UK ofﬁcials hope by the end
of the week to introduce a new
multi-purpose student identiﬁca-
tion card that combines the fea-
tures of several current cards.

Ofﬁcials currently are testing
the equipment used to produce
the cards and soon hope to estab-
lish a schedule for making them,
said John Herbst, director of Stu-
dent Activities.

To stay on schedule, Herbst
saidUKneedstomakeanew ID
card for every student by the end
of the semester.

A number of student services,
like UK's library system, food
services, the computing center
and athletics have formed a coa-
lition with Student Activities to
bring the new ID card to campus.

The card initially will include
a bar code enabling students to
check out library materials. as
well as a magnetic strip for meal
card and plus account balances,
and residence hall key-card ac-
cess.

By August, students will be
able to use the card for photo
copy services and tickets for
campus activities and athletic
events.

One of the prime features of
the card is that it will take the

Rhonda Strouse, assistant di-

the new ID card will provide UK
with many beneﬁts.

“(UK) is the ﬁrst University to
bring about this card,“ she said.
“We are on the front end of tech-

The card still is being tested,

PERRY IIO‘I'HEIUKernel Staff

SGA presidential candidate
T.A. Jones discusses his plat-
form atop a table in the Stu-
dent Center yesterday.

By Perry Brothers
Staff Writer

Student body presidential candi-
date T.A. Jones stood up for his be-
liefs yesterday — literally.

In what he called a “table-top an-
nouncement,“ Jones and his vice-
presidential running mate, Benny
Ray Bailey, mounted chairs and in-
troduced their platform, “The New
Spirit," to the lunch-time crowd of
UK’s Student Center Cafeteria.

“This is the best way to get our
message out, by coming to the stu-
dents," said Jones, a ﬁfth year ar-
chitecture student.

Prior to the impromptu an-
nouncement, Jones and Bailey, 3
health administration sophomore.
moved from table to table. distrib-
uting copies of the ticket’s Student
Government Association platform
and encouraging students to “be
aware that there is someone who, if

elected, will stand up for student
rights.“

Representation is a top priority,
according to the printed platform.
Jones and Bailey want to boost the
number of student representatives
on the UK Board of Trustees.

“Right now, out of 20 members,
there is only one student, and we
need more representation than
that," Jones said. “I want to in-
crease our power by creating two
more student positions, and Hi take
this issue to the board every meet-
ing.“

“The student body pays to have
representation," Bailey said. “The
constitution says, ‘No taxation
without representation,’ but we
(students) have our taxes increased
on us each year in the form of tui-
tion, and we are not represented.

“If you want somebody who will
yell and raise hell to get heard, we
are the people for the job. Just ask
anybody here in the Student Center

By Stephen D. Trlmble

Bill Clinton, George Bush and
Ross Perot agreed publicly on one
thing in the 1992 presidential elec-
tion: “Truman," a biography written
by David McCullough, deﬁnes the
person they idolized as US. presi-
dent.

Even UK football coach Bill Cur-
ry used the book, a 1,000 page ac-
count of the life of Harry S. Tru-
man, as an inspiration tool to show
his players they didn't have to be
“born with a silver spoon in their
mouth to achieve great things."

McCullough spent 10 years com-
piling the best-selling book about
Tnunan. whom he called the great-
est president of the 20th century
during a lecture last night at the
Otis A. Singletary Center for the
Arts.

The duo plans to “retrace the histo-
ry of the SGA and see where things
went wrong," Jones said, adding:
“The last time we had a real stu-
dent government was in the ‘60s.
We want to bring the SGA back to
the students."

During the next four weeks,
Jones intends to “reach out to stu-
dents" with events like free local-
band concerts, a series of campus
forums and a “Free-POT. (Patter-
son Office Tower)“ protest rally.
He said the rally will emphasize
“the right to free speech all over
campus, not just in that little area
by the Student Center."

Other issues mentioned in the
platform include increased lobby-
ing in Frankfort, more work-study
opportunities and extra student
seating at UK basketball games.

