More than 100 UK financial aid
students received a second exten-
sion last week to pay fall tuition,
said Bob Halsey, interim director of
the Office of Student Financial Aid.

The financial aid office granted
the extensions to 114 students who
were approved for a Stafford Loan
but are still having their applications

Second extension given to aid reci

processed.

Of the 672 students who received
Oct. 10 extensions, 463 made pay-
ments by the deadline. The other 95
students were dropped from their
classes.

The financial aid office gave out
Oct. 10 extensions at the time of the
original fee payment deadline on
Sept. 5, Halsey said.

But he was unable to determine
how many students who received

additional extensions may have
been affected by the current budget
negotiations in Congress.

Some banks and the Kentucky
Higher Education Assistance Au-
thority last week suspended writing
checks and processing financial aid
applications until Oct. 8, the date by
which Congress had to decide on a
course of action for resolving the
federal budget.

The suspension came the same

week that UK had set a payment
deadline for students who received
extensions.

The five percent origination fee
charged to students for processing
their financial aid applications
could have been raised to 5.5 per-
cent if the Gramm-Rudman-
Hollings Budget Balancing Law
had been enacted.

The law would bring into effect
automatic spending cuts across the

Gorbachev awarded Nobel Peace Prize

By DOUG MELLGREN
Assocuated Press

OSLO. Norway ------ Soviet Presi-
dent Mikhail S. Gorbachev won the
1990 Nobel Peace Prize yesterday
for easing international tensions, but
claimed it as an endorsement of
wrenching changes he has tnadc at
home.

The Norwegian Nobel Commit-
tee said the 59-year-old Soviet lead-
er displayed a “leading role in the
peace process which today charac-
terizes important parts of the inter-
national community."

”Words fail one at such mo«
ments. l ain moved.“ Gorbachev
said in a television interview.

“I perceive this action of the most
authoritative organization of the glo-
bal community first of all not in per-
sonal terms, but as recognition of
the significance of the immense
cause of perestroika for the destiny
of the entire world."

Gorbachev has been criticized at
home because some of his social

and economic reforms, called peres«
troika. have led to bloody ethnic ri-
oting. food shortages. and demands
by most Soviet republics for indev
pcndencc.

“We know that there are great
problems (in the Soviet Union), but
that is not what he got his prize for,“
said Gidske Anderson, leader of the
five-person Nobel Committee.

“The big thing that is happening
It] the world is the reconciliation of
the superpowers."

“If you will read the text you will
see we are talking mainly about in‘
temational policy," she said.

The committee's citation said the
“greater openness (Gorbachev) has
brought about in Soviet socnety has
also helped promote international
trust."

The committee said Gorbachev
had made many contributions to the
“dramatic changes" in East-West re—
lationships since he came to power
in 1985:

“Confrontation has been replaced
by negotiations. Old European na-

tion states have regained freedom.
The arms race is slowing down and
we see a definite tutd active process
in the direction of arms control and
disarmament."

Gorbachev told a Norwegian tel-
evision interViewer his reforms were
popular outside the Sowet Union be-
cause ”the world was ripe for
change.

“It had grown tired of the Cold
War. the arms race, the hardships re-
sulting froin an overload of current
problems facing the world commu-
nity." he said.

In the past five years, the Soviet
Union has agreed to reduce nuclear
and conventional armed forces,
helped settle regional conflicts in
Africa, Asia and Latin America, and
withdrawn its forces from Afghani—
Slim.

Many world leaders praised the
award. btit several said they ftoped it
would lead to even more freedom in
the Soviet Union.

“If this prize contributes to the
peaceful and quiet transition of the

Sowct l'nton to a society of equal
nations and cttt/ens. we welcome it
warmly." said Vaclav Havel. .i for
mer dissident who became C/echo-
slovakia‘s president after the Sowet
Union eased its grip on the East
bloc.

Former President Reagan said
Gorbachev is “sincere in his effort
to make the world safer" and "is
dedicated to doing what ntust be
done for the good of his people.“

President Bush called Gorbachev
“a courageous force for peaceful
change in the world.“

British Prime Minister Margaret
Thatcher called the choice “ten‘if—
tc."And French President Francom
Mitterrand said Gorbachev was “the
decisive factor in the casing of ten-
sions tn the world."

Some Soviet cut/ens were less
enthu5iastic about the honor for
Gorbachev.

