Hazing kills pledges,
says mother of Victim

By JOE BRAUN
Contributing Writer

Recounting the story of how haz-
ing by a fraternity killed her son. Ei—
leen Stevens told an audience of
700 new UK greeks how not to fall
into that trap.

Hazing. the forcing of pledges to
do abusive mental or physical acts.
is a common concern for many
members of fraternities and sorori-
ties. Greek pledges and members at—
tended Stevens’ lecture on hazing
last night at Memorial Hall.

Stevens founded the Committee
to Halt Useless College Killings,
which is nmrietl after her son,
Chuck. He was killed 13 years ago
after consuming an extreme amount
of alcohol as part of hazing practic-
es by his fratemity in New York.
Since that time. she founded
CHUCK and travels to universities
across the country with her message
about hazmg.

“1 travel to 35 or 40 campuses a
year. and 1 think that UK has one of
the most wonderful support systems
for students.“

Hazing is a violation of personal
honor. she said.

"Being a student at UK is an hon-
or." she said. “No one should be de-
meaned. degraded, abused or put
through any test of loyalty.”

During her address. Stevens
stressed such violations as alcohol
and mental abuse in the hazing pro-
cess.

"Ninety-nine percent of all hazing
incidents involve three things: alco-
hol. intense peer pressure and secre—
cy." Stevens said. Many people are
told hazing “unifies a pledge class,
builds character and — the saddest
of all —— ‘1 went through it' These
are all the wrong reasons to haze.“

Hazing was an issue at UK last
year after Phi Kappa Tau social fra-
ternity was suspended by then-
acting Dean of Students David
Stockham for three years.

The a1cohol~re1ated hazing inci-
dent was off campus and involved
Phi Tau‘s pledge officer, about 10
other members and the fratemity's
pledges — who were made to do
push-ups in the rain.

Although a minority of the frater-
nity took part in the hazing. the Uni-
versity Appeals Board in upholding
Stockham‘s decision said “all mem-
bers share a corporate responsibili-

A commitment that brought him from his Tennessee home to
UK's Lucille Markey Cancer Center yesterday.

“My real involvmcnt with cancer began in a Children’s Hospital in
Denver in the Leukemia Wing." Morris said. “To see these poor kids
who were struck down with leukemia. I guess we are all vulnerable
.. it attacked me. 1 jlls‘l made a committment to do some things with
my time that could help put an end to that."

In an effort to do )usl that. Morris toured the Center and met cancer
patients. hoping to gain a better understanding of the developments
the University is making in Cancer research.

“This Center is beneficiary to a concen we're domg. and 1 really
wanted to get an up close and personal view of what goes on here."
he said. “1 decided that this was a very noteworthy fatality and wonh
the effort to come and try and generate some dollars for it."

ty" for the hazing incident

“The Phi Kappa Tau incident sent
out a clear message." Stevens said.
“The administration’s willingness to
enforce the laws set the tone for
hazing. Students at UK are fortu-
nate to have an administration that
cares for its students' safety."

Thirty-five states in the country.
including Kentucky. have anu-
hazing laws. Kentucky law prohib-
its any action that “recklessly or in-
tentionally endangers mental or
physical health. or that require the
forced consumption of liquor or
drugs for the purpose of initiation
into or affiliation with any organiza-
tion."

It also is prohibited by the Uni-
versity of Kentucky Student Rights
and Responsibilities handbook.

Stevens repeatedly said she was
not opposed to fratemities and so-
rorities. only to the idea of hazing.

“One thing students need to re»
member is that you are legally re-
sponsible for your actions." Stevens
said.

Pledges and new members of the
greek system were told to report all
hazing incidents to the Dean of Stu-
dents Office.

“Just the Oilers and the Bengals."

The Oilers-Bengals usually
means that there’s a lot of pushing
and shoving and finger-pointing and
grabbing face masks and punches
and illegal blocks. Generally.
there’s not too much love between
these two teams.

The two sides were getting at it so
much that usually calm Anthony
Munoz, Bengals offensive tackle,
was penalized 15 yards for un-
sportsmanlike conduct.

“1 think l‘d be safe in saying that

99 percent of the men in this locker

Brian Blados said. “honestly really

A quick history lesson will tell us
that no team has ever lost its first
two games and advanced to the Su—
per Bowl. But the Bengals actually
feel they had, and still have, a
chance at football’s crowning glory.

“It doesn't matter when you lose
two games,” Wyche said. “This is
just two of 16 games. We could lose
the last two or middle two or split it
up.

