New legislation makes 56 third in line to hear appeals;
most appeals, though, won't make it that far along

ByKerenHenderson

STAFF WRITER

Adam Midkitf. a finance
freshman, couldn't fit his
quarters into the jammed me-
ter in front of the
Funkhouser Building but left
his car anyway.

He returned from his
night class to find his first
parking ticket stuck to the
windshield of his car.

“I didn’t deserve that tick-
et." he said. “But I paid it be-
cause I didn‘t know what else
to do."

Student Government sug-
gests that Midkiff and other
students who think they have
received unfair citations ap-

peal their tickets.

The SC full senate unani-
mously passed legislation
Nov. 5 outlining a way for stu-
dents to appeal citations be-
fore a jury of their peers.

86 has had the power to
hear parking appeals for more
than two years but has not
worked out a way to use that
power until now.

Braphus Kaalund. the SG
senator who sponsored the
legislation. drew up the new
appeals process after getting
stuck with a ticket himself.

"Before. there was no ap-
peals process.“ he said. “No
one in 80 had taken the time
to work it out.“

Under the new legisla-

tion. SG's judicial branch will
consider student appeals at
the final stage of the three-
level appeals process set up by
Parking and Transportation
Services.

Appeals first go to a park-
ing administrator and then to
an adjucation officer. who is a
hearing officer appointed by
the parking appeals commit-
tee.

If the citation is appealed
further. students will go to the
SG judicial board. which will
decide if it will grant them
hearings.

All others go to the park-
ing committee. which meets
quarterly.

Appeals decisions are
sent at each level through the
mail.

The ruling can be accept-
ed or it can be pushed up to

the next level.

Those who hear the ap
peals can uphold the citation,
uphold the appeal or can is-
sue a partial refund.

Appeals are usually re-
solved during the first and
second stages. said Don
Thornton, the director of
Parking and Transportation
Services.

No student has appealed
at the third level this semes-
ter. he said.

“They usually realize
that it was their fault afier go
ing through the first stage,“
he said.

Before appealing. stu-
dents must pay all citation
and impoundment fees. and
they must file within 10 days
of receiving the citation.

Smoking ban decision possible

By EmIly _H_ag_ed_o_rn
NEVIS EDITOR

Fayette Circuit Judge
Larry VanMeter will rule
on motions concerning Lex-
ington’s proposed smoking
ban tomorrow.

VanMeter. who has yet
to pass down his judgment
on the ban in its entirety: is
speculated to do so at this
hearing.

“Chances are he will
make a ruling (Friday) on
the underlying issue. or he
will tell people in atten-
dance when he intends to
rule." said Phillip Scott. an

attorney representing the
Fayette County Health De-
partment and the Lexing-
ton-Fayette Urban County
Council.

Attorneys for the food
and beverage association
would not comment on to-
morrow‘s hearing.

The proposed smoking
ban would prohibit smok—
ing in enclosed public estab—
lishments. which include
restaurants and bars. It
would exempt dwellings.
rooms or halls being used
for private social functions.
retail tobacco stores and
smoking areas provided in-

side government buildings
as required by state law.

On Oct. 17. VanMeter.
who recently won a seat on
the state court of appeals.
ordered each side to read up
on several court cases and
file briefs on how the cases
might affect the suit.

At that time VanMeter
said his mind had not
changed since the first time
he heard the case.

On Sept. 23. VanMeter
denied a motion to tem-
porarily halt the ban be-
cause he did not think the
ordinance was pre-empted
by state law or that it was

written too vaguely, as the
food and beverage associa-
tion contended.

The ban was put on
hold three days later by the
Kentucky Court of Appeals
and was indefinitely halted
by the appeals court on Oct.
6 until a lower court. which
will be VanMeter‘s, could
rule on its merit.

Tomorrow. he will hear
the food and beverage asso-
ciation‘s motion for default
judgment. which asks the
judge to strike the ban. say-

Student hit by car, dragged down street

Woman was not seriously injured from the accident;
driver said he wasn't paying attention to the crosswalk

By Rebecca Neal
ASSISTANI NEVIS EDITOR

A graduate student was
hit by a car and dragged 15
to 20 feet yesterday. a UK Po-
lice spokesman said.

