Thomas wins
Supreme Court
nomination

By JAMES ROWLEY
Associated Press

WASHINGTON Clarence
Thomas won Senate confirmation
for the Supreme Coun last night on
a 52-to-48 vote, overcoming explo-
sive accusations of sexual harass-
ment to become the second black
justice in history.

With cmeial help from Southern
Democrats, Thomas will take his
seat as the 106th justice. a staunchly
conservative successor to one of the
court's last liberals.

The vote ended one of the angri-
est, most emotionally charged con-
firmation battles ever.

Thomas said he wanted to put the
ordeal behind him.

“This is more a time for healing,
not a time for anger or for animus
or animosity,” Thomas said, stand-
ing outside his house with his wife,
Virginia, under an umbrella in the
rain.

“I guess in so many ways, as I say
to my wife so many times, I'd like
to thank America," said Thomas,
who rose from rural poverty in
Georgia to prominence in govem-
merit.

Thomas had been accused by law
professor Anita Hill of making un-
wanted advances and humiliating
her with lewd remarks a decade ago
when she worked for him at the Ed-
ucation Department and Equal Em-
ployment Opportunity Commission.
Her surprise charges brought an
abrupt halt to the Senate's plans to
vote on Thomas’ nomination a
week ago.

Thomas emphatically denied the
charges and complained he was the
victim of a “high-tech lynching."
The nation was transfixed as the ac-
cusations were spelled out in explic-
it detail and debated in nationally
televised hearings.

Even while voting for Thomas,
Sen. Nancy Kassebaum (R~Kan.)
one of the two women in the Sen-
ate, said he will “live under a cloud
of suspicion he can never fully es-
cape."

Immediately after the vote, Presi-
dent Bush called Thomas with con-

WASHINGTON —— Sen.
Robert Byrd (D-W.Va.) yes-
terday became the first sena-
tor to publicly oppose Su-
preme Court nominee
Clarence Thomas‘ confirma-
tion based on hearings into
sexual harassment allega-
tions. He charged Thomas
displayed arrogance and re«
sorted to intimidation of his
opponents.

“That kind of arrogance
will never get my vote,"
Byrd said.

“I believe Anita Hill,"
Byrd said, adding that he in-
tently watched the televised
hearings where Hill present-
ed her accusations of sexual
harassment against Thomas.

Byrd, the former majority
leader, is presrdent pro tem
of the Senate. He had been
counted previously as unde-
cided but said on the Senate
ﬂoor that he had intended to
support Thomas before the
sexual harassment allegations
arose.

In a long and impassioned
speech, Byrd said Thomas'
performance raised serious
questions about Thomas' ju-
dicial temperament and abili-
ty to function as a judge. He
expressed amazement that
Thomas, a federal appeals
court judge, said he did not
even listen when Hill pre«

Bikers a hazard to pedestrians, students say

By JOE BRAUN
Staff Writer

Bicycling is a fast, efﬁcient way
to and from classes at UK.

Although interior design fresh-
man Jennifer Menke agrees with
this statement, she said she proba-
bly would add the phrase dangerous
to pedestrians to it.

Menke, while walking to class.
was hit by a bike this year after a
cyclist was riding too fast and ran
into her.

“Bikers try to go through people
real fast on their bike and end up
hitting students walking," she said.

She said the problem can be alle-
viated by “having certain sides of
the sidewalk for bikers to ride on.“

Duane Long. like Menke, hasn‘t
had good experiences with bikers in
the past.

Long, a freshman education ma-
jor, also was hit by a bike. Al-
though the rider yelled "coming
through" and Long moved. he still
was struck by the passing cyclist.

He said the cyclist was in a hurry
and didn't even stop to apologize
for hitting him.

Bikes don't slow him down be-
tween classes, but they do pose a
hazard to pedestrians, he said.

He said bicycles are a nuisance to
students because “they get in the

way."

Brent Barton, an undeclared
freshman, tries to watch out for pc-
destrians when riding his bike to
classes.

