Tuition hike would keep people out of college, students say

 

 

By Brian Bennett
Senior Staff Writer

RICHMOND, Ky -— When Tra-
cy Melton entered Morehead State
University as a freshman, she was
blessed with a scholarship that fully
covered her tuition.

But because of rising tuition costs
and the the stagnation of her finan-
cial aid dollars. Melton, now a sen-
ior carrying a 4.0 grade-point aver-
age, has to work two jobs to afford
to attend school.

Melton was one of several stu-
dents who, during a public hearing
at Eastern Kentucky University last
night, pleaded with the state Coun-
cil on Higher Education not to raise
tuition rates drastically.

“The students are hurting," Mel-
ton told the nine members of the
l7-member council present.
"They're hurting right now, and a
lot of them are close to breaking
their backs. And I think you‘re go-
ing to break their backs if you go to
a 20 percent (tuition increase)."

About 35 people attended the
hearing, the first in a series spon-
sored by the CHE to get a feel for
what students think about a tuition
increase.

Iraq agrees
to ‘no-fly’
restrictions

By Walter Putman
Associated Press

Baghdad promised yesterday to
abide by two U.N. demands that
prompted U.S.-led air strikes on
southern Iraq, but the key issue of
Iraqi anti-aircraft missiles in “no-
fly" zones remained unsettled.

Pentagon officials said only one
of the four targeted anti-missile bat-
teries was knocked out in Wednes-
day’s short. intense raids. They said
the other three were disassembled
and temporarily unusable.

But US. officials said the mis-
sion was successful because a threat
to allied planes enforcing the no-fly
zones was curbed and a “strong
message“ was sent to Iraqi Presi-
dent Saddam Hussein to obey U.N.
resolutions. They said allied jets
would attack again if needed.

Iraq gave no indication it would
withdraw the missiles. It said sol-
diers manning the anti-aircraft bat-
teries had been ordered not to fire
during Wednesday's attack, but in
the future would be prepared to re-
taliate.

 

The official Iraqi News Agency
reported two planes had flown over
northern Iraq yesterday but fled af-
ter being “confronted" by anti-
aircraft forces. There was no elabo-
ration and the planes were not iden-
tified.

A senior Pentagon official said
there was no evidence of such an
incident.

At the end of the November CHE
meeting, the state university presi-
dents endorsed a proposal calling
for the council‘s tuition-setting pol-
icytobesetannuallyandaraise in
next school year's rates. which have
already been set Currently, the
council sets tuition every other year
for the following two academic
years.

Tuition for the 1993-94 school
year could be increased by as much
as $60 per semester at community
colleges; $130 per semester at the
regional universities; and $180 per
semester at doctoral institutions, in-
cluding UK.

Tuition at UK for next year was
set at the council's November 1991
meeting at $920 per semester for in-
state students and $2,760 for out-of-
state students.

Most vocal in their opposition to
tuition raises last night were non-
traditional students, who said they
would be hurt worst by an increase.

“If you start raising tuition,
there's going to be a lot of older
students and young mothers, who
are just trying to make it on their
own, who won't have the chance to
better themselves," said Sharron
Washbum, an EKU junior and

mother of two.

Brad Moulden, a non-traditional
student at EKU and father of two.
said he’s afraid a large tuition in-
crease will make higher education
unattainable for many.

“A 15 to 20 percent increase is
going to knock off a lot of stu-
dents," Moulden said. “I want my
children to be able to go to school."

Some students said they would
not be against a small tuition in.
crease, provided the money were to
be used for the right reasons, which.
they insisted, do not include simply
making up for budget cuts.

"The main concern of the stu-
dents at Morehead is that this seems
to be an awfully big coincidence
with the big budget cut we had last
year," said Chando Mapoma, More-
head student body president. “Stu-
dents can't afford it. We want our
education, and we want our educa-
tion in Kentucky. But please find
other ways to raise the money."

Doug Leopold. a student senator
at EKU. expressed concern that out-
of—state students would suffer more
and that an increase would deter
students from Kentucky colleges.

Organizers: Big crowds
expected at King events

 

By Steve Olshewsky
Contributing Writer

 

Organizers are expecting a record
tumout at Monday's Martin Luther
King Jr. holiday events, which this
year will include the annual down-
town march and an address by a
close associate of the slain civil
rights leader.

The Rev. Fred L. Shuttlesworth,
one of four organizers who joined
King to form the Souther Christian
Leadership Conference, will meet
with students faculty and staff at 8
am. in Blazer Cafeteria to have re-
freshments and watch a video about
King's life.

The students then plan to join 50
to 100 other groups in the march,
which is being co-sponsored by UK
and the Lexington-Fayette Urban
County Government.

