Weird Stuff

It wasn't
Halloween

LAWRENCE. Kan. -
Two college students
and a high school girl
entered a restaurant
wearing only veils over
their faces, pranced
around diners and placed
candy corn on each of
the tables. The see-it-all
incident happened at a
Perkins. a popular hang-
out for the late-night
student crowd.

A manager called po-
lice, but the group left
before they arrived. Un-
fortunately for the
pranksters, their car was
parked right in front of
the restaurant, and an
employee wrote down
the license plate num-
ber. When police caught
up with them a few
blocks away, they were
partially clothed. The
girl, 17. and two male

dents. ages 21 and 22.

exposure charges.

“The motivation was
that they were bored,"

‘ 60. Well it's true and here's
Quint Tatro how to do it.
WW— According to the Wall Street

Journal. the United States
ranks at the bottom of countries where citizens are
subject to saving money.

The global marketplace thrives on Americans to
purchase any product we deem a necessity. But. with
constant economic uncertainty in the air and the
common knowledge of a future scarcity among that
scapegoat called “social security.“ the time to save is
now.

Young adults should be the first to step to the
plate and put aside some cash for their future. But
they're not.

An Individual Retirement Account is a personal
savings plan or selfchosen investment portfolio that
many people hold along with any pensions or retire
ment plans their employment may provide. Although
IRAs are a great way to prepare for the uncertainties
of the future, it's not quite what I‘m suggesting.

In 1997, with the help of Sen. William Roth. our
government passed the Taxpayer Relief Act. This act,
enabling small tax breaks for qualifying Americans,
also generated a new savings plan geared toward

The Student

safe way to invest

young adults.

Originally called The American Dream IRA. this
savings device allows a person to invest. grow and re»
ceive their money completely tax-free. Although your
initial investments are not tax deductible. when your
money matures you can take it out completely tax-
free. as long as you followed the guidelines. Let‘s look
at an example:

Joe Investor. age 20. begins his Roth IRA by in
vesting $5 a day. or $2000 a year (the maximum
amount you can invest). He continues this religiously
for 20 years. At the age of 40. Joe wants to know how
much he's saved. To calculate. we‘ll use a modest rate
of 10 percent. In Joe‘s Roth IRA. he currently has
$114,550. Joe decides to keep investing and waits until
he‘s 60 (The minimum age without a penalty) to re-
trieve his money. At 60. Joe has earned 3885.180 com-
pletely tax-free!

Alvin Green. of Central Bank investing, said a
person can set up a Roth IRA for as little as $10 a year.
There is no age limit. and the sooner a person invests.
the more money they will have in the future.

Green said Central Bank’s Roth or Self-Directed
IRA primarily goes through a brokerage firm or
“wire house" in Baltimore. This allows you to pick
and choose all your individual investments. You can
deposit money at any time as long as it does not
amount to more than $2.000 in a given year.

Invest wisely. and you may soon be sitting on a
fortune.

Undergrads
piling up big
loan debts

Nellie Mae report shows students seeing red
when it comes time to graduate, find jobs

By Jessica Coy

NEWS EDITOR

 

Nearly one-fourth of all
former undergraduate stu-
dents at private. four-year col-
leges and 18 percent of their
counterparts at public. four-
year schools have loan debt
levels exceeding their current
salaries.

What‘s more. 12 percent of
all undergraduates monthly
student loan payments repre-
sent more than 20 percent of
their monthly income. accord-
ing to results of the National
Student Loan Survey conduct—
ed by Nellie Mae. a provider of
student loans.

The study also shows that
although student loan debt is
higher than ever. most re-
spondents think a college edu—
cation is worth it.

Nancy Taylor. assistant
director of UK student loan
services. said that while bor-
rowing money for college is of-
ten a necessity. many students
borrow more money than they
need.

“One thing we tell stu-
dents is to look at how much
money they need before ac~
cepting the full student loan
amount.“ Taylor said. “We tell
them to try to factor in part-
timejobs that might give them
the extra money they need."

Forty-seven percent of
public. four-year college un-
dergraduates reported a sig-

nificant burden due to student
loans. In addition. some for-
mer undergraduate students.
particularly art and music
students, reported debt levels
so high that they think their
starting salaries are inade-
quate.

To help students figure
out how their starting salaries
will measure up to student
loan payments. UK is looking
into online student loan coun-
seling programs that can pro-
ject starting salaries in cer»
tain fields of study. The pro-
grams can also project the
amount of student loan pay-
ments based on the amount
borrowed.

