Open house privileges revoked for hall council absenteeism By George Roberts Staff writer
If they can't join you, beat them. This philosophy has been adopted,
figuratively at least, by McGregor and Palmer Halls through their residence hall councils.
Both halls have approved measures which allow councils to suspend the open house privileges of an entire floor for a week if that floor is not represented at the weekly hall council
meeting. The idea behind these measures,
according to Emery "T" Lee, director of Palmer Hall, is to make sure that all floors have a say in matters of hall government
"It sounds kind of stiff at first," Lee said "It puts a lot of pressure on the reps to be there. After we get them there, they can see what hall council is all about."
Lee said that all of the floors ex- cept for 2 and 8 in his hall have tempo-
rarily lost their open house under this policy. Lee did point out that there were numerous options floor representatives or members could exercise in order to keep their open house in Palmer.
"I'm certainly willing to compro- mise," Lee said "I'm open to just about anything. But if they miss, something has to be taken away if they don't offer to make amends."
Lee said enactment of a floor- sponsored program such as an all-
night movie presentation has been used to atone for an absence.
Lee said the measures have been successful in promoting attendance but have not been wildly popular.
"The sanction pissed a lot of people off, but it helped hall council." Lee said. You're never going to have a situation that's gonna please everybody."
The authority and fairness of open house revocation for missed floor meetings has been questioned by resi-
dents, mainly those who lose their privileges, Lee said. According to Lee, these measures have been approved by the Residence Hall Asso- ciation, which oversees hall council activity and Jeannette Crockett, dean of student life.
Crockett gave the sanction a somewhat tentative blessing.
"The theory behind that is, that it does something for apathy and lets the people on the floor know if they are not being represented,'' Crockett said.
"I think there are some alternatives — if some positive energies were put into hall government."
Harry Collins was president of Palmer Hall Council when the sanction was approved there last October when Lee became director. Collins is now a resident of Martin Hall and secretary of R H A. Collins said he had mixed feelings about the sanction.
"Yes, you do have attendance but

The quest for knowledge Student leaders show support for state budget By Ken Hollo way News editor
Gov. Wallace Wilkinson received added support last Thursday, when the Board of Student Body Presidents held a morning news conference in Frankfort announcing its approval for the proposed higher education budget
The Board, which represents student government presidents from the eight public universities, called the news conference to express thoughts and concerns about the proposed budget.
"We feel that the governor's budget pro- posals are a step in the right direction," said Eddie Allen, chairman of the Board and student body president of Murray State Univer- sity.
Under Wilkinson's proposal, state univer-
The Kentuc
sities and colleges would receive $206 million in additional revenue.
From this amount, $15 million would go toward new college incentive programs such as the College Access Program and the A+ Scholarship Program.
"We support the two programs proposed by the governor that increase financial aid to Kentucky's students," Allen said. "We feel these are programs that will enhance the financial aid picture, and we hope to see them

Progress staff report Peter J. Flaherty HI, a local attorney, was
appointed as Alcoholic Beverage Control administrator in a Jan. 22 meeting of the Richmond City Commission. Flaherty replaces Joe Joiner, who resigned from the position Jan. 16.
Flaherty, 41, has practiced law for 16 years in Richmond, but he said the appointment came as a surprise to him.
"Frankly, I really don't know why they asked me," he said
Flaherty said Mayor Ann Durham called and asked him to take the position, which was retroactive to Jan. 16 upon his appointment.
"Pete's a fine practicing attorney," Dur- ham said. "He's just a real good attorney."
Flaherty said he hasn't yet decided if he will make any changes in the way the city's alcoholic beverage laws are carried out
"I really haven't formulated any kind of a game plan other than what the statutes say," he said.
The ABC administrator is responsible for enforcing local alcohol ordinances and coor- dinating with state efforts to regulate the con- sumption of alcohol by minors and other abuses of alcohol.
Flaherty will receive an annual salary of $7,649.
Joiner had served as ABC administrator since Janurary, 1987. He is currently an associate professor in business law at the university.
Student critically injured in weekend accident Progress staff report
A 21-year-old university student is listed in serious but stable condition following a six-car pileup in Lexing- ton early Saturday.
Alyssa Noland, a senior journal- ism major from Richmond, was appar- ently thrown from her car after it was struck by two other cars about 1 a.m. on Athens-Boonesboro Road.
Noland was returning home from the Lexington Herald-Leader where she works as an intern on the copy desk.
Several other motorists sustained minor injuries in the accident, which occurred when Noland slowed her car as a vehicle in front of her waited to make a left turn.
"I hurt," Noland said softly from her bed at Good Samaritan Hospital Tuesday afternoon. "But I'm OK."
Noland suffered a severe concus- sion but no internal injuries, according to her father, Gary.
She was moved Tuesday from the intensive care unit at Good Samaritan, where she was originally listed in criti- cal condition, and her condition is con- tinuing to improve, he said
"She's making good progress," he said. "She's doing pretty well right now."
He added, however, that she had trouble remembering some things.
"One time she'll remember everything, another time she only remem- bers some things," he said.
Noland said she had no recollec- tions from the accident.
It is not known yet when she will be able to leave the hospital, her father said.

