Ifwe do more than the 2.4, than we‘ve already taken a cut."

In addition, Zinser said the Lexington catnpus also antici-
pates less tuition revenue next year.

“\Ve also know that due to a change in the mix ofstudents
and some of these retention issues, we have some softening
for our enrollment," she said. “That translates out to a
reduction of $640,000 to the Lexington campus only, based.
on tuition shortfalls."

\Vithin a week to 10 days, UK college deans and other administra-
tors will have a tnore accurate picture of just how much reallocating of
funds they will have to do to balance the Lexington canipus‘ 1997-1998

“Nothing can be determined for sure until we finish

According to Zinser, several factors work into the

budget because a shortfall is expected.

One reason for the shortfall is that the state, in its
biennial ap iropriation to its universities, budgets enough for a 2.4 per—

cent cost ofliving increase for salaries.

However, UK wants to give its faculty a 3 percent increase to keep

pace with peer institutions’ salaries.

UK President Charles \Vethington has asked the Chancellors and
vice presidents to work for a plan to allow for the 3 percent increase.

Architecture students at UK have it made this
week. The College ofArchitecture canceled classes
for the week to promote Architecture Week.

However, these loyal students aren’t partying like
most undergraduates would at the thought of a week
without classes. Architecture students are working
around the clock on projects like a playground for
The Montessori school.

A visit to campus at 12:30 a.m. on Monda would
be futile had someone been looking for a ro essor or
an arts and sciences major, yet Pence Hall seemed to
emanate life as about 15 architecture students
worked on unusual models and brightly colored
cardboard the students described as “a couple of guys
playing with paint trying to find a form.”

The project was the collective work of many
minds. One group of three worked on a scale model
of the Montessori school, arranging trees and play-
ground equipment.

Another group hidden among the cigarette smoke
and coffee grounds contemplatedfplastic shapes that
were to be the essence, perhaps, 0 some great child-
hood outdoor adventure.

Upstairs in 106, the room resembled a garage
before a yard sale in the spring. This particular stu—
dio was an explosion of creativity.

Wires dangled from the ceiling holding colorful
box lamps, a cup chandelier and many other odds and
ends that undoubtedly were someone’s project last
semester.

In the studio, the Mike Brady notion of architec—
ture was shattered — around the room were M&M
wra pers, old trunks, sleeping bags, blankets and
ROI erblades.

In one comer of the room were sunflowers, which
contrasted greatly with another corner, where the
genie from Aladdin, stood with his face cut off to
remove his overjoyed smile.

 

James Chapman, vice chancellor for public service, said
90 fewer out—of-state students last fall cut anticipated funds.

With 70 percent of an approximate $250 million lexing-
ton campus budget going toward salaries, tuttion shortfall
makes a difference in the marginal amount of the total bud-

Throw in increases in fixed costs such as utilities, rising

The students mentioned their quest for “true real—
ity.” They were questioning, “What is the essence of
this?”

“It’s not physical. Architecture is a process to get
from one spot to another —— a transformation,” said
Hiram Dudley Ives, III, a first-year architecture stu-
dent.

“We put in over 100 hours of work on projects
last week,” said Peter Preisler, a fifth—year architec—
ture student.

“Many sleep in their studios. You truly have to
love it; everything is architecture,” Ives said.

Most of the 300 architecture students have devot—
ed their lives to the projects huddling in the halls of
the architecture sanctuary, which the students claim
consumes “more coffee in a year than any other
building on campus."

“I’m going to buy stock in Maxwell House,” joked
Dana Motley, a first-year architecture student.

These students take field trips to New York, Los
Angeles and New Orleans to get ideas about the
essence of objects. One group is working on the
Oklahoma City Bombin Memorial; another is
workin on a bus stop for the city.

Mari O’Bryan, an architecture professor, and his
gjroup of seven or eight students are lecturing at the

niversity of Cincinnati with an open discussion to
follow the presentation —— not a traditional teaching
setting.

From first year through fifth year, architecture
students work together.

“We are one big, happy family,” Preisler said.
“We et to know each other better and get to work
with (Efferent people.”

Senators only IIBDIIIB able to SIIDIISOI‘ TIIIIII I‘BIIIIBSTS

A debate ensued after a constitutional amendment
passed easily concerning bill sponsorship.

The amendment requires that a senator
be the primary sponsor of any bill request-
ing funds from the Student Government
Association.

Shortly after senators passed the amend-
ment 26-2, SGA President Alan Aja, who is
a non-voting member, spoke out against
the amendment.

“With all do respect, Senator Tomblyn, I highly
dis: cc,” he said.

“fast half the fact that a student can't sponsor a
bill and an executive officer can’t be the primary

 

SGA

sponsor of a bill, I don’t think that’s right.”

Previousl , bills could be sponsored by anyone in
the student ody. SGA executive directors sponsor
more bills than anyone in the executive branch.

Vice President Chrissy Guyer disagreed with Aja,
callin the amendment a “ eat idea.”

