UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY. LEXINGTON. KENTUCKY

86A looks at tuition option

By Mat Horton
Campus Editor

lfyou don't like what you see, cotne
up with an alternative.

Hence, the Student Government
Association has formed a grottp that
will work on drafting its own
tuition—setting policy in light of the
rancor over the Council on Postsec-
ondary Education's approval of a 23
percent increase for the next two
years.

SGA lobbied the council earlier last
month to review the tuition policy,
which has stayed the satne since 1982
but underwent two reviews in the early
‘905.

“VVe‘re trying to get something

cared to help students that would
Tie most affected by the tuition
increase," said joe Schuler, executive
director of Academic Affairs for
SGA.

The group, headed up by student
Jean May, SGA academic affairs
chairwoman Lindsay McNeal and
other officers, is still in the research
stage and will look at benchmarks
and other universities to see what
their tuitions and )olicies for setting
them are. It will also examine trends
in inflation and the governing bod-
ies that decide tuition in other
states, said SGA President Melanie
Cruz.

“\Ve‘re not real worried about the
regional universities because their
mission is different," Cruz said.
“\Ve're trying to figure ottt who we
have to lobby for the student finan—
cial aid and advancement trust
fund."

“It’s just one big pot of money, no
criteria has been set," she said. “\Ve
want to tnake sure UK and U of L are
hit hardest, and we should get prefer—
ential treatment."

“No one‘s said here what they're
plans are or where that extra reventte is
going," Schiller said.

The council will begin reviewing
the state‘s policy when it mee's in
Frankfort injanuary. It plans to pro—
pose the forming of another task force
consisting ofcotmcil members. univer—
sity administrators and students, said
Ken “'alker. acting chief operating
officer for the council.

The group would be the firstslevel
of review of the current policy and
make its l‘CCUlITIlICTHlLTTIt)ll to the
council's Investment and Incentives
Committee. which would in turn
make its recommendation to the fttll
council.

“Iirom the staff‘s“ perspective, it‘s
appropriate to review all policies on a
periodic basis, so we intend to pro-
pose a review of man} of the (llll’.
policies so the old (council) policies
are revised for this new board."

\\'alker said.

“Many of the policies all need to
be reviewed and considered in the
context of not only what exists now.
but what is likely to exist in the
future."

The review is also needed because
ofthe likelihood of a \irtual universi—
ty in Kentucky. L'nder this systeln,
proposed in the state legislature as
House Bill I. a student at one univer—
sity could enroll in a class at another
university via the Internet and inter—
active television, which \Valker said a
number of universities are already
doing.

Tuition comes into play in terms of
how universities will share the revenue
for courses offered over the Net.
\\'alker said.

“If they take action, it will be to
establish the work plan for policy
review. \Vhat's the review structure.
w hat‘s the time frame?" he said.

Tim \Vatts balanced in the
center of the teeter-totter at
\Voodland Park moving
Dacoby Burnett, 8, and
Devaun Robinson, 5, up and
down.

“Kee doing it,” Robinson
said as lie braced the teeter-
totter.

But Burnett disagreed, say-
ing he was getting dizzy. Ile
could barely hold on.

Watts is one of about 40

UK students who volunteer
for Big Brothers/Big Sisters
of Lexington, an organiza—
tion that matches volunteers
to children with single par—
ents.

His little brother is 9-
year-old l)equan Prewitt,
older brother of Robinson
and Burnett.

“Big Brothers and Big Sis—
ters try to make a positive
influence on the kids,"
Tiffany Yerian, president of
LTK‘s chapter, said as the
screatning continued at the

volunteering, but Yerian said
about 200 boys are on the
waiting list for the Lexington
chapter.

\Vatts often takes I’rewitt
to Entertainment lixpress in
Nicholasville or to Laser
Quest at South Ilill Station.
Last week, after visiting
\Voodland Park to play on the
large swing sets and jungle

'ms, \Vatts took the three
Eliothers to see the movie
Gcor e ofthrflmg/c.

“ he kids are just victims
of the circumstances that
they’re in," \Vatts said that
as Prewitt started singing
the rap song “I Really Miss
My Home,” as loud as he
could with Robinson and

 

 

 

 

Burnett.
“They are just kids that
don't have an influence,"

“'atts said. “These kids just
want someone to be a
friend."

\K'atts said a recent occur-

rence at the Kroger where he
works inspired him in the
work he does for Big Broth-
ers/Big Sisters.

Orange cones are everywhere.

But many are wondering ifanything
is getting accomplished.

“We‘ve got about a hundred pro-
jects that are currently being worked
on," said Ken Clevidence, senior
director of Procurement and Con-
stmction at UK.

“The construction seems pointless,”

‘I- I

said Kristy Carrico, animal science
freshman. "No project ever gets com-
pleted.“

When projects are large and com-
plex, they take time to be done cor—
rectly, Clevidence said.

“We hope all projects will be an
improvement to students, faculty and
staff," he said. “And improvements
take time."

