Teachers’ pay low at colleges in W.Va.

Associated Press

CHARLESTON, W.Va. —— West
Virginia University professors aver-
age higher earnings than their col-
leagues at other colleges and uni-
versities in the state, but they still
fail $7,000 below the national aver-
age, according to a published re‘
port.
WVU professors make an aver—
age of almost $51,000 per year. the
report in The Chronicle of Educa-
tion‘s April 22 edition stated. The
numbers were compiled by Maryse
Eymonerie Associates for the
American Association of University
Professors, the publication said.

But the national average for a
professor in the 1991-92 school
year was more than $58,000, the
journal reported.

“I feel like it's our single most se-
rious problem as an institution,"

Higher fee
proposed
for health,

technology

By BRIAN BENNETT
Staff Writer

Students may find tltat their stu-
dent fee has increased when they
look at their bill next semester.
And. though they may not realize
why, those proposing the irtcreases
say it is to the benefit of the stu-
dents.

Proposals to increase the student
health portion of the fee by about
$4 and to add a $40 technology fee
are being drafted and will be sent to
the next Board of Trustees meeting
for approval.

The student fee is charged in ad-
dition to tuition :utd irt one lump
sum, with parts of that sum being
divided among seven areas, includ-
irtg health services. studertt govern-
rnertt arid atltletics. Last year‘s stu-
dent fee amounted to $1 12.

If the board allots $40 of the fee
to technology. it Will become the
second largest area benefiting from
the student payment. Student
Health Service takes the most. last
year 372.25 of each student fee.

Gene Williams, vice president of
irifonnation systems. said the mon-
ey would be used to increase the
number arid quality of UK's com-
puter systems.

“it‘s our desire to expand rapidly
the number of machines zutd soft-
ware environment to students."
Williams said. "It's so important for
students to be exposed to it."

UK currently has more than 300
computers on campus iit fottr labs.
Williams said ltc hopes to double
the number of computers within 18
months as well as to upgrade the
system every two years.

He said if the fee is approved. the
network system will be improved
so that students cart ltook up to it
using their owrt computers iit their
residence hall rooms.

The computers currently being
used. which are mostly [EM and
Macintosh. are not outdated. Wil-
liams said. but wrll be “very quick-
ly" if they are riot updated continu-
ally.

CORRECTION

Because of an editor‘s er-
ror, a correction in Friday's
Kentucky Kentel gave the
wrong date for the Outdoor
Spring ‘Arts Festival. It is Fri-
day and Saturday.

said WVU President Neil Bucklew.

“It‘s a problem that i think just
has to be addressed. But our ability
to address it can only be accom-
plished with the support of the
state," he said.

Professors at the West Virginia
College of Graduate Studies were
the second-highest paid of state in-
stitutions studied, according to the
report. They made $49,000 a year.
the study showed.

Marshall University professors
were next at almost $45,000 a year.
followed by Fairmont State profes-
sors at about $41,000 a year, the
study showed.

WVU also paid its associate pro-
fessors the most of the state institu-
tions studied at almost $41,000 a
year, the report showed. But that
was still $2,000 less than the na-
tional average of more than
$43,000.

WVU also paid assistant profes-
sors the most of the state institu-
tions surveyed at $34,000 per year,
but again that was about $2,000 less
than the national average of tnore
than $36,000, the study showed.

Each of the states bordering West
Virginia had schools where profes-
sors earned more money than at
WVU.

Professors at Ohio State arid Penn
State, for example, averaged about
$68,000 while those at the Univer-
sity of Virginia averaged $70,700.

State College System Chancellor
Paul Marion said West Virginia‘s
low faculty salaries make it difficult
to attract and retain high quality
staff.

“1 think the question is, will our
citizens be competing in an iittenta-
tiortal economy, and if so, cart they
afford to have art inferior education
arid still be competitive!” Marion

said.

“i do think we have a better
group of faculty titan the average
salaries would indicate because of
loyalty to West Virginia arid cost-
of-living and quality-of-life fac-
tors," he said. “But I believe there
are limits on how far that will go
when you‘re talking about a
$10,000 or $12,000 salary differ-
ence."

Gov. Gaston (Tapertou was una-
vailable for comment Monday. but
gubernatorial spokesman Bob Bruit-
rter said (‘aperton ltas established

cluding ltow to improve faculty and

in state tuition

Associated Press

University of Louisville President
Donald Swain s2i_\'\ the continued
effort to make college affordable
for some people is making higher
education in Kentucky less valuable
for everyone.

