Soviet coup attempt felt worldwide

UK professor witnesses
power struggle firsthand

By GRAHAM SHELBY
Senior Staff Writer

UK professor Zara Dashtamirova found out about last week's Soviet coup when she
emerged from a Moscow subway station and saw tanks parked in the streets.

“Most people stood there gaping at the tanks and asking each other questions. (There
were) children running and going to the tanks and climbing on tanks.

“It was a shock really. and I never thought I would live to a day like that."

Dashtamirova. a UK Soviet English professor. was invited by the Department of Russian
and Eastern studies to serve as a consultant on campus this year.

In the living room of her temporary home on Linden Walk, Dashtamirova described the
coup that she had witnessed in her homeland just a few days earlier.

She arrived in Moscow from her home Alma-Ala in the Soviet Republic of Kazakhstan
to catch a plane to the United States.

“1 arrived in Moscow late at night on the eve of this coup. I went to bed about 3 am. and
nothing (unusual) was heard everything was normal.”

The next morning she went to the Soviet ministry of education to arrange her flight On
her way there she didn‘t notice anything unusual at the time.

“I saw people were somewhat more excited but this is in retrospect. 1 never analyzed
it then.” Dashtamirova said.

After the takeover. only state-run media outlets were allowed to continue. The junta shut
down all independent newspapers but protesters printed fliers and leaflets and urged Soviet
citi7ens to listen to pirate broadcasts on a short-wave radio channel known as the Moscow
Echo.

“Despite the fact that everything was banned. information continued to spread,” she said.

She held up the Aug. 22 issue of Pravda. the official Soviet newspaper. and translated the
headline for a Visnor. “Russia saves the Soviet Union."

Dashtamirova said the Soviets didn’t perceive Gennadi Yaneyev, Gorbachev‘s hand-

picked vice president, as an adequate leader.

“He was never popular — he was never thought to be somebody.”
Yaneyev showed visible signs of strain during his brief tenure as president, Dashtamiro-
va recalled. She especially remembers how Yaneyev hands trembled during a televised

press conference.

“His voice was very calm outward and he tried to keep calm but he couldn‘t control the
trembling of the hands.” Dashtamirova said. "Now and then he would press them to the ta-
ble. That was something, the contrast with the way he spoke and his hands."

Dashtamirova left Moscow just as the Coup was overturned and said that coming to Ken-
tucky at this time in the her country‘s history was extremely difficult

"If I could help, I would rather stay for a while in the Soviet Union. At the moment when

I was leaving the country I went to pieces. .

these things with my people.“

.. I wanted to be home and live through

With the winds of change howling through the USSR. Dashtamirova said she's “not
very comfortable about the future." With sovereignty claims inundating Moscow from
throughout the Soviet Union. she said the situation requires more patience and caution than
anxious nationalists in the republics and even Russian Federation President Boris Yeltsin

will devote.

“You can't change the country overnight It takes time. We can't be very much radical

like Yeltsin is sometimes.”

Dashtamirova gave Yeltsin credit as “a very good opponent and critic," but said the
country has not seen what kind of independent action he will take as a national leader.

“We have not seen what kind of a doer he is.” Dashtamirova said.

According to her. the Soviet people give Mikhail Gorbachev the credit he deserves for
the reforms he's initiated within the government and economy.

Court blocks insurance mandate

By DALE GREER
Managing Editor

A campaign by student leaders to block
the mandatory student health insurance law
med momentum Thursday when a Frank-
lin Circuit Court judge issued a statewide
restraining order delaying the law‘s imple-
mentation.

Two students. Julie Pincombe of Ashland
Community College and Michael L. Kessler
II of the University of Louisville. filed suit
against the state Aug. 5. claiming that the
law is unconstitutional because it requires
college students to carry health insurance
while not mandating the same coverage on
other groups.

Judge Joyce Albro granted the two stu—
dents an injunction against having to pur-
chase health insurance while the case is be-
ing litigated.

