Library
director
resigns

By HEIDI PROBST
Staff Writer

Tim Sineath, former dean of UK's
(‘ollege of Library Sciences. said his
decision to resign was not easy to
make because he had found the ex-
perience rewarding.

“I resigned because it has been
long enough and I would like to re-
turn to teaching.“ Sineath said.

Several professors in the college
said they are eager for the lead-
ership under a new dean.

‘It‘s time for a change in lead-
ership." said Larry Allen. a library
sciences professor. “In fact. the
change is a little overdue. The fac-
ulty has been asking for stronger.
more dynamic leadership. This has
been in the wind for some time."

Joann Rogers, another professor.
echoed Allen‘s comments.

"We are looking forward to a new
dean to give a better leadership.“
she said.

However. Sineath said the library
sciences program had accomplished
a lot with his leadership but had suf-
fered financial difficulty because the
University had to make budget cuts.

He said the most significant ac-
complishment was the recognition of
the Board of Trustee‘s change in the
scope of the college to include infor-
mation science.

“This provides the context in
which we will chart the future of the
college and its programs,“ Sineath
said.

He said that the college had just
been evaluated by the University
and was in sound condition.

Rogers said that the question of
the program's leadership was raised
in a unit review.

“There‘s one leader. so if ques-
tions of leadership were raised then
they must have been of him (Si-
neath).“shesaid.

Rogers said a review was done a
year ago and the results were given
in summary form to the faculty.

Chancellor for the Lexington Cam-
pus Art Gallaher. who was in charge
of reviewing the college. said he
could not give any information about
the review.

“Sineath gave me a letter of resig-
nation. which I accepted." was all
Gallaher said.

Rogers said that a search commit-
tee had been formed by Gallaher in
conjunction with the senate council
and that the search had begun.

Today is a national holiday that
UK students in the chemistry de-
partment have anxiously awaited ——
National Chemistry Day. It is also
the 75th anniversary of the Lexing-
ton Section of the American Chemi-
calSociety.

The celebration. which is being
held in the chemistry department of
UK. is featuring several events.

The events started last night with
a talk by Anna J. Harrison. past-
president of the American Chemical
Society. whose topic was: “The Role
of the Citizen in Determining the Di-
rection and Rate of Development of
Chemistry, Engineering and Tech
nology.“

A number of events are planned
for today and are open to the public.
These events include a tour of the
UK chemistry department. a poster
contest. glassblowing. a chemical
demonstration and a laser demon-
stration. to name a few.

The poster contest is for high
school and undergraduate students.
The theme of the posters are chem—
istry and everyday life; prizes will
be given for the best posters.

The glassblowing demonstration

Kissinger answers questions
posed by high school students

By C.A. DUANE BONIFER
Editorial Editor

When Henry Kissinger was a
member of the Nixon and Ford ad-
ministrations. he learned that it was
easier to find solutions for foreign
policy crisis when you‘re a professor
than when you‘re a policymaker.

“When you‘re a professor, you
have all the time in the world. You
can pick your problems and work as
long as you want on them.“ Kissin-
ger said. “The overwhelming prob-
lem of the policymaker is that he
has an overwhelming number of
problems to choose from. You can‘t
have an experiment and then go
back to the library. . . . Your mis-
takes are irrevocable.“

Yesterday. Kissinger spoke to
about 1.100 Fayette County high
school juniors and seniors at Trans-
ylvania University and offered his
solutions to some of the foreign poli-
cy dilemmas facing the current
presidential administration.

Following a short speech to the
audience. the former secretary of

state fielded questions from the au-
dience.

One of the first questions asked
concerned the Reagan administra-
tion‘s possible approach to the su-
perpower summit. scheduled for
Dec. 7 in Washington. to discuss the
removal of intermediate and short-
er-range nuclear missin from Eu-
rope.

In the first place. Kissinger. who
also served as assistant to the presi-
dent for national security. said he
does not think the heads of govern-
ments should meet together to sign
agreements because there is a risk
of a deadlock or a misunderstand
ing.

Instead. he said major
agreements should be signed by offi-
cials in the government who have a
better understanding of the subject.

The agreement almost reached at
Reykjavik summit between Presi-
dent Reagan and Soviet General
Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev last
year was an example of the danger
of going to a summit unprepared.
Kissinger said.

At Reykjavik. Kissinger said the
Reagan administration made the
mistake to meet with the Soviets
after only a today notice.

