By DAN "ASSERT
Editor in chief

Basic needs are the emphasis of
the UK biennial budget request and
Five Year Plan approved yesterday
by the Board of Trustees.

The budget requests additional
funds for faculty and staff salaries.
routine building maintenance. oper—
ating expenses and other infrastruc-
tural needs such as library books
and computing equipment.

UK President David Roselle said
it is in addressing such basic needs
that the University can lay the foun-
dation for a strong future.

"The University wants to do a lot
of things." Roselle said. “The bud-
get is certainly the vehicle. or part
of the vehicle. by which we can get
there."

UK‘s budget is set every two
years by the state government. The
University submits biennial budget
requests while using its Five Year

Plan as a road map for more long-
term appropriations.

The budget request will be sent to
the Council on Higher Education,
which has until Nov. 15 to analyze it
and make its own recommendation
to the governor. The new governor
will incorporate the recommenda‘
tion or an amended version into his
own budget and present it to the
General Assembly during its spring
session.

The total budget for 1988-89 is
$631.5 million and for 1989-90 is
$664.1million.

The University is requesting an
additional $94.9 million from the
state to bring the University up to
100 percent funding under the Coun-
cil‘s formula for funding higher edu«
cation.

The budget and five-year plan are
organized into several main areas.

UT athlete still in coma
as he continues to make
moves toward recovery

By ROSEANNE NIINGO
Contributing Writer

Five months ago. doctors didn‘t
give Scott Hartman much of a
chance to live.

Although he is still in a coma the
19- year-old member of the Universi-
ty of Tennessee‘s track team contin-
ues to make progress.

Hartman. of Brentwood. Tenn.
was hit on the head during the Ken-
tucky Relays in April by a track
hammer — a it‘rpound steel ball at-
tached to a chain. He was was then
taken to Central Baptist Hospital
where he underwent surgery to re-
lieve pressure on his brain.

In mid- -May. Hartman was moved
to a hospital in Vanderbilt Tenn.
About a month later he was moved
again to Rebound Inc. a privately-
owned comatose management facili-
ty within the Nashville Memorial
Hospital said Hartman‘ s father.
Cleon.

Rebound Inc. is a unit for the “re-
habilitation of traumatically brain-

injured individuals.‘ said Larry
Snyder executive director of Re-
bound Inc. at Nashville Memorial
Hospital.

According to Tom Mattingly. Ten-
nesse‘s assistant sports information
director. “He's tScotti progressing
as well as can be expected. it‘s just
a slow process. "

“(He's) going through the proc-
esses of a child.“ Cleon said.

Hartman is able to communicate
through the use of facial expressions
and hand gestures. Cleon said. He
yawns stretches moves his right
arm and leg and answers questions
with his right thumb Cleon said

"The other day I asked Scott if he
wanted to go fishing and his thumb
went straight up ‘he said.

Cleon also said “(Scott 5) eyes are
open about 25 percent of the time‘

although there is no pupil response
which may indicate that he is blind.

Cleon said he believes Scott is ca-
pable to think logically and reason
but he is trapped inside of his body
“like he sin a prison.

SCOTT HARTMAN

While listening to a Tennessee
football game on television. Cleon
said Scott began waving his right
arm when the Volunteers scored a
touchdown and intercepted a pass.

While Scott is still not unable to
communicate verbally he did mum-
ble what sounded like “Renee" dur—
ing an ambulance ride to Nashville
Memorial Hospital Cleon said
Renee was Hartman‘s sister who
was killed in an automobile accident
byadrunk driver.

Other than that, Cleon said Scott
has only mumbled "uh-huh."

Task force formed
for disease study

By (A. DIANE BUNII-‘I-IR
Associate Editor

A student task force has been ap
pointed by Student Government Ass
sociation President (‘yndi Weaver.
but its members disagree about
what the committee's purpose is.

The six-member task force was
created after SGA overwhelmingly
approved a resolution to study the
spread of sexually transmitted dis-
eases and unwanted pregnancies.

Weaver said the Sexually Aware-
ness and Safety Task Force's mis-
sion is to propose a plan to the SGA
senate on distributing condoms on
campus.

“We might as well stop being se—
cretive. because I think everyone on
that committee knows what the pur-
pose is' Weay er said.‘ It s a propo-
sal to disepnse condoms or not to
dispense condoms. "

But the task forces chairman.
SGA Senator at Large David Bot
kins. said the group's maiti purpose
is to study ways to prevent the
spread of sexually transmitted dis
cases and unwanted pregnancies
and return to the SGA senate with a
proposal.

David Allgood. SGA arts & sei-
ences senator. said the group‘s main
