Cheering on the team

By Joe Godbey
Staff th‘iter

Give me a C-A—T-S.

CATS! CATS! CATS!

Anywhere around a University
athletic‘s event, this cheer can be
heard.

This cheer hits especially close
to the heart of Mike Ergas. Last
year. Ergas was on UK’s national
championship cheerleader squad,
but in August he changed posi—
tions to head coach.

Like any other coaching candi<
date, Ergas had to submit an
application.

Because of his experience with
the sport, Ergas said the transition
from cheerleader to coach has not
been difficult.

“I already knew what to do and
what to expect,” Ergas said. “So it
wasn't too hard to step in."

While Ergas admits that being
national champions is a big
accomplishment, he does not con—
sider the competition to be the

top priority.

Cheering for football, basket-
ball and other UK sports come
first, but nationals remains one of
the team's goals, Ergas said.

“We have the best cheerleaders
in the nation, but anything can
happen on any given day," Ergas
said.

Being head coach for a nation—
ally competitive team has its
responsibilities and stressors.

“There are a lot more things to
think about, like being in compli-
ance with the band," Ergas said.

His past two years at UK have
been spent working on his mas—
ter‘s degree in sports management
and cheerleading. Writing his the—
sis is the only thing keeping Ergas
from completing his degree.

“I came to the University of
Kentucky because it is reco rnized
for both its academics as we 1 as its
cheerleading program,” Ergas
said.

Before he came to UK, Ergas
cheered for two years at LSU

where he earned his bachelor‘s
degree in Business Administra—
tion. He also competed in the
power tumbler competition in
1990 at the International Games
in Belgium.

Ergas stepped into the head
coaching job with a lot of talent in
his corner, and many of the same
team members returned this year.

But when you’re a former play—
er turned coach, there are other
issues to face.

“I guess the toughest thing I've
had to do is coach sotne of the
people I used to cheer with,
because friendships sometimes get
in the way," Ergas said.

Ergas. who has only been
coaching one month, plans on
staying at UK for the next couple
of years. If possible, he wants to
move into a position in the UK
Athletic Department.

“I would never leave the cheer-
leading pro ram without a good
person in cBarge, and hopefully,
I’ll stay at UK," Ergas said.

Council endorses merits of break

By Stephen Trimble
Senior Staff ll 'i‘Iter

The University Senate

Council

8‘) percent supported a reading period.
The technical aspects of the proposals, including

yesterday

costs and its impact on smaller colleges, still need

endorsed the academic merits of proposals to add a
two-day midterm break in the fall semester and a
two—day reading period near finals each semester.

But the council members elected to keep the pro—
posals off the floor of the University Senate until
they know how much the extra days will cost.

The council’s favoring votes - 5—3 for the aca-
demic merits of a fall break and 8-2 for a reading
period — were a surprise for Avi VVeitzman, the for»
mer Student Government Association director of
academic affairs.

“I wasn‘t confident, let’s put it that way," \Veitz—
man said, after the vote.

In a student referendum last spring, both propos—
als won overwhelming support. Ninety percent of

approval from the council, then a recommendation
from the University Senate, and finally support from
the University‘s Board of Trustees. The process
could take the whole semester and possibly longer.

Neither proposal can take effect for seven more
semesters —— or three and a halfyears — after, and if,
they are approved by the trustees.

The mid-term break stops classes for undergrad-
uate students on the first Monday and Tuesday of
October. The reading period cancels classes for stu—
dents during the last two days of dead week.

To compensate for the two lost days, the propos-
al calls for school to start on Monday, instead of
\Vednesday, on the first week of school.

Council member Bradley Canon, a political sci~

eiice professor, was one of two members of the
council to vote against the reading period proposal.

“I'm not convinced that this is as popular as the
referendum made it out to be," he said. The \agiie
wording oftlie i‘efct'endiiiii didn't let students know
that they would l‘i;i\c to ctilllt' ti) Ll.isscs tun days
earlier each semester. he said.

But A ’l‘IL‘lllttll‘t‘ l’i'ofcssor l.oys .\l.ither dis-
agreed. Class registration by phone. or the VIP sys
tem, has eliminated the need for the two extra days
at the start of each semester. he said.

