Students manuever past a line of sales tables at the Student Center, '

 

where they could find everything from credit cards to calling cards.

Vendors market their wares
to returning college crowd

 

By Clarissa Blair
Staff Writer

 

"Did you sign up for the phone
card 7’" " Want a free newspaper? "

“No, no thanks."

The freebies. the chance to win a T-
shirt or a mug, the student discount:
these are the familiar greetings of ven-
dors posted every fall outside the Stu-
dent Center and campus bookstores dur-
ing the first two weeks of school.

Amid the steady stream of students
entering and leaving these jammed
vending areas. intemtittent shouts from
sales representatives rang out yesterday.

But it seemed the crowds around the
vending tables were composed of sales
representatives, rather than a mob of
prospective customers. Most vending ta-
bles were manned by at least three em-
ployees.

And students were not easily enticed.

“Did you sign up for the paper? May
as well go ahead and get it now. Which
plan do you want?" one salesman plead-
ed.

Undeclared freshman Nancy Mitchell,
who stopped at the Courier-loumal table
at the Student Center to listen briefly to

the pitch before leaving, said she didn‘t
subscribe to the paper.

“I probably won‘t read it," she said.
“Hi probably be reading the (Ken—
tucky) Kernel.”

Clint Willett. a marketing junior, took
advantage of picking up the Lexington
Herald-Leader for free but said, “1
passed on subscribing. Their sales pitch
isn't too aggressive, but they need to
work on their memory skills - my
friend got two papers from them earlier
today.“

Among the vendors were Bank One
of Lexington. the Herald-Leader, the
Courier-loumal. Josten‘s and AT&T.

A spokeswoman at the Bank One ta-
ble said the bank opened 23 new stu-
dent accounts on Monday, but only one
student account by 1 pm. yesterday.

Michael Mays, an undeclared junior
from New York. opened an account to
avoid long-distance banking.

“i needed easy banking," Mays said.
“i didn't want to transfer all my money
to my hometown bank."

Most vendors will be on campus for
the rest of this week, and several said
they plan to return Monday for another
week of sales pitches.

Trustees pleased
education cuts
not more severe

 

By Don Puckett
Senior Staff Writer

 

 

 

Add/Drop relocation

   

There were many smiles and congratulations last week
as the Board of Trustees finalized UK‘s 1993-94 budget.

Although the new budget contains a 2-percent spending
cut from the previous year, the consensus at the Aug. 17
meeting was that the state’s budget ax could have fallen
much harder.

“It could have been a lot worse," UK President Charles
Wethington said. “We had been asked by the governor to
prepare plans for a budget cut that could have been as
much as a 4, 6 or 8 percent cut. When we got word that
the cut would be 2 percent. we were very relieved.“

The board authorized a budget that contains about $4.5
million in cuts for UK's main campus and about $2.2 mil-
lion in cuts from the Community College System.

Many trustees, faculty and administrators believed fur-
ther budget cuts would severely harm the school's ability
to meet the needs of students. Prior to this year's budget re-
duction, UK already had slashed $36.7 million since 1991,
forcing class reductions, a hiring freeze and elimination of
some student services.

Wethington said he was "convinced we had already
looked at virtually everything at the University“ during
earlier budget cuts and that he was “concerned that further
cuts would do serious damage to the University."

He said the absence of deeper cuts is an indication that
higher education will be receiving more attention in Frank-
fon.

"I think this decision. more than anything he could have
done, shows that higher education has moved up the gov-
emor’s list of priorities," Wethington said.

UK Student Government Association President Lance
Dowdy said that even though the University was spared
additional cuts, students cannot yet breathe a sigh of relief.
He cited student apathy as a contributing factor to UK's
shrinking budget.

“Students must become more active and know what's
going on in order to avoid future cuts," Dowdy said.

In other business, Gov. Brereton Jones asked Wething-
ton, along with the presidents of the seven other state-
supported universities. to serve on a committee to restruc-
ture higher education. The committee will study ways to
cut costs and increase efficiency at those universities.

The committee will consist primarily of university presi-
dents and chairmen of the universities‘ goveming boards.
it will submit recommendations to the govemor by Nov. 1.

The Board of Trustees also swore in three new members
last week. Dowdy, the board's student representative. took
the oath with Loys Mather, a faculty representative and
Martin Welenken of Louisville.

confusing for some

Telephone system retuming tomorrow

 

By Erica Patterson
Assistant News Editor

A new telephone system allowed
students to drop and add classes
from home this summer, but many
students still suffered through the
confusion and long lines of central-
ized Add/Drop yesterday.

Part of the confusion may have
resulwd from the new location this
year of the central Add/Drop site.
which wm moved from the Patter-
son Office Tower mezzanine to 230
Student Center. The mezzanine was
closed because of construction.

