PROJECTS EDITOR

More than a year ago. President Lee Todd's Commission on
Diversity advised him to boost black faculty to 7 percent of the

total by 2006.

Yet last week. UK announced the commission's suggestion
would likely be cut almost in half to a goal that UK “could real-

istically achieve." Todd said.

But the lower goal worried commissioners who feel the ad-
ministration could be backpedaling from its commitment.

“That in every way stiﬂes advancement," said Dr. Leon As-
sael, a commission member and outgoing dean of the College
of Dentistry ”It‘s a rejection of the concept of why we're doing

this and what our mission is."

Defending "The Dream and the Challenge"

UK's 2003-06 strategic plan draft. released last week. calls
for UK to increase the percentage of black faculty members
from 3.5 percent to 4 percent by 2006. “I was trying to set some-
thing we could realistically achieve," Todd said. “The real issue
is we‘re not adding a lot of faculty right now."

Provost Michael Nietzel said achieving the commission's

goal would be nearly impossible.

“If we added faculty at the rate we have the past two years.
and every single one of them was African-American, you
wouldn‘t get 7 percent." Nietzel said. “It‘s a good goal to put
there. Is it likely we‘ll achieve it? Frankly it‘s not."

Commission members said they created the goal because
blacks comprise 7 percent of Kentucky's population.

The lofty goal would also have encouraged the university
to make a real push to achieve it. said Anthony Hartsﬁeld of

the diversity commission.

“If we shoot for 7 or 8 [percent] and end up at 6, we‘re still
double where we were." Hartsﬁeld said.

The strategic plan. dubbed “The Dream and the Chal-
lenge,“ has not been ﬁnalized. Feedback will be accepted
through this aﬁernoon. The ﬁnalized plan will be presented to
the Board of Trustees on June 24.

Minorities lag behind women
in administration advances

Inner circle: Todd has hired more women, but
only one black administrator reports directly to him

By Scott Sloan
norms EDITOR

When Lee Todd took office in July 2001, no women
or minorities reported only to him. Almost two years
later, the number of women has dramatically increased,
but minorities still lag behind.

While the number of minori-

ty appointments elsewhere in the

lNSlDL

administration increase, the core

group surrounding the president
remains mostly white, a situa-
tion critics say could prevent
Todd’s verbal commitment to di-
versity from being emulated

across campus.

two commissions focusing on the status of women and

Todd’s Commission on Diversity proposed last
March that the university increase the percentage of

UK’s 2003-06 strategic plan released last week, the UK
administration reduced the proposal to 5 percent.

Students research UK’s resources

By using both sides of pa-
per and reducing margins.
UK could save $20,000 a year.

This is just one of the
ﬁndings of a forestry class
that compiled statistics con-
cerning UK's energy and wa-
ter use. waste management.
transportation. land and edu-
cation.

Mary Arthur. associate
professor in the forestry de-
partment. leads the ecology
course. designed 10 years ago.
It has 13 students. divided
into 5 groups. which focus on
natural resources pertaining
to UK.

“The students are con-
stantly getting new data."
Arthur said. “Just yesterday
they were adding the ﬁnal

points to their power point
presentations. They kept say-
ing ‘we found new data.”

Arthur's class focused on
aspects that UK could consid-
er to make it more environ-
mentally friendly. Improving
bike paths. increasing student
housing and promoting alter-
nate modes of transportation
are very important to reduc-
ing the harm that UK exhibits
on the environment. they
said.

The class found that to in-
crease land. UK needs to limit
parking by 2.5 percent over
the next ﬁve years. Currently,
one acre can hold 100 cars in
a lot and 400 cars in a parking
structure.

Another ﬁnding is that
UK initially started out with
50 acres. Today it consumes a
span of 841.6 acres.

Elizabeth Allinder. a nat»
ural resource conservation
senior. wants to make more
people aware of the environ-
mental issues at UK.

