University sets new
curriculum outline
for general studies

By CHRISTOPHER S. SNAPP
Contributing Writer

Freshmen entering UK in the Fall
1988 semester will find a much more
stringent academic environment
than previously existed, courtesy of
the new University Studies Pro-
gram.

The program expands the core of
basic requirements developed to
provide a broad base of knowledge
for undergraduates during their first
two years of study.

At the heart of the program is the
idea that students must broaden
their understanding of the world. of
themselves, their role in society.
and the ideals that have motivated
mankind throughout the ages.

"If we don't provide students with
this additional encouragement. if we
don't instill in them a hunger for
knowledge. then our function as a
University is diminished. and we be-
come simply a trade school." said
Louis Swift. who for the last three
years has worked as director of Uni-
versity Studies to strengthen UK's
academic system.

To help achieve such goals. the
new program requires basic math
and foreign language skills. oral and
written communicative skills and
six hours in each of three discipli-
nary areas natural sciences. so-
cial sciences and humanities. Stu-
dents will also take cross-
disciplinary and crosscultural
classes.

Students who entered the Univer-
sity during the 198788 academic
year or before must meet old Uni~
versity requirements. which include
a two-semester writing requirement
and fulfillment of five of the eight
areas of general study.

The new program was approved
by the University faculty Senate on
Feb. 4. 1986. after several months of
debate. It had been drafted by the
Committee on General Education.
appointed in September 1982 by the
Chancellor of the Lexington campus
and the faculty Senate Council to
improve curriculum requirements.

UK academics officials lauded the
new program.

Sociology Professor Mike Brooks.
who worked on the University‘s se—
lective admissions policy. compared
the new requirements to a cafeteria.

"You can put some wonderful
dishes out there. but that doesn‘t
mean everyone‘s going to eat a bat-
anced meal.” Brooks said. The new
program would ensure that students
got a nutritionally balanced academ~
ic meal. he said.

Swift said the new program is "a
substantial and significant im»
provement over the previous re-
quirements."

“We are neither the last in line or
the pioneers here. (‘lose to 80 per-
cent of universities have been revis-
ing their curricula.”

College of (‘ominuiiications Dean
Douglas Boyd said the new require
ments will benefit the general prin-
ciples of education.

“A l'niversity in the traditional

sense has a definition of producing
people who are able and willing to
learn about the world." Boyd said.

“There is an element of pressure
from society. that. in addition to
knowing something about philosophy
or business. one should also be able
to write and communicate with his
fellow man. We have an obligation
to mandate that students do this."

The College of Communications
has had a request from at least one
major corporation to tutor a key ex~
ecutive. a college graduate. in basic
oral and written skills.

“The focus of post-secondary edu-
cation now is to better equip stu-
dents to fit into a changing society. ‘
Boyd said. “Too many of our college
graduates don‘t seem in be much
more qualified than some high
school graduates of .i few years be-
fore."

Swift. who let ches Latin. agreed.
“The purpose cl learning is not to be
satisfied with inadequate knowledge.
As educators. we should help stu-
dents appveciate the beauty and joy
of learning. so when they get out of
the classroom they will continue to
learn informally through reading
and experiences. and. hopefully.
thiywilllikedoingit."hesaid.

‘lf they hate learning or become
satisfied with what they know. then

Selective admissions
has produced concrete
results in the classroom

By ANDREA WOOD
Contributing Writer

In the Fall semester of 1983. UK
had one National Merit Scholar on
its rolls. In 1987 that number in-
creased to 12. placing more National
Merit Scholars at UK than at any
other institution in the state

in the Fall semester of 1983. the
average ACI‘ score of a UK fresh-
man was 19.7. In 1987. the average
score wa522.4.

Clearly. numbers indicate the im~
proving academic record of UK's re-
cruits. Since the implementation of
its Selective Admissions Policy in
fall 194. the University has made
great strides in upgrading the aca-
demic quality of UK's entering
freshmen and the overall student
community.

Most students who entered UK as

freshman in 1984 graduate this year.
The effect of a whole four-year Uni-
versity generation of students who
qualified under selective admissions
has led to more rigid academic pro-
grams Universitywide.

William Campbell. director of
UK's writing program. said the in—
coming freshmen he sees are "much
better prepared than ones before se-
lective admissions."

Getting better students “makes
the job easier." Campbell said.

The English department. because
of better-prepared students. has
dropped its remedial English
classes. In turn. the Writing Center
was created — not to replace reme-
dial English —- but to cater to the
better students. he said.

