Withdraws
candidacy

By GREGORY A. HALL
Senior Staff Writer

A presidential search at the Uni-
versity of Nebraska, in which Chan-
cellor for the Lexington Campus
Robert Hemenway was a finalist,
nears its conclusion with remarka-
ble similarities to the recently com-
pleted search at UK.

Hemenway and the two other re-
maining finalists withdrew them-
selves from consideration yester-
day, leaving the NU Board of
Regents with interim President Mar-
tin Massengale as the only inter-
viewed candidate entering Tues-
day’s meeting.

Four finalists were announced
last Friday by the search committee
that told its regents they could look
at any internal candidates. The four
finalists and Massengale were inter-
viewed last weekend in Kansas
City. On Tuesday, Gene Budig,
Kansas University chancellor, be-
came the first to withdraw.

Despite calls for a new search
from the faculty senate at NU’s
Omaha Campus, Regent Rosemary
Skrupa said that a new search
would be impractical, m a session
of the Nebraska legislature ap-
preaches.

Meanwhile, in his withdrawal
statement, Hemenway said he was
“happy" at UK.

“UK is one university of 60,000
students committed to making a dif-
ference for the entire commen-
wealth," Hemenway said. “I want to
beapartef that effort.”

A question now facing Hemen-

way is whether he can convince UK
that he is not looking for an oppor-
tunity to leave.

UK President Charles Wethington
said he was pleased that Hemenway
is staying at UK and that his deci-
sion would “end the uncertainty.”

Wethington was selected presi-
dent in September after a controver-
sial search in which he, as interim
president, was allowed to be a can-
didate. Four finalists were named
by UK's search committee, and two
dropped out before coming to cam-
pus. One finalist other than the in-
terim president visited UK.

Wethington said he does not be-
lieve Hemenway will be looking for
other jobs.

The NU post presented “unusual
conditions that you would not nor-
mally find," he said.

Hemenway is a Nebraska native
and an NU alumnus.

University Senate Chair Carolyn
Bratt said Hemenway’s personality
had made it obvious that “ultimately
he was going to want to have a uni-
versity of his own to run."

She said she does not expect that
Hemenway will be looking for just
any presidency.

But NU regents say Hemenway
was a strong candidate.

“You have a real gem in Dr. He-
menway," regents chair Don Blank
said. He referred to Hemenway’s
credentials and references as “im-
peccable” and called the UK chan-
cellor a “tremendously impressive

UK tree auction
to aid foundation

By JOETTA LYNN SACK
Staff Writer

The Kidney Foundation of Cen-
tral Kentucky means something spe—
cial to UK student Bethanie Hargett
-— last December she donated one
of her kidneys to save her older sis-
ter’s life.

“There was never a doubt in my
mind that I was going to do it,” she
said. “I would do it for anybody
I can’t imagine not doing that for
somebody.”

This year, Hargett, an assistant
hall director at Blanding Tower, is
again extending her generosity by
helping coordinate the Trees of Life
festival fund-raising project at UK.

Appalshop will make
its debut at 7:30 pm. at
the Seay Auditorium,

Seventeen residence halls and seven
sororities are participating by deco-
rating donated Christmas trees. The
trees will be displayed at the Red
Mile Grandstand for two weekends
and then will be auctioned off.

“We’re going to try to get the res-
idents involved to decorate but
mainly the hall governments are do-
ing it," she said.

Each 4.5-foot tree will have a
theme chosen by the individual
group. Hargett said she expects the
trees to bring at least $50 or $100
apiece, and all proceeds will go to
the Kidney Foundation.

The trees will be displayed Nov.
23-25 and Dec. 1-3. University Day
will be held Saturday Dec. 3, and
UK students will be admitted half-
price with an identification. Former
UK football coach Jerry Claibeme
will sign footballs, and the UK Pom
Squad and Brass Quartet will per.

While the chilly October wind
blew outside, freshman Kim
Whobrcy sat in her UK residence
hall room and read a letter that
described a sweltering, colorless
desert.

