College of Dentistry

By KIM CAGLE
Contributing Writer

The College of Dentistry begiis
celebrating 25 years of existence
today with a daylong slate of events.

All UK faculty, staff and students
are invited to attend a birthday
party and lunch from noon to 2 pm.
in the Student Center Ballroom.

The theme of the celebration is
“The Past Challenges the Future.“
The college has come such a long
way that a celebration was in order
to bring more people to its aware-
ness, said David A. Nash, dean of
the college.

UK's College of Dentistry is ac-

Establlshed 1894

knowledged as one of the best dental
schools in the United States, Nash
said.

The silver anniversary celebration
is a way of telling people of Ken-
tucky who endow the college, “Hey,
look at what a good job we've done
with the money you‘ve generously
given," he said.

When the dental college was first
established on the initiative of for-
mer Gov. Albert B. Chandler tfor
whom the Medical Center was
named). no women were enrolled.
Now. however, more than 50 percent
of the students are women. said Dr.
Thomas P. Mullaney, cochairman

University of Kentucky, Lexington. Kentucky

to kick off its silver anniversary today

of the celebration and professor and
chairman of endodontics.

Nash said he is optimistic about
the college's future.

“I think we're really matured," he
said. “Now is the time for looking
back and being proud, but especially
a time for looking forward to all the
exciting opportunities that are in the
future.

At the birthday party, several
door prizes and other items, includ-
ing gift certificates, will be given
away. In addition, visual displays
will be set up for those interested in
learning more about dentistry.

This is to be only the first part of
the six events of the program.

On Oct. 12. a silver anniversary
invitational luncheon will be held at
the American Dental Association
National Meeting in Las Vegas.

Alumni of the dentistry college
will gather for a weekend on Oct. 30
and 31. The weekend includes a pre-
sentation on implantology by Dr.
Paul Schnitman. a luncheon address
by Nash, a tailgate reception and a
UK football game.

The “Kentucky Symposium on
Women in Dentistry" will be held
Dec. 2 at the Singletary (‘enter for
the Arts.

Two silver anniversary symposia
will be held in March and April of
1988.

 

Renee Moore, a communications freshman, lives by herself in
the temporary quarters set up by the UK housing office in the

study room on the 23rd floor of the Blanding Tower. She is one
of 23 students, all female, on the waiting list to enter UK dorms.

Girl has Blanding floor to self

By NATALIE CAUDILL
Staff Writer

enee Moore is the only
resident of the 23rd floor in Blanding
Tower.
“I tell people that I live in a penthouse,“said
Moore, a communications freshman.
She is one of 23 UK students who have not yet
been placed permanently into a residence hall.
She lives alone without a telephone or a mailing

address and has to travel to other floors to shower

or socialize.

“They told me I should have housing before
school started or during the first week and if I
didn‘t. I would have temporary housing," she
said.

Moore. who is from Corbin, registered in late
June. She is now 15th on the waiting list, and
though she said the housing office has been
helpful, she said she isn't optimistic about getting
a room at this point.

According to Penny Cox, director of the housing
office, many of the people who were placed on the
waiting list were those who registered after May.

They were notified every two weeks during the

a climb up a flight of stairs to get to her room,
which is meant to be a study area but was
converted into temporary housing by placing
bunks and bureaus into one section. Half the
lights in the ceiling do not work and the locks on
the doors don‘t guarantee her much privacy,
Moore said.

“I’m afraid people will steal stuff, and I can't
bring anything valuable up there because the
other day while I was sleeping a herd of guys
came through there, and I have no idea how they
got in because the door was locked," she said.

When Moore arrived on campus before classes
began this semester, she found that she was 150th
on a list of 400 students waiting for room

openings.

students can remove their names from the list at
any point.

“I think we‘ve done pretty good going from 400
down to 23, "said Cox.

Everyone on the list is female, Cox said. She
said it may be difficult to find them permanent
housing at this point.

“We‘re not in a position to respond quickly to a
demand,“ she said. “We can‘t just put up another
building.“

“Most of them have found their own spots but
are remaining on the waiting list, " she said.

Cox said the housing office will help students
with any problems they have in getting
permanent space.

Room openings occur when residents drop their

academic status to part-time or fail to pay their
housing fees. Cox said residents who fail to meet
the payment deadline automatically have their
registration canceled and are no longer
considered students.

The deadline for these fees was Sept. 9.

The housing office said yesterday it wasn't sure
yet how many openings had been created by
students failing to pay their homing fees.

