UK student charged with rape at fraternity house

By JOE BRAUN
Staff Writer

Lexington police arrested Kevin
Wayne McPherson, a second-year
UK student, on Friday, charging
him with the Oct. 27 alleged rape of
a 19-year-old female UK sopho-
more.

The incident occurred at 1 am. at
Phi Kappa Psi social fraternity, 447
Columbia Ave., according to police
reports.

McPherson was charged with
first-degree rape.

.. While in the rear of the build-
ing, under the deck, the subject
pushed her down and forced her to
engage in sexual intercourse," ac-
cording to the police report based
on statements from the female.

The alleged rape took place under
a deck behind the fraternity house.

Fratemity President Ted Supulski
said all furniture from the house
had been placed under the deck in
preparation for the fratemity's
haunted house.

McPherson, of 192 Greg Page
Stadium View Apartments, was ar-
raigned in Fayette District Court on
Monday.

“He (McPherson) was arraigned,
and that means he was advised of
the charges against him,“ said As-
sistant Commonwealth’s Attorney
Tamra Gormley.

The case could be sent to the
grand jury after a preliminary hear-
ing on Monday.

“We only need to prove probable
cause that an offense was commit-
ted and that we have reason to be-
lieve that this individual committed
it," Gormley said.

Gormley said first-degree rape

carries a possible sentence of l() to
20 years in jail.

McPherson’s bond was set at
$10,000 and he was released on his
own reconnaissance. He has since
returned to campus.

Although McPherson declined to
comment, Ken Smith, one of his at-
torneys, said his client w1ll plead
not guilty.

“He will be pleading not guilty
every time he goes to court, arid
there will be no guilty plea in this
case," Smith said.

The woman received medical
treatment for trauma at Student
Health Services on the morning of
the reported incident, said Ralph
Derickson, UK spokesman.

However, Smith said the only ad-
ditional physical injury reported
was a small bruise on the woman’s
leg. He said she “has indicated the

doctor is wrong in what she told
him — she apparently is taking is-
.sue as to whether the the doctor
wrote down what she said,“ he said.

Supulski released a statement
yesterday saying, “his (McPhen
son‘s) membership with the lrater-
nity at this time has been suspended
until the investigation is final. lnno-
cence or guilt is not involved tn
why he was suspended _ it's just
the proper thing to do." he said.

Phi Kappa Psi fratemity, both its
national organization and the UK
chapter, Supulski said, ts opposed
to rape or sexual abuse iii any man-
ner and is cooperating with police
in the investigation.

Supulski said he was not present
at the fratemtty house when the al-
leged incident took place. but he
was ntade aware of the charges a

Smith acquitted of

By LINDA DEUTSCH
Associated Press

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. ——
William Kennedy Smith was ac-
quitted of sexual assault and battery
yesterday in a case that focused na-
tional attention on date rape and tar—
nished the Kennedy legend.

The jury of four women and two
men took about 90 minutes to reject
the allegations of a 30-year-old
woman who said Smith chased her,
toppled her on the lawn of the Ken»
nedy estate and raped her under a
full moon.

Smith wished a Merry Christmas
to cheering supporters outside the
courthouse.

“1 want to thank the jurors.“ he
said. “My life was in their hands
and I‘m so grateful."

He also thanked the judge and
said. “I have an enormous debt to
the system and to God anti I have a
terrific faith in both of them."

Supporters of the woman con-
detnncd the cheering and the ver-
djct.

“This has hurt all rape
and you're going to have a lot of
victims that won't come forward
because of what has been done to
this woman,“ Robin Miller. who

\‘lClllllS.

heads a group called i‘limlllt‘fs En-
raged Against Rape. said outside
the courthouse.

“I feel terrible that they‘re ap-
plauding him,“ Miller said. “It‘s be-
cause he‘s a Kennedy. This hurts all
rape victims."

Abbott. the victims' rights advo—
cate who was the crisis counselor
on call March 30, came by the
courthouse later.

"I talked to her the lust day and I
talked to her as recently as last
night," Abbott said. “I believed her
then and I believe her today."

Smith, 31, had taken the stand on
his own defense, adamantly deny-
ing the woman's charges. He paint-
ed her as a sexually aggressive
woman who initiated sex after they
met at a trendy night club during
Easter weekend.

Smith grinned as the verdict was
read and embraced his lawyer. Roy
Black. Across the courtroom in the
jury bot, foretrtan Thomas Stearns
Jr.. 62. began to weep. Another jur-
or, Lea Hallcr. 37. had tears stream-
ing down her face.

There was no other reaction be
cause the judge warned the spccta
tors they would face punishment

Smith's mother and other Kenne-
dy family members were tn the

courtroom when the verdict was
read. Among those absent was his
uncle, Sen. Edward Kennedy.
whose name had been sullied by his
link to the case. Witnesses testified
that he roused his son Patrick and
Smith in the wee hours to go drink-
ing at the nightclub where Smith
said he was “picked up“ by the
woman.