“I try to give people the right of
way because they are walking and
it‘s going to take them longer to get
there anyway."

Barton said he believes its “much
faster“ to ride a bike to classes de-
spite the hindrance of pedestrians
and construction on campus.

He also said that he almost has
been hit btxause bikers go too fast.

Also, because of the location of
his classes, construction on campus
doesn't affect his ability to ride his
bike.

Sean Lanham, an accounting
freshman. said he would not ride a
bike to class but thinks riders who
don't pay attention to the road are
hazardous.

“I have this constant fear in the
back of my mind of being hit by a
speeding bicyclist who‘s not paying
attention," he said.

Brent Barton,
undeclared freshman

“I frequently look over my shoul-
der when walking to class," to
make sure he doesn‘t get hit.

A lot of his friends ride bikes to
class, Lanharn said. “They get there
faster, but they have to worry about
chaining it up or someone stealing
it."

Capt. Ben Anderson, of the UK
Police Department, hasn't noticed
an increase in the number of acci-
dents involving bikes or complaints
about bicyclists.

“Without checking the record,
there‘s been no increase," he said.

Anderson said bicycle theft re-
cently has increased.

“We had a little surge — a couple
of weeks ago, we had some stolen."

He said the problem “usually oc-
curs in streaks" when people decide
to steal bikes.

Barton said there are not enough
places around campus to secure
hikes. especially around Kirwan
Tower.

UK Spotlight Jazz: a tradition of excellence

By JOHN DYER FORT
Staff Writer

The Spotlight Jazz series, which
has become a musical tradition
since its inception in 1978, has
committed itself to bringing some
of the ﬁnest musicians in jazz to
campus, and has earned a national
reputation for excellence.

The series is sponsored by the
Student Activities Board Spotlight
Jazz Committee and the Office of
Minority Student Affairs.

Past seasons have featured jazz
greats Dizzy Gillespie, Sarah
Vaughn, the Pat Metheny Group,
Wynton Marsalis. Chuck Man-
gione, Bobby McFerrin, The Chick
Corea Elektric Band and Tito
Puente. The series has attracted jazz
enthusiasts from all over Kentucky
and surrounding states.

This year promises to be no ex-
ception. The Spotlight Jazz series
for 1991-92 will feature Diane
Schuur, Frank Morgan. Hiroshima
and Marcus Roberts.

Schuur follows the jazz tradition
of Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald
and Sarah Vaughn.

Frank Morgan is regarded by
many, including Wynton Marsalis.
as the greatest living alto-
saxophone player today. He‘s the
heir apparent to Charlie “Yardbird”
Parker. Morgan, a former drug ad-
dict and prison inmate, was featured
in Jane Pauley‘s ﬁrst prime-time
special on people who had turned
their lives around.

Since 1979, Hiroshima has been
one of the most popular bands on
the contemporary jazz scene. The
band combines ancient Japanese in-
struments with a high-tech synthe-
sized sound. The result is an East-
meets~West, old-meets-new cross
cultural musical experience.

Pianist Marcus Roberts has been
on his own in addition to playing
with Wynton Marsalis. The 27-
year-old has gained critical acclaim
for his first three albums. including

his last, Alone With Three Giants, a
tribute to jazz greats Jelly Roll
Monon, Duke Ellington and The-
lonius Monk.

“This series has a rich history,"
said Chester Grundy, director of the
Ofﬁce for Minority Student Affairs
and one of the series’ founders.
“We're known not only for being
consistent, but the quality and cali-
bre of performers has always been
high.”

The series began after Grundy or~
ganized a performance by the Yusef
Lateef Quartet in 1976, the first
large jazz concert in the area.
“There was a misconception that
there was no significant jazz audi-
ence in Lexington," Grundy said.
"The concert was a sellout and
drew people from the entire re-
gion."

