March and ceremony held to remember King’s ideals

By TONJA WILT
Campus Editor

Bundled up in a coat and plenty
of blankets, 16-month-old Whitney
Henderson could only watch from
her stroller as her mother, Mary,
marched with about 1,300 other
people Saturday to celebrate slain
civil rights leader Rev. Martin Lu-
ther King Jr.

After educating Whitney about
King‘s work, Mary Henderson said
she hopes to walk hand-in-hand
with her daughter in a later march.

“I think she will be doing the
same thing in 10 years, holding my
hand,” said Henderson, a Lexington
resident. “If I stress enough that it
makes a difference, she'll care. My
parents can explain enough of what
we went through."

The march —— held around the
Lexington Campus — attracted stu-
dents as well as Lexington resi-
dents like the Hendersons. They
came to celebrate King‘s 6lst birth-
day and the 2lst anniversary of his
death.

Their reasons for attending the
event were different: Some came
just to watch, others came to pay
tribute.

“If it wasn‘t for Martin Luther
King, my daughter wouldn‘t have
some of the friends she has today.
I‘m supporting my friends (through
the march)," said Linda Johnstone.
a UK fine ans senior.

Virgie Brown, a representative of
Dorcas Chapter 29, order of the
Eastern Star, said he came because
“so much of our history has been
lost. This keeps it alive."

For Betsy Neale of Lexington the
sense of community at the march
was important.

“For some of us in town I think it
is a time to get together (for) those
of us who share these ideals and
see these principles as important
things in our life,” said \‘eale. ex-
ecutive director oi Council for

About 1,300 people participated in a march Saturday celebrating
the ideals of Martin Luther King Jr. Many of the participants attend-
ed a ceremony held later in the Student Center Grand Ballroom.

Peace and Justice. “I think we are
at a point where people are very
aware of some of the gains that
have been made. I don‘t feel that
people have forgotten. and I don’t
feel people are any less apprecia-
rive.”

Although the number of march
participants increased from last
year, some people said they think
that civil rights has lost ground.

King’s work “hasn't regressed.
but I'm afraid the white populous
has regressed because of the atti-
tude of the Reagan administration.
Money was cut for people who
needed it," Johnstone said.

“One march can increase aware—
ness," she said. “Some people in
Lexington say blacks here have got
it good. This is one way to express
that there is a problem. We have to
keep it in the media or it will only

Two UK students have been
selected as recipients of the
1990-91 Heidelberg Scholar-
ships to study for one year at the
University of Heidelberg. the
oldest university in West Ger-
many.

Julia Eastin, a music senior
from Lexington, and Lynne El-
bert, a graduate student in Ger-
man from Louisville, will re—
ceive scholarships funded by the
University of Heidelberg that
cover tuition and most expenses
for an academic year in Germa-
ny.
The Heidelberg Scholars Pro-
gram, which began in 1951, is
one of the University's oldest
and most prestigious programs.
As part of the annual exchange
wrth UK, two University of Hei-
delberg students come to UK to
study on scholarship for a year.

In addition, up to 10 other UK
students can attend the Univer-
sity of Heidelberg, although not
oti scholarship. Applications for
this year's exchange program
are available in the Study
Abroad Office in 105 Bradley
Hall or in 1055 Patterson Office
Tower. Applications must be
submitted by Thursday, Feb. 1.

Through the Heidelberg
Scholars Program, students earn
college credit from a wide range
of classes. Eastin. who studied
German language for three
months at the Goethe Institute in
Germany, is returning to the
country this time to study music
and music history.

Two students selected
for Heidelberg program

“I really loved (Germany). I
like the German language and
the people," she said. “My pro-
posal was that l wanted to go
there and study music. When I
come back I‘d like to go to grad-
uate school in musicology."

Students take a national lan-
guage exam in German to deter—
mine whether they may enroll in
regular classes at Heidelberg or
the university-affiliated Lan-
guage Institute for language
training and other classes.

Elbert studied German as a
non-scholarship Heidelberg ex-
change student in l987-88. She
is returning this year “not so
much for the language but
more now to get in depth in the
literature and history."

“I loved it," she said of Ger-
many. “I really think we can
learn a lot from them. The
land itself is just gorgeous."

And with the recent opening
of the Berlin Wall and the ini—
gration of many East Germans
into West Germany. Elbert said
this “is just the opportune time
to go."

UK study abroad adviser Su-
Iannc Kifcr said the program is
special “because it gives UK stu-
dents the opportunity to study in
a European university and live
as German students do and real-
ly experience German student
life."

Besides the scholarship wins
ners, three UK students and four
German students are participat-
ing in the exchange program.

More students need to be educat-
ed about King‘s work, said Hanna
Fister. a member of the Intercultu-
ral Awareness (iroup and a student
at Transylvania l'niversity.

“The students are entirely un-
knowledgeable about the subject
and (are) apathetic to it," Fister
said.
