No compromise found
for referendum issue

By JOE BBAUN
Assistant Editorial Editor

The Student Govennnent Associ-
ation Senate met in an unusual loca-
tion last night. and the business of
the meeting was even more unusual.

Controversy surrounding a pro-
posed referendum on election re-
forms dominated the meeting at
Lexington Community College.
Many senators have taken the refe-
rendum as an affront to their jobs by
SGA President Scott Crosbic.

The senate begzui the meeting by
voting to suspend the SGA constitu-
tion to consider a compromise by
Senator at Large Misty Weaver on
the referendum. ller bill. which
failed, called for the senate and
Crosbie to agree to the referendum
regarding most of the election rules
changes earlier proposed by spring
elections board chairman Jim
Kruspe.

The main difference between
Kruspe's proposal and Weaver‘s
was eliminating regulations on the
distribution of candidate's plat-
forms.

Weaver‘s bill also asked Crosbie
to appoint a referendum board con—
sisting of three students on each
side of the referendum controversy.

Arts and Sciences Senator Jay ln-
gle later asked Vice President Keith
Sparks to withdraw the referendum

vote would not be a fair representa-
tion of the student body.

Disputes over the Student

Board last night.

The board was asked to re-
view those election policies and
initiate reform.

SGA Senate clerk Stephen
Keller asked the board to reform
what he tenned as “a conflict of
interest" when senators running
for re-election are making elec-
tion rules.

The Judicial Board‘s decision

Senate to continue setting elec-

“As a general rule. most gov-

rules." said (‘hief Justice Ken
Walker. “To me. it seems im-
practical to say that someone
who wants to seek re-election
should not be allowed their right

would occur too close to the regular
spring elections.

lngle discussed the matter during
a debate over another referendum
proposal drafted by three senators.
The referendum would ask similar
questions but would take place in
conjunction with the regular elec-
tions.

Health insurance repeal sent to House

By NICK COMER
Senior Staff Writer

FRANKFURT Ky » A bill to
revoke the mzmdatory student health
insurance law received a boost of
overwhelming approval in the
House liducation (‘oinmittee yester-
day.

The committee forwarded the bill
to the floor of the state Ilouse ot
Representatives with only one
"tiny" vote.

(The bill's sponsor. Rep. limcslo
Scorsone (I)-I.cxington) was joined
in its presentation by student leaders-
from five state universities and the
I lK (‘ommunity (‘nllege System.

Scorsone said the problem with
the insurance requirement law.
which was passed by the IWI) (ien-
cral Assembly. is that it requires a
health care package similar to a
"small business“ package.

“Now that the university commu-
nity has had time to look at these
packages. they .see that that's not
exactly what the students need."
Scorsone said.

Scorsone presented committee
members with a letter from Kevin
Ii. (‘harlcs past president of the
MidsAmerica (‘ollege Ileallh Asso-
ciation. who called the health insu-
rance requirement law “a ‘rip-ofl"

BY ORDER OF THE AUTHOR.

Although they were given less
than two weeks and were armed
only the centennial facsimile edi-
tion of the Adventures of Huckle—
berry Finn, l3l sports columns and
the mind-altering Alka-Seltzer Plus
cold medicine, Mark Twain and
Red Smith vanquished a rogue
more ferocious and more gaudy
than Entest P. Worrell clad in Ar-
mani.

This is not a hyperbole. This is
tlte tale of UK's Kemel Sports Edi-
tm/joumalistn/and/English/senior.

Nearly 14 days ago. Twain and
Smith faced huge odds. Sports Edi-
tor/joumalism/and/English/senior
had grown deft at his craft.

His explications where accurate.
concise, inl‘onnativc — and five
pages double spaced with one-inch
margins.

; Ilis prose employed active verbs
and revealing description.

In less than 1,000 words, he
could transform any unsuspecting

NCAA athlete into a larger-than-
ES PN's-viewing-audience deity.

Ile knew who, (who‘s on first)
what. when, where. why and how.

He knew Rick Pitino.

