Abstinen e vs. sex education
Stephen D. Trimhle ' ‘
I’ll/tor In C bief :
Established 1894 independent since 1971
University of Kentucky, Lexington, Kentucky
“max.- ,.—v
Question One: Should educators teach abstinence or
the realities of “safe" sex to Kentucky’s teen-agcrs?
Question Two: Can educators address these polar
opposites in harmony?
In an age when sex can kill, via the AIDS epidemic. the
moral problems these questions pose for educators, stu—
dents, parents and churches guarantee debate — and leg-
islation. g
From the US. Surgeon General’s bold statement that
teen-agers should be taught what to do in the “back seat,"
to the Vatican’s pleas for abstinence education,
Americans are seeing sex headlining many of today's
_ _ . . social debates.
' ~.:. . '* ' “Kids are going to have sex,” sax? Layne Berryman, a
“ ' ' UK chemical engineering sophomore, who said she is
now sexually active with one partner.
Berryman said children are now initiated early to sex
portrayed constantly on television, movies and in other
media messages.
That is why, she said, condoms should be distributed in
public schools to ward off possible cases of sexually trans—
mitted diseases.
The Alan (iuttmacher lnstitute's 1994 research shows
that one-fourth of the l3 million STl)’s reported last
year were among teenagers.
The institute also reported that as many as 2‘) percent
of sexually active adolescent girls have chlamydia.
Mary Brinkman, of L'K's Student Health SerVices, said
teens, and everyone else, must worry about more than
just the physical dangers that a strip 0t latex may solve.
“People also need to think about the psychological.
emotional and even spiritual — and I don’t mean religion
and church —— aspects,” she said.
“\Ve just want students to know there are ‘ots of choic-
es."
UK’s Student Health physicians primarily advocate an
abstinence-based approach for its students.
“\Ve are talking about abstinence more and more,"
Brinkman said. “\Ve know that students choose sex, real-
istically, but we still are encouraging abstinence.”
Some, however, say that sex education — especially in
high schools — should begin and end with abstinence.
For example, last week in the Dallas suburb of Irving,
Texas school board members adopted an abstinence-only
based curriculum to combat HIV in the district's 27
schools.
The board's president, john Sears, said the action
“bans the distribution of condoms and focuses on self-
control, respecting others and personal responsibility for
one's actions,” according to columnist Cal Thomas In the
July 3 Lexington Herald-Leader.
However, Sears and his fellow board members, who
unanimously voted in favor of the resolution, have met
serious opposiuon to the district's new lessons.

Nam Fxlitor
A four-year battle over the
destruction of personnel records
continues for an associate profes-
sor in the College of Human
Environmental Sciences.
David C. Payne became eligible
for promotion to full professor in
the fall of 1990, but was denied
advancement by former
Dean of Human 5
Environmental Sciences
Peggy Meszaros.
Shortly afterward,
Payne’s promotion dossier
was “improperly shred-
ded” by Meszaros before it
went to Chancellor Robert
Hemcnway for review,
according to a letter by
UK Vice President for
Administration and Official
Records Custodian Donald
Clapp.
According to a ruling by the
Attorney General on June 7, the
University did not violate either
Open Records Law or Libraries
and Archives Law with the
destruction of Payne’s personnel
records.
\thn Payne requested the rul-
ing by the Attorney,General on
Nov. 6, 1993, he contended that
it was the duty of the president of
the University, according to law,
to document that the records
were destroyed.
Payne said that his relationship
with the former dean was shaky
and might have had something
the do with the incident.
“\Vhen I went up for promo-
tion, I was fighting the dean on
faculty governance issues,” he
said. “She admitted to improperly
destroying my records. She told
me and she told the Chancellor.”
Meszaros accepted a new job at
the Virginia Polytechnic
Institute and State
University recently, and
she could not be reached
for comment.
Payne signed an agree-
ment, drafted by
Ilcmenway, stating Payne
would be reviewed for
promotion “on the basis of
his 1990 dossier, as com-
pletely reconstructed as
possible.”
Hemenway said Payne’s
grievance was legitimate, but he
did not think Payne’s records
were destroyed out of spite, and
he added that everything has been
done to correct the situation.
“In the meetings I had with the
parties,” he said. “I saw no per-
sonal animosity between Dr.
Payne and Ms. Meszaros.
“\Ve worked out an agreement
for the consideration of Dr.
Payne’s candidacy. The
University has made a concerted
effort to consider Dr. Payne for
promotion as fully and as fairly as
Educafion

