University's budget looks

By Matt Felice

N (21‘; Editor

Dramatic differences between
this year's UK operating budget
and last year's have a lot of peo—
ple smiling and breathing sighs
of relief.

The hallmark of the new bud—
get that has created all the sud-

den optimism is the projected
increase in the availability of
state revenues.

Frankfort is expecting a ood
fiscal year for 1995-96 an has
indicated to the University’s
Board of Trustees that state
appropriations to UK will be as
high as $330.3 million this time

percent increase from last year.

“The amount of money they
give us shows their commitment
to higher education,” said Stu-
dent Government Association
President Shea Chaney.

At the same time, the portion
of the budget which students
fork over in tuition and fees has
increased at a signiﬁcantly slower
rate than before. This year’s rate
of increase is projected at 3.6
percent, whereas in recent years
it had been as high as 18 percent.

Chaney forecasts a continua-
tion of the new trend.

“Unless there's a huge drop in
state support, I expect the tuition
to stabilize at a lower level.” In

ast years the state has been
known to follow up a suddenly
large appropriation with a much
smaller one the following year or
even to cut funding after the UK
budget has already been com-
pleted.

But just last year the General

‘more positive’

Assembly gave UK the ﬁrst taste
of a more generous helping when
in a June special session, it allo-
cated an additional $2.28 million
for University System eneral
operations. T at was ad ed as a
surplus fund to the 1994—95 UK
budget, which Vice President of
Management and Budget Ed
Carter expects to be available
again from the state this year and
on into the future.

Carter said the possibility of
the state retracting additional
funding was “no more than with
the rest of the appropriation.

“VVe’re subjected to that at
any time. We live in that sce—
nario all the time.”

Administrators don’t see cuts
as likely. “We don’t see anything
on the horizon for 1995 that is a
disaster looming,” said UK Pres~
ident Charles VVethington.

Those sentiments of conﬁ—
dence were repeated when the
Board of Trustees approved the

bud et Tuesday afternoon.

“ t’s a solid budget,” said
VVethington, noting both the
expected state contribution and
the slowed rate of tuition
increase. “Those two facts alone
are what make this a more posi-
tive budget than what you’ve
seen in the past.”

This year’s budget priorities
also placed special emphasis on
undergraduate instruction.

In addition to allocating
merit-based salary increases, the
University plans to increase the
percentage of full—time faculty
teaching lower division sections
to 50 percent by 1996.

Instruction typically gets one
fourth of the udget — more
than any other program —— and
this year is no different. But the
Strategic Plan Progress Report
suggests that this year’s under—
graduates in particular should
notice im rovement within
instructiona programs.

Community colleges troubled still

By Matt Felice
.Vm‘x lid/tor

The UK community college
system felt the first tremors of
enrollment problems in the
199l -92 year when tuition hikes
and lack of state funding caused
enrollment increases to suddenly
slow down. The instability
became more apparent in 1992
and 1994 when enrollment
trends leveled off to a near stand-
still.

Then the bi one hit.

The actua 1994-95 head
count came out 2,819 lower than
projected, and in 1995-96 it is
expected to remain low at around
45 .600 students.

Community College Vice
Chancellor of Business Affairs
Jack Jordan attributes the drop
primarily to the lack of state
funding.

The initial drop in enrollment
created the need for a $1 million
adjustment in the UK budget
meaning that the community
college system is unable to
expand as much as planned.

“We can not stand that kind
of growth in the community col—
lege system,” said UK President

Charles Vl'ethington.

Among 15 benchmark schools
studied by the Southern Region
Education Board, Kentucky’s
community college system
receives the smallest amount of
state and local funding.

“VVe’ve been at the bottom of
that list forever,” he said.

"K 9818 a new chancellor

Zinser to take

over aﬁce j’uly I

By Jennifer Smith

[:11er m (flair/-

After more than 100 apylicant.K and
months of searching, the Lexington
(lampus will ofﬁcially meet its new
chancelloronlul} I.

