Bridging the generation gap
Engineer, 92,
teaching at UK

 

By Alan Aja
Contributing Writer

 

A popular country song advises
that love can build a bridge. This
sentiment has particular meaning
for 92-year-old Sam Mory.

Mory, a UK civil engineering in-
structor, has dedicated much of his
life to designing bridges and other
structures.

But having left his professional
work behind, the London, Ky., na-

tive now expresses his love of engi-
neering in the classroom.

Mory joined the UK faculty eight
years ago. ending a 20-year retire-
ment in Florida

He brought with him not only a
knowledge of civil engineering but
a passion for the field that blos-
somed during adolescence.

“At first, I wanted to be a sur-
geon,“ Mory recalled. “However,
one summer my brother and I went

Mass for student to be today

 

By Stephen Trlmble
Staff Writer

 

Relatives and friends of journal-
ism junior Emily Marie Seither, 20,
will go to mass today at St. Jo-
seph's Church in Crescent Springs,
Ky., to say goodbye.

Seither was pronounced dead
12:08 pm. Sunday at Humana Hos-
pital upon arrival after being found
unresponsive by engineering junior
Ajay Shah in his home at 1001
Kakagi Court in Lexington, accord-
ing to a police report.

Shah refused to comment.

Deputy Fayette County coroner
Tom Brock said results of the au-
topsy performed on Monday were
inconclusive and the acttnl cause of

death may take more than six weeks
to determine.

University officials have contact-
ed Seither‘s family members and
roommates to offer counseling ser-
vices or any resources the UK can
provide, Dean of Students David
Stockham said.

Martha Butts, one of Seither's
co-workers from the campus geo-
logical library, said Seither worked
Friday and appeared “just fine."
She said the staff was “devastated"
on Monday by news of Seither's
death.

In Seither's Villa Hills, Ky..
hometown, Sister Mary Reina re-
membered Seither's presence in her
.1 class at None Dame Academy
for thee straight years, despite hav-
ing might hundreds of students in

her 40.year tenure with the high
school.

Reina describes her as a “very
fine student" and still keeps on her
desk a picture Seither gave her as a
Christmas present three years ago.
Seither excelled in art at the acade~
my and frequently was encouraged
by Reina to pursue a weer as an il-
lustrator.

Seither is survived by her parents
Donald and Judy Seither of Villa
Hills: arid three sisters, Gina Boyer
of Cincinnati, and Jaintie Seither
and Elizabeth Seither, both of Villa
Hills.

Visitation will be today at the
Mullencamp Funeral home front 4
to 6 pm. The mass today will begin
at 6:30 pm. and services will begin
at 10 am. tornonow.

For four and a half minutes, the
chase continues.

This describes what you would
encounter with virtual reality, the
latest technology which simulates
“real-to-life" experiences.

This month, Lexington’s first vir-
tual reality machine is being put to
the test at LaserQuest. The parent
company of LaserQuest. Leisure
Entertainment Corporation, has
loaned two games of Dactyl Night-
mare to the laser chase arena.

“It's here as an added attraction
to find out how people will react to
the new phenomenon,“ assistant
manager Charlie Stephens said.

So far, business has not picked up
because of the virtual reality ma-
chine, manager Arie vander Heiden
said.

Stephens tried to explain the ini-
tial reactions to the game, which al-
lows four-and-a-half minutes of
play for $5.

“It‘s a shoot em‘ up, disassemble
game. People come off speechless,
surprised, and a little disoriented.
But it's all been positive. It places
you in a different world, in a new
mindframe. They've been very en-
thusiastic," he said.

AIDS activist tells of battle;
dreams to see spring again

 

By Kathryn Abney
Staff Writer

 

A Lexington AIDS activist, who
has been given only six to eight
months to live by his doctors, gave
a stiff warning about the dangers of
AIDS to a group of more than 60
people at the Catholic Newman
Center last night.

David, who did not wish to use
his last name, was diagnosed with
AIDS in 1991, and since that time
has visited more than 20,000 stu-
dents in Kentucky schools and start-
ed a support group for heterosexu-
als with AIDS at the UK Hospital.

