By Stephen Trimble

Senior Staff H’riter

()pponents ofseveral proposals to reform federal
student aid won the help of U.S. President Bill Clin-
ton yesterday.

And a UK student apparently was at his side.

UK student Alison Crabtree met with Clinton
yesterday morning to lobby against cuts on the Fed—
eral Direct Lending program, Student Government
Association President Shea Chaney said.

Crabtree, the executive director of External
Affairs for the National Association of Students for
Higher Education, was part of a contingent of about
a dozen students who met with Clinton at the Uni—
versity of Southern Illinois.

Crabtree could not be reached for comment as of
press time last night. She is expected to return to UK
today.

Details of Clinton's meeting also were not avail-
able yesterday, Chaney said.

The meeting occurred on the first day of “Save
Student Aid \Veek,” which was declared yesterday by
Clinton and several national student or ranizations.

Budget proposals in Congress couldbnake federal
loans more than $8.9 billion more expensive to
receive and pay back, said a news release from the
White House yesterday.

At his speech on the Illinois campus, Clinton flatly
declared his support for the loan programs.

“These proposals are a direct attack on our
nation’s students and our nation's future," Clinton
said.

“If Congress approves these changes, the dream of
a college education will become a financial nightmare
for many young people and their parents.”

Currently, more than 7,100 UK students receive
federal loans to help pay tuition costs, the news

release said.

The proposals, which include eliminating the six-
month post-school grace period and increasing the
origination fee on new loans by one percent, are due
to be decided by Congress later this month.

National student organizations have asked campus
leaders across the country to launch protests this
week and hold teach-ins for students.

Nothing is planned for L'K’s campus, Chaney
said.

But, SGA delegates will address the Kentucky
Advocates for Higher Education at its meeting in
Lexington on Monday, Chaney said.

Another UK student, Adam Edelen, president of
the Kentucky Young Democrats, has challenged
Republican candidate for governor, Larry Porgy, to
speak out against the proposals for federal student
loan reform.

Sigma Chi Derby Days, an
annual weeklong fundraiser for
the UK social fraternity, was can—
celled because of a probation vio~
lation.

Dean of Students Dan'd Stock-
ham said Derby Days has been
cancelled for this year. He said
the week of events was cancelled
because of a “violation of proba-
tionary status.“

Stockham said the investiga-
tion into a Sept. 4 incident involv—
ing the fraternity is continuing.

Thirty Sigma Chi pledges
allegedly broke into the Delta
Delta Delta social sorority house
in an attempt to steal the sorori-
ty's composite.

Michael Pence, 19, of Bland-
ing 1, was charged with disorderly
conduct, and another iledge, a
minor was charged wit posses»
sion ofalcohol by a minor.

The Tri~Delt house mother
was injured in the incident, and a
police officer who fell while chas-
ing the pledges was also injured.

“It's tragic that we had it can—
celled this late, biit we are taking
$1,500 out of our budget to Chil-
dren’s Miracle Network telethon
“ because we think it is important,"
Sigma Chi social fraternity presi-
dentJohn Lynch said.

The week of events was set to
begin today and continue until
Saturday. In addition to the dona-

tion, Lynch said that 35 Sigma
(lbi members worked at the Blues
Festival last weekend and half of
the money was given to the char—
ity.

“\Ve really need sororities‘
support in buying the T—shirts
and the Derby day deal," Lynch
said.

The Domino‘s Derby Days
Deal will continue until Saturday,
Lynch said. Domino's on Euclid
is offering a special pizza deal for
people who ask for the Derby
Day Deal, for every deal sold
Domino's will donate $1 to the
telethon in Sigma Chi's name.

“Counting on that we sell all
the T—shirts, we are losing
$4,606," Lynch said.

The money had already been
paid to reserve locations for the
events, Lynch said.

UK Police Chief \V. H.
McComas said that the police
investigation into the incident is
also continuing.

The Dean of Students office
asked all people who were a party
to the incident to provide written
statements to the office for the
investigation.

“\\'e do not want to rush the
process,” Stockham said, “to
make sure we get accurate
reports.”

McComas said the police are
inten'iewing 30 people that are
believed to be Sigma Chi pledges.

McComas said more charges
may be filed later this week.

