How things have changed. Not
only from decade to acade. but
year toyear. '

The Kernel is an evolving news-
paper. growing and changing with
the rotation of new editors and
staff. Our personality and pinion.
pity alters with each change of the
guard. And while maintaining our
responsibility to the people of this
University. we attempt to do our
job the best we can with our given
resources.

As the 10th editor-inchief since

our formal break from the Univer-
sity. I added to bring back to the
Kernel a pldlosophy that had been
ignored dining some of my prede-
cessors’terms.- ‘

it was my goal to direct the
Kernel clitoris! philosophy back
home. fouling upon the events
and activities that shape or affect
the lives it the students. faculty.
staff and administration of this
University.

. This meant less emphasis upon
Associated Press stories. unless.
of came, its effect would involve
members of the community. And
this nieant much more campus
news'y‘tcovering the administration
closer. reporting upon issues in
the General Assembly and the

Cornell on Higher Educatim that
concerned UK and teeming closer
upon campy: government and
service groups.

And it also meant more features
on life at the University. more
coverage of fraternity and sorori-
ty events and allowirg ourselves
to become more accessible to the
public.

Now. as my last edition goes to
press. i feel we have reached
these goals. Our progress was
slow at first —— but steady. with a
fledgling staff learning more and
more each day.

Through our mooning. photos-
raphy. graphics and editing, we
have tried to thaw the ice of apa-
thy surrounding some individuals

fter 154 editions, it’s time to say goodbye

by offering information about top-
lcs that involve - w relate -~ to
the University and to them.

Our editorial page has secured
its position as the campisr only
true forum. offering both oom-
mentary and letters and oolmnns
{remote-readers.

We have been encouraged from
the responses and comments we
have received on our operations.
And I feel this year's staff has in-
stilled into the Kernel a deeper
sense of commitment to the Uni-
versity that will endure for future
staffs.

But after 154 editions as editor—
inchief, it’s time for me to say
goodbye.

The quest for a degree —— and

the raspouttattty of faittluily at-

my final year at tit mm. A

And. finally, I dedicate this edi-

Huff. who was paralyzed from the
neck down by a car accident in 1979.

“All i know for sure is that he
went to bed at about 12:15 and when
we woke up he was dead. I am
handicapped myself and one of the

mate. Frankie Thompson. an unde-
crded freshman.

Huff. originally from Somerset.
was enrolled in his second year at
LTl and had recently decrded to
mayor in business management.
according to Thompson.

The whole incident was a great
shock to all of Huff‘s friends and
neighbors at Holmes Hall, "It was a
freak accident." said Chris Baker. a
business freshman. “I still can‘t be-
lieve he is dead. it was the last
thing I expected.“

According to Paul Harrison. UK
chief of police. Huff apparently died
of natural causes. but no official
statement will be issued until some

Committee seeks improvements in excellence on many fronts

By ALEX CROL’CH
Features Editor

When 139 high school seniors as-
sembled on campus for the first
Merit Day in April 1983. the efforts
of an informal organization. which
had been meeting since January.
had its first success.

Donald Sands. vice chancellor for
academic affairs and head of the
group of administrators. said:
“From our point of view that was a
very successful day. successful in
getting the message across that
bright students should go to UK;
this is the place in the state to go to
college if you're a good student. It
made a great impression.“

Shortly afterward. Sands “wrote a
formal charge to the committee and
gave Mir-selves a name and called it
the Academic Excellence Commit-
tee.“

Merit Day summarized many of
the goals of the committee which be
briefly listed as: to attract high
quality undergraduates. to improve

the academic image. to contribute
to public relations and to raise more
scholarship money

Scholarships were the commit-
tee‘s initial concern. Sands said.
“and then we began to talk about
such things as the academic image
of the University. what people think
about the University. what misper—
ceptions they have and what can be
done to combat those mispercep»
tions."

Changing an image 15 “a long
range thing.“ he said. His concern
is "why (the public l51 still main-
taining those ancient perceptions
about what the University of Ken-
tucky was a long time ago “

As far as public relations at-
tempts go. “there has to be a sort of
soft-sell approach _. we're not sell-
ing soap. we don't want to advertise
(the University) like that. There has
to be a low-key approach that gets
across that image of academic qual-
ity we‘re trying to present.

