Spending spring break in Florida
can be full of fun and excitement. If
not properly prepared, however. it
can be a disaster.

Because of the threat of AIDS,
health officials are encouraging
caution for all sexually active col-
lege students.

To help students prepare for
spring break trips, the Student
Health Advisory Council passed out
1000 “survival kits" on campus
this week.

In addition to pain relievers. ad-
hesive bandages and informative
pamphlets on topics like skin cati-
ccr. the kits also contain a condom
inside a flier that wants against the
risk of AIDS.

Mary L. Brinkman. IIK‘s director
of health education and SllAC's ad-
viser, said the AIDS fliers are an at«
tetnpt to infortn the student body
about pregnancy and sexually trans-
mitted diseases.

“We see unplanned pregnancies
on campus. We see a lot of sexually
transmitted diseases." she said.

“We have not as yet seen a lot of
students who are positive for HIV.
btit the time will come when we
will see more and more."

Robert (‘. Noble. a professor of
tnedicine in UK‘s division of infec-
tiotrs diseases. said he treats “AIDS
patients in ever—increasing numbers.
although Kentucky is a low-
incident state."

lle encouraged the use of corr-
dorns as a way of reducing the risk
of contracting AIDS and other
S'I‘Ds. but said there are drawbacks.

"If you are stupid enough to have
unprotected sex with someone who
is unfamiliar to you. condoms are

good." he said.

“But in the heat of passion, con-
doms are the last thing on your
mind. If you use a condom consis-
tcntIy it will reduce your chances of
acquiring STD."

Noble also said condoms don‘t
provide total protection because
they sometimes are not used proper-
ly. and they cart break.

“If (people) engage iii risky be-
haviors. condoms will reduce the
risk of Sle But to be safe you
have to stop the risky behavior. he
said.

Noble said there are people. iri-

who know they are IIIV positive
but still engage in unprotected sex.

“Frankly, there is very little you
can do about it," he said. “The re—
sponsibility lies with everybody
whether you are IIIV positive or
not. The sexual scene is not safe.

“A long term monogamous rela-
tionship with a mutually faithful
partner is the way to go."

Jennie Dorroh, a social work jun-
ior who coordinated the spring
break project. said SIIAC was try-
ing to convey “an overall message
about health“ by distributing the
kits.

Dowdy talks
about past
SGA career

By Caroline Shively
Staff Writer

 

 

Student (iovcnrmcnt Association
presidential czmdidate Lance Dow-
dy announced plans yesterday to
create a freshmen outreach program
as pan of student government

While he announced the program.
he spent an equal amount of time
defending his involvement in SGA
four years ago. when he left the or-
ganiration because of poor grades.

“My freshman year was not a
stellar one." Dowdy said at a press
conference. “I got purged from
SGA."

Dowdy was purged from the
SGA senate in the spring of 1989,
when he was a freshman. Ilis
grade-point average at the time was
1.6 — below the minimum 2.0 that
was required of senators.

Dowdy explained why his grades
were poor.

“I got up here. . and I got into
campus life," he said. "I kind of for-
got why I was here.“

Ken Walker, Dowdy‘s campaign
manager. said he believes Dowdy is
better for the experience. “I think
this shows he learned from his ex.
patience.“ he said.

Comedian Mark Russell lampoons
Wilkinson trial, national politicians

 

By Gregory A. Hall
Editor in Chief

 

’lhc foibles of politicians every-
where were skewered last night by
the satire of Washington comedian
Mark Russell.

Russell. whose self-titled comedy
show is in its 18th season on PBS.
lampooncd all topics political. in-
cluding the state BOPTrot investi-
gation. the (‘Iinton and Bush ad-
ministrations. the election. Ross
Perot and political correctness.

'Ihe perfonnance. which lasted
about 90 minutes. took place at the
Kentucky Ilorse Center in an audi-
torium that doubles as an auction
ring, prompting Russell to joke that
if a perfonner breaks his leg. “they
shoot him."

Russell used a Lexington Herald-
l.eader account of the ongoing
Bruce Wilkinson trial as bait to
spoof Kentucky politics.

He went over testimony from the
trial. which included taped conver-
sation of an FBI informant who er-
roneously thought the bn'be money
was to be taken to the state Capitol.
rather than Frankfort‘s Capital Pla-
za Hotel.

“God knows how many bribes
are left over there." Russell said.