“The online programs can
allow students to look into
how wise it may or may not be
for a philosophy major to
graduate with a bachelor‘s de
gree and a $40000 debt. when
there are not that many jobs
available in their field." said
Judy Marshal. L‘K financial
ombud.

Data from the. report
showed the average student
loan debt level. from a popula»
tion of approximately 65 per-
cent undergraduate borrow-
ers and 35 percent of graduate
borrowers. increased from
$8.200 in 1991 to 818.000 in
1997. Median debt was 313.000.

Widespread illnesses hit It states

NASHVILLE »~ Hundreds of people living
near or working at nuclear weapons plants and
research installations in 11 states are suffering
from an array of unexplained illnesses. The Ten
nessean reported Tuesday.

The newspaper interviewed 410 people
whose ailments included tremors. memory loss.
fatigue and a variety of breathing, muscular and
reproductive problems. Their doctors cannot ex-
plain why they are sick.

No direct link has been established between
the illnesses and the Energy Department sites.
The 410 people are not a scientific sampling and
represent only a tiny percentage of the millions
of people who live near or work at the plants.

Nor is it clear whether the people at or near
these plants suffer a higher rate of unexplained
illnesses than the general population.

Still, doctors. scientists and lawmakers said
the number of sick people is large enough to war-
rant a comprehensive study to try to find the
cause.

“Four hundred people is a lot of people.” said
George W. Lucier. director of the environmental
toxicology program at the National Institute of
Environmental Health Sciences. “It‘s not just two
or three. It is something widespread. At least the
wheels should be set in motion in which a team
of physicians can go in and look at things more
systematically."

China to sign human rights bill

WASHINGTON ._. China's top diplomat said
Tuesday his government will sign a key human
rights declaration next week.

Making his diplomatic debut in Washington.
Foreign Minister Tang Jiaxuan. also urged the
United States to proceed in a “very calm and
very prudent manner" in dealing with its con-
cerns over North Korea.

Tang informed President Clinton that China
will sign the International Covenant on Civil and
Political Rights in New York on Oct. 5.

China had committed itself to signing the de-
claration months ago but had not specified a
date. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright made
the disclosure to reporters with Tang at her side
and said she was happy about the development.

IfChina abides by the covenant, it could mean
a considerable loosening up of Chinese society be-
cause it calls on signatories to allow freedom of ex-
pression. the press. religion and association.

Some Chinese dissidents are demanding the
elimination of laws that conflict with the con-
yenant.

Mike Jendrzejczyk. who follows China at Hu-
man Rights Watch. said Tang‘s announcement
was welcome news but added that implementa-
tion of the covenant is what counts.

“They signed one against torture and torture
remains widespread in China." he said.

bouts linger in'llantsey case

BOULDER. Colo. — If two lead investigators
in the slaying of JonBenet Ramsey can’t agree
who did it, how could a jury reach a decision?

That's the question being asked this week after
homicide investigator lou Smit released a resigna-
tion letter in which he said he believes the girl’s
parents, John and Patsy Ramsey, are innocent.

His resignation followed the departure last
month of Detective Steve Thomas, whose resigna-
tion letter accused District Attorney Alex Hunter
of bungling the case to try to protect the Ramseys.

“If two investigators with the most knowl-
edge and access of this case disagree about who
did it, Lord knows what a jury will think." said
legal analyst Andrew Cohen.

Smit said in his letter that JonBenet's par-
ents “did not do it." “The case tells me that there
is substantial, credible, evidence of an intruder
and lack of evidence that the parents are in-
volved," the investigator wrote.

John Ramsey said the letter proves the family
has been unfairly targeted by police. who have said
the Ramseys are under an “umbrella of suspicion.”

Oprah shuns Lewinsky interview

NEW YORK — Oprah Winfrey was offered
the first Monica Lewinsky interview but turned
it down after the former White House intern be-
gan making demands over videotape and inter-
national broadcast rights for the interview.
That’s according to TV Guide.

Winfrey tells the magazine, “I didn’t get
burned. it just got to be too complicated.“

The queen of TV talk says she wanted to in-
terview President Clinton‘s paramour because
she can relate to her predicament.

“I think Monica's gotten a really bad rap. I’ve
been 21 and know what it's like to be 21. And an
intern. In a situation where the president of the
company acts like he likes you,“ she said.

First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton is sched-
uled to appear on Oprah in November to promote
a book Dear Socks, Dear Buddy, a collection of
letters sent to the First Pets. But Winfrey said the
show‘s focus will have to change “under the cir~
cumstances."

