New chancellor setting high goals for self, UK

Hemenway has ‘Come home’
to lead school into new era

Minority aid
was key factor
in landing job

By TOM SPALDING
Editor in Chief

Robert Hemenway was chosen
chancellor for the Lexington cam-
pus over two other qualified candi-
dates primarily because of his pro-
ven track record of recruiting and
hiring top minority faculty mem-
bers. several UK officials said.

Hemenway's hiring could be in
part a symbolic gesture that UK is
increasing its efforts to lure mi—
nority faculty and staff.

Hemenway was credited with im-
proving the number of minority
faculty members. especially
blacks, in at least two instances —
when he was chairman of the UK
department of English from 1981 to
1986 and when he was dean of the
College of Arts and Sciences at the
University of Oklahoma from 1986
until recently, some officials said.

“I think he has a track record
that has shown . . . a demonstrated
commitment in the area of fairness
in terms of hiring black faculty.
Most in the University know that‘s
a critical issue,” said Chester
Grundy, director of minority stu-
dent affairs.

Hemenway‘s appointment “may
be a dramatic, visible statement
that’s needed," Grundy said. “If
we're going to be serious about cre-
ating that kind of climate that‘s at-
tractive to minority students, we
need that kind of leadership."

Hemenway, 47, is a top scholar in
African-American literature and
the author of Zora Neale Hurston,
a biography of a prominent black
woman who was credited for rais-
ing black awareness in the 1930s
Hemenway‘s book, which was re
leased in 1978, drew critical ac-
claim.

During his previous tenure at UK
(1981-86), Hemenway brought in
three top black scholars to the En-
glish department: Charles Rowell,
Edgar 'I‘idwell and Sandra Govan.

“By the end of the 19705 and
early 19805, UK’s English depart-
ment had the strongest African-
American literary studies in the
south,“ said a source close to UK
who wished to remain anonymous.
“Hemenway's presence was a part
of this."

At Oklahoma, statistics showed a

New Chancellor for the Lexington Campus Robert Hemenway, sit-
ting in this makeshift office last week, will move into a new one
when he succeeds Art Gallaher officially on June 1. Hemenway
said he missed UK and is glad to be back home.

“definite rise” in minority hiring of
blacks, American Indians and
women in Hemenway's depart-
ment, said Paul Willis, who served
as the search committee chairman
which recommended candidates to
UK President David Roselle.

Hemenway did a “very fine job”
of increasing the number of minori-
ties and women in the College of
Arts and Sciences at Oklahoma,
said Ken Hoving, vice provost of
research administration and Dean
of the graduate college at Oklaho
ma.

Hoving said Hemenway was a
“very gifted administrator. I think
he will do a superb job for the Uni-
versity of Kentucky. "

Hemenway was the sole contend-
er for the Chancellor's position
after two of the three finalists with—
drew their names from consider-
ation.

The other two candidates were
Risa Ileen Palm, associate vice
chancellor for research and dean of
the graduate school at the Univer-
sity of Colorado, and Samuel A.
Kirkpatrick, dean of liberal arts
and sciences at Arizona State Uni-
versity.

Candidates for the position had to

meet certain criteria to qualify,
which included placing emphasis
on minority recruitment, Roselle
said.

Mary Sue Coleman, a member of
the search committee, said all
three candidates had indicated that
they were committed to hiring mi-
nority faculty.

“1 think (Hemenway) has a
longstanding commitment to create
a more diverse faculty. He showed
he can do that.“ Coleman said.

Many thought Hemenway was
chosen because he might be able to
do the same thing as chancellor
that he did previously in the area
of minority recruitment.

“He wants to do it," said Perci»
val Everett, director of the crea-
tive writing program in the English
department. “There is a commit-
ment to recruit minority faculty.

Hemenway has a “sound vision"

But his presence alone may not

For Robert Hemenway. leaving
the University of Oklahoma wasn‘t
easy.

In his 2 1/2 years as dean of the
College of Arts and Sciences there.
Hemenway made tremendous
strides in the areas of fund—raistng,
getting contract grants and in re-
cruiting minority faculty members.

