Survey examines visitation

Coming over: Student input part of effort
to change policy to extend visiting hours

By John Wampler
NEWS EDIYOR

The Resident Student
Council's Visitation Committee
needs students‘ help as it works
to change UK‘s dorm visitation

policy.

To hear opinions from
more of UK's resident student
body. the committee has issued
a survey asking residents for
opinions about policy changes.
said Dana Nash. organization
liaison for the committee.

“It will give us a firmer

 

JJEL

foundation from which to base
a proposal." Nash said.

The survey will be distrib~
uted today to all students living
in residence halls. said Noah
Friend. head of the committee.

"We hope that there will be
an overwhelming response
from residents." he said.

Friend said RSC and Stu-
dent Government conducted an
online survey regarding visita-
tion last semester. but results

 

were too narrow to paint a full
pictiireof student opinion.

"This needs to be a much
larger effort." Friend said.

The new survey is being
conducted solely by RSt‘.
though St} still collaborates
with the organization on policy
changes. Both groups say the
policy needs changing,

Once the results of the sur-
vey come in. 80 and RSC will
draft a proposal. said Senate

Students still saying
‘I do’ to marriage

The M-word: Students more cautious
about marriage, but still want to be wed

By Tracy Kershaw
MANAGING EDITOR

Karissa Bentley knows
one thing about marriage: She
only wants to do it once.

“I’m a child of multiple dis
vorces," said Bentley. a 20-
yearold English education se-
nior. “Each time something
happened, it made me realize I
just wanted to do it once.”

Her mother recently took
her fourth trip down the aisle,
and her father married twice.

With that history, it
wouldn’t be surprising for
Bentley to swear off marriage
forever. But she said she‘s al-
ways expected to get married
someday; she’ll just be more
cautious than her parents.

“I want to take my time
until I am out of college,” she
said. “I want to wait until I’m
content with who I am before I
ask someone to be part of it."

With more young adults
coming from divorced fami-
lies, going to college and liv-
ing with romantic partners,
how does the idea of marriage
fit into college students‘ lives?

Marriage isn’t a fading
tradition, said Gregory Brock.
a family studies professor.

“The appetite for mar—
riage is not decreasing to any
degree," he said.

Instead. it’s the divorce
rate that is decreasing. Brock
said, despite belief that more
marriages fail than succeed.
The often-cited 50 percent rate
is incorrect. he said; today the
rate is about 40 percent.

“The majority of people
who get married stay mar-
ried,” he said.

Kelly Arnold and Jay
Parker hope Brock is correct.

Parker, a 24-year-old so-
cial work senior, proposed to
Arnold in December.

“He lied to me," Arnold
said. looking slyly at Parker.

Parker told her that the
campus minister at the Bap-
tist Student Union, where
they met, needed him to lock
the doors. Once they were in-
side the chapel, Parker flipped
off the lights. turned on the
spotlight, and played Etta
James‘ “At Last.” Then he
asked his girlfriend to dance.

“I thought he was joking
around," said Arnold, a 21-
year-old family studies senior.
“But we started dancing and
then he was on one knee, ask-
ing me to marry him."

Fast growth leaves LCC desperate for building

Blowing up: Fifth-ranked enrollment boom
means tight classes, ‘broom-closet offices'

By Kristin Durbln

STAFF WRITER

Shay Mattingly. a pre-phar-
macy freshman. said she chose
to go to Lexington Community
College because of its inexpen-
sive tuition. fewer require-
ments and smaller classes.

But she didn't know that
LCC's campus on Cooper Drive
would exceed 8.000 students in a
building built for only 4.000.

“In my human anatomy
class. every desk is taken." she
said. “When you open the door.
it barely misses hitting a desk."

LCC President Jim Kerley
said a new building on Cooper
Drive is necessary if LCC
wants to continue its mission to
provide quality education.

“We've had tremendous
growth, but we want to keep a

high standard of quality."
Kerley said.

LCC ranked fifth on the list
of the nation's top 50 fastest»
growing public two-year col-
leges. having enrollments be-
tween 5.000 and 9,999. according
to Community College Week.

“I don‘t anticipate growth
slowing down." Kerley said.

