Bookstore lease to generate scholarship funds

By STEPHANIE WALLNER
Editor'infhief

Generally. students do not pay much
attention to the Board of Trustees But
results of its last meeting should turn a
few heads

Nearly 5400.000 in student scholarships
will be available annually. thanks to the
leasing of the University Bookstore to
Follett College Stores Corp. of Elm-
hurst. Ill.

The Board's finance committee gave
the go ahead in May to solicit proposals
for the lease of the University Bookstore
According to Jack C. Blanton. vice chan-
cellor for administration. local business-
man Wallace Wilkirson and Follett Corp.
made orginal bids of $3 million.

Both parties were asked to amend
their proposals which resulted in an in-
crease to $3.15 million for Wallace and
$3.6 million for Follett.

Other aspects of the lease include the
purchase of existing inventory by the
contractor and a 90-day cancellation
clause by the University. The lease also
says the University will provide space.
heat. water. light. electricity and other
utilities.

Annual fixed expenses to be paid out of
the 3600.000 rental payments will be
around $320,000. Blanton said. “It‘s
mostly the debt service. the principal
payments on the new building. “

Also. the estimated $1 million income

from the purchase of inventory will be
invested. "We're hoping to get at least 10
percent interest on that." Blanton said.

Between the interest on the inventory
investment and the money left over after
fixed costs are paid. Blanton estimates
$380000 to 3400.000 will be available for
scholarships He also said all remaining
funds will be ‘gomg exclusn‘ely for stu
dents."

Although the lease is not finalized. and
Wilkinson hopes to contest the Board‘s
decrsmn. Blanton is gomg ahead with ar-
rangements. “l have authorization from
the Board of Trustees to sign a lease
with Follett It‘orp. 1."

Wilkinson‘s request to submit a third
bid was denied by the finance commit~
tee. He claimed that information con-
cerning bookstores in the community col-
lege system was witheld from him while
Follett had figured those expenses into
the second bid.

“They «finance committee did not feel
that argument bore any weight at all."
Blanton said. He also said the stores in
the community college system “have
nothing to do or say with this bookstore.“

Another bookstore that has an interest
in the leasing deal is Kennedy Book
Store.

John C. Butcher. manager of Kenne~
dy's said. “It's just different people run-
ning the same advantages that the L'ni~
versity‘s always had over there."

Butcher said advantages gained by the
University owned store included exclue

Dulworth plans new tasks
as council representative

By ELIZABETH (‘ARAS
Managing Editor

Last week. Jack Dulworth became the
first student to serve two consecutive
terms on the Council on Higher Educa—
tion. He also is the first student from UK
to serve on the council.

Dulworth. a finance senior. was ap-
pointed by Gov. Martha Layne Collins.
The governor appoints a student from
nominations received from the student
body presidents of the eight state univer-
sities.

 

JACK DI 7| WORTH

Controversy among state student body
presidents resulted last April when Dul-
worth was nominated for a second term
by University of Louisville president
Prank Jemley

David Bradford. 1983414 L'K Student
Government Association president and
Murray student body president Don
Thomas both viewed the positions as a
rotating job and did not support Dul-
worth‘s nomination.

“The position is only open for a one-
year period. To add continuity to the stu
dent presidents. that should be a position
that should be rotated." said Thomas. in
an earlier interview.

“There never has been a student that
has been reappointed to the Council on

lligher-Educatim.f' said Bradford. also”

in an earlier interview. "The governor
«John Y. Brown. Jr» felt very strongly
that it was a one-year term."

Harry Snyder. executive director of the
council. said that Angela Ford. a law stu-
dent at Northem‘s Chase Law School had
actually served a year and a half before
Brown appointed Dulworth in November
1983. Last year. Dulworth was nominated
to the Council by 198203 UKSGA presi-
dent Jim Dinkle.

Dulworth cited his short term as “a
special circumstance."

"I believe the governor saw that it
would be futile to appoint a new student
because I had just gotten into the posi-
tion ~ I had just learned the position."
he said.

