DEERFIELD. lll. —- Michael
Jordan. basketball‘s greatest player.
announced yesterday that he was re-
tiring after nine seasons in the
NBA. saying he “had reached the
pinnacle of my career" and had
nothing else to prove.

In a news conference at the Chi-
(ago Bulls' training center. Jordan
said the murder of his father. James.
in July made him realize that “it can
be taken away from you at any
time."

“I guess the biggest gratification
—Iamaverypositiveperson—I
an get out of my father not being
here today is, that he saw my last
basbelall game. It is something that
we have talked about a lot." Jordan
said.

The startling announcement by
basketball’s greatest player leaves
the Chicago Bulls without their sev-
en-time scoring champion, the
NBA without its glitziest attraction.
and millions of fans without the
hero who redefined standards of ex-
cellence.

Jordan‘s departure at the top of
his game occurred during a year of
unprecedented success —— and per-
sonal tragedy.

He led his Chicago Bulls to a
third-straight NBA championship.
but also suffered the loss of his fa-
ther. who was shot and killed.

The 30-year-old superstar, whose
salary and endorsements bring him
more than $50 million a year. also
was dogged by reports of excessive
gambling.

But Jordan left open the possibili-

ty of returning to the game.

“Would I ever unretire? I don't
know. 1 think the word ‘retire'
means you can do whatever you
want. and maybe someday down
the road. that‘s what I'll desire to
do." he said.

Jordan had three years left on his
34 milllion-a-year contract.

Jordan‘s fame extended far be-
yond Chicago and the NBA. At last

year's Barcelona Olympics, he was
treated more like a potentate or rock
star.

In China. he is the most celebrat-
ed figure apart from Mao Tse-tung
— this in a country where basket-
ball is not even the most popular
sport

His departure follows the retire-

Senate measure allows
committees more power

 

By Lance Wllllams
News Editor

The Student Government Associ-
ation passed a bylaw amendment
last night that will give committees
in the SGA Senate the power to
amend bills before they reach the
Senate floor.

Before passage of the amend-
ment. committees could discuss
bills or amendments but had to wait
for a full Senate meeting before
they could make any changes to
proposed legislation.

Bylaw Amendment SSE-13 will
allow committees to make changes
to the original legislation by a 2/3
majority vote in the committees.
SSE-13 also states that the amend-
ed bill will pass to the Senate “with
the original bill attached."

Even though the bylaw amend-
ment passed through committee last
week with the recommendation that
it not be approved. debate on the
Senate floor last night swayed
enough senators for the measure to
be approved.

Debate on this bill started last
night even before it was brought on
the floor. During discussion of an-
other bylaw amendment about
proxy voting. College of Medicine
Senator Darby Cole said. “Right
now, committee meetings are a
joke" because they aren‘t allowed

to amend any bills.

Later in the discussion about
proxy voting. Senator at Large
Ryan Lykins brought up the issue of
committees.

“Committees will have more
power after tonight if (SSE-13)
passes." Lykins said.

When SSE-13 made it to the Sen-
ate fioor. Senator at Large Quinton
Dickerson made his case for the by-
law amendment

He said he agreed with Cole‘s
earlier statement about committees
and then laid down the guidelines
for committee power under the pro-
posal.

“First of all. committees are there
to be representatives of the full Sen-
ate. and they are also designed to be

Clinton rejects calls

WASHINGTON — Rejecting
calls for swift withdrawal of Anteri-

Clinton said, “We are anxious to

mine and chaos.

“It is essential that we conclude
our mission in Somalia but that we
do it with firmness and steadiness
of purpose." Clinton said.

The president held intense talks
with foreign policy advisers to re—
view his options. spurred by con-
gressional pressure and public hor-
ror over slain Americans being
dragged through the streets of Mog-
adishu by swporsers of willord
Mohamed Farah Aidid

Clinton mderscored his determi-
nation not just to prevent mass stu-
vation. the orig'mal purpose for
sending troops to Somalia Int De-
cember. but also to establish securi-
ty in what mently was a thorough-
ly lawless land.

12 Americans and the capture of at
least one US. pilot. Congress was
torn over which direction to take.

Senate leaders put off considera
tion of a defense spending bill to
spare the administration possible
embarrassment from amendments
demanding a pullout. Clinton said
he would meet with congressional
leaders and then announce his
course.

in a Senate speech. Dole remind-
ed colleagues of a resolution passed
two weeks ago asking Clinton to
state a clear policy on Somalia by
Oct 15 and calling for a congres-
sional vote on the deployment of
troops by Nov. 15.

With his slithering drives
through the lane. airborne slams
and radar 3-point shots —- always
with his tongue hanging out — Jor-
dan played the game like no other.