Mother tiles
claim in inlant death

The mother of an infant who died of hyper-
tliermia in her father's sport—utility vehicle after
he forgot to drop her off at day care has filed a
$100,000 insurance claitn, according to a broad-
cast report yesterday.

VI'TVQ—TV in Lexington reported that Rose-
marie Booze has filed the claim on the couple’s
insurance policy.

Five—month-old Rhianon Booze Mactutus died
April 26 after being left in Charles Macmtus’
vehicle for about eight hours in a parking lot at
the UK, where he works as a researcher.

He was supposed to drop his dau thter off at
day care and did not discover that e had not
until he picked up his wife. The television station
reported that Ms. Booze claims her husband was
negligent in leaving their child in the vehicle and
says that should be covered by the insurance poli-
cv.

Enrollment increases slightly

Enrollment figures for the 1995 fall semester
show a slight increase since last year.

The total enrollment for the University sys—
tem, including the Lexington campus and the
Medical Center, was estimated at 24,435 com-
pared to 24,217 last year or a one percent
increase.

This year’s average ACT score for incoming
freshman was 24.8, which is four points above the
national average. The average score was down
one tenth of a point from 2-1.9 last year.

The total black student enrollment at the Lex-
ington Campus was estimated at 1,170. This is an
eight percent gain over last year.

Iiuinon Powell reveals views

\VASHINGTON — Retired Gen. Colin
Powell, revealing for the first time his views on
presidential campaign issues, said
he supports abortion rights, some
gun controls and the death penal—

He has no problem with a

to universities, he said in an ABC
television interview with Barbara Powell

Macllowell says weight leels sexy

NFVV YORK — Wearing some excess weight,
not silky lingerie, made Andie MacDowell feel
sexy —— really sexy —— after each of her three preg—
nancies.

Playing a pregnant mother and expecting her
third child while filming the movie “Unstrung
Heroes," MacDowell said she wished she could
have kept her extra 20 pounds on longer.

The 5-8 MacDowell, who usually weighs
about 130 pounds, thought she had a “softness”
like “that seen in old paintings” and felt “sexy in
bed making love with my husband."

Galbraith to open law oliice near campus

By Keith Haas

Contributing lVriter

UK students have returned to a cam—
pus full of new additions this semester,
including Gatewood Galbraith’s new
law office.

Galbraith’s office does not have much
to do with campus — but he does have
an affinity for UK.

“This area is my old neighborhood,
but my moving in here is 'ust serendipi—
tous happenstance," sai Galbraith, 3
Lexington lawyer famous for his support
of the legalization of marijuana. “I plan
to build a successful law firm here."

After establishing the firm, Galbraith
dam to hire students on a part-time

asis.

Born in Carlisle, Ky., Galbraith was
one of seven children, with three broth-
ers and three sisters. After moving to
Lexington in 1959, Galbraith began his
studies at Lexington Catholic High
School, but graduated from Lafayette

High School.

In 1966 he enlisted in the Marines,
only to be discharged six weeks later
after a severe asthma attack. He credits
marijuana as the cure for his ailment.

“I haven’t had problems with asthma
ever since my discovery of marijuana, 25
years ago,” Galbraith said. “It has great
medicinal purposes.”

After leaving the Marines, Galbraith
hitch-hiked around the country, travel-
ing coast to coast five times.

“I survived by doing whatever job I
could find, from migrant farm work to
selling encyclopedias,” Galbraith said.

After moving back to Lexington, Gal-
braith took part in public demonstra-
tions, 3 popu ar mode of participation at
the time.

“I chose not to be a pawn in the
hands of the government,” Galbraith
said. “So I decided to get myself a law
degree, in order to better find out what
the system was about.”

In 1971 Galbraith attended UK for

six years, four years undergraduate and
two years in graduate school. Then in
1977, he attended law school, ultimately
failing the Bar exam two times.

He returned to try again after a two

ear break, and passed the bar. He has
been practicing law since 1984.

Galbraith's inspiration to become a
lawyer stemmed from his desire to
become governor and change the laws
about hemp legalization.

“I believe the marijuana laws illus-
trate the most foolish category where
the government has overstepped its
boundaries,” Galbraith said.

This platform was Galbraith’s claim
to fame during candidacy for governor
of Kentucky in 1991. Although the
advocacy of marijuana gave him notori-
ety, it did not bring him victory.

