SGA

holds elections

today and tomorrow

ByJOEBRAUN
EdnonalEdhor

Students begin voting today to
choose their new representatives to
UK's Student Government Associa-
tion.

Last year only 2,500 of UK's ap-
proximately 24,000 students voted
irt spring elections. But Spring
Elections Board Chairman .Iim
Kruspe said he is hoping a record
number of students will vote in this
year's election.

“My goal is for between 3,500
and 4,000 students to come out and
vote. I think it‘s realistic because of
the extended hours," Kruspe said.

This year, poll hours have been
adjusted so that more students can
vote in locations such as Margaret
1. King Library.

The large number of presidential
tickets and students mnning for sen-
ate seats also may help boost voter
turnout. Kruspe said.

“A large number of candidates
brings different groups out to the
polls," he said.

Many of this year’s candidates
have concentrated their campaign
efforts on reaching students who
say they feel disenfranchised from
SGA.

All voting machines will be ac-
cessible to the handicapped this
year, which also may help increase
voter participation, Kruspe said.
While Kruspe wants a high voter
tumout, he said first he must find
poll workers.

He has not been able to find
workers to fill all shifts for elec-
tions today and tomorrow, which
means that some voting sites may
have to be shut down at various
times. Knispe said poll workers still
are needed in the Business and Eco-
nomics Building and none had been
recruited to work in the Ag North
Building at press time last night.

“We just can‘t find anybody (to
work)," Kruspe said.

Poll workers are paid $4.25 an
hour for working.

Election results will announced
Thursday evening around 8:00 pm.
in the Center Theater. Kruspe said
the rapid results will be possible be-
cause of computer systems that are
being used to tabulate votes.

Students interested in filling the
poll vacancies can stop by the SGA
oflice in 120 Student Center.

TVRONE JOHNSTON/ Kernel Start

Scott Crosbie endorses
candidate Pete November

By JOE BRAUN
Editorial Editor

Student Government Association
President Scott Crosbie last night
endorsed SGA comptroller Pete
November in the bid to win next
year‘s executive post.

“This year’s pool of outstanding
candidates is probably the largest in
several years but I strongly be-
lieve if students want an articulate.
industrious and caring student pres-
ident, Pete November fits the de-
scription." Crosbie said in an inter-
view with the Kentucky Kernel.

Crosbie said his two semesters as
SGA president have given him a
understanding of the job's demands

and insight into who is this year's
best candidate.

Crosbie said he is particularly im-
pressed with November‘s work eth-
ic.

“He has an important sense of de~
termination about the goals he sets.
As a former ROTC cadet and frater-
nity president he has shown he is a
leader." Crosbie said.

He said November‘s emphasis on
preserving and enhancing student
services makes him more visible
and realistic than other candidates.

“I’ve seen qualities in (Novem-
ber) and ideas he has articulated
that have not come from other can-

UK Appalachian Council rejects
SGA funding for student survey

By NICK COMER
Senior Staff Writer

The UK Appalachian Student
Council last night rejected funding
for a student survey from the UK
Student Government Association,
saying the money would be inade-
quate to enable them to contact all
Appalachian students at UK.

The council questioned SGA‘s
representation of all students at UK
after receiving only enough funding
to send questionnaires to on-
campus students.

The council had sought SGA
funding to mail the questionnaires
to all UK students. including these
who live of f-campus.

The survey would question 2500
UK students from Appalachia in or-

der to “document (their) experienc-
cs both positive and negative"
while attending the University. The
project was designed to identify any
problems encountered by Appala-
chian students and seek potential
solutions, said Sarah Fannin.
spokeswoman for the council.

The council requested $365.75
last week from the SGA Scnatc to
pay for the cost of the survey. but
only $71 was approved. The ap-
proved funding would pay for print-
ing costs and on-campus mailing.
but not postage for targeted stu-
dents living off-campus, liannin
said

Because 60 percent of the stu-
dents to be surveyed live off-
campus. such a survey would be
meaningless. council members said.

“We don‘t wrun to wastc SGA‘s

Senate bill adds public financing, runoff primaries for Ky.

By CHARLES WOLFE
Associated Press Writer

FRANKFORT. Ky. — A bill to
make public financing and runoff
primaries a pan of Kentucky’s rac-
es for governor won final passage
yesterday.

