‘A nice ring': After 30 years of
service, David Stockham hangs his cap

ay Jill Gorln
NENS EDIYOR

David Stockham. dean of students, will soon be spend-
ing his days teaching his grandchildren how to "puddle—
stomp," eat more ice cream and have the best pillow
fights.

“If I'm training them,“ he said, “that means I get to go
with them.”

Afier 30 years at UK. Dean Stockham will be retiring
in August.

“My time would be up in June (because of UK‘s
mandatory retirement age of 65). but I thought 30 years
had a nice ring to it," he said.

Stockham said UK is a very solid institution.

“Anyone can find things to criticize." he said. “But it
does its work well. It is certainly the number one institu-
tion in Kentucky.“

Before he came to UK, though, he was involved in stu-
dent housing and food service at Eastern Michigan Uni-
versity.

“I was there during the 605, during a time of great

change," he said. “It was a watershed period that shaped
higher education."

During this time, protests against the Vietnam War
and marches for civil rights made the school an interest-
ing place to gain experience.

“The school was four miles from the University of
Michigan, so it was not hard for students to fill up campus
streets,“ he said. “Having students protest was fairly
common You just learn to do your job while dealing with
that."

Stockham said he never felt threatened even though
he had to discuss the issues with students.

“I was learning and trying to be a rookie administra»
tor," he said. “This set the standard for changes.“

The decision to join the staff at UK actually came af-
ter a fellow co-worker at Eastern Michigan University.
Robert Zumwinkle, left for the Bluegrass to become vice
president for student affairs.

Stockham had already completed his bachelor‘s and
master‘s degrees and wanted the opportunity to work and
obtain a doctorate.

“I told him that if Kentucky offered that, to let me
know." he said.

Stockham packed up and came to UK, received his
doctorate and worked part-time under Zumwinkle.

“I never dreamed I would stay here," he said, “but UK
was wonderful."

From the past: After 86 years, Percy 6. Savage can rest somewhere knowing the

government finally sent him a postcard listing l9l4's newest mining publications

By Tracy Kershaw
ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR

Gerri Gerke encountered a little
trouble locating the faculty mailbox for
a certain postcard she found while sort-
ing through the Chemistry department
mail last month.

The addressee, Percy G. Savage,
last had a mailbox in the Chemistry De
partment 86 years ago.

Gerke, who works in the chemistry
department’s administration office, said
the postcard she came across arrived in
the Chemistry-Physics Building mail
just last month, despite being post-
marked in 1914 in Washington. DC.

Barely yellowed and free of any
tears or marks, the postcard has the re
turn address “Department of the Interi-
or Bureau of Mines.” The surprisingly
sturdy postcard lists the October 1914
new mining publications.

“It came through. and I just laid it
aside. I wondered if it was really real."
Gerke said.

Gerke showed her discovery to her
co-worker Nancy Stafford, administra-
tive associate in the chemistry depart-
ment. After looking through the
archives, they found that Savage was an

instructor in the chemistry department
from 1912 until 1914.

“We both were wondering where it
has been all this time." Stafford said.
“There was no explanation, just the
postcard in a little plastic covering."

The postcard’s whereabouts for the
last eight decades also mystifies Phillip
Lykins, customer relations director for
the US. Postal Service in Lexington.

After studying it, Lykins said he
does not think it recently passed
through the Lexington Post Office.
Signs of the postcard’s passage through
modern post offices are not present.

It is missing the over-cancellation
through the old postmarking with the
Lexington stamp and the barcodes Lex-
ington offices use. Lykins said. Any
time the Postal Service encounters a
piece of old mail, they send a cover let-
ter explaining the situation along with
the piece of mail. Gerke said she found
no cover letter with the postcard.

“In today's environment. it didn’t
come through here," Lykins said.

The postage on the card is referred
to as “frank mail," he explained. All
government agencies used the mail ser-
vice but did not pay postage because the
postal service was under a government

department.

