Farmers say tobacco
will continue to thrive

 

By Stephen Trlmble
Assistant News Editor

Tobacco farming is here to stay,
some state tobacco farmers say, de-
spite a proposal by the United
States Department of Agriculture to
eliminate UK‘s tobacco research
program and 18 others across the
nation.

The move, announced Friday, has
upset many of those farmers whose
tobacco contributes more than $800
million a year to the state‘s econo-
my, according to 1991 statistics
from the UK College of Agricul-
ture.

“Prohibition never has worked,“
said Danny McKinney, Lexington
tobacco grower and Chief Execu-
tive Officer for the Burley Tobacco
Growers Association, drawing an
analogy between the USDA's pro-
posal and the alcohol ban of the
19205 and ‘30s

“The fact is, we are going to
grow tobacco in Kentucky for years
and years to come —~ longer than

Scorsone tells SGA to lobby

State representative says students
must remain active in Frankfort

 

By Melissa Rosenthal
Staff Writer

State Rep. Ernesto Scorsone
urged the Student Government As—
sociation last night to continue lob-
bying efforts in Frankfort for higher
education.

“If students remain a permanent
fixture in Frankfort, then they will
start playing a part in the decision-
making process," the Lexington
Democrat told SGA Senate.

He also said that to play a part in
the decision making process, all
students must let the legislature
know they are serious and deserve
to be taken seriously.

“The legislature needs to be edu-

cated on what the situation is like at
colleges in Kentucky,” he said.
“Many legislators are unaware of
the financial constraints that many
college students face."

Scorsone said, however, that he
was not optimis-
tic about stop-
ping tuition in-
creases.

“The budget
situation is bad
this year," he
said. “There is a .
tremendous tug-of—war going on in
Frankfort concerning the budget.“

Asked whether students should
bring their complaints to the state
Council on Higher Education or the
state legislators, Scorsone said:

WASHINGTON —- At least
two Soviets who spied for the
United States were killed after
being exposed by a career CIA
officer who has been accused of
selling national security secrets
to Moscow, American officials
said yesterday.

The government was still try-
ing to measure damage from the
alleged betrayal by CIA officer
Aldrich H. Ames.

But the Clinton administration
seemed determined not to allow
the issue to ruin relations with
Russian President Boris Yeltsin.

President Clinton said the case
involved a “very serious" breach
of security “because of issues
that I am not at this time at liber-
ty to discuss." But he cautioned
against a drastic change in US.-
Russia relations.

“I do not think the facts of this
case at this time undermine in
any way shape or form the policy
we have followed the last year to-
ward President Yeltsin and his
government and the forces of
change in Russia," Clinton said.

The administration has asked
the Russians to defuse tension
over the spy case by voluntarily
removing from Washington one
or more of the Russian intelli-
gence officers connected to the
alleged I985 recruitment of
Amos and his wife, Rosario.

 

 

U.S. spies killed
after leak in CIA

Senate Republican leader Rob-
ert Dole of Kansas called the
case “as damaging as any in US.
intelligence history."

He said that at a minimum the
Russians should “cease and con-
demn efforts to penetrate Ameri-
can intelligence.“

In Moscow, officials played
down the importance of the case
and said it should not provoke
“excessive political emotions."
Some said the United States con-
tinues to spy on Russia.

Russia’s Foreign Intelligence
Service chief, Yevgeny Prima-
kov, told The Associated Press
he had never heard of Ames.

The Ameses were charged
Tuesday with conspiracy to com-
mit espionage, a charge that car-
ries a potential penalty of life in
prison.

The couple are scheduled to
appear at a hearing in federal
court in Alexandria, Va., tomor-
row.

The Justice Department ac-
cused Ames. 52, and his wife,
41, of funneling US. national se-
curity secrets to the Soviet Un-
ion and later the Russian govem-
ment in exchange for cash
payments totaling $1.5 million.

The spy operation is alleged to
have continued until the two
were arrested by FBI agents on
Monday.

Vincent Cannistraro, a retired
CIA officer, said in an interview

“Students should be reminded that
they do not vote for the Council on
Higher Education, but they do vote
for their state legislators."

Scorsone said students must work
with their legislators if they expect
to make progress.

With persistence, he said, stu-
dents could make a difference.

