CAE to help recruit
students over break

By GEORGE GEDDA
Associated Press
WASHINGTON —— The nuclear
arms treaty signed by President
Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail S.
Gorbachev is a milestone in super-
power relations but does nothing to
address what some experts see as a
more fundamental cause of U.S.-So-
viet tensions.

“The arms race is the symptom
and political rivalry is the disease."
says William H. Luers. a Soviet af-
fairs expert and former foreign
service officr.

In a recent article. Luers noted
that of all the crises the United
States and the Soviet Union have
faced since World War II — both
small and large — only one has di-
rectly involved a controversy over

nuclear weapons. That the
Cuban missile crisis.

All the others have involved at—
tempts by one side or the other to
expand its influence or to prevent
the other from doing so. a pattern
that continues to this day. This com-
petition has turned many a Third
World country into a bloody battle-

field,

While Gorbachev has been exhort-
ing Americans to strive toward an
improvement in relations. several
administration analysts expressed
doubt that. with the possible excep-
tion of Afghanistan. this week's
summit will produce any headway

was

in the range of conflicts in which
Washington and Moscow have a
stake.

Soviet and American weapons are
arrayed against each other in such
places as Central America. Angola
and Cambodia as well as Afghani-
stan. The Soviets have provided
Libya. a target of a US. military at-
tack last year. with a huge arsenal
of weapons.

Nuclear arms are not at issue in
any of these conflicts and were not a
major factor in any of the previous
post-World War II arenas of compe-
tition. ranging from Vietnam to
Korea to Berlin to the Middle East.

Former Secretary of State Henry
A. Kissinger has warned that it
would be a mistake to assume that a
mere personality change in the
Kremlin would reverse more than

Coke rep.
explains
formulas

By THOMAS J. SULLIVAN
News Editor

On the average. most Americans
consume 680 eight-ounce servings of
it every year.

It contains extract from the coca
(cocaine) plant, and Carlton Curtis
is. in essence. a dealer of it.

No, it's not an illegal drug, it‘s the
real thing — Coca-Cola.

Curtis, assistant vice president for
corporate communications at Coca-
Cola’s Atlanta headquarters. spoke
last night to Liz Shear‘s public rela-
tions class and other interested
“Coke-ologists."

Curtis told a story he says he‘s
told many times before —— the story
of Coke‘s formula change.

“For the first year and a half or
so following April 23. 1985. I never
received a speaking engagement in
which people didn't want me to talk
about New Coke," Curtis said.

April 23, 1%5. is the day Coke re-

placed the original Coke with New
CokeJ-‘rom that date until July 11.
tees. the original recipe for Coke
was not being produced.

“That period generated more pub-
licity than any other story in histo-
ry,"oirtissaid.

And Curtis said the publicity
didn't create a pleasant situa-

tion.People were upet, he said.

“I think that if someone chal-
lemed the flag in front of you.
mearirg to take it away from you.

CARLTON CURTIS

this loyalty that has been imide of
you would well up and you would ex-
plode,“ Curtis said.

With Coke it was the same way ~
“an emotion welled up in people and
they exploded.“

Consumers wanted the original
Coke back.

Curtis ° .id calls poured in at the
rate of 400,000 a day for an eight-
week period. not including the let-
ters.

One letter sent to the corporate
heads read. “Dear sits. please sign
on your respective line at the bottom
of this letter and send it back to me.
I think there will be some future
value to having the signatures of the
two stupidest men in the world."
Curtis said.

“This was a protest move." Curtis
said. A protest which lead to the re
turn of Coke‘s original formula.

Sugar colas on the whole were de-
clinirg for so years before this. Cur-

thiile basketball coach Eddie Sut-
ton has enjoyed recent success in
luring top recruits to UK. Collegians
for Academic Excellence is likewise
hoping for a banner crop.

CAE. a service organization made
up of about 75 students. will be re-
cruiting prospective L'K students
during the Christmas break.

More than half of its members. in
cooperation with the admissions of
t'ice. are expected to take part in the
effort. according to Tom Wade. aca-
demic recrunment director.

(‘AE plans to have its members
return to their high schools to work
with guidance counselors and ad-
ministrators in setting up appoint-
ments to meet with potential L'K
students

The goal of this program is to help
l'K bring in some of the top students
troiii across the state and to let
them know what L'K has to offer

Wade said this was “another way
we‘re hoping to get students here to

L'K.” He also noted that this gives
high school students an added oppor-

tunity to hook up with l.'K because

"a lot of students feel they don't

know where to go for information
because UK is so big.”

The organization has a handful of
members from out of state. but its
efforts during the holiday break will
be aimed at contacting high school
students statewide. said Leslie
Popplewell. vicechairperson of
(‘AE

Popplewcll is enthusiastic about
t'AE‘s involvement with the recruit-
ing of students.

Safety for handicapped
discussed in meeting

B) DOL'G TATTERSHALI.
Contributing Writer

Just over a month ago. Kandy
Lewis. a handicapped UK student.
was killed while crossing South
Limestone Street. But for the aver
age driver and pedestrian. the im-
pact of the tragedy has already less~
ened. said Jacob Karnes. director of
Handicapped Student Services.

But while Karnes said the general
public has forgotten the accident.
some people concerned with campus
safety have not.

Lexington-Fayette Urban County
Councilwoman Debra Hensley. who
represents L'K‘s district. has formed
a committee to look into traffic safe-
ty. particularly for the handicapped.
The committee. made up of UK Stu-
dent Government Association mem~
bers. Metro and campus police and
other campus and local officials.
met for the first time on last Friday.

