Professor, 3 others
put in hall of fame

By THOMAS J. SULLIVAN
Staff Writer

Former CBS News reporter David
Dick, a professor in the UK journa-
lism department, is one of four 1987
inductees into the Kentucky Journa‘
lism Hall of Fame.

Hugh llaynie, editorial cartoonist
for The Courier-Journal for 29
years; Fred J. Burkhard, former ed-
itor and publisher of the Casey
County News and the late Alan M.
Trout, Frankfort correspondent and
columnist for the (Louisville) Cou~
rier-Journal for 39 years, were also
inducted

Dick says he feels honored to be
among such distinguished company

"1 met Hugh (Hayniei when I
worked at WHAS, and I’ve admired
him for a long time," Dick said.

And when it comes to the late
Alan Trout, Dick is especially hon-
ored. “I have a special place in my
heart for Trout. whom I‘ve never
met," he said. “I read his column
for a long time, he just had a feel
for Kentucky people.‘ '

Dick’s admiration for Trout has
even lead him to make Trout the
subject of a piece of poetry.

The poem discusses how "Alan
Trout used to wonder a lot ab0ut the
idiocy out on the highway to warn
people about falling rocks,“ Dick
said.

Trout couldn’t understand why
signs on the highway warned “fall-
ing rocks," or "fallen rocks“ for
that matter, Dick said. if they were
fallen rocks then why didn‘t they
just remove them from the road.
and if they were falling then they‘d

l'K is attempting to get more
black students interested in high-
er education by initiating a two-
year program designed to famil-
iarize them with college life.
according to an article in the
Lexington Herald-Leader yester-
dav.

Victor Gaines. executive direc-
tor of minority resource devel-
opment at the University, said 60
black area junior high school stu-
dents will attend classes lasting a
half a day each Saturday begin-
ning March 21 through June 1.

During June, the sessions will
be each weekday and the stu-
dents will be taken on field trips
as well. Gaines said.

Gaines said the program has a
dual purpose concerning the stu-
dents involved. “The main pur-
pose is to encourage minority
youth to seek post-secondary edu-
cation. A second motive is to get
them interested in UK." he said.

SDX panel

discusses
information

By WILL RENSHAW
Staff Writer

The Society of Professional Jour-
nalists, Sigma Delta Chi, sponsored
a meeting last night in 225 Jouma-
lism Building commemorating the
birthday of first amendment author.
James Madison.

Sigma Delta Chi has recently rec‘
ognized James Madison as a major
contributor to the establishment of
the first amendment by naming
March 16 Freedom of Information
Day. In honor of this date SDC titled
its question/answer session the
“Freedom of Information Panel."

The panel comisted of four people
selected for their variance in the
fields of journalism and law. Includ-
ed was Ray Moore. visiting profes-
sor of journalism; Brad Canon. pro-
fessor of political science; John
Rogers. professor of Law. and Kit
Wager. a reporter for the Lexington
Herald-Leader.

The openim points of the meeting
exposed the difference between the
freedom of the press, voiced in the
Constitution, and the Freedom of In-

UK receives $1 million
to examine cholesterol

By EVAN SllNERSTElN
Staff Writer

A program headed by five UK
Medical Center researchers re-
ceived $959,000 yesterday to help as-
sist in the search for ways of lower—
ing the incidence of cardiovascular
disease.

Cardiovascular disease is respon-
sible for nearly one million Ameri-
can deaths each year.

“We saw this as a big opportunity
to lower the risks for heart disease.“
said Dr. James Anderson. program
coordinator, at a news conference.

The National Institute of Health
presented the grant to be used to
fund a two-phase project called the
UK Cholesterol and Cardiovascular

Risk Reduction Program, said Gail
Hairston. a communication special-
ist for the office of public affairs.

The first phase, a public aware-
ness program, will educate the pub-
lic on the relationship between high
blood cholesterol levels and cardio
vascular disease.

During the next six months. the
program will offer free screenings
to measure blood pressure and cho-
lesterol levels.

