FRANKFURT. Ky. — The state
of Kentucky still will have two
dental schools. but incoming en-
rollment will be dropped from 90
to 80 students beginning next year.
under a plan approved yesterday
by the state Council on Higher lid-
ucation.

The council. in a [2—3 vote.
passed the plan to keep both
schools despite opposition from
practicing dentists who said their
field is gluttcd.

The vote puts to rest — for now
a debate that has sprung up re-
peatedly about whether the state
needs dental schools at both UK
and the University of Louisville.

Dropping the enrollment would
allow for the glut of dentists to be
alleviated by the year 2000. ac-
cording to council research. How-
ever, the enrollment issue will be

 

 

 

 

Tuition hike approved for upcoming year

Student member’s motions to stop, cap increase defeated easily

 

By Brian Bennett
Senior Staff Writer

 

FRANKFORT.Ky.—Students U I

will pay higher tuition at Ken-
tucky's public universities next
year because of a decision yester-
day by the state Council on High-
er Education.

The council voted 16-1 to ap-
prove a tuition policy change dur-
ing a meeting at Kentucky State
University. passing a plan called
“option two" that allows the coun-
cil to set tuition rates annually in-
stead of biennially.

The change means tuition rates
for the upcoming school year.
which had been set in 1991, will

analyzed every other year as part
of the recommendation passed dur-
ing the council‘s nearly three-
hourlong meeting at Kentucky
State University.

A number of council members
questioned whether two schools
are needed. given the fact that re-
cent budget cuts have made money
tight at the state universities.

Council member J. David Porter
was the most outspoken, calling
the council stast data “flawed“
and saying the enrollment reduc-
tion was “an easy way out“ of the
larger problem.

Stewart Conner and Paul Wedge
joined Porter in opposing the re-
duction plan.

The council had received about
180 letters from practicing den-
tists. virtually all advocating the
closure of one of the schools.
Many of them said closing one
school would save between $7 mil-
lion and $10 million.

 

  

be revrsed.

Next year‘s undergraduate resi-
dent rates will increase by $60 per
semester at the community colleg-
es. $80 per semester at the regional
universities and $140 per semester
at the doctoral institutions. Tuition
for UK next semester will be 5080
for residents and $2,940 for non-
residents.

Thc lone dissenter on the coun-
cil was student member Clay lid-

CHE keeps both dental schools,
but enrollments to be lowered

But the council staff said that es-
timate was too high. (‘Hli deputy
executive director for finance Ken-
neth Walker said $1.6 million will
he saved after four years with re—
duced enrollments. Combining that
amount with the savings that would
result from closing a facility would
only net between $2.] million and
$2.6 million. he said.

UK President Charles Wething—
ton credited the council staff for
showing “the big-dollar savings
that some anticipate simply are not
there.“

The economic impact of closing
one school also was cited. The
council had received a letter from
the Lexington Chamber of Com-
merce which stated the loss of
UK‘s dental school would have a
$30 million impact on the city‘s
economy.

wards, who urged members to vote
for option one. which would have
left next year‘s tuition rates as they
had been set. Fxlwards also pro-
posed an amendment to option two
to place a 12 percent cap on next
year’s increase. The amendment
was defeated 13-3.

Most of the discussion about the
decision occurred in the council‘s
finance committee meeting. Uni-
versity presidents spoke in favor of
option two. including UK Presi-
dent Charles Wethington.

'lhen students were allowed to
give their side. as four student
body presidents and one student
addressed the council.

“What students from my univer-

sity have told me is that they can‘t
afford a tuition increase.“ said
Chando Mapoma. student presi-
dent at Morehead State University.
“If you can find no other means of
raising funds. please put a cap on
it for future years so this will not
happen every year."

University of Louisville student
Chad Montrie, who testified before
the council in January at a public
forum at U of L. wanted council
members that students would not
lie down and accept the increase.

“I will not guarantee passive ac-
ceptance by students." Montrie
said. “if you choose 2utything

TRANKFOR'I'. Ky. — Civil-
iights activist Rev. Louis (‘ole-
man urged the state Council on
Higher Education yesterday to
investigate universitics' hiring
practices and retention of minor-
ities.

At the end of the (‘llli meet-
ing at Kentucky State Universi-
ty. Coleman told the council that
universities are “lagging behind“
in efforts to hire more black fa-
culty members.

“The old cliche of ‘We cannot
find Afro-American faculty.‘ we
don‘t believe that.“ Coleman
said. “Each university can find
great basketball players We feel
the satne priority should be di—
rected toward hiring more Afri-
can-American faculty.“

Coleman. pastor of First Con-

 

Minister criticizes universities
on hiring, retention of minorities

gregarional Methodist Church in
Louisville. Ky. said blacks are
overlooked for top positions
even in sports.

“The only major African-
American coaches are right here
on this campus tKSl ll." be said.
“You can't find African-
American head coaches even in
minor sports. And that‘s a con-
ccrn."