Clevidence said he is excited
about the projects that have just been

completed, the projects in the pro-
cess of being completed and t ose
planned.

UK‘s Children's Ilospital, complet-
ed this past summer, was a great
accomplishment the University was
proud to finish, he said.

As for the current projects, Clevi—
dence said the water expansion project
on Euclid Avenue should be complet-
ed in mid-to-late December.

A chilled water line is being

9

installed connecting South Campus
to North Campus. “'ith the water
line, which runs underneath Euclid
Avenue, North Campus residence
halls will eventually have air condi-
tioning.

The Kentucky Clinic construction
will have no delays and should be com-
pleted in late spring of 1998, Clevi-
dence said.

The student was detained just after the shoot

a spokeswoman for the .\lc(lracken (Zounty school

with one count of tnurder and seven counts of

The boy kept firing but finally stopped and lay

The boy had spare ammunition and two other
guns in his backpack. Bond said. He said the boy
was small in stature and emotionally immature:
beyond that, the motive was unclear.

The boy had brought a handgun and ear plugs

had told other students last week that “something

Circle of love
giving gifts to
area children

By Jessica Coy
Sta/fl! 'rm-r

(linger, a 7-year—old girl who likes purple
dresses, hopes to have a brighter Christmas this
year because ofthe Circle of Love.

(linger is one of the 650 children selected frotn
area elementary schools who will benefit from the
program. Circle of Love receives lists of names
from school counselors and bases the number of
children selected from each school in numbers
proportionate to the number of children who are
part ofthe free lunch program.

“\\'e have one school from which we accepted
about 50 children, and one from which we only
accepted six," said Debbi Scott. co—chair of the
Circle of Love program.

The boys and girls, ranging from i to 11 years
of age, submit wish lists in which they list their
dream gift as well as second and third choices.
This year's dream gifts included everything from
bikes to shoes to a blanket and pillow.

“The children assigned to L‘K are the neediest
of the needy," Scott said. “These are children who
otherwise might not get a gift on Christmas."

Circle of Love is rttn by volunteers through
the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Student
Affairs and is sponsored this year by the
\Vomcn's Forum Outreach Committee. The
program was started at the UK Medical Center
in 1986 and was brought to the Lexington catn-
pus in 1987.

“\thn the program first started, we only
accepted 500 names, and since we have row n to
where we can take 650," said \Vini “umpire-v. co—
chairwoman ofthe Circle of Love program.

For the past few weeks, Circle of Love has
had tables set up in the Student Center and in
the Agriculture Department for the distribution
of names. So far, all but 18 children have SPOIP
sors.

“At this point, monetary donations in any
amount are being accepted," Scott said. “This way.
people who don't have time to shop will still be
able to help a child.

“Any donations will be placed in a fund which
we will allocate to the children who did not receive
a s onsor. Then we will go and shop for those
chililren."

The gifts will be collected on Dec. 8 and 0 at
locations in the Student Center and College of
Agriculture. After being sorted, the presents will
be collected by resource counselors from the indi-
vidual elementary schools, anti with the help of
UK truckin and UK stores, the gifts will be deliv-
ered to the amilies.

“I participate in this program because I‘m a
mother and I can't ima 'ne facin Christmas
knowing that I couldn‘t Titi' my children any-
thing," Scott said. “This is definitely something
that needs to be done.“

into a smooth and
flowing rhythm that
floats the listener through the
song.

The powerful “(io and Sin No
More" by Rebecca St. James
receives its strength through her
emotional voice. james’ voice
locks the listener in the path of the
solid and pounding lyrics.

The \Vaiting's “Put the Blame
On Me" has a catchy feel without
taking away frottt the urgency
expressed in the lyrics. A great
deep and dark feeling one usually
finds in secular music exists in
(irammatrain’s “Pain," and it
rocks the listener frotn his or her
seat. “\Vhat lf 1 Stumble," by dc
Talk, is musically as worry—filled
and solemn as the lyrics. and both
contribute to flow the listener into
dependency and praise of the
Lord.

ln general. all the collaborated
songs are high quality diverse
material and arranged on the
album in such a way the listener
is accustomed to a different
sound and feeling for each song.
If only the saute praise could be
given to the new songs on the
(11). If you are searching for a
good collaborative album con—
sisting of (Ihristian alternative
and pop. then this should suit
just fine.

R()L'.\'l) OAK, (iai # Sitting
in the morning sun. in a marble
tomb cooled by shade trees, Otis
Redding rests about a hundred
paces front the ranch house he
built before death and a posthu—
mous hit made him a legend.

It’s approaching 30 years since
Retlding’s plane crashed into an icy
\Visconsin lake on Dec. 10, 1967
7* three days after he recorded
“(Sittin‘ on) the Dock of the Bay.”

The soul singer’s music now
reaches a second generation of
fans, and his widow, Zelma Red-
ding, meets them at her front door.
Somehow, they find the unmarked
road leading to the Reddin fami-
ly's HO—acre ranch. They 5 0w up
every month or so, asking permis-

sion to pay their respects.