“There's good if we let the
facts be known that sells the Univer-

srty. he said. "But we do have to
counter the negative images and the
incorrect information. "

Merit Day and Governor‘s Schol-
ars Day. a similar event. are one
aspect of public relations. “We find
there‘s a quick return on what we
do.“ Sands said. “We‘re making a
good impression on parents and stu-
dents throughout the state. "

Another activity the committee
put together was a phone-a-thon
early this year involving 87 faculty
members and 15 students. They
called about 800 high school seniors.
both in state and out

“The students and parents were
delighted to hear from the Universi-
ty of Kentucky." he said. “It meant
a lot to them that someone here
cared enough to call them. We‘re
delighted with the response we got
from them."

These activities constitute ”a new
approach" for UK. Sands said. "it‘s
a sort of thing this institution has
not done much of in the past. It‘s

not unusual at the host
tics “

The selective admissmns policy.
another new step for l'K. was a con
tributing factor to the formation of
the committee and Its concern with
new scholarship funds. Sands said
“We can't Sit back and expect stu-
dents to flock here In the numbers
we need and the quality we thmk
should come. “

Because of L'K‘s limited funds.
Sands said he believes new schol-
arship money "has to be taken care
of by private giving We need to
build up a fund over a period of
years so that we would have ad-
equate scholarship resources and a
stable source of scholarship funds "

The committee is now at the stage
of talking to the Development Office
about how to raise that money. he
said. .

Committee member Barbra
Mabry. director of advising for the
College of Arts & Sciences. de-
scribed its two-hour weekly meet-
ings as "kind of braimtorming (ses-

UHIVOFSl’

sronsl —- things happen almost
every week. The longer we work the
more we see there is to do. Now no
one else 15 charged to do the things
we do We‘re working on many
fronts at once."

Ann Garrity. assistant to the
chancellor for the main campus and
a committee member. said it will
not be permanent: “When the solu-
tions are routine it will go out of
existence."

At the same time it will be a long-
term effort. she said. “We may
want to examine other areas relat-
ing to undergraduate excellence.“
such as retention of students. She
also said the committee is consid-
ering including faculty representa-
lives

Sands said: "This summer we will
reconsider the whole structure of
the committee: ‘Ha'e’s where we
areandwhatwe'vedonesofar—

FINAL WRAPUP

SGA president reflects on his term in office

By SCO‘I'I‘ WILHOIT
Associate Editor

As the term of the Student Government Association
president winch to a close. David Bradford says the
year has been a good one.

“i think we have done a lot for students this year.
more so than what student governments have done in
the past," said Bradford. an accounting senior.

He listed several of his goals, most of which he suc~
cessfully completed as president. Topping his list was
changing the image of SGA. “We are much more visible
and students know we are there to best serve them."

Among the services Bradford said he has changed
over the past year is the short-term loan program and
the student book exchange. “It‘s still incredible the re-
sponse we are getting with the emergency short-term

Student Activities

By FRAN STEWART
Senior Staff Writer

Student Activities Board sponsored more than 700 ac-
tivities this year.

Little Kentucky Derby, La Traviata. the UK birthday
party and the Talking Heads are only a smattering of
the programs SAB organized.

“in terms of magnitude," John Herbst, director of
student activities. said. “this board probably has done
as many activities. at least in the Fall semester, of any
board in the past. ”

According to Herbst and Susan Van Buren, president
of SAB, the committees were marked by some revived
interest, original ideas, solidly laid foundations — and
some obstacles.

"The Cinema Committee has taken a turn around“

loan,” Bradford said. He said that people oonttntally
cometotheofficetousetheloanprogram.

“What i am most proud about with the shirt-tam
loan is that it is a long-term program," he said. Brad-
ford predicted that the loan program will be available
to students for a long time to come.

He said his plan to change SGA‘s image of “apathy"
has worked to make SGA more available to other stu-
dent groups.

”There is so much more cooperation among SGA and
other groups," he said. “l have wanted to pass more
bills and legislation with other organizations and their
leaders."

As vice president last year in the Jim Dinkle adminis-
tration, Bradford characterized SGA as a “back-stab-
bing" organization.

“There is such a difference this year,“ he said. “Last
year there were little political games and back stabbing

everywhere. This year, I hope we have gotten rid of all
of that garbage for good. "

Cutting waste and red tape was another area Brad-
ford listed as a personal achievement he has gained as
president. “We created a new vice president position,"
he said. “The executive vice president will streamline
the executive branch and leave the president with more
time to do other things."

