Thoughts to
live by

If at first you don't
succeed, destroy all
evidence that you
tried.

A conclusion is the
place where you got
tired of thinking.

Experience is
something you don't
get until just after
you need it.

For every action,
there is an equal and
opposite criticism.

The colder the X-ray
table, the more of
your body is required
to press on it.

Work is accomplished
by those employees
who are still striving
to reach their level
of incompetence.

You never really learn
to swear until you
learn to drive. (The
corollary is: You
never learn to pray
until your kids learn
to drive!)

The sooner you fall
behind, the more
time you'll have to
catch up. (Project
management at it
best).

Students protest Kosovo attacks

Enough is enough: Grad students stage mid-day protest in

group of philosophy graduate students.
"Very little information is getting
out." said Paul Lewis. a philosophy grad-

front of Classroom Building, call for end to NATO airstrikes

By Michael Downs
ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOFT‘

 

Americans are not being accurately
informed about the military involve-
ment in the Kosovo province of the for-
mer Yugoslavia.

This was the opinion of demonstrators
who stood outside of the Whitehall Class-
room Building yesterday. distributing fly.
ers to inform UK students about issues con-
cerning the NATO airstrikes in Kosovo,

"It's almost worse than the informa-
tion given by the Serbian media. It's pro-
paganda used as a justification for mili-
tary action." said Kristina Vuskovic. a
math professor.

Vuskovic was born in Belgrade. Yu~

goslavia. the Serbian capitol which is be»
ing targeted by NATO airstrikes.

Presentations of the situation has
been drastically oversimplified by the
United States government and media.
Vuskovic said.

“In my opinion. it‘s a complete this
handling of the complexity of the situa-
tion." she said.

Vuskovic said she believed the in-
ternational community should be iti-
volved in the situation. but in a fair and
diplomatic way.

Depicting signs that proclaimed “Hi.
I‘m a civilian. bomb me" and “Warning:
illegal. immoral war against Yugoslavia."
the demonstration was organized by a

uate student.

Lewis said the mainstream media
has presented only one side of this issue.
and that the American public has been
misled to believe this human rights-dri-
ven campaign.

The United States has used the guise
of fighting against genocide to justify in-
vasion. The media has portrayed the story
as a crusade against evil and oppression.
Lewis said. ”It's like a wrestling match."
he said.

The l'.S. government has been incon—
sistent in its actions as a charter member
of the United Nations. Lewis said. This
inconsistency could be related to ulterior
motives. he said. “When you ask for a
cause for a war. you might as well be ask-
ing why fish swim." Lewis said.

Expectations, ideas

challenged at conference

By Tasha Harris
CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The Women‘s Studies Pro-
gram wanted to set aside a day to
celebrate the female body.

What they succeeded in doing
last Saturday was a women's con-
ference to celebrate, discuss and
challenge the ideas. expectations
and experiences of being a
woman.

“For some people. this is an
initial kind of way for them to
discover some of the problems
that are faced by women." said
Krista Smith. a history senior
and director of the event held at
the Student Center.

“Societal expectations about
how much you should weigh.
what color your skin should be.
what kind of make-up you

should wear anti if you should
get surgery to cover up your
wrinkles.”

Panels covered such topics as
“Strippers Bodies." “Reclaiming
()ur Bodies: Black Women
Artists Attempt to Reconstruct
and Reclaim Subjectivity" and
“The Social Construction of lie-
male Pregnancy.“

Smith‘s favorite part of the
event was “Awareness Through
Movement."

“It was wonderful to see
women who have been discour»
aged from moving whether it's be-
cause of their size. or skin color or
aging and it was real exciting to
see they are the exact women who
did get there." she said.

Another panel addressed
Mode. a magazine for plus-size
women.

"What sort of images through
advertisers does Mode put out
and how (does) the average fash»
ion model weigh 30 percent less
than the average female woman?"
Abner asked.

Abner and Smith agree mass
media plays a large role in how
women feel about their bodies.
They said a whole conference
could be planned on mass media's
effect on women ofour society.

"When this little lilyear-old
girl that l babysit for is on a diet
because her stomach isn't flat
enough. it‘s really upsetting. and
it's just getting worse." Smith
said.

