Report endorses greater faculty involvement at UK

By BRAD COOPER
Editor-in-Chief

UK faculty need to have more
input into a decentralized, flexible
administrative structure that is not
bogged down in regulations. says a
report detailing the University's out-
look for the future.

_ If UK is going to make its mark as
a university of national distinction,
it needs “strong. sensitive lead-
ership" that will establish priorities

for the University and seek advice
from the faculty, said the report of
the advisory committee on the fu-
ture of the University.

The report was released publicly

by the president's office Tuesday.

The report was compiled by a 26-
member committee composed
mostly of faculty members at the re-
quest of former president Otis A.
Singletary in September 1985.

The document was completed last
December and given to Singletary

by the committee‘s chairman, Col-
lege of Arts & Sciences Dean Mi<
chaelBaer.

Faculty morale. which has de-
clined because of the recent cuts
made in UK‘s budget, the report
said, can be improved by including
faculty members in the decision-
making process on “major" policy
matters.

“A feeling pervades the faculty
that many important non-academic
decisions are made with little or no

faculty input." the report said.

"Whatever the justification for
this view, we believe that the faculty
will identify more with the Universi-
ty and will better endure hard times
if they feel their opinions are consid-
ered in the planning of fiscal expen-
ditures in the development of other
major policies."

This is not to say faculty are cur-
rently being ignored by the adminis
tration, Baer said.

Rather the University needs to

emphasize faculty concerns in the
future.

Among the ways University ad-
ministrators could better address
faculty concerns include working
more with the Senate Council. which
makes academic policy on the Lex-
ington campus.

A faculty concern on the Lexing-
ton campus that the report stresses
is competitive salaries.

An evening spent at Woodland
Park watching a Shakespeare in the
Park production means different
things to different people,

However, no matter what the
reason for attending, the common
denominator seems to be that
everyone has a lot of fun.

“It's nice to be able to go out on a
summer evening and see a good
show for free," said Lana bedford, a
graduate student in early childhood
education.

"There‘s really not much to do in
Lexington during the summer. and
it seemed like something different to
do, " she said.

Some spectators are attracted by
the fact they are watching the works
of Shakespeare.

“l was interested in seeing it
because it was Shakespeare." said
Joseph Ledford, a recent UK
graduate. “i plan on going tosee
‘Macbeth‘ during the end of the run.
That's always been my favorite
Shakespeare tragedy."

Some go for the outdoor theater

Fine acting, music fuel ‘La Bamba’

By WESLEY MILLER
Arts Editor

Although it is at times a little de-
pressing, “La Bamba“ is one of the
best of this summer‘s releases.

The strengths of “La Bamba“ lie
in two areas: a fantastic soundtrack
and a fine feature film debut by Lou
Diamond Phillips as Richie Valen-
zuela. better known as rock star
Ritchie Valens,

All of Valens' songs have been re-
recorded for the film by Los Lobos.
and they do a spectacular job of
mimicking the young tenor. Phillips
provides a convincing lip-synch to
their music.

The plot of “La Bamba" concerns
the rapid rise to fame of the high
school singer, and the complications
that result. The main conflict
emerges between Valens and his

Shakes

Fine acting
strength of
‘Macbeth’

By BRYAN GD. GIBSON
Contributing Critic

The opening night performance of
“Macbeth" proved to be a fairly
good rendition of Shakespeare's
classic tragedy. but it was far from
perfect.

Over 200 people attended the per-
formance, which was sparked by
good acting on the part of most of
the lead actors.

Lisa Rothel. who plays Lady Mac.
beth. was the best performer in the
play. but she did not come into her
own until the second act. Lady Mac-
beth‘s nightmare scene was Rothel‘s
shining moment and one of the high-
lights of the production.

Rothel‘s performance in the first
act was not quite as good. Her solilo-
quies were sometimes weakened by
a lack of vocal inflection in critical
moments. There were times when
she could have expressed more
anger or passion.

The other outstanding perfor-
mance was turned in by Nicholas W.
Korn. who plays Macduff. One of the
most emotionally powerful scenes
involves Macduff’s discovery that
his family has been slaughtered by
Macbeth.

