Steinem encourage

By Nina Davidson
Staff Writer

The younger generation of femi-
nists should do “anything it wants"
in the push for social equality, not-
ed feminist and author Gloria Stei~
nem said yesterday during an ap-
pearance at a Lexington book store.

“The whole point of feminism is
that each of us decides what we
want to do,” she told the crowd of
about 250 fans at Joseph-Beth
Booksellers. “I think it's admirable
that there are so many young femi-
nists. When you’re a student,
you’re treated with more equality
than ever again. You‘re paying
money, you're a consumer."

Steinem gave a 20-minute speech
to the crowd, then autographed cop—
ies of her recent best seller, “Revo-
lution from Within: A Book of Self-
Esteem."

Several UK students attended the
book signing. Beckie Overstrect. a
biology sophomore, said she
skipped class to catch a glimpse of
Steinem, who was a pivotal figure
in the women‘s liberation move.
ment of the 1970s.

Overstreet said she recently read
“Revolution from Within" and
found the book to be inspirational.
“It makes me feel stronger as a
woman, as a person. I have more
conﬁdence now, much more confi-
dence."

Jami Beavers. an English senior,
said she has not read Steinem’s
book yet, but has read some of her
other works.

“I think she's made great strides
for women and our movement,"
Beavers said. “She’s been able to
knock down a lot of barriers.”

Laura Turner, an anthropology
graduate student, said Steinem
“seems to be able to speak to a lot
of different audiences."

Turner said she did not want to
identify herself as a feminist, but
still is extremely cottcertted about
women‘s issues.

Steinem commented on the 6-
day-old Clinton administration, es-
pecially Hillary Clinton's recent ap—
pointment to lead health care re-
form.

“Hillary Clinton does not have
arty power except the power of per

Scholarships allow
students to see world

By Amy Barnes
Contributing Writer

Students who enjoy traveling and
would like to earn credit hours d0-
ing it may want to take advantage
of options offered by UK’s Study
Abroad Services.

The service, provided by the Of-
fice of International Affairs, offers
students the opportunity to travel
overseas, earn credit hours, study
various subjects. tour cities and
build resumes.

Why study abroad?

Many students do it because they
“feel the need to broaden their hori-
zons,“ said Study Abroad Adviser
Suzanne Kifer. “Once they start,
they find it difficult to stay home. It
gives them a chance to learn about
the world, see how other people
view the United States, learn about
the places they go, develop confi-
dence and know that they have the
ability to do something adventur-

ous.

Traveling costs vary depending
on the program the student chooses.
However, scholarships can help de~
ter the cost, and almost all scholar-
ships given by the University can
be used to support overseas studies.

Financial aid and student grants
may also be used to study abroad,
unless they are restricted to on-

Dean Swift
offering

mini- grants
for projects

By Maggie Plotkln
Contributing Writer

The Office of Undergradu-
ate Studies is now offering
mini-grants of up to $300 to
individuals and faculty mem-
bers on the Lexington Cant—
pus who need help with pur-
chasing instructional
materials.

Louis Swift. dean of under-
graduate studics, said this
project will “enhance class»
room activities.“

Specifically, the grants cart
be used to purchase soltwarc.
slides, videotapes and other
necessary teaching materials.
A special effon is made to
support joint projects. Coop-
eration with undergraduate
departments lightens the bur-
den in this time of smaller
budgets, Swift said.

But even with assistance
from certain departments,
everyone‘s needs cannot be
met. SWlll said he recognizes
that departments have less
money to spend this year and
that the mini-grants cannot
provide for all of the projects.

Faculty members are the
iitajon'ty of applicants. Wolf-
gang Natter. who teaches a
course in German cinema, re-
quested a grant in order to
rent a 1970s film. The video.
he said, is only available
through New York film dis-
tributors, making it difficult
to purchase without some
type of financial aid.

In the past, grants have
been used not only to par
chase materials, but for class
trips. Last year students stud-
ying music were taken to Ap-
palachia to experience first-
hand the origins of the music.

This is the kind of opportu-
nity that “makes a real differ-
ence in a class." Swift said.

