llli study shows school violence up

By Erich Kragel
Sta/I Ii 'ritcr

:\ L'K study has uncovered dis—
turbing results regarding guns and
violence in Kentucky's middle 11nd
high school students.

Ihe L K ( ernte Ior l’re1ention
ReseaiLb released the results til 11
six— month sur1 L1 this _1ear,sho11-
ing that the number oI middle and
high school studLnts Larrying
weapons and being threatened by
weapons is growing.

The survey, conducted every six
months since WW), included more
than 26,000 students front grades
six through II from I; different
counties. l he goal oI the sun L1 is
to provide inIormation Ior Ken
tucky lawmakers to Iight 1iolenLL
in secondary schools. said Richard
Clayton, the center’s director, in a
news release this month.

“The tendency of the past is to
get tougher" with students, Clay-
ton said. “\\'e need to get smarter."

\\ hile only the percent oI mid-
dle school students 11nd five percent
oI high school students reported
carrying guns to school, 12 percent
of middle school students and 17
percent of high school students
reported taking weapons to school.
\Leapons include anything from
knives to guns to baseball bats.

liven though Fayette County
schools were included in the survey,
not all schools report having any
problems with guns or weapons.

“Since I’ve been principal, there
have been no reports of students
carrying guns," said (irant Robin—
son. interim principal at Tates
Creek High School. (irant has been
interim principal since August 1906.

\\'inburn Middle School has
had the same results concerning
gun possession.

“\\'e have been blessed," said
Jim Thomas, associate principal
and disciplinarian at \\'inburn.
“No weapons of any kind have
been reported to have been found."

Bryan Station High School had
one incident ofa minor caught in
possession of a gun this school
year, well below the average. But
school officials said they still see
this as a problem.

“Even if one student is found
with a gun, there still is a problem,"
said Linda Adams, senior officer of
Law Enforcement at Bryan Station.
“That’s why they (students caught
in possession) will be expelled and
must go through juvenile or adult
court, whatever the case may be."

Few students have been report-
ed having any weapons brought to
Fayette County schools at all.

“\Ve've had a few weapons
reported," said John Toye, direc—
tor of the Department of l 1111
Enforcement for Fayette ( ounty
Schools.“ I hey are niostly knives.

The study also shows more stu-
dents are reporting they’ve been
threatened with guns than in pre—
vious studies, with 14 percent for
middle school students and I8

percent ofhigh school students.

But the importance of the sur—
vey is not only to highlight stall»
ties on violence and guns in Ken»
tuckv s youth but also to give
information to public oIIicials so
they Lan slow thL growth.

More than 38 percent of mid—
dle school and 30 percent of high
school students reported having
been threatened or injured at
school. Roughly the same percent
said it is likely they will be threat-
ened or injured.

The survey also documents the
average number of students who
use tobacco products. alcohol and
drugs, but no specific evidence
shows a relationship between stu—
dents carrying guns and students
using chemical stimulants.

“There is only a small Lorrela—
tion between drug use with guns
and v,"iolence (. layton said “the
only drug being alLohol."

But the blocks are not falling
over easily in some cases.

The domino effect is how
many staff members are
describing the moving pro-
cess for several L'nivcrsity
departments into space freed
up in the Margaret 1. King

Library.

Once the move from King to
the new \Villiam T. Young
Library is cotnpleted, renova-
tions will begin to section off
parts of King to create a fine
arts library, another for science
and engineering and one for
special collections.

“In terms of the moving
aspect, we are the last of the
dominos, " said \Iaggic John-
son, team leader for the sci-

ence and engineering library.
“First the other libraries get
done, and then we get our go
at it."

One of the opening projects
will be to renovate the Lucille
Caudill Little Fine Arts Library
and Listening Center. The
library. which will move to
King North, will incorporate
the art and music libraries as
well as the music listening cen-
ter.

“Neither the art or music

libraries were adequate in
terms of size and facility," said
Gail Kennedy, who is in

charge of the fine arts library

team. “Both departments are
very excited about this oppor-
tunity to expand their
resources for its students and

“It's a domino effect that

Profr want
focus to stay
on academics

By Matthew May

.‘l.1‘\‘I.\‘ftlllt .Vt'tx'i‘ l'ii’lffll'

The UK Athletics Association may

face stiff opposition, in the form of

L'niversity faculty and staff, if it con-
tinues to pursue either renovating
Rupp Arena or building a new on-
catnpus arena next to Common~
wealth Stadium.