Congregation
of Ala. church
mourns losses

By Dan Sewell
Associated Press

PIEDMONT, Ala -—— After los-
ing her 4-year-old daughter and
much of her growing young congre-
gation in the Palm Sunday tornado
that devastated her church, the Rev.
Kelly Clem isn’t yet ready to an-
swer the question: “Why?"

“I was just walking around minis-
tering and praying with people after
it happened, and people were lying
on the ground and asking: ‘Why
Kelly, tell me why?‘

“We do not know why," she said
she told them. “I don't think ‘why‘
is the question right now. We just
have to help each other through it."

Yesterday, the 34-year-old pastor
was struggling between her dual
roles as grieving mother and the
spiritual leader of a congregation
shocked by death during the week
that celebrates the resurrection of
Jesus.

Her daughter Hannah was with
other children waiting to sing in a
musical drama telling the cruciﬁx-
ion story when the tornado struck,
one of a series that pounded the
Southeast on Sunday.

One minute, the song “Jehovah
Jireh" — Hebrew for “the Lord will
provide" —— ﬁlled the air of the
church, a witness said. The next
minute, debris was ﬂying.

The tornado collapsed the Gosh-
en United Methodist Church roof
and the walls of the one-story red-
brick church crumpled, burying
dozens in the congregation of 140.
At least 20 people died at the
church, including six children, and
some 90 worshipers were injured.

The Clems‘ other child, 2-year-
old Sarah, was in the church nur-
sery that escaped the brunt of the
tornado. She had minor injuries.

Clem, who suffered head and
shoulder injuries and a badly swol-
len left eye, walked with her hus-
band around the wrecked church
and parsonage.

“I‘m picking up on this pain and
suffering and death," she said, grip-
ping a pink stuffed cat Hannah got
for Christmas. “But all I'm feeling
right now is my baby."

Clem and her 34-year-old hus-
band, the Rev. Dale Clem, are well-
known among Methodist clergy in
Alabama, and ministers came from

around the state to help them and
the tornado victims.

A dozen ministers were at the air-
port Sunday night to meet Clem,
who rushed back from a youth min-
istry in Oklahoma after receiving
the grim news.

“She‘s a very strong person and
she's a person of great faith," Clem
said. “We just hugged each other
and cried together and said we
loved each other."

Members of her congregation
mourned their losses and talked of
keeping their faith.

Doug and Rhonda Scott were
both badly injured, but thankful
their 2-year-old son, Jake, was un-
harmed.

Scott said they were watching the
Easter presentation when they no—
ticed the wind had picked up.

When he heard glass breaking,
Scott jumped into the aisle and be-
gan crawling to the nursery to ﬁnd
his son. A cement beam crashed
down, dislocating his hips. His wife
suffered pelvic fractures when de-
bris fell on her. The couple shared a
hospital room Monday. unable to
get out of bed.

“I was in terrible pain and I was
hollering for my son," he said.
“Somebody brought him to me. He
was crying. but he was OK."

Clem reﬂected on the brief time
she had with Hannah and searched
for some comfort.

“Some people told me that you

‘must almost wish you never had a

child," Clem said. “It hurts, but I’ll
never regret these four wonderful
years with that child. We had some
wonderful last days. I had her pic-
ture made and we made a video of
her Easter parade.

“She had talked about death. She
said she drinks heaven is like Dis-
ney World and I told her that was
right. That child understood a lot.
That gives me a lot of peace right
now."

Clem said his daughter taught
him a lot about love and life, and
her death was a lesson, too.

Asked what he will learn, he re-
plied slowly: “You'll have to ask
me that again in a month.“

Funeral services will be tomor-
row at the First United Methodist
Church of Anniston, where Clem
had been associate pastor until tak-
ing the Goshen ministry four years
ago.

Dowdy visiting
2-year colleges
throughout Ky.

By Stephen D. Trimble
Assistant News Editor

Lance Dowdy is spending his
weekends travelling Kentucky’s
community college circuit, ful-
ﬁlling an old campaign promise.

