ROBINSON PLEADS GUILTY,
DROPS CLASSES, RESIGNS

Plea bargain: SG president avoids felony conviction by admitting to misdemeanor interference charges

By Paul Leightty
STAFF WRITER __

Student Government President
Tim Robinson pleaded guilty in
Fayette Circuit Court Friday to
charges of interfering with voter
registration.

Robinson is resigning from SC
and the Board of Trustees and
dropping his classes at the UK Col-
lege of Law. said his attorney. Kent
Wicker. He said he plans to return
to classes this summer.

Robinson. whose friends had
previously said turning in the cards
would not have been his responsi-
bility. did not show emotion and
spoke with a steady voice when
Judge Mary Noble questioned him
about the voter cards and his plea.

“I was aware the voter registra—
tion drive was going on [in SG]. and
I should have made sure the cards
were turned in.“ he told the judge.
“I‘m very sorry."

A grand jury indicted Robinson
Jan. 28 after an investigation by the
Fayette Commonwealth‘s Attorney

office uncovered 747 overdue voter
registration cards in the SG office.
The cards were collected when SG
held a voter registration drive dur-
ing the fall of 2001.

The drive was meant to pres-
sure and oust Lexington city coun-
cil members who supported the
Lexington Area Party Plan. an ordi-
nance discouraging raucous party-
ing. The ordinance passed.

Wicker said Robinson is taking
responsibility for the voter card
gaffe. “Without intending to prevent
anybody from voting. he neglected
to get the cards turned in.“ he said.

"All of us make mistakes. but
not all of us are forthright enough.
like Tim. to take responsibility."
Wicker said.

In an e-mail to all SG members.
Robinson recognized the mistake
and was apologetic to those
affected.

“As President of Student Gov
ernment. I had an obligation to
make sure that the cards were re-
turned on time. I never intended to
prevent anyone from voting. and

I’m very sorry of the effect this
oversight has had." he wrote. "I
pled guilty because I think it is im<
portant for folks to take responsibil-
ity for one's conduct. I have also vol-
unteered to compensate the County
Clerk’s Office of its costs of regis-
tering any voters who were affected
by what happened.“

Wicker and Assistant Common
wealth's Attorney Joe Bouvier had
negotiated a plea bargain that re-
verses his previous innocence plea
and reduces Robinson's previous
felony charge to a misdemeanor. If
convicted on the felony charge.
Robinson could have received one to
five years in prison.

Bouvier recommended to the
com‘t that Robinson receive a penal-
ty of 30 days in jail and a fine of
$500 plus all costs that the Fayette
County Clerk's office has incurred
in handling the cards.

The clerk's expenses are for
postage used in mailing letters to
the 240 individuals who filled out
voter registration cards but were
never registered. That fee could be

less than 8100. said County Clerk
Don Blevins.

The other 507 people who filled
out the cards had either been pre-
viously registered. later changed
their registration to other counties
or moved out of state.

Bouvier said the jail term will
be waived if Robinson “pays the
fine and the county clerk's expens~
es. and he satisfies us that there
are no more of the cards out
there.“

Robinson will be sentenced on
March 7.

With Robinson‘s resignation
from SG. Vice President Mary
Katherine Thompson will become
president and SG Senate Chair Joe
Ruschell will take her place. ac-
cording to the SG constitution.

Ruschell said business will
continue as usual in SG.

“1 don't think there‘ll be a dis-
ruption" in SG affairs. Ruschell
said. “My experience that I've had

has prepared me for that
position."

Survey says: Students want
24-hour dorm visitation policy

Coming soon: After committee's recommendation. decision expected to be made by March 1

By Keren Henderson
CONTRIBUTING WRITER

If some students get their way.
UK's visitation policy will be thrown
out for a more liberal one.

A survey conducted by Resi-
dence Life found that 66.25 percent of
the approximately 1.500 hall resi-
dents who responded to the survey
said they prefer a 24-hour. seven days
a week policy Another 27.12 percent
said they prefer a 24-hour weekend
visitation policy. Only 5.65 percent of
respondents liked the current policy.

The survey results came just in
time for the Visitation Policy Adviso-
ry Committee to incorporate the
findings into their report. The com-
mittee. appointed in November 2002
by Vice President of Student Affairs

Patricia Terrell. is a week away from
a final recommendation.

Randy Gonzalez. assistant to the
vice president for student affairs and
committee chair. said student opin-
ion is a major consideration.

“Clearly I don’t think we could
ever go forward with a change in a
policy like this without student sup-
port." he said.

Jim Wims. director of Residence
Life. presented the survey results to
committee members in last Friday‘s
meeting. He said that any form of 24-
hour visitation was preferable to the
status quo.

