Senate resolution seeks
protection of gay rights

 

By Nicola Haumphraus
Staff Writer

 

The Student Government Associ-
ation Senate passed a resolution last
night declaring that sexual orienta-
tion should be added to UK‘s non-
discriminatory clause.

Senator at Large Misty Weaver,
who co-sponsored the resolution.
said passing the resolution in the
senate is the first step toward mak-
ing sexual orientation part of the
non-discriminatory policy. The next
step will be to take the resolution
before the Board of Trustees. she
said.

The clause currently reads that
the University will not discriminate
“on the basis of race, color. religion.
sex. marital status, beliefs, age. na-
tional origin or handicap.“ It does
not mention sexual orientation.

“Discrimination based on sexual
orientation is a problem in society.“
Weaver said. “The University is not
a place to promote discrimination; it
is a place where we come to learn
about other people and their ideas.“

She repeatedly told the senate that
it has nothing to lose by adding sex-
ual orientation to the policy.

“We are the voice of the students.
and the only thing people will lose
is the right to discriminate." she
said. “We will not be hurt by adding
these two words (to the clause)."

Haggin Hall
damage may
total $1,000

By Lance Williams
Staff Writer

 

 

The damage some UK students
inflicted upon liaggin Hall April 3
could approach $1,000, a Universi-
ty official said yesterday.

Allen Rieman. director of auxil-
iary services, said the cost to re-
place 62 broken ceiling tiles and
five damaged light fixtures in the
men's residence hall “ran substan-
tially over $500" and could reach
almost $1000 after all labor costs
are included.

Exact estimates will not be
known until early next week be-
cause all of the pay slips have not
been returned and. therefore, the to-
tal labor costs cannot be deter-
mined, he said.

The damage occurred shortly af-
ter UK's defeat by the Michigan
Wolverines in the NCAA semifi-
nals. At least three or four students
decided to take out their frustrations
on the B-3 floor of Haggin Hall by
ripping down the ceiling tiles and
lamps, said David Scott. Haggin
Hall director. A window also was
cracked on the 23rd floor of Bland-
ing Tower the same night.

Rieman said most of the repairs
have been finished in Haggin. but
the window in Blanding Tower still
has not been replaced. A new win-
dow is on special order and the cost
will not be known until the window
arrives.

Bob Clay. director of residence
life, said his office still is investi-
gating the incidents and is search-
ing for more suspects.

The suspects who were found to
be involved during initial investiga-
tions are being given a hearing to
determine whether they will be re-
sponsible for any of the costs.

“When the guilty parties are iden-
tified. then they are billed the total
freight," Clay said. “We feel com-
fortable with the (information) we
have."

Clay said the initial cost of the re-
pairs was billed to the Office of
Residence Life. He said those bills
will be given to the students who
are found to be responsible for the
damage.

In addition. Clay said the stu-
dents could face additional punish-
ment that could mge from “noth-
ing to dismissal from the residence
hall."

1092-93 season. Two of the male
comic characters, the wise cracking
Sir Toby Belch and his simple.
minded partner in mischief. Sir An-
drew Aguecheek. are being por-
trayed by female actors.

Glenna Hannery and Marie Ilen-
derson take on the challenge of por-
traying major male comedic roles.
’Ihis gender bending casting seems
appropriate in a year that brought us
the film sensation "The (‘rying
Game“ and RuPaul's club hit ”Su-

"My character (Sir Toby Belch)
is a fellow actually very dear to my

It's not really htud for me because
I've ‘so looked forward to doing
something like this because it‘s so
seldom that women get any kind ol~
comic roles in the Shakespeare can-
on," I‘lannery said.

Henderson, who portrays Sir An-
drew, enjoys the challenge as well.
yet reminds herself about some
hazards in the development of her
male character

“Trying to move like a man is
difficult and I know I don't look
anything like a mini. I have to be
very careful to keep my feet plzmt-
ed and act unladylike,“ Henderson
said.

