The UK College of Medicine re-
ceived a record contribution of $409,-
170 from its graduating class of 19W,
shattering previous alumni dona-
tions to the College of Medicine and
the Chandler Medical Center.

“It shows the alumni’s faith and a
way of expressing that," said Dr.
Emery Wilson, acting dean of the
College of Medicine. “Alumni will
start to take more pride in sponsor—
ing our University."

The UK College of Dentistry’s
alumni are also setting new records.
Members of the College of Dentistry
classes of 1967, ’72, ‘77 and ‘82 pledg-
ed 3213,320. The funds from pledges
were used to establish a new endow-

ment for academic enrichment for
the college to improve programs.

The combined total of pledges
from UK medicine and dentistry
alumni reunion is more than $622,-
000, also a new contribution record.

“It’s a tradition at the 10th-year
reunion, (that) the class gives a gift
back to the Medical Center," said
Dr. James Cash, a pathologist at
Pathology and Cytology Laborato-
ries, Inc. in Lexington.

Dr. Cash, who led the effort, said,
“When something is good to you, it's
my responsibility to repay them. It's
somewhat of an obligation to help
stimulate my class to give money."

A committee of five members vol-
unteered in June to organize the
alumni pledge effort.

“I was willing to ask for money

. . . person-to-person with the class-
mates," Dr. Cash said. “The idea
you're willing to participate is more
effective. . . . than the generic let-
ter.”

Dr. Cash worked independently
from the committeee in getting peo-
ple to attend the reunion. “We didn‘t
want people to feel they had to do-
nate money to come to the reunion,"
he said.

About 40 percent of the class
showed up at the Oct. 30-31 reunion,
Dr. Cash said, and a majority of
people that attended made a contri-
bution.

The gift to the College of Medicine
has been designated to support the
endowment of the UK College of
Medicine‘s Alumni Chair in Anat-
omy. Endowed chairs are used to at-

tract outstanding professors to uni-
versities.

The Medical Center Development
Office makes the needs of the col—
leges aware to the alumni, King
said. The dean presents ideas to the
committee, which then decides what
to support.

The program began in 1985 and it
is a faculty position funded by pri-
vate support, said W. Joe King, di-
rector of the Medical Center Devel-
opment Center.

“The gifts are endowed, (and) the
invested interest income is med to
support the position, " King said.

The chair in anatomy is an ong-
oing fund. “They (alumni! are add~
ing their money to it,“ said King.
Currently there is more than $500.-
000 in the fund.

Inmates in Atlanta prevent settlement

By SONYA ROSS
Associated Press

ATLANTA — A “small but ag-
gressive minority" of Cuban in-
mates blocked the release of 90 hos-
tages from a federal penitentiary
yesterday, officials said, while hun-
dreds of Cubans who surrendered in
Louisiana were sent to other federal
prisons.

The same 100 Cubans, out of a
total population of 1,118, earlier
blocked the release of 50 hostages in
Atlanta, said Patrick Korten. deputy

director of the public affairs for the
US. Justice Department.

“Unfortunately, a small but ag-
gressive minority appears to be able
to intimidate this majority into
dragging out the incident and avoid-
ing a settlement," Korten said.

“Had it been up to those who have
been negotiating on behalf of the ap-
parent majority, they (the hostages)
would probably be out."

The prison was quiet yesterday,
and there was no inmate reaction to
the Louisiana settlement. Authori-
ties spoke with some inmates on

of travel opportunity

By HEIDI PROBST
Staff Writer

Like many UK students, 'l‘im Bar-
nard had a dream to travel abroad.
Unlike many UK students, Barnard
did it.

He returned two weeks ago from
working in Indonesia and traveling
through about 12 other countries for
1% years.

“It‘s been one of my dreams to do
this," Barnard said.

Barnard graduated from UK and
wait to Indonesia to work as an En-
glish teacher at the universities
there. He taught English to help ag-
riculture professors qualify to come
overtotheUnited Stats.

The teachim [togram was set up
with UK's College of Agriculture.
The college took applications from

with bachelor degree: who
wa‘e intested in international
work. The collqe paid for his air

transportation and provided him
with a house and a motorcycle while
he lived on the Island of Sumatra in
lndonesia.

