About 3,000 rally to support higher education

By JAY BLANTON
Executive Editor

FRANKFORT — They came from
every corner of the state.

From the small six-to—seven mem-
ber contingent from Elizabethtown
Community College to the almost
400 students and faculty from UK.
each person had a different story to
tell. Each had different concerns,
different problems, different fears.

But for one day yesterday, the
more than 3,000 faculty, students,
administrators and concerned citi~
zens who converged on the Capitol
building were joined by the same
purpose — to plead for more funding
for higher education.

The march on the Capitol. orga-
nized by the Student Advocates for
Higher Education, began shortly
after 2 pm. with a procession up Ca—
pitol Avenue to the steps of the Capi-
tol Building.

University and college contigents
walked together behind banners pro—
claiming their school name. The size
of groups varied. Their spirit didn‘t.

Individuals held signs — some
were upbeat — pleading for more
support for higher education.

Some signs, however. were more
coarse in nature in reference to Gov.
Wallace Wilkinson — proclaiming
”Welcome to Wally World," or
“Wally's Books don‘t work if you
can‘t read."

For students, the sign taped to
Lenny Hall‘s back probably express-
ed it best — “I'm a college art
dent. I work two jobs and I'm stii.
broke.“

As an out-of—state student from
Cincinnati, Hall, a graphic design
sophomore at Northern Kentucky
University. said he has to work full-
time as a landscaper during the
summer and one day a week at
school to make ends meet.

Even with the jobs, Hall said he
doesn't know if he will have enough
money to continue in school.

Hall. though, wasn‘t alone in his
feelings of frustration.

Joesph James, 71, and a member
of UK Donovan‘s Scholar program.
said he came to the march because
he was concerned about keeping
good faculty at UK.

Tammy Dillman, a physical thera»
py sophomore at Somerset Commu-
nity College, was also concerned
about faculty.

“We already lost three instructors
— they‘ve gone out of state and

 

“We bring with us a
message . . . that we
believe the time has
come to make an
investment in the future
of this Commonwealth

and its people.”
David Holton,
march organizer

 

we‘re going to lose more.“ Dillman
said.

Charles Stebbins, president of
Elizabethtown Community College,
is probably worried about low fac-
ulty salaries as well.

But right now Stebbins has more
pressing worries.

A technical center building will be
completed shortly at the E-Town
campus, which will double the avail-
able space at the community col-
lege.

The problem is that it isn‘t known
if there Will be enough funds to open
the center.

Stuart Sprague. a professor of his-
tory at Morehead State. carried a
sign that said Gov. Wallace Wilkin-
son was a “lie-baby” for promising
to keep higher education funding at
its current levels and then dropping
it.

Wilkinson's budget calls for a 0.5-
percent increase in funding for high
er education in the 1988—89 fiscal
year and a 5-perceiit increase the
following year.

In terms of the formula. on which
funding for state universities is com-
pared with other insitutions outside
the state. Wilkinson's budget drops
the percentage of state revenues for
universities from 88 to 83 percent in
the 1988-89 fiscal year.

Sprague. with sign in one hand
and a briefcase in the other, said
that when you cut back in education.
you also make cuts on Kentucky.

Once the march reached the Capi-
tol steps, cheerleaders and mascots
from the state's eight universities
led the marchers in cheers support-
ing higher education.

Four speakers -—» representing dif-
ferent facets of university life wthen
rallied the crowd to support higher
education.

Mrs. King said that the principles
of non-violent behavior that were in-
acted during the civil rights

There are six steps that can be ap-

Mrs. King said.

Broadcast news not based on looks
but on reporting ability, panel says

HEIDI PROBST
Staff Writer

Anchorperson Mindy Shannon
doesn‘t care what she looks like.
Being involved in the news business
is what‘s most important to her.

“I don‘t care what I look like as
long as I can stay in the news busi-
ness," said Shannon, anchorwoman
for WLEX-TV in Lexington. at the
Society of Professional Journalist
(Sigma Delta Chi) meeting last
night.

The topic of disscusion at the
meeting was “Broadcast News,

In addition to Shannon. Ken Kurtz.
news director of WKYT-TV Lexing-
ton, Craig Alexander. news director
at WTVQ, and Dan Dickson and
Shawn Smith, reporters with WKYT-
TV, represented broadcast news on
the panel.

