Student board
outlines plans
to lobby state

By GREGORY A. HALL
Associate Editor

After having won the latest battle
in the war against mandatory stu-
dent health insurance, the Board of
Student Body Presidents mapped
out its strategy to attack the state
law in the January session of the
General Assembly.

The board met yesterday after-
noon in the Pauerson Office Tower
and defined its legislative agenda,
which includes a lobbying cam—
paign to repeal the insurance law.

The board also plans to press for
more student financial aid and seek
the removal of the in~state residency
requirement for student body presi-
dents who serve on the goveming
boards at each of the eight state uni-
versities.

A primary function of the board,
which is comprised of the student
govemment presidents, is to act as a
student lobby to state govemmcnt in
Frankfort.

Yesterday, the board discussed
the implications of a recent court
ruling that temporarily blocked imA
plemenlation of the mandatory stu-
dent health insurance law.

The law, passed by the 1990 Gen-
eral Assembly. requires students
taking nine hours of course work or
more be covered with insurance by
Sept. 1.

The required coverage must pay
l4 days‘ hospitali/ation, 50 percent
ol hospital physicians' fees and
emergency room costs if the student
is admitted.

Two students filed a lawsuit in
Franklin Circuit (‘ourt Aug. 5, chal-
lenging the constitutionality of the
insurance law

Judge Joyce Albro granted the
two students an injunction against
having to obtain the insurance while
the suit is litigated.

Albro extended the injunction to
all college students on Aug. 23,
when she granted the case class ac-
tion status

Part ol the court order granting
class action status requires that all
students at public and private insti«
tutions be notified of the injunction,

The presidents agreed to notify
students through newspaper adver-
tisements at each institution.

“The problem is that we have to
get the private schools to do this
too." said Scott (‘rosbie, UK Stu-
dent Ciovemment Association presi—
dent. “ We've probably got 20
days lroni right now."

Only one private college doesn‘t
have a newspaper. CFOSblC said, and
those students will be notified by
some other llltlélllS. which was not
specified.

it the ads are not printed soon,
Crosbie said the students could lose
the lawsmt on a technicality.

The possibility also crusts that the
insurance issue Will not be settled in
the courts, Crosliit said.

A bill that would repeal the health
insurance mandate has been pro-
posed by Rep. Ernesto Scorsone (D-
Lexmgtoni, and the General Assem»
bly could vote on the measure be-
fore the dispute is settled in coun.

The law mandating health insu-
rance was sponsored by Sen. Benny
Ray Bailey tlHlindman), who is a
member of the senate education
committee and chairman of the
health and welfare COIIImIIICC. Both
committees could hear the bill in
the Senate.

Bailey is still “very adamant"
about his support for the mandate
despite student opposition. said Ken
Upchurch, Faster" Kentucky Ulll‘
versity student president

Upchurch said his representative.
Senate Minority Whip Tom Buford
(R~Nicholasv'i|lci. told him the bill
repealing the law may not have to
go before Bailey's committees, but

 

Debate on
health law
continues

By GREGORY A. HALL
Associate Editor

Students hoping to repeal
the mandatory student insu-
rance law want to negotiate
with the law's sponsor, state
Sen. Benny Ray Bailey, but
Bailey appears to have heard
enough.

William Summers, the gov-
emmental affairs director for
the Board of Student Body
Presidents, sent a letter to
Bailey (D-Hindman) in Au-
gust requesting a meeting to
discuss the issue.

In a two-page reply, Bailey
did not rule out a meeting but
said he didn‘t “see any point"
in hearing the student leaders
complaints‘ about the law —
complaints that Bailey says
he has heard several times be-
fore.

“While 1 have never re-
fused to meet with any group
or any individual for any rea—
son, the many, many meet-
ings l have had with students
and university personnel on
this issue convinces me that
such a meeting would not be
worthwhile," Bailey wrote in
the Aug. 2-1 letter.

Nonetheless, the students
contacted Dianna McClure of
the Legislative Research
Council, as Bailey directed.
and a meeting has been set
for Sept. 19, Summers said
yesterday.

McClure has asked Bailey
to attend, but Bailey could
not be reached for comment
last night.