He said he was very pleased to be ap-
pointed for his second term. “I‘m very
honored that the governor had confi-
dence in my work.“

Dulworth said he is a qualified rep
resentative and that his experience with
the council will be an advantage. “My
experience puts me a step ahead of any
student that could have been appointed
to the council. I feel I have a grasp of the
issues and I know the ropes. I have an
excellent rapport with the council mem-
bers. the council staff and the university
administrators."

Snyder agreed saying. “He's certainly
better off than would a brand new person
be. The orientation period is eliminated. "

Dulworth said he has many plans for
his term this year “My major goal on
the council is to protect student's rights
and make sure that we have a voice "

Dulworth plans to travel to all state
univerSities. speaking to campus leaders
"I want to make sure that I'm represent-
ing all the student's views . not just the
students at the L'niverSity of Kentucky "

He also will be trying to combat rising
costs not only in tuition. but with other
fees as well. “I want to play an active
role in making sure that all student costs
do not get too exorbitant.“

Dulworth said he will be seeking pri-
vate money for the Fund for Academic
Excellence. a program which will pro-
vide scholarships to students without re-

.Eard to financial need.

stve sale of some materials printed on
campus that "they were allowed to sell
and we were not. "

By leasing the store to an outside com-
pany. Butcher said Kennedy‘s will be on
fair ground. “We are going to see that
we are treated equally." he said

"We felt like the L'niverSity should
have kept it themselves They're passing
up their obligation to the students."
Butcher said.“We feel like we have
earned this reputation by domg a better
job ”

Also at the meeting. the Board ap-
proved the 1984-85 operating budget of

$381.4 million. an increase of 2.6 percent
from last year's.

President Otis A Singletary Cited fac-
ulty salaries as the “central problem of
the University of Kentucky. ”

"It does inhibit your ability to attract
people.“ he said "Our average salary
has not kept pace with other benchmark
institutions

"I think we are gmng to have an even
more difficult time attracting and
keeping quality faculty " Singletary said
that by 1986 faculty salaries may drop as
low as $2.300 below the median of our
benchmark institutions.

The Student Government Association's
“free phone" has prompted a long dis-
tance bill of $174.98. for calls as far away
as Nigeria.

According to Tim Freudenberg. SGA
pi’uident. someone found a way to by-
pass the restrictive phone line and make
long distance calls from the phone at the
Student Center information desk.

For the past year. SGA has maintained
three free phones for students to make
local or campis calls. Other phones are
located in the SGA office and in the Stu
dent Organizations Center,

THE KENTUCKY KENNEL, Thundav. June 21, 1984 - 3

Calls to Nigeria cause cancellation of phone

 

“If we can ’t get a phone programmed not to accept
long distance calls then I don ’t see how we can keep
those phones out there with that kind of risk. ”

Freudenberg is currently trying to
work out a solution to the problem. “I‘ve
physically taken the phone out from the
information desk until the problem is
solved."hesaid.

The phones will remain in the other lo
cations unless long distance calls can au-
tomatically be stopped. Freudenberg
said. “If we can't get a phone pro-

Area doctors donate time
to local Boy Scout troops

By PAUL JOSEPH
Reporter

Having been an Eagle Scout himself.
Dr. Mark Pascuzzi of the University
Medical Center. said he still lives the
Boy Scout Oath.

Together with Dr. Marc Holbrook. also
from the University Medical Center. Pas-
cuni gave free physical exams to 69
boys and 11 adults going on a July hiking
and camping trip to The Philmont Scout
Ranch in New Mexico.

“I still know that whole trustworthy.
cheerful speech. If you live the Boy Scout
Oath you do things like this." Pascuzzi
said.

In a small presentation last week in
the lobby of the Medical Center. Tavner
Dunlap. Scoutmaster for Troop 363 in
Lexington. praented Pascuzzi with a pa-
perweight to thank him for his time ana
effort. Dr. Holbrook received a paper-
weight also. although he was unable to
attend the presentation. Holbrook works
in the UK Emergency Medicine Depart-
ment. and like Pascuzzi. was an Eagle
Scout — the highest Boy Scout honor.

Pascuzzi is in his fourth year of resi-
dency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at
UK, and will go into practice next year.
“I'll be pretty far removed from giving
physical exams to 15 and lt‘ryearold
boys then." he said with a smile.

