Students gear up
for lobbying efforts

By JAY BLANTON
Executive Editor

Kentucky is facing its bleakest fi-
nancial period in recent memory,
according to Ed Carter, UK vice
president for administration.

But Carter told the 26 students
who showed up for an organizational
meeting of Student Advocates for
Higher Education yesterday that
they can make a difference.

“It‘s going to be tough,“ Carter
said. “I‘ve been in this business for
26 years“ and the budget that Ken-
tucky Gov. Wallace Wilkinson is
supposed to present this month “will
be the most shocking in recent histo-
ry.“

Yesterday‘s meeting in 245 Stu-
dent Center was to organize UK's
student lobbying efforts with the
General Assembly this semester.

Carter, who was asked to outline
for SAFE members what UK needs
in terms of state dollars, told stu-
dents there were several things they

could do when trying to convince
legislators that higher education
needs more funding.

First, students can stress the posi-
tive aspects about UK. the adminis—
trator said. Student quality
through selective admissions — con-
tinues to improve.

In addition, UK has a quality fac-
ulty and the University has been na-
tionally recognized as one of the
leading research institutions in the
country, Carter said.

“Don’t worry about new facts"
about UK, Carter said “Explain the
positive."

And the positive is exactly what
students saw in yesterday‘s SAFE
meeting.

SGA Senator at Large David Bot-
kins said he was pleased with the
turnout at the first meeting.

“The people that we have com-
mitted to this effort are top-notch
people," said Botkins, who heads up
SGA’s lobbying efforts.

SGA Executive

Director Ken

LYNNE HUNT

Walker said he wished that more
students could have shown up for
the meeting yesterday, but he ex-
pects a lot of students to get in-
volved in lobbying for higher educa-
tion.

“I‘m sure most students will
agree that what‘s best for the Uni-
versity is best for them," Walker
said.

Plans to commercialize
Student Center delayed

By JAY BLANTON
Executive Editor

Concern about complaints from
local businesses have put plans for
limited commercialization of the UK
Student Center on hold until the end
of the Kentucky General Assembly
session in April.

Student Center Director Frank
Harris wanted to start sending out
invitations for bids on leased space
in the center soon.

But Harris has decided to hold off
because he is concerned that local
businesses might complain of unfair
competition and try to introduce leg~
islation prohibiting commercializa~
tion.

The Student Activities Board in
October unanimously recommended
limited commercialization of the
center —— with a drugstore. dry
cleaner and fast—food restaurant top-

Pregame seminars increase attendance

By MATT STAHL
Contributing Writer

UK did more than just play foot-
ball on Saturdays this past fall. It
also conducted a program called
Saturday Seminars — a way for the
general public to attend one-day
courses of varying topics before UK
football games.

The program began in 1986 and,
according to figures released by the
University. it has already doubled
its outreach.

More than 1,000 visitors attended

the 15 sessions of the 1987 Saturday
Seminars, said Phil Greasley, direc-
tor of the UK Center at Fort Knox
and coordinator for the seminars.
Total attendance reached 501 for the
16 sessions in 1986.

"We are tremendously pleased
with the response to the Saturday
Seminars,“ said Art Gallaher, chan-
cellor of the Lexington campus.
“They give our faculty the opportu-
nity to explain to non-experts some
of the exciting research projects un-
derway."

Statistics from the 1986 seminar

indicated that people came from
about 40 Kentucky communities, and
Greasley said he expects that num—
ber to rise in the future.

Ann Garrity. assistant to the chan-
cellor. said an advertising campaign
about the program and its track re-
cord of quality presentations by UK
faculty contributed to the success of
the seminar.

“We extended advertising into the
state through the agriculture exten-
sion office and radio spots,“ Garrity
said. “And we felt people would be

interested in coming once they knew
about it.“

The largest attendance for a sin;
gle Saturday Seminar was Nov. 21
-— UK‘s final home football game —
when UK archaeologist William
Adams and his wife, Nettie. told 188
people about recent digs on the Nile.