A group of faculty members, head-
ed 11p by history professor (iLorge
Herring and political scienLe protes-
sor Bradlev ( anon, are cirLulating 11
petition opposing a new arena or ren—
o1at1onoIR11pp

I he petition, sent to various
departments across campus I hursda1
mornmg, asks Ior signatures oI IaLul—
ty members who Icel the L niversity
and Athletics Association should
abort its attempts to improve the LiK
basketball facilities and focus on
L'K‘s mission to becotne a Top 10
research institution.

Herring, one of the authors of the
petition said facult1 members are
concerned about L K s priorities.

“\\ c are concerned with what
message it would send that UK would
invest money in a new or renovated
structure instead of academics." Her-
rm 1 said. “It is a matter of priority
’M’MI message. \Ve need to invest our
energy in building up the academic
side ofthe L'niversity."

Herring said the idea ofa upgrad—
ing L'K’s basketball facility is not all
bad in itself, but is not something L'K
should pursue at this time.

“It is just the wrong thing to do at
this time," Herring said. “Higher
education is our priority right now.“

Canon, who helped Herring write

the petition, also expressed concern
over the timing of the issue and said
the faculty wants to make a statement
about the commitment to academics.

“I signed the petition because I
think 11 new arena sends the wrong
message about where L‘K is now,"
Canon said. "The faculty wants to
make a statement."

Since the feasibility study results
were made public about two weeks
ago, the faculty has voiced their wor-
ries that a new arena could take
money away from fund-raising for
academics. There has also been
debate over L‘K‘s intentions, should a
new arena be built, to ask for dona—
tions from large corporations and
wealthy Blue, /\\ hite donors.

“Presumably you would have a
basketball arena giving campaign
which would interfere with getting
donations for research." Canton said.

Herring agreed, saying a new
arena would rob L'K of its tradition
ofhaving tremendous fans. as 11 ell as
make L'K basketball an elitist label.

“Traditionally, L'K basketball
what pulls the state together," Iler»
ring said. ‘It reallv distutbetl a lot oI
people that a new 11ana would be
almost solel1 luxur1 boxes and
licensed seats for those with monLv.
making it very elitist. lhat is not
what college athletics are all about.“

L'K Senior Associate Director of
Athletics Larry Ivy said the percep-
tion that L'K would be taking money
away from the academic side of the
L'niversity is wrong. The arena
would be funded completely from
private sources.

“The sources of money are totally
separate," Ivy said. “\Ve are not tak-
ing money that would be otherwise
going to academics. .\lost of the
money would be from corporations
who are interested in LR basketball
for mu rtainment purposLs. "

I11 stressed that no statL mone1
would be used. II an arena is built, it

Quality of dissertations to
be improved by program

By Sherry Thompson

Contributing lVrirer

Last week the first group of winners were
announced in a new program designed to
increase the quality of doctoral dissertations in
various fields at UK.

Graduate School Dean Michael T. Nietzel
initiated the Visiting Distinguished Faculty Pro-
gram to encourage the quality of dissertations
and to publicize especially meritorious research
to academic leaders at other institutions.

The purpose of these awards is “to help
publicize the accomplishments of some of our
very best graduate students at the University of
Kentucky,” and to enhance the dissertation
experience, Nietzel said.

Last semester deans were allowed to nomi-
nate up to two doctoral candidates from their
department for this program. The candidates’
dissertations were expected to be of merit
deserving of the attention ofa leading visiting
scholar in the corresponding field.

port from the director of Graduate Studies, as
well as a brief sketch of three scholars consid-
ered leading experts in the research area repre-
sented by the dissertation.

Dean Nietzel and a panel of faculty advisers
reviewed all nominations for this school year and
selected initial winners including: Mary Daniels,
Spanish and Italian; Alexei Dmitrienko, statistics;
\Varren Harper, chemistry; Cynthia IIartung,
psychology; Kristen Stauffer, music; Robert
Topmiller, history; andjason Wolf, biology.

All of these students are scheduled for final
examination in May and are considered by
their major professor to be working on a dis—
sertation worthy of special attention by a lead-
ing researcher in their field.

“I’m jazzed about it,” said Stauffer, a musicol-
ogy doctoral student whose dissertation is on
19th century American music criticism. “I’m
kinda nervous, because now I have to finish it.
But it’s a good thing. The school of music
doesn’t et enough recognition for what we do.”

Stau fer's adviser, music professor Ron Pen,
put her up for the award.

The Graduate School will provide a $500
honorarium to the visiting scholar plus cover
the travel and per diem costs associated with
the visit. Most visits will be accomplished ina
two—day, one-night period.

