UK gets $1.7 million
for cardiac research

By THOMAS J. SULLIVAN
Editorial Editor

The UK Medical Center an-
nounced at a press conference yes-
terday that it received a $1.7 million
grant from the National Institute of
Health to participate in the Cardiac
Arrhythmia Suppression Trial.

The trial, which will take place at
27 test sites in three countries, the
United States, Canada and Sweden,
“is aimed at addressing the issue of
sudden death," said Anthony DeMa-
ria, the principle investiytor for the
study.

Sudden death is believed to be
linked to cardiac arrhythmias, or ir-
regular heart rhytiﬁns, DeMaria
said.

Cardiac arrhythmias are diag-
nosed by a 24-hour test done on a
Holler machine. This machine en-
tails the placement of multiple elec-
trodes on the patient’s chest to mon-
itor a patient's heartbeat for an
entire day, said Dr. Stephen
Edelstein. a Lexington doctor and a
member of the study‘s advisory
board.

While persons suffering from
extra heartbeats following a heart
attack don't usually experience any
pain from them, Edelstein said
there are exceptions.

“Many patients have this and are
not aware of it, it all depenrk on the
nature of the arrhythmias and toler-
ance of the patient," Edelstein said.

The study, which will take place

“Many people have
this (arrhythmia) and
are not aware of it . .

Dr. Stephen Edelsteln,
study board member

over a five year period, will focus on
the effectivness of three drugs be-
lieved to “make the arrhythmia go
away," DeMaria said.

In a randomized sampling, some
of the patients who have had heart
attacks and are experiencing irregu-
lar heart beats will be placed on one
of three arrythmia suppressing
drugs while others will be given pla-
cebos.

These participants will be selected
from the patients of the doctors par-
ticipating in the study, DeMaria
said.

Each patient will be enrolled for
three years. Two patients have al-
ready been enrolled in the study,
which officially began June 15.

But the drugs in the study are be-
lieved to have some “undesirable
side effects,” DeMaria said.

These effects range from nausea
to effects on the central nervous sys-
tem,Edelstein said.

However, DeMaria doesn’t forsee
this as being a problem. “in this
particular group of drugs, the side

UK ranked
in top 70
in research

By ANTHONY CLARK
Contributing Writer

A Princeton, NJ. foundation has
released rankings that include UK
among the top 70 US. research uni-
versities.

Lane Mann, the Carnegie Founda-
tion for the Advancement of Teach—
ing‘s director of data and trenrh
analysis, said UK's “Research 1"
ranking was based on National Sci-
ence Foundation records, and re-
flects the amount of federal re-
search grants the school received,
and the number of Ph.D.s it grant-
ed.

Mann said that, to qualify for the
“Research I" rank this year,
schools had to receive at least $33.5
million in federal research grants
during the 1m fiscal year.

Qualifyirg schools also issued 50
or more Ph.D.s during that period.

UK is Kentucky's only “Research
I" imtitution and one of only 70 such
schools nationwide.

Wimberly Royster, UK's vice
chancellor for research, said the
new rank “places UK in a class of
research and graduate institutions
that are very much involved in na-
tional research policy."

Royster said UK received 351 mil-
lion in federal research money dur-
ing lessee.

He said the funk supported re-
search projects in variom fieitb, in-
cluding $4.6 million at the Medical
Center, 814.7 million in the College
of Agriculture, $3.9 million in the
College of Arts & Sciences. 83.9 mil-

Former UK player finds
niche in Arena Football

By RICK JENKINS
Contributing Writer

It's been eight years since Pitts-
burgh brought home a National
League pennant and an uncharacte-
ristic seven years since it rode the
arm of Terry Bradshaw to a Super
Bowl victory.

There are no more chants of “We
are family" ringing from the Pi-
rates‘ bullpen, now that they are
buried deep in the National League
East cellar. And the Steel Curtain
seems to be drawn for the time
being.

But Pittsburgh is not without a
league-leading team this year.

The Gladiators, representing the
new Arena Football League, have
saved Pittsburgh from mediocrity
and former UK safety Rissell
Hairston has emerged as the team
and the sport’s new star.