Another memorable sequence oc-
curs when Lisa Wethington. in the
role of Lady Macduff. reacts to the
murder of her son. Her heartfelt
screams of anguish are memorable.
although the howling of a neighbor-
hood dog added an untimely and un-
needed humorous note to the scene.

Gene Haley‘s portrayal of Mac‘
beth was good. but he occasionally
lapsed into overacting. He portrayed

“i liked ‘Macbeth‘ better than t “A

‘Macbeth‘ featured better acting and

said.

“The Shakespeare festival gives
people who can't normally afford to
see theatera good chance tosee a
good set of plays.“ Rice said.

Others attend the festival because
it gives them an opportunity to
socialize with their friends.

“i went to Woodland Park because
a bunch of friends decided they
wanted to go." said Brian Hays. a
civil engineering junior. "i had
nothing better todo at the um. . but
it turned out to be really
entertaining."

Whatever the reason. the
Shakespeare in the Park festival
seems to appeal toa wide variety of
people for a variety of reasons.

‘Midsummer’ combines
good acting, fun plot

By WESLEY MILLER
Arts Editor

The opening night performance of
“A Midsummer Night's Dream“
lacked a little polish, but it did pro-
vide a fun night for the hundreds of
people who attended.

The sixth annual Shakespeare in
the Park festival started off on the
right foot last Wednesday and
Thursday nights. showcasing a good
deal of effort and heart on the part
of the performers to bring one of the
Bard‘s most enjoyable comedies to
the outdoor stage.

“A Midsummer Night‘s Dream"
utilizes one of Shakespeare's most
timeworn premises — that of one or
more pairs of lovers kept apart by
circumstances beyond their control
— but injects into the complicated
plot a variety of interesting and
amusing characters.

Nick Nichols and Lisa Rothel
shine in the dual roles of Theseus
and Hippolyta. soon-to-be-married
rulers of Athens and Amazon, and
Oberon and Titania. king and queen
of the fairies. Both performers deliv-
er their lines naturally. which is
some trick considering the number
of soliloquies Shakespeare includes
intheplay.

in the role of Puck. the mischie-
vom fairy. Brian Alexander Wil-
liams exhibits a great deal of spirit
and nimbleness. providing one of the
two funniest performances of the
evening. Who can help but enjoy
watching the invisible Puck flit from
character to character. pushing and
pestering them as they look around
in wide-eyed astonishment trying to
findtheculprit?

crowning moment comes when Puck
turns him into an ass and then casts
a love spell on Titania. who pro—
ceeds to woo the donkey'headed buf-
foon.

Unfortunately. the rest of the play
does not come off as well. Both
Nicholas Korn and, particularly.
Frederic Zegelien are disappointing
in the roles of young heroes Lysand»
er and Demetrius. Zegelien and
Korn seem uncomfortable spouting
their dialogue, although they have a
lot of fun with their sword fight se-
quence in the second act.

Ellisa Cooper does a good job with
her role as Helena. but Nanci Carol
has some trouble portraying Her-
mia. Her voice at times is inaudible
beyond the tenth row of spectators.
and she too seems ill at ease with
many of her lines.

ing the romance of Pyramus and

with Campbell Wood providing a hi-
larious turn in drag as the fair

The Shakespeare in the Park pro-
duction of “A Mitbummer Night's
Dream" is not perfect, but it should
provide an entertaining night for the
family, weather permitting.

“A Midsummer Night's Dream"

Logan making switch .
from Wildcat to Bengal

By JIM WHITE
Sports Editor

WILMINGTON, tho — Former
UK running back Marc Logan is in
the right place at the right time.

The place — the Cincinnati Beng-
al's 1987 rookie camp in Wilmington,
Ohio.

The time — shortly after Cincin-
nati running back, Stanley Wilson
was suspended from the National
Football League for repeated co-
caine tse.

The opportunity — a chance for a
first-year player to fill the void left
by Wilson.

And now, halfway through the
Bengals’ third and final rookie
camp, Iogan is the front-runner for
theposition.

