Studets ready to
kick off ‘Just do
it blue’ weekend

By JAMIE WICKER
Contributing Writer

It‘s big, new and blue.

It's Homecoming, and this year’s
theme is “Just Do It Blue."

And students are doing every-
thing blue to get ready for home-
coming festivities, according to Ni-
cole Segneri, homecoming
chairperson.

More freshmen and sophomores
are helping with activities than last
year and Segneri attributes their in‘
tercst to resident hall assistants who
have recruited volunteers for home-
coming.

The Student Activities Board. the
Athletics Association, Office of Stu-
dent Affairs, and the Alumni Asso-
ciation are working together to make
Homecoming 1990 a reality, she
said. The result is a homecoming
that not only includes current UK
students. but alumni and the sur-
rounding community as well.

Excelsior and Wildcat Roar will
both be held Friday night. Commu-
nity events include Saturday’s
Wildcat Rally and parade, led by
Rick Pitino, UK men‘s basketball
coach. Both events will be held
downtown, making them more ac~
cessible to the community.

But some things won‘t be seen at
this year‘s homecoming.

Balloons at halftime, the fashion
show and the banner display contest
have been canceled.

The event. co-sponsored by the

tempt to let graduate students know
what types of organizations are
available just for them. The Niles
String Quartet provided entenain-
ment while students enjoyed re-
freshments.

Sometimes graduate students feel
a little lost at UK because so many
activities seem to be directed toward
undergraduates, said Jones. The fair
allowed students to get a look at
some graduate organizations that
they may not have known existed.

The fair also helped its sponsor-

Re-enactment teaches
students about history

By JOHN KARMAN
Contributing Writer

Many military history teachers can re-
count tales of fearful tire fights in Vieuram
to their students. but perhaps only Capt.
Gregory Walden, a UK instructor. can let—
lure on his personal experiences in the
American Civil War.

While it may seem impossible tor a true
Civtl War veteran to be teaching in W90.
Walden, 3-1. has had clashes that make him
the next best thing.

Walden has been a member of Ll (‘ml War
re-enacuncnt group since 1973.

“I've always been interested in history."
said Walden, a native of Grant County. who
has taught a class in military history for
three years. “I didn't know something like
this (a group devoted to reenactments) cx-
isted until I saw it in the paper."

Reenactment groups generated interest
and publicity during the 1980s, as history
and strategy lovers were drawn to an altcma-
live hobby. Walden said the past four years
have marked the period of the biggest rc-
cnactments ever held.

One of the largest annual battles was com-
memorated in Pcrryvrlle. Ky. on Oct. 7.

“Pcrryvillc is something we‘re pretty
proud of. because we‘ve been able to repro-
duce the battle at least to halt-scale." Wal-
den said. About LOGO people participated in

last Sunday's l’cmtillc rc—cnactmcnt. while
about 10.000 witnessed the cvcnt.

“lt‘s . lose as we can act to .i (’ivil \\ar
battle '.~lliltilll people .tclualli being killed.”
said Walden, with it laugh.

l’crryvtlle and other historical battles are
"scripted" tor the mdtvulual re—cnactmcnts.
This means that .tttions oi both l’niott .tttd
confederate \t)idlt‘l’s are dictated to provide
as close A representation ot the original bal—
llc as possible.

\nothcr type of re-cnacuncnt is tactical.
which 1\ a more unpredictable and unstruc-
tured situation. because the soldiers have
more freedom to make their own conclu~
stuns.

Walden said he t‘ll_|t)).\ scripted battles
more because they L loscly follow the histor~
ical event.

A lot of effort, work and study goes into
planning a successfully \‘CflplCd rc~
enactment, but Walden said he loves this as
pect of his hobby.

“I like the research involved in the scnpt-
ed revenactmcnts," he \‘Llld.

Without the research. the staging of a his-
torical battle would cnd in chaos.

Walden brings what he learns from his re-
search and experiences to the classroom.

 Babies not sucking bottles When it comes to pop

By MICHAEL L JONES
Senior Staff Writer

The Blake Babies are an eccen-
tric Boston trio known for their
snappy “sonic pop" and vocalist Ju»
liana Hatfield's siren~like voice.

