Roselle’ 5 leadership qualities marked by diplomacy

By BRAD COOPER
Editor- in~Chief

o matter where UK

President David P. Roselle

travels. whether it is Hong
Kong. Tokyo, Rome or Virginia, he
is always as close as his computer.

Take a few minutes to type a
message on a computer and he can
return it within the hour.

For Roselle, 47, the former
provost at Virginia Polytechnic
Institute and State University, the
US. Postal Service has become
obsolete. He receives most of his
mail by computer.

Electronic mail is only part of a
computer revolution that Roselle
says could create opportunities for
UK and higher education.

“(Oomputersi are an extremely
educational issue,“- Roselle said in a
recent interview at the King Alumni
Home.

“I believe that the learning
process will be directly affected by
the availability of computers,“ he

said. “I think the way society will go
is that larger numbers will own
computers.

I think we ‘ll reach a day when
computers will be so prevalent in
college education that it will be
necessary to get computers in the
dorm rooms of the students."

That day has almost arrived at
Virginia Tech. where Roselle is
given credit for computer
innovations on campus.

During his tenure as provost, Tech
acquired a $9 million supercomputer
from International Business
Machines Corp. and a $16 million
campus communications system to
handle all telephone, video and
computer data transmissions.

Since 1984. Virginia Tech ‘5
engineering and business freshmen
have been required to buy personal
computers in order to qualify for
financial aid.

Persuading students to buy a
personal computer was not a
burdensome issue at Virginia Tech
and should not be for UK either if
the University chooses to do
something similar in the future.
Roselle said.

SGA director seeking
to oust cabinet official

By KAREN PHILLIPS
Managing Editor

Tai Doram, the UK Student Gov-
ernment Association executive di-
rector for Community Affairs, is try-
ing to get Secretary of Education
William Bennett to resign.

“He ins continued to make cuts
on higher education" Doram said
“He thinks no money should be
given to students became they
spend it on nice cars and expensive
universities — that they' re wasting
the government‘ s money.

Doram began his project as a rep-
resentative of the UKSGA, but be-
giming in the fall will use his posi-
tion as- Southern Regional
Chairperson of the American Asso-
ciation of University Students as his
affiliation.

So Doram went to Washington,
DC. to address several committees,
senators and congressmen to ask for
Bennett's resignation.

“I told them that we have no con-
fidence in Ids ability as an adviser
for higher education." Doram said
“We‘re trying to start a chain reac-
tion."

Dwain also said he has received
letters of suppat from other offi-
cials and several universities includ~

ing Vanderbilt and Rochester Uni-
versities. In fact he said he hasn‘t
received any letters of nonsupport.

Specifically Doram said that Sen-
ators Wendell Ford and Mitch Mc-
Connell and Congressmen William-
Natcher and Chris Perkins had been
“bending over backwarrb to help
us.“

Doram said he also contacted 00n-
gressmanlarry Hopkins who “was
not as helpful."

However press secretaries for
Ford and McConnell said they were
not “bending over backwards to
help.“ Natcher and Perkins could

While John Chambers Ford's

Adapting Room 1060 for RFL use

Room 1060 was not the first

“The possibility of using the stor»

“Its benefits are numerous.“
Herbst said. “The room was not in

Tax reforms allow students to earn more money

By ANTHONY CLARK
Contributing Writer

The tax reforms created by the
Reagan administration and- passed
by Congress in 1986 will allow work—
ing students to earn more money
without paying federal income
taxes.

However, James Allgood. of the
regional office of the Internal Reve-
nue Service in Louisville. said stu-
dents whose parents claim them as
dependents on their federal tax re-
turns will not be allowed to claim
the personal deduction on their own
returns.

Allgood said that in 1986 single

students who earned $3,560 or less
could have claimed exemption from
federal income taxes by taking the
standard deduction of $2.480 plus the
personal deduction of $1.080.

In 1986 their parents could also
have claimed them as dependents
and deducted $1,080 from their taxa-
ble income.

