LXPERIENCE

Fingerprint: Wilkinson's UK legacy
lingers on after his death at age 60

QLMlWPESEW
STAFF W [R

From bookstores to
boardrooms to basketball.
Wallace Wilkinson left his
mark on the University of
Kentucky campus.

Wilkinson. a Casey
(‘ounty native who served as
Governor of Kentucky from
1987 to 1991. died last week
at Lexington's St. Joseph
Hospital. Wilkinson suffered
a massive stroke while in
the hospital for complica-
tions from cancer and heart
disease. He was 60.

One of Wilkinson's
most notable acts as gover»
nor involving UK came in
1991. when. as outgoing gov-
ernor. he appointed himself
to a six-year term on the
UK Board of Trustees.

Wilkinson. who had en-
acted education reform in
Kentucky's primary and
secondary schools during
his tenure as governor. said
he planned to do the same

for higher education while
on the Board.

But the move was high»
1y criticized by many. who
called it nothing more than
a precursor to a run for gov
ernor in 1995. Wilkinson lost
a bid for a second term to
Gov Brereton Jones in the
i991 gubernatorial election.

The outgoing governor's
self-appointment caused
quite a stir. prompting the
1992 General Assembly to
pass a “ripper" provision.
which changed the selection
process for university re»
gents and trustees. The pro-
vision called for a nominat
ing committee to he formed.
Gov. Jones and state Rep.
Ernesto Scorsone. l)-l.exing-
ton. asked that all current
UK Board of Trustees mem-
bers be ousted. The law was
eventually used to remove
Wilkinson and some of his
appointments from the UK
Board.

Opportunity: Bucks for Brains program
lets students work with top researchers

Undergraduates have
not been entirely left out of
UK's multimillion dollar
“Bucks for Brains" program.

The Research Challenge
Trust Fund. better known
as Bucks for Brains. was
started by the state iegisiar
ture in 1997 to draw top re-
searchers and teachers from
institutions around the
country to UK.

This year. it includes a
summer program that will
pair 25 minority undergrad-
uate students with the re-
searchers hired under the
R(‘Ti‘ in a setting similar to
a paid internship. said

is associated with Huning-

search is successful it could

Sanders said she was
nervous when she began the
program. but quickly over-
came her anxieties. “i was-
n‘t sure about it when i first
learned we use E. Coii to
produce taiin." she said.
“But then i found out E. Coli

“The program seems to
be working very well." Me»
Cann said. “She is helping
us do the things we do. and
she is learning a lot as well.
so the benefit accrues to

both of us."

McCann said the pro-
gram is “targeted at Ken-
tucky residents who come
from traditionally underrep
resented groups,"

“The program beats a
regular 9 to 5 job." Sanders
said. “it is a wonderful
learning experience. there's
wonderful people to work
with and it‘s lots of fun."

Sanders also said the
program helped her decide
on a career and will
strengthen her resume
when she applies to medical
school. “You are already one
step ahead." she said. "You
already have the knowledge
and the connections."

Auditors say manual for KSU not used

FRANKFURT State auditors say a financial opera-
tions manual they devised for Kentucky State University
has been mostly ignored. University officials said their
own procedures were adequate; they just had not been fol-
lowed. State Auditor Ed Hatchett's staff produced an oper-
ations manual last year while examining the university’s
finances for fiscal year 1999. The audit for that period said
internal accounting at KSU was so haphazard that examin-
ers could not give an opinion about the school's financial
condition. A member of the university's board of regents.
Harry Lee Waterfteld II. said parts of the auditors' manual
had been implemented. A new manual was put together be-
cause the university‘s own manual could not be found dur~
ing the 1999 audit, he said. With their own manual again in
hand. university officials decided it was adequate, Water-
tield said.

Giuliani divorce settled out of court, no case
NEW YORK Former Big Apple Mayor Rudolph Giu-
liani and Donna Hanover reached an out-of-court divorce
settlement Wednesday. avoiding a public conclusion to
their bitter separation after two decades of marriage. The
settlement was accepted by the court the day the case was
scheduled to go to trial. Supreme Court Justice Judith Gis—
clie had granted attorneys for the two an extension to fi-
nalize details of the settlement worked out in an all-night
negotiating session. The marriage began falling apart dur-
ing Giuliani's first term as mayor. Giuliani. 58, had filed for
divorce in October 2000. accusing Hanover. a television per-
sonality and sometime actress. of cruel and inhuman
treatment. Hanover. in her own filing last month. blamed
the exntayor's "open and notorious adultery“ for the split.

