Lengthy 'nes greet students trying to Add/Drop

By Brian Bennett
Senior Staff Writer

As expected. students attending
Add/I )rop yesterday stood in
lengthy lines. caused in part by bud-
get cuts that forced the cancellation
of several classes and lessened the
nutnber of Add/Drop workers.

l'niversity Registrar Randall
I)ahl called the situation a “grid-

lock" and said the lines this year are
longer than iii the past.

“We can see it's going a little
slower this year than last yetu' or the
year before." Dahl said

Budget cuts. which forced the
cancellation of tnore than llt) class-
es and between (‘5 and 70 other
class sections. forced more students
to make schedule t‘eadiustments
durittg Add/Drop,

At times. the line started from the
fountain oti tlte Patterson ()tfice

'l‘ower I’la/a. stretching around the
inside perimeter of White Hall
Classroom Building and leading up
the office tower stairs before reach-
ing the computer terminals on the
ofiice tower mel/anine. Some stu-
dents waited ttearly two hours in
line.

.lill Rockhold. like some other llll-
luck) students. went through the
line only to find the classes she
wanted closed.

“It was a big w astc." said Rock-

hold. a pre-physical therapy sopho»
tnore.

Rockhold said she would brave
the line again today.

Million I)uguma. a third-year
managetnent student. had to change
his schedule after his cotnputer
class was canceled. Ile said it was
“hard to adjust" his schedule and
called the process “too slow."

Ulthl suggested that students who
already have decided to drop a
course should do so now instead of

later in the semester so students
wishing to add that class can. A
drop-only line is offered as art in»
centive for students to do so. liahl
said if students use the line. it “will
lubricate the process a little bit."

I)ahl added that sttideuts who

The state Alcoholic Beverage
(Tontrol (‘ommission is pushing a
regulation forward that will make
bars in Kentucky oftllimits to tilt-
derage patrons.

The current law allows people IX
or older to enter bars. as long as
they don't drink.

’Ihc new regulation goes into ell
feet no later than Sept. 10.

Most bars in Lexington already
halt the under-21 crowd to reduce
the ChltllCL‘ that a minor might
drink. But even some of those bars
are going to be effected by the new
regulation.

Library expanding hours,
will remain open all night

By John Kelly
Sports Editor

It's not exactly going to become
the newest late-night hot spot. but
the Margaret l. King Library should
get its share of ovemight visitors
this semester.

Starting today. the library will be
open 24 hours on school days. It
will close at It) pm. Friday. open
from 8 am. to 8 pm. Saturday, and
then reopen for the week at 10 am.
each Sunday.

Director of Libraries Paul Willis
said the decision to extend the oper-
ating hours resulted from student
interest in the library‘s computer
lab.

“In part. this was done in re-
sponsc to students wanting to have

“7‘ . - -

the computer lab open longer
hours." Willis said. “So we decided
that since we were going to do that.
it only made sense to go ahead and
keep the entire library open. too.
That way. students who were fin-
ishing up papers and things could
use the reference and periodical
rooms, among other things."

But Willis said he didn't see a
need to remain open over the week-
end.

“Studentsjust don‘t study on Fri-
day and Saturday night, even during
finals." Willis said.

Only the tnain library, which
houses the bulk of the UK library
system's 2 million—plus volumes
and most of its periodicals. will be
open overnight.

llernenway withdrew July ll from
the search for a new chancellor at

llemenway was one of the four
finalists to be interviewed in (‘o-

the not three years 11] which he was
a tinalist.

drawing.

"As I looked closer :utd closer at
the Missouri position. it becrune
clear to me that the advantages in
staying at Kentucky were greater
than whatever advantages there
might have been at Missouri." lle-
menway said. “We've accom-
plished a lot in the last three years.
The Lexington (‘ampus Agenda is

widely understood as a plan that has
made a signiﬁcant difference on the

But he also noticed some differ-

ences — particularly the zunount of

financial support each school rc-
ceives from its state.

“I think the state of Kentucky has
probably done a better job of sup-
porting its land-grant university
than the state of Missouri." llemen-

was factored into my decision."

Hurricane Andrew
rakes Louisiana coast

By Scott McCartney ,
Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS - Coastal residents roused by scenes of de-
struction in Florida boarded up and hugged out yesterday as lltirn-
canc Andrew. alrmdy labeled the costliest in US. history, raked the
Louisiana wast.

The storm, blamed for the deaths of at least l7 people in Florida
and the Bahamas. was estimated to have caused $15 billion to $20
billion in damages in south Florida. lf those preliminary ﬁgures hold
up. it would be by far the most expensive natural disaster ever in the
United States.

Andrew began lashing out at coastal parishes by nightfall. Hurri-
cane-force winds over 7-3 mph prevented sherill‘s deputies from re-
sponding to rescue calls from a stranded 60-foot boat and stalled cars
in 'l‘emcbome Parish south of New Orleans. even though the storm's
eye was still about 40 miles offshore, civil defense coordinator Mor-
ris Duplantis said.