After the verdict. (‘trcuit Judge
. laiy Lupo thanked the jurors, say—
ing "You have done justice regard
less of your verdict."

She noted the trial had been tele-
vised live across the country.

“This has not been a movie made
lor TV." she told them. “The TV
has come into the courtroom. The
only difference between this case
and any other is that more people
want to see this case."

She told jurors it was tip to thctit
whether they wanted to talk public-
ly about their decision, bitt “I need
to tell you that you are the story
now."

Prosecutor Moira lusch left with-
out comment.

As he left the courtroom, lilack
said he felt “terrific. just terrific."

“l feel great, just great'" said
Smith‘s mother. Jean Kennedy

Two groups sponsor contest to name new homeless center

By CHRISTINE BOTTORFF
Staff Writer

Two organizations dedicated to
aiding Lexington's homeless have
Joined forces, but before they move
into a new joint facility. they need
to find a new name

“Our gesture in order to embrace

the community is to ask the com-
munity to name us," said Debra
Hensley, 3rd District councilwoman
and head of the board for the Corn-
IIIUIIII) Kitchen/Horizon Center.
Inc.

In the past, the Community
Kitchen provided free meals for the
homeless while the Horizon (‘enter

provided free shelter. These servic-
es should be available under one
roof by 1993.

The group is holding a contest to
pick a new name for the homeless
center. Anyone can submit a name,
and whoever submits the winning
name will receive a three-night trip

to the Bahamas, courtesy of Omega
Travel and Princess Vacations.

Hensley said local high schools
are being asked to get involved, as
well as local colleges.

The Bahama trip must be used
before April 30, 1992, but this still

leaves time for students to use them
for spring break, Hensley said.

The deadline to enter a name is
Dec. 16. and the winner will be an-
nounced on Dec. 19. Entries should
be submitted to: Community Kitch-
en/Horizon Center, Inc., PO. Box
1725, Lexington, Ky., 40592.

' Groundbreaking for the new
homeless facility is scheduled to oc-
cur May l. 1992. The center will be
located on London Avenue. and
substantial completion should be
finished by next December.

For more information about the
contest, call 254-4527.

WASHINGTON --—— President
Bush reacted cautiously yester-
day to the turmoil in the Soviet
Union amid growing adininistra.
tion concern dial the former
communist superpower might be
plunging toward civil war.

“We are watching it very
closely." Bush said, adding that
the thaw States would support
refomiers “wherever they are“ in
the Soviet Union. He said he
couldn't predict how the rapidly
developing events would be re‘
solved.

“They are going to sort these
matters out themselves.‘~ Bush
said.

Secretary of State James Bak-
er will fly to Moscow this week-
end for meetings with Soviet
President Mikhail Gorbachev its
well as Russian President Boris
Yeltsin and other republic lead
ers.

The president said LIS. offi-
cials were watching “extraordi-
narily closely" who was in con-
trol of the vast Soviet nuclear
arsenal and that he had I'CCCht‘d
“pretty good" assurances. “I see
no reason to alarm the American
people." he said.

One day earlier, CIA Director
Robert Gates had used words
that might well be considered
alarmrng, telling Congress the
Soviet Union faced “the collapse
of central authority. potentially
large—scale civil disorder and un-
ravcling of social discipline
while it still possesses some

 

Bush watches as Soviet crumbles

30,000 nuclear weapons, the most
powerful of which continue to be
aimed at us."

The CIA director said the Sm iet
economy is in free-fall and that
shortages of food and fuel, the dis-
integration of the armed forces and
ethnic strife “will combine this w lIl-
ter to produce the most significant
eivil disorder" since the 1917 revo—
lution.

The Bush administration has tried
to avoid any appearance of taking
sides in the power struggle between
Gorbachev and republic leaders.

Yeltsin and the presidents of
Ukraine and Byelorussia announced
on Sunday the formation of a corn—
monwealth to replace the Soviet
central government. Gorbachev de—
nounced the plan as illegal.

Yeltsin said yesterday that the re-
publics of Armenia and Kirgi/ia
had agreed to jOll’l the common»
wealth. He said three other repub—
lics w Kazakhstan. Tadzhikistan
and Turkmenia — would decide to-
day whether to follow suit.

Gorbachev and Yeltsin have re-
centiy met with military leaders.
After Yeltsin‘s session with the mil-
itary brass, a defense ministry offi-
cial told Tass that the Russian presi-
dent had offered assurances that he
favors unified control over the su-
perpower‘s 2.7 million soldiers and
37,000 nuclear warheads.

