Revision of Party Plan now likely

By Cara Blevins
m: xcmucxv mm

The current Lexington Area
Party Plan may be nearing the end
of its celebration.

The Town and Gown Commis-
sion met yesterday to discuss the
plan and decided to review it before
its next meeting, with the goal of
making changes to the city ordi-
nance.

After an hour-long and often

heated discussion. commission
members were handed copies of
the ordinance and will add their
own revisions and discuss them at
the next meeting. Regardless of
personal feelings, everyone in atten-
dance agreed that notification of
the Party Plan needed revision.
“We will take your suggestions
on what you wanted changed and
next meeting form a model of what
we need to do." said Ken Clevi-
dence, UK’s director of public safe-

ty, who is also involved with the
Town and Gown Commission.

The Party Plan. which has been
in effect since 2001. is intended to
curb out-of-control parties.

“A party is not illegal." Clevi-
dence said. “But the disturbance
is.”

Copies of the ordinance were
passed out for people at the meeting
to take and commission members
will return next week with suggest-
ed revisions in mind.

One of the major issues brought
up was notification about which
properties had been cited for violat-
ing the ordinance.

“I didn't know I had a strike on
one of my properties,” said Craig
Hardin. a Lexington area landlord.
“I had to ﬁle an open records re-
quest to ﬁnd out about the calls on
the speciﬁc property”

Hardin said he feels that while a
landlord has a personal responsibil-
ity. he can’t be the police because it

should be expected that a resident
will obey the law. He also suggested
imposing stiffer fines on violators
as a way to combat the lack of grav-
ity sometimes associated with the
Party Plan.

Janice Gilbert, UK alumna and
resident in the Tates Creek neigh-
borhood, expressed concern about
the growing number of college stu-
dents becoming her neighbors.

WORKFORCE DIVERSITY DAY

Members of a diversity forum in the workplace prepared to speak at Workforce Diversity Day yesterday at the James Stuckert Career Center. UK's first Workforce
Diversity Day met with success from administrators, students, prospective employers and organizers.

Diversity goes to work

Students, employers and organizers praise first Workforce Diversity Day

By Jenisha Watts
m: KENTUCKY KERNEL

The first Workforce Diversi-
ty Day in UK history was held
yesterday at the James W. Stuck-
ert Career Center on Rose
Street. with employers. students
and organizers calling it a suc-
cess.

“It’s been a need. because
employers ask how do they re-
cruit multicultural students and
minority students and alumni."
said Sue H. Strup, director of
experiential education and ca-
reer services.

The admission for UK stu-
dents. alumni and faculty was
free with advance registration
and admission for employers
was $25 per company. Strup said
this was perfect for diversity be-
cause it relates to part of Presi-

dent Lee Todd's initiative on di-
versity. She said the university
also paid to be part of a national
“webinar‘” a live. over-the-In-
ternet seminar ~ led by Steve
Pollock. president of Wetfeet
Inc.. a national job recruitment
company.

“Employers want to hire a
diverse workforce that brings
in (different) races and gen-
ders.“ said Strup. “We‘re bring-
ing employers to meet our stu-
dents.“

Some administrators at UK
were moved by the similarities
between workforce diversity is-
sues and UK‘s diversity issues.

“I sat through the webinar
and I was really shocked with
how similar issues employers
face and the issues the univer-
sity face with respect to diver-

sity," said Phil Kraemer. associ-
ate provost for undergraduate
education.

Kraemer said that given the
chance to think about the two is-
sues, he realizes he shouldn't be
so surprised.

“When you do think about it.
it‘s a social-cultural issue. pretty
broad and deep." he said.

Kraemer said he also feels
diversity on campus is a good
thing on both sides of the spec-
trum.

“I think for education. diver-
sity provides academic capi-
tal," he said. “It allows universi-
ties to produce social capital."

Students said the universi-
ty‘s recent attention to diversity
is well deserved.

“Diversity is becoming a ma-
jor issue in the United States be-

cause of recent events that have
occurred." said Clinton Carter.
an agricultural economics se-
nior. “Concerning different eth-
nicities. it's come in the lime-
light now."

