Managing t0 play

Vogel pulls
double duty

By Brett Dawson
Senior Stafl‘lVriter

His tale is enough to make a
pessimistic screenwriter drool:

When Frank Vogel was a
sophomore in high school, he
stood 5-foot-5 inches tall and
weighed barely 130 pounds. He
looked more like the water boy
than the point guard of the \Vild—
wood (N.].) High School basket-
ball team.

Almost seven years later, he’s
set to run the show for the UK
basketball team. But hold the
phone, Hollywood.

He’ll likely be coming off the
bench; and he’ll be dishing to
UK’s junior—varsity team, not
Rick Pitino’s ready-for-prime-
time Wildcats.

But for Vogel, six inches taller
and 40 pounds heavier than the
little sophomore who could, a
junior—varsity hoops career is
merely a small step in a much

greater Hoop Dream.

The other, and believe it or not
larger step, is to serve as a manag-
er for the UK varsity squad, a
career move he hopes will help
lead not to success as a player, but
as a coach.

Mills probably could outscore
Vogel most any day of the week.

llll unveils new carpooling plan

By April Hollon

Campus Editor

In response to the increasing demand
for parking on campus, the UK Parking
and Trans ortation Committee may have
helped to End a solution to the problem.

The committee is going to offer a
reformed student and employee carpool-
ing program. The new program will offer
more incentives than the current pro-

am.

“UK has had a carpool program for
years but now it has added incentives,"
said Don Thornton, UK’s director of
Parking and Transportation Services.

Incentives like a reduced parking price,

guaranteed rides home in emergency situ—
ations, motorist assistance and a reserved
parking space will be given to carpoolers.

Groups must have‘at least three full— or
part-time UK employees, students or
Veterans Administration employees to be
considered a carpool.

The rates for carpool permits will be
only $12 a month. This is comparable to
the $42 a month it would cost for three
regular ermits, Thornton said yesterday.

Anot er benefit carpoolers will enjoy is
a guaranteed ride home if the driver gets
sick or must leave unexpectedly without
the group.

Each rider will receive up to three
rides home per year, no matter the loca-

tion, in such situations. This does not
include emergencies like a heavy snow,
however.

“Even ifsomeone lives in Berea, they
are still guaranteed a ride home.” Thorn-
ton said.

Motorist assistance one time per year
for the carpool vehicle also will be
offered. Running out of gas, locking keys
in the car, jumpstarting and towing are
included.

The assistance only will be available
for vehicles broken down while they are
on campus.

A beneficial service that will affect the
carpoolers daily is a reserved parking
place. For students, it will he the most

popular and convenient spaces in the
commuter lots. For employers, it will be
the best in their respective lots, Thornton
said.

“\’\'e have looked at all the reasons why
people may want to carpool but can’t. “'e
have tried to address all of their con—
cerns,” he said.

With this idea in mind, the committee
has added another plus. Participants will
be issued 12 scratch—off passes per year to
be used on days they cannot ride in the
carpool.

“We are still putting things together
like preparing brochures and contracting
the wrecker service,” Thornton said. “But
we hope to start it at the next permit
issuance in February or March for
employees and next fall for students.”

Thornton feels the revisions in the car-

80"!“ African scholars study medical SOIIOOI

By Jen Vinson
Senior Staff [Writer

Two American Council on Education
Fellows from South Africa recently
wrapped up a six-week visit to UK to study
programs and management techniques at
the Chandler Medical Center and UK
Medical School.

Moffat Dyasi and Dr. Johann DeVries,
both from the Medical University of
Southern Africa, received ACE fellowships
with the idea that they “gain the expertise
and perspective necessa to assume signif—
icant leadership roles inrl‘iigher education."

Dyasi and DeVries said the hoped to
take what they learned at UK back home
and use that knowled e to improve medi—
cal schools in South A rica.

DeVries, dean of his university’s college
of dentistry, said he was interested in how
UK utilizes and manages its physicians.

“In my opinion, (UK’s pro ram) is a
model that we can follow t roughout
South Africa,” DeVries said.

Also, both men were impressed with the
University’s distance learning program,
which uses the power of the airwaves to
teach students in rural areas via satellite.

“It presents a good deal of outreach to

rural areas," said Dyasi, who serves as assis—
tant to the vice chancellor and principal at
his university.

Both men said they think the program
would work in South Africa because of the
similarities that exist between their country
and Kentucky.

For example, like Kentucky, South
Africa has only a couple populous cities
and many rural areas.

This similarity was also noticed by the
Chancellor for the University’s Medical
Center James Holsinger, who served as the
men’s mentor while at UK.

He also traveled to South Africa to get a
better understanding of their situation.

