Funding only elevator SOIlltiOll

UK burdened
with many key '
campus projects

By Mat Horton

(.‘ampua‘ Editor

Much time may pass before the ele-
vator in Kirwan-Blanding Complex
Commons becomes a reality. “unless
someone comes up with the funding,"
Auxiliary Services Director Allen Rie-
man said.

UK has already allocated funds for
major renovation projects. Among
them are new emergency sprinkler sys-
tems for the residence halls; ethernet
lines in the residence halls for e-mail
and Internet access; and air condition-

in in Holmes. Keeneland and Jewell
ha ls. and the Boyd-Patterson Com-
plex.

Because these projects —— some of
which are only iii the beginning stages
of construction —» take iriority. the
elevator issue will likely take a backseat
for a while. Rieman said.

The lack of an elevator won't even
be that bi of an issue when the “CT.
Young Liifirary opens Jan. 2. Reiman
said. The library will house its own
computer lab. and disabled students
will have easier access to it.

“\\'e don't have any handicapped
students" in the towers. said Rieman,
who said he has received complaints
about the Commons from groups
attending summer conferences at UK.

“They’re either in Greg Page or on
North Campus."

Still. Student Government Associa—
tion President Melanie Cruz said dis-
abled students' needs should be dealt

with more quickly.

“1 don't think it‘s fair." Cruz said. “I
still think we‘re excluding a part of the
community — even though it's a small
portion of the coiiiiitunity."

Part of the problem with funding the
proposed elevator project. Rieman said.
is that UK Housing and Dining systems
generate their own money for projects.

Not even allocated money stipulat-
ed in the 1990 Americans with Dis—
abilities .-\ct goes into those depart—
ments. Cruz said.

Rather, the money goes toward the
White Hall Classroom Building and
existing facilities. she said.

Therefore. housing and dining fees
would have to increase for Capital
Construction to take on a new elevator
projects and other renovations to resi-
dence halls. Ricmaii said.

Finance senior David Mast said the
increased fee is a small price to pay for
total access w for all students.

“I think it‘s important for all the
students to have access to all facilities
on campus." said Mast. Holmes Hall
director. “If that‘s what it takes. 1
would have no problem with it .ii all."

Overall. the construction e\pcnse
for L'K will be no small amount: \ir
conditioning in North (Iampus \\lll

cost almost S.— million. SI .3 million of

which L'K spent to get the chilled
water line iiiio l’uelid. 'l hat project
will go belore the state legislature in

January l‘NX.

The L niversity will .ilso spend all
million per building on insulation.
excluding lila/ci' Hall. because the
halls are so old. Rieman said. Plans for
the ethcrnct installation. which (joins
puting Services is also involved in.
won‘t be tiiiali/cd until December. but
Ricman said it will cost about SS milv
lion.

Sprinkler systems are slated for
installation next summer.

SBI‘VOS
OTIIOI‘S

By Scarlet Consalvi
Smfl~ H 'riter

As students begin to fill LlK‘s
campus this fall. finding a place to
fit in may be a difficult and intimi-
dating task. Many groups around
campus make this process easier for
new and returning students. One
such group is the Circle of lmani.

“\Vithin our organization we
support ourselves, each other. and
our community," said Crystal
Spruill, agricultural en ineering

graduate stutfent and
Circle of lmani presi-
dent. "I believe when
we feel good about
ourselves we posi—
tively influence our
environment."

The group was
founded in 1993 on
UK's campus by six
black women who
were having a rough semester.
said KelleeJames. Spanish senior
and Circle of lmani vice president.

  
 
 
 
 

“These six women struggled to
establish an organization that
encouraged the spiritual and men-
tal steadfastness that had been the
foundation of not only the African
American community, but the
American community." Spruill
added.

According toJuanitaJones. psy-
cholo _ graduate student and Cir-
cle o lmani founding member.
“The whole purpose of Circle of
lmani is to give validity to ourselves
as African American women."

Spruill creditsJones with writ-
ing the group's constitution. Jones
and the other founding members
stay involved with the group.

“I think that it‘s really an or a-
nization that is taking off t is
year." James said. “I think you will
start to see a lot more of us."

One of the group's major goals
is to begin a mentor program.
Spruill said the roup is now in
the process of indin a target

roup of high schoofZ students.

