Officials say budget may force loss of faculty

By JAY BLANTON
Executive Editor

Malcolm Jewell, chairman of the
University‘s political science depart-
ment, wants to conduct interviews
soon to fill faculty vacancies. But
now Jewell doesn‘t know if he‘ll be
able to.

And even if he could, Jewell is just
not sure what he would say.

It‘s hard to talk to prospective fac-
ulty with a “straight face" about the
University because of the budget sit-
uation, Jewell said. “Some of the
best faculty are going to be lured
away."

The reason for Jewell's and many
other faculty members‘ dilemma is
money _ or the lack of it.

In his budget released Wednesday
night. Gov. Wallace Wilkinson out«
lined what will be essentially no in-
crease in state funding for state uni-
versities in the 1988-89 fiscal year
and just a 5-percent increase in the
fiscal year 1989-90.

That budget outlook paints a dim
picture for UK over the biennium,

 

 

according to several
deans.

“If this budget is the one that's
adopted by the legislature, there is
absolutely nothing for faculty salary
increases,“ said Jewell, who is rec-
ognized for his research in legis-
lative process. Jewell believes that
it could be the first time in his 30
years at UK that there hasn't been
an increase in faculty salaries.

Faculty and staff salaries at UK
average some $3.700 behind the av-
erage salary at its benchmark insti-
tutions. If more cuts in funding pre-
vent UK from making up this
difference, many of UK‘s best fac-
ulty could leave.

”We‘re going to lose some top fac-
ulty.“ said Ray Bowen. dean of
UK's College of Engineering. “Our
faculty is greatly underpaid.“

University

Jewell, however. pointed out that
the governor‘s budget is not guar-
anteed passage.

Twenty years ago, Jewell said, the
legislature would have looked at the
budget, “said ‘yes sir‘ and passed
it.“

There is a better chance today
than there was 24 hours ago that the
legislature will increase taxes, Jew-
ell said. It is the only way this bud-
get will be improved.

If the budget is not improved, at
least from the perspective of higher
education, the lack of money avail—
able could mean that existing vaca-
nies in staff and faculty positions
will go unfilled, Jewell said. The
University is already understaffed
in several program areas and the
lack of funds can only weaken pro-
grams.

One of those programs is the UK
library system. Although UK librar-
ies director Paul Willis said he is not
sure exactly what the lack of funds
will mean to the library, he said it is
obvious the impact will not be good.

Wilkinson says budget critics
sound but woes unavoidable

By MARK R. CHELLGREN
Associated Press
FRANKFORT — Legislators,
state employees and a host of others
who raised complaints about the
budget proposals of Gov. Wallace
Wilkinson picked up a powerful ally
on Thursday — Wilkinson himself.

“I agree with them," Wilkinson
said. “If we had any other thing that
we could do, we‘d be looking at it."

Wilkinson said he considered
every source for the needed money
before deciding to dip into the Road
Fund and the Department of Fish
and Wildlife Resources accounts and
reducing state contributions to em-
ployee retirement systems.

House Democrats met Thursday
and adopted a resolution opposing
those very proposals and asking the
Appropriations and Revenue Com—
mittee to identify other ways to bal-
ance the budget.

Wilkinson said he wished them
well. but said he has already con-
ducted that search with no success.

"The General Assembly, in my
opinion. will not be able to find,
quote. other sources of revenue,“
Wilkinson said.

Wilkinson said it might have been
politically more acceptable to have
gone with his first inclination and
give no raises to state employees in

WALLACE WILKINSON

the 1989 fiscal year and only 3 per-
cent the second year. Instead, he
has recommended increases of 2
percent and 5 percent, but had to dip
into the other funds as a result.

“In the final analysis, I did what I
thought was right,“ Wilkinson said.

State employee groups. particular-
ly, were quick to disagree.

”We are disappointed. dissatisfied
and distressed," began a news re-
lease from the Kentucky Coalition of
State Employee Organizations.

The release complained about the
proposed pay raises and the propo—
sal by Wilkinson to trim state contri-
butions to the retirement system.

Reaction in the state Senate was
less strident, but prompted a
harsher response from Wilkinson.

