Tours draw students to UK
More than just a guide: With more than 250 applicants for 20 positions,
job as student admission representative competitive and challenging
By Jesse Lebus
STAFF WRlliR
Every day. groups of high
school seniors and their par
ents wander UK's campus.
They look at dorm rooms. com-
puter labs. libraries and sports
facilities. They ask about food
services. school history. and
without a doubt. they ask
about basketball tickets.
Here to answer those ques-
tions and provide campus
tours are UK's student admis-
sion representatives. The op-
portunity to showcase UK to
prospective students is a very
coveted position. explained
Todd Byrd. director of Visitor
Services.
Out of approximately 250
applications. only 20 students
were chosen. Byrd said.
Byrd said that the job is
highly selective because of the
important role that representa
tives play in attracting new
students.
“Visiting a college campus
is the most vital step in picking
a school." he explained.
After being hired. student
representatives must attend a
three-day. 40-hour training ses-
sion. Because giving campus
tours is only part of their job.
the representatives must be-
come fluent in all aspects of the
university and the admissions
process. Byrd said.
Representatives must
learn the entire campus map.
the history of the school. pub-
lic relations statistics and Visi-
tor Center management.
Tarah Hawkins. 3 commu-
nications junior. was almost
overwhelmed by her training
experience.
W
“I had no idea that the uni-
versity was so interesting and
complex. It‘s like a giant corpo
ration." she said.
Another facet of working
as a student admissions repre-
sentative is to host information
sessions with individual fami»
lies. Byrd said. During these
sessions representatives (lis-
cuss admissions issues. hous-
ing. the cost of attendance and
scholarships and loans.
The Visitor Center has
seen a 25 percent increase in
visiting students over the past
semester. Byrd said. This
means about 3000 high school
seniors from 47 states visited
campus between August and
December last year. When par-
ents are included. the numbers
are staggering. Byrd added.
Despite the workload. rep-
resentatives said that they are
excited to share the university
with potential students.
"Being a Student Admis—
sions Representative is a great
experience." Hawkins said. “i
help high school seniors make
one ofthe most important deci»
sions of their lives as well as
give back to the universtty."
Interested?
Students wishing to be
student admission repre-
sentatives must be nomi-
nated by a faculty or staff
member. Applications will
be available in late
February. Students must
have 30 credit hours and
be a UK student to apply.
Officials doubt scholarship’s future
Appalachia: Dwindling coal, logging revenue
leads to smaller than expected endowment
ASSOCIATED PRESS
As its mining income van-
ishes. a popular scholarship
program for Appalachian stu—
dents is struggling to survive
at UK. Robinson scholarships
—— renewable. allexpenses-paid
awards ~~ help firstgeneration
college students from eastern
Kentucky. Money for the pro-
gram. started five years ago.
comes mostly from coal mining
and also from logging on one
third of the 15.000-acre Robin-
son Forest that UK owns in
Knott. Perry and Breathitt
counties.
Those revenues have dwin-
dled. as a result of low coal
prices and a lower-thanexpect-
ed supply of coal leading to a
smaller endowment than ex-
pected. Meanwhile. investment
income or. the endowment also
has been lower than projected.
Officials don't think their cur-
rent endowment of $15.4 mil-
lion will be enough to handle
the number of students they
want the program to cover.
As a result. UK has perma
nently scaled back the scholar-
ship program. and officials say
its relatively modest endow-
ment may not allow it to con-
tinue past this decade.
For current Robinson
Scholars. such as freshman
Penelope Spradlin. the pro-
gram has been crucial.
Spradlin. 18. of Prestonsburg.
said she could not have attend-
ed UK without her scholarship.
“It really helps that they
recognize the capabilities of all
the people from eastern Ken-
Th
tucky." she said. “My parents
are disabled. and that makes it
harder. They couldn't just give
us money. so it really helped
that I got the scholarship."
Freshman Neomia Hagans.
19. of Hindman. said the schol—
arship lets her attend classes
without having to work full
time to pay for tuition and oth-
er costs.
"I don't know if my suc-
cess level would have been the
same" without the scholarship.
she said.
Spradlin and Hagans are
members of the first class of
Robinson Scholars to begin col-
lege. Ofthe 162 eighth-graders

ars each year from among

29 eastern Kentucky counties
Students are chosen based on
their academic potential. fami-
ly income. essays and inter-
views. Their parents cannot
have earned a college degree.
Overall. 394 students have
been promised an all-expenses-
paid scholarship to UK an
award valued at 311.100. But
with an endowment of $15.4
million and annual scholar-
ship costs estimated to rise to
as much as $3 million. the fund
is likely to be out of money by
2010 unless UK secures more
revenue or there is an increase
in investment earnings. said
Jack Blanton. senior Vice pres
ident for administration.
“It would be our objective
to have one scholar from each
county. but whether we can
sustain that is hard to say. it is
still a sort of peSSimistic sce-