Milos Sebor shares views on foreign affairs By J.S. Newton Managing editor
He sits in a high-backed chair in his living room, legs crossed, with a serious, attentive look in his eyes. Behind him stands a piece of cloth symbolizing his need to live out his ideals. Behind him stands a red, white and blue flag.
Dr. Milos Sebor was born in Czechoslovakia many years ago. He refuses to tell when.
"I'm still here," he said, qualify- ing his response to questions about his age.
He has gray hair and speaks with a strong foreign tongue. Sebor's Eng- lish vocabulary is challenging to the listener. His accent even moreso.
Now in semi-retirement, he talks of his views on the events in Europe, of what he misses, of a day when he held an influential government office. He talks of fleeing his home- land to escape persecution.
Sebor is a resident of Richmond.
.»
Down a winding road, 10 min- utesoutside of town, five miles north of Madison Central High School sits a comfortable, one-story house at the end of the block.
It is black outside, very dark at the end of the road — no lights on the street. His yard has a little gate and a metal fence.
From his bay window, where most people see only darkness, he sees the world. He finds answers in the darkness.
Now an American citizen, Se- bor hasn't a worry.
Not long ago he taught geogra- phy at the university.
In Czechoslovakia, he said he held the position as deputy director with the Bureau of Criminal Inves- tigations and worked as a lawyer.
He was put in prison in 1948 for reasons he did not want to divulge. Then he escaped from Czechoslo- vakia and took his wife with him.
"She wouldn't go without me. I wouldn't go without her," he said.
He spent five years in France and three years living in Canada.
Sebor has been in Kentucky for 21 years, he said, but he has not lost touch with what has been going on

Wilkinson's misleading ad makes joke of legislature
Not only has Wallace Wilkinson hit the prime time TV network, he's done so as a comedian.
Forget about "Saturday Night Live" and anything Monty Python has ever produced. Our gover- nor has proven that even in times of political turmoil, he can get just as big a laugh as Eddy Murphy in tight leathers.
In a commercial he began airing last Thursday, the governor accuses the legislature of trying to "grab" the lottery proceeds and "put it in something they call the General Fund." - ~ „ *-«_*• i
'That's Frankfort talk- mThe leaders of the General ing," he continues. "They're spending it anyway they please."
The spot would have us believe our elected legislators have a secret account into which they dip their greedy, greasy hands—an attack our senatdrs and representatives are not apt to take kindly. From there evolves the violent/comic Wile E. Coyote and Roadrunner comedy routine, a part which Wall y readily masters. While wiley Wally tries unsuccessfully to snare the legislators in a series of unbelieveably absurd traps, he is the one who ends up looking foolish.
Perhaps what makes his routine work is the tongue in cheek humor in which it was written. In the
Assembly are trying to grab that money ... and put it in
something they call the_ General Fund.
30-second spot, we see Wilkinson walking amongst playing children and elderly citizens, while pro- claiming he "didn't fight for the lottery to have the money go into some General Fund. I fought for a specific fund to help children and senior citizens."
Wally still insists on earmarking money for programs he promised two years ago would benefit from it. Certainly the programs are important — so, important, in fact, that they should not be promised funding from a dwindling source of revenue.
According to a report published by the Lexington Her- ald-Leader, the lottery brought in about $27 million a week. It is currently averaging about $3.5 million a week. Should the proceeds continue to drop, the programs which are funded under them would suffer.
55 Our governor, of course, can figure that out, but
his lines only serve to prove that understatement is one of the funniest techniques a comedian can employ.
Then comes the punch line: "Call the General Assembly. Tell them your
lottery money doesn't belong in thei r General Fund." But when the stand-up comedian is also the gov-
ernor of the state, is it any wonder no one is laugh- ing?
Veto of legislative proposal rescinds administrative vow
Once again our nation's political battlefield has sparked criticism in the implementation of foreign policy.
President Bush vetoed congressional legislation that would have allowed students from communist China to stay in the United States.
Congress had a chance to override the veto, and did so in the House of Representatives 390-25.
But the next day the senate killed the override by four votes and Bush was happy knowing the GOPs had stood firmly by his side.
According to a spokesperson from Senator Mitch McConnell's office in Washington, much of the debate of the issue wasn't for the welfare of the students but an argument over who should govern foreign policy.
As usual, the president has managed to jump his political hurdles. Mr. Bush told members of the Senate last week that he had an alternate plan that would better serve the needs of the Chinese students in the United States.
The president has convinced the Senate that an executive order will take care of all the worries of students from China — the students will be safe.
But our fearless leader docs not have to deal with what many Chinese students will have to deal with if they are sent back to their country.
Many of the students in this country, who are from China, openly participated in demonstrations to denounce a hostile communist government in China.
If they were to be deported because of Mr. Bush's foreign policy, which he assures will not
happen, then they will have to suffer the conse- quences of their actions.
Our fearless leader will be in his big white bouse, accompanied by a band of pumped up security guards and secret servicemen.
He will only have to read about the atrocities of what may go on, if it is reported at all.
George is not scared. He is not frightened. He will be safe.
We are hopeful his executive order will do all he has claimed it will.
But if it does not, he will be faced with a bigger problem. He will have to explain to those of us who thought there was a use to the original proposed legislation.
The biggest problem with an executive order— it can be rescinded at the will of the president.
This allows the president control over his foreign policy, but guarantees little security for those students who —just a few short months ago—put their trust in this nation's leadership.
The students from China deserve to feel secure. This most recent move on the part of the presi-
dent sends a message to those students as to what is more important — politics or promises.
We wish to show our support for the students from China, and we hope that this recent develop- ment docs not mean their safety in this country has been jeopardized.
We pray the president holds true to his word and true to his promise for the safety of the Chinese students.
To the editor... Women serve in ministry, also
Educators are always concerned with the "teachable moment," that is seizing any on-the-spot opportunity for teaching a new concept, a new way of thinking, a means of broadening another's horizon.
The article, "Four Men with a Mission," could have been a "teachable moment," This article truly re- flected the ministry of four dedicated men here on Eastern's campus. How- ever, it fell short of telling people the
whole story. Couldn't the article have been titled "People with a Mission," thus erasing some of the dualism that permeates our society? The readers have been deprived of the opportunity to learn that women can, and indeed do, dedicate their lives to the service of others in church-related ministries here on campus.
In my heart I feel the pain that my black and Hispanic brothers and sis- ters feel when they arc excluded from
a rightful recognition, unintentionally of course.
God created us equal. Let's seize every opportunity for evidencing this reality in our lives.
Thanks to my co-ministers for what they have done, and continue to do, here on the campus of Eastern Kentucky University.

