Krista Gibler, a UK art junior
who has announced her intention
to run for study body president,
was arrested and charged with
disorderly conduct last weekend,
UK police Chief W.H. McComas
said.

Gibler physically assaulted her
boyfriend, communications soph-
unore Ron Taylor, at 12:10 am.
March 7, police reports say. A
UK police officer witnessed the
incident, confronted Gibler and
arrested her, McComas said.

Gibler and her potential nin-
ning mate, political science jun-
ior Eric Smith, informally an-
nounced their Student
Government Association bid to
the Kentucky Kemel Dec. 9.

Gibler said the formal an-
nouncement date is imcertain, but
Smith said last night that the
team will announce on Wednes-
day, March 23.

Both Gibler and Smith said Gi-
bler‘s arrest will not alter their
potential campaign plans.

“I don‘t see it affecting the
race that much," Smith said. “In
fact, I think it will have a positive
effect. It shows that she won't
take crap off anyone. That’s what
the SGA needs."

Although McComas said Gi-
bier has yet to be convicted of
any crime, Gibler told the Ken-

 

Candidate for SGA
arrested, cited after
slapping boyfriend

tucky Kernel she “slapped" Tay-
lor outside 327 Columbia Ter-
race.

“I had an argument with my
boyfriend," she said. “I slapped
him. A cop same over and arrest-
edme."

Taylor did not press charges.
but Gibler was cited for disorder-
ly conduct. Taylor declined come
ment, saying he would not get in-
volved in “this little politic
thing."

SGA faculty adviser J.W. Pat-
terson said “there is a prestnnp-
tion of innocence" regarding the
charge, and Gibler's arrest would
not jeopardize her standing as an
eligible candidate.

“If she were to be convicted.
however, that could be another
matter." he said. “I'd have to
check the regulations.“

Patterson said he had no idea
what kind of repercussions the
incident would have on the vot-
ers.

“Whether or not they would
think that this would be indica-
tive of her ability to govern i
just couldn‘t say."

Meanwhile, Gibler was confi-
dent the incident would not harm
her campaign.

“I don't think that getting ar-
rested says anything for any-
thing," she said. “Basically, it
shows that I am a person of high
beliefs."

 

 

Bill leads to debate
on campus prejudice

 

By Melissa Rosenthal
Staff Writer

 

A heated debate centering on
whether to allot money to a pre-
dominantly biack sorority for a na-
tional conference erupted into a
tense discussion about prejudice on
the Student Government Associa-
tion Senate floor last night.

'I‘hebillstatedthatasumnotto
exceed $843 be alloted to Zeta Phi
Beta Sorority, Inc., for registration
and hotel accomodations during its
74th National Conference in Orlan-
do, Fla.

Four members of the sorority
were planning
on attending,
and the bill not-
ed that these
students would
pay for half of
their hotel. air
fare and eating
expenses.

SGA President Lance Dowdy
spoke out against the bill.

“Conferences for fraternities and
sororities are to promote that spe-
cific group," he said.

“Every student would not be af-
fected by this conference, because
only members of Zeta Phi Beta are
allowed to attend."

Senator at Large Beverly Cole-
man challenged Dowdy‘s com-
ments by stating. “There was a re-

 

treat for SGA members at the be-
ginning of the fall semester — not
every student at this University
could attend, nor would they neces-
sarily be benefited by it.”

After Coleman spoke, the debate
centered around whether predomi-
nantly black sororities were social
or service sororities and fratemi-
ties.
According to Student Organiza-
tions Assembly listings, predomi-
nantly black sororities are social
organizations.

Although they are social organi-
zations, unlike predominantly
white sororities, they must end
each semester with a zero balance.

“All of the
money that they
make goes toward
their philanthro-
py," said Gradu-
ate School Sena-
tor Erica
McDonald. a
sponsor of the
bill. She also noted there are only
about 1,000 black students on
UK's campus.

Although the debate lasted al-
most an hour, the bill to allot the
money was passed, but Dowdy still
can veto it.

“I have not decided whether or
not I will veto this bill," be said. “i
need to research further to see if

Last spring, as part of budget cut-
back efforts, the dean of the Col-
lege of Ans and Sciences recom-
mended dropping the bachelor‘s of
arts degree in the Linguistics De-
partment.

Because of changes made this
summer by faculty and administra-
tors, however, the program remains
open to students.

These changes, designed to im-
prove the department's quality
while cutting costs. were so suc-
cessful, the dean's recommendation
was withdrawn. said linguistics
professor Greg Stump.

Leaner and meaner

Linguistics 'ves on at UK

“Our suggestions are meant to
enhance the quality of the BA de-
gree in linguistics without putting
demands on other departments,"
said Stump, who was one of the
professors who led the drive to save
the department.

Linguistics is the study of speech
patterns and word usage in lan-
guage.

Although the program is a part of
the English department, it is inter-
dependent and ties in directly with
many of the other language depart-
ments, Stump said.

Two main suggestions were
made to improve the program, he
said.

The first was to take the course
sequence of 515 and 516 and tie

them with field work study.

