eliminates
more jobs

By Dale Greer
News Editor

The UK Board of Trustees approved Tues-
day a 1992-93 operating budget that calls for
no pay raises and the elimination of 255 facul-
ty and staff positions.

UK President Charles Wethington described
the $839 million budget as “a very lean plan
that reflects some drastic cuts" in state appro-
priations.

“This budget has been a tough one to put to-
gether —- the toughest one I‘ve been associat-
ed with,“ Wethington said. “It reflects a lot of
hard decisions.“

One of those decisions was to cut jobs
through attrition and a hiring freeze — a move
that will effect every sector of the University.

Wethington said students will find fewer
staff in campus offices and fewer course offer-
ings in schedule books.

“We are going to have to ask students to be
more patient and understand that we can
not provide the same level of service in every
way that we have done in the past.

“We believe that we will be able to continue
the course offerings that students have to have
— must have -— to get on to graduation. But,
undoubtedly. as faculty leave and they are not
replaced in some instances. then the choices
that students have will be limited.

“We've also got to ask faculty and staff to
carry at least an 8 to 10 percent heavier load
than they had a year ago."

The austere budget is the result of an SI LS
million reduction in state appropriations for
l992-93. During this fiscal year. the state‘s
share of UK’s budget will hit an all-time low
of 36.9 percent.

The cutback comes just six months after UK
slashed $15.2 million from its 1991-92 pro-
gram expenses bemuse of an earlier state re-
duction. Under the first wave of cuts. the Uni-
versity eliminated 220 faculty and staff jobs.

Faculty trustee Raymond Betts. director of
the Gaines Center for the Humanities. de-
scribed the combination of cuts as “drastic‘

"Die budget cuts last year were threaten-
ing.” Betts said. “The cuts this year are im-
pairing, and it may mean that if nothing is
n'ghted financially next year we‘re going to
find that the University is going to be crippled
— it will not be able to carry on it’s mission."

Former UK student Thomas Robinson gazes into his reflection in a pond in the Lex-

ington Cemetary.

In addition to the elimination of jobs. the
1992-93 budget provides for no increase in
general operating expenses and no new capital
expenditures. except for $4 million in private
money to begin the design phase of a new cen-
tral library.

One of UK's objectives in preparing the
budget was to protect employees from layoffs
— a goal it so far has achieved —- and to
maintain the cun'ent level of faculty and staff
salaries.

During the last four years. UK closed the
wide gap that separated its faculty salaries

from those at benchmark schools. For the Uni-
versity System. the I99l median salary of
$50.4l t is 98.7 percent of the benchmark sala-
ry.
In the Community College System. the I‘Nl
median salary of 530.434 is 99.8 percent of
the benchmark figure.

The new budget also will maintain Universi-
ty priorities established during the last two
years. Wethington said. These include pay eq-
uity adjustments for minorities and women. a

allows student accounts

 

By Kyle Foster
Editor in Chief

 

After two years of, persistence
by the Student Govemment Asso-
ciation. the UK Credit Union
opened its doors to students in
April.

Since its inception in 1937, the
credit union s services have been
offered only to UK faculty and
staff

“As far as i know there was not
a fonnal request until recently."
said Kathy Clark. vice president
of marketing administration for
the credit union.

Former SGA President Sean
Lohman made the request for stu-
dents in 1990 and the 1991-92
president Scott Crosbie continued
the process.

“Scott really carried it through.
working with us and SGA," said
Alla Holland, vice president of

member services.

Past infonnal requests met dis-
approval in the last ten years, said
president Harold N. Downing,
who has been with the UK Credit
Union for it years.

“in past years, there have been
a couple of times that students re-
quested. but during those times.
the board did not approve addi-
tional membership." he said.

Students to pay more for college educations

 

By Kyle Foster
Editor in Chief

This fall. full-time UK students
once again will 'find themselves
paying more for their educations
and living accommodations.

A $77 per semester increase in
tuition and the mandatory registra-
tion fee was confirmed by the UK
Board of Trustees last month. An
$18 per year increase in room and
board fees also will be implement-
ed.

The new rates include

'A $47 raise in student fees ——
from $112 to $159 per semester.

Of that money. a $40 technolo-
gy fee will go toward expanded
computer services.

During the next two years. UK
plans to double the number of per-
sonal computers on campus and
put computer labs in residence
halls. said Gene Williams, UK
vice president for infomiation sys-
tems.

’lhe rest of the increase will go
toward Student Health Service.
Student Government Association.
Student Activities Board. athletics
programs and WRFL-FM, UK‘s
student radio station.

