Stock market crash threatens county, campus

Dow Jones rises 102 points

UK funds barely hurt; most
are fixed-income securities

By THOMAS J. SULLIVAN
News Editor

Monday‘s stock market debacle
shook UK’s endowment fund, but
only slightly, University officials
said yesterday.

The endowment fund is a collec-
tion of monies that have been do-
nated to the University. The Univer-
sity, in turn, invests those funds in
stocks and bonds.

UK's endowment fund is valued
slightly in excess of $46 million — at
book value. said Henry Clay Owen,
UK‘s controller and treasurer.

Out of that $46 million, UK has in—
vested $5.6 million in equity-type se-
curity (stocks and bonds), Owen
said. The remainder, about $40 mil-
lion. is invested in fixed-income se-
curities ~ corporate bonds and US
government securities which
were not affected by Monday‘s stock
market plunge.

The stock market tumbled Mon-
day, dropping the Dow Jones aver-
age more than 500 points and wisp-
ing away more than $500 billion in
stock value in the selling panic.

The 22.6 percent plunge from Fri-

day’s level was much larger than
the 12.8 percent drop on Oct. 28,
1929, the day commonly referred to
asBlack Monday.

UK‘s stocks lost money.

The $5.6 million UK had invested
in stocks had risen to $7.9 million as
of Sept. 30, Owen said. But after
Monday, the value of those stocks
had shrunk to $5.7 million — a $2.2
million loss.

Jack Blanton, UK's vice chan-
cellor for administration, said that
while $2.2 million is a figure to be
concerned about, no one at UK is
worrying.

“As Mr. Sam Walton (owner of
Wal-Mart stores) said, it’s all paper

. when I began it was all paper
and it’s all paper now,“ Blanton
said. “This is not the ‘29 crash, the
economic indicators are stable.“

The situation could have war-
ranted more concern were it not for
UK's conservative investment poli-
cy, Blanton said.

Harvard, for example, invests 75
to 85 percent of its endowment fund
in stocks, Blanton said. UK's invest-
ment is almost the reverse, with less

than 15 percent of its endowment
fund in stocks.

These investments in stocks are
for basically one purpose — divi-
dends, Blanton said. “You can't pay
scholarships off of appreciation. you
do it with dividends . . . you can’t
spend appreciation," he said.

Blanton said there is no reason to
believe that, at this point, dividends
will suffer.

Larry Forgy, chairman of UK‘s fi-
nance committee, commended UK‘s
conservative investment policy at

yesterday‘s Board of Trustees'
meeting. “I think it‘s turned out
today to be a prudent decision," he
said.

“I think we have suffered a minor
hit, but so has the whole American
economy," Forgy said.

“We have not lost anything, (but)
we are really concerned," Blanton
said.

NEW YORK — The Dow Jones in-
dustrial average bounced back
about 102 points yesterday. but its
biggest point rise ever erased only
one-fifth of the previous day‘s De-
pression-sized market crash.

Both the Tokyo and London stock
exchanges posted their biggest
losses ever yesterday. Worldwide.
stocks lost well over $1 trillion in a
24-hour period.

Declining stocks outnumbered ad-
vancing ones by more than 5 to 2 in
heavy, panicky trading in the broad-

The Dow Jones average of 30 in-

according to a preliminary reading.
after having fallen a record 508
points on Monday.

The volume of trading ..- a good
measure of the market‘s confusion

Hayes talks
to press
on benefit

By Jon! WHITAKER
Staff Writer

Helen Hayes, renowned as the
first lady of American theatre,
was the center of attention at a
press conference yesterday at the
Singletary Center for the Arts.

The press conference kicked off
the firstever benefit perfor-
mance by the College of Fine
Arts.

“I appreciate the great perfor-
mance the University of Ken-
tucky is having here," Ms. Hayes
said. “This University, like other
universities around the country,
are keeping theater alive."

The news conference was
opened by Dr. Richard Domek,
dean of the UK College of Fine
Arts.

”Our performance tomorrow
night will be a success," Domek
said, adding that the perfor-
mance has already generated
$31,201 from ticket sales. all of
which will go directly into the
fund to benefit the college.

Ms. Hayes, who just celebrated
her 87th birthday last week,
spoke highly of theater.

