Old versus new. New versus
old. Which is better?

The issue is like two coins.
One coin is shiny, brand new and
holds a promising future. The oth-
er coin is dull from numerous
nicks and scratches caused by
years of use. One coin is waiting
to be used and the other is waiting
to be retired.

People are like these coins.
Those who are older, worn from
past experiences, share memories
with those who are younger. Al-
though accounts of the “good ol’
days” vary from person to person,
they usually have one thing in
common —> they occur when
we’re young and learning from
those who are older and more ex-

  
 
 
 
  
  
    
  
  
 
 
  
   
   
   
    
 
  
 
   
   

We can learn from the old
coins. Once or twice in a lifetime
most people end up repeating the
phrase, “If I only knew then what
I know now.” Maybe if people
learn from the mistakes and exper-
iences of others. we. will find our-
selves repeating this phrase less
often.

At the Kernel, I often see older
writers, with a sudden wave of
nostalgia, look back through past
issues, and reminisce about the
“good ol’ days.” Then I see
younger writers flipping through
the same issues, wishing that they
could have been there, trying to
regain something that they were
never able to experience.

Something is wrong here, The
young should learn from the old,

but not get caught up in their
past. The young should concen-
trate on making memories.

The “good ol’ days" provide
fond memories for us, but we
can’t forget about the memories
we have yet to make. I want to
concentrate on the present and
create memories of my own. This
way I will have stories to tell, not
stories about someone else‘s
memories.

This summer a brand new Ken-

tucky Kemel will be offered, com—
plete with a young staff, exciting
ideas and a new look. Each issue
will contain an in-depth feature,
news, sports. arts and an editorial
page.
Even though the Kentucky Ker-
nel has a new look, the old Kernel
won’t be dead. Instead, it will
simply be retired, like the old
coin, and kept in close reach for
quick reference to learn from past
experiences.

Memories from other issues
won’t be forgotten, but we‘ll
strive to make our own, getting a
few nicks and scratches in the pro—
cess, instead of wallowing in the
past.

Wethington among 77 candidates

By TONJA WILT
Editor in Chief

The recent announcement of the
Presidential Search Committee
that 91 applications and nomina-
tions were submitted for consider-
ation has provoked a variety of re-
sponses from the UK community.

The initial number of submis-
sions are less than half of the 200
received by the search committee
that selected the ninth UK Presi-
dent, David Roselle, three years
ago. However, this number has
decreased to 77, after 14 people re-
moved their names. The pool of
candidates may be reduced further
since all of the nominees have not
indicated their interest.

The controversy surrounding

Roselle’s resignation and Gov.
Wallace Wilkinson is cited for the
decrease.

“I think that with some people
their enthusiasm has been dam-
pened a bit by the governor's in-
terference in the procedures and the
fact that Roselle left evidently un-
der some pressure.” said Robert
Guthrie, a member of the search
committee that selected Roselle.

“They wonder what the political
climate is if they take a job here.”

Three years ago the faculty were
responsible for many of the nomi-
nations given to the Presidential
Selection Committee. This year’s
decrease may be a result of facul~
ty's lack of interest, Guthrie said.

“l think the faculty are less en-
thusiastic about that because they

thought they had a good president
and they feel politics has driven
him off,” Guthrie said. “They
don’t want to go through that
again.”

Another concern by some is the
influence Charles Wethington has
by being interim president.

“I think a lot of people see it
that it has already been decided.
People don’t want to have any-
thing to do with the whole mess,"
said Student Government Associa-
tion President Sean Lohman.
They would be “putting their own
jobs at risk for a position that al-
ready seems to be filled.”

Wethington disagrees.

“I think it can work either way.

Follett awarded UK bookstoreiease

The lease for the University Bookstore was awarded again to
Follett College Stores Corporation of Elmhurst, Ill.

The three-year contract states that Follett must pay $1,962,000
for the exclusive right to sell textbooks and related material on
Main Campus beginning July 1, 1990.

The agreement was approved at the May 1 Board of Trustees
meeting.

$0,000 donated to Department of Veterinary Science

A nationally acclaimed equine insurance company donated
$30,000 to UK’s Department of Veterinary Science, May 31.

Lord Kimball, a senior member of the Council on Lloyd’s of
London. presented Albert Clay, chairman of the UK Equine Re—
search Foundation, with the check in the lobby of the Maxwell
H.E. Gluck Equine Research Center.

“There is a very specific reason why the University of Ken-
tucky is happy to be associated with the Llyod‘s of London,” said
Chancellor for the Lexington Campus Robert Hemenway.
“Llyod’s of London represents quality. It represents excellence. It
represents an international reputation for being the best. Those
are all the goals that we aspire to at the University of Kentucky
and that we particarly aspire to in this center."

