Bulldozers and other machinery are common sights on campus these days thanks to nine construction projects in the works.

 

A new and improved Euclid

V

By Ashley York
NEVIS EDITOR

Doraine Bailey screamed
when asked about the Euclid
Avenue project getting ready
to begin in a few weeks. The
section of Euclid between Rose
St. and South Ashland will be
changed from four lanes to a
two- lane road with a center
turn lane and two bicycle lanes
on each side of the road.

“It‘s going to be wonder-
ful‘ she said.

Bailey, a citizen cyclist
and chair of the bicycle and
pedestrian advisory commit-
tee. feels relieved that Euclid
will soon accommodate bicy
clists, as well as motorists.

“Euclid is an important
road. It links student housing
with campus It links the
Chevy Chase area where a lot
of faculty and staff live with
campus. she said. “Bicyclists
dont ride their bikes in Lex
ington because they don‘ t feel
safe. The bike lanes will facili
tate the cyclists."

Bailey isnt the only one
who feels confident about the
Euclid project. Stuart Kearns
senior transportation planner
for Lexington‘ s transportation
center agrees that Euclid needs
to be reconstructed.

“The problem with Euclid
is that it needs repair‘ he said.
‘ There is a lot of congestion be-
cause there are only two lanes
of traffic. The center turn lane
to be added will free up traffic
because the people turning left
won t have to block traffic."

Kearns said that there
was controversy about which
travelers the road would bene-
fit most.

“When word got out (about
the project) there was a lot of
concern about the cyclists be
cause of the narrow bike lanes
We went back and forth. and fi-
nally worked out a compro-
mise." he said

As a compromise. the
transportation center. in agree-

ment with the Lexington
Fayette U1ban County (10V ern
ment decided to redesign Eu
Clid allotting12 feet for each
driving lane. seven feet for
each bike lane and a center
tum lane.

Bailey. Kearns and
Ballinger seem hopeful that the
center turn lane will create a
smoother flow of traffic. and
that bicyclists and pedestrians
will have more room to traV eI
safely to and frotn campus

Even though people ate
concerned about Euclid going
from four lanes of traffic to
only two lanes of t1affic
Ballinger said that the studies
suggest very little difference in
the flow of traffic. If anything.
theV believe the construction
will only make things run
smoother

”Theie have been studies
that suggest going from four to
two lanes is not going to affect
the traffic but we re going to
have to wait to see." Ballinger
said. “ The seven foot bike
lanes on the sides will promote
bikers to use the bike lanes op-
posed to the road.‘

Kearns feels confident
about the E uclid project If anV
thing. he sees the construction
as a solution to the hem ily con-
gested area.

“We are confident that the
finished road will be prettV
well accepted among the pedes-
trians and bicyclists." he said.

elebrate with an explosion

A sparkling July 4:
Fireworks, highlight of
independence Day

By Nathan Leigh

COlilRIBUTlNi; limit?

 

The 4th of .luly is :1 mar-
velous holiday. lt lasts all day.
unlike New Years and Hal-
loween. Everyone can share it.
unlike birthdays and anniver-
saries. And most importantly.
the weather is usually nice. un-
like the winter holidays. In
short. independence Day is the
best of all worlds.

While the most important
part of a memorable July 4th par-
ty is probably the food. fireworks
are a close second. Those inter-
ested in arranging their own fire—
work show have many questions
to answer. Who is their audiv
ence'.’ What type of fireworks
would they like best? When and
where should one buy them? And
how should the show be orga»
nized. once a rough budget has
been settled upon?

One‘s audience will most
likely be a mixture of adults and
children. Rick Penick of Dave‘s
Fireworks suggests a 10-20
minute show for both parties. fol-
lowed by a smaller show just for
the kids.

“Kids really like fireworks
with wheels. things shaped like a
plane or a tank. They're fairly
cheap. and can even be played
with afterwards. too," Penick
says,

There are literally thousands
of different firework products for
sale nationally, under hundreds
of different brand names. The se-
lection is much more limited in
Kentucky. however. KRS
227.702“) forbids the sale of any
airborne firework. or any fire-
work whose packaging includes
the words “Explosive." “Warn-
ing." "Emits Flaming
Pellets ' Balls." “Firecrackers."
"Report." or “Rocket." In short.
all legal fireworks are variations

on a fountain concept: a device
firmly rooted on the ground
which shoots up colored sparks.

