K Police investigating assault on campus

By GREGORY A. HALL
Assomate Editor

UK Police are investigating an al-
leged assault that occrured Wednes-
day night behind the W.D. Funk—
houser Building on the main
campus.

A female UK student was physi»
cally assaulted at about 9:30 pm,
said UK spokesman Ralph Derick-
son.

"The vtctiiit did not want infill?

ment," he said She lives on cam-
pus, he added.

The alleged assailant was de-
scribed Wednesday night as a black
male, about 6-foot-2 with a skinny
but muscular build. He reportedly
was wearing a green sweater and
blue jeans. Derickson confimied the
description yesterday and said a
composite drawing of the man had
been made and was being circulated
on campus.

Dcrickson said the man was in a

red car.

“The car apparently came in off
Washington (Street) into that area
behind Funkhouser and then exrted
back onto Washington Street,“ he
said.

Derickson said police believe no
one else was involved.

UK Police Chief W.H, Mc(‘oma.s
declined to comment outside at-
knowledging that police are investi-
gating an alleged assault.

He would not give details of the

iric‘ident, citing the Buckley
Amendment which prohibits dis-
cIOsures of university records that.
if released would imade student's
privacy.

UK received a letter from the
118 Department of Education last
year. which warned the University
that the Buckley Amendment ap
plied to campus police records as
self as atatletiitc records.

xitCotttas also cited a provision
of the Kentucky ()pen Rd ords
