Impact of
decision
not known

Time will tell
whether reforms

affect careers

By TOM SPALDING
Editor in Chief

It's too early to tell what impact
the state Supreme Court‘s decision
will have on UK students majoring
in education and their plans to stay
in state or leave after graduation,
some UK students and faculty say.

Because the Supreme Court de—
clared the Kentucky school system
unconstitutional and called for a
complete overhaul, several drastic
changes could be made — among
them financial — which could en—
tice students at UK and other col-
leges to consider Kentucky instead
of someplace else.

Alreadi approximately 80 per-
cent of UK students originally from
Kentucky stay after graduation
and teach in state, according to Ed
Sagan, Dean of UK’s College of Ed-
ucation.

That figure may change. depend-
ing on what types of reform are
implemented, he said. The number
could rise, or fall.

“The problem in predicting is,
we don't know what the reforms
will be," Sagan said. “I think the
only thing we‘re sure of is a great—
er equity in funding “

According to the court ruling. the

rebuilt and the Kentucky General
Assembly must adopt a program
that makes sure every child in the
state has an equal opportunity to
ge. , adequate education.

The court said the legislature
must also provide adequate financ-
ing for every school district, which
would potentially mean more
money and better pay for teachers
in Kentucky.

reforms. but beyond that l have no

not. He said most of his friends
who are education majors feel the
same way.

“Most of the people I‘ve been in
contact with hope to stay in state."
he said. “Most of us have ties to
the state. The reform just gives
them another reason to stay."

Amy Chappell, an elementary ed-
ucation senior at Transylvania Uni-
versity, also wants to remain in
Kentucky after she finishes school.
She was glad to see the reforms
come when they did.

essary," she said. “Kentucky has

The Basics

° The Kentucky State Constitution requires that the
legislature provide “an efficient system of" common
schools throughout the state "

Kentucky's public school system has been ruled
unconstitutional because it is underfunded, inadequate
and unequal. The state Supreme court said that the
present system is discriminatory, and that it sentences
children in poorer school districts to inferior

educations.

The Court also ruled that even the wealthiest school
districts are not providing an adequate education.

Taxes most likely will increase. but it hasn't been
(loaded which taxes would take the increase.

Thi- court said that if‘ the taxpayers in a district want
to pay i-\tr;i taxes for education they still can.

There are 1,350 students enrolled
in the College of Education.
according to the admissions office.

Fifteen to 20 percent of students
originally from Kentucky who
graduate from UK in the College of
Education go somewhere else.
Sagan said. If any figures change
because of the reforms, it is likely
to be there. Sagan said.

“One reason (they might stay) is

that salaries, supplies and facilities
would improve and the job be-

“I would say reform would prob-
ably help decrease rthe number
who leave." Campbell said.

“I don‘t know how much. but

SGA considers immediate action on Chinese resolution

By KRISTI WILLE'I'T
Staff Writer

Four Chinese student representatives met
with Student Government Association Presi-
dent Sean Lehman and Vice President Paige
Foster Tuesday afternoon to discuss the de-
tails of a resolution to be proposed next week
during an SGA meeting.

The resolution is to show support for the
Chinese students in Beijing in their fight for
democracy. Lohman said. SGA would like to
help the students in China as well as the
Chinese students on UK's campus, he said.

According to Lehman and Foster. a final

draft of the resolution will be completed and
proposed after further planning with Chinese
student representatives next Monday.

About 222 students from mainland China
attend or teach at UK, said Xiang Sheng Ye,
a Chinese scholar in the department of plant
pathology.

Chinese students and concerned supporters
have been active in their campaign for de-
mocracy by holding fundraisers for the stu—
dents in Beijing. They have also worked with
Arnensty International. Tables with T-shirts
and artwork for sale have been set up out-
side the UK Medical Center Library and at
other locations around Lexington.

A petition gathering the names of support-
ers has been circulated.

