UK officials say plans to begin
construction on UK‘s new central
library next summer are going
well and they don't foresee any
setbacks.

"As capital projects go we are
very close to meeting our objec-
lives and meeting them on time."
University architect Warren Den-
rty said. “l‘d say things are mov-
ing along smoothly."

Paul Willis, director of UK li—
braries. said last week's presenta-
tion of the schematic design for
the new library was "very well re-
ceived."

By mid—August the design/
development phase. the second of
the project‘s five phases. wrll be
completed. said Donald (‘lapp

vice president for administration.

in the design/GL‘VClt‘melll
phase. the layout of the interior
Will be presented and the layout
ot’ the exterior will be addressed.

Officials plan to begin con‘
struction next summer. btit those
plans hinge on whether next
year‘s General Assembly at»
proves the sale of $46» million in
revenue bonds to fund the cause.

“We plan to begin construc—
tion of the library in June or the
first of .luly tn I‘M-l." (‘lapp
said. “That depends on whether
the state authort/es the sale ol
the revenue bonds."

The central library wrll cost
$58 million. Twelve million dol-
lars that has been raised by l'K
from private funds will be allot-
ted to construction.

UK phone system to expand by winter

 

By Rob Thorne
Stall Writer

 

The University will move to a
fully digital switch later this year.
which will make UK‘s phone sys-
tem quicker and more advanced.

The new switch. an AT&T
SESS model. is already in place
and will be put into use on Dec.
18. says Doyle Friskney. executive
director of communication sys-
tems.

“Almost anyone who uses the
phone will benefit greatly from
this switch." lin‘skncy said.

The SESS will make many pro-
cedures possible on University
phone lines that were not offered

before. All of the Smart (‘all ser-
vices that GTE offers. such as call-
er identification and call block.
will be available. liriskney said.

The switch also will make it
easier to dial long distance and
will make quicker long distance
connections.

Along with the these new op—
tions will come a change tn the ex-
tensions. 257 and 258 no longer
will be the first three digits of Uni-
versity phone numbers when stu-
dents return for the spring semes-
tcr.

Friskney said his department
will distribute pamphlets about
this change sometime soon.

The biggest reason for moving

to a new system. Friskney said.
was the lack of available lines on
the old switch. The old switch.
which actually was two intercon-
nected GTE 4600 switches. only
had room for only about 14.000
lines. The University had less than
200 available lines. Friskney said.

“Every year we show a little
growth. and we knew we were go-
ing to grow otit of this system
soon. So we knew we had to do
something and do something
quick.“ he said.

The new SliSS will have 19,000
available lines ..- and. if needed.
can be expanded to hold 30.000
lines. i’riskney said he doesn‘t ex-
pect to outgrow the first 10.000

tad a Kentucky Kernel reporter" i.
“We’re not selling - period."
Now he’s reconsidered.

 

“We'll set! it when the time

Edney to sell home to UK

comes along.” he said.

“Nobody's changed their
mind. it’s just a question of fi-
nance on the part of the state. i
don't know whether the Unt~
versity will be able to get the
money from the state."

The Kentucky General As-
sembly has to approve the sale
of $46 million in bonds before
construction on the library can
begin.

Edney. who has lived in his
white frame house for 29 years.
dismissed his earlier comments
about not selling: “Well, that
wastastsprtng."

Edney did not name a specif~
to reason for changing his mind
about setting the house but
mentiorted UK had made a rea—
sonable offer. He declined to

lines until at least the year 20(1).

One feature that the new switch
will not change is cost. he said.
The new system is being leased
from G'lTi and Will cost the same
as the old system.

()n-campus offices still will be
charged the usual $20.50 per
month for service ——- much cheap-
er than the $65 to $70 many off
campus offices pay.

While the cost and expansibtlity
of the swrtch are nice features.
Friskney said he is more excited
about some technical aspects of
the new system.

New well tobe deepest in Kentucky

A naturaigas test well now being drilled in western Kentucky is

expected to he the deepest well in the state’s hiswry, reaching a

depth of more than three and half miles.

Much of the lanterns for the drilling program resulted from a
study of seismic data, and from well records and sarnple cuttings
maintained by the Kenmclry Geological Survey on the UK campus,
K08 geologist lint Drahovzal said,

Conoco Inc. is drilling the well near the community of Pine
Knob in Grayson County. it the well is successful, it will produce
nattu‘ai gas from a sandstone deposit {crowd more than 500 million
years ago.

Brahma! said the geologic structure in which the well is being
drilled is a rift basin that is bounded by the Rough Creek fault.
During the Cambrian period, this area actively subsided and pro-

. doced a basin with thousands of feel of accumulated sediment.