“We cannot feel anything like
. . . the miraculors things we feel
unless there is theater," Hayes
said. “1 don't like the world 1 see
in television. "

The conference generated a va-
riety of questions, all of which
Ms. Hayes answered with a cer-
tain charm.

Helen Hayes spoke to reporters yesterday afternoon in the Pres-
idents Room at the Singletary Center for the Arts. Actress

When asked what she would
think of someone who says,
“Helen Hayes, who's Helen
Hayes?" she answered quickly
and sharply, “Why, I‘ve never
encountered such a person,“ but

said that if she did, she would
have to set them straight.

SAB talks commercialization for Student

By EVA J. WINKLE
Staff Writer

A bar and grill in the Student Cen-
ter came one step closer to reality
last night in the weekly Student Ac-
tivities Board meeting.

The board looked at options to pre-
sent to the administration concem-
ing the commercialization of the
Student Center.

Although SAB members will not
be voting on the recommendations
until next week, they discussed stu-
dent reaction and possible commer-
cial outlets for the Student Cents.

This comes in response to the ad-
ministration‘s reply through Vice
Chancellor for Administration Jack
Blanton Blanton said in a letter that
UK President David Roselle and the
UK Board of Trustees are willirg to
discuss possible changes in the Stu-
dent Center with SAB.

The changes stem from a report
made by an SAB-organised commit-
tee that presented recornrnendatm

on improvements for the Student
Center last spring.

In addition to limited commercia-
lization, the committee suggested
major redecoration and putting the
construction of a new Student Center
located on south campus on the Uni-
versity‘s ﬁve-year plan. Both have
been accomplished.

in his letter to the board, Blanton
said the administration was “not op-
posed“ to commercialization.

However, he said the board would
need to answer several questions be-
fore the administration would ap-
prove the move. Among them were
the extended student need for the
proposed services and a willingness
to commit Student Center space for
ﬁvetoseven years.

The board has said it would like to
install a fast-food restaurant chain,
a thug/convenience/gift shop and a
drycleanirg store

SAB based its recommendations

“There’s no way I can say what's going to
happen in five years. Historically, this
(commercialization) has come up again and

again.”

the students surveyed said they fa-
vored commercialization.

More than 550 students were
polled about variors Student Center
activities, as well as desired
changes in programs.

SAB President Lynne Hunt said
commercialization would improve
theStudent Center.

She said it would provide services
not currently available to students
on campus and also increase student
activityinthebuildings.

“It would address potential issues
before problems concerning com-
mercialization arose," she said.

Lynne Hunt,
SAB president

Hunt was referring to several
newspaper articles in which private
Richmond merchants claimed East-
ern Kentucky University‘s commer-
cialization of its student center hurt
their businesses.

in anticipation of concerns arising
from the potential commercializa-
tion, Hunt appointed board members
to “feel out“ student response.

“There‘s no way I can say what’s
going to happen in five years,“ she

said. “Historically, this (commer-
cialization) has come up again and
again."

Hunt said she felt students would
welcome commercialization.

“I would imagine (the responsei
is going to be favorable." she said.

She said the commercialization
proposal was not a “last-ditch ef-
fort" to save the Student Center fi-
nancially, but "in response to what
students have said they wanted.“

The businesses would open next
fall and would absorb the cost of
converting space to fit student‘s
needs.shesaid.

SAB is looking to convert the bil-
liard room. the arcade, the area
near the SAB member pictures and
thearea near Room 245.

“The types of services we‘re pro-
posing would not need major con-
struction." Hunt said. “The space
can also be reconverted."

“This is pobably one of the most
important thirus that any student
center board, any student union
board, any student activities board
has ever diseased," Hunt said.

BOT passes
fee increase
for station

By DAN HASSEHT
Editor in chief

Radio Free Lexington will begin
receiving money from a $1 per se-
mester student fee increase next
fall.

The Board of Trustees unanimous-
ly approved the increase at its
monthly meeting yesterday with the
condition that the extra money fi-
nance the yearly operational costs of
RFL. the student group that has
worked for more than two years to
establish a student-run campus
radiostation.

