John Harper “missed out" get-
ting a college degree. If he is
elected governor, however, he
said he will see that anyone who
wants a college degree will get
one.

“This institution is guaranteed
in the Harper adminstration."
Harper told about 75 people in 206
Student Center. “We will contin-
ue the amount of funding and
hopefully more if the financial
situation improves. "

The Bullitt County state rep-
resentative said if people are bet-
ter educated. they will be able to
have better jobs. Consequently,
he said, the state's overall econ-
omy will improve.

 

Harper says
he’s closing in
on Wilkinson

 

 

With less than four weeks to go
until the Nov. 3 general election,
Harper said he is gaining ground
on his opponent. Democrat Wal-
lace Wilkinson.

According to Harper, a poll
commissioned by the Republican
National Committee and con—
ducted by American Viewpoint
revealed that people have “huge
negative responses to Wilkinson. "

Harper said 502 Kentucky vot-
ers were polled.

UK‘s College of Law received a
$160,000 state-of-the-art computer

the nation to have a computerized
law office.

Wang Laboratories gave $85,000 in
computer hardware and software

the) most technological innovation
known in the modern world. Every
couple of years, the information
available to students doubles

this (computer) allows the retrieval
of information and management
tools.“

The computer is a Wang V865
which will enable students to have a
unique legal education and gain ex-
perience using modern tools.

“Five years ago. I don't think we
had a single piece of computing
equipment in the law school. With
this gift, we'made great strides to-
ward using computers in the educa-

Students returning to campus
this fall were greeted — some
may say confronted -— with a
number of changes in the way
they get meals.

The work done in the Student
Center and Blazer Hall this surn-
mer are the latest, and most ob-
vious, examples of Food Serv-
ice's new plans for feeding
students on campus.

The most controversial change
occurred in Blazer Hall. There
the cafeteria was abolished and
the Blazer Trail grill turned into
an a la carte restaurant, the
Courtyard Restaurant. The for—
mer cafeteria area was turned
into Blazer Exchange. a conve-
nient grocery store.

The Exchange also contains the
Pizza Company North and sells
delisandwiches.

Initially, the Blazer change met
with strong criticism from some
North Campus residents. They
didn‘t feel the restaurant and
store were adequate compensa-
tion for a cafeteria.

Robert Braun, director of Food
Services. said that while he ex-
pected some dissatisfaction with
the moves, he “didn't expect the
vehemence“ of the negative re-
sponse. He said despite all the
talk and planning with student
committees last year. he knew
there would be some people dis-
placed and he is “not happy
about that“ nor about the fact
that North Campm students must
now walk to Donovan Hall for
cafeteria service.

thing from batteries to MGM's.

 

“I‘m afraid that's where we‘re
headed in food service.“ he said.

Despite the initial protest,
more students are frequenting
the new Blazer set up than they
did the cafeteria. From Sept. 5-

we‘ve ever gotten," he said.
“This is an idea whose time has

U.S. helicopters sink 3
Iranian patrol boats

By NORMAN III.:\(‘I\'
Associated Press

WASHINGTON l'S. helicopter
gunships sank three Iranian patrol
boats in the Persian Gulf yesterday
after an American observation heli-
coptcr was fired upon without provo-
cation. the Pentagon said.

It was the second American mili-
tary engagement in the region since
the Ilnited States attacked an Irani.
an ship laying mines on Sept. 21.
and the first to involve a direct at—
tack on U.S. forces by Iran.

Officials said no Americans were
hurt in the confrontation.

At least six Iranian crewmen sur-
vived the assault and were picked
up from the gulf‘s waters by a U.S.
patrol boat, said Pentagon spokes
man Fred Hoffman.

Two of the six later died. and an
other was said to have serious inju-
ries. Hoffman added that a search
for other survivors was continuing.

President Reagan was informed of
the incident by Lt. Gen. (‘olin L.
Powell of the National Security
Council staff. Powell went to the
Oval Office at 3:30 pm. EDT to
brief Reagan. said presidential spo—
kesman Marlin Fitzwater. He said
the president would be updated on
developments as warranted.

