Plan may move branch libraries

Recent proposal

By Stephen Trlmble
Executive Editor

Statewide attention has sur-
rounded UK’s new effort to find
funds for its new Central and Life
Sciences Library this week.

But now, with the Lexington-
Fayette Urban County Council’s
blessing of UK’s most recent plan,
University officials are plannin
what to do with the mammot
Margaret I. King North and South
library buildings.

Paul Willis, UK’s director of
libraries, said the operative word
for UK’s plans is “consolidate.”

Still looks
at criteria
lor luntling

By Sara Spears
Staff Writer

The Student Government
Association Senate got its first
look at the proposed spending cri-
teria for the 1994-95 school year
last night.

The criteria, which would be
used to help better determine the
worth of certain projects, included
suggested guidelines, such as
requiring an organization seeking
funding to submit a copy of its
1994—95 budget, a summary of
what the group is about, a list of
how man financial requests were
given to GA in the st two years
and a complete brea down of the
money requested.

Also included in the roposal
was the suggestion not to nd any
trips for campus organizations
attending meetings sponsored by
their parent or nizations.

“I feel like ese guidelines are
a good start for committees to fol-
low,” Senate Pro Temp Heather
Hennel said, “but they are not set
in stone."

Each of the three standing Sen-
ate committees was given a copy
of these preliminary guidelines.
The committees then reviewed
the rules and decided where they
thought changes were needed.

T e appropriations and rev-
enue committee, which must
review bills that request funding
before they are presented before
the full Senate, agreed with the
majority of the criteria, except the
provisions against funding confer-
ences.

The committee members said
each re uest should be decided
upon in ividually and that there
should be no set amount of fund-
in .

8Last ni ht, the committee
2 proved a S700 bill, roposed b

raduate School enator e f
Jones, for the Graduate Stu ent
Association to attend a history
conference, said committee chair-
man Greg T. Watkins. The bill
will be resented to the full Senate
on We nesday.

The operations and evaluations
committee, which deals with
internal SGA issues, including the
SGA Bylaws and Constitution,

. and the campus relations commit-

tee, which deals with campus com-
munity issues, agreed with the
‘ of the criteria.

an Altman, secretary of the
operations and evaluations com-
mittee, said his group decided that
requiring organizations to submit
a budget report before receiving
funding may ‘discourage some
smaller organizations from seek-

County Council’s recent endorse-
ment, which means UK could
begin construction sometime in
November and be moved in and
read for occupancy in early 1997.

“ e’ll have quite a bit of con-
solidation with the branches,”
Willis said, regardin the 14 satel-
lite libraries sprea out among
individual colleges across campus.

Those consolidation plans
include moving several fine arts
branches to Kin North, central-
izing the ph ica sciences branch-
es at King outh and placing two
South Campus and one Central
Campus branches into the new
library.

Three branches — the College
of Communications and Informa-
tion Studies Reading Room, and
the education and law libraries -
are expected to remain where they
are.

Willis also said planners had
not yet found a home for the
architecture branch.

The original part of the South
building may also house the Uni-
versity’s special collections and
archives, Willis said.

Of course, all of this shifting
and redirecting will be meanin -
less if UK can't clear its last fun -
raisin hurdle.

U President Charles
Wething‘ton said Tuesda he will
present is complicated nancing
plan to the council in October for
finala proval.

U needs the $41 million
worth of bonds the local govern-
ment would provide, according to
the plan to start the proposed
library’s construction.

Meanwhile, Willis is longing
for the day he and his staff can
0 n the doors of UK’s new
li rary.

“I’m anxious more than any-
thing else to have a facili that
can serve students and aculty
needs,” he said.

m Truce declared
in Northern lreland

BELFAST, Northern Ireland — The IRA
declared a cease-fire yesterday, and Northern Ire-
land now waits to see if the long-sought truce will
hold and brin talks to end a quarter-century of
sectarian bl shed.

