INDEPENDENT SINCE 1971

Dueling organizations may share office space

By Alison Kight

Senior Staff lVriier

“hen the Student (iovern—
iiient Association wanted to
exp-and the Student Legal Service,
officials quickly recognized the
need for a full—time office for legal
counselor Cyndi “'eaver.

However, there was one prob-
lem. The space in the Student
Center is limited and fitting
everything in becomes difficult.

SGA wanted to use Room 119
because it was one of the least—
used meeting rooms in the build-
ing, but their request was denied

because they wanted the space to
be used exclusively for the legal
service.

Student Center Director Frank
Harris denied the request, basing
his decision on a recommendation
from the Student Activities Board.

“(SAB) has traditionally worked
with me regarding all the space in
the Student Center,” Harris said.
“They come to me with what
they think I should do, and it‘s a
rare occasion that I overrule the
decision of the board."

Ilarris said the Student Center
Director's Office has worked with
SAB since the Student Center was

built in 1938.

SAB President David Craycraft
said SAB was originally titled the
Student Union Boart , and was
created in correlation with the
building of the Center.

Craycraft said the organization
recommended to deny SGA per—
manent office space because ofthe
limited amount of meeting space
available in the Student Center
during the week.

“(Room 119) was the least—
heavily used room in the Student
Center, but it is still used quite a
lot,“ Craycraft said.

Last year's number of reserva—

tions for meeting space in the Stu—
dent Center increased by 20 per—
cent, Craycraft said, and he
expects it to increase even more
this year.

Harris said a compromise was
offered for SGA to have limited
use of Room 11‘) between the
hours of 8 a.m. and 2 p.m..\1on—
day through Friday.

“They really only need the
space for a couple of hours a day,“
Harris said.

SCA President Shea Chaney
said the compromise for the limit—
ed use of the room didn‘t fulfill
\K'eaver‘s needs.

SGA has been able to use the
room since Aug. 21, but Chaney
said using the room part-time isn‘t
sufficient.

“This is the first week we've
tried to use (the office) and it
hasn't worked," Chaney said.
“(\Veaver) requires a computer
and a telephone for her work, and
the room doesn't have that now.
She‘s pretty much having to run
back and forth between the room
and the SGA office, which accom—
plisbes nothing."

Chaney said he thought stu—
dent services should always take
priority over meeting space, esper

cially when many of the meetings
taking place in Room 119 didn't
involve students, but faculty and
LVK employees.

“I feel that Student Legal Sere
vices takes far more precedence
over (meetings involving) custodi
al crew training," he said.

Craycraft said he thought the
compromise was fair and suited
SCA's needs.

“(SAM has always recognized
the need for Legal Services at
UK," he said.

“It just doesn't make sense for
the room to go unused for so
many hours a day."

 

 

 

 

 

Haggin Hall residents hoping to improve

image afier string of new renovations

By Stephen Trimble

Senior Stuff I l 'riter

“’hen Matt Engelhardt is introduced among
friends, he often hears subdued chuckles lifting from
the group.

“This is my friend Matt," begins the introduction.
“He‘s the Hall Director at Haggin Hall.”

Chuckle, chuckle.

However, Engelhardt may be gettin r the last
laugh as Haggin Hall, popularly called the wildest
dormitory on campus, undergoes a $1 million
facelift.

For now, Engelhardt answers Haggin Hall's crit~
ics with this retort:

“I counter that we’re )robably one of the better-
kept secrets on campus,” he said.

New carpet, desks and bunk beds have been placed
in each ofHaggin Hall’s 370 resident rooms at a cost
of nearly $630,000. “Some ofthe replaced furnish-
ings were suspected to be as old as the 1960 building
itself," Engelhardt said.

Shiny new windows now frame every room that
rings the square, four-story building.

“The large metallic windows enclosing the fame
room and the second—floor study area will be
replaced as well," I‘ingelhardt said.

“When all the windows are replaced by this suin—
nier, the bill will come to about $560,000,“ he said.

But that isn’t all.

“A $24,000 kitchen with a stove, refrigerator and
sink will be added to a corner of the game room this
fall,” Engelhardt said. “A laundry may be added to
the A section side of the building, doubling the laun—

 

 

 

dry facilities in D section."

There also are plans to build a
new entrance to Haggin Hall.
Visitors and parents currently
wait outside and call their host via
an outdoor phone.

The chan yes may come at a price, but Iingelhardt
reminds the historicaIly-troubled hall has a bad repu—
tation to lose.