The increase. which raises student
fees to $39.75. will mean Silo-25,000 a
year for RFL. said Jack Blanton.
vice chancellor for administration
and an RFL board member.

This money. though it won‘t be
available until next fall. guarantees
the station the $3.500 it needs to
cover construction costs With this
guarantee. the station is ap-
proaching the Student Government
Senate tonight for an interest-free
loan of up to $3.500.

Neither RFI. General Manager
Scott Ferguson nor SGA President
Cyndi Weaver anticipate any prob-
lems getting the loan through the
senate. The SGA appropriations and
revenue committee approved the bill
to the senate last Wednesday on the
basis that the board approve the fee
increase.

Weaver. who is also a BOT mem-
ber, took the fee increase proposal
before the board yesterday. pointing
to strong student support for the sta
tion.

“Given the climate of the strong
resistance to a tuition increase,"
Weaver told the board. “the fact
that almost 80 percent of students
said they support (the idea of paying
$1 for the station) points to the popu—
larity of the concept

Weaver also med the dedication
RFL members have shown in rats-
ing funds and organizing as an indi-
cation of the seriousness of the sta-
tion‘s intentions.

Ferguson said the increase means
the station can finally think in con-
crete terms.

“Now we don‘t have to sell the
idea of a radio station; we can sell
the radio station." he said.

Ferguson said he‘ll ask the RFL
board tomorrow for permission to
seek bids on equipment. fill out work
orders for the Physical Plant Divi-
sion and complete transactions with
Lexington Mayor Scott Baesler and
former UK President Otis A. Sin-
gletary, who have donated money
for operational costs.

Blantm said he thinks the board
will give Ferguson the goehead to
start the constmction paperwork,
which “almost ensures them of

Actress Hayes focus of Fine Arts benefit tonight

By JOI)l WHITAKER
Staff Writer

The Singletary Center for the Arts
will hold a benefit program tonight
featuring Helen Hayes. the re-
nowned first lady of American The-
ater.

Tonight's program. launched yes-
terday by Hayes in a press confer-
ence, will be the first ever benefit
for the College of Fine Arts The
program will include performances
by students and alumni of the col
lege and a special presentation by
Hayes.

UK President David Roselle, Fine
Arts Dean Richard C. Domek and
Marilyn Moosnick, master of cere-
monies, will introduce the benefit
after an opening fanfare by the UK
Brass Choir and the UK Choristers
and Chorale.

The introduction will be followed
by performances of Mozart. jazz and
drama, including a tribute to the de—
partment of art. Included will be
alumni and students in the depart-
ment of art. the School of Misic, the
department of theater and the Sin-
gletary Center for the Arts.

After a brief intermission, Hayes

will present her special perfor-
mance.

Domek stated in a recent press re-
lease that the College of Fine Arts'
firstever benefit program is shap-
ing up tobeahuge success.

The idea to present a benefit per-

formance featuring Miss Hayes was
Domek‘s idea. who felt that “bring-
ing in someone from outside would
bring credibility and stimulate inter-
est" in the college.

Hayes made her acting debut at
the age of six with the Columbia
players. She first appeared on
Broadway at the age of nine.

Some of her outstanding theater
performances over the years have
been “Victoria Regina." “Twelfth
Night" and “Harvey." with Jimmy
Stewart. In 1931, she began her film
career. the same year in which she
won an Academy Award for “The
Sin of Madelon Claudet."

Other films in which Hayes has
appeared include “A Farewell to
Arms," “Anastasia" and “Airport."
for which she won her second Aca-
demy Award. Hayes is the ﬁrst ac-
tress in Oscar history to gain both a
Best Actress and Best Supporting
Actress Award.

UK needs to recover quickly

By 'ionn JONES
Sports Editor

So. you’re not a historian of UK
football. Well. Jay Tesar can tell
you all about how the Wildcats have
spent recent Octobers.

“Every year we play LSU, we
seem to come back and play
Georgia and they wipe is off the
field," the UK punter said. “I don't
know if it’s because we‘re all wom—
out from LSU or what.”

Not many in the Wildcat camp can
explain the disastrous stretch of
games that strikes UK every fall.
But it’s there in black-and-white. A
good effort goes for naught against
LSU. Seven days later, the Bulldogs
scrape the Cats’ bones.

