tudents can spend summer studying abroad

By LISA CROUCHER
Staff Writer

Adventurous students who want to
do more this summer than blow a
lifeguard whistle or flip yeasy ham-
burger patties may be interested in
spending a culturally enlightening
summer abroad.

UK‘s Off-Campus Programs is
hosting an informational gathering
today that will allow students to ex-
plore the opportunities available for
international studies.

“It’s an international meeting
where people will be able to find out
the number of ways they can earn

UK credit abroad," said Judy John-
son, the assistant director of Off-
Campus Programs.

UK is offering summer programs
in France, Mexico, Austria and Brit-
ain. There is also an opportunity for
a few UK students to spend the fall
1988 semester at Oxford University.

“There will be four tables set up
— one for each of the areas,” John-
son said. “On those tables will be all
of the information — photographs,
videotapes and brochures. And the
instructors who will be teaching the
courses will be at their area to talk
informally to the students."

Students will also have the oppor-

Student proposals result
in SGA senate bickering

By JULIE ESSELMAN
Staff Writer

In its last meeting of the semes~
ter. the Student Government Asso-
ciation erupted into lengthy debate
last night on two bills that led to
controversy over the senate‘s re-
sponsibilities to the students.

The bickering was initiated by a
prop053l to allocate $1,300 to send 10
minority students to a literary and
social conference in Chicago this
month.

Much of the senate debate re-
volved around the purpose of the
program and whether it is striving
for racial equality or invoking more
conflict between whites and blacks.

“This is a polarization, not an
inspiration,“ said Senator at Large
David White, citing one particular
part of the program concerning the
topic of white-ruled supremacy.
“This is a radical workshop, in my
opinion."

Adrana Finley. a sponsor of the
bill, defended its purpose. saying
many workshops involve leadership
development. poetry and socially
and politically related programs.

"It's more or less educational,"
she said.

“Afro-American students are
looking to see where we stand
today," said Tai Doram. a member
of the SGA executive branch. “The
conference will address this."

White said he did not intend to
create the impression of racial con-
flicts, but simply questioned SGA‘s
sponsoring of the trip.

Other problems with the bill dealt

with the number of students to send
to the conference and its cost.

After a lengthy debate, the senate
agreed to pass the bill with an
amendment to send five students to
Chicago.

Controversy in the senate, howev-
er. was not limited to the literary
conference proposal.

A bill asking for support for the
establishment of a national naval or-
ganization on campus caused fur—
ther bickering among SGA mem-
bers.

Doram was primary sponsor of a
bill asking SGA to allocate more
than $900 to form a Midshipmen
League in hopes of attracting the
Navy ROTC to UK.

The bill passed by an 18—7 vote,
but not without a lengthy debate
that left many senators confused
and critical of the senate‘s responsi-
bilities as student representatives.

”We are making a mockery of the
system," said Senator at Large
Susan Brothers. who thought the bill
needed to be sent to committee. “We
ought to get the (confusion) out of a
lot of things."

“Committees didn‘t meet last
week, so some of these bills proba-
bly shouldn't have been here," said
Brian Crowder, a member of the ex-
ecutive branch. “Then some of these
problems may not have occurred. “

However, SGA President Cyndi
Weaver downplayed the problem.
“The meetings are going on for a
long time; it‘s late in the semester
and people are a little frustrated,"
she said. “People will be fresher
after break."

Apartments named
in athlete’s honor

By CYNTHIA LEWIS
Contributing Writer

More than 700 students live in
Greg Page Stadium View Apart-
ments on the UK campus. But few
students seem to know who Greg
Page even was.

For example:

Bryce Schuller, a computer sci-
ence junior, said Page “was a mil-
lionare who contributed money to
the University."

“Maybe he was a student that
didn‘t like the dorms,“ said Shawn
Moren. a communications senior.

And Christine Peterson, an interi-
or design junior, thought Page “was
an architecture student."

Actually, Greg Page Stadium
View Apartments were named after
Greg Page, a UK football player
from Middlesboro, Ky.. who died fol-
lowing a spinal injury suffered in
football practice.