”Gorbachev came waltzing into
that summit and presented a propo-
sal in which the context we did not
ever hear about.“ he said. “I think
what we should have done was said.
‘Thank you.‘ and say. ‘Now we're
going home to study it.‘ "

When Reagan and Gorbachev
meet for a third time next month.
Kissinger said the United States
should be careful not to make cer-
tain concessions that could harm the
United States national security. in-
cluding the president's Strategic De-
fense Initiative. popularly known as
“Star Wars.“

If the United States can deploy
SDI. a president would have more
options to choose from if confronted
with a major crisis. Kissinger said.

“There's something grotesque
about the way to conduct arms con-
trol is to do away with the weapons
that do away with weapons." he

LOUISVILLE — Students at Ken-
tucky's eight universities will not
face a midyear tuition increase in
January as a result of a unanmioiis
decision yesterday by the state
Council on Higher Education.

The CHE was considering the mid-
ycar tuition increase as an attempt
to offset a projected $9.4 million
shortfall in funding for higher cdua-
tion next year.

However. in the next two years tu-
ition rates will increase 3 to 4 per-
cent. For l'K students. that will
mean a $20 tuition increase next
year and a $10 increase the follow
ing year.

lnstate students at UK currently
pay $706 in tuition each semester

Since 1982. tuition has been set by
the council every two years after
comparing tuition at other bench-
mark institutions aiid examining the
state's per capita income.

For months the council has been
looking for ways to offset a possible
shortfall in funding for higher edu
cation.

Along with the midyear tuition-in
crease proposal. the (THE was also
considering a change in the Illlil0n~
setting policy to dcal with budget
problems.

In the last two months the (‘HE
held three hearings — at UK. West
ern Kentucky t'nivcrsity and Ash-
land Community (‘ollcge __ to gath-
er input about the two proposals.

At the hearings representatives
from almost every facet of universi-
ty life unanimously canic out
against both a midyear tuition lIl-
crease and a change in the tuition,
setting policy.

The council estimated that about
600 people attended the hearings,

Detractors of the two proposals
said student financial aid would not
be able to compensate for a midyear
tuition increase.

In addition. the current tuition-sch
ting policy measures the state‘s
“ability to pay” for higher educa—
tion. opponents of the changing the
proposal said. A change in the policy
would severely impact many stu-
dents‘ access to universities and
community colleges.

As a result of the overwhelming
response. little discussion was given
to the two proposals before being rt»
jcctcd at yesterday‘s meeting

But two months ago the council's
student representative. David Hol
ton. said he thought students would
have to face a drastic change in the
way tuition is set.

UK program brings area adults back to classroom

By ROBERT WELLER
Contributing Writer

UK has been reaching out to
adults who want to continue their
education after working hours but
need to know where and how to
begin this process.

“UK Comes To You" is an adult
information program that travels to
the workplace. The program is one
of the first of its kind. said Susan
Byars. director of Academic Support
Services for Adults. It. along with
other adultoriented programs spon-
sored by the University, has swelled
the ranks of adult students at UK to
29 percent of the total student enroll-
ment.

“Many industries offer their em-

ployees tuition reimbursements and
our goal is to go into the workplace
with information that will pique the
imagination and help adults realize
that they can continue their educa-
tion even if they work full time."
Byars said.

Begun in 1934 and co-sponsored by
Academic Support Services in Uni-
versity Extension and the Admis-
sions Office. “UK Comes To You"
arranges group meetings for inter-
ested adults. These workshops are
held at company sites during lunch
hours. at the end of the work day
and at other times arranged by per-
sonnel managers.

“Some companies allow employ-
ees time off during the day to come
to one of these workshops but others

ask us to schedule the workshops
after work.“ sail Byars. “Here
these people have worked all day
and they'll still come in at 4:30 or 5
o'clock and stay and listen to an
hour‘s program."

Participating companies have in-
cluded Ashland Oil. Clark Equip
ment. CommerceNational Bank.
GTE-Sylvania. and several area hos-
pitals.

At the end of the workshop. partic-
ipants are encouraged to keep in
touch and many do.

"They‘re excited about this."
Byars said. “and lots of times they
feel real support from their compa-
nies. It’s a gratifying thing."

Barb Troyer. vice-president and
personnel manager of CommerceNa-

tional Bank. has been enthusiastic
about the program from the start.

“We try to do this for the employ-
ees once a year.“ said Troyer. “It
gives them an opportunity to talk to
someone about their educational
needs."

