BOT votes to hold closed meeting to discuss investigation

By (‘.t\. DIANE BUVIFER
Editorial Editor

In an uncharacteristic nltl\(‘. the t‘K
Board of Trustees passed a resolution yes-
terday that requires l'K President David
Roselle to update them and the Athletics
Board on l'K's response to the Nt‘AAs
allegations against the men‘s basketball
team before it is sent to the Nt‘AA

BOT members will be updated by Rose
lie at an executive session that will be held
either Sunday or Monday [K has until
Monday to respond to the lit \‘t'AA
allegations against the basketball pro
gram.

Roselle had wanted to call the HOT and
Athletics Board into executive session
after l'K's response to the allegations had
been sent to the NCAA Any objections
RHT members would have voiced to the
response would have been included in an
addendum, Roselle said

But Rit'l‘ member 'l‘racy Farmer
objected saying the Bit'l‘ has the right to
know what l'K's response is before any
outside organi‘lation is intormeil

“l think as :ncui'nbeiit on all it board
members to be kept appraised as where
we are." he said "I don" mean to itiilii
mice the report one wax or another unless

it was totally unreasonable

 

 

 

DATE RAPE: Our Hidden Problem

 

 

 

 

More education programs
needed, local experts say

Hy ALLEN l). (illl-Ililt

"Even what we consider to be a good
turn-out is. percentage-wise. Very
small." Karnes said

Additionally. about 40 percent oi the
residence balls at L'K do not participate
in any date rape program. said Jim
Ploskonka. of the office of Residence
Life

But he added that resident advisers
a re required to learn preliminary crisis
intervention skills and are taught how
to make appropriate referrals for rape
victims.

Fraternity participation in the
education and awareness programs is
low, said Michael Palm. assistant dean
of students for fraternity affairs.

A Kernel survey of nine sororities at
UK revealed that five had participated
in some forin of date rape education in

cquaintance rape has received

increasing attention at [K in the

past several years. but some
local experts are criticmng [K for not
doing more to raise student awareness
and educate students in a systematic
way.

Acquaintance. or date rape. is forced
sexual intercourse or contact either
through assault. manipulation or
intimidation by someone the victim
knows.

Jake Karnes. assistant dean of
students. said UK conducts awareness
programs about date rape, but the
current programs don't reach students
effectively.

address last night at \tlllt‘ll he continued to
press tor his plaltorni and gave Eiitle
indication oi a willingness 7o i'oiiiproiiiise
on taxes or education

Wilkinson applauded unproiements in
the states economy and 'ook i reilit tor rc-
cord employment He also boasted about
turning around the iiscal i'lllltlltltm oi state
government .

The speech was lulled by the
administration as an oil-year slate oi the
commonwealth address to the speech
itself. which was broadcast by Kentucky
Educational 'l‘elevision. Wilkinson said it
was an opportunity tor him to evaluate his
own job periorniance

Wilkinson said he made the tough ilt‘t‘l-
sions that prompted the reyitalmitioii ot
the state

“It s lair to say 'lial every day. in ewry
way. Kentucky's L‘J‘lllllg better and
better.” Wilkinson said it] a prepared test
ot the speech tnade a\ailal)le prior to its
delivery.

(in education. Wilkinson reiterated his
critiCisni of those who have called lot
more money tor the current system oi '('.:
ching Kentucky children

"Nothing short oi a t tilllpit‘it'
restructuring of our schools will allow sub-
stantial improvement.” Wilkinson said.
sounding a theme he has repeated through
several rounds of failed negotiations with
lawmakers and educational interests tor a
compromise education package

(in the subject of taxes. Wilkinson .ilso
repeated his long-held opposition

"No governor in the history oi the com~
iiionwealth has been under more pressure
to raise taxes than I have." Wilkinson
said, “But let me say it again. I am not
willing to call for new taxes just to coiitiir
ue the same old stuff We must change"