Elisabeth Zinser, current president
cf the University of Idaho, was
endorsed by CK President (Iharles
\Vethington and presented to the
University's Board of Trustees Tues-
day. The board unanimously
approved Zinser.

She will be the highest—ranking
female ofﬁcial in UK history.

“I add tny strong endorsement for
the job.u said board Chairman and
former Gov. Edward T. “Ned"
Breathitt. “And I add my appreciation
and approval for the job that was done
on this search. \\'e are honored to
have (Zinser) accept this appoint—
ment."

“'ethington appointed an advisory
committee in january after former
chancellor Robert IIemenway was
chosen for the top position at Kansas
University.

As chancellor, Zinser will be
responsible for overseeing the aca-
demic affairs of UK’s 11 colleges and
graduate school. Also, she will oversee
more than 1,000 faculty and staff.

In April, the committee narrowed
its choices down to five. Those five
visited campus and met with more
than 10 assorted campus interest groups including
the advisory committee,

VVethington said the committee and many of the
other 10 groups “overwhelmingly endorsed Zinser
for the position for her energy and enthusiasm."
He said they were also impressed by her adminis—
trative and academic experience.

Before Zinser became oresident at Idaho, she
was vice chancellor for academic academic affairs at
the University of North Carolina,

Zinser isn’t a stranger to the Lexington Campus.
She served as an assistant professor or behavioral
sciences here in the mid-1970s. In conjunction with
that position, she was the coordinator of the Ken—
tucky Area Health Education Systems.

“I've found (Zinser) to be a very warm and car—
ing lady," said Mary Burg, assistant to the chancel-

mats caisr mam”

ELISABETH MSEII was up aimed rbanrellorﬁir the Lexington Cam—
pus Tuesday [{y the Board 0 Tmteex. Belle

lor.

“I think she will be a lot like (Hemenway) was ——
very open door. Students should be very impressed
by er.”

Zinser agreed that her policies are very “open
door.” She said she likes to be available to all stu—
dents.

“The first year I‘m at UK, I'll be doing a lot of
studying and listening," she said.

“I want to et a sense of the culture and get a
closer look at t ings."

Robert Lawson, an advisory committee member
and an assistant to \Vethington, told the board
Tuesday that Zinser was a very qualiﬁed and appro—
priate choice.

“Dr. Zinser has roamed around the country for
20 years and has finally come home." Lawson said.

$800 by paying for former \Vild—
cats’ autographs.

That money, coupled with the
donations received from Friday's
dinner and Saturday’s golf
scramble, put the Basketball
Museum’s fundraising efforts on
track.

“\Ve’re going ahead with our
design work, and we hope to
begin on our schematic and
detail work shortly," Vimont
said.

“As our hmdraising progresses
over the next few months‘ we'll
be looking at a timetable for con—
struction."

Vimont said that UK students
who don’t have the big bucks to
shell out for donations can still
get involved in raising funds for
the museum.

“\Ve always need volunteers
for things, especially during the
(basketball) season when we have
a lot of things going on," she
said.

Vimont even suggested that
UK student groups create their
own fundraising ideas. People
throughout Lexington have
already offered suggestions.

“As long as it doesn't take too
much of our time, it's well
thought out and it's done in good
taste, we welcome fundraising
ideas,” she said.

“Certainly if students wanted
to get involved and some student
groups came up with some good
ideas, we‘d be happy to listen to
them.

“VVe’re always looking for
people who want to be creative
and have good ideas."

the fundraising efforts should

Senior-to-be

still undecided

By Kip Perkins

Sports Editor

Without the presence of pres-
sure in nature, nature could not
produce a diamond.

\Vithout the presence of pres—
sure in basketball, perhaps
Rodrick Rhodes could produce
more on the court. assuring him-
self ofa spot in Round 1 of the
NBA draft.

But like nature. basketball has
its pressures.

