Wheelchair charger
stolen from campus

 

By Anne Jackson
Staff Writer

 

Brian Caner thought his motor-
ized wheelchair would be safe
when he left it in a storage area of
the Old Student Center last week.

But when the biology freshman
returned from his math class
Wednesday. he discovered that
someone had stolen the wheel-
chair‘s battery charger, leaving him
in a difficult spot.

His wheelchair‘s batteries were
almost dead, and he had no way to
recharge them.

“The night it was stolen," Carter
said, “I was basically in a panic be-
cause my chair needed to be
charged.“

Caner uses the wheelchair to get
around campus, so he has been
forced to lease a battery charger un-
til he can scrape together $400 to
buy a replacement.

“My chair wasn‘t insured," he
said, “so there was no money to
pay for a new charger."

The theft is puzzling because the
charger was designed to work spe-

cifically on wheelchairs.

“It's a 24-volt charger set up to
charge two 12-volt batteries at a
time,“ Carter said. “Hopefully,
someone won‘t try to rig it up to a
car battery because it will blow the
battery up."

Caner said he thought the charg-
er was stolen simply because ‘it
wasn‘t bolted down.

He cautioned students to think
twice before leaving their valuables
unattended — even when students
think they‘re in a safe place. Caner
said the room where he left his
wheelchair is supposed to accessi-
ble only to UK staff.

Frank Harris, director of the Stu-
dent Center, agrees that students
need to be careful.

“I‘m not saying that we're any
different from any other communi-
ty this size," Harris said, “(but)
there are always going to be a cer-
tain number of individuals who are
going to steal whatever they can get
their hands on."

Harris should know. Some
months ago, someone stole a large-
screen TV from a lounge in the Stu-
dent Center.

Administration
OKs air strikes
to quell Serbs

 

By Barry Schweid
Associated Press

 

WASHINGTON — The Clinton
administration endorsed a repon
yesterday by the UN. secretary-
general that gives the go-ahead for
air strikes against Bosnian Serbs if
they attack peacekeepers in two
key towns.

At the same time, the administra-
tion continued to pursue an allied
consensus as President Clinton met
at the White House with Gennan
Chancellor Helmut Kohl.

It could be pan of a final concen-
ed diplomatic effon to settle the
bloody conflict in the former Yugo-
slav republic before military action
by the NATO allies.

Disagreeing with France‘s incli-
nation to pressure the Muslim-led
Bosnian government into accepting
settlement terms, the administration
is sounding out Kohl, British For-
eign Secretary Douglas Hurd and

Teen drug use risin

Numbers up for first time in more than 10 years

 

By Christopher Connell
Associated Press

WASHINGTON ~ After declin-
ing steadily for more than a decade,
smoking and drug use by teen-
agers is on the rise again.

An annual survey of 51,000 high
school and eighth-grade youth in
more than 400 schools found that
fewcr ken-tigers now see the peril
in experimenting with cocaine and
other illicit dmgs.

The study by University of Mich-
igan researchers found that 9 per-
cent of eighth graders, 19 percent
of ltltl‘ graders and 26 percent of
12th graders reponed using man'-
juana in tile past year — increases
of 2 to 4 percentage points from a
year earlier.

Eight percent of the eighth grad-
ers. l~‘- percent of 10th graders and
19 percent of the seniors said they
smoked cigarettes daily —— up by l
to 2 percentage points.

"With more young people smok-

 

ing cigarettes and using marijuana,
and with the psychological and so-
cial constraints on use declining,
the stage is set for a potential resur-
gence of cocaine and crack use in
this population," warned Lloyd
Johnston, the University of Michi—
gan researcher who directs the
study.

The findings provoked an outcry
from the Clinton administration.

“These findings are more than a
warning signal. They are an urgent
alarm we must heed at once,"
Health and Human Services Secre-
tary Donna Ii. Shalala said.

“Every new generation of young
people needs to hear the same clear
and unambiguous message: Drugs
are harmful. Drugs are deadly.
Drugs are illegal. Drugs will de-
stroy your life,“ she said in remarks
prepared for a news conference
with Education Secretary Richard
W. Riley and Lee P. Brown, direc-
tor of the Office of National Drug
Control Policy.

