Basketball museum could be history

Searching for answers: Attendance
lower than anticipated, debts mounting

By Chris Markus
STAFF WRITER

The new millennium
may be tnore of an end
than a beginning for the
UK Basketball Museum.

The museum. which
houses exhibits that docu-
ment the history of Ken-
tucky‘s “Team of the Cen-
tury." is trying to ﬁnd a so-
lution to solve its money
and popularity problems.

Faced with a debt of
about $2 million and lack

ing the anticipated number
of visitors. the museum is
meeting with city officials
to try to solve its financial
problents.

Mike Durham. the mu-
seum's executive director.
said that although discus-
sions with city officials
have yet to produce any
specific proposals. he
hopes that at least a partial
solution may be found by
early 2001).

secretary to the mayor’s of-

Pam Miller about the meet-
ings between the city and
the museum.

“We're still in the pre~
liminary stages and are
just now starting to take a
hard look at the numbers.“
she said. She added that
the city is “very active and
interested in the museum
being a success."

Durham said the muse-
um needs to promote itself
better in order to connect
with the community and
tourism officials, so the
museum can become a big--
ger tourist attraction.
While the museum attract—
ed about 2.000 people on

which pitted the 1996 team

against the 1998 team. the

museum may only play
host on slow (lays to about
24 visitors.

“We need to try to find
a way to get the word out."
Durham said.

Although meetings be»
tween the city and the 11111-
seum are the latest result
of the nonproﬁt museum‘s
financial woes. Durham
said that money issues
have been a problem since
before the museum opened
last February.

“We‘ve been somewhat
behind the eight ball for a
few years now." he said.

Turmoil at the
Student Center

STAFF REPORT

UK students and members of UK Lambda clashed with a minister
from Newark Ohio yesterday when the minister demonstrated against
homosexuals at the Free Speech Lawn' in front of the Student Center.

Bystanders said at one point the confrontation turned violent when
Masten C hilders a history senior confronted Charles Spingola a mem-
ber of Unashamed and Associates “ a religious group based in Newark.

Ohio.

Childers said he was outraged by signs Spingola displayed that read
“Friends don‘t let friends he homosexuals" and “Gay.. Got AIDS yet?"
and by the minister s decimation of 1115' righteous hatred" f01 homosexu—

als

Childers said the minister responded to his defense of homosexuals
by saying. “Obviously you didn’t have a father figure to spank you and

teach you what‘ 5 right "

The discussion then became physical as Childers knocked the Bible
out of Spingola’ 5 hand. Spingola returned by physically hitting Childei s.

“I did something I probably shouldn‘ t have done. He made a complete
jackass of himself I made my point and he looked like a jackass,"

Childers said.

Childers ﬁled only verbal complaints at the UK and Lexington police

departments.

Professor named president of national
higher education association

John Thelin becomes first UK
representative to head organization

By Amanda York
ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR

The Association for
the Study of Higher Educa
tion recently elected UK
professor John Thelin to
serve as president of the
organization.

The association is a
national organization that
consists of all the doctoral
programs and research
centers in the nation that
are focused on the study of
higher education.

Thelin said the nomi-
nation took him by sur-
prise because he hadn't
sought the nomination.

“It was totally by sur-
prise because I got the
phone call from the person
who was president at that
time. I thought he was call-
ing to remind me about a

book I had borrowed from
him a couple of years back
and he asked me if I would
be willing to stand for the
election." he said.

Thelin is the ﬁrst fac-
ulty member of UK to
serve as president of the
organization.

He said the organiza
tion consists of many
prominent doctoral pro‘
grams from across the
country. including UCLA.
Harvard. Big Ten univer-
sities and researchers
from the Carnegie Foun-
dation.

The organization has
around 2,000 members and
about 60 doctoral pro-
grams. he said.

“Every year the board
sends out their national
newsletter and they solicit
nominations. The board

members have a nomina-
tion committee and they
tear down the ballot to five
or six choices and the
members send in their
choices." he said. "You are
being chosen by your fel-
low members."

While in office. Thelin
will plan and organize the
annual conference in Cali-
fornia next November
where members partici-
pate in symposiums. dis-
cussion groups and pre-
sentations on a variety of
issues dealing with higher
education.

Thelin hopes his role
as president will assist UK
in its attempt to gain na-
tional recognition. and
that UK has already made
a step in this direction by
becoming a Class I
Carnegie Research Univer»
sity.

This method of catego-
rizing is relatively new

and will affect UK and oth-
er universities. Thelin
said.

“It‘s a technical
change but it will have im-
portance for how a univer~
sity measures itself. de~
ﬁnes itself and how we
compare ourselves." The-
lin said.

While in ofﬁce. Thelin
hopes to bring the impor-
tance of higher

education to a variety
of disciplines.

“We are trying to real-
ly expand discussions
where we bring discipline
such as history, econom-
ics. law and political sci-
ence to look at the serious
study of higher educa-
tion." he said.

Edward Kifer. a pro-
fessor in the department of
educational policy studies
and evaluation at UK. said
he thinks Thelin‘s role in
the organization will also
bring attention to UK.

“It certainly is a posi-
tive reﬂection on the per-
son and that reﬂects posi-
tively on the organization
as well.“ Kifer said.

It was totally by surprise because I got the phone call
from the person who was president at that time. I
thought he was calling to remind me about a book I
had borrowed from him a couple of years back and
he asked me if I would be willing to stand for the

election.”

Money on the web: Studentmarket.com
offers student loans over the internet

By Melissa Little
CONTRIBUIING WRITER

Student Market.com has
figured out how to take ad
vantage of two big businesses:
the Internet and student
loans.

The website offers stu-
dent loans without the hassle
of paperwork and conve-
nience of the web, a combina-
tion ()ren Milogram. director
of student affairs at Student-
Marketcom and one of the
original founders of the com-
pany. thinks will payoff.

“Millions of students are
wanting to go to college. and
this was a way to support
that.“ Milogram said.

Melissa Chapman. an
agriculture communication
senior. has taken out loans
from UK and a rotary club to
pay for college. and admits
the loan process is confusing.
Chapman said her parents
complete the paperwork.

“I just sign the forms."
Chapman said.

Despite the confusion
over student loan process,
Chapman knows one thing for

sure:

“I know that if] don‘t pay
I will be reported to the credit
bureau." she said.

Students. he said. face
two problems when applying
for loans: They take out too
much money. and they don't
pay on time.

Milogram hopes the goal
of the company to make the
loan process easier while em<
phasizing the importance of
credit and savings to students

~ will catch on.

The accessibility of the
Internet has helped the com-
pany gain popularity with col-
lege students, he said.

While searching the In-
ternet. the student can be pre-
approved for a loan in just
minutes. They will receive
the application form from the
lender in the mail.

Besides loans. Student
Marketcom offers students
test preparation software. in-
ﬂatable furniture. casual
clothing. picture frames and
more.

“I am always looking for
solutions to calm problems."
he said. “We are pooling re-
sources online and bringing
everything in one place for
college students.“

ACLU

Continued from paqet

gether for a common cause."
Blessing said.

Recent events in Kentucky
as well as in the nation have
concemed the ACLU.

“When we see things like
the Ten Commandments in

schools. I really feel that is a
strong ACLU issue." she said.

Like the national group.
the UK chapter wants to be a
voice for people whose rights
may be abused.

“A lot of times we repre-
sent the underrepresented
women, homosexuals and peo-
ple who have been discrimi-
nated against because of race."
Talbert said.
