L5: Students making
new traditions

I

By Kathy Reding

Contributing Writer

Not all students at UK enter college
right after high school. Many are over
the age of 25, full-time employees or
returning undergraduates, and thus do
not fit the college student stereotype.

Approximately 16 percent ofunder—
graduates are considered to be non-
traditional or adult students, Universi—
ty officials say. This figure does not
include graduate students.

Bettv Gabehart, an adviser with the
Central Advisin and Transfer Center
who works wit adult student con—
cerns, said that non-traditional stu-
dents generally fall into two categories.

One group is students returning to
school because they are after a specific
goal like completing an undergraduate
degree, master’s degree or doctorate.

Other non-traditional students are
starting college for the first time or are
returning because they are uncertain
about their careers.

Gabehart said students who fall into
the second rouping are the students
who generafiy require the most assis-
tance because they have been out of
school or the work force for a longer
period of time.

“\Ve're the starting point for adults
wanting to come back to school,”
Gabehart said. “People need lots of
reassurance and help to get started or
return to school."

Common concerns identified by
non~traditional students are whether
they can keep pace with younger stu—
dents, scheduling classes around jobs,
child care and having understanding
professors.

Central Advising, located at 109
Miller Hall, offers services to make the
University more user friendly to adult
students. The office publishes a
semester newsletter for adult students
describing its services. Central Advis-
ing provides academic advising for
adults, refresher courses in algebra and

science, career transition counseling
and back—to-school workshops.

Gabehart said they also provide
information on adult non—traditional
student scholarships, evening child
care, parking and resources offered by
other University departments.

“\Vhen adult students are comfort—
able with coming back they get excited.
Most of them do very well," Gabehart
said.

Lafoun Rawlins is in her second
year as a returning student, pursuing
her second degree. She said the big est
challenge for adult students is fin ing
time around work to schedule classes.

Rawlins said she would like to see
more evening classes offered to help
adults students to get the ones they
need. She also said the adult student
services provided by Central Advising
were a big help because they could
connect her to resources on campus.

“Central Advising is great. They
will find things out for you,” Rawlins
said. “They have the answers.”

Charlotte Fister, a public service
and leadership junior, said that even
though she is not classified as an adult
student she sees berselfas a non-tradi-
tional because she commutes to cam—
pus as a full-time student and also
works full time.

“I don’t have the time to be a regu~
lar student," Fister said. “I‘ve had a lot
of understanding professors who have
helped me out."

Fister said also that having an
understanding employer helps her
keep up with both work and school.

For students over the age of 65, the
Donovan Scholars program provides
their tuition, aid with admissions and
advising and special courses.

Judy Hensleman, registrar for the
Donovan Scholars, said nearly 140 aca—
demic students are participating in the
program both as degree-seeking and
non—degree students. Nearly 500 older
adults are taking part in this year’s spe—
cial courses designed for them.

“We make it (admission and regis-

can be overwhelming if you haven’t
been in college for a long period or it
you’ve never been."

retired home economics teacher who is

she always wanted to be able to do.

“It’s marvelous to come back and

get to take the courses and subjects you
always wanted to take," King said.
“The teachers are always welcoming to

Other resources for non—traditional
students are found with the Student
Government Association. Among the
most widely used are the child care
grants and legal service. Many adult
students are tutors in the tutoring pro-

Sunday night Wallace Clark was in his
sleeping bag on the concrete outside
Memorial Coliseum watching “Mad About
You."

“Then I got mad,” said Clark, the first
fan in line for Midni ht Madness Oct. 15.

\Vhat made Clar mad was the “snap"
he heard while he was watching television.
Someone had broken the UK wind sock off
the driver’s side window of Clark's gray
Chevrolet van that is parked in front of
Memorial Coliseum.

“A guy started looking in the van, I
thought he was just looking to see what all I
had in there,” Clark said, “then I saw him
standin on the other side. The next thing I
know Ihear a snap.”

Clark said be confronted the person and
asked him why he broke the wind sock.
After confronting the sus ect Clark fol-
lowed him from the Eucli Avenue side of
the Singletary Center for the Arts to the
Rose Lane side while calling UK Police on
his cellular phone.

“When he came out on the other side he
didn’t have a hat on,” Clark said. He
believes the suspect thought Clark would
not be able to identify him if he took off the
hat he was wearing. But Clark had memo-
rized the suspects‘ description.

