The Kentucky chapter of the
Names Project Foundation will
display an AIDS Memorial Quilt
at the Student Center today in re-
membrance of 35 people who
have died from the disem.

The quilt, which also was dis-
played Wednesday and yesterday,
is a catharsis for family and
friends of people who have died as
a result of acquired immune defi-
ciency syndrome, as well as a
means to increase the public‘s
awareness of AIDS, said Mary

 

Brinkman, UK’s health education
coordinator.

”It is a way for people to memo-
rialize a person they loved who
died from AIDS,” Brinkman said.
"It is a way to work through the
grief."

The personality of the individu-
al is depicted on each 3- by 6-foot
panel of the quilt, and personal ef-
fects are sewn on to some. “The
quilt brings the reality of AIDS (to
the observer),” Brinkman said.

The quilt was begun in spring
1986 in San Francisco by Cleve
Jones, who was ouu'aged by the
death of his friend Marvin Feild-

Lexington Community College student Todd Hiett. a telecommunications sophomore, looks at a portion of the AIDS quilt, which is be-
ing displayed through today in the Student Center. With Hiett is Nicole Van Alstine, a Lexington resident.

man. who had AIDS. In fall 1987,
the quilt of 1,920 panels was dis-
played in Washington, DC, said
Katie McCormick, chairwoman of
the Kentucky chapter of the
Names Project Foundation.

Today there are 13,206 of those
3- by 6-foot panels in the 14-ton
quilt, each representing a loved
one who has died from AIDS,
McCormick said.

Brinkman said she first saw the
quilt more than a year ago at the
Capital Rotunda in Frankfort, Ky.
She then asked about displaying
the quilt on campus to enhance
AIDS awareness.

“1 was really drawn into it,"
she said.

Only a portion of the whole
quilt will be displayed at UK.
About 35 panels, arranged into
four larger panels, will be at the
Student Center from 8 am”. to 2
pm. The larger panels represent
groups of people who have died
from AIDS: one is for children;
another for clergy.

“(Our) effort is to educate peo-
ple about AIDS and the human
immuno-deficiency virus,"
McCormick said.

Two seniors to say farewell
as Cats look for SEC title

By BARRY REEVES
Assistant Sports Editor

Reggie Hanson always looks for-
ward to UK basketball games, but
he doesn't foresee tomorrow night‘s
UK-Aubum game as a happy mo-
ment.

That game will mark the end to
his career as a Wildcat.

“I’m not really looking forward to
it because I’m having a lot of fun
right now, but there comes a time

when you have to move on," Han-
son said after Tuesday’s 79-73 win
over Alabama. “I haven’t given it a
lot of thought right now, but I’m
probably going to start thinking
about it (tonight).

“One thing, though, it’s not going
to be a happy time.”

Hanson, along with Johnathon
Davis, will be playing in his last
game at 7:30 pm. tomorrow at
Rupp Arena. Hanson, a 6-7 center,
is the Cats’ leading scorer for the
second straight season even though
his average has slipped from 16.4
points to 14.5.

The native of Somerset, Ky., has
kept his rebounding average about
the same — 7.1 per game in 1989-
90 and 7.2 this season — but the
Wildcats have improved greatly,
from 14-14 last season to 21-6 and a
No. 13 ranking.

UK coach Rick Pitino believes
Hanson's contribution goes beyond

the box score, and he is not looking
forward to putting a team on the
court next season without his cap-
lain.

“With Reggie Hanson, I‘ve said
this all along, Billy Donovan has al-
ways been like a younger brother to
me as an assistant coach and a
player under me," Pitino said. “Reg-
gie Hanson, I hold much in the
same light."

“I've never met a young man like
Reggie Hanson. He comes to prac-
tice ready to play every day. He
laughs at every joke. He's totally
upbeat about every situation. He's a
great leader. He's a tough kid He's
a winner.

“And I’m really going to miss
Reggie as much as I’ve ever missed
a basketball player. I wish I could
have a few more years with him,
but that’s called ‘Senior Night' —
you have to say goodbye."

Iraq agrees
to free POWs,
preserve peace

By TERENCE HUNT
Associated Press

WASHINGTON -- One day af-
ter halting the war, President Bush
announced yesterday that Iraq had
promptly agreed to talks on a per-
manent cease-fire and the return of
prisoners of war. “We are going to
get back our POWs and we're going
to do it fast,” Bush declared.

With the guns silent in the Per—
sian Gulf, the administration said
Secretary of State James A. Baker
III will fly to the Middle East next
week to begin charting the region's
postwar future. He will stop in Sau-
di Arabia, Egypt, Syria and Israel,
as well as Turkey.

Baker also will go to the Soviet
Union, which tried and failed to
broker a peace agreement to avert
the ground war.

