The Fayette County Board of Health could not reach a
decision to approve UK‘s request to build an incinerator
for hazardom and radiological waste.

The incinerator, which is to be built at Spindletop
Farm on Iron Works Pike, will be used to dispose of
hazardom materials generated at the University‘s main
campm. The hazardots materials include low-level rar
dioactive substances such as Tritium and Carbon H

The board. meeting Monday night at the liexmgton
Fayette County Health Department on Newtown Pike.
postponed the decision after hearing comments from
several University faculty members

The issue will be taken up again at a public hearing at
the next board meeting at 5:30 pm March 12

By that time. L'K's purchasing office will be taking
bids on the construction oi the incinerator "We don't
anticipate putting out the proposal until the second
week of March at the earliest possible date said Tom
Fields. director of purchasing at l'K ‘ The construction
of the incinerator will be handled through competitive
negotiation ‘

Proposals for the construction of the incinerator will
be sent to firms chosen from a predetermined list of
companies that qualify for that type of work The firms
will then have to substantiate that they quality and have
the ability to complete the project. Fields said

“Congress now mandates we find our own disposal
method by 1986.“ Leonard Wilson. director of [K
Human Safety and Environmental Health. said

Chemical waste now is stored at Spindletop in a stor
age budding prior to shipment to Alabama All radioacr
tive isotopes are shipped to Washington state

“The hazardous material waste that we generate is

extremely small and has gone to an environmental Site
in the state of Alabama. Wilson said in an earlier in
terview “All the radi ilogical waste in the past several
years has gone to the state of Washington to a Nuclear

She also said that besides those

Another factor contributing to an

Conservativism returns to campus
after high activism during the ’608

By FRAN STEWART
Staff Writer

In the past two decades. Jackie Bondurant has
watched UK change from conservative to its most radi-
cal point in the late '605 back to conservative again.

Bondurant. an information specialist and a graduate
student in English. has worked for the UK Information
Services since 1964. “UK has traditionally been a very
conservative campus in trench and fashions." she said.
“We have our own traditions. But then something will
come along like the student uprisings of the late 19605. “

Because Kentucky is part of the Bible Belt and has a
rich Southern tradition. UK would never “have the
same environment as at Berkeley (University of Cali-
fornia) or even at Yale tUniversityL“ she said. “The
whole state is conservative.“

The ‘605 were very generous to colleges. Bondurant
said. with much money being earmarked for graduate
student education. College graduates also were in great
demand in the business world at that time.

“Students were not worried about their own individual
futures.“ she said, “Because they weren‘t so concerned
about their own futures. some students became involved
in the future of the country and this particular (Viet-
namt war "

According to Bondurant. the main reason for the cam-
pus problems of the late ‘605 and early ‘705 stemmed
from a lack of communication between students and the
administration. ”The students didn't want to listen to
the voice of authority. the administration. and they 1. the
students) were causing problems.“ she said.

It was a very frustrating time for the administration.
she added.

After Bondurant began working at the information of-
fice. she said she lost touch with the student body. “So
it was very frustrating and shocking to me to realize
there was so little communication between the adminis-
tration and the students." she said.

Bondurant said she was horrified when she heard
about the tear-bombing at the Student Center. “It was
like it was a war, Knowing both parties. the administra-
tion and the student body. I couldn't understand how
this could happen It really bothered me when it came
to my school.“

According to Bondurant. many students. particularly
seniors and graduate students. were adamant about the
issues of the day. but then there was another group
whose actions seemed to directly contrast the actions of
the rebellious students

“It wasn't like everyone on campus was going around
in torn jeans. bare feet and long. stringy hair." she
said "The fraternities and sororities still went ahead
and did their own thing. Some students were still trying
to go to class and dressed normal It was a really split
campus "

Bondurant said the rebellion lasted for a couple of
Spring semesters and then it died down. but the effects
carried on for many years later. “We got very soctal—
minded in terms of how we could help our fellowman."
she said

This new soctal awareness was reflected in right to
privacy laws. student codes and the ombudsman. The
student uprisings also brought about an increase in all
kinds of student concerns and interests. she said.

