Candidates battle over job skills

By Rusty Manseau

Senior Staff H'riter

Paul Patton is an engineer, and Larry Forgy is a
lawyer.

That’s the biggest difference between the two
candidates for governor, according to Patton, who
appeared at the Otis A. Singletary Center for the
Arts with Forgy for a public forum.

Patton, a Democrat, said his occupation taught
him how to solve problems. As an attorney, Forgy
learned how persuade people, regardless of the facts,
Patton said.

“The public will see that this is a contest between
rhetoric and substance,” Patton said in his closing
remarks at the Kentucky Press Association forum.

Forgy said Patton represents a government of
arrogance.

“He is a part of the system that needs to be inter—
rupted," For 4' said.

GETTING SMASHED

Class uses crac/eed eggs,
melons to study physics

By Mandy Cawood

contributing writer

What do eggs and watermelons have to do with
physics?

Students in UK’s Modern Studies Curriculum
found out yesterday during an out of the ordinary
science lesson at the Rose Street parking structure.

Chemistry professorjim Holler and physics and
astronomy professor Suketu Bhavsar dropped eggs,
coconuts, pizza and even watermelons from the
structure to demonstrate that the rate at which
objects fall is not dependent on their mass.

For example, an egg and a watermelon dropped

from the same height will hit the ground at the same
time. The experiment demonstrates the principle in
Galileo’s 17th century experiment of dropping can—
non balls from Italy's Tower of Pisa.

Yesterday's experiment was conducted for fresh-
men in the introductory natural science course
offered by the Modern Studies program.

Despite a little juice in their hair, students
seemed to enjoy the experiment and thought it tnade
learning more fun than a typical classroom lecture.

Amy Polston, an undeclared freshman, said she
enjoyed the extra effort the professors put forth.

“It’s fun to be out of the classroom," Polston said.
“Our professors make it fun with the examples and
skits they perform.”

Pairs of students timed the falls of the objects
with Stopwatches and recorded the results, which
they will e-mail to their professors to compile a
spreadsheet of data.

The class is jointly taught by professors Holler

and Bhavsar. Holler also teaches a general chemistry
class and an occasional graduate course. Bhavsar
teaches Astronomy 19] and 192 courses.

Bhavsar praised the Modern Studies program, an
alternative method for fulfilling the University's
general requirements in a small college atmosphere.

“It‘s a new concept that works great,” Bhavsar
said. “It’s like a community."

The students say the mini—college program
makes it easy to get to know each other. They have
taken sotne field trips, including a recent one to an
art museum in Cincinnati.

Brandon Vickers, a fine arts freshman, said the
program, while challenging, has been great so far.

“It’s entertaining." Vickers said. “It requires a lot
of dedication to fulfill reading requirements."

Last week, Holler and Bhavsar arranged for a
special presentation by the Lexington Ballet to
demonstrate the physics of motion and movement
through dance.

NEW YORK ~ Prodded by the United States,
Bosnia's warring factions agreed yesterday to guide-
lines for elections and a future government for their
ethnically torn country, but remained far apart on
how to stop the lighting.

All sides hailed the agreement as a step toward

meant highlighted the arduous work that lay ahead
in ending the 3 l/Z—year—old war.

The tnain issue at the talks was how much power

Workplace “flake deemed dangerous

CHICAGO — Researchers sampled the air in
workplaces that allow smoking and found that con»
trary to the tobacco industry's claims, workers are
exposed to dangerous levels of secondhand smoke.

Nicotine levels in offices studied were tnore than

regulatory standards, the researchers found in what
is believed to be the largest study on secondhand
smoke in the workplace.

The findings appear in today's issue of The jour—

Burns won't make 100th birthday party

LAS VEGAS ~ George Burns won't play the
Palace for his 100th birthday after all.

“We just felt he was not strong enough to do an
hour-long show,” his manager, Irving Fein, said
yesterday.

Burns signed years ago to perform at Caesars
Palace on his 100th birthdayJan. 20, 1996, and the
resort sold out five performancesjan. 17-21.

In July 1994, the ci rar-chom )ing comic cut his
head when he fell in t e bathtu . He later under—
went brain surgery to drain fluid that had built up as
a result of the injury.

Fein said Burns was “sort of half-sorry, half—
relieved" at canceling the birthday show. “It‘s tough
to do an hour show and remember everything. It’s a
lot ofpressure," the manager said.

Burns has performed birthday shows at Caesars
for the past several years but canceled thejanuary
1995 appearance because of health problems.