Galbraith has many )lans for the
future. He plans to work on his firm
near campus, as well as become political-
ly involved after the election for gover-
nor in November.

Pl‘BSlllflIlt tells taculty Ill goals and problems at UK

By Jennltor Smith
Managing Editor

UK President Charles
Wethington presented his annual
address to the University Senate
yesterday with a positive tone
about new goals for the school.

.w. ........—......._....u _q a

He told the Senate, durin its
first full meetin of the 199 —96
academic year, t at this year is a
“time for optimism” and a time to
focus on the “breadth and depth
of UK’s faculty.”

However, he said that opti-
mism will not be enough to help

the University achieve its academ—
ic and research goals.

Some of the problems he said
were the “most worrisome”
included lack of state, ublic and
private funding for big er educa—
tion.

“Inadequate public support for

research dollars is not a new
thing,” he said. “It’s also crystal
clear that extra support for
research dollars is not something
we can count on.”

Brad Canon, a member of the
Senate Council who represents
the College of Arts and Sciences,
asked Wethington if the Universi-

has made any plans to “cushion
the blow of the research crunch-

es.
Wethington said he could not
name specific examples of Ions
the University has develope , but
that the administration “won't
ignore the point; we’d be foolish if
we did.”

He said that one way the facul-
ty could help prepare for the
money crunches is to tighten up
their programs.

“You have done an excellent
job getting mileage out of the
research dollars available,”
Wethington said. “But we must be
more creative and deliver our ser-
vices more efficiently and effec-

twig.”
ethington also mentioned
the need to diversify and make

Curry said.

he first time I listened to John

'Coltrane, I was disa pointed. I had this

preconceived idea oIPwhat jazz should be

and the album I started off with, A Love

Supreme, was a bit more experimental than I
expected.

So I listened to the album again. I have been
a Coltrane fanatic ever since.

Trane sound has this feel about it that,
when you hear him soar on
those tenor sax lines, it lifts you
up and sets you back down on
your butt. He has such a raw
emotion and pure feelin about
him that one second e will
have you jumping up with joy
and the next you’ll be so down
that only another shout from
that horn can bring you back

Am to the album a second time or
Editor even ventured out of the rock

V section in the record store to

pick up the CD? I took a chance and it paid
off. I found a performer that I can connect
with on an intimate level and enjoy.

This year the Student Activities Board is
allowing students to take a chance, to expand
their musical knowledge and learn new ways of
expressing themselves in the New World
Music, Next Stage and Spotlight Jazz Series.
Each series features some of the best musicians
and dancers in the world, all of whom are well-
known to people who follow the arts.

When VVynton Marsalis comes to UK this
month, he will bring with him accolades from
all over the world. An all-around great musi-
cian, Marsalis is known almost as well for his
classical recordings as his jazz. But it is his
approach to jazz that earned Marsalis the repu-
tation as an innovator and living legend.

You could pretty much say the same thing
for every other performer that SAB is brin "rig
to campus. The line-up reads like a 0’5
\Vho of musicians: Kronos Quartet, Charlie
Haden, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Ravi
Shankar, Philobulus and Chick Corea. Every
show is a major coup for the SAB, which
deserV es so much credit for its hard work and
great success.

David Craycraft, president of SAB,
explained what the organization looks for
when deciding what groups to schedule.

“\Vith this series, we’re trying to give the
students a chance to experience something
new. College is about education.”

Craycraft also said that the group would
have to be entertaining before inviting them
would even be considered.

\Vhich brings us to the point of the situa-
tion. A group doesn’t have to be popular to be
good and popular groups aren’t necessarily

 

 

 

Just because Hootie and the Blowfish get
played on local stations every IS minutes
doesn’t make them the next Beatles, it just
means that the group’s songs are catchy and
have hooks.

What if Hootie's next album sucks? They
will be in the same league with Poison and
Motley Crue, bands that everyone denies lis—
tening to, but everyone did. Could you turn on
a radio in 1987 and not hear Bon Jovi’s “You
Give Love a Bad Name?”

You may say that you‘ve never heard of any
of these people before, and if they are so good
why haven’t you ever seen or heard of them?
That’s your own fault. I know it is easier to sit
back and watch the little commercials that
MTV calls “videos,” but to go out and learn
about new bands, to see new groups, can take
time and effort.

