UK Interim President Charles Wethington, above, spoke to about
300 members of the Lexington Rotary Club yesterday

By TOM SPALDING
Executive Editor

UK interim President Charles Wethington said
yesterday that despite problems, the University
is “alive and well" and is “not being torn apart"
by some controversy in its search for a new
president.

In a speech to about 300 members of the Lex-
ington Rotary Club, Wethington downplayed
arty rifts between the school’s faculty and Board
of Trustees created by the search for a replace-
meitt to David Roselle. who resigned in Decem-
ber.

Many faculty members are skeptical that UK
can conduct an open, unbiased search as long as
Wethington is a possible candidate for the posi—
tion.

“You read, you see, you hear about some of
the controyersies that do surround the University
and those kind of things l‘m sure are somewhat
inevital'ile," Wethington said. “I want to assure
you that from my standpoint the University of
Kentucky ts not being torn apart by divisive po-
litical issues.“

Wethington said that the University is com-
prised of a group of people "with strong ideas.
strong minds and strong opinions who have aii
independence that does give them the freedom
to speak and say what they feel about matters
that impact the l‘niversity

“That’s the way it otight to be."

Wethington‘s 25-minute speech came about

one hour after he had joined several UK students
and administrators on campus to celebrate the
University’s 125th birthday.

In his address to the Rotarians, Wethington
said the school should follow the same guide-
lines as his predecessors did to ensure another
successful 125 years.

He also said it is necessary for the legislature
to support Gov. Wallace Wilkinson's proposed
$206 million funding increase for higher educa»
tion in order to keep faculty salaries stable and
to maintain a high standard of education.

“We must stop the erosion that l have seen
in the funding base of the University," he said.
"That erosion won‘t be totally solved. We
won't fill in all the ditches and all the gullics.
that have been caused over the last few years.
But I believe it will stop the erosion and turn the
University funding level back in the right way ‘

Wethington said that UK has strong leader
ship on the Board of Trustees. “In my mmd. the
University will move forward under their gold
ance."

Wethington praised the positive direction I. v
islators are taking to restructure the state‘ s 'ic
mentary and secondary education in the stat.-
But higher education must be brought along at
the same pace. he said.

Legislators “must not forget the role higher
education plays in this state, and as we deal w llll
education reform on the elementary and secotv
dary levels, and we're getting right into the heart
of it don’t forget about us, don't forget about

He also thanked those who had not forgotten
about him.

No argument against it:
UK debaters among elite

By CHRISTOPHER HUNT
Contributing Writer

When it comes to arguing.
there’s no debate: UK has one of
the top teams in the counuy.

The UK squad proved that re—
ccntly, as its top varsity team took
second place at the nation‘s largest
collegiate debate tournament held
at Northwestem University.

T.A. McKinney, a political
science junior, and Calvm Rocke-
feller, a communications junior,
emerged from an impressive field
of 120 teams representing 55 col»
leges to post a record of 10 mm
and two losses.

“To my knowledge every top
team in the nation was in atten—
dance," said J.W. Patterson, the UK
debate coach.

On UK‘s second varsity team.
Jerry Gallagher, a freshman from
Detroit, and David Walsh, a JUHIOT
from Dallas. advanced to the elimi-
nation rounds. That is where the
situation became sticky: the pair
were scheduled to meet teammates
Rockefeller and McKinney. ln col—
lege debate, pairings normally are
not changed. When two teams from
the same school are scheduled to
meet each other they have the op-
tion of either debating or simply
advancing one of the learns, Patter-
son said.

Kentucky elected to advance
McKinney and Rockefeller because
it had the best record after the eight
preliminary rounds, With seven
wins and one loss, Patterson said.

The UK team, which consists of
six debaters, is coached by Patter»
son and Roger Solt, who are both
veterans of the college debate cir-

 

cuit.

The national topic that all the
colleges debate this year 1“ whether
or not “the federal goiernment
(should adopt an energy policy
which substantially reduces non—
militaryconsumption ot fossil fuels
in the tinned States "

“They are certainly one of the
best teams that Kermit ky has had.”
Patterson said They hay: thi- po»
tential to be the best it‘.‘ll‘ in th-
country."

