Senate to vote
on attendance

By HRAIH‘UOPER
Assistant News Editor

Wilbur li‘rye. chairman of the Uni-
versity‘s Senate (‘ouncil. sees atten-
dance as a tool instructors can use
for learning

Anything short of not requiring it.
li‘i‘ye says. would be carelessness.

“There is a correlation between
class attendance and grades. To
know that attendance increases
learning and then to not use it . . .
would almost seem negligent." said

senator, sees rec .. ed attendance as

students. who can achieve passing
grades while missing classes. to an
"in\ alid grading factor "

Monday the two sides will meet on
the University Senate floor when
Weaver will offer an amendment to
a proposal on excused absences that
would require instructors to justify
why class attendance is part of
grading criteria.

The amendment. Erye said,
“would be eliminating the possibility
of an instructor to require atten-
dance."

If the senate passes Weaver‘s
amendment, it would be attached to
a proposal passed at the council‘s
Dec. 4 meeting. That proposal would
allow students to withdraw from a
class if they miss more than 20 per-
cent of their classes with excused
absences.

University Senate Rules stipulate
a 10 percent ceiling on excused ab-
sences. The senate will vote on the
excused absences rule Monday.

Eastern Kentucky has
potential, Stumbo says

By (‘..\. DIANE HONIFER
Staff Writer

In (irady Stumbo believes east»
ern Kentucky has tremendous poten-
tial and its future rests in educating
its youth.

The Democratic candidate for
governor addressed about 30 stu-
dents of the Appalachia Leadership
l’roject yesterday in 228 Student
(enter

"its been a feeling for a long time
that the future of Appalachia is
going to be shaped by the people
w be live there," he said.

.\ccording to the 1K graduate.
there are five potential or existing
problems that are preventing Ken-
tucky‘s mountain region from eco-
nomic growth and development

Stumbo said one of the problems
has been the increase in transfer
payments from the federal governe-
ment

The economies of many eastern
Kentucky communities have not di—
versified as a result of the funding.
nor Iias it produced many "spinoff"
jobs. he said

Instead. Stumbo said many people
l1.i\t' become apathetic and have
lit‘i‘ll content with government jobs
obtained on “who they know" rather
w li.it they know.

Another problem Stumbo has dis-
coiered in eastern Kentucky is the
rising number of elderly people who
have no one to watch out for them.

According to Stumbo. many of the
elderly have retired to the moun-
tains after living out of town for
years

Pianist

l’iaiiist James Shames will take

the Lexington Philharmonic when
they perform at 8 tonight at the UK

Sliames will open the concert with
Bernstein‘s Symphony No. 2. “The
Age of Anxiety" By way of con

works by itimsky-Korsakov. Mus-
sorgsky and Tchaikovsky.

This evening‘s audience will be lis-
tening to someone who. according to
his critics. may well be one of the
truly great pianists in the United
States and the world.

Since his debut with the Boston
Pops in 1974 at the age of 12.

The amendment. which is spon-

Senator John Menkhaus, calls for
the words “attendance in class" to
be replaced by “participtation in

Frye said a change in the propo-

more ambiguous and thereby harder
to pass on the senate floor.

“Attendance is easy to measure
relatively," he said, “but partici-
pation in class is a nebulous term.

“I‘m not sure how as an instructor

Black filmmakers
breaking stereotype

By JAYE HI‘II‘IIIIR
Staff Writer

Black directors and actresses are
escaping the stereotyped attitudes
that have plagued the film industry
for years. said \‘alerie Smith. a pro»
fessor from Princeton l'niversity

In her examination of the work of
two black women directors last
night. Smith commented on the
changing attitudes in the film indus-
try.

In the l’ial Gallery of M 1 King
Library North. South compared the
role of black actresses in the 1933
novel "Imitation of Life" iby Fannie
Hurstlyi ,. and two films based on
the novel and of the same title
with their role in the 1981 "Fannie's
Film" by Fron/a \\oodsand. and
”Suzanne. Suzanne. the 1982 film
by Camille liillops and James
Hatch.

“Black woman film directors are

taking new directions in the cine—
ma." Smith said

She probed the stereotypes that
have many black actresses portray
demeaning roles in films. The per-
sistence of these negative stereo—
types are a sign that many filmmak-
ers and audiences refuse to accept
modern attitudes. she said

"Many of the roles are objectified
by placement of character and the
plot of the movie." Smith said

"Many black actresses portray
the traditional black niammy that is
content with just being domestic
help to her white boss These char
acters don't have any life outSIde
their jobs in 'lmitatioii of Life.' "
she said,

Today. however. black actresses
are portraying a different kind of
role. as shown in ”Funnies Film."

subject of three television shows. in-
cluding the F88 Late Night Show.

