New AIDS cases surge in ’93

Expanded definition responsible for increase

 

By A.J. Hostetlsr
Associated Press

 

AThANTA — The number of
new AIDS cases unexpectedly more
than doubled last year under a
broader definition of the disease
andboostedbyasharpincreasein
the number of infections among
heterosexuals.

The federal Centers for Disease
Control had projected 1993 AIDS
cases would jump 75 percent in the
first year of the new definition.

It actually increased by 111 per-
cent, from 49,016 in 1992 to
103,500 in 1993, the agency report-
ed yesterday.

Last year, the CDC expanded its

definition to include those infected
with HIV who also have a severely
suppressed immune system, tuber-
culosis, recurrent pneumonia or in-
vasive cervical cancer.

Most of the AIDS cases under the
new definition were reported in the
first three months of the year.

The surge had dropped off by the
end of 1993. and the CDC expects
the number in 1994 cases to drop
below last year’s figure.

The groups most affected by the
expanded definition were women,
blacks, heterosexual intravenous
drug users and hemophiliacs.

The increase was greater among
women (15] percent) than among
men (105 percent). and greater

among blacks and Hispanics than
whites.

The largest increases reported
were among teens and young
adults, mostly from heterosexual
transmission.

“This is Where the growth of the
epidemic is," said Dr. John Ward.
chief of the CDC’s AIDS surveil-
lance branch.

Although the epidemic overall
still mostly infects gay men, hetero-
sexuals represented the largest pro-
portionate increase in 1993, said Pat
Flemming, chief of reporting and
analysis in the CDC's AIDS divi-
sion.

AIDS cases resulting from heter-
osexual contact jumped 130 percent

not all fun and games

 

C—A-T-S! This cheer usually can
be heard in Rupp Arena as the
Wildcats dismantle another foe.
Shortly after the opposing coach
calls a timeout, the television carne-
ras turn their focus to a massive
group of frenzied college students
in section 34.

The large group of students with
the “K" sweatshirts erupt harmoni-
ously with the C-A-T-S cheer. This
enthusiasm is generated by the Stu-
dent Athletics Council.

“We had great support from the
SAC and they really helped us in
our important matches this year,"
said UK Women's Volleyball coach
Fran Ralston-Flory. “Other schools
have the same idea of this type of
club, but it lacks the enthusiasm of
UK’s students.”

Josh Jaggers, a chemical engi-
neering senior, is the president of
the club. He said the purpose of the
club is to have a moderate student
showing at non-revenue sports.

The UK Athletics Department
provides all funding for the organi-
zation, and reserves seats for the
club members.

The club is open to all UK stu-
dents, and there is a small registra-
tion fee which covers the cost of the
club T-shirt and sweatshirt

The next question you might be

asking is how do the members get
those special seats at all the games?

Club members must attend a cer-
tain number of events a month, de-
pending on the numbers of sched-
uled events based on the number of
school days. Members choose their
own events and, in order to remain
in good standing, the students work
in retum. This often means arriving
at games two to three hours early
for football and an hour and a half
for basketball.

For example, at football games
the members fill Commonwealth
Stadium with various UK parapher-
nalia. Before the cherished basket-
ball games, the SAC is responsible

Rupp Arena with thousands of “3"

the club sometimes gathers and en-
joys pizza and soft drinks.

Freshman Chris Kemper ex-
pressed his feelings conceming the
SAC, “As a freshman. it‘s not only
a great way to get involved with
University athletics, it's also a great
way to meet people."

Another unique aspect of the
SAC is that it provides its members
with transportation to certain away
games, like the UK-Indiana football
game.

Staff report

A UK student has tried a suit
against UK because of injuries
she said she received am. a chair
she was sitting in collapsed dur-
ing class.

Monica Stevens, an education
junior, filed with the state Board
of Claims last March, saying the
chair she was using in the White
Hall Classroom Building col-
lapsed while she was in class on
Feb. 23 last year.

Stevens claims in the suit that
she was “severely and penna-
nently injured" when the chair
collapsed which caused her to
fall. hither head and face and in-
jure her neck.

 

 

Student suing University
over incident in classroom

The suit asks UK for $100,000
to cover medical bills, punitive
damages and “all other orders
and relief to which plaintiff may
appear entitled." A suit has also
been filed against the company
that manufactured the chair.

The claim states that UK
failed to provide safe seating by
not properly maintaining or in-
specting the chair.

It added that UK used the
chair “beyond its useful life" and
that officials should have known
that other chairs were failing as
well.

Neither Stevens nor her attor-
ney could be reached for com-
ment on the suit, and UK legal
counsel would not comment.

