Today: Chance of afternoon rain Tomorrow: Partly cloudy By DAN HASSERT Editor in chief The manager of the UK Faculty Club was fired Nov. 10 for failing to satisfy expectations of the club‘s board of directors. The board unanimously decided at a special meeting to fire Charles Eviston for management reasons. Eviston had managed the club since it opened March 9. “it was a decision by the board based on his management of the club. which included day-to-day management and included fiscal" responsibilities. said Daniel Reedy. board president. Reedy would not elaborate. but said no further action was planned. Eviston declined to comment last night, referring all questions to Vice President for Administration Ed Carter. “1 really don’t have any- thing to say.” Eviston said.

Kentucky Faculty club manager fired amid money woes 200 UK faculty. administrative staff, UK Fellows and retired professors. Members pay a $12 monthly fee and are billed for meals and other charges at the end of each month. A newsletter released in early Novem- ber reminded members to pay their accounts due. which totaled more than $40,000. said Art Howard, the acting manager of the club. This money was the sole source of income. since the initial $2 million (from a donation by Kentucky horseman Hilary J. Boone and matching UK funds) had been ear— marked for the building's construc- tion and furnishing. said Carter. an original member of the board and now an ex officio member. However. Howard said the threat this figure posed to the future of the club was exaggerated. “Basically. when you think about it. that‘s not unusual.” he said. “Once you operate for about a year. it‘s a normal part of business. But it causes a new business some cash- f low problems. ” Mix-up Workers lay concrete on the sidewalk outside of the Mining. Min- erals and Research Building. The building is next to the Hilary J. Boone Faculty Club. The research building is expected to be completed shortly. 7 Te“ “W ALAN HAWSE Kernel Start Alcohol task force allowed more time By THOMAS J. SULLIVAN News Editor Art Gallaher. chancellor for the Lexington campus. has granted the alcohol task force “all the time (they) need" to draft an alcohol pol- icy proposal, said James Kuder. al- cohol task force chairman. The task force met yesterday for the last time this semester. Discussion over UK‘s alcohol poli- cy has been going on for more than a year. This task force was formed at the begining of the semester with the goal of drafting a proposal by the end of the semester. “(Gallaheri has given me an un- specified extension. which I take as meaning we can have all the time we need." Kuder said. Fight over pact could be By BARRY SCHWEID Associated Press WASHINGTON —- The brewing fight on Capitol Hill and across the country over the medium-range mis- sile ban that President Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev are set to sign may be only a warm-up for a bloodier struggle over a treaty to slash long-range missile arsenals. Many of the same issues are in both accortk. but magnified in a Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) because it involves more radical charges in the American nu- clear arsenal. The weapons that would be scrapped by START are much more important to the defense of the Unit- ed States and allies in Western Eu- rope and Asia than the rockets due for dismantling under an interme- diate-range Nuclear Forces ([NF) pact. Eliminatim all U.S. medium- range rockets will still leave 4.000 U.S. nuclear weapons in Eta-ope. “We need to allow time to discuss the other issues - fraternities. soro- rities." etc Kuder said. “Ob- viously we are not going to complete our tasks by the deadline." Yesterday‘s discussion centered on alcohol in the fraternities and problems with enforcement of any policy. R. David Cobb. a pharmacy pro- fessor. applauded the efforts of UK greeks to enforce their own rules governing alcohol at parties. “I don‘t believe we‘re even going to scratch the surface of what the greeks have done,“ Cobb said. “It used to be ‘come party. party. party.‘ (alcohol is) not near as prev- alent as it was 10 years ago." Doug Wilson, acting dean of stu- ANALYSIS But a 50 percent reduction in strate- gic arms — the goal set by Reagan and Gorbachev - would make a vastly more substantial cut in Amer- ican armaments. Hard choices would have to be made by the Pentagon on which weapom to keep and which to scrap in order to stay under prescribed ceilings. By contrast, the impact of the missile ban Reagan and Gorbachev are signing Tuesday afternoon is slight. About 7 percent of the 55.000 U.S. and Soviet warheads will be dismantledovertlu'eeyears. Those critics on Capitol Hill and elsewhere who are unwillim under any circumstances to negotiate arms reductions with Moscow will be considerably more exercised dents. agreed saying fraternities “have made a supreme effort." But Kuder. offering a possible al- ternative for the policy. asked Inter- fraternity Council President Bob Dunn what would happen if the poli- cy stated “no alcohol in frats.“ ”It will go on: you won‘t stop it." Dunn said. Dunn said that drafting a prohib» itive policy would have negative ef— fects on the University. “If you were to have no alcohol on this campus you will be setting your- self up for more liability." Dunn said. Dunn said that the risk of liability would increase with a prohibitive policy because UK could not enforce it. preview for when it comes to globe-girdling bombers, missiles and submarines. And those critics. who are in favor of treaties provided the terms are right. also will have more to worry about. The missile ban Reagan and Gor- bachev are signing sets a precedent for inspection of each other‘s territo- ry. But most of the Soviet inspectors will go to bases in Western Europe. where the U.S. medium-range rock- ets are to be dismantled. Only a few Soviet monitors will come to the United States to make sure replace- ments are not illegally manufac- tured. Only one plant. in Magda. Utah. has been singled out for continuous Soviet monitoring. A START treaty would involve more intnisive Soviet inspection of U.S. weapons bases and factories. American negotiators, in an effort to avert Soviet cheatim. have set up in the [NF accord the most intensive “Enforcement is Kuder said. Not only is enforcement a prob- lems with forming an alcohol policy. but having a consistent policy is a problem also. Discussion became heated when Cobb asked “you got 21-yearolds that can legally drink. The question is where can they drink?" “The University has said that 21- year-olds can drink on campus by the situation at Spindletop and The Faculty Club." Cobb said. Cobb suggested that the Universi- ty provide 21-year-olds with a place of their own to purchase alcohol by the drink on campus. a problem." The next task force meeting will be announced after the end of the se- mester.

