Sevcnryearold violinist. pianist
and cellist Rainbow Vogt will per
form recitals in three cities in the
Soviet tinion this summer in the
name of world peace.

The tour's goal is to promote good-
will and peace between the United
States and the Soviet Union. which
can be conveyed through Rainbow's
music. said her mother Diana.

"Music can be used as a language
to communicate when we cannot
communicate through a spoken lan-
guage.“ Diana Vogt said.

The tour. which will take place in
Leningrad. Kiev and Moscow, was
put together by the Citizens Diplo-
macy (iroup.

“This group is a grass—roots
movement made up of ordinary peo-
ple who want to make cultural con-
fact on earth and to make peace in
the world." Vogt said.

The group's main concern is to
promott K.ilfural exchange between
children

It was inspired by the philosophy
of Samantha Smith. who at the age

Smith was killed in a plane crash
last year. three years after she vis-
ited the Soviet Union.

Smith‘s classmates were so moved
by her death that they organized an
annual tour of the Soviet Union and
established a foundation in her
honor.

The center focuses on the idea
“that even a young child could have
an effect on the world.” Diana Vogt
said.

Although many of the official
dates for the recitals have not been

set. Rainbow is scheduled to per
form in Kiev on June 1. which is
designated International Day of the
Child.

At this recital, Rainbow will be
performing with 6~year~old Nadia
Artomova. a Seviet violinist. singer
and composer. Vogt‘s mother said.

The recital will be performed at
the Samantha Smith School. where
Artomova attends.

The works. which the two girls
will perform during their 45-minute
recital, will include folk music from
Russian, Italian and American cul-

tures.

Freshman computer student doesn’t let blindness keep him

By .I \(‘KIE LATIMER
(‘ont ributing Writer

Most people would not be able. to
tell that Kevin Minor, 3 21-yearold
t'K computer science freshman. is
legally blind

Minors active lifestyle # “I‘ve
done things a blind person shouldn‘t
do." he says gives no indication
of it

Minor does have a small percent-
age of sight. enabling him to detect
colors and images

He said he learned to deal with his
handicap from public schools. from
his parents“ teaching and from im-
provising as he went along.

As a result. his blindness. result-

ing from an incompletely developed
optic nerve. doesn't slow him down.

“I just don't want to sit around
and do nothing," Minor said.

His activities. typical of the aver-
age sighted person. include snow
skiing. which he learned to years
ago in Colorado where his family
used to live; scuba diving, which he
learned at UK; and bike riding.
which for him “wasn‘t too hard ei«
ther."

Minor. who has even riden a
horse. said he would like to ride a
moped again some day because he
thought that it was fun.

Minor said the problem in his
blindness now is more because “peo
ple tell me I can't do this. and I'll
tell them ‘yeslcan.’ "

Minor said one of his more adven-
turous events. which he supposedly
was incapable of doing. was driving
his parents' car.

“Mom was in the back crouched
on the floor." he said. “and dad was
in the front to make sure I wouldn‘t
run over anything."

Minor said he would like to do it
again. but the next time with a driv-
er‘s education simulator.

Minor is also interested in other
activities that would seem normal
only for-thosewhocansee.

Watching movies and television is
important to him. He said he has
enough vision to see a movie screen
because of its size. though he doesn't
go to theaters frequently.

He prefers to wait and see his fa-

Liability issue affects
statistics cases’ appeals

By DAN HASSERT
Senior Staff Writer

Students who have appealed
charges of cheating on 3 statistics
exam last semester will not have
their cases heard before the Univer-
sity Appeals Board because of L'K‘s
lack of liability insurance.

instead of the usual gppeglg pra-
css. the students' cases are being re
Viewed by a single appeals hearing
officer.

Jack Blanton. vice chancellor for
administration. said the move is a
“safeguard" against malpractice
suits under the category of errors
and emissions.

The hearing officer. Nancy Ray. a
lawyer who is the assistant vice
president for administration and
coordinator for the Affirmative Ac-
tion Equal Opportunity Office. said
she is covered by the University's
current liability policy.