In I978, the Office for Minority
Student Affairs joined forces with
the Student Activities Board to pro-
duce an annual series. The purpose
of the series, while drawing nation-
ally acclaimed jazz artists, is to ex-
pose listeners to a broad range of
jazz styles and expressions.

“We want to speak to the tradi-
tion of jazz as well as to those on
the cutting edge." Grundy said.

For Grundy, the Spotlight Jazz
series is a labor of love.

“For some people it’s a job, for
me it‘s a calling," he said. “It’s a
privilege to acquaint the American
people with their greatest art form.

“These are our classical musi-
cians and they have devoted them-
selves to serious music," Grundy
added. “The world recognizes jazz
as great music but if you look at
most college music curriculums,
European music is a central part of
it. Jazz is peripheral. But to Black
Americans, it‘s central.”

“Jazz is one of the greatest art
forms this country has produced.
It's distinctly an American music.
It’s our classical music,” Grundy
said.

“To get somebody interested is
like second nature.” he said.

“Let me get you to one concert
and you will be a jazz fan, you will
be a jazz follower," he said. “There
is something magic about what hap-
pens at a live performance.”

Grundy, the Ofﬁce of Minority
Student Affairs and the SAB Spot-
light Jazz Committee have collabo-
rated successfully over the years to
earn a first-rate national reputation.

“People talk, musicians talk, and
they hear this is a nice place to
play. They get treated well,"
Grundy said.

chairman Andy Haymaker, a life-
long jazz enthusiast, is excited
about his first series. “The UK Jazz
Series is one of the original jazz se-
ries in the country," said Haymaker,
a finance junior. “The UK Jazz Se-
ries is the standard by which other
programs are judged."

Production of the series is the ef-
fort of the Spotlight Jazz Commit-
tee and SAB assistant director,
Anne Balest.

“Hiroshima was playing in Wash-
ington, DC. at $25 a show," Hay-
maker said. “Frank Morgan plays
the Village Vanguard and The Bird-
Iand in New York City and sells out
every time he‘s there. And we have
them for $8 to $10 each."

Despite the bargain prices, the
Spotlight Jazz Series has prospered
“We have people coming in from
Ohio, West Virginia, Indiana and
Tennessee, " Balest said.

The Spotlight Jazz Series has be-
come a collaborative effort of stu-
dent and staff support as well as au-
dience and artist participation.
Balest hopes to make more jazz art-
ists available for local workshops in
the future.

“Last year, Tito Puente did a per-
cussion workshop," she said. “It's
pan of the educational aspect of the
series.”

learn “the art of booking the art of

up and security arrangements,"
Grundy said.

Wimout a doubt. this year’s se-
ries promises to deliver another sea-
son of electric, spontaneous and in-
spired jazz by some of the music's
leading players.

“To play, create and listen at the
same time...it plays on a different
level of creativity, 3 different level
of genius than playing from a writ-
ten sheet of music," Grundy said.
“It‘s not like entertainment. It’s like
inner-attainment."

son with the first of four concerts

features two-time “best female jazz
singer" Grammy Award winner,
Diane Schuur. Schuur will be
backed up by UK‘s own award—
winning Jazz Ensemble, with Miles
Osland directing.

For many among jazz circles to
day, Schuur is destined to become
the next queen ofjazz. Her music is

sung in the tradition of other female
jazz greats but Schuur’s style is en-
tirely her own. Sunday’s perfor-
mance will be a chance for local
jazz enthusiasts to see the once and
future queen while she’s still a fresh
princess.

Schuur, 34, is young by jazz stan-
dards and currently at the peak of
her career. She goes on tour after re-
cording her latest album Pure
Schuur, which features songs that
run the gamut from jazz to pop.

Schuur, blinded after birth when
the incubator she lay in delivered
too much oxygen, has a new out-
look on life. Much of it is prompted
by a weight loss of over 100
pounds. The enthusiastic Schuur ap-
pears to be a woman entering an ex-
citing new phase of her life.