The Detroit rock-a-biily band Goober and the Peas will be serving up its healthily revved up fare
of energetic songs at Lynagh's on March 19. Opening for the Peas will be the Prayers.

Lexington music scene
sunny for spring break

With the number of major acts
that already have visited the area,
March has proved to be coming in
like the proverbial lion, as far as the
concert scene is concerned. As the
month continues, the roar of the
music scene in Lexington its sur-
rounding towns only gets louder.

On Wednesday, the straight
ahead sounds of Columbus, Ohio’s
The Rob Wallet Band will take
front stage at Lynagh’s.

This trio has been attracting a lot
of attention for the creative and
non-excessive tunes it has managed
to pack onto its first CD, The Amaz-
ing Origin Issue.

Melding the influences of such
artists as Rush, Hendrix and Stevie
Ray Vaughn, The Rob Wallet Band
has mashed such elements as reg-
gae, jazz, blues, funk, rock and
even Latino music into a sound that
has gained it quite a following in
Ohio. Indiana. Pennsylvania and
northern Kentucky. The band also
will be at Cheapside Bar & Grill on
March 18 and 19.

The cowboy hats will be out in full
force when Lexington is blessed by
the revved up rock-a-billy jams of
Goober and the Peas, who will be at
Lynagh's on March 19. supporting
their latest, The Complete Works of
Goober and the Peas.

Rolling out of Detroit, Goober
will be raising a ruckus as his ever
lovin' Peas celebrate women. cold

beer. turkey sandwiches and good
ol‘ grandpa through the art of song.
Their live shows are rumored to be
amazing, especially if you are a fan
of straw.

Opening for Goober will be Lex-
ington‘s The Prayers.

Rostulara, another local outfit
that has been riding high on the
success of its latest single, “Maybe
She's Gone." will perform twice
next week. The band will be at JDl
on March 18 and at the New Mom-
ing Coffee House on March 19.
Rostulara will be playing later this
month with an excellent acoustic
band, the Floating Men, at Ly-
nagh's.

The biggest show in town, how-
ever, will be the Concussion En-
semble show, sponsored by UK's
very own WRFL-FM (88.1), on
March 24 at the Wrocklage.

For those of you uninitiated with
Concussion Ensemble. this is a
show that really needs to be
checked out. Developing an un-
common musical attack based on
four drummers, two guitarists and a

CD Stampede has attracted a lot of
attention and has received consider-
able airplay throughout the country.

Besides that, any band that has
earned the description as sounding
similar to “a hundred marching
bands on acid plowing their way
through a fender testing factory“
should be witnessed live. Opening
for Concussion Ensemble will be
the Lillypons.

There are several other major
gigs that may be worth the drive for
those of you up for a little traveling.
Among these are the Cocteau
Twins, who will bring their ethereal
melodies and harmonies to Bogart’s
in Cincinnati on March 21. Blend-
ing beautifully layered vocals with
a bit of a funk influence. their latest
full-length, Four-Calendar Cafe, is
considered the best since their sign-
ing in 1981.

Also, plaid shirt junkies will
crawl out of the woodwork on
March 24 for a concert that does
not need any plugging. Eddie Ved-
der and his cronies in Pearl Jam
will be sweating and jumping
around aimlessly as they perform
material from both of their zillion

Ensemble draws on
dance pioneer’s work

 

By John Dyer Fort
Senior Stall Writer

 

Like Picasso and painting,
Joyce and the novel. Martha Gra-
ham is considered a 20th century
pioneer who revolutionized
dance.

Rejecting the 600-year-old
courtly tradition of ballet. with its
hard slippers, tight corsets and
myriad other stifling constric-
tions, Graham
created her own
style of modern
dance. She is
considered the
' greatest Ameri-
.-. ' can choreogra-
.. pher.

-' Founded by
A the dance diva,

- the Martha Gra-
Ilm 81M! ham School for
Contemporary Dance in New
York City preserves the style of
dance and technique created by
the choreographer. Every year,
the Martha Graham Ensemble.
made up of 12 young and up’
and-coming members of the
school, tours the country. per-
forming Graham‘s original
works.

Raised in California, Graham
was highly influenced by Orien-
tal dance and art. Like Asian
dance, Graham shifted movement
to the center of the body and re-
jected the rigid European forms
made up of straight legs, pointed
toes and quiet hips. For the first
time in Western theaters, the
physical efl'on of dance was al-
lowed to shine through and
movement was punctuated by a
very American percussive quali-
ty.

Also like Asian dance, Graham
brought the dancer back to con-
scious realization of the ground,
permitting the dancers to squat,
kneel, rise and fall.

