The UK Board of Trustees

a proved the bud et for 1996-97 on
uesday. The bu get calls for $1.134

billion in spending and is the first bud-

get in school history over $1 billion.

The budget includes the funding
for a 3.2 percent salary increase pool
for the University and community col—
lege faculty and staff. The budget
also included a 5 .82 rcent salary
adjustment for commumty college fac-
ulty, which will bring salaries up to the
median for benchmark institutions.

According to UK President Charles
Wethington, Jr., the university’s high-
est priority in utilizing the funds avail-
able to the community college system
was improvement of e salaries of the
community college faculty.

Among the budget priorities cited
by Wethington were the improve-
ments of the community college sys-
tem; maximizing access to higher edu-

UK has traded 12 years for
$20,000 and awarded its univer—
sity bookstore contract to a com—
pany whose files were recently
examined by the FBI.

UK awarded a five-year con—
tract to manage and operate its
Student Center and Chandler
Medical Center bookstores to
Wallace’s Bookstores Inc., a
national bookstore corporation
based in Lexington and owned
b former Kentucky Governor

allace Wilkinson, on May 30.

Wallace’s bid $4,775,000 for
the contract, beating out two
other companies, Barnes &
Noble Bookstores, Inc. and F01—
lett College Stores. Follett,
which has operated the book-
stores for the past 12 years, bid
$4,755,005, about $20,000 less
than the winning bid.

The day after Wallace’s won
the bid, Follett sent a letter to
the UK Office of Fiscal Affairs

expressing concern about the

“Wham

with a way to climb

to greater beigbts.

 

 

University’s decision to lease the
bookstores to Wallace’s based on
such a small difference in the
bids.

“I hope that the University
will look at our commitment and
record and not make a chan e
over a few pennies,” UK Boei-
store’s General Manager Paul
Little was quoted in the letter as
saying.

Little said he does not plan to
stay at the UK Bookstore when
Wallace’s takes over its opera-
tions, due to his loyalty to Follet.
He has been with the company
for 2 6 years.

“I have some longevity,” he
said.

Little said that many of the
employees at the UK Bookstore
feel anxious and confused
because they do not know what
to expect, especially regarding
personnel changes. In its no-
posal, Wallace’s promise to
offer employment 0 portunities
to current staff members, as long
as they conform to Wallace‘s
standards.

“Our business plan may
require changes in positions and
duties, adoption of our business
philosophy or the acceptance of
new managers and supervisors,“
the proposal stated.

Little emphasized that his
decision to leave is based entirely
on his relationship with Follett.

“It has nothing to do with the
Wallace company,” he said.

According to the proposal,
Wallace’s will interview current
full-time employees of the book-
stores.

The company may then offer
them em loyment subject to
each emp oyee’s acceptance of
Wallace’s policies and proce-
dures, and willingness to follow
company direction and supervi-
sion, according to the proposal.

cation through the community college
system; strengthening the university’s
role as a research institution; and con-
tinuing the university's commitment
to e uity and diversity.

e new bud et represents an
overall increase 0 12.6 percent over
the 1995-96 budget. However, that
figure is slightly misleadin . Included
in the overall 5 riding or the first
drne is 362.5 mi ‘on for the Kentucky
Medical Services Foundation.

The KMSF includes all of the ser—
vices to support the College of Medi—
cine. The budget for the rest of the
university rose by only 6.4 percent
over last year.

Wethington stated that the KMSF
should have been included in our gen-
eral budget all along. The purpose for
adding it now is to aid in grant and
contract reimbursement and to give “a
more accurate expression of the over-
all budget of the University of Ken-
tuc .” Another point of emphasis by
Wet ington is the continuing down-

ward trend of state funding for higher
education.” While the actual state
contribution to UK actually rose by
$15.5 million, as a rcentage of the
total budget it fell mm 33.2 to 30.5
percent. However, this dro is not as
significant as it may seem ue to the
inclusion of the KMSF into the bud-
get for the first time.

Taking this factor into account,
state funding only dro ped slightly to
32.3 percent of the bu get.

A major source of new revenue for
the university is a tuition increase that
Wethington termed as being moder—
ate. Tuition increases of 3.5 percent at
UK and 2 ercent in the community
colleges will account for an additional
$3.4 million in increased resources.

In closing his budget presentation,
Wethington said that he felt the new
bud t was fair.

“ his is a good budget, and all ofus
here are heartened by Governor Pat-
ton’s commitment to a special session
on higher education next year.”

