Wilkinson offers state’s lawmakers

no compromises on taxes, lottery fund

Associated Press

FRANKFORT, Ky. — Gov.
Wallace Wilkinson described the
State of the Commonwealth yester-
day as hale and hearty, contrasted it
to his stormy relations with the
General Assembly and acknowl—
edged that he might lose his fight
for a chance to seek re-election.

But Wilkinson said he “wasn‘t
sent here to get along," and he of-
fered no compromise on a pair of
festering revenue issues — the
spending of lottery money and tax-
ation of professional services —-~

“no matter if it costs me a chance to
ptit my record before the voters
again.“

The address, which the Kentucky
Constitution requires during the
General Assembly‘s regular bienni-
al sessions, was delivered to a joint
session in the House chamber of
the Capitol.

Wilkinson’s relations With the
legislature have been strained, in
part because of the Senate's refusal
to pass a proposed constitutional
amendment that would lift the sin-
gle«terni limit on governors and
other constitutional officers.

Legislators were angered this
week by television commercials in
which Wilkinson says the General
Assembly, by insisting that lottery
profits be channeled into the state‘s
General Fund, is trying to “grab"
millions of dollars front the public.

Wilkinson wants lottery money
earmarked for education and senior
citizens. The commercials were
paid for by his political action com—
niittee.

But in the prepared text of his
speech, Wilkinson referred to “my
friends" in the legislature and asked
them “to understand why l fuss and

fight. I know I could be easier to
get along with, and you know it,
too." he said. “But I wasn't sent
here to get along. I was sent fiere to
get Kentucky moving again.

“Sometimes progress is painful,
btit froiti that pain has come real
arid substantial gain."

Wilkinson said the state of the
commonwealth “is stronger, safer_
sturdier than it has been in many
years."

The budget is sound, the new lot-
tery successful, per capita income
higher and total employment tip by
100,000 jobs, he said.

About 20 members of the l.ex~
ington Baptist Temple Church
tumed out last night in front of the
Student Center to protest the sec-
ond night of the Worsharti Thea»

The protesters handed out
pamphlets to onlookers as mem-
bers of the congregation picketcd

film.

The protesters said that they
were most upset over a dream se-
quence in the movie itt which

“Then I opened the paper yester-

Many of the protesters said they
have only seen clips of the film,
and others said they have not even
seen that much.

Some of the protesters, such as
Theresa Menk, brought their chil-
dren to the demonstration.

Professor researches Einstein’s papers

By MEREDITH LITTLE
Senior Staff Writer

“There is this tttysttque that atta~
ches to (Albert) Einstein - you
think of htni as this person pos-
sessed with art almost mystical lIl‘
tellecttial capacity that seems al-
most wholly beyond the reach of us
mortals," said Don Howard, a UK
associate professor of philosophy.

Howard's interest with Einstein
has led hint to extensive research
on the genius and the titan. He is
associate editor of the recently pub-
lished The Collected Papers of Al»
bert Einstein. Volume 2, The SWISS
Years: Writings, 19004909.

Howard. who earned his doctor
ate at Boston University, has taught
at UK since 1978. He began as a
philosopher of science, anti he said
the first 20th century physicist he
was introduch to was Neils Bohr.

“My work on Bohr led me to
work on Einstein in part because
there were some famous controver-
sies between the two" on the quan«
tum mechanics theory. Howard
said.

“I started to get more and more
interested in Einstein's point of
view."

Einstein's most famous papers
appeared in 1905, which Howard
said is termed the “Iiiiracle year."

“It was a remarkable year for

 

Professor studies ‘miracle year“

Einstein because in that year in one
volume of the leading physics jour—
nal of the time he published
three papers, arty one of which
would have made him a world-
famous physicist," Howard said.

The papers were about Einstein's
theory of relativity, Brownian mo-
tion and conceming the relativity
theory.

“This was just a rerttarkablc ac-
complishment that a young man
who had no official academic ap-
pointment at that time who was
working as a clerk in a patent office
(and) doing his physics basically iii
the evenings and on weekends
could have published these thi re
revolutionary papers that reshaped
the physics of the llltli century iti
one volume," Howard said.

Although the papeis were pub-
lished in one year. Howard said
Einstein‘s ideas required a “long
gestation period."

“It‘s not as if he just sat down on
the first of January and said, ‘l'rn
going to write tlircc revolutionary
papers in the course of three
months.”

Howard said Einstein probably
worked on his relativity theory as

an undergraduate student since
IHW or 1898.

Einstein had a fairly standard
high school education for a young
German of the time, Howard said.

Einstein later attended a school
in Zurich which was the Swiss
equivalent of the Massachusetts Iti-
stittite of Technology.

“It‘s not a miracle that he became
the thinker lie was," Howard said,
“We can point to sortie of the can
cnnistances he was brought up
Ill a family where interest in things
technical and scientific were en-
couragcd."