Yet hiding the fact that the male
characters are being portrayed by
female actors is not of interest to
Henderson and l-lannery. who say
that modem audiences have no
problem accepting the cross-gender
concept. 'I'heir interests lie in the
development of interesting personi-
tications of the character's gender.

"It‘s such a challenge," Hender-
son said. "You'll sound phony if
you try to lower your voice. I don’t
think that :mybody expects to fool
the audience into believing that
these parts are being played by

and Sir Toby was as interesting as
the challenge of portrayuig cohorts
for the actresses.

“Glenna's funny and entertain-
ing, watching her be a man,“ Ilen—
derson said. “It's interesting to see
what she sees in men and then
watch her turn that on.

“Our characters are very different
and I've tried to be careful to not
make this character all the things
that I see and don‘t like in men.

“I can‘t make the character stupid
because he's a man —— he‘s stupid
because he‘s stupid. And because
he‘s drunk,“ Henderson said as she
laughed.

Henderson‘s and I‘lannery‘s char-
acters have a good excuse for drink-
ing. The production is set during
Mardi Gras.

By moving the production to
New Orleans and the present the
production hopes to stress the inter-
esting similarities between the two
worlds — and that there are far
more of them than differences.

“They‘re people just like us —
they liked and hated the same
things as we do,“ Henderson said.
“They liked to play pranks. And
when you play it in the Elizabethan
style, it tends to send the message
that they were different and they‘re
not. I think Shakespeare would
have approved. He’d love it.“

the best music show on the air.

Most of the other 166 hours per

as cutting—edge stuff in concerned,
but this is the show where MTV fi-
nally gets off its lazy, I-wish-I-was-

the goods. You‘ll find a lot of real

where you'll find gems like Gum-

relative obscurity because he

That makes perfect sense to me
because Gumball‘s sound combines
the cool attitude of Sonic Youth

like someone, these are two pretty
good bands to choose.

ters 'lheme Song," is boring and
overlong, and should have been left
off the album. Iind of story. livery-
thing else ranges from solid. if un-
spectacular (“Real Gone Deal."
“'I‘umbling") to really excellent
(“Accelerator," ”Black Payback"
and “Here It (‘otnes Again").

liven the slow stuff works out al-
right. lhc fast stuff is a lot better
because it gives Heming greater
freedom to dip into his extensive
bag of guitar tricks, but the two
down-tempo songs manage to hold
their own. Besides, it is sort of nice
to have a couple of breaks when
you can stop jumping around and
take a breath or two.

Not only does Gumball boast
Fleming's terrific chops, but it's
got a crack-shot rhythm section as
well. Bass player Iin'c Vennillion,
sadly, doesn‘t get tnuch time to
show off because Fleming‘s guitar
always steals the limelight, but he
nonetheless turns in a quietly bril-
liant perfonnance in support. Jay
Spiegel's galloping drums also are
top-notch.

Fleming and company tapped
Butch Vig to handle the production
chores, which was a smart move
because Vig is absolutely brilliant.
Instead of reducing the guitars to a
harsh, nails-on-the-blackboard
scrawl, he rounds them off beauti-
fully, giving them a warm, ambient
hum.

I‘ve got several other Vig-
produccd albums, and on each of
them the sound is sterling. He‘s the
first producer who, by name recog-
nition alone, could convince me to
buy an album. He’s that good.

With Gumball, we have a guy
who can write, sing and simply
light up his guitar, and two very
good musicians laying down
rhythm behind him. So how come
this band still trudges in the slimy
bog of indie obscurity? It doesn't
seem fair.

Don‘t let the fact that Gumball is
conspicuously absent from main-
stream radio playlists steer you
away from this worthy band.
You‘ll be missing out on a lot.

Provenza putting
edge back in comedy

 

 

 

 

 

 

By Becky Farmer
Contributing Critic

 

Winner of both a Pulitzer Prize
and a Tony Award, “The Heidi
Chronicles“ by Wendy Wasserstein,
is not just 3 mm of the mill play.
Unfortunately, Actors' Guild's pro-
duction of the play is run of the mill
and does not live up to the play's
acclaim.

