Idol Worship

Young trends

The Los Angeles Daily
News reported in August
on the recent fad among
little girls (girls ages 3
and 5 were identified in
the story) to erratically
cut big clumps of their
own hair off to emulate
Nulan, the animated-film
heroine who cuts off her
hair with a sword so she
can appear to be a man
and defend her family.

Having the
Braun

In Chicago in August,
Lauryn K. Valentine, Zl,
petitioned a court to
change her name to
“Carol Moseley-Braun,"
in tribute to the U.S.
senator who Valentine
said inspired her to fin-
ish high school after a
shaky start.

The senator said she
hoped Valentine would
change her mind.

Bad ideas

Star-crossed

In July, a juror in
Judge Esmond Faulks'
court in Newcastle upon
Tyne, England, eagerly
asked the judge for the
defendant's date of birth
so he could draw up a
star chart to help him
decide the case. He was
removed.

Fact vs.
fiction

In August, Wall Street
Journal reporter James
S. Hirsch, writing a story
on the Boston Globe's
recent troubles with
columnists making up
things, noted in his story
that The New York Times
(which owns the Globe)
had no comment on the
matter, a fact he later
admitted he made up. He
was later fired.

and watch some soap operas.

Soap-stained

Addicted to the drama: Be it ‘Days' or ‘General Hospital'
students just can't get enough of daytime soap operas

By Regina Prater

STA" VRIIER

Some UK students are still faithful to
the favorite soap opera they have
watched since childhood.

Business accounting freshman Keri
Robertson has been hooked on soap op-
eras since the fourth grade.

“Once. while I was on vacation I
watched one episode and I wanted to
watch the next episode and now I watch
all the time.“ Robertson said.

Robertson is now able to watch “The

Young and the Restless" about three
times a week.

When she missed episodes. she pur
chased Soap Opera Digest or read about
the plot summary in the newspaper.

Now when she misses an episode. she
calls her younger brother to catch up.

“My little. brother picked it up from
my sister and l." Robertson said. “If I
miss and I know something is going to
happen. I call him to find out what hap-
pened. then I call my sister to ﬁll her in."

Music mlucation and performance se-
nior Pariga Dravton watches four differ-
ent soap operas.

She started watching the soaps with
her mother when she was 7.

Drayton now watches her soaps near—
ly twice a week. If she misses an episode.
she checks out the plot on the Internet or
calls her mother for details.

"I watch for the drama." she said.
“Sometimes it‘s corny. but I love it."

Music performance sophomore Rhon-
da Childress has been watching “Days of
Our Lives" since she was 5.

Now she watches as often as she can.

“()ne semester I scheduled my classes
around it.“ (‘hildress said.

Research shows that the main rea-
sons viewers watch soap operas is to
identify with the characters. to have a

Professor
bringing
Appalachia
to forefront

EIIer named Whisman scholar;

will focus on distressed area

By Autumn Fousliee
CONTRIBUTING WRITER

More than half of UK's population is
native to the Appalachian states. yet there
is little appreciation and little knowledge of
Appalachian culture and
problems. said Ron Eller.
director of the UK Ap-
palachian Center.

Eller. who was recent-
ly named the third John D.
Whisman Scholar by the
Appalachian Regional
Commission. is bringing
Appalachia to L'K‘s atten»
tion.

The commission. a
partnership of 13 gover—
nors from the Appalachian area and policy
makers from Washington. works to im-
prove Appalachian life.

Eller will work with the commission to
focus on the most economically distressed
counties in Appalachia.

The commission‘s research shows that
Kentucky has the largest concentration of
severely distressed counties in the poverty-
stricken Appalachian area.

The most vivid example of this is in
Eastern Kentucky. where the commission
recognizes 49 Kentucky counties as dis-
tressed. while 39 of those are considered in
the most severe condition. Eller said.

Eller said he hopes to bring attention
those suffering counties.

To his research efforts. Eller said he
wants to draw attention to the value of pre»
serving Appalachian culture while improv
ing current economic conditions.

“I hope to bring to the ARC the impor.
tance of maintaining the value of local cul-
ture while changing the economic and liv-
ing conditions." he said.

As director of the Appalachian Center.
Eller has worked since 1988 to create civic
leadership programs in the struggling
counties in Eastern Kentucky.

These programs train individuals to
create community meetings where the citi-
zens can gather to discuss needed changes
and improvements to their area.

Two years ago. the center also helped de
velop the Community of Hope program.
which looks at the future needs of Ap-
palachian regions in Kentucky and helps to
achieve those goals through education and
community involvement.