Women's commission
identifies problems
By Alonso Soto J_oya
STAFF WRITER
At their first meeting of
the new year. members of the
President‘s Commission on
Women worked toward identi-
fying the areas that the corn-
mission will focus on.
The group met for two
hours Friday afternoon and
briefly discussed internal or
ganizational issues before
moving on to discuss the two
major issues concerning
women on campus today:
Women's institutional climate
and employment at UK.
Plans for improving these
two issues. such as fuller insti-
tutional recognition of women
and changes to the existing
healthcare benefits for female
university employees and stu-
dents were discussed.
Another goal discussed by
the commission was to in-
crease its participation in fo—
rums held by UK.
“Its important for the uni-
versity community to know
we are there." said Carolyn
Bratt. chairwoman of the com-
mission.
Bratt said the commission
would meet monthly with
President Lee Todd to talk in-
formally about the commis-
sion‘s bimonthly meetings.
Student participation was
another point discussed dur-
ing the meeting.
The three student mem-
bers are planning to meet
weekly with student represen-
tatives from campus to discuss
issues in order to boost stu-
dent interaction with the com-
mission.
Sara Sahni. one of the stu-
dent commission members, is
optimistic about the commis-
sion and the commitment
shown by Todd. but said there
are many students at UK that
don‘t know what the commis-
sion can achieve.
“It's kind of hard to insti-
gate their involvement. but for
the most part they are really
exited." she said. “A lot of peo-
ple are not aware of what we
could have and achieve with
this commission.“

that UK has had a drop in the
retention of minority faculty

years. Kraemer said the re-

If someone is looking for a
pillowcase hand embroidered
in Zimbabwe. Lexington may
be the place to look.
Transformed from a Vict0<
rian house into a boutique.
Linens Limited has something
a little more special and unique
than ordinary bed and bath
products.
“I love the different per-
spective the store gives me,"
said Nancy Iliff. the store‘s
owner.
lliff and Bruce Bryant. the
store's manager. opened Linens
Limited nine years ago when
they noticed that Lexington did
not have a specialty linen store.
Iliff had been an antique dealer
for close to 30 years and jumped
at the chance to change careers.
Bryant had been working
at a linens department store but
when it closed. he was more
than happy to help start the
new boutique.
“It is great to be able to find
new and different things."
Bryant said of his favorite thing
to look for 1.020 thread count
sheets.
Prior to running Linens
Limited together. Iliff and
Bryant knew and worked with
each other. Even though start-
ing a business can be harrow-
ing. they enjoy working togeth-
er.
“We've gotten lots of grey
hair together.“ Iliff said.
To find the unique items to
sell requires some footwork.
Iliff and Bryant travel to New
York four times a year in order
to keep up with new things to
stock the shop.
“It‘s a good way to stay on
the cutting edge as well as a
nice diversion." lliff said.
While the shop may look
like an ordinary white house.
Linens Limited offers extraor-
dinary treasures.
The two hope to stay in this
area and plan on continuing to
sell their unique products.
Bryant likes the area be-
cause of the great atmosphere
created by the other shops and
for boutiques.“ Bryant said.
Since the area is close to
campus. Bryant and Iliff often
sell to college students.
Bryant said they see college
students frequent the store to
buy soap and bath products.
Other popular items include
linens that can be mono-
grammed.
"The candles. bath supplies
and monogrammed items make
nice gifts." Bryant said.

this year‘s addition of the Best Ani-

Beauty and the Beast will remain the
only film nominated for such a high
honor.
Recently. the film was released
around the country at giant IMAX
theaters. These theaters measure
around six stories wide by eight sto-
ries tall. a size that makes for an ex-
tremely clear picture.
Because of these clear pictures.
the makers of Beauty and the Beast
had to touch up a few mistakes and
blemishes in the film so they would-
n't be blatantly obvious. While they
were doing this. they added a scene
that was excised from the original
film. a new musical number that
shows the enchanted items getting
ready to create a romantic atmos-
phere for Belle and the Beast‘s date.

sual-overload.
While the film is classic Disney.
it‘s the same film that came out in
1991. And it should be. Can you
imagine trying to deal with 200 chil-
dren. all outraged at a movie that
wasn‘t the same? The problem re-
sides in the ticket prices. which are
inflated to $10.75. an expense obvi-
ously intended to match the size of
the screen.
I suppose the point is that. while
the film is classic. $10.75 is too
much for a movie that you proba-
bly have at home.
The other point I need to
address is a plea for
writers. I'm sure none
of you want to read a
story by Sarah Zopfi
or myself every day.
More ideas always
make the page more
interesting.
I know someone
this year will complain
about the Scene section
having too much estro-
gen. but we love boys.
the more the merrier.
In essence.
we extend
our most
heartfelt invitations to you all to
come and grace our pages with your
words. You‘ll meet people. get free
stufi" and even learn something.
If you don‘t want to write. you
can help out. too. Know somebody
that‘s starting up a band? Know
someone who works in the great
land of Hollywood that would love to
be interviewed? If so. or if you have
any complaints. e-mail or call us.
Have a wonderful semester. I
hope we entertain you.