“This team has a real chance to
do something special. We're not out
of it. not by a long shot. If you guys
count us out. then it will be you
guys that will be left holding the
stick."

Vitalc, who hosts a radio program
of literary readings and interviews
also called ”A Moveable Feast,"
points out that Ellis' milieu is New
York's Upper East Side and says:

“It has been said of the writer liv-
ing in New York, the subject is eve-
rywhere."

For his part, Ellis —- while being
a very funny writer —- seriously as-
sens that the black experience is so
broad now that “it‘s pandering for a
lot of urban. upper middle-class
blacks to write pretending that
they were born in a shack."

In the other half-hour videos, T.
Corraghessan Boyle offers a vision
of the Hudson River Valley; T.R.
Pearson explains how his four com-
ic novels give vorce to the South;
Chicago poet Li-Young Lee traces a
family of Chinese aristocrats turned
American clergy in Chicago; and

Sonia Sanchez focuses on race rela-
tions in Philadelphia.

Arguably. the most famous, or at
least enduring, of the writers pro-
filed is Allen Ginsberg. the beat
poet, who has written about his
mother's insane life and death in
New York City.

The series, which aired on PBS,
succeeds, too, because the writers
read from their work, giving view-
ers a little of their vision and pas-
sion.

Sanchez witnessed the 1985
MOVE conflagration in Philadel-
phia, where 60 homes were de-
stroyed after police bombed the rad.
ical group‘s fortified row house.
Eleven were killed, including five
children.

“This is a pan of our history,” she
maintains, and writes:

“Hurry on down to Osage Street.

“They're roasting in the fire.
“Smell the dreadlocks and black
skins roasting in the fire.

Oates talks of being not only the
sum but also the limit of one‘s expe-
rience as she recounts how three or
four men in the Princeton area think
they're the protagonist of her latest
book.

One even has jokingly threatened
to sue, but that’s unlikely. she says,
explaining:

“I think most novelists are like
magpies or crows. taking bits of de-
tails and ingredients from real life
and weaving them all together into
a kind of fanciful nest. And people
look in the nest and say. ‘Herc‘s an
old ribbon. That was mine.‘ or

“But really it's a complete gestalt.
andinasensedoesn'tbearany rela-
tionship to those same things out-

Ultimately. the series soars be-
cause it's not stuffy. It's for people
who are not prisoners of public tele-
vision (you know the other type —
“The only television I watch is on
”) should enjoy these videos and be
turned on to some exciting litera-
ture.

As Boyle, winner of the PEN—
Faulkner award for American Fic-
tion. says, literature can be “so her-
metic" when it should be fun, it
should be entertainment.

Same goes for these videos.
They‘re fun. They‘re entertaining.

Hemingway’s Idaho: The last good country

nest Hemingway. ’For Whom the
Bell Tolls

By RICHARD BENKE
Associated Press

KETCHUM, Idaho —— Back when
Ernest Hemingway lived in his well
fenestrated hillside house overlook-
ing the Big Wood River. there
wasn't another building in sight

Now development encroaches
throughout the popular Sun Valley
resort area. and Hemingway is part
of the reason.

His son, Jack. hopes to be part of
the solution. He‘s on the board of
the Nature Conservancy in Idaho,
and he believes his father, who died
here 30 years ago. would have ap—
proved.

“In his day. the word ‘environ-
mental' wasn't in common usage.
certainly,” Hemingway says. “His
feeling for the land essentially was
that it should be unspoiled. In
those days when some country you
loved was overrun with people, you
just moved on and found another
place. Idaho was sort of his last
stand: he wasn‘t going to move on.
He wanted to keep what we had

here as inviolable as possible. I
think he was a little depressed to see
more people coming, but even in
'61 when he died the growth hadn't
even begun.

“There was no environmental
movement. You just had a very
strong feeling about what should be
done with the land.

“He used to talk about good coun~
try. and this was gcxxl country. The
country around here, the sort of de-
serty country, reminded him a lot of
Spain, which was a place he dearly
loved. He loved the bird hunting
here in particular."

When the resort was being devel-
oped in the late l930s, Hemingway
and other celebrities were brought
here to promote it.

They stayed in complimentary
quarters. and resort officials guided
them on hunting, fishing and skiing
adventures —— and snapped publici-
ty photos.

Some came back periodically.
Hemingway most of all. And in
1958, when he could see he might
have to leave his Cuban home be-
cause of Castro's revolution, he
bought the Big Wood River house
where he ended his life on July 2,
1901.