The play highlights the life of
Heidi Holland, from a high school
dance in 1965 Chicago to her adop-
tion of a daughter in 1989.

Throughout the play, the seem—
ingly-vulnerable—yet-strong Heidi
always remains true to herself, al-
lowing herself to intelligently ob-
serve and question the role of wom-
en in her time.

The play‘s 1] scenes, separated
by two- or three-year spans, focus
on Heidi‘s development. Each
scene also offers both light-hearted
and serious conunentary on the
“baby boomer" generation that
shaped the times Heidi lived in.

Because of the numerous scene
changes, the set. designed by David
Tillman. is simple and versatile.
The stage, stark white except for
the gilded and empty picture frames
on the walls, leaves settings up to
audience members‘ imaginations.
The simplicity of the set and props
allow for smooth transitions be-
tween scenes.

The lighting and sound also are
simple and effective. Blackouts be-
tween scenes allow the black-clad
stagehands to set up for the next
scene. The slow transition from full
light to a lone spotlight on Heidi as
she gives an impassioned speech is
an excellent use of lighting.

During each scene change, a pop-
ular song is played from the year in
which the scene is set. The song se-
lections are keyed illto the mood of
the scenes. This technique obvious-
ly brought back some memories for
many audience members, as they
could be heard singing along.

(‘ostume designer Richard Porter
is able to portray the year of each
scene as well as the personality of
the characters with incredibly accu-
rate costuming. The short scene
transitions do not allow the actors
much time to change. but the well-
planned costumes allow the charac-
ters to quickly go from. for exam-
ple, an art historian giving a lecture
to a teeny bopper at a high school
dance.

It is the acting that makes ther

technically well-done production

into a mediocre olle. Debra A. Hen-
sley is not completely convincing

tas lead character Heidi Holland.
‘Though she plays the main charac~
tter, she often is overshadowed by;
the other actors.

Her facial expressions are exag-
gerated — as her voice is at times
— as if she is acting too hard.

Her performance does become
more natural as the play goes on,
and the character of Heidi became
more believable as she becomes
older. Hensley seems to ponray
Heidi best when doing monologues.
such as her powerful speech on
where women are headed.

Susan Johnston, played by Melis-
sa Rae White, Peter Patrone, played
by Patrick Lucas, and Scoop Rosen-

 

 

baurrl, played by Dale H. Kiefer —
all important figures throughout
Heidi's life —- are portrayed more
convincingly.

Of the three, Lucas' performance
as the homosexual pediatrician Pe-
ter is the standout. Lucas never
overplays his character‘s homosex-
uality. and his comic relief is well-

timed and carried out. L'A‘ Style

Jackson, Jenny (fox and Stephanie

and a dilly talk show host all in one

wildfire. it is no wonder that
such pop techno acts as l..A.
Style are enjoying a greater
runount of airplay zmd expo—
sure. You might recognize them
from last year‘s “James Brown
is Dead," which got some expo
sure on at ca radio stations.

The group‘s self-titled debut

“The Heidi Chronicles" is a won-
derfully written. light-heaned and
moving play. The Actors' (iuild
production is not at all a bad one.
and it is very entertaining. Howev-
er, it is not the outstanding produc-
tion that the play deserves.

“The Heidi Chronicles" is being
performed by the Actors' Guild of
Lexington, 139 W. Short St. The

 

LA. Style raves with funky hits in the same vein as their
debut, which had such hits as ‘James Brown is Dead.’

L.A. lacks style

PNOTO COURTESV 0F ARISTA RECORDS

album consists of 10 tracks that,
like “James Brown is Dead." are
dedicated to the rave scene

Tracks like “I‘m Raving."
"Jesus on Channel Four" and
“Balloony” (LA. Style‘s tribute
to nitrous oxide) deliver just the
right level of techno beats and
synthesized mind candy.

