M.I. King to Open its doors
for handicapped student use

Fraternity donates $1,300 to make school more accessible

By DARRELL CLEM
Senior Staff Writer

In order to provide funds for auto
matic doors at Mt. King Library, a
$1,300 check from Kappa Sigma fra-
ternity will be presented to Hand-
icapped Student Services later this
month.

The money was raised earlier this
semester during the fraternity‘s
road rally, which was cosponsored
with Alpha Delta Pi sorority.

The check will be presented at an
awards ceremony on Nov. 29 in
honor of handicapped students, said
Guy Ranney, a Kappa Sigma mem-
ber and aSSistant chairman of the
road rally. “We decided to (donate
the money) to something on cam-
pus. and we thought this would be a
good idea."

LeJane Carson, an ADPi member
and cochairwoman of the road rally,
said. “You see handicapped students
on campus all the time, and you
don‘t realize the problems they have
with trying to get up ramps — and
some of the doors are inaccessible.

“If our sorority can help them out
with some of the doors, that‘s
great.“

The donation will boost a continu-
ing effort by the University to make
campus buildings accessible to
handicapped students. “We‘ve com-
pleted a few more jobs" recently.
said Jim Wessels, coordinator of de
sign and construction in the Physi-
cal Plant Division.

With the construction of an access
ramp, the Scott Street Building,
which contains various audio-visual
equipment, is now accessible. “That
is a welcome improvement," said
Jacob Karnes, director of Hand-
icapped Student Services.

The Student Center Addition park-
ing lot also was recently “rear-
ranged,“ he said, because parking
spaces formerly required hand-
icapped students to “backtrack" in
order to enter the building.

In the Journalism Building. the
women‘s bathroom received some
modifications recently to accommo-
date a student, Kames said. “They
(PPD) got over there quickly and
responded to the student‘s need. “

Karnes also said signs to mark
handicap entrances would soon be
posted outside Funkhouser Building.
which he described as one of the
“more used" and “more confusing"

buildings with regard to locating the
“appropriate entrances. ' '

Wessels said the projects reflect
the concern of the University to re-
duce the number of obstacles for
handicapped students. “We‘re trying
to get it down to zero,“ he said.

Wessels explained that major ren-
ovations have been going on for
“about the last four years. We‘ve
tried to use the money as wisely as
we can.

While the Administration Building
remains inaccessible, he stressed
that money is spent more wisely by
renovating residence halls and aca‘
demic buildings, which students
“useevery day.“

If a handicapped student needs to
do business through the Administra-
tion Building, someone from that
building "would go to the hand-
icapped student," Wessels said.

Buildings such as McVey Hall.
which is partially renovated. still
need further construction, Wessels
said. He also said further renova‘
tions in McVey and the Journalism
Building would probably begin "in
four orfive months."

Sprechen Sie Deutsche? Award aids
students who want to study abroad

By TRINA JACKSON
Reporter

It's about that time of year when
opportunity knocks for interested
students and faculty to have the
chance to study abroad.

The Grawemeyer Award, spon-
sored by the University of Louisville
department of Classical and Modern
Languages, will be offered to college
students and faculty of Kentucky
and its seven surrounding states
who are interested in studying
abroad during the summer semester
in Germany, according to Nancy
Dye, aSSociate dean of the College of
Arts&Sciences.

Competition for the award, now in
its 13th year, requires that under‘
graduate and graduate students be
enrolled in an accredited college or
junior college and have completed
two or more years —- or the equiva-
lent — of college German, according
to the rules for the award.

Although the student‘s major does
not have to be German, the appli-
cant‘s academic progress should
benefit from a period of study in a
German-speaking institution.

Thus, the applicant is required to
submit a 300500 word proposal out-
lining his or her specific area of
study in Germany; an official col-
lege transcript; and two letters of
recommendation — one of which
must be from a German instructor
— assessing the applicant's promise
to make effective use of the award,
the press release said.

A personal interview may be nec-
essary for finalists.

Because the {manual award is
only 51,000, students may have to
supplement their expenses. Upon re-

Going Hawaiian

UK cheerleading squad to travel to t

By JOHN JURY
Staff Writer

The UK cheerleading squad will
travel to Hawaii next month for the
second straight year in pursuit of
the coveted national collegiate
cheerleading championships.

UK will join nine other universi-
ties for the competition, which was
open to all NCAA Division I schools.

The schools will meet in Honolulu
Dec. 15 through Dec. 21 for the com-
petition which will be taped by NBC
and shown on prime-time television
sometime in January.

“i'm tickled to death that we get a
second chance," said Lori Duley, an
education sophomore.

“i think Honolulu will be a real
nice place to be this airiatmas,"
said 1‘. Lynn Williamson, adminis-
trator for personal policies and po-
cedures and the diaerleading advis-
er.

The teams were chosen from vi-
deotapes made during a game per-
formance. UK recorded its tape at
tnlftime of last week's Blue-White
scrimmage.