Schuur won back-to-back Gram-
my Awards as “best female jazz vo
calist" for her albums Timeless and
Diane Schuur and The Count Basie
Orchestra. She has appeared with
Willie Nelson, Frank Sinatra, Tony
Bennett and her idol, Ray Charles.

Sunday’s performance may be
this year’s high-water mark for the
Jazz Ensemble after a flood of ac-
claim from across the country.

The ensemble recently won the
“Outstanding Jazz Ensemble"
award at the University of Notre
Dame Jazz Festival, the most pre-
stigious collegiate competition in
the country. The ensemble’s latest
recording, Cruisin', available on
cassette and compact disc, won four
stars in Downbeat magazine.

To top it all, the Jazz Ensemble
was invited to the 1992 Montreaux
Jazz Festival in Switzerland, one of
only ﬁve or so bands selected from
North America.

For director Miles Osland, back-
ing up Schuur will be equally as
sweet. “The music is incredible.
I‘m looking forward to directing
and playing. The Ensemble will
come out and play a few pieces and
then Diane will come out," Osland
said.

One of the most appealing as-
pects of Schuur's music to Osland
are the musical arrangements.
Schuur uses “Some of the best ar-
rangement writers in LA. Her book
is like a who‘s who of arrangers."
Osland said.

The involvement of the UK Jazz
Ensemble may be the beginning of
more Spotlight Jazz and student
collaborations.

“This is the first time we've been
involved with it," Osland said. “I
hope to do it again in the future."

“I’m real happy as a conductor
and as an educator to have the op-
ponunity to let my students play
(with Schuur) ” Osland said

The combination should prove to
be a Schuur-ﬁre double dose of ex-
traordinary jazz.

Diane Schuur will perform with
UK Jazz Ensemble Sunday night a!
8 in Memorial Hall. Tickets are

dents. For more ticket information,

performance."

Before the show, however, Jor-
dan insisted the Bulls are a five-
man band rather than a one-man
show.

“This is not a one-man team,“ he
told the gaggle of huddled report-
ers, “this is the Chicago Bulls
team."

Still, basketball fans consider him
the lead singer.

“They're the world champions,"
said Seattle coach K.C. Jones, “and
he‘s the one who led them there."

While last night's concert may
have been set to the thumping beat
of a basketball bouncing off the
ﬂoor. Jordan‘s first three numbers
were all string music.

The North Carolina native fol-
lowed his first score with a crowd-

raising jam and another sweeping
riff that slipped through the strings.

Jordan said that living in the spot-
light with thousands of devoted
fans can be trying.

It's quite tough to lead a normal
life," he said.

“You've just got to be ready to
deal with the public, deal with the
fans."

Count UK Athletics Director
C.M Newton among Jordan's devo-
tees.

Newton was the assistant coach
on the 1984 Olympic basketball
team, the star of which (surprise,
surprise) was No. 23.

“He was just unbelievable." New-
ton said. “A great person to be in-
volved with and a great person to
coach."

As a collegiate out of the Dean
Smith “Conservatory" at the Uni-
versity of

North Carolina, Jordan had all
the makings of a star.

"I thought he would be an unbe-
lievable player," Newton said. “He
had the talent, had the competitive
drive, the toughness, all the things it
takes to be a great player.”

Jordan has lived up to his early
reviews. Twice named the NCAA
player of the year, he also has
topped the chans as NBA Most
Valuable Player, Defensive Player
of the Year and MVP of last year’s
NBA ﬁnal vs. the Los Angeles Lak-
ers.

All that has translated into mil-
lions of NBA and endorsement dol-
lars for the man some fans consider
basketball‘s virtuoso.

But for some Jordan fans, like 9-
year-old Martinae Commodore,
millions of metaphors didn’t mean
as much as the chance to watch him
perform.

“1 want to see Michael Jordan,"
he said as he scurried toward the
arena doors.

“He’s cool."

“It was reversed because the pres-
idents wanted it reversed.” said
Shannon Morgan, IFC president;
“We made the decision taking into
consideration what the IFC Board
as a whole wanted, as well as the
appeal of Sigma Pi."

