Reserves, UK military face bottom line

By TONJA WILT
Executive Editor

Here today, gone tomorrow.

The sentiment has more meaning
to many at UK since President
Bush called Kentucky National
Guard and Reserve units to aid
troops sewing in Saudi Arabia.

"The bottom line is anyone that
is in the reserves, ofﬁcer. or enlist-
ed, if the President calls up the re-
serves, then they will go," said
Lieutenant Colonel Gerald Lemons.

Like others in the Guard and re-
serves, Lemons could be called at
any time, since he is an active duty
officer.

“I serve at the pleasure of the
President of the United States.
That’s in my oath of office,” Lem-
ons said. “I could leave tomorrow.

We are humanistic. That normally
doesn't happen, but that’s part of
the commitment of serving your
country.”

Since it is uncertain how many
other faculty and staff members
could be affected by the orders, in-
terim President Charles Wething-
ton requested a survey to be con-
ducted to determine how many
others at UK could be called to ac-
tive duty.

T. Lynn Williamson, who is
conducting the survey, expects the
results today.

The Albert B. Chandler Medical
Center probably will show the
highest number of employees in
the reserves or Guard, administra-
tors predict

By MYRNA MARCA
Staff Writer

Employees and their families to-
night will celebrate the 30th Anni—
versary of the UK Albert B. Chan-
dlcr Medical Center.

The festivities will include a
firework display, and the Lexing-
ton Philharmonic Concert will per-
form an “Evening with the Pops.”
conducted by George Zach.

The guest list will include inter-
im President Charles Wethington,
Governor A. B. “Happy“ Chan-
dler, and several Board of Trustees
members.

Darwin Allen, vice-chancellor
of the Medical Center and celebra-
tion organizer. said he expects a
turnout of 2,700 tonight and 4,500
at tomorrow's afternoon picnic.

“Theme" tables will be set up.
judged. and prizes will be given
for the most unique table and the
best anniversary table, Allen said.
The judging will start approxi-
mately at 6:45 pm. at the picnic
site, behind the Gluck Equine Re-
search Center. The concert and
ﬁreworks display will follow.

Allen said he is excited about
Saturday’s events, which will in-
clude a volleyball tournament,
Monte Carlo games and concerts
by Hawkeye and Chocolate and
Vanilla.

“(The tournament) is going to
be one of the bigger events. We
have 32 teams that are signed up,"
Allen said. “We anticipate a lot of
fun with it."

The picnic will last from 12
pm. to 6 pm.

A portion of the proceeds will
be donated to the United Way and
the Children’s Miracle Network.

Peter Bosomworth, chancellor

of the Medical Center, said the
anniversary is a commemoration
of the institution’s improvements
in research and medical service.

“It’s another milestone for UK,
with regard to the preparation of
health care professionals in the
development of a high quality re-
search program, and a provision
of major level of services to the
Kentuckians.”

“In the last five years. we have
made major advances in our re-
search program." Bosomworth
said. “The productivity of re-
search prograrns has more than
doubled (and) the funding has
doubled in that period of time."

Bosomworth emphasized the
important role employees play in
the advancement of the Medical
Center.

“Mostly what we’re celebrating
is the interest of our employees.
We have almost 5,000 employees
here in the Medical Center, and
we hope that most of those people
will turn up for the celebration on
Friday evening with the Pops eon-
cert," Bosomworth said. “We’ll
have an opportunity to thank them
and to recognize them as what
makes this place work.

“We’re not singling out a single
employee, because we’re really
interested in team building and
getting all the employees to sup-
port the goals and objectives of
the institution, which we believe
they do very well.

“(Employees) are very commit—
ted, and they each in their own
way play a role. I think this insti-
tution has continued to strive to
achieve its maximum potential.
and we’re doing very well and it’s

Scrimmage tests UK starters

By BOB NORMAN
Sports Editor

UK‘s starters were supposed to
have a light workout yesterday
against their third-string counter-
parts. But the scout team players,
who formed a rag»tag army of walk-
ons and benchers, tumed the second
fall scrimmage into a regular battle.

It was like colonial soldiers whip-
ping the redcoats — for the first half
of the intrasquad scrimmage. any-

“It was the best job by a scout

was just great."

The scout team. in perhaps the
most fun game they will play
and possibly the only game they
will play — this year, put all the en-
thusiasm and energy they had into
playing the game. Concerted
whoops and cheers were heard from
the team’s bench with each big _.
and small — conquest.

Those cheers could be heard loud-
ly every time third-string quarter-
back Ryan Hockman threw a touch-
down pass. There were three of
them.

“There was some powerful good
execution out there from Hock-
man," Curry said.

