Tuition increase
fair, Hill says

By MCHAEL L JONES
Editorial Editor

James Hill, the student member
of the Council
on Higher Edu-
cation, said that
students at Ken-
tucky’s eight
public universi-
ties and 14
community col-
leges should use
the 18.5 percent
tuition increase
approved by the
CHE to their
advantage.

“Students should be proud of that
28 million," said Hill, a UK third-
year law student. “They can go to
legislators and say, ‘We’ve paid our
share, now it’s your tum."’

Hill told the UK Student Govem-
ment Association Senate last night
that it is imperative that students
lobby state lawmakers on behalf of
higher education.

Although some student body
presidents have criticized the
amount of the increase, Hill said

LOHMAN

that the tuition increase is not “il—
logical and it is within reason."

Hill said that students were fortu-
nate that the university presidents
did not press the council to abandon
the formula and increase tuition by
a greater amount.

“They were definitely going to do
it," Hill said. “When someone has
a lS-page proposal written, you
can take your money to the bank."

Hill criticized University of
Louisville President Donald Swain
and CHE Chairman Mike Harreld
for supporting an even higher tui-
tion increase.

“Millionaire bankers and univer-
sity presidents who live in man-
sions don’t understand the econom-
ic effects of a tuition increase,” he
said.

Hill said that he expects another
tuition increase of about 18.5 per-
cent in the 1993-94 biennium, but
only if the state puts more money
into higher education.

“That's money that helps eco»
nomic development in Kentucky."
Hill said. “The key to higher educar

The first phase of construction
on a $22 million, lOO.acre arbore-
tum sponsored by UK and the Lex—
ington-Fayette Urban County Gov-
ernment will begin shortly
following UK‘s last home football
game, Nov. 25.

The University accepted a
$312,300 bid from the EEC. Mat-
thews Co., a local contractor, over
three other bidders.

The University estimated that the
job would cost $337,000, according
to UK Vice Chancellor for Admin-
istration Jack Blanton.

The University has a 50-year
lease agreement from the Lexing-
ton-Fayette Urban County govem-
ment, who is financing the first
phase with a $500,000 grant.

The grant includes design fees
and construction costs.

The Collegians for Academic Ex-
cellence Phone-a-thon is proof that
personal contact can have a big in-
fluence on a high school .senior‘s
decision to attend college, according
to Paulette Sides, CAE chairman.

When CAE began the phone-a-
thon about five years ago. Sides
said some people were skeptical
over whether it would help recruit
students.

“Some people had doubts our
first year," Sides said. “But we
proved them wrong. One yearl
called a girl from Hawaii and she
liked me so much she called me
back twice. Now she’s a student
here at UK.”

This week, CAE members have
been calling prospective UK stu-
dents and telling them about what
it is like to attend college in Lex-
ington. About 500 high school
seniors had been reached through
yesterday.

the UK Board of Trustees in 1986,
will be located off Alutnni Drive
near Greg Page Stadium View
Apartments.

Blanton said that grading will be-
gin in a few weeks to create a new
entrance into the arboretum. The
current road will be moved 50 feet
east toward Tates Creek Road to
create better “site lines," he said.

The first phase includes a parking
lot, a fenced 10~acre home develop—
ment garden with a fountain and a
trellis walkway near the American
Water Company’s water tower.
Blanton said.

Blanton said people will be able
to visit the garden to learn how to
plant, water and fertilize home-
grown plants.

“It fits with our University ser-
vice mission of teaching," Blanton
said. “It‘s a service function.“

CONFRONTING A PROBLEM

Eating disorders may not be a
hot topic with many students. but
UK health experts say it is a seri-
ous problem among many female
students.

The two most common eating
disorders are anorexia nervosa and
bulimia nervosa.

Anorexia nervosa is caused
when a person tries to lose a lot
of weight in a very short amount
of time. Bulimia nervosa is
caused by binge eating, which
causes people to lose control of
their eating behaviors.

Susan West, assistant dean of
students and adviser to the Pan-
hellenic Council, said eating dis—
orders are a problem among many
women in sororities.

“Last year at least five chapters
implemented programs concem-
ing eating disorders, “ West said.
“Sororities at the national level
have recognized eating disorders
as a necessary problem to address
within their memberships and
hate created programs for them to
use."

Eating disorders can be treated
with medical care and counseling,
but health experts say that recog-
nizing that someone has an eating

“In the case of eating problems.
education makes a big difference,“
said Lisa Stofer, health education
coordinator. “Otherwise, it might
go totally undetected."

“People often feel h()pClL‘\\
about eating disorders," said Janet
Coffey, a psychologist in L'K‘s
Counseling and Testing Center.
“But the fact is that most people
with eating disorders respond well
to treatment and go on to lead
normal lives.”

“Sometimes (women “Mil eating