“It's beginning to look pretty bad.” he said.

Lockport. east of Terrebome Parish. lost power at 7:15 p.m. amid
reports of Hit) mph wind gusts.

“We‘ve got trees in the road and power outages all over the place.
We've got 2,700 people in shelters and more out looking for shel-
ters." iiifOUfL‘hC Parish sheriffs Maj. Sonny Hanson said.

A turn to the north late last night meant New Orleans could expect
100 mph winds and more hurricane than previously forecast. accord-
ing to the National Hurricane Center.

"It's going between the more populated areas of Louisiana be-
tween lakc Charles and Lafayeuc. putting the brunt of the storm into
New Orleans and Baton Rouge." said hurricane specialist Martin
Nelson.

After roaring across, the Gulf of Mexico, Andrew had been expect~
ed to move ashore sometime before midnight yesterday, the hurri-
cane center said. It was expected to spare New Orleans a direct hit.
striking farther west in the low—lying Cajun country.

Flrxxling was feared as forecasters said the storm could move par-
allel to the coast and slow. pummeling a wide swath with heavy rain.

“People are getting the idea this is serious now." said Steve Bierh~
orst. civil defense director for the town of Patterson. a coastal com-
munity under mandatory evacuation.

Debris swirled through Plaquemines Parish in the afternoon and
trees were damaged as the storm cruised to the south. parish Presi-
dent Luke Petmvich said.

“This is the closest threat we‘ve had in the last 22 years." Petro-
vich said. “She‘s as dangerous as when she hit Miami."

Gov. Edwin Edwards declared a state of emergency for all of Loui-
siana and wrote to the White House requesting a disaster decimation
before the hurricane hit. More than 2 rnilliou people in Mississippi.
Louisiana and Texas were asked or told to leave their coastal homes.

Traffic heading north from the Cajun coastlzuid was bumper to
bumper for as far as the eye Could see on US. 90 — more than 3 NZ
miles at one bend. 'l'ral‘f'ie also was tied up on Interstate ~49.

A (‘oast (iuard helicopter rescued four people and two dogs from a
disabled 65-foot fishing boat in rough seas 50 miles south of Houma.
Sheriffs imposed 6 p.m. to 6 am. curfcws along the coast, and
banned alcohol sales.

"the evacuation orders carried added weight because most people
had seen pictures of the destruction in Florida, where parts of south-
ern Darle- County. below Miami. were left in ruins.

The storm, packing sustained winds of 140 mph and gusts over
160 mph. hit the southern tip of Florida on Monday. tearing up trees.
peeling away roofs. ﬂattening walls and leaving behind a tangled
mess of mangled debris. Homestead Air Force base was among the
most badly damaged places — military ofﬁcials said it was nearly a
total loss.

Among other losses. two F-16 ﬁghter jets worth $14 million each
were destroyed. Pentagon spokesman Bob Hall said. About 70 other
F-l6s had been flown out before the storm. but the two wrecked
planes were being repaired at the time and couldn’t be ﬂown.

Dade County emergency management director Kate Hale said her
preliminary estimate of damage in south Florida was $15 billion to
$20 billion, and at least 50.000 people were left homeless.

if her ﬁgures are borne out, Andrew will have been responsible for
more than double the destruction of lltin‘icane llu go, which had been
the costliest hurricane in this country.

Authorities reported 14 deaths in Florida. and ofﬁcials said they
thought the toll could rise. Metro-Dado police director Fred Taylor
said police were going house-to-house in search of people reported
missing.

There also were three confirmed deaths in the Baluunas.

Students face increase in parking ﬁnes

Department will use additional revenue
to oﬂset costs, offer improved services

By Mary Madden
Managing Editor

For the first time since 1082. the
University has increased fines for
parking violations and storage fees
for impounded vehicles.

the increases ~ some as large
as 28 percent ~~ were recommend-
ed 1ast year to the University ad-
ministration by [TK's Parking and
'lraff'ic (‘ontrol Committee. which
is made up of students. faculty and
staff.

Parking citations. fonnerly S7

lines for parking in handicapped
spaces. which used to be 57, were
increased to $25. The fee for park-
ing in a fire lane also increased
from S? to $25.

'lhe impounded car release fee
increased from $25 to $30. And the
storage fee for a towed vehicle.

which begins on the second day of
storage. increased from $1 per day
to $5 per day.

UK President Charles Weihing-
ton and his advisory cabinet ap-
proved the new rates. which took
effect Aug. 15. Parking citations is-
sued before that date adhere to the
old fee schedule.

Don 'lhomton. director of UK‘s
parking and transportation services,
said the members of the committee
thought the previous lines were
“not much deterrent to prevent
someone from parking in viola-
tion."

He said the committee looked at
parking enforcement and discov-
ered that it cost the University more
to enforce parking regulations than
the revenue that was generated
from enforcement.

'lhe increase will “balance out
revenue 'dlltl cost." '1‘honiton said.