Holsinger also hinted at the possibility
of future exchanges between South Africa
that could involve other faculty members
and even students.

In addition to the wealth of medical
information they have acquired, DeVries
said he and his collea e learned that New
York is not the mode for America.

“It is very different,” DeVries said.
“The peo le here (in Kentucky) are
extremely 'endly and helpful.”

The fellows said they were eager to
return home and tackle the challenges that
lie ahead in a post-apartheid system.

organizations planning to partic-
ipate. Groups schedu ed to walk
include the FANS club, students
in the Colle e of Law, resident
advisers, U Medical Center
Emergency staff and members of
the Departments of Family Prac-
tice, Internal Medicine, Patholo-
gy and the Student Nurses Asso—
ciation.

Stacey Cosentino, a dietetics
junior, is looking forward to the
walk.

“I think this is a great oppor-
tunity for students to give some-
thing back to the Lexington
community,” she said.

Prizes will be awarded to
walkers who raise money. The
first prize for the individual who
raised the most amount of
money is two round-trip tickets

lleto threats
loom over House retorm

\VASHINGTON —— Ignoring a veto threat, the
House passed a Republican plan yesterday for over—
hauling Medicare by raising premiums for the
elderly and disabled and saving billions from hospi—
tal and doctor fees.

The vote was 231-201. Six Republicans voted
against their party’s proposal to save $2 70 billion
from Medicare over seven years. The vote culmi—
nated a lon , bitter day of debate about the future
ofthe healt plan for America's 33 million elderly
and 4 million disabled workers.

House Speaker Newt Gingrich called it “a great.
great victory for fact over fiction" and “for
believing you can tell the truth to the American
people.“ He said Republicans were saving Medicare
for today’s retirees while sparing America's children
from being “crushed with taxes."

Naval OIIICBI' acquitted on charges

WASHINGTON -— A jury of naval officers
acquitted the former head of the l Tavy’s equal-
opportunity office yesterday of charges of sexual
harassment.

The jury of two women and six men announced
its verdict after a day and a halfof deliberations at
the Washington Navy Yard.

Capt. Everett L. Greene, 47, is the highest-rank-
ing naval officer to be court—martialed since World
War II. Greene had been at the forefront of the
Navy’s effort to combat sexual harassment after the
1991 Tailhook scandal in which sailors and Marines
harassed and sexually abused female colleagues at a
drunken Las Vegas convention.

‘SAFE' shows symptoms of sickness

By Julie Anderson
Staff Writer

Americans are diluted by
chemicals, be it by breathing a
piney car deodorizer or walking
past a roach motel. More than
60,000 chemicals compound with
daily life. The consequences are
not safe.

Debuting at the Kentucky
Theatre tonight at 7:20 is
“SAFE.”

“SAFE” explores the life of
housewife Carol White, portrayed
by Julianne Moore, who suffers
from the ‘20th Century Illness,’ a
disease marked by severe reactions
to common chemicals.

After Carol’s allergic reaction
to the outward world, she reverts
inward. Introspection reveals how
the disease infected her sense of
being.

“Carol’s understanding of her-
self is fully determined by the
world in which she lives. Her
increasing intolerance to her sur-
roundings is experienced as a crisis
of identity,” director/writer Todd
Haynes said in a news release. “If
she can longer drive on the free-
way or perm her hair or buy new
furniture, then who is she?”

Haynes first encountered ‘20th
Century Illness’ while watching a
human interest story focused on
housewives who could no longer
tolerate everyday chemicals.

“They called it ‘20th Century
Illness’ because its sufferers
seemed incapable of tolerating the
very substances that pervade mod—
ern life,” Haynes said. “Ultimately
they were forced to move into cli-
mate controlled trailer homes and
live the rest of their lives like the

 

boy in the plastic bub-
ble. What can I say? I
was hooked.”

Since the cause and
effect of the ‘20th
Century Illness’
remain in question,
many doctors dismiss
the disease. However

noon-drama IOGIIS‘BS on lemale Indian hero

By Dan O'Neill

Contributing ”/77!”

The growing popularity of
films with political significance is
again apparent in this year’s
American release of “Bandit
Queen.” With an Oliver Stone-
esque storyline, this docu—drama
attempts to convey the life
accounts of an extremely influen-
tial figure in India’s modern soci-
ety.
“Bandit Queen” depicts the
true story of female bandit
Phoolan Devi (Seema Biswas), a
modern~day legend in her home-
land of India. Born among the
country’s lower-caste citizens,
Devi is celebrated as a heroine and
a goddess by India’s poor. Until
her arrest in 1983, Devi, who was
known as the Bandit Queen and
the Rebel of the Ravines, headed
an organized band of outlaws
involved in kidnapping, robbery
and murder.

