Awareness of AIDS stressed

By TRACEY L. BOYD
Staff Writer

Various UK groups will pull to-
gether Friday to observe the third
annual World AIDS Day and offer
information to the University com-
munity on the virus that causes ac-
quired immune deficiency syndrome
and about available resources.

The purpose of recognizing
World AIDS Day parallels the Uni-
versity’s purpose — to educate.

“We want to be proactive," said
Russ Williams, UK substance abuse
and AIDS educator. “Education is
the primary way to reduce the fear
(of AIDS) and get a more rational
and sane response to the epidemic."

The World Health Organization, a

specialized health agency of the
United Nations, has designated Sat-
urday as World AIDS Day. The Na-
tional HIV and AIDS Awareness
Day is Monday, Dec. 3. UK will
hold its event Friday, and this year's
theme is “Women and AIDS."

WHO’S current statistics about
the AIDS epidemic indicate that be-
tween eight and 10 million people
worldwide are infected with the hu-
man immunodeficiency virus that
causes AIDS. Of this number, more
than three million are women. Pro-
jections based on the current num-
ber of HIV-infected people indicate
500,000 people will develop AIDS
during 1990 and 1991, and 200,000
of these will be women.

In the United States, 152,216

AIDS cases were reported during
1990 by the end of October — 477
in Kentucky. Of these U.S. cases.
93,775 deaths have resulted, 333 of
which were in Kentucky.

“We want to move to increase
awareness and provide education to
prevent further infection and limit
consequences of infection," said
Lisa Stofer, assistant dean of stu-
dents.

An ad hoc committee chaired by
Williams has coordinated the events
on campus. The committee includes
Mary Brinkman, director of health
education for UK Student Health
Services; Tim Dunnagan, director
of the Wellness Program; Nina Rot-
ter, of the Office of lntemational
Affairs; Stofer; and Williams.

Williams has organized a Re-
source Fair to be held Friday in 206
Student Center between 11 am. and
1 pm. The fair will involve repre-
sentatives from many campus edu-
cation organiutions. including the
Wellness Program, the Dean of Stu-
dents Office, Health Education, In-
ternational Affairs Office, College
of Nursing, Student Government
Association, Student Activities
Board, Gays and- Lesbians United
for Education, and Associations of
Medical and Pharmacy Students.
Community-based AIDS service
agencies also will be represented.

related topics will be available to

Volleyball team
gets NCAA bid

By BRIAN JENT
Managing Editor

While UK scttcr Laura Lindcr
was sitting in her room studying
Sunday night, she received an unex-
pected phone call from Coach Ka-
thy DcBocr. The reason: the Wild.
cats received an invitation to the
NCAA Volleyball Tournament.

Besides feeling elated about the
invitation, UK’s captain and only
senior member was surprised that
the NCAA had invited a team that
lost in the first round of the South-
eastern Conference Tournament to
the University of Mississippi (15-4,
4-15. l5-9, 12-15, 12-15) last Fri«
day.
“I thought that was impossible. I
thought my career had ended,” the
All-American candidate said. “Ka—
thy DeBoer called me (Sunday)
night. ‘How about playing in the
NCAA’ she said. I can’t put it
into words how excited I was."

Linder, who will be participating
in her third NCAA tournament, was
the first person DcBocr called about
the Wildcats’ 7:30 pm. game Fri—
day against Florida State University
at Memorial Coliseum.

“I am incredibly thrilled for Laura
Linder because she deserves to go
on. the UK coach said. “The
first person that I called after 1 got
the phone call was Laura Linder be-

cause this would bc the most special
to her."

Although l'K's 21-11 season
could be considered a rollcr coaster
ride, DcBocr thinks her team dc-
servcd the bid because of a second-
placc finish in the SEC and big wms
over teams like Purdue l'niicrsily.
the L'nivcrsity of Illinois and the
University of Wyoming.

“We have had a season in which
we have lived on the edge," she
said. “We would have a good win

. and then we would turn right
around and have a bad weekend."

Despite the first-round loss to
Mississippi. DcBocr thought her
team might qualify for the NCAA
Tournament with its 21~ll record

“The problem is that they had to
forgive us for the Mississippi loss.
and they obviously did." she said.
“There is no doubt in my mind that
this team is good enough to be in
the NCAA."

