SGA Senate upset over presidential search committee

Resolutions call for BOT
to change search process

By GREGORY A. HALL
Staff Writer

The Student Government Associ-
ation Senate unanimously passed
two measures last night to reform
UK’s presidential selection pro-
cess.

The special meeting, called by
SGA President Sean Lohman Tues-
day night, was in reaction to Board
of Trustees Chairman Foster Ock—
erman’s decision not to appoint
Lohman to the presidential search
committee at Tuesday’s BOT meet-
ing.

The first measure passed was a
resolution to amend the Universi—
ty’s governing regulations, transfer-
ring the power of the appointment
of the student member from the
BOT chairman to the SGA.

The resolution will be presented
to the Board of Trustees at its next
meeting in February.

The second measure is an
amendment to the SGA Constitu-
tion giving the president the power
to appoint the student member to
the presidential search committee.

Lohman said that he will take the

measures to the Faculty Senate
Council and to the Faculty Senate
for their suppon, making the reso-
lutions concurrent.

“The concept, 1 think, is correct,”
said council chair-elect Carolyn S.
Bratt. “I would be supportive (de—

“Why should the governing regu-
lations stay as they are if the facul«

and the community colleges know
what‘s best for the community col—
legcs and Foster Ockerinan knows
what‘s best for the student body?"

sponsor of the measure and a for-

The decision by UK trustees to

how little respect many trustees
have for students, several student
leaders said last night.

Three UK theatre students are
planning to send petitions to Uni-
versity officials today expressing
“strong dissatisfaction" over a re-
cent decision to deny tenure to
Patrick Kagan-Moore, a popular
theatre professor.

Teachers who are denied tenure
are granted a one-year “terminal
contract” and must leave the Uni-
versity when the contract expires.

“We feel that Dr. Kagan-
Moore‘s performance as a teacher
has been exemplary and we re-

 

gard him as an invaluable asset to
the university and its students," the
petition said. “...(Those) responsi-
ble for this decision have not acted
in (students') best interest."

The petition drive, whtclt began
Monday, has collected 66 signa-
tures from UK theatre students. ac-
cording to Rebecca Davis, one of
the drive’s organizers.

The petitions will be sent to
Chancellor of the Lexington Cam-
pus Robert Hemenway, College of

AUBURN, Ala. — UK’s road
woes continued last night as the
Wildcats snatched a loss from the
jaws of victory.

Derrick Dennison scored 27
points last night, including two
free throws after a steal with 13
seconds remaining as Auburn ral-
lied from a 14-point halftime def-
icit for a 74-70 Southeastern
Conference victory over UK

Auburn (6-11 Overall, 3-4 in
the SEC) tied the game at 70
when Chris Brandt hit a pair of
free throws with 26 seconds to
play.

UK (8-9, 4-4) set up for a po-
tential game-winning shot, but
Dennison stole a pass and drove
toward the basket, where he was
fouled by Sean Woods.

Dennison hit both free throws

Derrick Miller, who led UK with
21 points, missed a driving shot
with five seconds left

Zane Arnold grabbed the re-
bound and was fouled. Arnold hit
both free throws to seal the victo-
ry, which gave Auburn more
league wins than all of last sea-
son.

UK, which had a two-game
SEC winning streak snapped, has
yet to win on the road this sea—
son, dropping to 0-6.

Ronnie Battle scored 18 points
for Auburn, Arnold 15 ——- includ-
ing 12 in the second half —— and
Brandt 12.

Arnold also grabbed 18 re-
bounds as the Tigers held a 43-27
advantage on the boards.

For UK. Deron Feldhaus and
Reggie Hanson each scored 17
points and John Pelphrey added
10.

The Wildcats led by as many
as 17 points in the first half and
settled for a 44-30 lead at half-
time as Miller scored 15 points
and Feldhaus added 10.

But Auburn, which was 2-16 in
the SEC last season, exploded in
the second half, quickly getting
back in the game with a 17-7
spurt in the first seven minutes.

Dennison gave the Tigers their
first lead since the opening min-
utes when he converted a three-
point play with 9:45 remaining to
make the score 58-57.

From there, the two teams
swapped the lead six times.

In the first half, UK led 21-15
with 10 minutes to play, then
went on a 19-8 burst which gave
the Wildcats their biggest lead of
the game, 40-23. Miller capped
the run by converting a three-
point play.