Blanton said Ray is "functioning
tin place of the board» because of
the liability issue "

Ray would not say why she was

appouited to hear the students ap-
peals but said PreSident ()tis A Sin-
gletary appomted her on the basis of
“emergency” powers granted to
him last May 6 during a Board of
Trustees meeting.

The board passed a resolution that
gave the president the power. in
consultation with the chairman of
the t'nivcrsity Senate Council. to up
point a person or persons to replace
a University committee that failed
to act within Its duties

Wilbur Frye. chairman of the Sen
ate Council. was quoted in an Aug
27. 1986. Kernel article as saying the
board‘s action was a means to "con
tinue to operate the l'niversity in a
fairly normal way until such a time
that the liability insurance problem
is resolved "

['K lost liability insurance for its
employees on Feb. 5. 1986. when the
company insuring the l'niversity an
nounced that it would no longer offer
that type of insurance policy

{K was able to find liability insur
ance for 62 trustees and executive
officers . including the president.

vice presidents. chancellors. vice
chancellors. deans and directors of
t ommunity colleges w who today re;
main insured.

However. faculty and staff remain
uninsured. although this situation
could change soon. Blanton said

The loss of insurance apparently
had some faculty members scared
to act in their official capacity with-
out the protection of liability insur—
ance

Robert Rabel. a professor in the
Honors Program and a member of
the L'niversity Appeals Board when
the lack of liability insurance was
announced. said the board “did not
act in a certain case because we had
lost liability insurance."

Rabel said there was "no sense in
continuing without that type of pro-
tection “

Ray said about half the t7 stu-
dt‘tll> who appealed the charges and
the resulting sanctions in the statis-
tics case have had their cases
heard. but she declined to comment
about their outcome

Former college basketball star
says using drugs is ‘living a lie’

Ry JAY BLANTUN
News Editor

Gary Mclain proudly sports the
ring he received for leading the \‘il-
lanova Wildcats to the NCAA has»
ketball championship in 1985,

The ring symbolizes his play in
the championship game. for which
he was awarded the Most Valuable
Player award following the tourna-
ment

More importantly. though. it rep
resents what McLain terms his ‘adr
dictive" personality -- lllS fondness
for fast cars. nice clothes and
women.

With that. however. came a neg
ative addiction ~ an addiction to co-
caine

And it was that addiction
brought McLain to UK last night.

“The reason Gary McLam came
out and talked wasn't the money.‘
.he said to about 120 people who at-
tended his lecture in the Student
Center Grand Ballroom.

"1 don‘t give a damn” about the
money. “I‘m a cocaine addict when
I leave you here today. I‘m never
going to touch that bull again » it
almost killed me."

In a lecture sponsored by the Stu—
dent Activities Board contemporary
affairs committee. McLain said he
began using drugs v~ primarily mar;
ijuana . injunior high school.

McLam said he had always be
lieved he would never touch drugs.
but then “all of a sudden I tried it
andllikedit "

It felt good. he said. But that feel-
ing was only "livinga lie."

that

The high. he said. is temporary
"All you do when you get high is you
walk around the block. ibuti then
you got to go home . that‘s how
long your high lasts."

When he got into college. what
was just marijuana use then turned
into cocaine use.

"I thought I knew it all.” Mclaiii

said. “You couldn't tell me any
thing. 1 was a pcople-pleaset'. I
wanted a lot of friends I wanted
peopletolike me "

To be an athlete. he said. lS a priv-
ilege. It was a privilege that be
abused.

Drugs cost him his dream of play-
ing professuinal basketball in the
National Basketball :\,SS()Clélll0fl. he
said. And drugs cost him a job on
Wall Street

When he found out he w asn‘t going
to play in the NBA. “a chill went
down my spine "

"It was the
dream "

Drugs. he said. make you feel
"untouchable " Drugs make you
“lie to the people that love you "
Continually using drugs eventually
leads to death.

McLain said things changed for
him after he had been fired from his
job on Wall Street and something in
his crumbling world made him real-
ize that he was addicted.

He spent 28 days at the White
Deer Treatment (‘enter in Allen-
w‘ood. Pa Now he attends a selfrhclp
group iii New York. Mclam also has
begun speaking to groups. telling his
story

Cruse was cooperative, but in a
“sedate mood." Russo said. He de-
clined to give details of their conver~
sation.

