When a friend told Mark
Scheuer about a slaughter-
house position that payed
$9.75 an hour, Scheuer quit
his cooking job for the
higher wage.

Three months at the ,
the US. government termi-
nated a coma-act that result-
ed in Scheuer losing his job.

“When I was first in ori-
entation, they (manage-
ment) said the hadn’t had a
lay off since 1 81. So I did-
n’t expect it,” Scheuer
explained.

Having worked for only
3 months prior to staff cut-
backs, he couldn’t qualify
for unemployment insur-
ance—which requires a
minimum of six months at
one 'ob.

nable to make rent,
Scheuer found himself
homeless for the first time
in his life.

from being homeless,”
explained Louis Bieschke,

Communi Relations
Manager or the HOPE
Center.

Not wishing to impose
on family or friends,
Scheuer made his way to the
HOPE Center two months
ago.

His first day at the Cen-
ter, Scheuer found a job at a
local restaurant.

He plans to reside at the
Center until he can afford
to move out.

“If I get cocky, I may
come back up here and
remember that on can
always end u on e home-
less side,” Sc euer said.

As the only male over-
night shelter in Lexington,
the HOPE Center offers
lots of help: shelter, show-

ers, clothes, counseling
three meals a day, and an
employment program.

Most importantly, it pro-
vides the means to rebuild
lives.

“We don’t want to be
enablers of a problem... It
takesalon time to get back

ams are

Bieschke said.

Cars will find

By Tamara Morris
Staff Writer

 

UK continues to be plagued with a parking
problem that does not provide adequate parking
spaces to students and employees.

Don Thornton, director of parking and trans-
portation services said, “parking is a universal
problem on all major college campuses.”

For most students, the solution seems simple
—- build more parking structures.

“Parking is a major roblem around here,” said
Karen Meade, a Chan ler Medical Center staffer.

The parking structure that is under construc—
tion on South Limestone Street is scheduled to be
completed in December.

The revenue generated from parkin tickets
and the purchase of parking ermits wifi ay for
the structure. No general finds or ad itional
money will be granted from the state or the Uni—
versity.

The parking structure will be controlled by an
access gate that requires patrons to have a valid

Brash kills six
soldiers in Ft. Campbell

FORT CAMPBELL, Ky. — Two Army trans-
port helicopters collided and plummeted to the
ground Tuesday just before soldiers were to
descend to a mockup of a downed helicopter and
“rescue” soldiers pretending to be injured. Six
peo le were killed and 30 were in'ured.

he military’s second fatal heficopter collision
in just over a month ha pened when the main
rotor blades of the UH— Blackhawk helicopters
hit each other, said Maj. Joe Howell, a post

The helico ters fell from treetop level, and
narrowly avol ed crashin directiy on top of the
area where soldiers on t e ground were lying
around a plywood mockup of another helicopter,
said Howell, who witnessed the crash.

An amateur videotape shot by a s ctator
showed that one helico ter veered into e other
for some reason, Howe said. “It was not a case of
them hover-in too close,” he said.

Howell said one of the ilots survived and had
been intemewed by investigators.

Nine of the injured were in critical condition,

There are still lingering ques-
tions surrounding the recent
awarding of the UK University
Bookstore contract to Wallace’s
Bookstores, the nation’s
fourth-lat est supplier of
colle 'ate Books. i

T e company is owned
by former Gov. Wallace
Wilkinson.

The primary source of
controvers surrounds
the bid ing process

which was reopened after Wilkinson

bids were received from
three companies: Wallace’s,
Barnes and Noble and Follett,
the latter of which has the cur-
rent contract to run the book-
store.

UK first sent out an invitation
to bid on May 7.

The invitations were to be
returned on or before May 21.

According to the UK bid tab-
ulation form, Barnes and Noble
and Follett both bade $4 million
while Wallace’s bade $930,000.

However, the contract was
not awarded based on these bids.

A letter dated May 22, 1996
from Tom Fields, Director of the

 

UK Purchasing Division, stated
that the University was “reject—
ing all bids...in accordance with
paragraph 2.4,” of the bid invita-
tion.

This paragraph gives UK the

right to reject any and all bids.
Although a specific rea-
son was not given in
Fields’ letter, the bid invi-
tation spells out some
reasons for rejection,
among them that the pur-
chasing oFficer deter-
mines that the bid being
submitted is unreasonable
in price.
UK Purchasing Officer
Milton Skeen said the bid was
reopened because of Wallace’s
error in completing the bid
form.

