19 ' Chancellor finalists to visit campu

)5

By Jennifer Smith

(.tmtplu Iletor

The five finalists in the chancellor
for the Lexington Catnpus search will
be makin r appearances on campus in
the next t ree weeks.

The candidates are scheduled to
meet with several campus interest
groups, including deans, faculty schol—
ars, departtnent chairs, the presidents'
and chancellors' staffs, the University
Senate Council and a student group.

Robert Lawson, an assistant to UK
President Charles \Vethington in the
chancellor search, said there has also
been a time set aside for all people on
campus to meet with and question the
five candidates.

“\Ve’re hoping we can get a good
number of reople to turn out and
meet each of the candidates," Lawson
said. “It will give (students. staff and
faculty) a chance to get familiar with
the candidates."

“'ethington said the position
should be important to everyone on
campus because he looks to the chain
cellor as an outlet and a resource for
students and faculty.

Earth Day events

By Joe Godbey

Earth Day UK has gone conservative.
"\ ou don‘t have to go to radical ends to achieve
common sense goals," said David Saiiiford, presi—

dent ofthe UK College Republicans.

The UK College Republicans and several orga—
nizations from the College of Agriculture are spon~
soring this years Earth Day. Booths will be set up

around campus tomorrow and Friday.

“\\'e are going to divide up the booths, and we
are going to have the same thing at every table,"

Samford said.

Although the College Republicans “tree hug-
ging" event last year sparked some controversy
during last year's Earth Day festivities, the 1995

event could actually be less heated.

“Ifthcre is a great demand for a tree hug, we can
look into it," said Samford. Otherwise, it's strictly
information booths and an old-fashioned barbecue.

While the Sierra club and Students Against Vio—

the candidates," \Vethington said.

“I‘d like the reception to serve as a
way for the candidates to be exposed
to a broad range of the campus as
well."

People who attend the reception
will not have a formal say in the search
process, however. Lawson said inter—
ested parties should speak to a search
committee member and voice opin—
ions on the candidates.

“There are lots of committee
members around," he said. “People
who want a direct say in the process
can pass information through their
committee members."

Mary Burg, assistant to the chan—
cellor, said it is important for students
especially to cotiie out and meet their
possible future chancellor. She said
the candidates are excited about coni—
ing to campus and meeting as many
people as possible.

The chancellor for the Lexington
Campus manages [1 academic col-
leges and 35 departments with more
than 20,000 students, 1,025 faculty
members and 3,950 employees.

“\Vhat we really want to encourage
is for anyone and everyone to come
out and meet these candidates," Burg

said.

“(The finalists) are meeting with .i I i

wide range of groups on campus, but
these receptions are a way for people
who are not on one of those groups to
come out and see who their next chan-
cellor might be."

:\t the first reception tomorrow,
finalist Richard Edwards, dean of the
College of Arts and Sciences, will be t
in 230 Student Center from Till—o

By Jason Dattilo
Arrirmnt Sports Editor

The s eculation and the waitin are
over. Highly-touted swingman Ron Nfizrcer
of Oak Hill (Va) Academy has finally
decided where he will play his college bas-
ketball.

And the winner is: UK.

Mercer, who recently won the Naismith
Award as the nation’s top high school bas-
ketball player, is expected to sign with the
Wildcats, according to a story in yester—
day's Nashville Banner. Mercer was appar-
ently considerin a news conference but
apparently decitfed against it. Oak Hill
coach Steve Smith said yesterday Mercer
will sign the papers when they arrive.

“Both Kentucky and Tennessee are great
schools with a lot to offer,” Mercer told the

g I

Banner Monday night by telephone.

Mercer's announcement ends a lengthy
recruiting battle between UK and the Ten-
nessee Volunteers, who many experts
thought was the front runner. Mercer was
also reportedly considering Arkansas, Van<
derbilt and Miami.

“I’m very relieved that I can now go on
with my life and be happy about my deci<
sion," Mercer told the raper. “It was a
tough decision, and one that I changed my
mind about hundreds of times.

“When I started thinkinr again about
my decision to go to Kentucky after taking
time off, it was still Kentucky."

One such expert surprised at the 6-foot-1
7 forward's decision was recniiting gum
Bob Gibbons.

“Most people that were monitoring the
situation thought he was going to Ten~

I

  

nessee, "he said.

The Vols were widely believed to be
Mercer‘s top choice, because the star would
be guaranteed immediate playin r time and
be counted on to contribute as a fi-eshman.
But apparently this was just what Mer~
cer, a McDonald's Ameri-
can, didn't want.

“Going to Kentucky
takes a lot pressure off me,
especially early in my col—
le e career,” said Mercer,
w o scored 3,373 points
and grabbed 1,246
rebounds during his prep
career, which included
three years at (iood Pasture High School in
his native Nashville and one at Oak Hill.

