Mother arrested
in carjacliinn abductions

UNION, S.C. — The mother who said a carjacker
dumped her on a lonely road and drove off with her
two young sons in the back seat was arrested yesterday
when the car was found in a lake with two bodies in it,
police said.

Susan V. Smith, who had made tearful pleas on
national television for the boys’ return, is in custody
and will be char ed with two counts of murder, Union
County Sheriff Howard Wells said.

The nine-day search for 3-year-old Michael and
l4—month—old Alex, which stretched from Georgia to
Seattle, ended where it began, in John D. Long Lake
near where Smith told police a gunman forced her
from the car Oct. 25 and drove away with the boys.

FOLKSTON, Ga. -— A military shell brought to
class by a high school student exploded yesterday
when it was dropped while being passed around, injur-
ing 12 students, three critically.

“These are very serious, devastating military-type
injuries. This is not the sort of thin you’d see on t e
streets of America,” said Dr. Davi Vukich, chief of
emergency medicine at Universi Medical Center in
Jacksonville, F la., just south of F0 kston.

Gregory Douglas, who brought the shell to schdol,
told students moments before it exploded that it was
harmless, saidJed Norton, an emergency worker from
Irwin Coun .

Twenty- ive students were in a class in a music-
appreciation class in a band room at Charlton County
High School when Shannon Chesser dropped the
60mm shell, Norton said. Residents a quarter-mile
from the school reported feeling the ground shake.

12 jurors sseattl in Simpson case

LOS ANGELES — Twelve jurors were seated yes—
terday to hear the murder case against OJ. Simpson.
A total of 15 alternates must still be seated.

After a grueling day of chesslike moves, lawyers set—
tled on a panel with eight blacks, one white, one His-
panic and two peo le of mixed races. Their ages range
from 22 to 52. Eiglit are women and four are men.

Scientists take his step In gene therapy

MADISON, Wis. — Scientists working with mon—
keys have taken a crucial step toward a new kind of
gene therapy in which tissue such as bone and blood
could one day be grown in the laboratory and used to
cure diseases in humans.

The researchers isolated for the firsttime embry—
onic monkey cells known as stem cells.

In two to four years, the cells could lead to the cre—
ation of genetically altered monkeys with illnesses that
mimic human diseases such as AIDS and multi le
sclerosis. That could advance the study of those dis-
eases.

Number oi iemale smokers rising
ATLANTA — Young black women have virtually

'ven up smoking while more young white women are
Fijghting up, endin what has been a quarter-century
decline in the num er of female smokers, the govern—

In 1965, one in three women smoked. Since then,
there has been a steady drop in the number of female

smokers.

Milli?! Bosnian Serbs lose strategic city

BUGOJNO, Bosnia-Herzegovina — Bosnian
Serbs lost at least part of a strategic town yesterday to
the first major combined military offensive of the war
by Muslim—led government troops and their Bosnian
Croat allies.

UN. officials could not confirm the fall of Kupres,
a town of 3,500 in central Bosnia that has been under
joint Croat-Muslim attack since last week.

But Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic admit-
ted his troops had pulled back, and media of all fac-
tions involved in the war reported at least part of
Ku res was in the hands of Croat or Muslim troops by
nig tfall.

Dylan's lone-time companion tiles slit

LOS ANGELES — Bob Dylan’s companion of
nearly 20 years is suing him more than $5 million, say-
ing she co-wrote his music and helped manage his
career before they broke up last year.

Ruth Tyrangiel “devoted all aspects of her life to
(Dylan’s) needs, interest and well—being,” she claimed
in a lawsuit filed Wednesday.

Tyran ‘el said she allowed the sin er and songwrit-
er “to ho d her out and she also held _
herself out as his wife,” and that he
promised to split his property with

er in the event of death or separa-
tion.

The relationship began in 1974
and ended in 1993, the lawsuit said.

Tyrangiel wants a monthly
stipend, half of Dylan’s still—undeter-
mined assets and $5 million in dam- Dylan
a s.

geThe lawsuit didn’t say which of Dylan’s songs
glyrangiel claims she helped write. Her lawyer, Gary

. Spritz, didn’t immediately return calls yesterday.

Dylan ublicist Elliot Mintz said yesterday that the
singer and) his attorn hadn’t seen a copy of the law-
suit. But, he said, the awsuit described in news reports
“is wholly without basis and is categorically denied.”

Bailey: Jones Sllfllllll abolish CHE

By Stephen Trimble

Executive Editor

Benny Ray Baile plans to take his fight against
tuidon increases to v. Brereton Jones next week.

