Education rules changing ■ Bill, task force report qall for major teacher training revisions By Joe Castle Managing adMor

Task force recommcndalions on educating teachers in Kentucky, putt of which some university administrators and faculty call alarm- ing, are on their way to becoming legislation this week.

The main supporter of the legislation. Sen. Ed Ford, EVCynthiana, said he was "shocked" when he found out about the opposition voiced by university representatives at the Council on Higher Eduction meeting Monday.

"I guest we're all a little taken aback by the

opposition," Ford said. "It kind of shocked us."

Mast of the contro- versy surrounds certain recommendations from the Report of the Governor's Task Force on Teacher Prepararion, the findings of a group appointed by Gov. Brereton Jones last June to revise teacher preparation at stale universities to com- ply with the Kentucky Education Reform Act

Ford said there were representatives from the state schools at the original task force hearings last semester, but they didn't raise any concerns then.

"No one voiced any opposition to it during the hearings last year," Ford said. "We knew the KEA wasn't in love with it. But I believe Hanly (Funderburk. Eastern's president) and some of the university people were there,and they didn't

say anything then.** However, Eastern's vice president for i

demic affairs and research Russell Enzie said he and several other university delegates attended the hearings but weren't given a chance to stale their opinions on the recommendations.

Funderburk and faculty regent Richard Freed both addressed the Council on Higher Education Monday in Frankfort to voice their opposition to some of the recommendations.

Funderburk told the council that teacher education reform must include input from the education faculty at the slate universities before it can work.

"We have got to keep these people involved if we are going to be successful,'' Funderburk said. "We simply have not had time to handle the task force issue property."

Lineman dies from gunshot wound By Amy Etmans Editor

It seemed unbelievable to the Keough family . They had only spoken to their son John four hours earlier, and now the Madison County coroner was telling them he was dead.

But it was true. At 12:35 am. Saturday morning, John

Morton Keough, 21, a sophomore psychology major from St. Petersburg, Ha., and an offensive lineman for the Colonels football team, was pronounced dead at Pattie A. Clay Hospi- tal from a single gunshot wound to the head from a .38 caliber Colt revolver.

According to police reports, the following is an account of the events surrounding Kcough's death.

Keough was at a bar in downtown Rich- mond and during an argument with his ex- girlfriend, Natalie Guerrera, Keough threat- ened to kill himself. Shortly thereafter, Keough got the key to teammate Joel Woods'O'Donnell Hall room. No. 116, so, as Woods described, Keough could "chill out."

Four teammates, who were asked by Guerrera to talk to Keough, came back to O'Donnell Hall to find him. Two of the team- males — Brent Rhodes and Joe Birkenhauer — stood outside in the grass looking through the opened window of Woods' first floor room, and two others — Brandyon Branuey and Roger Orlandini—stood in the doorway leading to the hallway of the residence hall. All four were all trying to calm Keough, who already had the gun in his hand.

Both Brantlcy and Rhodes said Keough had the barrel of the revolver in his mouth before he placed it up to his right temple. Orlandini said that Keough told them to "stay back" just before Keough shot himself.

Orlandini then ran to the lobby to get help.

The rain continued to fall outside the Medi- tation Chapel Wednesday evening as more than 75 people crowded inside, sitting solemnly together to remember a young man — an athlete and a friend.

They cried and they prayed for John Morion Keough, who died Saturday.

The majority of both Eastern's football team and volleyball team were there. President Hanly Funderburk and his wife Helen were there. His coaches were there. And John Morton Keough was there in spirit. Coach Roy Kidd said.

"We should remember John as we knew John," Kidd said. "John had a unique smile about him, and I was impressed with him when I first met him." '

In a gesture in Kcough's memory, next fall as the football team takes the field to mark a new season, they will be wearing Kcough's No. 57 on their helmets.

"He will be with us there without a doubt," Kidd said.

Lackey, Metcalf face off in debate By Angle Hatton News editor

The two candidates far the recently vacated 34th district senatorial seal differ very little in their stands on the issues, as they demonstrated in a debate held Monday by the Madison County League of Women Voters.

The opponents basically support the same side of most issues, even though they have different reasons for doing so.

Their approaches to politics and campaigning and their individual de- meanors, however, are completely opposite.

Republican Barry Metcalf, a 34- year-old general contract builder, is young, energetic and smiles a lot.

Democratic candidate John Lackey, a 52-year-old lawyer, is mature, possesses a large vocabulary and responds to questions in a somber tone.

Perhaps it was because of their similar opinions, though, that the debate remained mild and orderly as questions were presented lo the candidates Monday by representatives

Senate defeats GUESS proposal By Brett Dunlap Assistant photo oditor

Homosexuals will not be given any special treatment at Eastern following a vote in the student senate Tuesday night.

A resolution which would have included sexual preference in the university's affirmative action policy was voted down by the senate.

"It is sad," saidScn. Gilbert While, who co-sponsored the resolution. "What we did here today was a joke."

White said the resolution would have had an impact on everyone in how the university could legally fight discrimination.

"I' m a heterosexual," he said. "But I know I would not want lo be discriminated against for anything."

Chancy said people in this world are discriminated against for various reasons, and the senate needed to take a stand regardless of public opinion.

Morehead losing grid scholarships By Don Perry Assistant news editor

Eastern rival and fellow Ohio Valley Conference member Morehead State University is one step closer to non-scholarship football after the school's Board of Regents unani- mously voted to cut the grants during a meeting March 7.

Since the proposal was made by Morehead President Ronald G. Eag lin lo cut all scholarships by the 1998 academic year, many of the Morehead players have decided lo quit the team, and the school faces possible expul- sion from the OVC.

The OVC university presidents, including Eastern President Hanly Funderburk, are scheduled to meet at Middle Tennessee State University June 2-3. The presidents would have

to either allow Morehead to play at any scholarship level or vole them out of (he conference by a two-thirds vote.

"They cannot remain in the OVC with no football scholarships," Funderburk said.

Like Morehead, Eastern too must make some kind of scholarship ad- justment because of financial problems and to meet NCAA regulations.

Robert Baugh, chair of Eastern's athletic committee, said the committee will meet right after Spring Break to discuss the possible solutions to the financial problems the university athletic departments have.

These options will be presented by Funderburk when the OVC presidents meet in June.

Baugh said Eastern has no choice

Tackling dummies Eagles headed for a mid-flight crash

IT°W many Ohio Valley Conference -*■ ■*• schools can boast about producing a

starting NFL quarterback — Phil Simms of the New York Giants — who has two Super Bowl rings, a Super Bowl MVP and a Pro Bowl MVP under his belt?

And how many of these same teams can also boast about moving to non-scholarship football?

Just one — Morehead State. Yes, the Morehead football

team, much to the dismay of the players and Coach Cole Proctor, will be nothing more than a bunch of tackling dummies offered up on the gridiron to keep their other sports teams in the Ohio Valley Confer- ence since the school's Board of Regents voted to do away with scholarship football.

Well, maybe not Presidents of the OVC schools will meet

June 2-3 at Middle Tennessee State University in Murfreesboro to decide whether to let Morehead field a non-scholarship team or to just kick them out of the OVC altogether.

Although there is no apparent reason why the other schools should consider letting Morehead hang around, there are several supporting why the Eagles should fly out of the conference.

Removing Morehead from the OVC would give the other member universities more

money each from the NCAA basketball tournament. Morehead would be one less university to divide die OVC's allotment with.

On the flip side, allowing Morehead to stay in the league without competing in football would only make it easier for other OVC schools to drop programs while still competing in the conference in other sports.

The presidents of OVC member schools, along with Commissioner Dan Beebee, must put their collective foot

down now or risk having more situations like this in the future.

There is just no way Morehead football can possibly survive the situation President Ro- nald Eaglin has put them in, and there is no way the OVC should set a precedent for partial conference membership, which is what Morehead is asking for.

Considering that in four years at Morehead with scholarships. Proctor's overall record was 15-29.

If that was his record with scholarship players, you have to wonder how long it will take for him to win IS more games with no scholarships.

Let's just hope Morehead's ill-fated move will not endanger other potential starting pro quarterbacks, tike the Eagles' alumnus Phil Simms.

