Changing course: UK Police Chief Rebecca Langston is leaving campus to work
as commissioner of public safety in Mayor-elect Teresa Isaac's administration

By Ellily Hagedorn

STAFF WRITER

Rebecca Langston found
her inspiration to go into law
enforcement between the
“Rockford Files” at 9 pm. and
the 11 o’clock news on NBC.

“There was a television
show on at the time called ‘Po—
lice Woman’ with Angie Dick.
inson,” said UK Police Chief
Langston. “It just looked
interesting.”

With equal opportunity
legislation and friends on the
Lexington Police Department,
she applied to the Lexington
force in 1973, just a year and a
half after graduating from the
University of Louisville with
an English degree.

“The Lexington police de—
partment was hiring women
and actually allowing them to
go on patrol.” she said.

She had never tried any-
thing as daring. “I just kind of
fell into it,” Langston said.

At the time, she was teach-
ing English at Alice Lloyd Col-
lege, a junior college in Pippa
Passes, Ky.

Thirty years later,
Langston is finishing five years
as UK police chief. In January.
she will leave to join Mayor-
elect Teresa Isaac’s administra-
tion as commissioner of public
safety

“Public service touches a
lot more meat and potatoes
than the other departments,"
said Greg Powell, administra-
tive officer in the department
of public safety

While her work in law en:
forcement is studded with ac-
complishments and member.
ships in prestigious organiza-
tions, she said what lies ahead
may be her greatest opportuni-

ty and challenge yet.

“I think this will probably
be the feather in my cap for my
professional career,” she said.

Beginnhigs

When Langston enrolled at
Eastern Kentucky University,
she was one of two women on
the class roster. The pressure of
law enforcement started to seep
in.

“It is a big responsibility
and that part of it was very
scary." she remembered think-
ing. “I felt it was a huge respon-
sibility to make sure you treat-
ed people appropriately and to
make sure that when you ar-
rest someone and take away
their liberty, you’re doing the
right thing. "

With UK Police Chief Re-
becca Langston’s appointment
to commissioner of public
safety for Lexington and
Fayette County, the depart-
ment of auxiliary and campus
services is in search for a new
chief to take her spot.

“She will be hard to re-
place,” said Stephanie Baston,
UK’s police operations

s

Ben Carr, the vice presi-
dent for auxiliary and campus
services, said officials are
looking for a police chief that
possesses certain characteris-
tics like leadership and a
strong law enforcement back-

He said it is important the

 

chief has good people skills
and that they are able to work
with students, faculty and
staff.

Also. university police are
not like city and county police
who focus on assessing
crimes. At UK, an emphasis is
placed on prevention.

“There's a lot of public re-
lations involved," he said.

Furthermore, the new
chief must be able to work
with athletics, he said. They
are looking for someone who
can facilitate crowd control
and traffic concerns.

Auxiliary services is go
ing to post the job opening
within the week and the chief
will be chosen by the end of
spring semester, Carr said.

An interim, though, will
be selected by the time

UK chief

Langston takes office as com-
missioner on Jan. 6 and will
serve until a permanent chief
is found.

Langston said she hopes
her replacement treats her
employees with the same re-
spect she has.

She also hopes that per-
son will take other officers’
opinions into consideration
before making any drastic
changes.

“Just like I’m going to try

xtodowhenigettomynewpo-

sition, talk to people, get in-

ivolved, try to understand
«what’s going on before you

make changes," she said.

“If you work in a work-
place you need to be heard,
you need to have some input
and the boss needs to listen to
you," she added.

 

Foreign students
plan for break

Winter break: International students find ways
to celebrate the holidays, at home or at school

By Jennifer Mueller
W”

It's winter break, 'and international students across
campus are making plans for the month off, whether it in-
cludes traveling, visiting family or staying on campus.

Mangesh Kolharkar, the president of the Indian Stu-
dent Association, said that more than 50 Indian students
are planning on going home for the holidays.

Christin Pramudiati, the president of the Internation-
al Christian Fellowship, said she plans to go home to In-
donesia over the break.

“I've been planning this since last year,” she said. “I’ve
never gone home for Christmas.”

The International Christian Fellowship is sponsoring
a Christmas Day party for those ICF members left in Lex-
ington over the break. Brian Hart, a volunteer adviser for
the group, said he will open his home to the students for
Christmas, with food, movies and games.

