UK, Others holding protests today

By Kathy W. Larkln
Staff Writer

University students across Ken-
tucky will attempt to capture the
Council on Higher Education’s at-
tention today.

In the hope that a collective voice
may be heard in the continuing
ﬁght against funher tuition increas-
es. each state campus will stage its
own form of rally.

The CHE staff recommended an
11.2 percent increase for undergrad-
uate in-state tuition last week. The
council plans to meet Monday to
consider the recommendation. If ac-
cepted. UK‘s in-state tuition will in-
crease from $980 to $1.090 a se-
mester.

Each university has made its own
plans as to how the protest will be

staged Times will also vary.

UK will hold a rally from noon to
2 pm. today on the lawn in front of
the Administration Building.

“We anticipate around 1.000
(participants) if the weather is
good." said Greg T. Watkins. Stu-
dent Government Association Col-
lege of Business and Economics
senator.

In case of inclement weather, the
rally will move to the Grand Ball-
room in the Old Student Center.

Several speakers will be on hand.
Watkins said. including Secretary
of State Bob Babbage; State Sena-
tor Tom Buford. R-Nicholasville;
chairman of the University Senate
Dan Fulks; and Gerald Coleman.
president of the Black Student Un-
ion.

Also. Lexmark‘s larg-

"It‘s sort of a natural." Baesler
said of Clinton's visit. “This dis-
trict has been attuned to intcma-
tional business for some time."

Kentucky already beneﬁts strong-
ly from trade with Mexico. said
Baesler. who as mayor of Lexing-
ton helped establish the Kentucky
World Trade Center.

Kentucky ranks 10th among the
50 states and ﬁrst among the South
Central states in
growth of ex-
ports to Mexico
from 1987 to
1992. he said. In
addition:

—Merchandisc
" exports from
Kentucky to
Mexico grew
more than 350
percent from
1987 to 1992. ris—
ing from $43 mil-
lion to $198 mil-
lion. Kentucky
was one of 13
states that more
than quadrupled
their exports to
Mexico during
those ﬁve years.

About 4.300 jobs in
Kentucky in 1992
were supported by exports to Mexi-
co. More than 70 percent of those
jobs were created in the last ﬁve
years. since Mexico began liberaliz-
ing its import regulations.

Baesler said he understands peo-

Liebman declined to comment on ‘plc‘s fears about losing jobs to

Clinton's visit.

Baesler said there is still a long
way to go before NAFTA passes.
“My guess. we're 15 or 20 short“
of the 218 votes needed in the
House. he said.

“But I think the momentum is
swinging.“ he said.

The House is scheduled to vote
on NAFTA on Nov. 17.

Mexico and acknowledged that
some jobs will be lost But those
fears will exist even without NAF-
TA. he said.

"They‘re going there today. and
we don‘t have NAFTA." he said of
jobs.

“Why not take down the barriers
so we can receive some of the bene-
ﬁts?"

vitation to every senator and legis-
lator in the state of Kentucky and to
all the Council on Higher Education
members." Watkins said.

Watkins and SGA president
Lance Dowdy also hand~delivered
letters to the governor and lieuten-
ant governor while in Frankfort on
Monday. he said.

Rally organizers plan to have
booths set up so that students can
sign petitions against tuition in-
creases.

“Basically. we want to show the
Council on Higher Education we
are informed students and we do
care about what they do." Watkins
said.

Students at Murray State Univer-
sity plan to stage a sit-in between
ll am. and 1 pm. today. said Brian
Van Horn. Murray State University

SGA president.

Although no classes will be can-
celled. Murray‘s faculty has agreed
to excuse those students for a brief
time who may be in classes during
the informal sit—in. Van Horn said.
He projected that as many as 800
students could be present.

The message will be simple: “We
don‘t feel our tuition should be in-
creased." Van Horn said.

C.C. Milam. president of the Pa-
ducah Community College student
senate. said that her campus plans
to begin its student rally at 10 am.
in the campus amphitheater. Milam
said because a large number of Pa-
ducah students are non-traditional
the rally has special signiﬁcance.

