What can you do about the
5500 your fraternity brother bor-
rowed, but never paid back?
What happens if you accidentally
hit a pedestrian while driving
down Rose Street?

These are the kind of legal
questions Lexington lawyer
Keith Baker has answered for
students, faculty and staff at UK
for the past ll years.

Baker is almost solely respon-
sible for building the Student
Government Association Legal
Service into what it is today.

He has expanded it from a pro-
gram offered twice every six
weeks to a comprehensive year-
round program offering free con-
sultation seven hours each week.

“Essentially, the service is to
afford students an opportunity to

Baker said there is nothing stu-

He has talked with them about
divorce, personal injury, land-
lord/tenant problems and even
bankruptcy.

“Somebody came in a few

UK leader says barriers
to blacks Will be broken

By CURTIS I. JACKSON
Staff Writer

UK President Charles Wethington
said yesterday that he wants to see
the school become a leader in the re-
cruitment and retention of minority
faculty and students.

Addressing about 50 people at a
Black Student Union meeting at the
Student Center, Wethington said
UK has what it needs to achieve
those goals.

“I have set as one of my goals
making this the kind of environment
that does cause students of all races,
creeds and colors and origins, inter-
national students and others, to be-
lieve and feel that this is a comforta-
ble place,” Wethington said.

Wethington acknowledged the
fact that UK has been perceived as
an institution that does not welcome
cultural diversity. He said he wants
to see that image changed.

"With the key administrators that
are in place, with the chancellors of
the Lexington campus and the medi-
cal center. and the community col-
lege system we should be able to

 

knock down
whatever barriers :i
might exist to
truly make this a
better place than
it’s ever been,”
Wethington said.

creased its mi-
nority student

percent, and 10
tenure-track faculty were hired using
funds from the president’s office.

Wethington said these programs,
which are primarily fiscal incen-
tives, will be continued.

“I think that if you look back at
the last number of years we have
made some headway,” he said. “Yet
I don‘t want us to assume that it is
some sort of topside because even if
we got to that figure that should not
be perceived to be enough."

Wcthington said that increasing
black student and faculty enrollment
is difficult because there are so few
blacks who have expressed an inter-
est in pursumg undergraduate and
graduate degrees.

“There just are not the numbers
there for all institutions to meet their
goals unless all of you in this room
— and all the other black students
that we can bring into the University
of Kentucky and other institutions
—— go on through into the graduate
and professional preparation pro—
grams and come back to us as poten—
tial faculty." Wethington said.

Students were given the opportw
nity to ask Wethington questions
and express their concerns, one of
which was the funding available for
out~of state minority students \kllh
average college admittance test
scores.

Lauretta Byars,

interim yic‘d

chancellor for minority affairs, said
in the meeting that most of the
money available for out—of—statc
students in minority affairs is for
students with above~average scores.

"We do need more money for
out-of state students because in our
office the only money that we have
for out of state students is through
academic excellence, which means
you have to meet the criteria,"
Byars said.

Wethington acknowledged that
college institutions in general tend
to target recruitment programs to—
ward in-suitc students. but his per»
sonal belief is that the university
should meet the financial needs of
all minority students.

“We ought not to be trying to do

Students over 35 pay higher premiums

By MARY MADDEN
Staff Writer

Ann Watson. a graduate student
in geological sciences. used to carry
the optional health insurance. But
she had to drop the coverage when
her premium increased.

“1 hate to be without insurance,”
Watson said. But while she works
on her master‘s degree at UK —-— and
with about it monthly income of
about 5800 77 she said she simply
can't afford to have insurance.

Forced to carry health insurance,
there would be “no way" for her to
attend school. she said.

For UK students who are older
than 35, the cost of attending school
next year could increase dramatical-
ly.

According to a bill passed by the
state legislature earlier this year, all
full- and part-time University stu-
dents in Kentucky will be required
to carry health insurance. beginning
September 199].