“In my mind. he's the greatest
player who ever played the game.
and the most special athlete I've
had the pleasure of watching," said
Tom Wilson. president of the De-

troit Pistons.

Clmles Barkley. the Phoenix
Suns MVP who played with Jordan
on the Dream Team at Barcelona
and against him in last season’s
NBA finals. said: “Michael Jordan
is the only person in this entire
world that I've ever met who is as
competitive as I am. That's why I’ll
miss playing against him."

Jordan‘s announcement comes
one day after a North Carolina pros-
ecutor said he will seek the death
penalty for the two l8-year-olds ac-
cused of killing James Jordan. who
was shot during a robbery July 23
as he napped in his luxury car along
a highway.

In recent years. Jordan admitted
losing large bets to a convicted
North Carolina drug dealer in 1991.
A book earlier this year accused
him of losing more than $1 million
in golf bets.

The same week the book came
out. Jordan gambled with his father
at an Atlantic City, NJ., casino the
night before a playoff game with
the New York Knicks.

The NBA said Jordan violated no
laws or rules. but Stern said last
month that Jordan‘s gambling is
“not a closed subject with us.“

Jordan began his NBA career in
1984 after being named college
player of the year at the University
of North Carolina in both 1983 and
'84.

NBA title in 1991. and the follow-
ing year the Bulls became only the
second NBA team in more than 20
years to win back-to-back champi-
onships. They won their third con-
secutive title last season.

Leaders

ask for
$2,750,
apology

By Lance Williams
News Editor

 

 

Two student group presi-
dents have sent a letter to the
state Democratic party asking
for a public apology and
$2,750 after the Rev. Jesse
Jackson decided to attend a
Democratic party function last
week instead of touring cam-
pus.

Student Government Asso-
ciation Lance Dowdy and Stu-
dent Activities Board Presi—
dent Wes Butler both
confirmed yesterday that they
had written a letter to Demo-
cratic Executive Chairman
Grady Stumbo asking for the
apology and the money. but
said they would not release
the letter to the public until
they are able to hold a press
conference on Monday to ex-
plain its details.

The two said they are upset
about the incident because
they had sent an itinerary to
Jackson. and he had agreed to
participate in several activities
before making a scheduled
speech at UK Wednesday
night.

Instead. Jackson said he
changed his mind at the last
minute and accepted an invita-
tion to speak at a Democratic
reception in Frankfort

Jackson flew in to~Lexing-
ton on Wednesday. held a
press conference during his 45
minute wait at the airport. and
then left for Frankfort. He re-
tumed to UK just minutes be-
fore he was scheduled to
speak at Memorial Coliseum.

Jim Amett, executive direc-
tor of Kentucky's Democmic
Party. wm familiar with the
contents of the letter and said
he wanted to clear any mis-
conceptions the two student
leaders might have about the
events that occurred Wednes-
day night.

“There is some mention of
things in the letter that are just
not true." Amett said.

Amett explained that the
gathering in Frankfort was a
“reception" for members of
the Century Club. and not a
fund-raising event. He said
the guests were invited and
were either former donors to
the Kentucky Democratic Par-
ty or people who had served
on the Democratic Party State
Central Committee.

"I'his reception was set up
months ahead of time — be
fore we knew Jackson was
coming.“ Amett said

“Secondly. I‘m sorry that
they He upset. but all we did
was extend the Rev. Jackson
an invitation.“ Amett said.
“Finally. they menuoned' the
governor's office. but his of-
fice had nothing to do with it

a while," he said.

Other students also expressed dif-
ficulties figuring out where to vote
because no signs were posted in the
library to designate the exact loca-
tion of the polling place.

Esteban Hecht. a freshman man-
agement student from Ecuador, said
he voted for a particular candidate
because he knew him.

Other students said they voted for
people they knew or whom they
had seen campaigning.

Pharmacy freshman Ricky Wal-
dron, a Kappa Alpha social fratemi-
ty pledge. said the ticket he voted
for campaigned to his pledge class.

“They impressed me during cam-
paigning." Waldron said.

“They were really the only ticket
to say anything."

Meadors said all the polls ran

“There shouldn't be any hard
feelings between us." Antett said.
“We want them to feel good about
us here in Frankfort."

Dowdy responded that even
though the information they re-
ceived about the event's being a
fund-raiser was incorrect, he still
thought the invitation was inappro-
priate.

“It was just a Democratic rah-rah
session." Dowdy said.

Dowdy also challenged Amett's
claim that the governor was not iri-
volved in bringing Jackson to
Frankfort.

“How could he not be involved
when it was held at his house? If it
was being held at the mansion. we
would assume he would know
something about it," Dowdy said.

Amett and Stumbo both will be
out of town for the rest of the week.
but Amett said he will make a deci-
sion on whether to respond when he
returns.

“1 want to get with (Dowdy and
Butler) and make sure they are sat-
isfied," Amett said.