“In a five year time span, VVal—
lace’s original bid would have
been over $650,000 more than
Barnes and Nobles and Follett’s
bid," Skeen said.

Tim Prather, Wallace’s vice
president for marketing and
development, said that the origi-
nal bid submitted was for only
one year, and this is why the bid-
din process was reopened.

he invitation to bid shows

that this was a bid for five years
and that the it was to reflect a
total for the entire contract.

It calls for one total “for the
exclusive right to operate the
University Bookstore...for a five
year period..."

Milton Skeen, assistant direc-
tor of the UK Purchasing Divi~
sion, said bids were reopened
because one of the three bidders,
Wallace’s, made its bid for a one-
year period.

Bids were reopened, Skeen
said, “to ensure the University
did not miss out on a better busi-
ness opportunity.”

Although Barnes and Noble
and Follett both bade $4 million
for the contract, Wallace’s bid,
projected over five years, would
have totalled $4.65 million.

Dennis Saner, vice president
of marketin for Follett’s felt the
entire first id was handled in a
questionable manner.

“The handeling of the first
bid was quite unusual,” Saner
said.

Wilkinson, who was governor
from 1987 to 1991 is no stranger
to controversy.

In 1991, toward the end of his
term as governor, Wilkinson
appointed himself to the UK
board of trustees.

At the time, Wallace’s was
supplying books to the UK com—
muni colleges.

It mally ended the contract
with the community colleges
after the issue generated heated
controversy, but maintained that
the contract was not a conflict of
interest.

Dole criticizes Clinton policy

By Tom Raom
Associated Pres

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Bob
Dole, mounting a spirited come-
from-behind campaign for Call-
fornia’s 54 electoral votes, is por—
traying President Clinton as “a
great pretender” who courts Cale
ifornians while pursuing policies
that he says harm them.

“Clinton’s olicies add u to
nothing less than a war on ali-
fornia,” Dole said as he kicked
off his third tri here since wrap-
pingu the GSP nomination.

o e was goin to a defense
plant today, Loc eed-Martin,
to underscore his contention that
Clinton policies have been dev-
astating to the state's im rtant
defense and aerospace in ustries.

Clinton licies are “like a
stinger miss: e aimed right at the
heart of California,” he told an
outdoor rally on Monday in
Walnut Creek, an affluent San
Francisco suburb.

These have “cost at least

130,000 jobs directly related to
the defense industry and thou-
sands and thousands of more are
at risk,” Dole said at the begin-
ning of a four-day campaign
swmg.

Dole also faulted Clinton for
failing to tame illegal immigra-
tion, raising the gasoline tax, and
various environmental and agri-
cultural abuses.

“Bob Dole clearly hasn’t spent
enough time in California the
last 3 1/2 ears. Unemployment
is down ramatically. New job
creation is up dramatically as is
consumer confidence,” Clinton~
Gore spokesman Joe Lockhart
said. The president hasn’t
waged war on California. He
waged war on George Bush's
recession and its a war we’re
winning.”

Clinton, who leads Dole in
statewide polls, has visited Cali-
fornia two donen times since tak-
ing oflice.

Dole’s strategists said the for—
mer Senate Majority Leader had

 

decided to make a stand in Cali-
fornia, and not cede it to the
Democrats as Bush had virtually
done in 1992.

“A Republican can win the
presidency without winning Cal-
ifornia. But you can’t win the
presidency as a Republican with-
out contesting California. That
was the bi lesson of ’92,” said
Ken Khacfiigian, Dole's senior
California strategist.

By the same token, Khachi-
gian said, “If we win California,
Clinton’s gone. He’s toast.”

Dole was focusing his atten-
tion at the Lockheed-Martin
plant on GOP efiorts, opposed
by Clinton, to win congressional
approval for a missile defense
s tern, a scaled down version of

e Strategic Defense Initiative
of President Reagan’s that was
ridiculed by Democrats as “Star
Wars.”

Dole accused Clinton of “an
ostrich-like opposition to a

Fearsiade
at student
program

By LaSlianna Carter
Stafl Writer

For the next month, more
than 2,700 freshmen will con—
verge on campus searching for
advice and information as a
part of UK’s annual summer
freshman orientation. But they
will not be left in the dark.

Registration assistants are a
part of the yearly event. Stu-
dents learn best from students,
registration officials said.

David Johnson, a political
science senior, has been a stu-
dent assistant with the program
for two cars.

