WASHINGTON — President
Clinton called on the Bosnian
Serbs to return to the negotiating
table yesterday, hours after two
U.S. jets bombed targets near the
town of Gorazde in response to a
call from UN . peacekeepers.

“We said we would act if we
were requested to do so," Clinton
told reporters.

“We have now done so and
willdosoagainifwearere-
quested."

Clinton said he hoped the
Serbs would cease their attacks
on the Muslim enclave, adding
that he had no reason to believe
they would retaliate for the
NATO-sponsored jet strikes.

“I very much hope that now
the attacks will cease, that the
Serbs will go back, that the talks
will resume," he said.

“We were retaliating," he add-
ed. “The United Nations made it
absolutely clear that there were
U.N. personnel in Gorazde, that
an attack on the town would be
interpreted as a clear violation of
the rules."

The US. aircraft responded
quickly, in contrast to an incident
last month when it took NATO
four hours to send air support af-

to flee.

Yesterday, “it all happened in
fairly rapid succession," Clinton
said.

“There was not a long time de-

top of this."

US. officials, including Gen.
John Shalikashvili, the chairman
of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, had
voiced outrage that the earlier in-

The attacks yesterday,
launched from the US. air base
at Aviano, Italy, came only hours
after Secretary of State Warren
Christopher said the United
States was ready to join in if the
United Nations asked NATO for
help in stopping the Serbs.

He told NBC’s “Meet the
Press" that the United States
“has an obligation and a right to
respond along with its NATO
colleagues" if the UN. com-

Suicide seen
as firlfillment

of prophecy

By Larry McShane
Associated Press

 

 

The apparent suicide of Kurt Co-
bain, just three years after his emer-
gence as a powerful new force in
popular music, left fans and critics
comparing the grunge-rock guitarist
to other groundbreaking musicians
who died too young.

Radio stations around the country
broadcast tributes to Cobain, MTV
interrupted its usual programming
for a career retrospective and fans
mourned the star’s tragic death after
his body was discovered Friday at
his Seattle home.

“It reminds me of Jimi Hendrix.
This is a guy who hasn‘t even hit
his prime," said fan Steve Kennedy
of Pompton Lakes. NJ

“It‘s like Jim Morrison —— you'll
never know what else he could do."

Cobain, 27, had become an over-
night spokesman for a disaffected

generation of young Americans af-
ter Nirvana‘s 1991 hit single.
“SmeUs Like Teen Spirit."

The flannel-shined singer's woes
were well documented: heroin ad-
diction, discomfort with celebrity,
domestic spats, the near-fatal inges-
tion of drugs and alcohol just last
month that left him in a coma

“Kurt‘s passions and feelings
about his fame overwhelmed him,”
said a statement from Gold Moun-
tain Entertainment, Nirvana's man-
agement company.

Cobain expressed those feelings
in his music and lyrics. One of Nir-
vana’s last songs, recorded for “The
Beavis and Butt-head Experience"
album. was titled “I Hate Myself
and Want to Die."

“There were all the things in the
last two years," said Gus Hosseini,
owner of a Milwaukee nightclub
where the band played twice.

“I knew it was coming. I didn‘t
know when.“

On MTV, the usual pre-taped
programming was pulled and re-
placed with a look back at Cobain’s
career — a particularly apropos
gesture, since MTV helped boost
Nirvana to commercial success.

Record stores reported increased
business for “Nevermind,” the

 

 

band’s first album on a major
record label. and “In Utero," its ac-
claimed platinum follow-up.

The Seattle record company Sub
Pop, which released Nirvana's first
singles in 1988 and its 1989
“Bleach" album, planned a party for
Saturday night to celebrate nine
years of success. Instead, the pri-
vate gathering at the popular down-

How telling that the first infor-
mation about Nirvana lead singer
Kurt Cobain's suicide came not to
a 911 operator but to a local Seat-
tle radio station.

The entertainment media on
Friday moved quickly to pro-
nounce that our generation had its
obligatory Godhead, its Joplin, its
Hendrix, its Monison.

