Anti—prejudice
task force plans
for busy spring

By MARY MADDEN
Staff Writer

To increase students’ awareness
of prejudice on the Lexington Cam-
pus, a task force established by the
Student Government Association
will begin several projects next se-
mester.

The Prejudice Reduction Task
Force, formed this fall, spent the se-
mester organizing some events to
keep things running smoothly for
the spring semester.

"This semester we didn’t do
things on campus because we want-
ed to make this semester more of a
planning (period) and come out in
the spring semester with some pro—
jects and programs,” said SGA Edu-
cation Senator Christa Collins, head
of the task force.

The group has planned a work-
shop on prejudice reduction for the
beginning of next semester. The
workshop, which will be held from
9 am. to 4:30 pm. Feb. 2, is the
task force's major project next se-
mester.

“This workshop will be our first

big project," she said.

Currently, she said, the task force
is trying to obtain funding for the
workshop from various sources on
campus. When students retum for
the spring semester. SGA will begin
publicizing the workshop.

“After that and throughout the rest
of the semester, we want to have
some follow up (projects),” she said.

Those follow-up programs will in-
clude both formal and informal dis-
cussions around the campus about
prejudice reduction.

The task force also plans to reach
students next semester through an
established SGA committee — the
National Issues Forum.

This year’s NIF topic is “Reme-
dies for Racial Inequality," another
way for the task force to educate
students about prejudice, she said.

“We want to have these forums
on different areas of campus,” Col-
lins said. “I’d also like to have some
informal discussions with different

pans of campus."
In the spring, the task force also

Plasma- giving proves profitable

By CHRIS MUSSLER
Contributing Writer

College students are always in
need of money, for reasons ranging
from books to tuition to entertain-
ment expenses, and one money-

maldng scheme of choice at UK is .

to donate plasma.

Plasma Alliance Inc., at 2043 0x-
ford Circle, serves the Lexington
Campus and surrounding areas and
offers a chance to earn up to $160
per month donating plasma

A person may donate plasma
twice in a seven-day period, said
Scott Saulsbury, assistant manager
of Plasma Alliance. Those who
weigh 160 pounds or more receive

$15 for their donation. Those
weighing under 160 pounds receive
$13. A person must weigh at least
110 pounds to donate plasma.

Saulsbury said the plasma col-
lected is the chief raw material used
to make many life-saving products.
For example, it helps produce anti-
hemophilac factor, a treatment for
hemophiliacs; immune globulins, a
treatment for mumps, hepatitis and
rabies; and serum albumen, a treat-
ment for shock victims and burn
patients.

Saulsbtn'y, however, said he
doesn’t believe that philanthropy is
the reason people donate their plas-
ma.

Feeding, helping only
part of Army mission

By JULIA LAWSON
Staff Writer

After exam week is over. while
everyone is immersed in crumpled
wrapping paper, while singing car-
ols and eating a bounty of home-
made treats, some people will be
spending their Christmas Day serv-
ing dinner to those who consider the
Salvation Army their home.

The Salvation Army works to
make the holiday season a little bet-
ter for needy people, including serv-
ing a Christmas dinner, which will
provide food for about 300 to 500
people. The dinner will be served
5:30 pm. at the Salvation Army,
736 W. Main St.

There are many programs geared
toward helping the Salvation Army.
The Mountain of Love. a 17-year-
old program is designed to collect
food for the Salvation Army. At
Randall’s and County Market gro-
cery stores, there are bins in which
customers can place purchased
goods for the Salvation Army to
distribute.

With this food, they create food
baskets for needy families. The Sal-
vation Army interviews more than
1,000 families, and then, according
to family size, distributes a food to
eligible families.

The Salvation Army also spon-
sors the Angel Tree, which allows
shoppers to select a card with a
child’s name on it and purchase a
giftt‘orthechildOnetreeislocated
in Fayette Mall. Children 12 and

under participate in this program by
having their parents fill out applica-
tions stating the children’s ages,
sizes and what toys they would like
to receive.

The Coat Crusade provides coats
for both children and adults. Along
with Han's Dry Cleaners, WVLK-
FM and WKYT-TV sponsor this
program. which allows people to
donate their coats. Han’s cleans
them for free and gives them to the
Salvation Army to distribute.

WKQQ-FM began the program
three years ago, and although the
sponsors have changed, Hart's has
continued to participate. From
Nov.12-21, the Salvation Army
gave more than 487 coats to needy
people.