-A $30 increase in tuition or-
dered by the state Council on
Higher Education, which sets tui-
tion at all eight state universities
in Kentucky.

ln-state tuition and fees for full-

 

time students will be 899‘) per se-
mester. Tuition for graduate stu-
dents will be $920.

Undergraduates who take at
least 12 hours are considered full-
tirne students. Graduates who
take nine hours are full-time stu-
dents.

Out-of-state students will to
pay $2,520. an increase of 500.
Graduate students who are not
Kentucky residents will pay
$2,760, also up $90.

Since the 1982-83 school year.
tuition has more than doubled at
UK. according to the (‘ouncil on
Higher Education lnfonnation l)i-
gest.

The cost of a college education
in Kentucky has increased by at
least $10 every year since 1982-
83, when full-time undergradu-
ates paid 3406 in tuition.

Tuition in the UK (‘ommunity
College System also has steadily
increased in the last 10 years. In
1982-83. full-time community
college students paid $195 a se-
mester. This fall. except for stu—
dents on the Lexington Commu-
nity College Campus. Kentucky
community college students will
pay $350 a semester — an in-
crease ot‘ $10 over the 1901-02
year.

LCC students will not face an
increase in tuition this fall. This is
the first year of a six-year gradual
reduction of LCC tuition rates.
The reduction program will bring

the rates, which were equal to
those ol‘ UK Lexington campus
rates. in line with the rates at the
other community colleges.

LCC students pay $810 a se-
mester, which is more than twice
what is charged by the ouier 13
Kentucky community colleges,
LCC students also pay the 815‘)
student activities fee that UK
Lexington campus student pay.

rAn Sl8-per—year increase in
room and board fees. from
$2.734 per year to $2752,

Allen Rieman. director ol' aux-
iliary services. said the higher
room and board rate is a direct
service fee. He said the increase
does not raise the amount of op‘
eration money auxiliary services
has.

"Four dollars of the $18 is a $2

-a-semester recycling fee that
goes to (the Office of) Residence
Life for a recycling progrzun in
the residence halls." he said.
' Riemzut said the remaining 514
will cover the 48 percent increase
in sewer charges by the Lexing-
ton-Fayette Urban (‘ounty Gov-
ernment.

Although he said UK does not
make a profit on its housing lees.
Rieman said that sometimes there
is money left over.

“We have to operate in the
black. We czut‘t operate in the
red. so it may be $1 or it may be
$1,000 over. It's difficult to plan
to break even when you‘re work-

ittg with a $24 million-a-year or to keep costs down the next
year, Rieman said.

“No one ggts tlmtlends or a ho-
nus or anything like that."

Any extra money remains in
the system to upgrade facilities

Credit

Continued from Page 2

Currently. there are about 20
student accounts at the credit un-
ion.

Students receive the same hen.
efits and services as the other
15.000 credit union members. in-
cluding checking accounts. loans
and credit cards.

“We don't treat them any dif-
ferent or any better or any worse.
so that should eliminate any
problems." Downing said.

One drawback to the credit un-
ion is that it is located off cam-
pus on South Broadway.

Holland said the credit union
has extended its hours and pro-
vided an ATM machine in Patter-
son ()ffice tower to accommo-
date more people.

She said there are no plans
right now to open a branch on
campus.

"That‘s not in our immediate
plans. It‘s not practical for us of
the University."

"4 — Summer Kentucky Kerrie!

 

By Brant Welch
Staff Writer

 

A new $14 million facility will
give UK one of the most modem

M medical clinics in the country,
gfl said Dr. Emery Wilson, dean of
mm” the UK College of Medicine.

{II-.igigifg', The Kentucky Clinic, which

was built by the Kentucky Medi-
cal Services Foundation and giv-
en to the University. will allow
UK to expand its clinic space and
house several related specialties
in one building.

“Getting this type of gift really
answers several needs that we
have," Wilson said Tuesday. “We
just received a grant for educa-
tion reform so it provides some
space for educational purposes,
clinic space. computer laboratory
space, and it also allows us to put

primary care specialities together,
such as pediatrics, family practice
and medicine."

He also said one area of the
new 140,000 square foot facility,
which is located at 740 8. Lime-
stone St., will be dedicated to the
neurosciences.

“It is very similar to the Mayo
Clinic or the Cleveland Clinic, in
that we have all of the services
and technologies they have. We
want to be recognized as a major
national clinic as far as health
care is concenred," Wilson said.

No state funding was used for
the construction of the Kentucky
Clinic. All money for the building
was contributed by UK physi-
cians through the medical founda-
tion, the independent billing and
accounting arm of the physicians'
private clinical practice plan.