A professor who spent almost 60 years of his life affiliated
with the UK engineering school was recently honored for his
contribution to the school and his hard work.

Former engineering professor, David Blythe, received a
call three weeks ago to attend a dinner in his honor.

“It was very nice to attend this dinner because it had been
organized by former students,” Blythe said. “I wondered why
I was being invited and when I found out, 1 was very happy."

About 75 former UK students and their spouses travelled
to Lexington to honor Blythe.

“I always thought quite a bit about him, and he was always
a friend to the students and he is considered to be one of
mine,” said W'illiam Mossbarger, president of Fuller, Moss—
barger, Scott and May En 'neering Inc.

Donn E. Hancher, cfi-lairman of the civil engineering
department, said a group of alutnni that live in the area decid—
ed to put on a special program honoring Blythe.

Prime SIIIIIS (IDWII

By Mara Spaldlng
Contributing Writer

The Prime system switched off
at 8 a.m. yesterday after roughly
15 years of service.

The UKPR, or Prime, system
has lost a large number of sub—
scribers to newer and more updat—
ed computer systems, prompting
administrators to discontinue it,
said Rick (Ihlopan, UK 'I‘echnical
Services director.

“Prime is obsolete and is there—
fore becoming too expenswe to
operate and maintain," (Zhlopan
said.

Since Prime has been at UK,
word processing has become more
advanced and the number of
micro—computer laboratories and
desktop computers around cam—
pus has eatly increased.

“\Veirope to have at least 1,000
desktop com uters before the year
is over, (,hfbpan said. T here are
more than 900 In service on cam—

us.

All files from the UKPR system
are no longer available, including
both personal and computing
tapes.

In addition to the antiquity of
the system, replacing the Prime
system allows UK’s computer ser-
vices to expand, (Ihlopan said.

\Vord processing, which was an
application that Prime lacked, also

will be available on UK’s new sys-
tems, (Ihlopan said.

Prime consisted of three main
functions.

Email allowed students to
communicate with people across
campus or across the country by
writing and receiving messages.
These services are now offered
through a separate computer sys-
tem called Eudora.

Introduction level computing
courses used the Prime system for
databases and software. These will
now be conducted with the use of
the Hewlett—Packard Unique
Server.

“It provides compilers and
database software to support class-
es at both the University of Ken-
tucky and Lexington Community
College," (Ihlo an said.

Prime‘s fina function included
text processing.

Log-ins from different systems
into Prime accounts have been
disabled, so users wanting to
retrieve a file must send to this
address: ukpr.uky.edu.

Primeword documents must be
converted before the files are
opened.

Users can contact the Informa-
tion Systems Help Desk at 257—

2249 for help.

the changes, the Help Desk is

“and reap tens of thousands of
dollars in cash savings.”

Parking is also a point ()f con-
tention with (llaxon.

(Ilaxon said students are not
the only ones suffering from UK's
parking problems. The environ-
ment is being banned as well, she
said.

UK is aggravating Kentucky's
air pollution problem by building
more roads and parking structures
instead of investing in mass tran—
sit, she said.

“Parking structures cost a lot

more, they encourage pollution,
and they don’t create long—term
jobs,” Claxon said.

Because Kentucky is less ener-
gy efficient than the rest of the
United States, Laitner said jobs
are being lost because residents
here have less money to spend.

“We can create an extra edge in
supporting Kentucky if we
become smart with our energy use
and being smart means more
money to spend,” Laitner said.

Students attendin the pro—
gram were impresse with Lait-
ner's ideas.

“Laitner is bringing a perspec-
tive that UK and the Bluegrass

need to hear,” SGA Senator at
Large Alan Aja said.

“I came here to learn how I
could be more energy efficient
and I not only enjoyed the pro—

ram, but I understand how I can
Eelp Kentucky be more energy
efficient,” said Jason Fannin, an
undeclared freshman.

Not only were students inter-
ested in how they could save ener-

y, but how UK as a whole could
Eldp out.

“I’m an avid environmentalist,”
Victoria Moyer, an economist
senior said, “and I’m interested in
what UK can do for the environ-
ment.”

\Vbo said rock ‘n' roll is dead?