“I was an Eagle Scout in Pennsylva-

nia. It was a good experience.“ Pascuzzi
said. “It teaches you a lot of discipline
and good values. I’ll probably be active
in scouting when I get out of school."

Pascuzzi said he felt that all doctors
should do this kind of thing. “You owe it
to the community. I think."

It is not unusual for residents to give
their time. Pascuzzi said. “A lot of resi-
dents do like to give their time."

Dunlap said the boys have to be at
least 14 years old to go on the trip. They
must be in good physical condition. and
must be interested enough to want to
hike. “You start at 5.000 feet and go to
11,000 feet with a full backpack."

Dunlap said that every other year the
Bluegrass Council sends a contingent of
boys to New Mexico. The boys get the
money for the trip from church sponsors
or from their families. Dunlap said
money isn‘t a factor in keeping the boys
from going but many do not want to
leave their homes in the summer season.

Dunlap will be in charge of Crew 6 for
the trip. which will not include any
scouts from his troop. He said the 11 or
so in his group are people from all over
Lexington.

Two or more cities are often combined
into one crew when there aren‘t enough
boys interested from one city, Dunlap
said. Crews going to The Philth Scout
Ranch will be from Richmond. Middles-
bore and other cities in Kentucky.

grammed not to accept long distance
calls then I don't see how we can keep
those phones out there with that kind of
risk."

Freudenberg said he will not reinstall
the phone at the information desk until
he receives verification from the commu-
nication department that "this type of
‘thievery' in a sense. can‘t happen any-
more — that it‘s not physically possible.
Otherwise I don't know if we can contin-
uetoofferthefree phoneasaservice.

“We just can’t subsidize a couple of
student's long distance bills. It‘s not fair
to the rest of is who are paying our stu-
dent activities fees and who expect serv-
ices from SGA." Freudenberg said.

When the bill was enacted for this
phone. the original work order requested
that a resricted line be put in so this type
of problem would not occur.

SGA is trying to avoid paying for these
calls since the phone line was supposed
to be a restrictive one. Even though the
funds from the SGA's account might
have already been transferred for pay-
ment. fieudenberg is pursuing actions

that would prevent the SGA office from
having to pay for these calls.

Last Tuesday he was notified that the
SGA account will be credited until a
search to find out who made the calls is
completed.

Robert E. Bolling. manager for billing
and inventory of Communications Serv-
ices. said that before the new system
was installed. students could gain access
to the operator by dailing off campus and
then zero. The operator would then place
their call.

SGA's phones were restrictive by defi—
nition but a few people “found a loophole
to the system and took advantage of it."
Bolling said. “The University is techni-
cally responsible.

"Now. because of the changes we can
make, the new system can eliminate ac-
cess to the (off campus) operators.“ Bol-
ling said that SGA will have to pay for
the calls but they would help SGA in
every way poaible to find the people re-
sponsible for placing the calls.

”The people in communication serv-
ices have been very cooperative." Freud-
enberg said.

According to Freudenberg. those re-
sponsible might have thought the calls
would get lost in the system because of
its size. but SGA receives a computer
print-out of all calls made from SGA
phones.

Business college receives $1 million

By JOHN JURY
Reporter

Thanks to a $250,000 plate hm WI]-
liam l. duPont. the College of m
and Economics has received a 81 million
endowment.

The Board of Trustees announced the
establishment of the endowed chair in
Banking and Financial Services. at its
Tuesday meeting.

Funds for the endowment were spurred
by A. Steven Miles of the First National
Bank of Louisville. The contribution by
duPont to the UK Business Partnership
Foundation fulfilled the college's com~
mitment to raise 3900.000 to meet the ini-
tial pledge from the First National Bank
of Louisville.

The college has also received $25,000
toward the establishment of an endowed

chair in management information sys-
tems Kentucky Central Life Insurance
Co.. along with two other corporations.
have made the endowment possible.

"This is another significant step for-
ward in reaching our million-dollar goal
for this important endowed chair." said
business dean Richard W. first.

“The funds for this new chair and the
program that will surround it will help
improve the quality of our undergrad-
uate and MBA programs and help create
a pool of potential management train-
ees.“ Furst said.