Selective admissions has also
caused individual professors to
change their taching methods.

Board of Trustees honors four faculty
with award for achievement in research

By EVAN SILVERSTI‘IIN
Staff Writer

Four UK faculty members have
been named t'iiiversity Research
Professors for outstanding achieve-
ment in their respective research
disciplines.

The recipients are: Daniel Nelson.
in political science: Mina Miller. in
music; Robert Dickson. in bioche-
mistry; and Jesse Sisken. in micro-
biology and immunology.

The research professorships were
established in 1977 and are pre-
sented annually to commend out-
standing research achievement and
recognize scholarly research pro-
ductivity.

Graduate School Dean Wimberly
Royster said the award would give
professors a year off beginning next
semester to concentrate on re-
search. He said the research is ex-
pected to “be of value to their disci-
pline and to the University."

Nelson. a nationally-recognized
expert on Communist politics and

Soviet foreign policy. said he will be
examine how and to what degree po-
litical change occurs in Communist
states.

He will also study the strength of
a Communist regime under chang-
ing or revolutionary conditions.

Nelson. a former consultant to the
US. Department of State and the
US. Information Agency from 1985-
86. said that if there is change. he
wants to know how much.

“It‘s pretty common to recognize
that in the Soviet Union today. and
in China and places like Poland in
1980-81. when solidarity was more
alive and well. there were major
politial changes occurring. But how
major are these? Is it merely win-
dow dressing or perhaps just cos-
metic‘.’"

Nelson. 40. received his doctorate
in political science from Johns Hop-
kins University in 1972.

Dickson. an associate professor of
biochemistry. will concentrate on
genetics and how protein causes
genes to switch on-and-off.

“What we hope to understand l>
really how does the protein recog
nize certain genes. lt (protemi has
to recognize the socalled DNA so
quence tcomposition of genes»
and binds to certain DNA sequences
and they turn on these genes.” Dick
son said.

This research. he said. can pm
vide more information about celfii
tar diseases and how to combat
them. such as the uncontrollable cell
growth found in cancer.

Dickson. 4:3. received a doctorate
degree in molecular biology from
UCLA in 1970 and has taught at l‘K
since1975.

Miller. an associate professor of
music, is an authority on the Danish
composer Carl Nielsen.

She has gained national recogni-
tion as a Nielsen editor. already re-
vamping the composer's complete
piano music.

Miller. who joined the LR faculty
in 197?. plans on doing a “critical re-
vived edition and recording of the

Burse says he still plans on resigning from KSU

By CHARLES WOLFE
Associated Press

FRANKFURT — Raymond Burse
said yesterday he still expected to
resign as president of Kentucky
State University but promised to
weigh the Board of Regents‘ formal
request that he stay.

Burse disclosed his resignation
Wednesday at a convocation. He
said yesterday that lack of time for
his family and frustration over state
funding for higher education were
factors in his decision. He also said
frequent criticism of his manage-
ment style “has worn on me over
time.“

The proffered resignation is
“something I am committed to and
still committed to at this point in
time.“ Burse said at the board's
quarterly meeting.

“But in deference to members of
this board. . . . I think lam required
to look at what has been said land
to) consider it." said Burse. whose
contract would not expire until June
30. I990.

The board voted 74) against ac-
cepting the resignation of the as
year-old Burse. a confessed “worka-
holic" and “frustrated perfection-
ist" who simultaneously won praise
for revitalizing a moribund campus
and raised eyebrows with his de—
manding. sometimes abrasive. man-
agement style.

During Burse‘s six—year adminis-
tration. Kentucky State made great
financial strides. nearly tripling its
endowment. There also was a high
turnover of faculty and staff and fre-
quent clashes involving Burse and
individual regents or university em-
ployees

That was not the only factor in his
decision. ”but all the pieces wear
you down over time." Burse said.
“It‘s sensitive. . . . It has worn on
me over time."

Board Chairman Barney Tucker
of Louisville said the regents did not
approve of everything Burse did.
But “the scales are tipped almost 90
degrees in favor of what‘s been
done" and the vote to reject Burse's
resignation letter “speaks for it-
self." Tucker said.

Kentucky State‘s endowment. just
897.000 three years ago. is more than
$2.2 million. The assets of its fund-
raising foundation tripled in that pe-
riod to $3.3 million. according to uni-
versity records.

