UK Hospital named one of state’s best trauma centers

By DAVID A. HALL
Staff Writer

 

ral areas of Eastem and Southeastern Is’eri
tucky usually are first taken to a lot .i‘ hi _.
pital for treatment. Then it is the chit-rue?
cy room physician's decision on '»\ heii. i t

Frank Butler, UK hospital director.

The verification, given by the American
College of Surgeons Committee on Trau-
ma, makes UK one of only two such hospi-
tals in Kentucky. Before verification, Hu-
mana Hospital University in Louisville was
the lone hospital in the state designated as a
Level 1 Trauma Center.

Gerald Strauch, director of the trauma

department for the ACS, said “the verifica-
tion is a contract between the ACS and the
hospital as to the way we see trauma care
and commitment demonstrated.”

The process for verification included the
committee’s review of a report submitted
by UK and an on-site inspection of its fa-
cility.

“The ACS has developed criteria which

sets the standard for the highest quality of
care for victims of trauma,” said Byron
Young, professor and chairman of UK’s
department of surgery. ”The sad fact is that
the public has very little objective data to
decide where to receive their medical care.
Trauma care is the exception to this general
rule."

Young said that trauma victims in the ru»

Top-ranked Tigers of preseason ready for SEC

 

state papers,
editor says

By PATRICK CASHMAN
Contributing Writer

John S. Carroll, Executive Vice
President and Editor of the Lexing—
ton Herald-Leader, spoke yesterday
about the effects of numerous libel
suits on small-town newspapers in
Kentucky.

“It seems to me that the First
Amendment, as applied to small
counties in Kentucky. is pretty
nearly dead," Carroll said yesterday
in the Reading Room of the Jour-
nalism Building. “If it‘s not dead,
it‘s wounded."

Carroll first formed this opinion
after reading a report concerning
the chilling effect of rampant libel
suits in small Kentucky counties on
reporting in general, he said.

The chilling effect is felt when
journalists see other journalists
sued for libel. The observing jour-
nalists then become afraid to write
controversial news articles, fearing
they will also be sued.

This effect mostly concerns small
newspapers, where a libel suit can
quickly put a paper out of business.

“What I‘m concerned about is
the state of small newspapers in
Kentucky, where the chilling effect
is an epidemic," Carroll said.

The speech, entitled ”An Editor‘s
view of the First Amendment in
Kentucky,“ mentioned several ex—
amples of First Amendment protec—
tion not heeded or respected by the
court systems in the state.

Carroll cited the case of Homer
Marcum, who founded and operat-
ed The Martin Countian until he re-

ORLANDO, Fla. - With a pair
of seven-footers and one of the
top guards in the country on his
team, Louisiana State University
Coach Dale Brown was all smiles
in the preseason.

After all, he had reason to be
happy. Most Southeastern Confer-
ence coaches had conceded both
the NCAA and league titles to the
talent-rich Tigers, who returned
All-American Chris Jackson and
big men Stanley Roberts and Sha-
quille O'Neal.

The biggest question, then,
wasn't if the Tigers would win the
league, but when.

“Every time we went out on the
court everybody wanted a high-
light film," said Brown, whose
team instead lost seven games and
finished tied for second in the
league. “And I think that‘s a very
big disservice for this team."

LSU finished 22-7 overall in the
regular season and 12—6 in the
SEC, :1 game behind champion
University of Georgia. But the Ti-
gers were expected to do much
more.

But the Tigers didn’t even I'in-
ish the regular season in the Asso-
ciated Press Top 35.

“When these guys picked us
No. 1 before the season, I did not
say it was crazy," Brown told re»
porters at a news conference here
yesterday. “I knew it was possi~
bIe, but also improbable."

 

LSU’s Brown adjusts
to unfamiliar position

The fact is, Brown said, that
this LSU team has done every-
thing one can and should expect
from a freshman-and sophomore-
dominated team.

His players back him up.

“I think people just forget that
we are still a very young team,"
said Jackson, named the SEC
Player of the Year for the second
time. “Now, that‘s not an excuse,
but we still have a whole lot to
learn."

Of LSU‘s seven losses, five
came on the road, where young
teams have usually found heart-
ache, and the other two were to
the University of Kansas (89-83)
and Georgia in overtime.

So, to say this team has under-
achieved is unwarranted.

“It’s been the most unheralded
team," Brown said. “Only five
teams in LSL7 history have won
more games. and this season isn’t
even over it ith."

But when listening to Brown
speak. you'd think the Tigers
were undefeated and going for
their fourth consecutive national
title.

“I never had this emotion until
after this season - I am really
proud of this basketball team,"
said Brown, whose team meets
Auburn University today at 3:30
pm.

