As far as Chancellor Robert
Hemenway and Vice Chancellor
of Administration Jack Blanton
are concerned, not many people
at UK have any frustrations.

At least that‘s the signal they
got yesterday.

The two administrators sat
from noon to 1 pm. at the Stu-
dent Center to “cut through the
red tape” for those who donated a
dollar to the UK United Way
campaign.

In the hour the two were there,
several students and staff mem-
bers stopped by to say hello and
donate a dollar, but few had any
serious complaints.

One staff member who came
up to the table jokingly asked if
anyone had complained that it
cost too much to complain.

Dean Gosncy. an electrical en-
gineering senior, said he thought
people might not have stopped
by because they were intimidated
by talking to two of UK's top-
level administrators.

Blanton said while he was glad
he did not receive many com-
plaints, he had hoped to raise
more money for the United Way
effort

“I was pleased that there were
not more frustrations, but l was a
little disappointed that we did not
raise more money," Blanton said.

Cutting the redmtape

IICHAEL CLEVENGER/ Kernel Stffa

Chancellor for the Lexington Campus Robert Hemenway talks to Curtis Godchaux at the “Tell it to
the Chancellor" table during yesterday's United Way fund—raiser outside the Student Center.

Blanton and Hemenway receive
few complaints about UK red tape

menway about a personal
problem he was having.

“This is a good idea. You
could charge more, and people
would still come and tell their
problems," he said.

Mark Rucker, a political
science senior, said he thought
more people did not air their
grievances because the event
was not well-publicized.

Rucker said if the UK admin-
istration had more time, holding
more events like the one yester-
day could help improve its im-
age with students. “lt is a whole
new concept. Everyone thinks
they stay locked in the Adminis-
tration Building, and this shows
that they really do care about
students."

 

 

SGA Senate rejects
bill for housing march

By MCHAEL L JONES
Editorial Editor

The Student Government Associ-
ation Senate defeated a bill to send
20 UK students to the Oct. 7 Hous«
ing Now march in Washington,
DC, by a 17-10 vote last night

The vote on the bill came after
an amendment sponsored by Sena-
tor at Large Ashley Boyd was de-
feated. The amendment proposed
that SGA donate the $1,000 asked
for the march to the Horizon Center
for the Homeless.

“I‘m opposed to spending any
money at all, but if we have to
spend money, I'd rather spend it lo-
cally,“ College of Law Senator
James Musser said on behalf of the
amendment.

During the debate a number of
senators said that they opposed the
bill because of one passed earlier
sending College of Fine Ans Sena-
tor Rob Lohman, Senator at Large
Andrew Stein and executive branch
official EJ. Bunzendahl to a leader-
ship conference in Washington dur-
ing the same time as the march.
The three will take part in the
march as part of the leadership con-

ference.

Nevertheless, Bunzendahl sup-
ported the Housing Now bill.

“We are playing the lottery for a
$32 billion jackpot,” she said, re-
ferring to the amount Housing
Now is asking Congress to allocate
for national housing programs.

Bunzendahl said that giving
$1,000 to help the 800 documented
homeless in Lexington would be
like giving “$1.25 per homeless
person."

“That is three times less than any
of you spend on a lunch at this
University, " she said.

In other action the Senate also al—
located $2,400 for Alcohol Aware-
ness Week, including $850 for a
magician.

“You just gave $850 for a magi-
cian, and you couldn’t give $1,000
for 20 students to lobby for the
homeless," UK student Vish Bhatt
said to the Senate during members‘
privilege.

SGA President Sean Lohman did
not attend the meeting because he
was in Washington meeting with
Kentucky Sens. Wendell Ford and
Mitch McConnell. In his absence

Bush, governors meet -
to reform U.S. schools

By CHRISTOPHER CONNELL
Associated Press

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. —
President Bush sat down with the
nation’s gov-
ernors at an ed-
ucation summit
yesterday, sum-
moning them
to forge “funda-
mental chang-
es" in a nation-
al school
system wracked
by drugs, high
dropout. rates BUSH
and mediocrity.

Governors circulated a memo
outlining their own goals for the
educational summit, the first ever
conducted between a president and
the states’ executives.

Their plan called for eliminating
illiteracy, curtailing the dropout
rate and making American students
the equal of their counterparts any-
where in the world, especially in
mathematics and science.

The summit scene was the his-
toric campus of the University of
Virginia, whose establishment was
the proudest accomplishment of
Thomas Jefferson — America’s first
“education president.” The universi-
ty is still called “Mr. Jefferson’s
school" and Bush referred to it that
way, too.

