INDEPENDENT SINCE 1971

Controversy, contusion mar SEA court picks

70nes criticized, November withdraws

By Jennifer Smith
Stafl Writer

Political infi hting and a probable con-
stitutional vio ation have mired T.A.
Jones’ choices for judicial spots in the Stu-
dent Government Association Supreme
Court.

SGA President Jones announced four
justice nominees and one temporary jus—
‘tice nominee yesterday afternoon, but
Pete November, an ex-SGA resident,
already has dropped his name om con-
sideration.

November made the decision last night

after current Senate Pro Tempore
Heather Hennel expressed concern over
his inability to seperate politics and per-
sonal matters.

“I have a roblem with Pete Novem—
her,” she said? when asked for opinion on
the nominees. “He can’t keep his personal
feelings out of politics.”

November, who was president during
the 1992-93 school year, said he has been
removed from the office long enough and
has no feelings for or a ainst the current
student government leadership.

However, November still decided to
turn down the nomination.

“I feel like if my nomination is going to
cause controvery, then I’m going to do
what’s best for TA. and student govern-
ment and remove my name from consid-
eration,” November said.

Jones could not be reached for com-
ment after November’s exit from nomina—
tion process last night.

Jones’ fifth nominee was designated as
a interim choice to fill a spot until a final
nominee can be found.

According to the SGA constitution, he
must appoint a full board. Thus, Jones
announced Brandon Voelker to be an
interim appointee.

However, two current senators are
concerned that the designation of an
“interim justice" during the school year is

Voelker, a fourth-year political science
major, was never made aware of his tem-
orary appointment. He said that even if
lie is just filling in, he felt honored to be
nominated to be a seat on the board.

Jones’ intentions to make
nominations is when he is planning to do
it —— tonight’s Senate meeting.

Astronomy professor Gary Fer—
land and associate professor Tom
Troland have a dream of seeing
stars through a telescope in the
.y campus’s very own observatory.

‘3 . “We have plans in need of sup-
' port,” Troland said.

In the early part of the century,
UK had an observatory on South
Campus where the Kirwan—Bland—
ing Complex now rests.

When South Campus construc-
tion started, the observatory was
torn down, and plans for another
one were never made until recent—

1y

 

“We are not there yet,”
Troland said. “All of the plans are
very informal ones.”

Troland said there are many
reasons for building a new obser-
vatory.

He said one of the main reasons
is to provide a lab for the hundreds
of astronomy students each
semester.

“We have 1,000 students per
semester taking astronomy with—
out a lab,” he said.

“Astronomy is an observatory
science. No one would think of
taking a science without a lab.”

Ferland summed up the finan-
cial backing necessary to get an
observatory built.

“The money is modest, and the
need is great,” he said.

“This is a very cheap thing. We
predict $100,000 from the plans
we’ve reviewed. The cost would
be relativel insignificant in com-
parison to e cost of tuition.”

Tips on battling
racism ofifered
tonight at speech

The grip of racism, it has been
suggested, is sustained not
through outri ht acts of injustice
but through suitler experiences.

So it was for Nathan Rutstein, a
nationally known lecturer and
founder of the Institute for Heal-
ing Racism.

Tonight, he presents “Racism
in America: A Prescription for the
Disease” at 6 .m. in the Old Stu-
dent Center heatre.

In an incident years ago that he
often relates to audiences, Rut-
stein found that he, a self-
described bastion of social con-
sciousness, was just as susceptible
to racist tendencies as anyone.

The realization came one day
while he was driving. Frustrated
that a vehicle in front of him was
moving too slowly, the impulse to
call the black motorist a derogato-
ry name came over him. He did
not, but in that moment Rutstein

years for an observatory to be con—
structed.

“I’d be very disappointed if we
did not have an observatory in the
next five years,” Troland said.

There are no proposed sites for
a new observatory. Ferland and
Troland are looking at several
locations on South Campus and
even a few spots on the tops of
campus buildings.

Their main oal in developing
a site is to make it accessible to
eve one.