“If you don't hire diversity
you will run into hiring people
that have the same ideas and
views on things with diversity."
said Mike Hammond. a group
recruiter for Enterprise Rent-A-
Car. “You have to diversify with
fresh ideas and fresh perspec»
tives."

Carter also explained how
he felt the career center is man-
aged with students' best inter
ests in mind.

“It helps getting in touch
with people that l have been try-
ing to get an internship with."

New technology helps doctors look inside

“It’s a great product that is

By Shannon Mason
m: KENTUCKY KERWEL

Sometimes being able to see
through the human body is an
asset, and UK physicians now
have a new tool which can do
just that.

The UK Chandler Medical
Center hosted an open house
last Friday for the arrival of
the university’s first Positron-
Emission Tomography/Com-
puted Tomography scanner.

“It was the third Friday on
site, but last Friday was the ofﬁ-
cial kickoff." said Sheryl Aber-

crombie. service director of di-
agnostic radiology

The scanner uses tw0 differ-
ent scanning techniques, much
like an X-ray does. to look in-
side a patient and try to ﬁnd ab-
normalities. The combination
of a PET scan and a CT scan is
efﬁcient at detecting some types
of cancer that are too subtle to
be detected otherwise. Aber-
crombie said.

Abercrombie said the
PET/CT scan has also been suc-
cessful in detecting Alzheimer’s

disease, but is most notable in
detecting cancer or the recur-
rence of cancer.

Abercrombie compared a
CT scan to slicing a tomato.
When a tomato is sliced. all of
its parts are exposed. Aber-
crombie said a CT scan allows
doctors to see a patient’s cross-
sectional anatomy and to see
the internal organs in detail.

Abercrombie said. “It‘s almost
a fuel for cancer cells; it takes
up in them quickly"

The pathologies that have
absorbed the isotope show up in
the PET scan and appear to be
brighter than normal tissue in
the image.

Abercrombie said the com-
bination of the PET and CT
scans allows doctors to identify
a pathology (from the PET
scan) and see a frame of refer-

Governor's budget proposal draws
mixed reactions from UK leaders

By Darlush Shala
.. THE kENiu—ckvktimtt

Several ‘UK administrators ﬁnd them-
selves playing the waiting game again. this
time waiting on the Kentucky General As-
sembly’s decision on whether or not to pass
Gov Ernie Fletcher's budget.

Fletcher. who. spoke Tuesday night. gave
good news to some PK administrators with
his move to fund two capital projects the
new medical center bed tower and a bio
pharmacy complex. ()ther officials didn‘t get
that same good news because Fletcher's bud-
get did not provide UK with requested funds
to support the Top 20 Business Plan.

But the budget still must make it through
the state legislature before it becomes reality

“This is not a done deal." said Kenneth
Roberts. dean of the College of Pharmacy.

Fletcher's budget favors UK in capital
projects. with 876 million going to the bio»
pharmacy complex and
$130 million going to
fund the new bed tower
addition to the medical
center. But the plan
will fall short of the
$14 million recom-
mended by the Council
on Postsecondary Edu-
cation and even short-
er of the original 318
million UK requested.

But UK administra»
tors say they aren‘t give
ing up.

”This is just the be-
ginning of the
process.” said Angie Martin. \‘lt'i‘ president
for planning. budget and policr "We are go-
ing to continue to press our lit-eds "

Martin said the main thrust of their air
gument to the legislature will be the de-
mands placed upon UK by House lhll l of
1997. which mandates that UK become a top-
20 research institution by the year 2020. The
ﬁscal needs for this were laid out by Presi»
dent Lee Todd in December with his Top 20
Business Plan.

“We have laid out the resources we need
in our Top 20 Business Plan to improve the
lives of Kentuckians. and we need to start
implementing the plan next year. the fiscal
year of ‘07." Martin said. “in our plan we‘ve
tried to lay out not only the investment need-
ed. but also the reward."

Martin also said UK will move ahead for
the time being and is sticking to the plan.
which if successful would double the num-
ber of degrees UK awards by 2020. Doubling
the number of degrees awarded is expected
to positively influence the state’s economy.
among other things.

“We‘re going to stay the course on the
Top 20 Business Plan.“ Martin said. "Our
budget next year will reflect the investment
needed to move us forward."

