Haggin Hall, some residents have
hung a banner in their window:
"Welcome to Hell."

Officials in the Office of Rest-
dence Life view the new security
system. where diner cards are used
to gel irt the front door, as a great
achievetrtetit. However, it has frus‘
trated some students.

”Front a staffing standpoint and
art environtnental standpoint. I
think the security system is a won-
derful improvement,“ said Bob
Clay, director of Residence Life.

While student reaction to the new
system at Haggin may be negative,
Clay said security is the top cori-
cem.

One down side of security is

“Our goal is not to make any
one‘s life more difficult. but given
the nature of Haggin Hall prior to
fall 1991, it became apparent we
had to do soiitething," Clay said.

Prior to the tmpfeiiienLitiort of the
card system llll\ tall and rcitoya-
tiorts completed last fall. Haggin
had 32 entrances. Security proycd
hard to enforce.

Two years ago. an alleged rape
occurred iii Haggin Hall. The stu-

country \lllg‘d‘lting. folk, iii/l arid
chord-criirithing rock 'ri‘ roll, all
tlayored with Knopller's‘ neatly
packaged guitar till~ins and lead
work.

The new album currently is No. l
in l'ric‘iand and No 15 in the timed
Slates.

'ii‘ori Hand.” an anti-war folk
song. emerges from the tade-out or
side two of Brut/ten in Arms.

Abandoned by heavy instrumen-
tation. Knoptler takes the stand
alone. pleading his case against
war. armed with his voice and an
acoustzc gurtar. A sporadic muffled
bass drum and clean National steel
guitar come to his defense, before
an airy synthesizer provides an ee-
rie backdrop.

The resounding roar of kettle
drums thunder to Knoptier‘s pleas,
“The same old fears the same old
crimes. we haven‘t changed since
ancient times."

Dire Straits sixth person on the
album is Nashville pedal steel
player. Paul Franklin. Franklin also
played a key role in the success of
the Norting Hillbillies. Not only is
his presence felt on the country/
rock-a-billy offerings. but Franklin
has the rare ability to weave his
way comfortably into the rock. tau
and blues tunes

Keeping time on the album is stu-

manned the trapsct for Steely Dan.

Kriopllt-r has succeeded in pro-
ducing .i .ontrasting, yet brilliant,

though tans may be wondering
where the radio hits are on this al-
bunt,

While similarities can be drawn,
this album is in no way a stepchild
or mutant prototype to Brothers in
Army Knoptler has moved on mll-
.sically. By scoring in more subtler
ways, Knopfler may lose appeal to
a slight portion of the mass audi-
CllCt‘.

However. one song that the pub-
lic may [L‘L‘L‘HC with open arms is
the hard-rocking “Heavy Fuel." The
song seem somewhat like a continu—
ation of “Money For Nothing." at
least from a lyrical standpoint.

Kiitiptler satirically slashes the
public's perceptions, or misconcep-
tions, of the glit/ and glariior life of
a rock 'n‘ roll star.

“My life makes perfect sense," he
sings, "drugs. money and violence."
Although this song may appear to
rehash of the same ideals that
Knoptler attacked on “Money for
Nothing." Knopller‘s innovative
gurtar breaks camouflage the moldy
lyrics. and somehow catch this old
scene in anew light.

Certain reviewers have picked tip
on Knoplier‘s mainstream exodus.
calling this album. one of Knop-
ller‘s lesser works.

While this critique could prove
true to a certain extent, l‘d rather
listen to a so-Callcd “lesser" Knop»

He said the drop did not hurt the
quality of the RAs selected, “al-
though we recognize that we need
to have a good pool of qualified
folks always available to us.“

Clay said the number of applica-
tions oumumbers the number of po-
sitions at least 3:].

gun hiring graduate students for
hall directors _. the administrative
head of the hall ~~ who were under-
graduates at places other than UK.

“Residence life experience is
transferable,“ Clay said. And he cit-
ed the added maturity.

Clay said while UK graduate stu-

dents are eligible for the positions,
“the pool of UK graduate students
was not sufficient to meet our
needs."

The Change would hurt the m0-
rale of some RAs who aspired to be
hall directors, Clay said.

Rafferty said because of medical
school, he does not want to be a
hall director. Although he said the
change in policy was good. he real-
ized the consequences of the deci-
sion.

“If you become an RA at UK,
your chances of becoming a hall di—
rector have greatly decreased over
the last year," Raffeny said.

Second-semester freshmen are cl-
igible for RA positions. although
Clay said freshmen fill only one of
ll) or l2 openings that occur in the
spring.

Being an RA reqUires students to
wear many hats —— some of which
the residents on their floors tend to
see as black hats.

One of those hats is enforcmg the
University alcohol policy.

“Being a policeman is not our
primary function," Rafferty said.
“But we are encouraged and do en~
force University policies."