“Her injuries were not
life-threatening —— they were
not substantial injuries.“

said Cmdr. Travis Manley
with UK Police‘s Communi-
cations and Information Ser-
vices.

This is the fifth accident
of its kind this semester.
Three occurred on South
Limestone Street. and one
was at the intersection of
Rose Street and Washington
Avenue.

in response to those ac-
cidents. police recently an-
nounced a campaign to pa-
trol areas where students
jaywalk to reduce accidents.

Zheng Wang. a 37-year-
old post-doctorate student.
was at a crosswalk at Uni-
versity Avenue and
Huguelet Drive at 6:25 pm.
when she was struck by a
Mercury Mystique driven by
Michael Andrew Howard.
Manley said. Howard was
making a right turn on Uni-

versity Avenue from
Huguelet Drive when the ac—
cident occurred. Manley
said.

“He right out told us he
wasn't watching the cross-
walk.“ Manley said. “He
said he was looking over his
left shoulder while making a
right turn to make sure the
cars had stopped and wasn‘t
looking ahead."

Cats use 20 unanswered points in second half
to secure 33-point victory in exhibition closer.

ovum
surname o

Kelenna Azubuike has made it clear he wants to
hear his name called with the rest of the UK starters.

The sophomore guard scored 21 points and added
six rebounds in the Cats’ 94-61 victory over EA Sports
in last night’ 5 exhibition game.

Azubuike. who was inserted into the starting line-
up for suspended senior guard Antwain Barbour, was
an offensive presence for UK throughout the night 1n
his second-ever start in Rupp
Arena.

Coupled with last week's 14-
point, seven-rebound showing
against 'Ilearn Nike, Azubuike is
doing everything he can to make
head coach Tubby Smith’s deci-
sion a tough one when Barbour
is reactivated for the Tennessee
Tech game Nov 28.

“I’d like to start," Azubuike
said. “Everybody wants to start.
but coach (Smith) has the final
say. And if you don’t like his de-
cision you still have to play
hard”

“It was
an
impressi-
ve run. It
was
reminisc-
ent of
last
year’s
team”

Smith applauded
Azubuike’s performance but
said there are still things he
needs to work on.

“Kelenna could have had an-
other 10 points tonight if he had-
n't missed some of those
layups,” Smith said.

EA Sports kept the score
within single digits in the first
half and used six unanswered - 1mm
points at the end of the half to mi and Coach
shorten UK's lead to one point at
halfiime, 38-37.

The game remained close
until the Cats, holding onto a 51-

48 lead. unleashed a 20-0 run

midway through the second half

that brought the 16,653 fans in attendance to life. UK 111-
timately outscored EA Sports 5624.

Smith compared the run to some of last season’s
scoring stretches.

“It was an impressive run.’ he said. “It was hemi-
niscent of last year’s team. When you play the right
way and get energized with the crowd. like we did, that
energizes the players and gets everybody up. "

Ilse of testosterone may not be safe

WASHINGTON W Thousands of older men turn to that
macho hormone testosterone in search of youthful vigor
and virility, but scientists issued a big caution Wednesday:
There‘s little evidence the therapy fights any effects of ag-
ing, much less that it‘s safe. The government is planning to
study the already contentious treatment, hoping to save men
from the same kind of confusion that has plagued women
considering estrogen therapy Studies should begin in 2005.
and until they’re done, testosterone use isn‘t justified except
for the relatively few men who have severe deficiencies, cau-
tioned National Institute on Aging director Richard Hodes.
The independent Institute of Medicine highlighted the ur-
gent need for research Wednesday, reporting rapid increases
in the numbers of older men using testosterone despite
questions about benefit —- and the possibility that long-term
use could spur prostate cancer.