“Frank mail" ended in 1971, so the
postcard would require an updated
stamp to have made it though the postal
service today, Lykins said.

Brenda Stamper, manager of the
UK Postal Service, said neither she nor
any of her staff remembers the postcard
coming through the UK Post Office.

Nevertheless, that doesn‘t mean it
didn‘t, Stamper said.

“Our guys who sort have their eyes
trained to just look for the department.
so they might not have noticed it if it
did pass through our hands," Stamper
said.

Sorters wouldn‘t have noticed the
address read “State University of Ky"
instead of University of Kentucky, ei-
ther, Stamper said.

Many pieces of international mail-~-

arrive addressed like that because of
translation difficulties.

She also said to not rule out that it
did not come through the US. Postal
Service.

“Sometimes we receive mail from
the US. Postal Service that has no
postage or cancellation," she said. “So it
is really hard to know for sure where it
came from."

- It came through and Ijust laid it aside. I

Wondered if it was really real.”

Greeks
pitch in
to clean

Delta Tau Delta did it; now _
Greeks want the scene green -

By Liz Garofalo

STAFF WRITER

Lexington will be looking a little clean-
er in the future months. thanks to UK and
a national project.

On April 8, Greek Service Day. an esti~
mated 500 UK students will be participat-
ing in the clean-up efforts. The day falls in
the middle of the Great American Clean
up. a national project to collect pick up
trash and recycleables.

“This is a good day to go out in the
community and give back." said DJ
Tichey. philanthropy chair of the Panhel-
lenic Council. “We are always looking for
ways for Greeks to know about service op-
portunities."

Students participating in Greek Sere
vice Day will either go to a local neighbor-
hood to pick up litter or go to a local park
to help plant trees.

'l‘ichey said last year’s efforts greatly
improved campus and community rela-
tions.

“Last year. we cleaned up around the
campus," said Vanessa Slagle. a history
sophomore and social chair of Alpha ()mi-
cron Pi. “But I think they’re going to make
it a little more exciting this year because a
lot of the fraternities didn't participate."

()ne fraternity, Kappa Sigma. will defi-
nitely be in on the action

“In the past. We have done highway
clean ups.” said Matt Bowling. a business
freshman and member of Kappa Sigma.
“It's excellent that other Greek groups are
pulling together to clean up our area."

(in a broader scale. the Great Ameri-
can (‘lean-up will make a sweep through
several Lexington-area counties from
March 20 through April 29.

“We are trying to raise awareness and
to teach people how to properly dispose of
trash . d litter," said Jonathan Johnson.
region I coordinator of the Great Ameri
can Clean-up.

During the clean-up. volunteers are
needed to help pick up litter in neighbor-
hoods. parks and along roadsides in
Fayette. Scott, Madison and Perry coun~
tics. Last year's efforts resulted in H.000
tons of trash and 260 tons of recyclables be-
ing collected.

There are also programs in local
schools dedicated to cleaning up Lexing»
ton. Students can participate in essay and
poster contests to help raise awareness for
the cleanup. Local companies. such as Lex-
mark and IBM. participate in office recy-
cling efforts like a “clean out your files"
day.

OPEC favors production boost

VIENNA, Austria ulran is seen as the one
major obstacle to reaching an agreement at the
OPEC oil ministers meeting. delaying a consen-
sus could provide some relief to consumers.
Talks will resume on Tuesday. Although Iran ac~
cepts the need for OPEC to increase production.
Iranian Oil Minister Bijan Namdar Zangeneh
feels the amount increased favored by his coun-
try would not be enough to ease the petroleum
prices from a nine-year high. Two other key pro-
ducers in the group. Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.
have proposed a production increase of 1.5 mil-
lion to 1.7 million barrels a day.

debts to state workers. and said a first order of

pay $20 million in punitive damages to a dying

Would-be senators
vow to fight battles

Got vote? Plenty of
ideas among small
field of candidates

By Lamin Swann
STAFF WRITER

Candidates for the senator
at-large seats in the Student
Government Association have
many diverse platforms in their
campaigns.