“They have to be the best friend,
yet they also have to be the cop,"
Clay said. “That’s a tough role to
play. It's a hazard of the Job."

Clay said hall directors make
about $8,000 per year. Assistant
hall directors make more than
$6,000 per year, including room
and board. and RAs make $3,000
per year, also including room and
board.

While an RA’s salary may sound
like a lot for students. Clay said it
actually is minimum wage. He said
he would like to pay more, but there
is not enough money available for
H‘) people.

“There's not lots of dollars out
there to make a significant differ-
ence," Clay said.

Nonetheless, Clay said the expe-
rience is valuable in other ways.

“We think we have a commodity
that is of value to students," Clay
said.

People come back to him and talk
about how being a resident adviser
helped their careers. especially with
time management and communica-
tion skills.

Rafferty said the opportunity to
help others is enticing. “One gets a
e hanee to make a difference in peo—
ple‘s lives." he said.

"We have an absolutely wonder-
iul staff," Clay said. They are

the bills and they do a tremendous

Soviet free press
unlikely, media say

By ALEXANDER IVANKO
National Geographic

MOSCOW - ls a free press real-
ly possible in the Soviet l'nion‘.’

Faced with an economy in near
ruins, Soviet newspaper editors say
progress toward an independent
press depends on who owns the
presses and newspnnt and who at-
tracts the advertisers

Editors agree that the failed coup
the past August removed the last
shackles oi .ontrol that had put cen—
sors in ncwsrooitis and KGB spies
among repuners A 1990 press free-
dom law ended govemment censor-
ship and granted iiidiViduals and in-
stitiitions the right to publish.

But gltisimsi. or openness. is no
guarantee of a free press like the
first Allit'l' intent ot the US (”on

stitutioii Ridding publications of
KGB influence will take time, edi»
tors predict.

And editors say that economics.
not principles and politics. will de-
termine who survives indepen-
dence. Already circulation wars
rage between (lid-illlt' newspapers
and rival upstarLs.

spondcim have been heading home

the telephone, an alarm clock, an iir
truder and a smoke alarm, Rosen—
berg said.

”The dogs are trained to go and
identify the sound and then come
back and make body contact with
the person." Rosenlwrg said “Then
it goes back and forth betneen the
sound and the person and leads the
person to the sound "

If the smoke alarm goes off, tti.

er sound, from a baby's cry to a mi-
crowave.

Linda Laporte. a 35-year-old
graduate student at UK, needs a ser-
\ ice dog. not a hearing dog. Laporte
has rheumatoid arthritis and has ar-
tificial knees and an artificial hip
and wants a dog to help her keep
her balance.

“When I fall, I break something.“
\hk‘ said “I broke my neck last
summer. I don't want to fall again,“

Laporte has been looking for a
servrce dog program since breaking
her neck, but most were too expen-
sive and their waiting lists too long.

“\lx parents live in Michigan and
they st‘III me an article about Paws
:r‘iat appeared in the newspaper."
"I got the article and

t t i
\ll\ \titi,

Kim‘s (Rosenberg) name from two
other people at the same time, so I
figured that meant I should look
into rt.n

Hearing dogs receive about two
months of basic obedience and
sound alert training at Paws‘ train-
ing center in Byron Center, Mich,
and then get the rest of their train-
ing in the recipient's home.

Service dogs get six to 12 months
training at the center and another
six months training in the home.

“\‘ervrce dogs are more tailored
to the individual," Rosenberg said.
“If A person is in a chair, for exam-
ple. the dog will be taught to pull
the c ll’dlf It a person is ambulatory,
the do: I\ taught to brace. because
frequently the person is unsteady.”

All service dogs are taught to
pick up any object, Rosenberg said.
The dogs are given backpacks to
carry the person's belongings and a
strap with a hook that can be
latched onto a door so the dog can
pull it open.

“Sometimes bank or store coun-
ters are too high (for the person). so
(the dog) can be taught to take
something, money or whatever,
jump up and make the exchange,“
Rosenberg said.

Rosenberg learned of Paws from
a dog show friend who works for
Paws at its base in Michigan. She
has participated in the program for
18 months and has actively pursued
applicants and funds since last win-
ter.

“I’ve been getting more active
with fund raising," she said. “I
made up my mind that we are going
to get a dog in Kentucky. and I
needed to get rolling with it.

“The need is tremendous. It's no
problem finding people who need
dogs. The problem is finding the
funding."

Hearing dogs cost 34.000 and
service dogs cost $6,000.

The cost includes all training, in
the center and at the home, and the
dog's certification.

“Certification means they get
their harness, whatever it may be.
an orange collar and leash and an
ID card," Rosenberg said. “It gives
the dog access just like a seeing-eye
dog. They can go anywhere."
