University to test phone registration this summer

 

By Brian Bennett
Senior Staff Writer

 

The long lines of class registra-
tion and Add/Drop may be a thing
of the past, as students soon will be
able to complete those frustrating
processes by telephone.

After nearly five years of plan-
ning, UK will begin testing tele-
phone registration this summer dur-
ing advance registration for the fall
semester. Full implementation of
the system is expected to be com-
pleted by November for students
registering for spring 1994.

Once in place, the system will al-
low students to do virtually all of
their registration and Add/Drop ac-
tivities by phone.

The idea of phone registration has
been tossed around since 1988, said
Randall Dahl, University registrar.
Dahl said he had hoped to have the
system in place for fall 1993 regis-
tration in March, btit there were too
many details unexamined.

Dahl said UK still is working
with a vendor to build the system.
He estimated the cost at about
$150,000. Despite recent budget

cuts to UK, he said the price is well
worth it.

“This shows that the University,
even in these difficult financial
times, is committed to improving
services to students."

Students will have about three
days to call and register, Dahl said.

Also, he said, students may call
as many times as they wish during
their period for registration. This
basically allows them to Add/Drop
during registration, he said.

Dahl said phone registration will
offer many other benefits besides
not having to stand in line. With the
telephone system, registration and
Add/Drop will be kept open as long
as 13 hours a day, compared to
only eight hours with the current
process.

Telephone registration also will
allow for longer periods of Add/
Drop. Dahl said Addflhop may be
held for as long as six weeks, and
students may call as often as they
w ant during those .\I\ weeks, allow»
ing for more opportunities to get
classes.

Students don't even have to he
on campus to use the system. Dahl

Dead crows at UK
result of poisoning

 

By Tyrone Beason
News Editor

Emily Fried was one of a number
people upset to find dead and dying
crows scattered about campus yes-
terday, the result of an effort by
Lexington-Fayette Urban County
Government to reduce the crow
population in downtown.

“This is awful. They’re just fall-
ing out of the trees," she said.

As Fried approached a murder of
dead crows in a grassy area near the
Fine Arts Building, one plummeted
from a tree branch and hit the
ground with a hard thud.

“Oh, my God, look at this," she
said, surveying the other crows
nearby. “These two are already
dead."

Fried, a freshman at Henry Clay
High School who practices at UK
each Sunday with the Central Ken-
tucky Youth Orchestra, said not
only do dead birds present an eye
sore for the campus, killing them is

“inhumane."

“l wish there was something else
we could do. I don’t think poisoning
them is the answer."

The product used to kill the birds
is DRC-l339, a slow-acting toxi-
cant that is placed on bait, like
whole kernel corn, said Bemice
Constantin, district supervisor for
the US. Dcpanment of Agricul-
ture’s animal damage control divi-
sion. Birds feed on the poisoned
bait and die three hours to three
days later.

However, he said the birds do not
feel any distress. The birds excrete
the chemical before it begins to af-
fect their kidneys, lulling them to
sleep before killing them.

More birds may die today from
Saturday‘s baiting, he said, but “not
to the degree you saw (yesterdayi."

Constantin said the birds are not
harmful after they are dead and may
be disposed of in a trash bin. He
said studean who encounter the
dead birds may call the police, who

said students can register from ”any

the pay phone at 7-] I."

But will the frustration of stand-
ing in line be replaced by the frus-
tration of constant busy signals?

Dahl said UK will liayc as many
as' 72 telephone lines available.

avoid problems.

“With the number of lines availa-
ble, except for a couple of time pc.
riods, I‘d really be surprised if stu-
dents have a lot of trouble in getting
through.” he said,

The problem will be lessened
when students get used to the pro
cess and make shorter calls. he said.
Dahl estimated the length of the call
to be anywhere front two to three

will inform the division.

The birds that died on campus
were from downtown, where the
roosting problem is occurring. Con-
stantin said the birds flew to cam-
pus, even though they hadn’t done
that in the two months that the divi-
sion was studying them.

"(The baiting) didn't occur on
campus," Constantin said. “There
was no way we could control where
they flew."

 

Svoboda
enjoys

students’
chanting

By John Kelly
Sports Editor

Todd Svoboda strolled down
Maxwell Street with four of his
buddies Tuesday night.