Although the scout team‘s enthu-
siasm never diminished, the stan-
ers‘ experience and raw talent grad-
ually welled up and ﬁnally took

Football reserves battle
starters in UK scrimmage

Continued from page 1

Harris had a remarkable day: three
carries for 41 yards and three touch~
downs.

Sophomore kicker Doug Pelfrey
led the kicking crew, as he seeming-
ly breeled through his kicking du-
ties with shots from 30 to 50 yards.
Pelfry has had a strong fall and has
secured the starting position.

These offensive forces, along with
a conlident defense, finally over-
powered the gritty scouts. And the
climax was a sight to behold.

(‘tury ended the scrimmage with
a set of one-minute drills in which
he created a game situation. After
the scouts failed to get a first down
in the first imaginary situation, Cur-
ry .L'-!\ e the ball back to the starters.

He had the ball put on the first
team's 20 yard line, and told the of -
fense they had one minute to march
up field and score a field goal to
win the imaginary game.

From there it was all Maggard.
He smoothly passed and executed
his offense 50 yards forward to the
thirty with roughly 20 seconds re—
maining. Curry intervened here and
told the team to gain seven yards. as
that would set up a comfortable 40
yard field goal for Pelfry‘s strong
leg.

After a two quick incompletions,
eight seconds remained. “One
more," Curry said over his bullhom.
Maggard, on third down, then hit
Phil Logan with a sharp pass to the
left sideline. With three seconds on

the clock, Pelfry lifted the forty-
yarder through the goalposts.

It is just those kinds of situations
that Curry is concentrating on. He
said he is working out the kinks,
fine-tuning the group of players
into a stable, forceful team.

“But we are far from a polished
football team,” Curry said after the
scrimmage. “We are going to have
to polish like crazy, plus work on
the fundamentals between now and
game time to be able to beat any-
body.

“ . If they had progressed as
much as I had hoped, we would be
ready to play the (Pittsburgh) Steel-
ers, and that just isn’t going to hap-
pen. We’ve made some decent
progress, butl want to see more.”

Notre Dame’s Holtz defends allegations of steroid abuse

By THOMAS P. WYMAN
Assocrated Press

SUUIH BEND, Ind. __- Notre
Dame is playing aggressive defense
against stinging allegations of drug
abuse that tarnish the university's
caret-till} cu‘tnated image of clean
football.

(Mich Lou Hqu and athletic de-
partment otti.ials have attacked,
ICE'II'CxI goon up some ground, and

fought ﬁercely for other territory.

The hasty but well-coordinated
response was triggered by a maga-
zine article written by a former
player who claimed steroid abuse
was rampant among Irish football
players.

Former Irish center Steve Huff-
man, who left the program three
years ago, writes in the Aug. 27 is-
sue of Sports Illustrated that Holtz
must have known of, and by impli-

The University of

cation tolerated, the abuse of ster-
oids.

“I did not come here to defend
myself,” Holtz said Wednesday as
he began reading a lengthy state-
ment denying Huffman's allega-
tions.

He then grimly defended himself,
presenting testimonials from former
players and assistants, even offering
to show a bank check he had re-
fused for helping an anti—drug edu-

cation program.

Team doctor James M. Moriarity
feinted, saying in an early response
that “no Notre Dame player has ever
been found to test positive by the
NCAA."

Athletic director Richard Rosen-
thal gave up that ground when he
admitted the school’s own testing
program had discovered f ivc players
using steroids since 1987.

tacking Sports Illustrated for failing
to offer Notre Dame’s side of the
story. And Holtz fought for territory
he believed he owned as a opponent
of performance-enhancing drugs.

“I think I’ve done everything I can
to deter the use of drugs, both street
drugs as well as steroids,” he said.

Huffman claimed nearly half the
players who lettered were using ster-
oitls and that two unidentified assist—
ant coachcs suggested that he take
the muscle-building drug to get
stronger.

“I totally deny unequivocally
everything that was written,” IIOIU.
said. “I detest the insinuation that
two of our coaches suggested that
athletes take steroids. I, along with
the university and the country.
would like to know who they are."

Huffman did not name the coach-
es or any of the players who alleged-

ly used steroids, which are banned
by the NCAA.

Rosenthal said the five players
who tested positive were disci-
plined. He declined to identify them
or to say whether they were dis-
missed from the team or school.

“None of the five players who had
positive tests were permitted to
compete in games while steroids
were in their system,” Rosenthal
said.

He said the university‘s testing
program was bolstered in I987, and
concentrated on starting players.
The five positives came from 466
tests conducted since then, he said.

Rosenthal said data gathered be-
fore 1987 no longer existed, but that
the incidence of steroid abuse was
no higher then. The testing program
is administered by Notre Dame‘s
medical center.

