State support could he on horizon

By Stephen Trimbla
Executive Editor

As UK successfully approaches
the end of a two-month campaign
to find internal funding for a new
library, ho e for state support
may be on tile horizon.

Gov. Brereton Jones
announced Wednesday he is
meeting privately with state law-
makers to reach a consensus on
the need for a special session
aimed at capital projects that the
General Assembly turned down
this summer.

Jones’ spokesman Joe Lilly said

the governor has said in the past
that the January “organizational
session might be a good time to
consider (a special session)”

Lilly said Jones has mentioned
a convention center in Louisville
could be considered during a spe-
cial session, as well as a new
Louisville bridge, connecting the
Kentucky-Indiana border.

However, Jones will not name
other projects specifically until he
learns the opinions of legislators,
Lilly said.

“In his mind, the projects
(Jones) proposed a year ago were
all worthwhile projects,” Lilly

said. Jones asked the General
Assembly to ap rove more than
$300 million 0 capital projects

lasts rin .
UI’CS £58 million Central and
Life Sciences Library is among

the man capital projects Jones
propose to lawmakers last year.

Legislators balked at Jones’
pro osal, and instead passed a
u get in June that excluded
near y all of the capital projects.

Sen. Mike Molone , D-Lex-
ington, said if a s ecial’session is
convened that t e UK library
should be the “first item on the
list.”

“It’s the most important ca ital
construction project that we ave
in the state of Kentucky,”
Moloney said.

As UK officials are on the
verge of closing a deal with the
Lexington-F a ette Urban County
Council on hursday, Moloney
said the University’s abili to pay
for it alone should not a feet the
state’s priority.

“Just because President
(Charles) Wethington showed
some creativity doesn’t mean
he should be penalized,” Moloney
said. “If he is, it is because people
are very narrow—minded.”

Lowe places service

He disagrees with people who
say greeks are only concerned with
social activities, not with helping
others.

“If it were up to me,” Lowe
said, “service would come first,
then academics and then social
events. It is important to extend
your hand to the community.”

PI‘OIGSSOI‘ studying Jflllll Henryism

Students who have determina-

from low socioeconomic back-
grounds may ex erience stress—

Cardiovascular health problems
such as high blood pressure and
hypertension may result from
John Henryism.

“John Henry” is a folk story
from the Industrial A e about a
black man who roves Ee can out—

dies shortly thereafter.

Dr. Sherman James coined the
term John Henryism to describe
blacks who strive to achieve but

John Henryism is a coping style

said Lynda Brown

“There are su port systems on

these studients some kind of hope.”
Wri ht's involvement in the

Wright said. “Helping them to

lielp to provide support.”

Wright said so )port groups,
whether through a lamil or cam-
pus organization, can help stu—
dents reach realistic goals and see
beyond the present moment.

“We need to help them frame
things and put them in perspec—
tive,” Wri ht said.

To retliice medical problems,
students should be aware of their
family‘s history of cardiovascular
disease or high blood pressure, she
said.

“There has been a lot of
research that different personali-
ties, like Type—A personalities, are
more prone to have cardiovascular
problems,” Wright said. “That
drive that students have to make it
can cause high blood pressure or

often are met with discomfort and
evasion.

Louis Zoellar Bickett is pre-
senting these dysfunctional topics
in a one-man installation at the
Pence Hall Gallery that is
described by the artist as “over—
powering and claustrophobic.”

If you ask the self-taught
painter, sculptor and performance
artist to further describe his dis-
play, he sa 5, “These are nebulous,
curious, itfeas of family; what fam—
ily means in the Southern con-
cept.”

The installation, titled “The
Holy Family,” is a collection of
photographs of Bickett’s ancestors
and friends and photos he pur—
chased at antique stores and yard
sales. Placed on wood boards and
planks with plexiglass covering the
photos, the photos and wood are
partially covered with wax.

Combined with the photos is a
collection of 100 pairs of dilapi-
dated shoes that are lined up along
the floor and are covered with the
same crystalline wax. The shoes
were obtained from friends and
the Salvation Army and range
from baby shoes to high heels.

Bickett was inspired to use
shoes after seeing a photogra h of
a sorting room in Ausc witz
where confiscated shoes were
lined up.

Bickett recalled that his interest
in the shoes got to an “obsessive
point of wondering what hap-
pened to the owners of those
shoes.” Bickett then realized that
the shoes represented the
“anonymity of death.”

Bickett’s incorporation of wood
planks and photographs arose
from one of his hobbies.

“I visit cemeteries around the
world. Some people think that
cemeteries are spooky, but I think
they are historically interesting,”

he said.

This hobby helped inspire the
mount of photographs. On a trip
to a Revolutionary War cemetery
in Savannah, Ga., Bickett saw
tombstones “lined against walls
because no one knew where the
deceased were buried."

The planks in Bickett’s gallery
are positioned leaning against the
wall in compact groups of 10 to 12
that Bickett said are “like some
cemeteries are so compact."

The photos were fastened to
the wood in a deliberately crude
fashion to make an “interesting
comment on life and the eclectic
passage of time,” Bickett said.

The rust—colored wax adhesive
is a “reference to dirt and blooc ,"
Bickett said. The appearance of
the boards are associated with the
cycle of life, described by Bickett
as “part of the dirt, it comes from
the land. We come from the land;
we go back to the land.”

Bickett uses wood from torn
down buildings to represent the
“recycling through death," which
called “an intricate part oflife.”

Bickett’s said his art represents
“layerin rs of time and is very
much a out memory and time
passin 7."

Bickett said he wants anyone
who sees “The Holy Family” to
“reflect on their own families and
see how the work mirrors life
experience.”

“The Holy Family" will run
run until Oct. 31 in the Pence
Hall Gallery on the second floor
of the College ofArchitecture.