Page was a l9-yearold sophomore
who was the second black to sign
with UK on a football scholarship.

Greg Page Stadium View Apartments are located
off of Alumni Drive on the southwest side of Corn-

The Wildcat defensive end was pre-
dicted to be a star.

August 22, 1967 was the third day
of UK's fall practice. According to a
newspaper account. it was a hot Fri-
day afternoon. Page and other de-
fensive linemen were practicing a
drill known as “Explode and Pur-
suit."

In the drill, the center pitches the
ball to a teammate and the de-
fensive linemen converge on the ball
handler. The defense then “butts"
the ball handler without actually
tackling him. After the pileup that
day, everyone stood up except Page.

He either hit the ground wrong or
someone fell on him. The accident
paralyzed Page and left him in crit-
ical condition at the University hos-
pital for 39 days. He died late on
Sept. 29.

Nathan Sullivan, a professor in the
College of Social Work, was a fellow
student and friend of Page. Sullivan
visited Page in the hospital several
times after the injury.

"Everybody was crazy about Greg

tunity to sample some international
foods.

Johnson welcomes anyone who
has any interest in studying abroad
to attend the meeting because there
is no obligation and the gathering
will be a very informal chance to
ask questions.

While last summer was the first
time UK participated in the Britain
and Austria intersessions. Connie
Baird, director of Off-Campus pro«
grams, said the Mexico and France
programs have been around for
“many years.“

The excursion to Mexico lasts May
9 -— June 7 and is available to any-

one who has any interest in Spanish
or Mexican culture; no previous
knowledge of the language is nec-
essary. The tentative itinerary of
the $1.300 program includes trips to
Guanajuanto, Mexico City and Aca-
pulco.

To participate in the French pro-
gram, students must have com-
pleted French 102 or the equivalent.
The $2,200 cost of the “tour de
France" includes airfare and lodg-
ing at the various travel sites.

The Austria program. July 4 — 29.
is sponsored by the College of Busi-
ness and Economics and is a curric—
ulum geared essentially toward the

upperdiyision business student. The
$850 fee covers trips to the Alpine

By TOM SPAIDING

The Student Development Council
began plans for the third annual Se-
nior Challenge last night.

The Challenge, a fund~raising pro-
motion designed for seniors, usually
takes place in May after graduation.

This year. however, the Council is
implementing the Challenge in De
cember.

“December is kind of a warm-up
for the spring." chairperson Rebec-
ca Gooch said. "We‘re planting a
seed to get campus awareness."

The goal. she said, is to familiar~
ize seniors with the program and
make it easier for them to become
involved with it.

“People won‘t ask in April what it

is.“ Gooch said. “They will have al-
ready heard of it."

Gooch said that during December
the Council will make “every effort
to contact seniors and encourage
them to meet the challenge."

Students will have the opportunity
to repay the University by donating
a portion of the income courses at
UK have helped them to earn.
Gooch said.

SDC will send informational let»
ters to the estimated 1.300 Decem-
ber graduates. Enclosed in each will
be a letter of congratulations and a
pledge card.

Seniors can contribute either $20.
$35 or $50. They may contribute
more if they wish.

“This year we're going to award
the donators who give the most.”

councrl member Ken Walker said
“It'll give an incentive on people to

Soviets accused of violating treaty

By BARRY SCHWEII)
Associated Press

WASHINGTON - President Rea-
gan accused the Soviet Union yester-
day of flouting a 1972 arms control
treaty by shifting two radar installa-
tions to the vicinity of Moscow and
Kiev and probably carrying out ille-
gal anti-missile tests.

A report —— submitted to Congress
just five days before the arrival of
Soviet leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev
for a summit meeting and treaty
signing made seriom new
charges that the Kremlin had vio-
lated the Anti-Ballistic Missile trea-

ty.

The report said that in addition to
shifting the two radar installations,
the Soviets had improved a chat
lenged radar at Krasnoyarsk and
may be preparirg an anti-ballistic
missile defense of the country in vie
Iation of the treaty.

“I am confident the Congress fully
shares my concern about Soviet non«
compliance.“ President Reagan said
in a letter accompanying the report.

