DHAHRAN, Saudi Arabia — On
call and on edge. U.S. and allied
troops awaited the fateful “go" or-

Pilot Visits
UK, says
U.S. ahead

By NICK COMER
Staff Writer

A jet fighter pilot who spent four
months in the Persian Gulf as part of
Operation Desen Shield said Friday
he was confident that Iraq’s air
force is no match for the technology
of American weapons systems.

In an interview on campus, Lt.
Commander Casey A. Gagan, an F-
14 pilot stationed aboard the aircraft
carrier USS Independence. said the
superiority of the U.S. air force has
come as no surprise to him.

“In an all-out air war, the technol-
ogy of the U.S. aircraft is such that
you can see the results immediate-
ly," he said. “With our technology
we are able to eliminate (Iraqi
planes) before they get off the
ground.”

Gagan, who was in Louisville and
Lexington last weekend, came to
UK to speak at the Febniary meet-
ing of the Midshipmen’s League.

“Iraq was talking tough initially
but with the hammering effects
of the Stealth and Tomahawk weap—
ons systems, we never really had
any competition in the air," he said.

“If you have all the toys, you
might as well use them."

ney, who also spoke at the meeting,

meanwhile “the war goes on."
On land and sea, preliminary spar-

ring went on.

President Bush's spokesman,
Marlin Fitzwater. said the Soviets
did not ask Bush to hold up any war
action while Soviet President Mika-
hil S. Gorbachev’s proposal was
considered in Baghdad — but just
not to comment on the plan.

Earlier yesterday, the White
House said the best hope for forcing
Iraq out of Kuwait was “conflict in

the air and on the ground."

American gunners pounded Iraqi
positions with artillery fire. Iraqi
mines afloat in the Persian Gulf
damaged two U.S. Navy warships
—— a billion-dollar missile cruiser
and a Marine assault ship. And an
American pilot went down deep in-
side Iraqi-held territory, to be
plucked to safety by U.S. rescue
helicopters.

Computer speeding up mail for soldiers in gulf

By WM. DARIN NASH
Staff Writer

“Letters From Home," a system
for sending computerized mail to
troops in the Persian Gulf, kicked
off its free service yesterday at
Turfland Mall.

Six IBM PS/l computers were set
up in the center of the mall, which
will be used this week to send elec-
tronic mail to military personnel
from family and friends in Central
Kentucky.

U.S. Rep. Larry J. Hopkins ini-
tiated the program. In a recent visit

to Saudi Arabia, he heard numerous
complaints from military service
personnel about the lack of mail,
Hopkins said in a brief kickoff
speech.

“People have been bitching since
World War I about mail not getting
to the troops," a spokesman for Lar-
ry Hopkins said. “So, why not use
current, existing technology and
send electronic mail?"

A letter will be typed into the
computer and sent to Saudi Arabia
in three days. Traditional letters
have been taking as long as three to
four weeks to reach the troops, if

The problem is that about 80 tons

Anti-discrimination laws

By JULIE ESSELMAN
Senior Staff Writer

Anti-discrimination laws are a
“mistake and probably should be re-
pealed," a legal scholar said in a
speech at UK yesterday.

In the first lecture of the Bicen-
tennial Lecture Series on the Bill of
Rights, Richard Epstein, the James
Parker Hall Professor of Law at the
University of Chicago, spoke on
"The Constitutionality of Anti-
Discrimination Laws."

Epstein, who has studied an eco
nomic analysis of legislation and
the Constitution. said that some
form of anti-discrimination laws,
like assuring voting rights and pub-
lic accommodation, “is absoluwa
indispensable."

However, he said that in the area
of employment relations, anti-
discrimination laws fall outside the
traditional scope of federal govem-
merit power and may even lead to
more. rather than less, discrimina-
tion.

Epstein did not say anti—
discrimination laws are unconstitu-
tional, but that they are not in keep-
ing with the original intent of the
Constitution.

“This is utterly at various with
the original plan (of the Constitu-
tion)," Epstein told about 50 people
at the Worsham Theatre. “You
could never have it ratified back in
1787."