Supporters said it would lower

the cost of campaigns and reduce
the influence of wealth. Republi-
cans said it would tighten the grip
Democrats already hold on state
government.

“It is the worst sort of tyranny of
the majority.” said Sen. David Wil-
liams (R-Burkesville).

Senate Bill 221 was sent to Gov.

Brereton Jones on a 25-13 vote af-
ter the Senate went along with sev-
eral significant changes by the
House.

The House had served notice that
it would not undertake a second
vote on the politically risky bill. If
the Senate rejected its amendments
and sent the bill back. the House

would let it die.

The bill would require candidates
for govcmor and lieutenant govcm-
or to run as a slate and offer public
matching funds to those who agreed
to spending limits.

It provides for runoffs when no
state gets 40 percent of the primary
vote and drastically lowers the legal

limit on campaign Contributions.

The House loosened the original
bill's restrictions on political action
committees and dclctcd it hurt on
anonymous contributions. It also rc-
laxcd some reporting rcquircmcnts

Pesei, ‘My Cousin Vinny’ exceed expectations

By TOBY GIBBS
Senior Stall Critic

With good, funny laughs-for-
laughs-sake movies being all too
rare these days, “My Cousin Vin-
ny" is a true joy. It's not perfect —
there are slow moments and some
weak. uninteresting characters —-
but it winds up being funny enough
of the time to make it well-worth
your money.

The credit goes to a gifted east
and a clever screenwriter. Joe Pesei,
playing attorney Vinny Gambini,
proves why he’s one of the most re-
spected actors working today. Mari-
sa Tomei, playing Vinny’s girl-
friend, is the surprise of the movie.
Most of all, a clever script by Dale
Launer, author of “Ruthless Peo-
ple” and “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels,"
allows the actors to shine while
avoiding the ordinary movie cliches
I was expecting. The movie was a
very pleasant surprise to me. I ex-
pected a mediocre, predictable mo-
vie of the “Vacation" or “Home
Alone" variety, With easy jokes and
one-dimensional characters. But
there was more here than I expect-
ed.

Ralph Maechio (“The Karate
Kid") and Mitchell Whitfield play

‘Silence’ sweep may

By BOB THOMAS
Assocrated Press

LOS ANGELES — Academy
members have long memories after
all.

“The Silence of the Lambs" dom-
inated the 64m annual Academy
Awards with five trophies Monday
night, including best picture, even
though it was released early in 1991
and was already available in video
cassette by voting time.

The movie's showing may help
convince studios they don’t need to
crowd all their Oscar hopefuls into
the theaters in December.

In fact. “Silence" was the first
Oscar winner for best picture to be
available on video as well as cable
at the time of the ceremonies.

Maybe this is what helped it win
over heavy campaigns for late—year
nominees “Bugsy.” "Beauty and the
Beast," “The Prince of Tides" and
“JFK."

In retrospect 7- always the best
vantage for viewing contests — it
seems that “Silence“ was the inevi-
table winner. Anthony Hopkins'
performance as Hannibal “The Can-
nibal" Lecter was one of the most
electrifying iti years. Jodie Foster’s
gutsy determination as an FBI train—

ers there‘s a lawyer in the family:
Pesei, who agrees to handle the
case despite a certain lack of past
experience in law. Pesci's efforts to
clear the two of the charges com-
prise the plot of the movie.

The commercials left me worried.
They made it look like “My Cousin
Vinny“ was going to be an attempt
to bash Southerners by making us
(or them, depending on your back-
ground) all look like illiterate, bare-
foot buffoons who drink moonshine
and marry first cousins. The movie
does have its share of stereotypes.
but unlike most movie comedies
about the South, only a few charac-
ters are ignorant or corrupt. I
thought this would be a movie
about Southerners’ efforts to hang a
murder on a couple of innocent
Yankees, It wasn’t. The Southern-
ers were as interested in true justice
as the Northemers were.

That’s one of the movie's
strengths: There are no true bad
guys. No one is a blitliering idiot.
which gives the movie a real sense
of suspense. Even though you can
anticipate how the movie will end,

ee proved the perfect counterpoint

The film‘s director, Jonathan
Demme, emerged as a major crea-
tive force after a series of amusing.
idiosyncratic movies like "Melvin
and Howard" and “Married to the
Mob."