Jan Ilarman, executive direc-
tor of Lexin ton Planned
Parenthood, saitf that the Irving
school district is begging for a
lawsuit.
Already in Florida and
Louisiana, she said, similar
school curricula, which she
referred to as “fear—based," were
beaten in the courts.
Although Ilarrnan dislikes in-
school condom distribution and
advocates abstinence as a first
line of defense against HIV, she
said society needs a more “realis-
tic” approach to sex education
than abstinence-only policies
provide.
\Vhilc the Guttmacher study
says that 20 percent of teens
abstain before the age of 18, 40-
60 percent of 14-17 years old,
nationally, are sexuall active.
“We teach skills in ow to be a
parent and how not to be a par-
ent,” IIarman said of her group,
which publishes educational
material on both abstinence and
safe sex across the state.
The results of the efforts of
groups like Planned Parenthood
and the Kentucky educational
system were published in
December in a state-wide sur-
vey.
Among l,l l8 Kentucky high
school teens, 62 percent (694)
said they have had sex, the 1993
Kentucky Youth Risk Behavior
Study showed.
About one-third of the sexual—
ly active teens reported they
have had more than four part-
ners in their lifetime, and 48
percent said the last time they
ad sex they did not use a con-
dom.
The survey, which was con-
ducted by UK’s Center for
Prevention Research, also found
that 70 rcent of res ndents
openly iscuss HIV/ DS edu-
cation with adults in their fami-
lies.
\ I ~ . ._,.. w.
possible.”
Payne said that no disciplinary
action was taken against Meszaros
for destroying his records.
“The decision to deny my pro-
motion was madc on an incom-
plete dossier. It was never
complete," Payne said. “I had
very heavy teaching loads. That
information is still missing from
my records.”
Although Payne could take
action against the University in
court, he said that he does not
intend to do so.
“I probably could take them to
court on a contract violation, but
I’d rather not do that because it
would cost me about $15,000 in
legal fees,” Payne said. “It
wouldn’t be sensible for anyone
in my position."
Payne said his primary motiva-
tion for pursuing the issue further
is the importance of record keep-
ing and procedure during consid-
erations for promotion.
“I’m not getting promoted, but
I do believe that people should
get a fair chance,” Payne said.
“Keeping records is crucial from a
faculty’s point ofview.”
I’Icmenway, however, says that
what happened in Payne’s case is
not standard procedure.
“In my examination, I found no
evidence that the destruction of
Dr. Payne’s records was anything
other than a misinformed mis-
rake."

FIXER—UPPERS: Both a new laboratory building (above) and Miller
Hall (right) are rereiving a lot of construction work this summer.
Construction continues
“Improvement” projects to
end prior tofall semester
Trent Knuckles
News Editor
A sign posted near UK’s Funkhouser Building
reads: “Pardon our Construction. A short-term
inconvenience for a long term improvement.”
UK typically dedicates the summer months to
construction projects and improvement of various
' vi

FACE-LIFT: Patterson Office Tower is getting a

facilities. This summer is no different.
By the time students return for the fall semester
several major projects, including the renovation of
Miller Hall, the repainting of Patterson Office
Tower and the construction of a new laboratory
research facility should be completed.
Kenn Clevidence, UK's director of procurement
and construction, said the $2.4 million renovation
efforts on Miller Hall, located near the Whitehall
Classroom Building, should be ready for the fall
semester.
The former cartography building was evacuated
because of building code problems due to age.
Clevidence said the renovation will be a great
improvement for the University.
“The space will be upgraded considerably,”
Clevidence said. “It should be of much more use to
the University.”
Clevidence said the upgraded building will still be
used to house the Colleges of Architecture and
Cartography.
“Two floors will be architecture and I think car-
tography is going back in," Clevidence said.
Many students will also notice that Patterson
Office Tower is getting a face-lift this summer as
UK’s Physical Plant Division is repainting the entire
building.
Clevidence said the paint job is necessary because
of the age of the building.
“I, for one, think it was necessary,” Clevidence
said. “That building was built in the 60’s; it was very
stained and in need of being cleaned.”
\Vhile the repainting of \Vhitehall ran over into
the fall semester last year, Clevidence said the work
on the POT should be finished before students
return.
The largest of the construction projects at UK
this summer is the Advanced Science and
Technology Commercialization Center (ASTeCC),
a laboratory research facrlity.
The $18 million federally funded project will be
devoted mainly to research, Clevidence said.
The structure was funded over several fiscal years,
making it necessary to break the project up into
phases. Currently, the last phase is being completed,
and ASTeCC is slated for a Sept. 20 finishing date.
The University is also following up on a $1.3 mil-
lion project to extend a chill water line that, accord-
ing to Clevrdencc, will improve air conditioning in
the classrooms and residence halls around campus.
“VVe’ve added two, five thousand-ton chillers,”
Clevidence said. “\Ve will be able to better provide
air conditioning around the campus, especially dur-
ing peak hours."
Again, Clevidence said, the project should be
completed before students return in the fall.