“It’s time to get on with it." said
Bush, challenging the governors to
do more than just study the issues
and to act without partisanship.
“We must decide on a course of ac-
tion: the time for study is now
over.“

One plan pushed by the adminis-
tration and welcomed by a number
of governors would allow parents
to shop around for schools, sending
youngsters to the ones they think
will educate best.

“This is a mechanism that‘s
very, very important,“ said Educa-
tion Secretary Lauro Cavazos in an
interview.

“I‘ve called it the comerstone for
restructuring," he added.

He said he would begin a whirl-
wind tour in mid—October to sell
the idea to educators in states that
will include North Carolina, Colo-
rado and California, conducting
hearings during the day and meet-

ing with working parents at night.

Before leaving Washington, Bush
told reporters that he was looking
for commitment from the govemors
“to make those fundamental chang-
es that are needed if we are going to
improve educational performance.”

Controversy over federal spending
rumbled just below the surface, but
a number of govemors said it would
not be a major issue at the meeting.

Bush said he was not prepared to
“quintuple spending."

Gov. Bill Clinton of Arkansas, a
Democrat, conceded, “We do not ex-
pect a big increase in federal fund-
ing to flow out of this summit

“Millions of Americans cannot
read, some never even make it to
graduation, dropping out of school
and society as well." he said.
“Drugs have invaded our class-
rooms, violence has entered our
schoolyards, and clearly the enligh-
tened America dreamed of bv Thoma
as Jefferson still eludes Us "

A consensus appeared to form
quickly around a need for “national
performance goals" under which
every school’s performance could be
measured against all the other US.
schools.

“I think we will establish the fact
that we need measurable national
goals,“ Bush told reporters before
leaving Washington.

The meetings between Bush and
the governors \sere closed to the
public.

The White House said the gov-
ernors wanted that arrangement in
order to facilitate candid exchanges.

The touchy funding issue. mough
not being pressed, was raised by
Democratic (Liv. James J, Blan-
chard ot Michigan in an “open lct-
ter" to Bush.

“We do not come to rattle a tin
cup but ‘we cannot afford to have
our education revenues ‘blcd‘ by the
federal goveminent." Blanchard said.
saying the federal government was
retreating from ”s role.

But money : not the issue, for-
mer New Hariipshirc Republican
Gov. John Sununu. now Bush‘s
chief of staff, said. "We‘ve got to do
it smart. we‘ve got to do it right,"
he said. "Our problem I\ not mon-
ey, our problem is using the money
that is there effectively."

Lohman also referred to the re

presidents to ask the Kentucky
Council on Higher Education to
come up with alternative tuition-
setting formulas.

state‘s student body presidents said
they would oppose any move to
tinker with the formula.

“We fought it and now it is a
dead issue," Lohman said.

 

Changing
schools no
easy task

By LEE MITGANG
Associated Press

CHARLOTTESVILLE,
Va. - What’s so wrong with
America’s schools that the
president, his Cabinet and the
nation‘s govemors must re-
treat to this quiet college
town to spend two days
searching for solutions"

After all, the nation is
pouring $353 billion into ed-
ucation. That‘s $5,246 per
pupil this year, 29 percent
more in real, inflation-
adjusted dollars than in 1981.
according to federal estimates,

But all that money and a
decade-long clamor for at hoof
reform seem to have hardly
dented the national deficit in
what students know afoot the

UK instructor pens
antique signatures

By REBECCA MULIJNS
Contributing Writer

Joe Nickell can sign other peo-
ple‘s John Hancocks as well as he
signs his own.

Nickell, a UK English instruc-
tor, pens such noted signatures as
Benjamin Franklin and John Han-
cock as a hobby. He also detects
t‘orgeries, updates documents and
collects a variety of antique writing
materials.

"Forgen'es add spice," he said.

Several pieces of his collection
will be shown through Saturday in
the Peal Gallery of the Margaret l.
King Library North.

Nickell began collecting antique
writing materials about 10 years
ago. In addition to works from the
20th century, he also has collected
items from ancient Egypt and Bab-
ylonia that will be on display.

One of the more valuable pieces
is a small Babylonian clay tablet
that Nickell said is the receipt for
beer. The exhibit also includes an
anCicnt Egyptian religious frag-
ment from the “Book of the Dead."
a collection of spells ancient Egyp-
tians buried with their dead to lead
them safely to the afterlife.

Some items in the exhibit are
more humorous than historical.

Nickell has a “wide-mouthed ce—
ramic hound dog from the 1950s
that once held a damp sponge to
blot ink." While it may be more
common and less valuable than
other items in the exhibit, Nickell
said he values it.

“I am interested in things people

have used for writing throughout
time, not only the rare," he said.

Most of the exhibit includes
items from the Revolutionary War
period to the 20th century. A 17th
century quill pen and ink stand, and
a large ink stand similar to one
owned by Thomas Jefferson when
he lived at Monticello are among
the items displayed.