It seems somehow natural that
they chose as their namesake Wil-
Iiam Blake. an eccentric English
painter and poet.

On the group’s first album, Ear-
wtg. guitarist John Strohm is almost
never heard. But backstage, before
their performance at the Wrocklage
Tuesday night, he was the talkative
one.

“Freda (Bonner) and l are from
Indiana, but we all got together at

The Berklee School of Music,"
Strohm said. "We were the weirdest
people there, and so we thought we
ought to play together."

Hattield, \\ ho also plays bass,
paced the room. stopping only to
stand on her head or meditate.
while Strohm talked. Bonner prac-
ticed With a drum pad offering oc-
casional comments on the bits and
pieces she picked up from Strohm‘s
conversation.

The band‘s second album, Sun—
burn, wdl be released soon on
Mammoth Records. Strohm, who is
a former Lemonheads drummer.
said that he is are pleased with the
new release because the group had

work on it.

“i get to sing more on Sunburn.
and I like that a lot," Stnohm said.
“We already have most of the mate-
rial written for our next album.
Some bands can go into the studio
with loose ideas. We have to have
the songs completely written."

Lyrically, the group dwells in that
same dark world inhabited by bands
like the Cure, the Smiths and Opal.
It is a world filled with selfish lov-
ers, disappointments and frequent
lights for freedom. The music from
Sunburn songs like “I‘m Not Your
Mother," “Temptation Eyes" and
“I’ll Take Anything“ washes around
Hatfield’s vocals like a moody, psy-
chedelic wave.

“I'm a mountain/I'm a rock/My
head is an empty mental block/You
can‘t get lovin‘ from stone she
sings on “I‘m Not Your Mother." At
the end of the song she chants,
“Anything you can do/l can do bet-
ter.”

The strangest song on Sunburn is
“Girl In A Box" which is sung by
Strohm.

“That’s the song I always hope
people don’t ask about," Strohm
said. “I thought Juliana and Freda
would think it was funny and it end-
ed up on the album. I got the idea
from watching TV.”

The show at the Wrocklage was
the first for the group’s two month
tour.

Tourney
date set;
golfers
want it all

By JEFF DRUMMOND
Staff Writer

For most athletic teams, simply
reaching a championship touma-
ment is the main goal of the season.

But for the UK women’s golf
team. satisfaction won't come just
by reaching the NCAA national golf
tournament —— the team wants to
win it.

So for each of the eight women
on this year’s Lady Kat squad, the
start of the national championship
— May 22 — is firmly etched in
their minds. The date marks the
opening of the NCAA champion-
ships.

“1 think we’re good enough to
win it (the championship),” said
Tonya Gill, a pre-season All-
America pick. “We won’t be satis-
fied with just an appearance. We’re

By BOBBY KING
Assistant Sports Editor

The future looks bright for the
UK men's soccer team. But that
hasn't always been the case.

After years of being ignored by
the University when it has peti-
tioned for varsity status, the day has
finally come for UK‘s soccer club to
make the jump. Next year the sport
will become the university’s 16th
varsity sport.

The status, and the perks that
come with it, will be worth the wait
for the squad. The days of player
coaches and piling into their own
vans to travel the southeast Wlll be
just a memory next season.

The team‘s volunteer coaching
staff, consisting of head coach Sam
Wooten and assistant Daryl Pater,
see the move as the culmination of
years' of hard work and growth in
the game’s popularity.

“I think there was a real thrust for
it from the community and an inter-
est from both inside the University
— from the (players) , and from
outside the University in seeing UK
take its place with Louisville and
WKU in Division I soccer,“ said Pa~

State University.

Wooten said the University's atti-
tude toward sports other than has-
ketball and football has changed a
great deal.

“With the aquatic center, the new
baseball stadium, and the tennis cen-
ter I think they (the (K athletic def
partment) are starting to get lll'
volved with minor sports here," said
Wooten. “In return I think that it's
going to bring a lot more morale to
the University and pride in some
thing else besides the major sports "

Unfortunately, interest truth the
athletic department is \‘(imClhlflL'
that has been lacking in the pml
Senior forward and club president
Charlie Rodes said the promotion in
varsity status has been lone mcr

due.