“This is ttot (iraccland. This is
my home," .\lrs. Redding noted.

But when visitors mind their
manners. she escorts thetn to the
grave.

“These are kids 24. 35 years
old. who weren‘t even born when
Otis was alive," .\lrs. Redding said
“They'll just stand there and they
just cry and cry."

Crying. be rging atid pleading
-— those wort s are often used to
describe Redding‘s voice, which
touched on emotions and experi-
ences far beyond his brief 36 years.

Blazing a trail front Macon,
Ga, to Memphis, Tenn” he creat-
ed a sound that reached across the
color line. winning over a large
white audience without dilttting
his rural, black roots.

“That's incredible, to find his
tnttsic as influential as it's ever
been." said l’htl \Valden. Red—
ding‘s manager who went on to
found (Zapricorn Records. “1 lis
legend is really ‘sans hype.’ It has
made it to this point purely on the
magnificence of his music."

Perhaps his death played a part,
too. Redding never had a crossover
hit ttntil “Dock ofthe Bay." which
was released a ntonth after the
crash. lt vaulted to No. l on the
pop attd rhythm and blues charts.

Mrs. Redding insists the song
succeeded because it was equal
parts otttcn and epitaph.

“it seems as though the song
was letting you know. ‘l won‘t be
here a long, long time.m she said.
“That song connects so well with
()tis‘ death. It‘s like, it tells a story.

If you know about Otis Redding
and you listen to ‘(Sittin' on) the
Dock of the Bay.‘ it just ptits this
ball of sadness in your heart."

Redding repeatedly cracked the
Rb'zB charts with Top 10 hits like
“.\lr. l’itifttl." and “Try a Little
Tenderness." But crossover success
on the white-dominated pop charts
elttded him.Still, he reached white
audiences on the college circuit.
where fraternity parties had
become popular stops for touring
soul singers By reaching ottt to
both whites and blacks, Redtling
and other soul singers have been
credited with producing the sound-
track to the civil rights movement.

“lt‘s simplistic, bttt it was awful—
ly difficult for people to hate when
they loved the music so much,"
\Valden said.

As police held him in custody,
the boy continuously cursed the
officers, accusing them of
racism.

\Vatts found out the boy once
had a Big Brother whom he
missed.

“He said his Big Brother was
the most positive thing in his life."
\Vatts said.

“\Vben I started talking to
him as a person, be respected
me.“

The two have been keeping in
touch since, Watts said.

“Even if it's a year, you're
never going to know what they’re
going to take away from that
year," he said.

Then, Burnett pierced the air
with “As I walk throu h the val-
leys of the shadows of eath ..."

The three brothers started

spurting out tidbits about their
lives — what songs they liked,
what kind of pizza, what football

They'd been featured on a tele-

were eager to talk to another

About 400 volunteers have
been matched with little brothers
and sisters in the Lexington area,
said Lori Bailey of the Lexington
chapter.

“Our main goal is to recruit
students,” she said.

“Their requirement is to
spend time with the child for a
year. We hope that they will make
some type of an impact with the
kid.”

Not Jeff Zurcher’s.
Zurcher leaves today for

state interview process for the

go.
“The interview is the toughest
part for me, personally,” Zurcher
said.

“I really have to relax and be
myself.”

Zurcher, an En lish and adver-
tising senior wit a 4.0 grade—
point avera e, stands a good
chance, said K history professor
Dan Rowland.

“It's hard to predict these
things,” Rowland said, “but he is
definitely in a strong position. I
think he has a profile the commit-
tee would look fondly on.”

Included in that profile is an
outstanding academic record, a
strong athletic back round and a
“community-mindedg orientation,”
Rowland said.

“He really has devoted a lot of
time to service,” Rowland said.
“That’s the kind of thing that you
want to come out in your inter—
View.”

Zurcher is just pleased with the
op rtunity, and is looking to cap-
ita me.

“There’s a reception (tonight),
and that gives me a chance to meet
the interviewers and the other
candidates," Zurcher said. “I feel
really privileged, blessed and
lucky.”

The Rhodes is a lofty goal, one
Zurcher is trying to accomplish.
He won’t be irreversibly harmed if
it doesn’t happen, however.

“I'm not going to beat myself
over the head about it. I’ll let it

o,” Zurcher said.

“It’s like I said in my essay, ‘IfI
get this, it will change my life. Ifl
don’t get it, it won’t change my
life at all.”

Teammate Jimmy Carter is one
who seconds that.

“Jeff is one of the most humble
individuals I have ever met,”
Carter, a biology senior and team
punter, said. “He’s brilliant, but he
doesn’t come off like he’s brilliant.
He’s very warm and dependable,
and he’s a great friend.”

“It will definitely help me in my
career and job search to have gone
through this,” Zurcher said.

the team to strongly consider giv—

“There's a high probability of
that happening. I think we’ll have

we‘ll be a great team,” Zurcher
said. “It would be fun to come
