The executive branch is made up
of Freudenberg; John Cain. senior

executive vice president. all of
whom were elected in a campuswide
election in the Spring.

The positions of senior and exec-

The legislative branch. or Senate.
is comprised of 18 college senators.
15 at large senators and two Lexing-

senators are elected in October of
each year.

The Senate. which meets semi-

The Senate meets every other
Wednesday at 7:30. Although last
year's meetings were usually in the
Student Center. the meetings will be

 Precaution the key to safety,
according to UK police chief

By SACHA DEVROOMEN
Senior Staff Writer

In June. a UK student was mur-
dered on campus for the first time
in the University's lttlyear history.

The body of Lin-Jung Chen. a
chemistry graduate student, was
found in the Chemistry Physics
building on a Satunday morning, She
was strangled. according to coro-
ner’s reports. Paul Harrison. chief
of the University Police. said the
murder was “something that we
have been afraid of for years.“

The campus is very safe by most
standards. Harrison said. "In sight
of our geographical location and the
population we deal with. we are for-
tunate we have not had more prob—
lems than we‘ve had "

Theft is the most serious crime
problem on campus. he said.

Property worth $350,000 to $400000
was stolen from campus last year.
Harrison said. “It is the biggest
problem on campus ”

Thefts on campus go in trends. he
said. "A lot of crimes are season-
type crimes “ Bicycle thefts. which
are very common, are usually com-
mitted in the beginning of the Fall
semester and the end of the Spring
semester.

Residence hall theft is usually an
internal problem. but there are ex
ceptions. Harrison said “In some
cases. people wander off the streets
and steal from dorms. EspeCially in
c0ed«type dorms "

Anyone who sees someone acting
in a suspiCious manner should call
the campus police immediately. he
581d. "We want to know who the per-
son is and what he is domg on camv
pus ”

Although most of the Physical
Plant Dmston employees wear uni-
forms. Harrison cautioned against
being fooled by an imposter ”Even

people in uniform may be exem-
ployees. Find out what the person is
doing there if he acts suspicious. "

To prevent theft. the University
Police Department has an Operation
Identification Program. This is a na-
tionwide program of marking and
engraving property that‘s likely to
be stolen. he said.

Students may come to the records
department at the police station to
borrow an engraver. When stolen
property is engraved. it is difficult
for thieves to sell

The police department also has a
way of marking automobiles “We
engrave a social security number or
another number on the glass of the
car. We also put a sticker on the car
by the lock." He said this usually
works because the windshield IS an
expensive item to replace on the
car

Harrison said Commonwealth Sta-
dium is the most frequent location
for car thefts. There are two reasons
for this. he said. First. there are
more cars in that area than anyw-
here on campus. Second. the area is
away from activity

However. he said. there are not
many car thefts but a lot of thefts
from cars.

Bicycle theft is also a problem.
Harrison advised students who bring
bicycles to the L'mversxty to also
bring sturdy locks for them

The police department has 34 offi-
cers. and four officers are usually
on patrol each night “We would like
to have 34. " Harrison said

Harrison also warned against sex
crimes. the most common of which
are indecent exposure and Peeping
Toms "Sex crimes are a problem."
he said "Not a large problem. but a
problem "

Rape. however. is not very com-
mon. Harrison said A rape may
have been involved in the (‘hen case.

but authorities were not certain as
of this writing. The last rape report-
ed was about one year ago. “With
the volume of students we have. the
percentage of rapes and sexual as-
saults is very low,"

He suggested that if students have
a late class or are coming back
from the library late at night to get
a friend to walk with them. If that is
not possible. he said. there is not
much students can do.

He does advise students to call the
campus police department if they
are walking alone. Students should
tell them where they are walking
from and where they are walking to.
“The campus police can then patrol
that area."

He said the most dangerous areas
on campus are near Ml King Li-
brary. the Student Center and the
residence halls. “That is the line we
are strongly concerned with,"

Harrison encourages students to
stay on the well lighted streets and
to stay away from the isolated
areas: not to take the shortest way
home but the safest way

If someone becomes the victim of
any type of sexual assault. Harrison
said. they should first contact Uni-
verSity police Next. they should go
to the hospital emergency room.

