ll Senate returns tonlus/minus

By James thclilo

Senior Staff Writer

The University Senate will decide today whether
to delay implementation of plus/minus grading for
the Graduate School until fall 1998.

In its February meeting, the Senate considered a
plus/minus system that mimicked the one currently
used by the College of Arts and Sciences. An amend-
tnent was made to include a grade ofA—plus, and the
Senate approved the measure.

Later in the month, the Graduate Council, head-
ed by Acting Dean of Graduate Studies Constance
\Vood, proposed to the Senate Council that the
motion to delay plus/minus grading for graduate stu—
dents be brought to the Senate floor for action.

Part of the motivation for the proposal that the
addition of an A-plus grade alters the grading range,
increasing the maximum possible grade point aver—
age from 4 to 4.3.

“It represents a serious change in the grading
scale," Wood said.

The higher maximum GPA mi ht be an issue
when students“ grades' were reported anywhere out—
side the University, VVood said, such as when the
student transfers schools.

She said the delay of one year would allow the
graduate faculty the opportunity to discuss and
address the ramifications of such a chan e.

Graduate School senator Michael ' omblyn said

he agrees with the Graduate Council's reasons for

wanting a delay.

“An A-plus completely throws off the system,"

said Tomblyn, a toxicology graduate student.

Having taught college—level courses in biology
and chemistry, Tomblyn said an A—plus grade should

not be an option.

If a student achieves the 98 or ()9 percent neces-
sary to achieve an Avplus, then the instructor is not

pushing the class hart enough.

\Vood said she does not know how most graduate
faculty members feel about the .-\«plus grade. But
when the (iraduatc Council constructed a
plus/minus proposal a year ago, such a provision was
not included in the package.

She said she sees both advantages and disadvan-
tages.

Some other items on the meeting agenda:

VA proposal to create grades of“S” (satisfactory)
and “L" (unsatisfactory) for students in graduate
seminars. independent work courses. research cours-
es that extend beyond normal limits of a term and
residence credit courses for master's and doctoral
students. Currently no grade exists to record unsatis-
factory progress in such a course.

VA proposal to place students who haven't
declared a major under the Dean of Undergraduate
Studies for advising and decisions about academic
status. Currently undeclared students are registered
to the College of Arts and Sciences.

Journalism school plans strong vision for its future

By Jennllet Smith
Stafl Writer

As universities across the country scrap their jour-
nalism programs, the UK School ofJournalism and
Telecommunications stands strong with the aid of an
enhangement plan called Vision 2000.

The lan calls for fund-raising, a new Media Cen-
ter for t e Future, seminars for alumni and increased
numbers and diversity in enrollment.

The push for the Media Center for the Future
began in 1994, and it is now financially supported by
UK President Charles Wethington, Vice President
for Information Systems Eugene Williams, and Lex-
ington Campus Chancellor Elisabeth Zinser. The
cost for the center exceeds $350,000.

The media center plan has three phases. The first
concerns physical improvements in the Grehan
Building, the second centers on research and the
third focuses on a downtown site as a public service.

Planning continues for the downtown site that
would serve “to help alumni in jobs where technolo-
gy is changing,” said Buck Ryan, the school’s direc-
tor.

The program offers seminars and workshops for
UK alumni and other professionals who want to be
in sync with the latest communication trends. Semi-
nars will discuss such topics as using the Internet.

This year students were presented with a better
educational program.

More courses were added, from visual communi-
cation to advanced wridng courses, while internship

and job opportunities were expanded with the help
of job listings posted on the journalism school’s Web
page.

Programs within the journalism, telecommunica-
tions and integrated strategic communications tracks
are being molded together in a student-friendly
manner.

The computer facilities in the Grehan Building
offer better access because they are open nights and
weekends.

Changes in the school have affected faculty in a
positive way. In addition to better teachin facilities
and tools, faculty salaries have increascdg, and the
number of faculty is now the largest in the school's
history.

The visiting professor series, which began in
1995, has brought in outside professionals to keep
students on top of the changing trends in the com-
munications field.

The professors will now teach courses every other
semester for one year, every two years, or “five to 15
weeks every other semester,” according to the Vision
2000 update that was released in November 1995.

Curriculum overhauls have expanded the course
selection. Each program sequence has devised a mis-
sion statement, stated how the sequence fit in with
the other sequences. and revised course offerings.

Attcm ts to improve the school have not gone
unnoticc .

Karla Dooley, journalism sophomore, said she is
grateful for the improvements co the computer labs.

Ryan agreed that the labs are the biggest improve—

ment.

