Dent finally receives degree,
plans to enroll at UK today

 

By John Kelly
Sports Editor

 

Junior college transfer Rodney
Dent arrived in Lexington Saturday
afternoon and will register today for
classes at UK, with only one day to
spare before the fall registration
deadline.

Dent, a 6-foot-ll, IMO-pound
center from Edison. Ga.
who has played the leading
role in the most watched
UK recruiting story this
year. also will be eligible
to play basketball for Rick
Pitino this season.

Dent‘s legal guardian,
Warren Heagy. an Odessa,
Texas, attorney, reported
Friday that his adopted son
had passed a “challenge
exam" administered by Ho-
ward College to earn credit
for the history course he
needed to receive his asso~

ciate degree.
The exam was Dent's .
fourth attempt to earn

credit for the course and
the third institution at
which he had tried.

Dent will receive the de-
gree from Howard, a com-
munity college in Big
Springs, Texas, where he attended
two terms last year.

Copies of Dcnt‘s transcript and
other paperwork were faxed and
mailed to the admissions at office at
UK Friday morning, Heagy said.

The deadline for applying for ad-
mission to UK was Aug. 1. UK Di-
rector of Admissions would not say
whether Dent had applied before
the deadline. He declined to com-
ment on individual student applica-
tions.

Heagy said Dent applied for ad-
mission to UK last winter but said
he has never been accepted, offi-
cially or conditionally.

Copies of Dent’s academic
records also were faxed to the UK
basketball office. Heagy said he and
Dent talked several times with asso-
ciate coach Herb Sendek Friday af-
ternoon. Heagy said Sendek said
Pitino was “very happy.”

As for whether or not UK would
accept the course as transferable
and admit Dent, Heagy said he fore-
saw “no problem."

After Dent‘s third failure, Heagy
talked with Howard’s dean of coun-
seling services Harvey Rothell
about possible options Dent might

 

November
won’t speak
on ABC rule

 

By Joe Braun
Editorial Editor

 

Representatives of the
Student Gmemment Asso-
ciation's executive branch
have decided not to testify
against a proposed regula-
tion that would prevent
people under the age of 2]
from entering drinking es-
tablishments in Kentucky.

Vice President Lea Ann
Davenport said she, along
with President Pete Novem-
ber. and the three executive
directors, met Friday after-
noon to discuss whether
they would travel to Frank-
fort, Ky., tomorrow to
speak to a review commit-
tee making suggestions to
the Alcohol Beverage Con-
trol Commission on the
matter.

"1 really didn't feel as if
there was enough students
who had given me input."
November said.

Because the committee
cannot change regulations
scheduled to go into effect
no later than Sept 10. but

have to graduate. Heagy said he
also told Rothell that Dent had av-
eraged 88 percent on his homework
assignments and that he felt confi-
dent that he knew the material for
the course.

Rothell informed Heagy that
Dent might be able to take the
“challenge exam" and checked into
it. Rothell then informed Heagy that
Dent could take the exam at 1:30
. pm. Thursday, and the
student rushed to Howard
College.

Mary Bailey, head of
the history department at
Howard and a professor
there for 25 years, de-
signed and administered
the test. The test consisted

of 125 multiple choice
questions and four essay
questions.

“I never even got in-
volved." Heagy said. “I
don’t even know her. She
had to give her OK to give
Rodney her challenge
exam."

Bailey phoned Heagy
with the results Friday
morning. Dent was at Hea-
gy's office when the news
' arrived.

Heagy said Dent was

“ecstatic" about playing for
UK.

Dent’s connection with UK has
ketball program began while he was
playing basketball for Odessa Col-
lege in 19909], when an Odessa
assistant contacted Sendek on
Dent‘s behalf.

Since then it has been a rough
and tumble ride for both Dent and
UK:

oAfter verbally committing to UK
in December of last year. Dent had
planned to enroll this spring but
could not meet the requirements for
admission in time to register for
classes. He needed a science course
and a history course to receive a
junior college degree.