“A lot of students have to make a
choice between their families and
their education," she said.

Donald Smith. Associated Stu-
dent Govemment vice chairman at
Western Kentucky University. said
his organization plans a free chili
supper beginning at 8 tonight. The
group also plans a step show. guest
speakers and a band.

“We‘ve made 100 picket signs.

A few students may attempt a

Sen. Mike Moloney abruptly left
Monday's meeting in disgust after
discussion focused on closing
UK‘s dental school. He later an-
nounced his resignation from the
commission. citing his disappoval
of the group's procedures and its
inaction. Yesterday. he expressed
serious doubts about the future of
the commission. which must sub-
mit a report by Dec. 21.

is that if they involve legislative en-

Moloney said he‘s upset because
he thinks university presidents and
board chairmen have been given no
input on the commission. Instead.
recommendations have been made
by the state (‘ouncil on Higher I-Idu-
cation staff and forwarded to the
group. he said.

The chairman of the powerful
Senate Appropriations and Revenue
Committee. Moloney always has
described himself as an advocate
for higher education. But he said he
would have a “difﬁcult time accept-
ing the commission‘s recommenda-
tions for the simple reason that they
will be coming from the council

staff.“

(‘IIE chairman James Miller was
disappointed with Moloney‘s re-
marks.

“I think the committee is going
to do something." Miller said.
“Once we have done so. I hope
Sen. Moloney would reconsider his
position. He's always been a friend
of higher education. and we‘re try-
ing to ﬁx higher education."

Jones appointed the commission
in early August. Through three
meetings. no major decisions haxc
been reached. Some members say
they are concerned the commission
has moved too slowly and has only
48 days left.

“We’re just wandering in the
woods right now." said Marshall
long. chairman of the House Ap-
propriations and Revenue Commit-
tee. “lt‘s going to be very difﬁcult
to get a whole lot accomplished."

“I‘m sue we won‘t get every-
thing done that we want to." Miller
said.

president Thomas Meredith said the
presidents‘ input has been “rather
limited" the ﬁrst three meetings but
should improve.

"All of us have been anxious to
get going." he said. “(On Mondayi
we kind of ﬁnally took flight I’ntil
then we had been uixung."

UK Board of Trustees chainnan
lidward T. "Ned" Breathttt. who
was unable to attend Monday. said
everyone needs to “work together
to am» e at the mandate of the com-
mission."

Moloney said he thinks it's too
late for the commrssron to be effec-

tive because “there‘s no leader-
ship."
But members disagree.

“I would think if Sen. Moloney
was against it. it would probably be
difﬁcult to pass any of our recom-
mendations." said bong. D-
Shclbyvillc. “But there's still time

set in concrete; we're going with
the ﬂow."

“We were going to have some-
thing structured. ” he said. “but we
thought that would take away the
essence of a protest. So we thought
we‘d let the students talk."

However. it could be too late.
state Rep. Harry Moberly Jr., D-
Richmond, said.

“It‘s pretty certain there will be
some increase just because of the
economic conditions we ﬁnd our-
selves in," Moberly said.

He conceded that students are
ﬁghting an uphill battle and said
that the lack of availability of new
funding makes raising tuition nec-
essary. He said it still is possible
that student activity “may mitigate
the amount of the raise."

Chancellor
asks colleges
to send back
some funds

By Rob Thorne
Staff Writer

Chancellor for the UK Campus
Robert Hemenway has asked UK
colleges to defer .5 percent of their
funds for 1993-94 back to the Uni-
versity's general fund. ofﬁcials said
yesterday.

“The idea is to bring funds in for
the beneﬁt of the entire campus."
said Jim Chapmon. Lexington cam-
pus budget director.

The reallocation of funds is non
teeming and will be used for non-
recrming purposes. Chapmon said.

The renovation of buildings and
the purchase of new computers are
a few examples Chapmon cited as
possibilities for the money. He
stressed that the money would go
toward things that had to be paid
for only once.