The medical foundation also

N

‘Th'urSday. June‘18.'1‘992

gave UK $l million to renovate
several clinics and clinic support
areas in the Warren Wright Medi-
cal Plaza. About 20,000 square
feet are being renovated and en-
larged for programs, including the
general surgery, medicine and ob—
stetrics and gynecology clinics;
central supply: health program of-
fices; and central information
desk.

Renovations are to begin in the
next couple of weeks, Wilson
said. and are to be complete by
early 1993.

Wilson said he does not foresee
many new staff positions as a re-
sult of the opening of the Ken-
tucky Clinic, which was accepted
by the UK Board of Trustees
Tuesday.

“For the most part we will be
moving people from one building
to the other," he said.

 

Marasco
Continued from Page 1

Marasco died about l6 hours lat-
er.

“It was pretty well known that
he was thought to be HIV-
positive, so it was assumed he
died of HIV-related symptoms,"
Metts said.

Marasco was the focus of na-
tional attention last summer after
the Georgia Board of Dentistry
suspended his license because of
evidence that he had tested posi-
tive about two years ago for the
AIDS-causing virus, HIV.

At that time, Marasco. who
graduated with honors from UK,
neither confirmed nor denied his
condition.

Following the announcement
of Marasco’s suspension luly ll.
College of Dentistry officials
contacted the patients who were
treated by Marasco between l985
and 1989, when he was at the
University.

All but three former patients
chose to be tested for the virus,

Asked if any of the patients
tested positive for the virus, Nash
responded: “Of course not. Peo-
ple don‘t get HIV from dentists
and not from health care workers.
They get it from inappropriate
sexual behavior and from drug
use and the like.“

As of March l‘)‘)2 — the most
recent figures available — the
Centers for Disease Control in At-
lanta reported that l0 percent of
people reportedly exposed to the
virus contracted HIV either

blood components or tissue.

Another 6 percent contracted
the disease in an “other/
undetermined“ manner.

The “other" refers to three
health-care workers who devel-
oped acquired immune deficiency
syndrome after occupational ex-
posure to H IV-infected blood and
to two patients who developed
AIDS after exposure to HIV with-
in the health—care setting.

Nash, who said Marasco‘s
death will not have an impact on
the College of Dentistry, refuted
the claims of a Florida woman.

 

 

 

Kimberly Bergalis, who said she
was infected with the AIDS virus
by her dentist. David Acer,

Four of Acer's other patients
also tested HIV-positive.

Bergalis. 23. defied all the clas-
sic risk factors for AIDS expo-
sure. “I never used lV drugs. nev-
er slept with anyone and never
had a blood transfusion,“ she
wrote to Florida health officials
itr l‘)9l.

Both Accr and Bergalis died
from complications of AIDS.

Nash said the Bergalis case is
suspicious. The case still is under
investigation in Florida.

“HIV is just not an issue in
dentistry any more.

Nash said Universal Precau-
tions make the risk of transmis-
sion from a health care worker al-
most non-existent.

Universal precautions, dcvel~
oped by the CDC, require the use
of sterile gloves. protective bar-
riers and care in the use and dis-
posal of needles and other sharp
instruments.

According to the CDC. the
odds of contacting HIV from an
HIV-positive dentist are between
1 in 263,000 and l in 2.6 million.
The risk analysis range is so
broad because a patient's chances
of contracting the virus vary ac-
cording to several factors. includ-
ing the kind of health care re-
ceived and whether or not it
involves exposure-prone proce-
dures.

Transmissions are more likely
during exposure-prone proce-
dures. which include gynecolog-
ical exams, heart surgery. root ca-
nals and tooth extractions.

’Hey, paleface! Get the name right, OK?’

by John Dyer Fort

The other day, l was told I
could not use the term “Native
American" in a story I had writ-
ten for the Summer Kentucky
Kernel. I was. of course, referring
to the indigenous inhabitants of

this continent who came here
more than 10,000 years ago.

The Associated Press Stylebook
—- the joumalism bible and voice
of authority here at the Kemel —
said the appropriate term was
“American Indian."

The stylebook states that
“American Indians migrated to
the continent over a land bridge
from Asia." The line of thought
here is that they are no more na-
tive to America then anyone else.

In that case, everybody is wart-
den‘ng around in foreign lands

zutd has been since Adam and
live left the Garden of Eden ~
or from wherever the first Homo
sapiens came.

I called the AP head offices in
New York and asked the gentle-
man who answered if he was
aware that the word “Indian" w2Ls
made up by white men.

He said he was not aware of
that.

