Unfair grading tops student gripes

Ofi‘icial ’s report details complaints

Unfair evaluation and grades
were the top complaints students
made to the academic ombudsman
last year, according to the 1992-93
Academic Ombud‘s Report pre-

Group seeking
funds to study
women’s health

By Clarissa Blair
Staff Writer

 

 

A UK advisory board made up of
female professors has asked for
$1.5 million from the University's
next biennial budget to fund a
“women’s health initiative” that
would have statewide impact.

“We plan to do tracking to insure
that women‘s health procedures are
adequately covered by the govern-
ment's health care reform," said
UK law professor Carolyn Bratt,
who helped draft the proposal.

“But that is only a piece of what
we are going to do."

If approved, the funds also would
pay for a series of research projects
and educational and clinical pro-
grams throughout Kentucky, said
Del Collins, vice chancellor for re-
search and graduate studies at the
Albert B. Chandler Medical Center.

“Right now, it is in the planning
phase," Collins said. “But we're
robbing a little money from every-
body to get it up and going right
away.

“Maybe we'll even get some
money from the President‘s Of-
fice."

The new program‘s director,
Deborah Powell, chairwoman and
professor of the department of pa-
thology and laboratory medicine,
said members of the health initia-
tive's internal advisory board will
meet in a few weeks to seek initial
funding from different departments
in the University and medical cen-
ter.

“We have no money for this yet.
But if we get pilot funding, we
could start to develop some propo-
sals and put together an external ad-
visory board of people outside the
University." Powell said.

“The board would be mostly
made up of women, but not entire-
ly. They would help us identify
problems of importance to women
in the Commonwealth.

“We want to talk to women and
find out what health problems are
most important to them."

Bratt, who also is a member of
the program's internal advisory
board, said a one-day conference on
menopause held at UK several
years ago revealed a great concern
about women‘s health issues in
Kentucky.

“Three hundred women attended
the conference, but at least a bun-
dred more had to be turned away,"
Bratt said.

“A result of the conference was
an ongoing interest from some of
us, who are continuing to examine
problems that are relevant to wom-
en‘s health."

Powell said a heavy emphasis of
the program would be on education
and research.

“For instance, we want to influ-
ence girls in elementary schools to
stay interested in science and math
so they will have the potential to go
on to careers in health professions,"
Powell said.

Powell said the program's re-
search would cover areas such as
ovarian and breast cancers, meno~
pause and breast diseases.

However, Powell said funding to
build a central facility for the out-
reach project currently is not availa-

"lf we can get some programs go-
ing that are successful." Powell
said. “people will realize we need a
place and not just a program."

sented to the University Senate last
week.

The process of appealing grades,
however, can be difficult for most
students, said Horst Schach, UK’s
academic ombudsman.

“Students have a tendency not to
be so successful in grades appeals
simply because they don’t keep

documentation," he said.

Other problems the office fre-
quently encountered involved stu-
dents' admission and dismissal in
certain academic programs, unavail—
ability of required courses, and
graduation requirements. Gretchen
LaGodna, who was academic om-
budsman last ycar, said she was

concerned with the number of grad-
uate students who registered com-
plaints during 1992-93.

Forty-nine students filed com-
plaints last year —- a significant in-
crease from previous years.

Since Schach's term began in
July, he said he has seen a signifi-
cant number of graduate students.
Schach said this may be because
students can be fiunked out of un-
dergraduate programs, but not grad-
uate programs. He said most gradu-

Murray Pikes face
lawsuit over prank

 

Associated Press

MURRAY, Ky. — A Murray
State University fratemity's prank
nearly two years ago left 11 young
men with criminal records and fac-
ing the prospect of paying damages
in a lawsuit against them.

The trouble began Nov. 22, 1992,
when the 13 members of the Pi
Kappa Alpha pledge class cut
Quentin Clark‘s phone lines and
forced their way into his trailer.

