Senate denies
‘tamily cap' tor weltai'e

\\'ASI ll.\"(iT()N 7— l’leeding warnin ts that a
national welfare “family cap" would t rive up
abortions and punish poor families, the Senate
derailed a conservative push yesterday to deny
additional cash payments to single mothers who
have more children.

Twenty Republicans sided with every Demo— ,
crat as the Senate approved an amendment by
Sen. Pete Domenici. 66—34, to strip a family cap
policy from the Republican blueprint to overhaul
the nation's welfare programs.

Conservatives said the government, if it is ever
going to bring down the rising rates of ille riti—
mate births, must stop subsidizing the “reck ess,
irresponsible" behavior of single women who ask
taxpayers to support their children.

tive."

W'ethington also added that he believes UK has
made many considerable advances in its doctoral pro-
grams since the study was done in 1993.

Also, \Vethington said this report is extremely
timely because he has now set up a committee to
study the effectiveness of the graduate programs at
UK.

“The (graduate) committee has not been specifi-
cally charged with studying this report, but I'm sure
it will come into play," \Vethington said.

“That and how UK’s programs relate and com-
pare to programs across the country.”

He said the graduate programs’ enrollment has
grown from 18.4 percent ofoverall enrollment to 23
percent between 198‘) and 1994.

'l he .‘lirociated Prerr also contributed to this article.

The National Research Council is a private, non—
profit institution that provides science and technolo-
gy advice under a congressional charter.

The 74(l—page report it put out examines the qual-
ity of more than 3,600 research-based doctoral pro—
grams in 41 fields at 274 universities. It is the coun—
cil's first comprehensive study of doctoral programs
since 1982.

The most highly rated doctoral program in the
state was the pharmacology program at UK, which
placed in the top quarter ofall programs nationally.

UK also earned above average ratings for its
English, biochemistry, ecology and psychology pro—
grams and for its cellular biology program in the
Chandler Medical Center.

“I’m delighted we had some programs that were
ranked highly," said President Charles \Vethington.

“And whenever reputational ratings or rankings

A study of doctoral programs at universities across
the United States rated only a small number of UK’s
programs as above average.

However, top University officials say the study is
not completely relevant to UK’s current climate.

Gerry Bramwell, UK vice president for research
and graduate studies, said the study by the National
Research Council was done in 1993, and a lot has
changed in UK’s doctorate program since then.

Bramwell said the graduate program has doubled
its research dollars in the last five years, especially in
the last two.

And he said he thinks significant resource increas—
es lead to growth in faculty as well as diverse and new
ideas.

Chaney said.

“She does a lot of good work down there, but 1

Crabtree will still keep SGA informed about
national lobbying efforts, she said.

She is also a leader of the National Association
of Students for Higher Education, which is lobby-
ing Congress for support of student loans. Her
involvement will continue in that organization,
she said.

Crabtree and a panel of nine other student
activists from campuses across the United States
met with Clinton on Monday durin a one—hour,
round table discussion about Republican propos—

Her grandfather, Ed Ehlers, played basketball, football and baseball for Pur-
due. He was the first player ever drafted by the Boston Celtics in 1947.

And, by the way, the Chica 0 Bears and the New York Yankees also drafted
him. Ehlers chose to forgo tfie football invitation so he could still play two
5 orts.

p Dreisbach’s uncle, Tom Ehlers, should be a familiar name for Wildcat fans.
He captained the 1974 UK football team as a linebacker and later played for the
Buffalo Bills and the Philadelphia Eagles.

The third-oldest child, Andy Dreisbach, is redshirting this year as a linebacker
for the UK football team. He also lettered in wrestling for three years in high
school.

It’s tough to be a redshirt this year, he says. He practices hard all week, but
doesn’t get a chance to perform on Saturday.

Although he often gets advice from his older brother, who has just finished his
redshirt season —— at Michigan.

The older brother, Scott Dreisbach, is now the starting quarterback for the
, Wolverines.

“It was never hard trying to find a pick-up game," Andy recalled after a prac-
tice recently.

The 1995—96 SAB Datebook is
a necessity for any student who
wants to keep their academic
career at UK organized with ease.

Inside it provides students with
a wealth of information from
activities to academics. For fresh-
men and transfer students, it is
es ecially important because it
te ls “everything about anything"
you would ever need to know
about the basics of UK — like
building hours, locations and
im ortant phone numbers.

he major difference between
this year's datebook and last year‘s
is the new design, said SAB Presi-
dent David Cra craft. The new
datebook was re esigned in a joint
effort between Craycraft and UK
graduate Byl Hensley, who gave it
new appearance and made it easier
to use.

