Acquired Immune Deficiency
Syndrome — big words with bigger
implications — according to a video
presented at a forum yesterday
about the concerns of AIDS.

At AIDS 101, speaker Russ Wil-
liams said the AIDS issue is more
than just a gay issue - it’s a public

health issue.

“It's (AIDS) boiled down to a life
or death issue,” said Williams, the
Substartce Abuse and AIDS educa-
tor at UK.

AIDS 101 is part of the Brown-
Bag Forums. hosted by the Student
Activities Board this semester.

The seminars are held every Mon-
day at noon in the Old Student Cen-
ter Theater.

The average death rate among
people with AIDS in Kentucky was
about 81 percent two years ago —
currently it is 67 percent.

But that is higher than than the
US. average of 61 percent.

“That tells me this is going to be
around for a long time,” Williams
said.

AIDS is a fatal illness that breaks
down the body’s immune system,

producing susceptibility to certain
diseases. The HIV virus causes
AIDS and can be contracted by sex-
ual contact and by exposure to con-
taminated blood.

But Williams said if people are
properly educated about cenain be-
haviors that invite the virus, then
AIDS is “really hard to get.”

During the lecture, Williams en-
couraged students to limit the num-

Timothy tossed the egg through

and Timothy laughed.

While walking to the sink to
clean the egg from his hands and

Johnny Poison, a volunteer for

United Way of the Bluegrass and

 

Phi Sigma Kappa social fraternity.

Poison, a political science and

Gentry’s big brother for about a
week.

He is from a small town, but in a
city like Lexington, Poison said he
thinks there aren’t many older chil-
dren to hang around with the
younger ones.

“I thought I could do something
to help.”

The program is funded by Unit-

Chris Stephens, a social work
senior, said he became a big broth-
er because he “I had a lot of spare
time and was doing nothing use-
ful.”

Stephens said being with his lit-
tle brother, Brandon: “Is a lot of
fun. At the beginning, I didn‘t
know whether he would enjoy the
things we do,” but “now he gives
me ideas of stuff to do.”

UK’s involvement in the pro-
gram is vital, said Ernie Hatfield,
Executive Director of Big Broth-
ers/ Big Sisters of the Bluegrass.

Hatfield said probably 10 per-
cent of their volunteers are from
UK, which includes about 30 stu-

Takis Petrou, a psychology
graduate student, said he became a
volunteer because he “felt it is
something I can do that won’t take
too much time. You can make a
little difference in a child‘s life."

Petrou also said the program is a
“great opportunity to practice for
your own kids."

International pressure

on Hussein

By LAURA KING
Associated Press

International pressure on Saddam
Hussein intensified yesterday as Eu-
ropean nations retaliated for raids on
diplomatic premises in occupied
Kuwait, and support appeared to
grow for the idea of an air embargo
against Iraq.

Oil prices jumped yesterday,
pointing to pessimism about pros-
pects for a settlement of the 6 1/2-
week-old Persian Gulf standoff. Oil
futures soared to record levels,
abOve $33 a barrel, on the New
York Mercantile Exchange.

In a sign of Iraq's growing isola-
tion. the Soviet Union, Baghdad's
longtime patron. said yesterday it
would re-establish diplomatic ties
with Saudi Arabia. The Saudis infu-
riated Iraq by agreeing to become
the main staging ground for the de-
ployment of a huge U.S.-led multi-
mtional force after the Aug. 2 Iraqi
takeover of Kuwait.

Sensitivities about the role of the

U.S. force were underscored when a
top US. military man was sacked
after discussing contingency plans
for air strikes against Baghdad.

The fired official, Air Force chief
of staff Gen. Mike Dugan, made the
remarks while touring US. military
installations in Saudi Arabia, and
they were published yesterday in
The Washington Post and the Los
Angeles Times.

“There are certain things we nev-
er talk about. We never discuss op-
erational matters. such as the selec-
tion of specific targets for potential
air strikes," an angry Defense Sec—
retary Dick Cheney told reporters in
Washington.