“...In my 18 years at LSU, I’ve
never had a team with less prob-
lems. Every team has problems of
some kind, but this team was fun
(to be) with as far as any off-court

Trojan Man

Company promotes safer sex with unique marketing tool

By ALLEN D. GREER
Senior Staff Writer

Faster than a shotgun marriage,
more powerful than the Florida sun,
able to distribute condoms wtth se-
rious determination. It’s a bird, it's
a plane, it’s

Trojan Man, the new corporate
mascot for Trojan brand condoms.

This caped crusader, complete
with a Trojan warrior costume, is
making his public debut this month
in Daytona Beach, Fla. Plans call
for Trojan Man to make appearanc-
es at a company exhibit and drop in
at selected night clubs, according to
Mark Klein, marketing vice presi-
dent for Carter-Wallace Inc, the
condom‘s manufacturer.

Targeted at college-age men,
Trojan Man is making his Florida
premiere during the height of
spring break season. He will be
passing out free condoms and talk-
ing to college students about sexu-
ally transmittcd diseases.

Klein said that the Trojan Man
campaign, which includes radio
spots, promotes the use of condoms
and safe sex practices, and is por-
trayed in a humorous yct educa-
tional manner.

“One out of four college studean
come down with a sexually trans-
mitted disease." Klein said. “It‘s a
question of how to get your mes-
sage across to people that’s tiiemor«
able and responsible. Young people
relate to humor.

“When you talk to young people
anti you pontificate .__ you beat
them over the head and say, ‘Don‘t
do it.‘A~ they don‘t respond to it.
Humor is a way of breaking down
barriers."

One of those barriers is a reluc—
tancc to discuss condom use. Klein
said. “Often, women are not corn-
fortablc bringing up the subject of
condoms, and often, men delegate
it to women as their responsibility.

“The fact that (Trojan Man) gets
people talking about condoms, talk-
ing about this character, makes
people more comfortable." Klein
said.

College students are considered
to be at “high risk“ in catching sex-
ually transmitted diseases, Klein
said, because they think they are in-
vulncrable. “By continuing to edu-
cate students we hope to prevent

the spread of STDs as well as un-
wanted pregnancy."

Lisa Stoler, liK's Health Educa-
tion Coordinator, said that she sees
I‘rojan Man as an ice breaker for
getting people to discuss condom
use.

“Anything that gets people talk-
ing, whether they think it is ludi-
crous or obscene, if it gets them
saying the words, it‘s positive,"
Stolcr said. “Students can't start
having safe sex until they can start
talking about what that means."

Chuck Slaven, an electrical engi-
neering sophomore, said that Tro-
jan Man “is a pretty good idea be-
cause it promotes safe sex. During
spring break, there‘s a lot of people
down (in Florida) with one thing in
mind»-—- to latch on to someone."

But David Haslcr, a finance
sophomore, said students may not
take Trojan Man's message seri-
ously. “I hate to see them using a
Captain Kangaroo character," Has-
Ier said. “College students might
turn this off because they see it as
an attack on their intelligence."

 

 

 

Spring Break

kits given out

By ALLEN D. GREER
Senior Staff Writer

Spring break survival kits,
including such necessities as
toothpaste and condoms,
were given away early this
week in a joint effort by two
student organi7ations.

More than 2,000 of the sur-
vival kits were distributed to
UK students on Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday, ac-
cording to Student Health
Advisory Council president
Pat Hart.

The project was a joint cf-
fort between the council and a
campus alcohol awareness
group, BACCHUS (Boost Al-
cohol Consciousness Con-
cerning the Health of Univer-
sity Students).

LSU’s Brown adjusting to new role

Continued from page 1

ceive the criticism and kind of
bland attitude, even with our fans,
has been great," Brown said

"Yeah, there’s a lot more pres-
sure this year than there was last
year," said Jackson, who led the
league in scoring with 28.8 points
per game. “1 think we’ve handled it
a lot better as the season's gone on.
.. We stopped thinking about it
and just tried to play our game."

The biggest adjustment the LSU
staff had to deal with was the addi-
tion of O’Neal and Roberts. That
was something Brown was not pre-
pared for.

“l’ve never had that luxury,“
Brown said of having two seven-

footers. “It was apparent that my
philosophy was not going to land
us a super-star center for one rea-
son or another.

“ .. We didn't have a center for a
number of years. and then all of a
sudden, we had two of them.”

And when the 7-footers came,
the old offense left.

“it was not an easy adjustment
because we had to change an of—
fense we‘d used for quite a few
years at LSU,” Brown said.

Jackson had to make the adjust-
ments as well.

