Police chief asks two-wheelin' trailblazers to brake

An increase in complaints
caused acting UK Police Chief
Kevin Franklin to
ask students yes-
terday to not to
ride bicycles on re-
stricted areas on
campus.

Franklin said
he has received an
increase in com-
plaints of cyclists
on sidewalks in
Central Campus,
bounded by Rose Street, Washing-
ton Avenue, South Limestone Street
and Patterson Drive.

“People are starting to ignore
the rules a little bit." he said. “I’m

“In years past, we‘ve had people

and you hit somebody go-

“We’ve had broken

While officers are cur-

seen cycling through cam-

said. Citations include a $25 fine.

Famous author Wendell Berry gathered
a handful of fellow authors and friends, in—
cluding UK English professor Erik Reece.
for a flight above Kentucky coal country.

What Reece saw shocked him.

“You can’t understand how bad it is un-
less you’re in a plane,” said Reece about that
plane ride. Driven by what he saw. Reece be-
gan writing about what he saw and is now a
four-year veteran of the mountaintop re-
moval coal mining issue.

Reece will join other artists, performers
and academics for “Lost Mountain: A Look
at Mountaintop-Removal Coal Mining in
Kentucky,” a three-day teach'in beginning
today

“This is definitely a story that needs vi-
suals,” Reece said of the coal-mining docu-
mentaries being shown today in the Student
Center. A panel discussion will follow the
screening, and will start at 4 pm. in Room
230 of the Student Center.

Other educators are taking part in the
activities as well.

Wallins Elementary School teacher Ju-
dith Hensley will discuss the role her stu-
dents played in preventing the removal of
Black Mountain, Kentucky‘s highest point,
by coal companies. She’ll speak about the
importance of individual participation to-
morrow at 12:30 pm. in Room 158 of the
Taylor Education Building.

Several Kentucky authors and students
will gather at 4 pm. tomorrow in the Center
Theater in the Student Center for “Voices to
the Hills," a selection of readings about
Black Mountain.

Finally, on Friday, the teach-in will cul-
minate with “Lost Mountains, Found Voic-

Mad? Not in their Big Blue world

 

 

CQMMENTARY
By Chris Johnson

A group walks past Memorial Colise-
um, notices three guys that are obviously
too old to be in college out on the side-
walk playing cornhole. surveys the tents
rope-tied to the ticket booths, and the
bravest group member asks the burning
question:

“Are you guys camping?“

The three men look at one another,
give a mumbled response. and continue
tossing bags as the girls walk away.

“Sometimes, we get people asking re-
ally stupid questions, like that one," Ja-
son Ryan, 30, says. “We tell them stuff
like, ‘Yeah, we’re waiting for an Eagles
concert.”

Ryan, from Florence, Ky. is hunkered
down for his 15th year of waiting in line
for tickets to UK's Big Blue Madness, the
annual kickoff to basketball practice that
sells out the 5,80flseat coliseum. This sea-
son, it‘s moved to Rupp Arena for the first
time,

Tickets are free, and each person
waiting in line gets a maximum of four.
This year, the tickets are available begin-
ning Saturday and Ryan and his cohorts
— Jed Ashcraft, 42, of Dry Ridge, Ky..
and Donnie Gray, 50, of Owensboro, Ky —-
got into town last Sunday

Ashcraft, Ryan and Gray have taken
off a week's worth of work to camp;

day after he heard the date of Big Blue
Madness to request his week.

Merits of fuel rationing debated

Campus weighs in on call to cut back gasoline use

By Ryan Evans

TN! KENTUCKY KENNEL

A recent call from President Bush to
conserve fuel in light of shortages has
spurred some UK students, faculty and
staff to save, but others said they won't
change their habits.

During an address Monday, Bush asked
the nation to actively conserve gasoline by
carpooling and only driving for “essential"
reasons.

The request has met a mixed reaction
from UK faculty many of whom plan to
continue with their usual routines. Some
of UK's faculty have already found alter-
natives to driving to work. Some have sim-
ply walked or biked to campus for years;

.mumwmam

others already carpool to work.

“I just walk to work, so I'm not really
affected by the request," said history pro-
fessor David Gargola.

