ResLife says ‘no' to policy, cites deadline

Neighbors: Missed deadline pushes proposal
back because of housing contract changes

By John Wampler

Resident Student (‘oiincil's

resolution to change llK‘s visi-
tation policy Tuesday. but the
change does not involve Zil-
hour visitation

Noah Friend. chairman of
the Visitation committee for

enough time to finish a 24-hour
visitation proposal by the
March 1 deadline given by the
Office of Residence Life.

The change approved by
the RSC General Assembly was
for visitation hours on the
weekdays to begin at noon
rather than 2 pm. Friend said
because this change is not near»

ly as drastic or coiiti'iwersial as
24-hour visitation. it should get
passed. despite missing the
deadline.

“This is just the first step
toward a much-larger change
that should happen very soon."
Friend said.

Friend said RS(‘ plans to
have a final proposal for 24»
hour visitation finished by the
fall of 2002. Since housing

Home grown: Marion, Ky, native advances to semi-final auditions at the
Metropolitan Opera House for a chance to sing and a $15, 000 scholarship

By Jodi Vlhitaker

STAFF WRITER

Seven years after UK graduate Gre-
gory Turay won the National Council
Finals at the Metropolitan Opera. Corey
Crider. a vocal performance master's
student at UK. and Mark Whatley. who
received his master‘s from UK in 2000.
will travel to New York for the same
competition.

Growing up

If there's one thing Steve Crider
hopes his son does this weekend when
he takes the stage at the Met. it's to be
himself. But Steve Crider doesn't think
Corey will forget. After all. it's what he's
been doing his entire life.

Growing up in Crittenden County.
Ky. Corey remembers countless times
when his father would pick up the video
camera to tape one of his many perfor-
mances. On occasion. Corey would do
dramatic readings of his favorite stories
for his father. Other times. he would
sing and even play air guitar for his dad.
No matter what. his father said. Corey
was always being himself. His father
knew it would take him far.

"He's always had a stage presence."
said Steve Crider. a dentist in Marion. “1

had to tell him to be quiet more than to
tell him to do something."

Steve Crider said his son has always
had an ear for music. pecking out tunes
on the piano even before he took lessons.

Steve Crider remembers a day in
church when Corey surprised his par-
ents by raising his hand to volunteer to
fill in for the church pianist. who hap-
pened to be absent.

“The pastor asked if anyone knew
how to play the piano. and Corey raised
his hand and did it." Steve Crider said.
“His mom and I didn’t even realize he
could do it. but he did."

“He‘s done everything. and he's ca-
pable of doing everything." Crider said.
“It‘s a little unusual for a kid that grew
up in Western Kentucky to go into
opera. But he certainly can do it."

The decision to sing

Crider has always loved to sing. Be-
yond being videotaped by his father. he
always knew he wanted to perform.

“1 really loved Kiss." Crider said. I
sang ‘New York Groove‘ by Ace Frehley.
I took a tie rack and acted like it was a
guitar. then I smashed it on the floor.“

In middle school. Crider became
very active in his church choir. where a
bit of acting was involved.

“it was a logical progression."

Crider studied undergraduate classi»
cal voice at Murray State University.

“My teacher always told me that I
had the potential to do whatever i want-

ed to do." Crider
said.

After Mur-
ray. Crider audi-
tioned for gradu-
ate school at UK.

“I came here
and they had a
role open in La
Boheme." Crider
said. “I had nev-
er been in an
opera before so I
thought id try it,
lloved it."

Overflowing: Need for more space prompts

school officials to begin plans for new building
By Jami Frittor

{diminishing want—R

The UK Gatton (‘ollege of Business and Economics is growing
faster than the national debt.

The college has stretched its current building‘s capacity. fore
ing some faculty members to move their offices and research labs
into the Matthews Biiilding next door

An $80 million plan is in progress to construct a new building
in the parking lot between Blazer Hall and Memorial Coliseum. It
could take five to Six years to complete

"Student enrollment has gone up a third in the last five years
causing a desperate need for more classrooms and more faculty
members." said Richard Furst. dean of the college.

Terry Childers. Gatton Endowed Chair in the Department of
Electronic Marketing. agrees with Furst. (Thilders' lab recently
moved to the Matthews Building due to space constraints

“There is a definite need for more office space. and the new
facility will help to recruit new faculty." Childers said.

The Gatton Follege's funding plan calls for the school to
receive $40 million from private donors while asking the state for
the other half

”The state right now is not in a position to afford the money.

The headliners at

cert designed to
promote AIDS
prevention among
black and Hispanic
youth. peppered
their performances
with plenty of
messages. But few
of those messages
had anything to do
with AIDS. Mostly,
the performers at
Tuesday's four'

to use their perfor-
mances to promote
themselves or their
labels. The event at

cited: Of roughly
774,000 AIDS
cases through
2000. blacks and
Hispanics account'
ed for 58 percent
of them. according
to the Centers for

But few of the
performers focused
on that. Jay-Z and
his crew promoted
their ROC'd'Iella

"Never give up on

Rare white feel born on Ky. farm

Patchen Wilkes Farm manager Barry Ezrine
was thrilled when popular mare Patchen Beauty
entered labor last Week to deliver her first foal.
He was even more excited when he saw the
small. gangly colt was pure white just like his
mother and grandmother. The Jockey Club.
which registers thoroughbred births in the Unit»
ed States. has recognized only 16 U.S.-bred white
thoroughbreds since 1896. Of those, four have
been born at Warren Rosenthal‘s east Lexington
farm. The Pioneering colt was born about 1:30
pm. Friday in a small paddock adjacent to the
foaling barn. Although farm officials hoped that
the offspring would be white. they knew better
than to expect it.