Even when victims do not wrsh to
prosecute. they should still get a
medical exam and file a police re-
port. Harrison said. It will help in
case the victim deCides to prosecute
atalater date

If victims do not want to contact
the police. Harrison encourages
them to contact the Lexmgton Rape
('risis Center

in general. Harrison said. students
are much safer than they think. He
said that when campus crime rates
are compared. ['K has one of the
safest campuses

Independent Sim 1”!

James A. Stoll
Editorial Editor

 

 

in today ’s society

Where have all the flowers gone'.’ .
More importantly, where have all the flower children

gone?

Campus life has changed since the infamous “radical
'.“605 That period of our history brought us tied-dyed
jeans. psychedelic rock music, consciousness raising and
young people with social consciences.

In recent years. however, those items have been re-
placed by “Flashdance” fashions synthetic pop, cocktail
parties and young people with business acumen.

Nobody goes to demonstrations anymore.

The situation could be called lamentable. This is not to
say that the late ‘605 and early ‘705 were a time of only
goodness and light; it would be foolish to gloss over the
details of the time when waxing nostalgic. As a matter of
fact, the ‘60s brand of social conscience often produced so-

cial violence.

The lamentable part of our brave new campus is that
students no longer seem to care about relevant social is-
sues. It‘s not only lametable. it‘s dangerous. because the
problems of today‘s society are just as immediate as in
those of the past. The building's might not be burning any-
more, but the issues still are. And there aren't many stu-

dents ready to address them.

The cold war has heated up. US. military personnel has
been dispatched to foreign conflicts with alarming frequen-
cy. Toxic wastes threaten our environment. Nuclear war

threatens our existence.

We don't care. We've got grade point averages to worry

about.

The Chinese have an ancient curse that‘s delicately sub-
tle: "May you live in interesting times.“ The ancient
Chinese person who wrote the curse must have realized
how difficult it is to live in a fast-paced world.

It is difficult. and maybe that‘s why so many people
have withdrawn into the relative ease of apathy. But Ame-
rica is pluralistic society — one in which the many voices
of the people are supposed to be heard. If the people
choose not to speak. then we must all live with the conse-

quences.

No one wants yOung Americans to die in war. No one
wants civilization to end. But it will be too late to hold
peace rallies when the bombs start dropping.

Illusions

Welcome to the big time.

For incoming freshmen and trans-
fer students alike, the day has come
for a new beginning. There might
not be too many new beginnings left
for most of you, so make the best of
it.

Or don‘t. Frankly. Scarlett. it's
none of my business.

But before you resign yourself to
amused detachment and exile your-
self to a dorm room for four years
with nothing but reruns of “Love
Boat' to fill your leisure time. take
a moment to realize just what your
first day of classes (the ominous
Aug. 29) will mean.

Life at college is much more than
freedom from parents or religious
persecution. Your parents still know
where you are and an institution of
higher learning is one of the best
places to be persecuted for one's re-
ligion. If you are not hassled on
campus by evangelists or atheists
you can always visit local bars and
beshocked.

Heck. you can even visit some of
the racier shows produced by our
own theater department and be
mildly stunned.

You might even learn something.

Or not. Like I said. none of my
business.

Amid the flurry of your new world
— our familiar one — you will disv
cover a wealth of variation. You will
meet students who work two jobs to
pay for their education and you will
meet students who have all expenses
paid by Uncle Jed — with car and
checking account tossed in.

If you are among the former and
are meeting the latter for the first
time. do not feel sorry for yourself
You could have been born a Salva‘

The fact that you made it to col-
lege should be accomplishment
enough for now. If you fear you will
not be here next semester. or if fear
you will still be here six years from
now. take it from a veteran: you
have nothing to fear but bike thieves
and unidentifiable lumps in the cafe-
teria food

At UK you will meet professors
who would rather be somewhere
else and others who find a personal
joy in their daily instruction. You
will take good classes and pointless
ones. and your dead-ends will only
be outnumbered by your golden op-
portunities

Whether you are here to find your
self. prove yourself or hide out.

that only you can get yourself my

to admit it. You can only give so
much indm‘dual attention to every

Similarly. few of the many student
organizations will actively pursue

The point is that the organizations
on this campus are many and var-

can only be one reason: you haven't

The incoming freshman receives an earful of tedious advice

If it hasn‘t happened already. it
will start soon You. as a young col»
lege person. are about to corner the
market on adVice.