Serviceman William Carter
wrote the letter to Whobrcy in re-
sponse to a letter she had sent
Sept. 10 — the start of the Green
Ribbon Program sponsored by a
UK residence hall. As part of the
program, students began writing
letters to US. service officers sla-
tioned in the Gulf since the Iraqi
invasion of Kuwait in August.

Patterson Hall resident advisers display the green ribbons they wear in support of US. troops in
Saudi Arabia. The students began wearing the ribbons and writing letters in September.

Residence halls receiving
mail from Mideast troops

the letter-writing campaign, ad-
dresses of the soldiers and green
ribbons to wear in support of the
troops to about 100 students who
participated in the campaign.

Patterson Hall Director Gina
Lang said she chose green rib-
bons to symbolize “the green in
the US. that they don‘t see in the
desert — the green we hope
they‘ll be seeing again soon."

Green ribbons and letters cx-
plaining the program were sent to
campus leaders. Students wear
the ribbons around their wrists
and ankles or pinned them on
clothing and will continue to do
so until all military personnel
come home.

Lang added the green symbol
to resident adviser Christy Whi-

IICHAEL CLEVENGEfl/Kernel Stall

taker's letter-writing idea.

“My mom reminded me of how
family and friends wore the iden-
tification tags that belonged to
POW‘s in Vicmam. Wearing
green ribbons reminds pcoplc on
a daily basis of the situation in
Saudi Arabia." Lang said.

In a letter received from Lt.
Robert Stampf, he said the letters
are a positive sign from college
students today. especially consid-
ering the controversy that US.
troop involvement in Vietnam
generated on college campuses.
He called the support a “welcome
change“ after the infamous police
action.

Forum
discusses
Iraqi war
chances

By MARC DALEY
Contributing Writer

A professor and a director of the
the University of Southern Califor-
nia’s political science department
held a fonrm Wednesday night to
clear up confusion some students
and faculty have about the Persian
Gulf crisis.

The forum, “Flashpoint: Middle
East Crisis,” was sponsored by the
Student Government Association.

The speakers, Robert Kline, a pro-
fessor in USC’s political science de-
partment, and Richard Dekmejian,
department director, spoke about
Iraqi President Saddam Hussein and
the military build-up in the region.

Saddam is a “very complex totali-
tarian leader that has. at his dispo-
sal, an arsenal which was built by"
countries such as the Soviet Union,
Italy, and Germany, Klinc said.

This arsenal consists of about
5,000 tanks, 70 anti—aircraft rockets
and one million troops - 450,000
stationed in Kuwait and 550.000 in
Iraq. Most of the tanks were sup‘
plied by the United States and Great
Britain.

Also, Iraq has a mid-range mis-
silc, known as the “Scudder mis-
sile," developed by the Soviet Un-
ion, which could present the biggest
threat to world peace if launched
into Israel. Kline said.

Kline said this arsenal sets a sce-
nario for war when coupled with a
man who he termed “someone who
represents a threat to not only Mid-
dle East stability, but, quite frankly,
to world stability.”

Kline called this possibility of
war “ironic considering it's close
to one year after the destruction of
the Berlin Wall," and said such a
war could result in the loss of
50,000 to 75,000 US. troops in four
to seven days.

The confusion some have about
the conflict stems from the uncer-
tainty many Americans have as ‘1)
why American troops are in the
Middle East. Kline said while no
one has clearly articulated why the
United States is there and why sol-
diers‘ lives are at risk, part of the
reason 200,000 troops are in Saudi
Arabia is to protect economic inter-
ests —~ mainly the Oil America re-
ceives from the Saudis.

By the beginning of next Febru-
ary. 500,000 troops will be in Saudi
Arabia, plus the “world‘s largest na-
val armada,“ six aircraft carriers,
and “extremely sophisticated com-
munication cqurpmcnt,"

Despite moves to LlV’Old another
situation like the Vietnam War,
lickmcpan said “it‘s going to be
\cry rlill‘icult for the Bush adminis-
tration to Justify an attack on the Ira-
qis, unless Bush is able to go to the
American people after he has tried
to negotiate peace with Saddam
Hussein." Also, the President I'CJCCI-
ed a plan by Congress to hold a joint
session for the purpose of express-
ing the will of the American people.