“I don't know tnuch about poli-
tics. but what I see in the stores, I
hold the government responsible
for." said Lyova Likacheva, a 35-

year-old Moscow factory worker.
“And what I in the stores is

With warm expectation I attend-
ed the Peal Gallery Series featuring
George Ella Lyon and Steve Lyon
last Friday. I had never seen them
perform as a husband and wife team
before but after they finished, I de—
cided to see them together again.

Steve Lyon started the session at
the piano and opened with a song
about one of his wife‘s (George
Ella Lyon) old neighbors. The song
moved through the life of the wom-
an; her presence slowly began to
grow as he sang about her life after
the death of her husband: “She
hears the train whistle, feels the
earth shake where she stands."

Next George Ella Lyon read a
poem called “Cousin Ella Goes to
Town," based upon a story told by
the same woman to Ella’s mother
under the condition that it not be

told to anyone else. George Ella

couldn't keep the secret any better
than her mother, thank goodness.

These two opening pieces set the
tone for the rest — engaging the
ideas of home, our roots. place and
our struggle to understand their
meaning anti significance. A pat-
tern was followed: Steve Lyon sang
and afterwards George Ella Lyon
read.

Steve Lyon played several pieces
from his “science-fiction, country-
westem opera," which took the idea
of home into space, playing off of a
genre of country/folk songs which
laud the home. The lyrics are by
the song‘s Martian space-man nar-
rator who is longing for his red
planet. He says: “I don't get

steamed up over Venus" or want
“the green hills of Earth."

Following this gesture, George
Ella Lyon read a few pieces which
addressed some of the problems our
homes give us. She read from a se-
ries of poems about a character
called Mean Poem who would
come with advice concerning the
difficulties of running a home and
being an artist. The series of poems
present a final solution: “give up,
give in, give over to a love of
words.”

Later George Ella Lyon read a
chapter from her novel in progress,
“Little Splinter Creek." Here, a 17-
year-old girl living in the mountains
can’t find support for her desire to

The final song Steve Lyon played

The fog has cleared off the Me-
morial Coliseum floor, and now the
fun starts for UK basketball coach
Rick Pitino.

“The thing that has been on my
mind every second is recruiting,"
Pitino said. “It's such an important
pan of the game. Now that it's over
we get down to the fun pan the actu-
al teaching aspect.”

Part of the fun for Pitino will be
to figure out who the starters will be
when they face Pennsylvania Uni-
versity Nov. 24.

Although the center and power
forward positions are set, competi-
tion for shooting—guard and small
forward positions is high.

Although junior Sean Woods,
who started most of last season, is
expected to retain his first—string
spot, he should get some tough com-
petition from fellow junior Richie
Farmer.

Pitino said Woods was one of the
few players who genuinely im-
pressed him in Sunday night‘s Mid-
night Madness.

“He’s in great shape," Pitino said.
“He’s really dedicated himself. He
should score six to eight points on
steals alone.”

Rijo will

CINCINNATI — In a way, Jose
Rijo made a big contribution to the
pennant parade of the Oakland A's.

Oakland general manager Sandy
Alderson, looking for some left-
handed pop, traded Rijo and pitcher
Tim Birtsas to Cincinnati for Dave
Parker before the 1988 season. Park-
er‘s power and presence helped the
A’s win two American League pen-
nants and a World Series title before
he signed with Milwaukee.

Rijo gets his chance to see the A's
in the World Series up close tonight
at Riverfront Stadium where he is
scheduled to start Game 1 against
Dave Stewart.

It’s Rijo’s chance to prove the A's
and manager Tony La Russa were
wrong to give up on him. He thinks
he knows when it happened, too.

PITINO

The real challenge for Pitino will
be determining the two-guard spot.

Currently battling for the position
will be junior John Pelphrey, sopho-
more walk—on Junior Braddy, fresh-
man Henry Thomas and sophomore
walk-on Todd Bearup.

The position, Pitino said. will en-
tail more than just shooting the long
jumpers.

“It’s not just shooting, the two-
guard spot has to be able to relieve
pressure,” Pitino said. “YOU have to
be able to defend against a quick
guard.”

Pelphrey also will vie for the
small forward position, where he
started last season.

This season. however, Pelphrey
will be competing with freshman
powerhouse Jamal Mashburn, who
was New York‘s Mr. Basketball his
senior season in high school.

Although promoting competition
for starting positions, which he
says is a prime motivating force,
Pitino said that with the added
depth this season, starting is not a
priority.

