telltale signs that you
are around a college
campus. Besides the
fact that you see
panhandlers and
college students
working the same
corners, there are
always the people
who have already sold
their books back and
are asking it they can
pawn their high school
ring for more than
$10. Here are some
other ways you know
you are a broke
college student.

You ask a bartender to
give you a dollar for
four quarters just so
you don't look stupid
giving your server
$2.50 worth of
change.

You don't sell your
plasma for the money;
you do it for the food!

You have more part-time
jobs than thumbs and
need another one.

You pick up a whole stack
of Kernels to burn in
your fireplace to keep
warm every night.
Worse yet, the ones
you don't burn you try
to sell downtown for
$.25 each.

You drink Natural Light.
Enough said.

You seriously considered
the viability of living
off tofu, Ramen
noodles and stolen
ketchup packets and
crackers.

You have used the
restrooms on campus
for the sole purpose
of taking toilet paper
for home use (this is
not looked upon
highly by the
University, or the
people who use the
facilities after you.
Think about that for a
second and it will be
funny.)

You have experimented
with the right
proportions of
ketchup packets, salt
and hot water to
make the "perfect"
tomato soup.

You have asked for
estimates on what it
would take to install a
stove, showerhead
and toilet into your
Honda Civic with the

nice rims.

The weekend is no longer
a good thing because
you can't turn the
heat down when you
are at class.

You have asked people
how much they would
give you for your
shoes, belt, nose ring.
etc.

Outraged students speak at trial

Fl'ustrated: Students for and against the removal of SGA President Jimmy
Glenn voice their opinions on his censure; Glenn says he is ready to move on

By Lamin Swann
ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR

Several students dying to voice
their opinions about the censure of
Student Government Association
President Jimmy Glenn were given
the opportunity to erupt Wednes-
day on the Senate floor.

The majority of unsolicited out-
bursts during the trial were frotn
supporters of Glenn.

A group of about 15 students
spoke to the Senate. giving their re-
action to the trial after the Senate
decided to censure Glenn and have
him write letters of apology to rev
cipients of the Spring 2000 (‘hild
Care Grants.

One student felt that the large
audience observing the trial influ-
enced some SGA senators' votes.

"1 am ashamed that you were
influenced." said Nic Wilson. a po
litical science junior.

“Those who were not, I applaud
you."
Former SGA senator Keisha
Carter was upset to see the SGA
Senate come to this point.

“It hurts my heart that this has
to happen," Carter said. (‘arter uni
successfully ran against Glenn in
the 2000 election for president.

Another student said the Sen-
ate did not seek input frotn the stu-
dent body in the form of focus
groups or surveys before putting
the SGA president on trial.

SGA senators gave opinions all
ter the trial concluded.

“lt's bull to censure Jimmy."
Sen. Tasha Neal said. who was in
favor of removing Gletin frotn otiice
rather than censuring him.

(‘ommunications senior .lohn-
ny (‘ollas addressed his comments
to Sen. Jackie Russell. who spoke
emotionally about Glenn taking
over the crosswalk project on

 

W

Keeneland Drive. a project she had
been working on for two years.

Russell. who spoke frequently
through the night. was a strong sup
porter and advocated removing
Glenn frotn office and putting Vice
President Atnanda Holloway in his
seat.

“I disagree on almost all you
said (tonight). but when you gave
your emotional plea. I agreed with
you." (‘ollas said.

After the trial adjourned in the
morning hours Glenn commented
on the outcome and the large num~
ber of students attending.

"I'm pleased with the outcome
and appreciate all of the students
support.” he said.

Glenn also said he hopes there
is a way to bury the hatchet with
the Senate and the organization
overall. "I'm willing to sit down
with the Senate and work to unify
the student government."

News tips”

Q: Students have criticized President Wethington for
not interacting with them. Many students. when asked.
are not even sure what his name is or what he looks like. If
you were hired as president. what efforts would you make
to have a more interactive relationship with the students?

A: I would be very visible on campus. I think it is very
important that students see their president walking from.
say, Maxwell Place to the Administration Building. just
like any normal person. As president. I would have a goal
of visiting each college and in doing so I would expect to
see students. Planned meetings with students would be
possible, but I am typically e-mail accessible. I think I
would have a lot of fun having meetings with students.

Q: Many students expressed concerns at the presiden-
tial search forums about the growth of our university.
Many feel there are too many buildings and not enough
green space. How would you deal with this issue? Are you
supportive of campus growth. and if so. how do you pro-
pose that we do have enough green space on campus?