She said people who don‘t have a
college degree are somewhat timid
and don‘t know where to go for in-
formation. "This program helps
them to get their foot in the door. It
lets them know there‘s someone
they can call for advice.“

Kathy Taylor. an employee of
CommerceNational. attended a “UK
Comes To You“ workshop and has
since attended classes at the Univer-
sity.

“The workshop was really helpful.

I didn‘t realize all the alternatives to
traditional classes." said Taylor.

Most adult students who return to
class are successful

“They tend to come in here well-
motivated.“ said Ken Freedman. an
adult adviser “This makes our job
easier. They're more serious snd
they make good students.”

Freedman said that 18- to myear-
old traditional students often put
more effort into “developing social
skills“ than into their studies,

"For non-traditional students.
sometimes taking courses or work-
ing on their degree is the major goal
in their life at that time.“ he said.

Viewpoint

Contra supporters should take off their rose-colored glasses

After reading the guest column by
Roger D. Ford titled ”Nicaragua
buildup needs U.S. attention" in the
Nov. 4 issue. I could not determine
whether the piece was meant to be
sarcastic and humorous or serious
and informative. Either way. how-
ever. no such response was rendered
from this reader and for two rea-
sons:

1) I have been to Nicaragua and
have made a hobby of studying the
entire Central American region. Re-
alizing how serious the situation is. I
can hardly laugh about it.

21 There is quite a lot of misinfor-
mation and shallow thinking evi-
denced in the column

Offering no evidence that he has
travelled to Nicaragua or outside
the United States. as is reflected in
his ethnocentric viewpoint. making
the regional problems the problems
of the East and West. I will presume
that Mr. Ford had done neither and
chalk up his shortsightedness to his
lack of experience. This shortsigh-
tedness is best indicated by his sim-
plistic notion of what democracy is
(simplistic for a political science
major): The ability to use an absen-
tee ballot for voting. Does Mr. Ford
know that according to international
human rights groups that the elec-
tions in November of 1984 in Nicara-
gua were considered fair and rela-

tively free from corruption? This, in
comparison to El Salvador, where
voting is not only a privilege. in this
beautiful U.S.-backed “democracy.”
but it may mean forfeit of life if one
does not vote.

Later. Mr. Ford draws upon his
lack of insight. claiming that if the
US. does not stop communist revo
lution in Central America. it will
have to stop it when “10 million ref-
ugees (come) crossing our southern
borders." My question is. of course.
from where are these refugees com-
ing? Most refugees crossing the US.
southern border are coming from El
Salvador. Guatemala or Mexico.

In each case. most of these bor-
der-crossers are simply deported un-
less they can show evidence of Na
tant torture or serve some
particular function — i.e., work for
less than subsistence wages under
horrible working conditions. Of
course. certain persons wishing to
avoid hostilities in Nicaragua have
been invited to become upstanding
citizens in Miami. New Orleans and

 

 

San Francisco. as the Reagan ad-
ministration has suggested the US
dotorthecontras.

Mr. Ford states that “our policy
toward Nicaragua should be the
complete support of the Oontradora
freedom fighters." This statement
demonstrates his obvious lack of un-
derstanding of the situation. He has
confused the “contras.” nicknamed
freedom fighters by Reagan in an
attempt to gain support for them by
appealing to US. patriotic senti-
ments. with the Contradora Peace
Proposal, named such because it
was the result of negotiations held
on the island of Oontradora. One
might say I am nit-picking, but what
I would ask Mr. Ford concerning the
rest of his “factual" allegations, if
you didn’t know about that one, well
then what else don't you know?

IMPORTANT

Annual influenza vaccination is not routinely recommended for healthy adults.
However. annual vaccination is strongly recommended for individuals with dia-
betes, those with chronic heart. lung. kidney and other debilitating disorders. Old-
er persons. especially those over 65 years and persons providing essential com-
munity services. are also advised to consider annual vaccinations.

influenza vaccinations will not be given at the Health Service for pregnant women

orioranyonewholealierglctoegge.

As if contemplating this question
himself. Mr. Ford shows his readers
just how much he doesnt know by
stating in his next paragraph that
the “Sandanistas' censorship of the
radio stations. etc. since the Arias
Peace Proposal," is a repressive
policy. I would like to inform him
that as early as Sept. 21, 1987
according to the Lexington Herald-
Leader both Radio Catolica and the
opposition press, La Prensa. were
free to open uncensored as a result
of the Arias Peace Proposal. One
wonders whether Mr. Ford takes off
his America-love-it-or-leave-it rose-

colored glasses long enough to read -

the newspaper.