The donation was the second installment of a three-year grant to
the Department of Veterinary Science for the Llyod‘s Fellowship
in Equine Pathology.

Academic ombudsman named

A college of nursing professor was named the new UK academ-
ic ombudsman.

Gretchen LaGodna will begin her one~year term on July 1, suc-
ceeding Daniel Fulks, the associate dean of the College of Busi-
ness and Economics.

“1 think that this position is an interesting one," LaGodna
said. “I really welcomed the opportunity to get my name nom-

cilitated a ‘good neighbor policy‘ in many, many ways.“

UK interim President Charles Wethington also was present and

Summer Senate allocates monev for actor‘s speech

The interim Senate of the Student Government Association met
for the first time Tuesday night in the Patterson Office Tower.

President Sean Lohman said that he would not bring to the
Board of Trustees a motion to review an increase in the student
fee any sooner than the fall semester.

The Senate allotted $3,700 to co-sponsor a speech by Avery
Brooks, the actor who played “Hawk" in the television series
Spenser: For Hire. Brooks, who was the first black man to earn a
masters degree in fine ans from Rutgers University, is a tenured
theater professor at Rutgers.

The speech will occur Oct. 11, and is also being sponsored by
the Office of Minority Affairs.

Campus Agenda
ideas proposed

By GREGORY A. HALL
Executive Editor

The Lexington Campus Agen-
da's 50 initiatives have been pre-
sented to Chancellor for the Lex-
ington Campus Robert
Hemenway and are being evaluated
by University officials for feasi—
bility.

Suggestions from 10 subcom-
mittees ranged from the imple-
mentation of ethics in UK class-
rooms to a reevaluation of
employee benefits.

The proposals are being given
to the Faculty Senate Council, the
Student Government Association,
academic deans and budget offi-
cers.

In the fall, the subcommittees
will reconvene to modify propo-
sals and set “measures of
progress"

“We're basically looking at
feedback on the cost of many of
these ideas." Hemenway said.
“Hopefully by Oct. 15, we will be
ready to announce the final pack-
age to the rest of the campus and
move ahead. I feel like we have a
good set of proposals that will not
get bogged down In red tape."

The projects will be funded
from one percent of the Lexington
Campus’ base budget

The committee to articulate val-
ues recommended that ethics be
introduced into the curriculum in
the same manner as the writing re—
quirement

It also recommended that a creed
be written to summarize the “set
of ethical principles” to which the
entire Lexington Campus sub—
scribes.

Hemenway said that similar
creeds have been created at the
University of North Carolina and
the University of South Carolina.

Part of USC's Creed requires all
university members to “practice
personal and academic integrity,
respect the dignity of all persons

and discourage bigotry."

The committee to increase re-
search recommended taking meas-
ures which would place the UK li-
brary system in the top one-third
of research university libraries in
the US. Cun'ently, UK is in the
bottom one-third.

Hemenway also said the com-
mittee recommended that an exter-

nal company be employed to aug-
ment UK’s project review
process.

The task force to improve teach—
ing asked for a study to assess
needs for instructional equipment.
Hemenway described “electronic
classrooms," containing a com-
puter, video equipment and a big-
screen television.

The committee also recom-
mended summer grants for faculty
who create or upgrade existing
courses. And it recommended that
a teaching exposition be held to
promote the new teaching tech-
niques developed by UK faculty.

An initiative to increase the
number of UK graduates earning
doctrates, especially in the fields
of science, mathematics and engi-

neering came from the committee.

to alleviate the labor shortage.

Increased opportunities for study
abroad programs were called for by
the committee on intemationaliz-
ing the campus.

The committee on developing
human resources called for a ree-
valuation of employee benefits to
make them compatible with
benchmark institutions.

The committee to conserve fis-
cal resources recommended reward-
ing efficiency, for example cutting
costs. Also recommended were a
flexible work schedule and having
some employees work only during
the school year.

The committee to improve
physical environment emphasized
pedestrian safety. “The committee
felt that we need to do more to en-
sure safety," Hemenway said.

Bradford on the list for CHE position

By BRIAN JENT
Associate Editor

UK law student Christy Brad-
ford is one of three people nomi-
nated by the Board of Student
Body Presidents to represent Ken~
lucky students next year on the
state Council on Higher Educa
tion.

The vacancy opened when for-
mer CHE student representative
Jim Hill graduated in May.

“I nominated Christy Bradford,”
said UK Student Government As-
sociation President Sean Lohman,
“She was just outstanding, in my
mind, as someone that could keep
a level head on the Council on
Higher Education and someone
who would work with students.”

Sheridan Martin, of Chase Law
School in Nonhem Kentucky, and
Hunt BOyd, a graduate from Mur-
ray State University, were the
other nominees.