They tried to abduct Clark, who
knew the break-in was a joke to get
even at him for hazing the pledges
earlier in the semester.

“'Ihey tie you up and pretty much
give you some of your own medi-
cine," said Clark, who was tackled
and handcuffed in the scuffle.

'NS'DE:

around 50.

“They pelt you with food or hang
you from the ceiling."

Unaware that it was a joke,
Clark‘s wife and her sister fought
the pledges.

During the struggle, Clark’s
pregth wife was punched several
times in the abdomen.

Later, the 13 were listed as defe-
dants in the suit filed by Tami
Tucker-Clark, Quentin Clark‘s l9-
yw-old wife, and her sister, Tari
Tucker-Newton, 22.

Criminal charges also were filed
against the 13 and all but two have
been convicted.

In the lawsuit, Tucker-Clark and
Tucker-Newton are seeking un-
specified damages for injuries and

ate student complaints stem from
subtle attempts by the graduate
school to get rid of the student.
Although the most common prob-
lem among graduate students in-
volved grades, complaints of harass-
ment, discrimination and academic
offenses also were filed last year.
The report also said that cheating
and plagiarism are fairly common at
the University. last year, 12 stu-
dents appealed either their guilt or
punishments after being charged

with the offense.

A UK appeals board reduced the
sanctions in two cases but upheld
the department‘s actions in seven.
Three cases still are pending.

Lanodna wrote in the report that
although many departments made
an effort to educate students on pla-
giarism, lower division and intcma~

Prof says NAFTA
will benefit Mexico

Agreement would boost economy

 

By Anne Jackson
Contributing Writer

Congressional debate on the
North American Free Trade Agree-
ment continues to muddy the trea-
ty’s implications, but NAFTA‘s
benefits to Mexico are crystal clear,
a UK professor said yesterday.

Economics instructor Steve Hol-
land said NAFTA would bring un-
precedented economic opportunities
to Mexico, creating jobs and boost-
ing wages by eliminating trade bar-
n'ers.

“NAFTA provides access for
(Mexican) goods to our markets,“
he said. “international trade is not a
zero-sum game. Countries special-
ize in making certain things, and
specialization allows the productivi-
ty of their workers to increase and
thereby increases the standard of
living of those workers.“

Biology senior Claudia Aguilera,
who is from Juarez, Mexico, said
this increased standard of living
also would reduce the number of ii-
legal immigrants in the United
States.

Claudia and her husband. Jesus,
warn, however, that the quality of
Mexican goods would have to im-
prove to compete with American
imports.

“If American quality goes into
Mexico, most Mexicans will prefer
American quality to Mexican quali-
ty,“ Claudia said. “Everyone I

know in Juarez goes into El Paso
(Texas) to buy clothes.“

Jesus, a food science sophomore,
said former presidential candidate
Ross Perot was misguided when he
advised that the United States form
a trade alliance with a country
wealthier than Mexico.

The United States should form a
trade agreement with Mexico, he
said, because American goods are
in demand in his country.

“In Mexico, all you see are
American products: milk. yogurt,
cheeses — and not just food prod
ucts, but every type," he said.
“Even the poorest people will save
until they can buy some goods."

Holland agreed: “You have to re-
member, Mexico is a country with
a large amount of potential growth,
and connection with that potential
is ofa lot of benefit to the US."

NAFTA may have the potential
to bring more than economic
growth to Mexico. It also could
help improve environmental condi-
tions there.

Living in Mexico City is like
“being in a fog" because there is so
much pollution, Jesus said.

“We do have environmental
laws," Claudia said, “but (compa-
nies) just ignore them. The govem-
ment is so corrupt that the compa-
nies could just pay them of

If ratified, NAFTA would give
the United States some leverage to
compel Mexico to enforce these

Site promises
faster service,
better advice

 

By Tammy Gay
Senior Staff Writer

A new campus pharmacy
promises better counseling for
students and substantially faster
service, a UK health official
says.

