board
changes
grades

By Kyle Foster
Editor in Chief

A yearlong struggle, full of
controversy and hurt feelings,
ended in compromise last week
when a UK appeals board ap-
proved the change of two grades
for a graduate student.

Carol Ragland. 51. is pursuing
a master‘s degree in the severe
and profound handicaps program
of special education. She ﬁled an
appeal with Academic Ombuds-
man Russ Groves in June 1991,
after receiving failing grades in
two core education courses —
EDS 630 and EDS 632. Both
classes were taught in the 1991
spring semester by John W.

‘ Schuster. associate professor and
director of UK Programs in Se-
vere and Profound Handicaps.

Ragland said she felt she was
treated unfairly by Schuster and
should not have received the fail-
ing grades.

Following last week's decision.
Ragland said she wm “pleased
with the decision. It means they
believed me and hopefully sets a
precedent for other students."

Schuster declined to comment
on the decision, but said it was a
shame the situation occurred.

“1 know that Carol feels very
strongly. and she feels she has
been treated unfairly. And I can
say the same.“ he told the board.

The appeal was not reviewed
until last week because Ragland
had been out of the state. When
she returned this spring. the ap-
peal process continued.

In June 1991. Ragland wrote a
letter to the ombudsman stating
the failing grades were given

UK student found innocent
of first-degree rape charges

By Lara Berdlno
Contributing writer

After ﬁve hours of deliberation
Tuesday. a Fayette County jury
found a UK student innocent of
charges that he raped another stu-
dent behind a campus fratemity
house last year.

Kevin Wayne McPherson. 20.
was arrested in December after a
UK sophomore said McPherson
raped her under a deck at the Phi
Kappa Psi social fratemity house.
447 Columbia Ave.

McPherson‘s attorney. Larry
Roberts. said he felt sympathy for
the plaintiff‘s family but was “de-
lighted" with the verdict. which

he called “just."

Roberts said the case should
never have been brought to trial
and that. at the most. his client

should have been charged with a ‘

misdemeanor. McPherson was
charged with ﬁrst-degree rape. a
felony carrying a possible sen-
tence of ID to 20 years in prison,

The state‘s chief prosecutor in
the case. Assistant Common-
wealth Attoniey Tamra (iormley.
could not be reached for com-
ment on the verdict or Roberts‘
statements.

The prosecution alleged the
rape took place Oct. 27 under the
deck behind the fraternity house.
Fumiture from the house had
been placed there in preparation

for a Halloween party that took
place that night.

The plaintiff, who was l9 at the
time of the alleged incident. said
Monday in testimony that
McPherson asked her to come un-
der the deck. where. she said. he
pushed her down on a sofa and
one of her arms became pinned,
She said he then forced her to en.
ga e in sexual intercourse.

ut Robcns. challenging the
woman‘s claitn that she was
raped. questioned why she did not
call out for help frotn a friend.
whom she saw walking by the
deck.

Appeal

Continued from page 1

based on Schuster‘s recommen-
dation to her adviser and an advi-
sory committee. She stated that
she had no knowledge of or input
into the situation.

She said the submission of the
failing grades was contrary to a
conversation she had with
Schuster earlier in the semester.

Both Schuster and Ragland
agreed that some miscommunica-
tion took place after the conversa-
tion. which occurred in Schust-
er’s ofﬁce April 17. I991.

The misunderstanding was the
basis of Ragland‘s appeal.

Following the conversation in
Schuster‘s office. Ragland said
she understood that she would
have until the end of the summer
to complete deﬁciencies in the
two courses. She said she be-
lieved that Schuster had agreed to
an extension beyond June 5 —
the date on which. according to
the courses’ syllabi. all class
work had to be completed in or-
der for an Incomplete grade to be
changed to a letter grade.

Contrary to her understanding.
Ragland received notice in late
June 1991 that the “I“ grades had
been converted to “E" grades for
both courses.

Schuster said he had no contact
with Ragland from April until
June 5, during which time the stu-
dent ceased submitting course
work.

Also, Ragland signed an In-
complete form. agreeing to the
June 5 deadline. But during testi-
mony, Ragland said she did not
read the form because she as-
sumed it was the same as her oral
agreement with Schuster.

