UK registrar deals with forged transcripts

 

By Stephen Blount
Contributing Writer

 

Although he probably never ex-
isted. tradition has it that a Greek
slave named Aesop who lived
during the 6th century EC in-
vented a story we modems refer
to as “The Wolf in Sheep‘s Cloth-
ing."

Largely because of this story’s

Biblical counterpart. the moral,
“don‘t pretend to be what you‘re
not" has become a platitude con-
veyed from generation to genera-
tion.

Some UK students. however.
pretend to have academic creden-
tials that they have not earned,
said Randall Dahl. director of the
University‘s registrar‘office.

The forgery. alteration and mis-
representation of University tran-

scripts. though not a common oc-
currence. increasingly have been
noticed by the registrar‘s office.
Although Dahl admits that it is
“hard to estimate how common"
transcript forgery is. he said his
office is aware of about five to
six cases a year.

When a student graduates from
the University and is asked to
submit a transcript to a prospec-
tive employer. many of these em-

ployers verify the student's cre-
dentials by phoning the registrar‘s
office.

In one case. a woman who was
hired by the state government as a
chemist claimed she earned a
bachelor's degree in chemistry.
She never received one.

When the state called the UK
and discovered her fraud. she was
dismissed from her job. The Uni-
versity pressed charges and in

Clinton, Gore make stops in Kentucky

Democratic ticket
hopes to sway
Perot supporters

 

Staff, wire reports

Bill Clinton and Al Gore‘s tour
bypassed Cincinnati Monday for
less populous Northern Kentucky.
stopping in Butler State Park for
what was to be merely a leg-
stretching session.

But the
Democratic
candidates,
surprised by a
large turnout.
seized the op-
portunity to
court former
Ross Perot
supporters by
proclaiming
themselves
the only avenue PEROT
for real change in November.

A UK political science profes-
sor. however, said Perot's deci-
sion not to run for president may
help President Bush more than
Clinton.

Perot bailed out of the presi-
dential race last week citing the
difficulties of running a third-
party campaign.

“It‘s always difficult to run a
three-person strategy," said Don
Goss. "Given that Bush is an in-
cumbent - and that much of his
problem is the economy — he

 

 

 

had to defend his record against
two people, and now it's just one.

“It makes both campaigns sim-
pler. but probably a little easier
for Bush."

Goss cautioned. however. that
it still is too early to tell which
candidate Perot supporters will
tend to back.

It is this fact. coupled with the
Democrats increasing momentum
following their national conven-
tion this month. that is fueling the
current campaign tour. which also
stopped in Louisville Monday.

Appearing on a televised “town
meeting,“ in Louisville. (‘linton
and Gore answered questions
from people who represented al-
most every conceivable voting
bloc.

Barbara Webster. who with her
husband operates an environmen-
tal engineering mm in Louisville.
said she fretted about taxes.

She was torn between Bush and
Perot. Mrs. Webster said. With
Perot's exit. “I‘ll probably vote
for Bush because I‘m afraid. if we
get Clinton. we‘re going to get a
lot of incremed taxes."

Clinton also promised to make
the Uniwd States a leader in pro-
tecting the environment on AIDS.

 

J!" MIN/Kama M

 

Democratic presidential candidate Bill Clinton and runn‘ mate
Al Gore stopped at Butler State Park in Carrolton. Ky. ay
where they were greeted by supporters.

February. the woman was con-
victed of second-degree forgery
— a class-I) felony —— and given
a suspended sentence of one year
in prison.

Dahl said someone who falsi-
fies transcripts degrades the in-
tegrity of llK‘s educational pro-
grzuns and possibly could
endager the public.

“There is a risk of having
someone unqualified doing the
job as in the case of (the wom-
en convicted of posing as a chem-
ist.) She could have easily been
involved in testing the consis-
tency of highway asphalt and
one does not have to think very
far to realize the dangers in-
volved." Dahl said.

To counter the increase in
record alterations. the Registrar‘s
Office has adopted several so-
phisticated measures that make
transcript forgery more difficult.

Instructions for authenticity
and the University‘s Registrar‘s
phone number now are found on
the back of students‘ transcripts.

If this is not enough to deter a
would-be forget from altering a
transcript, there is a warning:
“Alteration or forgery of this doc-
ument is a criminal offense.“

rector of cancer control at the
center. said the study showed the
incidence of the disease in the
36-county test area to be 14.9
cases per 100.000 women ——
nearly double the national rate of
7.8 cases per 100,000 and almost
equal to the rate for inner-city
black women.

Friedell said the high poverty
rates and low literacy levels
among inner-
city blacks
and Eastem
Kentucky
women play a
key role in the
greater inci—
dcnce of cer-
vix cancer.

He also said
these rates
can be re-
duced if we FRIEDELL
disease is identified and treated
early.

“No one has to die from cervix
cancer." Friedell said. “It should
be thought of as a preventable
disease."

To combat the effects of pover-
ty arid low literacy levels on the
incidence of cancer among wom-
en in the test area. the National
Cancer Center recently awarded
the Markey Center a one-year.
$90,000 contract to develop
methods of reaching Appalachian
women with infomlation about
cancer screening.

Friedell said some of the mon-
ey will be used to add reading
materials on cancer and screen-
ing to the curriculum of the Ken-
tucky Commission on Literacy's
reading program.

