The resolu- tion, proposed by SGA Senator at Large Allen Putman, says that a fair and ac- countable stu- dent representa- tive is needed on UK’s 10- person presi- dential search committee. Putman, who is chairman of the Senate Campus Relations Commit- tee, said that he wrote the resolu- tion to ensure “fair representation" of the student body. If the resolution is passed, it will be considered by the SGA Senate next week and, if passed, given to the UK Board of Trustees. “In order to set an important precedent the student body presi- dent shall always be considered the primary and most qualified to voice the concerns of students,” Putman wrote in the resolution. The search committee is com— posed of five UK trustees, three fa- culty members, a community col- PUTMAN lege representative and one UK stu- dent. Faculty members elect their rep- resentatives and the community college delegate is elected the same way. But Board of Trustees Chair- man Foster Ockennan chooses the UK student representative. Putman said students he talked to “don’t want to be on the short end of the stick as far as getting a presi- dent” and would prefer having someone like Lohman represent their opinions instead of any other student. “It’s an insurance policy," Put- man said. “We’re not saying it‘s not going to be fair with Sean not on the main thing is, students need a fair, accountable representa- tive. We’re not trying to tell Mr. Ockennan how to do his job." Ockennan could not be reached for comment. Students are still upset over not having a representative serve on the search committee that recommend- ed interim president Charles Weth- ington, Putman said. 1986-87 SGA President Donna Greenwell was on the selection committee that picked David Ro— selle in 1987, and having this year’s SGA president on the search committee is just as important, Put- man said. “Someone elected is accountable and responsible, and has the best interests of the student body at heart,” Putman said. UK launches media effort to get support from public By DAVID A. HALL Staff Writer UK has implemented an aggres- sive media campaign aimed at mo- bilizing public support for higher education. The “UK is Worth It" campaign, which was put together by UK‘s public relations department, in- cludes two television spots, two ra- dio spots and print advertisements. The statewide campaign began Jan. 8 and will continue through April it “The campaign is meant to build grassroots support for higher edu— cation proposals brought to the leg- islature," said Bernie Vonderheide, director of UK information. “So when a legislator votes for a propo- sal, he understands the needs of the University.” The campaign was funded from private sources, Vonderheide said. The spots will be aired for free in 10 television markets and on 90 ra- dio stations through a contractual agreement Host Communications “The campaign is meant to build grassroots support for higher education proposals brought to the legislature.” Bernie Vonderheide, UK spokesperson — has with UK basketball and foot- ball games. In addition to the Host contract, Lexington television stations WKYT-27 and WLEX—IS have agreed to air the spots as public ser- vice announcements, and the Ken- tucky Network will carry the spots on radio stations statewide.

Page 2 Leukemia patient hopes to find transplant at Medical Center By ROBERT NORMAN Staff Writer JoAnne Johnson arrived at the UK Albert B. Chandler Medical Center Monday hoping for better news than she had in Washington, DC. While a freshman at Brown Uni- versity last year, Johnson, 19. was diagnosed as having leukemia. Monday afternoon she was flown in to the UK Med Center from Georgetown University Hospital where she is scheduled to undergo testing to determine if she will be able to withstand a bone marrow transplant operation. 1‘] ERS‘ Back at Johnson's hometown of Silver Spring, Md., friends, family and community volunteers are working around the clock to find a donor if she becomes a candidate. “We have been setting up centers at schools in the area to test for a match,” said Marion Hull, a Save JoAnne Committee volunteer. “We‘ve tested for potential donors at several sites and turnout has been great at all those places." The work that the more than 100 volunteers have done has drawn na- tional attention to Johnson’s case. Included among the thousands of people who have been tested for a bone marrow transplant include the Rev. Jesse Jackson, who also has contributed funds to help support the drive and to pay for Johnson's medical expenses. “Jackson has definitely helped the family as well as inducing ap- peal for donors," said Dr. Thomas Spitzer, who treated Johnson at Georgetown University’s hospital. “It is really encouraging to see the community come together for sole- ly altruistic purposes." “Everyone who has contributed has been very important," Hull said. “We've gotten calls from all over the country from people want- ing to know where they could go to get a local screening." 0N8 Interim director oversees UK Art Museum.