As well as being a concert musi-
cian. Shanta is also a respected tea—
cher and scholar. He was graduated
in philosophy from Yale University
and is now a professor at Cornell

Much of the technical excellence.
mature sensitivity and. above all,
confidence for which Shams is cele—
brated stems from his philosophical
approach to music.

“A composition." Shaina said.
“is merely a framework into which
the musician is able to infuse his
own ‘story.’ The notes on the page
require complete reanalysis to over-
come both technical problems and
the problem of emotional interpreta-
tiori.

“These two factors are one and
the same . . . There is no distinction
between an artist‘s technique and
his emotional interpretation,“
Shamos said.

Money offered for keeping journal

By KAREN PHILLIPS
Staff Writer

A new UK Honors Program schol-
arship is giving freshmen a reason
to keep journals not only for person-
al satisfaction. but also for a profit.

The Opportunity is being offered in
the form of a non-credit course and
will award $500 to a senior in the
Honors Program who has partici-
pated in the course since his fresh-
man year.

At the beginning of their senior
year. class members will have their
journals judged on the basis of how
much they have learned — academi-
cally and personally. said Raymond
Betts. director of the UK Honors

Program and creator of the journal
scholarship.

“The purpose. l think. is a very
good one." Betts said. “It's to get
students to constantly examine
themselves by what they‘re doing
and thinking. And. with the notion
that the journal will be a reflection
of what they were like at that time
intheirlife.“

Class workshops. held twice a
month. accompany the scholarship
to help guide the students in keeping
their journal.

"The workshop is for discussing
what a journal is. what it looks like.
and what (studentSI would want to
think about in terms of what to put
in it." said John Gatton. an assistant

SADD chapter begins
organizational efforts

Students Agaimt Driving Drunk —
a group promoting responsible
drinking —- met last night for orga-
nizational and plannirg purposes

But like many new groups - get-
ting started is often the hardest
thing todo.

“My question is why is there were
only eight out of 23,000 students
(here),“ said Joe Vap. a member of
the new SADD chapter, which will
be an official UK «sanitation with-
in a month.

Despite the small turnout at last
night‘s meeting. officers were elect-
ed and activities were suggested to
promote SADDori campus.

“This organization is not going to
sit back and judge you." said Paul
Rogers. SADD president. "We just
want to tell people about the prob-
lems of driving drunk and get them
to think about it."

“We're not going to be an authori-
ty on the problem.“ said Valerie
Garcie, group member. “You're al-
lowed to drink and have a good
time, but be rospomible cow not
to drive while you‘re intoxicntd."

“You don't have to be (rim to

said.

The group would like to W a

It‘s a gtiidepost so they can look
back from time to time and see if
they're progressing and how they're
progressing." (iatton said

“But the main purpose (it tht‘ jour-
nal scholarship is not to give away
money, but to give students. a way to
view their own development. now
and later.

“The virtue of a journal is that it's
alway fresh. It's how it was written
at the time," Belts said. “There‘s a
quality of authentiCity to it that will
show when they go back to find out
who they were.“

But if the game goes the way it

tough task of guarding 6-9 junior
center Derrick McKey.

“McKey is the best player in the
league." Sutton said. “It will take a
major effort on our part for is to
stop him and beat them down

there." .
The versatile center, who aver-

ages 18.7 points per game, racked
up 25 points and pulled down nine
rebounds against UK in the first
meeting.

And the fact that McKey is not
afraid to take the ball outside makes
him even harder to defend against.

In that game, he hit a shot from
three-point territory.

"The first time we played I didn‘t
expect him to go out on the floor as
far as he did," Lock said. “i will
just have to play good defense and
stay with him."

Sutton said he realizes Alabama is
a better ballclub than Kentucky and
believes it will be difficult for any-
one in the SEC to take the Tide out

But with a strong showing, the

“I don't think anybody can catch

team to knock them out of first
place."

cc to turn

back the ’Bama Tide

By C.A. DUANE BONIFER
Staff Writer

Alabama’s Lois Myers may be
lei the person Terry Hall needs to
talk to to get her team out of their
season slide.