Nickell said 17th century letters
were folded in such a way that en-
velopes were not necessary. The
letter opener became useless when
the envelope was invented, he said.

Nickell said his interest in writ-
ing materials hasn‘t stopped at col-
lecting. He also does calligraphy,
creates his own ink recipes and de-
tects forgeries.

He said he began detecting forger-
ies in college. A document’s age or
authenticity can be revealed by
viewing water spots on the paper
under a microsc0pe, N ickell said.

The "Antique Pens of a Feather"
exhibit in Peal Gallery is open 8
a.m.- 4:30 pm. today and tomor-
row; and 9 a.m.- noon Saturday.

Matsuda’s character only depth in ‘Rain’

By TIM FOGLE
Stat1 Critic

After the United States dropped
atomic bombs on Japan, black
rain fell over large areas of the
Japanese countryside for days.
The rains poisoned the population
and future generations, manifest-
ing itself in disease and birth de-
fects on one end and exploding
into an intense hatred for Ameri-
ca on the other.

Or so goes the premise of
“Black Rain," the atmospheric
cops ’n’ guts thriller starring Mi-
chael Douglas as everybody‘s fa-

vorite character - a New York cop.

It seems the New York and Jar»
anese mobs are in cahoots in a
big counterfeiting deal, and just
by coincidence Douglas and his
partrter are hanging around when
something goes awry.

Sato, a brash young Japanese
gang member (Yasuka Matsuda)
breaks in on a meeting, takes one
of the $100 counterfeit plates (re-
puted to be the best in the world)
and stabs one gangster and slits
the throat of another.

After a short chase. Douglas
thinks he’s collared a simple dou-
ble-murder suspect, but is forced

to give him up to Japanese au—
thorities. Douglas and his partner
Charlie (Andy Garcia) escon Sato
to Tokyo and unknowingly turn
him over to some of his gang
buddies disguised as cops.

Douglas takes the escape as a
personal challenge and sets out to
right the wrong.

But the real star of “Black
Rain" turns out to be Yasuka
Matsuda as the despicable Sato.

Without ever speaking a word
of English. he creates one of the
best screen villains since Arnold
Schwarzeneggar in ‘Tenninator."

Cocky, smirking and defiant,

Matsuda is the perfect counter-
point to Douglas’ rugged, slight-
ly corrupt police veteran. Using a
knife as his primary weapon (and
watch what he does with it at the
final mafia meeting) only adds to
his threatening demeanor.

The Oriental mafia and intema-
tional counterfeiting are potential-
ly fertile ground to make a film
upon. But this film never breaks
through the surface cliches of ei-
ther one.

"Black Rain." rated R, is play-
ing at North Park and Lexington
Mall Cinemas.

Jazz band performs today

By KIP BOWMAR
Arts Editor

Jazz and big band music al-
ways have had their loyal fans,
according to UK’s Room 22
Jazz Ensemble Director David
Henderson, but he said a resur-
gence of alto saxophone in Top
40 and rap music has increased
the popularity of jazz in the last
few years.

UK will get a chance to see
the jazz ensemble in a free con-
cert featuring contemporary jazz
and big band swing at 8 tonight
in the Recital Hall of of the
Singletary Center for the Ans.

The Room 22 Jazz Ensemble
is one of two UK jazz groups
and is composed of students.
Former director Dale Warren
said the group is 18 years old.

“It’s a very select group."
Warren said. “Only 40 students
are used in the two jazz groups,
and we probably have twice that
many try out."

Henderson said the program‘s

musical selections will run the
gamut from Count Basie and
several swing tunes to the more
contemporary jazz of Bob Mint-
zer and Matt Harris.

The ensemble will feature
Miles Osland. UK’s new direc-
tor of jazz studies, on alto saxo-
phone. Osland will perform a
tune by Billy Strayhom, who
wrote for Duke Ellington's
band

Henderson said there is a par-
allel between the history of jazz
and swing and the history of
American culture.

“The study of this music is a
study of how people thought
about music at the time,” Hen-
derson said.

“When you think of Duke
Ellington or Count Basie, you
think of swing," Warren said.
“The music is much more so-
phisticated in terms of harmon-
ics and counterpoint. But we
have a lot more available to us
in terms of synthesizers.”

Put it all together and you have:

A) A bad episode of “Hunter.”

B) The plot of the new Duran
Duran video.

C) “Sea of Love," Al Pacino's
comeback film.

What do you say? 8.? No, but
that would have been my guess
too. The answer is C.

Al is back in “Sea of Love" - a
sexually charged. psychological
thriller.

You remember sexually charged,
psychological thrillers don't you?
There was “The Big Easy," "No
Way Out," “Someone to Watch
Over Me" and the champ — and
overrated — “Fatal Attraction."

