Democratic convention draws students to Atlanta

Dukakis gains
needed support
from universities

By (A. DL'ANE BONIFER
Editorial Editor

ATLANTA ——- While Democrats
gathered here this week to nominate
a presidential candidate and ham-
mer out a party platform, several
hundred college students worked be—
hind the scenes doing odd jobs and
running errands for Massachusetts
Governor Michael Dukakis‘ preSi-
dential campaign.

“Eight years ago. young people
were very apathetic and i think that
has changed." said Ariela Gross. na-

Sound like science fiction? With
today's technology it is becoming
more and more like science fact.

The catalyst that could bring all of
this about is superconductivity —-the
flow of electricity with no loss of
energy or resistance.

Superconductivity is nothing new
to the science field. it has been
around since 1911. but only a short
time ago was its revolutionary
potential discovered.

“We thought we pretty much
understood superconductivity," said
Kumble Subbaswamy, a UK physics
professor who is active in the
University‘s research of this topic.
.lBuii people missedout on the
complex nature of it."

Imagine taking a train Airistead

Until a couple of years ago. no
material was thought to be
superconductive at temperatures
higher than 2! degrees Kelvin.
which is about minus 400 degrees
Fahrenheit.

tional co—coordinator for Students
For Dukakis.

More than 10.000 college students
belong to the more than 500 Students
for Dukakis chapters in 48 states.
said Gross. a 1987 history and litera-
ture graduate from Harvard Univer-
sity.

“I‘ve seen incredible response ev-
erywhere ['ve been and then there‘s
all these students from all over the
country coming therei to work for
Michael Dukakis." she said.

Joseph Elias. the UK engineering
senior who was the Students for Du-
kakis coorinator at UK, said student
support for Dukakis has been strong
because of the Massachusetts Gov‘
ernor's high ethical standards.

"People can understand and see
why he‘s doing things and doing
them in an open manner. rather

than like President Ronald) Rea-
gan and iVice PreSIdent Georgei
Bush who do everything under the
table." Elias said.

other students also said they
would welcome a change from Rea-
ganism.

“Dukakis is a change from Rega-
nomics. and I'd just like to see a
more liberal person in the White
House.“ said Rosalyn Garbose. a
1988 Cornell University graduate.

"Young people are fed up With the
Republican administration and want
to see a Democrat «in the “hilt?
housei. and they want to see a
change and they want to put their
all into it," said Jill Wilkins. a i937
Brandeis University graduate and
cocoordinator oi the national Stu»
dents For Dukakis.

This poses a problem because the
material becomes so hot. it must be
cooled with liquid helium, an
expensive and inefficient coolant.

But now scientists have found
materials that are superconductive
at temperatures above 100 degrees
Kelvin.

“Most of us grew up in an age
where the highest temperature for
superconductivity was 20 degrees
Kelvin,“ said Peter Eklund, also a
UK physics professor “Now it's up
to 120 degrees Kelvin."

t all started in 1986 when Swiss
scientists K.A. Mueller and J .G.
Bednorz used ceramic materials
with a copper and oxygen base to
get superconducting temperatures of
36 degrees Kelvin. Prior to that the
highest temperature was about 20
degrees Kelvin.

Mueller and Bednorz won a Nobel
Prize in 1987 for this discovery and
laid the groundwork for even higher
temperatures to occur.

Naturally. this may not sound like
much, but to a researcher, it in akes
all the difference in the world.

“This was very exciting news,"
said Kenji Okazaki. of UK's
metalurgical engineering
department. "It was our (UK‘Si
motivation."

By using substances that are
superconductive at these higher
temperatures. scientists can cool
them with liquid nitrogen, which is
less expensive and readily available,

“it's I liquid nitrogen) cheaper
than milk.“ ()kazki said.

This is what has made it feasible

Convention

Continued from Page 1

Another reason many students
said they were attracted to Dukakis
was because of how he has handled
his state's economy. which has been
referred to as the “Massachusetts
Miracle."

