MURRAY. Ky. 9— Ken-
tucky’s public universities
should avoid intramural squab-
bling for state money during
the latest rounds of cuts in
funding for higher education, a
college president said Monday.

Presiden. Hanly Funderburk
also told the ('ouncil on Higher
liducation that he and other
university presidents believe
that the council should remain
a strong advocate for universi-
iv funding.

liunderburk made his re-
marks after the council re-
ceived a briefing from two
deputy state budget directors,
Ron (‘arson and Bill Hintze,
who said the expected higher
education budget cut during
fiscal year 1994 will be the
12th in the last 14 years.

sions next year because the

short of projections.

have as many growing back-

There was no discussion of
the size of budget reductions

“We've got a responsibility

Campus crime numbers down from last year;
UK top all state schools with 918 offenses

Police Chief says area
is ‘safe ’ compared
to other universities

 

By Steve McSorley
Staff Writer

UK Police Chief W 11. Mc(‘omas
said late last week that a report
comparing campus crime at state-
supported schools in Kentucky is
misleading.

“You can‘t take this at face val-
ue. it‘s kind of like taking a Volks-
wagen and comparing it to a Mer-
cedes." he said.

The report. published by the
Kentucky State Police. compared
crime rates at Kentucky‘s eight
state-supported colleges. The fig-
ures showed that UK had the most
crime committed on its campus in
1992.

A total of 918 offenses were re-
ported at UK in the seven catego-
ries — including larceny. robbery.
rape and murder — used in the
comparison. Louisville and West-
ern were next with 428 and 342
crimes committed. respectively.

 

“My personal feeling about this
campus are that we are very safe
here in comparison to other
schools." Mc(‘omas said.

He cited several reasons why
UK led the state universities 111
crime rate. The two most impor-
tant are the size and location of
UK. McComas said.

“We are the largest institution in
Kentucky. by students and land
size. We should not try to compare
the others to UK because they are
in different environments.

“Universities‘ and colleges‘
physical locations will reflect what
is going on in the town or commu—
nity they are in: and Lexington. by
far, is a safe community." he said.

(‘ampus cn'me actually declined
slightly at UK in 1992. Overall.
4179 crimes were reported in
1992. compared to 4189 in 1991.

Traffic accidents and citations
made up nearly half of reported
crimes. McComas said about 65
percent of all crime on campus is
not UK-related.

Some students said they do not
feel unsafe at UK but that they
take precautions anyway.

demic year.

The program layolves collaboration among the UK grounds de-
partment. students and faculty to reduce pesticide usage and other
costs.

College of Agriculture faculty members train students to look
for insects, weeds and plant pathogens. The students monitor the
grounds and receive course credit for their time.

They report their findings. and the grounds crew applies tech—
niques to clear up problems and prevent further complications.

UK graduate student receives fellowship

A UK graduate student from Frankfort has been awarded a fel-
lowship worth almost $60,000 from the Dwight David Eisenhow-
er Transportation Fellowship Program.

Bradley N. Robson. a civil engineering doctoral student, is the
first UK student to be chosen for the fellowship, which is worth
up to $19,200 each year for three years.

'l'he award was created to attract. enhance and retain the na-
tion‘s brightest minds and top talent in transportation research and
engineering professions.

Robson works in the Kentucky Department of Transportation’s
bridge division. He has attended UK part-time. but the fellowship

New ordinance limits parking near campus

 

By Dale Greer
Senior Staff Writer

 

(‘ampus officials will tell you
UK has plenty of tin-campus park-
ing.

it does.

But hundreds of students and
staff engage every semester in an
automotive version of The Great
Treasure Hunt. 'lhey eschew Uni-
versity lots — many of which are
located far from (‘entral (‘ampus
~— in favor of close. free and rare
parking along city streets.

that treasure hunt will become
more difficult Aug. 2. when a city
ordinance restricting parking in
the South Hill neighborhood takes
effect.

The ordinance bans anyone but
residents and their guests from
parking on South Upper Street be-
tween High and Maxwell streets:
and along South Mill Street be—
tween High and Pine streets.

Keith Moorman, president of
the South Hill Neighborhood As-
sociation, said the law was neces-
sary because people who work
downtown or attend classes at UK
take up many of the approximately
50 free parking spots on South
Upper and South Mill streets.

Some of the historic homes in
the area don‘t have off-street park-
ing, and. as a result, residents of-
ten are forced to park their cars in
other neighborhoods or pay for
parking.