“The whole idea (of going after
Bruce Wilkinson) was to get him to
cry ‘unclef " a reference to Wilkin-
son's uncle, fonner (iov. Wallace
Wilkinson.

The comedian turned to national
politics and mocked President (‘lin«
ton's economic plan. in which
“contribution is (tax s) new name.

Russell s piano ttrmed standards
of music into political satire. like
turning “(‘Iang. (‘Iang. (‘Iang Went
the Trollies." into “Boom. Boom.
Boom. Went the Boomers."

'Ibc song's lyrics were changed
to reflect Democrats running the
Senate. Democrats running the
House. a Democrat running the
White House. “and she‘s Bill (‘lin-
ton‘s spouse."

Russell said the (‘Iintons are the
first family in public housing to
send their child to private school.

lie waxed nostalgic about the
election. particularly Ross Perot.
who. for comedians. was "the gift
that kept on giving.“

Russell thanked Perot supporters
in the audience. but said “you are
the new Moonics.“

Russell said he almost voted for
Perot “for the simple reason that he

logging track at the \Vlutc iiousc
since he “gets more exercise back~

He called the c\ercrsc tinpresi-
denual. Russell said most tonner
presidents didn't iog. President
Kennedy “ran around. btrt hc never
jogged."

Russell also relied
Bush‘s presidency

He made fun of Pat Buchanan as
Bush‘s choice to speak at the Re-
publicrm convention. Russell said
Buchanan delivered “the greatest
speech David Duke ever wrote."

Taking from college campuses.
Russell showed the changes politi-
cal correctness is making on socie-
ty. “Oh You Beautiful Doll." is now
“Oh You Person of Indiscriminatc
(iendcr and Appearance."

“If I put my amis around you. I
would need a lawyer. it‘s true."

Russell also made fun of his
(‘atholic heritage. in light of the
bombing of the World Trade (‘enter
in New York, in which the bomb
apparently was left in a truck by
members an Islamic group.

“I knew it wasn’t my people. The
Catholics would never rent a truck.
They would raffle off a Buick."

Staff Critic

 

When one sees the name Bill
Murray on a film. one expects zany
antics from one of America‘s fun-
niest comics. The name Robert De-
Niro. however. brings to mind
nerve-wrecking intensity. Pairing
the two of them may not seem an
obvious choice. but it‘s the best
thing about “Mad Dog and Glory."

After reading the script. DeNiro
was given his choice of characters.
Everyone expected him to play
Frank. an in-your-face mobster
with the sort of startling menace
typical of DeNiro's best work. In—
stead. he chose Wayne. a shy. un-
assuming cop.

Suddenly. the makers of “Mad
Dog and Glory“ had a monumental
task on their hands. They had to
find an actor who could intimidate
one of the most honored men in
Hollywood. Who did they choose?
A Ghostbuster.

The idea to cast Mun‘ay as Frank
was DeNiro‘s. and. at firSt glance.
it seems absurd. Murray always has
been known for his laid-back. ef-
fortless comedy. Never once has he
been frightening. rnttch less a
heavy.

That‘s one of the things that is so

Staff Writer Anne Saint-Aignan is aflrurth-year architecture stu-
dent and a Kentucky Kernel columnist.

  
 
    

Murray, DeNiro relish odd roles

surprising about this film. Here are
two of the best-known actors in
Hollywood playing completely
against type. and we don‘t doubt it
for a minute.

DeNiro tackles his character‘s
shyness with the stune kind of ener-
gy that made Max (‘ady so frighten-
ing in “(‘ape Fear." And Murray's
easy-going smirk takes on a dark
twist as Frank.

Wayne. a cop so timid he has
been ironically dubbed “Mad Dog“
by his peers. finds himself in an
awkward position. He has just
saved the life of a notorious mob-
ster without realizing it.

Now Frank. the mobster wants to
be his friend.

The next day. Wayne is startled
when Frank's thank-you note ar-
rives. It's Glory. :1 bannaid who
does favors for Frzmk to pay off her
brother‘s debt. She tells him that
Frank has sent her to stay with him
for the weekend itt exchange for
saving his life.

As absurd as this story may
sound. it works. The characters are
so real that the audience is willing
to accept the ridiculous premises.

Mad Dog and Glory are so awk-
ward and vulnerable as two strang-
ers forced to live in the same aptm-
ment. we come to sympathize with
them even if we can't understand
their situation.

In fact. all of the characters are
well-written. llzu'old. Frank's body-

Mike. Wayne's friend. is a ma-
cho cop in the style of Dirty Harry.
but he also has a warm. under-
standing side.

