Lexington keeping safe with new seat-belt law

By MYRNA MARCA
Staff Writer

Since last Sunday, drivers in
Lexington have had to buckle up.

A seat-belt ordinance passed
Jan. 25 by the Lexington-Fayette
Urban County Council requires
drivers and passengers to wear
seat belts.

The ordinance is a secondary
enforcement law, which means
that a police ofﬁcer cannot stop a
driver for not wearing a seat belt.
The ofﬁcer must stop the driver
for another violation, such as
speeding or running a red light.

Lexington is the third US. city
that has a seat-belt law without a
corresponding state law.

“The whole gist of why we’re
doing this is because Lexington

has been involved in highway
safety issues since about 1979,”
said Larry Ball, assistant Lexing-
ton Police chief. “Statistically,
seat belts reduce the odds of be-
ing crashed in the front seat by 50
percent.”

In a car accident involving un-
buckled passengers, everyone
pays the price through increases
in insurance premiums and taxes,
Ball said.

“The UK emergency room con-
ducted a study, and they found
out that 50 percent of the medical
costs (of unbuckled passengers)
were paid for by tax payers,” Ball
said.

The accidents cost the federal
government about $8 million a
year, he said.

“That’s where the government

has the right” to pass seat~belt or-
dinances, Ball said.

Ball believes the ordinance will
cause drivers to think twice be-
fore not wearing their seat belts.
“People don’t have the right to
kill themselves,” he said.

The state legislature did not
pass the seat belt law in the 1990
General Assembly because oppo-
nents said that it violates civil lib-
erties.

But Ball hopes the Lexington’s
seat-belt ordinance will demon-
strate the need for a state seat-belt
law.

The UK Police Department
cannot enforce the ordinance on
campus because it does not fall
under city jurisdiction.

“Our authority comes out of the
UK Board of Trustees, while the
authority for the Lexington Police
department comes from the city-
county government,” said UK Po-

lice Chief W.H. McComas Jr.
“We’re considered state ofﬁcers,
while the city police are city mu-
nicipal ofﬁcers."

McComas thinks the ordinance
will cause more Lexington driv-
ers to wear their seat belts. He
noted that most insurance compa-
nies offer a discount for people
whose vehicles have automated
seat belts.

Alan Stogsdill, an architecture
senior, believes the ordinance is a

‘ good one. “I’d rather have my

seat belt than not have it at all,”
he said.

However, Stogsdill disagrees
with a detail in the ordinance that
requires passengers in the back of
a tmck to wear seat belts.

“Now I can’t bring ﬁve or six
kids along with me to the store,”
Stogsdill said. “i don‘t see how
the seat belts are necessary in the
back of a truck.”

Ticket prices increased

Fans will have to pay a little extra to attend UK football and
basketball games during the 1990-91 seasons.

An increase in ticket prices was approved last week by the UK
Athletics Association Board at its annual June budget meeting.

For football, sideline seats were raised from $15 to $16. and
end-zone seats were raised from $10 to $12.

For basketball, $3 was added to all tickets. Lower-arena seats
will cost $13 instead of $10, and upper-arena seats will cost 810
instead of $7.

UK receives grant in toxicology

UK's toxicology program was awarded $710,399 from the Na-
tional Institute of Environmental Health Sciences to establish
new training fellowships.

“This is the first time the toxicology center has received major
national recognition and support," said Thomas Tobin, director of
the Graduate Center for Toxicology. “The grant will provide
training funds to both pre- and post—doctoral students at UK."

Toxicology is the study of poisons and poisoning.

UK's toxicology center is conducting research in areas such as
the impact of alcohol on acquired immune deficiency syndrome,
extending the range of a new drug test for racehorses, testing lev-
els of pollution in Kentucky‘s streams and developing a diagnos-
tic test for Alzheimer’s disease.

“Environmental health issues are going to be one of the major
problems of much concern during the next 20 years,” said Wim-
berly Royster, outgoing UK vice president for research and grad-
uate studies.

McCarthy takes over UK faculty club

Wine tasting, lectures and a menu with a “Kentucky ﬂair" are
among the changes Timothy McCarthy has planned for the UK
Hilary J. Boone Faculty Club.

McCanhy officially became the faculty club’s new manager
Sunday, replacing Mike Jarrell, who managed the operation for
two years.

McCanhy was the operation manager at Spindletop Hall, a pri-
vate club for UK faculty, staff and alumni since 1980. He held
that post for 10 years.

McCarthy is a Louisville, Ky., native and a 1975 UK graduate.

“We want the club to have a magnetism that will draw people
here to conduct business and for personal enjoyment," he said.

Highway safety program proposed

A proposal to equip long-distance trucks with radio transpond-
ers that transmit weight registration and other information to
roadside enforcement stations was discussed at a June 28-29 con-
ference sponsored by UK’s Kentucky Transportation Center.

More than 100 representatives of state. federal and Canadian
agencies, the motor carrier industry and universities met at Lex-
ington's Hyatt Regency Hotel to discuss an Intelligent Vehicle/
Highway Safety project for interstate 75, which runs from Florida
to Michigan.

Roadside stations would be linked electronically to the devices,
which would allow a properly documented truck to travel the
length of 1.75 with only a single inspection stop. Currently.
trucks must stop for inspections at more than a dozen weigh sta-
tions in six states.