Vhen this group is found. Circle
of lmani members will meet with
them and encourage them to fur-
ther their education.

Another Circle of lmani goal is
to set up an English scholarship in
the name of one of their inspira-
tion, Lulamae Fragd.

“The name lmani is a Swahili
Word that means faith, which is
central to everything we do."
James said.

She also said that symbolism is
an intricate part of the group. The
Egyptian Ankh is the symbo of the
group. ,

The Ankh is a combination of
the male and female symbols, and
represents fertility and life.

The group’s first general meet-
ing is, at 4 p.m. on Sept. 13 in
306A Commons Complex.

Students recognized
in College oi Medicine

By Jane Ashley Pace

Contributing U 'rim'

The UK College of Medicine held its
annual fall academic convocation and
awards day yesterday at the UK Hospital.

Awards day has been a tradition for the
College of Medicine since 1964. The goal
is to recognize scholastic achievement by
students and teachers who have demon-
strated great devotion and the college‘s
faculty researchers. said Emery \Vilson.
dean of the College of Medicine.

“One thing that we want to do today is
to honor those who have excelled during
the past year, really to have given their
best." \Vilson said. “And we want to recog—
nize those students."

In 1994. an academic convocation was
added as part of the annual event. It was
added to highlight the past year’s accom-
plishments and to anticipate the goals for
the upcoming year.

The convocation and awards day is also
a chance for the college to sponsor a series
of distinguished lecturers who address a
current topic of major importance in medi-
cal education. This year's lecturer was Dr.
Edmund Pellegrino.

Pellegrino. a nationally—known medical
cthicist, spoke on “Covenant. Character.
and Code: The Tripod of Professional
Ethics.” Pellcgrino served as professor and
chairman of the UK College of Medicine
from 1959 to 1966.

In [996, the UK Medical Alumni Associ—
ation presented Pellegrino with an Hon—
orary Alumnus Award for being the first
chair of the UK College of Medicine. Pelle-
grino is currently at Georgetown L'niversity.

Several individuals were recognized for
their outstanding work and contribution to
the College of Medicine.

Dr. Jacqueline Noonan received the
\Villiam R. \Villard Dean's Recognition
Award. The award. created in I995. was
established to recognize an individual who
has given extensively to the college through
service and great devotion over a consider
ably long time. Wilson said. Noonan w1ll
retire soon and plans to devote more time
to education.

David \Veaver. a third year medical stu—
dent from llendersonville. Ky.. and Keith
Hall. a second year medical student from
Harold. Ky.. received numerous awards.
Both were recipients of the Excellence in
Pathology and \Villiam R. Martin l‘lxcel-

lence in Pharmacology Awards. \Veaver
also received the l‘ixccllcncc in Basic (Ilini~
cal Skills and The lrving and Psther Kan-
ncr Memorial Award. Hall was the rccipi
ent of the Novartis Pharmaceutical Award.
\\'eaver said he isn't sure what specialty
he would like to pursue. He is taking a
variety of different classes to try to deter--

 

 

minc his interests.

This year should proyide more opportus
nities‘ to get hands-on experience by work—
ing \\ itli nurses and doctors at his Hospi-
tal. he said.

“l was really honored to be recogni'led
today." Hall said. “The hard work has paid
off.“

 

     

Lei: looks at separate student government

By Gary Wuli

Senior Staff U ’rirer

For three years. Sttident Gov-
ernment Association Graduate
Student Sen. Michael Tomblyn
has sat and listened to Ion dis—
cussions about how SGA sEould
fund Lexington Community Col—
lege’s equivalent ofa student gov—
ernment.

With a vote \Vednesday night.
the issue of LCC Student Associ-
ation‘s funding from the SGA
budget could be met by next year.

The bill requests that a com-
mittee study needs an LCC stu-
dent government durin the
school year. so that they 0 not
spend two hours discussing fund-
ing the group, like they did on

Wednesday night.

LCC Sen. Hendrick Floyd
sponsored the original bill that
asked for $6.835 to operate the
office at LCC and pay for adver-
tising. computer maintenance.
programs and other services.

The Senate amended the bill
to $3,500, with the option for
LCSSA to request more funding
during the year if needed.

Floyd was disgusted with the
outcome.