In other business last night, the
Senate discussed a bill titled “Sen-
ate Spotlight."
The bill would
allocate $528 in
funds for adver-
tising in the
Kentucky Ker-
nel.

According to
one of the bill‘s
sponsors, Senator Shea Chaney, the
money would pay for six ads that
would focus on student services
provided by the SGA Senate.

Chaney said these services need

to be advertised because “they are
useful for students, but continue to
go unused because many students
don't know about them.“

Several senators debated whether
it was too late in the school year to
advertise such services.

“It is a good idea because we
can‘t reach everyone on campus
just by speaking out," Senator len-
nifer Schwartz said.

“Everyone needs to know of the
services offered."

Senator Adam Edelen did not
agree.

“I think this is like putting the
saddle on the horse in the last
stretch of the race,“ he said.

After heated debate, an amend-
ment was approved that would
change the name of the ad from
“Senate Spotlight," to “SGA Spot-
light."

Illness postpones
tonight’s lecture
by black author

 

By Doug Saretsky
Staff Writer

Tonight‘s lecture by black schol-
ar Henry Louis Gates Jr. has been
postponed for at least three weeks.

Dana Cox, specier assistant to the
dean of the College of Arts
and Sciences, said Gates is
suffering from the flu and
will reschedule his campus
appearance for sometime
later this spring.

Gates is expected to
speak on black American
literature, which first
gained national and inter-
national acclaim during
the Harlem Renaissance of
the 1920s.

Gates has written three books, in-
cluding “The Signifying Monkey:
Toward a Theory of Afro-American
Literary Criticism." for which he
won the American Book Award.

  

GATES

He also has published more than
100 articles and essays.

Gates is credited with playing a
key role in making black American
literature more accessible.

“Dr. Gates has viewed the Afri-
can-American experience with a
penetrating and probing mind," said
Doris Wilkinson, director
of UK's African-American
studies program.

“I can understand why
he would be interested in
the Harlem Renaissance; it
is an extraordinary part of
African-American intellec-
tual and creative history.“

Other University offi-
cials spoke favorably of
Gates‘ studies.

“Dr. Gates is one of the
most prominent, insightful, and out-
spoken scholars in the country,"
said Richard Edwards, dean of
UK‘s College of Arts and Sciences.

you or I will live —- and we have to
continue improving the product,“ he
said. “We can‘t give up on the re-
search.“

The reason UK‘s research center
may close, McKinney said, is at
least partly caused by the growing
stigma attached to tobacco.

“Corn and wheat research has not
been cut," he noted, even though
the two products are used to make
whiskey.

“Why cut research on the legal
product (tobacco) that we have
here."

Joseph Garbarino, agriculture
budget officer for the USDA in
Washington, DC, said yesterday
that the proposed cut, which will
take effect in 1995 if approved by
Congress, resulted from a reshaping
of the agency‘s priorities.

And the Agriculture Research
Service‘s $680 million budget. he
said, is too small to continue re-
search on tobacco products.

Instead, the same funds will be di-
verted to aid research in alternatives
to methyl bromide, a highly used

and toxic pesticide. and food safety.

UK agricultural officials. howev-
er. have accused the USDA of at-
tempting to wash its hands of any-
thing to do with tobacco, said Scott
Smith, UK ngronomy director.

Smith said USDA officials told
him that their agency wanted out of
the tobacco research and that is why
the USDA proposed the unexpected
cuts.

Garbarino denied the accusation,
saying, “It's not about tobacco."

McKinney, who doesn't smoke
or make cigarettes —— he just grows
the crop, would disagree.

He noted that Kentucky‘s tobac-
co industry is at its highest produc-
tion level in 20 years. More people
bought cigarettes worldwide in
1991 and 1992 than any other two
years in history, with more than 200
billion cigarettes being exported
from the United States in 1991.

Members of McKinney's growers
association met with him Tuesday
to expressed their disapproval of

KERA losing support

Boysen sees bright side of recent poll

 

Associated Press

 

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A poll
showing diminished support for the
Kentucky Education Reform Act
was no surprise to Education Corn-
missioner Thomas Boysen, who
said it still reflected “a hearty re-
solve to reform schools."

130an put a positive spin on re-
sults from the latest Bluegrass State
Poll that also showed most of those
questions don’t want schools to re-
vert to the way they were before the
1990 legislation.

But among those who said they
were aware of cinnges under the re-

form act, only 47 percent approved
of them, a decline of 10 percentage

points since last March.

