Committee looks at visitation policy in residence halls

 

By Nicole Heumphreus
Staff Writer

When the clock suikes midnight
at Blanding IV, all male visitors
must leave the building.

As the residents check their
guests out of the hall, they grumble
and complain to the resident advis-
er, who has the unpopular task of
ensuring that all the men leave.

 

Checking guests of the opposite
sex out of the building at midnight
is not a policy unique to Blanding
IV. In fact, all residence halls at UK
must abide by the visitation guide-
lines set up by the Office of Resi-
dence Life.

Currently, guests of the opposite
sex can check in at 2 pm. Monday
through Friday. On Saturday and
Sunday, guests may check in at

Sara Schneider. a professor of
directing. teaches her last class
at UK today.

Next week she will grade her
students' papers once more and
then attend their graduation cere-
mony before returning home to
New York to direct her own the-
ater company.

When she leaves Lexington.
she will be leaving more than
just a city. She also will be leav-
ing a time in her life that was
filled with new experiences and
challenges.

Schneider said she gained an
experience during her year in
Kentucky that she couldn‘t get
anywhere else —- especially in
New York.

She explained that she had-
taught before, but this year was
the first time she was a faculty
member and participated in the
academic life of school. Howev-
er. she said that the most impor-
tant experience she got in Ken-
tucky is its lifestyle.

“I was among people who be-
lieved that nothing important
was going on between New
York and Califomia," she re-
called of her life before coming
to UK.

“When I moved to New York
after graduating from school, I
did not expect to move some-
where else ever in my life. I
thought I would spend my whole

life between these two poles —
New York and Los Angeles.

“I did not have any image of
Kentucky before the job (at UK)
came. For me, it was what they
call ‘middle of nowhere.’ When
I got here, I was amazed how
beautiful it was. Besides, that
was the first time in my life
when I lived in a place with
clean air.“

Schneider said she was sur-
prised at how tied Kentuckians
are to their homes.

“They don‘t want to leave and.
if they have to, they do every-
thing to come back. In New
York, people go where business
goes. In Califomia. people like
the state very much but they
don't feel they belong to it.

“Stability, belongingness,
sense of family, sense of history
— that’s something that I
haven't seen before in my life,"
Schneider said.

She also was surprised at how
friendly Kentuckians are and
how respectful their attitudes are
toward women. At the same
time, Schneider said, women
have to pay a price by playing
certain roles.

“Women censor themselves a
lot. Personally, I don‘t like it ~—
it‘s very distractive. Often times,
in my class women have a hard
time saying something critical.“

The professor from New York

site-sex guests must leave by mid-
night, but on Friday and Saturday
nights, they are allowed to stay un-
til 2 am. These check-in and check-
out policies do not pertain to guests
of the same sex.

However, the guidelines may
soon change.

The Office of Residence Life has

established a committee to review
all practices. including the visita-
tion policy, for residence halls.

Residence Hall Association Presi-
dent Bryan Pryor said the commit-
tee issued a survey to all residents
to find out if the visitation policy
needs to be changed. The results of
the survey have not been completed
yet, Pryor said.

Although the results of the survey

are not available. the committee al-
ready has considered three possibil-
ities for a new visitation policy.

The first option would allow
guests to check in at noon Monday
through Friday instead of at 2 pm.

The second option would permit
guests to stay 24 hours, seven days
a week.

“Having 24-hour visitation every
day of the week will probably not

pass through the committee because
it would definitely not make it past
the administration," Pryor said.

The third option would allow res-
idents to have guests over for 24
hours on Fridays and Saturdays.
l’ryor said this option “has a good
chance of being recommended to
Residence Life Director Bob Clay."

Fair helps students take first step to job

 

By Ayana Blair
Contributing Writer

 

People tired of pounding the
pavement for jobs uied their hands
yesterday at actually meeting em-
ployers during a UK job fair.

The fair, held in Memorial Coli-
seum as part of the Kentucky Em-
ployment Conference, allowed job
seekers, employers and employ-
ment agencies to make proper con-
nections, said Drema Howard, asso-
ciate director of the University
Career Center.

Howard said this was the first job
fair of its kind. It featured more
than 100 employers from across
Kentucky and drew close to 800 job
seekers who arrived ready to fill out
applications and turn in resumes.

She said this kind of activity
helps promote the Career Center
and spread word about the numer-
ous services it offers to students and
graduates. Among the Career Cen-
ter‘s offerings are job placement
programs, employee referrals and
resume-writing workshops.