 

 

Braves swap 2 to Mariners for Presley

Associated Press

ATLANTA — The Atlanta
Braves traded right-handed pitcher
Gary Eave and a minor leaguer to
the Seattle Mariners yesterday in
exchange for third baseman Jim
Presley.

Presley. 28, hit .236 with 12
home runs and 41 RBIs last season.
He played in only 117 games due
to a back injury.

“Presley is completely healthy
now," Braves general manager
Bobby Cox said “He’s a tough
player, a gamer, who’ll be good to

have in the clubhouse. He should
be the guy to supply us with the
power we need. We’ll keep an open
mind about positions and will con-
tinue to try to make further deals."

Eave, 26, was 13-3 with a 2.80
earned run average for the Braves’
Richmond farm club in the Triple
A International League last season,
and 2-0 with a 1.13 ERA in three
games with the Braves last season.

The Mariners also received mi-
nor-league third baseman Ken Pen-
nington.

Pennington, 23, hit .275 with 10
homers and 64 RBI with Durham

of the Class A Carolina League. He
will be assigned to Seattle's Triple
A club at Calgary of the Pacific
Coast League.

Presley, the Mariners’ fourth-
round selection in the June, 1979
draft, has a .250 career average
with 115 homers and 418 RBI in 5
major league seasons. He averaged
26 home runs and 93 RBI per sea-
son from 1985-87.

In 1986, Presley was named to
the American League All-Star
squad. He hit 27 home runs and had
107 RBI that season.

F reestyling to NCAA qualification

Lady Katfish
hopes to repeat

last year’s goals

By BRIAN JENT
Managing Editor

For some swimmers, returning to
the water after a successful season
can be intimi-
dating and diffi-
cult. But Lady
Katfish Bartley
Pratt is having
few problems 4’"
adapting. .

As a junior .
last year, Pratt
became the first a
Lady Katfish to ‘
qualify for the
NCAA Swim- PRATT
ming and Diving Meet. The Hunts-
ville, Ala., native also set UK
swimming records in the 500-,
1,000- and 1,650-meter freestyle.

And she has left the starting
blocks this season determined to
make her senior season one to re-
member.

“I would like to finish off my
swimming career on a good note.
hopefully my best,” Pratt said.

And, so far, the freestyler is do-
ing just that.

At the Purdue Invitational last
semester she broke her SOO-mcter
freestyle record by swimming it in
4:52.42. She also teamed with
Wendy Hipskind, Jocelyn Danko
and Kellie Moran to break the 800-
meter freestyle relay record during
that meet.

Pratt, however, said that she is
not concerned with holding
records, and she said that she hopes
her records will be shattered by
younger, more talented athletes in
the future.

“It feels good (to have these
records). but I hope the records
don’t stay because I want (UK) to
get better and better," she said.

 

 

IICHAEL MU/Komol Stlfl

Senior Lady Kattish Bartley Pratt dives into the pool at the Harry A.
Lancaster Aquatic Center during a recent practice.

Pratt‘s unselfish attitude sets a
positive tone for the team.

“She picks up our morale a lot,"
freshman Hipskind said. “During
practice, she encourages (Margaret
Boliver) and I. She says that we can
help the team and stuff like that."

And the Upperclassmcn respect
Pratt as well.

“She is a very good leader and
gets behind everyone,” junior Mary
Jane Brown said.

Besides being a leader for the
team, the coaching staff sees Pratt
as a role model, not just in terms of
swimming, but personally as well.

“I have a tremendous amount of
respect for her,” UK assistant coach
Mark Kluemper said. “She is not
only a hard worker, but our team
captain. In addition to that, she has
had all the pressures which comes
with being a senior in college
and a lot of demands on her time.”

During the fall semester, Pratt, an

accounting major, was not only
maintaining her high academic and
swimming standards, but also try-
ing to prepare for a career after col-
lege, which. of course. was not
easy.

“It took a lot of time last semes-
ter, but really it comes down to
budgeting your time better,“ Pratt
said. “I’m looking forward to this
semester because the interviews are
all over, and I have a lighter course
load. I will get the rest I need and
can concentrate more on swim-
ming."

And the added rest and her deter-
mination should help Pratt fulfill
her season goal of returning to the
NCAA Swimming and Diving
Meet.

“I am pretty confident that I can
make it a conference," she said.

UK tennis has high aspirations

By CRAIG HENDERSON
Contributing Writer

Even with two of the nation‘s
more difficult schedules, the UK
men‘s and women’s tennis teams
have‘ their sights set this season on
the NCAA Championships.