-He met the science requirement
in mid-January by taking an ocean
ecology course, which consisted of
a one-day field trip and a final
exam, through Odessa College. But
he failed a history correspondence
course he was taking from Texas
Tech University.

-F0rced to sit out the spring se-
mester. Dent scared Pitino by mak-
ing a last-minute recruiting visit to
Louisville before signing a binding

Many at UK
trust leaders’
judgement

 

By John Kelly
Sports Editor

 

The fourth time was the
charm for Rodney Dent. but
whether his junior-college
saga has charmed the UK
community still remains a
question.

The hasty circumstances of
Dent's arrival at UK have
looked suspicious to some on
the campus. But at the the
same time a theme of trust
has enveloped the campus.

The majority of reaction
thus far from faculty and Uni-
versity officials has been a
wait-and—see attitude.

“The only cunency we
have in this world is our in-
tegrity,“ UK mathematics
professor Paul Eakin said Fri-
day afternoon. “How that
might be diminished or im-
puncd by something that we
do is important to think
about.

“But I guess we have to
give these people the benefit
of the doubt. We have to be-
lieve in the integrity of the
people in our own Athletics
Association because they had
to have been involved. And
we have to look at the integri-
ty of the people that made
and administered the test.

“But even without all of
the facts. it does sound suspi-
cious."

Senior Resa Wright, one of
two student representatives
appointed to the Athletics As-
sociation Board of Directors
by UK President Charles
Wethington, said that she will
suppon the leadership of the
depanment until she per-
ceives a problem.

“We’ve chosen our leaders
in Coach (Rick) Pitino and
(Athletics Director C.M.)
Newton and they have been

Communi-K being published monthly because of budget

 

By Pam Mitchell
Contributing Writer

 

The weekly Communi-K, UK’s
faculty and staff newspaper, felt the
sting of this year’s Universitywide
budget cuts, when it was modified
to a monthly publication last week.

Communi-K Editor Heidi Bright
Parales said the staff will continue
to publish an eight-page tabloid, in-
cluding “major calendar events. an—
nouncements, news briefs and hous-
ing ads.”

To account for the forfeited edi-

tions, UK Public Relations has set
up a new electronic mail memo that
will be produced daily through the
UK computer system.

“Our weekly ‘Monday Memo’ is
new daily, and we have renamed it
‘Daily Digest,’ " Parales said.

Monday’s “Daily Digest" will in—
clude events taking place that
week. The rest of the week, the
memo will include daily news re-
ports.

Ann Gan’ity, assistant to the
chancellor for the Lexington Cam-
pus, said the new “Daily Digest" is
more efficient titan the weekly

Communi-K. “Before, when Com-
muni-K was weekly, things were
being reported so far in the past or
in the future that they didn't relate
to my day-to—day life.“

All UK department heads are re-
sponsible for posting the “Daily Di-
gest" each day of the work week for
staff members without electronic
mail accessibility.

Communi-K now offers campus
departments and organizations the
opportunity to purchase news sup-
plements in the monthly edition.
Parales said supplements are pub-
lished in increments of four, eight

Changes to medical curriculum
noticeable to college’s students

 

By Christine Brumley
Contributing Writer

Students entering UK's College
of Medicine this semester will be
the first to experience the begin-
nings of a new curriculum.

The college was one of eight
medical schools in the country to
receive the 52.5 million Robert
Wood Johnson Foundation Grant,
awarded in February. The grant,
designed to orient students with
practical medical experience earlier
in the program. is calling for a
change of pace and advancements

in the core curriculum as a whole.

“The students are really excited
about the opportunity to apply and
integrate information earlier in the
program. It makes them better med-
ical decision makers." said Assist-
ant Dean of Admissions Dr. Carol
Elam.

In line with schools like Johns
Hopkins and Yale universities, UK
was chosen to participate in “Pre-
paring Physicians for the Future: A
Program in Medical Education." the
foundation's contribution to initiate
changes and award the college for
its desire to make sweeping chang-
es in the medical field.

