ESTABLISHED 1894

S GA hoard to decide

election claims today

By Jennifer Smith
Staff Writer

Almost 48 hours after the ballots were cast, the
complaints against freshman Senate candidates and
newly elected senators still were being filed.

A total of 25 claims were filed against several of
the 27 candidates who ran for four Student Govern-
ment Association freshman Senate slots.

Matt Thomas, c'iairman of SGA’s Elections Board
of Claims, which renders decisions on possible elec-
tion violations, said many of the claims were serious.

“Some of the claims could be considered felonies,”
he said.

“Many of them could be causes for disqualifying
the candidates."

Thomas added that more claims may have been
filed this weekend.

The board will hear the claims and make decisions
based on evidence, as well as witness and candidate
testimony, today at 6 p.m.

Seven claims, the largest number filed against an

individual candidate, were against Stephen Collins,
the third highest vote-getter in the election.

Collins said he believes he may have been
“framed.”

“It is obvious someone does not want me in the
Senate,” Collins said.

“But I do not want to point a finger at someone
when I don’t really know.”

Collins said he plans to take full
responsibility for anything anyone
may have done on his behalf that vio-
lated campaign rocedure.

Thomas saidpthe board’s job is to
make decisions based on evidence
presented to them.

He said the members of the board
were placed in their positions to
detemiine cases like Collins’.

Also, Thomas said, most of the claims are misde-
meanors as defined by the SGA Constitution.

The Constitution defines a felon as a violation
severe enough to have a substantial eéect on the out-
come of the election.

Misdemeanors are defined as “any other viola—
tion.”

The penalties on claims deemed misdemeanors
range from retention of the candidate’s required $30
deposit to disqualification from the race.

According to the registered complaints, candidates
have been accused of turning in expenditure forms
late, placing campaign posters in restricted areas and
putting up posters without the official seal of the
Elections Board ofSupervision, all misdemeanors.

()ne candidate has been accused of the possible
felony violation ofcampaigning in a restricted zone.

homas also said there is a campaign claim against
one of the candidates who went door—to—door in
some ofthe residence halls. The Constitution, how-
ever, does not mention this as illegal.

Other newly elected freshman senators include
Tom Hayes, Ranji Sin rh and Heather Bauer.

Bauer filed a compiaint against Collins, claiming
Collins was campaigning in a restricted zone.

Collins said he was not campaigning, he was just
showing one ofhis poster ideas to a group of friends.

Bauer would not comment on the incident.

“The claim I filed against (Collins) is between me,
him and the Board of Elections,” Bauer said.

“This is certainly not something for the entire stu—
dent body or the (Kentucky) Kernel."

Collins said he feels very strongly about maintain—
ing his position as a senator and plans to appeal any
decisions made against him.

“To some people, getting freshman Senate is real-
ly important to their futures," he said. “I am doing
this because I want to.”

Leak closes
Chem/Phys

Stafl‘report

Radioactive contamination
closed the basement of the Chem-
istry/Physics Building over the
weekend, but officials said the leak
is under control.

Gary Frank said the contami—
nation was discovered about 4
p.m. Saturday.

Frank, a UK radiation safety
officer, said the radioactive gas tri—
tium, which contaminated room
55, a research laboratory, is the
least hazardous radiactive isotope
of hydrogen.

“We still have some further
investigating to do,” he said. “It
appears that an exhaust fume hood
failed, and the tritium settled on
horizontal surfaces in the room.”

Although the contamination
spread to parts of the hallway,
Frank said the area is not a main
thouroughfare for students. Frank
also said students attending classes
in the building are not in danger
ofcontatnination.

Frank said the building should

be open for classes today.

from a Mississippi court.

Jackson County, Miss., in NIay.

An investigation by the UK Athletics
Association into alleged misconduct by for-
mer basketball player Dale Brown is still on
hold because ofa delay in getting transcripts

Athletics department officials said the
investigation cannot proceed without the
transcripts from Brown’s court case heard in

“That gets pretty hard when you got a big
trial coming up the next day.”

Once the UK Athletics Department
receives the transcripts, it can make a com—
plete report to the NCAA of any miscon—
duct.

“They really have limited resources
down there," Bell said.

“But we understand the limitations that
the person is under, and we will wait
-patiently until they can process a complete
report."

UK’s investigation stems frotn a lawsuit
involving eat—basketball star Dale Brown and
the MGB Sports Agency.

MGB sued Brown for $9,010 in a
breach—of—contract suit after Brown hired
another agency to represent him in dealing

with professional basketball teams.

 

“We certainly want to act
only with complete informa—
tion,” said Sandy Bell, UK’s
director of compliance.

UK officials requested the
transcripts nearly three weeks
ago, but the process is being
held up by a lack of staffing in
the Mississippi court system.

Romella Mei Tair is the only
reporter at theJackson County
Court.

Her responsibilities include
producing transcripts of all
cases heard in the Mississippi
tribunal.

McNair said other cases,
especially those involving
appeals and the Supreme Court,
have strict deadlines for the
completion of transcripts.

 

judge T. Larry \Vilson ruled
on behalf of MGB last month,
requiring Brown to pay back
money spent by the agency on
travel, phone expenses and a
bank loan.

Concern arose after court
documents indicated Brown
received gifts of money and cars
before his eligibility expired.

\VASHINGTON —~ The United States tapped at
least 50,000 troo )s for duty in the Persian Gulf as
administration ofiicials warned Iraqi leader Saddam
Hussein yesterday that any attack against Kuwait
would be soundly defeated.

President Clinton interrupted a Columbus Day
holiday weekend at Camp David and met for ()0
tninutes at the \Vhite House with his national securi—
ty team. ‘

“It looks as though there is hostile intent,” said
United Nations Ambassador Madeleine Albright,
pointing out that Iraq had massed 60,000 to 70,000
troops near Kuwait —- some within miles ofthe bor—
der — and that tanks were positioned to “indicate
hostility, rather than just parking there."

Cult investigation spreads

GENEVA — The investigation into the cult
deaths of 53 people in Switzerland and Canada has

Both shows were among last

“I called (Crammer) the day

“Register Once” is a project of