Bradford said he regrets having to leave his office,
but that he has “full faith and confidence"-in Tim
Freudenberg. SGA president-elect. “Tim is extermely
qualified," he said. “I know he will do a tremendom job
next year." '

Bradford will not be leaving UK altogether, however.
He will be entering law school this Fall. He said it will
be difficult for him to leave UK politics. “I will be
around, not to butt in but to offer advice when I'm
asked."

Board is pleased with year’s success

this semester, Van Buren said. “For one thing it's
started meeting its expenditures. This comes in part
from booking one movie a week."

Van Buren also praised the concert committee, which
staged 11 programs in one semester and “handled the
responsibility pretty darn well."

“We were probably one of the first camptses to do
the Talking Heads,“ Herbst said. "The attendance was
fantastic."

Herbst and Van Buren said that although events spon-
sored by the Performing Arts Committee were not well-
attended this year, the group brought quality produc-
tions to campus.

“La Traviata was one of the best reviews I‘ve ever
read in the 10 years I've been here," Herbst said “It's
rare you find something of that quality coming into the
Lexington area.“

Medical Center’s year highlighted
by $5-million cancer research grant

By ANGELO B. HENDERSON
Senior Staff Writer

A Sir-million donation to the UK
cancer center from the Lucille Par~
ker Markey Charitable Trust — the
largest single cash git in the hlSiO-
ry of the University — highlighted
the year for the UK Medical Center.

“The cancer center has the poten-
tial to be leading in the nation over
the long run. and the patient care
program will achieve major promi-
nence on cancer research shortly
after the facility opens,“ said Dr.
Peter P. Bosomworth, chancellor of
the UK Medical Center.

Dr. Ben F. Roach, chairman of
the McDowell Cancer Research
Foundation. said he expects the Lu—
cille Parker Markey Cancer Center
to gain worldwide recognition.

Patrick Stone, director of public
affairs for the Medical Center. said
Phase One. which will focus on pa—
tient care, is projected to be com-
pleted by April 1985.

Phase One will house 28 special-
ized rooms for cancer patients, a
chemotherapy treatment area. a
neutron therapy suite and adminis-
trativeoffices.

Today the ground breaking cere-
mony is taking place for Phase Two
of the center, which has been named
the Dorthy Enslow Combs Research

Center. and will be exclusively de~
voted to cancer research, he said.

The $11.5—million Warren Wright
University Medical Plaza was an-
other accomplishment for the Medi-
cal Center this year.

The Medical Plaza opened Jan. 3.
designed to relieve overcrowded
conditions in outpatient clinics and
increase convenience for patients. It
“has been received very well by
both outpatient visitors and students
as well," Stone said.

The clinics housed in the three
floors of the plaza are dentistry,
medicine, neurology, obstetrics. gy-
necology, pediatrics, surgery, Stu-
dent Health Services, pharmacy.
laboratory and radiology.

Despite the shortage of money
and construction problems this
year. a new SEQ-million Pharmacy
Building currently is under con-
struction and is scheduled for com-
pletion on July 5, 1985. Stone said.
The delay in the completion time
was because of a freeze on capital
construction implemented by Gov.
Martha Layne Collins this year.

Originally the $8.5 mllion autho-
rized would not have been enough to
construct the five-and-a-half-story
building, Joseph V. Swintosky. dean
of the College of Pharmacy. said.
But because of a savings of $1 mil-
lion which occurred through offer-

ring bids for various phases of the
building. he said, they were able to
continue constrution as originally
planned.

“This new building will result in a
considerable consolidation of our
people — pulling it all together,"
Swintosky said.

The UK Hospital began face-lift
procedures this year. Last Decem-
ber, the University Hospital finished
renovation of the eighth floor, and
Stone said renovation of the seventh
floor is expected to be completed by
early 1985.

“Fairly extensive renovation has
and is being done, " Stone said.

Everything did not go as planned
at the Medical Center this year. On
Christmas Day, a five-to—eight-hour
old infant, named Angela Noel by
her nurses, was found abandoned on
a couch in the women‘s restroom
wrapped in a hooded sweatshirt.

According to UK police. the 6-
pound, 3-ounce baby girl had her in-
testines exposed. After two hours of
surgery to correct her birth defect,
Angela‘s condition was upgraded to
serious.

Today, Stone said, Angela is in a
foster home and there have been nu
merous requests for her adoption.
But, he said, there is a list of people
already involved in the adoption
process.

Students to visit People’s Republic of China

By SHEENA THOMAS
Staff Writer

Following in the footsteps of Pres~
ident Reagan. 15 students from the
College of Agriculture will leave for
the People‘s Republic of China for
cultural exchange and an education—
al experience.

