UNIVIHSIlYUl KINIUCKY LIXINUIUN KINIUCKY

enate to vote en grade policy

By Kathy Rolling

News Editor

A year ago, the University Senate approved a
plus/minus grading system for the College of Arts
and Sciences.

A proposal failed the previous semester that
would have put the system in place across all colleges
because ofa lack of support for plus/minus outside
the College of Arts and Sciences.

In Senate meetings after Arts and Sciences
ap roval, grading plans were discussed for individual
co leges; some agenda items passed, others failed.

Today the University Senate returns to the issue
of whether or not the entire Lexington Campus and
Medical Center sectors of UK should use a uniform
grading system.

Senate chairwoman jan Schach said the re-visita-
tion of the grade issue is sparked by student and fac—
ulty complaints regarding the absence of a universal
system and systems in place.

“This is an attempt to ask the Senate should we
have (a universal system) and what should it be,”
Schach said.

Before the question of a universal grade system
was tied to a particular system.

Schach said that is why the question is separate

from any ding options in the latest proposal.

If the rst part of the proposal passes, the Senate
will decide which grading system to use.

If not, “the various systems used currently will
remain in use, and the Senate will continue to con-
sider proposals from individual units,” according to
the proposal before the Senate.

Seven options for the universitywide grading sys-
tem will be considered by senate members if the first
part passes.

Schach said options can be added from the floor
with Senate approval.

She said she anticipates passage of the first part
but does not know if the Senate will decide on a uni—
versal grading system today.

According to the proposal, “The Senate has until
spring semester 1998 to approve a uniform system
for fall 1998 implementation.

If no system is approved by then, Part I of the
proposal will automatically be rescinded."

Among the seven grading options, one calls for no
pluses or minuses.

Others offer versions with an A plus computed as
a 4.3 in students’ grade point averages, an A plus
equaling a 4.0 and a system with no A plus, the
option now used in Arts and Sciences.

The other three systems include all pluses but no

minuses, a numerical system with no letter grades
and a GPA neutral system in which the instructor
can assign plus/minus grades, but GPAs are comput-
ed on the whole letter grade only.

“No one really knows which is the best system,"
Schach said.

“There is just no clear answer. There is not going
to be a perfect solution, but we want to find the best
one.”

Last month the Student Govemment Association
endorsed a universal system without minuses. Sena—
tor-at-large joe Schuler said this plan is best for stu-
dents and has the greatest chance for passage in the
University Senate.

The acceptance of the final draft of the UK Prin—
ciples as an official UK document also stands before
the Senate.

OIf the Senate and the Community College Sys—
tem endorses the UK Principles, its statements
become a part of universitywide orientation this fall.

The Principles, created by students, faculty and
staff, have already been approved by the Student
Government Senate.

It says UK communi ' members will strive for,
among other goals, “lifelong learning, academic
excellence, personal integrity and environmental
stewardship.”

The wonders of nature. Vege—
tation on dis lay for educational
purposes antra serene, park—like
atmosphere.

No place exhibits these quali-
ties like the UK arboretum.

The UK/LexingtonvFayette
Urban County Arboretum, locat-
ed on Alumni Drive across from
Commonwealth Stadium, houses
several hundred varieties of plant
and tree life, said Dewayne
Ingram, chair of the department
of horticulture and landscape
architecture.

Ingram said the arboretum’s
mission is to be a “living laborato-
ry for students and faculty while
serving the general public’s inter-

 

est and educational needs,” as well
as to be a cultural center for Ken-
tuckians.

Candace Harker, a horticulture
agent for Fayette County who
works in the arboretum, said the
arboretum impacts students and
residents.

“We see (the arboretum) as an
educational resource for the com-
munity,” she said.

Professors occasionally hold
biology, horticulture, forestry; and
agronomy classes at the ar ore-
tum. Ingram said it rovides an
outdoor classroom, a lowing stu-
dents to identify plants and their
functions in the environment.

While geography and German
senior Claudine Costich does not
have any classes there, she said she
likes to take advantage of the
arboretum on beautiful days.

“I like it because it's so peace-
ful,” Costich said. “I just like
enjoying the outdoors.”

Costich said she thinks more
students should use the arboretum
as a lace to relax and s end time
out oors or to get invo ved in the
activmes.

In am said volunteers, faculty
mem ers, students and a group
called Friends of the Arboretum
coordinate events there.

Ingram said the next major
event, in celebration of Arbor
Day, will last from 9 am. to 1 pm.
Saturday, April 19; the free event
features speakers, demonstrations,
children’s activities and exhibits.

Marcia Farris, president of
Friends of the Arboretum, said the

Ins audits fewer
Kentucky residents

l.( )UIS\'ll.l.l“. w For people worried about
IRS audits, Kentucky might be the perfect haven.

It turns out that Kentuckians get audited less
than anyone else.

The odds of coming face to face with an IRS
auditor in Kentucky are less than one in 330 —
about half that ofthe national average.

"'l‘hat's just one more wonderful thing about
our area," joked (Ewen Tilton, an accountant at
Cotton 54 Allen, an accounting finn in Louisville.

