Lexington Agenda subcommittees discuss progress

By TONJA WILT
Campus Editor

Another step was taken to unite the Lex-
ington campus when subcommittee mem-
bers of the Lexington Campus Agenda met
at a progress report meeting yesterday.

The 10 subcommittees were fonned after
Chancellor for the Lexington Campus Rob-
ert Hemenway unveiled a plan in Septem-
ber to carry the campus into the 215i centu-

The subcommittees' chairmen reported
that they expect to meet the May 15 dead-
line when each subcommittee must submit

five recommendations to Hemenway's of-
lice.

“I'm quite heartened by the progress.
From the initial reports it appears we can
have a significant impact,” Hemenway
said. “I feel like we are moving ahead."

Formed to determine the central princi-
ples of the Lexington Campus. the Values
Subcommittee has completed stage one of
its goal. which includes determining UK‘s
values by gathering literature and soliciting
comments from people within the Universi-
ty.
The subcommittee now is working on in-
tegrating each group's values into an over-

all plan.

To establish a national standard of excel
lcnce and increase external funding the Re—
search and Teaching subcommittees were
established.

Research Subcommittee members gath-
cred information on types of research at
UK and other universities, noting the ob
staclcs each type of research faces.

The Teaching Subcommittee has out~
lined 12 ideas suggested by campus taculty
and staff.

The subcommittee’s next meeting, which
is open to the campus, is 3-5 pm. Wednes-
day. Subcommittee chairman Mike Nichols

said he is still unsure of the rttccting's loca-
tron.

Science and engineering is a main focus
of the Labor Shortage Subcotiiniittce be-
cause of the expected shortages oi .s’c‘lt‘ll‘
lists and engineers by 2006.

The subcommittee reported that it has
gathered information on increasing the
l,'K's doctoral progrtuns.

The political and social changes in the
world have increased the importance of the
subcommittee charged with international-
i/ing the campus. The subcoitimittec has
created four committees to establish priori-
ties in this area.

The subcoriirtiittcc is looking irito esta-
blishing a residence hall on campUs in
which about hall of the residents would be
international students.

U.S. prepares for brain drain

USA TODAY/Apple College
Information Network

In the next 20 years, half of the nation’s
700.000 college faculty members ~— many
hired in the 19605 when resources. salaries
and opportunities attracted top scholars —
will retire.

Until now. college administrators worried
about replacing them, worried because gifted
students have increasingly looked outside ac-
ademia for careers because salaries are high-
er. Today, however. education leaders say the
worry may be for naught.

Prospects have never been brighter for un-
dergraduates aiming for doctorates to stay in
the classroom as teachers, they said. and they
will be snapped up to replenish the brain
drain.

Current undergraduates are sure to be a hot
commodity as schools compete for them, ac-
cording to lris Molotsky of the American
Council on Education.

Molotsky blames the current brain drain on
a period of retrenchment in the 1970s and
early 1980s that caused a dip of faculty in
middle management.

Eaming a PhD. has become more expen-
sive and time-consuming. In 1967. for exam-
ple. it took about 10.6 years to earn a doctor-

ate: today. it takes ab0ut 12.0 years.

Some administrators are moving to keep
qualified instructors in the classroom.

The University of CaliforniaBerkeley,
which still gets an average of ~10 applications
for every teaching position, is doing "pretty
darn well." said spokeswoman Roberta Aus.
tin.

Austin said Berkeley's strategies to avoid a
faculty shortage in the l990s include making
big money offers and offering to pay reloca-
tion costs.

The school also makes homeowner loans
and helps with spousal employment.

But some spots traditionally are harder to
fill. Faculty members for business schools
are particularly hard to hire — mainly be-
cause they are expensive, said Sandra Davis,
assistant to the provost at the L‘nivcrsity of
Arkansas.

Samuel Gorvitz. dean of the College of
Arts and Sciences at Syracuse liniversity.
said the business-related areas of mathemat-
ics and accounting will be sore spots.