And tomorrow night at 7:30 she
will get her chance when UK takes
on the Crimson Tide at Memorial
Coliseum.

Until Wednesday night, Alabama
was as in the Southeastern Confer-
ence, losing three consecutive con-
ference games.

But Wednesday night Alabama
turned things around with a 21-point
routing of Mississippi State. State
trounced UK last week by 20 points.

“I’d like to think we are on our
way back up," Myers said.

However, the Lady Kats may be
on their way down — and at the
worst possible time.

Following a 72-53 thrashing at the

hands of the No. 2 Auburn Lady Ti-
gers, the Lady Kats dropped to 11-9
overall. and 1—5 in the conference.

Even though Alabama is not as
nationally prominent as Auburn, it
is still a force to be reckoned with.

Alabama was predicted to be just
over .500, but it won 12 of its first 14
games. And Myers thought that may
have caused her team's slump.

“We weren‘t supposed to be any
good and we had been doing better
than we expected." she said. “And
then we started to put pressure on
ourselves to win.“

Alabama is led by its baekcourt
duo of junior Cynthia McDougle and
sophomore Tracey Rutledge, who
are combining for 32.7 points a con-
test.

Dee Dee Davis. Alabama's sole se—
nior, is the leading rebounder With
7.3 a game and is tossing in 91
points per game.

It was a year when a 19-year-old,
Brett Easton Ellis, wrote a smarmy,
critically acclaimed book.

It was also a year when a band of
five 17- and 18-year-old musicians
from Louisville signed a contract
with the American independent re-
cord label ruler, Homestead Re-
cords.

The result: Squirrel Bait was crit-
ically acclaimed for its sheer guitar
and vocal power on both sides of the
underground and a runaway
sales hit.

The music world awaited the sec-
ond Squirrel Bait product, the just-
released Shag Heaven, with baited
turntables.

Meanwhile, the band broke up.

There are at least two sides to
every story in the naked city. (That
makes a total of 14 million stories,
not 7 million as originally reported).

The facts of the story go like this:
They were born into relative afflu-
ence in Louisville and played pri-
vate school parties. They went off to
college as their first record was
making waves on the college radio
waves.

*1. 'th210. 3',“ .41.: .1. ‘

home in Louisville.
The album speaks for itself ,

Grubbs, 20. is an English major at
Georgetown University in Washing-
ton, D.C. His new band, a two-boys-
and-theirdrum-machine outfit. is
called Sweet Husk.

McMahan, 18, IS a senior at The
Brown School in Louisville. He is
resurrecting a band from behind the
rock that was Maurice.

Johnson, 20, is a Russian major at
Northwestern Universny in Chicago.
He watches TV with his cat while
nervously fidgeting with a flatwound
bass string.

Searcy, 20. studies cello on a full
music scholarship at the University
of Louisville. He now sings in Fancy
Pants. which includes members of
the late Folks on Fire.

Daughtrey, 21, drew the fancy fish
on the Shag Heaven cover. Now he
wears the bandannas in Fancy
Pants.

How and why and when and where
did the band break up?

McMahan: At the end of summer

., Igot real sick. I had something
close to spinal meningitis and had a
spinal tap done improperly. Like I
couldn‘t get out of bed for two
weeks. That sort of stomped on our
plans for a last show 1 in Louisville i
and some in Lexington and
Cincinnati.

And what had been interpreted as
my negative attitude towards Ben
especially. they thought I was sort
of playing them off. That became
kind of a convenient reason . . then
there were plans for a Christmas
show here tin Louisville! . . . then
me and Grubbs and Clark talked
and decided we didn‘t want to do it
Grubbs is the main songwriter. the
creative force. He felt limited . , by
what might be in the future for
Squirrel Bait. Grubbs and Johnson
and I came together, At which paint
Peter and Ben simultaneously quit
— “you can’t fire me. I quit . "

Johnson: It broke up on a phone
conversation between me and Dave
in October. Dave was pretty tired of
it, and it turned out that l was the
only one who really wanted to keep
doing it. It was pretty uncool of me
to make him do something just
because I wanted to. wed done
everything we wanted to do and had
a lot of fun. I chickened out of
telling Ben and Peter and made
Dave do it,

Grubbs: Squirrel Bait ncvcr
sucked in my opinion. so that w as
reason enough to t'llll ll a day

Searcy: We‘d been in the process
ofa breakup for a long time Ben
and I broke from the band last
summer because .