“He had a white shirt, black shoes and a
hat,” Clark said.

UK Police responded and found the sus-
pect on Rose Lane.

“The police officer said he admitted he
did it,” Clark said, “but he said didn’t know
why he did it.”

Clark returned to his van with an officer
and found the broken flag on the ground at
the back of the van.

The man was not arrested because the
crime was a misdemeanor, but Clark filed a
criminal mischief complaint with the UK
Police Department.

“Now I am afraid to put more stuff on

Clark said he told the police officer to
tell the suspect that if he would replace the
wind sock and apologize by noon yesterday
Clark would not press charges.

“I wanted him to replace it and tell me
he’s sorry,” Clark said. “But as of yesterday
the man had not re laced the flag.

“It’s a shame to ave to do it,” Clark said
about ressing charges against the young

Clark said he was still hostile about the

one would want to bother him.

said.

input is vital to how we approach
this issue,” SGA President Shea

Chaney said if more students
favored an increase in student

Simpson jurors
rea y to give verdict

LOS ANGELES ‘7 Refusing to meet OJ.
Simpson’s gaze, 12 jurors tiled bac ' into the court-
room yesterday to confirm they had reached ver-
dicts after less than four hours, a stunningly swift
resolution to a sensational murder case that took
more than eight months to present.

Their decision shocked the
courtroom and a nation already
busy debating how many weeks the
jurors might be out. Superior
Courtjudge Lance Ito said the ver-
dicts would be read today at 10 a.m.
PDT.

As the 10 women and two men
of the jury filed into court at 2:55 »
p.m., Simpson stood and stared at Simpson
them. None looked his way.

Lawyers on both sides seemed almost dazed by
the speed ofthe verdict.

The announcement came after jurors asked for
and heard a brief repetition of testimony from a
limousine driver that concerned the time when
Simpson was picked up for a ride to the airport on
the night oftwo murders.

It was one of the fastest verdict decisions in
memory for such a long, high-profile trial, indicat-
ing that once the sequestered jury broke its silence
about the case, the panelists found they were all in
agreement.

 

 

Pia“ proposed on breast implants
BIRAIINGI l.&\l, Ala. —— Three breast implant

makers are proposing a plan to partially salvage the
all-liut—dead $4.25 billion deal that was supposed to
settle hundreds ofthous‘ands of injury claims.

The new offer, made during a series of intense
negotiations over the weekend, covers far fewer
women than the old deal.

It failed to gain unanimous support among the
team of plaintiffs' lawyers, but the federal judge
supervising the talks decided Alonday to let each
woman decide individually whether to accept or
reject it.

The offer would pay women who claim implants
have already made them sick a maximum of about
$600,000 each, compared to $1.4 million in the
original deal, said two sources who spoke on condi—
tion of anonymity.

()ther women with implants who don't claim
current illnesses could file claims in future years.

Court officials said an initial round of payments
could begin within a few months to about 50,000
currently ill women. About 96,000 women had
sought money in this first round ofpayments under
the old agreement.

Security tightened alter trial VEI‘IIICI

NETV YORK _. Americans paid for the terror-
ist convictions of 10 Muslim radicals with tighter
security at airports nationwide yesterday.

In the toughest measures since the Persian Gulf
War, cars left unattended at curbside were immedi—
ately towed, airline passengers had to present pic-
ture identification with their tickets and security
officials were ordered to search suspicious cars.

Security also was tightened outside the White
House, with pedestrians blocked from Pennsylva—
nia Avenue.

In \Vashington, Deputy FBI Director \K'eldon
Kennedy told The Associated Press that the pre-
cautions are prudent even though the agency
doesn't have any specific information about
planned retaliation for Sunday's comictions.

Senate ”83‘” To investigate Whitewater
\VASIIINC‘TON — Rejecting a plea from the

\Vhitewater prosecutor, the Senate will resutne its
investigation of the Clintons' real estate venture,
with public hearings late this month on how the
“hire House and federal officials handled the cons
trovcrsy.

In a strong signal that his criminal probe of
President and Mrs. Clinton is far from over,
\Vhitewater prosecutor Kenneth Starr unsuccess—
fully urged the Senate to limit the scope.

Among the issues Starr said would be hindered
by a Senate investigation is the ongoing inquiry of
Clinton's 1900 campaign for governor. But Sens.
Alfonse D'Amato and Paul Sar anes wrote Start on
Vesterday that the Senate “should not delay its
investigation" .4 that the interests ofthe “'hitewa—

strong interest" in finishing its work.

