Schedule squeeze: Fraternity members say few show for spring rush
because of holiday, bad weather and demands of new semester

By Tom Soper
STAFF WRITER

A long weekend and a late
start seem to have slowed down
spring rush for UK's social fra-
ternities. Starting rush in the
third full week of the semester
created a large hurdle for many
Greek organizations.

Josh Long. an agriculture
education sophomore and rush
chairman for FarmHouse Fra-
ternity. said that not as many
people have rushed this spring
compared to past years.

Students” lack of time this
late in the semester played a
big role in FarmHouse not see-
ing many rushees. Long said.

“This late in the semester
quizzes start coming up." he
said. “There‘s a lot more home-
work. so prospective members

don't have a lot of time to come
out and do things.”

Long said that those al-
ready in the fraternity also did-
n‘t have as much time to devote
to the rush process.

"We're here for academic
purposes. so our first commit-
ment is school. This kind of
takes a back seat. During the
summer (preparing for fall
rush) there's a lot more time to
get things done."

Along with the late start.
spring rush began the Sunday
of the Martin Luther King Holi-
day weekend.

Clint Wilder. a chemical en-
gineering junior and rush
chairman for Kappa Sigma so-
cial fraternity. said that the
combination of the three-day
weekend. bad weather and the
late start contributed to a poor

turnout.

“I've been here two anti a
half years and this is the lowest
number l've seen." Wilder said.

While some students were
able to make it back for rush
week. there were others who
didn't even realize that rush
was going on.

John Storm. a plant and
soil science junior who is rush»
ing this semester. ended up
coming back early for rush
week. but said he didn't find out
about it until two days before
rush began.

”I‘ve been out every night."
he said. “I didn't see a lot of
(other) people out though. It
probably could have been publi-
cized a little bit more."

Many of the fraternities
don‘t set quotas for member-
ship. and they don‘t expect

Vt sity‘s administrative
structure. it is time to start
ﬁlling the new positions.

Lee Todd has named a
committee to begin a search

for a new vice president of

research. and action will
soon take place to start a
search for a new senior vice
president for administration.

“i'd like to end them
both this semester. ideally.
or maybe by the end of the
summer." Todd said.

Todd appointed Kiniber

gincoring professor. to

lege of Agriculture. where he
will study animals and nutri-
tion and metabolism.

Boling emphasized the
iiiipt‘ntance of the position.

“The research we do is
important to the creation of
new businesses. new jobs
and helps all of our citizens."
Boling said.

The. position also brings
in revenue. something that is
much needed since the state.
and subsequently UK. are
facing revenue shortfalls.
Todd said.

"We want someone who
can continue to push us into
receiving additional federal
funding and agency grants."
Todd said.

Roi ing said those conside
i-i‘t-d should have experience
in laboratory research as
well as working with faculty.
staff and adminis‘trators.

Administrative experi
once is also a must for candi-
dates seeking to replace .lack

“The way this job has
been structured. it needs to

"There‘s never a dull
day. and no day is like the
day before it." Blanton said.

Todd said candidates
must also have the business
skills required to oversee
UK's $1.3 billion budget.

“People from corporate
areas would be considered.
but i want someone who has
had the academic experience.
too." Todd said.

Blanton. who retired last
year. took the position as a
one-year post-retirement ap-
pointment at Todd‘s request.

Todd said he might call
on Blanton to stay for an ex-
tra semester if the person
chosen for the position
should need assistance.

The two positions are not
the only ones that will be

The search for a perina-

Todd said.

“i wanted to be able to

Mike Nictzcl. [fK's act-
ing provost. recently said he
would consider applying for
the position if he and Todd
felt it Wtillltl be in liK‘s best
interest

in July. Niet/el said he
would not apply

large numbers in the spring
anyway.

However. Long and Wilder
both said that they felt with the
late start and the holiday that
their numbers will be even

Bad news: University officials say cuts
could affect pay raises, health insurance

By Andrea Uhde

new} itws tones

The UK administration is
unsure if faculty and staff will
I‘(‘(‘f‘iV‘ an annual pay raise
for the next two years. The
news comes at a time when
health insurance for employ
ees is expected to increase 1:3
percent.