UK theatre staff sets the stage}

STAFF WRITER

John Holloway began attending the Lexington
Shakespeare Festival when it was being held at Woodland
Park. While enjoying the plays Holloway a stenit produrtion
faculty member in UK s Departure nt of Theati e would have
ideas roll through his mind on how he would p1 esent the play s
if he were in charge of the set.

This year. Holloway got the ehanee to put those rolling
ideas to work.

For the first time in its 21 years. the Lexington
Shakespeare Festival is being presented in conjunction with
the University of Kentucky. allowing llK faculty to have a
hand in the production.

And Holloway couldn't be happier

“I've known all these people for years.
coming to see the festival for years as well."
being able to work firsthand with the production. “For the
theatre department. we thought that if we eould get involved
with this in a substantial way. it would retleet well on us."

One of the most time-consuming changes Holloway has
made with a staff from the Department of Theatre is the
building of a metal elevated stage. which will not only put the
performers at a better sight level with the audience, but will
make setting up the Festival 111 years to come a much easier
process. In years past. a wooden platform was built every year
and torn down at the end of the Festival.

“The advantage of this one is that next year. we can set it
up in a day rather than two weeks.“ Holloway said of the new
stage. "It took a while to construct it. But now it should speed
things up in the future."

Other changes to the Festival setting include narrowing
the seating area (but moving the stage farther down so as not
to lessen the amount of seating1 in order to improve site lines
and sound. making the stage higher off the ground so the
actors can be seen better: widening the seating area to enhanee
the sound. adding light posts to inerease illumination and
adding side panels anrl a backdrop around the stage in hopes
of sprucing up the entire appearance

“Hopefully. it will he smoother looking." Holloway said.
“We hope it will add a little more polish to the Festival."

In addition. the set for each play will be cmnpletely
different, another aspect that hasn‘t been done in the past.

“The concept that you have three different sets for three
different shows is the biggest thing that‘s elianged." Holloway
said. “Before. they would just have one basic set that they
would change dressing on. but it was basically the same thing.
These are all completely different.“

Even though Holloway considers the work the
Department of Theatre has done on the ‘estival a “mammoth

The new Shakespeare Festival stage has been built over the past few
months - a job that' s proven to be a “mammoth undertaking. "

undertaking." he says UK's collaboration with the Festival has
been a great experience.

"Historically; there's been a pretty close tie. although it
hasn‘t been formal." Holloway said. “It just seemed to me that
the t'estiyal had grown to a point where they could make
ehanges like this. We just feel like this is a real leap for them
this year."

“I think it‘s a good festival. and it's exciting that they're
doing what they‘re doing." he added.

Get festive

Gates open for the Lexington Shakespeare Festival nightly at 1 pm. with pre- -show fun at 8 and the Show beginning at
8: 45 Tickets are $5 for general admission $10 for a reserved chair (chair provided) $30 for blanket seating for four (blanket

, LEE TODD'5 VEAR ONE:
NO MORE HEDGES, NO MORE IW.

IN OUR OPINION

A successful first
ear for Lee Todd

On Julv l. 2001. Lee Todd replaced Charles Wetbiiigton to become
the l’iiiversity of Kentucky‘s lltb president.

Wethington‘s presidency was fraught with controversy. from his
appointment as president by then Governor Wallace Wilkinson to the
2000 arrest of students protesting sweatshop labor.

Todd's first year as UK's president was no less eventful. Todd was
thrust into the national spotlight just months after he took office when
the NCAA investigated UK's football program and the Athletics depart—
ment. From his quest to make UK a top university to working to
improve conditions for students and employees. Todd has shown him-
self to be a capable and competent leader. Here’s why:

-’[‘he Athletics Department. The NCAA football violations occurred
before ’l‘odd took office. yet be dealt with the media‘s questions and
enacted reform. After Larry Ivy resigned as athletics director. Todd
announced the formation of a search committee for a new director and
promised to hold the department accountable. A new AD should be
announced by the end of July.

«Budget constraints. The state of Kentucky‘s economic shortfalls
resulted in a tight 2002-2003 fiscal year budget for the university Instead
of awarding raises. the university granted three percent merit bonuses
for some faculty. Citing the economic conditions. Todd declined a
8100.000 merit bonus proposed by the Board of Trustees in June.