‘Edutainment’ a chilling picture of the real American beliefs

By MICHAEL L. JONES
Arts Editor

Edutainment
Boogie Down Productions
BMG

And in my opinion the young gen-
eration of whites, blacks, browns,
whatever else there is. you're living
at a time of extremism. a time 0 rev-
olution, a time when there's got to
be a change. People in power have
misused it, and now there has to be a
change and a better world has to be
built, and the only way it's going to
be built is with extreme methods. I
for one will join in with anyone, I
don't care what color you are. as
long as you want to change this mis-
erable condition that exists on this
earth.

— Malcolm X

BDP are black revolutionaries
ﬁrst for the humanity and then for
the upliftment of Africa.

—— KRS-ONE

His name means “knowledge
reigns supreme over nearly every-
one." His crew is called Boogie
Down Productions, and he has made
three of the greatest albums in the
history of Hip-hop.

Not bad for a 25-year-old, who
spent two years living homeless on
the streets.

Edutainment ﬁnds KRS-ONE at
his most militant, lyrically, and his
most progressive, musically. All of
his Afrocentric philosophies are de-
livered over funky, reggae beats, and
a few of them sound extremely close
to traditional reggae.

The 12 songs on the album are
separated by “exhibits,” which are
excerpts from speeches. Each one at-
tempts to explain the relationship be-
tween Americans and their “so-
called government." This album is
an invitation to a revolution.

“Edutainment,” is a combination
of education and entertainment. KRS
is known as “The Teacher,” and this
is yet another lesson. This is more
like a class on American society than

Networks get weirder to

By DEBORAH HASTINGS
Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Never in the
ﬁeld of television battle has so
much been offered by so many net-
works to an audience so dwindling.
And never before have broadcasters
fought so hard for the hearts and
eyeballs of viewers.

To be precise, 98 shows are on
the way this fall, 35 of them new ——
the highest number of original pro—
grams in television history.

There are several reasons for this
dizzying prime-time array:

Upstart Fox jumps from eight to
12 hours of programming this fall
and debuts IO shows; CBS, deter-
mined to blast out of last place, has
an ambitious slate

ule,” he said. “We really do think
this our strongest development sea-
son in years.”

Last-place CBS, which has the
largest number of new shows.
launches its fall season Sept. 17. But
the network‘s large number of origi-
nal programs is not simply an ag-
gressive bid to gain ground. It also
reflects the high percentage of shows
that were yanked from last season’s
lineup.

“On our (old) schedule, we had a
number of shows that worked poorly
for us," said Peter Tonorici, senior
vice president of CBS program plan-
ning. “This was the best way for us
to go.”

The plethora of choices aside,
broadcast networks are losing view-

ers for a very simple

of 11 brand-new
programs. NBC,
with aging whizkid
Brandon Tanikoff
no longer in charge
of entertainment
shows. has re-
vamped its equally
aging schedule by
infusing it with nine
fresh series.

Only ABC, with
a tiny stable of six
fall offerings, is not
churning the waters of television
viewers. Instead, the network ap-
pears content to save much of its
bait for the 1991 spring season. That
strategy paid off earlier this year
when ABC premiered “America’s
Funniest Home Videos," which shot
to No. I in the Nielsen ratings, and
“Twin Peaks,” which spawned more
media accolades than a PBS docu-
mentary.

As the feeding frenzy begins,
NBC pushed out ﬁrst two weeks
ago with an early launch of its fall
schedule. CBS is going to give away
cars and VCRs and $250,000 in
credit card funds in a promotional
campaign tied to K man stores.

With viewers defecting in record
numbers to cable stations. home vid-
eo rentals and satellite dish chan-
nels. the stakes for broadcast net-
works have reached an
unprecedented high.

“We are living in a world where
it’s very hard to get people to watch
(network) television," said Peter
Chemin, president of Fox Entertain-
ment Group. “We are going into a
season that is going to be ﬁlled with
an incredibly competitive mix of
shows."

With Fox extending its program-
ming hours, the network‘s fall sea-
son is more nerve-wracking than
usual and begins on Sept. 1. “I’m
nervous,” Chemin said. “I‘m ner-
vous about everything right now.

“We are very excited about the
shows we have,” he said. “But it’s a
very risky thing we‘re doing and it’s
going to be a tough year for this
company."

Not to mention Fox's audacious
decision to put its cult-inspiring hit
“The Simpsons“ up against NBC’s
beloved and highly rated “The Cos-
by Show."

NBC is steadfast. “We still be-
lieve that Cosby' is going to be the
dominant show in that time period."
said Perry Simon. the peacock net-
work‘s executive vice president of
prime-time programs.