.lack Blanton. senior vice
president for administration.
said the university had
planned on raising salaries for
many employees. but plans
may have to be altered be-
cause of funding cutbacks.

"We had budgeted expect-
ing some general fund in-
crease." Blanton said. "We
had not been expecting any-
thing like this."

l'nder Gov. Paul Patton‘s
proposed budget. the state will
cut funding by $6 million.
leaving UK with less money to
allot for salary raises. Blanton
said.

Every percent increase in
employee salaries costs the
school between 33.2 anti 33.5
million. he said.

The last time in memory
that UK couldn‘t raiSe salaries
was in the '80s. Bianton said.

Pay raises for employees
are based on annual peifoi-
mance reviews. The most re-
cent reviews will be released
next month.

Blanton said that if raises

don't fit in lllt' budget. it will
be tough for emplmccs w ho

earned.

"If it's a bail ycai itt,i' the

problem of rising health insur
ancc costs Blaiiton said ad
ministration named health
costs a top priority and will
work hard to ensure l'lx' ein
ployees won't pay for the i'is
ing costs

Blanton said providing
the money would cost the
school around $3 million and
if ['K can‘t afford the costs. "it
would be disastrous for us."

.iudith Schiffbauer. a full
time lecturer in the English
department. said she trusts
the administration to do its
best to address the problems

Health insurance should
take priority, Schifi‘baiii-r
said.

“if they can‘t do both. I
want them to take care of the
insurance." she said

Blanton said that llt‘ and
the administration are con
cerned that some faculty may

Parking ticket plan
calls for impoundment

Proposal suggests stricter enforcement

By Sonya Lichtenstein

Suriwsittt ,___.,

A proposal going before
the Lexington-Fayette L'rban
City Council tonight could
change parking in lexington.

If a wording change is
made to an existing ordinance.
a driver can collect only three
parking tickets before the city
takes action.

Upon a fourth violation
and officer discretion. the car
could be towed.

Under the new proposal.
tickets received prior to the
change will not be considered.

All parking tickets and
the towing fee must be paid
before the driver could repos<
sess the car.

This policy was created
more than two years ago Dick
DeCamp. third district coun-
cilman and member of the
parking meter committee.
gave the suggestion.

"The City will continue to
try to collect fines." Defamp
said "The old tickets will not
be forgiven."

Parking tickets given by
UK Police do not apply in this
policy. The universuy ticket-

ing office handles l'K's park-
ing violations.

DeCamp anti other supr
porters of this policy hope it
will generate more parking
space anti help police regulate
meters.

Scott Crosbie tit-large
councilman and mayoral can-
didate. opposes the policy

"It sends the wrong mes-
sage to individuals that want
to visrt downtown.” he said

Crosbie also said that
there are due process cor.

Like the runway: Owner says Isle of You
offers unique and hard to find fashions

By Sara Cunningham
GREEK—"7A“ H

Kaye Oberhausen said it
would be hard to find an inch of
open wall space at Isle of You
because every shelf. rack and
windowsill holds treasures of
all sizes. shapes and shades.

“It is amazing to be able to
walk in and ﬁnd this kind of va
riety in just one store." said the
arts administration freshmen.

And the store's owner Lori
Houlihan said it is welcoming
to women of all ages.

She said that amid all of the
specialty clothing and fashion
boutiques. Isle of You is the
store for the “universal
woman."

The store opened when
Houlihan realized there was
something missing from Lex~
ington‘s fashion scene.

“I worked in retail for
awhile but I noticed that there
was a market niche not being
ﬁlled." Houlihan said.

Houlihan said Isle of You
sells a great deal of collegiate-
and young professional wear to
college students as well as noV»
elty tees.

Houlihan said she travels
to Los Angeles and New York
City. where she shops at small
companies and vendors. to buy
items to stock the store.

She said it's important to
her that most of what she buys
is made in the United States.