As long as Saddam Hussein re-
mains in power in Iraq, the adminis-
tration will urge the UN. Security
Council to maintain a ban on all
weapon shipments to that nation, of-
ficials said.

Bush met with the ambassador of
newly liberated Kuwait and then
went to the Rose Garden to an-
nounce Iraq's willingness to discuss
peace terms set out Wednesday
night in his announcement of a con-
ditional cease-fire.

He said Baghdad had taken a first
step by agreeing to name military
commanders to talk with U.S.-led
allies about battlefield arrangements
to make the pause in fighting per-
manent. “We will go promptly back
to them with the arrangements ~1-
when and where." Bush said He
said the meeting will take place
very soon.

Bush said that the return of
POWs and seized Kuwaitis will be
a primary subject “and we expect a

prompt repatriation of them, Kuwai—
ti detainees and others."

“We are going to get back our
POWs and we‘re going to do it
fast," Bush said. Forty-five Ameri-
cans are missing, and at least eight
are believed to be Iraqi prisoners.

Bush skirted reporters' questions
about whether he will insist on pros-
ecution of Saddam for war crimes.
“We’re not going to get into that,”
Bush said. “These matters will all
be discussed in appropriate for-
urns."

With the fighting over, prospects
were raised for bringing troops
home. White House press secretary
Marlin Fitzwater said a pullout
might begin in days, but cautioned
that “it took seven months to get in,
it’s going to take a lot of months to
get out But we’re going to start a
steady withdrawal.” Some 537,000
Americans are stationed in the gulf.

Pentagon spokesman Pete Wil-
liams, asked about Fitzwater‘s com-
ment, said, “There is no plan yet for
bringing forces home."

Bush met with his national securi-
ty advisers and was in high spins.
His wife, Barbara, told a military
audience that he needs to relax now
that the war is over. “I hope he‘il

Draft speech ill-timed, but message has impact

By CAROLINE SHIVELY
Staff Writer

While the cease-fire called
Wednesday night by President Bush
was ill-timed for a speech on selec-
tive service and the draft, the mes-
sage Paul Ferrell gave to students at
Haggin Hall last night still was
powerful.

Ferrell, Kentucky Draft Board ad-
ministrator, said the likelihood of a
draft being reinstated in the near fu-
ture now “is slim to none.“

The Student Government Associ-
ation- and Residence Hall Govem-
ment-sponsored h was ar-
ranged last fall when talk of a draft
was heavy on students‘ minds. But

 

“Ten thousand men turn 18 each week in the
US. and are required to register... . It's quick,

it's easy and it's the law.‘

Paul Ferrell,

Kentucky Draft Board administrator

 

peace probably had an impact —
only about 10 people gathered to
hearFerrellspcak.

If Congress docs reinstate the
draft, the draft board‘s mission
would be “to mobilize and direct
the 1(X),000 registered men in this
country within a 30-day period,"
Ferrell said.

Men are required to register with
Selective Service within 30 days of
their l8th birthday. he said.

“Ten thousand men tum 18 each
week in the US. and are required to
register," chell said. “It‘s quick,
it's easy and it's the law."

If a draft did occur, 20-to 26-
year-olds would be the first induct-

ed. l9-year-olds would be next, and
18-year-olds would be last

Names of registered men are
picked through a twofold lottery sys—
tem based on birthdays and a ran‘
dom sequence number, he said.

“Mathematically, it is the fairest
possible system.“ Ferrell said.

The last draft in the United States
was in 1973 during the Viemam
War.

“Student deferrnents are no longer
like they were in Vietnam." Ferrell
said.

Defennent for undergraduate stu-
dents lasts until the end of the
school semester. Senior students can
be deferred until they graduate.

INSIDE: LADY KAT TAKE ON LSU IN SEC TOURNAMENT

Men also can be exempt from the
draft or put into non—combatant ser-
vice if they fall into a category for
reclassification.

“You get a reclassification if you
are a conscientious objector, hard-
ship classification or a ministerial
and lelnlly student," Ferrell said.

These cases have to be proved to
a local draft board.

The penalties for not registering
are up to 10 years in jail and a fine
of $250,000. Kentucky has a 98 per-
cent compliance ratio to the law, he
said.

Students can call to check to see
if they are registered for slecuve
service at (708) 688~6888.

Tomorrow at 1 the UK Lady Kats
basketball learn takes its six-game
winning streak and 20-7 overall
record into the James H. Gray, Sr.

ern Conference ToumamenL

“We're real excited about oppor-
tunity and challenge that lies
ahead," UK coach Sharon Fanning
said. “Any team can win."

WRAPUP

UK’s 4-5 record in the SEC is
good enough to buy a first-round
bye in the tourney. a luxury the
team hasn't enjoyed since 1986.

