Some benchmarks pay up to
$10,000 more for teachers

By Mat Herron
Camp/ls Ifdltor

Conventional wisdom states
that if you teach, don't expect to
make money.

At other schools, there's a little
more to go around.

On average, full professors at
UK earn about $10,000 less than
full professors at benchmark insti-
tutions.

Professors at the University of
North Carolina at Chapel-Hill,
made an average of $85,500 last
year, said Mike McFarland, who
works at University News Services
at L'NC.

During the 1995—96 school
year, Indiana University at
Bloomington full professors made
$73,400, and NC. State profes-
sors earned about $71,100,
according to Academe, the journal

published by the American Asso—
ciation of University Professors.

Last year at the University of
Missouri-Columbia, full profes—
sors’ average pay totaled $74,443,
up 3 percent from 1995-96.

Faculty pay at MU comes from
two-thirds of tuition and one-
third state, said Pat Morton, chief
planning and budget officer at
MU.

There, lower-ranking profes—
sors get the most money.

At UK it's the other way
around.

As of last year, professors made
$69,594, $30,000 more than what
they made 10 years ago, according

to figures provided by the Office
of Planning and Budget.

Faculty pay comes from ttiition
and state su iport. During the
budget period, usually in _lanuary
or February. there‘s always a dis—
cussion of faculty and staff salary
increase, said .lo'an McCauley',
associate vice president for the
Planning and Budget Office.

The president, chancellors and
vice presidents meet with deans to
talk about potential for the pool.

Raises are given on the basis of

merit, she said. as a result a per-
formance evaluation is done at the
department‘s dean and chair level.
The Board of Trustees has the

final say on all salary increases.
"It's always one of the \erv

highest priorities," McCaulcv
said.
for this year, the board

approved a i percent salary pool,
or about Si million, for faculty
salary increases, which includes
associated benefits like retirement
and social security.

Coiiiparatively‘, the salary pool
w as -l percent two years .igo and
3.3 last year.

Do these salaries reflect the
amount of research and teaching
professors do? \

"They're all low," mathematics
professor l)onald Coleman said.

Student I‘BIITSCOVBI‘S lite
alter near-fatal stroke

By Karrie Ralston
(for/tributing ll 'i'Ite'r

College students have enough to worry about —-
rades, a major, tuition payments, AIDS, the risk of
fiavin r a stroke, the list oes on and on.

\V ich one ofthese dbesn‘t quite fit?

The stroke risk, right? Wrong.

Arts administration senior Callie Ratterman
knows from personal experience that college stu-
dents run the risk ofhavin strokes.

“1 remember being in t e ambulance and hearing
the technician call the hospital and say they were en-
route with a 22-year-old female, possible stroke vic-
tim. I thought, "l‘his can‘t be a stroke, 1 am too
young to have a stroke.”

Six months a ti on A ril 9, Ratterman experi-
enced a blood cTot on t e left side of her brain.
\V-alking across campus, her right arm went numb.
“It was no big deal. It had happened a few times
before, but it always went away in about 15 min—
utes."

This time it didn’t go away. As she continued to
walk, more and more of her right side became para—
lyzed, her right leg and finally the entire right side of
her body.

She made it to her destination where she was
meeting a friend. When she tried to tell him she
needed help, Ratterman realized she couldn’t talk
either.

By writing with her left hand, she was able to
communicate. She was in the emergency room with-
in a halfhour.

Chandler Medical Resident Neurosurgeon Dr.
Thomas Anderson said strokes at Ratterman’s age
are “extremely rare, but it does hap n.”

Symptoms of an oncomin stroiee include weak-
ness, numbness on one side 0 the body or the other,
slurred speech and facial drooping, he said.

“Over all, an altered menta status” shows a stroke

s

e e '

is taking place, Anderson said.

After the doctor’s diagnosis of the stroke, Ratter-
man‘s reaction was sheer “disbeliefand shock."

Then came “the general fear. Will I be able to
speak again? Or walk?”

Her friends and family reacted the same way.

The stroke was attributed to the combination of
smoking over a rolonged eriod of time and her
birth control pil s, which sfie had been taking for
medical reasons for a while as well.

Sadly, her doctor, who had prescribed the pills,
did not tell her of these possible side effects. The
numbness she had experienced in her arm several
times before were actually mini—strokes, she later
discovered.

Those instances of numbness were “small warn-
ing signs. For unexplained instances like these, it is
always a good idea to be checked out by a doctor,"
Anderson said.

“1 was never told that when I experienced numb-
ness 1 should to go to the emergency room,” Rattcr-
man said.

“If anyone experiences any sym toms like the
ones she experienced they shou d see a doctor
immediately,” Anderson said.

