Fmr. governor wants
to discuss reform issues

By GREGORY A. HALL
Associate Editor

and BRIAN BENNETT
Staff Writer

Former Gov. Wallace Wilkinson
began his push to reform higher ed-
ucation at yesterday's Board of
Trustees meeting.

Although his December self-
appointrnent was met with rancor,
yesterday's call to discuss higher
education issues was met favorably
by UK faculty and administrative
leaders.

Wilkinson gave board members a
five-page memorandum outlining
11 points he said he feels need to be
addressed.

UK President Charles Wething-
ton said he would make a report to
the board at its May meeting re-
garding Wilkinson‘s points.

Wilkinson's concerns center
around four primary issues: the riso
ing cost of a college education, high
dropout rates, accountability for
money spent on human and finan-
cial resources and a lack of impor-
tance on teaching.

"We can choose to ignore these
issues," Wilkinson said. “We can
choose to set them aside and hope
that they will simply go away. Or
we can begin now to find ways that
the University can meet the imme-
diate challenges."

A number of trustees reacted fa-
vorably to the proposed debate.

“These problems cannot be ig-
nored by the board," said W.E. Bur-
nett, acting chairman at the meeting

Senator
proposes
new body
for SGA

Staff reports

The Student Government Associ-
ation Senate will debate a proposed
amendment tonight that could
change the entire structure of the or-
ganization.

The amendment, sponsored by
College of Agriculture Senator Tod
Griffin, asks for the creation of a
house of representatives within
SGA.

The house would consist of a rep-
resentative from each registered-
organization in the Student Organi-
zations Assembly that contains 20
or more registered members.

Griffin said the new branch was
suggested to help increase student
representation “as a result of con-
cerns by students about their inter-
ests just weren‘t being met by
SGA.“

The new branch would not have
the power to enact legislation, but
instead give approval or disapprov-
al of all legislation before it goes to
the SGA Senate floor.

“The house will give students di-
rect representation —- a direct voice
in the legislative process. whereas
through SOA students have to go
through a mediator, the SOA presi-
dent," he said.

Griffin said in the past students‘
needs haven't always been met
through SOA, but it would still be
there for groups fewer than 20
members.

Griffin said the amendment will
be debated tonight at the SGA sen-
ate meeting in 206 Student Center.
All students are encouraged to at-
tend the meeting to voice their
thoughts on the measure, he said.

For more information call the
SGA office at 257-1915.

in the absence of Foster Ockerrnan.

Faculty trustees Raymond Belts
and Carolyn Bratt also said they
were hopeful. but did not comment
on the specifics in Wilkinson's
memorandum.

“l think what he asked as a mem-
ber of the board was certainly ap-
propriate," said Betts, a history pro-
fessor.

“Now there’s a chance for the fa-
culty to begin to work with the gov-
ernor and anybody else who has
ideas on how to improve the quality
of education." Bratt said. “As long
as we were being accused of some-
how malingering or not doing our
job i think it was impossible for us
to open up a dialogue. I was very
pleased with the tone of what he
had to say."

Wethington said many of Wilkin-
son‘s concerns are addressed in the
University‘s Strategic Plan — a
book of long-term goals and plans
for the institution.

Wethington said his report to the
board in May will “show how much
of Gov. Wilkinson‘s agenda has al-
ready been addressed in our overall
goals and objectives.“

However, after the meeting Wil-
kinson disagreed. “I do believe
that some of the concerns in this
document are in fact being ad-
dressed" but “not all of“ them, he
said.

Wethington said UK should re-
view and revise its Strategic Plan as
scheduled during the 1992-93
school year. And he said he saw

UK President (‘harlcs Wething-

terday that the impending budget
cuts may help UK in the future.

"(‘uts of this magnitude can be
devastating but it does give the
University an opportunity to rccx-

“I‘m confident this activity will

Btit Wethington tidtnittcd the
$26.4 million budget rcduction over
the next two academic years will
cause major changes in the status

“We cannot go on doing lhc
kinds of things we've been doing at
the level we‘ve been doing them.“
he said.

Wethington said he hopes to
avoid layoffs. but did not guzirtintcc
there won’t be any.