Faculty wishing to apply
for a mini-grant should sub»
ntit a letter to the Office of
L'ndergraduate Studies de-
scribing the request. the
course along with necessary
titaterials. all participating in»
striictors and the amount
needed. Non-faculty iiteiit~

graitt must include art enr

Clinton to act fast to end ban

By Terence Hunt
Associated Press

WASHINGTON —— The White
House asserted the right to revoke
the ban on homosexuals in the mili-
tary without the consent of Con-
gress yesterday. Some Republican
lawmakers explored how to force a
vote, but the Senate‘s top Democrat
predicted “it will all be worked
out."

President Clinton will act swiftly
this week to end the 50-year-old
prohibition, spokesman George Ste-
phanopoulos said. “The president
has the power to move forward on

President to offer package to stimulate economy

By Martin Crutslnger
Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The admin-
istration. confronted with stark evi-
dence that US. corporate giants are
still shedding jobs by the thou-
sands, said yesterday that President
Clinton will likely propose SIS bil-
lion to $20 billion in government
spending and tax breaks to jump-
start the economy this year.

Labor Secretary Robert Reich

.....y_......,.,.-.v--—~- ~-----

conceded that this was a small total
in comparison to the $6 trillion
economy but he insisted that it
would still send “a very clear sig-
nal that we have got to get the
growth back."

At the White House, communi-
cations director George Stephano—
poulos agreed with Reich‘s assess-
ment that a stimulus package was
likely but he told reporters that it
could be “a little higher" than the
ﬁgures mentioned by Reich.

Reich and other administration

officials insisted that no ﬁnal deci-
sions had been made, but his com-
ments were the strongest indication
yet of the shape of the administra-
tion's proposed stimulus program.

The White House said yesterday
that Clinton‘s economic program,
which will link stimulus this year
with a long-term effort to reduce
soaring budget deﬁcits, will be un-
veiled by the president in a State of
the Union address to Congress on
Feb. 17.

That gives the administration just

three weeks to reach a myriad of
decisions on such questions as what
public works projects should
pushed forward and what tax breaks
offered this year to boost growth
while at the same time proposing
spending cuts in popular beneﬁt
programs such as Social Security
and tax inc reascs in future years.

The debate is taking place against
a backdrop of an economy that,
while srowing improvement in re-

ending discrimination against ho-
mosexuals in the military," he said.
“If we can avoid a legislative bat-
tle, that‘s all to the good." Stephan-
opoulos said. “But the president res
ntains coiiiiitttted to his policy."

Clinton held his first legislatiic
strategy meeting with congressional
leaders, Democrats and Republi-
cans alike. but participants said
there was only scant discussion of
lifting the military ban on homosex-
uals.

Senate Majority Leader George
Mitchell, D-Maine, said outside tltc
White House that he didn‘t know
how the Senate would vote on the

issue if it arose. But he added. “I
don't think it‘s going to some to
that. i think it will all be worked
out beforehand "

Republicans accused Clinton of
ignoring the strong objections of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

“These experts are saying some-
thing simple: If you are looking for
a way to destroy the discipline and
esprit dc corps of a military unit. it
is clear —— just inject sexual tension
into the barracks," said Sen. Dan
Coats of Indiana, the GOP point
man in the fight with the new ad»
ministration.

By Rebecca Farmer
Contributing Critic

For those who would rather sit
through three showings of “Ishtar"
than watch an opera. “Falstaff,”
presented by the School of Music
and Department of Theatre, is the
perfect performance to see. Though
more titan two hours long, the live-
ly music and brilliant vocal perfor-
mances keep Verdi's final master»
piece from becoming boring.

The three-act opera is performed

in English and is based on Shake~
speare’s comedy “The Merry Wives
of Windsor." The pompous buffoon
Sir John Falstaff gets himself into
serious trouble when he sends iden-
tical love letters to two women who
plot revenge on Falstaff for his au—
dacity.
The play ends with the reconcilia—
tion of all the characters in one of
the most difficult to perform but
beautiful fugues every written for
an opera.

The opera as a whole was a test
of talents and endurance for the fa-
culty, students and Lexington cont-
munity singers involved in the pro-
duction. UK opera director and
orchestra conductor Phillip Miller
noted that “Falstaff“ is “one of the
biggest orchestral operas ever writ-
ten.“

Director Michael Ehnnann
agreed Falstall is ill imbitioUs op

era for any university to do," he
said.