“This is dangerous, unless the
American people are wrlling to fully
suppon the war clfort," Kline said.
He said he thinks this will be highly
deubtful, especially once support for
troops dies down and IRS. casualties

Underdog Cats hoping to take bite out of Gators

By DWAYNE HUFF
Staff Writer

When UK hosts University of
Florida in its last home game tomor-
row aftemoon, the Cats will be 21-
point underdogs.

What better way to celebrate
UK's last home game than with an
upset of the fifth-ranked Gators?

But as even the most uninterested
fan knows, the Steve Spurrier-
charged Gators may be the toughest
team on UK’s schedule. With a
combination of flash and strength,
Florida has trampled and stream-

lined through teams all season.

“There will be a time in which
we are heavy underdogs and we
whip somebody,“ UK coach Bill
Curry said. “That needs to happen.
What this team has to decide is if
they would like for that to be new.“

Florida (8—1 overall. 3-2 in the
SEC) has stacked up some impres-
sive numbers -— both offensively
and defensively.

"Ibis is far and away the best
team we've played this year," Curry
said. “I cannot remember when I've
been more impressed with a foot-
ball team than I am (new with) this

Florida team. . . All that does is
cause us to work hard and to pre-
pare better to get ready to play our
best game."

Offensivcly, Florida ranks No. I
in the Southeastern Conference. Led
by quarterback Shane Matthews, the
offense has rolled up an average of
439.7 yards per game in total of—
tense.

Matthews, known for his cool
control of the gridiron, ha thrown
for 2,298 yards and 17 touchdowns
this season and is averaging 255.3
yards a game, while completing
6| .4 percent of his passes.

UK (4-5 overall, 3-2 SEC) must
put pressure on Matthews if it wants
to stop Florida's of fensc.

“I think that we can do things to
get pressure on him," noseguard
Joey Couch said. “I just think that
it‘s going to take a little extra effort.
We‘re really going to have to play
our best game —— our best game in-
diVidualIy on the field."

Curry‘s basic defensive plan is to
try to baffle Matthews with his mul-
tiple—set defense.

“We have got to start by finding

 2 - Kentucky Kernel, Friday. November 16, 1990

On recruits:

By RICK GREENE
Staff Writer

After signing out all four eligible
recruits for the coming season. UK
coach Rick Pitino yesterday dis-
cussed the players whom he had
signed.

As expected, Chris Harrison. An-
dre Riddick, Aminu Tirnberlake and
Dale Brown signed national letters
of intent to play for the Wildcats.
The four recruits committed in the
outset of the early signing period
(NOV. 14-21).

Hanison, who is a senior at Tol-
lesboro High School this season,
was the only signee from Kentucky.

“We only want players that want
us as much as want them,” Pitino
said. “That type of desire is impor-
tant to us. We’re going to win with

these kind of
players."
Harrison, a 6-
3 guard who av-
eraged 32.7
points. six re-
bounds and four
assists per game
as a junior, oral-
ly committed to
UK last Novem-
ber: . PITINO
Riddick, a 6-9
center from Brooklyn, N.Y.. will

add a new dimension to UK's in-
side game, Pitino said.

“Andre Riddick gives us some-
thing we don’t have right now.” Pit-
ino said. “He's an outstanding shot
blocker and that‘s something we
need.”

Riddick averaged eight blocked
shots to complement his 14 points
and 12 rebounds a game last year at
Bishop Loughlin High School.

Timberlake, 3 6-9 forward from
Chicago’s De La Salle High
School, made his commitment

shortly after UK's annual Midnight
Madness, which kicked off UK's
basketball season.

“You recruit on potential more
than anything else.” Pitino said.
“Both of these players (Riddick and
Timberlake) will be (NBA) draft
choices if they have the desire.”

Timberlake averaged 12 points.
eight rebounds and four assists a
game as a junior at De La Salle.

But Riddick and Tirnberlake will
have to bulk up, Pitino said.