Cash for craziness We'll pay you to get the wildest Spring Break souvenir

Forget about rushing to your 8 a.m. classes. Forget about driving around for hours

searching for a parking place. '. Forget about midterm exams, class projects,

conking out during labs and all the other sources of stress the average college student faces. ;-> After all, we have a week <rff.

i Instead, think about sun, sand, — or snow, if you're going skiing — staying up, sleeping in and not having a care in the world for a full week — 10 days including weekends. •: Yup, it's time for another Spring Break. : | And even if you're not lucky enough to get to jet off to some Spring Break hot spot for the week, enjoy the time off the best way you can. Go camping, take a hike in the Pinnacles, buy a new CD, lay around a lake somewhere, take idrive in the country, rent a bunch of movies and just take it easy — and better yet, get jome sleep. |: Think of all the money you'll be saving while your fellow students are off in Florida •T Texas or wherever it is they're going, Wowing wads of cash on everything from cheap souvenirs to expensive beer. »; For those fortunate enough to visit the $linshine State — or any other exotic Spring Bjrcak destination — The Eastern Progress

wants to offer you an incentive on how to get back some of the money you spent on your vacation.

Visit Disney World and get an authentic Nancy Kerrigan autograph from the Olympic silver medalist herself, and we will give you $20.

How's that for a deal? But seriously, if you can't

manage the Kerrigan signature, just find the most interesting souvenir from wherever you're going and bring it by the Progress office. We'll judge the best entries and give the winner a $20 gift certificate to Red Lobster. We're not kid- ding.

We only ask that you don't bring in anything vulgar or in absolute bad taste. (Some bad taste is expected. After all, it is Spring Break.) Since we're going to print the winner and a photo in the Progress, we have to require a modicum of good taste.

Some examples of good entries would be one of Nancy Kerrigan's teeth, an untouched key lime pie (we can be bribed), a speeding ticket from a state other than Kentucky, a baby alligator or just about anything else you can think of.

Let's just hope we don't get caught by another storm of the century this year and end up stranded at a Denny's Restaurant in Ten- nessee.

Bugs suck, so don't eat 'em Ahhh, spring. After a winter like we've had,

who wouldn't be overjoyed at the sight of fresh, green grass cropping up, the sound of birds chirping away, the feel of warm sunlight — yes, sunlight, folks — on skin.

Yes, I feel this spring is long overdue. I know we might have a few more winterlike days ahead of us, but the warm temperatures and blue skies we were blessed with over the weekend just put me in a good state of mind. Whether the weather knows it or not, spring is here.

However, there is one thing in particular I don't like about spring: bugs. That might seem like an odd thing to dislike, considering all the benefits warm weather gives us, like barbecues, outdoor sports, fishing on a calm lake, camping, the return of shorts to campus wardrobes.

You know, some of die good things in life.

But bugs just bug me. That's one of the sure-fire signs

of spring's arrival, too. When you see the roaches and the waterbugs and the mosquitos and the beetles and the flies and all the rest of God's littlest invertebrates crawl- ing out of their winter slumber, you can rest assured mat spring has sprung.

I know they serve a purpose in the ecosystem and all that, but I'd be much happier if they would stay out of my space.

I'm not one of those wusses with a bug phobia, either. I'm not afraid of them. They just annoy me, like heavy traffic on a hot day or a rainstorm during a picnic.

Joe Castle The song

remains the same

And I'm not the only person with a bug complex, either. Sure, we might differ in the way we're bugged, but I'm convinced we're all bugged, nonetheless.

Some people are just afraid of bugs, like my mom. I think it's in the Mom Handbook somewhere that moms have to be afraid of bugs, and if they're not, they have to have a written excuse explaining why they're not

If mom sees a bug, she checks to see if there is someone else around who can stomp it. If not, she will stomp it herself— although not without making a note to tell me about it later. I must say that hearing my mother recount the details of her adventures in bug- stomping are always a highlight of my day.

My dad's just the opposite. Every spring he goes out to a little building on our property — I'm not exactly sure what's in this building, because I've always been afraid to look in there — and comes out looking like something out of Terminator 3, wearing one of those anti-chemical warfare MOPP suits.

Then, armed with a sprayer and a tank full of some highly-corro- sive — and probably illegal — insecticide left over from the 1960s, my father lays waste to bugs by the millions.

He sprays everywhere. Around

CORRECTION

the house, under the floor, by the bam, everywhere.

And after he commits this insect genocide. Dad says he won't be able to sleep at night.

Yeah, right My dad's a sadist in disguise. It makes me wonder what I'll be doing for kicks after I retire.

I have one friend who can't stand bugs because, although she thinks they're creepy little e*eSF~" tures, she can't bring herself to squash the liule, er, buggers.

She's one of those "I don't have the right to snuff out some cockroach's life just because I'm bigger" types. She will go to great lengths — like gently rounding up the offending critter on a magazine and carrying it outside — to keep from snuffing out an insect I don't understand it but I can relate to her bugginess over bugs.

Then there's this other friend who has the weirdest bug problem of all.

He eats them. OK, so I've never really seen

him consume an insect. But we were outside during one of his frequent drunken binges when he just stopped and said, "I just want to sit here and eat bugs all night"

He's brought it up several times since then, loo, when he was sober, so I'm beginning to think he's serious.

And he's the kind of sick, twisted guy who would go through with it loo.

I can just see him now, standing in the kitchen concocting recipes for Cockroach Quiche and Mos- quito a la Mode. Yum.

I can't wait for him to invite me over for dinner.

An article about Dr. David Winthers that ran on page B4 in the Feb. 27 issue was incorrect Opium is derived from a specific type of poppy plant

Winthers referred to "...the physiology of the opium trade," and the proper name for the bandits was the "Deceits."

Cyberspace marks a new frontier Imagine, if you will, a modern-

day pioneer. A pioneer who rises in the

morning and settles down with a steaming cup of Java to read the latest news and weather reports, or to monitor the latest stock quotes.

A pioneer who has instant access to movie and book reviews, and databases to research everything from wine to software prices. A world where you can jump into instant conversations of politics to ' the most taboo of lifestyles and interests.

This pioneer of this brave new world can accomplish such feats without leaving the comforts of his or her dwelling.

With a few strokes at any computer keyboard equipped with a modem, this new world can be tapped into. It is the world of cyberspace; the info-highway. It is here, and we are the pioneers.

Cyberspace is the world of electronic signals sent over the phone line from one computer to

■another across the country, and even the world. It is a world where virtually any piece of information can be found.

But perhaps the coolest thing about this new world of e-mail and information is that it can be accessed by anyone with the interest to do so. and you don't need an engineering degree to accomplish it.

All it takes is a simple home computer, a slice of software and a telephone.

It's the world of being "on-line,"

My turn

and like it or not, it's here to stay. It's the newest trend in 20th

century communications and still in its infancy, the possibilities are already limitless.

With a variety of on-line services already available, such as America Online, CompuServe and Prodigy, this super highway can be traveled. By calling a toll-free number, you can attain the software, instructions and a free month's worth of service simply by signing on your first time.

Confused? Overwhelmed? Don't be. Remember how foreign the term "compact disc" used to be? Now CDs are not only familiar to all, but almost as common as the television set in our homes.

Cyberspace is not far behind. "Why use this technology and

what good is it?" you may ask yourself.

Well, imagine making hotel accommodations, plane reservations, reading your favorite magazine or viewing the latest Smithsonian photos all without leaving your home.

You could do virtually any research from your desktop without walking through tows of dusty books and scanning the soon-to-be-

defunct card catalogues at your local library. You can talk to your favorite celebrity (i.e. Rush Limbaugh [God help you!]) via e- mail or drop a note to the White House public opinion line to complain about this liberal administration any time you like.

Soon to be online will be almost any book published; and by the time our kids get to school, an entire campus community will be in a cyberspace setting.

I've heard arguments against such technology, with folks complaining it's the demise of personal communication and just a bunch of computer-head techno junk. That may be the case. But give me a cabin in the mountains, a few hundred acres, and a personal computer, and I just might never be seen again.

EKU eh—mm deserve more appreciation I just wondered why the cheerleaders don't get schol-

, arships? They work hard, they practice quite a bit, yet everything that they do they have to pay for. Why? I'd like to see this change, so the appreciation is showed by more N than "and let's give thanks to our cheerleaders." Hey, money talks; correct me if I'm wrong.

Prisoners raised $5,500 for cancer society Our appreciation and thanks is expressed to many EKU

students who assisted with the recent "10 Most Wanted" program to raise funds for the American Cancer Society. Stephanie Drury was our main contact with this program. She enlisted the help of many students from various Greek organizations to help- conduct the "10 Most Wanted" program at the Richmond Mall. In addition, the following students represented their sorority as "prisoners" and raised bail from their friends before being released: Lee Ann Beckham, Kelly Foster, Amy Gilday, Terri Johnson. Jennie Wade and Missy Beck. The "10 Most Wanted" participants from the public were: Farris Parks, Mary Jane Ginter, Michael F. Bryant, Dr. Jeanette Crockett, Ed Worley, Linda Spurlock, John Kiser, Kent Clark, Rev. Rusty Rechenback and Tom ToMer.

