The United Way of the Blue-
grass’ 1991 fund-raising campaign
is more than $100,000 short of
meeting its first goal, but United
Way’s president isn’t worried about
it —— yet.

George Hearn said that as long as
he knows the reasons for the United
Way’s failure to reach the first of
four report goals. he isn‘t bothered

by it.

“I don‘t think it's anything we
can’t overcome,“ Heam said.

”Someone to Lean On," United
Way’s 1991 campaign, began Sept.
5 and ends Nov. 20. The final goal
is over $6 million this year.

There will be three additional re-
port meeting luncheons for United
Way volunteers to examine their
progress in meeting targets for each
report period.

y fund drive falls short of first goal

Clay-Ingels Building Materials and
a volunteer, said the charts at the
meeting showed that some divisions
are well over their goals, while oth-
ers have not begun to raise funds.

One of the divisions getting a late
start was UK.

Hearn said UK started 10 days af-
ter the kick off, and is one of four
divisions failing to meet its target.

But Claudia Peck, UK United
Way co-chairman, said she was utt-
sure what Heam tneant.

“We staned when we always
do," Peck said.

Peck said the United Way of the
Bluegrass set the downtown lunch-
eon kick off a week earlier than usu-
al, leaving the UK division with
only four business days to reach the
first report goal.

“In four days we had already col—
lected around $3,700,“ said Gail
Fortner, co‘chairman for the UK
United Way. The first report goal
was about $100,000.

The 19905 are a cynical age in
which people no longer expect
the democratic experience to be a
part of their lives, a columnist for
the Lexington Herald-Leader said
yesterday.

Bill Bishop, who spoke at the
Student Center to a group of
about 50 people participating in
the Donovan Forum Series, said
people are cynical because of a
luck of trust in their elected offi-
cials.

“The state legislature itself
runs under rules guaranteed to di-
minish the democratic impulse,"
he said.

From the code of ethics book
med by the Kentucky General

 

Columnist calls
’905 a cynical age

Assembly, Bishop read, “Any
person shall, while serving as a
legislator, endeavor to pursue a
course of conduct which will not
tend to raise suspicion among
the people of the Common-
wealth

“So 3 long as they don't raise
suspicion, I guess they’re 0K,”
Bishop said.

Using his early writing experi-
ences as an example, Bishop
talked about his quest for find-
ing participants of a true demo.
cratic experience -- people who
had “confronted their problems
with passion and the imagina-
tion to work out those prob

Fortner said she thought other fac-
tors playcd a role in the United
Way‘s failure to meet the first report
goal. such as the sale of 80 percent
of IBM‘s Lexington plant.

“You can‘t discount IBM," she
said. “it has to have been a factor,

Peck said the UK United Way set
a realistic overall goal. but that it
will be hard for the division to reach
the 70 percent goal set for it by the

She said the United Way of the

that the needs of the agencies and

Laughing Hyenas prove they’re no laughing matter

By DENNIS DEVER
Contributing Critic

Like Vivarin laced with dynamite,
the Wrocklage shook Monday night
in a manic frenzy driven by three
great bands.

Lexington's own Vale started the
night with a very powerful and rm-
pressive rhythmic force of sound.
However, the two main spectacles of
Monday night were spectacular
groups from my hometown of Ann
Arbor. Mich. — Wig and Laughing
Hyenas.

Wig. a fairly young band, really
threw me for a loop. l expected just
another garage band banging on
some power chords, but this band is
much more complex than that.

Their primal drum sounds had a
refined yet savage quality that beat
the rest of the band into synchronici-

ty, and the driving guitar alongside
the menacing bass left no one unen-
thralled.

The vocals. too, were quite re-
markable. Wig's lead singer Preston
Cleveland has a dynamic but guttu-
ral voice that belts out lyrics not
meant for pnidish cars. This helps
lend to the ferocny of this exciting,
fully faceted band. Their new —
and only 7- album is entitled Lying
Next to You. and if it is anything
like their live performance, the band
Will soon be well-known.

The most renowned of the bands
was Laughing Hyenas, who are
touring wrth Wig right now
throughout the region. John Bran—
non, Cleveland‘s brother, has a
screaming voice that shouldn’t be
underestimated in either volume or
Violence. It‘s like 10,000 volts of
raw and uncharned electricity shoot-

ing itself into the crowd.

Accompanied by the rest of the
band, Brannon put on an hour-andv
a-half orgasm of a show. The only
thing marring Monday night’s per-
formance was the poor sound quali-
ty and inexperienced technical crew
that constantly screwed up the moni-
tor by overemphasizing certain in-
strumentals and downplaying oth-
ers, not achieving a fluid mix.

The music itself was very differ-
ent than anything I had ever heard
before. It had the spiritual quality of
the blues and the gumption to attack
the audience with a complete battery
of rhythms that Just blew everyone
away.

I strongly suggest that you pick
up one, if not all three, of the Hye-
na’s albums. Their LPs Merry-Go-
Round, You Can't Pray a Lie, and
their new one, Life of Crime. are all

on the Touch and Go label.

Overall, the show was a fantastic
success, although the turnout left
something to be desired. It was a
real tribute to 88.1 WRFL-FM. Ra-
dio Free Lexington, for orchestrat-
ing not only this show, but a whole
week of progressive music perfor-
mances for the third year in a row.

The $4 cover was minute com-
pared to the quality of music experi-
enced. I strongly encourage every-
one to explore all Alternative Music
Week has to offer and to turn your
dial towards 88.1 FM for an entirely
different sound.