Wildcats break losing streak with 89-81 win over Gators. Story. Page 4. 2 — Kentucky Karnal, Thursday, January 11, 1990 Amelatad Prue FRANKFURT, Ky. - Gov. Wallace Wilkinson said yester‘ day that he wants the General Assembly to commit to sell more than $771 million in bonds during the next four years to Ti- nance various transportation, tourism and development pro- jects. But Wilkinson, who criticized what he called a “credit-card mentality" in state government during his campaign. insisted that such financing was not prof- ligate spending. “The difference would be a teen-tiger going to the shopping center with a credit card and a planned-for mortgage on a home," Wilkinson said. Wilkinson said his total Gen- eral Fund budget would commit only between 5.7 percent and 5.9 percent for debt service. Road Fund debt service would Wilkinson to ask lawmakers to sell $771 million in bonds rise from the current level of about 15 percent of total expen- ditures to about 24 percent. Transportation Secretary Milo D. Bryant said that is still below the historical level of about 31 percent The biggest chunk of the bonds would be for Wilkinson's well-known wish for $600 mil. lion for nine selected road pro- jects. The governor said $300 mil- lion would be sold during the 1990-92 budget period and the remaining $300 million in 1992- 94. “We never build major roads with cash,” Wilkinson said. Wilkinson acknowledged the legislature cannot commit itself to a future bond sale. “We‘ll try to get a resolution passed saying that once we start on these roads, they’ll be fin- ished," Wilkinson said. PIZZA Student Center Bookstore contract up for rebidding By ALLEN D. GREER Staff Wr'ner A contract to operate the UK Stu- dent Center Bookstore will be up for bid sometime in early next month, according to Allen Rieman, UK auxiliary services director. UK's purchasing division has sent a proposed biding document to about 20 vendors who operate col- lege bookstores, Rieman said. The document outlines the kinds of ser— vices the vendor is expected to pro- vide and explains the bidding pro- cess. UK is asking the vendors to re— view the document to determine if any areas of the bid process need to be clarified. The vendors have until Jan. 20 to make suggestions or comments about the proposal. UK will then review the suggcs‘ tions and make any necessary changes, Rieman said. Sometime during the first two weeks of Feb— ruary. the revised contract will be distributed along with an invitation pAI’AJOI-Ill’s Delivering the Perfect Pizza Serving the UK Campus Open for lunch 233-0808 Not valid with any other offer Limited Delivery Area Extended Hours 433 Jersey Behind TWO Keys Tavern r' ------------ T ——————————— "I 1 Large 1 -Topping Pizza $5.95 exp. 1/18/90 1 Small 1 -Topping Pizza $4.95 exp. 1/18/90 L _____________ _l_ ____________ _.I to bid. which officially opens the bidding process. The three-year contract contains a clause that gives the vendor the option of extending for another three years. Rieman said. it will be awarded on the basis of two factors — the amount of money the vendor will pay for the contract, and ser- vices provided. The Follett Corp. of Chicago has operated the UK bookstore since July 1, 1984. Follett‘s contract ex- pires June 30. UK operated the bookstore be- fore 1984. but got out of the busi- ness because “at that particular point in time, we could make more money off of it by contracting it," Rieman said. Follett pays UK about $600,000 a year to lease the bookstore, Rie- man said. UK deducts utilities, maintenance and debt service from the $600,000, placing the remain- der in scholarship funds. Follett Corp. operates library data bases and has about 270 col- lege bookstores in the United States, according to UK Bookstore manager Paul Little. STEVE SANDERS/Kornol Stall UK will be taking bids this year to operate the bookstore in the Stu- dent Center. The Follett Corp. currently runs the business. Want 30,000 People to Get Your Message?