This effort was a fine example of EKU students and the general public of Richmond and Madison County working together to help win the fight against cancer. A total of more than $5,500 was raised in pledges.

Thanks very much to everyone who had a part in this successful event.

Bob Herbst President, Madison County-Richmond Unit American Cancer Society

GUESS shouldn't be Included In campus policy Having read the article on GUESS pleading for special

attention from EKU, I felt very moved lo comment on this issue. I am not going to take lime to argue how sick and disgusting I believe homosexuality is, but I am going to say that there is no place for homosexuals to be included in Eastern's affirmative action policy. Homosexuality is a lifestyle, whether by choice or hereditary, that is not accepted by the majority of the public for reasons which 1 think are self-explanatory. GUESS members are a small group asking for special privileges from Eastern because their lifestyles are different from the norm. There will be discrimination against gays whether or not Eastern says it is alright or not To comment on Tim Combs' statement that "the senate needs lobe the first step forward to change the attitude of the general public," I say that the senators

are elected as representation of the student body. Their ideas should represent the views of the majority. It would be wrong and absurd for some small group to expect the student senate to "change the attitude of the general public." So, I say to all GUESS members, accept the lifestyle that you chose and quit making it a part of everybody else's business. I don't care for it and I urge anybody else who doesn't to speak out.

Good Sex' professors dedicated to education I would like to lake the opportunity to thank the follow

ingprofessors: Dr. RichShuntich, Dr. DonCalitri,Camille Skubik and Mark Cambron. These people were the origi- nators and presenters of the Good Sex Series: So what is good sex anyway?

The programs were presented in the residence halls and provided opportunities for students to increase their awareness about sexuality, communication and under- standing of the opposite sex.

These programs were presented in the evening, and the participating faculty gave their free time because of their strong beliefs in the information that was being shared.

Thank you so much. I hope we can continue this series and others like k.

Melanie Tvner-Wilson Director of Residential Education

GUESS' request la ridiculous, ludicrous I have brown hair. I am a non-traditional student with

chronic bad breath. Students ignore me, they will not accept me as I am. I am shunned and left out of activities I demand campus legislation that will guarantee or force my acceptance into any university group or organization on campus. Furthermore, I demand the students at Eastern to have to be nice to me in general.

Sound ridiculous? No more ludicrous than the head- line on the news story in the March 3, Eastern Progress, "GUESS asks senate for policy change." If an individual decides lo be different, be it skinhead. Christian or queer, they should have enough guts to stand up for what they believe instead of demanding legislative sanctioning or preferred treatment.

I find it ironic that a perverse minority that is destroy- ing life and inflicting a tremendous burden on our health care system calls upon this institution or our nation to sanction, protect or promote this devastating, irrespon- sible social ill.

Computer-aided classes coming to EKU ■ VAX system helps bring "paperless class' to Eastern's campus

By Jason VanOver Staff writer

The future of education is coming closer to Eastern and other college campuses all over the nation through the advent of computer-aided classes.

The use of e-mail in classes is a product of the new generation of computer literate individuals.

Dr. Andy Hamack, professor of English, is one of the few professors who are using e-mail in classes already. Even though it is limited in its use, Hamack believes that it will become increasingly popular.

Hamack is using e-mail for 30 students in two sections of English 301, advanced composition.

"I aead messages to the students." Hamack said. "The students send messages to each other and to me."

Hamack sends memos to his students about where they can find information on different top- ics.

"I send weekly memos, articles, bibliogra- phies and make comments about their writings," Hamack said.

Hamack would like to see the "paperless class" expand if Eastern gets the technology. It would become possible to transmit large texts if Eastern expands its system.

Hamack's classes are using computers for a couple of weeks before Spring Break and do not have to even go to class.

Dr. Frank William, professor of philosophy and religion, said he tried using e-mail during his classes, and it didn't turn out to be too successful.

"It didn't work last semester." Williams said. "I didn't continue the effort"

Williams didn't have bitter feelings about using e-mail in class, though, and is looking for-

ward to using it in the future. Schools all over the nation are turning to com-

puter-aided classes. Carolyn Schriber, a professor at Rhodes Col-

lege, is already leaching classes over e-mail and will have IS students taking History of Medieval France next semester through e-mail.

She is currently writing an essay for the book on Computing in the 21st Century University on how to use e-mail for the classroom. The book will be published sometime this year.

Some students on campus believed that using e-mail would be a good idea and that it would be an advantage for attendance because less people would miss a computer class.

Other students, including Tina Strange, a sophomore corrections and juvenile services major, thought that it would be too confusing to do all of their schoorwork over e-mail.

"I had a television course in physics, and I really started to miss the teacher," Strange said. "You have less chance to ask questions and get help if you need it."

GUESS: Student senate votes down anti-discrimination proposal \>ornjnuaa from imi<

be a senator," he said. Sea Melody Mason said she went

out and talked to people to get their opinions on this issue.

She said there were people who had a definite opinion, both for and against, some who didn'tcare and those who didn't know it was even an issue.

But Mason said the majority of people she talked to told her homosexuals should not be given special treatment because the existing rules already applied to them.

"Just because you are homosexual you shouldn't have special rights," she said.

Sen. Robert Prytula said by the time the senate was finished making sure everyone was included in the anti-

aiscrimination policy, the senate would rave page after page of lists of people who would feel they needed protection from discrimination.

"If you vote the way you feel, then go ahead and vote the way your grand- mother would," he said.

While said this issue is one of the most important issues the senate has ever faced, and it needed lo be treated seriously.

"As a senator, you are a trustee of what is right and wrong," he said. "If you think discrimination is right, then you have to live with that"

Sen. Kyle Flora, a resident assistant, said he still didn't see how having this resolution would help homosexuals on campus.

He said every example of discrimination and harassment the members of GUESS gave last week was already

covered by law. 'Their rights are covered," he said.

"It's not our fault nothing was done." Flora later made an amendment to

the resolution to add height and weight to the criteria of not being discriminated against

From that statement, both Chancy and White stormed out of the room in anger, but came back for the final vote.

Flora withdrew his amendment before the vote. He said he was just trying to make a point on how easily this issue can get out of control.

After the meeting. Chancy said that was how politics work; people don't always get what they warn.

However, he was still very upset with the way the senate handled the whole debate over the resolution.

"I am saddened by the tact of the unwillingness to hear our side," he

said.'The whole debate was leaned to the side of defeating this issue."

Katrina Harris, secretary of GUESS, Gays United in Education, Service and Support, said she was very upset by the outcome.

"This school is so far behind," she said. "Berea is a smaller school with a smaller population, and they have sexual orientation in their policy."

She said GUESS will go before the faculty senate to present their case and go before the student senate every year until the resolution is passed.

Harris said she was upset at the way some senators treated the whole issue as a joke.

"If we have the policy, we'll have some legal protection." she said. "Mo one runs the chance of being killed for being left-handed, but I could because I am homosexual."

Library bookfest showcases campus, Kentucky authors By Emily Leath Staff wrtar

Campus and community book- wocms will have the chance tt meet and exchange ideas with over SO authors next month at the EKU Librar- ies' BookFest.

The free event, to be held April 19 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Perkins Building, is designed to honor East- ern faculty and staff as well as regional authors who have published recently.

"It's nice to be recognized for your efforts," said English professor Hal Blythe, co-author of "Private Eyes" said. "Producing a book liter- ally takes years from die time you have the idea until the time it is published. It lets the people around the academic community know what you have accomplished.''

Charlie Sweet, the book's other author who is also an English professor, said, "It's a good atmosphere. Seeing the works other people have published can encourage you. I think the Book Fcst is a good thing."

Other Eastern faculty presenting books include Keith Algier, Glenn Carey, Ken Henson, Andy Hamack, Allen Singleton, Jerry Faughn, Doug Whidock. Robert Witt and Larry Bobbert

Notable regional writers planning to attend are Thomas D. Clark, Kent Masterson Brown, David Dick, Lyn wood Montcll, J im Wayne Miller. George Ella Lyon, Tom Parrish, Ed McClanahan, Charles Roland, Lynn Hightower and Loyal Jones.

The Jesse Stuart Foundation and the University Press of Kentucky will also present exhibits.

The books, which range in subject

matter from Kentucky history and lit- erature to science fiction, will be available for sale and autographing. A discount will be given on any purchase made through the University Book- store by Eastern faculty and staff.

One highlightof the bookfest will be a silent auction of autographed catalog cards of prominent authors.