“I think they are a mistake and
probably should be repealed," he
said, adding that his argument was
“not an effort to run for public of-
ficc."

Epstein said that the original
“commerce clause" in the Constitu-
tion restricted federal government
power to interstate commerce, not
individual business within states.

State governments would be re-
sponsible for measures to prevent
discrimination or exploitation, m

“If anything, the statute has had
exactly the opposite effect" by lead-
ing to more oven discrimination, he
said. Anti-discrimination laws
“would have been struck down
without a second thought by both
federalists and anti~fedcralists."

Advocates of these statutes held
an attitude that “govcmnient knows
best so we can impOsc these
kinds of rules,“ Epstein said. “The
federal government has landed us
into a world of plenary and un-
checked federal power."

He said the natural workings of
the open market would prevent dis-
crimination in employment relations
because market forces would make
businesses eventually change dis-
criminatory policies.

'Without anti~discrimination laws,
there would be higher wages for
workers and less discrimination to-
day, Epstein said.

Overtly discriminatory employ-
ment practices, he said, “are not
likely to survive in the market-
place.“

The Shammys

You won’t find much originality at the Grammy Awards

By CUFF RADE!
College Information Network

Suppose they passed out the
Grammys and nobody showed

That‘s an intriguing concept
And. obviously, one that appeals to
Sinead O'Connor.

She's skipping Wednesday
night‘s 33rd Annual Grammy
Awards.

And with good reason.

O'Connor won't say so, but the
nominees are too tepid for her
tastes.

And mine, too.

The list of nominees is dominated
by the technically proficient, emo-
tionally barren mainstream pop of
Phil Collins, Wilson Phillips, Mari-
ah Carey and MC. Hammer. These
namby-pamby middle-of-the-
roaders account for a combined 21
nominations. They are odds-on fa-
vorites to be the big winners when
they start handing out the golden
gramophones 8 pm, tomorrow on
stage, at New York City’s Radio
City Music Hall, and on TV via
CBS.

For the record, O‘Connor says
she’s passing on the Grammys be-
cause awards shows epitomize the
erd’s “misguided materialism.“

Hog wash. That’s not the real rea-
son. O’Connor showed up at the
1990 MTV Music Video Awards.
She also attended the American Mu-
sic Awards on Jan. 28. Evidently,
1152: Irish singer didn‘t think these
shows were too misguided in their
m‘aterialism.

At first, she felt the same about
the Grammys. O'Connor let her
name be put on the nominations bal-
lot. As a result, she is up for four

 

COMMENTARY

Grammys, Record of the Year, Best
Pop Female Vocal, Best Alternative
Music and Best Short-Form Video.

Despite her actions, O‘Connor
could still be a winner Wednesday.
She announced her boycott — “If I
were to win an award, 1 would feel
(it) necessary to decline it" —- after
most of the votes were cast by the
Grammys' electorate, the 6,000
dues-paying members of the Na-
tional Academy of Recording Ans
and Sciences, a music-industry or-
ganization dominated by conserva-
tive non-music-making sorts.

O'Connor is not avoiding the
Grammys because awards shows
are misguided, immoral and bad for
your teeth. The real reason — and,
it’s not because she has to stay
home and wash her stubble — is
because she’s allergic to plastic
P0P.

And there’s plastic a’plenty at
this year’s Grammy awards from
Collins, Carey, Hammer and Wil‘
son Phillips.

-Collins, a six-time Grammy win-
ner, leads the plastic pack wrth
eight nominations. Besides five
lower-profile categories, the con-
tents of his “But Seriously" album
are vying for the Grammys' big
three, Album, Record and Song of
the Year.

Performers like Luther Campbell and Warren Zevon are too bold for
the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences.

New Artist.