”It‘s my favorite to find
something new that I know will
be really popular before I sell
it.“ Houlihan said. “I just love

To help her find just the
right things. Houlihan said she
works with her buyer and gen-

She also has an artist. Amy
Leigh. who decorates and adds
authenticity to many items in
the store.

Houlihan said she has no
plans for expansion. but finds
the idea of increasing the num-
ber of locations appealing.

“I will admit that the idea
of more Isle of Yous is kind of a
tasty proposition.“ Houlihan
said.

If the store was to expand
Houlihan said the next place
she would open a store would
be liouismlle because several
people from that area frequent
the store.

For now though. Houlihan
said she is satisfied with her
isle right where it is.

“The customers here are so
great." Houlihan said. “It‘s
wonderful to see people of all
ages enjoy the things I love."

Preparing
for the stark

l've lust learned in
the last few days
that I'm going to
be an uncle for
the fourth time.
I'm already a
super-cool uncle
to my three
beautiful nieces
so imagine how
cool I'll be with
Six years
experience under
my belt.
Hopefully, the
court will allow
me to be around
children again by
September. You
give a little kid
one lit M80 and
all of a sudden
you’re labeled
"negligent." Like
I said though, my
family is going to
have to wait till
September for
the little bundle
of joy. but to
pass the time I've
come up with yet
another list of
stuff to do.

The first thing to do
is inform
everyone of the
good news.
Gossip usually
gets around by
itself. but I've
heard that cable
advertisrng is in
this year.

Since we won’t know
the gender of the
tyke for a while
we'll have to
purchase
androgynous gifts
like gray sweat
pants and
Prince albums.

The parents should
rent a storage
facility to store
all the incoming
presents and
used baby stuff.
Then, they can
just pick out what
they want to
keep and sell the
rest on the Black
Market or eBay.

Parents usually let
their guard down
on their other
kids with all the
planning they'll
have to do with a
baby on the way.
I'll use this time
to train my
nieces to fetch
beer and write
term papers. I'd
better make sure
that they Cite all
of their
sources though.

Most people start
pools where they
bet on when the
baby Will be born
or how much it
Will weigh. Be a
little bold and
wager on the CCs
of drugs the
mother will take.

be sure to poke
fun at the dad-to-
be by informing
him that the
ultrasound has an
uncanny
resemblance to
that big guy

at the gym.

Child proofing the
house is always a
goodidea.l
suggest using
electricity to
your advantage
because a few
hundred volts will
teach any child
not to touch your
computer or
Wildcat
memorabilia.

Rupp renovation
a boon to students

The Athletics Department and Student Government have
found a way. via off season renovations to Rupp Arena. to give
students a better view of basketball games.

In order to gain the increased floor seating in the end zone.
students will give up Sec. 31 and half of Sec. 32. totaling 426 seats.
the same number sacrificed by season ticket holders in the
end zone.

Kathleen DeBoer. senior associate director for Athletics. said
that the season ticket holders being relocated have the Choice to
upgrade to the sections on the sidelines of Rupp by becoming
members of the Blue and White Fund.

Students should applaud the decision because they will not
only be closer to the floor. but the number of seats available to
them in the lower arena will increase as well from 1.600
to about 1.800.

While some students are still unsatisfied and say that Rupp
should more closely resemble Duke’s Cameron Indoor Stadium.
they should keep in mind the significant differences between
the two schools.

For one. Duke’s fan base is not centrally located like UK's m
its donors reside in places like New York City and Redding.
Wash. UK’s fan base and donors certainly live within driving dis-
tance. many living within the city.

Plus. UK basketball has so much history and tradition
queue the ESPN Classic theme music. Completely relocating the
prestigious sideline seats would be unacceptable to many (if not
most) of UK’s lifelong fans. While some students may not under-
stand why old people have so much clout in college sports. the
simple truth is that they do.

In fact. the current upgrades would probably not be feasible if
not for the renovations scheduled for the off season.

Regardless. students will have better seating next year. Stu-
dents. players and administration have already begun to express
their excitement over the new arrangements. and
for good reason.

“While
some
people
may not
withstand
why old
people
have so
much
clout in
college
sports,
the
simple
truth is
that they
do.”