DeBoer will not make any “pre-
dictions" about how far the team
will advance in the tournament. Her
main concern is Honda State.
which enters the tournament with a
25-9 record.

“There are no bad teams in the
NCAA." DeBoer said. “The 32
teams which got in there are in there
because they are the bcst teams in

UK community skeptical of earthquake predictions

has no special SUanglCS created to
dodge falling buddings.

“I can’t believe a bunch of people
have jumped because one guy made

By ANGELA JONES
Assistant News Editor

Although the prediction of a mas—
sive earthquake along the New Ma-
drid Fault has some people scram-
bling, UK‘s community seems to be
keeping a cool head.

The New Madrid Fault, which
runs through western Kentucky and
is 150 miles away from campus, has
become the topic of discussion in
the past few months, after climatolo-
gist Iben Browning predicted a
quake measuring 7.8 on the Richter
Scale to occur around Dec. 3.

Many experts question the validi-
ty of Browning's prediction, saying
it is just a random guess. Jason Tra-
vis, a western Kentucky native,
agrees.

 

“I think everyone‘s paranoid about nothing,“

Jason Travis,
Undeclared sophomore.

 

“I think everyone’s paranoid
about nothing," said Travis, an un-
declared sophomore.

“He’s a biologist. What does he
know about earthquakes?" Travis
asked.

Travis, a Paducah native, has
grown up in a community where
earthquake insurance is a must and
said the probability of a quake is old
news to him.

“One week‘s no different than the
next” when you live on the New
Madrid Fault, Travis said. “If it’s
gonna happen, it’s gonna. There‘s

not much you can do.”

But Vincent Dmevich, professor
of civil engineering, said although
he doesn‘t take much stock in the
date predicted, a quake is inevitable,
and it will be a good opportunity to
re-evaluate UK’s earthquake emer-
gency response plan.

“It's not clockwork. It could hap-
pen Dec. 3 or Feb. 20," Dmevich
said. “We should take the same pre-
cautions throughout the year."

An emergency response plan for a
quake on campus has been created,
and an emergency team composed

of several physical plant staff mem—
bers and campus police, said Jack
Blanton, vice chancellor for admin-
istration.

“Who can say if we’re going to
have one or not?"

Blanton said people should take
precautions but not be preoccupied
with the prediction.

“Earthquakes are the last thing on
my mind,“ he said. “I‘m more con-
cerned about how students are go-
ing to pass my class."

One student said his plan is to “do
outdoor things” on Dec. 3.

“1 plan to head for open fields af-
ter classes," said Doug Schelling, a
biology junior from Washington
state.

But one Henderson junior said he
thinks the prediction is a joke and

a guess," said Jeff Henderson,
whose hometown is susceptible to
major damage caused by an earth-
quake.

But Henderson said he isn‘t wore
tied.

“I’m no more concerned about
my family on that day than any oth-
er.“

San Francisco native Cindy Ni—
nos, however. said there is plenty of
room for worry ainong UK stu-
dents.

Ninos, who survived the earth-
quake that killed more than 270
people in the Bay area last October.
said she is skeptical of the buildings

Classes continue but no tests during ‘dead week’

But take heart. If you have a final
examination Dec. 3-7, you are not
required to take it, according to the
University rules. The purpose is to
give students time to study for fi-
nals without having to study for oth-

 Olympic medalist
Wins World Trial

By AL HILL
Staff Writer

Wendy Lian Williams, a 1988
bronze medalist, won the first wom-
en’s lO-meter platform diving final
yesterday at the Lancaster Aquatic
Center.

Williams won handily, scoring
more than 47 points over her nearest
competitors.

However, it wasn’t until the third
round that she made her move.

After two mediocre dives. Wil-
liams accumulated six scores of 8.5
and one 9.0. on her third dive —
which was to be the only 9.0 of the
day for the women.

“I knew from the minute I jumped
that I fell right into the groove of the
dive, and the dive took care of it-
self,” Williams said.

Ten of the best women’s 10-meter
platform divers in the United States
competed for the opportunity to go
to the VI World Aquatic Champion-
ships Ian. 3—13 in Perth, Australia.

The World Aquatic Champion-
ships is considered the most compet-
itive diving meet on Earth —— next to
the Olympics.

