SGA has important agenda in senate meeting

Condom bill, office hours
to be voted on once again

By C .A. DUANE BONIFER
Associate Editor

and JAY BLANTON
Executive Editor

The Student Government Associa-
tion Senate will decide tonight
whether to follow a task force's rec—
ommendation on whether to place
condom vending machines in the
basement rest rooms of six UK dor~
mitories.

According to David Botkins, chair-
man of the Sexual Safety and
Awareness Task Force. about 15
SGA senators have said they will
vote for the resolution. five senators
said they plan to vote against it, and
15 said they are undecided.

Botkins. an SGA senator at large,
said 15 of those undecided “are lean-
ing towards it. I feel by tomorrow
morning they will be for it,“ he said.

He said the resolution should pass
by a 3-1 margin.

One of those senators who is still
undecided is Business & Economics
Senator Mary Tripp Reed.

Reed was one of the seven sen-
ators who voted against the SGA
resolution that called for a study of

the prevention of acquired immune
deficiency syndrome and unwanted
pregnancies, but she said she has
not yet decided how she stands on
this issue.

The second plank of the resolution
calls for distributing condoms at
Student Health Services. Reed said
the resolution does not do enough to
promote that plank.

“I don't like the way it‘s em-
phasizing condom machines in the
bathrooms instead that people can
go to the Medical Center and get
them.“ she said.

Reed said she will not decide on
the resolution until it is debated on
the senate floor.

“I just want to see what they have
for us and see if we can work with
something better.“ she said.

If the resolution passes. it will be
sent to the administration. Botkins
said overwhelming support of the
resolution is needed because “if it's
a real close vote, it might send some
mixed signals to the administra-
tion."

One of the resolution‘s proponents,
Senator at Large Leah McCain. said
several senators who were initially

DAVID BOTKINS

opp05ed to the resolution have
“faced reality" and now support it.

But she said if the resolution ends
up passing, it will be by a "very
slim margin.“

While Botkins was lobbying sen-
ators in support of the resolution.
SGA Senator at Large David Moore
was trying to convince senators to
vote against it.

"There are a lot of people in sup-
port of it and against it,” he said,

RFL seeking rate increase
from student government

By JAY BLANTON
Executive Editor

Radio Free Lexington representa—
tives will ask the Student Govern-
ment Association tonight to recom-
mend an increase in student
activities fees next semester.

RFL is seeking a $1 increase in
student fees each semester to fund
the proposed student-run radio sta-
tion. If SGA were to consider and
recommend a fee increase. the UK
Board of Trustees could vote to
raise activities fees at its Oct. 20
meeting

If the BOT votes to raise student
fees. then the radio station could be
on the air when students come back
to school next semester. RFL mem<
hers say.

A recent phone survey. sponsored
by SGA. showed that almost 78 per-
cent of the students are in favor of
raising student fees to fund the sta-
tion.

Because the fee-increase proposal
did not go through the normal com-
mittee process. the rules at tonight's
SGA meeting will have to be sus
pended before the senate can consid-

er the proposal. said SGA President
(‘yndi Weaver. ’l‘woAthirds ol' the

rules.

Weaver said she anticipates no
problems with suspending the rules
or with the proposal passing the sen-
ale.

crease will allow construction to

”Watch. someone will call in
and say. ‘Hey. I want to hear that
AC-DC blues song. . “

Harris gives the intro to kick
off her “ ‘Round Midnight" blues
show. and within minutes her
first caller is on the line. “ ‘Back

Of course. what Harris says
and what Harris does are two
different things.

After all, you have to draw the
line somewhere as to what is
blues and what is not. Harris
takes her working definition of
“blues“ from the movie,
“Crossroads": “ ‘The blues is
nothing but a good man feeling
bad,‘ " she says. And suddenly
AC-DC‘s “Back in Black“ doesn’t
seem to fit the bill.

However, not all of the callers
suffer from misconception-of-the-
blues. “The phone really never
stops ringing.“ says Harris, also
a communications senior at UK.

"People will call up. especially if a person has a favorite rock
‘n' roll album and they remember a blues track like Led
Zepplin‘s “I Can‘t Quit You Babe" and “You Shook Me" and

“ ‘Round Midnight,“ which happens every Sunday night
from 11 pm. to midnight on 93.1. WKQQ-FM, is now six months
old. Harris attributes its initial success to “the cycles of music.
What comes around goes around. The blues emerge from time
to time because so much of rock ‘n’ roll is based on the blues."

