Hill says he won’t resign CHE position despite controversy

By TOM SPALDING
Executive Editor

FRANKFURT, Ky. 4— The stu-
dent representative on the Council
on Higher Education criticized at-
tempts by some student body presi-
dents yesterday to have him resign,
calling their actions “immature and
ridiculous."

CHE student member Jim Hill
said he has no intention of stepping
down froin the position he has held
since July 1988 and scoffed at sug-

gestions that he
has not worked
close enough
with student
leaders.

Hill said that
he has offered
his support but
“obviously they
have smacked
that hand away. -
if that’s their in- HILL
tention, they can all go to hell.“

UK Student Govemmeiit Associ

ation President

Sean Lohman

said the Board

of Student Body

Presidents is

planning to

adopt a resolu-

tion sometime

next week call-

ing for Hill to

resign and for

ELDER Gov. Wallace
Wilkinson to appoint someone to
serve the rest of his term, which

runs until July.

The board could not vote on the
resolution yesterday because it did
not have quorum. Only three of the
eight student body presidents
Kentucky State University’s Corey
Bellamy, Northern Kentucky Uni-
versity‘s Scott Kappas and Lohman
— came to the meeting held on
KSU's campus.

Lohman said that most board
members support the resolution
calling for Hill's resignation.

Kappas celebrate 80th anniversary

By PATRICK CASHMAN
Contributing Writer

UK‘s Kappa Kappa (lamina so~
rority turned 81,) years old this week
and held several activities to cele-
brute.

The sorority. founded at Mori-
iiiotith College iii Monmouth. 111..
on October 13. 1870. is the second
oldest member of the National Pan-
hellenic Council Group. The Beta
Chi chapter was founded at UK on
February l0. Witt.

Kappa Kappa Gamma President
Katy Burke. a nursing junior. said
that others in the University com-
munity helped her chapter cele-
brate.

“We really appreciate the recep-
tion the University and the greek
community has given us." Burke
said. “The ads and personals in the
Kernel have been great."

The events held this week iti-
cludcd tying balloons across cam-

pus. a Valentine's Day luncheon
and a “wear your letters" day.

“Everybody in the chapter has
really been good about participat-
ing in all of our events “ said Sara
Phillips, an elementary cdiicatioii
sophomore.

Gina LaCharite. who has served
as the Kappa’s historian tor ll)
years. said she is proud ol the Beta
Chi chapter‘s accomplishments.

“We've provided the campus
with leadership throughout the
years and have always sponsored
wide range of campus activities."
LaCharite said.

LaCharite said that the image the
Beta Chi chapter has on UK has an
impact on the Lexington communi-
ty.

“The actions of our actives on
campus reaches out to the entire
community and not lust LIK.” La-
Charite said.

The week's highlight was last
night‘s “Greek Lip Sync" contest

the Kappas cosponsored With Tau
Kappa Epsilon fraternity.

the Kappa‘s proceeds from the
lip sync contest went toward its na-
tional scholarship fund and UK's
l’aruters for Excellence. The Tekes
donated their proceeds to the Chris-
tian Appalachian Fund.

“We wanted to share our 'dlllll’
versary With the whole campus
through the lip sync contest and we
feel it really ties the whole week to-
gether." said Johnna Schell, a jour-
nalism sophomore.

Another activnics is a tea with
alumni on Sunday. More than 700
Beta Chi alumni live in the Lexing-
ton area.

“We realize they are our found-
ers and we would not be as strong
as we are today if it weren‘t for
them." Schell said.

Schell said the sorority has sev-
eral strong points in regards to UK.

Campus program helping people kick the smoking habit

By CHRISTOPHER HUNT
Contributing Writer

After designing a program six
years ago to help himself quit
smoking Thomas M. Cooper wants
to help others kick the habit too.

Richard R. Clayton. a sociology
professor and the scientific director
for the UK Center for Prevention
Research, joined Cooper. an oral
health sciences professor, in 1085
to develop the groupcriented
smoking-cessation program.

More than 600 patients have en-
tered the program, active in hospi-
tals and other workplaces in Lex-
ington.

While enrollment in the program
costs 8500 it‘s siriall compared to
the cost ot supporting a smoking
habit. Cooper said. At 81.25 per

pack. someone who smokes one
pack a day will spend about
$456.25 a year.

A small percentage of royalties
are gained from the sale of a book
used in the program, but most of
the proceeds go toward research.

Lita Henry, who participated in

the program, annually commemo-

rates the day she quit smoking

“It’s kind of like your birthday.
You remember that day," Henry
said.

The results of the first Cooper/
Clayton Method to Stop Smoking
showed that 45.3 percent of the pa—
tients were non-smokers after one
year and 36.1 percent were not
smoking after three years.

No other program has reported a
success rate that high, according to

Cooper and Clayton.

The program runs for 2-1 weeks
and is designed for heavy smokers
-—— those who smoke at least 25 cigv
arettes a day.

The first two weeks are spent
charting the pattern of smoking and
determining how many cigarettes
the patient smokes a day.

For the next 22 weeks the patient
is given a nicotine substitute prod-
uct called Nicorette and their nico-
tine intake is slowly reduced over
that time.

Patients also attend weekly group
meetings during the 24-week pro-

gram,

“Behavior modification is impor—

tant in preventing a relapse,” Clay-
ton said. “l)uring the meetings, at-
tention is focused on identifying
and avoiding situations with a high
potential tor relapse, developing
skills for resisting periods of crav-
ing, coping Wllh depression and be—
reavement over cigarette loss and
other methods of relapse preven-
tion."