Others limit their amount of driving.

“I usually bicycle here everyday, and
drive only when it's absolutely necessary"
said philosophy professor Ronald Bruzina.

Students have also been affected by the
president’s request and some who had nev-
er considered the gasoline situation before
have now taken a vested interest.

“I'd never really thought about the gas
situation before Monday" said undeclared
sophomore Greg Sanders. “I don't know
how this will change what I do, but it'll

UK officials adjust to higher fuel costs

By Julie Fitzpatri_ck
Tit‘mnucxv mm

UK has been feeling the
pinch from rising gas prices.
but university officials said
students won’t immediately
be on the receiving end of
any effects related to in-
creased fuel costs.

There has been a 50 per-
cent increase in fuel costs for
the university since last year,
said Don Thornton, director
of UK Parking and Trans-
portation Services. Thornton
said those numbers aren‘t ex
pected to decline in the near
future. but students will like
1y not see any effects.

“This has not modified at

all services provided."
Thornton said.

The Physical Plant Divi-
sion has also not changed the
services it provides, and has
no plans to consolidate. said
Jack Applegate. director of
the Physical Plant Division.
Of its 28 transportation vehi-
cles. none has been eliminat-
ed in the past year for fuel-re-
lated reasons, he said.

But this doesn‘t mean UK
isn't affected by soaring gas
prices.

Applegate said he has
concerns with conserving en-
ergy

According to Applegate.
the price of coal has gone up

44% in the past year. and is
now costing almost $106 per
ton. up from $73 per ton last
year. The total for both coal
and natural gas is almost
$1.25 million more than last
year.

Gasoline has cost UK
more than $75,000 in previ-
ous years. he said. But that
number is expected to more
than double by the end of
this year. and UK‘s total bill
has already passed the
$100,000 mark this year. he
said.

“(There's) not much more
we can do to conserve," Ap
plegate said.

cats" emblazoned on the back.

“We been coming out here
five years." Wafford said. “The
last three. I've been first in line.”

Ryan and his crew dispute
this claim. but not openly. and
this year they have a right to.
Though Wafford's tent has been
in front of the arena since shortly
after Labor Day. it's Ryan’s tent
that is roped to the metal bars
separating the ticket lines.

“1 was here first." Wafford
says. looking up plaintively. “1
been here three weeks."

Wafford lives up Lexington
Avenue. and wheels up to Good
Samaritan Hospital for meals
twice a day. He brought his pos-
se 'sions in what he calls his
"garage." a tarp tightly wrapped
in a semi-circle around
PVC pipe. When it
rains. Wafford keeps
his chair dry by park-
ing it under the tarp.

pract ices. " Waffi ird
said. “i used to watch
them practice in the
‘50s. and he‘d send them chasing
after me. but they couldn‘t get me
because I was so small and fast."

One gets the impression that
Wafford is making it up as he
goes along. a musing that is not
hindered by Ryan. Ashcraft and
(lray refitting every claim Waf-
ford makes.

“The time he‘s been here gets
longer every time you ask him."
Ryan grumbles. “He's just doing
it for the publicity"

"He‘s the most knowledgeable
UK fan in the World." Ryan says
sarcastically at the first mention
of Wafford. “Hell. he thinks Bran-
don Stockton‘s white."

Ryan‘s 15th year of waiting in
line has made the concrete in
front of Memorial Coliseum a sec-
ond home of sorts. The triumvi-
rate gets into town Sunday. set its
tents up. goes to Hooters on
Wednesday. and grills steaks Fri-
day

“The first year. i came up with
a buddy of m Ryan said. “We
got here at 7 o‘clock the night of.
and ended up in line two blocks
away i said. ‘l‘m not doing that

Ryan thinks a week of sitting
out for tickets is as long as anyone
should go.

get a good seat after a week of sit-
ting here. you shouldn’t be out
here."

“Usually. we cook out on Fri-
days." Ryan said. “Tubby (Smith.
UK head men‘s basketball coach)
has come out here a few times
and eaten steak with us."

About this time. Stockton dri-
ves by in a gold SUV and waves
out the window.

“That's Brandon." Ryan says.
He says it like someone waiting
outside for tickets to an N'Syne
concert would say. “That’s
Lance."