Although the entire cun'iculum
change won‘t go into effect until
the fall of next year, students this
year are offered two new classes:
Physicians, Patients, & Society and
Introduction to the Medical Profes-
sion.

Elam said both classes stress
more small group teaching and pro-
vide the social and ethical aspects
of health care, as well. “There will
be clinical contact the first year and
hands on experience with patients."

“It is good to introduce clinical
thinking as soon as possible," said

Adult support services’ non-credit courses offer advantages

 

By Alison Paddock
Contributing Writer

 

Are you repulsed by the sight of
a beaker or a Bunsen burner? Has
it been years since you‘ve attempt-
ed a late-night term paper?

If you are an adult considering a
return to college life. then the UK
Academic Support Services for
Adults might be able to lend a
hand.

Susan Byars. spokeswoman for
the program. said the center will
offer two new non-credit courses
this fall to help prospective adult
students adjust to college life.

“If you‘ve been out of school for

 

LCC grads
rank highest
on dental test

By Lance Williams
Contributing Writer

 

 

For the second time iii the
past five years. graduates of
the Dental laboratory Tech-
nology Program at Lexington
Community College finished
with the highest scores in the
nation on the Recognized
Graduate lixam.

The exam. which covers
all aspects of dental technolo-
gy. was given to graduates of
accredited dental laboratory
technology programs all
across the country.

“My first reaction was one
of joy and pride in the stu-
dents that graduates this past
year." said Art Dameron.
program director.

He added that this achieve-
ment will encourage Ken-
tuckians to take pride in LCC
and its willingness to serve
the community.

L(‘("s dental program is
no stranger to nationwide
success. In the past seven
years. the graduating classes
have been ranked in the top
four in the nation every year
and have finished lower than
fourth only once since 1980.

“The level of excellence in
our teachers shows that they
are extremely committed to
the careers of their students."
Dameron said.

Dameron said that both
LCC and UK have been very
supportive of the program
and that the accessibility of
the facilities has been a ma-
jor factor iii the school‘s suc-
cess.

The two labs. one in the
John W. Oswald Building
and the other in the UK
School of Dentistry, allow
both first- and second-year
students to get hands-on ex-
perience at the same time
that they‘re leaniing the ma-
terial.

Ilelen Newman. a member
of the top-ranking graduating
class, said she was excited
and proud and that her train-
ing had prepared her for the
road ahead. “'Ihey (teachers)
are thorough . The faculty
gives 100 percent and would
bend over backwards to help
us."

“I have a lot of relatives
and friends who are dentists.
and they say that dental grad-
uates from LCC are top as—
sets.” said Nathan Kirkwood,
a second-year student and
one of 32 students currently
enrolled in the program.

a while. it can be scary." she said.

Byars described “Effective Wn't-
ing: Strategies for Adult Students“
as a course designed to help adult
students master the basics of writ~
ing for college classes.

“Chemistry for Cowards" is de-
signed to reacquaint adult students
with basic concepts of chemistry.

Byars said there are advantages
to taking these and other non-credit
courses at UK. although the cours-
es do not award academic credit.

Byars said the courses are low in
cost. usually $25 to $35. a plus to
adult students with families. who
must budget carefully.

“Non-credit courses in no way
affect your (grade-point averagel."

Byers said.

Students in non-credit courses
do not have to be enrolled at UK.
Courses like “Chemistry for Cow-
ards" can help an adult student dis-
cover whether he or she is ready to
return to school.

She said: “If you've never had
chemistry before. or it‘s been 15
years. this is a good course."

She said the program will offer
other courses this fall. including
“Refreshing Your Mathematical
Memory." “Getting Back to Alge-
bra." "The Backbones of English".

The department's most popular
program is a course to review math
skills for the Graduate Record
[{Xiun. Because of its relevimce to

all students. students of arty age are
encouraged to enroll.

Byars said Academic Support
Services for Adults was founded
about 12 years ago and has been
offering programs for adults ever
since. The department has academ-
ic advisors. scholarships mid a
newsletter to assist adult students.

