Health fee to increaSe by $3 in fall

By MEL HOLBBOOK
Kernel Reporter

UK President Otis Singletary has
appoved the Student Health Ad-
visory Comrnittee’s request for a
health fee increase of $3for the 1978-
79 school year. The increase will
raise the fee to $15.

Thesummer health feewillalsobe
increased from $10 to $12, beginning
in the summer of 1979.

SHAC sent a memorandum to
Singletary in February asking for

Volume LXIX, Number 139
Wednesday. April 19, 1978

increased funding for the Health
Service budget, citing salary in-
creases and inflation as the main
reasons why an increase was
needed. The memorandum
suggested the increased costs be
shared between students and the
administration, which would in-
crease the program’s share of
general funds

“A fee raise was inevitable,” said
SHAC chairman Pat Allison. “We
figured if the University did not
share the responsibility, it would

cost students $18 instead of $15.

“Only two universities in the
country have a voluntary health fee.
Most universities have a mandatory
fee-ranging from $45 to $116 per
semester and $600 for (health) in-
surance per year. So even with the
increase, students still have a
bargain."

Students who do rid pay the health
fee will face an increase in the single
visit charge. The cost, now $8 per
visit, will be increased $2 at the
beginning of the fall semester.

Putting University in a will saves taxes, benefits school after death

By CRAIG DANIELS
Kernel Reporter

Before she died last summer,
Virginia B. Rawlins left UK about
$200,000 to provide scholarships and
loans to needy students studying
medical technology and accounting.

Those fields were of interest to
Rawlins, a Lexington resident and a
member of the UK class of 1938, and
to her sister, who earned degrees at
UK in 1932 and 1933 and died in 1974.
Rawlins had worked as a medical
technologist, while her sister kept
books and records for the Fayette
County Board of Education.

Rawlins is among the growing
number of persons who are doing
themselves and the University a
favor by leaving money to the
school. The benefits for the
University are obvious. Jim Snyda‘,
of UK’s Office of Development, put it
simply: “Our (the University’s)
needs are great," he said.

A gift to the University from a

large estate can mean big money.
Last year, UK received or was
promised about $3.5 million, Snyder
said. The four biggest bequests in
the past two years totaled $691,000.

Contributors also benefit through
guaranteed tax breaks for an estate
that holds funds earmarked for a
non-profit, public-interest in-
stitution, such as a university. But
there are other reasons why people
leave money to universities

Some are interested in education
and helping students. They give
money to a specific university
became somehow they have ties to
it — through having attended the
school or by it being their state-
supported institute. Many do what
Virginia Rawlins did, contributing to
an academic or research program in
which they are interested.

Sometimes the reason a person
leaves money to UK is difficult, if
not impossible, to ascertain. Jack
Blanton, vice president for business
affairs, said one woman left UK a

sizable sum of money apparently
because she wanted to lessen the
amount the federal government
could claim.

Director of Deveolpment Terry
Mobley said some people bequest
money “out of sheer love for the
University. Many received a
reasonably inexpersive education
here and want to repay the
University.”

The Medical Center is a popular
recipient because people were
pleased with the care they received
there, said Mobley, or because they
have an interest in research on a
specific medical problem.

But the majority of money is
designated by the donor to be used
for academic and research pur-
poses. Most donors restrict use of
the money to specific departments
or programs. '

Snyder said that of the larger,
recent bequests, one individual left
$46,000 for scholarships to Kentuckv
students, another bequeathed

Non-students who are eligible to
use the Health Service (spouses and
certain students who are tem-
porarily out of school for a term)’
will have to pay $12 pa- visit next fall
instead of the present $10.

The increase is the first in three
years, according to Jean Cox, ad-
ministrator of the Health Service.
The last fee raise came at the
beginning of the fall semester in 1975
when the payment increased from
$10 to $12.

University of Kentucky
Lexington, Kentucky

$70,000 to the College of Medicine,
and another earmarked $375,000 for
research on cancer, heart disease
and diabetes.

“For our purposes,” Blanton said,
“it is better when we receive
unrestricted dollars. But we’re
delighted with anything we get.”
When money is left to a department,
it determines the use for the money
according to the donor’s wishes.

Mobley said the University seeks
to use unrestricted dollars for
“areas of greatest needs. We try to
make sure that wherever we use this
money, it is a campus-wide need.”

He said a considerable amount of
unrestricted money goes for art
acquisition. Last year, such money
paid the travel expenses of the
University debate team. The
development office recommends
uses for unrestricted dollars to UK’s
President, who in turn makes
recommendations to the develop-
ment office’s board of directors.

