L6 lambda claims meeting disrupted

[6 .

 

 

By Chris Padgett
News Editor

A disruption during a UK Lambda meeting has
resulted in the filing of a criminal complaint with
UK Police and a report to the Dean of Students
Office.

Members of UK Lambda said a group of Delta
Sigma Phi pledges disrupted their meeting in 231
Student Center.

The report, filed with Associate Dean Victor
Hazard, by Matt Solber , president of UK Lambda,
contends a grou of stu ents interrupted the weekly
meeting of the K group for lesbian, gay and bisexu—
al students.

The Oct. 3 meeting was lanned as a forum for
individuals with HIV and AI S to share the plight of
their disease.

UK Lambda Vice President Karin West said a
group of about 10 students interrupted the meeting

y making “loud noise and commotion” outside the
door of the meeting.

West said in the written statement that after an
extended period of time, Solberg and another UK

Lambda member, John Davis, walked outside the
room and discovered the source of the interruption.

Davis and Solberg confronted a roup of men
who produced a sheet ofpaper. The ocument con—
tained a statement instructing the men to attend the
meeting in Room 231, take notes for 10 minutes and
then to leave, Solberg said.

“The roup was not there to learn about the
plight oft ose infected with HIV or AIDS,” he said.

West said she tried to keep the meetin oing but
was unable to because of the group's rowtfiliehavior.

The incident escalated and an assault occurred,
Solberg said. One of the men called Davis a “fucking
pansy,” Solberg added.

When Davis told the student he was not going to
take “any shit from him,” the student pushed Davis,
Solberg said.

“I turned around at one point and John was
almost pushed to the ground,” he said. “If there
hadn’t been people behind him, he would have fell
on his ass.”

Masten Childers, freshman senator and SGA Les-
bigay Concerns Committee member, said he recog-
nized one of the men and told him, “I know you are

from a fraternity.”

“I told him I had just lost a lot of respect for him,"
Childers said.

Childers said he and Solber went to the Dean of
Students office the next day w ere they learned the
students involved in the disruption were members of
Delta Sigma Phi social fraternity.

“It was pathetic. It was the worst possible scenario
I have ever been involved with that had to do with
hazing,” he said.

Davis filed a report the night of the incident with
UK Police. Hazard said the Dean of Students Office
is “currently looking into it.”

Thomas Harper, president of Delta Sigma Phi,
declined to comment on the matter.

West said she thinks the act was a fomi ofhazing.

“Obviously this was a hazing incident," West said.

West said she and her fellow officers were cur—
rently doin damage control to remedy concerns
brought to fight by individuals attending the meet—
in .

“This incident scared a lot ofpeople,” West said.

Shirts promote
healing process

By Jenniter E. Smith
Staff Writer

Several different colored T-shirts representing
abused and assaulted women hung from a clothesline
in the Free Speech Area in front of the Student Cen-
ter yesterday.

Each shirt provided a vehicle of emotional healing
for the victim.

The shirts were color-coded to specify the type of
violence each woman was a victim of. Some T—shirt
colors appeared more than others: white, red,
orange, pink, yellow and blue shirts were among the
more prevalent colors adorning the clothesline.

White shirts represented women who died as a
result of violence committed against them, while
pink, oran e and red shirts were for women who
were ra e or sexuall assaulted. Yellow, tan or
brown s irts stood for gattered women, and blue or
green shirts represented survivors of incest or other
childhood sexual abuse.

The messages written on the shirts told vivid sto-
ries of the hardships experienced by female victims
of violence. Inscriptions on shirts included words of
inspiration, like “There is hope,” and confessions of
abuse, such as “Abused by grandfather, father, broth-
ers, neighborhood boys, adult baby sitter and hus-
band.”

The shirts told tales of pain and suffering, repre-
senting voices of women who demand to be heard.
One shirt simply read, “Listen now to women.”

The Clothesline Project is displayed nationwide
at various locations.

The exhibit was sponsored by the Student Gov-
ernment Association and Women’s Forum, which
focuses on issues affecting women on campus.

Christy Weis, director of health issues for the
SGA, said the issues the project addresses are rele-
vant to all students on campus.

“It isn’t something that happens (only) to low-
income or uneducated people. It crosses all bound-
aries,” Weis said.

Obviously, displaying the shirts not only provides
a means of emotional healing and support, but it also
brings attention to the issue of violence against
women.

McCalla case
to grand jury

By Kathy Redlnp

A man charged with attempt-
ed rape and second-dc ree bur-
glary in connection wit an inci—
dent at the Sigma Kappa social
sorority house early in the mom-
ing of Oct. 5 had a preliminary
hearing in Fayette District

Judge DavidIHayse forwarded

STAIE Mailboxes under
tire in Western Ky.

