You’re walking back from the
library at 2 a.m., when suddenly
you get a sneaky suspicion that
someone is following you.

Quickening your pace and ﬁxing
a death grip on your can of pepper-
spray, you swear you’ll never again
walk anywhere alone at night.

Sound familiar?

Many students say this is a
common feeling, especially in
light of one rape and one assault
recently reported on campus.

“I feel safe walking across cam—

us late at night, but that’s just
because I’m 6—foot-6”,” said
Jeremiahjohnson, a physical ther-
apy sophomore. “I don’t think that
I would feel safe ifI were a ‘rl."

A 1995 Department of dues—
tion report on campus crime
showed that larger institutions
aren't necessarily more dangerous
than smaller campuses. The
department reports that smaller
schools actually have higher over-
all crime rates.

The report suggests that larger
schools may have overall lower
crime rates because they have more
extensive campus police and secu—

rity resources than smaller schools.

Such resources are evident at UK
in the SAFECATS program, emer—
gency phone placements and abun—
dant walkway lighting throughout
the campus. Safety measures such as
these are part of L'K's goal to stop
crime before it happens.

“The emergency phones are a
real consolation to me because l
work way out in the arboretum."
said Shawna Macnamera, a horti-
culture senior. “lt eases my mind
to know that the police depart—
ment is only one push of the
speed dial away."

requirements for universities, and
that UK police are using proven
methods ofcriine prevention.

“If you look at the statistics, the
largest number of offenses come
in the form of traffic violations
and theft," said David Stockham,
dean of students. “Compared to
many campuses this is a relatively
safe urban environment.”

According to statistics released
by the UK police, the number of
assaults over a six-month period is
down 25 percent from last year.

safety procedures, such as not walk‘
ing alone at night and staying on
well~lit walkways, should feel rea—
sonably safe." Stockhain said.
“However. we all have to be eter—
nally vigilant and help our friends
to make smart decisions regarding
safety." i

L'K ambassador Melissa Moore
said, “I'm not afraid to walk across
campus because I think I'm Super

my legs and I keep on truckin'.

“I also make sure not to walk

and safety procedures is not
emphasized as strongly as it
should be.

”I would feel safer if the uni~
versity would tell us the facts
about assaults and other incidents
which affect the safety of the stu-
dent body instead of trying to
brush it mer," Moore said, refer-
ring to rumors that surfaced last
week ofinuliiple rapes on campus.

“As a L'ls' ambassador, the first
thing parents ask me is tfour cam~

Students look tor place in world

By Brian R. Gilbert
Staff Writer

For the first time in the histo-
ry of the College of Communi—
cations and Information Studies,
a career fair was held esterday
for students of the Sychool of
Journalism and Telecommunica—
tions.

Gathered within the lobby and
halls of the Enoch]. Grehan Jour-
nalism Building, representatives
from 14 local, regional and inter—
national companies met with anx-
ious students preparing for life
after graduation.

The event was sug ested to
Buck Ryan, director of the school,
by Merv Aubespin of the
Louisville Courier-Journal as a
way for students to get the needed
boost in pursuing their desired
careers.

The school does not have a
placement service, so a career fair
wasjntended as a solution for
those having trouble finding an

entry into the job market, said
Greg llerron, student and alumni
affairs director for the
school.
Telecommunications
senior John \Vashing-
ton interviewed with
two international com-

hc said. “They are not passing out
literature, they are passing out job
offers. It’s a great
day for our stu—
dents."

the fair, said he hopes it
would serve as a model

the school is doing
curriculum-wise,

and also to meet
with students face—
to-face, hear what
they are doing and
then give them a clear picture
and some direction," said john
Hickman, Meridian Communica-
tions vice president of account

services.

llerron said it was necessary
for this first fair to be efﬁcient and
prosperous.

“\Ve kept this event small
with only 14 companies to
enstire success, but in the future
we plan to improve and expand,"
he said.

SeniorJeff Riceiardi made the
most of this opportunity by
approaching three companies dur-
ing the fair: KET, IBM and Lex-
mark.

“Along with introducing and
presenting myself to prospective
employers, I feel I gained some
experience that I can apply to
future interviews," Riceiardi
said.

