Turner speaks
to SGA about
new health plan

 

By Melissa Rosenthal
Staff Writer

Another dime, another dollar.

Students probably will be asked
to dip into their wallets for an extra
$6.75 next year if they want to con-
tinue receiving the level of service
now offered by UK‘s student health
clirtic.

Dr. Spencer Turner, director of
University Health Services, told the
Student Government Association‘s
Campus Relations Committee lftSl
night that the increase will be nec-
essary for the clinic to continue op-
eration.

“Basically, if students want to
continue with the services now
available, this increase is neces-
sary,” Turner said.

If the increase is not approved,
Turner said, the student health fee
will no longer cover lab work, X-
rays and free prescriptions.

He told committee members the
increase, which must be approved
by UK's Board of Trustees before
taking effect, already has been rec-
ommended by the Student Health
Advisory Committee.

SHAC is an advisory body of stu-

dents appointed by UK President
Charles Wethington to approve the
health services budget each year.

Although Tumer said the in-
crease probably will be implement-
ed, he stressed that students would
benefit from it.

“We will begin operating by ap-
pointment," he said.

“Students will no longer have to
wait around for hours in order to
see a doctor.“

Although committee members
listened to Turner, most were un-
easy about endorsing any type of
increase.

“Students are already paying so
much,“ Senator at large Misty
Weaver said.

“I cannot, as a representative of
the students, endorse this increase."

Turrter responded to Weaver by
stating that if students wanted cur-
rent services to continue, they must
approve the increase.

Without the increase, Turner
said, the University Health Services
can no longer operate.

“University Health Services are
funded completely by students, so,

Shorten waits

By Shane Carlin

When you're sick and waiting
to see a doctor, ntinutes can seem
like hours.

At UK's Student Health Ser-
vice, ntinutes often become hours
—— especially when flu season
hits and more than 300 students
pack into the clinic each day.

University officials hope to
change that next semester with
extra examinatic . rooms and a
new appointment system to re-
place the current walk-in policy.

“The three years I've been
here. one of the things that has
concerned me is the waiting time
for students,“ said Spencer Tum-
er, director of University Health
Services.

A recent report by the South-
ern Association College Schools
praised UK's student clinic for
providing high-quality health
care but said there were “con-
cerns about long waits for care.”

After going over the report.
Turner and a management team
studied health clinics at several

 

schools, including the Indiana Uni-
versity and Michigan State. They
then developed a plan to reduce stu-
dent waiting times, which some-
times can approach three hours at
UK.

in addition to renovations that
will add two examination rooms,
the plan calls for new computers, an
advanced telephone system for tak-
ing an estimated 600 calls each day,
and staff changes to handle appoint-
ment scheduling.

To pay for the plan, Tumer is
seeking a $6.75 increase in the
$76.25 student health fee most stu-
dents pay each year. The bike,
which also will pay for staff salary
increases and rising operating costs,
must be approved by UK’s Board
of Trustees before taking effect

Most students interviewed yester-
day said they would gladly pay the
increase for better service.

“If didn‘t have to wait two extra
hours. it‘s worth it." marketing
sophomore Jonathan Mingea said of
the proposed fee increase.

Nursing freshman Renee Scott
agreed: “I think it‘s a good idea to
have an appointment because if you
go in between classes, you have to
wait really long, and then you’re
going to be late for class.

“I've gone twice. The first time I
didn’t have to wait, but the second
time, I had to wait for three hours,
including getting my medicine."

Students will be able to pick which

Melanie Page, a physical educa-

scheduling her appointments with a
specific doctor.

“I think (the appointment system)
would be fine," she said. “I would
rather chose a doctor that 1 like at

another time then have to get
someone i don't know well."

The appointment system will
be set up to treat emergencies
first, then regular appointments.
Turner said. A nurse will be on
duty at all times to determine if
someone needs emergency eare.

Last year, the Student Health
Service treated 52,000 students.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. — To

“He was proud that they ealled

“Just as we so often felt com-

cause he epitomized that role and

“In so many esSential ways, be

The chairmanship was of the

post Natcha sought for his entire
career and won only two years ago.

