WATTS WINS; OTHER
RACES UNDECIDED

Celebration

After her victory in the Student Government presidential election is announced, Rachel Watts hugs supporter Lindsay Catavolos.

The saga continues: Because of a voting discrepancy,
an 56 election board recommends another election

NEWS EDITOR

Rachel Watts won the Student Government presidential
election Thursday. but a new election may be held for sena-
tors because of discrepancies in voting results.

Poll results show that 171 more ballots were cast than
there were people recorded by poll workers to have voted. Ei-
ther one or more people broke into the polling machine to
cast a number of votes. or poll workers didn't properly
record which students were voting. said Eric Mills. the 86
election investigator.

Kellen Baker. the Elections Board of Supervision chair—
man. said he plans to file a claim to the 80 Supreme Court
today recommending a new election for at-large and college
senators. While results from Wednesday's and Thursday's
elections do reveal who got the most votes for the positions.
those results are not ﬁnal. he said.

But Watts and running mate Matt Rippetoe garnered
enough votes that the discrepancy was irrelevant. They re-
ceived 1.235 votes. David Hutchinson and Lesli Profﬁtt came
in second with 846 votes. Matt Falk and James Monroe had
399 votes. and Kyle Jewell and Brianna Shaffer had 221 votes.

Even if the 171 is subtracted from Watts‘ total and added
to Hutchinson's total. Watts won by 47 votes. so the glitches
didn't affect the outcome. Baker said.

The losing presidential candidates said they will file
claims against Watts for campaign violations. including
hanging oversized posters and taping posters to glass. both
of which are illegal according to the SG constitution. Watts
denied the claims.

“I followed all the rules." she said. “I did everything the
way it was supposed to be done."

If the claims are considered. Watts could lose the presi-
dency According to the SG constitution. a winning candi-
date could be removed if the claims were proven and serious
enough.

Voters also gave their mandate on a referendum approv~
ing an online basketball ticket lottery with 1.714 votes in fa-
vor of the change and 875 votes against it. The Athletics
Department will take the vote into consideration when they
consider changing the system.

The SC Supreme Court will decide when and if another
election will be held. Mills said he would like to change the
system so that when poll workers enter a student's lD num-
ber into the computer system. he or she will automatically
be labeled as having voted. Baker said they may also consid-
er doing an online election.

Under the current system. poll workers have to click on
an icon to verify that a person is voting. and some workers
may have forgotten to do that. Mill said.

Baker said he spoke with several campus representa-
tives. including Tony Blanton. associate dean of students.
and Paul VanBooven. a university lawyer. before deciding
that filing a claim for another election would be the fairest
thing to do.

“We struggled with what to do. What we wanted to do as
best we could is balance the voice of the voters to the inter-
ests of candidates." he said.

Polls show that 2.823 students voted. while the comput-

Relaxed policies
for dorm visitation

will start

next fall

Residence Life will apply four options to specific dorms
next week; students to get assignments by mid-May

STAFF WRITER

After more than a year of
consideration. the UK admin
istration has approved a more
liberal visitation policy for
the university's 18 residence
halls. The policy goes into ef-
fect fall 2003.

Pat Terrell. vice president
for student affairs. accepted
Wednesday all of the recom-
mendations proposed by the
visitation policy committee.
Her approval marks UK's ﬁrst
major visitation policy
change in four decades.

Administrators will im»
plement one of four visitation
options in each dorm. Option
one is 24-hours a day. seven
days a week visitation. Option
two is 24-hours a day on the
weekends only. Option three
is similar to the current visi-
tation policy. Option four.
which is contingent on de-
mand. applies the third option
to a single gender hall. Dur-
ing the first two weeks of
class. option three will be en-
forced in all residence halls.

Terrell said she thinks
the two-week holding period
will be the most controversial
part of the policy. She said

this period is necessary for

residents to ﬁnd out who lives
with them.

