BY JAME VWSON AND JAOWTA FEIOMAN News writers University Council Kacey Coleman denied an open record request filed by The Eastern Progress last Thursday for a copy of the Buck Study, which University President Robert Kustra quoted during open budget forums held last week. In a letter, Coleman said, "at this time the University has not received any final report from Buck Consultants relative to the study commissioned by the University. Preliminary data relative to portions of the total survey to be conduct- ed have been received by the University; however, no final report has been issued by Buck or received by the University." She said under Kentucky Revised Statutes 61.878 (h). the preliminary infor- mation is not open. The Buck Study was done to deter- mine more competitive pay rates for clas- sified employee staff. Kustra told employ- ees at open forums Tfrld last week to dis- cuss the budget the school received from the General Assembly that the study said it would take $1.4 million to raise salaries to a level where they should be. Doug Whitlock, vice president of Corey Wilson/Progress administration and finance, said Kustra was under the impression the Buck Horses fly down the home stretch during an earty race at Churchill Downs on opening day, Saturday.

"I hate rude behavior in a man. Won't tolerate it." — Captain Wtx»drow F. Call Ralph Marcum had to get his stage- coach finished. No time to worry about anything else, not even that ever-increasing pain in his stomach. He HAD to finish building that stage- coach. But the stomach pain wasn't gettin' any bet- ter, so Marcum took a time out for a doctor visit. It was then he found out his time was about up. Advanced stomach cancer. Three to six months to live. Whoa!! Scary stuff, to say the least. Finishing the stagecoach suddenly became the least of Marcum's worries. "I had this problem with my stomach and I thought it was an ulcer," Marcum said. "I goes in for some tests and they told me to come back on Wednesday. "I goes in (Wednesday) and I said 'Yeah, get those papers out here, I need to LOST get back and do some work HIGHWAY on my stagecoach. Yeah, I guess you're busy too.' She PAUL FLETCHER said Mr. Marcum I think you better sit down.' I said Just get them papers out here and lets get going. We've both got things to do.' She said 'I really believe you need to sit down.' Well, that started getting my attention." The doctor informed Marcum of his condition and advised him to get his legal matters taken care of as soon as possible. Marcum sat down. And, needless to say, he didn't work on his stagecoach that day. Two days later Marcum underwent a five and a half hour surgical procedure in which his Main Street in Ralph Marcum's Hooten Old Town.