Two important achiexements
support Patterson‘s exalutilion.
First. the dtio has won Hi pertent of
their rounds for the year. w hit h lll
Cltides time maior tournaments

Secondly, \lL‘Klllllt‘y and Rocke
Teller have been given art ;it»large
bid to the National Debate loiirna
ment, which determines the national
college champion. The bids are gin“
en only to the top to teams in the
nation. All other teams must eet to
the totittttiittcitt by winning their re
spective districts.

Rockefeller and McKinney seem
to have an interesting chemistry
that contributes to their success.

“It‘s the pet‘lett good cop-bad
cop debate team,” Rockefeller said

Success does hayc its price llic
L’K debaters spend an .tyerage of
‘0 hours a week preparing for Up'
coming tonniaments.

Despite the problems that may
arise from debating. the two l'ls'
debaters thitik the advantages otit~
weigh the hassles.

“You learn how to research bet-
ter than your college peers and to
think critically," McKinney said
“Debating is like taking a special
topic class, but ntore intensive."

UK’s Zavos stunned after being given high Chinese honor

By SHARLA HENSLEY

ology in L'K's (‘ollege of Agriculture, ls iii

Contributing Writer

When UK associate professor Panayiotis
Zavos recently became the first American
to be named an honorary professor of the
Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences,
he said the full impact of the news didn't
sink in.

“I‘m sort of shaken (and) moved by the
whole gesture," Zavos said. “I have re-
ceived this letter (from the Academy) and
then another letter from some fellow scien-
tists explaining to me that this honor is the
highest honor that the Chinese give and
they have never given it to an American."

Zavos, a professor of reproductive physi-

tcrnationally known for developing a pro
cess that designates the sex of cattle before
artificial insemination.

He said he goes to (‘hma two or three
times a year to help them solye cattle and
human reproduction problems.

The sexing process. which allows select
ing female chromosomes for artificial in»
semination. is beneficial to the dairy farmer
who wants more females to produce more
milk, Zavos said. He said the sexing pro
cess produces 70 to 80 percent female
cattle born.

Zavos is also an expert lll treating male
infertility iii humans

“Now a lot of people are going to sat.

‘lto the Chinese have reproduction prob
lems." The answer is yes," Zavos said.
“ They are limited {by the government) to
haying only one child (per) couple. The
giwctniitcnl wants to enable all Chinese. if
they want children, to have at least one."

/.tivos said he Cl'lJO)'S working Wllh the
Chinese. “l found them to be very reccp
use." he said. “They‘re extremely t oopera-
inc .. good people. They are a very gentle
people."

Zavos feels his rapport with the Chinese
comes front his desire to help them rather
than exploit them. He said they tell him
that most toreigners come to exploit their
land then political system, and their peo-

laws has introduced Kenmtky zl lea

to the Chinese. The grass helps the (‘hiiiese
fatten cattle, stop erosion problems. and
beautify cities and \ tllages.

He is also helping them establish a linil
semen quality control center to guarantee
the birth of healthier cattle.

"I take it as a challenge to work harder.
not only here on campus. but throughout
the world," Zavos said, “because our

Book tells history
of UK with photos

By C.A. DUANE BONlFER
Editor in Chief

On Sept. 15, I915. 918 stu-
dents enrolled at Kentucky’s
State University, according to
The Kentucky Kernel. The regis-
tration in Buell Armory marked
the 47th session of Kentucky's
State University. The school
year also marked the first time
that The Kentucky Kernel was
published once a week.

The University of Kentucky: A
Pictorial History (University of
Kentucky Press, 246 pp.,
$34.95) is a wonderful nostalgic
walk through the annals of UK’s
history.

The book, which includes
more than 250 photographs, is
accompanied by a narrative by
Carl B. Corie, UK professor of
history emeritus.

The immediate impression one
gets from the book is how UK
changed from what appeared to
be a close-knit community in a
small Southern town, to a

sprawling city within a city.

The book chronicles UK from
its 1865 founding — known then
as the Agricultural & Mechanical
College of Kentucky University
-~ to its present status as the
commonwealth’s flagship insti-
tution.

The book is surprisingly cur-
rent -— it includes the resignation
of UK President David Roselle,
the appointment of interim presi-
dent Charles Wethington and the
hiring of football coach Bill Cur-

Although he touches on some
instances, for the most part Cone
steers clear of the politics UK
has been engulfed in during most
of its existence, choosing instead
to celebrate the University’s ac-
complishments and the people
who were a pan of it.