-Hammer’s “Please Hammer
Don’t Hurt “Em” took rap from the
gutter to the mainstream by spend-
ing 21 weeks at the top of the charts
and selling 10 million copies as the
nation‘s biggest selling album in
1990. He made rap safe for the
masses — i.e. white, middle—class
America. Like those shrink-
wrapped glasses in hotel bathrooms,
Hammer’s raps have been “sani-
tized for your protection." These ac-
complishments put the rapper in the
running for four races: Record and
Album of the Year plus Best R-and-
B Song and Best Rap Solo Perfor-
mance.

This unremarkable slate of nomi-
nees came at a bad time for the
award that purportedly honors ex-
cellence in recorded sound. After
last year's Best New Artist, Milli

Vanilli, was exposed as a pair of
lip-syncing f s, the Grammys‘
prestige took a vere beating.

The Milli Vanilli fiasco occurred
as the Grammys’ long-abused for-
tunes were on the upswing. The
awards show received a big credi-
bility boost at the 32nd Annual
Grammy Awards where the big
winners were Bonnie Raitt and real
music.

Raitt swept the Grammys in 1990
winning four statuettes. including
one for Album of The Year. This
triggered an interest in real, comput-
er-free music blues, folk, Cajun and
seasoned rock from veteran, unap-
preciated performers such as Raitt.
It also helped Raitt’s bank account.
Her career-making “Nick of Time"
album sold 800,000 copies before
the Grammys. After her Grammy
victories, the album went to No. 1

and passed the 2 million mark in
sales.

The Grammys‘ prestige soared
with Raitt's record sales. Then
along came Milli Vanilli and this
year’s Grammy contenders.

The Grammys didn't need this
lackluster list But it couldn’t be
helped. The eligibility period cov-
ered by the 33rd Annual Grammy
Awards, Oct. 1. 1989 to Sept. 30,
1990. was marked and marred by a
dearth of rock 'n' roll and a wealth
of antiseptic music.

No one made a blockbuster rock
album between the fall of 1989 and
the fall of 1990. There was nothing
from Bnice Springsteen and his
peers. And, no new rock act came
forward to take their place. Rock
was so unpopular in 1990, no rock
band had a No. 1 album. The last
year that happened was 1963.

What the public was buying and
what the Grammys bought was Col-
lins, Hammer, Carey and Wilson
Phillips. Their slick, computer-
guided recordings score direct hits
on the charts with all the deadly ac-
curacy and compassion of the smart
bombs the Air Force drops on Iraq.

Watching the videos of those
bombs’ handiwork is like listening
to the music of Collins, et al. It’s no
fuss, no muss. It’s easy to follow.
It’s not challenging. It’s painless
and it doesn't last long.

That‘s the sound of popular music
in the '903.

To the Grammys, that sounds like
a winner.

The Grammy Awards will be tele-

vised at 8 pm. tomorrow on WM-
27.

Vanilla Ice samples only the very best

Associated Press

NEW YORK — After legal bat-
tles for writing credits on his first
two hit singles, you’d think rap star
Vanilla Ice might be a little gun-shy
about sampling other people's
records.

Say this abogt Ice: he samples
only the best —'i or at least the best
selling. His monster hit “Ice Ice
Baby” lifted from the Queen-David
Bowie smash “Under Pressure"; his
follow-up, “Play That Funky Mu-
sic," used music and vocals from
the 19705‘ Wild Cherry hit single.

Ice Capader also includes a track
called “Satisfaction," based on the
Rolling Stones classic guitar riff.

Mick Jagger had initially nixed
use of the song, but he changed his
mind when he saw how many
records Ice sold, the rapper said.
“Show people dollar signs, and eve-
rybody changes."

Amazingly, lce’s reworkings
have sold more than the originals.
His debut album, To the Extreme,
has hit 6 million and counting as the
Iceman heads out for his first head-
lining tour. Ice Ice Baby became the
first rap single to hit No. 1 on the
Billboard pop charts.

“My record company told me,
‘You do the record, we'll deal with
everything,’ ” said lce, whose fol~
low-up is due in March. “So I do
the record and perform it. I don't
sweat the other part I let my law-
yers handle that."

A settlement was reached for Ice
Ice Baby, and talks are currently un-

der way with Rob Parissi, the sing-
er-songwriter behind Wild Cherry.
Parissi is actually pleased with Ice’s
success, although upset about the
lack of songwriting credit he's re-
ceived.

