WASHINGTON — A new analy-
sis details something a lot of parents
already knew: Young Americans
are hanging around home longer
and are more likely to move back
once they finally do leave.

Delayed departure from the pa-
rental hearth reverses a trend of
younger and younger independence
that had been under way since the
1920s, according to the report by
the independent Population Refer-
ence Bureau, which uses data from
several earlier studies.

The 1990 census, for example.
found that 21 percent of all 25-year-
olds living in households were liv-
ing with their parents, up from 15

percent in 1970.

“leaving home has always been
considered a transition to adult-
hood, but both the ages and reasons
young people move out are chang-
ing," report sociologists Frances
and Calvin Goldschneider of Brown
University.

Traditionally, young people leave
home “to get married, to get a job,
to go to college or join the mili-
tary," they said.

But today's young adults “came
of age during recessions, tight job
market, slow wage growth and soar-
ing housing costs and amid the
confusion of roles and behavior
created by the gender revolution."

In short. today‘s twentysometh-
ings “have been having a difficult

SGA candidates
address concerns
of black students

 

By Mitchell Douglas
Staff Writer

 

During the last Black Student Un-
ion meeting of the year Wednesday,
Student Government Association
senator at large candidate Beverly
Coleman cut to the chase with a se-
rious question for SGA presidential
candidates and their running mates.

“Is BSU going
1 to see you in the

- fall?" asked Cole-
’ man, a member of
BSU. “A lot of
times, you see
people who want
to be president
come in here just
to get the vote."

Coleman and
other BSU mem-
bers share an old
concern that SGA candidates who
present their platforms yearly at
BSU meetings may lose interest in
the organization once they have
been elected. BSU President Can-
dace Sellars said she hopes
Wednesday’s opportunity for stu-
dents to meet and question the can-
didates relieved some of the ten-
sion.

“1 think we have a lot of concerns
that need to be expressed and usual-
ly aren't addressed in SGA," Sellars
said. Citing a BSU-SGA communi-
ty service project at the Nest, a Lex-
ington shelter for abused children,
and a dinner for both organizations,
Sellars remarked, “This is the first
year that we’ve had good relations
with the SGA."

All five presidential candidates,
four vice presidential candidates

 

and seven of the 36 senator at large
candidates discussed tuition hikes.
the failure of student government to
include students‘ input arid low vot.
er tumout in SGA elections.

“It’s not so much that students
are apathetic and that they don‘t
want to vote, it's that they don’t
have a reason to vote," presidential
candidate Misty Weaver said.

“SGA isn't about just services;
it's about our representation as
yomtg people,” presidential candi-
date T.A. Jones said. “It‘s the only
voice we have in our education and
in our culture. Who else is going to
represent us?"

Although all the candidates gen-
erally agreed on students‘ lack of
knowledge and involvement in stu-
dent government, the ease of con-
trolling tuition increases and the
role of the Council on Higher Edu-
cation brought varying opinions.

“(Keeping tuition costs under
control) is a realistic goal, if you
talk to the right people," said presi-
dential candidate Krista Gibler.
“Clay Edwards graduated, I believe,
two years ago from UK, and he‘s
on that board. He's someone that
understands our problems, artd he is
someone that's going to come to us
and help us with our problems artd
push them through CHE."

At a recent meeting, the CHE
was presented with more than
30,000 signatures of students across
the state who opposed tuition in-
creases. Presidential candidate Rob
Warrington said he and the UK stu-
dents who attended the meeting got
a rude awakening.

“They looked at it and laughed
and went on their merry way," he
said. "That‘s how realistic it is."

At the same time, young people
benefit from a stronger safety net

However, parents who left home

Sons are more likely to return

a while, after military or college.