However, he said the Democratic
Party does not owe any money to
UK for Jackson's decision to attend
the event

Dowdy and Butler arrived at the
amount of $2,750 by figuring the
travel. lodging and advertising costs
for Jackson's UK visit. an amount
they said should be paid in part by
the Democratic Party.

Without UK’s money. they said
Jackson would not have came to

“You can understand with all of

through." Boyd said.

“I saw where his father meant

his love for the game."

On the NBA‘s future. Boyd said.
“I think it's going to be a detriment
to the league. They've lost a per-
sonality and superstar that every-
body loves. who‘s on most every
commercial.

“Now he's going to be gone. and.
who's going to step up and take his
place?"

Man Leppert. a history sopho-
more. said while watching Jordan's
press conference: “I think he's a
human being first and should be
able to do what he wants.

“If you going to go, do it while
you’re a star."

Biology freshman Charles Coun-
ney agreed with Leppert.

“I was overcome by shock and
sadness but also joy because he re-
alized there's more to life than

Lexingtonians see turmoil in Moscow

 

By Scarlett Coneelvl
Staff Writer

 

Two Lexington residents who
were in Moscow during the unrest
last week say democracy may have
gone u in flames with the Russian
White ouse.

“As we left that night we felt a
sense of sadness." George Wilson
said. "What might have been a de-
mocracy was set far back. A lot
more burned than a building, and
many more lives are still to be
lost.’

Bus driver
Wins fans
with charm

By Robin Osgood
Contributing Writer

 

 

A caring. friendly person.

That is how evening bus passen-
gers describe Mike Munson. a driv—
er for UK's Campus Area Trans-
portation Service.

“Mike takes a lot of time with
passengers and makes sure we all

et to our cars at Commonwealth

tadium safely." said Margaret
Vanzandt. a Spanish graduate stu-
dent. “He doesn‘t just take us to the
stadium, (he) takes us right to our
car.
Munson said he enjoys treating
his passengers with respect.

“It‘s nice to treat anybody like
they are special" he said. adding:
"I come from the ‘Leave it to Bea-
ver' family."

Munson grew up in a large Cath-
olic family. with three brothers and
three sisters.

The pan-time UK undergraduate
and Louisville, Ky. native has
lived in Lexington since 1982, ex-
cept for a tour of duty with his Na-
tional Guard unit during the Persian
Gulf War.

Munson graduated from Trinity
High School in Louisville and
eame to UK to study political sci—
ence. After receiving his under-
graduate degree in 1987. he took a
job selling insurance.

“I didn‘t like selling insurance

terday.

At the time of the demonstration
in Moscow, the couple was in Rus-
sia visiting their daughter.

Natalie. a local lawyer. said she
had one main question in mind
when she heard of the uprising:
“What is going to happen to the
court system? Is the court going to
be an independent judiciary?"

She also wondered about the me-
dia She said published newspapers
often had “large white spots
throughout where articles had been
censored."

Natalie said she believed Russian
President Boris Yeltsin was influ-
enced strongly by Western govem-
ments. “When (US. Secretary of
State) Warren Christopher an-
nounced that he hoped the situation

would be resolved without blood-
shed, Yeltsin refrained from draw-
ing a had line with the parlia-
ment," she said.

She also said Yeltsin’s support-
ers considered this a mistake.

George said the first Sunday he
and his wife were in Russia. they
participated in a pro-Yeltsin march.

“The leaders of the march were
rallying the crowd saying. ‘We
have given a great deal of blood
sweat and tears to get this far. We
must still support our president,‘ "
he said.

He said they initially encoun-
tered nothing but “the friendly
smiles of people enjoying life."

Then George and his wife were
walking through a crowded street
when they encountered a line of

police fully equipped with shields
and guns. He said they also saw a
bus full of police equipment being
looted by demonstrators.

Both Wilsons stressed through-
out the presentation that Moscow
police did not threaten violence
andappearedtobeunderordersto
hold their fire.

George said a crowd already had
gathered by the time he and his
wife arrived. and they joined in to
watch.

The couple then saw several
young demonstrators with automat-
ic weapons riding in a truck and
waving a communist flag.

“At that point we decided to go
back to the hotel and watch it on
CNN“ he said.

This revelation took place at the
time Desert Storm was occurring.
Munson had gone to UK as a mem-
ber of Army ROTC and was serv-
ing as an officer in the Army Na-

Some waiting in long lines
at KFC nearly chicken out

Finger lickin' good was the con-
sensus of most students who tried
the University‘s new KFC, which
opened at Blazer Hall yesterday.

“I love it." said 8.]. Bellis. an un-
declared freshman.

“It‘s a change from Long John
Silver's. which is about the only
other good place to eat on campus."