Kurtz said Shannon does not need
to care about what she looks like.
Looks are not considered when hir-
ing a person for an anchoring posi-
tion. Kurtz said.

What is considered is their report~
ing ability, Kurtz said.

When asked if Kurtz would hire
Shannon if she had acne he replied
“yes."

Kurtz said that while anchors are
not hired due to physical appear
ance, they are hired based only on
their reporting skills.

As an example. Kurtz said he
would not hire Fawn Hall because of
her looks and her lack of reporting
experience.

“I have never hired an anchor
without experience," Kurtz said.

Alexander said he does not abide
by policies on appearance either.
whether it's physical beauty or per-
sonal grooming techniques.

“I am not going to defend a policy
on mustaches and beards." Alexan-
der said.

The news directors said their hir-
ing decisions are not biased by the
appearance of their anchorpersons.
but that their decisions are based on
the quality of the news reported.

$255,000 grant to help UK’s research for geological

By JANET BIXLER
Contributing Writer

The coal industry could have a big
future in store during the next 20
years. And geologists want to be
prepared for it, said Harold J. Glis-
koter, chief of the Branch of Coal
Geology for the US. Geological Sur-
vey.

Gluskoter spoke about coal geolo
gy last night in the new UK Mining
and Mineral Resources Building. He
seidnowisthetimetoresearchthe
coal industry while the oil economy
still remains stable.

And UK stands to participate
heavily in that research.

The Kentucky Geological Survey
— run out of the UK geology depart-
ment — has received a $255,000
grant from the US. Geological Sur-
vey to determine the available coal
resources in Kentucky. Congress al-
lotted $1 million for research to Ken-
tucky, West Virginia and Virginia
after Senator Wendell Ford brought
attention to the energy programs at
UK, said James C. Cobb, head
of the coal session.

"'I‘here will be more interest in
coal geology in the future," Gluskot-
er said. Coal is now being produced
at a fast rate, he said.

“What stimulates research is the
perception that we‘ll do a lot with
coal in the future.“

He said it‘s important now to find
out where the available coal is in
order to predict future production.

‘The demand will continue to in-
crease and eventually jump rap-
idly," Gluskoter said. “The demand
for coal is directly linked to crude
oil. This is the time to do research of
coal while we've got the time.“

But the emphasis on coal research
is with the available cool resources,
Gluskoter said. Kentucky produced
about 106.0(1) tons of coal last year.

This, however. represented only a
percentage of the total resources.

 

“What stimulates
research is the
perception that we'll do
a lot with coal in the
future. ”
Harold J. Gluekoter,
U.S. Geological Survey

Some cool cannot be mined with-
out jeopardizing the safety of mine

workers. He said other coal cannot
be mined because of the environ-
ment-related and technological re-
strictions.

Cobb appeared before Ford‘s sub-
committee last September to pro-
mote geological research.

“We are responsible to the state
for determining the mineral wealth
of the state,“ he said. “After work-
ing with coal was we‘ve found
out more and more that most of the
best coal is gone.“

Cobb said 10 billion tons of coal
have been mined in Kentucky. but
halfof the coal is left in the mines.

icizedtobe.

“We are news th‘lt‘VlSitml jour»
nalists are reporters.” Kurtz said.

He said that if broadcast news is
show business. so are newspapers.
adding that televismn was more in
teresting.

Susan White. Lexington Herald»
Leader television writer, said all
three media include show business.

“It's a true t‘act of life . . . noticing
life‘s key differences.” she said.

Hollywood stunts. like the tear

“Broadcast News." would not be tol«

"No (‘BS standards would put up
with that." Kurtz said.

Alexander agreed that broascast
news is more ethical now than it
was in the 70's. "The audience.
mainly, would stand the candy

said.

Kentucky has the largest coal in«
dustry in the country. (‘obb said.
But that ranking is in jeopardy.

”Now we‘re getting a lot of com-
petition from the West. They are
mining cheaply.“ he said. “We're
very worried now that we're not
gonnathave too much of an economy
for mined coal left in the next 20
years."

And that could spell trouble for
the state. he said, as that would take
away “the biggest part of our eco-
nomic base. If our industry declines
we'll be in big trouble. “

UK English department kicking off new master’s program with emphasis in creative writing

Hy SEAN ANDERSON
Senior Staff Writer
and LISA CROUCH ER
Staff Writer

UK will soon attract writers ~ not
as speakers, but as students.