The crowd of students who stood
in line at the Student Center was
“very. very ready and crazy." said
Angela Brown, a health administra-
tion senior.

William Rice, an accounting jun-
ior. said he had been waiting an
hour to change his class schedule.
However. he was happy that he was
only sixth in the line of juniors to
add/drop, since students who
showed up before their scheduled
times were given numbers to wait.

Because of the location in the
Student Center, many students be-
came confused about where they
were supposed to check in and
where the lines began, said Erica
Murrell, a pharmacy senior who
worked at Add/Drop.

Even though students were initial-
ly confused, “the crowd ins been
less. which is probably due to the
telephone Add/Drop," she said.

Exact numbers were not available

Kinko’s drops
course packets

 

By Steve McSorley
Staff Writer

Kinko's. the largest chain of re-
tail copy centers in the United
States. announced a change in poli-
cy over the summer that eliminates
the production of course packets at
all its stores.

“We have decided to get out of
course work because it was costing
us more money than it was really
worth." said Teni Thomas. general
manager for Kinko's on South
Limestone Street “We‘d rather in-
vest our money in new technology.
instead of investing all the money it
takes running the program the way
we have to today."

Thomas said a 1991 court deci-
sion against Kinko's on copyright
infringement for its course packets
had nothing to do with the move.

"The Basic Books decision really
did not have anything to do with it.
it came down to investing too much
money irt the program.

“in a few years, textbook materi-
al. copyrighted material and reprint-

ing stuff with permission — and the
way we get permission —will he to-
tally obsolete."

Thomas estimated that nearly 25
percent of the work done at the
campus Kinko‘s had been course
packet work. She said course packet
work already has been discontinued.
even though the change in policy
does not take effect until Dec. 31.

Instead of producing course pack-
ets. Kinko’s has decided to expand
into new communications technolo-
gy store officials believe is the
wave of the future. Some of the new
services that are either being offered
now or will be offered in the near
future include video teleconferenc-
ing, oversize color prian and one-
hour photograph developing.

“it will put us 10 steps ahead of
our competitors in a few years,"
Thomas said.

Roy Moore. acting director of
UK's School of Joumalism and an
expert in copyright law. said he be-
lieves the Basic Books lnc. vs. Kin-
ko's decision is having an effect.

“The short term effect is that

some copy services will be forced
to get out of the course packet busi-
ness." he said. “There are very high
labor costs that are associated with
checking copyrights. in the long
term. those photo copy firms that
felt there is an opportunity to make
money are signing agreements with
various publishers. And with this.
some bookstores are getting into

can envision a day when ma-
chines convert trash rnto fuel.

A $19 million agreement be—
tween the consortium he heads
and the US. Department of Ener-
gy could help make that dream a
reality.

Huffman oversees the Consor-
tium for Fossil Fuel Liquefaction
Science. whose members include
UK. the University of Utah. the
University of Pittsburgh. West
Virginia University and Auburn
University.

For the past seven years. the
consortium has worked on pro-

 

Group trying to convert waste to fuel

jects dealing with the conversion
of waste materials and coal into
viable fuel.

The agreement calls for the De-
partment of Energy to provide
597 million and for the consor-
tium to provide the rest for the
project. The funding will continue
over the next five years.

One of the major goals over
that five-year period Will he find-
ing a way to simultaneously con-
vert coal and waste materials into
oil. The group has conducted ini-
tial experiments using rubber and
waste products along with coal to
make fuel.

Huffman said the consortium
hopes to make the process more
efficient and cheaper so that it can
be competitive in the world mar-

ket

“Research has decreased the
price of producing oil from coal
from $80 per barrel to approxi-
mately $35 per barrel over the
past 15 years." said Huffman.
The consortium hopes to drive
that price into the $18-$20 range.

Huffman said the consortium
currently is working on the pro-
cess of converting waste materi-
als into crude oil. but a compo-
nent of the plan includes trying
to improve the efficiency and re-
duce the cost of refining crude
oil.

managers have limited the store's

()ne of the most important
and difficult decisions of a stu-
dent‘s college life is choosing a
major. The Central Advising
Service. which opened this surn-
mer. may help make that deci-
sion a little easier.

The service, located on. the
second floor of Frazee Hall. ad-
vises undeclared majors in the
College of Arts and Sciences,
transfer students and adult stu-
dents who have never been in
college or who have returned to
finish their degrees.

Ken Freedman, assistant di-
rector of the advising service.
said studies have shown that a
significant number of people
who drop out of college started
as undeclared majors. He said
he hopes the new service will
increase the graduation rate of
this year‘s freshman class.