The fair also introduced employ-
ers to the Career Center, she said,
and will increase the number of em-
ployers who seek employees
through the facility.

Janie Conly, a health administra-
tion senior, attended the fair with
her class. She made several job con-
tacts and said the fair was an easy
way to get applications from differ—

Female athletes happy

 

By John Kelly
Senior Staff Writer

 

If almost all of the nation‘s major
universities live in violation of Title
IX, as a 1991 NCAA-sponsored
study suggests, why aren‘t more fe-
male athletes taking action against
their schools?

“Schools are always relying upon
the fact that their female athletes
will not sue or will not file a com-
plaint," said Katheryn Reith, assist-
ant executive director of the Wom-
en‘s Sports Foundation. “So they
think they can get away with things
like this. Not only is it wrong, it's
illegal."

Still, UK‘s female athletes don‘t
seem overly irritated about the fact
that the University's athletics asso-
ciation is spending more than $5 on
its male athletes for each dollar it
spends on its female athletes.

“We don‘t have a bunch of girls
beating down Kathy DeBoer‘s door
saying ‘Hey, we got rights,‘ “ said
Micki Hogue, who is conducting an

internal study of gender equity in
the UKAA for athletics director
C.M. Newton. “They get so much
other good stuff that they say ‘Hey,
we can manage.‘ “

That does seem to be the percep-
tion among UK‘s female athletes.
Most point out that the football and
men‘s basketball teams are the ones
that make it possible for UK to field
19 non-revenue sports, IO of which
are for women.

“I feel thankful to even be given
any money at all," senior volleyball
player Angela Salvatore said.
“There‘s a lot of schools that don‘t
get anything and so. to me, I‘m
grateful to those sports because
they make enough money to pro-
vide scholarships for non—revenue
athletes."

llogue said there is a certain de-
gree of acceptance among today‘s
female athletes.

“College sports is there for girls
now,“ said llogue, who wasn‘t al-
lowed to compete as a college stu-
dent at Michigan because it only of-
fered men's athletics. The men's

looked bleak and that some compa—
nies wouldn‘t even take resumes for
certain positions.

“Being a new graduate, it‘s tough
with all of the engineering layoffs."
Larson said.

Company representatives said
yesterday they were pleased with
outcome of the fair.

Billie Shipman. regional super-
visor of Fashion Bug. said she inter-
viewed many job seekers and found
the fair to be quite a help.

tutored Hogue and she went on to
win an Olympic gold medal. That's
a story she tells today‘s female ath-
letes sometimes.

“They give me that blank stare.
like ‘Noooooo,’ " Hogue said. “It‘s
already grown to where today's
woman doesn‘t even know the his-
tory of it."

They are more interested in to-
day, she said. And despite a few
grumbles, they seem to accept the
current situation with UKAA.

“It‘s true.“ soccer player Leslie
Meacham said. “Women‘s sports
don‘t get as much recognition as the
men. but it‘s going to be like that
for a while.“

Volleyball player Jane Belanger
agreed.

“When you really think about it.
we‘re really privileged with what
we have." Belanger said. “We‘re
being kind of greedy if you look at
it like ‘We want what men's basket-
ball gets.‘ The thing with me is that
I don't come in expecting the

world."

Salvatore said. “Sometimes it
gets frustrating when you hear sto-
ries about the football team gets to
go out and see a movie before their
game and they get to eat like steak
and shrimp and lobster and then we
have to settle for the Wendy's Su-
perbar or something.

“We know they make a lot of
money for the school and every-
thing, but it‘s depressing. If we ever
see a Shoney‘s again we‘re gonna
puke."

But Salvatore said she believed
her four years at UK were better.
from a gender-equity standpoint.
than they might have been else-
where. She gives the UK higher-ups
credit for that.

"You can see that through the
coaches we have — Bill Curry.
CM. Newton. Kathy (DeBoer).“
Salvatore said. “You can see that
they are people with good values
which they instill in their athletes.
and that‘s why we don't have a sig-
nificant sexism problem here at all.

Harry Enoch heading up environmental safety program

 

By Brian Bennett
Senior Staff Writer

 

When UK administrators were
searching for a director for the new
Office of Environmental Safety.
they wanted a person who had ex-
perience in the field and strong aca-
demic credentials.

