JANE ”ROW Sufi

The Rev. Jesse Jackson speaks briefly at Blue Grass Airport
yesterday before an appearance at Memorial Coliseum.

Bridge-building vital
to progress in society

 

By Tyrone Beason
Editor in Chief

 

The Rev. Jesse Jackson knows he
has time on his side.

He knows that the circles of hate
and self-hate and spiritual elevation
are necessary and continuing ele-
ments of human existence.

But he also realizes that a great
many fractures in the circle threaten
to stymie the process.

Among those. he said in an inter-
view after his speech at Memorial
Coliseum last night. is a bruised
sense of hope among some groups
of people.

“Hope is the key. If you can keep
your hope alive. if you can keep
your dreams alive. you‘re turning
stumbling blocks into stepping
stones."

Jackson, who for more titan a
decade has been at the forefront of
civil and human rights movements
and who has become a kind of spiri-
tual leader in the process. said the
next generation of black leadership
will come from all areas of Ameri-
can society.

The uplifting of those without
hope in the black community. he
said. will and ought to be a group
effort

“What we have now that‘s so
positive is our base of leadership
has grown. We have 40 congres-
sional. federal legislative leaders.
We have 20-plus mayors. We have

several thousand public officials.
We have lawyers. litigators, minis-
ters who are spiritual leaders.

“1 say you have to have demon-
stration. litigation. legislation. reg-
istration and independent political
initiatives. All of that leadership is
important."

Despite the positives that Jackson
recognizes in the black community.
he said there are trouble areas. such
as explicit and often degrading rap
music lyrics.

Jackson was quick to caution.
though. that rap as music form is
not the culprit but rather a few art-
ists who seek to exploit it.

“All of us who speak or sing or
perform or produce must live the
consequences of our actions and
our choices." he said “To be a mu-
sician is to have a great gift. Using
that gift to illuminate people. to lift
people is good use of that gift. but
to abuse that gift to perpetuate deca-
dence and degeneracy is not
healthy.

“All this explicit lyrics. the sug-
gestive violence many people
are right on the edge in the first
place. The suggestive lyrics about
equating women to female dogs. no
one should be able to do that. We
all have a responsibility."

But Jackson said one must not al-
low abrasive rap music to scar what
he calls a “tremendous art form.“

“Some rap spiritual. Some rap

Civil rights
leader uses
UK sports to
make points

By Tammy Gay
Senior Staff Writer

 

 

Nations must look ahead to the
future in reaching total equality
among peOple. the Rev. Jesse Jack-
son told a diverse crowd at Memori-
al Coliseum last night.

“You can‘t go far looking back-
ward," Jackson said. “You have to
push ahead ”

Jackson, president of the National
Rainbow Coalition and two-time
presidential candidate. said every-
one looks the same in the dark. He
urged people to turn on the light
and live together.

At UK. the majority of the has-
ketball department is white. but the
basketball team represents three
races. black, white and Hispanic.
Jackson said. holding up a research
packet detailing the racial makeup
of UK's basketball program.

He pointed that all of the radio
and television personalities who
cover UK basketball are white.

“We can shoot, but can't we
talk." Jackson quipped.

Jackson said it seems easier for
people to accept people who are not
white on the courts and playing
fields than in administrative posi-
tions.

Jackson's theme for the speech
was a “call and challenge to our na-
tional character."

He said the United States was
born with racism. sexism and class-
ism.

“Somehow we must rebuild and
recapture and redeem the structure
of our nation.” Jackson said.

The crowd of about 3.000 shout-
ed “amen” and “yes“ as Jackson
stressed equality and equal rights.

“Suffering breeds character.
Character breeds faith. In the end.
faith will prevail." Jackson said.

Racism, which often leads to
physical violence. is still alive.
Jackson said.

But “nobody has the right to kill
anybody. We must stop the killing.
We must redeem the soul of our na-
tion. You can‘t give up. You have
to keep this drive.

“You must maintain that drive to
survive and the will to be free."
Jackson said.

If the beating of Rodney King in
1991 in Los Angeles was not mp-
tured on videotape. Jackson said.
Americans probably would not
have believed King's story.

“The nation cried out racism (af-
ter the beating). and the nation was
right.” Jackson said emphatically.
“It was racism.‘

To close the lecture. Jackson in-
vited the audience to chant with
him his famous dictum. “Keep hope
alive." And immediately following
the lecture. he took questions from
audience members on subjects rang-
ing from abortion to equal employ-
ment.

SGA proposition would
extend committee power

 

By Lance Williams
News Editor

 

A bylaw amendment that would
extend the power of Student Gov-
ernment Association standing com-
mittees will go before the full Sen-
ate next Wednesday night with an
unfavorable recommendation.

The SGA Senate's Operations
and Evaluations committee last
night voted against an amendment
that would allow committees to
amend bills permanently without
having sent the original to the full
Senate.

