Unnersity‘ and cIty officials
met yesterday with residents of
neighborhoods surrounding UK
and announced changes de-
signed to improve safety. securi—
ty and parking during football
games.

“Throughout the remainder
of the season. were going to
monitor the success of the pro-
gram and improve the efforts as
necessary.” said Mayor Jim
New'berry.

['K President Lee Todd said
the university community needs
to learn how to better coexist
with surrounding neighbor—
hoods.

The university and the city
are implementing measures in
neighborhoods near the stadium
to assist with the transition.

Forty-one extra Lexington
police officers will be on duty
during Saturday‘s home football
game against topvranked
l.oUIsiana State University.
Newberry said.

Lt. Ken Armstrong of the
Lexington police said after the
meeting that the majority of the
extra police officers will be on
foot. bikes and horses so they
can interact with the public in
addition to providing security
and answering questions from
non-residents.

To reduce parking problems.

more than 600 free spaces will

be available in Parking Structure
#6 at Virginia and Press Av-
enues. “no parking" signs will
be distributed in some neighbor—
hoods for homeowners to post
in their yards and yellow curbs
between Transcript Avenue and
Barberry Lane have been re-
painted to ensure that no park-
ing areas are clearly designated
to reduce parking problems.
During the football game
against Florida Atlantic on Sept.
29. the city‘s new game day
work group picked up trash. in—
creased safety by stepping up
police patrols. enforced building
codes in neighborhoods sur-
rounding Commonwealth Stadi—
um and distributed fliers ex—
plaining city ordinances to resi—

dents. Newberiy said.

Students have reacted posi—
tively to the additional police
patrol. Armstrong said.

“We have made a lot of pre-
emptive contact with students to
let them know we aren‘t center-
ing our effons on alcohol disci-
pline." he said. “We don‘t want
students to become victims of
assault or any other crime."

Residents of neighborhoods
surrounding Elizabeth Street
thought the fliers made a differ—
ence and were a good start to
the progress they hope follows.
said Anne Marie Stamatiadis.

Senior guard eager to ‘soak in'
his final Big Blue Madness

BJ_ Travis Walilron
twaidron®kyirernel cont

When Ramel Bradley laces
up his Nikes for his last Big
Blue Madness tonight. it won‘t
be the same experience for him
as the first three.

Instead of treating the eyent
as a way to showcase his skills.
the senior guard is trying to see
Madness from a fan‘s perspec~
live.

"This year. I'm going to let
it soak in." Bradley said. “I‘m
just going to sit back and w atcli.
take it all in. l‘TCshillitll year. you
want to come and show all the
fans you can play, Sophomore
year. it‘s like. 'I got a little bet-
ter. let me show them where I
got better.‘ and junior year is
like that too, It‘s my last year. I
want to be a fan."

Bradley came to UK as part
of the most heralded recruiting
class in former head coach Tub—
by Smith's tenure. Now. he is

one of two players 7 senior
guard Joe (‘raw ford is the other
left from that class. and he
feels like he has something to
proye.

"As seniors. we've been
here for four years." Bradley

said. “We want to_go out as w in—
ners. We want to be remem«
bcred as winners and great play
ers. and that‘s our motiyation to
work harder,"

Big Blue Madness tiflg‘lllcil’

head coach .loe B. Hall hosted

This won't be Patterson‘s
first go-round with Big Blue
Madness. The forward.
the nation‘s top recruits in the
2007 class. Visited UK for
Madness last season. as did
Stewart.

"it was era/y coming in as a
recruit." Patterson said. "You
got 20,000 people chanting your
name and cheering and trying to
get you to come. You could just
imagine being a basketball play—
er for Kentucky."

Now. Patterson is ready to
go to Madness as a ptmicipant.

“i can‘t wait to finally step
foot on the coun." he said. “As
a recruit. I could just imagine
what it would be like. This is
my first oppoitunity. and I can't
wait for it."

Though Madness marks the
official beginning of the sea—

their new coach through indi—

and fall.

Gillispie built a reputation as
an intense coach who whipped
