Mothers use it to call their
children, and rappers wield it
like a weapon or bestow it like
a title. It seems the
right to call black peo-
ple “nigger" is one of
few privileges re-
served exclusively for
blacks.

The word has been
used for centuries as a
racist term to describe
blacks as property.
These days, it thrives
among many blacks as
an expression of affec-
tion and familiarity ——
despite effons to purge it from
the black vocabulary.

When whites say it — em-
phasizing the ‘er‘ — the effect
is less than friendly. But when
17-year-old Marcus Driscoll
says, “That’s my nigga," he‘s
usually describing his best
friend.

“There ain‘t
really nothing
wrong with
slang, and that's
all it is," said
Driscoll, a De-
troit high school
student.

“There’s a right
time and a
wrong time to
use. When

gin’ with your

OK."
The word is

black
that even many
older blacks feel

in the right situ-
ations.

“There are
101 situations in
which I would
never use the
word." said
Robert Steptoe, 48, a Yale Uni-
versity English professor.

“But I’ve got my friends. my
home boys, and when I'm
around them, I use the word.
And I don't think I've sinned."

Still, the word is hardly uni-
versal among blacks. For years,
many have never dreamed of
using it And these days, blacks
who casually drop the word in
conversation are more likely
than ever to get a dirty look or a
rebuke.

“The use of the word (by
blacks) has a dehumanizing
effect," said the Rev. Jesse
Jackson.

“In a time when African-
American males are seen as less
than worthy, the use of the

In a time when
”We 1““ ”a” African-American

Speech word only
maximizes that

it is acceptable COHdIIIOH.

— Jesse Jackson

Use of ‘nigger’
thriving as term
of black affection

word only maximizes that
condition."

Even rappers — considered
some of the worst offenders by
people who dislike the word —
are speaking out against it. Pub-
lic Enemy, one of rap's most re-
spected and popular
groups, included a song
on its third album called
“I Don't Wanna Be
Called Yo' Nigga." The
theme: Don‘t call me
nigger — especially if
you're black.

The song hit home for
rap fan Mtu Pugh, a 22-
year-old chemical engi-
neer with Procter &
Gamble Co. in Cincin-
nati.

“Using the word is like op-
pressing myself. Why do I need
to do that?" Pugh said.

“White folks have done a
good enough job of oppressing
my people. The last thing I'm
going to do is help them. I'm
sure they love it when they hear

black people us-
ing that word.
Then, they think
they‘ve got us
trained to deni-
grate ourselves."
The most
common argu-
ment against
black use of the
word is that
whites who hear
it may think they
too can use it the
way blacks do.

That's appar-
ently what hap-
pened at Central
Michigan Univer-
sity, where a
white basketball
coach was fired in
April after telling
his mostly black
team, “We need
some more nig-
gers on this
team."

The coach,
Keith Dambrot, said he used the
word to describe toughness and
tenacity and that his players
gave him permission to use the
word as they did.

All the players agreed Darn-
brot isn‘t a racist, and most wer-
en‘t offended by the incident. In
fact, nine of the 11 black players
on last season’s team joined
Dambrot‘s lawsuit against the
school, although four later
dropped out. A federal judge dis-
missed the suit last month.

Dambrot’s lawyer. Robert
Sedler, said the coach’s use of
the word in that situation was ac-
ceptable.

“The language of black Amer-
ica is not the language of Ameri-

Sexual assault reported
at Pike fraternity house

 

Staff report

 

UK police responded to a rape
report last week at the Pi Kappa
Alpha social fraternity house, Po~
lice Chief W. H. McComas said
yesterday.

A Pike member has been impli-
cated in the alleged Feb. 5 assault,
police said, but no charges have
been brought.

McComas said the victim, a UK

sophomore. has refused to file a
complaint.

Pike president Bryan Clark said
in a statement that “the alleged in-
cident happened outside of the
chapter house on Feb. 5.

“The individual named in con-
nection with the incident has been
suspended (from the fraternity) so
as not to interfere with the Univer-

sity inquiry.“

Dean of Students David Stock-
ham said the alleged rape is being
investigated by his office.

He declined further comment.

Wethington, Swain answer
questions about higher ed

 

By Lance Williams
News Editor

 

LOUISVILLE — The presidents
of the state's two largest universi-
ties were probed last night about
topics ranging from the recruit-
ment of women and minorities to
their stands on whether to close
one of the state-funded
schools.

Mark Herbert of
WHAS-TV in Louis-
ville. one of a panel of
journalists brought to-
gether for the event,
asked UK President
Charles Wethington
and University of
Louisville President
Donald Swain about
their thoughts on clos-
ing one of the state-
supported universities
to provide more financial support
for the rest of the educational sys-

 

WETHINGTON

tem.

