Hemenway unveils campus agenda

Plan establishes priorities,
calls for unity on campus

By C.A. DUANE BONIFER
Editor in Chief

Chancellor for the Lexington
Campus Robert Hemenway re-
leased a plan which he hopes will
help unify the campus and carry
it into the let century.

The plan is divided into 10
areas, including articulating va-
lues, conserving the campus' fi-
nances and streamlining the bu—
reaucracy.

The plan is based on the three
major points of UK President
David Roselle’s Strategic Plan for
the University. Roselle will re-
lease his plan at next week‘s
Board of Trustees meeting.

“This is a better university than
20 years ago (when he arrived).
80 the question now is, will we
have a better university 20 years
from now," Hemenway told about
225 people at the Worsham The-
ater yesterday.

Hemenway, who took over as
chancellor July 1. said he is “cau-
tiously optimistic that there‘s a
positive future ahead of us be-
cause of our positive human as
sets."

Hemenway said he came up
with the agenda because “it‘s use4
ful for the campus to know what
. . approach is going to be pur.
sued for the Lexington campus.“

“I think it‘s very important that
the Lexington Campus come to-
gether as a collective entity and
take pride in this entity. The Lex-
ington campus will be the key to
this strategic plan," he said.

Hemenway‘s agenda is divided
into 10 sections: articulate va-
lues; increase research; improve
teaching: alleviate the labor
shortage; internationalize the
campus; transfer the campus’
knowledge and technology to so-
ciety; develop the campus'
human resources; conserve the
campus‘ finances; improve the
campus' physical environment;
and establish priorities

“I think as a general rule I be-
lieve in the idea of strategic plan-
ning and having a kind of collec-

tive vision of how to accomplish
things, ” Hemenway said.

Another reason for the agenda
is to bring the colleges on the Lex-
ington campus together, Hemen-
way said. The Lexington campus
has 13 colleges, more than 20,000
students and more than 5,000 fac-
ulty and staff.

The details of the agenda will
be filled in later this academic
year, Hemenway said. A Chan~
cellor Select Committee will be
created later this semester by He-
menway to get ideas from the
campus on how the plan can be
improved and implemented.

While not all of the ideas will
require funding, Hemenway said
the committee will determine
which projects will need money
and where the funding will come
from.

“We don’t have a lot of money
around at the University these
days,“ he said. “We may need to
think of the brown bag rather
than the business lunch."

Hemenway said he hopes to
implement a final version of the
agenda by the end of the school
year

“By the end of the year we will
have agreed upon a version of this
agenda and we can proceed to try
and set goals," he said.

Setting priorities

Hemenway said the campus
must set its priorities and decide
which areas it will concentrate on
rather than trying to evenly dis-
tribute resources among all de-
partments

The campus should avoid what
Hemenway calls an "across-the-
board mentality." and instead ex-
cell in specific areas.

“We have to have the courage
to differentiate between the good
and not-so-good.“ he said. We
have to make our program to
compliment our resources so that
what we do will be quality. . . . If
we try to be everything to every-
body and we try to stretch that

Faculty and staff say proposal shows leadership

and GREGORY A. HALL

UK faculty and staff praised
new Chancellor for the Lexington
Campus Robert Hemenway yes-
terday for what they said is a vi-
sionary agenda he has set for the
University.

But they acknowledged that He-
menway‘s goals present a consid-

erable challenge that will require
the cooperation of the entire Uni—
versity.

“I think the chancellor has a
great desire to make this a com~
munity effort," said James
Kuder, vice chancellor for student
affairs. “1 think he's the kind of
man who will push us, and I’m
looking forward to that. "

More than 200 people, mostly
faculty and staff, attended the
“town meeting" in Worsham The-
ater where Hemenway extolled

e “human assets" of the L'ni-
versity and outlined a lopoint
agenda for the improvement of
the Lexington campus. His plan
includes articulating University
values, conserving fiscal re-
sources. improving UK‘s physical
environment. strengthening mi-
nority involvement, and increas—
ing the quality of teaching and re-
search,

“I think he hit the points that
were needed," said Dallas High. a

philosophy professor. “These are
things we need to move the Lex-
ington t‘ampus forward. No“-
what is needed is to fill those
thmgsin."