As a result of the stroke, Ratterman has quit
smoking and gone off the pill. She can never again
take any type of hormone su plement. She has
lost weight, exercises more an pays closer atten-
tion to what she eats, includin monitoring her
sodium intake and eating more fruits and vegeta-
bles.

“I feel a whole lot healthier hysically,” she said.

As for prevention, “It‘s har to predict in a young
person,” Anderson said. Family history can play a
role, but some ople are just born with blood vessel
abnormalities thgt are nearly impossible to detect.

Instead of graduating in May, Ratterman will be
forced to graduate in December because of the
stroke. She is still going through occupational thera—

‘.

 

py for her hand, but was discharged from her speech
therapy just over a month ago. ller hand is still not
at 100 percent which prevents her from practicing
many of the activities she used to do on a regular
basis.

Playing the piano, typing, and writing notes in
class present a challenge for her. But she has made
more progress than usual, which she does attribute
to her young age. “Most people don't see a third of
my recovery in a year.

Ratterman has returned to work at the Actors
Guild and is still in rehabilitation.

Besides her smoking habit, Ratterman was in
good health. Her family history did not place her at
risk; it includes her grandfather who suffered from
several strokes, none of which were fatal.

“It’s been a tragic experience, but it’s been a
learning experience. I’ve learned a whole lot about
the strength 1 have in myself."

Su rt groups for stroke victims are offered by
the 1s Sanders-Brown Center on Aging. The (Zen-
ter and the Kentucky Neurosciences Institute will
offer complimentary stroke screenings this Saturday
from 9 3m. to 1 pm. To register, call the UK
Health Connection at 606-257-1000.

Cats coast to easy ti

Cats pull a trick
out of A nbnrn ’s
book with win

By Rob Horhst
Spam- Editor

(SAINFSVILLE, Fla. - There are times
when L'K goalkeeper Carrie Kuhnell is good.

There are also times when Kuhnell strug-
gles and lets up an occasional weak goal.

Yesterday afternoon in the first round of the
Southeastern Conference women‘s soccer
tournament Kuhnell was magnificent in the
\Vildcats’ 2—0 win over Auburn.

The Tigers took a whopping 37 shots and
none ofthem tickled the mesh netting.

“It was my best game all season,” Kuhnell
said. “I had a mid—season slump but I had to
forget that slump because it’s over."

Although the Tigers had a high shot total,
L‘K had a number of opportunities to score as
well. L'nlike Auburn, the \Vildcats capitalized
on their chances.

L'K started off the scoring at 31:19 when
senior forward Kim LaBelle found fellow for-
ward Jennifer .\lc.\1aster nine yards out in
front ofthe goal.

.\lc.\laster's shot crept just inside the right
goalpost and gave the Cats a desperately need-
ed goal. L'K had been shutout in its last two
games.

The \Vildcats added to their lead in the sec-
ond half when junior forward Carrie Staber
had a breakaway opportunity. She momentari-
ly stumbled but recotnposed to plant a shot in
the lower right of the net.

“Sometimes those easy ones are types of
plays that you choke on," Staber said.

8 DAYS TIL CHRISTMAS

“I’ve had a lot of those where I choked this
year so it’s ood to finish that one.”

While t e UK offense grabbed the lead,
Kuhnell made sure not to leave Gainesville as a
loser.

During the final 15 minutes of play, Kuh-
nell made three point~blank saves as well as
two sprawling sto s to her left.

“That was the liest I’ve seen Carrie Kuhnell
this season," said UK head coach Warren
Lipka.

“Those were the types of big saves that we
talk to our goalkeepers about making. You’re
not thinking about making those saves, you
just make ‘em and she made ‘em."

Auburn head coach Bill \Vilkins added,
“Carrie came up very big today. She was in the
right places at the ri ht times. When she had
to dive, she dove. \\ en she had to jump, she
jumped.”

\Vith the win, the \Vildcats can forget about
last year’s SEC Tournament. UK hosted the
tournament and the Wildcats were shocked in
the first round of the tourney by the satue
Auburn squad.

“It was in the very back of my mind,” Kuh-
nell said. “They beat us last year with only
seven seconds left in the game. \Ve deserved to
win that game last year, so we had to make sure
to win today."

Staber said, “It would have been a miserable
weekend had we been stuck to watch the rest
ofthe tournament and not play.”

Now the \Vildcats take on No. 23 Vander—
bilt in the semifinals today at Percy Beard Sta-
diutn.

The Commodores hammered Arkansas 8-3
yesterday in the first round of play.

Two weeks ago Vanderbilt beat UK 3-1 in
Nashville, clinching the SEC East crown with
that win.