The biggest of

these pressures is

the ability to per—
form in the
clutch. when a

tame is on the
Tine or when the
powers at be at
the next level are Rhodes
watching.

The clutch hasn't been too
kind to Rhodes of late, most
recently at the NBA predraft
camp this past weekend in
(Ihicago.

Rhodes was one of eight
underclassmen who participated
in the camp, and he is the only
one who hasn‘t yet signed an
agent.

That means he‘s the only
tinderclassman eligible tr; return
to college if he‘s drafted in an
unfavorable position.

“I don't know what I'm going
to do," Rhodes told (IX-l ruddy.
“If I‘m a No. I pick, I say it's no
question I'm coming out. But if

I’m not a No. 1,
that doesn’t
mean 1’“ auto— 5
matically stay
(in school)."

Some bas-
ketball insiders
think that
Rhodes could
have solidified a
position in the
first round with
a strong perfor-
mance at camp.

Instead, he
made like a
librarian during
the first two
days, turning in
qu1et perfor—
mances.

Things
began to look
up for Rhodes
on the final day
of camp, as he
poured in 21
points.

“It’s a tough
environment to
play in, with so
many coaches
and general

Walker makes 80th team

By Kip Perkins
Sport; Editor

Like many students at the UK, Antoine Walker
will spend the summer working on his resumé.

An impressive freshman campaifgn saw \Valker
take 1995 All-Southeastern Con erence second
team honors, as well as SEC All-Tournament
Team and Tournament MVP honors.

As a result, \Valker was among 80 college stand-
outs selected to tryout for two USA Basketball
teams, in addition to being invited to take part in
the 1995 US. Olympic Festival. .

\Valker was one of only ﬁve players in the
nation who were selected to tryout for both the
1995 USA Alen’s Junior \Vorld Championship
Team and the 1995 USA Men’s World University
Games Team in Colorado Springs last weekend.

This year'sJunior World Championship team is
looking to repeat as gold medal winners and build
on the 1991 team’s perfect 8-0 record, while the
Men’s National Team is seeking its fourth consec-
utive gold at the World University Games.

Walker came up short in his bid for a position
on either team despite a good performance, said
Caroline Williams of USA Basketball.

Instead, he’ll have to settle for a spot on the
Olympic Festival South team.

The tryout consisted of ﬁve sessions throughout
the weekend. Each session began with simple
drills, developin into 10—12 minute scrimmages.

The weeken , Williams said, was a success for
USA Basketball, as the nation’s best oung stars
gathered to compete for spots on t e national
teams. Hopefull , Walker familiarized himself
with the Coloradio Springs area — after all, he’ll
will return there for the U.S. Olympic Festival in
late July.

Walker looks to lead his South team to gold at
the competition under the leadership of Frankie
Allen, head coach at Tennessee State University.

tilt players get a kick out of camp

By Kip Perkins

If ou're looking to run with a
coup e of Cats at Seaton Center
this month, you might have to
put your plans on hold.

After all, Seaton Center will
be packed, and the (Iats will be
busy.

Rick Pitino’s basketball camps
are shiftin into hi h gear this
week, which means general Piti~
no and hundreds of Wildcat
VVanna-bees will be inﬁltrating
campus over the next three
weeks.

This may
sound like boot
camp, but what
do you expect
when someone as
intense as Pitino
is in char e?

“The Eids def— ‘
initely beneﬁt '
when they come Prickatt
to this camp,”
said Jared Prickett, a senior for-
ward.

“At a lot of other camps kids

et off at seven or eight and have
ice time or whatever.

“\Vhenever they come here,
the come to learn and play bas-
ket all.”

And learning and playing bas-
ketball is all the campers have
time to do during their week in
Lexington.

“It’s been great,” said Shaun
Hawkinson, a 17-year-old from
Michigan.

“We’ve learned dribbling,
ball—handling skills, defense,
offense ."

