ESTABLISHED 1894

The controversial two-year-long tenure review
case of Mark Clary, a former associate professor of
architecture, ended with a denial letter from Chan-
cellor for the Lexington Campus Robert Hemenway.

“I do not make this decision lightly or without
extensive consideration,” Hemenway said in a letter
to Clary, dated Tuesday.

The chancellor, who left town yesterday and
could not be reached for comment, wrote that he
would stand behind his “two previous negative deci—
sions” on Clary’s tenure because he could find no
“basis for sustaining (Clary’s) appeal” and granting
tenure.

This decision finalized Clary’s second appeal for
tenure.

Clary’s first bid for tenure was denied in 1993. He
appealed the denial, but that appeal resulted in a sec—
ond denial in April 1994.

Students in the College of Architecture began
their campaign of support for the former professor in
April of this year, after the second denial.

They compiled more than 190 signatures on a
petition and 87 individual student letters of support

I Senate PBIBBTS
spending limits

By Jennifer Smith
Staff Writer

The Student Government Association Senate voted
by a narrow three-vote margin last night not to place
restrictions on its spending.

Senator at Large Adam Edelen and Executive
Director of Academic Affairs Avi Weitzman’s propos-
al said a minimum of 50 percent of the Senate’s total
budget should be reserved for SGA-initiated pro—
grams, services and activities. The other 50 percent

 

would be allocated as usual to student groups request-
ing funding.

“We knew we were not going to get this win,” Ede-
len said.

“Any time you try to reform an institution which
spends money this willingly and recklessly, reform is
always an uphill battle.”

VVeitzman gave a presentation to the Senate
explaining that only 12.4 percent of the Senate’s bud-
get in 1992—93 went toward Senate-initiated propos—
als. In 1993—94, 47.5 percent of the allocated funding
was not created by SGA.

Senators had many problems with this proposal.

“We have to get our butts off of our seats and
implement programs,” Senator at Large Beverly Cole—
man said. “We do not need a piece of paper to tell us
to do programs.”

Senator at Large Julie Wright said she thought the
bill was too broad.

“I personally felt that the criteria was too eneral,”
she said. “It left room for bad programs to Be intro—
duced to the Senate. We, as a Senate, do not need this
criteria to create new programs.”

Jana Bowling, College of Social Work senator, said

Gates to discuss
black renaissance
at speech tonight

By Nicole Heumphreus
Senior Staff Writer

Author, poet and scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr.
will discuss the Harlem Renaissance of the 19205 at

 

Memorial Hall tonight at 7:30.

Gates’ speech at UK coincides with the current
Time cover story titled “Black Renaissance —
African-American artists are truly free
at last,” which includes a story by
Gates.

Gates said in the article, “the idea
of a black American renaissance” has
been declared three times during the
20th century.

In 1904, the “New Negro Literary
Movement” was declared when writ-
er’s like W.E.B. DuBois and Paulina Gal“

Ho kins were at the height of their creative energy.

hen in the 19205, another renaissance was
declared when Alain Locke became the first black
Rhodes scholar.

“The point of a cultural renaissance was inherently
political; it was thought that the production of great
art by sufficient numbers of blacks would facilitate the
Negro's demand for civil rights and for social and eco-
nomic equality,” Gates writes in Time.

Gates said the Harlem Renaissance was when writ—
ings of Langston Hughes, Jean Toomer and Zora
Neale Hurston developed the foundation for the black
literary canon of today.

Since many of the black writers and artists of that
time were sponsored by white patronage, the crash of

in a period of three days.

Since the beginning of the fall semester, the stu-
dents organized a coalition supporting Clary again.

Last Wednesday, nearly 300 students marched to
Hemenway’s office to voice their support.

As a result of the march, Hemenway agreed to
meet with the students later that same
day.

The students requested, and were
subsequently denied, specific infor—
mation as to why Clary was denied
tenure.