This year, Allgood said. the mini-
mum amount of earnings under
which students may be able to claim
exemption has been raised to $4,440.
An increase in the standard deduc-
tion to $2,540. and the personal de-
duction to $1,900, is responsible for
the higher exemption figure.

“But if their parents claim them

as dependents on their tax returm.”
he said, “students will not be allow-
ed to take that personal deduction of
$1,900 from their own earnings."

Allgood said. “This is the most
significant change in the new tax
code affecting students."

He also said the new tax code was
“more complex.“

Students should “take the time to
sit down and calculate exactly what
their earnings from work, as well as
unearned income like interest and
dividends, will amount to in 1987,"
he said.

The next step to take in preparing
your taxes for the 1987-88 fiscal year
is to inform government agencies

Repairs on tower ahead of schedule

By (‘llERl (‘tlLLlS
Contributing Writer

The construction work on the 23-
story Kirwan Tower is running
ahead of schedule. with the comple-
tion date targeted for Aug. 16.

UK undertook the rebricking job
on the building this summer due to
safety concerns when exterior
bricks began coming loose. Wooden
canopies constructed in the fall of
1985 have guarded against injuries
so far.

The repair of Kirwan Tower will
cost $1.2 million and Blanding Tower
an estimated $1 million. Work on the
latter should begin next summer.

Removal of the bricks took a little
less than two weeks instead of a
planned three. Workers labored
seven days a week to push ahead of
schedule. Earlier work included
building a gravel access road to the
site and constructing a fence and
scaffolding.

No tax dollars are involved in the
repair. The money for the project
comes from the renewal and re-
placement fund — fees students pay
for living in campus homing.

get planned when we began the pro

The scaffold and fencing will be

about how these changes will affect
you by filing the W4 and K4 forms.

The W4 and K4 witholding forms
tell an employer how much state
and federal tax to withold from pay-
checks.

The deadline for filing the W4 and
K417 forms with the government is
Oct. i.

“If you don‘t file by then.“ Al-
lgood said, “your employer will con-
tinue to withold the same amount
based on last year‘s tax table. which
may lead to surprises next April.

“Students who don’t file in time
may end up bringing home less of
their paycheck, and on the other

hand they may come up owing taxes
next April," hesaid.

David Stockham, director of stu-
dent financial aid at UK, said
according to a report in March, of
the nearly 17,000 UK students who
applied for financial aid for the 1906-
87 school year, approximately 14,000
were classified as dependent stu—
dents. reporting that they had been
claimed as dependents on their par-
ents‘ income tax returns.

Stockham also said estimates indi-
cate that of the 85 to 90 percent of
those students reported some earned
income.

“I think what should happen is
that we should try to build an
attractive computing environment

. that students will want to buy
them.” he said.

That approach worked well at
Virginia Tech. said William E.
Lavery. Tech‘s president.

"1 Requiring students to buy
computers i could have easily turned
negative." Lavery said. “but with
his approach it turns out that
everybody is looking forward to
buying their own personal
computer. "

oselle began his
administrative career as the
dean of Tech's graduate

school and research and graduate
studies programs — a period he said
was very exciting.

"We set out to put renewed
emphasis on graduate research and
to make a larger. better student
body. Those were exciting days." he
said.

In what some call Roselle‘s first
success as an administrator.
enrollment in Tech‘s graduate
program increased during his first
year as dean from 2,933 in the fall of
1979 to 3.119 in 1980.

Enrollment peaked during
Roselle's years as dean at 3.233. in
the fall of 1986. Virginia Tech
enrolled 3.716 students in its
graduate programs,

Roselle became Virginia Tech‘s
provost or chief academic officer in
July. 1983.

What makes Roselle a successful
administrator. his colleagues at
Virginia Tech say, is his experience
as an administrator and as a faculty
member.

After graduating from
Pennsylvania‘s West Chester State
College in 1961 with a bachelor‘s
degree in physics, Roselle earned a
doctorate in math from Duke
University in 1985.

In 1965. Roselle met Louise
Dowling while working as graduate
student at Duke.