“It's sad that it happened now and
it has taken this long," said Rodcs.
“I attribute that to tforiner UK athv
letic director ,i Clitl Hagan. The club
president my sophomore year went
and had a meeting with him and he
said soccer would in". er be a varsity
sport as long as he was here. I think
(KM. Newton was the best thing that
tiinld eter happen to UK and its
programs.

“Soccer. lor right now, won't be a
money-making sport but it will self
support itself," he continued. "But
he was just so into moneyumaking
sports like basketball and football ..
he couldn‘t understand that a state
unnersity needs a representative in
all sports."

focused and we want to win it”

With overflowing confidence, not
to be mistaken with arrogance, the
lady Kats believe they have the tal-
ent and the experience to compete
with the top programs in the coun—
try.

“We have a stronger and more
balanced team than ever before,"
said Bettie Lou Evans, entering her
13th season as the UK women’s
coach. “This team differs from last
year’s in that they have depth. We
have eight girls on the squad, and
we could go with any of them at any
time. That’s what separates the good
teams from the great teams.”

Already this season, the Lady
Kats have shown they are a force to
be reckoned with.

Ranked ninth in a preseason poll
—- an unusual honor for a “north-

rn" golf team — the Lady Kats al-
ready have won one tournament, the
lady Seminole Invitational in Talla-
hassee, Fla.

The Kats also placed second in
the Lady Tarheel Invitational in
North Carolina.

“The hotbed for golf is in the
South, primarily in Florida, Arizona,
and California," Evans said. “It‘s
unusual for a team from this area to
be ranked so high, but we feel we
have a fine squad and are deservmg
of the ranking."

The Lady Kat roster reads like an
All-everything list.

- First, there’s Gill, a junior.
GOLFWEEK magazine picked her
as a preseason All-American pick,
and Gill has lived up to those expec-
tations. She has averaged a 78 at
UK and is expected to be a team

leader.

- Jayne Lohr, also a preseason
All-American pick, finished three
years ago as 13th in the nation —~ as

a freshman. Now, as a senior, Lohr s T E A K H o U S E

has the experience and consistency
to be one of the top golfers in the
country.

- Chris Miller, a transfer from
Texas Christian University and the
only other senior on the squad, has
shined in the Lady Kats first three
tournaments.

- Dolores Nava, a sophomore and
a native of Buenos Aires, Argentina,
could be the key to the Lady Kats’
success. Filling the fourth spot on
the squad, Nava gives the Kats yet
another fine player. Nava placed
25th in the nation last season.

' Lisa Weismueller, a sophomore
from Lexington, should be a great
player in the future, if not sooner.
Weismueller won the Kentucky
State High School championship
during her junior and senior years at
Henry Clay High School.

- Junior Laurie Goodlett and
sophomores Mandy Quattlebaum
and Meredith Loosse give Evans
what she calls her “most balanced
squad since we finished fifth in the
nation in ‘85."

“We‘ve always had two or three
good players," Evans said. “But this
year our top player can have an off
game. and we’ll have a No. 5 player
pick her up.“

Keeping spirit of
civic virtue alive
challenge for all

Anyone who has ever been on a retreat knows the feeling you
have when its over. You’re excited because you want to share
the int'omiation and ideas you were exposed to on the retreat.
Yet you also feel a bit depressed because of having to face the
real world once it's over.

Those who attended one of the lectures held by Robert Bellah
this week are experiencing similar feelings. Bellah, sociology
professor at The University of California at Berkeley, raised
Several important questions about where our society is headed
and what could be done to change it. Issues Bellah discussed
ranged from the state of the research institution to our nation’s
values.

’ Chancellor for the Lexington Campus Robert Hemenway re-
marked, “Our campus community will be the better because of
his visit." That depends on what the campus does about some
of the issues that were raised during Bellah’s visit.

The theme of Bellah’s visit was “Civic Virtue for the ’90s”
The topic is as broad and wide open as the modern research in-
stitution.