Chapmon said that while this re-
allocation should be a one-time
deal. a tax of about 1 percent was
imposed regularly by the chancellor
during the 19805.

When Hemenway took over as
chancellor in 1989. he had a recur-
n'ng transfer of funds. That recur-
ring reallocation was stopped when
budget cuts hit the University hard
two years ago.

Richard Edwards. dean of Col-
lege of Ans and Sciences. said he
believes the tax is necessary be-
cause the 2 percent budget cut was
absorbed mostly at the chancellor's
and president's levels.

“We to be more in the business of
setting campuswide priorities.“ I-d
wards said.

Chapmon says that while deans
of the colleges probably would like
to have control over the money. he
believes “their heart‘s behind it.“

“Nobody likes to have their bud-
get cut.“ said Richard Furst. dean of
the College of Business and Eco-
nomics. But Furst added he bad
faith that Hemenway would put the
money to good use.

Edwards said he supports the tax
but regrets having to make the deci-
sion of where to cut the arts and sci—
ences budget.

Both Edwards and Furst said
there would be no cutbacks in cur-
riculum.

"We're just going to have to
tighten our belts a little." Furst said.

Furst said that the tax would re-
sult in cuts in the administrative
budget of business and economics.

Edwards said ans and sciences
would look at a number of ways to
streamline its budget. but that all
necessary classes would be offered.

The reallocation ﬁrst was pro-
posed to the deans in September.
Hemenway fornnlly requeswd the
realloatiar last month. The deans
leave until Dec. 31 to transfer the
funds.

Clwmon stressed that while the
funds are passed from the colleges
to the chancellor's ofﬁce. the men-
ey still will go to help the colleges.

Conning his fibula to a bowl game?

By Brant Wolch
Senior Staff Writer

Just when everything seemed to
be going his way, everything came
to an abrupt halt Darryl Conn was
only in for six plays against Geor-
gia, in which he had already record-
ed four tackles, before he fractured
the ﬁbula in his right leg.

His season and football career at
UK was presumed to be over be-
cause he is a senior and has already
played too many minutes to be eli-
gible for a redshirt season.

It's a sad situation bemuse he
had worked hard and had become
the starting outside linebacker in
UK's fourth game of the season. He
forced a key fumble against South
Carolina late in the game to pre-
serve a UK victory that arguably
turned the Wildcats‘ season around.
After playing some of the best foot-
ball of his life and when UK is on
the verge of having a breakthrough
season. his career ended.

Or did it?

SPORTS

“I expect to play in the bowl
game." Conn said.

Say what? After your leg looked
like it would literally fall onto the
Sanford Stadium Field two Satur-
days ago? After having four screws
put in your ankle? It‘s a comeback
Bo Jackson would be envious of.

“Yes," Conn said. “It's all in
your mind. If you visualize that you
will be back. good things will hap-
pen. It really depends on how fast it
heals. It was too late to redshirt. sol
am in rehabilitation trying to play in
the bowl game."

UK trainer Al Green said there’s
a chance Conn could return.

“It's too soon to tell but there is
the possibility he could be back."
Green said. “We'll keep a good.
watchful eye on him and make sure
he doesn't try to come back too
quickly."

The linebacking unit could use
his help. Conn's backup and former
starter David Snardon also went
down in the Georgia game. which
has left third-suing linebacker

Steve Berry as the staner. Green
says that Snardon should be able to
play again this season.

“David could be back by the Ten-
nessee game," Green said. “He‘ll
definitely be back for the bowl
game."

Conn got the starting nod from
UK defensive coordinator Mike
Archer tor a number of reasons.

“While Darryl was in the Indiana
game he played extremely well. So
I felt he was playing better than Da-
vid. and he deserved the opportuni-
ty to start," Archer said. “Since then
he started and played well. He add—
ed something to our defense from
an enthusiasm standpoint and from
art ability to make a lot of plays.