Sen. Mike Moloney, D-Lexington,
chairman of the Senate Appropria-
tions and Revenue Committee, said
Wilkinson‘s budget raises questions
about the priorities that the state
should have.

“We don‘t have a lot of money to
spend, but we must ask ourselves
the question again. What is it that
we are and what is it that we would
be?" Moloney said during a speech
on the Senate floor.

Wilkinson. who has feuded with
Moloney in the past. was not im-
pressed with the senator's concerns.

“Senator Moloney‘s mad about the
budget, mad at the world, mad at
himself.“ Wilkinson said. “I think
Moloney gets up on the wrong side
of the bed every morning.“

Moloney specifically questioned
Wilkinson‘s emphasis on economic
development funding over education
in the budget.

“I think in all honesty you must
ask how much of it is economic de-
velopment and how much of it is
something else,“ Moloney said.
“What that something else is is sub-
ject to many definitions."

Koop calls for university AIDS test

By ROBERT GLASS
Associated Press

LONDON -— US. Surgeon General
C. Everett Koop said Thursday he
wanted to screen every student of a
major American university this
spring to help determine the inci-

dence of AIDS among young adults.

Koop also proposed similar mass
AIDS screening at a few high
schools in the United States, but said
the government had made no deci-
sion on either proposal.

He disclosed the plan at a world
meeting on AIDS in London and
gave details in an interview Thurs-

day with The Associated Press.

The three-day conference, at-
tended by health ministers from 114
countries and senior public-health
officials from 34 others, adopted a
declaration backing the World
Health Organization's global strate-
gy on AIDS control and prevention.

Proclaiming 1988 the "Year of
Communication and Cooperation
About AIDS," the 650 summit dele—
gates said they “can and will" slow
the spread of AIDS, but offered no
major new strategies.

Koop‘s plan for anonymous
screening of students could prove
controversial. Civil libertarians
have argued that anonymous screen-
ing is an invasion of privacy and
that screening of a limited popula-
tion could be the forerunner of man-
datory nationwide testing.

The surgeon general said health
officials had yet to choose a univer-
sity, but it would likely be one in a
large city with a student body of
around 25,000. Plans call for the
screening to take place some time
this spring, Koop said. and it would
likely be part of a oneday open-air
campus “gala" on AIDS prevention.

"The goal would be to test every-
body in that university in such a
way that it‘s done out in the open,
above-board; everyone knows that
the blood specimen is not in any way
tagged,“ Koop said.

“That would give you a pretty
good idea of the prevalence (of
AIDS) in the age group in an urban
setting," he added.

The incidence of acquired immune
deficiency syndrome is highest

The library will have to compete
with other University programs for
resources and funding that are in
short supply already, Willis said.

The library already is feeling the
effects of tight economic times. Wil-
lis said the library system is under-
going a journal review and has had
to stop buying journals which are
just too expensive for the library to
afford.

For example. the price of one
journal the University subscribes to
went up 17 percent this year and is
expected to go up another 17 percent
next year, he said. Furthermore.
nearly one-third of the journals the
library subscribes to are foreign.
and the declining value of the dollar
puts some of those journals out of
UK‘s reach.

Even with a fairly reasonable bud-
get the library cannot keep up with
price increases, Willis said. "We'll

have to bring our buying program
within the available dollars.“

Echoing Willis‘ fears. Director of
the UK Honors Program Raymond
Betts said he has heard more con-
cerns voiced about the library‘s fi-
nancial situation.

In addition. Betts said other pro-
grams and areas at the University
are going to feel the effects of little
funding from the state.

Travel funds and the purchase of
personal computers and typewriters
for offices could be cut or frozen.
said Betts, who is a member of the
UK Board of Trustees. Things such
as travel expenses allow professors
a chance to receive “peer criticism"
and offer support to research.

And like other faculty, Betts is
worried about the overwhelming
concern of faculty salaries.

“People don't go into the academ-
ic profession with profit motive in
mind, but go (tot enjoy and

practice a way of life that is cultu-
rally beneficial," Betts said. But
anything that impairs that can only
cause a drop in morale and is bound
to have an effect.