Empathy

Raising awareness: Social
fraternity members will
simulate one disability a week

By Kathleen Ellison
CONTRIBUTING WRITER 7

Think differently;

That's what Todd (‘ox. philanthropy
chair of Pi Kappa Phi. and his fraternity
brothers want students to do this week,
The social fraternity is sponsoring an
Empathy Week.

“(The goal is) to raise overall aware
ness for people with handicaps.” l‘ox
said.

Cox. a business management and
broadcast journalism sophomore. said
each fraternity member will simulate a
disability at least once during the week
with some members experiencing a dis
ability for the entire week. The partici

The Empathy Week campaign under
lies the fraternity"s philanthrtniy, Push
America. Pi Kappa Phi established the
organization in 1970,

Pi Kappa Phi is the only fraternity to
have its own philanthropy. according to its

Cox said this separates their charity
work from that of other fraternities or

The song is

Talent isn't everything: Jessica Andrews
compromises too much on debut album

by Gary McCollum

STAFF WRITER

Country music legend
Waylon Jennings once said
that in country music, it’s the
singer and not the song. If a
person is country. they can
sing anything and it will still
be country.

But that doesn't mean the
songs aren't important.

Jessica Andrews“ debut al-
bum Heart-Shaped World is an
excellent example of just how
critical music is to making a
good album.

Of course. the reason why
it‘s an example is because the
songs included on the album
aren‘t worth the price of the
CD. unless you need something
to listen to on the way to a mid-
dle-school cheerleading compe-
tition.

For country music fans

who might have thought the
‘genre sounded watered down

before. you obviously haven‘t
heard this album yet.

()ne of the songs, “I‘ll Take
Your Heart." is written by Sha-
nia Twain‘s husband Mutt
Lange. if that gives any indica-
tion of the nature of the songs
included in this set.

“You Go First“ is another
classic example of the pop-
sounding tracks that compose
this album. It becomes more of
an annoyance than anything
else.

This particular song is be-
ing run in promos for the
movie Forces of Nature, aiming
the song toward the same

young crowd that screams over
Hen Afileck.

Byron Gallimore, who has
produced albums by Tim Mc-
Graw. Faith Hill and Jo Dee
Messina, adds Jessica Andrews
to his impressive list of credits
with this album.

He also stretches the defini-
tion of the “country sound"
more than usual in the process.

The result is an album that
actually sounds overproduced.
The instruments come across
as synthesized from a Casio
keyboard. and the traditional
sounds that have been making
such a comeback in recent
months seem almost aban-
doned.

One can take nothing away
from Andrews' voice. Her vo-
cals are amazing. especially
when you consider she is only
15. Still, the album sounds
more like the pop albums of the
late ‘805 and early ‘903 than
anything else.

The novelty of being a teen-
age singer can only take a ca-
reer so far. Eventually the qual-
ity, or lack thereof. of the songs
on an album will catch up to
any artist.

Granted this album is not
going to be marketed toward
many college students, but
Heart Shaped World is so exclu-
sively geared toward today‘s
teeny-hopper crowd that most
country music fans will proba-
bly find the album too much to
bear.

Heart Shaped World. the debut album from Jessica Andrews, is a woeful

WOMEN

Continued from paqel

address. Bordo has written
several novels, among them
The Flight of Objectivity and
Unbearable Weight:
Feminism. The topic of her
keynote address was “Our
Bodies, Our Selves in the Em-
pire of Images."

Bordo illustrated through
slides how women are shown
the perfect image of a woman
they can never be. But the
women they are shown are
nowhere near perfect. as most
models’ bodies are computer-

altered, she said.

Another favorite of the
conference was an art gallery
that contained several pic-
tures donated from artists.

“The beauty of the art
comes in individuality and
variance of size, shape. color
and sexual orientation. along
with an appreciation for all,“
said Chivas Carter, the confer-
ence’s logo artist.

“This, in turn, is the cele-
bration of women. their bod-
ies and their right to be
whom they want, with great
pride."

More than 50 people at-
tended the conference
throughout the day, some
from as far as Canada.

Quarterback situation: Scipione pulls even
with Bonner in the race for a 1999 starter

By Matt Hay
SPORTSDAILY EDITOR

The race for next year’s
UK football quarterback job is
dead even.

The Cats finished up their
second scrimmage Saturday at
Nutter Fieldhouse with a more
confusing competition be-
tween sophomore Dusty Bon-
ner and redshirt freshman
Mike Scipione.