They didn‘t have to look far to
find the one they wanted. No far-
ther. in fact. titan the University fa-
culty.

The man administrators chose
was Harry Enoch. a UK graduate
and an adjunct faculty member in
the Graduate Center for Toxicolo-
8Y-

“Harry Enoch was the clear
choice of all of us,“ said Donald
Clapp, vice president for adminis-
tration. “He comes with a PhD. and
some 20 years of experience in the
field."

1 . -- .. .1..'» 9..

Enoch began his term as director
on March 8. Since that time. he has
been working on getting the pro-
gram up and running, he said.

“I've been trying to get my arms
around the University environmen-
tal health and safety program,“
Enoch said. “It’s kept me quite
busy.“

Enoch‘s duties will include deal-
ing with on-campus radiation safe-
ty. hazardous materials disposal and
fire prevention. The office also will
deal with maintaining and assuring
safe workplaces and complying
with federal occupational safety
regulations.

Clapp said Enoch‘s hiring culmi-
nates a “process which was started
several years ago.” The creation of
the environmental safety office was
recommended by a group of faculty
members, he said.

"We looked at what we needed to
do to enhance the whole environ-

mental health and safety program at
the University," Clapp said. “Most
institutions either are doing this or
have already done it.“

Enoch received his bachelor's de-
gree in chemistry from UK in M57
and his doctorate in biochemistry
from UK eight years later. He has
served as a professor at the Univer-
sity of Connecticut, director of en-
vironmental and technology assess-
ment for the Kentucky Center for
Energy Research and commissioner
of energy research for the Ken-
tucky Energy Cabinet.

Before being named director of
the UK department, Enoch was
manager of research and develop-
ment for the East Kentucky Power
Cooperative in Winchester, Ky. He
has been a faculty member at UK
since l98l.

Fhoch was hired at a yealy sala-
ry of $82,0(X), which is higher than
many University administrators

who are on a similar level. Clapp
said the salary needed to be that
high to be competitive.

“We looked at salaries around
the country and did not find that
out of line with other positions.“ he
said. “We don‘t set out with a par—
ticular salary in mind. We look at
the job and then look at the job
ntarket to see what kinds of salaries
these people are getting.“

Clapp also pointed to the impor-
tance of the job.

“It‘s an important position with a
lot of responsibility.“ Clapp said.
“It‘s a senior position in any institu-
tion.“

Enoch said the money is similar
to the salary he was making at Fast
Kentucky Power Cooperative.

“It didn't represent much of an
increase from where I was.“ he
said. “I suppose it was the amount
required to get me out of that job.
It's always possible to hire some-

one cheaper. but I guess you get
something less. With me. they‘re
getting a faculty member and some-
one with a lot of experience."

At least one person who will be
working under Enoch has been im-
pressed with him so far.

"lie seems to be an extremely in-
telligent person," said Garry Beach.
manager of the UK fire and acci-
dent prevention program.

Clapp said he thinks the Univer-
sity has made an excellent choice.

“I‘m really glad we created this
position. which is of critical impor-
tance to the University,“ he said.

“I'm extremely pleased to be
able to recruit somebody of Hwy
Enoch‘s experience and quality for
thejob.Andthefactthathehasal~
ready had experience here at UK

A majority of central Kentucki-
ans believe America is doing
enough in waning Yugoslavian re-
publics by simply suppling food
and medicine, 3 Lexington (‘ommu-
nity (‘ollege poll found.

The poll. released this week, was
conducted by students of LCC po-
litical science professor 'I‘im Can-
tr t'll.

Among its findings, 4‘) percent of
those surveyed said supplying food
and medicine to warring republics
in the former Yugoslavia was an ad-
equate response. Seventeen percent
said the US. should withdraw en—
tirely. while 21 percent believed
more military involvement was
needed. lhe rest of the respondents
were undecided.

Some congressional leaders
called this week for increased mili-
tary action in the republics, includ-
ing bombing missions. The senti—
ments touched off a firestorrn of
debate and polan/ed the military
and political communities in Wash-
ington, I).(‘.

Cantrell said that while his stu-
dents may complain while working
on the poll. which is a regular class
project, they look back on the expe-
rience as helpful.

“(The survey) teaches them a lot
about public opinion and how pub-
lic opinion surveys are done," he
said. “They feel better about them-
selves, about how better informed
they are on the issues than the gen-
eral public.“

Iiach student calls people chosen
randomly from the phone book un-
til he or she gets 20 responses from
registered voters.