The cards are from the Crabbe Library's subject catalog, which was recendy replaced by a computer system. Bob Hope, Gerald Ford, Cart Sagan and Robert Ludhim are among the authors who will goon ihc auction block.

Proceeds from the auction will go to the libraries' capital improvements campaign.

This year's Book Fcst coincides with National Library Week. The event marks Eastern's eighth year holding the event. A similar statewide program is held annually in Frankfort

MOREHEAD: OVC to vote on conference status Coot lewd from fioni papa

-except to make some kind of i ship adjustments as well, but he is sure it will not be as drastic as Morehead's decision to cut all football scholarships.

Morehead's decision was based on the same issues facing many universities; the cost of athletic programs versus the revenue earned by the programs and the issue of gender equity.

According to Baugh, Eastern's athletic programs spent roughly

$600,000 more than they earned during the past year, but he doesn't think cutting football scholarships will solve the deficit

"That $600,000 would come from a reduction in faculty expenses," Baugh said.

The gender equity issue may also play a role in what the athletic committee decides to do.

Right now, 68 percent of the athletic budget goes to men' s sports while 32 percent goes to the female pro-

grams. This does not meet civil rights mandates, according to Baugh, since 65 percent of Eastern athletics are played by men and 35 percent by women.

Funderburk said Eastern is hoping to have a 60-40 male to female athlete ratio within the next few years, but it would take cooperation from all of the conference schools.

"It will be hard to do alone." Funderburk said. "We have got to move as a conference."

TEACHER: Eastern administrators oppose some education task force recommendations Conttnuad trow from papa

There were no university repre- sentadvesonttegovernor'snakforce last semester.

Freed, who is a member of the state Coalition of Senate and Faculty Leadership (COSFL), said that type of exclusion is still evident

The CHE is working more closely with the governor's office and the legislature than with the universities on much of this," said Freed, who delivered a letter from COSFL during the CHE meeting Monday outlining the group's concerns.

"All of this was done very quickly, and not all of it was thought out," Freed said. "The consequences weren't ascertained, particularly regarding recommendations 11-13."

Enzie said the problems center on recommendations 11 and 12 from the task force report and on what Ford's bill would authorize the Edu- cation Professional Standards Board (EPSB) — which the report estab- lishes— to do.

"The senate bill empowers the EPSB with setting up policies and procedures outlined in the report," Enzie said. "The part of the report that bothers people most is recommendations 11-12."

According to recommendation 11, "a university choosing to train teachers, administrators and/or certi- fied non-teaching personnel shall adopt KERA principles of good leaching and conduct performance evalu- ations of all university faculty."

The taskforceclauned such mea-

i are necessary because education majors take many of their classes outside the college of education

Enzie said thatafype of action proposed by the task force is what is causing the problem.

"That'sapretty large recommendation.io suggest that what works on the elementary level would work on the university level," Enzie said.

Recommendation 12 calls for, among other things, "incorporating quality instruction arid service to the schools as meaningful components of faculty promotion and tenure policies, to be considered on par with researcn.

That could lead to strong outside influence over decisions regarding tenure and promotion, and that concerns some officials at Eastern.

"Promotion and tenure are in the hands of the faculty, the presidents and the boards of each university." Enzie said, "and we believe those should stay in university hands."

Freed said that would seta precedent for outside influence on university corMTol over policies like tenure.

'That's the first time anywhere I know of, certainly for the first time here, that's happened," Freed said.

Another aspect that concerns Enzie is the creation of several Ken- tucky Education Certification Cen- ters which would give teachers trained in the Bluegrass State the final stamp of approval after they leave the university system.

There could be eight to 10 of these things across the stale," Enzie said. "We're very concerned that that

would lead to duplication of effort and another level of bureaucracy (in teacher education)."

Ford said the universities also had a chance to oppose the report this semester when they could have appeared before the senate education committee, which reviewed SB 238.

This bill was before the senate education committee, and the KEA (Kentucky Education Association) testified on it" Ford said, "but no one from the universities testified."

Despite the opposition to the task force report, Enzie said he wants to stress that he doesn't think Eastern doesn't support KERA.

"We're not opposed to KERA. We support it and we are working hard for it" Enzie said. "We have changed every course in the College of Education., JO we're not trying to drag our feet on KERA. We want to produce good teachers."

Freed said he doesn't think the universities are supporting a lost cause since the CHE was very receptive to his comments Monday.

The concerns raised in the letter surprised the council members," Freed said'They became concerned enough to add language expressing thekccncernswimrecomniendations nine through 13."

Still. Ford said he thinks it could be loo little, loo late.

"It's kind of late for them to be objecting to the council, because the legislation is out of the council's hands." Ford said.'They should have voiced these concerns to the council or to the task force earlier."

Janes Cox. O'DomeU'i nigkl i visor called public safety and within one mmule. two public safety officers were in the room with Keough. The paramedics arrived a few minutes later.

Still breathing, Keough was taken to the hospital where he died some 17 minutes later.

In a statement to the police after the incident. Woods said the revolver belonged K him and that Keough did not know Woods had the weapon in his room. Guerrera told the police Keough knew of Woods' revolver in his room.

Woods said he had the revolver on campus because he it a part-time sheriff's deputy in Bell County. But having a firearm on campus is a clear violation of university policy, said Kenna Middleton, acting director of judicial affairs.

"When you have a policy violation, but also some very distraught people..we want to handle it the best way we can," Middleton said.

She would not say, however, if the judicial affairs office is going to take action against Woods.

Ron Harrell said, as with all such incidents, alcohol use is being inves- tigated. Madison County Coroner Embry Curry said he could have an autopsy and toxicology report within IS days.

The events Friday have left Keough's friends and family wondering. "Whyr

Hedidn'tlcaveanoteaslowhyhe chose to lake his own life.

In an interview Tuesday, Mary Keough. John'smother, said the death of her son came as a shock to their family.

"But I know that he's at peace, and we are doing as well as we can." Mary Keough said.

Her husband, John Sr., their son- in-law and nephew drove a full day to Richmond Saturday from St Peters- burg to pick up John's car and belong- ings.

Keough's mother said the entire football staff, including John's teammates and coaches, have been very supportive for their family.

Coroner Embry Curry said Keough died from a MM- Irrfllcted gunshot wound.

His sudden death also shocked his coaches and teammates.

"They are upset and angry," said Roy Kidd, Eastern's football coach and athletic director. They are hurt just like all of us."

Keough graduated from Boca Ciega High School in 1991 in the top 20 of his class and was a 4-year high school honor student. He was a deco- rated Boy Scout, a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, was a member of the track team and a 2-year team captain for his high school football team. In 1991, Eastern offered him a full football scholarship, and Keough was Rich- mond-bound.

He played as an offensive lineman for the Colonels, but was later moved to a tight end position after injuries during the 1992 season. This past season, he served primarily on the special teams.

Kidd said he talked with Keough last Wednesday and told him that he expected him in a "starting position" next fall.

"John was a good student," Kidd said. "He had a smile on his face moat of the time. It's just so hard to believe that this would happen."

Those who knew Keough would agree.

"I thought he was one of the nicest people I have ever met," Cox said. Cox said he and Keough were very close and that Keough would often sit

in the lobby with Cox for hours talking about Keough's love of salt-water fishing. In fact. Cox said Keough had told him a few dayt before hit death, how eager he was to goto Florida for Spring Break so he could go fishing.

"I will really miss him," Cox said. Keough's viewing was Tuesday

night at Osgood-Cloud Funeral Home in Pincllai Park, Fla. John's mother said she knew more than 20 players wens already en route late Monday night to attend it Funeral services were held Wednesday morning, and John was buried at Woodlawn Memory Gardens later that day.

A memorial fund has been established in John's name at the NationsBank-Tyrone Branch in Florida.

Keough's mother said her family plans on coming back to Richmond for the football team's spring scrimmage.

"It has been very hard for the players, and we want to be there for them," she said.

Just as they have been there for her and her family, the added.

teammate Sheldon Walker and Coach Teddy Taylor and a song of faith, the Baptist Student Union's minister Rick Trexler spoke.

"We must find the strength in others and find the strength in God," Trexler said. "This morning a physical body was com- mitted to the earth, but hit spirit is left to God."

The ceremony was video- taped for his parents, John and Mary Keough, who were not able to come to Richmond from St. Petersburg, Fla.. following their son's burial.

Instructor left previous position under scrutiny By Suun L. Smith Staff wrftar

An mSructor for the department of criminal justice training, retired Paris police Chief George Boiing, was under some scrutiny at his former position.

