UK students waited patiently
in the cold yesterday morning for
more than an hour in UK's K—lot
because their bus to Central Cam—
pus failed to show up.

LexTran buses were running
late because they could not get the
engines to start in the cold weath-
er yesterday morning.

Steve Rowland, general manag-
er of LexTran, attributed the
problems to the cold weather.

“The buses‘ brakes are operat-
ed by the use of compressed air,"
Rowland said. “Sometimes these

“hen the temperature drops

up. causing the bus to lose air and
lock up."

To combat this problem Lex—
Tran attempted to use alcohol to
clear up the air lines. However,
because of the freezing tempera-
tures the alcohol froze, too.

“\Ve were beat by the weather
today." Rowland said.

The cold weather is not a prob—
lem only in Kentucky. This occurs
all over the country, even in the
north, where they are used to this

Playing
Games

By John Abbott

Senior Staff” 'riter

You are an evil half—ore warrior wearing chain
mail, fighting a drooling goblin to the death with
your enchanted sword.

You are at the helm of a BattleMaster, an 85-ton
robot armed with a half—dozen lasers, a machine gun,
a missile launcher and a deadly particle projection
cannon.

You are a sycho killer, dispatching your victims
with a pitchildrk, a post-hole digger and a Garden
\Veasel.

You must be a Miskatonic.

The Miskatonic Student Union is a role—playing
and comic book organization which has been at UK
since 1988. The group is made u of role-players
who assume a fictitious identity antrcan solve a mys-
tery,'battle for money and power, beat up the bad
guys, beat up the good guys or do anything else
within the expansive realm of these games.

The group derives its name from the writings of
novelist HP. Lovecraft. The main characters in a
number of his stories were associated with the fic-
tional Miskatonic University.

Economics and sociology senior Miwako Lyn
Hirano, who was last year’s president and is this
year’s treasurer, said the comic book side of the
MSU is what drew her in.

“I just had mentioned offhand that I like to read a
good story,” she said, “and someone handed me a
comic book and said, ‘Here’s a good story that I
think you mi ht like to read.”

It was Nei Gaiman’s The Sandman.

“I was hooked,” she said.

Physics and linguistics senior Chris Hall likes the
MSU as much for the weird people in it as he does
for the chance to pretend he’s a vampire and enslave
mortals.

“It’s mainly a social oup we just get a bunch
of people together antfltalk, and it always leads to
some interestin discussions,” he said. “We had one
discussion whicIi ended up with talking about using
Jesus’ head as a hand puppet and it started out so
calmly, too.”

Another afternoon’s was spent searching for the
equation to find the perfect bar in town, figuring in
such important factors as distance, cheapness and
quality of alcohol, and cuteness of waitresses.

“I’ve made a lot of good friends through the
MSU," Hirano said, “and even though several have
graduated, we keep in touch, because we’re a pretty
close-knit group."

Once a semester, the Miskatonics unleash the
LexiCon, a two~day carnival of vampires, super-
heroes, and giant robots clashing on the field of
imaginary combat.

Along with a number of role—playing games, the

yesterday afiernoon.

LexiCons feature vendors from gaming stores and
comic book stores, as well as Japanimation movies.

Hirano said the next Con, slated for March 29
and 30, the organization is trying to secure use of the
VVorsham Theater to show the films. This
semester's Con will have a Magic: The Gathering
tournament, and a miniatures-painting contest.

If you're not in the mood to cast magic spells or
butcher monsters, you can come to the Con and play
a relaxing game of Clue or Monopoly instead.

Cons also generally include representatives from
companies which manufacture role-playing games,
like FASA, the company which puts out BattleTech;
TSR, which is responsible for the granddaddy of the
genre, Dungeons and Dragons; and White \Volf,
which puts out Vampire. Speaking of fangs

“Last night I was fighting as a werewolf and
killing various minions of Satan," said MSU Vice
President Chris Crockett, a computer science
sophomore.“I was a good werewolf."

Music professor Gordon Cole has served as the
MSU’s faculty adviser since 1994.

“Is that what I signed?" he asked of the adviser
sign-up sheet he endorsed one day two springs ago.

“I can't remember the name of the student who
got me to sign that, but he said he needed a faculty
adviser that’s the first and last I ever heard of it,"
he said.