On Thursday. the lawsuit was granted
class-action status when Albro extended the
injunction to all college students in Ken-
tacky.

“We had a bite of the apple last week.
Now we have the whole apple.” said David
Holton, one of three attorneys for the stu-
dents. after Albro's action.

UK Student Government Association
President Scott Crosbie said Monday that he
is pleased with the ruling. but he said stu-
dent body leaders will continue to lobby for
the law's repeal in the General Assembly.

One way or another. Crosbie said that
“this law will be overturned."

The health law. which was to take effect
Sept. 1. requires all full-time college stu-
dents in Kentucky to carry health insurance
that pays for at least 14 days in the hospital

Gorbachev
gives threat
of resignation

By ANN IMSE
Associated Press

MOSCOW —— Mikhail S. Gorbachev
threatened yesterday to resign unless some
form of Soviet unity is preserved. But even
as he spoke, a seventh republic spun off
from the center and celebrated its indepen-
dence.

The Soviet president, who only a week
ago was a prisoner of the hard-line coup
plotters who briefly toppled him, made a
forceful and impassioned plea to the nation-
al legislature to maintain the country’s co-
hesion or risk disaster.

Raising his voice at times to be heard
over the clamor. Gorbachev said the Soviet
Union stood “on the point of collapsing”
and warned. “lf it does, it would be a catas-
trophe.”

Although he staked his polii' al future on
some form of union, the Sc set president
left open the prospect of some new and
looser confederation. acknowledging that
the face of the nation had already changed
irrevocably.

“The republics want to have a new set of
institutions where they will have a presence.
and this is something I fully ur terstand," he
said. “But we have to be respi . .ible. not be
totally emotional about this. letting passion
prevail over reason."

Gorbachev emphasized the need for a
common defense and continued economic
ties. In line with that. he agreed earlier yes-
terday to begin negotiations on an economic
cooperation agreement that would be ac’
ceptable to all 15 republics. even those in-
tent on independence.

in the ninth dav of an extraordinary up
heaval that has seen Gorbachev ~ ouster and

tion of the once-mighty I "‘r'iunist Party.

and 50 percent of related doctors' fees. The
law also covers part-time students who take
at least 75 percent of a full course load.

The Board of Student Body Presidents
has been fighting the law for nearly a year
and is paying all court costs involved in the
litigation.

Although the three attorneys —— Holton.
Scott Cobum and Ed Yancey — are donat-
ing their services. Crosbie said the board
has already spent about $1,500 in court
fees.

The next step in the court battle will be to
notify Kentucky college students of the
pending class-action suit. Crosbie said stu-
dent government associations probably will
place legal notices in college newspapers
throughout the state.

“Hopefully. we can get them done as a
public service announcement." Crosbie
said. “Paying for ads would be tremendous-
ly expensive."

Beginning Sept. 15. Cobum. Holton and
Yancey will have 30 days to present their
arguments to Flanking Circuit Court The
state Department of Insurance and the At-
torney General's office will then have 30
days to present their side of the case. and
the three attorneys will have 15 days to re-
spond. Crosbie said.

David Holton,
Louisville attorney

“After that. the official court date could
be six months down the road or it could be
two weeks.“ he said.

Meanwhile. the Board of Student Body
Presidents is continuing its pressure to get
the law repealed in the state legislature. ei-
ther during a Spt‘Clai SCSSIOR this year or

 

during the General Assembly's regular ses-
sion in January.

Crosbie said it was “hard for me to even
guess" if Gov. Wallace Wilkinson would
call a special session this year. but a mem-
ber of Wilkinson‘s Executive Cabinet told
Crosbie the governor would “consider very
highly" placing the issue on the agenda if a
special session were called.

Rep. Ernesto Scorsone has called for re-
peal of the health mandate in a bill he has
pre-filed for the January session of the Gen-
eral Assembly.

