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.

The private recreational facility.
called the Hilary J. Boone Faculty
Center. claims as members about 2.-

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. ”

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."

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

Those critics on Capitol Hill and
elsewhere who are unwillim under
any circumstances to negotiate
arms reductions with Moscow will

“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.

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

Kuder said.

Not only is enforcement a prob-

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

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

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

However. Eviston didn‘t uphold his
reputation. Reedy said.

“He came and honestly ll'lt‘d to

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.