Electrical engineering freshman
Bobby Combs. agreed: “I like it
that they are trying to add more va-
riety to the foods served on cam-
pus.“

Although most students at Blazer
seemed relieved to have a new
place to eat. some were not ecstatic.

“I can‘t stand it," accounting
sophomore Shawn Garrison said.

“The line was 30 minutes long
outside the door of Blazer X-press.

Even if you want to get a candy
bar, you have to wait for everyone

in the KFC line because the lines
are joined.“

Graduate student Tina Harris said
the chicken was tasty but far from
an ideal food.

“It's not real healthy,“ Harris
said of the skinless but deep-fried
chicken.

“Because I know it is skinless, it
makes me feel a little more at ease.
I don‘t feel like I‘m putting myself
at risk for a heart attack.“

Still. she said she would like “to
see some healthier places to eat on
campus."

Some students in the KFC line
found the prices a bit steep. A two-
prece chicken dinner is $3.37.
while a five-piece meal is $6.37.

“I think that the prices are ex-
tremely high.“ English junior Joe
Godby said

“They should at least give us
some type of discount because this

is a college eampus and they are
selling to students.“

Psychedelia,
nudity remain
in ‘Hair ’script

 

By Rebecca Farmer
Staff Writer

 

The Age of Aquarius. as depicted
in the musical “Hair.“ will be dawn-
ing at UK under the direction of as-
sociate theatre professor Russell
Henderson.

‘H‘air" first opened in l968. mak-
ing this year the 25th anniversary of
the show.

Though it is a quarter century
old. Henderson said the 60s rock
musical still holds impact for a ‘908
audience.

“l think it has more impact now
then it did 10 years ago." said lien-
derson. who hopes the audience
leaves the theater contemplating the
underlying messages that provide
the play's impact.

He said the main theme of the
play is that “one doesn‘t have to
participate in systems that one
hates.

“I think I want the audience to
find out that these (hippies) broke a
pattern of values and taught us
mostly to question authority and
question the system.

I think that has stayed with us."

At the same time. the director
said he wants the audience to think
about the consequences of this re-
volt by looking at the years that fol-
lowed the “Summer of Love."

These years often were catego-
rized as being plagued by selfish-
ness and substance abuse. Hender-
son said.

“l think that you find out that

Henderson also said he hopes

Though he‘s not an actor, John
Holloway plays an important
role in bringing a play to life
Holloway. an associate theatre
professor. designed the set and is
the technical director for UK‘s
production of “Hair" which
opens tonight.

“Design is more than just a
picture." Holloway said of his
role. “Design has to function and
support the wald of the play."

Holloway wanted to support
the world of “Hair" long before
be officially became set design-
er. mainly because of his fond-
ness for the musical.

“l just like this piece. I think
it's a really good show." he said
m he sat comfortably on the
Guignol Theater stage. surround-
ed by his psychedelic creation.

Holloway's positive opinion
oftheshowliesinthefactthat
he grew up during the ‘60s. and
in the message he said he be-
lieves the play conveys to the au-
dience.

“Wha this show is about is
people‘s concepts of personal
freedom and libertarianism and
being allowed to do whatever
youwntasiongasit'snothurt-
ing scam else." he said.

In keeping with the message
of the play. Holloway designed
his ta wih 'Ilapimlon from the
*provoattvc" work of ‘60: pay-

chedelic poster artist Peter Max.
“We're working on son of an
op-art theme here." he said.

The final product is his and his
alone. however. “It‘s out of my
brain and onto the stage." he
said.

Holloway said he hopes the
shocking day-glo colors. peace
signs and flowers will leave no
doubts in the minds of the audi-
ence as to when the play takes
place. He also said hopes to con-
vey the feel of the play's loca-
tion —— New York City —
through the set.

“My basic idea was to think of
it as a clearing in the city." he
said. The tribe of characters
meets in that clearing to act out
the production. Holloway said
the steelwork behind the clearing
will convey the feeling of a back
alley with fire escapes.

This jungle gym also supports
the action of the play. giving the
actors something to play on. The
characters remain in this setting
throughout the play. prompting
Holloway to create an unchang-
ing “unit set."

Because the set doesn‘t
change. lighting must convey
any changes in the play's tone.
As a result of their importance.
the lights form an integral part of
the set. actually framing the
stage.

“I really enjoy the creative in-
put of building these things and
coming up with the concepts and
idea."Hoiloway said.

 

 

“I think (the musical) says some
unexpected things about the 19605.
some things that we might not re-
member or perhaps sugar-coated."
he said.

Henderson will be staying true to
the original 1968 text of the musi-

 

cal. During its run on Broadway.
the script was updated to include
the names of current political fig-
ures.

Henderson said any attempt to
modernize the play now would “kill
it. absolutely kill it.

“I hope that we can present this
