The recent fighting in Washington
over budget negotiations may affect
some UK students receiving Staf-
ford Loans.

Students who have not yet re-
ceived their loan money to pay their
tuition and fees may have their class
schedules canceled as a result of a
loan freeze. The possible freeze
would be in place until Oct. 8, when

The loan freeze will only affect
students who had not received their
loan money as of last Friday and
were granted extensions for pay-

versity until Oct. 10.

Although Congress has reached a
tentative budget agreement, the
Gramm-Rudman-Hollings law could
still take effect if that agreement is
rejected by the Senate or the House
of Representatives.

If it takes effect, the origination

The origination fee is an applica-

have processed and received their
loans before Oct. 1.

The KHEAA has suspended pro-

Change important,
teacher tells Greeks

By HOLLY HOUSTON
Staff Writer

Greeks beware — change your lifestyles or
“go the way of the dinosaurs.“ said a former
Oregon State University professor in a tclc«
conference broadcast live Sunday night.

About 200 UK fraternity and sorority mem-
bers gathered at the Old Student Center Thea-
ter, along with Greek brothers and sisters at
142 sites across the US. and Canada, to hear
Dr. Will Keim and other Greek-life experts
tell them what to expect as Greek members in
the ’90s.

“The Power of Caring: Greek Life Will
Survive the ’90s," was broadcast to about
125,000 Greeks nationwide.

Keim invited 13 panelists noted for their
expertise on Greek life to speak on topics
ranging from alcohol and drug abuse to schol»
arship, and challenged the audience several
times to practice the ideals on which their or—
ganizations were founded.

Although Greeks are expected to be social—
ly responsible, Keim said often “in isolated
pockets you practice homophobia, racism, al-
cohol abuse, hazing, sex abuse and poor
scholarship.”

He urged Greek students to pioneer leader—
ship movements at their campuses by making
their organizations reflect equality and diver-
sity rather than the status quo.

“We‘re going to lead," Keim said. “We will

their opportunities and initiate changes in
their chapters by choosing members who rep
resent the changing face of the country. he
said.

"We don't have to reflect the Tut'lsm. and
hate and sexrsm in our society.

“What if the Greek community became the
one place where men and women were ac~
cepted for who they are. not what color their
skin is, not how much money they have, not
their socro—economic background." Keim
asked.

Keim and the I i panelists asked (ireek un-
dergraduate students to be responsible for
themselves and their behavror, as well as to
their chapters, communities. and national or
ganizations.

Ed King, director of Housing. Residential
Life and Student Judicial Systems at Bradley
I'rirversity in Iiiln()l\'. used a line from the
movie “Dead Poets Socrety" u hen he talked
about rarpe dtem , a Latin term for “seize the
day.”

King said Greek rituals are shrouded in se-
crecy because Greek members are atraid that
people will expect them to live by u hat is in
their creeds and bylaws, and asked Greeks to
stand by the ideals of their chapter.

“Let‘s take these values out and live them."

Senate hopefuls discuss ideas, issues ‘

By MARY MADDEN
Staff Writer

Preparing for Student Government
Association elections today and to-
morrow, candidates for freshman
senator took part in a forum last
night to let their counterparts know
about their ideas and platforms.

A panel consisting of Ashley
Boyd and Allen Putman. SGA sena-
tors at large; Jay Ingle, chairman of
SGA’s National Issues Forum com-
mittee; and Jamie Wolfe, president
of Blanding Tower‘s residence hall
government, asked the freshmen
prepared questions about campus is-
sues ranging from UK’s alcohol pol-

icy to 24-hour visitation in resi-
dence halls.

The 14 candidates who partici-
pated last night are vying for four
seats on the SGA senate. The for-
um, which lasted about 45 minutes,
was held in the Donovan Hall lob-
by.

Dave McDowell, a physics and
economics freshman, was asked
what could be done to take pressure
off the Board of Trustees in future
presidential searches.

”For one thing. I think the most
important part of a presidential
search is to make it nationwide. I

Recycling efforts

By JULIA LAWSON
Staff Writer

Although Earth Day is over, the
need to recycle is Still here.

“Americans generate more gar-
bage than any other country about
160 million tons a year," said Autry
Bradshaw, surplus property admin-
istrator for UK.