Judge refuses to give Rosie O'Donnell damages

NEW YORK — A judge said Wednesday that neither
Rosie O’Donnell nor the publisher of her former magazine
deserved damages in their dispute over its demise. Minutes
after both sides rested in the case. state Supreme Court Jus~
lice Ira Gammerman issued his surprising comments con-
cluding the twoweek trial. “It seems to me we‘re just deal-
ing with bragging rights here. who wins and who loses."
said Gammerman. who heard the case without a jury. The
judge's remarks effectively left neither side as the victor in a
trial where O’Donnell's image as the “Queen of Nice" took
some hits and where the publisher was accused of manipu—
lating the magazine's financial figures. The judge did leave
open the possibility that O‘Donnell could ask for publisher
Gruner+Jahr USA to cover her legal fees. Gammerman said
there was no evidence or testimony during the contentious
trial indicating that either side had caused the other to suf-
fer damages.

‘Beef is hot,’ ranch owner proclaims

ness, parking only for a short
period. failure to display a
parking permit and not read-
ing signs are not grounds for
appeal. according to the park-
ing Web site.

Thornton said his only
worry is that collaboration
with 80 will prevent his de-
partment from being able to
quickly resolve appeals.

“We just want to make
sure we don't leave students
hanging," he said. “We want
appeals to be heard in a fair
and timely manner."

He is not worried about
80's ability to pass fair rul-
ings.

“Past experience has

shown that students are pret—

ty tough on each other." he
said. “If I were a student. I
would rather go before the
(parking) committee."

Kaalund said that 80 will
work hard to communicate
with the parking department
and will consider appeals filed
with their clerk within five
days.

“80 will make sure we
keep up with our end of
things.” he said.

Emily Wharton. a busi-
ness freshman who has
racked up seven tickets this
semester. said that while the
appeals process is a good idea,
she probably would not use it.

“I know it’s my own fault
for getting my tickets," she
said. “It’s more a question of
parking availability than any-
thing else.”

When Barfly

Reminiscent of a traditional Irish
pub, McCarthy’s brings me back to
my roots. Granted,
I’m a third-genera-
tion Irish-Ameri—
can. but my parents
did name me
Moira, and that‘s
got to count for
something, right?

From business-
men to college stu-
dents, this cozy lit-
tle pub caters to a
wide variety of pa-
trons, though most
of them will swear they‘re Irish if the
topic of ancestry comes up in conver-
sation. Whether or not their claims
are true, everyone who comes to Mc-
Carthy’s has a little Irish in them A
either by heritage or by the Guinness
sitting in their stomachs.

It’s a rather serious sort of place.
in some strange sense of the word.
You won‘t find pool tables, ornamental
lighting or a dress code here — just
the company of good friends, new and
old. to share a laugh with. That's what
makes this pub so great — there are
no distractions between you and a
good conversation.

The atmosphere is very low key. I
see McCarthy’s as the chicken noodle
soup of bars. It's such a great place to
meet up with your friends after a long
day of class or work and relax. with-
out having to worry about finding a
place to sit or yelling over loud music.

The most popular libation at Mc-
Carthy’s is no other than Ireland‘s
own, Guinness stout —— the beer that
drinks like a meal. You know, the stuff
that looks like foamy motor oil.

Personally, if I want to show my
pride for the Emerald Isle, I order up a
pint of Harp, a much lighter Irish
brew, or a Black and Tan, an easier to
digest mix of Guinness and Harp that
separates in the glass due to the vary-
ing density of the two beers.

Don't ask me to explain this phe-
nomenon any further, as I don't quite
understand it myself, but it‘s pretty
cool to look at.

My recent adventure to Mc-
Carthy‘s was most enjoyable, as it was
the first time in a while that I was not
spotted as the Barfly. Even better. if I
had been spotted, I am sure that no
one would have said a word to me
about it due to the general politeness
that exudes from most of the bar‘s pa-
trons.

So I was able to hang up my Barfly
wings, kick back and relax.

A new addition to McCarthy’s is
its next-door neighbor, the Spider’s

 

THE BARFL‘I

 

 

 

Well, a non-smoking version of the
bar with an equally comfortable and
charming atmosphere.