The Irish Republican Army’s supporters called
the declaration a historic opportunity for ace in
the British province. But it disappointe British
officials and majority Protestants in Northern Ire-
land who wanted explicit assurances of a perma-
nent truce.

There also are worries about whether Protes-
tant gunmen will hold their fire. Many militant
Protestants fear the British government has made
secret concessions to the IRA to win a peace, and
the extremists could try to provoke renewed IRA
violence by attacking the province’s Roman
Catholic minority.

Some 10,000 US troops will be in a coalition
force supplemented by a few hundred from other

such a large force was to minimize American and
Haitian casualties.

Local band Perfect Circle filled
the Student Center Small Ball-
room with soothing rh ms while
everyone played Blac Diamond
Bingo, an ice-breaking game. In
this ame, faculty and students
couldsonly fill their bin 0 boards
by becoming acquainte with one
another.

Amidst reports that UK lags
behind state-mandated goals for
desegregation, a reception was
held yesterday to introduce new
and old black faculty with first-
year black students.

Lauretta Byars, vice chancellor
for minority affairs, supervised the
fourth annual “Get Acquainted
Reception,” to create an environ-
ment where black faculty and staff
could meet and put names with
faces.

“There is not always opportu-
nities on a big campus to mingle,”
Byars said, “and this helps people
to see UK as a warm, friendly
envtronment.”

The reception or under wa

President Charles Wethington
and Chancellor for the Lexington
Campus Robert Hemenway, who
emphasized UK’s active involve-
ment in making the campus cul-
turall diverse.

erward, new and old faculty
members gave their names and
departments.

Among the new faculty mem-
bers this year are Harriette J.
Arrington, College of Education;
Darlene C. Goring, College of
Law; Keith McElroy, Colle e of
Education; A. Jackson Pin ney,
Colle e of Fine Arts; Marlon Bai-
ley, ollege of Fine Arts; and

  

Retia S. Walker, dean of the Col-
lege of Human Environmental

Sciences.

Representatives from the Black
Student Union and the Student
Activities Board were on hand to
offer information to new students.
T.A. Jones, representing the Stu-
dent Government Association,
was called to the podium, but did

not show up.

Asked why he was not present,
Jones explained that he “had a very

important class.”

McElro , who is from Detroit,

was lease with the reception.

“ his is a fine opportunity for
new people to get to ether and
talk about interests,” e said. “I
think more universities should do

this of thing.”

Mc lroy was attracted to UK
because its College of Education
has one of the largest percenta e
of black faculty members in e

country.

Goring, who said a black pres-
ence on campus is important,
came here because of UK’s high

standards.

“I wanted to come to a school
that's committed to academic
excellence, and I found that at

UK,” Goring said.

Convincing Writer

The annual convocation of the
College of Arts and Sciences was a
celebration for successfully meet-
ing last year’s goals, and an oppor-
tuniry to look at new goals for the
new academic year.

Richard Edwards, dean of the
college, led the program esterday
afternoon in Memorial all.

He indicated that results from
last r’s priorities were exciting.

“ believe the elements are in
gace for the ear of ’94 through

5 to be a tru exceptional year,”
Edwards said.

One rtinent area that lacked
success, wever, was the recruit-
mipt of black faculty, Edwards
sai .

He said the colic e is planning
to introduce minorities into the
departments of biology, chem-
istry, psychology, political science

  

 

and possibly sociology by next
r.

Edwards said the main priori-
ties for the coming year are to
conduct aggressive and successful
recruiting of faculty and nduate
students, including emp Isis on
women and minorities.

He said the college also is
working to enhance undergradu-
ate services through college-level
support of advising and to extend
imuau'ves to improve undergradu-
ates instruction.

Edwards said building the next
generation of computer infras-
tructure and support for college

faculty and to create more efficient
information systems in the college
are two goals for the upcoming

r.

Kathleen Harman, an adminis-

trative assistant in the sychology

department, said she as noticed

improvements in the college since

last r, especially in the area of
ty retention.