The Student Government Association president
will ask the governor to abolish the state’s Council

. on Higher Education, which is the
policy-making body for Kentucky’s
public universities.

“In a way, the council is punishing
students for trying to make the Com-
monwealth of Kentucky a better
place,” Bailey said, adding that edu-
cated peo le tend to earn more
money, w ich results in more tax
dollars for the state.

More than 500 students protested
a likely tuition increase Wednesday afternoon, vent-
ing their anger by blocking traffic temporarily on
South Limestone Street and marching to the door of
President Charles Wethington’s office in the Admin-
istration Buildin

“I think (CHE. members) saw a lot of anger and a

 

 

 

lot of frustration,” Bailey said.

of the state.”

However, Bailey said he wants to shift
gears from activism to diplomacy.

“I plan to inform more than to protest
from now on,” he said.

Baile said he intends to get the atten-
tion of t e council members at their meet—
ing in Owensboro, Ky., on Monday
morning. At the meeting, the council is
likely to propose a 3.7 percent tuition
increase (about $40 per semester) for
1995 -9

Alison Crabtree, SGA governmental é
affairs chairwoman, said the only way Bai-
ley will be able to speak during the meet-
ing is if the CHE’s student representative,
Northern Kentucky University senior
Jamie Ramsey, yields time to Bailey.

Bailey said he will at least speak with
the council members between meetings.

till: poll shows tiissatisiac

By Susan Hebert
Staff Writer

Nearly a quarter of all central Kentuckians believe
Gov. Brereton Jones is doing a cor job, according
to a poll released yesterday by a Lexington Commu-
ni College professor.

he poll, which was conducted b students of
political science teacher Tim Cantre I, questioned
more than 2,100 central Kentuckians about a variety
of issues, ranging from the leadership of Jones to
US. involvement in Haiti.

Only 2 percent of those surveyed said Jones was
doing an outstanding job as governor, while 24 per—
cent said he was doing a poor job; 44 percent gave
the governor fair marks, while 2 3 percent rated
Jones’ leadership good.

Kentuckians were more divided over the leader-
ship of President Clinton. Fully 30 percent graded
his performance as r, while 6 percent gave him
outstanding marks. ore than 60 percent said Clin-
ton was doing a fair to good job.

Trends for both Clinton and Jones show that sat—
isfaction rates have dropped considerably since an
LCC poll last spring, when 36 percent of respon-
dents rated Clinton as “good” or outstanding.”

“That reflects a national mood right now against
incumbent liticians,” Cantrell said.

One of tf: questions in the surve asked about the
impact death row executions could ave on guberna-
torial candidates. ‘

About 5 3 percent of the voters said the would
have at least moderate support for a candidbte who
wuaht to resume the executions.

cil,” Miller said.

“We’ll just do them what they’re
doing to us,” Bailey said.

He also said he would ask the gover-
nor to strip the CHE of its powers and
set u a new system made up of elected

CI‘S.

“As of now,” Baile ' said, “there is no
method of recourse” or unpopular deci-
sions.

CHE Chairman
responded coolly to Bailey’s attacks and
UK’s student protest, saying he appreci-
ates that “students would make their
views known.”

He said legislators have the final vote
on all tuition increases, which allows vot—
ers “some method of recourse.”

However, Miller said his council is
necessary for the good of both public

universities and the state government.

Pests invading
South Campus

By Brenna Reilly
Stafl Writer

South Campus residents are
bugged — literally.

In recent weeks, ladybu s have
infested most of UK’s Sou Cam—
pus residence halls, crawling in
through windows and vents and
making their homes in students’
rooms.

Lee Townsend, an entomolo-
gist with UK’s Cooperative Exten-
sion Service, said it seems to be
worst in South Campus halls
because “the bugs are crawling in
more easier into one set of build—
ings than others."

Townsend also said the bugs

enerally concentrate around
fieavily wooded areas. The bugs
re roduce in the wooded areas, so
“t e closer you are to the source,
the more (bugs) you will get in the
buildin .” ‘

In t eir natural habitat, lady—
bugs live in cracks and crevices in
limestone. When they invade a
house, they usually are trying to
find a place to hide, Townsend
said.

Ladybugs do not settle down
for the winter like most insects,
but stay active all season.

“No one knows where they are
coming from," said frustrated Kir-
wan II resident Heidi Gregorini,

' ’ I. .f , an advertising junior. “They are

' ’ ; I) (3" ’ ,. ~ everywhere in our dorm."
q. .1 .,, I Accounting sophomore and
1 A m ' i " A Kirwan Il resident Carrie Kirk

said she’s probably killed about 80
of the insects.