It’s fair to say UK and Vandy aren’t best
friends. In their previous meeting, two VVild—
cats were ejected from the game.

Goalie Kuhnell uses workout
to regain confidence, efficiency

By Heath Tingle
Smfl Writer

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Carrie
Kuhnell’s workout session this
past Monday seemed to have
solved the mystery of the junior's
up-and-down pla this season.

Working wit assistant
UK women’s soccer coach,
Greg Cope, Kuhnell worked on
her most glaring weakness — slop-
ing shots over her head.

“It’s something you gotta kee
working on,” added Kuhnelfi
about her 45-minute after practice
session.

Overall, Kuhnell stopped 12
shots during the match. None
were tnore itnportant than some of
the late stops in the match when
Auburn began pressuring the net.

One outstanding save came in
the 80th minute of the match,
Auburn launched a shot to Kuh-
nell's left and she made a diving
save to thwart the comeback.

“She has been a new person
since she won the job back,” said
Lipka in reference to the step up
in Kuhnell’s play.

The improvement could be key
for today’s match with Vanderbilt,
for it will be im erative for UK to
get off to a goo start.

“They need to understand that
you’ve got to fight adversity on the
field, and they’re starting to learn

UK this year is 7-0-1 when it
scores first.

The SEC Women’s Soccer
Tournament so far has been Laura
Koemer’s world.

Koerner, a sophomore

her tournament started off in stun-
ning fashion, scoring four goals in
an 8-3 win over Arkansas.

The match saw two records fall,
the total number of goals in a
match (1 1) and most goals in a half
(6) by both teams.

Koerner’s goal fest began early
with a goal in the 3rd minute of
play, and by the time the teams
were headed to the locker room,
Koerner had added two more.

For Koerner the performance
could not have come at a better
time. Last ear in the first round at
the SEC ournament, Vanderbilt
lost to Arkansas on penalty kicks.

“We’ve had it fresh on our
minds for a long time," Koerner
said about the loss.

OXFORD, ()hio —— The UK
men’s soccer team had lost three
games in a row. One of its key
eaders, Brien Baltzell, was ejected
from the game shortly before half-
time. Sotne in the crowd figured
the match was over.

They forgot to tell the team.

In the first round of the Mid—
American Conference Tourna-
ment, UK escaped with a 2—1 vic-
tory over the Western Michigan
Broncos.

“Even with IO men, we were,
by far, the best team,” UK head
coach Ian Collins said. “It was a
team effort, a very gutsy effort,
and they deserved a win.”

A sign of things to cotne hap-
pened when VVMU’s David Fer-
nandez was given a yellow card
just four minutes into the game.

It only got worse.

At the 41:50 mark, WMU’s
Scott Loewe was yellow carded
after he and UK’s Sean Mondelli
became entangled. After a few
shoves, the two were se arated.

The peace wouldn’t ast.

Exactly 30 seconds later,

Baltzell was red—carded and the
Broncos’ Steve Roth was yellow-
carded for an altercation in front
of the UK bench.

Baltzell was pushed from both
sides and headbutted Roth to try
and clear some rootn. Immediate-
ly, the card went up.

Baltzell was ejected, forcing the
Cats to play a man down for the
entire second half.

Not to worry.

Only 1:21 into the second
half, UK got on the board. Matt
\Vilkerson took a shot form the
left side, but VVMU’s Eric Pogue
deflected it away. It went to
Mondelli, who dribbled past
Scott Knight and crossed it to
the right post, putting UK ahead
1- .

\Vestern tied the game on a
goal by Richard Lott at the 53:56
mark. The shot, from 12 yards
out, rolled past UK goalkeeper
Chris West.

UK then took things into its
own hands.

In the 68th minute, UK’s Chris
Villamil brou ht the ball down
the far side 0 the field, beat his
defender, crossed the ball into the
net and gave UK the lead.

Men escape with 2-1 win
despite flurry of penalties

“The guy kind of stepped on
me, so I pushed it by him,” Vil-
lamil said. “The keeper came out,
and I put it in the post.”

The players were pleased with
the effort after Baltzell’s card ——
something which the players said
could have been the last straw.

“Baltzell’s one of our key
players, and to have him out
really hurt,” Villamil said. “I
imagine everyone or down for a
second. We foug t through it
and won.”

“They pulled it together and
gave it everything they had,”
Baltzell said. “They picked it up
and did what they had to do.”

Even with the enthusiasm,
Collins isn’t about to let his team
sit on its laurels.

“That’s one down,” Collins
said. “We’ve got to make sure we
stay focused and get going (for the
next game).”

MI:
Mondelli and Baltzell were
named to the first team All—MAC

Team, while Lee Baker was

named to the second team.
Collins was named MAC

is concerned about the quality of
education.

