amnus vandals steal thousands of Kernels

Dy Innna Reilly
New: Editor

and Joli Vinson
Campus Editor

Students who tried to pick up yes-
terday’s issue of the Kentucky Kernel
on the way to class may not have been
able to find one.

Early Thursday morning stacks of
the Kernel were taken from at least 19
buildings, said Mike Agin, student
media adviser.

University spokesman Ralph Der-
ickson, said seven students, both males
and females, have been questioned by
UK Police about the incident.

Derickson said UK Police stopped
1two pjgkaup mjand saw,$tacks of
Kernels in the bed of the’truélisi

Derickson said he did nut know
how many buildings had been hit.

Kernels that were taken from either
the' Administration Building or the
Gillis Building were thrown into a
fiowEr bed, Derickson said.

In Patterson Office Tower, the
Kernels were placed into garbage bags

and then taken to the trucks, he said.

Agin estimated that more than
.1 1,000 copies of the Kernel were
taken, about 65 percent of the Kernel’s
17,000 daily issues.

“This is definitely not a college
prank,” Agin said.

“They robbed eople of their free
speech and they re bed people of their
money.”

The Kernel is free to UK students,
faculty and staff, but yesterda ’5 issue
contained about $5,500 in hot classi-
fied and display advertising.

“We have upset advertisers, not
just in the business community but
many students who had classified ads,”
Agin said.

“We will obviously work with those
advertisers so they are not harmed, but
we want them to work with us in
protesting this kind of narrow-minded
action.”

Students looking for Kernels found
empty bins with the exception of fliers
that said: “No diversity, No equality,
No justice, No Kernel.”

“What’s truly sad is it appears that
the only equality or diversity they real-
ly want is something that reflects only
their voice,” Agin said. “The voices
that were on the editorial page today
have been lost.”

Dean of Students David Stockham
said his office is conducting an investi-
gation into the incident.

Derickson said no criminal charges
have been filed in the incident, but the
Dean of Students Office will decide
whether, to char e the students with
the a violation 0 the Student Code of
Cbnduct.

Derickson said if the students
involved are charged there are a wide
ran e of penalties.

he students could be charged
under section 1.21: “Interference,
coercion or disruption which impedes,
impairs or interferes with the rights of
others on University to erty.”
Another section of the co e t e stu-
dents could be charged with violating
is: “Stealing an item of tangible or
intangible public or private property
upon University property.”

The penalties could include, proba-
tion, undated suspension, suspension
or dismissal from the University.

Agin praised the University for its
efforts.

“I think the University is taking this

very seriously and is exercising every
option it can to ensure that this does
not happen again,” he said.

Agin said that in addition to Uni-
versity action, the Kernel’s non—profit
corporation hoard, Kernel Press, Inc.,
will aggressively pursue any criminal
or civil remedy available through the
law.

Members of the Kernel staff
weren’t the only people on campus
upset with the newspapers’ theft. Agin
said the Kernel offices logged calls
from upset readers about every five
minutes during the morning hours.

“They were upset about the Ken-
tucky Kernel not being available to

Student newspaper thievery happens in fact, it
happens a lot.

“According to the Student Press Law (lentcr,
there have been 30 such incidents this year," said
Alike Agin, UK student media adviser. "Many of
those incidents led to criminal procedures and to civil
procedures to reimburse people for their losses."

UK was added to list of universities who have had
their student newspapers swiped. Agin said to his
knowledge, this is the first time this has happened to
the Kernel.

“In a span of 15 years, there has been no such incr
dent like this," he said.

Attempts to talk to a representative of the Student
Press Law Center were unsuccessful, but a fact sheet
from the SPLC highlighted incidents that have
occurred at other colle res.

At the University of Florida in 1988, four students
“charged with stealing copies of a rival student
group's ‘free' conservative newspaper were ordered. to
pay for their crime,“ according to an article in ’I he
Gainesville Sun.

The article said the students were sentenced to six
months unsupervised probation, 25 hours of commu-
nity service and $100 in court costs.

More recent thefts of student newspapers at the
University of Maryland-College Park, john Hopkins
University and others prompted state legislators to
get involved.

In May 1994, Maryland Gov. \Villiam Donald
Schaefer signed a law that explicitly prohibits indivnl
uals from taking “ctunplimentary" newspapers if done
“with the intent to prevent other individuals from
reading the newspapers," according to an article in
the SPIN.) report.

The article said the actions were not related but
were similar in that “all of these incidents were the
result of student minority groups upset with [)‘Jl‘tlt‘il'
lar stories or articles in the newspapers, which the
groups claimed were racists."

Mark Goodman, executive director ofthe Sl’l.( j.
hailed the legislation as a positive step to curb student
newspaper thefts.

“Too many school administrators have treated
newspaper theft as an insignificant prank, if they
reacted to it at all," Goodman said. “I hope this legis—
lation will serve as a wake—u ) call to those who have
forgotten the importance of free expression on col-
lege and university campuses."