The two met about three years
earlier while Roselle was working as
a teaching assistant in a sophomore—
level calculus class at Duke.

They did not begin to date until
1965 when she entered the gradute
school at Duke and he took his first
faculty position at the University of
Maryland.

Roselle married Dowling of
Manhasset. N.Y.. on June 19, 1987.

The Roselles have two children.
neither of whom will live with them

more fun. It was hard. but it was
enjoyable. I‘ve enjoyed my time as
an administrator.“

It was not until Roselle joined the
ranks of the faculty that he began to
appreciate the pursuit of academic
excellence.

"As a faculty member I‘ve
enjoyed pursuing scholarship, as a
student I was just trying to pass the
courses." he said.

Roselle 's experiences as an
administrator. faculty member and
student give him keen imight into
what a university is about. said John
Wilson. his predecessor as Virginia
Tech‘s provost. now president of
Washington and Lee University.

“He knows what a university is.
what it is for. why it is. and where it
comes from.“ Wilson said.

“He understands the importance
of academic tenure and academic
freedom.“ he said. “He doesn‘t have
to be persuaded about the
importance of faculty. He doesn‘t
take the faculty for granted.“

Jarol Manheim. president of
Tech‘s faculty senate, agrees with
Wilson‘s assessment.

"He‘s got a good set of
administrative skilk in that he
understands the nature of the
university." Manheim said. “He can
talk to faculty and he can talk to
administrators."

Others at Virginia Tech and UK
describe Roselle as quiet. soft-
spoken. thoughtful, intense,
confident and tomb. He’s not afraid
to deal with turmoil or make tough
decisions. Wilson said.

One difficult decision came when
Virginia Tech revised its 1oo-year-
old honor code.

Roselle‘s willirgness to listen to
concerrs and handle the situation
more as a "diplomat" than as a
“dictatorial sort" made it easier to
make the system less stringent on
offenders. Manheim said.

Roselle handled the system 's
revision by applyirg modern
society's standartt — “that ifone
makes a mistake it doesn‘t have to
be the end of the world.“ Lavery
said.

Another dilemma Roselle was
instrumental in resolving as provost
was a 15-year debate over Tech ‘5
quarter system. Beginning in 1988.
Virginia Tech will move to a
semester system.

“He‘s quiet and tough. Don‘t be
deceived.“ Wilson said. “He can
make good. tough. independent.
administrative decisions without
dying inside."

Even if there is controversy
surrounding the decisions Roselle
makes at UK. Manheim said. people
will still respect his choices.

“People will learn to respect his
judgment.“ Manheim said. “He‘s
not a glad-hand politician type. He's
a seriors person that deals at a level
of thoughtfulness and ideas.“

While Roselle tends to shy away
from describing himself. he is not
bashful when it comes to discussing
higher education. UK in particular.

efore Roselle is ready to

discuss where he wants to

take the University. however.
hewantstobesureheknowswhat

Kentuckiars want.

“I have a fair number of ideas of
what I would like the University of
Kentucky to try to accomplish,“ he
said. "What I want tobe sure is that
my ideas mesh with the people
whose opinions are much more
important than mine."

This willingness to seek other
viewpoints is what makes Roselle a
successt administrator. Manheim
said.

"He's very easy to work with." he
said. "He‘s a quick study. He‘s
somebody who looks for better ideas
and tries to implement them.’

One group Roselle will likely seek
ideas from is the UK faculty.

ln meeting with faculty members
on his tours of UK’s beximton
campil. community college system
and the Medical Center. Roselle said
he fomd that faculty want to be
more involved with administrative
decision making —— a philosophy he
agrees with.

When Roselle begins formalizirg
his agenda. it will be the faculty‘s

KENTUCKY KERNEL. Thursday. July 2,1987 - 3

Roselle’s leadership qualities marked by diplomacy

wishes. he said. that will take
priority.

“l think it‘s the faculty's
responsibility to set the agenda for
the l‘mversity and to define the
academic courses. the research
programs. things like that. Their
responsibilities lie in those areas."
he said.