For each dissertation chosen for this pro-
gram, the visiting scholar will serve as repre—
sentative of the dean of the corresponding
department at each candidate's final examina-
tion. This will ensure that only the most qual-
ified candidates receive degrees and that final
examinations are conducted with utmost rigor
and fairness.

On top ofoverseein the examination of a
dissertation in their field, the visiting scholar
will present a colloquium on his or her
research in order to enrich knowledge in the
scholar‘s field.

The Graduate School intends to ye rior—
ity to visiting scholars whose researc wil ben-
efit as broad a campus audience as ossible.

These presentations will be well-publicized
and scheduled for locations that can accommo—
date a large audience.

Clinton's budget may ax funds

Perkins loans
lyart most by
new proposal

By Becky Neilson
The Hatchet

\V.ASI'IING'I‘()N — Students
who rely on the federal govern-
ment for financial assistance may
find themselves both helped and
hindered when President Clinton
submits his budget to Congress
next month.

The president’s budget request
is slated to include a provision that
will up the federal government’s
spending on the nation’s work—
study program by $70 million for
the 1999-2000 academic year.

But also included is a section that
will kill the government’s capital

contributions to the federal Perkins
loans pro am — about $135 mil-
lion this fizcal year — eliminating
new federal subsidies to the 30— ear-
old program of low—interest lbans
for low—income students.

If passed, the budget provision
will not eliminate the Perkins
loans program altogether.

Funds for Perkins loans, which
are available to students at a lower
interest rate than regular bank
loans, revolve through the system.
The federal government makes its
contribution annually and partici—
pating colleges grant loans to stu-
dents using those federal funds
and money that has been repaid to
the institution by past students.

“It’s a misconception that if
this goes through, the program
will die,” said Jerry Roschwalb,
director of Governmental Rela-
tions for the National Association
of State Colleges and Universities.
“There is $6 billion already in the
program, and it will continue to

revolve through the program.”

More than 788,000 students
nationwide received Perkins loans
this year, and 85 percent of them
had family incomes of $30,000 or
less.

Sarita Gupta, president of the
United States Student Associa—
tion, said talk has circulated in the
higher education community that
the Clinton administration is
backing down from its plan to cut
federal Perkins contributions after
the proposal caused a furor among
aid advocates.

But Clinton’s budget proposal,
touted as the first balanced budget
in 30 years, is “still fluid,” said Ken
McInerney, spokesman for the
National Association of Student
Financial Aid Administrators.

“\IVe’ll get more specifics in the
State of the Union next week,”
McInerney said. “There is still
some back and forth."

If the president’s plan makes it
to Capitol Hill, though, Gupta

said her organization and others
will encourage legislators not to
approve the cuts.

“Our hope is that it won’t get
cut,” Gupta said. “But we have a
plan ifit doesn’t go our way.”

Gupta said the Alliance to Save
Student Aid, a coalition of about a
dozen education organizations
including the USSA, has devel-
oped a campaign called “Diplomas
Not Debt” to lobby for Congres-
sional education appropriations
and the re—authorization of the
Higher Education Act, which is
slated for this year.

During a national legislative
grassroots conference in March,

she said, students will lobby mem— .

bers of Congress on issues related
to higher education.

“I have no doubt that if the
planned cuts do it make it to
Congress,” Gupta said, “students
will go in and talk passionatel to
their legislators about Per ‘ns
loans.”

0 Students and faculty are invited to submit a nomination of a faculty member
for the Office of Academic Ombud to serve the University from July 1, 1998
to June 30,

there, Frank Ettensohn said
he disagrees with the way
things are being planned
for his department‘s collec-
tions.

“This is overall not a
good thing for us,” said
Ettensohn, chairman of the
geology department.
“Moving there will destroy
the integrity of our collec—
tion, and we will (as a
department) suffer for it
greatly.”

The plans call for break—
ing the geology’s collec-
tions among the five floors
allotted for the Science and
Engineering Library,
which in the end will be a
detriment to the whole
library itself, Ettcnsohn
said.

“Why should we go and
have everything broken up,
where it will take longer
for our patrons to find
what they need, when they
have everything together
right here?” he said. “It is
against our wishes and we
feel this is worth fighting
for.”

Ettensohn said he sent a
letter to UK officials,
including UK President
Charles Wethington and

1999.

Paul Willis, director of
libraries.

Willis responded to the
letter, Ettensohn said, and
gave what he called an
“unsatisfactory response.”

“There is some dissent
(to the move),” Willis said.
“We can’t have total una-
nimity, but generally the
attitude (among depart-
ments) is very positive.”

Optimistically most
department library heads
are expecting to be able to
move into King sometime
late this year, with a grand
opening coming in early
1999.

ing forward to the end
