RICHMOND, Ky. —— Universi-
ty presidents yesterday endorsed a
proposal that could mean students
would pay $20 million more in
tuition next year.

The Council on Higher Educa-
tion, which is charged with setting
tuition rates at the eight universi-
tics and community colleges.
made no decisions.

But just having the topic of
tuition on the table in the middle
of a two-year budget cycle ind-
icates some changes may be
imminent.

The discussion was prompted
by a reduction in state appropria-
tions for higher education this year
and the possibility that further cuts
might be coming.

UK President Charles Wething-
ton said while he is against tution

meCiBCS, the state‘s revenue
leaves universities with few
options.

“I was opposed to any tuition
increases when we had the ﬁrst
two budget cuts." Wethington

I was opposed to any tuition increases when
we had the first two budget cuts. However,
we've recently been asked to at least prepare
for another budget cut, and if that happens it
might be time to turn to other sources of

revenue.

—- Charles Wethington,

UK president

said. “However, we‘ve recently
been asked to at least prepare for
another budget cut. and if that
happens it might be time to turn to
other sources of revenue."

Wethington said he will not rely
on tution increases to deal with
further cuts. however.

“1 don‘t think we ought to have
any potential increase for any
particular budget cut. but that we
should maintain our current policy
which I think is very sound."

“We can‘t continue to sit and let

our universities have less and less
money and ask them to do more
and more." said Western Kentucky
l'niversity President Thomas
Meredith.

Ron l:agl.n, the new president of
Morehead State l'myemty, pio<
tested that tuition was being
viewed as a replacement for state
tax funding.

"We're iii a panic situation now
and we're looking at tuttion as one
area to be considered." liaglin
said.

Wethington: Schools left with few options

The council has traditionally set
tuition rates two years in advance.
Next year's rates have already
been set w 8360 per semester for
full-time undergraduate students at
community colleges: $700 for
regional unitersities; and 8880 at
the doctoral institutions, LTK and
the l'niversity of Louisville.

The rates have been based on a
lonnula that takes into account
tuttion rates at benchmark schools
surrounding Kentucky and. most
importantly. per capita personal in»
come in Kentucky.

l'smg that same formula. but
with updated figures. ttiition for

Wainscott selected
to lead fraternities

By Brant Weich

Senior Staff Writer
When new lnterfratemity
Council president Michael

Wainscott accepted the position
yesterday. he pledged to place lFC
alcohol policy at the top of his list
of priorities.

“We have a good alcohol policy
now we just have to improve it and
work on the enforcement of it
more." said Wainscott, a member
of Alpha Gamma Rho social
fraternity.

The lFC chose new executive of-
ﬁcers its meeting yesterday.

The council elected seven offi-
cers, who will take office in two
weeks to make plans for the spring
semester.

Jeremy Bates. the current lFC
president, said Wainscott is the best
man for the job.

“I think Mike will do an
excellent job.” Bates said.

“Out of all the potential candid-
ates, l felt he was the most quali-

lied. He’s worked close to me, and
I feel he has learned the ropes in
what it takes to do the job."

Wainscott said his previous work
with IFC got him interested in be-
coming the council‘s president.

“The more I got involved in lFC,
the more I wanted to do things with
it," said Wainscott, a agricultural
economics senior from Hawthom
Woods, III.

“I thought I had a good base of
knowledge of lFC and the inner
workings of the fraternities as
serving as an officer in my fratemi-
ty. also.“

Wainscott said his three major
plans for next semester are
improving the alcohol policy,
diversity and philanthropy.

Wainscott said he would improve
diversity on campus by creating a
diversity task force.

“It would work on ways to make
sure our greek system here at UK is

Local United Way behind fund-raising goal

UNITED WAY FUNDRAISlNG

By Nicole Heumphreus
Staff Writer

With only 14 days left in the ct
tywide United Way fund-raising
campaign, United Way officials at
UK are worried that the school‘s
effort will not reach its $460,000
goal.

“We have achieved only 69
percent of our projected goal. wtth
$315,000 raised so far," said Susan
Byars, director of Academic
Support Services and co-
chairwoman for United Way at
UK.

Byars said she believes the prob-
lems with raising the funds llll\
year stem from the University‘s
budgctcuts.

“The problem ts there aren't as
many employees this year as there
were last year. There are about 500
less employees this year. and no
one received pay raises."