The UK Student Government
Association president and Rich-
ard Snedegar, his community
college outreach program direc-
tor. visited UK-operated colleges
in Hazard and Cumberland on
Friday and Saturday. The two
also met with student govern-
ment ofﬁcers and faculty.

Dowdy described the trip as a
success that enabled him to learn
the needs of students at the two-
year schools.

“Once you start getting (corn-
munity college SGA ofﬁcials)
talking together, they all start re-
alizing their problems are the
same." he said.

SGA ofﬁcials at the two col-
leges frequently asked about day
cue ltd dining services, which

do not exist on either of the cam-
puses, Dowdy said.

The idea to visit the campuses
originated in Dowdy‘s SGA
election platform last year. He
and mnning mate Amber Leigh
thought it would be easier to stay
in touch with the needs of Ken-
tucky's community colleges.
which UK's SGA is institution-
ally charged to address.

Dowdy and Snedegar, who
were given tours of each cam-
pus, said it was obvious that
each college‘s student govern-
ment expresses visible pride in
its crunpus.

they're a step-child of UK,"

Zulu opposition march turns into riot

Fighting leaves31 dead '

By Tom Cohen
Associated Press

JOHANNESBURG, South Afri-
ca — Black factional ﬁghting
spread to the heart of South Afri-
ca's main city for the ﬁrst time
yesterday when a march by Zulu
nationalists set off gunbattles, stab-
bings and beatings that killed at
least3l people.

Gunﬁre echoed off skyscrapers
and shattered windows around a

park near city hall where thou-
sands of Zulus carrying spears ral-
lied to protest the all-race election

guards ﬁred on more Zulus outside
ofﬁces of the rival African Nation-
al Congress.

Leaders of the ANC and the
Zulu-dominated lnkatha Freedom
Party accused each other of start-
ing the violence.

People sprawled in the din and
under cars, cowcred behind pillars

and trampled each other trying to
escape the shooting. Blood stained
streets and sidewalks in at least
three areas. Hospitals reponed
more than 200 wounded.

Late yesterday, leaders of the
main political parties were trying
to arrange a summit between Presi-
dent F.W. de Klerk, ANC leader
Nelson Mandela, Zulu King Good-
will chlithini and lnkatha leader
Mangosuthu Buthelezi. They were
expected to meet later this week to
confront the worsening crisis over
Zulu demands for autonomy after
the April 26-28 election.

JOHANNESBURG, South
Africa — Bodies sprawl in the
streets of the nation's largest
metropolis. Terriﬁed office
workers cower behind desks. A
traumatized city shudders.

The deadly events that erupted
dtrring and after a Zulu march
through downtown Johannes
burg yesterday bring South Afri-
ca’s political leaders face to face
with their most daunting ques-
tion: What is to be done about
theZulus?

The largest single tribe in
South Africa, numbering some 7
million out of the country’s total
population of 40 million, the Zu-
lus are armed and angry.

The most nationalistic and
militant of them bitterly oppose
next month’s ﬁrst fully demo-
cratic elections and the inevita-
bility of a future government led
by Nelson Mandela’s African
National Congress. The election
will erase South Africa’s distinct
ethnic homelands and, the Zulus
believe, crush their proud heri-

tage.

Fanning these fears has been
Zulu nationalist leader Mangosu-
thu Buthelezi, in what critics see
as a cynical bid to cling to the
power and privileges he enjoyed as
a black homeland leader cooperat-
ing with the white government un-
der apartheid.

With the start of black-majority
rule just weeks away, South Afri-
cans are increasingly anxious that
the ANC and the government of
President F.W. de Klerk quickly
placate or neutralize the Zulus, for
fear that yesterday’s bloodletting
will prove to be only a dress re-
hearsal for election day.

Eight thousand strong, Zulus
poured out of their workers' hos-
tels Monday morning to march the
10 miles into Johannesburg, osten-
sibly to show loyalty to their men-
arch, King Goodwill Zwelithini,
who is Buthelezi’s nephew.