The 13136 graduate of UK leads the
undefeated Gladiators (4-0) as well
as the four-team league in recep-
tions, total yardage, touchdowns and
interceptions.

“He’s leading the league by far,"
said Gladiator coach Joe Haering,
who was an assistant coach at UK
from 196972.

“He’s 6-3, 210 pounds, runs a 4.4 40
(yard dash) and is a great compet-
itor. He has the qualities it takes to
play in any league."

But one glance makes it evident
thatthisisnot just any league.

Arena Football is played, as its
name suggests, in an arena. The
ﬁeld is 50 yank long and 85 feet
wide.

Tightly strung 30-by-32-feet high
rebound nets are stretched across
theendzonetokeeptheballinpiay

There are eight players on a team,

“(Hairston) was one of
those guys that just
had some great all-

around talent."
Jerry Claiborne,
UK Football coach

But despite the game's peculiari-
ties, Hairston is catching on to the
new form of football.

In last week’s game against the
Denver Dynamite, Hairston caught
six touchdown passes, accumulated
247 receiving yank, intercepted a
pass and accounted for 38 of Pitts-
burgh’s 49 points. He received the
game's Most Valuable Player
award.

“He was one of those guys that
just had some great all-around tai-
ent," said UK coach Jerry Clai-
borne. “We thought he had a great
shot in the NFL."

But at the end of Hairston's career
at UK he didn’t receive a call from
anyNFLteams.

“I wasn't drafted," Hairston said.
“I went to New England, for a free
agent tryout camp, but things didn’t
work out. Then I went to a Cincin-
nati tryout camp, but was cut."

“I think that if a team doesn‘t
give (Hairston) a chance in their
training camp, there’s a great (in-
justice) in the world,” Haering said.

Hairston went back to his old high
school in Lanham, Md., as an assis-
tant coach. That's where he heard
about an Arena Football tryout
camp in Washington, DC. After
dong well at the Washirgton camp,
Hairston was offered a spot at the
league's tryouts in Chicago.

“We held camps in five different
cities that were open to the public,”

Former UK safety Russell Hairston now plays
wide receiver for Arena Football's Pittsburgh Glad-

Haering said. “Now. we’re glad we
havetHairston)."

People around the league are
quickly realizing that Hairston is the
premier player in Arena Football.

Denver coach Tim Marcum said
at the halftime of an ESPN televised
game that his team didn’t have any-
one that could hang with Hairston.
And announcer Lee Corso com-
mented that it was physically impos-
sible to stop him in one-on-one cov-
erage.

Hairston is hoping his success in

the AFL will catch the eyes of some
NFL teams, but for now he is enjoy-
ing the spin-off sport.

“(The NFL) is a possibility, but
right off hand I can’t say that I've
heard from any of the teams,”
Hairston said. “I hope the chance
comes. But now l’m just trying to
concentrate on winning the rest of
our games and getting into the

Bowl."

has averaged more than 11,000 a

“It's real exciting and the fans
like to see it," Hairston said. “You
have to play both ways (offense and
defense), and the fans like to see
that too. (And) I like it. i gum
that's because I’m doing so well."

Haering said there will definitely
be a “next season" for Arena Foot-
ball and added there could be up to
10 teams added to the league. The
coach said possible locations for new
franchises include Detroit;
Anchorage. Alaska; Honolulu and
Puerto Rico.

UK signees John Pittman and
Eric Manual have met the Proposi-
tion 48 requirements and will be eli-
gible to participate in the 1987-88
basketball season.

The two high school standouts took
the American College Test on June
13. which was the last available day
to take the test for the 1987-88 school
year.

“I‘m very pleased that John has
met the requirements." UK coach
Eddie Sutton said in a press release.
“He has an outstanding future
ahead of him. not only as an athlete
but also as a student.

“Naturally we are quite pleased
that Eric has qualified," Sutton
said.

“We have felt all along that he is
a quality student who did well in
high school and who will do well in
the classroom in college.

“He should have a great future,
not only on the court, but academi-
cally as well."

UK‘s other five recruits, LeRon
Ellis. Deron Feldhaus, Johnathon
Davis, John Pelphrey and Sean Sut-
ton have already met the require-
ments.