“Even though most students go home over the break,
most of the international students are still here,” Hart said.
“Christmas is a family holiday and since most of these stu-
dents are away from their families, the International Chris-
tian Fellowship is kind of like a family away from home.”

Hart said that, even though Christmas is a Christian
holiday. he wanted everyone to have someone to spend time
with on that day.

Xabier Arzuaga, a toxicology PhD. student, said he
plans to go home to Puerto Rico for Christmas.

“Usually I go home whenever I have the chance,"
Arzuaga said. “I try to go home because it’s Christmas. It's
a good time to see everybody.”

A few students will be attending the Christmas Interna-
tional House Program, a national program that allows stu-
dents to spend Christmas with an Amerimn family Accord-
ing to the Christmas International House Program Web site,
the program is a peacemaking program that gives students
a chance to visit other areas of the country along with
learning more about American culture.

One participant. Saii Li. a graduate student from Chi-
na who is studying at the Patterson School, said that he is
excited to spend a warm Christmas in Houston, Texas.

Li says he became interested in the Christmas Interna-
tional House Program after a friend enjoyed participating
last winter:

Students participating in the program must provide
their own transportation to the city of their Christmas
host family, and then stay for with them for two weeks with
free housing and free food.

For students who have to stay on campus, Jewell Hall
and Blanding Tower will be open for those students staying
in Lexington over the break. .

CONTRIOUTING WRITER

Most students will never play a game of pool with UK
President Lee Todd, but next Monday could be your
chance. Todd’s wife, Patsy, and other campus faculty and
administrators will be appearing for a night full of fun.

The event, Finals Midnight Crunch Brunch, will be
packed with activities such as basketball games against
surprise guests, a live disc jockey, line dancing and ping
pong. Aside from high-energy activ-
ities, eight neck and shoulder mas-
sage stations will offer free mas-
sages throughout the night

The UK extravaganza aims to
help students relieve some of the
stresses that come with finals week.

“It’s a really fun break from
studying,” said Becky Jordan, asso
ciate dean of students.

Last year’s Crunch Brunch at-

tracted 2,500 students, and UK is
prepared to welcome 3,500 students
this year.
“I think it’s important tbr stu-
dents to know the University supports and understands
that it’s a difficult time for students,” said Randy Gonzalez,
assistant to the vice ident of student affairs.

Free hot and cod breakfast foods will be served by
campus faculty and administrators during the night, along
with giveaways, including free T-shirts for the first 1,000
students and goodie bags from campus and community
sponsors. Gonzalez calls the event a “nice big pep rally (for
students) to know we support them."

The event lasts from 9 pm. to midnight on Monday at
Memorial Coliseum. While students aren't expected to stay
themllthreehours,theyarewelcometoreiaxandtakea

will provide transportation ,,

JOHN MMPLER | KERNEL sup
Langston is past president of organizations including the Kentucky
Association of University Law Enforcement Administrators and the
FBI National Academy Associates (Kentucky chapter), among oth-
ers. She is currently chairwoman of the East Central Region of the
Kentucky Association ol Chiefs of Police.

"She makes you want to
do well." Baston said. “She has
a gift for listening and an in
sight into people I‘ve seen her
calm people by just listening
to them.”

What it comes down to

Langston Is modest and
said she is proud of what she‘s
done but not because she‘s a
female.

“Before my age group of

women. the opportunities
weren‘t there. so naturally
we‘re going to be the first." she
said.

"So it's not really that l‘III
so special it‘s just that l hap
pened to be III the group that

to opixirtunities ”

But she said she thinks
she achieved because of dill
gence. ability and successes.
not gender.

“1 got where I am be
cause i am qualified." she
said.

“i feel I‘ve always had an
equal opportunity to come
pete. I don‘t think you need
to give women a special op
portunity. bttt you certainly
need to give women an equal
opportunity. I think that‘s all
any of us want."

  

Library bustling;
students cramming

The W T. Young Library hustled with activity. A line of

Idling cars formed in the drop—off driveway with students
behind steering wheels. lurking for spaces. Dead week was

all btit (lead.

Three students sat sprawled across the library‘s sec-

ond floor chairs.