But it carries with it the burden of reciprocity. If Americans go to Rmsia to pry, the Soviets have a matching right to poke around here. The START treaty is bound to in- volve a much more intensive (pers- tion in both countries. And that is likely to raise concenis among American politicians and in- telligence specialists who are leery of hevim the Sovies here. While these uncollected accounts put the club in a shaky financial sit- uation. Reedy and other board mem- bers stressed that the situation was not necessarily a result of Eviston's management and did not necessarily cause his termination. However. Howard said Eviston might not have been prepared for these problems. "Charles might not have antic- ipated the problems he‘d have with cash flow." Howard said. “He had Tuesday. December 8. 1987 some big plans which were kinda unrealistic, a little too elaborate " Eviston was chosen from 92 appli- cants after a national search. He had been faculty club manager at Louisiana State L'niversity and club manager at Baylor Medical Center However. Eviston didn‘t uphold his reputation. Reedy said. “He came and honestly ll'lt‘d to fulfill our specifications and 1 lion- estly believed that he tried to do that." Reedy said. \t‘v.‘(lllh.

Martha Layne Col- lins made two appointments to the UK Board of Trustees last night. However. she passed up the opportu- nity to appoint two others. Collins had four vacancies to fill on the University of Kentucky Board of Trustees. but made only two ap- pointments. She reappointed current chairman Robert McCowan to serve until De- cember 1988 and replaced Ted Las- setter of Lexington with Chief Jus- tice Robert Stephens.

Collins included friends and long-time associates among the doz- ens of appointments she made on her last day in office.

Ashland; Stuart Jay of Louisville was reappointed: Haitian capital crippled by strike for elections By DAN SEWELL Associated Press PORT-AU-PRINCE. Haiti * Most businesses were closed in the capital yesterday as Haitians observed a general strike called to force the rul- ing junta to allow civilians to super- vise elections thwarted by a terror campaign. Although there appeared to have been problems spreading word of the hastily called nationwide strike. most of downtown Port-au-Prince was shut down. Outlying factories that stayed open reported up to 70 percent ab- senteeism. Radio Metropole. the only radio station broadcasting news. indicated the strike was ignored in Cap Hai- tien. a port city on the north coast and the country‘s second-largest population center. But it said the strike was partly successful in St. Marc, Hinche and Port-de-Paix and had paralyzed Gonaives, the Carib bean nation‘s fourth-largest city. There were no reports of violence. Trucks filled with soldiers rumbled through the streets and police and soldiers stood at bus stops. The four leading presidential can- didates endorsed the strike, which initially was called by key labor unions to protest the Nov. 29 cancellation of what would have been Haiti‘s first free elections in 30 years. Bands of thug shot and hacked to death at least 34 people that Sunday morning. Many of the victims had lined up to vote. Soldiers did nothing to protect people and in some cases joined in the attacks. Shocked by the killings. the inde- pendent electoral council called off the voting. Junta leader Lt Gen Henri Namphy dissolved the civil- ian-run council. The government did not comment on the strike. Its offices were open and a secretary at the Ministry of Finance estimated 60 percent to 70 percent of the employees were there. The international airport re- mained open. although Eastern Air» lines canceled one of two Miami flights and Air Jamaica canceled its only Puerto Rico flight. Among those who called the strike. there was unanimity neither on what its objective should be nor how long it should last. Some had called for a twoday strike seeking restoration of the electoral council. Others demanded an indefinite boycott until the junta steps down. Some Haitians said they were con- fused by that scenario and it could not be determined whether it will last two days. Fred Pierre-Louis. president of the Haitian Hotel and Tourism Asso- ciation. said that although some businesses closed for fear of dam- age. many shut their doors to pres- surethegovemment. 2 — Kentucky Kernel.

But even if the Switow family de- cided not to fund the Kentucky’s re- furbishment. the Lexington commu- nity seems adamant not to let the Kentucky die. “If there was a need for more money," said Mills, “I don’t think we would have problems raising it.