Gender, Nelson said, plays a
role as well.

Despite the fact that women
are getting slightly more than 50
percent 0 the jobs (two-thirds of
the professors with doctoral
degrees in Nelson's field are
women), female professors still
get average pay, and more men
make it into tenure track positions
faster, she said.

Historically, teaching “is a fem-
inized profession. All the rofes-
sions that are associated wit care-
taking, children and health
have been conceptualized as
women’s work.”

Figures from the March-April
1996 edition of Academe showed
women faculty at all levels in pub-
lic, rivate, independent and
churc -related colleges and uni-
versitics were paid less than men
in 1995-96.

it was midnight. it was madness. But
there was no celebration in si ht.

Amid a torrential 1—7 slid: over the
past month. iiighlighted by a lackluster
0—3 loss to Louisville Tuesday iii rht.
L'ls' head volleyball coach li‘ran [5 ory
said it was time for the (Iats to make a
change.

“if they're not scared ofthe coaches,
they‘re not goitig to be afraid of the
opposition either," Flory said Tuesday.

“\Ve're going to work their butts
off."

And that‘s exactly what the coaches
did.

After finishing the Louisville match
around 921* pan. Tuesday, the (Iats
turned around and practiced iii Memo—
rial (Ioliseuni from midnight to around
2:30 a.tii., L'ls' assistant coach 'l‘onya
'Iohnson said.

“\\"e wanted to make the statement
that it‘s not acceptable to play like we
did against Louisville," johnsoii said.
“You have to come out and accept the
challenge and not back down to your
opponent. (The coaches) had a kick—ass
attitude during \Vednesday morning's
practice wv we‘re goitig to make them
compete."

L'K outside hitter La’l‘anya \Vebb
said the volleyball team's Version of
Midnight Madness was ati eye—opening
experience.

“it was a tough practice, but we were
definitely deserving," \Vebb said.

“\Ye have been slipping for a while
now and i think we were in for a butt-
whippitig. it was their way of telling us
that we have to come out and play
hard."

Johnson said collegiate rules allow
teams to practice a maximum of four
hours per day. with matches counting
for three hours.

She added that in order to conipen—
sate for \Vednesday morning's practice,

.\lumine said a recent study by
[K recruiting coordinator (Iiaude
Bassctt indicated a set of results the
staff has implemented as a base for
recruiting 1 a winning back
ground.

“\\'e'rc making a real concen-
trated effort to recruit guys in here
from winning programs, winning
high school programs." the head
coach said. “i think that's really
important."

Players that have experience and
know how to win. possess the atti-
tutle and leadership characteristics
which can rub offonto their team-
mates.

A possible intangible for the
program's turnaround from one
season to the next arose after a poll
taken by .\lumine.

The players polled in the locker
rooiii were the 18 freshmen on the
1997 squad.

“l asked how many of them had
been to the playoffs at some point
in high school, and all of them

raised their hands," .\lumine said.
“‘l‘hat’s what we started doing, and
we’re going to cotitinue doing
that."

Bassett, the
“cell-phoned man
in a golf cart," is
the one in charge
of setting up visits
throughout the
year.

“\Ve're allowed
Vi visits," Bassett
said. “But we Bassett
banked six from
last year."

Last year after
the staff settled
down here in Lex-
ington, they opted
not to use all 56
“official visits," so
they saved six for
this year.

When .\lumine
arrived in Deceni- Bonner
her. the (lats
missed a step through the hiring
process anti didn‘t get the advan—
tage of a full year on the recruiting
trail.

To this point, UK has already
filled 42 ofthe ()2 spots.

 

 

Mumme WEIIIIS to keep talent home

One locale not forgotten is
.\lumnie’s former domicile located
iii South (ieorgia, an area he keeps
in touch with regularly.

The Southern area of (ieor ia.
where .\lumine re ilarly plucked
talent from. inc uded that of
Northern Florida in jacksonville
and 'l'allahassee, a fertile area for
high school talent.

in the traveling hand up from
Valdosta came L'K starting free
safety, freshman Willie (iary and
backup quarterback Dusty Bonner.

Gary and Bonner were team—
mates at Valdosta High School, a
(Ilass AAAA perennial power that
finished 376 in its final three years
and was the state runner—up with a
13—2 record last year.

“\Ve want guys that understand
how to win and have that expecta-
tion of winning." .\lumine said of
Gary and Bonner.

Note:

UK wide receiver Kio Sanford
has accepted an invitation to play
in the 49th annual Senior Bowl in
Mobile, Ala, onJanuary 17, 1998.

The last Cat to play in the post-
season all-star game was .\ielvin