He had originally planned 10 retire in June from the Paris police force, but left early ID take a job with the criminal jutricc dtpailiiiept, a aaac police iPaaV ing center housed at Eastern.

Before he left Paris, questions were raised concerning Boiing-s spendings and civil suits alleging police brutality and illegal arrests.

Boiing defended his spending by saying he was doing research for a 911

system, and every expense he recommended to the city was accepted.

Boiing was also being scrutinized for spending $550 at Lexington's Marriott Resort at Griffin Gate during the 1992 Kentucky Association of Po- lice Chiefs Conference.

Paris City Manager Dickie Brunner said the spending was necessary.

"It was held in Lexington, due to the larger facilities, and it was necessary lo maintain a hospitality suite because he was president (of the assccia- tion)," said Brunner.

Boiing said the spending was justi- fied and that the suits were not solely filed against him.

1 was not named directly, but

named vicariously as supervisor. There were only four suits in 17 years, and all of them in the past two years when it kinda got popular to sue ponce officers," said Boiing.

Three of the civil suits filed against him were settled before coming to trial, and another is still pending.

Bohngdtdniface criminal charges. Chuck Sayre, commissioner of the

department of criminal justice, said all applicants for the department must go through a criminal record check and an informal background check.

"We usually know the people we hire, but if we don't, we will send someone to where they are currently working to do a check," Sayre said.

"We've known George for yean." "By knowing George, an informal

background (check) would suffice," said Dong Caor, the training section supervisor for the criminal justice department. "One of the questions we ask is, 'Are you involved in any civil case that we need to know about?' And he answered not"

Boiing was chief for 17 years and served with the force for eight years prior to becoming chief. He was hired at the university in January when the aisiiuttor'spositinn became available.

"He was up against tough competition. I was impressed with his articula- tion skills, demeanor and the way he handled himself," said Czor.

tobacco in Kentucky, right now it would be foolish to pass legislation against smoking in the Capitol," Lackey said. The stress on the eco- nomic system would be absolutely devastating on Kentucky business- men."

Likewise, both men agreed that the Kentucky Education Reform Act can work, but needs some refinement. Lackey is in favor of adding another member, a parent, to each community's site-based council. Meicalf said he would like to give parents and teachers more input into the reformation of the educational system.

Both men also think higher education needs more funding.

"Higher education is the prior- ity," Meicalf said. "We need to look for cutselsewhere." Lackey feels there is too much emphasis on athletics in college and not enough attention paid to recruiting gifted students.

Lackey himself has degrees from Washington and Lee University, the University of Kentucky and Yale University, generally has more liberal views than Meicalf, and stresses protection for the environment and First Amendment rights.

He was voted outstanding freshman senator when he previously served one term as senator from 1973 to 1977.

He opted not to run again after that term, but ran unsuccessfully for the Senate again in 1981 and then lost a close race for Attorney General in 1992. He decided that now would be a perfect time lo run again.

"I am at the best of my ability right now at my age. I think I have a lot to offer the state," Lackey said.

There are two things you need to know about me," Lackey said. "I'm a very direct person and when I get on lo an issue, I fight for it"

Meicalf, who has degrees in chem- istry and biology from Eastern, stresses "workfare not welfare" and said he opposes any new lax increases.

There are too many lawyers in the legislature," Metcalf said, "I rep-

resent the new generation of legislators."

Metcalf spent five years in the U.S. Air Force, where he achieved the ran*- of captain. Since he returned to civilian life, he has become involved in several community service groups, including HabitatforHumanity.Mealson Wheels and the Rotary and Ki wards clubs.

He said the first thing voters should look for when choosing a candidate is what they have done for the community.

Although the deadline for absen- tee ballots is over, those who stay in town over Spring Break may vote in the special election to be held March IS. The campus precinct voting will be in the Baptist Student Union.

After a HW* drought In 1931, Richmond purchased a privately owned utilities company to give the city its own water supply. Every day, thousands of residents turn on their taps and receive fresh, clean, cool water to drink, bathe in or wash clothes with. But before this water reaches the communtiy. it goes through a complex process of screening, clarification and disinfecting to make the water look, taste and smell better, and to make it healthier. The Kentucky River Water Treatment Plant, operated by Richmond Utilities, purifies about 4 to 5 million gallons of water each day for residents to use. Here's how it works...

Muddy water quenches thirst, after purified By Emily Leath Staff writer

If everyone who has enjoyed a gulp of water from a campus drinking fountain could see how that water once looked, the Richmond Utilities Water Treatment Plant would get the respect it deserves.

The plant, located 13 miles east of Richmond, draws51/2 million gallons of water up from a pool created by Lock 11 on the Kentucky River per day.

That water is treated, flocculated (particles are allowed to settle out), purified and pumped into town and campus to provide about a half a billion glasses of water daily.

Eastern is one of the plant's major customers. Two of the system's five elevated storage tanks are located on campus. The lower at the dairy barn holds 1 million gallons, while the lank behind Alumni Coliseum holds 400.000 gallons.

"We can tell when you all are in school," Kenny Sewell, a licensed water plant operator, said.

His shift partner, Marion Turley, said, "We usually celebrate when Eastern Kentucky Univer- sity goes on break. We pump about 1 million gallons lest per day when school is out."

EPA safety met by teats Aside from simply pulling the water from the

river, the operators have to monitor tank levels and add chemicals to purify the water. The turbidity (muddiness), pH level, alkalinity and hardness are adjusted. Chemicals, such as chlorine, fluoride, alum.lime and potassium permanganate, are added.

Tests are run every hour to assure the water meets safety standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency and the stale Division of Wa- ter, located in Frankfort

"Think Before You Drink," a report by lawyer Erik CM sen, which cited EPA records, accused 286 community systems in Kentucky of distributing unsafe water. However, the Richmond Utilities plant has not reported any problems.

"If we've had any complaints, we never have heard of them out here," Sewell said

The water leaves the plant purified and clear. Before it reaches homes, it is sent to a 5 million gallon side storage lank located in Moberly. about half way between the plant and Richmond.

From there, elevated storage tanks pull and distribute the water to consumers. Aside from Eastern's two tanks, Richmond has 500,000 gallon towers on First Street, North Street and Indus- trial Drive. "Big Blue," located behind Panic A. Clay Hospital, holds 1 million gallons.

Computers keep plant efficient To monitor the complicated process, the op-

erators are required to record chemical, turbidity and pH levels hourly and keep a monthly operation report, which is sent to Frankfort for verification.

These progress reports compare the com position of the river water to the processed product that will come out of our faucets.

A computer system keeps track of every plant operation and records the levels used and stored at the six Richmond lowers. Measurements are also read from meters inside the plant.

A good example of the efficiency of the plant is the change in turbidity level. The muddy-looking suspended sediments in the river water need to be removed for the water to be clear and safe to drink. The slate Division of Water requires a level less than .50 units per gallon. On Feb. 24, water straight from the river had a Turbidimeier reading of 250. The final product from the plant's tap was .14.

Obviously, the simple act of getting a glass of water has a lot more behind it than most people realize. An 8-ounce drink requires a lot more water and much energy. Coy le commented on the importance of conserving the natural resource.

"Even though we've got plenty, it always pays to conserve," he said "The easiest way to save water is to be careful what you put into it, such as oil or waste. Eventually, we've got to take it out, and that is where it can get expensive."

The Kentucky River Authority is in charge of maintaining the river and locks. Richmond Utili- ties, and anyone else who pulls from the source, is required to pay about 5 cents per gallon of water pulled from the river to fund the organization.

New Soundgarden CD 'Super'

quart* Soundgarden

•. hall from Saattla

Every now and then, a band will record a disc that marks a coming of age.

That's what 'Superunknown" if for Soundgarden.

After 1991's breakthrough "Badmotorfingcr," many people probably expected the next disc from the Seattle foursome

to be a tour de grunge. But don't let tie band's North-

western roots fool you. Grunge it ain't. Soundgarden retreated into the studio

and emerged with a 70-minuie, 15-song master- piece, light years ahead of most of the typical musical fare emerging from Washington stale

these days. Althoaihtrcreareshadesof^BaATOiorfmger's"

heaviness on tracks like "Let Me Drown, "most of the songson "Superunknown*' are mid-tempo scorchers whosestrenguislieintheswirlmgicxiurescreaiedby guitarist Kim Thayil.

Thayil once again proves that he is one of the few rock guitarists playing today who under- stands the importance of rhythm guitar. Thayil uses overdubbed guitars, using multiple parts to create moody atmosphere that pulls the listener in.

But don't let the added musicality on "Superunknown" make you think the band has joined the shiny, happy people crowd.

