Working on their night moves

Campus night crawlers: Students work into the early hours of the morning to finish projects, papers and productions.
Experience a late-night walk around UK during dead week, from architecture’s Pence Hall to the William T. Young Library

By Tracy Nershaw

NANAGING EDITOR

While the rest of Lexington
sleeps. UK students struggle to stay
awake. furiously typing papers.
sanding sculptures and speed-
reading novels.

It 's a campus of insomniacs. at
least when something is due the
next day. And for some students.
working all night isn't just a fi-
nals week phenomenon. It “s a way

of life.

12:30 am Pence Hall

Jason Bowman stands back,
eyes narrowed as he inspects the
church. This morning he's
putting on the roof. This is the
fourth version of the church he
and his classmates have built this
semester.

"It's not unusual to work
here all night." Bowman says.
leaning over the wooden model.
“I'll probably be here until the
morning."

Architecture students are
some of the ultimate night
crawlers. Their projects demand
hours of meticulous work.

“People stay up a couple of
nights in a row and then sleep the
next few davs," Bowman says.

The room looks both worked
in and lived in. Empty Pepsi cans
dot the tables. Tools. sketches and
pieces of wood are scattered
everywhere.

In the hallway. other students
are working on finishing building
plans and drawing sketches.

“You can come every night
and find someone here." Bowman
says.

1:10 am. Anderson Hall

A Papa John's truck pulls up
behind Memorial Hall. P.J.
Ashkani jumps out of the truck. a
liter of Coca-Cola in hand.

”I forgot to bring their Coke."
he says. pointing to Anderson
Hail. an engineering building.

It‘s rare to deliver to the
classroom building this late.
Ashkani says. even though he
routinely makes late night runs
to the dorms.

Inside Anderson Hall. Hi»
machandra Chebrolu. an electri-
cal engineering graduate student.
and his friend. Venu Surampudi.
haven't waited on the Coke to be
gin eating the pizza.

Chebrolu is taking a study
break. “I'm a night worker." he
says. paying for the pizza and
coke.

That might be an understate-
ment. He sleeps from 5 pm. to 11
pm. and then works on his elec-
trical engineering research pro-
ject until dawn.

Surampudi. also an electrical
engineering graduate student. of
ten comes to keep his friend com-
pany.

"He gets lonely.” Surampudi
says.

Chebrolu says he works bet—
ter at night when there aren‘t a
lot of people around.

“It is calm. and I can work."
he says.

2 am. Reynolds Building

After dark. the narrow streets
and train tracks around the
Reynolds Building make the area
seem desolate.

But nighttime is one of the
most vibrant times inside the fine
arts building. an old brick build-
ing with paint‘splattered floors.
steep stairs and brightly-painted
lockers along the walls.

Like the architecture stu-
dents. art studio majors must
spend grueling hours perfecting
their work. And most of it hap-
pens at night.

A radio buzzes in the photo
lab. a high—ceiling room where 11
students are finishing final pro—
jects before the weekend's open
studio,

“This is due at 8 am." says
Sara Kinney. an English senior.
She's cutting white mat board for
15 black and white prints.

into a cup of paint. clay. rocks and
sawdust. His project is a series of
wooden balls. progressing from
small and smooth to large and
rough. “It‘s gomg to show the pro-
gression of aging. ljust took this
one out and beat the crap out of it
on the sidewalk."

Spending so much time to»
gether makes the art students
bond quicker. Coebel says.

“There's always someone
here to help you out.” he. says.

Gates agrees. “There are some
classes where you see people only
in that class." he says. “But I see
these people everyday."

2:45 am. Tolly-Ho

TollyAHo is the refuge for L'K‘s
hungry insomniacs.

Simmons says. “We had a lot to

greasy burgers and fries before
heading home to do work.

“I have to go do a lOpage take

Eaton. an English junior. “But 1

3:10 am. William T. Young

The 24-hour library accommo-
dates procrastinators like Dustin

Riddle.

The secondary education
sophomore is sitting in the leather
chairs reading a book for a five-
page paper that's due at 8 am.

“I might have to be 15 minutes
late." he says sheepishly

Riddle works at United Parcel
Service after classes. making
nights one ofthe few times he can
do homework.

“I procrastinate." he says.
"When I have a project due 1 stay
up all night to do it "

While most working late in
the library are under deadline
pressure. there are some excep
tions.

