Long-awaited library DIJEIIS By Luke Saladin . l\\/\!illll [Cum'Iimlmmr Iii/Inf -\fter more than a year of delays and anticipation, the L'K's \Yilliam T. Yotiiig Library will finally open today. How do the students feel about it? The library was originally schedtiled to open in spring WW and has since beeii ptished back numerous times. But the construction delays has not sat well with those who will hetiefit itiost from the con— struction of the new facility: L'K students atid faculty mem» hers. Opinions on the problem seeiti to revolve arotiiid L'K‘s inability to cope with a project of such magnitude. Reasons range from the lack of coordination to inability to get proper funding. Some students say the con— struction of the new library will forever be remembered as a black eye on the face of UK. “It doesn't surprise me at all,‘ said Jeff Brandt, a journalism sophomore. “It's all because the L'niversity is iii charge.“ \Yhile L'K seems to receive the hulk of the criticism for the con— struction delays, some students said they believe the problem , transcends the L'niversity‘s con~ trol. “Projects like this always have some sort of delays," said l’llen Lord. a journalism jtiiiior. “Not to mention it's built on a siiik hole." Rob .\laness thinks blaming the L‘iiiyersity for the delays is wrong. “:\ large part of the problem is that certain people in the univer sity didn't understand the scope of what they were getting into," said .\laness, a btisiness iiianage- ment junior. “\Yho you blame for the construction problems, I don't know. biit it's wrong to blame the entire L'niyersity for this problem' In addition to serving the [K community, the library also has just as tiiiicli relevance to people outside of the school. The library will he required to serve the needs of off—campus tisers, ptiblic libraries, business and public and private educational institutions such as community colleges. “The library needed to be opened." said \Yesley .\lays, a his— tory student from Kentucky State L'niversity who uses .\largaret l.

The staff members attended the signing at the (Iapitol building, where ‘7 o For Sen.

They contact- ed legislators. and argued their case very well, and I think that made a dif- ference." Staff members also contacted other staffeinployees at other regional uni- versities across the state to drum up support for the Scorsone‘s bill. This effort helped legislator's realize the inequity L'K staff faced, he said. “I talked with the governor early on during this process and asked him not to be a roadblock. and he said he would not be." Scorsonc said: “Now it's tip to staff to design the best method to elect their represen- tative." “He has been superb throughout the last two campaigns,"Johnson said. “\Ve've got our work cut out for us. btit we're looking forward to it." Altliou h Patton signed the bill, The legisliition does not go into law until July 1‘. L'K President (iharlcs “'ethingtoti said the board will act on the bill at that time and restated his position that it will welcome a staff member ifthe bill is approved. Kathy Scahill was excited but said she wished the president would act less indifferent about the passage. “I‘m a little disappointed l)r. “'ethington hasn't been more willing to congratulate us." said Scahill, an admin- istrative assistant in horticulture and landscape architecture department. The measure comes at an interest~ ing time, she said, because ofa salary cap proposed by the administration that would Simplify UK's complex classification system for staff. but keep cmplovees at the top of their grade levels from earning more money. t (Ionrad didn't realize the obligations of accepting a position on the board. “I could not attend the elections board ofclaiiiis committee because I had a prior coitiiiiiitiiieiii with Phi Sigma Pi."

OHIO case/11.71; Mcoomws, NIKE Xavier slams tilt, 11-5 Big Blue oflense strong but defense struggles again By Mike Heppermann Stir/[II 'mer' As the saying goes, you win sortie. you lose some. lately the L'K baseball team has lost more than it's won, and it’s looking to turn things around in its threevgame borne series against fifth—ranked l'ilorida starting at (i tonight. L'K ripped double~digit hits (I i) for the second game in a row on \I'ednesday at Cliff Hagan Stadium, but its five runs were not enough to overcome Xavier. The Musketeers had four more hits but scored II runs to hand the Cats their ITth loss of the year. One of those Xavier hits produced four runs. Seniorjim Dallio ripped a grand slam off [is pitcher David Cheatle in the top of the SIVIII inning to ttrrn a 6-; gatne into a l()—3 snooler. “I thought I tnade a good pitch, the guy just hit it hard," Cheatle said. “The count went to {—1, the guy was sitting on the fastball and he hit it hard." Cheatle, who is l I for I l in non-conference games, tried to make tip for it in the bottom of the inning by hitting a double and advancing Andy (irecn to third. (ireen made the score lIl»-l after Kin ier pitcher Brock Boser bounced a pitch off_lason (Lolemire‘s knee that could be heard behind closed windows in the press box. (Iheatle then walked in the bottom of the eighth, eventually moved to third and scored L'K's final run off of second basetnan Zach Swisher‘s error.

H." on f/Jt' set/son. L'K freshman Bradd lleyerly started the game and picked up the loss after giving tip four runs offsix hits in four innings. L'K didn't have quite the same insurmount- able debt to overcome against Belmont at home on 'l‘uesday. The Cats scattered eight runs over six innings to carry an 8-I lead into the eighth inning. After six straight scoreless innings from Belmont. the team decided to make things interesting. Belmont scored eight runs in the top ofthe eighth to jump ahead by one. llead coach Keith Madison was not happy. “You’re just agonizing after blowing a very comfortable lead." he said. “It was just a situa— tion where two young pitchers couldn't hold the lead." L'K went scoreless in the bottom of the inning. but still had the ninth to swing the game back in its favor. They used it. Freshman John \Vilson blasted his first hotne run of the year to tie the score at 9-9. It was the 13th dinger in the last H games for the Cats._IeffArIeade's single drove in the winning run as the Cats narrowly pulled out a 10-9 win. Sophomore Aaron .\Ic(ilone pitched a scoreless ninth for the Cats to earn his first win ofthe year. The Cats (ll-l7) will try to put \\'ednes— day's loss behind them and focus on their series against Florida, which comes in touting a 23—7 record and a one—game lead over South Carolina in the Southeastern Conference Fast— ern Division.