“It appears it was an isolated inci-
dent," Fitzwater said. "We did not
provoke the incident in any way,

Our helicopters acted in selt’viletciisc
because they were f ircd upon. "

He said the administration would
review the incident in terms of the
War Powers Act. which if invoked.
gives (‘ongress a say in whether
American forces could remain in the
region. The administration has re-
fused to invoke the law over the Per-
sian Gulf deployment.

l-‘itzwater said the act is reviewed
every time there is an incident and
“will be after this incident. as well.
but there are no preliminary
judgments to make other than we
will comply with the spirit of the
resolution by giving full and detailed
consulations to the Congress "

Asked if the Iranians picked up
from the water would be returned
home. Fitzwater noted that the linita
ed States repatriated Iranians who
were captured from the mine-laying
boat.

“I think the other incident is in-
structive of our general attitude. but
I just couldn‘t go beyond that." Fitz
water said.

Hoffman said the incident oc-
curred 9250 pm. local time in the
gulf 42:50 pm. I-ZDTi. He said the
American helicopters were flying in
international airspace and mounted
the attack “within the rules of en-
gagement in self defense."

Hoffman said he didn‘t know how
many helicopter gunships took part

eastern conference champion ISU
and was just six points from 3 Sugar

In the preseason, Mississippi was
picked third in the tough SEC.

Just 14 after five games, many
fans are already packing it in and
some have even suggested that Ole
Miss is just playing out the sched—
ule. The Wildcats disagree.

"Their record doesn‘t give them
any justice." said senior linebacker
Jeff Kremer. ”They‘re on probation
and might be dragging their heads
just a bit."

The oddsmakers are leaning on
the Rebels‘ record. Kentucky is even
a six—point favorite to win the game.
But then. the Cats were favored last
year and they left Mississippi with a

33-13 defeat. Don't think UK has for-
gotten.

“If somebody beats our tail, they
better bring another board with
them,“ UK offensive guard Butch
Wilburn said. “We‘re just excited. I
wish we played them before Satur-
day."

”We went down there and they to—
tally embarrassed us,“ UK offensive
tackle Greg Kunkel said. “We didn‘t
play with any intensity. They were
all jacked up and took it to us.“

UK expects Mississippi to try and
take it to them in the air tomorrow

night. Rebel quarterback Mark
Young has already completed 90
passes for 940 yank. UK quar—
terbacks Kevin Dooley, Glenn Fohr
and Bill Allen have not attempted
that many passes (76).

The Wildcats are far superior on
the ground — at least on paper. UK
leads the SEC in total offense, rtsh-
mg the ball 222 times in four games.
ole Miss, in five games, has run the
ball just 183 times. The Wildcats are
averaging 471 total yards a game
compared to 362.4 for Mississippi.

The key to the game, though,
could be who gets penalized the
most. Last week the Wildcats drew
the yellow flags 13 times for 105
yards.

“We got to improve on the penal-
ties,“ UK coach Jerry Claiborne
said. “We got some personal fouls
and we don‘t want them to occur.
We need to have better concentra-
tion.“

Concentration was the big prob-
lem for the Cats in last year's game.
In the 33-13 loss. UK was penalized
13 times for 105 yards and turned
the ball over four times.

“We came in there with our heads
up and got them knocked off," UK
running back Mark Higgs said.

The blowout seemed to send both
teams in different directions. UK
went on to finish with four losses in
six games. Ole Miss got cranked up

MEASLES ALERT

An Important Message To All U.K. Students From
The Director Of The Student Health Service

We Are Trying To Prevent A Measles Epidemic
At The University of Kentucky!

From 1963-1970 many children were vaccinated with “killed virus" vaccines
that unfortunately did not give long lasting immunity. Therefore many college
students who were vaccinated during these years are NOT immune.

This situation has led to some serious measles epidemics on college cam-
puses over the past three or four years. These epidemics occurred at neigh-
boring universities such as Indiana, Purdue and Miami of Ohio in addition to
many other colleges nationwide.

For this reason the Student Health Service is conducting a measles immuni-

zation clinic:

WHEN: Tues, Oct. 15th and Wed., Oct. 16th

WHERE: STUDENT HEALTH SERVICE, MEDICAL PLAZA BUILDING (the entrance
to the building is just beyond the overhead bridge across Rose Street from the
University Hospital), ist floor (look for the WILDCAT BLUE DOOR).

