Everyone
has a place
on campus

Tyrone Beason
Editor in Chief

There‘s something big about UK.

Some would say it's the forbod-
ing expanse of the Lexington cam-
pus and the cavernous classrooms
that most freshmen have to endure.

Or it could be the opportunities.

At a university with an enroll-
ment greater than the population of
most cities in Kentucky — 24,000
—- the chances of encountering an
entirely unique individual or situa-
tion are tremendous.

UK doesn‘t stand out only be-
cause of its size. it stands out be-
cause ot' the people who choose to
study and work here —— people who
view the university experience as
more than a four-year means to an
end. but as the last great growth
process before the world at large
comes charging in.

The University itself appears to
be transforming into a garden for
this growth — slowly.

(‘hange is not a painless process.

One of the sore spots is racial di-
versity.

In the fall about 1,000 black stu-
dents and about twice as many in-
ternational students will come to
UK. That represents a small portion
of the student body. Yet it is a
source of major conflict at times.

The conﬂicts do not arise because
the predominantly white student
body expresses hatred or even dis-
like toward others. Likewise, the ra-
cial and ethnic minorities on cam-
pus do not express general hatred
for the white students.

This is not a matter of open con-
ﬂict as much as it is a matter of psy-
chological conflict.

Once students leave the academic
buildings or eating areas they no
longer will be “students" in the
most general sense. They will be
come individuals — individuals
who are deﬁned by every aspect of
their cultural and/or racial makeup.

To see a person in this manner is
to see him or her completely. Often,
the classroom does not allow for
i that kind of recognition.

At some point. however, it must.

UK‘s leadership, if its mission of
integrating the campus and encour-
aging a sense of community is to be
met. should keep in mind that stu-
dents come here with a variety of
social perspectives and assumptions
about others.

Many of these assumptions turn
out to be ill—informed.

And it is a tragedy when a student
spends several years here only to
graduate as narrowly experienced as
when he or she arrived.

Sadly, this happens quite often.

Books contain a wealth of infor-
mation on the whats, hows and
wheres of life.

But the world is not a book.

A university is not sprawling
classroom buildings, lush lawns and
residence halls.

A university is people. and no
form of higher education can be
complete without a greater aware-
ness and appreciation for human
difference. People hate not because
they simply dislike but because they
don‘tknow.

- There may never be a greater op-
portunity to connect with people
from other backgrounds than the
four (or ﬁve, more than likely)
years spent in college.

When you arrive on campus this
summer for the advising conference
and for Fall Orientation at the be-
ginning of semester. take a good
look around.

Perhaps, go to the top floor of
Kirwan or Blanding tower to in-
spect the view of campus and Lex-
ington.

Then think about all of the differ-
ent people who will inhabit that
vast, beautiful landscape.

From the view above campus.
UK may seem big enough already.
But there is plenty of man for you.

The sprawling UK campus, as viewed from the top of Blanding Tower, might seem imposing, but the University is home to a wide range of social, cultural and

Changes may make
FRC more effective

By Lance Williams
News Editor

In the past few years, UK‘s Stu-
dent Government Association has
had a reputation on czunpus for be-
ing out of touch with the average
student, but this year‘s administra-
tion hopes to bring about a change
that begins With this fall‘s freshman
class.

The first step will be to r'et‘onn
the freshman branch of StiA. 'l'he
Freshmen Representative l‘ouneil.
which includes 25 riiernbers of the
freshman class, has undergone sev-
eral changes for the tall semester.
and SGA leaders say they hope the
revzunping will make I Rt‘ more ef—
fective for freshman on c impus

"We wanted to giy e more .ttitono~
my for the group with Sti.\. and we
wtuited to give them more free—
dorn." said Evan Reynolds. exeeu~
live director of Academic Affairs
for SUA.

"I have talked to past members of
the group. and the biggest coma
plaint I heard was that they felt like
they didn't get to represent every—
one (in the freshnuur classi." SGA

president Lance Dowdy said.

To combat that problem, plans
are being put into place for the
group to hold freshman forums that
will allow FRC to meet with stu-
dents across campus to tind out
what problems freshmen are having
at UK and what can be done to help
solve the problems

"The biggest problem with for-
ums in the past is that it has been
SGA saying, "this is how it is. and
this is what you want.’ " Dowdy
said.

Dowdy said this year‘s SGA will
be a body that helps everyone and
that FRC will let freshmen “have an
ear to hear them."

“We want to hold these forums to
give freshmen a chance to gripe,"
Reynolds said.

This year‘s Student Center food
will be ﬁnger lickin' good.

KFC —fomierly Kentucky Fried
Chicken — will open in the Student
Center next year. bringing Lake
Edna to Lexington and expanding
selections customers can choose
from.

“We certainly hope to have it
ready by the opening of school,"
UK Vice Chancellor of Administra-
tion Jack Blanton said.

UK had hoped to open a KFC in
the 1993 spring semester. but con-
tract details slowed the process. The
project began last fall when Food
Services Director Robert Braun an-
nounced UK‘s intentions.

Blanton said the possibility re-
mains for more outside franchises
to peddle their goods in UK's cen-
tral eating location.

“We've been dealing with three
vendors,“ he said. “There are con-
tracts out for all of them. We are
waiting for them to be returned."

No services will be taken out of
the Student Center's foodlirie to
make room for the franchises, Blan-
ton said.

"We won't be replacing any one
area. What there will be are coun-
ters with the companies logo and
preparation facilities.”

Currently, UK Food Services of-

Blanton said.