Ragland said her relationship
with Schuster also was strained
because she said the instructor in—
timidated her and ridiculed her
during class.

“I have never seen Dr. Schuster
react to another student like he
reacted to me. The conflict has

been there since the ﬁrst course,"
Ragland told the board.

She said she felt harassed, al-
though she did not ﬁle formal
charges against Schuster.

“Harassment is a strong word.
Disagreement is another word. It
was just a total breakdown of
communication. I felt harassed
at times. It was never-ending and
sometimes it seemed deliberate. It
was like a frustration-type thing
and it was antagonized,” she said.

During the appeals board meet-
ing, which Ragland requested be
an open meeting. she said that on
one occasion when she asked a
question in class. Schuster orally
attacked her.

“He came down the aisle shak-
ing his finger at me. red in face,
rigid in body. yelling at me," she
said.

During this testimony Schuster.
who was approved for tenure in
May, shook his head and turned
to Donald Cross, special educa-
tion chairman. who looked as sur-
prised as Schuster at Ragland‘s
comments.

“I feel like my character has
been assassinated." Schuster told
the board. Then he looked at Rag-
land and said he couldn‘t imagine
himself the way she portrayed
him in the classroom.

He produced copies of teacher
evaluations since 1988 for the
board. He said that if Ragland‘s
accusations were correct. then at
least one other student would
have mentioned his behavior in
the evaluations. But Schuster has
received only the highest ratings
by students.

“I have never had students
come in to my ofﬁce and com-
plain about Dr. Schuster and that
includes Mrs. Ragland," Cross
told the board. “Dr. Schuster is
one of our most valued faculty
members.“

Members of the board asked
Ragland and Schuster if “with-
drawal, no credit" would be ac-
oeptable. meaning that the each
failing grade would be replaced

with a “."W

Ragland said she would be sat-
isfied if that was all she could get
because the failing grades had
kept her from obtaining teaching
positions.

Schuster said he would not be
as pleased but reluctantly agreed.

“In the interest of compromise
and ﬂexibility I would agree, but I
don‘t think that‘s fair to other stu-
dents."

After almost three hours of tes-
timony and questioning last
Thursday. the appeals board re—
treated to deliberate. Ragland re-
ceived notice of the decision the
next day.

The board decided to change
both failing grades, awarding
Ragland a “W“ for EDS 630 and
an “I" for EDS 632. Ragland must
complete the EDS 632 course-
work by this fall. In compliance
with Raglaiid‘s request, the
coursework will not be graded by
Schuster or Cross. Ragland must
retake IiDS 630.

“I am so thankful that they
changed it." Ragland said. “Just
getting out of UK is my goal now.
I would have been through by
now if things had gone right."

She said she hopes to complete
work on her master‘s degree by
the 1993 fall semester.

Schuster, who said he takes
pride in the special education pro-
gram at UK, said he is concerned
about the repercussions of the in-
cident.

“We have an award-winning
program here, and we're very
proud of our graduates. And I
think about that when I put my
name on something," he said.

Ragland said the situation was
“a breakdown of communication
and we were not able to deal with
it ourselves.

“In all fairness, John was as
miserable about the situation as I
was. and he certainly was as upset
about going to the appeals board
as l was. That doesn‘t diminish
the misery John suffered. I‘m
sure.“

Trustee, regent nominees
announced by committee

By Dale Greer
News Editor

Saying that fundamental
change has come to Kentucky‘s
state universities. members of a
gubernatorial committee this
month released the names of 152
nominees who are eligible to
serve as school trustees and re-
gents.

The list. which also includes 32
nominees for the Council on
Higher Education, was developed
in an attempt to rid state universi-
ties of political patronage.

Wilson W. Wyatt. chairman of
the seven-member nominating
committee, praised the quality of
the candidates and said the new
system will improve the quality
of Kentucky higher education.

in the past, governors had sole
discretion in choosing most trus-
tees. regents and council mem—
bers — a power that critics said
was used to reward political alle-
giance rather than commitment to
education.

But Wyatt said the new system,
which was mandated by a 1992
state law. virtually ensures future
appointments won't be tainted by
such factors.

Under the new system, the
committee submits a list of ap-
proved candidates to the govem-
or. who then chooses trustees, re-
gents and council members from
the pool of candidates.