“The computers are obvious and helpful to stu-
dents and professors," he said, “and they allow us to
do things we haven’t been able to do before, making
the classroom experience more meaningful for stu-
dents.”

More improvements are needed, though, as the
school moves toward high technology and the stu-
dent population grows more diverse.

The faculty conducted a self-study on minority
and female representation. According to the study,
the school's white population has dropped from 96
percent to about 88 percent.

The African-American population has risen from
nearly four percent to about six percent, increasing
the racial diversity.

Some hope for a wider variety of course offerings.

“I would like to see more specialized classes,”
Dooley said. “Broadcast majors end up taking the
same classes as print majors.”

Roy Moore, associate director of graduate studies
for the College of Communications and Information
Studies, said the biggest need is learning about new
technology.

“We need to continue to expand our broadcast
program and multimedia areas because there are bet-
ter job opportunities for students,” he said.

Moore said he would like to see expansion in visu-
al communications, formerly known as photojour-
nalism. However, advancement is difficult because of
the lack of facilities, and a much larger visual lab
would be required.

NATIDN Ills criticized in book

WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue
Service’s former historian says the agency mishan-
dles, even destroys, important historical records.
Law violations she alleges include the vandalizing
of presidential tax returns by IRS employees seek-
ing souvemrs.

A new book by Shelley L. Davis, who resigned
in 1995 after seven years as IRS historian, hits the
stands as the tax-collecting agency faces, in the
words of Commissioner Margaret Milner
Richardson, “unprecedented attacks on the tax
system.”

More came yesterday. Rep. Billy Tauzin. R-
La., a longtime critic of the agency, described the
IRS as “the most un—American agency we have in
the country, where you walk in guilty and you stay
guilty unless you prove you’re innocent.”

March adds IIIB to eats

By Jason Dattllo
Senior Sufi" Writer

MEMPHIS Tenn. — Rick Pitino said
March is the time of year when he encourages
risk taking. With that in mind the UK coach
tinkered with UK’s lineup and came away with
the Southeastern Conference tourney title and
a No. I seed for this week's NCAA Tourna-
ment.

With penetration specialist Wayne Turner
runnin the point and two~guard Anthony
Epps raining threes from the wing, UK
looked like a team with a newfound identity.

“Turner gives us another dimension, but
Anthony also gives another dimension at two-
spot,” Pitino said. “It’s been a wonderful
experiment that’s panning out wonder-
fully for us right now.”

Epps notched a career-high 22 points
against Georgia in the final and even showed
the world he could drive the lane and hit
Turner-like runners near the basket.

“Anthony knew he was still going to play,
and he also knew that Wayne flat-out deserved
to pla ' at the point," said Pitino, who also
move Jared Prickett back into the starting
rotation at center. “So he decided to become
Tony Delk.”

Quite a compliment, but Pitino might have
had something else in mind when he compared
Epps to the former UK star, now in the NBA.

“Coach was yelling at me and calling me
Tony Delk because I was starting to cramp
up,” said Epps, who left yesterday’s game in
the second half with leg cramps. Delk. of
course, was plagued by chronic cramping
throughout his career.

ing teams have a wealth of video and are able
to break down the UK offense. When nothing
is a mystery, Pitino said it helps to have a ard
who can beat defensive players off the dri ble.
“I think Wayne gives us just that," he said.

"IICII ICOPIII

Seven of the 10 Wildcats who saw action
this weekend scored in double figures in at
least one game, allowing UK to average 91
points durin the weekend tourney.

“I think i we can get into an ball game and
get four or five people in dou le fi res that
would take a lot of pressure off us, said Ron
Mercer, the marked—man in the Cats’ offense.
Mercer scored 20 or more points in each of
UK’s tournament games en route to
MVP honors.

VSpeaking of new contributors, Cameron
Mills found a new niche in the UK offense
over the weekend. The former walk-on posted
two double-figure scoring lines, most from
beyond the three—point arc.

“Cameron is a great offensive player." Piti-
no said. “When I see him play offense I smile,
but when I watch him play defense I want to
commit suicide.”

The celebration was relatively subdued fol-
lowing, the Cats’ 95—68 victory over Georgia.
After the all-toumament team was announced,
UK hurried off the floor leaving The Pyra-
mid’s nets intact.

“I would like to have an extra pair in my
room,” Epps said. “But we don't have to cut
the nets down as long as we keep our heads on
straight and keep on winning.”

The crowd at The Pyramid was decidedly
blue, especially for Sunday’s final.

Even Pitino is continually amazed by the
fans' zeal for UK hoops.