“It's good for one's ego -— to
have your name introduced in
Rupp Arena. People should strive
to be a starter certainly. But it real-
ly doesn’t make a difference in our
style of play. Because at the end of
the game, if you look at the min-
utes, you’ll realize that everyone
was a big factor.“

The Cats’ biggest strength this
season is at the power forward po-
sition. Starting will be senior team
leader Reggie Hanson, who started
at center last season.

Backing up Hanson is junior De-
ron Feldhaus — who was last
year’s starter at the position.

“Deron and Pelphrey are always
going to be integral parts wheth-
er we win or lose a game. They
don't beat you and when it comes
down to the wire, they are going to
make the winning play," Pitino
said.

Freshman Gimel Martinez
shouldn’t have much competition
at the center position. He is the
team's only true center.

“He‘s been extremely well

try to prove worth

“I remember being called up from
the minor leagues and pitching
against Kansas City,” Rijo said. “I
got beat 4-0. Two of the hits scored
all four runs. Both were by George
Brett. The signs came from the
bench. One was for a change-up, one
a curvebail, and I hadn't even devel-
oped confidence in those pitches yet.

“The next day, I was carrying the
bucket of batting practice baseballs
out behind the mound and I was
smiling like always. Tony saw me
and said, Why are you smiling?
Didn’t you read the paper? Didn’t
you see the L next to your name?‘ "

Rijo still likes to smile — and talk.
It got him in trouble again during the
National League playoffs.

After the Reds took a 3-1 series
lead against the Pirates, Rijo pro-
claimed the playoffs over. His team-
mates told Rijo to chill out.

Does UK need
a queen for its
homecoming?

For the second consecutive year. the annual selection of
Homecoming Queen has caused problems.

This week. the Student Activities Board plans to hold a meet-
ing to evaluate its policy governing Homecoming Queen elec—
tions. SAB has two options if it wants to take care of this head—
ache: allow future candidates to campaign or do away with the

title.

Send-finalist Melissa Renee Monroe was disqualified from
the finalist competition because her sponsor, Sigma Chi social
fraternity. placed a personal advertisement in the Kentucky

Kernel.

Homecoming candidates are prohibited from campaigning
for student popularity. SAB includes posters. advertisements,
personal memos, editorials or “any other type of publicity” in
its definition of publicity. The organization sponsoring each
candidate is responsible for notifying its members of the rules.

in other words. Homecoming Queen candidates may not try
to appeal to a broad base of students except through word of

mouth.

SAB prohibits campaigning for Homecoming Queen because
it doesn‘t want the process to be turned into a popularity con-
test. If candidates are allowed to campaign, proponents of the
rule argue. the Homecoming Queen election will be corrupted
by big money. as businesses and organizations will pour thou-
sands of dollars into getting their candidates crowned.

While SAB’s intentions of keeping the election under control
are to be complimented, its rules are neither practical nor fair to
relatively unknown candidates. The current system gives an

unfair advantage to well-known
tions.

candidates with good connec-

lf SAB wishes to make the process truly democratic and open
to all students. it must allow all candidates the opportunity to
publicize their names throughout the campus community. To
avoid the introduction of big bucks and corruption into the pro—
cess. spending limits should be set by providing SAB-financed

funding.

To make the process even tnore democratic. SAB should
sponsor debates between Homecoming Queen candidates m
the campus cart learn what they stand for arid how they would

react in the event of a campus emergency.

Sound kind of silly‘.’ It should.

In fact. the notion of having a Homecoming Queen is rather
silly. When men were men and women were women. and the
campus population was for the most pan homogeneous. having
a Homecoming Queen was not such a bad idea.

But UK is different from the university that served the state
25 years ago. So why not celebrate its diversity during Home-
coming week as opposed to rehearsing an antiquated process
that has little significance to the campus“?

Choose a major that offers a wide variety

Dear Counselor: I need to decide
on a tiiajor, but I'm stuck. I‘ve never
really made a major decision on my
own. l hate to admit it. but l‘m not
sure I know how to make a good dc-
crsron. Can you give me some help
with this? Barry. undecided fresh-
man.

Dear Barry: First, I admire your
candor. However, being inexperi—
cnccd at making dccisrons doesn‘t
mean that you can‘t make an effec-
tive decision.

There is a process that allows you
to make a “considered" choice.
which reduces the probability of
picking art “unwise" alternative. So
let‘s talk about how to get started in
this process.

Being undecided is not bad. The