Accorfiing to Robert Baker, a

Baker says peo )le who report

Sleep paralysis, a condition that
affects about 4 to 5 percent of the

conscious state, he said.

Someone suffering from this
condition would describe pressure

held still in his bed, as a result of
reduced breathing and less oxygen

event eads some to believe they
have been abducted, Baker said.

and stopped to eat. At the table
the women had been talking about
aliens, ghosts and other phenome-
na. Later, the driver became tired,
and pulled off the road to sleep.
\Vhen she awoke, she said a brig t

Baker said the woman recalled
the incident throu h hypnosis
because the idea of a uction had
been suggested to her by her
neighbor.

“In many of these cases, people

Institute preps luture
leaders on "K campus

By Robin M. Barnett

Contributing W'rlrer

The Emerging Leader Insti-
tute at UK is looking for a few
good leaders: 25, to be precise.

The seven-year-old program
is restricted to freshman and
sophomores who are seeking to
improve their leadership quali—
ties.

The program is designed as
an open forum where students
lead discussions and create group
projects.

“There are not any quizzes or
tests," said Elizabeth Bates, grad-
uate assistant at the Student
Organization Center. “However
we recommend a 2.5 (grade-
point average) because the pro—
gram is very time-intensive.”

The biggest focus outside of
class is a rroup project. The pro-
jects are designed by the students
to display their leadership quali-
ties.

“Past projects have been high—
ly successful," Bates said. “The
mediation center was created,
researched, and initiated by stu-
dents in the Emerging Leader
Institute."

But being a leader is not just
what you do, it’s how you act,
some said.

“Most leaders stand up and
take an issue right off the bat,”
said David Johnson, a junior and
former ELI student “but E1 I
taught me that being the leader
bi example is just as effective."

Selected students earn three
credit hours toward their general
education requirements. The
program be rinsJan. 30 and ends
April 1 1. he class will meet
every Tuesday and Thursday
from 2:30 to 4:50 p.111.

Applications for admission to
the program may be obtained
from Elizabeth Bates in l0() Stu—
dent Center. The application
deadline is Friday.

-\long with demographic
information, the application asks
students to answer questions on
views of leadership and expected
personal goals from the course.

“\Ve strongly encourage stu-
dents to apply," said Rhonda
Strauss, assistant director of Stu—
dent Activities.

“It is important for students
to learn that there are many dif—
ferent ways to be a leader. The
Emerging Leader program
shows students how.”

applying for the Emerging Lead-
er Institute, contact Bates at 357-

Mini-hooks make big impression
on guests at UK Special Collections

By Robin Kidd

szm'buting Wrirer

A colorful display of miniature
books greets students as they
enter the Margaret 1. King
Library North, home of UK’s
Division of Special Collections
and Archives.

The Miniature Book Collec-
tion includes literature, foreign
language dictionaries, Bibles and
religious psalm books.

Some books in the collection
are about three square inches,
while others are as “small as your
little fingernail” — an analogy
used often by Terry Warth to
describe the tiniest members of
the book collection.

Warth began working in Spe—
cial Collections in 1968. She is
now retired from her job as a cata-
loger, but continues to give tours
of the collections on a regular
basis.

\Varth said many of the minia—
ture books already had been
obtained when she began working
in the division. She said she thinks
the initial interest in collecting the
miniature works stemmed from
Carolyn Hammer’s fascination of
printing techni ues.

Hammer, w 0 then served as
the division’s rare book curator,
was a nationally-known printer,
Warth said.

“Interest in the miniature
books has always been fantastic,"

\Varth said. “Everyone is just
amazed at them; this collection is
one of our biggest draws.”

Bill Marshall, director of Spe-
cial Collections and Archives,
agreed.

“The miniature books are a fun
conversation piece. They attract
interest from all age groups."

11 arth said the majority of
books 1n the collection have been
published within the past 50 years
However, there are several that
date back further.

The oldest book in the collec—
tion was published in 1634 by the
Elzevirs, a company still active
today in publishing scientific
titles.

Warth said books of smaller
size were popular in the early
16005. The books’ small size
allowed students to fit them into
the pockets of the academic gowns
worn at universities, she said.

Some of the most precious
books in the collection are the set
of Kate Greenaway's Almanacs,
officials said.

The set, although not com-
plete, includes many of these
annual almanacs of the 18805 and
is worth about $2,500, Warth
said.