Richmond fast-food routine prompts writer to hallucinate
Working in this office without windows has made me a frustrated man — frustrated mentally, frustrated physically and frustrated se.... Well, let's not go overboard.
But what I am most frustrated about presently is fast food and the overabundance thereof.
I work in an office seven days a week and eat more garbage than our neighbor's alley cat.
I have a little routine. That routine is getting old.
Mondays I hit the bypass for a burger and some fries.
Tuesday I trip on over to the bypass for a burger and some fries. Wednesday I get in my beat-up Datsun and drive down the bypass for a liule lunch — burgers and fries.
Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday I puke like a drunken sailor on the high seas and cover my face with acne medicine from having eaten 25 or so hamburg- ers throughout the course of the week.
To relieve the stress of driving through yet another drive-thru, I sometimes manage to eat at Pacos, Fedos or another sit-down establishment which isn't sick of seeing me.
But there are only so many different Mexican dishes, and I can only imagine what it would be like to have to cat another plate of Fedo's famous lasagna.
With little time to spare in the week I do not have enough time to fix meals at home. If you have ever seen my home you would not want to try and fix meals there either.
Still, sometimes I break down and buy a 42-cent burrilo at the supermarket, just to save money and have the illusion of eating in.
But bean burritos are not good for office relations, and I can be caught on occasion
cs *
Cacophony running to and from the lavatory.
So, I am stuck between fast food and micro-nuclear, radioac- tive treats.
I am so disgusted with the food ordeal, that I could not find a single tantalizing item at Super- One, the mega-market of the supermarket world.
Instead, I bought some Frosty Paws, a nutritional treat for young dogs which resembles ice cream. My house runs rampant with black Labrador retrievers.
On occasion, a treat for the dogs keeps me from having to watch them lick themselves.
Instead, they can lick a Frosty Paw treat
I was so needy of a new eclectic taste, that when my roommate asked me if they really tasted like ice cream, I obliged.
No, they do not They taste like frozen wheat germ.
I am in need of therapy. What will be next — Puppy
Chow, Purina Dog Chow, Meow Mix, Kibbles and Bits?
There must be a logical answer to my "food ordeal" as I now refer to it
Man cannot live on Frosty Paws alone.
I need meat, potatos and the odd slice of niffage.
Sliced carrots will do. I just need to get out of the fast food buisness.
I have been hoping to see a new restaurant open up in the downtown metropolis. I will be there when it opens. I will buy stock.
Anything that isn't fast food has got to be worth investing in.
Still, after a while a new place would merely parallel the rest of the food fair.
My life is in ruins. My sub- conscious mind sees everyone in my office, at one time or another, as a giant hamburger topped with special sauce and cheese, pickles for the eyes and a ketchup mouth painted on.
Soon when the hallucinations get worse, skinny liule people like myself will start resembling french fries.
If my roomates come home and find die dogs gone, it may be because I have run out of Frosty Paws. I confess. I need a shrink.
And if my mental problems aren't mounting enough, I spend at least S75 a week on greasy slop.
A few weeks back, I started keeping a can of soup in my desk.
Campbell's puts such pretty pictures on the cans.
Often I just sit a can on my desk and dream of the good ol' days — back when Mom used to have a homemade bowl of chicken noodle waiting on the table when I came in out of the rain.
There was a day, oh what a glorious day, when even a bowl of potato would satisfy much of my need for a late afternoon snack.
Now, I just look at the pictures. Now I just reminisce.
My mother is on vacation in Cuba, and the can of soup is sitting in my right hand drawer. Oh — the simple pleasures in life used to be so rewarding.
From now on, I am abandon- ing fast food. No more burgers until....
Someone will need to reserve me a bed at one of our state hos- pitals. A delicious quarter pounder with cheese just scampered in the office door.

Answer to simple question would yield infinite wisdom
"Get wisdom: and with all thy getting, get understanding."
Proverbs 4:7
"This may be a stupid question, but..."
We've all said it before. The question — the unknown dangling bit of information — tickles the back of your mind.
Even though you know the person you're asking will reassure you that no question is a stupid question, the thought remains: Will that person bust a gut remembering my flamboyant display of ignorance?
And so, some questions are stifled for the sake of embarrass- ment, others smothered so as to not ignite controversy and many die because our vocabulary cannot express what we actually want to know.
I've always had a lot of questions.
At first it was the normal and expected questions from a child: Is he just going to be asleep for a long time? Will he go to doggy heaven? What does that word mean?
I know my parents thought long and hard to provide me with the correct but suitable answer. Whether to shut me up or just to satisfy pie, I'm sure the situation varied.
More importantly, I was always prodded to ask when I did not know.
No question is a stupid question.

