Establist 1894

at the White House

By JANICE GALLAGHER
Reporter

Although the White House may
represent only a monument, a mu-
seum or the president’s home to
some, for Glenn Algie it was his
boss for the summer.

Algie, a political science and eco
nomies senior, interned in the White
House‘s department of presidential
advance after winning an internship

a nationwide contest among
the chapters of Alpha Tau Omega
fraternity. Algie, who is president of
UK’s chapter, was chosen out of ms
ATO chapters to intern at the White
House during June and July.

The department in which Algie
worked sent workers out to locations
that the president planned to visit.
The workers prepared the area for
the speech. “Planning ahead of time
is what makes a successful presi-
dential speech," he said.

The preparations included orga-
nizing a special area for the press to

Talk probes
problems of
black doctors

By scorr WARD
Staff Writer

Black medical students had a
chance to meet and interact with
“role models" at a workshop titled
“Minorities in Medicine" yesterday.

The workshop was presented by
the Medical Student Support Serv-
ices, a group cosponsored by the of-
fice of the dean of the College of
Medicine and the department of psy-
chiatry. Dr. Michael Lyles, assistant
professor of psychiatry, said the
workshop focused on the difficulties
of being a minority member in the
health care field.

He told the 20 students and faculty
members who attended the
workshop that they would have “an
opportunity to interact with some
role models who have already
walked down the road you‘re about
to tread," in his introduction to the
featured speaker, Dr. Arma Peltier.
an internal medicine specialist in
private practice in Lexington.

“We, as black people . . . are con-
fronted by a lot of adversities,“
Peltier told the group. He said these
adversities stem partly from past
medical discrimination in the United
States. He cited such examples as
performing hysterectomies on black
women complaining of stomach
cramps and experimenting with
syphilis on black men.

He said there were only 5,000
black medical practitioners in the
United States although there are 20
million blacks. This. he said, has led
to a situation in which black physi-
cians have no voice. He said the
black students should “band togeth-
er" because “they won't listen to

stand during a speech, Algie said.
Other job responsibilities included
helping the Secret Service escort
politicians to and from the White
House, keeping them away from the
crowds.

Algie once escorted Jim Bunning,
a former Kentucky state senator
who ran unsuccessfully against Mar-
tha Layne Collins in the 1982 guber-
natorial race, from behind the
scenes to the president's VIP area.

“Most of the jobs were in town on
the White House lawn,“ Algie said.
There were two out-of-town assign-
ments that required the advance de-
partment to travel a week ahead of
the president. This was when he
spoke to the National Campers and
Hikers Association in Bowling
Green, Ky., and to a Special Olym-
pics group in Long Island, NY.

“Communication is a big prob-
lem," Algie said. “They must have
an extensive network of amplifica-
tion."

Another problem the advance de-

partment must be aware of is that
someone may try to “take a
potshot" at the president, who usual-
ly has about 50 security men sur-
rounding him, Algie said.

Besides working with the Secret
Service, Algie met senators, the
heads of the Reagan-Bush commit-
tee and Edwin Meese III, counselor
to the president. “That was a thrill,"
Algie said.

Lebanon. 3 country divided by

lence and death. In a memorial
service held at the Newman Center
yesterday morning for all who have
died there. the Lebanese Students
Association wanted to stress the op—

Ghassan Salamoun, secretary of
the group. said: “Despite the tur-
moil that war has caused, Lebanon
is a loving. peaceful nation. We love
and desire democracy, but right now
it‘s impossible."

The memorial service was the
theme of the 11:15 am. mass. Seve-

Club educates fashion majors on careers

By CHRIS WHELAN
Staff Writer

The world of fashion has an “edu-
cational liaison" at UK — the Tex-
tiles. Clothing and Merchandising
Club.

The club offers this liaison func-
tion to students in the College of
Home Economics because it “pro-
vides readily applicable informa-
tion," said Teresa Rice, club presi-
dent.

According to Vice President Rhon-

out Saturday with its 37-7 victory
.over North Texas State. For mils,

da Jones, the textiles, clothing and
merchandising majors have several
career options open to them, al-
though many students think their
only options are to become buyers.
The club allows students to become
more aware of the other job oppor-
tunities such as color analysis.
wardrobe consulting and fashion
coordinating, she said.