And although NBC admits that its
lineup has contained some resound-
ing ﬂops. the network is focusing
much time and money on rebound-
ing this season, Simon said.

“The new schedule is ambitious
and it represents NBC acknowledg-
ing that we need an injection of
fresh programming into our sched-

reason. Tortorici
said.

“The real problem
is there are too few
good things," he
said. “A schedule
has to have balance.
We're trying to de-
liver programming
for everybody” — a
real switch for CBS,
whose core audience
has tended to be old-
er viewers outside
the l8-to-49-year-old age group c0v-
eted by advertisers.

ABC executives were too busy to
comment on their new shows, said
ABC spokesman Jim Brochu.

Coach potatoes can look forward
this fall to a grab bag of raunch,
flash, formula writing and small
pockets of innovative storytelling.
More than half of the 35 series are
comedies, but only a fraction are fun-
ny.

30 Cops or More, one of two bo-
nus tracks on the tape and compact
disc, is one of the greatest songs
BDP has ever produced. Over a raw
drum beat. KRS raps, When they or-

rest a black man/They need 30 cops
or more, yeah/If you are a black
herb smuggler they will watch you
do the night/It just means if you have
more money then you have more
power. In the background you can
hear a whisper, “listen, listen.”

KRS has talked about his vegetari-
anism on a number of songs before,
but in Beef. he has written a compan-
ion to The Smith’s Meat Is Murder.
He contends that with 21 drugs
pumped into beef, the meat is the
country‘s most addictive drug.

Any drug is addictive. by any

the same/The FDA has America

death/Keep eating the dead and

The epitome of weird, however. is
personified by ABC‘s “Cop Rock."
the latest offering from “Hill St.
Blues" and “LA. Law" creator Ste-
ven Bochco.

“Cop Rock“ features a mayor on
the take, police who dispense with a
suspected cop killer by simply mur-
dering him, and a junkie who sells
her baby for a fix. In between —— and
sometimes during ——» these acts. the
cast breaks into song.

setting number of new shows still ts

executives agreed.

“Quality is the great levelcr." said
NBC's Simon. "If a show ts well
made. if a show delivers for its audi-
ence, that‘s the show that’s going to
emerge as the successful program.“

Negroes got too much out of line. he
held them back in check. He put
them back on the plantation.”

KRS expands on this theme in a
modem context. The road to equality
for minorities is not adopting a new
culture, but having pride in their
own culture. On “House Niggas"
and “Ya Stugglin‘ " (featuring
Kwame’ Ture’ — formerly Stokely
Carmichael) the Teacher preaches to
rap cross-over artists and R and B
singers who down—play their black-
ness.

You want a palm tree, a nice dope

obeyed/Which is, “Know thy self for

rappers are concerned with
wealth...ln the face of intelligence ig-

became it. he raps in “House Nig-

The ﬁrst single, Love's Gonna Get
Cha (Material Love), tells the story
of a poor boy who gets involved
with drugs to support his family.

They disagree with what he's doing,
but as he asks “what the f——k am I
suppose to do." In an interview,
KRS said that it was the story of
what could have happen to him if he
hadn't found Hip-hop.

“Love" is proof of the lack of real-
ity in the “Just Say No" campaign.

“The Racist" deals With what KRS
sees as the five levels of racism. It
closes the album on a positive note
about unity. He says that the black
man who hates someone simply be-
cause they are white is JUSI as racist
and as brainwashed as the white ra‘
cist.

If blacks and whites didn't argue

ernment is screwing them both.

For all of his talk about raps that
Just glorify themselves, KRS has a
lot of raps about how great he is, and
even if you are not familiar with his
philosophy, it‘s a wonder to hear
him manipulate the English lan~

Solid performances, director
save ‘Presumed Innocent’

By KlP BOWMAR
Senior Staff Writer

Most people who read Scott Tur-
ow’s gripping novel “Presumed In-
nocent" were both excited and ap-
prehensive about it being tunted into
a m0vie.

Director Alan Pakula has worked
hard to transfer the excitement and
tension of the book to the screen.
and in some instances he succeeds.
However, in certain parts of the mo—
vie the pace is slow. and the movie
becomes muddled.

The story opens as Rusty Savage
(Harrison Ford) and other lawyers in
the prosecuting attorney’s ofﬁce
learn that one of their female co-
workers was brutally killed. The
head prosecuting attomey (Brian
Dennehy) assigns a reluctant Savage
to the case.

As the investigation progresses.
certain bits of evidence lead a trail
back to Savage, and the audience
learns that married Savage had an af—

fair with the dcad woman rCireta
Scaccht).

Savage is charged with murder, 'dl
though someone may be trying; to