“Our goal is to put more
ecological education classes
in UK's University Studies
Program.“ Allinder said.
“Making it a requirement of
the university is one alterna-
tive.“

Allinder‘s group did a
random survey of UK stu-
dents. They found that 62 per-
cent of UK students knew
current environmental press-
ing issues. while 60 percent of
students could not name a
law about ecology or the envi-
ronment.

Ryan Pinkston is a stu-
dent in the group that focuses
on waste materials manage-
ment. He says that buying

materials with no excess
packaging is very beneﬁcial
for the environment.

Pinkston said paper prod-
ucts make up the majority of
materials recycled by UK.

“Recycling one alu-
minum can saves six ounces
of gas." Pinkston added.

Arthur‘s class found that
UK is behind the University
of North Carolina and the
University of Michigan in the
amount of materials it recy-
cles. But they feel UK is well
on its way to becoming a
leader.

"UK can learn a lot more
from other campuses‘ experi-
ences on how to make more
use of their natural re—
sources." Arthur said.

Budget problem
on the mend,
56 officers say

Money: Outgoing president says budget shortfall
may still exist, but situation has been alleviated

ByhuILelghtty

STAFF WRITER

In February. Student
Government members re—
ported the possibility of a
$10,000 deﬁcit for this year.
Now. outgoing President
Mary Katherine Thompson
says things are looking bet-
ter alter the ﬁnancial straits
prompted a spending freeze
this semester

Though a deﬁcit may
still exist. 80 members say
it will be smaller. but
Thompson and others said
they are not ready to give es-
timates or exact ﬁgures.

Tim Robinson. the pre-
vious SG president, said in
February that the deﬁcit
happened when 86 antici—
pated a student fee increase
of 855.000 that UK adminis-
tration never approved. 80
received about $255,000 this
year from the student fees
that are added to every stu-
dent's tuition. This year.
that money and other funds
were budgeted for such
things as scholarships. con-
certs. parties and grants to
student organizations.

In addition to the spend-
ing freeze that administra-
tors recommended and SG
adviser John Herbst 0r-
dered. Thompson and Herb-
st said she and others have.
been working resolve the ﬁ.
nance issue.

Thompson said she
doesn‘t like deﬁcit spending
or ﬁnancing on credit.

“I deﬁnitely carried that
philosophy over to SG." she
said.

Herbst said he thought
Thompson and others, in-
cluding Vice President Joe
Ruschell, had helped to re-
duce the shortfall.

“Mary Katherine and
Joe have worked really hard
to minimize any deﬁcit." he
said.

While 86 may be com-
ing out of the year a little

better than anticipated,
some students say they ex-
pected more from the orga-
nization.

Anne Sharpe, a commu-
nication disorders junior
who works with the Catholic
Newman Center on campus.
said her group felt let down
when they heard the news
about SG money problems.

“The Newman Center
wanted money for a service
trip. and they (SG) said they
did not have that money for
service grants." Sharpe
said.

She said she had coordi-
nated a community service
trip to a Navajo reservation
in New Mexico for spring
break. but the group almost
didn't go because 86 wasn’t
accepting applications for
grants to organizations. as
one effort to cover its deﬁcit.

“We went, we just had
to fund-raise a lot more,"
she said. “It was a disap-
pointment for us, because
80 was supposed to have
this money for the service
grants."

Incoming President
Rachel Watts saw things dif-
ferently.

“That was a sacriﬁce we
had to make in order to be
in a ﬁnancial situation to
give out more money next
year," Watts said.

Watts takes ofﬁce this
summer and said she plans
for a conservative budget,
but she said that she wants
to dedicate more funds to-
ward student organizations
next year.

“We want any organiza-
tion that needs any type of
funding to come in next
fall." she said.

Watts said that she is
looking for a qualiﬁed ﬁnan-

Georgians plan
whites-only prom

ASSOCIATED PRESS

ALBANY. Ga. ~ A year
after holding their ﬁrst inte-
grated prom. some students
at Taylor County High
School have decided to again
hold a separate. private par-
ty for whites only

While many whites say
they still plan to attend next
week's integrated prom, the
decision to hold the whites-
only prom this Friday sad-
dened senior Gerica Mc-
Crary. who helped organize
last year‘s dance.