Williamson said one of the compe-
tition moves by the chealaaderl
this year will be the “Boat" cheer.
The move includes a collapaim tier

,0

of cheerleaders and two flying leaps
from trampolines over the heads of
stationary cheerleaders.

This year’s routine will have “sub-
stantially more difficulty with more
gymnastics,“ he said.

The routine is capped off what
Duley described as an “excellent"

partment, was a 1984 summer recip
ient of the Grawemeyer faculty
award.

Albisetti spent the summer at the
University of Gottingen and Ruhr
University in Bochoun, Germany,
doing research on secondary educa-
tion in Germany. Albisetti has been
to Germany several times below,
and as a graduate student at Yale
on a fellowship, he was able to es-
tablish contacts in Germany who en«
~ouraged him to further his re-
search there, he said.

This. he said, was an incentive in
applying for the award, and the
rules of the award say contacts are
necessary for all faculty applicants.

“It‘s necessary that all applicants
have an interest in what they‘re
doing," he said. Albisetti hopes to
publish his second book in 1986 on
the history of women in education in
Germany. In 1983, he published his
first book, titled Secondary School
Reform in Imperial Germany.

Competition for faculty awards
are about the same as those for stu-
dents, only that they should be full-
time faculty members for an ace
credited college in Kentucky or the
surrounding seven states. Previous
winners are eligible five years after
their first award.

The applicants must establish con-
tact with a colleague in a German-
speaking institution to carry out a
research project. The amount of
eaci award is $3,000.

The deadline for applications is
Dec. 31. Applications should be sent
to The Grawemeyer Awards Com-
mittee, Department of Classical and
Modern Languages, University of
Louisville.

Military crafts may gain
from fuel pump study

UK engineering professor works
to develop an all-electric airplane

By SAILAJA I‘LALEMPATI
Staff Writer

The development of an improved
system of operating fuel pumps soon
may be an asset to the military
thanks to a grant recently awarded
to a UK electrical engineering pro-
fessor.

The $43,716 grant was alloted to
Jimmie Cathey, a professor of elec-
tical engineering, by the South East
ern Cents. for Electrical Engi-
neering Education. “I had done a
summer research assignment. and
they were familiar with me. We
reached a mutual agreement to do
it,“ Cathey said.

Cathey is in the process of devel-
oping an electrically powered fuel
pump to replace the conventional
mechanically run aircrafts. "The
general trend is now going towards
the development of all-electric air-
crafts. I‘m a small part in this ide»

“Right now we're just trying to

Between now and Dec. 15. the
squad “will be trying to perfect the
routine,“ said Scott Hendrickson. an
allied health junior.

More than 100 schools participated
in this year‘s competition. The other
finalists include Alabama, Universi-
ty of Pittsburgh, Penn State Univer-
sity, Ohio State University, Univer-
sity of Arkansas, University of Utah,
University of Wyoming, North Caro-
lina State University and University
of Mississippi.

UK will again represent the South-
ern Division this year as the first
place team; NC State placed second.

Winning the Southern Division is
quite an accomplishment, William-
son said, comidering four of the 10
schools in this year‘s competition
and four of the eight schools last
year came out of that division. “We
have to compete with absolutely the
best squads to win the South," he
said.

Placing first in the South is “defi-
nitely a stepping stone“ to the covet-
ed championship, Hendrickson said.

“We should learn by our mistak-
es,“ Duley said.

“i don‘t think we‘ll be satisfied if
we don‘t come away with one
champiomhip,“ said Jeff Lutes, the
Wildcatmascot.

are not able to access its final use at
this point."

(‘athey‘s cycloconverter link DC
motor system would “allow you to
pump fuel into the engine indepen-
dent of the speed of the engine,” he
said. Aircrafts currently rely upon
geardriven fuel pumps that are me»
chanically connected to the jet en-
gine turbines. In this type of aircraft
the engine speed determines the
speed at which the pump operates.
This would eliminate the need for a
separate bypass valve, Cathey said.

The DC motor would be controlled
by the pilots and would “enable
them to regulate the fuel flow by va-
rying the fuel pump speed."

grant for research in the elementary
stages of this project. “It will al-

the mascot differs from the
cheerleaders because the mascot en»

cheerleaders hope to bring the title
to Lexington. said Willis Watts, co-
captain and a psychology senior.

Although the dates of the trip to
Hawaii will conflict with final exam
week, Williamson said he has made
sure that all of their instructors
were notified at the start of this se-
mester in anticipation of the
cheerleaders going to Hawaii.

He said the cheerleaders will take
their final exams the week before
they leave. So far. their instructors
have cooperated. “We've had all
positive responses from teachers,“

4,600 gas wells

There are about 4.600 gas wells in
eastern Kentucky which are not pro-
ducing the ultimate amount of gas.
according to Donald Haney. state
geologist. and the reason is un-
known.

But because of a tworycar $487,000
grant from the (ias Research lnsti‘

lives.

"The first objective is to delcr