331' rap

Five years ago, Engelhardt said that Haggin Hall
was a different place.

Vagrants slept in the courtyard, wild parties were
customary and thousands of dollars in property was
damaged or stolen each year.

In fact, minor has it that “Playboy" once natned
Haggin Hall as one of the Top 10 party halls on col-
lege campuses, Engelhardt said.

An alleged rape occurred a few years ago. Then,
Engelhardt said, things began changing.

A tight security system was installed during the
summer of 1993, which cornered residents at Haggin
Hall's entrance with video cameras and a card reader.

The office, which had been on the second floor,
was moved downstairs to face those people who
entered and exited.

The entrance and passageways on opposite sides
of Haggin Hall used to be open. People came and
went freely.

“There was nothing except the lock on your own
door to keep people out of there,” Engelhardt said.

But those passages were closed, except for fire
doors that residents can only use during emergencies.

"AGE“ REBORN Haggin Hull (liji) had several u'indou‘s replaced through~
out the building. David .Stohuugh (ahore , a serondaiy education and sorta!
studies senior and resident adviser studies in his room.

Some residents complained about the tough secu—
rity measures.

“There doesn’t seem to be much freedom," said
Clay Maddox, a musical performance freshman. “It
feels like it’s stricter here than at home."

But Residence Life officials said that Haggin Hall
residents aren’t being singled out.

As soon as the money is available, each ofthe dor—
mitories will get the same security system, starting
with the Kirwan-Blanding towers, said Deborah
Hazard, director ofthe Office of Residence Life.

The security seems to have paid off at Haggin
Hall.

Before the card readers and cameras were
installed, more than $3,600 of damage was done to
Haggin Hall property ~ in one semester, the spring
of 1993.

In the fall semester, $2,727.50 of property was
vandalized and had to be repaired.

After the security chan es took place during the
1993 summer, the cost of damages droiped more
than $3,000 in the 1993 fall semester, and has stayed
low ever since.

But most people around campus don't know it.

Ask journalism freshman Carlos Dawson, who
says he gets “mixed reactions“ from people when he
says he lives in Haggin Hall, including mock sympa—
thy. But he likes the place.

“It‘s pretty decent," he said.

mm France defies

protests with testing

PAPEFTE, Tahiti — Defying international
protests, France set off an under rround nuclear
blast yesterday on a remote ato l in the South
Pacific, beginning a series that it says will include
up to eight nuclear tests.

The blast took place at 12: i0 a.m. (5:30 pm.
EDT) in a tunnel beneath .\lururoa Atoll, mili—
tary spokesman Col. Abel .\loittier announced in
Tahiti, capital of the French territory in the
South Pacific.

The blast ended a three-year French morato—

‘ riuiii on nuclear testing, which had been joined

by all of the world's nuclear powers except
China.

Public outrage erupted when French Presi~
dent lacques Chirac announced the planned tests
in lime, saying they were necessary so that
France could create computer simulations that
would make further tests unnecessary.

Dole: no ‘autumn ot compromise’

CHICAGO —— In a blunt message to the
\Vhite House and his GOP presidential rivals,
Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole vowed yester-
day to “fight to the end for fundamental conser-
vative change" in the welfare and budget battles
that top the fall congressional agenda.

“This will not be an autumn of cotnpromise —
make no mistake about it," Dole said in a speech
to the Economic Club ofChicago.

Dole laid down his marker for the coming leg~
islative debates in a speech that aides had
promised would assert the senator's credentials as
an economic conservative, something that has
been called into question by his rivals for the
1996 (K )P nomination.

lllBW group aiming to raise awareness on race

By Brett Dawson
Senior Stafl Writer

Black students make up over 5
percent of the student population
at UK, and while a host of differ-
ent races formulate the student
body, there are those who would
call the mostly white makeup of
campus racially homogeneous.

Kelly Meget isn’t one of those
people.

Meget, one of the students
behind A.W.A.R.E. — the
Alliance Working to Achieve
Racial Equality —- sees UK's cam-

pus as something more.

“Coming from a small town
where there wasn’t much diversi-
ty,” Meget said, “I came to UK
and saw a place where there were

‘50 many different kinds of people.
It was a great experience.”

Meget, a senior, became so
interested in people of different
races and their interaction, she
decided to pursue it as a career —
her major in sociology and her
minor in African—American stud—
ies, she said, will lead her to a
career “concentrating on race
relations.”

. ,, .. ‘W s- -__--._ -.____ .