According to the US. Department
of Health and Human Services, fat
and cholesterol circulate in the
blood and are depOSited in the inner
walls of the arteries. Over a period
of years. scar tissues and debris col-
lect as a continuous flow of choles-
terol and fat build up.

This buildup causes a continuous
narrowing of the arteries. This proc-
ess. called atherOsclerosis, results in
heart attack when one or more of
the arteries become critically nar-
rowed and a blood clot forms at the
site of narrowing.

During the first phase of the pro-
ject, screening of blood pressure and
cholesterol levels will be offered for
people between the ages of 30 and
50. Those interested in this free
screening should call 254-4059 to
make an appointment.

The second phase of the UK Cho-
lesterol and Cardiovascular Risk
Reduction Program will involve four
clinical research projects. Hairston

Appalachian students perform
favorably at UK, report says

By DAN HASSERT
Senior Staff Writer

Appalachian students perform as
well if not better in college than
other students, according to a report
from the UK Appalachian Center.

However, the report says myths
that Appalachian students are “gen-
erally unsuited and ill-prepared for
academic work” still exist. indicat-
ing a need to destroy stereotypes.

The report also says UK should
work to change its image, which to
many people in the mountains is
that of a “large. impersonal" and
“indifferent" place.

The report was initially prepared
for the center and UK administra-
tors but will be used on a larger
basis because "we were in fact sur-
prised with what we found." said
Ron Eller, the center‘s director.

These findings “should lay to rest
a lot of myths that exist about Appa-

lachian students today. especially
Appalachian students at UK." Eller
said.

The report said “there is little dif-
ference in performance between
eastern Kentucky students at UK
and those from other regions."

A study of ACT scores. classroom
performance and retention rates
showed that differences between Ap-
palachian and other students are
“insignificant or non-extstent,"

During the 1985~86 school year,
there were 3.116 Appalachian stu-
dents at UK. comprismg 18 percent
of the University's student popula-
tion. The percentage in upper le1-
son programs was a "significant" 29
percent.

“The student population at UK is
in great degree an elite population
of Appalachian students." Weller
said.

However. the report says a dispr0«
portionate number of these students

come from a limited number of Ap-
palachian counties ——» those that ad-
join the Bluegrass region. those
coal-producmg counties near the
Virginia line and those that include
the area's largest towns.

Research shows an inadequacy of
UK recruiting in eastern Kentucky
that often leaves some high schools
in the poorer areas unvrsited. This
both contributes to and is caused by
“the perception of UK as a cold and
indifferent institution." the report
says.

The report stresses the need for
UK “to develop the leadership po-
tential necessary to improve the
quality of life in the state . . includ-
ing areas like Appalachia." The pro-
gram would concentrate on keeping
talented graduates within the state
and within the Appalachian area.

Powell forced to help with murders
by lesbian lover Foster, lawyer says

Associated Press

Tina Hickey Powell joined in a
killing spree that resulted in the
deaths of five people because she
was afraid of LaFonda Fay Foster,
her lesbian lover. Powell‘s attorney
said yesterday.

“Tina panicked when Fay started
shooting the people,“ said Gene
Lewter, as he began presenting evi-
dence he hopes will save Powell
from being sentenced to death. “Fay
gave her the knife and said. ‘Here,
stab them. ' ”

Out of fear. Powell obeyed, Lewt-
er said.

"Just like a wife who is the victim
of abuse and learns to know when
the violence is going to come, Tina
knows not to mess with Fay some-
times." said Lewter. who said Tina
played the role of a battered wife in
the women‘s lesbian relationship.

say." Rodgers said. “The F01 Act
provides that government agencies
have to give out information. "

“The name F01 is really a misno-
mer. It should be called the Disclo-
sure of Documents Act," Rodgers
said.

Rodgers continued by stating that
the F01 and freedom of the press
are two very different things. at
which point Wager disagreed saying
that the twowent “hand in hand."

“You can't have one without the
other." Wager said.