But there might be an unpleasant reason for the
low rate of audits. IRS s )okeswoman Judy Krebs.
a former auditor. speculates that it might be due
to low incomes in Kentucky.

liven so, the rate of returns audited has slipped
in recent years even as Kentuckians' incomes have
risen, so other factors might be involved. Krebs
said a luring freeze that has thinned the number of
auditors statewule to 18 might have played a role.

serenaded model Theresa Nelson with his hit,
“More Than You‘ll Ever Know," when they were
married over the weekend at his home outside

[BBIIII‘BI‘ blames
mediator divide

By Shane Romlnes
(.‘onmbuting ll'riter

The racial divide in the United States may be
the media's fault. According to a communications
scholar, the media has created a “tyranny of per-
spectivc” that grips the nation.

()scar Candy, a professor at the Annenberg
School of Communications at the University of
Perms 'lvania, said the media may have played a
key role in the divided opinion between whites and
blacks on 0.]. Simpson‘s guilt. Candy spoke at UK
on Friday.

“White and black opinion has a 40 percent gap,
which is the largest in the past 40 years," he said.
“It’s the press that plays an important role in
selecting, amplifying, (and) helping us understand
what the nature of this inequality is.”

Gandy said people's average estimation of
blacks in the US. population is about 24 percent,
but the real proportion is only 12 percent. In addi-
tion, most Americans think that about 27 percent
of the white population is poor, while the actual
portion is only ll percent.

“The opinions we bold are really the opinions,
ultimately, that have been delivered to us by way of
the mass media,” Gandv said.

Many have lon believed that ex osure to the
news is a way to fiecume better in ormed about
one's surroundings. Not so in this case, according
to Candy. The more attention people pay to racial
stories, the more they tend to overestimate the
negative as ects, he said.

Gandy t inks exposure to the news ranlcs fourth
in importance of shaping racial views. Race, he
believes, is the number one influence, followed by
education and income. He also said political ideol-
o affects opinions on reasons for “the undeni—
ab e fact of inequality.”

Candy said conservatives tend to blame family
breakups and a lack of motivation in the blac
community for the inequality. Liberals, however,
tend to blame white resistance, racism and the lack
of educational opportunity. Gandy thinks these all
are affected by exposure to the media.

In the a e of political correctness, many are try-
ing to resofve this problem of inequality.

“Some of the stories about black culture are in
the press because the journalists are liberals and
progressives,” Gandy said. “They want to mobilize
citizens to influence public policy.”

UK Colle e of Communication and Informa-
tion Studies aculty said they prepare students to
consider the input of race.

“All of the colleges clearly encourage racial sen-
sitivity,” said Roy Moore, associate dean of the
School of Journalism and Telecommunications.
“The government shouldn’t enforce responsibili-

W

“Sensationalism is the problem with TV,” said
Phil Palmgreen, professor of communications.
“Journalists need to give opinion, but label it (as
such) because ople tend to take it as fact.”

Gandy thi hope exists in the media’s future.

“The media are going to serve a hegemonic
function, that is, exposure to the media is going to
be associated with a conver nce of w 'te and
black perce 'ons," he said. “ e media will play a
role in hol ing society together.”

Volunteers case past Wildcats in 6th

By Bob Herbal
Weekend Sport: Editor

In an apparent effort to pump

up the UK baseball team in their
battle against Tennessee, fresh—
man itcher Patrick Mahan gave
the prayer introductions from the
press box.
' While on the mic, Mahan per-
formed a flawless imitation of
famed boxing announcer Michael
Buffer. And if yesterday’s UK—
Tennessee battle resembled a box-
ing match, the Volunteers earned
a TKO in the sixth.

With the Wildcats clinging to a
scant one-run lead, Tennessee
erupted for seven runs in the sixth
inning to earn an 1 1 4 victory.

“When you look at the stats
they had 13 hits and we had 12,”

Madison said.

“\Ve had some crucial errors in
crucial situations. If we make the
plays defensively, it's a whole dif-
ferent ball game."

The Wildcats committed three
errors in the game, but the most
costly came in the awful sixth
inning.

Although up 2~l, UK found
itself in trouble with Volunteers
on every base and no outs. Tens
nessee second baseman Jeff Pick-
ler grounded sharply and directly
to Wildcat first baseman Jay
Tedesco.

In an attempt to prevent the
tying run from scoring, Tedesco
threw to catcher josh Loggins.
The low throw got past Loggins
and two runs scored. Loggins was
charged with the questionable

error, his first in 30 games.

UK pitcher Matt Borne (2-3)
who was strong through the first
five innings, did not settle down as
he gave up four more runs in the
inmng.

“I didn't want the big inning to
happen like it did in the sixth,"
Borne said. “But it did and those
things happen."

“I thought Borne threw the ball
really well,” Madison said. "He
just started getting the ball up a
little bit and perhaps he just got a
little tired."

Tennessee pitcher Luke lIud-
son (-l-l) earned the win. He
pitched 6 2/3 innings, gave up II)
hits and four runs.

