UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY. LEXINGTON. KENTUCKY

ESTABLISHED 1894

 

By Gary Wull

Assistant News Editor

North Campus is noted for its quiet, studious
environment. The last two days the silence has been
broken by fires.

On Tuesday evening, a bulletin board on the East
side of the second floor at Holmes Hall was set on
fire. The next morning janitors in Holmes Hall took
down the burned bulletin board.

At 1:58 p.m yesterday, the Lexington Fire
Department was called to Holmes Hall to extinguish
another bulletin board fire on the second floor. This
time the fire occurred on the West side of the floor.

Major Karl Poindexter of the Lexington Fire
Department said the fire was not huge, but had the
potential to spread to other parts of the floor.

“I don’t know what the thrill is. Ifthey want to see
a fire truck they can come down to the station,"
Poindexter said.

Poindexter said some of the department personnel

s' *WV‘WW'W‘erv v «v Q‘ a- s . . .

have said this year has been more active than previ—
ous years.

Thou Ih the fire only burned 20 percent of the
bulletin board, UK Fire Marshall Garr Beach has
requested that all the boards in the buildin be
removed from the walls. He also asked that resi ents
remove any signs from the walls.

Beach said the fact that fires have occurred on
North Campus is surprising.

“In fact, three or four years ago we had a similar
type ofincident on South Campus, but overall things
have been very good,” Beach said.

Director of Residence Life Jim Wims said he is
very concerned about student safety in regard to the
fires. ‘

“As far as I’m concerned we’re taking a zero toler-
ance approach,” Wims said.

Wims explained that at the very minimum, the
guilty individual would have his residence hall con-
tract cancelled. The arsonist would then be disci—
plined by the Dean of Students office.

Most importantly, the individual would face crim-

inal charges.

“In my 20 plus years I've been in housing, I’ve not
seen-this many incidents in such a fairly condensed
period of time,” \Nims said. He said he was disap-
pointed that no one has come forward with informa—
tion. “I think there is that group of students that
would come forward ifthey knew it because they’re
frustrated and then there is another group of stu-
dents who have information but are reluctant to
share the information for whatever reason,” he said.

Holmes Hall residents are upset about the disrup—
tions in their hall.

“I’m upset that I have to sit outside in the cold all
the time and people are so childish they have to get
their kicks in college,” said integrated strategic com—
munications freshman Robert Horine.

Business freshman Shawn \Vimberly offered a dif-
ferent perspective.

“They wouldn’t burn their own home down, so
evidently they don’t feel at home. Maybe it’s the cur-
fewis they have with the opposite sex,” Wimberly
sai .

Heave Ho

Patton appoints
Hyland t0 OOIIIIOII

By Fred Shank

Contributing IVriter

Political Science senior \Vendy Hyland was
appointed student representative to the Kentucky
Council on Higher Education by Governor Paul
Patton.

The Council on Higher Education is a non—leg—
islative commission comprised of
, 18 citizens from throughout the

i state.

It is designed to govern the
eight public universities in the state
by setting regulations and approv—
ing funding for them.

Hyland’s first meeting with the
council is Nov. 10th, when the dis-
cussion tentatively will revolve
around the Commission on Education’s report on
high school restructuring and equal opportunity at
state universmes.

“My responsibility is to provide the student’s
perspective to the council,” Hyland said.

Student Government Association President
Alan Aja has worked closely with Hyland because
of her service on his cabinet as Executive Director.

He believes Governor Patton made the right
choice in selecting her.

“Wendy will be able to relate to the council
because of her professionalism and maturity. I
think that with her tools, she will be able to convey
what is best for the students in Kentucky,” Aja said.

Hyland, who is also a member of Alpha Delta Pi
social sorority, understands being a representative
is not her chance to pursue a personal agenda, but
an opportunity to be a voice for the students.

“This is not about me. This is about the future
of higher education in Kentucky,” Hyland said.

“I want to know how the students feel about the
issues and what we (the council) can do to improve
things.”

As a voice for the students, Hyland said she
hopes to bring a new slant to the council that will
look at each university and its programs from a
broader perspective.