“I am not here to discuss Mark
Clary's tenure," Hemenway told the
students. “University policy states
that we do not discuss individual
cases. I’m here to talk about the pro-
cess of tenure review.”

But the students persisted.

“I chose to come to the University of Kentucky. I
chose to be in the school of architecture — I made all
of these choices and now I see my education crum—
bling before me. I’m scared. I’m reaching out to
learn why, but you won’t tell us,” said Tara Kelley, a
second-year architecture student, during the
impromptu meetlng.

Yesterday, the students lamented the decision.

“It was a devastating thing to hear. I lost a lot of
faith in the University and in the administration,"
said second-year student architecture student Jeff
Phelps, who, along with Architecture Student Coun-
cil President Walter Zausch, headed up the student
sup ort campaign.

Clary, who currently is unemployed, said Hemen—
way‘s negative decision does not mean the end of his
struggle for tenure.

“At the present, this is not over,” he said during a
telephone interview yesterday.

He added that he plans to discuss his next step
with his lawyer.

“My only reservation is that I can’t put a burden
on my family,” he said, referring to potential litiga—
tion.

“So I’ll have to check out my options and go from
there.”

He said the student support has sustained him in
times when he wanted to give up, and he added that
he hoped that Hemenway’s ruling did not discourage
the students.

“I hope this decision doesn’t sway the students
from continuing to secure their own voice on cam—
pus.”

III [1088MB mass suicide

CHEIRY, Switzerland — Twenty—one bodies
made a neat circle on the floor of a red, mirror—
lined chapel hidden beneath the burning farm-
house. Ten had plastic garbage bags tied around
their necks with cords, and some had their hands
bound. Twenty had bullets in their heads.

~In three ski chalets'90 miles away, police discov-
ered more bodies, badly burned by fires apparently
set by remote control.

In all, authorities found 48 bodies yesterday, and
indications ofa mass murder—suicide by a cult they
hadn’t known existed.

Two bodies were found a day earlier in Canada
in the charred wreckage of an unexplained arson
fire. Police said the owner of the burned duplex,
Luc Jouret, led apocalyptic cults in both Canada
and Switzerland. Investigators said the fires in both
countries were set off by remote-controlled electri—
cal devices.

Curry's wile
receives threat

By Bobby Lacer Jr.

Contributing Writer

Carolyn Curry, the wife of UK football coach
Bill Curry has received a death threat over the
phone which has prompted an FBI investigation,
the athletics office said in a release yesterday.

Shortly after yesterday’s football
Eractice, Currv gave a short media

riefing regarding the incident.

“I'm very angry, and I’m very
frustrated,” Curry said. “But most
of all, I‘m very concerned. When
you are a head coach, you expect to
M catch a lot of guff, but not toward
your wife.”

Curry Curry was reluctant to discuss
the investi ation of the incident, which is being
conducted y the UK police and the FBI.

“I really can’t get into all that right now," Curry
said. “But I will say I feel strongly that the police
and the FBI are doing the best they can and they
will get this situation taken care of.”

Curry received threats and harassment while he
was coach at Alabama from 1987-89. At one oint
during Curry’s tenure, someone throu h a rick
through his house window. Angry Alabama fans
also once backed up a moving van to Curry’s house.
Curry eventually resigned despite winning the
Sugar Bowl.

“This kind of thing has been serious before, but
its always been focused towards me,” Curry said..
It’s never been my wife.”

Curry said all necessary precautions have been
taken care of to ensure that both his wife and his
players do not think they are in any danger.

“Carolyn is awa from here, and that is where
she will remain,” .urry said. “She’s fine, and I'm
fine. I just assured the team of that.”

It's been a frustratin year for the football Cats
(1-4) who have suffereg four straight defeats and
three blowouts.

But no mater how bad the team ma be per-
forming, the threats are way out of line, urry said.

“Like I said before, football is nothing more
than a game.” Cu said.

“This type of stuff is ridiculous. When peo le
start getting players, coaches and their fami ies
involved, they ve gone too far.”