Arab radical groups, meanwhile,
ended a three-day conference in
Amman, Jordan on yesterday with
calls for suicide attacks against the
US. forces. Ibrahim AI-Kharraz. a
member of the Libyan Peoples Con-
gress, pointed to the 1983 suicide at-

Campus awaits
trustees’ choice
for president

By GREGORY A. HALL
Senior Staff Writer

Paul Eakin’s
words last week
were simple, but
the mathematics
professor's tone
spoke volumes
about how the
University com-
munity feels as
its Board of This-
tees gathers today
to select the WETHINGTON
school's 10th president.

“It’s over," Eakin said before last
Monday‘s University Senate meet-
ing.

Despite repeated promises by
Presidential Search Committee
Chairman Foster Ockennan. many
believe that the man currently serv-
ing in his ninth month as interim
president — Charles Wethington ——
will not have to move out of his of-
fice in the Administration Building.

Many echo University Senate
members' belief that the search was
“fundamentally flawed" from the
outset. They argue that Wethington.
a 54-year-old Casey County native.
never should have been allowed to
be a candidate. It was expected that
Wethington undisputedly would be
the most qualified choice among the
finalists.

From the time the search began
last February, everything appeared
to be going smoothly for trustee and
search committee chairman Ocker-
man. It seemed as though today‘s sc-
lection would be the result of a tech-
nically proper search and a landmark
day where a Kentucky native agatn
assumed the presidency of the
state's flagship institution.

But since that placid start. the
search has unraveled, gradually los-
ing its veil of credibility as tundr-
datcs began to drop out. IIIIS best

UK Betas, in hotel, eager to move on

By CAROLINE SHIVELY
Contributing Writer

A UK fraternity is having to ad-
just to a home far away from the
one they want to live in. In fact, it‘s
not even a home. It‘s a hotel.

Continental Inn, a popular gather-
ing spot for high school and college
students in Lexington the last dec-
ade, has become the forced home
for Beta Theta Pi social fraternity.

Since the beginning of August, 22
members of Beta Theta Pi have
been living in hotel rooms in the
Continental, which is located on
New Circle Road.

The Betas were scheduled to
move into a house at 330 Clifton
Circle -— which formerly housed
Sigma Phi Epsilon social fraternity
—- but the Betas' national fraternity
headquarters would not grant them
the $126,000 needed for the renova-
tions, according to Michael Mu.
treasurer of the Beta Theta Pi Alum-
ni Housing Corporation.

Sigma Phi Epsilon was responsi-
ble for making renovations this
summer and leasing the house to the
Bow.

The renovations and the four year
lease on the house will be paid for
by the Beta Theta Pt Alumni Hous-
ing Corporation, with funds generat-
cd by the undergraduates housing
bill.

“The whole house must be rcno-
vatcd," Mu said. “It must be brought
up to University. crty, and state
codes. It will take two to three
weeks."

Eris Geiterrez, president of the
Betas, said his fratemtty had secured
tentative amngcments for leasing
the house last spring.

“There were some complications,
so the renovations that were sup-
posed to be done this summer
couldn t be done until now ‘Geitcr-
rcz said.

The Betas are beginning their
fourth year at UK, but this will be
thc first official house they have
leased as a fratcmity.

"We're looking forward to it, be-
cause I think it's such a different ex-
perience living with each other." he
said.

The fraternity members wrll lack
some of the amenities of the hotel.
but they said they are eager to move

and ready to dash to winner’s circle

By T" WIESENHAHN
Stall Writer

With an abundance of summer
training behind them. and the lucra-
tive fall racing season ahead. UK
men's cross country coach Don We-
ber says his team stands a good
chance of winding up 1990 in the
winner's circle.

“When school starts the die is
cast," said UK coach Don Weber.
“If you haven’t done it (the training)
during the summer, you're not go-
ing to do as well as you're capable
of, neither individually or as a team
— it's just plain fact."

