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.

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.

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.

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.

About a dozen years later, the 6-foot—2
Dreisbach is captain and star of the UK vol—

nearing the top of several Wildcat career
records, including kills, block assists and
attack attempts.

And, lest we forget, she’s also an Academ-

“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

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.