A: There is a need to have classrooms for the students
and space for research to be done. But I would have to look
at campus plans to see what green space there is and what
is needed. You can't stop all growth and expansion, but
you need to keep the green space issue in mind.

Q: Many students on our campus feel very strongly
about UK’s involvement with the Fair Labor Association.
Sweatshop issues are very important to these students and
there has been a committee formed to investigate the FLA
and decide on a possible switch to the Workers‘ Rights
Consortium. What is your position on sweatshop issues A:
and would you be supportive of making a switch to anoth~

er watchdog organization?

A: I would be willing to sit down with the committee to
discuss the issue. Human rights are a major issue. and I
would have a lot of input. I would want to have a student
forum so things like this don't boil. I am a firm believer in
open communication so a problem like this doesn‘t bubble

up to a major event.

Q: What would your goals be for our university? What
are some problem areas that you would like to remedy as

president?

A: I would like to get some intellectual sparks flying.
Get a sense on campus that there is something going on. I
would like to create a sense of a common vision. Having
everybody able to say what it means to be a top-20 univer-
sity. so we know what we‘re here to do. Hiring top~notch
faculty and retaining existing faculty. Continuing to im-

in the Worsham Theater.

the l'iniversity of Iowa. spent
Thursday meeting and con-
versing with faculty mem-
bers. students and alumni at
13K.

There was a considerable
increase in
students that attended Thurs-
day‘s session with Wliitmore

more said students could on
gage in a foureyear contract
for graduation. In the con
tract. Whitmore said. fresh
men who want to graduate in
four years agree to take 1:116
credit hours a semester. The
university then agrees to en
sure the student is able to
get the classes they need to
graduate.

"It's a two~way partner-
ship." Whitmore said. “Stu-
dents agree to stick to it. and
we agree to offer the courses.“

Several students asked
Whitmore about the campus
alcohol policy. Whitmore
said alcoholfree is a fairly
standard policy on most col
lege campuses. and that there
was a general trend in that
direction among college cam-
puses across the country.
Whitmore ended by saying he
didn‘t have enough informa
tion to make a judgement.
but that he would be willing
to sit down and talk about it
with students.

Meeting with students.
Whitinore said. was an ims
poriant part of being the pres-
ident ofa large university.

If chosen. he said he
would be willing to meet with
a group of student represen-
tatives. a task he already
does three times a semester
at 1‘1,

But some students did
not think meeting with only
representatiyes would be
enough.

after the session, “If you do
that. you‘re going to miss
20.000 people."

()ther students at the
gathering said Whitmore's
responses seemed “realis-
tic." and that he appeared
approachable.

At the end of the session.
Whitmore said he was
pleased with the student
turnout and the thoughtful»
ness of the questions He also
said he had enjoyed his day.
which began at 7:30 ant.
even though it had been
somewhat tiring.

“I will probably collapse

Q&A

Continued from page I

prove student quality. Mak-
ing it the place to be for kids
in Kentucky that are going to
go to college. Increasing di-
versity. The research dollars
are clearly the place where
you climb the ladder. We
need to be able to go to our
congressman and say we
need federal facilities to do
research. I would want to
spend time in Washington in
conjunction with other uni-
versity presidents to say that
we the leaders of the academ-
ic institutions want to have a
federal investment in our
students‘ education.

Q: How do you feel about
L'K's goal to become a top-20
research university? How
would you maintain quality
of the undergraduate studies
program with our mission to
become a top-20 research
university?

A: I would personally put
an emphasis on undergradu»
ate studies. I enjoyed it my—
self and it is an important
part of retaining students.
One thing I have found is
that those professors who are
actively involved in research
are the best teachers. I think
the goal is achievable and it
can be done in steps. UK al-
ready has some departments
in top-20 categories. I think
becoming top 20 is important
for Kentucky in order to
change the state and help us
move toward a better
lifestyle for all our residents.
The first thing we need to do
is set specific goals to
achieve that ranking and
start measuring ourselves
against that goal. If we were
to put our total focus on just
getting research dollars and
we have not changed the
lives and the per capita in-
come of the inhabitants of
Kentucky then I don't think
we‘ve achieved our mission.

Q: A former member of
UK‘s football staff recently
admitted that he committed

two NCAA violations and
there are now investigations
taking place. Do the internal
investigations of our football
staff make you apprehensive
about coming to UK?

A: No. My fundamental
belief is that you‘ve got to be
compliant first and competi-
tive second. It is something
as president you know you
may have to deal with. but
you‘ve got to be clean. It is
just part of the job.

Q: What personal quali-
ties do you feel best qualify
you for the job?

