Second race suit tiled against UK in a month

By Jenniter Smith
.‘l lounging Editor

A second racial discrimination suit has been ﬁled
against UK in less than a month.

This suit alleges that Eunice Beatty, who has been
with the University system for more than 16 years,
was discriminated against because she is black.

Most of the actions cited within the suit discuss
repeated alienation and discrimination by adminis-
trators at Lexington Community College. The suit
specifically alleges that Janice Friedel, president of
LCC, repeatedly subjected Beatty “to unequal terms,
conditions and privileges because of her race.”

Beatty is asking for an injunction prohibiting the
defendant from any further retaliation and race dis-
crimination, and for compensatory and punitive
damages and attorney and court costs.

The suit, which was filed in Fayette Circuit Court
on \Vednesday, says that while Beatty was taking a
sabbatical, Friedel began her tenure, and that is when
the problems began.

A week after Beatty returned as acting dean of aca-
demic affairs at LCC, Friedel told Beatty she was
going to reopen the search for Beatty‘s position.

Beatty called Ben Carr, the chancellor for the
Community College System, to express her con-
cerns. Carr met with Friedel and ave her three
options. She could either recommend: Beatty for the
dean ofAcademic Affairs, appoint Beatty for another
year as acting dean or reopen the search. Friedel
opted for the second choice.

Beatty’s suit says after that, the situation got
worse.

In July 1994, the suit says Friedel changed the
locks in the suite where Beatty’s and her ofﬁces were

and did not give Beatty a key. As well as changing the
locks, the suit says Friedel also started changing the
role of the academic dean.

Friedel then began sending her assistant, Anne
Noffsinger, to all of Beatty’s meetings. The suit says
Noffsinger was never sent to sit in on any other
dean’s or administrator's meetings. .

The suit alleges this is because Friedel “stated to
other LCC employees that Dr. Beatty could not be
trusted.”

In the middle of Beatty's tenure as acting dean,
she received her performance review evaluation and
ratin . According to the suit, she received an excep—
tionafperformance rating.

Then, the suit says, Friedel told Beatty the evalua—
tion tool was inadequate and that it merely reflected
a faculty po ularity contest. Friedel indicated that
Beatty woul be evaluated differently in the future.

“No other employee that has been evaluated by
the President has been downgraded in such a man‘
ner," the suit continues.

After Beatty’s year—long tenure as acting dean was
up, the suit says Friedel announced in a faculty meet-
ing that Beatty’s position would be re—opened for a
national search. Beatty was informed of this decision
two hours before it was announced, the suit says.

Following this, Beatty tiled complaints with Carr,
the Office of Affirmative Action and UK President
Charles \Vethington.

Less than a month later, “'ethington wrote Beat—
tv and told her the problem had been resolved and
that she would be appointed to the position.

The complaint also says that Beatty is not the only
one who reco izes racial problems at the upper lev—
els of the LC I administration.

Time is essence 0

It is art. The two stainless steel cones face each
other in an hourglass shape. As the new monument
shines in the sun, casting a shadow on the amphithe-
ater, about 30 people gather for its ofﬁcial unveiling.

If you catch it at the right time during the day, you
can see the water dripping as the sands of time drip
like a watch counting seconds.

It is a sculpture. It is a sundial.

“(It) adds a little style to campus,” said Wayne
Place, an engineering senior.

The bronze and stainless steel sundial was made
by Jack Gron, chairman of the art department at the
UK College of Fine Arts, and his students.

It was dedicated yesterday at the back of the
amphitheater behind NIemorial Hall. It has been
standing at that location since August.

The sculpture was funded by an anonymous gift to
the University’s beautification endowment.

It will “celebrate UK as a place of character,“ said
Elisabeth Zinser, chancellor for the Lexington Cam-
pus, who presided over the dedication ceremony.

The dial and face of the sundial are bronze, cast in
UK’s metal arts building.

It bears a design to “represent the sun,” according
to Gron. The numbers run from six to six across the
round face.

The gnomon (pointer) is along the 1 pm. line.
The stand is stainless steel, with three bent legs sup-
porting the face. The entire sundial is in a rock-laden
peninsula surrounded by bushes.

The sundial runs on Eastern Standard TIme,
which starts in October. The light-driven clock
began the unveiling ceremony in style, with the long
shadow of the gnomon (the thing that catches the
light) stretching to 1 l a.m., the correct time.

Keeping the time was a concern to the beautifica-
tion committee. They said that not only should it be
attractive, it must also work. That was done with the
enlistment of civil engineering student Pete Zak to
plot the coordinates for the sundial.

BITCH.“ 80Mf ““8 jack Grim, of the College of Fine Arts, stands near the sundial he treated for the rumpus.

“Creating the sundial was actually less work than
the research which went into the project to make
sure it shows the correct time,” Gron says. But, “the
most accurate sundial is only right three or four
times a year,” he said.

Gron says the hourglass design of the sundial was
inspired by the antiquity it represents.

Assisting on the project was Bill Raney, a sculp-
ture junior. He said the project took about a month
to complete.

The professional experience of “working on some-
thing big that works,” is invaluable to his aspiring
sculpture career.

“It’ll last forever," Raney said of the project.

Simpson trial
linally nearing the end

LOS ANGELES —~ The trial that some
thought might never end is at last bumbling to a
bitter close.

().J. Simpson’s judge set today aside to wrap up
legal loose ends and hammer out jury instruc—
tions, which he hopes to deliver today.

After a three-day weekend for Monday‘sJew~
ish holiday, the jury could hear closing arguments
beginning Tuesday — the first anniversary of the
trial, which began Sept. 26, 1994, with jury selec-
tion.

If the judge's timetable holds, jurors could be
deliberating Simpson’s fate late next week.

"33“": Jeltl “ll“ "9'" ill set-aside case

WASHINGTON -— A Hasidic Jew has won a
four-year fight to be accepted in a federal set-
aside pro yram for small businesses that is usually
reserved or blacks, Hispanics and other “socially
disadvantaged” minorities.

The case could open the program's door wider
to other whites ifthey can prove that their beliefs,
appearance or social standing produce a disadvan-
taged status, according to some legal observers.

These experts say the out—of—court settlement
is an apparent Clinton administration reaction to
a Supreme Court ruling that severely limited
affirmative action programs that appear to be
based solely on race.

Clinton reveals national Internet plan

SAN FRANCISCO -— President Clinton pro—
osed yesterday that every school in the nation be
linked to the computer Internet by 2000, a gov-
ernment-industry venture be likened to “a high—
tech barnraisin .”

Clinton cal ed the initiative “an enormous
effort” com arable to building the nation's net—
works of rai roads and highways. He said that for
schoolchildren it was “just as essential as teaching
them to read and write and the new math.”

Administration ofﬁcials said 5 eciﬁcs of the
plan would be announced later in t e fall.
