Reforming SGA focus of debate for candidates

GPAC endorses Crosbie

By GREGORY A. HALL
Senior Staff Writer

Reform. and who is best suited to
implement it, was the theme in last
night’s debate among the candidates
for Student Government Association
president.

Much of the debate centered on
SGA‘s demographic makeup — in-
cluding the predominance of greeks
and the lack of cultural diversity in
the organization.

But at times the debate, which
drew about 150 people to Memorial
Hall, seemed to become a discourse
on who had the best grade point av-
erage. The presidential candidates
also traded barbs on their records
and experience —- or lack thereof
—- in SGA.

Byl Hensley was the most vocal
of the candidates, criticizing the
lack of results from candidate Chris-
ta Collins‘ service on the University
Senate.

He said she needs “to put your
principles where your mouth is."

Hensley and Scott Crosbie cen-
tered on the need for change. saying
objective outsiders were best able to
improve the organization.

“Petty office problems and politi-
cal aspirations have gotten in the
way of student services," Crosbie
said.

UK intends to allow
mining of forest area

Associated Press

There is no inconsistency in UK‘s
proceeding with plans to mine a
tract of woodlands after fighting to
block a company from tapping the
area's coal wealth. a school official
said.

UK trustees are expected on April
30 to award leases on millions of
tons of coal in six outlying tracts of
Robinson Forest in Breathitt. Perry
and Knott counties. The move
would open almost 3,700 acres of
woodlands to mining.

Meanwhile, school officials
fought a yearlong battle to block
Arcfi Mineral Corp. from strip-

mining elsewhere in the eastern
Kentucky forest.

But a top UK official recently de—
fended the decision to award the
leases anti said it was not inconsis-
tent wrth the school‘s battle against
Arch.

“It‘s a different issue." said Ed
Carter. UK vice president for man-
agement and budget. “Two totally
different animals.“

UK announced it would open the
outlying tracts to mining last Sep-
tember after a swap with Arch
failed.

The decision should provide UK
with millions of dollars to be used
in and for eastem Kentucky. Under
the terms of the HO. Robinson
Trust, UK must use the money for
agricultural experimental work and
teaching. and for the “practical
demonstration of reforestation."
Robinson, who deeded the forest to
UK in I923. envisioned model
farms. orchards and the teaching of
soil conservation. Carter said what-
ever the moncy is spent on. the em»
phasis should be on forestry and ag-
riculture.

The school is requiring royalties
of $2.50 a ton or 10 percent of the
gross proceeds, whichever is higher.

Carter would not estimate the out-
lying reserves' SlZC. Past estimates
have been 10 million to l6 million
tons. meaning at least $25 million
for UK.

However. companies that win UK
leases would need about a year to
obtain permits and might delay min-
ing until the depressed coal market
improves.

“It will be a while before we get
any proceeds," Carter said

The school. which may reject all
offers. is judging the lease propo-
sals, in part. on Willingness to sup‘
port research at the mining site.

Early last year. Arch filed for a
permit to mine its leased coal at the

senator and SGA committee chair-
person, said only an insider could
bring effective change.

“Our campaign is based on well-
done, rather than well-said, propo-
sals," Collins said.

Keith Clark, a candidate from
Lexington Community College,
said that more needed to be done to
bridge the gap between LCC and
the main campus.

Acting Dean of Students David
Stockham moderated the debate.
Chester Grundy, assistant director
of Minority Student Affairs: Tom
Spalding, Kentucky Kernel editor in
chief; Mark Tackett, chairman of
the Greek Activities Steering Coni-
mittee; and Charlene Walker, an
LCC career personal counselor,
asked questions of the candidates.

The debate, sponsored by the
Greek Political Action Committee,
lasted almost two hours.

Hensley said the reason only 15
percent of students vote in SGA
elections is because “SGA only rep-
resents 15 percent of the campus.“

He said that figure correlates with
the 20 percent of UK students who

 

are greek and that independent stu-
dents are not given the same chance
for involvement in SGA.

Both greek candidates, Crosbie
and Collins, said the answer is re-
cruiting students at the meetings of
other organizations.

