Roselle wants
to give staff,
faculty a raise

By JAY BLANTON
Editor in Chief

Reflecting his priority for competitive
employee salaries, UK President David
Roselle announced yesterday that his Uni-
versity budget for next year will include a
recommendation for a 7-percent increase
in employee salaries.

“With the very serious competitive sala-
ry problems we have. our highest
priority is salaries.” Roselle told members
of the University Senate.

Roselle‘s budget recommendation goes
before the UK Board of Trustees in May or
June.

University employees received only a 2-
percent salary increase this year following
an austere state budget proposal from
Gov. Wallace Wilkinson and only a slightly
improved budget for higher education
from the state legislature.

That situation left University officials
fearing a mass exodus of its quality fac-
ulty and staff to other universities which
could and would pay higher salaries.

The salary raise and other increases
however. will not be extracted without a
sacrifice. according to Roselle's budget
proposal.

In order to help pay for the increase and
other programs. the University will have
to dip into its University salary savings,
which normally goes for departmental
needs. or into a yearend fund balance for
college needs such as equipment. graduate
assistants. part-time faculty and renova-
tions.

“Next year we are going to take a por-
tion of those funds and budget them up
front for our highest priority — salaries,"
Roselle said. “That‘s how we are able to
give a 7-percent salary increase. rather
than a 4- or 5-percent increase.”

Although the budget picture for faculty
salaries will improve next year. UK re-
mains behind its benchmark institutions in
salaries. according to Ed Carter. vice
president for administration.

The University currently is about $5,000
behind benchmark schools in faculty sala-
ries. and those institutions will be raising
salaries by an average of 5 percent next
year.

"This level of increase certainly will not
get our salaries to where they need to be."
Roselle said. "but it should keep us from
losing ground and might allow us to whittle
some of the salary gap away."

Roselle said monies for the salary in-
crease are coming from a “modest" $10.5
million increase in state appropriations.
and about $1 million from a 1- to 1.5-per—
cent increase in tuition.

Instate students currently pay $684 a se-
mester in tuition. ()ut—of—state students pay
$2,040 a semester.

The budget recommendation also calls
for:

- A promotion pool for faculty promo~
tions. and a 5—percent increase for grad-
uate assistants

0 A :l-perceiit increase for operating ex-
penses for all University operations.

. An additional $1 million for operating
expenses for academic departments, on
top of the $1 million added in 1988-89.

(‘arter said about $6 million will be taken
out of the salary savings Universitywide.
of which about $5 million will come from
thelexington campus.

Dipping into the salary savings fund,
Roselle said. is “to use an often used
phrase ... we are eating our seed corn.”

UK Senate endorses Roselle’s handling of probe

By JAY BLANTUN
Editor in Chief

The University Senate. in its first public
statement on the .\‘CAA probe into the
men's basketball program, yesterday
unanimously endorsed UK President David
Roselle‘s handling of the investigation.

The resolution. passed during a meeting
of the University Senate. said the Senate
“highly commends President Roselle. the
Board of Trustees and the Athletics Board
of Directors for the responsible and profes-
sional manner in which they have respond»
ed to the charges made by the NCAA . . ”

In addition. yesterday‘s Senate resolu»
tion ~ which includes several recommen-
dations to the president -.- also urges
Roselle. the BOT and the athletics board to
“hold accountable any employees of the
University and the Athletics Association

who are directly responsible for any
wrongdoing."

Last semester. t‘K Athletics Director
(‘liff Hagan resigned. citing the cloud over
the basketball program caused by the
NCAA investigation.

Joe Burch. a member of L'K's legal
counsel. was named interim athletics di-
rector. CM. Newton, currently the men‘s
basketball coach at Vanderbilt t’nivcrsity‘.
was named athletics director earlier this
semester.

Published reports also have indicated
that UK coach Eddie Sutton may have
been named in the l'nivcrsity‘ response to
the allegations against the basketball pro-
gram. Another report has stated that Sut~
ton would be fired short ly‘.

Roselle thanked the more than too mem-
bers of the University Senate at yester-
day's meeting for the endorsement. saying
“many of you have expressed your support

for a thorough. honest iiiyestigatioii or on
basketball program iiie .Tltl|\l(llliii1“t
and I‘m glad you‘re happy to cxpicss

do something as a unit, Catherine Shee-

The writing of “Daddy's book." A
Bright Shining Li‘e. however. would
span 16 years before the final manu-

“The optimum phrase in our house—
hold was. ‘When daddy‘s book is done
.. we‘ll get the sink fixed. we‘ll re-
model the bathroom. we'll take a vaca-
tion.’ "Sheehan said.

