By Jeti Vinson

Several UK staff members do
not think they have sufficient rep
resentation on the University‘s
Board of Trustees and have iiiaILle
several attempts at getting a mem-
ber of the board.

UK officials disagree, saying
that any more members will mike
the board bloated and unwieldy.

Representative Frnesto
Scoresone (D—I.exiiigtoii) liled the
hill marked as House Bill 83 that,
if passed would “add a non read»
ing personnel member, elected bv
the non tLaLbing personnel to the
University of Kentucky
Trustees; define non— teaLhing
personnel as a full- time
member, and exclude certain chiel
administrators."

Scorsone said The addition of a
staff member representative
would bean improvement for the

Board of

up for a vote by committee meme
hers.

“i haven't even talked to the
committee. but I'll give (the bill) a
shot," (Zurd said. "I will vote for it,
[don't know about how the others
will vote."

can ease tratiic W098

By Micah Logsdon

(.‘untrtlwttng H 3-m-

For years UK has been faced with a
fairly serious problem —— entirely too
much faculty and students and not
enough parking.

Parking and Transportation Ser-
vices officials believe they may have a
way to help case that burden. Starting
this semester, a car pool pro ram has
been organized to help refieve the
overflowing parking lots.

Don 'T‘hornton,Idirector of Parking
and Transportation Services said the
program s purpose is makel faculty and
students more receptive to car pool—
ing. Included in the proposal is an
appeal to the environmentally con—
scious and to the financially strapped.

““e wanted to provide students
and faculty with incentives for ride
sharing, " Thornton said. “\\’ith the
price of parking going up every vear
we wanted to provide a way for people
to save monev. '

Most everyone is eligible specifi—
cally those who live a mile or more
outside of campus.

Parking places will be reserved for
the participants.

Those sites will he marked for the
car poolers and will ensure they will
have a spot waiting. Car poolers can

drive themselves and at least two of

their pre—designated people their park—
mg spots.

Along with the space comes the
offer of assistance to motorists.

Jumps starts, a little gasoline, and a
tow (free of charge) to a service station
in the area, is provided.

Included in the program are little
conveniences to help students and fac—
ulty who can't make it to the Universi~
ty with their car pool buddies every—
day.

The parking office will handed out
car pool tags, making it possible to
park in a normal spot in your designat—
ed parking lot on those rare days.

(lar pooling, according to the ser—
vice. is also cheaper than the average
parking permit. it will save the people
involved $2 a month compared to the
the normal permit.

How many people will actually dis—
play an interest in and get involved in
the program is still guesswork?

“\\'e have received phone calls from
people interested in car pooling. but
we're uncertain as to what the
response will be to it," Thornton said.

There will be three car pool forums
held through out the end of the month
for people to \oice their conLeins
about car pooling.

For more information concerning
the loruiiis or the program in general
call Kathy Crawley at 357—5757.

All for financial
aid might he scam

By Chris Padgett
StaflI H’rim'

“Scam!" is being screamed by a few UK students
who decided to answer an ad promising quick fixes
for financial problems.

Cash for College, a grant and scholarship search
company, has been advertising in the Kentucky Ker-
nel, offering grants and scholarships immediately for
students with “no repayment ever.”

After calling the 1-800 number one will discover
the voice of a receptionist.

The receptionist will begin the conversation by
saying that if you are over 18 and have a checking
account that you may utilize the service by complet-
ing an application over the phone.

The receptiopist will then ask various questions

. .--- “.7,

such as ancestry, religion what your parents do and
then will tell you whether or not you are eligible for
a grant or scholarship award. The student also will
be asked for his or her checking account number.

One UK student who utilized the service was told
that she would receive her report in four days.

The student received an envelope in the mail
from the Blackbur , Va. based company after $96
was removed from er checking account. The enve-
lope contained nothing more than a federal Pell
grant application form.

“I felt totally betrayed,” said the student who did
not wish to be identified. “The lady on the phone
misled me and actually said that she was with the
University of Kentucky.”

David Stockman, dean of students, received one
com laint from a student who used the service.

tudents who are in financial need should utilize
the the services of the Financial Aid Office and
should not rely upon ads promising quick fixes,"
Stockham said.

Lynda George UK director of student financial
aid, said students should never use scholarship

search services who request payment in advance.

“Students should visit the Financial Aid Office
when they are having problems financially,"( ieorge
said. George also advised that students should never
give out personal information such as their soLial
security or bank account number over the phone.

“if students wish to use a scholarship search they
should request information by mail," George said.

George also said that she was contactin r the Bet--
ter Business Bureau as a result of the compiaints.

The receptionist gave a number of Cash for (Iol—
lege President Tony Montana in New York ( ity.
Montana could not be contacted yesterday because
the number was busy for several hours

Ellen Davis, a representative of the U. 8. Depart-
ment of Education in Atlanta warned that an stu-
dent who thinks they have been scammed should
contact the Office of Inspector General.

Kernel Media Adviser Michael Agin said if stu—
dents are being scammed, the Kernel wants to know
about it. He said he has not made any formal deci-
sions about the ad, but said it is being investigated.

“\Ve certainly don't want readers to be involved
in a scam,” Agin said. “But we want to have proof
that there is a scam."

I 0 F00t Pole calls it quits

By Brian Privett

.\i'luul’ .\‘mff if '1 Her

“Maybe it‘s like :1 wake." said ll) Foot l’ole bass
player Brian .\rnett, forecasting the mood of the
group's show at tiie \\'r1 icklage, iust a few hours
away.