PADUCAH -— State transportation officials
have checked state right of ways, citing residents
whose mailboxes are considered hazardous. The
action has drawn the ire of some who want to
know what officials plan to do to protect their
boxes from vandalism.

“Mailboxes are being destroyed left and right,”
said one Paducah resident who was cited. “Can
they guarantee that no one will knock it down?”

Boxes must be connected to a “breakaway”
pole, instead of beams, solid concrete, brick or
other types of structures used by sotne homeown~
ers to protect the boxes from vandals.

Highway officials contend safety is one ele—
ment not open for compromise.

“The regulations prohibit permanent struc-
tures from being laced alon a right of way,” said‘
John Agee, brancli manager For traffic at the Ken—
tucky Department of Highways in Paducah. “It
serves to protect the motoring public against safe-

ty hazards."

BI‘ZA'lVl‘YVlLLI“. —— Woody will have to wait

Actor Woody llarrelson’s trial on charges of
planting four industrial hemp seeds was scheduled
for Oct. 25 in Lee District Court. But officials
later realized that was the same day the annual
Woolly \IVorm Festival begins.

Harrelson, who is charged with possession of
marijuana, planted the seeds in Lee County in
June to draw attention to the campaign to legalize
industrial hemp. He wants to be convicted so he
can challenge the laws that make no distinction
between the hemp he planted and its psychoactive
cousin, marijuana.

Harrelson was careful to lant only enough
seeds to draw a misdemeanor c arge, not a felony.
As it is, Harrelson could get up to a year in jail and
a $500 fine.

Alleged 1995
rape reported

By Kathy Reding

Assistant News Editor

A reliminary hearing was held in Fayette Dis—
trict Court yesterday for a man charged with first—
degree rape in an alleged incident in Kirwan
Tower last December.

Roger Matthews, 21, was taken into custody
Oct. 4 in his home town of Covington, Ky., after a
complaint was filed Oct. 2 by a former Kirwan
Tower resident, an undeclared freshman at Lex-
ington Community College.

In the hearing, the victim said she encountered
Matthews at her workplace, the Cincinnati—
Northern Kentucky Airport. She said Matthews
approached her at work, ave her his phone num-
ber and asked her to call him because they needed
to talk.

The alleged victim stated Matthews, an
acquaintance, knocked on her residence hall door
around 1:30 a.m. on Dec. 9; she was alone. She
said the telephone rang when she answered the
door, and he came in.

She talked‘for about a minute on the hone.
When she finished, she said she was tabbed b
the alle ed perpetrator, thrown on the d, struc
across the face twice and raped.

She testified she did not file a com laint at the
time because Matthews said he wou d kill her if
she did. Yet when she found out they both worked
in the same place, she was afraid an incident could
ha n again.

ayette County Attorney Margaret Kenneson
said in the hearing that a sexual transmitted dis-
ease has been confirmed in the victim by Dr.
Spencer Turner, director of UK Student Health,
but a test for the disease has not yet been done on
Matthews.

The victim testified she drop d out of school
after the I996 spring semester. he also testified
she saw Matthews on one other occasion last

llll finally breaks losing streak to XII

By Rob Herbst

Assistant Sports Editor

CINCINNATI — Last night it
was deja vu for the UK women’s
soccer team.

In virtually every game this sea-
son, the Cats have dominated
their opponents and produced
numerous opportunities to light
up the scoreboard, but ended up
squeaking by(with a victory.

Against avier last night, the
Cats controlled the game with 12
shots compared to the Muske-
teers’ five attempts. And just like
the other matches, the Cats
escaped in a tight one, leaving the
Queen City with a l—O victory.

An assist by sophomore Carrie
Staber led to Alison Rooney’s goal
at 46:58 and gave UK the win.
Rooney’s shot deflected offa Mus—
keteer’s hip and trickled ast XU
goalkeeper Ann Marie Hubbard.

UK won its third straight and

sixth in its last seven games. The
Cats im roved to 9—2-2, while
Xavier fell to 9-4-1.

Though UK didn’t put on an
offensive explosion, coach Warren
Lipka wasn’t disappointed.

“You can’t be totally unhappy
with the way we played today,”
Lipka said. “We played a great,
great team match. I’d be very
upset if we weren’t creating those
c ances, but we’re gonna get them
in there. I know it’s gonna hap—
pen.”

Rooney, who scored her third
goal of the season, agreed that the
time will come when the Cats will
becotne an offensive machine.