Shalala said she would appeal to
the presidents of television net—
works, movie studios. record com-
panies and spon leagues to intensi—
fy efforts to spread the anti-drug
message.

Riley said the Education Depan-
ment would boost spending on pro—
grams to “offer children alternatives
to the deadly lure of drugs."

The University of Michigan. un-
der contracts with the National In-
stitute on Drug Abuse. has surveyed
high school seniors annually since
1975 on their use of drugs, alcohol
and tobacco. In 1991 it began ques-
tioning eighth and 10th graders as
well.

Johnston said that in the past two
years, the proportion of eighth grad
crs using marijuana has increased
by half, and among the high school-
ers by one-fifth or more.

“‘These rates are still well below
the peak levels reached in the late
’705, but they clearly represent a re-
versal of the declines we recorded
for more than a decade," he said.

Greek Foreign Minister Karolos Pa-
poulias this week in hopes of forg-
ing a joint approach.

Greece currently holds the presi-
dency of the European Union.

In a letter Friday to the UN. Se-
curity Council, Secretary-General
Boutros Boutros-Ghali said he had
instructed top UN. officials to
move “actively" with plans to open
the Tuzla airpon for relief supplies
and to relieve Canadian units at
Srebrenica with Dutch peacekeep-
ers.

“We’ve endorsed that repon,"
Secretary of State Warren Christo-
pher said yesterday. "That could
lead to the use of air power if
there‘s not an agreement."

The Clinton administration has
not shied away from threatening
the Serbs.

But it also has not made good on
Clinton‘s campaign pledge in 1992
to lift a ban on arms to Bosnian

Among other findings:

'Use of stimulants, LSD and in-

'Sixty—seven percent of eighth

-Fonneen percent of eighth grad-

Basketball museum to open in ’95

Project will ofler ‘virtually ’
everything for Big Blue fans

 

By Eric Mosolgo
Staff Writer

Imagine yourself posting up
against Jamal Mashbum.

How would you defend against a
fast break orchestrated by coach
Adolph Rupp's Fabulous Five team
of 1948? Could you stop Dan Issel
in a game of one-on-one?

Soon, you will get a chance to at-
tempt all of these as reality —- make
that vinual reality — is set to come
to the Lexington Civic Center's UK
Basketball Museum.

The l0,000 square-foot facility.
which will be located on the second
level of the Civic Center beside
Rupp Arena, will house three “vir-
tual courts." along with assorted
memorabilia collected throughout
UK's storied basketball past.

Jim LeMaster, president of the
museum board and a former Wild-
cat player. described interactive
museum, which is scheduled to
open in the fall of 1995. as state—of-
the-an.

 

“You will be able to choose one
of your favorite former players and
then play a game against that
player,“ LeMaster said yesterday,
during a press conference announc-
ing the museum.

“You can push a button and
watch while Cawood Ledford calls
an exciting play: then you push a
button and call the same play; push
another button and hear yourself
call the play.“

The project got a boost from the
local government, which owns the
building and will offer the space for
the museum free of charge for the
next 10 years.

“We believe in this museum,"
Lexington Mayor Pam Miller said.
“We believe it will be a shot in the
arm for downtown retailers."

The concept has been around for
years, Miller said. She credited for-
mer Lexington Mayor Scotty Baes-
ler with reviving the idea when he
formed a committee in l99l to

Christina Jansen ran up and down
the Memorial Coliseum court, ex-
hibiting her oppressive defensive
prowess on one end, while orches-
trating her team’s offensive attack
at the other.

She chased loose balls and com-
municated instructions to the team-
mates who surrounded her on the
floor, her compact five-foot, five-
inch frame exploding with intensi-
ty.

Jansen‘s efforts on this night
helped lead the UK women‘s bas-
ketball team to yet another victory,
an 81-79 defeat of Southeastem
conference rival Mississippi State.

But it isn't just nail-biting league
competition that spurs the Lady
Kats’ firey point guard to such
heights. J ansen's determined dispo-
sition seems to exude no matter
what the circumstances.

So it has gone this season, her
second in a Wildcat uniform.

