Prez candidates reach to students

One presidential candidate is hoping his
lack of Student Government experience can be
seen as a plus. leading students to envision him
as their next SG president.

“I never joined a club that I wasn‘t going to
be in full-hearted.” said presidential candidate

As expected. the Board of
Trustees approved a 12.5 per-
cent tuition and fees increase
yesterday UK's administration
also announced an increase to
its proposed faculty and staff
salary pool raise.

The 12.5 percent increase _
the third straight doubledigit
tuition increase was lower
than the 14.5 percent increase

tra money that the state govern-
ment added to UK‘s operating
funds made the smaller in-
crease possible.

At first. UK had proposed a

guessing that it wouldn’t get
any money. said UK President
Lee 'Ilodd.

“'I'hat‘s a major assump
tion. considering that the last
three years we've been cut“
about a total of $73 million.
Todd said. “We were hoping it
would at least be at zero.“

Instead. UK received about
$13 million in state funds and it
used part of that money to help
shrink the tuition increase and
add $500000 to need-based
scholarships for students.

“Nobody likes to pay more
for anything. but I hope (stu-
dents) view their tuition as an
investment in their future."
Todd said in an email. “It‘s not
a disposable commodity 7 its
return will last a lifetime“

For next school year. a 12.5
percent in-state tuition increase
means lowerdivision students
will pay $647.50 more. while up
perdivision students will pay
$663.50 more.

For outof-state students. a
7.1 percent tuition increase has
remained steady since early
February That means lowerdi-

Provost search committee unveiled

By Adam Sichko

THE KENTUCKY KERNEL

President Lee Todd announced a
16-member search committee to
find a new provost yesterday and re-
sponded to some faculty criticism
about the committee's selection
process.

Current Provost Mike Nietzel.
appointed to the position full-time
in October 2002. will leave UK at the
end of June to assume his new du-
ties as president of Southwest Mis-
souri State University. Last week.
Todd appointed Scott Smith. dean
of the College of Agriculture. to
work with Nietzel as interim
provost.

Five faculty members. four ad-
ministrators. three deans. one Lex-
ington businessman and a student
representative make tip most of the

committee. The national search
should produce three to four candi-
dates. and Todd will select the win-
ner.

“There is no question that the
provost plays a central and signifi-
cant role in my administration."
Todd said in an e-mail. "That's how
the provost model was designed to
be."

Todd said he should have the
power to choose the provost be-
cause the provost lTK's highest-
ranking academic official works
closely with him.

“The provost is a central part of
the structure of my administration
and must be a key adviser to me."
Todd said, “And. ultimately. the
only person responsible for hiring
the right person is me.“

The debate. moderated by
UK political science professor

Presidential candidate
Tommy Cunningham agreed
that the SG president is the
students‘ voice on the board
but pointed out that that voice
is not a strong one.

The board is going to do
certain things whether the SG
president votes against it or
not. (hmningham said.

Dr. Charles Smith. a UK neurology profes-
sor. said although technology has advanced
medicine. the issues of end‘of-life treatment
have arisen because of these advances.

“The downside is. we‘ve created this popula-
tion of people in a medical situation that was
never seen before. people who are alive but are
neurologically devastated in ways they never
could have (been) before because they wouldn‘t
survive." Smith said.

“It's a completely new state. and we're still

Trustee Russ Williams. who voted for
the increase. said the final numbers are
“very positive from a student's perspec
tive."

“It's never a happy day when we have to
increase tuition. but at least we were able to
back off the original plan." Williams said.
“I’m impressed with what the legislature
and the governor were able to do in this
last session. and those intentions read well
with this budget."

Student Government President Rachel
Watts. in voting against the increase, said
students are having serious problems han-
dling repeated tuition increases with no
end in sight. Watts and Steve Reed were the
only votes against the increase.

“A lot of students don‘t want KCTCS
(Kentucky Community and Technical Col-
lege System. of which lexington Commu-
nity College is a member) or Uofl. (Univer
sity of Louisville) ,, they want to be here."

"The students who are most passionate
about UK aren’t necessarily valtdictoriarisz
they‘re also the needy" she said. "We have
to ensure that the challenges don‘t become
too hard to leave those people out."

The recent trend is heading toward
making the cost of attending UK too high
for an incnwsing amoturt of Kentucky fam-
ilies. Watts said.

“We need to mme up with consistency
in that scenario." a balance between quali-
ty of education and accessibility. Watts
said.

UK‘s administration also annoimced

enlarge faculty and staff salary pools by 4
percent one percentage point higher
than originally proposed. A faculty “fight-
ing fimd." designed to help UK deans offer
more mmpetitive salary and benefits pack-
ages to retain quality faculty: remains in
place as a proposed budget measure. The
board will vote on the budget in .ltine.

UK‘s faculty and staff have averaged a

“These are clear steps in the right di-
rection." said University Senate Chairman
Ernie Yanarella of what he wlled a “mod—
est goal" of reaching 90 percent of the me
dian average benchmark faculty salary.
This is really only a first step. however."

Yanarella hopes the fighting fund can

"We've only in the last year moved out

UK's average faculty salary relative to its

competition."

An addition to the current budget pro
posal is a staff equity p001.“sort of a ‘fight-
ing fund’ for staff so that we can attract

Continued from page 1

Todd installed the provost system
at UK in July 2001. and Nietzel has
been UK's only provost. In Monday's
University Senate Council meeting,
some faculty members argued that
they. instead of Todd. should have had
the power to choose the five faculty
members of the committee.

Ernie Yanarella. chairman of the
University Senate. represented the
Senate council in a Monday afternoon
meeting with Todd. Yanarella reported
to the council what the president told
him about faculty representation on
the committee.