In addition, he was very happy .
friends and colleagues said Hemen~
way probably would have stayed at
Oklahoma for a long time.

But several months ago IIK
made Hemenway an offer he
couldn‘t refuse — to come back
home and lead UK as Chancellor of
the Lexington campus.

“I have a great affection for the
University of Kentucky," Hemen<
way said last week. “Kentucky has
been my home for the last 20 years
or so. It‘s just that I’ve been away
from home a couple of times."

He first came to UK in 1966 as an
associate English professor. In 1968
he moved to the University of
Wyoming, returning to UK in 1973.
He was chairman of UK’s English
department from 1981 until he left
for Oklahoma in 1986.

“Even though I have left and en-
joyed Wyoming and Oklahoma
very much, there's something that
keeps drawing me back here," He-
menway said.

He can‘t pinpoint exactly what
that is - but the Hastings. Neb..
native thinks he might know one
reason why.

“The thing I'm struck by is a
sense of activity that's going on (at
UK," he said. “That always gives
me a sense of a school on the
move."

Indeed, UK is trying to move on
after struggling the last couple of
years with an NCAA investigation
that overshadowed the entire time
versity. In addition, UK has also
had to deal with faculty losses and
financial problems as a result of
Gov. Wallace Wilkinson‘s austere
1988-89 state budget.

But with NCAA sanctions behind
it and increased funding for higher
education a possibility when the
General Assembly reconvenes later
this year. UK is looking towards
the future. Hemenway wants to be

“I think he liked ll here at

vost for research administration
and dean of the Graduate l‘ollcge

that Kentucky provided him was
one he didn't feel he could turn

“I think he realized the potential
that's there," said Robert Lusch.
dean of the College of Business Ad-

value of Bob is that he works on

Gallaher. who officially retires to-

Rent increase for some UK students drawing fire

By ANN HALCOMB
Contributing Writer

A recent rent increase for UK
students living in graduate and
married housing prompted some
tenants to voice their concerns
about the living conditions of the
apartment buildings.

At an emergency meeting on
June 26, University administration
and graduate/family housing rep—
resentatives discussed complaints
concerning the living conditions of
the apartment buildings.

Some tenants said that the recent
rent increase has not been justified
by improved conditions.

According to Mehran Jahed.
Graduate School Senator. there
have been several decades with a
lack of affordable housing. “As far
back as the end of World War II
the university has had a chronic
problem (with) affordable hous-
ing," he said.

Jahed said one of the srudents'
main concerns is that $800,000 that
is supposed to be allocated for
housing is being redistributed or
refunded to other general funds at
the university

“We have a difference in how the
surplus is generated. and how it is

spent. That is our complaint right
now.” said Jahed.

Instead of improving on mainte—
nance and upkeep of the buildings,
money is spent on other needed as—
pects of auxiliary services which
include housing, food service. and
running the student center and
book store. according to Penny
Cox, director of University Hous-
mg.

The rebate money is not used for
improving the buildings because it
is needed for the overall operation
of housing and auxiliary, which are
part of each other.

Students who were living in grad-
uate/family housing during the
spring semester were informed
during finals week that their rent
would be increased by six percent
as of July].

A UK research survey showed
that 59 percent of the residents
were opposed to the rent increase,
while 30 percent believed the in—
crease tobefair.

Residents Jahed, Prasad Pai,
secretary of the Commonwealth
Village Action Committee, and
Freddy Peralta, director of Inter-
national Affairs, first brought be-
fore the UK Student Government
Association complaints and spon-

sored proposals to be looked at on
June 20.

Residents claim that the build-
ings lack proper fire safety equip-
ment, general security measures,
meeting and assembly spaces,
major children's facilities. and
have problems with insects and
cockroaches in virtually all units.

A group that specializes in the
various maintenance problems will
further investigate the complaints
and needs of the residents and re-
port their findings to the groups in-
volved.