“ fit is not accessible, it does
not exist,” Troland said.

Another reason Ferland cited
for having an observatory cited is
the positive image it could project
for UK.

“Astronomy is a very positive
thing,” he said. “An observatory
could provide a positive image for
IJK.”

Troland agreed an observatory
could be used not only for UK
students, but also for high school
and elementary students around
the region.

He said it would help increase
school age children’s interest in
astronomy.

Both Ferland and Troland said
they don’t understand why an
observatory has never been made a
reality.

“All major universities have
observatories,” Ferland said.
“EKU has a fine one, and U ofL
has two.”

Troland said there have been
many calls to their department
recently.

“A lot is happening with the sky

 

now," he said. “And all we have to Illllolmlt "If [BOXING GLASS Astronomy instructors Thomas Troland and Gary Ferland

scopes.”

   

 

the ills

captured a germ to which he
thought he was immune.

Simple experiences such as this
one revealed to him that racism is
very much a disease of mind.

Working from this principle,
Rutstein, a journalist, author and
educator, designed a system for
healing racist attitudes that relies
heavily on the sharing of personal
feelings and experiences.

At a workshop scheduled for

 

 

 

tomorrow at 2 p.m. in the Student
Center Ballroom, the public will

class helps
women learn

By Jenniter Smith
Staff Writer

UK’s course “Women in Transition” is a refresh-
er course for women who are considering changing
careers or returning to the classroom.

“The class is to help women who are planning a
career change or coming back into the workplace
after they have raised a family,” said Betty Gabehart,
an academic adviser with the program.

Career counselor and course instructor Donna
Baldwin ex lained another pu se of the course.

“It is to help women learn a ut themselves,” she
said.

Baldwin said most women takin the course have
many roles to play, such as mot er, wife, career
woman and volunteer.

She said many women come to the course with a
sense of urgency that they must set new goals.

The class uses personality tests, self-exploration
and vocational indicators to analyze what careers
and study pro ams best fit the student. It also takes
into account t e woman’s abilities, experiences and
goals.

a fll‘tlflll compromise

CAIRO, Egypt — Delegates at the U.N. popu-
lation conference made a breakthrough last night
on the heated issue of abortion, but the Vatican
refused to go along with the compromise.

The abortion debate has entan led efforts to
draft a 20-year plan to slow the worid’s population
growth. Yesterday’s hard—fought negotiations dealt
with a single paragraph in the l 13~page draft
report.

The compromise paragraph would urge all gov—
ernments to deal with the health impact of unsafe
abortion as a major public health concern. It would
also urge governments to reduce the need for
abortion by expanding and improving family plan-
ning services.

Delegates from the 182 nations attending the
conference were to give the section final consider-
ation today. The United States supports the com—
promise, while the European Union, Norway and
Sweden do not.

VATICAN CITY — Pope John

NEW BIIVII‘OIIIIIBIltaI SCIENCES dean
III‘ST black female to I183" GDIIBQB

VVal/eer stresses

job skills over

her sex, color

By Amelia Perkins
Contributing Writer

With the new semester under
way, the campus is afloat in a sea
of new faces. And at UK’s College
of Human Environmental Sci—
ences, there Is one very important
new face — that of Retia Scott
Walker, the college’s new dean.

When Walker assumed her
pzsition earlier this month, it gave

er the distinction of being only
the second black dean on campus
(I. John Harris of the Colle e of
Education is the other) anti the
first black woman dean at UK.

“I never thought of being the
first (black female dean),” Walker
said. “I accepted this position as a
professional career move. I did not
think of It in terms of ‘Are there
any other African—Americans?’ ”

Still, Walker said she thinks her
selection does symbolize some-
thing.

“I see my appointment as
progress,” she said. “Universities
are recognizing the fact that
African— Americans are qualified to
hold positions with much respon—

sibility.

“I could be called a ‘twofer,’
two for one. I am ualified to do
the job, and I add iversity to the
University because I am a African~
American female.”

Walker served for the past 11
years as chairwoman of the
Department of Human Ecolo
the University ofMaryland- dgyst-
ern Shore.

