ESTABLISHED IN 1894

By Matthew T. Patton
News Editor

New faces are appearing
almost daily on UK’s campus
as freshman and transfer advis—
ing conferences begin.

The conferences, which
began onJune 22, are conduct—
ed b the staff of the advising
confiirence and registration
office. Freshmen conferences
are scheduled in two-day
blocks, and transfer confer-
ences are held on Wednesdays.

“The Advising Conference
for new students is an impor-
tant tradition at the University
of Kentucky,” said Donald E.
Witt, UK registrar, in a wel-
come letter to UK’s new stu—
dents.

Suzanne McGuirk, program
coordinator at the UK Regis-
trar’s Office, said a comprehen—
sive review is exact] what these
new students need] when they
are entering such a new and
“foreign” phase of their lives.

During the conferences,
interest sessions provide an
o portunity for students to
c oose a facet of university life
that may appeal to them and
listen to speakers and audiovi-
sual presentations of campus
activities. Some interest ses—

G A FACE:

NEW STUDENT ADVISING

sions include academic life,
campus housin , parking ser-
vices and a stu ent panel that
discusses campus life from the
students’ viewpoint.

The student staff that assists
with tours and sessions is cho-
sen based upon their experi-
ences and personalities from a

l of over 100 applicants.

Luke Riddle, a communica—
tions junior, is part of the staff.
“It’s a great experience and a
lot of fun. It’s eat to have the
chance to beg; students et
over their fears. I know w at
it’s like. I’ve been there.”

The student staff is
required to work full-time
during a two-week period to
familiarize themselves with
campus information, and are
required to meet with a repre-
sentative of every UK college.

Pam Stone is assisting with
the program as well. “I taught
UKlOl and was an R.A. for a
few semesters, so I know that
students need help and atten—
tion. I think it’s a cat pro—
gram for everyone,” . tone said.

In addition to the informa-
tion sessions, students meet
with their college advisers and
register for classes, have stu-
dent ll)s made and are allowed
to take tours of campus facili-

ties such as residence halls and
the “CT. Young library.

Shawn Russell, 22, is a senior
transferring from Kentucky
State University. He said that
he didn't go through a similar
advising conference there, but
believes that UK’s advising ses-
sions will “provide him with the
information” that he needs.

Elton Chambers, a fresh—
man from Owensboro, feels the
interest sessions that he attend-
ed, such as Smart Start— a ses-
sion that “reveals secrets for
success” from the University

unselin and Testing Center-
will help im become a better
student when he begins classes.

The program does not stop
with preparation for the stu-
dents. Parents and guests of
the students are invited to par-
ticipate as well. ()n the second
day of freshman advising, ses-
sions provide information to

arents about university
health, housing, food services
and residence life.

Proposed historic distric could affect students

By Jessica Coy
Editor—m-Cbirf

It's all over the news.

Monday night the Urban
(Lounty Planning Commission
unanimously su ported the cre-
ation of an I -l district that
encompasses hundreds of proper-
ties surroundin UK.

The councifis decision brings
the proposal one step closer to

' a reality. The final deci-
sion rests with the Urban County
Council which will vote on the
zone overlay within 90 days.

r..." ..n_.,,.. ,. .

Should the ”-1 zone overlav
go into affect, home owners will
ave to et a proval from the
Board o Are itectural Review
before makin any changes to the
exterior of t eir property. The
main idea behind the proposal is
to prevent developers from tear-
ing down older houses to make
room for apartments and hence
preserve the historical character
of the neighborhood.

The original proposal included
over IMO properties, but at the
first hearing on the issue last week,
the planning commission removed

rv » "- .. ~-.,._,_.

over 400 homes south of Euclid
Avenue.

The remaining area, bordered
by Main Street and Ashland,
Euclid and Lexington Avenues,
still constitutes the largest single
”—1 zone in Lexington. With 900
properties still included in the ro-
posal, it is almost as big as alFthe
other Lexington historic districts
combined, which include l,2 50
pro rties.

he proposed zone has creat-
ed a tidal wave of public opinion.
The Planin Commission
received eight Timers in support

of the lI-l zone and 23 letters
and a petition signed by 4‘ peo-
ple in opposition.

()pponents and proponents

ackcd the council chambers at
hearings last week and Monday
night, where more than seven
hours of testimony was heard
before the board approved the
zone overlay.

