Plus/minus grading plan passes

By Kathy finding
Staff IVrim‘

Nearly a year after it was originally proposed, a
plus/minus grading system was approved for use in
the College ofArts and Sciences.

The University Senate overwhelmingly passed
the proposal yesterday to establish the system, which
will take effect this fall.

With plus/minus grading, an A will be a 4.0, an A-
, a 3.7, and a 3+ will be worth 3.3 points, with the
satne pattern being used for the entire grading scale.

The grading scale will apply to all students who
take classes offered by the College of Arts and Sci-
ences, even ifthey are enrolled in another college.

Steven Hart, associate dean of the College ofArts
and Sciences, said the goal is to introduce greater
accuracy into grading.

“It is a major change,” Hart said. “It cuts both
ways. It would let me give an A— to a student when a

B or 8+ is too harsh."

Hart said the system will be evaluated continu-
ously once it is in place. In four years, the program
will undergo a larger evaluation and kept in place if it
has led to greater grading accuracy.

Last year, when Arts and Sciences made the
plus/minus proposal, the Senate’s Admissions and
Academic Standards committee recommended that
the change be implemented University—wide.

In October, however, the Senate raised concerns
of grading equity and whether or not weaker stu—
dents would fall below 2.0 grade-point averages
under the plus/minus system.

After seeking input from college deans, faculty
councils, student government and other universities
with comparable systems, the Senate Council “con—
cluded that there was no compelling rationale to rec-
ommend instituting such a system University-wide."

The Council agreed that the original proposal
made by Arts and Sciences should be reconsidered.

The colleges of law. fine arts and architecture. as
well as the landscape architecture program, already
use plus/minus grading.

Senate Council research found that although they
are satisfied with the system, it was not sufficient jus—
tification to propose the scale for the entire system.

The proposal says the plus/minus system in Arts
and Sciences will not change college requirements or
the method used to figure out (iPAs.

The proposal stated that “the use of the
plus/minus system does not change any college of
university grade point average requirements, not the
method by which grade point averages are comput—
ed, nor the interpretations ofot her grades awarded."

Those in favor of the proposal said the system
would lead to more fair and accurate grading, espe
cially in la'rge classes.

()ppouents to the proposal said student's tran-
scripts would appear inconsistent because not all
classes would be graded on the same scale.

 

Students
line up lor

llK tickets

By Gary Wull
StofflVr/ter

john Kirtley took a chance by staying
home during Spring Break in order to have
a chance to follow UK in the tournament.

The Wildcats’ win on Saturday meant
his bet paid off, and he was one of about 40
students in line to buy tickets for UK’s next
two games in Minneapolis.

“I'd rather go to the ballgame than go to
Florida,”JKjrtley said. “It gives us two
Spring Breaks in a row.”

The tickets cost $68 for two sessions to
attend the UK-Utah game Thursday
evening and the possibility of seein UK
compete against the winner 0 the
Louisville-W'ake Forest matchup Saturday.

Students did not receive actual tickets,
but vouchers to be redeemed at the
Metrodome Box Office, where they will be
exchanged for tickets.

The 13—hour trip to Minneapolis could
be exhausting, especially ifthe snowstorms
which could hit Kentucky tomorrow head
north. However, this didn't prevent some
UK students from purchasing the vouchers.

Kevin Reed, a finance senior, saw it as
the last chance to see the Cats play this sea—
son.

“VVe’ve been saving tip and we've got
our friends’ van, so we’re ready to go,"
Reed said.

Why not watch the game on television?

If you ask civil engineering junior Bren—
don Brown, he will tell you there is a differ—
ent atmosphere at the real game.

“It’s just that you’re (in the middle of
the) action up there.”

Communication junior Holly Ratliff had
already bought upper level tickets three
weeks ago, but was hoping that the tickets
she received would be better.

“IVIy dad bought tickets about three
weeks ago, so we’ve been planning this for a

 

while," she said.

Rodney Stiles, coordinator for adminis-
trative services, said the tickets will be much
better than those given to the general pub—
lic. The students who go to the game will
be sitting behind the UK band on the floor.

()ne freshman who stood in line for
about 20 minutes decided against going to
Minneapolis after realizing she had an exam
Thursday.

“I didn't realize I had a exam on Thurs—
day,“ said chemical engineering freshman
Joanna Kennedy. “I had tickets for the
games here and I really didn’t have
enough money for both (games)."

Mathematics freshman Jessica Stewart
joined Kennedy in stepping out of line, but
had plans to attend the Final Four in the
Meadowlands.