Graham made the act of
breathing an integrated dramatic
form of expression. The dancers
could now pant and sweat with
the very effort of their move-
ments. She invented many beau-
tiful falls (and recoveries) to the
ground, as well as turns with the

   

 

 

 

body axis at an angle to the floor.

In addition to transforming the
nature of dance itself, Graham
made innovations in dance cos-
tume, introducing tights, leotards
and long, close-fitting dresses, and
radically altered elements of scenic
design and stage lighting.

What is more remarkable, she
cormnissioned works by several
musicians very early in their ca-
reers, who went on to become irn-
portant composers, including Aaron
Copeland. Samuel Butler and Paul
Hindeman.

Among the many original works
choreographed by Graham, the En-
semble will perform “Acts of
Light” (1981), a celebration of surn-

allegory of the passion of
Christ, the temptation of the ap-

Ole Miss trailed by only six at
halftime after making 65 percent

22 percent in the second half and
committed 23 turnovers to pre-

“In the second half, we did a

coach Eddie Fogler.

David Dean had nine points at

anybody for four years," he said.

Brown

turns philosophical

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Dale
Brown stepped into the interview
room at the Pyramid holding a book
which. as he put it, “helps me get
through things like this."

Brown read the quotation from
his book that he thought was impor‘
tant.

“Think before you speak,“ he
read with a slightly quivering voice.
“You’ll never regret your words.
The spoken word cannot be taken
back."

After his LSU Tigers lost to
Georgia 83-70 in the first round of
the Southeastern Conference touma-
ment, Brown was distraught and un-
usually teary-eyed about the events
of the game.

“I have never felt so bad about
letting a team down," Brown said in
a cracking voice.

At the 7:30 mark of the first half,
Brown was tossed from the game
after receiving a second technical
foul. His violation? It was probably
something he said.

At any rate. Brown was clearly
ashamed of his on-court antics.

“I wanted to be with them be-
cause they were so damn gal-
lant." he said. He paused, trying
to hold back the tears. “I told
them after the game, we are
judged by Gucci purses and gold
medals. That is not right."

In a quite un-Brown-like state-
ment, the LSU coach spoke in a
humble, gentlemanly manner
when asked about the technical
fouls.

“I will speak with a prudent
tongue,“ he said. “If 1 have any
complaints, I will not make them
public." Brown thought about his
last statement and, remembering
his past history, quickly quipped.

“Is there a mirror around
here?“ he said. “I’m not sure this
is me talking."

At that point, the Brown of old
was back. He proceeded to re-
veal who came to visit him in the
locker room.

“Raquel Welch would have
come, but she didn’t have a me-
dia pass.“

That broke the emotional ten-
sion that was lingering in the
room. Brown then took it a step
further.

“Elvis did show tip.“

Gym Cats hope
to catapult way
into nationals

 

By Stephen Trtmble
Assistant News Editor

 

Don‘t consider the win-loss
records tonight when the 13th-
ranked Gym Cats take on William
and Mary College and lSth-ranked
Auburn at Memorial Coliseum.

Records don't seem to matter
much in the gymnastics world, as
evidenced by the Cats' campaign
(1-1 1) compared with lower-ranked
Aubum‘s (5-10) performance this
season.

“We’re doing what we need to he
doing," said UK head coach Leah
Little.

“Our win-loss record means
nothing,“ she said. “We could lose
every single meet and still be the
national champion. This is some-
thing the media and the fans don‘t
understand that much."

The Cats have played a brutal
schedule, with nearly all the oppo-
nents ranked in the Top 25 this
year. Yet the team has been consis-
tent and that is why Little said her
team is now ahead of Aubum. who
beat UK at the Cat Classic in Mis-
souri last month.

“We‘ve risen from literally obliv-
ion to 13th ranked this year." she

Tonight is Senior Night, the last
home meet for five senior Cats:
Gina Hatterick, Carrie Culp, Tara
Kahle, Franci Niles and Suzanne
Gutierrez.

Little hopes to capitalize on the
occasion, seeking top performances
from the group. “We‘re expecting
this to be our best meet," she said.

And so it must be as Little focus-
es her team on the upcoming na-
tional tournament April 21-23 in
Salt Lake City, Utah. The South-
eastern Conference fmals are set for
March 25, and the regional final is
April 9.

The top 12 teams in the country
advance to the national tournament.
With the Cats‘ current ranking, they
are just one notch beneath the cut.

“It‘s going to be close," UK
sophomore Jenny Hansen said.
“Hopefully, we'll do our best."

Hansen, who is rartked first na-
tionally in the vault, has almost
locked a bid for the national tour-
ney. Little said.

Last year. Hansen won the all-
around NCAA championship with a
39.50 score.