“Ninety-live percent of Kentucky fans can‘t

year. They sacrifice and they go without things
just to get here."

no said.

While it was Epps who led the
Cats during the outset of the first
half, it was tournament—Most
Valuable Player RonlMercer who
took control in the second half.

Mercer scored the Cats' first six
points in the second half as UK
went on an 18—5 run to prompt
even the most pessimistic UK fan
to breath easily.

“Ron Mercer shoots off screens
like guys who play 10 years in the
NBA,” Pitino said of his soon-to-
be NBA prospect.

Along with weak shooting,
Georgia had to cope with UK’s
relentless defensive pressure.

The Wildcats forced 24
turnovers, converting them into
42 points. Georgia scored a whop-
pin seven points off of UK’s IZ

(to West, NCAA tells Bats

By 0. Jason Stapleton

Mormons across the Blugglrass
rejoiced as they learned the ild—
cats would be spending the first
and second rounds of the NCAA
Tournament in Salt Lake City.

UK was able to snag a No. 1
seed in the West Region, which
gives them the longest road trip of
the No. ls by far.

“We have to travel a long dis—
tance and if we advance we will
have to face teams that are famil—
iar with our style of play,” said UK
Coach Rick Pitino. “But I am con-
fident in our players and I look
forward to the challenge.”

Challenge is nothing new to
this Wildcat team.

“We have had to face adversity

all season long with the number of
injuries we’ve had," Pitino said.
“Now we will face adversity
again."

By sending UK to the West,
the committee sent a message to
Cat fans that UK was the fourth
best among the No. 1 seeds.

While UK was sent very far
from the Bluegrass, Duke and
North Carolina are loving their
placement — Charlotte and VVin-
ston-Salem, N.C., respectively.

“Our job is to put (teams) in as
close to home as we can without
having a home court for them,”
said Terry Holland, the chair of
the NCAA Division I Tourna-
ment Committee, on CBS’s
“NCAA Tournament Selection
Show.”

The other No. 1 seeds are as

follows:

V Kansas in the Southeast

7 Minnesota in the Midwest

V North Carolina in the Fast

The Cats face the Bi ' Sky
Champion, Montana Grizzlies, in
the first round.

Two other Kentucky teams
made it into this year‘s field of ()4.
Louisville made it in as a No. 6
seed in the liast and will face
UMass in the first round.

Murray State made the tourney
by being crowned Ohio Valley
Conference Champs. The Racers,
however. will have to get by a
tough Duke team in order to
advance in the tournament.

()ther Southeastern Confer-
ence teams to make it in the tour—
nament were Ole Miss, Vander-
bilt, South Carolina and Georgia.

Wisdom found in depths of Pyramid

tournament’s first round
nightcap, something inter-
esting was going on in the
depths of the Pyramid.
LSU head basketball
coach Dale Brown gar-
nered that title for the last
time. After 25 years build-
ing and rebuilding the LSU

down, to step outside the
torrential life ofa Division
I head coach.

It's something most ofus can’t
really assimilate with, really. Sure,
we each have our own difficult
times — situations that tax us to
the limit and force us to consider
our true motivations in life.

But a big-time head basketball
coach is a position wrought with a
heightened level of scrutiny and
uncertainty.

and the soundbites on
television, but little time is
spent truly analyzing the
unique ressures associat-
ed with eing an icon.

And Dale is just that.

A face people reco —
nize. A demeanor peopi
remember, for better or
for worse.

So I sat in the I’yra-
mid’s interview room on

 

to this weathered veteran .
It was a coach, in his last
official coaching appearance, talk~
ing about the core tenets of a
career frequently shrouded in
secrecy.

“I’ll miss what I did today,"
Dale said. “I’ll miss finally seeing
guys etting the message.

“ here’s so much more to
sport than just that court — and I
found that. I thank God that he
directed me to that.”

But so many other people

haven’t.

It’s easy to get caught up in the
fervor of a championship run, or a
big game, or \Vayne Turner's
field goal percentage. But there
really is more to life than these
silly little “battles" that are waged
on the “fields of wood."

And who is the authority on
taking things too seriously? It's
Dale Brown. And though Dale has
enraged Cat fans so many times he
can’t even remember each
instance, the tunnels under the
Pyramid provided a chance for at
least one UK student to ponder
the ma nitude of his thoughts,
rather t an the magnitude of his
ego.

I’m a young writer. It would
quite pretentious to sit here and
analyze how Dale‘s changed, or
consider what he’s done to ro-
mote or hinder this game well all
care so much about. But when a
man whose coached 44 years talks
about erspcctive, I listen.