Their first opponent in the tour-
ney will be l2th-ranked Louisiana
State University Tigers. The Tigers
finished the season 21-6 overall, 54
in the SEC.

out UK 78-74. In that game Tigers
senior center Sheila Johnson scored
27 points and hauled in 19 re-
bounds.

But this UK may be a better team
than the one that LSU faced back in
January. Among the six straight
games that the Lady Kats have won
was a 87-81 win over Nth-ranked
University of Mississippi.

“It‘s good to see how far we've
grown together,” Fanning said.
“This is what we worked for and we
still have a couple more goals to ac-
complish this season."

The UK gymnastics team will
try to build on last week’s solid per-
formance. as they take on a field of
four in the Georgia Bulldog Invita-
tional at Georgia Coliseum tomor-
row.

Although the Gym Kats scored a
season high 185.75, it wasn‘t
enough to down l3th-ranked Tow-
son State University. The loss sent
UK's record to 7-8 overall, 02 in
the Southeastern Conference.

“The Bulldog Invitational is going
to be one of the highest levels of
competition so far,” UK coach Leah
Little said. “Our goal is to get a
good counting road score."

The UK Lady Kat golf team will
begin competition in the Josten Invi-
tational this weekend in Ft. Ord

won't be here.
We have a lot J
of good fresh- “
men coming ’
in, but nobody
can replace the
leadership he
gave us. He,
like Coach
(Pitino), never
let us get down.
He was always
up."

While Hanson was in the spot-
light, Davis made his contribu-
tions on the practice floor at Me-
morial Coliseum with little
fanfare.

“Johnathon didn’t get that much
playing time but was there every
day in practice playing as hard as
he can," Feldhaus said. “Reggie
wouldn’t be near as good without
Johnathon. He's made Reggie a
ballplayer because he’s competed
against him every day.”

Davis, a senior from Pensacola.
Fla, is a junior in terms of eligi-
bility but is scheduled to graduate
this spring. Davis’ biggest perfor-
mance of his career came last sea-
son when he scored six points,
grabbed six rebounds and blocked
three shots against Furman.

“Even though Johnathon hasn‘t
played that much, we're losing a
super person, certainly," Pitino
said. Johnathon gave every-
thing he had every day in practice,
and that takes a special person.
Most who don’t get much playing
time are not willing to work very
hard in practice. Johnathon cer-
tainly is special, even if he didn't
show in the box score.”

As usual at the last home game,
UK will honor Hanson and Davis
in pregame ceremonies, which
will include the introduction of
their parents. the seniors running
through special banners and the
playing of “My Old Kentucky
Home.”

Those ceremonies often bring
players to tears, but Hanson is un-
sure what his reaction will be.

“l’ve never experienced it, so I
can’t really say,” Hanson said. “I
know it’s going to be emotional.
but I'm looking forward to it, but
then again I’m not. Saturday’s the
end and the beginning, you
know."

Feldhaus, who grew up in Ken-
tucky watching those “Senior
Night" ceremonies, isn’t sure how

“I don't know." he said. “Some

UK freshman Jamal Mashbum
has said all season that “this is
Reggie Hanson’s year." Well. to-
morrow is his day.

Auburn weary of UK

Auburn coach Tommy Joe Ea-
gles is not exactly happy with the
Southeastern Conference’s sched-
ule-maker. He is not looking for-
ward to being part of UK's “Sen-
ior Night."

“I think the emotions will make
the game a very physical one end-
line-to endline-basketball game,"
said Eagles, whose team is 12-l4
overall and 5-12 in the SEC, “with
a lot of hand-checking and traps
and intensity.

UK enters the game tied with
LSU for the league’s best record at
13-4, and Mississippi State is one
game back at 12-5.

LSU plays at Mississippi State
tomorrow afternoon.

“Kentucky will understand the
importance of the game,” Eagles
said.

“They will know exactly what
they need to do.”

Leading the Tiger attack is a
pair of guards -— sophomore Ron-
nie Battle and freshman Wesley
Person.

Battle averages 17.0 points and
Wesley Person, the younger broth-
er of former Auburn star Chuck
Person, hits for 15.0 points a
game.

“I don't think any of us know
how good Wesley Person can be
down the road," Eagles said. “1
think he’ll be as good as he wants
to be. He does so many things
for this basketball team —— his abil-
ity to score, his ability to rebound,
his ability to handle (the ball) and

It’s money
that counts
to Oscar

 

CRITIC'S
NOTEBOOK

 

By D.R. WILLIAMS
Senior Staff Critic

Oscar is a schizophrenic and
seems damned proud to be one.

Who is Oscar?

He's a gold—hued statuette giv-
en out by the Academy of MO-
tion Picture Arts and Sciences,
an organization supposedly dedi-
cated to allowing artists in cine-
ma to praise and be praised for
artistic successes in film.

Unfortunately, Oscar lately
has been weighing the financial
rewards with one eye while
lamely trying to focus on critical
success with the other.