He t inks of it as his job to
make parents and students at
ease with the UK experience.

“I assist parents and students
in becoming familiar to this
University and make them
aware of the academics and
support units available to
them,” he said.

Students will learn about
various programs: Career Cen-
ter, Greek life, food services,
Student Temporary Employee

    

Placement Service, parking,
UK Police and the Rape
Aggression Defense programs.

Azar Jackson, a physical
therapy sophomore said he
thinks it is his responsibility as
a student assistant “to relay to
the freshmen and transfer stu—
dents what this university has
to offer them as well as ease the
anxietysof a big university."

Jac on also will help fresh-
men schedule classes.

Summer orientation pro-

rams offer several classes to
Eelp freshmen adjust to college
life.

Orientation classes also deal
with academic life, declared
majors, computer efficiency,
direct student loans, foreign
language requirements,
advanced math programs,
careers in health care, honor
programs, mini—college pro—
grams, minority and student
services and UK’s athletic
department.

Johnson and Jackson both
have great expectations for this
year’s incoming freshmen.

This year’s entering fresh-
man class will be the most aca—
demically talented class to ever
come to this University.

Jackson said as the academic
standards of UK increase, grad-
uating classes will become bet-
ter.
New student orientation
will continue through July 26.

Former governor
must raise 4 million

By James Ritchie

Smwr .811de37“,-

Former Kentucky Governor
Martha Layne Collins is leaving
her job as president of St.
Catharine College in VVashing—
ton County to direct UK’s Inter-
national Business and Manage-
ment Center.

The center is part of the Col-
lege of Business and Economics
and operates all its non-credit
instructional programs.

Collins will begin her duties
July 1. She will be res onsible
for raising about $4 mil ion dol—
lars to build a fourth floor onto
the Business and Economics
building, which will house the
center, said Richard Furst, dean
of the colle e.

Original? , the building was to
have a fourth floor reserved for
the center, but funding was not
available at the time of construc-
tion, Furst said.

The center currently occupies
small office space in the buildin ,
but Furst explained that hopeful
ly construction of the addition
can begin by this time next year.

Furst said he originally con-

tacted Collins about the position
in 1987, at the end of her term as
governor, but the timing was not
good.

“At that time, the situa—
tion didn't seem quite
right,” Furst said.

Collins has been at St.
Catharine, a two-year pri—
vate college for women,
for the last six years.

Furst said UK needs to
devote more energy to
Japanese relations, and
Collins’ experience will be
a valuable asset for achieving this
goal.

“We have not done as much
in developin programs linking
America to Japan, as to other
countries,” Furst said.

 

Collins, who was largely
responsible for getting Toyota
Motor Corp. to build an $800
million manufacturing plant in
Kentucky during the mid—eight—
ies, will be an asset to Japanese
relation studies.

Collins will help to develop
courses and materials that will
combine business and engineer—
ing to teach manufacturing.
Furst said. He said that her cor-
porate contacts will be

beneficial in gaining
entree to companies,
possibly aiding in student

placement.

Collins serves on several
boards of directors at
companies, such as East-
man-Kodak and Norfolk
& Southern Railroad.
Collins’ position is cur-
rently temporary. Furst said that
if Collins decides she wants to
keep the job permanently, a
national search would be neces-
sary before a decision could be
made on the position.

"Illa" VIIIIII M”: "P Point guard Wgyre Turner 0 m defensive advice to youngsters at Rick Pitino’s bas—

ketball camp. Camper: in grades 4-12 will

By Shannon Hart
Smfl Writer

So you thought that once the
UK Wildcat basketball team cut
down the nets on April 1, the
players and coaching staff got to
sit back and relax until the new
season rolled around?

You thought wrong.

Instead, they spend a month
making some kids dreams come
true —— the chance to meet Wild-
cat coaches and players and even
face them on the court.

Throughout the month of
June, plus the first week of
August, head coach Rick Pitino,
his assistants, managers and
returning players conduct
numerous basketball camps for
boys in the fourth to the 12th
grades.

Four week-long camps are
held, and two father/son cam s
lasting only a weekend also ta e
place. Associate coach Jim
O’Brien said that even though
basketball season is over, sum-
mer is still a busy time for the
Wildcats.

"Right now we’re in our 12th
straight day of cam ," O’Brien
said on Tuesda . “ e teach the
fundamentals o the game of bas-
ketball — dribbling, passing,
shooting and defense.

