Possible picket being planned by patients

By Kathy Radlng
Staff Writer

UK heart-lung transplant
patients may picket the UK Chan-
dler Medical Center later this
week because they say they are not
receiving sufficient post—operative
care.

Vernon Scott, a 1993 heart
recipient from Ashland, said
patients in UK's heart-lung trans-
plant support group will officially
vote this afternoon on whether or
not they will picket and when the
demonstration will occur.

Scott said although the vote has
not been taken yet, he predicts the
group will give unanimous sup-
port to picketing.

Scott said the patients decided
to take these measures after meet-
ing twice with Dr. James
Holsinger, Medical Center chan—
cellor, to discuss hiring additional
physicians to staff the heart-lung
transplant unit.

“Dr. Holsinger is adamant that
we are getting proper care," Scott
said. “He is either not aware of
(lack of patient care) or he is
choosing to ignore it. \\'e are not

getting proper care."

Scott said the patient group has
appealed to hospital administra—
tion to correct the problem by
hiring additional cardiologists and
lung specialists. He said adminis~
trators now say they will hire
them, but won't acknowledge that
a problem exists. He also said that
while administrators may have
said they would hire more doc»
tors, they have not done it yet.

“It’s gotten to the point where
patients can’t take it any longer,”
Scott said.

By Jolt Vinson
Campus Editor

Sen. Bill Bradley (D—N.J.),
who is retiring from the Senate,
made Lexington one of his stops
alon his farewell tour.

T e senator visited the Blue-
grass yesterday to promote his
new book, praise Prestonsburg
and watch some UK hoo s.

Joseph—Beth Booksel ers held
a booksigning for Lexingtonians
who wanted to meet Bradley and
have him autograph his new

' fbook, “Time Present, Time Past,
A Memoir. ” In the book, Bradley
describes his travels across the
United States, the places he has
been and the people he has
encountered.

“I really wrote the book for a
Couple of reasons,” Bradley said.
“I wanted to let people get a feel
for what it was to be a U S. Sena-
tor in this articular time in our
count ’s isto — that the
wouldrget a feellfiln what I heard:
.what I saw, what I felt in differ-

? ent circumstances.”

' This book, in the abstract, is
‘similar to another Bradley piece,
“Life on the Run,” which he
wrote at the end of his rofes-
sional basketball career. “Life on
the Run” told about his experi—
ences in the National Basketball
Association while playing for the
New York Knicks, .he said.

“I guess you can say it’s a book
about identity, my own identity
and the country‘s identity at this
particular time,” Bradley said.

One of the people he met dur—
ing his three terms as a senator
was Deborah Floyd, president of
Prestonsburg Community Col~
lege. While visiting the school
there, he saw positive things hap—

ening in the Community (‘ol-
l)ege System, some of which he
mentions in his book.

“I thought that it was a very

ood example where one person
has made a difference,” Bradley
said. “In addition, I wanted to get
to a deeper level about the people
living in Eastern Kentucky. I
think that frequently there are a
lot of stereotypes that are passed
around, as opposed to seeing
who the real people are.”

He said he found that it was a
wealthy community in the sense
of the human experience.

“Obviously there are stark
contrasts of poverty and wealth.
There is also however a deeper
underpinning of attachment to
community, place, to neighbor
that illustrates some of the things
I’m talking about in the coun-
try,” Bradley said.

Bradley added that communi~
ty colleges, like Prestonsburg,
have an important role to play in
society.

Community colleges are a
“vast network of potential that
can actually fit very well into the
kind of things we have to do if we
are going to move into the 2 lst
century as a healthy, vibrant
econom ," he said.

Bra ley stayed to watch UK
glay Arkansas as a guest of UK
resident Charles Wethington.

Bradley said it was a thrill for
he and his family to have former
UK coach Adolf Rupp come to
his house tp recruit him

 

Besignations, purgings
lcrcc changes in Senate

By Alison Kighl

Executive Editor

New faces have been and will continue to be
prevalent in the Student Government Association
this semester, following the wake of four purgations

and several resignations. ‘

Senate Coordinator Alan Aja said two senators
were purged from the senate last semester: Jeff
Lowe, the senator from the College of Pharmacy,
and Todd Shock, frotn the College of Human Envi-

ronmental Sciences.

“They were just not showing up, so we decided to

remove them,” Aja said.

Lowe was replaced by Paul McCreary, and Shock
was replaced by April Sapp. So far this semester, at
least one senator has been removed because of the
SGA Constitution attendance policy.

Senator at large Brad Eggert was purged because,
according to Senate attendance records, he was fully
or partially absent from four meetings without an

EXCUSE.

Aja said Eggert worked at UK's home basketball
games in Rupp Arena, which sometimes clashed
with the SGA's bi-weekly meetings.

Aja said the SGA Constitution’s attendance poli-
cy for senators doesn’t allow for outside work to

conflict with Senate meetings.

Aja said SGA follows the Student Rights and
Responsibilities guidebook attendance policy.

Eggert has a right to appeal his purgation, but
said he didn‘t know whether or not he would,Aia
said..Eggert could not be reached for comment as of

last night.

One of the first students to resign this semester
was College of Education Senator Craig \Vallace.

Wallace said he worked about 30 hours a week off
campus, and didn’t have time to be on the Senate
while he was working and attending classes,

“Basically I became disinterested,” Wallace said.
“(Being in the senate) didn't turn out to be all that I

expected.”

College Architecture Senator Dan Uyhelji and
College of Social Work senator Amy Razor also
resigned this semester, citing time constraints.