 

Advising service
open to students

Before the service was started.
the College of Ans and Sciences
attempted to help undeclared
majors, but the college's staff
was not large enough to give
those students the attention and
time they needed. Freedman
said.

“We (now) have the staff to
take care of them, to help them
explore their options and help
them eventually to make a deci-
sion about a major," he said.

In fact, all undeclared majors
in the College of Arts and Sci-
ences now are required to seek
counseling from the service be-
fore they advance register.

The service also offers advice
to transfer students, as well as
undeclared majors who know
they eventually want to attend
law school.

One tool the advising service
uses is the Discover Career
Computer, which tests students

Changes increase dorm security

 

By Tammy Gay
Senior Staff Writer

Students living in residence halls
should be able to sleep more sound-
ly this fall thanks to several renova—
tions made over the summer to im-
prove safety.

The renovations. which were
paid for with a $2.8 million low-
interest loan, included new smoke
detectors for the Kirwan-Blanding
Complex low rises and security
cameras for Holmes and Boyd halls
on North Campus.

“Our goal is to make our halls
safe and secure." said Bob Clay. di-
rector of residence life.

UK had intended to install card-
access security systems in Nonh
Campus residence halls. but offi-
cials decided to re-examine the

types that are available before mak-
ing a purchase, said Allen Rieman,
acting director of housing.

Donovan and Haggin halls al-
ready have card-access systems
that require students to use meal
cards to gain entry. Rieman said
UK is trying to find a system that
works better than the ones already
installed.

This summer's renovation pro-
ject also included the installation in
residence halls of higher capacity
electrical circuits, which will allow
most students to use microwave
ovens in their rooms.

Students who signed up to live in
residence balls were sent flyers
about renting MicroFridges. combi-
nation microwave-refrigerators.

Kris Sommer. assistant director
of residence life, said it probably is
too late for students to order Micro-

Fridges this semester but they will
be made available next year if stuo
dent interest is high enough.

Repairs also were made on eleva-
tors in Blazer and Keeneland halls,
and roofs at Blazer Hall and Greg
Page Apartments.

In other residence hall news, Kir-
wan II has been converted to a
“Wellness Hall." It will offer a con-
ditioning room that should be avail-
able in October, and residence hall
staff will work with students on
mental. physical and scholastic
health issues. Rieman said. Smok-
ing is banned, as well.

Students who live in other resi-
dence halls and noted on their hous-
ing applications that they smoke
will be permitted to smoke in their
rooms.

Visitation policy in all dorms re-
mains unchanged.

When students stop in at UK's
cunputer labs to type their first
papers this semester, the crowds
shouldn‘t be quite as thick as
usual.

That's because two labs have
been added during the summer.

One is located in 148 Chemis-
try-Physics Building. and the
other is in the lobby of the Col-
lege of Law Library.

Mary Molinaro. head of li-
brary microlabs. said the labs
follow the standard setup of oth-
er labs. The computers feature
word processing. Spread sheets
and database processing.

The two labs may be used by
all students, but each features re-
sources unique to its location:
The College of Law computer

Tannenbaum said more labs
will be added to other colleges
in the future but no decisions
have been made about where the
labs will be located.

Molinaro said the decision of
location is set by the office of
the Chancellor for the Lexing-

Tannenbaum said computer

Officials welcOme
freshmen to UK

 

By Brant Weleh
Senior Staff Writer

Campus leaders advised new stu-
dents during Saturday's convoca-
tion to use their UK experiences to
broaden their horizons.

“I think you will team a great
deal about a lot of things," UK
President Charles Wethington said.
“And most important, you will
learn to appreciate the many com-
plex and various pans of life and
living in these days and these
times."

Wethington said the teaming ex-
perience students garner from UK
will inspire them to continue team-
ing throughout life.

“I predict the exposure you get to
learning here at the University of
Kentucky will motivate you
through your life to continue team-
ing either in a formal way or‘by a
natural curiosity, to know more
about people, places and things
around you."

Wethington and Robert Hemen-
way. chancellor for the Lexington
Campus. said they will work to
meet parent‘s expectations.

“Let me reassure you as parents
that your son. daughter or person
you raised is coming to a Universi-
ty that cares about them.“ Hemen-
way said. “l‘ve been in your situa-
tion. I've left three children

lowed the Adam's apple that
seemed to be up in my throat and
left.

“I wondered what was going to
happen to them. i can assure you
this is a University that cares about
how every student does. We really
believe the students here today real-
ly do represent the future of this
Commonwealth."

Wethington concurred that UK
will take care of the incoming stu-
dents.

“I want to see, first of all. that we
will do our best to ensure that your
considerable investment in the
higher education of your sons and
daughters and family members, that
that investment is a good one.

