UK begins hospital renovation with demolition

By Shannon Mason
in: whom KERMEL

The demolition of four
go rties on Conn Terrace

1 ay marked the first V151-
ble step of the UK Health-
Care expanston.

“We have four houses in
ties of rubble." said Jim
onner, [giroject manager

With the niverSIty’s Ca ital
Project Management ivi-
sion.

The deconstruction is the

first step in phase 1A of the
hospital expansion plan.

Conner said altogether
there were nine buildings, in
cluding the four demolished

'Frida , on the block being de-

molis ed right now. The re-
maining five buildings. three
houses and two a artment
complexes. will be own “by
the end of the month."

Conner said that before
any of the buildings are torn
down, workers go through
and clean out t e asbestos
and old floors. They also look
for appliances or other items
in working condition that
could be of use to others.

“So far we have donated a
dozen refrigerators and
ranges to Habitat for Human-
ity," Conner said.

‘Conner. said the universi-
ty is working on purchasin
groperties down to Elizabet

treet and it may take six
months to close deals on all
of those.

Dr. Michael Karpf. execu-
tive Vice president of health
affairs at UK, said that in
ghase 1A, a new hospital

uildmg will be built in the
location of the hospital’s cur-
rent parking garage. In order

for the old garage to be torn
down, a new garage must be
built. The new parking
garage will be built at the
current deconstruction site
on Conn Terrace and will be
wn between January and
arch of 2007. Karpf said.
Karpf said phase 1A is
Birojected to cost $450 million.
e said $250 million of that
will come from bonds. which
are state-approved but paid
by the university. and the
other $200 million will come
from operations.
Karpf said construction

of the new hospital facility
will start in 2007 and the fa
cility should be completed by
2010.

According to the UK
HealthCare Strategic Plan.
phase 18 includes the con-
struction of a new research
facility across South Lime-
stone Street and the con-
struction of a combined med
ical and dental education
building.

Kargf said phase 18
should e complete by 2015.

“We hope to overla 1A

and 18." Karpf said. “I‘ like

to get out of the old hospital
by 2012." Overlapping the
p ases could mean phase Ill
would be completed earlier
than 2015.

Phase 2 includes knock-
ing down the old hospital and
building a new facility for
ambulatory care. Karpf said.
This phase should be com
plete between 2015 and 2018.

Party plan
quiets down

campusarea
shindigs

By Naitore lliogora
THE KENTUCKY KERMEL

Nearly four years after it became
law, the Lexington Area Party Plan
continues to govern the conduct and
consequences of parties in the Lex-
ington-Fayette County area.

The ordinance states that the
plan is designed to decrease the
number of disturbance complaints
from citizens and that it will “benefit
the health, safety, and welfare of the
community.”

Two alcohol-related deaths in the
past two years have sparked police
crackdowns on parties and returned
attention to the party plan. but some
students still feel slighted by the law.

”I understand the concern. but at
the same time not all of us are exces
sively partying. Some of us are mere
1y fellowshipping with peers in a ma-
ture and civilized manner and we are
still going to receive the short end of
the straw because of policy and regu-
lation," said anthropology sophomore
Marcus Richardson.

According to the ordinance. a resi-
dence can be considered a “no party
property” if multiple disturbance
complaints are reported to the police
within one year.

Property owners and occupants
are notified of this through a notice.
as well as a copy of the provisions.
and a sticker or similar document to
remain visible during the period of
time the property 18 considered a “no
party property“

If a disturbance complaint is re-
ceived while a residence is deemed a
“no party property" the oneyear pro
hibition will be renewed.

Tenants and properties can appeal
the certification as a “no party prop
erty” by contacting the Commission-
er of Public Safety in writing. Each
appellant must show they understand
the reason for their certification and
promise that no further disturbance
problems will occur. If the appeal is
approved the “no party property" cer-
tification will be removed.

According to the ordinance, the
fine for a first-time violation of the
plan can be between $50 and $500. A
second violation occurring within 12
months of the first violation will in-
clude a fine between $100 and $500. A
third violation occurring within
twelve months of the first and second
violation will include a fine between
$250 and $500.

Additionally, other consequences
may be in store for violators. Some off
campus apartments. such as New-
town Crossing, have party contracts
or regulations tenants must adhere
to.

