\‘l'bile students and faculty took a break
from classes, UK staffers continued their
efforts to gain a seat on the UK Board of

UK’s Staff Association has been working

“\Vhile UKSA members had great success

Breakers IIOIII SBI‘VIBB IIII‘ SIIIIIBIII

By Ron Word

Armoured Prat:

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. —
A teen-ager was charged with
murder yesterday in the fatal
shooting of a Canadian student on
spring break, as hundreds of other
students flocked to a memorial
service for the victim.

Donald Shoup, 18, of Ormond
Beach, stopped a police officer in
his hometown early yesterday and
told him he was wanted in the
slaying of 19-year—old Mark Fyke,
of Belleview, Ontario, police said.

Shoup was being held without
bond in Daytona Beach. He lives
in a public housin complex about
10 miles away tom the crime
scene, police said. 'Police also

interviewed three teen-agers who
were with Shoup just before the
shooting. No other arrests were
made.

Fyke was shot once in the head
about Friday night while talking
to his mother from a pay phone
outside his beachside motel.

Yesterday, about 300 students
and local residents gathered under
a hot sun for a memorial service
sponsored by the Campus Cru-
sade for Christ, an international
college organization that was
holding its annual conference
here.

“We hope to bring some sense
to a senseless act,” said conference
coordinator Bob Londres.

Londres, who said he called
Fyke’s mother, Christine, to tell

her about the service, said she
asked him and others to “thank
God for her wonderful son and
the 18 years she had with him."

“She asked that we pray for her
family and pray for God to bring
an end to this senseless violence.”

Mark, the oldest of three chil—
dren. was an easy oing, gentle
teen-ager who love the Toronto
Blue Ja s and the Maple Leafs,
Mrs. Fykes said.

“He was really looking forward
to this trip. He paid for it himself
with the money he earned from
McDonald's,” she told Canadian
Press in an interview Saturday.

“He was a great son,” she
added, her voice breakin . “I just
think God only takes t e good
ones.”

Daytona Beach Mayor Bud
Asher said he was not aware of a
student being robbed or killed in
his 42 years in the area.

“We still like to think this is the
safest place in America,” he said.

Fyke was one of about 40 stu—
dents from Nicholson Catholic
high school in Ontario who went
to Daytona Beach for spring
break. His classmates boarded
their bus Saturday morning for
the trip home.

At the murder scene yesterday,
a worker was sweeping fresh sand
over the blood stains with a
broom.

No one answered the door of
the two-bedroom apartment
where neighbors said Shoup lived
with his father and older sister.

Bole urged
to reject
extremists

By Jim Abrams
Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The
VVhite House urged Sen. Bob
Dole yesterday to reject the
“extremism” of the Republican
right and work with President
Clinton to pass key legislation this
year. Republicans insisted that it is
Clinton who is responsible for
legislative gridlock.

White House Chief of Staff
Leon Panetta said Dole, the
Republican presidential front-
runner, “has got to make a funda—
mental decision."

“If he's serious about getting
things done then he’s got to make
a choice whether he’s going to
moderate his positions or contin-
ue to embrace extreme positions,"
Panetta said on CBS’ “Face the
Nation.”

\Vith the nomination nearly
locked up, Dole is expected to
devote more time to the business
of Congress. In the immediate
future, that means dealing with
the president‘s fiscal 1997 budget

 
 
 

 
 
 
 

 

 

 

proposal, which is to be
announced tomorrow, and ensur-
ing that there will not be another
partial government shutdown
when funding for the still uncom-
pleted 1996 budget runs out on
Friday. Also pendin is legislation
to raise the federal ebt ceiling by
the end of this month and prevent
a default on federal interest pay-
ments.

Despite Panetta’s appeal to
Dole to work with the administra-
tion, congressional leaders
appearing on the Sunday news
shows showed little optimism that
the gridlock that characterized the
1995 Congress would change in
this election year.

“There is nobody, absolutely
nobody, I have seen in this town
that has politicized the institution
he has been entrusted with by the
American people like this presi-
dent,” said Rep. Dick Armey on
NBC’s “ Meet the Press.”

As an indication of the little
regard shown by lawmakers
toward Clinton’s 1997 budget, no
one, Republican or Democrat,
mentioned it yesterday.

Clinton's plan, which calls for
$1.64 trillion spending in 1997
and includes $99 billion in tax cuts
and increased spending on the
environment and education, is
likely to be rejected out—of—hand
as Republicans be in putting
together their plans fdr spending
in the coming year.