“I got out of line when I heard they had
650 tickets for the Final Four,” Stewart
said. Those who did not get tickets through
yesterday’s lottery can still purchase upper
level tickets for $20 a piece or $40 for two
session tickets on \Vednesday at 9 a.m. by
calling (612) 948-5455.

Brien Ellis, a sixth—year assis-
tant professor of marketing at the
UK Gatton College of Business
and Economics, was killed Sun—
day in an automobile accident in
Georgia.

Ellis, 39, of Lexington, was
traveling north on Interstate 75
one mile south of Ashburn, (4a.,
when his car hydroplaned on
rain-slicked roads at 9:16 pm.

The car crossed the median
and sideswiped a tractor-trailer,
the Georgia State Patrol said.
Also killed was a passenger in
Ellis’ car, Mariam B. Carter, 25,
of Lexington.

“Brien was one of our really
good teachers, and an important
person in our marketing area,"
said Fred Morgan, director of the
School of Mona ement at the
Gatton College 0 Business.

“He was an active 5 onsor of
the student chapter of t e Ameri-
can Marketing Association and
was always available for stu-
dents.”

Morgan said Ellis would be

atly missed by business stu-

ents, especially undergraduates.

".

“Undergraduates will particu-
larly miss him because of their
involvement in the (AMA).”

Ellis co-taught Introduction to
Business this semester, which
Morgan said had an enrolltnent
ofabout 800 students.

He also taught Marketing
Management in the master's of
business administration pro—
gram.

“He's taught a variety of other
things in our undergraduate
school,” Morgan said.

Ellis had taught marketing at
UK since 1989, a year before he
completed work on his doctorate
at the University of Alabama.

He was a co-owner of Cajun
Kitchen, a five-store chain with
one operating in Lexington and
another planned for the city.

He planned to leave the UK
faculty in May to begin market-
ing menu items developed at
Cajun Kitchen to restaurants,
grocery stores, convenience
stores and cafeterias.

He had earned his bachelor's
degree in communication in 1979
and his master‘s degree in mar-
keting in 1986, both from the
University of Alabama.

Clinton budget
includes new tax cuts

\\'AS111.\'(£’I7().\' — President Clinton plans to
unveil a fiscal 1997 budget yesterday calling for
nearly $100 billion in tax cuts over the next seven
years, documents show. The plan also projects a
balanced budget by 2002 and assumes Clinton will
strike a deal with Republicans for some quick sav-
ings.

Pages from the president's election‘year bud Yet,
obtained by The Associated Press, show that C in—
ton expects a $164.2 billion deficit in fiscal 1997,
which begins Oct. 1, dropping to a $7.6 billion sur—
plus in 2002. That would be the first year the gov-
ernment completed with black ink in its ledger
book since 1969.

Fiscal 2002 is the same year Clinton and Repub-
licans aimed at for balancing the budget during
their yearlong, inconclusive fiscal battle last year.
The president's decision to retain 2002 as a target
a which congressional Republicans plan to do as
well ..- reflects a desire to avoid accusations that
they are letting the budget—balancing deadline slip.

Sex Pistols coming hack lor the money

LONDON — The Sex Pistols are back, and it's
not anarchy that’s driving them — its money.

The seminal punk—rock band formed 21 years
ago and released a few singles starting with “Anar-

years. Its members had little solo success, and
bassist Sid Vicious died of a drug overdose in 1979
while awaiting trial on charges of murdering his
girlfriend.

Instead of sending out resumés and stressing over

Serve Across America, Inc. is a Christian—based
service organization that allows volunteers to
choose from a wide range of activities, frotn help—
ing to build low—income housing to acting as a
mentor to runaway kids. Participants work in three
different locations for four to six months each, for a
total of 14 months.

Volunteers live together in communities, usually
consisting of a house of five to 20 people. Each
member of the community is responsible for
household chores and duties.

This arrangement allows the participants to
develop close interpersonal relationships. By living
in the community that they are serving, volunteers
also can affect the people they are helping on a per-
sonal level.

Volunteer communities are spiritually based and
encourage the examination, development and
expression of faith. Groups often conduct daily
prayer sessions, hold group discussions and have
guest speakers.

Despite its Christian foundation, Serve Across
America encourages people of all religious beliefs
to join. Likewise, it serves anyone in need, regard-
less of their religious belief, race, color, creed, sex
or national origin.

In exchan e for their work, Serve Across Ameri—
ca provides 11 living expenses for its volunteers,
including food, housing, travel, training, a monthly
stipend and help with health insurance.

Serve Across America asks each of its volunteers
to create a project documenting his or her experi-
ences, using virtually any medium. After complet—
ing their term of service, the volunteers present
their projects to other groups, such as churches and
schools.

