New program
may improve
advising system

 

By Brian Bennett
Senior Staff Writer

 

When the University was exam—
irted reccrttly for reaccreditatiort.
adriiinistrators found that one of the
riiost confusing and criticized pro-
cesses that students face is the ad-
visittg systerit.

Advisers often are swatnped with
beirtg responsible for dozens of stu-
dents. and the process is not consis-
tent throughout the University. ad-
ministrators discovered.

To try to improve the process.
UK is creating a rtew center to ad-
vise all undecided maiors, transfer
students and anyone else who needs
help.

“( )tte reason we‘re moving ahead
on this is because whenever I talk
to students. the most consistent
complaint I hear is that students
don't feel like they're getting good
advising." said Robert llemenway.
chancellor for the Lexington Carn-
pus. “l wartt to work on that."

lhe center is scheduled to open
by June I

l'K‘s advising systerri was criti-
ct/ed as being inconsistent and uri-
orgarn/cd by a visiting committee
of tlte Southern .’\Sst)t‘lttli(in of(‘ol~
Icgcs and Schools last fall when
that group reviewed the University
for accreditation.

Nearly the same critique was giv-
cn by I’K‘s Self-Study and realign—
ment and restructuring task forces.

.-\.s a result. UK President (‘harles
\\'ethington included the center
among the so proposals in his re-
port on realignment and restructur-
trig. released at last month's Board
of 'l’rustees meeting.

The center was one of the few

proposals in Wethingtort‘s report
that was ttot designed to save mori-
ey.

“lri a time of realignment and re
structuring. that's when you should
try to improve." llemenway said.
“Clearly. this is one area we need to
improve on."

llemenway said the center will be
utilized tnore than just during ad-
vartce registration periods.

“I foresee the center as being
kind of rut urgent treatment center.
where arty student cart go tutd get
help there or get referred to some
one who cart help them." he said.

Dean of Undergraduate Studies
l.ouis Swift. who will be in charge
of the center. said the advising fa-
cility will staff about 10 employees
zuid serve about 3.000 students.
This ratio. he said. will be better
than the current one.

All undecided majors currently
are handled by a small group of ad-
visers in the College of Arts and
Sciences.

“'llie new center will have more
people." Swift said. ”so we antici-
pate being able to do sortie things
that we can't do now because of a
lack of resources."

Swift said some of the things he
hopes to do are to identify students
who are having problems and give
them the assistance they need.

“We hope to take an active inter-
vention iii students‘ welfare." he
said. “We want to try to focus on
those students most at risk."

By doing so, Swift said. the cen—
ter cart help increase the retention
rate of incoming freshmen.

Staffing of the center will be
done by moving people out of their

Lexington hands that have tasted the
big time. B(‘B's record label wattled
the group to compromise its unique
style and churn out At )R mush.

“I think it's kind ot a big mistake
on their part." llcndricks said.
“Willi the last album. the radio re-
sponse We got was better than any«
one expected it to be."

One example ol li(‘li's treatment
by the record label was met its vid-
co “the lipic Continues." li(‘li

where the group practically grew
up.

"We [origin with (‘hameleon
about doing the video at the “rock-
lage." Angstrom said. “Basically.
them and otir manager said we were
era/y. Why would we want to do
that?"

So what scenic place had the
money-minded execs picked out I'm

While the split trom the record
company and their non-triusical
liircd hands did not cattse much
gr‘ict. the loss ol .\lctiee. who now
tronts the local batid Root llog. was
hard on the band and especially on
Angstrom.

“We always said we would split
the hand tip before we lost otrr
friendship. lt iust came down to
that." Angstrom said. “liither we‘re
going to be in a band like liaith No
More. which openly admits they
hate each other. Which. totally. to
me. is the opposite of what our hand
stands for. We are extremely honest.
We don‘t try to pull or come oil. as
anything other than we are."

Although {\lc(iee has parted. the
band still remains close to its drum-
mer. as llcndricks plays harmonica
l‘or Root llog.

"It‘s weird because it's like we‘re
brothers." Angstrom said. “'l\lier’e's
been a lot of hurt there it will take

“People (in Lexington) will be able

Cajun-born banjoist carries tradition

 

By Deve Levender
Arts Editor

 

Used to be you could find blue-
grass in the bluegrass region.

World-renowned baitioist ll).
(‘rowe had. in his New South hand.
one of the greatest collections of
talent ever known to the area or to
that genre of music. 'l‘ony Rice. Jer-
ry Douglass and Ricky Skaggs kept
the Holiday lnrt North hopping
nearly every weekend iii the rind-
1970s with their style of new grass.