In past years. UK has not had
problems raising funds for the [In-
ited Way. In fact. the amount of
money raised last year was more
than the projected goal for this
year.

By'ars said that the members of
the committee realized that raising
funds might be more difficult this
year, and she said they believed
that this year‘s goal was more
realistic for the conditions at UK.

Low-cost birth control returns to University

By Tia Sliverthorne
Staii Writer

After a legal technicality forced
the University to raise the cost of
oral contraceptives to students, Uni-
versity officials have found a way
to offer students the original
price.

Yesterday the Kentucky Clinic
Pharmacy began selling oral contra-
ceptives at $6 a packet — the price
before UK’s recent controversy
with five major pharmaceutical
companies.

Adding certain procedures to the
way students receive the medicine
enabled UK to overturn the deci-
sion.

“We feel that we can (provide the
low cost oral contraceptives to) the
students under two stipulations:
They have to have a (UK) ID, and
the prescription has to go through
the Student Health Center," said
Mike Hunt, director of pharmacy.
“We need to investigate further
with some of the other areas."

Showing an ID should not be a
problem. since students have to
show one to use the Student Health
Center anyway.

According to the companies pro-
viding the low-cost birth control,
UK was no longer a “closed sys—
tem," which violated a Supreme

Court decision regarding low cost
medictne Ior riot-Ior-prolit organi~
zations.

The intent of the ruling was to
prohibit unfair competition.

Because the decision was vague.
the five companies did not site the
same reasons for canceling UK‘s
contract.

One company interpreted the de-
cision to mean that lowzcost medi-
cine can not be dispensed to outpa-
tients or former patients, and
students generally fall into this cate-
gory.

Another company said that active
outpatients were covert d as long as
they were under the continuing care
ofa UK physician.

Hunt said students can be inter-
preted as active outpatients with a
prescription from a 17K physician.

“Just because (they‘rei a student
(5) is not going to allow them to
have these (low-cost) drugs. It‘s be-
cause they're aciiye outpatientts),
(which) is why it‘s important to go
through Student Health." he said.

Spencer Tunier. director of Stu~
dent Health Service. said that a new
system was needed Ior prescriptions
anyway.

Previously. students could get
their prescriptions Iroiii other doc-
tors and have them cosigned by
Student .llealth. but not anymore.

Turner said

”Nobody who practices good
medicine countersigns. ilt makes
youi responsible for that patient at
that point." he said.

Other parts of the former system
needed refining. as well, he said.

“If a student is filling a prescrip—
tion from outside and you‘re (sup-
posed) to hate a ‘closed society,‘
you’ve got someone bringing in
Uncle Fred's prescription. and
that's not fair," he said.

Turner encouraged people to be
prepared for longer lines at certain
times this week because of the new
decision.

“We need to get the word out for
people to distribute themselves
throughout the day tat the phamia-
cy)." he said.

Students who don‘t have pre-
scriptions through Student Health
Will have a short grace period, Hunt
said.

“If the original prescription is
written by a non-l'K physician.
(we’ll) go ahead and honor it. but
we'll only give them a two month
supply.

”They have got two months to
comply to the new rules. I think
that's fair and in the best interests
of the students," he said.

“1 don't want to stress the

es to keep this Irotn happening
again.”

eight county area that depend on

Ballads, rockers unite on Soul Asylum album

Soul Asylum
Grave Dancers Union
Columbia Records

By John Abbott
Staff Critic

When I saw Soul Asylum's new
album Grave Dancers Union in the
store. I immediately grabbed it up.

i ﬁgured that Soul Asylum. a
Minneapolis outfit often mentioned
in the same breath as fellow Twin
Cities indie legends The Replace-
ments and Htisker Du. would deliv-
er the same brand of brash, exqui-
sitely sloppy guitar noisemaking
that The Replacements and Hasker
Du were so good at.

I expected to hear something
loud. ugly and distorted. Music to
hate your parents by.

Surprise, surprise.

Grave Dancers Union isn’t slop-
py at all. and it isn’t even very loud
most of the time. It has its share of
screamers, to be sure, and they're
all terrific. But the ear-benders are
balanced out with gentle. very pret-
ty songs.

The first time I played the CD. I

was disappointed that I had been
tricked into buying an album with
all this soft stuff on it, but all the
songs grew on me pretty quickly.