But Scorsone. D-Lexington. said the bill
could be introduced in a special session this
year if the Governor choses to call one and
elects to place the issue on the legislature‘s
agenda.

Wilkinson said last week it is doubtful
that he will call for a special session. but he

KSU president criticized for appointments

Associated Press

FRANKFURT, Ky. —— Former
Gov. Edward T. Breathitt had a dire
pediction for Kentucky State Uni-
versity as he abruptly resigned from
its governing board last week.

KSU President John Wolfe Jr. has
failed to unify his divided faculty
and students, Breathiu said Friday.
If it cannot be pulled together, “this
university is in danger of self-
destructing." he said.

Since that meeting Wolfe has

tried to unify the factions of the uni-
versity, asking the three trustees
who resigned to return to the Board
of RegenB.

But the controversy has failed to
subside. with students and the state
NAACP accusing the KSU board
chairman. former Gov. louie B.
Nunn of racism.

The state NAACP wants Nunn to
step down as chairman of the board
of regents, but Nunn said he had no
such intention.

state's National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People.
said the organization voted at its
Saturday meeting to demand Nunn's
immediate resignation.

“We thought that he is divisive,"
Cofield said. "The board acts as a
committee of one. And the one
seems to be the chair. No one else
talks.”

The NAACP meeting was sup-
posed to be in Owensboro, Ky., but
was moved to Frankfm because of
the KSU controversy.

Nunn, whose term is over at the
end of the year. said he had no quar-
rel with the NAACP. “I‘m not con-
cerned about what they think as
long as I commit no racial act,” he
said. "This is not a racial matter.
This is a matter between a college
board and a president.”

Nunn, who is white. has been in a
dispute with Wolfe, who is black.

The dispute came to a climax Fri-
day when three regents resigned

rather than support Wolfe's recom-
mended appointment tr reappoint-
ment of top-level administrators.
Wolfe said Saturday that he was
contacting the three regents — Al-
lan Lansing, Breathitt and Barbara
Curry — to ask them to retum to
the board.

Nunn said Monday he did not
know whether the three regents
who resigned would reconsider
their resignations.

Wolfe was pointedly criticized
for failing. after 14 months in of-
fice, to make peace with a disgrun-
tled faculty and to take steps to fill
numerous faculty vacancies.

The regents also criticized
Wolfe‘s choice of subordinates and
refused to confirm his hiring slate
— usually a formality.

Nunn and Wolfe argued at length
about Wolfe's performance in his
14 months as president. Nunn ques-
tioned whether Wolfe had done
enough to fill several faculty vacan-

He also criticized Wolfe for hiring

But Nunn was the center of a hos-
tile audience’s attention.

The meeting was interrupted at
one point by Kesha Stone. president
of the school's student government
association, who insisted on reading
aloud a statement attacking Nunn.

"The scenario you are forcing
upon us is (that) you are the master
and we are the slaves," said Stone,
of Chicago. “We will not allow you

Wolfe. in a two-minute address to
students and faculty Monday, said
the university was operating as usu-

“I expect that all business will
be conducted in the same high-
level manner that it has been con-
ducted in the past," Wolfe said.

“I regret the actions of the board

board over the weekend, to come

black college before court—ordered
integration. Blacks still make up the
majority of full-time undergradu-
ates, although total enrollment ——
2,200, including part-time students
— is mostly white.

There has been a rift in the facul-
ty, including charges that some
white teachers resent working under
black administrators.

Breathitt said the statement de-
manding Nunn's resignation was “a
very unfair attack that ill-serves this
university." Curry. who like Brea-
thitt and Lansing served with Nunn
on the board of Morehead State
University, also disputed the racism
charge.

Richard Taylor, a white professor
who is the faculty's representative
on the board. said Nunn had been
“selflessly dedicated" to the univer-
sity.