“I was typing a paper and a
ladybug came crawling across the

paper,” she said.

Andrea Stone, also a Kirwan II
resident, said the problem is “real-
ly annoying.”

“They come to the windows
and fly around and knock into
stuff,” the accounting sophomore
said.

Several South Campus resi-
dents filed maintenance requests.
Tabitha Dotson and Gina Finnell,
both elementary education sopho—
mores, filed a compliant in Bland-
ing II.

Psychology sophomore Chure-
tah Meaux, a Kirwan II resident,
also filed a complaint.

“I was in bed and I woke up and
there were bugs starring at me,”
Meaux said.

“I kill one and all his brothers
and sisters come to get me."

Residents said they first spotted
ladybugs a few months ago but the
has problem increased in recent
weeks.

“It’s been about two months,
but it has gotten bad in the last
three weeks,” Finnell said.

Shirley Durbin, a staff assistant
at Kirwan Tower, said, however,
that there have no complaints at
Kirwan tower related to ladybugs.

Townsend’s advice to residents
with ladybugs is to sweep and dis—
card the bugs.

Ladybugs have a defense mech-
anism called reflex bleeding.

The bugs emit a chemical,
which gives off an unusual odor
and may leave a yellow stain, if
they are injured. To prevent this,
Townsend said, students should
gently brush the bugs into a bag.

A sign in Kirwan III advises
students to seal entrances where
bu 5 could enter and turn off all
lig ts when they are not in their
rooms.

“The person in the governor’s race that takes the
stron st stand in favor of the death penalty will get a
lot ofgfotes,” Cantrell said. “Crime is a big issue, and
peo le want something done about it.”

he poll also queried respondents on who they
favored for Kentucky’s next governor. Given a
choice between US. Rep. Scotty Baesler and Re ub—
lican Lexington attorney Larry Forgey, respondients
chose Baesler by a margin of 10 percent.

The number of undecided voters, however, was
relatively hi h: 23 percent said they favored neither
candidate, w ile 44 percent su ported Baesler and 34

rcent said they would vote fbr Forgey, a one-time

trustee.

The numbers turned to a virtual dead heat when
voters were given a choice between For ey and Sec-
retary of State Bob Babbage. orgey trai ed Babbage
by a mere 1 percent, with 31 percent of the respon-
dents undecided.

On the international scene, the poll found that 45

rcent of Kentuckians o pose U.S. intervention in
lifaiti; 38 percent favoredJ the invasion; and 17 per-
cent were undecided.

Cantrell said these findings surprised him.

“The Haitian situation is going so well. I thought
more people would favor it than oppose it.”

The poll, which has a margin of error of 2 per-
cent, was conducted by telephone Oct. 25 through
Nov. 2.

Each student in Cantrell’s class randoml selected
20 individuals from area phone books and tfien threw
out anyone who was not a registered voter.

Most of the respondents live in Fayette County,
but residents of Woodford. Jessamine. Mercer.

Boyle, Montgomery, Scott, Bourbon, Franklin and

About 5 7 percent of the respondents identified

Cantrell said the poll is good experience for his
students.

“They learn a lot about what the average person
knows about politics, and they learn that they know a
little more about politics than the average person
does.

PENSACOLA, Fla. -- A jury

L recommended yesterday that a

former minister get the electric

. chair for the shotgun slayings of

an abortion doctor and his body—
guard.

Paul Hill, a 4Il-year-old who
had claimed that killing abortion
doctors is divinely sanctioned and
had portrayed himself as a martyr
to the cause, showed no emotion

Ladies Center clinic on July 29.
Mrs. Barrett was wounded.

Vincent Heuser, one of Hill's
legal advisers, said a death sen—
tence would only further a cycle of
slayings.

“Murdering Paul Hill in
response to his killing to prevent
murder, I mean, this is stacking
killing on killing on killing," said
Heuser, a lawyer in Louisville, Ky.
“It's crazy. It's schizophrenic. It's
horrible."

their cause if he were executed.

“His hope and mine is that his
execution will save the lives of
many, many more children,”
Donna Bray, director of the
Defenders of the Defenders of
Life in Bowie, Md., said during
the trial.

Leaders of the National ()rga~
nization for Women and the Fem—
inist Majority said Hill shouldn’t
be executed.

Instead, they called on the gov—
ernment to do more to round up
anti—abortion terrorists.

Oscar, and her son‘s wife, Karen.
They declined comment.

Barred by the judge from argu—
ing that the slayings were justifi-
able homicide to save fetuses, Hill,
acting as his own lawyer, offered
no defense at his trial.

He put no witnesses on the
stand and asked no questions.