The battle will come down
to the final two weeks of spring
practice before one succeeds
Tim Couch’s throne.

Head Coach Hal Mumme
said a good week by Scipione
brought the two competitors
even after Bonner had taken

the lead last week.

“We think its dead even,
we couldn‘t make a decision
right now." Mumme said.

The reason?

Bonner followed up his sol:
id performance in the first
scrimmage last Saturday with a
decent day. completing 19 of 30
passes for 270 yards and a touch-
down. But Bonner was also
sacked 12 times by the UK de-
fense. further strengthening the
argument that Bonner lacks the
pocket mobility necessary to
avoid heavy pressure defenses
in the Southeastern Conference.

Scipione used a terrific
week of practice and good
numbers Saturday to bring
himself back to a position

where anyone can win. He
completed 38 of 62 passes for
680 yards and four touch~
downs. but he did throw two
interceptions and was sacked
four times. showing he still
needs to work on his big rap.
inexperience.

Mumme said he would do»
cide who will start about this
time next week.

The scrimmage also fea-
tured some big plays away
from the quarterback spot.

The defense was out-
standing for defensive coor-
dinator Mike Major. The
Cats tallied 16 sacks and two
interceptions.

“We‘ve got more speed
this year. which is quite evi-
dent. “ Major said.

Defensive ends Anwar
Stewart had three-and-a-half
sacks, while sophomore Den-
nis Johnson added two more.

Perhaps more telling of the
defensive domination.
though. is UK did not reach
the end zone in its first 10 of-
fensive possessions.

Also having big days wa
new tight end Chase Harp. who
caught three passes for 48
yards at his new position.
Harp drew the praise of
Mumme. who said he “did a
nice job blocking."

.lunior Carry Davis and se
nior Jimmy Robinson both had
huge performances; Davis
grabbed 10 catches for 242
yards and a touchdown. while
Robinson snagged nine for 132
yards.

The tight end combination
of James Whalen and Bobby
Blizzard were also impressive.
as Whalen caught five passes
for 41 yards and Blizzard added
four catches for 26 yards and a
touchdown.

Razorbacks rip
UK in SEC series

By Michael Hepperman
ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR

One week after taking two
games from Georgia at home.
UK‘s baseball team was brought
back to earth.

Last Thursday. the Cats
traveled to Fayetteville to tan-
gle with Arkansas. On Sunday.
they returned home with three
more losses.

The good news is UK im-
proved each game by narrow—
ing the margin of victory for
the Hogs. On Friday. Brandon
Webb gave up 10 hits and nine
runs in 3 2/3 innings.

UK scored only one run in
the first three innings. with that
one run coming in the third.
when junior Aaron McGlone
singled to right to score sopho-
more Beau Moore from third.

The Hogs. on the other
hand. scored in every inning but
the sixth on their way to rack—
ing up 18 hits and a 15-2 win.

Arkansas‘ David Walling
pitched eight innings and gave
up two runs. one walk and
struck out 12.

On Saturday. UK held the
Hogs to fewer runs. but not few
enough as Arkansas won 11H.

The Cats had another unin—
spired pitching performance
with Ben Shaflar starting for UK
and giving up six runs off of
three hits. After giving upthree
consecutive home runs. Shaffar
hit UA's Scott Crossett with a

pitch. In the next inning. with
Crossett up again, ShatTar
launched a pitch behind him.
leading to Shaffar and UK Head
Coach Keith Madison‘s ejections.
Shaffar was also suspended for
four games and Madison one.

Josh Paxton and Patrick
Mahan pitched the last six in-
nings. with Paxton giving up
three runs and Mahan giving
up one.

Catcher John Wilson pro-
vided UK‘S only run with a solo
shot in the ninth. his 16th
homer of the year.

The Cats (12-20, 4-11 South-
eastern Conference) kept Sun-
day‘s game a bit closer by los-
ing 95 and knocking just three
fewer hits (11 to 8) than AU.

Nathan Kent had the
longest outing of any starter
over the weekend, lasting 6 1/3
innings. UK‘s bats provided
Kent with some run support
and took the lead 5-4 with a two:
run homer by Vince Harrison
in the seventh.