Maryland was the first state to pass a law specifical~
ly aimed at deterring student newspaper thefts. There
is no such law in Kentucky.

Alter ‘hreaking the silence,’ what next?

By Alison Kiohl

Erecmivc Editor

Months of heightened racial ten-
sions on campus crested last week
when hundreds of UK students gath-
ered at a “Breakin the Silence” rally.

This rally and t e events that led up
to it, leave several students and admin—
istrators asking what can be done to fix
the problem.

At the rally, which was sponsored
by the Black Student Union, students
spoke about the need to cure what they
believe are the social injustices afflict-
ing the campus.

Several of UK’s administrators were
criticized by speakers for handling sit—
uations related to racism on campus
poorly and for not caring about the
aek of a University curriculum related
to a lturally diverse history.

T e Black Student Union cited sev-
eral reasons for the rally including the
“climate of racism expressed on the
UK campus,” and the fact that there
are no blacks in major administrative
gositions on campus exce t for Jerry

ramwell, vice president or researc
and graduate studies.

Several campus organizations have
begun meetin to discuss short- and
long-term goa s that need to be made
in order to satisfy the need to diversify
Uaiiersity curriculum. Members of

week with Chancellor for the Lexing-
ton Campus Elisabeth Zinser and
administrators from the Office of
African-American Affairs to open a
campus dialogue.

One of the proposals involves
up ading the African-American Stud-
ies rogram to departmental status.

A broad range of issues were dis—
cussed at the meeting, and various sug-
gestions for improving diversity on
campus were proposed.

The proposals included creating a
racial harassment policy on campus;
holding an African-American faculty,
staff and student assembly next year;
and placing tnore of a focus on race
relations in UK 101, an extended ori-
entation class geared toward incoming
freshman.

Chester Grundy, director of the
Office of African-American Affairs,
said he thinks if certain tasks are
parceled out to the appropriate people
and committees in the University, then
some changes could start taking place
next year.

He highlighted the proposed racial
harassment policy, which is already on
the books at many other universities
across the country.

“Something like (the racial harass-
ment licy) would be appropriate for
somet ing like the president’s (staff
meeting),” Grundy said. “That is
something which involves tog policy-
makers working with legal sta .

she said a policy needed to be devel—
oped in draft form and moved through
the proper administrative channels.

Zinser also said she was planning to
establish a committee of students to
examine proposed ideas over the sum—
mer.

She said UK can look to other
harassment policies existing at the
University for guidance in creating
new policies.

“We don't have to re-invent the
wheel,” Zinser said. “There are poli-
cies all over the place.”

Grundy also said most of the cur—
riculum issues r0 sed would have to
go back to tfie aculty Senate for
perusal and possible approval.

ideas proposed could be accomplished

Hansen's repeat
attempt toiled
on balance beam

Stuff report

Jenny Hansen's string of three consecutive
NCAA All—Around Championships came to an end
last night in Tuscaloosa after the
\Vildcat gymnast fell from the
beam.

Hansen, the most-prolific gym—
nast in collegiate history, finished
seventh in the all—around with a
59.30 while teammate Robin
Ewing finished tied for 16th with a
39.00.

Alabama's Meredith \Villard
took first in the all-around with a
39.450.

“Uenny's) taking it well," UK
coach Leah Little said. “We said
coming in that regardless of what
happened she’s had a great career,
she's the most—decorated gymnast
ofall time and that we couldn’t be
disappointed.

“I told her to go out like a cham—
pion,” she said.

Throw out Hansen’s 9.450 on
the beam, and the senior from
Somerset, VVis.. had a banner
evening.

Hansen recorded a 9.90 on bars,
a 9.950 on the floor and a perfect
10 on the vault.

The 10 was the 28th ofHansen's Little
career, breaking an NCAA record.

Coming into last night's competition, Hansen
shared the record with Hope Spivey-Sheeley, for—
merly of Georgia.

Hansen, who already owns eight total NCAA
titles, qualified to compete for the vault, bars and
floor crowns tomorrow.

“She just lost concentration on the beam,” said
Little, this season’s Southeastern Conference
Coach of the Year. “It seems like she had a great
warmup and everything seemed fine. But she just

 

 

 

fell.”

go. VVe‘ve built up all this energy
from previous days, you know?

Q: How did you (yr hook up with
Bush and Goo Goo galls? Your music
is really different from theirs.

T.K.: It was just the tour that
was offered to us
and we were look—
ing through our dif—
ferent options and
it made a lot of
sense because the
tour came to a lot of
secondary markets
that we wouldn‘t
have been able to hit
by ourselves so we
felt it was a good thing for No
Doubt.

Q: Hon" do you feel the tour has
heel] so far?

T.K.: It's been good. \Ve origi—
nally anticipated at first that we
would be playinr for very small
crowds and peopfe walking in and
trying to find their seats and stuff
like that but it hasn't been like that
at all it's been quite the opposite.
It's been very, very cool. Like
when we’re playing the venues are
usually pretty packed and it‘s pret—
ty awesome. \Ve’ve had great
response so far.