Howey er, he finally spoke
directly to the 12 jurors just before
they began weighing his fate.

“In an effort to suppress this
truth, you may mix my blood with
the blood of the unborn and those
who have fought to defend the
oppressed," Hill said.

“However, truth and righteous-
ness will prevail. May God help
you to protect the unborn as you

. would want to be protected.”

\Vielding a lZ—gauge shotgun,
Hill ambushed Dr. John Bayard
Britton, 6‘); his bodyguard, retired

Dec. 9. He acted as his own lawyer
at that trial too.

The federal law against using
violence or otherwise harassing
those entering abortion clinics was
prompted by the slaying in 1993
of another abortion doctor at a
second Pensacola abortion clinic.

Yesterday, Murray told the jury
it had a responsibility to recom-
mend death for Hill.

“The defendant had been
telling the doctor for the past six
months: Execute Abortionists,”
Murray said, referring to a poster
Hill used during anti—abortion
demonstrations.

“He had 30 rounds of ammuni—
tion in order to carry out his mur‘
derous rampage.

“You give him the same level of
mercy and compassion he gave
Dr. Britton and Colonel Barrett.”

Many abortion opponents have
denounced Hill and his use of vio-

some changes. “'e can impact on
this community and make it a
safer, better place to live," she
said.

Since her husband’s death, she
testified, she had to drop out of
their dance club.

“I said, ‘I can’t come back with—
out my dancing partner,’ ” she
said.

Hill was chased down within
minutes of the slayings at the
Ladies Center clinic after witness-
es pointed him out to police.

The Ladies Center clinic had
been bombed twice in 1984 and
vandalized in 1986 as this Panhan—
dle city became a focus for abor—
tion opponents.

Dr. David Gunn, who also per—
formed abortions at the Ladies
Center, was shot to death in 19‘} 5
behind another Pensacola clinic in
the first slaying during an abortion
protest.

passe’for GRE

By Stacy Schilling
Staff Writer

If you’re planning on going to
grad school and you’re already
stressed out about the Graduate
Record Exam, you should know
that the traditional test soon will
be a thing of the past.

But don't start celebrating.
Officials are just going to change
the way the test is riven.

Jose Ferreira, director of GRE
programs for Kaplan Educational
Centers, said that by 1997 stu-
dents will no longer be taking the
(iRE with pencil and paper.
Instead the test will be given on
computer, which Ferreira said will
make it cheaper to administer.

The exam is given to students
who plan to enter graduate school.

Colleges use the score as a way of

evaluating potential students.

The switch to computers offers
other benefits besides cost savings,
officials said.

The computerized exam will be

the test is given.

Students also will not have to
wait four to five weeks to receive
their scores.

Instead, they will receive them
immediately after the test.

However, there could be sever—
al drawbacks to taking the GRE
on a com uter.

The iggest disadvantage is
that only one question is given at a
time, which means students can’t
“skip around“ when they are stuck
on an question.

Students also will not be
allowed to return to a question.
Once the question has been
answered, there is no turning
back.

“The computerized format
doesn’t enable students to change
answers or mark up problems in
their test booklets,” Ferreira said.

“Many students find this format
intimidating and are simply more
comfortable with a paper and pen-
cil test.”

The computer constantly varies
the difficulty of questions.

Students will be given a moder-

But if the answer is wrong, an easi—
er question follows.

To prevent cheating, students
will no longer get a copy of the
answers to determine which ques—
tions they answered wrong.

Because the test is given every-
day, students could give the
answers to their friends who are
about to take the test.

Mark Prather, a communica—
tions graduate student, took the
traditional GRE in 1982.

Prather said he likes the idea of
taking the test on a computer.

“I would prefer to take the test
on a computer,” Prather said.

“It would be more efficient, and
we would get more feedback.”

But Mike Worth, a counseling
psychology graduate student who
took the test last fall, disagreed.

“I wouldn’t want to do it (on
computer), and I don’t like not
being able to go back and change
my answers," he said.

Worth also said he would only
take the test on computer if he

“We've been trying to take

it would be nice to put 10 wins on
the board."

end of a one week layoff for the
Wildcats, who last faced live com—

tational Tournament last week—
end.

The Cats split a pair of games
in the tourney, losing to Georgia
Southern 2-1 during a torrential
downpour and winning against
host South Florida by the same
score.

Going into the season's final
match, UK striker Toby McCo—
mas leads the \Vildcats in total
offensive production. The sopho—
more has scored 10 goals on the
year while dishing out an assist.

Tim Fisk and Brian Dausman
rank second and third respectively
in points. Fisk has notched 13
points on four goals and five assists
while Dausman has added three
goals and five assists for I 1 points.