Rock ‘n' roll is alive and kickin’
on Kentucky Educational Televi—
sion with public television‘s epic
10-part series, “Rock & Roll,” a
look at the ongoin r evolution of
rock music and t e innovators
who shaped it from the 1950s to
the I990.

“Rock 8: Roll" started Sunday
and continues throu h Thursday
on KET, Telecable ctfiannel 13, at
9 pm.

The series traces the story from
its wild beginnings to its modern
techno-driven present. “Rock 8t
Roll" attempts to entertain view-
ers using first—hand film footage
and interviews with the artists.

“Rock began as the music of
outsiders, the music of youth and
rebellion and freedom,” said
Executive Producer Elizabeth
Deane in a news release. “But it
has emerged the music that domi-
nates our culture, the soundtrack
for the last half—century."

Rich in interviews and rare
footage, the series give both off—
beat and profound context to the
music that continues to transform
our culture.

On Sunday, “Rock & Roll" fea—
tured the early years of rock ‘n’
roll in “Renegades." Performers
likeJerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry
and Little Richard lit up the
screen with ground—shaking 1950s
rebel rock.

Tonight’s features start out
with “Crossroads,” a look at how
the Mississippi Delta Blues influ-
enced a generation of rockers
from Eric Clapton to .limi Hen-
drix.

The second show tonight,
“Blues in Technicolor," expands

Set design takes ‘Miss Saigon' over the top

By Ted Jones

The thunderous hum of a
Huey helicopter, in a beginning
reminiscent of Francis Ford Cop-
pola’s “Apocalypse Now,” herald—
ed the Sept. 10 openin of“Miss
Saigon" at the Kentuc 'y Center
for the Arts.

This musical lobk at the Viet-
nam \Var has captivated audiences
in major cities all over the world
with its doomed love story
between an American soldier and
a Vietnamese bar girl set against
the fall of Saigon.

The curtain rises on Saigon,
about 1975, in a seedy strip bar
where a slick talkin proprietor

Vance leads readers tIlI‘OlTQII personal ‘Gai'den' (II [108th

By David Abner

Jane Vance writes beautiful
poetry.

Her first collection of )oetrv, A
Garden in Kentucky, published by
LSU Press, meets the two
requirements of all good writing:
it entertains and illuminates the
human condition.

Vance (the collection is pub~
lished under her family name,
Gentry) holds a joint appointment
in the English department and the
Honors Program at UK.

In a world that hurries and
“progresses” toward an unseen,
unknown and unquestioned goal,
Vance walks slowly, noticing leaf,
limb, petal, blossom and people.

In her title poem, “A Garden in
Kentucky," Vance contrasts the
artificial life in which we all, to
some degree, live. The existence
of an old couple that most would
consider, at best, quaint and at
worst, foolish.

However, with Vance as our
guide, we see the health and peace
of the second life versus the sham
and pretense of the first: “Under
the fluorescent sun/ inside the
Kroger, it is always/ southern Cal—
ifornia. Each morning, he
milks the only goat/ inside the
limits of Versailles. She feeds/ a
rooster that wakes up all the
neighbors.”

Most of Vance’s poems are
grounded deeply in a particular
place and a particular time. Read-
ers will find themselves in Ver—
sailles, downtown at the old Festi-
val Market, at the birth of Vance‘s
youngest daughter or with the
poet as she leaves her oldest
daughter during her first year of

on the blues theme and shows
how groups like Jefferson Air—
plane, the Grateful Dead and Pink
Floyd furthered the blues sound
into something totally different,
psychedelic rock.

\Vednesday's segment first
begins with “The \Vild Side," a
tour through the rock ‘n' roll the-
atrics of the '70s when bands like
the Velvet Underground and
David Bowie brought the deca—

ground into the limelight.

music created a rock ‘n’ roll revo—
lution in rhythm and attitude in
the ‘70s with innovators likejames
Brown, Sly and the Family Stone
and George Clinton.

The series concludes tomorrow
with “Punk," a look at two musical
creations that shaped rock
through the next decade: punk
and reggae. In New York City,
members of Blondie, Television
and the Ramones tell how they
accidentally created the sound
that became punk rock.
