The fiyer clearly is aimed at
UK‘s_black students, but its first
line says a lot to white men: “For
minority students only."

The ad, found in UK's Office
of Minority Affairs, promotes a
private educational consulting
service. It is one example of a so-
cial trend that makes some white
men uncomfortable.

A 1993 Newsweek poll found
that 29 percent of white males
said they now have a worse
chance than non-whites or wom-
en of gaining acceptance to a
university, and 46 percent said
they believed they were paying
an unfair penalty for advantages
they had in the past.

The anxiety many
white males feel to-

society may have "
some of its roots in
the way universities

Student council announces
historical marker project

 

By Perry Brothers
Staff Writer

The UK Student Development
Council is challenging the 1994
senior class to leave an unprece~
dented mark on campus.

In a press conference yesterday
morning, Phillip Allen, an English
senior and former council presi-
dent, introduced the UK Senior
Challenge Historical Marker Pro-
ject.

The campaign encourages sen-
iors to donate $19.94 each for the
erection of permanent markers
commemorating significant histori-
cal events that happened on cam
pus.

Allen hopes the fund-raising pro-
ject will “instill in students the im-
portance of private giving,“ both
now, as students, and in the future,
as alumni.

In the past, Senior Challenge
proceeds went directly toward
scholarships. said Matthew Hess,
Student Development Council pub-
licity director.

"This is the first time in the 129
years of UK's history that seniors
can walk out on campus and see a
tangible result of their donations,“

said Hess, an agricultural econom-

campuses like the University of

proved successful. Allen said.

Mid-term grade

proposal

passes f

University Senate

 

By Stephen D. Trimble
Assistant News Editor

 

The University Senate yesterday
passed a proposal that will make
teachers more accountable to stu-
dents, Student Government Associ-
ation officials say.

The approved proposal means
that teachers must inform students
of their current grades by the last
day of the mid-term withdrawal
date.

This would
give a failing stu-
dent the opportu-
nity to drop a :
class without it
appearing on his
transcript.

“Students need

teachers have a their grade.

have a responsibility
to let students know

grades by one, end-of-semester pro-
ject or performance, making a mid-
term grade unfeasible.

In cases like this, teachers will
not be required to distribute mid-
term grades.

Faulks said, however, that the
policy will be hard to enforce.

“We‘re not going to have people
in the classrooms making sure the
teachers are handing the grades out,
but this at least puts it in the senate
rules."

He added that students may ap-
peal to the Univer-
sity ombudsman if
mid‘temr marks
are not posted by
teachers.

their grade,“ SGA _ Amb
Vice President . ’
Amber Leigh SGA vrce pr
said.

Leigh and

SGA Senator at Large Stephen
Dawahare, who together submitted
the proposal, said it was a revision
of a similar request that the facul-
ty-oriented senate quickly tabled in
November.

“There was a lot of controversy
and a lot of debate because the last
one was too structured," Dawahare
said.

He said the original measure list-
ed specific guidelines for grading
different classes, from seminars to
art classes to English 101.

This approach, however, was too
exact for the faculty to support, he
said.

Under the new policy, which
will not take effect until fall, Leigh
said teachers will be able to “for-
mulate their own way of grading."

This pleased some of the senate
members.

Senate Chairman Daniel Faulks
said the wording of the new policy
was left intentionally vague to al-
low teachers fiexibility in the way
they structure their classes.

For example, Faulks said some
music and art classes determine

“It‘s going to
mean more paperwork for the facul-
ty, but I think it will work out," he
said.

For teachers, another benefit may
be that it will force them to exam-
ine their syllabi for fairness to stu-
dents, Faulks said.

Dawahare added this new policy
will help students who are strug-
gling through classes.

“The University is saying by this,
‘We‘re on the same side here as the
students,‘ " he said.

Chancellor for the Lexington
Campus Robert Hemenway told the
senate yesterday the importance of
freshman retention.

He said the current freshman
class contains 68 National Merit
Scholars, up from 12 in 1989, and
boasts ACT scores nearly four
points above the national average of
20.7.

However, only 58 percent of
UK‘s i987 freshman class complet-
ed at least a four year degree at the
University, Hemenway said.

“If this is the quality of our fresh-
man class, why are we not retaining
more of these students?" he asked.

PPD employees
upset over policy

 

By Kathryn Abney
Staff Writer

A small group of University em-
ployees is upset over how UK is
handling pay for last Friday's snow
delay.

“Morale is real low right now and
we feel like they're kicking us in
the butt,” Physical Plant Division
worker Charles Cunliffe said.

Cunliffe said he was asked to
give up a half hour of pay because
he did not put in a full seven and-a-
half hour work day Friday, even
though his boss said he would get
full pay. “I was told I had full-time
and could go home,“ he said.

UK delayed the start of the work
day Friday until 10 am. — a two-
hour lag for most employees. Be-
cause this left only five and a half
hours in the work day. UK officials
decided to give everyone who came
in at 10 am. two hours of compen-
sation pay.