My turn
my life, even though it's looking to be about six now.
College — a never-ending camp, a place where people accept you as you are, freedom, the gap between youth and adulthood — a place to answer your questions.
I wouldn't want to say that, even now, I'm on a philosophical quest to answer those questions I have secretly harbored. Those answers I need and have just now found the appropriate words to voice.
It's not the question which is stupid, but those choice words which bring the message across.
So we, as students, now ask those questions expected of us: What is freedom? What is happi- ness? What is what?
Somewhere I missed something.
Perhaps I didn't ask enough in my younger years. Perhaps no one listened to me when I did ask. Perhaps someone lied to me.
I'm not in college just for a GPA and a diploma, although those things are of some value to me.
I'm not here for the memories and the friends; I would have those at the local burger joint I'm not here for the benefits — I really don't know of any.
My objective at this prestigious institute of higher learning is to understand, to become wise. I know it may sound stupid but to understand you have to ask, and no question is stupid.
I have answered a lot of ques-
tions while living on The Campus Beautiful. Just how far will a dollar stretch? Where can I get enough quarters to do three weeks worth of laundry? Who accepts personal checks the last week of school?
Yes, worthy questions to which I, sometimes painfully, found answers.
But there are other questions, answers I fear I will never know.
As I sat in front of a computer monitor early Monday night I learned a staff writer for the Progress had been rear-ended by a driver who was suspected of being under the influence of alcohol. As I listened, I methodi- cally called up a story to read and correct — I looked at the byline and it was her story. I knew that if I had any problems with her story, I couldn't call her and ask for a rewrite — she's in intensive care, no visitors allowed.
I then began to fear for all of my friends who I knew would be making the weekly trek back to school. I began to fear for my family.
I'm not going to leap onto a soapbox, preaching the perils of driving under the influence — there is enough propaganda and better places to promote.
I just want to ask one question.
Addressed to those of you who are wise and to those of you who are searching for understanding.
I'm going to risk embarrass- ment and controversy, and use my feeble vocabulary to the limit
And I'll even keep it simple. Why?

International student invites others to cultural social
Let me say hello to all the American students on behalf of all of the international students, and on my own behalf as the coordinator of International Nights this semester.
I do not think the American students realize there are ISO In- ternational students from SO different countries on our campus.
Intercommunication between American and International students could be beneficial in various aspects of life for both groups.
It helps each group to learn more about other cultures, traditions, customs, history and moral values.
The International Office at the university, with the help of international students and their organizations, is trying to organize different activities that enlighten the campus community about our varying cultures.
These organizations include International Students Associa- tion, Asian Students International Association, African Students Association, International Women and International
Friends. Some of the activities they
organize are cross cultural mixers, international nights and much more.
This semester marks the beginning of the fourth annual series of International Nights.
There will be eight more international nights throughout the course of the semester. Each night will deal with a different heritage from different countries.
The students who organize each night are proud of their countries, customs and traditions.
They are anxious to share their knowledge with their American counterparts.
Since I have been in Amer- ica, I have been exposed to different moral values, cultural traditions, native customs and much more. My overall experi-
ence has been one of enrichment. These nights are great oppor-
tunities to learn and to be exposed to different ways of living.
We want the American students to take advantage of these unique opportunities and come enjoy the nights.
These nights will be held in the Kennamer Room of the Powell Building from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Wednesday evenings.
Feb. 7 will be Egypt night Feb. 14 will be Cameroon night and Feb. 21 is Nepal night
Malaysia night is slated for Feb. 28, while March will see Caribbean night In April we will have Germany night Indonesia night and Mali night
All of the events are free of charge, so feel free to come and bring your friends.
If you need more information about these nights or any other International activity, don't hesi- tate to stop by Keith 140 or call 622-1278.

Apes learn to communicate through 'magic' of language By Alyssa Noland Staff writer
"Language is a sort of magic. Sort of like little bubbles, little thoughts, little particles of our mind that we send to other people," Dr. Sue Sav- age-Rumbaugh said.
Last Wednesday night, Rum- baugh, an associate professor in the departments of biology and psychology at Georgia State University, gave a presentation on a project that she and other scientists had been working on and having success.
The presentation was entitled "Apes: Language, Math and Minds."
In an earlier project, Rumbaugh and other scientists worked with a common chimpanzee named Lana.
By using a computer keyboard with a joystick and various kinds of symbols which stood for words, Lana was able to learn some language and to learn how to count Lana was in this language-relevant research from 1971 to 1979.
Dr. Rosaime Lorden, a professor in the university's psychology department, said the work which Rumbaugh and others are doing with the chimpanzees is important and "fascinat- ing."
"For years there has been a debate as to whether humans were the only species that could use language," Lorden said. "Some people define humans in terms of being the only creatures to use language.
"During the sixties, people began to challenge this assumption. People tried to teach chimpanzees and goril- las to use language."
Lorden said that in the first attempts, scientists tried to teach a chimp, Vicky, to use words, but were unsuc- cessful. Vicky only learned to say a few simple words.
"Chimps have different tongues, larynx, pharynx," Lorden said. "It's hard for them to produce the sounds that we use."
When attempts to teach Vicky to talk failed, a group of researchers, called The Gardiners. decided to teach sign language.
The Gardiners worked with a
Sue Savage-Rumbaugh chimp named Washoe and was able to teach him to use American sign language.
Both Washoe and Lana were able to learn how to name things and how to ask for them, but Rumbaugh said what the chimps learned was not actually language.
"You can't have a language unless you can talk to one another," Rumbaugh said. "You can't have a language unless we can tell each other about things. Language isn't just asking for what you want."
Rumbaugh is now heading a research project of the Yerkes Regional Primate Center in Georgia.
The project takes place on 58 acres of forest land in Atlanta. It is what Rumbaugh affectionately called "the chimpanzee preschool."
In this project pygmy, chimpanzees and Bonobos, are being taught to use language and to understand it
Pygmy chimpanzees stand more upright than the common chimpanzees.
"Their social/sexual behavior is so similar to that of humans that when I have dared to describe it and show films of it people get so embarrassed that sometimes they just walk out" Rumbaugh said.
Pygmy chimps are also more vocal than common chimps and Rumbaugh said that when one of them talks to you "it looks right up in your face and you

