The year-long battle over an inter-
national student fee may come to an
end next week when students and
administrators will meet to discuss
the controversy.

A meeting is scheduled for Oct
11 between Robert Hemenway.
chancellor for the Lexington Cam-
pus, and international student repre-
sentatives to decide if the fee, which
applies to all international students

gear, a

at the University on a H or F-l
visa, should be repealed.

The fee, which went into effect
last fall, is $50 per semester and
$25 for the summer session.

The UK Board of Trustees voted
last month to suspend the fee for a
year rather than repeal it.

Adrian Smith, president of Gradu-
ate Students Assocation. and Mohan
Munirathinam, secretary of the or-
ganization, wrote a press release
and a letter to Hemenway last
month, voicing their disapproval of

the BOT’s decision.

In the letter. Smith and Munirathi-
nam asked Hemenway and the new
committee investigating the lntema-
tional Student and Scholars Office
to address the “discriminatory na-
ture” of the fee.

Also, the letter requested that the
committee be fair by appointing an
equal number of international stu-
dents and faculty and administrators.

Hemenway sent Smith a letter two
weeks ago, expressing interest in
student's concerns and proposing to

“We’ve always thought that He.

“We’re very encouraged abOut the

lntemational students had wanted
the fee eliminated, but trustees in
August chose instead to study it for
another year, drawing fire from
many campus groups.

“This is a major step

that is comfortable for

Jean Henslee-Downey

 

The new rooms are sterile in order
to protect patients from bacteria
floating in the air. and patients will
be able to have continuous visitor
support with the 24‘hour visitation
policy on the floor.

A comer room including two
rooms for guests has been built to
allow family members to spend the
night with a patient.

As an extra precaution against in-
fection. visitors must scrub and put
on a cover in a specialized area be-

fore entering the unit to avoid ex-
posing patients to outside bacteria.

Patients will undergo condition-
ing therapy after receiving a bone
marrow transplant to wipe out any
remaining cancerous stem cells and
encourage growth of non-malignant
cells. Stem cells create other neces-
sary cells, like white blood cells and
platelets. Patients have a low white
blood cell count after conditioning
therapy. and when this important
component of the human immune
system is low. patients must be pro—
tected from bacterial infections.

The resulting need for clean air
brought about installation of what
Henslee-Downey called the “most
astounding, technologically ad-
vanced" filtering cycle. in private

Breast cancer seminar
to help victims cope

By MYRNA MARCA
Assistant Arts Editor

When Jean Grierson discovered
she had breast cancer in 1987. she
said it was “a shock“ to discover
she had the disease.

“I didn’t have any symptoms (of
breast cancer) at all.“ Grierson said.

She immediately went to a sur-
geon for a second opinion and then
had a bisectomy. Following the op-
eration. she endured nine months of
chemotherapy. which she called the
“toughest part" of the ordeal. De-
spite support she received from
family members and friends. she
said it was a hard time for her.

“i had to deal with my teen~aged
daughter and the repercussions of

that," Grierson said. “She didn‘t un-
derstand the disease. and she tried to
distance herself."

Seeking to help bridge that gap
for people like Grierson. a confer-
ence for people seeking support and
information on dealing with breast
cancer will be held this Saturday.

Today is the last day to Sign up
for a breast cancer seminar titled
“Woman to Woman W." [t is de-
signed specially for women who
have had breast cancer and people
who are close to them. It includes
lectures on the latest medical up-
dates on breast cancer and chemo-
therapy. as well as special sessions
for men and nurses.

Many students choose to go to
graduate school to increase their
marketability and their chance of
finding a good job after gradua-
tion.

But what they may not know.
UK officials say, is that they can
also go to work by staying in
school — because there are jobs
that need filling on campus as
well.

Fourteen percent of all doctoa
ral, tenure-track positions in busi-
ness schools currently are vacant.
Since 1973. the total number of
business degrees given has in-
creased by 84 percent at the
bachelor‘s level, but only 19 per“
cent at the doctoral level.

These percentages mean imme
diate job openings for those who
are qualified.