The somewhat reserved audi—
ence mostly sat in the back of the
theater and remained quiet when
the floor was opened to questions.
but during informal mingling on

Doctorate a lifelong goal
for Marguerite Davenport

By TONY BANDY
Contributing Writer

Marguerite Davenport is a doc-
tor in the College of Education.

At 86, she is only the second
person in the 25-year history of
the UK Herman L. Donovan Se-
nior Citizens Fellowship Program
to be awarded a doctorate de-
gree.

“It took a number of years . . .
it took longer than I anticipated.“
Davenport said.

But finally on May 7 this year
at Memorial Coliseum, Daven-
port. who is a great-great-grand-

mother, received a doctorate in
the College of Education.

Davenport said it was more
than just getting a degree — it
was the fullfilment of a lifelong
goal.

“I promised that if I ever got
enough time, I would work on my
doctorate degree, " she said.

Maude Higgs. Donovan Scholar
staff assistant, saw Davenport’s
dedication toward earning the de-
gree.

“She has really been dedicated
to getting (that) degree," Higgs
said.

_ Dead Or Alive lifeless on ‘Nude’

Fall packed with big-name tours

By CHARLES McCl'E
Assistant Arts Editor

Although the big summer tour-
ing season is over, plenty of
bands will hit the road this fall.
Among them are Gothic synth
wizards Alien Sex Fiend, and
Ministry frontman Alain Jour-
gensen‘s collaborative effort. Re-
volting Cocks Both tours will
kick off in October.

For those of you who are de-
vout fans of The Cure and are
willing to travel to see them.
they will be in Atlanta Monday;
in Durham, NC, on Tuesday;
and Williamsburg, Va., next
Wednesday. Shelleyan Orphan
will open. The Cure will be sup-
porting their latest album. Disinr
tegration.

This is The Cure‘s first major
tour and probably the band's
last. Lead singer Robert Smith
has said several times in inter-
vrews that this is the band‘s final
tour and album.

It‘s rumored that The Cure will
join Love and Rockets and the

Pixies for a few dates this fall
for a monstrous triple bill. Noth~
ing has been confirmed.

If you‘re still pounding your
head for missing Love and Rock—
ets in Cincinnati, you can still
catch them in Columbus, Ohio,
next Thursday. The Pixies will
open the show.

This is Love and Rockets‘ first
national medium-sized concert-
hall tour. The tour is a response
to the enormous success of the
band‘s self-titled album.

Through September and Octo-
ber the B-52‘s will play colleges
and small venues, fresh from
their tour of concert halls.

T.S.O.l.. will be in Cincinnati
next Friday and Royal Crescent
Mob will be in Lexington Satur~
day and in Louisville next Tues-
day through Thursday.

The Pogues will be in Nash-
ville next Friday and Saturday
and in Cincinnati Sept. 25.

The Call will be in Lexington
next Tuesday and in Louisville
next Wednesday.

All you headbangers out there,
Los Angeles will play host to the
Foundations Forum ’89, a hard
rock/heavy metal convention.
Gene Simmons of Kiss will be
the key speaker.

Among the scheduled perform-
ers are Steve Jones (formerly of
the Sex Pistols), Faith No More,
lcon, Princess Pang and Krea-
tor.

As for album releases, expect
to see releases from Skinny
Puppy and Peter Murphy. Ian
McCulloch, formerly of Echo and
the Bunnymen, just wrapped up
his first solo album since left the
band.

The Sugarcubes’ producer Ray
Schulman produced and McCul-
loch was helped out by various
members of Cocteau 'I\vins and
The Cure.

Other bands releasing albums
this fall will be Henry Rollins,
formerly of Black Flag; The
Alarm; Timbuk 3; Ranking
Roger, formerly of General Pub-
lic and The English Beat; and
Severed Heads.