"'lhis place is so dependent on

WKQQ to rock and roll up its sleeves for blood

By KYLE FOSTER
News Editor

Party time!

Everyone is welcome, but it's
B.Y.O.B.

Bring your own blood to Pint
Party '92.

The 12th annual party begins to-
day at in the Kirwan-Blanding
Complex Commons. where students
can roll up their sleeves to save
lives and win prizes.

“In this area —— Central Kentucky
— we are not donating enough
blood to take care of our patients,"
said Trina Hembree. director of
public relations for the Central Ken-
tucky Blood Center.

Hembree said CKBC hopes to
collect 400 pints of blood on cam-

pus today and tomorrow. UK stu-
dents donated 353 pints at last
year's Pint Party.

“Blood donations on campus
have been decreasing, and in the
long mn, that could literally mean
the loss of lives. Sometimes it
gets down to a situation we just
don't have the blood," she said.

Added tests cmeute to the
smaller number of donors. Hembree
said. Along with the seven tests al-
ready in use, the CKBC recently
added two tests — an HIV II and a
second-generation hepatitis test.

“The tests increase the safety of
the blood supply, but sometimes a
test comes back false positive
and we tell the donor," Hembree
said.

“Our tests are so sensitive, sorne-

thing as simple as what you ate that
day can make the test positive.
Once a person tests positive. they
cannot domte again, so we lose
about 1 percent of our donors every
time we add a test."

Lexington‘s WKQQ-FM radio
station will rock and roll up its
sleeves along with co-sponsors Chi
Omega social sorority, Lambda Chi
Alpha social fraternity and the Resi-
dence Hall Association.

Double Q will broadcast live
from the Commons and hold a
drawing for passes to Kings Island
amusement park.

Hembree said Chi Omega and
Lambda Chi Alpha are responsible
for recruiting members of their so-
cial groups to donate, helping publi-
cize and registering people for and

prizes at the donor site.

“We're kind of conoemed be-
cause this week is Greek Week.
About half of what is donated
comes from greeks," she said.
“We're hoping people participate in
both Greek Week and Pint Party."

Partying students also will be eli-
gible to win a portable compact disc
player and other door prizes. Frater-
nities and sororities are competing
for a participation award and resi-
dence halls are vying for a pizza
party, compliments of Pizza Hut.
All participants will receive a care
package.

An alternate donation sire is the
Lexington Donor Center, 330 Wall-
er Ave. The center is open 9 a.nt to
9 pm daily.

 

Trustees

until just before the board meets in
June. But one of the areas likely to
see cuts is the administration.

“It is incumbent upon me to turn
first to the administration of the
University to determine if, in fact,
they can support our programs
but be operated at reduced levels,”
he said.

He said he will meet with various
administrators to decide which pro-
grams should be cut and how. but
he also warned that all programs
would be affected in some way.

“Every part of the University will
be pinched. That is inevitable. It‘s
too severe for them not to be
pinched," he said.

Wethington said recommending
higher tuition rates would be a “last
resort," because he claimed tuition
increases are “inevitable" anyway.

Any increase in tuition would

have to be mandated by the Council
on Higher Education, the body that
sets tuition for the eight state uni-
versities.

Wethington said he also plans to
continue the current hiring freeze
and called any chances for salary
raises for faculty “highly unlikely."

In other action, the Board of
Tmstees also approved a policy for
spending income from mining and
timber sales in outer tracts of UK‘s
Robinson Forest. UK has sold the
rights to mine several tracts of land
in the outer reaches of the Eastern
Kentucky research forest to Ad-
dington Resources.

“It does not provide for the ex-
penditure of any dollars for any
specific project," Wethington said.
This is the framework within
which we will make decisions.“

The policy was taken “directly
out of the language of the (E0.
Robinson Mountain Fund) trust,"
Wethington said.

The trust requires UK to use any

tain region.

Wethington said that income
from the timber and mining would
not be used to replace University
resources.

“It is an excellent opportunity for
this University to do things for Fast
Kentucky," Wethington said.

The trustees also approved hono-
rary degrees for medical pioneer
Claire Louise Caudill and retired
English professor and author Guy
M. Davenport Jr.