But he said that he is not waiting to con—
front the problem. “if we know someone is
likely to retire at 67, we will hire a replace-
ment. But if he‘s likely to change his mind
and retire at 82. we are not likely to." he
said.

 

 

Cordless phones can tangle lines

Associated Press

NEW YORK - Cordless phones allow
people to chat while walking from room to
room or doing outside chores. but the con-
venience has a major hang-up: Busybtxlies
can eavesdrop on the conversation.

”People have to recognize that on any
type of communications device, the most
very, very confidential of conversauons
could be monitored," said Mark Rosenker,
spokesman for the Electronic Industries
Association.

“A lot of it is by accident. but you do get
some electronic voyeurism," Rosenker said
after the US. Supreme Court dealt with
just such a case. “The last thing you want
is a private conversation being monitored.”

Cordless phones are low-powered, two-
way radios. A base unit that serves as an
extension of a household phone transmits
and receives radio waves from the cordless
phone.

The ElA, a trade group based in Wash-
ington. D.C.. estimates that since cordless
phones were first marketed 10 years ago.
one in four American households has a

cordless phone. and sales remain robust

in 1088. there were 83 million units
sold. double the number in NW. .\ii esti»
mated 11 million will be sold this year. the
FIA said.

The units have a range of scucral litiri-
dred feet, which allows users to gab as
they walk through the house. or take calls
as they sit by the deck or work in their gar—
dens. There's no cord to tangle or trip
over.

“They've become extremely popular.
You can take them just about anywhere.
You always have it at your fingertips," said
Cynthia Upson of the EM.

But because the radio w mes trasel
through the air. a neighboring phone tuned
to the same frequency can iiittrecpt con-
versations and tell when a rtciglitsii's call is
coming in or out.

Conversations can be picked up on AM
or FM radios. televrsion sets or nursery
room monitors designed to keep an elec-
tronic ear open to babies.

sion requires vendors to tell customers that

Service held for law student

Professor’s book gives stuc

By GENE DOBSON
Contributing Writer

Young Kentucky students who
don't know Berea from Bowling
Green may increase their knowl
edge of Kentucky geography with a
new book that a UK professor
helped prepare.

Stanley Brunn. a geography pro-
fessor. said he thinks the book.
Kentucky: A Geographical and
Historical Perspective. will provide
teachers with a comprehensive text

they can use in the classroom.
something he said has been missing
until now.

The book, the first in a series of
geography books to be published
soon. has been sent to all of Ken-
tucky's fourth-grade teachers and
to each school‘s library.

The sleek spiral-bound book con-
sists of five units which have lesson
plans to help teachers plan activi—
ties. It also contains the work of
noted Kentucky photographer
James Archambeault.

“it is a successful collaborative
effort. and we are very pleased with
it.“ Brunn said. “But it is only the
first step. We will be following it
tip with graduated volumes for the
fifth and sixth graders."

Brunn said the book will broaden
students‘ geographic perspectives
through a “focused program.“

“It's not just studying maps." he
said. “This study of geography ins
volves math. music, social studies.
science. English and all the subjects
taught in upper levels of clemen-

tary school."

The venture was made possible
by a joint effort bctw ccn the Na;
tional Geographic
Washington. D.(‘.. the Kentucky
Education Foundation. the Ken-
tucky Dcpartriicnt of liductitiori and
the Kentucky Geographic Alliance.

The proicct began after the Na-
tional Geographic Society‘s ”Int“

NCAA Tournament killing oddsmakers, office poolers

 

This is ridiculous. It‘s getting
way out of control. The NCAA
Tournament is killing the Vegas
bookmakers. Instead of the bookies
banking millions on the NCAA
Tournament. they‘re handing out
all of their funds.

But the people in Vegas are not
the only ones being bathed on the
tournament. Those of us in office
pools are sufferingjust as well.

Being a favorite to win the office
pool, I'm hurting. and others are
laughing their butts off. After a 27-
5 first round record. I was feeling a
little cocky.

But then. lightning hit. Like
many others. I hit the canvas in the
second round — 10-6.