Wethington said he did not
agree with the idea, and he said
Gov. Brereton Jones and the state
legislature should not have to wor-
ry about that kind of decision be-
cause of problems it would cause
with citizens around the state.

Swain agreed, although be con-
ceded that “Kentucky
does not need eight
state-supported univer-
. sities."

“However, in the
culture of this state,
people put a priority on
case of geographical
access," he added.

The two presidents
were questioned on
whether it would be
feasible to cut out
much of the politics
that surround higher
education, especially during capi-
tal project requests or when debate
begins about cutting programs at

universities.

Swain said he
believes that re-
ducing political
grandstanding
. \ I where education
is concerned
s TiiL would be diffi-

Sscsfifiofi cult.

IIGIEIEI ”The“ are

things you have
to live with. It's a part of the cul-
ture that we live in in this state,"
Swain said.

Wethington said when issues
such as the closing of a dental
school come up, they easily cut
across educational and political
lines. Wethington also said the
politics surrounding higher educa—
tion can help prevent major deci-
sions from being made too quick-
ly.

“The decisions about those (den-
tal) schools should not be taken
lightly or dealt with lightly. It is
politics. but not bad politics,"

 

Mayor outlines new fees

 

By Perry Brothers
Staff Writer

She stressed that implementing the user fee is “not

something that any person in public office enjoys do-

ing.

 

Lexington Mayor Pam Miller told a campus audi-
ence yesterday that new federal and state guidelines are

forcing the city to implement waste
disposal fees to pay for a new land-
fill.

Under the guidelines, the city
must spend $11 million to cap the
existing landfill and develop new
waste disposal programs.

During the past 20 years. Miller
said, govemment mandates have
driven waste disposal costs from
$15,000 an acre to $550,000 an acre.

Federal and state regulators will
not, however. provide any money
for local governments to implement

 

MILLER

the new standards, Miller told the

crowd of about 40 gathered at the monthly Lexington

Women‘s Forum meeting.

Miller said the regulations will cost each landfill user

about nine dollars a month.

“The goal is clean water, and we don't want to be
against that," Miller said.

The entire city will feel the effect
of the federal demands, Miller add-
ed, noting that she expects the city
budget to increase 10 percent a year.

Miller also discussed what she
called an “exciting" challenge fac-
ing Lexington — the new Down-
town Planning Committee.

The committee's goal is “to and
bring life and zip to downtown
area," she said.

Miller said the city brought in “vi-
sionaries" from other cities to form
the committee, and she cited possi-

ble plans of cooperation between UK
and Lexington as some of the first proposals to come

out of the committee.

“(UK) President (Charles) Wethington has not

See MILLER, Back Page

Wethington said.

Kentucky has two dental
schools, one at UK and one at U of
L. The Governor's Higher Eduar-
tion Review Committee had con-
sidered recommending that one
school be closed, though a propo-
sal was never brought forward.

The presidents also were given
questions about their recruiting
policies — especially the recruit-
ment of women in administrative
positions.

Swain conceded that, with a
study of the opportunities for
women UK released about three
and a half years ago. the school
has the upper hand in the continu-
ing battle to recruit women to the
upper levels of university adminis—
tration.

Wethington. however, was put
on the defensive with questions
surrounding the implementation of

Committee OKs $7,100 in spending

 

By Melissa Rosenthal
Staff Writer

 

If they don‘t use it. they lose it.

Student Government Association
Senate members are well aware of
the fact‘they must end the semester
with a zero financial balance. Oth-
erwise, the money will be given
back to the University.

In light of that fact, Greg Wat-
kins, chairman of the scnate‘s ap-
propriations and revenue commit-
tee. urged committee members last
night to “take advantage of the
money we have.”

The committee members appar-
ently listened. unanimously ap-
proving four appropriations bills
last night totaling $7,122.

The largest bill requested $2,080
in SGA funding so the UK Horti-
culture Club could sponsor the Na-
tional Floral Crop Evaluation Com-
petition.

The bill stated that the money
would go toward registration ex-
penses, speaker fees and entertain-
ment —- including 3400 to hire a
disc jockey.

During open discussion, Scmtor
at Large Trent Knuckles asked the
committee when SGA started fund-
ing entertainment expenses of stu-
dent groups.

Although a brief discussion fol-
lowed, the bill was approved.

Another bill, presented by Rob
Warrington, executive director of
the Senate, sought $1,750 for
child-care grants.

The grants, Wanington said, will

enable parents to attend classes
while their children are in day care.

“If you educate the mother or fa-
ther, you educate the entire fami-
ly," Warrington said of the bill‘s
merits.

He also said it was important that
some type of program be set up so
students with children could attend
classes and not suffer financially.

Committee member Erica
McDonald said the measure was
“definitely one of the most impor-
tant bills this year."