Any obstacle that could stifle a
relatively inexperienced player pre-
paring to take control of a squad
that annually faces the nation’s
most formidable opponents seems
to have found its way into Jansen
path this season. Despite the hur-
dles that have cluttered her way. the
Louisville native and Mercy Acade-
my graduate has prevailed, nearly
unaffected.

To begin the season, Jansen was
sidelined with a painful ankle injury
that ultimately eliminated her from
participation in three Lady Kat con-

~Caution: Do not attempt the fol-
lowing schedule unless your team is
ranked in the Top 10 or your athlet-
ic director is just crazy.

After Wednesday night's duel
with Alabama in Rupp Arena, the
Wildcats face Massachusetts in the
Meadowlands and Arkansas in
Rupp, then road games at Syracuse,
Louisiana State, Vanderbilt and
Tennessee.

oTennessee basketball fans appar-
ently have adopted a “don't watch,
don't attend" policy with regard to
Volunteer basketball. UT, sporting
a pitiful 3-13 record, took mighty
Arkansas to the wire before losing
65-64. That‘s the good news for
Volunteer coach Wade Houston.

The bad news for Houston is that
only 9,500 bothered to show up for
the game. leaving open the thought
of Knoxville’s Thompson-Bowling
Arena being tinted more a shade of
blue than orange when the Wildcats
and Volunteers tangle Feb. 23.

Georgia Tech continues to defy
logic, losing this weekend to a very
average Florida State squad (on
Heisman Trophy winner Charlie
Ward's driving layup in the final
seconds).

When teams possessing athletes

tests. And. as if sitting on the bench
was not devastating enough, her re-
turn to the court served up a even
more brutal blow — a broken nose
that would require a protective
mask in future competitions.

Still, Jansen characteristically
shrugged off both injuries. She did
admit, however, that watching her
teammates from the sidelines
wasn'teasy.

“Its really hard to sit on the
bench. It's just hard to sit there and
know that you can't do anything,"
she said.

But injuries have been only a
small portion of what Jansen has
overcome since the end of her
freshman year.

When she began the 1993-94
campaign, Jansen wasn't used to
starting in a collegiate program,
much less running the team on the
court.

In her inaugural season at UK.
she was the first guard off the
bench in Coach Sharon Fanning's
substitution system, producing rela-
tively unimpressive numbers of 3.3
points a night while logging just
over 14 minutes.

It wasn’t until the off-season that
she began to make a significant im-
pact on the Lady Kats program, re-
fining her game and ultimately
earning a starting spot in the UK
backcourt.

“Christina had an excellent off-
season," Fanning said. “She has
gained strength and developed a
much-improved shooting touch.
She has all the attributes to be an
outstanding collegiate point guard.

“At this point. she distributes the

the caliber of James Forrest and
Travis Best sport 11-7 records,
something is wrong.

This season of chutes and ladders
for the Yellow Jackets has seen the
team topple national powers like
North Carolina and Temple, only to
lose to also-rans like North Caroli-
na State.

-Speaking of Ward, when the
sport is basketball, does the word
overrated come to mind?

'Michael who? Minus the game's
greatest player, the Chicago Bulls

the ability to get us into whatever
offensive play is called."

But no matter what she accom-
plished in summer practice sessions
amid her teammates‘ encourage-
ment, nothing had been proven in
the hot glare of an opposing team's
gymnasium or facing the nation's
most talented collegiate point
guards. Until this season, that is.

Despite the rocky beginning, Jan-
sen has raised her scoring average
to 6.4 points per game this year —
not exactly eye-popping numbers
by any means, but not bad for a
player who prides herself on defen-
sive fundamentals.

“I love defense," Jansen said of
her on-court mindset. “I feel that if
I play really good defense, then my
offense will come. I‘ve never really
been an offensive threat, but I'm
working on that and I'm trying to
make that a part of my game.”

Jansen's defense, which routinely
poses problems for players around
the SEC, cenainly has had a major
hand in the Cats‘ holding on to a
winning record of 10-8, more than
halfway through their demanding, if
not impossible, schedule.