The pharmacy, which opened
yesterday, offers the same bene-
fits as the school's Kentucky
Clinic pharmacy, but adds two
perks: it saves students exclu-
sively, and it‘s located right
around the corner from the Stu-
dent Health Service.

“We think this will give a
much better service to students."
said Spencer Turner, director of
Student Health Services.

The pharmacy will be open
from 8:30 am. to 5 pm, Mon-
day through Friday, during the
string and fall semesters. it will
not be open in the summer.

Turner said the new facility
has an improved waiting area
with a television monitor to in-
form students when their pre-
scriptions re ready.

Because the plummcy is for
students only, Turner said, phar-

macists have a better environment

how the students should take their

“(The students) are more willing
to let you counsel them than when
they had to wait an horn," said
Lucy Wells, a pharmacist at UK‘s
Department of Money.

Wells said students tnve to wait

WASHINGTON — Strug-
gling for votes with time running
out. President Clinton leaned on
Democrats opposing a trade
agreement with Mexico yester-
day and tried to hold Republican
suppaters. The White House
tried to pick up farm-state votes
with a wheat deal.

Two days before the show-
down. the outcome rested with
42 House members who said
they were still undecided. Both
sides contended they would have
the votes to win.

Clinton argued there was noth-
ing to lose by giving the agree-
ment a chance. “If all the nay
sayers mm out to be (correct).
the nasty gives us a right to
withdraw in six months." he
said.

“Why don't we just wait and
see whether we're right or
they're right?" Clinton said in a
speech to owners of small busi-
nesses. “Ring the phones up," he

 

 

implored. seeking to increase pres-
sure on fence—sitting lawmakers.

The White House claimed to
have picked up 15 votes over the
weekend.

An Associated Press wunt found
206 lawmakers saying they would
vote against the agreement or were
likely to do so.

On the other side. 186 lawmak-
ers said they would vote for it; 42
said they were undecided. Clinton
needs 218 votes to win.

Congressional sources said the
administration suuck a deal with
several congressmen from Oklaho-
ma and Texas to take action against
Canadian wheat imports in ex—
change for their votes.

The administration agreed to im-
pose quotas on durum wheat if
Canada does not change its pricing
policies within 60 days. the sources
said.

Rep. Larry Combest. R-l‘exas.
cited that agreement in announcing
his support for Clinton yesterday.

“They‘ve done a deal with every-
body but working people.“ charged
House Whip David Bonior. D-

Mich.. a leader of the anti-NAFTA
forces. But he added. “1 think we're
going to win."

On the (‘apitol's West From, sev-
eral hundred civil service union
members. mostly from New York
state, rallied against the trade pact.

“Dump this NAFTA." the crowd
chanted.

Many carried placards depicting
an oversized monkey labeled
“NAFTA" perched on the shoul-
ders of a frowning, hardbal-
wearing worker.

AFL-CIO President Lane Kirk-
land lashed out at Clinton for his
extraordinary promise to defend
Republicans who are attacked in
congressional races because they
voted for the trade agreement.

“The president has clearly abdi-
cated his role as leader of the Dem-
ocratic Party." Kirkland declared.

The labor leader also dismissed
the notion that a loss would wound
Clinton's presidency -—- a frequent
argument by NAFTA supporters in
recent days.

"That is nonsense." Kirkland
said. “I think the best thing that

President struggles to amass votes for NAFTA

could happen for the Clinton ad-
ministration is for this agreement to
be voted down." He said that would
allow Clinton to focus on issues “to
put people first for a change."

Undecided lawmakers who dined
with Clinton Sunday night told him
there had been “a sea change out in
their districts" and that public opin-
ion is moving toward support of the
agreement, White House press sec-
retary Dee Dee Myers said.

“As (U.S. Trade Representative)
Mickey Kantor said yesterday. we
expect ‘a Clinton landslide' — it's
going to be 218 votes, maybe 219,
but that’s all we need to win,"
Myers said.