feel like you are being talked to and you don't know what to say to him."
In an earlier project conducted at the center from 1976 to 1984, the researchers worked with two common chimps, Sherman and Austin.
The chimpanzees learned to make some vocal sounds, "but they really didn'(comprehend. They really didn't understand. They had no receptive skills," Rumbaugh said.
"They used the keyboard to ask for things like, 'Machine, please give M& M?' We had to teach them how to share food, how to share attention, how to coordinate, how to have mu- tual goals," Rumbaugh said.
In order to teach the chimps how to share, the researchers placed food in a box. A lever was needed to get the food out
"Austin saw where the food was, but Sherman had all the tools," Rum- baugh said. "Austin told Sherman what tool it was he needed and Sherman gave him the correct tool. Austin used the lever, opened up the box, then was asked to share some of the food with Sherman."
With the pygmy chimps, the researchers hope to go even further.
Through working with the pygmy chimp Kanzi, the researchesrs were able to And thai pygmy chimps can learn to understand the spoken Eng- lish word and to assoiciate the words with symbols on the keyboards.
The chimp was able to do this by simply observing the researchers and without being given any rewards, "just as a young 2- or 3- year-old chi Id would learn."
The work that Rumbaugh and the researchers at the Yerkes Research Center have done with the chimps is now being used to benefit children.
By using the keyboard with symbols on it, children who are having problems learning numbers are being taught how to count, and mentally retarded children are being taught to communicate with others.
"What I conceive the purpose in being," Rumbaugh said, "is to bring humans and animals a little closer together during my time here on this planet."

Three university students appeared before the grand jury Jan. 24 on charges of cultivating marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of marijuana, which totaled more than $70,000.
Allen Dykes Chafin, 25, and Wil- liam "Bill" Jerry Smith. 23, both of 307 Turpin Drive, were indicted by the grand jury on all three charges.
Carla Jane Long, 24, also a resident of 307 Turpin Drive, had a charge of cultivating marijuana, a class D felony, dismissed by the grand jury because probable cause could not be found to sustain the charge.
Long, who is still charged with possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia, both mis- demeanors, will appear before Dis- trict Court on Feb. 14.
Chafin and Smith are awaiting a date to be set for their arraignment.
The charges brought against the three students were the end result of a Dec. 6 search of the student's apartment by Richmond City Police.
A search warrant was issued to Detective Steve Gregg of the Richmond Police by District Court Judge Irene Sleen on Dec. S.
According to Gregg's written petition requesting a search warrant, he said he had been given information from an unknown source, whose past information had led to the prosecution of about 10 drug offenders.
Gregg said, in his request, that the informant had approached the three students at their residence to purchase
marijuana. The residents told the informant
that they only had enough marijuana for personal use and that they were expecting a large shipment of marijuana Dec. 5.
The residents then allegedly showed the informant IS marijuana plants which were being grown in a closet, under lights, according to Gregg's petition.
After obtaining the search warrant, Richmond City Police served the residents the warrant and entered the residence.
According to the police report, upon entering the students' residence, police found "a large double closet just off the living room. The closet was completely lined with aluminum foil."
In the closet, a "sun/grow" lamp, a small fan, a watering system and 76 separate marijuana plants were found.
Police found several pipes, marijuana clips, rolling papers and High Times magazines in the living room, the police report said.
A large, blue water pipe, "bong", was found in Chafin's bedroom.
The police report said the three residents consented and signed a "permission to search" form.
Police then searched the defen- dants' cars and found a bag of marijuana in Smith's car.
The residents were arrested and taken to the Madison County Jail.
Chafin posted a cash bail bond of $2,004.
Long and Smith also posted cash bailbondsfor$1.004,accordinglothe release form.

My name is Mark Preston. I am 32 years old and a self made millionaire. A few years ago I discovered a money making method that changed my life forever. This is not just another "get rich quick scheme." This is a unique new system that is in demand everywhere, yet few people even know it exists.
Anyone can do it Trust me. If you want to make money, this system is for you. When I first started this money making program, I was flat broke and at least $10,000 dollars in debt. My family thought I was crazy and said I should be out looking for a "real job." That did not stop me. I was determined to make it with this fan- tastic money making plan I had discovered.
I started at home on the kitchen table with no capital. Within a year I was taking in over $20000 A WEEK.. .MORE THAN A MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR. Ybu heard me right, OVER A MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR! I went from driving an old beat up Pick-Up to a Brand New Lincoln Continental. I paid for it in cash. I bought a new home in a prestigious neighborhood, a waterfront summer cot- tage, and a Townhouse in Florida. I do not mean to brag, but these are my results using this amazing money making system. Do not envy me, join me!
THE SECRET REVEALED I knew then I had discovered a revolu-
tionary new money making program that would continue to make me thousands of dollars a day. It seemed so easy. I asked myself why everybody wasn't nch? Then it dawned on me that not everyone knew about this secret method of making money. Ybu do not need special training or even a college education for this money making system to work for you.
Once you have learned how to use it, C! money worries will be over for life,
wul have financial security and peace of mind. This money making system is perfectly legal and amazingly simple. It has nothing to do with real estate, the stock market, or gambling of any kind.
It does not matter what your financial situation »iww. Ybu can start this money making program at home in your spare time with less than $15.00. In a few snort weeks you will see the cash start to roll in. Once you put this money making
rim to work for you, the skys the limit! will have cash to spend on whatever
you want, whenever you want it. Think of hi Enough cash to finally put an end to economic nightmares forever!