I orig days and short nights are
routine for nearly 200 high
school students attending UK’s
Debate Institute this summer.
Established in 1961, the
Institute is the oldest, continuous
high school institute in the
nation.
Every summer high school stu-
dents frorn across the nation
spend up to four weeks at the
Institute.
\Vhile at UK they research a
topic introduced during the pre—
vious April, participate in practice
debate rounds and they attend
lectures on the finer points of
debate theory
Among the students are 15 of
the best speakers In the country
These students are referred to as
“”fellows, and they are respected
by the other Institute participants.
Betty Pak, a senior at Parkview
High School in Lilburn, Ga
appreciates the presence of the
lelows.
“ I hey have a unity amongst
themselves, (but) its very flatter-
ing that they all take out the time
to talk with us too because they
are the top speakers In the coun-
try," Pak said Ihe tact they re
here and they re willing to help us
is really amaZIng
J.\V. Patterson, the director of
the UK debate team, which
ranked among the top ten debate
teams In the nation last year
thinks that the Institute is a great
benefit to the students attending.
“'Ours Is one of the less expen-
sive in the country and for what
students pay, they get a lot."
Patterson said.
Ihe Institute is staffed by the
best speakers on the college cir-
cuit. Patterson, 13 staff members
and two assistants handle admin-
istrative duties.
“The Institute’s staff comes
from all over the country includ-
ing some UK debaters, a senior
debater from Harvard, the assis—
tant director of debate from
North Carolina State, and the
assistant director of debate from
Redlands College, among oth—
ers,” Patterson said.
The students attending the
Institute see the staff as a major
motivating factor in the Institute.
“They rarely sleep at night
because they are helping us. ” Pak
said. “I hey are older, but it is
easy to communicate with them
because they are like kids. They
dedicate a lot of time and that is
awesome.”
Additionally, the Institute pro-
vides a medium for UK to recruit
quality high school debaters.
“We get some of our best
recruits that way, said Patterson
Robert Hartman, an incoming
business freshman, was a fellow in
the Institute last year. He credits
the Institute for his success in two
round robin debate tournaments
last year.
“The 12 UK fellows closed out
numerous National High School
Tournaments last year, more
than any other Institute,”
Hartman said.

The Children’s Miracle
Network Telethon on Channel
2,7 _lune 4, may be over, but the
fund raising efforts are far from
finished.
Vard Curtis a tirst— —year stu-
dent in UK s College of
Medicine, is biking across the
United States to raise money to
benefit the UK Children’s
Hospital.
His trip, which began from San
Francisco in May, has already
raised nearly $5000 for the cause.
Curtis will end his trip in
\Vashington D. C. around mid-
July
Curtis has competed in
triathlons for seven ears in
which the maximum bi ng dis-
tance was thirty miles. On his
ride for the Children' 5 Miracle
Network, however, Curtis may
do closer to 90 miles a day.
In the hot summer sun, Curtis
bikes from 4 am. to noon, breaks
for the afternoon to escape the
heat and resumes riding in the
evening.
Curtis can average 15 miles an
hour on a good day and 7 miles
per hour with high winds and
hills.
Curtis said he has always been
interested in physical fitness and
community service.
When his friend, Scott
Damron, rode to raise money for
cancer, it sparked the idea in
Curtis.
Aware of the reconstruction
plans for the UK hospital, Curtis
approached Aimee Hiller, an
information specialist at the
Chandler Medical Center, about
riding for the children’s hospital.
“I have always wanted to do
something like this, Curtis said.
“Now seemed like the right
time.”
Curtis is currently between
jobs. He left his position as UK s
Central Sterile Department oper-
ating room supervisor in May to
embark on his lone bike ride. He
plans to begin medical school in
August.
Travelling solo, Curtis camps
roadside or in campgrounds.
Occasionally, he said, strangers
will hear of his cause and invite
him to stay in their homes.
“One of the motivations for me
on this trip was having the oppor-
tunity to get to know myself bet-
ter," Curtis stated. “I wanted this
to be self-contained.”
He carries 45 to 50 pounds of
gear in his bike packs.
However, he said a small plastic
bottle of pepper spray is his
favorite Item.
“I’ ve been attacked by several
dogs and this stuff really works to
keep them away, ”he said.
Marian Blanchard, telethon
director for UK' 5 Hospital, said
Curtis efforts are a tribute to his
character and willingness to
extend a helping hand.
“I’m impressed with this out-
standing young man who works
hard to reach his goals.”
Blanchard said.

