Landscape program
hopes to find space
to keep accreditation

By DAVID A. HALL
Staff Writer

Students in UK's landscape architecture program met with administra—
tors Friday at the Maxwell H. Gluck Equine Research Center to discuss
how the program can be neaccredited.

UK’s program was given provisionary accreditation last week by the
American Society of Landscape Architects.

The ASLA cited problems with the program’s curriculum and facilities
as the primary reasons for not recommending reaccreditation.

Chancellor for the Lexington Campus Robert Hemenway said the cur—
riculum problems have been taken care of and now only the lack of space
has to be resolved.

“The accreditation board was very clear," Hemenway said. “They want«
ed a space where all the classes for this program could be in one location.
They have given us a three-year period to correct it, and if we get the
problem solved any time during that three-year period, then we can go
back and apply for full accreditation.“

But finding more space for the program appears to be a difficult road for
administrators. Faced with low funding. the program is forced to find a
way to bring the scattered program closer together.

in addition to inadequate funding, an increase lll enrollment has
stretched the program’s facilities to the limit, according to College of Ag—
riculture Dean Oran Little. The five-year landscape architecture program
is offered through the College of Agriculture.

“One of the problems is a situation the University has been in for four or
five years, in ndt having enough money for maintenance," Little said.
“Probably more critical a problem we are seeing right now is the growth
of the program. We have gone from 70 to 120 students.“

Several students said that they were not surprised that program‘s poor
facilities were cited by the ASLA.

“It’s been a problem the accreditation board has warned (UK) about for
several years," said fourth-year landscape architecture student Terri Ma-
glinger.

Before the program was given provisional accreditation, UK proposed
erecting temporary buildings next to the Cooper House, which is where
most of the program‘s classes are held, Hemenway said.

By moving students closer together UK hoped to hide some time with
the accreditation committee until money was allocated for new facilities.
Hemenway said.

But the accreditation board said that temporary housing w as not a good
solution, Hemenway said.

Maglinger said that the University should move the program out of
Cooper House.

“Cooper House is in very bad disrepair," she said. "We get fire alarms
and fire trucks there quite often because there is dust that circulates in the
fire alarm systems."

The building also does not have a thermostat to control its heating sys—
tem, Maglinger said.

“That's why when you go by and it’s five below zero. we has e got all

the windows open," she said.
' Little said that when he became dean in 1988. a plan was proposed that
called for a building to house the program under one roof. But several
problems, including lack of funding, have forced the University to look for
more short—term solutions, he said.

One possibility is to move the program into Scovcll Hall on Washington
Avenue. But Little said that several faculty oppose the the idea.

‘Eggsciting’ contests
showcase engineers

By ALLEN D. GREEH
SQWOV Staff Writer

Splattering raw eggs, splinter-
ing balsa-wood and mouse trap-
powered cars were among some
of the highlights of UK's Engi-
neering Open House, held Satur-
day at Anderson Hall.

The annual event, sponsored by
the College of Engineering's stu-
dent council. featured student and
faculty exhibits, as well as tech-
nological displays from major
corporations.

But the most popular event of
this year‘s open house was the
engineering competitions, which
tested the innovation of students
from elementary school through
college.

The students competed against

each other to design the most effi-
cient balsa-wood bridge, the best
mouse trap-powered car and the
most capable vehicle for protect-
ing an uncooked egg in a 3(l~foot
vertical drop.

For the “egg drop" contest. par—
ticipants placed a raw egg in a
container of their own design. The
t oniainer, which was dropped
through a tube from a height of 20
feet. was timed using an electron-
ic switch and infra-red beams.

Each container's efficiency was
rated by multiplying weight by

time squared. The lowest product
determined the winner. according
to Jennifer Highberger. a civil en-
gineering senior who helped run
the contest.

Air Force representative said Fri-
day that the United States should
exercise caution when dealing with
the Soviet Union.

Capt. Michael Murphy. who vis-
ited UK to present a national secur-
ity briefing, told his audience that
US. defense officials see “conflict-
ing signals" emanating from the
Kremlin, despite a recent warming
of relations.

“President Gorbachev remains
under intense pressure domestical-
ly, in light of remarkable social and
political changes,“ Murphy told the
handful students and faculty in the

out this year at the UK awards
banquet. but the amount of mon-
ey has not been determined and
the students have not been select-
ed, according to Student Govem-
ment Association President Sean
Lohman.

“if we cover costs, the excess
goes directly to the scholarship
fund," Lohman said. “If someone
earmarks some money. we use it
for the scholarship fund. We do
not put it towards costs."

Excelsior was considered a
success by some members of the
1990 Excelsior Committee.

“It was a successful time," said
Christa Collins. SGA Senate atl-
viser for Excelsior. “It is the only
campuswide even that everybody
at UK is invited to come to.

“We want this to be a tradition
that will be continued for a long
time. We want to keep the mo-
mentum up."

More than 500 people attended

the dance, and SGA officials ex-
pect attendance to increase next
year.

“I thought it was a great suc-
cess, a lot more alumni particiw
patcd," Lohman said. “Now we
only have to make it bigger."

Few changes were made from
last year‘s program, but next year
the event will be moved to

Derrick \liller took a little more time to recover

But it wasn‘t just Saturday aftemoon‘s pro-game
drama of “My Old Kentucky Home" that made the

his mother sitting in the end zone of Rupp Arena.

“My mother had never seen me play before,"
Miller said. “I know she knows basketball and I
was thinking about that a lot."