TIME: 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

COST: FREE TO STUDENTS

THERE IS NO HARM IN RECEIVING A SECOND IMMUNIZATION IF THERE IS
ANY DOUBT ABOUT YOUR IMMUNITY. (Students born before 1957 do not need
further immunization because they would be considered exposed to natural
measles and would be expected to have natural immunity).

Protection of the University of Kentucky student body requires 100% partici-
pation. Please give this matter your prompt attention. We need your cooper-
ation to assure that U.K. does not experience a measles epidemic in this and

future years.

FRANK S. CASCIO, M.

Director, Student Health Service

 

“If somebody beats our tail, they better bring
another board with them. We're just excited. I
wish we played them before Saturday."

and went on to win five of their last
srx.

Tomorrow night‘s game could be
pivotal again. At 3-1, UK has a shot
at a successful season. The Rebels
have sputtered all year. But a win
over UK could turn the key to the
Ole Miss engine.

“We‘re not going to take their re-
cord lightly," Kunkel said. “Some-
thing has got to be wrong and
they‘re going to put it together
sometime."

The Wildcats just hope that time
is next week.

Tickets available

About 1,000 student tickets are still
available for tomorrow night‘s foot-
ball game. Students can pick up two
tickets at Room 3 at Memorial Col—
iseum between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. by
presenting two validated student
ID’s.

‘Singin’ ’
comes to
local stage

By JACKIE LATIMER
Contributing Writer

uesday and Wednesday's

weather set the scene and

“whet" the appetite of many
Lexingtonians for the opening show
of the Broadway Live Series at the
Opera House. “Singin’ In The
Rain."

The musical. which opened on
Broadway in 1985 and makes its first
Lexington appearance this weekend
recreates the point during the 19205
when silent movies were changing to
become “talkies.”

Richard Pardy, executive director
of the Opera House. said this show
was chosen as the season opener
because of the ease in its
scheduling.

But it wasn't chosen solely for its
convenient schedule. Pardy had
seen the musical last year in
Louisville and was convinced to
bring it to Lexington. “It‘s a lively
show and great fun.“ he added.

One of the liveliest scenes is when
Don Lockwood (played by Jay
Cramford) strolls down a Hollywood
street singing and dancing around
puddles with rain pouring down his
back.

Now how does an indoor theater
such as the Opera House create this
scene with pouring rain“? Simple.
With water.

Julie Ann Cunningham. assistant

He said the stage. resembling one

Jazz eccentric Keith Jarrett at UK

By WILL RI‘ZNSIIAW
Staff Writer

What has two arms, two legs. vir-
tuosity in jazz improvisation. and
periodically moans and dances while
playing the piano?

This can only be jazz and classical
composer and piano virtuoso Keith
Jarret. who will perform with drum-
mer Jack DeJohnette and bassist
Gary Peacock tonight as the second
installment of the 1987 Spotlight Jazz
Series.

“Jarret is one of the true eccen-
trics in jazz.“ said Chester Grundy.
the Jazz Series co-producer.

Along with these stage antics. he
has also been known to reprimand
audiences for talking. and has occa-
sionally stopped in mid-performance
to have the piano tuned.

“Everything has to be perfect."
said Grundy.

Jarret has had these idiosyncra-
sies for so long that audiences come
to expect them along with some of
the finest improvisational work in
jazz.

His work does not only harbor it-
self in the improvisational genre.
but has extended itself into the
realms of classical music. folk.
French Impressionism. gospel and
be-bop.

Jarret studied jazz at Berklee
School of Music in Boston. His ca-
reer rocketed early on in the ‘605

while working as a soloist with noted
artists.

"In terms of his musical back-
ground, he has come up through
some of the best teachers. such as
Charles Loyd. and probably his most
noteworthy work was with Miles
Davis around the time of Davis'
Bitch ‘s Brew album.“ said Grundy.

Jarret is what Grundy called a
“purest." who nevertheless. during
his work with Davis. made an ex-
ception and worked with the electric
piano.

