Crowded mornings cause classroom shortage

By SACHA DEVROOMEN

Empty classrooms around L'K are
hard to find during certain times of
the day. some faculty members say
And one even described the situation
as serious

"The classroom situation is rather

LTI ‘mission’
will change
this summer

By STEPHANIE WALLNER
News Editor

The Lexington Technical insti-
tute will assume community col-
lege status to increase higher edu-
cation opportunities for Lexington
area students.

“The mission change was pro-
voked by the University's adop—
tion of selective admissions." Sha-
ron Jaggard. director for LTl.
said.

Jaggard also said the change to
a community college would pro-
vide two~year associate degree
programs for those students who
"would not have had access other—

Ben Carr, vice chancellor of
academic affairs for the commu-
nity college system, said, “It
I Lexington Community College:
will be the open admission institu~
tion for Fayette County (and sur»
rounding areasl.“

Carr said associate degrees in
art and science will be offered.
“We expect that there will be
some (additional) faculty to ban-
dle general studies." he said.

Jaggard said UK faculty as well
as new applicants will be used for
the additional faculty to teach
general studies.

“Regardless of whether they
are fulltime or parttime. it will re-
quire a masters degree." she said.
Jaggard said the requirement of a
masters is not necessary for their
current technical teachers.

“We’ve been able so far to get
the people we need with the ore
dentials we need." Jaggard said.

LTI students took courses such
as history. math or English at UK
and their technical classes were
given at their own facilities.

Carr said the tuition for general
classes normally is paid to UK but
that tuition will be paid to LCC in
thefutune.

“We won‘t be given any new al~
locations specifically for this.‘
Jaggard said. “It does increase
income because of tuition (in-
creased payment toLCC).

“The Board of Trustees ap-
proved that change in Decem.
her." she said. “It reflects a mis-
sion change in UN.” Jaggard said
the degrees to be offered are the
“same that all other community
colleges offer.“

According to Jaggard, the ad-
ministrative structure will remain
the same as that which LTI cur-
rently mes.

“it’s a positive move. We are
very proud of our 15 technical pro
grams," she said. “It's an addi-
tion to our mission."

of Public information for the Medi-
cal Center. said.

He said there was no Signs of trau
ma during birth. but it is highly un-
likely that Angela was born in a hos-
pital because of her uncorrected
intestinal birth defect Also. an HIV
fant as young as she was when
found would not yet have been re
leased from the hospital

Angela Noel got her name from
her nurses shortly after she was
found. Stone said Most of the other
children in the neonatal intensive
care unit have parents who visit
them but “the nurses are taking
time to fill in as Angela's current
adopted family." he said.

Angela will spend at least another
two weeks in her first home in the
intensive care unit. but after that
she will probably be moved to an lllr
termediate care unit or possibly to
the regular nursery. Stone said

But Angela‘s immediate future is
based on her medical progress. he
said

The baby was discovered follow-
ing a phone call to the hospital.

Harrison said that on Dec 25. the
telephone operator at the Medical
(‘enter received a call from an un-
identified “woman who seemed ex-
cited and nervous" ~~ explaining
that a newborn infant had been left
on the first floor of the hospital. The
operator called the police. who.
along with some of the hospital
staff. began searching for the aban-
doned baby

“Whoever made the call identified
there was a health care need so
whoever the mother is can rest as-
sured that the baby is being well
ca red for." Stone said

I'K police are investigating the
case of Angela Noel. but so far have
come up with no substantial leads.
Harrison said he has received seve-
ral tips from people in Ashland and
London. Ky . but so far. no luck

The state (‘abinet for Human Re-
sources has temporary custody of
.-\ngela. Brad Hughes. spokesman
for the (‘abinet said

"When there is no chance of find-
ing the parents. then the state will
seek final commitment of custody to
the state. entitling termination of
parental rights." Hughes said.
“Then a court hearing will be set."
which has been tentatively sched-
uled for Jan. 24.

Within the next week to 10 days. if
everything goes well in the hospital.
Angela will be placed in a foster
home. “No more than 60 days after
the court acts. she will be put up for
adoption." Hughes said.

The number of adoption offers for
Angela have not been kept. he said.
because “there's no way a person
can call in and adopt her. “

Angela has gained over a pound
since she arrived and she is progres-
smg well according to medical cen-
ter officals. The infant has now
started taking regular formula —
opposed to clear liquids which she
was restricted to at first.

"I would say things have gone
pretty well." Stone said.

Refraction

Recently. the Kentucky Kernel received cor~
respondcnce from legal counsel representing
The Bar. inc.