“Sea of Love” has been compared
to “Fatal Attraction" by some crit-
ics, but it is far inferior to that
Close- Douglas romp.

That‘s not to say that the movie
is terrible, but as the cure goes

it’s nowhere near as good as it
could be.

The pairing of Barkin with Paci-
no won’t be sending anyone out for
a cold shower. They are about as
exciting together as Michael Caine
and Christopher Reeves were as gay
lovers in “Death Trap."

The only character who shows
any life in the film (besides Barkin.
who can bring life to anything she
doesn’t wear clothes in) is John

as Pacino’s partner. Maybe he is so
good because this whole film has a
sit-com feel; it's like a mediocre ep-

Residents don’t
need 24 hours
for visitation

Sometimes what seems like a good idea on the surface may
turn out to be more trouble than it’s worth. A case in point is
the idea to implement a 24-hour visitation policy in two of the
UK campus’ co-ed residence halls.

Morality aside, while some students have expressed a desire
to have full-time visitation in co-ed dormitories, there just
doesn’t seem to be a groundswell of support or a clear need to
open dormitories all night.

The idea was first kicked around last year by then—senators at
large Sean Lehman and Paige Foster of the UK Student
Government Association, but it was met with opposition by the
UK Residence Hall Association.

This year Lohman and Foster, now SGA president and vice
president, hope the issue gets a little better reception from the
REA.

Proponents of 24-hour visitation say that since residents pay
for their room and board they should be allowed to have
\isitors whenever they wish.

Lohman and Foster also claim that implementing 24-hour
visitation in two co—ed dormitories would increase safety
standards, which they say could be improved upon.

While most who live in co-ed residence halls are legal adults,
they must realize that by choosing to live in a dormitory they
are giving up some rights. Having 24-hour visitation could
create uncomfortable situations among roommates, leading to
“roommate disenchantment,” as the residence life folks refer to
it. As UK administration officials said recently, the University
cannot be everything to everyone, and 24-hour visitation is
such a case.

The argument that safety would be improved by
implementing 24-hour visitation is a bit puzzling.

Residents in dormitories with 24-hour visitation would be
given a master key to the front door, Foster said, and visitors
would have to sign in and be escorted to residents’ rooms.

But handing out master keys to all residents would seem to
increase the possibility that a key could fall into the wrong
hands. Furthermore, 24-hour visitation would mean that more
residence advisers would have to be on staff during the
graveyard shift - surely an exciting idea to all RAs.

If students have a problem with current visitation policy,
then perhaps something could be done to expand them by a
couple hours rather than opening up the dormitories all night.

Should 24~hour visitation ever become a need in
dormitories, it would appear that the RHA, who is supposed to
represent residents’ interests, would be aware of it before
SGA. While SGA certainly should lend RHA a hand if asked,
it should be careful not to step on other organizations’ toes and
alienate them against student government.

 

Housing Facts

‘1 Since 1980, Budget Authority for all federal hous-
ing assistance programs has been cut by more than 75
percent - from $32 billion to $7.5 billion a year.

\/ In 1983, nearly 10 million households occupied
housing that did not meet minimum quality standards.

«1 From 1970-1985, the number of units with gross
rents below $125 per month dropped from 15 million
to 2 million.

\/ Nearly three-quarters of low income renters receive
no housing subsidies.

Sixteen million households pay more than 35 per-
cent of its income for rent today. Eight million families
pa more than 60 percent of their income for rent.

Rent burdens among single female householders
have skyrocketed from an average of 38 percent in
1974 to 58 percent in 1986.

\/ Housing needs are so great and housing assistance
so scarce that families wait about 24 months for a Sec—
tion 8 Certificate (which allows them to get government
assistance for housing), with families in some cities
facing a wait of nearly 30 years at the present rate.

In the past eight years, federal support for low in-
come housing programs has fallen 77 percent to less
than $8 billion a year, while government subsidies for
upper-income houseowners, in the form of mortgage
tax-exemptions has grown to the $46 billion a year.

A woman’s average salary in the United States in
1986 was only 64.3 percent of the average amount
earned by males. Couple this fact with the lack of af—
fordable childcare and the increasing numbers of single
women who are head of households and you can un—
derstand the recent increase in the numbers of homeless
wymen and children.

The Federal minimum wage of $3.35 per hour has
not increased since January of 1981. However, during
that time, the cost of living has increased 32.7 percent.

\/ Aid to families with dependent children has been re—
duced more than 30 percent. The proportion of children
living in poverty has increased.

Over the last 15 years, the poorest 20 percent of this
nation’s households experienced an 8 percent drop in
annual income from $5,507 to $5.107. Howe
