ESTABLISHED 1894

Wanted:

By Alison Kight
Stafan‘ier

As the future of T.A.Jones’ presidency remains in
doubt, the committee investigating his alleged
wrongdoings wants people with infonnation to come
forward.

“I think there are people who know thin s — bad
things —— that haven’t spoken up,” said Heat er Hen-
nel, Student Government Association Senate pro
tempore. “Our job as a committee is to find these
people and get them to come forward.”

The committee was established Wednesday night
to look into charges that Jones has misused funds,
lied to the Senate and sexually harassed women.

The committee, proposed by Senator at Large
Shea Chaney, also will investigate charges that SGA
Vice President Benny Ray Bailey is not doing his job.

Hennel, who is coordinating the committee, said
the group probably will hold its ﬁrst meeting Sunday
night at 8 to set an agenda, elect a chairman and split
up duties. Hennel doesn’t expect the committee to
make a decision until the next full Senate meeting

  

Nov. 2. Hennel said the committee “can take as long
as they want.”

The allegation on misuse of funds
stems mainly from Jones’ spending on
T-shirts for the UK-Louisville foot—
ball game bonﬁre. Jones admitted to
spending $3,300 of his personal SGA
honorarium on the shirts, although
the Senate only allocated him $2,500.

Also, Hennel said $500 was report-
ed missin from the sale of the shirts.
Within t e past two weeks, Hennel
said, the money has been accounted for.

“The money was missing, then when (allegations)
came u , all of the sudden the money reappeared,"
she said?

Hennel said she thinks three to nine women have
ﬁled sexual harassment charges against Jones to Stu-
dent Center director Frank Harris. However, Harris
said last night that no direct complaints have been
ﬁled with his ofﬁce.

“There have been people who have said they know
people who have been (harassed by Jones), but noth-

ing fomial,” Harris said. “I am in a dilemma. I do not
know what is fact and what is fiction."

Chaney said no ofﬁcial claims have been made
concerning Jones’ alleged lies to the Senate, but
Chaney added, “I can't think ofa promise (Jones) has
kept yet.”

Bailey has been accused of missing several meet—
ings that he was required by the SGA Constitution to
attend.

According to the SGA Constitution, Hennel
would be next in line for president ifJones and Bailey
were impeached. However, she said that will not
affect her role in the investigation.

“I really don’t have any interest in the position of
president and vice president," she said. As of last
night, the committee consisted of nine senators.
Hennel said the committee, made u ) of both Jones’
supporters and opponents, will be unbiased.

“I think the committee we have now is about half
and half," Hennel said. “(The committee members)
are the people interested in getting the truth."

Jones said he is unsure the committee can remain
unbiased. “VVe’ll have to wait and see,”Jones said.

TEL AVIV, Israel — As anguished Israelis

‘tluiet' Adkins leads sororities

Pnnhellenic
president :goes

where nee ed’

By Alison Kloht
Staff Writer

If you askjulie Adkins whether
she does a ood job as president of
the Panheﬁenic Council, she will
probably blush,
shrug and try to
downplay her suc-
cess.

“I'm really laid
back,” she says
with a smile.

The truth is, .‘

ifﬁcult job with a -
skill that has war- Adkms
ranted praise from her co-worker
Jonathan Bruser, president of the
Interfraternity Council.

“Julie is one of the most level-
headed peo le that I have ever
met,” he said? “She makes incredi—
bly smart decisions.”

As president of Panhellenic,
Adkins' duties include leading a
representative body consisting of
two delegates from each sorority.
The council deals with issues
affecting sorority life on campus
and also acts as a liaison with the
IFC to plan programs for the
entire greek system. Adkins’ posi-
tion is a two—year duty.

Last ear she was president—
elect andshadowed former presi—
dent Debra Williams. The Pan-
hellenic presidency is a rotating
ofﬁce, and each sorority chapter
has a turn to elect someone.

Adkins was chosen by her

increase may be proposed. Cox
said the increase should be only a
“single-digit” percentage.

“We want (the protest) to be
the biggest and best thing that has
happened since Vietnam,” Avi
Weitzman, executive director of
academic affairs said.

“We should show how much

wer we have.”

Aja’s idea for the protest came
when he heard the CHE said it is
going to increase tuition again.

“ ur focus is to turn on the
heat to the state legislatures to
make them stop cutting hi her
education,” SGA president .A.
Jones said.

SGA plans to spread the word
around to every student organiza—
tion on campus. The message also
will be spread within UK’s resi—

Ka pa Delta sisters to ﬁll the
of ce this year.

Adkins, who has been in a
sorority since her freshman year,
emphasizes the value of the greek
system.

“It’s not an elitist group like
people think it is,” she said. “It’s a
great way to meet people and take
on leadership roles within your
house.”

Adkins, a 21—year-old senior,
had been an English major until
she recently made a switch to
UK’s physician’s assistant pro-
gram. She wants to work in rural
areas because they have a shortage
of primary-care givers.