Nude

Dead Or Alive
Epic Records
t

First of all, Dead Or Alive’s front
man, Pete Burns, must have the

biggest ego in music today (with
the exception of PiL's John
Lydon). If he thinks he can release
this garbage they so shabbily call
Nude and expect his fans to like it,
he either has to be extremely ego-
tistical or just lobotomized.

The first thing one notices about
the album is that every song deals
with love. Come on, there are
worse things in life than your girl-
friend dumping you and stealing all
your CD’s.

All the songs have titles like,
“Give It Back, That Love Is Mine"
and “Stop Kicking My Heart
Around." And not only is the sub-
ject matter old, but the music is all
too reminiscent of that embaras-
sing musical style we would all like
to forget — disco.

1 think deep down, Burns has a
burning desire to be Donna Sum-
mer. He has the hair, the makeup
and the music. Now all he needs
are breast implants and melanin
injections.

Nude has the quintessential in—
gredients of a Dead Or Alive
album. It makes excessive use of
synthesizers and it has Burns'
whiny howl in every tune. But what
makes it worse than the other al-

bums is that Burns actually tries to
exercise some diversity into the
songs.

“I Don’t Want To Be Your Boy-
friend" is a futile attempt at a jazz
piece and “Get Out Of My House”
sounds like Samantha Fox on ster-
oids.

Needless to say, the band never
achieves the diversity they so ad-
amantly try to create.

The band has strayed away from
what they do best — make shallow
love songs with a dance beat. Pre-
vious albums such as the greatest
hits album, Rip It Up, and Mad.
Bad and Dangerous To Know were
good because the music was high-
powered and the lyrics were
catchy.

I guess the title, Nude, is sup-
posed to imply a stripped down, re-
fined sound. If anything, the album
is superfluous and the lyrics repeti-
tive. The only thing stripped down
on this album is Burns. On the
cover, he is clad in only a G-strap,
adorned with flowers.

On Nude the band has crossed
the confines of good taste and gone
into pointless disco trash.

University kicks off

United Way effort

By JONATHAN MILLER
Contributing Writer

With opening cheers from UK
University
launched its campaign yesterday to
raise $366,000 for the United Way.
The campaign goal is a 5.3 percent

cheerleaders, the

increase in last year’s goal.

UK Athletics Director, C.M.

Newton, who was named honorary
chairman for the United Way pro-
gram, said he believes the goal is

within UK’s reach.

“I think the goal is realistic, and
will require a team effort by every-

one to attain it," he said.

UK President David Roselle

praised campaign volunteers.

“Central Kentucky has been good
to the University and I just want to

return the favor, " Roselle said.

Newton said he has been a long-
time supporter of the United Way
because of the important services

it offers.

“There were an estimated 928
UK employees that received help
from the United Way,” said Bob
Calafell, 1989-90 general campaign

chairman.

Mike Johnson, Interfraternity
Council President, said he feels
that fraternities can lend a helping
hand to the United Way’s cause.

“Fraternities are an untapped

resource, and have always been a
fund-raising leader on campus,"
Johnson said.

One of the highlights of yester-
day‘s luncheon was a film featur—
ing the stories of three local indi-
viduals whose lives were changed

 

The goal of this year’s
UK United Way
campaign has been
set at $366,000, a
5.3 percent increase
in the amount raised
last year.

because of services they received
from United Way. The film was
narrated by UK men’s basketball
coach Rick Pitino.

More than 300 volunteers cele-
brated the Bluegrass Central Ken-
tucky kickoff last week at Fasig-
Tipton with the ceremonial cutting
of a six-foot long hero sandwich.
Calafell joined cutting of the sand-
wich with 37 members of the cam-
paign cabinet. The sandwich was
symbolic of this year‘s campaign
theme “Heroes Helping
Heroes.”

The goal of this year’s Bluegrass
Central Kentucky campaign has
been set at more than $5.7 million,
a 6.5 percent increase in the
amount raised last year.

According to Calafell, meeting
the goal is necessary to continue
funding basic services provided by
the 165 United Way agencies in the
Bluegrass region of Central Ken-
tucky.

