Presidential candidates clash in final debate

By JULIE ESSELMAN
Staff Writer

The three student government as-
sociation presidential candidates
clashed last night over their differ-
ent plans for running SGA and their
respective qualifications just two
days before the two-day election.

Senators at Large James Rose
and David Botkins and Senior Vice
President Susan Bridges spoke in a
debate sponsored by the Inter~
fraternity Council and the Panhelle
nic Council before a standing-room
only audience in the Old Student
Center Theater.

A main theme in the debate was
the perception that most students do
not feel affected by SGA.

Rose said he wanted to ensure
that “each segment of campus will
be part of student government.“ He
said he plans to do this through a

board made up of all UK organiza-
tion presidents.

“SGA must lead the student
body," he said. The campus presi-
dential board would enable SGA ”to
encircle all groups on campus." he
said.

While Botkins and Bridges agreed
that this was a good idea. they both
also saw problems with it.

“Increased student involvement
goes beyond a campus presidential
board." Botkins said. “(The board)
tends to alienate bulks of students
on campus."

Bridges said the concept is an old
one, having already been adopted

with the Student Affairs Round
Table. a discussion group made up
of student leaders under the admin-
istration of Vice Chancellor for Stu-
dent Affairs James Kuder.

Botkins said he thought the best
way to represent students would be
by running SGA “like a business . . .
with a fiscally sound management“
He said that would return "accoun-
tability" to student government.

Botkins also said he would help
unify and involve students by cre—
ating a greek advisory board. made
up of delegates from each fraternity
and sorority and SGA. and a similar
“residence hall planning commis»
sion.“

Both of these ideas were attacked
by the other candidates.

“I guess I don‘t understand the
idea of running the government as a
business," Bridges said, “In a busi-

UK‘s fraternities and sororities
attended the caucus at Alpha
Gamma Delta sorority house.
Eight delegates were absent from

GPAC Co—Chairperson John
Christopher said he thought that
Rose's ability to "work with peo-
ple” enabled him to get the en—
dorsement.

Co-Chairperson Susan Sanger
agreed, saying that both Rose
and McCain showed that they
“don‘t get out to try and im-

toward their goals.

Christopher, however, stressed
that the primary purpose of
GPAC is to get more of the greek

“We're not going to actively

UK history professor,
foreign policy expert,
to give lecture tonight

By MATT STAIII.
Staff Writer

UK history professor George Her-
ring. an internationally known schol~
ar on United States foreign policy.
will speak tonight about the US. in-
volvement in Vietnam and other re-
lated foreign policy matters.

Herring will present the UK Col-

lege of Arts and Sciences Distin-
guished Professor of the Year lec-
ture at 8 pm. in the Singletary
Center for the Arts. His speech is
entitled. “Vietnam. American For-
eign Policy and the Uses of Histo-
ry."
Herring has devoted much time
and effort to this topic. He began
teaching courses at UK about the
Vietnam experience in 1973. “which
was pretty early.“ he said.

Today. interest among college-age
students is high and more than 200
courses about the Vietnam War are
being taught in universities across
the nation.

Recent movies. such as “Full
Metal Jacket“ and “Platoon." have
helped to keep the memories of Viet-
nam alive. “The fact that they have
appeared attracts enduring interest
in Vietnam," he said.

Herring also has written two
books about the subject, “The Secret
Diplomacy of the Vietnam War: The
Negotiating Voluma' of the Penta-
gon Papers" and “America's Long-

est War: The United States and
Vietnam. 1950-1975."

The latter work is considered one
of the most respected historical ac-
counts of the Vietnam War, said Mi-
chael Baer. dean of the College of
Arts and Sciences.

Herring also served as a consul-
tant to the Public Broadcasting Sys-
tem on its production. “Vietnam: A
Television History.“ Baer said.

Herring was selected as Distin-
guished Professor of the Year by the
Arts and Sciences faculty. The fac-
ulty chooses one professor each year
who meets the following criteria:
unusually effective teaching. out-
standing scholarship and service to
the college. They have been doing
this since 1944.