Take, for example, this line from "The Day I Tried to Live:"

"Words you say never seem to live up to the ones inside your head; the lives we make never seem to ever get us anywhere but dead."

Or this one from "Mailman:" "I know I'm headed for the bottom, but I'm

riding you all the way." Heavy stuff indeed, and even heavier consid-

ering the urgency with which lead singer Chris Cornell delivers.

Cornell's vocals are as strong as ever, ranging from a mellow croon on "Fell on Black Days" to his characteristic wail on the first single, "Srjoonman."

Bassist Ben Shepherd and drummer Matt Cameron contribute to not only a tight rhythm section, but the song writing on "Superunknown."

While the sum total of "Superunknown's" worth might not leap out at the listener on the first spin, that is due in large part to the complexity of the compositions. Soundgarden has written songs for this disc, rather than simply putting bass and drum parts under a few guitar riffs.

If the grunge crowd can get over this, Soundgarden is going to be one of the biggest bands of 1994. If not. the band will have to settle knowing they recorded one of the best discs of the year.

Student to make directorial debut By Stacy Battles Staff writer

Rene Heinrich sat quietly on the back row of the Pearl Buchanan The- atre watching the actors play their parts.

When the rehearsal was over, she met with the actors on stage to aaaaaaaaai critique their perfor- mances and offer ad- vice.

Her actions and suggestions seemed to indicate approval, but that there was still room for improvement.

There's always a period where k seems it won't get any better, and then you get through that week and the actors become more settled and things come together." Heinrich

and fun, and it has some great old country music most students' parents probably listened to." Heinrich said.

Heinrich got her start in acting by taking classes while attending Model Lab High School in Richmond.

" There's always a period where It seems It won't get any better, and then you get through that week and the actors become more settled and things come together. "

Hemrich, a theatre arts major, is directing a one-act play titled "Nice People Dancing to Good Country Mu- sk."

The play, written by Lee Blessing, is about a young woman who has been kicked out of a convent because of her battle with Toureue's Syndrome and the events taking place the day after her

"Ihopealotofpeoplecomeandsee thisptaybecauseit'sreally light-hearted

During that time, she also became mvolvedwimtheRichrnondChiklren's Theatre lo gain more experience.

When Heinrich enrolled at Eastern, she decided to make theater arts her major.

Heinrich interned at a professional theater in Wisconsin over the summer where she took on many roles.

"I did everything from assistant stage managing to parking cars," Heinrich said.

"I also sewed costumes and worked in the box office. I was an all-around gopher." she added.

Theater department chair Jim Moreton has been a great influence on Heinrich.

"I admire him because he's patient for the most part."

anna Heinrich said. "I suppose he leads me to do things on my own without telling me what to do.

"He doesn't stop my mis- takes; he lets me learn from them." Heinrich said.

Moreton has similar praise for his directing student

"I'm always pleased when a student dees more than required." Moreton said.

Why does Heinrich go to all the trouble and extra work?

"I love doing it," Heinrich said, "If I want to do something like this related to my life, I better enjoy it"

Heinrich plans on pursuing a career in entertainment law working with con- tracts between actors and unions.

According to Heinrich, another op- tion would be coming back to graduate school and teaching theater.

"Nice People Dancing to Good Country Music" stars Pyka. Charles Mullins, Damon Boggess, Dusty Co- lumbia and Carrie Foster and will be performed at the Pearl Buchanan The- atre today at 8 p.m.

'Duckman's' absurdity worth a quack

Photo submitted

"Duckman" Is voiced by Jason Alexander of "Seinfeld."

By Chad Williamson Arts editor

Combine an id with feathers with a pig who is an existentialist Joe Friday and you have a good grasp of the idea behind \ / USA Network's \y new cartoon "Duckman." shown Saturday at 10:30 pm

Duckman, voiced by Jason Alexander of "Seinfeld," is a hot-tem- pered duck who strains to be both a private detective and a father to his motherless family and seems to be a failure at both.

Vlr\ irijotl \\f\ ilHS

He must deal with a sour-tem- pered sister-in-law who is his dead wife's identical twin, two sons who share the same body, a comatose mother-in-law who spends her day passing gas and a son who doesn't have a brain cell lo spare.

His partner is Cornfed, a pig who spouts Zen-like statements like the evening news, and his secretaries are Fluffy and Uranus, politically correct teddy bears who set traps in Duckman's cigarette packs when he tries to kick the habit

In short, this show is seriously bcnL What it isn't is consistent. In the

pilot episode, Duckman is disparate because he feels like a failure in life, at least until someone tries to blow him

up- Like every cartoon series since

"The Simpsons," "Duckman" revels in social satire, mocking everything from classic cartoons to "A Clock- work Orange."

Particularly inspired are its shots at "Silence of the Lambs," where the cannibal killer Duckman once appre- hended has become a media celebrity.

The second episode, "TV or Not to Be," concerns itself with lelevangelism, the an world and life after death. Duckman, after dying and going to Heaven, gets the meaning of life on an Etch-A-Skelch.

"Duckman's" targets vary wildly from episode to episode, and subse- quendy so does the humor. "Duckman"

seems to pick its victims and fire at random, just hoping to hit something.

When it hits, however, it hits hard. The shots taken at lelevangelism are hilarious ami the mere sight of Cornfed is enough to make you crack up.

But the sheer lack of likable charac- ters is depressing. Except for Cornfed, no one on "Duckman" has much appeal.

The show maintains a sense of the absurd, something the recent rash of prime time cartoons (i .e. 'Capitol Crit- ters," "Family Dog") never had. It helped that the second episode was actually funnier than the first.

So who knows? Maybe by the end of the season "Duckman" will be as funny as it wants lo be. It deserves a chance to get there.

MUSIC NOTES

■ Nino Inch Nails "The Downward Spiral"

Following last year's "Broken" and "Fixed" EPs and 1989's "Pretty Hate Machine." Nine Inch Nails' latest, "The Downward Spiral" shows where NTN originator Trent Reznor plans to go with his brand of tortured industrial music — and it ain't Disneyland.

Just a glance at the disc's tides — songs like "Mr. Self Destruct," "Her- esy." "Ruiner," "I Do Not Want This," the tide track and "Hurt" — lets the uninitiated know this isn't a journey for the faint of heart

One fault with "Spiral" is Reznor's apparent use of profanity for no good reason. When the occasional four-letter word cropped up on any of the previous NIN discs, it added to the songs' intensity. Here, much of the profanity comes across as being used simply for shock value.

Of course, that won't stop it from going platinum.

The surprise appearance of re- nowned guitarist Adrian Belew on two tracks hints at NIN's musical na- ture lurking behind the wall of industrial noise, but it rarely breaks free. This is an angry disc, and Reznor wants lo make sure everyone knows it

—Joe Castle

■ Animal Bag "Offering"

In the recent onslaught of acoustic albums and EPs, it's easy for an artist to get lost in the shuffle. Occasionally, one comes along that just makes such an impact that it refuses to be over- looked. Unfortunately, the new Ani- mal Bag release, "Offering," falls way below the recent acoustic albums of such credible artists as Kevin Kinney and Mark Lanegan.

Of the seven tracks on the EP, only 'Tom" remotely stands out as a semi-cool tune. A point must be given in their favor for their covering of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young's "Wooden Ships."

In an obvious attempt to gain street credibility, the band claims to have recorded and mixed the album in pro- ducer Ron Day's living room. The overproduction of this acoustic EP, complete with keyboards, leads one to believe that Day lives in a Hollywood recording studio.

—Shannon Conley

■ The Veldt "Afrodisiac"

Combining psychedelia with soul is The Veldt, a North Carolina quartet carv- ing a unique niche in music with their debut release, "Afrodisiac."

Beginning with the retro "It's Over," The Veldt travel through the Lenny Kravhv lemtory of exploring roots and laic '60s- early '70s rock in tracks such as "Soul in a Jar" and "Daisy Cham." They go for social commentary in "Revolutionary Sister" andcreatea Stone Temple Pikas soundalikc with the dark "Heather."

The Veldt succeed in part due to nu- mcrous obvious influences, but rise above mere formula through something most people never think about anymore: talent.

Students get first-hand look at legislature By Janeen Miracle Staff writer

Sharon Washburn'i Mack heels click against the slick while marble halls of the Capitol as she hurriedly carries letters to the legislative offices from her desk in Constituent Services.

Ordinarily. Washbum would be living the life of most college students, toting a backpack across campus and studying for tests. But this semester, she and three other Eastern students, Adam Hall. Neil Browning and James Pauon, are participating in the Kentucky Legislative Intern program, sponsored by the Legislative Research Commission.

