ones calls for new process to select t

By LYNNE CARMODY
Contributing Writer

Saying that old political ploys fre-
quently “get in the way” of progres-
sive ideas, Lt. Gov. Brereton Jones
yesterday proposed a new system
for choosing trustees for state uni-
versities.

Speaking to the Lexington Rotary
Club, Jones said the present system
allows a governor to appoint a trus-
tee based on how much money he

or she raises for the gubematorial
campaign or how many votes he or
she delivers.

His goal is to develop a system
that would eliminate any suspicions
of possible improprieties taking
place.

Jones said he is working with the
legislative leadership in the General
Assembly and with state educational
leaders in an effort to construct an
educational council. According to a
spokesperson from Jones’ office,

members of the council would be
chosen from statewide groups such
as the Pritchard Committee and The
Kentucky Chamber of Commerce.
The council’s sole responsibility
would be to choose three people to
recommend for any trustee vacancy
at state universities. The council
would interview the candidates and
pick honest, qualified people in an
attempt to, as Jones said, choose a
trustee who wants to make a major
contribution to education.

“Then we can give these three
names to the sitting governor and
say ‘Now, governor, you have the
choice,’ " Jones said.

Jones said that he thinks higher
education is fundamentally impor-
tant to all education and that a coun-
cil of this sort would have far-
reaching effects on Kentucky’s edu-
cational reform efforts.

Although the recent UK presiden-
tial search was marred by accusa-
tions that Gov. Wallace Wilkinson

i}; a v'

had packed the UK Board of Trus-
tees with supporters he expected to
vote for his choice as the next presi-
dent, Jones said his proposal is not
meant as a criticism of UK or the
search.

“I would encourage everyone to
get behind Dr. Charles Wethington
as the president of UK because he is
our president and it's our universi-
ty," Jones said.

He said he thinks action is neces-
sary now to help create a better edu—

rustees

cational future. A sound higher edu—
cation system would generate eco-
nomic devclopment with more jobs,
in turn generating a greater tax base
— an increase which would fund
more educational programs.

Jones said his trustee selection
proposal could make a substantial
contribution to education at no cost
to taxpayers.

West angered by Iraqi
threat to kill diplomats

By LAURA KING
Associated Press

Western governments reacted with out-
rage yesterday to Iraq's threat to execute
diplomats who shelter foreigners, but Bagh-
dad sought to portray it as a misunderstand—
ing, saying the warning was aimed at its
own citizens.

Eight weeks to the day after Iraq overran
Kuwait, its exiled emir addressed the United
Nations General Assembly, decrying the
“rape, destruction and terror“ inflicted by
Saddam Hussein‘s armies and appealing for
a withdrawal of Iraqi troops.

But Iraq tightened its grip on the con-
quered emirate. ordering Kuwaiti nationals
to apply for Iraqi citizenship.

Oil prices rose again yesterday. briefly

breaking the S40-a-barrel mark, a day after
President Bush ordered the sale of a fraction
of the oil from the US. Strategic Petroleum
Reserve to try to dampen soaring prices.
High oil prices helped drive down stocks
again. with the Dow Jones industrial aver-
age closing off 32.17 points at 2,427.48.

lntemational finance officials, meanwhile.
expressed new concerns about long-term fi-
nancial consequences of the Persian Gulf
crisis. The head of the World Bank said he
might be forced to call on wealthy nations to
boost their support for the lending institu-
tion by early next year.

Britain, in a surprise move. announced the
restoration of diplomatic ties with Iran.

Candidate threatens
lawsuit over UK forest

By GREGORY A. HALL
Senior Staff Writer

U. 5. Congressional candidate Will T.
Scott yesterday threatened that a lawsuit
may be filed to remove UK as trustee of
Robinson Forest, claiming the school im-
properly devclopcd it and is putting 1,900
jobs in jeapordy.

UK. which was given the forest in separ-
ate conveyances more than 50 years ago
from the E0. Robinson Trust. says the for-
est is essential to its forestry research.

But Scott, a republican running against
incumbent Democrat Chris Perkins for 7th
district congressman. said UK is not fulfill»
ing its obligations of the trust and that the
jobs which would be provided by mining in
areas around the forest are more important
than UK‘s current research.

