m Serbs release
52 Ml. peacekeepers

SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina — Serbs
eased their grip yesterday on U.N. peacekeepers,
while at the same time tightening the squeeze on
hard—pressed northwest Bosnia.

Bosnian Serbs released 20 British and 33 Dutch
peacekeepers, out of the 402 they were holding as
insurance against further NATO airstrikes.

Diplomats scrambled to find a way to overcome
a paralyzed peace process. French and British for—
eign ministers traveled to Belgrade to talk to Ser—
bian President Slobodan Milosevic, and a senior
U.S. diplomat met with the Muslim-led Bosnian
government in Sarajevo on the eve of a 52-nation
European conference in Budapest, Hungary, where
Bosnia was expected to be a major topic.

 

Gunmen lire on niphcluli in Sweden

STOCKHOLM, Sweden — Gunmen fired on a
trendy nightclub in the capital early yesterday,
killing three eople and wounding 21. Police
believe the kil ers were looking for revenge after
being turned away from the club.

The slayings were the latest in a string of inur—
ders that have shocked Sweden, which once experi—
enced very little violent crime.

Police raided the apartment of one suspect in a
working-class neighborhood south of Stockholm,
but no one was there. Police said two other men
also were involved in the shooting.

The nmen, dressed in military camouflage
jackets, fired an automatic rifle through the doors
and windows of the Sture Company discothe ue at
5:15 a.m., about an hour after a dispute wiili the
club’s doormen, police spokesman \Valter Kegoe
said.

A little slice of Quentin Tarantino
was about to enter the lives of about 50
people.

This incident, prior to a weekend
showing of “Natural Born Killers,” the
controversial Oliver Stone/Tarantino
satire starring Woody Harrelson and
Juliette Lewis, is a commentary in
itself.

The voice later said, “Isn’t that a
requirement to understanding this

Actually, the movie probably didn’t
need any help from illegal substances
to affect the minds of its viewers.
Meredith Nelson, chairwoman of
SAB’s Cinema Committee, said she
spent a lot of time deliberating over
whether to bring the film.

“It is a controversial film, and we

Expanding llll might help ease downtown woes

By Stephen Trlmlilo

Executive Editor

UK may hold the key to downtown
Lexington’s woes.

At a public symposium last night,
community leaders discussed with
about 60 members of the Central
Christian Church ways to improve the
downtown district, including expand-
ing UK’s campus closer to downtown.

“UK has the critical numbers to
make downtown a viable alternative,”
said symposium leader Robert Wise-
man, chairman of the Downtown
Planning Committee.

Like most US. cities, flourishing
suburban malls and businesses in Lex—
ington have taken a heavy toll on the
core of the community — the down-
town district.

Wiseman said in his opening

v «m...«.....ge g. 2.0 - . ..,

.‘I

“W...“ .-,

remarks that the Lexington’s down-
town area is vital to the community for
its historical and business purposes.

“The communi has a very strong
responsibili for owntown," Wise-
man said. “ e downtown district re -
resents the image of Lexington for c
rest of the nation.”

Among other things, VViseman said,
downtown brings in tourist dollars and
business tax revenue for the rest of the
community.

Therefore, Mayor Pam Miller
formed the current Downtown Plan-
nin Committee in summer 1993 to
stu ways for improving the district.

he committee determined that
downtown’s proximity to two universi-
ties — Transylvania University and
UK is one of the major strengths of
the area.

However, Wiscman noted that,

with the exception of the Kentucky
Theater, there seems to be an absence
of a consistent nightlife downtown.

Despite that problem, he said, the
theater especially has attracted large
numbers younger, college-age people
downtown, turning the district’s
appearance into like something out of
the movie “American Graffiti.”

UK recently opened the Student
Business Development Center in Lex-
ington’s public library downtown.
Wiseman said the project by UK is “a
good start, but we want to do more
than that.”

\Viseman turned a quote from Pres-
ident Kennedy into a pledge of sup-
port for a closer relationship between
UK and doWntown.

“We don’t want to ask what UK can
do to serve downtown, but rather what

a)... _.

downtown can do to serve UK," Wise-
man said.

Jack Morris, associate pastor at the
church, said a close relationship
between a university and its downtown
district can be extremely fruitful for
the entire community.

At his own home in Columbia, Mo.,
the University ofMissouri's campus is
nestled at the base of the downtown
district, providing local businesses
with consistent customers and students
with downtown conveniences.

The other panel members were Ray
Ranta, co-chairman of the Christian
Unity Task Force of Downtown
Churches; Kathy Pratt, Lexington-
Fayette Urban County Council mem-
ber; and TH. Peoples, pastor for the
Historic Pleasant Green Missionary
Baptist Church.

 

 

Michael Turner, servin r two 15vyear prison
terms for a 1986 Alabama bank robbery, escaped
Thursday from the federal courthouse in Kansas
City, Kan.

He had been taken to court for an appearance on
charges related to his Feb. 1, 1993, escape from the
maximum security federal prison at Leavenworth,
Kan.

Authorities believe Turner escaped from the
courthouse by using a fake in carved from soap.
Two guards were handcuffe to a pipe. and Turner
allegedly stole two guns.

U.S. Marshal Rand Rock said 30 deputies went
door to door warning people that Turner was dan~
gerous.

Pat Cooper is trying to dispel
some of the misconceptions sur—
rounding the \Vomen's Studies
Pro am at UK.

“ Vomen’s Studies as a pro-
gram is misunderstood," Cooper
said. “For one thing, we want and
need men. For another, the field is
expanding exponentially. It’s not
just related to humanities and
social science.”