“It‘s a bad parking situation all
the way around." Moorman said.
“I don't have any off-street park-
ing where i live, so I rent parking
for $15 a month from a neighbor.

“To me, it‘s ironic that I, as a
resident of the neighborhood. have
to rent parking. while people who
don‘t live in the neighborhood can
park for free.“

Moorman said the neighborhood
association initially wanted to ban
non-resident parking from 8 am.
to 5 pm. but area businesses were

concerned the lack of parking
would turn away customers. Both
parties reached a compromise to
restrict parking only from 8 to 10
am. Monday through Friday.
Moorman said the early-moming
ban would prevent students and
workers from parking their cars
in South Hill all day. while still
offering some flexibility to neigh-
borhood visitors and customers.

Assistant Lexington Police
Chief Billy Burton. who heads
the police department‘s traffic
section. said officers will be
ready to ticket violators and tow
repeat offenders.

signed to keep students out of the
Pralitown neighborhood near UK.
“hadn‘t gone well at times."

Prailtown. which includes (‘01-
fax. Montmuiiin, Prall and Winnie
streets. prohibits non-resident park-
ing Monday through Friday, 7 am.
to 7 pm.

“People from the Pralltown
neighborhood were very demand-
ing that police be there so often.
and there were situations where
they wanted to go and chew the
students out," Burton said. “They
were trying to take enforcement ac-
tions into their own hands."

Betty Boyd. president of the
Praiitown Neighborhood Associa-
tion, said she was unaware of any
major problems. adding that resi-
dents were pleased with the re-
stricted parking program.

In addition to more parking for
residents. Boyd said the plan re-
sulted in a cleaner neighborhood
with less crime.

"We had a lot of vandalism and
theft with the cars — students leav-
ing a lot of valuables in the cars
and people from other ends of
town would come and break into
them."

Burton said he personally is op—
posed to parking plans like the
ones in Pralltown and South Hill
because police often have more
pressing duties than writing park-
ing tickets. But he said such re-
strictions may be the only solution
to parking problems near UK.

“Parking. as you well know. is
just a terrible problem. 1 don‘t like
the idea for us to just gang up on
students — that‘s the easy thing to
do. but we get a lot of complaints
when the University starts back.
There‘s no doubt about it."

Firm releases report on UK

 

Associated Press

 

[.linN(‘i'l‘(.)N. Ky. % A consul-
tant‘s report that examined UK‘s
administrative structure has recom-
mended shifting more duties from
President (‘harles Wethington to
the school‘s Chancellors.

Under the 11-year-old structure.
the three Chancellors handle both
academic and administrative duties
and report to Wethington. The
chancellors now head UK‘s main
campus at Lexington; the Albert B.
(‘handler Medical (Tenter. also in
Lexington; and the statewide com-
munity college system.

The 66-page report recommend-
ed that UK retain its top-level ad—
ministrative structure. But it reject-
ed a suggestion to create a
provost‘s office. with that official
becoming UK‘s chief academic of-
ficer answerable to the president.

During a review of UK‘s admin-
istration last year. two study

groups suggested creation of a
provost‘s office. The groups‘ re-
ports suggested a more centralized
setup would increase administra-
tive and academic efficiency.

But the report by the University
of Maryland‘s Institute for Re-
search in Higher & Adult Educa-
tion concluded that UK was best
served by its current system.

'Ihe consultants were Robert
Berdahl, a Maryland higher-
education professor. and Harold
Iinarson. president-emeritus of
Ohio University.

Wethington retained the consul-
tants last year after another round
of state-provoked budget cuts. In a
memorandum last week to UK‘s
faculty and staff. he said he was
accepting the consultants' report,

“In short. (the consultants) have
determined that the University is
making significant progress under
the chancellor system and that ‘the

theoretical gains of the provost
model must yield to the practical
strengths and great potential of the
sector model.‘ " he said.

Wethington also said he would
follow a recommendation to
strengthen the chancellors‘ offices
by delegating maximum authority
and responsibility to them. He said
he and his staff soon would identi-
fy areas that should be transferred
to the chancellors.

Wethington said he also accepted
another recommendation for regu—
lar meetings with various academic
officials to coordinate academic
planning and programs.

But citing UK’s budgetary prob—
lems. he rejected appointment of an
official to oversee and coordinate
these meetings and other academic
efforts.