The 1992 law requires that all
current boards and the council be
abolished and reformed by July 1.
using candidates approved by the
nominating committee. Half of all
current members. however, will
be reappointed by the governor to
provide for continuity.

At UK. that means six of the
current 13 gubematorially-
appointed trustees will return and
seven new trustees will be chosen
by the govemor from the commit—
tee's pool.

UK President Charles Wething-
ton said yesterday that the list of
candidates. announced June 1.
was "very impressive." He also
said he was pleased with the di-
versity of the 26 nominees for the
UK board — candidates come
from all regions of the state and
include farmers, business leaders,
a newspaper editor. a physician
and the president of a Kentucky
distillery,

The list includes two blacks
and five women.

said. “i believe to the extent that
we have the broad public repre-
sented on the board. then that‘s
more likely the extent to which
the public can have a broad input
into the University of Kentucky‘s
activities.

“And obviously in this group,
we do have African-American
representation, female representa-
tion. and we have statewide repre-
sentation.“

Wethington said, however. that
it was too early to tell if the new

process will dispel the idea
:unong some that politics is inter-
twined with Kentucky higher ed—
ucation.

“A lot at. the results of this pro-
cess will depend upon the new

ties. But l think we all ought to
go into this with the idea that
we're going to have good boards
that will help build support for

Campus police chief says
University’s environment
perfect for ’resident thief’

By Kyle Foster
Editor in Chief

UK Police Chief William H.
McComas Jr. describes 31-year—
old Melvin Franklin TaylorJr. as
clezut-cut, neatly—dressed and po-
lite. but at any time (when he‘s
not in jail), Taylor might be in
Conspicuously stealing a wallet or
purse on U K's campus.

“He‘s our resident thief," said
McComas. who has been arrest-
ing Taylor for the same crimes
since he became police chief five
years ago.

Since 1987. Taylor. has been
convicted of 57 combined misde-
meanor and felony charges. ac-
cording to Lexington-Fayette Ur-
ban County Dism’ct Court
records.

“The vast majority of those are
misdemeanors," McComas said.
“He's a petty thief.

“We‘ve got him once a year
every year since I’ve been here."

One felony conviction, theft by
unlawful taking over $100, put

Taylor in jail for a year, but now
he‘s out on parole — a parole that
forbids him to step on UK proper-
ty.

Taylor violated that restriction

about two weeks ago, when UK
Police spotted him outside of
Blazer Residence Hall on Lexing-
ton Avenue. They had been look-
ing for Taylor imyway because
the campus thefts had started
again.

we start looking for Melvin, And
we usually find him," McComas
said.

Six wallets were stolen from
offices in Patterson Of tice Tower,
the College of Law. Kastle Hall.
Taylor Education Building and
iirikson Hall on May 11. Taylor.
however. was not charged with
the thefts. Instead. UKPD arrest—
ed him on a misdemeanor parole
violation. A second parole viola-
tion will result in Taylor's retum
to jail for another year, McComas
said.

“He's out again. but as soon as
we locked him up, the thefts
stopped." he said.

McComas said Taylor also is
suspected of breaking into Blazer
Hall the night of his arrest.

According to the police report.
someone entered a room in Blazer
Hall May 24 about 7 am. It was
too dark for the UK students who
live in the room to distinguish
any features of the suspect. ex—
cept that he was a black male.

UK police then observed Tay-
lor outside the residence hall.

“But we don’t have evidence to
substantiate that it was Melvin,"
McComas said.

UKPD has a standard campus
watch flier that it releases when
wallet thefts are reported. McCo-
mas said the dates and locations
of the crimes are changed, but in-
formation about Taylor remains.

The flier includes descriptions
of Taylor — a black male. ﬁve

Summer Kentucky Kernel —

By Chip Sebastian
Contributing Critic

A monster with two mouths. a
lot of dripping water and a sense
of inevitable death. Sound famil-
iar? “Aliens 3“ is the latest in-
stallment in the HR. Giger-
inspired horror series. But this
time, the audience is in for quite
a different look.

Ripley (Sigoumey Weaver)
and her crew crash land on Fiori-
na 161, a prison planet for the vil-
est of criminals. A futuristic Al-
catraz, this planet's many
catacombs and vents provide per-

fect hiding places for the alien.
which has secretly stowed away
on Ripley‘s ship.