James Schlesinger. a former dc-
fense secretary anti CIA director.
said. “It's been plain since the coup
that Yeltsin has the great power
within the old Soviet Union and if
he decides he‘s commander in
chief. I think that he will Win."
And, said Schlesinger. victory for

Yeltsin in that area “legitimizes
the breaking up of the Soviet
military."

Former Secretary of State
Henry Kissinger said a breakup
of centrali/ed authority in the
Soviet Union was a good idea.

In an interview on Fox Tclevi~
sion, Kissinger cautioned against
"nostalgia at the 'good old days’
when one man controlled 30,000
nuclear weapons, most of which
were aimed at us."

Kissinger said the common-
wealth plan put forth by Yeltsin
and his allies was “very much in
the American interest." He said
US. critics should “get off their
backs."

Schlesinger, meanwhile. de-
fended the adrninistration’s de-
sire to help Gorbachev survive
as head of the central govcm-
inent.

“We had every, incentive,
starting with nuclear'weapons, to
hold the center together." Schle~
singer said. But he also criticized
the administration for failing to
provide technical and material
assistance quickly enough.

“We haven't offered them
very much of either," he said.
“Time is beginning to run out for
us with regard to the Soviet Un-
ion and Eastern Europe."

Andrei Kolosovsky is the new
Russian representative in Wash-
ington.

Asked about Gates’ prediction
of Civil disorder this winter, he
said. “I would not be so apoca-
lyptic and pessimistic in my pre-
diction,"

Seuss

Continued from page 1

scl) with a new appreciation after
one of Henderson‘s demonstrations.

The professor uses “Oh, Say Can
You Say?” and “Fox in Sox" as
speech exercises to sharpen the use
and control of points of articulation
such as teeth, tongue and lips.

His students not only have to
speak Seuss. but they are required
to memorize the rhymes.

Henderson’s quick wit and slap-
stick humor guide the students
through the worst of words, and
they rise to the challenge, learning
to articulate.

An Eastern Kentucky twang turns
“forget" into “fergit,” Henderson
said, doing a hoedown shuffle
across the room.

Likewise, an Ohio nasal sound
creeping into spoken English can
make his eyes bulge, and students
get the message that what slipped
out of their mouths is incorrect.

“It’s made me aware of how I
speak and how others speak as
well." said Sherry Hamil, an Eng-
lish junior.

At the beginning of each semes-
ter, Henderson explains to students
that his goal is to teach them to
speak English correctly, and his
constructive criticism of their lan—
guage is just that - it’s of their lan-
guage and is not a criticism of their
hometown or background.

“It has to be good—natured," Hen-
dcrson said. “If it's mean-spirited,
you’re close to where people live. If
you attack the way they talk. it’s
like getting close to their soul."

His critique methods are light-
hearted and perhaps unonhodox,
but they are effective. Henderson,
who has taught voice, speech and
acting at UK for seven years, is a
UK graduate. He earned his mas-
ter’s degree in fine arts at Trinity
University.

A student gave Henderson a
handout on “Fox in Sox" five years

ago, and he has used it in voice pro-
duction ever since. Henderson’s
personal favorite is “Happy Birth-
day to You."

Henderson is not alone in his
love of Seuss. Dr. Seuss books have
been a classic for more than 50
years. Before Seuss, the most excit-
ing sentence in a reading primer
was “Look, Spot. See Dick run."

Then the magical silliness of Dr.
Seuss emerged in “And to Think I
Saw It on Mulberry Street," his first
book, published in 1937. “Dick,
Jane and Spot” paled as a new era
in children’s books began.

“That is what I am proudest of:
that I had something to do with get-
ting rid of Dick and Jane," Geisel
said in 1982.

Geisel, who died Sept. 24, pub—

as .

lished more than 40 books. His last
was Oh. the Places You'll Go. If

Henderson‘s class sounds like
child’s play, test your ability to
speak “Seuss" on another passage
Henderson uses from Seuss’ “Oh.
Say Can You Say?” — a tongue-
twister book published in 1979.

Holiday season is time to enjoy Christmas TV specials

The holiday season, of course,
means extra time to watch TV.
With carloads of barely recogniza-
ble relatives —~ including your
eighth cousin Herb from Fat Lip,
Ariz. —— hanging around looking for
something to do, why not flip on
the old Zenith and roast by a cozy
fire as you enjoy the following
shows:

-“Bob Hope’s Cross Country
Christmas Show” To give you an
idea of how long Bob‘s been doing
these shows, the first one was held
in Bethlehem. Tune in again and
see normally talented people read
lame sketches off of cue cards. See
Macaulay Culkin‘s 5,0()()th TV ap-
pearance in the last few weeks. See
Bob and Dolores Hope sing “Silver
Bells” as phony snow falls in the
background. A must for the insom-
niac. (Dec. 23)

The saying “You‘ve come a long
way baby" may be the best way to
describe the Grapes of Wrath‘s rise
to popularity in the contemporary
music scene.