Ehrmann commuted from his po.
sition as head of the opera program
at the University of Tennessee to
help with the acting and movement
involved in “Falstaff."

Dan Cook, the Lexington com-
munity singer and opera veteran
who plays Sir John Falstaff, ac
knowledged that his role is “an en-
durance test and a test of skills."

(,‘ook played Falstaff 20 years
ago. and despite the difficulty of
the role. jumped at the chance to
perform the part again.

“Falstaff is the supreme comic
baritone role," he explained.

The UK orchestra also had their
work cut out for them. Stewart
Smith, a trumpet player and UK
graduate student, spoke on the diffi-
culty of practicing a piece one way,
then having to play it differently
during performances in order to fol-
low the actors.

Monica Lykins, a cello player
and music performance major,
spoke about the dedication it took
to endure the three-hour practices
that took up the musicians' week-
ends and weekdays.

The result is a feast for both the
eyes and ears. The authentic set and
gorgeous and bright costumes make
the opera visually stunning. The
lively and lloning music l\ bril-

liantly performed, and the singing
and acting is superb.

Highlights of the opera include
Lauren Robbins as Mr. Ford, with
his powerful and emotionally
charged solo concerning his wife’s
supposed infidelity. UK student
Tina Hill's faultless soprano as Na-
netta blended beautifully with UK
voice faculty member Everett
McCorvey’s performance of Fen-
ton. Phyllis Jcnncss, in her last per-
formance after 3‘) years as a UK
voice faculty member, is wonderful
as the plotting Mistress Quickly.

Unfortunately, the acoustic de-
sign of the Otis A. Singlctary Cen—
ter for the Arts swallows many of
the performers voices. It should be
noted that they must fill up the con-
cert hall without the aid of micro-
phones. The bad acoustics makes
the singers difficult to understand
at times also, so it would be advisa-
ble to sit as near the stage as possi-
ble.

“Falstaff“ is perfect for the first
time opera gocr and for those who
feel opera is boring. it‘s funny, full
of action and brilliantly performed.

Wildcats demolish Tigers by 38 points

..-moow'm¢0'vIr-.u. .....

By Mark Sonka
Senior Staff Writer

Almost nothing unexpected hap-
pened at Rupp Arena last night ex-
cept maybe the margin of victory.
Which is to say that No. 4- ranked
UK went on one of its inevitable
scoring streaks
to wrap up an-
other Southeast-
ern Conference
victory, this
time long before
the end of the
first half.

Louisiana
State stayed
competitive for .
almost 13 min- MASHBURN
utes before the
Wildcats went on a maddening 21-6
run en route to a huge 52-24 half-
time lead and an eventual 105-67
victory before 24,225 fans.

Sophomore center Andre Riddick
was the first to incite the irascible
UK crowd to a near riot with a re-
bound put~back at the 5:40 mark.

Star forward Jamal Mashbum, on
his way to 16 first half points and 27
for the game, scored the next bucket
off a deft high- low pass from fresh-
man Jared Prickett.

UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY

L_TUDENT AC —IV/TIES BOARD l

And when Dale Brown, Jeff
Brassow and Browu again hit con—
secutive threes minutes later the
rout was on, with LSU unraveling
like a cheap sweater

“l’ m surprised by the lopsided
score but not by the way we ‘re
playing," said UK coach Rick Piti-
no. “I can't be any more pleased
with a basketball team. "

During the first 20 minutes, Ti-
gers’ ﬁeld goals were as scarce as
Mashbum air balls (well, there was
one) while Tigers’ turnovers (15 In
the first half) were as commonplace
as obliterating shrieks emanating
from Dick Vitale’ s mouth.

UK' s unrelenting press, fueled
by the crowd, and its suffocating
man-to-man defense, same impe-
tus, gave Bayou Bengals coach
Dale Brown his worst nightmare
since he returned home last sum-
mer with that day- -glo, dyed-
lluorescent hairdo.