University Commons apartments
on Red Mile Road requires tenants to
register parties of 10 or more guests
with the main office and sign con-
tracts acceptingqu responsibility for
damage or complaints. Tienants must
agree with party regulations. such as
ending the party at 2 am. a one-keg
limit and a maximum of 25 invited
guests.

“The rules enforced at the Com-
mons are fair for everyone because
people who have to work or go to
school shouldn’t have to be woken up
by music or parties." said business
freshman Piere Davis.

At some locations, tenants are al-
lowed to throw parties in their apart-
ments but they do so at their own dis-
cretion. -

“If they (tenants) have too many

UK led the nation in college basketball atten-
dance for 12 of the last 19 years.

But Friday. man. we were talking about prac-
tice.

Last weekend. 23.174 UK basketball fans
packed Rupp Arena for Big Blue Madness. setting
a new NCAA attendance record for a college
hoops practice.

Since 1982. the Wildcats have opened the sea-
son in mid-October with an annual “Madness"
event in Memorial Coliseum. This year. UK offi-
cials moved the extravaganza to Rupp because of
the practice facility renovations in progress at
the Coliseum.

The two-hour pep rally included a rafter-
dwelling mascot. a legendary emcee. a travel
through time and an array of videos celebrating
the 30 years of UK basketball at Rupp.

Just after 9 o’clock. the Wildcat mascot rap-
pelled from the rafters down to the court amidst a
raucous ovation from the crowd. That kicked off
a two-hour long celebration of both the history
and the future of UK basketball.

Fans were treated to several videos document-
ing legendary UK basketball moments in Rupp
Arena. The No. 1 moment was Tayshaun Prince‘s

Many explayers joined the celebration as
well. Rupp‘s Rum-turned television broadcaster
Larry Conley was the master of ceremonies for
the event. interviewing fan favorites such as for-
mer head coach Joe B. Hall who guided the
Cats to the 1978 national championship and
former all-American Kenny “Sky" Walker.

“These fans without a doubt are the best fans
in the world.” said Walker. “and that‘s what
makes this place so special.“

Eddie Murphy tune and sophomore guard Ramel
Bradley. 7-foot-3 center Shagari Alleyne and
sophomore Joe Crawford portrayed rap trio Run-
DMC as members of the women's team danced in
the background.

The prelude came to a close as fans were in-
troduced to the women's hoops team. Third-year
head coach Mickie l)eMoss entered to a standing
ovation. Last season. she led her team to the
semifinals of the Women's National Invitational
Tournament. the program's longest foray into the
post-season.

After a 10-minute scrim-

the court. waving to an ap-

Moments later. the crowd
exploded along with the py-

of the men‘s team entered in-
dividually while flames shot
out toward the ceiling from
each side of both baskets.

As the crowd chanted
“'I‘u-bby. Tu-bby." UK head

Cyndi Lauper once sang.
“Girls just wanna have fun."
For the 37 girls on the UK
women's rugby team, fun
leaves bruises. After all the
tearing of clothing and tack
ling of teammates, the girls
release aggression as well as
a few laughs.

“Rugby is the weirdest
sport I’ve ever played,” said
junior flyhalf Bethany Zick.
“There aren’t many rules."

From the opposite side of
the grassy field the sound of
a shirt being torn could be
heard.

After practice, the girls
were showing off bruises.

laughing it off as another
hard day’s work.

Rugby is not a sport made
to look easy, and the UK
women’s club seems to have
learned to love the difficult
sport — making the game
more fun to play and more
fun for others to watch.

Ever since fall of 2001,
rugby has been offered as a
club sport for women at UK.
Adrianne Bouchet and her
husband Jason have coached
the men’s and women’s
teams since the start. Adri-
anne says she is especially
excited about this season.

“We have our best re-
cruiting class,” Bouchet said.
“We also have more players
and more talent than before."

her favorite part about the
team is the friendships. She
lives with two other rugby
teammates and said several
other teammates also live to-

“We’re just one big rugby
family," Zick said.

Senior Kay Anderson, a
rugby veteran, enjoys the
team aspect of the game
more than other sports she

“You’re not playing for
yourself," Anderson said.
“The team is so close that