The committee focused on north
and central campus. looking at
speed limits. traffic signals. cross-
walk locations. sidewalk conditions.
ramps and law enforcement for pos-
sible ways to improve transportation
conditions for handicapped students.

The committee specifically

ad-

dressed the area around Holmes
Hall. where a lot of handicapped stii
dentslive.

An area of broken sidewalk lll
front of Tolly H0 and the L‘niversity
Club is one reason students iii wheel
chairs cross Limestone near McDon-
ald's rather than at the corner
crosswalk. said Kim Lehman. Siis‘i
senator-at-large, Lewis was crossing
toward McDonald's when he was hit
byacar.

Although the committee plans to
meet two more times before making
any recommendations. four possible
actions have already been dis
cussed.

0 Placing ramps at all corners
Many corners. built before ramps
were required. lack ramps. and
some existing ramps are either bro-
ken or difficult for the handicapped
to use. But because of the high cost
of complete reconstruction. it may
be impossible to replace all of the
ramps,

- Repairing sidewalks. City ordi-
nances require that sidewalks be
maintained by the owner of the
property adjacent to that sidewalk.

. Enforcing traffic laws Hensley
said blocked crosswalks and turns

SccSAH l‘\ . Past '

Crum’s pregame excuses a lot of hot air

When Denny Crum was just a wee
bit bigger than a cardinal. his father
gave him some good advice.

“My dad told me ‘Don‘t major in
minors.‘ “ the Louisville coach said.

He didn‘t. He didn‘t major in psy-
chology either. But that hasn‘t
stopped him from practicing it.

The weather in Lexington this past
week has been unseasonably warm.
No wonder. Hot air has been blow-
ing up Interstate 64 since Sunday.

Kentucky and Louisville resume
their intra-state showdown Saturday
at Rupp Arena. if you‘ve been lis-
tening to Crum. you may wonder
why.

“I mean. they ought to beat us by
50 or 55." Crum said. “lf they don't.
then we‘ve got a moral victory."

Puuuuuuuleeeeeeeeeze.

What in the name of Jock Suther-
land is golng on here?

Building up your opponent is a
pregame psychology ritual of every
coach. But Crum has cranked it up
to a ridiculous level.

Fifty points.

Maybe 55. Hear that CBS?

UK coach Eddie Sutton ought to
buy a sympathy card and have all
his Wildcats sign it. Surely they
won't beat on such defenseless
birds.

Crum is trying to pull the red
feathers over everybody‘s eyes be-
cause a lot of eyes were watchirg
his Cardinals Saturday. What they
saw was igly. Notre Dame romped
Louisville, ”-54.

UK followed the opening act at the
Big Four Classic with a gutty over-
time victory over defendim national
champion Indiana.

The Louisville defeat dropped the
Cards out of the Top 20. The UK vic.
tory propelled the Cats to the top of
the polls. Both are reasons you
didn‘t wear your winter coat yester-
dav.

"We're not under that much pres-
sure against Kentucky.“ Crum said.
“They‘re ranked No. 1 in the nation.
They got three or four All-Ameri-
cans sitting on their bench. They‘re
playing in their place.

“From our position. there‘s really
no downside for us because we‘re
not supposed to beat the No, 1 team
on their floor."

The position Crum is putting his
team in is the best position of all.
The Cardinals can‘t lose Saturday.
Kentucky can‘t win.

If Louisville comes to town and
plays well -— which it will — the
Cardinals will probably lose by eight
or to points. That would make Crum
look great. His poor Cards should
have been thrashed by half-acco-
tury. But they hung tough with nu-
mero uno. This would be the “moral
victory.“

There can be no victory for UK. If
the Cats do drill the ‘Ville by 50.
they should have. if Kentucky wim
by a couple. it didn't play well. For
this reason. Sutton has retaliated
with some psychology warfare of his
own.

DENNY CRW

"From what l've read. it would
seem that everyone is leading the
people to think that it‘s going to be a
blowout." Sutton said. “Believe me,
it's not going to be a blowout.

“i don't know if the great wizards
in Vegas have put a line on the
game or not. but I‘ll be surprised if
it‘snotvery close."

Sutton is probably correct in his
odds. Surely. he‘s closer than Crum.
Louisville is not as bad as it played
in the Hoosier Dome. Don‘t be sur-
prised if the Cats have to scratch
and sweat as much as they did
against the Hoosiers.

“We know that they've got excel-
lent basketball players.“ Sutton
said. ”They‘ve got some high school
All-Americans tliemselves.‘

Which makes Crum‘s talk even
more outrageous. This isn‘t St
Louis This is Louisville But their
coach wouldn't let you know it
Crum. who pleaded for this game
for so long. is now hoping for just a
“moral victory . "

“Since we're not supposed to win.
let‘s just go up there and have fun
and learn." Crum said.

“If I was worried about winning
or losing, we wouldn‘t be playing
nearly this many top teams. My job
is to get my team ready by tourna—
menttime."

Then why waste everybodys time
Saturday? Why keep score it you're
not concerned about it'.’ Why not
play a free exhibition? Why not play
the stupid game in March —— at
“tournament time."

Sutton has chosen his pregame
worth like he‘s walking through a
mine field. And for good reason.
Last year he stepped on a mortar
when he referred to Louisvdle as
“little brother.“

But at least Sutton didn't try and
downplay a game that means so
much to basketball junkies in the
Commonwealth. He never tried to
cast a haze of foggy baloney.

“i don‘t think that kind of com-
ment helps.“ Crum said about Sut-
ton‘s“brother"reference.

Neitherdoyours. Denny.