But AU scored five runs
over the next two innings to go
ahead for good.

AU (26-12. 12-3 SEC) now
has won its last 10 Southeastern
Conference games and Joe
Jester knocked at least one hit
in each game to extend his hit-
ting streak to 21 games.

UK will try to get back in
win column 6 pm. at home on
Tuesday against Louisville.

Browns’ No. 1

Tim Couch got his closest scrutiny yet from the

Cleveland mowns president Carmen Policy said Sun.
day the Browns still aren’t sure that Couch, the for-
mer UK stamiout, or Oregon’s Akili Smith is the tram
chise quarterback to build their team around.

“If there is the right person to fill that spot, we've
got to take him,” Policy said.

Couch threw 115 passes in a 90-minute morning
workout administered by Browns coach Chris Palmer
and watched by most of the Browns’ top executives,
including owner Al Lerner, Clark and Policy.

Afterward Palmer said he was satisfied with
Coach’s performance, but refused to say whether he
or Smith had an edge.

“I would say they’re neck-andneck coming down
the stretch.” Palmer said.

The workout was Coach‘s second for the Browns.
On March 11, in a workout run by Couch and his
agent, Tom Condon, he threw about 45 passes for 0th»

Coach’s arm strength has been questioned by
some pro scouts. The quarterback said he threw about
15 deep balls for the Browns on Sunday. .

Palmer had said before the session that he wanted
to see how Couch ed when he was tired.

“I did get winded," Couch said. “But I think my

' arm stayedinpmtty good shape.”~- , . ~ ~

The session was closed to media, but Palmer could
be seen through the doors of the field house handing
the ball to Couch on the snap. studying his mechanics
as he tlu'ew and instructing the quarterback on tech

Policy praised Couch‘s flexibility and willingness
to take instruction.

“There were more passes required of him than he
had anticipated. That didn’t seem to shake him at all,"
Policy said.

Paducah
revisited

PADUCAH - The parents
of three students
killed during a
shooting spree at a
western Kentucky
high school are
taking on the
entertainment
industry.

The parents held a news
conference yesterday
to announce their
intent to file a $130-
million lawsuit
against two Internet
porn sites, several
computer game
companies and the
makers and
distributors of the
Leonardo DiCaprio
film, The Basketball
Diaries.

“We intend to hurt
Hollywood. We intend
to hurt the video
game industry. We
intend to hurt sex
porn sites” on the
Internet, said Jack
Thompson, a lawyer
from Coral Gables,
Fla., who represents
the parents.

The lawsuit said
confessed shooter
Michael Carneal was
influenced by the
violence in The
Basketball Diaries
and by several
violent computer
games such as

“Doom," "Ouake"
and "Mortal
Kombat."

One scene in the movie
shows a dream
sequence in which
the main character.
played by DiCaprio,
guns down his
teacher and some of
his classmates.

The suit also says
Carneal logged onto
porn sites to see
sexually violent
material.

Lawyers for the
defendants named in
the suit did not
comment.

Role call

Some of the defendants
listed in the lawsuit
are:

0 Time Warner, which
produced The
Basketball Diaries.

0 Polygram Film
Entertainment
Distribution

0 Nintendo of America

0 Sega of America

0 Sony Computer
Entertainment

0 Network
Authentication
Systems and Meow
Media, which run
some of the sex
Internet sites Carneal
allegedly visited.

DiCaprio, who starred in
The Basketball
Diaries, was not
named in the lawsuit.

Don't take away
my Nikes

To the editor:

 

The shoes that make my trav-
els to and from class more comfort-
able and the sweatshirt that is
keeping me warm were probably
made by poorly paid. malnour-
ished workers who have to work
18—hour days with few or any
chances to take a break during
their grueling work day.

Some people. such as the Left-
ist Student Union and the Coali-
tion Against Sweatshop Labor.
have a problem with this. I certain-
ly do not. My pair of N ikes are the
finest athletic shoes I have ever
owned, and I bought them at a rea-
sonable price.

If these campus groups had
their way. we‘d probably all be liv.
ing in grass huts. wearing hemp
jumpsuits and eating alfalfa
sprouts and tofu burgers three
times a day. If our clothing was
made in America. home of an out-
rageously high minimum wage
and millions of lazy unionists.
we‘d all have to take out loans to
clothe ourselves.
