Budget approved; state support declines

 

By Lance Williams
Editor in Chief

 

 

UK is the state‘s flagship public
university, but after the Board of
Trustees approved the Universi-
ty’s 1993-94 operating budget
Tuesday, former board chairman
William Sturgill questioned how
much longer the school could con-
tinue to claim that distinction.

In fact, because of falling state
financial support, he questioned
whether UK could continue to be
called a public university at all.

“UK is becoming a private insti-
tution,“ Sturgill said following the
budget vote. “This is supposed to
be a land-grant institution to serve
all the public with access for all of
our citizens."

The new budget totals $889.2
million, an increase of $34.9 mil-
lion over last year, but the part of
UK‘s budget to be funded by the
state during 1993-94 will drop to
35.3 percent — the lowest per-
centage in history.

During the 1991-92 fiscal year,
the state's share of UK's budget
was 46.2 percent.

Current board chairman Edward
“Ned" T. Breathitt, a former Ken-
tucky governor, said continuing
state support is essesntial for high-
er education in Kentucky.

“The public must see to it that
the priority of higher education
can‘t go down," he said.

UK President Charles Wething-
ton also was concerned over the de-
crease in of state funds.

“The (lawmakers) must under-
stand that we all must pay the
price. 1 want to see our policymak-
ers make higher education as a
higher priority once again. Right
now, there are no questions what
their priorities are,” Wethington
said.

UK made up for the shrinking
level of state support by using
money from tuition increases that
were approved by the Council on
Higher Education in February.

The tuition increase provided a
$15.8 million increase in funding
from students, bringing the total
amount of tuition and student fees
receipts to $109.5 million.

Student fees will account for
12.3 percent of the budget, an in-
crease of 18.1 percent over last
year‘s budget.

“I’m really concerned about
charging students more while the
state‘s contribution keeps going
down," Wethington said.

However, Kentucky was able to
hold off the tuition increase longer
than most states, he said.

Wethington said the quality of
education was deteriorating and the

Students said they were not sur-
prised when an alleged “Miami
Vice”-type drug operation was
linked to a campus-area bar last
month.

The Bearded Scale. 500 E. Eu-

being seized by Lexington police
under federal drug forfeiture laws.

Owners Reda Ghazaleh, 27, and
Mazen Shunnurah, 26, both of
Lexington. were arrested and ac-
cused of conspiring to possess co-
caine with the intent to distribute
the drug.

Both pleaded not guilty at their
Tuesday arraignment.

It received a 19.2 percent increase
in support from UK‘s affiliated
corporations. including an increase
of $16.5 million in grant and con-
tract activity for the Kentucky Re-

“This year we had a good indica-

able to find some external gifts and
grants." Wethington said. “We be-
lieve this budget will keep this
University in a sound financial
status and will address our most
important priorities."

Last year. the board didn‘t ap-

million for merit-based increases at
UK and in the University’s Com-
munity Coflege System.

Thirty new full-time faculty po-

ant general manager Rick Sparer
said.

UK will pay roughly $6,000
more than last year, bringing the
total subsidy to $290,000.

”lhat money will keep the six
buses that run during the academic
year and the single bus that runs
during summer session on the
road, Sparer said.

The board decided to start the
process of raising fares. Over the
next few weeks. the public will
have a chance to voice their opin-
ions about increases.

The board should make a final
decision no later than August.

Other action by the board in-
cluded placing a tax increase for
businesses on the ballot in Novem-
ber's general election. If approved,
the measure would increase busi-
nesses‘ tax burden by .25 percent.

The revenue created from addi-
tional taxes and higher fares would
not make up the entire deficit, the
remaining money would have to
come from some kind of realign-
ment of the LexTran‘s central
staff. Realignment could entail
cutbacks or merging of certain po-
sitions, Transit Authority Board
Chairman Neill Day said.

If the Transit Authority Board
has money remaining in its budget
this year. it may be able to carry
the funds into the next fiscal year.

Newman Center flood seen as
blessing in disguise for members

 

By Steve McSorley
Contributing Writer

 

When thunderstorms hit UK’s
campus last summer, five feet of
water and muck flooded the Cath-
olic Newman Center. But the
downpour also brought something
else tot the Newman Center — a
new beginning.

“It made us go back to what is
essential: Bible, people, bread and
wine." Noll said.

After one year, Noll said he
thinks the flood has made a differ-
ence in the people who worship at
the Newman Center. He said he

ple are more giving and under-
standing of others in need.

benefited him personally.

“I concentrated more on the ser-
vice than ever before. I use to look
around and see what was around
me during mass, but not anymore,"
Jones said.

Noll also said he believes the
flooding taught him a lot about
himself.

An example is his appreciation
for privacy. For nearly

of rain on the city in
about an hour.

The tremendous rainfall and a
poor drainage system surrounding
the Newman Center caused the
water to back up, dumping an esti-
mated five feet of water into the
building.

