Forum will

lllf women

By Brenna Reilly
Smfl~ H Inter

Three women employees will

One woman from the Lexing—
ton Campus, one from the Chan—
dler Medical Center and one from
the Community College System

Penny .\1iller, Ii political sci—
ence professor and chairwoman of
the Kentucky Commission on
\Vomen, will speak about the role
of women in Kentucky politics
since suffrage.

“It is extremely important since
women make up majority of the
population and since women make
make up a majority of the elec—
torate, they need to play a larger
role in local, state and national
government," Miller said.

The speech will last about 15
minutes and feature those who
have been role models for women
in Kentucky, Miller said. Featured
women include former (iov.
Martha Layne Collins and Lex-
ington Mayor Pain Miller.

participate in all facets, when
women are involved in making
policies we get better policies,"
Miller said.

Dean of “'omen at UK who
worked for the rights of women in
Kentucky. Holmes raised four
children by herself, after being
widowed at a young age. She com«

The winners are. women who
have promoted the growth and
well‘being of women in the uni-
versity and the state. ()ther crite-
ria include overcoming obstacles
and providing public service.

Any current woman staff or
faculty member was eligible for

FillflliSt Altenkirch has already helped "K change

By Brian Bennett
Iidrtm‘ In Chief

Robert Altenkirch knows a thing or
two about makin changes at UK.

Altenkirch, a finalist for the Lexings
ton Campus chancellor’s position,
spent 13 years in UK’s mechanical
engineering department. In the early
19805. Altenkirch was chairman of the
Committee on Admissions and Aca-
demic Standards.

That committee was responsible for
implementing UK's selective admis-
sions policy Up until then, the Uni<
versity accepted all high sc hiiol gradu—
ates. For two years, Altenkirch and
other committee members debated the
project across campus to come up with
the best criteria. In the fall of 1984. the
selective admissions policy began.

Not only did the change in admis—

\‘

sions standards help UK improve its
academic quality, it also helped
Altenkirch find his calling in life.

“It made me realize that I liked
being in an administrative position
where I could help
move things along and
get things done,”
Altenkirch said.

just a few years
later, Altenkirch had
the opportunity to put
that into practice when
he was named dean of
the college of engi- “tanking“
neering at Mississippi
State University a post he still holds.
Since he began at MSU, the research
program has almost tripled, he said.

Research always has been a strong
suit for the 46—year-old St. Louis
native. Among his research accom-

 

plishtnents are several grants from
NASA, including a project that result—
ed in the first combustion experiment
flown on the space shuttle.

Research never took up all of his
time, however. Altenkirch was heavily
involved in the University Senate here
and is a former Senate Council chair~
man. He also still teaches.

His research anti hard work in the
University Senate impressed his UK
colleagues.

“He has great experience, a lot of
energy Iind is an extremely hard work
guy, said Ray Bowen dean of the UK
( ollege ofI ngineering from 1983- 8‘)
and current president of Texas A 8: M
L niversity. “He's very much a broad
citizen ofthe univ ersitv

Although Altenkirch has worked his
entire academic career in mechanical
engineering, he doesn‘t foresee any

problems adjusting to a chancellor‘s
role, where many different depart-
ments and colleges czori pete for inte r-
est.

I didn't have any problem adjust-
ing to workin with a much broader
spectrum on t e selective admissions
policy,“ he said. “I'm very interested in
working with people with different
backgrounds and different points of
View and putting ey erything together.

“It s kind of like problem— solving.
And engineers are good at solving
problems.“