John Lihani, a member of the UK
department of Spanish, described
Barnard as an excellent model for
students.

“Barnard is a symbolic represen-
tative of students and what awaits
them because you never know where
they‘ll end up,“ Lihani said.

For the future, Barnard plans to
expand his international knowledge
in Southeast Asian Studies at the
University of Ohio's gradinte
school. He said he would like to live
in Southeast Asia some day.

Barnard said making the adjust-
ment from moving to lndonesia was
notverydifficult.

“I didn't have many problems or
edjmtmuitatomakewlnnlwentto
Indonesia," Barnard said. “Actinl-
ly, I had to make more (Idjtlt-
mentslcoming back."

Monday, but no formal negotiations
were scheduled.

The riots by Cuban detainees in
both states followed a government
announcement that 2,500 Cubans —
mostly criminals or mentally ill —
would be returned to their home-
land. The inmates have demanded
that they be allowed to remain in
the United States. Cubans seized the
Oakdale, La., prison Nov. 21 and the
Atlanta penitentiary two days later.

Atlanta inmates and federal offi-
cials have been at a stalemate since

He said he became accustomed to
the humid climate and the tropical
atmosphere. as to the Unit-
ed States' dry climate. He also said
the small amount of American tele-
vision shows and male shown in In-
donesia was the best Ama'ica had to
offer, so he said he forgot about "all
the junk" that‘s shown on American
television. SeeS‘I'UDENT, p... a

four hostages were released Sunday
morning.

“We are prepared to be as patient
as necessary as we await a decision
by the Cuban detainees to settle the
incident on a fair and equitable
basis," Korten said, refining to give
additional details on the rift between
inmates.

Federal agents will not use force
to regain control of the 85«year-old
stone prison as long as the prison
workers held hostage are safe. he
said.

Cats’ competition

By TOM SPALDING
Staff Writer

Episode three of the continuing
Lady Kat basketball saga will get
underway at 5:30 tonight at Memori-
al Coliseum against the Eastern
Kentucky Lady Colonels.

Don‘t be surprised if UK coach
Sharon Fanning is familiar with
EKU’s script.

"They‘ve got a simliar philoso
phy." Fanning said. “They have to
scramble to win games because of
theirsize."

Eastern mirrors UK in that as-
pect. The Lady Colonels have only
one player taller than 6—foot-l, soph-
omore center Greta Cahoe. And she
doesn‘t even start.

“We saw them play against the
Australians.“ Fanning said. “(EKUi
is a small team but they're very ag-
gressive. They kept scrapping and
made the second half against the
Aussies a game.“

Kentucky, of course, fell victim to
Australia in an exhibition game 78-
64mNov. 15.

The Lady Kats, 2-0, are coming off
on a strong note after defeating
Louisville (98-77) and East Carolina
(93-75) in last weekend's Lady Kat
Invitational. UK handled both oppo-
nents but Fanning said she wanted
to see more improvement.

“We didn‘t execute as well Satur-
day iagainst East Carolina) and
weren‘t as sharp." Fanning said.
“We're continuing to learn the sys-
tem and have to improve in that
area.“

Eastern Kentucky, 9-18 3 year
ago. will play its first game of the

year tonight. Despite the Lady Colo-

tougher with UC

nels' losing record this year and
UK's quick 20 start, Fanning said
her team isn‘t overlooking them.

“Of course it‘s great to be 24),"
Fanning said. “But we've got put
things in perspective. We have to
forget the record and think of what‘s
now.“

The Lady Colonels are led by se-
nior Carla Coffey. Coffey. a 6-foot-1
center, led EKU in scoring last sea-
son with a 21.0 points per game av-
erage and 9.5 rebounds. She picked
up where she left off against the
Australians. pouring in 18 points.

“She‘s real good.“ Fanning said.
“(As a team) they did not have a
real good shooting percentage. But
they scramble and play hard."

Also figuring to play a key role is
5-8 senior guard Sondra Miller. The
Hazard, Ky.. native contributed 13.2
points per contest for the Colonels
last year.

Joining Coffey and Miller proba-
bly will be 5—7 guard 'I‘ina Reece and
540 junior forward Aquila Milligan.