Earlier in the day. reporters
asked Reagan how he could ask the
Senate to ratify a new treaty at the
same time he is accusing the Rus-
sians of violating an old one.

“I'd say a certain amount of in-
consistency is justified," Reagan
said.

Pressed to explain what he meant
by that, he added. “on the part of us
who are talking to each other. "

White House spokesman Marlin
Fitzwater was asked to explain a
tough tone in Reagan‘s recent
speeches. He said it was appropriate
to “a summit between old enemies.“

“The speeches that the president
has made and his comments con-
cerning arms control and dealing
with the Soviets is entirely devised
to set a climate that we think is ap-

propriate for the summit." Fitywa
ter said.

Meantime. a dispute oyer an ex

Sawyer named acting mayor of Chicago

By WILLIAM C. HIDLAY
Associated Press

CHICAGO - Veteran black Alder-
man Eugene Sawyt was went in
yesterday as actirg mayor of Chi-
cago. He was chosen to succeed the
late Harold Washiiuton in a raucous
6'2-hour City Council meetim amid
charges of a return to machine poli-
tics.

Sawyer. elected with support from
old—guard whites. immediately
vowed that Washirgton's reform
movement “shall remain intact and
go forward. It will continue un-

tainted by special interests for the
rich and powerful."

But some allies of the city‘s first
black mayor predicted that Sawyer
would revert to old-style erenyism
and dealing durim his 17 months as
acting mayor.

Sawyer was elected at 4:01 a.m..
climaxing a chaotic 19 hours of polit-
ical intrigue. Ten aldermen reported
death threats. an estimated 5,000
protesters mobbed City Hall and a
lawsuit was filed in an unsuccessful
bid to stop the council's selection of
an acting mayor.

Winnie-the-Pooh and friends
bring Christmas spirit to UK

By JACKIE LATIMER
Staff Writer

A special Christmas greeting from
Winnie-the-Pooh and friends will
begin tonight when the UK Theatre
opens the musical “A Winnie-the-
Pooh Christmas Tail. "

James Rodgers. chairman of the
UK theater department, wrote the
musical with its original music and
published it 12 years ago. He be-
lieves people of all ages will enjoy
this performance. “It‘ll release the
child in you to enjoy the play."

But is Winnie~the~Pooh only for
children? Rodgers said it isn't. “Age
has nothing to do with it,” he said.
“Older people enjoy finding the
child within themselves.”

Rodgers said that five years ago
when he directed this same play at
UK, it attracted a mixed audience.
“It was 50-50 with older and younger
people,” Rodgers said. And he ex-
pects a similar turnout this year.

“There's a child in all of us.”
Rodgers continued. "A lot of college
students enjoy seeing performaces
like this. It's like going to see a Walt
Disney film . . . and reliving child-
hood memories”

Walt Disney does offer good fami-
ly entertainment. And that‘s what

the UK Theater Department does
each season with one of its produc-
tions.

“Every year we do a family
play," Rodgers said. “And this one
isagood way to start the holidays."

Rodgers has made some changes
in the musical since its original pub-
lication.

“Owl now has his own song which
was added five years ago when it
was last performed at UK.” Rodg-
ers said. He also added a character
('l‘igger The Tiger) for a total of 10.
“He’s so well-loved and people al-
ways ask where figger is," Rodgers
said. “So I decided to add him."

Rodgers believes that when A.A.
Milne wrote the original Winniethe-
Pooh. he intended it to be for both
adults and children. “(Milne) added
some subtlety for the adults’ enjoy-
ment," Rodgers said. And Rodgers
created his Christmas version of
Winnie-the-Pooh with that idea in
mind.

Rodger‘s version takes place on
what better occasion than Christmas
Eve. It is about Eeyore losing his
tail (again?), and his friends try to
help him find it in time to enjoy
Christmas. Through the course of
the search, Eeyore surprisingly
finds out he does have friends ——

help him.

Rodgers said the main point is “to
give a little, care a lot." He hopes to
convey the idea of changing worry-
ing about oneself, which is Eeyore‘s
preoccupation, to thinking of others,
which is what Eeyore‘s friends do.