Betts‘ concern is pervasive
throughout the University‘s academ-
ic community. Even in those areas
that would benefit in Wilkinson‘s
budget. the concern for faculty and
staff is evident.

Wilkinson‘s budget provides for $2
million in state money which
must be matched — for upgrading
engineering education programs at
L'K and the tTniversity of Louisville.

In addition. the state will offer 88
million in matching funds to con-
struct a commerce building for UK‘s
(‘ollege of Busmess & Economics,
which will be used to improve the
college‘s research and study re-
source areas.

State democratic party chief
steps down to join law firm

By (‘.A. DUANE BONIFER
Editorial Editor

F RANKFORT — It was more than
three years ago when Danny Briscoe
joined Casey County businessman
Wallace Wilkinson‘s bid for the gov-
ernor‘s mansion.

At that time, Wilkinson was still
an obscure gubernatorial candidate
running a distant fifth or sixth in
most polls, with little more than one
percentage point to his name.

But by the 1987 general election.
Briscoe‘s efforts had gotten Wilkin-
son elected governor by one of the
greatest margins in the history of
Kentucky.

Yesterday, Briscoe said farewell
to state politics — at least for a
while - as he officially resigned
from his position of state Democrat-
ic party chairman.

Briscoe, who was named the par.
ty‘s state chairman in June 1987 by
Wilkinson, said he had aspired to
lead his state‘s party for a long
time.

”I'm one of the people who still
believe that being in politics is im-
Portmt and seed purple should be

drawn into it.“ Briscoe said at the
Democratic party's state headquar-
ters in Frankfort.

Wilkinson praised the Democratic
party under Briscoe‘s leadership.
saying it reached one of the high
points in its history.

Briscoe echoed his close friend's
statements. boasting that last
November's slate of state Democrat-
ic candidates was the "greatest tick-
et the Democratic Party ever had."

One reason Briscoe said the eight
Democratic candidates were able
win by such overwhelming margins
in the general election was because
of the "message Wallace Wilkinson
delivered to this state and the way
people responded to it . "

“Right now, we sit on the brink of
the greatest organization the Demo
cratic party has ever had,“ he pro
claimed.

Wilkinson said he does not have an
immediate successor to fill Briscoe's
job, but he said he plans to meet
with the Democratic state central
executive committee and discuss
possible candidates.

In searching for a new party
chairman. Wilkinson said he will

look for someone who will continue
to rebuild the party and help the
Democrats one day win “every
elected office in the state."

With Super Tuesday just around
the corner. Wilkinson said he will
have to choose a successor to
Briscoesoon.

Offering his successor a little ad-
vice, Briscoe said that in order for
the Democratic party to remain
strong. future candidates must not
only concern themselves with fund
raising and organization, but also to
responding to what the mainstream
Democratic voter wants.

BriScoe said he has yet to decide
on a presidential candidate to sup-
port for the 1988 election. saying he
will wait to see who Wilkinson en-
dorses. Wilkinson has narrowed his
choice between Tennessee Sen. Al-
bert Gore Jr. and Massachusetts
Gov. Michael Dukakis.

Monday. Briscoe begins work for
the Frankfort law firm of hogan and
Gaines.

Although he said he has not re-
ceived any offers to lobby state law-
makers and does not anticipate any,
Brisoce said he is not "rulim any-
thingout."

AIDS is caused by a virus that
damages the body’s immune sys-
tem, leaving victims susceptible to
infections and cancer. It is spread
most often through sexual contact,
needles or syringes shared by drug
abusers, infected blood or blood
products, and from pregnant women
to their offspring.

Blood tests can determine the
presence of AIDS antibodies. indi-
cating exposure to the virus, but a
positive test does not necessarily
mean a person will develop symp-
toms.

He said anonymity would be guar-
anteed and those taking part would
have no way of knowing the results.

Koop said he would like to test an
entire university student body, and
possibly the faculty, but acknowl-
edged that some people might not
want to take part, indicating such
screening would not be mandatory.

During the summit, Dr. Jonathan
Mann, director of WHO'S Special
Program on AIDS, predicted the
number of AIDS cases worldwide
would increase from the current es-
timated 300.000 to 1 million by 1991.

