Students who stay on campus for
class or studying into the night may find
their walk home darker than usual along
one section of the Cats Path. which was
created to provide a safe, well-lit and pa~
trolled walk across campus at night.

Rainfall most likely caused a stretch
of lights a few hundred feet long on the
Cats PL'h around Memorial Hall to go
out even though they were replaced last
week. said Lance Broeking. director of
finances for campus services.

Broeking received a call March 31
from a UK employee about lights on the
path that were not working.

A physical plant employee fixed the
lights. Broeking said. but by Sunday
night. the same lights were out again.

Something is tricking the breaker on
the circuit, he said, and until physical
plant employees discover the cause, the
Cats Path around Memorial Hall may
continue to be dark at night.

“It could be a million different things
that are causing the problem." Broeking
said.

But the most probable cause is recent
rainfall. he said.

“Due to all the rain. moisture‘s get-
ting into the junction box and causing
the trip." Broeking said. “By the time
they (physical plant employees) go out
there. the water's dried up."

The Cats Path was one of the safety
features added to campus after the Cen-
ter for Research on Violence Against
Women published its first Women‘s
Safety Study in 2004. The study re—

Contest participants had to submit a

the new movie “Prom Night." why she
should pick them to go to the film pre-