Sunday's loss culminated a frus-
trating weekend for the Cats.
After UK thrashed Tennessee 14-

| on Friday, the Wildcats blew a
terrific opportunity to defeat the
No. 8 Volunteers for a second
time.

The Wildcats had a five—run
lead after four innings and took a
one run lead to the top of the
ninth. But UT designated hitter
Travis Copley homered to center
to send the game to extra innings.

Tennessee scored two runs in
the top of the 10th and squeaked
out a 7-6 victory. It was the first
time in the last 34 games that the
\Vildcats lost when leading after
eight innings.

Opportunity knocks,
but till goes flat late

The word of the day at the UK
softball stadium yesterday was
frustrating. In the first game
against Ole Miss, the Wildcats saw
a great pitching performance by
Keary Camunas go to waste as
they dropped the game 3-0.

Camunas went seven innings
and gave up only one earned run
on five hits.

A stellar pitching performance
by Mississippi 5 Amanda Fine and
an unfortunate error by shortstop
Michelle Bucci did in the Cats in
the first game of yesterday's dou-
bleheader.

The second ame was also a
textbook case in itility.

The Wildcats put together six
great innings of softball, only to

ave the wheels fall off in the final
inning.

“That was very frustrating,"
said UK coach Beth Kirchner.
“Probably the easiest thing to say
was that we played not to lose
instead of not to win.”

UK held a four—run lead going
into the seventh inning when
everything seemed to go wrong.

Lori Hornet put on a pitching
clinic through the first six, but
everything went south as she took
the mound for the last inning.

The inning began with Homer
striking out Ole Miss second base—
man Brittany Maxwell, but UK
catcher Sarah Snider could not
handle the pitch in the dirt, and

.OOOOCOCOCC0.0..OOOOOCOOCOOOOIOCOOCOOO00......00......000000.00.000.000.ICC...0..IOOCOOOOCOCICOOUIOOOCOO

Maxwell made it to first.

Errors by Crystal Grace and
Bucci, as well as some fine Missis-
sippi hitting and bascmnning sank
the home team.

The hapless Cats went down in
order in the bottom of the seventh
to put an end to the disheartening
contest.

IIorner said she was very disap-
pointed to see her performance
wasted.

“It’s very frustrating," she said.
“I don't know if it's inexperience
or not."

The team changed in the sev-
enth inning.

“\Ve had a four—run lead and
it's pretty easy to be loose, and we
had a tendency to get really tight,"
Kirchner said.

I‘Iarnin just one SICC win this
season infiuenced the (Lats’ tight
play.

“We were so hungry for a win
that I think we pushed a little too
hard for it," Kirchner said. “So we
need to work on staying relaxed.

In the end, it wasn‘t all bad
news for the Cats yesterday, how—
ever.

Lindsay Ilouser, one of UK’s
best hitters, was hit in the hand in
the first game and taken to the
hospital for X rays

“It hit her on the knuckles and
it didn’t look great," said Kirchn—
er.

The X—rays proved ne ative,
and “onset is listed as possifile for
this Wednesday‘s game against
Marshall.

Tennessee relays showcase Bats, world's best

By Price Atkinson

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — UK’s
Matt Macievic had an opportunity
Friday that doesn’t come along
too often for a freshman.

With one lap to 'go in the open
5, 000- meter run, Macievic was
leading but couldn’t hold off a
charging Stetson Steele from
Idwa

Macievic finished second over-
all in 14 minutes and 48 seconds, a
IZ-second improvement over his
previous best effort, which he set
the week before.

“It reminded me of high school
again; I was in the thick of the
race,” Macievic said.

“I was just hoping to pull that
out.”

Running at the front of the
pack most of the race, he took the

lead with one lap left. But on the
back side ofthe Tom lilack Track,
Steele made his move and
Macievic was out ofgns.

Assistant coach _lilll Kaiser, who
coaches the UK distant e runners,
said Macievic responded well in
the situation.

“The race developed perfectly
for him today, to have a chance to
win,” Kaiser said. “You always run
better when you have a chance to
win.

“It feels good when you have an
opportunity to win, and it doesn’ t
come along too often when you ’re
a freshman.

In the field events, UK’s Jason
Margraf threw the discus 53.04
meters to finish third in the open
discus.

Afterwards, Margraf said he
was disappointed because the win-
ner of the discus threw just 5 3.46.

“1 just didn’t throw as good as I
should have,” Margraf said. “I
should’ve won.”

Later Friday, senior Brad
Rogers turned in a tough perfor-
mance in the 800, finishing eighth
in 1:50.18 despite a tough break.

“I was happy with the time, but
I got boxed iii at 300 (meters) and
didn’t go with them like I wanted
to,” Rogers said.

“I wasn’t real tired after the
race so I feel like I can go a lot
faster.”

The women’s 100—meter dash
was a strong event for the Cats.

UK sprinter Michelle Brown
finished in l 1.39, tying for second
with Beverly Grant of Lincoln
University.

Passion Richardson, running in
the same heat with Brown, fin-
ished sixth with a time of l 1.51.
