The vote for the next
president of
"America's Next
Great University" has
already taken place
(Item one on your
agenda sir, can it
please be to switch
that slogan? Are we
mediocre now?) That
vote, however. only
had one student
representative voice.
What would have
happenedifthe
entire student body
had voted for the
person they wanted
to be president?
Read below to see
one interpretation,
least votes to most.

1 vote: Janet Reno -
Sick. I would never
support the
University if she
were our president.

2 votes(one of them
mine): Alyssa Milano
- She can save us
tons of money with
collect calls. Can you
ask for much more
from a president, I
think not.

8 votes: Claude Basset -
So eight people got
confused and thought
it was a vote for who
we were most glad to
see gone.

18 votes: The Keebler Elf
- Well, there are 18
people on campus
who really like the
idea of free cookies.

45 votes: Travis Ford - I
really do not know
why he got votes.

64 votes: Scratch — He
can rally troops and
motivate people to
get off their butts
without interfering
with the great
Wildcat himself. He
should have gotten
more votes.

436 votes Ashley Judd -
A long time athletics
supporter of our
University, she could
step up and become
so much more.

1,375 votes: Bill Clinton
- Now that the wife
is going to be busy,
Bill picked up some
sympathy votes here.

2,420 votes: Rick Pitino
- Some blurry-eyed
students are doing
anything they can to
get him back here,
and guess what, he
lost this vote and will
not return to UK.
Anyway, we already
have a coach.

14,974 votes: George
Foreman - He makes
college life easier
then anyone else on
the list with that
little grill of his.
Anything he does
that is unpopular can
be nullified by simply
remembering his
great cooking
machine.

President Todd: Board members vote unanimously for Todd

By Tracy Kershaw
NEWS EDITOR

By Jenny Robertson
DIALOGUE CO-EDITOR

Lee Todd sat anxiously behind his desk
at home Tuesday afternoon.

Across town, his fate was decided
around another. much larger desk.

Todd. a Lexington entrepreneur and
former UK electrical engineering professor.
became UK's llth president by an unani
mous Board of Trustee vote.

“Can you be here in 15 minutes?" was

the question that made Tor‘l change out of

JjEALItL

his casual khakis into a suit and tie and jet
to the 18th floor of Patterson Office Tower.
“Having this opportunity. this is a good

as it gets," Todd said to the crowd of

trustees. faculty. staff. students and
reporters.
By voting time, Todd was the only can
didate remaining. Candidate Gregory Geofr
froy accepted the president‘s post at the Uni.
versity of Iowa on Monday night. The other
candidate. .Ion Whitmore. bowed out of the
race soon after. citing personal reasons.
The Board went into closed session for
nearly an hour before emerging to usher in
Todd. Some speculatwl the board would re

open the search. but trustee and former
governor Ned Breathitt said that option was
never discussed.

Board members had confidence in
Todd. including SGA president and trustee
Jimmy Glenn. who said he will begin work-
ing with Todd as soon as possible.

Todd has already brainstormcxl ways to
involve students in the decision-making
process. He especially wants student input
on increasing green space on campus.

“If you look at the space you've got
and apply a little ingenuity to it. which
students have a lot of. we can find some
ways to make it more attractive.” he said.

Todd graduated from UK in 1968 be
fore getting his masters at Massachusetts

The University of Ken
tucky College of Pharmacy
and the UK Hospital want to
help improve the quality of
life for smokers. all smokers.

Melody Ryan, an assis-
tant professor in the College
of Pharmacy. said the college
and hospital have teamed up
to offer the public a 12-week
session of the Cooper/Clay-
ton Method to Stop Smoking.

“Pharmacists are the
most accessible health care
practitioners. and are cer-

tainly able to help patients
stop smoking." Ryan said.

Ryan said the program
would help individuals stop
smoking as soon as they start
by using nicotine replace-
ment. And no, you don‘t have
to quit cold turkey.

Instead. she said the
treatment focuses on gradual-
ly quitting by using the Coop-
er/Clayton Method. a series
of discussions and videos
that focus on gradually quit-
ting.

“We have group sessions
for discussion." she said. “We
will show videos and discuss

strategies for problematic sits
nations."

Allan Zillich. a primary
care specialty resident at the
UK College of Pharmacy.
works with the project to
help people quit smoking. He
said one of the most impor-
tant aspects for quitting
smoking cigarettes isn’t nee
essarily a replacement. but

The seven escaped convicts

as they hid out in this peaceful
town for three weeks.

At least one of the men at-
tended Bible sturly sessions
and befriended several resi‘

Several frequented a coffee
shop. Some even felt safe
enough to go drinking and
dancing in area nightclubs. But
they kept their heads down

two had disguised themselves
by dyeing their hair.

Woodland Park Police Sgt.
Bill Sumner speculated the
men played (‘hristian music for
well-calculated reasons.

"The No. 1 way to look in-
nocuous and innocent is to look
real religious." Sumner said.

One of the biggest man-

convicts. Four were arrested

Continued from panel

Institute of Technology. He re-
turned to UK as an electrical engi
neering professor in 1974.

“He always had titiie for stu
dents." said Vice President for Uni
versity Relations Joe Burch. who
was dean of students when Todd
taught at UK. "He loved every
tninute of it.”

Faculty trustee [.oys Mather
called Tuesday a historic day for
UK.

"it marks the return to [K of
one of our own." Mather said, "He
came to us with perhaps the least
traditional background of any pre
vious president. That may, howev

.iust as the

 

 

 

er. turn out to be his greatest asset."

Some faculty members have
criticized Todd‘s non-traditional
business background. Todd said he
will try to improve relations with
those professors during his
transition.

“Whenever l perceive l have a
weakness. i want to cover that
weakness." Todd said. "Hi proba
bly. by virtue of their concerns.
spend more time with them (facul-
ty) than i ttiiglit the other parts of
campus."

Hreathitt said it was a “healing
day for Kentucky and its
University."

The hoard had been divided on
some issues in the past. one being
the contract issue for current UK
President (‘harles Wethington. he
said.

"The Board put aside the divi-

sion in the past and concentrated on
what is best for UK. The unanimous
vote exhibits that." he said.

Wethington. who retires July 1,
said Todd is coming to UK at a time
when the University is poised for
national greatness.

“i think I‘m leaving a Universi-
ty that is on the move," he said.
"We‘ve taken very seriously the
statute that says we‘re to become a
Top 20 university. The momentum
we have now will serve our next
president.“

UK’s goal to becotne a Top 20
public research university encom-
passes more than just raising re-
search dollars. Todd said. If UK
doesn't help the children and citi-
zens of Kentucky. he said. the goal
would not be fully accomplished.

Todd added. "i don't intend
to fail.