The Rush Enforcement Commit-
tee found two beers in a room at the
Sigma Pi house during dry-nish pe-
riod.

The Judicial Board made its deci-
sion based on this information and
previous alcohol-related offenses
made by Sigma Pi, said Jim Krus—
pie. J-Board chairman.

The fraternity had been brought
before the Judicial Board for having
alcohol in its house during spring

gratulations. Thomas had watched
the vote on television at home in
Alexandria, Va.

“You’re a wonderful inspiration
and you had the overwhelming sup-
port of the American people," Bush
said. according to press secretary
Marlin Fitzwater. “You have a life-
time of service to your country
ahead. Well done." Barbara Bush
also got on the phone to congratu—
late Thomas.

In Oklahoma, Hill said she was
satisﬁed she had been “able to go
out and tell what I knew true." She
also said she was pleased that na-
tional awareness of sexual harass-
ment had been raised.

“What I hope is that none of this
will deter others from coming for-
ward. This is an imponant issue and
the dialogue will not stop here," she
said.

Thomas’ conﬁrmation strength-
ens an already solid conservative
majority on the court, where liber-
als will be outnumbered 7-2. The
court is likely to continue moving
to the right on issues such as abor-
tion, separation of church and state
and the rights of criminal suspects.

“It‘s a sad day for civil rights, for
the Supreme Court and for the
American people," said Ralph
Neas, of the Leadership Conference

on Civil Rights, a coalition of 180
organizations that opposed Thomas.

With the outcome in doubt until
the final hours, Vice President Dan
Quayle mshed back from a political
trip to Ohio to sit as the presiding
officer and cast a tie-breaking vote
if necessary. It wasn‘t needed.

The visitors' galleries were
packed but hushed as senators rose.
one by one. to cast their votes.

It was an uneasy decision for
many senators, forcing them to
judge between the irreconcilably
different stories of accuser and ac-
cused.

Thomas won confirmation with
support from 41 of the Senate's 43
Republicans and II Democrats:
Sens. Sam Nunn, Wyche Fowler,
Charles Robb, J. James Exon, Alan
Dixon, Richard Shelby. John
Breaux, J. Bennett Johnston, David
Boren, Ernest Hollings and Dennis
DeConcini.

Sens. James Jeffords and Bob
Packwood cast the only Republican
votes against him.

It was the closest vote for a suc-
cessful Supreme Court nominee
since 1888 when Lucius Q. Lamar
went onto the bench on a 32-28
vote.

Three Democrats who had sup—
ported Thomas before Hill's charg-
es were made public switched sides
and voted against him: Harry Reid
and Richard Bryan, both of Nevada,
and Joseph Lieberman of Connecti-
cut.

U of L’s Swain won’t discuss raise

Associated Press

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — University
of Louisville President Donald
Swain says he won‘t discuss the 22
percent pay raise he received in
July until he gets fomial inquiries
from employees.

Swain also said that he won‘t
comment on whether he is con-
cerned about the effect of his large
pay raise on faculty and staff mo-
rale. His salary went from $127,279
last year to $155,(X)O this year.

Swain’s comments, delivered
Monday through spokesman Dan
Hall, were in response to a report-
er‘s question about the faculty sen-
ate‘s vote last week challenging
Swain to explain why he accepted
such a large raise.

“This is an issue between the fa-
culty senate and me," Swain said in
a prepared statement “It would be
proper for me to respond at the next
meeting of the faculty senate where
I can answer their questions and in-
quiries in a personal and direct
way."

percent maximum increase availa—

pay hike was 8 percent.

A federal appeals court judge in
Washington, Thomas was nominat-
ed to succeed retired Justice Thur-
good Marshall, the first black on the
high court.

Court sources said Thomas likely
would be swom in next Monday
morning.