Take Robin Harris. who
would like to see SGA intro-
duce some new programs and
revive some that have fallen by
the wayside.

“I would like to see some
programs like tax and credit
counseling for students," Har-
ris said.

Other issues on Harris'
platform are to see the parking
situation improved, use of the
revenue from parking citations
used for parking expansion for
students and encouraging stu~
dent organizations that are less
noticeable on campus to fully
utilize the services that the
SGA offers to student organiza-
tions.

Though Harris has been a
student at UK only for a year.
she already feels like it's time
to give back to the university.

“The university has given
me such much in the past year.
I feel I should contribute back
to UK by running for a senator

at-large seat in SGA.“ said Har-
ris. a broadcast journalism
freshman. “Naturally. 1 care
about people and running for a
senator at~large seat will give
me a opportunity to help stu-
dents campus wide if i‘m elect-
ed.“

Edwin Orange, who is run
ning for a second term as a sen-
ator at-large. would like to see
better relations among the dif-
ferent cultures on campus.

“1 would like the university
to offer more cross-cultural
workshops and activities," Or<
ange said. “Living in Jewell
Hall (the international student
dorm), many students among
the minority population on
campus feel underrepresented
and their voice unheard."

Orange would also like to
see academic advising im-
proved for students. the quality
of the Student Center updated
and the student tuition increas—
es repealed.

“The next president elected
for SGA I would like to see fight
extensively to repeal the tuition
hikes," Orange. a political sci»
ence junior. “Personally, I'm
running to make a difference
and be the voice for those who
feel like they‘re unheard.

Those who are elected will
be challenged with many duties
as senators at-large. which in-
clude attending the weekly
SGA meetings and certain com-
mittee meetings as well as hold-
ing two forums during the year.

Tuition can be paid
for by credit card

Charge it: Avoiding long lines will be easier
beginning this summer session under program

By Becky Heisel
CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Students at UK will soon be
able to pay their tuition with
plastic. A system allowing pay-
ment by VISA or MasterCard
through an automated tele-
phone system (UK-VIP) is in its
first stages of being set up.

“We are very excited about
being able to offer this service
to students." said Judy Mar-
shall. assistant vice—chancellor
for administration.

The system is currently un-
dergoing tests to make sure it is
working and should be ready
by May in time for use for the
2000 summer semester, Mar-
shall said.

To use this new service,
UK-VIP requires the student so-
cial security number and PAC
number. just as in registering
for classes.

While these measures help
ensure security, additional
steps have also been taken. Lin-
da Bradford, director of student
billing services. explained that
the system is connected to a

“secure server."

Information taken from a
student’s credit card is encrypt-
ed before it is sent to credit
card processors. Only those
with the encryption code can
view the information. Access to
a student‘s credit card informa~
tion can only be obtained by the
office of Student Billing Ser-
vices.

Ease of payment does come
with a price. Marshall said
there will be a $25 convenience
fee charged for using the new
service.

John Ivey. a civil engineer-
ing sophomore, said he wel-
comed the new system because
it saved waiting in long lines at
Student Billing Services. He
was disappointed in the fee,
though.

“For those who are finan-
cially secure. it is probably the
easiest and simplest way to pay
for their education." Ivey said.

Telecommunications se-
nior Emily Moss said she liked
the idea of using a credit card
to pay tuition because it al.
lowed for paying off the bill a

little at a time, with small inter-
est.

Like Ivey. Moss did not
want to have to pay the addi—
tional $25.

Marshall explained that the
convenience fee goes towards
paying the credit card autho-
rization charges and other
costs.

Some of the money also
goes towards maintenance of
the telephone system used in
the process.

The $25 is based on project-
ed costs of the service. if it
turns out that student billing
services is making too much.
the fee will be lowered. Mar-
shall added.