An optional student health insu-
rance plan is now offered at UK.
Under that plan, students 35-and-
under pay a $191 premium and a
$200 deductible for six months of
coverage at current rates.

Students over 35 have to pay

more with the current plan. In addi-
tion to the S200 deductible. students
over 35 are required to pay a $526
premium.

Students who are married and/or
have children must pay a higher prev
mium.

“I can’t afford to pay the kind of
money it costs (for health insurance)
for someone my age that‘s al—
most as much as tuition,“ said Rob—
ert Lange, an English graduate stu—
dent

“They would have to do some-
thing to let older students get it at
the same price (as those 35~Llnd-

SGA passes bill bringing panel to campus

At last night‘s Student Govem-
ment Assocmtion senate meeting,
the senate passed a bill to bring a
panel to UK’s campus to discuss the
Middle Eastern conflict.

By passing the bill. the senate al-
located S7,175 for the honorarium

Marilyn Quayle, the vice presi-
dent‘s wife. and Gov. George Deuk-
mejian came to address a national
earthquake conference in San Fran-
cisco. Mrs. Quayle serves on an ad—
visory board of the Federal Emer-
gency Management Agency, which
came under fire for its handling of
the disaster.

Residents of the impoverished
West Oakland neighborhood where
a section of highway collapsed
planned to fall silent in memory of
the 42 people who died in their cars,
and in honor of the rescuers who
scaled the rubble to save lives.

The remaining roadway that bi-
sects the drug-infested neighbor-
hood of Oakland was renamed Man-

dela Parkway.

“There’s been a very demonstra-
ble renewal of hope in West Oak-
land," said event organizer Jack Ats
kin. “The earthquake was staggering
in its destructive power. God knows.
there‘s enough problems in West
Oakland with or without an earth-
quake. But people pulling together
will get them solved much quicker.“

Some community leaders said
yesterday, when six oak trees were
planted as a memorial, that the trag-
edy spawned a renewed spirit in the
impoverished area.

Oakland, but now people have be-

adding that the neighborhood is be-

A French restaurant, L‘Entrecote
de Paris. organized a “A Celebration
of Survival" to recreate last year‘s
impromptu after-quake soirec that
started when regulars begged the
restaurant not to close like others on
the block.

“Some were frightened, some
were laughing," said owner Alexan-
der Mortazavi. “They were singing
songs together. This whole place be-
came a party."

In seaside Santa Cruz. where
blocks of downtown still show the
quake‘s destruction, residents were
given the option of partying into the
night to the outdoor sounds of rock
bands and “earthquake comedy,“ a
free show by a group of San Fran-

‘_ SPORTS

The Series: Coming together

The World Series.

It captures the imagination of lit-
tle boys, who dream about being at
the plate with two outs in the ninth
inning of Game Seven and hitting
the long homer to win it.

It haunts the struggling college
student, whose head is barely above
the academic waters. The pressing
problems of term papers and exams
are pushed aside for a couple of
hours, as baseball assumes the fo-
cus of attention.

It draws parents and children,
separated by distance and the pass-
ing of time, together for a few mo-
ments as they banter back and forth
about managerial moves and missed
opportunities. Thoughts return to
days gone by when they played to-
gether in the backyard —— when it
was hard to tell the child from the
adult.

It brings total strangers together,
huddled around the television set in
a hospital waiting room, as they
talk about the game as if they were
old friends. Baseball, with its mass
appeal, provides a common ground
that erases our social insecurities.

It reminds men and women in the
service, thousands of miles from
home, perhaps even in Saudi Ara-

 

bia, of what they‘ve left behind. As
they listen to the game over Armed
Forces Radio, images of home and
security and family return. Baseball
is the connection.

Cliches? Maybe. But these are all
images of what baseball has meant
in the past and what it still means to-
day.

As universal as baseball seems to
be this time of the year, strangely
enough there still are an “unenlight-
ened” few, who stand around won-
dering why people like me are so
euphoric.