“The law of avera res says that
when you keep poundin ’em and
pounding ’em, eventual y they’re
gonna go in,” Rooney said.

\Vhile UK dominated most of
the game, the Musketeers had
opportunities to score. Their best
e ance came in the 25th tninute of

the game when XU’s Amanda
Gruber had a one-on-one with
UK goalkeeper Carrie Kuhnell.

But Kuhnell showed why she
has a goals a ainst average of 0.81
as she stone Gruber.

UK also had several solid
chances to score. Its two best
opportunities came when Staber
hit a header off the crossbar in the
19th minute and when Kim
LaBelle and Amanda Varner both
had shots in the box during the
66th minute.

LaBelle’s shot was stuffed and
Varner’s sailed high over the
crossbar.

“If those didn’t worry me, I’d
be stupid,” Lipka said. “You could
be up three or four (goals), but
instead they get that one chance to
(tie). But we have confidence in
our defense.”

Lipka should have confidence
in his defense. In its last six games,
the UK defense has managed four

shutouts.

XU had dominated UK in the
past, winning three of the four
matches between the foes. UK’s
lone win came in 1994, and last
year UK lost to the Musketeers 2-
l in Lexington.

That ,and the fact that UK has
seven players from the Cincinnati
area, makes this win special.

“I alwa 5 love coming back up
here," sai Staber, who hails from
the Cincinnati suburb of West
Chester, Ohio. “We know all the
pee le we are laying against and
we ave all t e hometown fans
come up and watch.”

For the Musketeers, there was
extra ain when Staber’s assist
hel e in the win. XU recruited
Staber, but she didn’t want any-
thin to do with the Musketeers.

“They recruited me, but I knew
I wasn’t coming here,” Staber said.
“I wanted to get away from home,
and UK’s a better school.”

It’s common practice for coaches to run off
the same spiel of “Throw out the records;
they’re a better team than their record shows.”

That old standby might actually have some
merit, however, when used for the UK men’s
soccer team.

While the team’s record is a
disappointing 5-5—2, including
a paltry 2-4-2 in its last eight
games, the Cats have actually
played only one or two poor
games.

Aside from a tie with
Louisville, the only bad exam-

le has been last VVednesday’s
oss to Xavier. The \Nildcats
were shut out 1—0 at the Cage.

“I just have no clue as to
what happened. I don’t think
anybody does,” UK Coach Ian
Collins said.

The team has not been
blown out this year, with the
worst loss coming in the form
of a 5-0 game at Bowling
Green. _

There’s certainly no shame
in that, considering that BC is the defending
MAC champion.

This past Saturday, the Cats traveled to
Akron to take on the Zips. Trailing 2-l with
less than 10 minutes remaining, Akron man-
aged to score, sending the game to overtime.
Akron also managed to score first in the extra
period, forcing UK to change its game plan.

The Wildcats pushed everybody up so as to

open up the offense, in turn leaving the defense
vulnerable to Zip counterattacks. Akron scored
again, ending the game at 4-2.

“We played strong, we put ourselves in a
position to win, but we couldn’t hang on,”
Collins said.

The team hopes to reverse this trend against
Miami (Ohio) today at 4 pm. at the Cage.

“I always enjoy playing Miami, it’s always a
fun game,” Collins said. “They come to play
soccer. They don’t come out and kick you, and
they don’t pack in defensively.”

The Redskins are a team that could rival
UK in terms of inexperience. Miami starts
seven freshmen; UK took 10 fresh to the
Akron game.

The Skins are also a tough team, despite the
1-8—3 record.

They have tied both Cincinnati and Wright
State this year, and last year they defeated
national champion Wisconsin.

“If we stop making stupid mistakes and we
play at the level ofintensity and heart that we
did on Saturday, we’ll be fine,” Collins said.

Senior defenderjeff Brown, who was named
as a 1995 academic all—MAC member, leads
Akron. Brown is tied for the team lead with
three goals and has a total of seven points.

Miami Coach Bobby Kramig has earned
MAC Coach of the Year three times, including
1993 and l994, and is 3-1 against Kentucky.
UK‘s first victory over the Redskins came last
year when UK won 4-3 in Oxford.

But (Iollins is more concerned with his own
team than he is with the opponent.

“This is a team game, and everybody’s got
to grow up, quickly,” he said.

“You’ve got to mature, and you’ve got to
learn that to be a player at a high level, you’ve

got to grow up. We’re starting to do that but
we’ve still got some guys who are trying to use
their youth as an excuse.”

The Cats will be playing without sopho-
more midfielder Sean Mondelli, who reinjured
his leg.

