Porgy, Patton

I discuss goals

By Stephen Trlmble

Senior Staff H’rirer

Do more with less. Or, at least
do with what you have.

That could be higher educa-
tion’s anthem for at least the next
four years no matter who is elect—
ed overnor.

iubernatorial candidates Larry
Porgy and Paul Patton gave the
I first glimpses of their agendas for
*1 higher education to about 300
l
r

 

university and college leaders at a
luncheon in Lexington yesterday.

And neither vision promises a 7

percent budget increase — or

i roughly 5] ()0 million — for high-

5 er education, as requested by the

j luncheon's hosts, the Kentucky
Advocates for Higher Education.

Each candidate acknowledged
that Kentucky’s higher education
system has taken unfair budget
cuts during the last decade.

Tax revenues and college
enrollments have increased dra-
matically since 1984, but state
support for higher education has
dro‘p ed. _
' hat must stop,” said Larry
Forgy, a Republican attorney
from Lexington. “This state can-
not progress without trained intel—
ligence and demonstrated compe—
tence."

But the advocates’ call for a 7
percent increase, which would ele-
vate Kentucky’s tax support for
higher education to the average
rate at benchmark states, is asking
too much, he said.

Forgy indicated that universi—

ties may be entitled to about $35
million of surplus money that will
be available during the 1996 Gen-
eral Assembly.

Forgy’s Democratic o ponent,
Lt. Gov. Patton, also istanced
himself from making any promises
about raising state-support for
Kentucky’s eight universities and
14 community colleges.

“1 will not write the budget in
the context of a political cam—
paign," said Patton, adding, “I will
not pander to any special interest
groups."

But Patton agreed with the
advocates that the state has not
adequately funded higher educa-
tion in the last decade.

“You’ve done a considerable
job, I'm asking you to do more,"
said Patton, a coal operator from
Pikeville.

As a business executive, Patton
said he spent his career learning
how to manage his com an effi-
ciently. Universities wou d t o well
to do the same, he said.

That includes expanding class-
room sizes and increasing long—
distance learning centers to
stretch higher education’s human
capital, he said.

He also suggested that public
institutions make more use of
their existing buildings instead of
asking the state to pay for new
construction protects.

“\Vc must change, we must
challenge, we must do better," he
said.

But that may not be entirely
without help from the state, he

Akido comes 0" big
SCI‘BBII TO UK class

By Brian Reed
Contributing H’riter
said.

The closest tie that most peo le

have to Akido is Steven Segal and his
vast array ofattion movdes.

Segal uses a form of martial arts
closely related to Akido. However, he
focuses on the violent aspect of the art.
Akidos’ main goal is not to hurt an
opponent but to resolve conflicts as
peacefully as possible. In fact, the
Japanese word Akido means harmony,
spirit and way.

At UK, Akido is a club sport avail—
able to the faculty, staffand students.

The club was started in 1985 by
Harry Sloan and two of his friends who
moved to Lexington from Louisville.
At the time, there were no available
Akido clubs in Lexington, so they sim-
ply started their own.

The club meets in the Alumni Gym
loft on Mondays and \Vednesdays at 8
pm. and on Sundays at I pm.

The classes have from eight to I3
people and there are no requirements
to join.

ability.

“You should know your
body and your limits,” Sloan

The classes begin with 15
minutes of intense stretching,
then move to drills and basic
movements.

These drills take place in
pairs, ensuring that newcom-
ers will receive the help they
need while the older members
can be with someone of equal

There is an obvious light
atmosphere in the class.

“\Ve want to have fun, we’ll
tell jokes and laugh,” he said.
“There isn’t a whole lot of dis—
cipline in Akido compared to
some other martial arts."

For some this could be a
negative aspect, but for begin—
ners it is a very comforting
and welcoming, Sloan said.

Mike Cundall, a psychology and
philosophy senior has been going to
the class for three years.

“I wanted to know how to deal with

Senate Council wants more input on study period proposals

By Jenniler Smith
Managing Fdiror

The University Senate Council wants a break-
down of what effect two proposed academic breaks
will have on the campus before it will approve them.

The two proposed breaks ~ a fall midterm break
and a reading period during each semester —- are
being investigated by the council and will be decided
on at its Monday meeting.

The council wants opinions and approvals from
the re istar’s office, Food Services, Residence Life
and K President Charles Wethington. Council
members said since the breaks could possibly alter
the UK academic calendar, these campus entities
must have input.