Hensley said better advertising is
needed.

Collins received criticism from a
number of candidates about the
SGA Prejudice Reduction Task
Force, which she chairs.

While noble in intent “the preju~
dice reduction program tends to
deal with the aftermath" rather than
the cause, Clark said.

“The time for feel-good task forc-
es is over," Hensley said.

Collins defended the task force,
saying the students involved now
are a “core group" that will expand.

Cultural diversity, an item of dis-
cussion for the task force, was also
addressed in the debate.

Hensley called for an annual cal-
endar of ethnic cultural celebrations
— notjust a month or a day.

Hensley and Crosbie both called
for dead weeks before finals, in
which no classes would be held, ale
lowing students to study more.

Clark argued against dead week,
saying if vacation was what stu~
dents want, they should stay home.

It was the fourth annual GPAC

SGA Candidates Platforms

 

 

Stop days, pub head
Hensley-Saffer goals

By KYLE FOSTER
Senior Staff Writer

Student Government Association
presidential candidate Byl Hensley
and his running mate, Jen Saffer,
have talked about improving UK
throughout their campaign, but their
focus is on change in SGA.

”The Student Government Asso-
ciation must become a representa-
tive catalyst for positive change,
making this campus one that acts on
the values of student convenience,

‘academic and civic achievement.

and mutual student cooperation" -~
statement of purpose from the Hen-
sley/ Saffer platform.

“I plan to change SGA and turn it
into what it's supposed to be, a ser-
vice, a voice to and for students,"
Hensley said.

Hensley said that it is the respon~
sibility of SGA to advocate policy
changes which would result in in
creased services for students. Some
of the services the Hensley/Salter
platform address are magnetic
stripes for ID. cards, telephone reg»
istration, a campus pub, stop days,
extended library hours, wheelchair
accessibility for all UK facilities,
and the establishment of a separate

College.

“The platform comes forth from
comments made to us by stu-
dents,"said Saffcr, a political sci-
ence sophomore.

Hensley said he conducted a sur-
vey of UK's benchmark institutions
(land grant schools that are approxi-
mately the same Sl/.C as UK, in the
same geographical area) to see what
other schools like UK were doing
with technology.

Magnetic Stripes For ID. cards

Hensley said that by adhering a
magnetic stripe to the student l.[).,
all of UK‘s benchmark institutions
have consolidated such services as
library borrowing, entry to campus
activities, and food services, into
one card.

He proposes other possible appli—
cations for UK: the use of the card
as a debit card for campus sales: use
as an access card to residence halls,
library facilities, and academic labs

after hours.

“Other schools have them. UK is
just behind the times once again."
Hensley said.

This idea is not entirely new to
UK. Hensley said he spoke with
Paul Willis, director of M.l. King
Library, about the feasibility of the
card for access to the library after
hours. Willis said the plans for the
new library included using a mag-
netic strip card for library access.

Campus Pub

Hensley/Salter claim that offi-
cials within the Student Center have
discussed establishing a campus
pub within the center a pub that
would not serve alcohol because of
UK's non-alcohol policy. l‘lensley/
Saffer propose that SGA investigate
the possibility of having the campus
pub run by an independent business
leasing a space within the student
center.

“It‘s just as feasible to lease out
space at the student center to an en-
tity with the potential to obtain a
liquor license as it is to allow frater.
nities to serve beer," Hensley said.

Hensley/Saffer did not mention in
the platform any of UK‘s bench-
mark schools that have a campus
pub.

Hensley said he spoke wrth sever-
al UK officials including Frank Har-
ris, student center director, about
the feasibility of a campus pub.

“I don’t know anything about it,"
Harris said when asked about lien—
sley‘s proposal.

Stop Days

Hensley/Suffer propose the adth
tion of two weekdays without class
before finals week. During these
two days, faculty would be availa‘
ble for consultation, library hours
would be extended. campus activi—
ties would be minimal. According
to the platform, three of UK's
benchmark institutions, Tennessee,
Missouri, and Virginia, have “stop
days."