Not everyone can pull off a mix
of rockers and ballads without
sounding stodgy on the fast ones or
confused on the slow ones. but Soul
Asylum has that kind of versatility.

Lead vocalist David Pimer. who
also plays guitar and wrote all the
songs, is just as comfortable yelling
in your face as he is begging for
your forgiveness. He and fellow
guitarist Dan Murphy can turn the
dial up to 11 or pick up a pair of
acoustic guitars with equal facility.

This is a very lonely album. From
the bracing guitar anthems “Some-
body To Shove" and “Without A
Trace" to gorgeous songs like
“Homesick" and “Runaway Train.“
the theme is the same: not having
anyone there who cares. not having
anyone who understands.

Even the thumping “April Fool."
which sounds far too upbeat to be
depressing —— with a little tinkering.
actually, it could be a pretty fair
heavy metal song —— describes an
unsuccessful courtship of a girl who
doesn't seem to be listening.

The rousing “Somebody To
Shove" is easily the best of the
rockers. Boosted by a jarring wall
of guitars. Pimer desperately wails.
“I‘m waiting by the phone/Waiting
for you to call me up and tell me
that l'm not alone.“

Another highlight is the second
track. “Black Gold." which effec-
tively balances fragile acoustic
plucking with roaring power chords.
Not too hard. but not too soft.

On the softer side. the sleepy
“Runaway Train" is the winner:
gently strummed guitars and subtle
keyboards set the perfect mood for
this forlom tale.

“The Sun Maid." Pirner's delicate
ode to the sun. also is good. It‘s a
very slow, very quiet song. with
pretty strings hiding in the back-
ground and a nice horn counter-
pointing the acoustic guitar.

There's no deadwood to speak of
in the 12 cuts on this album. Most

of the songs are really good. and
even the songs that aren‘t quite as
solid will have a cool lyric or an un-
deniably catchy hook that keeps
playing in your head over and over.
Very few albums can maintain that
kind of consistency.

The rhythm section. comprising
bassist Karl Mueller and drummer
Grant Young. is very solid. but
packs few surprises.

There aren’t any stellar drum rolls
or bass lines that make me stand up
and salute. but that‘s fine; a really
good rhythm section doesn't have to
take over every single song in order
to do its job properly.

Between the two of them. Young
and Mueller generate more than suf-
ficient wattage to drive the songs
along nicely.

The title of this album probably is
tnore apropos than the band ever
figured. Some of the songs are pret-
ty grave. and others will make you
want to get up and dance — all of
them unified on one album. Check
it out.

UK’s weekend for Appalachian artists gives conferences 3 good name

Lynagh's may never recover
from its roll in the hay with Detroit
rockers Goober and the Peas two
Fridays ago.

Not only did Goober throw out
almost a field of hay on the crowd.
but he and the Peas also caused per-
haps the biggest mosh pit Lynagh‘s
has ever seen.

Or at least the biggest slam-
dancing brought on by folks
dressed like Buck Owens & The
Buckaroos. In fact. I‘m still sore
from Goober’s set-ending stage
dive into the crowd.

1963 and 1974. Twenty-five more
singles made it to the Top 10 during
that period. Wow.

One of country music’s ﬂashiest
troubadours. his influence is felt
throughout country music from
Dwight Yoakam and Jim Lauder-
dale to Marty Stuart, Rodney Crow-
ell and Radney Foster.

- However, if you're hesitant to
throw down the grocery and rent
money just to buy Buck’s box set
and indignantly tell your spouse 'n‘
kids “Dang Me" — like the late
Roger Miller would have —— then
tune into WRFL-FM’s “Hot Bur-
rito” show Sundays from 11 am.
to 2 pm. where Steve Holland and

associates serve up Buck, Dwight
and a whole lot more country-
correct material you’ll find to your
liking.

- If you missed Lucinda Wil-
liams‘ rare regional appearance at
Bogart's in Cincinnati on Sunday
night you missed a lot.

With her four piece band. which
included Citris lsaak‘s bassist. Wil-
liams weaved her way through a
brilliant set that included many of
the soft-spoken singer's numbers
like “Side of the Road," as well as a
host of tunes from her incredible
new release. Sweet Old World.

- Talking ’bout missing things,
one usually thinks of a conference
as a bunch of stuffy shirt intellectu-
als babbling incoherently about
some obscure subject.

Thus. I usually don’t mind miss-
ing them. UK’s Conference on
Appalachia was one of the best ex-