Last February, about 80 faculty met at the Carnahan House to
discuss teaching civic virtue in a university setting. That was a
good start, but until this week, the issue had died down quite a
bit.

The trouble with attacking the ideas brought up the least
three days is that we must approach them with a different per-
spective, not with the usual “bottom-line” mentality we are so
comfortable with.

The best way to confront these issues is through open dia-
logue, but that only works if faculty, staff and students make a
concerted effort to take the ideas to the next level.

At noon on Friday, Oct. 26 in 206 Student Center, the Office
of Undergraduate Studies is holding a brown-bag forum to ad-
dress those very issues. The meeting is a good opportunity for
the campus community to come together and talk about some
of the issues confronting higher education and society.

We also encourage student organizations, and faculty and
staff groups to continue discussion of these issues and search
for solutions. As Bellah remarked, the issues he raised this
week “are not programs. only things to think about." It is vital
to the soul of higher education that we continue to think about
them.

Keeping It Clean

Obscenity charges have turned into a social witch hunt

 

By Jen Saffer

 

I don‘t like 2 Live Crew. I find
Robert Mapplethorpe‘s work some-
thing short of brilliant.

OK, so I’m not a homoerotic/rap
fan. What’s my point?

My point is this: Just because you
don't like the work of an artist, mu-
sician, etc., or find it “obscene” does
not make it OK for you, the sheriff
in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla, or a small
gIOup of very vocal Cincinnatians to
go on a witch hunt and throw mu-
seum curators and record store own-
ers into jail.

“It‘s obscene” has become synon-
ymous with “I don’t like it." It’s OK
to not like 2 Live Crew, Mapple-
thorpe, Rembrandt or any other art-
lSl.

What is not OK is to censor what
we don't like, even under the guise
of “obscenity laws."

To cry “obscenity” is in vogue in
many American cities (Lexington
has just joined in the chorus), and
the obscenity trial is fast becoming
the McCarthy inquiry of the ’90s

But let’s take a step back.

What exactly does it mean when
something is “obscene"?

Well, according to the US. Su-
preme Court decision in Miller vs.
California (1973), something is ob—
scene if and only if “the work taken
as a whole” is contrary to “contem-
porary community standards."

Let’s see. As I said before, I don’t

like rap. But being from the Ft. Lau»
derdale area, when the controversy
began, I borrowed As Nasty As We
Wanna Be from a friend.

You know what? I hated it.

I had to force myself to listen to
side two. There are four-letter words
and there are references to unusual
and even violent sexual acts.

But you know something clse'?

 

To cry “obscenity” is in
vogue in many American
cities (Lexington has just
joined in the chorus), and
the obscenity trial is fast
becoming the McCarthy
inquiry of the ’903.

People in Ft. Lauderdale use four-
letter words. And some engage in
unusual and even violent sexual
acts.

I’m not advocating either of these
things — they do offend me —- but
it does seem that when something is
commonplace in a community, it
cannot be contrary to “contempo-
rary community standards.“

If it‘s not contrary to “contempo-
rary community standards," then ac-
cording to the Supreme Court‘s
1973 decision, it may be offensive.
but it is not “obscene."

Granted, Cincinnati is not Ft. Lau-
derdale, Fla, but even Cincinnati

has homosexuals they are part of
the community _ they help make
up “community standards."

One person then, or even a vocal
minority, cannot by definition con-
clude that something is obscene.

The bottom line is this: 2 Live
Crew may offend you. but unless
you live in a community (and I have
never heard of one) where people
don’t curse and have sex, then while
you can call their music many
things, you cannot call it obscene.

If record store owners can’t be
thrown in jail, what can be done?

Well, if you think rap music will

KENN UNTEWSlafl Artist
turn you into a twisted psychopathic
rapist, don’t listen to it.

If Robert Mapplethorpc’s work
offends you, don‘t go to the mu—
seum to view it ~ I promise the
museum won't come to you.

US. Supreme Court Justice Wil-
liam 0. Douglas wrote that “one
man‘s poison is another man‘s pas-
sion.”

Who are we to deprive someone
of their passion?