That financial growth earned Ken-
tucky State one of four gold medals
being awarded this year by the
Council for the Advancement and
Support of Education. the board was
told.

Burse tentatively timed his resig-
nation for Dec. 31 or Jan. 15 and
said a final decision probably would
be announced by May a. the univer-
sity‘s commencement date.

Burse said the det'ision would be

made in consultation with his wife.
Kim. and two sons. age ‘i and ‘2. add
ing he sees too little of them

"I am a compulsive workaholic l
like to get things done." Burse said
”I‘m a frustrated perfectionist. so I
spend the extra time that is needed
to do those things. . . . When I leave
the office most days. I am dead

FCC fines
phone porn
companies

Associated Press

WASHINGTON ~ The FCC yes—
terday ordered two t‘alitornia dial-a-
porn operators to pay fines totaling
$l.2 million for failing to restrict ac-
cess of obscene messages to chil-
dren and nonconsenting adults.

“It's time we took steps. The ulti-
mate in sleaze deserves the ultimate
. . . penalty.“ said l-‘CC Commission-
er James H. Quello

The companies. Audio Enter»
prises. Inc. and lntercambio, lnc..
were each fined $600000 for viola-
tion of statues banning the interstate
transmission of obscene material
and failure to restrict such trans-
missions t‘rom minors and noncon-
senting adults The maximum fine is
$50,000 for each day of violation.

An Ft‘t‘ spokesman, Gerald
Brock. said the serum fines were
based on the amount of money the
companies made during the com-
missions monitoring process.

In an 11-month period. Audio En-
terprises made $6M).000 off calls to
one line. the spokesman said.

Today's order resulted from an
Ft‘t‘ investigation triggered by com-
plaints alleging that unimpeded ac-
cess to the messages resulted in the
molestation of one 10-year—old girl
and so disturbed one teen he had to
enter weekly psychiatric therapy.

The companies have 30 days to
pa y or seek rcduct ion of the fine.

Earlier commission dial-a-porn
rules had mandated the “blocking"
of such messages through access
codes. message scrambling or use of
credit card numbers.

L'pon being notified last December
of the complaints, both companies
said they did not have the capacity
to provide access screening and den-
ied the messages were obscene. In-
tercambio also argued that it had
not violated the regulation because
it never intended to transmit inter—
state or to minors

The commission staff is investi-
gating complaints about two other
dial-aporn companies. Itamrod En-
terprises. Inc and 2001 Enterprises.

‘Constructive’ talks
preparing Soviets,
U.S. for May meet

By CAROL J. WILLIAMS
Associated Press

MOSCOW — Soviet Foreign Min-
ister Eduard A. Shevardnadze and
U.S. Secretary of State George P.
Shultz discussed human rights and
regional conflicts yesterday but
reached no breakthroughs despite a
”constructive atmosphere" and less
contention over Afghanistan.

Last week‘s signing of an accord
setting a May 15 start for the with—
drawal of Soviet troops from Af-
ghanistan “certainly has been a pos-

itive development.” said State
Department spokesman Charles
Redman.

He said the apparent im-

provement in the Afghanistan situa-
tion made that issue less conten-
tious, but that the war and its
consequences were not a “closed
book." Questions of monitoring the
pullout and helping Afghan refugees
continue to confront U.S. and Soviet
officials, he said.

Both Redman and Foreign Min-
istry spokesman Vadim Perfiliev
praised the mood at the talks be-
tween Shultz and Shevardnadze, who
have been meeting monthly since
February in preparation for the
Moscow summit meeting that begins
May 29.

Perfiliev described the exchanges
as being held in “a constructive at-
mosphere," and Redman said the
ministers have made it their prac-
tice to get down to serious work on
the issues that divide them.

“I would say that as always there
is a good atmosphere at the talks,“
Redman said.

A U.S. official who spoke on condi-
tion of anonymity said the meetings
had produced “a modicum of pro-
gress“ on several fronts.

He said arms control experts met
in a working session while Shultz
and Shevardnadze agreed on proce-
dures for joint experiments in nucle—
ar testing to begin in July, both at
the U.S. test range in Nevada and at
the Soviet facility in Semipalatinsk.

Soviet officials also introduced
proposed new language outlining the
Kremlin‘s stand on space-based
weaponry, but U.S. negotiators were
not immediately sure how to assess
it pending translation.

“They were good, solid, business-
like meetings," the official said. but
he added. “I don‘t have anything of
a breakthrough to point to.“

Shultz flew in from Helsinki, Fin-
land. early in the day for what is ex-
pected to be his last working session
in the Soviet capital before Presi-
dent Reagan's visit.