Cooper was hired last year to
be the new director of the
Women’s Studies Program but
didn’t actually receive the title
until this year.

joEllen Kaiser, assistant profes-

instead to acquaint herself with

“It is not a simple case of men

are more complex,” Cooper said.

Cooper said understanding
how societies distinguish men
from women can explain how
scholars decide what to study and
which questions to ask.

Creating an atmosphere of
comfort in the classroom and a

important to Cooper.

Pearl Jam CO available at midnight

By Carrie Morrison
Campus Editor

Tonight, two local record
stores will bring Virology, the latest
from grun e gurus Pearl Jam, to
the midnigfit masses.

Cut Corner Records 8t Video
and Best Buy will offer the CD at
the discounted prices of $9.99 and
$9.96, respectively, starting at
midnight.

The stores will be extendin
business hours until 1 am. instea
of the usual 9 pm. to accommo-
date the anticipated crowds.

Phillip Francis, a Cut Corner
employee, said Pearl Jam fans
“won’t be disappointed” with
Vitalogy.

Cut Corner, located on South
Limestone Street, recently
obtained a CD single with two
songs from the new album,
“Tremor Christ” and “Spin the
Black Circle.”

“It’s a raw, angrier sound,”
Francis said. “It sounds really

 

good.”

Three years ago,
Cut Corner promoted
a new Guns N’ Roses
CD at midnight and
had a crowd of about
150. Francis said he
hopes UK students will
stick with the popular
campus haunt instead
of Best Buy.

strength of its win over UK, should be No. 2; UMass
dro s after losing to Kansas, but Kansas gains like
ma after beating the former No. 1; UK falls a couple
of notches, while Florida, having beaten Wake For-

sectional games? Classes.

Players, cheerleaders and managers have to
skip classes to travel across the country for such
matchups, the detractors say. This is a bad thing, they
msrst.

I suppose that’s admirable. It really is. After all,
student-athletes are students first, and the priority
here is supposed to be on education.

But let’s look at this from a student’s perspective,
shall we?

OK, here’s the deal: Let’s say Michigan is going to
play Arizona on a Saturday afternoon. (Don’t ask me
why they would be doing that anymore, considering
that every time they play, Arizona beats the living
hell out of the Wolverines. But this is hypothetical,
so we’ll pretend UM actually has a chance.) Michigan
flies out of Ann Arbor on Friday morning, spends
Friday in Tucson, gets smacked around on Saturday
afternoon and comes home Saturday night.

That adds up to roughly one day of missed classes.

One day.

A Friday at that.

And God knows everybody goes to class on Fridays,
don’t they?

I rest my case.

Jacksonville tops Vlltll

Matt Kilcullen’s former team
spoiled his debut as Western Ken-
tucky’s basketball coach.

Jacksonville pulled out a 100-88
double-overtime victory over the
Hilltoppers in a Sun Belt Confer—
ence matchup Saturday night in
Jacksonville.

“JU made the plays when they
needed to make the plays,” Kil-
cullen said. “When we had situa—
tions to put them away, we didn’t
do it.”

The Dolphins’ fans jeered Kil—
cullen with chants of “Go home,
Matt” as the double—overtime
game ended.

“Aw, I try to take myself out of
it,” Kilcullen said afterward. “It’s a
game. You prepare for it, you get
involved in it and you try to stay
focused on the game.

Carolina WllllBI'S llllnl' Illlllk!

CHAPEL HILL, NC. —
Charlotte Smith of North Caroli—
na became the first woman in 10
years to dunk a basketball during a
game yesterday, making a one—

handed jam durin a rout of
North Carolina A&T.

The 6-footer intercepted a pass
by Samara Dobbins and went in
uncontested.

Her right wrist cleared the rim
and Smith pushed the ball through
the basket just 17 seconds into e

me.

“The pass was just there, and
the whole time I was going out, I
was focusing on dunking and just
getting it over with,” Smith said
after scoring 22 points for the No.
5 Tar Heels in a 113-58 rom .

The last woman to dunk uring
a game was Georgeann Wells,
who had two dunks while playing
for “West Virginia in 1984.

Smith was already a Tar Heel
hero.

seconds left to be p North Caroli-
na beat Louisiana Tech 60-59 for

Favorites tall in first-ever Wooden Classic

By Jim O'Connell
Awaited Pres:

ANAHEIM, Calif. — One
Wooden Classic in the books and
it’s already a graveyard for
favorites.

OK, so the results weren’t real-
ly upsets, but the higher—ranked
team lost in both games.

Seventh-ranked Kansas beat
Massachusetts in its first game as a
No. l team on Saturday and then
No. 5 UCLA, feeding off a sellout
crowd at the Anaheim Arena that
got behind the Bruins late, defeat-
ed No. 3 UK.

The field was impressive and
the games com etitive, but laced
with typical early season mistakes.
Not bad for a rookie event named
for the man whose teams dominat-
ed college basketball as no others
before or since.

John Wooden looked uncom-
fortable being lauded by former
players, local politicians and the

evy of celebrities usually associat—
ed with a Los An eles-area gala.
Whenever he id speak, he

deflected talk awa from the 10
national championships his UCLA
teams won in a 12-year period and
tried instead to focus on the cur-
rent Bruins.

“There is never a reason to live
in the past," the 84-year-old
Wooden said. “You should always
learn from it and be proud of it,
but there's no reason to try and
live in it.”

UCLA (2-0) was hearing it
from the crowd as it trailed 77-69
with 4:18 to play. It must have
hurt Wooden to sit through that,
but he had to enjoy the final min-
utes as the Bruins won 82-81 on
two free throws by freshman ].R.
Henderson with .6 seconds to

lay.

“I wouldn’t have thought this
was a do-or-die situation. It’s early
December not March,” said
UCLA coach Jim Harrick.