The house. a replica of the Sun
Valley Lodge. was bequeathed to
the Nature Conservancy by Hem-
ingway‘s widow, Mary, who died in
I986.

Conservancy state director Guy
BonniVier has his office in the up-
stairs room where Hemingway
wrote such works as A Moveable
Feast and Garden of Eden. standing
at a wmdow overlooking the valley
toward the basalt outcroppings of

“When Ernest lived here, you
couldn‘t see another building from
this house." Bonnivier said as
walked through the imposing two—
story, poured-concrete house with
its dominating Windows.

over the fireplace and a mountain
lion pelt on the sofa.

Hemingway's deep-sea fishing
cap is on a shelf in Bonnivier's of-
fice.

The house and grounds are closed
to the public. a condition of Mary
Hemingway’s will.

Hemingway especially loved to
canoe down Silver Creek 30 miles
southeast of here on duck hunts. his
son says.

The Conservancy now owns the
Silver Creek Preserve. 3,000 acres
near the headwaters.

“It would be difficult for you to
find a desert spring creek in better
condition than Silver Creek.” Bon-
nivier says.

The private, non-profit Conser-
vancy also owns 8.000 acres close
to the confluence of the Snake and
Salmon rivers in the Hell's Canyon
area near the Oregon-Washington
border, 120 acres along Soldier
Creek. three miles of river frontage
in the Thousand Springs Preserve
and a half mile of Wood River
frontage which Bonnivier calls "the
Hemingway Preserve."

“There is all sorts of development
encroaching on the (Wood) river,"
Bonnivier says, a particular problem
because of the river’s tendency to
flood.

Home owners who have built
down in the flood plain have ri-
prappcd their river frontages with
protective boulders. altering the
course of the river and increasing its
speed, he says.

A group called Friends of the
Wood River instituted a program to
counteract ripraps with “drop struc-
tures" designed to slow the flow
and return it to its normal flood
plain.

The Conservancy, meanwhile.
wants to acquire riioie Wood River
frontage. “We want to get hold of
the pieces that aren‘t riprapped,"
BonniVier says.

The Nature Conservancy, some-
times called the real estate wing of
the environmental movement with
more than a half-million members
nationwide. acquires ecologically
sensitive land, then sets about reha-
bilitating it. In Idaho, the consonan-
cy has been involved in protecting
some 45,000 acres overall.

But the Silver Creek Preserve is
something of an anomaly.

“There had been no history in the
past of the Conservancy allowing
any public hunting on any of their
land. but it was really felt that this
was a traditional use," Jack Hem-
ingway says.

Bonnivier says hunters are ai-
lowed to canoe d0wn Silver Creek
three days a week, to shoot from the
public access riverbed areas to the
high-water line and to walk ashore
on Conservancy land to retrieve
their birds.

Besides ducks, Silver Creek has
long-billed curlews, wintering bald
eagles, visiting peregrine falcons,
breeding pairs of Swainson‘s Hawk
and sevcml owl species.

And there is the Wood River
Sculpin, a 2-inch-long bullhead~like
fish found nowhere else in the
world

Hemingway also loved Thousand
Springs along the Snake River 100
miles south of Ketchum, where the
birds favor the warm spring water
and the neighboring comfields.

“One of the phenomena that at-
tracted Hemingway was the
500.00() to a million mallards win«
tering there, but it still doesn't rate
itself as a primary flyway." Bonniv-
ier says. “And there are at least a
dozen other species wrntenng there.
The water is 52 degrees _— very
warm. especially when (the air) is
25 below zero."

It‘s pretty far north for wintering
birds, he says

“Those birds Just don‘t go any
farther south. They go from the
spring water to the com. the corn to
the spring water."

When the time came for Heming-
way to consider where he‘d live af-
ter leaving Cuba, his son says: “I
don't think there was any question
in his mind about where he'd go.
This was it."

He had worked on many of his
books during Sun Valley visits.
starting with For Whom the Bell
Tolls in 1939. and he had many
friends here.

Sun Valley erected a modest
Hemingway monument 25 years
ago overlooking Trail Creek. A bust
of him sits atop a pillar. On the base
is an inscription distilled from Hem—
ingway's eulogy for a friend killed
in a Thousand Springs hunting acci»
dent:

“Best of all he loved the tall, the
leaves yellow on the cottonwoods,
leaves floating on the trout streams.
and above the hills the high blue
windless skies. Now he Will be a
part of them forever.“
