Purpose
An ad hoc committee representing community colleges across the Commonwealth convened via interactive television on August 22, 1997, to review a draft proposal for the Virtual University authorized in the Higher Education Reform bill of 1997 titled the Conceptual Framework for the Commonwealth Virtual University. The committee met again on September 12 to review the revised draft of the conceptual framework and finally on October 24 to draft recommendations related to distance learning in Kentucky. The committee unanimously agreed that the Conceptual Framework for the Commonwealth Virtual University as written must be expanded to provide for the inclusion of community colleges and technical schools as more active participants. Although the document followed the spirit of the law by implying that community colleges play a role if they wished, it only mentioned them as receiving institutions. It did not recognize or build upon the cross-institutional collaborative work in distance learning already taking place in Kentucky community colleges. In the following pages, the committee describes its vision, response, and recommendation for the Commonwealth Virtual University. The committee has also developed a web page through which community colleges staff and faculty are encouraged to express their vision for distance learning and articulate their role in providing alternative learning opportunities to their constituents consistent with their unique mission. The committee anticipates additional responses gathered via the web page.

Account Info Lifestyles Tucked-in treats By ELAINE GLUSAC / Special Contributor to The Dallas Morning News When Oklahoma City bookkeeper Sue Homsey returned to her room for the night at the new Hotel ZaZa in Dallas, she found not a bedside mint, but an entirely mood-enhanced room. A slow-vibe acid jazz CD grooved softly, two votive candles flickered and a playful bubble-gum cigar lay on the bed. "I figure turndown for a chocolate on the pillow and that's it. But this is cool," says Ms. Homsey. Hotels nationwide are banishing the staid practice of turning back the sheets with standard pillow-top sweets. In their place are free favors such as superballs, gemstones, poetry and, perchance at the ZaZa, Pez. "Chocolate seems so trite," says Theresa Fatino, design and brand development vice president for W hotels. "The last thing you want is sugar and caffeine at the end of the day." As an alternative, W hotels give small nighttime gifts such as sachets, bath tablets and travel candles, turndown goodies that change every three months by Ms. Fatino's prescription "to keep things interesting for the guests."

People With Disabilities Work In Agriculture
For most of the over three million Americans earning their livings in agriculture, the work is not just their livelihood, it is their way of life; a productive and satisfying way of life of which they are very proud.
The Problem
Agricultural production is hazardous. The USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service estimates that more than 200,000 farmers, ranchers, and other agricultural workers experience lost-work-time injuries and occupational illnesses every year, approximately five percent of which have serious and permanent results. Off-the-farm injuries; health conditions, such as heart disease, arthritis, or cancer; and aging disable tens of thousands more. The Breaking New Ground Resource Center estimates that more than 500,000 persons working in agriculture have physical disabilities that interfere with their ability to perform essential tasks on the farm or ranch. Additionally, thousands of children born into agricultural families have disabilities, such as cerebral palsy, mental retardation, and epilepsy. Physical and attitudinal barriers often prevent these children from participating fully in farm and ranch operations, and from engaging in social and recreational activities enjoyed by other rural youth. The majority of people with disabilities who work or live in agricultural settings want to continue to do so despite their disabilities. All too often, however, they are frustrated in their attempts. Rural isolation, limited personal resources, gaps in rural service delivery systems, and inadequate access to agriculture-oriented assistance are among the obstacles they face.