”I ask (UK) to cooperate with the
1,900 families that want to keep theirjobs.’~
Scott said in a statement from a news con-
ference in Jackson. “But if you don't. I per-
sonally promise that the people of eastern
Kentucky will file suit to replace you as
trustee “

Scott spoke to about 40 people on the
steps of the Breathitt County courthouse.
He said LTK‘s research is not directly aiding
eastern Kentucky as mandated by the trust.

UK spokesman Bernie Vonderheide said
in a statement that UK regrets Scott is ques-
tioning the University's commitment to
Eastern Kentucky in the political campaign.

“We stand on our long record of service
over the years to this region and promise no
less in the f uture," Vonderheide said.

The forest consists of seven land tracts to-
talling 14,800 acres of land in Knox. Brea-
thitt and Perry counties.

Scott supported Arch Mineral, Co‘s re-
quest to mine tracts adjacent to the f‘orest‘s
main tract. which the Iuniversity has op-
posed. Hc asked UK to "compromise and
work with" the St. Louis—based mining cor-
poration, and that if they did not, a suit
would be filed.

He did not specify who would file the suit
or when it would be filed.

UK says mining on Arch’s adjacent tracts
of land would damage the nearly pure (‘lem—
ons Fork watershed. which runs into the for-
est.

Scott said Arch’s mining would not de—
stroy the watershed. citing Arch’s plan to di-
vcrt the mining waste into an already pollut»
ed stream.

Arch’s permit to mine the outlying tracts
is currently under consideration by the. state
Natural Resources and Environmental Pro—
tection Cabinet.

Jeff Speaks. a spokesman for Scott, said
the candidate had been in contact with Arch,
but not with UK.

“Will just didn’t feel that it would be use—
ful. going on their past actions. Speaks
said.

UK and Arch have failed to negotiate a
settlement dC‘x’plIc‘ the exchange of facts and
proposals betas ccn them.

The ['nivcrsity offered to trade tracts of
land outside the frircst‘s main body for the
land Lidlltt‘t‘nl to the forest to which Arch
owns the mineral rights.

Arch has rsjcctcd that proposal. saying
the taluc of cconorriically recoverable coal
in the outlying tracts is not comparable to
the coal of the adjacent land. Recent negoti-
ations hate ccntcred in the value of the coal
offered in the tradc.

The UK Board of T rusiees this month au-
thorircd IfK legal counsel to offer the outly-
ing tracts of Lind to othr-r mining compa~
lllCS.

Arch says it has irotidcd the figures re-
quested hy lfK tn negotiations. Arch

Kennedy avoids controversy

By KIP BOWMAR
Senior Staff Writer

US. Supreme Court
Justice Anthony Kenne-
dy spoke at UK last night
on topics ranging from
political change in socie-
ty to recent Court cases,
but did not mention the
pending confirmation of
Dthd Soutcr its the
Court‘s newestjusticc.

Kennedy chose instead to single out two
cases recently ruled on by the Supreme
Court as part of his speech “Modern Dc-
mocracics and the Spirit of the Constitu-
tion."

KENNEDY

 

Speech focuses on
change, not Souter

 

The speech, which came before zipmei-
matcly 1,000 people at the Otis A. Single-
tary Center for the Arts, was this \car\-
Judge Mac Swmford Lecture on Law.

The first case. Austin v. Michigan. dealt
with a Michigan law making it a crime for it
non-profit corporation to take out an ad dur-
ing a political campaign. Kennedy assailed
the Supreme (‘ourt decision upholding the
law.

“The Court sustained the statute that has a
tragic misconception of the role the private
sphere tnust have in our society." he said.

Freshman council aims
to get students involved

By JENNYE STIEGELMEYER
Contributing Writer

Jimmy Richardson was more than a little
surprised after attending the first meeting of
this year‘s Freshman Representative Coun-
cil last week.

The l8~ycar-old sophomore from Eliza-
bethtown. Ky -— who as a freshman served
on the council - noted a distinct and vocal
difference in the 1989 and I990 versions of
the FRC.

Richardson said at his own first meeting
he felt a little overwhelmed and he expected
this year‘s group to be tentative as well. But
he said freshmen “were already throwing
out ideas" after their first meeting.

“I was happy that was already taking
place." he added.

Staffed by a core of 25 freshman under
the gurdancc of cochairpersons Richardson
and Maggie Bittman. FRC is the Student
Government Association executive branch
committee that links freshmen and the
SGA.