“It‘s really just whatever
catches your eye." says Vernie
Clark. the Freedom Fireworks
Area Manager for Kentucky.
“There's all different colors and
sizes. Some last longer than 0th
ers. The best way to tell is by
how heavy the firework is. The
more stuff. the longer and
brighter it will burn.“

Refillable fountains are also
available; these usually have a
picture of a cartoon devil on the
front of the wrapper and are
available at any of the places you
buy fireworks at.

Snappers. small packages
that emit a loud “pop" when
thrown against a hard surface.
are also popular, according to
Freedom Fireworks' Lindi Hudo
son.

“The classics will always be
around. Sparklers always sell
well. as does anything that

 

makes an unusual noise."

This seems to be the largest
growth area for the firework
business. according to Hudson.
Newer products not only pop anti
whistle. but also roar or buzz like
angry bees.

The actual purchasing of the
fireworks is the easy part. Tem-
porary stands have popped up all
over Lexington. starting around
the third week of June. Since the
vast majority of their business
will be done in July itself. many
are running buy-one~get-one~free
specials to attract early shop-
pers. But even procrastinators
are not entirely out of luck. as
slow-moving products will be
marked down to clear valuable
shelf space.

The organization of one‘s
firework show is what will ulti-
mately separate the warriors
from the wanna-hes. Penick.
Clark. and Hudson all agree that
the ideal show would be some-
where between 20 and 30 min-

Flroworks in Lexing-
ton can he viewed
from many streets in
downtown Lexington.
They will he set off In

Street parking lot.

starts at 10 pm.

utes. This would require roughly
a $200 budget. though pre-
wrapped “value packs" could cut
that by up to $50. Both the prices
and the selection are reputed to
be much better at firework su-
perstores in Tennessee. which
are usually located directly off of
l-75. The closest of these is a little
over two hous away.

Safety precautions should al-
ways be taken when handling
fireworks. no matter how small
or harmless-looking they may ap-
pear. Long-handled lighters
should be used. like the kind de
signed for gas fireplaces. Some
type of protective eyewcar is also
recommended. Only one device
should be lit at any given time. to
minimize the risk of fire. Chilv
dren should be fully supervised
at all times: they should never be
allowed to light the fireworks
themselves. Most importantly.
always aim any firework away
from spectators. Have a safe and
happy Independence Day!

University of Kentucky Department of
infectious Disease Research is conducting
clinical research with a Variceila vaccine
(chicken pox). This vaccine is for persons
13 years of age and older who have never
had chicken pox and would like to be vac-

cinated against it.

The study involves 3 blood draws and 2
SO shots and keeping an oral temperature
diary for 42 days after each vaccination.
There will be a gift certificate given to each
person completing the series.

Dave Matthews Band took stage Monday and Tuesday at Cincinnati's

Riverbend Music Center. The band welcomed several guests. including
keyboardist Butch Taylor who played with the band on their last tour.

June 26 set list

Arriving on stage just before 8:30 pm, Dave and the boys played well
past 11 pm. The set list consisted of older stuff in addition to newer songs
off their upcoming album. The band stayed away from their popular hits and 1
focused on the songs that the group likes to jam out on. Highlights included
"One Sweet World" and "Song That Jane Likes," two songs off their first
album Remember Two Things. The newer songs "Grey Street," "JTR,"
"Diggin A Ditch" and "Bartender," were impressive because of Dave's new
- Patrick Avery

After realizing that all of my favorite Dave songs were played on the previ-
ous night, I still looked forward to hearing fresh music. I had awesome pavil-
ion tickets, which 1 sat in for the first few songs, but then realized that the
party was in the lawn. Dave played his popular hits like "Satelite" and
"Rhyme & Reason," so paying close attention wasn't necessary. DMB spiced
things up with Johnny Cash's "Long Black Veil,‘l off their Listener Supported
CD. It was great to hear a song. aside from a new one, that wasn't so well
known. Although I would've preferred to attend the first night's concert, DMB

The basics
on the
human
genome
project

The following is a brief
listing of data and
basic information
related to the
human genome
sequencing project
which was
completed last
Tuesday. Have fun!