When the water finally drained,
the center had received water dam-
age that was estimated at nearly
$300,000.

To make matters worse, the
Newman Center has just under-
gone a major renovation, causing
the damage to be even more pain-
ful for the congregation.

The flood destroyed most of the
newly completed renovation and a
great deal of the equipment in the
Newman Center. Night office
manager Gina Davis and Noll
were made homeless.

Despite the damage, the people
banded together and made the
Newman Center stronger than
ever, congregation members said.

Since the flood, donations to the
Newman Center have increased to
help cover the repair costs. But
what impresses Noll the most is
that the donations made to other
causes have not decreased.

He also thinks his worship ser-
vices are more energetic and be-
lieves more people are participat-
ing in them.

life. He even said he thinks the

less. It has strength-

other people. But, above all, it has
allowed me to appreciate the good
that surrounds me," Noll said.

The flood also allowed Newman
Center officials to change some of
the building renovations at little or
notxtra cost.

Deviations from the original ren-
ovations included putting a stained
glass panel in the meeting hall.

Except for a few minor repairs
and some replacement books for
the parish library, the second reno-
vation has been completed.

“1 think it was God‘s way of tell-
ing us to make changes from the
original renovations." Noll said.

UK has to go out of state to build team

Brant Welch

Kemel Columnist

 

 

 

It has been five days since the
Tennessee All-Stars traveled to
Commonwealth Stadium and made
quick work of a Kentucky team that
was questionably called all-stars.

That may be a bit harsh. Tennes-
see was so good that they could
probably man handle any state on
the gridiron in a all-star match-up,
with the possible exceptions being
Florida and Texas, where football
players are born not made

 

The Kentucky squad was shut-
out 14-to-zip. But it is fair to say
they were out-matched. No coach-
ing strategy or particular blunder
sealed their fate. Tennessee had
superior speed, athletic ability and
power over their counterparts
from up north.

This may be discouraging to

years to come. Donnell Gordon.
the South Oldham running back,
had excellent cutback speed and
Kareem Dailey is good enough that
he could see action on the defen-
sive line as a freshman.

Travis Cozan. Remember the
name. Regardless of which side of
the ball this 6-2. 210-pound mon-
ster Tennessee recruit plays doesn‘t
matter, he will be a star.

Cozart was the MVP for Tennes—
see rushing for 59 yards on nine
carries. He was fluid and able to
overpower the Kentucky defenders.
It makes you wonder what they‘re
feeding those kids down there?

Is there any coincidence that dur-
ing the same time Tennessee has
gone 8-2 versus the Kentucky all-
stars since the series began in 1984
that the University of Tennessee
has went 9-1 against UK?

These annual all-star games are
glimpses into the future proving
Kentucky high school football tal-
ent alone will not ever bring UK
football out of the cellar.

Curry knows this. He went to
Florida and grabbed a promising
young quarterback in Matt Hobbie.
who is such an athlete that he will
play minor-league baseball as well.
He went to Georgia and came back
with the state’s best running back
(where they grow mnning backs
like they grow peaches) in Maurece
Williams. And Curry has to contin-
ue to do this if UK is to improve.

But why hasn‘t the state pro-
duced more football talent of late?
The quality seems to be there over
the last few years (Pookie Jones,
Damon Hood. Gordon) but the
quantity hasn’t and that was evi-
dent Saturday night.

As for now Curry will have to
keep strong connections in Penn-
sylvania, Florida, Texas, Tennessee
and other football states if UK is
ever going to be able to successful-
ly compete in the SEC.

‘Sleepless in Seattle’ is a love story that will make audiences snooze ’

The poster for the film “Sleep-
less in Seattle” asks the endearing
question: “What if someone you
never met. someone you never
saw, someone you never knew,
was the only someone for you?"

Well, all things considered, I
think I could live with it.

“Sleepless in Seattle” can be
simply summed up in one word: ri-
diculous. Make that absolutely ri-
diculous. Had this film been pre-
sented as a straightforward farce.
the premise would be far more
plausible. Although, as it is,
“Sleepless in Seattle" requires its
audience to believe too much.

In the film, Jonah Baldwin (Ross
Maiinger) phones a radio psychol-
ogist’s call-in show (which is on
every time someone turns on a ra-
dio in this movie). It seems that 10-
nah is concerned for his yuppie ar-
chitect father, Sam (Tom Hanks).

Sam has uprooted the both of
them from Chicago to Seattle to es—
cape the painful memories of his
recently deceased wife. Wanting to
hear more of the story from Sam's
point of view, the radio psycholo-
gist asks for Sam to be put on the
phone.

At first, thinking it to be some
kind of prank, Sam is reluctant to
divulge his feelings. With a little
coaxing from the radio shrink, Sam
eventually spills his remorseful
guts and warms the hearts of fe-
male listeners across the nation.