Denting this privilege only fueled
the fires of public curiosity.

the sharks smelled blood.

less than six hours after an
electrician found Cobain‘s body,
MTV was interrupting its regular
programming with a one-hour col-
[age of Nirvana footage from per-
formances and interviews.

After 58 minutes set on burning
Cobain‘s intage into the public
consciousness, MTV commenta-
tor Kurt Loder reminded the
world that a man had killed him-
self and shouldn‘t be viewed as a
role model for his action.

Ratings soared, interviews were
scheduled. headlines materialized
and record racks emptied.

As the culturally mointed
spokesman for his generation, Co-

fame was obvious.

hero's inevitable tragic death.

Cobain had made one unsuc-
cessful attempt with drugs and al-
cohol, but finally, as the music in-
dustry would say. he went to
number one with a bullet.

While sources speculate over
the 27-year-old's rationale. the
entertainment industry is certain
to surround the event in a shroud
of ambiguity, letting gossip and
nrmor further enlarge Cobain‘s
statureandincreasc product sales.

Then there is the eventual dis-
covery of those lost vocal record-
ings that will enable the David
Geffen Co. to reunite Nirvana one

lions, of course.

How 'ironic that the insmity
Kurt Cobain so desperately tried
to escape in life profits more in
his death and further entrenches
its self-destructive myths in the
psyches of future generaions.

Fame requires every kind

not the somber renown of

chinless kings...
Understand the man who
must inhabit these
extreme regions,
monstrous and vulval,
damp with memories of
violation. Even it half
mad, he is absorbed into
the pubiic’s total
madness; even ilfully
rational, a bureaucrat in
hell, a secret genius of
survival, he is sure to be
destroyed by the public’s
contempt for survivors.
Fame, this special kind,
feeds itself on outrage,
on what the councelors
of other men would
consider bad
publicity-hysteria in
limousines, knife fights in
the audience, bizarre
litigation, treachery,
pandemonium and drugs.
Perhaps the only natural
law attaching to true
fame is that the famous
man is compelled.

suicide.

In just three years, Cobain's Seattle-based band Nirvana cata-

town Crocodile Cafe was turning
into a wake for Cobain.

Nirvana jumped to the national
label David Geffen Co. in 1991.

Police said the contents of a one-

body would not be made public and
that decision was up the family.

No funeral arrangements had
been made, family members said.

Herbst wants
swifter pace
for transition
to new DDS

By Doug Saretsky
Staff Writer

 

 

Stressing the importance of insti-
tuting a uniform method of identifi-
cation, UK officials say they are
concerned about the low turnout for
new student IDs.

Director of Student Activities
John Herbst said the lack of a 100
percent turnout for the new, multi-
purpose IDs has not created any
problems for the UK administration
yet. However. be emphasized the
importance of having the cards
made.

“We would like for every student
to get their new ID made in the
spring," Herbst said. “This will
make it easier for students to access
the services that the card provides
when the fall semester arrives.“

In addition to being an identifica-
tion card, the new student ID will
allow UK students access to various
University services.

The card includes a bar code that
enables students to borrow library
materials. It also incorporates the
function of meal cards and resi-
dence hall key-cards.

In the future, studean also will be
able to use their new student IDs
for purchasing tickets for campus
events and using photocopy servic-
es.

Students will no longer need to
worry about validating their IDs.
Upon payment of tuition bills and
fees, the card is validated automati-
cally.

The new cards are the result of a
coalition among the Student Activi-
ties Board and UK‘s library system,
food services, computing center and
athletics.

Although there is a schedule for
new II) processing, Herbst said stu-
dents may get their cards made any-
time.

“We want to encourage people to
come anytime to get their IDs
made," Herbst said. “There are usu-
ally less people there in the morn-
mg."

Copies of the schedule are posted
in several campus locations, such as
the Student Center and Margaret 1.
King Library.

The IDs are made in 206 Student
Center on most weekdays between
8 am. and 7:30 pm.