A: I have a history of vi-
sion and the ability to con-
vert that vision into results.
Being able to work with peo-
ple. Communication skills A
my style is to get everybody‘s
opinion and then pull the
opinions on in to guide those
decisions. Hard work. Pas-
sion. The ability to work
with a political environment.
The ability to grow the com-
panies that I have is based on
the concept of hiring really
good. strong people and giv-
ing them the flexibility to do
their jobs so they have the
ability to do their jobs. My
goal is to go find the re-
sources to help them do their
jobs. If you're going to grow
any institution you have to
hire very strong people. find
resources and give them psy-
chological support to grow.

Q: UK is known in Ken-
tucky as a “best buy" for a
college education because of
our low in-state tuition rates.
Are you a supporter of annu~
a1 tuition hikes? Why or why
not?

A: I don‘t think you
should have anything annu-
al. Tuition raises should be
based on needs of the institu-
tion. There are needs that
may call for increases, but in
a state such as Kentucky you
should make all efforts to
keep tuition as affordable as
possible and raise prices
when you have to. It is a
good bargain now. You just
need to do the analysis to see
what you need to do. You
shouldn’t use tuition as poli~
cy for selectivity.

Cabbies
take class
in etiquette

TRENTON, N.J. - Cab
drivers here may
soon have to know
more than just the
rules of the road.
They'll have to know

proper etiquette, too.

City ofliCials are
consrdering tougher
rules for cabbies.
including a
mandatory class on
how to be more
polite to customers.

The proposal follows a
stream of complaints
about messy cabs
and rude drivers.

-PHOT0 FURNISHED
Politeness is
on the move.

The City also wants to
Improve taXI serVIce
before a new
Marriott hotel and
conference center
opens next year.

“We want to make
sure people's first
impressmn IS a good
one." CounCil
Presrdent Frank A.
Cirillo said.

Mother sells
toys to
teach lesson

MEDFORD. Ore. - it may
not have been cruel,
but it sure was
unusual punishment.

The mother of a 9-year-
old girl who pressed
her foot and hand
prints into some
freshly poured
concrete sold the
girl's toys at a
garage sale to pay
for the damages.

Merrie Bechtold said she
sent her daughter to
apologize to the
construction crew.
but when she
returned. the
girl wasn’t
exactly humbled

-PHOT0 FURNISHED
Be nice or the
dolly gets it.

“She was a little cocky
about it," her mother
said. "And I thought,
she doesn't get it,
she hasn't learned
the lesson."

So Bechtold placed a
newspaper ad
announcmg the
so-called
"consequence sale"
— which angered
other parents.

“There was public
outrage," said
Bechtold, adding that
the sale drew pity
toward her daughter
from many of those
who came. "They
would say things
like, ‘Oh, you poor
little thing.“

The sale raised $440 of
the $640 needed to
pay the contractor.

Bechtold said her
daughter had
outgrown many of
the items, like
bicycles and clothing.

Glenn's censure by
SGA is just another
political "witch hunt"

To the Editor:

.lttiiiiiy Glenn is an ey 1]. back
stabbing and deceptiye man. or so
the Student Government ;\.sslit‘l.’l
ttoii Senate yvould have you be
lime (in Wednesday night atid
into ’l‘liursday morning members
of the Senate debated and battled

over the future political career of

Jimmy Glenn here at l'K. The
meeting. which continued for over
the hours. yyas one of the single
most horrendous events I have
ever seen iii my life.

Never haye I seen so much
bickering. lighting. feuding. name

calling. yelling and displayitig of

obscene gestures duritig any kitid
of government meeting,

The Senate shocked me as well
as most other audience members
with their obvious lack ol‘cty ility
toyyai‘d (ilt‘llll. the audience atid
even themselves

.-\t'ter the cases were argued
and much debated. the Senate
found Glenn guilty ol~ all charges.

Yes. Jimmy Gleiiti made tnistakes.
People make mistakes especially
when they are given so much re
sponsibility'. l was not at all sur-
prisetl by the verdict. Glenn's case
fell on deaf ears; the Senate had
made itp its mind over a month
ago. How do I know‘.’ A yvritten.
typed and mass produced tiiotioti
dealing with Glenn's punishment
yyas passed out immediately after
the verdict was given. How did the
Senate know what the verdict
\yould lie" Simple. 'l‘he senators
had already made tip their iiiitids.

They were not an impartial

piry. Hut yyliat l was surprised

about yyas the driving factor lie-
liiiid the entire proceeding. it be
came evident that many members
of the Senate pushed fot‘ the re-
tiioval of l ilenn to avenge personal
y’eiidettas or grudges against him.
