Careful kids

The risk of contracting
meningitis is very
small, even if you have
been in contact with
someone who has
developed the
infection.

The bacteria which cause
meningitis are very
common. Most of us
will carry them at
some stage of our lives
without developing any
illness. Only a tiny
proportion of the
population will develop
meningitis if they come
into contact with the
bacteria. This is
because the bacteria
are very weak.

They survive for only a
short period of time
outside the body, so
they cannot live long in
the air and are not
carried on household
objects such as
clothes, furniture or
toys. This means that
you must be in very
close contact with
someone before the
bacteria can pass
between you. This can
happen quite regularly
but it is unlikely you
will develop meningitis
because most people
have a natural
resistance to the
bacteria.

Any
thoughts?

We love our rail. and we
know you love it too.
So come on students,
help us out by sending
in some ideas for rail
fodder. It does not
necessarily have to be
humorous, we take all
subjects seriously and
want students to take
part in what goes into
this newspaper.

Heck. we'll even let
faculty and staff join
in on this quest for rail
information and fun
for everyone. Just
send it to

Getting a taste of treats from the European Pastry Café,
part of the ongoing Cultural Diversity Festival on campus

By Manish Bhatia
STAFF WRITER

After more than two decades of exis-
tence, the European Pastry Cafe returned
to the Student Center this week as part of
the ongoing celebrations for Diversity
Week.

Delectable apple strudels. fluffy
Napoleon cakes and mouth-watering
quiches are just a few ofthe items laid out
in a European cafe style atmosphere. com-
plete with live music and fresh carna-
tions.

“We just love the Grenachei." was the
unanimous vote of approval from Ron Pen
and Jonathan Glixon. both professors of

musicology at UK.

The smooth toffee and chocolate pas-
try from France was the reason they kept
returning to the cafe for the last 10 years.
Glixon said.

Amanda Shaw. a foreign language and
international economics freshman. rel-
ished the ambience of European pictures
set among red and white tapestry.

“I really like the music." said Shaw. as
she scooped a helping of her cherry
brandy tort. a chocolate cake with cherry
ﬁlling.

Organized by the Cosmopolitan Club
and the International Hospitality Pro-
gram. the annual event is catered by Ser-
vatti Bakery from Cincinnati. The café

adds a European flavor to the Cultural I)i-
versity Festival. which runs from Feb. 22
through March 6.

“It's more than the food. It is the at-
mosphere and the experience." said Lily
Arasaratnam. a graduate student in com-
munications and adviser for the Cos»
mopolitan Club.

The organization functions as a social
club that facilitates friendships between
American and international students. she
said. Students interested in joining the
club can contact Arasaratnam at 2574067.

Swift makes another
change, passing torch

Committee chair says its time
to let someone else lead way

By Michael Downs
STAFF WRITER

Dean Louis Swift is ready to pass the
torch carrying the President’s Initiative
on Undergraduate Education.

“It‘s time for another person to come
in with his or her own ideas.“ Swift said.

Swift is on the steering committee for
the President’s Initiative and is still
putting the ﬁnishing touches on the ﬁnal
proposal. which he hopes to submit to
President Charles Wethington and his
staff in the next couple weeks.

Swift formed the committee to design
proposals to improve undergraduate edu-
cation at UK. He said that, although he
was glad he had the opportunity to form
the committee. he is ready for someone
else to take charge of implementing the
proposals.

“It was a nice thing to do with my last
year and I am very grateful," Swift said.

The proposal has now become some-
thing larger than the committee that
formed it, said Shirley Raines. vice chan-
cellor for Academic Affairs.

“The initiative will move forward
whether Dr. Swift is involved or not."
Raines said.

The proposal will beneﬁt from the ex
pertise and reputation of Swift. Raines
said. “It will add more credence to it (the
proposal) because he‘s such a respected
campus leader.“

Raines said the search for a new dean
has begun. Candidates for the position
will be drawn from both on and off UK's
campus. The candidates will be reviewed

coo--.-<'

by a Faculty Search Committee which
will include staff and students.

The Faculty Search Committee is be-
ing chaired by Michael Nietzel. dean of
the graduate school.

Nietzel said the committee was
formed at the beginning of this month and
it will begin reviewing applications for
the position shortly after March 1.

An applicant‘s ability to implement
and orchestrate changes outlined in the
proposal will be a determining factor in
selecting a new dean. N ietzel said.

“We will provide ﬁnalists for the posi-
tion with a draft of those proposals.“ Niet-
zel said. “We would be interested in how a
prospective dean would view and priori-
tize them.“

Lexington Chancellor Elisabeth
Zinser will make the final recommenda-
tion for an applicant to the president and
board of trustees.

Swift said his leaving will not effect
the proposals. They will be finished and
submitted before he leaves. The Presi-
dent's Initiative Committee will dissolve
after they submit the finished proposal.
Swift said.

