shares stories

with her ‘kids’

 

By Cathy Jones
Contributing Writer

 

Jeri Childs never had any biologi-
cal children. but she does have “a
whole schoolful of kids“ to care for
each day.

Childs. who tums 58 this month.
can be seen driving the Blue Route
bus on campus five days a week.
Her short graying hair is usually
topped with one of the more than
500 hats she has collected over the
years.

She thinks of her student passen-
gers as friends first and passengers
second. In fact. she goes a step fur-
ther. calling them her “kids."

“They're all my kids, my chil-
dren. I don‘t care if they are young
or old or black or while." she said.

(‘hilds is especially protective of
the disabled students. They ride her
bus partly because of the wheel-
chair lifts. but more because of her.

around her bus schedule.

“This press is very much like a

“We‘re very much a team.“

“Fast-paced" is how Strickland

IRANKFORT. Ky. -- A Wash-

pitfalls of federal law to Ken.
tucky‘s health care reform efforts
also pointed out a gaping loophole
in Gov. Brereton Jones' latest plan.

In his latest version. Jones would
force individuals to buy their own
health care insurance.

Employers would have to pay a
payroll tax of 3 percent to 4 per-
cent. but would be exempt if they
offered health coverage to their
workers.

(‘harles Miller. a partner in the
firm of (‘ovington and Burling. said
federal law would prohibit the state
from imposing any rules on those
employer health care plans.

“What you can‘t do is tell the em-
ployer what he must buy." Miller
said.

“A state cannot tell the employer

Weak plot
is downfall

 

 

By Greg Labor
Staff Critic

 

A down-and-out couple goes to
Vegas and loses all of its money.
Then, a professional gambler offers
to bail them out if he can spend the
night with the young man‘s wife.
Sound familiar?

Last year, it was called "Honey-
moon in Vegas." and it was a laugh
not. Now, it's the premise of “In-
decent Proposal." and we're sup—
posed to take it seriously.

The makers of this film are up
against steep odds. It's tough to
evoke emotional responses from a
situation someone else made us
laugh at. Director Adrian Lyne tries
hard — perhaps a little too hard.

Based on Jack Englehard‘s novel
of the same name, “Indecent Propo-
sal" centers on the relationship be
tween two high school sweethearts.
David. played by “Cheers“ regular
Woody Harrelson. is an aspiring
and impassioned architect. Demi
Moore (“A Few Good Men") plays

his wife, Diana. a real-estate agent.
Diana suggests they take out a
couple in seemingly innocent ways.

house and make a name for him-
self. Unfortunately. the recession
wipes out their dreams. and they
are forced to scrounge for funds or
abandon the project. David comes
up with the bright idea of flying to
Vegas with their last 55,000.

When luck fails them. they are
approached by John Gage. a profes-
sional gambler who wants to bor-
row Diana for a few rolls of the die.
She wins him big money. and he in-
sists on repaying them at a party. It
is here that he offers David 51 mil-

but his ulterior motives are obvious
to the audience. We can feel our-
selves slowly sucked into his trap as
the couple accepts gift after gift.

But once David and Diana accept
the garnbler's offer, there is no
where left to go. All of Lyne’s clev-

life into this soulless script.

ble. even as this very flawed man.

The problem with the movie is
one common to Lyne‘s work. Like
many of his contemporaries, Lyne
is more comfortable with visual
gimrnickry than human frailties.

The last half of the film sputters
out of control as Gage pursues and
torments the couple like Glenn
Close in “Fatal Attraction.“ When
David cracks. we are expected to
believe that his wife overcomes her
hatred of the gambler and falls for
him instead. The transition is so un-
likely, it seems almost comic.

indecent proposal of all.

You're $50,000 in debt, and you
have only $5,000. What do you do?

Go to Las Vegas, of course.

Well, that's what David and Diao
na Murphy do. David (Woody liar-
relson) has just borrowed that mon—
ey from his father in a last-ditch
effort to come out ahead. His house
(his dream) is on the line, and there
seems to be few options for them.

Believe it or not. though, they
turn that $5,000 into $25,000 in a
few short hours. They go back to
their hotel, tumble romantically in
their winnings, and promptly lose it
all the next day.

Where is the solution?

It appears in the form of million-
aire John Gage (Robert Redford).
He takes quite a liking to Diana
(Demi Moore) when he notices her
stealing complimentary chocolates
from an expensive clothier. He later
asks David if he can “borrow" her
for good luck on a million-dollar
bet.

She wins it for him, and he is en-
tranced.