Survey response to aid in negotiations
for new employee health insurance plan

By DEBBIE MCDANIEL
Kernel Staff Writer

Based on results of a recent
survey, Univa'sity administrators
will seek price quotes this summer
on an employee health insurance
package.

Delayed for a year by employee
protest, timeconsuming research
and a semi-apathetic response to an
insurance questionare, officials
predict the new health program will
go into effect on October 1, 1978.

The two insurance companies
handing UK‘s account, Blue Cross-

“today

Blue Shield and Teachers Insurance
and Annuity Association, have
agreed to a three-month contract
extension at existing rates, with the
new expiration date set at Sep-
tember 30, 1978.

Health insurance contract
changes were recommenibd by the
Employee Benefits Committee last
spring, but an employee protest
stalled the planned renegotiations of
the contract. In response to the
protest, Committee Chairman Dr.
Howard Bost, vice president of the
UK Medical Center, appointed a
four-person subcommittee to seek

employee input on changes in UK’s
health program.

UK Insurance Buyer Charles
Emerson is combining the survey
results with information obtained at
the four public Health Insurance
meetings into a health specification
package, which will be presented to
the Employee Benefits Committee
for their endorsement.

The survey was distributed to
8,470 full-time employees on campus
and at community colleges. The
survey contained information and
questions concerning the BC-BS and
TIAA plans.

According to Personnel Division
Director Bruce Miller, 30 percent of
the 3376 surveys returned contained
written comments. “Some people
were quite frank in their com-
ments,” Miller said. “The Employee
Benefits Committee is still in the
process of reading them one by
one."

Miller said the majority of survey
respondents favor the following

options for a new health insurance
program:

Polls open today
for 56 election

By DEBBIE MCDANIEL
Kernel Staff Writer

Eve'y spring students are un-
subtly reminded that Student
Government elections are ap-
proacching by colorful “Vote for
Me” posters plastered on any flat
surface around campus.

Today and Thursday SG can-
didates will tenseiy await the results
of campaign week as campus polls
open at 9 am. at various locations
for student voters.

At the polls, students must present
their UK ID and a validated Student
Activity Card to receive a ballot.
The voting on the ballots is similiar
to taking a computerized exam. The
ballot lists candidates by name and
assigns numbers to each name;
voters can either write the can-
didate’s number on a separate sheet
or mark their candidate choice in
the provided blank space.

On the ballots, students may vote
for a SG president, vice president
and candidates running for their
college senator(s). There are 36
candidates running for senator-at-
large, and the voter may select 15 of
these to fill the SG senator-at-large
seats.

According to SG bylaws, the
presidential and vice presidential
candidates are not allowed to run on
a slate. Although presidential
candidates can select their running
mate and link the two names on

posters and in speeches, voters are
free to elect candidates running on
different “tickets.”

If the number of candidates for
college senators is fewer than the
allotted seats, students elected by
“write in” votes are eligible to fill
the open position. If there is a tie, or
no one is elected to fill the seats, a
college senator will be selected by a
special electron. .

This year the colleges of Social
Professions, Library Science and
Dentistry have no candidates
running for election. The Graduate
School has two seats on the Senate,
but only one candidate has filed.

Full-time students may vote at
any poll, but part-time students are
restricted to casting their ballots in
the Student Center.

Polls open tomorrow at the
following locations and hours:

- Anderson Hall: 9 a.m.-2 p.m.

- Commerce Building: 9 a.m.-5
p.m.

— Dickey Hall: 9 a.m.-5 p.m.

- Agricultural Science Building: 9
a.m.-5 p.m.

- Law School: 9 a.m.-5 p.m.

» Classroom Building: 9 a.m.-5

In his two years on the Student
Senate — most especially the 77-78
academic year — Gene Tichenor, a
psychology major and Honors
student, has demonstrated genuine

worked with him say he is extremely
capable of motivating others to work
for him; his enthusiasm for the
projects in which he is involved is
contagious.

In an interview yesterday,
Tichenor talked about the need to
get students more involved in SG.

Letters to the Editor

 

 

For Tichenor

I would like to use this medium to
express my support for Gene
Tichenor and Billy Bob Renner in
their efforts to become our next
Student Government president and
vice president.

After having served as Student
Government president for the last
clever months, I have a full un-
derstanding of the jobs and their
requirements. Ticharor and Renner
are, in my opinion, the candidates
best qualified for the positiors of
president and vice president. Their
experience, ability to work with
others and dedication set Gene and
Billy Bob apart from other in-
dividuals seeking the job.