Other companies represented
were Ad Success, The ()wensboro

pers and BellSouth.

UK basketball fans will have to
wait a little longer to ﬁnd out
where they will be attending men's
basketball games in a few rs.

The on-campus arena asibiligv
study, which was on' ’nally sche -
tiled to be released tween Oct.
15 and Nov. 1, has been pushed
back, said UK Senior Associate
Athletic Director Larry Ivy.

“We had really hoped to have it

llll's arena stud

read by Nov. 1, and thought it
would be, but we have moved it
back just a little bit to sure up
some details,” Ivy said. “We are
looking at no later than the ﬁrst of
the year for a concrete answer.”
Althou h Ivy would not reveal
speciﬁcs, e said the delay has
come because of a need for more
detailed information concerning
one or more of the options the
study is looking at. However, Ivy
did say the extra time is necessary
to ensure the best recommenda—

results

tion possible.

“We just want to make sure we
have as much information as pos—
sible so the decision is not a hasty
one,” Ivy said.

The feasibility study is looking
at three possible 0 tions for where
the UK men's has etball program
will be housed in the future.

The first option is renovating
their current home, Ru p Arena,
by creating more luxury xes and
re-ne tiating the existing rental
fees. Profit distribution from park-

delayed

ing, concessions and program sales
would likely be changed as well.

The second option is building a
new, state-of-the-art on-campus
arena that would seat 25,000 peo-
ple and rank as one of the top

acilities in the country.

The final and probably least
likely scenario is expanding
Memorial Coliseum up and out so
it can accommodate around
23,000 people.

Emergency
shut oﬂmeans
halls without
heat, hot water

By Matthew Boris

(,‘nt/ti‘ilvutmg ll 'riti'r

Students at many residence
halls woke up yesterday morning
to a utility problem that caused
hot water and heat to be cut off
to buildings all across North
Campus.

Hot water
around 4 pm.

“About 9 a.in., there was a
gasket on a steam expansion at
the Patterson Office Tower
that developed a leak. and it
required an emergency shut
down of lines feeding the
steam, which affected buildings
on the north end of campus,"
saidjack Apple-gate. director of
the Lexington (Iainpus Physical
Plant Division.

ln addition to the tempera-
ture of the water. the malfunc-
tion affected the temperatures of
all buildings as well as the food
preparation process at Blazer
llall kitchen and other kitchens
in several buildings across cam-

us.

The buildings affected by
the problem included all six
North Campus residence halls,
the engineering quadrangle, the
Mining Lab, Miller llall, (iillis
Building, Patterson Office
Tower, “'hite llall Classroom
Building. Student Center,
Barker Hall, Frazee llall,
Alumni (iyin, Memorial Coli-
seum, Administration Building,

and the Alumni House, Apple-

Residents living on North

“l was going to come home

can't."

She said that her frustration
would continue if the problem
continued overnight.

“I wanted to go out tonight."
Lent]. said.

Other Vortb (Zainpus resi»
dents expressed concerns about
the situation.

“Other than a minor incon—
venience. I don't ihiiik it will be
a big problem unless they don't
get it taken care of quickly,"
said Patterson llall resident
adviser Marianne Lorensen, a
family and consumer sciences
education junior. “I just can't do
laundry.“

Repairs took longer than
expected, Applegatc said.

“Building operators notified
as many occupants as possible
about the outage." he said.
“They are trying to maintain
building temperatures as com.
fort-ably as possible by opening
outside air dampers.“

Zach Storer, a civil engineer—
ing freshman living in Boyd
Hall, said the problem did not
affect him, but that it did affect
students living in his residence
hall.

“There was a girl in my hon-
ors class, she was complaining
that she heard the announce-
ment 15 minutes before they
were going to shut off the
water, and then there was a mad
rush to get into the shower."

Allison Stientorf, a computer
science junior living in Patterson
Hall, said the problem put a
damper on her day.

“I went in to take a shower.
stood there for a few minutes to
turn it on and there was no hot
water, and l was like, ()K, what—
ever. So I didn't get to take
shower today, which really, real-