The women each performed eight
dives with degrees of difficulty
ranging from 1.4 to 3.0.

But only the two best scores from
yesterday‘s competition and Fri~
day’s 1 pm. trial will enable them
to qualify.

Williams, who has been diving

since she was 3, won the first trial
with a score of 420.24. Finishing
second in the event was Colleen
(Cokey) Smith, with a score of
372.69.

Smith dove consistently on all
eight of her dives, but like Williams
it was an outstanding third dive that
that enabled her to finish second be-
fore Linda Pesek’s 362.97.

“I kept my mind clear and took
one dive at a time, I have tendency
to think ahead of the dive I‘m do-
ing," Smith said.

Pesek. 20. was one of the young-
est divers at the meet She finished
a surprising third in her first world
championship trial.

Despite the apparent magnitude
of the meet. it was business as usual
for Pesek.

“It was a little different, but I
thought of it as just another meet,"
she said.

It was Pesek’s fifth dive that re-
ceived the highest score, which was
unusual for her because it was an
inward 2.5 flip dive, usually her
toughest dive. she said.

“I’ve had problems with that dive
in the past, I came off the tower
really clean, and I knew then it
would be a good dive," Pesek said.

The men, who competed on the
three meter board last night, were
led by Mark Penzi. Penzi narrowly
defeated former Olympians Mark
Bradshaw and Kent Ferguson.

Penzi dived consistently through-
out the competion.

Pesek’s fear lifts
her to new heights

By AL HILL
Staff Writer

After a near fatal disaster on the
lO—meter platform high dive, NCAA
champion Linda Pesek has earned a
healthy respect for the diving tower.

“I'll never play dive from the tow-
er,” Pesek said. “I need things to
have to think about that takes my
mind off the height, it helps me
keep my mind straight."

Pesek, a native of Houston. Tex-
as, is visiting Lexington this week in
hopes of qualifying for the World
Championships, to be held in Perth,
Australia. in January.

The competition, which began
yesterday at the Lancaster Aquatics
Center, was Pesek’s first big non-
collegiate meet.

“This was the first time she has
gotten to dive in a meet of this cali-
ber, and we were very excited about
the way she dived today — very
consistent” said Dave Parrington,
Pesek’s coach.

Parrington was alluding to yester-
day's third-place finish in the first
of two competitions on the lO-meter
platform.

Pesek has her work cut out for
her, as only the top two divers from
both competitions will qualify for
the big one in Australia.

It hasn’t been an easy trip to the
top of her sport —— and to the top of
the 10.meter platform —— for Pesek.
She began diving her sophomore
year in high school. Her rise, in fact,
nearly ended in tragedy.

While training for the Senior Na-
tionals in 1986, she missed her dive,
and, landing awkwardly, she lost
consciousness after impact.

“I was doing a 3.5 tuck, I came
out of my dive too early and landed
horizontal —- I was knocked uncon-
scious. I didn’t remember anything I
did that day, then I had to do the
same dive two days later (in train-
ing)," Pesek said.

She had to be dragged out of the
water by onlookers.

But that didn’t stop the coura—
geous Pesek. She competed five

days later in the competition and
hadtoperformthesamedive—the
3.5 tuck. And “she did it quite
well," Parrington said.

It was Parrington who persuaded
her to try the lO-meter platform, as
she said she felt more comfortable
on the lower level boards.

“When she first started out, she
was really scared of the platform,
but was eager to do it . In the ear-
ly days of her career, I had to push
her a great deal. but I knew she had
the potential,” he said

She feels she owes her successes
——aswellasherrecovery—toa
much bigger influence.

“Prayer and the Lord. It’s ab0ve
consistency and everything else —
that‘s what got me here," Pesek
said.

Pesek enjoys diving, but she said
she doesn’t feel she's competing
against the other divers at this
event

“The person who is most deserv-
ing and is doing the best at the time
deserves to represent the United
States . The diving world is like
a family — they are supportive and
they cheer each other on," she said.

Pesek currently is a senior at the
University of Houston.

Apparently the diving blood ms
in the family —— her little sister Ka-
thy also has trained with Parrington.

“(Kathy is) also an outstanding
talent," the coach said.