“We're excited about our incom-
ing freshmen," Sutton said. “We felt

tional athlete, but a quality student.

“With everyone meeting the Prop-

inforces what we have felt about this
group all along," Sutton said.

Pittman. a 7-foot 245-pound center
from Rosenberg, Texas. was a con-
sensm prep All-American at Terry
High School last season, averaging
20.7 points, 16.3 rebounds and 6
blocked shots per game.

He led Terry High to a 25~7 season
record.

Manual was chosen as Georgia‘s
Player of the Year last season and
earned first-team All-American hon-
ors.

The Home Manual averaged 24
points and 7.9 rebounds for home-
town Macon’s Southwest High
School.

Pittman, unlike Manual, who took
the test for the first time in June,
took the ACI‘ prior to the June 13

Houseman declares he’s not Professor Kingsfield

By TIM CARTER
Contributing Writer

LOUISVILLE — John Houseman,
an Oscar-winning actor, director
and theater and film producer,
wantsittobeknownthatheisnot
Professor Kingsfield.

Horseman, who lectured at the
Kentucky Center for the Arts last
Wednesday, spoke at length about
his work in and views on television
andtheAmerican theater.

Horseman, unfortunately, has
been best remembered for his por-
trayal of the tyrannical Professor
Kirgsfield in the film and television
series “The Paper Chase."

Houseman's address to the crowd
was not without some recognition of

possible misconceptions concerning
his “Paper Chase” character.

After being introduced, he thanked
the moderator for “. .. above all,
making it clear that you are beirg
addressed by John Horseman and

not, as many people suppose, by
Professor Kirgsfield.

“For the past few years this has
not been clear and, in general, the
people I meet are under the imprs~
sion that it is Professor Kimfield to
whom theyare talkiru," hesaid.

A good deal of what Horseman
had to say concerned television and
its effects on American culture.

Among other things. he noted its ef-
fect on celebrities like himself.

“It's a very moot point, of course,
how much of me is Professor Kings-
field," said Horseman. “One of the
characteristirs of the new art of
television is that the confusion of
real personalities with fictional ones
takes place and is almost irsupera-
ble.

“Professor Kirgsfield, like all fic-
tional characta‘s, was based on a
real person. He was based on a very
well-known professor at Harvard
Law School by the name of ‘Bull’
Warren. He had a reputation for
knowledge, skill, considerable wit
and for being an intolerable bully

and a horror, in general," Horse-
man said.

Horseman also spoke amrsedly of
his work in a number of television
commercials. He became popular as
an actor in commercials, he said,
when“. . . they checked and found,
much to my amazement, that I was
the most credible nrale characte- in
television after Walter Cronkite."

Cynical about the [resent state of
the American theater, Horseman
again made reference to television.

“I think that television is bolder,
more courageors and, on the whole,
more resourceful in its invention of
subject matter and in its dealing

with subject matter than the theater
has been," said Horseman.

In addition to his vast theater,
television and commercial work,
Horseman is also known for his
work in film. In 1937, Horseman as-
sisted Orson Welles in the establish-
mentoftheMercury Theater.

Although in recent years Horse-
man's presence in the movies has
been limited to appearances in low-
budget horror films, such as John
Carpenter's “The Fog" (1&2) and
1901's “Ghost Story," his reputation
in film came from more heralded
roles in movies like “The Blue Dahl-
ia" (1946), “Julius Caesar” (1952)
and “56's “Lust for Life."

‘Metal Jacket’
a thoughtful
View of war

By WESLEY MILLER
Arts Editor

The motion picture industry seems
to develop a social and political con-
science every eight years or so.

At least, a social and political con-
science concerning the Vietnam
War. . ‘ 0

big - b u d g e t
ﬁlms about the horrors of the Viet-
namconflict.

“Coming Home" examined the
conflict that occurs back home,
when the survivors return from the
actual fighting. “Apocalypse Now,"
whose release was delayed a year
due to [reduction problems, exam-
ined the horrors, both physical and
mental, of being in Vietnam. “The
Deer Hunter,” which remains the ul-
timate film statement on the war,
struck a happy medium, concentrat-
ing on the lives of three individuals,
and how their lives were changed by
theconflict.