When Meget was asked last fall
to join the Institute for Healing
Racism, she jumped at the chance.

The Institute, fonned partly to
deal with the racial tensions sur-
rounding the shooting of a black
teenager by a white police officer,
provided the opportunity Meget
thought UK students needed —
an outlet to voice frustrations.

The Institute continued hold-
ing meetings throughout the year,
and when its founder, Mahsa Vos-
sugh, graduated last spring, Meget
and Jude McPherson, an English
and sociology major at Lexington

Community College, took over
the program.

With help from members of a
steering committee, which
includes Dean of Students David
Stockham, McPherson and Meget
chose the name A.W.A.R.E. to
“better reflect" the goals of the
program, McPherson said.

The name has changed, but the
goal of A.W.A.R.E. remains much
the same as that of the Institute
for Healing Racism —— to provide
a sounding board where people
can discuss racial issues.

“UK does not have any pro-

.--...{_-_..._._ . ., -..._, ._- _

grams that address problems that
deal with race and ethnicity, and
that’s sad,” McPherson said. “You
can walk across campus and see
Asian students, Latino students,
Caucasian students, African-
American students —- and all of
these roups tend to stick to
themsefves.”

A.W.A.R.E. begins addressing
the reasons tonight at its first
meeting, beginning at 7 in 305
Student Center. The group isn't
concerned with the number of
minority students on campus. In
fact, McPherson said, it‘s far more
important to address racial ten-
sions on a cam us like UK's,
where white stu ents are in the
vast majority.

. .-.- .. . "6' - -.‘.,._....__ -.__._ .-

“When there's a lack of diversi~
ty in any arena, more stereotypes
and more untruths about groups
are going to come out,” McPher-
son said. “In an environment that
is predominantly Caucasian, it
becomes even more important to
deal with these issues.”

The goal of A.VV.A.R.E. is to
deal with those issues through
communication and Meget hopes
for a large participation from the
UK student body.

“We don‘t pretend to think
that we can solve all of this cam-
pus’ racial problems,” she said.
“\Vhat we are is a starting oint
where people can come and isten
and hopefully get involved in the
discussion.”

Fans coming out to Commonwealth Stadium will
even see Williams playing a new position — kickoff
returner. Against the Cardinals, Williams lined up ,1
with freshman Craig Yeast on the kickoff return i:
team. But don't think W'illiams’ special teams ability ‘
is limited to returning kicks. ‘

Curry said the Columbus, Ga. native, with his
fearless play and punishing strength, could be a dom-
inating force on the Cats' kickoff coverage team, but
the UK coach said \Villiams already has too many '
other responsibilities on this year’s squad. i

“Moe is just playing really hard," Curry said.
“He‘s doing a great job on special teams where we've
asked him. VVe’re trying to be sparing with him.
\Ve’re trying not to put him on every special team.

No Rocky Mountain high for the Cats

Dreisbncly backflom japan tourney

By Stephen Trimhle

St-mm' Smfl' II ’rm'r

UK's brightest star on the vol-
leyball team, Molly Dreisbach, was
absent as her team faced
three tough teams amidst /
the Rocky Mountains in
the Colorado Classic.

\Vith Dreisbach's shad-
ow removed, UK coach
Fran Ralston—Flory hoped
some of her up—andwom- %
ing players, such as junior

Gina Heustis would shine Dreisbach

in the team‘s season open-
er.
But it didn’t happen.
The \Vildcats dropped all three
matches over the weekend to 10th—
ranked University of Colorado,
12th-ranked ()hio State University
and Georgia Tech.
And they lost big.

  

The \Vildcats finished as a team
with a woeful .069 attack percent—
age and a high margin of error,
Ralston-Flory said.

In the three best-of—three game
matches, UK (0—3) lost nine

1 of 10 games. The
last game they
played, against ()SU,
the \Vildcats lost 15-
1.

“I’m fairly disap—
pointed about it,”
Ralston-Flory said

concerned about it,
too.”

But she doesn‘t think the poor
opening performance signals bad
tidings for the rest of the season.

After all, UK was playing with—
out its best player, Dreisbach, an
All—Southeastern Conference and
All-South Region swatter.

 

yesterday. “I'm fairly Ralslon-Flory

However, Dreisbach is back this
week from competing on the US.
national volleyball team in japan,
where the Americans finished
fourth.

That’s just in time for the Big
Four tournament at the University
ofIndiana this weekend.

The bad news is that it is
too late for last weekend’s
tournament at the Univer—
sity of Colorado in Boul-
der, Colo.