Bam.

And if not for picking Loyola-
Marymount and Alabama to upset
Michigan and Arizona, I think sui-
cide would have been my only al-
ternatlve.

Parity in college basketball is
not the reason for the large number
of upsets in the tournament. I think
the Baptists are the cause: It‘s their
way of teaching all of us bettors a
lesson.

Now don't get me wrong. I like
the competitiveness of the touma—
ment. but only if the team I picked
wins.

After going 37-11 in the first
two rounds of the tournament, I
find myselfthree games behind the
leader of the office pool. Hopefully,
the gods will be kind to me in the
regionals beginning today.

EAST REGIONAL in East Ru-
therford, NJ ., today and Saturday.

~No. 1 Connecticut (30-5) vs.
No. 5 Clemson (26-8).

Clemson is the underdog in this
one, but the Tigers are not the
greatest defensive team in the coun-
try. Connecticutjust might be. The
Huskies play ferocious defense.

If Clemson can get on the fast
break enough times, they have a
chance to send the top seed home.
Winner: Connecticut.

No. 3 Duke (26-8) vs. No. 7
UCLA (22—10).

UCLA’s upset of Kansas (my
pick to go to the Final Four) was a
fluke. If the referee had called Don
McLean for walking, the layhawks
would have squeaked by. After beat-
ing the best motion offense in the
country, UCLA must now face
Duke. the second best.

UCLA must hope Duke is over-
confidcnt. which is unlikely. Win-
ner: Dulce.

Connecticut vs. Duke. The Blue
Demons will have problems with
Connecticut’s defense and make a
multitude of turnovers.

To the Final Four: Connecticut.

MIDWEST REGIONAL in Dal-
las. today and Saturday.

-N0. 8 North Carolina (21-12)

 

 

“Materialistic ideals
have failed to satisfy
the needs of mankind."

"Religious strife is
increasingly abhorrent
to the people of all
faiths and no faith."

-from the Baha'i
statement on peace
271-6211

 

 

vs. No. 4 Arkansas (28—4).

The injury to Carolina forward
Kevin Madden will hurt the Tar
Heels because Madden and point
guard King Rice are the only UNC
players that match up well with Ar-
kansas.

If Arkansas can keep the ball out
of Rice’s hands on their full—court
press, they will win the game go-
ing away.

Look for Carolina‘s dream to
come to a screeching halt in Dallas.
Winner: Arkansas.

0N0. 6 Xavier (28-4) vs. N0. 10
Texas (23-8).

This is the only game which I
did not pick at least one of the par-
ticipants. Purdue and Georgetown
should be playing. The key to the
game will be which team is men-
tally ready to play because both are
coming off big upsets.

Texas relies too much on its
guards, and the Musketeers have a
solid perimeter defensive team.
Winner: Xavier.

-Arkansas vs. Xavier. This is a
good matchup. Both teams are
guard-strong, but do not rely solely
on them. Arkansas has more exper-
ience, but the Musketeers have the
upset bug.

To the Final Four: Arkansas.

WEST REGIONAL in Oakland,
Calif, tomorrow and Sunday.

-No. 1 UNLV (27-8) vs. No. 12
Ball St. (26-6).

Vegas was my pick to finish run—
ner-up to Oklahoma. And since Ok-
lahoma is out of the tournament,
the Runnin‘ Rebels will take the
title. Ball State is the lowest seeded
team remaining. They have upset
two Top 25 teams —- Oregon State
and LouiSVille — but don't look
for a third.

Ball State’s only hope is that Ve-
gas gets into serious foul trouble,
early. Winner: UNLV.

-No. 11 Loyola Marymount (25-
5) vs. No. 7 Alabama (26-8).

This is one of the best matchups
in the regionals. Alabama is a de-
fensive-oriented team, while Mary-
mount is the most offensive-
minded team in the history of col-
lege basketball.

Neither team has had a close
game yet. Alabama has dismantled
every team it has faced in postsea-
'on. while Marymount has de-

stroyed all since the unfortunate
death of Hank Gathers.