Ad changed to calm White House

WASHINGTON « Clothing maker Tommy
Hilfiger said Tuesday it would alter an advertis-
ing campaign after the White House complained
about the depiction of an alluring young woman
sitting on what appeared to be President Clin-
ton‘s desk in the Oval Office.

The ad, published recently in Vanity Fair,
Glamour and other US. magazines. showed the
woman wearing a Hilfiger dress remarkably sim-
ilar to descriptions of the one former White
House intern Monica Lewinsky wore during a
sexual encounter with Clinton at the White
House. The company said it later learned that a
White House policy forbids the use of the execu-
tive mansion or its likeness in advertising.

the students and the taxpay-
ers of the Commonwealth of
Kentucky."

Raitz would not comment
on UK’s decision not to allow
multiple vendors to accept
the PLUS account as a
method of payment, nor
would she comment on Ridg-
way’s affidavit. DeBin also
could not be reached for com-
ment.

The appeal said the eval-
uating committee did not fol-
low the point system stated
in the Request for Proposals,
which was issued May 14 by
UK. and did not take the com-
mission offered to the Uni-
versity into account when
making the decision to award
the pizza contract to Papa
John's.

According to the appeal,
Domino's offered to pay UK a
little more than 25 percent
commission. which was the
highest commission offered of
the bidders. Papa John’s of—
fered 15 percent commission.

Despite submitting a bid
more than 40 percent lower
than each of the other bid-
ders, the Evaluating Com-
mittee still awarded Papa
John’s 171.08 of a possible
240 points in the category of
"Commission Paid to the
University."

Domino‘s also said in the
appeal that the questionnaire
distributed to UK students
asking about their pizza pref-
erences was not valid.

The questionnaire. which
was distributed by the evalua-
tion committee April 6-9
asked students four questions:
What time of day or evening
do you order pizza? What is
your favorite brand of pizza?
What is your least favorite
brand of pizza? What price do
you expect to pay for a whole
pizza?

The appeal states. “The
questionnaire did not inform
the students why they were
being polled, did not ask the
students for their food prefer-
ences other than pizza."

Domino's said in the ap-
peal that “there was an inde-
terminate number of surveys
submitted with only about 257
being returned. Of this 257. 231
answered the question regard.
ing their favorite brand of piz-
za, and only 200 answered the
question regarding their least
favorite brand of pizza.

“Out of these diminished
numbers," the appeal said.
“18 percent responded with
answers that are irrelevant
for the purposes of the RE-
QUEST FOR PROPOSALS
(Request for Proposals). Ex-
amples of irrelevant respons-
es are when students stated
that their favorite brand of
pizza was cheese, mushroom,
etc."

Domino’s concluded the
appeal by asking DeBin to
“overrule the denial of its
formal protest and either
open the PLUS account and
catered events to each of the
four bidding pizza vendors,
or establish and supply ob-
jective and quantifiable crite-
ria for awarding the con-
tracts."

The appeal comes on the
tail of a formal protest of UK‘s
decision filed by Domino‘s and
Mad Mushroom with the UK
Division of Purchasing on
July 14.

The formal protest was de-
nied.

A signed letter from Ken
Clevidence, the senior direc-
tor of Procurement and Con-
struction Divisions. to
Thomas Bullock, the attor-
ney for the pizza companies,
dated Aug. 18- denied the
protest. saying. “I would like
to point out to you and to
other who may have occa-
sion to read this letter, that
neither Domino's nor Mad
Mushroom is precluded from
delivering pizza to our stu-
dents either on or off cam-
pus.

“They may do so and ac-
cept cash. checks or any other
form of payment, other than

the PLUS Card," Clevidence'

wrote. “In making this deter-
mination, I have necessarily

Henry Rollins speaks of experience in his
latest spoken-word album 'Think Tank'

By Luke Saladin
SCENE EDIIOR

Whether they admit it
or not, the career of an
artist can be poisoned or
perfumed by the simplistic
world of media criticism ~
just like the one you're
reading right now.

Most credible talents,
besieged by hype ma-
chines, have two choices:
Either cater to the ever-
clasping hands of these ap-
pointed judges or use the
negativity as a gimmick.

Henry Rollins does nei-
ther.

The former leader of
'805 punk~rock band Black
Flag is impossible to cor-
ner. because his art has no
essence and no precedent.
Besides, it really doesn‘t
seem like he cares.