Robert G Zumwinkle. vice chancellor for student af-
fairs. said: “The major change in administrative policy
affecting students directly was the adoption of the stu-
dent code The L'niverstty put down in writing the rights
and responsibilities of students. "

Much student and faculty input went into the student
code document. According to Zumwinkle. who came to
the L'niversny in 1970. UK was one of the first institu-
tions to develop a student code of conduct.

Bondurant said people began to question "not only
why we had to go to war but why we had to sign our
names five times to register or why we had to be in the
dorms by 11 1p m ._

“Then the ones having the least involvement in the
upristng began to question their own involvements. their
own college life.‘~ she said.

According to Bondurant. the membership in fraterni-
ties and sororities began to drop because students ques-
tioned everything that was an established organization.
“Which is good." she said, “In thinking back. a lot of
good came out of that period "

It was a tough lesson to learn. she said. “but it opened
up communication between administration and stu-
dentSi Now practically every college has committees
that students can serve on."

The students of today are the ones benefiting from the
actions of the late ‘605. Bondurant said. Students during
the uprisings did not get immediate satisfaction. “We
went from a surge of liberalism and that has settled
back into our normal role.” she said.

"President (Otis A» Singletary is really open with
students." Bondurant said. As a result of the student-ad-
ministration problems. committees are now set up on
campus so students can be on them

“Student involvement is very much wanted on this
campus." she said “Students may not take advantage
of it but the groundwork is already there and the lines
are already established for when students need it. there
is a willingness on the part of the faculty and adminis-
tration to listen to students "

According to Zumw‘inkle. tn the early 'TOs. L'K devel-
oped a "whole series of avenues for student input into
policy-making

"They haven't worked as well. I think largely because
students haven't taken advantage of them.” he said
“Students are appotnted. but they don't make the kind
of contribution we'd like them to make “

The student code and the committees for student
input have not been the only areas of improvement for
students Zumw'inkle said in the past few years there
also has been a significant increase in student represeti
tation on the l'niversity' Senate and mayor changes in
campus recreational facilities

“I give a lot of credit to Dr Ztimwitikle." she said
”He bent over backward to make sure the students are
not forgotten and they 're a part of policy~making "

Not only has the administrative attitude toward stu-
dents changed over the years. but. according to Bondu-
rant. the attitude of the students themselves has
changed The negattvism of the late-'60s early-'70s peri-
od grew into a conservatism in students “Students now
are more like when I was in school back in the early
60s.‘ she said

"I meet a lot of students and I'm continually amazed
at their maturity and p0ise and ability to cope." she
said "Students are really concerned about their fu-
tures Students are anxtous to meet faculty. admmistra-
tion. alumni so that they can make contacts, and get ex-
periences that will lead to job opportunities "

This desire to prepare themselves for the future car-
ries over in many other areas as well “Most students I
come in contact with have at least one Job or maybe
two. trying to put themselves through school "

Bondurant said t'K students of today are more se-
rious and competitive iii terms ol grades They know
what is required of them for their careers

"Because of the economy and because parents are
having to sacrifice more to send their kids to college.
students have taken school more seriously." she said
Students are now more interested in getting school over
with as soon as possible and getting on Wllh their lives

“Everybody"s having to take on more responsibility."
she said "Students know they have basic responsibility
for getting the best grades they can to hopefully get the
best Job they can But in the meantime they have time
for basketball games and parties "

According to Bondurant. students currently seem
more interested in the L'niversity and traditions "In the
60s iil‘ddlllOllt was not the "in‘ thing Traditions illome-
coming the Kenna htan yearbook. the Kentucky Kernel
newspaper really suffered "

Bondurant said students were interested iti reestab-
lishing traditions. which was evident in "the fact that
students stand in line to get basketball tickets and paint
theirt’aces "

"Students are more balanced atid more mature than
when l was in school.“ she said "We didn‘t have to Jug-
gle all those things Students really are organized and
pretty much know what they want to do in their lives
Students now are more well-rounded "

be seen as the "end of an age of in-

for our “peacekeeping efforts."