“He was extremely active during
the snaps. He was in there and be-
ing involved. He did a good job in
our pass coverage. He enabled us to
do a lot more from a man-to-man
coverage standpoint.“

Conn had equally high praise for
Archer. who he said had a lot to do
with his improved play this season.

Cats bowl hopes Peachy

Ty Halpin

Yesterday, I was riding the bus to
the Chemistry-Physics Building and
overheard two students talking
about events on campus. In years
past. people usually are talking bas-
ketball this late in the semester.

Not this year.

“So what do you think, Peach or
(‘ar Quest?" one student asked.

The reply was amazing. consider-
ing UK‘s lack of success in the past
couple of years.

“1 think they’ve got the Peach
wrapped up."

The only thing wrapped up with
UK football in this decade has been
fans on cold nights and Wildcat
running backs behind the line of
scrimmage. Now they‘re wrapping
up bowl bids like Christmas
presents?

I'm not going to say the football
team is on everyone's mind. but
these Cats have deﬁnitely kept peo-
ple's attention. And why shouldn't
they?

They are the surprise team in the

Staff reports

A student ticket lottery for the
UK-Indiana basketball game will
be held today at Memorial Coli-
scum. Director of Administrative
Services Rodney Stiles said yester-
day.

The doors will open at 6 pm. to-
morrow and will close at 6:15 pm.
Stiles said. The lottery will be the
same format as last season's, with
everyone having an equal chance
for best seating. Stiles said there is
no advantage to arriving early.

Stiles stressed that students will
have to pay for their tickets. which
are $20 each. The ticket office will
accept Visa. MasterCard. personal
checks or cash.

The game will be Dec. 5 at the
Hoosier Dome in Indianapolis.

Southeastem Conference. No one
picked them anywhere near the
Tennessees and Floritlas.

Their successes show that coach
Bill Curry's system does work. To
him, hard work eventually equals
wins. Sure. it took four years. but
rebuilding a program takes time.

Luckily for Curry. Athletics Di-
rector C.M. Newton stood behind
the former Alabama coach. Some
coaches are given a very short leash
when taking over a program.

Earlier this year, I couldn‘t figure
out these Cats. After the hezmbreak-
er to lilorida (a game no one expect-
ed to be that close). UK went to In-
diana and played one of the worst
games in Curry's tenure.

Then. after most people wrote
them off. the Wildcats played ﬁve
days later and came from behind to
defeat South Carolina.

That win set off a string of three
SEC wins and should lead to a bowl
berth. After the Cats beat Vander-
bilt this weekend (they will if they
play anywhere near their capabil-
ities) and East Carolina (ditto). you
probably should make your reserva-
tions for Atlanta

The only other scenario (assum-
ing the Wildcats beat Vandy and
East Carolina) would call for UK's
defeating Tennessee. giving the
Cats the Gator Bowl.

Throughout the season. one thing
has been constant in the interview
room. From quarterback Pookie
Jones down to the guy who takes

(‘ats think they‘ll win every game.

To show just how far the Wild-
cats have come since Indiana. the
game at Mississippi State was
something new for the (Tats. They
had a big lead and obviously didn‘t
handle. it very well. Finding fault
with this is like an orphan hating
his new parents because they don't
get him anything he wants.

Allowing Mississippi State even
near UK was wrong, but it came
from inexperience. Heck. they still
won the game didn‘t they? The
players weren‘t happy with their
performance in the second half. so
that should be good enough.

The UK crowd should be as rau-
cous as ever for the Tennessee
game. If the Cats want to win. they
are going to need some big-time fan
support. After the Georgia game.
Jones said UK‘s crowd was “get-
ting there."

A couple of easy things fans and
UK should do:

-Fans should stand up and yell a
lot. even if they‘re not drunk.

-UK should do something a little
wild. like painting the ﬁeld blue or
putting in some kind of special item
(like hedges) that could become
Commonwealth Stadium‘s trade-
mark. Does Commonwealth have
anything cool about it as it is now?
I didn't think so.