()ver a casual game of pool. the
three of them discuss whether peo-
ple can be bought. Diana says no.
and to prove a point, Gage offers
David (remember this) $1 million
for one night with Diana.

They say no. but can't sleep that
night. They need the money and de-
cide to go through with it because it
would just be her body. not her
mind or her heart.

A contract is drawn up by the
couple‘s lawyer and friend Jeremy
(Oliver Platt who appeared in “Flat-
liners"). complete with all kinds of
clauses including payment in the
event of impotence or death. Gecz,
he‘s not that old.

The night comes and goes, and
they are given the million. 'Ihey
agree never to speak of it again and
leave Vegas with the intention that
Gage be left behind with it.

But David finds Gage's phone
number in Diana‘s purse. Was Dia-
na really just talking on the phone
with her mother. or is she having an
affair with Gage? And just what is
David doing in Diana‘s purse? Sus-
picions arise and they both discov-
er that they can’t forget about it.

Anything else would reveal some

of the pleasanter charms of the mo-
vie. “Indecent Proposal" has no
shortage of little reasons to like it.

However, they are not enough to
completely erase one gigantic flaw:
unoriginality. There isn‘t a whole
lot here that hasn‘t been done be-
fore. The recent comedy “Honey-
moon in Vegas“ fits the same mold,
and “Pretty Woman" bears a resem-
blance as well.

This is no romantic comedy.
though. “Indecent Proposal" is dark
and. in many ways, sinister.

Money as an object and as a con-
cept, is paid enormous respect and
is held in higher regard than free-
dom, fidelity and human life. This
attitude is reflected on all fronts,
and is no more evident than in
Gage‘s treatment of David as an
owner of a woman rather than as a
husband.

This isn’t the film's point of
view, though: director Adrian Lyne
plays devil’s advocate on a lot of
these issues, and his handling of the
situations shows more class than
crass.

Speaking of class, did I mention
that Robert Redford’s in it? As the
plutocratically romantic John Gage,
he commands style and careful re-
serve. lle measures his character's
relationships precisely. and they end
up intriguing and defined. particu-
larly with his chauffeur Mr. Shake!—
ford (“l’acesm Seymour Cassel).
'llic role certainly is no stretch. but
he makes the most of it.

    

lllllllllllllllllllllllll

 

   

 

 

Surprisingly good is Delhi
Moore. Since her career tumaround
in "Ghost." she has been on a
steady road of good acting. but
graduates here to very good. She
was pretty good in last year's “A
Few Good Men." Her emotions
seem real. and her pronounced
transfonnation throughout the film
is believable and bears real weight.

llzurelson. though, will find it
hard not to be Woody from
“Cheers“ in just about anything he's
in. “Proposal" is no exception.

He seems to have effectively re-
moved the Woody from him, but
has replaced it with little, leaving
his character a bit dry next to the
juicy performances of Redford and
Moore.

Mashbum uses ineligibility to his benefit

 

By Ty Halpln
Sports Editor

When Jamal Mashbum walked
off the court after UK's loss to
Michigan at the Louisiana Super-
dome in New Orleans, he could
have looked into the cameras and
said, “I'm going to Disneyland."

Mashbum didn't get a paycheck
signed by Michael Eisner, but Sat-
urday he did sign autographs at The
Cats' Pause fu’ $5 a pop. With the
estimated four to five hundred
Wildcat fans who attended the ses-
sion. someone stood to make a pret-
ty penny.

Oscar Combs, publisher of The
Cats' Pause, contacted Mashbum to
set up the event and indicated yes-
terday that Mashbum cleaned up on
the deal.

“He made a nice piece of
change," Combs said. “We paid
him to come. Basically, all the
money went to him.“

Although the action shifts from
the hardwood floor to grassy Shive-

season at UK, Mashbum opens
himself up to the NBA draft tn June
and also to any
other opportuni-
ties that may
come about.
such as auto-
graph signings.

The question
of whether
Mashbum was
able to receive - k,
the money was
not a real con-MASHBURN
cem, Combs said.

“He's no longer an amateur," he
said. “Once he played his last game,
he became ineligible. We made no
contact with him until after his last
game."

John Bostick, UK’s director for
compliance, said that Mashbum is
not in any trouble with the NCAA.

“The big thing is that what he did
would affect his (future) eligibili-
ty," he said. “He didn‘t plan to use
his extra year of eligibility, so
there‘s no problem.“

David Berst, assistant executive

 

 

 

 

director of the NCAA, agreed with
Bostick's assessment of the situa-
tion.

“if he 5 going professional, eligi-
bility wouldn' t be a concem of his"
he said “He can use his athletic tal-
ents for his own profit.“

Both Berst and Bostick said no
NCAA violation has occurred.

