leading students in march
downtown to fight proposal

By Rlcliard Cook

STAFF WRITER

Who says you can't fight city hall?

Not Nate Brown. president of the Stu-
dent Government Association. He will lead
a march on a city council meeting today to
protest what some have called a 'Band-Aid
solution' to overcrowding and noise prob—
lems in neighborhoods around campus.

The protest will start at noon in front
of the Patterson Office Tower and will pro-
ceed down to city hall for the 1:30 pm. city
council meeting.

"We want to stress that students want
to be a part of looking into what the needs
of the community are.” Brown said.

The 'Band-Aid solution‘ is an effort by
councilman Dick DeCamp's ad hoc commit-
tee of neighborhood improvement to re
duce the number of non-related persons re
siding in the same housekeeping unit to
three. The solution would. DeCamp said.

Couch bruises throwing shoulder

The X-rays on UK quarterback Tim Couch‘s
right shoulder show no injury, according to a re-
lease from UK Sports Information. Couch’s
throwing shoulder is bruised and sore, and he
will rest the shoulder as a precautionary mea~
sure during the next two weeks. He is slated to
return to practice on Dec. 7.

It was feared Couch's shoulder was separat—
ed after injuring it against Tennessee on Satur-
day. He also bruised the shoulder against Van-
derbilt two weeks ago.

Dig for Gacy victims finds nothing

CHICAGO — A dig for more victims of serial
killer John Wayne Gacy turned up no human re-
mains, two decades after police unearthed more
than two dozen bodies from beneath his home.
Instead of bones, crews that dug outside an apart-
ment building where Gacy’s mother once lived
found a flattened sauce pan, a glass marble, a
chunk of concrete and a 2 1/2~foot length of wire.
No further digging will take place, police said. In
all, 33 deaths have been linked to Gacy. He died
in the execution chamber in 1994.

software market and not, as the government con-
tends, a monopolist trying to crush its rivals. But
an economist testifying for the government said
Microsoft’s actions may have driven Netscape to
seek help from companies like America Online.

Mr. Black UK, so we know
what it takes to put on a
pageant," Day said.

“It’s been an intensive
process from advertising to
holding interest meetings to
having rehearsals," Day said.
“In fact we have had three re-
hearsals this week alone."

The six-member contest
was divided into four areas of
competition: African wear,
talent, evening wear and in-
terview.

Marketing freshman Mar«
cus Harris said his favorite
segment was talent.

Carr and Walker played
piano compositions, Massey
and Stafford sang, Starks re-
cited poetry and Moss per-
formed a mime piece.

During the combined
evening wear/interview por-
tion of the show. contestants
answered questions such as,
“What makes a good role mod-
91‘?" and “What is the most
pressing problem facing the
AfricanAmerican communi—
ty?"

Marketing senior Tawan-
ta Cox, who has attended sev-
eral of the pageants over the
years, said the event is impor-
tant.

“I like seeing someone
who looks like me wearing a
crown," Cox said. “I think it
means a lot for the UK
African-American community
to have events like this.”

Area businesses, other
Greek organizations and a res-
idence hall floor supported the
event.

In addition, as a way to
support the youth, intermis-
sion entertainment was pro-
vided by T.D.T., a dance
troupe of 10- to 18-year-olds
from the West End Communi-
ty Empowerment Project of
Lexington.

The pageant was just one
of the programs offered from
Nov. 1521 as part of the Nation-
al Pan-Hellenic Council/ Black
Student Union Week.

Other programs included a
Black Graduate Student Semi-
nar and a forum discussing
censorship in music.

“Co-sponsoring a week
shows that there's unity
among African-American or-
ganizations." Day said.

After being crowned Ms.
Nubian, Moss said she was
happy to have won and that
she takes her title and the re-
sponsibility it takes seriously.

“By being in the pageant,
I had the opportunity to get to
know more students at UK,”
Moss said.