Clinton remembered when Natch-

Attack on Serbs
still a possibility

 

By Barry Schweld
Associated Press

 

WASHINGTON — The Clinton
administration sent its top mediator
back to the Balkans yesterday and
said it was prepared to threaten
Bosnian Serbs with NATO air
strikes to protect any Ukrainian
peacekeeping troops sent to Goraz-
de.

While the Pentagon this week ap-
peared to rule out using air power
to lift the Serb siege of the predomi-
nantly Muslim town in eastem Bos-
nia, administration officials said
that military assessment could be
changed after a UN. inspection.

A similar U.N. survey
led to the ultimatum that
forced the Serbs to end
their siege of Sarajevo in
February.

But Serb forces blocked
the top U.N. commander,

Lt. Gen. Sir Michael Rose,
from going to Gorazde. In-
stead, the British general

something that's been under discus-
sion since it was successful in Sara-
jevo."

Meanwhile, Rep. Frank McClos-
key, D-lnd., just back front Bosnia,
said the administration was tunting
away while Serb forces slaughter
innocent civilians.

A longtime advocate of more
forceful U.S. action, McCloskey
said he planned to brief White
House officials on his trip and urge
a shift in administration policy.

Like President Clinton, McClos-
key opposes the introduction of
US. ground troops in Bosnia until
a peace settlement between the
warring factions is achieved. But

McCloskey wants the Unit-
ed States and NATO to ex-
pand the threat of air strikes
beyond Sarajevo to Goraz-
de and other besieged cont-
munities.

On Tuesday, Gen. John
M. Shalikashvili, just back
front his own Balkans sur-
vey, said the notion NATO

went ‘0 Pale at the request Immair strikes could save Go-

of Bosnian Serb leaders to
discuss the possibility of
Bosnian cease-fire negotia-
tiorts.

Rose was considering whether to
dispatch Ukrainian peacekeepers to
Gorazde and then whether to rec-
ontmertd they be protected by
threatened air strikes. The officials,
speaking on condition of anonymi-
ty, said the Clinton administration
would support the UN. commander
by asking the North Atlantic Coun-
cil to back him up.

Three UN. military observers
and eight of Rose's liaison officers
were permitted to pocoed amid
mixed reports about the fate of the
town.

At the same time, American dip-
lomat Charles E. Redntan was sent
to Zagreb and on to Sarajevo this

last week‘s 11th hour budget
crisis and health-care impasse in
the General Assembly showed that
Kentucky is in need of an infusion
of new drinkers and leaders, State
Secretary Bob Babbage said last
night.

“What we saw at the end of the
week begs for leadership. begs for
enthusiasm, begs for someone to
step up and have a really dynamic.
imaginative and well-thought~
through plan for our state." said
Babbage in a speech to the UK
College Democrats.

And apparently Babbage sub—
scribes to the adage that if you
want something done right, do it
yourself. The Lexington native, 42,
plans to run for govenior next year.

“This is my time to step up and
make a contribution,“ Babbage

said.

Babbage blasted what he called
those “who work hard to defend
the status quo" and challenged the
20 students in attendance to look at
problems in new ways. As an ex-
ample, he suggested a solution to
UK’s quandary of what to do with
Lexington Community College,
which is rapidly out-growing its
tight quarters in the Common-
wealth Stadium parking lot.

Babbage’s answer: Move LCC
downtown into currently vacant
space. That would help merge the
academic and business communi-
ties, give students and faculty easy
access to the public library and
several restaurants and make Lex-
ington look like “the youngest city
in America."

“T hat‘s a radical way of think-
ing," he said. “But I like to think
like that. That's where public poli-
cy gets to be fun, and that's where

member the Holocaust. This year,
the focus was on ilungarian Jews,
whose virtual annihilation began
with the German occupation of
Hungary 50 years ago.

The service also marked the 50th
anniversary of the death of thou-
sands of Gypsies, who went to the
gas chambers at the Auschwitz and
Birkenau concentration camps.