The Salvation Army also spon-
sors the Prisoner Toy List. The Sal-
vation Anny gives gifts to children
whose parents will be incarcerated
during the Christmas holidays. The
children are unaware of their partic-
ipation in the program and think
that the gifts are from their parents.

Volunteers help the Salvation
Army through the Christmas sea-
son. Some families bring their chil-
dren to serve at the Christmas din-
ner so they can experience
something besides their usual fami-
ly activities.

Local churches are steady volun-
teers. One church has offered to
provide up to 100 families with a
variety of items for Christmas this

way to make a buck,” he said.

Saulsbury added that it is impos-
sible to contract the acquired im-
mune deficiency syndrome virus by
donating plasma, and Plasma Alli-
ance does everything possible to
ensure that donors aren’t AIDS car-
riers.

“We interview every donor to see
if they are in any high-risk catego-
ries before they donate, and we nm
an AIDS test on every donation we
receive," he said,

Saulsbury said the center doesn't
keep records on how many donors
are UK students, but he believes
the numbers are substantial.

“We see UK students in here all
the time, eSpecially around Christ-

mastime and spring break when
students need extra cash.” he said.

UK junior Darrin Ioines is a
“regular” at Plasma Alliance.

“I'vc donated about II or 12
times this semester —-— I rarely miss
an opportunity," he said. “At the
beginning of the year I needed
money and my roommate brought
me over here. I was skeptical at
first and thought it might be harm—
ful to me, but once I saw the doctor
I was fine. It‘s the easiest money I
have ever made." Ioincs said.

families who cannot afford it.

Houses are constructed or redo-
vated through volunteer labor and
leased to the underprivileged tenants
interest-free for 20 years. In return,
beneficiaries must contribute 500
hours of labor, or “sweat equity." on
the construction of their own hous~
es, or on various Habitat houses in
the area

The interest-free payments are
then used to fund other houses With-
in the city. After payments on the
house have been completed. the
lease is handed over to the tenants.
who then own the home.

Although Habitat for Humanity
was started with the idea of action
being an integral and essential pan
of Christian faith. all are welcome to
help them help the community.

Kris Snyder. president of the UK
Habitat chapter, is working to up-
hold that idea

“All are invited to come out and
help." she said.

Need help with finals?

In an effort to increase awareness
among students, faculty and staff.
UK's chapter plans to hold campus~
wide fund-raisers in conjunction
with the national organization.

A 15-townhouse structure will be
built near downtown Lexington as
pan of an international Habitat cele-
bration tour. Tour groups will start
their voyages from points around
the world and will converge in Co-
lumbus. Ohio, in September.

Tour groups will help assist both
the Lexington affiliate and UK stu-
dent chapter in constructing the pro-
ject. Many other houses within the
project are still without sponsors as
the ground-breaking dates ap-
proach.

The campus chapter and Lexing-
ton affiliate have enjoyed a close re-
lationship with one another since
the founding of the student group in
the spring of 1990. UK‘s chapter
has helped with a number of the
Lexington groups houses including
ones on Detroit Street, Valley Ave.,
and Alabama Street. This is. howev-
er, the first time the campus chapter
has funded a house of its own.

UK officials complaining
about Robinson trespassing

By JAY BLANTON
Associated Press

LOUISVILLE. Ky. — UK has
complained that officials with Arch
Mineral Corp. have been trespass-
ing on Robinson Forest.

And while an Arch official has
conceded that trespassing has oc-
curred on several occasions. the
company contends that UK's com-
plaint further proves that the forest
is not a public park.

The public park contention is cen-
tral to UK's assertion that the state
should not allow Arch to strip mine
105 acres it leases near the Clemons
Fork watershed, a primary center
for UK research in the forest.

By law, mining is prohibited
within 300 feet of a public park.

Most recently, trespassing oc-
curred late last week when officials
with Arch and a consulting firm
hired by Arch, McCoy & McCoy of
Lexington, were caught on forest
property conducting “various scien—

: ,tific and geologic studies." accord-

raw: ”Mm/(£46 “ View fl/wfk AS ’teMflFae/flaesc'oemel?“ W whim/{#065715 fl'kramw try/Fea- MID ca

ing to a letter to Arch from UK at~
tomey Paul Van Booven.

The officials were then escorted
off the property by Robinson Forest
employees.

