Students’ problems
to be seminar topic

By TIM JOHNSON
Staff Writer

Because problems with
relationships. stress and selfcsteem
are common among students, a life
enrichment seminar will be pre-
sented tonight through Wednesday
to help students deal with university
life. according to Craig Culbertson.
campus minister for the Southside
Church of Christ.

Terry Smith, a full~time counselor.
will speak on different topics con-
cerning these problems from 7:30 to
9 pm. tonight in 230 Student Center.
7:30 to 9 pm. tomorrow in 206 Stu-
dent Center. and from 7:30 to 8:30
pm. on Wednesday at the Southside
Church of Christ on Nicholasville
Road.

The seminar is based on the
theme “Running to Win in
Relationships." and explores how
students can cope with the problems
which are common to young people
who are dating and going to school.
said Culbertson. who is coordinating
the sessions

“Running to Win in Relationships"
is derived from a verse in the Bible
stating that one should run to win in
life. according to Culbertson. "When
someone runs in a race. they run to
win.” he said. “This seminar will
try to get people to put life in the
same perspective as a race. They
should run to win in life instead of
succumbing to failure.

“Terry is the sort of person who
can communicate ideas to students
which are especially hard to com-
municate." he said. ”That‘s why we
think that this seminar will benefit
everyone who attends.

“We have organized this seminar
so that anyone can come and get
something out of it.“ he said. “It
isn't geared to any one denomina-
tion. It is geared to anyone with
problems dealing with stress. their
dating relationships and their self-
esteem."

Culbertson said this was the first
seminar sponsored by the Southside
Church of Christ. but he hopes to
have something like this every fall.
"I‘m not sure what to expect in at-
tendance. but I would be pleased if
200 or 300 people show up for every
session."

“1 have never heard him speak.
but I have heard some excellent
things about him.“ said Sandra Wil-
liamson. a t'ii‘st»year graduate stu-
dent involved with the seminar. “He
is into positive selfcsteem and he
gives you some good thoughts to
think about That‘s important
around finals week."

Smith is a Christian counselor at
the Southside (‘hurch of Christ in
Burlington. Mass. He also has
served as campus minister to Alem-
phis State t'niversity and Harding
t'niversity for a total of ten years

Equine center financer,

Maxwell H.

By Tl.\l JOHNSON
Staff Writer

Maxwell H. (iluck. who donated $3
million to UK for an equine research
center. died Wednesday night in Los
Angeles at the age of 88.

"All of us were very saddened by
his death. but we will remember the
important step he took for UK to
help make an excellent program
into the best in the world." said
Robert Babbage. assistant to Presi-
dent ()tis A. Singletary.

Gluck. who had been hospitalized
since Nov. 5. was known for his love
and interest in horse racing and
breeding. He was also the owner of
Elmendorf Farm in Fayette County.
which he bought in 1952.

“He operated one of the outstand-
ing horse farms in the country and
he was recognized as a leader in the
thoroughbred industry." said Art
Gallaher. chancellor for the Lexing-
ton campus.

“The $3 million he donated to UK
was the single largest donation by
any individual in UK history." Gal-
laher said.

Babbage said the gift has already
been approved by the state and the
ground-breaking ceremonies should
take place in the spring of next year

Gluck, dies

with the completion date tentatively
set for the latter part of 1986.

“After the research center is coni-
pleted. there will be nothing like it
anywhere in the world.” he said. "It
is a very 'appropriate tribute to
name the research center after a
leader in the industry and a very
generous person. ”

The Maxwell H, (iluck Equine Re-
search (‘enter will be located on
Nicholasy‘ille Road in front of the
ES. Good Barn The Center will
provide more space and better fa-
cilities to produce higher quality re.
search for the horse industry.
according to (‘harles Barnhart. dean
of the College of Agriculture.

Barnhart. who will be in charge of
the center. said. "This gift was of
significant value to the horse indus»
try. We have been limited because
of crowded conditions. but now with
the center. we will have room to ex-
pand in all areas of research,"

Gluck was a New York business-
man before becoming involved in
the horse industry in 1948. He won
numerous awards including the
P AB Widener Award in 1973 as the
leading breeder of the year and the
Eclipse Award as the top thorough-
bred owner of' 1977

Although there is no consensus
among researchers as to the actual
cause of an earthquake. it is known
that they originate within the crust
oi the earth. The earth's crust is a
heterogeneous material -. "There's

are a lot of explanations as to the
cause of earthquakes

Street said "there are literally
faults everywhere.” which have ei-
ther caused or been caused by
earthquakes He said the one impor-

are active and which are inactive.

He said the faults in western Ken-
tucky are not visible because they
have been filled in over the years by
things like settlement and flooding

Street said his research. for the
most part. involves “looking at deep
crustal structure ” He said to under-
stand earthquakes "we have to un
derstand the environment in which

Ma Bell — also known as the
American Telephone and Telegraph
(‘o. w has demonstrated a bit oi
motherly love toward UK by giving
the University $1.1 million worth of
“state-of-the-art” computing equip-
ment.

The donation. announced last
week at a press conference. is part
of a nationwide program through
which AT&T is giving about $32 mil-
lion worth of computing equipment

to 1.3 colleges and universities across
the country.

The equipment. described by
AT&T of'f'icials as "our most recent
processing line.” will be used by the
t'ollege of Engineering for both tea-
ching and research.

Franklin T. Julian. the corpora-
tion‘s regional vice president. said
the main asset of the new equipment
is that it “supports multiple users.”

()lder computer systems have
been limited in the number of people
that could use them at one time. he
said. but up to 100 people can use
the new equipment simultaneously.

He said he was doubly pleased
over the donation. “not Just because
it's needed and useful. but also be-

Patent attainment a long procedure
for University research community

By ERIK K1RK|10RN

A patent. as described by the
Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dic-
tionary. is a "writing securing to an
inventor for a term of years the ex-
clisive right to make. use. or sell
his invention.“

UK developed its first patent poli-
cy along these lines in June of 1947
and since then. 362 inventions have
been proposed. Proposals are re-
viewed by the UK patent committee.
formed a few montls after the poli-
cy. which decides if those inventions
have some commercial [5%.

The Board of Trustees and the UK
Research Foundation Board of Di-
rectors adopted a specific founda-
tion for any UK marchers, includ-

ing students. who think they have a
patentable creation.

James McDonald, executive direc-
tor of the UKRF. has been at UK
since 1966 and became director in
1968. He said that aside from being
involved with patent applications.
the UKRF “is really the administra-
tive arm of the University as far as
dealing with the management of
contracts and grants.“

McDonald. the ex-officio member
of the patent committee, said that
the number of faculty members or
students receiving patents varies
from year to year.

”For every 10 inventions the com.
mittee receives for review, seven or
eight will reach the Research Foun-
dation for patenting consideration.
Most of these will eventually get a

patent — probably five or six will."
he said. “And one of these will get
licensed."

"A patent sitting in someone's
desk is not very meful. A licensed
patent is one from which an inventor
can derive income. It has been sold
to some company and is on the mar-
ket for use outside of the Universi~
ty."hesaid.

The process of receiving a patent
can be a long one. McDonald said.
sometimes taking up to several
years. “One year. there might be

might be eight." he said. “We llllll-
ly have at least one licensed patent

Kentucky. and in our own future."
Julian said He pointed out that
AT&T relies on universities to sup-
ply its work force of researchers
and engineers

Training on stateof-the-art equip-
ment makes that work force better
prepared. he said

Singletary agreed that the equip-
ment is indeed modern “This is not
one of those things where people are
giving you some old stuff they
have.”