- number of years it
took the National
Human Genome
Research Institute
to complete the
sequencing project.

- number, in billions, of
subunits of DNA that
had to be decoded
and placed in order
by the research
team.

— length, in feet, a
single chromosome
in a human cell
would stretch out to
if fully uncoiled.

- the number of said
chromosomes
contained in each
cell of the body.

— amount. in thousands,
of genes located in
the entire human
genome. These
genes are what
determine our eye.
hair. and skin color,
in addition to many
other
characteristics.

- number of individual
nucleic acids that, in
various
combinations and
sequences. make up
the human genome.
The billions of DNA
particles within the
genome are only
made up of these
four.

Genome project will advance medical research in many areas

In our technologically advanced
world today, it's often that we take new
discoveries in the world of science and
medicine for granted. These days, we ex-
pect our leading scientists, armed with
the latest information, sophisticated in-
struments and extensive financial back-
ing, to cure what ails us. We no longer
live under the threat of diseases like p0-
lio or smallpox. We’ve become accus-
tomed to relying on our doctors and re-
searchers to always have the answers, or
to be constantly on the verge of discover-
ing them.

So when something truly monumen-
tal happens in the world of science and
health, it‘s only then that we’re remind-
ed just how far we’ve come in a few short
years. Earlier this week, such an accom-
plishment occurred.

Last Tuesday, the White House, in
conjunction with the National Human
Genome Research Institute, announced
that scientists and researchers, who had
been working diligently for ten years,
had finally finished a rough draft of the
human genome sequence. This sequence,
which is contained in each human cell in
the body, is made up of 4 nucleic acid
bases coded in a special sequence unique
to humans. Decoding the genome in the
correct sequence and order is the key to
beginning to understand how genes af-
fect not just our physical appearance
(they dictate our height, hair color, eye
color, and race, among other things) but
how they affect our tendencies toward
certain genetic disorders or diseases.

The decoding of the human genome is
a feat in itself; a historic and extraordi-
nary accomplishment for everyone in-
volved, and an impressive example of
how far our own intelligence, determina-
tion, and diligence has taken us. But the
discovery is only the beginning, accord-
ing to experts. Decoding the genome will,
in time, give us the opportunity to study
a complete picture of our own genetic
building blocks, and to begin to finally
understand just what role they play in
the development of each individual’s ap-
pearance, physical well-being and mental
health.

Though scientists have speculated for
years that genes are primarily responsi-
ble for diseases like cancer and mental
disorders like schizophrenia, finally hav-
ing the information in front of them will
allow researchers to discover what spe-
cific role genetics play in the develop-
ment of these disorders. And through un-
derstanding will come better medical
treatments.

We applaud the scientists, experts
and researchers who were all involved in
this project. Though the effort took years
to finally see results, the decoding of the
genome could eventually prove to be one
of the most fruitful discoveries of mod-
ern science. Through it, terminal dis-
eases could be cured, mental disorders
controlled, and some diseases even pre-
vented through gene therapy. The possi-
bilities are promising, and this first vic-
tory is a sign of the breakthroughs to
come.

New Dean of Students may not
have best interests of the
students in mind

TO THE EDITOR:

According to the Kernel’s lead article on June 8th, Mr. Haz-
ard would have preferred to be a professional basketball player
and he’s certainly "not cheering" about becoming UK's Dean of
Students in August (when Dean Stockham retires).

It's the "experience of the staff" that make the job appealing
to him and, besides, it‘s the "next step" (for a salary increase, ev-
idently). Could anyone possibly be less excited about a promo-
tion or seem to want it for more of the wrong reasons?

Not once does the future Dean of Students mention that he
would like to serve UK's student population or that he even
likes students (in fact, he manages never to mention the word
"student" other than in the context of his new title).

The position of Dean of Students can be of great impor-
tance to the students of UK. Shouldn‘t the person who fills this
position really want the job and be sensitive to the students'
needs?

After all, Mr. Hazard could find his "next step" in a myriad
of other departments in the University that also boast an expe-
rienced staff.
