In an effort to encourage the Mr
ing of more black faculty, the Uni-
versity has given more than
$500,000 in the last two years to
depanments for minority profes-
sors‘ first-year salaries.

Since the special fund in the bud-
get of the UK Office of the Presi-
dent was established in 1988-89,
$515,000 has been spent on the in-
centive program, said Mary Burg,
assistant to the chancellor for the
Lexington Campus. Around
$200,000 has been set aside for
new minority faculty’s first-year
salaries for next year, said Joan
McCauley, assistant vice president
for planning and budget.

In an effort to combat low mi-
nority enrollment in The Graduate
School, UK has implemented a na-
tionwide recruiting program.

The program’s goal is to build
closer relationships between UK
and historically black colleges and
universities (HBCUs) that choose

The program is just one of many
examples of the concerted initia-
tive UK is taking to recruit and re-
tain minority faculty. In a signifi-
cant movement nationwide,
colleges are taking similar action
to diversify their campuses.

Already UK is showing the
fruits of that effort, with the hiring
of 10 new black faculty last year,
an increase of 55 percent.

to participate, said Daniel Reedy,
dean of The Graduate School.

Historically black schools “have
held a long-standing tradition of
sending their students on to gradu-
ate and professional school — it’s
a way to break social and econom-
ic barriers," Reedy said.

ship with faculty members at the

There are 97 black students in
UK‘s graduate program out of a to-
tal enrollment of 4,500. This figure
represents 3.4 percent of the gradu-
ate school’s population, Reedy
said.

Nationwide, blacks account for 6
percent of the total graduate school
population.

Although UK’s figure is consid—

erably lower than the national aver-
age, Reedy said it is a 14 percent
increase over fall 1989 enrollment.
Reedy said the increase was a di-
rect result of UK’s new recmiting
efforts.

The numbers, however, are still
too low in all academic areas —
including UK undergraduates and
faculty, Reedy said.

There are 772 black students en-

Weather expected
to keep turnout low

By CAROLINE SHIVELY
Staff Writer

The weather is expected to have
an effect on the voter turnout for
Student Government Association
elections, said Greg Watkins, Elec-
tion Board chairman.

“If it’s going to rain ldon’t see
that the turnout will be too good,”
Watkins said.

Bad weather
also could affect
the kind of voter
that comes to the
polls. If it does
rain, as forecast-
ed, “the people
that vote will be
the people who
are the hard sup—
porters of the
candidate," he
said.

Less voters
could also have
an impact on the election results.
“It’s going to be a real close race,”
Watkins said. “If the weather is bad,
there will be less of a turnout and
the margin of victory will be small—
er."

There will be 10 polling places on
main campus and two on the Lex-
ington Community College Cam-
pus.
Polling locations were added at
LCC East and the College of Educa-
tion. SGA presidential candidate
Keith Clark is from LCC. Speech
pathology junior Christa Collins,
also running for president, is a Col-
lege of Education senator.

“I think (the new polling places)
would help those particular candi-
dates,“ Watkins said. “But it will
help voter turnout because as soon
as they come out of classes, boom.
there it is."

Computerized voting machines
will replace older machines and are
expected to speed up the voting pro-
cess because votes will be tallied by
a computer instead of by hand, Wat-
kins said.

“lt will be more convenient for
everyone," said Jason Vandiver, last
year's Election Board president.
“We will find out faster and it will
be a lot more relia-
ble."

Election results
will be reported
tomorrow night at
9 in the Student
Center Free
Speech Area, two
hours after the last
poll closes.

“Last year it
took forever and a
day," Vandiver
said.

Speed and accu-
racy are not the
only benefits of the new polling ma-
chines. “These machines are tam-
per-proof," Watkins said. “You
can't misread anything. (Acting)

Students may vote for candidates
for president, vice president and

ticular college representatives at the
following polling locations:

Shaw focuses talk
on Creason, war

By KIP BOWMAR
Senior Staff Writer

Iraqi President Saddam Hussein
would have avoided making crucial
mistakes by talking to legendary
Kentucky journalist Joe Creason.
Cable News Network anchor Ber-
nard Shaw said last night.

Delivering the 14th annual Joe
Creason lecture on campus, Shaw
covered many topics ~ but cen-
tered his speech on Creason, a pop-
ular writer for the Louisvrlle Couri-
cr-Journal until his death in 1974 —
and the gulf crisxs.