An endowed chair allows the Universi-
ty to recruit nationally-recognized schol.
ars to improve existing academic and
non-academic programs. Income from
the endowment is med to fund both the
chairholder's salary and expenses for re-
search and support services.

Gary W. Plerce
Arts Editor

"Talley”..sFolly Offers subduedevening of entertainment

Lanford Wilson‘s “Talley's Folly.‘ the
second production of UK‘s summer rep
ertory season. has proven to be an enthu-
siastic challenge — for artists and audi-
ences alike.

Sandwiched between Harold Pinter‘s
“Old Times" and Oscar Wilde‘s "Impor~
tance of Being Earnest," this latest pro-
duction of Wilson‘s “no-holds-barred ro
mantic story“ can be both touching and
tiring.

Director Rick Ney has crafted a subtle
evening of romantic comedy from Wil»
son's delightful SCl‘Ipl. But despite nu-
merous engaging moments. the action is
more sentimental than passionate and
the actors more downtrodden than driv-
en.

Joe Ferrell, a member of the theater
department faculty. sheds his directorial
robes to play the colorful Matt Fried-

man. Ferrell is not the only UK drama
instructor who challenges himself with
acting roles, but is rather a part of the
department‘s continuing determination
to practice what it preaches.

Seeing teachers who “do” is partic-
ularly enjoyable to theater majors, and
the department turned out in force to
pack the Lab Theater in the Fine Arts
Building last Thursday for opening night.

Ferrell brings a refreshing honesty to
Matt's sensitive nature. but the affecta-
tions of his character detract from this.
In a script rich with subtext, Ferrell‘s
unstable dialect seems more of a distrac»
tion than a solid theatrical device. Al-
though Matt has plenty of depth, the por-
trayal lacks surface.

Vivian Snipes plays the fragile Sally
Talley with an appealing grace, fighting
herself and her world at the same time

as Matt pursues her about the small boa-
thouse where they once spent a romantic
evening. Sally is much more sharply de-
fined than Matt, introverted where he is
extroverted and patient where he is
eager.

The complete action of the show takes
place in the Talley boathouse. a set keen-
ly designed by Russell Jones. Amid the
clutter of the aging boathouse. Wilson's
characters sort through the rubble of
their own lives while looking for each
other.

The dialogue is witty and consistently
clever. giving the action a solid founda-
tion on which to develop. Wilson‘s char-
acters are both dynamic individuals. yet
both give themselves over to romance
only after much struggle.

Snipes and Ferrell offer striking coun-
terpoints to one another and Wilson's

story is an involving one. giving the pro-
duction the momentary magic of ro-
mance. We care for Sally and Matt, and
we want them to love each other.

But there is over 90 minutes of cat and
mouse before the pieces begin to fall into
place, and without an intermission.
Thursday night‘s audience also experi~
enced the momentary movement of rest-
lessness.

Overall. “Talley‘s Folly" is a pleasant
evening of quiet romance. subdued but
honest . unspectacular but enjoyable

“Talley’s Folly' will be performed to
night. tommorow Gild Saturday at 8:00
p.m. in the Lab Theater of the Fine Arts
Building.

Allegorical ‘Gremlins’ full of fuzzy terror and visual wit

Friends, are you tired of the array of
wholesome. antiseptic movies of recent
years? Do the cute ’n’ cuddly creatures
in Steven Spielberg and George Lucas
films bore you to tears? Would you like
some cinematic ambiguity in good/evil
confrontations?

Well folks, director Joe Dante has a
film for you.

“Gremlins" stars Hoyt Axton as inept
inventor Rand Peltzer, who, while in
Chinatown, buys a cute ‘n' cuddly Mog-
wai as a Christmas pet. This adorable
little creature, nicknamed Gismo, wins
the hearts of the Peltzer family and the
movie audience as well. This wholesome
atmosphere is further milked early on as
the tiny town in which these people live
is depicted as a peaceful, postcard, little
community.

The film‘s wit — including such alle
gorical images as a brokendown AMC
Gremlin — soon takes a very sardonic
turn. The fireworks really start when the

three rules of thumb for the care and
maintenance of the domestic gremlin are
violated.