Downtown, among people try‘
ing to go about their daily routine,
the marchers presented a fearsome
vision of an invading war party:
Carrying goatskin shields painted
in tribal emblems, some wearing
head gear fashioned of leopard
pelts, they waved spears. ma-

chetes, clubs and guns.

For South African whites
nervous about the switch to
black rule. it was their worst
nightmare come true —-— high-
ways blocked and the streets
ruled by packs of marauders
with spears and axes.

Scores of panicked residents
called radio stations vowing to
leave, before the post-election
rapine begins.

The bloodshed came just two
days after a meeting between
de Klerk and Buthelezi, in
which Buthelezi reiterated
vague promises to allow free
electioneen‘ng in the Zulu
homeland of KwaZulu.

De Klerk responded to the
carnage by urging yet another
meeting, this time with Mande-
la and Zwelithini joining him
and Buthelezi.

It is in the interest of de
Klerk’s National Party govem-
ment to keep lnkatha function-
ing, as a counterweight to the
ANC and a possible future ally.
De Klerk has argued that using
force against lnkatha would
cause more problems than it
would solve.

vote easily, which the Zulus say
will lead to the demise of the Zulu
culture under ANC domination.
The ANC rejects Zulu demands for
a separate homeland, saying the
country’s racial and ethnic groups
must learn to live together after
generations of segregation under
apartheid.

Political violence has soared,
particularly in Natal Pr0vince,
which includes the Zulu homeland
of KwaZulu.

ANC leaders are demanding that
troops of the white-minority gov-
emment take over KwaZulu to en-
sure the election can proceed. Sol-
diers recently seized control in two
other black homelands.

Yesterday's march was intended
as a show of force by Zulu nation-
alists, whose ethnic group is the
largest in South Africa, and many
stores did not open for fear of vio-
lence.

Reports of clashes linked to the
march and to a Zulu strike call be-
gan ﬁltering in at dawn from near-
by bIack townships where factional
fighting has gone unchecked for
years. Zulus trying to stop people
from going to work fired along the
streets of the Soweto and Kagiso
townships, police said.

A few hours later, as the ﬁrst
spear-wielding Zulu protesters en-
tered downtown, clashes erupted
with ANC guards outside the
ANC‘s regional ofﬁce. More
shooting broke out as groups of

marchers poured in from different
directions.

Snipers in building windows
and on rooftops ﬁred at marchers,
some of whom returned ﬁre with
automatic rifles.

The worst incident occurred out-
side the ANC's national headquar-
ters, known as Shell House, a sky-
scraper in one of the most
congested areas of downtown. As
the marchers approached from the
side and back of the building,
ANC security guards opened ﬁre.

The Zulus scattered, leaving
spears, shields, machetes and
shoes lying in blood. In anger.
some attacked pedestrians with
spears and clubs.

ANC officials said at a news
conference the Zulus were trying
to storm the building. Witnesses
reported nine people killed in the
incident.

At a square outside the central
library, gunﬁre erupted periodical-
ly while about 8,000 marchers
gathered for the anti-election rally.
Then a steady burst —— some shots
from ground level and some from
high-rises surrounding the park ——
sent people diving in the dirt and
trampling one another to seek cov-
er.

One Zulu supporter ﬁred an
AK-47 assault rifle, then was shot
down by police in a nearby vehi-
cle. Police took aim at high win-
dows in surrounding office build-
ings where snipers were believed

to be hiding.
As in most incidents of political

violence, allegations of blame
flew fast.

The ANC‘s national chairman.
Thabo Mbeki, said a state of
emergency giving police and sol—
diers wider powers should be con-
sidered. He said ANC ofﬁcials
warned police Sunday that lnkatha
intended to launch attacks during
the march.

“it is difﬁcult to understand.
with all the warning we gave
them, why nothing was done. It
suggests a little bit more than in
competence," Mbeki said.