That familiy vacation ~ the first in
more than 16 years -— did not come
until last month. almost a year after
Neil Sheehan turned in the last manu-
script for his novel. which is based on
the Vietnam War and the life of one of
its better-known heroes — John Paul
Vann.

The vacation was a welcomed relief

able form of catharsis as be researched

For Neil Sheehan, who will speak in

family vacation only would have caused
him more internal strife by drawing
him away from his book.

“He would just never feel right or

he had this book to finish.“ (‘atherinc

“There were a couple of times when
we‘d be set to go. and he'd back out.
Then my grandmother or someone else

disappointed, yes, but it was better to
know that he had peace of mind. "

dents and Students for Peace and
Social Justice want SGA to call
upon the US. government to recog-
nize the state of Palestine and help
end the conflict between the Pales-
tinians and Israelis.

Young said it was "the graSs-
roots pressure" that has kept the
United States from invading Cen—
tral America. and he said he hopes
this same kind of pressure from
universuies and groups across the
nation could have 'a positive im-
pact on the prospects for peace in
the Middle East "

"We believe that our student gov-
ernment should take stands on for
eign policies because they are the
vmce of the students. and while
student issues are important.
things that go on in the world at-

fect all of us, and the student voice
should be heard,“ said Chris Bush.
also a member of Socially Con~
cerned Students.

Lyad Khalaf. president of the
Muslim Students Association at
UK, said that the media has paint—
ed a negative picture about Mus-
lims.

“The only time we hear about
Muslims is when there is killing.
We don‘t look at the other side," he
said. “Let‘s do something about
it."

Bush said that while the groups
were pleased with recent US. ef—
forts to talk with the Palestine Lib—
eration Organization, they think
that it is not enough.

"It was an interim stepping. . . .
We are saying, ‘bet's go the next

logical step and go ahead and rec-
ognize the Palestinian state,‘ “ he
said.

The groups approached College
of Engineering Sen. Joseph Elias
about sponsoring the resolution,
but Elias said yesterday he had not
decided how he stands on the issue
because he, like other SGA sen-
ators, does not know enough about
the issue.

Today in 228 Student Center,
Robert W. Olson. professor of Mid-
dle East history, will speak on
“The 1948 Arab-Israeli War and the
Creation of the Palestinian Refu—
gees.“

“The In years were a tremen~

“At the same time, they made us

a closer family. because I was al-
ways here tat home) to help raise
our two daughters.

”It" I had been a daily journalist,
I would have been on the road a
lot. While writing my book. my
daughters always knew where to
find me.”

After it; years. the research and
the book are completed. More than
2,000 books have been printed.

Maria works as an intern for The
New York Times. Catherine is a

sophomore at Wellesley College.
which is located near Boston.
Susan is on assignment for the New
Yorker. And Sheehan is pacified at
last.

“I set out to try to write a book
that would put Vietnam in perspec-
tive for my country." he said.
“I‘ve done the best I could. I am at
peace with myself. In that sense
the war is behind me. The war is
out of my system."

Chandler draws fire

Continued from Page I

Chandler’s resignation from the
BOT following last year's com-
ment, unanimously endorsed a
resolution yesterday expressing
concern over the comment, and
a pledge to look into the situa-
tion.

That resolution followed the
postponement of another resolu-
tion from Student Government
Association College of Engi-
neering Sen. Joseph Elias, call-
ing for Chandler‘s resignation
from the board.

Loys Mather, chairman of the
Senate Council, said there was
“obviously a great deal of sad-
ness and frustration over what
may have been said. "

But the council, Mather said,
was uncomfortable at this point
with endorsing the resolution
calling for Chandler‘s resigna-
tion from the board until the
quote had been verified.

“My only concern is we‘ve
just been through a resolution
supporting the president tin the
NCAA investigation of the men‘s
basketball program). . If I
thought passing this resolution
would lead to the resignation of
Chandler, I guess I would be for
it . . said Malcolm Jewell, a
University Senate member.
“I'm a little concerned that the
Senate not do anything at the
moment that would in any way
undermine the president."

The University Senate meets
again March 20. But the Senate
Council, which is the governing
body of the University Senate,
meets Monday and could speak
for the full Senate on the mat-
ter. Mather said.

The Student Government As-

 

sociation Senate will consider
the resolution at its Wednesday
night meeting.