Kentucky produces about 340,000
tons of waste a year, but through re-
cycling the state can reduce the vol-

ume of waste that goes to landfills.

“We can increase the life of our
landfill by 25 percent by 1992 if we
start recycling," Bradshaw said. Re-
cycling would add two years to the
life of a landfill.

UK contributes abOut 325 to 350
tons of garbage a month to a land-
fill, and although that figure is a
small part of the waste, Bradshaw
said students and faculty can allevi-
ate the problem by increasing recy-
cling efforts.

search was nationwide, but I feel
that it could have been publicized
much more than it was,” said
McDowell.

When asked what one thing he
would change about UK’s campus,
William Summers, a business man-
agement freshman, said he would
change visitation hours in residence
halls.

“We're all adult enough to handle
certain situations. There‘s no reason
why I couldn’t go over to, say, a girl
who I wanted to study with at any
time of the night."

Libby Howell, a busrness finance
freshman, was asked if she thought
students age 21 and older should be

allowed to drink on campus.

“I do think of-age people should
be allowed to drink on campus.
They are of age, and when you’re
21, you can drink anywhere else."

Melanie Julian, an English and
theatre freshman, said grades should
have a strong impact on fratemity
involvement in organizations such
as the Interfratemity Council.

“One of the reasons why every-
body looks forward to coming to
college, l know, is for the social
fact. for getting involved in fratemi-
ties and sororities," Julian said.

Autry Bradshaw,
UK surplus administrator

A committee was formed in June
I989 to look into beginning a recy-
cling program. Although UK began
recycling some items in 1972. an ac-
tive recycling program was not insti-

tuted until recently.

Last spring, UK placed bins for
recycling newspaper. glass, alumi-
num, and other paper products by
the parking lot at Blazer Hall and
another on Hilltop Avenue. by K-
Lair Grill.

In just five weeks, 80.000 pounds
of waste was collected in these bins.

“It may be inconvenient (to recy-
cle), but it saves our environment.“
Bradshaw said.

There have been some indepen-

dent cffons to help the cm ironment.

“When they saw students becom-
ing concerned about the environ
ment, they got excited about the pro-
gram," Bradshaw said.

Davrd Bccler, an agricultural engi»

cling program at the Patterson Of-
fice Tower.

3UK gets $3 million loan for housing repairs

By HOLLY HOUSTON
Staff Writer

The UK Housing Department will
be able to finish renovating UK‘s
residence halls and campus apart-
ments with the help of a $3 million
loan from the US. Department of
Education.

State representative Larry Hop-
kins yesterday announced a College
Facility Loan that will allow UK to
make needed improvements such as
working on plumbing and electrical

 

“This loan should help make sure residence halls
meet safety standards and provrde an envrron-
ment more conducive to learning.”

Larry Hopklns, Republican state representative

 

wiring in its older dormitories and
in Greg Page Apartments.

“This loan should help make sure
residence halls meet safety start-
dards and provide an environment

more conducive to learning," Hop-
kins said in a statement.

The $3 million loan is the maxi-
mum amount granted to universities
in a single loan, said Allen Rieman,

director of Auxiliary Services. He
said the loan will enable UK to
make repairs that “we can‘t squeeze
out of the regular budget."

The work is expected to start next
May and will include updated
smoke alarms, new doors, fire safety
measures, plumbing and electrical
updating.

Greg Page Apartments and all of
UK’s residence halls will be reno-
vated, with the older dorms on north
campus getting the most attention.

The Housing Department has

done intermittent work on residence
halls during the last few years, but
Rieman said it has not had the time
or money for a complete renovation.

“One of the problems dealing
with renovation is that we've only
got about three months." Rieman
said.

“Most of the work cannot be done
with any students living in the build-
ings."

The College Facility Loan does
not have to be paid back for 30

years and has a 5.5 percent interest
rate.

UK applied for the loan last year
but was turned down after failing to
meet certain criteria, including ener-
gy efficiency, number of bedspaces
and the age of the buildings.

“This year we had better luck,”
said Jack Blanton, vice chancellor
for adminstration.

New publications recognize UK for quality, value

For the third time, UK has been
recognized as an institution where a
quality education is available at a
reasonable cost. Two new publica-
tions have said so — “Barron‘s 300

and “Money" magazine's “Money

Buys."