Area bluegrass fans did not sit
around sulking through winter
waiting for the sun to shitte on sutti-
tner bluegrass festivals because (‘e-
cil Jones was cranking out courtl-
less classic bluegrass recordings
from ltis Lemco studios.

However, the gloom of a grass-
k‘ss winter scttlcd iti after (‘rowe
turd his bunch quit the [tin scene, as
Skaggs. Rice and Douglass moved
on Bluegrass in the bluegrass re
gion has become like a l'K football
win: hard to find.

(inc of the most unlikely people
to carry the tradition is a man who
w as born iii Baton Rouge turd spetit
the early part of ltis lite lll Argenti-
na. where his lather worked as geol-
ogist. He knows blues and reggae.
is a tontter /.ydeco singer arid gui-
tarist. aitd got tiispued by the not-
so-llattcrittg movie about Appala-
chia. “Deliverance."

llis nrunc is Jim t)li\e. hillljti
picker and singer.

More often than not. you Will
fittd him alone on the weekertds in a
Lexington coffeehouse or bar hud-
dled on some cramped. dimly light-
ed s‘tage picking the lonesome blues
on his five-string banjo or guitar.

“This area lent its name to blue-
grass music." said ()live. who
earned a forestry degree frotn l‘K
in 1979. “This is the only place tn
the world that‘s called the blue»
grass. So you got bluegrass music
available iii the place. and you think
there would he a lot of people to
come out and see it."

()live. who quit Zydecola to pet-
forrn solo. finds taking bluegrass to
the streets of Lexington a butt row
to hoe.

He could pass as Mr. Rogers"
son, He has no gimics. He has no
l’ink l-‘loydcsquc laser light show
with which to dazzle the crowd. Brit
like Fred Rogers' classy cardigans.
(“he has character.

“It's just that i don’t have long
hair arid shake my a lot arid
battg my head against the lloor."
(Hive said

"\nd l‘tn itot going to do tltal. ci-
tltet. it‘s not what 1 etnoy, lhere‘s a
way to ctuoy yourself without bcat<
ing yourself to death arid bluegrass
otters that "

|)espite that fact that there are
few venues that allow for tradition-
al acoustic music. ()live pltigs along
with a strong voice. polished must-
cal sensibilities and a heart arid
head ltill ot hundreds of songs that
cross c\cry barrier and draw no
ltncs

"it‘s tough because of the impres-
sion. 1 think. of a bluegrass musi-
cian as art entertainer." ()live said.
"It cart be a hayseed impression that
people have. 0r somebody that
doesn't ltave a depth at entertaining
or a depth musically."

Although ()live lists himself as a
bluegrass artist. his repertoire and
influences min the gamut.

“I‘m ttot a bluegrass purist. I want
for people to be entertained. l wruit
also to play the music that expresses
how I feel,“ Olive said. “My tttusic
is a variety. It‘s a retlectiort on how
I leamed to play stringed instru-
ments. l'm probably the only barrio
player you'll hear that will play
“Brown Sugar‘ on the banjo.“

l)ll\'C. who Hails out (‘huck Ber—
ry. .lolin l’rine. Mel Mcl)iuiiel. John
lllttlltlftl ruid (‘ajun legend Doug
Keishaw‘s material iti nearly the
sillllC breath. finds his diversity is a
definite audience appeal.

"1 don't find it incumbent on me
to stick straight to bluegrass perfor-
mances of songs. and I think that is
the progressive nature that blue—
grass needs turd that is what has set
the Seldortt Scene apart rind New
tirass Revival apart." ()live said.

While ()live realizes the lone-
some otigiits of many moutttaitt bal-
lads tltat shaped his music. he is oil
known to incite the audience into
sing-a—loiigs of such good-time folk
melodies as “Shortening Bread."
"(‘ainptown Races." “Dixieland“
arid "Ya‘ll (‘omef'

" l'hcte's a lot of joy itt bluegrass
music. and that‘s what I fittd very
appealing to ttte. And I‘m glad there
are some places that allow a blue-
grass entertainer to come in arid try
it with them." ()live said. "'lhe peo-
ple who come to hear it love it."

Aside from being one of the few
entertainers in (‘entral Kentucky
who list thetnselves as bluegrass.
()live also is a rarity. in that like
only a handful of banjoists. he also
sings lead vocals. lle attributes this
to his unique practicing habits
growing up.

"It's rare to find people to come

He also said he believes the re-

is not doing trittch for traditional
performers like himself.

"I tlttttk it's going to be difficult
