IVILK Provost: five dean vacancies'normal

search at

year away

By Laura Clark

The Martin Luther King Jr. Cul-
tural Center will go without a perma-
nent program director for the rest of
this academic year.

Veleashia Smith left her position
as director of the MLK Center at the
end of August following her resigna-
tion in the spring.

The search for a replacement will
not begin until UK has decided how
to reorganize multicultural affairs and
diversity efforts. said Pat Terrell. vice
president for student affairs.

The responsibility of reorganizing
falls to Judy “JJ.” Jackson. vice pres-
ident for institutional diversity. Jack-
son‘s began the new position on July
1.

Jackson said her main aim was to
get to know the staff and the work
they‘ve been doing.

“I need to know what‘s already
going on. what‘s working well. and
then have some time to visit with
folks before I make too many deci-
sions about what needs to change."
.lackson said.

Smith's position is currently ﬁlled
by the first MLK Center director.
Chester Grundy. Grundy. interim di-
rector through June 2009. said be-
cause Jackson is new. she is still as—
sessing all of her resources and other
staff positions.

Grundy said holding this position
for an entire year was a smart deciv
sion.

“It Would be difficult to bring in a
new person in the middle of the year
to take Smith‘s position." he said.

Smith is now the assistant director
in the Office of Multicultural Affairs
at Western Kentucky University.
Smith could not be reached to com-
ment on the reorganization or why
she left.

Terrell said Smith resigned to be
closer to her family.

Also on Jackson's plate is the re-
placement of Mahjabeen Rafiuddin.
the former director of Student Diver—
sity Engagement who resigned in
June. Rafiuddin resigned. and like
Smith‘s position. hers remains un-
filled with no date for a replacement.

Once Rafiuddin's position is
filled. it will operate under a new title
and report to the Office of Student lnv
volvcment instead of the Office of
Multicultural Affairs. Terrell said.

While six of UK‘s college deans have
left their positions in the past two years,
UK Provost Kumble Subbaswamy said
the turnover isn‘t out of the ordinary.

» The national average for a dean‘s
tenure is about 6.5 years. Subbaswamy
said. This makes the vacancies of the po—
sitions at UK normal. he said.

“Deans typically move on to higher
positions or return to the faculty after
their service." Subbaswamy said. “We
are fortunate that some of the senior
deans who have stepped down in the past
couple of years will remain on the facul-
ty.

“We benefit from their experience
while enjoying the ideas and enthusiasm
of new leadership.“

Since 2006. six of UK's 18 college
deans have resigned from their positions.
David Mahoney of the College of Design
was replaced by Michael Speaks during
the spring semester.

Still vacant are the positions left by
Steve Hoch in Arts and Sciences. David
Johnson in Communications and lnfor~
mation Studies. Jim Cibulka in Educa~
tion. Allan Vestal in Law and Kay Hoff~
man in Social Work. Each dean served
between five and 13 years.

Four of the deans - Hoffman. John-
son. Mahoney and Vestal — will return or
have returned to faculty positions. said
UK spokesman Tom Harris.

UK is continuing its search to replace
the deans of the remaining colleges. The

a slow offense for Brooks'

said. "i went in there to give

It took Cobb. the first

injected life into a stagnant
UK offense. His first play he
bolted up the middle for 16
yards. 'I‘wo snaps later. he
scampered 18 yards for his
ﬁrst career college touch-
down.

Then he fired a laser
beam to Kyrus Lanxter for 27
yards. capped that with a
touchdown run. and then
ﬂoated a beautiful 14-yard
fade to Dicky Lyons Jr. in the
end zone. Just like that it was
21-().

“When we made that sub-
stitution, it gave us a real
spark," Brooks said.

More like it added fuel to
an offensive that was in des-
perate need of a little fire-
power. In just three drives,
Cobb did what Hartline could
not do: put points on the
scoreboard.

Cobb led UK to 21 points
in just over a quarter‘s worth
of work. Hartline. on the oth-
er hand. had mustered just
seven points in over a game.
with the one touchdown com-
ing at the benefit of a
Louisville turnover last week.

But Cobb turned the ball
over twice. One was a fumble
where Cobb sat in the pocket
too long. and the other was a
bad interception where he
tried to force the ball into
space that just wasn’t there.
They were typical freshman
mistakes.

They were mistakes Hart-
line. UK‘s second candidate.
hasn’t made yet. He‘s been
steady. reliable and almost
boring to a point. That isn‘t a
bad thing.

Sometimes you need a
quarterback who can manage
the game. not make mistakes
and let everybody else do
what they need to do to win

The UK offense awaits instructions from freshman quarterback Randall Cobb during its 38.3 win over
Norfolk State on Saturday at Commonwealth Stadium Cobb contributed on three UK first-half scores

the game. With the way the
defense has played through
the first two games. that
doesn‘t sound like too bad of
an idea.