Transy to introduce
students to Jflllll ”08

By Robert Duffy

Assistant Arts Editor

Renowned X band member
john Doe will be performing at
Transylvania Universit starting
at 8 pm. with juliana I‘IIatfield to
support his solo debut, Kissingxo-
bard.

Nearly two years in the making,

Doe refers to the roup he’s put
to ether as The Jofin Doe Thing.
TEe band is made up of Doe on
vocals and guitar, Smokey Hormel
(The Blasters) on guitar and back—
ing vocals, Brad Houser (Edie
Brickell and The New Bohemians)
on bass, and Joey Waronker
(Beck) on drums.
Also lending su port on the
album are Chafo Quintana
(Cracker) on drums, Sandra Bern—
hard on backing vocals and X
band-mates Exene Cervenka and
DJ. Bonebrake.

Doe’s new album has allowed
him to experiment, take risks, and
go in a wide range of directions,
which captures the essence of
everyday life. Entertainment Week-
ly awarded the album an “A-”,
statin “(Doe’s) brawny, hard-bit-
ten ba lads depict a world in which
love is synonymous with, not a

cure for, desperation. And as
always, his bracing sinewy vocals
provide the perfect complement
for these unsettlin vi ynettes."
New York's Nea'rfry (liescribed
Kixs'ingsobard as a “rare album that
reaches across the alternative and
adventuresorne adult markets.”

(Io-produced by Doe and pro-
ducer/engineer ace Don Gilmore
(Pearl Jam, Temple of the Dog),
Kissingsobard is an album that
crosses many radio format lines to
include everything from alterna-
tive rock to ballads. Doe proves
X’s poWerhouse standing with
tunes like “Love Knows,” “Beer,
Gas, Ride Forever" and “Liar’s
Market.”

In addition to his achievements
as a recording artist, Doe has had a
long and successful career as a film
actor. His latest picture, “Geor—
gia," starringJenniferJason Leigh,
premiered earlier this ear at the
Cannes Film Festival. ther well-
known films in which Doe has
appeared include “Salvador,”
“Great Balls of Fire,” “Road
House” and “Pure Country.”

Although X has influenced
many of today’s younger bands, he
has this to say in an Options inter-

for cause, fun

By Brian Privett

Arts Editor

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Jeremy \Vhite
stood guard over the ri rht side of the stage
at Farm Aid Sunday, making sure no one got
backstage and that everyone in the crowd
was safely enjoying the show.

\Vhite, a UK agricultural economics
junior, and other members of FarmHouse
Social fraternity were a few of the many vol-
unteers that ran the massive concert produc—
tion that attracted about 47,000 people.

“Everything comes back to agriculture,"
said FarmHouse member David Gillis, a UK
biology junior. “This is the perfect way to
help farmers."

\Vhite has a personal interest in the finan-
cial success of Farm Aid. His family has a
farm and competition has made their busi—
ness ver tough.

“Competition is thick and input prices are
through the roof," \Vhite said.

Another member of FarmHouse that vol—
unteered at the show was Mark Sears, a civil
engineering major front Logan County, Ky.
He also has experienced the economic prob—
lems affecting small American farmers.

Sears' family ran a farm that grew tobac-
co, soy beans and corn, but gave up farming
when they couldn't afford it any lon er.

Farm Aid 1995 started off at a litt e after 4
p.m., on a sunny Sunday afternoon with a
welcome dance from a group of Native
American dancers from Arizona.

Then \Villie Nelson took the stage.

Nelson has always been known as a much
better songwriter than singer or musician,
but when he takes the sta e, you have to
think really hard to catch when he sings off-
key or misses rhythms while playing guitar.
You don‘t know why he's good because
you're having too much fun listening.

The crowd welcomed Nelson with thun-
derous applause and a long standing ovation.
He answered by playing a variety of songs
spanning his entire career.

Steve Earle joined Nelson onstage for a
version of “My Old Friend the Blues"
toward the end of the set.

Earle has been absent from the music
scene for a few years after changing the face
ofcount music. I

Afterrhis big hit “Co perhead Road" in
the late eighties, Earle skidded down into a
life ofdrugs that brought his career to a halt.

The crowd was pretty well behaved, until
the Dave Matthews Band took the stage.
When the group was announced, all sorts of
young people rushed the stage and started
dancing along to the infectious grooves.