She .saidsgigdthinh the convo-
cation is a we no reco in

Milli Money leaves VlBWBI‘S
feeling little short-changed

By Dolores Barclay
Associated Press

Three 12-year-old suburban boys sit
in a treehouse musing about life’s mys-
teries. 'They drop three objects into a
shoe-box time capsule: a photograph of
one boy’s dead mother, an eyelash curler
and a diaphra in. Of the latter, one lad
says it's a trave drinking cup. The small-
est of the trio, F rank, correctly states its
intended purpose.

This contradiction of worldliness and
naivete contributes to the eneral mess
of“Milk Money," a silly, o ensive movie
directed b Richard Benjamin and pro-
duced b Kathleen Kennedy and Frank
Marshal .

The story centers on Frank (Michael
Patrick Carter), whose mother died in
childbirth, his science teacher-ecologist
father (Ed Harris), and a rostitute
named V (Melanie Griffith) w 0 comes
into their lives.

Frank and his buddies, Kevin (Brian
Christopher) and Brad (Adam
LaVorgna), are obsessed with girls, girls,
girls and decide they'd like to see a naked
woman. So they pool their mone , ho-

 

 

on their bi cles and ride into
the city to ire a hooker. No
sur rise — the bikes get
stolian. A hustler sees them
flashing around a plastic bag
full of coins, lures them to a
garage and tries to take the
mone at npomt.

V, )in agiiearby limo feed-
ing strawberries dipped in
chocolate to a client, steps
out to thwart the mugging.
The youn sters salivate at the
sight of er and arrange a
deal: They’ll give her $100 if
she'll strip. She does.

Later, as she drops off her
earnings to her pimp (who
has been stealing from the
mob), she sees the boys hud-
dled together in the rain on'
the street. So she takes her
pimp’s car and gives them a
ride home. The car breaks
down when she gets to
Frank’s house.

\Vhat ensues is a series of
predictable events with a pre-
dictable outcome and a forced
subplot involving stolen
money and the mob.

Sprinkled here and there
are some playful but ues-
tionable scenes. In one, rank
sneaks V into his sex educa-
tion class (the teacher has
been called away to a phony
telephone call) to demon-
strate by drawing on V’s body
a woman’s reproductive
organs.

In another, V shows up at
a school arty in her hooker
attire antlf’while dancing with
Frank, allows him to slide
between her 1e 5 while she
gyrates above his head. It is
uncomfortable to watch at
best.

llB0 prodvclrre Mendes Irrevle

LOS ANGELE'S — The story of Chico
Mendes, the Brazilian peasant whose murder
sparked worldwide outrage over the depletion
of the Amazon rain forest, is finally reaching
the screen.

After the 44-year-old Mendes was shot
down on his doorstep in 1988, producers vied
for rights to film the story of his crusade
against the cattle ranchers and land speculatbrs
who despoiled his native land and the govern-
ment that permitted it to happen.

Britisher David Puttnam is the apparent
winner. He is the executive producer of “The
Burning Season,” scheduled to premiere Sat-
urday on HBO. Hollywood veteran John
Frankenheimer (“The Manchurian Candidate”
“Birdman of Alcatraz”) directed a cast that
includes Raul Julia, Sonia Braga, Edward
James Olmos and Esai Morales.

A wearyJulia talked about the film in a tele—
phone -interview from New York. He had
arrived the night before from Australia, where
he had filmed “Streetfighter,” a live version of

the video game.
The actor said he had read the news of

Mendes’ murder and its aftermath. When he
became involved in “The Burning Season,” he
learned more about Mendes, who founded the
Xapuri Rubber Tappers’ Union, by studying
film documentaries and other material.

What kind ofa man was Mendes?

“He was just a regular guy, full oflife and its
enjoyment,”]ulia said. “People liked him. He
had a great sense of humor. But he was dedi-
cated to saving the forest, especially around

the area where he grew up, in the footsteps of
his father and grandfather."