“(Sinators) should do e work of spon-
sorin a bill,” Guyer said.

T e “Margaret Amendment,” named in
honor of the SGA office secretary, also
holds senators who sponsor a funding-
request bill responsible for ensuring that
the group asking for the money gets reim-
bursement within 60 days after the event.

Graduate Student senator Michael Tomblyn,
author of the amendment, defended it saying the
only people senators can hold accountable and con-

 

 

sequently punish if they don't comply is other sena—
tors.

“It only makes sense. If you can’t find one senator
to sponsorJlour bill, you’re definitely not going to
get it asse ,” he said.

0 er senators praised the bill for it creates better
communication between the senator and the group
bein funded.

" yone who's been in 'the office knows what
kind of trouble we’ve had with money being dis-
tributed, and this takes care of the problem,” saidjoe
Schuler, Senator at Lar e .

Tombl explained 5‘6 amendment resulted from
a conflict ast July when a group asked why it hadn‘t
received the money SGA approved the past October.

the ability to fill leadership posi-
tions,” Stewart said.

Bailey pointed out that it is this
commitment to excellence, cen—
tering solely on providing a better
university for students, that makes
Grundy so esteemed.

“Chester Grundy wants to see
that students receive a quality
education,” he said.

“Every student who comes
into contact with Chester has a
great deal of respect for him.”

Preisler called the group a
charrette, which he called “a pro-
ject with a short time span direct-
ed toward the collection and

development of ideas.” h

The Montessori school project
this gTou worked on in charrette
was slow y coming together. The
children of the school had a
“sense of building their own play-

ound.”

the older children on the righiif
Some of the designers hope to
include a kiln for the children tb
make plates which would go into
the equipment or design.

“We want to shy away from'
wood,” Preisler said. “Most lay-
ground equipment is ma e of-
chemically treated wood which
can be dangerous if unattended-
children were to chew on it.”

This group is using “earth
materials” to sculpt the landscape
to find a balance.

:Tllil'll-I‘anltetl Wildcats hold all three-happy Alabama

Staff wire report

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Ron Mercer hit two key three-
pointers down the stretch and finished with 23 points last
night to lead No. 3 UK to a 75-61 victory over Alabama.

. After Alabama cut a double-digit lead to four points with

four minutes left, Mercer highlighted a 10-3 run with his

, two long-range shots to give the Wildcats (25-3, l 1.2
Southeastern Conference) 3 67-56 lead with 2:47 left.

“We were running plays because (Mercer) had that look
in his eye that he wanted to take the big shots,” UK Coach
Rick Pitino said on the UK Radio Network post—game
show. “Early in the game, I thought he was going to have
one of his worst nights. He was lethargic, he was giving up
second shots, he wasn't aggressive.

“The first time out I said ‘Ron, you’re not going to have
a good night unless you get after it,” Pitino said. “Then
when they made their run, he came alive.”

A minute later, he slammed home an uncontested dunk
to start another 8—0 run that erased all hopes undemianned

, Alabama (14-12, 4-9) had for an upset.

The Crimson Tide played its third straight game with
three players on suspension and with only eight scholarship
players on the active roster.

As he had in the other two games, point guard Brian
Williams played 40 minutes and led Alabama in scoring,
this time with l8 points.

But that wasn’t enough to beat a UK team that got l3
points and nine rebounds from freshman center jamaal
Magloire and another l2 from guard Allen Edwards.

UK won des ite shooting just 38 percent from the field,
which made it ard for the Wildcats to establish the full-
court press they used to win their last four games by an
average of 32 points.

Playing at its tempo, Alabama led through most of the
first half. But Mercer hit four free throws and a layup dur-
ing a 13-0 run to end the halfand give the Wildcats a 32—24
lead.

“Vl’e came in not playing too hard in the first two min-
utes of the game,” Magloire said afterwards. “Collectively
as a team, we can together and pulled off the victory.

“They (Alabama) were at home, so they came with an
intensity we didn’t match that for the first couple of min-

the home crowd.

Magloire answered with a jumper in the paint and after
Williams missed a three-pointer, UK ran plays for Mercer
on the next two possessions. The sophomore responded by
hittin both of his three-pointers from just to the left of the
top 0 the key.

Magloire led the Cats with four blocks, which intimidat-
ed the Tide as the game wore on.

“I’m really not concerned with individual statistics,”
Magloire said. “I’m a team player and will do anything it
takes to win.”

The win is the first of three road games for the Cats,
who next travel to Nashville, Tenn., to face Vanderbilt at
Memorial Gymnasium. on Saturday afternoon at 3.

“We play better when we’re on the road because every—
body is against, and we like that," Magloire said. “\\'e have
to play hard on the road, at home, everywhere we go."

The Commodores (17-8, 8—5) defeated (ieorgia 86-80
on the Bulldogs’ home court. The win gives Vandy sole
possession of third place in the SEC East. UK defeated
Vanderbilt once already, by a 58-46 score at Cincinnati’s
Riverfront Coliseum.