Caudill will receive an honorary
doctorate in science for her work in
health care in Kentucky, while Dav-
enport will be awarded an honorary
doctorate of letters for his creative
writing and tenure as a UK profes-
sor. The degrees will be awarded at
UK’s commencement ceremony on
May 9.

Caudill spearheaded the drive to
bring a hospital to Rowan County.
Named in honor of her, St. Claire
hospital, founded in 1963, now also
serves as a training ground for UK
College of Medicine graduates.

Born in Morehead, Ky., Caudill
graduated from Ohio State Univer-

sity.before earning her master's de-
gree from Columbia University and
completing her studies at the Uni-
versity of Louisville’s College of
Medicine in 1946.

 

 

 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
   
 
 
   
   
  
   
  
 
   
   
  
   
   
 
  
  
  
  
 
   
   
   

 

 

Two years later, she returned to

family medicine, becoming only the
fourth doctor in the community. In
1957, she opened a birth clinic in
Morehead. Caudill is said to have
delivered over 8,000 babies in her
career. Upon his retirement as Eng-

had assembled an impressive list of
published stories and awards, in-
cluding the MacArthur fellowship
given to him last year which gave
him $365,000 over five years.

The two candidates also dis-

cussed taxes. Bush favors reform-
ing the Social Security program by
making it a progressive tax.

Gailey, on the other hand, recom-

mends scrapping the program so
that people can place their money
elsewhere.

“I see it as a total fraud. The eld-

erly should sue the government (for
the way they have been treated),"
he said.

Bush refuted that idea, saying,

“We had the free market and most
of the elderly were poor and desti-
tute. I want to keep the system, but
change how we pay for it."

Both candidates agreed on what

Gailey called “the decriminalization
of all victimless crimes."

They argued for the legalization

of marijuana and believe that harder
drugs should be legalized but con-
trolled by the government.

Gailey likened the drug war to
“the Salem witch hunt. Between the
IRS and the DEA they have
slaughtered the Bill of Rights.”

When Bush suggested a 75 per-
cent cut in the defense budget and
called armed forces overseas “mer-
cenaries," he drew fire from a vete-
ran in the audience.

Bush defended his statement by
saying: “We do not need to be over
there. (Foreign countries) can take
me of themselves and it’s about
time they start doing it."

Calling the increasing cost of
higher education “outrageous,"
Bush suggested Americans follow
the European example by offering
college at no cost to students. Col-
lege would be funded by cuts in the
defense budget.

Gailey‘s solution was to privatize
the system. “The public scth sys-
tem is such a failure that the corpo-
rate sector is going to take them
over."

vania law that imposes a 24-hour
waiting period and requires a bus-
band be notified.

Reiterating a position it has taken
in previous cases. the Justice De-
partment said Monday that the 1973
Roe vs. Wade decision was wrong-
ly decided and should be set aside.

The friend-of-the-court brief by

Solicitor General Kenneth W. Starr

asked the court to consider overrul-
ing Roe vs. Wade in reviewing the
Pennsylvania law, which requires a
woman seeking an abortion to wait
24 hours and for married women to
notify their husbands before having
the abortion.

Even if it doesn‘t specifically
overturn the 1973 precedent, the
Justice Department said the high
court should make clear that wom-
en do not have a fundamental right
to obtain an abortion under the
Constitution.

By JOHN KELLY
Assistant Sports Editor

Pookie Jones displayed his arm
strength many times on the grass of
Commonwealth Stadium while
qtnnerbacking the UK football
team last fall.

Yesterday afternoon at Shively
Field. Jones made UK coach Keith
Madison‘s preseason warnings
come true by demonstrating that his
arms are just as strong when they're
gripping an aluminum bat as when
he’s got hold of a football.

Jones smacked two home runs
and a double, walked twice and
drove in five runs to lead an explo-
sive UK offensive attack as the Bat
Cats downed Kentucky State 16-5
yesterday. All totalled. UK tallied
14 hits. including three home runs.
Jeff Norman had the third UK home
run. a two—run shot in the eighth in-
ning.

Jones, a redshirt freshman. hasn‘t
played quite the same type of role
for the Bat Cats as he‘s accustomed

to with the football team. He serves
as a utility outfielder for Madison's
club.

“I’m just glad I got a chance to
get in the game and get my hac
he said. “I just took my cuts. We
are capable of doing this. This is an
exciting team to be on because we
do put up so many runs."