FRC works on various SGA projects to
benefit freshmen, such as its guidebook ti-

tled “Makin‘ It." which ildVlSL‘\ freshmen on
topics including the UK fight song and life
with a roommate.

The committee also regulates recycling
programs at freshmen reSidcncc halls .iiid
plays a large role in planning Excelsior,
UK’s annual homecoming dance.

But FRC is concerned with more than til-
rcady-installcd programs. It also considers
any innovative student tdetts to promote
freshman involvement.

Both Bittman and Richardson strongly
urge any students with suggestions or com-
ments to come to the SGA office in Room
120. Student Center. Although the meeting
times have not yet been established, more
information can be obtained through the
SGA office at 257-3191.

Although the number of freshmen inter-
ested in the PRC exceeds the number of
spots available. students may sign up for
committee positions, said Jill Cranston. a
FRC member.

Of the 225 applicants this year 25 fresh-
men were selected through two sets of inter-

Cartoon composer finally gets deserved respect

By MCK JEFFRIES
Contributing Critic

THE CARL STALLING PRO
JECT

Carl Stalling

Warner Brothers Records

The name Carl Stalling may not
ring a bell with some folks, but
there are few who have not heard
his music.

As the mastermind tunesmith be-
hind Warner Brothers’ most-revered
Merrie Melodies cartoons, Stalling
should be a permanent fixture in
American soundtrack history. He all
but invented the scoring technique
used to mimic on-screen action,
called appropriately “mickey-
mousing." Despite this, his work has
been ignored in most circles.

What’s up, doc?

That oversight was corrected by
the efforts of cutting-edgers John
Zorn and Hal Willner. Overdue by
about 40 years, The Carl Stalling
Project chronicles a career marked
literally with the screeches, boings,
and ker-powwws! of a great cartoon
tradition forged by directors like
Fritz Freleng, Tex Avery and Chuck
Jones as well as voiceman Mel
Blane.

From the early ’305 until about
1958, it was Carl Stalling’s distinc-
tive orchestrations that gave aural
life to Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck,

Porky Pig, and the rest of the Merrie
Melodies crew.

Surprisingly. the ground-breaking
scores, which frequently echoed the
romanticism of Pyotor ll‘yich
Tchaikovsky, the
modem atonality of
Igor Stravinsky and it;
a good deal in be- . .,
tween, failed to gar- .r
ner much critical ac- ,‘
claim. His scores .1
were not even grant- '
ed copyright protec-
tion until the late
’40s.

Only in retrospect
have Stalling’s mut- .
ed trumpet voices,
violin glissandos
and prancing flutes
been acknowledged
for what they are:
Not just musical
“mickey-mousing,"
but radically literal
tone poetry, a re-
markably advanced predecessor to
modern film scoring techniques.

The Project's producer, Hal Will-
ner, started a kind of tribute album
mania which has yielded eclectic sa-
lutes to music like Disney movie
tunes, Kurt Weill stage numbers and
the jazz of Thelonius Monk. John
Zorn, a New York saxophonist]
composer, served as production con—
sultant for the Project. He made

skillfully assembled medleys of
“moments” from assorted cartoons.
These bright, breathtaking orches-
tral works are plenty adventurous

even without the intended images.
Also included are three full-length
cartoons complete with Merrie Mel-
odies fanfares (in various mutations)
and the ear-boggling sound effects
of Treg Brown.

Adding to the overall impact are
liberal spicings of dialogue snippets
and assorted sound effects. Opening
the record is Stalling, a notorious
perfectionist. commanding the War-
ner Brothers studio orchestra
through five takes of “Paddy-Tat
Trouble.” Elsewhere, the listener
hears vintage cartoon dialogue (‘...
and if you DON’T pay, we'll take
the FARMi") and familiar musical
themes. some original and others
outright appropriated.

Ultimately, The Carl Stalling Pro-
ject beckons listeners back into the
golden age of animation —— an era of
extraordinary animation, biting so-
cial commentary and uproan‘ous
slapstick humor. Some things come
across in no dubious terms, like the
factory clunks and whirrs of “Pow-
erhouse," while other areas conjure
memories of a vaguer variety.