Q: Hot." has your music changed
since when you started in 193 7?

T.K.: I think when we started
out we were primarily a Two—
Tone ska band. \Ve played pretty
much Two-Tone ska music. But
in that first year we started experi—
mentin r with different styles and
it’s kinrfof been what we’re about,
just trying to do different things
that feel good. \Ve put any limits
on the types of music that we play.
But I think what’s happened to our
music is just a natural evolution of
what we’ve wanted to play. \Ve’ve
never really sat down and said
we’re going to do this or we're

going to do that — it just kind'of
came out that way. .

Q: In ‘Tragic Kingdom,’ it does
have a wide variety of sounds. I mean,
some parts of your songs go from reg-
gae to classic musical showtunes.

T.K.: That’s just
naturally what’s

/ going to come dut

of four diverse )‘e‘o-

ple who enjoy all the

same kinds of music.

_I I think that’s the

natural result of the

way we grew up and

how we listen to

music and the muhic

we listen to and I just think aIl‘of

us are open minded and like a lot
of different music. '

Ifyou come and listen to what‘s
inside No Doubt’s CD pla ets,
you’ll find hardcore and cé‘siic
showtunes to soundtracks andkflg—
gae and ska. ' ‘

Q: ‘l’m just A Girl’ was released
from ‘Tragic Kingdom” and lf‘_flfd.\
picked up on radio stations every—
where and lVITV. Did you ever expect
this big of a reaction to it?

T.K.: It’s interesting because
we‘ve been together for nine
years. I think we’ve pretty much
have gone through every trial and
tribulation a band can go through.
We’ve had so many ups and
downs. But for us, this is just
another phase we’re going
through. It’s a whole new thing
that’s opened up nationally, as
opposed to what it used to be
which was more regional... .. , .

We know how things change
overnight in the music indu§try,
you know, what goes up must
come down, we all realize that and
nothing lasts forever. We try to
maintain our integrity throughout
the whole process. That’s the key
to the whole thing.

GOLDEN FORKS

 

Years ago, as the legend goes, an embittered Kernel editor came back to the
office upset, hurt and insulted. A prominent campus figure had unfairly
harangued the young reporter for an offense the reporter did not commit. It was
at that point and the heat and the sweat and tension that the young editor
vowed revenge. From those feeling of scorn, the Golden Forks were born. As a
testament to that young reporter, we take it upon ourselves to strike back with

venomous pleasure at those who have wronged us.

With A Vengeance, Jackson again
brings his enthusiastic screen pres-
ence to Reginald Hudlin’s (House
Party) The Great White Hype.

He plays Rev. Fred Sultan, a
smooth-talking, rich, powerful
boxing promoter in the spirit of
Don King. All of his hustling and
financial wizardry, however, are
not helping boxing's sa ging pub-
lic interest. Sultan’s sofution is to
find a white heavyweight con-
tender to face the undefeated
champ, James “The Grim Reaper”
Roper, (Damon Wayans).

He finds his Great White Hope
in Terry Conklin (Peter Berg), a
long-haired front man for the rock
band Massive Head Wound and

l former boxer who actually defeat-

ed the champ in an amateur bout
years ago. The question of hope or
hype sets the stage for the boxing
world’s Fight of the Millennium.

Jeff Goldblum, Jon Lovitz,
Corbin Bernsen and Cheech
Marin join the impressive cast of
male performers.

Beside solid acting, the film
also promise a sharply written
script. Former editor in chief of

writes with Ron Shelton, the

Hardwood FIDOI‘ l8

By Danielle Dove
Staff Writer

As Lexington's music scene
slowly continues to grow, many
bands are taking the stage and
heading strai ht to the limelight.

Hardwoo Floor, a band whose
name is settling into

the move

The tape contains just what
they describe. The songs cross a
spectrum of musical compilations
ranging from temperamental
lyrics and feverish sounds to
melancholy vocals accompanied
by trance-like instrumental diver-
sions.

Hardwood Floor, a name that is

 

the minds of the truly
diverse, is one such
band who plays its all
for anyone who appre-
ciates them.

The trio consists of

tar and vocals, Rodney

that go there are open
minded people," he said.
The band has come a long way
' since its first performance at
WRFL's Hidden Talent Night
held at the Wrocklage. The guys
were a little nervous as they very
well should have been since they

wrote all their songs the day
before. (
But they pulled it off and they
keep pulling it off because unity in
the band and the ability to simply
play off each other and improvise
when needed, keeps the band in
cinch. '

“At every given show we put .

every ounce of energy we have in
every note,” Rodney said. “Evenif
we only have three people to play
for," added Eddie.

Hardwood Floor made it point—
edly clear that they are not inter
ested in how much money they
make— it is all about getting the
sound out, because for them
money is not real, music is.