Joseph L. Fink Ill, UK admis-
sions director, said UK has been

Budget called ‘last chance’

By TOM RAUM
Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President
Bush moved to rally public suppon
yesterday for a plan he called the na-
tion‘s “last best chance" to control
the federal deficit after Republican
lawmakers told him the package
was in trouble in Congress.

Opening a campaign for the $500-
billion package of tax increases and
spending curbs unveiled on Sunday.
Bush scheduled a lO-minute eve-
ning televised address. He also
planned to press for the package in
speeches around the nation, said
spokesman Marlin Fitzwater.

“There‘s a lot of people who disa-
gree with this. A lot of people have
trouble with it And they need to be
convinced. And we’ll do our best,"
Fitzwater said.

Conservative opponents indicated
Bush was already making progress.

Rep. Newt Gingrich, the No. 2

than half the House Republicans
were opposed or leaning against the

UK UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY 0 COLLEGE OF FINE ARTS

UK is the only Kentucky public
university that is listed in either the
Barron’s book or the top 100 public
institutions listed in the “Money”
guide.

Criteria used by Barron’s includes
average test scores of entering fresh-
men. percentage of faculty holding
doctoral degrees, room and board
expenses, percentage of students
who graduate and go on to seek
higher degrees, tuition rates, and ac—
ademic, extracurricular and finan-
cial aid programs.

“Barron’s is a publisher of college
guidebooks that has been around for
quite some time. Their publications
are highly regarded,” Fink said.
“They do a very thorough job of re—
searching the institutions that

package but that it would eventually
win congressional approval because
of administration lobbying.

Another opponent, Rep. Vin We-
ber, R-Minn.. agreed, saying, “I'd
guess right now it would be narrow-
ly defeated. By tomorrow, it would
be narrowly passed. People are
being moved, one-by-one."

The budget package would raise
taxes on gasoline, alcohol, cigar-
ettes, boats and furs while trimming
benefits to farmers and Medicare re-
cipients. It also would reduce tax
deductions for people who earn
more than S 100,000.

Fitzwater said that Bush decided
to speak now rather than later be-
cause Congress “may vote tomor—
row. We can‘t afford to wait.”

Earlier yesterday. Bush sought to
win over a group of House Republi-
cans who were either undecided on
the package or leaning against it.
Some 35 members came. though the
White House indicated about 60 had
been invited.

“I’m undecided. 50’s the nation.”
said Rep. Robcn Doman, R-Calif,

they’re going to profile and include
in their publications, and that makes
us particularly proud to be included
in their publication."

“Kentucky’s largest university is
working hard to shed its less-than-
competitive image,” the Barron’s
guide states, describing UK’s aca-
demic standing.

Barron’s two-page profile of UK
praises its academic program, point-
ing out several recent improve-
ments, including higher admission
standards and enhanced general edu-
cation requirements known as Uni-
versity Studies.

Suzanne McGurk, assistant direc-
tor of admissions, recniits students
for UK. She said Kentucky residents
— parents, in particular —— that she

after the first of three sessions be-
tween Bush and GOP lawmakers.

Bush, giving a preview of the eve-
ning television address, told a group
of business leaders at the White
House that he knew the deficit-
fighting package would require sac-
rifices.

“This budget agreement is our last
best chance to get the federal budget
deficit under control," Bush said.

“To all the people that disagree
and the people on the sidelines that
are rushing out and having their
press conferences and the critics, let
me say this: You can pick the pack-
age apart but you cannot realistical-
ly put a better package together.”

He' also apologized to the busi-
ness group that in the course of forg-
ing the compromise he had aban-
doned his call for a cut in the capital
gains tax.

has talked to since Barron's and
Money published their results are
impressed by the school‘s economic
value.

The Money Guide, which is in
chart form, provides information on
colleges and universities in eight
different categories, several of
which are similar to the criteria used
by Barron’s.

The guide, which includes a list
of 100 public and a list of 100 pri-
vate schools, calls the institutions
the “top 200 schools for your mon-
ey" and lists UK as 39th among the
public schools.

“Money” is a l6cyear-old month-
ly magazine published by Time Inc.
It has a circulation of 1.6 million.
This is the first time it has published

for U.S.

“The philosophy I was elected on
runs out of gas in terms of votes in
the United States Congress,” Bush
said.