In some places the praise is a
bit excessive. UK trustee Wil-
liam Sturgill is called an “exem-
plary supporter” of UK, some-
thing many Eastern Kentuckians
surely would take issue with.

Theater, Part I — UK’s Theatre Department is performing Thor-
ton Wilder’s relatively modemistic The Skin Of Our Teeth . The play
continues to be significant almost 50 years after it was written be-
cause it uses many different conventions of theater. It’s not every play
that the director has to cast for things like a dinosaur and the hours of
the night. You can take in all of this innovation at the Guignol Thea-

trc in the Fine Arts Building at 8

pm. tonight and tomorrow night.

The play also will be performed next Thursday through Saturday night
at 8 pm. Tickets are $5 for students and $6 for the general public.
For more information, call 257~4929.

Theater, Part II —— Actor‘s Guild of chington‘s production of
Breaking the Code enters its final weekend at ArtsPlace. It’s an excel«
lent production, and for students it‘s cheaper than going to a movie.
Tickets are $5 for students and $10 for gcncral public. For more infor-

mation, call 233-0663.

No Happy Tunes ~— The UK men‘s basketball team plays its fi-
nal home game of the season tomorrow afternoon against Auburn
University. Forget that it’s Derrick Miller's last home game, forget

that it's the chance for UK to avoid

a nearly unprecedented second con-

secutive losing season. once again former governor A. B. “Happy"
Chandlcr will miss singing his ever-soulful version of “My Old Ken-
tucky Home." His rendition of the Stephen Foster song has become
somewhat of a tradition at UK‘s final homc basketball game of the
season. Othcllo Pumphrcy, a former member of the Lexington Phil-
harmonic, was asked by Athletics Director C.M. Newton to replace
Chandler. At least Pumphrcy is more likely to sing on key. Tip-off is

1:30 pm.

You could go out and get the Rolling Stone critics and readers poll
issue and compare it to the Grammy‘s. Among the travestics that oc-
curred at the Grammy’s Wednesday night was that Milli Vanilli was
namcd best new artist. In the Rolling Stone poll, critics picked Milli

Vanilli as worst artist of the year.

In their usual duplicity, the Gram

niy‘s gave out awards for best album, best record, best pop vocalist,

best rock vocalist, best song, best

single and about 300 other super-

fluous categories. Bcttc Midlcr won two Grammy‘s for best record and

best song for the same single. The

Rolling Stone reader's poll picked

New Kids on the Block as worst everything. Take a guess which one
is a better gauge of musical opinion in America.

Internationally acclaimed pianist
Leon Bates will make his second
performance with the Lexington
Philharmonic Orchestra tonight at
8 pm. in the Singletary Center for
the Arts.

According to Philharmonic Exec-
utive Director Lori Wayne, Bates
returns from his 1986 appearance as
one of the great American pianists
of the new generation.

“His popularity is skyrocketing,"
said Wayne. “His fees from his
1986 performance with the Philhar-
monic have doubled. We received
him when he was a fairly young
unknown artist. Now he is some
one. ”

Since his last appearance with
the Philharmonic, Bates has per-
formed at such places as Carnegie
Hall, the Kennedy Center, and the
Hollywood Bowl. He has also per-
formed with such renowned orches-
tras as the New York Philharmonic
and the Vienna Symphony Orches-
tra.

For his UK appearance, he Wlll
perform Chopin’s Symphony No.
7

George Zack, conductor of the
Philharmonic, looks forward to
working once again with Bates.

“The Philharmonic has never
done the Chopin No, 2, “said Zack.
“After I picked the piece, I looked
for an artist who could perform it.
After hearing him perform the
works on tape, I found that he has
a high regard for the concerto and I
liked the way he approaches the
piece. "

With Bates, Zack hopes to feel
free in performing the artist’s
piece, something that he wants to
accomplish with all of the artists
he works With.

“I want the artist to feel free,"
said Zack, “free with all the techni-
cal mastery of the piece but also
the poetry and by that the Philhar-
monic must be supportive and sen-
sitive to him."