The opportunity to work for and assist in shap-
ing the future of Kentucky universities excites
Hyland. She said she sees this moment in time as a
real opportunity for change in Kentucky higher
education.

“Governor Patton has said higher education is a
priority in his administration and I think there are
going to be some exciting changes,” said Hyland.

Hyland’s appointment concludes a long and
thorough search for a student representative.

Each student body president of a Kentucky
state university nominated three individuals each
thought would be good at the job.

Then the Board of Student Body Presidents,
throu h popular consensus, narrowed the field to
three or Patton to choose from.

Former SGA President Shea Chaney was also
one of the three finalists. The third finalist was an
undergraduate student from the University of
Louisville. .

College ol Agriculture's Barcel- Bay gives students a chance to glimpse future

By Ann Bodan
Staan‘ter

The Colle e of Agriculture held its annual Ag
Career Day ucsday, when a proximately 35 busi-
nesses and educators gathere to let students know
about their future.

The career day, like most, was filled with booths,
students and career opportunities, including intern-
shi and post-graduation openin .

an students were taking afiantage of the day
by zpeaLng with the representatives.

arric ynch, an animal science junior, went to
career day to see what compan representatives had
to offer. She said she cnjo the many different
areas that were representedvby the various compa-
nies. Before going to career day, Lynch did not have
anything specific in mind. Now, she is seriously con-

sidering two or three of the companies and hopes to
get an intemshi with one of them.

Warren Pin ton, a biotechnolog senior, was
also takin advantage of Career Day. e went to see
what kin s of jobs were being offered in his field.

Instead of taking a list of companies, like many
other students, Pinkston said he just started down
the line and introduced himself to the representa—
tives. The experience was good for him.

“Anytime you can come and talk to people
whether you get a 'job or not, you are always better
for the experience, Pinkston said.

The students were not the only ones who felt the
day was beneficial. The representatives were also
pleased.

Dennis Liptrap, from IPKY, a large pork farm in
Nelson County, said his company came looking for
people interested in production with offers for full

time jobs and summer internships. He said the day
went well and the event had a good student turnout.

Tyrone Gentry went to Career Day to represent
the UK College of Agriculture Cooperative Exten-
sion Service.

He was offering internships for students who
would like to be a county Extension agent in home
economics, agriculture and 4-H. This allows stu:
dents to work in Kentuc .

The da was successful for them too, Gen said.

Frank augn, from Southern States, a retail farm
store, said his company is represented at career day

augn said the day was very successful for his
company. He was also impressed with the students
who went this year because they seemed more con-
cerned about their futures than students in the past.

Study questions
cltort to end mos testing

WASHINGTON — A North Carolina effort
to end anonymous AIDS testing may be detri-
mental, su gests a study that found more people
were testegin counties that offered tests without
reporting names to state health officials.

North Carolina health officials disagreed with
the findings, reported in today’s American Journal
of Public Health, saying people with HIV et bet—
ter health care when the state knows who t ey are.

At issue is anonymous testing, under which
patients are identified only by a number, vs. confi-
dential testing, under which the state records
names on a list that, by law, is ke t private. State
workers use the names to track own people the
patient may have infected and to contact patients
themselves to offer health services.

Twenty-six states require re orting of names
of HIV-infected people. North) Carolina offers
both types, but the state Health De artment
wants to end all anonymous testing. lawsuit
attempting to block that move is pending in state
Supreme Court.

Silicon llallcy leads in import gains
WASHINGTON — Silicon Valley posted the

nation’s best export record last year, at least in
terms of dollar gains.

Rising international demand for computers
and other electronic products made San Jose,
Calif, the top metropolitan area with an increase
of $6.9 billion in foreign sales, up 34.5 percent
over I994. said a Commerce Department study
released yesterday.

The report, which showed how 253 metropoli-
tan areas stacked up in terms of trade, was an
effort by the administration to highlight econom-
ic benefits of expanded trade at a time when Presi—
dent Clinton’s trade policies are being attacked by
GOP challen er Bob Dole.

Dole attacied Clinton’s record last week, not-
ing that the trade deficit has widened every year
Clinton has been in office.

