The New Year

Ythere

Some ramblings about
this whole new
millennium thing.

Think about this for a
second - the
government made all
of these warnings
about how bad the
Y2K virus was going
to be. To fix this
imminent problem,
they spent millions of
dollars to solve all
the problems in the
computer program
codes. 50 what
happened when there
was no problem. the
government claimed
that all the money
achieved its goal.
Yippee! Evidently,
they did such a good
job they fixed the
rest of the world's
Y2K problems too.
There has to be two
guys in some little
office laughing their
ass off about the
world's biggest
prank.

The start of the new
millennium. I can't
wait. I give all the
newspapers a couple
of months before
they start promoting
the actual new
millennium
celebration. That
whole no year zero
and everything.

Best celebration of the
New Year - the Wal-
Mart parking lot in a
small nameless town
in Kentucky — or so
I've been told.

Where did that bridge
thing go between the
old library? Must
have not been Y2K
compliant or
something.

What is going on behind
CB? Is this some pen
where we are going
to round up all the
freshmen like we did
last year? (If you are
trying to remember
when that was, you
take this column
way too seriously!)

Dick Clark looks ageless
enough to be in the
Hall of Presidents
down in Disney
World.

Too bad our celebration
got put to shame by
the one in Paris. The
Eiffel tower never
looked so good!

Champagne is at every
store you visit due to
an excess. So much
for making hundreds
off of my bottle of
Dom. lt tasted good
none the less.

uition revenue down, leads to budget woes

By Mark Vanderhofl
EDITOR 1N CHIEF

By John Wampler
SPECIAL SECTIONS EDITOR

The Office of Management and Budget
has reported a $4 million budget shortfall
for the period of fall 1998 to fall 1999. after
revenue from tuition fell short of expecta-
tions.

Enrollment at UK’s Lexington Campus
and Medical Center was down by 652 stu~
dents. said Ed Carter. vice president of

management and budget. Both in-state and
out-of-state enrollment was down, he said.

Chancellor Elizabeth Zinser said one
factor contributing to the loss of tuition
revenue was the decrease in out-ofstate
enrollment that might be a result of the 2o
percent increase in out~of—state tuition that
occurred over the past two years. Another
factor may be increased efforts by other
states to retain students who might other-
wise attend UK. she said.

Carter will present a plan to deal with
the shortfall to the Board of Trustees on
January 25. His office began developing
the plan after realizing in the fall that pre
liminary enrollment numbers were down.

The plan absorbs the impact of the
budget shortfall by reducing what (‘arter
called onetime expenditures. such as ren-
ovations and equipment purchases.

"These are things that when you get
into a situation like this you just don't do."
he said.

Boyd Haley. head of UK‘s chemistry
department. said the shortfall created a )0
percent cut in his department‘s operating
budget.

In part. this means that they will not
be able to provide the service or hire the
part-time help needed to keep the depart-
ment's grant-funded research projects run—
ning smoothly. he said.

Zinser said one concern of the admin
istration was that the cuts created by the
shortfall not affect students adversely. In
some cases. the number ofconr..e sections
will have to be cut. but section sizes will be
increased temporarily to accommodati-
students needing the course to graduate.

To additionally offset the shortfall.
fewer part—time staff will be hired and cer-
tain vacancies will not be filled. However.
there will be no layoffs or discontinuation
of positions. Zinser said.

Zinsct‘ has worked with the college
deans to create a fair way to cut depart
ments' budgets and deal with the problems
created by the shortfall.

Moving up: New engineering building to
improve research, standing among
benchmark universities

By Tracy Kershaw
Assasrxur frws [DITOR

Kiss goodbye the days of lounging in the grassy field in
front of White Hall Classroer Building and say hello to a new
mechanical engineering building soon to be built in that very
spot.

“The new state~of-the-art facility will help bring UK one
step closer to achieving Top 20 research status." said Sharon
Townsend. director of development for the College of Engineering.

The building will aid both graduate students and lab work.