The delegation, comprising the
students and their adviser Loys
Mather, chairman of agricultural
economics, will leave May 7 for a
two-week tour of the Agriculture
University of Shandong in China.

The students will begin the trip
with the goal of attempting to “gain
a greater understanding of Chinese
agriculture in one of the most pro-
ductive and the most populated
areas,“ Mather said. This is an ad-

vantage many students will never

This is the College of Agricul-
ture's third invitation from the Agri-
culture University of Shandong to
send a delegation to the country.
The first delegation went two years
ago and consisted predominantly of
faculty from the college.

Last year, however. the invitation
specifically asked for students to
come and study Chinese agriculture.

"The clean in China, who was a
graduate of Cornell University, had
taken a short course in tobacco
(and) was interested in exchanging
information and sending some fac-
ulty and graduate students here, as
well as our people going to China."
said John Robertson, associate dean
ofinstruction.

The University of Shandong pro-
vides three professors to accompany
the delegation on their tours of the
university and the agricultural com-
munes, which Mather described as
cooperatives.

“Each person in the commune,"
Mather said, ”is assigned a plot of
ground which he can ‘lease‘ from
the commune." According to Math—
er, there are no privately owned
farms; all agricultural business is
done through the communes.

Robertson said he hopes the trip
will become at least a semi-annual,
if not an annual event. “They were
extremely kind and graciom hosts."
he said. The university at Shandong
helps to subsidize the students trips,
but about $2,800 will have to be paid
by each student.

He described the Visual Arts Committee as one of the
most visible committees. He said the emphasis on local
and regional artists was “healthy for this particular
year."

Possibly the most unique activities sponsored by SAB
was the Special Activities Committee's dive-in movies
at Memorial Coliseum, Herbst said. "The first one in
the winter months was tremendome successful."

Herbst said LKD brought in about 35.000 for schol-
arships despite low attendance at the events.

Besides extracurricular activities, the board also
sponsored some educational events. such as lectures by
Jack Anderson, a nationally syndicated columnist. and
Shere Hite. a well-known sexologist.

“There was a very nice mixture between educational
and cultural events and the events that were just fun.“
Herbst said.

‘Laugh Track Live’ offers a guffawful lot of cheery comedy

By DAMON ADAMS
Staff Writer

Isn‘t it great to be able to laugh at
the little things in life?

We snicker when a friend falls
asleep with his head pressed against
the car window, drool dripping down
the side of his mouth. We chuckle
about the woes of being single and
having your resident furball scurry
to the door to greet a visiting friend.
We roar at the thought of wearing
flashy Hawaiian pants to the wed»
dings of all our enemies

Humor surrounds is everywhere
we go. but we don’t always appre~
ciate the form it may take. So we
rely on others. the comics, to do the
dirty work of tapping life’s humor
for our understanding and enjoy-
ment. And there aren‘t many better
places to see such talented comics
than at WKQQ’S Laugh Track Live
at the Library lounge.

“People will laugh at anything
that they can relate to." comic

nameless extras dancing out of the
wings. no dancing at all. But Broad—
way audiences were not ready to
handle such a drastic measure. es-
pecially when neighboring mar-
quees boasted such dancecrazed
musicals as “Hello. Dolly!“ and
"Funny Girl." Needless to say.
hordes of dancers came twirling out
of the woodwork and seemed hopeL
lessly out of place

Almost 20 years later. Sondheim
has finally realized his dream in
“Sunday in the Park with George."
a dazzling new musical at the Booth
Theater about artist Georges Seu-
rat While there is no actual dancing
in “Sunday.“ the actors seem to
flow about the stage as if they are
waltzing through life. Their precise
timing and control is essential to the
motif of the show: order. harmony
and concentration.

The curtain rises on the Island of
La Grande Jatte. The time is 1884.
Seurat (Mandy Patinkin) is working
in the sun on an enormous painting
of the island composed entirely of
dots. Order and concentration are

weekly comedy show on Tuesday

Chang coasted on stage. hypnotiz»
ing the audience with his low-key
profile. After getting them into a re-
laxed mood, Chang bombarded the
audience with those frailties of life.

“There’s nothing better to a regu—
lar smoker than waking up every
morning and coughing out some-
thing that looks like a chicken em-
bryo." Chang said. He continued by
slashing two of Kentucky‘s favor-
ites Joe B. Hall and sausage. “Pur-
nell's sausage has every piece of the
pig except the squeal.‘ Chang said.