It was the only bright thing about
Brown’s technical-t’oul-shortened
evening. He was thrown out at the
I9: 28 mark of the second half for
the ﬁrst time in his 30- year coach-
ing career.

He called It an injustice.”

“It was men against boys to-
night," Brown said. “We were to-

.pp4.-'w~>v"‘"1“wﬂvﬂ

tally outmanned. Jamal was fantas-
uc."

LSU shot an innocuous 35.7 per-
cent in the first half to UK' s 58. 3, a
half Pitino labeled “probably the
finest half of basketball we've ever
played here. "

LSU had four players in the scor-
ing column to the Cats' ll. And
LSU had just four assists to UK’s
16.

Even Aminu Timberlake came
out of hiding to score two points.

Half No 2 was more of the same.
More Mash, more flash and more
bash. (So long as you don‘t count
that Brown pass that bounced off
the back of Gimel Martinez‘s crani-
um.) Mashbum two-hand dunked
on the break, Tony Delk made four
three- -point plays (three on Jumpers,
one that he earned inside).

Senior center (reert Hatnmink a
far cry from the Shaq led the Tigers
with 19 points and 10 rebounds.

The game' 5 most popular pastime
eventually became watching Piti-
no’ 3 eyes to see if he would quench
the student section s thirsty chants
of “We want Todd' We want
Todd!"

They got him, [00.

And he scored three points, a
bucket and a free throw.

Appointment of Hillary
to be health reform czar
reeks of cheap nepotism

EDITORIAL

In response to John F. Kennedy’s appointment of his brother Rob-
ert Kennedy as attorney general. some disgruntled congressmen de-
cided to enact an anti-nepotism law. This law

would prevent the president from including

family members in his cabinet.

Today, Congress has been shot in the foot

by their own law.

President Clinton and his wife, Hillary.
have gotten around that law by giving her a
job without pay. The job she has been given
just happens to be shaping one of the key is-
sues people elected the president to change

— health care.

.4 i
H. CLINTON

Because she is not receiving monetary
compensation for herjob of creating a new national health care poli-
cy. she answers to no one except her husband. Congress cannot
even touch her because of her relationship to the president.

Hillary has not been conﬁrmed by Congress. unlike persons
working in the White House with less power than her. She also has
received her own ofﬁce in the west wing which is a security-tight

area.

Because Hillary is the wife of the president she automatically
commands some respect and power amongst people who work for
her husband. Now, her position directing health care reform in our
country gives her even more power —— only this power is not gov-

ernment approved

Congress once again has made a law that came back to haunt
them. The law should be repealed and replaced with one that allows
them the ability to check all presidential appointments and while at
the same time getting rid of the vengeful nepotism rule. It would
complete the system of checks and balance our forefathers created.

Hillary should either be conﬁrmed by Congress or get out of the
west wing. The nation didn‘t elect Hillary Clinton president. It

elected her husband.

Welcome change visible
in White House attitude

toward pro-choice issues

EDITORIAL

In one of his ﬁrst acts of ofﬁce. President Clinton issued an exec-
utive order last week which reversed pro-life policies practiced by
former presidents Ronald Reagan and George Bush.

The move was a victory for abortion rights activists whose right
to choose to have an abortion has been held hostage by l2 years of
Republican control of the White House.

Clinton. as he promised during his campaign for ofﬁce, is once
again providing women with the reproductive freedom to which
they are entitled. It is indeed refreshing to see such an open-
minded view coming from the White House.

The president also issued an order allowing the RU486 pill. the
equivalent of an oral abortion pill, to be brought into the country
for research purposes. While the pill cannot be administered, Clin-
ton‘s permission to conduct research means the pill may someday
be available for general consumption. pending Federal Drug Ad-
ministration approval. The pill is already availablc in many coun-

tries in Europe.

In the sweep of changes Clinton also repealed the ban on the use
of valuable fetal tissue which can be used in the medical ﬁeld to
further the lives of others. The tissue can be used for a wide variety
of medical procedures and treatments.

His repeal of the gag rule on counseling patients that abortion is
an option in federally funded clinics also was lifted. At last. once
again, abortion is a choice for women in our country.