The new desi rn includes
BUZZ, a small ba loon-shaped
bullet that appears next to activi—
ties on the date calendar that
highlights events that may interest
students. It lists various activities

and important academic events,
not just SAB activities.

“(The datebooks) are selling
really well," said University Book-
store employee Amanda Thomas.
“VVe've had to re—stock them two
times.”

She said that everyone seems to
like the datebooks and added that
they are the “most popular" date-
books in the store.

The datebook also includes
many useful items that provide
information as well as a means to
get organized. The UK A-Z sec~
tion, which reads much like a dic—
tionary, features a list of tenns and
answers to questions students may
have about the University, like its
policies and pro ams.

In addition, t e datebook has a
campus map, a final exam sched—
ule and of course the calendar sec-
tion itself.

The datebook is also an excel-
lent buy at $3.95, Craycraft said.
The money made from the sale of
the datebooks will be used to print
next years edition, Craycraft said.

The datebooks can be pur-
chased at the University Book-
store in the Student Center. The
are not sold at the Kennedy Boo '
Store.

If you signed up for UK On—
Line, chances are you’ve discov-
ered patience is more than a
virtue —- it’s a necessity.

Sign-ups for UK ()n-Line
began on campus in mid-August,
offering University students, fac—
ulty, staff and Alumni Associa—
tion members 15 hours of prime
time Internet access for about
$12 per month. Non-UK affili-
ated computer users were going
to be charged about $17.

At the time, eople expected
to receive their Iiiilfillment pack-
ages within one to two weeks.
But a few last minute changes
turned a week into a month.

MCI Internet specialist Inho
Lee said it was a matter ofiron-
ing out some wrinkles.

“The first time (the software
was completed), it turned out
that there were some minor
details, cosmetic changes. So the
program went back and forth

etween UK and MCI for
approvals,” Lee said.

UK officials said the delay was
caused by the need for intensive
testin of the new MCI software.

“ e wanted to make sure the
software was working well and
that we had good documentation
to send with it,” said Doyle
Friskney, head of UK network
and communication systems.

One of the resulting changes
is the addition of an on—line
guide for the Windows applica-
tion, which will “improve usabil-
ity.” Lee said this was fairly typi-
cal of the chan es being made.

Although t e program has
been delayed, the uncommon
relationship between UK and
MCI should make UK ()n-Line
worth the wait.

“Our relationship with UK is
uni ue, more so than with oth-
ers, Lee said. “UK was one of
the first universities on board,
and we reall brought them into
more of a co laborative effort.”

For UK, it means an op rtu-
nity to be involved wit the
design of the program, ensuring
a service that suits UK.

In the ast, hookin into the
Internet om a sma ler town

I

  

meant making a long—distance
phone call. Now that call is a
thing of the past. MCI is raising
17 sites across the state, provid-
ing those towns with local access
for the first time.

“I don’t think a lot of people
realize how unbelievably revolu—
tionary this is,” Friskney said.
“We’ll finally have the whole
state of Kentucky being able to
do what they want to do on the
net.”

It’s time for the new cus—
tomers of UK On-Line to look
out as well. The program was
finalized in the last few days.

Friskney said MCI will start
shippin packages tomorrow.

In the meantime, UK stu—
dents who are signed up for the
packa e can already get UKPG
— a gee software package that
helps run the service — in Mar-
garet I. King Library Microlabs
at UK. UKPG will allow stu—
dents to access UK-Online.

“IfI were a student and want—
ed the best of both worlds, this
(UKPG) will do everything you
want it to do, and it’s probably
preferable to use (for UK infor—
mational access)," Friskney said.
“It’s tuned a little better to do

 

the things we do here.”

On your mark. Get set. Go!

The 4th annual Race judicata
will be held on Saturday at 8:30
am.

The 5K Run and 1-Mile Fun
Walk, which will take place at the
UK Arboretum off Alumni Drive,
is being sponsored by the UK
College of Law.

The Arboretum offers a more
scenic course than most runners
usually experience on grass and
gravel paths, Noll said.

The goal for this year’s event is
for 500 people to attend, said Jim
Noll, executive director. Advance
registration is $10 per person or
$12 on the day of the race.

In the past, the event has been
very successful around the Lex—
ington community. Last year,
however, there was another 5K
run the same day, and attendance
was divided between the two
races, Noll said.

But this year the race is the
only one that day. Noll said he’s
trying to get the word out that this
event is for everybody.