“Metaphorically, I say to you la—
dies and gentlemen Saddam Husse-
in's gravest mistake was havmg
never met, having never talked wrth
Joe Creason," Shaw said to a crowd
of more than l,500 people at the
Otis A. Singletary Center for the
Arts.

Shaw talked about how Hussein
could have learned about the will of
the American people by talking and
walking with Creason (who Shaw
called “Dr. Nuance") in a small
town.

“A few minutes with Dr. Nuance
and Saddam would have learned the
ways of American polich and
American journalism,“ Shaw said.
“If he (Hussein) had received truth-
ful information about the people of
the United States, the people and
the president, he would have known
better than to stay and fight."

Shaw said that Creason could
have explained to Hussein not to
take dissent as a sign of weakness.

He said one of Hussein‘s prob-
lems was nearly all of his informa-
tion of the West was second hand
and the men around him were afraid
to tell him when he was wrong.

Shaw also talked about what the

ence I will help further the needs of
the individual students. As a ticket
of Ramanathan. Pepper, Bates, Nor~
ton and Vandiver, we have 12 com-
bined years of college experience,
which will provide a new direction
for Student Government.

Jeremy Bates is a candidate for

lege of Agriculture senator to pro-
vide a strong voice in campus issues
nd to foster relations between the

1 will strive to acquire a more prom-
inent place for the college in the
University of community.

ways remain my first priority.

The College of Engineering was
founded many years ago on the
principle of advancing technology
and academic achievement.

Not only the structure of this col-

ment. A commitment that will con-~
tinue to grow in a new direction. As
a senator, I will be responsive to-
wards this development and work
for progress and change.

Cynthia
Isbell

The success of an organization
lies within the enthusiasm and ded-
ication of the people within that or-
ganization.

Likewise, the representative of a
large number of people must also
exemplify those traits.

I am seeking the office of Col-
lege of Ans & Sciences senator,
because I have had great success
and enjoyment from past involve-
ment within student government
organizations.

Also. I am very excited about
SGA’s future, and I would like to a
part of it.

Cynthia Isbell is a candidate for
College of Arts & Sciences senator.

Roger
Batsel

My experience as chairman of
the Student Government Associa-
tion Campus Health and Safety
Committee gives tne a unique per-
spective on campus safety prob-
lems.

By managing the Student Escort
program. I have developed a cam-
pus safety survey in order to pin-
point problem areas.

This is just one reason Cranston,
Porter, Batsel, Jaeger, Elhenicky
means “experience and diversity in
action."

Roger Batsel is a candidate for
senator at large

Derby
Newman

I am deeply concerned about the
needs of students in the College of
Education. it is my goal to provide
students with a representative who
will work endlessly at providing
them with a voice that will be heard
in not only student government but
in the University community as
well.

My intention is to work closely
with education students and the ad-
ministration of the college to im-
prove communications between the
two in hopes of establishing a solid
relationship and let their concerns
be my concerns.

I offer three years of experience,
my dedication to the students and
my sincere interest in being a sound
voice for the students.

As College of Education senator I
will be diligent and responsive to
student needs.

Derby Newman is a candidate for
College ofEducation senator.

Kevin
Park

Somewhere along the line of
SGA, senators have forgotten that
they represent the students.

This is why I want to become a
voice for the College of Arts & Sci-
ences in the Student Government
Association Senate, as well as the
University Senate and be as accom-
modating as possible to their wants
and needs.

Kevin Park is a candidate for
College ofArts & Sciences senator.

Jill
Cranston

As a freshman senator, I take a
keen interest in student concems. I
understand the problems associated
with class registration and will work
to develop a program that would en-
able students to register by phone
with direct access to the computers.
This is one reason why the ticket of
Cranston, Porter, Batsel, Jaeger and
Elhenicky means “experience and
diversity in action."

Jill Cranston is a candidate for
Senator at Large.

James
Stover

I have decided to run for College
of Business & Economics senator
for a number of reasons. but, main-
ly, to get involved. I feel that the
best way I can get involved, not
only in SGA but also with faculty
and administration, is by running
for this office.

James Stover is a candidate for
College of Business & Economics
senator.

Stephen
Strong

It is said that there is strength in
numbers. I believe that the same ap-
plies to experience. As a student for
the past four years, I have seen
many problems arise and l have my
own ideas for their solution. Now is
the time for the “Strong" choice.