The letter says that Arch needs to
contact UK officials before going
on forest property.

Arch attorney Blair Gardner. in a
letter dated Monday, conceded that
the incident had taken place. and in
fact, “on at least six occasions em-
ployees have ventured upon your
land without (UK's) knowledge and
authorization.”

Moreover, Gardner wrote “we re-
gard the Robinson Forest as being
private property, and therefore
closed to the public."

Reached by phone yesterday,
Gardner tried to play down the inci-
dent, saying he was embarrassed by
it But he said that “of course (the
park is) private property It’s not a
park. The university has found an
aspect of the surface mining regula-
tions which they’re trying to assert
to their advantage.”

UK spokesman Bernie Vonde-
rheidc said the University doesn’t
consider Robinson Forest “private
property at all. it’s the people’s
property.”

He characterized Gardner's refer-
ence to private property a question
of semantics and said the University
has a responsibility for maintaining
the security of the forest.

In a related matter. a hearing has
been scheduled for Dec. 17 in Brea-
thitt County to discuss the lands un-
suitable for mining petition filed
early this year by three leading envi-
ronmental groups.

The petition seeks to prohibit

~ mining in 10,000 acres .in the main

body of the forest. UK trustees have
authorized the University’s adminis-
tration to join the part of the petition
that covers the 4,000 acres of the
Clemons Fork Watershed

The University has recently an-
thorized bids for strip mining on
outlying tracts of the forest — out‘
side the acreage covered in the lands
unsuitable petition.

University sends message to students
‘It's uncool to gay-bash at Ohio State’

By FLORESHNE PUHNELL
Kernel Wire Service

In one dramatic move last spring,
Ohio State University reaffirmed a
discrimination policy that some stu-
dents had been ignoring for seven
months even though there were
warning letters, meetings and hear-
ings.

In about 10 hours on May 23 —
during finals week — the university
moved 34 students and closed the
third floor men‘s wing of Bradley
Residence Hall, where two homo-
sexual residents were harassed for
seven months.

“If we were in the same situation
again, we wouldn’t hesitate to do
the same thing," said Bill Hall, di-
rector of residence and dining halls.

As a result, the climate for homo-

sexual students at OSU is dramati-
cally better this fall, says Michael
Scarce, vice president of the Ohio
State Gay and Lesbian Alliance.

The university escalated its educ
cation program for freshmen, par-
ents, faculty and staff. It also re-
vamped its judicial process to
handle harassment cases faster.

“The message is: It‘s uncool to
gay-bash at Ohio State. If you do,
here's what's going to happen to
you," said Scarce, a 21- -year- -old
communications major frgm New
Paris, Ohio.

Scarce and his roommate were
the targets of hate mail and threat-
ening telephone calls. Among signs
posted on their door: “Die fags in
room 332,” and “Go home, we
don’t want you here.”

Gay & Lesbian Task Force knows
of 1,329 incidents of anti-gay vio-
lence on college campuses in 1989.
That includes 1,089 acts of verbal
harassment Of the remaining 240
cases, there were 127 acts of van-
dalism, 15 assaults, three bomb
threats and two arsons.

The task force’s campus project
tracks acts of violence against ho-
mosexuals on college campuses and
works against harassment. It began
fielding calls in 1984.

“Since then, gay and lesbian stu-
dents have been under siege," said
Kevin Berrill, director of campus
and anti-violence projects.

“The caveat is that the figures re-
ported give only a glimpse of
what’s happening around the coun-
try," he said.

The Salvation Army also offers a
program in which a church, fratemi-
ty or similar group chooses a family
to sponsor. They provide dinner for
the family and are encouraged to
get to know them.

A popular program is the Christ-
mas bell-ringing program. Al-
though most people are accustomed
to seeing volunteers ringing bells.
the Salvation Army has begun to

Many UK students organizations

Ledford has life outside sports

By CHARLES VANLAHR
Contributing Writer

Cawood Ledford is human.

There. That should stop any mis-
conceptions that this popular radio
sports announcer
has done nothing
but call play-by-
plays for football
and basketball .
games at UK for
37 years.

He is like any-
one else. His
desk stays clut-
tered with pa-
?“ b°°ks and LEDFORD
memos.

Lunch comes from a plastic bag,
not a silver platter. And it‘s not rare
to find traces of cigarette ashes on
his pants.