Byars said cuts in University
funding so far have not affected
the quzuttity of programs or servic-
es offered by the deparunent. In-
stead. the deparunent has widened
the scope of its services each year.

Students who wish to enroll iti
one of the dcparunent‘s courses or
need more iiifonnation should call

Donna Levi. by University stari-

She is a wife and mother of two.

boost came I-‘riday. when l.cvi be-
came one of eight students from
eight states to receive a Philip Mor-
ris (‘o.-sponsorcd scholarship.

With her husband at her side.
Levi received the $2.000 renewable
scholarship. presented by Kentucky

“The scholarship is really benefi-
cial. and I am very proud of her and
so are the children." said her hus-
band lerry.

The scholarship. III its first year.

students to the careers iii education.

Scholarship applicants must have
a sophomore rtmking. a major or

clude a 750-word essay on what he

children will receive a teacher as

“Your drczun is strong." liord
told I.cvi. “and II will benefit your

friend to l'K" and is “absolutely a
big supporter of education“ dedicat-
ing much time to improving educa—
tion with such projects as the Ad-

Ticket tiff business as usual for Ky.

 

By Mark B. Chellgren

ANALYSIS

 

FRANKFORT. Ky. ~ ()n the
big scale. it does not rank up there
with world peace. human hunger or
even the federal deficit. They‘re
only tickets. after all.

What‘s the big deal if UK. or
Louisville or Murray or Fastem. for
that matter. hand out free tickets to
the big shots in state govenunent‘.’

Why shouldn't the big shots get
something else special? It‘s just
business as usual. Just another little
example of the arrogance of power.

Exactly.

In the case of Wildcat fans and
Cardinal fans. they can't get tickets
at all short of begging. borrowing.
stealing or scalping. Arid iii the
case of the other universities. the
average fan can‘t just call up the
president‘s office and ask for a
couple of freebies to the next game.

The reasons for this sweethean
arrangement are simple enough.

The big shots in the legislature
take the tickets because they think
they‘re entitled to them. Legislators
don't pay for many things on their

own anyway :uid are genuinely sur—
prised when someone suggests they
pull out their own wallets. 'lhat
makes the current rush among
some of them to pay UK for their
tickets so amusing.

If it was so important for them to
demonstrate their purity. why
didn‘t they do it before now‘.’ Prior
to the current controversy. only one
legislator voluntarily paid for his

UK tickets, and he did so without .

fanfare or publicity. It was Rep. .Ioc
Clarke. the beacon of respectability
III the General Assembly.

Gov. Brercton Jonesfon the other
hand. makes no apologies for tak-
ing his tickets from I'K. All eight
of them. In fact. he said he hits an
obligation to take free IICKL‘IS.

From his recovery room at his
Woodford County horse fann. the
millionaire thoroughbred breeder
released an official statement on
the matter after the chainiitui of his
ethics commission suggested II
might set a good estunple for Jones
and others to pay for their tickets.

bed to marry.
Consequently. he
has classic Freu-
dian nightmares
and breaks out
into a cold sweat
at the mere mention of the “m"
word.

Sarah Jessica Parker plays Jack‘s
long-suffering girlfriend. Betsy No-
lan, with a fair amount of grace.
The role easily could have deterio-
rated to a basic bimbo like Parker‘s
valley girl character in “LA. Sto-
ry.“ instead. she gives Betsy dignity
in her search for a home and family
of her own.

Betsy finally persuades Jack to
tie the knot, and he suggests they
fly to Vegas to perform the ceremo
ny in grand style.

The fun begins when the happy
couple arrives in Vegas The film
capitalizes on the rising tide of El-
vismania. A hilarious running gag
shows Elvis impersonators of all
ages and races. all thoroughly en-
joying their renderings of the King.
Elvis songs are spliced cleverly
throughout the film as well. and the
refrain “only fools rush in " from
his classic song “I Can't Help Fall-
ing in Love with You" even serves
as a moral message.