Temporarily satisfied, Hollywood
placed the Vietnam War on the
backbumer, with “Birdy” the only
major, seriors release (not includ-
ing such mindless classics as “First
Blood" and “Missing in Action")
that dealt primarily with the war
through about 1985.

Then came “Platoon.” And an
Oscar for Best Picture. And about
$100 million in receipts.

And the Vietnam War came back
into vogue.

“Full Metal Jacket” is Stanley
Kubrick's turn at bat to take a
swing at the Vietnam War, and the
result is more pleasing than fellow
cinematic genius Francis Coppola’s
second war effort, “Gardens of ~
Stone," which was largely uninvolv-
ingandattirnes downrightboring.

“Full Metal Jacket” looks at the
influence of the war on the young
soldiers who were forced to get
tough,yowupandlookdeathinthe
eye without flinching.

'I‘hestoryisseenthroughtheeyes
ofaprivatewhoisknownonlyas
“Joker." Matthew Modine, the star
of “Birdy,” has that wide-eyed look
at the beginning that reﬂects his na-
ivete about what he is becoming in-
volved in.

However, boot camp discipline
and subservience to sadistic ser-
geants transform Pvt. Joker into a
hardened, though still inex-
perienced, soldier. He knows how to
kill, but his basic reservations about
the takirg of human life, symbolized
by the persistent appearance of a
peace sign on his iatigues, force him
tobecomeawar correspondent.

”M Metal Jacket," which has an
authentic feel despite heirs ﬁlmed
entirely at Pinewood Studios in Lon-
don, is not paced in a straightfor-
ward fashion, but is rather a series
of vignettes that alternates between
humor and terror, action and calm,
life and death.

Consequently the people who ap-
pear in Joker’s existarce are no
more than depersonalized carica-
tures, not there to be characterised,
onlytheretokillwhiletryimtosur-
vive.

and there are sequences where his
filrnrnaking genits is unmistakea-
ble. There are not the many long,
lingerirg sequences that are tsually
his trademark, but lingering shots
would have clashed with the chaos
prevalent in Vietnam.

“Full Metal Jacket" is a thought-
provokirg look at the Vietnam con-
flict, featuring good performances
by Dorian I-larewood, Adam Baldwin
and Kevyn Major-Howard, among
others, in supporting roles.

See this, and then try watching
“Rambo: First Blood Part 2" with a

' straight face.

By MICHAEL S. BLANKENSHIP
Contributing Critic

The major problem with the UK
theater production of “A Little Night
Music" lies in the unfortunate vocal
projection by the lead performers,
who were often overshadowed by the
supporting cast.

If “A Little Night MIBIC" had
been performed without the musical
arrangements, the cast would have
been great and director James
Rodgers would have had a critical
success on his hands. Rodgers ap-
parently casted more for the acting
demands than the individual’s vocal
ability or else “Send in the Clowm"
wouldn’t have sounded as lacklrster
asit did.

Many of the actors on stage were
going through the performance like
frigrtened animals, sweating
through their singing parts. The only
outstanding performances were
given by Eric Johnson and Amy Mc-
Connell, as Count and Countess Mal-
colm.

Johnson’s strong voice came
through loud and clear while McCon-
nell kept her tongue as sharp as a
knife without losing character
throughout the play.

‘Night Music’ successful as drama,
but hits flat note with poor vocals

A strong voice overlooked for the
lead was Hope Barbian, playing the
maid Petra. Barbian had her shin-
ing moment when she performed
“The Miller‘s Son," even though she
acted rather timid and reserved as
the only animate character on the
stage besides the sleeping Wren Pic-
asso, in his best role ever as Ma-
dame Armfeldt’s butler.

The musical
centers on two WTHEATER
families. the REVIEW é
Egermam and
the Armfeldts, and their love inter-
ests. Fredrik Egerman loves Desir-
ee Armfeldt, who returns his love
but has an affair with the married
Carl-Magma Malcolm.

Iv‘redr-ik’s wife, Anne, is young
enough to be his daughter-in-law,
which could come true because Fre-
drik's son, Henrik, is madly in love
with Anne. Things come to a head
when everyone spends a weekend at

the estate of Madame Armfeldt, De-
siree‘s mother.

