Carroll supports state-funded dorm
but future of facility is still uncertain

By P. JENAY TATE
Managing Editor

During the past two weeks,
(lov. Julian Carroll has an-
nounced he will support the
tise of S] million in state
capital construction funds to
build a dormitory for L'K‘s
tootball players However. he
has yet to reveal his plan for
making this project a reality.

”\Khen the stories started
coming out. plans were not
that far along,“ explained
Carroll‘s press secretary.
Gary Auxicr. He said the staff
at the governor’s office is in
the process of determining
various ways to carry out the
planned construction. “If
they can figure out a way to
do it. they are going to.

"The key factor here is,
there’s no question that the
Governor wants to do this,"
Auxier said. At this point,
"how and whether it’ll be
done is up in the air.”

A housing design feasibility
study has been authorized by
the governor, the press
secretary said. “There has
been no commitment made.
In fact, the feasibility study is
necessary to be done before a
commitment can be made.”

Auxier said an ar-
chitectural firm had been
recommended. but noted,

“I‘m virtually positive- no
contract has been made."

The Lexington ar-
chitectural firm of Chrisman,
Miller and Wallace is
reportedly under con-
sideration for the job. Ac-
cording to Jack C. Blanton.
vice president of business
attains. nobody is negotiating
with them.

Auxier said, "If I‘m not
mistaken. it «the recom-
mendation) came from
someplace at UK."

The final decision con-
cerning who would be con-
tracted for the study, he said,
would be made by the
Department of Finance.

Three possible strategies
exist for implementing the
program:

—a direct state ap-
propriation to the University.
The General Assembly ap-
propriated $18 million for
campus construction projects
for the next two years,
however the new football
dorm was not included in the
budget.

—— a sale of revenue bonds.
According to Blanton, this
would be difficult for the
University to do. The current
University housing and
dining issue of bonds is set up
so all money will be put into a
single pool. Individual,

outside issues of bonds can
not be set up in competition
with the existing system, he
said, and "any new issues
would work the same way.”
that is. being put into the
same pot.

~ a state appropriation to
the [K Athletic Association.
The legality of this move has
been questioned by Edward
I“. Prichard. vice chairman of
the Public Higher Education
Council, who said he does not
think Carroll has the
authority to'grant state funds
to a private corporation, such
as the UKAA.

Where the idea for using
state funds originated
remains uncertain.

Auxier said it probably
arose from discussions
between Carroll and UK
officials. “It has been a
matter of discussion for some
months,” he said.

Carroll recently met with
UK President Otis Singletary,
Head Football Coach Fran
Curci and some members of
the Board of Trustees.

Neither Singletary nor
Curci could be reached for
comment. William B.
Sturgill, chairman of the
Board of Trustees, said, “Any
comment I would have about

Allegations charge ’irregularities’

, ROTC commander relieved of UK post

By THOMAS CLARK
Editor

After allegations were filed
concerning possible violation
of Army regulations, UK‘s
ROTC Commander, Lt. Col.
Bobbie Pedigo. was relieved
of his post on May 27.

Capt. Mike O‘Connell of the
public affairs office at Ft.
Knox said an investigation
was begun on May 5 to look
into allegations that charged
l’edigo with possible
irregularities of Army
regulations concerning
transportion of non-military
personnel and the possible
entrance of unqualified
persomiel into Military
Science III.

Military Science III is the
designation given to Reserve
Officer's 'l‘iaining Corp
courses for third year
students in the program. The
courses and options available
to students in MS III are
different among each
university. said O'Connell,
but the UK curriculum offers
several courses centering on

leadership and personnel
management.

()ne of the options open to
ROTC students is “adventure
training.“ from which the
transportation charges stem.
This is a series of instruction
to acquaint students with
various forms of outdoor
activities. In some cases,
special trips are arranged to
areas that offer a better
geography for the training
involved.