Moore interjected that the F01

“wasn‘t designed to carry out duties
of first amendment because the F01
only covers fifty major (govern-
ment) agencies."

The debate then moved to the
problems encountered in the F01.
basically consisting of a possible
lack of public awareness and the red
tape surrounding its use.

“The real problem is that they
(the public) don‘t know where to
gather information.“ Moore said.
“The public needs to know what‘s
available."

Dewter said Powell‘s ability to make
a decision on the night of the. slay-
ings also was hampered by the alco-
hol and drugs she had used

Lewter said evidence he will pre-
sent, including testimony from Pow-
ell. will show Foster had beaten his
client several times and considered

night the five Lexington residents

New beach games offer
alternatives to drinking

By ANNETTE POOLE
Contributing Writer

The newest form of entertainment
to hit the beaches for the thousands
of college students venturing to
Florida for spring break promises
fun and excitement for all.

The popular “hot spots" are the
beaches. Many UK students are
seeking warmth and sun at Fort
Lauderdale. Daytona. Miami and
Fort Meyers Beach. This spring
break season most of these beaches
are sponsoring a new form of recre-
ation - “beach games.“

In Fort Lauderdale, the tourism
and business community organized
a special task force to ensure the
safety of the college students. This
group of 28 businesses and hoteliers
developed the idea of collegiate
games to offer alternatives to those
under the legal drinking age of 21.

The college games are based on
intercollegiate competition. similar
to the intramural program at UK.
The competitions are to be held ev-
eryday on the Fort Lauderdale
Beach. The featured game this year
is “Beach Blanket Bingo." It is
played on a blanket board using peo-
ple as chips. Other featured events
include basketball. inflatable hydro-

plane races. volleyball. tugof-war.
aerobics and dance contests.

The Daytona Beach Chamber of
Commerce is keeping the college
students entertained during their

the topic of how to use the micro-
computer in speCial education."
Blackhurst said. "The programs will
be designed to be used in specral ed
ucation teacher education pro-
grams "

Blackhurst said microcomputers
are used in a variety of different
ways to teach handicapped children
One example of their use is in “drill
and practice" games that enable
handicapped students to practice
skills they already know Microcom
puters can also be used as tools for
handicapped children.

“if a handicapped child has poor
handwriting. and many do, they can
use a word processor to avoid the
problem. They can also be med with
blind children because they can be
programmed with speech synthesiz-
ers.” he said

The project has a budget period of
216 months beginning this July.

“on June 30, 1988, Phase I of the
pI‘OJBCI will have been completed
and at that time it will be consid-
ered whether to continue the pro-
tect." said Pamela Pearlman, press
secretary for Rep. Larry Hopkins.

“The project has been approved
for three years on a continuation
proposal." Blackhurst said. “In the
first year, we will design four [ro-
grams. the second year we will field
test the first programs and finish
the last four, the third year we will
do revisiors based on the field
tests."

If progress is made the funding
will be continued after the first
year. These programs will be used
at colleges and universities around
the United States, Blackhurst said.

“I think the exercise is very useful

But contra aid supporters said the

spring break. Each week is filled
with concerts and other special
events that cater to college stu-
dents, said Debi Yates of the
Chamber of Commerce. Some
events include concerts, comedy
shows and sports competitiom.

“For the past several years, we
have been trying to provide some
good clean fun for the college stu-
dents," Yates said. “And so far it
hasbeenabighitforDaytona.”

The most publicized event is
the Second Annual National Col-
legiate Sports Festival. It is open
to any college student with at
least nine credithours.

There are team sports as well
as individual sports. “Lasar Tag
is being played this year for the
first time on any beach." said
Michael Orlando of the National
Collegiate Sports Foundation, the
sponsor of the event.

This type of tag is played with
a lasar tag gun and if the oppo-
nent is hit on the receiver pad,
thegameisover.

College teams, such as Ohio
State, Slippery Rock, Michigan
State and Georgia State. will
compete for the titles in flag foot-
ball, basketball, softball, soccer,
“ultimate frisbee,” volleyball
and rugby. Individuals may com-
pete in golf, tennis, swimming, a
five-kilometer run, cycling and a
fitness course.