I hope you will join me in electing
Gene Tichenor and Billy Bob Renner

combination for the UK student
body.

grasp of how one “gets action” in the
Student Senate.

Lobb worked during the past
academic year as a student member
of the University Senate Council. In
that capacity, has had input into
almost every piece of legislation
affecting students that has come to
the University Senate floor. He has
been most active in the debate over
the “relative grade transcript,” a
concept which has been applied at
other universities to combat grade
inflation.

In his campaign literature, Lobb
has stressed the need for “total
representation," and he talked
about that yesterday.

“We have to directly represent the
students. We are the only connection
students have with the Board of
Trustees, and the SG president is the
only student voice on that decision-
making body."

“Our main problem is not an
awareness problem, it is one of
visibility. We need to improve the
visibility of the areas in which we
can legitimately affect change. That
means a new openness. We have got
to stop talking about involvement
and turn out some results.”

Senatorial selections:

Bobby Dee Gunnell

Gunnell served in 77-78 on the
Political Affairs Committee, and is
president of the Student Govern-
ment Association of Kentucky. He
was a driving force in the voter
registration drive and the Mayoral
Forum, and he put together
almostsingle-handedly the recent
80 Political Forum, which brought
together for the first time the major
candidates for Governor of Ken-
tucky. He was a key member of the
SG Lobbying Committee in Frank-
fort. He wants to help give students
“new insight into their role within
the university."

Sid Neal

Neal is running for one of the two
Senate seats from the College of
Businesa and Economics. He is an
extremely active member of Delta
Tau Delta, and hops to apply some
if what he‘s learned about in-
volvement and organization there to
80's problem of student apathy.

Cheryl Will

Will is a sophomore transt‘er from
Depauw University. She is an officer
in Gamma Phi Beta and is running
with something called the “Party
Party." She is most concerned with
safety on the campus, specifically
the safety of women who must walk
alone at night.

Mark Metcalf

A member of SG‘s Public
Relations Committee, Metcalf ran
on a slate with Gunnell last year,
and the two have worked together
determinedy ever since. In addition
to fulfilling his titties on his own
conrmittee, Metcalf has spent a lot
of time helping Gunnell on Political
Affairs. Metcalf was a key member
of the Lobbying Committee in
Frankfort the Spring. He is vice
president of Student Government
Association of Kentucky, and is an
officer in Sigma Pi. He wants to
“bu'ld an effective bridge between
the studert body and the ad-
ministration —-a well working,
integraed system where ideas may
be exchanged."

Buzz English

English is seeking re-election to
his seat as Senator from the College
of Business and Economics. He
served this year on the Acadmeic
Affairs Committee and has worked
hard for a unrvasity-wide, uniform
system of teacher evaluation.

Alysia Wheeler
Easily the most impressive of the
newcomers, Wheeler is making her

'second bid for an “at-large” seat.

She lost last year in an election that
has since been clouded by
allegations of fraud and stuffed
ballot boxes. She deserves to win
this time. As president of the Honors
Program she has developed a keen
awareness of the need for better
communication between students
and the administration.

Mark Benson

Benson is seeking his third term as
Senator from the College of Home
Economics. He served on the
Student Services Committee of SC
this year, and was instrumental in
seeing that the Senate's book ex-
change program was set up and
carried out.

Richard Dizney

Dimey is a candidate for one of the
two Senate seats of the College of
Arts and Sciences. He ha spoken
out for increased student in-
volvement through more pertinent
legislation. His major priority, if
elected, would be to advocate and
pursue to completion projects for
improved safety condtions on the
University campus.

Jim Newberry
Student Government president

And against

Damn it! Jim Newberry, why
can‘t you stay out of this Student
Govern ment election? 0f any person
in Student Government, you above
all others, should have remained
neutral as President.

But you didn’t. You’ve chosen to
throw your partisan views into this
year’s presidential contest. Well I
say it STINKS.

Many students in previous elec-
tions have chosen the most popular

candidate over the candidate who is
best qualified to lead Student
Government. I’m sure this is what
you were counting on. It is obvious
that you would not support anyone
other than your fraternity brother.
But you could have easily stayed
neutral.