Slightly less than 2.500 registered
voters were polled in Fayette,
Woodford. Jessamine. Clark. Bour-
bon and Scott counties. among oth-
ers.

0n the topic of President Clin-
ton‘s popularity, 6 percent of poll
respondents said he is doing an out-
standing job; 28 percent rated his
performance “good.” A full 24 per-
cent said Clinton was doing a poor
job, while 34 percent said he was
doing a fair job.

The survey also asked questions
on topics like the Kentucky General

Assembly ethics bill and health

Cantrell said the survey showed
that a majority of people — about
70 percent —— want mandatory
health insurance and controlled
health care costs.

Only 24 percent of the population
was satisfied with the ethics bill,
while 26 percent said they were not
satisfied.

In other findings, Pam Miller is
the front-runner in Lexington‘s
mayoral race by a wide margin: 55
percent said they would vote for
Miller in the three-way race.

The poll also showed that eco-
nomic development and city financ-
es are the major issues in the mayor
race.

Valerie McGaughey, a secondary
English education senior and an RA

she is against 24-hour visitation of
any kind because behavior would
be difficult to monitor.

“As an RA. my job would be-

be bright talented and very recep-
tive.

“One of the best things about this
year (was) communication with
these students who are so eager to
learn. You tell them what you
think: they go home and tomorrow
they do better.

“I had a different teaching expe-
rience in past. In New York, talent-
ed young people became aware of
their talents very early. They’ve
been told that they are good so long
that it is hard to make them better.
A teacher is not an authority for
them, and they are too self-
confident to accept something new,
learn something new."

Schneider had a lot to share with
her students. In addition to practical
experience, she earned an under-
graduate degree from Yale. and a
master’s and a doctorate from New
York University.

She became involved in the thea-
ter as a child. then studied ballet in
high school, In college she jumped
into drama and also studied sing-
ing.

After graduating from Yale. she
moved to New York to make her
career in theater.

New York tumed out to be pretty
tough place to conquer. Schneider
took part in one audition after an-
other with very little success.

She decided to switch to directing
and sent thousands of letters to the—
ater companies offering herself as a
director and teacher of singing and
dancing. She was persistent and. as
a result. got some temporary and
freelance jobs. which brought her
valuable experience. she said.

Finally. Schneider decided that
she was not interested in interpret-
ing somebody else‘s plays — she
wanted to do everything by herself
from the very beginning, including
writing.

She founded her own theater.
called the Chaparral Company.
which performed in New York.

Schneider did not give up work-
ing with her company while study-
ing at graduate school.

ROTC chief
says cadets
will have
tougher year

 

By Rob Thorn.
Staff Writer

 

The commander of UK's Army
ROTC detachment told cadets
Wednesday that things will get tough-
er next year.

Lt. Col. Michael Connors. who
took over ROTC this year after 22
years of active duty. emphasized to
the young cadets that the program
was going to change under his leader-
ship.

“I‘m sorry this year wasn‘t more of
a challenge." Connors said to his
first-year cadets. “Next year will be
challenging. It will be interesting.
And. hopefully. it will be fun."

(‘onnors‘ cements came from his
speech at the ROTC annual spring
awards presentation in the Old Stu-
dent Center Theater.

In the past. freshman and sopho-
more cadets haven‘t been expected to
participate as actively as he would
have liked, Connors said.

“The attitude has been ‘just keep
them interested‘ —— which is impor-
tant — but it didn’t have them mov-
ing into advanced training,” he said.
“They were going in cold into their
junior year. The program should be
more progressive."

Connors also stressed the impor—
tance of academics to the ROTC
members. He said that with the trou-
bled economy. grades could decide
their futures — whether in the mili-
tary or not.

Connors‘ speech was only a small
part of the hourlong presentation that
celebrated the accomplishments of
UK’s ROTC and its members.

A trophy was presented to the
unit’s Pershing Rifle Squad. which
took one first~place victory and two
second—place titles during a regional
competition held in St. Louis.

The Ranger Challenge team also
was recognized for placing first in a
six-school competition and second in
a 25-school matchup earlier this se-
mester.

Six cadets were inducted into the
Kentucky Rangers at the ceremony:
Todd Barnes. Terry Gesle. John Heil-
man, George lmorde. Brian Rosen-
krantz and Seth Knazovich.