If Sports Editor-joumalism-arxl-
English-senior had gone untea—
thered. if he had studied and be-
come learned. if he had been al-
lowed to write and publish. he
would have first:

Lured his readers with needless
insight and hindsight;

Then. needled them with veno-
mous metaphors and similes;

Artd finally, scorched them with
a cacophony (or is it euphony) of
apostrophe, allegory. analogy and
an analysis of LSU's “Freak" de-
fense — leaving readers maimed
artd trapped forever in the perilous
abyss of academic/athletic/guruism.

The rogue’s appetite for column
inches grew insatiable. He threat-
ened to end nearly three centuries
of growth in American literature.
Someone or something had to stop
Sports Editor/journalism/and/

“If only Ilomer were here."
Twain said to Smith. “he could give

But the Greek author was no-

plicably. luck catnc their way.

Sports Editor/joumalism/and/
English/senior became stricken by
the effects of a common cold. It lin-
gered for days, forcing the rogue to
take a sabbatical in his two-
bedroom attic apartment. Weak and
near writer’s block. he became easy
prey for Twain attd Smith.

volumes of anthologies of Ameri-
can literature. A footnote revealed
that he was the first sportswriter to
have his works included iii a mod-
em anthology.

Sports Editor/joumalismland/
English/senior's dream continued.
He witnessed a pair of English stu-
dents sitting at their desks with the
anthology open before them. As
the dream becatne more elaborate.
the rogue could hear the students‘
discussion.

“They included this hack with
Hemingway and Steinbeck?“ one
student asked. “Why he‘s the long-
est-winded bastard I‘ve ever read.
Now here's a sportswriter they
should have put in the anthology."

Then the student pulled a tat-
tered copy of The Red Smith Read-
er from beneath the anthology.

“Here, read this," the student
said as he passed the Reader to his
classmate. Smith‘s words were
highlighted in faded yellow ink.
The students attd the rogue read
them aloud.

“Sports is not Armageddon,"
Smith said. “They are just little
games that little boys catt play. and
it really isn‘t important to the fu-
ture of civilization whether the
Wildcats or the Razorbacks win. If

you can accept sport as entertain-
ment and write it as entertainment,
then that‘s what spectator sports
were meant to be.

“Give the reader a little pleasure.
at little entertainment. 1 had the no-
tion that people go to spectator
sports to have fun and then they
grab the paper to read about it —
and have fun again.“

Smith's words rousted Sports Ed-
itor/joumalism/and/Englishlsenior
from his dream, nearly ejecting him
from his swivel chair. He glanced at
the copy of Huck Finn lying on the
floor. sprang to his feet and dressed
quickly. Although the r0uge‘s cold
still shackled his body, sunlight was
just coming through the window
blinds, and he felt good. The rogue
had been saved.

It was Sunday morning, giving
the rogue time to write a story for
Sports Monday. 'Ihere was still
time to become a sportswriter —
besides. he still possessed half a
dozen tablets of Twain and Smith‘s
mind altering Alka~Seltzer Plus
cold medicine.

Lady Kats
blow out

Morehead;
await Vols

By ERNEST L. WRENTMORE
Stall Writer

The Lady Kats warmed up
for Saturday night‘s game
with No. 4 Tennessee by
crushing unranked Morebead
State 79-58 last night at Me-
morial Coliseum.

Kristi Cushenberry led all
UK players with 17 points.
When UK put the Lady Ea-
gles away early in the second
half, the senior guard took
charge and scored seven of
UK‘s first 17 points.

During the season. anytime
the Kats seemed to be in trou-
ble. Cushenberry started
slashing her way to the hoop
and find a way to score. Dur-
ing her spree last night, she
cattned a three-pointer and
drove through the lane for two
lay-ups.

“We could penetrate on that
team,“ Cushenberry said. “We
took whatever we could."

Morehead‘s Julic Magrane
kept things interesting by
scoring 18 points in tlte first
half —— most of those came on
spinning baseline drives. Slte
led all players itt scoring with
21 points and finished with a
game-high 13 rebounds.