Coleman said the universities
have problems with retaining
minority students. especially at
the state's law schools. He asked
the council to establish a support
system for students.

“Students come to these carn-
puses in September. and in June
they're gone. never to be heard
from anymore." he said. “Any
mother and father who wants to
send their youngster to any uni-
versity in this state has the right
to get some support for their

young people in this system."

(‘olcman also mentioned a
problem with international stu—
dents and teachers who are being
harassed on campuses across the
state. he said. because of linger-
ing stereotypes from the (iulf
War.

Council chainnan loe Bill
Campbell said the issue of hiring
minority faculty has "been given
lip service for 20 years." He said
perhaps it‘s time to review the
council's strategic plan adopted
in 1991 and to see “how each of
the universities are progressing.“

Coleman made his presenta-
tion alter the council had debat-
ed about the state's two dental
schools for more than two hours.
He asked for that kind of atten-
tion for his issues,

“I hope you put the same kind
of emphasis on hiring tnore Afri-
can~Americans."

 

 

 

 

RHA blood drive begins
today in residence halls

 

By Kimberly Coleman
Contributing Writer

 

The UK Residence Hall Associa
tion and the Central Kentucky
Blood Center are teaming up in a
weeklong campus blood drive to
bolster spring blood supplies.

Blood donors should be at least
l7 years old. weigh at least 100
pounds and must pass a medical
screening. Upon arrival at one of
the donation sites. students will be
asked to provide proof of identifi-
cation and will be asked lifestyle
questions conceming "high risk"
behavior.

The actual donation will take five
to eight minutes. and. because it is
recommended that the donor rest
for about 10 minutes afterward. re-
freshments will be provided. Stu~
dents should expect to be at the site
for about 30 minutes. All blood do-
nors will receive a free “Right Di-

rection" T-shirt.

As an added incentive. UK Park-
ing and Transportation Services
will waive one parking citation.
provided it was issued prior to to-
day.

To receive credit. proof of dona-
tion must be presented to the park-
ing office no later than Feb. 17.
This waiver does not apply to im-
pounded vehicles. violations of fire
lanes. disabled parking and improp-
er use ofUK parking permit.

Last year's blood drive resulted
in 1.037 pints of blood contributed
by UK students. This year‘s total
from the fall semester is 564.

Staff members from the Central
Kentucky Blood Center will be set
up at the following campus loca-
tions: today at the Kirwan-Blanding
Complex Commons from 2 pm. to
9 pm. and tomorrow in the recrea-
tion rooms of Haggin and Holmes
balls from 2 pm. to 9 pm.

Financial Aid to cut service
while computers updated

 

By Melissa Rosenthal
Staff Writer

Services offered in the Financial
Aid Office will be cut back for four
to six weeks beginning Saturday be-
cause of a conversion in the com-
puter system.

The Financial Aid Office is con-
vetting to a new computer system
so they will be more integrated with
the other computer systems on cam-
pus.

“We wanted to update the system
so that we can offer students the
best service possible." said Bobby
Halsey. director of the Financial

 

Aid Office.

Office hours will remain the
same. so students that need to talk
about services offered are welcome.
However. financial aid officers will
be unable to access the computers
or give out any specific informa-
tion.

“We want to put students on no-
tice so that they can prepare for the
upcoming weeks.“ Halsey said.
“During the time of the shut down.
we will be able to provide little ser-
vice to those students receiving fi-
nancial aid. But we will gladly help
students in any way we can."

Speaker says Perot aided
two-party political system

 

By Ty Helpln
Assistant Sports Editor

After Ross Perot‘s strong third
party showing in the 1992 election.
some people may see the two-party
political system weakening in the
United States. Not so. political ana-
lyst Gerald Pompcr said in a speech
yesterday.

 

Pomper. a political science pro-
fessor from Rutgers University.

said Perot‘s votes actually will help
the party system.

"Competition strengthens mgani-
rations.“ he said. "This is true in
business or sports. The Ford Motor
Company has been strengthened in
past years due to increased compe-
tition from Japanese companies."

The vote for the third-party can-
didate was strange this year. Pom-

woman who is attacked.

This system was designed strictly
for women. In fact. no men attend-
ed the program. except for one of
the instructors. The RAD class is
taught by UK police officers Holly
Davis and Tim Mallory.

RAD is not a martial arts course
but does teach the basics of self de-
fense. The techniques taught de-
pend upon muscle memory. If a
woman is attacked. her muscles will
"remember" how to fend off the ag-
gressor and escape him.

The course is broken up over four
days and is taught in three-hour
blocks. On the first day. partici-

As a general rule. big-budget
Hollywood films have only one of
two purposes: to enlighten or to en-
teruun.

Certainly. there is a distinct dif-
ference between a “JFK" and an
"lzmest Scared Stupid.“ However.
there are a few that walk down the
“Silence of the Lambs“ road and
have the best of both worlds. Such
a picture is at once intellectually
stimulating and pleasurable escap-
ism (though I would not begin to
dare call "Silence“ escapist).

its lengthy run to stay on it.