A major advantage of the system is that it allows more efficient
travel for motor carriers. For state governments, it reduces the
cost and complexity of enforcement.

If implemented, the HS proposal would be the first demonstra-
tion of lVHS technology in Kentucky. The system could be the
foreninner of more extensive systems that eventually could in-
volve most vehicles on the road.

Many UK students will not feel
the effects of the increase in the
state’s sales tax — if they buy all
of their food on campus and limit
the amount of class materials they
purchase.

On Sunday, Kentucky‘s sales
tax jumped from S to 6 percent.
The increase was approved by the
1990 General Assembly, largely
as a way to fund the state’s educa-
tion reforms.

The tax increase is expected to
collect $187 million from Ken-
tucky’s taxpayers during fiscal
year 1990-91, said James A.
Street, Kentucky Revenue De-
partment’s Deputy Director of the
Office of Financial Management
and Economic Analysis.

Most goods and commodities
purchased through the University
are tax-exempt

Students who buy their text-
books at University or Kennedy
bookstores will not be affected by
the increase because required
textbooks are not taxable.

“Any textbooks required by
professors or the University are
not taxed and have not been' taxed
since 1970,” said John C. Butch-
er, general manager of Kennedy
Book Store.

The increase, however, in-
cludes purchases of notebooks,
pens and suggested study guides.

“I don't believe the increase
will affect students that much be-
cause a penny is really not going
to be noticed on a $1.30 note-

book,” Butcher said.

Supplemental materials provid—
ed by local copy serVices also are
taxable.

Food purchased at restaurants
is taxable, but UK students are
exempt from tax on food bought
from UK Food Services.

“Faculty members are not ex—
empt from paying sales tax and
students purchasing food between
semesters are not exempt,” said
Allen Rieman, director of auxil-
iary services.

“Junk food items, such as
canned soda and candy bars pur-
chased at Blazer Express, Stadi-
um View Grocery or the Com-
mons Grill, are subject to sales
tax, just as they would be in any
other off-campus convenience
store," Rieman said.

Food sold in grocery stores and
prescription medicine are not
taxed, but alcoholic beverages are

taxable.

“I don’t think the increase will
make a bit of difference to our
business because most students
who drink will pay for liquor and
beer regardless of the sales tax"
said Steve Harris a clerk at Big
Daddy Liquors, 327 Woodland
Avenue.

The tax increase will have little
effect on UK’s daily operations.

”The increase will have little
effect on us as an institution,
since the University is a tax-
exempt institution." said Vice
Chancellor for Administration
Jack Blanton. “You can look at
the University as a beneficiary of
the increase. since, due to the in-
crease we were able to give 10
percent salary increases to UK
employees."

Diplomacy school ‘best-kept secret’

By MYRNA MARCA
Staff Writer

and SUSAN A. MARTIN
Contributing Writer

“This school is the best-kept se-
cret in Kentucky.”

That is what associate director
John Stempel says about UK’s
Patterson School of Diplomacy
and International Commerce.

Located on the fourth ﬂoor of
the Patterson Office Tower, the
school is one of 14 US. graduate
schools that offers courses in in-

ternational affairs.
The three-semester master's
program is geared toward students

who want a career with govem-
ment agencies. international or-
ganizations, in various intema-
tional commercial ﬁelds, such as
foreign trade, and international
joumalism.

Established in 1959, the school
is ﬁnanced by the estate assets of
UK's ﬁrst president, James Ken-
nedy Patterson, and is named after
his son, William Andrew Patter-
son.

The Patterson School’s alumni
include US. Ambassador Thomas
Niles and Naomi Tutu, daughter
of South African Bishop De-
smond Tutu.

One of the school's strengths is
that it blends the “public and pri-
vate sectors,” said Vincent Davis,
the program’s director.

The school has a national repu-
tation as “one of the most prestig-
ious centers (of its kind) in the
United States.” according to a
1988 letter from the Ford Founda-
tion.

One of the reasons for the
school's success is its small size,

are enrolled in the school, which
allows ﬂexibility in course work,
internships and career planning.

“That’s what is so unique about
our school — we give our stu—
dents personal attention with their
course work and careers during
their time here and after,” Stem-
pel said.

A number of majors are of-
fered, ranging from international
politics to economics.

Because of the school’s ﬂexibil-
ity, students can tailor a major to
ﬁt their interests, Stempel said.

The program also helps its stu-
dents to ﬁnd a job. “We set them
up with connections. but getting
the job is up to them," Stempel
said.

Patterson School student Yali
Liu said she likes the individual
attention and the interaction with
students interested in similar ca-

reers.

“That’s the main reason I came
to this school,” she said. “I love it
here.”

Prospective students must apply
by June 14 for the following fall
semester. A transcript, three let-
ters of academic references, three
letters of character references and
a GRE score should be included.
Students usually are interviewed
by the school’s admissions com-
mittee.

Although a 3.3 grade point av-
erage and a 1200 GRE score usu-
ally are the minimum standards
for admitting students. Stempel
said the program is willing to take
“calculated risks" on people who
show a true interest in internation-
al affairs.

Tuition for the school is similar
to UK's other graduate schools.