What a night it had been.
Twenty-four thousand some odd
folks had just buried him in ado-
ration. Thousands more had just
watched him play basketball on
national television, probably in-
cluding his own family, Mom and
Dad, up in Cincinnati.

It may have been his best
game, although an early season
matchup with Georgia Tech
might rival it. In that game he had
scored six points, his UK career
high. But it was Tuesday‘s fan
support that he enjoyed most.

“That was the loudest the
crowd was. so that was probably
better," Svoboda said. “But the
other game. my dad was at.
They’re both kinda special to
me."

After dealing with the media
horde Tuesday — teammate Tra-
vis Ford had to save him, joking,
“You want me to escort you out,
Todd?" the senior transfer
went out the back door. walked
up Patterson Street to High Street
and turned toward Upper Street.

Wildcat fans just adore him
here. his fellow students especial-

ly. Maybe it‘s because he's some-

UK to play basketball alone. He's

tour the grounds herself, Roberts
said she met several students dis~

Mayor holds
familiar View
of University

By Brian Bennett
Senior Staff Writer

 

 

Alter ll years of being led by a
UK graduate and former Wildcats
basketball player. Lexington has a
new mayor who is neither a UK
alumni nor a Kentucky name.

But Pain Miller says she consid-
ers herself “part of the UK commu~
nity." And like her predecessor,
Scotty Baesler, she holds many of
the same views when it comes to
matters concerning UK. including
caring for the University's econom-
ic well-being and the refusal to
close down Rose Street.

Miller took over as mayor last
month after serving as vice mayor
the last three years and 14 years on
the Lexington-Fayette Urban
County Council. She will finish off
the term of Baesler, who won the
6th-district congressional seat in
November‘s election.

Miller says she sees no pressure
in succeeding the popular and pow-
erful Baesler.

"Every person does this job dif-
ferently, and he did it extraordinari-
ly well," she said. “But l have a dif-
ferent personality. and l relate to
people differently. i think every-
one‘s ready for a change."

her husband, Ralph, landed a job at

Cultural center continues
to give sense of identity

 

By Ernest A. Jasmin
Staff Writer

 

Students who use the Martin Lu-
ther King Jr. Cultural Center as a
place to study, have meetings or
just to hang out may not be able to
imagine campus life without it.

However, before 1986 there was
no such place black for t K students
to gather.

The Cultural Center was opened
in January 1986, after a group of
concemed students lobbied for a
place on campus that would reflect
a sense of African identity on cam
pus.

“It was a really valuable educa-
tional and political process for stu»
dents who went through the process
of lobbying for the cultural center,"
said Chester Grundy. director of
Minority Student Affairs.

Students who worked on the ef-
fort had to convince both lt‘lltm
students and the highest levels of
administration that the cultural cen-
ter was necessary, he said

Frank Walker. program coordina-
tor for the cultural center. was one
oi the students who lobbied. He rc-
members vividly the center‘s early
days.

Walker said he and others work-
ing with Grundy as their adviser
had to put the cultural center togeth-
er piece by piece, “We purchased
every single book one at a time,” he
said.

At the same time organizers were
putting the center together physical-
ly, they were putting together pro-
grams.

The center at UK was based on
similar cultural centers at other uni~
versities.

Since its founding, the center has
had a positive impact on student life
at UK and has helped “build bridg-
es" between the Lexington commu.
nity and the University. Walker
said.

He said the cultural center is a
place where students have been
able to interact face-to-face with
people like Coretta Scott King and,
more recently, film maker Monty
Ross and lecturer Eraka Rouzaron-
du.

It also is a place where students
and organizations can find books.
magavines‘ and information about
people of African descent that are
not available in the Margaret l.
King Library. he said.

There are a number of people
w ho come to [K from com munities
where there are not a large number
oi non-white people. and the calm
ral center helps combat negative at:
tittidcs. Walker said

“What they belies e about immore
itiesi is based on what they leani
from the mass media. which is. in
most cases. negative stereotypes."
Walker said. “The cultural center
has had a significant impact on the
improvement of race relations and
actually getting the word out."

The center also has helped to
case tensions and “erase a lot oi
mistruths anti stereotypes about At-
rican people." he said.