UK officials began making the

tzigue to produce them until April

Blacks more susceptible
to lung cancer, study says

 

By Richard Cole
Associated Press

 

SAN FRANCISCO — Blacks
may be biologically more likely
than whites to develop lung cancer
from smoking, according to a
study released yesterday at a can-
cer conference.

The results are particularly rele-
vant because cigarette manufactur-
ers have been accused of aggres-
sively targeting blacks in their
marketing campaigns, said John
Richie of the American Health
Foundation. which conducted the
study.

The Tobacco institute has previ-
ously denied targeting any one seg-
ment of the American population.

Black smokers have long been
shown to have a 50 percent higher
incidence of lung cancer and death
from the disease.

But researchers were uncertain if
the causes were behavioral, dietary
or biological.

Richie said a difference in me-
tabolism may be responsible.

“Our initial data seem to indicate
that blacks have a poorer capacity
than whites to detoxify NNK, one
of the most important tobacco-
related carcinogens linked to lung
cancer," Richie told the annual

meeting of the American Associa-
tion for Cancer Research yesterday.

Richie and his colleagues meas~
ured the metabolized products of
NNK found in the urine of smok-
ers.

He noted that the same products
— NNAL and NNAL-Gluc —
were also measured in a previous
foundation study that linked sec-
ondhand smoke to lung cancer.

NNAL is highly carcinogenic, in-
ducing lung tumors in mice. The
study found that black smokers had
30 percent to 35 percent more
NNAL in their urine than whites.

“The bottom line is that whites
have more of the detoxified metab-
olid and blacks have less," said Dr.
Steven Hecht, one of the study’s
co—authors.

The American Health Foundation
is conducting a broad, ongoing
study of blacks and whites.

Measurement of NNK metabo-
lism was not originally included in
the study, “but our initial results
showed such a great difference be-
tween blacks and whites, we decid-
ed to pursue it," Richie said.

The study tested 31 black smok-
ers and 25 white smokers matched
for age, sex and the number of cig-
arettes smoked.

It is now being expanded to in-
clude 160 people and will eventual-

ly look at 320. The results seems to
be holding, Richie said.

The test subjects live in the ra-
cially-mixed city of Mount Ver-
non, N.Y.

“It's an interesting new finding,"
said Dr. Regina Santella of Colum-
bia University in New York, who
is studying how cigarette smoke
products bind to DNA.

“Now we must determine, is
there a genetic basis or some envi-
ronmental factor that's responsi-
hie?"

Blacks and whites, for example,
may eat different amounts of fruits
and vegetables, which could affect
their ability to metabolize cancer-
producing chemicals, she said.

Santella said it is likely that a
combination of both environment
and genetics will turn out to play a
role in who develops cancer.

She emphasized, however, that
scientists are finding an increasing-
ly strong role of genetics in suscep-
tibility to the disease.

Richie said his test may eventu-
ally be used to show whether indi-
vidual smokers have a higher sus-
ceptibility to lung cancer.

But they will have to wait be-
cause the test is not yet available to
physicians.

Club trotting toward nationals

Everyone knows about the suc-
cess of the two big money sports at
UK — basketball and football. But
one of the non-varsity sports that
has succeeded this year, with al-
most no funding from the Universi-
ty, is the UK Equestrian Club.

At the beginning of its season,
the Equestrian Club was told that
UK would match the team funds
donated by the members up to
$1,000. The major problem with
was that the team only had three
members.

“When I realized there were only
three of us on the team, I started

actively recruiting new members,"
senior captain and coach Jana
Patch said.

“I put posters up around campus
to raise awareness and stimulate in-
terest.

We started doing well, and peo-
ple came to sign up and try out for
the team."

Patch‘s recmiting efforts led to
20 new teammates, which raised
the club's membership to 23. The
team then was able to deposit a to-
tal of $1,200 into its account,
which members hoped would be
matched by UK.

But the Equestrian Club only re-
ceived $600 because of the large
number of club sports on campus.

UK has 23 non-varsity teams, all

of which are funded on the same
limited budget.

The $600 amounted to a mere 20
percent of the club's year-end bud-
get. It had been spent by the sec-
ond contest, as Patch said that the
team‘s total expenses for the year