“We built on the success of the
first year, with input from all see-
tors of the University — Lexington
campus. Medical Center and the
community college system,“ Greas-
ley said.

Honor society seeking membership applicants

By JULIE ESSELMAN
Staff Writer

The Membership Committee of
honor society Phi Beta Kappa is
seeking nominations of students,
alumni and leading citizens for in-
duction into its membership.

Phi Beta Kappa was formed in
1776 and has had a chapter estab-
lished at UK since the late 192th.

It is “the oldest, most prestigious
honor society maybe in the world,
certainly in the US.“ said Ray Cox,

chairman of the committee. “It's a
way of illustrating (people) who
have done very well academically.“
Candidates for the society are di-
vided into two main groups: “mem-
bers in course,” who are current un-
dergraduate and graduate students,
and alumni and honorary members.

To be eligible for membership,
students must have:

o a minimal cumulative grade
point average of 3.5

0 have completed at least two 400
or 500 level courses outside their
principle area of concentration

0 have completed at least 90 hours
of work in liberal courses night by
the College of Arts I: Sciences

0 have satisfied the lower division
requirements for either the bachelor

greeintheCollegeofArtslrSci-
ences

cifobtainimabachelorofgener-

al studies degree, have satisfied the
foreign language requirement

. and have completed at least 45
hours of work on the Lexington cam-
pus.

“Phi Beta Kappa is certainly the
best known of all academic honor
societies,“ said Nancy Dye, asso-
ciate dean of Arts a. Sciences. Be-
cause of that reputation and its age,
the organization “commands more
attention" than other academic hon-
oraries. she said.

"it‘s slanted toward a sort of clas-
sical, liberal arts type study," Cox
said. “it has nothing to do with ex-
tracurricular activities . . . only aca-
demic credentials. distribution of
classes and certain munber of liber-
al (arts)ciasses.”

Alumni candidates should have

connection with UK," according to
the Membership Committee.

“We invite nominations from fac-
ulty, students at large — anyone
who thinks they know someone who
is qualified.“ Cox said. Self-nomi-
nations are also welcome.

The initial nomination form re-
quires only the candidate‘s name.
address and major. Application
packets will then be sent out or can-
didates can pick one up.

Final decisions will be made by
the Membership Committee and the

ping the list of preferences for com-
mercialized services.

Although commercialization would
need approval from the Board of
Trustees, Vice Chancellor for Ad-
ministration Jack Blanton said that
with the administration‘s endorse-
ment commercialization probably
won‘t have much problem getting
passed.

The University has already re-
ceived several complaints from
small businesses about possible
commercialization of the center.
Blanton said. UK is examining the
complaints closely.

In addition, a proposal was made
during a December meeting of the

state Task Force on Small Business-
es to reintroduce a bill from the 1986
General Assembly.

The bill, if enacted. would have
prohibited state agencies from
"competing with private enterprise
unless the agency . . . can demon-
strate that there is an overriding or
compelling public interest served"
by such competition.

Whether that legislation would
apply to universities leasing out
space would have to be a matter of
interpretation. Harris said. As far as
he is concerned, what the University
is proposing is not “contrary to the
legislature."

According to Harris and bill status
clerks in Frankfort. no legislation to
that effect has been introduced at
this time.

But if legislation concerning un-
fair business competition comes to

Gov. Wilkinson leaning
toward Dukakis in race

By MARK R. (‘IIELLGREN
Associated Press

FRANKFURT ——- Two of the con»
tenders for the Democratic presi-
dential nomination are leaning hard
on Kentucky Gov. Wallace Wilkinson
for his endorsement, but Wilkinson
said yesterday he is still undecided.

Tennessee Sen. Albert Gore Jr.
called Wilkinson twice yesterday to
solicit his support. and Massachu-
setts Gov. Michael Dukakis made
his pitch during a call on Sunday.

Wilkinson said he was concerned
about Gore's recent comments about
the federal tobacco program and
wanted clarification.