She sees the current blues revival as a try-product of the
recent push being made by major record labels to get acts like
Stevie Ray Vaughn, Robert Cray and the Fabulom
Thunderbirds into the mainstream market. “That’s often the
way it happens. It‘s not like one day everbody goes, ‘It‘s a
blues day! Oh man. I‘ve got to go down to Cut Corner!‘ “

“ ‘Round Midnight“ originally began as an outgrowth of
“All That Jazz,“ a fusion jazz show, also hosted by Harris. But
when Harris returned to WKQQ last spring after a one-year
leave-of-absence. she expressed a desire to dedicate a one-hour
time slot strictly to the blues. “My feeling about jazz is that it‘s
becoming very poporiented. And that‘s fine. But I just wanted
to expose different types of music and so I moved into the
blues from that angle."

It was Belloro‘s idea to slot the show at the midnight hour.

“ ‘Round Midnight“ incorporates blues from 60 years ago to

Social work college receives grant to help teaching

By LISA A. BROWN
Contributing Writer

The College of Social Work has re-
ceived a grant of $132,000 to develop
a model educational curriculum for
training child welfare workers. said
Dean S. Zafar Hasan.

The college will join the local
chapter of the National Association
of Social Workers and three public
child welfare agencies in working to-
gether to reduce the gap between
preservice education and the re-
quirements for agency workers in
order to improve curriculum, said
Duane Regan. Children‘s Bureau of-
ficial.

The three agendas are the state
departments of social services. edu-

cation and mental health and retar-
dation.

UK was named one of only six uni-
versities to receive the grant from
the United States Department of
Health and Human Services.
According to LC. Wolfe. assistant
dean of students in the College of So
cial Work, the grant will entail four
elements of study divided over a 17-
month span.

The college has already started
the initial background work for the
project. As of September, letters
were sent to the agencies employing
their help. The college will be in
volved with the project until Feb-
ruary 1909.

The first element of study will be
to compare the curriculum of UK‘s

study to the curriculum of the wel-
fare agencias involved. "We‘ll look
at what we're already teaching and
see if we need to create new courses
or eliminate others.“ Wolfe said.

The second course of study in-
volves exchanging faculty between
UK and the child welfare agencies.
UK will hire agency workers and
place them in the classroom to
teach. ”We‘d like to educate social
workers on the way they ought to
teach." Wolfe said.

UK faculty will be available to the
child welfare agencies to write
material and to serve in other ca-
pacities. "We‘d like to eliminate the
gap between what people need to
know and what we teach them,"
Wolfesaid.

According to Chet Holmquist.
president of the local social workers
association. “We are most inter-
ested as a professional organization
in having the best qualified persons,
in experience and training. he at the
front line of child welfare pro-
grams.“

The third focal point is to accumu-
late enough research to support the
idea that social workers who have
degrees in social work fare better in
their careers than those social work-
ers who have degrees in other fields.
The social workers association will
introduce a bill at the next state
General Assembly that would re-
quire social workers in Kentucky to
have a bachelor‘s degree in social
work.

The final element of the project is
to publish a book based on the six
university's findings. "The results of
the research will be sent to «too other
schools of social work.“ Wolfe said.

The book, a collaboration of all the
ideas based on the research. will in-
clude information from experts in
other related fields. such as psychol-
ogy, law, pediatrics. psychiatry. ed-
ucation and child development. The
book will be used as a teaching uten-
sil.

“I hope that our work will make a
meaningful impact on the quality of
training of child welfare workers in
the state and the nation. and will
lead to better services for children."
Hasan said.

Fire closes Kentucky Theatre;

Early Saturday. two days before
the Kentucky Theatre‘s 65th anni-
versary, a fire temporarily closed
its doors.

The theater now resembles an
abandoned structure in a ghost

The fire. which caused about

WASHINGTON —- Judge Rob-
ert Bork's embattled nomination
to the Supreme Court suffered its
worst setback yet as the Senate
Judiciary Committee voted 9-5
yesterday to recommend his re-
jection and a key Southern Demo-
crat and a fifth Republican joined
the opposition.