The ANC has long accused
some elements in the government
of fomenting factional violence in

an attempt to weaken black
groups.
lnkatha spokesman Themba

Khoza said his group warned po-
lice Sunday that the ANC would
start violence at the march. He
also accused police of failing to
take proper steps and hinted at
collusion with the ANC. “It was
well-planned, well—calculated by
the ANC," he said.

De Klerk and Law and Order
Minister Hemus Kriel accused
march organizers of losing control
of their supporters. Kn'el said he
would declare “unrest areas” in
the Johannesburg region, giving
police wide powers to control po-
litical gatherings and quell unrest.

King testiﬁes in suit
tied to police beating

LOS ANGELES —- A soft-
spoken Rodney King got down on
a courtroom ﬂoor yesterday, re-
enacted portions of his 1991 beat-
ing by police and told jurors: “I
felt like I had been raped.”

As batons smashed into his
head, “l felt like I had lost half of
my face. I could hear my bones
crunching every time the baton hit
me,” he testified. “It sounded like
throwing an egg and hearing the
shell crack."

When officers hogtied and
dragged him to the side of the
road, “I felt like a cow that was

“I was just so scared. I felt like I
was going to die.”

King was testifying in his $9.5
million lawsuit against the city of
Los Angeles for damages stem-
ming from his March 3, 1991,
beating by four Los Angeles police
officers.

King, who is black, was beaten
by the white officers after a trafﬁc
stop. The beating was videotaped
by a bystander and broadcast wide-
ly, prompting an investigation of
police brutality around the nation.

The officers were acqurttcd of
nearly all assault charges in a 1992
state trial, whose verdicts sparked
three days of rioting. Two of the
officers were convicted last year in
federal court of violating King‘s

The city has admitted liability,
but jurors are being asked to set a
damage ﬁgure. ln 3 second phase,
they will try to allocate blame to
individual defendants, including
former Police Chief Daryl Gates
and the four officers, for punitive
damages.

King, who rejected the city’s
$1.25 million settlement offer, was
asked whether he felt the beating
was unusual.

“I had a feeling that this hap-
pens all the time,” he said. “I just
happened to run into the wrong
pack of dogs, police ofﬁcers.”

Asked to recount what hap-
pened, King, 28, recalled an eve-
ning that began in celebration of
his winning back his job with a
construction company.

“I was very proud of myself for
having got back with my compa-
ny,” said King, who had served
time in prison for robbery. He ad-
mitted drinking too much beer and
champagne that night and said he
tried to elude a police traffic stop
because he feared going back to
prison.

Doctors in the current trial have
testified that King suffered injuries
that could have killed him; one
neurologist said he was surprised
King survived.

King said his wounds were psy-
chological as well as physical.

“I felt that I had been stripped of
my decency and my will as a hu-
man being," he said.

In his only allusion to the politi-
cal impact of the case, he said:
“The ofﬁcers, the words, the racial
slurs they were using that night, I
thought I was somewhere else, not

the former president from Indepen-
dence, Mo.. because he was a
“great American story."

Truman rose from a less-than-
inﬂuential background to possess
the most power, economically and
militarily, of any person in history
to that point.

“When put to the test. he rises to
the occasion and does it big,"
McCullough said of Truman.

And Truman was tested often: the
atomic bomb, the Berlin airlift, a
tough 1948 presidential campaign
that he narrowly won and, most not-
ably, the insubordination of Gen.
George MacArthur, whom Truman
ordered home from the Korean bat-
tlefields in 1952.

“You knew where he stood,"
McCullough said of Truman's pop-
ular appeal among politicians to-
day.

Truman also wasn‘t afraid to take
a stand. As a champion of civil
rights, he desegregated the US
military in 1947. McCullough said
advisers close to the president
warned it w0uld cost the presiden-
tial election the following year.

Truman said of his unpopular civ-
il rights position: “ ‘If I lose, I will
have lost for a just cause,‘ " McCul-
lough said. “He knew the impor-
tance of courage as a leader."