Roselle said he believes a
university's faculty is of paramount
importance. Without a successful
faculty. he said. LTK could flounder.

That is why Roselle places
emphasis on recruiting quality
faculty members.

"Faculty recruitment A as all
personnel recruitment v is the most
important (goal I. it really is." he
said. “It is just awfully important
who you hire. Whatever your job is.
it 's awfully important who you have
to serve on the faculty.”

acing $4.5 million in cuts

from this year‘s operating

budget. with an additional
$2.7 million frozen until October.
Roselle may find it difficult
attracting quality professors to UK.

The projected average salary for
faculty at UK this year is $38,500 ——
$3.700 behind the projected average
salary at UK‘s benchmark
institutions. Average faculty pay at
Virginia Tech is 541.000.

“One is never pleased by any kind
of budgetary problem." he said.
“One, especially someone who is
aggressive as I am. wants to get out
and accomplish things and do things
and make programs better.“

“One can't be happy about this
situation. one just can't be."

During fiscal 1988. which began
July 1. the University will not
increase money for operating
expenses. No money will be
allocated for program improvement.

Despite the state‘s gloomy
economic forecast in the face of a
$130 million shortfall for fiscal 1988.
Roselle is still ready to move
forward in his first year as
president.

Roselle says he is not sure about
the need for a special session to
remedy the state‘s budget problems.
but he is certain about one thing.

UK should cam its own support.

“1 think in the final analysis that
you‘ve got to gain legislative
support for the University on the
basis of people thinking that the
University is doing a good job."
Roselle said.

pparently he was able to

convince both federal and

state governments as well as
corporate sponsors that Tech was a
quality educational institution.

last year Virginia Tech ranked
49th nationally in research funding
from all sources and seventh
nationally in money obtained solely
from industrial firms.

Roselle does not take credit for
much of Virginia Tech‘s fund raising
in the private sector. saying “it was
the times."

But the former provost should not
be discounted in find raisin at
Tech, Lavery said.

Roselle did not work much with
Virginia ‘s legislature. but he still did
his homework and knew how to
make contacts for march money.
Lavery said.

Roselle‘s contact with US. Rep.
Frederick Douche. D-Virginia.
helped win Virginia Tech a “limo
grant for its college of medicine. he
said.

When it comes to raising money in
Kentucky. Roselle said he prefers
being the 't'niversity's ambassador.
not a politician.

"i don‘t think playing politics is a
correct role for the head of a state
agency. which is what this job is."
Roselle said.

"I think my obligation is to
present as straightforward and as
clearcut a way as possible what the
program and the policies and the
needs of the l'niversity of Kentucky
are."

For L'K to be successful with the
legislature. Roselle said he will have
to promote the faculty‘s
accomplishments — both in
research and educating students.

“The more the faculty
accomplish. the better placement
the students get. The more students
that graduate from the University of
Kentucky and open businesses and
do well improving the economic
environment of the commonwealth
. . . make it possible for people to
want to help the University. "

n order to ensure academic

excellence for UK, Roselle said

he believes faculty should be
thoroughly evaluated and
admissions standards for
undergraduates toughened.

At Virginia Tech. professors are
evaluated by alumni, students and
other professors. Roselle said.

These evaluations are a part of
tenure and salary decisions.

“Generally. faculty have
responsibilities in the areas of
teaching. service and scholarship.
and I think that faculty should be
evaluated for promotion. tenure and
salary increases." he said.

Faculty. however. are not the only
ones who should be held accountable
for academic excellence. he said.

To achieve excellence not only at
UK but at high schools around the
state. Roselle said Kentucky's
flagship university must send out
the signal that education must be
taken seri0usly.

he way to make that signal is
by increasing admissions
standards.

“One wants to have the message
sent out across Kentucky that the
educational attainment appropriate
for entry in a selective admissions
program." he said. “is an important
issue. because once you do that you
cause the whole secondary program
to be taken more seriously

Higher admissions standards.
Roselle said. also free wofessors for
research instead of tying them up
teaching remedial courses.