If Dreisbach had played
last weekend, and per-
formed at her last season‘s
clip of five kills )er game,
Ralston-Flory t inks her
team could have won the
tournament.

Instead, much of the VViIdcats'
hopes in Colorado rested on the ()-
foot-l—inch shoulders of Heustis,
an outside hitter from Louisville.

However, Heustis strug led
early as her opponents keyetf on
her for a servicing target. Heustis

finished with a disappointing 2‘)
kills and .054 attack percentage.

Another player Ralston—Flory
needed to play big this weekend
was her 6-1 sop omore Tracy
Thompson, but the competition
showed the middle blocker was not
fully recovered from a knee injury
Thompson sustained last year,
Ralston—Flory said.

As a team, the Wildcats strug—
gled to control the ball, Ralston—
Flory said.

But there were bright spots for
UK.

Sophomore Cynthia Dozier
showed she could come through in
clutch situations over the weekend,
Ralston—Flory said. Dozier, a COI-
orado native, finished with 17 kills
and 11 digs in the three matches.

And freshman jenny Muzze, a
prep star from Tennessee, layed
above her experience Ieve , Ral-
ston-Flory said. The 6-foot middle
blocker notched three kills and
nine digs off the bench.

wants to foul it up. Heck, even
Hurricane Felix, which threatened
to move toward Baltimore and
wreck Ripken's scheduled date
with destiny, turned away.

“I don’t think Mother Nature
wanted to fool with Cal," Orioles
catcher Chris Hoiles said.

Last night, under ideal weather
conditions, Ripken tied one of the
most revered records in sports, the
2,130 consecutive games played by
Lou Gehrig. More than 13 years
after Ripken started his string of
playing every day, he was ready to
match Gehrig’s mark in a game
against the California Angels.

Tonight at Camden Yards in
Baltimore, about a half—hour drive
from where he grew up, Ripken is
expected to break the record, an
achievement once thought so
unapproachable that Gehrig’s
plaque at Yankee Stadium —
placed more than 50 years ago —
praises him as a man “whose
amazing record of 2,1 30 consecu—
tive games should stand for all
time.”

And now Ripken, like Gehrig a
reluctant hero, is on the brink of
an accomplishment that surely will
be noted someday on the first line

“Momentum is building, you
can feel it, it affects you every part
of the day," Ripken said recently.
“The importance ofit seems to be
growing, which can be a little dis—
tracting when you’re trying to go
out there and play baseball every
night."

game's most a rgressive baserun—
ners, got out o the way last week,
rather than risk sliding hard into
Ripken during a double play when
Oakland visited Baltimore.

On Monday, Angels runner
Jorge Fabregas nicked Ripken’s
foot when he slid cleanly into sec-
ond base.

“I didn‘t realize who it was
when it happened,” Fabregas said.
“\Vhen I got back to the dugout,
one of the guys said, ‘You almost
got a piece ofCaI. I was like, Oh,
no!"

Last month, Boston ace Roger
Clemens, who throws hard and
isn’t afraid to hit batters, admitted
he was relieved he wouldn’t have
to face Ripken until the record was
broken.

Forget that the 35-year—old
Ripken has been hit by pitches 44
times since his streak started on
May 30, 1982, and has never
missed a game. In fact, he's never
had a broken bone in his life.

“I think we’ll all be a little
relieved when he has the streak
record," Fabregas said.

Even the Orioles have stopped
horsing around with their playful
shortstop.

Ripken likes to bear-wrestle
with teammates in the clubhouse
before games.

No one wants to play with him
these days.

\Vhen the Orioles take the field
for the first time each game, Rip-
ken bursts out of the dugout and,
like a football wide receiver, runs a

attern across the diamond. First
I'Iaseman Rafael Palmeiro, acting
as the quarterback, throws a ball to
Ripken, while infielder Jeff Huson
defends the play, trying to knock
away the pass.

Not lately.

“It's been in the back of my
mind, don’t get near him,” Huson
said. “I'm going into the prevent
defense.“

True to his nature, Ripken has
asked that the record-tying and
record-breaking games not be
stopped when they become offi—
cial. To Ripken, as always, the
game is the most important thing
and must go on.

He even seemed a little
annoyed at himseIfMonday when,
during a two—minute standing ova-
tion after game No. 2,129 became
official, he wasn’t paying attention
and let one of Palmeiro’s warmu
throws bounce past him into left
field.

“I'm tying to do the best I can,"
he said. “It can be draining. In a
little while, it will all be over."