Plus. Hartline has shown
the qualities of somebody
you want leading your team.
Amid'the pressure of replac-
ing All—Southeastem Confer-
ence quarterback Andre
Woodson and the saga of
Curtis Pulley. Hartline has
said and done all the right
things. His teammates and
coaches rave about his lead-
ership on and off the field
and have been behind him
from the moment Woodson
was drafted by the New York
Giants.

But is leadership alone
enough to keep the starting
job? After all. Hartline doesn‘t
possess the speed. potential or
big—play ability that Cobb
does. plus it was pretty obvi-
ous Sunday who was running
the offense more efficiently.

Maybe five quarters was—
n‘t enough to warrant the

change at the qumterback po~
sition. but Brooks said they
had planned to play both
guys all along. That‘s why
Hartline. despite clearly being
outplayed by Cobb. started
the second half.

That brought about a
classless chorus of boos from
Commonwealth Stadium.
which was completely un—
called for given the limited
action we‘ve seen from both
quarterbacks.

"There‘s no place for that
in this stadium." Brooks said.
"Those two young men are
both inexperienced quarter—
backs. They‘re both going to
probably play as we move
forward. We need them both.
and we‘ll put the players on
the field when we need to win
the gatne. but we don‘t need
to be booing our own damn
players in Commonwealth
Stadium. That just makes me
sick to my stomach."

The spattering of jecrs
made it pretty obvious who
the nearly 70,000 fans want

throwing the pigskin. But that
isn‘t going to affect who
Brooks decides to go with utt-
der center. For now. Brooks
said he won‘t name a starter
for the Middle Tennessee
game until later this week and
that both will see the field for
the foreseeable future.

“If we’re not moving the
ball. we‘re going to shake it
up." Brooks said. “If I had
my druthers id rather not do
that. but that‘s where we are
right now and that‘s what
we‘re going to do.

“I know we're going to
probably have a lot of people
that want to help us make this
decision. but we‘re going to
do what‘s best for the young
men we're working with.“

Those people might not
be able to help make Brooks‘
decision. but there‘s certainly
nothing stopping them from
voicing their opinions.

UK never looked back in a 38—3
victory over Norfolk State. Eight min-
utes later. Cobb again put UK on the
board with a quarterback sneak on the 1-
yard line. The change was official.

But it wasn‘t. nor isn‘t. pemtanent.

Hartline re-entered the game at quar-
terback to start the third quarter. The rest
of the second half. the two quarterbacks
played to a virtual tie. After the game.
Brooks said the position was completely
split.

“We will not decide who starts until
late in the week.“ Brooks said. "Maybe
at game time. Both will play. Rather
than say l have a designed plan. if we
aren‘t moving the ball we‘ll shake it Lip.
I would rather not do that. but that‘s
where we are.

Even with (‘obb‘s first half spark.
the two quarterbacks finished with simi—
lar stats. Hartline was 9—of—15 for oi)
yards. while Cobb completed o—of— l l for
87 yards and one touchdown. (‘ohb also

ran eight times for 49 yards and two
touchdowns.

With both quarterbacks looking to
split snaps. Hartline believes detenses
will have trouble game planning against
the Cats. a problem that was evident
with the Spartans.

“Definitely we give different types
of looks to keep defenses guessing.“
Hartline said. “Randall can throw and
run. We‘re both young to the game. so
we try and help each other as much as
we cart.“

While the quarterback competition
stole the show. Brooks said he did see
another improvement for the offense W
the rttnning game. Sophomore Derrick
Locke led all backs with 06 yards on
five camcs and one touchdown Sopho—
more Moncell Allen ran for 71 yards on
seven can‘ies ~ all iii the fourth quarter
,7 and one touchdown. Not what
Brooks called a great running attack. but
better.

“We're a little happier." junior Al-
fonso Smith said. “Felt we could have
done more. But c\ eryone got otit there
and we were pounding them.“

The defense also continued its domi~
nancc on the field. Despite a few drives

deep into l'K territory. Norfolk State
came away with only one field goal. It‘s
the first time [K has opcncd the season
without allowing a touchdown since
1958. It‘s also the first time the (‘ats
havcn‘t allowed their opponent to score
a touchdown in consecutnc games since
I978. when UK hcld both Virginia Tech
and Vanderbilt scoreless. That type of
defensive performance wasn‘t exactly
what Brooks had in mind when the sca~
son started.

"Did I expect us to only gixc up
three points.“ Brooks said. "Probably
not. But now I think we can do better.“

So does junior linebacker Micah
Johnson.

"There‘s still a lot ot room tor im-
provcmcnt." Johnson said "Little
things. a lot of things to continue to
work on."

While the running game is still pro-
gressing. the defense is still dominating.
and the quarterbacks .irc dueling. it
seems nothing can knock L‘K off its
perch. Not even a competition.

“1 don‘t consider it a battle." Hartv
line said. “Randall‘s a tcamtitatc to me.
Seeing Randall‘s success is great. We‘re
wmning games. That‘s what matters.“
