KFC franchise
coming to UK
by fall semester

 

By John Kelly
Sports Editor

Little Chickadees move over. The
Colonel is coming.

Legal representatives for Ken-
tucky Fried Chicken and UK Food
Services are “ironing out the de-
tails" of a contract that would bring
one of the companies‘ fast-food out-
lets to campus by the fall semester.
Vice Chancellor for Administration
Jack Blanton said yesterday.

“The KFC people sent us a con-
tract," Blanton said. “We have
amended it. and we’ve sent it back
to the lawyers. Hopefully. we can
get the details ironed out soon."

While the deal with KFC is in its
final stages. Blanton said, it won‘t
happen this semester as UK previ-
ously had hoped.

“There‘s probably no way we can
get it done before school is out."
Blanton said. "We‘re a third of the
way into this semester now. But we
would like to have it in place when
the students return in the fall."

Food Services Director Robert
Braun announced in the fall that UK

 

was working on bringing brand-
narne products into food services
and that they could be in place by
the end of this semester.

He said yesterday he had wanted
to have at least one brand-name
restaurant by the end of this semes-
ter, if only for the sake of UK's
“getting its feet wet.“

While that now seems out of the
question. Braun said he hopes that
UK can have more than one brand-
ntune product by fall.

“Some of the companies are
making this a bit easier," Braun
said. “But they want to protect
their good name. and they wzmt
something out of the deal, too.
They have to decide that you‘re
running a good enough operation.
'Ihat‘s not a problem for us be-
cause they‘re coming to us.“

He also clarified that UK
wouldn‘t be building an entire res-
taurant at some location on cam-
pus. but that it would be incorpo-
rating a mini-restaurant. similar to
those at shopping mall food court
restaurants. into a current food ser—
vice location.

Arts and Sciences
begins celebration

 

By Ty Halpin
Assistant Sports Editor

 

The College of Arts and Sciences
kicked off a weeklong schedule of
activities yesterday, which hap-
pened to be UK‘s 128th birthday.

‘We thought it was time for the
college to be in the front,“ said UK
President Charles Wethington, who
attended a cake-cutting ceremony at
the Patterson Office Tower Mezza-
nine to commemorate the two
events. “The college is a critical ele-
ment of the University."

(‘hancellor of the Lexington
Campus Robcn llcrnenway and
College of Arts zuid Sciences Dean
Robert Edwards joined Wethington
at the ceremony.

“We activities

have many

planned with a wide range of

events." Edwards said.

As part of Arts and Sciences
Week. several of the college’s
classes are open to all University
students for observation.

“Students can see parts of the
University that they don‘t often
see." Edwards said. “1 hope stu-
dents will take advantage of the op

rtunity to see other classes.“

Both Wethington turd Edwards
said budget cuts and restructuring
will effect the (‘ollege of Arts and
Sciences in the future.

"All of our work in restructuring
has more clearly defined our plan.“
Wethington said. "Dean Edwards
has focused the college on areas he
thinks can use resources and reve-
nues best each month."

Edwards said he agrees with
Wethington's assessment of the sit-
uation.

IFC opts
to review
rush plan

By Nicole Heumphreus
Staff Writer

The lnterfratcniity (‘ouncil sent a
proposal for new rush guidelines
back to committee for further revi-
sions yesterday.

The proposal suggested three
n 'W guidelines in response to a pro-

isal to defer rush until the spring,
The thinking behind deferred rush
was to allow fresluriaii the chance
to adjust to University life and the
chance to decide whether to rush.

Instead of deferring rush. the rash
committee proposed that l’al' lilsh
be delayed by three weeks

“This would allow 11"(' to pc
rush." said Stephen l)2l\\;lllillc. 11c
vice president of rush and a mem-
ber of social fraternity Delta lair
Delta. “Also this would allow pros-
pective rushees to decide if they
want to rush and which fraternity
(to rush)."

Another guideline proposed that
dry rush begin at noon Sunday of
the week rush begins and end at
noon Friday of the same week,

During dry rUsh. alcoholic beverv
ages are not allow ed on the fratenii-
ty premises. 11-'(‘ vice president of
rush will monitor dry rush activi-
ties.

To assist in eliminating possible
dry rush infractions. Dawahare sug—
gested a "Rush Enforcement (‘orn-
mittee" to be composed of members
from all the fratemities.

The third proposed guideline
states that rushees should not be
able to attend any orgzuii/ed frater—
nity functions. Exceptions to this
guideline would be that rushees can
attend any function organi/ed by
ll-‘C or visit the fratcmity house it
they are accompanied by a regis-
tercd family member or a legacy

By Melissa Rosenthal

More than 7‘0 people attended
the lntemational Talent Show last
week, htit many lntemational stu-
dents say UK doesn‘t do enough to
promote international events among
American students.

“The University really does do a
lot for intemational affairs. but they
don‘t really do much to get us ac~
quainted with the students that

aren‘t foreign.“ said Wai llsicri
(‘hcah. a public relations trarister
student trorri Malaysia.

“We utrlr/cd every resource pos-
sible for advertising this event .

the students whether they attend or
not." Terry Allen. chainnaii of the

Clinton economic pldn
might reduce deficit
with more spending cuts

 

EDITORIAL

 

President Clinton used the annual State of the Union address last
week to sell his economic package to Congress and the Anterican

people.

Clinton's economic, plan. which calls on the American people to
sacrifice more and give more. appears sol-
id. and people seem to support it. If it sur-

vives. it just rrtight work.

Congressional porkbarreling must not
get the best of members of Congress. As
Clinton calls on the American people to
sacrifice. the members of Congress also

must sacrifice.

Traditional Democratic

strongholds
must be let go to allow money to be used
for deficit reduction. In turn. Republicans

CLINTON

also nrust fight for funher reductions in
spending. in addition to what Clinton has proposed.

Not only should the Republicans push for additional cuts. but
they also should cite specific examples of where these cuts can be

made.

First on the list should be the National Endowment for the Ans.
Its budget should be axed. along with those of the Public Broadcast-
ing Service and the proposed multi-billion dollar NASA space sta-

tion.

As Clinton said. during troubling economic times we must all

sacrifice.

But Clinton also should practice what he is preaching. The elimi—