Vanderbilt, which features a
10-6-1 overall record, comes to
Lexington counting on the play of
striker Tony Kuhn. The freshman

Basketball junkie
needs a quick fix

There's nothing quite like
spending a cold winter's night in
Rupp Arena: The roar of the
crowd, the intense play on the

' court, the jeers
shouted at the ref—
erees. It all seems
so perfect and so
poetic. Some-
times, I think
there's no place I'd
rather be.

as been especially
long and unbear-
able for me. So, like so many other
fanatics, I am counting the min—
utes until the \Vildcats tip off this
season in Rupp’s cordial confines.

My withdrawal symptoms have
become so strong these days that
UK's home schedule full of cup—
cakes doesn't bother me. The Cats
could face off against five Haitian
refugees every night and I’d be
there.

I guess I just can’t help myself.
There is something about college
basketball that drives me crazy. To
borrow from an . TBA motto: I
love this game.

College basketball has no paral—
lel. How could it? \Vhat other
sport culminates in a month of
nail-biting excitement deemed
“March Madness" and begins with
a wild celebration known as “Mid—
night Madness"? And what other
sport can boast of so many stun-
ning upsets and delightful victo—
ries in its play—offsystem?

Fact is, when the NCAA tour—
nament begins, every team in that
pool of ()4 has a chance to win it
all.

March has a special mysti ue,
no doubt. It's a time of year w en
the University of Richmond, a
lowly 15th seed, can knock off a
powerhouse like Syracuse. It's also
a time when a bunch of guys from
the University ofSanta Clara, who
couldn't make the big—time in
beach volleyball or surfing can
knock off Lute ()lsen’s mighty
Arizona \Vildcats.

It's a portion of the year when
college students and office execu—
tives become amateur bookies,
scramblin to organize betting
)ools an fill out tournament
bracket sheets. .

But, as we all know, March
Madness isn’t just about big upsets
and big bucks. It’s about big plays
too, like Christian Laettner’s last»

 

second miracles against Connecti-
cut and L‘K, and Chris \Vebber's
untimely time—out. Indeed, the
month has it all.

UK, I’ve have gotten way ahead
ofmyself. It seems I've skipped the
entire regular season and gone
straight for the championship. So,
I'll backtrack, because the months
leading up to March have much to
offer as well.

In November there are the
exhibition games, which provide a
satisfying fix for a junkie like
myself, and the pre—season NIT,
which features some top-notch
teams playing one another. The
NIT offers a brief reprieve from
the cream puff schedules that
dominate the early part of the col-
lege basketball season.

In December, you can find a
myriad of holiday tournaments
that can ret pretty darn interest-
ing. Cat ans will surely remember
last season’s Alaui Classic.

A last gasp Jeff Brassow tip—in
gave UK the tournament victory
and sent the team into a festive
on-court celebration. It even
prompted ESPN analyst Bill
Raftery to shout “Brassowl Bras-
sow! Brassowl" It was poetry in
motion.

After the new year is ushered
in, things get really interesting as
the conference schedules begIn.
ESPN starts its daily television
offerings «7 Big AIonday, Super
Tuesday, “'ild V’Vednesday, Big
'I‘hursday (those are FSPN's
names, not mine). Dick Vitale’s
voice infiltrates living rooms
across the country. I’TI’ers, Dia—
per l)andies and )hrases that end
in “baby” are suddenly all the rage.

John Saunders becomes one of my
closest companions.

livery game means something
to somebody, and every contest
exudes energy and excitement.
You can find the Cameron Crazies
cheering in Durham, the Thunder
Dome rocking at CabSanta Bar-
bara, and the Utes running in
Utah.

You can hear the echoes of rau-
cous student sections heckling the
opposition, the pep bands playing
“Three Blind Mice" in honor of
the referees.

You can witness the miraculous
threes, the heart-stopping dunks,
and the untamed emotions of
youngsters playing a game they
()VC.

All this is coming soon. I hope
you are as excited as I am.

leads the Commodores with 25
points on 10 goals and four assists.

Kuhn has been inconsistent at
times, but Vandy head coach
Randy johnson said when the
freshman is clicking the Com-
modores become a difficult team

“He has come in and done a
great job for us this year,”_lohnson
said. “He has some hot streaks
where he scores a lot of goals, but
he also has those streaks when he
shows his inexperience."

Vanderbilt plays a possession
soccer, which does not allow its
opponents very many shots on
goal, but Johnson said his goal
keepers have had a tough time
stopping the low number of
enemy shots aimed their way.