So, with her health back to top
form and a determined attitude that
is fueled with confidence from all
she has battled through. Jansen fi-
nally seems prepared to help take
the Lady Kats to a level they have
not reached the past several sea-
sons.

“I feel that if the Lady Kats work
together," she said, “anything is
possible."

“The Summer House"
Samuel Goldwyn Pictures

 

By Nina Davidson
Arts Editor

 

“The Summer House" delicately explores the senti-
mentality of marriage with a wry. gentle tone.

The film focuses on an unhappy bn'de-to-be, Marga-
ret (Lena Headey), who is marrying a foppish
older man to escape the aftershocks of a broken
heart. I

The film tells Margaret's story in a series of I
flashbacks. I

As she indifferently prepares for her wed-
ding, she remembers a six-month vacation in
Egypt where she naively fell in love with her I
hostess‘ son.

Margaret’s return to her staid suburb of Lon-
don, Croydon. leaves her listless until her moth-
er’s old friend, Lili (Jeanne Moreau), visits.

Lili‘s earthy wisdom and unconventional
manners shake up Croydon’s conventions and rouse
Margaret from her apathy.

Lena Headey plays Margaret with quiet luminosity,
but her character is not given much room to develop.
Besides moping around her house in a perpetual state
of lovesickness, Margaret does not have much to do.

Headey has mastered a look of ethereal unhappiness.
but Margaret's personality is left unexplored.

Margaret displays an interest in joining a nunnery,

 
 
  
 

.- ow‘v-.. ,

leaves the church in disgust.

The real savior of the film is veteran French actress
Moreau, who lights up the screen with her vivacious
performance of Lili.

Lili breezes through the lives of the other characters
like a fresh summer wind. With equal splashes of wit
and whiskey, she transfuses hope into their drab exis-
tences.

“The Summer House" does not rely on stereotypical
depictions of aging women as cheerful grandmothers
baking endless batches of chocolate chip cookies. In-
stead, it takes a refreshing look at the realities of old
age.

Lili is still vigorously alive despite her aging
I body. but Maragaret's future mother-in-law.
Mrs. Monro. is looking forward to the end of
her life. She is weary of her daily obligations
' and her selfish son.
I Joan Plowright turns in a pithy performance
I as Mrs. Monro. She subtly expresses her char-
acter‘s dissatisfaction without losing any of the
bite of despair.
Mrs. Monro and Lili plot together to circum-
I vent Margaret‘s upcoming marriage. Their solu-

I FIJI IMEI tion is creatively shocking and builds up to an

extremely unexpected ending.

“The Summer House“ is a rare film that keeps a
whimsical sense of humor while depicting serious top-

“Lady In The Front Row" opens

of amplifier buzz. Brothers (and
founders) Jeffrey and Steven
McDonald, who wrote or co-wrote
all but one of the songs on Phase-
shifter, have a fine grasp of pop es-
sentials and can write pretty good
lyrics.

My favorite line is “It's OK to be
stupid if everybody else is!” from
“Ms. Lady Evans" — it's a declara-
tion of purpose if I ever heard one.

Jeffrey can even sing, too, which
is nice; a lot of punk bands neglect
to choose a vocalist who can carry a
tune.

Adams ’ treatment
of convicted rapist

 

; totally intolerable

EDITORIAL

 

Students here are a transient group.

Most come from places outside Fayette County, and many leave
once their tenures at the University are finished. The result is
20,000 extra “citizens" of Lexington who are not inclined to take
part in the local political process.

But we also know how to pick our causes and judging from the
largely UK crowd that gathered Saturday in front of The Fayette
County Court House to protest the sentencing of a convicted rap-
ist, UK students and employees have made the court of Judge John
Adams a cause that demands attention

Citizens of Fayette County, both temporary and permanent, have
every reason to be outraged at Judge Adams’ behavior and the ab—
surdly lenient sentence — six months’ probation — he recently
handed down to a convicted rapist.

No matter that the perpetrator broke into his ex-girlfriend's
apartment and raped her so brutally that surgery was necessary.

His good reputation (after all, he's never been convicted of rap-
ing anyone else) apparently was a mitigating factor.

The judge’s decision also was apparent