Walker replaces Peggy
Meszaros, who accepted a position
as head of the College of Human
Resources at Virginia Polytechnic
Institute and State University.

With 30 years of service in edu-
cation, Walker brings not only
career longevity to the dean’s
office but also variety. Her class-
room experiences range from day
care to higher education. Walker
also taught Junior high and high
school in the New York City
School District.

“This range of experience has
given me erspective on educa-
tional need}; across a lifespan,”
Walker said. “These experiences
draw on each another.”

Serving in the administration at
a small school also pre ared
Walker to assume the role 0 dean
at UK, she said.

“Being department chair caused
me to wear more than one hat,”
Walker said.

She performed a variety of dif-
ferent tasks in that position. But

Students with busy schedules
can get their college educations
delivered to them at home.

UK offers undergraduates tele-
vision courses designed for stu-
dents whose lifestyles do not allow
time for class.

“Television courses are primar—
ily designed to meet the needs of
non-traditional students,” said
Nofflet D. Williams of UK’s
Media Education, headquartered
at Franc Hall.

Students who work full-time
and students who are involved in
several other activities are some of
those who take advantage of tele—
vision courses, he said.

“It’s a real convenience factor
for the students,” he said.

A variety of courses are offered
by the program. Astronomy 191
and 192, Family Studies 251 and
252 and Biology 110 are some of
the more opular courses,
Williams sai . Other courses
include history, sociology, French
and Spanish.

The duration of the television

courses is 15 weeks, with finals
taking place on the 16th week.

There are 26 television pro-

ams broadcast on Kentucky
Educational Television.

Two half-hour courses are con—
secutively aired per week, and
broadcasts also may be seen on
Telecable channel 16.

“About 75 percent of the stu—
dents that enrolled own a VHS
player,” Williams said

Taping the programs allows
students time to view them at their
convenience, such as before or
after work or when their children
are asleep.

Williams said he thinks stu-
dents in the classes are highly
motivated because the programs
are simple and the teachers are
good.

“(Faculty) make the course
equal to or better than the tradi-
tional class,” he said.

The television course students
must meet in classes for 2 1/2
hours, six to eight times a
semester, as compared to 32 times
a semester for regular courses.

Seaton funding tilt with senators

By Carrie Morrison
Senior Staff Writer

When the full Student Government Associ-
ation Senate meets tonight, interim legislation
on the Seaton Center probably will not irk the
summer absentees, some senators say.

In July, the interim Senate allocated
$10,000 to the trainin facility on South Cam-
pus, passing the bill y an 11-3 vote. Now,
SGA has cut the cost by about $4,000, SGA
president T.A. Jones said.

“I’m sure we’re going to (save money),” said
athletics concerns committee chairman Mark
Riddle.

Though the cost of the Seaton Center
equipment has been reduced. the July bill still
may be unconstitutional.

One article in the SGA Constitution states
the interim Senate may vote on emergency
issues if two-thirds of the full Senate is resent.
Another says that any issue must be defgrred to
the full Senate in the fall if, by its nature, it can
be delayed.

Senate Pro Tempore Heather Hennel rec—
ognized the potential conflict.

“In all honesty, there could be a case that
said we could defer it,” she said.

“I think the case can be argued constitution—
ally either way.”

Senator at Large Alan Aja did not support
the bill in July.

“I had to vote ‘no’ in the summer because I
felt it was incomplete,” he said.

“I wanted to table it when all the senators
were here . I’d rather see the money go to
scholarships or child care (grants).”

But Aja said he is keeping an open mind for
the meeting tonight.

“If it comes up and I know it’s something
positive for the students, I’ll be positive,” he
said.

LeAnn Norton, chairwoman of SGA’s cam-
pus relations committee, voted ‘yes’ on the bill.

The UK Athletics Association didn’t assign
any money to the project, and the Seaton Cen-
ter is in dire need of equi ment, she said.

“My freshman year, w en I lived over there,
I remember I tried to get in and it was a mess,”
Norton said.