Recently, Pam'ngton took the div-
ing coach job at University of Ten-
neswe. In order to train, the elder
Pesek travels to Knoxville on week-
ends. During the week, she and Far-
rington talk on the phone and exam-
ine videotapes.

At the end of the school year, Pe-
sek will move to Knoxville. where
she can train full time with Parting—
ton. There she will prepare for the
1992 Olympics.

“The first year of diving 10 meter
was really scary,” she said. “I didn’t
know exactly how much time you
have to fall.

"The thing is being lost and not
knowing where I am.”

Kats defeat N KU

By TIM WIESENHAHN
Staff Writer

Although the Lady Kats breezed
past the Northern Kentucky Univer-
sity Lady Norse 97-79 last night at
Memorial Coliseum, UK coach
Sharon Fanning was less than enthu-
siastic about her team’s third victory
in as many games this season.

Following the game, Fanning
stood on the court scouring the
game’s score sheet for bright spots.

“We had six players in double fig-
trres — that’s a plus,” Fanning said.
“And it was a ".”W

The Lady Kats full-court press
forced 12 first—half NKU tumovers
as they raced to a 54-36 halftime ad-
vantage. Still, Fanning was not im-
pressed.

“They (NKU) out-hustled and out-
scrapped us all night," Fanning said.
“We were sloppy protecting the ball
and consistently beaten to the boards
all night

“We need to work on the funda-
mentals.”

The loss dropped Northem Ken-
tucky to 2-1.

NKU coach Nancy Winstel said
that UK’s depth proved to be the dif-
ference in the game.

“We simply ran out of gas with
four or five minutes left in the first

half,” Winstel said. “Their depth
was too much.”

Sophomore Lori McClellan
chipped in 21 points and pulled
down four rebounds for the Lady
Norse.

Senior guard Tracye Davis led
UK’s attack with 15 points, and
sophomore center Jocelyn Mills and
junior forward Stacy McIntyre each
contributed 14 points.

UK's swarming full-court press
kept the Lady Norse unsettled all
night as they committed 21 tumo-
vers and shot only 38 percent from
the field, including 44 percent from
three-point range.

NKU, however, was more suc-
cessful from the charity stripe, hit-
ting 27 of 34 free throw attempts.

The Lady Kats canned 48 percent
of their shots from the floor, includ-
ing 45 percent from three-point
range, while converting 66 percent
of their free throws.

The Lady Kats will have one day
to work on their fundamentals to get
ready for Ohio State University who
comes to Memorial Coliseum for a
7:30 pm. game tomorrow.

The Lady Kats see the game as an
opportunity to earn some national
respect because the Lady Buckeyes
made it to the NCAA postseason
tournament.

Vukovich III dies in crash

Assoclatod Press

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. — Bill
Vukovich III, a third-generation
race car driver whose grandfather
was killed while leading the India-
napolis 500 in 1955, died Sunday
following a crash at Mesa Marin
Speedway.

Vukovich, 27, had just completed
a few practice laps when his sprint
car slammed into a wall at about
11:30 am. PST, said Frank Lewis,
president of the California Racing
Association.

“Basically he went into the turn.
took his foot off the gas and went to
hit the brakes to slow the car down,"
Lewis said. “The car locked up and
he went straight into the wall.

“He hit his head against the wall
and that's what killed him."

His grandfather, Bill Vukovich.
won the Indy 500 in 1953 and 1954
and was killed while leading the
1955 race.

His father, Bill Vukovich Jr., was
runner-up at Indy in 1973 and raced
Indy cars for 12 years.

Vukovich Jr. discussed the death
of his father and watching his son
follow in their footsteps during a
1988 interview with The Associated
Press.

“Billy never really came to me
and said, 'Let's talk about your
dad.’

“Billy was always a strong-
headed kid and he grew up around
cars. And when he was convinced
driving was what he wanted to do, I
sat him down and told him this is se-
rious business and not a game.

“I also told him, ‘You‘ve got to
be nuts to drive one of these things.
But your grandfather did it and I did
it, and I never asked my mother
what she thought.‘

“But then I didn't know much
about my dad at the time either. I
was 11 years old when he was
killed."