But this isn’t the worst of it. You
are aware of what the respon-
sibilities and requirements entailed
in holding this office are, after
serving yourself, as president, for
the past eleven months. How could
you in any true conscience support a
candidate who has misrepresented
his qualifications? Mr. Tichenor has
emphasized time and again his two
years of “active” experience in SG.
Bull. The first year that he served in
SG he did virtually nothing. This
year much of what he credits
himself as having done is actually

. work that his committee has done.

His entire campaign, based on his
involvement in SG, is similar to a
facade on the back lot of a
Hollywood movie set. If you look
beh‘nd the front facade, you’ll find
there is nothing there.

Gene has may old firends who are
supporting his candidacy. But their
friendship is blinding them. He is not
in any stretch of the imagination
capable of serving as 86 president.
He typically does not know what he
is talking about, and shoots his
mouth off when he ought to be quiet.
This is not the type of person
students need representing them on
the Board of Trustees, the Senate
Council, etc. Gene’s background is
in the area of Student Affairs. While
this certainly is deserving of SC
attentions, SG, and particularly its
president, must be thoroughly
aware and va‘sed in the area of
Academic Affairs. Gene is not.

Are you less than impressed with

are unquestioned. Who could be
better with the SG gavel in his hand
than the man who hits 90 percent of
his free throws and rarely commits
a turnover?

UK‘s fine point guard has shown
he can adjust to new situations,
making a successful transition
from another school. An articulate
speaker, Macy would be a
diplomatic campus statesman
whose oncourt prestige could lend
clout to 86‘s efforts.

So if you can‘t find any can-
didates on the ballot you‘re eager
to vote for, it might be a good idea
to consider Macy. As the slogans
might say, he’s a proven winner.

 

 

Mr. Tichenor is not event totally
aware of how SC is operated. As late
as two weeks ago he was still un-
clear on how the Senate handled its
business. After two years on the

Senate he should at least know 56
procedures.

It is important that the students of
this University become aware of this
misrepresentation on Mr.
Ticharor’s part. ~

For the past two years, I have felt
a strong conviction that I should stay
out of the other political races. But
this year I’m forced to compromise
my conviction in order to prevent a
travesty. I can’t sit back any longer
and let someone pull the wool over
your eyes.

I’m not endrrsing any candidate. I
don’t intend to. But there is only one
person running for presidert who
has the experience and possesses the
qualities that I belive are necessary
to keep SG alive. If Mr. Tichenor is
elected on his popularity, it will be
certain suicide for SG.

Studarts, don’t let somebody like
this get away with his ruse.

I’m sure you're going to hear
something soom in regard to these
comments. You are going to hear
someone say they are not true. I
wouldn’t put myself in a position like
this if I wasn't absolutely convinced
that this is the case.

Mark Benson
Home Economics Senator

Editor‘s note: In responding to the
letter above, SG President Jim
Newberry said last night that he and
Mark Benson evidartly hold dif-
ferent views on what the Presiderrt’s
proper role in SC elections should
be, and that he believed Tichenor to
be the best candidate. Newberry
said he made no effort at hiding the
fact that Tichenor is a fraternity
brother, and said it had no effect on
his endorsement of Tichenor.

Tichenor said last night he was
“highly amused" by the charges
made in the letter above. “The
people who know my record know
that I‘m qualified," said Tichenor.
“I'll let the voters decide," he ad-
ded.

Joy Eagle, director of the 86
Student Affairs Committee, which
Tichenor is chairman of, said
Tichenor “coordinated and initiated
most of the (committee’s) project-
s.” Eagle, who is a supporter of
Tichenor in the SG presidential race,
said he has been primarily
responsible for the committee’s
accomplishments this year.

Thanks

On behalf of the UK Student
Government, the Student Govern-
ment Association of Kentucky and
UK students, we would like to thank
Dr. Otis Singletary, President of the
University of Kentucky, Edward
Pritcherd and Harry Snyder,
members of the Council on Higher
Education and Jim Newberry,
president of UK Student Govern-
ment for their efforts in amending
the tuition rate increases for out-of~
state students.

Because of the presentation made
by Dr. Singletary and Jim on behalf
of the students, and the support of
council members Edward Pritcherd

.and Harry Snyder, the Council

amended a previous recom-
mendation to raise out-of-state
tuition from a flat rate of $300 per
year to an incremental rate of $150
per year, making the $300 increase
gradual over a two-year period.

While this may not sound like a
monumental achievement, it was
the best solution studerts could
expect due to a state law which
requires that Kentucky state schools
keep up with the rising outof-state
tuitions in surrounding state schools.
Also, this change will save present
out-of-state students mile a few
bucks over the next. year.

Once again, thanks to those