Berst said there is no written
agreement Mashbum has to sign to
break his ties from UK.

The situation is similar with for-
mer Wildcat player Richie Farmer,
who has appeared in numerous
commercials.

When and if Mashbum selects an
agent, this also will deem him ineli-
gible from NCAA athletics, Bostick
said.

“He announced a long time ago
that he would go pro," he said. “If
he has contacted an agent, he be-
comes ineligible. If he's not eligi-
ble, then he can sign autographs."

Chris Cameron, assistant athletics
director at UK, said the UK junior
will find an agent soon.

“He almost has decided," he said.

“He‘s working on that."

Cameron said Mashbum should
have an agent within the next few
days.

By signing autographs, the chanc-
es for Mashbum to return for his
senior season at UK became almost
null and void.

This ineligibility probably
doesn‘t mean anything to Mash-
burn, but it may be of interest to
someone like Michigan's Chris
Webber who hasn‘t announced
whether he‘s going to turn pro or
stay in school.

Webber and two of his Wolverine
teammates garnered media scrutiny
but no NCAA sanctions after re-

“Then we put it together in the

Madison hopes a six-game home-

Cooperation now means
students have better shot

at being heard next year

 

EDITORIAL

 

One of the most important uansitions facing the Student Government
Association relates to students‘ voices being heard in the halls of state

government.

In past years, outgoing presidents have done everything from sabotage
to nothing to damaging their successors‘ voices. There is hope this year
that one of those unfortunate situations will not be repeated.

Outgoing President Pete November and President-elect Lance Dowdy
should resolve, for UK students‘ benefit not to let one of those scenarios

happen.

One way the two presidents can work together is to secure the selection
of Dowdy as chairman of the Board of Student Body Presidents, which
consists of the student presidents of the eight state-supported universities.

Because of Lexington‘s proximity to Frankfort. it's important in a legis-
lative year that the board chairman be able to reach the capital quickly.
The fact that UK is the state‘s flagship institution cannot be ignored.

This position had gone to UK presidents before. but the last two times
any hope was scuttled by the lame duck.

Another important decision the board makes is nominating individuals
for the student seat on the state Council on Higher Education. The board
will send three names to Gov. Brereton Jones. who will make the appoint-

ment.

This year's representative. Clay Edwards. did a yeoman's job in his un-
successful attempt to avert a tuition increase — a much better job than any

of the student presidents did.

For that reason and the fact that. as a UK graduate and a University of
Louisville law student. Edwards represents two of the biggest state institu-
tions. he should be reappointed. Rather than nominating someone else,
Dowdy should nominate or support Fdwards.

With Edwards back on the CHE and with Dowdy as chairman of the
board. UK students will be placed in a better position to have their voices
heard in Frankfort Teamwork is the key.

Dead week —— N0 examina-
tions or quizzes, except for
"make-up" examinations or la-
boratory practicals, shall be giv-

There will be regularly sched-
uled classes during dead week.
Students are responsible for any

give a regular examination dur-
ing this period need to rearrange
their schedules and offer the ex-
amination before dead week.

questions.

tion shall be given before Mon-

uled on any one date (not within

number rescheduled at another
time during the final examination
period.

In case the highest number is
shared by more than one course,
the one whose departmental pre-
fix is first alphabetically will be
rescheduled.

The option to reschedule must
be exercised in writing to the ap-
propriate instructor two weeks
prior to the last class meeting.

LETTER

Braun too big

for editor’s chair
To the editor:

Hey, Joe Braun!

Your column on March 25. “Clin-
ton destroying the United States,“
was arrogant, ludicrous and embar-
rassing. You compared Janet Reno
and those proposing legislation that
would protect the staff and patrons
of abortion clinics to the Nazis: “Si-
lencing the opposition. Remember
the German Gestapo?"

The conservative terrorism of
abortion activists seems more in
line with Nazi tactics than laws to
protect the rights of women. You
wrote: “If it becomes illegal to
block or picket the entrance to fed-

and no brains lately).

Maybe we‘ve got you wrong.
Maybe you're putting on that
poundage purposefully so you can
fill Rush Limbaugh's shoes. (Both
you and your reactionary idol get a
lot of mileage out of absurd Nazi
parallels, e.g. Limbaugh’s femi-
Nazi gibberish.)

Instead of wolfing down Twink-
ies, you might go further if you
worked on your prose. Sentences
like “Assuming Aspin can stay
alive long enough (because of his
ailing heart). the wording will be in-
teresting to see" don‘t