House Bill 60, passed during
the recent legislative session. pro-
vides that Gov. Wallace Wilkin-
son will appoint one of the nomi-
nees no later than July 1.

“We could technically be with—
out a student representative till
July,” Lohman said. “Hopefully.

UK players show heart at Special Olympics

By LISA COLLINS
Contributing Writer

Sometimes athletes get tired of
signing autographs, but when it
is for the athletes in the Special
Olympics, UK basketball senior
Reggie Hanson doesn't mind ~-
he revelles in it.

Following an awards ceremony
Saturday night, a dance was held
in the Seaton Center, and Hanson
was hounded by autograph seek-
ers, but he smiled throughout the
stampede.

“lt's nice to know I can give a
little something back to the par—
ticipants who’ve worked so hard
to get here,” Hanson said as he
signed his name on an athlete’s
T-shirt.

Hanson was just one UK ath~
lete that helped 2,000 competitors
feel welcome during the Kentucky
Special Olympics at UK last
weekend

Participants saw current and
former Wildcat players and coach-
es at the opening ceremonies Fri-
rhy night at Shively Field.

UK football players Randy
Holleran, Steve Phillips, Larry
Jackson, Matt Branum, Brent
Claiborne and Kevin Disotelle es-
corted teams from Kentucky dur-
ing the Parade of Athletes.

The UK players volunteered to
work with the participants and to
help maintain organization prior
to the parade. Holleran, a senior
linebacker, said that he enjoyed
helping with the festivities.

UK ottensive coordinator Tommy Bowdon aids Willie Fister in the
lighting of the Special OIympic torch at UK.

“It's great doing a special thing
for special people," Holleran said.
“I think this comes from the bot-
tom of everyone's heart. It's just a
little something we. all like to do
to make the participants feel
good."

Tommy Bowdon, the offensive
coordinator for the UK football
team, assisted athlete Willie Fis-
ter, 19, of Lafayette High School
with the Olympic torch lighting.

Former UK basketball players
Kenny “Sky" Walker and Rex
Chapman along with senior for-
ward Hanson assistcd Germar
Thomas of Ashland Elementary
School with reciting the “Ath-
lete's Oath.”

"The experience I gained by
working with them was price-

less,“ Hanson said. “The kids real-
ly need someone to look up to.
and it was quite fulfilling to know
I could be an inspiration to the
young and older athletes alike.”

UK basketball coach Rick Piti-
no spoke to an enthusiastic crowd
of arm with words of encouage-
ment and good sportsmanship.

Cynthia Humphrey, who placed
first in the 200- and 4(X)-meter
dash, said the best part of the
weekend was the opening ceremo-

UK observes anniversary of Beijing Massacre

By MYRNA MARCA
Contrmuting Writer

About 100 people protested the

' Tiananmen Square Massacre of a

year ago in a rally Monday at the
Student Center Free Speech Area.

The rally commemorated the
massacre of several thousand Chi-
nese pro-democracy students by
the People's Liberation Amy of
the Communist government last
June.

US. Rep. Larry Hopkins, D-
Ky., denounced the Bush adminis-
tration’s attempt to give China
most favored trading status and its
lack of support for Chinese stu-
dents studying in the United
States.

Hopkins spoke of his role in
passing the bill that stopped the
plan and offered support for Chi-
nese students trying to remain in
the United States.

“I am working to make sure
that UK Chinese Students can
stay in the US. for as long as
they need to.” Hopkins said.

zational leader of the rally, said he
hoped this would remind everyone
of the nightmare in Tiananmen
Square and of the students' hope
for democracy.

Chen, president of the UK Chi-
nese Student and Scholars Solidar-
ity Union, expressed his outrage
and sadness.

"I‘he tragic event marked one of
the darkest moments in the histo-
ry of China. We Chinese stu-

dents and scholars at the Universi-
ty of Kentucky have shown our
outrage by protesting openly the
bloody massacre of our country~
men,” Chen said. “We all have
had many different anniversaries.
However, today's anniversary is a
day of honor, hatred and disgrace."
Fan Hu, a physics graduate stu-
dent, commented after the rally
that episodes such as Tiananmen
Square still occur in China.

“It's just that Tiananmen Square
is unique because it happened in
the capital and it received world
publicity." Hu said.

When Hu heard about Tianan-
men Square, he recalled his disbe-
lief over the massacre.

“I cried and for days I couldn‘t
sleep.” Hu said. “I couldn't imag-
ine it could happen. I was in
shock. Our people will never for-
get.”

Many audience members cried
and held hands, listening to the
seven speakers on the brutality of
the Chinese government.

