Housing, aid can be found
for help, UK officials say

if Lisa (“iurts had stayed at {K just one
more day. officials say. she could have re
ceived help

Faculty. students and Lexington resi~
dents offered aSSistance in housmg and
money to (‘ourts. who had arrived at tTK
late Friday afternoon only to find that
housing had no record of her

(‘hester Grundy. director of minority stu-
dent affairs. said that although the situa—
tion with Lisa was "very unfortunate." it
may help in domg something for future
students

tor Lisa .
tirun-

The “outpouring of concern
has been really very encouraging. '
dy said

But Lisa didn‘t stay

Overwhelmed and tired. Lisa returned to
her Maybeury. W Va, home where she
still is a little sick. according to her moth-
er. Aleise She won't be coming back to
(K. her mother said. but Lisa will go to
school somewhere eventually

Lisa (‘ourts is an extraordinary case.
according to [K officials. and one that
should not hurt 1K in its recruitment of
minority students

"It has the potential of generating a per-
ception among blacks that this is a very
impersonal situation for black youngsters
to be sent into." Stevens said.

The same question was asked after a ra»
eial remark by tormer Gov AB. ”Happy”
Chandler at a Board of Trustees meeting
last April. Stevens said. But the incoming
minority freshmen increased from 76 last
year to i2? this year

The problem. Stevens said. is that many
people come to UK each semester in need
of immediate assistance in the form of
money or housing.

People. whom Jerry Stevens. director of
minority operations. said "fall
throughi the cracks "

Each semester he sees at least a dozen
cases in his department alone where assis-
tance is needed immediately. Stevens said.
"Students through no fault of their own are
confronted With situations they don't know
how to handle." Stevens said.

Many students get caught up in the hu-
reaucracy. Stevens said. Several things
can happen. Financial aid applications get
lost. computer errors are made or letters
are sent out late in processing information
to students. he said.

t'K officials admit a bureaucracy eXists
for students who need help. but assistance
is available.

The process for getting financ1al aid is
huge. according to Judith Marshall. asSis»
tant to the Vice chancellor for administra~
tiori. But students can be helped.

For instance. L'K‘s finanCial aid depart~
ment has set up an agreement with Uni~
versity Bookstore for students to charge
their books.

Marshall said financial aid can give stu«
dents short~term. small loans in emergen-
cysituations.

To try and help students before they get
to t'K. the financial aid department writes
students before they come to school. adVis-
ing them to bring money to tide them over
until their financial aid is released. said
Davtd Stockham. director of financial aid.

Phi Kappa Psi fraternity
gets long-awaited charter

ELIZABETH WADE
Staff Writer

Establishing a new fraternity and get-
ting members to _]0ln it is a hard job.

Just ask the members of Phi Kappa Psi.
l'K's newest fraternity.

After a three-year wait for a charter. the
fraternity became Kentucky Beta chapter
of Phi Kappa PSI on April 23 this year

Phi Psi is one of 19 fraternities on L'K‘s
campus

”Phi Kappa PSi has been on campus
since 1982 or 1988. but they disbanded after
two years and another group started it
over in the fall of 1985.” said Randal Ste~
vens. Phi Psi president

The first group of Phi PSi’s at [K did
not succeed and the Phi PSi alumns were
skeptical when another group wanted to
start a second colony and work toward a
charter. members said.

In order to receive a charter. Phi PSi
had to meet certain criteria and gain the
respect the first group had lost.

This group has proven themselves to UK
and their nationals by meeting their crite-
ria and winning several awards on cam-
pus. members said. Phi Psi won the
Dean's (‘up for highest effort and best atti»
tude.

The fraternity as a whole had to achieve

 

“We're hoping to get our
numbers up to 60 this year.
We had 36 members return
from last year . "

Phi Kappa Psi president
_

an average. cumulative grade point aver-
age of 2.5. and have 45 members. which is
the campus average. The chapter only had
35 members. but it was awarded a charter
anyway because it was “so solid." mem-
bers said.

The fraternity received letters of appro-
val from Micahel Palm. assistant dean of
students. the lnterfraternity Councd and
the Panhellinic Council.

“Dean Palm was very instrumental in
getting us here." said Stevens. “Palm was
friends with a lot of guys at nationals and
that helped us a lot

Finally. a house was needed in order to
be granted a charter. The Phi Psi alumn
Housing Corporation provided the fratemi-
ty with the funding for the house. located
at 447 Columbia Ave. the former Tau
Kappa Epsilon house.

in Lisa s case. however. she had not ad
yanced registered so there was no record
ot her with the llniverSity. said ”and
Stockham. director of financial aid

"We can do a good Job with people who
advance register and have a completed ap—
plication." he said. For those students who
don't advance register and need help
its a difficult time for them.”

Those students may have to wait one to
two weeks to receive their financial aid. he
said. so the tTniversuy can‘t release funds
to them early because it' an error is made
in federal financial aid such :is W“
Grants. "the lTniverSIty has to pick up the
difference.”