If Mercer does indeed sign with UK. the
\Vildcats will be brimming with talent in

Mercer

.t

the frontcourt providing su iport to Mer—
cer, who will need time. to adjust to college
hoops. But with so many quality players
will Coach Rick Pitino have problems find—
ing minutes?

“I think Coach Pitino is going to have
some problems — well not problems really
_, keeping everybody ha p a” Gibbons
said. “It's going to be crow ed, but its bet-
ter to have talent than not to have it."

Btit Gibbons speculated other factors
helped the \Vildcats. Two weeks ago, Piti-
no and assistant coach Delray Brooks went
to Mouth of “'ilson, Va, to visit Mercer,
who had cancelled his official visit to Lex—
ington. for UK's game with LSU.

“I think when Coach Pitino went to visit
(Mercer) at Oak Hill that was very impor—
tant," Gibbons said.

A conference called “Come

tomorrow on campus wil be the
first meeting of I es/Bi/(iay stu~

Alari-a l’rice, rural coordinator
for fairness of Kentucky, will be a
featured speaker

I In I exington lavette L rban
( ounty health department liaison
between the gay male and bisexual
community, Stephen \A'hite, will
also speak.

“The speakers are not the most
important thing," said julien
Aleksindres an interior design
sophomore. “It is a chance for
student groups to meet ,get to

know each other and create a
coalition for mutual support."

The largely campus conference
will serve as an important net—
working device, Aleksandres said.

“L'K I ambda is the most suc-
cessftil (lesbig ay organization) in
the state Aleksandres said. (Ihe
L iiiversity of I ouisville s) group,

(ylobal has broken apart, so this
meeting will help student groups
learn what to do and what not to
do."

Aleksandres said the student
organizations will prepare to com-
fiat amendments that could
restrict gioups like LK Lambda
from using the Student ( enter for
meetings Right now there are
more 1e rislative amendments to
ban sotfbmy than ever before,
Aleksandres said.

UK Lambda has weekly meet-
ings with speakers such as couples
who talk about relationships,
organization leaders and police
officers who teach about safety.
There is no membership policy
and meetings are free and open to
the public. There have been dif-
ferent Les/Bi/(iay organizations
at UK since 1974.

The conference will start
tomorrow at 7:30 p.m. in the Stue
dent Center. Conference mem»
bers should begin arriving at the
Student Center around 6:30 p.m..
Aleksandres said, to become
acquainted before business starts.

“(‘Come Together Kentucky")
is to help us learn how to be posi-
tive role models in the Les/Bi/Gay
population and in the communi-
ty." Aleksandres said.

Rural health GBIIIGI‘S have IBStIVflI

By Alison Kight
.Slilfl II I‘llt'r

Kentucky's Area Health l‘ldu—
cation Centers held a Spring hes»
tival yesterday afternoon for stu—
dents iiear the L'K Alarkey Cancer
Center,

The festival was for students
involved in any of five colleges at
L'K and the L'niversity of
Louisville. allied health, dentistry,
medicine, nursing and pharmacy.

“(The festival) gives students
an opporttiriity to come in frotn
across all regional areas and obtain
information," said Alae Marie
(Juan, AHIiC associate program
director.

“Most have to do clinical rota—
tions, so this is a good way for
them to find ways to do that."

Students involied in any of
these health professional pro—
grams had chance to receive

information about opportunities
to fulfill clinical rotation require—
ments in rural areas of Kentucky.

Representatives from AHEC's
regional centers were present at
the festival to answer questions
any students had about programs
in their areas.

More than 1500 students take
part in clinical rotations in rural
Kentucky areas, including 1,000
UK students and 500 students
from U of L.

“Clinical
important part of these colleges,’
()uan said.

“If, say, a student goes to Floyd
( otinty to do a rotation for four
weeks, AHE( . sees that they re
taken care of."

Quart said AHI'X: helped with
such things as finding housing,
adequate library resources and
recreational activities for students.

“\Ve don't just send students

rotations are an

7

out to unfamiliar areas," she said.
“\V'e support them, too."

UK student Eric Lohman said
he thought the festival was espe—
cially good for third—year medical
students, because that is the year
clinical rotations are fulfilled.

“I'm a first—year (medical) stu-
dent," Lohinan said. “So I'm
learning more about the rotations
and what they’re all about here "

I ohinan said rotations provid—
ed valuable learning experience
for students.

“I think (rotations) are helpful
in finding out whether or not
you’re interested in rural health
care," Lohman said. “I think that’s
the reason they have them."

Quan said she thought AHEC
provided a valuable service for
students and the community.

“AI II‘ZC really gives the univer—
sities and the community a way to
get together," Quan said.