“1 think it will be a narrow victo~
ry for NAFTA," said House Speak-
er Thomas lioley. D-Wash. “It's
based on evidence of things moving
in that direction. We are not
there yet. but we're moving in that
direction. very clearly."

The trade agreement would phase
out tariffs and other barriers over 15
years. Supporters say it will create a
huge market for American exports,
resulting in new jobs.

Opponents say American
workers will lose their pay-
checks as their companies close
up and rush to Mexico for
cheaper labor and less stringent
environmental rules.

Clinton scheduled eight 30-
minute one-on-one meetings
with legislators, mostly Demo-
crats now listed as “no" votes.

The president also was work-
ing the telephones, largely to se-
cure Republican votes. One offi-
cial said the White House was
counting on 120 from the GOP.

On the sensitive issue of pro-
tecting Republicans who support
the trade agreerrfent. the White
House said Clinton would de-
fend their votes but would not
actually campaign for them.

That would still make it possi-
ble for Clinton to stand up for a
Republican on the NAFTA issue
even while endorsing and cam-
paigning for a Democrat who
opposed it.

Clark, claiming she brought on the
injuries when she fought back.

The 13 pledges were eventually
indicted on misdemeanor assault
and criminal mischief charges.

According to court records, 11
of the pledges in June entered Al-
ford pleas, which meant they ad-
mitted no guilt but acknowledged
there was enough evidence for a
jury to convict them.

Jail terms were suspended on the
condition they perform community

service.

A 12th pledge, who testified be-
fore the grand jury, was allowed to
enter a diversion program, and
counts against the remaining pledge
were dropped.

The chapter was given severe
sanctions and was ordered to pay
Tucker-Clark‘s medical expenses.

in good standing.

It offered bitter denunciations of
“illegal aliens. racevmixers and he-
mosexual degeneratcs" in a race-
based appeal to “Take back Ameri-
ca."

A group called the “Realm of
Kentucky" stamped its identifica-
tion listing a post office box in Cen-
tral City. Ky., at the bottom of the
publication‘s front.

In January, rows of helmeted riot
police averted violence in Madison-
ville when they stood their ground
betwecn a group of angry black
youths and about a dozen robed
Klan members during a rally.

Hundreds packed a racial unity
event elsewhere in the town that
day, leaving mostly police, joumal-
ists, hecklers and the curious to
watch the Klan.

Self-proclaimed Kentucky Grand
Dragon Chris Conner began several
months of Klan activity in western
Kentucky last November when the
group applied to march in Central
City's annual Christmas parade.

The parade organizer, the Central
City-Muhlenberg County Chamber
of Commerce, canceled the parade
rather than allow the Klan to take
part. The Klan organized its own
parade, a tense affair in which
about 200 spectators watched about
12 robed Klan members.

Conner was arrested several
times in Greenville for allegedly vi-
olating that city's parade ordinance.

He was charged in Russellville in
December with unlawful imprison-
ment and terroristic threatening.
Those charges stem from alleged

threats on the life of Central City‘s .

mayor and the detention last year of
two Logan County women who al-
legedly were forced to view Klan
videos.

Conner has been in federal custo-
dy since May when he was accused
of threatening the life of a federal
Bureau of Alcohol. Tobacco and
Firearms agent in Bowling Green,
Ky. An August trial was delayed
while Conner underwent court-
ordered psychiatric testing in Louis-
ville.

The Klan tabloids distributed last
week were the first evidence of
Klan activity in the region in
months.

The Madisonville Messenger, the
town’s daily newspaper, said it was
unable to determine how many of
the tabloids were distributed in the
city because many people promptly
threw them away.

Newspaper officials learned of
the publication when a resident
found it lying near his copy of The
Messenger and called to complain.