Having a non—smoking bar at-
tached to McCarthy‘s is a godsend. I
love walking into the Spider's Well
and taking a deep breath of fresh air
after sitting inside a cloud of smoke
next door.

McCarthy's jukebox is packed
with traditional Celtic music as well
as popular Irish. English and Ameri-
can bands. like U2. David Gray and Al
Green.

Each time I go to McCarthy's. I
have a great time. Maybe because I
don‘t have to worry about getting
dressed up or maybe it‘s because the
atmosphere is so warm and friendly.
But I think the best part by far is be-
ing able to relax and smile. as only the
Irish do best.

CBS wronged us all
by axing ‘Reagans'

The massive conservative reaction,
unwittingly prodded by a New York
Times report. in conjunction with the
cowardice of Columbia Broadcasting
proved one thing: Ronald Reagan is an
exception to the rule. Rules that don't
apply to Jimmy Carter. Lyndon Johnson
and John F. Kennedy apply to our 40th
US. president.

The rules of docudramas and relat-
ed productions clearly provide for his-
torical criticism of our elected officials;
these portraits need not be flattering 0r
whitewashing but provocative looks at
our former leaders.

I fear that recent events have all but rendered critical
judgments of Reagan impossible. Now. who can make a
film about the Republican president that does not come
with the expressed approval of Peggy Noonan. Pat
Buchanan and Nancy Reagan? This is a historical traves-
ty because Reagan was one of the seminal figures of the
20th century. and one could argue his eviction of Presi-
dent Carter in 1981 was the most significant White House
change since 1861. Reagan rewrote federal government
policy. and in many respects. the Reagan era continues to
this day.

But. as a society. we make a tremendous mistake
when we exceptionalize certain individuals and concepts.
True. Reagan lies on his deathbed. but that does not
mean we cannot be critical of his policies and his ideolo-
gy. To the contrary. we must be critical of his policy and
his ideology because his supporters are so fervent in
their vigor and so unwilling to acknowledge the contro-
versial aspects of the Reagan reign. '

Sure. it might be tempting to proclaim him the grand
victor in the Cold War and a president who rekindled
American optimism. But you‘d have to overlook his
stances on the social issues and how his foreign policy
continued to be blinded by his anger toward communism
‘ even if it meant supporting undesirables in Nicaragua
and elsewhere.

It is understandable that those of the conservative
persuasion are so eager in their fight —~ Reagan is, after
all. the candidate who quashed the Great Society and
nearly banished the Democratic Party to the presidential
political wilderness. However. the rest of us, including
Les Moonves and the moguls at Columbia. have an oblig-
ation to present an alternative to the “Morning Again in
America" song-and-dance.

Try as I might. I had difficulty understanding the ar-
guments of Reagan supporters. If. as they claim. this
Judy Davis-James Brolin miniseries was a hatchet job, a
gross misinterpretation of his public and private lives,
then what exactly is the concern? Does the Right gen-
uinely believe that a public. which elected him twice. will
come to revile Reagan on the basis of some clever, leftist
propaganda?

Liberals are naturally infuriated by these tactics.

maybe not to the laughable extent that “The Reagan‘s" al- '

“SG will make sure we keep up with our
end of things.” he said.
Please do.

 

For two years. SG has had the power to
hear students’ parking appeals. Finally. it is
using that power to what we hope will be the
students‘ advantage.

Under new legislation. SG’s judicial
branch will be considering appeals at the fi-
nal stage of the three-level appeals process
that Parking and Transportation Services
goes by.

Instead of the Parking and Transporta-
tion Committee having the final word. SG
members will.

It‘s a smart idea. considering this is a way
for people who truly understand what it’s
like to have to park on campus to have the fi-
nal say in appeals.

But it‘s questionable how big of a role SG
will have in the process. Appeals are usually
resolved during the first and second stages of
the process.

In the first stage. the decision is made by
the parking administrator. In the second
stage. an adjucation officer hands down the
decision on the appeal.

With SG coming last in the process. its
much less likely appeals will make their way
to members. This als