The reasons behind these va—
cancies can be attributed to the
commitment needed to '..tentt
college for four more years and
cope with the loss of income that
entails.

“Going back to school for four
years means that that person
would have to sacrifice money."
said Dan Fulks. assistant dean of
the business and economics~ col—
lege.

“To decide to go back to
school and get your PM) in
busmess is not a financial deci-
ston. but it would have to be be-
cause the person wanted to
teach," Fulks said. Because the
earning potential of a graduate
WlIl’l a master’s degree is fairly
high. many dec1de not to length-
en their stay at school.

In addition to the income a stuo
dent would lose by retuming to
school. Fulks said another factor
in the deciSion to attend graduate
school is that the curriculum has

 

HIP FFERED
Many leave college
not knowing of jobs

become more rigor0us.

“A person thinks harder about
his decision to go back," he said.

The fact that people are not re-
turning to receive a doctoral de-
gree in business is not a new
trend.

“It takes a while to see the de-
mand increasing,” Fulks said,
yet the need for qualified faculty
in business is up. For every new
business doctoral graduate, there
are almost three business school
faculty openings.

To conform to accreditation
standards, Fulks said schools
now require faculty to have a
Ph.D. instead of JUSI a master’s
degree in business.

The national chapter of Beta
Gamma Sigma Honorary Socie—
ty has teamed tip with some ma-
jor corporations, as well as 98
collegiate schools. to make rc—
cciving a business doctorate
more affordable, thus increasing
the opportunities a student has.

One hundred doctoral fellow-

to qualified students who would

Coaching football and winning
games aren't Bill Curry‘s only
concerns.

The
men‘s foot-
ball coach
emphasized
concern for
all students at
UK - not
just football
players — in
an informal
talk with stu-
dents at Kir-
wan Tower
last week.

“The reason I'm a college foot-
ball coach is because I care very
much about college-age stu-
dents," said Curry, adding that
the football department feels a re-
sponsibility to the UK campus.

Curry said he wants to make
football fun for the students.

“I like to understand what your
concems are and most of all we
want to give you a great football
team — something you can real—
ly enjoy," he said.

Nobody cares if the students
have fun at the games anymore.

UK

CURRY

Curry says winning
isn’t only concern

according to Curry.

“The thing that Kentucky fans
are famous for is sticking with
their team.

“Just remember that we‘re
here to serve you —— to be a great
team for you."

Student support for the Wild—
cats is very important to team
morale, and the atmosphere on
campus can make a real differ-
ence in the performance of the
team, Curry said.

He encouraged students to
stick with the Cats even when a
loss seems inevitable.

”The most important thing is
to be at the games and stay to the
bitter end."

Kirwan Hall Director Paul
Broderick said Curry's talk
helped students to relate to Curry
the man, not just Curry the
coach.

“I think it’s important for peo~
pie to realize that they (the
coaches) are human too,” Brode-
rick said.

Students need to realize that
these people are not “demi-
gods,” but are like anyone else,
he said.

“I think this is a time that we,
as students, owe it to our football
team,” Broderick said.

teaching and research,” he said. “A
university should be organized in
such a way that respects both their
roles and their ties to each other."

When Hemenway became chan-
cellor last year, he saw a deficiency
in the undergraduate program and
asked the faculty for their ideas on
revitalizing undergraduate instruc-
tion.

As a result of faculty response.
Hemenway decided to revive the of-
fice of Dean of Undergraduate Stud-
ies, which was eliminated a few
years ago because of a budget
crunch.

After having conducted a national
search for candidates, Hemenway
appointed Swift as dean under com-
mittee advisement. Swift has been a
classics professor and previously
served as director of University
Studies.

Hemenway said Swift’s experi-
ence in undergraduate studies and
his ongoing enthusiasm in the pro-
gram made him a natural choice for
the position.

“My role as dean is to make sure
the teaching dimension of a faculty
member’s responsibility also gets at-
tention and that the teaching func-
tion gets appropriately rewarded
during an instructor’s application for
tenure," Swift said.

For this to be possible, Swift said
more emphasis must be placed on
the importance of applying research
to the classroom.

“Research is also preparing for
class, staying up to date and fresh in
your field,” he said.