"Everything‘s just backed up." said Phil Lacy. an ar-
chitecture freshman “It‘s all just thrown on you.
Architecture freshman l’bil Lacy and Erin Filipp,
business marketing sophomore. sat with Matt Huntley,
pre-law junior in the leather chairs of W. T. Young's second

floor around a sprawl of papers.

There weren't many places in the library where at

least one person wasn't sitting head-to-head with class-

mates or facedown in a textbook. W. T. Young‘s corridors
ranged from an air of tense silence to the musings and

messes of groups planning out their
llnal protects.

"This Is my first time." said
l’bilip. "It's too big tit here. it dis
tracts me.“

Another group workitig togetlr
er III ()vid's ('afe agreed.

"The library is too busy. so we
migrate over here." said David
Wheeler. an English senior. "But
sometimes we peoplevwztlt‘li there.“

Andrea (locek, an English ju-
nior. and Melissa Mitchum. an Eng-
lish senior. agreed with Wheeler.

“As English IIIajors. we have a
lot of big papers.” (iocek said.

"I'm just ready for this to be
over." Mitchum said

Still need to

brary opened at to

that ends at 8 pm.
Friday. For other

Others were also ready for the end of the semester.
"I really don't see a reason for dead week,“ said
Kirsten (‘urryz prepliysician‘s assistant freshman. “All the
rest of the universities III the state of Kentucky are Closed.
so in my mind. this entire week is a waste of my precious

sleeping time."

In the basement. the computer labs were ful‘. A Sign sat

at the computer desk. “Out of laptops." It was It re lively:
with groups working together where. they say. they feel they
can talk, away from the oppressing influence of books.

A group of journalism majors were lucky enough to

bring their own laptop. Seniors Sara (‘lark and Leslie Porta

worked with junior Paige (‘ourrier on a journalism project.
“1 personally think it's easier to do stuff down in the

basement." said Clark. “It’s better for projects because

everyone's already talking. but if you were going to study.

it would be better to find a cubby."

"We have this project due on Wednesday and I have a
test on Friday." said (‘ourrieii "lt‘s ironic that they call it

'l)ead Week.“

While many students found themselves busier than

ever during a week supposedly reserved for studying,
some actually enjoyed the energy of the week before finals.

"Dead Week isn't as bad as you think." said pre-phar-

macy freshman Katie Rut. “it‘s always fun to have study

groups and midnight snacks. cramming for tomorrow's

biology exam."

A diverse exhibit: Barnhart Gallery display
showcases work of eight art studio seniors

By Curtis Tate

ASSISTANT SCENE EDITOR

The Barnhart Bunch
will proudly display their
Work (hiring finals week
and no. they're not connect-
ed to the UK athletics direc-
tor.

. This group consists of
eight UK art studio seniors
who have put together a
show for the Barnhart
Gallery. located near campus
in the Reynolds Building.

The exhibit. which opens
Monday night. consists of
about 130 artworks conceived
by the eight students. They
include paintings. drawings.

Many of these students
have drawn upon personal
experiences and chal-
lénges in the process of
creating their art.

Tania Zivikovic said that

.v..4____.._______. ..¥._V,_.... .. 7.

just as she began art school.

she was diagnosed with
breast cancer

One of her paintings. ti-
tled “My Protector.” features
a human figure cradling a
child.

"It was almost like a
therapy process." Zivikovic
said. “ t turned out to be a

way to deal with what was
going on.“

She said this painting
and others she has done use
a combination of broad
brush strokes and bold col-
ors to create an emotional ef-
fect.

Ian (‘affey said “external
pressures" in his life. includ-
ing failed relationships. have
influenced his work.

(iat‘fey said his art con-
tains some degree of social
commentary he describes
himself as a strong advocate
for stopping violence against
women.

Ranth Gray said his
work contains themes of
what it means to be African
American.

Gray said the skin tones
or some oi~ his subjects blend
into the backgrounds. repre-
senting the pressure blacks
feel to tit into their surround-
ings.

"It‘s been

for

Gray's paintings are pri
marily products of his imag-
ination. They have a “can
toom" feel but remain aes~
thctically pleasing he said.
”None of my work is
from direct observation." he

said. “You can tell I‘m trying
to make it look realistic