UK organization
kicks off drive

Circle of Love group asking students, faculty
to donate clothes to kids this holiday season

By I“ VMII
51m mm

The Circle of Love kicked
off Friday to usher in the sea-
son of giving, calling upon fac~
ulty, staff and students to ex-
tend their generosity.

The campus charity organi-
zation works with Fayette and
surrounding county schools to
obtain Christmas gifts for dis-
advantaged children.

“If some of our parents
didn’t have assistance from
them (the Circle of Love), they
wouldn’t have a Christmas
with presents," said Angela
Brown, a child guidance spe~
cialist at Lynlee Elementary.

Tables set up around cam-
pus and at the UK Hospital fea-
ture wish lists of children who
can be “adopted" as gift recipi-
ents.

“The Medical Center has
something like 800 names, and
the Lexington Campus has as
many,” said Bonnie Thornton,
chair for the Medical Center’s

arm of the project.

The Circle of Love splits
collection responsibility be-
tween the Medical Center and
the rest of the campus.

“It helps make the holi-
days special for some chil-
dren," Thornton said. “Last
year we gave 37 bicycles, and
even some Nintendos."

Brown said typical gift
items include dolls for girls and
video games for boys, but
clothes usually top the need list.

Anne Coke, Circle of Love
coordinator and executive as-
sistant for the office of the vice
chancellor’s for Student Af-
fairs, said sponsoring a child
is a worthy endeavor.

“Being involved makes
you reflect on what you have
and how thankful you are,”
Coke said.

Counselors with the fami-
ly resource centers at each
school work with the parents
of children to make wish lists,
obtaining clothing sizes, fa-
vorite colors and things the

children want, Coke said.

The children then name a
first-, second and thirdchoice
gift, as well as a dream gift,
she said.

“We’ve used a J.C. Penney
catalog to help the children
pick items," Brown said.
“They were kind of over-
whelmed by the choices."

The gifts are collected on
Dec. 7 and 8. sorted and hand-
ed over to representatives
from the schools to be given to
the parents.

“Bless their hearts, many
of them have never had any
new clothes, and they think
it's so cool," Brown said.

The Lexington Campus di-
vision deals with schools in
Fayette County.

The Medical Center divi-
sion works with two Fayette
County schools and elemen-
tary schools in Clark, Bour-
bon, Scott, Jessamine and
Woodford counties, Thornton
said.

Those who wish to partici-
pate but can’t drop by a setup
can call Denise Stephens at
257-1099 or Bonnie Thornton at
323-6023.

 

SPRINKLE

Continued from page 1

Press Editors Association in
Louisville on Nov. 13.

“It would be a significant
shift in state policy if we began
to support room and board,”
Patton said.

Although state law does not
require sprinklers in all dormi-
tories, several Kentucky univer-
sities have come to an unwrit-
ten agreement to install them
campuswide, and are asking for
state funds, Blanton said.

“We have obviously taken
the position that we were going
to deal with our fire-safety is-
sues out of our housing opera-
tions," said Ed Carter, vice
chancellor for Planning, Bud-
geting and Effectiveness.

New sprinklers and smoke
detectors, which will be installed
in remaining UK residence halls
and Cooperstown and Shawnee-
town apartment complexes dur-
ing the next four years, will not
raise student rates, administra-
tors said yesterday.

UK has traditionally fund-
ed sprinkler and fire-safety sys-
tems through housing opera-
tions, Carter said.

Allen Rieman, director of
Auxiliary Services. said UK
plans to install the equipment
even if the state fire marshal‘s
office currently does not re-
quire it.

The $2.4 million for new fire-
safety equipment will come from
a reserve fund, which would be
replenished by normal fees over
the next decade, Blanton said.

 

PROPOSAL

ing, but none showed.

Mike Meuser, president of
the Aylesford Neighborhood
Association, said the problem
with non-relatives sharing
housing stems from the large,
noisy parties.