Howard said other factors that ii:-
f'luericed Einstein included a "leg-
endary capacity for intellectual te-
nacity," extraordinary powers of
concentration and a certain amount
of independence.

“Already as a teen-tiger he was
alienated in certain ways from the
social, cultural political world he
found himself in." Howard said.
“He was something of a loner."

Btit Howard said that Iiinstein
did not start titit as a success.

“He was apparently very slow to
learn to speak really much later
than children normally begin to

speak,“ Howard said. “It was such
a problem that his family was wor-
ried that maybe he was retarded
but when he did begin speaking he
spoke almost front the start in
w hole sentences."

In addition, Einstein was art "etc
traordinarily creative thinker. and
somehow otit of that Illl.\ you get
what we call the genius," Howard
said.

Howard said Iits role lll docu-
tiientirig and editing of volume two
of Einstein‘s writings required
more than IX months of research.

“I was given responsibility for a
set of papers published from N01
to I904 on the foundations of sta-
tistical itiechariics," he said. “I
drafted historical introduction and
did all of the research for the aura»
rations."

A surprise was uncovered during
research for volume one, Howard
\‘dltl. (‘orresporidence between Ein-
stein and the woman who became
his first wife revealed an illegiti-
mate daughter born in 1901 who
was given tip for adoption.

No one knows what became of
the girl. although Howard said that
one researcher thinks he has nar-
rowed the search down to two
women, both of whom are dead
and never had children.

‘Temptation’

By KIP BOWMAR
Senior Staff Critic

Man’s quest for God‘s presence
through the ages has been an elu-
sive otte. According to Martin
Scorsese‘s “The Last Temptation of
Christ," Jesus' quest was equally
difficult anti filled with struggle.

Scorsese's film, based on Nikos
Kazantzakis’ novel, challenges
commonly held beliefs about Jesus.
Scorsese’s Jesus is filled with
doubt, weaknesses and human frail-
ty like most humans. Anti that
was one of the reasons some relig-
ious aitd conservative groups pro-
tested so vigorously when the int»
vie was released in August 1988.

If the groups had ignored the mo
vie, it might have faded away into
anonymity. But they didn't, and the
rest is history.

The film had potential, but did
not live up to it. Some of the
scenes are very powerful, but the
film lacked unity and continuity.

In tlte opening scene Jesus is tor—
mented with demons and is unsure
of himself. Throughout the begin«
nirtg there is little narrative voice
because Jesus is so fragmented and
unsure of himself. Sittce he is so
insecure and rattled. it is difficult
for the audience to accept him in
the other scenes when he performs
miracles attd heals the sick.

The film recovers from its stum-
blittg beginnings and has many
powerful scenes and almost flows
together, When Jesus is in the
desert alone and is faced with the
teitiptations of evil, Scorsese is at

Senior Staff Writer

different sasophones at once when
Miles ()sland gives ltis solo recital

Osland, director of the UK Jazz
Ensemble attd coordinator of the
Jan Studies Program. will be us-
irtg live and recorded material when
he performs at the Otis A. Single-
tary Center for the Arts,

He recorded each ofeight soprano
saxophones, seven baritone, l3 ten-
or and 13 alto saxophones to go
along with his live performance. It
will be a selection frotn David
Liebman‘s 'l‘he Loneliness of a
Long Distance Runner, a 20th cen-
tttry classical composition with
some jay] influence and improvisa~
tion.

“lts one piece that's never been
performed live, so it will be sort of
a world premiere for it," said Os-
lattd, art associate professor of mu-
sic. “The composer himself, record»
ed everything it‘s all him. That’s
his owrt record with my arrange-
ment.“

Osland will also perform other
works live, including Paul Cres-
ton‘s Sonata and Akira Yuyama‘s
Dti‘t’rtirrto. One other piece Osland

his best. The cinematography is
haunting as the isolation attd resis-
tance of temptation show both the
human and divine nature of Jesus.

But Scorsese never lets Jesus be-
come an overwhelming force. He is
constantly shadowed by doubt, even
when he performs miracles. In the
desert he thinks he sees John the
Baptist, but he isn’t sure.

When Jesus is put up on the
cross he fantasizes about leading a
human life. The scene, which
comes almost two hours into the
movie, last as long as some mo-
vies.

Scorsese needed to make a choice
at that point. He should have decid-
ed to make the scene shorter or trim
from another part of the m0vie.
The film becomes too long and
cumbersome. By its end, the audi-
ence feels it too has lived through
the second coming it thought
would never arrive.

Wilem Dafoe does an excellent
job iii a demanding role. He cap—
tures all the emotions of a Jesus
who is constantly rattled and baffled
by the will of God.

His vocal qualities and physique
are well suited to the role. Dafoe
excels in certain scenes. especially
in casting the money changers out
of the temple and raising Lazarus
from the dead.