The most telling moment in
"Mad Dog and Glory" is an awk-
ward love scene between Wayne
and the btmnaid (played by Uma
'l'hurmau of “Dangerous Liai-
sons"). Unlike so many sleek. cho-
reographed screen romances. this
one seems spontaneous. Wayne
fumbles for things to do as Glory
gives him directions on how to
kiss.

These kinds of moments are the
true strength of the film. Director
John McNaughton has filled it with
quiet moments like this that are
loaded with human truths. 'lbey
are sad and funny at the same time.
but not overtly so.

Unfortunately. these wonderful
moments don't quite add up to a
cohesive whole. The latter half of
the film seems mshcd. as though
writer Richard Price didn't know
how to wrap things up.

“Mad Dog and Glory" may not
be to everyone‘s taste. lt‘s quirky.
and its hutnor is subtle. but for
those who are tired of unrealistic
people blowing things up. it‘s a
welcome diversion into the the
lives of some interesting and unu-
sual people.

"Mad Dog and Glory. " rated R.
is showing at Lexington Green and
Lexington Mall cinemas.

The Gym (‘ats always have at
least one cheerleader —— junior Mi—
cliellc ()gden. Well, ()K, she‘s not
an official cheerleader, but she
helps UK in more ways than one.

”the more you cheer. the more
relaxed you are,“ she said. “The
whole key to the meet is to go out
there zuid just do your routine."

()gdeii said the support from oth—
er teatn members she and other
gymnasts receive keeps them calm.

“if everyone yells as much as
they can, it‘s just like a workout,"
she said. “Then we don’t have to
get as nervous. 'lhen we can just do
our job, which is a flawless routine.
the less we have to think about our
routines. the easier."

The junior emulates this support
away from gymnastics in a sort of
family way.

“Michelle has been an inspiration
to me," freshman Jenny Hansen
said. “liveryone has someone on the
team who is there to pick them up.
She really helps me out a lot. Mi—
clielle is kind of a motlier«figtii‘e to
me."

Although ()gdcn said she's not
partial to the maternal image. she
does think the team is more of a
family.

"I think we‘re a pretty close
team." she said. “liveryone cares
about each other. I‘m close to eve-
rybody. and I‘m always concerned
about things outside gymnastics.

Georgia junior guard Cleve-

“We want tti prove to people
that Georgia really is a good bas-

Jackson said. “That‘s what l
mean when I say we are on a

Georgia prevailed easily in the

The Fighting Gamecocks of
South Carolina put up a heck of
a fight last night at Rupp Arena
— like Riddick Bowe. But they
fought more like Evander Holy-
field when they failed to deliver
the crushing blow as Alabama
knocked out the Gamecocks in
game one of the Southeastem
(‘onference Tournament 87-79.

With the Crimson Tide t16~l 1)
leading the fight 80-70, qune-
cock guard Carey Rich dribbled

 

eastern Conference) in the quarterfi-
nals today at 3:15 pm.

“i would rather not think about
Arkansas,“ Georgia coach llugh
Durham said. “You just win a
game. and you don‘t even have a
chalice to even sit down and go to
dinner. There isn‘t enough to say
about Arkansas."

Georgia was bullish from the
start, while MSU tried to bully
Georgia. sending the Dawgs to the
line 16 times, where they made 11.

Jackson scored the game‘s first
six points before Mississippi State
could even manage a basket.

MSU pulled within one at 8-7 on

the ball off his foot. This forced
South Carolina to foul and. for the
first time iii the game, Alabama
made its free throws consistently.
The Tide shot 50 percent in the
game, and before making their last
six they were 6-18.

South Carolina (9-18) jumped out
to an early 12-6 lead before Ala-
bama went on a 16~5 ruti to lead by
six with ”:40 left in the first half.
The two teams traded punches for
the rest of the grune, but the most
potent shots were delivered in the
last 25 seconds.

qunecoek coach Steve Newton,
who coached his last game at South

Georgia took off again. Nine un-
answered poian gave Georgia a
17-7 lead with just less than 12
minutes left in the first half.

Georgia continued the pound—
ing by starting the second half
similar to the way it had started
the first one. The Dawgs led by
as much as 22 points early in the
second half.

Four Bulldogs scored in dou-
ble figures. Senior forward Ar-
lando Bennett led the way with
15.

MSU finished at 13-16 and 5-
12 in the SliC. Georgia is