Andrew Newsom, the or anization's founder
and executive director, said is organization can
send volunteers to a large number of sites in Ken<
tucky.
Probably the largest group in Kentucky that
Serve Across America sup lies with volunteers is
the Christian Appalachian roject, or CAP, he said.

CAP offers diverse volunteer opportunities, but
many sites do not have volunteers, he said.

“Unfortunately, a lot of people just don't know
about them,” he said.

One such site is the Galilean Home in Liberty,
Ky., which cares for babies whose mothers are in
prison.

CAP includes several dozen programs, about
100 volunteers, and several hundred staff members.
Serve Across America volunteers can also work
with one ofa half—dozen or so other organizations
in Kentucky.

The next “class” of Serve Across America volun—
teers will be 'n work in June. Their term will be
complete in ugust of next year.

Solo artists otter distinct new albums

By Robert 0tu
Am Editor

“Weird Al” Yankovic
Bad Hair Day
Scotti Bros. Records

titl/Z

Ever since “My Bologna" 16
years a 0, “Weird
Al” Yan ovic has
been churning
out the best
song parodies
in the busi-
ness. \Vith
Bad Hair Day,
Yankovic's lat-
est album, he
once again
proves that he
is the undis—
puted king of
musical comedy.

 
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
   
  
 
  
  
  
 
  

The album
opens with
“Amish Par—
adise,” a take‘off ‘

of (Ioolio's mega—
hit and Grammy .
Award—winning tale
of urban life, “Gangs- X
ta’s Paradise.” “'
“As I walk through
the valley where I har—
vest my grain/I take a
look at my wife and
realize she‘s very
plain/But that's just perfect
for an Amish like me”
sings Yankovic in his g
best rapper voice. ,i
The best parody
on the album is
“Cump,” a strange
distortion of the Presi~
dent of the United States of

America’s “Lump."

Now here’s a case where
Yankovic’s lyrics are actually more
intelligent than the original.

“(lump sat alone on a bench in
the park/‘My name is Forrest,’
he'd casually remark, begins the
song about Forrest Gump.”

Keeping with tradition,
Yankovic has included on the
album a polka that includes a ton
of popular songs. Alanis Moris—
sette, Smashing Pumpkins, Foo
Fighters, Red Hot Chili Peppers
and Nine Inch Nails are all
meshed together into one beauti-
fully flowing polka. Although the

polka is not as good as “Polka
Your Eyes Out” from the Off

the Deep End album, it
still holds its own.

Included 'on the

y \ album is a

llll baseball takes a break lrom 8E0

l/VlJitney realized dream while
serving as a bat boy for l/Vildcats

 

By Robert Morgan
Staff ll 'r'zm'

“To know me is to know base-
ball," UK pitcher Curtis \Vhitney
said. “I honestly don't know what I
would do without it.”

Most kids in Kentucky dream
about playing basketball. \Vhit-
ney, however, was different. “hit—
my dreamed the original Ameri-
can sports dream — playing pro—
fession-.11 baseball.

\I'hen \Vhitney came home
from school, he didn t lace up his
high tops; instead he jogged up
the street to the UK practice field
to begin his daily duties as a bat
boy for the \Vildcat base—
ball teain.

From age eight, \Vhit-
ne1 was raised by his sister
C liarlotte and her hus-

VI hitne1 l11s attended '.1 little
league world series in addition to
receivmg .1l—l state honors his
junior and senior years in high
school.

“It occurred to tne later on that
he was more observant (as a bat
boy) and learned more than 1 real—
ly thought," said Madison, who
remembered the time when \\’hit—
ney ran the equipment golf cart
into the outfield wall.

“While he was (a bat boy), I
never thought of him ever being a
big time college baseball player.
Evidently, he learned .1 lot."

Besides the experience picked
up around the UK practice dia—
1nond,\V hitney also
received valuable yet simple
advice from his brother- in-
law.

Holloway proved to be an in for
\I'hitney, who soon became a bat
boy for the Cats.

Today, the love affair between
\I'hitney, baseball and UK contin-
ues.

After being highly recruited

decided to attend UK.

This transformation, however,
was no accident.

Instead of being pushed to
work, \Vhitney pushed himself to
succeed. I11 his illustrious career,

 

bought \Vhitney a glove at
age nine.

“I told him that you only
spend about two hours on
the field practicing during the day
and you’ve got to make the most
ofit. He understood that."

he said he was inspired by some of
the players he eventually got to
know. Through his bat boy expe-

kind of an impact athletes can have
on youth.

“Whether we want it or not,
college athletes are role models,“
\Vhitney