At the community college level,
the governor‘s budget provides for a
$4.3 million learning center to be
built at Ashland Community College.

Ashland President Tony Newberry
said that with record enrollment in-
creases the last fiie years the com-
munity college at Ashland is “liter-
ally bursting at the seams."

The new addition — which will
house a learning resource center
and student activities — will give
the college more than 20 new class
rooms. Newberry said.

will receive $500,000 in each year of

other resources, said Bowen, dean of
engineering.

Richard Furst, dean of the busi-
ness college, is also pleased that the
governor‘s budget recognizes his
program.

The commerce building, li‘urst
said, is critical to the life of the busi~
ness college and is indirectly related

to the future of Kentucky.

The business school does not have
modern classrooms, modern re-
search and teaching resources and
no study area for students, Furst
said. The new building will allow the
school to make improvements in
each of those areas.

Furst said that the school already

has about $1 million committed in
matching funds for the buiding and
Wilkinson‘s support in the budget
will help more.

But like Bowen and other faculty,
Furst said he is concerned with the
budget.

If the University is not able to
give salaries, it will have a definite
impact, Furst said. “The University
has been provided some flexibility to
administer its funds in a manner
that we can give the faculty some-
thing.“

But according to Ken Walker, ex—
ecutive finance director for the
Council on Higher Education, there
is a real possibility thatlsalary in-
creases for faculty and staff at the
state’s eight universities will be non-

existent in the first year of the bien-

nium. .
0f extreme concern, Walker said,

was the fact that funding would fall
below 88 percent of the formula.

The CHE had recommended to the
governor that the state fund higher
education by 94 percent of the for-
mula in the 1988-89 fiscal year and
by 100 pecent in the 1989—90 fiscal
year.

However, the governor‘s budget
would drop the formula to about 83
percent next year and 81.5 percent
the following year.

The council had an expectation
that the 88-percent level would be a
bottom line —- a kind of “minimum
level of expectation," Walker said.
“I think disappointment is the key
word.“

The young dance company will be
making its official debut tonight at
the Lexington Opera House in a
concert titled “Taking Action. "

The choreographers and
musicians have created a blend of
dance and music styles that could
double as an upper division course
in the history of dance.

“Our goal is to bring quality
dance to the community as an art
form and as a way to unite the
community through dance. music.
education and outreach.“ said
Darcia Fantucchio. a dancer in the
ensemble and one of the company
board members.

The choreographers have
incorporated everything from soft
shoe to the Virginia Reel in their
six-piece concert. The Phoenix
Moving Company, another
Lexington dance company, will be
performing alongside Syncopated
Inc. in some of the pieces.
Although there will be some
recorded music. many of the
musical scores will be performed
live by their original artists. The
Real World String Band will
perform some traditional Bluegrass
music. the ethereal sound of
Stormlight‘s synthesizers will
accompany one piece, and Jenny
Armstrong. a bagpipist from
Chicago. will add an international
sound to the show.

“Stormlight and the Real World
String Band are just very. very
talented musicians." said Meriah
Kruse. Syncopated. Inc.‘s associate
artistic director. “It‘s always a
thrill for a dancer to perform with
live music. and it‘s a thrill for the
audience too. The music is first

tomorrow night at the Loudon House
during their second annual exhibit
titled “Nude ‘88.“

According to Susanee Strawhorn.
gallery coordinator for the Lexing-
ton Art League in Loudon House.
there is not another exhibiting gal-
lery in Kentucky showing nudes.
“There‘s a legal problem wherein
the public cannot walk by a window
and be able to see a piece of art de-
picting a nude," said Strawhorn.
“It‘s a problem most businesses
don‘t want to deal with." she added.

“I think that it‘s something that
the general public doesn‘t complete-
ly understand and so. a lot of the
time. it's viewed as pornography."

hibiting artists. Williams. whose oil
and pencil works are on display.
views figure drawing as one of the
building blocks of learning to draw.

“Figure drawing trains your eye.
and your subject matter helps you
learn such things as line values and
color." Williams said.

Most of the subject matter deals
with the female anatomy. which is
not surprising to Williams. “The fe-
male body contains more curves and
is more appealing to the eye than
the male body which is more
straight." said Williams.