“We intend to get speakers who
speak the most unusual languages,
and basically get the students to an-
alyze the language first hand,"
Stump said.

The other change involves requir-
ing students to have more in-depth
experience with their language of
specihlization.

Before the changes, linguistics
students were required to be in their
fourth semester of a foreign lan-
guage.

Under the new changes, students
are required to take courses in the
history and structure of their lan-
guage.

Stump said this is a definite im-
provement in the department.

“It will be enriching (students')
training as linguists," he said.
which will improve their job pros-
pects after college.

He said linguistics already have
many unique career opportunities,
including computer software devel-
opment.

Currently, UK's linguistics de-
partment is quite small, with only
four faculty members and about 10
students.

Stump, however, said he believes
the department’s outlook is good
despite the adversity it has faced.

“1 am extremely optimistic,"
Stump said. “I feel the proposals
we are making truly enhance the
program. They really do allow us to
do more with less."

Leaders address sexual assault

 

By Shane Carlin
Contributing Writer

“No, thank you. No, ma‘am. No,
sir. No!"

With that motto, the executive
director of the Women's Center of
Central Kentucky summed up her
concern that sexual assault victims
have the right to say no.

 

“All of these nos are usually un-
derstood and respected, however
when it comes to sexual violence

against women, many
times that forceful ‘no’ is
ignored," Stacey Street
said during a press confer-
ence at the Student Center
yesterday.

Street was one of five
community and UK lead-
ers who spoke at the con-
ference, which focused on
campus sexual violence.

Yeltsin sdd his snub should be

no surprise.

“This is impossible after the sort
of meetings Nixon has had here,
and I'm glad President Clinton sup-
ports this position." Yeltsin said in
unusually harsh remarks to report-
ers on Red Square.

Yeltsin said Clinton had dis-
tanced himself from Nixon's pri-
vate visit. but Clinton and yester-
day he believed the Russian
president should meet Nixon.

“It‘s up to President Yeltsin
whom he sees and doesn't see."
Clinton said. “i wish he would see

“How can one do something like

size his disgust.

“No, after that, i will not (receive

Russia‘s friend to re-assert his ma-
cho and to tell us that Russia is a

“He is puzzled, he is disappoint-
ed,“ Simes said. “But you know
that. with his long career, and 81,
he is a big boy, and he has had his
share of disappointments in his life,
some of them much more serious

Clinton said he talked to Nixon
before he left on his 10-day trip to

Russia that envisaged visits with

alist Vladimir Zhirinovsky.

“And I said he should meet with

Girl who tried to leave
parents returns to them

 

AWN“ PM.

 

SEBRING. Fla. —— Kimberly
Mays, the girl who was switched at
birth. moved in with her biological
parents, the same couple she once
persuaded a court to ban from her
life.

She tearfully pleaded with a
judge last year to allow her to stay
with the only man she has known
as her father. Robert Mays.

The judge severed ties with her
biological parents, Ernest and Re-
gina Twigg.

But Tuesday, Kimberly left a
Sarasota YMCA youth shelter for
troubled teens and went with the
Twiggs to their Sebring home, The
Tampa Tribune reported.

She had gone to the shelter last

week for help with what her lawyer
called typical adolescent problems.

“I know we're all disappointed,”
Mays' father, Robert Mays Sr.. told
The Associated Press yesterday.

“I don't know for sure what's go~
ing on. and that's why I can't say
too much.”

Earlier, his wife, Ruth, told
WWNZ of Orlando that Kimberly
was moving in with the Twiggs
with the permission of the younger
Mays.

Robert Sr. said he was reluctant
to discuss such details because he
didn’t know what was going to hap-
pen next.

Kimberly, 15. is expected to en-
roll at Sebring High School. the
newspaper quoted sources close to
the Twiggs m saying.

Stall Writer

 

With the introduction of Stu-
dent Support Services, UK seeks
to expand its range of services
offered to first-generation col-
lege students.

The program, which is ever-
seen by UK’s Department of Ed-
ucation, provides academic sup-
port for students whose parents
did not attend college. The pro-
gram also offers programs for
students with disabilities and fi-
nancial need, as well as adult

 

students either beginning college or
returning to UK.

“We felt that students could ben-
efit from a new program," said
Toni Thomas, coordinator of Stu-
dent Support Services.

Thomas said the program offers
academic planning. free tutoring
and a counselor who also monitors
students' progress. It focuses main-
ly on math and science instruction.
with an emphasis on group leam-
mg.

“With Student Support Services,
we want to combine academic sup-
port with social and cultural pro-
gramming," Thomas said. “We’re

also involved in helping students
adjust to their studies within a large
university like UK."

Future goals for Student Support
Services include a special program
for incoming freshmen. The pro-
gram will include a mentoring and
peer counseling program to help
students adjust to UK.

For now. though, Thomas places
more importance on making stu-
dents aware of Student Support Ser-
vices. She plans to confer with com-
munity groups and other
departments within UK, including
UK‘s advising center.

