Wethington hriels Senate on library proposal

President to give detailed plan
to Board of Trustees next week

By Jennifer Smith
Staff eriter

A week before he will present it
to the Board of Trustees, UK
President Charles \Vethington
outlined the plan for funding a
new libra ' during the first full
meeting o the University Senate
yesterday.

VVethington announced a
detailed description of the propos-
al identical to the one unanimous—
ly endorsed by the Lexington-
Fayette Urban County Council on
Aug. 30.

“Hurdles remain to be
crossed,” \Vethington said.

“However, I expect construc-
tion to begin before this calendar

year ends.”

He described the proposal as a
“complicated five-step process.”

The plan includes a funding
union between the Athletics and
Alumni associations.

The decision came after the
state denied UK the necessary
funding to build the library.
\Vethington said the University
could not afford to wait two years
until the next regular session of
the General Assembly.

“()ur inability to gain support
could not have come at a worse
time," \Vethin on said.

“But we wifltcontinue to press
for state support.”

He also said a two-year delay
could cost $3 million to $4 mil-

lion. Also, he said, UK has a com—
mitment to about 13,000 private
donors who contributed more
than $21 million to the project.

“The people of Kentucky want
this University to succeed,”
\Vethington said.

According to the proposal, the
non—profit Alumni Association
will ask for $40 million in tax rev—
enue bonds from the Urban
County govermnent in October.

The payment for the bond will
be $3 million each year. For the
next 30 years, the Athletic Associ-
ation will provide the funds to pay
off the bonds.

\Vethington will submit the
plan to the trustees for approval
on Tuesday.

In his s eech, \Vethington also
outlined t e many recent accom—
plishments of UK.

“UK stands out,” he said. “I like
that message; it's what we are,
what we aspire to be.”

He said he has never felt more
confident about this institution.

He mentioned increased
enrollment, this year's record 82
national merit scholars and the
increased ACT average scores of
incoming students.

Also, \Vethington mentioned
an increase in computer technolo-
{5Y-
He said the technology is three
to' four times better than what is
currently available to students.

He topped offthe list of accom—
plishments by discussing many of
the academic awards UK has
received, including a second place
national award given to a team of
women engineers.

“I have barely scratched the
surface of the accomplishments of
this University,” “Yethington said.

He also introduced some ofhis
goals to better UK, especially

College considers
strict dress code

By Nick Rholon
Staff lVriter

Students will not be allowed to
wear baseball bats, torn jeans or
cutoff shorts in the College of
Pharmacy ifa proposed dress code
is approved today.

The current college policy
states that students must dress
professionally when in labs or in
contact with patients. Under the
new code, however, students
would be required to follow the
guidelines even while in class or
risk being sent home.

Members of- the college will
meet at noon today to discuss a
proposed collegewide dress code.

Kevin Adams, chairman of the
college's Student Advisory Corn-
mittee, said the group will review
the proposal and, if its members
reach a consensus, present a list of
formal suggestions to Jordan
Cohen, dean of the college.

“It seems like (the dress code) is
an imminent thing." Adams said,
“and we’re just lucky that they are
allowing us to have an input.”

Three fourth-year pharmacy
students leaving a lab class yester—
day afternoon were dressed in
shirts, slacks and ties.

One female student, who
requested anonymity, was dressed
in 2 shorts suit yesterday.

“They keep talking about
dressing professionally,” she
said.“It seems like ifwe're intelli-
gent enough to be in the College
of Pharmacy, we're intelligent
enough to know how to dress.”

Another concern among stu-
dents, Adams said, is the potential
cost of complying with a uniform
dress code.

“They feel like they are facing a
financial burden,” Adams said,
“because some may have to go out
and by all new clothes.”

The proposed code would out—
law short miniskirts and “distract—
ing accessories like nose rings and
earrings (in males)."

Tennis shoes would be permit—
ted only if they “are clean and in
like—new condition,” while sandals
and open—toed shoes would be

Regardless of today’s outcome,
Adams said the students should be
given advance notice.

“I believe (the policy) should
not go into effect before next

“And students should be made
aware of the code when applying
to the school so they can make
their own choice.”

Plane crashes
on White House lawn

\VASHINGTON —» In a bizarre breach ofsecuri—
ty, a stolen plane darted unchallenged over the “'hite
House fence early yesterday, slammed down on the
South lawn and cartwheeled against the mansion two
floors below President Clinton’s private quarters.

The pilot, killed in the crash, was identified as
Maryland truck driver Frank Corder, said to have a
history of mental illness. Clinton and his family were
not in the White House when the small, single»
engine plane hit at 1:49 am. They were staying in a
government guest house across the street because of
\Vhite House repairs.

The Secret Service launched an immediate review
of whether security procedures w ere followed and
how the pilot got through.

Alns drug won't be ready until 1995
SILVER SPRING. Md --~ An experimental drug

awaited by AIDS patients won’t be available outside
limited clinical trials until at least the middle ofnext
year, its maker said yesterday.

The disappointing news about Hoffman
I.aRoche's saquinavir came as AIDS activists bitterly
debated whether the government allows quick
enough access to promising drugs — and whether its
fast—track approval program sets up patients for
snake-oil therapy.

The drug, saquinavir. is the first ofa new familv of
potential AIDS drugs called protease inhibitors. But
saquinavir is so complicated to make that LaRoche
simply won’t have enough to give to any patients out—
side those in its strictly controlled clinical trials until
at least mid—1995, researcher Dr. \Vaijen Soo said.