The award ”is the highest recogni-
tion that the College (of Arts and
Sciences) can bestow on one of its
members,“ Baer said

The annual lecture gives Arts and
Sciences an opportunity to present
scholarly work in a public forum.
Baer said.

Although it is natural to compare
the Vietnam experience to other for-
eign policy situations. Herring said.
they are actually very different.

He said the only likeness between
Honduras (the US. recently sent 3.-
200 troops to Honduras) and Viet-
nam was “that a sizeable number of
troops were sent into a tropical
country.

GEORGE HERRING

“Superficially there are similari-
ties.“ Herring said. “but internally
they are quite different.“

US. troops were sent to Hondruas
“as a show of force“ and soldiers
sent to Vietnam were more active.
beginning in the early 195th and es-
calating into the 196th, Herring said.

“The strongest parallel is the way
we‘ve responded, the way we‘ve de~
fined the problem," he said. citing
the struggle between communism
and the “free world.“

Reminders of Vietnam crop up
“almost anytime you have a debate
in Congress about aid to the con-
tras.“ he said. “If Vietnam hadn‘t
happened, we'd be more actively in-
volved in Central America

But Herring does not see commu-
nism as a major threat to democra-
cy. “On an international scale. com-
munism hasn't flmrished in recent
years."

About a month
ago. James Rose
finally decided to
enter the Student ‘°
Government Asso- .5 y ’
ciation presi- y
dential race, The J L
decision had not come easy ior the
finance senior from Shelbyville.

Rose. a two~term senator at large,
began contemplating a bid for the
SGA presidency in November. but
time contraints. the difficulty of
finding people to work in his cam-
paign and “the pure politics and pet-
tiness" made him decide against a
run for the office.

When Rose spoke out in favor of
the amendment that abolished the
role of executive vice president on
Feb. 10.. he even told members of
the Senate that he was not running
for president so they did not have to
worry about any political motiva-
tions he had for being in favor of the
amendment.

But shortly after Senator at Large
David Botkins and Senior Vice Pres-
ident Susan Bridges announced their
candidacies. several student leaders
— who were dissatisfied with the
choice of presidential candidates —~
approached Rose and persuaded
him to change his mind.

“I didn‘t realize that so many peo-
ple thought I needed to be in the
race.“ he said.

Oneofthoseleaderswhocameto

And he‘s not subtle about giving
this concept top priority. in his and
running mate Leah McCain's presi-
dential platform. the first plank is ti<
tled “Running SGA Like a Busi—
ness."

Botkins said that his busmess
plans for SGA meant “maximizing
the dollar that tSGA spendst .
getting the biggest bang for the
buck."

This plan has resulted from the
three years Senators at Large Bot-
kins and McCain each have spent in
SGA. he said.

Botkins has worked in SGA as as-
sistant director of governmental af-
fairs and held the position of senator
at large for one full term and one
partial term.

McCain worked with SGA for two
years before being elected to the po-
sition of senator at large last year.

Botkins and McCain explained
their “business" concept after an-
nouncing their presidential plans on
Feb. 23 at the Kappa Alpha Theta
sorority house.

Botkim stressed planning in this
venture and has since said that SGA
needs to be more “fiscally con-
scious."

And Bridges said that this student

platform offers little as tar as new,
flashy programs or committees in-

The platform itself is divided into
15 planks ,, ranging from a call to
consolidate student schices to es»
tablishing a nightclub in the Student

Bridges said her platform reflects
a concern for being responstve to
the single student instead of being
“pro-bureaucracy , "

The single student‘s concerns are
oftentimes lost in a tangle of com-
mittees and red tape. she said,
“Committees are a way to sweep

‘Masquerade’ mistakenly casts Lowe as star

By WESLEY MILLER
Senior Staff Critic

With just a few changes. "Mas-
querade“ could have been a success-
ful romantic thriller.

The film features a couple of ex-
cellent performances in the starring
roles. and is reasonably well-paced.
despite some occasional slow mo-
ments. Some of the situations are a
little unbelievable. but even these
shortcomings could have been toler-
ated if it weren't for the unforgiva»
ble error made by the filmmakers of
"Masquerade."

That error was the casting of Rob
Lowe as the leading man.