Such trips in the past have
included repelling instruction
in the Colorado Rockies and
scuba diving in Florida‘s Key
West. O‘Connell explained
that several methods of
transportation can be
arranged for these ex-
cursions. such as the rental of
a bus or using available space
on a military transport -~

including airplanes, and that
transportation regulations
differ from method to
method.

O‘Connell and Acting
Commander of ROTC at UK,
Capt. Keith Skidmore, were
hesitant to talk about the

charges against Pedigo since
he is still under investigation.
Skidmore said Pedigo has
been reassigned to Ft. Knox
for the duration of the in—
vestigation.

Pedigo refused to comment
on the charges when reached
at his Lexington home. “It
tthe investigation) is still
continuing." said Pedigo,
“and I’d rather not cement
on that now.“

The investigation began on
May 5. said O'Connell, shortly
after the allegations were
made, and Pedigo was
relieved of his command ten
days later. He said the in-
vestigation should last “not
much longer. it‘s getting
close to being finalized."

The investigation was in—
stituted by Brig. Gen. James
M. Wroth. Commander of the
2nd ROTC Regio. who also
appointed an investigating
officer to look into the
allegations. O‘Connell would
not release the name of the
investigating officer. saying
only that he was “a senior
officer.“

to house football players. The concept originated at UK
with the building of the Joe B. Hall Wildcat Lodge

football dorm), I would refer
to the President."

Although the idea has been
talked about for some time, a
request from the University
for the new dorm has not been
submitted. according to
Blanton.

Harry Snyder. executive
director of the Public Higher
Education Council, said,
"Part of the problem is we
don’t have any request from
the University."

When asked if he felt the
council should have the right
to review Carroll’s plan,

The investigation,
O‘Connell said is “similar to a
grand jury investigation, only
it‘s in the military.” He added
the procedure is standardized
by Article 32 of the Military
Justice Code.

O‘Connell said the results of
the investigation could
produce several options,
including everything from no
action being taken to a
general courtmartial, but he

Snyder said, “I don’t know if
‘right’ is the correct word to
use. It’s more a question of
duties and responsibilites of
this agency.”

The council must approve
all campus construction
projects costing $100,000 or
more. .

Should the council be in a
reviewing position in this
case, Snyder 'refused to
project what the outcome
might be. “One of my rules is
to not second guess my
board.”

But, Prichard said, “I hope
it won’t be built.”

refused to speculate on what
the results would be. He also

charges are not related in any
way to the charges made last
spring by an ROTC cadet who
claimed she had received
unfair treatment.

 

 

 

 

Sum mer registration

About 5,000 students are expected to enroll in this
year‘s eight-week summer session. Classes began
yesterday and registration is continuing through Mon—
day. June 19, in Miller Hall 5 between 8 am. and 5 p.m.

Dr. Elbert W. Ockerman, dean of admissions and the
registrar. said registration will be extended beyond
Monday if necessary. He added school teachers and
students delayed in entering UK because of expanded
school calendars will not be charged late fees.

“We would prefer that as many teachers and students
as possible register and make arrangements to enter the
class late.“ said Ockerman.

Summer school fees are $25 per semester hour for in-
state undergraduates and $35 for graduate students. Out-
of-state fees are $63 per semester hour for un-
dergraduates and $89 for graduate students.

 Arena uses Visual search
as part of safety program

By SAUNDRA FORD
Kernel Staff Writer

With the upcoming Stones’
concert, ticket holders can
expect a visual search before
entering Rupp Arena. As
many concert goers are

aware of, this is not limited,

just to the Stones’ concert. It
has become a continuous
practice employed by Rupp
Arena personnel.

“The key thing we try to
make understood is we are
trying to get you (con-
certgoers) from getting hit by
a bottle or cut up, we are
looking out for your saftey,”
explained Tom Minter,
executive director of
Lexington Center Corp.

Security attendants engage
in intensive visual inspection
but they are not allowed to
touch the patron or his
possessions. They have the
right, however, to request
patrons to open their purses
and coats for inspection, a
condition of admission.