“1 really like the fella. God bless
him," Parissi said of Ice. “1 really
appreciate everything that‘s going
on. I think it's the advice that’s
given him. I mean, that song is
mine, 100 percent. Anybody’s
grandma knows that. "

Of course, sampling is only part
of the controversy surrounding the
overnight success of Ice, whose de-
but album has topped the Billboard
charts for the past several weeks.

There’s the matter of his official
record company bio, which once
made mention of attending high
school with Luther Campbell of the
2 Live Crew and contained other
questionable details. Currently, a
small note at the bottom of his bio
reads “(revised)”; Campbell is not
mentioned.

Adkins’

recording
out of the
wilderness

 

MUSIC
REVIEW

 

'PEANUT BUTTER
ROCK & ROLL'
'MOON OVER

MADISON"

Hasil Adkins
Norton Records

 

By J.S. HOLLAND
Staff Critic

Once upon a time in the dark
days of the early 19508 and in
the dark forestlands of West Vir-
ginia, there was a kid named Ha-
sil Adkins who was ready to
take rock ’n' roll by the neck
and wring it — like a chicken
for dinner.

Never mind that rock 'n‘ roll
didn‘t exist yet, at least by that
name; Adkins was already ahead
of his time. His out-of—tune gui-
tar and idiosyncratic sense of
rhythm transformed the country
and folk tunes he performed into
pure, manic rock 'n’ roll.

Initially under the impression
that popular recording artists
like Hank Williams actually
played all the instruments on
their records, Adkins trained
himself to play simultaneously
the guitar, washboard, harmoni-
ca and a drum set. He then be-
gan writing songs and recording
them on his primitive tape re-
corder.

Adkins still lives deep in the
wilderness of West Virginia and
is still churning out these home-
made recordings. Country, folk,
blues, rockabilly, surf, avant-
garde noise — all these elements
blend to form some of the pur-
est, strangest, creepiest rock 'n’
roll ever heard. No exaggera-
tion, no hyperbole; you must
hear it for yourself.

Norton Records signed Ad-
kins several years ago, and he
has released albums of material
from his vast archives. as well as
brand new recordings from a
New York studio. Norton recent-
1y released not one, but two al-
bums of prime vintage Adkins:
Peanut Butter Rock and Roll and
Moon Over Madison.

Peanut Butler's focus is on
Adkins’ faster, house-rockin‘
stuff: cover versions of “Blue
Suede Shoes" and “Let it Rock";
great swingin' rockers like
"Took My Baby Out" with its
haywire bottleneck slide guitar
and Ray Stevens-ish comical
voices, “If You Wanna Be My
Baby," which sounds like Chuck
Berry with radiation poisoning,

(1 “Come On Along," which
was salvaged from a late ’503
demo record pressed on card-
board and features two of Ad-
kins’ many girlfriends on back-
ing vocals.

The extraneous noise, along
with the already distorted re-
cording quality, augments the
music rather than detracting
from it — not unlike classic
blues 78 RPM records.

Moon Over Madison dwells
on Adkins’ darker side. It is a
frightening collection of eerie
slow songs with predominantly
depressing lyrics. Bmce Spring-
steen’s Nebraska pales by com-
parison.

There‘s “By the Lonesome
River," with lots of spooky gui-
tar reverb. It leaves y0u with the
feeling that Adkins is about to
jump in and end it all.

“1 Had A Dream About You"
is an echoey chiller with beer
bottles tapped as chimes. “This
ADC." is a lament of poverty.
and “Commodity Meat and Pea-
nut Butter Is All I Eat" has beau-
tifully primitive blues lead licks.

“Love Taker" is an absolutely
primal piece in which Adkins
forlomly wails and howls like a
wounded animal and months a
guitar solo. The title track, re-
corded in 1989, shows that Ad-
kins‘ style and spirit haven‘t
been eroded by time in the
slightest.

Adkins played a show in
Louisville, Ky., some time ago
to great audience response, and
he may do so again quite soon.