According to Karen Ketch, the
club‘s adviser, the textiles club also
serves as a professional link for stu-
dents; although the club does not ac-

tually nno iobs for its members, the
members .iave the opportunity to
meet professionals in their field.

Ketch said the club brings in guest
speakers such as designers. buyers
and advertisers. One of the more re-
cent speakers was local designer Ar-
nette Travis. who had a sportswear
design purchased by a company in
New York. She showed the group
separates and dresses she had de-
signed.

Jones said the group had an ap-
parel buyer from McAlpin‘s depart-

ment store talk with the club. Jones
said that according to the buyer. a
fashion career wasn't all glamour.
and that there “is a lot of dirty
work.“

The club is planning a community
service project around Christmas
which may be a youth clothing dona-
tion, Rice said.

Although the 40-member club is
made up of mostly textiles. clothing
and merchandising majors. it is
open to all students. Ketch said.

Club sells Christmas greeting cards
to earn funds for UNICEF program

By MELISSA BELL
Reporter

Many shopping centers already
have decked their halls with decora-
tions, and the UK Cosmopolitan Club
is getting into the act by selling
Christmas cards.

The Cosmopolitan Club, an organi-
zation of American and international
students. is selling greeting cards in
the Student Center from 10 am. to 4
pm. weekdays through Dec. 7. Pro-
cesdsfromthecardsaleswillgoto
UNICEF except for 10 percent,
whichwillgototheclub.

"I think it‘s a nice combination of
charity and fund-raising,“ said Per
clgeuLvoi-sen, sports chairman of the

Greeting cards, stationery, chil-
dren’s games and pinion, cook-

books and cant without greetings
are available. Prices range from
$3.50 to $11. and many of the greet-
ing earth were printed from artwork
donated by international artists.

After one week of sales, Pat Dan-
ridge, president of the club, said
club members have made about $300
to $400. and they hope to earn more
than last year‘s Si .500 total.

“We don't have a goal per se. We
just do as much as we can. because
it is a good charity to help out kids
overseas," Danridge said.

She added that sales are going
well so far. The club ordered about
500 boxes of greeting earth to begin
with, and it may be necessary to
reorder.

The sales began earlier this year
to give inexperienced members a
chance to become accustomed to
sales procedures. “If you come right
in when it is going to be prime time,
it is very difficult if you haven't
been selling before," Danridge said.

The club is also involved in social
and crosscultural activities. Dan-
ridge said more Americans should
get involved in the club. “We know
that there are more people who have
interests in overseas concerns."

During this Christmas, the club
will host a party and gift-giving seso
sion at Eastern State Hospital. In
the spl'inc, a Cosmopolitan Cafe,
sponsored by families that host in-
ternational students with the help of
the club, will serve pastries from
different coimtries. Danridge said.

touched on aspects of the memorial.

The Lebanese songs were for
many the most touching part of the
service. Dorian Sfeir, a member of
the association, said: “The entire
servit ‘ is held to sympathize with
those who have. died in the cause for
freedom, especially the American
Marines. But the songs are special.
We call them runaway songs. They
are not written They are felt. The
music is made up as the song goes
on. It is a song of the heart."

The first song, “Come Among
Us." was sung before communion,
and the second song, “Lord, You
Are My Way.” was performed dur-
ing communion, According to Sfeir,
both songs were sung to “praise God
and remember those who fought for
peace."

The group‘s president, George
Hamouche. said the association was
formed two years ago and now has

about 4,000 members nationally. in-

“The reason we became a group,“
Hamouche said. "was to clarify the
Lebanese position on issues. We also
wanted people to see the true image
of Lebanon. a peace-loving coun-
try."

He said there are about 4 million
people in Lebanon. Of that number,
about 3 million want the United
States there for protection. The re-
maining 1 million people are asso-
ciated with foreign nations which
are against America. and. according
to Hamouche, they are the ones
causing the problems.

Delegation to study
Nicaraguan conflict

By ANDY ELBON
Staff Writer

A delegation of 16 Kentuckians is
going on a mission to Latin Ameri~
ca.