In his almost four decades on the
job, Ledford has earned the title
“Voice of the Wildcats.”

During his career, he has wit-
nessed more than 1,000 basketball
games, 390 football games, two
NCAA basketball championships
and at least four NCAA investiga-
tions.

The Harlan County native stum-
bled onto radio broadcasting after he
began announcing high school foot-
ball games for a Harlan radio station
— a part-time job after his high
school teaching career ended.

But that temporary job brought
Ledford to UK and turned what he
considered a hobby into a long lived
career

Ledford. who has seen nine
coaches come and go at UK, began
in 1953 — the year UK was in the
spotlight with football coach Paul
“Bear" Bryant.

Another famous coach also has in
t0wn —— Adolph Rupp, whom Led-
ford had a close relationship with
for decades.

Ledford said a lot has changed
since then.

Wyche still
doesn’t regret
call in 1987

Assoclated Press

CINCINNATI — As Bengals
coach Sam Wyche ponders Sun-
day's game with the San Francisco
49ers, he has no second thoughts
about the last time the teams met in
the regular season.

Despite Cincinnati’s bungling of
what looked like a sure win, Wyche
still says his play calling was sound.

“The strategy was right, and it's
what we‘ll do again if it comes up in
this game,” Wyche said. “It was
dead on the money. It’s the same
play I‘d call again, only we’d exe-
cute it right this time."

Although the Bengals have lost to
San Francisco in the Super Bowl
twice since I981, the bizarre ending
of their September 1987 game is the
one most subject to second guess-
mg.

Cincinnati led 26—20 and had the
ball with 54 seconds to play. Boom-
er Esiason took three snaps, drop-
ping to his knees each time. But that
failed to run out the clock and left
the Bengals at fourth-and-ZS with
six seconds.

Rather than punt or take an inten-
tional safety, Wyche called for a
sweep. James Brooks was tackled
immediately for a loss, San Francis-
co took over with two seconds re-
maining, and Joe Montana threw a
touchdown pass to Jerry Rice.

“It was incredible. Anything that
could happen to us that year did,"
Esiason said.

UK play-by~play man Cawood Ledford talks to basketball coach Rick Pitino in his popular postgame
show. Ledford, a veritable legend in Kentucky, has been covering UK sports for the past 38 years.

“The biggest change has been the
emergence of blacks and the in-
crease in women's sports teams,” he
said.

And the evolution of big basket-
ball arenas and football stadiums
has brought the Southeastern Con-
ference up to the national power-
house level, said Ledford, who wit-
nessed the addition of UK's 57,000-
seat football stadium and the
23,000—seat basketball arena.

Ledford said such status has
helped not only the schools, but also
the people whose jobs are focused
around the teams.

Although he is unsure how much
longer he will be the “Voice of the
Wildcats," Ledford’s onc‘ycar con-
tract gives him an option.

But he said he plans to hang up
his microphone when the work isn’t

fun anymore.

So far. Ledford says he has no
complaints.

Ledford conducts pregame and
postgame interviews in addition to
calling play-by-plays.

He writes a brief report called
“Cawood‘s Comments" for local tel-
evision station WKYT-TV and a
weekly newspaper, “Cawood on
Kentucky," Ledford‘s own sports
publication.

In UK Spons Information director
Chris Cameron’s book, Basketball

Pitino said, “When I heard someone
joking that Cawood was thinking
about retiring, that probably both-
cred me as much as anything I heard

Bush ‘not optimistic’ about Iraqi Withdrawal

Iv LAURA KING
Associated Press

Iraqi President Saddam Hussein
was reportedly offering yesterday to
put “all issues” on the negotiating
table, but President Bush said yes-
terday he's “not optimistic" about
mospects for an Iraqi withdrawal
from Kuwait.

SPECIALS

Saddam's latest surprise came as
top Bush administration aides
warned that Iraq must pull out of
Kuwait or face the prospect of a
devastating military strike.

Israel, too, gave Saddam one of
its most forceful warnings to date,
saying it would “destroy his securi-
ty, hurt him until he is sorry" if he
used current peace moves 8 a cover

for aggression against the Jewish
state.

The Cable News Network quoted
a ranking Iraqi source it did not
identify as saying, “All issues are
on the table, everything.” It said
Saddam was feeling enormous pres-
sure to withdraw from Kuwait

Bush, on a South American visit.
was asked about the report.

