University Studies will be restructured

Changes: Proposals include more writing classes;
student discussion on the issue is encouraged

By Emily Nagedorn

SlAfl’ WRITER

More required writing
classes and revamped Eng-
lish 101 and 102 classes are
some of the proposals being
discussed in the Undergrad-
uate Studies offices. said a
UKofficial.

UK President Lee Todd
announced in his State of

the University address Mon-
day that the University
Studies program which is
the set list of required class-
es students need to graduate

is going to be revised over
the next few years.

“I'm not sure if the dis
covery and excitement is still
there." Todd said of the pro-
gram Monday.

Some type of change will

be made in the writing pro
gram so that students would
have to take writing courses
throughout their stay at l'lx'.
said Philipp Kraemer. the as-
sociate provost for under
graduate education.

Kraemer said he did not
have any specifics because
the University Studies de-
partment has not thoroughly
discussed the issue.

"We’re always looking for
areas to improve upon." he
said. “We need to have classes
that inspire students."

ities and science
requirements.

though. \\ ill be more compre
hensive. l\’raemer said.

Kraemer also said the Uni-
versity Studies classes expose
students to many disciplines.

"it's the heart of educa
tion." Kraemer said. "They
help students become better
citizens and think about the
world differently. It is what
makes college different from

technical school.“

Erik Reece. an English
professor and liberal arts ad—
vocate. says he would like to
see a change and recommends
a cross—disciplinary approach
to the required classes.

"Students need to see
there's something to gain
from liberal arts: a well-round-
ed ixu‘sonality.” said Reece.

He said that by correlat-
ing subjects. students will be
able to continue discussions
after class is over.

"Imagine students sitting
in the Commons (Market) not

discussing the party last
weekend. but instead how
Mary Shelley‘s Frankenstein
relates to biology." Reece said.

Student discussion is
also encouraged on the Uni-
versity Studies changes.
Kraemer said.

“I hope to be able to find
ways to carry out an open f0
rum (on the program‘s
changes) with the students."
Kraemer said.

He also said he hopes to
present his proposals at the
November University Senate
meeting.

Baring it all: UK art classes use live nude models
to teach students how to capture the human form

By Emily Burt_o_n
CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The room creaks and groans like
any other large space in the Reynolds
Building. A circle of students rever-
ently attend their muses, their eyes
jumping from blank paper to the naked
tied-haired woman. With her hands on
her hips, she is standing in the center
of the studio, her skin blanched under
the harsh lighting. Posed motionless
on the raised platform, Darlene Lan-
drum looks every bit like a marbled
Greek statue.

Needless to say, Intermediate and
Advanced drawing studios are not
like typical classes on campus. Based
on a timehonored method of teaching
drawing. Art 330 and 530 use live nude
models for their still-life sketches.

“Modeling is a great experience
in selfawareness." said Landrum. a
model who is an international diplo-
macy graduate student. “This class is
a good way to appreciate beauty.“

One of her counterparts. Nor-
man Levine, has a different outlook
on nude modeling. “1 just enjoy hav-
ing fun. having a good time." he said.
“That’s all I do it for."

Levine, a tanned bowling cham-
pion and very unusual 65~yearcld re‘
tiree. is easily recognizable at the lo-
cal art shows and has been listed as
one of the students' favorite models.

money stolen

by Travis Hubbard

svoni’soiiittoiion

The UK football team can‘t take back its first loss
handed to it Saturday by the University of Florida, but
Florida is sending a check to compensate the UK coaches
for approximately $700 that was stolen from the UK locker
room during the game.

“We‘ve apologized to Kentucky." said Steve McClain.
an assistant athletics director and the football sports in—
formation director at Florida. ”It‘s an unfortunate thing
to happen. but we are trying everything to prevent it from
happening again."

It is actually the second time money has been stolen
from opposing coaches at Florida games this season. Uni-
versity of Miami coaches reported money missing after
the Hurricanes" 41-16 victory Sept. 7.

Mct‘lain said authorities were notified. and the cases
are pending.

"What was weird is there was supposed to be a securi-
ty guard watching the door." said Tony Neely. associate
media relations director and sports information
director for UK.

“The coaches discovered it when they returned to the
locker room to shower and dress. Then they reported it to
the Florida game management people." Neely added.

UK Athletics Director Mitch Barnhart reported the
theft Saturday night. approximately 20 minutes after the
game ended.

He notified a security guard in the visitor‘s tunnel
and asked the security guard to radio police that money
had been taken.

UK professor makes
cutting edge paint

Development: ‘Smart paint' shuts out UV light,
detects temperature changes, cuts costs

CONTRIBUTING WRliER

A glow-in-the—dark and fire resistant home will soon be
possible because of one professor's discovery

During the second part of the Distinguished Scholars
Lecture Series Tuesday Kozo Saito. a mechanical engineer-
ing professor and the director of the Painting Technology
Consortium. said the "smart paint” he has developed is also
making car maintenance easier and can make homes safer.

“If we apply the paint correctly. we can make our build-
ings safer from fine hazards and we can become safer in the
dark because it is glow-in-the-dark.” Saito said.

The painting system. called the Vortecone Smart Paint
(‘apturing System. has been installed in seven Toyota plants
worldwide and saves about 50 percent more in energy con
sumption than Toyota's old system. Saito said. It also
lessens the need for maintenance. from every three to six
months to every 24 months. he added.

Saito‘s paint can shut out ultraviolet light. enabling the
paint to protect its color and stop it from deteriorating as
quickly: The paint is temperature sensitive. changing color
when heated an overheated appliance can be detected.
Adding carbon nanotubes. which are found in soot. ene
hances this paint‘s fire safety because it is able to get rid of
heat quickly. Saito said.

Saito said the paint is too expensive now. but in the fu»
llll‘f‘ people will be able to buy it to paint their homes.

“We have the technology. but paint companies must put
this on the market." he said.

Homer 0 Hart. the Environmental Pmtective Coatings
Inc‘s president. said the discovery will help him “keep on
the cutting edge" of developments in paint and coating.

Charley Jally paints nude model Darlene Landrum, a masters student, at Wednesday's open draw night
at the Reynolds building, where UK's art studios are located.

While the university com!
pensates models for their time
more than $8 an hour
many of them pose for person-
al reasons. Tolliver sees his
modeling not only as a valu-
able service to the students.
but also as a motivation for his

workouts

“For me. I‘ve always been
a fitness buff. and posing
nude gives me an incentive to
do those extra crunches." Tol-
liver said as he laced up his
Wtil‘ll gym shoes.

Levine. who has been pos-
ing for about five years. likes
the diversion from retirement.
"it's sortiething to do. I get
tired of sitting around the
house.“ he said.

That is. when he‘s not
gardening or fishing in the
nude, “They'll bite the wrong
thing if you don't watch it. “
he said. laughing.

Drawing students say
they appreciate the models'
contributions.

“A person has an attitude.