In the event that an object
is found, the ticket holder is
asked to dispose of it
properly. If it is a bottle or
can the proper place is in the
trash can. If the object is of
more value it c..n be checked
before the concert and picked
up afterwards, free of charge.

Rupp Arena officals try to
search for unwanted objects
in the least offensive manna:
and “the American Civil
Liberties Union is satisfied,"
Minter claims. “We are

looking for a better way to do
it, but so far this is the most
effective way."

This “search and seizure,”
as many as many concerts
goers call it, is not just
defined to alcoholic
beverages. The inspection is
designated to turn up any
potentially harmful objects
and ban them from the arena.

“No law enforcement of-
ficers are used and there has
not been a single arrest made
from these visual in-
spections,” Minter said. “It is
administrative action for
everyone’s saftey and we are
trying not to inconvenience
people anymore than we have
to."

Concert fans should not feel
discriminatd against, every
event is visually inspected,
including UK basketball
games.

Thse visual searches at
Rupp Arena, as well as in any
similar facility, are in danger
of violating civil rights. At
one concert hall a patron sued
becaise the searches were
random, therefore claiming
discrimination. Although the
patron won the suit, no
damages were awarded. ”We
inspect everyone coming
through the doors,” Minter
said. “We have no police
engaged in the search and we
give warnings well in ad-
vance that we will imspect
the patron's person. purses
and parcels."

These visual imspections
are not always successful as

RICK RENO .

was evident at the Bob Sega-
concert last year when over
700 empty bottles were picked
up after the show. “I get three
times as many letters saying
we're not doing enough rather
than saying there is too much
harassment,” said Rick
Reno, director of operations
and manager of Rupp Arena.

This does not mean Rolling
Stones fans shouldn’t expect a
slack in security on June 29.
The right to inspect for
prohibited objects is one that
officals at Rupp Arena have
and they make it understood.
The refusal of inspection
results in a refusal of ad-
mittance.

UK can do without football dorm

In the past week and a half Gov. Julian Carroll
has acknowledged his support for the building of
a dorm for UK’s football players.

.\'ot only has he decided to support the project,
but he has volunteered $1 million in state funds
w read tax dollars — to build the
facility . . . or palace, if it resembles its
basketball counterpart.

It was also announced this week that over 1,000
[K students have been informed they must be
content with a position on the University housing
waiting list. If — and this is a big if -— UK were
Never, Never Land and all the students who
wanted it had University housing and all the
departments could provide all the necessities
and luxuries of modern education, then maybe
all the arguments we hear now would not have
the valid ground they have now.

However, today is today and the University is
one of the needy.

lt‘s incomprehensible how the Governor can
favor the state footing a $1 million bill to give the

L'K football team a place to sleep, while other
L'K students must depend on an appeal by the
Dean of Students for Lexingtonians to open their
homes to students.

Carroll is not the only culprit in this incident. A
share of the criticism must be directed closer to
home. Head Football Coach Fran Curci, UK
President Otis Singletary and a few members of
the Board of Trustees, all pished for the dorm.

Understandably, the football program feels
left out after UK supporters helped build the
basketball team a lodge. But the difference is, no
state funds were used in that project, just some
great promotional work by Coach Joe B. Hall. If
Curci feels the need for the dorm, we are sure he
could mount the same sort of campaign as Hall
andfind his money elsewhere. The problem here
may be that funcb needed to house some 100
football players will be well in excess of the
amount needed for the 11 basketball players.

But the major problem lies not with the fun-

ding, or with the Governor‘s support, or with the
housing shortage, but with the basic concept of
athletic dorms. A certain mystique looms about
UK athletes, as at most other schools, and to give
each team its own hideaway only heightens the
feelings that these young men are somehow
above the rest of the student population.

Athletes are not superhumans. They have
trouble with classes, drive cars and get dressed
in the morning just like other students. So why
set them apart from the student body? It is nice
for the students, all students, to be able and sit
down in a dorm room and find out something
about the guy down the hall.

But it is a little difficult when “the guy down
the hall“ lives in a palace down thestreet.