I also told him that the term
“Indian“ has a derogatory history
going back to pilgrim days and
the Puritans’ fear of arty culture

In American history. the word
“Indian“ is synonymous with
“red devil." “Dirty. untrustwor-
thy. heathen. bloodthirsty. lazy
and irredeetnable savages" was
what the federal goventmcnt
called Native Americans itt its
19th century campaign of annihi-
lation and resettlement 'l‘hat‘s
right: Make America safe for
white folk.

While progress has been made
in restoring dignity to Native
Americans, we should remember
that they do not wish to he called
something they never called
themselves. Social progress does
not dignify the word “Indian."
We are still calling them the "oth-
er" — as apart from ourselves.

The AP has managed to ignore
these distinctions and mislal‘el a
wltole people — and a part of
American history in the process.

Similarly. Brown vs. the Board
of Education. civil rights. affir-
mative action. the 13th Amend-
ment and multiculturalism do not
suddenly make the word “nigger"
appropriate.

Students, faculty face hard times with cut

 

By Dale Greer
News Editor

 

For the second time in six
months, budget cuts will elimi-
nate hundreds of jobs and reduce
course offerings at UK.

No one will be laid off because
of the cuts, but very few faculty
and staff will be hired to fill va-
cancies as they occur. That
means remaining employees will
have to work harder than ever to
fill gaps. And students can expect
longer lines in campus offices.

Almost no department or ser-
vice has been spared by the cuts,
which amount to 255 faculty and
staff positions in the 1992-93 fis-
cal year. An additional 220 jobs
were eliminated during 1991-92.

James Wells, chairman of the
math department, said the effect
of the cuts has been “dramatic."

“This year, we’ve already lost
five or six positions to the budget
cuts. It's going to have an impact

on our program. It's going to im-
pact our research effon. It’s going
to have an impact on departmen-
tal morale.

“That doesn’t make us any dif~
ferent form lots of other depart-
ments — we‘re all losing people,
and we know that we’re likely to
lose more.”

The history department has
been unable to fill about five fa-
culty vacancies in areas like
Asian, Russian and modern Euro-
pean history, said Robert Ireland,
acting department chairman.

“We‘re especially short-handed
in the third world. We only have
two third-world historians, and
we can't really offer a complete
historical survey of the third
world with only two people.”

lreland said the department's
limited course offerings cheat stu-
dents because the students don’t
get “the full historical picture.

“Instead of having a chance to
take Asian history, our majors
won’t have that chance — nor

will anybody else in the Universi-
ty — because we can't teach
Asian history. We don’t have
anybody to teach it.

“That's a tremendous gap
when you think that arguably the
number one economic power in
the world today is Japan."

Ireland, who teaches American
history, said the shortage of in-
structors has led to crowded
classes, which strain professors.

“It just puts pressure on every-
body,” he said.

The cutbacks also are putting
pressure on staff who provide stu-
dent services. There currently are
11 staff vacancies in student af-
fairs programs like the Career
Center and the Office of Resi-
dence Life, said Jim Ingle, assist-
ant to the vice chancellor for stu-
dent affairs.

In sorne instances. campus ad-
ministrators are pulling double
duty: Fraternity adviser Ron Lee
is splitting his time with the cam-

At the Counseling and Testing
Center, which already is woefully
understaffed, the budget crunch
has led to a reduction in services.
Nikki Fulks, director of the cen-
ter, said students now are limited
to 15 visits per year. The center
also had to curtail programs like
alcohol abuse prevention.

“If we could do a little more
preventative work, maybe people
wouldn‘t need to seek our servic-
es,” Fulks said.

While the budget cuts have hit
the University hard, Dean of Stu-
dents David Stockham said cam-
pus morale is reasonably high.

“T'he commitment of the people
across the University is that we
hope this is interim,” Stockham
said. “Most of the people who
work at the University we about
it. You don't come here because
you’re making megabucks.

“There are limits to what peo-
ple can do, but I think the effort
in the short run will be to say, ‘By

er, I will. Or I may become mac
efficient in how I do my work.’

“How long can people actually
keep tightening their belts? Some-
where out there, there is a limit.
All 1 can say is the quality of the
response of people so far has
been excellent.”

Wells. however, sees rough
times ahead.

“There‘s a bunch of serious, se-
rious decisions that have to be
made in this University, and, right
now, I see not a lot of evidence
that the administration is getting
ready to make those decisions —
elimination of programs, elimina-
tion of colleges, trimming down a
fat administration that is in des-
perate need of being trimmed
down.

“We're in for a number of
years of difficult decision-
making. It's going to take some
really outstanding leadership to
pull the University through the
next five to 10 years and still