In fact, it took a half and three fouls for Miller to settle down and
show his mother what he was really made of.

“I didn't want to come out and take bad shots, and make it look like I
was playing selfish," he said. “I tried to think defense first and got into
foul trouble in the first half. I was a little shaky but once I got my
third foul and sat out the remainder of the half that helped me a lot."

The time helped him in more ways than one. After scoring only sev-
en points in the first half, the senior led a 13-4 run at the beginning of
the second half to give UK the lead for good at 63-55.

“I thought Derrick Miller really came out and gave them a lift
right at the beginning of the second half," Auburn coach Tommy Joe
Eagles said. “We did a good job in the first half of keeping ‘D‘ in
check. He really got away for about a five- or six—minute period of
time. That's probably where the basketball game turned because it gave
Kentucky the cushion to play with down the stretch.”

Miller had 10 of UK's 13 points during the second half rally that put
the Cats in the driver‘s seat. He finished the game with 20 points and
went 4 of 6 front behind his speciality, the 3-point line.

“As usual he was great again today," sophomore Deron Feldhaus
said. “He really worked hard on defense and getting open in the second
half. We're definitely going to miss him next year."

But Miller said that the Cats will not miss his talent because of the
new signees. If anything, the Wildcats should improve, he said.

“We have less numbers this year than a lot of teams," Miller said. "I
look for Kentucky to be in the Top 20 next year and the year after that
in the Top l0."

Miller said his four years at UK was period of individual growth and
maturity, He said it took a good deal of courage and determination to
make it through several crisis, including an NCAA investigation.

“I really worked hard to get where I’m at. By no means was it easy,
it was hard but not one time did I quit," he said “At times I came close
transferring. but I stayed in and hung in here. I think right now this
was the best thing for Derrick Miller to stay at Kentucky."

And Miller said that he has learned valuable lessons through his ex-
periences at the University, the most valuable of which was taught to
him by [K coach Rick Pitino.

“One thing that Coach Pitino taught me that nobody ever taught me
is Just to own up to your mistakes." Miller said. ”That's something
that I try to strive to do today. Even iti school. if I don‘t ttirti a paper in
or do something wrong, I Wlll go talk to my teacher and own tip to it.
It's not how you make a mistake. it is how you recover frotn lI l'vc
Ieamcd some valuable things here that will help me once I leave Ken—
tucky."

At end the end of the season Miller said he will take his coaches’ ad-
vice once again.

“(Pitino) has some things lined up for me. First of all, he‘s going to
try to get me stronger," Miller said. “(Strength coach Ray) ‘Rock’
(Oliver) told me he‘s going to take me through ‘Apocalypse Now.”

Miller said that he thinks he has a better shot of being picked in the
National Basketball Association draft than he did a couple of years ago.

“I feel that I have a better chance of making it now then I did one or
two years ago,” he said. “I'll take it from there. Coach Pitino has really
helped me a lot in that area. If I keep listening to him and keep focus—
ing in and going to school and do the right thing, everything will fall
into place."

‘Senior

By BARRY REEVES

Tradition is synonymous with
UK's “Senior Day." And the big-
gest pan of that “Senior Day” tra-
dition is winning.

The Cats won their 26th con—
secutive “Senior Day” game Sat-
urday afternoon when they out-
lasted a stingy Auburn University
basketball team 98-95 to run their
home record to 9-0 against South-
eastern Conference foes.

“What makes this night so spe-
cial is that you look at all of the
tradition," said UK coach Rick
Pitino, who participated in his
first “Senior Day" at UK. “When
you look up and realize that
you’ve played at Kentucky, that’s
what makes it so special."

On Saturday, a Rupp Arena
crowd of 24,174 said goodbye to
UK's lone senior Derrick Miller
with several pre-game ceremo—
nies. Miller responded with 845
shooting for 20 points.

“I‘m not saying that l was tier-
vous, but l tlltIIId want to come
out and take the bad shots and
make it look like I was playing
selfish," said Miller, who at-
tempted only six 3-pointers in the
game. “I tried to think defense
first and got into foul trouble in
the first half. I was a little
shaky."

Just as teams in the past. the
UK players dedicated their efforts
in the last home game to their
seniors. Against Auburn, the
team dedicated a couple of special
statistics i rebounding and de-
flections — to Miller.

The Cats, going against the
Southeastern Conference's second
best rebounding club, held their
own on the boards as they were
only outrebounded 40-35. But UK
deflected 45 passes.

“We dedicated the whole game
to Derrick Miller," said UK jun»

finished with 24 points, ll re—
bounds, three blocks and three

‘ lliis was his game

[he number of deflections espc
cially pleased Pitino, who consid-
ers the statistic one of the most
important.

“These guys had 45 deflections
today. I've never had a team have
more than 40," said Pitino, who‘s
team is now 14-12 overall and 10-
7 in the SEC. “I just can‘t say
enough about their effort.
They amaze me every day."

With the game being Miller‘s
last at Rupp Arena, it was only
fitting that he push the Cats into
the lead during a 15-2 run early in
the second half when he scored 10
of his 20 points. Miller canned
two 3-pointers, a l9-footcr and a
layup to give L'K a 63-55 lead.

“Once, I got back in the second
half, I kind of got things going,"
said Miller. who had only seven
points at the half. Then he re-
membered what his mother told
him: “You better win the game.“

“I thought Derrick Miller came