“I cried." said McCrary
who is black. “The black in
niors said. ‘()ur prom is
open to everyone.”

Juniors are in charge of
planning the prom each
year and last year they de-
cided to have just one dance

the ﬁrst integrated prom
in 31 years in the rural
Georgia county 150 miles
south of Atlanta.

Until then. parents and
students organized separate
proms for whites and blacks
after school ofﬁcials stopped
sponsoring dances. in part
because they wanted to
avoid problems arising from
interracial dating.

This year. a small num-
ber of white juniors decided

they wanted a separate

others." said McCrary. who
plans to major in biology at
Columbus State University.

The school has 439 stu-
dents. 232 of them black.
McCraiy and a white friend
passed out fliers informing
students of all races that
they would be welcome at
the May 9 prom at nearby
Fort Valley State University.

The private prom is Fri-

Erin Posey. a white seo
nior. said the junior class
joined together in hosting
last year's prom, but this
year's class wasn't uniﬁed.

"i think a lot of seniors
were disappointed." she
said. “Now we have to
choose between two groups
of friends."

Posey plans to attend
both proms. “I had some
white friends who were not
going to the other (inclusive)
prom." she said. “i wanted to
have time with everybody."

After school integra-
tion. separate proms were
common in the rural South,
but Taylor County was
among the last to cling to
the practice.

Hard to categorize: Caitlin Cary's music mixes
country ‘with a mix of rock, pop, folk and soul.’

By Haley Crow
CONTRIBUTING WRITER

After growing up lis-
tening and playing music in
a small town in Ohio. a fe
male musician is bringing
her music to Lexington.

Caitlin Cary. former
band metnber of Whiskey-
town. will be performing at
8 pm. Friday. May 16. at
The Dame.

(‘ary's music career he
gan after college when
Ryan Adams asked her to
sing and play Violin for the
band Whiskeytown. She
performed with the band
until they broke up a mu
ple of years ago. but (‘ary

had fallen in love with per-
forming music. She had
songs of her own that did.
n't ﬁt the style of Whiskey-
town so she decided to go
solo.

Cary's music can‘t be
categorized into one style.
It has country inﬂuences
with a mix of rock, pop.
folk and soul. “I like to lis—
ten to old R &B and soul."
Cary said. “The worst thing
In the world Is a white per-
son trying to make that mu-
sic but I try to incorporate
some of it in my music."

A long list of musi-
cians in a wide range of
categories helped (‘ary as a
musician. "It's hard to pick

a few when you've been lis-
tening to music for 35
years. I‘d have to say in the
type of music I play. Gillian
Welch and Emmy Lou Hare
ris are two of the biggest
influences." Cary said.

Cary‘s solo career he-
gan with the release of her
debut album in 2002. While
You Weren't Looking. Her
second album. I ‘nz Staying
Out. was released in April
2003. Although Cary is still
new as a solo artist. she has
played with several promi—
nent musicians.

Cary opened for Lyle
Lovett on her first solo
world tour. which she con»
siders one of her greatest
achievements so far. Cary
has also played with Mary
(‘hapin Carpenter. one of
the many guest musicians
on her sophomore album:

Audley Freed. guitarist for
the Black (‘I‘owes and cel‘
list .Iane Scarpantoni.

As a musician. (‘ary‘s
main goal is to continue
making IeIoIds she feels
are honest. I don t \\ ant to
be a one-hit-wonder." (‘ary
said. “I want to continue
playing with new people for
a long time."

(‘ary will perform on
stage with musician Kath-
leen Edwards. Both will be
performing songs together
and separately (‘ary will
play songs from both ale
bums

(‘ary said she is excited
about playing with Kath-
leen Edwards and coming
to Lexington. "My booking
agents were throwing darts
trying to ﬁnd good places to
play and Lexington was one
of those places."

Random thoughts about
spring football practice

Start

tape pa-
rade and
go pur-
chase the
commemo-
r a t i v e
shirt.

