New guidelines call for
adjusting rates yearly

 

By Don Puckett
Senior Staff Writer

The Kentucky Council on Higher
Education is expected to announce
on Nov. 7 the second tuition in-
crease in as many years.

Under new CHE guidelines.
which went into effect last Febru-

 

ary. tuition rates for all of the
state's public universities are ad-
justed every year.

In the past. tuition rates were ad-
justed every two years.

As a result. 1994-95 UK students
will face a tuition increase for the
second consecutive year.

CHE Director Gary Cox affirmed

Opponents of a rumpmed UK
waste storage facility eventually

will accept the idea. an official
said yesterday.

“When people understand that
this is the best environmental
option for the campus they will
be supportive of it." said Harry
FJioch. director of UK Environ-
mental Safety. The Sl.3 million
structure would be located next
to the Garrigus Building on
South Campus.

"This is the most responsible
thing we can do." Enoch said.

Enoch said the state advised
UK to build a new waste dispo-
sal site that meets federal gov-
ernment regulations.

The building would not store
any toxic material that is not al-
ready stored in the current site.
Enoch said.

Enoch said he did not know

how much additional space the
proposed site would bring but
said it is enough to better ensure
safety.

"The proposed site would al-
low as to segregate certain
things." he said. “Instead of hav-
ing a 100 square-foot area to
store acids and bases, we would
have enough room to segregate
the two."

He added: “We’re not doing
anything to increase waste. Theo-
retically. we could do that. But
that is not necessarily a desired
thing to do."

A larger facith means that
UK would not have to ship out
chemicals. which is an expensive
process, Enoch said.

The new facility would take
only on-eampus materials, but
the Lexington campus has the
permits needed to receive chemi-
cals from UK‘s 14 community

there will be a tuition increase. but
he would not specify the amount.

“It's too early, at least for me. to
speculate about how large the tui-
tion increase will be," he said.

Cox said the CHE has not yet
compiled all the necessary statis-
tics regarding tuition rates.

He said many factors could alter
the council's tuition adjustment. in-
cluding the findings of Gov. Brerc-
ton Jones' Commission on Higher
Education.

However. the council’s “tuition

institutions, as stated in a July

Jamal Mashbum helped bring the
University renewed respect on the
basketball court. He helped give
UK its first Final Four appearance
since 1984. And now he is helping
potential college students by giving
$500,000 to start a scholarship pro~
gram.

The “Jamal Mashbum Kentucky
Excel" program was introduced at
the UK Athletics Board meeting
yesterday. It will seek to identify
qualified Fayette County students
at the end of their eighth-grade year
and match them with UK student-
athletes and alumni in mentor rela-
tionships.

“I see this as my chance to give
something back to the people who
have helped me and to help those
students who may not otherwise
have the chance," Mashbum said.

“When I was growing up my
mother told me that if I didn‘t have
an athletic scholarship I probably
wouldn't go to college. That‘s not
fair to a lot of kids.“

Students will be encouraged to
use the resources in their high
schools to reach their academic po-
tential. with the reward being a
full-tuition scholarship to UK.

The Office of Minority Affairs
will administer the program, but de-
tails of the program have not yet
been established.

New $1 million system

triples computing power

 

UK President Charles Wething-
ton heralded a new University com-
puter system yesterday. saying it
would lead to “a new era in re-
search computing."

The $1 million Convex/Hewlett
Packard system. which was un-
veiled during a press conference at
McVey Hall. is expected to triple
computing capacity on campus. of-
ficials said.

Terrence L. Rock. president of
Convex Computer Corp. said the
system is one of the first steps nec-
essary to create a parallel computer
network.

Parallel computing consists of
linking several computers together
to process data and providing high-
pcrformance scientific results.

It boosts computing speed and al-
lows more complex data analysis.

John Connolly. a UK physics
professor ind director of the Center
for Computational Sciences. pro-
vided this analogy: "Conventional
computing tasks can be compared
to a bulk with one teller. with users
waiting in line to be served.