Basically, our point is, football players,
basketball players and all other athletes have
one thing in common with other students. They
are students and need the same chance to be just
that.

The University spencb an
average of $25-$45 million
each year on construction,
said Jack Blanton, vice
president of business affairs.
He pointed out that this figure
changes from year to year,
but the total dollar figures for
construction contracts let in a
year falls somewhere in that
range.

Two new buildings, Nursing
and the Sanders-Brown
Geriatric Research Center,
will be opening to students
and faculty by the beginning
of the fall semester. A year
later, a ZOO-unit apartment
complex will 0pm in an at-
tempt to ease the housing
shortage. And finally, the new
Fine Arts Building, will begin
entertaining the public by the
spring of 1980.

But on the drawing board
are several projects, most in
early planning stages, that
will help improve areas of
education and student life
that have been lacking in
recent years.

Student Center Addition

Leading the list of buildings
to be constructed on campis
is an addition to the Student
Center. First proposed in the
spring of 1977, the building
has reached the planning
stage.

Blanton said an architect
has been appointed to design
the building and the
University is in the process of

UK building projects
promise new space
for cramped colleges

picking a site for the addition.
There are two possibilities;
north of the Student Center in
the “A" parking lot between
the center and Euclid
Avenue. and across the
sidewalk to the east of the
present structure in the
parking lot and Old Stoll
Field.

The project is budgeted for
$4.3 million and will be
financed by an increase in the
Student Activity Fee. Ef-
fective in Fall of 1979, the fee
for full-time students will rise
from $12 to $22. Payments by
part- time students will also
rise according to the number
of credit hours being taken.

At the time of the proposal,
Blanton‘s office surveyed
students to determine if they
would support the expansion
and what type of features
should be included in the

.facility.

The survey showed 76.5
percent of those interviewed
approved of the addition and
their suggestions, along with
those of SC officals, were
used to formulate a list of
priorities for the new
building.

Heading that list was the
need for a new cinema, ad-
ditional meeting rooms,
organization space and
bookstore space, a new grill
and a student lounge.

Apartment Complex

The housing complex will
provide space for an ad-
ditional 650 students in 200
apartments. The preliminary

 breakdown of space for the
building, said Blanton, has 50
units reserved for married
students and 150 units for
undergraduate students with
four in each apartment.

Funding for the $5.3 million
dollar project, which will be
built near Shawneetown, was
approved by the Board of
Trustees and the Publi
Higher Education Council
this spring. The price of the
package includes furnishings
for each apartment.

Architecture Building

For the past few years.
accreditation teams
reviewing the College of
Architecture have sounrbd
ominous warnings about the
lack of space available to
architecture students at UK.
Students are now spread out
in two of the oldest buildings
on campus, Pence and Miller
halls, and niether building
offers adequate space for
classrooms and studios.

The University has recently
received approval from the
PHEC for funding of a new
Architecture building. An
architect has been appointed
for the $6.6 million project,
which will be financed by
consolidated education
bonds. The process of site
location has begim.

Blanton said he hopes to

place the building as near
central campus as possible.
The parking lot on the comer
of Rose Street and Columbia
Avenue is one site under
consideration for the
building, as is the area behind
Memorial Hall.

Blanton said the building
"is at least three years
away," and should be ready
for occupancy sometime in
1981.

Pharmacy Building

Another problem area
dealing with accreditation
teams is that the School of
Pharmacy hm outgrown its
present structure on
Washington Avenue. PHEC
also apprOved funds for this
project, $6.6 million, during
the recent meeting of the
legislature.

The structure, which will
also open sometime in 1981,
will be similar in design to the
Nursing Building. It will be
located on Rose Street bet-
ween the Nursing and Hunt-
Morgan Biological Sciences
buildings.

College of Medicine and
Medical Center

Three projects are being
planned that will increase the

educational and patient
facilities for the College of

Medicine and the Medical
Center. The projects could
cost as much as $34 million
dollars and will drastically
increase the size of the
medical complex on the south
side of campus.