The group is a collection of mem-
bers of Witness for Peace. a Wash-
ington-based organization concerned
with “continuous nonviolent resis-
tance" to US. involvement in Nica»
ragua.The Kentucky delegation
leaves for the Bluefields Region 0n
the Atlantic coast of Nicaragua on
Wednesday.

Witness for Peace maintains a
constant presence in the warAtorn
country with "long-term" dele-
gations of six months. State dele-
gations, such as the Kentucky
group, go to the country for two-
week periods of support.

Joe Bella, a staff member in the
College of Business 8: Economics, is
one of two Lexington residents who
are part of the Kentucky delegation.
He describes the trip as a "fact-find-
ing mission." and he also said these
delegations act as a “human shield"
against aggression.

According to Bella, the group is an
"ecumenical religious effort" that
wants to "establish a presence in
war zones to inhibit US. interven-
tion." The group has no formal affil-
iation with any church.

Betsy Neale. another Lexington
resident traveling to Nicaragua.
said. "They have found . . . that
when North Americans show up. the
(US-backed rebel) Contras don‘t
dareattack."

According to Bella. their destina-
tion is one of the most “exploited"
areas in the country. According to
him the Contras have kidnapped and
forced into military service the men
and boys of the Indian tribes that 0c-
cupy the region.

The trip is funded partially by sev-
eral Lexington organizations. Bella
said, including the Central Kentucky
Fellowship for Reconciliation. the
Lexington Task Force on Latin
America. the Bluegrass Nuclear
Freeze Group and the Central Ken-
tucky Democratic Socialists of
America.

“We see it as a gesture of peace
toward the Nicaraguans." said Dor-
ris Ferm. treasurer and newsletter
editor of the “Fellowship for Recon-
ciliation.“ She described Witness for
Peace as a “Christian witness" to
the Nicaraguan people.

Both Bella and Neale said that al-
though US policy has favored inter-

“ We are not politically
siding with the
Sandinistas. . . . We
are fighting against
violence perpetuated on
the Nicaraguan people
by the Contras. ”

Joe Bella,
delegation member

vention and aid against the current
Sandinista government, Witness for
Peace has met with an enthusiastic
response from the government.

“Congress is looking more and
more skeptically” at US. involve-
ment in Nicaragua. Neale said. She
also said that since the revelation of
the CIA manual on revoluntionary
activities. congressmen are "very
wary" of current U .S. policy.

Bella said Sen. Walter “Dee' Hud~
dleston's staff is ”eager to hear
from us on our return.“ He also said
Huddleston has read from Witness
for Peace testimony concerning
CIA-backed warfare on the House
floor and he is “very interested in
our fact-finding mission . ”

Upon its return to the L'nited
States. the delegation will report
what its members saw through the
press. speaking engagements and fo
rums, Bella said.

“We are not politically siding with
the Sandinistas . . . . We are fighting
against violence perpetuated on the
Nicaraguan people by the Contras,"
Bella said. “I'm going down there
with an open mind. not a neutral
mind . . . . There are some problems
with the present Sandinistan govern-
ment."

“We are not a partisan group."
Neale said. She anticipates speaking
with all groups involved in the con-
flict.

Bella and Neale said they were at-
tracted to the group because it gave
them an opportunity to act.

"The idea of a nonviolent witness

. where there is a war going on
appeals to me." Neale said. She
added that it is “appealing to be
able to go and stand in support" of
the Nicaraguans.

“I felt a sense of impotence,“
Bella said. “I'm extremely upset
that my tax dollars are being spent
on an undeclared war."

the ancient musical question, “Can a bunch of guys

The answer: an emphatic yes.

Yes, the folks who bring us the Spotlight Jazz Series
did it again. The Paquito D‘Rivera Quintet rocked — or
rather jazzed — more than 400 people at Memorial Hall
with a blend of Latin Jazz, American Jazz, ballads and
a few surprises that so well balanced the concert, it
made the Walendas look clumsy. The quintet consists of
l)’Rivera on saxophone and clarinet, Dominican Repub-
lican Michel Camilo on piano, Brazilians Portinho on
drums and Claudio Rodito on trumpet, flugelhorn and
vocals, and Californian Lincoln Goines on bass.

What the band seemed to lack in natural rhythm
among the members was more than compensated for
under the able direction of D’Rivera, whose directing
was well disguised as simple hand gestures.