Although the jury is still out for
1990. Weber said the men have the
potential to be UK’s best team yet.

“Our summer training has unques-
tionably made a difference," Weber
said. “It's the most irnponant yet
least complicated thing we do. Sum-
mer training is a matter of putting in
the miles, and all the men did that.
They have good strength, a good
base, and a very good level of fit-
ness — much further than they’ve
ever been.

“We will definitely be a contender
in the SEC — a contender to win.”

This season the men once again
are led by senior James B. Kaiser.
An All-SEC choice in 1989, Kaiser
guided UK to a surprising fourth-
place finish in the conference meet
last season.

Expected to figure prominently in
the men's bid for a second SEC title
in three years are seniors Charlie
Kern, Alan Thomas and Bob Whe-
Ian.

“I’m really excited," Thomas
said. “We’re the team to beat in the
SEC, maybe one of the top five or
10 teams in the country."

Kern, Thomas and Whelan were
members of UK’s 1988 SEC Cham-
pionship squad, which also finished
eighth in the 1988 NCAA Champi-
onships.

Whalen. an All-American in the
mile, returns to cross country action
this year after having sat out the en-
tire 1989 season with a knee injury.

Whalen — UK’s Male Athlete of
the Year for 1988-89 — said he is
amazed at the depth of the squad.

“You can't win races just off the
strength of your front-runner,”
Whalen said. “With all our guys
right there in a group, we're going
to do super."

Junior James A. Kaiser is taking a
“wait and see approach” this season.

Kaiser. who placed 15th in the
conference last season. said he is
still recovering from Achilles ten-
dinitus which has limited his train-
ing. Once fully recovered, Kaiser is
expected to be a major contributor
in 1990.

Sophomores Neil Crouse, George
Yiarmelis. and Eddy Melia should
see plenty of action this season.

Melia, who is from Drogheda, Ire-
land, placed 13th in the conference
last season and was the 19-and-
under Irish National Champion in
1987.

Yiannelis. who is a native of Ath-
ens, Greece, returned to UK this fall
as the ninth-place finisher in the 19-
and-under World Steeple Chase
Championships.

Although Crouse doesn't share
Melia's and Yiannelis’ international
notoriety, the Borden. lnd., native
could be the man to watch in 1990.

“There’s a dramatic difference in
Crouse this season.” Weber said. “If
he can stay healthy, he'll be one of
our main guys.”

Also returning will be senior Don
Bonfiglio, sophomores Kevin He-

The UK men’s cross country team takes it across country on the Keeneland Course in Lexing-
ton. The team, who return a slew of big-time talent from last season, have their sights set high.

denberg, Brian Perry, Scott Drum
and Damian Nally.

Despite the men’s wealth of tal-
ent, Coach Weber stresses that to
live up to their potential, the Cats
must develop a mental toughness to
compliment their physical skills.

“For us to be our best team ever,
ever the course of the year we have
to develop the ability to run a series
of inspired races: at the conference,
at the district, and hopefully at the
nationals," Weber said

No strangers to inspired races at
any level is the UK women‘s team.
In 1988, the Lady Kats captured
both the SEC and the NCAA cross
country titles.

UK won its second-consecutive
SEC crown last season and finished
wcond to Villanova in the NCAA
Championships.

But the Lady Kats enter the 1990
season battling injury and adjusting
to life after the loss of standouts
Valerie McGovern. Donna Combs
and Sherry Hoover. who all ran out
of eligibility.

Senior Laura McSpMden will be
used to take up the slack.

“Mentally, I'm very ready to com-
pete," said McSpadden. “We're a
young team, and very evenly
matched. I’m anxious to begin."

Rebounding from surgery this
season are junior Jennifer Kendal

and senior Denise Bushallow.

Kendal fell one place shy of All-
SEC and two places shy of All-
American last season. Bushallow is
a two-time All-SEC pick as well as
the Lady Kats’ MVP in 1987.