Other countries in Latin America

“In the long run it will be a big
help for all the participants —- even
for those countries that aren't in the
deal," said Julio Puentes. a agricul-
tural economics graduate student
from Chile.

“I’ve been there. lived there. and

expectations will go down," he said.

Mexico, Venezuela and Columbia
currently are considering a free

ment already is in force with Co-
lombia and Venezuela.

“People are getting into open

doors," Puentes said. “If it doesn't

Catwoman -— also known
as Michelle Pfeiffer — is tak-

The movie actress and TV

writer-producer David Kelley
were married Saturday.
‘ The nondenorninational
wedding was performed in
Santa Barbara, Calif., Pfeif-

yesterday.

The ceremony included the
christening of Pfeiffer's

New York Newsday,

Tim Curry, best known for

The clash of cymbals and the
thunder of timpani drums heralded
the first national victory of the UK
Drumline on Friday.

The 29-member drumline beat
out 20 other percussion ensembles
from across the United States and
Canada in the “Bands of America
Marching Percussion Festival" held
in Indianapolis, Ind.

This is the first time the drumline
has won the competition although
it placed second In 1991 and filth in
1989

Dave Ratliff, a music education
senior and drumline member, said
he thought the victory was a crown-
ing touch to his senior year.

“This is the third competitive line
I‘ve played with here, and we‘ve
progressively finished higher,” ht.
said. “It was a nice way to finish ——
on a winning note."

That Winning note was struck
only after three months of intense
practice. Faculty adviser Jim Camp-
bell said the drumline had to per-
suade the director of the Otis A.
Singletary Center for the Arts, Hol-
ly Salisbury, to keep the doors open
after hours because the dnimline
could only practice from 10 pin. to
midnight on several nights.

Campbell said the group‘s dedi-
cation is inspired by the drum‘s
uniqueness among instruments.

“Drums are the most visual in-
strument. and they are also the most
articulate instrument" he said.

UK Drumline marching to Winning beat

Percussionists prevail to take
first place in national contest

“When you play a percussion in-
strument, everyone's a soloist. You
can't hide. Everything‘s revealed
—- all your mistakes — because you
can hear everything.

“If you play clarinet in the
marching band and you stop play-
ing no one‘ 5 going to know," he
said “But if you 're adrummer, eve-
ryone's going to know."

The drumline is composed of
snare drums, bass drums. cymbals,
titnpani drums and African drums,
as well as an electronic keyboard
and mallet instrumean like xylo-
phones and vibraphones.

Although most of the instruments
are drums, music education senior
Scott Kretzer said the group s per-
formance piece of electric fusion
was still “very melodic “ The drum
line performed songs by Chick (o
rea and Dave Weckel.

“it's jazz music that's fused a lit-
tle bit with rock,” he said. “All the
instruments, for the most pan. are
electric: electric guitar, electric
bass, keyboard and drums."

Kretzer said he choose the ar-
rangement because it was energetic
and he thought it would appeal to
the audience. Kretzer, no stranger
to winning competitions won the

1990 Drum (orps Sn. ire Drum
C ontest, an intemational drumming

competition.

“He's shy, but he's one of the
best drummers in the world,"
Campbell said affectionately of his
student.

Campbell founded the UK Drum-
line in 1984. “The students here are
highly talented. and they deserve to
compete at a national level and be
recognized." he said.

The only break in the rhythm of
the drumline's success has been the
lack of available funding. Campbell
said the group can afford to travel
only to competitions that are held in

the region. “Last year it was 111

afford to go." he said.

However. this year‘s
competition was in reach

“I tell like we really accom-
plished something," drumline mem»
bet and music education senior
Chris Vance said.

“But even if you play everything
the best you can, you still wonder
how everybody else did, or maybe
if I could've done better."

However. most doubts were van-
quished by the dnimline's victory.

“We‘re in bowl fever here at (K
right now." Campbell said. "For us.
this was like going to a bowl
game.“