Friedell said he hopes these
materials will provide Appala-
chian women with valuable in-
formation — like the need to
have yearly Pap tests.

The Pap test detects abnormal
cells on the cervix before they
become cancerous. Friedell said
that even though the majority of
incidences of invasive cervical
cancer occur in older women.
college-aged women need to be
screened once a year as well.

He said the cancer rates are
linked to a woman’s being sexu-
ally active “more than to chrono-
logical age" and emphasized the
need for Pap tests for all women.

Because early detection is es-
sential in the successful treatment
of cervix cancer. simply knowing
about the test is not enough. Frie-
dell said.

“Women must take action and
go for the test. That's what we
want to get across"

UK composer credits Zen
for ’Kentucky’ symphony

 

By John Dyer Fort
Arts Editor

 

Call it East meets West — a lit-
tle Oriental spice added to the
great American stewpot. If you’re
talking to Joseph Baber. UK’s
composer-in-residence. call it
“Zen and the Art of Musical
Composition."

Last fall, Japanese-owned Toy-
ota Motor Manufacturing, U.S.A..
commissioned Baber to compose
a symphony celebrating Ken-
tucky’s bicentennial. Unknown to
Toyota, Baber attributes his crea-
tive technique to a Zen-like out-
look and meditation techniques.

“Once a composition gets go-
ing,“ Baber said, “it takes off on
its own. It's a right brain thing —
a Zen thing — a sort of trance.“

Completed this spring, Baber‘s
composition The Kentucky Suite
will be performed by the Toyota
Kentucky Bicentennial Youth
Symphony, nearly 90 of the
state’s most talented teenage mu-
sicians.

Under the guidance of Lexing-
ton Philharmonic director George
Zack, the Symphony begins an
eight-city tour across Kentucky
tomorrow night at UK's Otis A.
Singletary Center for the Arts.
The tour is sponsored by Toyota,
which has an automobile plant in
Georgetown, Ky.

Baber attended a rehearsal ses-
sion during the Youth Sympho-
ny’s week-long rehearsal camp at
Georgetown College. “I was wor-
ried they would have difficulty
playing the piece." Baber said. “I
walked in and they were just eat-
ing it up.

“You can feel the imagery. It's
a fresh piece. rather young," Ba-
ber added. “It's not old and cyni-

Writing a symphony about
Kentucky fit in well with Baber's
creative process. “in just the last
few years I realized. I tend to

write music with a place in
mind,“ said Baber. a member of
UK‘s School of Music faculty
for 20 years. “When i wrote The
Kentucky Suite, 1 just put myself
in a Kentucky mood.

“I really believe that all art
comes from a sense of place.“
Baber added. “Art grabs us and
takes us to a place."

Baber’s Suite is composed of
three movements, each with its
own point of departure. In the
first part, “The Land." Baber re-
called being a 17-year-old usher
in a Richmond. Va. movie thea-
ter.

“1 saw a movie about Ken-
tucky, ‘Many Rivers to Cross,‘
about 17 times," he said. “The
photography gave me a distinct
feeling. an image of Kentucky.
There was a tune in the film I
can still recall.”

Baber’s “feeling,“ informed by
dozens of Kentucky folk compo-
sitions heard over the years,
evoked the sense of place he
found in Kentucky. The result is
a modern classical symphony
with the flavor of folk music.

For the second movement,
“The Towns,” Baber imagined
“driving into a small town such
as Berea or Midway or some
mythical small town in Ken-
tucky. I let the music flow from
that feeling.“ Baber said.

“Celebration," the third section
of The Kentucky Suite, evokes
Kentucky festivals and “a feeling
of celebration.“ Baber said. “You
can hear Kentucky festivities.
square dances. even sleigh bells
in one part, representing Christ-
mas in Kentucky.

"If someone played the Suite
in Europe. they would know it‘s
from this part of America” Ba-
ber added. “It does have a lot of
folk and Bluegrass influences."

Baber said he believes an artist
must focus on his surroundings
and his own experience in order
to communicate a universal feel-

 

 

ing.

“Bach lived in Leipzig. in
l720. and never left that area," he
said. “He had this certain North-
ern German. intellectual. relig-
ious frame of mind you can hear
in his music. But somehow he
goes out from that to the more
universal.

“You can‘t know everything.
Only God can know everything."
Baber said.

“It‘s the same in Yen. You
can't know the whole universe
but you can know one flower. If
you know that flower, you know
the universe.

“But if you try to do it all. you
wind up with nothing." he added.

In addition to Baber‘s The Ken-
tucky Suite. the Youth Symphony
will perform the music of Marvin
Hamlisch, Leonard Bemstein‘s
West Side Story. Barber‘s Adagio
for Strings, Henry Mancini. Julie
Gold‘s “From a Distance,“ as
well as “The Star Spangled Ban-
ner," “My Old Kentucky Home.“
Morton Gould’s “American Sa-
lute." and “Stars and Stripes For-
ever" by John Philip Sousa

The Toyota Kentucky Bicenten-
nial Youth Symphony. George
Zack conducting. will perform at
8 pm tomorrow at UK 's Otis A.
Singletary Center for the Arts.
Admission is free.