The SGA bylaws currently only
allow amendments to be attached if
they are accepted by the author of
the bill or if a majority of the com-
mittee wishes to add them.

The bylaw amendment would al-
low a committee to amend a bill
without regard to the author’s feel-
ing about the amendment.

Operations and Evaluation chair-
man and Senator at Large Jennifer
Schwartz said she thinks “it should
be the whole Senate voting on a bill
and not just the committee."

Schwartz said she thinks it is un-
fair to the author because it could
mean a bill requesting money could
be done cut down before it ever
reached the Senate floor.

However. Senator at large Trent
Knuckles. who is not an Operations
and Evaluations committee member
but was on hand to present the by-
law amendment. said the amend-
ment is needed because it allows
the committees to do their jobs

more effectively.

“It is the committee's job to trim
the fat off a bill." he said after the
vote had been taken.

During debate over the amend-
ment. Knuckles said the committees
“should clean up the bills“ before
the bill reaches the Senate floor.

“We are just a small committee
and so are the others. Our commit-
tee could only be six voices and not
the whole Senate.“ Schwartz coun-
tered.

“But that's what (the committees)
are supposed to do." Knuckles said.

Knuckles presented this bylaw
amendment as a result of a study
done by he and National issues For-
um chairman Ken Luthy.

Knuckles and Luthy found sever-

18 candidates file for freshmen senator

New deadline, more publicity boosted
number of applicants, S GA ofi‘icial says

 

By Kelly Grubb
Contributing Writer
For 17 freshmen senator candi-

dates. the election slogan could well
be “Better late than Never."

 

After the filing deadline for can-
didates was extended last week. the
Student Government Association
was swamped with 17 new applica-
tions for the for: freshman seats.

Only one candidate had applied
Q

r

..r-.—-,,.‘.~ “Wm“m a». - -

for the post when the original dead-
line expired Sept. 27.

The extended registration period
ended yesterday aftemoon.

“When 1 came in today. i was ec-
static to find the large number of
candidates." said Kim Mcadors.
chairwoman for fall elections.

The first deadline disaster. Mea-
dors said. was caused by miscom-
munication. She said there was
quite a bit of confusion about the

deadlines and a 530 deposit re-
quired of candidates.

Meadors also said the large in-
crease in candidates was because of
publicity the new deadline received.

This year's fall elections will dif-
fer from those in the past. Mcadors
said. because graduate students will
be voting as well. Graduate School
senator Steve Olshewsky resigned
earlier this month. leaving his posi-
tion vacant.

Because Oishewsky ran unop
posed. for the Graduate School seat.
a new election will have to be held
to find a replacement. if other can~
didates had run against ()Ishewsky.

Meadors explained. SGA would
have awarded the office to the nin-
ner-up.

“This election has two extremes
—— freshmen and graduate stu-
dents." Mcadors said. The only
problem officials forsee with the
election is how SGA will verify
whether voters are freshmen or
graduate students.

Freshmen may vote only for
freshmen senator candidates. and
graduate students may vote only for
their senate representative.

Elections will be held on October
hand 7.

Attorney: Defense searching
for scapegoats in beating trial

 

By Michael Fleeman
Associated Press

LOS ANGELES —— Prosecutors
are looking for stapegoats in the
beating of Reginald Denny and
failed to prove that the man charged
with hurling a brick at the trucker
was the attacker seen on a video-
tape. a defense attomey said today.

“This use has no credibility
whatsoever. This case should not
have been before you." attomey Edi
Faal. who represents Damian Wil-
liams, said in closing arguments.

Faal said prosecutors failed in
their primary mission: identifying

 

Williams as the man seen beating
Denny on videotape in the opening
moments of the April 1992 riots.
He accused prosecutors of playing
to jurors' emotions rather than rea-
son.

Yesterday. the lawyer represent-
ing defendant Henry Watson con-
ceded during his closing argument
that his client probably assaulted
Denny when he put his foot on
Denny‘s neck. but said Watson cer-
tainly didn't intend to kill him.

“He put the foot gingerly on the
neck and he was doing sortie-
thing to protect Mr. Denny from
further assault." defense attomey
Earl Broadv said.

Watson and Williams, who are
black. are charged with attempted
murder iii the attack on Denny. a
white trucker who was pulled from
his rig and bloodied after four white
policemen were acquitted in the
Rodney King heating.

The attack was captured on video
by a TV helicopter overhead and
broadcast live.

The defendants are also accused
of other attacks at the same inter-
section in South Central Los An-
geles.

If convicted of attempted murder.
Williams, 20. and Watson, 29.
could get life in prison.

Broady told jurors that Watson
got “caught up" in the rioting.

“He was there because he was
upset with the injustice in connec-
tion with the King case“ the lawyer
said.

al items in the recently
amended constitution and by-

in future Senate debate.

in one of the items cited in
the report. the Senate bylaws
currently state “all programs
which incur an expense over
$200 shall be referred to Com-
mittee on Appropriations and
Revenue."