“We celebrate Black History
Month l2 months a year," Walker
said. “it's challenging trying to
keep people‘s attention focused on
our activities when they have al-
most been brainwashed to think
they can only celebrate the contri-
butions of Africans and African de-
scendants during the month of Feb—
ruary."

Ky. legislature convenes

By Charles Wolte
Associated Press

 

FRANKFORT, Ky. — Thc Kcn-
tucky General Assembly convcncs
today inside the Capitol but also un-
der a microscope.

It will be tackling a problematic
issuc — governmental ethics — at a
time when legislative actions and
motives have been subjected to con-
tinuing scrutiny because of a feder-
al corruption investigation.

State Democratic Chairman Gra-
dy Stumbo warned that the citizen-
ry was “almost at the point of de-
manding different rules for public
conduct" and a curb to the influence
of money in politics.

Ethics reform, for local govern-
ments as well as the legislature and
executive branch, is the dominant
theme for this special legislative

session — the first called by Gov.
Brercton Jones.

Some notable proposals for self-
clcansing have been advanced: An
end to political action committees.
Lower limits on campaign contribu-
tions. New restrictions on lobbyists.

Perhaps most controversial is a
proposed “no cup of coffee" rule,
meaning no state or local official
could take anything of value — not
even a cup of coffee —— from a lob-
byist or someone doing business
with governmcnt.

Thc proposals came. from a task
force of legislators and gubernatori-
al aidcs. though its members were
hardly unanimous on the dctails.

The House and Senate commit-
tees on state government will hold
hearings on the issue this week.

Lobbyists for city and county
governments already have clamorcd
for exemption. And neither commit-
tee chairman — Rep. Ramsey Mor-
ris of Hopkinsvillc, Sen. Joe Meyer
of Covington —— has been enthu-
siastic about the task force‘s work.

Kentucky Headhttnters
Rave 0!:
Mercury Records

 

By Dave Lavender
Arts Editor

 

The man could do it all. He could
juggle bowling pins, ride a unicy-
cle, whip an audience into a frenzy
and sing up a Kansas dust storm.

What more could a man want?

Unfortunately, at least for them-
selves, God did not bestow upon
Ricky Lee Phelps and his Arkansas
traveling sibling. Doug, a very big
helping of that stuff that rhymes
with fence.

In the absence of Ricky Lee (for—
mer lead singer) and Doug (bassist),
the Kentucky Headhunters are strut-
ting their blues walking all over
their new release. Rave On.

Being the well-raised country
folk they are, not even Ralph Em-
ery could get the Western Kentucky
native Headhunters to utter a cross
word about the dearly departed
Phelps who went their separate mu-
sical ways during the summer.

Instead, the Headhunters went
back to the country as Neil Young
would put it.

No. these furry-faced rockers
aren't getting mellow. They simply
went back to the “practice house" to
find a new bassist.

The “practice house" being a
white-frame t\vo»story house that
the Young brothers. Richard

ffil)[illll giittaristl and bred (drum-
mer) were gixen by their grandma
Effie Young to make music in.

It was here in Whit the two broth-
ers started Itchy Brother, a blues.
based rock band with cousins Greg
Martin (lead guitarist) and Anthony
Kenney (bassist).

When brothers Phelps decided to
jump ship on June 2 of last year. ll
didn't take long for the Grammy
Award-winning Headhunters to bid
them bon voyage and bring two am-
ple replacements on board.

They made the transition quicker
than George Jones’ set at Rupp Are—

 

 

na, which landed, time-wise, some-
where between a drag race and a
Baptist wedding.

In fact, before the sun had set
Kenney and former Itchy Brother
vocalist Mark Orr were back in the
same unit that got ignored by major
labels in the late i970s and early
‘80s.

While Kcnney merely tightens
what was already one of the best
rhythm sections on the road, Orr, a
Vietnam veteran who survived
Hamburger Hill, is the most notice-
able change. Like Sammy Hagar-
ch Van Halen versus David Lee
Roth-led Van Halen, the Headhunt-
ers have taken on a distinctly new
sound with Orr, whose scratchy vo-
cals are whiskey bent and blues
bound.

Orr may or may not be the
vaudeville-flavored front man
Ricky Lee was, but when Orr
stomps and snorts for Martin’s gui-
tar to “start walking," your audito—
ry nerves stand at attention anti sa—
lute one of the best “new" vocalists
to hit Nashville in a while.