As the heroine of this musical,
Trish Clark looked, acted, and
talked wonderfully in the role of De-
siree Armfeldt, the notoriors actress
who drives men to their knees at her
beck and call, but she sang lousily.

Her leading man, Roger bee Lea-
sor, as lawyer Fredrik Egerman,
provided a large dose of charm and
wit, but not enough to cover Clark’s
inadequate vocal ability.

The rest of the cast was average,
and often was overshadowed by the
orchestra, which was beautifully
conducted by Phillip Miller. The
star of the show was the fabulols
set, designed by John Holloway.

It’s unfortunate when the set out—
shines the perforrnance, but in this
case “A Little Night Mrsic" was
like a tiny candle sitting in a pictur-
esque window, ready to be blown out
by the slightest draft.

VIEWPOINT

North ’s actions
subvert precepts
he was defending

It appears that Marine Corps Lt. Col. 01i-
ver North has become quite an item lately.

After appearing on national TV for six con-
secutive weekdays our “Ollie” has become a
national hero to some. Filling his testimony
before the Iran-contra committee with
charm, wit and bravado, North is slowly
generating a reputation that might someday
be on par with George Washington, God for-
bid.

With a good portion of the country support-
ing North by contributing to his defense fund
or selling “Ollie North fan club" T-shirts,
the fired National Security Council aide is
becoming a veritable celebrity.

Ratings for North’s televised testimony
have even exceeded the daytime soap operas
— a feat which surely cannot be accom-
plished easily.

What is most unfortunate about the pro-
ceedings is that “Ollie’s follies” may have
convoluted the real issues that Congress
must deal with.

North has said throughout his testimony
that he sold arms to the Iranians and diver-
ted the profits from that sale to the contras,
without question, at the request of former
NSC head Robel't McFarland and current
NSC chief Rear Adm. John Poindexter.

North has been quick to defend his actions
and justifies them accordingly by saying the
executive branch has the right to conduct
foreign policy as it sees fit without interfer-
ence from Congress.

From all accounts, North believes he did
nothing wrong based on what he perceives is
the role of the executive branch. He believes
that what he did was right for America.

Unfortunately, while North and his col-
leagues were trying to uphold democracy
abroad, they were circumventing the very
system that upholds democracy at home.

By using the NSC, the executive branch
was able to carry out policies that could
have embroiled our country in a regional
conflagration without the American public
ever knowing anything about it.

After six days of North’s testimony, it is
becoming clear that the executive branch
abused its powers in not consulting with Con-
gress before selling arms to Iran.

Covert Operations are diametrically op-
posed to the beliefs and ideals outlined in our
Constitution. Despite what North says, they
do not promote democracy. They destroy it
by deceiving the public.

Checks and balances were created to pre-
serve the public's right to govern itself.
When Congress‘ ability to check executive
branch action is usurped, the public's right
to self-government is taken away.

Never again must an elite group of individ-
uals be allowed to possess so much power
that it is able carry out foreign policy be-
yond the American public ‘5 knowledge.

How much more un-American can you
get?

High technology should ’ve passed us by

Technology has passed our grandparents
by.

Yep, we’ve taken technology just one
step too far for those who lived through
the era of the Model T and the Wright
Brothers.

Now I have more respect for my elders
than a lot of people my age do, but there
are jmt some things they weren't meant to
come in contact with. And it's the
salesmen in this world who don’t under-
stand this, or maybe they just don't care.

I first realized this growing problem
about four montls ago when my grand-
mother purchased a microwave. Why does
an 85-year-old woman, who dines in res-
taurants everyday of the week, need a mi-
crowave?

I tried to explain the basic concepts. I
wrote them down. I acted them out. I even
directed the actions of my dear grand-
mother while she placed a popcorn pack-
age into the radioactive machine.

Finally it worked. Grandma made pop
corn. But that's it. I mean that's all the
woman uses it for. It‘s a $300 popcorn
maker.

1 have tried to explain that you can put
leftovers in it and heat them up. But she
uses the stove. She can’t understand the
concept of