He described his battle with the
disease, from dealing with a large
doses of medicine to changes in ap-

pearance because of a significant
weight loss since he became ill.

“I feel like an Alka-Seltzer tablet
dissolving," he said.

Since he was diagnosed, David,
who now weighs 172 lbs., has lost
more than 100 pounds, and he said
his sewing machine stays on his
kitchen table to make his clothes
fit.

“I‘ll probably be dead in six to
eight months," David said. “I have
no immune system left and can
catch anything now.“

He has elected to die at home,
under the care of Hospice of the
Bluegrass, and said he knows no
easy way to die in front of his wife
and 5-year-old daughter.

He said he does not know how or

Gillooly pleads guilty
to racketeering charge

 

By Bob Baun
Associated Press

 

PORTLAND, Ore. — Jeff Gil-
looly pleaded guilty to racketeering
yesterday and struck a deal with
prosecutors to testify that his ex-
wife, Tonya Harding, approved the
assault on Nancy Kerrigan.

Under the deal, Gillooly will be
exempt from any other charges, in-
cluding those that may grow out of
a federal investigation. He agreed to
serve 24 months in prison and pay a
$100,000 fine.

Gillooly's lawyer, Ron Hoevet,
said his client hoped Harding would
also admit her involvement in the
plot.

“Jeff has a message for Tonya —
hehopesthatshewillnowdowhat
he hm dorte and move quickly to re-
solve the charges that will surely be
brought against her," Hoevet said.

“Denial is no longer plausible,"
Hoevet said. “The truth about this
bizarre crime has now been re-
vealed.“

.. .- - .-.......-... 4. _...

Harding, who is training for the
Winter Olympics that begin next
week in Norway, issued a statement
earlier yesterday to again deny “all
media speculation and rumors that
suggest that she was involved in the
Kerrigan assault."

“Jeff Gillooly‘s accusations ap-
pear to evidence a continued prac-
tice of abusive cortduct intended to
disrupt Tonya Harding's life and
destroy her career," the statement
said.

Harding has said she didn‘t learn
until days after returning to Port-
land lan. 10 that people close to her
were involved in the Jar. 6 assault
on Kerrigan. Harding has not been
charged.

in court, a somber Gillooly spoke
quietly and responded to Multno-
mah County Circuit Judge Donald
Lender with short answers. He said
he understood the charge.

“Guilty." Gillooly said, nodding
his head slightly.

 

exactly when he got the virus, but
be emphasized that he was a hetero-
sexual who did not use intravenous
drugs or have a blood transfusion.

David also said it is important for
young people to remember that it is
a misconception that condoms will
stop the spread of the virus.

“You‘re playing an odds game
using a condom," he said.

HIV virus cells are smaller than a
sperm cell, so they can get through
a condom easily, David said.

He advised everyone to read the
surgeon general‘s report on AIDS
and said the United States has the
fourth largest population of AIDS-
infected people in the world. In Af-

how great they‘re doing."

Pitino's players have been feeling es-
pecially good about themselves after
winning three straight Southeastern
Conference games, including Sunday's
91-74 win at Auburn.

“This is the best we have felt in a
long time." Pitino said. “We see the

minds as they have on their moves. Rid-
dick has received the most attention
from Pitino, who called his center “the
key to this team.‘

Pitino said he stressed two points in
his numerous meetings with Riddick the
past few weeks. One: “If he doesn't do
it now, the caravan‘s moving on for
him. Next year. he's going to be watch-
ing Mark Pope (a transfer from Wash-
ington who becomes eligible next sea-

And two: “We cannot reach our po-
tential unless he becomes a great bas-
ketball player. He has to be a strength,
rather than a weakness."

Wrocklage Wreckords is taking a
risk again by publishing the music
of another beginner band. The
Prayers.

The group is
composed of Tim
Welch on drums.
Will Eames on gui-
tar and Elvis Smith
Donaldson on bass.
The three novices
take turns with the
vocals.

Rock 'n’ roll is
the fond of The
Prayers' musical In“: “In
collaboration.

The rough life of a single mother
is portrayed in the rock song
“Tough as Nails."

