Celebrating 34 years of independence

Senate presents new initiatives for undergrads

By Troy Lyle
mt KENTUCKY new

All UK students should be edu-
cated in a way that empowers them
to take on the challenges of an
ever-changing world.

With that simple foundation
Alan Desantis, chair for UK's uni-
versity studies program external
review committee, addressed more
than 80 University Senate mem-

bers yesterday in the WT. Young
Auditorium.

His message was the culmina-
tion of the last six months in
which he and four other committee
members began restructuring the
mission of undergraduate educa-
tion at UK.

“My goal is to teach undergrad-
uate students so they leave with a
much more global perspective.” he
said.

Desantis said not only will this
proposal better prepare students, it
will also help create a more diverse
and open-minded campus.

He said that’s more of an issue
for the administration. who’ve
been working the last three months
to address criticisms concerning
this falls 40 percent drop in black
freshman enrollment.

To pave the way the committee
proposed five core modifications

aimed as a roadmap for change, in-
cluding a new curriculum program
that better enables all students to:

I understand their place and
purpose in their ever-changing
world.

I engage in the process of in-
quiry and reflection.

I think from multidisciplinary
perspectives,

I meet the new demands and
challenges of life in the let century

I discover and examine the
ambiguity of human knowledge.

Desantis said the proposal isn’t
intended to be a final say on the
subject. Likewise. it's intended to
be a catalyst for discussion.

“This isn‘t the tip of the ice
berg," he said. “It’s more like what
you can't see under the water - it’s
the foundation for everything

Women's Safety Source looks to
create support network on campus

his fraternit .
More than 36 percent of women on UK‘s cam- Y

pus have been victimized by violence, according
to a safety survey conducted last spring semester
by the UK Center for Research Against Violence
Against Women.

The survey also concluded that more than
one in five women have been sexually assaulted
and less than 1 percent of the victims talk to
staff or faculty members about it.

To reverse this trend, a network of faculty
and staff members at UK are being trained to
support women who have been victimized by vi-
olence.

Women’s Safety Source, a Women‘s Place at
UK program, takes willing faculty and staff
members through a 20 to 40-minute training ses-
sion on how to talk, listen and help women who
have been victims of violence.

“If we are going to effectively reduce vio-
lence against women, every individual must get
involved." said Dorothy Edwards, director of
Women’s Place. “This is an easy way to step up
and create a safe environment for women on
campus.”

The training educates faculty and staff on
the programs available for women at UK as well
as ways to provide options for those who may
need them. Training also stresses that victims
usually tell their story only once so that the sto
ry is treated with sensitivity.

Edwards said the main objective is to get all
faculty and staff members to respond in a sup-
portive way to victimized women on campus.

Donna Gabbard, house director for the soror-
ity Sigma Kappa and Safety Source representa-
tive, said the program is a great start to acknowl-
edging issues that are happening to women on
campus.

“It’s a training I believe every employee at
UK should take," Gabbard said.

Thirteen minutes into the second half
of last night's game, UK men’s basketball
fans who had already booked plane tickets
to Kansas City anticipating a Wildcat victo-
ry against Lipscomb University were re-
thinking their weekend.

It took the heavily favored Cats most of
the second half to shut the door on the Bi-
son and secure a trip to the semifinals of
the Guardians Classic tournament with a
67-49 victory ‘

Bison reserve Eddie Ard caught fire in
the second half. scoring on three consecu-
tive possessions to cut UK‘s lead to just two
points at 38-36 seven minutes into the sec-
ond half.

Ard scored 18 of Lipscomb‘s 26 second-
half points on seven-of-seven shooting
from the field, but the sharp-shooting
swingman‘s monster effort wasn't enough
to overcome the stellar play of UK sopho-
more point guard Rajon Rondo. who
poured in a career-best 19 points and once
again led the Cats with seven rebounds.

“Rajon has played two excellent games
now," head coach Tubby Smith said.

But Rondo was the only bright spot on
the boards for the Cats, who were out re-
bounded by the smaller Bison. 34-30.

for one million students by 2017

By Dariush Shafa
nit xmrucrv mm

A commission is pushing for national
funding of a $125 million budget to send one
million students from across the nation to
study abroad each year, and one.of UK‘s offi-
cials is part of the process.

John Yopp. associate provost and director
of the Appalachian Mathematics and Science
Partnership, has served as project director on
an advisory board to the Commission on the
Abraham Lincoln Study Abroad Fellowship
Program. He said he believes that understand-
ing other nations and cultures is key to this
country succeeding in the international
sphere.

“Unless we understand what's going on
with other countries. we can‘t be competi-
tive," Yopp said.