D'Rivera, who was sporting leather pants, an orange
shirt and a gray checkered jacket, had the same rap-
port with his audience as he did with his band. He was
there to have fun, and he made sure the people who
paid to see him did too.

He opened up the tune “Claudio" with a countoff of
“one, two, you know what to do," and he described the
ballad “Bolero" as “the music of my homeland —
Czechoslovakia." He also made several pitches for his
new album “Why Not," which he said will cost 90 cents
— “plus $9 sales tax in Kentucky."

And D‘Rivera was as casual as he was funny. He
walked around the stage constantly, chatting with mem-
bers of the group and even leaving the stage entirely at
times. Often, he would lean up against an amplifier and
play. and he wrote a new definition of the term casual
when he threw his sax about five feet into the air before
the encore. Luckily, he caught it.

But casual presence and good rapport do not a good
concert make. It also takes good playing.

To say D‘Rivera played well would be gross profes-
sional negligence on the part of this reviewer. Fabulous
might be a better word.

He had an incredible range and a certain natural mu-
sical sense to match it. Simply put, he could make any
noise on the horn he wanted. and probably impressed
himself here and there.

Saxophone players are not well known for their ability
to switch hit on clarinet. In fact. several avoid the clar-
inet wiless absolutely necessary. because the clarinet —
more than other instrumets —— in the wrong hands can
become a weapon. D‘Rivera, however. made the switch
without batting an eye and played in the way his exten-
sive list of credits would lead one to assume he would
play.

During one song, which started as a Latin piece,
D‘Rivera on his clarinet and Camilo slid into a baroque
fugue. This lasted for about two or three minutes before
they went into a rhythm and blues lick that finished the
song.

Camilo, who seemed to be of the “Heart and Soul"
school of piano improvisation, was the only one on the
stage who truly kept up D‘Rivera's pace. His hands
crawled across the keyboards like a couple of ampheta-
mine-crazed tarantulas. I seriously doubt if his left hand
knew what the right was doing because the knowledge
would have exhausted it into uselessness. His right hand
_- the only visible one from my vantage point ~ was
literally a blur through most of the concert.

Goines' bass playing reeked of complex. He seemed
self conscious of the fact that the band lacked a guitar
in the rhythm section, and he compensated with an odd
cross between slapping and picking on his electric bass.
Nothing special. but a nice California touch to the con-
cert.

During what D'Rivera called the band‘s “Dominican,
Brazilian, Czechoslovakian version" of “All the Things
You Are," Goines and D‘Rivera got into a sort of
strange bass-saxophone duet. where they both seemed
to be playing whatever came to mind regardless of
what the other was doing. This must be what they mean
by “progressive," but this old-school bump-on-a-log re-
viewer would call it “impressive."

Portinho, the other half of the rhythm section, played
a couple of solos, which were nothing to write home
about, but he did do a good job keeping up the tempo of
the group.

Rodito appeared to be having some technical prob-
lems with his trumpet, but more than made up for it
with his flugelhorn and vocals, of which the latter was
superior.

He only sang once, during a Brazilian song termed “A
Tear,“ but that was sufficient to demonstrate his abili-
ty. He sang like something you might expect to hear in
the Acapulco Lounge of the Holiday inn Airport, but so
far removed in terms of quality that it was more a par-
ody than a comparison.

In the middle of the tune, he went into an Ella Fitzge-
rald-ish scat. But instead of using ““bees and “boos,"
he used some Portuguese equivalents. The tune then

went back into the slow, forceful mood of its beginning
without batting a lash.

One of the most impressive things about this group
was its transitions. Most of their songs had at least two
moods or changes that were so smooth. they left the au-
dience wondering if they had ever happened. Rodito and
D’Rivera both did somewhat unprecedented a cappella
solos on their respective instruments which, like every-
thing else the band did, fit in perfectly and sounded
beautiful.

The net effect of the concert was that it left at least
one member of the more than 400 audience members
feeling glad he had come and a little sorry for the other
23,000 or so UK students who missed it.

The concert was jointly sponsored by the Student Ac-
tivities Board and the Office of Minority Student Affairs
whose next presentation will be the Dec. 1 appearance