Both squads will play several of
the nation’s Top 20 teams, but both
also have the talent this season to
take on any opponent.

Members of the men’s tennis
team hope that even with the tough
schedule they will be able to con-
tinue their recent rise to power in
the world of collegiate tennis.

The Cats have finished in the top
10 for the last two seasons, and
along with the Lady Kats have
made three consecutive trips to
NCAA postseason play.

Men’s coach Dennis Emery, who
is in his eighth year at UK, said he
believes that he has enough young
talent to make a strong showing
this spring, even though he lost
five of his top seven players from
1989, including Adam Malik, who
turned professional.

“We‘re a young team with lots of
good athletes at several positions.
The team is playing better than I
expected this early in the season,
and we'll get better throughout the
year,” Emery said.

Junior Ian Skidmorc, who likely
will play No. 1 doubles with soph-
omore standout John Yancey, said
that 1990 will not be a rebuilding
year.

“We’ve lost good players, but we
have good players now. There is
great potential, and all of our guys
are very enthusiastic," he said.

Some of Skidmore’s spring goals
include beating “the big teams" and
making a good showing nationally.

“I, along with the others, would
like to improve individually and
build (toward) the NCAAs,” Skid-
more said.

Emery’s goals this season in-
clude a trip to the national champi-
onships and havmg two of his
players named to All-America lists.
His squad accomplished both goals
the past four seasons.

“We‘d also like to finish in the
top ten in the country,” said Emery.
whose team is ranked No. 14 in
preseason polls.

UK is getting used to tough
schedules. In 1989 UK defeated 12
teams on the Top 25 list and four
teams in the top five. This year the
Cats’ schedule includes No. 2
Georgia and No. 9 California-
Irvine.

Yancey, who had a 24-15 record
in 1989, will play in the No. 1 sin-
gles spot. Another top player, jun-
ior Sammy Stinnctt, suffered a
stress fracture in his hip last sum-
mer and will sit out this season.
Stinnctt will have two years of eli-
gibility when he resumes play in
the fall.

Fiery, aggressive and dynamic
are words coach John Dinneen uses
to describe his 1990 lady Kats.

“We have fighters on this team
that are going to go after people,"
Dinneen said. “We will dictate the
flow of play, and this is important
in college tennis.“

The Lady Kats lost all-time win
leader Sonia Hahn to graduation,
and No. l prospect Jane Yates quit
the team last fall, but Dinneen said
he thinks his team will not let those
events affect them.

“We are using this in a positive
manner," he said. “Because of it,
the six girls we will be playing
have bonded together, realized their
niche in the success of the team,
and all are included in the system.

“On paper, we may not be as
strong as some may have thought.
But I think we'll be tough.”

And like the men, the Lady Kats
have a rough spring schedule with
which to contend.

“We’ll definitely take our
lumps," Dinneen said. “Every
match will be tough, and I don't see
us getting a breather. But it’s the
only way to get better.”

With only six players, it will be
difficult for the women to score
points. Upperclassmcn contributing
this spring are senior Lene Holm
Larsen and juniors Helen Fabisie-
wicz, Melissa Nelson and Mindy
Seven.

The UK women are hoping to
qualify again for the NCAA Cham-
pionships and to place among the
Southeastern Conference‘s top
three teams, Dinneen said.

ArtsPlace series showcases selections of local authors

Poetry,
short fiction
highlighted

By HWTER HAYES
Assistant Ans Editor

The Lexington Ans and Cultural
Council is sponsoring a series of
monthly poetry and shon fiction
readings at ArtsPlace for its spring
season.

The series, which showcases lo-
cal authors, is designed to bring
recognition to the talent in central
Kentucky and to make people aware
of the entire scope of the ans in the
region.

Herb Wilbum, production coordi-
nator for the council, said that “it’s
part of the council's policy to pro-

mote central Kentucky artists. Not
only visual artists but also writers
— that’s the purpose of the pro-
gram."

The series. which began Sun.,
Jan. 14 with an invitational reading
by Mary Ann Taylor Hall, consists
of works that were selected by a
group of three jurors.

“We have a call each spring for
people to submit their poetry and
shon fiction," Wilbum said. “They
can submit ten type-written pages
and the jury goes through and picks
eight to ten people to read. Usually
every year they invite one person
who did not submit (any work) but
is a welLknown author —- a central
Kentucky author that they want to
begin the series.”

The jurors consist of one repre-
sentative from UK, one from Tran—
sylvania University and a person
who read in the series the previous
year.