Thomas emphasized that Student

New Support Services office ’
helps 1st-generation students

Support Services does not offer
actual academic schedule advis-
ing, but helps students determine
which classes to take.

“The overall goal of Student
Support Services is to retain stu-
dents and graduate them with
the education that they need,"
Thomas said. “We want to get
students involved in our free tu-
toring services and make them
aware of our peer counseling."

The program. located in 1038
Alumni Gym. is funded with a
$170,000, four-year grant from
the national Department of Edu-
cation in Washington. DC.

The grant also will fund four oth-
er projects at UK, including re-
search conducted with the College
of Pharmacy.

Young said the research program
will focus on the complications that
develop after head trauma occurs,
rather than the initial trauma.

“Once the primary brain injury
occurs. a cascade of secondary
events takes place throughout the
body. resulting in injuries to the in-
testines, liver and lungs,” Young
said. “We know that improvement
occurs for a period of about one to
one and a half years in patients who
survive severe head injury.

“We want to arrive at treatments
which will help more people to sur-
vive and minimize initial trauma
and secondary injury.“

The UK program, which was an-
nounced yesterday, will combine

clinical trials with other areas of
scientific research during the five-
year project. A team of about 20 re
searchers will investigate any fac-
tors that can affect the survival rate
or quality of life after a severe head
injury.

“We are very pleased to have a
multidisciplinary approach," said
Mary Ellen Michel, a National ln-
stitutes of Health project officer
who announced the grant during a
news conference yesterday.

“I think that is one thing that the
reviewers looked at very carefully
and welcomed very strongly was
that there was that there was both
basic science and clinical science,
and there was a multidisciplinary

Business and Economics
creates new MBA degree

 

By Alan Aja

Many UK engineering students
are interested in getting business
administration degrees because they
say MBAs can help them move into
management positions sooner.

But an MBA means at least two
extra years of school — and the
added tuition that many students
find prohibitively expensive.

Now, the College of Engineering
and the College of Business and Ec-
onomics at UK are offering a differ-
ent solution: They have combined
an engineering degree with a mas-
ter’s in business administration to
form a new five-year program.

 
  
          
     

Students in the program will be
able to fulfill the usual require-
ments for an engineering degree
and for a master’s in business by
following a year-round course stud-
ies -— including some summer
courses and internships. The pro-
gram is expected to begin in the
fall.

UK's new approach shows “the
importance in the management of
technology,” said Fred Trutt, asso~
ciate dean of the College of Engi-
neering.

"We want engineering and busi-
ness administration students to be
well qualified to enter the work
force," antt said, “especially in the
technical management field."

In an effort to find interested stu-

dents, the College of Engineering
ran an advertisement in the Ken-
tucky Kernel and mailed applica-
tions to current engineering students
who met the grade-point average re«
quirements for the new program.

The applications were due March
4 and currently are being evaluated.

Officials said there is not a speci-
fied number of students who will be
accepted

“All qualified students are eligi-
ble to apply," Trutt said. “(Accep-
tance) will depend on how many
students apply. If we get too much,
we’ll draw the line.

“We hope to continue offering
this program in the future. and we
hope that it will be successful."

approach in both of those catego-
rres."

Young said UK researchers will
have two main focuses in the pro-
gram. First, he said they want to
find ways to stop secondary injuries
that follow from head trauma.

These include problems that orig-
inate in the head and spine and then
move to other parts of the body.
The group will be looking for ways.
he said, to isolate the problems be-
fore they affect other areas.

The second focus of the program
will be to enhance the brain's reju-
venation process.

This research may lead to the de-
velopment of new drugs to help
damaged cells regenerate.

Massey-Ferguson band
unites funk, punk styles

 

By Perry Brothers

Massey-Ferguson wants to plow
through the doldrums that reverber-
ate throughout most of Lexington‘s
music scene.

The four-piece, funk-punk group

:_ issued a challenge this week, daring
, , all local bands to an amp-to—amp,

gmdge-grunge match.

“Stirring things up is the goal,"
bassist Gary Rosenbaum said.

“We are white males, and we are

" bored," he said. “We're tired of liv-

ing boring everyday white male

~ lives, so we want to shake up our

environment and blitz Lexington

Massey-Ferguson is confident
about the quality and originality of
its sound. It has “as a backbone a
diverse rhythm section, which in-
corporates throbbing bass and styl-
ized jazzy percussion," said UK
landscape architecture student and
Massey-Ferguson guitarist Jay Vos-

k“Add two guitars to the mix and
you get the Massey-Ferguson sound
that is different from anything Lex-
ington has ever heard." Voskuhl
said.

Rosenbaum; Jay Voskuhl; his
brother. guitarist Jim Voskuhl; and
dnimmer Brian Koetter combine
their respective influences, Carlos
Santana. Black Sabbath, Fugazi and
the Mahavishnu Orchestra.

The mix of styles clash well, Jim
Voskuhl, a UK telecommunications
senior said.

Jim develops most of the lyrics
for Massey-Ferguson, but he never
writes them down. Each perfor-
mance is a spontaneous adventure
in improvisation