Now an observant reader
should realize that Oscar should
always do this, since it repre-
sents the film industry's best
way of singing accolades to its
laborers. But perhaps the prob-
lem lies in Oscar's inability re-
cently to look at the past year’s
work with some subjectivity.

Consider this year‘s nomina-
tions, which have the appear-
ance Of an overblown smorgas-
bord of acknowledgements of
everything from mainstream
fluff to left-of-center visuals.

resents the worst elements of
this philosophy. For the five best

SHORT
TAKE

 

Staff reports

Alfred Hitchcock once said
that suspense occurred when the
audience was sure something
was going to happen and then it
did not. Director John Slesinger
obviously had the master in
mind when he made “Pacific
Heights" last fall.

The film, being shown this
week at UK‘s Worsham Theatre,
is about a young couple played
by Melanie Griffith and Mat-
thew Modine, who seem to have
the perfect life until they rent
out a room in their new home to
mystery man, played by Michael
Keaton.

Slowly, their new tenant takes
control of their lives and their
home until they are powerless to
stop him.

Keaton makes a better crimi-
nal than a crime fighter. He ma-
nipulates the audience as well as
his young victims. Unfortunate-
ly, he is given very little materi-

Dishing Out Blues

ble 7-11."

Some other songs include the
meaty “Concrete and Steel" and the
humorous “Give it Up," where the
Top sings: “I bumped a flying sau-
cer of Presley’s estate."

onight at 8 the 22 Top blues-
boogie stew is back at Rupp
Arena, complete with all the
ingredients — hot cars, spicy legs
and chunky guitars.
It’s been five years since the two-

thirds bearded Texas trio came “Burger Man" — with lyrics like
around last, then with their 1986 al— “Once you try my burger, baby,
bum Afterburner. you’ll grow a new thyroid gland”

The Top is led by blues guitarist
Billy Gibbons, whom Jimi Hendrix
once referred to as “one of Ameri-
ca’s best young guitarists." His
front stage companion and fellow
longbeard is bass player Dusty Hill.
Rounding out the trio is beardless
drummer Frank Beard.

After 21 years, the band is still
doing the same blues-rock that has
tasted so good over the years. The
band‘s latest album, Recycler, com-
bines 3 mixtures of sex and blues.

blues, food, sex and rock.

“We've always played from a
blues-based perspective," Hill said.
“This album is just a bit more fo-
cused now that we’ve had 20 years
of practice."

One song from Recycler that epit-
omizes ZZ’s control over the blues—
boogie format is “My Head‘s in
Mississippi," which includes a de-
mented tale about seeing a cowgirl
“floating across the ceiling/

— may take some fans back to
1983‘s Eliminator album and the
song “TV Dinners" — “1f the sauce
isn‘t too blue."

Leading up to the album, the band
was working hard to raise money
for the Delta Blues Museum in
Clarksdale, Miss.

“Itjust doesn’t make sense to ig-
nore our blues heritage any more
than it does to trash our planet,”
Gibbons said.

The band also was busy on the
big screen, putting together a song
as well a popping up for a cameo
appearance in the movie “Back to
the Future Part III."

“In the movie we play a three-
piece band," Beard said. “We don’t
want to be typecast, so we're hold-
ing out for a role as a symphony or-
chestra in the next one."

After that it was time to start
planning an album and tour. So the
band decided to get back to its roots
in Memphis, Tenn., Gibbons said.

 

 

ZZ Top has been a staple of rock 'n' roll since the band formed in

WARNER BROS.

1969. The band performs 8 tonight at Rupp Arena

“This one was done right on
Beale Street (in Memphisi." (lib—
bons said. “We‘re talking about the
home of blues to the ‘nth‘ power 1
think some of that funk comes
across in the performance."

The band is sure to serve up a
plate of solid, never ending rock-
blues classics that should leave the
Rupp crowd full.

Usually a warm-up band doesn't
get much attention, especially with
a band of 22 Top's legendary status

headlining the concert. lint that
won't be the case with tonight‘s
opening band. the Black Crown

The band‘s dchttt album, Write

tracks, including “Twice as Hard,”

“Sister Luck” and its latest single,

Obsessed with Morrison

Assoclated Press 3, 1971, at the age of 27 he may
inadvertently have given his career
its biggest break ever.

From beyond the grave, Morri-
son has become a symbol of 19605
counterculture for a generation too
young to remember the decade of
tune in, tum on, drop out. His
dark. brooding good looks and
poetic lyrics have inspired a cult
following and made him an icon.

He‘s a rock idol who will never
grow old, never sell out, never dis-
appoint.

“When you‘re really great look—
ing, a great poet and die at the age
of 27 you get the James Dean my-
thology effect," said John Den-
smore, who for five years was
drummer for The Doors.

Densmore described his former
bandmate as a “brilliant burnout"