One listener in particular. Annie
Reed (Meg Ryan), is especially
moved. Moved to the state of ob-
session. Deep down she feels that
she and Sam were meant to be. She
goes to unfathomable lengths to be
with her destined mate who she
knows nothing about. On a whim,
she hires a detective and even flies
from Baltimore to Seattle just to

get a glance at Sam. Who has the
time or money?

Only in the movies.

I hate yuppie films. I especially
hate yuppie love films.

“Sleepless in Seattle" is an ex-
ample of the latter. So the film’s
central characters experience diffi-
culties in the affairs of the heart,
who doesn‘t? I find it hard to sym-
pathize with people who have
cushy jobs. beautiful homes and
perfect families.

Meg Ryan appears to be making
her career by these yuppie love
flicks. Her others include “Prelude

to a Kiss" and “When Harry Met
Sally.”

The single saving grace of
“Sleepless in Seattle" lies in the
hands of Tom Hanks. He's funny.
Unfortunately, he’s not funny
enough to save the film. His natu—
ral cometic talents aren‘t used to
their fullest.

The movie devotes too much en-
ergy to its sappy premise. Rather
than being the genuinely sweet and
humorously sentimental film it
could be, it comes off as sugar-
glazed and manipulative. It‘s a
waste of time.

' New budget laudable,

but students can ’t afford
to fill hole left by state

 

EDITORIAL

School officials who scraped together UK’s 1993—94 operating
budget deserve credit for preserving the University’s current level
of services, despite a continuing — and alarming — decline in
state support

UK’s new budget totals $889.2 million, an increase of $34.9
million over last year, but the part of the budget to be funded by
the state during 1993-94 will drop to 35.3 percent — the lowest
percentage in history.

During the 1991-92 fiscal year. the state’s share of UK’s budget
was 46.2 percent.

Amazingly, University budget wizards actually were able to
propose some salary increases and expanded faculty staffing.

A 3 percent merit salary pool will boost salaries in departments
across the University, preventing UK’s salaries from falling even
further behind those of its benchmark institutions.

UK also will add 71 new faculty positions next year, including
31 on the Lexington campus.

All of this did not come without some pain, however. And those
feeling the pinch worst are, unfortunately, the students — thanks
to a $16.8 million increase in tuition and fees.

To halt the now-annual assault on student bank accounts, the
University must develop a more equitable method to address the
decrease in state funding.

Even now, future cuts in state support threaten the Common-
wealth’s universities.

UK and the other state universities must begin to look else-
where for support. while increasing pressure on Frankfort for the
money the schools deserve — and desperately need.

One bright spot in this year’s gloomy budget is the $16.5 mil-
lion increase in the UK Research Foundation’s receipt of grants
and contracts.

It’s just a shame UK isn’t as successful in funding undergradu-
ate education as it is at finding research grants.

If it were, mediocre educations would be a thing of the past.

Dead Head arrests wrong

LouisvillePolice Department has more pressing matters

Don Puckett
Kernel Columnist

A tall man with long hair, a
beard and a Grateful Dead tie-dye
shirt walked up to the two girls in
front of me. He was carrying an ice
cooler and a sign that read “Drinks
51.”

the concert so that I could experi~
ence first hand the cultural phe-
nomena that has lasted almost thir-
ty years.

I had heard plenty of stories
about the “Dead Heads," but I was
anxious to see tens of thousands of
these nomadic, peace-loving,
1960s wannabes assembled in one

That‘s why I was angry when I
read in the newspaper that 120 of
my new friends were arrested in
Louisville less than one week later.

The Louisville police were out
in full force for the Louisville
show. Searches at the door. Search-
es inside the arena.

“But are you thirsty?”

“Well, yeah," she said hesitant-

He pulled a second drink out of
the cooler and handed it to her.

“if you‘ve got it. share it," he
said.

The tall guy made a peace sign
with his index and middle fingers
and walked away to find another
customer.

This was just one of the many
random acts of kindness I wit-
nessed dining my first Grateful
Dead concert at Buckeye Music
Center.

1 am not fanatical about the
Grateful Dead’s music. I went to

spot.

1 assumed these people knew
how to have a good time, and my
suspicions were continued.

The partying began hours before
the show and ended hours after-
ward.

Butthemost unusual thinglno-
ticed was how nice people can
sometimes be.

The number of people that came
up and introduced themselves to
me is too large to count.

I immediately felt like everyone
was my friend. Not one ounce of
hatred in the whole crowd.

For a few horns. my faith in the
human race was restored.

America's inner-cities
into urban war zones. Parents have
the constant fear of their children
being shot on the way to school.

Violence was the last thing on
the minds of the people I met at
Buckeye.

Everyone was too busy having a
good time to think about honing
others.

Sometimes when you look for a
problem, you create one. It just
seems to me that the Louisville Po-
lice Department should be able to
