Earl Fischer of Owensboro was elected chair of the Western Kentucky University Board of Regents for 1994-95 at the board's quarterly meeting on campus Aug. 15.
Fischer, president of Western Kentucky Gas Co., succeeds Bums Mercer of Hardinsburg, who had been chair since 1992. Peggy Loafman of Bowling Green, executive vice president of Trans Financial Bank, was elected vice chair.
"It has been absolutely outstanding that this board has jelled so well and has once again come together as a unit," Fischer said, adding that much of the credit for the board's success is due to Mercer's leadership.
Elizabeth Esters was re-elected secretary to the Board and James Ramsey, vice president for Finance and Administration, was re-appointed treasurer.
In other business, the board: • Administered the oath of office to three new regents. They included
Cornelius Martin of Bowling Green, who replaced Monnie Hankins of Louisville; Robert D. Evans Jr . of Owensboro, the student regent who replaces Donald Smith of Elizabethtown, and Joy Gramling of Scottsville, Western's first regent to be elected by the staff;
• Approved a proposal for a master of science program in nursing. The program would include options for generalist and nurse practitioner and would place Western in a leadership position in health care reform, according to Robert Haynes, vice president for Academic Affairs.
"The nurse practitioner is the future in the field of nursing in the United States and in the state of Kentucky and we think this institution needs to be positioned to take advantage of that change," Dr. Haynes said. "Health reform is one of the main items of the national agenda and we need to get our University positioned so we will be in the forefront of those reform movements."
The request must be approved by the Kentucky Council on Higher Education;
• Approved the creation of the Department of Allied Health and Human Services by merging Allied Health with the Social Work Programi
• Approved the creation of a University Distinguished Professorship to recognize outstanding faculty. To be eligible for the distinction, which lasts for five years and includes an annual stipend, the facul ty member must have been at Western at least 15 years and held the rank of professor for at least seven years; and
• Approved an agreement with the Western Kentucky University Foundation for fund raising and manag~ment of gifts and con tributions.

Meet Joy Gramling, Assistant Paint Supervisor, who was elected in June to serve a three-year term as the University's first staff
representative to the Board of Regents.
By Sheila Eison
Nearly everybody on campus knows Joy Gramling.
"If they've had their offices painted, J've probably met them," says the Assistant Paint Supervisor in Facilities Management who is WKU's first staff member to join the University's Board of Regents.
The 43-year-old single mom has been a member of Western's staff for the past 16 years, and in a runoff election in June, was voted by the University's staff members their top choice from among 14 candidates to represent them on the University's governing board.
A very familiar pleasant face on campus accompanied always by friendly conversation, Gramling has earned a reputation of being first rate, both with people and on the job.
While working at WKU, she's completed a two-year degree in general studies, and is a senior, going six hours a semester for her bachelor's degree in general studies with an emphasis in technology, she says proudly, a real believer in educa tion and in continuing education for better job performance.
"My courses have helped me on the job," she says, indicating taking an ind ustrial psychology class helped her as a supervisor learn more about performance appraisals, and safety courses which have helped with her work.
Gramling also served on the WKU ~omen's Alliance Advisory Comnuttee to the President from 1991-93 and currently is on the group's membership committee.
It could have been her visibility
Joy Gramling
~hich made her the top choice, or It may have been Gramling's platform that won her the seat to speak for her colleagues, but one thing's for sure: she has definite ideas about what she wants to accomplish during her three-year term as a Staff Regent.
Getting around campus like she does meeting the people whose offices and classrooms she paints has given her perspective, Gramling says, which in tum gets to the heart of what she believes to be the key to a successful University:
"What the staff does on a dayto-day basis ties everything else together at the University, and keeps the place running," she says, adding:
"All of us, whether we're faculty or staff, have to keep things conducive to learning." Gramling says since her job's painting, she takes seriously getting classrooms and offices in shape for people to be productive.
And if in large measure her success rests on getting along with people and in getting people to go along, she's got what it takes. While a new coat of paint makes an office pretty, it sometimes ta kes hanging from high ladders and scaffolds to get it done. She can be tough when she needs to be.
"Whether it's doing paperwork for students in the financial aid office, or me painting, there are zillions of things staff members do every day to keep this operation running.
"All of this is tied closely to the
6
academic world because students can't learn in an environment wi th plaster falling off the walls and old painLsomeone has to fix that to make a better situtation for them to learn in.
"I want to see us at Western become a community where we make it as comfortable as pOSSible for students to get an education:' she says.
Community spirit Gramling also knows a lot about.
Four years living in a communal household in the early seventies was a part of that experience, and anybody around these parts is familiar with the legendary Flying Frog Farm, which still has an annual hoe-down and square dance, now a 23-year-old tradition in Allen County.
Gramling is actually a native of Baltimore, and caught up in the protest movement of the late sixties as a college student, she marched in Washington, eventually moving wi th 11 friends to their Kentucky farm to get "back to the land, which was the thing back then," she says.
"That was an experience I'd never trade," she added. Gramling now lives with her sons, Cotton, 20, and Will, 14, on their farm, and they raise a cash crqp of hay each year and have several cattle.
"As a matter of fact, the night before the forum back in June, I'd been working late putting up hay.
I was really tired that next day _ ___ _ when I spoke to the staff," she says. Photos
Then, remembering those days Scott Rey
when she marched on Washington as rea l learning experiences, Gramling sa id more:
"Getting along with people on the streets of Washington was something I will never forget . I can't begin to describe the feeling of power I would get from the