"It overwhelms you that you are there," Washbum. a senior political science and environmental major from Richmond, said of the legislature. "It's like a basketball game. It's different than watching it on TV with your family. It's a whole other world."

The interns liked the first-hand experience they receive from seeing the General Assembly in action.

"The best pan is that you get to see it actually going on," Patton, a senior political science major from Rich- mond, said. "Everything I learned in class was good, but until I actually saw it, I didn't have the same insight."

Browning, who works for public information putting the Legislative Record ("the lifeblood of the legislators") together agreed, saying he enjoyed listening to the issues and watching laws being made.

ProgrMt/BRETT DUNLAP Intern Scott Douglas talks over some paperwork with hla employer, Democratic Rap. Rick Fox of Hartan, In Frankfort.

"A lot of action goes on in the committee meetings; you leant the hot issues." said Browning, a senior political science major from Li ten field. "It was cool getting to listen to the debate on the seat belt bill."

Hall, a junior philosophy and political science major from Richmond who stays busy running errands and keeping track of fiscal notes, said he likes what he has learned through the internship.

"I have gained better insight than I could get from a classroom," Hall said. "A textbook could never do justice to what goes on behind the scenes.

It gives a better feeling of what is going on in the political realm in Ken- tucky."

Because of the first-hand look at the legislature he has received. Patton decided that someday he might like to be a part of Frankfort as a legislator.

"Before I actually knew the legislature, it was just state government," Patton said. "After having been there, I fek like I could do a good job in one of those positions."

To be accepted into the program, the students submit an application to Eastern through the political science department. Students from any de-

partment may apply. The interns spend Monday

through Friday from 8 am. to 4:30 p.m. in Frankfort working for the Legislative Research Commission and other government committees.

They receive IS hours credit and a stipend of $700 a month.

Scott Douglas, a junior aviation major from London, decided to go out on his own and work for a legislator. Douglas wrote Rep. Rick Fox, D-Harlan. who was elected in 1992.

Douglas wrote Fox that he was interested in all levels of government and he would like to work for the representative.

He sent the letter in September, and in January, Douglas began in- terning for Fox, running errands, taking messages from constituents and talking toother representatives about different bills.

He said what he has learned will help him in the future.

"I will use it eventually." Dou- glas said. "As long as I can remember, I've always wanted to go into politics. I have political aspirations just like career aspirations."

Douglas said he has enjoyed in- terning this session.

"It's allowed me to get a lot of experience in something I'm interested in," Douglas said. "You read about bills that go through, you hear about how they passed, but you don't see behind the scenes," he said.

"Seeing how it works takes the mysticism out of it," Douglas said.

UNFORTUNATELY THIS IS WHERE PEOPLE ARE PUTTING

TOO MANY RETIREMENT DOLLARS. Every ytar, a lot of people make a

huge mistake on ihcir taxes.They don't take advantage of tax deferral and wind up sending Uncle Sam money they could be MVing lor retirement.

Fortunately! that's a mistake you can easily avoid with TIAA-CREF SRAs. SRAs not only ease your current tax- bite, they oiler a remarkably easy way to build retirement income—especially lor the "extras" that your regular pension and Social Security benefits may not cover. Because your contributions are made in bclbrc-tax dollars, you pay less taxes now. And since all earnings on vour SRA arc tax-deferred as well, the

money you don't send to Washington works even harder for you. Down the road, that can make a dramatic difference in your quality of life.

What else makes SRAs so special? A range of allocation choices—from the guaranteed security of TIAA to the diversified investment accounts ol CRKK's variable annuity—all backed by the nation's number one retirement system.

Why write off the chance for a more rewarding retirement? Call today and learn more about how TIAA-CREF SRAs can help you enjoy many happy returns.

Sweat and Smiles: Volunteer spirit lives Students helping the needy find inspiration in the mountains

By Stacy Battles Staff writer

OWINGSVTLLE — Itwasaqinet, foggy Saturday morning when tfie three- car caravan carrying volunteers from the Catholic Newman Center pulled out of Richmond and headed for Appala- chiaor.nKrespecificaUy.Owingsville, Ky.

; The Cathouc Newman Center provided a volunteering outlet for these people with its Ap- palachian WoA Day program.

Since its incep- tion, the program has helped hundreds of Appalachians needy by providing volunteers lo doe verythmg from cleaning and painting houses, doing yard work and repairing metal strip- ping on trailers to

cial Service Center looked like any ordi- nary gas station quick stop, but inside, instead of finding cold sandwiches and warm soft drinks, the group saw a host of donated goods ranging from clothes to appliances and eveiythaig in between.

Sponsored by the Glenmary Sisters ofOwensboro, the center provides goods and services for the local and surrounding communities.

"It's important to have these centers in small communities because there is low volunteer help," said Lynne Breen,

knowing what they may actually have to do or what situations they will face.

"I don't think it matters what kind of work we're doing," said AngieHisle, a senior at Eastern. "If that's where they need us to be, then I am glad to help ."

Expect the unexpected The directions attached to the

crumpled map led the group to a run- down Red Head gas station parking lot in Bath County.

planned to bring a couch to the center's private storage room. Her plans, however, were delayed when a county-wide power outage shut down the town.

Meanwhile, the volunteers had just rolled up their sleeves to work when they

were suddenly plunged into darkness. Unruffled, they continued to work

in the shadowy light coming through the grimy windows of the center.

The darkness didn't faze the group's spirits.

"It's good to get out and do something for others," said Tom Schaper, a graduating senior at Eastern. "It's a lot of fun, and it builds community."

An hour later, when the faint sound of a light rock radio station filtered into the room arid trie telephone began ring- ing, the group knew that the power had been restored.

Now, Wells' plans began to get back on track The group traveled to her house and assisted in the transport and storage of the couch.

Wells is a frequent donor to the

center and enjoys helpingothers in whatever way she can.

"I probably give four times a year," Wells said.

For some, it was a chance to experience Appalachian culture.

"For me, it'sachance to meet people from Appalachian said Bill Gregory, coordinator for the work day. "I'm from Louisville, so it's like the city life meets

the country life." For whatever reason they helped,

the volunteers returned to Richmond with a sense of accomplishment.

"When you've done a really big job, like painting or siding, the people are very appreciative and that' s rewarding beyond anything else," Breen said.

Habitat succeeds despite 'nerdy' name

Progress/BRETT DUNLAP Habitat for Humanity member Guy Patrick burns the mortgage on Joyce Qrtggs' house which was rebuilt by Habitat volunteers.

By Alisa Goodwill Contributing writer

When Secretary of Stele Bob Babbage fust heard of Habitat for Humanity, he thought,"Thisisagreat project. Habitat for Humanity, but it's a really nerdy name and it will never work."

Despite doubts and skepticism in the beginning. Habitat has become a major volunteer organization all over the country as well as in Kentucky.

"I've been wrong on several pre- dictions," Babbage said at Friday night's Appreciation Dinner and Kickoff Celebration in the Perkins Building. Babbage is on the spearing committee for the Kentucky Home- coming Project, which will affect Habitat.

Since its founding in 1976, Habi- tat for Humanity International has built over 22,000 homes. The Rich- mond affiliate, established in Decem- ber 1991, has built two homes and rebuilt another.

"Habitat builds houses and hope," said Florence Tandy, president of the Richmond, Madison County affiliate of Habitat for Humanity.

u Support Is different; some swing a hammer, others tap a keyboard or use a phone. "

— Florence Tandy, president of the Richmond Habitat for Humanity affiliate

The hope begins with the building of the home and becomes more than hope when the mortgage is destroyed

For Richmond resident Joyce Griggs and her family, hope grew a little stronger Friday night when Guy Patrick, a member of Habitat, burned her mortgage.

"Joyce Griggs said, 'We've never had hope before. Before, whenever we tried to do anything positive, our expectations would get lost,' but she now has hope," said Tandy.

The Richmond affiliate of Habitat has 125 active volunteers who help families build their own homes. The families who will live in the houses work with the volunteers in the con-

struction of the homes. Tandy said that in the Richmond-

Bcrea area, a family must put in 300 "sweat equity "hours into the construc- tion of their own home, which helps reduce the cost of the house.

"How the hours are worked off varies with each family," said Tandy. "Families can use relatives to help work off the hours."

Habitat is hoping to build three homes this year with the help of a $45,000 grant As a nonprofit organization, it relies heavily upon grants, fund-raisers and donations.

Tune and money are not the only donations needed. There are committees that work to find lots for the homes

and families who would benefit from Habitat Abo. they need help with publicity, fund raising and hard labor.