-(.‘umpus imp/m'ements. Sure. everyone jokes about the Starbucks
and the hot dog stands. However. it‘s nice to see someone taking an
interest in providing more eating options for students. The removal of
the hedges around Maxwell Place is also a plus. Now we can see that we
do have a president living in the house.

“Pop-:30 status. For a while. we were just "America's Next Great
University." Todd has encouraged not only continuing UK‘s tradition of
gmundbreaking research but wants to see all colleges and departments
excel. For years. most of the emphasis was placed solely on research.
UK should be a top-20 school in everything from languages to fine arts
to business to architecture to the sciences.

With this level of determination. we can have a school that can
attract the brightest students and faculty and compete with the
nation‘s leading universities.

“\ll of my

or had other [)l’lll‘s. I was
pretty bummed about the
prospect of spending the
Fourth at home. watching the
Boston Pops ()rcl‘iestra on
television like I have for the
last ten years

I‘m ashamed to admit
that I turned into a ltll of a

there's more to the Fourth
than just haying fun: if there
was any time we were re

wanted to go watch some fire-
works with some friends and
have a good time. None of my

whining. but I
sure felt like it.

So, I ended up
spending my
Fourth of July at
home. cleaning
out my email ac-
count and backing
up my computer.
What an exciting
evening. I thought.

To top off my
happening night. I
decided to go get some vanilla
ice cream. My mom. the
queen of channel surfing.
was looking for something in-
teresting on TV before the
Boston Pops concert started.

She stopped on a special
on PBS about Air Force One.
The program was a look back
on the history of presidents
and their airplanes.

I was thrilled. Planes and
politics what more could
you want'.’

I found the special fasci»
nating. It was a behindthe-
scenes look at a place few
people have the opportunity
to experience. It was a docu-
mentary of history made at
35.000 feet.

Blame your
friends for w
smoking habit

College does strange things to
us. Maybe it‘s the whole peer pres-
sure thing. or maybe it's the inde-
pendence. but we all try to do things
that we probably wouldn‘t attempt
otherwise. One curious thing that
many people try for the first time is
smoking. Granted. many start in
high school. but college itself leads
many toward the dark side.

I often wonder why people actu«
ally try smoking in the first place.
With this question. I asked both
myself and some of my friends; in the end. peer pressure and
social atmosphere have the most to do with it.

You can blame your friends now. It‘s not the cigarettes
themselves that have the most to do with it. but your buddy
who has been a life-long smoker. This person buys you a
drink on one of your collegiate birthdays and says to you in a
dark voice, "have a smoke. it's good for you." If it’s a female,
then guys will say yes. of course. Otherwise, that tantalizing
little white-tipped curiosity gets the better of you. It’s either
that or you're already drunk. You can always count on your
friends to get you in trouble.

Cigarette manufacturers aren‘t the ones to blame. just
the ones for litigation. Their ads in the media aren't the ones
to worry about either. since most of them are too cheesy to
lure us. We‘re college students; we know not to trust advertis-
ing. And Joe Camel? He's so. well. 803.

Cigarettes have to be one of the most physically and psy-
chologically addicting things known to man. They look
harmless enough. yet are. the primary causes for countless
deaths each year. Humans are also curious creatures
themselves; just read up on Pandora‘s Box. Combine fire and
foliage and you're sure to find something intoxicating to
inhale. North America had tobacco, while Asia had opium.
Fair enough. Actually. nicotine itself has been found to have
certain beneficial health uses. but the 29,999 other ingredi—
ents in cigarettes are far sketchier.

It‘s been known that smoking is bad for one‘s health for a
long time. Perhaps the average life expectancy wasn’t quite
long enough for them realize cigarettes' other effects though.
Wary individuals noticed a trend in smoking and cancer and
German scientists found a statistical link between the two in
the early 1930's. Of course. leave it to stubborn Americans to
demand concrete scientific proof of that. You can jump off a
cliff and you‘ll die 90% of the time. unless you land on the
previous jumper We want 99.99% proof positive and having
just 90““ doesn‘t cut it. RJ Reynolds must be laughing in his
grave.

Since these so-called cancer sticks are bad for you. people
try to stop others from starting in the first place
