Service hOSpital in Baltimore.
His room is being guarded by

money was first discovered

Ombudsman

says she is
no advocate

By .-\.\'ITA R. STL‘RGILL
Kernel Staff Writer

L'K's new ombudsman is an
ombudswoman. Not only
that. Jane Emanuel is the
first woman appointed to this
position.

“My position is a little hard
to describe.“ Emanuel said.
“I try to solve problems
where no rules pertain. or if
someone goes through
procedures and is not
satisfied. I try to help,“
Emanuel said.

Emanuel's goals as
academic ombudsman in-
clude finding speedy solutions
to problems, getting people to
come see her sooner. letting
everyone know she is
available and making people
feel free to come see her.

“This is an independent
office, and it doesn't matter
who is the ombudsman. The
office should function in the
same fashion. that is. to help
the person get an answer to
his problem." said Emanuel.

“I don‘t act as an advocate
for the student, faculty or
administration. but as an
advocate for all,“ she said.

Mostly it is a matter of
identifying the problem. not
solving it. she said.

“Generally, people are
reasonable and try to do what
is right. It is crucial that I
remain impartial." Emanuel
continued.

“Overall, I think a sense of
humor will help me, but I

 

intend to the best job I
possibly can." she said.

“I think the job is
challenging and I'm looking
forward to it." she said.

Emanuel said between 100
and 300 people actually spoke
with last year's ombudsman.
Dr. Frank Buck.

Emanuel splits her time
between the Department of
Allied Health Professions and
her new position. She works
in the morning as the om-
budsman and her afternoons
are spent in Allied Health.

The academic ombudsman
must go through various
procedures before being
selected for the position.

A committee. made up of
various faculty and ad
ministration. sends out
names for nomination, then a
search committee recom—
mencs two to four names.

“President Singletary
makes the final selection, and
I‘m responsible to him and no
one else." said Emanual.

She was born in South
Carolina. living there 10
years before moving to
Alabama. Emanual attended
the University of Alabama,
where she received her

Bachelors. Masters, and
Doctorate degrees in
Education.

She went on to teach history
and English in Mobile and
Georgia. Emanuel also
taught in Libya, Turkey and
England for the Department
of Defense.

vestigation. The FBI was
involved because the theft
occured on government
property. A warrant for
Kimmey’s arrest was issued
on May 31.

Langston said the money
stolen came from fees paid to
the University by people
taking the GED. test. The
test. which is the eqhivalent
of a college diploma, is of-
fered at the center for the
benefit of Army personnel,
said Langston.

Kimmey served the center
as the campis’ main ad-

ministrator and as an
associate professor of
history. The Fort Knox center
offers four-year programs in
political science and
pyschology in addition to
lower-division courses in
other areas. The center,
which serves about 600
students, is the only one of its
kind operating in the UK
system.

Kimmy, at Louisville
resident, was found June 26 in
a motel room in Elkridge,
Md., after his girlfriend
telephoned police for help. A

routine check by Howard
County, Md., police revealed
the Louisville warrant.

Police said there is no in-
dication that the overdose,
which left Kimmey un-
conscious for four days, was a
suicide attempt.

Kimmey is being held on
$5,000 bail. A spokesman for
the US. Marshall’s office in
Baltimore said Kimmey’s
medical condition is slowly
improving. ‘ He said
procedures to return Kimmey
to Kentucky will begin after
he is released from the
hospital.

Lexington's Marcia Bell is
crowned Miss Kentucky

By DJ. HOSKINS
Kernel Staff Writer

“1 never really considered
myself a beautiful person as
far as my face goes.”

Hardly a statement typical
of a beauty pageant winner.
But Marcia Malone Bell,
newly crowned Miss Ken-
tucky 1978. doesn’t consider
what she won last week in
Louisville a beauty title.

She prefers the term
“scholarship pageant."

Relaxing at the home of her
most enthusiastic sup-

porter — sister Lorna —— the

 

outspoken UK speech therapy
senior is quick to defend “the
pageant" from criticisms of
women’s liberation ad-
vocates.

“You know,” Bell said,
with a confidence of someone
who has spoken on the subject
before, “I figure I made more
money in one night than all

'those ERA women made in a

whole year cutting it (the
pageant) down."
Money wasn't the only
benefit of that one night for
Bell.
Another was the 1978 blue

Newly crowned Miss Kentucky. Marcia Bell, never
considered herself much of a beauty queen. Her adoring
fans don't seem to agree as they crowd around her.
Marcia is a senior at UK majoring in education.

readily identify Miss Ken-
tucky’s whereabouts during
her year‘s reign.

“I’m so glad it was Wildcat
blue." said Bell. who herself
was clad in the familiar shade
and had a gold “No. 1" pin
glistening from her collar.

Miss Kentucky is the
daughter of the former
sportscaster Wayne"Be Good
Sports Fans‘ Bell. So she has
UK sports “in the blood.”

Her allegiance to UK. plus
the fact she is a Lexington
resident. makes Bell a little
regretful she won her title as
Cumberland Lake
rather than Miss Lexington.

She represented Lexington
in the pageant last year and
was second runner up, but
because of pageant rules she
could not represent her
hometown a second time.

Instead. Bell had to enter
the Miss Cumberland race,
which is open to anyone in the
state.

She couldn‘t have had a
more enthusiastic following if
she had represented her own
hometown.

Cumberland residents
backed their candidate with
green and blue T-shirts —
green for the water and blue
for Kentucky —— which read
“We back the UK Wildcats
and they won; We’re backing
Marcia...”

According to Bell, it is very
rare for a girl to win the Miss
Kentucky pageant on the first
try. Had she not won this
year, however, there would
not have been a third try
because she just “wouldn‘t
have had the mental at-
titude."

“This year was my peak
year.” she said with con-
fidence. “I was up for it.”

She was so up for it she
swept through both talent and
bathing suit preliminaries
with such assurance that
family and frienck in the
audience were confident of
her victory.