This correspondence requested a retraction
of a statement attributed to Detective Sgt.
Mike Lowe from the Lexington-Fayette Urban
County Police Department in a story which
appeared in the Kernel on Dec. 9. 1983, titled
“Experts agree that missing kids face many
difficulties.“

After conversations with Lowe. the Kernel
believes that the statement - which referred to
the possible presence of minor prostitutes in
this downtown establishment -— may have
been either misunderstood by the reporter or
misstated by Lowe.

Lowe has told the Kernel he meant that
these persons may have been present in close
proximity to this establishment.

The Kernel regrets any misunderstanding
which may have resulted from the description
of Lowe‘s statement as it originally appeared.

Cats able to hold off slow-paced Mississippi

Hy i\.\'l)\' lll'MS'l‘UHF
Assistant Sports Editor

There is a saying some place that
goes something like this “The old
man river Just keeps slowly moving
along “

Apparently Bob Boyd has deCided
to keep his MisSiSSippi State Bull-
dogs slowly moving along. as was
evident in last nights 51-42 loss to
Kentucky at Rupp Arena,

Throughout the first part of the
season. Boyd's team has held its op<
ponents to an average of 56.2 pomts
per game Last night the Bulldogs
not only held Kentucky under that
ay'erage. but toyed with the (‘ats and
their No 2ranking

"I told the players that this is not
a type of game that one can feel
good about." t'K coach Joe 8 Hall
said "It is a win and that is the
llliflllt)l)](‘(‘ll\(‘ '

Kentucky came out for the first
time this season in a 1-.i—ldefense to
try and force State to shoot more
from the outside

To the dismay of Hall and CK-
.Nlississippi was able to handle the
tight defense and force Kentucky
into a more deliberate style of play
Hall and his players later noted this
is not the l’K way , and that the
slower tempo lulledthe Wildcats into
a la\ style of play "When you play
defense and then offense you have a
tendency to run your offense like the
other teams Hall said "You're
tight and tust have to play their
tempo

l'K guard Dicky Heal said. "It
was yery yery hard for us to adjust
to their style of play When you slow
its down like they did. it is like they
lull you toslecp

The Bulldogs were able to handle
the taller l'K squad throughout the
first half and went into the locker
room with a 3221 halftime lead after
center Kelvin llildreth hit the front
end of a one and-one

 

“e were unable to conyert all of

tree throws in the first halt
which would haye giyen us a more
comfortable lead at half time. '
toyd said

The ('ats were lead in scoring in
the second half by sophomore Kenny
\Milker. who hit 4-01 4; shots from the
field and Roth shots from the char
ity stripe ‘iyalker contributed the
turnaround in the second half to
James Blackmons ability to shift
more inside

penetrate more in the second half

said and that was the mayor dite

second half when \Valker hit a six»

was able to hold the game close and
was not out of the game until the
three andahalf minute mark when

sending him to the line for the one-

throws giying l'K an eight point lead

the second half we might have
won Boy d said

,\.s for Kentucky "ln my opinion
they Kentucky are the best team

in the nation and I am not saying
that to build up my team's pertor
iiiance ‘

ls this Kentucky team one of the
best in the history of this institution"
lt may be getting there

With last night‘s win the Kentucky
tasketball team gained its 12th
straight Victory. moving ahead of
three other squads of the past that
had won their first eley'en games be-
fore suffering a loss

This year's team now ranks Sixth
in [K annals Only five other Ken-
tucky teams began their seasons
\\llh longer w'inning streaks More
about that later

With winning streaks comes pres
sure But who feels it the most ——
the players. coaches or fans'.’

It was hard to find one man who
served in all those capaCities. But
one who did was most graCious
when asked

Dickie Parsons. who played on the
1958-59 team that won its first 11
games. was an assistant coach in
1 77-78 when the Cats rolled out 14
wins in a row He is watching this
year's team with great interest like
the million other fans in the Com-
monwealth.

"When I was a player there was
no real pressure. We weren‘t ex
pected to do well. but we got off to a
good start and won 11 in a row,"
Parsons said. “I remember it well.
We were having fun playing even

Things changed In years later for
Parsons when he became an assis
taiit coach The 1517778 team was
ranked number one lll preseason
polls and was expected to w in it all

“I sensed the pressure much more
in 1978 when l was coaching \.s a
coach you want to keep your team it)
the right frame of mind and try and
ay‘Oid letdowns. ‘ Parsons said
"Players don‘t realize when they
aren't mentally ready and it‘s the
coach‘s job to prepare them

“There are a lot more problems
for a coach during a streak He has
more on his mind I neyer liked to
talk about the streak The best time
to talk about it is at the end of the
season. when you have already ac
complished itt " he said

Streaks are newsworthy and that's
why we‘ve heard so much about
them lately. according to Parsons
But they can help a player

“Every game you win gives you
something to build on There's no
real explanation but it seems easier

Parsons thinks it is pOSSible mance