“Anytime you play two teams like
LSU and Georgia back-to-back. it‘s
tough," UK center Brad Myers said.
“Sometimes we get so psyched up
for LSU it's hard for is to come

338 Woodland Ave.

back and get fired up against
Georgia."

What makes it so difficult is very
obviom. Both the Tigers and Bull-
dogs are established powerhouses
and annual residents of the Top 20.
UK is not.

“We‘re a little different,” Myers
said. “We have to play hard, play
with enthusiasm and play as a team.
Kentucky is not a real great football
team unless we do that. We need to
play together and play hard to be
successful.”

Which is precisely why it is no
time for the Cats to abandon ship.
They realize they must stay together
or sink. Another iceberg awaits Sat-
urday.

“That one’s over with," UK coach
Jerry Claiborne said about Satur-
day’s 34-9 loss to LSU. “There’s no
sense moping about it. That’s gone.
We got to prepare for Georgia.
We’re playing just as good a team

The Wildcats had a meeting on
Monday to discuss just that. One
loss will not destroy the season.
Football is a redeeming sport with a
new game every week. UK is trying
tokeep thatinmind.

“We had a good meeting,” Myers
said. “It was calm, everybody
talked. There’s no trouble on the
team. We just talked about what we
havetodo.” ’

WhattheCatsdecidedneedtobe
done was nothing. They just need to
keep working hard and executing
well. Tesar said he expects that to
happen against Georgia.

“The biggest difference I see as
compared to the last two years is
this year our team focuses more on
one game at a time," Tesar said.
“You can‘t change what is in the
past. We forgot about that and are
just focused on Georgia.”

Still, the past haunts. For one de-
cade now, the scene has been played
out. LSU fires a jab and Georgia fol—

Candidates offer
nothing more than
bickering, arguing

If you haven‘t decided who to vote for in the Kentucky
gubernatorial election on Nov. 3, you might have watched
Monday night’s debate between candidates Wallace Wilkin-
son and John Harper hoping to see where they stood on the

issues .

Instead, the Republican Harper and the Democrat Wil-
kinson showed nothing more than two “grown-ups” resort-
ing to childlike arguments and bickering.

Both candidates claim they represent change for a state
desperately in need of nothing short of economic salvation.

And this state needs just that.

Facing a $450 million budget shortfall, Kentucky needs
straightforward and innovative leadership that will at least
start it on the road to financial recovery.

Monday night’s debate, sponsored by the Kentucky
League of Women Voters, showed us that these candidates
don‘t represent change — just more of the same.

Wilkinson and Harper took part in more of the same
mud-slinging and name-calling that Kentucky politics is

known for.

Although Harper didn’t call Wilkinson a “weasel" this
week, he did say that the Casey County native is a “wild
card“ who would “pluck the state clean like a chicken.”

Wilkinson later volleyed back by implying that Harper
was a whiner and lazy and saying he should get out and

work instead of talking.

When the two candidates did get down to issues, they
settled for spending much of the debate talking about cam-
paign financing and vote-buying.

Granted, much of the questioning from the panel cen-
tered on these two issues, but they are not major economic
questions that would bring any more jobs into a poverty-

stricken state.

Monday night would have been a perfect opportunity to
discuss a higher education system that is facing a more
than $9 million budget shortfall next year. After all, the
debate was held on the Eastern Kentucky University cam-

pus.

But education was only mentioned in connection with
the lottery — the panacea for everything from veterans’
benefits to bolstering used-car sales.

Instead of a debate, the voters got something resem-
bling two children arguing in front of their mother about

who took a cookie out of the jar.

But even in that kind of dispute, something substantive

is usually decided.

Letters

Enough
condoms !

For the last four weeks or so, my
daily ritual has been pretty much
the same. I get up at 8:30 or 9 every
morning. spend my day in class or
at work. try to squeeze a little home-
work here and there, and of course.
read the Kentucky Kernel. This last
activity is always an enjoyable
break for me, a few moments to
relax and catch up with campus and
local happenings. For the past few
weeks. however. it has not been the
enjoyable experience it could have
been. The reason I am saying this is
because the Kernel has simply put
too much emphasis on the condom
issue. I understand the importance
of the issue and am gratef