I only wish they had charged $5
cover and spent the extra dollar for
some audio engineers who could
have appropriately organized the
sound setup. The true colors of all
three bands did shine, although they
might have been slightly fntstrated

 

 

with the Iess-than-satisfactory ber as this year's — as well as a bet-

acoustics. ,
I hope next year the annual event day s Show can be topped, but I sup-
will attract bands of the same cali- posed l’llJust have to waitand see.

II'I-Y‘IWIIOIIIIIIKSIIII‘I-“III"I

By DWAYNE HUFF
Staff Writer

It seems as if the UK football
team‘s lack of success on the field
has had reverberating effects on
some of its players’ performances
— or lack of performances —~ in the
classroom.

According to UK Coach Bill Cur-
ry, a growing number of players
have begun to skip classes and tutor-
ing sessions. He attributed the cut
classes in pan to his team’s disap-
pointing 1-4 record.

“When things are not going your
way, it‘s easy to curl up and sleep a
little longer," Curry said. “Most
people will quit during bad times or
at least give up a little bit.”

But Curry has installed a fail-safe
system that he feels will get his
players back on schedule.

The structure of discipline: if a
player skips a class. then he is made
to attend a study hall session at 5
a.m. If the player, after the early
morning session, skips again. then

an assistant coach will accompany
the delinquent players to the study
hall.

Even though Curry did not speci—
fy who is skipping classes. he did
say that a lot more assistant coaches
will be in study hall this week.

Curry made a correlation between
those players who skip classes and
those who aren’t doing well on the
field.

“When we looked at the players
who cut classes, it was the same
players who weren’t doing what
they should be on the field," Curry
said. “it takes persistent people who
keep on going to do better in the
classroom."

The situation, according to Curry,
isn’t that anyone has been severely
punished. but Curry‘s job is to keep
his players from stepping over that
boundary.

“We don‘t have anybody that is
abusive or they would be suspend-
ed," Curry said. “We’re taking col-
lege students to play football. We
are dealing with teen-age lives here

and the educational process is what
it‘s all about.”

Curry places part of the blame for
the lackluster effort of some players
on the over-inflated expectations
created upon his arrival at UK.

“I‘m not pointng my finger at the
media, but there was an illusion
created." Curry said. “There was so
much excitement about the coaching
change that the players thought that
they could come out and automati-
cally win. I didn’t say that. We’ve

got to learn to win a game. and we
haven‘t learned how to do that
well."

In an effort to bring about those
victories, Curry has instituted a few
changes in the starting lineup for
Saturday’s Homecoming game with
Mississippi State.

“We’ve made some changes in
the starting lineup," Curry said.
“We are going to put people on the
field that perform. We want more
than anything to win against Missis-

‘ Kentucky Komol. Wednesday. October 10,1990 . 3
Disappointing Start has some Cats sleeping in

sippi State.”

All isn't going badly on the Cat
from, however.

Curry spoke positively of his
team‘s overall effort in the 35-29
loss to Ole Miss last Saturday.

“We are finding some stars of the
future and some seniors are stepping
up and doing the job," Curry said.

Concerning the game last Satur-
day, Curry pointed to a few individ-
uals that stood out.

' Quarterback Brad Smith, who

made his first collegiate start and
completed 25 of 43 passes for 211
yards and one touchdown.

“The guy played an exceptional
game," Curry said. “He didn‘t look
like a backup down the stretch.“

- Al Baker, who rushed for 69
yards in the Ole Miss game,

"Al Baker was magnificent," Cur-
ry said.

“And that was not "l‘he Little Sis-
ters of the Poor’ that he was running
against."

Greek system
must confront
issues facing it

The reversal of the lnterfratemity Council's alcohol policy
last month and the banning of Phi Kappa Tau social fraternity
last week for hazing violations indicate that some UK fraterni-
ties are losing sight of the objectives of pledgeship.

The goals of pledgeship are supposed to be academic
achievement, leadership and friendship. When a greek house
fails to adhere to those goals, it undermines the very foundation
on which the greek system is built.

Monday. a motion was made for IFC to return to the alcohol
policy it passed last fall. The motion was a reaction to the over-
whelming amount of negative support fratemities have re-
ceived for the more liberal alcohol policy it passed at its Sept.

3-1 meeting.

On Sept. 24, IFC voted to amend its bylaws and reverse a
good alcohol policy that prohibited chapters from purchasing
alcohol with chapter funds or centrally distributing it at parties.

The policy change provoked a great deal of controversy. btit
its critics failed to acknowledge the underlying factor that led

to the move.

Only 10 of the then-20 fraternities that make tip IFC were eli—
gible to vote on the bylaw amendment because of an IFC poli—
cy that withholds voting privileges of any fraternity whose
grade point average falls below academic standards.

Poor pledge class grades were the reason most of the fraierni

ties lost their IFC vote.

Last Friday, Phi Kappa Tau fraternity. which has been at [K
since 1920. was kicked off campus for three years because of
hazing violations. The message sent from the Dean of Students
Office was clear: If fraternities forget the original intent of
pledgeship. they will suffer the consequences.

If fraternities are interested in continuing to maintain a grade
point average that is above the all-male average and if they
want to be thought of as campus leaders. then had they better
take a long. hard look at themselves.

L'K fraternities need to re-evaluate their membership educa~
tion programs and make the necessary changes in order to re-
turn to the original goals of membership education.

Greek organizations have contributed to campus leadxship
and philanthropy since 1893. If they wish to excel in those are—
as. they must commit themselves to the high standards they

have set.

The UK greek community must confront issues such as hill"
ing and poor grades. It’s a challenge greeks must face head—on
if they hope to remain a part of college life.

Phi Taus treated unfairly

Let it be known that the brothers

It was truly a shock when the lini-

Therefore, I feel the University is
unjustified in treating this as a chap-

We easily could have eradicated this
problem by the expulsion of every-
