HE university is a fairly peaceful school, explained Craig Hatcher, Lexington resident and UK student.
Since times seemed to have changed from the heated issues of the late 60's and the early 70's to what appears a more conservative attitude, a survey was conducted by the Kentuckian staff to poll opinions of residents views on students and vica versa.
The results revealed that residents and students are satisfied with each other. In the late 60's when the Armory Building burned during a protest students physically voiced
their opinons. But today, when students trade in jeans and army jackets for baggies and knits, the issues still flair, but are handled in different ways  petitions, letters and organized marches. The major issue this year on the local and state level was the construction of a dam in the Red River Gorge area.
Hatcher went on to say that Lexington residents enjoy the calm over the riots in the past.
Students generally had no gripes about residents. Liz Cole, Molly Moore and Kathy Moore said they
didn't come in contact enough while living on campus.
Steve Key considered the business side of Lexington. He thought that while many business people were impressive, some have an apathetic attitude toward students.
Residents feelings however about the university varied. Some liked a college town while others thought living costs increased due to it.
Three men from Baltimore who stopped for the survey stater! that Lexington in general had true Southern hospitality.