“It's a slap in the face for not
onl LCC students. but also to
UK students.“ Flovd said
Wednesday night after the vote.

“I think it is unjustifiable.” he
said after eve amendment
which would cut flit: funding.
The amendment was not the

   

only cut made in funding for
LCC student governments.

For the past three years.
LCCSA has received about
$6.000 from SGA to run its office
at LCC. ,

During the summer Senate.
when the SGA budget is written.
the LCCSA funding was chopped
to $500.

The LCCSA was formed to
better serve the needs and con—
cerns of LCC students. Floyd
said.

Sen. George Myers said by
having LCCSA and re iresenta—
tion in the UK SGA t at LCC
had dual representation.

Tomblyn said that the LCC
students should receive funding
for one organization or the other.

I

    

not both.

“l“.ithcr keep representation
here. (in L'K SGA) and drop
LCCSA. or drop representation
here and keep representation at
l.CCS.-\." ’l‘omblyn said
\Vednesday night.

Last year SGA a iproved
$6.000 for the group. l‘foyd did
not know how much the organi-
zation spent.

He added that much of the
year was spent in turmoil as posi»
tions were re—filled several times
during the year.

This fall 5.586 students will
attend LCC. LCCSA and receive
53.500 of SGA funds. which adds
tip to about 72 cents per student.
At L'K. about 20.000 students
attend and pay a total of SI 28.000

s

        

per year. This works out to be
about $6 per student.

l.(I(I interim president James
Cha iman said that l.(I(I is a
mucli diffcrcnt entity from L’K.
and that many of its students do
not get a chance to use the L'K
facilities.

In his final argument before

the Senate passed the bill. (Iha )-
man said that LCCSA needs the
money to implement programs
that will affect LCC students. He
added that the group has had a lot
of problems and with the money
the LCCSA could be able to
make a history.
“This is the best solution.”
Myers said. “l'd like to see it at
zero (dollars)." while proposing
the final ain‘endment.

a strong nautical sound to it. In the song
“Buckingham Green" \Vcen trics its best at
English accents and. even though short, it is
probably one of the better songs on the album.

Describing \Vcen in one word would be dif-

also somew at confusing. It is surely the first
to incorporate its unique musical styling,
resounding vocals and erratic lyrics.

\Vecn’s stran c following seems to fill every
concert hall it pfays in every town. In a phone
interview with one of the faux brothers, Gene
\‘I'een's reaction to touring was, “.Vlostly our
favorite thing about [touring] is getting out
there and playing the music."

Dean and Gene Ween are said to “come
alive" durin performances, showing up in T—
shirts and i —flops, with a few six-packs of
beer in their fiands. They give their audiences
what they want, if it be answering song
requests or tooling around the stage acting out
their bizarre lyrical inventions.

\Veen has opened up for such bands as the
Foo Fighters and Fugazzi.

Gene had this to say of their Fu azzi experi-
ence: “There were all these skinfieads in the
crowd and they hated us .. . They started
throwing thin s at us, beer cans and every-
thing. We di n’t care though, we were so
strung out on drugs."

Comm/wring II 7 Her

\I'ho are you and why
thc hcll are you licrc?

In her latest book,
appropriatcly titlcd 3W
( [0111(7) Key.“ to II 7.10 Iron :II'U
411111 “7.1)! l'nu‘rc Herc,
Linda Anderson uses the
basic teachings of lick—
ankar to attempt to answer
these two most
questions.

The religion, also known as the
“Ancicnt Science of Soul 'l‘ravcl,"
boasts of followers in more than
100 countries.

Although I‘lckists include sixth
century mathematician Pythago—
ras as on of their carlicst follow-
crs, the religion itsclf only resur—
faced in the mid—‘60s. lickankar is
based in the unlikcly Mecca of
Minneapolis. Minn.

\thn I phoned Anderson for
our interview, I was greeted by a
rccording of thc samc anonymous
linglish voice that often accompa—
nics ATM machines and customcr
scrvicc lincs. Thc voicc wclcomcd
inc to thc Tcmplc of lick, and

 

1‘51““ Anderson

asked, as politely as possible for
someone without a face, ifl would
please hold.