“You always hate to see some-
thing like that happen but it‘s a bles-
sing in disguise for me," Logan
said. ”Right now I just want to
come in and do what they tell me to
do."

“I really want to just stop thinking
about the opportunity and start just
going out and doing it," he said.

What Logan wants to do is become
a jack—of-all-trades in the Cincinnati
backfield. And he has the creden-
tials for the job.

For his first three seasons at UK,
the Bengals' fifth—round draft choice
ran from the tailback position.

Last season, however, Logan was
cal-ed upon by UK coach Jerry Clai-
borne to fill the shoes of departed
blockirg back Chris Derry. Logan
did that and more.

Besides opening holes in defenses

Bengal offensive coordinator Bruce Cosiet gives
Logan pointers during a drill at Wilmington College

for tailback Mark Higgs, Logan
managed to rack up 546 yards on 109
carries for the Cats. The 5-foot-11.
207-pound Logan also set a UK re-
cord for most carries in a game
against Mississippi State with 35.

“I think some people wonder why
we moved Marc to fullback," Clai-
borne said. “We wanted to get two
of our best running backs in the
game at the same time.

“I think it helped him as far as a
pro prospect. He has the athletic
ability to run the ball or to block,"
Claiborne said.

Bengals’ head coach Sam Wyche
is hoping Logan‘s versatility will
pay off for Cincinnati.

“Well, Mark is the guy we hope
can play both halfback and full-
back," Wyche said. ”His chances,
well anybody’s chances, go up when
you can do more things. He’s got the
size of a fullback, he’s big enough,
and he's got the speed of a half-
back."

Another thing Logan has is plenty
of confidence. And he said that
won‘t change even when the rookies
suit up for their first workout with
the Bengal veterans tomorrow.

But aren’t you just a little bit ner-
vom about it?

“No, football’s football." Logan
said. “It's just like high school going
into college. You get some butterf-
lies but once you get on the field and
the pads are on, it‘s all the same."

Off the field, however. Logan ad-
mits that a few things aren’t the
same.

Like the playbook.

"It's difficult," said.

l

Former UK running back Marc Logan fields a pass at the Cincinnati

Bengals' rookie camp this week.

“There‘s no such thing as the dumb
jock anymore. They throw a lot at
y0u at one time and you just have to
comprehend it. I guess that‘s part of
it. To see how much pressure y0u
can take when they throw it at you."
But Logan said he didn't walk into
the professional football arena un-

prep-red-

” W’Km all”

in Ohio. Starting quarterback Boomer Esiaaon
(left) was also on hand to help with the rookies.

The academic pressures of college
coupled with a rigid UK practice
schedule was tough enough.

“They really work you at UK." he
said. “I think it was one of the hard-
est programs in the Southeastern
Conference as far as discipline and
conditioning.

“I feel if I can go throw that pro- .

gram. I can go through this also."
Logansaid.

“What we try to do is prepare our
players for life." Claiborne said.
“We try to teach them discipline,
how to budget their time and meet
commitments. In professional foot-
ball he is earning a living. That is
his job."

Logan also received some advice
from another former UK running
back who was once in the same posi-
tion.

In the summer of 1985. George
Adams, who set individual nahirg
and scoring recorck at UK, was try-
ing to break into the NFL with the
New York Giants. He is still playing
fortheGiants now.

“He taught me a lot," Logan said.
"I talked to him a lot before I came
here. He just told me to be prepared
and told me they like to play a lot of
head games.

“He just told me to do what I do
best and that's just about every-
thing."Logansaid.

And according to Wyche. so far
logan has been doing everything
well. And if he keeps it up. Wyche
added, there's no reason why he
shouldn‘t be able to earn his stripes
- Bengal stripes that is.

“There‘s a good chance for young
rookies to make this team . . . as
anywhere else in the national foot-
ball league." Wyche said. "There‘s
an excellent chance that one or
more of these players are going to
makethis ballcluh "

Wildcats
win bronze
in tennis

By JIM WHITE
Sports Editor

UK tennis players Sonia Hahn
and Greg Van Emburgh each
brought home bronze medals
from the World University games
held in Yugoslavia earlier this
month.

