Wethington aff’rms search, his candidacy

By GREGORY A. HALL
Senior Staff Writer

Despite student and faculty reso-
lutions against the presidential
search, interim President Charles
Wethington said the apparent divi-
sions on'campus would not inhibit
his abilities to be UK’s 10th presi—
dent.

In his campus visit yesterday.
Wethington denied allegations that
the search, which has made him a fi-
nalist, was flawed. He responded by
saying that the media reports may
be the reason two of the four final-
ists dropped out of the process.

The other finalist, Peggy Gordon

Elliott. visits campus today.

Wethington said, if selected, he
would not hold grudges against fa-
culty and staff who have said the
search should be reopened.

“I try not to take things personal-
ly,” Wethington said at a press con~
ference. “My style is not to look
back a lot."

Wethington said he was not sur-
prised by the University Senate’s
resolution disavowing the search
and that he expected opposition to
the search. And despite the faculty
frustrations, Wethington contended
that he has a good relationship with
them.

“I think I’ve got an excellent rela-

tionship with the faculty and have
had for some time." he said.

According to faculty trustee Caro-
lyn Bratt, who abstained from meet—
ing Wethington in support of the
senate resolution, only two of 20 in-
vited main campus faculty attended.

Yesterday morning the Student
Government Association. meeting
in an emergency session. passed two
similar resolutions.

The major resolution. which
passed I2-10, called for a new
search and a new interim president
who would not be a candidate for
the presidency.

Senator at Large Ashley Boyd
said that the Board of Trustees

needs to know “that the University
of Kentucky students are not willing
to play games with the search or our
education."

Some senators argued that a new
search would only further divide the
University and produce Wethington
as a finalist.

“It’s only going to create more
tension on campus and we don't
need that,” Senator at Large Sean
Coleman said.

While some argued that a protest
now is too late, others said better
now than never.

“If we don’t try to get the search
reopened we’re selling ourselves
short again," Senator at Large Allen

Putman said.

Some at the meeting felt Wething-
ton’s relationship with Gov. Wal-
lace Wilkinson assured Wethington
the UK presidency.

“The president of the University
of Kentucky is selected when Wal-
lace Wilkinson is chosen governor,"
Arts & Sciences Senator John Mid-
dleton said in opposing the resolu-
tion.

Later at a press conference, Weth-
ington said a relationship with the
g0vcmor was a requirement for a
successful presidency.

Wethington, who called his
friendship with Wilkinson an asset.
said his relationship with this gov-

ernor is not unique, citing strong ties
to former governors and the General
Assembly.

“I've got an excellent relationship
with fonner governors and I hope to
have an excellent relationship with
future governors," Wethington said.

Wethington first met with admin-
istrators at the Hilary J. Boone Fa-
culty Club yesterday morning, fol-
lowed by a meeting with about 19
faculty members, which included
only two faculty members from the
main campus. The rest of the faculty
members were from the community
college system,

UK task force finishes
study on waste habits

By APRIL PHILLIPS
Contributing Writer

A waste management task force
committee has completed a yearlong
study of L'K’s waste disposal habits
over the main campus. hospital. I'L‘\'I*
dencc halls. and cafeterias.

The task force found that I'K‘s
main campus dcporits 5.000 tons of
garbage into the Lexington-Fayette
County Govcmmcnt landfill per
year. This is enough trash to fill
10,000 half—ton pickup trucks.

The food services produce nearly
I0.000 pounds of waste per year
68 percent plastic. 11 percent foam.
8 percent aluminum inot including
beverage cans). Nearly three million
soft drinks in aluminum cans were
sold. totalling to approxrmately 5-1
tons of aluminum.

There are I42 dumpsters on cam»
pus that are emptied 2.6 times a
week into the landfill. This costs
UK over 8130.000 a year.

The study recommends establish-
ment of a comprehensive plan to en-
surc sound environmental practices
in the disposal and recycling of
waste generated by 'LIK. The study
has been sent to interim President
Charles Wethington for further ac
tion.

The study. written by a II—
member task force representing all
sectors of the University. offers sev-
eral recommendations.

Governments struggle with Gulf issues

By JOCELYN NOVECK
Associated Press

G0vernments around the world
grappled yester—
day with issues
of aid. trade and
the rescue of
their citizens
from the Persian
Gulf nearly six
weeks after Iraq
plunged the re-
gion into crisis
by invading Ku-
wajL BUSH

Japan sought to defuse criticism
that it is not doing its share in the
faceoff against Baghdad. announc-
ing that it may send $2 billion in aid
to nations most severely affected by
the UN. embargo on Iraq.