“Additional points will be
awarded to anyone who donates a
pint of blood to the American Red
Cross booth set up at the game
sites,” said Orlando. “It is one of
the positive aspects of the compe-

‘ tition. The kids do get hurt and

the extra blood is
needed."

“The games were developed
last year as an alternative to the

normal" spring break activities
like drinkim, drugs and the new
sport —balcony jumping,” Orlan-
dosaid.

Last year participants came
from all over the United States.
Over 60 colleges participated.
“We had a good turn out last
year, but this year it is even bet-
ter," Orlando said.

The winners from each week of
competition will be flown back in
September to compete for the na-
tional championship. The “Fall
Four Finals” are possible due to
a $30,000 grant from the Florida
Sunshine State Games.

Penrod's in Miami Beach is the
location of collegiate games.
They are under the coordination
of TRENDZ U.S.A., the in-house
marketing firm for Penrod's. The
games will be on Miami Beach.
and will run from 10 am. to dark
Monday through Friday.

All college students are urged
to sign up in advance to compete
against other colleges for the
Championship in April. The win-
ning teams will be flown back to
compete in the finals.

Fort Meyers Beach does not
offer any organized games.
Chamber of Commerce Vice
President, D.J. Petruccelli. said
the college kids can “design their
own kind of fun on the seven-mile
strip of beach. We don‘t have the
kinds of problems the other
beaches do."

Diversions

‘Dreamgirls’
to bring 60s
back to future

By JEREMY N. HOWELL
Contributing Writer

The Broadway rock opera hit
“Dreamgirls,” six times a Tony
Award winner and recipient of two
Grammys, is coming to Lexington
tonight.

Complete with its 42nd Street cast
and production directors, “Dream-
girls” will be performed at the
Opera House through Saturday.

Taken from the book and lyrics by
Tom Lyren and first performed on
Broadway in 1982, “Dreamgirls” is
a personalized history of the black
music movement of the 605 — the
rise of Motown and the crossover of
rhythm & blues into the white rock
charts.

In a two-act soul Operetta, an all
black trio, the Dreams climb the
ladder to success. Their aspirations
are compromised throughout by in-
creasing tension within the group
and with their inevitable entourage
of managers, lovers and star mak~
ers. Once at the pinnacle of their en-
deavors. the Dreams discover the
consequences of success, replete in
their sordidity and anti-climax.

Interwoven into this turbulent
plot. in the form of medleys and mu-
sical dialogue, are 30 numbers.

“If you like music, or ever just
bummed a tune from the 605. you're
going to be enthralled by ‘Dream-
girls,‘ ” says Dick Pardy. executive
director of the Broadway Live at the
Opera House series. “Dreamgirls is
slick, sassy. first-rate entertain-
merit."

According to Pardy, the produc-
tion of the opera is a “tidal wave of
staging." Uniquely, he said, there is
no overture at the beginning and the
opera explodes into “the most pow—
erful first act I’ve ever experi-
enced.“

Pardy draws attention to a favor-
able comparison between “Dream-
girls” and Andrew Lloyd Webber's
“Cats“ when both were performed
in Louisville last week: “ ‘Dream-
girls‘ is a hit. and all hits are
unique. Andrew Lloyd Webber is

House. is a rag-to‘riches story that finds a dance

just another composer. scrabbling
about for new music and effects. "

Pardy points to the wealth of geni-
us among the technical directors in
the company. He is astounded by
their sense of cohesion despite their
keen professional rivalry that is apt
to ruin a production.

Robin Wagner. set designer and
Tharon Musser. lighting designer
are both multi-awarded figures who
have worked on over twenty Broad-
way productions including “42nd
Street” and “Chorus Line" and cre-
ate what he terms a “visual explo—
sion."

According to its creator. Tom

a parody contrasting the dark crime
drama of the 40s and 50s with a
spoof of the modern drug scene