Hahn, along with Katrina
Adams from Northwestern, won
the bronze for the US. team in
the women's doubles competition.

The two defeated the No. 1
team from Korea for the medal.
Hahn and Adams were defeated
by the Russian team who even-
tually won the women's doubles
competition.

“The competition was really
tough.“ Hahn said. “tougher than
I thought it would be. I just told
myself that I wasn't coming
away from there without a
medal."

Van Emburgh, who will be a
senior at UK this fall. acquired
the bronze in the mixed doubles,
and also had Adams as his part-
ner.

The two defeated a Korean
team, Hi, 7-5, 9-7 for the third-
place victory. They were defeat-
ed in the next round by the Yugo-
slavians, who went on to win the
gold.

UK's Richard Benson joined
teammate Van Emburgh in the
men‘s doubles.

Benson and Van Emburgh, who

'were the first doubles team to be

chosen by the Olympic Commit-
tee for the games. scored a 6-1. 6‘
l first~round victory over Malay-
sia. The two were defeated in the
second round by Korea. 6-4. 36.
845.

Benson and Van Emburgh did
not compete in singles for the
US.

UK tennis coach Dennis Emery
said the bronze medal wins are
very impressive because of the
high caliber of athletes compet-
ing inthe games.

Because different countries
have different stipulations con-
cerning amateur and professional
status. there are many athletes
at the games that would be con
sidered pros in the t' S.

"The World Universnty Games
is a weird competition because
their are a lot of professionals
playing.“ Emery said. “You real-
ly have no idea of how you‘re
going to do until you get over
there."

UK's Tamaka Tagaki rep-
resented her native country of
Japan at the World University
Games but results from her
matches were unavailable.

 

 

 

 

  

Roselle names vice president

New administrator to oversee campus computer systems

By ANTHON Y (‘LAR K
Staff Writer

Eugene R. Williams, L'K's assis~
tant vice chancellor for business
services will assume the newly cre-
ated vice presidency for information
systems on Aug. 1.

The position. created by President
David P. Roselle to oversee the de-
velopment of UK‘s computer and in-
formation technologies. will replace
the associate vice presidency for in-
formation systems planning and pol-
icy, formerly held by Robert Heath.

Roselle, in a memo to faculty and
staff. said the University “should
see major renovations in the coming
year in the computing center, in-
cluding the installation of a class VI
computer. an extension of the cam-
pus data communications network
and the installation of new software
packages.“

Williams said Roselle wanted to
get all the University's operations
that “deal in information, and those
that are driven. or will be driven by
computers. under the same organi-
zational structure . "

Williams now manages seven Uni-
versity business divisions, including
design and construction. the Physi-
cal Plant Division, personnel, Public
Safety, the Lexington Campus Data
Processing operation. the employee
benefits division and communica-
tions.

He will continue to manage the de-
sign and construction and Physical
Plant divisions until December,
when their management will be re-
delegated by Jack Blanton, vice
chancellor of administration, Wil-
liams said.

he said. will be combined.

His new responsibilities. Williams
said, will include “all computer

pus, those in McVey Hall as well as
those used by the administrative
and academic divisions. and all
communications, including voice.
data and video,"

The computer service systems
used by UK library services will
also come under the direction of the
new vice president “sometime be-
fore Christmas." Williams said.

Eventually. he said. UK‘s print-
ing, duplicating and photo proc-
essing services will also be managed
by his office.

Williams said computer-driven
laser printing is quickly becoming
the most efficient and economical
method for these services.

Roselle, who couldn't be reached

lease that Williams would be
charged with implementing “a strat-
egy to ensure that tUK’st computing
resources are maximized, applica-
ble hardware and software are fully
compatible. and that computing re-
sources are available according to
need throughout the University."

Roselle also said the administra-
tion has embarked upon a program
to further develop UK‘s “use of
technology in programs of research.
instruction and service. as well as
the management of the University."

Williams said the communication
division included the campus tele-
phone network, and that “we are
now, at UK. our own telephone com-
pany."