Also not willing to let the Lady
Kats surrender their stranglehold on
cross country excellence are juniors
Kerry Rink, Shannon Steiner and
sophomores Christa Holmes, Mi-
chele Schwegman and Dana Dietz.

Weber said although the Lady
Kats' progress has been sluggish
this season, they will be able to
maintain their elite status if they can
elevate their level of fitness over the
course of the season.

Cats hope to volley over foes

By AL HILL
Contributing Writer

Shone Libby is a believer in expe-
rience and progress.

That’s why he's predicting the
UK men’s volleyball team will be a
strong contender for this year's
championship of the Midwest Inter-
collegiate Volleyball Association
(MIVA).

“If we can get the ball up for
John, Billy and Jaime. there's no
one in the conference that can beat
us,” said Libby. a senior.

Strong words. But Libby, the
club’s president, said the team has
the right ingredients to back up
those words. Libby is talking about
the core of the team’s power —

strong hitters seniors John Cox and
Billy Nold and sophomore Jaime
Gordon. Also retuming are Libby,
an outside hitter. and senior Mike
Ford.

Last year, the quintet led the team
to a 6-1 conference record and a
12th place finish in the strong
MIVA.

“Because of the success of last
year's team the Cats are more in de-
mand this season." Libby said.

Jeff Hall and TJ. Meagher are
competing for the vacant starting
position. But both Hall and Meagher
are seniors are far from inexperi-
enced, said coach Mary Jones. Jones
herself is one of the few new pres-
ences on the team, although she is
not a newcomer to UK volleyball as

Jones played four years on the

Lady Kats' head coach and assist-
ant UK Athletic Director Kathy De-
Boer had nothing but praise for
Jones, whom she coached until
Jones graduated last year.

“Mary has the qualities you need
to be a successful coach,” DeBoer
said. “She is a talented player, very

the game."

Jones said she’s only seen her ex-
perienced team improve this year.

the HIV virus cuinot be trammitted
by giving blood. what Williams said
was a common fear among people.

Only 10 students attended the
semimr.

Mary Brinkman, director of
Health Education at Student Health
Services, said students aren't inter-
ested because “they think they're
immortal.”

With the high rate of reported
sexually transmitted diseases at UK,
students should be concerned,
Brinkman said.

“AIDS is a sexually transmitted
disease. too,” she said.

Brinkmari said students have told
her they are fed up with with AIDS
information. “They feel bombarded.

“It’s (AIDS awareness among
students) going to be gradual. Peo-
ple don't feel it's a priority.”

The Brown-Bag Forums are an
educational approach to a wide
range of current topics and are de-

' to “motivate students to act."
said By] Hensley. chairperson of the
SAB Contemporary Affairs Com-
mittee and coordinator of the series.

Hensley said he wants students to
quit talking about issues and do
something about them.

“UK needs to have some eyes
opened,” Hensley said.

Kevin Steele, a campus minister
for the Newman Center. said he at-
tended the seminar because AIDS is
a suppressed topic in campus minis-

“The more information the bet-
ter," Steel said. “I want to be in-
formed, so I can be a companion for
students.”

Williams said various UK depart-
ments and campus organizations are
planning an AIDS conference for
the end of February. The conference
will be a series of presentations tar-
geted to students and faculty.

hit that killed 241 U.S. servicemen.

“We have the striking examples
of heroes who turned their bodies
into bombs that horrified the aggres-
sorsandforcedthemtofleeindark-
ness," he told delegates including
Islamic party members and Palestin-
ian guenilla factions.

In Iraq, there was an outburst of
anti-American sentiment in the
state-nm newspapers yesterday, a
day after Iraqi television aired an
eight-minute message from Presi-
dent Bush to the people of Iraq.
“Shut Up, Mr. Bush," one headline
said.