Daughtrey . They thought it was
funny to charge this girl $150 to have
us play a birthday party at her
house. I mean. she was a friend of
Ours , . . but we got back together
after that. and it was more like
you‘re a drummer, I'm a guitar
player, more of a musician's
standpoint. not a friends. 0:: the
tour, there were even different
sections (within the band i, We rode
in different vehicles and even during
the day we were never together.

Searcy: I don‘t hate Dave and
Clark. And I don't think they really
hate me. It‘s just Ben they don‘t like

. we have different backgrounds.

Daughtrey: The new album was
just finished and I called Dave to
ask when we‘re going to tour and he
said “No, I‘m quitting the band and
so is Clark." Right when we were
getting where we wanted to be with
the band.

Searcy: It wasn‘t maybe what
they wanted from the band.

Daughtrey: But it was what me
and Peter wanted, But that was it
Just a phone call.

Searcy: Just a phone call he
wasn‘t going to make.

What‘s going to happen about 3 our
contract with Homestead? Is it
fulfilled?

McMahan: Yeah, We have no
legal obligations to Homestead
Grubbs called Gerard (Cosloy.
Homestead Records president 1 and
he was totally understanding and
said he would help with anything the
three of us did together or
independently in the future

Johnson: We never had a deal like
we owe them a certain number of
records. They have an option
and can pick up the Squirrel Bait
reunion on TV 10 years from now.

Daughtrey: Yeah. It's over. We
had to add one full-length song .
“Too Close to the Fire." it‘s pretty
obvious — to make the record long

enoughtobeanLP.

Is there any chance that all five
members of the original Bait will
get back together?

McMahon: I have no idea,

Jdinaon: NO.

(Left to right in the background) David Grubbs. 20.
an EllgllSll major at Georgetown Universny and
Peter Searcy, 20. a music major at the University

Grubbs: Highly unlikely.

Searcy - Stranger things have
happened

Daughtrey: I would say no.

Not ('1 on to tour Europe?

McMahan: Only if it’s with Steve
:\ll’)lnl as our bus driver.

(irubbs: No way.

Daughtrey : No, they'd get Peter
for that . to play Europe. not to drive
the bus .2 I doubt if they'd get me.

Searcy Yeah. me and a drum
machine

What are your plans musically
novi ‘.‘

)lcxlahan: The guitarist that
replaced me in Maurice and the
drummer . Britt Walford, who
played with an earlier form of
Squirrel Bait l are who I‘m playing
with now. It's like a three—way tie
for last with the name: “Bead:
Small. 'I‘lght. Dirty Balls of Hair“ or
"Shin ‘ or my personal favorite
'fSaab like the car.

Peter got a lot of attention with
the «Squirrel Bait) vocals, but with
this. any vocals, I‘ll bedoing. and
1m not as confident about that, so
the vocals‘ll be played real low.

Grubbs: I‘m in a really rockin‘
band in DC. We‘ll probably call it
Sweet Husk. It ‘s a two—piece with a
drum machine. We‘re mean and
serious as hell. We do a Leonard
(‘ohen cover A» “Diamonds in the
Mine."

Johnson: I‘m just watching TV.
No, really. I want to start a band.
but this is like the worst city
it‘hicagm to start a band in. One.
I'm not a very good bass player. I
only want to be in a band where I
can tell everyone what to do, and if
you‘re with a bunch of guys who
play better than you . . . I also have
a cat.

Daughtrey Peter and I are putting
a rap single out, and playing improv
blues and jazz with people around
town anywhere anytime. And the
new band. Fancy Pants, which is the
main thing.

Searcy: It '5 like funk beats with
big guitars and big guitars with funk
beats. It's a variety and it's a
‘pawty' attitude.

Other types of plans?

\Ii-Mahan: I‘ve been to
Northwestern, and I love it. I love
(‘hicago and the bands there. Right
now. I‘d enroll in the college of arts
and sciences and maybe he an
English major in writing, but I‘m
getting really interested in the
technical aspects of film, like
production, direction. Definitely
humanities. I almost failed my pre-
calculus class.

Johnson: I‘m a Russian major So
I want to go to the Soviet Union
within the next year and a half and
find a woman who looks like
Nastasia Kinski and marry her so
she can have her freedom and she
will be so happy to have her
freedom that she will worship me
and be my sex slave.

(irubbs: Write books