Cunliffe usually starts work at
7:30 am. On Friday, he came in at
9:30 am. and started work shortly
after. He left at 3:25, which means
he worked about five hours, sub-
tracting his lunch break.

With two hours of comp time, he
still was a half hour short of a full
day and will have to use 30 minutes
of his vacation time to make up the
difference.

He said he didn't know he would
be docked for the half hour when he

left because of exhaustion from re-
moving icc from sidewalks.

“My arm was like nibbcr.” he
said.

Vice Chancellor for Administra-
tion Jack Blanton said, however,
that it would be unfair to let (Tun-
liffe have the half hour and a spe-
cial advantage.

He said UK is trying to be fair to
everyone. He said. for example, that
employees who came in and started
their regular shifts before UK an-
nounced the snow delay are being
given two hours of vacation time.

“'I‘hat's the only way we know
how to make it fair to everybody,“
Blanton said of the pay decisions.
“Anytime you delay school, people
expect to be paid for it, and it‘s a
terrible explanation problem."

Blanton apologized for not being
able to notify employees about the
compensation and said officials did
not decide on the two-hour plan un-
til late Friday or early Monday.

Other PPD employees said yes-
terday that they were upset because
of their working conditions.

"I was told to shovel the walk.
and they said I had to go out with-
outaraincoatandboots.andlgot
soaking wet." said J.R. Ford, an
employee in the sheet metal shop.

“Students walking by say they
appreciate what we‘re doing, shov-
eling the sidewalks. " Cunliffe add-
ed. “You get back here to the plant
and you hear no thanks.

"It's a different world here.’

Night owls flock together
at 24-hour establishments

 

By Brian Manley
Assistant Ans Editor

 

“Sleep is the twin of death."
Homer

For many college students. the
approach of midnight often signi-
fies the end of a long day filled
with long walks to boring classes,
fntitless and underpaying jobs, and
several hours of required studying.

Sleep awaits them like some
prize to be gained by living
through another day. However, for
others, the tolling of the “Witching
hour" is an alarm clock that practi—
cally summons them into the night
life of Lexington.

True, those who belong to this
nocturnal breed normally are
dubbed insomniacs, and usually are
left to their moonlight fancies un-
disturbed.

Yet, the question that remains is,
what is there for entertainment in a
city that can hardly boast a moni-
ker anywhere near that of the “city
that never sleeps”?

Where, in Lexington, can one go
to satisfy his or her nighttime needs
and ignore the callings of an undis—
turbed bed?

The answer is quite simple. For
many time-starved students, its the
absolute perfect opportunity to sat-
isfy their undeniable cravings for
that adrenaline-reviving midnight
snack.

Of the few 24-hour establish-
ments in Lexington, all-night res-

,. taurants (mostly by process of

elimination) are the main hangouts.
Customers can hit several food
joints in the city. including White

Castle, Denny‘s. Waffle House and
Perkins. Hardee's on Euclid Ave-
nue also bows to the tastes of the
insomniac crowd.

Of course. no discussion of 24-
hour temples would be complete
without a mention of the infamous
ToIIy Ho on South Limestone
Street.

“Right after the bars close, it
stays busy until about 3 am," said
Rob Gunnell, a Tolly Ho employ-
ee. “We have quite a few regulars
who come in three or four nights a
week."

The particular night I visited the
Ho, I managed to sneak my way
into one of the ever—popular all-
night card games that take place on
a nightly basis.

“Actually. the only reason 1
come here is to play cards ~ and I
love greasy food,” explained
Chuck Powell, a political science
graduate student. “What this town
needs is a 24-hour bookstore, be-
cause at 12 am, I’m not exhaust-
ed, and I just want to go some-
where and hang out without getting
kicked out."

Although eating most likely en-
compasses the activities of the ma-
jority. there are other round«the-
clock locations one can visit, as
well.

For example, if one desperately
needs the store‘s services, especial-
ly as term paper time nears, or if
one just wants to get a bunch of
copies made for his or her own per-
sonal amusement, Kinko‘s proudly
displays the “open 24 hrs" sign on
its doors.

Also, if you’re caught with the
sudden urge to purchase groceries

 

 

Hon Pen, a UK School of Music faculty member, enjoys hls

meal at Tolly-Ho restaurant on South leestone Street.

at 4 am, Kroger will accommo-
date you gladly.

“It starts to pick up right before
1 (am), because that‘s when we
stop selling beer," said Mike
Stone. 3 Kroger employee and
Lexington Community College ra-
diography sophomore.

For those with mere adventurous
tastes, there is always the old
Brumfrelds' Hay and Grain ware—
house on South Broadway, home
to those who wish to hang out
there at night “and be pensive,”
said undeclared freshman Jeffery
Scott Holland.

“You meet some real interesting
people," added Pete Hrabak, a
physical education sophomore.
“People are always sitting there

and playing instruments or baking
cakes."

The late night crowd is also privy
to many sights not available to the
daytime masses. Mike Pelfrey, a
telecommunications sophomore,
said he has witnessed some strange
sights as Hardee’s assistant manag-
er.