Roselle‘s pursuit of academic
excellence will not take a back seat
to college athletics during his tenure
at UK.

"Athletics are an extracurricular
activity and the curricular activities
should be the utility of the
institution."

Roselle, who enjoys runniru and
golfing. said intercollegiate atNetics
are beneficial for the University, as
longestheyareplayedbytherules.

”It‘s a good thirg to play. it
creates intact in the school.“ he
said. “But it‘s only good if it is done
fairly and enhances. not detracts
from. the reputation of the
University.“

said. action mmt be taken.

Singletary begins move
into new life and office

By LYN CONGLE'ION
Senior Staff Writer

Former UK President Otis A. Sin-
gletary not only added emeritus to
his title yesterday but he also
stepped into a new office.

Singletary will be working in a
special office designed for him be-
hind the Peal Gallery in the north
wing of M. I. King Library, said
Jack Blanton. vice chancellor for
administration.

Cost for renovation of the office,
which formerly was a one-room of-
fice for three library employees.
was more than $20,000, said Blanton.
The Physical Plant Division spent
about 45 days renovating. he said.

Singletary. now a history profes-
sor. will be taking a six month leave
of absence before beginning a book
“about what's happened in higher
education in the last quarter of a
century," Singletary said. UK will
be a “sort of test tube" for higher
education in the book. he said.

Singletary is the first incumbent
professor of the Ashland
Professorship of the Humanities, an
Ashland Oil endowed position.

Singletary also will be working on
the development area of raising
funds from private contributors.

He has not decided whether he
will make it back to the classroom.

“I'm going to keep the future open
on teaching.‘ he said.

Singletary said that he will keep a
low profile in Lexington for awhile
because he thinks it‘s “good to let
the new man settle in."

Renovation for the office included
building over a door which led to the
rare book collection, a new side door
leading outside, dividing the one
large room into two rooms and fix-
ing the door to the Peal Gallery so
that it opens only from the Peal Gal-
lery side. said Paul Willis. director
of libraries.

Space for Singletary‘s office was
available due to a new type of shelv-
ing. Willis said. Compact shelving
has been purchased for the rare
books collection room. said Willis,

“This lrare books collection
room; is a place to maximize our
space.“ said Willis. The compact
shelving allows the shelves to move
on tracks so they can be pushed to-
gether. leaving only one aisle.

“In the same square footing you
get more space." Willis said.
This shelving made enough room for
three private offices for the employ-
ees who shared the space behind
Peal Gallery, Willis said.

One advantage Singletary will
have with his office location, Willis

said, is that he will be able to work
with material in Special Collections
which is not supposed to leave the
building.

Willis said he thought the library
was also be the ideal location for

“be

Singletary's work with fund raising
because “we serve the whole com-
munity."

“I don‘t see that (the office) as
being inconsistant with what may
happen to this building," Willis said.

Pharmacy appoints interim dean

The College of Pharmacy named William C. Lubawy,
assistant dean for academic affairs. as its interim dean
Tuesday afternoon.

Lubawy succeeds Joseph Swintosky, who has served as
the college’s dean for 20 years.

Although Swintosky’s retirement as an administrator
became effective yesterday, he will continue to work in the
college as a faculty member and a researcher in the field of
drug delivery systems.

The year-long search for Swintosky's successor has been
narrowed to two candidates.

One finalist for the position is Joseph Fink, 40, an as-
sistant dean in the College of Pharmacy, said Peter Bosom-
worth, chancellor for the Medical Center.

Last year Fink served on the committee searching for a
new vice chancellor for student affairs.

The other finalist is Jordan Cohen, 44, is currently
serving as a professor of pharmacy at the University of
Southern California‘s College of Pharmacy.

He is chairman of the pharmaceutics department in the
college and has a yearlong fellowship with the American
Council on Education.

UK President David P. Roselle has met with both can-
didates saying it is a “win-win” situation, according to
spokeswoman for the Medical Center.

Bosomworth said it will only “be a matter of weeks,
not months" before he expects to receive a recommenda-
tion from the search committee.