Garkovich said a common attitude
is "give LB a little bit of time and
things will get better Our general
tendency is inertia

The current soctal problems also
are not student oriented like the

role in Vietnam were. she said

Clay agreed that the absence of
the draft has helped lessen student
activism. “There is no more draft.

was then,"

Katfish hopes to qualify for Olympic trials

By ( ()\'(‘ E P( l()\' l l-‘ DEZM. \
Senior Staff Writer

L'K swimmer Jeff Bush said he
tried something different in one of
the three events he swam. following
a recent home meet against Eastern
Kentucky Saturday

"I've been trying all season to go
otit the first 100 lyardst as fast as I
could." the co-captain said of his
200»_vard freestyle strategy. “I decid-
ed to try to go out lstarti a little
slower and come back ifinishi a lot
faster "

The result was the same as he
gradually pulled away from the rest
of the field to win by more than one
body length With a time of l '44 02

Bush. however. has swum the
event much faster. as much as four
seconds faster. for it is one of his
tune l'K swimming records

His most recent record-breaking
swim was in L'K's home meet
against Ohio University two weeks
ago The event was the myard in-
dmdual medley. which requires the
swimmer to utilize four different
strokes

In the final loo-yard. the account;
iiig senior fought off a strong chal-
lenge from teammate and former

record holder Dave Phillips to earn
the victory with a time of 4 0869
The previous record was 4 : 08.88

“My strategy was to get out as
fast as i could in my first two
strokes and try to hold on in the
breaststroke. and then sprint out
with the freestyle." Bush said “My
weakest stroke is the breaststroke.
and that's where he lphllllpsl was
catching me the most during the
racei." he said “I didn't look be-
hind me but i knew he was catching
me because he's a lot better breasts
troker than I am.

“That was the first time l com.
peted in this event since being at
UK. He (Phillips) congratulated me
He said. ‘Good swim ‘ It's a rivalry
to get your name up on the board "

The “board“ refers to a list ot
events and the names of UK record
holders. and is posted on the wall by
the pool in Memorial Coliseum

Bush emphasized. though. that the
teammate rivalry for the val‘Slly re
cord helps the team members.

“This really benefits the team so
that everyone could improve their
times by having something to shoot
for “

Bush‘s competitiveness doesn't ln‘
terfere with his personality. which

makes him easy to like His lean but
muscular 6--.foot2 160pound frame
aids him in meeting the demands of
swimming

Before committing completely to
swimming at age 12. Bush partiCi-
pated in other sports

"My dad was a program director
at the YMCA." he said. “I played
every sport there was to play except
tor football I played mainly basket
ball. a little soccer and baseball."

lie was later cut from his junior
high basketball team in the eighth
grade

“That was part of the reason I de-
cided to go into swimming.“ he said
grinning "As it turned out. I proba~
bly' wouldn‘t have been tall enough
to play in college "

Maybe not tall enough for basket-
ball. but fast enough for swimming.

Last summer. while representing
the Dynamo Swimming Club in the
Southeast Region of the AAL’ compe-
tition. Bush‘s time in the 20(Hree-
style ‘whlt‘ll he won) and ZOO-back-
stroke was fast enough to have
originally earned him a spot to qual-
ity for the 1984 Olympic Trials in [n-
dianapolis. Ind in June

“it was a thrilling and satisfying
win." he said “This was probably

the fastest region in the country
The people that finished in the top so
in the region also qualified for the
trials "

The AAL' committee. however.
made some rule changes after the
1983 summer competition This re
sulted in Bush having to match the
time of his AAL' swim in the upcom
ing Southeastern (‘onference
championship next month in order
to qualify for the trials

Bush is confident that it will be ac
complished "That is definitely the
biggest thing on my mind but I hau-
to put things in perspective because
it is tempting to look past the Stit'

Bush expressed confidence in the
team. believing that its best showing
is yet to come

"I really think that Kentucky is
going to have a real good srjt'
meet." he said "We have people
who can swim fast with times faster
than they're capable of doing

“Our freshmen compliment our
upperclassmen so well I'm looking
forward to the SEC and seeing their
times "

Bush also hopes to