“In the new building. graduate students and faculty will
have more laboratory space for research." Townsend said. “The
more lab space. you have. the more effectively will you be able
to do research."

Currently. the College of Engineering is spread among four
buildings.

“The new facility will enable the college to consolidate."
Townsend said.

The building will boost the engineering program's rank
among their 17 benchmark schools.

“Size is an important factor of the stature of an engineering
program nationally. The building will put our engineering pro-
gram on a level playing field with our benchmark schools." said
Tom Lester. dean of mechanical engineering.

The facility is not an inexpensive endeavor.

“$19.6 million came from state funds and $5.2 million from
private donors,“ Lester said. “The private funds are a part of a
campaign for the university. A relatively small number of
alumni and corporations made donations toward the comple-
tion of the building."

Groundbreaking for the building is planned for Feb. 25, but
excavation will most likely be underway by then. Lester said.

"Completion of the project is expected in January 2002.“
said Ken Clevidence. senior director of procurement and con-
struction.

Until then, Clevidence hopes students will excuse the mess.

“This will be a two year project that will make the campus
hard to get around." he said.

“It will be difficult for a while. but in the end it will be
worth it."

Better UK communications ahead

By Tracy Kerstin

ASSlSTANT NEWS EDITOR

L'K's plan to bulldoze into the top 20 of
research universities in the nation first re-
quires a little bulldozing on campus.

The new communications and network
facility on the corner of Maxwell and Rose
Street is yet another project under con»
struction that will aims to boost UK's rank
among research universities.

"The brand new laboratories and grad-
uate teaching space in the new building
can help UK achieve top 20 status." said
Doyle P‘riskney. associate vice president of
information systems.

The second floor has space for both
electrical engineering and computer sci-
ence graduate student and faculty research.

"The major goal of the computer sci-
ence department is research." said Mirek
Truszczymski. chairman of the computer
science department. "But we have exper-
tise in networking so we work with cam-
pus communications.“

The facility will house offices for the
communications department. visiting fac-
ulty. corporate partners and offices and
labs for science and electrical engineering
staff. Friskney said.

The two-story building will also in-
clude a UTE Solutions Center.

“The UTE Solutions (‘enter is more
like a conference room for visiting faculty
and engineering folks to get together to
work together on applied technology."
Friskney said.

Some existing departments on campus

are relocating to the building.

The Network Engineering Operations
(‘enter will move from McVey Hall to the
coinmtinications and network facility. said
Penny Cox. planning and budget director
for information systems.

The structiu'e. expected to open in June
2000. is named for Dr. James F. Hardymon. a
former Board of Trustees member. Cox said.

“He contributed over $1.2 million to
this building.‘ she said.

The location is ideal for reaching out
to the community. said Ken Clevidence. se
nior director for procurement and con-
struction.

"This location is a combination of an
outreach to the community and internal
computing network services." he said.

M. |. King Library to hold Music/Art Libraries

By Casey Hamilton
CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The Margaret 1. King Library will have
a new look and new name for the Spring se-
mester.

The old library will become the Lucille
Caudill Little Fine Arts Library and Learn-
ing Center. said Gail Kennedy. team leader
for the Fine Arts Library.

The art library. music library and inu-
sic listening center will move into the old
M. l. King Library. Currently. the music li-
brary and listening center are located in
the Fine Arts building. while the art li-
brary is located in MI. King Librarvaouth.

funds to renovate the MT King Library.
Kennedy said.

One librarian is happy about the move.

“The King library will provide us with
more room to use." said Paula Hicknen. a
music librarian.

By combining the libraries, the staff
hopes it can make it easier for students to
find information. They also hope they can
add more information with the extra room.

“We anticipate having the project done
over the summer." Kennedy said.

An additional change to the MI. King
Library has been made. The skywalk has
been taken down. not to be replaced again.

“About a year and a half ago we no
ticed that there were problems in its fouli-

deiit of fiscal affairs.

Since the MT. King Library is no
longer the primary library on campus.
many did not see a need in spending money
to replace the skywalk.

"At the time we took short-term efforts
that would keep the skywalk up for two to
three years." DeBin said.