“Thousands and thousands of American jobs
are being given away to foreign countries,” he
alleged.

ll ol 1 players named in suit

LOUISVILLE — A former University of
Louisville student has alleged in a lawsuit that he
was beaten by five football pla ers during a pickup
basketball game at Crawford ym.

In the suit, which was filed Monday in Jeffer-
son Circuit Court,Jamie T. Page contends he was
attacked without provocation on Oct. 30, I995 .

Page alleges that he was severely beaten by Ibn
Green, a freshman fullback; Robert Bates, a junior
wide receiver; Rico Clark, a senior safety; Deran
Wiley, a junior cornerback; and Antuan Word—
low, who was a sophomore defensive back last
year but isn’t on the roster this year.

A grand jury last summer declined to indict the
players on second-degree assault charges.

The suit also names as defendants the universi-
3; its president, John Shuaker; football coach Ron

ooper; Daniel P. Keller, the director of its
Department of Public Safe ; and Melvin A.
Sloan, the equipment clerk at rawford Gymnasi-
um.

FBI: llalr samples matcll missing girl's

BOWLING GREEN — Sam les of hair
recovered where a body was foun in northern
Tennessee were consistent with hair of a 7-year-
old Bowlin Green girl who has been missing for
three mont s, the FBI said yesterday.

Hair samples from the remains were taken to
the FBI Laboratory in Washington, where they
were determined yesterday to be consistent wit
hair taken from clothing previously provided to
the FBI.

The hair samples are not a positive identifica-
tion, but it would be rare to find two people with
such similar microscopic characteristics, the FBI
said in a statement.

The FBI also said a red or maroon van was
seen near the Tennessee site on July 24, the day
Morgan Violi disa peared.

A woman to] law-enforcement authorities
that she saw a van at the site, but Robertson
County Sheriff Ted Emery said earlier Wednes-
day that the van did not match the vehicle used in

' the kidnapping.

Scholars share foreign experiences

By James Ritchie
Senior Stafl‘ Writer

Six UK faculty members who
studied and taught as Fulbright
Scholars shared their experiences
of studying and teaching in
Greece, Finland, (Ihina, Russia,
Kazakstan and Romania yesterday
in the Student Center.

Fulbright Scholars receive fed-
eral grants to spend a year con—
ducting research and teaching in
foreign countries.

President Charles T. Wething-
ton and Chancellor Elisabeth
Zinser were on hand to introduce
and commend the scholars.

Vasilios Evangelou received a
Fulbright grant to study in Greece
in 1995.

The experience at Aristotelian
University of Thessaloniki was

rewarding for Evangelou, an
agronomy professor who was born
in Greece.

“I felt it was quite a successful
trip,” he said.

The professor’s research cen-
tered on the potential of Greek
soils to irreversibly bind ammoni-
um, a lant fertilizer.

College in Greece might not be
completely different from life at
UK. Evangelou showed a picture
of a sidewalk at the university
where he worked.

Parked cars covered virtually
every inch of the concrete.

Tight parking was the least of
Michael lmpe ’s worries during
his third Ful right experience.
The professor of Spanish and Ital-
ian, travelled to Bucharest, Roma-
nia last year to continue his
research in Romanian literature.

Impey said Bucharest currently
resembles Naples or Na asaki
after World War II, wit the
blind, beggars and cripples lining
the streets.

“I would not suggest Bucharest
for other faculty members consid-
ering applying for Fulbrights,”
Impey said. “In six months I lived
ten years.”

Impey had an advantage
because he 5 wk: the language and
was marrie to a Romanian. He
described his trip as “intensive,
fruitful and productive.”

His research interests included
studying letters from prisons and
the re-evaluation of the novel in
Communist Romania.

Robert Lorch, a professor of
psychology, travelled to the Uni-
versity of Turku in Finland last
year to examine the cognitive pro—

cess underlying reading compre—
hension.

Lorch said the best parts of his
Fulbright were his interactions
with other people. The actual
research was “icing on the cake.”