Gore said during the weekend he
opposes any federal subsidies for to-
bacco but supports the allotment
program.

it did not take Gore‘s supporters
long to respond. Less than an hour
after Wilkinson was asked about the
matter during a news conference
yesterday afternoon, members of
Gore's staff were on the phone ex-
plaining that the senator is in favor
of the current price-support pro-
gram as long as it remains self-sup.

mind.

thought to be in Gore's corner but

kakis. That prompted a visit from
the Tennessee senator last week.

Wilkinson said he likes Dukakis‘s
idea to build coalfired power plants
in the mine fields and export the
power. "His answer to me was dead
perfect." Wilkinson said yesterday.

The governor met With his own
county campaign chairmen last Fri-
day to discuss the matter and most
of the organization people said they
would follow Wilkinson‘s lead in the
presidential contest.

“I'm going to decide on what‘s ba-
sically best for Kentucky." Wilkin-
son said

New sandwich named after
Lexington radio personality

By (‘YNTHIA LEWIS
Contributing Writer

Frank Faulconer has been many
things in his life — a television
weatherman, the voice on many
commercials and current radio
weatherman for WKQQ-FM. But
now Faulconer is something most
people never become — a sandwich.

“My tastebuds say delicious with
a capital D.“ Faulconer said of the
new submarine sandwich named in
his honor at the Sub Center on Ash
land Avenue.

“The Faulconer," the new subma-
rine, had its premiere Wednesday
morning on the radio station‘s
“Kruser and Kelli Morning Show.“
The show was broadcast live from
theSub Center.

it all began after Kentucky Con-
gressman Larry Hopkins called
WKQQ and said that he had gotten a
US. naval submarine named after
Lexington.

WKQQ DJs Dave Krusenklaus and
Kelli Gates (Kruser and Kelli) then
made their pitch to Sub Center Man-
ager David Kacmarcik to name a

submarine of a different sort after
the station's weather man.

“Kruser asked where I worked
and i told him the Sub Center,“ Kac-
marcik said. “He said that there
ought to be a submarine named
after Faulconer. i talked to Vandee,
the store's owner. I took some subs
out to the station and told them that
we were looking into it.“

She went for the idea.

“I think it‘s great," Vandee said.
“We decided to put everything
Frank is on the sandwich — the
ham. the turkey and the cheese.“

Around 9 am. Gates went out on
the street handing out free samples
of “The Faulconer“ to people
stopped at the traffic light or jmt
walking down the street.

”Frank just loves this. He‘s fan-
tastic." Gates said. “We like to
think of it as ‘The Man, the Myth,
the Sandwich.‘ “ she said.

“it evolved from a joke. We never
expected it to go anywhere. We were
excited. These people have been
wonderful in helping us out."

Bush and Hart dominate Kentucky’s fund raising

Associated Press

LOUISVILLE — Kentuckians gave
$500,000 to presidential candidates in
the early stages of the campaigns
and favored Vice President George
Bush with more than half of it.

Bush tapped bluebloods in Louis—
ville and Lexington and a statewide
array of coal operators, profession-
als and business people to raise
$291,098 through Sept. 30. according
to a search of federal records re-
ported by The Courier-Journal yes-
terday.

Bush's chief rival for the Republi-
can nomination. Senate Minority
Leader Robert Dole of Kansas,
tapped Kentucky for $99,057 and was

the apparent favorite in the cor-
porate offices of Ashland Oil. Hu-
mana and Capital Holding.

The most successful Democrat
was former Colorado Sen. Gary
Hart. He raised nearly $43.01», al-
most all of it in early 1986 when Dr.
Bill Collins, husband of then-Gov.
Martha Layne Collins, collared state
officials, business people and engi-
neersonHart’s behalf.

As of Oct. 1, Tennessee Sen. Al~
bert Gore Jr. and Missouri Rep.
Richard Gephardt, both Democrats,
were the only other candidates still
running who had sufficient support
in Kentucky to use the state to qual-

had raised $23,441 and Gephardt
$19,150.

A candidate must raise at least
$5,000 in gifts of $250 or less from in-
dividuals in each of 20 states to qual-
ify for matching money.

