LCC to continue

seeking new site

Assistant News Editor

Lexington Community College
officials want to pick up stakes and
move off campus, and the school‘s
new president said yesterday that
she will continue asking General
Assembly to pay the $25 million
price.

Janice N. Friedel said
in a press conference
that she, along with the
heads of UK’s 13 other
community colleges,
will be fighting to keep
her school's construc-
tion needs in the cur-
rently undecided state
budget.

Gov. Brereton Jones
has announced publicly
his intention to veto the
legislature‘s proposed
budget, which does not include
funding for LCC construction pro-
jects.

If he follows through, the legis-
lature may be forced into a special
session.

UK Community College Chan-
cellor Ben Carr, who attended the
press conference, said LCC and its
more than 5,000 students are
packed into buildings that have no

 

FRIEDEL

room to grow.

“We need to move LCC out to a
bigger place." he said, noting UK‘s
nearby campus restricts avenues for
expansion.

LCC already is leasing space on
Winchester Road to hold overflow
classes.

Carr said LCC is asking the leg-
islature for $13 million
this session and the re-
mainder in the next
budget If the funds
aren't available at that
time, he said, “we will
still keep asking for it."

Friedel also is inter-
ested in offering more
technical services at
LCC, including physi-
cal therapy assistant
training.

Carr said the pro-
gram should “fit right
in" with the proposed health-care
reform legislation the governor will
consider today.

The college‘s long-term ambi-
tions should be handled well by the
new president, Carr said, because
she has an extensive background in
strategic planning.

Office seekers
debate issues
in S GA race

 

By Stophon Trlmblo
Assistant News Editor

 

T.A. Jones demonstrated yester-
day at the Student Center Free
Speech Area that he could beat a
good rhythm on his asiko drum.

But during the discussions for
Student Government Association
presidential candidates sponsored
by the College of Law, Jones soon
found himself being beat upon by
audience members who questioned
the validity of his parking propo-
sals and asked why he was dropped
this year from the SGA executive
committee.

Four of the five candidates at-
tended the traditionally popular for-
urn. Only Krista Gibler and her
rtmning mate Eric Smith were ab-

sent from the discussion, which,

drew nearly 40 College of Law stu-
dents.

Jones, who appeared in hisusual
casual dress, with sunglassesmnd a
T-shirt, responded to criticism
about being dropped from SGA
leadership in January by saying: “I
quit long before I got kicked off
the board.”

Although he and SGA President

 

missal from SGA.

Jones also answered questions
about his parking ideas for next
year, which include building a six-
story parking structure outside
Commonwealth Stadium.

An audience member asked why
a parking structure would be need-
ed at that location.

The student said she has never
had any problems parking there
and suggested it would make more
sense to build a garage close to
Central Campus.

As an architecture student, Jones
said. he has studied the campus and
looked for an “aesthetically" pleas-
ing place for the structure. as well
as “geologically possible" site.

Candidate Misty Weaver said a
parking structure‘s location “needs
to be realistic."

Juniors next year will be paying
for a place to park
that they will nev-
er see, Weaver
said, and alterna-
tives need to be
sought immediate-
ly.

She proposed a
bus service that

Warrington said he had no real

said it could be reduced by expand-

Ride program.

Scientist tries to lift lid
off of nature’s mysteries
in recap of flawed ideas

 

By John Abbott
Staff Writer

 

R. Ervin Taylor's speech on Car-
bon-l4 dating Tuesday night had a
very special visitor in the audience.

A imaginary little green man
with a purple hat.

“1 have a fervent belief that he's
there.” Taylor said.

“I think I‘m right, and you‘re all
wrong because I had a vision.

“But we‘re not talking about sci-
ence. are we?"

Taylor. a professor of anthropol-
ogy and director of the radiocarbon
laboratory at the University of Cal-
ifornia at Riverside, was using the
alleged extraterrestrial to make a
point about what good science is as
he spoke at the annual banquet of
Sigma Xi at the Hillary J. Boone
Faculty Center.

Science operates as if physical
reality constitutes the only reality,
Taylor said.

It assumes that there is a real,

physical world out there that can
be characterized and understood.

Scientific exploration is based
on experimental data that can be
verified by others.

insisting that there are little
green men in the room is not some-
thing that is veriflable and, there-
fore. isn't science. he said.

Scientific creationism “is the
great oxymoron of our time." Tay-
lor said.

“They want to say they’re scien-
tific when clearly they‘re not. They
want to play baseball with football
mics."