“Oil" begins in the early 19805
with Lorenzo —~ the young sort of
Augusto and Michaela ()done. A
series of small accidents prompts
his parents to seek medical advice.
This advice comes in the form of a
literal death sentence to Lorenzo:
He is diagnosed with ALD (adreno-
leukodystrophy), a crippling genet-
ic condition.

At the time, all boys (ALI) is

two years of diagnosis.

Both parents go through various
stages of acceptance. including dis-
belief and self-blame. However.

they are resolute in one thing —
their search for a cure.

Neither Augusto nor Michaela
knows the first thing about medi-
cine. but they refuse to accept their
doctor‘s assurance of failure. They
begin an uncompromising search
for any information that can help
them buy time for Lorenzo, who be-
gins a horrible metamorphosis from
a vibrant, smart young boy to, for
all appearances. a vegetable.

They educate themselves on the
basic principles of medicine to bet-
ter understand what they are up
against, which proves to be not only
a disease, but the medical institu-
tion itself.

Resistance comes at them from
many sources, from the Food and

Off The Ground is a clever collec-
tion of 13 songs that prove McCrut—
ney still can rock like his days of
old. Compared to other releases,
this one has a harder edge. yet
Paul‘s craftiness and talent remain
strong.

The central message of (WT/1e
Ground appears to be hope for the
future and the basic idea of change.
This is evident on “Hope 01' Deliv-
erance." which is the first video
and single. In this. Md‘artney
sings “We live in hope of deliver-
ance from the darkness that sur-
rounds us."

McCartney also experiments
with a heavier sound on a few
tracks, one of which is probably the
best song on this creative collec-
tion. The title track is complete
with distorted guitar work that is
extremely catchy.

This song. although very simple.
soars sky high with McCartney‘s
youthful, inspiring vocals. His
voice seems to have lost none of

unbcnditig in a search that takes a
near devastating toll on their ca-
reers turd their marriage.

The most fascinating aspect of
“Loren/o's Oil“ is the fact that it is
a true story; the ()dones are real
people whose efforts have proven
invaluable to the families whose
children suffer from ALI). Without
them. science might still be at a
standstill that would prove fatal to
the All) patients waiting for a cure.

'lheir story is inspiring and is. in
the most heroic sense, a testament
to the love and detennination the
()dones show for their son.

Also interesting is the diversity
present in the (Mom household.
Augusto is a native Italian who
works for the World Bank, and Mi-
chaela is an Irish-American lin-
guist. They are well traveled. culi-
narily learned. and they listen to
opera (Wowl). They are a true ‘90s

Beatles.

Also, as can be expected. there
are similarities to the musical styles
of The Beatles. “Mistress And
Maid." co-written with Iilvis (‘o-
stello. often sends one down memo-
ry lane and back to the days of Sgt.
Pepper. Another track. “The Lovers
That Never Were." also was co-
written with Iilvis Costello.

Interesting as it may be though.
“Lorenzo‘s Oil“ often comes up
dry. Its 140 minutes are about 30
minutes too long. and is filled to
the brim with technical infonna—
tion that. although made compre-
hensible, tends to draw out scenes
that could have been filled with
warmer material.

Susan Sarandon. as Michaela,
gives the kind of warmth the film
desperately needs. Her expressive
face can simultaneously reassure.
worry, learn and react — all of
which draws the viewer in with a
subtle intensity of emotion and
genuine caring.

She embraces the role. and while
she is on the screen there is little
doubt that she is Michaela ()done.

“C‘mon People“ is a beautiful
piece that captures a positive out-
look for our futures. We sense this
idea when the chorus kicks in.
“(‘.’mon people let the world begin/
We’ve got a future and it's charging
in."

As strong as this track is. it
would not be complete without the
mellowing piano. the inspirational
vocals and strings in the back-
ground. The use of strings could be
a style leftover from McCartney's
previous experimentation with clas-
sical music.

The remaining tracks are all quite
good. yet they have their ups and
downs. It could be that these tracks
never get off the ground. As a
whole. this is a valiant effort — an
effort that deserves to be heard.

Off The Ground may lack the hit
single that graced sotne of McCart-

r—————-——————_—----—------—

er.

Nick Nolte, as Augusto, brings
life to his role, as well. His Italian
accent is complete and reliable
throughout. and his mannerisms are
one of many layers he instills into
the fabric of the (Mom character.

His Augusto is a conflicted mix-
ture of sensitivity and grave respon-
sibility, and this performance. along
with his recent “(‘apc Fear“ and
“Prince of Tides," gives a new cred—
ibility to Nolte as an actor.

“Lorenzo‘s Oil“ is by no means a
very entertaining film. but it is en-
lightening and, iii many ways. up-
lifting. It is long. but if you are pa-
tient to the end, you will share the
()dones‘ triumph as they come ever
closer to a cure for their son‘s ill-
ness.