\Vhilc listening to the
gratuitous. Yannicsqiic.
‘plcasc hold' music, I
couldn't help but wonder
what kind of pcrson l was
about to encountcr. Ilow—
cvcr, Anderson was vcry
intelligent, and a rather
pleasant conversationalist.
Anderson is a playwright,
lecturer, business woman,
and, as she found necessary to
include in her autobiographical
information, .1 pct lover.

When asked why Fckankar is
relatively unknown, Anderson
points out that. “it is against the
religious practices of l‘ickankar to
try to convert people."

She also adds, “This is not a
program where we try to get peo—
plc to leave their religion and join
this one. In fact. a lot of pcoplc
study privately."

Anothcr aspcct of lickankar
which might appeal to thosc who
havc been iadcd by the more
mainstrcam rcli firms is that Pick-
ankar does not shun thosc who do
not conform to

social norms.

Anderson writes in her book that
“individuality is respected and
appreciated.“

Asked if she encounters a great
deal ofopposition from other rcli-
gions. Anderson replies, “I
wouldn‘t call it opposition. Most-
ly, when )coplc get to know us,
they scc t at we are in su port of
all religions. \Ve rcally ficl that
religion serves a spiritual purpose
for pcoplc. \Vc never see things as
a competition."

In today‘s society, a bookstore
without a spirituality or self—help
section is virtually non-existent.
Anderson‘s book is uniquc in that
each chapter contains “spiritual
exercises and techniques."

“Most of the people that come
to my events have had a profound
religious cxpcricncc. They are try—
ing to find answers to what hap—
pened to them," she said. “It is just
so beautiful when you have an
cxpcricncc that proves to you,
without any shadow of doubt, that
you arc more than your physical
body. You are more than what you
can scc, feel, or touch. There is
also an invisible sidc."

Thc majority ofthc book con-
sists of stories of heightened “spir—

itual awareness" from Anderson
herself, as well as other followers
of Eckankar.

Anderson explains, “\thn you
have had those kinds of experi-
ences, it transforms you so much,
and it consumes you with so much
love and peace, that you want to
have that again."

Though the book’s title sug-
gests something more profound,
most of the stories are of the typi-
cal bluc light/overwhelming sen—
sation of love variety. Which
unfortunately, makes the book
read like a bad episode of
Unsolved Mysteries. Anderson's
message certainly appears to have
admirable and ositivc as ects.
Although much ikc a daily lioro—
scope, the book attempts to
answer weighty questions with
fluffy, nonspecific answers.

For those who are suffering
from some form of intense spiritu—
al void, or sim ly want to learn
more about EC ankar, Anderson
will hold a workshop at joscph-
Beth on Sept. 19. The workshop
will begin at 7 p.m. and will last
for one hour, after which, the
author will sign copies of her
book.

7 SIIIIW harkens III grunge days

By James Ritchie
Newt Iii/Iriir

llctwccn songs at Bogart's in Cincinnati,
L7‘s bass ilaycr provided an anccdotc that
explained t c kinds of audiences the all-female
band oncc attracted.

It seems that at the group‘s first Bogart's
show in 1992, a bounccr's head briefly served
as a landing spot for a male audience
member's, cr, gcnitalia.

\Vcdncsday's show still carried the high
energy that should be expected from some of
the forcsistcrs of the riot-grrl subgenre of
grunge. L'suallv dark and aggressive, some-
times sarcastica ly catchy, almost every riff L7
threw out created a stir in the mosh pit that
formed near the stage.

The four members know how to put on a
show like true rock stars, a skill their opening
act Sweet 75 (featuring Krist Novelsclic from

1‘ T T
. _ on 7 I-WJ....-.__k.,.x._t_?£..x-..-.v. _... .7

> .c. ”Wa'v -

Nirvana?) lacked. The band makcs a conscious
effort to reject traditional notions of feminine
beauty. The unkempt hair, sloppy attire and
exa gcrated masculinc posturing that come
wit this effort make L7 visually cxcitin in a
way similar to White Zombie. There‘s a ways
something to watch on stage.

While the band drew several hundred to the
club and audience reaction was strong, 1.7
plays a style of music that belongs to the early
'905. People still like it enough to pay $l3 for a
ticket, but I doubt too many people were at the
club to see their favorite band. And I doubt
many more bouncers will be feeling the weight
of male sexual organs on their craniums at L7
concerts.