“Today we remember all those
whom we lost in the Holocaust
during history’s darkest hour." said
Benjamin Meed, chairman of the
committee that organized the cere-
mony for the U.S. Holocaust Me-
morial Council.

As many in the audience wiper]
away tears, six survivors of the
Holocaust lined up to light mento~
rial candles while a US Army
Band violinist played a mournl‘ul
solo.

Then Rabbi Abraham ll. Fox-
man intoned the Kaddish, the Jew-
ish prayer of mourning.

Among the candlelightcrs were
five Hungarian-American survi—
vors and one Polish-American, Le-
opold Page, whose life was saved
by German businessman ()skar
Schindler.

Theresa Godla a l3-year4ild of
Gypsy descent, joined the candle-
lighters during the ceremony. and
placed a red rose beside the flames
to mark the Gypsy deaths.

During his remarks. (lore read
words from the diary of liva Hey-
man, a 13-year-old who died when
the Nazis invaded Hungary.

“ ‘Every time I think this is the
end, things couldn‘t possibly get
worse, and then I find out that it's
always possible for things to get
worse,” he read.

“On this spring day in Washing-
ton we think of Eva lleyman
and wish we could somehow go
back in time and rescue her,“ Gore

said. “But she wrote during the
last spring she would ever know."

Miles Lerman, chairman of the
US. Holocaust Memorial Council,
presented the council’s Eisenhower
Liberation Medal to retired Lt.
Gen. C.M. Kicklighter, executive
director of the Defense Depart-
ment‘s 50th Anniversary of the
World War 11 Commemoration
Committee on behalf of all the sol-
diers who helped liberate the Jews
during the war.

Meanwhile, Army Secretary
Togo 1). West Jr. announced the
Army has recognized the U.S. Hol-
ocaust Memorial Museum, which
opened a year ago this month, as
an official World War 11 commem-
orative site.

Also yesterday, the administra-
tion was asked to support a 71-
year-old Highland Park, NJ,
man‘s quest to make Germany pay
him $17 million for his suffering in
Nazi concentration camps.

Twenty—one lawmakers asked
Attorney General Janet Reno and
Secretary of State Warren Christo-
pher to file a statement bolstering
the case of Hugo Princz.

'lhe U.S. Circuit Court of Ap-
peals for the District of Columbia

The Germans denied his 1955
request for reparations because he

The state secretary also por-
trayed himself as a staunch sup-
porter of UK's proposed Central
and Life Sciences Library and said
he's “optimistic" the University
will receive its state funds. But he
urged students to keep up the fight.

“You need to make the point.
diplomatically but effectively, that
the library is important to you,"
said Babbage, a graduate of UK’s
Patterson School of Diplomacy
and lntemational Commerce.

Babbage admitted his upcoming
campaign will be one that will fea-
ture several highly controversial is-
sues. such as health care and the
future of tobacco in the state. and
also will come at a time when pub-
lic opinion of legislators is perhaps
at it lowest point.

“We're more cynical than we’ve
ever been. The media is certainly
doting on the negative, and the

electorate is certain that most of
the government is incompetent,"
he said. “That‘s a hard time to gov-

em.

it's also a hard time to get young
people involved in mcision mak-
ing, he said.

“People say that we're losing
young people to the Republican
Party. We‘re losing the young gen-
eration period, that's the point,"
Babbage said, pounding the podi-
um. “We‘re doing such a lousy job
that your generation says, ‘Why
would i want to do that'?‘ "

Still, Babbage said. there are
plenty of opportunities for young
people to become a pan of the pro-
cess.

“You, imbued with the freshness
of good ideas and new ideas and
and an understanding of history,
can be the moral force in this polit-
ical system," he said. “You are that

By Perry Brothers
Staff Writer

Historian Vladimir Poznakov
spoke at UK not as an expert,
but as an average Russian citi-
zen — one who does not support
Boris Yeltsin.

