KENTUCKY KERNEL

 

CELEBRATING 36 YEARS OF INDEPENDENCE

 

Watkins encourages students to fight institutional racism

said.

“You have a right for black teach~

rs " he said.

"UK was built on a racist institu—
tion." Watkins said. “Is Adolph Rupp
on Rupp (Arena) still?" he asked the
audience. “He thinks you‘re a pack of

The UK Chandler Hospital was
“named after a racist." Watkins said. re-
ferring to the former Kentucky govemor
who once used racial slurs in a Board of
Trustees meeting. according to a 1988
Lexington Herald-Leader article.

"Happy Chandler. rest in his grave.
but he didn’t like black people." he said.

Watkins assured the audience he
was not trying to bash the university.
and he said he didn‘t think an “evil dic—
tator" was running UK.

“I believe in the good in people."

When Boyce Watkins asked mem-
bers of a crowd of about 200 last night
to raise their hands if they have had
more than one black professor at UK.
not a single hand went up.

Watkins. a finance professor at
Syracuse University. said in a speech in
the Student Center‘s Worsham Theatre
that students should take a stand against
institutional racism at UK by forming a
unified plan and seeing it through.

The speech was sponsored by the
African American Studies and Research
Program as pan of the annual Caner G.
Woodson series.

Students should question administra-
tors in a united approach about why there
are not many black professors. Watkins

Watkins said. "The institution has some
things it needs to work on."

Watkins challenged every
person of color to join the
Black Student Union and said
that without active involve—
ment. the same racial prob-
lems would exist at UK.

“You can‘t change the
world. but you can change
your world." Watkins said.

He recalled his own memo—
ties as an opinions writer for the
Kernel when he received nu-
merous death threats because of columns
he wrote.

In 1997 when Watkins was a resi-
dent adviser at UK. the n—word was in
scribed on his door. His younger
cousin. Joshua Watkins. a junior and
resident adviser. had a similar incident

happen to him this year. Less then a
week after the printing of a controver-
sial Kernel editorial cartoon.
which likened UK‘s Greek sys-
tem to a slave trade. the words
"die n " were written on his
door in New North Hall.
Joshua Watkins said.

But despite the racism
Boyce Watkins experienced at
UK. he said the university was
integral in "preparing him for
life."

Watkins has appeared in
various national media outlets. includ-
ing CNN. FOX News. BET, Essence
Magazine. USA Today. “The Today
Show" ESPN and CBS Sports. He
joked about the hundreds ofe -mails.
much of it hate mail. he has received

ics at national news organizations.

"The truth always sets me free."
said.

Bridget Lane. a business marketing
major. said she enjoyed Watkins‘
speech because it made her more aware
of the racial problems on UK's campus.

“His speech opened my eyes to UK 's
racism and aggravated me." Lane said.

Janice Kuperstein. an assistant
physical therapy professor. said. "the
message sounded like it was only for
black people."

She said she left the theater wanting
to ask a question about racism among
other races but was hesitant because
Watkins' lecture was focused on racism
against black people.

After leaving the theatre. she turned
around and came back to campus to ask

Capt. Dennis Sturt. a board member
of Lexington‘s Fraternal Order of Fire-
fighters. was collecting toys in a charity
drive last year when a young woman ap—
proached wanting to sign up for the toy
drive.

She and her husband were full-time
students working two jobs while also rais—
ing their 3~year-old daughter.

"I was so sorry to tell her that the
sign~ups were
over." Sturt said

It was that
experience that
influenced orgzr
nizers of the
Lexington Firc‘
fighters Toy Pro
gram to reach
out to college
students in need
this year.

The Fire—
fighter Toy Pro«
gram is a 75—
year-old annual
project that pro—
vides new and
used toys to 2.500 families in Lexington
last year. Sturt said.

After meeting the woman last year.
Stun ended up finding the woman again

ing homes and student financial aid
in the last debate before next week’s
election.

Republican incumbent Fletcher
and Democratic challenger Beshear
discussed differing plans for provid-
ing financial aid to state college stu-
dents to help deal with increasing tu—
ition at the debate. which aired live
from the Kentucky Educational Tele—
vision headquarters.

Beshear said his Kentucky First
Scholarship Program. a forgivable
loan program for college graduates
that would erase one year of student
loans for every year the student is
employed in Kentucky. is the solu—
tion “to keep the best and brightest
working in the C ommonwealth.”

“This state has seen an 83 per-
cent increase in tuition since 200i
Beshear said. “There are Kentucky
families that can‘t afford to send
their kids to college. and that isn‘t
acceptable."

The financial aid program would
receive funding within the first two

eight graders on a career path and get
money to help with that early."
Fletcher said. “We want to sit down
with those students and say. ‘Iet's get
a plan: let‘s get started now.‘ "

Also during the one-hour debate.
Fletcher commended the work of his
administration in improving the re-
tention of nursing home staff. Both
candidates focused on and revisited
the issue of senior citizen care
throughout the program.

Beshear emphasized the impor-
tance of increasing the number of in-
spectors in state nursing homes as
well as implementing a minimum re-
quirement for the number of employ-
ees per resident.

Fletcher said he has provided
better care for senior citizens by
mandating that nursing homes defi-
cient in care and quality either im»
prove or close. He also offered state
assistance to nursing homes. which
caused the number of homes cited
for serious deficiencies to drop dur-
ing his administration. he said.

Beshear didn‘t think it was necessar-
ily an improvement.

”There are fewer inspectors for
nursing homes now. that‘s why the
number of cases has dropped."
Beshear said.

Fletcher said he would not re-
quire an employee-to-resident ratio
because of the cost of reimbursing
nursing homes for their additional
mandatory hires. but instead would
work with the nursing homes to im—
prove their living conditions.

Botb candidates listed long-temi
care for senior citizens in their top
legislation priorities for the 200x
General Assembly.

Fletcher said affordable and
available healthcare and retirement
were also top legislation priorities.
and Beshear listed improving early
childhood development programs
and funding a senior prescription
drug plan among his main legislative
concems.

The candidates also went head-
to—head about regulations on moun-

keep it as an exception. as a rare time
when companies aren‘t required to
restore the land they disturb. and not
as the general practice."

Fletcher agreed that it is impor-
tant to enforce the laws that are in
place to protect the mined tu‘eas.

“I think we do a good job of en—
forcing those land restoration regula~
tions." Fletcher said. "I believe the
land in most of those areas has been
well restored. Yes. the mountain secs
significant change. but that happens
with floods and with glaciers or tor-
nadoes or in any case of a natural
disaster,"

The candidates only briefly dis—
cussed bringing gambling to the
state. Beshear said the gaming indus»
try is a high priority to him because
of the economic growth it would
bring to the state. Fletcher is opposed
to expanding gambling and has said
throughout his campaign that ex»
panded gaming won‘t add growth to
the economy and will bring social
ills with it,

and bringing her daughter toys from the
drive.

Sturt I'C'dll/Cd that helping students
was something that would serve more
than just the students who received gifts
for their children.

“This is an opportunity to help people
in need who are going on to a much better
future. and can go on to help us in the fu—
ture." Sturt said.

Students who have children and
would benefit from the Firefighter Toy
Program can sign up at 2555 Palumbo
Dr.. next to Kentucky—Indiana Lumber
and across the street from Insight Com-
munications. from Wednesday to Nov. 23.
from 0 am. to 2 pm. with the exception
of Thanksgiving Day on Nov. 2”

To sign up. parents must present proof

asked not to bring a PO. box address.