\Vard said the books are signif-
icant collectors items because they
represent a great challenge to
printmg companies.

“It's amazin that printing this
small can even Be done,” she said.

Other notable pieces in the col-

UK’s collection also includes
several miniature editions of
works by noted authors such as

“Most of the works in the col-
lection are donated by grateful
readers,” Warth said.

She pointed out a tiny leather
bound copy of Webster’s Dictio—

by a researcher in appreciation of
help he had received there.

Have you ever been the domi—

get a kick out of bashing members
of the opposite sex by raising your
hand before they do? If so, your
days are numbered.

Professors l’eggy Allen and
Cindy Leonard are starting a gen—

munity College. The purpose of
the gender workshops is to pro-

femoles to shore discussion in class

more equal participation from
both sexes in the classroom.

After spending a year studying
the various ways that the sexes
interact in a classroom, Allen
found that her research, “Gender
Conmmnications and Ramifica—
tions for Females in College," was
applicable to the female popula—
tion of LCC. In short, the males
tend to monopolize the discussion
in class while the females avoid
class confrontation.

Biagi's grand design
means Top 40 rank

By Melanie McCoy

Contributing Il'rlter

UK architecture professor
David Biagi recently was named
one of the United States” Top 40
architects younger than 40.

The 40 Under 40 book, which
will be published in November, is
a nationwide award rogram that
began in 1941 and) is released
every IO years, Biagi said.

Biagi was nominated for the
award by distinguished architects.
college deans and past recipients
based on their knowledge of his
work. He was asked to submit a
portfolio for review.

The panel of judges who
reviewed the portfolios involved
three former 40 Under 40 award
recipients. Biagi said he was hon—
ored to be chosen for the award by
such an esteemed panel because
they view architecture as a very
serious endeavor.

“To say that you‘re participat—
ing on that level is very humbling
and exciting," he said.

Biagi’s portfolio included a
resume, brief history of design
philosophy and slides of his past
Work.

Biagi's success is not limited to
recent awards, though. It began
during his days as a UK student.

Biagi received numerous aca-
demic awards during his academic
career, including the UK Dean’s
Award in 1982, the American
Institute of Architecture medal for
the highest ranking graduate from
The Ohio State University in
1987, and one of 10 US. scholar-
ships to stud ' at the University of
Sienna in Italy.

Biagi also received the Tau

Sigma Delta medal of distinction
for excellence in architectural
practice and education. Linda
Talbott, director of Development
ofAlumni Affairs and Public Rela-
tions, said the honor is “given to
people who contribute both as
teachers and as practitioners. It is
a very impressive award.”

Biagi’s work as a professional
architect included employment by
Eisenman Robertson Architects
and Gwathmey Siegel 81 Associ-
ates Architects, two of New York’s
most prestigious fimis.

Designs are an important part
of Biagi’s architecture career, as
evidenced by his work on the
Center for Jewish Life at Duke
University and the Knoll Furni-
ture Derby Line.

Talbott said Biagi is admired
“because ofthe simplicity and ele-
gance of his designs, and yet at the
same time there’s nothing wasted
about them. They‘re very creative
and witty.”

Biagi has taught part time at
UK since 1992.

“He is among the most highly
regarded professors in the College
of Architecture," third-year archi-
tecture student Gary Shoemaker
said. “From the student point of
view, he has an ability to deal with
students in solving architectural
problems and explaining them."

Biagi said he returned to teach
at UK because of the opportunity
to work with students.

“They make you articulate
your ideas and positions,” he said.
”They keep your mind very
active."

()ne element of Biagi’s teach-
ing practice involves the use of his
private home.

are ready to begin their workshops
at LCC. Already the pair has
received two grants for their
efforts in gender equality. Their
first, in 1995, was the “Reducing
Gender Bias in Instruction at
LCC," and their most recent was
“Reducing (Tender Bias in Tech—
nical Career Programs at LCC."
These grants are intended to help
promote gender equality.

The first students to experience
the workshop-type setting will be
the architectural and administra-

each others as equals in the class-
room in hopes that it will carry
over into the workplace," Allen
said.

According to a press release,
this will not be the first crusade
for gender equality in the class—
room by Allen and Leonard. Both
were inspired by a seminar given
by the renowned Sadkers of the
American University in \Vashing—
ton, D.C.

The Sadkers are a group of
researchers whose sole purpose is
to study the behavior of children
in elementary school, and, in par-
ticular, the relationship between
the males and females and their
participation in the classroom set-
ting.
