SEA questions phone book contract

By Perry Brothers

Natl Izilttor

A face can launch a thousand ships, so the saying goes, btit
the back ofa head has launched censorship, some itieiiibers of
the Student Government Association say.

After complaints about the cover of the 1994—95 L'K
Directory, University officials have revised SGA's contract,
giving administrators the right to review and change the
book's content prior to publication. Complaints about the
cover of this year's book, which features the back of a UK
swimmer‘s shaved head bearing a blue \Vildcat paw print,
began before the book was ptiblished, said Frank Harris. Uni—
versity adviser to S( iA.

Since the release of the book, both the administration and
SGA have received various complaints about the cover,
including one person who thottght the photo depicted a nude
football player.

Every five years, the Student Government Association and
the University administration tiiust renew or reftise a new
contractual agreement detailing the rights and responsibilities
ofeach group in the production ofthe directory.

The last contract, signed by former SGA President Sean
Lohnian in 1989, made no mention of the directory's content.

btit this year's contract states that both S(}A and the adminis»
tration tiitist agree on the content of the cover atid the intro
ductory pages.

“I don‘t care how they sugarcoat it, it‘s censorship," said
Amy Abernathy, SCA's executive director for sttideiit services
who helped choose the cover.

Abernathy said she understands the basis ofthe complaints
but doesn‘t think they jtistify the retraction ofthe sttidents'
right to control the book's editorial content.

S(i:\ has received $15,000 to $20,000 annually for its role
in the production and distribution ofthe phone book for the
past 15 years. Those funds are deposited into a discretionary
account for emergency use by the S( 1A president.

“They're saying. 'Abide by our rules or we'll cut your con—
tract,‘ " Abernathy said, adding that she would rather give tip
the money than give tip an existing student right.

“You can't pttt a monetary value on students' rights," she
said. “1 would rather have our privileges revoked than give tip
otir principle.

“I“..specially since the money goes to the discretionary fund,
\\'e barely used any ofthose funds this year."

However, SGA president Benny Ray Baileyjr., w ho con»
trols S( iA's decision on the directory contract, said be under

Student worries about friends in Japan

By John Abbott

Senior Staff 1 i 'r/tt'r

As the death toll rises in the
worst earthquake to hit japan in
more than 70 years, people across
the world extend their sympathy to
those living there, but still remain
detached because they weren’t
affected directly.

UK graduate student Mami
\Vada does not have that luxury.

Now, as the people in japan
begin to cope with the quakes
aftermath, “'ada and some fellow
UK students say they want to help
otit, by aiding an emergency relief
drive in Lexington for victims of
the tragedy.

VVada, 22, is a graduate student
in the Patterson School of Diplo—
inacy.

She is from japan, and she has
has family in and around Kobe, the
port city on the southern coast of
Honshu Island where Tuesday's
massive earthquake resulted in
more than 4,000 deaths.

The quake, measuring 7.2 on the
Richter scale, has been the deadliest
earthquake to strike japan since
1923, when an 8.3—inagnitude
quake claimed more than 100,000
lives.

In all, 4-}, ()80 buildings have
been destroyed or badly damaged.

small town near Kobe that also was devastated by the
quake.

Her grandmother still lives there. She has an
aunt, uncle, and cousin who live in Kobe. Her par-
ents live in Osaka.

\Vhen she learned of the earthquake, \Vada said
she thought, “I cannot believe it's my town. I cannot
believe it happened because my hometown is small
and quiet. I cannot believe it had such a big earth—
quake.

“I feel like I don't have a place to go back to."

Her grandmother and father both suffered slight
injuries, but the rest of her family escaped
unscathed. She knows other people, however, whose
families weren’t so fortunate.

The grandparents of one of her friends were

severely injured when a building they were in col—
lapsed.

Another friend‘s uncle was killed when he was
crushed by a piano.

“1 am really worried about my friends in Kobe. 1
cannot talk to them," \A'ada said. “I don't know
where they are."

“They don't have water. They don’t have any
food in Kobe," she said.

\‘I'ada caine to the United States six months ago
and has not been home since.

“I want to go back to japan," she said, “but I
can't."

It's not academics that prevents her, btit she says
now her hometown is in the midst of dealing with
destruction.

“I cannot do anything ifI went. so I will wait and
