Budget cuts force UKto
look at child care options

By TONJA WILT
Senior Staff Writer

For Pat Blevins, a single mother who
works during the day and attends UK
classes at night, the Evening Child Care
Program is essential.

“I have no family in Lexington l
have nowhere else to take my child,“
Blevins said.

However, due to University budget
cuts and a general lack of funds, Blev
vins and other students like her may be
faced with the elimination of the Eve-
ning Child Care Program next year.

University officials are aware of the
need for campus child care facilities
and are searching for solutions

“What the l'nivi-rsitv needs is a good

Rose worked

behind scenes

SGA head praised
by UK administrators

By ELIZABETH WADE
News Editor

Although Student Government
Association President James Rose ran
alone in his campaign for presidency
last year, he certainly did not run his
administration the same way.

Keeping in touch with his personality,
Rose has led a quiet administration by
delegating responsibility to members of
the executive branch and to senators,
while he chose to work behind the
scenes, SGA senators say.

“He led a very outwardly quiet ad-
ministration People did not hear about
him a lot,“ said Kim Fowler, senator at
large. “He was constantly behind the
scenes, and he has led one of the most
successful administrations since I've
been here."

Rose has been criticized by some for
running a quiet, noncontroversial ad-
ministration as opposed to his predeces-
sor, Cyndi Weaver, who was very vocal
about student issues.

But Rose claims that confrontation is
not his style.

“To an extent that's what i ran a
campaign on ~ not to create issues to
throw in the paper every week," Rose
said. “We were definitely out there. We
made a lot of statements behind closed
doors with the administration. Being
outspoken did not necessarily get things
accomplished."

Frank Harris, director of the Student
Center, said that each SGA president

 

James Rose has been praised as an effective Student Gov-
ernment Association presrdent by students and administra-

must develop his/her own style, em-
phasizing their strong points.

“All SGA presidents do things well in
certain areas. All are different," Harris
said. “Some of Jim's strong points are
that he is an excellent planner. He al-
ways planned things out very, very
well. When he decided to do something,
he always did it."

Administrators were hesitant to com-
pare Rose to his predecessor, saying

them work

that each president varies according to
individual style.

“They had very different agendas.”
said James Kuder. vice chancellor for
student affairs. “1 think some people
were turned off by (Weaver‘s) style."

Kuder said Rose raised questions and
issues in a calmer fashion than Weaver.
and he said older adults tend to listen
more to students who are more diplo-
matic. Rose’s approach helped him deal
well with the administration. which

Seminar celebrates existence of the Eiffel Tower

Slide shows, models mark exhibit by program

By JULIE ESSELMAN
Special Project Writer

It has been a hundred years since the
first celebration of the Eiffel Tower at the
1889 Paris Exposition, but another cele-
bration of that historical structure took
place on the UK campus last week, com-
plete with slide shows and architectural
models of future monuments.

A UK honors program seminar on the
Eiffel Tower culminated in a special exhi-
bition last Friday in the Student Center
Ballroom. The 13 students in the class,
taught by honors program director
Raymond Betts, organized a continuous
slide presentation of Paris at the time of
the Exposition and of the significance of
the Tower, which at the time was twice the
size of any previously existing man-made
structure.

The highlight of the event, however, was
a contest in which students from the
College of Architecture designed and con-
structed models of what they viewed as
modern monuments that would be as sig-
nificant as the Tower has been.

Shawn Hadley and Tom Hickey, both
first year architecture students. won the
mo first prize for their design, titled
“Unity Within a Monument." The struc-
ture would be built above the Berlin Wall
in Germany and combine elements from
the lndian totem pole, Roman pilon and
Eiffel Tower in a tail spiraling model of
concrete, steel and glass.

“1 think there‘s been a lack of joining ar-
chitecture and engineering," Hickey said.
“We‘re trying to join both of them."

Hickey said both the totem pole and the
Roman pilon were symbols of unity and
gathering places, but the Eiffel Tower
shows more of structure being overtaken
and the idea of unity forsaken. So, he said,
they tried to combine the “essence“ of the
first two to the “scale" of the Eiffel
Tower.

This structure would be grounded on
both the east and west sides of the Berlin
wall before weaving together in the middle
and then rising to a high point. Hickey said
it is an attempt to unite east and west by
starting with a small locale, and it would
be a structure for the World‘s Fair to fur-
ther unify the world.

Students in the Eiffel Tower class, who
voted on the different models, said they
liked the Idea behind Hadley‘s and Hicky’s
project.

“I like this one because it takes some of
the basic elements of the Eiffel Tower . . .
but it moves it into a modern twentieth
century context,“ said Denise Sandman.

Other project ideas included the second-
place winner, titled “Global Communica-
tion Facility in Chicago,“ and a world ex-
position tower made of steel and glass that
would be anchored in Tampa Bay and able
to float to coastal cities for fairs.

About 100 people viewed the exhibition
during the curse of the afternoon, accord-
ing to Betta. He has taught on Eiffel Tower

COUNYESV OF UK PHOTO SERVICE!

Shawn Hadley and Tom Hickey stand beside their Winning exhibit as part of
their celebration of the Eiffel Tower in France held at UK last week

class for the past four years, each time
focusing on different aspects of it.

The classes have concentrated on
fiance in 18!!) and French culture, iron ar-
chitecture in the industrial age and Paris
in the year of the Exposition, Betts said.
This year‘s class attempted to pull much
of this together "as a celebration," he
said.