Innocent by reason of insanity
would be one possible defense, legal
experts have said. Cruse reportedly
told a hostage that he was drunk
and he has reportedly told investiga-
tors he doesn‘t remember what hap-
pened Thursday evening. Russo said
that it was his understanding that
intoxication or amnesia can be used
to lessen the charges.

“Once we have investigated, we
will be able to zero in on a specific
defense for Mr. Cruse," Russo said.
He expected to seek a psychiatric di~
agnosis soon, Russo said.

At the jail yesterday. officers said
Cruse was sullen but was eating his
meals.

“He has not committed any acts
of hostility. He's not banging on the
wall or anything. He‘s just there,"
said Harry Sands, a deputy inspec-
tor.

Cruse was taken out of his cell for

a shower but has made no requests
for phone calls, books or fresh air,
jailers said. His cell has no tele
vision.

Jailers check on him every 15
minutes because he is considered a
suicide risk.

Six people remained hospitalized
yesterday. Helen Norvell. who was
shot in the stomach, was in critical
but stable condition. The others
were in fair to good condition at
Holmes Regional Medical Center.

Sent home Sunday was 14-year-old
Johnny Rich, sprayed with buckshot
Thursday afternoon as he played
basketball in his driveway for the
first shooting of the evening. Police
said the gunman also had a shotgun
in the car he drove to the site of the
shooting spree. as well as the Ruger
Mini-14 semiautomatic used in many
of the deaths.

Rich‘s mother hung up the tele-
phone yesterday when called for an
interview and a sign in the yard
said: "No press.“

Creators of Derby-Pie
trying to protect name

LOUISVILLE (AP) —— The own-
ers of Kern's Kitchen Inc. won‘t
give out the recipe for Derby-Pie,
a gooey confection of chocolate
and walnuts and only they know
what else, and they try to keep
the name to themselves as well.

Especially around Derby time,
others like to borrow the trade-
mark for their chocolate nut pies.

“We've had a lot of problems
protecting the name.” said Alan
Rupp, company president. “Law-
suits are the last thing we want.
We‘d rather just make our
pies."
This year‘s Derby brings yet
another annoyance to the Rupps.
The Kentucky Derby Festival
Committee endorsed another pie,
made by a Pennsylvania compa-
ny, as the official dessert for the

weeklong celebration leading up
to the 113th Kentucky Derby on
Saturday.

“I wouldn't mind if it was a
company down the street making
pies." said Sheila Rupp, vice
president of Kern's Kitchen. “But
it's a Pennsylvania company tak-
ing away our business."

Derby-Pie was first made in
1954 by Alan Rupp's grandpa-
rents and uncle, George Kern,
then manager of the Melrose Inn
in Prospect, Ky. The Kerns
wanted to develop a special des-
sert for the restaurant.

The family could not agree on a
name for the new dessert, so ev-
eryone wrote down a suggestion
and Derby-Pie was literally
pulled out of a hat, Alan Rupp
said.

AP review of building raises questions

By FRED BAYLES
and GEORGE ESPER
Associated Press

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. - What
would cause an apartment house
under construction to collapse like a
horse of cards, burying as many as
28 men? Loose ground under the
site? Cold weather during the pour<
ing of concrete? A design flaw?

A review of some 3,000 pages of
documents on file at City Hall, by a
structural engineer retained by The
Associated Press, shows no indica-
tion of discrepancies in construction
of the ill-fated L‘Ambiance Plaza,
which collapsed Thursday, but it did
raise several questions.

The documents covered various
aspects of the building‘s construc-
tion. including blueprints, specifica-
tions, traffic patterns and planning
board reports.

One questionable area is the site
of the lS-story building, said Frank
Zamecnik. a partner in Spiegel and
Zamecnik. a New Haven and Wash
ington, D.C., engineering firm. The
surface originally sloped sharply
some 34 feet and filling of the slope
may have provided a weaker base
than necessary for ihe foundation.
he said.

The project's structural design
drawings call for the main founda»
tion, or footings, to be built on “un-

disturbed bedrock” to provide the
seven-ton-persquarefoot capacity
they weredesignedfor.