“I’d like to go where I’m need—
ed,” she said.

Adkins said she is sometimes
surprised when she takes a step
back and looks at

We should all realize that we have
common goals.”

One idea that Adkins is
attempting to implement with
Bruser is to establish a series of
discussion lectures for all greek
students interested in becoming
ofﬁcers for Panhellenic and IFC.

The transition phase needs to
be easier because too much time is
spent allowing new officers to get
used to their positions, Adkins
said.

Adkins also said she has a lot of
support in her position from Brus-
er, who often works with her on
projects.

“(Bruser) is a really ood IFC
president, with great i eas,” she
said.

She also cites Assistant Dean of
Students Susan West, who serves

SGA members want everyone
involved, not just students, Aja
said.

They also want the faculty,
administration and staff members
to help support the protest.

Along with UK students partic—
ipating in the rally, SGA also
wants at least five students from
Lexington Community College
and more from other public col-
leges to come and protest against
the possible tuition increase.

Some SGA senators said the
rally will give students their first
opportunity to take an active part
in CHE’S policy.

“It’s a good chance for students
to make a stand,” Senator at Large
Whitney Hale said.

“Unless they want to pay the
price of a rivate school, when it’s
a pul‘lic school.”

“Eve body is always complain-
ing,” Co lege of Fine Arts Senator
Chris Vance said.

“Tuition goes up every year
and nobod says anything or does
anything al‘iout it. We believe this
is the time to speak.”

In other council action last
night, council members approved
the first readin of an ordinance
issuing $41 mi lion in bonds to
pay for the library project.

The council requires a second
reading before passing an ordi—
nance that allocates funds.

DeBin said the ordinance’s sec-
ond reading is slated for the coun-
cil meeting Nov. 3. If the bond
issue is approved at that meeting
by a majority vote, bonds sales
may begin.

survey to begin a mass marketing
campaign for bus service to cam-
pus.

Yesterday’s announcement
came two days after UK said it
would close major parking areas
Sunday night around Clifton Cir-
cle to begin construction on the
Central and Life Sciences Library.

However, UK Vice President
for University Relationsjoe Burch
dispelled questions that the bus
systems represent a “heightened
sense-of urgency” because of the
library construction.

“As everyone knows (parking) is
a continual battle,” Burch said.
“Change is upon us. Many
large universities like ours have
come to this point.”

Students should choose the bus
over their own method of trans—
portation, Burch said, because a
regular bus schedule is convenient
for students and is more friendly
to the environment than cars.

Electronic installations and
telecommunication events are a
genre in which the artist Eduardo
Kac has gotten international
recognition.

His ﬁrst exhibit in I.exing«
ton, titled “Dialogues," starts
today at the Center for Contem—
porary Art.

This time there will be noth-
ingr hanging on the walls, ready to
be contemplated.

Actually, there will be no
passive viewers either. The visitors
to the gallery must be participants
in order to see the exhibit, and
everybody’s experience will be
unique and unpredictable.

“It is not me, but participants

Not only will they able to
operate the robot, located in
Chicago, but they also should
learn to cooperate and understand
each other without having an
opportunity to communicate ver-
bally.

“My art is mostly about peo-
ple and communication between
them," said Kac, whose works
were shown in North and South
America, Europe, Australia and
the Middle East. ~

“Yet it does not define coin—
munication, it sets questions about
it. It actually questions the very

Righteous conjures up strange
visions of the 19705 and all that

Despite Dag, I still have a

The album begins with
“Sweet Little Lass,” a seini~com«

and organ sequence similar to the
Beastie Boys, circa Cheek Your

promising as the band whines,
“Sweet little lass."

I don’t know what Dag is try

In interactive art, a viewer is
expected not to consume, but par—
ticipate to in the creation of a
work of art.

“I am sure that the future
belongs to interactive art, where a
viewer is required to choose,
decide, act and interact,” Kac said.

The artist's way to art was
not a direct one. He was a poet
and a traveling actor in his teens,
growing up in Rio de Janeiro. He
studied communications in college
and mastered holography by him—

that he set up himself.

He was one of the first who
attempted to work in electronic
installations and telepresence
events. His interests eventually led
him to Chicago, where he worked
on his advanced degree in arts stu-
dio, specializing in arts and tech-
nology.

Now, he teaches two arts stu-
dio classes at UK and is working
on developing the new media pro-
gram.

“This program will be com-
prised ofoptical and digital holog-
raphy, the whole spectrum of
computer arts, video and telecom—
munications," Kac said. “The goal
is to make students technically
proficient as well as well informed
in new development in field ofart,

so they will be able to work in new
art forms.“

Kac believes the program
may become one of the best in the
country.

“Ornitorrinco in Eden" and
“Dialogical Drawing" can be seen
one day each, this coming Sunday
and Wednesday respectively.
“Essay Concerning Human Corti-
munication” starts Tuesday.
“Elastic Fax," which starts today,
will run through Wednesday.

Part of the exhibit may be
experienced through the Internet.