The first of the developing nations
to respond to Saddam Hussein’s of-
fer of free oil — in exchange for
sending their own tankers to get it
- said no to the Iraqi leader.

But Cuba and Romania have
struck oil deals with Iraq and com—
panies elsewhere are trying to con-
tinue trade with Baghdad. all in defi-
ance of UN. sanctions, according to
a State Department survey.

The repon, made available to The
Associated Press, said some Eastern
European countries also are trying to
keep up their military sales to Iraq.

President Bush prepared to ad-
dress a joint session of Congress last
night. and aides said he would seek
support for his decision to send
more than 100,000 troops to the gulf
region to deter a possible Iraqi inva-
sion of Saudi Arabia.

They said he would follow his ad-
dress with a televised message for
the Iraqi people. declaring that the
world is united against their govem-
ment's invasion of Kuwait. Saddam

had offered Bush time on Iraqi TV.

Secretary of State James A. Baker
III, meanwhile, met in Moscow
with Soviet Foreign Minister Edu-
ard Shevardnadze, following the
U.S.-Soviet summit that produced a
joint demand that Iraq withdraw
from Kuwait.

In other developments:

-A US. diplomat in Baghdad said
yesterday up to 800 Americans and
Britons will fly out of Iraqi-
occupied Kuwait this week. most of
them women and children leaving
their husbands behind. Saddam has
said he is keeping foreign men as
human shields against attack.

On Monday, a plancload of 164
Westerners arrived in Baltimore
from Iraq. Evacuees spoke of food
shortages in Kuwait, nighttime gun-
fire and Iraqi roundups of young
people suspected of involvement in
the resistance.

“There is no law and order," said
Thuraya. 19. who would not give
her last name. “A soldier can rape a
father‘s daughter in front of him
and he can‘t do anything about it.”

-The State Depanment said Iraq
told US. officials that American
males residing in Iraq and Kuwait
who were born in Arab c0untries
will be allowed to leave. Iraq gener—
ally has not let American males
leave. It was not known how many
men the Iraqi move could affect

To better increase student
awareness of the United States’
involvement in the Middle East
Crisis. a forum will be held to-
night in room 230 Student Center.
The forum, entitled “Middle East
Conflict: A Forum on Iraqi/United
States Relations,” is designed to
help focus faculty and student at-
tention back on the crisis.

“This is very significant and
very important and I can't under-
stand why the students as well as
the faculty are not interested,"
said Robert Olson. a history pro-
fessor. “People don’t understand
that the US. is more inextricably
involved in the Middle East than
ever before."

 

Forum to increase student, faculty awareness

Olson hopes to increase aware-
ness and knowledge among those
at UK by emphasizing the extent
of the United States' involvement
and how the involvement will imo
pose a preventative regional secur-
ity operation in the Middle East.

Olson conducted a forum enti-
tled “American Foriegn Policy in
the Middle East: A Crisis within a
Crisis" to about 40 faculty mem-
bers yesterday in the Peal Gallery
and hopes to establish a continu-
ing lecture series.

Alan Creech. president of So-
cially Concerned Students and one
of the sponsors of the program,
said that the program has several
sponsors to that the lecture series
can continue to cover other press-
ing topics.

One of the issues that Creech

hopes to explore with tonight‘s
lecture is the historical back-
ground of the crisis.

"The Middle East is a mysteri—
ous and complex area that a lot of
people don’t know anything
about,” Creech said. “They need
to be informed of the history of
the land before they can under-
stand the implications of what is
happening now.”

Creech hopes to delve into such
topics as Saddam Hussein's histor-
ical claim to Kuwait as well as the
longstanding British influence in
the Middle East.

“We need to explore the histori-
cal. social. cultural and political
aspects of the crisis as well as in-
form the entire campus of issues
relative to the Middle East,"
Creech said.

The task force. which has been

Sampras leads youth

UK volleyball team
snaps Wright State

By BRIAN JENT
Managing Editor

UK volleyball coach Kathy De-
Boer said she'd use different rota-
tions in the early season to deter-
mine what group of players worked
together best.

She backed her promise last night
as the Wildcats beat Wright State
University in four games, using a
combination of lineups.

“We are still tinkering with our
lineup,” DeBoer said after a 15-10.
15-7, 13-15, 15-11 victory. “We are
trying to find the right combina-
tion.”

The win raised the UK record to
5-2 while dropping the Wright State
Red Raiders to 5-3.

“I think Kentucky had more of an
arsenal to use." Wright State coach
Linda Schoenstedt said. “They used
a lot of different players.”

All but one Wildcat player —
walk-on freshman Karen Schwartz
—— saw action during the victory.