Hall said that the MSU is an unusually eclectic
bunch. Hirano agreed.

“\Ve've had conservatives in our group, we‘ve had
liberals, but it doesn't matter," she said. “\Ve can all
find a common ground in role—playing and in comic

books."

A UK specialist in clinical drug stud-
ies and 30 Kentucky patients have been
a part of HIV treatment studies result-
ing in a breakthrough.

Dr. Richard Greenberg and the Ken-
tucky patients were part of a study on
the drug ritonavir, a rotease inhibitor,
which interferes wit the HIV virus’s
attempts to replicate itself.

At an international conference last
week, study results released show that
patients takin ritonavir in combination
with other AIDS drugs such as AZT live
longer and delay the onset of AIDS-
relatcd diseases.
study is a milestone
because for t e first time we have

cases.

patients taking AZT and indinavir for
five months did not have any HIV virus
in their blood.

Greenbcrg said patients on AZT
alone show no drop in the virus level.

Only 5 to 10 percent of patients on
AZT and the drug 3TC approved in
November show reduction in the virus
level.

The thousand-fold lower level of
HIV in the patients in the indinavir
study “has instilled a great deal of
hope.”

“\Ve’re changing the shape of this
disease,” Greenberg said.

“We can now slow it down.”

Greenberg said the FDA should have
ritonavir and indinavir approved and
released by early April.

A part of a new study b the National
Institute of Health to determine the
effectiveness of treatment with a combi-
nation of AZT, 3TC and indinavirwill
now be done at UK on advanced disease
patients.

“If this shows that people benefit fur-

\ ’-

AIDS will be on protease inhibitor."
Greenbcrg said.

“How much more do the protease
inhibitors help than the best treatment
we have now (AZT and ITC) without
them?"

More than [00 Kentucky atients
have been enrolled in all the studies.

He said patients are being recruited
in Kentucky because of the endemic
nature of the disease here and the num-
ber of patients who have had no treat-
ment.

Greenberg became part of the studies
through his role in the Kentucky AIDS
Consortium, a cooperation between UK
and the University of Louisville.

“Although this has been based at UK,
we could not have contributed without
the community and U of L,” (ireenberg
said.

“UK had done a lot for the state.”

Grecnberg said although the new
treatments are not cures, the are a big
step because they “maintain the virus in

a controlled ornon-replicating state.”

Salvi trial begins under heavy security

DICDHAAI, Mass. — State troopers. bomb
squad technicians and metal detectors greeted
potential iurors yesterday as_lohn C. Sabi III went
on trial for the shooting deaths of two receptionists
.it abortion clinics.

Salvi, 23. entered the courthouse wearing leg
irons, handcuffs and. as usual, a blue blazer a bit
small for him. He showed no emotion in the courti
room and did not acknowledge his father or crying
mother, who reached out her hand and softly called
her only child's name.

Salvi used previous court appearances to espouse
bizarre views, such as his theory of a conspiracy
against Catholics. But he has not addressed the
abortion issue since his arrest, and it was evident
only on signs carried by a couple of protesters out-
side.

Salvi is charged with two counts of first-degree
murder and five counts of assault with intent to
murder. His attorneys do not dispute his involve-
ment in the shootings and plan an insanity defense.

“hether or not that pans out, of
course, remains to be seen. Pitino
did put UMass a head above the

UK.

“Massachusetts is in a class by
itself," Pitino said Saturday.
“\\'e're in the hunt, but if anyone
thinks we can simply beat Mas-
sachusetts that’s fool’s gold."

Pitino said UMass’ defense
makes all the difference.

“They play defense like starving
dogs, like they haven’t eaten in
weeks,” he said.

L'Mass barely defeated Xavier
(Ohio) Sunday in overtime. The
Minutemen have won three over-
time games this season.

UK's players also turned
thoughts to March Madness.

Junior Derek Anderson is plan-
ning what he termed a revenge

“That’s what it’s all about —
playing the best," Anderson said. “I

You’ve gotta want to play the best

\Vinning on the road is difficult for most college

basketball teams, especially for teams in a
league like the Southeastern Conference.
\Vith teams having to travel to hostile
places like Arkansas’ Bud \Valton Arena, Van-
derbilt’s Memorial Gymnasium and L'K’s
Rupp Arena, it is not surprising to see SEC
teams only posting a 1-1-38 record in confer—
ence games on their opponent’s home court.
For those non-math majors out there. that
amounts to only a 26.9 percent winning per-

centage.