Though there was an increase in housing
applications this year, students who applied
before May were all placed in residence halls.
Cox said.

She said having a waiting list which leaves
people like Moore in limbo is a necessary evil.
since the office has to take into account that
openings (created by students not paying their
fees) are going to have to be filled.

“We do not overbook. We do not overcommit
space. . Cox said.

Eastern Kentucky University is experiencing
similar space problems and has been placing
three students to a room. Cox said. However, she
said this isn‘t an alternative that the UK housing
office wants to take.

“We feel that those who apply early deserve a
reward by having their room set up in a certain
way. . shesaid.

Pope John Paul II is greeted by Reagan

By HARRY F. ROSENTHAL
Associath Press

MIAMI — Pope John Paul II, pre-
pared for dissent but claiming the
support of a “silent majority" of
Catholics, launched his second US.
tour Thursday as “a friend of Amer-
ica andall Americans."

President Reagan, who had come
from Washington to welcome the
pontiff on a clear, ”degree af-
tenoon, made a pointed reference
to Central Ama'ica as he portrayed

himself as a supporter of human
freedom.

Said the pontiff: "I come as a
friend — a friend of America and of
all Americans: Catholics. Orthodox.
Protestants and Jews, people of
every religion, and all men and
womenofgood will.

“I come as a friend of the poor
and the sick and dying; those who
are struggling with the problems of
each day; those who are rising and
falling and stumbling on the journey
of life; these who are seeking and

discovering, and those not yet find-
ing, the deep meaning of ‘life. liber~
ty andthepursuit of happiness.‘ “

Many in the exuberant welcoming
crowd of 4,500 held up yellowand-
white papal flags to flap in a breeze
which blew the pontiff's white skul-
leap off his head. The pope did not
kiss the ground on this visit, because
it was his second tour of the United
States.

Security was intense in Miami,
and a 53-yeaer construction work-
er was arrested afta' he was found

carrying a gun and knife at Tamia-
mi Park, where the pope will cele-
brate Mass on Friday. Police said
they did not believe the incident was
related to the papal visit.

Reagan came to Miami with Mrs.
Reagan to head the receiving line.

“In Europe and elsewhere. we
continue to place our might on the
side of human dignity." Reagan
said. “In Latin America and Asia,
we are supporting the expansion of
human freedom. in particular, the

Wilkinson and Harper
expected to visit campus

MONICA (‘LARK
Contributing Writer

In the coming weeks before No»
vember‘s general election, students
may have the opportunity to hear
the views of both gubernatorial can»
didates.

The College Democrats. Students
for Wilkinson and the (‘ollege Re
publicans say Democratic candidate
Wallace Wilkinson and Republican
John Harper will probably make up»
pearaHCcs on campus.

Last spring. through a joint effort.
the College Democrats and Students
for Wilkinson sponsored a \‘ISII by
Wilkinson during the primary race.

Both groups said they are hoping
for a repeat visit sometime iii ()L'itl-
her.

"We're planning an evening for
the student body to become more fa
miliar with Wilkinson and his con-
cerns." said Pat Hart. president of
the (‘ollege Democrats.

Craig McAnelly. president of Stu-
dents for Wilkinson. said college stu-
dents represent a large block of vot-
ers that largely go untapped. But
Wilkinson recognizes the potential
support the L'niversity population
could muster. he said.

"Students come from a variety of
areas and they have influence with
voters at home.‘ he said. “(‘am.
paigning on campus is just like cam
paigning statewide."

Ilart and McAnelly said the recent
recommendation of Harper by the
Kentucky Education Associations
political action committee has had
no effect on either group's slate of
activities for the coming weeks.

“We would have liked the recom-
mendation and I would encourage
others in the KEA to reconsider
lbacking Harperl." Hart said. ”Wil-
kiiison is a self-made man and sees
the need for education and we want
to make sure people know his stand
on the issues."

One group that was obviously
happy \\‘.lh the KEPAC‘s recom-
mendatioi: was the College Republi-
cans.

 2 - KENTUCKY KENNEL. Friday, Soptombor 11. 1987

Wilkinson says endorsement
by UMW should be a boost

Associated Press

Wallace Wilkinson says he expects
a big boost in his Democratic cam-
paign for governor from the en-
dorsement by the 31.000member
United Mine Workers.

“It will mean a lot in money and
votes. They have a good organiza—
tion. and they're active.“ Wilkinson
said Wednesday after receiving the
endorsement from the UMW politi-
cal action committee. which was
recommended by all eight of the
union‘s area councils in Kentucky,

Charlie Head. staff coordinator for
the state UMW. said Wilkinson got
the group‘s nod because “our people
thought he would be the best man
for governor. " He did not elaborate.