“I was very impressed what the
Governor has done (in Massachu»
settsl, particularly that a Democrat
could be progresstve on issues I care
about . and at the same time
could balance nine budgets in a
row.“ Gross said,

Leslie Howell, an Ohio University
political science and organizational
communications senior from West
Bloomfield. Mich. said she joined
up with the Dukakis campaign be-
cause her boss. Michigan senator
Carl bevin, supports him.

“I thought t’Dukakist would be
good and I really respect Carl Le
vin‘s views a lot.“ she said.

“We just basically jumped on the
bandwagon." said Rachel Charlip. a
Umversity of Michigan psychology
senior who also interns for Senator
Levin

James Kooperman. a L'CLA crea—
tive writing senior from Glendale.

California, said he did not know
much about Dukakis before joining
the campaign, but “I don‘t disagree
with him on anything like I do with
theother candidates."

Kooperman. like many of the
other students here. was glad Duka-
kis reconciled his differences with
the Reverend Jesse Jackson Mon-
day.

“I'm glad they worked everything
out.” Kooperman said. "While I re-
spect Jackson’s views and his inten-
tions. having him in the White House
would scare me a lot."

Most of the students who came
here this week were self-proclaimed
liberals. but many of them acknowl~
edged with regret that Dukakis
would have to make some conces»
snons to conservatives if he is to de—
feat Bush. the likely Republican
nominee. in November.

“Because of some pressures from
the right. (Dukakis) is going to have
to change some of his beliefs to get
elected — I think.“ said Jason Scott.
a history junior and Students for Du-
kakis coordinator at Duke Universi<
ty "1 hope he doesn't. but there‘s a
balance , . . between what you can
believe in and what you have to tell
people to get elected and that's
bad.“

ASAE appoints Walker president

By DOLLIE HAVE-INS
Contributing Writer

John N. Walker. former associate
dean for the College of Agriculture
at the University of Kentucky. has
been named presidentelect of the
American Society of Agriculture En~
gineeis (ASAE).

ASAE is a voluntary non-profit.
technical. scientific and educational
society committed to improving ag-
riculture through the application of
engineering principles,

In his leadership position with
ASAE. Walker will be addressing
geographical and national meetings

and writing articles about such sub
jects as agricultural safety, contam-
ination of the water supply and im-
provement of the adoption of
agricultural technology.

Walker first became active in the
society as a researcher and later as
vice president of administration.

Walker‘s “pet project“ is the

Merit Society of Agricultural Engi-
neers. “The Merit Society of Agri-
cultural Engineers needs to change
its approach to continuing educa-
tion." he said. Walker feels that in-
dustry indicates what should be
taught and he would like to see edu-
cators have more imput in continu-
ing education.

UK signees
Kemp, Woods
not eligible

Associated Press

University of Kentucky basketball
signees Shawn Kemp and Sean
Woods cannot compete at any NCAA
Division I school during the next
season because they failed to meet
NCAA academic requirements. an
official announced Tuesday

In making the announcement. UK
Admission Director Joseph L. Fink
III said both signees had been ad—
mitted to the univerSity for the up
coming fall semester

In a news release. Fink said,
“Neither will be able to compete,
however. at any NCAA Division I
school during the 198889 basketball
season under the NCAA‘s Proposi-
tion 48 academic requirements "

Chris Cameron. UK‘s sports infor-
mation director. said UK basketball
coach Eddie Sutton "won't be mak-
ing any comment“ on Fink‘s an-
nouncement ”because it‘s an aca-
demic matter."

Cameron said he did not know
where the two athletes were.

Fink said that he could not release
the athletes test scores and could
say only that they failed to meet
academic requirements under the
NCAA’s Proposition 48.

“By law. we are very limited in
what we are able to say concerning
the academic profile of individual
students." fink said. “Obviously,
Coach Sutton is extremely disap
pointed that they will not be able to
play next season."

Under Proposition 48 guidelines
an athlete must have a cumulative
high school grade-point average of

633

UK signee Shawn Kemp did not meet Proposition 48 guidelines
and is ineligible to play for Kentucky for the 1988-89 season.

20. based on a 4.0 scale. in a suc-
cessfuly completed core curriculum.
Additionally, the athlete must have
a combined score of 700 on the SAT
verbal and math sections or a com-
posite score of 15 on the ACI‘ in
order to qualify.

ering junior college or playing over-