“The new system will provith

This technology will allow re-
searchers on the Lexington Campus
and throughout the state an opportu-
nity to conduct advanced scientific
research.

Cmnolly also said it will ensure
that the University continues to at-
tractsorneofthenation‘stopre-
searchers.

Wethington said the new system
continues a UK tradition of meeting
the computing needs of its rescach-
crs.

“Since the installation of the first
high-performance scientific com.
puting system in 1987. the Univer-
sity hm been forced to upgrade its
computing system in 1990 and
again in 1992. to keep up with the
advanced use of university re-
searchers." he said.

“We would like to keep it close
to that same level." CHE spokes-
man Norman Snider said.

Snider also said the primary fac-
tor contributing to tuition adjust-
ments is the change in Kentucky

per capita personal income. He said
the council views this as an indica-
tor of how easily Kentuckians can
pay for higher education.

rate.

UK Athletics Director C.M.

“Basically, student-athletes are
‘takers.’ they are not ‘givers.’ "
Newton said. “For the most part.
student-athletes will leave a pro-

and a little bit there. but to see a
young man at the start of a profes-

mitment is unheard of."

“I see this as an opportunity to es-

courage students who may not have
considered attending college to
reach their full academic potential."

Older students
find their niche

Editor's note: This is the second
installment of a three-part series on
non-traditional students.

 

By Anna Casteiia
Contributing Writer

 

Contrary to the stereotype. many
non-traditional students feel con-
nected to campus life — but in
their own special way.

Robin Crigler and Pam (‘upp are
enrolled in graduate programs at
UK.

They both commute two hours
each way from northern Kentucky.
where they live and work. to Lex-
ington two to three times per week.

Their classes are mostly in the
late afternoon or early evening. so
they often don‘t get home until late
at night.

dents in communications. then

and go to work the next morning.
Because of this. neither get a

But they still feel at home here.

“idowanttofeclapartofmm-

same way that traditional students
do. I want the connection between
my program and the faculty." she
added.

Crigler agrees. “i do feel like
there is a niche I fit into." she said.
“Feeling a part of my program is
important to me — not the campus
a a whole as is the case with most
traditional undergraduate students."

The long commute to and from
Lexington “sometimes seems like a
waste of time." (‘upp said.

The same is true for Crigler. but
she says she has "learned to use
that time to gear up on my way to
school and to gear down on my
way back

“i think it might be more difficult
to switch gears between school.
work and family any faster.“

Cupp usually is able to get to
campus a few hours before her
classes to catch up on things. such
as going to the library and checking
her electronic mail.

“80 fr: these things haven‘t been

Racial mix shifting quickly

Hispanics will be largest minority in US. by 2010

 

By Tim Bovee
Associated Press

 

WASHINGTON — Hispanics
wrll eclipse blacks as the nation‘s
largest minority group in the year
2010. the govemment said yester-
day in a report that predicts a con—
siderably different America by the
mid-21st century.

By 2050. the US. population will
be almost evenly divided between
minorities and non-Hispanic
whites. the Census Bureau said.

lhe bureau's new projections
also forecast faster general popula-
tion growth than previously expect
ed. estimating that the US. popula-
tion wrll reach 392 million by
2050. That's 52 percent more than
the 258.7 million Americans today.

It‘s also up 9 million from a pro-
jection issued just last year.

The projection was changed to
account for the return of many mili-
tary people from abroad, updated
birth and death statistics, and infor-
mation showing how new immigra-
tion rules have affected the popula-
tion. said Jennifer Day, 3 Census
Bureau demographer and author of
the report.

Minorities will increase their
share of the population. the report

«American Indians. from a little

[he growth will affect America's
non-Hispanic whites, the group that
has dominated the nation's politics.
economy and culture throughout
most of its history.

Their share of the population will
drop from 76 percent now to 68
percent in 2010 and 53 percent in
2050. Their number will increase
from 188.6 million to 205.8 util-
lion.

The explosion in the Hispanic
American population is projected to
center around a baby boom. Births
accounted for about two-thirds of
the projected Hispanic increase; im-
migration accounts for the rest.