University begins alternative to USP

About 100 incoming

' I '/ freshmen will take

part in new program

 

By Don Puckett
Senior Staff Writer

 

Several students entering UK
this fall will have unusual class
schedules.

More than 100 new freshmen
will be enrolled in the Modern
Studies Curriculum. a multi-
disciplinary sequence of classes
that fulfills most University Stud-
ics core requirements.

Realizing about one-fourth of
students do not return to school
after their freshman years, the
College of Arts and Sciences and
the Office of Undergraduate Stud-
ies developed the pilot program to
better meet the needs of students.

“The match has not been very
good between the needs of the
people admitted to the University
and what they find at the Univer-
sity," said Richard Edwards, dean
of the College of Arts and Scienc-
es. “To the extent that this is a re-
sult of not getting the kinds of ac-
ademic programs they need, we
change that (with the new pro-
gram)."

Rather than studying a variety
of separate disciplines like Eng-
lish, social sciences and the hu-
manities, students who volunteer
for the Modern Studies Curricu-
lum take a sequence of classes
that attempts to combine different
components of the University
Studies Program.

For their first semester. fresh-
men are required to take “Ways of
Knowing." a five credit-hour class
that examines various cultures
and belief systems, and “Science:
One Way of Understanding the
Universe,“ 3 four credit-hour class

 

 

that explores the scientific method
and the relationships between dif-
ferent fields of science.

Political Science Professor Er-
nest Yanareila, who will be one of
13 faculty members teaching in
the pilot program, said he thinks
the multidisciplinary approach
will help maintain student cnthu~
snasm.

“We hope students Will get
much more cross-disciplinary ex-
posure to themes, issues. concepts
and ideas in a way that is much
less difficult than in the frame-
work of the University Studies
Program." he said.

In addition to offering new
classes, the organizers of the
Modern Studies Curriculum want
to foster a sense of community
among participants.

The program‘s small classes
will promote more interaction be-
tween students and faculty. offi-
cials said. The College of Arts
and Sciences will organize social
events and field trips so students
in the program can meet outside
of class.

There also will be a computer
network by which students and fa-
culty can communicate via elec-
tronic mail. and organized study
groups to promote cooperative
learning.

“We think that one of the rea-

sons that people don‘t continue
(their educations) is that they new-
er really connect with professors
and other students at the Univcm-
ly." said Jeannie Blackwell, asso-
ciate dean of the College of Arts
and Sciences. “And this program
will give them a way to connect
early on."

One of the program‘s potential
disadvantages is lhc'lack of flexi-
bility it allows for students to lail~
or their own class schedules.

With nine credit-hours devoted
to Modern Studies classes each se-
mester. most students will be able
to select only one or two addition-
al courses.

Students will complete the Mod-
ern Studies CurriCulum by the end
of the sophomore year and will
have fulfilled all but the math and
foreign language components of
the University Studies Program.

For the future. Edwards said he
hopes the Modern Studies Curric-
ulum will be an option open to all
students. He does not see it be-
coming a replacement for Univer-
sity Studies. however.

“There will always be a substan-
tial component of our students
who want the flexibility and free
dom of the current system." Ed-
wards said. “Our intention is not
to deny them that. We will always
retain that option."

Clapp and others said they are
confident that the General Assem-
bly will approve funding the addi-
tional $46 million despite recent
statewide budget cutbacks.

“I feel we will receive authori-
zation to sell the bonds." Clapp
said. “The governor has said he
will help support the library. 1
know a lot of legislators are com-
mitted to this project."

State Senate budget chief Mi-

l“ w t: .

chael Moloney (D—Lexinglon) said
he believes the library will receive
funding during the 1994 session.

“One of the top priorities will be
to see that there is funding for the
library," Moloney said. "The
probability that UK will be able to
acquire the necessary funding for
the library is very high. The $46
million figure is a doable figure."

Clapp said UK has raised nearly
$19 million in funds for the library
through private donation. UK‘s
goal was to raise $20 million.

Siamese twins separated at UK

 

 

 

 

By Nina Davidson
Arts Editor

 

After nine and a half hours of
delicate surgery, Siamese twins
Brittany and Tiffany Lewis were
separated Tuesday at UK Hospi-
tal.

Brittany and Tiffany. joined at
the lower spine, had to be separat-
ed because the one kidney they
shared couldn't support them
both. Andrew Pulito, a pediatric
surgeon, said the prognosis for
Brittany is good but Tiffany prob-
ably will not survive.