However, DeBoer was pleased
with the way the other four UK
freshmen handled the pressure situa-
tions last night at Memorial Coli-
seum.

“Our freshman class is very tal~
ented," DeBoer said. “However,
they still tend to make those mis-
takes. But I can accept them be-
cause they are aggressive mistakes.”

Even with the mistakes, the fresh-

men numbers were not that bad.

Betsie Aldridge had 14 kills and
assisted in blocking four shots.
Meanwhile, Eunice Thomas contrib-
uted six kills along with one solo
block and two block assists.

Carin Zielinski. who is a regular
starter, added 15 kills to the impres-
sive freshman totals.

DeBoer used freshman Jane Be-
langer to replace senior Laura Lind-
er after the second game with the
Cats holding a 2—0 game lead.

“I played Jane because l want to
see how she will run our offense.
She will be the one who runs our
team after Laura is gone,” DeBoer
said. “I left her in after we lost the
third game to see how she would
handle the pressure. I think she
did quite well."

Even though DeBoer had to take
Belanger out before the fourth game
was over, the freshman compiled a
total of 19 assists while only com-
mitting one error.

“They did a great job,” All-
American candidate Linder said.
“They need a little more experience
but everybody needs a little more
experience."

UK will next see action when it
plays the University of Notre Dame
Friday night at the Big Four Classic
in Bloomington, lnd.

movement in tennis

There was 19-year-old Pete Sarn-
pras smacking 120 mile-per-hour
serves on the fast deco turf II sur-
face at the US. Open.

And there was 20-year-old Andre
Agassi watching the ball go by with-
out flinching and walking defeated—
ly to the next point

It wasn't the most competitive
tennis match of the year. Sampras
swept Agassi with seeming case.

But it was an exciting day for
American men’s tennis. The match
signified that a new breed of Ameri-
can tennis players had arrived.

American tennis players seemed
to go into hiding in the mid to late
’80s, as the Swedes, the West Ger-
mans and the Czechs began produc-
ing the best men's players in the
world.

From 1985 to 1989, no American
won the US. Open and the elder
statesmen of American tennis went
into decline.

This was a far cry from the period
where Jimmy Connors and John
McEnroe won eight U.S. Opens in
nine years.

Instead the Wilanders, the Lendls,
the Edbergs and the Beckers domi-
nated the sport.

There had been glimmers of hope
for American tennis in the past year
or two, but now the glimmer is an
intense light that won’t be dimmed
anytime soon.

Here’s a brief look at the young
players who are fueling the hopes
for the future.

a complete game and a US. Open
under his belt. He has a big serve, a
good return of serve and a lethal
forehand. His second serve, which
comes across the net at 90 miles an
hour, is better than most players’
first serve.

~Andre Agassi — In the past he’s
been a labeled a choker. It was true,
of course, but that's irrelevant now.
He has now established consistency
in his game, which emphasizes
ground strokes and court speed.

He reached the finals of the
French and the US Open and even—
tually will win a big one.

-Michael Chang — He became
the youngest French Open Champi-
on last year, but proved he has the
mental toughness to compete in any
Grand Slam.

-David Wheaton — He has a lot
of the tools Pete Sampras does, in-
cluding a booming serve and a dev-
astating forehand.

He was won some tournaments
and will eventually climb into the
top 5 or 10 players in the world

All of these players have youth
(all are under the age of 20), and all
have sheer athleticism on their side.
In the past the best American ath-
letes didn’t play tennis.

McEnroe and Connors won, but
were never great athletes. Connors
won with mental toughness, and
McEnroe with incredible hand-eye
coordination.

These new players — Sampras,
Agassi, Chang and Wheaton — rep-
resent a trend of athleticism and
youth that will carry American
men’s tennis into the ”905.

THE ANCIENT eERMAN 600
OF TINY WHEELED VEHicLEs

Assistant Ans Editor

Everything was okay for the first
few minutes. The four-member cast
of the Lexington Actors' Guild pro-
duction “Bum This” had assembled
at ArtsPlace for an interview.

Signs of the abnormal didn’t
creep up until the touching started.

“It’s time for intimacy exercises,"
Director David Tillman said as the
cast members stretched out on the
wooden floors.

Tillman and the four-member cast
massaged each other's arms and
hands. Hugs were exchanged as
well as jokes and friendly comrad-
ery.

Tillman later explained that these
exercises were used for the mem-
bers and crew to become accus-
tomed to everyone's touch. This is

 

just one way that Tillman’s cast in-
tegrate to make the Lanford Wilson
play spark with life and realism.

“It’s a love story between oppo-
sites" was Tillman's description of
the play.

Anna, played by Leslie Beatty, is
a young dancer who is devastated
by the sudden death of her gay male
roommate. Anna eventually falls for
the older brother of the dead man.