Metascience, or “bad science,"
does address questions that science
was designed to address. but there
has been a flaw in the methodolo-
gy, Taylor said.

The supposed phenomenon of
“cold fusion," which ultimately
was proved to be false, is an exam-
ple of metascience.

Pseudoscience, on the other
hand, doesn't address questions
that science was designed to ad-

dress.

The second half of his speech
dealt with Carbon~14 dating.

This process. which was devel-
oped by Willard Libby (who won a
Nobel Prize for it in 1960), uses the
rate of decay of a radioactive isoo
tope of wbon to determine when
an organism died.

Taylor admitted that Carbon-l4
dating is not completely accurate.
but by using other dating methods,
the numbers can be calibrated to
give true dates.

Further advances since its inven-
tion have made Carbon-l4 dating
more accurate and cheaper.

He noted three mysteries that
were solved by the use of Carbon-
14 dating.

The first was the Calaveras skull,
a human fragment supposedly re-
covered from a pit that dated back
to the Pliocene Era

intellectuals of the day accepted
that it was a Pliocene skull, al-
though local miners knew it to be a
fraud. Using Carbon-l4 dating, it
was shown that the skull was about
1,200 years old.

The second was the piece of
wood that Femand Navarra found
at the top of Mt. Ararat and claimed
to be part of Noah's Ark.

“At least once a year for the last
40 years, someone has found
Noah‘s Ark," he said.

This alleged ark shard was dated
independently by a number of re-
search labs and found to be about
1,200 years old as well.

His third example was the legen-
dary Shroud of Turin. a piece of
linen that many have claimed is the
burial shroud of Jesus Christ.

Although even the Church de-
clared the shroud a fraud as early as
the 14th century, speculation about
its origin has persisted through the
years.

Carbon-l4 dating showed it to be
about 700 years old.

“It‘s a good idea," McDavid

Ad questioning the Holocaust
draws fire for university paper

 

By Wlll Lester
Associated Press

 

CORAL GABLES, Fla — A
wealthy benefactor threatened to
withdraw his $2 million donation to
the University of Miami after the
school newspaper ran an advertise-

ment questioning the Holocaust

About 400 students tore up cop-
ies of Tuesday‘s paper at a campus
protest. and Jewish leaders in Mia-
mi criticized University President
Edward “Tad" Foote for allowing
the ad to appear in The Miami Hur-
ricane.

Foote said the free speech rights
of the student editors outweighed
his reservations about the ad.

At a university, “if we err, we
should err on the side of freedom
of thought," he said.

“it's a bad decision," said eye-
wear tycoon Sanford Ziff, who
had planned to give 32 million to
an art gallery and a cancer re-
search center at the school.

"I‘he donation is on hold and
whether or not it will ever happen
is in question. There would have
to be a reconsideration, an apolo-
gy. Tad Foote should reconsider
his priorities."

The ad was placed by California
writer Bradley R. Smith under the
headline “A Revisionist Challenge
to the US. Holocaust Memorial
Museum." It contends the museum
in Washington offers no proof of
genocide using of gas chambers.

'I'headhasruninabout25stu-

tucky Kemel. have rejected the ad.

A legacy ofswindlers

Greed, corruption mar
Ky. polities, Smith says

 

By Ayene Blelr
Staff Writer

Politiml commentator Al Smith
said Tuesday that Kentucky‘s his-
tory is rife with public corruption
and greed.

“Politicians have been stealing in
Kentucky ever since we swindled
the land from Daniel Boone,"
Smith said during a campus ad-
dress on the history and future of
politics in Kentucky.

Smith. who hosts and produces
the weekly Kentucky Educational
Television program “Comment on
Kentucky,” suggested that Ken-
tuckians should begin electing
proven leaders to office rather than
relying on “rich amateurs."

He also said the role of the lieu-
tenant governor has become obsc-
lete.

 

“They get two million dollars to
play with, cat chicken and de-

nounce (their) incumbents," Smith
said during his speech at the Stu-
dent Center.

Giving hope to the future of poli-
tics in Kentucky, Smith assured au-
dienee members that Kentucky can
“bounce back front the brink just in
time."

Smith also talked about the histo-
ry of state politics, saying that to-
day‘s public figures have no under-
standing of the past.

He praised the politics of past
governors like A.B. “Happy" Chan-
dler and explained that the impres-
sion young people have of him
does not reflect his political stature
of the l930s.