“ W 9
won:

we meritorious!
were winners today.“ UK
football coach Rich Brooks

declared after the

Blue V“White game Saturday.
Random thoughts follow-

ing spring football practice:

as “Scratch“ better hit
the weight room hard this
summer because he is going
to be doing a lot of pushups
this fall. New offensive coor-
dinator Ron Hudson‘s offense
has scored early and often.

a: Shane Boyd is really
talented. He lost about 20
pounds and is quicker than
ever. His passes have been on
a rope all spring, and he can
scramble out of a collapsing
pocket.

9 I wonder if offensive
line coach Paul Dunn can get
me Dan Marino's autograph?
Dunn and Marino roomed to-
gether while at Pittsburgh.

is Departing senior
Glenn Pakulak may have
been the most valuable play-
er on last season‘s squad.
The Cats need to ﬁnd consis-
tency at the punter and long
snapper positions.

to Did I mention that
Shane Boyd is really good?
Boyd ran for 114 yards on 23
carries and one touchdown
in the three spring scrim-
mages. He also passed for 276
yards with one touchdown
on 19-for-27 passing. Don’t
forget about that 58-yard
catch down the middle in the
Blue/ White game.

e I wonder if Shane
Boyd can punt.

How about defense?

“I am not going to play
any defense," Boyd said. “My
heart isn’t at defense."

Well it was worth a shot.

In the whole ﬁnals spirit,
here is an evaluation of each
position this spring.

Quarterbacks

Jared Lorenzen will be
the starter in the fall and for

tilt football
coach Rich
Brooks chats
between plays
during Ult's
Blue/White
spring scrim-
mage Saturday.
Brooks chal-
lenged his new
team, and said
he was pleased
with the scrim-
mage. Among
those he called
on to work hard-
er this summer
were the entire
offensive line
and the puntlno
unit.

scon usmnsror l
KERNEL surr

good reason. He was near
ﬂawless all spring and is in
the best shape of his career.
Shane Boyd will take some
snaps this fall. too.

Both quarterbacks have
passed Hudson's “crash
course" in the new offense.

Offensive backfield

For the moment, Alexis
Bwenge is the man at tail-
back. He will make a lot of
defenders look bad this fall
with his cutting ability

Offensive line

The ﬁrst-team unit only
got better as spring pro-
gressed, but Brooks is hoping
for some depth. He also wants
the O-line in better shape.

Wide receivers

Derek Abney and Tom-
my Cook are a proven two-
man punch at wide out. This
spring only helped solidify
that claim. Add Glenn Holt
and Chris Bernard to the
mix and the Cats have a re-
spectable unit.

Secondary

Zone coverage will help
this group tremendously.
Safety Muhammad Ab-

dullah came out of nowhere
this spring to claim a start-
ing spot. Corners B0 Smith
and Antoine Huffman ended
the spring with praise from
Brooks. Mike Williams
leaves spring as the other
starting safety.

Defensive line

By switching to the 3-4
defense, there will be one
less lineman come fall. But
the Cats are in good shape
with Vincent Burns, Jeremy
Caudill. Lamar Mills and E1-
ery Moore in the rotation.

Linebacker

This position is still up
in the air. D-line converts
Raymond Fontaine and
Deion Holts eased into their
new roles. Justin Haydock
had a great spring at inside
linebacker.

Special teams

The good: Taylor Begley
and the kicking game with
Nick Seitze as the snapper.

The bad: the entire punt—
ing game. High snaps and
short punts will have to be
corrected by fall. Anthony
Thornton and Sevin Se-
curovic will battle to replace
Pakulak.

women were hired or appointed to the

positions. with one of those appoint-
ments being a black woman.

Three of the 10 changes came at the
beginning of Todd's presidency when
he said he looked to people with “insti-
tutional knowledge" to aid in his transi
tion.

Minority candidates have bolstered
the middle tier of administrative posi-
tions recently. including the high-proﬁle
hiring of an lndianAmerican man as
dean of the College of Business & Eco~