Rule number one: don‘t get your grem-
lin wet. When exposed to water, gemlim
multiply faster than any animal since U’l
“Star Trek" tribble.

Rule number two: don‘t feed your atfl
rable gremlin after midnight. If you (b
it will build a disgusting, slimy cocoa

and change from a saccharine mammal
into a devlish bratty amphibian

Rule number three. dont expose them
to light

The dark humor, which is the real
treasure of “Gremlins." works well on
two levels. There are endless anti~“E.T.“
and anti-holiday images. as well as anti-
TV messages. Added to these is the sa‘
distic dismantling these pests inflict on

the town.

One of the best allegorical characters
is a ruthless local real estate baronness
named Mrs. Deagle (Polly Holiday of
“Alice"). who resembles Mrs. Gulch
from “The Wizard of 02." After she has
vowed to give the Peltzer dog a slow
death (again, lei like Mrs. Gulch and
Toto). we see the Gremlins get rid of
her. It is like watching those little
munchkins get even with the wicked
witch of the West after all these years.

The best part of “Gremlim” is scan-
ning the backgrounds for the myriad of
references to other movies and other
gags that give added meaning to this
show. Rarely has allisiveness been put
to better f orshadowing use.

KERNEL RATINGz7

“Gremlins" is playing at the Northparh
and Southparh cinemas. Rated PG for
occasionally graphic violence.

Springsteen and Reed LP’s sizzle with rrocking insight

Born in the L'. S. A.
Springsteen/ CBS Records

Bruce

When an artist of Bruce Springsteen‘s
best-selling stature cops a back~assed
working-class pose on his latest album
cover. you figure you‘re in for a rocky
ride.

Most of Born in the USA. packs the
moody wallop of Springsteen's earlier
Darkness on the Edge of Town. without
sacrificing the bone-bare folk-poetics of
his erratic Nebraska.

Stripped of the Gershvn'nlike preten-
sions that “Tapped his earlier work in
extravagant ~ though frequently suc»
cessful v string and horn arrangements.
Springsteen opts this time for a straight~
ahead rock sound that rings as true and
self-assured as anything since Bob Dy-
lan's Blood on the Tracks

Whatever else you can say about this
album. it isn‘t pretentious. The title
track opens the album with Springsteen's
patented raw-throated vocals and a
plaintive appeal to the listener's most
maudlin sensibilities. wrapping the trite
tale of a Vietnam vet's back—home trau-
mas around a cold cornerstone of sense-
less death: "Had a brother at Khe Sahn-
/Fighting off the Viet Cong/They're still
there/He's all gone."

Pausing long enough to punctuate
”Born in the USA.“ with the predicta-
ble looking-for-love stance of “Cover
Me," Springsteen crashes through two of
the most sneakily obscene good-time
rockers this side of Z Z Top. “Darlington
County" matches a compellingly languid
beat with a charming small-town come-
on (“Our pa‘s each own one of the World
Trade Centers/For a kiss and a smile I'll
give mine all to you.“ I.

"Working on the Highway” provides
an almost Puritan retribution for such
sins. without relinquishing the saving
grace of a good rock ‘n‘ roll beat. From
there on. Born in the USA. is
Springsteen's vision of growing up in a
country dedicated to the proposition of
staying forever young.

“No Surrender" is a blistering portrait

BRl'Cl-l SPRINGSTl-Il-LN'S ‘BORN l.‘\ THl-Z l'.S..A.’

of mature desperation (“Now young
faces yow sad and old/And hearts of
fire grow cold . , . There‘s a war outside
still raging/You say it ain‘t ours any-
more to win"). but the relentless back-
beat speaks of a spirit that refuses to
break despite the odds.

For all its hard-rocking enthusiasm.
Born in the U.S.A.‘s finest moments are
also it‘s most poignant, which should
come as no surprise to longtime
Springsteen fans. “Downbound Train"

describes a nightmarish quest for eluswe
love. while ”My Hometown“ mourns the
memory of a romantic past made only
more painful by the awareness that each
successive generation yearns for a sim-
plicity that never existed.