“They‘re convinced a change was
needed, and they‘re evaluating how
happy they are with the change
they’ve got or are getting," Boysen
said.

The poll, conducted by The Cour-
ier-loumal from Feb. 7-13, showed
respondents were almost evenly di-
vided about whether the reform act
is greatly improving education.

“When you‘re trying to do some-
thing that‘s fundamentally changing
the way that people operate and
challenging them to higher stan-
dards, there will be some stress in-
volv Boysen said. “I think
we’re probably in the worst pct of

i KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Eight
\ 5 is enough. after all.
\g With less depth then the Cliffs

Notes of a “Robocop” script, the
UK Wildcats threw caution and
conditioning to the wind last
night against
Tennessee. They

clawed and
somehow found
a way to beat the
Volunteers 77-
73.

Ironically, free
throws won the
' game for the No.
Iguana 7 Cats (21-5).

While Travis
Ford, Gimel Martinez and Jared
Prickett served a one-game sus-
pension for their role in the now-
famous foul-line fraud fiasco,
Rodrick Rhodes sank seven
straight freebies to seal the victo-

 

ry.

Amazingly, the hack-happy
hoopsters had none of their eight
eligible players foul out, even
though Andre Riddick and Wal-

 

ter McCarty each had four fouls
with mac than eight minutes re-
maining.

“It was pivotal," UK coach Rick
Pitino said of the foul situation. “I
didn't think it was possible."

UK grabbed its first lead of the
game at 57-56 after two three-point
plays by Riddick, who slid,
scooped and strutted his way
through the orange paint all night.
Riddick had a career-high 18
points to go along with 8 rebounds
and 4 steals.

“I felt a little nervous tonight,"
Riddick said. “Usually, there’s a
lot of guys in there to get re-
bounds. But tonight it was just
me."

The Vols retook the lead before
an 8-0 run by the Cats, capped by
Jeff Brassow‘s three-pointer with
three minutes left. which brought
the blue half of the crowd of
18,131 to life.

A LeMarcus Golden three-
pointer with 30 seconds left
brought the Vols to within two.
But UT could not rattle Rhodes,
who scored all 13 of his points at
the foul line.

“That was really me every time,"
Rhodes said, referring to the stripe
switcheroos at Vanderbilt on Satur-

day.

With the Three Fugitives unable
to cross the state line, the Cats’
bench was so bare there were as
many assistant coaches (three) as
reserves at Pitino's side. It made
for makeshift lineups and a lot of
one-on-one offensive moves.

“We couldn‘t run a real of-
fense.“ Pitino said. “We had some
combinations in there that were
scary."

The Cats struggled with the their
new look in the first half, shooting
a feeble 35 percent and missing 15
of their 17 three-pointers.

The Volunteers led by as many
as 10 in the half. The inside game
didn't pose as much of a problem
as the outside game. Cortez
Barnes. making just hiSvninth start
of the season, hit four three-
pointers overtop of UK's 2—3 zone.
Barnes finished with 20 points and
6 three-pointers.

Still, Riddick‘s dunk at the first
half buzzer somehow left UK trail-
ing just 35-28 at the intermission.
But Tennessee pushed the bulge to
14 at the beginning of the second
half.

Seeing no alternative, UK broke
out of its deliberate, halfcourt style
and began pressing and chasing. It
worked.

“We were able to weather the
first half and come back and play

Eight is enough for Wildcats

Sans 3 stars, UK wins 77—73

Kentucky-style basketball," said
Brassow, who had 11. “We know
we can come here against all
odds and get a win.“

The shooting improved, too.
UK made 6—of-15 threes in the
second half and 48 percent over-
all. Tony Delk led all scorers
with 21 points.

UT‘s 7-foot center Steve Harn-
er didn't hammer the smaller
Cats the way some had expected.
He had 18 points and 11 re-
bounds but committed five tumo-
vers and missed nearly half his
shots.

Little-used Anthony Iipps
came up big last night, scoring a
career-high 8 points in 19 min-
utes, including two crucial three-
pointers. The freshman point
guard also had 5 rebounds and 3
assists.

“He grew up right in front of
our eyes tonight,“ Rhodes said.

The loss dropped Tennessee to
5—18 and 2-11 in the Southeast-
ern Conference. UK won its third
straight league game to improve
to 10-3. Two of those past three
have been improbable victories.
including the miracle comeback
at LSU a week ago.