Poznakov, a professor at the
Russian Academy of Science's
institute of World History, chai-
lenged the accuracy of the
American media‘s portrayal of
contemporary Russian politics
as he shared his views on the
state of affairs in the one-time
Soviet republic.

Poznyakov said during his ad-
dress at the Patterson Office
Tower that he was an avid back-
er of Yeltsin during the first two
elections. but withdrew his sup-
port in early 1990 because
“Yeltsin started to behave pretty
similar to many communist sec-
retary generals of the past sever-
al decades."

Short of concentration camps
and mass execution, Poznyakov
said. “those fighting commu-
nism are using the same meth-
ods — ‘Those who are not for us
are against us.‘ "

This led to a discussion of the
1992 coup attempt in which Poz-
nyakov expressed distaste for
Yeltsin‘s handling of the upris-
mg.

“i had a feeling that those dep-
uties were pushed into a comer
and provoked to start the extre-
mist actions," Poznakov said.

He said Yeltsin deliberately
ignored the wanting signs of the
upcoming social disturbance.

“Yeltsin's government It the
ignored opposition become more
and more bold and brazen and
arrogant, until mass riots began.
(Then) they could use mass
force."

The force — tanks and can-
nons — proved to be another
similarity to the old regime, he
said.

“Try to imagine your Lexing-
ton chief of police ignoring riots
until they escalated to high lev-
els," Poznyakov said in response
to an audience member‘s specu-
lation that he was being too hard
on the Yeltsin administration.

 

Historian talks
about Russia
under Yeltsin

He said Americans do not
know the whole story of Russian
events because they receive a
“slanted view from the media."

“Do not believe that the peas-
ants support Yeltsin." he said.
“This is not true."

They withdrew their support,
he said, after Yeltsin told banks
to raise interest rates on loans for
peasants and farmers.

The “so-called free market is
non-existent because the Russian
economy is still dominated by the
large government conglomer-
ates," which are still controlled
by the same people, he said.

Poznyakov offered an over-
view of the turmoil his country is
facing, but then attempted to
stress the “bright side."

“The economy, although chaot-
ic, is still there. The streets are
being cleaned, and the bread is
being baked.”

He said the new freedom of re-
ligion has spurred a “religious
renaissance," and the “churches
are blossoming."

The most important transfor-
mation occurring, he said, despite
the crisis, is that “more and more
people cease to rely on the gov-
ernment and start to rely on them-
selves."

But Stewart Kaufman, a UK
political science professor, said
Poznyakov is misinformed.

“I thought it was a really good
reflection of how a lot of Mos-
cow intellectuais feel," Kaufman
said. “First, he‘s not an econo-
mist, so those are just personal re-
flections. He may not realize that
while the American media is
biased, Russian media lies."

The Russian and Eastern stud-
ies professor responsible for
bringing Poznyakov to campus,
Cynthia Rudcr, disagreed.

“There is a difference between
the way an American perceives
and a Russian perceives," she
said. “There is a difference be-
tween actually living something
and watching it on CNN."

Poznyakov ended the presenta-
tion on a positive note.

Rain gives Cats day of rest;

Morehead comes here today

 

By Brett Dawson
Assistant Sports Editor

 

Mother Nature did in UK and
Morehead State yesterday, but the
Wildcats and Eagles will try again
today to play ball.

The two teams will fight it out at
4 pm. at Cliff Hagan Stadium in a
makeup of yesterday‘s rainout.

The Cats (14-13) are coating off
a 15-14 loss at the hands of South-
ern Illinois on Tuesday.

UK has lost four in a row and six
of its past seven games.

Morehead State (13-14) lost a 5-3
decision to Marshall its last time
out.

Both UK and MSU have tailed
off after hot starts.

The Cats were 11-4 before going
3-9 in their past 12 games.

Morehead went 9-3 out of the
gate before stumbling.

    

Most of UK‘s struggles can be
attributed to pitching and defense.
The Cats have been on a hitting
tear of late. scoring 39 runs on 41
hits in their past three games.

But all of those games have been
losses. UK has
given up 44 runs
and 50 hits in

“Our young
pitchers. especially
our freshmen
and sophomores
have really been
struggling." UK
coach Keith Madi-
son said.