In his latest spoken-
word effort, Think Tank,
Rollins paws at comedy

* nd cynical rants only to
nderscore his more pro-

  

His discursive mantra
pokes at everything from
the stupidity of racism and
homophobia to the general
unintelligible nature of
people.

His thick, raspy voice
and tough-as-nails prose
present a persistent, if not
slightly disturbing, verbal
candor.

Rollins began writing
while on the road with
Black Flag, because he
wanted to chronicle his life.
on the road.

Some of his favorite au-
thors include Thomas
Wolfe and Dostoyevsky.

“I have never consid-
ered myself a writer,"
Rollins said in a press re-
lease. “I just try to exter-
nalize the internal."

In addition to Black
Flag and a solo career,
Rollins’ accolades include a
publishing company (2-13-
61 Publications), several
books and a nebulous act-
ing career that includes a
plethora of questionable

Rollins speaks
out in ‘Tank’

role choices (remember the
doctor in Johnny Mnemon-
ic),

But by the time you

stop to analyze him.
Rollins moves on to some-
thing else.

Think Tank contains a
Chicago show that was
taped on his birthday and a
collection of performances
during a recent trip to Aus-
tralia.

Part of what makes the
album so compelling is his
deep connection with his
audience.

Rollins‘ expression of
gratitude to his fans is
made believable by his
willingness to share so
openly from his personal
life experiences.

Henry Rollins — the
antithesis of academia. He
strips away the gauze of
language and social con-
ventions and presents the
world in a way most people
don't like to see it -- stark,
vulnerable and ugly.

Who could criticize
that?

surr wnum -

“Cupid” is a cool show.

The Greek god of love is
sent to Earth as punishment.
He must unite 100 couples be-
fore his return to Mount Olym-
pus. Sounds insane, doesn't it?

So thinks everyone at the
psychiatric ward, where Cupid
(Jeremy Piven) finds himself at
the outset of the show that
shares his name (ABC. Satur-
days at 10 pm).

Yet he still escapes. tricking
even his psychologist (Paula
Marshall), Dr. Claire Allen.
Allen is a best-selling author
looking for her next big book
and doesn’t immediately pay

much heed to the fallen love god.

So. Cupid gets out, finds a
name (Trevor Hale). and joins
the singles group run by Dr.
Allen. Perfect set-up.

“Cupid" is quirky. Very
quirky. It's also the best new
show to debut yet. Lots of
shows have attempted to pull
off quirky in the wake of “Ally
McBeal." This show pulls it off.

Piven is the reason it suc-
ceeds, as he is always with a
perpetual smirk. In one scene.
an actor stands before him. do-
ing his Student Tony award
winning role as Odysseus; that
is. until Cupid tells him that the
proud Greek warrior had a hor-
rible lisp and proceeds to
demonstrate the Sylvester the
cat-like impediment.

“Cupid" has a chance to
snatch many viewers away
from NBC‘s
CBS's wretched “Walker. Texas
Ranger." It has wit. dialogue
and the new “Fantasy Island"
leading up to it.

OK. I know you‘re saying.
“Fantasy Island?“ This show is
produced by Barry Sonnenfeld.
the director of The Addams Fam-
ily and Men in Black; this is not
your mother‘s “Fantasy Island."

Malcolm McDowell plays
Mr. Rourke. and now the host
wears a black suit. Following
McDowell‘s lead, the show is a
great deal darker, killing a
guest in the first episode. and
replacing Tatoo
strange Sidekicks,

Harry (Edward Hibbert) is
concierge of the island's hotel.
All we know about Harry is
that Rourke found him in a
burning building. He‘s playing
the exact same person he was

“Profiler” and

with three

on
slightly effeminate snob.

“Frasier" —~ a pompous,

Louis Lombardi plays the

bellhop. Cal. Maybe bellhop. he-
licopter pilot. bartender and
stage hand would be a more ap—
propriate description. All the
helpers appear throughout the
fantasies. but Cal pops up more
often than the others.

Ariel (Madchen Amick)

seems to be a shape changer. In
any form, she‘s gorgeous.

The main source of fun in
the show comes from the con-
stant bickering of these three
“aides," and the power Rourke
seems to hold over them. The
conclusion of the pilot has them
asking Mr. Rourke if they‘re
any closer to "going home."
Can you say “Hell?”

"Fantasy Island" and “Cu-
pid" are two shows you should
tape when you go out on Satur-
day nights. They‘re not some-
thing to miss.