The march begins at the Lexing-
ton Civic Center at 10 am. and will
wind through downtown before
ending at Heritage Hall. where a
program featuring speeches by
Shuttlesworth, Lexington Mayor
Pam Miller and UK President

Charles Wethington will be held.

Shuttlesworth. a pastor of the
Greater New Light Baptist Church
in Cincinnati, said he is concerned
about America because there is far
too much violence in society.

“We need to reinvestigate Dr.
King's thoughts on nonviolence as
a way to cope with the violence of
today." he said.

Michael Fogier. who represents
the Central Kentucky Council for
Peace and Justice and is a member
of the planning committee for the
King celebration, said organizers
are expecting strong participation in
this year's activities — especially
from students.

“We are hoping to see a diverse
participation. particularly among
young people." Fogler said. “We
are encouraging everyone to cele-
brate the holiday by commemorat-
ing the purpose of King's life."

Jerry Stevens, who works in
UK's Office of Minority Affairs
and is coordinating the march. said
there is a special need for young
people to become committed to

Conference to focus on recruitment of minority teachers

 

..........

By Steve Olshewsky
Contributing Writer

 

Recruitment and retention of mi-
nority teachers will be the focus of
a conference to be held in Lexing-
ton this weekend.

 

 

 

 

The conference, which begins
Sunday and runs through Tuesday,
will examine programs to increase
the low number of minorities in all
levels of teaching, a problem that
results in a lack of role models for
minority children. said Ernest J.

Middleton, director of graduate
studies in education at UK.

“To ensure the motivation and
self confidence of minority chil-
dren. it is important that they en-
counter teachers from their own
background from time to time."

Rasdall exhibit challenges
racism in United States

 

By Tyrone Beason
News Editor

Fourteen timed-and-feathered
wooden crosses line the walls at
Rasdall Art Gallery in the Old Stu-
dent Center.

Nailed to each is a photograph of
individual or group of blacks. all
taken around the turn of the centu-
ry. Artist Louis Bickett titles this
startling portrayal of racism “They
Called Him Nigger."

The exhibit opened at Rasdall
Gallery last night and will he on
display through Feb. 5.

Although Bickett is not black. he
said he always ha been troubled by
the oppression imposed upon blacks
in Central Kentucky. He was raised
in Winchester. Ky.

“I wouldn‘t say tha I came from
a racist backgrormd, but being
raised in Caitral Kentucky. it was

 

just sort of the norm that black peo-
ple. specifically. were thought of as
a lower caste." he said.

After coming across a cachet of
old photographs of blacks who
lived primarily in Michigan. Bickett
decided to incorporate them into an
installation piece on racism.

“All these people in the photo-
graphs are middle class, and the
idea of them in association with the
tar and feathers. hopefully, will
evoke a profound response.” said
Bickett. who now lives in Lexing-
ton.

The crosses are accompanied by
a poem with the same name as the
exhibit. Bickett said he included the
poem as an explanation of the sym-
bolism. though he realizes that
some visitas will not be moved by
what they see.

Middleton said.

UK education professor Deneese
Jones said minorities will account
for 46 percent of all school-aged
children by the year 2000, but only
12.5 percent of teachers will be mi-
norities.

Jones said that there is a strong
need to reflect the population in
teaching staffs.

“Tomorrow's citizens need to
learn to deal with diversity. They
need to be acculturated to them-

Pitino takes Cats’ probable fall from No. 1 in stride

 

By John Kelly
Sports Editor

 

After a two-night stay in the pent-
house of college basketball. UK
was forced to pack its bags and be-
gin preparation for a move to a low-
er-class room in the Associated
Press poll next week.

The Wildcats were whipped
Wednesday night lOl~86 by Van-
derbilt in Nashville. Tenn. quickly
transforming UK from a team that
was No. l in the nation to a team
that isn't even the top team in the
Southeastern Conference's Fastem
Division.

Haida, 9-3 overall and unbeaten
in three tries in conference play this
season, holds that post UK (ll-1
overall. 2-1 SEC) now is tied for
second with Vanderbilt and South
Carolina.

Pitino said yesterday that confer-
ence standings are meaningless
when most of the teams have only
played three games. None of it real-
ly meant much in the grand scheme
of things, Pitino said. Not the prob-
ability that the Cats would fall from
No.1. not dropping to second-place
in its SEC division and not an early-
smson conference loss.

“We knew last night's game was
going to be a tough one for us." Piti-
no said. “We know what it's like to
go on the road in the SEC."