LOS ANGELES —— Stardust

contains some of the same com-
pounds found in common air
pollutants, mothballs and
charred meat, according to a new
study.

In the first laboratory mea—
surements of stardust,
researchers found that stardust
molecules trapped inside mete—
orites contained polycyclic aro—
matic hydrocarbons, the same
class of carbon compounds pro-
duced by diesel exhaust, forest
fires and volcanic eruptions.

Among specific carbon
molecules that rode to Earth
inside meteorites were naphtha—
lene, the chemical in mothballs,
and pyrene, a cancer—causing
chemical found in charred meat,
the study found.

The joint study by researchers
at Stanford and Washington uni—
versities was scheduled to be pre—

ton.
Scientists long believed that
their telescopes were picking up
chemical signatures resembling
PAH compounds in the space
between stars. The latest results
confirmed those observations.

The stardust particles con—
tained isotopes — or slight
molecular variations — of car—
bon compounds in the Earth’s
atmosphere, the study found.

The particles were expelled
by stars and trapped in the mete—
orites some 4.5 billion years ago,
said Richard N. Zare, 3 Stanford
chemistry professor who led the
team that identified the stardust
components.

By analyzing the particles,
“you’re in some sense getting
your hands on a star,” he said.

Researchers at Washington
University, led by physics pro-
fessor Robert M. Walker,
extracted microscopic grains of
graphite from four meteorites.
Of 124 grains examined, 89, or
70 percent, showed appreciable
concentrations of PAHS, the sci«
entists said. The research was

funded by NASA.

Third Street Stult otters many products

By Danielle Dove
Stafl" Writer

A world of colorful charm and
absolute intrigue is what you
encounter when you venture into
Third St. Stuff, one of Lexing-
ton’s most diverse establishments.

Third St. Stuff is like wander—
ing into a child’s imagination.

With alarming multicolored
shelves and artwork floors that
really should not be walked on,
both the North and South Lime—
stone locations come to life.

Pat Gerhard, the president,
corporation owner and chief
artist, began the business seven
years ago. And just where does the
name come from?

“The first three years of busi—
ness was out of my house on
Third Street in Lexington. It just
seemed like it was appropriate to
kee the name, and I felt that it
con (1 mean a lot of different
things. It almost had an urban
sound to it.”

Well, the word different is
accurate when describing Third
St. Stuff. Almost everything sold
there is handmade. Gerhard and a
few artists create the colorful
wooden furniture and all the
painted objects in the back of both
stores, working at least 12 hours a
day, five days a week. Also includ-
ed is the production of clocks, pic’
ture frames, candleholders, post-
cards and even wooden cards. The

store carries a variety of incense
and candles.

Third St. Stuff ships its cus—
tom-made, ornate objects to over
600 stores across the nation.
Stores such as Jacobsons, Bacons,
Nordstroms and Jimmy Buffet
carry the color-splashed decorum
that Third St. produces, in
metropolitan areas including
Chicago, New York, Minneapolis,
and Santa Fe.

Artistic production and ship-
ment for the store runs year-
round, but the majority of the
business takes place around the
holidays. Through September to
December, the store ships out the
majority of its production to stock
eager businesses for the Christmas

season. Gerhard estimated that
halfof the year‘s business is taken
care of in that three—month span
oftime.

“I‘m excited about the store’s
future. We've always had a whole
sale catalogue, but we are working
on a retail catalogue and also
developing a homepage for the
Internet," Gerhard said. “\Ve
don’t have an address yet, but we
are working on getting everything
together."

So take the time to experience
both stores and enter a world of
artistic wonder and cheer. Visit
Third St. Stuff and appreciate the
extraordinary work that is artisti—
cally fascinating and unique to the
Lexington area.

Playing spades-
in the Big Easy

By Ty Halpin

.\ r‘nmr Sniff II vr‘flfi'

, NEW" ORLEANS __. In one of the greatest party
.lllt‘s in the world, ['K's players were relegated to
their hotel rooms for much of the heavy fanfare.

During the Southeastern Conference Tourna-

‘ ment, the \Vildcats were constantly
NOTEBOOK goingover scouting reports and game

films in their rooms. Down time was
killed by playing cards.

“\l'e played a lot of spades,“ said freshman guard
‘.\"ayne Turner. “There wasn’t much to do some—
times, but we got by."

After their championship game loss to Mississippi
state, the (lats were allowed to venture out.

“\Ve got to see Bourbon Street a little," Anthony
E' pps said. “\Ve didn't go crazy or anything." .