SGA delivers
8-week tutors

Tutoring service at UK is
increasing, thanks to efforts of
the Student Government
Msociation,
This summer the SGA is
bringing a summer session tutor-
ing program to the University.
“\Ve decided to implement stu-
dent services as something we
should offer year round,” said
SGA President T.A. Jones.
“Students need tutoring just as
much in the summertime as in
the fall."
There has never been a tutor-
ing program in the summer
before. The tutoring program is
active throughout the fall, spring
and now summer semesters.
The response to the tutoring
program has been encouraging so
far. To date, there are over 60
applicants for tutoring positions
and approximately 10 to 15 stu—
dents applicants to receive tutor—
ing. SGA would like to see those
numbers increase.
“This summer we have gotten
one of the largest responses to
the tutoring program,” Jones
said. The program should be
starting next week.
Next summer the SGA plans to
have the tutoring program imple-
mented for the four-week session.
“We are hoping to narrow
down, by the end of the week,
who our tutors are going to be,
and tutoring will begin next
Monday,” said Avi VVeitzman,
executive director of SGA.

Jones said the implementation
of the program represents SCA’s
commitment to students.
“(Summer tutoring) shows we
are pro-student. \Ve want stu—
dents to be able to afford educa—
tion. This is one of our services
that makes it possible." he said.
The program started after a
few students stopped in and asked
about summer tutoring. Demand
grew beginning with the com-
mencement of the eight—week
summer session, and the SGA
began moving to fulfill that
demand.
“This week Avi \Veitzman and
Brendan McGrath (head of tutor-
ing) are interviewing all tutors,
and the tutors get paid $6 an
hour," Jones said.
Becoming involved with the
program is a very simple proce‘
dure. The student must fill out a
form, which differs depending on
whether the student is applying
to tutor or for tutoring.
The SGA hopes more people
take advantage of the tutoring
program.
Subjects included in the tutor-
ing services are: math, chemistry,
biology, English, engineering,
and other “basic” classes.
Tutoring can be arranged “for
any class,” said Jones. “We are
available to tutor many subjects
from the sciences to the lan-
uages. It is a free service,” said
Veitzman. For more informa-

NBA Draft light at
end of Dent’s tunnel
\\'hen Rodney Dent fell to the
Rupp Arena floor early in the
llth game of his senior season,
his collegiate basketball career
appeared in jeopardy. The fate of
eleven other young men clad in
blue and white also seemed to
teeter iii the balance.
After all, it was Dent who
crowded the lane,
snared countless
boards and
banged with the
SliC’s big boys
each evening. It
was Dent who
shouldered much
. of the \Vildcats’
DOC hopes of a return
PUI'CEII trip to the NCAA
Ktmmommnm Final Four. ()n his
broad shoulders,
the hopes of an entire state rest-
ed.
So when his bulky 6-foot-1 l,
24ll-pound frame crashed to the
court in the Cats’ first conference
game of the year, the tension
mounted among his teammates,
coaches and fans.
And when UK trainer joanne
llauser diagnosed the Cats’ crip—
pled big man with a torn anterior
cruciate ligament in his left knee,
his hopes of ever playing in a
\Vildcat uniform again vanished
into that cold,]anuary night.
That evening seemed to serve
as iust another pothole on the
rocky road Dent travelled during
his turbulent athletic career.
There was his year away from
basketball, caused by a strug le to
pass a college correspom ence
course and ultimately reach
mandatory requirements to gain
admittance to UK.
Then came his arrival on carn-
pus, which was marked by public
slights to his somewhat shady
academic past.
Then came the injury. After
only one year in a \Vildcat uni-
form, one year of certainty con-
cerning his place as a basketball
player, all seemed shattered. llis
collegiate career abruptly, cruelly
ended and his future was once
again in doubt.
To his teammates, of course.
the injury was equally dishearten-
ing. They saw their vaunted cen-
ter wither in pain and their
dreams of a landmark year nearly
do the same. But as bleak as the
moment looked, as sad and dis-
runtling as the night had
Eecome, things would change.
They would change because
Dent persevered and battled
through adversity, a