Classes offered at university on wedding-related activities By Tom Marshall Staff writer
A "wedding package" of classes, sponsored by the university division of special programs, will be offered for the spring semester to members of the community.
According to special interest co- coordinator Leigh Ann Sadler, the three non-credit courses are offered in the area of wedding-related activities.
They are offered to leach etiquette and proper mannerisms for the upcoming spring wedding season.
Among the three courses to be offered are "Catering for Large Events," "Wedding Etiquette" and "Beautiful Hair and Nails."
Instructors for the courses will include Greg Hopkins,director of university's division of food service; Anita Nicland, a professional bridal consultant and Nancy Wray, cosme- tologist
"Catering for Large Events" is scheduled for March 10, 10 a.m. to noon.
"Wedding Etiquette" begins April 9 and will last from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.
"Beautiful Hair and Nails " starts April 30 at 6:30 p.m.
Sadler said the three courses can be taken individually or as a package at discount rates.
Each of the three courses can be
taken individually. Costs for the individaul courses
range from $10 to $12 or as a package for $30.' Th is is the biggest event many will plan for and they need to know how to handle it," Sadler said.
Sadler said the courses will leach- students the importance of wedding tradition and the proper things to do when faced with common wedding problems.
She said many students are not prepared for a lot of the problems that
might come up because of various reasons.
Students will learn personal grooming techniques and will be educated in preparation for wedding parties. Sadler said more than SO separate courses are being offered this semester by the division of special programs and 700 to 800 students are expected to register this semester.
"It's a good way to stretch interest outside academics," Sadler said.
According to Sadler, most classes meet once or twice a week. She said classes will most likely meet for about six weeks and cost between $30 and $60.
According to Sadler, a scuba div- ing class will also be offered, at a cost of about $100, and some classes will be aimed at children.
Two tour packages are on the agenda for the spring. Trips are planned to the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, N.C.. April 6-8, and a two-week tour of the gardens of England, May 22 - June S. Sadler said that an array of classes aimed at senior citizens will be offered.
Theseclasses will likely costsen- iors only a $S registration fee for enrolling. The program courses have been a "very popular service to bring others from the community to the university," Sadler said.

War makes no dollars or sense, mother says in peace forum By Heather Hill Staff writer
The cost of war and peace from a mother's perspective — not only monetary, but the cost of of human lives in war—was the topic discussed Jan. 24 by Dr. Anna Kuhl in a forum sponsored by the Council on Interna- tional Affairs and Government, and the university's War and Peace Proj- ect
"When Bush said what a great thing we did for our country after the bombing in Beirut I said, "These are my sons—mine. Not faceless people. Of all things to give up for my country, I had to give up my son'," Kuhl
said. Kuhl comes from a military fam-
ily and is a professor in the department of criminal justice at the university.
Her father was a Naval officer, her first husband was in the Army, her second husband was in the Navy and two of her three children are also in the Army.
"I thought men were bom with tattoos," she said. "All the men I knew had them and I thought that was how to tell male from female—until I got older and knew better."
Even with all of this military background, Kuhl described herself as a pacifist.
She marched against the Vietnam
War, and said it was a very real con- flict for her.
"Some people would spit on the men returning from the war. I was not one of them, but I was very against the war," Kuhl said.
"The wonderful thing about being an American is saying you don't like what the government is doing or don't tike what they're saying. Not to try and shove it down my throat," she said. "I want you to listen and question what the government tells you as much as you're questioning me."
Kuhl said war costs not only in terms of her children but also the impact it has on Americans monetar- ily.
According to Kuhl, the United States government has spent $250 million on the B-l Bomber and it does not work. She said the United States could be spending the money on the homeless, on education or to relieve the debt.
The legacy we're leaving is a trillion dollar debt and our government is still concerned with financing weapons," she said. "Research shows that defense contracts do not employ as many people as peace-time efforts. Norway and Sweden provide for their own country. There is an overcharg- ing in the United States not only in military, but in all aspects of govern ment"
"We need to team about the cost, because you're going to pay for it," she said. "Everyone in this room is going to pay for the debt Right now the government's using our Social Security to pay off the debt That money is not going to be in there when I retire. They're trying to make our country look like it's better off than it is."
According to Kuhl. World War I and World War II brought the United States outof the depression. Jobs were generated for men and women, and the economy went up.
Kuhl said the United States lived by the principle: "let him who desires peace prepare for war." Instead of
permanently demobilizing the military apparatus in the postwar years, the United States spent more to develop and maintain advanced weap- onry.
According to Kuhl, she encour- aged her son to stay in the Army, to get an education and to pursue his career in the best way possible.
"But some day," she said, "some dude in the White House is going to prove they're not a wimp by sending him to a place where his potential of dying is real high."
"And some will say. 'I gave up my son for a noble cause.' That's bullshit I gave up my son so somebody could make a point with Noriega."