If the UK student body thinks an alter- native radio station is essential. the need for an alternative movie the- ater is even more so. If you want to hear progressive music bad enough, you’ll eventually buy it. It takes a theater to bring progressive movies into the individual's acquaintance unless you‘re willing to wait for the movie's video release where a year lag time must be expected.

Consulate and opening up new channels of contact between the su- perpowers. The increase in the number of So- viets going to the United States is part of an overall shift in Kremlin emigration policies in the months leading up to this week‘s U.S.-Soviet summit meeting. Thousands of Jews, ethnic Germans, Armenians and others have left permanently or for visits to the West this year. Jewish emigration, a hot political issue in the West, is nowhere near the peak reached in 1909, when more than 51,000 Soviet Jews left for is- rael or other Western nations. However, emigration and private trips are up sharply from 1%6, when only 914 Jews and 698 ethnic Ger- mans emigrated all year and only 500 Soviets, most of them officials, made it to the United States each month. At the US. Embassy, the boom in emigration and visitor applications means the consulate, usually de~ serted on most weekday afternoons, is jammed with Armenians and MW. “It's like the Metro out there," said US. Consul-General Max Rob- inson, gesturing to the consulate's main room but referring to the busy Moscow subway. Piles of visa application forms in Rissian and extra chairs have ap- peared to cope with the flow of Soviv ets. Each day the applicants arrive by the dozens, sometimes hundreds, to present their Soviet documents au- thorizing the visit to the two Soviet policemen who stand guard outside the embassy entrance. Once inside, they face another security check by the US. staff, straining the young Marine guards’ command of Rus- sian. At the consular section of the aging compound, the prospective emigres and visitors dutifully copy sample application forms displayed around the waiting area, which is adorned with a map of the United States and a poster from Texas. This week, a team of six experts from Washington is on hand to com- puterize the consulate files “because we're so busy,“ Robinson said. The consular staff generally start work at 8:30 am. and are often around until 7:30 pm. to process visa applications, he said. Kentuckian given go-ahead on heart transplant Associated Pres LOUISVILLE — Walton Jones Jr., the Kentucky photographer who re- ceived an artificial heart when his bypass surgery failed, was given the medical go-ahead yesterday for a human heart transplant. “The transplantation workup is complete, and Mr. Jones has just been placed on the organ procure- ment list on the highest rating," said Donna Hazle, a spokeswoman for Humana Hospital-Audubon. Dr. William DeVries, the pioneer artificial heart surgeon who per- formed the operation on Jones last Friday, said Jones was awake and alert Monday. DeVries and Jones had discussed the possibility of getting an artificial heart implant if his bypass surgery failed, but the prospect hit home only when the surgeon brought in the consent form, said Jones' cardio- logist. The notion of being tied to a ma- chine for the rest of his life scared him, said Dr. David Dageforde. “He would say over and over and over, ‘If I only have so long, 1 want to be very active."

On Tuesday, two days before the bypass surgery, Jones went deer hunting and told hunting companion Robert James that if the operation hadn’t been planned already, he‘d have put it off because his heart medicine was making him feel so much better. But Jones, 60, a commercial pho- tographer, had suffered two heart attacks in the past three years that had nearly killed him, and his heart was already so weak that one more most likely would kill him. He went ahead with the operation, which he expected to free him from the risk of heart attack and let him continue the vigorous outdoor life he loved. But by 4 pm. Friday, it was clear that what had seemed like a remote possibility had become reality: Jones was about to die and DeVries had to implant the plastic heart. Jones had understood that the are tificial heart implant could be per- manent but believed the possibility was remote, Dageforde said.

Increased emigration mostly af- fects Armenians. In November 1906, Robinson said. just 50 Soviets ap peared at the consulate with permis- sion to settle in the United States. This November. the total was 1,175. Of these, 737 applications were processed, and 673 were from Arme- nians. “If the Soviets continue to give these people exit permissions, we‘re talking 12,000 to 15,000 people a year,“ Robinson said. "That‘s sig- nificant emigration from one coun- try to another, especially if its large- ly from one republic. “It's like, ‘Will the last person in Yerevan please turn out the light?” he said, adding that as many as 80.- 000 Armenians reportedly want to emigrate to the United States. There is a large Armenian population in LosAngeles. Last year, about 500 Soviets a month made individual trips to the United States, Robinson said, three- quarters of them on official busi» ness. That number has grown to about 1,000 a month since August, when the effects of new Soviet regulations on visiting relatives abroad began to befelt. Last month, 920 Soviets —— 420 of them Jewish — got visas to visit rel- atives in the United States, where many of the Jewish emigres of the 10705 settled. The increase means that Soviets of all ages are getting a rare direct glimpse at the United States and can resume contacts with family mem« bers they have not seen for years. “It's like a miracle, I‘m so happy," one elderly Muscovite said last week after receivmg permission to go to New York to see his daugh- ter — his only child — for the first time in 12 years.