The movie follows Devi from
her destitute childhood to her

ultimate arrest 12 years ago.
Forced into marriage at the age of
ll, Devi is made a slave and
repeatedly beaten by her husband.
After she is forced to have sex with

ing any abuse of women and chil-
dren. Their rendezvous ends vio—
lently when the gang’s Thakur
leader, Sriram (Govind Namdeo),
is released from prison, kills Mal-

 

him, the brash young
Devi runs away,
returning to her family.
As an adult woman
who ventured out
alone, she is assumed
to be a prostitute by
society. Upon refusing
the sexual advances of
an upper-caste Thakur,

and its overtones of class warfare,

their hunt for Devi. While aware

of the authorities inability to catch
her, she and her gang surrendered
on their own terms before a
cheering crowd of 10,000 people.
Among her caste she is considered

Director Shekhar Kapur’s film,
based on the dictated prison
diaries of Phoolan Devi herself,
offers a revealing look at the con-
demnation of the persecution of
women and peasants under India’s
caste system. Despite being
banned in its native land, the
movie was India’s entry in the for—
eign film category in last year’s
Academy Awards. Devi personally
filed, then settled, a number of
suits to stop its release. Although
the surrounding political im 0r-
tance of “Bandit Queen” is iffi-
cult to capture on film, it displays
the intense emotions of the
oppressed lower caste people.

“Bandit Queen” opens with a
9:40 p.m. showing at the Ken—
tucky Theatre.

duces doamrentariex at KET. ll/Iena'es
producer “Signature, " a reflex ofdoc-
umenmrier on contemporary South-
ern wrirerr. He ix also a Kentucky
Kernel alumnux.

Q: Were you a staff photographer
at the Kernel?

G.M.: No, I was a staff writer
and Associate Editor and Manag-
ing Editor and Summer Editor
and Sports Editor, even. I went to
cover an anti-war rally in ‘67,
when \Vendell Berry 5 oke and I
met him and arrange to inter-
view him on his farm not long
after that.

So I got there and went to do
the interview and I met Gene
Meatyard there and it changed the
way I looked at words and images
through the rest of my life.

Q: Do you conrider yourself a
writer more than a photographer.

G.M.: No, I’m a writer for a
living, basicall , and a photogra-
pher for mysel . I don’t make a liv-
ing at photography. I tau ht at
U for 14 years, one c ass a
semester, in the art department,
but I haven’t taught the past two
years.

I have a one—year-old child and
a couple of big projects at KET
where I’ve made a living for 22
years. My work at home is my
photographic work, basically,
thoug occasionally I sta home
to work on scripts for KE .

Q: Did you have any classical
training?

G.M.: I had a class in journal-
ism and when I was in Connecti-
cut with Jim Hall, I was meeting
students in Cambridge. I had to
unlearn a lot of things I learned in
journalism, because the focus is to
get the picture out. A fine art pho-
tographer will spend all night on
one photo.

Q: Did you ever want to try to
make a living at photography?

G.M.: I did for a while, not
even enough to file a tax return.
After college, after I graduated
from UK in 1970, I
spent a year in Con—
necticut with James
Baker Hall as kind
of an apprentice to
him in a dark room
business, a photo
business. He was
teaching at MIT
and the University of
Connecticut, so I got
to go to those places.

0: I didn’t know that games
Baker Hall was into photograp y.

G.M.: He’s a photograp er and
filmmaker as well as a poet and
novelist.

He makes his own kind of ic-
tures, like any artist should. on
can tell they’re Jim’s pictures.

0: This community has a great
wealth of artirtr that no one seems to
know about unlerr th are sort of in
on the group. Ha: t 1': community
had effect onyou?

6%.: It has. I like living in
Lexington for many reasons, but
among those is an interesting

other artists, whet er it s litera-
ture or visual arts.

I think there are very interest-
ing painters here, sculptors, fine
book makers. You know just
blocks from here you have Guy
Davenport sitting at his desk,
Gurney Norman sitting at his
desk, Ed McClanahan sitting at
his desk. Bobbie Ann Mason lives
over in Anderson County, that’s
not too far.

Q: And Wendell Berry seems to
make into town for rallies at Ran-
dall’r.

G.M.: I met Wendell and I
took his class for
the next two or
three years, about

/ seven semesters.
He was a great

teacher and still a
_l good friend.
Q: I heard he was
the hardest professor
that UK probably ever
had.

G.M.: Well, he
was a great taskmaster and a very
good critic. I turned into him an
article one time, something I’d
written on hippie times. I thinkI
got a B. He wrote on it, “This is
good for student work, but you
can do better.” Well, OK, I’ll do
better. But yeah, he was tough,
but good.

