Making the best
III a had roomie

By Jenniler Smith

.\ Immgmg Editor

Almost every student who has
ever lived in the dorms has or
has heard a roommate horror
story.

“'hether you hand-pick your
best friend to live with or you
allow UK and fate to make the
decision for you, you can always
count on small conflicts, said
Tammy Dishion, UK housing
assrgnment mana er.

“Sometimes Eids move in
with their best friend and then
two days later discover they can-
not live with them at all,” she
said.

However, roommate conflicts
are not the main reason students
change rooms after they have
been assigned.

()f the 454 room changes that
occurred last fall, only 32 were
because of roommate conflicts.

“It really doesn’t matter how

By Beth McKenzie
Staff Writer

No news is good news, so the
saying goes. And there is no new
news as to where students will be
parking this fall, said Don
Thornton, UK director of park-
ing and transportation.

But one significant change is
on the way.

much you try to make the per—
fect matches," Dishion said.
“You give people exactly what
they want, then they try to
switch."

The process UK goes
through to select roommates is
done by computer and by hand.

Roommates are selected ini-
tially by a series of questions on
the housin r application.

Then, t e minor details of the
application are handled through
the housing office, Dishion said.

Regardless of how much cal—
culating and planning is done,
some students still may not have
the best luck with their initial
roommate.

The housing office does not
always have the ability to move
students right away when a
problem arises. The only time
the office will intervene immedi—
ately is when there is physical
danger to one of the roommates,
Dishion said.

Incoming freshman will be
able to apply for parkin permits
by way of mail. And i all goes
well, the permit by mail system
may be used for all permits in the
future.

“This is the only significant
change for fall,” Thornton said.
“We’re very positive about it. It’s
our first attempt to distribute the
permits by mail."

Students still
have a chance
to get loans

By Matt Felice

lull/mrml [illum-

Though the deadline to
apply for caiupus‘based finan—
cial aid programs has passed.
students in need of assistance
can still apply for federal aid at
any time durin WOSJM.

Federal Aid is still available
in the form of Pell Grants and
student loans.

“For 1995-1096, every stil—
dent would be eligible for at
least an unsubsidized Federal
Student Loan," said UK
Financial Aid Director Lynda
Geor 'e.

Al a student needs to do is
pick up an application in the
Financial Aid Office, 127
Funkhouser Building. To fill
out the form you need com—
pleted tax forms from the pre-
vious fiscal year and will need
to provide other general infor-
mation about your family as
well as your parent(s)’ signa-
tures. Then send the form to
the address listed and wait.

Next, you should receive a
form called the SAR (Student
Aid Report) that details your
eligibility for available aid and
lists the information you pro-
vided on the original form
with spaces for corrections.

If corrections are made, you
must send them to the listed
address and wait for another
SAR.

After that form is returned,
you will be informed of
whether or not you have been
awarded aid.

The University receives a
pool of federal funding for
campus—based financial aid
pro rams, which include the
Perkins Loan, the Federal
VVork-Study Program, and the
Supplemental Education
Opportunity Grant (SEOG).
The deadline to a )ply for
these was April 1. The dead~
line to apply for a Kentucky
College Access Program
(CAP) grant was May I. Eligi—
bility is based on need.

“The availability of Federal

Financial Assistance can be

 

 

Another point worth remem—
bering is that all lots are not con-
trolled equally. Some have con—
trolled parking only during the
day, others are controlled around
the clock.

“If you a attention to the
signs in each fbt, you won’t have
any trouble," Thornton said.

If you need more information,
or have any questions, call the

parking office at (606) 257-5757.

In order to urchase either per—
mit, the stu ent must be re-reg-
istered for fall 1995 and)prepay
any outstandin UK parking
citations. In ad ition, a ‘C’ per—
mit requires that the student live
at least one mile from campus
and have at least 60 credit hours.

An ‘R’ permit requires that
the student live on campus, and
have at least 30 credit hours.
Both ‘C’ and ‘R' permits are

impacted by Congressional
action,” George said. “Some
years that‘s more sensitive
than others."

Like this year. The 104th
Congress is currently in the
rocess of scaling back a num-

r of large and previously
untouched federal programs,
and financial aid has not been
exempted from the proposed
cutbacks.

Greeks ready to rush in

By Mike Reilly

Contributing Writer

\Vhen embarking on your
career at UK, it is easy to get lost
in the crowd. ()ne way to avoid
this trap is by joining one of the
many Greek oups on campus.

To join a raternity or sorori-
ty, one must go through the for-
mal recruitment process called
rush. Sorority rush begins one
week before classes begin. lfyou

haven’t already received one, a
sorority rush booklet should be
coming to you in the mail soon.
To participate in sorority rush,
you must formally register with
the Dean of Students Office for
Greek Affairs.