Janine Kossen, a UK political science
senior and jennifer Fike, a UK mathematics
sophomore, travelled the hour drive from
Lexington to see Farm Aid, but specifically
Dave Matthews, Hootie and the Blowfish
and john Mellencam ).

One highlight o the night was rocker
Mellencamp. He was the consummate rock
star, performing his songs with an ener ry
that got all the crowd moving while fie
played almost every one ofhis hit singles.

At the end ofMellencamp's set, the crowd
got an unusual treat, Mellencamp's bass
player, jeffrey Meyers married his girlfriend
onstage,

After the wedding party left the stage,
Neil Young came on. His performance was
much anticipated by the audience because of
a rumor that recent Young collaborator
Pearljam would perform with him.

But Young has made a career out ofdoing
what eople expect the least.

W en he came onstage there was only a
microphone and a ipe organ. Youn played
an acoustic set incfilding several of Eis most
popular songs from the seventies like “Heart
of Gold."

The show ended with a jam by almost all

left the stage and got into their touring
buses.

Farm Aid 1995 raised quite a bit of money
for financially troubled farmers, but did it
raise the consciousness of the audience?

Kossen seemed to echo a sentiment felt
among the crowd.

“We didn't come here specifically for the
farmers, but now that we re here, we feel
good about it," she said.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — One of the
largest mrties in the United States was
hosted ere in (Iardinal Stadium Sunday
when Farm Aid held its 10th annual bentit
for American farmers.

Forty—seven thousand plus peo le filled
the stadium for the beginning oft e seven-
hour rock and country music concert, fea—
turin‘r some legendary musicians and cur-
rent cLhart toppers.

Concert organizer and Farm Aid
founder \Yillie Nelson tried to set a seri-
ous‘ tone for the benefit earlier in the day at
a news conference, urging fans and the
media to remember that the focus of Farm
Aid was to help farmers.

“This is not a celebration — this is a
black eye on America. VVe’re not here to
celebrate, we're here to tell America about
the plight of the American farmer," Nel-
son S;ll( .

Several representatives of the state and
federal rovernments were on hand, includ—
in r U.- . Secretary of Agriculture Dan
(i ickman and Paul Patton, lieutenant gov-
ernor and Democratic gubernatorial can-
didate.

(Hickman hosted a town hall meeting
with farmers Sunday mornin and dis-
cussed topics ranging from to uce export
figures to how Medicare wilfbe affected by
legislation currently in Congress.

The government should focus more on
helping American, small-time farmers, and
the stilution to American farmers‘ eco-
nomic problems are simple, he said.

“\Ve need to bring up the cost of pro-
duce prices and bring down the operating
costs of farms," Glickman said.

Neil Youn , another of Farm Aid’s
original foum ers, had another simple
solution:

“President Clinton needs to veto the
farm bill currently in Congress and exam-
ine the factory farms po pin up around
the country, which are ilfega under anti-
trust laws.W

“hen the artists took the stage, the
audience members were more interested in
the entertainment than the social messa e.
The rowdy capacit crowd cheered or
each performer an stood up for almost
the entire show.

Alcohol contributed to the rowdiness of
the crowd, with three different companies
running beer concessions, Budweiser,
Miller and Killian’s. However, there were
few arrests for disorderly conduct and
intoxication, said a lefferson County Sher—
iff Department spo 'esman.

Around 200 people were arrested Sun-
day for charges ran ring from possession of
narcotics to disorderly conduct. Officers
said they were not actively looking to make
arrests for drug charges.

“\Ve‘re just here to make sure nothing
gets torn up and nobody gets hurt, but
there are slain—clothes narcotic a rents
here," said fefferson (Iounty Police O ficer

 

Dale Thompson.

The marshal is back in town and this year it‘s
more than just a Homecoming.

Derrick Ramsey, UK's quarterback from 1974-
77, has been named Grand Marshal of Homecom-
ing “)5.

Ramsey has received numerous titles throughout
his football career including Outstanding SEC
Quarterback, first-team All—Southeastern confer-
ence, and third—team All-American, but he is hon—
ored by the title of Grand Marshal.

“I've had some great Homecoming ex )eriences
at UK, so it makes being chosen Gran Marshal
even more meaningful," Ramsey said.

Homecoming this year is against Louisiana State l
and Ramsey has strong memories of the Tigers.