)plevvith oy __ -,mere presence of the crowd.
,y :>Ids
"There was never a time, even during some of the really large protests, that I ever felt afraid of
the police, or of the helicopters which hovered overhead.
"It made me realize that people are a powerful force, that as a group they can have a very loud voice, and that they can be heard.
"We're the people who keep this University running, and I
think I have a good feel for where the people are coming from," Gramling says.
Her campaign platform put emphasis upon communication and cooperation.
A printed flyer illustrated a pieshaped graph illustrating the diversity of Western's staff, and Gramling emphasized:
liThe staff regent will need all the help available to represent the whole staff fairly.
"I've been told this (being staff regent) will be an impossible job because of the diversity and the sheer number of staff (840) 1 will represent," she says.
"The faculty are perhaps a more similar group, people w ith degrees and similar goals of teaching and publishing, but staff members are d ivided among professional non-faculty, secretarial and clerical, skilled crafts, technical paraprofessionals and service maintenance people," says Gramling, running her hand across her head, beads of perspiration suddenly appearing on her face.
"That's why I want to hear from everybody," she continues, saying one of her goals is to "see the staff have its own organization, because our strength lies in joining together as a group. As staff regent, I welcome the opportunity to work with any group ... such as a Staff Congress or
Staff Senate .. .! want to hear from everybody and I encourage people to get in touch with me," she says, adding forums are a good way for people to have a voice.
"I want to thank everyone who supported me."
7
Gramling says she also sees a main job of staff regent "to push for competitive salaries for the staff (especially for those on the lower end of the pay scale) and to improve and maintain our benefits package."
Several years ago Gramling was part-of a group of employees, along with the Faculty Senate, who petitioned for changes in medical insurance options, and their efforts resulted in improvements in the University's benefits package.
"Insurance is a crucial issue, particularly to lower-paid employees," she says.
Gramling says she also wants to emphasize that she does not represent just the campus physical plant, but all staff employees.
"One staff member can't work miracles, but I am excited about the possiblity of giving the University's Board of Regents the perspective of a staff person. However, people have to work together, too, if we want to make things work."
Note: Staff may call Gramling and leave a message al 3253 (Facilities Management).

WKU's location on the information highway By Dr. Charles Anderson
Faculty and staff in Thompson Complex North Wing, Thompson Complex Central Wing, Environmental Science and Technology Hall, and Grise Hall will soon have their on ramps to the Western Information HighwayWKUNET. The Fishel Company of Cincinnati, Ohio submitted and excellent low bid and plans to begin construction in the near future with completion in approximately 90 days.
Design and specifications are near completion for Phase II of the wiring - Cherry Hall, Ivan Wilson, Academic Complex, Gordon Wilson and Garrett. Phase HI will include most remaining buildings. All wiring should be completed by the end of calendar year 1995.
Once the connection in an office and a classroom is complete and associated electronics (hubs) are installed, the individual user will have full access to WKUNET. WKUNET is up and running in its development stage in Wetherby and will soon be in Potter Hall. Services now available to users include an easy to use electronic mail (Lotus cc:Mail), a calendaring program which will also provide for easier scheduling of meetings, access to the Library's Topcat catalog, access to a stack of reference CD-ROMs in the Library, Internet including Mosaic access to World Wide Web servers which provide graphics and images, mainframe access to authorized
services including SIS and FRS, several applications packages including Lotus 1-2-3, Freelance Graphics and others for occasional users, and tutorials on several software packages.
This is only the beginning. The Library is exploring a pilot project which will provide local electronic access to the Federal Register and the Congressional Record. the Campus Wide Information System Committee will review the potential for other resources which maybe provided centrally or from an individual department.
The first phase of CD-ROM access will be added to the network within the next month as a cooperative project of University Libraries and the Technology and Telecommunications group. Eighteen CD-ROM reference works will be available in the first phase. The number is expected to grow to over 50 in the near future.
The student segment of WKUNET will debut during the fall semester. Work on some additional wiring required in 14
Tour Europe with the Choir! There will be space available for non-singing
participants to accompany the WKU Choir on its May 1995 Tour next Spring.
Dr. Gary McKercher, Assistant Professor of Music, has announced plans for the '95 Choir tour.
Stops will be in Belgium, France, Switzerland, Aus· tria and Germany from May 9 to 24_
The Choir will present approximately seven concerts In European cathedrals and churches_
Cost of the trip i.o $1782, and this includ .. air transportation, two meal. per day, hotel and private home stays and land tranaportatlon.
Deadline for the fitst deposit toward the trip i.o Sept. 1_ for information, call Dr_ Gal}' McKerdIer at 5915.