Yopp first became involved in the process
when he was vice president for higher educa-
tion strategic initiatives with the Educational
Testing Service. There, he met late Illinois
Senator Paul Simon, whom he credits as one
of the main backers for the project.

“It is so important for college students of
today to have the understanding of other cul-
tures. other peoples and other languages so
our citizens can better work in a globalized
world." Yopp said. “(Simonl believed that

else."

University Senate Chair
Ernie Yanarella agreed call-
ing the proposal a “golden
opportunity" for change.

“It's the last best chance
for several years to under-
take significant reforms to
the general education core of
this university." he said.

The proposal will now
move to an exploration com-
mittee aimed at building on
this foundation. No time
frames have been set at this
time

Yanarella said in a global
population one thing is clear.
“This and succeeding gener-
ations will live in a diverse
and multicultural world."

“It behooves this univer-
sity to establish a new foun-
dation for liberal arts educa
tion that is in keeping with
these emerging Blst century
realities." he said.

Also in yesterday‘s meet-
ing was the Senate Council's
presentation of the proposed
changes to the academic of-
fense policy. which include

According to Edwards.
the Safety Source program
has already made a presenta—
tion to all of UK‘s deans. in
addition, training has been
provided to all sorority presi-
dents as well as the faculty in
the social work department.

During training individu-
als receive facts about vio-
lence towards women on
campus. tips for dealing with
various problems. several
pamphlets and a sticker indi-
cating the Safety Source

er is placed in an easy-to-see

in the 2003-04 school year.
Kentucky institutions sent
about 1.1 percent. or 2.208 of
the nation's 191.321 students

According to the commis-
sion's report. it is possible by
the 2016‘]? school year to
send abroad one million stu-
dents about half the num-
ber of undergraduate de»

adding a new "XE" grade
and allowing a student who
received an "E” to repeat a
course to improve one's
GPA.

The council reiterated its
position that these proposed
changes are much needed.

Bob Grossman. professor
of chemistry and academic
offenses senate subcommit-
tee chair. said repeat offend»
ers are not being caught and
many professors are bending
the rules to meet students
halfway or cut down on pa-
per work.
“Students are also being
blackmailed into forgoing
the appeal process in many
situations because a profes-
sor offers a lesser punish-
ment than what is defined
under the current guide-
lines," Grossman said.

Not all the faculty in at
tendance agreed.

Many cited problems
within the proposal such as
its failure to address situa—
tions where students are be
ing taught by a teaching as-
sistant or its introduction of
a time limit by which an of-
fense remains on a student‘s
record.

Horst Schach. depart-
ment chair for UK‘s [and-

college level you see this vio-
lence against women the
training addresses the appro
priate ways to encourage
them to get help.“ Gabbard
said.

Gabbard said if a woman
is not comfortable going to
Women's Place or any other
option to seek help. the indi»
vidual she originally saw
through the Safety Source
program can go along and be
supportive.

“We want a network on
campus where women who
have been victims can go to a
person they trust and know
they are going to be support-
ive.“ said Edwards.

Edwards said if the
whole campus becomes in-
volved. women who have
built relationships with cer-
tain staff or faculty members
would find more comfort in
seeking support.

”Violence against women
is not something we really

Yopp said completing this
mission was important to Si-
mon and should be impor-
tant to everyone in this coun-
try.

“Simon really deeply felt
that education is central to
creating a true citizen." Yopp
said. “He dedicated his whole
life to education and improv-
ing education for citizens of
the United States."

The report also states
that better education in other
cultures would benefit this
country in terms of econom—
ic competition. national secu-
rity and political leadership.

“This could have a very
positive effect." said David
Better. director of the office
of international affairs. “1
think if they can actually
meet their goal of a million
students going abroad in the
next 10 years. it's going to

said he doesn't think there’s
anything wrong with the
present system.

“What we need is to in-
form instructors on how to
enforce the current regula-
tions." he said. “Not a new
academic offense policy"

Schach. who previously
served on the appeals board
and is a former ombud. said
most important of all. is
maintaining a “level playing
field for all UK students.“

“UK is further ahead in
students rights that any of
its 19 benchmarks." he said.
“These proposed changes
will only legitimize the very
things it is intended to pro-
tect - under the table deal-
ings.”

The Senate Council will
return to this issue in its
next meeting scheduled for
Monday. ()nce today‘s discus-

They seemed like they wanted to run. but
couldn’t get enough offense going to do it.

They seemed uncomfortable with each
other; not yet knowing where they'd be at any
given time like the almost supernatural link
Rondo and Patrick Sparks had with each oth-
er at the beginning of last season.

Even that seems to be lacking. as Sparks‘
uninspired play so far this season has many
citizens of the Big Blue Nation wondering
what happened.

