“What we want is a world-class
library,” said Student Government
Association Vice President Sarah
Coursey, co-chair of the committee.

The Student Library Endowment
Committee is responsible for raising
funds from students. It met for the
first time Friday, mostly organizing
and working out some of the initial
problems. Coursey said.

At the meeting, committee mem-
bers also discussed the logistics of
their plans for recognizing book do-
nors, Coursey said. In addition to
the bookplates, members discussed
ideas for recognition.

By helping out the library, stu-
dents could make a name — and a
nameplate -— for themselves.

“Pulsating Chinese Hearts!"

These words shout from a poster
for the Ju Percussion Group whose
pcrfortnance here Sunday night
made a few American hearts pound
too.

The Ju Percussion Group (JPG)
of Taipei performed a free concert
at Otis A. Singletary Center for the
Arts on a one-night-stop from their
North American tour. The group,
composed of 15 men and women,
uses western percussion instru-
ments with Chinese wind instru-
ments to create a melodic, but in-
tense concert.

With exceptional direction by
Mr. Ju Tzong-Ching, lPG interpret-
ed scvcn pieces.

Some of which were strong and
pounding such as the Taiwan abo-
riginal folk song named “Moun-
tain's Beat.“

Arranged by JPG, “Mountain’s
Beat" covered many symphonic
whole tones from the xylophone
while offering a frantic rhythmic
pounding of drums, set off by a
light sprinkling of bells.

The piece was quick but smooth.
and vcry well received by thc audi-
c‘ll'L'L‘.

But the versatility of this group
was proved by their renditions of
several slow picccs also.

“Swallow," a Chinese Hsin-
Chiang folk song, was one of the
more mellow songs. A lovely xylo-
phone trio, it showed the variety of
this highly skilled group by its
smooth, delicate and flowing
themes. The three musicians per-
forming on this piece moved to‘

ration.

Shooters
fire with
mental
discipline

By GREG JUHL
Contributing Writer

Don't be startled if you hear
shots fired one day when walking
by the Buell Armory this winter.

The popping of those guns,
though alarming, is harmless. The
only execution taking place in the
Amory is that of proper. accurate
shooting by UK's shooting team —
at targets, mind you, not ROTC
members gone bad.

The shooting team, a varsity
squad that goes relatively unno-
ticed on UK’s campus, is back for
another season, led by junior Brian
Vance.

This year’s squad -— though
small in numbers — is expected to
be a contender for a national learn
championship in March.

“One more good hitter and we
are there,” said Vance, who quali-
fied as one of only 40 for the na-
tional championships last season.

That hitter could be back as early
its December — one of the team
members is on a geology sabbatical
this semester.

What sets the shooting team
apart from most others on campus
is that it gets no athletic scholar-
ships. Thus, the team must rely on
other means to support their shoot-
ing. One shooter, checkbook emp—
ty, had to leave the team early this
season to get a job.

Most of the members on the
team try to win academic scholar-
ships. The grade point average on
this year's squad is projected well
above a 3.0.

Coach Harry Mullins stresses
mental discipline in his shooters »—
on and off the range.

“If they master that, they will be
able to use it in other areas also,"
Mullins said. “This years team has
the best attitude of any teams in re-
cent years. Ijust try and relax them
and get the team at ease"

Vance echoed his coach’s re-
marks.

“It’s a mind game," Vance said.
“People have lost Olympics be-
cause of the sun."

Recruitment of top shooters is
the toughest challenge that Mullins
faces each year. Without scholar-
ships to offer his potential recruits.
Mullins said he must work twice as
hard to get them.

“The one thing I have going is
that UK is a major university,“
Mullins said. “But I don’t have
anything to bait the hook with."

Despite his obvious disadvan-
tage, Mullins said recruitment
looks promising — as well as ex-
pansive. The coach has received
letters of interest this season from
as far away as Paraguay and Cana-
(13.

Once he gets a recmit, Mullins
begins the long process of “mold-
ing them to be champions," and
that can take years.

“If I have to start fresh with
them, it could take between two to
three years." he said.

Mullins has spent much of this
season “molding“ his freshest
bunch of young shooters. With
only two juniors and the rest being
sophomores and freshman, Mullins
said his team can only grow better
in the coming years.

made the NCAA team last season,

is expected to lead the UK team,

 

“The one thing I have going is that UK is a major
university. But I don’t have anything to bait the hook

with."

Harry Mullins, UK coach

 

The team competes mostly on
weekends from October through
March. During the first three week-
ends in November, UK will host an
invitation tournament.

Teams from all over the East
Coast, like Ohio State, Texas A&M
and DePaul will travel here to com-
pete.

“The UKlT gives our team a
chance to see 70 percent of the top
15 schools in the country," Mullins
said. “It gives them a feel of where
they stand and how much they need
to improve before the bulk of the
season hits in the spring. The tour—
nament allows the beginning shoot-
ers to learn from more advanced
shooters. It is sort of a clinic for the
beginners."

The average competition takes
roughly six hours to shoot. There
are two different areas of shooting:
small bore and air rifle. The gun
weighs, on average. 18 pounds.