enacted." Also, $102 million would be ap-
plied to (he building program and additional revenue would increase faculty salaries.
"These new dollars would provide needed teacher salary increases," Allen said. "We see thisascrucial. We arc losing our best and most distin- guished faculty to competing institu- tions simply because they can pay more than we can."
The Council on Higher Education proposed a tuition increase for the next two years to raise $100 million in stale funding for public universities. This means students could possibly pay over $29 million more in tuition.
Eastern undergraduate students will pay an 11.3 percent increase in tuition next year, and those who at- tend in 1991-92 will have to paya 10.2 percent increase in tuition if the plan were adopted.
But before the Council's proposal can go into effect, it must receive approval from the governor and the General Assembly.
Members of the Board of Student Body Presidents said they do support an increase in tuition, but that increase should be marginal.
John Elder, amember of the Board, said that tuition will go up, but he hopes that financial aid will also increase to help students.
"We've got to give some to help move higher education forward in Kentucky, but we also expect the government to help out, too," Elder said.
"We recognize these increases as our investment in higher education," Allen said, "and we call on the legislature and the governor to work together to provide the same sacrifice."
ScottChildress, university student body president, said if the proposed tuition increase is passed, overall enrollment would decline some.
Childress said the university student government and the Board of Student Body Presidents is still working in an attempt to have the proposed tuition increase lowered.
"Everyday that the General As- sembly meets and the closer it comes to the end of the session," Childress said, "the hope diminishes."

Progress photo fcy CHARLES BOLTON Scott Childress addresses fellow student body presidents at a meeting in Frankfort last week.
Scott Kappas, student body president of Northern Kentucky Univer- sity, said many students will be able to afford the tuition increase, but those students who cannot afford it will probably have to sit outa semester and earn enough to cover the increase. Kappas said the Board is encouraging all eight of the public universities to have public rallies on their campuses in an effort to show support for Wilk- inson's higher education budget
After the morning news conference, members of the Board of Stu- dent Body Presidents were present at the House Education Committee to hear the status of House Bill 60.
HB 60, sponsored by Rep. Ernesto Scorsone, D-Lexington, and
Rep. Ann Meagher Northup, R- Louisville, is an amendment to Ken- tucky Revised Statue 164.010 relat- ing to the membership of the Council
on Higher Education. Under the proposed legislation,
student body presidents would elect three nominees for student membership and submit them to the governor. It would also require election and appointments to be completed by certain dates.
The Education Committee passed the bill favorably and HB 60 was sent to the House rules committee.
Today HB 60 will be on the calen- dar for its third reading.
Under the current law, each of the eight presidents recommend a name to the governor. The governor consid- ers one of the names, but he is not mandated to choose one of the names to be appointed to the council.
The current student member on the Council is Jim Hill, a law student from the University of Kentucky.

inside his country, and he hasn't lost touch with what is going on in the rest of the world.
He has firm views on what is going on in countries like Russia, East Ger- many and his native country, but he said he never would have thought that so much communist downfall and change would happen in his lifetime.
"Shame on me. Shame on me for not knowing about these changes. I certainly didn'texpectthem when they happened," he said.
Sebor said the downfall of communism, and the change to free demo- cratic systems of government, wasn't to be expected because people in those countries got used to doing whatever the government told them to.
"The people got used to communism because many of them had never even heard of freedom," he said.
He sees the changes in Europe as positive, but said it is important not to rush changes. He knows what can happen when change is thrust upon a country without moderation.
"Mentally, it is understandable, but don't force us loo much. They mustn't step on the peddle too fast," he said. He said that change at too rapid a pace would cause tension and a bloody revolution.
Sebor said much of the change is due to the leadership of Mikhail Gor- bachev, and he said the Soviet leader has done what he can in hopes of saving the communist party.
"I believe that Gorbachev is a very clever man," Sebor said. "He will never accept the total destruction of communism. He believes in its principles. He believes in purifying communism. He is admitting communism has failed.
"You have to understand. Com- munism is their idealism, just as we view democracy or religion."
Sebor said he knows, from experience, that the communist party is strongest when it is under fin;, and it has an uncanny ability to regroup and fight back into power.
"Communists are masters of op- position, but when they got the power they have always failed," he added.
The biggest mistake the govern- ments could do is to get rid of communism. Thenyouwould have under-
ground communism," Sebor said. On the recent developments in East
Germany with the destruction of the Berlin Wall, Sebor is happy but re- served about the realistic expectations of the people of that country.
It was a mere symbolic stepahead. It was a stimulus. They realized that they didn't live in freedom. It was good for them mentally," he said.
"I think they are finally going free. There will be a tot less refugees, because they know they can go home," he said. Things are most definitely going very fast"
Sebor gave an example of just what it means to have to live in suppression.
He told the story of a former student and what he thought freedom was. The answer he heard would indi- cate what many students in this country would never think about
Real freedom. "My weekend will be mine," the
studentasked."Heioldmethis. 'If you would give me the guarantee today, it is Tuesday, that I will have the weekend to myself to do what I want—that I may have the weekend to myself, free of work, then sir, I will be happy.'