"I'm not optimistic. I see no evi-
dence Saddam Hussein is willing to
comply fully with the UN. resolu-
tions," he told reporters in Argenti~
na.

Nonetheless, the report sent oil
prices down more titan $2 a barrel
on the New York Mercantile Ex-
change.

The Bush administration has said
a planned visit to Baghad by Secre-
tary of State James A. Baker III —
and a visit to Washington by Iraqi
Foreign Minister Tariq Aziz — are
for the purpose of giving Saddam a
strong warning that he must get out
of Kuwait now, not to open wide-
ranging negotiations.

The State Department announced
yesterday that Iraq had accepted the

offer for talks, and that the dates

were being worked out.

Moscow, meanwhile, was making
conciliatory moves. agreeing to dis-
cuss compensation payments to
Iraq. The move came as the Bagh-
dad govemment prepared to begin
freeing more than 3,200 Soviet citi-
zens.

The Sovitts are among thousands
of foreigners who were trapped by
Iraq' 3 Aug. 2 invasion of Kuwait.
On yesterday, a group of American
women arrived in Baghdad and said
they hoped to win the release of
their hostage husbands.

“Saddam told us if we come here
we will not go back empty-handed."
said Dawn Bazner of Detroit after
arriving in the Iraqi capital.

The State Department has discou-
raged private hostage- -freeing mis-
sions, saying the emissaries put
themselves in danger and also risk
being used for propaganda purpos~
es.

In a series of statements yester-
day, Baker, CIA director William
Webster and Gen Colin L. Powell,
chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, all took a tough position on
what might happen if Iraq refuses to
give up Kuwait.

“The United States is not going to
blink on this one,” Powell said in a
speech at a London research insti-
tute.

“If we have to use force, if it
comes to that the United States
intends to use overwhelming force
to win decisively, as quickly as pos-
sible with as few casualties as possi-
ble,” he said.

Baker. appearing before the Sen-
ate Foreign Relations Committee,
stopped short of saying the United
States would strike militarily if Iraq
strll holds Kuwait after Jan. 15, the

deadline for withdrawal established
last week by the United Nations Se-
curity Council.

But if force must be used, “it will
be used suddenly, massively and de-
cisively," he said. “Congress and
the American people must tell Sad-
dam Hussein in unmistakable ac-
tions and words: ‘Get out of Kuwait
now or risk all.“

Baker said that so far, UN.-
imposed sanctions have had little ef-
fect on Iraq’s s“inclination to with-
draw” from Kuwait, which it oVer-
ran Aug. 2.

Webster voiced similar senti-
ments in an appearance before the
House Armed Services Committee.
He said it would be risky to rely on
sanctions alone to get Iraq to relin-
quish Kuwait.

“There is no assurance or guaran-
tee that economic hardships will
compel Saddam to change his poli-
cies,“ he said.

Congress has been pressing the
administration to seek its approval
before going to war in the gulf.

In Baghdad. a Soviet diplomat
said more than 200 exit visas were
issued yesterday for Soviet citizens,
and that an evacuation flight was set
for Thursday.

Soviet Foreign Ministry spokes-
man Vitaly Churkin said the Krem-
lin was willing to discuss compen-
sation payments for Iraq for
allowing Soviet citizens to leave be-
fore their work contracts expired.

The Baghdad government made
its demand for compensation earlier
this week, when it announced more
than 3.200 Soviet experts would be
allowed to go home.

The Israeli warning to Saddam
came from Foreign Minister David
Levy, in remarks to lawmakers.

His coments reflected the appar-
ent unease of Israeli officials at the
prospect of a resolution of the gulf
crisis that would leave the Iraqi
president's army and missiles in-
tact.

“If anyone drinks that through
some maneuver in the name of
peace he will be able to continue to
threaten with the a'm of surprising
Israel, he will find Israel ready, al-
ways, with its might, to destroy his
security, to hurt him until he is sor-
ry and regrets his action,” Levy
said.

In other developments:

-A 57-year-old British man held
by Iraq at a strategic site has died in
captivity, British officials said yes-
terday. He died Tuesday of an ap-
parent heart attack at the undis-
closed strategic site where he was
being held hostage, they said.

-In the Philippines, President Co-
razon Aquino’s government sharply
raised fuel prices because of the
soaring cost of crude oil, caused by
the gulf crisis. The price of gas
nearly doubled, and long gas lines