Julie McGill. an undeclared
sophomore. is studying for a His-
tory 109 final that‘s next week.

“I have uggh ,, 60 terms to
memorize." she says. holding up
the typed list.

"I have to get a head start."

Sitting across from McGill at
the long oak table is Bethany

more. who unlike her friend does
have an exam in the morning

"it's a logic test. [just began

says. ,

Staying on campus during the break

Here for the holidays: Resident advisers plan
some activities for international students

By Lamin Swann

serum stcnons [Show

As many students pack up
and go home for the holiday
break. Vishal Patel will stay on
campus.

Patel. a computer science
sophomore from Zambia. is one
of many international students
who will be staying on campus
during the next few weeks.

“It‘s hard but we're here for
(an) education. it's not had"
said Patel. who also has a broth—
er attending [K and talks with
her family once a week.

Resident advisers in Bland-
mg I and Jewell Hall. the two
dorms that stay open during
the break. have a lot of activi-
ties to fill the time period be-
tween the fall and spring semes-

ters.

“The RA‘s have a lot of ac-
tivities for us. some movies.
games and a Christmas dinner
is planned." Patel said.

“After that. we try to do the
little that there is to do in Lex-
ington visit the mall, watch
movies."

Because of the great ex-
pense of traveling abroad. some
international students cannot
afford to spend the holidays at
home with friends and family.

“Students will do a little bit
of (domestic) traveling over the
holiday break. graduate stu
dents will probably continue
working on their research pro-
jects." said Karen Slaymaker.
assistant director for UK Inter
national Student Services.

Students will be on their

own during the majority of the
break. Slaymaker said.

The only activity during
the break is to introduce new
international students to cam-
pus in January.

“We will have a one week
welcome orientation beginning
Jan. 2 for new international stu-
dents." Slaymaker said.

UK International Students
Services are looking for volun-
teers to welcome new interna-
tional students to campus and
assisting them during orienta-
tion week.

“We are looking for volun-
teers to help during the orienta-
tion week. to help students look
for such services like housing
and setting up bank accounts."
Slaymaker said.

For those who are staying
on campus during the holiday
break. there will be places open
on campus like the William T.
Young Library Student Center
and Seaton Center.

Stayhg on em?
While campus will be mostly
empty over the break. some places
will still be open.

brary will be open from 0 am. until

Information that may salvage your transcript

8y Casey Hamilton

silo wmrrn

Many students unable to
complete all their coursework
by the end of the semester have
options that could keep them
from failing.

Students have the option to
file for an incomplete. which
will allow for them to complete
the course material at a later
date. They can also withdraw
from the course.

“For a student to gain a
withdrawal. it can‘t be for any
reason related to the academics
of the course." said Jeffrey
Dembo. the academic ombud.

The Students Rights and
Responsibilities Handbook says
students may withdraw from a
course during the Add Drop pe-
riod or shortly before
midterms. After midterms. stu-
dents can withdraw from a

class with approval from their
college if they suffer from an
“urgent non-academic reason."

Students who meet these
requirements and don‘t file
with their college before the se»
mester is over can still get a W
on their transcripts.

The Retroactive Withdraw-
al Committee reviews students'
cases and decides whether to
grant withdrawals. For a with-
drawal to be granted. students
have to be withdrawing from
all their courses.

“The committee will only
hear the claim normally if the
student wants to withdraw
from all the courses." Dembo
said.

Even though a W can often
replace a failing grade. a series
of them can affect the outlook of
your transcript.

“I have several Ws from my
math classes. and I am worried

it will affect me getting into law
school.“ said Lindsay New-
some. a political science junior.

Another option students
have is to file for an incomplete.
which has the same criteria as
withdrawing with the excep-
tion that the student and profes-
sor agree on a time for the
coursework to be completed.

“It can be up to a year. and
is possible to extend the con-
tract an additional 12 months."

To get an incomplete. stu-
dents need to talk with their
professors. If students do not
complete the work in the allot-
ted time. they automatically fail
the course.

“I don't like giving an in.
complete. because students of-
ten won't turn the work in."
said Jane Boswell. an LCC art
history professor.

Dembo urges students who
may have a problem in their

classes to take care of them as
soon as possible.

“It's always better to be
forthright with professors and
advisers." he said.

What you should know

The university has several poli-
cies that can help students not fail
a course.

Students can file for an income
piete and be given up to a year to
complete the course. it the student
fails to complete the work. they '
will fail the course.