Near the end of the rally, Bill
Moore, campus minister at the
UK Wesley Foundation, encour-
aged Americans to support the
Chinese fight for democracy and
led the united group of Americans
and Chinese in the song “We
Shall Overcome.”

Virgina Place makes life
easier for single parents

By ALLEN D. GREER
Senior Staff Writer

After giving birth to her daugh-
ter in the summer of 1987, Kath-
leen Leonard, a single parent,
faced the tough prospect of raising
a child and finishing school at the
same time.

Leonard, now a math education
senior at UK, moved in with her
parents and worked at three part-
time jobs to pay for day care
while she attended classes part—
time at LCC.

“l was working and trying to
go to school at the same time and
it just didn’t pay off, ” said Leo-
nard, who started back to school
just two weeks after giving birth
to her daughter. “With a $5-an-
hour job, I had to pay something
like $2-an-hour for child care. It
was costing me anywhere from
$55 to $75 a week.”

Leonard, 24, wanted to attend
UK full-time but had to figure
how to pay for child care. She
checked with UK Adult Services
to see if she could qualify for fi-
nancial assistance. They told her
about Virginia Place, a local
housing program for single par-
ents who are attending school full-
time.

The housing program, located
near campus at 381 Virginia Ave.,
provides residents with educational
programs on parenting and nutri-
tion, an on-site day care facility,
and a small health clinic. There
are 15 two-bedroom apartments.

Because all of the residents qual-
ify for Section 8 federal housing
assistance, most pay little or no
rent, according to program director
Helen Burg.

“The program is designed to
help single parents become self-
sufficient," Burg said. “It’s very
difficult to go to school and bring
up children at the same time. We
have the staff to give support and
whatever else is needed.

“We are also providing an edu-
cation by helping (single parents)
to improve their parenting skills
and live full family lives. Some
of them have missed that on the
way."

The private non-profit facility
provides resident services in con-
junction with the Lexington-
Fayette Urban County Govem-
merit, UK, and United Way of the
Bluegrass.

UK is a major contributor of
services at Virginia Place, Burg
said. Courses in parenting skills.
nutrition, budgeting and career
guidance are provided by the UK
Colleges of Home Economics and
Education; a nurse practitioner is
supplied to the program's health

clinic by the UK College of Nurs-
ing; and dental care is supplied by
volunteers from the College of
Dentistry.

Additionally, the day care pro-
gram at Virginia Place is super-
vised by UK’s Early Childhood
Development Lab, a component
of the College of Home Econom-
rcs.

The apartments are owned by
the city of Lexington, and city
Housing Commissioner Ken
Kems is the chairman of Virginia
Place’s board of directors. The
United Way of the Bluegrass sup-
plies about 17 percent of the pro-
grams operating budget, Burg
said.

To be eligible for the program,
a single parent must:

- Be a resident of Fayette county
for at least six months

- Be a single parent with sole
custody of young children

a

WVCWSM!

Patti Kimball, a junior from Ver-
sailles, helps with the Chil-
dren's Summer Program here
at UK.

 

- Have no more than two chil-
dren ages 2 through 7 (an only
child or the younger of the two
children must be 2 to 4 years old.)

- Be at least 18 years of age

- Be eligible for a Section 8
Housing Certificate

- Have a high school diploma or
a GED. and attend an area col-
lege, university or vocational
school full time; or have finished
the tenth grade and be willing to
pursue a GED. and higher educa-
tion.

Leonard met all of the eligibili-
ty requirements and moved into
Virginia Place last August.

“1 really like it here," Leonard
said. “It's a lot of pressure off my
back, not having to worry about
child care and trying to balance
going to school and work. That's
like having three full-time jobs.”

Leonard said that the on-site day
care was one of the primary rea-
sons why she wanted to live at

Virginia Place. The day care facil-
ity provides developmental activi-
ties for the resident’s 2- to 4-year-
old children five days a week from
8 am. to 5 pm.

“The teachers here are all certi-
fied in either family studies or
child development,” Leonard said.
“And because it’s so close to cam-
pus, it’s a lot easier to get to
school and you don’t have that ex-
tra worry in your mind. I can pop
in anytime to see (my daughter)”

Because Leonard qualifies for a
government program called Spe-
cial Reimbursement Educational
Allotment (SREA), she does not
have to pay for her child care at
Virginia Place. Full-time day care
at the facility costs $174 per child
per month.

Burg said that single parents
who use the day care but don’t
qualify for SREA benefits are
charged for the service according
to their income and ability to
WY-

Although raising a child while
attending school is still a heavy
responsibility, Leonard said that it
would have been much more diffi-
cult without the assistance she
has received at Virginia Place.

“(Raising a child) is pretty hard
because you have to schedule your
classes at the time you can pro-
vide day care," Leonard said.
“Then in the evenings, when