In addition to tonight’s perfor-
mance, Bates performed yesterday
for a group of Fayette County ele-
mentary schools. The schools in-

volved include Arlington, Ashland,
Johnson, Maxwell, Northern, and
Russell elementaries.

Wayne also stated that Bates pcr-
fonned only before the Johnson ele-
mentary in 1986. This year, due to
his great popularity and success
with kids, he will perform for other
elementary schools.

“He was so popular and so very
good with kids that we had to have
him back,"said Wayne. “In I986 he
reached only 250 Johnson elemen-
tary students. This year he will
reach about 3,000. The scopc is
much more."

Wayne said the children’s pro-
gram scrvcs as an enlightening c\~
pcricnce in the ans.

“The Philharmonic wishes to
reach out to the children." Wayne
stated, “especially minority chil-
dren. There aren’t many minority
children who consider careers in
music. It is an important part of
the Philharmonic's mission to
bring music to everyone and have
everyone experience it. Leon Bates
has a way of communicating that's

special. Bates can relate to any race,
any age. ”

According to Zack, Bates not
only is a great pianist but a world
renowned weightlifter, which at-
tracts youngcr children whcn watch-
ing him perform.

“Leon is a role model for black
children and also all childrcn," said
Zack. “When children see Lcon, it
bridges the gap between athlete and
musician and the black to the
white. Hc‘s ti beautiful guy whose
smile will light up a whole room."

The children‘s concert is made
possible by a grant that the State of
Kentucky granted the Philhamionic
which was thcn matched by another
grant from the Lexington Arts and

‘Nightbreed

By MICHAEL L. JONES
Editorial Editor

Aaron Boone was Just a regular
guy who had bad dreams. Then he
was framed as a serial killer by a
psychiatrist named Decker. Now he
is Cabal, leader of the Nightbrced.

The Nightbrced are ancient shap-
eshifters, werewolves, things that
feed on flesh and blood. Things
that we thought only lived in our
dreams. In his latest film outing
Clive Barker takes us into Midian.
the home of the Nightbrced. He
shows us everything that we think
we know and then bends it into
something else.

“It's all true, Peloquin told
Boone before he gave hitn the bite
that conquers death. “God is an as-
tronaut. 07. is over the rainbow and
Monsters live in Midian."

Peloquin is the biggest rebel in
Midian. He has a habit of breaking
the law against eating the Naturals
(humans) that come into Midian.
He manages to bite Boone before

organizer of the event.

Percussion ensembles from UK,
Kentucky State University, Eastern
Kentucky University and Morchcad
State University will perform,
Campbell said. A trio from Cum-
berland College will also perform.

Many percussion styles includ-
ing jazz, African, classical, march-
ing and Latin also will be featured,
Campbell said.

“(The musicians) have an oppon
tunity to perform, and that is really
one of the things that makes music
fun," said Campbell. “It will be
performers playing for performers."

Campbell said that he organized
the program, started the funding
and scheduled all the groups that
will be playing. He added that he
wanted to coordinate the program
so evc-rything would work right.

Frrshman music major Andrew
Keith will play a variety of instru-

ments, including the xylophone and
timpani. Most percussionists Wlii
be playing an average of IO instru-
ments, according to Keith.

“I get to learn a lot —— it's really
educational. I‘m looking forward to
it because I get to play With some
big people," Keith said. He added
that the eve of the performance will
be a tension-filled night.

Nerves are not a problem with
music performance senior, Adrian
Jones. who feels confident with his
music. “I‘m hoping to learn from
the different groups that are coming
JUSI to interact." said Jones. “I want
to gain more knowlcdgc and a
chance to see other groups.“

He also said this is an opportuni»
ty for people who don‘t get a
chance to listen to this sort of mu-
sic.

“It should jUSl bc a good thing
for those who know about percus-

sion and those w ho don’t.” he said.

Campbell added that there are
many percussion sounds in contem-
porary music that will be taiiiiliLir
to listeners.

“Most people don ‘t know w hat
to expect if they go to a percussion
ensemble concert, they wind up
falling in love with it because it‘s
something they 'vc already fallen in
love with." CLunpbcll said "It illls
all the senses at ohm the \ I\ll.ti
and the oral."

The aim of L'K‘s Percussion In;
is to provide an educational tool to
hear professionals say \oiiicthing