Although some of the proposed
changes will be done administratively.
many will have to go through other chan-
nels, such as the University Senate. Swift
said.

“It‘s important to see this as a plan
for the future." Swift said

Swift said he would be willing to con-
tinue helping with the initiative if it was
necessary, but expects that he will be
most useful in his absence.

“They need to have me out of the pic-
ture," he said.

New administrators need to be free to
exercise their creativity in planning and
decision making. Swift said.

LCC, UK center pair to make
companies more efficient

By Richard Cook
ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR

“Time ﬂies when your having fun.“

And that is what Lexington Commu-
nity College and the UK Center for Robot-
ics and Manufacturing Systems is doing
with its lean manufacturing system.

“We are tapping into the lost creativi-
ty and intellectual capacity of the work
force," said Jim Dean. senior trainer for
lean manufacturing at L(‘(‘ and lean
manufacturing core team member at the
UKCRMS.

Lean manufacturing is a philosophy
for reducing time and resource waste, It
is a process of eliminating waste.
whether in manufacturing. administra-
tion. or even accounting. Dean said.

“If you have to bend over to pick up a
part, that is time that is wasted." said
Donna Davis. the director of community
partnership at LCC.

Lean manufacturing streamlines the
manufacturing process and eliminates
these wasted movements by arranging
the workspace. allowing Workers to dou-
ble or even triple their output with less
effort.

The process is tnodeled after the
Toyota plant in (,‘yeorgetown. which has
the distinction of being the most effi-
cient production line in the world. Dean
said.

“The planning for the lean manufac-
turing process began with a grant from
Toyota given to the (‘cnter for Robotics
and Manufacturing Systems.“ he said.

By modeling the Toyota production
line and teaching the nonautomotive
world the methods Toyota uses to reduce
wasted movements and time. Dean said.
the lean manufacturing team can stream-
line the process and save manufacturers
millions of dollars.

“It can bring substantial cost savings
to manufacturers." Davis said.

LCC is sponsoring a “Train the
Trainer" program this week to branch
out the program. “Train the Trainer“ is
designed to train managers from indus»
tries around the country and the world to
implement the lean manufacturing con-
cept within their own companies.

“The program is very popular these
days." Dean said. “We travel all over the
world teaching the process. but we can‘t
go everywhere."

So, Dean said. they developed the
Train the Trainer program to make bet-
ter use of their time and resources. The
Square D company has brought top level
managers, including their senior vice
president of operations. to Lexington to
learn the process and take it back to their
plants throughout the United States. in
England and in Ireland.

“We started the week by taking the
trainees to a simulated factory floor." he
said.

The trainees work the simulated fac-
tory floor and then they analyze how well
they worked. After three or four sessions.
the tcam plots their progress, The broad
lean manufacturing techniques learned
the first day are analyzed the remainder
of the week in classes.

“They learn to map the process, learn
the tools." Dean said. “Throughout the
week. it continues to improve.“

The mil-hour class taught by the LCC
instructors and the UKCRMS team is
unique among programs of its type
throughout the country. This lean manu-
facturing process focuses its efforts on
drawing those who will be affected by the
changes. into the planning process.

"This is not about eliminating jobs,"
said Davis. “but about finding better
ways to do a job."

WASHINGTON ~—« After years of promoting
satellite exports to China, the Clinton adminis-
tration abruptly reversed course. rejecting a $450
million commercial satellite sale to a Chinese-
controlled consortium amid concerns about valu-
able military know-how. The decision. conﬁrmed
yesterday by senior administration officials,
comes a week before Secretary of State
Madeleine Albright travels to Beijing for talks
with Chinese leaders and amid congressional
and executive branch probes of whether past
satellite deals helped the Chinese military.

Clinton urges Medicaid for children

WASHINGTON -— President Clinton appealed
yesterday for poor parents to seek Medicaid or
state health coverage for their children. The presi‘
dent kicked off the national Insure Kids Now cam-
paign, which seeks to educate families on obtain-
ing coverage under Medicaid and the new Chil-
dren's Health Insurance Program. The goal is to
enroll the millions of children thought to be eligi-
ble. Clinton said it is “inconceivable” that the
United States, with all its prosperity. has nearly 11
million children who lack health insurance.

Man found guilty in dragging death

JASPER, Texas -, A white supremacist was
convicted of murder yesterday and could get the
death penalty for chaining a black man to a pick-
up truck and dragging him until his body was
torn to pieces in a crime that shocked the nation
with its savagery. The jury of 11 whites and one
black took less than 2 1/2 hours to reach a verdict
against John William King in the slaying last
June of James Byrd Jr. “I am relieved," said Stel-
la Brumley. Byrd‘s sister. “That's all we wanted,
was justice."

Avalanche in Austrian Alps kills 8

INNSBRUCK, Austria w Tons of snow tum~
bled down upon a small village in the Austrian
Alps yesterday. killing at least eight people. It
was one of dozens of avalanches to strike Central
Europe as the region endured its worst snowfall
in 50 years.