If Alabama can keep Mary'nount
under 100 points, it has a big edge.
If not, Marymount gets the nod.
Winner: Alabama.

-UNLV vs. Alabama. This is a
two-point game. Alabama matches
up with the Rebels better than any-
one in the tournament. This could
be the best game of a tournament
filled with great games.

To the Final Four: UNLV.

SOUTHEAST REGIONAL in
New Orleans tomorrow and Sun-
day.
No. 1 Michigan St. (28-5) vs.
No. 4 Georgia Tech (26-6).

Besides UNLV. Tech is my only
Final Four pick left. The guard trio
of Dennis Scott, Brian Oliver and
Kenny Anderson is unbelievable.

As LSU knows, these three
eventually will get the hot hand
from the three-point line and then
it's all over. Michigan State,
which should not have been a No.
1 seed. has to feel lucky even to be
this far. Both Murray State and
Cal-Santa Barbara should have beat
the Spartans.

If the Tech trio are not hitting
the three-pointers (for the first time
this season), the Spartans can win.
If they are hot, it’s a blowout.
Winner: Georgia Tech.

-No. 6 Minnesota (22-8) vs. No.
2 Syracuse (26-6).

This is an interesting game be-
cause you never kn0w which Syra-
cuse team will show up.

The Orangemen have the capabil-
ities of winning the tournament
but also have the capabilities to
lose to Berea.

Minnesota has had two close
games against lower seeds — No.
11 UTEP and No. 14 Northern
Iowa — and the Golden Gophers
have not played up to their abilities
yet.

After two good games, Syracuse
is way overdue for a let down, and
after two mediocre performances.
Minnesota is primed for a big
game. Winner: Minnesota.

Georgia Tech vs. Minnesota.
This one could get ugly unless
Golden Gopher guard Willie Burton
catches fire and the Minnesota in-
side attack picks up the slack.

To the Final Four: Georgia

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. — Indiana
State University designated hitter
Dave Fernandez doubled home De—
metrious Dowler from second base
in the bottom of the ninth to give
Indiana State an 8-7 victory over
the UK baseball team yesterday at
Sycamore Field.

The loss dropped UK to 13-4 on

Lenny Kravitz rocks Cincy
crowd from ’605 to ’90s

By MICHAEL L. JONES
Editorial Editor

Lenny Kravitz came to Bogart’s
in Cincinnati Tuesday night armed
with a funky band and a killer debut
album, Let Love Rule. He left with
more than 400 new disciples.

“You wanna stay in this world of
music and life/You got to turn
around/spread a little love and get
high." Kravitz sings in “Sittin’ On
Top of the World," and that's what
he did. He gave the audience two
hours (including one encore) of
peace and love from the opening
song, “Flower Child," to the show-
stopping “Fear."

It‘s hard to highlight a show that
had few low points. Kravitz ~—
dressed in tight blue velvet pants,
l960s brown shirt and blue vest —
took total command of the audience
from the beginning.

During his anthem “Let Love
Rule" he turned the crowd into a
choir. having them sing different
parts of the song's chorus.

“Listen to what you're saying
people. I don‘t want you to be in
here singing and go out there and
do wrong,” Kravitl told the audi-
ence. “This is not the ‘60s, this is
l9-motherfuckm590, and love re-
fuses to be limited to one period in
time."

I‘ve never danced so much or
been so exhausted after a concert.
You’ve got to move when you
watch Kravitz roll around on the
stage to “Freedom Train" or dig
down deep to give a haunting gos-
pel-like version of “Does Anyone
Out There Even Care.”

No one today makes music like
ls'ravitz. He’s the spiritual child of
Lou Reed. Jiiiti Hendrix (he does a
Hendrix cover), John Lennon and
Sly Stone.

But while others try to idealize
the '60s, Kravitz respects its atti-
tude. not its superficial things.
Love refuses to be limited to one
period in time and Kravitz refuses
to be limited to one style.

style w/Elvls on vocals.)