Many issues exist in Appalachia con-
cerning strip mining. water quality and ad-
equate employment for people without the
necessary technical skills.

The solution to these problems lies in
education. Eller said.

No matter how many federal dollars
are pumped into the area. he said. nothing
will improve unless the civic capacity of
those communities is increased so that
those problems can be solved in a democra
tically effective manner.

“Communities that know how to Work
together, are the ones that have economic
success." Eller said.

As the ﬁrst of eight generations of Ap-
palachian families to go to college. Eller is
proud of his West Virginia heritage and
dedicated to giving back to the communi-
ties of the Appalachian states.

Eller plans to ﬁnish his latest book
about poverty and politics in Appalachia
since 1915.

Committee discusses impeachment

WASHINGTON ~ The House Judiciary
Committee clashed in historic debate Monday
over a Republican demand for an open-ended im»
peachment inquiry of President Clinton. The top
GOP lawyer cited “substantial and credible evi-
dence“ of 15 possible grounds for impeachment.

“Do we have a duty to look further. or to look
away?“ asked Rep. Henry Hyde. R-lll.. shortly af-
ter gaveling the committee to order in the same
cavernous room where Richard Nixon's fate was
debated a quarter-century ago.

A Democratic proposal to limit the probe was re-
jected on a party line vote.

ting stun belts to police who beat suspects with-
out cause, the 153- page report provides the
group' s ﬁrst comprehensive look at human
rights violations in the United States.

Amnesty International accuses the United
States of maintaining a double standard: criticiz-
ing other countries while not abiding by interna
tional treaties and principles of human rights it-
self. The United States. for example. has failed to
sign the U. N. Convention on the Rights of the
Child. which seeks to promote human rights for
children.

“When the US. house is not in order. it makes
it far harder for the U S. to take the kind of leader-
ship role in international human rights that many
of us in Amnesty would like to see it take.” says
William Schultz executive director of the Ameri-
can chapter of the London-based organization.

Amnesty. a longtime vocal opponent of capi-
tal punishment. admonished the United States for
its continued use of the death penalty. The coun-
try should move to abolish the system which is
“racist. arbitrary and unfair.“ the group said.

Albright to try again in Middle East

WASHINGTON ~ Secretary of State
Madeleine Albright headed to the Middle East on
Monday hoping to put together a deal for an Israeli
withdrawal on the West Bank that President Clin-
ton could announce at a summit in mid-October.

Four days have been set aside “ Oct. 15 to 18
-__ for Clinton to hold three-way talks with Israeli
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Pales-
tinian leader Yasser Arafat.

If Albright is unable to put the pieces togeth-
er v most importantly secure from Arafat new
guarantees to uproot terrorism — Clinton could
come up short in his bid to play peacemaker in
the Middle East as he successfully did in North-
ern Ireland.

“I don’t expect her to come back with all the
issues resolved," State Department spokesman
James P. Rubin said en route Monday.

Album not worth jack

Jackyl's new album Choice Cuts proves that
metal is not quite ready for a comeback

”MC.“

ASSISTANT DlAlOGUE EDlTOR

Once in a blue moon, 3 band
comes along that rocks your
brains out. Their heavy guitar
riffs and insane vocals drive you
into a metal-induced frenzy.

Jackyl is not that band.

In fact, Jackyl’s most recent
release, Choice Cuts, must be the
most disappointing, musically
deﬁcient album available on the
music market today.

One day, while listening to
100.5 The Fox in Louisville, I
heard the artist intro, “Hey,
hey! This is Jesse Dupree of
Jackyl ~ bigger than life and
twice as ugly! You’re rockin‘
with The Fox!"

Pretty catchy little slogan,
but the song that followed,
“Push Comes to Shove," was ab-
solutely the biggest waste of
two Les Pauls and a Tama
drum set I have ever heard.

That and 14 other pitiful

songs comprise Choice Cuts, a
release of Jackyl‘s greatest hits
since it formed in 1991.
Whoever deemed any of
Jackyl‘s songs a “hit" must ei-
ther be deaf as a post or was mis-
takenly listening to some other
band that could actually play
musical instruments.

local environment

Outdoorsmen flock to Haysi, Virginia to have
fun and show support for region's resources

WMVMH

CONTRIBUTING WRITER

“Listen to the river sing
sweet songs to rock my soul."