It all comes down to the distinction between
popular entertainment and art. Popular music
can be listened to by anyone; it is usually verv

to figure out.

Art, on the other hand, can be and usually is
very difficult to comprehend. Art should try to
achieve a true representation of life through
the medium, whether it be dance, poetry, jazz
or classical music.

There are some rock groups that have
achieved artist status (the Beatles are generally
considered the progenitors of art rock), but
most are content to wallow in the sappy murk
of the love song swamp, covered with saccha-
rine cliches and melodies as clear as Mississippi
mud.

So go experience something new and see an
SAB-sponsored show this year. Ifyou go and
honestly give the perfomiers a chance, you will
be entertained, I swear. Ifnot, then give me a
call and I will personally come to one of your
parties and sing a Dave Matthews Band song.
Everyone can sing along. That way I know
they'll be entertained.

King brings the thrill
hack to BIIIBS FOSIIWII

By Theresa Noe
Staff Writer

The Bluegrass was rocked by
some real blues Sunday evening
when the second annual Bluesfest
rolled into Lexington at the Ken-
tucky Horse Park.

The headliner was “The King
of the Blues,” B.B. King. Kin
sang and strummed last on the bifi
of four artists.

First up, was the band “Blues—
time” with J. Geils and Magic
Dick. Dick played his “licking
stick,” more commonly known as
his harmonica.

Dick tore into the crowd with
some fine harmonica playing close
to the end of the band’s set. For
those of you who only know the
harmonica through Blues Trav—
eller, this man would be a lesson
in contrast.

Magic ended his solo with cat
calls and whistles on his harmoni-
ca. He sent shivers down the
crowd's backs with the high-

pitched notes.

Etta James roared on to the
stage after a short intermission.
With her deep, soulful voice she
coaxed the crowd the way only a
blues woman can.

James was the
highlight for this
writer. Female
blues singers real-
ly know how to
build you up and
tear you down
with their pure
and soulful voices.
King “This here is a

song I wrote for a

al who watched her lover leave

fier,” James said. The song titled

“I’d Rather Go Blind” epitomizes

the slow, rock me now, kind of
sound that the blues is all about.

James got down and dirty with
her third number “Come to
Mama."

“You got my number babe
777—6969. Come on over I’ll give
you a fix baby. Let me be your

 

pacifier," James sang.

The “Tilt-A—VVhirl" band with
Jimmie Vaughn whirled to the
stage next. Vaughn plays in the
vein of Texas shuffle blues, a style
that is more driving than the
Chicago or Memphis style of
blues

Vaughn dedicated a version of
“Texas Flood" to his late younger
brother, Stevie Ray who died in a
helicopter crash in 1990.

“Texas Flood" was a staple of
the younger Vaughn’s playlist.
The song is classic blues, with the
high whining guitar and slow,
steady rhythm.

Vaughn and his band exhibited
a hard, driving rhythm. with call
and response blues notes. The
song style leaves plenty of room
for long instrumental solos. By
the time the band was finished the
crowd was ready for the feature
artist.

BB. King, a blues veteran with
46 years of service, held the crowd
in awe of his talent, his stamina
and his stature.

King got some early birthday
sentiments when the crowd sang
“Happy Birthday" to him. The
artist will turn 70 on Saturday.

The music alternated between
fast and slow. The first slow song
was a song not often performed by

King, titled “Stomiy Monday.”

King and his band put on a
brassy sounding “Delta Blues"
performance for many of his pop-
ular songs.

King swayed back and forth
through songs like “Five Long
Years” and standards like, “How
Blue Can You Get.”

“I’ll play one more song,” King
said. He then played his most
popular tune “The Thrill is
Gone" to the delight of the crowd.

The concert ended with the
estimated crowd of 12,000
screaming unsuccessfully for a
King encore. But, there is always
next year.

King has been critisized in
recent years for being to much the
showman and not focusing on the
music enough, but that wasn’t evi-
dent this night.

King started out with the stage
name of “Blues Boy.” \Vell, he
isn’t known by that name any—
more.

The respect he has earned was
evident and the crowd was more
than accepting of the moniker he
now carries; “The King of the
Blues."

”It wasn't always the way it is
now. Thank you for letting me
sing the blues," King said.
