Senate addresses Grad s

Proposal sent bile/e
to committee ofi‘er
questions raised

By Karla Dooley

(,‘onh‘ilmlmg ll 'rm't'

The University Senate sent a proposal
to increase admissions reqtiireincnts to
the Graduate School back to the commit-
tee esterday.

The proposal would have raised the
minimum undergraduate grade-point
average to 2.7‘ for admission to the
Graduate School. The current require-
ment is a 2.5 (IPA.

A number of senators voiced concern
about the change.

Mike ’l‘omblyn. a graduate stttdent
on the Senate (Iouneil, said he believed
a minimum (Graduate Record l‘ixam
score would be a more appropriate
means of evaluating students, since
applicants come from a variety of
undergraduate environments.

“\Ve otight to do what's right and find
the best students," he said.

Sen. Alan Kaplan said the Senate need—
ed better rationale for making the change.

"The fact that the benchtnark institu—
tions have it isn‘t a good enough reason,"
Kaplan said.

Although the re uirement cottld be
overridden, it might discourage at-ri‘sk stu-
dents. such as those frotn tninority groups
or low .socio—cconomic backgrounds. frotn
applying. Student Government Associa-
tion President Melanie Cruz said.

The proposal uould also have required

I

applicants to submit scores from the atta-

lytical portion of the aptitude section of

the (iRl‘T. in addition to the verbal and
quantitative sections. which are
already required.

The amendment was sent back to the
Senate (Iommittee on Admissions .itid
,-\cademic Standards for further review.

In other business, the Senate rec-
ommended that the probationary peri-
od for non-tenured faculty be extend»
ed to eight years.

Faculty must complete their proba—
tionary period before applying for
tenure.

The probationary period now
stands at seven years.

In addition, the provision allows
faculty members some additional flexi—
bility in extreme circumstances.

L'p to a year's absence is permitted in

The Senate also reused the rules for

Students may no longer repeat a

\ccording to the Senate proposal,
students were repeating courses under

resident (Sharles \Vethington was hired, in
part, on his ability to wheel and deal with state

and local officials. \\’ith the lone exception of

losing most of the community colleges. \\ ething—
ion has ptit those skills to good use by acquiringr
financing for otir new library and squeezing .in extra
$400,000 annually from Rtipp Arena.

The deal will certainly cost the city a substantial
amount of money (not that it had a choice), btit it
achieves goals on both sides oftlie issue: downtown
businesses will continue to generate rev»

enuc from UK home games, and L‘K will m nun OPINION

pick tip additional revenue to support an
increasingly expensive athletics program.

Of course. that's only for six or possibly eight
more years. However. it will allow the (Itvic (Lenter
(Lorporation to continue making hefty payments on
Rupp's debt until about 2004 or so, leavtng it only
another 10 years to pay off its bills,

'l‘hat shouldn’t be too much of a problem for a
facility that finds itself with a more lucrative tenant
than the \Vildcats: the Kentucky ’l‘horoughblades.

Ultimately the new contract is only a stopgap
measure until it‘s more politically feasible to renew

talks on a new arena. After all, UK surely isn't
going to let its expensive and detailed study gather a
mountain ofdust.

So what shall we do in the meantime?

first, go back to the drawing board on the arena
design. \Ve were all a little stunned to learn that a
$100 million arena would have fewer seats than
Rupp. (Lome on, ifyou want public support for this
thing you’ve got to increase seating capacity and
reduce the proposed allotment of seats reserved for
donors.

Secondly, we need CM. Newton to put
something in writing that will guarantee
students better seating in the lower arena. As for
squeaky wheels, we've been squawking about this
for years and the silence is deafening.

l‘hirdly, UK must maintain its commitment not
to compete with Rupp for concerts, conventions,
tractor-pulls and the like.

l’inally, we would ask that Lexington Center
make a few inexpensive cosmetic changes to at least
make the arena looking more like UK’s home. How
about some blue/white color schemes and a more
attractive hardwood?

Readers are encouraged to

that would reduce the need some

students and faculty at the
College of Law that could change
if they are willing to invest a little

for a refurbished law school.

As sotne of you know, we ran
an editorial last week about the
condition of UK’S law building in
comparison to other schools.
That’s because the days of

that make up part of the tuition
differential.

This means that a number of

tlte state's brightest students
might go elsewhere and out of
state applicants will have little
incentive to consider UK. This
has a direct bearing on the overall
quality of graduates that UK

sends out into the Blue tass,

region and it’s why local law rms
have a compelling interest to see
UK becomes a Top 50 law school.
This isn't to say that UK doesn’t
produce some damn fine lawyers,
but why not do everything possi-
ble to improve the t uality of the
applicant pool?

school applications have
dropped the past two
years, (in some cases by 10
percent or more) leaving
many schools scrambling
to fill classrooms.