Dozens of individual awards also
were given to cadets. including The
Department of the Army Superior Ca—
det Award. This award generally is
considered the most prestigious and
is given to a cadet in each grade lev-
eI.

This year‘s recipients were: Loretta
Shelton. freshman cadet; Heather
Harrison, sophomore cadet; Johna-
than Ragan, junior cadet; and Marc
Cummins, senior cadet.

Patterson Office Tower coffee house being considered

 

By Kyle Foster
Senior Staff Writer

 

Administrators. faculty and food
services want a common ground —- a
place where they can meet and min-
gle over a cup 0‘ joe.

Robert Braun, director of UK Food
Services. is working with administra-
tors on a plan to develop a coffee
house in the north wing of the Patter-
son Office Tower mezzanine.

“This whole area of coffee shops is
becoming very popular. A place with
espresso. coffees. pastries, maybe
sandwiches. That was the concept
about which we've been talking.“ he
said.

Jack Blanton, vice chancellor for
administration. said the project stems
from the desire for a common meet-
ing place for those people hidden
away in the offices of POT — an idea
suggested by College of Arts and Sci-
ences Dean Richard Edwards.

“What Dean Edwards has in mind
is to offer faculty an opportunity to
come down from their offices and do
something to ameliorate the isola-

tion." Blanton said.

Although nothing is definite. Braun
said he is hopeful that the idea will be
approved.

“Obviously, with a place like that.
which is not a food service area. and
is not designed for a coffee house. the
basics of getting approval are differ-
ent. If it were already a food service
area. then we could go in and get
started." he said.

Blanton said the idea is great. but
finding money and working out the
logistics are obstacles that must be
overcome.

“It‘s getting underway." he said.
“We‘re trying to cost it out and see if
we can find the money."

Blanton said most or all of the
money would come from dining reve-
nue. but the idea will be approved
only if UK can determine that the
coffee house will make money.

"It’s a great idea. but if we can‘t
make money at it, then it‘s not a good
idea because students would be subsi-
dizing it." he said.

Braun said UK currently is trying
to get cost estimates for remodeling.

designing and start up. but doesn‘t
know when the final decision will be
made.

“A good design will make it
work." but it is not imperative that
the shop be opened by fall.

“When we started it. that was the
thought. but it‘s starting to get to the
point that I don‘t think we can (finish
by August) right now," Braun said.

Blanton said a decision will be
made withinOthe next month. and if
the plan is approved. work could be—
gin immediately.

Whether registration and Add/Drop
should be moved is an important fac-
tor. Blanton said. but one he said
could be easily resolved.

“With telephone registration. it is
going to eliminate those long lines.
we hope. So maybe we won‘t have to
move it." he said.

“Whether we‘re still trying to do it
on the other side. or move it to the
Student C enter. that‘s one on the
problems we still have to work out.“

Other changes that POT might see
in the not-so-immediate future in-
clude moving two departments to

make the building entirely Arts and
Sciences.

“(Edwards). rightfully so. would
like to have a building dedicated to
Arts and Sciences," said James Kud—
er. vice chancellor for Student Af-
fairs. “When that happens will de-
pend on money and availability of
space."

Kuder said the offices for Minority
Affairs and Student Affairs would be
moved. probably to the W.D. Funk—
houser Building. where almost all
other student services are located.

“Funkhouser seems to be a good
place to do that, but when that will
take place depends upon money.“ he
said.

Blanton said. “it strikes me as a
pretty good idea.“ but it won‘t hap‘
pen for a couple of years because of
the costs of planning. movmg and re-
modeling.

“Since I‘ve been here (almost six
years)." Kuder said. “I‘ve been push-
ing for a centralized student services
building. where students can have
one-stop shopping. instead of sending
students all over Kingdom Come."

U. of Alaska—Fairbanks takes precautions after shooting

FAIRBANKS. Alaska — Students
at the University of Alaska Fairbanks
didn‘t even bother to lock their dor-
unitary doors before this week.

Then. the bloodied body of a wom-
an was found in a dormitory bathtub
in the first campus killing in two dec-
ades.

“You don‘t have to be in a big city
for this to happen." said Bennie Wil-
liams. a graduate student from Wash»
ington. D.(‘

Williams. a resident assistant in the
dormitory cormlex. called the slaying
“a wake-up call.“ especially for stu—
dents from Alaska‘s remote villages.

“I think the main thing is people
have to learn that you have to be
careful." he sai