Meanwhile. Roberts and Michael Karpf.
executive vice president for health affairs.
are glad their projects are being supported.

According to Roberts. last year between
70 to 80 pharmacists from out of state took
jobs in Kentucky. while his college had to
turn down 300 in-state students because of
lack of space.

“Isn’t it a shame? Those could have been
Kentucky's boys and girls.” Roberts said of
the jobs. “It’s not because we don't want to
(admit them) but because we haven't had the

“There are many students whose par-
ents buy them a house in my neighbor-
hood and I‘ve seen parking problems and
an increase in trash throughout the
neighborhood," said Gilbert.

But Councilmember Richard
Moloney, who represents the 11th Dis-
trict, wanted to reiterate that the Party
Plan is not centralized around UK.

“I want everyone to know that this is

just not about UK,” Moloney said. “Many
of my constituents are Hispanic and they
also fall under the Party Plan‘s jurisdic-
tion."

Some students were also on hand and
voiced their opinions.

UK student Keith Brooks felt seeing
the party plan in writing might give more
students incentive to follow it closely.

“Why not have a copy of the ordinance
with the lease?" Brooks asked. “Then stu-
dents could see what it says and how it cor—
relates with their lease.”

Dick DeCamp, councilmember of the
3rd District, represents the neighborhoods
bordering UK and said he's seen a transfor-

mation since the Party Plan was imple-
mented for himself and his constituents,
making it largely a success in his mind
and in the minds of others.

“I’ve lived with students in my neigh-
borhood and they are welcome as long as
they don’t disturb others,” DeCamp said.
“Parties are assemblies, which are a
right that everyone has as long as they
don’t break the law. If students are being
smart about it then the Party Plan has
been a success.”

room to do the job.“

The new bio~pharmacy complex will
mean an increased capacity for pharma-
cy students, with enough room for an an-
nual class size of between 180 and 200.
Roberts said.

“The beneﬁt to the university is that
it's in a much better position to serve the
entire state of Kentucky because we are
the only college of pharmacy in the
state," Roberts said. “It will also increase
our capacity for research capabilities."

The medical center’s bed tower also
got support, with $130 million out of the
requested $150 million to the capital pro
ject.

“We‘re pleased that we're most of the
way there." Karpf said, adding he‘s still

hoping for 100 percent of the requested
funds.

“Getting a ﬁrst-class medical facility
will help the university not only clinically,
but (also) with research,” he said.

Karpf’s attitude in the wake of Fletch-
er’s budget speech is one that several of
UK’s administrators have or are trying to
have.

“I‘m optimistic,” he said.

Abercrombie said. UK's medical cen~

scanner. PET/ CT scanners cost “a cou-
ple million dollars," Abercrombie said.
She said a tractor-trailer from DRS
comes to the hospital on Thursday
nights to set up the unit and get it con-
nected with the hospital's infrastruc-
ture.
“And then the patients come in on
Friday morning," she said.
Abercrombie said a PET/CT scan
takes about 90 minutes. The patient is
given the glucose-based isotope and is
asked to sit quietly in a room for about
an hour. she said. This allows the pa-
tient to have time to relax and gives the
material time to move through the body.
“It gives it time to be where it needs
to be." Abercrombie said.

She said the imaging part of the pro
cedure takes about 30 minutes and the
cost of the PET/ CT scan can range from
$3,000 to $4.000.

Abercrombie said 11 patients have
been screened for the scan, but only ﬁve
of those have had it done. The others
have either found out that the scan
would not be as helpful to them or their
insurance companies would not cover
the cost, and they have opted not to have
the procedure done, Abercrombie said.

Abercrombie advises those who
think they may need a PET/ CT scan to
confer with their primary care physi-
cian to see if the scan is right for them.

Another company in attendance was

The workforce is also changing.

“Fifty years ago the face of the work-

Dynasty continues dominance

UK cheerleaders perform on the sidelines during a UK football game against Vanderbilt on Nov. 12 In Nashville, Tenn. The team won its 15th Universal
Cheer Association National Championship- its third In a row and Ilth In the past 12 years— last weekend In Orlando, Fla.

By Eric Lindsey
THE KENTUCKY KERNEL

One word seems to best
describe the recent success
of the UK cheerleading
team: Domination.