Harriet Fowler, curator of the UK museum, stepped in as interim di- rector. This marks the second time that Fowler has served as the museum’s interim director. Fowler was named as the acting director in 1982 before Hennessey was hired for the permanent post. “In early ’82, Priscilla Colt. who was the director at the time, re- signed,” Fowler said. “At that time I knew that I had no interest in the permanent position, but I was hold- ing the fort for that period before they got a permanent director, who was of course Bill Hennessey." Fowler said she is more interested in the permanent position this time, adding, “Cenainly it‘s a much more comfortable position at this point." UK Chancellor for the Lexington Campus Robert Hemenway is ex- pected to conduct a national search for a permanent director. No date has been set when a new director is expected to be named. While serving as the art mu- seum's first curator, Fowler worked extensively with Hennessey. “As curator, for years I’ve been involved with many of the deci— sions that the director has made,” she said. Before coming to UK Fowler worked at the Herbert F. Johnson Museum at Cornell University. At Cornell, Fowler earned her doctorate in art history. During her tenure as acting direc- tor, Fowler said she plans to con- tinue with the museum’s programs and if she can recruit a larger sup- pon staff, she wants to implement several new ideas. “The general word is let’s grow,” she said. “I‘m going to try to have a well-balanced variety of exhibi- tions. We're going to be having some unusual works next fall —— which I’ll be announcing shortly — ones that haven’t really been done here before.” Although Fowler acknowledged that getting more staff may not be easy, more workers would allow the museum to offer more services to the community. “(I’m) sure that (the lack of staff members) is the lament all over the University with everyone building strong, far-reaching programs and running them on a small, hard- working staff,” she said. “This is not an unusual complaint, but it’s something that I would love to do -— have more staff and more money to keep doing these things.” One of the museum’s programs that Fowler has seen develop is the Docens Program. The Docens Program, which was developed by Kerry Zack under Hennessey’s direction, is composed of volunteers that lead tours of the UK Art Museum. The program has 50 volunteers that meet for weekly training ses- sions with scholars and other pro- fessionals at the museum. “That program has certainly out- reach into the entire community,” Fowler said. “We're a museum for the University, but we’re also one for the whole area.” And Fowler said that the commu- nity is getting a quality museum. “We're smaller in size (than metro- politan museums), but I believe that our programs and our exhibi- tions can hold their own with abso- lute best.” There have been many notable exhibits at the museum while Fowler has worked at UK but she lists the Armand Hammer exhibit as one of her favorites. “It was very gratifying to see 100.000 people come through our doors in eight weeks’ time," she said. “It was good to watch people come into the museum and say, ‘Oh my!’ You could tell that they were really knocked out by them." Harriet Fowler, interim director for the UK Art Museum, stands in front of an exhibit titled “The Presence of Absence,” which opens Sunday and will run through March 4. Kb Burma Arts Editor Cinemark to give viewers a choice By KlP BOWMAR Arts Editor Lexington moviegoers will have a wider selection of movies to choose from beginning tomor- row. Cinemark, the nation's seventh largest movie theater chain. will open 16 movie screens at two lo- cations tomorrow. All but one of Lexington‘s 26 other movie screens are owned by the Loews chain, which operates about 820 screens nationwide. The other screen is the Worsharn Theater. Cinemark officials are hoping that their low movie prices —7 SS for a regular show, which is $1 cheaper than Loews — will attract Lexington residents. Cinemark also may reserve one of its Lexington screens for artis- tic, forcign and off-beat films to fill the void left when the Ken- tucky closed down two years ago. “We plan to provide the best service, with the best product and have repeat business," said Phil Zacheretti, promotions director for Cinemark USA, Inc. “But we don‘t have a set goal for market percentage or a dollar amount." The theaters are located near heavily developed areas: Man O’ War Movies 8 is located on Rich- mond Road and Lexington Green Movies 8 is in the Lexington Green Mall. Although it‘s not clear if Lex- ington will be able to support 42 movie screens, Zacheretti says that he is confident about Cinemark's future in Central Kentucky . “We don‘t think we‘re saturating market," he said. “Our research showed that Lexington is a good moviegoing town. We’re offering a wider choice and showing several movies that have not played here and would not have played. We‘ll increase the moviegoing audience and not split the pic." Zacheretti's statement is streng- thened by the fact that Hollywood had a record year at the box off ice, bringing in more than $5 billion last year. In addition to lower ticket prices, Cinemark also is bringing a num- ber of innovations to the market, such as a computerized ticket ser- vice and extensive refreshments ser- vices that will include hot dogs and nachos.

