Discrimination cldinied
dfter tenure denied twice

By Jennifer Smith
A [winging Editor

An education professor who
was denied tenure twice has filed a
racial discrimination complaint
against UK. In his complaint,
Duvon “'inborne says he was not
granted a tenured associate pro-
fessor's position because he is
black.

In addition to the University,
the complaint specifically names
Itidith \Vorell, chair of education—
al and counseling psychology
department; and Daniel Reedy,
dean of the graduate school, as

defendants. VVorell and Reedy are
both white.

H. Wayne Roberts, VVin-
borne’s attorney, said these two
were specifically natned in the suit
because they “supervise that
whole tenure process and have a
great deal of influence on how
other (tenure) committees view
the applicants."

The complaint alleges that “the
plaintiffs performance and effi-
ciency reports were equal to or
better than similarly situated
white employees, yet the plaintiff
was denied tenure and promotion
to the position of Associate Pro—
fessor on or about April 13, I995."

Roberts said his client was
“recruited to UK to fill quotas and
requirements, but was never

allowed to move up like his white
counterparts."

“(The University) can go out
and recruit African-Americans
until the cows come home,"
Roberts said, “but unless you take
measuresto retain them, then
you're just creating a revolving

door policy ~ replacing black
with black."
VVinborne's career at UK

began in August of 1991. He was
hired by former College of Educa-
tion DeanJJohn Harris. In 1993,
the first question of \I'inborne's
tenure was presented to Harris. At
that time, Harris told \I’inborne
he did not think he was ready for
tenure review, Roberts said.

In _Ianuary of this year, his
tenure came up for review again.
Roberts said Harris was support~
ive of Winborne’s application for
tenure. Roberts also said many

other tenure committees and indi~
viduals from the college talked
highly of \Vinborne.

In tenure decisions, the appli—
cations go through several in—col~
Iege committees, the dean, a chan»
cellor for the Lexington Campus
appointed committee, the cham
cellor and finally President
(Zharles \Vethington.

Roberts did not say what part
of the process ended \Vinborne’s
second chance for tenure.

“From my review and from my
investigations, (\Vinborne) was
subjected to more criteria that
white professors are not," Roberts
said.

The complaint says that he was
subjected to these extra criteria
because of his race. Also, it says
the defendants do not have uni—
form, non—discriminatory tenure
promotion guidelines.

\Vorell, one ofthe defendants,
said she has never seen a copy of
the complaint. It \\ as filed in
Fayette (Iircuit (Iourt on Aug. lo
and submitted to the state Afton
ney (Ieneral‘s office on Aug. lts'. '

“(\A'inborne) can accuse us of
anything that he wishes .,. .iiid he
lias accused us of a lot, but until I
see something in writing, I cannot
comment," \\'orell said.

Reedy. the other individually»
named defendant, could not be
reached for comment last night.

UK Public Affairs Director
Ralph Derickson said UK declines
comment after a suit is filed.

“Once it goes to the legal
offices, our office does not make
any statements," he said. “\I'e wait
and let the facts present theme
selves in court."

UK has If) days from the day
the complaint is filed to respond

Heart Illllllll IlDt mate IDI‘ IIIE

By Jeff Vinson

Senior Staff Writer

A 33—year-old Harrodsburg,
Ky. woman who needs a heart
trans lant at some necessary
reliefpon uesday from a new
device that will assist her heart
while she waits.

She became the first patient at
UK Hospital to receive the
“Heart Mate," which supports the
pumping function of the natural
eart until a donor heart becomes
available.

“She wouldn't be here today
(without it),” said Dr. Michael
Sekela, chief of UK’s heart, lung
and heart-lung transplant pro—

days longer without the device,
Sekela said.

The patient is recovering in the
intensive care unit and is in criti~
cal, but stable condition after
Tuesday‘s 10—hour implant
surgery performed by Sekela and
his transplant team.

The 24—ounce, air—driven
implantable pump stands in for
the natural heart's main umping
chamber, the left ventric e. \Vhen
that ventricle is not strong enough
to pump on its own, the pump is
placed in the patient as a connec-
tion between the natural heart and
the aorta. It directs blood from
the heart into the device, which
then applies the force needed to

attack that weakened her heart
muscle. Three weeks ago her con-
dition worsened and resulted in
multi—organ failure. She was
placed on the heart transplant
waiting list on Au . 18.

The “Heart I ate" device will
allow her “to get in shape for a
good heart transplant," Sekela
said.

Ifall goes well, Sekela said the
patient should get stronger and
recover from surgery in two or
three weeks.

“We can remove a lot of the
drugs that were forcing the heart
(to work) and causing systemic
problem," Sekela said.

Even though she must stay in

Students without Ills should prepare for lines

Staff Report

Students needing new student
IDs should be prepared for lines.

Karen Doyle, student ID office
manager, said the system has had a
full year to get IDs made, but she
said there will still probably be a
wait for some students.

Those new students who did
not have IDs made during sum—

mer advising conferences had
them made starting Monday.

Last year, UK introduced the
new II) cards which serve as a
meal card, library card, student
activities card and a health services
card. The new IDs are automati—
cally validated.

“The ID is for the students’
entire stay here," Doyle said. The
old ID's had to be replaced every

year. If students have lost their ID
there is a $10 fee for a replace—
ment.

If a student has lost their ID
card more than three times, they
have to see the dean of students
before a new ID can be made.