 

IMIson Wyatt to
be laid to rest Friday

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - A funeral service will be
held Friday for Wilson W. Wyatt, a noted attor-
ney who held two elective offices and was active in
Democratic Party politics.

Wyatt, who died Tuesday, was 90 and main-
tained an ofiice in the law firm that he founded.

Gov. Paul Patton ordered flags lowered to half
staff at the Capitol, where Wyatt had served as
lieutenant governor.

Wyatt became mayor of Louisville in 1941. He
also played a key role in the formation of Ameri—
cans for Democratic Action, a liberal political
group, and served as the organization's first chair-
man in 1947.

In 1952, Wyatt managed the unsuccessful pres—
idential campaign of Adlai Stevenson and also
played a prominent role in Stevenson’s 1956 pres-
idential campaign.

In December 1963, Wyatt established the
Louisville law firm of Wyatt, Tarrant & Combs.

Wims hired
as director

By Ann Baden
Staff Writer

Imagine it is next fall. You and your friends are
sitting around in your dorm doing something that
you probably should not be doing. The worst
thing happens, you get cau ht! Your RA turns you
in to the hall director and en your hall
director turns you in to the director of
residence life. You are thinking, “So
what, I saw her last year. At least she
knows me.” Well, think again.

June 30 was her last day. Deborah R.
Hazard resigned from the position that
she held for two years.

After she submitted her letter of res-
ignation, the search for the new director
started.

The search ended when James VVims
was hired to fill the post.

On Aug. 1 Wims will begin as the
new director. He is coming to UK
from Lincoln University in Missouri.
Before he held his position there, he
worked for Kent State, his alma mater.

When asked wh he wanted to come
to UK, Wims said: “I saw, first of all,
challenges that UK should give me, it’s a large
institution which I am familiar with since I came
from Kent State.

“It puts me back in touch with a system similar
In Size.”

Coming from a large universi like Kent
State,makes VVIms feel that he wil be right at
home at UK. Students should feel that way too,
Wims said. While he is at UK, he hopes to

 

 

0.00.00.0000...0.00.00.00.00

“address issues that will hopefully im rove the
quality of life for the students.” He a ded then,
“I’m not saying that there’s a problem, but I want
to enhance the quality of life.”

The quality of life may not be the only changes
that VVims makes for students. Right now he does
not have any particular programs in mind, but he
does plan to meet with staff, students and the Resi-
dence Hall Association.

He will discuss issues with them, and then based
on these meetings, he will decide on chan 5.

One issue on campus that many stu ems feel
strtarIglly about is race relations.

en asked about the incidents that occurred
last semester he said, “I don’t know alot about
that.” He did say though that, “It only takes a
handful of people, it should in no way
show a reflection on the student body.”
Right now he does not have a specific
p0 icy to solve or prevent racial ten-
srons on campus.
In solution to this he said, “I’m not
sure that it can be prevented, but we
can be as proactive as we can and t
and get people in touch with eadh’
other and begin to understand and
appreciate individual differences.”
Another set of differences that he
wanted to show were campus wide.
According to his resume, he wants to
create “environments where personal
and intellectual development are
enhanced and where students are not
all painted with the same brush, but
where individual differences are recog-
nized and appreciated.”

Other than helping students with their living
environment, Wuns will have many responsibilities
as the director of residence life. He will be in
charge of a budget, recruiting staff, promoting stu-
dent development programs and setting depart-
ment goals.

In other university news, the director of food
services, Carol Raitz, resi ed and applications are
currently being accepted a: the position.

Kevorkian assists OIIGB IIIOI‘B

By Patricia J. Mays
Anoahtrd Press

LANSING, Mich. — Less
than a month after his latest
court victory, Dr. Jack Kevorkian
took part in the suicide of a 69-
year-old stroke—ridden widow
who checked herself out of a
nursing home in New Jersey to
seek his help.

The death of Ruth Neuman
was the 29th suicide Kevorkian
has acknowled d assisting since
1990. She diegcby inhaling car-
bon monoxide.

“Dr. Kevorkian along with
other physicians were present at
the time that Ruth Neuman
ended her life of extreme tor-
ment and suffering as a result of
various debilitating and ulti-

mately fatal diseases,”
Kevorkian’s lawyer, Geoffrey
Fiegcr, said Tuesday.