After this period. Jarret pursued
his best-known work. consisting of a
large number of albums containing
totally improvised pieces.

“He used no music." said Grundy.

“He played extended concerts by
creating music on the spot.“

While still improvising concerts

ing with his current group. consist-

Although not totally without the
extended solos of the past. Jarrct‘s
trio works mainly with tightly knit
standards. hence the name The
Standards Trio.

Both DeJohncttc and Peacock are
also noted musicians. DeJohnette
has played with musicians such as
John Coltrane and Miles Davis. and
has his own group called Special
Edition, Peacock is. according to
Grundy. “one of the most important
bassists of this time."

Fosse emersed
with lecture
on watercolor

By GREGORY NICHOLS
Contributing Writer

When it comes to painting with
watercolor. UK faculty member and
alumnus Robert James Foosc isn't
short on opinions. A noted artist who
has been featured in American Art»
ist magazine. Foose will share his
experience with the art form Sunday
during a Center Sunday Series lec-
ture. “The Contemporary Waterco-
Ior."

Foose. a Pennsylvania native. has
presented more than 150 exhibitions.
one-third of which have been solo.
He has also authored and illustrated
many books. but he still enjoys wa-
tercolor the best. “I work in other
mediums. but watercolor is proba-
bly my favorite.“

Foose traveled Europe extensively
in the early '705. as well as Central
and South America. He says that
travel is an integral part of his
style. and he continues to visit (‘olo-
rado each summer for that reason

Yet Foose is particularly inter‘
ested in the vernacular architecture
of Kentucky. that which is peculiar
to this area alone. He has been
known to paint familiar local struc—
tures. only to place them in different
surroundings. This often confuses
the local viewer. he says.

“I painted a farmhouse on the cor-
ner of Maxwell and Euclid avenues.
but put it in the middle of a field."
he says.

Foose's interest in art may be tru—
ced to his exposure as a child to an
uncle who painted. whom he calls a
Renaissance man. “Here was a guy
who actually painted. I‘d never met
anyone who made paint ings." he
says. “The idea of pursuing an art
career was simply unheard of III
those days . "

However. Foose says that his own
style. which he describes as "cor
tainly realistic." evolved indepen
dently of his family.

Foose sees the need for the artist
to draw upon his or her past. but he
isn‘t obsessed with nostalgia Hi‘ ad-
heres to thc watercolor maxim.
“quit one hour before you‘re tin-
ished.“

He also adheres to Picasso's wit
pectant optimism that the next
painting will be his best,

“It‘s possible to overwork a paint
ing. Watercolor is a loose-natured
medium that can be muddled" with
too much attention. Foose says

He is wary of the many gimmicks
and shortcuts found in the art world
today. calling much of it “fast-
food.” All the television advertise-
ments for “the secret of oil paint
ing" are. says Foose. “too packaged
and too convenient. Art is much
more ephemeral than that. It is not
ascience.”

WHEN, WHERE
AND HOW MUCH

DRobert James Foose's lec-
ture. “Contemporary Waterco-
lors." will be held Sunday at
3 pm. in the Recital Hall of
the Singletary Center for the
Arts. Slides will be presented.
Admission is free.

impaired

By JAYE Bl-II-ZLER
Staff Writer

Delta Zeta sorority and the Lex-
ington Hearing and Speech Center
sponsored a free public hearing
check yesterday.

“A low number of people turned
up to receive a hearing check be-
cause it was downstairs in the Stu-
dent Center. which didn‘t help
much." said Mary Beth Woodrow.
Delta Zeta philanthropy chairper-
son.

The hearing check was performed
with an audiometer. used to mea-
sure the acuity of hearing in a quiet
mom. said Daena Wilds, audiologist
from the Lexington Hearing and
Speech Center.

“If a person passes the test, his
hearing is normal." Wilds said, “If
the test shows a person has a hear-
ing loss. he should have a complete
hearing evaluation done."

The hearing checks performed
yesterday were a screening to verify
that hearing is in normal limits 7
which is below 25 — or. if not, to let
people know they may have a possi-
ble hearing impairment, Wilds said.