Pianist Davidovich
to make local debut

Staff reports

Russian-bom pianist Bella David-
ovich is making her long-awaited
Lexington debut on the University
Artist Series at the Otis A. Single-
tary Center for the Arts tonight at 8.
Her 1989 Series performance was
cancelled suddenly due to illness.

“All last season, my audience was
asking when Bella was going to re-
tum,” said Holly Salisbury, director
of the Singletary Center. “I’m sure
they'll find her performance to be
well worth the wait”

The program features six Chopin
works: “Fantasisie in F minor,”
“Prelude in C sharp minor." two
mazurkas, a scherzo and one barca-
rolle. Schumann’s famed Romantic
piece “Camaval: Scenes mignonnes
sur quatre notes” constitutes the en-
tire second half of the program.

Before emigrating to the United
States, Davidovich was one of the
Soviet Union‘s pre-eminent artists,
and one of the few women admitted
into the inner circle of Russian cul-
tural life. Born into a family of mu-

training at six. She was 18 when she
entered the famed Moscow Conser-
vatory, and in 1943 she won first
prize in the Chopin Competition in
Warsaw, earning the title “Deserv-

important to note how this group

ventional. But this doesn‘t stop the
album from being at least a moder-
ate musical success.

The Hammond organ triumphs
over the guitar again in “White
Shin." The use of the organ is tact-
ful, but there's too much of it in this
song. The song — in fact the entire
album —— could benefit from more
substantial guitar use and a little less
organ.

The album’s saving grace is the
subtlety of the guitar under the tire-
some layers of organ reverb.

The weather gets grayer with
“Then." By this time the listener is
tired of hearing the Hammond steal
all the thunder, but here a gentle

rain of jazz falls and cools the over-
heated patience.

The best cut on side one of Some
Friendly is a kooky little instrumen-
tal titled “109 pt. 2.” The whole
tune sounds like old Pink Floyd
with guest appearance by the
Doors’ keyboard player. The organ
doesn't bother the listener as much
on this track, since it doesn't have
vocals to compete with.

“Polar Bear” is the most dancea-
ble track on side two — perhaps the
whole album. The sound is similar
to that of the Talking Heads, but
once again. that organ hammers at
the listener’s nerves. It starts to
sound more like an organ grinder in
“Believe You Me.”

Another weak point in this other-
wise wonderful album is the repeti-
tious nature of the songs. The bass
isn’t too meticulous or complex.
And somebody, please. unplug that
organ!

Finally, the guitar gets its chance
in “Flower” and earns its rightful
place as lead instrument. The listen-
er, however, is treated to too much
of a good thing.

If you like the sounds of the
Smiths, then “Sonic” is your tune.

together in satisfying tones and crisp
backbeats. If this sounds more like a
nice snack than a song. you're right.
This is the best track on the album
because it explores more of the or-
gan's potential.

Influences of the Doors, Manfred

.Mann and Pink Floyd blend well in

the album's final track. “Sproston
Green." The guitar riffs are more ex~
pressive and moody, and the vocals
here are by far the best.

As a whole, Some Friendly is a
good album for your alternative mu-
sic collection. But if you don't like
the sound of an organ, don‘t buy it.
If you're enthusiastic about psyche-
delic dance music with a more tradi-
tional flower power flavor, then this
album is for you.

Students shoqu=

give SGA piece
of their minds

A common complaint students have about the UK Student
Government Association is that its members are unresponsive
to the needs of the average student. Some have remarked that
SGA would not know the average student if one walked into

its office.

When confronted with those comments, most SGA officials
respond, “No one has told me about that.”

This week, SGA's freshman senators and senators at large
are giving students a chance to tell them how SGA can better
serve UK’s increasingly diverse and multi-cultural Lexington
Campus and Lexington Community College.

Through the rest of this week, the 19 senators will be at the
“SGA Question and Answer Booth” on the second floor of the
Student Center from 11 am. to 2 pm.

No appointment is necessary, and you don’t have to have
been a major campaign supporter to speak with them.

The senators’ efforts may be seen by some cynics as another
attempt by SGA to window-dress its organization. No matter
what the intentions, students serious about the booth should
take the opportunity to speak with senators informally about
what they need to do to improve SGA and UK.

Govemment’s strength comes from its ability to effectively
respond to its constituents’ needs. If the constituents do not
make their opinions known