Next fall, UK‘S English depart-
ment will offer a master‘s degree
with a discipline in creative writing.
The new program will join other
prestigious programs around the
country « such as lowa, Stanford
and Brown — which offer an ad-
vanced degree in creative writing.
The requirements are the same as
for a master‘s in English: 24 grad»
uate level hours and a creative,
rather than an academic, thesis.

Quality writing is the aim of UK‘s
program. said Percival Everett, as-
sociate professor of English and di»
rector of the program “We will try
to have a program in which we can
promote good writing," he said.

To that end. he said the writing
workshops for fiction and poetry will
be kept small ~ approximately six
to eight people in the entire program

and an emphasis placed on indi—
vidual work.

“The biggest thing is that there
will be lots of individual attention.“
Everett said. “That's the exciting
thingaboutit."

Everett sees the faculty at UK as
another positive aspect. Besides
himself, the faculty will consist of
professors Guy Davenport and Jim
Baker Hall and associate professor
Gurney Norman. Jane Vance, pro-
fessor in the Honors Program, is a
possible faculty member she
would teach poetry workshops.

“The faculty stacks up against
any in the country,” Everett said. “I
can't think of any that has better
people collectively

To some. creative writing may
seem an odd area to get a degree in,

use

since writing is a personal and crea-
tive act. While there are limits to
the value of the degree, it can help
some realize their potential as writ-
ers and get teaching jobs.

“1 don‘t think you can take some
one who can't write and make them
a good writer," Everett said. He
said that the degree, though limited,
can direct someone and put them
“on track as far as work habits."

Everett said the workshops can
help a young writer because there
are some aspects of writing that can
be taught. “It varies from writer to
writer and teacher to teacher," he
said.

Vance said she realizes that “you
can‘t take somebody who has abso-
lutely no feel for how poetry works
and instill that insight in them, but
there are exercises you can do, and
you can talk about ways of consid~
ering experiences.

“There are ways of gaining access
to deep responses of experience that
can help open up subjects for poetry
or fiction,“ Vance said.

Frank Conroy, director of the Uni-
versity of Iowa‘s Writers' Workshop,
said his program tries to help stu-
dents “become better writers, hope-
fully. at the end of the process than
when they started."

Hall thinks the key to becoming a
good writer is to first learn to be-
come a good reader. “In a good
graduate writing program, you
learn how to read as a writer,“ he-
said. “You can concentrate on that
kind of thing at the graduate level in
a way you can‘t at the undergrad-
uate level.“

Keith Waldrop. director of Brown
University's writing program. said
that some writers “probably should
never come near a writing program
(while) many are helped a great
deal by a writing program, a good
one. . . . I know people who have ar-

rived hesitant and unable to do their
own thing and they have flowered.

“The way we have arranged our
program, we really do think it’s sure
tohelpwriters,”hesaid.

The Brown program requires that
its students complete the master’s
requirement, normally done in one
year, over a two-year period. Wal-
drop said this arrangement gives
students time to write without the
pressure of having to finish degree
requirements. “This is one of the
few times and places that you can
write something and have it taken
seriously," he said.

The Brown program admits 20 stu~
dents per year (40 in the program
overall) and workshops are usually
limited to six to 10 students. Besides
the traditional prose and poetry
areas of the program, Brown also
offers the degree for playwrights.
The faculty consists of three full
professors, an adjunct professor and
three assistant professors.

The Iowa Writers' Workshop is
also a two-year program in either
fiction or poetry. There are two full-
time faculty for fiction (Conroy and
James McPherson) and four full-
time poetry instructors. Visiting fac-
ulty are an important part of the
Iowa Workshop, Conroy said. Recent
visitors include Robert Coover, Joy
Williams, Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. and
John Irving.

the country, an advanced degree
can help someone get a teaching po-
sition at one, Conroy said.

Waldrop said that the degree in it-
self isn‘t worth much, even when ap-
plying for a workshop teaching posi-
tion. However, if someone has
“published work to show plus the de-
gree. it can be invaluable,” he said.

He also said the degree can bring

some “respectability" to a writer
when looking for teaching jobs.

Support for creative writing is
nothing new to UK. “This University
has a long tradition of supporting
creative writing,” Everett said.