While there has been consid-
erable talk about the affect the
new zone overlay will have on
local businesses, families and
developers, many students are
left guessing as to how the

than c will affect them.

Bi l Lear. a Lexington attomey,
said that the proposal has the
potential to raise rent for students.

“If it raises costs for landlords.
I'm sure those costs will trickle
dovm to the students," Lear said.
“Proponents have said that the
pro )sal is not anti student. but the
bui dings that they are targeting
are buildings built for students."
Kigle Kiger, manager of “ass-
mer roperties, also said that

should the proposal go into affect.

Camps keep campus busy

UK bowing works
on accommodating
thousands of vzsztors

By David Salvo

Contributing ll 'nter

While most UK students are
packing up and heading home for
the summer the UK housin
department is stepping into high
gear to prepare for the mughly
ll), 000 to IS, 000 visiting students
expected to attend summer camps
and conferences on campus this year

The programs, which include
summer advising and high school
science teacher conferences as
well as baseball basketball vol-

:lyball and diving camps, gener-
last five to seven days and run
from May 13 to August l4.

Accommodating the thousands
of campers is a full—time job for
UK Housing, which works year-
round planning for the summer
conference season.

“W'e start planning for the
camps in the winter." said Robert
Rash, UK’s campus housing man-
ager. “By the first of the year we
will have caught everything u
and then we will have to start all
over again.”

Rash said Without the help of
nearly l00 student volunteers and
the help of L'K‘s maintenance and
housekeeping personnel, the job
would be im sible.

“We rel eavily on the custo—
dial crews. They have a lot of work
to do over the summer," he said.

Charles Peyton, senior mainte-
nance supervisor agrees, saying
that experience and teamwork are
responsible for the continued suc—

cess of UK summer conferences.
“We work together," he said.

Lee Farar, a dietetics senior
and four-year veteran of summer
conference work. also sees the
housekeeping personnel’s work as
invaluable.

“We have a great crew here on
campus," she said. “They come in
after each grou and clean up;
they handle the linen service and
general sanitation and are vital to
the smooth flow of the summer.”

The student workers and vol-
unteers are also an important part
of the conferences.

Farar said the personal atten-
tion the students give to the visi—
tors goes a long way toward
improving the programs.

“I like to get to know the
campers," Farar said. “I see some
of them that I've met in previous
years and when I recognize them
it makes them feel comfortable."
Farar said.

“That makes this a great calm-
down job. As long as you make
them feel comfortable. they have
a good experience."

The UK students who assist
are employed for the summer by
campus housing and receive a
free room for the summer in
addition to their standard wages.
Their responsibilities vary
depending on where they work,
but all are required to kce track
of room occupancy and andle
disturbances.

Student workers are also hired
to work as re ‘stration guides for
incoming fres men.

For the four years following
the release of Pulp Fiction, every
wannabe hip crime drama/com-
edv has been compared favor-
abl or unfavorably, fairly or
unfiiirly. to Quentin Tarantino‘s
irreverent cult jackpot.

Not until this past weekend.
however, has a film of similar
style been worthy of more than
the idle comparisons critics and
fans love to create. Out of Si In,

; Raves losing appeal a’ae

By Vic Gaines

Contributing H 'ri'rer

Pulsating music, . rating
bodies, glassy-eyed and amboy-
antly clad club kids lost in both
time and space —- this is the
media portrayal of raves.

Many people think raves are
only held in places like New York
city, but last Friday night Louisville
hosted another “One Night
Stand,” which is one in a series of
Mid-W'est (particularly Louisville)
raves bearing the same name.

“One Night Stands” generally
have one or two headlining Djs
and feature a number oflocal tal—
ents. The headliner Friday was
DJ Josh \Vink, best known for
rocking the electronica scene
with tracks like “Higher State of
Consciousness," “Don't Laugh"
and “Are You There?” Benman
was also present, as were a few
unannounced local acts.

I attended this rave with hi h
expectations, as Wink is my a l-
time favorite D], but I was uite
disappointed by the event, which
cost $15 to attend. Raves are
generally advertised as location:
secured venue. This means that
the entity sponsorin the party
has hired security. an: no outside
law enforcement will be present
(there is no denying the presence
of illegal substances at a rave, but
no one can deny their presence
elsewhere, either...). I did not see
a flyer for this particular rave.
but based on past “One Night
Stands”, I figured this would be
secured.

i to commercial influence

tioning random panygoers and
looking for reasons to harass.
Inside security was overbearing
and the wait to get in was over an
hour. The doors opened at mid-
night, but we did not walk inside
until after 1:30 am. l presume this
was to ye peace of mind to the
Louisvi le Police Department, but
I know of no instances where
ravers have caused trouble, so this
was intri ’ng.