ha lls including Pearce-Ford should begin in September. Whenit is completed, students with microcomputers w ill access all of the services available from WKUNET in a lab - Internet, mainframes, E-Mail, etc. - from their rooms.
250 new Dell 486-66mHz microcomputers were purchased during the summer and will be
available in the Academic Computing general access labs in Helm, Thompson, Grise, STH and Cherry Hall. These new computers are upgradahle to pentium and provide the needed speed and memory for Windows and windows based applications. Most
of the labs also have access to Internet,
UniverSity Libraries, CD-ROM reference materials, and student's mainframe (IBM or V AX) accounts.
We are pleased with the technology team's accomplishments, but we are redoubling our efforts to accelerate progress. Our goal is universal network connectivity, defined in terms similar to universal healthcare, by the end of 1995. Other projects in the planning
stage include interactive voice response which will provide, among other capabilities, touch tone registration and voice mail-voice messaging.
While we concentrate on implementing access to today's technology wi th WKUNET, we are watching and exploring image transmission, multimedia production - Educational Television Services has already begun local production of multimedia with video elements - desktop video conferencing, and other development.
Much of the continuing impetus for Western's information technology will continue to come from software developers - Microsoft, Lotus, and others. However, when Western's basic infrastructure is complete, the most important developments will undoubtedly come from individual depart.ments and faculty as powerful, specialized software is acquired or developed and used in the classroom, labs, students rooms and eventually from off campus.
With all of the networking developments, the importance of training and assistance with computing applications is growing. The Microcomputing Sup· port Center will continue to schedule training sessions in basic (Windows and WordPerfect) and some more advance applications (Lotus 1·2-3, Freelance Graphics, etc.).

Reaping the rewards of friendship By Bob Skipper
When Dee Hooks created a sizable endowment for the forensics program at Western Kentucky University, it was just another in a long list of times she had crossed paths with forensics Director Judy
Woodring. Their relationship began years
ago in Providence, Ky., when Mrs. Woodring entered the 7th grade
and Mrs. Hooks became her speech teacher.
"Another teacher introduced her to me because I was the speech teacher and she though she might be interested in entering some of the speech events," Mrs. Hooks
recalled from her Bowling Green home. "She was more interested in debate and I was more interested in debate, too. She took over debate. She was a naturaL"
Mrs. Hooks remained Mrs. Woodring's teacher and forensics
coach throughout high school, encouraging Mrs. Woodring to go on to college.
"I probably wouldn ' t even be
doing this if it hadn't been for (Mrs. Hooks)," said Mrs. Woodring, who is also executive director of the Kentucky High School Speech League. "I thought, 'This is what I really like.'"
Mrs. Woodring sa id people told her she would be unable to find a job just coaching forensics. "I sort of have the last laugh because that's what my whole job is now."
After Mrs. Woodring graduated from Western, Mrs. Hooks, herself
a WKU graduate, helped her land her first teaching position by
retiring from Webster County High School and insisting the school system hire Mrs. Woodring. Mrs. Hooks then
continued to coach and teach in the community college system.
Their paths continued to cross as Mrs. Hooks followed Mrs.
Woodring's career as a high
school forensics coach. Mrs.
Hooks moved to Bowling Green in 1982 following the death of her husband; Mrs. Woodring came Western in 1988.
Mrs. Hooks said she continued to read abou t the success of Western's forensics students as
Mrs. Woodring began to build the
program. Then two students won the right to compete in a national oratorical contest in Alaska this summer.
"I thought, 'What a great opportunity, but I'll bet they
haven't got any money,' because I know how the speech department
is and I've known spee<:h teachers who have had to make their own money," Mrs. Hooks said. "I didn't believe in taking time out
from coaching my students to have different money-making projects. I just didn' t think that was right."
Mrs. Hooks said she knows there will be other opportunities
like the oratorical competition in Alaska, and she set up the en
dowment, rather than a one-time
gift, to help in the future. "Of course the state hasn't been
interested in much financing lately, and I guess there's a reason for it," she said. "I just felt like
the speech program is the one that's usually not thought of
when you talk about money, and I knew Judy worked hard and that it would be spent wisely."
Mrs. Woodring said money can be used in many ways.
"I think one of the reasons Mrs.
Hooks gave it to the forensics program is because she's coached
forensics for years and she realizes that you usually have a very limited budget," she said.
The gift is important to the
nearly 30 students in the program because it can be used to defray such things as travel and tournament expenses, even though the
administration has been very
9
Dee Hooks, seated, wanted to help her friend, Judy Woodring, so she established an endowment for WKU's jorellsics program .
supportive during the recent budget crises.
"This is the largest gift we've had since I've been here," Mrs.
Woodring said. The gift is also important on a
personal level. "This was kind of like a gift to
me because she knows how hard I struggle with this program," Mrs.
Woodring sa id. "It is a struggle to be able to attract good students and to continually provide from them a means to go and do things."
The endowment also means that
Mrs. Hooks will continue to touch the lives of students, even though
she has retired from teaching, Mrs. Woodring said.
"She wanted to give money to
Western," she added, "and she wanted to give it to a program she felt connected with in some way, and J think I'm the connection."