Nunn denied charges that he or
any other regent was racist But he
said the university was plagued by
“people who agitate and promote
and cause racism.“

Wolfe said in a published report
last week that Nunn was pressuring
him to dump three top aides —
Charles Lambert, vice president for
university relations; MacArthur
Darby, acting director of institution-
al accreditation, and Reginald
Thomas, the university's attorney.

The annual reappointment of
those three, plus approval of
Wolfe's hiring of three new vice
presidents, was on the board’s agen-
da Friday. But Lansing, an intema-
tionally known heart surgeon, said
he could not approve the appoint-
ments and would instead resign.

taming disclosed that the regents
urged Wolfe in a closed—door meet-
ing last month to reconsider some
of his appointments, but Wolfe
chose not to. Lansing refused to di-
vulge names.

Wolfe said he regretted the resig-
nations but was not surprised. He
also said board members had never
explained their opposition to his
staff choices.

Don Anthony Woods. a black
professor, was among several in the
audience who charged that the
board opposed Wolfe’s four vice
presidents because all were black.

Nunn, after a private meeting
with Wilkinson at the Capitol, told
reporters Wolfe had surrounded
himself with self-serving people
who were giving him bad advice.

Students new to any university of-
ten find themselves in need of a
helping hand. but often they don’t
know where to go.

For any problem -— big or small
—— students can make a trip to UK's
Counseling and Testing Center. lo-
cated in Frazee Hall.

The center is prepared to help stu-
dents with common poblems like
homesickness, lack of a specific
field of interest and ineffective
study habits and also more serious
problems. including depression and
eating disorders.

Mike Nichols, director of the cen-
ter and staff psychologist, said he is
very proud of the staff, which con-
sists of licensed psychologists and
counselors who are experienced in
dealing with college students.

“Wehavemes '

m
of individuals here." Nichols said.

"They care about students and they
care about the University of Ken-
lucky."

All visits to the center are volun-
tary and strictly confidential. and
both individual and group counsel-
ing sessions are available. he said.

A certified chemical dependency
counselor is available to help stu-
dents cope with their alcohol and

lems of someone close to them.

Alcoholics. Grief Groups for Recent
or Past bosses. Building Intimate

UK's Student Government Asso-
ciation is one of the most influential
groups on campus. Aspiring politi-
cians, as well as students who just
want to improve the University,
spend hours each day in the SGA
office.

One of the fust ways to get in-
volved in student government is by
joining the Freshman Representa-
tive Council. During the first few
days students are on campus. fresh-
men can sign up in the SGA office,
120 Student Center. for FRC inter-
views.

SGA looks to FRC for fresh ideas
because the freshmen haven’t been
exposed to what’s already going on
in student government.

After a few weeks of classes have
passed and new students have had
time to adjust to campus, SGA
holds freshman semtor elections.
There are four freshman senata po-
sitions in the student government
senate.

Elections for the other senators —
one representing each college.15
senators at large and two senators
from Lexington Community Col-
lege — are held in the spring. 80,
while those positions already have
been filled for this year, freshmen
canruninthespringtoholdthepo—
sitions the following academic year.

The SGA presidential/vice presi-
dential election also is held in the

bySGA

spring. Any student on UK's main
campus or at LCC can enter the
race. Applications for the SGA ex-
ecutive branch also are taken in the
spring.

But it's not only a question of
what you can do in SGA. it’s also a
question of what SGA can do for
you. Student government offers
many services to the entire campus
because that is why SGA exists —
to serve students.

SGA publishes a directory of
campus phone numbers. listing stu-
dents, faculty and organizations. It
offers a student escort service, so
students don't have to walk around
campus by themselves at night.

It publishes teacher evaluations.
an aid to students trying to select
classes for the next semester.

it offers free tutoring, legal ser-
vice and tax help. SGA prints stu-
dent discount cards. which can be
used at local businesses.

The SGA Senate. which meets
every other Wednesday. is one
place registered campus organiza-
tions can go to get funding for pro-
jects.

