Republican COIIII'GSSTIIIIII candidates otter 80llltl0|18 to campus, national problems

By Lisa Klng
Contributing Writer

Congressional candidates for the 6th
District held an election primary
debate last night at UK’s Student Cen-
ter. The debate was sponsored by UK's
Colle Republicans, and featured
Repu lican candidates Mark Metcalf,
Dr. Ernie Fletcher and Anne Ros.

Metcalf is a Garrard County attor-
n , Fletcher is a doctor and Anne Ross
is rmer vice mayor of Lexington. The
candidates responded to questions
asked by debate panelists and by the
audience. The issue of racial tension on
college campuses was a major topic
among the candidates.

Fletcher said people should learn to

respect one another’s cultural diversity.

“I think there needs to be more
classes and more emphasis on the cam-
pus that accentuates the things we have
in common to bring that true brother-
hood together,” he said.

Ross said social tensions on campus-
es are caused in part by the Depart-
ment of Education.

“I believe that the greatest problem
we have in America today regarding
the roblems on college campuses has
to o with the federal government,”
she said.

Ross said the De rtment of Educa-
tion has encourage social problems by
dictating the role of education in local
communities. All the candidates agreed
that the department should play a lim-

ited role in our educational institutions.

Throughout the debate, Ross
stressed her 20 cars of experience in
government, w ile Metcalf set an
aggressive stance on beating congress—
man Scotty Baesler in the November
election.

“Scot Baesler better be looking
over his 5 oulder this fall,” he said.

The three candidates agreed that
lowering taxes and balancing the bud-
get was a high priority if they were
elected.

Fletcher said the present administra—
tion is undisci lined.

“It can’t balJance its own bud t,” he
said. “We as families have to ivc on
what we make.”

Metcalf and Ross showed support

..r~... 8...»-..

for Kentucky’s tobacco industry, while
Fletcher was more lukewarm.

“Tobacco is necessary, and we
shouldn't yank the rug out from under»
neath farmers and their families," he
said. “But we need to look beyond that.
I don’t think there’s a tobacco farmer
out there that would encourage teen-
agers to smoke.”

The candidates concluded the
debate with closing remarks that
echoed sentiments of hope for the
coming election. Ross was especially
emphatic in her ability to fulﬁll her
congressional role.

“ can win in the fall, and I can do
the ‘ob,’ she said.

he debate was the ﬁrst for Repub—
licans at UK in 22 years.

sums Sirens silent
before Berea’s tornado

Rl(il l.\l().\d), Ky. -— The $1 million worth
of disaster alert equipment in Madison (Lounty
—— including 33 warning sirens — was silent as
a tornado bore down on Berea on Saturday.

'l'hat's‘ because the county's Emergency
Operations (icnter in Richmond is only staffed
from 8 a.m. to 5 ).in. EDT, said Alerwyn Jack-
son, the countys director of the emergency
management agency. The tornado struck about
5:45 a.iu., )rompting officials to think about
extending the center's hours.

“This may be the grease that gets the cogs
moving,“ county Magistrate Larry (Zombs said.

Combs said yesterday that the county will
consider staffing the center 2-} hours a day.

“All the money that's been spent on the
FCC, and you can’t warn your )eople?" he
said. Two of Madison County's 23 disaster—alert
sirens are in Berea, where a historic section of
the town was hardest hit by the tornado.

A new member
oi the zodiac: Is
Ophiuchus legit?

By John Abbott

Senior Staff IVritrr

\Vhat's your sign?

Be careful before you answer that. If you talked
to UK astronomy professor Tom Troland, you
might discover that you aren’t the Aquarius you
always thought you were.

You might even find out that your sign is ()phi-
tichus.

“For a period of a few weeks the sun is not,
technically speaking, in any of the traditional 12
constellations ofthe zodiac," he said.

To say that the sun is “in” a particular constel-
lation means that the sun appears to rise in the
part ofthe sky occupied by that grouping of stars.
Wherever the sun is located when a rson is born
detemiines that person's sun sign. w ich is signiﬁ—
cant in astrology.

From Nov. 30 to Dec. 17, the sun rises in the
constellation Ophiuchus (oh—fee-YEW—kus), the
Holder of Serpents. It is also known as Hercules.

Troland likes to refer to those peo le born dur-
ing this period as “cosmic orphans” ccause they
weren't born under one of the traditional signs.

He also enjoys asking people in his astronomy

Mike Schellenberger returns for
his senior year after leading the
Wildcats in tackles with 104 in
1995. He spent most of the spring
battling pneumonia, but has
bounced back of late.

The linebacker corps took :1 hit
when Chad Hudson left school for
the spring semester.

Hudson is expected to return in

Until Hudson's return, Aliguel
Viera and Bob Holmberg are shar—
ing the backup spot behind Schel—
lenberger.

Salary

Leman Boyd will be back for his
senior season at strong safety after
ﬁnishing fourth on the team in
tackles in 1995. He will provide
some continuity to a defensive sec—
ondary, which suffered some huge
losses due to graduation, and the
injury ofVan Hiles.

Hiles, who will play free safety
this season was forced to avoid any
contact due to side effects from a
serious concussion he got against
Mississippi State.

\Vhen Hiles returns to full con-
tact returns, he will give the sec~
ondary another starter from last
season.

Kiyo \Yilson. a senior, has been
playing at free safety during Hiles'
absence. \Vilson played in every
game last 1ear mainly at corner—
back. He will be the third fiee saie‘

Reggie Rusk. Rusk was drafted in