LETTER

Fraternity not

involved in arrest

To the editor:

The Jan. 25, 1993, edition of the
Kentucky Kernel contained an en-
try in the police log which could
be misinterpreted.

We, the brothers of Phi Kappa
Psi social fraternity. believe the
need to clarify what happened on
Jan. l6. 1993 and our stance on
the use of illegal drugs.

The young man arrested for pos-
session of marijuana is not a mem-
ber of our fraternity and actually
never entered the party.

The arresting ofﬁcer was stand-
ing on our front porch when she
detected the scent of marijuana
and proceeded to question those
who were waiting to enter the

house. At this point, she arrested
the “unnamed subject." We are not
even sure of the subject's name.

This unnamed subject was not
on our guest list, and thus would
not have been admitted upon try-
ing to enter the party. He is in no
way associated with the fraternity
of Phi Kappa Psi.

We, the brothers of Phi Kappa
Psi, are strongly opposed to the
use of illegal drugs. Our national
and chapter by-laws have severe
punishments for anyone using ille-
gal substances while associated
with the fraternity of Phi Kappa
Psi in any way.

We hope this clariﬁes any mis-
conceptions about Phi Kappa PSI
and fraternity life.

Are Commandments Vital to our survival?

Some believe
they should be
taught in school

I watched a delightful television
show the other day. Perhaps
you‘ve seen it. It consists of relig-
ious broadcaster Pat Robertson as
the host and contains a series of
heart-wrenching stories designed
to make you turn to religion.

If you're watching it because
you have some huge void in your
life and you find what you‘re
missing in Robertson. so be it,
that‘s great. But if you’re watch-
ing it because it was either Roben-
son, an in-depth analysis of foot-
ball or fly-ﬁshing, you see
something a little different.

Robertson told me (Yes, he
spoke to me through the television
screen. He kind of has that way of
looking at you.) that the United
States is heading for a huge melt-
down of sorts. He said we have
become so immoral and so with-
out values of any kind that we are
about to step neck-deep into anar-
chy.

Robertson went on to tell me
that this is what happened to Ger-
many and France and all other
countries who at one point or an-
other have forsaken religion (Na-
zis, French Revolution. etc.). And
then he suggested that we begin to
teach the Ten Commandments in
school again. No, I’m sorry, he
complained that we can’t teach
the Ten Commandments in school.

Okay. Let’s start at Command-
ment No. 3, cause that‘s easy.

’ ~ Kernel Columnist

Thou shalt not take the Lord’s name
in vain. That would be good. People
would have to be more creative in
speaking and writing. No. 4 is about
keeping the Sabbath day holy.
That’s iffy.

No. 5. thou shalt honor thy father
and thy mother. Definitely a good
idea. Mom and Dad are going to
love you no matter what. They de-
serve some credit. Thou shalt not
kill. No need to explain that. Per-
haps if Charles Manson, or Ted
Bundy, or whoever killed former
president John F. Kennedy had
heard that in school they might not
have done what they did.

Don‘t commit adultery. That
would eliminate a lot of the useless
scandal that takes the place of good
news. Don‘t steal. That would elim-
inate all those annoying little car
alarms that go off when you breathe
on them. Don't lie. That one could
possibly stifle creativity among
students. but l won’t argue that it’s
not a good idea.

And don’t covet. Covet? Oh,
don’t want what you don’t have.
Jealousy is innately human, we sim-
ply can't help it, but it’s still a good
goal.

All of these embody good social
values. I can see how Robertson
would want these to be taught in the
schools. It's the other two com—
mandments, Thou shalt have no
other Gods before me, and thou
shalt not make for yourself a carved
image. What happens to the people
who aren’t Judco-Christian?

I appreciate his idea for an insta-cure for
society, but we really don‘t need it as badly as
he thinks we do. I personally think that we‘ve
got a few more (thousand or three) good years
in us, and we’ll get on fine without him.

Doesn't that leave them out?

Robenson started on all this be-
cause he thinks religion could dig
society out of this supposed rut
we‘re in. What I want to know is
are we in a hit, or is this just the
way we‘ve always been? Society
marches on. Technology has made
us grow apart from each other.
Maybe crime has gotten worse, but
that’s the price we pay for what