In the early years of the century
only one in 10 who left to marry re-
turned home, compared to one in
four among young people who left
the nest in the 1960s. During the

u.s. Senator Mitch McConnell said yesterday that President
Clinton's health-care plan ‘is not a good idea.‘

McConnell firm
in his opposition
to Clinton plan

 

By Joe Godbey
Staff Writer

 

US. Senator Mitch McConnell
reaffu'med his stand against the
president‘s health-care reform plan
dttring a campus visit yesterday.

McConnell, who attended two
classes and give two speeches at
UK, said President Clinton‘s propo-
sal to provide all Americans with
health-care coverage “is not a good
idea." Currently, 15 percent of
Americans are uninsured.

Although being uninsured is a
problem, no one goes without medi-
cal care, McConnell said later in a
presentation sponsored by the UK
College Republicans.

McConnell‘s health-care plan, on
the other hand, makes health care
occupationally portable, which he
said allows people to carry their
coverage from one job to the next.

“Portability could bring 93 per-
cent of the people health-care cov-
erage, and the other 7 percent could
be dealt with by giving them health-
care checks," McConnell said.

The Republican senator also ad-
dressed some weaknesses of Clin-
ton's plan, which he said were me-
diocre health care and delays.
McConnell said American doctors

have noticed this in a similar
health-care system used in Canada

The Canadian plan puts limits
on coverage and the choice of phy-
sicians, he said.

Besides obstructing the right to
choose a doctor, McConnell said,
Clinton‘s plan could increase the
health-care burden on small busi-
nesses.

On other issues raised during
McConnell’s lecture:

Cigarette smoking bans are
bruising the tobacco industry and
destroying a way of life in many
tobacco-rich regions, the senator
said. “We can't replace tobacco,"
he said.

“There is nothing you can do
with a half acre up a holler besides
plant tobacco."

-Although McConnell voted
against the Brady gun control law,
he said he is concemed about
crime.

A proposed ban on assault weap-
ons that is before Congress now is
likely to pass, he said.

The senator also discussed for-
eign policy issues at the Student
Center yesterday.

He was invited to do so by UK's
Patterson School of Diplomacy
and International Commerce.

Scientists link AIDS to cancer

 

By Richard Cole
Associated Press

 

SAN FRANCISCO — Research-
ers have f0und that the AIDS virus
directly causes cancer, artd the dis-
covery offers a possibility of better
treatment for both diseases.

It also raises doubts about the
safety of some new fornts of gene
therapy.

The results, being announced to-
day, could lead to safer ways to
treat certain forms of cancer in
AIDS victims. said the study’s au-
thors, University of California at
San Francisco Drs. Michael
McGrath artd Bruce Shiramizu.

"This is the first direct evidence
that we have a human vints causing
emcer through sonte mechanism —
not just indirectly by irnmunosup-

pression," McGrath said.

Cancers, including lymphoma
and kaposi’s sarcoma, have long
been associated with AIDS.

But most researchers have
thought the cancers were opportu-
nistic, taking advantage of AIDS’
weakening of the immune system
rather than being caused by the vi-
rus itself.

The study, however, found that
when the AIDS virus inserted its
gertetic material into a cell's DNA
it apparently switched on a nearby
cancer-causing gerte, starting up a
less common variety of lymphoma
called non-B-cell lymphoma

The scientists spent two years re-
viewing 30 lymphoma cases, and
found four in which the AIDS virus
inserted itself into the saute spot in
a cell’s DNA.

McGrath said the researchers

now have additional examples, and
estimated that up to a third of non-
B-cell lymphomas in AIDS patients
show similar results.

The study is to be published
April 15 in Cancer Research, the
journal of the American Associa-
tiort for Cancer Research.

Dr. William A. Blanner, chief of
the viral epidemiology branch of
the National Cancer Institute, hailed
the finding as an important step in
understanding how a retrovirus, the
class of virus that includes the
AIDS virus, can cause cancer.

“This has been seen in animal ret-
rovirus, but it‘s the first example of
an insertional retroviral situation in
man," he said.