Republican Congressman Jack
Kemp of New York had received
nearly $6,000 through Sept. 30 but re-
ported only nine Kentucky contribu-
tors.

All the other presidential aspi—
rants had minimal financial backing
in Kentucky through the first nine
months of 1987, according to the
computer service WashingtonOn-
Line, which collects and sorts data

dates submit to the Federal Election
Commission.

The Bush-Dole competition for
money dominated the Kentucky
fund-raising picture.

Starting early and presenting him-
self as Ronald Reagan’s true heir,
Bush locked up most of the state
GOP’s establishment.

Through his longtime friend Will
Parish of Versailles, a transplanted
Texan. Bush raised what appears to
be more than $50,000 from Lexing-
ton-area horsemen and their depen-
dents. Bush reported 288 contribu-
tors statewide.

Dole had only 89 Kentucky con-
tributors, but they tended to give

Committee, Dole is someone many
Kentucky btisiriess executives clear-
ly do not want to offend.

The contest prompted some af-
fluent GOP contributors to hedge
their bets and give to both men, as
was the case with Louisville bankers
A. Steven Miles Jr. and Frank B.
flower Jr. and horseman Warner L.
Jones Jr.

Both Bush and Dole, but especial-
ly Dole, used their personal political
action committees to attract large
contributions from wealthy Kentuck-
tans.

OPlans for commercialization of Student Center put on hold for now

Continued from Page I

fruition, students at UK are already
preparing to lobby against it.

SGA Senator at Large David Bot-
kim said that if the legislation is in-
troduced. students would protest the
bill to each member of the commit-
tee considering the legislation.

“There's been overwhelming sup-
port for limited commercializtion,"
said Botkins, who heads SGA’s lob-
bying effort. “We intend to be very
aggressive in our lobbying efforts."

The delay in sending out bid invi-
tations will put back commercializa-
tion plans about four months, Harris
said.

she still hoped businesses could be
in the Student Center on schedule
next fall.

But for now, supporters of com-
mercialization are having to play
the waiting game — something they
should be used to.

Commercialization has been pro-
moted as a way to help cure the Stu-
dent Center's financial woes for the
last two years.

In the past two years the Student
Center has had to cut back on hours
and totally eliminate services on
Sunday.

Annex was reopened on Sunday af-
ternoonsand evenings

A survey in 1986 showed that the
majority of UK students favored
commercialization as a way to help
the ailing center. And last April
Blanton gave initial approval to sev-
eral recommendations aimed at im-
proving the Student Center.

Most significant among those rec-
ommendations was placing a new
student center on the five-year plan
and having limited commercializa-
tion of the existing center.

And Harris said he doesn't want to

lature to stir up complaints about
commercialization.

Harris said that the plan to com-
mercialize the center would not be
unfair competition because UK
would be leasing out the space to
businesses — not providing the serv-
ices itself.

“I understand small business peo-
ple‘s attitude” about commercializa-
tion, Harris said. At the same time.
the University has the got the right
to provide the services.

SGA President Cyndi
agreed, saying that “it's really
silly" to consider commercialization

Weaver

UK “can‘t have relations with
commercial entities and not have
competition come into play," she
said.

Harris said complaints about com—
mercializing university student cen-
ters are not new.

When the University of South Car-
olina tried to place a shopping mall
in its student center a little more
than three years ago, it ran into
similar problems.

Don Miles, director of business
services at USC, said one particular
property owner in Columbia com-

would be unfair competition with
private business sectors.

Today. the student center at USC
has about 13 stores and has become
a welcome addition to university
life. he said.

But while students and officials
connected with the UK Student Cen-
ter say that in this case it's better to
be safe than sorry and wait, they
admit that having to put plans on
hold is frustrating.

Hunt said “it‘s extremely frustrat-
ing" to put plans on hold at this
stage.

"No one really knows what's going

SAB President Lynne Hunt said Last March, the Student Center “wave any red flags" in the legis- unfaircompetition. plained that commericialization on."