The four members of if) Foot i’oie took .1 break
Friday night from setting up for tiieir last show
ever ~ 7 to rcilcct on their seveiir'year career.

The show should be packed, .1 fitting swan song
for :1 band that managed to breathe some life into
the music scene of this sometimes sedate, iiillt'dHN ik
ruled town.

\\'hen ll) Foot l’ole was at its best, it was gieat.
pounding out funky hasslines and 1.1/Iy melodies
with the accuracy of :1 smart bomb.

\\'hen the group was .1 little off. it was still good
.iiid funky, ii heir sense of humor lit‘t\.lllt‘tl above
any timing probletiis the guys may h.i\e had tliit
night.

After sey en years of mainly “on" nights. the guys
in iii Foot i’ol'e have decided to iiio\e on to other

the Wroclilage Years

From tiie very beginning, iii
Foot i’oie has FLItl an intimate
association with the \Vrtic‘k‘lilgt‘,
which opened 11p around the same
time the band settled into its line
up with Farris on drums.

\Vriicklage owner l);i\'itl lititict‘
says that even tiioiigh he was
friends with the group, frequently
scheduling it) Foot 1
good business sense.

“They iust always had :1 good,
consistent draw, everytime they played." he said.

it) Foot l’ole was, from about 1991 to l‘illi, the
most popular hand in Lexington, almost every show
seiiingoiit.

'i he group increased their popularity. fiist.
because of the addition of‘lfi'. on trumpet

Vlillt.‘ group had flirted with tiie idea of .1 hot n ii'ic
for ,I while .iiid _l,’li., another [is ~iaH ilaiid iluiii
nus, sat in with tiie band with some other iiiiisit 1.111s

“\\'e said, ‘ \iright \y e'll have one both play e1.”
said Quinn, "it \yasiia iust having

 

things, not to go ilieir sc iarate
ways. because anyone who knows
these guys or has ever seen tiiciii
onstage can tell they are the best of
friends.

“vhen they ieav e that stage
tonight. they won‘t be leaving eaeii
other behind, iust tiie named col
lective, iii Fan)! i’tile.

Before the show, the guys are
noticeably e\cited, but inst the
usual excitement of a band getting
ready to take the stage in front of .1
house ftili of people.

They have planned on this show
being rowdy, like a New Orleans
funeral; not a mourning of death,
but a celebration of the life of the
band.

“it will definitely be :1 celebrav
tion, that’s for sure," said trumpet
iiayerjohn Turner, or as everyone
knows him,_l.T. “Not like, ‘Yahoo,
the band's oyer,‘ but one last time
to do something with people that
you love,"

Although they are approaching
it as iust another show, and tiiey
try to show their nonchalance, you
can tell these guys are excited
about the last time they will play together. and .1 hr
tie sad.

“There are no regrets. it‘s exciting, but it feels
normal to me, so f:ir,"_i.'l‘. said. “Yesterday. .ill my
friends were going on a big ramble .ibout the show
and everything, and i said, ‘Man, i haven‘t even
thought about it vet'"

the Birth oi Funk

10 Foot Pole guitar player and singer Billy
Quinii met Arnett, who lived in the same apartment
building, in WRB. .\rnett was playing bass in .1 hand
called The Resurrected Bloated Floaters, .i ptiiik
hand that practiced in .\rnett's basement apartment.

The two started playing together with Floaters
drumtner Brian Pulito'after Floaters‘ practice ses
sions. They played a few gigs without :1 name, the
first being at Songwriter s .‘ight at The Bottom
Line, :1 sort of amateur night feature every Monday.

But something was different about this group
that played a couple of songs every Monday ‘JLT The
Bottom Line, they had a sound yet unheard of in
Lexington, funk. .

The Lexington scene at that time had two types
of hands, punk and laugh, R.F...\l.—type college rock
hands. Bowling (ireen hand (ittVCT‘nl‘HCI‘IT (Ilieese
played at The iottom l.ine regularly and national
groups like i).R.l. came to town to'play' the punk
haunt, Babylon. Babylon '

\Vhen i’ulito was replaced by .\rnett's friend
i)ave Farris, who he knew from the ['Klan Band.
the if) Foot i’ole lineAup was solidified (until the
addition of_i.T. in l‘)‘)l) and began to draw bigger
and bigger crowds at each oftheir shows.

Fat: 1 member ofthe trio added .1 different aspect
to the 1() Foot l’ole sound.

Quinn was influenced heavily by _limi Hendrix,
:\rnett was tryin 7 to emulate the bass technique of
Flea ofthe Red iot (Ibili Peppers and Farris was
mainly a jazz drummer. \Vhat came otit ofthe mix
was :1 lone, funky voice, grooving against the punk
and hardcore bands.

The members of if) Foot Pole never set otit to
become Lexington's only funk hand. They were iust
playing the music the way it came out.

“it wasn't a conscious thing,” Farris said. “i don't
think we ever sat down and said, ‘\Ve're going to be
a funk band.‘ it was iust something that ha ipened."

For .\rnett, playing funk was something that
came from deep inside.

“\Ve're iust funky people," he said. “Everything
we play comes otit funky. it's not like we can play
anything else."

This innate ftmkness turned out to be a very pop-
ular ift.

“ fter about :1 year, in the spring of Wt“), we
would look out on the crowd and iust say, ‘Sea of
Heads,’ the people were packed in so close togeth—
er," Quinn said.

Funk also turned out to be popular with the
musicians in Lexington, because soon after [0 Foot
Pole started playing out, bands like Red Fly Nation
and Groovezilla formed, replacing Lexington‘s rep-
utation as a punk town into a funk town.