The Cats remain on that rough-
and-tumble SEC road for two more
games. After taking this weekend
off. UK retums to action against Al-
abama (8-4. 1-2) Tuesday night in
Tuscaloosa. Ala, Next Saturday. the
Cats go to Columbia. SC. to face
South Carolina (6-6. 2-1).

Pitino was indifferent about the
Cats' having the weekend off. “I
don‘t think it really matters to us."
he said.

Pitino wouldn‘t say UK played
poorly. nor did he feel Vanderbilt

 

 

 

 

 

i can look at nine or 10 teams
that could be No.1, although i will
say that I do make Duke a slight
. favorite because of the
experience they have.

—Rlck Pitlno,
UK basketball coach

 

had found a heretofore unnoticed
chink in the Cats‘ undefeated ar-
mor.

“I don't think they really exploit-
ed anything, more than they just
played intelligent basketball." Piti-
no said. “But still with 3~something
to go. we were still in the game
against a team that was really on
foe.”

Pitino called all the No. l hoopla
premature for two reasons. First. it‘s
too early in the season. Second. he
said. the oft-used term parity really
is founded this season.

“We didn‘t make too big of a deal
out of it," Pitino said. “It was an
honor. even though it was short-
livcd one. We really enjoyed it
while it lasted. 1 really couldn't pick
a number one right now.

“I can look at nine or 10 teams
that could be number one. although
i will say that I do make Duke a
slight favorite because of the experi-
ence they have. They have probably
four first~round draft picks and two
lottery picks. Plus, they‘ve been
there.“

Cincinnati. North Carolina. India-
na and Georgia Tech were among
the teams Pitino mentioned as po-
tential Final Four teams. The coach
said this year‘s Final Four in New
Orleans. La.. has the potential to be
one of the most exciting in recent
years.

“Unlike the past two years. there

11-1 record and a defense that will
prove challenging for UK's of-
fense.

“Auburn always is just a tough,
tough defensive team," Lady Kats
Coach Sharon Fanning said.
“You‘re going to see some zones,
and probably 99.9% of it (will be
zones)."

The Lady Tigers also will have a
tough time taking the ball to the
hoop, as well. Before Wednesday's
game against Morehead State. UK
was 11th in scoring margin (20.0)
and fourth in scoring defense
(53.2).

Not only do their defenses match
up in intensity, but they both have
had much the same outcome so far
this season.

Auburn‘s only blemish is a loss
at home to No. 2 Tennessee last
week.

UK currently is on a seven-game
winning streak and is only four
games away from breaking the
longest Lady Kats winning streak

across Wisconsin farmland back
home. She honed her timing down
(and back up again) on dad’s tram-
poline.

“My dad was a gymnast, so be
kind of pushed me and my sister
into it," Jenny said. “But we had
fun."

Therein lies the explanation for
the stumped looks and blank ex-
pressions you initially will renown
for if you ask them, heaven forbid.
to name their favorite skills.

Upon further review, you get,
from Jennifer, “Vaulthandspring-
frontwithahalf," spoken like it's
spelled, at roughly 8.000 rpm.

From Jenny, you get. “My full-in
on floor. Two flips. First, I do a
full, then I tuck the second." Oh,
yeah, sure, of course, easy, right.

Now what exactly is a full again?

Ask Little who will lead her
squad in each event and she will re-
spond, ”Those two," “Jenny and
Jennifer," “Both Jennies," and
“Again the Two Jennies."

With talent like this, several
coaches would refrain from well.
coaching, adhering instead to the
ever-popular lf-lt-Ain‘t-Broke-
Don‘t-Fix-It School Of Gymnas-
tics.

Not Little. Not one Little bit.

She opened the year by scrapping
Jennifer's enormously popular con-
temporary fioor routine in favor of
one with a traditional, upbeat, tap-
your—foot musical arrangement

“When we first heard this mu-
sic," Little said, “everybody in the
gym started dancing to it, and I
said. ‘God, that is Jennifer made
over.’ "

Done.

They changed it. and the rest is
promising to be a high-scoring his-
tory. Jennifer performed it for the
first time Friday and the crowd, Lit-
tle said, “went nuts. It fits her per-
sonality. Kinda like Kim Zrneskai."

So now this UK team which has
disappointed, succeeded, then dis-
appointed again is on the brink of
succeeding once more because of
two bright, new faces who have
both coaches and players dreaming
of gymnastics championships pre-
ceded by four letters (NCAA), not
three (SEC).

“Jenny could be the best in the
country. and so could Jennifer,"
Ogden said matter-of—factiy during
practice Monday. “Did you see?
Did you see what they did?"

I saw, yes. I did, and I will see
again. Jenny and Jennifer. Jennifer
and Jenny. You did say, “Zmesk-
a1," didn't you?