SGA members to attend conference in LA

 

By Lance WIlllams
Editor in Chief

Student Government Association
President Lance Dowdy and three
members of the executive branch
will leave in late July to attend a
national conference that will in-
clude delegates from college and
universities across the country.

The 46th annual National Stu-
dent Congress, which is sponsored
by the United States Students As—
sociation. will be held from July 27
to Aug. 1 on the campus of the
University of California at Los An-
geles.

The three who will join Dowdy
will be SGA vice-president Amber
Leigh. lixecutive Director Rob
Warrington and national affairs lia-
son Ken Luthy.

“'lhis will be a great place to
sponge up information from the
other schools," Dowdy said.

'Ihe members of the UK delega-
tion were awarded funding for the
trip by the SGA Senate last month.
There was some debate before it

 

was approved because some mem-
bers of the senate thought the leg-
islative branch also should have
some representation in I.os An-
geles.

After a lengthy debate. the mon-
ey was allocated for the trip.

Following the trip. UK‘s SGA
will have the opportunity to join
the organization for a cost of
$1,000 a year. Dowdy said. how-
ever. that scouting to see whether
UK will join is not the focus of the
trip.

“We will be getting a lot from
this whether we join or not.“ he
said.

Dowdy said he hopes to accom-
plish three goals during the confer-
ence.

First. he said he wants the SGA
representatives to be the voice of
UK at a national level. Next. he
said he hopes to learn how schools
across the country are handling
topics such as budget cuts and di-
versity.

Finally. Dowdy said he hopes to
“establish networks and work to-

gether with other schools to solve
problems."

After the UK delegations re-
turns. the four students will make a
presentation to the full senate dur-
ing a SGA Senate conference to be
held Sept. 10.

The decision about whether to
join the organization will come
from the executive branch. al-
though funding for the registration
fee will have to be allocated by the
senate.

Dowdy said he doesn‘t have any
specific criteria for deciding
whether to join. but he said he will
get some idea of what to expect at
the conference.

“Anybody can claim that they
have done something. but I want to
see the results." Dowdy said.

If UK joins the USSA. it WI“
have voting privileges and eight
votes at the conference the follow-
ing year. This year‘s conference
will offer more than 30 workshops.
as well as a number of task forces
that will determine on what the
USSA will focus in the year ahead.

SEC displayed athletic prowess with eight national titles in 1992-93

  

Chris Tipton
Kernel Columnist

For students of the 12 South-
eastern Conference member
schools. summer vacation has
been in full effect for the past six
weeks. But for SEC athletes. it has
been business as usual.

Since the end of spring classes.
the SEC has won four national
championships. bringing the con-
ference‘s 1992-93 total to eight ti-
tles in five different sports.

It started with the Alabama
Crimson Tide going a perfect 12-0
during the football season Their
season concluded with a dominat—
ing 34-13 thrashing of defending
national champs Miami in the
Sugar Bowl.

The SEC's next show of power
came at the NCAA Gymnastics
Championships in Corvallis, Ore.
UK freshman sensation Jenny
Hansen capped off a year of break-
ing every school record by win-
ning the national all-around title.
During the meet. she scored the
first perfect 10 ever awarded at the
NCAA championship in the vault
competition and recorded the third
highest overall score (3950) in
history.

In the gymnastics team competi-
tion, the SEC. finished with five
schools in the top seven overall.
Alabama. led by Dee Foster‘s sec-
ond place finish in the all-around.
won their second national champi-
onship of the 92-93 year.

 

The next titles to fall were 111
running events. With the Arkan-
sas Ra/orbacks entering the SEC
in 1991. the conference became
even stronger in this area. The
“Hogs" continued their winning
ways as they won both the NCAA
Cross Country and the Men's
Track and Field events.

The SEC was also able to claim
second. fourth and fifth place as
Tennessee, Florida and Louisiana
State performed exceptionally
well. LSU‘s women’s track team
won the 1993 championship with
a dominating overall perfor-
manee.

Florida‘s men‘s golf team con-
tinued the SEC‘s winning ways as
they captured the NCAA Golf ti-
tle in late May. The Gators were
paced by the performance of their
younger players, who helped
them hold off Arizona State, the
defending champs.

The most recent title came
courtesy of LSU’s victory in the
College World Series. The Tigers
plowed through the eight-day
tournament. averaging over eight
runs a game and notched a shut-
out win over Wichita State in the
finals. This marked the second
baseball title in three years for
LSU and the third out of the last
four for SEC schools (Georgia
won in 1990).