There are also two shooting posi-
tions: standing and prone (lying flat
on ground).

Vols overpower UK in SEC

By TIM WIESENHAHN
Staff Writer

Despite placing two runners
among the top 10 finishers, the UK
men's cross country team could not
overpower the
Tennessee Vol-
unteers yesterday
in the 53rd annu-
al Southeastern
Conference
Cross Country
Championships
in Gainesville,

Fla.

Led by senior
Todd William's KA'SER
victory in the men's race, the Vols
cruised to their 25th men‘s SEC
team title.

Williams, who is a two-time All-
American, blazed the 8,000-meter
course in 24 minutes and six sec-
ends.

The Cats, who were led by sens
iors James B. Kaiser. placing fifth
(24:32) and Charlie Kern, placing
ninth (24:47), finished runner—up to
UT, handing the Vols their second
consecutive SEC team title.

 

I‘m not ecstatic," Kaiser said of
the Cats‘ five-point loss to the Vols.
“1 don't think this will hurt us. Now
we have some idea of what it takes
to be a good team."

Kaiser said although the Cats
were disappointed by the match,
they are still hopeful of realizing
their goal — a trip to the NCAA
Championships on Nov. 19.

“I don't think it was our best
race," Kaiser said.

“A lot of the guys, including my-
self, expected to do better. We’re
lucky that it doesn‘t spell the end of
our season. Hopefully this will revi-
talize us.“

Finishing behind Kaiser and Kern
for UK were freshman Glenn Frank~
lin in 11m (24:58), senior Bob
Whalen in 13th (25:04), sophomore
Eddie Melia in 19th (25:27), sopho-
more Neil Crouse in 22nd (25:35),
senior Alan Thomas in 27th (25:54i
and sophomore George Yiannelis in
67th (28:35).

Kaiser said the difference in the
men’s race proved to a break initiat—
ed by Tennessee's Todd Williams
and LSU's Terry Thorton.

“We failed to recognize the

surge," Kaiser said. “It's unfortu-
nate that we couldn't bring them
in."

Williams and Thorton raced on to
repeated their one-two finish of

Universities
should be open
to all opinions

Jello Biafra’s burning of the American flag during a speech
Wednesday night was appalling and highly offensive to many
people. It also was protected by the US. Constitution.

Biafra’s speech at UK was part of his three-week, 15-college
tour “No Censorship/Spoken Word Tour.” During his speech
to about 850 people at Memorial Hall, Biafra ignited an Ameri-
can flag — which he glibly called a “Yankee swastika” — that

had been thrown on the stage.

Two members from the audience rushed out to save Old Glo-
ry. which prompted jeers of “Skinheads” and “Rednecks” from

the partisan audience.

The incident may lead to renewed calls from the Lexington
and University communities for a constitutional amendment
outlawing flag burning. As difficult as it may be for some peo-
ple, they must realize that a constitutional amendment outlaw-
ing flag burning will not protect the American flag.

Protecting the American flag is important, but it is even more
important to protect people’s freedom ofexpression, which the
American flag supposedly represents.

Respect for the American flag must come from within. A
government that forces its citizens to respect it and its symbols
can no longer claim to be a government of the people, by the
people and for the people: it has become a government more
like Josef Stalin’s Soviet Union than Thomas Jefferson’s

America.

For reasons unknown to us, Biafra’s actions prompted the
University administration to rally around the flag by assuring
the media that in no way does UK condone burning the Ameri—
can flag. One administrator even said that the burning objects
without a permit violates University regulations.

Perhaps the University administration felt some public pres-
sure to denounce Biafra’s actions, but it was too bad that they
felt obligated to say that the University does not condone all
forms of speech and expression — no matter how out of the
mainstream they may appear to some people.

A University or college, above all else, must be a place
where all ideas and opinions can have a hearing. Whether it is
a member of the Ku Klux Klan talking about white supremacy
or an anarchist advocating that students not register for the
draft, all ideas, no matter how wacky, deserve to be heard.

Only in a place where there is a free flowing of ideas and
opinions can we come to know the truth, and the University is

the best place for that to happen.

Developing strong test-taking skills

Dear Counselor: My big goal in
‘ life is to be happy —- but it‘s not
turning out that way. I'm not seriA
ously depressed —~ everything is al-
ways just “so-so.“

I like my classes, get along With
my parents and hang out \th good
friends (although I admit they spend
a lot of time doing boring stuff like
watching TV all night).

Really, I’d like to have an excit-
ing, happy life, but I don‘t think it's
going to happen. Lately, I spend a
lot of time drinking about it — and
the more I think, the more important
it gets.

Am I weird to worry or will itjust
happen some day? Sincerely. Eddie
in Education.

Dear Eddie: You‘re not weird.
Happiness is so important that re-
searchers have spent years trying to
discover why some people are hap-
pier with their lives than others.
They've come up with two main
findings:

- happiness is a sense of well-
being — that means that it can be
different for everyone;

- wishing for happiness won‘t
make it so -— that means that it
won't just happen —— but planning
to do more things that give you
pleasure will.

If you want to work on being hap-