It is extremely difficult, nay im-
possible, to think of any performer
who has successfully mixed over~
whelming popularity with

underwhelming acting ability like
Lowe. In films ranging from “Ox-
ford Blues" to “St. Elmo‘s Fire.“
Lowe has proven his inability to con-
vey anything but the most wooden
and uninspired performances.

It is his work as free-spirited,
brash sailor Tim Whalen that is the
major contributor to the downfall of
"Masquerade." This is a shame. be—
cause his ineptitude overshadows su~
perb efforts by Meg Tilly and Doug
Savant in the other leading roles.

Some might confuse “softhearted” with “softheaded” just be-
cause they are listed near each other in the dictionary. Big
mistake! Oh, sure, some softhearied people may seem soft-
headed (lack of judgment, realism or firmness) but not trained
professional social workers. Want to talk about "realism" with
social workers who see the hungry, the homeless. the
abused. the disturbed and the disabled every day? You want
firmness? Listen to a social worker intercede for a client, can
front an official or bureaucrat. or testify against a slumlord or
molester! Sure, social workers are “easily moved, tender, and
merciful” — it takes a lot of heart and lots of brains to be an ef-

Injuries add to Kentucky’s woes

By TOM SPALDING
Staff Writer

The Kentucky baseball team, after
taking two of three from Alabama
last weekend, is getting back in gear
in its chase of an NCAA Tournament
bid.

But for a while, the machine will
be running without two important
cogs -— All-American outfielder
Chris Estep and All-Southeastern
Conference starting pitcher Matt Co-
leman.

Estep, a junior outfielder, tore his
right forearm open last Tuesday
chasing a deep fly ball by a Mar-
shall player.

He snared a possible home run but
in the process smashed into the five-
foot high chain-link fence on Mar-
shall‘s field.

“My momentum carried me into
the fence," he said. “I kind of spun
around (on the fence) like a heli-
copter propeller.

“When I came back in my whole
body came over and my right arm
got caught on one of the spikes.“

Coleman, a sophomore hurler,

fractured the bone 'in his middle fin-
ger on his pitching hand in a contest
against Oklahoma State two weeks
ago.

The Cowboy batter lined Cole-
man’s pitch right back at him.

“It was a fastball inside,” Cole-
man said. “! jammed him. He hit it
hard, lguess, right back at me."

According to UK baseball coach
Keith Madison, Estep might see ac—
tion tommorow when the Wildcats
take on Eastern Kentucky.

“We’re shooting for that,” Estep
said.“I really want to play.”

Estep said that he would definitely
be back for this weekend‘s SEC se-
ries at Tennessee.

As for Coleman, the news is not as
good. He’ll be out for about four
more weeks.

The early indication was that Co-
leman would be lost for the season.
Madison said it will be a wait—and-
seething.

“I’d say it's doubtful (that he'll re-
turn)," Madison said. “Even if he
came back in four weeks it would
still take about three weeks for him
to get in shape}:

In four games this season, Cole-
man had a 3.32 ERA and a record of
2-1.

“Matt was one of our top two
pitchers,” Madison said.

His finest moment perhaps came
in the same game he was injured.
Against the No. l-ranked Cowboys
(who were averaging double figures
in runs scored), Coleman worked 5
1/3 innings, allowing just four hits.

“That may help me, I don’t
know," he said. “I had pretty good
confidence going in to that game. I
was in a groove. (When I come
back) I just have to pick up where I
left off."

Estep, on the other hand, was
continuing his assault on UK‘s all-
time home run record (41). He
slugged six of them, leading the
team, while batting .269.

But statistics only tell half the
story.

“Anytime you lose two quality
players like that it hurts,“ said UK
second baseman Roger Gum.

“They’re definitely two great play-
ers.
“It seems like we haven’t had too

But it might get better. UK is just
11‘“.
But with Estep back 111 the line-up
this week and a generous schedule
(after a six-game road trip UK will

play 12 of its next H at home) things
could improve.

"We've still got a chance to make
it (to the Nt‘AAi,” Coleman said.
"It just depends on how well we do.
We‘ve got a big shot because it's
real early in the season."

Alcohol on campus
much too important
to ignore anymore

There’s an old saying that you just can’t stop people
who know they‘re right and just keep coming.