“Long term (life) support for
Tiffany is inappropriate," Pulito
said. “Our plans are now to keep
Tiffany comfortable and allow na-
ture to take its course."

“She lived only because she
was attached to Brittany,” Pulito
said. Tiffany, the smaller twin,
was severely brain damaged at
birth. Pulito estimated she prob-
ably will live for only a few more
days.

Pulito emphasized that there
was never a dilemma about sacri-
ficing one twin to save the other.
He said it was clear from the out-
set that Tiffany would not have
survived if she had been born sep-
arate from Brittany.

Brittany, however, is recovering
well from the surgery. “We antici-
pate, barring unforeseen complica-
tions, that Brittany will do well,”
Pulito said.

Lori Shook, a neonatologist/
pediatrician who is taking care of
the twins after the surgery, said
Brittany still is on a respirator but
“her kidney appears to be working
well."

The main concern now is Britta-
ny's recovery. “We need to try
and keep her from getting infect-
ed," Shook said. Infection is a
concern after any operation but es-
pecially after the extensive surgery
performed on Brittany.

Doctors were concerned that
Brittany might not be able to walk
after the damage to her spine, but

Shook said that she has moved

The intricate surgery consisted
of separating the twins’ shared
spine, pelvis bone, rectum and va-
gina. Doctors transferred all the
shared organs to Brittany, who
held the only kidney.

said the surgery was complicated.

comment on the exact amount.
Donald Clapp, UK vice president
for administration, denied there
was ever a conflict between UK
and Edney. “Our discussions
have always been cooperative
and cordial." Clapp said.

He said Edney‘s earlier com-
ments about not selling resulted
from a misunderstanding.

“I think he thought that was a
different issue," Clapp said. “I
think he undastood from the
questions the reporters asked him
that he would be forced to sell."

Clapp said he and Edney have
always had an agreement. “He’s
always said that he’s been willing
to sell his house all along."

Edney has not signed any legal
documents transferring owner-
ship of his house to UK.

Edney. who is in his late 80s,
does not know where he is going
to live when he moves. “1 have
no idea," he said. “Someplace
here in town.”

Paul Willis, UK director of li-
braries, said construction of the
library building is scheduled to
begin next summer. Construction
crews already have begun core
drilling to determine the subsur-
face of the construction site.

The library is scheduled to
open in the summer of 1996.

UK trio holding their own in Ohio

Bat Cats Reed, Abbott
and Hindersman en-
rolled in baseball [01

 

By Brant Welch
Sports Editor

 

Summer school is something
that most students dreadfully take
to ensure graduation or to pick up
some needed credit hours. It‘s not
always an easy task — to study
while everyone else is having fun
in the sun —— but it is sometimes
necessary.

UK Bat.(‘ats Brad Hindersman,
Brian Reed and Jeff Abbott have
been paying their summertime
dues in college baseball‘s version
of summer school. The trio are in
Ohio playing for the Cincinnati
Spirits of the Great Lakes League,
a wooden bat league that includes
some of the better collegiate talent
in the nation.

So far. each is passmg with 11y-
ing colors.

Reed, a senior-to-bc, leads the
league in pitching with an IRA of
1.39.

Senior-to-be llindersman is a
league-leader in homeruns with
four.

And Abbott. who will be a jun-
ior this season. is showing shades
of Toronto Blue Jay's John ()lerud,
hitting a league-leading .401.

Each faired well enough to play
in the (ireat Lakes All-Star (iame
on Jilly 18.

UK baseball coach Keith Madi~
son said he sent them to “but be-
cause he believes that the league
can be beneficial to them.

“It is one of the top summer col-
legiate baseball leagues." Madison
said. “In most cases we can tell it
really helped the players who go to
leagues such as the (ireat Lakes. 1
think it is a very positive experi-
ence for the players ”

liach said he believes the league
helps him in a different area.

“It gives me a chance to pitch
against some people I haven‘t
laced before." said Reed. who is 4-
1. with one save. “This is one of
the best collegiate summer leagues
around. 1 definitely think the
league has helped me."

Abbott is getting a chance to
play again after a long layoff. The
Georgia native played in only six
games last season while battling a
recurring bout with mononucleo-
sis.

“I figured I needed to play in the
league to get back in shape after
not playing for so long." Abbott
said. “I'm kind of surprised I’ve
gotten back into the flow of things
as qutek as l have. I'm getting my

rhythm back."

Reed has been impressed by Ab-
bott‘s play.

“Jeff‘s just tearing up this
league. He‘s really standing out up
here."