A meeting with Mikhail S. Gorba-
chev and discussions on arms con-
trol, including the dimming pros-
pects for concluding a treaty halving
strategic weapons stockpiles before
the summit, were on Shultz’s agenda
for today.

Gorbachev and Reagan signed an
accord ridding both of their nations
of medium- and shorter-range mis»
Silas at the December summit. They
called at the time for another pact
cutting strategic arms by 50 per-
cent, but negotiations in Geneva
have been proceeding slowly.

U.S. officials have said that prob-
lems in verifying cdmpliance with
the accord and a dispute over space-
based defenses are holding up an
agreement.

Redman told reporters at a brief-
ing that as usual, Shultz began his
talks with Shevardnadze on humani-
tarian issues. like the plight of Sovi-
et Jews refused permission to emi-
grate and each side’s contention that
basic freedoms are infringed in the
other country.

Shultz met with a group of about
25 refuseniks yesterday night at the
home of an American diplomat, and
assured those whose emigration ap-
peals had been denied that U.S. offi-
cials would not set aside their con-
cern in the wake of improved
relations with the Soviets.

“President Reagan and whoever
succeeds him — it's built into us —
will keep working on these human
rights problems," Shultz told the
group after being told briefly by
each of their attempts to emigrate.

At the same time. a group of
about two dozen refuseniks gathered
on the steps of the Lenin Library to
draw attention to their plight, but
plainclothes poice ripped their plac-
ards from their hands and hustled
them away in buses.

After today's meetings, expected
to focus on arms control issues,
Shultz plans to visit Kiev and Tbilisi
over the weekend. Although he has
frequently traveled to Moscow for
formal talks, Shultz has never been
outside the Soviet capital and took
up his hosts' proposal to visit the
capitals of the Ukraine and Soviet
Georgia. Shevardnadze‘s home re-

Not that Sullivan is particularly
familiar with either. But we can

Dance Ensemble will perform

By LAURIE DELK
Staff Writer

Backstage dancers are stretching.
sweating. going over movements for
the last time and complaining about
their costumes being so tight that
they show every bulge.

The cause for the nervous tension
is the UK Dance Ensemble‘s free
performance at :1 pm. Sunday in the
Center for the Arts.

This is only the dance ensemble’s
second year on campus and accord-
ing to Deborah Clark, the president
of the ensemble, the strength of this
performance is its versatility in
dance forms.

“We‘re not stuck with just jazz or
just ballet,“ said Clark. “It shows
modern dance. ballet, jazz and tap."

But sweating it out on the dance
floor isn‘t Clark‘s only function in
the performance. she‘s also a
choreographer. Her creative and di-
recting abilities will be seen in the
second dance of the program which
is the only ballet piece. It‘s called
"Swedish Rhapsody." And accord-
ing to Clark. choreographing dance
is not always easy.

According to Clark. the piece has
no plot. It’s just classical jazz that‘s
up. peppy and a fun piece in
general.

"It shows the joy of dancing."
said Clark. “We look like we‘re hav~
ingagoodtime upthere.“

Of course if you don't think watch-
ing dance is fun. you‘re not alone.
()nc dancer admitted that she used
to find watching dancers a bit te-
dious.

"I didn‘t like to watch it for the
first 10 years I was involved." said

Members of the UK Dance Ensemble rehearse for this Sunday‘s

Virginia Crawford. 3 choreographer
for the program. "I just knew I
wanted to do it even though it's hard
work.

“I didn't enjoy watching dancc
until I saw ‘The Frontier“ which is a
picce that simply explores space."
said Crawford. “After I realized
every movement didn‘t have mean»
ing, I liked it. Dancers don‘t have to
understand dance. they just have
the desire to dance. "

But simply watching dance is too
passive according to Crawford. To
get the full effect and develop a true
appreciation. people should
participate or at least take a class.

“I just love to move,” said Craw-
ford. “Physically and emotionally
dancing is such a high. At some
point. it becomes a language you

lcurn and you can gel high cvcn If
you're not good."

('rawford added that with practicc
and determination unyonc can bc a
good danccr. Proof of hcr own
willingness lo work will bc soon in
her piece callcd "(lirl With .\'o
I‘chs” which is lhc third piccc in [lic
program and hcr own chorcographic
creation.

“It’s like a dream in that
something you \t'ouldn'l
scc." suid ('rawford