A candlelight Memorial Service at Central
Park downtown was held Tuesday night to
honor the people in Beijing who died for the
cause of freedom. 'I‘uzun said.

One of the main concerns of 'I‘uzun. Ye and
Wei-Yang Lu, 3 member of the Engineering
Mechanics department. is that people do not
forget what is going on in China.

“We want to remind them of what is hap-
pening in Tienanman Square in Beijing and
why people there are dying." Ye said.

As many as 5000 students have been killed
in Beijing and UK students as well as people

everywhere should be doing what they can to
help. Tuzun said.

“If through letters and petitions you can
just save one student's life it will be worth
all the effort." 'I‘uzun said.

One action being taken to help the people
of Beijing is the creation of a new organiza.
tion to be called. Chinese Students and Schol-
ars Solidarity Union.

“The union is a continuance of the inde-
pendent student union in Beijing to carry on
the democratic movement. ” he said.

More than 40 similar groups already exist
in the US, Ye said.

“(Jeff) is a very talented ath-

said Kirk Wrinkle, assistant coach
at Alief-Elsik high school, where
Brassow starred.

“He will be an asset to the UK’s
program."

“Thomas is a possible starter
next year and he will be a big
help to UK’s situation next year,"
said Lake Kelly, head coach at
Austin Peay University.

UK was placed on a three-year

Brassow had talked to new UK
Coach Rick Pitino last week, and
said he was impressed.

”I'm looking forward to coming
to UK next year and playing for
the Wildcats." he said.

Thomas, a multi-talented per-
former at Clarksville (Tenn) high
school. averaged 24 points and
seven rebounds. He was an all-
district performer.

Brassow and Thomas were both
recuited by the Eddie Sutton
coaching staff of last year.

Both players are currently play-

LeRon Ellis said they are leaving.

‘Tired’ of long hours, fraternity adviser quits after 16 years

By ELIZABETH C. MOORE
News Editor

After l6
years of tiring
work. Michael
Palm's last
day should be
an easy one.

Palm, an as—
sistant dean of
students and
fraternity ad-
viser at UK.
resigns tom- PALM
morow.

Palm believes that not many peo-
ple would put in the long hours that
he has over the years.

“I've been here 16 years and I‘m
pretty much tired,“ he said. "I've
done all the late night calls and
the hours I spend at this job are
overwhelming.

”I feel sometimes like my job is
2-1 hours a day. seven days a
week." he added. “People expect
you to be at things all the time "

Deciding to resign was not easy
"I've thought about ireSigningi for

 

more than just this year." Palm
said. “I‘ve thought about for the
last few years. but I just decided
that this year would be the best for
me. I kept putting it off and decid-
ed. ‘well. maybe next year. maybe
next year.‘ "

Palm has a degree in art from
Eastern Illinois University and is
involved with the Lexington Art
League as vice president and
would like to concentrate his time
onthat.

At 44, he thinks it‘s the right time
for a change. “Somehow I don't en-
vision myself at 55 running around
at fraternity functions." he said.

“Someone once jokingly said.
‘it’s time to grow up and get a real
job‘. " Palm said. "I don't think
they realize what this job entails. "

Since his arrival at L‘K in 1973
from Eastern lllinms. where he
was asSistant dean of housing.
Palm has seen many changes in
the greek community

Fraternity chapter membership
at [K has grown trom almost .Itl
members then to around 60 or 70
now under his guidance. he said.

that sororities and fraternities par»

Under his supervision. Palm in
troduced a way to determine the
best fraternity and sorority on

ities Steering Committee, a “point
system" entails many things such
as intramural competitions. chap-
ter service awards. and the cum-
mulative grade point average of
each fraternity and sorority chap-
ter, just to name a few.

At one time there were just
awards for Outstanding Greek Man

many more awards. The Chapter

Williams’ latest effort a success

By KlP BOWMAR
Section Editor

I sound my barbaric yawp over
the world.
— Walt Whitman

This unlikely quote captures
the underlying spirit of Robin
Williams’ latest and arguably
best film. “Dead Poets Society."