Abbott. who recently was draft-
ed by the (‘hicago White Sox. said
he is “pretty sure" he will be back
at UK this fall. “I‘m looking for a
place to stay in Lexington for the
fall if that tells you anything.“ he
said.

"I got a good offer from the
White Sox. but one of the reasons
1 want to come back is because
we're supposed to have a really
good team. My team goal is for us
to get to the College World Series.
That would be the highlight of my
life."

Ilindersman is using the experi-
ence to improve his defensive
game more so than his offensive
game. llindersman, who will most
likely be UK‘s starting catcher this
season. is seeing extensive action
at catcher this summer after seeing
limited action there in his previous
three years at UK.

“1 think the best pan about this
summer is that I've gotten to feel

comfortable behind the plate." he
said. “I feel better catching now
than 1 ever have. even in high
school."

All agree that the wooden bat
makes a big difference in how
they approach the game.

“It takes some guys time to get
used to the wooden bats." Abbott
said. “It eliminates a lot of cheap
hits."

llititlcrsman says using the
wooden bats changes a batter's
mindset.

“You can‘t go to the plate quite
as aggressive with the wooden bat
as an aluminum bat." he said.
“You don‘t get as many cheap
hits. so you have to be selective in
what you swing at."

Reed, who has no problem with
the wooden bat. said it allows him
to pitch more consistently.

“What‘s helping me is that I‘m
not walking batters. ’lhat‘s what‘s
helping my ERA." he said.

Abbott. almost laughing as he
spoke. thought about Reed's re-
turn to UK next season.

“Brian‘s going to hate to go
back to school and have to see that
aluminum bat again."

reaction, as ‘
passive as it 91‘- ‘ .
was. shouldn't
make me feel NEWTON
all that bad. It was probably the
initial reaction most people had to
the news. if they gave it that much
thought.

But upon further analysis I have
a change of tune.

Is this Newton guy good or
what?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lyden newest
coach at-UK

staff ‘Beports *

 

 

cen’a programs at BK, Matches
Directorate. Netvton has “arr;
nounced. g

Lyden comes to UK tt‘em
Louisiana State University,
where he coached to divers to
AihAmertca‘n Status and it to
honorable mention. .

His divers won 15 indtvtdual
titles at the SEC swtauntrtg
Championships while under his
guidance. This past Season his
team won. fear of the star SEC
divinguaes.

Prior to joining the LSU staff,
Lyden spent nine years coaching
at Eastern Michigan University.
While there, he earned confer—
ence coach of the- year honors
nine times and produced 0n-
ference chainpions and one arr-
American.

 

 

Ponder what Newton has
brought to UK in less than five
years to his alma mater.

oRick Pitino and respectability
to the UK men‘s basketball pro-
gram.

oBill Curry and new life to the
football program with a series
with Louisville, an indoor practice
facility (which bodes well for all
sports) and talk of expanding
Commonwealth Stadium.

These are his major coups. Like
the army. Newton does more be-
fore 9 am. than most athletic di-
rectors do all day. But anyone who
claims to be a UK fan knows these
facts about Newton‘s accomplish-
merits.

What makes getting Lyden so
exceptional is that Newton and
UK swimming coach Gary (‘onel—
ly obtained the services of the
Rick Pitino of the college diving
world and enticed him to defect
from LSU, a program where Ly-
den was named Southeastern Con‘
ference men's coach of the year
this past season and has thrice
been named SEC women‘s coach
of the year.

It would be easy for Newton to
ease back and smell the roses.
Why give yourself a headache try-
ing to get one of the better diving
coaches in the country? You‘ve
got a great basketball team. The
football team is gaining respecta-

bility. Why bother?

That's not Newton‘s style. so
he does bother. He isn‘t one to be
satisfied with mediocrity. in any
sport.

“We are very committed to hav-
ing a broad based sports program
at UK.“ Newton said. “We want
to be competitive in the (SEC) in
all our sports. If you are competi-
tive in the SEC you are competi-
tive nationally because the SEC is
such a strong conference."

Newton said getting the right
kind of people and backing them
is what builds strong programs.

“It depends on getting the right
people to coach your programs
and giving them administrative
support.“ he said. “That is how
you succeed."

UK fans have to be happy with
the overall direction athletics has
taken under Newton‘s command.

Aside from basketball and foot-
ball. the men‘s and women‘s soc-
cer teams are now varsity sports
and gaining momentum. The
men‘s baseball team looks to be
rock solid in the spring. And the
women‘s gymnastics team will be
one of the top teams in the nation.

I: this Newton guy good or
what?