The system. said Williams, saves
students 20 to 25 percent on long dis-
tance calls.

“It originally began as a small op-
eration, but it's gotten very large."

When it‘s updated, Williams said.
the UK telephone network will be in-
tegrated with data services. “It only
makes sense to combine the two."

Williams, an accounting graduate
from Eastern Kentucky University.
did graduate work at Xavier Univer-
sity and Northwestern.

in a recent conference in Phoenix,
Ariz. Williams spoke to members of
International Business Machine
Corp.'s Academic Information Serv-
ices.

He said he was asked to talk about
“the personal computer resale oper-
ation at UK. "

Williams, who currently reports to

Pink reminders of mutilation, loss of library materials give way to on-line computer search system

By ANTHONY CLARK
Staff Writer

A splash of color will be fading in
UK library stacks when pink “lost"
slips start coming down, while Di-
rector of Library Services Paul Wil-
lis says the problem has been as
much mutilation as loss.

The slips are going because the li-
brary‘s new on-line computer sys-
tem can target missing books more
efficiently, said Mike Lach, asso-
ciate director of library services.

“These people (who mutilate
material) wouldn't dream of taking
books from a bookstore,” Willis
said. “but because we lend them
and don‘t charge for their use, we‘re
taken advantage of. "

“We try to keep the cost of copy-
ing as low as possible," Lach said,
“and still we have a tremendous
problem with the destruction of our
periodicals."

Willis said if a non—student is
caught mutilating library materials,
“campus police are called in and the
individual is prosecuted. And if it’s a
student, a report is made to the
dean of students and disciplinary ac-
tion is usually taken," in addition to
compulsory compensation for the
damaged materials.

“What they don‘t realize," Lach
said, “is that this type of abuse ex-
acts a toll on" those who steal and
destroy library materials.

“Their tuition has to be increased
to maintain the library, and when
they need the information they may
not be able to find it,“ he said.

Lach sail in a given year about 1
percent of the library’s estimated 2,-
000,000 item collection is designated
lost.

And with an average cost of $55 a
book for replacement and proc-
essing, the collection and devel-
opment office spends $0,000 to $10,-
000 annually to replace missing
books.

But generally, Lach said, that of-
fice doesn‘t replace a book unless
it's been lost for at least a year.

“Oftentimes, however, items are
out of print and impossible to re-
place,“ he said.

Ann Campbell, the head of library
circulation, said imtead of‘putting
the cards reading “This book has
been declared lost" on the shelves to
denote missing books, the books'
statts would now be part of the in-
formation available from the on-line
computer search system.

Currently Campbell is directing a
project to remove the cards from

Lach said the on-line system will
eventually list the status of all the
items in UK libraries.

There are approximately 1,000,000
titles indexed by UK library serv-
ices, he said, and since its introduc-

tion in September, 1935 about 700,000
of these have been entered into the
new system.

The card catalog, Lach said, is es-
sentially “frozen” and is no longer
being maintained.

Lach implemented the pink slip
system when he came to UK seven
years ago and said the computer
search is more efficient, but added
the slips have their purpose.

“When someone's looking for a
book,” he said, “the pink slip lets
them know it’s missing."

“And when we’re about to re-
shelve a book that's been lost, a pink
slip lets us know that someone’s
been looking for it."

Lach said there were also psycho—
logical implications.

“When people see the stacks pep-
pered in pink," he said, “they’re re-
minded of how taking items unoffi-
cially and failing to return things
they check out will affect us. ”

Elizabeth Gorely, an elementary
education major, said, though she
generally uses the education library,
more than half the times she looked
for a specific title or reference in
MI. King shewas unsuccessful.

Under the current system, if a
book can't be located, a search re-
quest can be filed with the circula-
tion desk.

Campbell said when a search re-
quest is filed, an actual search for
the missing item will be conducted
within a week. And if the book isn‘t
found the search will be repeated
twice in two weeks.

If it isn’t located by the third
search, Campbell said, the process
won’t be repeated again for as long
assix months.

Willis said, however, that about 50