“Forget about the fuckin‘ make-
up, hairstyles or clothes,” Kravitz
said to the audience. “This is your
world, what are you going to do
with it?”

His acoustic cover of “Rose-
mary" accompanied by saxopho-
nist Karl Denson sounded like Lou
Reed with soul.

“Little Mary was five years old/
Her parents left her, she was out in
the cold/Alone to live and find her
way/In this great world of heart-
ache and pain," Kravitz sang.

“Freedom Train” is “Purple
Haze" for the ‘90s. With more
funk than the Red Hot Chili Pep-
pers could dream of having, it was
Kravitz’ invitation for the crowd to
“come on and dance on the Free-
dom Train."

Janet Jackson talks about a
“rhythm nation” where everyone
forgets about their differences and
dances to the beat of mindless Top
40 music. Kravitz dreams of a
time when people who care Will
give those who don't a big, collec-
tive middle finger.

“Mr. Cab Driver don‘t like the
way I look/He don’t like dreads, he
thinks we’re all crooks/Mr. Cab
Driver reads too many story
books/Mr. Cab Driver pass me up
with eyes of fire/Mr. Cab Driver
thinks we’re all 165’ers/Mr. Cab
Driver, fuck you I’m a survivor.”

Kravitz‘s band turned out to be
funkier than he was. Denson was
almost as much the star of the
show as Kravitz. He stunned the
audience several times with his
anything-goes solos.

But it was, after all, Kravitz‘s
show and he was more than up to
the task. For two hours he
Jumped, danced, screamed zmd sung

his heart out.

“lord what was the matter am I
insane/This life‘s an illusion that’s
all it remains/Are you listening,
are you boss/Am I gonna make it
or die tip on that cross," Kravitl
sung during “Be."

Kravitz isn‘t all social con—
sciousness. There were more than a
few gasps from the audience when
he sang love songs like “My I’re-
cious Love"

“Your eyes burned like fire
through my heart/Although we
were lifetimes apart/Making mis-
takes was my game/Your life I
tried to rearrange/But now I know a
better way,"

The only downer about Kravitz’s
show was that he didn’t perform
“Sittin' On Top of the World" tone
of my all time favorite songs) or “I
Build This (larden for I ".“s'

But the concert was the closest
I‘ve come to being totally satisfied
with any concert. In fact. I was ser-
iously considering traveling to
Nashville. Tenn. to see him this
weekend.

If he’s this good on his debut, I
can’t wait until his second album.

Anyone who doesn‘t have a copy
of Let Love Rule should get one,
but the album doesn’t compare to
his live show. Kravitz perfonned a
majority of the instruments on the
album, and he is even better when
there are other people to react to
his pcrfomtance.

Get the album, .see the show if
you can, and, remember, “Love
transcends all space and time/Love
can make a little child smile/Can‘t
you sec this won‘t go wrong/But
we got to be strong/We tan't do it
anne/Wc got to let love rule."

The struggle to make a new be-
ginning despite a multitude of ob-
stacles is a theme that appears in
Gian-Carlo Menotti‘s opera The
Consul .

It’s a process that the UK Opera
Workshop also is going through,
as witnessed by their production of
Menotti‘s opera that opens tonight
at the Lexington Public Library
Theater.

In the past, the workshop pro-
duced scenes rather than entire ope»
ras.

When the workshop finally got
the opportunity to perform an ope-
ra, it was interested in something
geared toward the performers’
youth, according to producer Mar«
garet Kennedy.

"The undergraduates were inter-
ested in something that featured
younger singers,” Kennedy said.
“The January performance (UK's
annual opera production at the Otis
A. Singtctary Center for the Arts)
usually features older singers, more

A Community Arts Develop

Arts and Cultural, Inc. enabled the
workshop to hire a stage director.
Kennedy said.

“Recently we've not been a full
studio opera,” she said. “Normally
in workshop students may study
scenes and perform them here and
not for the general public. You
might say this is an energizing of
the opera workshop. We’re very
limited on faculty time and the
grant made the difference."
