50, 000 free paperbacks available
at three-day Student Center event

 

By Lance Williams
News Editor

Hundreds of students climbed
over and under tables in the Student
Center Grand Ballroom yesterday,
blissfully rumaging through hap-
hazard piles of paperbacks and lay-
ing claim to as many free books as
they could cart off.

Yesterday was the first day of a
book giveaway sponsored and the
Christian Appalachian Project and
coordinated by UK Student Gov-
emment Association.

Doors opened at 10 am. and al-
though crowds were sparse at first,
the room was packed with people
for much of the the afternoon.

The first day of the three-day.
50,000-book giveaway had been set
aside for students, but as the word
of free books spread across cam-
pus, faculty and staff soon began
crowding onto the book-strewn
floors of the ballroom.

Jeff Worley, associate editor of a
journal published by the depart-
ment for Communications and Ad-
vancement, described the mood as
“ebulient.”

He said it was as good a collec-
tive spirit as he had seen since at—
tending a rock concert 25 years
ago. “It's just that here they are do-
ing it without artificial stimulants,"
he said.

Marian Moore Sims. a UK Board
of Trustees member and teacher at
Morton Middle School, arrived at
the giveaway late in the afternoon
and described the event as “a big
mmmage sale."

“(UK) is a seat for leaming and
these people have a thirst for infor-
mation," said Sims, who was hold-
ing a handful of books on manners.
“I don‘t see a negative from it. Any-
thing extra we can do for students. I
love it."

Barry Stumbo, assistant director
of student activities for Student Ac-
tivities Board, said students were
euphoric about the book giveaway.

“There seems to be a feeling of
disbelief that those books are actu-
ally free," he said.

SGA President Lance Dowdy
said he could give no specific esti-
mates about the number of people
at the event, but said he expected
the number to be much more than
1,000.

“It shows that students don‘t just
sit around and play Nintendo and
watch TV," Dowdy said. He added
that this is a reminder “that we need
to keep costs low.

“I feel fortunate that we were
able to work with Terry Harmon
and the Christian Appalachian Pro-
ject to make this happen.“

Kentucky ’s education ‘lighthouse’

Boysen: KERA must deliver

 

By Stephen D. Trlmble
Assistant News Editor

 

Kentucky‘s $3 billion public ed-
ucation system demands not just
mediocre results from the 1990
Kentucky Education Reform Act.
but dramatic increases in student
learning, Kentucky education com-
missioner Thomas Boysen said last
night.

“The issue is the right to succeed
in school," Boysen said of the edu-
cation reform he is responsible for
implementing statewide.

A focus of KERA is to bring
equal opportunity for education to
children in both the cities and
smaller communities. Boysen said
during his speech at UK's Memori-

al Hall.
“We're at the beginning of the
second revolu-
tion in educa-
tion," he said.
The first revo-
lution, Boysen
said, started in
the 18303 as a
result of Massa-
chusetts voters
asking their state
government to
provide educa-
tion for all chil-

d“- BOYSEN

This was a
bold view at the
time, Boysen said.

Also, because the quality of the

Program offers
overnight stays

 

By Alan Aja
Staff Writer

 

College life can be a big ad-
justment — especially for those
straight out of high school.

But a program called UK
Overnight helps ease that culture
shock while giving prospective
students an idea of what it's like
to attend UK.

“We want high school recruits
to come and experience what
UK has to offer. It has been an
effective program and we hope
to get more high school seniors
to participate in it," said Rob
Mathews, an admissions counse-
lor at UK.

This is the fourth year of the
program, which is sponsored by
the Office of Admissions and the
Student (iovemment Associa-
tion.

Four sessions are offered dur-
ing the spring semester. bringing
45 to 50 high school students
from across the state and the na-
tion to UK's campus.

The visitors arrive on a Sun-
day and are treated to free pizza
and drinks as they meet their stu-
dent hosts and settle into their
temporary residence hall homes.

“I love the dorm life." said
Christina Desuiter, a prospective
student from Grand Island High
School in Grand island, N.Y.,
during her recent visit “Every-

one knows everyone and seems
to have a fun time together.“

On Monday, the guests attend
various planned activities. UK
Food Services gives the students
a meal card worth $8 so they
can experience on-campus
meals. The parking office also
gives them a temporary parking
permit for use during their stay.