”They‘ve been pitching up in the
strike zone and getting behind in
the count."

UK's defense also has been
shaky the past three games.

The Cats committed ll errors in

I at mtmt

those games and now have 59 on
the season.

Sophomore first baseman Paul
Morse is just one of many (‘ats
struggling in the field.

Morse had two errors against SIU
on Tuesday, equaling his total for
his entire freshman season. Morse
has 11 errors this year.

“Not only are we not playing
well defensively. we‘re not playing
aggressive defensively." Madison
said.

“That‘s what really gets a coach
frustrated."

Madison remains optimistic that
his team can reverse its slump and
get back into form.

But he said playing an in-state
learn like Morehead won't provide
any extra motivation for his team.

“The motivation right now is for
us to play better," he said.

“At this point. we don‘t need to

look at who we're playing, we just
need to look at playing better."

Notes:

°UK rightfielder Pookie Jones.
suffering from a mild hamstring
strain, is expected to be able to play
today.

The junior. whose average has
dropped to .260 but who still is
among the Southeastern Confer-
ence's home run leaders. sat out
againstSlU.

°Freshman designated hitter Jay
Tedesco has been swinging a hot
bat for UK.

Tedesco went 3-for-3 with a
grand slam home run and two dou-
bles against Southern Illinois.

The 8111 game was Tedesco's
first collegiate start.

He is batting .429 (6-for-14) with
two home runs and eight RBI on
the season.

Williamson, Hogs

greeted by 3,000
at airport title bash

FAYE'I'I‘EVILLE, Ark. — Cor-
liss Williamson may have thought
he‘d started a fad.

Williamson, named most valu-
able player in the NCAA champion-
ship game at Charlotte, NC, in
which Arkansas beat Duke 76-72,
shaves his head bald.

Among the crowd of 3,000 who
turned out to welcome the Razor-
backs at the airport Tuesday was
Arkansas student Toby McCarter.
his head shom clean —- until he
turned around and showed the
back.

There. you could read the word
“hogs" spelled out in the only hair
the barber left.

“I’m just showing support for my
Hogs," Carter said. “I couldn't go
to Charlotte, so I thought it was the
best thing 1 could do."

Nolan Richardson got a special
welcome. As the weary coach left
the plane, the chant rose from the
crowd: “No-LAN, No-LAN, No-
LAN."

“It‘s a great feeling to finally win
it, but I go back to work tomor-
row." Richardson said at Drake
Field.

“I‘ve not been to sleep yet. I can
hardly wait to get home," Richard-
son said above the roar of the
crowd.

Scotty Thurman, whose arching
3-pointer with 50 seconds left put
Arkansas ahead for good in Mon-
day’s title game, also was ready for
bed after making the rounds of the
yesterday morning news shows.

“1 just got a little time to sleep on
the plane," Thurman said.

Junior Clinton McDaniel beamed
and waved his arms at the crowd.
“This is what Arkansas basketball
is all about,” he said of the fans.

Winning the championship
“hasn’t sunk in yet. and I haven‘t
had much time to think about it."
said junior Corey Beck. “But the
fans were great, and this is real
great to see them here today."

The players waded through the
crowd, smiling and shaking hands.
Fans waved signs that said “Razor-
back Hogs Are Tough. Talented
and Intelligent" and “Duke Who?"

A special ceremony was planned
for today in Bud Walton Arena,
when the team will receive the
CNN-USA Today championship
trophy.

“We don‘t have to talk about re-
spect anymome," said Arkansas
athletic director Frank Broyles.
Winning the tournament “gives you
a different level of acceptance. and
the respect will be there," he said.

Broyles, who is being treated for
an irregular heartbeat, did not watch
the game on the advice of his doc-
tors.

“I'm proud for Nolan because
I‘ve been with him every step of the
way,“ said close friend Andy Sto-
glin. coach at Jackson State and
Richardson‘s assistant at Western
Texas College when the team won
the junior college championship in
1980.