But reports from Fairfield Testing
laboratory Inc., a Stamford lab
hired by 'I'PM International Inc., the
lead construction firm. described
the ground as “broken rock and
earth in a loose state" and said the
site should be “well compacted be-
fore placement of footings."

“I consider it questionable that a
bearing capacity as large as seven
tons per square foot could be ob-
tained on the broken rock and earth
mixture," said Zamecnik, a guest
lecturer at Yale, Columbia and Cor-
nell universities whose firm is in-
volved in construction projects
around the country.

In the documents on file, Fairfield
Testing Laboratory said each loca—
tion for the columns could bear
weight in excess of the seven-ton
specification. There was no indica-
tion how the laboratory reached that
conclusion.

John Vitale, the Fairfield Testing
Laboratory inspector who signed
many of the documents, declined to
comment on the building's construc-
tion.

Zamecnik said the records also
raise questions about whether steps
were taken to provide protection
from cold weather when concrete
floor slabs were poured.

These slabs, poured at ground
level and then stacked like pan-
cakes. are jacked into place between
the support columns to become the
building’s floors.

The concrete was poured from
late fall through February, and offi-
cials have said the project was two
months behind because of bad
weather.

One report on the slab pouring in-
dicates workers med thermal blan-
kets to keep the concrete from freez-
ing, which could weaken the
concrete.

While Zamecnik said laboratory
tests indicated that the concrete met
all requirements, he said lab studies
might not represent what was hap-
pening in the field.

The records did not indicate
whether support columns were ad-
equately braced. Design specifica-
tions required temporary bracing
with guy wires to keep the structure
steady until support walls of re-
inforced concrete could be poured
inside the structure as it was built.

Engineering notes on the
blueprints limited erection of the
support columns to no more than
three stories above these concrete
walls, known as shear walls. There
was no indication in the city’s re-

cords if these requirem‘ ents were
met.

Such records usually exist in cor-
respondence between a devel-
opment's architects and the con-
struction company. But in the case
of L'Ambiance Plaza, construction
and design were all done by 'I'PM
International.

While the arrangement is not un-
usual, Zamecnik said many engi-
neering firms recommend that the
developer, rather than the comtruc-
tion company, hire the testing lab.

“There‘s always the pressure that
when the laboratory is being paid by
the contractor that they may devel-
op a loyalty to the contractor,” he
said.

Officials at TPM International of-
fices in Bridgeport, Darien or Miami
could not be reached in spite of re-
peated attempts.

One day before the disaster, the
city's building inspector told Mayor
Thomas Bucci and other city offi-
cials that his staff was overworked
because of a building boom in
Bridgeport. But Bucci said yester-
day that he did not believe the ca-
lamity “will be determined to be a
result of inadequate city inspections
at the work site.”

House debate on trade bill opens today

By TERENCE HUNT
Associated Press

WASHINGTON —— President Rea-
gan said yesterday it‘s time to stop
“hemming and hawing“ abOut trade
problems between the United States
and Japan and warned he has not
ruled out imposing additional sanc-
tions against Tokyo to resolve trade
disputes.

While saying he hopes to be able
to lift sanctions against Japan soon.
Reagan said, “we will do what is
necessary to see that other nations
live up to their obligations and trad-
ing agreements with us."

Reagan’s remarks, in a speech be-
fore the annual meeting of the US.
Chamber of Commerce, set the
stage for the opening of debate
today in the House on a sweeping
trade bill, and meetings at the White
House on Thursday and Friday with
Japanese Prime Minister Yasuhiro
Nakasone.

“The final answer to the trade
problems between America and
Japan is not more hemming and
hawing, not more trade sanctions.
not more voluntary restraint
agreements —— though these may be
needed as steps along the way w and

certainly not more unfulfilled
agreements," Reagan said.

“The answer is genuinely fair and
open markets on both sides of the
Pacific," he said. “And the sooner,
the better.“

Reagan said areas in which Ja-
pan's markets are more restricted
than the United States‘ include semi-
conductors. supercomputers, auto
parts, telecommunications, con-
struction projects and agricultural
products. ‘

Momentum for passage of a trade
bill has been fueled by America‘s
huge trade deficit, which hit a re-
cord $166.3 billion last year, includ-
ing a $58.6 billion imbalance i