80 sang a band called Ap-
paljam, on stage to a gathering
of outdoors enthusiasts and mu-
sic fans at the Russell Fork Ren-
dezvous this weekend in Haysi,
Va.

Folks, gathered around a
ﬁre in front of the stage, nodded
in agreement when that line
was sung. After all, the Russell
Fork River brought them to a
Kiwanis fairground high in Ap-
palachia.

Twelve more bands were
scheduled to appear over the
weekend and a highly technical
wildwater race was held Satur~
day, but those were beneﬁts.

UK alumnus Brent Austin
ﬁrst came to this area a decade
ago on a rafting trip with some
friends. He began kayaking af-
ter meeting “a small, eclectic
group of boaters—river rats,"
who turned him onto the sport.

Austin organizes the festi~
val, which is presented by the
Bluegrass Wildwater Associa~
tion and is now in its fourth
year.
“My goal was to get people
in the area to develop recre-
ational opportunities that
would perhaps be protective of
the area," Austin said.

The Rendezvous brought
together people from Lake
Placid, NY. to Lexington. Pad-
dlers from as far as Idaho and
California came to test the wa-
ters that “makes the Upper
Gauley look like child's play,"
Austin said.

The Upper Gauley is one of
the most popular commercial
wildwater runs.

80 it’s no surprise many of

the paddlers came to enjoy the
river at their own pace rather
than participate in a free race
Saturday. But the race did
boast 26 boaters, paddling a va-
riety of wildwater boats.

The top three ﬁnishers rode
wavehoppers w long, stream-
lined racing boats designed for
fast runs.

The fourth place finisher.
Andy Bridge, raced in a closed
canoe, similar to a kayak except
the boater kneels and uses a
single blade paddle. Kayaking
uses an oar with paddles at
both ends and a sitting boater.

By night, the scene at the
rendezvous was comprised of
live bands on a spacious stage
complete with loud PA and
light show.

By day. the Russell Fork
Gorge lent itself to boaters. hik-
ers, mountain bikers and
climbers. A crowd had gathered
at “El Horrendo," a class-5+ sec-
tion of rapids. to watch the race.

“Nutrient pollution is a big
problem there," Austin said.
“Almost as big a problem as
sediment pollution, which
we've identiﬁed this year as our
No. 1 culprit affecting the area."

Pollution of the river comes
from a variety of sources. includ-
ing agricultural runoff. human
waste, and industry.

Jerry Elkins, president of
Headwaters. Inc., said “coal bed
methane and natural gas devel-
opment" contribute heavily to
sediment pollution in the Rus.
sell Fork area.

Elkins addressed festival
patrons shortly between sets
and cited the “power in num-
bers" that attendance brought
to tackling preservation prob—
lems in Russell Fork.

“Outdoor recreation holds
a promise of salvaging this
area.“ Austin said.

problems with Choice Cuts:

- The tracks sound like they
were recorded in a garage, or
maybe under an interstate
bridge, before they were mixed
on a Tyco cassette recorder.

- The drums and bass are so
weak, 1 actually got up from my
couch to make sure someone
had not befuddled my equalizer
or unplugged the bass module.
Seriously. the CD sound quality
hardly equals AM radio.

sion if it hit 'em in the face like
a Mack truck. Speaking of
Mack trucks, all the members
should've stuck to driving them
in the first place. To Jackyl,
knowing a scale would un-
doubtedly constitute over-edu-
cation.

“1 look at this album as a
re-familiarization with rock ‘n’
roll. What they've been calling
rock ‘n‘ roll for the past three or
four years has been weak. 'I‘en-
der is the word," said Jackyl’s
lead wannabe-singer Jesse
Dupree about the release.

Tender? Metallica, Korn,
Marilyn Manson. Alice in
Chains. STP Tool these
bands are tender? Quite the con-
trary. at least for many bands
today.

Jackyl is just jealous, be-
cause the days when being a
redneck and unbuttoning your
flannel shirt to your chest are
long gone. Also gone with are
the bands that call themselves
“rock" and hide behind a loud-
mouth frontman that can‘t sing.

And those tender bands to-
day. we call that music.

Oprah gets into role

NEW YORK —- To prepare
for her new movie Beloved.
Oprah Winfrey tells TV Guide
she had to live the pain slaves
felt so that the “character
could come through me."

To accomplish that. Win-
frey was blindfolded. given a
different name and brought to
the woods along a section of
the Underground Railroad.

When the blindfold came
off Winfrey had to live for 24
hours like a slave trying to es-
cape bondage. She said the eX»
perience was difﬁcult.