“It will be just like another part of

They don‘t have to pay cash."

ing made for a new food center on

Blanton said the move to outside

Hopefully, we are making the meal

Summer advising conferences
give freshmen ﬁrst dose of UK

By Lance Williams
News Editor

The road to a college degree
takes many hours of hard work.
dedication. discipline and good
planning. The University registrar‘s
ofﬁce hopes to give students the
sound advice they need to plan for
successful college careers.

That is the reasoning behind the
Summer Advising Conferences.
which begin June 21 and come to a
ﬁnish near the end of July.

Students may select either a one-
or thy advising conference.
Both give an overview of services
offered at UK and allow students to

leave the session “with a complete
schedule for the fall," University
Registrar Randall Dahl said.

Students also will have their Di-
nerCards and student ID cards
made during their summer advising
visits.

However, if students chose to at-
tend one of the six two-day confer-
ences, they are allowed to spend the
night in a UK residence hall.

Two-day sessions begin June 21
and run for three weeks. One-day
conferences begin the ﬁrst week of
July. Special days will be set aside
for transfer student advising confer-
ences.

The main function of the summer

sessions is to give students a chance
to sign up for classes they will take
during the fall semester. During
their advising conferences, students
wiu meet with advisers from their
respective colleges.

These advisers will help the stu-
dents begin their academic careers
at UK by assisting the students in
selecting the classes they need from
the thousands offered at the Univer-
sity.

Also during the advising ses—
sions, students are divided into
small groups to learn more about
the campus through tours and other
activities.

Renovations in residence halls funded
by $2.8 million loan from government

By Lance Williams
News Editor

Higher education will be just that
in the 1993-94 academic year be-
cause of increased fees, but students
should see those extra dollars put to
good use around campus.

The UK Board of Trustees voted
to raise University housing rates by
$122 over last year's fees. Included
in that agreement was an increase in
the minimum deposit in the Diner-
Card charge and a 572 increase to
cover higher personnel costs, in-
creased utility costs and higher debt
service.

University apartment fees will in-
crease only slightly from the 1992-
93 rates. The increases range from
$8 a month in the efﬁciency apart-
ments to $14 a month in the two-

bedroom Greg Page Stadium View
Family Apartments.

To accompany the increased
costs. students will notice an in-
creased focus on campus residence
hall safety and usefulness. Begin-
ning in the fall. Kirwan II will be
known as the Wellness Hall and
will serve residents with special
equipment, programming and in-
struction that allow students to live
in a healthy environment.

During the summer, campus resi-
dence hall electrical cirCUits will be
ﬁxed so that they can handle heavi-
er loads when students anive on
campus.

This means that students now
may bring microwaves — legally
—- and use them in their residence
hall rooms. “The policy of not al-
lowing microwaves is going to
evaporate," said Bob Clay, director

of Residence Life.

In addition to being allowed to
bring microwaves, students may be
able to rent combination micro-
wave/refrigerators from UK's Resi-
dence Hall Association.

Other additions include the instal-
lation of security systems in the res-
idence halls.

Haggin and Donovan halls al-
ready have security systems that re-

Many students visit the Martin Luther King Jr. Cultural Center to study or talk with friends.
The center also sponsors lectures, displays art and holds forums on racial awareness.

King Center, Learning Services
offer support for black students

By Tyrone Beason
Editor in Chief

To remain culturally grounded
is a common challenge that re-
quires uncommon fortitude.

There are no guarantees at a
large. predominantly white uni-
versity that a niche has been
carved for all racial or ethnic
needs.

Black students at UK can
boast about such a niche —— al-
beit with some trepidation.

“There’s no doubt that there's
a great deal of work to be done
— work that must be endorsed
by every member of this institu-
tion," said Chester Grundy, di-
rector of the Ofﬁce of Minority
Affairs.

Still, he said, UK's Martin Lu-
ther King Jr. Cultural Center is a
solid start.

The Cultural Center, located
in 124 Student Center, is at once
a resource facility. an art gal-
lery, a lecture hall and a campus
home base for black students.

The only limits to this black
culture zone are its walls; the cen-
ter is fairly small.

But don’t be fooled by its size,
Grundy said, for the center pro-
vides a wealth of service to the
University. “What we know is
that oftentimes the determining
factors for whether or not Afri-
can-American students are suc-
cessful aren‘t the skills they bring
but a lot of intangible factors. One
very important factor is how hos-
pitable they view the campus."

Grundy said the Cultural Center
is a concrete expression of the
positivity in the black community.
It gives black students a sense of
“possibility.”

“For black students, (the center)
is essential, and it‘s almost to the
point where it should be mandat-
ed," said Thomas Aaron, who is
fulﬁlling the duties of Cultural
Center director temporarily.
“We’re here to give students the
opportunity to share in the vast
richness of African-American so—
ciety.

“The University says it’s sup-

posed to be a place to nurture
spirit, knowledge and wisdom. If
that's the case, then the Cultural
Center is ahead of its time as far
as universities go."

The Cultural Center may be an
expression of one culture, but its
mission is not, by any means. to
alienate representatives of other
races, Aaron said.

Everyone is welcome.

Another facility dedicated to
the success of black students is
the Minority Learning Services
Center, 660 S. Limestone St.

Independent of the Cultural
Center, Learning Services pro-
vides various forms of academic
and personal support, such as tu-
toring and peer counseling.

“It‘s a place where people can
feel comfortable coming to," said
Toni Thomas, director of Leam-
ing Services.

The Leaming Services Center
has a computer room, study area
and two counselors on hand to
help students during the schml
year.

Between classes and studying,
new students might ﬁnd plenty of
free time on their hands.