“Their weight really didn't con-

cern me too much, because we've
got the best facilities and the best
strength coaches in the country," he
said.

Brown, a 6-3 guard from Missis-
sippi Gulf Coast Junior College,
may be the biggest impact player of
the four.

“A shooting guard is a missing
link in our team right now," Pitino
said. “We couldn’t afford to have a
player come in and make freshman
mistakes."

Chris Webber. a 6-9 center-

itino likes what he’s seen and signed

forward from Detroit. is another
possible recruit for UK. If Webber
chooses UK. which has handed out
all of its possible scholarships. an
exchange is expected to be made.

Deron Feldhaus, known for his
selfless play, may give his scholar-
ship to Webber.

“My players are like a second
fmnily to me," Pitino said. “I told
Deron it was completely up to him.
I told him if he was uncomfortable
with the situation we would not to
do it."

Eight players return from last sea-

These players, plus seven freshmen,
will take on the Canadians.

Fanning said the Kats will face
tough — and tall —— competition to-
night.

“From what we can tell, Canada
is very deep in terms of 6-foot-2
players starting and 6-foot-2 players
coming in,” Fanning said.

And the Canadians, with an aver-
age age of 25, have the experience
to use that height to their advantage.
The squad is coming off a 73-68
victory over the Vanderbilt Lady
Commodores Monday in Nashville.
The win came after an 88—77 loss to
the University of Tennessee.

Center Janet Fowler, one of the 6-
foot-2 players Fanning mentioned.
led Canada in the loss to Tennessee
with eight rebounds and 27 points.
Her points included an impressive

12 points on 13 attempts from the
line.

Fowler and her backup, Andrea
Blackwell, also 6-foot-2, make up
what could be considered Canada’s
twin towers.

,In the loss, Fowler also drilled a
three-pointer. The three-point shot
is something, Fanning said, that the
Canadians have going for them.

“Every player on the team can
shoot the three-point shot,” she said.
“They are offensive and they're ag-
gressive.

Other top Canadian players in-
clude guard Karla Karch, who led
them in the win over Vanderbilt
with 16 points and forward Anna
Stammberger (10 points).

Leading the Kats will be junior
guard Kristi Cushenberry, who av-

es.

Heart concert gave eclectic mix

By “Cl-MEL L. HUFF
Comributing Writer

Two of the most popular rock
bands in the world performed be-
fore an audience of thousands
Wednesday night at Rupp Arena.
The crowd was ready to experience
a fantastic show with two bands it
grew up with -- Heart and Cheap
Trick.

The evening started with the loud
and rebellious sounds of Cheap
Trick. Lead vocalist Robin Zander
was in top form, and many of the
songs Cheap Trick performed were
very demanding on his vocal
chords. But it hardly fazed Zander
until near the end of the perfor-
mance.

The group opened their perfor-
mance with “Busted.” the title track
from their latest album of the same
name

The crowd didn't get into the act
quite as expected at the beginning,
but fortune was good for the veteran
band. As soon as the audience heard
“ ‘Allo Kiddies," people began
dancing and singing along.

Perhaps the loudest arid best re-
ception from the audience came
with Cheap Trick‘s performance of
the all-time classic “I Want You to
Want Me.”

The audience sounded like a Pep-
si when you first pom it and hold it
up to your ear.

Among the new tunes were
“Wherever Would I Be?" and
“Can’t Stop Falling Into Love.”
Those songs were performed almost
flawlessly and sounded great.

The slower tempo of “Don't Be
Cruel" didn’t prevent audience in-
teraction.

Although the new material sound-
ed great, the classics still won the
evening, especially after a disap~
pointing version of “The Flame."

Probably the best song during
Cheap Trick's show was the classic,
“The Dream Police.” The band got
so carried away that Nielsen had to
replace a broken string during the
tune.

Then, the headlining act emerged
from the darkness. Clad in velvet
and leather, the band looked like a
group of rock 'n‘ roll soldiers. Heart
opened with “Falling From Grace”
as people in the audience almost
lost their minds.