0: Are mart of your photograph:

G.M.: No. photograph seri~

I date it to about ‘68 when I met
Gene Meatyard through Wendell
Berry, when I went to interview
Wendell about his anti-war views
and whatnot.

There was this man in knickers
and a wool cap, looking at things

that you would look at and won-
der what the hell he was looking
at. Wendell’s lO-year-old son at
the time took me aside and said,
“Guy, he makes really strange pic-
tures, you ought to go look at
them.”

There was a show up in Lex-
ington at Doctor’s Park, I think. I
went to see it and this lO-year—old
boy was absolutely right, the pic-
tures were unlike anything I’d
ever seen in the photograph medi—
um. Blurred images, people with
masks, eople moving, very dark,
forebo in images.

Lo an behold it turns out he
was a world-class artist. Gene
Meatyard was making a living sell-
ing eyeglasses and he had a little
ga lery on his walls.

We became friends and I hung
around his e eglass business,
because I coul han out in the
back room and look rough all of
his pictures and talk to Gene.

He showed me, as many other
people have since, that photogra-
phy can be used as any other artis-
tic medium as a vehicle for self-
expression, to map out your own
idi cratic view of the world.

Thgt’s what art is about, seeing
things a little differently, seeing
things a new way. Up until that
point I had been pretty who, what,
when, where, how about photog-
rapll-iy as a journalistic tool.

ere was a person using the
medium so that the picture wasn‘t
going to be stale tomorrow or
need a outline.

It existed in and of itself. It
affected you. It gave you pause,
because that‘s what a piece of art
sets out to do.

flats to battle Bulldogs r

By Chris Easterling
Antwan! Spam Editor

Some teams get all the luck,
some teams get nothing but pain.

\Vhile UK seemed to get all the
breaks in their 24—16 win over LSU
last weekend, Georgia continued
to be devastated with major injuries
in the backfield.

The Bulldogs

against Tennessee.

The very next week, UGA lost
starting quarterback Mike Bobo to
a season-ending knee injury and
were forced to move Hines Ward
from tailback, where he was filling
in for Edwards, to backup at QB.

The Bulldogs also have lost
sophomore Selma Calloway, who
was the third strin tailback along

“I’ve never seen anything like
it,” Bulldogs head coach Ray Goff
said. “I‘ve seen injuries, but I’ve
never seen it where all the injuries
were at one position.”

The ‘Dawgs have lost six tail—
backs to injuries, beginning with
junior Robert Edwards, who was
leadin r the SEC in rushing when
he suffered a broken bone in his
foot in the second game of the year

 

yards this season.

The Georgia
coaching staff wanted to redshirt
Arnaud this season, along with
Kirtsey, but the injuries that
depleted the Bulldogs’ backfield
forced Arnaud into action. So far
this season, he has rushed seven
times for 16 yards.

“It’s not true that I’m going to
line up at tailback,” said Goff, who
played quarterback at Georgia
from 1974-76. “Basically we’re

going to put numbers in a hat, and
whoever gets number one gets to
play tailback.”

While the the injuries at tailback
have left lasting marks on the team,
the injury to Bobo quickly was
remedied by inserting junior Bryan
Smith at quarterback.

Smith, who was the third-string
quarterback at the start of the sea-
son, came in to replace Ward at
guarterback after Ward was inef—

ective in re lacing Bobo.

Smith is blessed to have a pair of
outstanding wide receivers. Brice
Hunter and Juan Daniels have
given defensive secondaries fits
with their ability to turn short pass-
es into long touchdowns.

Hunter, who plays much the
same role as LSU‘s Eddie Kenni-
son, has 26 catches on the season
for 375 yards and is averaging 21
yards per kickoff return.

Daniels is leading the team in
receiving yards with 440 and has
four touchdown receptions. He
also returns kickoffs for Georgia,
averaging 15 yards a pop.

While injuries have hurt the
‘Dawgs, UK coach Bill Curry
expects UGA to provide a chal-
lenge for his Cats, a team looking
to go over the .500 mark for the
first time since week one of the
199-l season.

“I’ve seen them in this position
before,” said Curry, who grew up
in College Park, Ga. “They have a
tvpical response to adversity. The
light and scratch and play with,
great courage.

“I’ve seen it in every decade,
where they had a bunch ofinjuries,
and they responded the same

way."

This game also rovides a
homecoming of sorts for UK tail-
back Moe Williams, who grew up
in Columbus, Ga., and was heavily
recruited by the Bulldogs.

rushing, is expected to play against

Ray McLaurin has shown he can

“We will have another very

game,” Curry said. “It wi I be nose
to nose and toe to toe. The (team)
that can prevail physically and take
care of the ball will win the game.”