In the morning, the campers
go through individual instruc-
tion. They are taught fundamen-
tals and participate in a four-on-
four lea e. In the afternoons
and evemngs, five-on-five games

earnfiom

are held.

“After individual instruction
at 6:30, which is o tional, the
kids are busy from a out 8:15 in
the morning to 9:15 at night,”
O’Brien said. “Camp forces
them to work harder than they
will all summer, and it builds
mental tou ess.”

The ki s also attend lectures
by the current coaches and play-
ers, plus faces from the past such
as former players Rex Chapman,
Sam Bowie and Walter McCarty.

Campers can enter a free-
throw shooting contest and a
“hot shot” shooting contest, dur-
ing which they shoot from vari-
ous areas on the court while
being timed.

to play a Wildcat one-on-one.
The kids are well- repared by
the end of the week, as sopho-
more point guard Wa e Turner
has found out the hat way.

“I’ve already been beaten five
or six times,” he said, laughing.

Besides the chance to bra
that they beat one of the nationa
champions, the kids get much
more out of spending time with
the UK players.

“Bein a Kentucky player, a

Edwards said. “It fee 3 great for
them, and us, too.”

ouse said he loves to watch
the Cats play because “they make
everything look so smooth and
easy. They hardly ever make mis-

up for them.”

First-timer Paul Janeway, a

If you begin to imagine flying away
while stuck in a “Theory of Life”
course this summer, George Gumbert
wants you to make a trip to the Avia-
tion Museum of Kentucky.

The museum, which is located at
Blue Grass Airport, has an excellent
display of artifacts, trainers and planes
dating to the early 1920s.

The museum is in a small aircraft
hangar and it only takes a few hours to
see everything. The museum is only 18
months-old and is still collecting
material for exhibits.

That doesn’t mean the museum
lacks an impressive collection of
planes. Exhibits range
from a Piper Cub built in
the 19305 to an A4 Sky— .
hawk on loan from the '1
Navy’s Blue Angels unit in
Pensacola, Fla.

In the early days of avi-
ation, the skin of an air- .
craft was actually cotton "
or linen, not unlike a basic
bedsheet. It was a
painstaking process to
prepare the cloth, so that
it could withstand the "
stress of flight and weather, said
George Gumbert, museum president.

“It was very involved, which
involved dopin the material and then
coverin it wit silver to keep out the
ultravio et 1i ht,” Gumbert said. “But
it wasn’t too ad once you were set up
for it.”

Two planes used to train pilots dur—
ing World War II are being displayed
at the museum.

“There weren’t enough planes to go
around, especially at the be inning of
the war, so they trained in t ese types

of planes,” Gumbert said.

Another highlight of the
tour was the Link Trainer,
the first mechanical simu-
lator used to train pilots.
The link is one that was
used during World War II
and still works today.
“We don’t use it too much
today because it is too
noisy,” Gumbert said.
However, they are work-
"long a re lica that
lows the pub ic to sit in
it andtry it out

Also, you can research in the library,
and future plans call for an on-line link
to the Air and Space Museum at the
Smithsonian and to NASA.

The museum is in the back of Blue
Grass Airport in the general aviation
section. For more information, call

Once again brother fought against
brother— when 300 men gathered this
weekend at Georgetown’s Cardome to
re—fight General John Hunt Morgan’s
Raid.

“We are reliving Civil War history.
We want people to see how soldiers
lived, ate, slept,” ex lained event orga—
nizer Mike Marshal .

The three day living-history extrav—
aganza breathed life mm a time gone-

wares of the era. Some reenactors
grew manicured mustaches to enhance
the authenticity of the era. Bands
hummed forlorn northern hymns and
southern Dixie.

“You don’ t see modern clothing on
the battle field. .wool breathes, so we’ll
stay cooler in wool pant than someone
in jeans,” Larry Havicus, an event
chairperson.

The prevailing mood hovered. “if
they did it we do it. ”Such was the case
when reenactors carried up to six,
heavy guns in the scorching sun.

“It was normal to carry several
guns. You had one that was issued to
you. If someone was killed, you picked
up an extra one. That extra pistol
could save your own life,” Marshall
explained.

Staged with the seriousness of a
play, men from all professions— doc-
tors, postmen, lawyers— guised their
identities in Blue or Grey.

Reasons varied, but many partici-
pating parties had a relative who had
fought in the war.

However Marshall looked to teen-

es which is why he often chooses to
ride Calvary. And it’s easier than living
out his Old West dream.