“One factor if we play hard is
depth." Fanning said. “if they have
a small number of people. running is
going to help us. Heighth shouldn’t
beafactor."

Kentucky will start the same line-
up they had this past weekend: 5-
foot—10 forward BeBe Croley. 64) for-
ward Pam Shrum. 6-4 center Dee
Harrell, 5~8 guard Monique Taranti-
ni and 5-7 point guard Jodie Whitak-
er.
“We‘ll have to play hard and keep
them off the glass.“ Fanning said.

“We need to think of our team and can

what we need to do, and get into our
game plan."

Rex Chapman slams home two points in UK's season-opening 86-
59 win over Hawaii. UK should get a tougher test tonight.

By JIM WHITE
Assistant Sports Editor

UK basketball coach Eddie Sutton
was in a good mood befa‘e his
team's practice yesterday at Rupp
Arena.

And withgoodreason.

Sultan's jokes and smiles to the
media reflected the laugher of the
season (pener the Wildcats had Sat-
urday night against the University
of Hawaii.

UK downed its first opponent 86-
50.

And tonight UK is taking on a
team that’s not exactly known to be
a college basketball powerhouse ei-
ther.

But the Cats' competition is stead-
ily getting steeper with the Universi-
ty of Cincinnati.

UK will play the Bearcats tonight
at 8 at Rupp Arena.

“It’s not going to be another Uni-
versity of Hawaii-type game,” Sut-
ton said. “They're talented. The
only reservation I would have of put-
ting them in the same league as
someoftheothertopteamsonour
roster. . .is that they’reyoung."

They’re young thanks to Proposi-
tion 48.

Last year five of UC coach Tony
Yates‘ high school recruits were told
to sit out a season because of
grades.

This year, however, those five are
back and led by 6-foot-6 forwards
bevertis Robinson and Louis Banks
who are both probable starters fm'
tonight’s game.

Sutton compared Robirson to one
of his own.

“He’s a blooming Winston Ben-
net ," Sutton said. “He’s four years
younger but he’s a good player."

Cincinnati’s main gun is 6-4 senior
guard Roger McClendon.

McClendon averaged almost 20
points a game last season for the
Bearcats and has been named to
several preseason All-American
lists.

“He can put the ball on the floor
and he can hit from the outside,"
Sutton said. “He's certaintly a com-
plete player. We would like to keep
the ball out of his hands as much as
possible. He can hit is for 30 if
we're not careful. He’s a tough ball
player."

UK senior guard Ed Davender will
be one player trying to keep the ball
from McClendon.

“He‘s a player," UK guard Ed
Davender said. “I will just try to
play him the best i can. I feel with
the type of player he is it will be a
challenge.“

But for Cincinnati, the whole situ-
ation of playing UK at Rupp Arena
is a challenge.

“And there’s no telling how they’ll
react,” Sutton said. “When a young
player comes into an atmosphere
like the one we have here, there’s no
telling what he’ll do.

“They will be highly motivated
when they come in here. But we
have to put up with that with every
team we play. Every time we go out
on the hardwood everybody wants a
piece of us.“

Four Kentucky writers give reading
to benefit fight against strip mining

By ROB SENG
Staff Writer

There's a terrible injustice going
on in Kentucky and last night four
Kentucky writers made sure that ev-
eryone in the audience at Memorial
Hall knew about it.

The writers were there to show
their support for the Kentucky Fair
Tax Coalition, an organization that
is voicing its opposition to the broad
form deeds that are depriving land—
owners the rights to their lands.

Broad form deeds refer to con-
tracts that were drawn up between
large mineral holding corporations
and landowners with the corpora-
tions retaining only mineral rights
to the land.

Abuses began to arise in the 1950s
when the companies began strip
mining of the land without any re-
gard to its preservation. In an effort
to curb these activities. states
passed laws deeming these con-
tracts unconstitutional. Kentucky.
however, remains the only state that
allows stripmining.

Bob Henry Baber vegan we eve-
ning‘s reading with a selection of his
poems. One of the poems was an ef-
fective verbatim reading of one of
the broad form contracts that was
subtititled “Granddad. All You

Bought Was The Air." The company
explicitly states in the contract that
they claim no loyalty or respect for
the land. Another poem, “West Vir-
ginia.” curses the exploiters of the
land in reference to those organiza-
tions.