For the men, fraternity rush
begins the week classes begin
normally with parties and events
beginning on Sunday. Rush for
the men is a little less formal and
allows men to visit the houses

This summer’s advising con—
ferences will feature a special
question and answer session for
those interested in going
through fraternity or sorority
rush and their parents. These
sessions will feature current
members of the Interfraternity
Council and the Panhellenic
Council to answer questions.

IFC Wee President for
Recruitment Joey Priel said
there were no deadline for men
interested in going through rush,
but he encoura ed those inter-
ested to attenf these sessions
during summer advising.

Every Greek organization on
this campus sponsors strict acad-
emic programs for their prospec-
tive new members.

“lfanything. yoining a frater-
nity or sorority in your first
semester should help your
grades, said Jefe Gabat, president
of Alpha Tau Omega.

Rushing a sorority gives you
an even bi ger jump on getting
settled at K.

Construction will take two years

By Stephen Trimble

Senior Stuff I l 'i'lru'

As the leaves fall to the
ground and flowers whither this
autumn season, students will
again witness the faithful freeze
of nature.

Amidst this natural decay,
however, one spot on the campus
landscape promises to blossom
with activity: the construction
site of the William T. Young
Library that lies within the
boundaries of Huguelet Drive,
\Voodland and Columbia
avenues and Rose Street.

Students arriving on campus
in late August for the fall semes»
ter can expect to see a portion of
the library's superstructure out‘
lined by a jumble of steel sup—
ports, said Paul \Villis, director
of UK libraries.

“By the new calendar year
the ' should be working inside,"
\Viflis said.

The library will exceed the
Chemistry/Physics Building as

  

 

  

the largest structure on campus.
Spread across 351,350 square
feet on five floors and a base-
ment level. the facility should be
completed in the spring semester
of 1997.

Inside the building, 37 miles
of shelving will hold about 1.3
million volumes of books and
periodicals resting within a
metht)dically-designed facility.

The constructions $58 mil—
lion price tag is driving the con—
struction process at full speed.
Already. crews have begun pour-
ing concrete into the hole that
now replaces the former Clifton
Circle area.

“There will be a lot of steel
put up as part of the building's
superstructure,” said \Villis,
describing the summer work
plans.

But as the mercury ther—
mometers slip and students
repopulate the campus, the
workers will take the construc-
tion inside. By winter, the entire
building should be encased on

  
   

TheR

 

 

the outside and the “details" will
be added within the structure,
Willis said.

“That’s when things will slow
down," he said.

Meanwhile the Margaret 1.
King Library staff will be prepar-
ing for the transition by continu—
ing the massive effort to re—label
about 150,000 books into the
Library ofCongress and N( )TIS
system, he said.

Most of these titles are cur—
rently classified under the out—
dated Dewey Decimal System,
which \Villis said is incompatible
with the new library.

“\Ve’ve got a lot of behind-
tbe-scenes work to get worked
out,” Willis said.

That work includes consoli-
dating the library's network of
college branches. Many will be
moved into the old King South
Library Complex that will be left
largely empty.

No more parking spaces
should be taken when students
come back in August.

The construction site is

Chaney hoping for change

SGA looking
{If tuition plan

By Sara Spears

Semi/1‘ Stuff~ ll riter

Most students look forward to
May so they can have that three—
month break from their studies.

But at least one group on
campus works throughout the
summer in order to ensure stu-
dents a good year.

This group is the Student
Government Association, under
the direction of President Shea
Chaney.

Raised in Pine Knot, Ky,
Chaney graduated from UK with
a degree in environmental sci-
ence and in the fall will begin his
second year of law school.

This is (lhaney’s fifth year in
SGA. He was a member of the
Freshman Representative Coun—

cil his freshman year, senator for
the College ofArts and Sciences
for two years and $(i:\ Senator
at Large last year.

He won last spring's election
by only 3‘) votes running on a
platform that included ideas such
as selecting a team of students to
lobby in Frankfort, allowing stu—
dent organizations seeking fund-
ing to attend only two meetings
a semester in order to request
their funding proposals and
expanding lighting in the K—
lot/Seaton Field location as well
as near the Reynolds Building
and around Virginia Avenue.

Chaney said that he also plans
to further the commercialization
of the Student Center, to devel—
op a plan to get 24-hour visita-
tion in residence halls and to
expand the service's hours.

Under (Ihaney’s direction,
SGA is working on developing a
payment plan. As it stands now,
students must pay their tuition in
full by a certain date or face late

fees.

“All the other schools I’ve
talked to offer sortie kind of pay-
ment plan," Chaney said.
“There‘s no reason we
shouldn't."

Chaney is working with UK
President Charles \Vethington
and the Student Billings Office
in hopes of developing one of
two possible plans.

The first plan would allow
students to pay their tuition in
installments instead of having to
pay the bulk sum at once.

The second alternative plan
would be to allow a chosen bank
to give small—term loans to stu-
dents and let the students repay
the bank. .