Dr. Dawn Willis, a virologist and
scientific program director for the
American Cancer Society, called
the study “a very exciting finding."

She said the link between AIDS
and cancer was always considered
indirect because no one had ever
found HIV, the AIDS virus, in a
cartcer cell before.

The discovery could suggest re-
search in tracing the role of viruses
in other cancers.

Shiramizu emphasized that the
study doesn't show the AIDS virus'
exact role in causing cancer.

Until that is determined, he said,
long-range questions are still specu-
lative.

Blattrter agreed the implicatiom
for a future AIDS vaccine are wor-
risome.

“If this insertion was to take
place, understanding the mecha-
rtism would be very irnportrltt in
considering a future vaccine," he
said.

Predictable Wildcats rally,
come up short to Morehead

 

By Brett Dawson
Assistant Sports Editor

 

Forget about Old Faithful and
Halley's Comet.

For a true picture of predictabili-
ty. the UK baseball team is the
placetolook.

The Wildcats (14-14) lost their
fifth straight game yesterday. fall-
ing to intrastate rival Morehead
State 10-7. It was the fourth
straight loss in which UK has
trailed by seven or more runs and
rallied to within
one run before los-
ing.

Morehead (14-

14) did the majori- .3:

ty of its damage in
the second inning.
The Eagles pound-
ed out four runs on
three hits off fresh-
man starter Aaron
Acuff (01) and la lellll
one UK error. The

biggest blow was a two-run home
run from second baseman Garry
Sapp.

The Eagles went on top 5-0 in
the third inning when designated
hitter Butch Fulks hit a solo home
run off Acuff. Fulks' shot sailed
over the right field fence and onto
the UK football team's practice
field.

Fulks, who transferred to More-
head from UK following the 1991
season, was a one-man wrecking
crew. His second solo home run of
the game put MSU on top 60 in
the fifth and he gave the Eagles
their biggest lead of the game at 8-
0 with a two-run single in the sev-
enth.

The Cats saved their offense for
the later innings — predictably. UK
scored five runs in the bottom of
the seventh. Senior rightfielder
Matt Bragga drove in two of those
runs with a long triple to right cen-
ter that missed leaving the park by
less than a foot.

Eddie Brooks and Jay Tedesco
added RBI singles in the inning,

  

and Chris Combs tacked on an RBI
groundout

UK crept closer in the eighth
when Brad Hindersman and Tedes-
co knocked back-to—back RBl sin-
gles.

But the Cats couldn‘t hold More-
head. David Shoupe and Devon
Ratliff had RBI hits against UK re-
liever Troy anmbo in the top of
the ninth to put MSU on top by the
final 10-7 count

UK head coach Keith Madison
said his team's loss could be linked
directly to its coming out flat in the
first halfofthe game.

"T he thing that probably con-
cerns me more than anything is our
lack of intensity during the first
five or six innings," Madison said.
“We had no intensity on the field,
and we had no intensity in the dug-
out."

UK had two errors in the game.
both of them leading directly to
MSU runs. Madison said that might
have had an effect on his rookie
starter.

“When you‘ve got a freshman on
the mound in his first start. you've
really got to tighten up defensive-
ly.” Madison said. “We didn’t do
that for Aaron, so that‘s a disap-
pointment."

Notes:

-UK senior rightfielder Pookie
Jones. suffering from a slight ham-
string pull, started at designated hit-
ter against Morehead. Jones went
1-for-3 with a single, but was no-
ticeably hobbling as he ran. He left
the game for a pinch runner after
singling in the sixth inning.

-UK will play host to defending
national champion and current N0.
4 LSU (23-3, 6-0 Southeastern
Conference) in a three-game series
starting today.

UK (1-4 SEC) will send Curtis
Whimey (3-1, 5.11 ERA) to the
mound for today's 6 pm. start.
Brian Reed (2-3, 3.88 ERA) will
pitch tomorrow's 2 pm. game.
Madison said he is undecided on
his starter for Sunday‘s game,
which also is set for 2 pm.

