Transy to give
teachers money

Bingham donation creates
award to recognize excellence

By DAN "ASSERT
Editor in chief

Transylvania University an-
nounced yesterday a $5 million plan
to use cash awards to reward and
recruit quality teachers.

The program. a permanent trust
funded by a $3 million donation from
Mary and Barry Bingham Sr. and $2
million in school funds. will'recog-
nize teachers of distinction with a
bonus equal to ~10 to 50 percent of
theirsalary.

The Bingham Awards for Teach-
ing Excellence will be available to
current and incoming Transylvania
teachers. The awards last for three
years and are renewable at three-
year intervals.

The Binghams. former owners of
The Louisville Courier-Journal and
Louisville Times. donated the money
out of respect for the reputation of
the school and concern for education
in Kentucky. said Barry Sr.

“We are impressed by the history
of Transylvania . . . but we are also
impressed by what's happened in re-
cent times.“ he said. referring to the
school‘s push to attract quality stu-
dents.

“We want to use this institution as
a laboratory experiment." he said.
“We think it‘ll have a ripple effect
throughout the educational world. “

An emphasis on attracting quality
teachers is the logical next step for
Transylvania. a liberal arts college
with an enrollment of close to 1.000.
said William T. Young. chairman of
Transylvania‘s board of curators.

“This is not a research institution;
this is a teaching university.“ Young
said. The school needs to emphasize
quality teaching to go with its qual—
ity students. he said.

The college made a push to attract
higherguality students several
years ago with the advent of its
Thomas Jefferson Scholars Pro-

Ky. senator praised
in words and stone

By ROBERT WELLER
Contributing Writer

FRANKFURT. Ky. 7— The Ken-
tucky sun was shining brightly in
the crisp. clear autumn sky as Ken-
tuckians assembled in the Capitol
Rotunda here Monday to pay tribute
to an old colleague.

Friends. well-wishers and dignita-
ries from across the Commonwealth
and nation were here to dedicate a
bust of John Sherman Cooper. for-
mer US. senator and ambassador.

Calling him the “senator of the
century“ and a “loyal friend.“ Sen.
Ted Kennedy. I)-Mass.. recalled his
long association with Cooper.

“When I first entered politics in
1962. my brother Jack told me that
if I ever needed the unvamished
truth . . . to ask John Sherman Coo-
per.“ the Boston senator said.

When Kennedy lost his 1980 bid for
the Democratic presidential nomi-
nation. he remembered Cooper. a
Republican. coming to visit. When
Kennedy asked what he was doing
there. Cooper replied. “That’s what
friends are for."

Kennedy spoke of Cooper‘s voting
record in the Senate. stances that
often were controversial in his na-
tive Kentucky.

“He was one of the first to realize
the tragedy of the Vietnam War.“
Kennedy said. “And he was one of
the first to vote for the amendment
to end the war. “

Kennedy recalled that Cooper‘s
support of the Civil Rights Amend~
ment was particularly unpopular
with many Kentuckians. But Cooper
felt that though his duty as a senator
sometimes required him to reflect
the views of the voters. sometimes it
required him to lead them.

“Respect for the man was legend-

Freshmen elections held today

ary.“ Kennedy said. “He possessed
balanced and informed judgement."

Cooper voted for anti-poverty
bills. Kennedy said. because of his
experience growing up in the De-
pression. “He cared." Kennedy said.

“He voted for Medicare be-
cause he cared. He voted for civil
rights . . . because he cared.“ Ken-
nedy said.

After his bust was unveiled. Coo-
per himself slowly made his way to
the podium to address not so much
those who had crowded into the R0-
tunda. it seemed. but those who had
marched before him into the pages
of history.

Most were not able to hear all of
the words of a voice grown soft with
age. But all could sense the emo-
tions of the man, as. in his mind's
eye. he walked through the history
he had witnessed and had helped to
shape.

0n he went, barely audible at
times. Here and there bushing a
tear from his eye. Cooper remem-
bered the great men who had in-
fluenced his life — Abraham Lin-
coln. Jefferson Davis. John Kennedy
and his own father.