Stephen L. Strong is a candidate
for College of Communication sena-
tor.

Sean
Sympson

Being a transfer student to the
University, I bring with me a vast
assortment of ideas. At my school I
was active in student government
and bring that experience with me

UK. One goal I have is to help bet-
ter integrate personal computers in
the communication curriculum. If
chosen, I will try to better represent
the College of Communications in
the UK community.

Sean M. Sympson is a candidate
for College of Communications sen-
ator.

Candy

The College of Fine Ans needs a
strong representative to voice their
opinions to the administration, fa-

open mind, I am the person that can
meet these needs.

(‘andy Smith is a candidate for
College of Fine Arts senator.

Jay In gle

All college senators not only
serve on the student senate, but also
on the University Senate as the only
student voice in this faculty domi-
nated body.

I would like to take students' ide-
as to both of these governing bodies
and make sure that UK remains an
institution for students.

Jay Ingle is a candidate for Col-
lege of Arts & Sciences senator.

Anne Jae ger

My experience as a Special Edu—
cation major and my involvement in
SCEC, SGA Handicapped Concerns
Committee and the Student Devel-
opment Council has strengthened
my commitment toward handi-
capped student service improve-
ment These are to make (1) handi-
capped sports seating equally and
easily available, and (2) campus
buildings more accessible. This is
one reason why —Cranston, Porter,
Batsel, Jaeger and Elhenicky means
“experience and diversity in ac-
tion!“

Anne Jaeger is a candidate for
Senator at Large.

Stephen Keller

I desire the position of Senator at
Large because I have the ability to
create positive changes in the lives
of students in the University com-
munity. An admirable senator is one
who is sensitive to all viewpoints
from all students; thus having a
keen student awareness. From my
involvement with student govem-
ment since last August, I have de-
veloped Such an awareness. Re-
member, with Stephen Keller as
your senator, you will have no emp-
ty promises.

Stephen C. Keller II is a candi-
date for Senator at Large.

David
McDowell

The office of UK Student Gov-
ernment Association senator is one
of great responsibility. I am seeking

UK SGA. When elected I plan to
work toward reaching out to the stu-
dents to let them know SGA is here
for them.

Dedication to students is the best
quality a senator can have. Working
to improve the things that count to
you! Two projects I plan to pursue
are the extension of student billings
hours and terminals during the first
three weeks of school, and to regain
the students privilege to receive le-
gitimate excuses for health care.
These are just two more reasons
why Cranston, Porter, Batsel, Jeager
and Elhenicky means “experience
and diversity in action.“

Christopher A. Porter is a candi-
date for Senator at Large.

goals into our stagnate student gov-
ernment.

E '1 TE R S

Davenport hard worker

I would like to ask the student
body to consider Lea Ann Daven-
port and her running mates when
going to the polls this week.

After just two years at UK. Dav-
enport has complied one of the most
impressive resumes on campus.

She has spent two years repre-
senting her fellow students as a sen-
ator and has served on four commit-
tees. chairing one of them.
Davenport has also been very active
with her social sorority.

She has served on numerous com.
mittees and has been rewarded by
her peers for her efforts.

In addition to her extra-curricular
activities, Davenport has been able
to compile an exceptional scholastic
record that few students can match.

Bit I am not suggesting that you
vote for Davenport strictly on her
past performance.

Rather I suggest that you vote for
her strong work ethic, her openness
to new ideas and opinions and her
dedication to the student body and
the campus.

Students should be a part of the Crosbie—Sparks administration

 

By Scott Damron

 

“Would you buy it again?" is a
question often asked of consumers.

As a student. would you buy it
again? What I mean by “it” is the
University of Kentucky — your ed-
ucation, social involvement, living
conditions, and experiences.

The reason I pose this question is
that students are consumers of the
University of Kentucky, and within
the answer to this inquiry lies great-
er truths which need be uncovered.

Through the answer we could be—
gin to decipher areas of improve-
ment for the University and discov—
er whether the alumni who leave
our halls are loyal alumni, sensitive
to the University's needs and inter-
ests.

Would you give $35 for a book to
the library upon graduation or
$350,000 in future years?

This question is of crucial impor—
tance.

A component of the purchasing

process in which we involve our-
selves as students at the University
of Kentucky is labeled “the Student
Government Association."