Smith described him as “vigor-
ous, charming and capable."

During that decade, Smith said.
Chandler was such an intimidating
man that “parents would scare their
children to obey by saying Chan-
dler will come and get you."

Arab-Israeli conflict
breaks lovers’ hearts

 

By Karin Laub
Associated Press

HAIFA, Israel —- Adel, an Arab
man, and Ahuva, a Jewish woman,
simply wanted to love each other.
But the bloody conflict between
their peoples wouldn‘t leave them
alone.

Ahuva Cohen Onallah, 37 and
two months pregnant, is fighting
for her life in a Haifa hospital after
a Muslim teen-ager with revenge
in his heart blew up a car next to
her at a bus stop last week.

The blast tore off her right leg

arms and burned most of her body.

gether."

Onallah met Ahuva six years
ago. She, a pretty redhead, worked
as a bank clerk in a farming town
in northern Israel. He, a snappy
dresser with salt-and-pepper
moustache, passed through one
day to check the bank‘s comput-
ers. They fell in love.

At the time, both were married.
She had three children and he a
pregnant wife. Both divorced and
within a year moved in together.

The couple was welcomed by
Onallah’s family and had Jewish
and Arab friends. he said. But
Onallah said his wife's family cut
her off.

Smith also commended the ef-
forts of another past Kentucky gov-
ernor. Bert Combs. Smith said that
although Combs was rather young
when he ran for office, he was very
honest

Unlike past govemors, (Tombs
protested that he would have to tax
Kentuckians because there was not
enough money in the treasury to
make all of the reforms he wished
to implement, Smith said.

Smith also analyzed more recent
leaders of the state. like (iov. John
Y. Brown Jr., whom he described
as having the “first modem-media
gubernatorial campaign" and being
a “rich amateur."

Gov. Martha Lane Collins and
her “old politics“ machine, Smith
said, resulted in some positive de-
velopments for the state, including
the start of Kentucky's education
reform effort and the decision by
Toyota officials to locate an auto-
motive plant in Scott County.

UK police say they are winding
down their investigation into the
misappropriation of funds by for-
mer associate director of Resi-
dence Life Jim Ploskonka.

But, “to this point, no action
has been taken." Vice President
for University Relations Joe
Burch said yesterday.

UK Police Chief W. H. McCo-
mas added that the investigation
will conclude “shortly."

“’l‘hey referred us the audit, and
we‘ve been investigating."
McComas said. “We‘re close to
being finished, but we have a few
more things to do."

Ploskonka resigned from his
position the day before the UK
Office of lntemal Audits made
public a report detailing the mis-
use of money in Residence Life
accounts. Both Ploskonka and
Bob (flay, former director of Res-
idence Life, who committed sui-
cide on Dec. 1, were implicated
in the report.

 

After resigning, Ploskonka of-
fered to make restitution for the
missing funds, but UK officials
seemed uncertain if Ploskonka has
done so already.

Chancellor for the Lexington
Campus Robert Hemenway said
the University's legal counsel, Paul
VanBooven, and Ploskonka have
negotiated an agreement.

Hemenway said he could not re-
spond, however, to whether any
restitution has been made yet.

Ploskonka declined to comment
on the matter.

Meanwhile, UK administrators
have attempted to improve the fi-
nancial policies of Residence Life
to prevent future misuse.

“Everything has been changed,“
Hemenway said. “We've made
sure that nobody will create any ad
hoc accounts.“

Vice Chancellor of Student Af-
fairs Jim Kuder explained several
of the changes that will put more
stringent standards on Residence
Life‘s financial dealings.

“Any fee Residence Life wishes
to charge in the future will have to

Investigation of Ploskonka,
Residence Life Winds down

go through the chancellor," Kud-
er said.

In a memo Kuder sent to He-
menway in February, he outlined
his strategy for tightening Resi-
dence Life operations.

The memo, dated Feb. 14,
states that the chancellor's office
should approve all fees charged
to students before they go into
effect. Accounts set up for many
student organizations, including
the Student Goverrunent Associ-
ation and the Residence Hall As-
sociation, also will come under
closer scrutiny, the memo said.

Long-term measures include
cash handling training, more fre-
quent budget meetings between
Kuder and unit heads and more
frequent Residence Life audits.

UK auditor Les Dawson said
the proposals indicate a commit-
ment to improving the office.

Residence Life has completed
the first stage of a nationwide
search for a new director. The
application deadline was yester-
day. The number of applicants
was not available at press time.