For a record-setting 15th
time. UK’s cheerleaders won
the Universal Cheer Associa-
tion National Championship
Sunday at Disney‘s Wide
World of Sports in Orlando.
Fla. It‘s their third title in a
row and the 11th in 12 years.

“It never gets old." said
head coach Jomo Thompson.

"I think winning is the
reason we all came here.“
Dupree said. “We expect to
win year in and year out and
so far we‘ve continued to do
that."

The secrets to the Cats‘
unmatched success since
1985 are recruiting and a tra-
dition of excellence. Thomp-
son said.

"Before I was even at
Kentucky. we had a great
tradition of winning.“ he
said. “The backbone that we
stand on is that tradition.

are active in the community
since only a portion of the
time is spent preparing for
the national competition.

“That‘s what a lot of peo-
ple don‘t realize is how
much our team does.“
Thompson said. “Not only
do we prepare for the compe-
tition. but we also cheer at
most of the events. like bas-
ketball and football and vol-
leyball and more.“

Those recruits had to
prove themselves more than
ever in a season that was

“Every year we start the
process new. We recruit
(and) we train and set forth
on our goal which. of
course. is to win another na-
tional championship."

That goal has become a
yearly expectation for junior
Kelly Dupree. who said win-
ning has become addictive
for her.

selves."

and with that. we get the
best-of-the-best recruits to
come here and prove them-

Thompson‘s recruiting is
a big reason why the Cats
continue to rake in national
titles year after year. Thomp-
son said he looks for re-
cruits who are not only gift-
ed athletically. but who also

riddled with injuries.

After suffering no major
injuries last year. the Cats
had to overcome many this
season. forcing the team to
compete with seven cheer-
leaders without experience
at an elite level.

Despite the bad string of
luck. the Cats were still able
to pull through in a year

that Thompson calls one of
his most special.

“We just refuse to settle
for anything short of the
best." Thompson said.‘ “I
think that’s what makes us
so special is that when we do
fall short. we pick ourselves
up and work even harder
and come back better the
next year. We just refuse to
give in to pressure."

The Cats‘ success comes
as no surprise to the team
because of the talent level
and depth they enjoy.

Dupree said they look at
the national competition as
a battle against themselves
rather than a contest against
all other squads.

"We‘re not trying to be
cocky." Dupree said. “But we
just know we‘re the best."

Cats adjust to new
role as favorites

By Chris DeLotell

THE KENTUCKY KERNEL

On the heels of a four-
game winning streak and the
program‘s first Southeastern
Conference road win in nearly
two years. the UK Women‘s
basketball team has new
theme entering tonight‘s game
against Auburn at? at Rupp
Arena.

“Fear no one. but respect
everyone.“ sophomore center
Sarah Elliott said. as the team
stressed the need to avoid
overconfidence after back-to-
back road wins at No. 25 Flori-
da and Georgia Tech.

Third-year head coach
Mickie DeMoss. who has the
Cats (13-3. 2-1 Southeastern
Conference) knocking on the
door of the top 25. is guarding
her players against the prob-
lems presented by the team's
recent success.

“If they get big heads now.
I don’t get it." she said. “I’ve
had a lot of teams that had
trouble handling success more
than they did handling losing
because they just don't know
how to handle it. We've just
got to keep doing what we‘ve
been doing well."

One thing the Cats have
been doing well has been re»
bounding. UK has out-re
bounded its opponents in five
consecutive games. Forwards
Jennifer Humphrey and Eleia
Roddy dominated the boards
last week. pulling down 19 and
14. respectively, against Flori-
da. Roddy added 10 points.
recording the third double-
double of her career.

“Eleia does a nice job for
this team." DeMoss said after
the Florida win. “She was able
to catch and ﬁnish in some
post moves. She was awesome
on the glass. She had the attie
tude that ‘this is my rebound
get out of the way.‘ A lot of
her points were from put

backs and finishing around
the basket really well."

Humphrey. Roddy and El
liott may play a big role
tonight for the Cats. as
Auburn (9-8. 0-4 SEC) is strong
in the post. The Tigers are
paced by the SEC blocks
leader. Marita Payne. who av-
erages nearly four rejections
per game. and freshman for»
ward DeWanna Bonner. who
leads the team with almost 13
points per game.