Sen. Joseph Biden, D-Del., the
committee chairman. said he
didn‘t see “any reasonable pros-
pect that Judge Bork will be con-
firmed.“

Reagan insisted at the White
House that he would not give up
the fight. But his spokesman said
"it's tough" to win now. And Tom
Korologos. a lobbyist brought in
by the White House for the Bork
fight. said, “I'm not kidding any-
body; I'm not sure it‘s over but
we 're in trouble.“

Some Democrats were openly
urging Reagan to find a replace-
mentnominee.

The Judiciary Committee rec-
ommended that the full Senate
reject the nomination when it
comes up for a vote. probably
within two weeks.

Before the vote, Reagan reject-
ed all talk of giving up. “There‘s
no backing off. I‘m going all
out.“hesaid.

White House spokesman Marlin
Fitzwater said after the commit-
tee made its decision: “We‘re
disappointed but we're pushing
ahead.“ He conceded, “It‘s
tough. There‘s no doubt about it.“

The committee vote fell rough-
ly along party lines, with Sen.
Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania

Court nomination
experiences setback

the only Republican to join eight
Democrats in recommending re-
jection of Bork's nomination. The
committee‘s five other Republi-
cam were on Bork‘s side.

Before its final vote. the panel
voted 9-5 against sending the
nomination to the full Senate with
a recommendation that it be ap-
proved.

The outcome had been ex-
pected. But Sen. Howell Heflin‘s
decision was smpenseful. and his
support was coveted by both
sides.

'1 must vote no,“ he said, add~
ing that he was following the old
adage, “When in doubt, don‘t."

Heflin's defection was partic-
ularly damaging to Bork‘s
chances for confirmation, since
White House officials were hop-
ing to use a “yes" vote from the
former Alabama Supreme Court
justice to attract other conserva-
tive Southern Democrats to
Bork‘s side.

The committee moved to send
the nomination to the full Senate
for a final showdown later this
month.

The nomination suffered anoth‘
er setback when Sen. Robert T.
Stafford. R-Vt.. became the fifth
Republican senator to announce
his opposition.

The committee debate mir-
rored arguments made for
weeks.

Sen. Dennis DeConcini. D-Ariz..
urged Reagan to withdraw the
nomination. “Let's begin again."
he said.

io" works as planned. the station
could be on the air next semester.

However. Anderson said the group
is being a little too optimistic be—

cause there are still a number of
things that could go wrong between
now and January.

“Things don't always go according
to plan at this University." Ander-
sonsaid.

Kentucky Kernel,

Candidates Combs, Cowan show different views in

By MARK R. CHEuﬁlIEN
Associated Press

LEXINGTON —- The two candi-
dates for attorney general displayed
differing attitudes toward the office
during a debate yesterday.

Republican Chris Combs concen-
trated on the prosecutorial duties of
the office, while Democrat Fred
Cowan said the office has a variety
of important responsibilities that he
will address.

“I am the only prosecutor in the
race for attorney general.“ said

Combs. a former county attorney in
Estiii Coimty. “i am the best qual-
ified by experience to be the attor-
ney general.”

Combs questioned Cowan’s experi-
ence in prosecution, but the state
representative from Louisville said
it is important to have a broad
range of experience.

Cowan said he will concentrate on
issues such as collecting child-sup-
port payments, promoting integrity
in government and helping resolve
the crowding of jails and prisons.

“We can’t be tough on crime if

there's no place to put criminals,“
Cowan said.

Cowan listed several other areas
he considered important in the of-
fice. including providing help to
local prosecutors and working on
consumer protection issues.

Combs said he would create a spe-
cial prosecution section to deal with
drug cases and white-collar crimes.

Combs said he was unfamiliar
with some workings of the office and
the incumbent attorney general,
David Armstrong. had not provided
a requested briefing.

equal rights for women, wrong on
the right to privacy and wrong on
freedom of speech. And President
Reagan is wrong to try to put
him on the Supreme Court.”

But supporters praised Bork’s
intellect and integrity. and said
he was the subject of unfair crit-
icism.

“The nation will be ill-served if
the Senate rejects this remarka-
ble man,“ said Senate Republi—
can Whip Alan Simpson of Wyom-
ing.