To help instructors with their
teaching, Swift invites speakers to
discuss different undergraduate
teaching methods and encourages an
exchange of ideas about teaching

mini-grants for supplemental teach-
ing materials.

“I see myself as a catalyst, get-
ting faculty to think, talk and share
their successes,” he said. “Then I
help to implement their ideas by
providing the funds.”

Swift said that each fall he orga-
nizes a mandatory orientation and
follow-up seminar to prepare new
teaching assistants. At those ses-
sions, professors and experienced
teaching assistants work with first-
year instructors on teaching tech-
nique.

Swift also chairs the Under-
graduate Council, which reviews all
course changes at the undergraduate
level, and the University Studies
Committee, which reviews all gen-
eral studies requirements.

Hemenway said he is pleased
with Swift as dean and is optimistic
about the future of undergraduate
studies.

“He really cares about the stu—
dents.” Hemenway said. “He wants
to help TAs (teaching assistants)
learn how to teach effectively, and
he is a mentor to the graduate stu—
dents. I think we can make a major
impact on the quality of undergrad-
uate education with Lou's leader-
ship."

“This will be an uplifting confer-
ence for those who seek support and
information,” said Grierson, a mem-
ber of the planning committee for
“Woman to Woman IV.”

John Green and Carol B. Stelling
are two UK physicians scheduled to
speak at the day-long seminar.

Gilbert Friedell, director of UK’s

mm pmfeqcnr who has done. com-
mittee work with Swift, said he is
impressed with Swift's ability and
believes his efforts are a move in the
right direction.

“I believe Dr. Swift has the confi-
dence of the faculty," he said. “It
was an inspiring administrative deci-
sion to select him, and Dr. Hemen-
way's decision to counter the past
trend of emphasis on research and fo-
cus attention on undergraduate edu-
cation studies was invisionary as
well."

Swift said there is an opportunity
to change current attitudes toward
scholarship because it's such a hot
topic at many of the country’s uni-
versities.

To be successful, a new approach
has to be “institutionalized and made
part of the culture. The conflict be-
tween (teaching and research) has to
end."

plant unit, air is filtered three times
to prevent outside air from reaching

“This is a major step for a safe
environment that is comfortable for
patients," Henslee-Downey said.

Henslee-Downey said she expects
the unit to run at full capacity at all
times.

Because of the long stays of some
patients, extra measures have been
taken to ensure their comfort.

Private baths, television sets,
VCRs, and stereo Systems are pro-
vided because ”people literally live

Library

privately raised by UK with $1 of
its own funds.

Several factors convinced NEH to
award the grant to UK.

“NEH saw that it was needed, the
chance for permanent improvement
was there and Toyota's donation
showed a positive headstart,” Pope
said.

The library has until July 1992 to
raise $2.25 million to receive
matching funds. Toyota’s recent 51
million donation has helped put that
goal within reach and was a key fac-
tor in receiving the grant.

“Toyota saw that the library is a
resource for the whole state," Pope
said. “They saw this as a way to im-
pact higher education."

The grant will be invested and the

interest will buy periodicals and
reading in the humanities said Di~
rector of Libraries Paul Willis.

The interest from the grant pro-
vides the library with a permanent
income, Pope said. This income
will help if the library is faced with
another budget freeze, like the one
in 1988.

"We had no money to buy books
during that period,” Pope said.

“It was a clear sign that we need-
ed to establish book endowments
here. With this endowment, we
will always have income to fall
back on.”

Funds raised will alleviate a
strain on library circulation caused
by additional humanities require-
ments under the University Studies
program, which undergraduates
must meet before graduating.

“People are waiting in line to get
the books they need,” Pope said.
“With this money, a dramatic im-
provement will be seen quickly."

you're so proud of. And that goes as
well for the people who get off on
this kind of misogynist trash.

Realm withius now to the tie»
lional town of . Twin Peaks,
where. nothing is quite what it
seems and everyone is out to
lunch.-' , ,

Food is still a central theme,
although this time cherry pie has
taken a back seatio bucklebcr-
rice. And halfofTwin Peaks’ in-
habitants {are “still playing life's
card game without picture cards.

