UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY. LEXINGTON. KENTUCKY

Fll‘lll claims "K reached dBBISIOII

UK, firm to meet wit/yin seven to 10 days

By Mai Merton

Feature; Editor

Enter IINTB for the feasibility study for a new
men's basketball arena.

The Kansas City, Mo., firm, ranked by Building,
Design and Construction magazine as the sixth-
largest architecture and engineering firm in the
United States, has been selected by UK, said the
company's vice president, Mary Axetell.

“VVe‘ll certainly work hand in hand with the Uni-
versity," said Axetell, whose career at HNTB spans
Z-l years. “\Ve’re one of the few firms in the country
that have a specialty in sports architecture."

Axetell said an employee, project manager Mike
Handleman, answered the phone call from the Uni—

versity yesterday afternoon. Ilandleniaii could not
be reached for comment.

Some dispute, though, lies iii whether or not
IINTB actually has been selected.

George DeBin, UK vice president for adiiiinistra-
tion, said yesterday that the firm has only been the
top choice — to discuss the fee for the study.

Seven firms responded to UK's invite. DeBin said
each firm was ranked, with llNTB as first, and
Rosser, a firm in Atlanta coming in second.

Third was Huber, Hunt and Nichols, the Indi—
anapolis group that completed the feasibility study
on Commonwealth Stadium and a shoe-in for the
arena study until thisjanuary.

Five individuals oversaw the ranking process of

the firms.

 

 

 

They were: UK Proyect Managerjack Miller, L‘K
architect \Varren E. Denny, Physical Plant Director
liill Reeser, Athletics Representative Russell Pear,
and Ken Clebidence, director of capital construction
and procurement.

Once the study has begun, Dclim said Miller
“will be the University focal point between the firm
selected and the Liniversity."

DeBin said llN'l‘B is expected to meet with Lim-
versity athletic officials within sex en to [0 days to
agree on a cost for the study.

In response to Axetell's statement, Deliin said
Axctell knows llN'l‘B has only been chosen to meet
at the bargaining table.

“I'm 100 percent confident that she knows that,"
he said.

Axetell confirmed llN'l‘B’s appointment to the
study, and said she believes UK is considering no
other groups.

Illt honors Brown
prior to blowout

By Chris Easterling
Spam Editor

It's not like he didn‘t expect it
to be this way.

In talking to the Kentucky
media on Tuesday, LSL' (ioach
Dale Brown compared the likeli—
hood of his team heating UK in
his last game at Rupp Arena to the
Biblical story of David slaying
(ioliath.

So the fact that the \Vildcats
clobbered the Tigers 84—48 last
night wasn't a surprise to Brown,
who was 4—20 in his career in Lex—
ington.

Prior the game, UK Athletics
Director (LM. Newton presented
Brown with a plaque from the
AB. “Happy" Chandler Founda-
tion, as wel as a giant collage to
commemorate the past UK-LSU
games.

Former \N'ildcat coach joe B.
Ilall then did an imitation of
Brown's famous coat-throwing
incident frotn the 1976 season. To
remember this, Dawahare’s
department store had a special
sportscoat tailored made and pre-
sented it to him.

After Newton finished his pre-
sentation, he turned the micro—
phone over to Brown, who is well
known for some long-winded, off—
the—top-of—his—head speeches. But
with only minutes to go prior to
the contest, he was remarkably
brief in his comments.

Representatives
locus on issues

By Chris Campbell

Arrixtmit Editorial Editor

Two state representatives are
making strides to continue the
long-standing tradition of UK
being the flagship university for
the state.

Kathy Stein and Ernesto Scor-
sone, both Democrats for the 75th
district, are voicing their opinions
and ideas for changes to be made
in the University,
higher education,
and praising the
leadership UK has
shown. .-

Among hot top—
ics in the recent I
hi her education .
deiates are UK’s
overseeing of the
community col—
leges, Gov. Paul Patton’s call for
$100 million in
higher education
spending, and a
Superboard ever
seeing UK and the
University of
Louisville. Pat-
ton’s plan for edu-
cation spending
won’t be out for
another few weeks.

Being a freshman House of
Representative has not made Stein
nervous. In fact, Stein said she has
not had time to think about
nerves, for she has been thrown in
with the wolves of state legisla-
turc.

“I spent a lifetime opening my
mouth when I shouldn't have,” he
told the 23,98] in attendance at
Rupp Arena to watch the Cats
trounce the Tigers, “so today, I
want to make sure I show the class
that (the UK fans) have shown me
tonight."