But even a girlfriend who can’t sit
through a game that consists of peo-
ple “just standing around," interrupt-
ed by an occasional burst of action
and then more “standing around,"
can see some of the nostalgia of the
Fall Classic.

For the past six months, in ball-
parks around the nation, a tradition
that’s nearly as old as roasted pea-

nuts has carved a few more memo-
ries into the national psyche.

What makes the World Series a
little more nostalgic, a little more
special than say, the Super Bowl or
the Final Four? It isn’t the hype.
The Super Bowl has the market cor-
nered on hype.

It isn’t the excitement. The Final
Four has caused more than a few
hearts to break over the years, often
at the very last possible moment.

What is special about the World
Series is that it’s more than the end
of the baseball season. it’s the pass-
ing of the last remnant of summer.
What started back in the brisk days
of April and lasted through the sti-
fling hot days of July is still with us,
even if only for a few more days.

If you can recall the opening day
of the season and the feelings of re-
newed hope in your favorite team,
then maybe you also remember the
feeling that summer was never go-
ing to end.

As you worked or played your
way through the summer, baseball
was a constant companion, some-
times in the background, but always
there as a reminder that summer is a
time for fun and that sometimes we
take life a little too seriously.

Well, the trees are on fire with the
colors of fall and winter, with all its
harshness, is just down the road. But
the World Series is one last little
respite back to summer. It’s a cele-
bration of sorts —— of a game that
has endured strife and change for
yet another year.

With a week — and maybe less
— left in the 1990 version of Ameri-
ca's past time take a moment to en-
joy a game that we won't see again
until the spring.

The memories, without a doubt,
will last long after winter has come
and gone.

Thompson admits to charges

By MICHAEL SMITH
Associated Press

OKLAHOMA CITY — Charles
Thompson says Oklahoma coach
Barry Switzer rightfully suspected
him and another former Sooner
quarterback of using cocaine.

Thompson, serving a two-year
sentence for selling cocaine, testi—
fied Monday and Tuesday in the
federal trial of two former Oklaho-
ma athletes. Jury deliberations in
the trial were scheduled to continue
today.

John Green, 25, and Lamont Har-
ris, 23, are accused of supplying
Thompson with cocaine in January
1989. Thompson later sold the co—
caine to an undercover FBI agent,
leading to his arrest and conviction.

Green and Harris are charged
with conspiracy to distribute co-
caine and cocaine distribution. Har-
ris faces an additional charge of use
of a telephone to facilitate a drug
transaction.

Thompson testified Tuesday that
he and former quanerback Jamelle
Holieway used cocaine several
times together. Switzer, then the
Oklahoma football coach, ordered
both players to undergo drug tests
in the spring of 1988 because Switz-
er suspected them of using the drug,
Thompson testified.

When they failed to take a test,
Switzer personally visited their
apartment and ordered them to do
so, Thompson said. He said he
failed that test and was ordered to
see a psychologist.

Thompson said he was ordered to
undergo a five-day drug rehabilita-
tion program after testing positive
three times in the spring and sum-
mer of 1988, and his parents were

notified. The alternative was to be
kicked off the team, he said.

Thompson testified that during
the time he was making cocaine
deals, he also spoke to younger footz
ball players and school children
about the evils of doing drugs.

“I never said I didn‘t do drugs, I
said they should say no to drugs,"
Thompson testified.

When he was arrested, he said
Holieway expressed concern on sev-
eral occasions that his name may
surface. Asked why Holieway was
concerned, Thompson said, “Some-
one may have had it in for him,

Defense attorneys questioned
Thompson about some accounts in-
cluded in his book, “Down and Dir-
ty: The Life and Times of Oklaho-
ma Football.”

Referring to one passage, Thomp-
son said, “I guess he (the co-author)
took it upon himself to add a spice
of dramatics.” He said one other
passage was wrong.

Thompson said Monday that he
sold cocaine to undercover FBI
agent Floyd Zimms at the behest of
Green, a former teammate, and Har-
ris, a former track star.