January 11, 1900 SPORTS STEVE SANDERS/Kernel Stall Deron Feldhaus goes up for two against Livingston Chatman (32) and Stacey Poole (22) in the first half of last night's game. Sports Editor Gators tamed by second half blitz as Wildcats cruise to 89-81 victory By BARRY REEVES Sports Editor Florida coach Don DeVoe had a plan going into last night’s game against UK: If his team got down in the final minutes, the Gators were to foul UK guard Sean Woods. DeVoe was playing the averages. Entering the game, Woods was hit— ting a miserable 20 of 38 free throws (52.6 percent) on the season and only 5 of 15 in Southeastern Conference play. But last night Woods put all of that behind him and cooly sank 1() of 12 from the charity stripe in the final 2:58 of the game to give the Wildcats an 89-81 win over Flori- da The loss dropped the Gators to 5— 5 on the season and 1-2 in the con- ference. The win broke a UK five- game losing streak as the Wildcats raised their record to 67 overall and 2-2 in the SEC. “I‘ve been working on (my free throw shooting) all week,“ Woods said. “I am the ball-handler and 1 had to start hitting those free throws. After I hit my first two, I didn’t think about it. I just went up and buried them." “We knew he (Woods) was not a good free throw shooter. but he sure did hit them tonight." Florida forward Livingston Chatman said. For the game. Woods hit 12 of 16 free throws and 4 of 7 field goals for a game-high 20 poian. Woods also handed out five assists. Asked if he thought Florida was trying to foul him in the final min- utes, Woods said: “It wasn‘t planned like that. 1 just stepped up and knocked them down." And when Florida swayed from their game plan and fouled some of UK's better free throw shooters ~— Derrick Miller, John Pelphrey and Reggie Hanson — it worked even better. Miller, who was shooting 81.1 percent from the line, was 0-2. Hanson (71.1 percent) was 0-1 and Pelphrey (73.6 percent) was 0-2 in the final three minutes. For the game, the Cats hit just 27 of 45 free throws, but they shot 18 more than Florida. “1 don’t think anybody from Kentucky can complain about free throw shooting,” DeVoe said.

Pitino said he was glad the team snapped their losing streak before a Rupp Arena crowd. “We wanted a win so badly (that) we got nervous at the end," Pitino said. I am really, really excited with the win.” Pitino said he would not have been concerned if UK had lost. “Honestly. it wouldn’t have been a problem, but they put pressure on themselves to win tonight and stop this pain," he said. The win was just as important to UK’s players. “It felt great,” Hanson said. “Any time you are losing, it doesn‘t feel good. 1 know we had to get the vic- tory. We had to get our momentum going to LSU.“ DeVoe blamed the loss on his team’s poor ball-handling skills. “In the final analysis, not being able to handle the ball put us in the position to lose the game," he said. When Stacey Poole hit a 15-foot bank shot with 18:54 remaining in the game, the Gators took their biggest lead at 46—42. Then Florida went cold from the field and the Cats took full advantage. Woods hit two layups, one off a Hanson steal, to tie the score at 46 with 18:28. Then Pelphrey, who scored 16 points, hit one of his three three—pointers to give UK the lead at 4948. After the Gators cut the lead to 52—51 on a three-point play by Dwayne Davis, who scored 13 points and grabbed 11 rebounds, UK ran off the next six points. Hanson. who had 19 points, then dunked the ball when he slipped Da- vis in the paint. and the Cats led 58-51 with 14:08 remaining. The Gators then started finding the Dwayne Schintzius, a 7—2 senior center, in their offense and he re- plied by scoring 11 of Florida's next 13 points to tie the score at 72 with 3:57 left in the game. “We were uying to keep the ball out of his hands. We doubled- down on him quickly so he couldn't move," Pitino said. “But he got very aggressive on offense and we couldn’t double as easi- 1y." On UK’s next possession, Miller sank two free throws and then Han— son hit one of his two three point- ers to give the Cats a 77-72 lead with 3:33 remaining. Then the Gators started their foul- ing streak where Woods was fouled two times, then Pelphrey and Woods two more times. Woods hit 7-8 of the free throws to give UK a 84-76 lead with 1:30 remaining. In the first half. the Cats shot a frigid 38.2 percent front the field, while Florida shot 53.3. but UK was able to hang in the game and trailed only 42-40 at the half. Something that UK had not counted on was the shooting of re- serve guard Brian Hogan. Hogan came off the bench and hit a 4-5 three-pointers late in the first half to boost the Gators to their two-point halftime lead. Florida turned the ball over 24 times to UK‘s 13 (only three in the second half). DeVoe credited it to UK's tenacious defense. Need a new Place? find one in the Kernel Classifieds Phone: Need A Room?