Is it Gouda? Expert
offers tips on cheese

By'nos'NA OSBURN
Contributing Writer

Visitors to UK on Saturday had
the opportunity to sample some of
the world's finest cheeses during a
Saturday Seminar titled “Selecting
High Quality Cheeses." C.L. Hicks
of the animal sciences department
spoke on how to tell a good cheese
from an average cheese and on the
origins of many different cheeses.

According to Hicks, the eyes in
Swiss cheese, which are caused by
gas formation, should shine. If they
dbn’t, the cheese will have an off
flavor. Another caution was that
the eyes should not be broken be-
cause that also is an indication that
the cheese will have an odd flavor.

Cheddar cheese should not have
gas pockets at all. Cheddar will
have an off flavor if it has gas
pockets.

Hicks said that the Wisconsin
stamp was an important to look for
when buying American cheeses.
The Wisconsin stamp means that
the cheese has a grade A. the high-
est ranking. ‘

Some cheeses use milk that has
not been pasteurized. When buying
such a cheese. look for a mark that
says it has been aged for more
than 60 days.

The moisture content of a cheese
determines how long it can age,
Cheeses such as Ricotta, which ha:
60 percent moisture, aren’t aged
for more than a few weeks. Ched-
dar, with its 37 or 38 percent mois-
ture, can be aged for three years
before hitting its peak.

Although it is named for the vi]-
lage in England where it was first

made, Cheddar is often called
American cheese. The United
States produces almost 1.3 billion
pounds of the yellow cheese each
year, accounting for 67 percent of
all cheese made in the country.

Colby is a cheese which is simi-
lar to Cheddar, but is softer and
has a higher moisture content.

A French law limits the use of
the name Roquefort to cheese
made from ewe's milk and aged in
the caves of Roquefort, near the
village of that name.

Stilton, like Roquefort, is a blue—
veined cheese. Stilton is manufan
tured from cow's milk instead of
sheep’s milk and has been made
since about 1750. Making any of the
blue cheeses requires the use of the
Penicillium roqueforti mold.

Monterey cheese, or Monterey
Jack. was first made on farms in
California in the 1800s. it was man-
ufactured on a larger scale in
about 1916.

The cheese which is called Swiss
in the United States is called Em-
mentaler in Switzerland. Swiss
cheese is recognized for the holes,
or eyes which give it a distinctive
look.

Kentucky is ranked 13th is
cheese production in the United
States. Wisconsin is ranked first.
According to Hicks, there is “more
cheese research in Kentucky than
anywhere in the world." The pri~
mary focus of the research is to-
ward increasing cheese yield in va-
rious ways.

Hicks said that there are two
large cheese plants in Kentucky —
one Glasgow and one in Leichfield.

through the Donovan Scholars
helped Davenport in achieving her
goal.

“The Donovan program helped to
prepare me for some of the de-
mands (of classes). (They have) a
very supportive staff," Davenport
said.

Graduating with a 3.86 overall
grade point average with full class
loads, the Donovan Scholar said
that she did not have any problems
returning to the classroom.

“I felt happy being back in class.
I didn’t have any problems adjust-
ing," Davenport said. “Sometimes
I wonder how I made it."

The Philadelphia native initially
did not plan on going to college, but
she said she decided to try it for a
year.

After a change of heart, Daven—
port earned a bachelor's degree
from Tennessee State University in
1934 in social sciences and a grad-
uate degree in higher educational
guidance from the University of
Pennsylvania in 1943.

In 1971 Davenport decided that
the time had come to continue her
studies. So she retired early and
enrolled in the Donovan program
to get her doctorate.

The Donovan Scholar comiders
her zoo-page document “a true
labor of love,” after to years of re-
searching the topic and five years
of writing.

The theme of her dissertation,
“The Donovan Scholars Program:
Its Past, Present, and Future,"
was meant to help people better
understand the Donovan program
and its goals, she said.

Her love of learning and helping
others, Davenport said, was dem-
onstrated as she began helping UK
students who were in danger of
failing out of college.