After missing three weeks of action with a
torn quadricep earlier in the season, Mondelli
returned to play against Ohio State on Oct. 2.
He did more damage to his leg and is now side-
lined indefinitely.

Astra-Man returns
to Lexington tonight

Earth?
Coco the Electronic Monkey
Wizard: That’s one of those

By Robert Dul‘ly
Arts Editor

Man or Astro-Man is not from
Earth, but don’t hold that against
it. In fact, the band is not from our
dimension.

What they are, however, is one
of the best live bands that has vis-
ited the Lexin ton area in quite
some time. ith its version of
“science fiction surf music,” Man
or Astro-Man gives a show that is
not easily for otten.

I first spoEe to Birdstuff for an
extensive period oftime and then
had a chance to speak with Coco

embarrassing things for me. Any-
way, you know how it is when
you’re travelling great distances
and you kinda gotta ‘go,’ but
there’s nowhere to go, ifyou know
what I’m saying. You kind of ot
to hit that space truck stop but
there’s not an exit.

So I’m looking around and
looking around , seeing what I can
do about this, and I think you guys
know what has to be done at this
point. We kind of had to do the
equivalent of the ‘Space Wee Wee

A there was the big announcement

 

 

 

in the Bottle’ trick. But that’s all
fine and dandy if you’re not the
one manning the helm, but when
you’re doing that it throws a
whole other set of variables in
there that can cause problems.
The next thing you know, gravity
takes hold of Coco and his joystick
and we’re plummeting towards

the Electronic Monkey Wizard.
But through the magic of editing,
it will appear that I spoke to both
of them at the same time.

Robert: Were you shocked when

about possible life in Mars?
Birdstuff: Not really. I mean,

that’s just a small evolutionary planet Earth

climb in what we have become. In R: How would someone from your
fact, we’re hoping we finally get childhood describe you?

the recognition we deserve. C: I was luc enough to avoid

the whole aw ard childhood
thing because I was built in transit.
That’s a fancy, fancy feature of the
Coco. I was built out of old Atari
2600 parts so it was kind of instan-
taneous maturity

R: How did you boo/e up with
Atari 2600 pieces in space?

C: Man, those things are all
over the place. You think that you
got them just here on Earth, but
no sir. It’s one of the few things
that’s got a huge intergalactic dis—
tributor.

R: How would you explain your
music to someone who has never heard
it before?

B: Well you know, that would
actually be describing it to our—
selves, Rob, because we’ve never .

Whenever the (NASA) robot unit
does actuall land on Mars in a
few years rom now, they will
actually find the great face, the
great monument that they did
make to none other than Coco the
Electronic Monkey Wizard.

I don’t know if you should print
that. Maybe we should let the
Earth eople discover that for
themse ves.

R: Speaking of recognition, did you
feel a bit left out when ‘Independence
Day’ got all that attention?

B: Yeah, it was kind of tou h
digesting taking a back seat to the
Fresh Prince of Bel Air We
were a little put off by that.

R: What happened to the ship
that led to you crash landing on

Area 51. Last time the band played, the show sold out.

heard our music. Space is a vacu-
um, as we often tell people, and in
space no one can hear you suck.
Because of this, we’ve actually
never heard the sonic waves of
Man or Astro-Man. Needless to
say, we find it funny when people
compliment us.

R: So then why did you start play-
ing music in the first place?

B: Rob, not to be Capt. Obvi—
ous here, but to find the parts to
our ship there were a couple of
things we could do. We could be
politicians, we could be travelling
salesman, something that we were
on the move always. And what
better format for that to take place
in than your conventional rock—
type band? So we formed a kind of
Menudo-ish coalition and started
touring for the last three years on
the planet Earth.

R: Since you can ’t explain your
music, can you tell me how things
have changed since your first album?

B: As Coco would have to tell
you, we just moved up the spec—
trum, you know. We were doing
kind of the surf-ways, originally,
and now we’ve moved up to
gamma.

R: Coco, you also manage your own

Duality is inherent in our little
patch of universe and thus along
with the beautiful
inevitably comes the repul-
sive, but the good thin
about it is that along with
the repulsive comes some-
body who appreciates it.

that displeases our aesthet-

does not only constitute the fine
art that has recently been
lambasted in this fine
upstanding publication, but
it is all encompassing.

My point is that a funda-
mental aspect of our existence is
the creativity inherent in our
nature. Most of us don’t con-
sciously create, but we do anyway
because it is an inevitability. And
creation isn’t necessarily artistic,
but it is creative and therefore
leads to growth, expansion and