“It is just another thing to set
the University back,“ said Ken-
nedy James, an SGA senator at
large and member of the Black
Student Union and the Black
Student Caucus. “It is an em-
barrassment to UK and the
state of Kentucky. People are
not niggers. They are human be-
ings."

Socially Concerned Students,
3 student activitst group, and
other organizations have formed
an organization called START.
Students Against Racism To-
gether. The group has proposed
a resolution asking Chandler to
resign from the board by March
8.

If Chandler does not resign
from the board, Chris Bush,
treasurer of Socially Concerned
Students, said the group will ask
Wilkinson to remove Chandler
from the BOT. If that does not
work, Bush said, the group will
seek a US. Congressional inves-
tigation into the incident.

“The statement is reprehen-
sible. The major unfortunate as-
pect is that it is a repetition. He
did it last year, (and: he turned
around and did it this year."
Bush said. “The man is unre-
pentant. These are his true
views, and we should not toler-
ate an official of the BOT to
maintain these kinds of views
and attitudes and state them
publicly.“

Information for this story also
was gathered by News Editor
Elizabeth Wade.

hard pressed
to do it. The
1988 Bat Cats
were the surprise of the country,
coming one game from advancing
to the College World Series

UK was a mystery then. But
after a high preseason ranking, the
Cats have their work cut out for
them now.

"We have to be optimistic. I feel
we’ll be good," junior shortstop
Billy White said. "When I first got
here. we were an underdog in
every series. I like the idea of peo»
ple gunning for us."

Along with a Southeastern Con
ference title. the Cats hope to add a
College World Series appearance in
their portfolio before the year is
over.

“We see participating in the Col-
lege World Series as a realistic
goal." Madison said. "We were
only two runs away from the Col-
lege World Series. Stanford won it,
and we feel like we could have won
it.”

“We have to be optimistic. I feel we’ll be good.

UK shortstop

The 23rd-ranked Bat Cats lost a
boatload of players, including All-
American outfielder Chris Estep
and first baseman John Marshall.
UK also lost four pitchers who had
combined to win 27 games.

The biggest blow for the Bat Cats
to overcome, however, is the loss
of senior second baseman Vince
Castaldo, who is out for the year
with a knee injury.

“When you lose a guy who led
the team it hurts," Madison
said.

Replacing Castaldo will be Roger
Gum, and Madison is hoping he
will provide the team with just as
much leadership.

”They feel confident with Roger
at second," Madison said. “Gum
was probably the best backup sec-
ond baseman in college baseball
last year. We were counting on
Roger anyway . "

Even with the losses, however,
Madison said he has plenty of tal-
ent at all positions.

In the pitching department, Mad-
ison will be counting on senior
right-hander Matthew Coleman to
be the teams No. 1 starter. Cole-
man, who was expected to blossom
last year, had broken a finger, but
he is expected to be at full strength
this season.

If UK is to have a successful sea
son, Coleman said the pitching r0
tation will have to keep its ERA
down.

“We have to keep the games
close,“ Coleman said. “Our pitch-
ers will have to come through."

Along with Coleman, Madison
said junior right-hander Rod Bolton
and senior right«hander Tom Deller
will battle for the No. 2 spot. Who-
mever does not start will be as-
signed to the bullpen. Madison
said.

Senior right—hander Itoy Bailey
also is looking for a spot in the
Wildcats‘ rotation following his im-
pressive showing in the summer
Central llllIIOIS Collegiate League.

Veterans make up the UK infield.
Senior Jim Dill and freshman Mike
Harris are the top prospects for a
starting position at first base.

Dill, who had a solid fall season,
makes a good case for starting
with his solid fielding and lead-
ership. Harris, a graduate of Lex—
ington Tates Creek High School,
has proved he has a solid bat.

Gum is the top choice for second
base, and the “hot corner" will be
patrolled by junior Darin Rieman,
who had the second most doubles
on the team a year ago. At short-

Looking to improve on last season's 38-25 record. the Bat Cats

stop, junior AllvAmerican White is
back for another year.

Sophomore Rick Norton and ju—
nior Keith Conrad are battling for
the starting spot at catcher.

In the outfield, two starters from
last year's team return. Mark
Blythe and Sam Taylor.

Blythe, a left fielder, is college
baseball's "best No. ti hitter,"
Madison said.

Blythe had the most home runs
last season and is expected to pro
vide punch to the middle part of
the Cats‘ lineup.

Taylor, a right fielder. swung a
potent bat last year with a hot .349.