Some squirmed in their seats.
Some standing in the back had to
leave. But for most of that crowd.
Monday was John Sherman Cooper‘s
day and for as long as he cared to
stand there. the podium was his.

At the end. they rose to their feet
and gave Cooper a thundering
ovation.

“It is fitting." said Kennedy. “that
we honor him in front of the bust of
Kentucky‘s greatest son. Abraham
Lincoln. They make such good com-

pany.“

Mary and Barry Bingham Sr. donated $3 million to a trust fund that
will award teachers for excellence at Transylvania University.

540.000 full scholarships to 25 tal~
ented high school seniors.

“The school. in essence. has
pulled itself up by its own bootstraps
through that program." said Young.

The scholars program has helped
Transylvania to increase its average
freshman ACT score and its enroll-
ment from 600 to 1.000 the last few
years.

The teaching excellence program
will begin next school year with
awards being given to about five or
six faculty members. Young said.
About half of these awards will be

given to faculty already at the
school.

Awards will be based on individu-
als‘ salary levels. which would mean
bonuses of about $11,000 to $15,000.
said Transylvania President Charles
L. Shearer. The number of awards
given will depend on the quantity of
qualified applicants and the availi-

given out. he said.

Opinions aired
in fresh race

By (‘lll-ZRI coi.i.is
Staff Writer

SGA Freshman Senator candi—
dates had a chance to voice their
opinions last night. letting their con-
stituents know where they stand be
fore the elections.

Approximately 50 students at
tended the forum. sponsored by the
Freshmen Representative (‘ouncil
and held in the lobby of Donovan
Hall.

After an introduction by FR(‘
member Michelle Kleusner. candi-
dates each gave a brief statement
saying why they wanted to be an
SGA senator.

A panel composed of campus lead-
ers then asked 10 questions drawn at
random.

An issue discussed early in the
forum was requiring Student (lov-
ernment Association senators to
hold regular office hours. Several of
the candidates said they were in
favor of the idea

“It tells us what you want so we
can carry this into the senate .
you should be obligated. it's our
job.“ Sean Lohman said.

Although Sean (‘oleman said he
"hadn't given much thought to the

issues" because “nobody has t'\'
pressed any issues to inc." llt‘
agreed with Lohman.

"I feel (office hoursi should be
mandatory.” he said. “This isn't ii
popularity contest."

Michael Bell said he would .ilso
establish office hours if elected

Another issue discussed “in tho
candidates“ stand regarding the cri-
ation of "dead" days between thi-
end of classes and the start ol final
exams.

Ashley Boyd. Loliman‘s running
mate. said she was in favor of dcad
days because it gives students a coil
ple days to relax. unwind and study

“As long as I know I have ”it“
backing of the students. 1 set- no rm
son to interject.” Mark :\\'t‘ll\ltlll
said on the issue.

The freshmen candidates also had
several ideas about what can lu-
done to get commuter students llltll't'
involved in campus actiwtics

“1 would get a panel .1 group
of commuter students to \‘tlit't' lllt'll'

A

Student group raising interest, money for UK

By JACK NYBERG
Contributing Writer

For any university to be success-
ful. it must have a firm foundation
of private donations.

To help solicit private donations.
UK formed the Student Devel-
opment Council in 1&5.

The SDC is an organization com-
posed of 35 members who represent
a cross section of the student pop-
ulation.

The primary goal of SDC is to help
develop UK‘s fund-raising efforts.

said James Rose. the group‘s chair~
man.

The most visible SDC project thus
far has been the Senior Challenge.

Graduating seniors are asked to
pledge money that will help benefit
the University. This year. SDC
hopes to receive 320.000 in pledges.
Rosesaid.

Another one of SDC‘s goals is to
increase student pride and involve-
ment in campus activities.

Students who participate in cam-
pus events are more likely to con-
tribute their time and money to sup-

port their alma mater after leaving
college. Rose said. Therefore. SDC
has worked closely with the Univer-
sity to increase student involvement.