”There's a firm message from Todd

and (Todd's chief of staff Doug) Boyd
that they won‘t cede the authority for
that decision." Yanarella in the Senate
council meeting. “He said his concern
is for broad representation for the en—
tire university."

Todd chose four of the five faculty
candidates on his own. Todd selected
the fifth faculty member Ernie Bai-
ley. a veterinary science professor
from a list of four candidates provided
by the Senate Council.

“But one out of four out of five is a
really diluted process." argued Kaveh
Tagavi. a Senate councilman and me-
chanical engineering professor. “Broad
representation is distinct from repre-
sentation period."

Jeannine Blackwell, co-chair of the
search committee. said the committee
wants to find someone who can best
serve and represent everyone at UK.

“We're going to look for somebody

 

who. as an absolute basic requirement,
has an outstanding academic record
and experience in running a compre-
hensive kind of a university of col—
lege." said Blackwell, dean of UK‘s
Graduate School. “That goes all the
way from agriculture and the medical
center to the humanities and engineer-
ing."

First, the committee will select a
consulting firm to help it write a job
description and effectively market the
position opening. Blackwell said. Todd
said he has no specific timeline for the
committee.

“With Provost Nietzel assuming his
new position on July 1. we obviously
want to move as quickly as possible."
Todd said. “However. with the capable
leadership of Dean Smith in place.
there is no reason to rush the process."

ic goal in mind and brought in
several experts to reinforce
that goal.

“It was really just a panel
that was meant to educate."
Rosenthal said.

“I want people to walk
away with the knowledge that
they have local support."

Some physicians focused
on aspects of the Schiavo case
to dispel falsehoods.

Dr. Terry Gutsgell. medical
director for Hospice of the
Bluegrass. outlined the dying
process in patients with simi-
lar circumstances as Schiavo's

hinting that Schiavo was suf-
fering.

TUE—KENTUCKY mm

A Lexington Community College stu-
dent was injured last night in an acci-
dent involving a motorcycle on the cor-

ner of Euclid Avenue and Lin-
den Walk.

Jamie Martin was a passen—
ger on a motorcycle driven by
UK electrical engineering ju-
nior Michael Pawelczyk when
a car driven by Lindy L. Ratliff
struck him.

Ratliff‘s age and address is
unknown.

A second motorcycle. dri-
ven by Lexington resident
Shane Grimes. 21. was follow-
ing Pawelczyk but was not in-
volved in the accident.

Ratliff declined to com-
ment at the scene.

According to witnesses at the scene.
cars were backing up from the stoplight

at Rose Street and Euclid Avenue.

Pawelczyk was traveling the Rose
Street light. passing cars on the right by

using the bike lane.

Ratliff was making a right turn from

Euclid Avenue onto Linden Walk and
struck the motorcycle. causing Martin
to fall off.

“They just came up in the bike lane;
they passed me." said integrated strate-
gic communications sophomore Thomas
Adkins.

“I was getting ready to
turn. so I had my brakes on. It
happened really fast."

Martin was taken to UK
Chandler Medical Center and
was listed in fair condition as
of 8 pm. yesterday.

Pawelczyk was breathav
lyzed at the scene. and UK po-
lice officers said the test was
negative.

UK police did not say if
charges would be brought
against Pawelczyk.

For now, Pawelczyk said
he‘s got a lot on his mind.

“My friend is in the hospital: my
bike‘s totaled." he said. “My day‘s pretty
ruined.“

THEATRICAL RELEASES
Beauty Shop

In an all-lady line-up to rival
Barbershop. Queen Latifah reprises
her character from both films and
steps into a vehicle that is not. thank-
fully. a taxi cab for this comedy. With
her daughter attending music school
in Atlanta, and getting a chance to
make a name for herself at an upscale
salon, Latifah suddenly finds herself
jilted when her boss takes all the
credit for her work. Angry. she buys a
run down shop full of sassy stylists
and starts to remake her image in a
new city. With crazy clientele, includ-
ing Mena Suvari (American Beauty).

photographer Zana Brisk. through ex-
ploring the red light slums of Calcut-
ta. Through giving several young
girls a camera and asking them to ex-
plore their world, each girl presents a
portrait of their lives some show
the face of despair at being in-
escapably drawn into their future as
prostitutes. one uses the camera to
record in memory the murder of her
own mother by an angry pimp. while
others still show their courage and in-
trepidness by filming the most dan-
gerous parts of the City. Woven to-

chronicle of overwhelming poverty in
some of its worst forms. but how art

DVD RELEASES

Apollo :3: tot!) Anniversary
Edition

i remember when this film came
out that Tom Hanks was scarily good
at getting practically whatever role he

wanted. which has waned in recent
years. If you haven't been awake in
the last io years (apologies to Terry
Schiavo) this film details the near dis-
astrous misSion of the Apollo i3 mis-
Sion and its crew's herOism.

Mike Nichols's constructed tale of
sheer emotionally brutality and ram—
pant human cruelty arrives on DVD
this week. Four Londoners. some na-
tive, some adopted. all mix amongst
themselves in various romantic en-
tanglements that leave all the players
emotionally devastated. The cast
shines Clive Owen for being a com-
plete bastard, Jude Law for sloughing
off his usual bravado for serious vul-
nerability. Julia Roberts for being
conflicted. confused. and ultimately
guilty, and Natalie Portman as an
aloofly erotic American stripper try-
ing to make her way in the United
Kingdom The film does have a cer-
tain air of pretentiousness about it,
but being adapted from the stage.
this is likely a remaining reSidue