Hill‘s charges, which resulted in a
week's delay in the confirmation
vote, defined the final hours of Sen-
ate debate. All but forgotten were
the early battle lines, in which
Thomas‘ supporters emphasized his
rags-to-riches story and opponents
characteri/ed Thomas as insensitive
to women. the elderly and fellow
minorities.

"If we make a mistake today the
Supreme Court will be living with it
and the nation WIII be living with it
for the next 30 to 40 years," argued
Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-
Mass.) “That is too high a price to

doubt to Judge Thomas is to say
that Judge Thomas is more impor-
tant than the Supreme Court."

However, Democrats J. James
Exon of Nebraska and Alan Dixon
of Illinois said Hill failed to conclu-
sively prove her allegations against
Thomas during three days of Judici—
ary Committee hearings.

“The person being accused gets
the benefit of the doubt," Dixon
said. “Judge Thomas is entitled to
the presumption of innocence."

Exon said both were credible,
Hill in making accusations and
Thomas in denial.

“Unfortunately in my view, the
hearings have not provided any
overall conclusive facts or definite
truth.“

In the absence of such proof,
Exon said he would give the nomi-
nee his vote “without enthusiasm,"
adding, “Judge Thomas will be a
better justice as a result" of the or-

In an impassioned speech, Sen.
Robert Byrd (D-W.Va.) said he had
been prepared to vote for Thomas
but changed his mind after watch-
ing Hill on television.

“Why should we give the benefit
of the doubt to him?“ Byrd said. “If
there is a cloud of doubt, this is the
last chance."

“I believe Anita Hill,“ said Byrd,
the Senate‘s president pro tempore
and former Democratic leader, re-
jecting suggestions by Republicans
that she had fantasized her story, or
made it up for some reason.

He said that Thomas, by charging
that he was the victim of racist at-
tacks, ‘intendcd to divert both the
committee’s and the American pub-
lic’s attention away from the issue
at hand.”

Republicans continued to assail
Hill's credibility. “In my judgment,
the weight of the evidence supports
Judge Thomas," said Sen. Arlen
Specter (R-Pa.), who led the ques-
tioning of Hill during the extraordi-
nary weekend hearings.

Specter tangled on the Senate
ﬂoor with Kennedy after the Mas-
sachusetts Democrat denounced
Republican treatment of Hill, in-
cluding Specter‘s allegation that
she had committed perjury.

Thomas was the first high court
nominee to win Senate confirma-
tion without the endorsement of the
Judiciary Committee, which re-
fused on a 7—7 vote to recommend
his confirmation.

“We're finally putting our foot
down and setting a precedent. Fra~
temities are going to know what
happens if they screw up." Kruspie
said.

Chris Mussler, who made the ap
peal, said penalties placed on Sigma
Pi by the Judicial Board were too
severe for a msh infraction. Howev-
er, the fraternity is accepting penal<
ties imposed by the Executive
Board.

“We did not see (the J-Board rul-
ing) as being a fair penalty,“ said
Mussler, secretary of Sigma Pi.
“We are pleased the appeal went
through and upheld. We‘re accept
ing the penalties." he said.

Sigma Pi appealed the J-Board's

decision because an individual fra-
ternity member was responsible for
alcohol present. Mussler said. And
alcohol was not distributed to ru-
shces, he said.

“The beers were in a person’s
room on the third floor," he said.
“The room was locked. There was
no chance for a rushee to get in
there.

“No one knew he had this beer. It
was the sole actions of this mem-
ber," said Mussler.

This was the first time the new
appeals process was used by IFC.

"It is a good process because it
allows the fratemity‘s peers to dic-
tate what happens to them," Mor-
gan said.

making the allegations."

Thomas chasuscd the Senate Ju-
diciary Committee, particularly the
Democrats, for failing to question
Thomas seriously.

“I sat there and wondered who
was going to ask him tough ques-
tions," Byrd said.

Byrd denounced Thomas’ sug—
gcstion that racism was behind the
allegations. Thomas, who is black.
had called the hearings “a high-tech
lynching."