“The no alcohol on campus

policy is a major issue,” he
said. “The parties all moved off-
campus (and into the nearby
neighborhoods)."

Holly Harris, president of
the Panhellenic Society, said
she thought that many off-cam-
pus parties were not thrown by
UK students.

In addition, Monica Frye,
Student Activities Board presi-
dent, said fewer students in a
household won’t necessarily
stop parties.

“Three people can throw

just as big a party as seven,”
she said.

Students also questioned
the legality of the resolution.

According to the fair hous-
ing laws, it is illegal to ask
renters if they are related or
married, said Keisha Carter,
an SGA senator-at-large and
political science and history
sophomore.

Students also questioned
how officials would enforce the
resolution when some current
housing ordinances —— such as

minimum living space allotted
per occupant — are not fully en~
forced.

Overall, students said they
felt they were getting kicked
out of their homes and pushed
out of neighborhoods surround-
ing UK.

Katie Hummel, an integrat-
ed strategic communications
senior, questioned the resolu-
tion’s definition of family.

“We may be unrelated, but
the girls I live with are my fam-
ily," she said.

Student starts new Tibet

Helping to fight the cause: D.C. concert
prompts accounting major to form new group

By Amy Ernst
CONTRIBUTING WRITER

UK students will soon have
the chance to help people
halfway across the world
through a new organization on
campus.

The UK chapter of Students
for a Free Tibet will focus on
educating students about the
injustices suffered by Tibetans
at the hands of the Chinese gov-
ernment.

chapter by the Tibetan Free-
dom Concert she attended this
summer.

“After talking to a member
of Students for a Free Tibet at
the concert, I knew this was an
organization UK needed," Dunn
said.

“Students need to know
about the injustices Tibetans are
suffering from and this organiza-
tion is a great way to increase
their knowledge about it."

This fall Dunn brought the
cause to UK.

She contacted the national

office of Students for a Free Ti-
bet and attended a regional con.
ference with other chapter lead-
ers to find out more.

Now UK has its own chap-
ter, and geography professor
PP. Karan, author of The
Changing Face of Tibet: The Im-
pact of Ideology on Landscape,
has agreed to sponsor the orga-
nization.

The first meeting, on Tues-
day, Dec. 1, will be an informa-
tion session open to everyone
and will feature a movie about
the organization and its cause.

Students who join will help
organize a benefit concert to be
held here in Lexington with
proceeds to help alleviate
poverty, environmental degra-

chapter

dation and cultural deprivation
in Tibet.

“The world is witnessing a
rich culture disappearing in Ti-
bet," Karan said. “Students for
a Free Tibet can bring about an
awareness of this issue, and the
UK chapter can help educate
Kentuckians in this area. With
public awareness worldwide.
the situation in Tibet would im-
prove."

Students who want more
information on how to become
a member of the UK chapter of
Students for a Free Tibet can
call Dunn at 258-9136 or e-mail

incident was a tragedy.

“Our concern is with the
students and their families."
she said.

NCSU will release an offi-
cial statement on Monday
morning, Fox said.

Will Waddy, a senior in
natural resources and member
of the wrestling team, knows
the three wrestlers — Blunt,
Mordarski and Campenelia.

“I‘m very surprised." he
said. “i‘ve known them since
they came in — about three
years apiece. No way you would
think they would be charged
with no manslaughter."

Wrestling Head Coach
Robert Guzzo, who had been out
of town, could give no details.

Most football players con-
tacted for this story would not
comment on the arrest of
their teamates, although
NCSU free safety Shantay
Taylor said, “(the three foot-
ball players charged) are good
guys.”

Football coach Mike O'Cain
could not be reached for com-
ment Sunday night.

Students on campus had
varied reactions upon hearing
about the incident.

“I don’t think it's a reflec-
tion of the athletic program."
said Dana Long, a computer
engineering sophomore.