Brian Holman, the play's director
and a UK theater student, said the
characters perform 14 songs involv-
ing the spirit of Christmas —
friendship, teamwork and helping
others.

“These are topics we want to em-
phasize to children,“ Holman said.

Teacher evaluations
needed to help UK’s
national standing

The Student Government Association made one of its
most important moves of the year at its Nov. 18 meeting.

By an overwhelming margin, SGA voted to publish tea-
cher evaluations by students.

SGA has talked about publishing teacher evaluations for
a long time, but for one reason or another, nothing had
ever been done.

Teacher evaluation forms will be distributed to students
in the first week of December. Teachers will be ranked
from “poor“ to “superior,“ based on the instructor’s com-
munication skills, knowledge of subject, concern for stu-
dents and fairness.

Results will be published before the Fall 1988 registra-
tion next spring.

During SGA President Cyndi Weaver‘s campaign, one
of her pledges was to establish teacher evaluations. We
congratulate her, along with Carl Baker, a member of the
SGA Academic Affairs Committee, for bringing the issue
to the forefront.

UK needs to publish teacher evaluations because stu-
dents have a right to know what type of instructor they will
have when they enroll in a class.

We hope SGA’s decision will prompt the adminstration
to list more names of teachers instead of the traditional
“staff“ listing.

UK President David Roselle has talked about making
UK a university comparable to a Michigan or Virginia. But
unless something is done to ensure that professors are
doing their job. UK will remain a mediocre, state institu-
tion.

We encourage faculty not to take teacher evaluations as
a criticism, but as a way to ensure that UK will become a

Death in the woods

However, unless students take the evaluations seriously
instead of a way to attack a professor whose class they did
poorly in, the $13,000 SGA spent will have been wasted.

Superpowers’ conflict
like battle of feminists

I‘ve been thinking a lot lately
about feminism and strategic de-
fense. In their ideal states, these two
have a lot in common.

For years, women have been bat-
tling for equality with men, assert-
ing they are just as good or better
than men They have claimed they
are more capable. more intelligent,
more everything.

And although men claim to be
changing, to be becoming more ac-
cepting in their attitudes toward
women. they are still reinforcing
their socalled “superior" position in
various subtle ways.

This battle of the sexes seems to
me to be a small-scale version of the
Cold War that has been going on be-
tween the United States and the So-
viet Union for a long time. Too long.

The United States gets a thousand
more short-range nuclear missiles.
sticks out its tongue at the Soviets
and sneers. "nah~nah-nah. I‘ve got
more toys than you." Then the Sovi-
ets get another hundred cruise mis-
siles and respond with a similar
phrase in Russian. As they say.
“Whoever dies with the most toys,
wins.“

This striving to excel each other in
terms of nuclear arsenals is. in ef-
fect. the same struggle that is going
on between women and men. each
striving for a superior position in so-
ciety.

They‘re similar except for the fact
that the stakes are higher in the nu»
clear game — complete destruction
of the world. But as one of my dear
professors would say. “That compli-
cates the issue." Death has a ten-
dency to do that.

To get to the point — which is al-
ways a good thing to get to eventual»
ly —— I don‘t think women. feminists.

men. I consider myself a feminist,
but if that means I will end up like
Ronald Reagan 0r Mikhail Gorba-
chev, playing a deadly game of
world domination, I will gladly dis-
card the title.

As feminists, women should at-
tempt to establish their position in
the world as improvers. My hope is
that when women achieve more and
more positions of world leadership,
they will be so busy dealing with im-
portant issues like hunger, poverty
and terrorism that they won‘t have
time to play games with each other.

Actually. the Strategic Defense
Initiative. Star Wars, is the first
truly feminist action President Rea-
gan has taken. I know that to use
“feminist" and “Reagan“ in the
same sentence is slightly amusing,
but SDI is a way of saying “Let‘s do
something different "

Although SDI will never complete-
ly end the nuclear arms race. I
think Reagan‘s initial vision was one
of improving the world situation. As
he said in his famous, or infamous
as the case may be. 1983 Star Wars
speech_.__

What will actually come of this, I
don‘t know. But I think the very fa
