Gaines a

By GREGORY A. HALL
Associate Editor

Enjoying the beauty of racing at
Saratoga in New York this August.
John Gaines wasn’t
simply drinking about
his next wager.

He was thinking of a
different gamble ——
building UK's new cen-
tral library. At UK, ad-
ministrators‘ facsimile
machines were kept
busy with news from
Saratoga. Not racing re-
sults. but Gaines' ideas
for the library fund-
raising campaign.

“He has worked near-
ly full time on the li-
brary effort for the past
year and that simply
has to be, in the end,
helpful." said Paul Wil-
lis. UK director of ii-
braries.

“It‘s a very large undertaking,"
Gaines said. It is our very rea-
listic goal to bond the citizens of
the commonwealth to a book.

"We have been able) to bond
them to a basketball and. although
there are many people who will
say it cannot be done. I totally dis-
agree with that. In fact, I think it
will be much easier to bond people
to a book than it is to basketball."

Taking what conventional wis-
dom says can’t be done. and turn-
ing it into reality has become an
avocation for Gaines. The former
Owner of Gainesway Farm is re—
sponsible for the Breeders‘ Cup
and the Kentucky Horse Park.

The 63‘year-old connoisseur of
art also aided the UK Art Museum
and the Catholic Newman Center
and helped start the Gaines Center
for the Humanities and the Max-
well Cluck Center for Equine Re-
search.

back at his career he's accom-

“His presence as a resource and
(his) creativity makes you think
the unthinkable is possible,” said
Rev. Dari Noll. pastor of the New—
man Center, where Gaines is a pa-
rishioner.

“The contribution is as much of
spirit as it is money," said Ray-
mond Betts. director of the Gaines
Center. “They (John and his wife
Joan) remain constantly involved.“

Gaines said taking on big pro-
jecLs is something he enjoys.

“I like big projects. I like big
ideas. l like big people. I like
working with big people,“ Gaines
said. “But most of all I enjoy big
results.

state capitol a hundred years ago,"
he said, “More lives have been

Library could mean move for church —

By BOBBY KING
Senior Stati Writer

Ralph Fox has read all about
UK‘s plans to build a new library
on or near the land where his
church now stands. But he hasn't
heard an official peep from the
University,

That‘s why Fox, an elder at the
University Heights Church of
God, isn‘t too concerned about
what may happen

“We‘ve found the articles in the
paper interesting." Fox said.
“We‘re not in the real estate busi-
ness. We‘re in the business of
preaching the gospel of Jesus

Christ. We'd just like to keep on
with business as usual "

UK has proposed building a new
central library along ililltop -\x':‘-
nue in the area of Clifton t‘irtie.

Committee looks at

AIDS speaker seeks
KSU administration

‘sexual evolution’

Staff reports

Suzi Landolphi wants students to
goon a quest.

But not the kind of that requires
travel. She is urging people to begin
a “sexual evolution.” creating a
“hot. sexy and safer environment
between peo-
ple."

Landolphi,
who travels
around the
country preach-
ing safe sex to
college students,
spoke recently
at Memorial
Hall.

5'.” sue-“ed LANDOLPHI
the importance of
communication in a sexual relation-
ship, as well as “honesty. trust.
whipped cream and trapezes.“

“Couples should communicate
before having sex.“ she said. “This
contributes heavily towards having
great sex."

The show also was designed to
inform people about prevention of
the acquired immune deficiency
syndrome and avoiding HIV—risk
behavior. which includes unprotect-
ed sex as well as lowering the im-
mune system through activities like
smoking. drinking and sleeping ir-
regularly.

"Dnigs. tobacco and stress seri-

ously reduce the body‘s ability to
fight off disease." she said.

She said people used to give peo-
ple diagnosed with cancer a “death
sentence," but since this has
changed. people slowly are begin-
ning to improve their perceptions of
AIDS. A Similar death sentence im-
posed on AIDS carriers has detri-
mental physical and psychological
effects, she said.

“We should be telling these peo~
ple to live fully, rather than prepar-
ing them for death. People with
HIV can have fulfilling. beautiful
lives."