While the vocal harmony is
slightly offset, the words are realis-

The Prayers are singling out
the difficult lifestyle of a single
mother who is trying her best to

“More than Yesterday" is the
best song on the self-titled al-
bum.

“Well I found something
break inside of me, in my sleep I
see a stair/it wishes, Americans,
I‘d be holding you, but instead
are a fist full of tears/but I was
drunk and could not take it, I
was strong and could not fake it/
a romantic fool, tryin’ to fall out
of love with you."

Now back those lyrics up with
a steady but calm 4/4 beat and a

Afterthoughts and forethoughts mingle in the space of dreams, ,

The hope that once was no more, and the new day .,

Curse the rain that drowns the life which lives for being, }

Curse the act of being without life.
The souls of many had little life, yet they were; » ;:
breathing and living without the hope that once was

pleasing song.

Tim Welch's drum rhythms
sound similar to those of the Diga-
ble Planets‘ “Cool like Dat." Welch
carries an excellent jazz beat, but he
needs to stay off the cymbals a lit-
tie.

However, the drums are the
strongest link in the band.

Earnes' guitar style seems to
avoid the use of more than five
chords per song, especially in the

song “Tough as Nails."

If he would explore the fret board
a little more, as in “Go Down,“ a
Lynyrd Skynyrd-style rock song.
the music would mix more propor-
tionally.

To many pe0ple it is a surprise to
find out Elvis plays for The
Prayers, and he plays bass. Elvis
— Smith Donaldson, that is —— does
not quite match the spunk of Flea
from the Red Hot Chili Peppers. but

his tricky 16th and triplet off-beats
suffice.

Overall, The Prayers have pub-
lished an album as a relatively new
band. an opportunity many bands
never get

There certainly is room for irn-
provement, especially with vocals.
but the band's style of rock adds
new flavor to the altemative music
scene.

Jay Leno admits to eavesdropping

 

Associated Press

 

NEW YORK —_ Jay Leno hid in
a darkened office to eavesdrop on a
conference call of top NBC execu-
tives deciding whether to offer his
"Tonight" show job to David Let-
terman.

“It’s wonderful,” Leno said in a
Monday night interview with
CNBC talk show host Tom Snyder.
“I was having the time of my life. It
was the funniest thing. it's like (be-
ing) Huck firm at your own funer-
a1.“

Leno's action was first reported
in “Late Shift: Leno, Letterman &
the Network Battle for Late-Night
Supremacy” by Bill Carter, a TV
reporter for The New York Times.

In the book, Leno said he learned
on Jan. 6, 1993, that NBC execu-

tives, still debating whether to keep
him on “Tonight" or to pay out his
contract and give Letterman the
show, had scheduled an evening
conference call.

Leno, after taping his Los An-
geles-based show, sneaked into a
tiny office adjoining the offices of
NBC Entertainment President War-
ren Littlefieid and NBC Produc-
tions chief John Agoglia. When the
(all came in, Leno listened in and
took careful notes.

He said he wasn’t worried about
being caught. .

In the book, he recalled thinking:
“What are they going to do, fire
me?"

Leno said he didn’t feel insulted
or angered by the executives' frank
discussions of him and his show.
“The people that i knew were on
my side were on my side. It wasn‘t

somebody patting me on the back
and then stabbing me,” he said.

“It was fun. It was exciting. It
was very enlightening," Leno told
Snyder.

“The best pan of it was using the
various information the rest of the
week."

Leno said he‘d gleefully torment-
ed the executives, approaching
them individually and watching
their panicked reactions while he
asked them questions based on
what they had said, word for word.
during the conference call.

Leno said he began eavesdrop-
ping eariy in his comedy career to

get honest audience reaction to his
act.

“Whenlwasakidandlreally
wanted to know what people
thought of my act, I‘d come off the
stage, then l‘d run into the men's
room, close the stall and put my
feet up on the john," he told Snyd-
er.

"Then guys would come in and
say, ‘What‘d ya think of that guy?’
‘He's pretty good,‘ and then
you'd really hear what they liked
about you."
