SUMMERKENTUCKY

 

As avid Kernel readers, I
expect you all know
June 30 was the last
day in office for
former UK President
Charles Wethington.
He now assumes a
position as a
fundraiser. But we at
the Kernel thought it
would be funnier if
he took a different
job, because we
honestly have
nothing better to
talk about. The only
other topics were
"Composers of the
1870s" and "Saved
by the Bell" reruns.

- With his experience in
"Presidenting"
(technically. you can
make a verb out of
anything),
Wethington shouldn‘t
have a problem

working for
Hardee's. it sounds
easy but have you
ever tried to break
open one of those
biscuit cartons
without tearing it
up?

- He could be a
fundraiser for other
not-sogreat-but-
soon‘to-be-great
things. A few with
potential: the
Lexington Legends.
TiVo and sliced
bread.

- There is no reason
Wethington can't put
out his own rap
album. it seems
they'll let anyone do
that these days. He
could be DJ Chuck or
ice C.

- Now I know Dick
Cheney is recovering
nicely from surgery
but it's always safe
to have a backup.
Some of you will say,
"The speaker of the
House is next in
line," but the
Constitution is
flexible.

0 I've heard begging on
the side of the road
can make you some
decent money.
Wethington could
hold a sign that
reads, "Will raise
funds for funds."

- With all the woes the
football program has
been going through,
it's only a matter of
time before
Wethington takes the
helm.

0 I bet TV networks
would love to have
him on one of their
new reality shows
about aging
fundraisers and Gen
X losers all stuck
together in a
Volkswagen Beetle.

- He could always write
for Left of Center.
He would be better
than the room full of
monkeys and
typewriters.

EDITOR Ill CHIEF

More than 300 administra-
tors. faculty, staff and students
gathered Monday morning at 8:30
at the plaza outside the Patterson
Office Tower.

The reason UK President
[lee Todd‘s first official address.

During his address, Todd said
UK must do more for the state of
Kentucky.

“Someone asked me a minute
ago if this was the last day of my
administration. what would I like
to say about my legacy. What I’d
like to say is that the University
of Kentucky did more for the state
of Kentucky than any state uni-
versity did in the country.“ he
said.

Todd said cooperation and
collaboration are necessary for
UK to impact Kentucky.

“In order for us to have the
impact. we will have to work to-
gether with other people and we
will do that," he said.

a number of changes on campus.

Among the changes at the 0f-

of park benches and a UK Food

Administrative changes

The executive committee of
the UK Board of Trustees is meet‘
ing today at 10 am. to consider re
organizing UK‘s administrative
structure.

It is widely believed Todd will
request UK's administration be
changed from the present chancel-
lor system to a provost system.
which would call for a provost to
oversee academics at UK and re-
port directly to the president.

Todd spoke with members of the

Finnish-ing your
college life with

for by the government. A Finnish student can begin his academ

gree. never having paid a euro

And yes. one of the greatest iliffer‘»’=nces betyyeen college in

'I hriye literally not seen any of my professor s in in» years."
said Tuomas .»\nttila. a iayy school niriior "In a yyay it is t‘\“lr
paradoxical. but it is true "

The differences between the education systems make this
possible. There are no semesters in Finland. Students are of
fered certain times during the school year. which Usually lasts
from September until May. to take exams. if students pass the
exams. they earn credit hours for the courses

The exams make it possible to earn between in and so cred
it hours per year without ever entering a classroom All stu
dents must do is find out what material the exam will cover and
start reading.

There are some subiects. though. that require
such as music and some languages

Studying at a Finnish university is described by many as
independent and there is generally no one to encourage stu
dents to study harder it they are performing poorly. Some stu
dents enjoy the autonomy the system offers,

"i enjoyed the freedom that the Finnish ediii ation system
provided for me throughout school.” said Kaisa I,.iitini~r i MW
graduate ofthe I'niy'ersity of Helsinki 'I it'll like i : ould cias.

but still feels a bit confused sometimes

"Flverv now and then I miss the high school. because i had
my classmates and teachers who were there eyery day. ‘ he said

Although the Finnish education system may seem like a
dream to some. entering a university can be one of the most dii‘»
ticuii tasks a Finnish person has to go through.

Finland has 1:3 universities located throughout the country.
Since education is free. acceptance is not dependent on finances:
however. each university evaluates students based on their
high school education and exams covering particular subjects.

For example. the ITniy'ersity‘ of Helsinki accepted only 13.3
percent of layy \(‘lllifll applicants in 1999. according to university
officials, Only h 1 percent of psychology majors were accepted.

If students are not accepted. tht“ have to wait a year until
they have the option to try again.
