More than 20 Student Govem-
ment Association candidates had
the chance to present their goals
and agendas last night during an
open forum at the Catholic New-
man Center.

The forum, sponsored by the
Newman Center's Student Leader-
ship Team, was held to provide a
relaxed atmosphere in which stu-
dents could ﬁnd out about a candi-
date's platform. student modera-
tors Meredith Nelson and Clint
Willett said.

All ﬁve presidential candidates
and their running mates appeared
at the forum, as well as 11 students
seeking the position of SGA sena-
tor at large.

Each candidate gave a two-
minute introduction before re-

sponding to
questions from
the audience. ls-
sues ranging
from campus
safety and tui-
tion increases to

lECTlUNS SGA responsi-

,1 bilities and stu~
/ dent apathy
dominated the

discussion.

Adam H. Bdelen, a candidate
for senator at large. said the prob-
lem with SGA is that “our ears are
too small and our mouths are way
too big. We really need to get out
there and hear what the students
have got to say."

Candidate Russell
agreed.

“Running for ofﬁce is like a rac—
coon hunt.“ Harper said. “You can
either sit on the porch or you can
really get out there in the ﬁeld and

Harper

ﬁnd out what IS going on."

Presidential hopeful Misty
Weaver said one of the failures of
SGA is that students don't really
use its services.

Weaver. an elementary educa-
tion senior, said SGA senators
should have a purpose. “Senators
have a wonderful opportunity to
go out and greet students when
they move into their dorms."

Shelli Freeland, a senator at
large candidate, said she would
like to see more positive feedback
from the Kentucky Kernel in its re-
porting of SGA events.

In an unusual move at the close
of the forum, each presidential
candidate talked about the positive
traits of his opponents.

Presidential candidate T.A.
Jones, a ﬁfth-year architecture stu-
dent, said this demonstrated the
good spirit of the fonim.

Rob Wanington, another presi-

dential candidate, said it also re-
ﬂected the nature of the ofﬁce
seekers.

“In the end,” Warrington said.
“it doesn’t matter whether we
reach one or a thousand students.
What makes this election different
is that we really have candidates
who care and like each other. And
we do want to make a difference."

Several of the students who at-
tended the forum said it provided
an opportunity to learn more about
the race.

Bill Elmore. a business junior,
said he attended because he still
hasn‘t decided how he will vote.

“I think this is a good way to
ﬁnd out what the candidates have
got to say," Elmore said.

At least one of the candidates
agreed. "Ihe forum provided a
way to get the student body really
involved," Senate candidate Julie
Wright said.

Trustees name
Holsinger next
med chancellor

By Stephen D. Trlmble
Assistant News Editor

UK‘s Board of Trustees an-
nounced yesterday that
James Holsinger will be .,
the next chancellor of
UK's Albert B. Chan-
dler Medical Center.

He replaces Dr. Peter
Bosomworth, who said
last year that he would
step down after direct-
ing the center for nearly
24 years.

Holsinger. who cur~

the Veterans‘ Affairs

Medical Center in Lexington,
said he will not make changes
right away but will look to ﬁnd
ways to prepare UK’s medical
center for impending health-care
legislation in Kentucky.

Although the Kentucky legis-
lature voted against a health-care
bill earlier this week, Holsinger
said reform is probable on both
the state and federal levels.

“I believe the time has come
for American health care to
change direction,“ he said. not-
ing that perhaps the biggest
change students entering a medi-
cal career will notice is a reli—
ance on health-care teams made
up of doctors, social workers and
psychologists.

“Not that we don‘t have teams
right now,” he said. but the num-
ber of such teams is expected to
grow.

Holsinger also said he was en-
couraged to learn that 45 percent
of UK medical students chose to
do post-graduate study in pri-
mary care. which concentrates
on general treatment of patients.

rently is the director of HOLS|NGER train students in mod-

The national average among
college seniors entering the same
graduate program is only 30 per-
cent.

llolsinger said UK's concerns
in the future will be
maintaining clinical
progress in the medical
center, teaching the stu-
dents and encouraging
medical research.

“Research is one of
the keys to being an ac-
ademic health-care cen-
ter," he said. “Without
it, we can't teach or

em systems."
UK President
Charles Wethington said Hol-
singer was chosen because he is
a skilled administrator. clinician
and researcher with a “good han-
dle on primary care.“

Despite Holsinger‘s lack of
collegiate-level medical experi-
ence, Wethington said the former
under-secretary for health in the
Veterans‘ Affairs Administration
developed formal ties with aca-
demic professionals in the past.