He then read a quote that for-
mer UCLA coach john \Vooden
told him earlier yesterday after-
1100“.

“I know the word thanks is a
sirn le. one-syllable word," he
read). “Often used without true
meaning. However, when it is
used with sincerity, no collection
of words can be more expressive
or more meaningful.”

Since he arrived in Lexington
Tuesday, Brown has attended
many different functions, includ—
ing a luncheon for the AB.
“Happy" Chandler Foundation
and an honorary breakfast at the
Hilton Suites sponsored by The
Cats' Pause publisher Oscar
Combs.

UK Coach Rick Pitino was
pleased with the reception Brown

ot.

“I’m proud of the fans and
administration for givin Dale
Brown such a great send off,” Piti-
no said. “He certainly deserved it
for being at LSU for 25 years.”

The gifts he has received from
the various SEC schools will be
placed in the LSU Athletics Hall
of Fame.

The taxi voucher works like cash. A

Aia is satisfied with the outcome.

“It passed many hands before it
finally got done,” he said. “It will be

going to be great."

The money students pay SGA for the
booklets will be used for SGA’s child care
grants.

According to Aja, the child care grants
“help students who have children
with tuition expenses."

The money will help fulfill
SGA's goal to increase the num-
ber of child care grants next year.

This year SGA is supporting

SG five students with child care
grants.

Until SGA is able to negotiate
with a ticket distributor, the taxi vouchers
will be sold in the SGA office in 120 Stu-
dent Center, beginning Wednesday. Aja
said Student Center employees will be in
charge of collecting the money and the
cash will be turned into Student Center
Directorjohn Herbst.

The taxi voucher program was one of
Aja’s original campaign goals at the
beginning of the semester.

The student ori 'nally in charge of the
program left U at the end of last
semester.

It was then handled by Carrie Sterling
Wilder, former executive director of stu-‘
dent services, until she left SGA.

At the beginning of this semester Aja
himself took initiative to try to fulfill his
campaign promise.

Everybody in Dickey IIall

And it seems everybody in the
education department likes to see
him coming.

“J. l. I1 is the best sense of
humor and always finds ways of
brightening your day,” said
_lonathan I’rasse, administrative
assistant in the Office of the Dean.
“I he's not as concerned with him-
self as he is (with) how you're
doing."

_lohnson has worked at UK for
16 years in the custodial depart—
ment and has covered plenty of
campus. Ile has been stationed in
the Fine Arts Building, Anderson
Ilall, the (his A. Singletary Cen—
ter and the Art Museum —- just to
name a few.

But Dickey I Iall is his favorite.

“The people are nice here," he
said. “The professors and the stu-
dents —- they’re nice."

He also has a good relationship
with the people whom he works
for in custodial services a Rober-
ta Young and I ric Moss

“I think that we underestimate
the importance of kindness, and
kindness can be a major contribu—
tion to the overall suc-
cess of students and
faculty," said Moss,
superintendent of cus—
todial services. “U._l.) is

“_HlJ s overcome a lot of things
and I 111 proud of him" said
Young, Johnson's custodial super-
visor.

No. l thing he is thankful to have.

“You look around and there’s a
lot of people in worse shape than
you are,” he said. “I've got lots to

e thankful for.”

And that’s the motto
he lives bv. If he doesn't
feel good one day, he
tries to forget about it
while he’s at work, and
continues to keep an
“up” attitude and help
others do the same. This
is his own best medicine.

“I figure ifI can make
somebody smile, it makes
me feel good,” he said.
“The only thing that
keeps me going is faith
and a smile.”

Something’s got to keep him
going.

Ile often doesn t go to bed
until after the II o clock news and
he has to be at work by 5:30 a.m.
But he likes getting up early.

CHEVY CHASE

“I’m so used to it."

When he s at home in the
evenings, he likes to rent mmies
and enjoy music

“I like music — all kinds.’ said

Johnson. But his favorite is Toni

Braxton. “I like to dance, too, and
I like to sing."

He used to sing with groups,
but now he mostly just sings to
himself, and occasionally to the
people on the second and third
floors of Dickey Ilall.

It’s just another way _lohnson
cheers up tired students, faculty
and staff.

“He’s an all~the-time—going
person." Young said of _lohnson.
“Everybody loves him —- we think
he's special."

Ironically, it's probably _lolm-
son’s way of making everyone else
feel special that makes him so pop-
ular. It definitely has a lot to do
with that omnipresent smile.

“They always say. ‘Smile. the
world will smile with you; frown
and you frown alone.m