Examples of that tradition include
the visiting writers’ seminars UK
sponsors and the annual Women
Writers' Conference —- the only liter-
ary gathering in the nation devoted
to the contribution of women to liter-
ature.

Hall credits UK’s tradition to the
talented and renowned faculty.

“What’s special around here is
perfectly embodied in the presence
of Gurney Norman," Hall said. “To
be able to study and take a
workshop with him is a very impor-
tant experience for Kentucky kids,
especially Eastern Kentucky kids.

“People come from all over to lis-
ten to Wendell Berry, and the same
is true with Guy Davenport. Perci~
val (Everett) also has a growing
readership and a growing reputa-
tion," Hall said.

With all of the experience in UK‘s
English department, it may surprise

Keith Waldrop,
Brown University

some people that such a program
has taken so long to evolve. Hall
said that students have requested a
graduate creative writing program
for many years and it has been dis—
cussed among the faculty, but “no-
body in the department wanted it,
and that included me. Everyone has
a lot of other things they are work-
ing on.

“It takes a long time in a place
like this to set up a program and
implement it. but I think it‘s ready
to go," Hall said.

Everett said that when he came to
UK, everybody wanted the program
and he was asked to direct it.

“My joke about it is that it was a
matter of seniority," Everett said.
“Since I’ve been here less time than

anyone else, I got stuck with it."

The information on UK‘s program
has been sent to 125 universities and
now the faculty are just waiting for
the applications to start coming in.

The application process entails,
along with the standard application
to the master’s program, specifying
which creative discipline the student
is interested in and including sam-

ples of work. Students who special-
ize in poetry should include about 20
poems, and students of fiction must
send about 40 pages of their writing.
The application deadline is March
31.

“If we don‘t get six people who we
think are likely candidates, then
we'll only take four," Everett said.

UK heads
into Vols’
new home

By CHRIS ALDRIDGE
Staff Writer

When Kentucky trots out on the
floor against Tennessee tonight,
there will be the usual 20,000
screaming fans and a band blaring
out the fight song.

But the place will not be 23,000-
seat Rupp Arena and the song won‘t
be the familiar “On, On U of K."

Instead, the Cats will be welcomed
by an expected capacity crowd of
25,000 Tennesseans in the brand new
Thompson—Boling Arena, all slap—
ping their legs and stomping their
feet to “Rocky Top.”

The Vol fans wait year around for
this game. Most of the time, they
don‘t go home dissappointed. Ten-
nessee usually succeeds in beating
UK in Knoxville.

“It’s always traditionally been a
big basketball game for the Vols,"
Sutton said. “But I believe our bas-
ketball team will be prepared to
meet that challenge."

True, this is not the usually-tough
Tennessee team of mid-February.
The Vols are only 5-7 in the South-
eastern Conference and 12-9 overall.

Earlier in the season, things were
peachy in Big Orange country. Ten-
nessee got off to a fast start, blow-
ing through its non-conference
schedule at 7-1 and winning its first
two SEC games.

Since then the Vols have dropped
eight of their last 11 games, includ-
ing a 83-65 laugher at Rupp Arena
on Jan. 16. That slide into oblivion
now has some alumni, fans and
members of the local media calling
for coach Don DeVoe's resignation.

“At this point in time, we don't
look like an NCAA participant,"
DeVoe said. “But then again, we
could get hot.“

A win over Kentucky could be just
the sort of motivation DeVoe needs
to get the Vol train back on track.

“Just because it‘s Kentucky
makes it special," DeVoe said. “It‘s
been a great rivalry, and we‘ve been
able to win a lot of games with them
here in Knoxville."

Both Sutton and DeVoe agreed
that who plays the best early in the
game will be a big key to who wins.

“It‘s always important when you
play on the road to get ahead and
take the crowd out of the ballgame."
Sutton said.

The Cats didn‘t waste any time
when they met Tennessee at Rupp
Arena. Employing its 1-2-1-1 zone
press, UK forced eight UT turnovers
in the first seven minutes and con-
verted those miscues into a 19-4
lead.

“The team that plays great bas—
ketball early certainly does set the
tone for the rest of the game,"
DeVoe said.

DeVoe is hoping for a big game
from Dyron Nix, the league's lead‘
ing scorer with a plump 22.2 points-
per-game average.

Nix was about the only positive
thing on the Vol bench at Rupp
Arena. when he scored 28 points and
hauled in l2 rebounds. Sutton hopes