The number of Hispanic births
will double by mid-century. the
Census Bureau said. Presently His-
panic women age 14 to 49 on aver-
age bear 2.9 children apiece over a
lifetime. the highest rate of any ma-
jor ethnic or racial group.

The birth rate for non-Hispanic

white women is 1.9 children. The
Census Bureau projects births to
whites will decline to 2010 and
then start to increase.

Black births are expected to iri-
crease steadily by 60 percent be-
tween now and 2050, and Asian
births are likely to triple. American
Indian births will increase by half.

The rapid increase in Hispanics
compared to other minority groups
will bring changes to America from
the classroom to the Congress.

“The mushrooming numbers
should translate into a much more
vigorous politiatl clout. with more
Hispanic members of Congress,"
said Rep. Jose Serrano, a New
York Democrat and leader of the
Congressional Hispanic Caucus.
“These are not abstract numbers to
us at all. They are a window into
the future."

Much of the increase will happen
in a few parts of the country, main-
ly California, Florida. New York,
Texas and the Southwest, said Wil-
liam O‘Hare, demographer at the
University of Louisville.

“If they‘re localized. they will
control more congressional dis-
tricts." O‘Hare said. “It means if
the country is 25 percent Hispanic,
they may have half the congres-
sional districts in Texas and zero in
the northern plains."

In the Census Bureau's system,
Hispanics are an ethnic group. not a
race. That means they include peo-
ple from all the racial classifica-
tions: American Indians, Asian
Americans. blacks and whites.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — In a
case that could have national im-
plications, a father is asking a
court to runove his son and
daughwr from the home of their
mother because her new husband
has AIDS.

Brett Newton, 30. of Shep-
herdsville, said in an affidavit he
is “very fearful of the health and
safety risks this disease condition
holds for his children."

But the children’s mother, Kel-
ly Riley.saidtherisksarcmini-

AIDS “as a smoke screen" to
hide his real motive: revenge for
her attempts to increase the
amount of time their daughter
spends with her.

Lawyers on both sides and Jef-

Congress passes stricter solution to military ban

 

By Donna Cessata
Associated Press

 

WASHINGTON —— The House
adopted legislation yesterday to
discourage homosexual enlistment
in the military as the Pentagon con-
sidered a delay in implementing
President Clinton's more lenient
policy.

By a vote of 301-134, the House
branded homosexuality an “unac-
ccptable risk“ to morale and ap-

proved the same policy adopted by
the Senate earlier this month.

The House action came as the
Pentagon considered holding off on
enforcing Clinton‘s policy on Fri-
day pcnding completion of the de-
fense budget by the House and the
Senate. said Defense Department
sources, who requested anonymity.

The administration has drawn up
three directives dealing with recruit-
ment. grounds for separation from
the service and investigations of
suspected homosexuals.

They are set to go into effect Fri-
day, but Pentagon officials may
wait to see what Congress writes
into law.

Votes on the contentious issue
came as the House continued work
on next year‘s defense budget. a
$262 billion package that is slightly
below Clinton‘s request and $12 bil-
lion less than this year.

The action came after the House
defeated. by a vote of 264-169. a
measure that would leave the issue
to the president's discretion.

Lawmakers also rejected an

amendment that would require the
military to question recruits about
their sexual orientation. The vote
was 291-144.

Eager to see the issue disappear.
the Clinton administration has ex-
pressed no opposition to the con-
gressional policy. describing it as
consistent with the president‘s.

Shortly after Clinton announced
his compromise plan on July 19,
both the Senate and Horse Armed
Services committees adopted the
policy crafted by Sen. Sam Nunn.
D-Ga., the Armed Services chair-
man who is a leading proponent of
the ban.

His policy makes no mention of
three major tenets of the Clinton
plan —' orientation is not a bar to
service, an end to witchhunts to fer-
ret out gays and even-handed en-
forcement of the Uniform Code of
Military Justice for homosexuals
and heterosexuals.

Nunn‘s policy lays out a series of
findings that military service is
unique, operating under niles not
found in civilian society. and homo-

sexuality creates an unacceptable
risk to unit cohesion and order.