 COURTESY OF THE KENTUCKY GUILD MARKETING

The Berea College Puppetry Caravan will pertorm two shows on Oct.
13 at the Kentucky Guild of Artists and Craftsmen Fall Fair. The
troupe is directed by Berea College Art prolessor Neil DiTeresa,
above right. All of their puppets are handmade.

Editor’s note: This story is being
reprinted due to an editor’s error.

The Kentucky Guild of Artists
and Craftsmen will hold its annual
fall fair at Indian Fort
Theater, three miles
east of Berea, during
the weekend of Oct.
12-14.

Sponsored partly by
a grant from the Ken-
tucky Ans Council, the
fair will feature 98 art-
ists ranging from doll-

makers to avame garde —

sculptors. The Kentucky Guild is a
statewide non-profit organization
for professional artists and crafts-
men. It was started as a “traditional
crafts" organization 30 years ago,
said Sara Holcomb, president of
Kentucky Guild Marketing.

Through the years, the organiza-
tion has made some changes that
will show during the fair.

“Now the guild includes some of
the leading contemporary artists as

well as jewelrymakers, people who
make handmade clothing things
that are really of interest i think to
the students here at UK and the fa-
culty as well," Holcomb said.

“The guild really tries to educate
people as to the process of the crafts
and why a handcrafted item is going
to be wonh a little
bit more than some-
thing that is ma-
chine-made.” she
said.

Although hand-
crafted items are
worth more, Hol~
comb said the items
will be within any-
one‘s budget, and
there will be some-
thing to interest people of all ages.

“(The fair) is definitely for chil-
dren as well as adults,” Holcomb
said.

Two puppet performances by the
Berea College Puppetry Caravan
will be shown at 1 pm. and 3 pm.
Oct. 13. The troupe is directed by
Berea College Art Professor Neil

Fall fair artists offer handmade crafts

made puppets. “It will be a spe-
cial show. Everyone I have talked to
is very excited about seeing it," Hol-
comb said.

Children also will have the oppor-
tunity to learn to make candles at a
project booth.

Traditional “low-key" music will
be performed by Homer Ledford,
Warren May and a duo called Man~
dela. All instruments are handcraft-
ed, including the fiddlcs and the dul-
Cimer.

Holcomb encouraged people in-
terested in hiking, seeing the area‘s
endangered species, and going to
the fair during the weekend to ar-
range reservations quickly because

accommodations at Berea hotels are
limited. She said hotel accommoda-
tions in Richmond. 12 miles from
Berea, may be easier to come by.

Food and beverages will be of-
fered at different booths. Aside from
the traditional hamburgers and
French fries, oriental food will be
sold by the owner of The Plum
Tree, a restaurant in Lexington’s
Civic Center.

The next fair will be in the spring
on May l7-l9.

Fair hours are 10 am. to 6 pm.
Free parking is available at Indian
Fort Theater. Admission is $3 for
adults and $1 for children 6-12.
Children under 6 are admitted free.

Spooky talent: UK frosh seeks identity

By BOBBY KING
Assistant Sports Editor

When a football player has a
name like Pookie, you wouldn’t
think he’d have to worry about
making a name for himself.

But that's just the ease with UK
freshman quarterback Robert “Foo—
kie" Jones.

Jones, who is redshirted this year.
has to be content as a practice
player this season — a difficult situa-
tion for a player who rushed and
passed for a combined total of more
than 1,000 yards as a senior at Cal~
loway County last year.

But Pookie is taking the wait in
stride. adjusting to the difficulties
of being a college student, and put-
ting his dreams on the back burner
— for the time being.

“I’m not used to sitting and
watching." he said. “You miss play-
ing but everybody has to go through
that. There are some that don’t. but
most of the freshmen have to go
through that.“

Even though he is a redshirt
player, Pookie can hardly be classi-
fied in the same category as “most
freshmen." During his senior year
in high school the superlatives
about his uncanny running and
passing skills came as frequently as
he left defenders in the dust.

With all the praise he garnered
during his senior season came recs
ognition. Aside from being selected
Kentucky‘s Mr. Football his senior
year. he was named to the Orlando
Sentinel‘s Dixie Dozen All-
Southern team. which is an accom-

think he can do whatever
he wants to do...

plishment in itself for a kid from a
small western Kentucky town.

But if anyone deserved such hon-
ors, it was Pookie. The statistics
alone were phenomenal. He rushed
for 1,005 yards and 11 touchdowns
during his senior year. And if that
wasn‘t enough to raise some scouts’
eyebrows, he threw for another
1,897 yards and 12 touchdowns.