Jones was less titan perfect in the
right field. though. He played two
balls well. but misplayed two others
and he was the first to admit his
mistakes.

“I missed a couple balls out there
that I shouldn’t have, but I was hap-
py with myself because I didn‘t get
all frustrated with myself and I'm
usually really hard on myself," he
said. “It just feels good. I feel really
good out there. I feel at home.
That's the key -— to be comfortable
at your position."

Madison said he is slowly nurtur-
ing Jones through his freshman year
and compared his situation with Bat
Cats to his situation early last fall
with Bill Curry‘s football team.

“You don't want to bring a fresh-
man along too fast and throw him
into things too quick. We’re bring-
ing Pookie along gradually and he
seems to be getting better every
week. He's still got a lot of work to
do defensively. but his hitting has
improved. He‘s making contact bet-
ter. His defense is going to continue
to improve too. We‘re just excited
he’s out here with us."

UK starting pitcher Jason Jenkins
escaped some first inning bumbling
with minimal damage. Kentucky
State’s Keith Reed led off the in-
ning by beating out a high bouncer
in the infield for a base hit. Reed
advanced to second when Jenkins
overthrew first baseman Jeff Nor-
man on an attempted pickoff play
and moved to third on a sacrifice
bunt. Jenkins’ wild pitch allowed
Reed to cross the plate to give KSU
it‘s only lead of the game, 1-0.

But UK quickly came to Jenkins‘
aid with a six-run inning in the bot-
tom half of the first. After KSU
starting pitcher Mike Soutltwortlt

walked the first two batters. Jeff
Abbott doubled to scme Jeff Mi-
chael from second base. Norman's
sacrifice fly brought Max Reitz
home and Greg Mercer's run scor-
ing single made the score 3-1, set-
ting the stage for Jones‘ first home
run. Jones poked a Southwonh fast
ball over the fence in right center
field to put UK ahead 64.

KSU scored in the top of the sec-
ond inning on a Reed single that
scored Andy Andre from second.
UK upped the lead to five runs in
the fourth inning when Brad Hin-
dersman doubled home Jones. who
had doubled to lead off the inning.
KSU's David Carnmack walked
and later scored on a Donald Perry
single in the fifth to bring the score
to a still respectable 7-3.

UK scored once in the fifth in-
ning before delivering the knock-
out blow to the "Thorobreds in the
bottom of the sixth.

Clemens not enough for Boston; Yanks win 4-3

By BEN WALKER
Associated Press

NEW YORK — Someday, Roger
Clemens may actually get so good
that he goes through an entire sea-
son without losing a game. This,
though, will not be that season.

Clemens began his bid for a
fourth Cy Young Award with a de-
feat yesterday when the New York
Yankees rewarded their biggest
crowd since 1980 with big hits to
beat the Boston Red Sox and their
ace 4-3.

Robeno Kelly drove in three
runs, free agent Danny Tartabull
drove in the other and Don Matting-
ly singled three times to rally the
Yankees past Clemens.

“It was pretty much a typiml Red
Sox-Yankees game. A tight one.
We just came up a little short." Cle-
mens said. “But. it’s just one
game.”

Clemens, coming off a season in
which he again was voted the AL's
best pitcher, pitched the whole way,
popping catcher Tony Pena's mitt
most of the afternoon. But he

walked the first hatter he faced this
year. costing him a run. and later
was unable to hold a 2-1 lead.

"The first inning, l was just try-
ing to get zoned in,“ said Clemens,
who had a 5.10 ERA in spring
training. “I felt fine. My velocity
was real good and I felt real
strong.“

Kelly‘s two-run double and 'l'ar-
tabull‘s RBI single came during a
sixth-inning comeback, giving
Buck Showalter a victory in his ma-
jor league debut. Boston manager
Butch llobson. meanwhile. lost his

first game.

“I don‘t want to make too big a
deal out of this one.“ Showalter
said.

In fact, Showalter was the only
one of the Yankees who did not
bolt from the dugout onto the field
when the game ended. Instead. he
stayed put. taking in the whole
scene.

Clemens gave up eight hits.
struck out five and walked one in
his first-ever loss on opening day.