Mrs. Neuman had been treat-
ed foe announcer, had dia-
betes and degenerative back dis-

ease, and was partially paralyzed
from one in a series of strokes,
Fiegcr said. He would not say
exactly when or where she com-
mitted suicide.
' On May 14, the 68-year-old
Kevorkian escaped conviction
for the third time in three trials.
At the time, he declared that
nothing short of “being burned
at the stake” would halt his cam-
paign to provide relief to suffer-
In patients. And Fiegcr predict-
e it would be Kevorkian’s last
trial.

No immediate char s were
filed in Mrs. Neumans death.

Natavio sai Mrs. Neuman’s
body was brought in a wheel-
chair to the emergency room by
her son, Jeff Neuman, 41, who
was joined several minutes later
by Fiegcr. Attempts to revive her
failed, and she was pronounced

" “was". .

Neuman, accompanied” by her
son and daughter, had come to
Kevorkian for hel from Colum—
bus, N.J., where s e had been in
the nursing home recovering
from a stroke in May, Fiegcr
said.

Fie r said Mrs. Neuman
“had en counseling with Dr.
Kevorkian for a number of
months.” He said she fulfilled
Kcvorkian’s requirements for
assistance: She had handed over
all her medical records, suffered
from an incurable ailment and
was mentally competent.

“She was very determined in
her decision and she never
plunged her :nhind, and she had

su rt 0 er more firmly,”
he said).po

Neighbors in the retirement
community where Mrs. Neuman
lived since 1993 said Mrs. Neu-
man was a friendly, he? person
who became dc resse after her
husband died est fall and her
own health declined.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. ——
Patients with unhealable
wounds, from deep burns to
mastectomies, may one day be
able to regrow their own tissue,
maybe even organs.

It sounds Ii e science fiction,
but researchers are discovering
ways to force tissues that nor-
mally don’t regrow to do just
that — opening the possibility of
painless tissue regeneration.

“One day you could actually
grow a new breast or replace an
ear,’ ’said Stephen Push of Gen-
zyme Corp., which has govern-
ment permission to sell the first
method to re ow joint cartilage
pending F00 and Drug Admin-
istration approval.

FDA biotechnology chief Dr.
Philip Noguchi, who unveiled
the agency’s new tissue regula-
tions to corn anies meetin in
Philadelphia uesda, said: “ is-
sue engineering wi I be here in
five years, I’m sure.”

Doctors today try various sur-

   

 

( |\ll M \RK llll \IRI S

gical repairs when tissues that
can’t regenerate are injured:
Artificial knees, breast implants
for mastectomy patients, skin
grafts for burn victims whose
injuries go so deep that even
normally resilient skin won’t
come back.

But biological tissue works
better than a substitute, so scien-
tists are starting to mani ulate
patients’ own cells to ma e tis-
sues regrow.

First on the market is Gen-
zyme’s Carticel to re air torn
knee cartilage. Ce 5 from
patients’ remaining cartilage are
mixed in a test tube with
enzymes that break down the
cartilage’s structure so the cells
physically are able to grow. Then
they’ re mixed with special nutri-
ents, and the growing cells are
reimplanted.

Carticel is not FDA—
approved, but in a highly unusual
move, the agency let Carticel
start selling last spring while it
wrote the first regulations for
this new science. Carticel gave
the FDA a model for its new

rules, and Genzyme has filed a
license application while it also
tests Carticel in ankle and shoul—
der cartilage.

No other knee therapy works
very well, but Swedish studies
suggest Carticel treatment may
heal painful knees for at least
seven years, Noguchi said.

A big question about tissue
regeneration is whether func-
tional tissues, instead of the car-
tilage that simply sits in place,
will work.

Floorfocelifi to

begin tomorrow

Jay G. Tale
Stuff Writer

Tom Minter, president of the
Lexington Center Corporation,
will announce tomorrow that
Rupp Arena is preparing to enter
the ice a

Soun strange?

It isn’t.

Beginning in October, Lex-
ington’s new professional ice
hockey team, the Kentucky
Thoroughblades, need a place to
play.

After all, ice is very important
to their trade.

The project calls for a partial
demolition of the Ru p Arena
floor in order to instal the nec-
essary pi ing for the ice rink
which wil rest below Rupp’s bas—
ketball floor.

“The project is a three-month
phase,” said Kathie Stamps of
Jordan-Chiles, Inc., a public
relations firm working with Lex~
ithngton Center Corp. to publicize

roject.
the“El'hteyr intend to have the ro-
ject completed sometime in ep-
tember.”

The Thoroughblades begin
play in October

According. to Stamps, the ice

will remain ere throughout the
_ season.
Any other floors that are

will be stacked on top of the ice.

Naturally, this has people
concerned about the floor on
which the UK basketball team
plays its games.