The law, passed by the
1990 General Assembly, re-
quires students taking nine
hours of course work or more
to be covered with insurance
by Sept. 1.

The required coverage
must pay H days‘ hospitali-
7adon, 50 percent of hospital
physicians' fees and emer-
gency room costs if the per-
son is admitted.

Two students filed a law-
suit in Franklin Circuit Court
on Aug. 5. challenging the
constitutionality of the insu-
rance law.

Judge Joyce Albro granted
the two students an injunction
against having to obtain the
insurance while the suit is lit

instead could go before the banking
and insurance committee

Regardless, the board plans to
lobby Frankfort With cards, letters
and a rally at the Capitol during the
upcoming regular session of the
General Assembly to voice student
concerns.

The board also agreed to lobby
Frankfort and the US. Congress for
more funding for student financial
aid programs.

“Financial and across the nation
leaves out the middle class, to at.
extent," Upchurch said. “The mid-
dle class pays he brunt of the taxes
in the nation but they don't receive
the benefits of it.“

‘Star Trek’ celebrates 25 enterprising years of television

By SCOTT WILLIAMS
Associated Press

As everybody knows, the 23rd
century began 25 years ago — Sept.
8, i966 —— when the classic science
fiction series “Star Trek" and the
starship Enterprise blasted into the
warp space that is prime-time TV.

Its five-year mission? “To seek
out new life and new civilizations."
Its split infinitive? “To boldly go
where no man has gone before."

Series creator Gene Roddenberry,
who sold the idea to Paramount Pic-
tures as “ ‘Wagon Train' to the
stars," wanted more than space op-
era. He wanted stories about the fu—
ture that connected with 20th centu-
ry people.

The Enterprise was commanded
by Capt. James Tiberius Kirk (Wil-
iiarn Shatner), ably seconded by his
Vulcan science otficer, Cmdr.
Spock (Leonard Nimoy), and the
dour ship's doctor Leonard McCoy
(DeForest Kelley).

Kirk who called himself a diplo-
mat and explorer, was nevertheless
ahandsome, rugged, sometimesim-
pulsive he- -man who could slug it
out with alien bad guys or pitch
woo to humanoid she-cuties from
wildly exotic gene pools.

Spock, with pointed ears, slanted
eyebrows and an emotionless, logic-
driven philosophy, was a perfect
balance for Kirk, and ”Bones"
McCoy, a passionate humanist. was
(i K‘CTTCCT {\Tll i‘lll Si’mt'rs.

“Star Trek" focused on these
strong characters. It equipped them
with the faster-than-light “warp
drive,“ laser-descendant beam
weapons called “phasers” and dev»
astatingly powerful “photon torpe-
dos“

The cast was multiracial, imply—
ing that eventually we would out~
grow racism. And even if the wom-
en did wear miniskirts and function
in secondary, sometimes helpless
roles, at least they were aboard, do-
ing responsible jobs.

The story lines, though some»
times fantastic in terms of plot lines
and hard science were very rele-

vant to 1960s social issues. One epi—
sode, about an overpopulated world,
very gingerly raised the question of
birth control.

vives today as “The Cage," a two-

parter with Jeffrey Hunter as the
Enterprise skipper), Majel Barret,
Roddenberry's then-wife, played
Number One, the ship's emotionless
executive officer.

But the times were not yet right
for women in command. She was
written out, surfacing later as head
nurse Christine Chapel, and Spock
replaced her.

“Forget the 23rd century," said
writer David Gerrold, whose screen-
play “The Trouble with Tribbles" is
widely regarded as one of the sc-
ries‘ finest hours. “ ‘Star Trek is

.it-uui U\. itnitiy.

The original “Trek" had a memoir
able supporting cast, with James
Doohan as Scotty, the chief engi-
neer Cmdr. Montgomery Scott;
helmsmen Lts. Sulu (George Takei)
and Chekov (Walter Koenig); and
communications officer Lt. Cmdr.
Llhura (Nichelle Nichols), whose
name means “freedom."

Its special effects were crude by
today‘s standards and killingly ex»
pensive by the '60s‘. A really good
TV monitor still reveals the outlines
of the matte paintings on which the
stars fly by the Enterprise in the
opening titles.