Swain arid some of his presidenv
tial colleagues suggested Monday
that tuition paid by students should
be increased to make up for lost tax
money arid ensure the high quality
of a college education,

Swain said fewer state dollars
means that the quality of higher ed»
ucation will erode for all students.
He outlined a proposal to the (‘otin-
cil on iliglter lidticanon that tuition
could be increased by perhaps 15
percent. with a third of the rtew
money goirtg for financial aid for
needy students arid the remainder
for general university use.

lTK President (‘harles Wethingi

intrttediatc prospect.

"The last titittg we want to do l\
msh in here and try to solve this

helped lead her to the chance to
work in Paris. While working for
Disney World. Weber performed as
one of Santa‘s elves during the Dis-
ney World Christmas celebration.

She also performed as the chip-
munk. Chip. during the 1992 NBA
All-Star game on TNT and on the
anniversary special of “Today
Show."

Weber first teamed about oppor-
tunity to work at Euro-Disney in an
advertisement. which prompted her
to go for an interview.

“She is always auditioning and
interviewing for everything, so she
gave it a try. Her french was ade-
quate enough to get her through."
said Debbie Weber. Weber’s moth-
er and part-time assistant in the UK
Math Department.

Weber‘s Disney experience be-
gan last April when she learned
about the Walt Disney Program for
students from a friend.

Out of 100 interviewees who ap-
plied at UK last spring, she was one
of eleven UK students chosen for
the program, which is designed to
let students gain college credit and
experience by working at Disney
World.

The program also allows students
to take classes related to their ma-

a park for UK student

jor. such as the tilmmaking class in
which Weber participated.

She worked at Disney World
from May through August I991.
and was to return to UK, but was
offered a job by the entertainment
department at Epcot Center last Au-
gust.

After struggling with a decision
whether to return to UK, she chose
to stay in Orlando for a year.

“She was already packed and
ready to come home when she was
offered a chance to work at the Ep-
cot Center." Weber‘s mother said.
“She called home and told us about
the job. we didn‘t offer her any
opinion. We knew what she was go-
ing to do anyway. She has always
been very active."

“It has been a great experience
for Candace because she has met so
many people since becoming in-
volved in the program," her mother
said. “She has met people from all
over the world — she has learned a
lot about the world from this expe—
rience."

Weber has tentative plans to re-
turn to UK in the spring of 1993.
But her talents have led her on this
wonderful “Fantasia"-1ike journey
and who knows where she’ll go
from there.

The Interf'ratemity Council de-
cided Monday not to invite Pi
Lambda Phi social frateniity to
colonize at UK next year.

“We thought it would not be
to the best benefit of the greek
system to expand." said IFC
President Jeremy Bates.

Willi the return of Phi Gamma
Delta to campus this year and
Sigma Phi Epsilon next year.
Bates said adding another frater.
nity to UK right now would
cause overcrowding.

He said it would be hard to be
successful with too many frater-
nities on campus, and he didn‘t
feel UK could handle another.

Chris Graham, director of
chapter services for Pi Lambda
Phi disagreed, saying one new
fratemity couldn‘t hurt the oth-
ers.

“Only about 17 percent of the
student population is greek, so
there are many students whom
the greek system isn‘t serving."

Graham was not surprised by
Ili("s decision. but said UK's

 

IFC offers no welcome
to new social fraternity

greek system could be helped by
adding Pi Lambda Phi because it
would bring more students into
the system. He added some
schools. like Florida and Michi-
gan encourage more fratemities
to strengthen their systems.

(irahzun says that Pi Lambda
Phi now has three choices:

-()ne is coming on campus as
a student organization. UK is a
public school and can't stop
them from establishing a student
organization. even if IFC won‘t
accept them.

'Another choice is to wait and
re-apply in the next year or two.

-Finally. Pi Lambda Phi can
just completely forget about
coming to UK and continue its
expansion elsewhere.

Pi Lambda Phi was originally
established at Yale in 1895 as a
way of avoiding discriminatory
fmteniities. It folded soon there-
after and returned in 1908 at C0-
lumbia University.

Their creed states all men are
created equal and that freedom
is vital to all men.

Currently. there are 64 chap-
ters. mostly in the Northeast.

 

 

Rules of the road for campus bicyclers

Bicycling is the major means of
trzmsportation for many students. It
is relatively inexpensive. less stress-
ful than parking a motor vehicle on
crunpus. good exercise and a pleas-
ant way to see the world around
you. However. the safety of a bicy-
clist. pedestrian and everyone else
on the road depends on everyone
knowing and following the same
rules of the road.