No, no one ever came right out
and said who killed homecoming
queen Laura Palmer during Sun—
day night’s two-hour season pre-
miere of. ABC‘s truly bizarre
soap opera. . , .

But then no one has ever ac-
Cused “Twin Peaks” creators Da~
vid Lynch . and Mark Frost of
writing indeclarative sentences.

For-Peaks freaks. though, Sun-
day’s second season opener pro-
vided a host of substantial, if
sometimes incomprehensible,
clues to Palmer’s murderer.

But first things first.

No. pie-loving FBI agent Dale
Cooper is not dead, deSpite hav-
ing taken three slugs in last sca~
son’s cliffhanger ending from an
unknown assailant at point-blank
range

Yes. he was wearing a bullet~
proof vest. But it seems a bother-
some wood tick had caused
Cooper some discomfort and he
had hitched up his vest to get at
ll.

His unprotected abdomen was
hit, but this did not stop him
from springing out of his hospi-
tal bed to find Palmer’s killer.

It did cause him to see a vision
of a giant bathed in white light
who gave him three clues to the
cosmic goings-on in Twin Peaks.
One of the profound nuggets:
“There’s a man in a smiling
bag.”

You hate to see that.

The mill did indeed burn to the
ground. And if you listened to
the recently released cassette of
Cooper’s dictated ramblings to
his secretary, you would have al-
ready known that consummate
witch Catherine Manell and mys-
terious widow Josie Packard are
missing.

Most of the other wacko rcsi~
dents are in comns or the hospi-
tal.

Nadine Hurley survived her
suicide attempt but is comatose.
And the reason she always wears
that eye patch is because her hus—
band accidentally blinded her in
one eye during a hunting trip that
doubled as their secret honey-
moon.

Catherine's long-suffering hus~
band, Pete, suffered smoke inha-
lation during the sawmill blaze,
as did Shelly Johnson.

Her wifc~bcating jerk of a hus-
band, Loo, survived being shot,
but he’s in a coma, too, and may
be brain-damaged. Nothing new
in the latter development.

Okay, okay, back to Laura‘s
killer. We know now that on the
night of her death, Palmer and
co-worker Ronettc Pulaski even-
tually ended up blindfolded in an
orgy with Leo and Jacques Rc~
nault (who now is dead. too).

A mysmrious, longhaired
third man showed up at the sex—
fest and beat the blindfolded
girls. Roiicttc escaped. Laura. ob~
viously, didn‘t.

if you had read the X-rated
(make that NC—l7) “Secret Diary
of Laura Palmer“ written by
Lynch's 23-year-old daughter.
Jennifer, )ou also would have
known that BOB «— as Laura rc-
fers to him in her diary is
most likely the killer.

But true to form, the season
premiere of “Twin Peaks" gave
Viewers two things: beautiful pic-
tures and an utterly confining
script.

State must revise
the process for
choosing trustees

Politically, Lt. Gov. Brereton Jones scored a touchdown with
many last week when he called for the state legislature and ed-
ucation leaders to come up with a new process for selecting
trustees to state university boards. Jones said last week that the
current system allows a governor to appoint a trustee based on
how much money he or she raised for the gubernatorial cam-
paign or how many votes he or she delivered.

Jones wants to develop a system that would eliminate suspi-
cions of possible improprieties. That would be accomplished
by having a special council recommend three people for any
trustee vacancy at state universities and letting the governor
pick from those three.

This is an appropriate step and one that should have been im—
plemented years ago. To cite an example of what can go wrong
with the current process, a person need only examine the politi-
cal undertones of UK’s search for a president, which ended last
month. The presidential search was marred by accusations that
Gov. Wallace Wilkinson had stacked the UK board with pro-
Wilkinson trustees who voted for Charles Wethington, a long-
time friend of the governor.

Jones’ criticism must not be taken at face value. His relation-
ship with Wilkinson is tepid at best and he will likely challenge
Wilkinson’s wife, Martha, in next year’s gubernatorial race.
His call for a new process in an obvious slap in the face to Wil-
kinson. Better still, i