Curry, Dickey plan to build 011 Peach Bowl

 

By Doc Purcell
Staff Writer

As anyone who followed the UK
football team last season can attest,
_ the Wildcat offense wasn't exactly
one of the most explosive units in
the Southeastern Conference.

in fact, for a portion of last year.
the team scored only one touch—
down in 12 quarters of football and
posted rushing and passing numbers
that were mediocre at best.

Still, in the squad's final contest
of the year. a 14-13 loss to Atlantic
Coast Conference powerhouse

 

Clemson in the Peach Bowl. the
Cat offense sported a new and reju-
venated look, racking up 139 rush-
ing yards and 154 passing yards in
what was perhaps its most balanced
and charged performance of the
year.

 

And, according to Wildcat head
coach Bill Curry and offensive co-
ordinator Daryl Dickey. that same
attack is wlmt fans can expect next
season.

“We found some good things in
that game, and we will continue
with those and others," Curry said

While Curry was short on specif-
ics and long on rhetoric in his
spring football press conference
yesterday. he did admit that the
Cats are undergoing somewhat of
an offensive overhaul, trying to per-
fect the same type of game plan
used in the post-season while ex-
ploring certain other aspects of
strategy as well.

Like the past two seasons, the
Cats again will employ their patent-
ed Stack-1 formation. UK intends to
add multiple sets, hoping to open
up a passing attack that has been
nearly non-existent for the better

part of Curry's reign in Lexington.

“The Stack-l is still going to be a
part of our offense because we feel
it is a good way to feature backs,"
Dickey said.

“We will also spread the field
with shotgun formations and con-
tinue to throw the ball. We are still
going to run option football and be
an option football team. but we will
spread it out and throw from a va-
riety of formations."

With the Wildcat coaching staff
emphasizing balance and a more
wide-open scheme for the upcom-
ing campaign, there is one pertinent
decision that the staff soon must
make — exactly who will call sig-
nals for the Cats this fall.

Senior Pookie Jones, who has
started at the quarterback position
since midway through his freshman
campaign, has not yet come to a de-
cision on whether he will return to

the squad next season. A two-sport
standout, Jones is missing swing
drills because of his duties as a
rightfielder on the Wildcat baseball
team, and may forgo his final year
of football eligibility to concen-
trate on a professional career.

Given his predicament. Curry
said the offensive unit must pre-
pare with the intention that Jones
will not return to the team. Last
year's back-up. Antonio O'Ferral
has been moved to defense. leav-
ing the position loaded with inex-
perience.

Currently leading the depth chart
is redshirt sophomore Jeff Speedy,
the team's third-string participant a
year ago. Speedy saw little action
in that role. appearing in only one
contest — a 26-17 victory over
Mississippi State.

Redshirt freshmen Matt Hobbie
and Billy Jack Haskins, two
players who have seen no colle-
giate playing time, also are in the
running.

Led by seasoned sophomore Jen-
ny Hansen. the Cats are looking to
advance past the first round for the
first time in school history. The
highest any Gym Cat team has
placed in the regionals was third in
1990. UK has qualified for the re-
gionals nine of the past 10 seasons.

Hansen, who has recorded a per-
fect score 15 times in her young ca-

 

 

.“ Sm cm

 

 

 

 

reer, said she is confident UK will
be successful

“Competing against the (South-
eastern Conference) teams all year
gives us a definite advantage,“ she
said.

The SEC has maintained a high
level of success in gymnastics re-
cently. Each team in the conference
is ranked in the Top 25. including
four of the top six. Since 1987. an
SEC school has won the national
championship five times (Georgia
three times and Alabama twice).

“This conference is tougher than
what people realize, even with the
reputation we're getting," UK
coach Leah Little said earlier in the
year.