“Eventually we knew we would have to
replace it and that could cost between $100-
200000." he said. “Since both buildings are
going to be converted into something else.
then we felt the money could have been bet—
ter spent.” DeBin said.

The school now plans to put up alu-
minum windows on the two buildings
where the skywalk was once connected.

“There will be a reconfig-
uration of Rose Street to inter-

said Dan Clark. associate di—
rector of procurement and

An intersection at Tran-

"I used to be able to cut

"We always wanted my
teams' programs to be a cut
above. where people look and
say. "l‘hat‘s a classy program."
said Newton. UK‘s 69-year-old
athletic director. When he re—
tires at the end of this June.
Newton may have accom-
plished just that.

After being hired in April
of 1989. Newton knew he would
have his hands full. The basket-
ball program was in the midst
of an NCA.A investigation for
academic fraud and recruiting
violations. awaiting the death-
call of two years of NCAA pro-
bation. That same year. the

turning for the 198990 season.
Newton needed a miraclework-
er. He found the closest thing
by courting coach Rick Pitino
from the NBA.

"From a competitive stand-
point. the key to my coming to
Kentucky was to have men’s
basketball succeed in a short
period of time." Newton said.
"The catalyst was Rick Pitino
and all Kentuckians should
thank him for what he did.“

In its first season off proba-
tion. Newton watched Pitino
lead UK to the nation‘s elite. A
season later. UK was in the Fi~
nal Four. Two more Final
Fours would follow. with an
NCAA title in 1996 and a run—
ner-up showing in 1997 before
Pitino returned to the NBA to
take over the Boston Celtics.

As a replacement. Newton
hired Tubby Smith. the school's
first African-American men‘s
basketball coach. who went on
to win UK's seventh national ti-
tle in 1998.

Stunning the college foot-
ball world. Newton hired Hal
Mumme from Division II Val-

dosta State in 1996 to take over
UK s shambled football pro-
gram. The offensiveminded
Mumme has since turned Sat-
urday afternoons into a form of
entertainment. taking UK to
bowl games in 1998 and 1999.
Having reclaimed the fans' in-
terest. Newton oversaw an ex:
pansion of Commonwealth Sta-
dium in which 10.000 seats and
luxury boxes were added.

“I know it‘s a love affair
from my perspective," Newton
said. "I hope that‘s mutual."

Newton‘s commitment to
excellence doesn't stop at UK's
top two revenue sports. He
hired Bernadette Mattox as
women‘s basketball coach in
1995. Mattox has since put the
women's program on the map.
Last season. the former Pitino
assistant led UK to a 2(iwin sea-
son and the NCAA tournament.
Even the men and women's soc-
cer teams have flourished un-
der Newton.

“The thing I‘m proudest of
is that I've always stayed ahead
of the posse." Newton said.

Now. as you glide swiftly
through a campus breeze. you
fully understand what Newton
has accomplished. lraceful
monarchs aren't born
overnight.

Students reap rewards of plasma donating

An important part of blood used to help treat some diseases helps some
students do a good deed and make a few extra bucks at the same time

it‘s the legacy of a college stu~
dent to be financially challenged.

People sell personal property
and it has become a collegiate past
time to sell plasma.

“It was good money for a good
cause." said Bridget Castle, a biolo-
gy senior.

Others agree.

“I did it when I needed money
for gas.“ said Rachel Mullins. a soci-
ology junior.

Even students from other areas
take advantage of the opportunity
and quick cash.

“When I'm in town visiting and
need some cash. it‘s a quick way to
replenish my funds." said Jarrod
Holbrook, a sociology senior from
Morehead State University.

Mike McMullen. manager of
Nabi Biomedical Center. said about
10 percent of plasma donors are stu—
dents.

Plasma is the liquid portion of
the blood that contains antibodies

that help to treat diseases such as
hemophilia and hepatitis.

Almost anyone can donate plas-
ma. but there are a few prerequi-
sites. In order to be a donor, you
must 18 years or ol