“We want to show students how
much UK has done for them while
they‘re on campus and what they
can do for UK after they graduate."
Rose said.

To recognize campus partici—
pation. SDC presents a Partner in
Excellence Award to campus orga-
nizations that raise money for UK.

Rose said many organizations
overlook UK when selecting a char-

ity to sponsor. However. the timer
sity presents an excellent subject for
fundraising efforts. he said.

In January. SDC is planning to be
part of a rally for higher education
to be held in Frankfort. The purpose
of the rally is to bring attention to
the pressing need for higher cduca
tion funding by the state. Rose said

UK is the flagship institution of
the state. but a "quality program
needs quality dollars.“ Rose said

“We want students to feel proud of
UK so that they can contribute hack
to the University.“ Rose said.

Reese’sanew attitude

tougher on enemy

By TODD JONES
Sports Editor

For four years. Jerry Reese spent
his fall afternoons pounding away in
the violent trenches of the football
field. He never questioned the sanity
of it all. The coaches told him what
to do. He did it.

One day this summer, that
changed. The UK defensive tackle
sat down and reflected on his colle-
giate career. What Reese discovered
puzzled him.

“I really wasn‘t sure why I was
playing,“ Reese said. ”I never real—
ly thought about what I wanted. I
sat back and tried to figure out
why.“

The extensive skull-digging pro
duced results. Reese discovered the
answer he was searching for. Only it
wasn‘t the answer he wanted to
hear.

“I found out I really wasn‘t enjoy-
ing what I was doing,“ Reese said.
“I was playing to try and impress
other people and not wanting to
play.“

That realization lit a fire under
Jerry Reese. He became determined

to change his reason for playing the
game. He has.

“This year. I want to play.“ he
said.

That has become very evident.
Reese is a major cog in a Wildcat
defense that is ranked fourth nation-
ally in total defense.

In UK‘s 35-6 victory Saturday.
Reese was a Mississippi nightmare.

amt/'5- 1

REAL PIT

BAR-B-Q

He dogged quarterback Mark Young
all evening. sacking the Rebel three
times. He had another tackle for a
loss and finished with eight solo
knockdowns.

Reese was personally responsible
for Ole Miss marching 33 yards in
the wrong direction. Near the end,
Rebel lineman Dan Wigley nearly
threw a net on him.

“It got to the point where he was
tackling me.“ Reese said.

That may be due to Reese tackling
his own weight this summer. Not
that it was ever a problem. Last
year he played with 265 pounds on
his 6-foot-1 frame. But Reese felt it
was time to modify the physique.

“Over the summer, I discovered I
really didn‘t push myself.“ Reese
said. “I lost a lot of weight and have
become more consistent. The weight
I was carrying might have just been
fat."

A loss of strength has accompa-
nied the loss of weight. But Reese
has discovered the slimmer he is.
the quicker he is. And that‘s just
fine with him.

“I‘m not packaging around all
that excess weight." Reese said. “I
was quick at the heavy weight, but
you could tell Saturday I‘m quicker
now.

“I don't bull-rush people as much
as I used to. I rely on my quickness
and use some leverage moves.
Those linemen tend to weigh a lot

‘5-

versity tailback John Caldwell earlier this season.

and by (bull-rushing) all game long.
you tend to wear out."

Don‘t count on Reese‘s newfound
love for football to wear out soon. At
least not as long as Oliver Barnett is
lined up at the other defensive
tackle spot. The roommates are
waging a friendly sack feud. Reese
took the lead Saturday. 5-4.

MEASLES ALERT

An Important Message To All U.K. Students From
The Director Of The Student Health Service

We Are Trying To Prevent A Measles Epidemic
At The University of Kentucky!

From 1963-1970 many children were vaccinated with "killed virus" vaccines
that unfortunately did not give long lasting immunity. Therefore many college
students who were vaccinated during these years are NOT immune.