The first will be an addition
to the Medical School that will
'be devoted to medical
research. This project will
receive more than $6 million
in funding and will be com~
plete in 1981.

The Medical Research
addition will be one of two
additions on the Medical
Center. The other is a hospital
addition that will extend off
the south end of the present
building. Funding for this
facility will be raised through
patient receipts and the sale
of revenue bon$.

Blanton said the addition
would “address a number of
problems at the Medical
Center, including such things
as neonatal care, pyschiatric
treatment and emergency
room facilities." He said the
addition would be finished “in
1982 or 1983, if we’re lucky.
We are shooting for '82,
though.”

Other projects

During the last legislature,
monies were approved for
several other projects con-
cerning UK. One of the
largest was a $10 million
grant from PHEC to senior
universities for implementing
the 504 Project for Han-
dicapped Improvements.
This money will be used to
make physical improvements
on campm buildings to make
than accesible to the han-
dicapped.

The Animal Disease
Diagnostic Center, a part of
the College of Agriculture,
received an $800,000 state
appropriation for the in-
stallation of equine pathology
equipment. And the
University received $5
million for unspecified
projects at the various
community colleges.

THE KENTUCKY KERNEL. June 15, 1978—7

Two buildings open
for new school year

By THOMAS CLARK
Editor

The eye towards UK expansion does not neccesarily center
on the drawing board. At least three buildings and an addition
are under construction at this time.

After years of being schuffled around the Medical Center,
the Col‘ege of Nursing finally has a place it can call home. By
the end of summer, furnishings will be unloaded and room
numbers hung throughout the new facility in preparation for
this fall's students.

The Nursing Building (photo at left» is located on Rose
Street, directly across from the Medical Center. A pedestrian
walkway connects the two building and allows easy access
between the two. The facility cost the University $7 million and
is part of a block of new buildings between Washington Avenue
and the intersection of Rose and Limestone streets.

It is in the same block that a second building will open this
fall. The Sanders-Brown Geriatrics Research Center will
begin its work in late summer. The building carries a $2
million price tag and was built in a style similar to the Nursing
facility.

Across campus, at the comer of Rose Street and Euclid
Avenue, rises the new Fine Arts Building (photos center and
below left). A $6.2 million project, it is being built to relieve
some of the paformance inadequacies of the present Fine
Arts Building and Memorial Hall.

The building, which is 50 percent complete, will house a 1500-
seat concert hall, a 300-seat recital hall and an art gallery.
Vice President of Business Affairs Jack Blanton said the
concert hall will be equipped with a new organ, an instrument
he called “the greatest organ in this part of the world.”

The Fine Arts Building has been the victim of rising con-
struction costs. A bridge between the old and new buildings,
said Blanton, “was zapped because of construction costs.” The
bridge was to have been lined with offices desparately needed
by the overcrowded departments in the College of Fine Arts.

The building has a tentative opening date of spring, 1980.

The final construction project is an addition for the Law
Building. A $1.9 million project, it will add offices and
classrooms that accreditation teams have found lacking in the
present facility. The new wing, being added on the rear of the
building along Limestone Street, will be ready for occupancy
in the summer of 1980.

Bogart? Allen? Bergman?
The Kentucky's got ’em all

By WALTER TUNIS
Entertainment Editor

The movie-going con-
noisseur with a taste for
vintage Bogart, ’68 Allen, or
contemporary Bergman,
finally have a first-class
celler they can call their
own..

The Kentucky Theatre.
Surprised? True, The Ken-
tucky is nothing new to
Lexington movie-goers,
having been one of the first
moviehouses to present sound
movies in this area. Then just
last spring, it began
presenting live concerts.

What‘s the twist this time?
The Kentucky is now in-
corporating a series of films
— about six or seven different
ones a week — and showing
each for only $1.49.

The repertory film-theatre
format has two or three films
shown each day, varying
from classics such as
Casablanca and Mutiny on

I am You?