However. there is more to this for-
mer high school superstar than a kid
waiting for his big chance in college.
This soft—spoken young man with
the funny nickname is not only
blessed with talent. but he has per-
spective _ a rarity for many over-
pampered college athletes these
days.

So many gifted players merely
bide their time in college until they
can make the jump to the profession-
al ranks and get the money that
comes with it But making the pros
is something Pookie sees as out of
his hands.

“That's a long way down the
road," he said “It‘s always a dream
in the back of my mind. It’s always
going to be there, but right now I’m
just trying to work on my fundamen-

“If I’m one of the lucky ones I'll
be happy —— real happy. But if not,
1‘ m going to concentrate on graduat-
ing with a degree so 1 can continue
in life. I guess you can really say
football is just something that's get~
ting me ready for the next stage.”

Pookie’s father, Robert Sr..
thinks his son has his priorities in
order.

“He keeps things in perspective,”
he said. “He's a competitor but he
realizes that there are other things
than football in life."

So why all the fuss over someone
who, as of yet, hasn‘t played a down
of college football? It's called sheer
athletic ability —~ special talent.

“As far as Pookie goes, I think he
can do whatever he wants to do,"
said Freddie Maggard. a UK quar-
terback. “Sometimes at practice I‘m
just in awe of him."

With all of his assets — his strong
arm and lighming-quick foot speed
— Pookie still needs to refine his
talents. That’s the main reason he
was redshirted.

“Sure, Pookie can run like the
wind. He can also throw, but he
needs to get his passing game down
so he can function better in our of-
fense," said UK quarterback coach
Darryl Dickey.

Tony Franklin, Pookie’s coach at
Calloway County, said he under-
stands why the player he watched
tear up the state in high school last
season has to wait to show his stuff.

“I think eventually he will be a
great college player," Franklin said.
“But it takes at least two years of tu-

toring sessions to learn the system.”

Pookie couldn’t be blamed for
struggling with the transition from
being a high school star and Mister
Football to the relative obscurity of
a college redshirt. But Pookie’s fa-
ther says his son is making the ad-
justment well.

“ .. After all of the accolades he
received in high school, he's adjust-
ing to being just another player.
That shows me that he has a lot of
poise and character,” the senior
Jones said. “If I could put it into one
word, I'd say he is being patient.
That’s what it is all about."

Patience is a quality that doesn’t
come easily for anyone, much less a
19-year-old. But Pookie said he re-
ceived some useful insight into the
life of a student-athlete from his old-
er brother Fred, currently a wide re-
ceiver at the University of Louis-
ville.

“He just told me straight out that
college was going to be a whole lot
harder than high school,” he said.
“That’s something I'm going to
have to deal with. But if I have to
have somebody to talk with I know
he’s only an hour away.”

“They pretty much have always
been close," Robert said. “But when
Fred got to college he told (Pookie)
about his experiences and that really
paid off. He told him what to look
for and expect.”

For now, he has to be content
with watching the game he was born
to play. But years from now, if he
rewrites UK passing records, people
might remember Pookie Jones for
his abilities — not just his name.

Quarterback Pookie Jones refreshes himself at practice. Jones, a
redshirt freshman, is expected to lead the Cats' offense in the future.

Weber hopes course
will ‘bale’ team out

By TIM WIESENHAHN
Staff Writer

As UK cross country coach Don
Weber prepared for the Cats’ still-
young 1990 season, he said he ex-
pected his team to face many hur-
dles.

And it has.

Weber’s team has had to jump to
new levels of fitness, overcome
nagging injuries and rise above
mental hindrances in its quest for an
NCAA title.

But Weber never could have fore-
seen haybales as major obstacles in
the Cats’ bid for a title.

Yet as the UK men’s and wom-
en's cross country teams head to
Missoula, Montana this weekend to
compete in the first annual Moun-
tain West Cross Country Classic.
four haybales — along with various
other natural touches — lie between
them and victory.

“The course samples a bit of
cross country nostalgia," said Dick
Koontz, head cross country coach at
the University of Montana. “And it
should be very exciting."

Koontz said the inaugural invita-
tional is patterned after meets held
in Europe during the 19th century,
in which teams battled natural ele-
ments in c