The harmonics of Anne and her
sister Nancy were tight and impres-
sive. Anne’s voice was a little shaky
through the first two tunes, but even
professionals like Anne have been
known to get stage fright.

But no one cared anyway and the
audience was not let down in the
least.

“How Can I Refuse?" was flaw-
less. The Wilson sisters are still go-
ing strong in the vocals department
after so many years of good music.
It is really hard to believe how the
yearscanbesopartialtosofew
people. and the women of Heart are
among the fortunate few.

Heart tried a nasty funk groove
for “Straight On for You." It
worked like a charm and showed
just how versatile the band actually
lS.

Of course, the band did plenty of
new songs off their latest album,

Brigade. including a passionate, “I
Didn't Want to Need You."

The light show and stage set was
hip and artistic. The lights had all
the colors of the spectrum. and the
drum stage was high and geometri-
cally sharp. Although the new al-
bum is no new direction for Heart,
the look of an ultra-modem stage
and colonial looking outfits was a
real contrast.

Nancy gave an awesome perfor-
mance on “Stranded." The show
was long, but these women had
voices that could go the distance
and then some.

A listener of music in many gen-
res will note the extensive use of
acoustic instruments in Heart’s act.
This band has an excellent folk in-
fluence.

The show was an eclectic mix
that catered to everyone from
screaming teen-agers to rock fans
of past generations.

Anne is known for her flute-
playing on occasions and also plays
an autoharp on “Under the Sky."
This was a dreamy ballad about
“sleeping under the stars." Heart
displayed a real flair for the roman—
tic and soft.

Then it was time to rock again.
Almost everyone there sang along
with a rocking rendition of “If
Looks Could Kill." The band’s
friendly interaction with the audi-
ence gave a personal air to the
show - at least to those who were
sitting on the floor.

A romantic “These Dreams” was
performed to near perfection.

Nancy had a little trouble with
the highest notes in the tune, but it
hardly affected the overall perfor-
mance.

However, “Never," proved a fair-
ly weak live tune. The use of guitar
and synthesizer can be a fairly diffi-
cult job for one person, and it took
away the musical depth of the song.
The audience sang along anyway.

‘J acob’s Ladder’
stimulates mind,
excites emotions

By MCHAEL L JONES
Senior Staff Writer

Like the central figure in Franz
Kaflta’s “The Trial,” Jacob Singer
(Tim Robbins) is being punished
without knowing the crime he has
committed. Demons with vibrating,
featureless heads are turning his
waking hours into nightmares and
murdering his friends.

He knows it has something to do
with his last day in Vietnam, a day
he can’t remember. But everyone
around him seems convinced that he
should never know his crime.

The recently released “Jacob's
Ladder” documents the blurring of
the line between reality and fantasy
in Singer's mind

Director Adrian Lynne attempts
to take you, along with Singer, on a
trip through the hell that lies in the
mind But the end result is just utter
confusion.

in “Jacob's Ladder" a little confu-

sion could be a good thing, but
Lynne takes it overboard.

The story is told from Singer’s
point of view. The camera isn’t om-
niscient —- we learn things only
when Jacob does.

This works in the case of the de-
mons. We are forced to react to
them at the same time and in the
same way Singer does. We never
know if they are real or not.

However, because Singer doesn't
verbalize his resolutions, the end be-
comes confusing.

Were there really demons on his
trail or was it just good drugs (as
one character suggests)? Scriptwrit-
er Bnice Joel Rubin (“‘Ghost" and
“Brainstonn") leaves that for you to
decide.

Robbins gives an excellent perfor-
mance as Singer. Best known for his
comedic work in “Bull Durham"
“Tapeheads” and “Erik the Viking,"
he plays Singer as an everyman,
someone with nothing exceptioml

Anne and Nancy WilSOn, members of the popular rock band Heart, performed in front of an enthusiastic
crowd Wednesday night at Rupp Arena. Opening for Heart was Cheap Trick.

forward on “Alone,” originally in-
tended to be the last song of Heart‘s
show. But the audience would not
allow it. Screams of “Barracuda”
filled the arena. The audience was
hungry for more Heart and didn’t
become tacit until they got it.
Everyone was treated to more

“make y0u guys swoon" romance
with “What About Love?" Many

men serenaded Wilson with propo-
sals while she played and sang her
heart out (no pun intended).