“Either way, we think that
these are more feasible ideas for
paying tuition rather than paying
all at once," Chaney said. “The
way things are now, the Univer-
sity is driving students to finan—
cial aid and into debts that are
really unnecessary."

OOOOOOOOOOOOIOOOC.0...O...COOOOOOOOCOQOCOOOCOOOOOI.

[Wen ’s hoops

not the only
game in town

asketball is a way of life in

Kentucky.

If you're from here,
chances are you alread\ know
that. Ifyou’re not, you’re about
to learn.

There are plenty of high
school graduates who come here
strictly for the chance to get free
basketball tickets. If you aren’t
one of those people, chances are
you’ll meet one within your first
few weeks at UK.

However, the athletic scene
on campus is far more than bas-
ketball. I’m not going to lie and
say that there’s any athletic event
at UK that compares to a game
in Rupp Arena. There aren’t
many like that in the country.

A quick 7-0 run by the Hild—
cats can stir 24,000 into a frenzy
like little else. A Walter McCarty
dunk can rattle the rafters almost
as much as the rim. And on a
good night in Rupp — though
the schedule hasn't allowed many
lately — the floor, on occasion,
vibrates from the noise.

No kidding.

That said, it would be impos-
sible for me to say that watching
a UK tennis match can hold a
similar thrill. It can’t. Neither
can baseball, hockey or football,
for that matter. Not at UK.

But that's not to say those
sports aren’t also entertaining.

Though men’s hoops ranks a
clear-cut No. l on the athletic
entertainment scale here, there’s
a host of other sports to hold
your fancy ifgiven a shot.

And guess what? I’m going to
list the best ones for you, right
here in countdown form. Damn,
you’re lucky:

5. Women’s basketde

I know what you’re thinking.
You're thinkin , “Doesn’t
women’s basketbal suck?”

I know this because I used to
think so. But it doesn’t. Last
year’s NCAA Tournament was
quality basketball, exciting bas—
ketball. Connecticut’s incredible
team made the Road to the Final
Four a ca tivating one. North
Carolina id the same thin for
the 1994 tourney. Iwatched th
on TV.

So did UK’s women's team.

But this year, things could

begin to turn around. The \Vild—
cats have a new coach
(Bernadette Locke—Mattox, a
former Rick Pitino assistant), a
new name (before this year, they
were the Lady Kats) and a new
enthusiasm and spirit.

\Vomen’s hoop has been
growing nationwide, but it’s been
stalled here by staleness. Locke-
Mattox could change that.

4. Hockey

Yes, hockey.

In my humble opinion, it’s the
most boring of professional
sports to watch on television. But
live hockey is a different animal.
L‘K’s hockey club regularly con—
tends for top national honors

amontr club
teams?

The group's mid»
night games

don't scare away
many fans. After
men’s basketball.
this sport ranks

    

' i ‘ second on the
span rowdiness list, a
UIWSIIII fact that is bol-
Semor Sports stered .hy the, Uh‘
. . condition most
(.olummst f' h .
V ans 5 ow up in.

The best part of
it all is that you don’t need even a
working knowledge of hockey.
All you really have to do is enjoy
seeing guys on skates get brutally
slammed into walls.

A knack for taunting opposing
players comes in handy, too.

3. Gymnastics

To see the nation's best col—
lege football player last season,
you’d have had to travel to Penn
State to see Ki-jana Carter play.
For the country’s premier hoop-
ster? Maryland's Joe Smith was
also a far cry from Lexington.

But to see the best gymnast in
collegiate history, all you’d have
had to do was stroll over to
Memorial Coliseum for one of
the UK Gym Cats’ home meets.

There you would’ve seen
Jenny Hansen working her
ma 'c. All Hansen has managed
to til) over the past three seasons
is win three consecutive NCAA
all-around championships and
eight individual national titles.

And she’s back.

I knew nothing of gymnastics
when I came to UK. You might
not either, but trust me, it’s
worth your while to watch the
queen of her craft perform.

2. Football

You knew it was coming.

Despite UK’s dismal season a
year ago, Commonwealth Stadi-

M8 CIB'Knml 111/7

IAlHfl-IMEI TEAM Guard Anthony Epps and his UK teammates should he in position to make a run or the
national title this season. The Cats return all but one starter and import a host of talented newtomm.

um remains a great place for stu-
dents to eat and be merry.

Oh, and drink, too.

Though alcohol in bottles is
contraband in Commonwealth,
having it in your stomach isn’t.
The way the 1-10 Cats played
last season, UK coaches might’ve
wanted some for themlm.

Still, the Southeastern Con-
ference brings some of the
nation’s best on the gridiron to
Lexington. And when, the Cats
are competitive, a mob of 58,000
strong turns out to root them on.
This is the only fan’s experience
at UK that can come anywhere
near the roar at Rupp.

There’s no need to list No. l.
I already told you what it was,
and there’s no need for me to
ramble on more about UK‘s
men’s basketball team and its
chances