The program’s objective is to
gradually re-educate the brain to
think that Iero nicotine in the
bloodstream is normal, Cooper
said.

Cooper said that the meetings‘
importance is demonstrated by the
fact that most patients who do not
stop smoking failed to attend the
meetings regularly.

Hill says he won’t quit CHE

their philosophical differences over
the CHE student representative‘s
responsibilities. .,

Hill added th‘ he remains op»
posed to House Bill 60, a piece of
legislation sponsored by the board
and several state legislators that
would give students more say in
the selection process of the CHE
student member.

Hill claims that's where the disa-
greenicnt ends.

Btit student leaders say they
don't buy that argument.

“He‘s told me personally that he
thinks the student body presidents

are incompetent," said John Elder,
the board‘s state coordinator for
governmental relations. “The only
time he contacts (student body
presidents) is if it’s absolutely cru-
cial, or they call him.

“If he doesn’t think students are
competent, he ought to be working
with them, not ignoring them. He‘s
the connection with the council so
he ought to be the one to guide us
and lead us. He has not shown any
effort to do so. no matter. what he
said.”

After yesterday‘s incident. Hill
said that he probably cannot work
with the student body presidents.

“These guys ought to be spend»

irig their time doing something im-
portant," said Ilill. a third-year UK
law student. “It's ridiculous for
them to stir this kind of mess over
this.“

Hill said that he and the student
representatives had “been in step”
before the board decided to sponsor
House Bill 60.

He said that their efforts to force
him to resign are “idiotic“ and said
the student body presidents “ought
to be impeached."

l.ohiiiaii said the three names
stibrriitted to Wilkinson would not
necessarily be candidates for the
full term, btit he did not rule out
that possibility.

reference to the meeting in which
Charles Wethington was chosen as

to become the full president.

“political hand emanating from
Frankfort that seems to influencing
key decisions was more than ci-
thcr of them could take any long-
er."

Mary Sue Coleman was on the
selection committee that chose for-
mer UK president David Roselle.
and political science professor
Malcolm Jewell said he thinks Ro-
sellc’s departure this year may
have influenced her decision.

“My guess is she would have
been more likely to stay if Doctor
Roselle had stayed," Jewell said.
“She had a great deal of confidence
in him.

“You‘ve got great uncertainty in
the University right now about
leadership and the impact the
governor is going to have on the

University." he said.

The announcement of the Cole-
mans‘ departure has created some
uncertainty also about the status of
the political science department,
which has lost several senior pro-
fessors in the past few years, and
the likelihood of other professors
leaving the lTnivcrsity.

“I think that their decision will
prompt a number of people in the
department to reconsider their deci-
sions“ with regard to opportunities
at other schools. Yanarella said.
“There may be additional people
looking in the market and thinking
about leaving. The departure of a
senior person like Ken also has
very serious implications for the
character and quality of our under-
graduate and graduate programs."

And many of Cooper’s patients
agree.

“As a group we're very open, we
share the good occurrences and the
bad occurrences. The rest of us in
the group can learn from the exper-
iences of others,” said J ulane Line-
baugh, who smoked for 30 years
and has not had a cigarette since
last October. “This is the only way
I could have stopped. I know that."

Henry, who has not smoked a
cigarette in four years, was so im-
pressed by the program that she is
being trained to lead some of the
program’s group meetings.

The Cooper/Clayton Method
owes its success to three unique

7

qualities, Cooper said.

The first is that all patients who
report being smoke-free are tested
with a carbon dioxide meter, elimi-
nating inaccurate success rates.

“This study is unique because it
is one of few with a three year fol-
low-up," Cooper said. “Also, most
research shows that it is harder for
women to quit smoking. but the
women in our study had a higher
success rate than the men.“

Another reason for the program‘s
success is peer pressure, Cooper
said. Since the programs are admin-
istered in the workplace, the pa-
tients can watch one another and
reinforce what has been discussed
in the meetings, he said.

The Dean of Students Office
is accepting applications for
1990 Fall Orientation leaders.

Fall Orientation is sponsored
by the Dean of Students Office
to acquaint new students with
the University through several
activities coordinated by UK
students.

“I enjoyed the feeling of giv-
ing something back to the Uni-
versity,” said Tommy Meyer,
who was a student leader last
fall. “I liked being a helping
hand, and hopefully, I made col~
lcge a little easier and their
freshman year a little easier.“

Student leader applications are
available in 575 Patterson Office

for Orientation leaders

Tower and are due by March 9.

Student leaders are assigned a
group of about 20 stfidents.

Group leaders guide the stu-
dents through the orientation,
answer questions about the Uni-
versity, and attended the week-
end’s academic and social activi-
ties.

This year’s fall orientation
will be Aug. 18-20. The week-
end will include wpicnic that
will be attended by the faculty
and staff, a dance with live mu-
sic and “Lifestyles of the Young
and Healthy," a series of skits
dealing with alcohol and drug
abuse, date rape and sexually
transmitted diseases.

“If I could, I would do it
again," said Meyer, who will
graduate this spring.

“We stress individuality and would
like to be recognized and respected
for our accomplishments both in-
side and outside of the greek com-
munity,” Schell said.

Kappa Kappa Gamma originally
was formed as a fratemity because
sororities were illegal at the time.

Since then, the Kappas have es-
tablished chapters in throughout
the United States and Canada, La-

The Kappa Kappa Gamma