Sen. Orrin Hatch — himself
mentioned as a possible substi-

tute nominee — said, “If we poli-
ticize the judiciary of this coun.
try we will lose one of the
most valued liberties and free-
doms."

Reagan was described as angry
at the mounting opposition to
Bork as he promised to maintain
the fight for Bork‘s nomination.
However. the president also ac-
knowledged. “Our work is cut out
for us. We have a lot to do before
the floor vote."

Senate Minority Leader Bob
Dole. R-Kan.. admitted after the
White House meeting that “we

0Bork rejected by committee

are still short a few according to
my count“ of the todmember
Senate.

“1 think he’s angry about it,"

.. Dole said said of Reagan. “He

feels personally had about some
of the Republicans. I must add.
and some of the Democrats who
have politicized this confirma-
tion. 1 think he used the words
that ‘it has taken a lot of the dig-
nity away from the entire proc-

ess.

Dole added, “We haven‘t given
up.“

Both candidates agreed that an
important role of the attorney gener~
al’s office involves intervention in
utility cases. especially where com-
panies are seeking rate increases.

Combs said attorneys in the utility
intervention division “are snowed
under with work." and he would
place added emphasis on the sub—
ject.

Cowan agreed that the office
needed more support and said he
would ask the General Assembly to
provide it.

Cowan repeatedly cited his experi-

ence in the legislature as an asset
for him and asked Combs how he
would persuade lawmakers to help
the attorney general's office.

Combs said he has experience
working with the legislature from
his days as county attorney.

The candidates were not asked the
same questions by a panel of jour-
nalists during the 30-minute debate

Elections for two freshman sen-
ator positions will be held Oct. 14
and 15.

Will Renshaw. freshman elections
board chairman, said about 15 peo-
ple are running for the senate. a
one-third increase over last year.

The two elected freshman sen-
ators are expected to serve on the
student senate. Renshaw said it
gives freshmen the chance to be‘
come active within the University.

0Condom proposal, office hours to be voted on

"but there should be enough sen-
ators sitting on the fence that could
bepersuaded."

One group of students, Students
Against Condoms on Campus. has
come out against the resolution. A
petition signed by 74 students was
presented to the SGA campus rela~
lions committee last week objecting
to condoms possibly being placed on
campus.

The group‘s spokesman. David
Gabbard. said, “this institution is
here to educate me whether I should
use a condom. “

“If we push abstinence and con—
trol instead of condoms for one‘s
own sex desires, how many lives can
we save then?" Gabbard said.

Senator at Large Ken Payne said
he opposes the proposal because the
third plank of the resolution calls for

the distribution of condoms on cam-
pus.
“I don‘t see how I could go to
church and look my priest in the eye
and say I voted to put condoms in
dormitories." he said.

Payne. however. said the resolu-
tion would probably be passed “un-
less some senators re-examine their
commitment and vote against it."

Even if SGA passes the resolution,
Payne said he wouldn’t be surprised
if it was rejected by the UK admin-
istration.

Senator at Large Linda Bridwell.
another strong opponent of the reso-
lution. said, “in light of the AIDS ep-
idemic something needs to be done,
but I don‘t think putting condoms in
the rest rooms is the answer. "

In the last senate meeting, SGA
voted 18-13 in favor of the amend-
ment proposal, but it failed to pass
because an amendment to SGA's
constitution requires a two-thirds
majority to pass.

The legislation would have re-
quired senators to attend all SGA
functions and designate one hour a
week that they will spend in the of-
fice.

This time around. however, the
legislation has been changed to a
bill -— which requires a flat majori-
tv.

Senior Vice President Susan
Bridges. who sponsored the bill. said
that since the legislation was
changed from an amendment to a
bill. it has a better chance of pass-
ing the senate floor.

In addition. Bridges said she
thinks some of the "logistical prob-
lems" that some senators had with
the office hours legislation has been
ironed out.

Weaver said that in addition to
changing the legislation to a bill. a
lot of lobbying has gone on to
change senators' minds about office
hours since the last meeting.

Weaver said she thinks the bill
will now pass. But then again. she
said. "you just never know what
they're going to do.“

.zTonght's SGA senate meeting
will be held in the basemant of Blaz-
er Hall. Bridges is having the senate
travel to different locations of the
campus this year in order to make it
more accessible to the student body.
The meeting begins at 7:30 pm.
