finate rejects proposal for GPA increase

Denied: Overcrowding prompts college
to request higher standard for acceptance

By Stacie Meihaus

SCENE EDITOR

The University Senate re-
jected a proposal to increase the
minimum grade point averages
requirements for entry into the
College of Communications and

LEMMA]!

Information Studies Monday.
Dean J. David Johnson pro-
posed to raise the GPA required
for acceptance as a major in the
college front a 2.6 to a 3.0. The
raise had to meet the approval
of the Senate Council, as re-
quired by a Senate provision

from 1987.

Johnson said the GPA in-
crease will be used to help con-
trol the expanding enrollment
of the school.

"We wouldn't decrease en-
rollment. we would just slow
the acceleration." Johnson said.
“It's not an action we've taken
lightly.“

Johnson said that the col-
lege strives to keep the student
to teacher ratio around the uni
versity's average of 20.2 stu-

dents to every teacher. Last
year. the college had an average
of 37.5 students per professor.
Richard Labunski. an asso-
ciate professor for the School of
Journalism. voted for the raise.
“We are bursting at the
seams. We have too many stu-
dents by far for the number of
faculty and resources." he said.
The college‘s enrollment is
1.161. According to Labunski.
this enrollment is up 50 percent
from the past few years. The

Changing rules: Committee examines
accessibility of alternative transportation

By Les Roll
CONTRIBUTING WRITER

“Biking on campus is a
good means of transportation.
There are just too many places
it's not allowed." said Jeff
Bruce. a history sophomore.

Concerns such as Bruce's
are just what the UK Bike Com-
mittee wants to hear.

The Bike Committee is an
informal group of faculty. staff
and employees working to pro-
mote biking on campus. said
Greg Brock. a committee mem-
ber and director of the Family
Studies Family Center.

Their goal is to make the
campus area safe and inviting
to bikers and to encourage oth-

ers to take up biking.

“This issue is key to park-
ing problems and environmen—
tal problems. and promotes a
healthier life style." Brock said.
“It's not just about a bunch of
guys who like to bike."

The Bike Committee meets
to discuss what they see as key
issues for campus bikers. such
as adding new bike lanes and
changing bike paths across
campus. Brock said. The com-
mittee then lobbies the Board of
Trustees for the changes it
wants to make.

School of Journalism alone has
841 students. which is tip 100
percent since 1994.

Labunski said the school
compared the student to
teacher ratios with other
benchmark schools. For exam-
ple. while UK‘s School of Jour-
nalism has 841 students and 16
professors. University of North
Carolina. Chapel Hill. has 39
professors for their 481. stu-
dents. a ratio of 12 students per
teacher.

"The numbers really speak
for themselves." he said.

Although Johnson said the
college backed the motion. the
University Senate as a whole
didn't agree w ith the proposal.
Senators voiced concern for
students as well as concern for
students pressuring teachers
for higher grades.

The Senate narrowly
struck down the bill with a vote
of 39 to 31. The proposal will be
appealed.

‘Cosmic Horizon’: Lecture addresses
controversral issues about universe

By Jimmy Nesbltt

STAFF WRZTER

When a young Jeffrey
Bennett finished the movie
2001: A Space Odyssey. he
thought it was realistic. but
not for the future.

“By 2001 we'll have more
than that." he remembers
saying.

Bennett. «13. is an astro»
physicist and teacher at the
University of Colorado. He
will be speaking on campus
Thursday about his book “On
The Cosmic Horizon: Ten
Great Mysteries for Third M il-
lennium Astronomy."

His book addresses a vari-
ety of issues such as the Big
Bang Theory. the existence of
life outside of earth and the
evolution of galaxies. The the-
ories he provides are written
so that someone with a very
limited science background
can understand them. he said.

Bennett gave an example
of one of his theories.

“The total number of stars
in the universe is larger than
the total number of grains of
sand on all beaches in the

world." he said.

During his visit. Bennett
plans to speak with physics
and astronomy professors and
discuss “developing strategy
for teaching methods.“

"I'm coming to promote
interest in astronomy." he
said.

Physics and astronomy
professor Moshe Elitzur
brought Bennett to UK. He
wants all students to attend.
regardless of their major.

Thomas Troland. also a
physics and astronomy profes—
sor. is excited about having
someone from outside the uni-
versity speak. Troland said
that he and other faculty look
forward “a talk on the con-
cepts of education.”

Nation suffering vaccine shortage

‘It's bad': Federal panel looking for solution
to vaccine shortage affecting every state

ASSOCIAIED PRESS

WASHINGTON — A feder-
al panel on Monday looked at
how to boost supplies of vac-
cines after reports that short-
ages have doctors in virtually
every state turning away par-
ents seeking immunizations for
their children.

"It‘s bad." said Dr. Louis
Cooper, president of the Ameri-
can Academy of Pediatrics.
"We‘ve spent 30 years building
a total pediatric prevention pro-
gram around vaccines. Sudden-
ly we’re having to tell them we

don't have any vaccines.”