Going into the meet, the Cats
have been saddled with some inju-
ries. Freshman Sonia Merla suf-
fered a sprained ligament on the
uneven bars at the SEC Champion-
ships and junior Tamae Freeman
has not practiced because of a knee
injury.

Freshman Theresa Shaw, who
stepped in for Merla, also injured
her ankle Monday but was able to
practice yesterday.

“We’ve pulled together really
well considering the injuries we’ ve
had," Shaw said.

Shaw and Hansen agreed that
concentration will be the key to fur-
ther advancement this weekend.

“We've been really consistent in
practice," Shaw said. “Now we‘ve
got to transfer that into the meet."

“We've made serious progress
this season," Hansen said. “I'm
really proud of the way we stuck
with it. All we have to do is put our
minds on what we‘re doing.”

Hansen, an All-American who
won the NCAA all-around title last
year, said she has become accus-
tomed to being the featured attrac-
tion at most meets.

“There was some pressure early
in the year," Hansen said. “I don’t
feel it anymore because I'm just
concentrating on the team and not
on myself. 1 do a lot better when I
can make myself be totally fo-
cused."

Focus is what the Cats will need
tomorrow. There are five NCAA re-
gionals. The regional winners plus
the seven next best scores move on
to the NCAA Championship.

score well."

Kentucky Kernel, Friday. April 0, 10M - a

to use more exciting version of Stack-I

But perhaps the most intriguing
player featured in the squad's
stable of quarterbacks is junior
Fn'c Gray. a City College of San
Francisco transfer. Gray harbors a
powerful arm that the Cats could
use in their new offensive style.

Curry was quick to point out.
however, that no final decision has
been made regarding the position
and that all four quarterbacks have
much potential.

“There are superb athletic abili-
ties and leadership qualities in all
four players," Curry said. “All four
players have made some progress,
and all four players have made se-
rious errors. Jeff Speedy came in
as the starter, and he is still the
starter. No one has really jumped
out there and shown superiority."

Whoever wins the quarterback
battle will have a myriad of talent-
ed receivers to throw to, including
seniors Randy Wyatt and Clyde
Rudolph, as well as a chorus of
young hopefuls.

“(UK's) got a solid group of re-
ceivers. But, they need to continue

. to develop," Dickey said.

While the Cats passing game
still is somewhat up in the air, the

ground attack seems rock solid. as
the squad returns second~un All-
SEC selection Moe Williams, who
settheleagueonfireduringasto—
rybook freshman campaign.

Williams headlines a stock of
runningbacks that may make up
one of the country's best back-
fields.

The best he could come up with

Of course, you could easily dis-
miss the man a an overly polite
trash—talker, or perhaps even the
Vandy village idiot. But if you look
deeper, actually if you look way too
deep. you can read some symbolism
into the flailing fool's follies.

(unless they were really hard and
wehadmdosomeacmalwork).So
here now is our attempt to recap a
wild and wacky five months of cov-
ering UK basketball:

NOVEMBER

A bunch of Australians formed a
posse and stormed Rupp Arena, but
no one really seemed to mind. After
all, Little Brother would be in town
soontostarttherealseason,and
the average age of the Aussies ri-
valed that of the east of “Cocoon."

Cards not up to task

Things went back to normal as
UK beat Louisville a fourth consec-
utive year 78-70. Cards coach Den-
ny Crum apparently had resigned
himself to defeat, saying after the
game that if someone told him he'd
only lose by eight, he'd be thrilled.
You should get out more, Denny.

The Cats vaulted to No. 1, both in
the polls and in the number of times
any group of hrnnans eon utter the
phrase, “We don’t care about the
rankings.”

Reporters were asking how the
loss of Jamal Mashburn was affect-
ing the team.

DECEMBER

The Indiana Hoosiers quickly put
anendtotheNo.lranking that
none of the players cared about.
There also were some reports of
mass destruction at various rest are-
as and restaurants loaned off [-65
South. But it wasn't us.

Maui dandy for Cats