Like fellow country, blues man
.loc lily. it‘s good to see a ran smg~
er With a Dixie-fried soul and a set
of sandpaper vocals that make the
majority of country's new; pretty-
boy vocalists sound like they lust
stepped oil the Vienna Boys Choir
tour bus.

While. the Headhunters have
made a rather substantial living off
of blowing the cover off of such
standards as Bill Monroe‘s “Walk
Softly on “its Heart of {\line,‘~ and
“The Ballad of Davy Crockett"
they show on album No. 3 a ra~
zor’s-edged songwriting flair that
slices through on such tunes as
“Freedom Stomp“ and “Muddy
Water."

Call it 22 Top meets Bob Dy-
lan‘s “Subterranean Blues" at the

 

end of the alley. But the Headhunt-

ers simply call it “Freedom Stomp,‘

a properly-titled romp that blows
out the woofers and tweeters with
Orr’s machine—gun lyrics laced with
Martin‘s smooth. finger-picked lead
and Richard‘s rowdy rhythm guitar.

For those searching for a weepy
“God Bless the U.S.A.” ballad, look
elsewhere, ‘cause these non-black-
hat-wearing boys may walk softly,
but they carry big and loud Les
Pauls.

Just call this tape and tour, “The
Tissues Tour.” No steel guitar. No
ballads. No wife leaving. No dogs
ran over by a train. Just rock ‘n‘
roll.

As if the devil or a demented bar-
her was on their tails, Orr and the
band kick around Bill Monroe‘s
“Blue Moon of Kentucky" with the
energy of the Motor City Madman.
Ted Nugent. Obviously, someone
forgot to tell 'em it isn‘t supposed
to kick in until about midway
through the song. Oops.

Leaving no doubts as to where
their musical loyalty lies, the hairy
hunters ptit the same Dixie-licking
on Carl Perkins' “Dixie-fried,“
“Just Ask fo‘ Lucy" anti their first
single and video, “Honky-Tonk
Walking." a succession that makes
one yearn for a time when country
was westem and Lynrd Skynrd, the
Allman Brothers and Molly Hatchet
stalked the ground from \lemphis
to Muscle Shoals.

with l.ynrd Skynrd, ilails V\'llil the
lk‘llilt’il} that cooked “Spirit in the
Sky" on [Electric Barnyard. H|\
clean tone anti slide work makes
you feel as if Duane Allman didn‘t
leave us all together.

Perhaps. the most compelling
aspect of Rave ()n is its message. It
doesu t have one. The Headhunters
don‘t delve into “We Shall Be
Free." world-peace lyrics or syrupy,
watered—down, down-home back-
wash. They simply crank out a Du-
mas Walker-sized platter of slaw-
burgers, fries and a bottle of Ski.
and wash it down with the best
Southern rock ‘n' roll in the land.

What do YOU want?

Mavis. is that really
the best greeting you
can come up With? It‘s no
wonder 50 many of your
child customers run
away screaming.

 

 

 

Hip- hop group Pharcyde take bizarre ride on album

Pharcydc
Bizarre Ride II the Phurcyde
Delicious Vinyl

 

By Ernest A. Jasmin
Staff Critic

 

Willi its debut album Bizarre
Ride II the Phurcyde, Los Angeles-
based rap group. the Pharcydc, dis-
plays a sense of humor as bizarre as
— well * “The Far Side.”

But can the Cary Larson cartoon
boast of ”phat" beats and mellow,
jazzy samples? Can it boast ofocca-
sional backing from label mates, the
Brand New Heavies?

In a word, this albutn is slammin‘
and much overlooked for more mar-
ketable hip~hop moncymakers like
Ice Cube and Rcdman.

The group’s first single “Ya

 

 

 

is a tribute to that African-
Amencan art form H the mama
joke. Sotnc of the jokes may be fa-
miliar to listeners. but the song is
still good. (How about this one ——
“ya mama has an afro with a chin
strap")

The rest of the album is a blend
of different styles. There’s the mel—
low feel of “4 Better or 4 Worse,"
contrasted by its twisted lyrics.

There‘s the sing/rap style of one
of the album's better tracks, “Otha
Fish."

There is even ”Return of the B»

Mama"