Fans ikely have seen fright-
ening scenes from NBA games in
which condensation from the
hockey ice below has caused
some slippery conditions.

Do VVildcat fans have reason
for concern?

No, says Louie Galicia, oper—
ations manager for the Great
Western Forum in Inglewood,
Calif.

“There is nothing to worry
about,” Galacia said, as long as
the climate control in the arena
remains operational.

“The crews, when trained
properly, change the floors in
about seven and a half
hours...with n0 condensation on
the floor above.”

He employs a crew of 24 men
who place a “wooden sandwich”
made of wood and Styrofoam on
the ice to keep condensation
from disturbing the floor surface
above.

Fred Corsi, vice president of
Building Operations at St. Louis’
Kiel Center uses a slightly differ-

ent wroach.

had a problem with the
floor being too cold, he said.
“The players and coaches were
complaining of cold feet.

To fix the problem, the Kiel
Center elected to put a layer of
homosote between the wood and
the bottom of the basketball

Homosote, which resembles
gray cardboard, is a high-density
material made from recycled
papers.

To add an additional chal-
lenge, Corsi said that several
times during the season he had a
1 pm. basketball game and a 7
pm. hockey game on the same
day.

“It requires a lot of work and a
lot of people, but we can make a
full change-over in about two
hours,” Corsi said.

Tomorrow, Minter will be
announcing the specifics about
the particular floor that will be
installed in Rupp Arena.

Construction is set to begin
immediately.

Fans here in the Bluegrass are
excited about their new team.

“It is going to be great to see
somethin in Rupp aside from
basketbal ,” said Rob Tatum, a
post—baccalaureate pharmacy
student from Lebanon, Ky
“People here know nothing
about hockey. It will be interest-
ing. ”

Interesting for fans, perhaps.
But to workers at Ru Arena
who will have to insta the ice
and switch the floors interesting
could prove to be an understate-
ment.

Take it from Tom Ferreri,
director of arena 0 rations at
the Continental Air ines Arena,
where the NBA’s New Jersey
Nets and the NHL’s New Jersey
Devils play their home gamesi

Michigan goli star
will join lady Kats

By Brett Dawson
Sport: Editor

If the Big 10’s football fresh-
man of the year announced he
was transferring to UK, it would
make national headlines. The
freshman of the year in women’s
golf, as it turns out, doesn’t cre-
ate as much of a fuss.

Still, Katie Loy, who was the
Big 10’s top frosh last year while
playing at Michigan, is big news
for the Lady Kats. The Ann
Arbor, Mich., native announced
intentions to u-ansfer to UK this
week.

The obvious question is, wh P

“Turning down Kentucky e
first time was really hard,” Loy

said in a telephone interview
Tuesday. “Coming out of hi h
school, it was down to Kentuc
and Michigan, and I really loved
(UK) Coach (Bettie Lou) Evans
and the girls and I really got
along.”

But a fear of homesickness —
her family’s house is “about five
minutes” from the Michigan
campus — swayed Loy’s decision
toward the Maize and Blue. After
a year, though, the advantages of
a future in Blue and White
became more obvious.

“One of the main things was
playing against great teams in

reat climates (in the SEC),”
oy said. “I felt like going fur-
ther south would be a big step

toward achieving my goals.”

The biggest of those goals is
to someday play for money on
the Ladies Professional Golf
Association Tour.

That would only serve to top
off what is already an impressive
golf resume.

After being named Michigan’s
Miss Golf as a junior and senior
at Pioneer High School, the 18—
year old Loy went on to post top
five finishes in 11 tournaments as
a Michigan freshman.

“She s a big girl, and she hits
the ball really hard,” UK’s Evans
said. “Mostly, she just loves it.
She loves the game of golf.”

Eventually, Loy wants that
love to pay off.

“I’m going to college to pre—
pare myself in case it doesn’t

appen,” Loy said, “but it would
be great to be on the LPGA, and
that’s my goal for the future.”

In the short term, thou h,
Loy simply wants to et sett ed
at UK, which she t inks will
“sort of become my home away
from home.”

And then there’s the matter of
UK’s fall olf schedule.

“Our rst tournament is up
here at Michigan, so obviously
I’d like for us to go out and win
that,” said Loy, who hopes the
Kats can follow up this East
Regionals appearance with a trip
to the NCAA Championships. “1
want us to go out there and show
people that Kentucky is a team
to look out for.”

“His desire to compete and
win make him an extremel
valuable asset,” UK coach
Keith Madison said.