The appropriations and revenue
committee also recommended $750
to the Graduate Nutrition Organiza-
tion for a meeting on experimental
biology to be held in Anaheim,
Calif.

Susan Bogardus. a member of
the group who spoke to the com-
mittee on behalf of the bill, said
budget cuts in The Graduate
School forced the students to seek
SGA's help.

The committee also approved a
bill requesting $2,542 to fund a
meeting of pharmacy students in
Seattle.

All four bills will be brought to
the floor of the full Senate next
week and must be approved there
before any money is allocated.

Meeting with state officials
fruitful, SGA president says

 

By Melissa Rosenthal
Staff Writer

 

It's not whether you win or lose,
but how you play the game.

And according to Student Gov-
ernment President Lance Dowdy,
the students are playing the game
against state legislators very well.

Dowdy, along with 60 students,
traveled to Frankfort Monday to at-
tend a reception with the governor
and state legislators.

“The purpose was to get to know
our legislators and talk tuition
freeze too," he said. “I think we
really made some progress.”

“I was able to gain a better un-

Frankfort politicians regarding
higher education." he added.

Dowdy said the meeting provid-
ed a chance for opposing forces to
come together to work out their dif-
ferences, but SGA Freshman Sena-
tor Adam Edelen saw things differ-
ently.

“The people who showed up for
the reception were basically the
same people who have been sup-
porting a tuition freeze all along."
he said. “The people we really
needed to see and talk to just didn‘t
show up."

University to participate in $30 million
national study on diabetes prevention

 

By Sara Spears
Contributing Writer

 

UK's Albert B. Chandler Medical Center is
one of IS hospitals chosen by the National In-
stitutes of Health to take part in a $30 million
diabetes prevention trial.

The nationwide clinical trial will study
whether insulin treatments can prevent develop-
ment of Type-I diabetes in people whose rela-
tives have developed the hereditary disease.
said Dr. Dennis Karounos, assistant professor
of medicine.

Type-I diabetes, the most common and least
severe form of diabetes, results in low levels of
insulin. a hormone crucial for processing carbo-
hydrates.

Studies have shown that. several years before
a person actually develops diabetes, the per-
son‘s own immune system attacks and damages
insulin-producing cells, Karounos said.

“The test will be a good source for checking
whether or not people treated with insulin as a

preventative therapy will develop diabetes," he
said

UK will begin its test, which is expected to
last from five to seven years, by screening
about 500 volunteers who are related to some-
one who has diabetes.

Nationwide, 60,000 to 80.000 volunteers will
be screened.

These volunteers will participate in a routine
blood test to determine whether they have cer-
tain immune system markers for diabetes and
whether they have a significant decrease in in-
sulin secretions. Karounos said.

If a person tests positive for these two signs,
he or she will be accepted into the study. The
participants will be divided into two risk groups
based upon family medical histories.

Those accepted as high risk will be divided
into two groups.

The first group will begin insulin injections,
while the second group will serve as a control
group that does not receive insulin.

Those in the lower risk group will take part in
an oral insulin treaunent. The insulin injection

treatments will begin immediately. while the
oral insulin study is set to begin in 1995.

UK was chosen for the study because of its
rigorous study and involvement in diabetic
studies in the past, Karounos said.

This is the first large-scale study done to de-
termine how to prevent diabetes.

“This also sets up a network of physicians
around the country who are interested in curing
diabetes," Karounos added. This will leave
open the opportunity for other further nation-
wide studies about the causes and prevention of
diabetes.

The study is sponsored by the National Insti-
tute of Diabetes and Digestive Kidney Diseases
in cooperation with the National Institute of
Child Health and Development, the National In—
stitute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases, The
Juvenile Diabetes Foundation and the American
Diabetes Association.

Volunteers may contact Karounos at 323-
5821.

Compact discs usually aren’t
associated with a trip to the li-
brary. but the UK Network Com.
Inunications department is out to
change the way students think
about in-depth research.

A proposal to be submitted
within a month will ask the Uni-
versily to replace UK‘s $90,000
CD-ROM database with a
$15,000 set-up that will more
than double current data capaci-
ty, said Robert Aken, UK's elec-
tronic information resources li‘
brarian.

(‘l)-R()M, or compact disc
read-only memory. technology
allows information like text,
graphics and sound to be put on
compact discs for use in music,
video games and computer net-
work systems.

Each disc is like a portable
bookshelf that can hold up to 60
volumes.

By accessing a network of
connected computers on campus.
students and faculty may elec-
tronically thumb through refer-
ence resources without ever ac-
tually opening a book. Aken
said, thereby drastically reducing
time spent in the library.

UK‘s current system consists
of two large CD-ROM players.
called “towers,“ that hold 14
discs each.

These towers distribute infor-
mation to network users all over
the campus through local area
networks and the Ethernet net-
work.