In March of each year, we hear
the SGA presidential candidates re-

and improvement.

Crosbie-Sparks campaign full of

 

By Jay Ingle

 

I believe, as much as anyone, in a
fair and positive campaign for Stu-
dent Government Association elec-
tions, but one presidential ticket has
overstepped the bounds of honesty
and integrity in its campaign.

I cannot imagine being more of-
fended by a student campaign’s bla—
tant misrepresentation and hypocri-
sy after watching Scott Crosbie and
Keith Sparks vie for the top two
SGA offices.

The two are running a very nega-
tive campaign, stressing an anti-
establishment approach. Their cam-
paign seems to be a campaign
against SGA President Sean Loh-
man, rather than one that proves
that they are more qualified candi-
dates than Christa Collins, Keith

Clark or Byl Hensley.

Clark and Sparks ask students to
look at what SGA has done over the
last two years, a question which re-
lates in no direct way to any of the
candidates.

Collins and Clark have both
served as SGA senators, but neither
has had the opportunity or position
to influence the organization in a
role such as president. Crosbie and
Sparks have merely used the fad of
criticizing Lohman as a tool for
popularity. These two need to step
back and realize who their competi-
tion really is.

With this strong anti-SGA ap-
proach, it seems quite odd that it
has been vehemently argued that
Keith Sparks has been influential as
SGA's Governmental Affairs chair-
man.

Sure it would have been hard to

test to the fact that he has not
attended one Executive Branch
meeting all year.

He also claims to have worked
with the Board of Student Body
Presidents, but according to the
minutes, the chairman of that board
and the Kernel reporter responsrble
for covering these meetings, Sparks
has continued his lack of responsi-
bility there by not attending one
meeting. For a candidate so op-
posed to SGA, why does Sparks un-
foundedly claim his role in SGA as
influential?

Scott Crosbie also argues that, as
an outsider, he will not be a part of
any “petty office politics.” This
could not be further from the truth.

The nature of his campaign has

 

Crosbie is someone who truly cares about the issues
the University is facing he is someone who has the
determination and inspiration to struggle with the
University’s problems and emerge victorious.

an individual will distinguish him
or herself as something different.
Someone who should be notes and
listened to.

Scott Crosbie is this candidate.

Those who have had the opportu-
nity to converse with Scott know
that he is a genuine person.

Someone who truly cares about
the issues the University is facing,
but more importantly, he is some-
one who has the determination and
inspiration to struggle with the Uni-
versity’s problems and emerge vic-
torious.

His running mate, Keith Sparks,
is of equal caliber.

As the president and vice presi-
dent of student government, great
things are in store for the University
of Kentucky.

Along similar lines the Senate

race has heavy implications on our
purchasing process. Who should we
look to for leadership?

I believe that from a qualified
field of candidates, there are man
individuals worthy to hold Senate
positions.

Among this group is Joey Smith,
Kary VanArsdale, David McDow-
ell, and Amy Adams. They are en-
thusiastic to help the University
move in a new direction and assist
the Crosbie-Sparks team. I believe
they should be given serious con-
sideration.

As a responsible student, take the
time to investigate the issues. Call
the candidates on the phone.

Put them on the spot, and decide
for yourself who is worthy of elec-
tion into the Student Government
Association.

With this strong anti-SGA approach. it seems quite
odd that it has been vehemently argued that Keith
Sparks has been influential as SGA’s Governmental

Affairs chairman.

has not only supported senate tick
ets, but has played a primary role in
forming them. Nine of his 25 steer-
ing committee members are running
for Senate seats.

These political ties are forming
the petty politics of next year‘s
SGA, regardless of who is presi‘
dent. 'lhese nine represent eight
greek organizations, and it would
not surprise me if this was more
than just coincidence. What kind of
debt will he owe those people once
elected?

When Scott Crosbie was asked.

mittee debate, what quality estab-
lishes him as best for the job, (‘ross
bte answered, “Initiative."

The only initiative Crosbie seems
to have shown is that of seeking a
title to add to his resume. Last year.
he and Sparks both ran unsuccess-
tally for senator at large. Crosbie
then signed up for an SGA commit-
tee and was placed with Communi-
i\ Affairs, a very active committee.

Scott Crosbie cares enough about

SGA to want to be its leader, It