Student committee members
from Student Government and Resi-
dent Student Council said the survey
results were a good representation of
what students want.

“Because of the response (stu-
dents) gave. we will probably see a
broader program." said Noah
Friend. a Resident Student Council
member.

Other major concerns are safety.
parent opinion and the success of 24»
hour policies at benchmark
institutions.

During last week's meeting.
Gonzalez reminded the committee
that its purpose is to make recom-
mendations. not a policy.

“We will not have an outcome
that is a policy" he said. “The policy
will become what Pat Terrell de
cities."

Students will know if their pref-
erence for 24-hour visitation be-
comes policy by March 1. the dead-
line for Terrell‘s decision.

 

Basketball players gather to reminisce

Summit: Meeting part of UK basketball's centennial celebration

By Derek Poore
STAFF WRITER

If there's one thing that can
make little kids feel on top of the
world and turn adults into big kids.
it's mingling with 17K basketball
legends.

Hundreds of fans filed into the
UK Basketball Museum in Rupp
Arena Saturday as part of 100
Years of Kentucky Basketball Re-
union Weekend. Players and fans
alike got caught up in the
excitement.

“Nobody's older than Ralph
Beard?" exclaimed Ed Beck. a center
on the 19:38 championship team. in
earshot of Beard. a two’tiiiie NCAA
champion

It was the ultimate nostalgia par
rade all the Kentucky greats
through history haying just as much
fun as the fans \\'i*i‘t‘

Many players reminisced about
their UK memories.

“I think (Coach) Rupp was origi-
nal when they made that mold.“ said
194849 guaitl forward Dale Barnsta-
ble. “They never made another one."

They talked about coaches. cam-
pus and the college experience.

"I was in awe of the whole
thing." Beard said about coming to
campus as a freshman. A member of
the 1948 and 1949 Kentucky champi-
onship teams. he said he was defi-
nitely satisfied with his college years
at UK.

“It was probably the greatest ex—
perience of my life." he said. “i got a

Robinson told him the cards
wouldn't be turned in.

"[Robinson] said I
should fill it out because it
was just for show anyway. I

In January. an investiga-
tion by the Fayette (‘omnioii

717 overdue voter cards from
that voter drive in the 81} iii
lice. On Friday. St} Piesident
'I‘im Robinson entered a
guilty plea to a misde
meanoi:

Some of. the students
who filled out the registt‘a
tion cards question the valid-
ity of~ the registration drive.
their trust in Robinson and
whether other 8(‘1 members
are resixinsible.

80 was calling on stu-
dents to become registered
voters and. eventually. to
vote against Lexington city
council members who sup-
ported the Lexington Area
Party Plan.

Fayette County (‘Ierk
records show that 189 of
those who filled out the cards
registered again or were al-
ready registered, and about
240 were never registered,

Robinson's attorney:

napbid draws crowd,

KATIE MCDONALD | KERNEL sour

Stephen Williams. left, and Kyle Knapp make up Snapbid. They have a regular gig at Kitty 0' Sheas on Wednesday nights.

Set for success: Snapbid finds a devoted following,
growing popularity and good times at local bar

By Lily Cooksey
STAFI’ WRITER

Girls aren’t the only
ones getting attention at the
bars these days. And it seems
that cute guys with guitars
are just as successful at
drawing a crowd as cleavage
and a tight pair of pants.

Kyle Knapp and band-
mate Stephen Williams draw

Kitty 0‘ Sheas every Wednes-
day night. Together for al-

.most a year. Knapp and
Williams make up Snapbid.

’L “I've worked at Kitty's
for a while.“ said bartender
Jason Finley. “Kyle and
Stephen have quite a follow-
ing. Wednesday nights now
. are always packed.
' when they didn‘t

always used to be.“

What do the fans at-
tribute to Knapp and
Williams success?

“Sex appeal." said Alexis
Bowling. a history junior.
“Kyle is so dreamy I admit
that's the only reason I go to
Kitty‘s. just to see him and
Stephen play.“

More than just sex has
some fans coming back for
more. John Steimel. a pre
med senior. said that it's the
whole atmosphere at Kitty‘s
that keeps him coming.

“It‘s just a bunch of
friends hanging out, I've
been listening to Kyle play
since before I've been al-
lowed to be at Kitty‘s."
Steimel said.

Knapp and Williams
have played together for a
year as Snapbid. but their
friendship goes back much
further.

can make mistakes.
and anybody can
tnake it up."

the decency to
drop out."

~ ELIZABETH COCHRAN,
POLITICAL SCIENCE
FRESHMAN

some responsibility"

There was no
need for him to
be disloyal to the
college."

- PADMASHRI JUWIGUNTlA.

thing that he
resigned. At least
he did something
right."

FORMERSGPRESIDENT