“We need reassuring words from all of these
places before we can make an educated decision,”
Senate Council Chairwoman Gretchen LaGodna
told student representatives who took the proposals
to the council.

Both breaks were endorsed by the Student Gov—
ernment Association Senate and the student body in
an election referendum last semester.

lfapproved, the midterm break would be held on
the first Monday and Tuesday of October.

The student representatives that presenter] the

d A .

proposal asked the council to notice that a break of
this kind is necessary to students because the fall
semester already has three more teaching days than
the spring and because students have 12 continuous
weeks of classes in the fall without a break.

“A midterm break would provide students with
adequate time to study for their midterms." said for—
mer SGA Executive Director of Academic Affairs Avi
Weitzman.

“Two days in the weekend before midterms is not
adequate time for anyone to study. A break would
hel students manage their stress levels."

The reading period would call for classes to can-
celled during the last two days of Dead Week. This
would 've students a four-day study break before
finals. 0 make up for the lost days, classes would
begin on Monday of each semester instead of
Wednesda .

Other than questioning the overall effects a break
would have on the University system, members of
the council also asked of the merits of such pro sals.

Michael Nietzel, a council member, asked e stu-
dent representatives wh ' they do not believe week-
ends are adequate enoug breaks.

Enid Waldhart, another member, said students at
her daughter's university that has similar breaks do
not take them as serious academic breaks.

q

“Be very much prepared to see these breaks be
nothing more than a holiday," “’aldhart said. “To
think that a whole student body will study isn't prob—
ably the best way to approach this."

TVeitzman said council members should take these
proposals seriously because they are in the best inter--
est of students regardless of what they do on their
break.

“For this to gain the greatest legitimacy, it needs a
concerted approval from everyone — the Senate, the
faculty and the students," he said.

Maurice Morrison, one of the Senate Council's
student members, told the council he thought it
should individually vote on the two break proposals.

He agreed that it is fine to wait and investigate the
reading period because it will effect the calendar and
the groups the council wants to consult.

However, he said, since the midtenn break would
not, it could already be voted on without wasting the
council's excess time and energy.

The council did not agree. And said really there is
no urgency to immediately vote on either proposal.
One reason is that the full Senate does not meet until
next month.

The second reason is because the UK calendar is
set up to seven semesters from now and any changes
cannot be made until then.

Tailhaek Williams is

workhorse tor till 3

By Jason Dattilo

Spam} 2t/Itiil‘

\Vhen Ray McLaurin claimed
the No. 1 spot in UK's stable of
tailbacks earlier this season, it
looked as if Moe \Villiams, the
workhorse of the \Vildcats’
offense for the past two seasons,
might log some time on the pine.

Any such notion was laid to rest
in the (Iats' 17—10 victory over the
Indiana Hoosiers last Saturday, a
game where \Villiams car-
ried the ball a school—
record 36 times.

“We all know what kind
of player Moe is, and he
showed us again on Satur—
day,” UK head coach Bill
Curry said yesterday at his
weekly news luncheon,

“but ideally you’d rest him Williams

more than that. I don’t
want him carrying the ball in
times every game — maybe 32."
McLaurin, who lost his status
as most—favored tailback following
the Louisville game, was slowed
by an ankle injury against the
Hoosiers and couldn't provide
\Villiams with much assistance.
The departure of Donnell (ior—
don two weeks ago and an ankle
sprain suffered by tailback Michael
\Voodfotk, also helped reduce
UK‘s backfield once brimming

 

with bodies, to a one- man show.

“I hope we can play (McLaurin)
more and not have Aloe getting
pounded all the time, "C urry said

But so far \Villiams has been up
to the task of carrying the VVild-
cats‘ running game on his shoul—
ders. In the [U game he rushed for
124 yards and a touchdown, which
was enough to make South (Iaroli—
na coach Brad Scott to take notice.

“You really got to be impressed
with the way Moe \Villiams is run~
ning,” said Scott, whose
Gamecocks play host to
UK Saturday.

Actually VVilliams' stats
could have been much
more flashy if blitzing IU
defenders were kept out of
the (Iats’ backfield.

“It’s a fact that when
people come and line up at
the line ofscrimrnage with
that many folks you’ve got to be
1ble to throw and catch to loosen
(the defense) 11p so the backs have
more running room, ”(. urrys said.

Expect the UK coaching staff
to stress consistency in the passing
attack, but don't count on seeing
an increased number of throws in
the coming weeks.

"\Ve felt like we were short-
changing ourselves by not getting
the ball in the hands of our tail—
backs more," Curry said.