However, the re-
establishment of Student Or-

ing less than 8500 are sent to

Knuckles and Luthy also

Jackson's lecture last night. and af-
terward be repeated the theme in
analyzing the state of young blacks
who attend predominantly white
colleges and universities. such as
UK.

An important factor in a black
student‘s survival and success at
these schools is making connec-
tions with other people while creat-
ing a “comfon zone“ for oneself.

he said.

When Jackson, for instance. sits
in a room filled with white men, he
is aware that he is different. “but 1
am not awestricken —— not intimi-
dated.“ he said.

“I have a comfort level because in
my own development 1 have leamed
to relate to people whether they are
from Europe or Lebanon or Israel or
Africa or Lexington or New York."

But this ability to relate has vital
mending power for all rifts between
people, Jackson said The survival
of America‘s racial and ethnic com-

“One of the advantages of going
to school is that you learn to build
coalitions." he said. “It’s a sad thing
if you can only find comfort around
people who are of one race or one

Staff Critic

 

lf Sweet Water's self-titled debut

proves nothing else. it's that Seattle
has more sounds than grunge wait-
ing to be discovered.

They're not hard. They‘re not

 

 

heavy. They‘re not even alterna-
tive. Sweet Water is simply rock
with an attitude. sometimes up-
tempo. sometimes mellow. but al-
ways with an intelligence that sep-
arates it from Top 40 fare.

Being caught in a limbo between
mainstream and alternative seems
to be conunon these days.

Pearl Jam. and more recently
Stone Temple Pilots, have shown
that existing on a higher-than-the-
rut plane of rock sensibility can ap-
peal to a wide range of audiences
and sell a lot of records.

Selling a lot of records. howev-
er. is something Sweet Water
won‘t accomplish with this release.

It's not that this album is all bad.
Sweet Water's heart is obviously
in the right place on songs like
“Head Down." “Crawl" and “King

of 79," but others simply miss the
mark.

“Where Has the Day Gone?" car-
ries on for an unnecessary seven
minutes. and “Like a Child“ is a
foot dragging anti—climactic ending
to the release.

With stronger song writing and
serious promotion by Atlantic.
Sweet Water (have you heard of
them before now?) will be on track

and “Everything Will Be Alright"
as one of the group's song titles
suggests.

In the meantime. Sweet Water
runs the risk of being the first of the
recent crop of Seattle bands to flop
after signing to a major label.

Perhaps sweets will come to the
sweet next time.

Picture yourself at a ball game.

tend the Wildcat Marching Band
Spectacular.

There you can watch the 270-
member band perform at the Otis
A. Singletary Center for the Arts

cert" will feature a bit of every-

“This is the big one we're really

These shows aren’t the only fes-
tivities, though. Several other con-
cens are scheduled as well.

blaring trumpets and gliding trom-
bones, while the UK Percussion
Ensemble showcases thunderous
drums of all shapes and sizes.

”UK is highly respected in the

years and anticipate the future.“

Clarke also will be lecturing on

One of the reasons the roots of
this black music had remained hid-

that earlier sociologists looked in
all the wrong places for informa-

“The error in African-American
studies had been to look to print
and to language for evidence of Af-

trained black intellectuals and writ-
ers away from the heritage of their
parents. who had a non-print. non-
verbal heritage that the educated
falsely labeled ‘ignorant.’

“Nonetheless. it was because of
this culturally biased ‘ignorance'
that African culture had been large-
ly passed on in America — that is.
through nonverbal and oral chan-
nels. out of the reach of censor-
ship."

Because of this unwritten charac-
ter. and the fact that most blacks in
the South were isolated from
“modem” trends by racism. segre-
gation and poverty, these African
musical elements were preserved in
near-pure forms until the latter half
of this century.

While influencing the creation of
new musical fomis like the spiritu-
al. the blues. gospel and jazz. the
original African elements remained
as a sort of eternal wellspring of in-
spiration for new musical trends.

We in America are doubly
blessed. as we have another. equal-
ly ancient and just as deeply en-
trenched wellspring: that of the
folk music brought here hundreds
of years ago from England, Ireland
and Scotland.

This tradition also remained iso-
lated from modern trends. until ra-
dio and then television entered
even the most distant hills and hot-
lers and replaced that musical heri-
tage with a mass-marketed com-
mercial product.

And this tradition also usually
was associated with poverty — and
is still often considered the “ignor-
ant" artistic product of uneducated
rural Americans.

These are the ballads. work-
songs and stories of the Anglo-
Saxon oral tradition — a tradition
as rich. colorful and almost com-
pletely forgotten today as that of
the West African world.

This folk tradition served as a
wellspring in the late 19505 and
early '605 -— the “folk revival“
Parker said arose as young Ameri-
cans sought a more honest and ac-
curate musical expression than the
eommercial pop of the glamorous
’505 era.