Both Wilkinson and his Republican
opponent. state Rep John Harper.
expected the L'MW to endorse the
Democrat The only GOP gubernato
rial nominee to receive L'MW sup
port was Louie Nunn in the 1967 pri~
mary. said Head.

The endorsement came after
union representatives met privately
with Wilkinson and Harper. who
managed to get an unscheduled au»
dience,

Head said Harper had not been in«
vited to attend because his cam-
paign had received no support from
the L'MW‘S area councils. But Harp-
er showed up early Wednesday at-
ternoon. saying he had been asked
to come by a union official. and he

The Cats

was invited to return later in the
day. Both candidates had been inter»
viewed by union officials in July.
Head said.

During their separate meetings
with the miners. the candidates
commented on a major issue for the
union — the state‘s complex work-
ers' compensation issue.

Wilkinson said he told union mem-
bers he endorsed a recent guberna-
torial task force report recommend-
ing ways to prevent a future
workers‘ compensation debt.

And except for a few questions. he
said he was about ready to endorse
a plan to resolve the issue proposed
last week by the coal industry and
adopted by other business groups.

His reservations toward that plan.
Wilkinson said. focused on how
heavier assessments would be par-
celed out within the coal industry.

“I don't want the small— and medi-
um-sized toperatorsi to take the
lion's share of the hits." Wilkinson
said.

Harper said he is opposed to any
plan that changed the level of bene-
fits to miners suffering from black
lung, at least until the program's
$1.7 billion debt is erased.

He said he also opposes any reduc-
tion of benefits for miners currently
vested in the program.

While Harper said that he did not

expect the [NW endorsement. he
did say after his appearance that “I

will Get

in '87

got a better hand (of applause) than
I thought I would get."

The UMW made no endorsement
in last spring‘s gubernatorial prima-
ry after delegates split between Lt.
Gov. Steve Beshear and Dr. Grady
Stumbo of Hian — two of Wil-
kinson‘s four opponents.

Four other Democratic candidates
also won the union's endorsement
Wednesday. They were Brereton
Jones of Midway, for lieutenant gov-
ernor; Louisvillian Fred Cowan, for
attorney general; Bob Babbage. for
state auditor, and Ward (Butch)
Burnette, of Fulton, for agriculture
commis5ioner.

Head said he did not know how
much money the union would con-
tribute to the campaigns of any of
the endorsed candidates.

“What we contribute to them is
not necessarily all of it,“ he said.
The union’s punch will also come
through its organizing efforts in the
coal counties and its get-out-the-vote
effort on Election Day, Head said.

Wilkinson has also won the en-
dorsement of the United Auto Work-
ers and the Teamsters. Harper won
the recommended endorsement of

the Kentucky Education Associa-.

tion's political action arm last week.
KEA members must still ratify the
endorsement, the first for a GOP
nominee for governor.

will cont inue to w rite under contract

Pogue admitted that he has always been obsessed with "man

confronting his darker side

the beast w ithiii man."

(if the Sherlock Holmes' mysteries. Pogue said. "I read the stories
as a boy and had always liked them. If I had a wish list of film
projects I wanted to do. Sherlock Holmes would be one of them."

The play. "The Ebony Ape." was actually the idea for one of til
television series that never came through When the centennial

“i think it‘s a fun play.“ Pogue said. "It's not a boring night at the
theater. it‘s just a movie on the stage. It has a lot of plot and
eccentric. strange characters. leading clues and perturbable puzzles to

besolved."

TH E H )l 'RTH PROTOCOL

f‘The Fourth Protocol" is an as-
pionage thriller starring Michael
Caine as a British secret agent
caught in a cat-and-mouse game
with RUSSlan spy Pierce Brosnan.
whose mission is to detonate a
nuclear weapon in England.

(‘aine is superb as the talented.
yet weary. super-spy who can't
stay out of trouble. Brosnan and
his character are the real disap-
pointment. (if course. a weak
character can always be over-
come by a strong storyline and
lightningquick pacing Unfortu-
nately. “The Fourth Protocol"
misses the mark here. too. Every
plot detail unfolds with the imme-
diacy of drying paint.

Mcllencamp plunges headfirst
into a collection ol protest songs

show him to be anything but a \‘i-

together a collection of songs that

Even Bruce Springsteen leaves