I wouldn't say L7 is a band on the way out,
but it probabl won‘t be seeing any increases in
popularity. I it were ever oing to be huge,
that success irobably W0ul( have come in the
early— or mid—'90s, when its style was fresh and

unheard.

People just can't get as excited about the
music as they could when the style was intro-
duced. Alice in Chains and Pearl Jam still sell
records because they gained such large fan
bases early on. L7 didn't. But the group per—
sists because of its novelty and obvious sinceri-

Two or three fans tried some crowd surfing,
which was encouraging. But it just seemed like
retcnding —- like they were crowd-surfing
because that's what people used to do at con-
certs, in a different time and a different place.

I compare Wednesday‘s experience to what
it must have been like to attend an L7 show in
1992. The crowd surfing of the past was the
real thing. The moshing was the enuine arti-
cle. People were experiencing it a for the first
time.

For better or for worse, things have
changed.

T0 SBI‘BW chickens l8 ‘llivine'

‘Flamingos’
sets standard

’ for film filth

By Luke Saladin
Sra/fCririr

I could tell you that no chick—
ens were sexually harassed in Pink
Flamingos.

I could tell you there are no
hermaphrodites being seduced by
sausage—lovin rapists.

I could tel you the movie was
an allegorical eriod piece about
feelings of a ienation and the
decay of values, set against the
backdrop ofa Baltimore trailer.

I could tell you this, but then
you might actually go to the
movie and lose faith in mankind
all together. However, losing faith
in mankind was never this funny.

Pink Flamingos has absolutely
no redeeming values what-so—
ever. It tells the story of Divine, a
transsexual who holds the title of
“Most Disgusting Person Alive."

Divine's title comes into ieop-

ardy when a couple, who happen
to run an adoption agency for
people who look like an Andy
\Varhol painting, decide to try
and outdo her.

A battle ensues and Divine's
family of Cotton,
Cookie. and mother
work to defend the
title of “The “'orld’s
Most Disgusting Per-
son."

As is its intention,
there is not much of a
plot to this movie. It is
a collection of some of
the most hilariously
disgusting scenes and
people you will ever
see over the course of

gusting they were.

“'aters decided to set out and
create the world's most tasteless
movie.

Watching Pink Flamingos is
somewhat of an enigma. It’s like
watching a friend puke
after drinking too
much. You want to
turn away because it's
disgusting. You also
want to watch because
it's funny watching
your friend's body
contort like a Sea rull
who just swallowed~ an
Alka-Seltzer tablet.

“'hat the sky did
for birds, Divine does
for the tasteless. She

The film was made W where puke is given as
in 1972 on a budget of my 4 a gift and the enter—

about $13,000 by john
\Vaters. who got the
money from his loving
parents. The movie is being re-
relcased to celebrate its 25th
anniversary.

Waters got the idea to make
the movie while traveling cross-
country to attend the Charles
Manson trial. During his travels
he was amazed by how many trail—
er parks there were and how dis—

tainment stretches
interpretive dance to
whole new levels.

Of course, no self-respecting
filth movie would be complete
without sex. But no one has seen
sex practiced quite like this. “lio-
ever said humans could not prac»
tice asexual reproduction need
look no further.

Rape, masturbation, sausages
tied to penises and screwing

chickens to death also find their
place in this celebration oi slea/r
iiess.

The movie's finale will live in
film infamy not like the horse‘s
head in The Godfather or the
Death Star blowing up in Shir
Hill's, but more like watching
Kennedy getting his head shot on
home Video.

Pink l-‘lammgos is not for the
masses. 'l‘he View er won‘t get l'oi—
rest (lump sating the day with
shrimp. lhe viewer won't get
Brad Pitt discovering the secrets
oflife while lly fishing. x\ll you get
is the embodiment of liltli. Divine,
who has yet to relinquish her title.

until earlier this week Lexington Community
College Students couldn’t take our seats in
computer labs.

Lab computers across campus now prompt
for a user identification and password to weed
out non-UK students from using the facilities.
Initially, LCC students were among those
weeded out as non-UK students
according to the lab gods.

Now, however, the University real—
ized their omission of sorts, and LCC students
have the opportunity to set up accounts for lab
use.

The intention of maximizing student use is
well focused, but LCC students are not drink-
ing from different water fountains and living