His students expressed a great interest

in the course and the culminating cele~

bration

“iThe exhibitioni was great." said soph-
omore Amy Reid. “1 think the best part is
the architecture . to get people to think
about what the Eiffel Tower symbolizes
and what they think architecture in gener-
al should symbolize Some of these people
have really good ideas "

By JULIE ROWLAND
Staff Writer

Dual events to aid the Fund
for Children's Cancer at UK will
he held at the Kentucky Horse
Park this weekend.

The activities start today with
. luncheon events preceding the 2
i pin post time The activities
;‘ for tommorrow and Sunday
i start in the early morning and
i run throughout the day.

Events include the High
Hopes Steeple Chase and a
three-da y equestrian event.

"It used to be that they were
two individual events. but now
the two have joined forces and
\trC working together. Last year
the combined contribution was
ioout $35000.“ said Sandy
Thacker, who is in charge of
public affairs for the event.

Thacker said the proceeds go
i I research into children‘s can~
ccr and also to help for such
:hings as medication, transfu-
Mona and chemotherapy.

Virginia, West Virginia and Ten-
nessee,“ Thacker said.

The general admission is $5
for Friday. 87 for Saturday
when the cross country race
takes place, and $8 for Sunday
when the High Hopes Steeple
Chase and the stadium jumping
take place.

“A crafts fair also takes
place." Thacker said. “Crafts
from all over and very high
quality equestrian jewelry will
besoldeachday."

Thacker said the High Hopes
event has been held for 12 years
for the cancer fund.

"The High Hopes Steeple
Chase has donated more than
$200,000 to the UK Children’s
Cancer Fund," Thacker said.

Thacker said that the riders in
the International Equestrian
team are chosen at this event.

“It‘s a really big and interna-
tional program. It‘s really inter-
esting, and there‘s beautiful
jumping," she said.

To inquire about the events,
call 277-6948 about the High
Hopes event and 233-2362 about
the equestrian event.

 

 

Rose complimented by UK officials

Continued front Page I
more student programs are being
added.

“Before Cyndi (Weaver), the
president had a hand in everything,
but now there are some things you
just don’t work on," he said. ”I'd
rather get into projects. That‘s
where the fun is, rather than tell-
ing people what to do every day. "

Rose said he was able to estab-
lish and successfully accomplish
many new programs because he
found competent individuals to be
in charge of them. He said he tried
to get away from the idea that SGA
was a one person show, so he dele-
gated responsibility to other indi-
viduals.

Rose also said he wanted his
ideas such as the president’s board
newsletter, the CARE program.
Excelsior and internal reorganiza-
tion of SGA to last more than one
year.

“I think every year has been a
building block. I know all of us put
just as much effort or more as last
year, and that will happen next
year too," Rose said. “The big suc-
cesses this year will be shown next
year. We’re only as successful as
next year’s president will be. "

So far Rose’s word has been true.
Weaver established two programs
that carried over into Rose‘s ad-

ministration — the campus escort
service and teacher evaluations.

The Committee on Alcohol lte-
sponsibility and Education is one of
the new programs that Rose began
and passed on to Senator at Large
Amy Butz. The committee was cre-
ated as a result of a drunken driv-
ing accident involving former UK
student Brad Shipman, Michael J.
Swerczek and Lisa Whalen. Whalen
was killed in the accident. Swerc»
zek was critically injured.

The committee’s success can be
attributed to the administrative
and creative ability of Butz. The
committee not only designed and
distributed educational posters, but
organized and distributed desig-
nated driver cards to students in
various organizations across cam-
pus.

“When I set it up, I didn't expect
it to continue. The idea was for
(the committee) to come up with
recommendations (on alcohol
awareness) but with so much work
needing to be done, CARE and its
acronym needed to stay as a com-
mittee,"hesaid.

Butz, chairman of CARE, said
the committee was Rose‘s idea and
that he approached her about hand-
ling it. She said he always took
care of things, and if he couldn‘t

handle a project he always turned
it over to someone who could.

Another project on Rose's plat-
form was Excelsior, the cam-
puswide formal that was held at
the end of February. Excelsior was
created to unify the campus and to
raise money for student schol-
arships.

Although Excelsior was not fi~
nancially succesful for SGA. it was
a campuswide success, drawing
more than 400 students, faculty and
staff. Rose said it will ('Ullilflllt'
again next year.

SGA lost nearly $4,000 on Excel-
sior this year. Total expenses for
the event exceeded $8,000, and total
revenue less the scholarship cx
pense was a little more than $4.000
Hose said enough donations were
given for scholarships alone that
one scholarship was given for one
semester's tuition.

“I think it‘ll come out losing a
little tnext year), but I doubt it will
lose near as much as this year,"
Rose said. “It went great this year.
and next year we‘re hoping for
more people.

“As far as SGA is concerned it
will be a loss, but for the student
bodyitwillbeagain."

The president's board is another
program Rose established The
board met with Kuder and Rose to

discuss problems on campus that
are affecting students and how
they could be changed. The board
also puts a campuswide newsletter
together.

Rose also restructured SGA’s in—
ternal organization by creating
three executive directors to be in
charge of student services, student
concerns and academic affairs.

“I think the executive branch
was handled really well as far as
getting organized, but I have some
objections as far as how he handled
the senate," said Joseph Elias, for-
mer engineering senator.

Another tool to organize and
streamline processes was the es-
tablishment of a computer system
with the University’s Wang mail.
This appeared to be an asset so
SGA members could communicate
better with administrators.

One of Rose's bigger projects
was centralizing all of the student
appointments under one director.

“In the past we had a hard time
keeping track of all of them. The
administrative director for student
appointments in the past made a
list and sent it (to the appointees).
Now the director makes sure they
are notified and attending meet-
ings," Rose said.