These are only a few of SGA’s
services and some of the ways stu-
dents can get involved. For more in-
formation. visit the office or call
(606) 257-3191. SGA President
Scott Crosbie and Vice President
Keith Sparks will tell you all you
need to know about becoming ac-
tive in student government.

UK’s Student Activities Board is
offering students a chance to get in-
volved early in the semester.

SAB is the programming board
for most of the special events in-
volving students and faculty. it is in
charge of Homecoming 1992 activi-
ties. the Little Kentucky Derby. and
is responsible for bringing quality
performers. speakers and movies to
campus.

Student Center Night is an oppor-
tunity for new students to get ac-
quainted with SAB.

“If you are looking for fun. here it
is," said Andrea Shaw. SAB secre-
tary/treasurer. “We always have
room for new members. so check
out our committees."

Student Center Night is Sunday.
Aug. 25 from 8 to 11:30 pm. Fresh-
men and other new students will
have a chance to meet people and
learn about the variety of organiza-
tiom. offered at the University. Food
and drinks will be served

Activities planned include enter-
tainment by comedian Jordan Bia-
dy. a caricature artist and a video
button booth. where your picture
can be taken and put into a button.
if a “Cheeseburger in Paradise" is
more your style. you will enjoy Ray
Boston's Beach Party. Boston sings
Jimmy Bufi‘ett tunes and other sum-
mertime favorites.

Casino-style games offer a
chancetobeattheoddsforfun.
”Reptile World" will showcase ex-
otic snakes and other slithering arti-

mals

Several different student organi-
zations will set up booths Aug. 27-
29 from 11 am. to 2 pm. in the
Free Speech Area of the Student
Center to give new students infor-
mation about their groups.

“We hope to get more diverse
groups on campus interested in get-
ting involved,” said K.C. Watts,
SAB presidenL“We‘re open to any
kind of programming for the Uni-
versity."

One activity SAB is planning for
the fall include Parents' Weekend,
which begins Sept. 27.

Pep rallies. including Yell Like
Hell and Wildcat Roar. will take
place during homecoming festivities
and are planned by SAB.

Amanda Gibbons. SAB vice pres-
ident, said the group is committed
to “promoting current issues and
how they relate to the University.”

She said SAB encouraged cultu-
ral diversity during last school year
by promoting such speakers as Dr.
Kwarne Toure. civil rights activist.
and Chai Ling. student leader of the
Tiananmen Square protests.

Gibbons also said she wants SAB
to address environmental concerns
this year.

Freshmen are encouraged to join
SAB activities. The SAB office is
located in 204 Student Center.
across from the Sweet Shop. Also.
there is is bulletin board near the of-
fice showing all SAB meeting
times.

For more infomiation. call (606)
257-8867.

Nichols said there are three types
of counseling offered at the center
— persmal. study skills and voca-
tional.

Personal counseling can help stu-
dertts deal with emotional problems
stemming from depression. a failed
relationship or a troublesome family
situation.

The center also offers study skills
counseling. Students' strengths and
weaknesses are pinpointed, which
helps students with severe study
skills problems and students who
simply want to do better.

Vocational counseling can help
students pick an area of concentra-
tion or a major through various pro-
grams offered. Clinical tests are giv-
en to students to clarify where their
interests and goals lie and often
point students in the direction of a
main they had not previously con-
sidered. Nichols said. Reading, per-

sorul interea surveys and personali-
ty tests also are given.

The Counseling lid Testing Cen-
ter also locally administers vrious
national scholastic tests. including
the Graduate Record Exam. the
Law School Admission Test and the
National Teacher's Exam.

The center’s Learning Skills Pro-
gram offers several sections ofa12-
hour. non-credit course called the
Master Student Program, which
costs $25.

The course. which teaches stu-
dents about the most effective strat-
egies to achieve academic success.
“focuses exclusively on studying
and learning and motivation," Nich-
ols said.

“On the average. people improve
their grades by .7 in the semester
they’re taking.” he said. “There's an