“You look at the original show,“
said Gerrold, “and the seams are
showing now, after ‘Star Wars' It’s
25 years old. The episodes cost
$180,000 each. and that was expen-
sive at the time

“They wally had to sweat in try-
ing to save every nickel. The imagi-
nation had to be in the stories be-
cause you couldn‘t do it with
effects."

Despite all this, “Star Trek" was a
glorious failure.

slots. It won its highest ranking,
52nd, in its first season. Despite the
fans, known as Trekkies or Trek-
kers, the series was canceled in
1969.

Since then, if nothing else, “Star
Trek" has proved the durability of
the future. It has become a fran-
chise.

Its 79 episodes — called Trek
Classic by the cognoscenti — still
are in syndication worldwide and
have earned billions for Paramount
Pictures' television unit.

In 1979, the first of five :Star
Trek" movies opened in theaters. A
sixth opens in December. Boosted
by the movies‘ success, the fran»
chise returned to television in 1987.

The hugely successful syndicated
series “Star Trclc The Next Genera-
tion" kept its split infinitive but fi-
nally got the politically correct ties»
tination, “where no ONE has gone
before."

Trck Classic was a mirror of its
times, and so is “Star Trek; The
Next Generation." It's set about 80
years after the original. featuring a
bigger, faster, sleeker Enterprise
and an ensemble cast,

“I think television has become a
bit more sophisticated and, as a re-
sult, has become a bit more cym—
cal." said Rick Berman, co-
producer of “Star Trek: The Next
Generation."

“We are far from a cynical show,
but I think we are far more realistic
than the original, more angst-ridden
than the original,” he said. “But i
think this is a reflection of televi-
sion. as opposed to a reflection of
‘Star Trek.‘ "

Not every fan of Trek Classrc was
taken with the new approach, in-
cluding Gerrold, who also wrote the
first draft of the new show's
“bible," the scriptwriter‘s guidelines
for the show and its characters

“In many ways, I think Picard is
unfit for command. I think he sur-
rendered his ship four times in the
first season," said Gerrold, who had
a well-publicized falling out with
Roddcnberry, who is said to be ail~
ing and was unavailable for an in

Now the Cats will take what they
learned from their 2320 we. oyer
Miami tobiol Saturday night in
Commonwealth Stadium and try
and burld on it.

Although the Cats tl-tHll got the

good. What were supposed to be
strengths of the team. were weak-
nesses. and vice-versa

“Coach Curry told us after the
game that a team makes its biggest
improvement between its first and

weeks to improve before their Sept.

“We have an enonnous amount

Perhaps the biggest strength the
tats had entering this season was
the offensise line. With four of live
starters back this season including

be a bright spot this season. But
they had there hands full with the

It you were one ol the 515(k)
fans at Commonwealth Stadium
Saturday nzcht. you were surely
thinking the same thing l am right
lit)“.

Pipe Dream

Every season starts the same way
for every team in every spon. re-
gardless of how good or bad they
really are: hype, hype and more
hype. And it was no different for
the Cats Saturday night

This season they're better adapted
to Coach Bill Currys system, eve-
ryone said

“We JUSK don't lose under the
lights at home," they said.

"We‘ve got Mr. Football. Damon
Hood," they gloated

And soon.

The claims are dtflercnt every
year, but they serve the same piir»
pose —-—~ to give the players and the
fans a shining hope. The diflerence
this season is that everyone scents
to be eating this stuff up

Saturday night's 23-20 victory
over Miarni (Ohiol added fuel to the
fire. Let's just hope no one is sick
enough to start saying, “We‘re un-
dcfcatcd."

I hate to be the cynic. but some-
one has to keep our feet on the
ground. Don't get me wrong. Hope
is a strong and mystical force in
sports. But not strong enough to get
us into the end zone against the
stronger and tougher teams we will
face in the near future

Keep in mind that this was Miami
of Ohio we )ust barely scraped by.
not the Miami Hurricanes.

But here they were. not Just play-
ing UK, but in a position to beat
them. And we're not talking about
early in the first half. Curry had to
sweat out the fund minutes of the
fourth quarter of the game.

Sure Brad Smith looked great.