Beatty leaned against the stairwell
smoking a cigarette and trying her
best to ignore the recorder as she an-
swered questions. Despite her ef-
forts, though, she is self-conscious
as she begins to talk about her char-
acter.

“She has had a really isolated
life," Beatty said. “But suddenly
she's 30 years old and she realizes
it’s time to make a change in her
life.

“She makes a big change in her
life and I guess she decides to take a
chance."

Beany's character is not the only
one taking a chance in “Burn This".
This play seems to be unconvention-
al and unpretentious, something un-
usual for most plays. Yet, despite all
this, Tillman and the rest of the cast
— Vic Chaney, Jeffrey Sauer, and
Anthony G. Thomberry — are rea-
listic and down-to-eanh during re-
hearsals.

What’s really interesting about
this play is that although it does in-
directly deal with both gay and het-
erosexual lifestyles, the back of the
script book proclaims that “Bum

‘Burn This’ cast unusual enough for play

This" is meant to be a play about the
universal concept of love, not a sin-
gle lifestyle.

Tillman's play opens the l990-91
season of Actors’ Guild of Lexing-
ton. A champagne reception imme-
diately follows the opening night
performance this Thursday.

“Burn This" will be shown at Art—
sPlace. 161 N. Mill St. at 8 pm. on
Sept. 13-15, 20-22, and 27~29. Tic/t-
ets are $6 for students and senior
citizens and general admission is
$10. Call 233-0663 to order by
phone or purchase them at the Ac-
tors" Guild offices on the fourth
floor of ArtsPlace from 11 a.m. to 1
pm. Monday through Friday.

Campus must
continue push
for reopening

The Student Government Association Senate passed two res-
olutions yesterday that sent contradictory messages to the Uni-

versity community.

One resolution essentially echoed the one passed Monday by
the University Senate, calling for a new presidential search to
be conducted and not allowing the interim president to be a

candidate.

It also encouraged Wethington to step down as interim presi-

dent and to re-enter the search.

The other resolution, which was passed unanimously, called
for students to withdraw their support from the search, but not
for student leaders to withdraw their participation from the

search.

In other words, the Senate does not support the search, but it

wants to be a pan of it.

It is confusing why the Senate did not see the contradiction
and the consequences of their actions.

By itself, the resolution supporting the faculty stance was a
strong statement by Senators that the University’s long-term in-
terest are best served by reopening the search.

The other resolution, however, appears to say that the Senate
thinks the presidential search does not need reopening.

And by participation in the search, the Senate inherently legi-
timizes the search process that they said was flawed in the oth-

er resolution.

The end result of this double speak, unfortunately, is that the

student voice is watered down.

Rather than having one voice speaking for it, the student
body now has conflicting messages being sent to the Board of
Trustees, which, in effect. means that students have little
chance of being heard between now and Tuesday, when the
Board of Trustees is expected to name UK’s 10th president.

Student leaders should take a cue from the University Senate
by taking a solid stand in the name of principles.

Those who argue that one must acknowledge the political re-
alities pushing the University must understand that as one Uni-
versity Senate member remarked Monday, it is about time that
someone stood up for what they believe in and stop responding
to the tugs and pulls of the political puppeteers in Frankfort.

Today, Peggy Gordon Elliott will be the second candidate to

meet the University community.

Although she should be received warmly by the campus, the
community must continue to press for the presidential search to

be reopened.

The University’s future hinges on it.

he entering of Iraqi troops in
I Kuwait has attracted world-
wide attention. Particularly,
the United States has reacted strong-
ly to the action. The Bush adminis-
tration sent American troops and
weapons to Saudi Arabia. The Iraqi
military movement and the exces-
sive reaction of the United States
has given a new turn to the Middle
East

There are two different responses
to the recent developments. Ques-
tions arising about the background
of the crisis are why Iraq’s military
crossed the Kuwait border and why
the United States reacted so exces-
sively.

There are three reasons why Iraqi
troops attacked Kuwait.

First. Kuwait violated oil quota
production that had been agreed on
by members of OPEC. This viola-
tion was conducted by supplying
and selling quota — excessive oil to
its close Western allies.

Tint action inflicted not only a
loss to OPEC members but also to
Iraq in pmicular, who is the world‘s

 

largest oil—producer after Saudi Ara-
bia. (Iraq has more than 24 percent
of the world‘s oil reserves.)

Iraq depends on oil for 95 percent
of its export revenues. Therefore, it
is understandable, according to
some UK students we interviewed,
that the Iraq-Kuwait dispute turned
into military conflict because Ku-
wait did not wish to solve the prob-