They‘re struggling to find their roles on
the team. and Smith is still working out the
kinks of the starting lineup.

But the talent is undeniable.

Lipscomb coach Steve Sanderson. son of
SEC legend Wimp. had trouble remembering
Rajon Rondo's name. though the UK point

guard had just earned the MVP of the Lex-
ington Regional for his performance against
Sanderson's squad.

“He’s one of the best players in the coun-
try and I can't remember his name." Bison
head coach said.

Rekalin Sims and Sheray Thomas hung
tough in the post. limiting Lipscomb center
Shaun Durant’s scoring in the second half to
four while contributing six points and forc-
ing several turnovers.

The Lipscomb center. a load at 6-foot-8. 250
pounds. moved UK starting center Lukasz

well in the first half. finishing the period with
four points and six rebounds. half of his final
totals in each category. but against opponents

Sanderson. when asked what he thought
UK‘s chances were this season. asked a burn-

His referral to sophomore center Ran-

was backed up a few seconds later with a
statement about UK‘s suddenly non-existent
post play: “I don't think those guys can score
enough to beat you."

There are always hang-ups at the begin-
ning of every season in every sport. and a na‘

different. While the parts don‘t exactly know
their positions in relation to the whole right

Brooks’ return boosts morale

By Chris Johnson
mt untucxv mm

Well. maybe the Cats meant a little
more than they let on.

After a 48-43 victory at Vanderbilt last
Saturday. UK players and head coach
Rich Brooks admitted that the news of
Brooks being retained for a fourth sea-
son eased a little of the pressure the
team felt.

“Coaching changes do a lot to a play-
er." said senior cornerback Antoine Huff-
man. who was recently named a national
semifinalist for the Ronnie Lott IMPACT
trophy, which emphasizes exemplary de-
fensive play on the football field as well
as community service and academics. "If
there‘s a new coach. you worry about
changes. how I‘m gonna be with this new
coach.

“We don‘t have to worry about that
this year."

Sophomore linebacker Joe Schuler.
who recovered a fumble and had six tack-
les against the Commodores. agreed.

“I think it allowed the team to be
more relented." Schuler said. "We know
who's gonna be the coach. who we can
trust."

Sophomore running back Rafael Lit-
tle was electric again last week. scoring
three rushing touchdowns and gaining
372 all‘purpose yards from scrimmage.

He was named the. Sl.c0m National
Player of the Week for his performance.

 

 

 

 

the third most yards from scrimmage in
a game in Southeastern Conference his
tory.

Little was also named SEC Special

high 372 all-purpose yards and rushed for three touchdowns in UK's 48-43 win over the 'Dores.

Teams Player of the Week for his punt
return heroics. averaging 44 yards on his
two returns anti delivering a career-high
57>yarder in the first half.

Brooks lauded his star's efforts.

“I‘d put him in the top four or five
(running backs in the conference)."
Brooks said. “I think he's the best least-
known player in the nation. and I hope
that changes soon."

When asked if Little deserved first
team All-SEC consideration. Brooks was
cautiously exuberant.

“He's not going to be first-team All<
SEC because he‘s playing at Kentucky"
Brooks said. “If he were anywhere else.
he'd be an All-American. I don't see any
way he can't be first-team All-SEC. He's
having a phenomenal year"

Little is tops in the nation in all-pur-
pose yards per game at 193.9 yards per

game. He has 973 rushing yards. 371 re-
ceiving yards. 302 punt return yards. anti
99 kickoff return yards this season.

In rushing and receiving. that‘s a to-
tal of 1.304 total offensive yards. The UK
offense has 2.850 total yards of offense
this season. which averages out to eighth
in the conference (316.67 yards per game.
one spot ahead of Tennessee).

Thus. Little accounts for 45.7 percent
of the team's offense this season.

Corner kick ,

Brooks smiled when asked about his
feelings were when junior cornerback Bo
Smith. who sat out last season with a
fractured skull suffered in a fight in Shel—
byville, was returning a blocked field
goal for a touchdown against the Cont-
modores.

“We have blocked so many kicks this

SPORTS BRIEFS

year and we were finally able to return
one for a score." Brooks said. “I was also
happy because of the struggles Bo has
had in the past and because of the shoul-
der problems he's fought this year. It's
great to see a young man who tries to do
things the right way. and has a lot of tal-
ent. get a big play like that."

Injury update
Senior tailback Arliss Beach has
been diagnosed with a high ankle sprain.
Brooks considered Beach doubtful for
Saturday's tnatchup against Georgia. Ju~
nior defensive end Durrell White (foot) is
also doubtful. Freshman cornerback
David Jones (concussion) is questionable
for Saturday with the lingering effects of
a bell ringing he took against Vanderbilt.
