If such an proposed four
arraqgement could options, one of which
be eveloped, the was the creation of a

council should look favorably on
providing funds to maintain and
operate an engineering facility
that Paducah plans to build with
$8 million in donations, the staff
recommendation said.

UK had planned to offer the
program jointly with Paducah
Community College.

The CHE is scheduled to
consider the staff recommenda—
tion at a meeting Monday in
Frankfort.

CHE Executive Director
Gary Cox and Chairman Jim
Miller declined to comment on
the recommendations.

The conflict between Paduc-
ah and Murray over the engi—
neering program brought the
issue of turf wars between uni-
versities to the forefront.

Legislative leaders warned
last month that no construction
projects in higher education
could be approved until the dis-
pute was settled.

Gubernatorial candidates
Paul Patton and Larry Forgy
also said during speeches last
month that the group had to
resolve the matter.

The CHE stafPs recommen-
dations came after the group
hired MGT of America, Inc., to
study engineering education in

regional center that would call
for cooperation between PCC,
UK, Murray and potentially oth-
ers to offer engineering and
other programs.

Len O'Hara, president of
FCC, said he had not seen the
council staffs recommendations.
When told of the provisions, he
said it seemed similar to the
regional center idea.

“It’s very interesting,” he said.
“A regional center would be an
excellent idea.”

UK president Charles
Wethington declined to com-
ment.

“I really believe I need to hold
by comments until it is time to
make them ofﬁcially,” Wething-
ton said Monday at the CHE
meeting.

Murray State President Kern
Alexander and Chairman of the
Murray Board Sid Easley, could
not be reached for comment.

Larry Hayes, a council mem—
ber from Louisville, said he
thought most of the council was
prepared to take action.

“Most of us are tired of read-
ing about this,” he said.

“It’s kind of like the OJ.
Simpson trial. Whatever the
decision, we just want it over and

llHA to poll students about
24-hour visitation in halls

By Gary Wull
Staff Writer

UK’s Residence Hall Association
will survey residents to gauge support
for a proposal supporting 24—hour visi-

tation for the opposite sex.

During the next few days, RHA will
hand out a random survey through the
residence halls that will be distributed
and collected by residence advisers.

This short survey will ask three
questions about the possibility of hav—
ing 24~hour visitation of the opposite

sex on the weekend.

The current policy allows the oppo-
site sex to visit from 2 pm. to midnight

Monday through Thursday.

On weekends, the hours are from 2

men, Tosti said.

Safety is a main concern of those
involved with the proposal. Tosti said
the policy would make work easier for
both residence advisers and staff.

“This would eliminate females sign-
ing in females for another person’s
boyfriend,” Tosti said. “If a problem
should arise, the RAs would know
exactl where the problem lies.

“The proposal is a win-win situation
for both the students and the Universi-
ty. It will increase housing options for
students and increase revenue for the
University. The retention rate of the
halls would also increase.”

The idea of 24-hour visitation on
the weekend has been in the works for
about a year. With the help of Resi-
dence Life and Housing research, they
were able to come up with a proposal.

During the summer, Tosti contact—

p.m. to 2 am Friday, noon to 2 am.
Saturday, and noon to midnight Sun—
day.

Brandon Tosti, head of the RHA,
stressed the importance of the survey.

“It is vital that the people who
receive the survey fill it out and return
it. We can't go through with the pro-
posal without the proposal of the stu-
dents,” Tosti said.

The proposal asks the opportunity
for a 24-hour visitation policy on the
weekends from Friday at noon until
Sunday at midni ht.

The roposa will be presented to
UK 0 fice of Residence Life in
November.

If passed, the policy will be imple-
mented next fall.

“I’m not really involved in the clique at SGA,” she
said. “I feel like this organization is turning me into a

The “pilot program” would involve
only two balls, one on North Campus
and another on South Campus. The
balls with the 24-hour weekend visita-
tion would be limited to upperclass-

ed between 25 and 30 schools to find
out their visitation policies. Most of
the universities be contacted had some
sort on4-hour visitation policy.

“The Directors of Residence Life at
these other campuses say that the stu—
dents are so accustomed to having this
right that they don’t think anything of
it,” Tosti said.

At the hearing of this proposal, both
students and residence advisers agree
that it’s a good idea.

“People go to college to have free-
dom and grow up. To not have the
right to have members of the opposite
sex in your room is ridiculous,” optom—
etry freshman Polly Nichols said.

“I’m all for it, but I believe it will
cause roommate conflicts," Haggin
Hall resident adviser David Stobaugh
said. “One roommate might feel
uncomfortable with having a member
of the opposite sex spend the night in
the same room.”

The 24-hour visitation roposal is
part of the Residence HalFImprove-
ment Plan, Tosti said.

Voelker said he was disturbed by the reasons Bauer
gave for her resignation.

“It kind of disturbed me when (Bauer) got up and
talked about not bein part of a clique at SGA,”
Voelker said. “I think t e problem was more or less
her non-commitment to the organization — not the
organization itself.”

Bauer, who is from Ohio and is trying to gain in-
state residency, said she doesn’t have enough time in
the day to work, attend classes and be involved in
SGA.

nunun Simpson speaks
with surprise phone call

LOS ANGELES — Speaking out for the first
time since his acquittal, ().J. Simpson assailed pros-
ecutors and le ral commentators last night for dis-
torting the triall evidence to make him look bad.

“My basic an er is these misconceptions," Simp-
son said in a phone call to CNN’s “Larry King
Live."

Simpson’s surprise phone call came during
Kin ’5 interview with lead defense attorney John—
nie Eochran Jr.

Simpson said prosecutors and legal commenta—
tors constantly misconstrued the evidence.

“My basic anger is people I've heard say, ‘I fol-
lowed the case.’ I‘ve heard experts say, ‘This was
the testimony today,’ and that wasn't the testimony
today,” Simpson said.

“In the beginning we learned stuff and opened

But Flea is not the only one going straight.

Lead singer Anthony Kicdis and new guitarist