if they're forced to be there, their input is not as good," Collins said. "I don't think it's that drastic for one week. Something more drastic would be closing the bathroom for vandalism."
Sandra Fee, area coordinator for Combs, Beckham and McGregor halls, said the open house sanction was not much different from such measures approved by RHA.
"Under RHA regulations," Fee said, "if hall councils do not submit their votes on open house hours before the specified deadline at the beginning of each year, that hall can lose its open house privileges."
Fee said that since the open house sanction has been implemented in McGregor, only one floor has lost its open house privileges. The si x.th floor, which is the designated Chi Omega residence, lost its privileges for a week last November, Fee said.
"There was a breakdown in com- munication that has since been re- solved," she said.
Kathy Ponder, vice president of
McGregor Hall Council and RHA representative, said she did not agree with the rule but felt residents need to be more active in their hall councils.
"I don't feel that someone should be forced to do it," Ponder said. "But if they do want privileges, they need to participate."
Ponder said she considered it a privilege to work in hall government and that it was the only way for residents to effectively express their concerns. She pointed out however, that she saw no support among McGregor residents for the sanctions.
"I haven't heard anything good about this," Ponder said.
Suzanne Morrison was elected as 6th floor representative in the after- math of the open house revocation.
"Personally, I think the rule is an injustice to the residents," Morrison said. "Council needs to adopt more positive incentives. It became a problem on our floor when we didn't have a rep in mid-November."
Morrison, who now serves as hall council treasurer, also said she saw nothing positive in the sanction.
"It's only had negative effects since they took this action," Morrison said.
"It did get us there but it doesn't better the relations at all. Everyone on the floor is angry. It doesn't took good on hall council at all."
Kristen Kelly took over this semester as sixth floor representative when Morrison ascended to higher office.
According to Kelly, die action taken against her floor was the result of misunderstanding the rules, but a "misunderstanding that never should have been."
Kelly said that her floor was not aware that they were required to send a representative to the meetings.
"We were never made aware," she said. "We should have been telepathic, I suppose. They didn't even have a name for a rep from our floor. How can you revoke a privilege for someone who has never been represented?"
Kelly also said that steps needed to be taken to insure participation but she agreed with Morrison and Ponder that they should be incentive rather than punishment-oriented.
"I feel like something needed to be done, but something more positive," Kelly said. The next time it comes up, I'm voting against it"

Teamwork produces a string of mysteries
Drs. Hal Blythe and Charlie Sweet have collaborated on a' number of short stories, mystery and detective novels, and magazine articles. Sweet, at left, budgets his time for teaching and writing. Above and below, Blythe attempts to pass on some of his knowledge about creative writing In the classroom.

Murder Inc., a repertory drama group from Lexington, performed a one-night show for a convention of the Kentucky Bankers. The plot involved a mystery at the mythical Acedia College involving some allegations of the basketball coach paying his players.
The plot of the drama was the brain child of Charles Sweet and Hal Blythe, two English teachers here at the university. This convention was being held a short time before the allegations against the University of Kentucky had surfaced.
Little did the two know that a very special banker was in the audience, former Kentucky basketball coach Joe B. Hall. According to the pair. Hall went right along in the production, playing a radio announcer.
Sweet and Blythe have been writing together for more than IS years. They have done a great deal of that writing over lunch at McDonald's, in their own booth with a unique plaque com- memorating their many hours of writing in the restaurant.
"We have a goal in everday of our life to write at least 500 publishable words," said Blythe. They spend at least two hours writing together everyday.
In addition to a great deal of writing, the two have at least SO students a semester in their freshman English courses. In past semesters, they have also taught creative writing courses.
"A carpenter can always work, a writer can't," Sweet said. "A writer is more disci- plined."
They have been published in Writer's Digest for the past four years, and the current issue carries an article they wrote about narrative methods. They contribute an article regularly on fiction writing to Byline magazine and send out dozens of short stories and novellas to mystery magazines such as Mike Shayne mystery magazine.
When asked about their favorite authors, Blythe preferred Faulkner and Sweet liked Hem-
ingway. They both said these authors have had an impact on how they develop characters in their own writing.
They find inspiration for their writing in newspapers, television and just plain life. But, one of their richest resources for ideas are their colleagues at the university.
They once concocted a plot in one of their stories in which they killed their departmental chairman.
"If something is bugging us, it could come out in a plot," Blythe said.
Sweet and Blythe have written for years under the pen names of Hal Charles and Brett Halliday, although some magazine articles have carried their true identities in the byline.
Anxious to see their own names in print, the writers' secretaries asked to have their names included in an upcoming story — in a story published in the Mike Shayne mystery magazine, they had the same name as two streetwalk- ers.
Although the pair have devoted a great deal of their time to short stories, their emphasis over the last three years has been on novel writing. They have hired an agent, Barbara Bova, to gain exposure.
The two have been frustrated by editors and publishers in gaining publication and circula- tion for their novels.
"Editors have become business people," Blythe said. He and Sweet said editors do not look for long-lasting quality but for the immediate profit. They thought past literary giants would have a hard time getting published today.
The mystery magazine market has suffered in recent years, making the two writers expand into other areas.
The two feel that they need a best seller to have success in novel writing. A best seller, they said, would give them at least three more big money projects from a publisher.
Sweet said one way to be a successful writer is to "just change your name to Sidney Sheldon."
The belief in a big blockbuster is best explained in Sweet's motto, "Big books bring big bucks."
Professor expresses emotions with poetry By Alyssa Noland Staff writer
At first glance, there is nothing special about the office of Dr. Dorothy Sutlon. The walls are the standard off-white color, the carpet is brown.
B ut then you notice the large window which looks out onto Kit Carson Drive—a window covers the whole back wall, from floor to ceiling. You can see everything from that window.
Sutlon is like that window. She, too, ap- pears to be looking out over the people, places and things around her.
"I use the things around me," she said. "The things that happen to family, friends, students."
These "things" supply her with ideas. Sutlon, an associate professor in the Eng-
lish department, teaches creative writing courses which enable her to leach others about her passion — poetry.
Many of her poems have been published in magazines, textbooks and anthologies, which may explain why she doesn't dwell on the fact that her manuscripts were sent back to her.
"You can't give up," she said. As Sutton began to talk about herself and
her poetry, her eyes seemed to glow. The smile which always seemed to be about her lips appeared to do the impossible—it grew even wider.
Sutton wrote her first poem, a simple rhyming verse, when she was 8 y