"Support is different; some swing a hammer, others tap a keyboard or use a phone," said Tandy. "There is a wide range of commitment"

Habitat is hoping to form a chap- ter at Eastern this semester.

"We have names of about 40 students." said Rick Trexler, campus minister of the Baptist Student Union who is helping coordinate the on-campus group.

Trexler said there were about 18 students from the BSU, 10 students from the United Methodist Campus Center and 12 from the Catholic Newman Center.

"Wedon't want it to be a religious thing, but we were hoping to generate enough interest through these students," said Trexler.

Trexler said this semester would be a more internal period, getting students interested, defining goals and other planning activities.

An informational meeting for interested students is tentatively being scheduled for the week after Spring Break. For more information,call Rick Trexler at 623-3294.

OVC has obvious choice for Morehead

What was Morehead Presi- dent Ronald G. Eaglin thinking when he decided his school no longer needed scholarship football as one of its athletic programs?

Does he know anything about the history of Morehead football? Has he ever heard of Phil Simms?

I don't think so. Although Eaglin felt by

cutting football scholarships, he was doing what was best for the university, the outspoken president has upset many fans, the head football coach and many of the school's football players with his "modem-day athletics have gotten out of hand" attitude.

Many of the players have already decided to quit the team after Morehead's Board of Regents decided Monday to let Eaglin negotiate a non-scholarship football program with the Ohio Valley Conference at the conference meetings at Middle Tennessee State University in Murfreesboro June 2 and 3.

On top of all of this, Eaglin expects the conference to allow Morehead to remain a member of the OVC in other sports.

Morehead probably would not even field a football team if its basketball team could remain in the conference without football, and it just might happen.

Maybe President Eaglin should ask the OVC to consider dividing the conference into two tiers.

One would be for programs like Eastern who takes its athletic programs seriously, and the other could be for schools like Morehead whose basketball coach, Dick Fick. likes to make jokes and whose football team will be a joke.

How can Morehead remain competitive in Division I-AA football when they will be unable to land any top-notch or even mediocre players because they have nothing to offer to recruit but a bill?

Fact is, they cannot remain competitive; even the coach admits it.

I have to tip my hat to Coach Cole Proctor for standing up for his team and its players, but at the same time I have to wonder why he has agreed to stick around even though all of his requests to keep scholarship football were ignored.

If Proctor were to abandon ship, what kind of coach would be willing to take over the Morehead team?

Proctor only managed to win 15 of 44 games as the head coach of the Eagles, so what makes him or anyone else think things are going to get any better?

In fact, the only chance for Morehead to have a chance for another winning season is if they compete against non-scholarship women's rugby learns.

Maybe President Eaglin can use the money saved from cutting the scholarships and erect a statue of Eagle alumnus Simms in the Morehead end zone, since the Eagles will never have to worry about running into it there.

I just hope other OVC learns don't follow Morehead's lead to the bottom of all collegiate athletics.

It would be a shame if a two- time Division I-AA champion coach such as Roy Kidd was forced to lower his standards lo the point where he had lo compete against teams that may have trouble beating a good high school team.

Collegiate sports fans should not be made to suffer because a university president wants to make a statement by saving the school mosey.

That just isn't fair.

Lady Colonels take third in tourney By Jason VanOver Staff wrkar

Eastern's Softball team look to the field last weekend as the host learn for the EKU Invitational softball tournament.

The two-day tournament, originally scheduled for March 4-5, was moved to March 5-6 because of the weather.

The five-team tournament included Eastern, Marshall University, Nicholls State University, Ohio Uni- versity and the University of Dayton.

Nicholls Stale finished fust in the invitational, Ohio University finished second and Eastern finished third because of a 6-0 loss lo Nicholls during the tournament.

Coach Jane Worthington said the team had a couple of rough games on Saturday.

"The team played better on Sun- day. I think that we're going in the right direction,'' Worthington said.

She also said the team will play a competitive schedule early in the year.

During Spring Break, the softball team will play a few teams ranked in the top 20, including No. 3 ranked Southwestern Louisiana.

Worthington plans for the softball team to be around .500 after the break and go on to win the OVC title this year.

Eastern provided a couple of players for the All Tournament team this past weekend, even with a disappoint- ing finish in the tournament.

Junior Amy Jones and sophomore Jamie Parker were the only two members of the Eastern squad who made the team.

Jones, who batted over .500 for the weekend, said she was excited that she made the team and pleased with the final game.

"We played well on Sunday,'' Jones said.

Jones said she hopes the team will

win a few games during Spring Break, and that the team will be able to gain some experience. She also said that Eastern could possibly win the OVC this year.

Parker, who hit over .600 for the

weekend, said that she could have done a better job pitching.

Parker went 1-1 on the mound, and also played infield as well.

"My offense was up to par," Parker said. "I thought I did a good job at

third." The softball team will get a chance

to travel during Spring Break while playing in the Georgia Stale Invita- tional March 12-13, against Sam ford University on March 14, Troy Stale on

March 15, Nicholls Stale University on March 17, Southwestern Louisiana on March 18 and Southeastern Louisi- ana on March 19.

Eastern gets KO'd in first round of OVC tourney ■ Eagles fly high over Colonels with 83-78 victory By Lanny Brannock Sports editor

NASHVILLE -What was sup- posed to happen didn't, and what wasn't did. And when it happens with the season on the line, there is nothing lo do but get on the bus and go home for the final time.

And lo the Colonel basketball learn, who watched a slightly too soft pass from Brad Divine gel intercepted by Morehead forward Kelly WeUs and flung blindly back over his head lo a wide open Mark Majick, had nothing left to do but exactly that, get on the bus and go home.

The pass from the left sideline, and a three, would have tied the game after trailing 81 78 with 21.9 seconds left to play.

"Wedidn'imovetotheball. It was a pass that I bet he wishes he had back," junior guard Arlando Johnson

LaDonna Wilson said Eastern was hurt on the boards by

fouls as two Lady Colonels, OVC Freshman of the Year and All-OVC Honorable Mention Kim Cunningham and fellow All-Freshmen learn member Lisa Fussell, picked up two fouls by the 9:27 mark.

"I personally thought inside that we hit the beards preuy hard." freshman forward Jerilyn Cushing said. "It was one of the more physical games we've played."

Wilson thought Eastern was a little bad back coming into the game, aad that was the difference.

They were kinda in the comfort zone and we look advantage of it," Wuaonsaid.

The Lady Colonels, however, know that wasn't the case.

"We've had a herd time getting momentum going early," senior guard Kim Mays said of Eastern's last couple of games.

Eastern managed to get back into the contest, drawing within three at 47-44 on a Siephany Davis baseline jumper with 13:32 remaining in the game, but couldn't draw any closer io the Lady Govs.

■ Eastern ousted by underdog Austin Peay 64-53 By Matt McCarty Assistant sport* editor

NASHVILLE — It's hard to beat a learn three times in one season and no team knows that better than Eastern's women's basketball squad who suffered a 64-53 loss to Austin Peay in its quest for a season sweep.

"I have 10 give Austin Peay all the credit," head coach Larry Inman said. "They came out and played hard."

"You have nothing to lose," Soaja Cox said about being the uaderdog. "If you're on top, all you can do is fall, and when you're on the bottom, all you can do is climb up."

Eastern, who finished the season at 17-9 and 12-5 OVC. forced the Lady Governors to turn the ball over 27 times to its 13, but Austin Peay's 46-28 edge in rebounding made up for the turnovers.

The Colonels downed the Eagles 90-81 in Moreheadand87-78athome.

This time the Eagles came out on top with an 83-78 victory though, when it counted the moat

"It was a good effort, but the shots just didn't go down. Their pressure was good enough, but we didn't ex- ecute well." Eastern coach Mike Calhounsaid.

The Colonels did have one good half.

At half time Eastern owned a 45- 41 lead behind Johnson's 16 points on 4-5 three-point shooting.

Johnson rained in four consecu- tive threes as the Colonels jumped out loa2I-12lead with 11:47 logo in the first half.

But Fick countered with instant offense. Mike Scrogham, Fick's not- so-athletic forward came in aad hit a three pointer and added a jumper to bring the score to 24-23.

Morehead added momentum at the end of the half with Tyrone Boardley's dunk going into the second half only trailing by four.

"As a basketball team, we haven't been able to sustain our focus for 40 minutes," Johnson said.

After a blistering 58.1 percent shooting performance in die first half, the Colonels managed a paltry 34.4 percent in the second. The Colonels connected on 50 percent of its first- half threes, but only 25 percent ia the second.

Eastern had its chance with about 25 seconds to go. Junior Marlon Stewart's 6-footer in die fame hit the front of the rim with the Colonels trailing 79-78.