Carol Buhrmann taught archi-
tecture at the Ural Academy of
Architecture and Arts in Ekaterin—
burg, Russia during her Fulbright
earlier this year. Buhrmann is an
assistant professor of architecture.

At the same time, Alan DeY-
oung was studying school reform
in Kazakstan. DeYoung is a pro-
fessor of educational policy stud-
ies.

John Rogers spent much of
1994 and 1995 in China teaching
law to graduate students at
Zhongsham University in
Guangzhou. Rogers is a professor
of law.

Halls, apartments get spooky
III brighten Halloween spirits

By Brandy Center
Staff Writer

The festive ghosts, witches and pumpkins
covering residence halls and apartments all
over campus are helping students get into

the Halloween spirit.

“Decorations get ever body in the Hal-
loween spirit. It's one 0 my favorite holi-
days because it marks the beginning of fall,”
said accounting freshman Rian Stames.

Some students were apathetic to the Hal- up

loween decorations.

“Halloween doesn’t really affect me
either way. It‘s just another day," said biolo-

gy freshman Mike Glassmyer.

For other students, llalloween holds spe-

cial memories from the past.

“I think it's cute that parents help their
kids decide what to be and it makes their
kids so happy for that one night,” said elec-
trical engineerin r freshman Beth Stokely.

To some llal oween is a favorite time of

year

“Halloween is my favorite holiday. It's
the one day of the year you can get crazy
and that’s why I love it,” said education

freshman Kim Carter.

EVANS'I‘ON, Ill. — When
fifth-year graduate student joe
Kraus checked his c—mail Mon-
day afternoon, he ex )ected to
find messa es from ricnds or
members ofghis listserv groups.

Instead, a message from “Tip-
'I‘oe00()1@aol.com" showed up
on his com uter desktop. It
advertised t e sale of child
pornographic materials, includ-
ing pictures and videos.

“I was just shocked,” Kraus
said. “I’m assuming it’s a prank. I
can't imagine anyone actually
doing this, because it’s a crime to
possess and market child
pornography. But even as a
prank, it’s a joke about some-
thing that’s just not funny under
any circumstances.”

In the message Kraus
received, the sender wrote: “I am
a fan of child pornography and
for the past four years, I have
been able to gather quite a col-
lectirm of it. I am now selling my
products (or trading for other
child rnogra hy). The mes-

an address to send order

Kraus reported the message
to Northwestern Information
Technology officials, who told
him they had already received
other complaints about the mes-
sage. In an e-mail to The Daily
Northwestern, NU Information
Security Coordinator Roger
Safian said Information Tech-
nology received about 25 com-
plaints about the message, but
only about three came from NU
students.

The message was sent to e-
mail account users all over the
world just after midnight on
Monday. It was sent from two
different America Online
addresses, Safian said.

America Online officials said
they don’t know how many users
received the messages, but Safian
estimated that the number was
“easily in the thousands” and was
also sent to other universities
and Internet service roviders.

“Has a real law en broken
here?” Safian said. “If I had to
make a quick guess, I'd say no.”

By LaShanna Carter
StaffWrrtrr

An intelligent, talented, opin-
ionated, outspoken, courageous
and challenging woman possessed
all these qualities and made the
American people love her. This
prolific woman was the great Zora
Neale Hurston.

The life and struggles of Zora
Neale Hurston comes alive in a
theatrical play about her life.

The National Black Touring
Circuit Inc. of New York presents
“Zora Neale Hurston" by play—
wright Laurence Holder, directed
by Wyn Handman and starring

Penn activist SBIS IIGI‘SBII ablaze

By Michael Raphael

PHILADELPHIA —— For
years, Kathy Change tried to
)ring attention to her message of
world peace by dressing in tight
T-shirts and thong bikinis, waving
flags and playing music around the
University of Pennsylvania cam-
pus.

No one seemed to listen.

On Tuesday, the students
couldn’t help but notice.

()n that day, the 46~year«old
Change calmly walked to a large
metallic peace symbol in the heart
of the campus, doused herselfwith
gasoline and set herselfon fire.

The suicide, carried out in
front of 50 people, was meticu-
lously planned as a final, last—gasp
attempt to draw attention to her
beliefs.