This situation has led to some serious measles epidemics on college com-
hree or four years. These epidemics occurred at neigh-
h as Indiana, Purdue and Miami of Ohio in addition to

For this reason the Student Health Service is conducting a measles immuni-
zation clinic:

WHEN: THURS, OCT. 15 AND FRI., OCT. 16

WHERE: STUDENT HEALTH SERVICE, MEDICAL PLAZA BUILDING (the entrance
to the building is just beyond the overhead bridge across Rose Street from the
University Hospital), Ist floor (look for the WILDCAT BLUE DOOR).

THERE IS NO HARM IN RECEIVING A SECOND IMMUNIZATION IF THERE IS
ANY DOUBT ABOUT YOUR IMMUNITY. (Students born before I957 do not need
further immunization because they would be considered exposed to natural
measles and would be expected to have natural immunity).

Protection of the University of Kentucky student body requires 100% partici-
pation. Please give this matter your prompt attention. We need your cooper-
ation to assure that U.K. does not experience a measles epidemic in this and
future years.

 

 
    
    
  

  

  

  
 

 

 
   
   
   

  
   
 
   
  
 
  
 
  
 
 
  
  
    
  
  
  
 
   
  
   
  
  
  
  
   
 
  
  
  
   
  
  
  
  
   
 
  
  
 
  
 
 
  
  
 
   

 
 
 
  
 
    
 
    

 
 
    

 4 - Kentucky Kernel. Wednesday. October 14. 1007

 

Viewpoint

Today, tomorrow

chance for freshmen

to voice opinion

Freshmen are often overlooked during the decision-mak-
ing process. Today and tomorrow. freshmen have the
chance to become more involved by voting in the freshman
senate elections.

.Many people in the Student Government Association
have commented on the high caliber of quality in this
year‘s freshman class.

The Freshmen Respresentative Council has already ex-
perienced its largest turnout ever with 30 members. dou-
bling the number of last year's group.

SGA Office Manager Ken Walker. in particular. has
noted that the freshmen who have gotten involved with
SGA thus far are very “ambitious."

But none of that matters unless you take the time to
make your voice heard.

Voting for this year's freshmen senators will be held
today and tomorrow.

SGA President Cyndi Weaver said “it‘s a shame it takes
this long into the school year to get input from the fresh-
men.”

It is too bad that it takes more than a month into the
semester to get freshmen input on some of the campus is-
sues. But it‘ll be even more damaging if there is a poor
turnout at the polls. Freshmen concerns will not carry
much weight with the administration and student leaders if
freshmen don't care themselves.

There is always the agecld argument that your vote
doesn't really matter.

That‘s what last year's freshman class thought. A little
more that 12 percent of the freshmen bothered to vote in
that election.

As a result. the two senators who were elected did very
little during the school year in the ways of speaking out for
their constituents.

It takes less than a minute to check off the candidates
of your choice. It doesn't cost anything and. who knows. it
might decide the election.

Vaccination for measles
important health issue;
students must be aware

If you wake up some morning in the coming months and
see spots on your face. don‘t say you weren‘t forewarned.

In the Oct. 12 edition of the Kernel. UK Health Educa-
tion Coordinator Mary Brinkman wrote a lengthy “For the
Health of it” column describing the importance of being
vaccinated for measles. Her message should not be taken
lightly.

Measles epidemics have occurred recently on quite a
few campuses. These epidemics could have been prevent-
ed.

Prevention is what the Student Health Service is trying
to do. They have made the problem known and have of-
fered a solution - free vaccinations.

It is important that students take this seriously.

This is not a child virus. In some cases. measles has
even contributed to death.

Spots. as Brinkman stated. are “the least of your wor—
ries” if you are infected with measles. Measles can cause
a person to be bedridden for an uncomfortable two weeks
with many forms of misery — cough. runny nose. high
fever etc. . .

Sure. it‘s not the black plague. but it's not a small cold
either.

Help yourself and the Student Health Service keep the
campus healthy. Check to see if you have been vaccinated
with an effective vaccination. If it turns out that you need
a new one. just go to the Student Health Service — after
all.it‘s free.