Your relatives will tell you to
major in anything that has the word
“computer" In it. Your parents will
tell you to study hard subjects and
drink soft drinks Your high school
guidance counselor will tell you to
go into engineering Fratermties and
sororities will mail you fliers that
encourage you to go greek Your
friends will tell you to forget about
classes and attend parties

Even the University of Kentucky
itself (known affectionately as Behe.
moth L‘ i will get into the act But
you have to go to them for the ad
vice.

They call it an adVismg confer
ence. Those of you that can find
your way around campus will be
herded into various buildings and
given enough adVice to make Ann
Landers seek profesSional counsel-
ing.

(One note about the advismg con-
ference: The people there will tell
you to bring a bucket to college Do
it. Don‘t ask questions. l

But the advrce won‘t stop there.
You'll get more of it from UK in the
mail 4 pamphlets. letters. notices
and. unfortunately. bills. Advertis-
ers will tell you to buy insurance for
your personal belongings and sub-
scribe to a laundry service for your
towels and pillow cases. The Univer-
Sity will advise you on when to come
to school. how to fill out bubble
sheets and. again unfortunately. how
to pay your fees

If you haven‘t guessed already,
I‘ll give you the straight poop — you
are in danger of being overadvised.

Too much advising can make you
ill And then you may do something
that's ill-advised,

You‘ll get sick of advice. ‘You'll
begin to get suspicious of it. You
won't believe any of it. You'll be a

confused. tortured. insane wreck
(By that time, you'll be ready for
college.)

So. before the deluge begins .r‘
earnest. let me give you a little at;
vice:

oSave every piece of mail the L'm-
versity sends you. Rumor has it that
you have to turn it all back in when
you graduate. In return, UK gives
youadiploma.

OGet involved in some type of
extracurricular activity. It can help
you meet people and do things. Too
much studying can and will drive
you crazy. So will boredom. Most of
the things you learn in your first
year will probably be outside the
classroom. anyway. It doesn‘t mat»
ter what activity you choose. but it's
a good idea to keep it legal.

OPractice staying awake for 36
hours at a time. The experience will
come in handy during midterm
exams and finals. It will also help
out during long-winded lectures on
warm afternoons.

OBuild up your tolerance to alco-

l

OBuild up your tolerance to red
tape.

-If you haven't already. memorize
your social security number.

OBring an umbrella. It does rain in
Lexington. But don‘t take your um-
brella near the Patterson Tower.
For some reason. that building is
the site of a natural wind tunnel that
would make the Wright Brothers
blush. It‘s where old umbrellas go to
die.

u‘Ii-y not to sign up for any 8 am.
classes. It doesn‘t seem too difficult
to get up early when you're in high
school. but you‘ve got to remember
that you're in college now. You're
not as young as you used to be. Of
course. it's often impossible to avoid
the dreaded early classes. The Uni-
versity has a funny way of schedul-
ing all the basic freshman require-
ments during the wee hours.

~Don't come here expecting to be
handed an education. UK is similar
to all other institutions of higher ed-
ucation; it offers facilities and in-
structors only. Usually. But the ac-
tive ingredient in your education
will have to be you. If you want to
learn. you'll have to work for it.

-Leam to budget your time. Col-
lege is demanding. You may have

been able to breeze through high
school. and you may be able to
breeze through UK But you'll spend
a lot more time and effort when you
breeze here.

-'I‘hink. And enjoy it. Expand your
intellectual horizons. Believe it or
not. you can do that here. UK has
some problems. but you can get
some intellectual enlightenment out
of this place if you want it. I think.
One of my roommates told me so.

088 aware of the following Free
dom is just another word for self-re-
sponsibility. You‘ll enjoy a lot of
freedom here. Maybe more than
you've ever experienced before. But
if you screw up. you'll be the one
who has to make amends. Mom and

Dad can‘t bail you out when they're
300 miles away.

OSpeaking of parents. write them
often. They're a good source of sta-
bility in what can be a chaotic fresh-
man year. They are also known to
send money on occasion. But try not
to lean on your parents too much. A
large part of the college experience
is just being on your own.

~"I‘ry not to take any of this college
stuff too seriously. Your time here
should be enjoyable. If it isn‘t.
you're doing something wrong.

weekday.