The supporting cast is strong in
places, especially Harvey Keitel as
Judas and Barbara Hershey as Mary
Magdalene.

Keitel creates a character that has
depth and power. He meets Jesus
when he is sent to kill him but fol-

lows him instead. In many of his
weaker moments Jesus is dependent
on Judas. The film portrays Judas
as an excellent friertd and compan~
ion to Jesus. in a dramatic departure
front scripture Jesus orders Judas to
bring the soldiers so he cart be cru~
cified. He reluctantly obeys.
Hershey is excellent as Magda-
lene because she is equally convinc<
ing in scenes of anger and love.
The rest of the disciples are
sketchy and not well drawn. Scor-
sese could have tttade them stronger
and more of a presence without de-
tracting front the story of Jesus.

he said. “1 wanted to choose the
right piece to show my diversity
and show off my technical ability."

Since the work combines live
material and playing over,pre~
recorded music, Osland knows he
has to cotne in at just the right
time.

One of his special concerns was
not playing over an important re
corded message at the beginning of
the tape.

“Overall I wattt the recital to be a
statement of me," Osland said.
“The listener should be left
stunned. The Listener should be-
conte a thinker. That's what this
piece is all about. The listener
should become part of it."

Osland said that he believes that
he has grown musically since he
has been at UK.

“I think that‘s how you learn,"

he Silltl, ”I learn not only from the
one~on-one instruction biit also
frottt working with the Jan En-
semble."

While he reali/es that that mix-
ing live wttlt taped material is noth-
ing new, ()sland feels he is putting
a new split on an old idea. The re-
corded tnatertal is his own.

“It's rare that somebody plays a
tape of their own music," he said.
“It usually a recording of some oth-
er composer."

Since the saxophone was invent-
ed around the late l‘hh and early
30th century, the only music writ-
ten specifically for the saxophone is
contentixuary.

Louisville band’s new album unique

By HUNTER HAYES
Arts Editor

Smaller, lesser-known bands
have such a difficult time trying to
get people interested in their music
that few ever seriously consider
recording. That is a shame because
many people miss out on some
fine music.

Fortunately. some bands are bold
enough to venture into the world of
recording One such band, Big
Wheel, has _|llSl released its latest
effort. [first (find.

The lZ-song compact disc on
(iiant Records from the Louisville
group features some bright spots
that should inspire other college
bands to begin their recording ca-
f'CCI’S.

Side 1 opens wtth “Bang, Bang,
Bang" which, as the title suggests,
is an uptempo rocker. The vocals
are clear even if the lyrics are
cliched. The band plays together
quite solidly and it is this aspect
that unites the entire album.

The second song. “Burning
Down The Model Home," musical-
ly continues iii the same vein. The
band's influences seem to be a
melting pot of every hand from The
Who to current alternative hands.
This works greatly in the groap's
favor.

Big Wheel begins to assume
their own identities with “Big
Legged Woman.“ This marks the
first point in the record where the
band demonstrates its abilities as
unique musrcrans and songwriters.

The album flows smoothly.
Songs such as “Billboard Song"
and “Times You Need To Think"
give the record a sense of continui-
ty as well as developing the
group‘s style.

It is the tongue—in-cheek wrtti-
cism of “Sound So Familiar
(ACOUSIIC Song)" that the band ex-
cels in. The song attacks the lame
songwriting-f‘or-million-selling-
singles style of such bands as Poi-
sott and Bon Jovi. We've all heard
that formula before and we're tired
of it.

Big Wheel will play tonight at

There has been so much news
involving air transportation that
one has to stop and think Vi hether
flying is really that safe.

Just about everyone heard about
the Eastern flight that had to make
an emergency landing iii West \'ir~
ginia back iii 1988, due to a hole
near the top of the plane.

Later, they said that the hole
was caused by metal fatigue. They
had inspected the plane thoroughly
before it took off, it passed the in-
spection. Do they check for little
tttings like holes‘.’

On December 2i, tills‘ts’, Flight
103 never found its way to New
York front London. It wettt down
in Scotland, because of a bomb
planted on the plane. What hap~

What scared me was that the fa.
thcr of a friend was originally
scheduled to fly Flight 103, but
had switched with another pilot,
which Just might have saved his
life

Soon after that incident hap~
pened. a British airliner crashed
due to engine trouble. The reports
later said that the engines might
have been tampered with, because
no two-engined plane had ever lost
both engines at the same time.
How could someone walk into the

middle of an airport and mess with
an engine?

Everyone should be able to re-
member the British airliner that
landed at Blue Grass Airport here
in Lexington anti stayed ovemight.
At least 88 passengers, flew to
New York to pick up more pas-
sengers and then went onto Lon-
don. England. Just think, what if
that particular plane had gone
down?

Flying should be a safe way to
travel. When the airlines take re-
sponsibility for your life you
should be able to expect the utter
most care. Some of these airline
tragedies can be helped. I