It was through helping those stu-
dents and her background in edu-
cational counseling psychology that
provided Davenport with a founda-

tion for her dissertation.
With her doctorate finally
achieved, Davenport said she

hopes to complete a follow-up study
on the marginal students she

helped.

Amy Brennan and Judi Kemper begin the University's United Way

effort yesterday.

Calafell challenged the volun-
teers to aim higher than the cam-
paign goal so the United Way could
add to and expand its services. .

Last week it was announced that
nine corporations gave more than
$628,653 to the campaign.

By Sept. 28 officials hope to
reach 29 percent of the goal.

More than 8,500 volunteers will

work in the eightcounty drive.
which is scheduled to end Nov. 22.

"UK has raised $16,000 already
in contributions so far from the ad—
ministration," said Amy Brannen,
cochairperson for the United Way.

Professor researching
11th century ‘Beowulf’

By JULIE ROWLAND
Staff Writer

A UK professor is making a con-
tribution to literary history by try-
ing to decipher a nearly illegible
text of an early manuscript of the
classic Old English epic poem
“Beowulf "

Kevin Kiernan, chairman of the
English department, used equip-
ment in the Cardiology Lab at the
Albert B. Chandler Medical Center
to see the text more clearly.

“There‘s a page that can‘t be
clearly read. The equipment I use
has an image processor. and it
helps you see the contrast better.“
he said.

The 11th century manuscript.
which is housed at the British l.i~
brary in London. tells the tale of
Beowulf, a warrior hero who jour-
neys to distant lands fighting evil.
Kiernan was able to videotape pas-
sages from the "Beowulf" manu-
script in cooperation with library
officials and Kontron Electronics. a
British computer firm.

He then used image—processing to
enhance the video image in order
to read the "lost" portions of text.

Kiernan. who has been working
on this diplomatic edition of the
manuscript Since 1985. said that
image processing takes a picture of
an object and converts it into dig-
its. This data can then be manipu—
lated before being converted back
into a visual format

The new pictures are in different
shades of grey which help sharpen

images and make differences in
them more distinct.

This technology is also used to
sharpen up out-of-fOcus photo-
graphs, Kiernan said.

The UK Med Center uses image—
processing to improve diagnostic
images of organs which are
obscured on an X-ray.

“Image processing can be used
to read obscure passages in any
manuscript. l wanted to do it main-
ly so i could read it." he said

In his book, Beowulf and the Beo
wulf Manuscript, Kiernan asserts
that the epic poem was written in
the 11th century. rather than the
8th century, as earlier scholars be
lieved.

“Some English scholars had

and his book." said David Durant.
vice chairman of the English de
partment.

Kiernan relates his findings

er book, The Thorbm'in Transrr ipts
ofBeowulf.

“Thorkelin is an 18th century
scholar from Denmark." Kiernan
said. “He was the first editor of the
poem. The transcripts he made are
really invaluable ”

Kiernan says he has a special in
terest in the poem and he thinks
that most English students do also

”iBeowulfi is considered by stu-
dents of English literature to he
one of the most important poem ’
he said.

"i think he‘s gotten interested in

the church, that I would never
want to be guilty of the silence
that has sometimes marked our
actions in history."

()ther students also expressed
their perspective after the rally.

"After the revolution in 1949,
the government claimed they are
the servant of the people. The
government brainwashed people
that they should trust govern-
ment," said Sheri Q Pan. a grad-
uate student from China. "Many
of them believed the government
never could kill their own people
by tanks, by machine guns. I
don‘t think many of them real«
ized what could happen to
them."

What the government is saying
now is “our doors are still open
and we didn‘t do much to the
demonstrators," Shen said.

Shen went on to describe the
ways that the communist govern-
ment can use institutional con-
trol over Chinese citizens. He
said that the government can re-
voke privileges and necessities in
order to get people to fall in line.

According to Liu, the freshman
class at the University of Beijing
has been cut from about 2.500 to
only 800 students. In addition, all
students are required to serve in
the Chinese army after their
freshman year

Liu also offered his explanation
of why the Chinese