During this time, the students
attend classes. take campus
tours and meet with academic
advisers. Some of the students,
like Tina Broaddus, a senior
from Madison Central High
School in Richmond, Ky., even
reach a decision about attending
UK.

“1 received a good impression
of the attitude of campus." she
said. “i think I would like to at-
tend UK next year."

The success of the program
has helped it grow over the
years, Mathews said.

“Around 65 percent of the stu-
dents who attended the program
enrolled at UK the next fall,"
Mathews noted. “I am very
pleased with the outcomes."

Graves County High School
senior Laura Elam said she also
was pleased with the program.

“Seeing what the classes are
like and staying in the dorms
lets a student feel true college
life while still in high school."
she said. “I think it‘s great."

Woman fights ordinance
banning signs in homes

 

By Jim Salter
Associated Press

 

LADUE. Mo. —— At the height of
the Persian Gulf War, Margaret Gil-
leo taped a notebook-size piece of
paper to her bedroom window: “For
Peace in the Gulf."

To her. it was a simple war
protest. For Ladue. a St Louis sub-
urb with tree-lined streets and state-
ly brick mansions. it was a blatant
violation of a sign ban.

By that time, Gilleo already had
sued the town once. after she re-
poned an anti-war lawn sign was
stolen and police told her the sign
was illegal anyway.

A federal judge ruled the law vio-
lattxl the First Amendment, but La-
due tightened it and recast it as a

matter of “aesthetics. safety and
property values."

After she was forced to take
down the window sign. Gilleo chal-
lenged the revised law. The city
lost again and appealed. This time.
the matter has reached the US. Su-
preme Court, where arguments are
scheduled for tomorrow.

The core issue is whether a city
can prohibit signs on private prop-
erty. But attorneys for both sides
say much more is at stake.

“It would have disastrous ramifi-
cations for free speech principles if
we were to lose this case,“ said Gil-
leo's attomey, Gerald Grimen.

Jordan B. Cherrick. who repre-
sents Ladue. puts it this way: “Peo-

tecting the landscape and nature

Political signs are illegal in la-
due. So are garage sale signs. signs
seeking lost pets, bake sale and
school picnic signs, happy birthday
and welcome home baby signs.

Among the handful of signs that
are allowed on residential property
are real estate “for sale" signs and
signs warning of burglar alarms.

linton: N ATO threat helpful

 

By Ron Fournier
Associated Press

 

WASHINGTON — Scizing a
limited foreign policy success yes-
terday. President Clinton said
NATO‘s air strike threat bought
breathing room in Bosnia, allowing
for an intensified United Nations
effort to negotiate peace.

“The challenge for all who have
been touched by the fighting in
Bosnia is to build on this week‘s
progress and create a lasting and
workable peace for all the people
of Bosnia," Clinton said at a hastily
called news conference at the
White House briefing room.

The NATO ultimatum opened
the Bosnian Serbs to air strikes if
they did not withdraw their anil-
lery from the hills of Sarajevo or
turn them over to United Nations
troops. The UN. verified compli-
ance at all but a handful of sites
and reported that the Serbs cooper—
ated fully.

“As a result, air strikes have not
yet been necessary," Clinton said.

The president warned the Serbs
not to backslide. “Any shelling of
Sarajevo or the appearance of
heavy weapons in the exclusion
zone will bring a certain and swift
response from the UN. and
NATO." Clinton said.

The US. is “very concerned that
the Serbs may be moving their ar-
tillery from the Sarajevo hills to
other battlegrounds," Clinton said
at a six-minute news conference.
He said the allies “are doing all we
can to discourage it," and said pre-
vious NATO resolutions give the

Clinton promised renewed U.S.
efforts to help “reinvigorate the
peace process.

“A workable. enforceable solu-
tion, acceptable to all parties is the
only way to ensure a lasting solu-
tion for Sarajevo and for all of Bos-
nia." Clinton said.

The president said he and his for-
eign policy team have discussed
the idea of extending the NATO ul-
timatum to other pans of Bosnia.
Suggesting that US. allies have
scuttled Clinton’s tough-on-Serbs
plans in the past. the president said
NATO must be careful not to draw
the line elsewhere if “it is not fully
capable of performing.“

Clinton said Russia should be a
partner in any diplomatic efforts.