This time he aimed all-out for ter~
tor and hit audiences with Visceral
impact. As a terror film, “Silence"
took what is normally B movie ina-
terial and put it on the A list. It was
the first such film to win the best-
picttire Oscar.

The real tragedy of “Silence" w as
mentioned by Derntne in his accepA
lance speech: the decline and fall of
Orion Pictures.

The adventuresome company
won best-picture Oscars for “Ama-
deus," “Platoon" antl last year‘s
“Dances With Wolves." But a se-
ries of costly mistakes like “Val-
mom" and financial manipulations

the courtroom sequences genuinely
are interesting because the two
sides are both equal to the task.

The movie does have some prob-
lems. The two defendants (Macchio
and Whitfield), after being intro-
duced at the beginning of the flick,
don‘t have much to do after that.
Some scenes are extremely funny,
but other scenes have long, dry
spots with few laughs. The movie
never takes off until Pesei and To-
mei show up. But since Pesei and
Tomei are in almost every scene
from then on, and since they do
such a good job, they are able to
overcome the movie’s drawbacks
with ease. Fred Gwynne, known to

cast as a whole does a wonderful
job.

You’ll laugh —— that’s the impor-
tant thing. Director Jonathan Lynn
and screenwriter Launer succeed in
providing good, light comedy enter-
tainment that won‘t change your
life and luckily doesn’t try. Don’t
be fooled by the TV ads, which
don‘t do the movie justice. “My
Cousin Vinny“ is a movie that, like
its lead character, exceeds expecta-
tions.

No reason for students

not to cast their ballots
in today’s elections

Today is the first day of Student Government Association elec-

tions.

This year studentSshave six diverse and very unique presidential
tickets to choose from on the ballot.

There is no reason for students not to vote. Campus media have
kept students informed about the candidates and the issues since the
beginning of the semester. In addition, candidates have been walk-
ing around campus meeting students firsthand.

There is no excuse for students to have not had some form of in-
teraction or developed a knowledge of who the candidates are.

Students should take the 10 or 15 minutes it requires to vote.
Whether you decide that you are content. or dissatisfied, with your
representation in SGA, you should vote to enforce your decision.

After all, since the judicial board has said referendums don’t equal
the weight of law, annual elections are the only way students can di—
rectly participate in the goveming of SGA.

Greeks lend support to November

To the editor:

As the presidents of various
greck organizations, we are proud
to support the Greek Political Ac-
tion Committee in its endorsement
of Pete November and Lea Ann
Davenport for Student Government
Association president and vice
president.

By serving as president of his
own fraternity, we believe Novem-
ber has exemplified his leadership
abilities within the greek system
and throughout our campus.

He is well respected by both his
peers, and the University’s admin-
istration. We feel certain that he is
capable of leading our student body
with honesty and maturity.

Davenport‘s experience speaks
very highly of her as a campus
leader. We believe that she will
demonstrate her high morals and
standards as she continues her work
with SGA.

GPAC made an informed decr-
sion after evaluating all six presi-
dential candidates. Again, we are
proud to support GPAC’s endorse-
ment and encourage all students to
vote for Pete November and Lea
Ann Davenport.

Senatorial candidate hard working

Dear editor:

Over the past two semesters, I
have had the pleasure of working
with Shea Chaney. I have found
him to be a hard working, dedicated
and determined person.

It is my estimation that with his
leadership experience. Chaney
would serve the College of Arts and
Sciences very well in all capacrties
as its senator.

I fully support Shea Chaney in
his campaign and urge all others to
do so also!

If I’m a

Let me make this plea now, while
I am healthy and my mind is sound.
If I am ever dying and in terrible,
never-ending pain, put me out of
my horrible existence. Let me die
knowing that I did not place catas-
trophic emotional and financial bur-
dens on my family. Let me die with
some dignity left in my face. Let
the die.

If my child is ever bom without a
brain, with no ability to see, hear,
taste, laugh, or love, let him do his
part for humanity. Let him give the
gift of life to other children. Let his
lungs breath life in