“It was different. Very differ-
ent,” he said. “Coming up, I never
had the privilege of playing with
two big men like Shaquille and
Stanley. 1 think I‘ve adjusted pretty

well.

“It took time, and I had to learn a
lot, but it was fun."

O'Neal and Robens have adjust-
ed to life in the SEC as well.
O’Neal, a consensus pick to the
All—Freshman team, averaged 13.9
points, while leading the league in
rebounding (12.1 per game) and
blocks (3.4). Roberts. who did not
play as many minutes as O‘Neal in
the latter part of the season, aver-
aged 13.8 points and 9.8 rebounds.

“1 think they both really learned a
lot this season,” Jackson said.
“Stanley’s the better offensive
player, but Shaquille is learning
fast.”

Given all the great players to
play college basketball, if Brown

could bring one back to play with
this team, his choice, undoubtedly,
would be Ricky Blanton.

Blanton’s name comes up at a
Brown‘s news conferences about as
often as UK coach Rick Pitino
mentions Billy Donovan at his.

“Rick Blanton had an uncanny
ability to lead," Brown said of the
6-7 forward who graduated last
year. “He just kind of took Chris
(Jackson) over last season."

And Jackson would probably
also pick Blanton. “He’s such a
strong leader on and off the court.
That‘s the type of leader that we
need. He kept everybody together
and kept their spirits up.

“Who knows what this team
would be like if Ricky were on it.”

Marcum ran the paper from 1979
to 1989 and by the time he sold it,
he had been sued seven times by
the owner of a competing newspa-
per and had spent over $50,000 in
legal fees. Because of the time and
energy involved in fighting the liti-
gation, Marcum said he was not as
aggressive as he used to be and he
constantly second-guessed his jour-
nalistic instincts.

Staff Reports

Students traveling to Daytona
Beach for Spring Break should
take caution. Traffic and criminal
laws, as well as city ordinances.
will be strictly enforced this spring,
said Paul B. Crow, chief of police
for Daytona Beach.

Because of enormous property
damage, sporadic acts of violence,
and disregard of private property
rights which Crow said occurred
last year. the police force of Dayto-
na Beach will be out to maintain
order and civility. Laws regulating
possession and purchase of alco-
holic beverages will receive special
attention this year. Visitors are re-
minded that carrying or consuming
an open alcoholic beverage is pro-
hibited on the beach and in the city
streets.

Professor Curt Harvey, Director
of the College of Business and Ec-

in Vienna, Austria, announced that
eight partial scholarships will be
available to UK students this year.
Three of the scholarships will be
for $1,666 each and will be ear-
marked for Fayette County stu-
dents.

The remaining five scholarships
will be for $1,100 each and will be
used for students who are currently
enrolled in the MBA program or

UK Dance Ensemble to appear in regional competition

By BRIAN JENT
Managing Editor

Instead of venturing down to
Florida for spring break, the UK
Dance Ensemble is hosting the
Southeast Region of the American
College Dance Festival. The festi-
val, which runs from the weekend
of March 15-17, will give people
an opportunity to see, work and
perform with professional artists.

“The American College Dance
Festival is an opportunity for col—
lege dance programs to perform for
each other, see others’ work and
have guest artists as teachers and
adjudicators," said Rayma Beal, co~
ordinator of both the ACDFA

House of

By HWTER HAYES
Arts Editor

Finding success in the music
business can be a difficult task.
Since one of the essential ingre-
dients to achieving that goal is
originality, the band House of
Freaks has had relatively few prob-
lems doing it.

To say they are a unique group
would be a gross understatement,
similar to saying that Elvis Presley
was just another guy with a pom-
padour.

Brian Harvey, half of this two-
man band from Richmond Va.,
says that House of Freaks sings
about themes such as death and dy<
ing. However, they do not take a
traditional view of death.

“We take an upbeat view of

Southeast Region Festival and the
UK Dance Ensemble.

Schools from North Carolina,
Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina
and Florida are going to attend,
Beal said. She also pointed out that
non-southem schools from Illinois,
New York, Missouri also had en-
tered the festival.

“What happened was the festi-
vals which were closer to them had
become full," Beal said. “So, they
were looking for some other place
to come."

However, the festival is not just
geared towards college dancers. Ac-
cording to Beal, intermediate and
advance dance classes will be of-
fered during the day for all ages.

The lessons cost $50 for the entire
three day period, but UK students
get a $5 discount.

People not wishing to take tech-
nique classes for the three days can
enroll in one for a $25 fee.

Each night a guest concert will
be held in the Otis A. Singletary
Center for the Arts. With the aid
of a grant from the Lexington Arts
and Cultural Council, Gregg Lizen-
bcry will travel from California to
perform his solo “Men Dancing."