The only survivor, Ripley be-
friends the prison medic. The in-
mates, who haven‘t seen a wom-
an in years and thrive on religious
zeal, don't believe Ripley‘s story
of the horror that awaits them.

David Fincher gives a nouveau-
Gothic look to the planet: giant
corridors, rising steam, futuristic
machines and a sense of barren-
ness throughout

Unlike the ﬁrst “Alien,“ which
thrives on its conceptual monster
design and editing suspense, this
ﬁlm seems more of a dark re-

American myth: an unspoiled
Eden where the American Indians
reaped its plentiful fruits with sa-

Countless New World pilgrims

give birth and expression to
American dreams of freedom and

nagh‘s Irish Pub and Grill, locat-
ed on the comer of Woodland
and Euclid avenues, is like step-
ping over into a friendlier version
of “The Twilight Zone" —- the
sights and sounds are familiar
only from movies and are novel-
ties in real life.

The atmosphere is private, the
air is thick with enough smoke to
kill a bison and conversation is a
constant buzz.

The smells of Lynagh's are
unique, as well. The offerings
range from a burger that would
make any greasy spoon proud to
a vegwich that would satisfy the
most fastidious health nut.

The music to which Lynagh's
patrons dine is just as varied as
the items on the menu —— a pop
hit precedes a country tune,
which, in turn, is followed by an
alternative song. And for those
who like their entertainment live,
Lynagh’s Emporium next door
offers the sounds of bands like
Bom Cross-Eyed, Naked Opera
and 10-Foot Pole.

Lynagh’s is the decor.

“It’s like college bar meets
truck stop," allied health profes-
sions jrmior Kimberly Story said.
“It's dirty and grimy, and I
wouldn‘t change a thing."

The stools, tables and chairs are
usual bar issue —-— uncomfortable
but functional. The real artistry is
shown in the objects used for dec-
orations. Rather than paintings or
posters, hardware dangles from
the restaurant's walls. Bicycles,
tricycles, unicycles and even a
model race car swing from the
ceiling.

“I’m just waiting for it to fall
and slice my head off," Story said
of the push lawn mower suspend-
ed above her.

As if Lynagh’s needed to fur-
ther prove that it is a bar with a
sense of humor, a “Profundity
and Profanity" chart threatens
customers with ﬁnes — ranging
from 50 cents to $1 — for off-
color language. Proving that it is
a pub with a heart, Lynagh’s do-
nates all the ﬁnes to the Diabetes
Prevention Society.

‘Agood old - fashioned dive} QQnagh’s oﬂ'ers variety

Just as interesting as the decor
are the people who frequent Ly-
nagh’s. They come from all walks
of life just to sit in a comfortable
comer and enjoy a cold beer or
the company of friends.

A bearded man wearing a ﬂan-
nel shirt and work boots sits at the
counter. Across the room a stu-
dent, with her hair tied back in
ribbons and her Reebok-clad feet
tapping the floor, bites into a
hamburger. A young man carries
a pitcher of beer back to his table.
He smells of men’s cologne and
his paisley power tie stands out
starkly against his white shirt.

With such diversity at the pub,
it would seem that disturbances
could be common, but they’re
not.

In fact, some restaurant-goers
see the diversity of clientele as a
plus.

“You can just sit around and
soak up bits and pieces of other
people‘s conversations and learn
what they‘re thinking,” said Eng-
lish junior Kelley McAdam.

See LYNAGH’S, Page 7

Lynagg's Irish Pub and Grill,
on t corner of Woodland
and Euclid avenues. is ‘Iike
college bar meets truck stop,’
UK junior Kimberly Story said.
Everything from a lawnmower
to unicyc s dangles from the
restaurant's ceiling.

Much like the haphazard deco-
rations. sometimes-odd patrons
seem to ﬁt in despite themselves.

More important than the atmos-
phere or the patrons is the new-
ness of Lynagh’s. Established in

1981, Lynagh's has regular cus-
tomers but continues to be a new
experience for many UK stu-
dents.

“I'm a junior, and I started
coming here six months ago,"
McAdam said. “And I thought I
knew everything there was to
know about Lexington."