And all of that was in just one
day.
“We have to get up at 7 a.m.;
breakfast is at 7:15 a.m.,”
Hawkinson said. “Last night we
ended at 9:45, lights out at 11

.m.”

Throughout the rest of the
week, Hawkinson and other
campers will have the opportuni-
ty to participate in league com-
petition while learning physical
and mental basketball skills from
some of the nation’s best teach-
ers.

Those teachers include Pitino
and his staff, along with current
Wildcat players and a few former
Wildcat guest lecturers.

NBA players Jamal Mash—

burn, Kenny Walker, Rex Chap—
man and Sam Bowie are sched-
uled as guest lecturers through-
out the month.

Hawkinson likes the players’
and coaches’ lectures, but mostly
he likes playing ball and learning
in an environment where he can
also have fun.

Pitino's cam may sound like
a boot camp an may operate like
one at times, but the bottom line
is fun.

“I just have a lot of fun work-
ing with (the kids),” said Walter
McCarty, a senior forward. “I
want to pass to them some of the
things I know that might help
them.”

If you were to peek in on one
of Pitino’s camps you would ﬁnd
a great variety of sizes and
shapes, as well as a variety of tal—
ent.

Pitino welcomes players of
any skill level with a arantee
that every camper wileilay one
halfof every game, three times a
day.

“I don't know what I like
best,” Prickett said. “I have a
good time teaching the kids. I
really enjoy it.”

As exciting to James as the
empirical growth is, the growth
in spirit of her “Donovans” at
UK and the 14 community col-
leges where the program is insti-
tuted is even more satisfying.

“I have seen a real growth in
the Donovans’ excitement for
life and quest for knowledge,”
James said.

“I have heard the statement
from people that it literally saved

Under the direction of James,

James also served as chair of
the Donovan Advisory Commit-
tee, the decision-making group
comprised of its partici ants.

“This group is the key to the
Donovan’s success and Roberta
understood how to make it
work,” Kuder said.

A top priority for James has
been the expansion of the Dono-
van program at the community
colleges.

At James’ suggestion, a liaison

munity college.

“On the occasion of the 25th

“We now have more than

James’ retirement marks the
passage of 14 years of develop-
ment of both the program and
relationships with scholars.

“I won’t miss the annual

“I’ll miss my daily contact
with the Donovans and the larg-

Orientation starts next week

Soon the campus will be ﬁlled
with anxious freshman and their
parents ﬁnding their way around
campus and planning fall sched-
ules.

Summer advising conferences
begin Monday.

This is the ﬁrst ear the advis-

ing conferences will be a two—day
session.
The will run through July 28
and will, on average, consist of
250 to 280 new students along
with their parents.

“The average student brings
one and a half parents (statistical-
ly) to the conference,” said
Tammy Care of the advising
conference 0 cc.

That 2gives a grand total of

around 6 people on campus for

[:1

each two day session.

Advising conferences have a
lot in store for the incoming
freshman.

The conference offers place-
ment exams, registration, two
advising sessions, information on
ﬁnancial aid, question and
answer sessions with students
and faculty, campus tours and all
kinds of information on majors
and career choices.

The greatest beneﬁt the
incoming students will receive is
that they will register for classes
and receive two sessions with an
adviser on what classes to take.

Another beneﬁt of the advis-
ing conference is that the stu-
dents and their arents will have
a chance to tal with UK stu—
dents.

There are 15 student assis-
tants at each conference who do

everything from handing out
brochures to participating on
student panels.

The student panels are ques-
tion and answer sessions for stu-
dents as well as parents, separate
and together.

“Instead of reading facts from
a book,” said student team leader
Sarah Bonewitz, “we give our
experiences as students.”

The 15 students who will
assist in the advising conference
are a diverse group with different
majors and home states, and they
are at different levels in their aca-
demic careers.

They range from sophomores
to recent aduates.

“The st thing about the
summer advising conference is
that the new students feel more
ready to start in the fall,”
Bonewitz said.