“It is a historical perspective of
men and modern dance,” Beal said.

Friday’s audience will get to wit-
ness a wide-variety of dances such
as ballet, modern, jazz, tap, African
and flamenco.

The artists performing include
Mary Bruce Blackburn, Rosa Rod-
riguez, Marcus Alford, Rachel
Lampert, Kirt Hathaway, Kathy
Kramer, Meriah Kruse, Mara Mal-
donado and Patti Bingham.

Still, the gala performance, held
on Sat. March 17, is the one that
the students will be looking for-
ward too.

But first they must earn a spot to
perform in the gala spectacular.

During Thursday and Friday
morning and aftemoon, the dancers
will perform before the three adju-
dicators in hopes of being chosen
to dance in the gala.

And if selected for the gala, they
will have a chance to be picked for

the National Festival of the Ameri-
can College Dance festival in May
at North Texas University.

“The top three dances will be se-
lected for the National Festival of
the American College Dance Festi-
val,” Beal said. “These three dances
will represent the Southeast Region
at the Nationals.”

The UK Dance Ensemble will be
perfonning two dances for adjudicar
uon this year.

The first, entitled “Two Part
Mountain Kidd," is a piece choreo-
graphed by Beal for five dancers.

“It’s based on the Appalachian
music of Eastern Kentucky, and use
of clogging steps and modern dance
combined," Beal said

“Bardo,” the other UK dance be-
ing judged, was choreographed by
UK students Mary Beth King and
Janet Hale.

“It's about the experience of the
cycle of death." Beal said “It's a
large group piece."

Beal sees the competition as
fierce, but thinks that her team is
ready for such a challenge

“I think the dances that we are
doing are as creative as other
schools," she said. “( )ur dances will

formed as well as possible.

Freaks more than ordinary rock ’n’ roll band

death," Harvey said, “a crazy, nutty
view. It’s one of the things we
know for sure is going to happen
to us."

The group's thoughts and feel—
ings about passing into the Great
Unknown are not the only elements
that set them apart from other
bands. Harvey said that his early
songwriting techniques were also
unorthodox.

“I took a lot of lines from books
and pieced them together," he said.
“Then I let the critics analyze them
and decipher the meanings. It was
funny because the songs didn‘t
mean anything —~ they were just
bullshit. The critics started saying
how my southern influences were
represented and they started compar-
ing me to William Faulkner."

Evidently this style has served

the group well. The group began
four years ago when Harvey and
Johnny Hott (yes, that is his real
name) decided to throw their hats
irtto the ring of the professional
music world.

Harvey said that they play instru-
ments not generally associated with
rock groups: Harvey plays “lluegal
horn, zither and bagpipes.” while
Hott plays drums and “the bit/.00-
ka." He added that the hazooka
“sounds great. But since (Holt) got
it MIDl'd up, we had to take anoth-
er guy on the road to take care of
the ammo. Also, it's dangerous be-
cause we‘ve already beheaded a
couple of people."

These instruments combine to
give House of Freaks what Harvey
calls a mixture of “Bulgarian blue-
grass. George Jones style country

and foot stomping Delta Blues.
Primarily Bulgarian bluegrass,
though."

Harvey, 33, said their personal
influences include “Bullwinkle car-
toons, Gettysburg, Jimmy Stewart
and Donna Reed, Audie Murphy in
addition to my dad who played uke-
lele and Johnny’s dad playing pedal
steel."

Now four recordings later ,__, two
albums and two EPs ~ on Rhino
records, House of Freaks finds it-
self touring frequently.

“Last year we played about 120
dates and the year before that about
150," Harvey said. “We wanted to
make a little money, a very little
m it keeps as healthy and honest.
Now we just want to slack off a
little. Stay at home and write and
relax. I would like to spend more

time writing and recording."

The group‘s travels have taken
them across both the US, and.
late last year, to Europe.

“We went to Europe last Thanks-
giving with Bob Mould and we
played about three weeks on our
own in England and Greece." Har-
vey said. “We played with (Mould)
in Germany, Scandinavta, Holland
-~ A the Netherlands. l think that that
is really the worst way to see lin-
rope. You see all of the aspects ol
Europe that are Americanized: you
go to all of the nightclubs there.
The people know more about
American rock ‘n' roll than I do.
All of the people that you meet
speak English and you don‘t really
meet anyone new or different It‘s
not glamorous."

The group is now making ll\

way into the glamwr ot Kentucky
lhcy will play at the \Vrocklagc
next week tot lll"lf tirst local per
tormance.

'Mule llousc- ol l rcaks may not
exactly be a household name yet.