Unlike past films where Wil-
liams has played the outrageous
comic genius, his character is
more reserved. He still has the
razor-sharp wit but it is held in
check. Fans who have come to
see another reprisal of “Good
Morning Vietnam“ will be disap-
pointed.

 

has a very strong ensemble ap-
peal.

The movie opens in New En-
gland in a prep school in 1959
with another schoolyear about to
begin. The tradition-laden school
is oblivious to the procession of
time on the outside world. The
only thing that has changed at
the school is the addition of a
new english teacher, John Keat-
ing (Williams).

tween the iconoclast Williams ——
who provides the inspiration for
his students to form their own
”Dead Poets Society" — and the
administration. It becomes clear
it is only a matter of time before
he will be forced out.

The acting is very good and
portrays the mundane emotions
honestly. There is very little
overacting.

While the film deals with some
sad events and has a forboding
title, the movie is not morose. lt
affirms the human spirit.

The ending provides a fitting
denouement to the movie without
going over the edge.

Films that have a serious bent
are usually released in the fall in-

The film requires thought and
the viewer has to let the plot and
the characters develop. Williams’
character is not the dominant
character. He is merely a cat-
alyst that sparks the other char»
acters from lethargy. The cast

Keating makes an impact im-
mediately with his unorthodox
teaching methotk. He has his stu-
dents perform a number of exer-
cises to look at things in a differ-

ent perspective.
The battle lines are drawn be-

sublime to the completely ridicu-
lous.

On one hand Thompson writes of
gambling exploits that would be
make a member of Gamblers
Anonymous blush. 0n the other
hand, he offers political prose with
a great deal of insight. While most
writers would retreat in fear of
lawsuits arising from such a style,
Thompson presses on.

The book is a collection of a note-
book he kept for the last two years
with The San Francisco Enquirer
and covers a litany of topics rang-
ing from a tatoo parlor to the Iran-
Contra scandal and the political
fortunes of people like Gary Hart,
George Bush, and Ed Meese.

Some of Thompson's political as-
sertions test the bounds of reality
itself. But he never rose to fame or
prominence for that love of reality.

Thompson has a talent to cut to
the bone of what motivates people.

Larry Carlton was working in his
home studio in los Angeles, Calif.
last year, when he noticed two
teenagers and a German shepherd
run under his carport.

Suspicious. he went to shut the
garage door when one of the youths
raised his hand and fired a .357
Magnum at close range.

The bullet ripped through Carl-
ton’s carotid artery, a key artery
near the neck. Carlton, an accom-
plished musician, was rushed to
the hospital in time.

VIEWPOINT

Courageous UK
students deserve
praise, support

Yiming Rong stood in front of a makeshift
booth outside a grocery store last week, sell-
ing a few of his personal items to raise
money for his friends and family back in
China.

For the last few weeks Rang. a teaching
assistant at UK. has spent many of his af-
ternoons trying gather funds and raise pub—
lic awareness of what‘s happening in China.

As many as 5.000 Chinese students died
earlier this month fighting for more demo-
cratic conditions. Hundreds more are being
sought out by the government and will suffer
some sort of penalty for their role in the pro-
tests.

Getting “the truth" to friends and family
has been difficult.

The Chinese government has scrambled
radio waves. banned journalists and elimi—
nated a free press —- so most of the news
people get is often false and misleading. The
Chinese government is doing all of thisin an
attempt to end what gunfire couldn’t end -—
to snuff out the last bit of protest.

That‘s a shame.

What people like Kong are doing is getting
information — through facsimile machines,
for example — over to China so the people
receive an accurate account of what’s going
on.

“If through letters and petitions you can
just save one student’s life it will be worth
all the effort,” one Chinese student said.

It is the duty of everyone to help those who
cannot speak and live freely, he said.