The sponsors of the SGA resolu-
tion proposed that the UK adminis-
tration should seriously consider
not raising the rent for the next
year. They also hope to convince
the administration to give advance
notice of at least six months for fu-
ture proposed increases in rent.

All of the proposals will be
looked into during the coming year,
Cox said.

“An advising committee was es-
tablished and will meet with the
administration on a monthly basis
beginning in August," Cox said.

Representatives from each com-
plex will be elected to help reach
agreements on the proposals.

“The committee will look into all

UK, city join to fight drug abuse

By ELIZABETH C. MOORE
News Editor

Lexington Mayor Scotty Baesler
and UK President David Roselle
announced Friday that they are
teaming up to fight drug abuse in
Lexington.

“We are not immune from the
problems of many communities
throughout the country.“ Baesler
said during a news conference.

“(We have) to fight back as best
wecan."

The first step Baesler and Ro-
selle have taken is the formation of
a ﬁlo-member task force called the
“Fighting Back" task force. It is
comprised of citizens who are
knowledgeable in the field and who
represent major elements in the
community.

The task force gets its name
from a $26.4 million grant spon-

New chancellor glad to be home

Continued from Page i

Hemenway and two others to Ro~
selle for the chancellor position.

“He was strongly endorsed and
well—received." Roselle said.
"He‘s known as a good teacher I
anticipate he will leave his stamp
, . .l‘m hoping for big things."

Administrators point out Hem-
enway‘s love of education 7 he
plans to continue teaching even
while holding the chancellor posi-
tion.

Perhaps his love of the profes»
sion stems from his voracious
reading habit. Hemenway. a top
scholar, doesn‘t watch much tele-
vision —— he doesn‘t even own a
TV set wand likes to spend his
free time roaming around librar-
ies.

He keeps his eyes .- and ears

open.

“A lot of people don't listen
well.” Lusch said. “Bob Hemen-
way listens well. If you do that.
you‘re a good leader ”

Other descriptions of Hemen-
way are equally as flattering
many say he‘s open. energetic
and straightforward Hemenway
laughs when he hears that

"id he happy to he described
in those terms." he said ”What i
hope to be is the kind of person
anyone can talk to, l enjoy meet»
ing people ”

Hemenway can‘t say for sure
how long he‘ll stay at UK

“I told the search committee

my intention is to be in this Job
for six years or so. then l would
hope by that time we would be
able to see the ways in which the
campus had made real progress
which I was a part of." Hemen-
way said

"l hope to make [K a truly
tirsterate university one that
competes not only with the lllSlir
lutions m the southeast hut oar
tionally as well

llememyay is no benchmark
man He aims high. and he
doesn't see why l'K shouldn‘t

‘Ghostbusters’ II uses Murray’s talents to surpass original

By TIM FOGLE
Staff Critic

Just like the pink, slimy goo that
eventually covers the majority of
New York City, “Ghostbusters II“
is covered with a syrupy coat of
good feelings and sentimentality to-
ward the original. Everyone’s just
so nice, polite and funny without
being pushy (even Bill Murray)
that it's hard to find anything to
complain about.

The sequel begins five years
after the ‘Busters triumphant vic-
tory over the giant marshmallow
man. In that time Dan Aykroyd
and Ernie Hudson have been re-
duced to performing at children's
birthday parties (they‘d rather
have lie-Man) while Murray is the
host of a sleazy cable show about
psychics.

Harold Ramis has returned to
academia to perform experiments
on human emotions and Sigoumey
Weaver, having ended her
relationship with Murray, has mar-
ried, had a baby and divorced.

It seems nobody needs the Ghost-
busters anymore.

But the ill will felt by New York-
ers has embodied itself in a giant
river of slime below the city.
Every ghost, goblin, poltergeist
and spirit in the tri-state area is re-

juvenated by this evil and sudden-

1y, as Murray puts it “stuff hap
pens, and people don’t know what
to do. So who you gonna call?" And
the Busters are back. ‘

That same evil threatens to de-
stroy the city if Murray and the
gang can‘t save Weaver‘s baby
Oscar (a scene-stealer for sure)
from the clutches of a 16th-century
painting that‘s begun to live again
and needs a child in which to be re-

Record makes

Hemen way solid
choice to lead UK

During its heyday, someone once said that
the University of Kentucky could sign a po-
tential basketball recruit based on its name
only. Such was the powerful tradition Ken-
tucky had at the time.