“(The interim senators’) logic was that they
wanted the equipment moved in so students

could use it when school started.”

Norton pointed out that students who don’t
have cars have no other free workout facilities.

She also said that Riddle, Jones, Senator
Russell Harper and all those involved “put a lot
of work into it.”

Jones said the Seaton bill has been passed
and is not up for a Senate vote.

“It’s a done deal and it’s a good deal,” he
said.

“Three weeks after we settle on this bid, this
equipment should be settled in.”

Jones said the installation of the Nautilus
and stair-climbing machines will only take
about one day.

Hennel, however, is open to debate on the
question of constitutionality.

“I welcome anyone to tell us we’re doing
something wrong,” she said. “If there’s a stu-
dent or a senator who wants to challenge it,
they can.”

Overall, it seemed the senators this summer
believe the decision on the bill was wise.

“It’s a service to the students,” Hennel said.

Aja agreed.

“Our job is to represent the students.”

Senate budget may increase

Tonight’s Student Government
Association Senate meeting will
focus on this year’s senate budget,
which could reach $70,000.

That amount of money, some
say, could lead to problems.

“I think that giving the senate
$60,000 to $70,000 to work with
would mean too many (executive
branch) programs had to be cut to
get that amount,” said LeAnn
Norton, chairwoman of the Sen-
ate’s campus relations committee.

“There are more programs in
the executive branch that could
use that money instead of cutting
them to allow more money for
Senate,” Senate Pro Tempore
Heather Hennel said.

The senate may also fail to 've
proper consideration to funcTi’ng

ills brought to the floor, Hennel
said. Instead, senators could be
more prone to giving as much of
the possible $70,000 to whoever
asks for it, she said.

But SGA President T.A. Jones
said no executive programs have
been cut to allow more money for
the Senate. Jones confirmed that
he is willing to give the Senate
about $70,000 in tonight’s budget.

This summer’s temporary bud-
get, which is su posed to be an
approximation 0 the bud et to be
passed in the fall, was 34,000,
Hennel said. Hennel also said no
one in the SGA office has a copy
of this summer’s budget.

Most senators seemed to agree
that $35,000 would be enough for
the Senate to work with.

“I’d rather see the executive
branch use the mone for certain
purposes and look at these purpos—
es closely, than just passing any
bill that comes along,” Norton
said.

But Hennel said she believes
that figure is too low.

“I don’t feel that $35,000 is a
drop in the bucket for a Senate
budget,” she said.

She also said she thinks the
Senate should have money avail-

able to use without having to go to - d - - l l
the executive branch to get it. ]u “70 33 36110715

' Senator at Large Alan Aja said
the $45,000 would please him as
long as more money is used in stu-

“As long as money goes to stu-

care what the actual dollar amount
is,” Aja said.

The proposed amount will be a
significant increase over last year’s
$50,471 senate allowance, which
was only so high because of a
$25,000 carry-over from the 1992
senate’s $74,727 tally.

Keller and Chaney both
said the remaining nominees
— Gerald Coleman, Michelle
Slone and Dave Stringer -—
should have no problem gain-
ing Senate approval.

Slone, a first—year law stu-
dent, said it does not really a
matter that she is the only
woman appointee.

“(Bein nominated) is an
honor," S one said.

Stringer and ~Coleman

ment on their nominations.

Radio station has
lengthy history

Although it hasn’t received the
same publicity as its harder-edged
Cousin VVRFL-FM, UK’s public
radio station, VVUKY-FM, con-
sistently a different segment of the
radio—listening public.

“We officially came on the air
March 13, 1941,” station employ-
ee Ned Keller said. “That makes
us the second oldest college—
owned station in the country."

The station’s long history is
reflected in its musical program-
ming, which is mainly classical
and jazz. Music, however, is just a
small part of the overall program-
ming of the station, which broad-
casts on 91.3 FM and 92.1 FM.

As a member station of Nation-
al Public Radio, WUKY‘s broad-
casts also include BBC newscasts,
popular NPR shows like “All

Things Considered,” as well as
locally produced shows featuring