UK (II-9 overall, 4-2
Southeastern Conference)
stopped Magrane after the
break by establishing control
of the lane.

Freshman Karri Koach
scored only three points, but
she was instrumental in stop-
ping Morehead (7-12. 2-6
Ohio Valley Conference) The
6-foot-4 center pulled down
nine rebounds and literally
swatted four shots.

“What I really like about
Karri is that she responds to
the challenge,” Fanning said.
Every time she walks on the
floor, she is learning.“

Christe Jordan. who started
while junior Patressa Leonard
rested an injured shoulder.
scored a career-high 14 points
and crashed the glass for eight
rebounds.

“We tried to show them we
were ready for Tennessee,“
Jordan said.

Bluesman Hooker gets a little help from friends

By ELISABETH DUNHAM
Associated Press

MILL VALLEY, Calif. -— Blues
legend John Lee Hooker put out the
call. And his friends came through.

“John calls. I come," said Bonnie
Raitt, who topped a lineup of blues
stars invited to the tiny Sweetwater
nightclub on a chilly January eve-
ning to perform with a man who
helped shape their styles. “He’s the
living history of blues artistry in the
world today."

Also lending their sounds to the
dense, hour-long concert: Albert
Collins, Robert Cray. Ry Cooder
and Charlie Musselwhite.

The show was taped by the Brit-
ish Broadcasting Corp. for a docu-
mentary to air in Great Britain in
March. U.S. cable networks likely
will air the special later this year.

Hooker one of the last living
links to the Mississippi Delta tradi-

tion of blues music, influenced gen-
erations of blues, rhythm and blues
and rock musicians.

His guitar style, especially his
signature “boogie“ groove, shows
up in the music of of 22 Top, the
Rolling Stones and others.

Just about every blues performer
draws on Hooker in some way.

Many of the musicians at the
Sweetwater concert also performed
on Hooker’s recent album, The
Healer. and participated in a large
tribute to him last year at Madison
Square Garden.

The guest of honor, however,
said he'd take a small club over the
bigger venues anytime.

“You're right there with the peo-
ple," he said in a telephone inter-
view frorn his home south of San
Francisco a few days after the
show. “You can reach out and
touch them. You can see the love.“

During the taping, the septuage-
narian bluesman brightened consid-
erably when it came time to do a
number with Raitt. He introduced

Willie Dixon buried in Chicago

Associated Press

CHICAGO — A horse-drawn
hearse bearing the body of blues
legend Willie Dixon led a proces-
sion of bands and mourners
Wednesday through the neighbor-
hood where he launched his career.

“This is what Willie would have
wanted," blues guitarist Lonnie
Brooks said of the man whose
songs were recorded by such artists
as Muddy Waters, Howlin‘ Wolf,
Elvis Presley, the Rolling Stones
and the Doors.

some of his standards, including
“Crawlin' King Snake Blues. “

The finale was a generic boogie
that all of the musicians joined in.

Hooker was bom in Clarksdale,
Miss, in 1915. He eventually
moved to Memphis. then Detroit,
where he cut his first record in
1943. Although he may be new to
many younger blues fans. Hooker
was one of the most popular blues
performers in the years after World
War II.

”He‘s kind of a parallel to (blues
musician) Muddy Waters, a guy
who had a country blues type of
background. an earthy, raw style,"
said blues authority and musician

Steve (irills. “He‘s one of these
uansition people who came into an
urban area and their music became
popular."

At his peak. Hooker was known
for his spontruieity, including high-
ly amplified guitar improvisations
and rolling vocals. His voice has
softened some over the years but he
maintains an expressive vocal style.

He considers himself serniretired
but continues to perform and still
writes songs.

“It's a talent I was born with," he
said, “not something you dream of
or learn in school."

University Studies Program re—
quirements, like Tom 'l‘roland‘s as—
tilonomy courses, are some of the
largest classes at UK. Because stu-
dents tend to get lost in the crowd.
these large USP lecture classes also
are some of the easiest to skip.