Although that may not necessarily be true
anymore, 3 similar statement can be made
about UK‘s new Chancellor for the Lexington
Campus, Robert Hemenway, who officially
begins work July 1.

Hemenway, approved by the UK Board of
Trustees on May 2, has been praised for his
fine work at attracting and recruiting top
minority faculty wherever he has gone.

He did it at UK when he was chairman of
the English department from 1981 to 1986, at-
tracting such outstanding scholars like
Charles Rowell, Edgar Tidwell and Sandra
Govan to UK. He also did it at the University
of Oklahoma as Dean of the College of Arts
and Sciences there the last two-plus years.

One of the Administration’s chief goals is
to attract -— and keep — minority faculty
and staff at UK.

That effort hasn’t been helped in the last
few months. Trustee member A.B. “Happy”
Chandler’s racial remark to a Kernel report-
er sent a wave of dissention through blacks
and whites at UK when the former governor
wasn’t removed from the BOT.

It was hurt even more, some prominent
black leaders at UK said, after the NCAA
placed sanctions on the UK basketball team
for alleged wrongdoings. The three people
most hurt by the NCAA’s ruling — Eric
Manuel, Dwane Casey and Chris Mills —— are
black.

That negative image has hurt UK. But
many leaders at UK think Hemenway’s hir-
ing may help to reverse that trend.

Hemenway is a scholar in African-Ameri-
can literature. He is also the author of a bi-
ography of a black female writer from the
early part of the 20th century, Zora Neale
Hurston, which increased black awareness
and drew critical acclaim.

By the end of the 19705 and mid-1980s,
UK’s English department had the strongest
African-American literary studies program
in the south. Hemenway’s presence was a
part of this.

Although Hemenway’s devotion to minori-
ty recruitment was just one of the reasons
he was hired, it is the most important one.
His reputation alone for helping blacks and
others speaks well for someone who is trying
to make a decision about where to further
his/ her career.

Besides being a top scholar, Hemenway is
regarded as a good listener and someone
who will always have his door open for stu-
dents. Improving UK’s image is just an
added plus to a man who will help guide UK
into the next decade.

Cleaning up

America has renewed concern about environment after oil spills

The public 5 reaction to three major oil
spills off the coasts of Rhode Island, Del-
aware, and Texas last weekend under-
scored America’s renewed concern about
the environment.

It is ironic that these spills came so
soon after President George Bush pro-
posed a major new environmental policy.

Bush made the environment one of the
major pegs that he ran his campaign on
In fact, he went to Boston Harbor to crit-
icize his opponent 5 environmental re-
cord.

Most environmentalists doubted Bush’s
sincerity and commitment to the issue. A
slow and inefficient government response
to the Alaskan oil spill did nothing to
allay these fears and nagging doubts.

Then Bush followed through on his
promise and offered up a dramatic new
environmental policy

Specifically he proposed:

0 Cutting sulfur dioxide emissions by 10
million tons by the year 2000. This would
require coal- -buming power plants to in-
stall expensive scrubbers to ensure they
were not emitting a dangerous level of
sulfur dioxide. The 10-million ton reduc-
tion represents a 50-percent cut in cur-
rent levels.

- Cutting tail pipe emissions from auto
mobiles by 40 percent over the same pe-
riod of time.

-Requiring American automakers in
nine polluted cities to begin producing
methanol-powered cars and to produce 1
million of them annually by 1997.

These proposals have several benefits.

Methanol is a much cleaner burning
fuel than gasoline and would cut down on
air pollution because it does not contain
nitrogen oxides.

Since corn is used in making methanol,
America could substantially reduce the
$5 billion annual corn subsidy for fann-
ers. The savings could help ease the cos