Student IDs are available now
from ‘) a.m. to 6 p.m. in 107 Stu—
dent Center. Beginning tomor—
row, however, the office will be

open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

“If students have any questions
or problems (with IDs) this is
where they should come,” Doyle
said. If your ID is lost or stolen
you can also report it to any food
services cashier station.

Lexington Community College
students can get their IDs made
from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m in 121
Oswald Building.

UK New set to join
Bluegrass group

By Stacy Schilling

Slur] ll )‘iit'r

L'K's National Organization of

\\'oinen is looking for people on
campus who are concerned about
campus issues that relate to
women and want to help cut into
gender boundaries and is ready to
combine its voice with another in
the community.

uThis isn't a radical group of
women who hate men, btit a
group who cut across gender lilies
and helps to improve the system,"
said senior Laurie \Varnecke,
president of UK NUVV.

UK N( “V is joining the Blue—
grass chapter to help increase
membership and to accomplish
more of the group's objectives
'within the community.

Last year, N( )W' had a mem—
bership ofS to 15 people attend
meetings on a regular basis and
this year they hope to increase
membership with the help of the
Bluevrass chapter.

The only difference between
the two chapters is UK N()\\'
consists mainly of students, and
the Bluegrass chapter has a wider
variety ofages.

Bluegrass also has handouts
prepared for the meeting of what
will be discussed and minutes

from previous meetings. \\'liile
L'K just tises conversation to get
the ball rolling.

N( )\\"s biggest project for
this year is “Take Back the
Night," which happens in late
September.

The event's purpose is to help
make the streets safer at night.

(i()lllllllllilt}‘ groups, speakers
and music will help fill the enter-
tainment at uTake Back the
Night."

Last year's iroject was a benefit
concert held downtown that
raised money for local civic and
volunteer groups that assist female
rape victims.

NOW also plans to have more
on-cain )us projects which involve
safety, date rape and safe sex with
the help of resident advisers.

\Varnecke says she joined UK
NOW because a former high
school teacher thought \Varnec 'e
was feminist and NOW offered
her the chance to become a mem—
ber ofthe group.

“Once I got in N( )\V, I found
out that it was a group of women
working to make the system bet—
ter," \Varnecke said.

Students interested in joining
N()\\" can attend the next meet—
ing in 205 Student (Ienter this
evening.

Short-term loans can I!!! answer to money worries

Financial aid
is available

By Beth McKenzie
5/11”.” 'ritcr

The school year can often hold
a number of surprises for UK stu—
dents, some of them being less
than pleasant.

Suppose you find out that your
financial aid check has been
delayed and your rent was due
yesterday.

Just when you think there is no
where to turn, there may be an

alternative.

The financial aid office offers
short—term loans for students in
need of help.

The financial .aid office says
about 300 students were approved
for loans during the previous aca~
deinic year, for a total of $40,000.

Most of the requests were for
help with rent, car repairs or other
expenses.

“This is for true emergencies
(that may arise) which may impact
your ability to pay (normal
expenses)," said Linda George,
director of the financial aid office.
“It's for unplanned ex )enses.”

Especially during t e first three
weeks of school, the loans aren’t

ordinarily given for things like
books or rent. (ieoi‘ge said.

But there are instances when
the student is approved for help
during this time period.

There are. of course, certain
criteria throughout the year that
must be met by the student before
the application will be considered
by the L'niversity.

The student must be enrolled
fullvtime, tuition and fees iiitist
have already been paid, and the

Poor .\1oe.

After two seasons as the bread and butter of UK's
backfield, Maurece “Moe" \\'illiams appears danger-
ously close to losing his starting job.

The upstart ni )ping at his cleats is Ray .\1cLaurin,
a junior with two letters, who seeiris intent on staying
number one on the (Iats depth chart. McLaurin rose
to the top spot during spring practice when
\Villiams recovering from offseasori
shoulder surgery.

McLaurin certainly deserves credit. It can't
be easy to give a competitor like “'illiams a
run for his money.

But get real. A starting lineup without
\Villiams is like UK sports without basketball.

In just two seasons with the \Vildcats,

The list of contenders this year includes junior

of newcomers -»— hardly a group ofpassers known for
striking fear in the hearts ofopposing secondaries.

Face it. UK has never been known for its strength
at the quarterback spot. L'K has always been known
as a ball—control football team content to keep
the ball on the ground.

\Vhat top—notch quarterback would want
to sign with the (Eats only to hand offthe foot—
ball for four years?

Recruiting has also been a problem. All too
often the state's top passers have turned down
the (Eats. Take Jeff Brohrn of Trinity High
School and (Ihris Redman ofMale who both

The situation surrounding UK‘s football program

what recruiting guru you talk to.

Couch is being recruited by some of the nation’s
top football schools, including Tennessee, Auburn,
Penn State and even Florida State.

has reportedly said (Iouch could walk-on next season.

ing job for a co lege freshman, but Couch seems up
to the task.

Night's Run. a community event benefitting
(.entral Baptist Hospital. Nemad, who has

competed in the 5K race before, won with a
relatively slow time of 14:3 1.

The heat and humidity took their toll on
this year's field, with the heat index soaring
into the triple digits. ()ne rriale runner even
suffered a heart attack.

But the heat did not phase Nemad.

“I trained in (Ibicago, so the heat was not
so much a problem," he said. “1 lere it is flat—
ter, it is more like running on a track. That
makes it easier."

Nemad, originally from the former Soviet
Union, said he knew what to expect because

the race. His confidence level increased this