Not so with ’l‘roland‘s Astrono-
my 192 classes. students say.

History and political science jun-
ior Chris Payne said Troland keeps
students wondering what would
happen next in the class.

“Going to class was zut adven-
ture." Payne said of his experience
with Troland.

“It was like having David Letter—
man for a teacher. You never
knew what to expect. He tnade you
want to go to class."

The class involved the viewing
of quite a few slides, but Payne ——
and most of Troland‘s students —
found the slide shows entertaining.

'I'roland's astronomy slide shows
occasionally included a vacation

m

_ PERSPECTIVE
Troland’s AST 192 ‘an adventure’

slide or two slipped in for no rea—
son other than to wake students up
and keep them interested. Payne
said.

'l‘roland said he is aware that
UK‘s large lecture classes get dull.
Ile said one of his objectives is to
“relieve the tedium" in his big
classes.

Ile said he knows students have
difficulty paying attention to 50-
minrtte lectures because he Iras the
same problem. So he tries to keep
his classes at least somewhat enter-
raining.

Humor is a way to liven up his
classes. he said. mentioning the
not-so-astronomy-related slides.

“Humor is a pan of life." he said.
"I enjoy humor."

There‘s one other thing Troland
enjoys. which probably helps to
keep his his students interested in
his astronomy classes: “I enjoy
teaching the classes." he said.

Calling Trolrurd “an interesting

lecturer with an outstanding sense
of humor,“ Alan MacKellar, chair-
mzui of the physics and astronomy
deparunent, said Troland’s courses
were “obvious choices" to be iii-
cluded in a listing of great UK
classes.

"He keeps his class interested by
making astronomy both alive arid
entertaining." MacKellar said.

One way Troland keeps his class-
es interesting is by keeping them
up-to-date, MacKellar said.

“('l‘roland) is an outstanding re-
searcher in astronomy,“ he said.
“Ile bn‘ngs current knowledge (into
the classroom) to make the course
modem."

'I‘roland also is eager to assist stu-
dents. MacKellar said.

“He bends over backwards to
help his students." he said. “His of—
fice is open all day. every day."

 

 

ENG 360 examines shorter fiction

If you like to read literature but
are wary of mammoth undertak-
ings. The Short Story is for you.

Offered by llK's Department
of English. the class is an exami-
nation of shorter fiction by such
authors as Ernest Hemingway,
James Joyce. DH Lawrence, Eu-
dora Welly, William I’aulkrrer.
Thomas Mann, Anton (‘heckhov
and Vladimir Nabakov.

But what many students find so
appealing about The Short Story.
taught by English professor D.A.
Ringe. is how. with brevity and
ease, it acquaints them with
works of fiction and various au-
thors.

“It‘s easier to get to know au-
thors through their short stories.“
said Derby Newman, a secondary
English education senior.

"I didn’t think I liked Heming-
way until I read some of his short-

er works. It wasn‘t so over-
whelming, and now I think I uri-
derstand him better."

Newman added: “I had Dr.
Ringe for another class, and I ah-
solutely loved him.

“He has this way of picking the
smallest details out of a story zurd
making something meaningful
out of them.

“He put me very much at

n

ease.

Ringe. who has been teaching
at UK for 27 years, said he was
delighted and “a little bit hum-
bled“ that students view his short
story class as one of the best at
UK.

He. too. said he gets a lot out
of the class.

“I enjoy it enonnously. particu-
larly because it draws students
frotn many different places in the
University. It's something I

like to teach. and if students ap-
preciate (the class). that‘s art extra
bonus."

He said he hopes students take
away with them more than simply
a knowledge of the short story
genre and writing practice.

Students should refine the skill
of discussing the importance of
small details in works of fiction.

Newrnmr said she would rec-
ommend the class to zuiyorte.

“You Irave to like to read, but I
learned a lot more them just Irow
to read literature," she said. “1 ap-
ply it to everyday reading.“

Ringc said he plans to teach the
class for at least one or two more
years.