"Students need to know
who lives with them for the
safety and security of the
community." she said.

Director of Residence
Life Jim Wims. who is a mem-
ber of the visitation commit-
tee. said he thinks students
will prefer the new policy:

“We are providing op-

tions." said Wims “This is not
a oiie-sizoﬁts-ail policy."

A Residence Life survey
conducted in January found
that 66 percent of current resi
dents prefer option one.

"They should have done
this before." said journalism
junior Jessica Stewart.
“They've finally realized that
it‘s better to let students make
decisions."

Early education sopho~
more Lori Fey said she likes
the policy‘s flexibility

“Some people may not
feel safe in a dorm with 24-
hour visitation, Others would
really like 24-hour visitation.
They can go where they
want." she said.

One of Wims' considera-
tions was the effect that the
new policy will have on al-
ready busy RAs. He said that
the biggest change for RAs
will be their role as upfront
mediators on the roommate
agreements.

Spanish junior Mattie
()room. who has been an RA
for two years. likes the fact
that the administration is giv-
ing students choices but hopes
that next year she Will not
work in a dorm with Zihour
visitation. “That would make
my job harder." she said.
”There would be more room
mate conflicts."

Residence Life is respon-
sible for determining how to
apply the new policy: Wims
said that it will begin the
process of assigning the four
options to speciﬁc dorms next
week. He said that all new res-
idents will receive notice of
these assignments before next
semester.

Law professor tells class
UK needs to hire women

Carolyn Bratt, who left her Women's Commission post
last semester in protest, says her research will continue

By Sdly Oalies

CONTRIBUTING WRITER

UK has historically been
slow to hire females and mi-
norities. and those hired have
lower positions than most
white males. a former chair of
the President‘s Commission
on Women said.

The ﬁrst white female
student was enrolled in 1880
even though UK was estab~
lished in 1863. UK hired its
ﬁrst white female faculty
member in 1888. The first
black faculty member was
hired in 1967.

Carolyn Bratt. a law pro
fessor. cited these facts during
her guest lecture Thursday
night to a human relations
and the administration of or
ganizations class.

“How do you bring about
change?" Bratt asked the
class. “How do you get people
to think about change?"

Bratt resigned from the
Commission on Women in lie
cember 2002 because she be
came frustrated with UK‘s ad-
ministration and criticized
the search process for high-
ranking positions.

“The higher the rank of
position. the fewer women
and minorities you are going
to find there." she said

Bratt has conducted
years worth of research try
ing to understand how

Bratt recommended that
UK eliminate barriers to
women's professional ad
vanceinent. ensure equitable
compensation and rewards
for women. promote the em-
ployment of women and cre-
ate a hospitable climate for
women.

Although Bratt resigned
from the commission. she
continues to update research.
“A core group of us have
spent a lot of time developing
this research and do not want
to lose it. It's important not to
let it disapix‘ar." Bratt said.

In the audience was the
first black dean at I'K. John
Harris. “She is of very high
caliber." said Harris. chair of

could see how someone coultl
forget to verify that a person

"It happened to me once.
before I realized anti quickly
fixed it.“ she said. “it's very
likely that it happened to oth-

This is the second year
using this type of voting sys-
tem. Baker trained the poll
workers. who are members of
various student organiza—
tions. They spent more than
an hour learning how the
machines and the computers
work. he said.

There is a possibility
that the workers. who were
the only ones who could acti-
vate the machines. could
have cast the 17] votes. Baker
said. though he is not direct

ing blame on anyone.

"It's just a stupitlass
mistake. anti frankly. it prob
ably did not impact the out
come of this election." Mills
said.

In the meantime. those
vying for the positions can
keep their signs posted. Bak-
er said he would also try to
ensure that canditlates could
start a fresh campaign. with
new spending limits.

Hut at least one candi-
date was happy with the re
sults.