“We think we have the faculty
and the programs that are second to
none. And if your college student
takes advantage of these opportuni-
ties. then the education that you
want for them will be here at the
University of Kentucky."

Lauretta Byars, vice chancellor
for minority affairs, challenged
new students to see how many peo-
ple on campus they can meet dur-
ing their stints at UK.

“See how many of the 24,000
students that comprise the Lexing-
ton Campus that you can get to
know,” Byars said. “if 24,000
seems a little high. then why not try
to meet the 17,000 undergraduates
that are on the the Lexington Cam-
pus or even the 2.700 new students
that are a pan of your class?

“The important thing is you take
advantage of the time you are on
campus to expand your knowledge
not just academically but of the
world and the people in it. starting
with the students on campus."

Student Govemment Association
President Lance Dowdy stressed
that students should get involved.

“The best way to feel more com-
fonabie is to become active.“ he
said.

Students at the convocation said
campus leaders made them feel
welcome.

“it was reassuring that people
here are willing to help you." said
Glen Powell. a freshman from
Louisville. “I think it is important
to get involved. and they made it

Opening of new POT café delayed

Contributhriter

The Intermezzo, a new cafe origi-
nally scheduled to open today in
Patterson Office Tower, will not
open for at least two more weeks.

Construction and plumbing prob-
lems primarily have been responsi-
ble for delaying the remodeling of
the office tower mezzanine‘s north
wing. said Robert Braun. director
of UK Food Services.

Although local plumbers have
been invited to look at the project.
Braun said, at least three plumbers
have said they cannot complete the
project on time.

Workers from UK‘s Physical
Plant Division already have com-
pleted some of the work, but Braun
said they are particularly busy now,
when all of UK‘s departments and
buildings are gearing up for the be-
ginning of a new school year.

A reduction in the number of
PPD employees also is slowing
progress.

The hunger of UK students crav-
ing Original Recipe chicken or bat-
ter-dipped shrimp and scallops
soon will be satisfied.

Officials say a KFC restaurant
will open at the Blazer Express
Courtyard in about two weeks, and
a Long John Silver’s Seafood
Shoppe is expected to open in
about a month in the Student Cen-
ter food court.

“Everything has been taken care
of," said Robert Braun. UK Food
Services director. “We have people
uaining for both KFC and Long
John‘s. The only thing that we are
waiting on is the equipment."

Student Center Food Services
manager Betsy Mahoney was hap-
py with the addition of the Long

be well received by our customers,"
she said.

Braun agreed.

“With the addition of the Long
John Silver's at the Student Center,
we will be providing our customers
with an excellent quality product
that is not currently available on
campus," Braun said.

Long John Silver‘s officials were
equally excited.

“We think that UK students look
forward to see a name from home.
like Long John‘s." said Vie Yean-
del, Long John Silver's vice presi-
dent for franchise development.
“Students know our food and our
products will taste the same at UK
as they do in their home town.
We‘re glad to be a pan of this dy-
namic trend in the food service in-
dustry."

KFC officials said the campus
restaurant idea has been catching on
throughout the country, and they

Intermezzo was scheduled to open today, but because of con-
struction problems, It will not begin operation for a few weeks.

“Especially during the summer,
we‘re trying to do everything — a
lot of catchup and maintenance
work."

Braun said PPD is working on

the manpower. “Physical plant (em-
ployees) get pulled away for a va-
riety of things going on around
campus," he said.

School officials say the we will
solve a couple of problems within
Patterson Office Tower. which
houses offices for the College of
Arts and Sciences.

Arts and Sciences Dean Richard
Edwards has said he hopes the ln-
termezzo “will create a sense of
community in POT."

He also said he hopes the cafe
will bring faculty. students and em-
ployees together in a relaxed atmos-
phere.

Braun said the mezzanine was in
need of repair and that the Inter-
mezzo served as a catalyst for those
repairs.

Upon completion. the coffee shop
will have a seating capacity for 67
and a limited menu.

“We'll be providing coffee and
cappuccino. frozen yogurt, pas-
tries." Edwards said. “During lunch
we'll have sandwiches mzlde on the
spot — a light menu."

jumped at the opportunity.

“Campus restaurants did real well
at San Diego State University and
we felt this would be a prosperous
endeavor." said Jean Litterst, KFC
manager of public affairs.

The campus KFC will have a lim-
ited menu offering chicken, honey
barbecue wings, the Colonel chick-
en sandwich and side items.

“We sure hope it‘s going to do
well." said Ema Jean Niles, Blazer

dining services manager. “We
brought in the KFC because the stu-
dents expressed interest in having
one here."

Although KFC and Long John's
are the most well-known restaurants
opening at UK, the two are not
alone.
