low enrollments

By’Jenniier Smith
Staff Writer
Officials blame increased

tuition and decreased state
funding for the enrollment
decline reported by the 14 UK
community colleges this year.

Initial figures estimate this
year’s enrollment is 46,200,
compared to the 48,000 projec-
tion from last ear. Enrollment
has declined or the first time
since fall 1984.

This is thefourth drop in
enrollment since the mid-
19705, said Ben Carr, Chancel—
lor for the Community College
System.

One of the main reasons
Carr cited for the enrollment
decline is a decrease in funding.
The budget cuts have caused
many program shifts within the
Community Colle e System.

“I think the udget cuts
have affected the community
colleges the most,” said UK
President Charles Wethington,
who added he sympathizes with
the plight of the system.

Also, Carr said the budget
cuts have meant fewer teachers
and fewer specialized courses.

“The cuts have meant we
cannot employ as many staff to
serve the students,” Carr said.

The training programs
within the system also have felt
the pinch.

“We’re not able to provide
enough training for business
and industry,” he said.

Another factor being

blamed for the drop in enroll-
ment is the current statewide
economic boost. Carr said this
increase has 0 ened the avail-
able job mar et and caused
many community colle e stu—
dents to return to worE or to
work overtime.

Carr also said the communi-
ty colleges are finally feeling
t e effect of the 34 ercent
tuition increase over t e past
two years.

Locally, on Lexington
Community College’s campus,
according to preliminary fig—
ures, enrollment decreased 1
percent this year.

Acting Dean for Academic
Affairs Eunice Beatty said this
is the first LCC enrollment
decline in five years. The col-
lege reports 5,001 students this
semester in comparison with
5,062 last semester.

Beatty also attributed LCC’s
decreased enrollment to bud-
get cuts.

“We could have offered
more classes and even added
classes with some kind of base
funding,” she said. “The bud-
get cuts have hurt us a lot.”

Carr said enrollment at
community colleges around the
country has increased this year
because of their states’ support.

Carr said he hopes to see the
enrollments in Kentucky
increase again next year in the
communi colleges.

“I thin we will gradually
see (enrollment) come back up
again,” he said.

The Student Government
Association’s tutoring service is
looking for qualified students to
tutor in varied subjects such as
biology, chemistry and English.

The deadline for returning
tutor applications is next week.
The tutoring service ' coordinat-
ed by Brandon McGrtasth, a biolo-
gy senior.

McGrath, who was unanimous-
l elected as coordinator Wednes-
(iity night by the SGA Senate, is
“looking for peo le who commu-
nicate well an have a good
knowledge of their subject area.”

The main goal of tutoring is to
offer alternatives to expensive pri-
vate services or to dropping out of
class, McGrath said.

Although most tutors are stu-
dents with degrees, a degree is not
necessary.

“If we feel comfortable with

them in the interview, that’s the
people we’re looking for because
they’re going to have to communi-
cate with people who are having
trouble,” McGrath said.

Tutoring Services was allotted
$12,000 b Senate to help fund
the $6-an- our wage tutors earn.

“If their rofessor can’t help
them, they’lfhave a place to go
where they can get help,”
McGrath said.

Besides a source of income,
McGrath said, the service will give
tutors teaching skills and experi-
ence.

McGrath has received 30 a pli-
cations for tutors this fall, own
from 40 this summer. With more
than 70 students applyin for
instruction, tutors are neederi

Improvements for this semester
give tutors the chance to teach two
extra hours a week to each student,
increasing the maximum amount
to five hours. This change will
give the student more hours of

l SBA searching tor tutors

instruction per week, and the
instructor increased wages,
McGrath said.

Flexible scheduling also will
accommodate students and tutors
with unusual hours or other spe-
cial needs, McGrath said.

Stephanie Collins, a communi-_
cation and S anish senior, said she
gained goo teachin experience
while tutoring Spanis in the sum—
mer.

“Tutoring is good on my
resume,” Collins said. “It’s some-
thing different that shows extra
incentive.”

Collins said she enjoyed
spreading her enthusiasm about
Spanish and hopes everyone with
something to offer will look into
becoming a tutor.

“I hope I can do it again this
semester,” she said.

If you are interested in being a
tutor or if you need a tutor, infor—
mation is available in 120 Student
Center.

Fall rush numbers decrease

Ofiicials my cost

may be a reason

By Tittany Gilmarttn
Contributing Writer

Rush figures represent an aver-
age year for greeks. Sorority rush
fell back to average numbers after
a stellar rush last year, while the
fraternities had mixed results in
their rush.

Pled e numbers for fraternities
varied mm a high of 41 to a low
of 18 for chapters.

Fraternities are not driven by
the uota system, so membership
num ers can depend much on the
organizations.

About 1,500 men are greek at
UK including the estimated 500
new members acquired at fall
rush, said Jay McCoy, assistant
dean of students.

