we watit them to be able to do that.
We think this is a worthwhile or-

United Way campaign
gets off to ‘good start’

 

By Lance Williams
Contributing Writer

 

The first results are in. and the
figures are optimistic for the lini-
versity‘s United Way catnpaign.

As of yesterday. contributions
from 45 UK faculty and staff mem-
bers involved iii the Leadership

(‘ampaign totaled more than
513.000.
The goal for the campaign. which
began Thursday. is more than
$460,000.

"'Ihis is a good start for us." Su-
san Byars, UK campaign co-
chairwornan said.

The early figures are welcome
news for United Way of the Blue-
grass‘s campaign workers. who
have beeii trying to counteract 2uiy
negative views of the United Way
that may have stemmed from the
controversy involving Willitun A.
Artunony. tonner president of the
United Way of America. said
(.ieorge Ileam. president of the
timed Way of the Bluegrass.

The controversy earlier this year
involved charges of misappropria-
tion of funds by the fonner presi-
dent

Ar2unony was dismissed from his
[xist after being charged With pad-
ding his salary.

Local officials have made it a
point to assure the public that the
problems in the national organi/a-
tion have been dealt with according-
ly.

“The message is that (the national
organi/ation) has cleaned up its

act." said Bob Clay. residence hall
director and vice chairman of the
United Way committee for student
giving.

United Way of the Bluegrass.
along with local United Way orgzui-
i/ations nationwide, withheld dues
and called for refonn after this sum-
mer‘s controversy. In addition to re.
placement of the president. the na-
tional board was slashed by fifty
members and members of local
boards nationwide were added.

Local members will give the na-
tional board ideas to better serve the
communities.

Bluegrass and University United
Way officials are confident that. de-
spite the problems. everything has
been corrected.

“We anticipate a good campaign
with a minimum of problems."
lIearn said. The biggest problem
will probably be the local economy
because many companies have
downsized. merged or moved. he
said.

“If someone wants to try to pun-
ish the United Way of America.
then they are just hurting the people
of the Bluegrass. who are in as
much need as ever.“ Byars said.

“Students have been very suppor»
five with their time and resources."
(‘Iay said. “The residence halls are
quite supportive of the effort."

merits, including six former
legislators, and seven guilty
pleas with another expected.‘

According to state and fed.
eral records. Brown was
pleaded guilty in Knox Circait
Court in November 1990 to
cultivating marijuana for sale.
He was sentenced to a year in
prison. Brown went to jail on
Nov. 9, 1990.

The indictment alleges that
Smith solicited $3,750 from
Mrs. Brown on Feb. 11. 1991.
in return for Smith‘s efforts to
gain an early parole for
Brown.

Records show Brown, now
51. was paroled on April 9.
I991.

Parole Board Chairman
John Ronda said the case was
not unusual because Smith
had no serious criminal
record, was sentenced to only
a year and was facing federal
criminal charges.

”This is not a heavy duty
situation,” Runda said.

Breathitt

Continued from Page 1

“an incredible period in the Univer-
sity's history.“

“He had the leadership ability
and the ability to fund." ()berst
said. “It was really a great four
years that he had.“

'l'hough ()swald. who came to
UK from the University of (‘alitor-
nia. initiated most of the new plans.
the former president said it would
have been difficult to enact those
plans without Breathitt.

“When you make a lot of clnutge.
you're going to cause some flack.
especially when you‘re new from a
different state." ()swald said. “You
need all the support :urd encourage-
ment you can get. (iov. Breathrtt
certainly gave very much of that."

Those who worked with Breathitt
during his first term as chairman
said he had the perfect reinpenr
merit for the job.

“lle’s certainly not impetuous or
easily excited." (‘ochran said.
“He‘s cairn. straightforward and
pretty easy-going."

"He's one of the nicest men he
ever rtiri across." said Ralph Ange-
lucci. vice charnnan of the board
during Breathitt‘s term.

After his term as govenior ended.
Breatliitt continued to be involved
in higher education. He was ap-
pointed by' fonner (iov. John Y.
Brown Jr. to serve a short term on
the [TR board betore being named
to the state (‘ouncil on Higher i‘itlll‘
cation. He also worked tor the
Southern Regional l-dtication
Board.

He. along with lornier (iov
l.ouie Nunn. was appointed to the
Morehead State l‘niversity and
Kentucky State l’mversity hoarrls
of regents to resolve lingering lead-
ership conflicts at the institutions.

(iov'. Brereton Jones appointed
Breatliitt. along with six other new
members. to the l 'ls' board June 30.
fire openings on the board were
created by a law reconstituting all
the public higher education govern-
ing boards in the slate.

lior years. higher education advo—
cates lamented governors‘ using
board seats as political plums. Ac-
cusations of decisions railroadcd
from liraiikl’ort were not uncom-
tnon as presidents cattle and left.

The latest political trustees con»
troversy was the self-appointment
of former (iov. Wallace Wilkinson
to the [3K board.

Breathilt said the new board will
be able to put the sometimes~rocky
history of the old bozutl behind.

“I don't terirl to dwell on what
happened in the past." he said. “l
think now the board is united. I
think there‘s a real strong feeling of
unity and support for tl'Ki I’resi
dent ((‘harlesl Wethington."

Breatlntt said he wants the board
to give ftill backing to Wething-

ton's agenda. The former governor
said his job as chairman is to sup-
port. not create. that agenda.

"I think the role ot the chainnan
of the board is to support the presi-
dent and the administration." he
said. "1 don’t think it‘s the role of
the board to try turd run the institu~
tion. It prov ides oversight.

"If the president and the adminis-
nation aren't dorrig their robs. then
it's the role ol the board to try and
tind a new president. lint until that
time. you‘ve got to let the president
and the l'niversity family run it."

Breathitt said his goals tor the
board this time around include see<
ing the completion of the proposed
central library. enriching the tactil-
ty. upgrading non-revenue sports
and eliminating racism on campus.

(‘urreiit campus administrators
said they believe Bl'L‘illillll will
make an evcellent chairman

“(iov Breathitt's a very active.
supportive person who really cares
about this l'nivcisity.” said Robert
llemenvyay. chancellor tor the 1 es-
mgtont'amptis. “I think the general
feeling of most people is that he‘s
an excellent choice to lead the
board :urd were honored and [‘ll\ls
leged to have him "

()svvald, who said he is still close
friends with lireathitt. said l'K‘s
trustees could not have chosen a
better chairman

"I‘m delighted." he said “ l his
bodes well tor l'ls' '"