Zimms testified Tuesday that
Thompson arranged to sell him an
ounce of cocaine for $1,400. He
said he initially introduced himself
to Thompson as “Tony,“ a collector
of illegal debts.

Zimms sai'd he had several meet-
ings with Thompson before obtain-
ing the cocaine Jan. 26. 1989. Har-
ns’ and Green's names surfaced
when he complained to Thompson
about the amount of drugs he had re-
ceived, Zimms said.

“I called Charles Thompson at his
dorm room and told him he had

shorted me 11 grams," Zimms testi-
fied.

He said he eventually met with
Thompson, Green and Harris about
getting his money back or the 11
grams. The conversation was being
recorded, but a malfunction prevent-
ed almost all of it from being heard,
he said.

Zimms said Harris and Green told
him they would set things straight or
get his money back.

Another defendant in the case,
Kenneth Hill, 21, of Oklahoma City,
pleaded guilty Monday to a charge
of distributing cocaine, assistant
US. attorney Leslie Kaestner said.
Hill testified against Harris and
Green after making the plea.

Zimms said he also asked Thomp-
son if he could get a gun for him,
and was told he could. He said
Thompson would contact him about
drug deals and other things by call-
ing Zimms’ pager.

Thompson, who said he made
$100 from the deal, testified that
Harris had boasted of an Oklahoma
City contact who had an unlimited
supply of cocaine.

During closing arguments, de-
fense attorneys attacked Hill and
Thompson as credible witnesses.

Joe lankford, Harris' attorney,
said two-thirds of the prosecution's
case revolved around testimony
from them.

He said prosecutors were asking
the jury to believe Thompson, who
he said had lied to kids, his parents
and coaches about his involvement
with drugs.

“What kind of people are these?"
asked Joe Lankford. Harris‘ attor-
ney.

“The government is trying to
vouch for Charles Thompson.”

Staff Critic

Think for a moment the m0vie
critic who hated “Fantasia."

Consider that the critic is from
another planet, was an unloved
child and that the critic’s best friend
is Freddy Kruger.

So does the critic's opinion make
sense?

Now consider the dilemma of any
other ordinary movie critic who did
like the groundbreaking Walt Dis—
ney classic, which blended high-
brow music with low-brow visuals.
There’s only so much unique praise
that can be written about a 50-year-
old film that has been reviewed so
many times. Perhaps the best re-
viewing approach is to compliment
two aspects of the movie that have
little to do with the film’s style or
substance.

The first. concerns the impressive
face-lift “Fantasia” received. The
advent of laser disc technology, 35-
and 70-mm film size and improved
sound systems like THX ~— the
sound system developed by George
Lucas —— has enabled audiences to
expect any film to ltave a modem-
day look and sound, be it old or not.

Studios have responded by taking
such classic films as “Gone With

The Wind," “The Wizard Of Oz"
and “Lawrence Of Arabia" and re—
storing them to their original
forms. This recent trend is a vast
improvement from colorization,
also an attempt to make old seem
new.

“Fantasia” has a digitally-
remastered soundtrack, restored
footage and revitalized color using
original negatives.

Those refinements give the view-
er a good idea how film looked fif-
ty years ago, and that makes a film
that is more entertaining to watch.

The film's entenainment power
and timeless quality is the other as-
pect that deserves a good word. Be-
cause most children in the audience
were used to seeing the Ninja Tur-
tles hacking up pizza or Transform-
ers destroying killer cyborgs, there
were some quiet moments in “Fan—
tasia” that caused some children to
stir about uncomfortably. Yet over-
all, the kids were enthralled with
the colorful sights and sounds.
There are very few movies out in
which both children and adults can
be enthralled viewers, but “Fanta-
sia” provided many moments in
which parean and their children
shared laughs, surprises and some-
times just a simple feeling of being
awed by a movie that is capable of
making music come to life.