Perry said the prime objective “is
to secure the gain we’ve already
made" before “seriously consider-
ing“ extending ultimatums to other
areas of Bosnia. “Those options are
certainly weeks away; they‘re not
days away,“ he said.

Meanwhile. Secretary of State

the commission and the NCAA
over plans to tighten student-athlete
eligibility standards, the availability
of scholarships and advancement
opportunities for blacks.

Three weeks ago, the BCA
threatened to boycott basketball
games to draw attention to its con-
cerns, but called it off when the
Justice Department offered to medi-
ate talks with the BCA, the NCAA
and the Presidents Commission.

One of the BCA’s biggest con-
cerns is the NCAA's plan to tough-
en student-athlete eligibility
standards in 1995.

The current standard for incom-
ing athletes is a score of 700 on the
Scholastic Aptitude Test, or 17 on
the American College Test, and a
2.0 grade-point-average in a core
curriculum.

The NCAA Convention has ap-
proved legislation that would
change the standard to an indexed
scale beginning in August 1995.
Athletes who have a 2.5 GPA
would be required to have a 700 on
the SAT or 17 on the ACT. Those
with a 2.0 GPA would be required
to have a 900 on the SAT, or a 21
on the ACT.

'Ihat. coupled with two wins in
the Southeastern Conference Tour-
nament next month (they won't
beat Arkansas in Memphis, the
Hogs'll be bigger than Elvis down
there), would give them 26 wins,
six losses, a No. 2 NCAA seed and
chance to do something special.

A few things have to happen first.
Ford has to shoot like he did against
Vanderbilt, but he can‘t dribble the
way he did (six tumovers). Riddick
has to stop his occasional disap-
pearing act (zero points against a
small Vanderbilt team). Walter
McCarty has to continue his im-
proved play.

  

Rodrick Rhodes has to stay in
control. Somebody has to teach
these guys how to shoot free
throws. (Shouldn't that be part of
Kyle Macy‘s contract as radio ana-
lyst?)

And the Cats have to pray that
North Carolina, the one team with ,_ .
the size and depth to demolish '
them, doesn't end up in their re-
gion.

If all those things happen, watch
out. Don't forget, this team has
done the seemingly impossible be-
fore.

“Reality Bites"

Starring Winona Ryder and
Ethan Hawke

Universal Pictures

 

By Nina Davidson
Arts Editor

 

“Reality Bites" succinctly cap-
tures the flavor of discontent among
college students today. With a tal-
ented cast and a
sharply funny I
script, the Ben
Stiller film illus-
trates the restless-
ness of Generation
X.

Ielaina Pierce
(Winona Ryder) is
an aspiring film-
maker who sets out
to capture the lives
of her friends as
they struggle to find life after col-
lege. She works as an intern at a lo-
cal TV station. but her creative out—
let is her trusty camcorder.

Tbe people she films include her
roommate. Vickie (Janeane Garofa-
lo) and her friends Troy (Ethan

 

\

Hawke) and Sammy (Steve 7ahn).
Leilana meets a producer. Micheal
(Stiller) who offers to use her film
for the local M'l V-clone station.

Leilana must choose between
compromising her artistic principles
for commercialization or remaining
poor but true to her vision. Leilana
must also choose between the affec-
tions of the steady Micheal or the
unstable yet charming Troy.

Ryder turns in her usual luminous
performance as Leilana. She man-
ages to convey a mixture of deter—
mination and vulnerability without
resorting to doe-eyed pouting.

Taking a break from her serious
dramatic roles in “The Age of Inno-
cence" and “Dracula." she returns
to the genre of teen romance that
made her famous.

Hawke also takes a break from
his usual earnest roles in “Dead
Poet's Society“ and “White Fang"
to portray an obnoxious grunge
drifter. Hawke manages to make his
character likable despite his insta-
bility.

The script. written by Helen Chil—
dress. is fresh and original. The dia-
logue sounds true-to-life and un-
forced.

However, the references to ‘70s
trivia are overdone. After the 10th
casual remark about “The Partridge

highlight on “Spin the Bottle." An ode to the teenage
kissing game. Hatfield imbues her soft voice with a
touch of adolescent humor. “Spin it around again/Spin
it around again," she sings sweetly.

In a voice eager with anticipation, she croons, “He is
going to kiss me/If he doesn‘t miss me/Five minutes in
the closet with you."