   

Two of the jurors, George Ella
Lyon and Lance Olsen. read in last
year’s series but Olsen is serving as
the UK representative, Wilburn
said.

Olsen, a professor in the English
department, said the jurors begin
selecting the works for the series
several months in advance.

“Early in the fall they send the
manuscripts and (the jurors) have a
couple of months to look them
over." Olsen said. “Then we all met
as a group and lo and behold there
was a tremendous amount of agree-
ment among the judges."

Of the 50-60 works that the jury
had to choose from, eight were cho-
sen for this year's series.

“The point should be made that
these poems and fiction manu-
scripts when they come in, are
anonymous," Olsen said. “'l'here
can’t be any kind of personal biases
and that kind of stuff. (The manu-

you haven’t seen the work yet. It‘s
all done blind."

He said that deciding which sto-
ries to choose is done primarily on
instinct btit the manuscripts must
meet cenain critena.

“A lot of it is based on intuition,
what sort ofjumps out on the page
at you and grabs you either emo-
tionally or aesthetically," Olsen
said. “I certainly look a lot for con»
trol of language. in poetry, control
of language, control ol metaphor
—— that sort ol thing. in liciion l
look for a strong characterization
and a sense of plot. also again lan-
guage."

Olsen added that “what happens
when you’re reading these things
the good pieces just jump off the
page and grab you by the face and
before you know it you have a list
of what you think are the the good
pieces. "

After each juror made his or her
selections, they came together as a
group and chose the tinalists.

“We just had to go down our
lists and say we agree on this one.
we agree on this one, we agree on
this one." ()lsen stated. “A couple
of people had questions about one
piece and the people who felt
strong about it would argue. Then
we would take a vote and see who
wins it, as it were. Nine times out
of ten everybody is ultimately con»
vinced one way or the other. Then
what we would do is pair them so
there were two readings every night
except for the invitational.”

The process went smoothly for
the jurors since all of them were
able to work well together, Olsen
said.

“I was really surprised because
sometimes these judging things
can be disastrous because egos are
at stake." Olsen commented. "And
that was not the case at all ~— it
was very pleasant to work with
these people. l’ve been in situa-
tions where you can just go on for
hours and hours about something
and just go around in circles.

“I think personalities meshed
well enough that there were really
no problems. We were sort of on

VIEWPOINT

Search committee
bears Wilkinson’s
political stench

Anyone who was passing Patterson Office Tower Tuesday
aftemoon undoubtedly detected a foul stench coming from the
18th floor.

It's a stench that has been all too common at UK since
Wallace Wilkinson became govemor of the commonwealth
more than two years ago.

At 'I‘uesday‘s Board of Trustees meeting, Board Chairman
Foster Ockennan appointed 10 people to a committee whose
job is to nominate UK’s next president to the full board.

Ockerman assured the public last month that an honest
nationwide search would be conducted to find a replacement
for David Roselle. We need not worry about politics,
Ockerman told us.

After the circumstances surrounding Roselle’s departure and
the selection of Charles Wethington as interim president, the
University community needed a strong. competent search
committee that people could trust.

But just as Wethington was railroaded through by
Wilkinson’s political henchmen. the same disregard toward the
University was shown in the selection of the presidential
search committee.

Four of the trustees Ockemian appointed to the committee
\y'c'iL‘ either appointed oi reappointed by Wilkinson, but the
most offensive decision w as snutibing student trustee and
Student (iLWL‘I’IIIlICIIl Association President Sean Lohman from
the student representative position on the committee.

Uckeiman bypassed Lohman in favor of Teel Bruner, a
25—year-old third-year medical student who appears to have
had little contact with UK undergraduate life.

Bruner spent his undergraduate years at Centre College in
Danville, Ky., and has never been a prominent figure on the
Lexington Campus. In fact, few undergraduate student leaders
even knew who Teel Bruner was before Tuesday’s board
meeting.

Although it appears that Bruner is a good medical student.
we could think of a dozen undergraduate students who are
better qualified to serve on the presidential search committee,
all of whom have plenty of experience in dealing with campus
life.

Ockerman’s rationale for selecting Bruner was that it would
ensure a voice for the Medical Center and the student body.
But anyone who thinks that a medical student is in touch with
the student body obviously has not been on a college campus
recently.

Since Lohman enrolled at UK as a freshman. he has been
involved with student issues. first as a member of the
Freshman Representative Council, then as a senator in the
SGA Senate and now as president.

Lohman might not have the record of being the school‘s
most vivacious advocate of student rights and resp