“[Payne’s] timing is really
good on her shot blocking."
DeMoss said. “She has good
size and we are certainly
going to have to be mindful of
turning and shooting right
into her. We're going to have
to protect our shots and go up
strong."

With Auburn in the midst
of a four-game losing streak.
it would be easy for the Cats to
take the Tigers lightly: The
players swore that would not
be the case.

"No matter who we play.
we've got to go out there and
do our best." Elliott said. “We
have a gameplan and we have
to execute it and come out
with a win. If we don‘t respect
[Auburn]. we Won‘t get a win."

DeMoss noted that there is
somewhat of a new attitude
on this team that was not pre-
sent in the past two years.

“There’s a little different
air about them." she said.
“[There's] a sense of pride
that we‘re doing something.
But there‘s such a fine line
with that not affecting your
ego in any way."

Elliott noted that she and
her teammates are prepared
to walk that line.

“We feel like we can ac-
complish things." she said.
“We have to stay focused on
what’s important. We can‘t let
conﬁdence and ego get in the
way of that."

ORU OPINION
Thanks (again)
for nothing, Ernie

Just before the Cats ended their
losing skid on the court, Gov.
Ernie Fletcher presented his bud-
get recommendation to the Ken-
tucky General Assembly on Tues-
day night. His proposal meant an-
other streak likely would continue
~ the fourth straight year with a
double-digit tuition increase for
UK students.

In his speech, Fletcher pro-
posed continued funding for two of
UK‘s biggest capital projects, $76
million going to the new bio-phar-
macy building and $130 million to
the new hospital patient bed tower.

His proposal for funding for UK
and the rest of Kentucky‘s col-
leges, however, fell far short of
what President Lee Todd and the
state’s Council on Postsecondary
Education asked

that UK become a top-20 university
by 2020. the burden of additional
funding will fall on UK students ——
unless Kentucky legislators can
fight for more money for higher
education.

“If we can‘t get a better budget,
it’s going to be very dishearten-
ing,” said State Sen. Ernesto Scor-
sone. “We just have to do better.”

In Kentucky, there are always
tough choices when it comes to
crafting a budget. This state just
cannot have it all. It can’t have low
taxes, cheap tuition and a top~20
public research university. That
just doesn‘t add up.

If Fletcher and Kentucky law-
makers don’t fund higher educa-
tion, especially UK, they cannot
expect such dramatic results to

happen magically.

for.

And that could
be a pain in the
pocketbook for UK
students.

Fletcher com-
mitted $50 million
in general funds
to Kentucky‘s col~
leges over the next
two years i UK
would see $11 mil-
lion, far less than

Since Gov. Fletcher has
decided to underfund
UK's top-20 goal,
higher tuition will be
paying for it instead

With its new
business plan, UK
is serious about
moving forward.
Now, the path
looks a little steep-
er — definitely for
UK students.
They‘ll be the ones
signing the checks
to pay for improve-
ments.

We believe be-

what UK's Top 20
Business Plan called for.

The plan says that if UK were
to stay on pace for top-20 status,
the school needed $18 million in
additional funding to keep a tu-
ition increase to nine percent.

“Frankly, this is an area where
I would like to do more." Fletcher
said.

When running for governor.
Fletcher said he would do more for
higher education in Kentucky. He
hasn't, and if this budget passes, it
means he won‘t be doing anything
anytime soon.

The Kernel endorsed Fletcher
in part because of his promises to
cut waste and funnel the savings
back into higher education: he has
not done that.

Thanks to Kentucky‘s mandate

coming a top-20
university is worth the invest-
ment, up to a point. But merely
wanting it won't make it happen ——
major funding is necessary. Fletch-
er and the legislature can’t’ possi-
bly expect UK to adhere to House
Bill 1 of 1997, which mandated UK
to become a top-20 school by 2020,
if they‘re unwilling to fund the
university as set out by its recent
business plan.

Fletcher‘s proposal continues
to defy his campaign promises of
funding higher education, so stu-
dents should not forget him if
(more like when) their tuition goes
up.
At least we can enjoy that new
downtown arena in Louisville that
Fletcher wants to give $75 million.
if we can afford the trip.