Bush's videotaped message, in
which he warned that Saddam was
leading Iraq into war, was followed
immediately by an Iraqi commen-
tary blasting the speech as “full of
lies and contradictions." Hundreds
of demonstrators then took to the
streets of Baghdad, chanting “Death
to Bush!" and “Death to America!"

The Bush administration said the
hostile reaction demonstrated the ef-
fectiveness of Bush's message.
“They obviously felt it was neces-
sary to try to discredit the United
States as much as possible," White
House spokesman Marlin Fitzwater
said.

In Brussels, Belgium, European
Community nations announced they
would expel Iraqi military attaches
and restrict travel by other embassy
personnel to protest break-ins by Ira-
qi troops at diplomatic premises in
occupied Kuwait last week.

The Iraqi raids on Dutch, French,
Belgian and Canadian embassies or
diplomatic residences in Kuwait
were unanimously condemned Sun-

The Belgian foreign affairs minis-
ter, Mark Eyskens, concurred.

“Everybody was arguing for an
air blockade,” he said.

th‘d said, however, that it was
important to obtain backing from the
UN. Security Council for such a
step. U.N. diplomats on Sunday be—
gan drafting a new resolution to
close off Iraq’s air routes and punish
nations flouting the embargo, U.S.
officials said.

An air blockade would involve the
interception of planes approaching
Iraq and would pose a far greater
danger of triggering hostilities than
the boarding of ships in the Persian
Gulf, which has been done under the
UN. naval embargo.

Hurd also renewed complaints
about Iraq‘s treatment of diplomats
in Kuwait, where about a dozen na-
tions, including the United States,
are defying Baghdad's orders to shut
down their embassies.

“They are surrounded by soldiers,
they can’t get food or drink in,"
Hurd said.

Spain's foreign minister, Francis-
co Fernandez Ordonez, told repen-
ers in Bnissels that the Spanish Em-
bassy in Kuwait was cut off and
surrounded by Iraqi troops for the
first time yesterday. Bangladesh,
which closed its Kuwait embassy
last week, said yesterday its ambas-
sador to Kuwait and four other dip-
lomats had been denied permission
to leave Baghdad.

~Also, about 6.000 Kuwaitis fled
their homeland over the weekend af-
ter Iraqi troops opened the only bor-
der crossing to Saudi Arabia.

He declined to answer questions
before entering the President's
Room for the pre-game luncheon
with trustees.

During the game Wethington sat
in his box, which has a security
fence for protecting the governor
when he attends the game.

Although the governor did not at-
tend. the gate was closed and Weth-

press at bay.

He left the stadium expeditiously,
walking out of the stadium with his
wife, Judy, getting into a UK Police

it would appear that Wethington
is ready for this presidential search
process to find its conclusion at to-
day’s meeting.

Although he Qpeered worn. from

appeared to be in complete control.

He popped out of the President's
Room on occasion to direct his sec-
retaries. The trustees brought Elliott
to campus to even the tables, but it
was clear who was in conuol.

At the senate meetings, some
pointed out that the UK presidency
is becoming a political football.

The search was covered in that
context —— a political appointment.
This type of media coverage is noth-
ing different than the coverage of
other political events.

Having left the realms of acade-
mia, the presidency will continue in
the same political manner that it has.

Wethington said last week that he
had expected a media barrage con-
cerning the search.

That he received. He appeared
tired of the search process and tired
of the same questions again and
again from the media.

will face Wed scrutiny,md
not just from the press wags.

If he closes the gate at a football
game, one must wonder if the gate
would remain closed if administra—
tors and staff are shuffled about in
cabinet-level changes.

It is now evident that Wethington
will not benefit from a successful
best-case selection scenario. And his
presidency will be colored in the
same manner.

Time will tell if the process that
wore Wethington down Saturday is
an indication of how he will handle
the presidency.

Many will point that for someone
who SGA President Sean Lohman
called open to students, Wethington
was quick to isolate himself Satur-

Until they move into their house,