The audience refused to leave.
There was to be no test for the
weary in Rupp Arena that night as
many in the audience screamed for
“Barracuda.“

The band gave one of the finest
performances of the evening with

this one, probably Heart's most pop-
ular classic song. If Heart had left
Lexington without this vital perfor-
mance, not many people would have
felt as satisfied.

After the song was finished, the
screaming and cheering subsided
somewhat.

The entire group gave a bow to
their loving fans and left.

Jacob (Tim Robbins) cannot understand why, or by whom, he is being tormented in ‘Jacob‘s Ladder.‘

about him. His subdued perfor-
mance seems to say, "Hey. this can
happen to anyone. Even a guy like
you or me.“

Elizabeth Pena (“La Bamba“ and
"Down and Out in Beverly Hills")
is austandout in her under-utilized

role as Jezzie. Jacob‘s spirited girl-
friend.

Like all of Lynne’s films (“Fatal
Attraction" and “9 1/2 Weeks").
this film looks great. The demons,
modeled after figures in a Francis
Bacon painting. are haunting, not

gross. Lynne knows that what you
don‘t see can scare you as much as
what you do see.

"Jacob‘s Ladder" is not the most
terrifying movre of the year, but the
concepts it deals wnh are good food
for the Main.

de Deux" from “Swan Lake.” Na-
cho Duato's “Na Floresta” and two

Kudelka, the company’s resident
choreographer since 1984. has been
called “the most imaginative chore-
ographic voice to come out of bal-
let in the last decade" by The New
York Times.

Among the remarkable pieces
Kudelka has added to the compa-
ny’s repertoire are “In Paradisum."

piece. Scheduled for performance

Movie focuses on dreams for images

By D. H. WILLIAMS
Stall Critic

“Akira Kurosawa’s Dreams"
makes a strong argument for and
against the use of dreams as cine-
matic inspiration.

Getting that critical statement out
of my system, I can save the reader
from pondering a detailed dissec-
tion of a film that's not made to be
cut apart, since it‘s already inten-
tionally fractured.

The best approach is to comment

on Kurosawa’s motives as they ap-
pear in the film. When dreams in-
spire a filmmaker to create. the
trick is to be able to translate the ir-
rational actions and visions of the
dream into a rational verbal and
visual language.

Many films stage their dreams a
excuses for excessive images and
hyperactive camera work, but rare-
ly do dreams occur that way.
Dreams are a variation of ordinary
life, so they tend to appear ordi-
nary, when actually they are left of

center.

Things that seem weird in reality
are accepted as commonplace in
dreams.

Kurosawa exploits that idea to
the fullest in the eight film shons
that represent eight dreams from
each decade in his life. At 80, Ku-
rosawa is still a master of bringing
the most out of actors and particu-
larly, many actors. The scenes that
have crowds engaged in panic or
ritual never seem cluttered or con-
fused. He maintains focus by pre-
senting himself — as a child, a
young man and a man in his prime
-— in his dreams.

Perhaps a criticism of the film
would be of the motive for making
it. Certainly, these dreams made an
impression on Kurosawa and at his
age, he felt it was time to visualize
them.

But five years ago, Kurosawa
made a film that seemed to be the

perfect swan song.

This movie, “Ran,” was an expe-
rience in human emotion taken to
incredible extremes.

Except dreams. But dreams are so
personal sometimes that they make
a little impression on the viewer, ex-
cept the obvious visual excellence
or equally obvious meaning of each
dream.

We experience what Kurosawa
experienced, but it’s not the same
because it didn’t come from our
lives.

“Akira Kurosawa’s Dreams” is a
docudrarna about Kurosawa’s mind.
As a swan song, it’s a collection of
visually varied fragments that could
never be films by themselves.

But maybe this isn’t his last film.
I certainly hope not.

“Akira Kurosawa'r Dreams" is
showing at Loews in Fayette Mall
on Nicholas'ville Rd.