Although an Atlantic Coast
Conference school won the bas-
ketball title for the third straight
year. the SEC was well represent—
ed in the tournament. Three of the

the SEC and UK advanced to the
liinal liour.

How can the SEC possibly be so
competitive in so many different
sports? The answer is overall con-
ference balance. The twelve SEC
schools are all equal in both talent
and determination.

Although no one knows what the
future holds. one thing is for cer-
tain. When the topic of college
sports championships comes tip.
one or more of the SEC schools
will have some say in the outcome.

the most talented round-ball high
school athletes congregated at the
Nike temple of basketball. held at
the Hoosier Dome in Indianapolis.
The purpose? To challenge those
most blessed with speed, power
and grace amongst themselves.

It was a chance to view nine
hours of basketball daily. For two
of those days, fans had the privi-

 

lege to witness their athletic abili-

lane and create. His defense is not
overly aggressive but it is opportu-
nistic. lverson is exciting to fans,
paralyzing to opponents.

(Trajan Langdon is poised and
intelligent. a Zen master on the
court. He has a very high level of
concentration that allows him to
influence a game at both ends of
the floor. Offensively. he is a
graceful ball-handler who keeps
his head up on the dribble. Like
lverson he is not an aggressive de-
fender but he mirrors every action
of his opponent to frustrate him.
Langdon was second in direc-
point shooting at the camp.

of a shot. But with UK coach Rick

version of Charles Barkley.

~Andrae Patterson is a chiseled
Charles Hurt. a UK power forward
in the early 1980‘s. He has a soft
touch but he doesn‘t have the ball-
handling skills yet. Improved ball-
handling on Patterson‘s part could
create another Jamal Mashbum.
-Sean Daughtery was the most
intriguing player at the Hoosier
Dome. This guy came in billed as
a 6-foot-10 three-point shooter.
But at the camp Daughtery was
found in the paint. displaying
some of the best post moves
around. He even had a deft left-
handed touch in his arsenal. He is
very comparable to former Arkan-
sas star Todd Day. who is now

lands and will also take on Syra-

 

cuse at the (‘arrier Dome.

But if you want to see one of
these match-ups in person, with
the exception of the I.outsv111e
game, you‘d better look into get-
ting a rental car or purchasing an
airline ticket.

UK‘s home schedule
something to be desired

Other than top-notch opponent
Louisville Rupp Arena patrons
will be treated to such non-
conference foes as Tennessee
Tech. Eastern Kentucky, More-
head State. San Francisco. Robert
Morris and Notre Dame.

OK. Eastern Kentucky and
Morehead State. I think. we can
tolerate. It is good to play in-state
schools that come to Rtipp Arena
and play with pride. Eastern Ken-
tucky came in and played with
their hearts on their sleeves last
season nearly pulling off an upset
that would have been what all oth-
er upsets are measured by. And

leaves

steam after halftime.

Speaking of in-state schools
wouldn't it be nice to see former
UK assistant coach Ralph Wil-
lard and his Westem Kentucky
llilltoppers on the schedule?

Next up is Tennessee Tech.
Why Tennessee Tech? UK de-
molished them Ill-75 in 1989-
‘)0 when Jamal Mashburn was
still playing for Cardinal Hayes
High and the Cats finished 14-14
overall. lf UK beat them that bad
in Rick Pitino's initial year at UK
you‘d better bring a blindfold to
this one because it could get ugly.

The last time San Francisco
was known for it‘s college has-
ketball was when a guy by the
name of Bill Russell was roaming
the baseline for them and Elvis
was just getting started in the mu-
sic business. Russell retired from
pro basketball before most UK
students were born. Enough said.

Robert Morris is the next sacri-

more games last season (”-18 in
‘)2~‘)3) than UK has lost II] the past
three (17).

Notre Dame will be the last noti-
conferettce foe as they visit on Jan.
a The Irish game won't be that
had. but Notre Dame hasn't been
up to UK‘s caliber the last couple
of years.

The overall schedule is strong.
probably better than last seasms.
And playing Syracuse on the road
this season means UK will get them
at Rupp in 1994-95. 1 know, it‘s not
wise to schedule a top-20 team eve-
ry other game and one always
needs some fodder on their sched-
ule, but the home schedule. other
than some good Southeastem (‘on-
fercnce matches, is wretched.

If you want to see what should be
some of UK‘s more memorable
games this season, it would be wise
to stay in close contact with a travel
agent