The problem with all this
cutting edge technology is ironi-
cally simple: UK is out of room.

Many of the reference discs sit
idle in boxes because of a lack of

players.

With hundreds of users search-
ing through the discs at any giv-
en time. Aken said. there is a
definite need to offer more titles
to the network community.

To expand this system. UK
would have to buy more of the
a prohibitive-

             

l y expensive move.

The new approach will consist
of single. separate disc players
that may be plugged into the sys-
tem individually.

This means CDs that appeal to
specific fields — engineering.
for instance — may be removed
from the campuswide network
and placed directly in a CI)-
ROM reader dedicated to engi—
neering. freeing up more room
on the central network.

’l‘hat added capacity will be
filled with discs covering a wide
range of interests, Aken said.

The proposal also will ask that
the Ethemct network be altered
to allow Apple and Next comput-
ers to log into the system.

The current system is only
compatible with IBM—based
computers, Aken said.

While the CD-ROM discs may
be reached from any microlah or
Ethcmet-connected terminal.
Aken said, the network also is
accessible through PRIME termi-
nals. as well as from off-campus
locations.

Aken cautioned that connec-
tion through the use of a modem
or the PRIME terminals is ineffi-
cient and that key commands are
much different.

lie said the new system would
settle these incongruities.

Cat comeback set off celebration,
proved this team does have heart

 

By Ty Helpln
Kernel Columnist

 

 

 

. When I sat down to watch Tuesday night‘s UK-LSU game on ESPN, l
was curious to see how these Wildcats would react to two straight losses,

.. the building pressure from Lexington and their own fall-
ing confidence.

A 31-point deficit later, I was sure this team wouldn‘t
make the Top 25 next week, much less the Final Four in
April.

But then, something clicked.

Coming back from 31 down was surprising. But, the
way it happened and who made it happen was shocking ——
Chris Harrison started the rally with two straight threes.

If you recall the Eastern Kentucky game, Harrison was
labeled “The Bluegrass Bomber” by Host Communica-
- I "Hm tions' game programs at Rupp Arena.

Until this point in the season, however, Harrison has
been more like the Bluegrass Benchwarmer. This time he proved his legiti-
macy as a team member, which was in question by many.

And then there was Walter McCarty hitting a three from the comer with
19 seconds left that was more exciting than Mardi Gras for UK fans.

That three came at some serious cnrnch time and brought the Cats all the
way back. It was their first lead since 1-0.

The amazing and unbelievable win set off a frenzied celebration across
campus. The Greg Page Apartment complex erupted after Travis Ford‘s
free throws iced the game. Bottle rockets, C-A-T—S cheers, honking horns
and uncontrolled shrieks of joy abound after the final seconds ticked off .

During the comeback, one apartment was shaking after every steal. dunk
or three. The residents inside were high-living and bumping chests with
the intensity usually seen only by the likes of New York Knicks' stars Pat-
rick Ewing and John Starks.

LILLEHAMMER, Norway ~
Oh, great. The US. hockey team is
winless after two games for the first
time in 10 years, its hopes for a
medal vanishing, and guess who's
dead ahead.

The Next One, Olympic version.

Paul Kariya, a 19-year-old who is
the latest hockey-playing Canadian
teen-ager to bear the burden of be-
ing the next Wayne Gretzky, must
be contained if the
United States is to
finally win one to-
night.

“His skating
style is similar to
Gretzky’s. He
might even be a
better skater,” U.S.
coach Tim Taylor
said yesterday.
“And he loves to
make plays. It's an
accurate compari-

son.
A loss to Canada (2-0-0) would
leave the Americans (0-0-2) with
just two points from three games,
and second-seeded Sweden still to

The Wildcats' comeback was incredible, perhaps the greatest ever. It
came at such a crucial time in their season too.

Without Rodney Dent, the Cats had played sparingly. 1110 first 25 min-
utes of Tuesday's game would tell that tale.

This team has built a character of its own. With UK coach Rick Pitino
threatening his club with a nickname of “The Forgetables." the Cats turned
in a performance that won‘t soon be forgotten.

With gritty players like Jeff Brassow and Girnel Martinez, newfound
strength in McCarty and Andre Riddick. and a clutch performance from
Harrison, UK showed it was not a

What was more impressive than the

was the performance of the many

‘Curse of the Starving Class’
depicts dysfunctional family

 

By Rebecca Farmer
Staff Writer

 

“Curse of the Starving Class," an
Obie-award winning play by Sam Shep-
ard, is to all outward appearances a
crassly realistic and dark production.

“1 don‘t think it's depressing. I think ‘
it's funny," said Brady Thomas, the
play's director.

The play takes place entirely in the
kitchen of a dysfunctional middle-class
family living on a deteriorating farm. It