The Eli! D] ruined the entire
evening.

He was not mixing, but
rather, playing deep house, and
attempting to sing and/or hype
the crowd over the record. Not
quite what we came for. Corn-
mereialism manifest. SNAP was
played out in, 1989.

Josh Wink did not begin his
three hour set until 3 a.m.
According to a rave vet. he is the
type of DJ who likes to build the
energy in his set gradually; gen-
erally beginning with relatively
slow, trance-techno, and build-
ing into Jungle, and then Ilard
House. At about 4 a.m., it
a peared he was doing exactly
tiiat, and the tempo was begin-
ning to increase; but the set
would not have reached peak
ener until 5 or 5:30 a.m., and
that is way past my bedtime!

Therefore l regretfully cannot
give a full criticism of the perfor-
mance, but, for the sake of
Wink's re utation, the bass was
ban 'n w enwe left.

[Tn ortunately the Louisville
“One Night Stand" was just
another example of how the

unde rave scene has

cral, ' -out no the “ wers-

drawn to the perceived rebellion
of the latest alternative fashion
trends and techno music. \Valk
into trendy retail stores and you
will likely find 10-year-old girls
trying on ti ht shirts and hip-
hugging, witTe—lcg jeans or little
boys in jNCO Big Rig jeans and
chains hanging out of their pock-
ets, speaking fondly of ‘candy‘
(LSD) and l“. (ecstacy).
Conservative American news
shows have fooled viewers into
visualizing raves as the Studio 545
of the I990s, where partygocrs
engage in illicit activities, or even
worse, die, while under the influ-
ence of various drugs. One such
program introduced the “hot"
topic with the phrase: “If you do
not want to know what your kids
do at raves, do not watch this."
Dramatic, let me tell you.
Stereotyping the rave scene is
irres )nsible. A rave is about not
thingng, something of a living
Zen metaphor for the more
philosophical reader. Consider it
a dance party without the liquor-
induced, sex-driven male aggres-
sion factor. A rave is about the
willingness to relinquish control
of your mind and body (with or
without the use of various sub-
stances) to the ever shifting,
trance-inducing music.
Watch a few minutes of late
aftemoon television and you will
robably see the latest Gap
akis commercial. Recognize
the music in the back round? It
is Crystal Mcth ’5 “Busy
Child. When did Crystal
Method go mainstream? The
influx of attention from main-
stream America has given a bad
vibe to the mysti ue of the
underworld, and the Tree will and
camaraderie of ravers has dwin-
dled significantly, as has the
quality of music the DJ: spin
(many times, as dictated by their
record companies).

an you hear it? The

gnashinfg of teeth and the

wails o anguish from a
multitude of students, develop-
ers and property owners in the
Aylesford neighborhood.

If you listen closely, you
can almost hear their cries of
freedoms denied, profits lost
and skyrocking rents. Togeth-
er they point a finger at those
who would impose ll—l zon-
ing upon their lands of the
free and brave.

In the end, we find ourselves
surrounded by self-interests
that lay exposed for all to see.
Perhaps it’s in the form of
commuting students who take
advantage of free parking on
public streets or absentee land-
lords that fail to maintain an
agin home or worse yet,
developers who say to hell with
aesthetics and build multi-story
monsters constructed of vinyl
siding and wooden stairwells

want students out regardless of
how considerate a neighbor
students may be. They might
even believe all students are lit-
tle varmits, hellbent on mining
a once peaceful neighborhood.

Of course, we know better?

All students aren’t that
destructive of property nor
unmindful of the benefits that
come from living in a quiet,
diversified neighborhood.

However. it’s just as true
that some students, developers
and property owners have for-
gotten an age-old piece of wis—

often push our rights to the

left weary residents with little
or no recourse but to stand by
and watch their neighborhood
be snipped apart, piece by
piece, through the years.

These concerned residents
—— students, faculty and alum-
ni included — have spoken
out in the past, yet the piece-
meal destruction continued
until one day they said,
“enough" and looked to his-
toric zoning as a last chance
to save a dying community.

Some of these concerned
residents may have had darker
motives — the expulsion of
students perhaps — but they
