By Kim Armstrong
CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The race is over. The posters. banners
and other remnants have been stripped
from campus.

Remaining are the four new Student
Government Association freshmen senators
who were chosen in this year‘s election.

The senators. Robirr Bryant. Beir
P‘ranzini. James Monroe and Leslie Protlitt.

undeclared.

The freshmen senators said they want
to respond to issues that are important to
their classmates and help them resolve
problems

Several freshmen told Monroe they
would like to see visitation hours in the
dorms extended to 2 am. on weeknights.

Protfitt. a biology major who received
the most votes with 113. said the CATS bus
system needs to be more efficient in trans
porting freshmen from the K—Lot at (‘onr
monwealth Stadium to the dorms late at
night.

She and Bryant said more freshmen
should have attended orientation this year

and that they need to unite through campus
activities.

More campus activities. such as dances.
should be held to provide alternative criter-
tainrnerrt for freshmen who aren‘t involved
in Greek life. Bryant said. She also said she
wants to work on better parking for fresh-
men. especially on North (‘arrtpus

Monroe and Proffitt said they wished
more freshmen had participated in the elec-
tions. "I didn't know the elections were go-
ing on." said freshman Sarah Law. adding
that she only saw a few signs in her dorm.

“Out of all the posters on campus. I only
saw two candidates. one of which was
mine." Monroe said.

He said more students need to know
about the elections and the issues facing the
student body because they need to become

involved on campus.

UK decries bus fee options

Get on the bus: Fees not
an option, officials say

By Lamin Swann

is-sisrinr NEWS EDITOR

[K has no plans to add a 85:5 student
fee to tuition for unlimited bus rides on
LexTran. the city's transit authority. ail-
ministrators said.

“We Irave no intention to implement
a student fee." said Joseph Burch. ITK
\‘icevpt‘esident of l'nivcrsity Relations.

An article in The Lexington Herald-
Leader Thursday reporting talks between
L'K Parking and Transportation officials
arid LexTran officials prcmtpted the ad»
ministration‘s response.

The Herald Leader reported that
Parking and Lex’l‘ran will meet Nov. 1 to
discuss two plans. including one to
charge students a 85%.”) fee to ride LexTran.

That meeting has been canceled. ac»
cording to Jimmy (llenn. Student (iovern-
ment .»\ssociation president.

l'K administrators said they have not
met with LexTran officials to discuss any
plans for student transportation.

The idea must have been discussed at
a LexTran board meeting. Burch said.

The student fee plan would not be
beneficial for l'K. Burch said.

“The idea is good. but accessing a fee
would not be feasible." he said.

If LexTran were able to implement
the student fee with l'K. possible plans
would be to extend the free bus route on
campus.

“If the l'niversity adds a student fee.
LexTran would put an extra concentra-
tion on a route around student housing."
said .lenny Williams. director of market-
ing with LexTran.

Williams said LexTran has not talked
to any officials at the administration level
at l'K. but has discussed the issue with
l'K Parking and Transportation The
talks are preliminary.

Don Thornton. director of [K Park
trig and Transportation. was unavailable
for comment Thursday.

Lex'l‘ran also is planning other op-
tions regarding students. ()ne plan would
allow l'K to purchase unlimited semester

counted price. (‘urrent semesterlong

(‘linton's appearance Tuesday shows
that Democratic leaders think Kentucky‘s
3rd District seat is attainable. .lordan
spokeswoman Martha McKenna said
Thursday. The election is Nov. 7.

Details of(‘linton's visit were not irri-
mediately announced

(‘linton narrowly carried Kentucky
twice. and each time Louisville provided
him his strongest base of support.

Terry (‘armack. Northup's chief of
staff. questioned how much effect (‘linton
would have. The president made two visits

Northin unseated Ward. anyway. (‘arrna

But Laurie Rhodebeck. a l'niversity of
Louisville political scientist. said (‘Iinton‘s
visit would make an impression on blacks

“This is a tremendously invaluable en-
dorsement for Jordan. and in a close race I
think that could be an important factor."
thxlebeck said.

“It definitely will energize the Democ

to carry Kentucky by a comfortable rnarr

doctoral student. will audition. “I think they
are botlt very interesting singers and cer-
tainly cornrwtitive." Robinson said.

The exiwrience alone is valuable.

“It is good to put yourself in company
where everyone around you is good." she
said. "because that is how we stretch our-
selves and how we grow,"

A wee taste of Irish dancing

By Brandio Bright

STAFF WRITER

If you thought that the Irish
were best known for their
drinking abilities, after experi-
encing Riverdance it becomes
quite obvious where true Irish
talent lies.

Riverdance opened Tuesday
evening in Cincinnati‘s Aronot‘f
Center to a toetappin‘. hand-
clappin' crowd. Although the
“Lord of the Dance“ Michael
Flatley is no longer with Rivers
dance. this shows star. Michael
Patrick Gallagher. impressively
ﬁlls his shoes literally.

Tara Barry. also in a lead
ing role. captures the admira
tion and envy of everyone

watching. Within the ﬁrst three
seconds. she soars across the
stage. Gallagher and Barry
both have been Irish dancing
since they were toddlers and
have won numerous World
Championships.

Barry has been with the
show since its 1995 premier in
Dublin where the t‘i\'e»week
sellout run astounded unsus
pecting audiences. After the re-
lease of videos. (_‘I)s and a
Broadway run. the world be
came consumed by these mad
Irish cloggers who can move

their feet faster than Neal
Peart‘s drumsticks.
Aside from the talented

Irish dancing troupe. there are
other factors that contribute

equally to this intoxicating ex

perience. The lighting and
scenery whisk the viewer in to
a dream-like world where the
background itself becomes a
character choreographing its
own dance. Audience members
are enchanted by the deep reds
and ghostly blues that are remi~
niscent of Irish ancestors.

The other contributing
pseudo character is the int‘il-
trating and mesmeri/ing music.
Violins. tlutes. multiple percus-
sive instruments and guitars all
combine to create the perfect
mixture of Irish folk and a
splash of rock. In a matter of
minutes. the melodic under-
tones can erect tear-jerking sad-
ness and then overpowering

Feet of fury

Iith toot that soon to move
Independent of their body,
those crazy Irish (and Irish
wannabes) are at It again as
RIverdancc makes its way
back to the stage.

urges to jump out of your chair
anti shake an Irish tail feather.

Along with Irish dancing.
there are Spanish. American
and urban influences involved
with the show. In fact. in one se-
quence there is a dancing duel
between Gallagher‘s straight
and tall Irish jig versus three ur-
ban "step" dancers. What one
comes away with is a deep ap~
preciation for all variations of
this percussive dance. whether
it is traditional or modem.

Rit'erdance leaves a lasting
impression that is like no other.
Next time. instead ofjust going
to a pub to absorb a little Irish
tradition. go see these phenom-
enal people who love to get jig
gy with it.