The vaccine shortage has
been building for at least the
last two years. experts said.
Last week. the (‘enters for Dis-

said there were severe short
ages in eight of 11 vaccines. in

TODD

Continued from page I

Since becoming UK's 11th
president in July. Todd has
changed the hierarchy of the ad-
ministration. adding a provost
and cutting other positions. He
has formed commissions to ex-
plore women and diversity on
campus, begun work with May-
or Pam Miller to revitalize
downtown Lexington and has
joined with the president of the
University of Louisville. John
Shoemaker in efforts to improve
the universities.

And now he finds himself in
a bind over a tense budget and
forced into a duel against rising
health insurance costs for UK
faculty and staff.

Also. he must deal with the
recent NCAA sanctions against
the football team and Athletics
Department leadership. So far.
he has been praised for his pro-
fessionalism with the review he
has organized.

But this afternoon, he con-
centrated on other things. like
his family.

Todd and his wife. Patsy.
brought their son outside to un-
veil his surprise. Troy, bewil-
dered. smiled with curiosity at
the “Camp Troy" engraving,
which his parents gave him to
show their appreciation for him
taking care of the house.

“You realize now you can't
move back in.“ Troy joked.

“Well. we could just remove
it." Todd said with a laugh.

After the unveiling, Todd
pulled out a small card from the
inside of his coat. The card.
which one of his assistants pre-
pares for him daily. was a com-
pressed schedule of his day.

He realized he had just
enough time to look around the
house before rushing to a meet-
ing. “1 don't get out here much.“
he said. eyeing his house.
“Maxwell's a pretty easy place
to live."

Nothing but memories line
the walls of “Camp Troy." A pic-
ture of Todd and Patsy's first
grade class. where they first
met. hangs by the basement
stairs. The two didn‘t start dat-
ing until they were juniors in
high school. though. because
Todd said he couldn't get up the
nerve to ask her out.

Two rooms over. in the pool-
room Todd designed, hangs an
old movie poster, with a draw—
ing of his favorite childhood
hero. “Las” La Rue. looking
tough.

 

cial incentives to continue re
searching and developing vac
cities were among the sugges~
tiotis ott‘ered

"be real concern we have
is that children who are turned
away won‘t come back or won‘t
be reached when vaccine sup-
plies are available." said Dr.
Walter ()rensteln. director oi~
the t‘l)("s national immuniza-
tioti program. "We're quite wor
t‘ied we might see the return of
stilllt‘ outbreaks."

House lawmakers have
asked the tientral \ctounting
Office to investigate thes hoit-
ages. which have many causes.

in the case of the tetanus
vaccine. WyethAyerst Labora-
tories unexpectedly left the

market last year. so Aventis
Pasteur is now the only tiiajor
supplier of tetanus shots in the
United States.

Demand has led to a short
age of the popular new vaccine
l’revnar. which fights the bac-
terium streptococcus pneumo»
niae. the leading cause of pneu-
nionta. meningitis and millions
ol‘ear infections every year in
children.

Still. drug companies and
experts believe the shortage
will end sometime this year.

Doctors "can't understand
how this country can have a
shortage." (‘ooper said. ”It's
destabilizing our vaccine effort
in a period of incredible. unpar-
alleled success."

 

Prior to a meeting concerning
cooperative extension, President
Todd conferred with M. Scott
Smith. the College of Agriculture
dean, and Larry Turner, the associ-
ate dean for extension, in the E. S.
Good Barn Friday.

Patsy Todd, laughs with her hus-‘
band as they dedicate their Hart-
land home to their son, Troy, 3
Patterson School graduate student.
Troy has been living in the house
and helping with upkeep since his
parents have moved on campus.

“It reminds me ot when I
worked in a drive-in theater. ' he
said. “I was a projectionist”

Lost in memories. Todd re
alized he had just a few minutes
to get to the ES. Good Barn.

which is part of the (‘ollege of

Agriculture. where he would be
speaking to 30 faculty members
about UK's role in state-wide
economic development.

The Todds hugged their son
and rushed out the door. Patsy
jumped in one car. Todd in an-
other. They would spend their
afternoons separately and meet
in the evening for dinner

vey of students, faculty and
staff The survey focuses on
how participants feel biking
can be improved on campus.

“The trustees are respon-
sive to the needs of the people.
We just have to be clear what
those needs are" said Brock.

Emalee Listerman. a land-
scape architecture junior. said
that bike access on campus
should be a priority.

“They need to find a way
to get bikes through Central
Campus. past the architecture
and engineering buildings and
all the way through to the
agriculture building." Listerv
man said.

The committee was found-
ed almost six years ago by civ-
il engineering professor Lisa
Aultman-Hall. who left ' UK
this summer. Aultman-Hall
placed the committee in the
hands of Brock and chemistry

professor Robert Grossman

Grossman said he plans to
ask for official committee sta-
tus. This would give the com-
mittee funding. allowing it to
become more active

One issue the coitimittee
dealt with recently was bicy-
cles and traffic laws.

The committee worked
with UK police to establish
that the department had the
authority to enforce tratTic
laws on bicyclists. Brock said
that the UKPD had been uti-
certain of their authority over
biking.

"This is an issue the com
mittee feels strongly about."
Grossman said. “We want to
make it easier for cyclists to
get on campus. but at the
same time make sure they're
following the law.”

Brock said promoting bi-
cycling on campus is essential
to UK's goals

"Other benchmark
schools promote bikes as
transportation on campus."
said Brock. “If we don't. it‘s
going to slow otir progress "