The Grapes of Wrath, a Vancou-
ver, Canada-based quartet have
etched out quite a niche for them-
selves with the release of their
fourth album, (not counting an EP)
These Days .

However, this energetic folk-rock
band ~ which consists of Tom
Hooper (bass); his brother, Chris
Hooper (drums); Kevin Kane (vo-
cals, guitar): and Vincent Jones
(keyboards) v was a long way
from Abbey Road when they signed
with their first record label, Nett—
w'erk. in the early 80‘s.

On These Days, the band
achieves a powerfully passionate

-“Rudo|ph the Red Nosed Rein-

and notably harder-rocking record-
ing than their previous album.
These Days features Kane’s
dreamy lead vocals and the abso-
lutely brilliant and tightly interwov—
en harmony vocals, which, especial-
ly on melodic folk ballads like
“Consequence,” are somewhat rem-
iniscent of (gasp!) John Lennon and
Paul McCartney.

This may appear somewhat of a
lofty comparison and maybe it is,
but the obvious influence of the Fab
Four appears in the vocal arrange-
ments.

It should come as no surprise
then that Englishman John Leckie
(XTC, the Stone Roses. the Posies)
engineered the recording at Van-

just as enjoyable today as when it
first aired. You know the story
(Dec. 18).

-“A Charlie Brown Christmas"
Another great “Peanuts" special,
this classic first aired back in 1965.
Maybe it’s the immature kid in me,
but 1 enjoy this show, and the previ-
ous two I‘ve mentioned, as much
today as I did when l was a mere
tot.

Things to watch for in this spe-
cial: Pigpcn’s gripping performance
as the innkeepcr, the funky dance
scene and Lucy’s demand for disin-
fectant after being kissed by
Snoopy (Dec. 20).

-"lt‘.s A Wonderful Life“ I nor-
mally don't like this type of film.
They're too sentimental, too sappy
(see “The Sound of Music") and a
little too comball for me, usually.
This movie is the exception. Funny
and moving at the same time (a rare
feat in moviedom), this movie de~
serves its reputation as one of the

the late ’60s for the likes of Lennon
and George Harrison, took the band
to London to mix the album.

The band spent three weeks mix-
ing at Abbey Road Studios, which
was a pilgrimage of sorts for the
band, who are longtime admirers of
the Beatles.

The group spent an inspirational
evening at the Beatles’ famed Stu-
dio Two, knocking down a few lo-
cal lagers, and striking up a few
Fab Four tunes.

The Beatles' influence is most
felt on “You May be Right," in
which the melody and spotless vo-
cal arrangements bring remem-
brances of “Hey Jude,“

While it is true that cenain influ—
ences of the Beatles are felt. the
Grapes of Wrath are a unique and
separate entity, and in no way rc-

great films of all time.

A recommendation: If they show
it using the “magic” of colorization,
turn your TV to black and white.
Otherwise, you'll see Jimmy Stew-
art's teal suit and Donna Reed's
Chartreuse dress. It's a terrific mo-
vie, and it should prove all the more
moving when you consider the ca-
reer of the man who made it. the
late Frank Capra.

-“Saturday Night Live" One
broadcast will be made up entirely
of clips from Christmas shows dat-
ing back to 1975. Enjoy the sea of
drug jokes from the '70s and the
funnier, more subtle material from
the ’80s and ’90s. See Chevy Chase
fall down a bunch of times. Man,
that's funny. (AUTHOR’S NOTE:
That was sarcasm.) (Dec. 21)

-“Winnie the Pooh and Christ-
mas Too” This is a new special fea-
turing Winnie, Piglet, Eeyore, Kan—
ga, R00 and Tigger, too. Though
not available for preview, if past

gurgitatc the Beatles‘ style.

“You May Be Right" is a slow
burner, emitting the Grapes of
Wrath‘s new tough skin and rough-
er edges. It is like a musical chame-
leon. It begins with crunching, dis—
torted power chords and a searing
slide guitar, changing what appears
to be a hard-rocking ballad, and
rnystically transforms it into a
strange trip of psychedelia.

The Grapes of Wrath have strong
ties to literature, although Chris
Hooper, a film buff. caught the
band’s name in a movie book and
not on the cover of Steinbeck‘s
classic novel, The Grapes nfll’rarh

The band began as a mirror im-
age of the hard time, western bound
”Okies" that John Steinbeck so viv-
idly detailed in his 193‘) book.

-“A Wish For Wings That

TV special ever to feature charac-
ters from Berke Breathcd’s “Bloom
County" and “Outland” comic
strips. This special is the one Yule-
tide extravaganza I am most look-

the high caliber of humor from the
two strips.

The script was written by
Breathed, and the animation was
produced by Steven Spielberg‘s