“I think we are in good condi-
tion to have my successor as-
sume the responsibility," retiring
chancellor Bosomworth said.

Holsinger will assume leader-
ship of nearly 5,000 students and
faculty, including residency doc—
tors, at the beginning of next
year.

Bosomworth said the mission
of the medical center, which is to
“gain and retain health" for pa-
tients, will continue with Hol—
singer.

SGA reverses ruling on Gibler ticket

Election oﬁicials deem reprimand unfair to candidates

By Bryan Knauer
Contributing Writer

A ruling by Student Government
Association regarding the ballot
placement of recently reprimanded
candidates has been found to be un-
fair.

Most notably this affects the
ticket of presidential and vice-
presidential candidates Krista Gi-
bler and Eric S. Smith. in a ruling

last week concerning Gibler and
Smith‘s submission of illegally ob-
tained signatures, SGA formally
reprimanded the duo and decided
that as part of their punishment the
ticket would appear last at the bal-
lot.

Following the reprimand, SGA
election board chairwoman Kelly
Sears niled last Wedneeday that the
Gibler and Smith ticket would be
placed back in its original ballot po-

sition.

"We reconsidered and decided
that it was the fair thing to do,“
Seas said.

Furthermore, potential candidates
have been telling their supporters
the numerical position their ticket
occupies on the ballot.

Sears added it would not be fair
to them and other candidates that
already have mpaigned with their
original ballot positions.

The SGA election board of
claims also ruled that since Gibler
and Smith had obtained the neces-
sary 350 signatures, not counting
those obtained illegally, they had
not obtained any advantage with
regardtotheelection.

However, in a related ruling,
four candidates for Senate seats
who were reprimanded will remain
at the bottom of their respective
ballots.

These candidates me being pun~
ished for missing a meeting in
which ballot positions were drawn.

April 15 looms like judgment
day for supporters of UK‘s pro-
posed Central and Life Sciences
Library.

If the new library’s bond-issue
funding plan is not authorized by
the General Assembly during the
ﬁnal day of the regular session, of-
ﬁcials say, development plans for
the Clifton Circle site will be
placed on hold.

To date, “the schedule has not
been impacted," UK President
Charles Wethington said yesterday.
“But it will be impacted when the
drawings are complete and we are
ready to open the bidding.”

The architectural drawings to
which Wethington referred should
be completed around the end of
April, he said. Between this step
and groundbreaking lies only the
selection of a construction ﬁrm.

“If we stay on schedule, ground-
breaking would have been in July
or August." said Paul Willis, UK‘s
director of libraries.

Willis said if the regular session
closes and the library project re-
mains out of the budget, the possi-

bility of restoring the project during
a special session offers some hope.

He added however, “If that
doesn‘t happen, we are looking at a
two-year delay."

UK Public Affairs Director Joe
Burch said the library “will be (the
University‘s) number one priority
for the next session" if both ses-
sions refuse authorization.

Wethington agreed, adding,
“Clearly, the project will be com-
pleted."

The president stressed that the
none of the private contributors.
whose donations total more than
$12 million, have requested re-
turned contributions.

“We are building for the long-
term when we build a library for
the University of Kentucky." he
said. “I am conﬁdent that those
who have contributed understand
this and will continue to support

Parents suggest ways to improve schools

By Carole Foldman
Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Echoing a
theme of President Clinton‘s, par-
ents blame uninvolved parents for
many of the problems facing pub-
lic schools. a survey said yester-
day. Suggested solutions: home-
work hot lines and employer-
donated time off work for school
volunteers.

The survey. sponsored by the
American Association of School
Administrators. said parents gener-
ally give good grades to their local
schools. But they say schools
could improve if they crack down
on troublemakers, reduce over-
crowding. teach values and in-
crease parental involvement.

Pollster Celinda Lake said par—
ents cited lack of time as the No. 1
reason for not getting involved.
More than a quarter said they be-

hour off each month to volunteer

ly favor a requirement that each
parent volunteer for at least one
day each school year.

As to what the schools can do.
44 percent of the parents strongly

parents also would like curriculum