The study reveals that the
total student enrollment be-
tween fall 1994 and fall 1999 ex-
perienced an overall growth of
36 percent.

Despite this boom. Kerley
said the budget-crunch in the
legislature is the biggest obsta-
cle in getting the money neces-
sary to accommodate the in-
crease in students.

If the money crunch means
legislators refuse to fund the

LCC expansion project. he said
officials will implement other
options to alleviate the
overpopulation.

“We've opened up the Win-
chester campus for students."
he said. “We‘re also looking
downtown to offer classes."

Kerley said LCC will seek
to increase the options avail
able to students while dealing
with the crunch. such as mak-
ing more weekend classes avail-
able if necessary.

“Whenever people need it.
we'll ofler it." he said.

However. he said LCC
needs the new Cooper Drive
building.

“We need more resources.
space and equipment." Kerley
said. “We need room for new
faculty because broom-closets
become faculty offices."

Not all students said they
were feeling the effects of the
overcrowding yet.

Eddie Berry. a mechanical
engineering freshman. said he

was comfortable wttlt his

class sizes.

“There are enough seats. so
I think they‘re fine." he said

Gurpreet Bains. an unde~
clared freshman. said if she
needs more attention from her
teachers. she will manage to
get it. ‘

“If you need more help.
then after class. you can meet
them." she said.

Vernal Kennedy. director
of public relations and market-
ing. said LCC has worked to
keep small class sizes available
to students.

”We don't have huge class-
room sizes. but we‘ve been ing
gling up to this point."

Though she said she is “op-
timistic" about the chances for
a new building. she also i‘ecng
nizes the need to keep a keen
awareness of reality

“You can‘t have even-thing
you want. when you want it."
she said.

College of Law ranks highly
as applications ‘skyrocket'

Numbers: College makes list of top 50 schools in nation
more than 1,000 expected to apply for admission this year

By Gretchen Sonnentrero

CONYRIBUTING WRliER

For the second time in three years the
UK College of Law has been rated in the
US. News and World Report as the 50th
best law school in the United States. Yale.
Stanford and Harvard held the top three
spots on the list in the annual report.

Allan Vestal. dean of the College of
Law. attributes the high ranking to the
combination of quality students and facul-
ty. and the college’s good reputation in the
legal community.

“We‘re all gratified we feel we're do-
ing a good job and it's nice to be recog-
nized." Vestal said.

Druscilla Bakert. associate dean of ad-
missions for the law school. emphasized
how the school provides opportunities for
law graduates looking for jobs in Kentucky
as well as out‘of-state.

"About one-fourth of UK law students
accept a job out-of—state. due in part to the
job fair that UK has for its law students.
which is something that neither Chase nor
the University of Louisville offers."
Bakert said.

There are also a number of job fairs in
Washington DC. Atlanta and other major
cities that UK is invited to send students to.
Bakert said.

One‘third of the current students in the
College of Law were at one time undergrad-
uates at UK and chose to stay at the univer-
sity because of their desire to one day prac-
tice in Kentucky. Out of the 99 percent of
students employed nine months after grad-
uation from the College of Law. 73 percent

of them are employed in Kentucky.
Bakert said,

Jill Suwanski. a third-year law student
and an editor ofthe Kentucky Law Journal.
said she chose the UK College of Law be-
cause of its reputation as the best in the re-
gion as well as for its positive academic
atmosphere.

“The camaraderie and the lack of ugly
competition is great.“ she said.

Bakert said that students wanting to
apply to UK‘s law school. or any graduate
school. should be prepared to find tougher
admission standards and fiercer competi-
tion than they Would find if applying to un-

dergraduate schools

For the last three years. l'K's law
school has had about 900 applicants annual
1y. This year. they expect to break limo.

“Law school applications are skyrock
eting. We‘re no exception." Bakeri said.

The priority deadline to apply to the
College of Law is March 1.

Various reports have revealed that ap
plications at all of the nation‘s graduate
schools have escalated because of college
seniors‘ fear of the sagging economy and
the state of the job market.

“This isn‘t the year to be the last per
son to turn in your application." Bakert
said.

“Students need to jump on the applica
tions. go over their personal statement and,
more than anything. be patient. We‘re
swamped with applications."