The campers. though they just
sit around outside Memorial Coli-
seum for a week talking to each
other. claim not to get bored.

“There’s always someone to
talk to. something to do." Wafford
said.

“It's usually just us. until
Thursday." Ryan said. “Then. the
bars empty and the drunks come
out."

Gray said the worst that has
happened to the trio are
pranks.

“Somebody threw a
milkshake once." Gray
said. “Last year. they
threw carrots one
year. they stole my UK
flag.“

Yeah. it‘s slightly pa-
thetic to us. students
who get tickets for the
games the week of. at the lotter-
ies. Yeah. they're a little bit too
hardcore. Yeah. they have ridicu-
lous rivalries with the other fans.

But the police stop by. Ryan
said. and ask if everything is
okay. he men sit outside and
play cornhole all day. when they
aren't helping each other get
more comfortable or passing the
time by talking to Wafi‘ord.

They aren't causing trouble.
doing drugs. or chasing co-eds
around campus.

These ar \ three guys that sim-
ply love UK basketball. and have
no ulterior motives. other than to
enjoy the first practice of the year
with the same fervor that they’ll
display the rest of the year.

“I come down to see people. to
do things." Wafford said. “It's
about the camaraderie."

So resist the temptation the
next time you're walking home
from wherever. have a cold one in
your hand and see the tents stand-
ing guard in front of the ticket
booths.

These guys don't want any-
thing from you. unless you're
wearing a jersey.

If that‘s the case. all they want
is a good show

And a national title. if you
don‘t mind.

Franklin said.

Franklin said particular attention is being
paid to bicycles parked “in any kind of area

where it's against a building or creates any type
of hazard where people can't walk through it.
“That has to do with fire code. not so much

our regulations." Franklin said.

Students are also not allowed to lock their
bicycles to an entrance or exit ramp stairway or
railing, against any outside fixtures such as
lamp posts. inside any building or against any

trees or foliage.

“We don‘t want to have to start going
around and aggressively enforcing the bike reg-
ulations." he said. “We‘re just asking people to
use common sense. follow the regulations and

 

make campus a little safer for everybody"
Pamphlets identifying riding and parking
areas for bikes on'campus and in Lexington are

Franklin asked students to call him directly at

Contributors to the event said
they're glad to generate attention
about the coal industry.

“The science aspect of moun-
tain-top removal overshadows
everything." said Nick Smith, one
of the contributors to Thursday‘s
readings.

Smith. a native of Knox County.

where underground mining is com-
mon. believes poetry allows him to
humanize the issue.

“When people get numbers
thrown at them. it‘s hard for them
to fathom." he said.

“But if someone‘s house is de-
stroyed by blasting. or someone‘s
dog is killed. it‘s easier to relate to."

Reece will deliver a talk about
the environmental impact of moun-
taintop-removal at tomorrow‘s read-
mg.

“I don't think you can separate
the people from the environment."
Reece said.

“Because when you hurt the en-
vironment. you hurt the people."

Earlier this spring. Harper's
Magazine published “Lost Moun-
tain." an essay by Reece that de-
scribed mining operations and their
effects in Hazard County. Its publi-
cation has since brought national
attention to the cause. an effect Re-
ece is grateful for.

According to Project Censored. a
Sonoma State University study of
the most underreported news sto-
ries. mountaintop removal was list-
ed at number 10.

“This is a really important issue

we feel people need to be aware of."
Shaunna Scott. director of the Ap-
palachian studies program at UK
said.

“There's not a very high quality
public discourse about this yet."
said Scott. a primary organizer for
the teach-in. “We're just trying to
nudge the topic forward.

“We should care about our
neighbors." she continued. “Every-
thing's interconnected."

Others say that the re-
quest is impractical.

“Even still. I think that
asking an entire nation to
change everything is im-
practical, and won‘t do any-
thing to curtail the gas situ-
ation," Bruzina said.

“Well. as I walk to class.

Gas

Continued from page i

 

Bill Peterson. director
of management operations
at UK. said the price of
gasoline has gone from
“fairly insignificant to
very significant."

“Fuel has been killing
us." he said.