If you take UK’s perfect 4-0 road record
out of the mix, the percentage drops to woeful

20.8 percent.

Auburn, Georgia, Ole .Miss and Tennessee
all have been unsuccessful in their attempts to
win a conference road game, combining for a

0-19 mark.

Other than the Cats, only Arkansas and
Mississippi State have winning records on the
road. The Razorbacks have won two out of
three games away from Fayetteville, while the
Bulldogs have won three of five outside of Humphrey

Coliseum.

LSU coach Dale Brown credits several factors for
the miserable record of road teams.

“You have weather problems getting places,
you have the fans, you have sometimes different

The LSU coach also targeted one group in
particular which he felt plays a big part in the
outcome of the game —— the officials.

“I honestly think officials get caught up in
the home crowd that's aggressive and vocifer-

The (i-foot-9 center from Co umbus has sat out the last six games
while Louisville investigates whether his use ofa 1991 Honda Accord,
now owned by his father, John Walker, violated the NCAA’s “extra ben-
efit” rule.

“I can't talk about the specifics of any of it,” said Ray Nystrand, head
of Louisville’s internal investi tion.

John \Valker said he boug t the car Aug. 8, before school had started,
from Anthony Huff, the president of Corporate Insurance Services Inc.

Huff also runs North American Truckin Association, which gave
Samaki Walker a part-time summer job as a le clerk. John Walker said
one of his son's employers mentioned the company was selling several
cars.

“I paid cash for it and they were supposed to take care of the paper-
work and send the title,”John Walker said.

He said the car dealer was late in sending him the title.

“The car dealer didn't process the paper like the said they would. As
a result, it made it look like there were under-the-to le dealings,” he said.

Abiodun Oyewole (pronounced Ah—bee-oh‘

ber of the Last Poets.

Much needs to be written about the effects
of that cup of volatile urban griots. Suffice it

conga rhythms speaking from some taproot
that s an idea ofwhat was happening.

However, this is 1996, 26 years after the
release of that first album.

2) Iran is a recap of Abiodun’s experiences
and observations, still wrapped in bittersweet
images and hand drums, still potent and
poi ant.

he focus of this record is on the music of
metaphor and message instead of notes and
melody. Every line spoken by ‘Doon carries a
commitment to the politics of people and their
thoughts, coming right out and callin the
caca, tendering affection, offering hell) or
dropping science.

For example, the
son “Dread Brother”
is a I about the rasta
reggae culture and its
superficial subversions.

The album will make Vou think and ask
questions, or maybe throw it away in anger.

Transition

strewn plains of jazz, looking across the addic-
tions, stumbling atonality, lounge- ~muzak and
raped ghosts, stands (yraham Haynes

Haynes a comet player that worked with
Steve Coleman and Five Elements, has
released a record that takes jazz to the level
that would have occurred after the fusion
movement if everyone hadn’t been so caught
up in the “nice” harmonies and dug deeper
into records like Miles Davis’ Agbarm.

The record kicks it out with a Coltrane tune
transmogrified into the twenty—first century by
hip-box beats and scratches a la the “rap
machine" and Vernon Reid (of Living Color)
fuzzing the improv lines into soulful static.

From there the record takes a stroll through
the psychomental realms of convective corner
riffs and various excised melodies supported by
a wash of backwards drum beats; an Indian-
style jam with spin—cyclic melodies; gorgeous
harmonies with circumcised rhythm; meters
that jerk your feet off in different directions;
and a capella singing from iVIoorish Spain.

Although the book is written by

political book.

It is loosely organized around
Bradley's travels across America
from urban ghettos, a Sioux
reservation and the coal—country
Appalachia of I’restonburg, Ky.

In the book, Bradley also asks
questions other politicians would
never ask, questions concerning
the things he believes in: com-
munity, faith, jiistic, hope and
humanity's potential to grow.

And yes, he will even answer
all those questions about why he
is leaving the Senate and where
he is going and \\ hat he‘ll do
next.