The Austrian Press Agency said up to 30 peo-
ple remained missing. Tens of thousands of trav-
elers were stranded in train stations, trafﬁc jams
and isolated resort towns across France, Italy,
Switzerland and Austria as the avalanches
buried homes, roads and railways. At least 59
people have died in Alpine avalanches across Eu-
rope this winter.

Partial Kosovo peace deal reached
RAMBOUILLET. France

A partial settle-

threats to bomb Serb targets if they don't adopt
the complex plan that would force them to with-
draw troops from Kosovo and accept NATO peace
keepers. For more on this issue, turn to page 4 for

Tenure on tap
for symposium

Format for possible post-tenure review at
UK to be discussed with prominent guests

By All “In!
sum mum

UK is sponsoring a sym-
posium on March 4 and 5,with
guest speakers from across
the nation to exchange ideas
on how to enhance faculty in-
volvement and productivity.

UK has received a grant
from the American Association
of Higher Education to look at
senior faculty development and
post-tenure review for the en-
tire University. Right now,
post-tenure review is already
being implemented in the Col-
lege of Arts and Sciences on an
experimental basis.

Richard Greissman, assis-
tant dean for Faculty Affairs
in the College of Arts and Sci-
ences, says the college feels
confident enough about the
program to suggest the whole
University look at it.

“The focus of the program
is to develop the multifaceted
talents of the faculty, and to
have them address areas of de-
ficiency and improve them,"
he said. Greissman, who also
serves on the Steering Com-
mittee, said that in the four
years the college has partici-
pated in post-tenure review,
no one’s merit scores have
caused termination.

Many colleges and univer-
sities have chosen to institute
programs on their own which
require some form of peer re-
view for faculty members at
certain intervals of time.

Roy Moore, chair of the
University Senate Council,
said the legislature has man-
dated that all universities have
a post-tenure review policy in
place, didn’t mandate what
kind of policy it should be.

“Under post-tenure re
view, many schools have poli-
cies that require individuals
to look at a person’s record
and make the determination
whether or not that person is
a strong enough faculty mem-

ber to recommend them con-
tinuing under their contract,"
he said.

At the present time, the
legislature is allowing each
university to implement its
own policies and Moore said
this is a better way to go.
rather than having a
statewide policy. This system
allows each university the
freedom to continue work
with its mission and goals,
such as UK, he said.

If the policies are imple-
mented. it will affect faculty
the most, but students will be
indirectly impacted as well.
Certain standards must be
maintained by professors in
order to keep tenure and re-
main in the classroom.

The twoday event is open
to anyone, but the focus will
be directed toward speciﬁc
groups, such as deans, depart-
ment chairs and the presi-
dent’s staff. The guest speak-
ers are considered to be na-
tionally prominent in this
area. Discussion will center
around what they are doing in
their institutions and what
has worked and what hasn‘t.

Nolan Embry, a steering
committee member from Lex-
ington Community College, is
excited about being a part of
the symposium. “We have an
opportunity to look at the post-
tenure and senior faculty de~
velopment issue through com—
munity college eyes,” he said.

“The current system
might encourage mediocre
performance and I want to see
more merit given to outstand-
ing teaching and exemplary
performance," he said.

Embry also said LCC’s
tenure process mirrored that
of UK’s.

Joan McCauley, associate
vice president for planning
and budget, said that 67 per-
cent of the university’s profes-
sors are tenured while 61 per-
cent of LCC’s are.

March 15.

In Washington. President
Clinton noted that NATO Secre
tary-General Javier Solana still
“has the authority in his pocket
now" to order airstrikes. “That
depends upon the actions of the
Serbs.“ he said. “What we need
is continued restraint."

“I believe that the Kosovar
Albanian people will strongly
support what their negotiators
have done. because the agree-
ment represents the opportuni-
ty for a better life after years of
repression and fear." Clinton
said in a statement issued by
the White House later.

At the same time, he
warned. “the Serbs should be

m» prepared to return to the nego

tiations on March 15 with a
commitment to sign the full
agreement.“

British Foreign Secretary
Robin Cook. who co-chaired the
talks with French Foreign Min-
ister Hubert Vedrine. said: “We
have done a lot here even if we
have not done enough."

“We will use the next three
weeks to convince the Serbs and
to convince the Albanians that
the agreement is a good bargain
for both sides." Cook said.

The Serbs gave no indica»

peacekeepers. arguing that they

In i’ristina. Yugoslavia. five
Serb policemen were wounded
when suspected rebels opened
fire on Serb mourners. who
gathered under police escort at
the home of Mirko Milosevic. a
civilian killed Monday alleged

Albright on Sunday called
Milosevic‘s refusal to accept n
NATO peacekeeping force to
guarantee security a “non

“We accept nothing less
than a complete agreement. in