“I’m almost as proud of this
game as I am of the 31—point
comeback," Pitino said.

Kerrigan in first;
Team USA ousted

 

By Larry MeShane
Associated Press

LILLEHAMMER, Norway — It
was a day for Olympic goodbyes
-— a fond farewell to Bonnie Blair
and her five gold medals. A too-
soon sendoff to the US. hockey
team and its hopes. A harsh see-
you-later for Tonya Harding and
her longshot bid.

Throw in a big hello for Nancy
Kerrigan, who put seven nightmar-
ish weeks behind her to grab first
place in a women‘s figure
skating competition rife
with intrigue and excite-
ment.

With Harding looking on.
Kerrigan flashed a wide
grin after completing a
net. perfect run over the ice
last night in Hamar. Once
the best scores of the night
were posted. she stood —
clutching an armful of flow-
ers — and waved to a cheer-
ing crowd. relishing her moment of
triumph.

Harding stared stonily from a
private box and applauded politely
at the end of Kerrigan's program.

Kerrigan’s answer to Harding‘s
promise to “whip her butt" at the
Olympics was a breathtaking two

minutes that erased an almost end-
less parade of grand jury probes.
FBI investigations, confessions
and denials.

It was the first head-to-head
competition between Tonya and
Nancy since the shot heard ‘round
the world: A telescoping baton
cracking across Kerrigan’s knee on
Jan. 6. It drew more attention and
more security than any other event
at the Games, which hosted the
kings of Norway and Sweden at
different times.

Blair, in her farewell af-
ter four Olympics, skated to
a record-breaking fifth gold
medal yesterday to emphat-
ically end the greatest ca-
reer of any American Win-
ter Games athlete and any
woman Olympian
ever.

Undefeated Finland
cruised to an easy 6-1 victo-
ry in the quarterfinals, end-
ing U.S. hopes of their first
hockey medal since 1980's gold.

"It‘s tough to take," said forward
Craig Johnson, summing up the
team‘s mood after one win, two
losses and three ties. “It‘s tough to
look at your buddy next to you, to
look at the sorrow in his face and
know it's in your face, too.

“We wanted to win the gold
medal."

Instead, they win nothing, and
America’s longest stretch ever
without a hockey medal continues.
Finland — which has outscored
opponents 31-5 —- now plays Can-
ada, with the winner playing Sun-
day for the gold medal.

Tomba, with one Lillehammer
race left, failed to win his unprece-
dented third straight Olympic giant
slalom as “La Bomba" bombed
out. The Italian superskier missed
a gate to drop out of the giant sla-
lom, where German Markus Was—
meier surprised with his second
gold in seven days.

With her last speedskating gold,
Blair reached the top of two medal
charts: She’s tops among all Amer-
ican woman Olympians with five
golds, and No. I among all Ameri-
can Winter Games athletes with six
total medals.

No. 3 Cool Cats
set to glide into
SCHA tourney

 

Staff report

 

While the other teams in the
Southern Collegiate Hockey Asso-
ciation's Tournament battle
through the opening rounds, the
UK Cool Cats simply sit and wait.

George Mason University has
been the surprise and demise of the
tournament thus far. After winning
its first round game, George Mason
defeated North Carolina State,
which placed second in the SCHA.

Soon after the win, league offi-
cials found that George Mason had
not paid its team dues. The team
was forced to forfeit its two wins
and withdraw from the tournament,
giving the Wolfpack another shot.

Tonight, Duke plays North Caro-
lina State for a berth in the touma-
ment semifinals, which are held in
Hillsboro, NC.

UK will meet the winner of this
game Saturday at 10:50 pm.

In the toumament’s other brack-
et, Tennessee and Liberty (Va.)
will meet in the semifinals.

The semifinal victors will clash
in the finals on Sunday at 3 pm.
The Cats bring a No. 3 national
ranking and an impressive 18-1-1
record into the tournament.

Regardless of what the Cool Cats
do in the SCHA tourney, they have
qualified for the national club
hockey tournament, which will be
held in Albany. NY.

Astronaut to talk about
experiences in UK speech

 

By Shannon J. Henley
Contributing Writer

 

Janice Voss is one of a handful of people who has
seen the Earth firsthand from outer space.