Various other schools, such
as the University of Kansas. the
University of North Carolina
and Murray State University.
already offer their students the
option to pay tuition by credit
card. Marshall said.

Now UK will soon be fol-
lowing suit.

“Many students and par-
ents have requested this ser-
vice. and we‘re glad to be able
to provide it." Marshall said.

A protester tries to hand flowers to a Seattle police officer during a demonstration at a downtown Seattle McDonald's. Protesters descended upon
the Pacific Northwest city when the World Trade Organization, symbolic target of human rights and environmental activists, came to town.

Riots and flowers: IMF and
World Bank meetings in DC.
likely to be Seattle repeat

By Andy Sullivan
MEDILL NEWS SERVICE

WASHINGTON
in Seattle: The Sequel.

It's not a pro wrestling match. or a
summer blockbuster film. It‘s a week of
demonstrations timed to coincide with the
meetings of the International Monetary
Fund and the World Bank here on April It;
and 17. Thousands of protesters from all
over the country are expected to converge
here. hoping to shut down meetings of the
two international organizations that they
say represent corporate interests at the ex-
pense of working people.

The demonstrations promise to be sini-
ilar in strategy and tone to the one that
took place last December in Seattle. when
an estimated 50.000 protesters blocked a
meeting of the World Trade Organization.
In fact. organi7ers say that the success of
the Scattie demonstration has gotten more

people interested in protesting the effects of
free trade and globaI economics.

"There are tons of people who were ex
tremely [upset] they didn‘t make it to Seat-
tle. 'I‘hey‘II make it to I).(‘.." said Tom Mo
(‘arthy. 2:3. a community activist who flew
out from Seattle to help organize the IMF
protests.

McCarthy spoke to a group of about 15
high school and college students who met
Vl'ednesday night at the University of the
District of (‘olumbia to discuss logistical is-
sues and ways to stir up interest among
their peers.

McCarthy enthusiastically described
the success of the Seattle protests. and
brought souvenirs to pass around: a rubber
bullet. goggles. a bandanna. work gloves for
handling pipinghot tear-gas canisters.

“In Seattle. we changed world history.
We could do it again in a month." he said.

But in order to "change world history.”
he and other student organizers have to
round up a crowd. While careful to avoid
characterizing their fellow students as apa~
thetic. many said that they have had diffi»
culty getting people interested.

“Really what we‘re up against is iner
tia we‘ve been told for so long that we
don't care. I’eopIe don't know what

[protesting] is. they associate it with the
'60s." said tiabe Shalom. 17. a student at
Quince ()rchard High School in Gaithers-
burg. Md.

The solution. many agreed. is a combi-
nation of educational "teach-ins" and good.
old-fashioned hype.

“It's like advertising we're trying to
create buzz." Shalom said. “We‘re trying to
sell the IMF protests. The more you can
convince people that swarms of people are
coming. the more you‘ll get people to
come.”

Shalom was trying to round up musi-
cians for a “(‘haos Marching Band" to play
at the protest. "We will not allow the global
capitalists to meet without hearing the bat-
tIesong of the revolution!" his flyer read.

Like the W'I‘t). the IMF and the World
Bank are convenient targets for people con!
cerned about a wide range of issues.

"When you learn about what's going on
in other countries and how much control
the World Bank and the IMF have. it's such
a common-sense issue." said Katie Adam-
stilt. a Buyear-old intern with Common
(‘ause. a Washington advocacy group.
“Young people are growing tip less nation—
alistic. To see other humans suffering
is enough."

Wisconsin? North Caroli-
na? Either these schools are
suffering from a severe case of
chip-on-the-shoulder. or they’re
playing their best basketball at
the right time.

Both of these underdogs are
finally playing like champions
after suffering through a season
of malcontent (North Carolina)
or mediocrity (Wisconsin).
Both were members of the No. 8
seed designation. reserved for
those at-large teams who almost
didn't deserve to be in the t