Gurney Norman. author of Kin-
folks, a collection of short stories.
followed with “The Fight," a short
story Norman wrote in 1964. The
story tells of a family who lived on a
mountain that would soon be de-
stroyed by strip mining.

“It’s in the poems and stories that
we can get a sense of these people
who have been struggling against
these wrongs for the last quarter
century," said Norman. “I think
there‘s a certain arrogance in gov-
ernment as such institutions think
they don't have to explain anything
to those ordinary people I write
about." he added.

Following a short intermission.
Denise Giardina read four selections
from her book, Storming Heaven.
The book was chosen as a Book-0f-
the-Month Club alternate selection
and Columbia Pictures recently

Feminist airs
dirty laundry

Associated Press

NEW YORK _. Germaine Greer.
whose work, The Female Eunuch.
was labeled a feminist manifesto in
l969 and whose Sex and Destiny 15
years later was branded a feminist
heresy. has assembled 20 years‘
worth of essays to prove she's been
advancing the same arguments all
along.

What Greer has been saying for
the past two decades. as she (le-
clares in the introduction of her new
book. The Madwoman's Under
clothes: Essays and Occasional
Writings 1317.95. Atlantic Monthly
Press) is that she has advocated nei-
ther promiscuity nor its “institutio
nalized repression.“ but rather "a
less banal and commercial approach
tosexualtty."

The socalled “sexual revolution“
of the 19605 was no real lm'
provement upon the era of female
explortation that existed before it.
because it reduced sex to “self-plea-
suring " Greer recommends that we
take our cues from simpler cultures
where sex is used for prmrezition.

U.S.-Soviet

Reagan says U.

S. unprepared

for Soviet ABM “breakout”

By TERENCE HUNT
Associated Press

WASHINGTON —- President Rea-
gan said yesterday the Soviet Union
may be planning “a breakout" from
the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty that
the United States would be “totally
and dangerously unprepared for"
without his Star Wars missile de-
fense plan.

Reagan made his statement in a
speech to conservatives a week be-
fore his summit meeting with Soviet

leader Mikhail Gorbachev in Wash-
ington. His remarks underscored
Reagan's determination to push
ahead with the Star Wars program
despite objections from Moscow and
congressional attempts to restrict it.

Meanwhile, the White House said
it was unlikely the summit will pro-
duce any breakthrough in U.S.Sovi-
et negotiations for a 50 percent re-
duction in strategic nuclear arms,
the most potent weapons in the su-
perpowers’ arsenals.

Presidential spokesman Marlin
Fitzwater said, “The progress of the
START talks (strategic arms) is at
such a state that it seems unlikely
that we would want to extend (the
summit) for any reason."

Beginning next Tuesday, Reagan
and Gorbachev will hold three days
of talks in Washington. Their meet-
ing will open with the signing of a
treaty to ban intermediate-range nu-
clear missiles — the first accord
ever to eliminate an entire class of
atomic weapons.

Reagan, speaking at a luncheon at
the Heritage Foundation, said nego-
tiations to cut strategic weapons by
half have made progress, but that
“we must never be afraid to walk
away from a bad deal."

He said the Soviets “must stop
holding strategic offensive missile
reductions hostage to measures that
would cripple our research and de-
velopment” of Star Wars, officially
tcalled the Strategic Defense Initia-
ive.

Reagan said the Soviets have
spent $200 billion developing and de-
ploying their own missile defense
system and that it “dwarfs” Star
Wars.

“Yet some in Congress would cut
funding for SDI and bind us to an
overly restrictive interpretation of
the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty that
would effectively block its devel-
opment, giving the Soviets a monop-
oly in ABM defenses," Reagan said.

FAA to have strict postponement planning rules

By H. JOSEF HEBERT
Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The Federal
Aviation Administration is planning
tighter rules on when airlines may
postpone maintenance amid findings
that work at Eastern Airlines — and
possibly other carriers — often has
been delayed to keep planes to their
schedules, FAA officials said yester-
day.

They said the agency has been
looking at 10 airlines to determine
whether federal maintenance re-
quirements are being abused. Ex-
cept for Eastern, none of the other
airlines was named, but sources
said the revrew included vi