Unfortunately. that takes money not read-
ily available. That’s why Kong and others
are selling their personal belongings.

So far, response to the fund-raising efforts
has been good. In just two days last week,
one group netted $1,000 faster than you can
say Emery package. And that figure is still
growing.

It’s a good sign.

In this day and age. it's refreshing to see
people fight for something they so strongly
believe in — democracy. Something we have
but too often take for granted.

That's why people all across the country
like Yiming Rong deserve praise — and our
support. Their actions have been coura-
geous.

But we shouldn‘t stop there.

It's necessary to continue raising money —
and public awareness — to keep the fight
going.

One of the Chinese students' main con-
cerns is that people do not forget what is
going on in China. Always remember. they

said.
That’s the least we can do.

Our ex-Kentucky home

Columnist offers Rick Pitino a few suggestions for Wildcat Lodge

Last week. our beloved Editor in Chief
Tom Spalding (or whoever writes those
inane things) editorialized that the soon-
to~be«unoccupied Wildcat Lodge should
be reopened as a child care center for
use by the many UK students who are
burdened by snotnose, screaming brats.

Well. we all know how much we love
having those damn kids in our classes
when their parents decide to bring ‘em
along and let the class be ruined for ev-
eryone while the professor stews. But
I'm still not going for it.

The weightroom idea obviously was
tossed off by Rick Pitino as he got all la—
thered up (and we all know he wouldn’t
say anything irrational) at the big an-
nouncement speech. so I’ve decided to
give the guy a few suggestions. I hope
they’re helpful.

(And no, I'm not gonna endorse the
Wildkitten name either) .

Sohere it goes:

0 We could knock out the front wall
(the other half of “we“ being, of course.
Happy Chandler) and turn the place into
a bookstand. Happy could sell copies of
his book and I could push copies of my
latest bestseller “Bowhead Rhetoric: In-
side the Modern Sorority Girl.“ It‘ll be a
hoot.

- We could round up all those money
bags boosters. illiterate hill dwellers and
other hard core UK types and lock 'em
up in there. Then maybe they‘ll see how
annoying they are and stop bitching
about how Richie should be playing more
or why Ellis needs to hit the boards hard-
er.

Anyway. they won‘t have to worry
about those things anymore because
Richie's competition at guard will be
walkon Satchmo or walkon Buford. And
Ellis is gone. and nobody really misses
him. or his silly haircut. anyway.

0 Let's make it into the official Joe B.
Hall Museum (and contrary to common
belief. B. stands for beans). Hall looked
pretty good after all the NCAA stuff ex-
ploded in Sutton's face, now didn’t he?

We'll put the original Eric Manuel ACT

answer sheet in there, the Emery pack-
age that Claud Mills allegedly received
that videotape in, and a little vial filled
with some of the pus drained from Sean
Sutton's eye, just to remind us how real-
ly nasty (and runny) the ’88-!!!) season
was.

0 We could make it into a combination
massage parlor and strip joint. some-
thing Lexington's definitely missing.

0 I stole this one from the Kernel gang.
A new clubhouse for my brotherhood. or
sisterhood, of whining nihilists called
S.A.I-‘.E. (Students Against F—ing Ev-
erything). We basically hate everything.
All we care to do is sit around, drink

beer. belch and criticize stuff. If you
care to join. just call 555-BURP and we'll
get back to ya. Maybe.

- As it stands in the shadow of UK's
very own phallic symbol. Patterson 0f-
fice Tower. we should tear don: the
lodge and build a big ol‘ fountun and
dedicate it to all the big, dumb white
guys who just didn‘t have the physical
prowess to make it on the court.

We’ll call it the Syrupy Blue Spouting
Spew or something equally offensive and
tasteless.

0 Just one last suggestion. as a tribute
to our soon-to-be smashed. trashed and
steamrolled ’89-90 team. we could fix it
up like a funeral home and have a wake
each time the Cats get buried. The
name: Pitino’s Burial Pit or may