Students can also request to
withdraw from a course. The
Retroactive Withdrawal Committee
reviews cases and decides if the
request can be granted. Students
must be willing to withdraw from
all courses.

STAFF WRITER

Diana Keam got up at 8 am. grabbed an orange and some
water and walked to class. She made herself comfortable in a
bare bedroom that had been converted from a classroom. The
silent room became filled with the Spanish language.

But leaving this classroom did not relieve her from Span-
ish. Everyone outside also spoke the language _. people at the
bakery. in the shops and in her house.

Keam. a foreign language and international economics ju-
nior. spent last semester in Segovia. Spain. through a study
abroad program at UK.

s.-

1.1

“The most challenging part of the trip was being in an en- . .

vironment where everything was totally different.“ Keam said.
Keam was not the only student trading in her UK class
schedule for a passport.

David Bettez. assistant director for Study Abroad and Ex-
change Programs. said students‘ interest has increased in study
abroad programs. UK has about 350 students going abroad each
year. Of the students who study abroad, two-thirds of the them
study abroad in the summer. while one-third study during the
fall or spring semesters. This semester. UK has 90 students
studying abroad.

Bettez said there are many factors that can be attributed to
students' increased interest. including more publicity of the
programs.

“We have talked to over 30 UK 101 classes this year about '

studying abroad.“ he said.
He also said support from the university's administration.

reasonably priced programs and financial aid make studying .

abroad more accessible to students.

“We have had an engineering major in Hungary. biology ' :

majors in Australia. geology majors in Iceland." he said.

Study abroad is open to students after their first year. Bet-
tez said that some majors take extra planning. so it‘s important
to start thinking about going abroad early. A student's grade
point average is a factor in some programs. He said that some
programs require anything from a 2.5 to 3.0 grade point average.

Bettez said one benefit of studying abroad is personal
growth. “I think students realize that they can adapt to new site
nations and come back with confidence in their abilities." he
said.

He also said that students gain a specific knowledge of the
country they are in and also of the disciplines of that country.

“There are all sorts of personal and educational benefits of
going abroad." he said.

Julia Hedges. a French language junior. went to Aix-en- ,.

Provence. France. last summer.

Hodges said she went to France to practice her French
skills and to meet people in the country. She said that the learn
ing experience is unparalleled.

“I have been to France three times. and I have learned
more there than in six years of French class." Hedges said.

Studying abroad is open to students after their first year. For more in-
formation call the Office of international Affairs at 257-4067.

Relieve holiday stress

Hit it!: Treat yourself to a night of karaoke

your money.

after a grueling week of papers and exams . ~

———~1 ' Why Pay
WWWWW someone else to use it?

While Lexington might not be the center of the music industry. there
are places to fulfill your rock star dreams, however far-fetched they may be.
Whether your goal is MTV's “Say What Karaoke" or just a funny night out.
Lexington offers some places to sing.

Squire‘s Tavern on Buckhom Drive holds karaoke seven nights a week.
and A1A delivers six nights.

"I think people like to get up and do ridiculous things when they have a
few drinks in them." said Adam Keys, bar manager at Squire's Tavern.

Karaoke draws all types and ages of people and music, Keys ,
said. -. Most people put their hartlrearned you'll be tree from the huxnle ot

“We have everything from Sinatra to last week‘s No. l on
Billboard." said John Frank. AlA‘s karaoke man. “The guys
from the Kenny Wayne Shepherd band that wrote ‘Blue on
Black‘ came over and sang when they were playing next door,
That happens every once in a while." ‘ _, ,

AlA is located downtown on East Main _ money and you shouldn't haye tng .teeount In town \kllll

Both places offer different contests s § ‘
every month and a wide variety of
songs. When AlA held an ‘803 theme
weekend, the winner was dressed as a
Blues Brother. Squire's Tavern also
has costumed karaoke contests.

“At our pajama party we
had two girls get up and sing
‘Summer Loving' to each oth-
er," Keys said.

Some students began their
karaoke careers years ago.

Elizabeth Dansberry found
herself sharing center stage with friends
at a parish festival.

“I was in the fourth grade and sang the itsy~
hitsy teenie-weenie yellow polka-dot bikini song
at the St. Joe‘s festival." Dansberry said. “I've
never forgotten how seriously we took singing
that song. even though everyone in the audience
was laughing."