One night he saw a group of five
daring — and totally naked — col-
lege girls sprinting through the res-
taurant.

“I guess it was some kind of so-
rority prank," Pelfrey said. “It was
real interesting.”

These vampiric souls, while oth-
ers snore the years away, yearn to
taste every moment of life, as well
as the next round of coffee.

Amos, who plays the piano as

her two talents into unified har-

melancholy melody of longing,
the piano work seamlessly

her debut, Little Earthquakes, with another lyri-
cally searching album, Under the Pink. Amos’
voice resonates with strength and emotion on
her second album, even though her songs are not
as charged with energy as on her debut album.

She shocked the music world with her ballad.
“Silent After All These Years," a m0ving testi-
mony of when she was raped. Breaking the code
of silence surrounding rape, she transfused her
voice with anguished emotion.

On Under the Pink, she tackles other weighty
topics like spirituality and the death of love. Her
voice moves through a variety of tones, from
ethereal to earthy, and her fine lyrical calibration
lends emotional precision to all her works.

On the soul-searching ballad “God," she ques-
tions divine inspiration and guidance. The ballad
captures the uncertainty of a patriarchal God in
modern life: “God. sometimes you just don‘t
come through/sometimes you just don’t come
through/do you need a woman to look after you/
God, sometimes you just don’t come through.“

girls what have we done to ourselves/driving on
the vines over clothes lines/but officer, I thought
I saw the sign/thought I‘d been through this in
l9l9/counted the tears of ten thousand men/ and
gathered them all.”

On “Baker Baker,“ she transforms the child-
hood nursery rhyme into a hymn to lost love.
“Baker Baker can you explain/if truly his heart
was made of icing/and I wonder how mine could
taste/maybe we could change his mind." Amos’
voice languidly caresses each word with sea-
soned heartache.

Amos picks up the pace with the jazzy “Com-
flake Girl.” Drums and a mandolin add an infec-
tious rhythm to the nonsensical ode to breakfast.
“Never was a comflake girl/thought that was a
good solution/hangin‘ with the raisin girl/she’s
gone to the other side/giving us a yo heave ho."

Under the Pink continues Amos‘ tradition of
lyrical intensity. Skillfully transfusing emotion
into both of her instruments. piano and voice. she

produces another album destined for success.

Seriously? To quote Metallica,
it’s sad but true.

UK coach Rick Pitino spoke at
yesterday's press conference of the
declining behavior exhibited by
college coaches of late.

“It’s occurring everywhere,“ Piti-
no said. “They are ugly incidents,
and there is no reason for it. Every-
one is there to see strategy, to see
players trying to win, not the
coaches.“

Pitino said much of the current
trouble could be averted if the offi-
cials would take a firm stand with
the coaches.

“Before each game, I tell the of-
ficials, ‘Don’t pay attention to me
or to (the opposing coach),‘ “ he
said, adding that coaches who con-

stantly berate referees should get
one warning, then be assessed a
technical and then an ejection no-
tice with each ensuing tirade.

“The great refs are the ones who
ignore coaches," he said.

.Yesterday, the UK coach and
several Wildcat players reflected on
the hallowed 1991-92 UK squad.
whose precision ball movement
(and unique niche in UK sports
lore) is what the current bunch of
Wildcats strive to imitate.

“'Ihat team was poetry in mo-
tion." Pitino said. “We had a great
number of assists, low turnovers
and good free-throw percentage."

With the torch now passed to a
new, more athletic breed of Wild-
cats. the UK coach sat the current
team down and relived the ‘92
team’s accomplishments: the retired
jerseys, the team name (The Unfor-
gettables).

Pitino jokingly told the squad
that if they did not improve, they
would be labeled the “Forgetta-
bles."

“Now, we are stronger and quick-
er (than the ‘92 squad), but we
don’t know the system," he said.

Sophomore forward Rodrick
Rhodes watched the Unforgetta-
bles‘ well—oiled offensive machine
on television from his New Jersey
home after signing with the Wild-
cats in the fall of 1991.

Rhodes said he marveled at the
number of layups generated by the
offense. “That’s what I think we're
missing. We have a team that could
have great motion."

The optimistic Rhodes concluded
by stating, “There are two ways you
can look at it: one, wait until we‘re
juniors or seniors to (master the of-
fense) or to do it while we're soph-
omores," obviously hoping for the
latter.

Little went right the last
time the Cats ventured to
the Bayou. The Wildcats‘
only highlight occurred
when Ford drew a charge
frorn current NBA superstar
Shaquille O'Neal.

“lie was coming down
the lane full blast," Ford
said. reflecting on the collision he
could not possibly win. “I didn't
want to take the charge, but I had
no choice."

While the past four LSU tczuns
possessed imposing inside attacks,

current squad has Brown, the Ti-
gers‘ narcissant and politically in-
correct coach. asking “where‘s the
heel?"

This year’s squad features a start-
ing lineup that measures 6-foot-4,