The policy continues Clinton's
change of not questioning recruits
or service members about their sex-
uai orientation. but allows a future
defense secretary to reinstate the
practice.

Liberal Democrats have decried
Nunn's policy as more restrictive
than Clinton‘s, and conservative Re-
publicans have hailed it as “ban-
plus."

An analysis by the House Armed
Services‘ GOP staff points out that
Nunn‘s policy is exactly the same
as the ban that existed before Clin-
ton took office on several points, in-
cluding grounds for separation from
the service.

House members spoke out on an
issue that once galvanized the
American people but has largely
vanished from public debate.

Liberals portrayed it as a question
of civil rights while conservatives
argued that people who are openly
homosexual would undermine the
military.

“We‘ve got a lot of innocent kids
who don‘t understand the world,“
said Rep. Sam Johnson, R-Texas, a
former fighter pilot. “It's important
that we protect those kids. It's
something we owe the parents of
this nation."

Rep. Floyd Spence of South Car-
olina, the ranking Republican on the
House Armed Services Committee.
said homosexuality is incompatible
with the military, describing it as
“unnatural, immoral as well as be-
ing illegal in some states."

Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., who led
the Selma-to-Montgomery march
for voting rights in 1965. dc-
ncunccd the rhetoric of his col-
leagues as sounding “like the words
we heard in 1965,“ when the ques-
tion was whether blacks could sit at
lunch counters with whites.

“This member fought too hard
and too long to guarantee rights to
all Americans to stand here today
and see us vote to deny the rights of
other Americans." Lewis said.

But I keep listening to the Kiss
Me, Kiss Me. Kiss Me and Head on
the Door discs, hoping that Robert
Smith and his gang of manic de-
pressives haven't completely out-
lived their usefulness.

So, with blind faith, I popped tha
band's new live disc, Show, into my
stereo, hoping Smith would let
loose a little on stage and play some
innovative reworkings of old clas-
sics.

Alas. the days of the Cure's being
cutting edge have long passed, and
I'm facing reality. This album is a
stinker.

Actually, it‘s not that this album
is that bad. lt'sjust so stiff.

The group‘s last studio album,
Wish, sounded like the band had be
come mellow old men, doing a poor
imitation of the genre they, with
bands like Joy Division, had creat-

may seem fragmented. Then

“we are not alone, now." Vietnamese

Wish for more than half the album.
Unfortunately, the band didn‘t quite
get the kinks out, and it is per-
formed so straightforwardly one
must wonder if it is live or if it’s
Memorex.

The other half of the album con-
tains two tracks from [lead on the
Door, one from Kiss Me, two from
Disintegration and “Never
Enough," the only good song on the
otherwise repulsive Mixed Up.

All of the material is well-
performed to an extreme. The only
places on the album that aren‘t a re-
gurgitation of studio sounds are
“Never Enough" and “Cut."

I’ve always believed that Robert
Smith was at his best when he was
angry and/or teetering on the edge
of sanity, like on the choice cut
from the last album, “Wendytime”

bum, incidentally).

If anything, it confirms that he at
least has a pulse, unlike the band‘s
uninspired rendition of my favorite
Cure song, “In Between Days,"
which is played like the band is a
bunch of computers spitting out
bland versions of once-brilliant
songs.

:1 new character and follows that
character into another vignette. The
vignettes usually end with someone
or some persons trying or about to
have sex in some way or another.

“Chain of Desire" approaches
many topics in this age of sexual
confusion. Lopez's film deals with
subjects like homosexuality, sa-
domasochism, voyeurism and
phone sex, but ll adds nothing to
any of them.

Near the end of the film, we find
out that the only character who has
had sex in the movie might have
contracted the AIDS virus.

I left the theater afraid to ever
have sex again. But I want to have
sex again.

that six or eight games trun

and say the same thing.

Wooten's team stands at 3-3-2

Cats a 2-0 mark this year within
the friendly confines of Cage

field this afternoon at 4:30.