Fitzwater said Bush would do
what it took to build support for the
plan, even if it meant “twisting arms
and cajoling” Republicans.

The most vociferous opposition to
the plan hammered out by White
House and congressional leaders has
come from Bush’s own party.

Rep. Mickey Edwards, R-Okla.,
said Bush had not persuaded him
and he still was likely to vote
against the package.

But Rep. Thomas Coleman, R-
Mo., said he would support the
package. “It’s the only ball game in
town,” he said. “If this goes down,

you’re going to see chaos.”

“An interesting point is that both

said Fink.

‘F-- the Police/Coming straight

— Niggas With Attitude, “---F
the Police."

When NWA released its second
album, Straight Out of Compton, it
was a slap in the face for the white

and black establishments. America
had been eating too much of Bill
Cosby’s Jell-O pudding, and all
those Jesse Jackson-loving “Afri-
can-Americans” were faced with six
self-proclaimed “niggas.”

Racist America’s worst night-
mares were coming true. Here were
young. black men talking about
shooting policemen, selling drugs
and wilding — senseless gang vio-
lence.

A member of the FBI. who was
later demoted, even wrote a letter to
NWA’s record company complain-
ing about “---F the Police.”

NWA declared war on the con-
sciousness of both white and black
America alike. The group was go-
ing to use the word nigger so much
it took on a new meaning. The ”903
nigger — hard, ruthless and street-
sman. They were snatching back
two things that they felt were being
taken from them, their blackness
and their manhood.

It is a fmstrating thing when the

most popular black artists in Ameri-
ca are feminine-looking males like
Michael Jackson and Prince. The
boys from the

hood meant to

change that, and

in the rap world,

along with bands

like Public Ene-

sen by H.A.K. Company for the

1973? Who is sane and who is in-
sane? The author of “Rosemary’s
Baby,” “Death Trap" and “Stepford
Wives" provides a roller coaster
ride for the audience full of twists

and turns that are certain to both en—
tertain and horrify.

Brown, including potato, vegetable,
salad, fresh baked break. dessert and
coffee or tea.

“You want to sweep a nigga like
me up under the
rug/Kickin‘ more

. s--t called street

' knowledge/How
come more niggas
in jail than in col-
lege?/because of
that line l might be
your cellmate/
That‘s from the
nigga you love to
hate.” Cube raps
on the first song.
“The Nigga You
Love to Hate."

The talent on
this album is a vol-
atile mix, with one
of Los Angeles’s
best hard-core rap-
pers and a produc-
tion squad that
makes music Play-
boy magazine de-
scribed as “the

closest rap will ever get to punk.”
This album is only for those who
like their raps hard-core — Young
MC and MC Hammer fans would
not be pleased.

Ice Cube and his new crew, the
Lench Mob. are trying to illustrate
life as they see it Cube is a street
poet, a storyteller. He assumes the
roles of the characters in his raps.

He can be raw as on the title track
when he says, “Gonna see a nigga
invasion, point-blank on a Cauca-
sian."

Or he can be offensive, as on
“You Can’t Fade Me," when he
finds he might have gotten the
neighborhood tramp pregnant —
“Why did I bang her?/Now I'm in
the closet looking for the hanger.“
But he is always interesting.

“You Can’t Fade Me,"
an amazing Parliament sample.
“Who’s the Mack," on side two,
also features a great Brothers John-
son tune in the background. Howev-
er, the majority of the songs on the

features

album are original compositions by
the Bomb Squad along with some
inventive sampling.

Side two opens with “A Chil-
dren’s Fairytale" where Cube casts
Mister Rogers, Mother Goose char-
acters and Dr. Bombay from “Be-
witched" as gangsters and drug deal-
crs on Sesame Street.

"Ice Cube Will tell the kids how
the story should go.“

“It‘s A Man's World" is probably
the closet Cube will ever come to
making a feminist song. It is a battle
of the sexes with female rapper Yo-
Yo.

“It’s a man’s world," she declares,
"but it wouldn’t be a damn thing
without a woman’s touch.”

Overall AmeriKKKa, although a
great album, doesn’t measure up to
the intensity of Straight Out of
Compton. But Ice Cube succeeds as
a spokesman for the so-called low~
lites that the “War On Drugs” is
meant to stamp out. AmeriKKKa's
Most Wanted is a reality check.