Today. Voss, a visiting astronaut from NASA, will
discuss her experiences with the space program at 3
pm. in 114 Whitehall Classroom Building.

Voss. who currently is with the Lyndon B. Johnson
Space Center in Houston, is preparing for her second
space flight and logged more than 239 hours on her
first flight.

Her second flight is scheduled for January 1995. and
Voss said her training will begin in April.

Her area of expertise involves the preparation of
payloads.

Sue Scheff, director of Women in Engineering at
UK. said she was looking forward to Voss' speech.

“.Dr Voss is down-to-earth and very eager to meet
with students.“ she said. “I heard her two years ago

Campus to be
site of tonight’s
beauty pageant

 

and was impressed with her ability to inspire stu-
dents."

The 37-year-old astronaut, who has been with
NASA since 1990. earned a doctorate in aeronautics
and astrophysics from the Massachusetts institute of
Technology. in addition, Voss has completed graduate
work in space physics at Rice University.

While working on her doctorate. Voss concentrated
on the guidance and control of spmcraft. Currently,
Voss works in mission development and has a particu-
lar interest in satellites.

Voss‘ first space flight included the recovery of the
European Retrievable Carrier with the shuttle's robotic
arm.

UK’s College of Engineering invited Voss to speak
as part of National Engineering Week.

Voss also will speak at a dinner tonight sponsored
by the Society of Women Engineers. Tomorrow mom-
ing, she will make presentations at Dunbar and Henry
Clay high schools at 9 am. and 10:45 am. respective-

tonsillectomy. And four times safer than childbirth.

And because the decision to have an abortion is never an
easy one, EMW has specially trained staff to discuss
alternatives and offer support and reassurance without

‘Curse of Starving Class’
powerful, intelligent drama

 

 

By Rebecca Farmer
Staff Critic

 

Should you happen to have three
hours of free time. use it to see UK

Theatre’s production of “(‘urse of

the Starving Class."

The Obie-award winning play.
written by Sam Shepard. Is indeed
long. but powerful
performances. cute
sheep and humor
make the produc-
tion well worth
seeing.

“Curse of the
Starving Class" fo-
cuses on the spiri-
tual starvation of
the dysfunctional
Tate family, which
epitomize poor
white trash. Each family member
dreams of escaping the “curse" he
thinks hangs over his life.

Only Wesley. the son. has the
sense of responsibility to attempt to
improve the family situation. The
weight of this responsibility, and
the lack of support front the rest of
the family, cause Wesley to finally
succumb to the family “curse.“

The play teeters between realism
and symbolism. humor and serious
drama. The occasionally tedious di—
alogue switches between everyday
speech and rambling soliloquies
that resemble beat poetry.

The actual plot of the play has
some holes and inconsistencies. but
the symbolism and humor are
strong. The true strength of “(‘urse
of the Starving Class“ lies beneath
its surface.

The play’s set, wonderfully de—
signed by John Holloway and Lisa
Cordonnier, reflects the mixed na.
ture of the play. ’lhe action lakes
place in a realistically cluttered and

run-down farm house kitchen.

Dingy browns and grays and tom
shades and curtains symbolically
reflect the bleak nature and deterio-
ration of the Tate family. The sets
only bright spot is the pristinely
white refrigerator. the focal prop of
the play.

The powerful and intelligent act-
ing in “Curse of the Starving
Class“ compliments the ingenious
set. The chemistry between the ac
tors was electric. and their comic
timing nearly perfect.

The most outstanding perfor-
tnance is that of Nathaniel ()rr as
Wesley. Orr does not simply act
the part of Wesley. he becomes
Wesley. llis engaging performance
is strong both vocally and physical-
ly.

while, Chris Arnold delivers the
play's second strongest perfor-
mance as Ellis, the slimy club own-
er who buys the Tate farm. Amold
is humorously vile and reptilian.
and practically slithers around the
stage.

Mark Allen Smith as the drunken
father. Weston, is convincing in his
physical movements, but at times
had trouble creating the illusion of
intoxication vocally. Smith's comic
timing was strong, however, espe-
cially in the scenes with the sheep
(which hilariously seemed to bleat
on cue).

In contrast Kara (iraham and
Tracy Blackburn. as the mother and
daughter. respectively. delivered
great vocal perfonnances but weak
physical perfomtances. At times
they seemed to be simply standing