How STRlili'l‘ SMART are you?
True or False:

'Bicyclists do not have to abide
by the same traffic laws pr0vided
for motor \ehicles.

False. Bicyclists must obey traf-
fic signs and signals. Follow lane
markings. For example. don’t turn
left from the right lane or go
straight in a lane marked right turn
only. Use hzmtl signals to let motor-
ists know your intentions. Ride with
uaffic and keep to the right. Always
look back before changing lanes or
before changing positions within
your lane turd yield to traffic.

~Motor vehicles are not the only
dzmger to bicyclists.

True. Watch for road hazards
such as wet or oily pavement, loose
gravel. ice. raised manhole covers
and parallel slat sewer grates. AI-
ways cross speed bumps and rail-
road tracks at right angles.

 

For the
HEALTH OF IT

'Bicyclists much watch motor-
ists. You can‘t depend on motorists
to watch you.

True. Watch for cars turning or
pulling out in front of you. Assume
they do not see you until you are
certain that they do. Obtain eye
contact if possible.

~Bicyclists have as much right to
be on the sidewalk as do pedestri-
ans.

False. In many places. sidewalk
driving is illegal. The Lexington-
Fayette County Code states, “No
person shall ride a bicycle upon a
sidewalk within a business district."
If you ride on a sidewalk. go slowly
and always give an audible warning
before overtaking and passing a pe-
destrian on a sidewalk. Pedestrians
always have the right of way on
sidewalks.

'It is the responsibility of the bi-
cyclist to be seen.

True. Wear bright clothing dur-
ing the day to make you stand out.
Wear light colored clothing at
night. liquip your bike with a strong

vice zmd extracurricular activities."
Ilcnry said.

The college just wished that there

Over 600 primed, pumped-up in-
dividuals witnessed “Pink Floyd:
The Wall” Friday at midnight.
Many were seeing it for the ump-
teenth time.

The atmosphere of the Kentucky
Theatre had a definite anticipatory.
rowdy feel to it; there were certain-
ly many people under the influence
of various altered states of con-
sciousness. Perhaps behavior under
such circumstances would tend to
be unpredictable.

Still, I find it disturbingly ironic a
uniformed security guard continued
to walk up and down the aisles dur-
ing the show. In a real case of an
imitating life, skin-head neo-Nazis
with clubs patrol a concert where
their Fascist rock idol rants and
chants. If he spots any undesirables
in the audience. they are removed.

Talk about mixed messages! Isn’t
this film trying to fight this very
thing? What is the Kentucky afraid
of“? That the youth might take the
movie too seriously?

There are many bricks in the
wall: techno-capitalism, the State-
run War machine, Religious Gov-
ernance and Theo-politics. white
Western Judeo-Christian cultural
gridlock. InilSs Educational indoc-
trination. the war of the sexes, (Id

'l‘liis Rock-i\rx)c«()pera is a pas-
sionate plea to listen to the creative
voice of your own lietu‘t. Modern
life and its appointed professional
baby sitters should realize sooner or
later that the kids we all right. May-
be we need to get a little crazy
sometimes.

By JIM PATTERSON

NASHVILLE. Tenn. — Yoko
Ono, John Lennon's widow who‘s
still reviled by those who feel she
broke up their beloved Beatles. has
spent much of the last It) years pro-
tecting and promoting Lennon‘s
legacy.

Now. she’s ptit out ()nolmt. a
collection of six compact discs.
each with about 70 minutes of her
music.

"I‘m just another artist trying her

best to convey joy and some pain."
Ono said. “In the conteiiiponiry era
most artists don‘t get persecuted or
discredited or ignored like l have.
But in the old days lbsen got flak
for The Doll House. Van (‘iogh was
ignored."

The material on ()nolmi may sur—
prise those who ante iip the $80 for
it. It's also available in a more eco-
nomical single CI). Walking on
Thin Ice, that surveys the box set.

The expansive format showcases
a startling variety of work. The mu-
sic touches on rock. disco. pop.

inn. blues zutd opera. All of it is
situnpcd with Yoko‘s wide-ranging
and original vocals and her feminist
iiew'point.

Ono said Rykodisc persuaded her
to limit the protect to six (‘I)s. III-
stead of nine. So ()itoliot doesn‘t
represent collabonitions with I.en~
non like Tlt'tl I’ii'einx and The Wed-
ding Album.