Bat Cats stop Pirates
in flashback to 1990

By AL HILL
Senior Staff Writer

Last season the Bat Cats came
out hot with an “-1 first-
month slate — the lone loss com-
ing at the bats of a late Armstrong
State University surge in the sec-
ond game of
the three-team
1990 Savan-
nah Shootout

The Pirates
came back in
that game
from a 10—0
deficit going
into the ninth,
when they
punched UK
pitching for 11
runs in the top of the inning for a
victory.

For a moment this past Satur-
day, it looked as if Savannah
Shootout history might repeat it-
self.

But UK — behind stopper
Lorhn Frazier —- held on this
time, overcoming Armstrong
State's eight-run eighth inning to
beat the Pirates 10-8. The win al-
lowed coach Keith Madison‘s Bat
Cats to begin the season with a 3-
0 record.

“It’s always good to open up
early," UK baseball coach Keith
Madison said.

“I was pleased with all aspects
of our team — our hitting was
good and our pitchers did an
exceptional job."

The Bat Cats won their season
opener Friday. 7-1, over Augusta
College.

In that game the Cats sopho-
more battery of ace pitcher Rod-

FRAZIER

 

ney Henderson and catcher 13in
Thompson delivered the big
blows.

Henderson held Augusta Col-
lege to only one run in six in-
nings. UK had a two-run lead go-
ing into the seventh inning when
Thompson tripled with the bases
loaded.

The second game was the
team’s rematch against the Ann-
strong State Pirates.

UK came out early, teeing off
on Pirate pitching, to take a 9-0
lead. But in the eighth inning the
Bat Cats found themselves in a
flash back into last season.

The Pirates scored eight runs in
the bottom of the eighth inning, to
pull within one run, 9-8.

In the top of the ninth sopho-
more center fielder Paul Corum
hit a solo homer that turned out to
be the game’s winning run.

Frazier, a sophomore right
hander, was able to nail down the
victory in the ninth and pick up
his first save of the season.

The save preserved the victory
for starter Scott Smith, who went
six innings without giving up a
run.

Junior first baseman Mike Har-
ris supplied most of the offense,
going 3-4 on the day, with two
448-foot homers.

The Bat Cats completed their
Savanna Shootout sweep with a

Men’s tennis team nails
Bearcats and Cardinals
during weekend matches

By DENVER BROWN
Staff Writer

The UK men‘s tennis team got
back on the winning track this
weekend after suffering the first
spring loss to Tennessee.

The Cats smashed the Universi-
ty of Cincinnati on Saturday and
beat the University of Louisville
on Sunday.

Both road victories are helping
the Cats get geared up for this
week‘s National Team Indoor
tournament in Louisville.

UK defeated the Bearcats at
The Four Seasons Raquet Club in
Crestview Hills by a score of 9—0.
The six singles and three doubles
victories improved the Cats' sea-
son mark to 5-1.

“Everyone is playing extremely
well for us right now,” said UK
head coach Dennis Emery. “We
are playing faster surfaces to pre-
pare for the National indoors this
week."

Leading the Cats against UC at
No. 1 singles was junior Scott
Hulse, who turned back Brett De-
Curtains 6-2, 6—4.

The Cats then traveled to
Louisville to take on the Cards.
Once again. the Nth-ranked Cats
were too powerful for their oppo-
nents. UK won 8-1 as they swept
doubles and won five of six sin-
gles matches.

UK’s only loss came at No. l
singles when freshman Mayhar
Goodarz lost to Andy Shreker (r
3, 7-6.

UK recorded wins from Mike
Miringoff, Alex DeFeiipe, John
Yancey, Ian Skidmore and Steve
Mather at singles.

Again, the Cats captured all
three doubles matches. Junior
Sammy Stinnett returned to the
UK lineup at the No. 3 doubles
spot. Stinnett had been Sidelined
for last season and the beginning
of this season with a hip injury.

With only two weeks left in con-

LSU to be the favorites to finish on
top, whether it be official or unoffi~