Peterson also heads
Motor-Pool. a car rental
agency specifically for
UK's faculty and staff. He

said rising gas prices have
sparked a heightened in-
terest in the service. Facul-
ty and staff members are
finding it less expensive
than driving their own
cars on business trips.

"We are trying to meet
the needs for as many peo-
ple as possible." Peterson
said.

The university is also
making efforts to control
the gas problem on cam-
pus. Solutions to the prob-
lem may include obtaining
newer. more efficient vehi-
cles. and adding to the go-
carts frequently seen on

campus. Applegate said.

Buildings are also shut
down at night to conserve
power. a practice that has
been implemented since
the 19705. Applegate said.

From his side. they‘re
doing all they can. he said.

President Bush Views areas hit hard by Rita

By Craig Gordon
NEWSDAV

IN THE AIR OVER THE LOUISIANA COAST
>-: From this vantage point. the little town of
Cameron looks like a giant came through and
squashed the buildings flat.

The shattered remnants are surrounded by a
foot or two of water. much more in some places.
Big things —— a boat. a recreational vehicle. an oil
tank. electric towers — are tumbled and flipped
like toys. A riverboat has run aground nearby.

The people may have gotten out alive but their
community is all but washed off the map.

That‘s the way Hurricane Rita's handiwork
looked from the sky yesterday as President Bush
made a helicopter tour of the destruction on his
seventh trip to this seemingly weather-cursed re-
gion.

Bush appealed for patience from residents
frustrated that they can‘t go home and pledged
again to throw the weight of the federal govern-
ment behind the recovery effort. here and in his
home state of Texas.

“This area’s hurting." Bush said in Beau-
mont. Texas. another area hit hard by Rita. “I saw
firsthand how it’s hurting."

At this point. Bush has said plenty about his
whatever-it-takes commitment to rebuild this re—
gion. so his trips now are less about fresh propos—
als and more about conveying that he hears the
problems “loud and clear." as he said yesterday

after his helicopter tour.

The one set of proposals the White House did
unveil yesterday was decidedly small-bore and
largely symbolic — new Bush-ordered energy
conservation measures like turning off printers
and copiers overnight at the White House and
shortening his motorcade by a few cars on this
trip.

And the needs he said the government will
help address are the most basic clean water.
fresh food. working sewers. fuel for police cars ~~
details usually far below a president’s purview.
but not for this one. still seeking to regain lost
ground from public criticism of his response to
Hurricane Katrina.

One look at places like Cameron. however.
even from the air. shows just how much work is
left to be done. even from Rita, which hit with far
less force than feared.

As Bush‘s helicopter and a pair of chase heli-
copters traveled roughly due east from Beau-
mont. the scenes grew worse. Beaumont suffered
damage ~ like a tank farm of gasoline tanks sit-
ting in ponds of water but the damage was less
total. with some homes surviving largely un-
scathed but buildings nearby having their roofs
sheared off. A little farther on. there was a
sunken barge in one canal but five others headed
out to sea in another.

Then tiny Cameron. once boasting a popula-
tion of 1.900. came into view. Local emergency of-
ficials had estimated that 90 percent of the com-

munity‘s homes were destroyed. and few who saw
it from the air would quibble with that estimate.
Streets were submerged. Single-family homes
were turned into piles of sticks. Row upon row of
trees were snapped off and pushed to the ground
like bowling pins. roots and all in the air.

The storm has left residents without work. It
damaged shrimp boats and eliminated ice and
electricity fishermen need to preserve their
catch.

Hundreds of cattle lay dead along roadways
and in fields. often after having drunk salt water
that covers the ground.

Bush‘s helicopter then headed out to sea a
short distance and circled an offshore oil—rig -
seemingly idled but showing no obvious signs of
damage.

Speaking to reporters later. Bush ignored a
question about former Federal Emergency Man-
agement Agency chief Michael Brown's testimo-
ny critical of state and local response to Hurri-
cane Katrina and stuck to his message of the day:
patience.

“I understand there’s a lot of frustrations.
People who are scattered around want to come
back and see their homes. They want to come
back to the communities they love.

“But it's very important for them to under-
stand that now's not the time for them to come
back." he said.