This might sound like a shin-
illg recommendation for LA.
Style. but there is one major
problem with the band's new al-
bum: It gets old really quick.

Unlike tracks from other up-
and-coming techno icons like
Lords of Acid and (‘hannel X.
l..A. Style displays little variety
among its cuts. After a while. all
of the songs start to melt togeth-
er. L.A. Style could easily pass
for (‘ & C Music lt‘actory's lat-
est backup act. but it has a little
less imagination.

 

 

play runs tonight through Saturday
at 8 erL, and Sunday at 2 pm. It
will continue April 22-24 and 25.
Tickets are $12 for adults and $8
for students and senior citizens. For

NliW YORK— People at (‘ome-
dy Central‘s “(‘omics ()nly“ love
good press. Sports columnist (iarry
Brown of the Springfield (Mass)
Union-News ventured that the half-
hour show lnight be the best thing
on television. and they held a trib»
ute to him.

liven audience members got into
the act, standing up and recounting
how Brown —- “a saint" — had
saved a child's life, healed a man‘s
back. and helped one than figure
out his own sexual orientation.

It was touching and. since it was
completely bogus, very funny

'lhen somebody dared to stand up
and diss the guy.

The audience members. incensed.
chased down the dissident and. in a
frantic, ugly lynching scene. actual-
ly strung him up backstage. leaving
him hanging.

The show‘s host. comedian-actor
Paul Proven/a. initially appeared
disconcerted and urged everyone
back to their seats, “You‘le done
what you set out to do, It got a
little out of hand." he said.

When asked what he would do
about the guy hanging backstage.
he said: “We got a girl who C0111L‘s
in, cleans up.“

The whole bit was over the top.
but it’s typical of the weird edgi-
ness the show‘s producers strive
for.

The show usually opens with Pro-
venza doing a ct monologue or a
sketch, but most of it consists of
standup comedians sitting down
with him. performing some of their
material and talking about their
lives.

Typically, two guests appear on
the show, whidl airs weeknights at
it: so. (Shows from previous seasons
air weekdays at 12:30 pm. and
Mondays through Thursdays at
l2:30a.m.)

l’rovenza said comedians like to
go on the show because they can do
some routines on cable that they
can't get away with on ‘La‘te
Night" or “Tonight."

“And I don't mean that it‘s vul-
gar or anything. it‘sjust really edgy
and it’s really opirionated," he said.
adding that it's an advantage of
cable that can be abused.

"Like l watch ‘Def Comedy Jam‘
and I sound like my father: ‘Oh.
something should be done about
that.’ 'lhen 1 realize there‘s some-
body watching our show going,
‘Oh, something should be done
about that.‘ And then I shut up."

“I think society has gotten edgier.
so you can see the humor we use to
reflect society has gotten edgier,"
said the show's Los Angeles-based
producer, Jerry Kramer.

“There‘s nothing that you can’t
joke about," said Provenza, who
also stars on NBC's “Empty Nest"
as Patrick. Carol’s new boyfriend.
“I do a lot of stuff that's edgy. 1
don‘t really care about taboos.“

Minn. coach’s firing

upheld by chief regent

MINNEAPOLIS —— The firing of
Minnesota women‘s gymnastics
coa :h Katalin Deli was upheld yes-
tert ay by Board of Regents (‘hair-
mat Elton Kuderer.

But Kuderer said Deli and her
husband. (iabor. an assistant gym-
nastics coach. weren‘t tired because
a videotape showing the couple
having sex was seen by the univer-
sity‘s gymnastics learns.

Kuderer called the tape the "trig-
gering mechanism" that compelled
women‘s athletic director (‘hris
Voelz to investigate the Delis'
coaching activities

He said Katalin Deli was dis~
missed after 1‘) years because she
violated NCAA rules. encouraged
students to lie and disregarded
Voelz's‘ direct orders.

“College athletics are supposed
to teach student~athletes to play by
the rules." Kuderer wrote in his de-
cision. “The conduct of Katalin