The UK community‘s fight for legal alcohol use on its
campus is a lot like this.

The UK Drug and Alcohol Advisory Council Friday en-
dorsed a campuswide policy that would let students over 21
drink in the residence hall rooms of fellow 21—year-olds.
This is the second time in just over a year that a commit-
tee of students. professors and administrators came to this
Conclusion.

The first one was created in December 1986. Its report
in February suggested several additions to the University‘s
plans toward drug and alcohol education. These were ac-
cepted and some have since been implemented.

But a sixth recommendation ~ allowing students over
21 to drink on campus —- was sent back for more study by
Art Gallaher. chancellor for the Lexington campus. Gallah—
er wanted the committee to discuss how greek chapter
houses and other campus locations fit into the policy. He
also wanted a more indepth look into the enforcement and
legal implications of the policy. In short. the committee‘s
charge was to develop a workable University alcohol poli-
cv.

They did that. (‘ommittee members discussed the philo-
sophical role of the University, the moral evils of alcohol.
the liability of permitted and hidden alcohol use. alcohol's
effect on dorm atmospheres. problems for HA‘s and dou-
ble-standards involved in allowing partial alcohol use.

At least some members were diametrically opposite on
all of these issues. They argued from the perspective of
students. administrators. professors. resident advisers and
B( )’1‘ members.

And when they were finished. it was obvious that the
UK community has decided (for the second time) that the
best policy is a “permissive" one tso-called because it per-
mits legal alcohol use on campus ).

Committee members worked hard and took their duties
seriously. They anticipated every problem with such a poli-
cy. and in doing so pre-empted many questions that are
sure to be raised later on. We urge Chancellor Gallaher to
pass the policy on to the trustees. If he rejects the propo-
sal. we will judge his decision on its merits. If' it‘s a valid
decision. we can live with it.

But what we can't live with is the proposal sitting on his
desk for several months.

Last semester. the UK administration demonstrated a
remarkable ability to take quick. strong action when it de-
cided that the threat of AIDS and other sexually trans-
mitted diseases was too scary to ignore. UK decided in a
week's time to put condoms on campus.

We think the threat of alcohol misuse and abuse is just
as scary. We think it’s high time the administration ad-
dressed this problem by dealing with student alcohol use in
an open manner. Pretending alcohol isn‘t in the dorms will
do nothing but drive the issue underground.

Alcohol use has been an issue for almost two years now.
The glamor and publicity of students fighting for drinking
rights has died down and melded into a good. hard look at
causes and effects.

Immediately is the best time for the t'K administration
to recognize this and act.

dates for SGA who have supported
the efforts of Socially ('oncerned
Students with respect to student
wages.

As many of you may recall. SCS
informed the University community
earlier this semester that the aver-
age wage of the 4.600 student em-
ployees at (K had fallen considerab-
ly and continues to fall — relative
to tuition and inflation. SCS has uti-
li/.ed a two-tiered strategy to ad-
dress this problem: to focus atten-
tion on the problem through
research and the press; our ongoing
effort to win approval. by the SGA
Senate. of a resolution that calls for
state funding for the fairer and
more decent student wages.

The candidates in our list are
those we worked with who supported
SCS endeavors for fairer student
wages We are providing you this
list in order to make you aware of
the candidates who supported the
students on this issue.

The candidates we worked with
who support fairer wages for stu—
dent employees are:

Lohman,
Fowler,
Campbell,
Peavler

While serving my tenure as a sen-
ator at large. I became aware of the
duties and resposibilties this office
encompassed. I believe that these
important qualities of dependability.
organization and genuine concern
for the improvement of student fa—
cilities is best exemplified by the
ticket of Penny Peavler. Sean Loh-
man. Rick Campbell and Kim Fowl-
er.

While all are hard workers. they
are aware and quick to inform of
their intentions of elected. If elected.
I feel certain their energy will moti-
vate the senate to new highs.

and Campbell as “new blood“ and

I feel they are more than qualified
for this position. They are already
working on several major issues:
student lottery. student credit union.
improved on-campus check—cashing
and the UK credit card tVisa or

I know these will be carried out in
the coming year.