\VASHINGTON —- Seventeen countries.

Meanwhile, Republican leaders said Congress

ment of US. forces to an invasion. And Pentagon
officials announced that, as part of an ongoing

helps

make
escape

I! CHIS “Ill
CW Writer

During your sta at UK, you may find that
esca ing to one 01’ Kentucky’s camping areas
for e weekend can be very beneficial.

And there is an place on campus that can
help‘you prepare for your excursion.

e Outing Center specializes in providing
cam ing equt ment. It caters to cam rs’
nee s by supp ying equipment ranging rom
tents to camp stoves.

Originally started in 1986 with funds to-
vided by the Student Activities Board, the t-
ing Center has grown into an independent
business.

Said Michelle Haley, director of the Outing
Center for more than five ears: “Despite
being limited to renting to on y UK students,
staff and faculty, the center has enjoyed a
steady growth rate over the years."

This is largely due to the relatively low costs
of renting equipment.

Undeclared junior Shawn Ritzie rented
from the Outing Center for a four—day trip to
the Red River Gorge last spring break.

“If I were to 0 out and buy all the equip-
ment for a four-(fily trip, I would end up spend-
ing a couple of hundred dollars,” Ritzie said.
“Instead, I went to the Outing Center and
rented all of the equipment I needed without
spending a lot.”

The cost of renting a tent ranges from $5 to
$65, depending on the size of the tent and how
long it is to be rented. All other equipment
prices start at $5 or less.

When renting from the Outing Center, stu-
dents must bring their UK IDs.

The Outing Center is open year round,
Monday through Friday during the week.
Equipment may be rented for up to three
weeks, but packages are typically needed only

for the weekend.

The Outing Center recommends reserving
equipment a week in advance.

Rentals may be paid in cash or with a Vend
Plus Account. Campus departments and stu-
dent o 'zations may arrange other payment
meth through UK.

“People have approached us with questions
about group outings," Haley said, “but people
usually like to do their own thing."

Haley also said equipment is updated peri-
odically throughout the year, an no security
deposit is required to rent.

Ross Boyd, a biology junior, has rented
from the Outin Center in the (last for trips to
the Red River (gorge and West irginia.

“It is ood equipment that is pretty cheap,”
he said. Plus, you can get whatever you want.”

The Outin Center is located in 101 Stu-
dent Center. all 257-6625 for more informa-

IINIIEII WE STAN” UK President Charles Wething-ton helped kirk ofir the
United Wayfimdraiser at a luncheon in the Student Center yerterday.

By Chris Shlnn
Contributing Writer

Before his injury, Dale Baldwin
was a cheerleader for UK. Today,
he is an active advocate for the
United Way.

Baldwin injured his spine dur-
ing a pre—game practice, and since
the accident he has used a
wheelchair. A video presentation
featuring Baldwin captured the
spirit of this year’s United Way’s
fund—raising campaign theme, “A
Tradition of Sharing.”

“Sharing to me means giving of
yourself,” Baldwin said, “some—
times it means giving things you
may not think you can give.”

The campaign began with an
annual luncheon yesterday in the
Student Center Ballroom. Volun-
teers and guests were treated to
classical music by the Niles Quar-
tet, lunch and guest speakers UK

President Charles \Vethington
and Kentucky historian Thomas
Clark.

“The luncheon is our way of
sayin thank you to all ofthe peo-
ple w 0 will be volunteering their
time and effort to United Way for
the next six weeks,” said Bill
Adkisson, co-chairman of United
VVay’s UK chapter.

Last year, UK United \Vay
raised $428,000. This year’s 031
is to raise $450,000 at UK, an 6.3
million nationally.

“This is an aggressive goal, but
it is necessary in order to support
this important resource in our
community,” said Brenda Franey,
UK campaign co-chairwoman.

UK United Way plans on
reaching its goal through more
persona contact and positive lead—
ership. The campaign ends Oct.
28.

“UK employees donated more

off their own money than any
other United “'ay chapter in the
Bluegrass region last year, and we
need to build on that leadership,"
said Bill Hartman, this year‘s gen—
eral campaign chairman and CEO
of Bank One.

United \Vay of the Bluegrass
kicked off its campaign yesterday
evening at the Bank One block in
downtown Lexington. Events
included speakers. music and the
unveiling ofa 15-story banner that
will track the success of the catn-
paign.

Also, the second annual United
Way Sports Spectacular is sched-
uled for Oct. 8 at the Seaton Cen-
ter. Events include three-on-three
basketball, freeethrow competi-
tion, three-point contest, slam-
dunk contest and two—on-two vol-
leyball. There will be music and
informational booths set—up dur—

Kentucky Kernel, Tuesday, September 1;, 1994 8

ing the day.

The Sports Spectacular is spon—
sored by the UK Student Cam-
paign of United Way.

“There are many student at UK
who want to help with United
Way, but just aren't sure how,”
said Melinda Binegar, president of
the student campaign. “The
Sports Spectacular is a way of get—
ting everyone involved while hav-
ing fun."

Last year the student campaign
raised more than $10,000 in
money and services. This will be
the third year that United Way
has had a UK student campaign.

Other United Way events
scheduled include the Albert B.
Chandler Medical Center Festival
on Oct. 12 and the Lexington
Campus Fall Festival on Oct. 13.
Both will offer food, entertain-
ment and prizes.