Staying in typical anti-communist
rhetorical fashion. Mr. Ford one-
sidedly comes off with a host of alle-
gations which are meant to express
his concern about recent military

buildups in Nicaragua, all attributed
to urban and Soviet initiative. Hav-
ing seen no evidence of his allega-
tions during my visit to Nicaragua
or upon my return in the newspa-
pers. I tend to believe less than half

of what Mr. Ford writes so that “the
people reading this) column (can
be) enlightened to the situation that
really exists in Nicaragua." Has Mr.
Ford given any thought to the Unit-
ed States‘ 12 new military bases and
airfields in Honduras or the recent
US. military maneuvers in that
country? I am probably obliged to
tell Mr. Ford that this aid consti-
tuted 82 percent of El Salvador's
budget for that year. Even during
the height of the US. involvement in
the Vietnam War only 91 percent of
the South Vietnam budget was pro-
vided by the United States. Where is
the real aggression in Central Amer-
ica coming from?

In conclusion. Mr. Ford seems to
present himself as the epitomy of
the very notion that was evident in
the column he was criticizing: “Pol-
icy in Nicaragua based on igno-
rance.“ If. of course. he was trying
to be humorous, I suggest he take
heed of what another very funny
man. Mark Twain. once said:
“Know your facts. first. then distort
them." Mr. Ford has managed to
distort the facts but only because he
did not know them in the first place.
He could no more enlighten anyone
about the situation in Central Ameri-
ca than I could find anything humor-
ous or informative in what he said.

Pink Floyd rambling to Rupp

By WESLEY MILLER
Senior Staff Writer

Lawsuits and hard feelings aside.
Pink Floyd will appear for a two—
concert engagement at Rupp Arena
tomorrow and Sunday nights.

Whether or not this is actually
Pink Floyd. however. is a question
that has been debated by fans of the
immortal psychedelic/intellectual
rock group since their well-publi-
cized breakup following the 1983 re
lease of The Final Cut.

The group‘s split apparently was
fomented by the actions of former
lead singer/songwriter Roger Wa-
ters. whose increased involvement
in the creative end of Floyd left a
bad taste in the mouths of guitarist
David Gilmour and drummer Nick
Mason. who felt he was carrying too
much of the songwriting and vocaliz-
ing chores.

Following Waters‘ departure from
the band at the end of 1985. the ques-
tion of whether or not Gilmour.
Mason and keyboardist Richard
Wright have the right to call them-
selves Pink Floyd has been raised.
in the strictest legal terms. by the
former lead singer.

Pink Floyd or not. their latest re-
lease. A Momentary Lapse of Rea-
son. is a fine album. hardly an em-
barrassment when compared to
Floyd‘s finest albums of the ‘705. It‘s
undeniably not the same group with-
out Waters' biting lyrics and caustic
voice. but perhaps it‘s the optimism
of the new album that makes the
material that much more refresh-
mg.

For their first Waters-less LP.
principal songwriter Gilmour appar-
ently decided to drop any attempt to
create a concept album in the tradi-
tion of The Wall or Animals. concen-
trating instead on exploring several
different, though equally important.
themes.

Floyd‘s finest ballads. “(in the Turn-
ing Away." in which Gilmour crit-
icizes the overwhelming apathy of
our world toward the problems that
don‘t directly concern us. In the
past. Pink Floyd‘s most powerful
songs have appealed to the darker
emotions of the listener. In contrast,
the optimistic message is the attrac-
tion of this deeply lyrical, moving
plea for a more caring world.

The one noticeably angry song on
the new album is the anti-war state-

ment. “The Dogs of War.“ which is
eericly reminiscent of an earlier
Floyd song from The Wall. “Empty
Spaces." Gilmour's driving guitar
and Mason's ominous percussion
make this a riveting. if only slightly
overwritten. damnation of warfare.

Tomorrow‘s concert will feature
most of the cuts from the new
album. but should also include a
great many of the older Pink Floyd
classics. including “One of These
Days" and the 20«minute long psy-
chedelic exploration “Echoes.” both
from Meddle. plus “Us and Them"
from The Dark Side of the Moon and
“Dogs" from fAnimals. all of which
they have played in previous con-
certs on this tour.

Also look for the flying pig from
their earlier Animals tour and the
crashing airplane from The Dark
Side of the Moon concerts. despite
Waters' assertion that all of those
devices were originally his ideas.