UK also welcomed two new
fraternities — Delta Sigma Phi

and Triangle —~ to campus this
semester.

While Delta Sigma Phi is a
social fraternity, Triangle is a fra-
ternity in the engineering and
hard sciences vein.

Mike Reilly, rush chairman for
the Intrafraternity Council, said
“early numbers of rush are either
up or comparable with past years.”

Along with the typical rush par-
ties, this year’s rush included a
series of alcohol awareness talks
and forums, including a model
party that followed risk manage-
ment policies.

Sorority rush placed 437 girls
out of 606 who started the rush
week. High attrition rates were
attributed to allowing sorority
rushees to move on to campus ear-
lier than the rest of students.

“Some people may have rushed
just to move in early,” Panhellenic
presidentjulie Adkins said.

“While registrations were up
this year, 20 people withdrew after
the first party.”

Eleven of the 13 social sorori—
ties fulfilled their new member
quota. The remaining two chap-
ters will continue to hold open
rush throughout the year. -

Twelve to 14 percent of the
female population, or about 1,440
females are greek at UK

Finances have been noted as a
reason for the decline in greek
interest over the past few years.

The average cost for an out-of-
house pledgin semester ranges
from $450 to £775 versus an in-
house pledging semester of $1,525
to $2,090, depending on the chap-
ter.

Finances are equally important
for fraternities, whose costs are
com arable to sororities’, averag-
ing 404 per semester and $1,415
to live in the fraternity house.

Those interested in joining
either Delta Sigma Phi, Triangle
or the two sororities with 0 en
spots can contact the greek affairs
office at 5 75 Patterson Office

Comic books not just for kids

Genre’s popularity continues
to grow with on older audience

By Stacy Coontz
Contributing Writer

Welcome to a world inhabited
by magic beings, immortals and
ordina humans caught in
extraordinary situations.

This is a place where the battle
of Good and Evil still rages and
very few things are as the seem.

Welcome to the worl of comic
books.

While the words tend to bring
images of the antics of Dennis the
Menace and Archie the reality is
startlingly different.

Comic books have been geared
toward adults for years, but only
recently has the focus seemed to
change.

“They’ve been opular for a
long time, especially on campus—
es,” said Todd Harmon of The
Comic Connection.

He attributes the rise in
demand to “aggressive campaign-
ing” by Marvel and DC comics,
the two largest comic companies.

The Comic Interlude’s Rob
Griffth said, “There’s an increased
awareness” of comics.

Storylines like “The Death of
Superman” and “The Breaking of
Batman’s Back” have combined
with the “X-Men” television show
to “remind people comics are still
around,” Griffth said.

Some of the more popular titles

irgclude the classics like “Batman,”
and newcomers like Image
Comics’ “Spawn.”

Some people buy comics for
“the investment potential. (Also)
peo le just enjoy the media,”
(iri hsaid.

“It’s an escape from the day-to
day reality, to identify with super-
heroes the same reasons that
people read books" Harmon said.

“The Mask” and “The Crow”
were successful box-office draws
and have spawned graphic novels,
full-length comic books.

The success of these films has
led to greater demand for comic
stores. In the case of “The Crow,”
(iriffth said, most people have
been looking for T—shirts and
posters.

0n the other hand, people have
been looking for “The Mask”
comic. Harmon said he hopes
those films will lead to more
comic-based movies.

Melanie Sawyers, an unde-
clared sophomore, said she began
collecting around seventh grade.
She estimated that she spends
about $10 a month on comics.

“I like the stories and the art-
work,” she said. “Some collect for
money, some collect for the sto-
ties.”

The value of comics rises over
time. For example, if a series ends,
issues of that series are worth

more money.

“It’s like another world,”
Sawyer said. “I want to do my own
comic book sometime because
everyone has their own stories to
tell.”

“I collect comic books because
I’ve always enjoyed science—fic-
tion, horror and fantasy stories,”
architecture sophomore Steven
Thomas said.

He said he always looks for
comics that are original and dis-
play creative effort.

“I enjoy comics which consis-
tently publish good stories with
characters that exhibit actual per-

sonalities and places them, not
onlv in fictional circumstances but
rea istic ones also.”

In a good comic, Thomas said,
“story and art should be well-bal—
anced in talent.” He said he ho )es
others collect in order “to md
well-written and beautifully illus—
trated stories by talented eople.”

“Many are interested) in just
what they consider is ‘cool art.’
That doesn’t represent the story
very well at all."

located at 935 South Limestone.
The Comic Interlude is located at
393 Waller Ave. in Imperial Plaza.

Call it Drag Queen 101.

For someone who wants to practice the fine
art of female impersonation, the education
from the upcomin movie “The Adventures of
Priscilla: Queen 0 the Desert” is the most nec-
essary accoutrement he could invest in besides

a durable pair of pantyhose.

accompanying soundtrack can be
