when the institute gave UK a ”‘-"( on
the 2007 report card.

"We use a lot of electricity at UK
and all our heat is coal produced." said
Bob Wiseman. l'K’s vice president for

facilities management. “Energy use is
going to take a lot of work. The first
step is conservation."

Students living on campus can aid
l'K‘s fight to save energy by tuming the
lights off when they leave a room. Wise—
rrran said.

”Dorms are huge energy users. and
there are a lot of energy—using devices
that are very energy intensive." he said.
"Students can help by making some etl
forts in conservation."

The institute graded the 200 US.

Students who attend the rally

"People go out to Keeneland for
their homecoming festivities anyway."
said Christa Marrillia. Keeneland‘s
event coordinator.

UK is providing use of the univer~

Keeneland is covering the cost of ad—

happen regardless of inclement

"So many people come in from

SG passes
reduced

funds for
service trip

ELBlair Thomas
bthomas@kykernel.c0m

The Student Government Senate
was divided at last night‘s meeting over
legislation that requested funding for
two Greek projects.

Two resolutions. one asking for
$4.000 for a service project in New Or-
leans and the other requesting $3.747 to
fund a new bike path through sorority
circle off Columbia Avenue. both ac—
cepted friendly amendments to decrease
the money needed.

ln a 19—4 vote. the Senate approved
an amended $1.500 to help pay for the
Greek service trip.

The money will be used to pay for
hotel rooms for eight executive mem»
bers of the lnterlratemity Council. eight
from the Panhellenic Council and eight
from the National Parr-Hellenic Council
to travel to New Orleans for a two-day
service project with the Association of
Community Organizations for Reform
Now:

Several senators expressed concem
because of the amount of money going
to a project that isn‘t open to the entire
student body.

“This organization rarely funds
things that all UK students aren‘t invit-
ed to join.” said Graduate School Sen.
Noah Meeks. “l just don't see how we
can justify taking from a budget of stu—
dents' money when they aren‘t allowed
to go."

Sen. Jackie Colgate noted that IFC.
Panhellenic and NPHC all have their
own operating budgets.

As the days grow closer to all hallows
eve. fear escalates and people want to be spooked.
Sometimes students take road trips to supposedly haunted
houses in cities surrounding Lexington in hopes of being
scared. But this year. look no further than UK's campus for some
frightful tales of ghostly women. suicide and fallen carpenters.

Spindletop Hall

Late at night. in the hallways of the 72-year-old building. a blue dress can be seen. Inside
the flowered day dress there allegedly rests a transparent woman named Pansy.
Various staff members have spoken of the ghost at Spindletop Hall. UK's employee and alumni club. said Spindletop gen-
eral manager Gerald Marvel. who added that he has yet to see anything.
"I guess if you are a believer (in ghosts). it is possible to see something." Marvel said. “I am not a believer. so I has en‘t
seen anything."
But for both believers and skeptics. the story of Spindletop matriarch Pansy Bemadette Merritt Yount holds true.
Pansy and her husband Miles Frank Yount struck oil in Texas in I925. and they just happened to name the land
Spindletop. Marvel said. This discovery brought an immense amount of money. and Pansy Yount used some of this
money to build herself a stable of American Saddlebred horses.
Eight years to the day of their enriching discovery. Miles Frank Yount passed away. and Pansy took up
her belongings and moved to Kentucky. where she established Spindletop Farm in 1935. Pansy Yount left
Kentucky in 1955. Marvel said. and she sold the estate to UK in I957.
"She never felt accepted into the blue—blood culture in Kentucky." Marvel said. "She never felt

Patterson Hall

The door to the attic gaped open and was swinging back and forth as if a breeze was pushing it. However. no
one had been to the attic that day.
Farrah Dicken. director of Patterson Hall. said she encountered this scenario just a few days ago. She said no one has a key
to the attic accept for maintenance people. and no one had been called that day.
Still other times. she said. people claim to see the lights on in the attic.
The story that has spooked this fear of the attic is somewhat debated. Dicken said. Yet the core of the tale remains constant.
“A number of girls committed suicide in the attic. and the story says they haunt the building. specifically the attic Dicken said.
The time of the mass suicide is what remains to be debated. Dicken said she has heard four different stories.
When Patterson was first built. it was an all-girls domi and was purposefully placed away from the rest of the campus. [)icken said. One story is that the women were given a
hard time at school and that they killed themselves to escape from their hardships.
Two other stories Dicken said she has heard take place during World War I and World War II.
“Many of the girls had boyfriends and brothers in the w ar." she said. ”They killed themselves instead of dealing with
the difficult situation."
Finally. Dicken said she heard the girls committed suicide around the time that the stock market crashed in
1929 because their families had lost so much money.
Regardless of when the supposed suicides took place. students still enjoy sharing the tale and keeping
the haunted tradition alive.
"Freshmen come in and ask about the story becaUse they hayc heard about it front an older
sibling or friend. It is Just futi to think about." Dicken said. "People complain about L'K not
having traditions. but this is a spooky bent on one. It connects people who [be here with
people who used to."

‘Curse’ of musical composition

lands professor a national award

9139311!

nows©kyksmel com

Unlike many kids. when Joseph Baber was
young. he found adventure in writing music in-
stead of books or playing pretend.

“When I write my music. it is like Peter Pan
going to the window and seeing a whole new
world." he said. “My music is my adventure."

The UK music composition professor discov-
ered his talent around age l2. A national commu—
nity recognized it earlier this month when the
American Society of Composers. Authors and
Publishers presented him with the 2007-08 AS-
C APlus Award for writers of concert music.

Baber started composing music when he had
to miss a year of school because of an illness.
Practicing the violin for hours when he was sick
led Baber to his composing career. which he has
spent the past 35 years of at UK. he said.

"Composing music is a curse to me. I have
Baber said "Ultimate—
ly I have no reason to stop. This is all I know.“

Baber writes and perfomis musical composi»
tions for churches. schools and private-company
gatherings in the community and is the principle
viola in the Lexington Philhamionic.

His compositions include orchestral overtures.
suites, two symphonies. several marches and two-
tone poems. His most well known works are three