“My real intention is to spark a
discussion of how we can peace—
fully transform our world,”

Change wrote in a statement she
delivered to students beforehand.
“I offer myselfas an alarm against
Armageddon and a torch for liber-

M

Students who for years had
walked by her with indifference or
vague unease as she ranted on
couldn’t stop talking yesterday
about her Siectacular suicide.
They remembered little of her
message, though.

“It’s a tragedy," said Justin
Piergross, 22, as he sat a few feet
from the shiny peace sculpture. “I
think a lot of people just didn’t
give her any respect because she
was a bit different."

To 21-year—old Kate Saliba, a
Penn junior, the almost daily per-
formances were like a “show."
“People would be sitting by the
library and just cringe," she said.

“What was she against? Every-
thing,” said Ky‘le Bartlett, 24, a

raduate student from Little
ock, Ark. “Destruction of the

rain forest. Government with a
capital (2."

Throughout the morning, peo—
ple made their way across the Col»
lege Green and paused before a
shrine of sunflowers, purple lilies,
burningr candles and colored beads
left at the li-foot-higli peace sign
along with a balloon with the mes—
sage: “In memory of one who
lived and died in pain.”

Change was something of a
mystery. About the only thing
anyone knew about her is that she
listed an address in the city’s
depressed Powelton section in
“'est Philadelphia and that police
said she was from Springfield,
Ohio. It wasn't clear how she sup-
ported herselfor whether she had
any family, though in a radio
interview she once said that her
father was an engineer and her
grandfather a Harvard professor.

She had no connection to
Penn. The extent ofher education
was unknown.

TWA investigators plan BXIJIOSIOII
0f BBIIIBI‘ IIIBI tank to 981 answers

SMITHTOWN, N.Y. —-
Investigators plan to blow up the
center fuel tank of a scrapped 747
jetliner to help determine if an
explosion in TWA Fli ht 800's
nearly empty center iguel tank
could have caused the disaster, a
source said yesterday.

“It is the only way to show how
much dama e would have been
caused on Board,” the source,
speaking on condition of
anonymity, told The Associated
“ress.

The re-creation of the explo-
sion is expected to take place with-
in weeks in a Western desert, the

source said.

Shelly Hazle, a spokeswoman
for the National Transportation
Safety Board, said only that invcs~
tigators were considering blowing
up a center fuel tank. No date
seems to have been set.

From the wreckage of Flight
800, investigators have been able
to determine that the downed jet's
center fuel tank exploded, but
they have not figured out what
ignited the blast.

The tank had only 50 to 100
gallons of fuel, making it poten-
tially more volatile ifsomehow the
vapors became overheated and a
spark ignited them. But prelimi—
na testing by Boeing Co., which
bui t the 747 jumbo jet, seems to

bolster the bomb theory.

Boeing’s analysis, produced
several weeks after the crash, indi—
cated that an explosion in the fuel
tank itselfwould not have provid-
ed sufficient force to rip the plane
apart.

The NTSB wants to conduct
its own analysis rather than rely
on the manufacturer's findings,
the source said.

“The NTSB wants its own
proof, particularly since it’s such a
vital question that needs to be
answered," the source added.

Flight 800 had just left
Kennedy Airport for Paris onJuly
17 when it exploded and scattered
over the Atlantic Ocean 10 miles
off Long Island.

United States to allow humanitarian lliglit to Cuba

By Paisley Dodds

MIAMI — Four days after
Hurricane Lili smashed into
Cuba, the White House gave
approval for a single cargo plane
loaded with 70,000 pounds of
food, clothing and medicine to fly
directly to the island by the week-
end.

The emergency flight from
Miami would be the first since
Cuban MiGs shot down two
planes piloted by Miami-based
exiles in February, killing four. In
response, President Clinton sus-
pended direct charter flights to
Cuba.

Administration officials said the

waiving of the restriction does not
signal a change in policy toward
Fidel Castro’s communist govern-
ment.

“We thought the Catholic
Church made a very persuasive
case that they should be allowed
to distribute that aid directly,"
White House sp