Rachel Watts t'overetl her
face upon hearing the elec-
tion results. as Rippetoe anti
senate candidate John Weis
embraced her.

“Words couldn‘t explain
how I felt. My heart was beat-
ing so fast." Watts said.

She said she already
knows what she wants to do
as president.

"I'll be ready at the start
of the year to start putting
things into action." she said.
"What I'm going to do now is
start setting up meetings
with different organizations
anti networking.

I also want to go ahead
anti start improving commu~
nication" with Lexington
government. UK administra-
tion and student organiza-
tions such as the Student Ac<

Some of the losing presi-
dential candidates were
tearyeyed; others matle jokes
about the results.

Falk. a finance and manage
meni llllllttl'. and Monroe. a

iunior. were expressionless
as the results were an

consider running again next
year.

First runners-up David
Hutchinson and Lesli Proffitt
hugged and blinked back
tears before turning to sup-

Hutchinson. a market-

the issue is not who won the

“Regardless of win-

Keeneland track presents

horse racing in its prime

brings In crowds ol
more than 20, 000
on busy days. Thls

$500,000 purse
race with hooetul ill-

All the pretty horses: Keeneland racetrack makes
a break from the regular rigamarole of daily life

ey Robbie cm
ASSISTANT SCENE EDITOR

And they’re off.

As the sun has staked
its claim on the Lexington
heavens over the ominous
gray skies of old man win-
ter, horse racing fans can re‘
joice as today marks the
opening day for Keeneland‘s
April season.

A day at the tracks is
well deserved considering
the ghastly weather of the
previous months and trepi-
dation caused by the war in
Iraq, said Tom Thornsbury.
associate director of sales
at Keeneland.

“It’s spring. and we‘ve
had a long, hard winter.“ he
said. “Keeneland is just the
place to get away from all
that with the beauty and
pageantry of horse racing.“

He said the park makes
“a wonderful refuge and is a
place to enjoy racing the
way it was meant to be.“

Opening weekend at

Keeneland features the Ash-
land Stakes. a race featur—
ing hopeful fillies for the
Kentucky Oaks. For those
interested in wagering a
bet, Thornsbury said Lady
Tak and Elloluv were the
ones to watch.

On a busy day at
Keeneland. such as the Toy-
ota Blue Grass Stakes on
April 12. Thornsbury said
to expect a mass of people
20.000 strong.

“When those horses
make that ﬁnal turn for the
home stretch. it sounds like
a jet is taking off," he said.

Normal racing days
bring in crowds over 10.000.

Thornsbury said that
Keeneland is interested in
more college participation.
As a graduate of UK. he re—
members his days at the
track. "I skipped many a
class on Friday to see the
long—legged ponies." he said.

On April 18, Keeneland
hosts College Day, in which
a college ID will get the stu-

dent free admission to the
track. as well as place the

student in a drawing for

scholarships for $1.000 ran-
domly picked following
each race.

Keeneland is not a prof-
it organization. Thornsbury
said. All the profits go to
employee salaries and park
upkeeping in order to “pre
sent racing at the very high
est quality than any where
in the world,"

Money left over is do-
nated to Fayette county and
surrounding area charities.

Thornsbury said
Keeneland has donated over
$12 million to charitable or-
ganizations.

Keeneland is open to
the public each morning be-
fore races begin. a prime op-
portunity for viewing hors-
es in a more intimate set-
ting. Thornsbury said.

“When some of the
horses that come north to
Keeneland from New Or-
leans or Florida. and the
grass is greener and the air
is chilly in the morning.
those horses just jump out
of their skin."

Can anybody say “Florida?"

It seems like Student Government can’t hold
an election without bungling some part of it.

Last year, some voting booths weren’t open
for the appropriate amount of time. and many
students a especially those from Lexington
Community College _, felt disenfranchised.
This year. SG election officials pledged that
things would be different.

They weren't.

Discrepancies between the votes cast on
polling machines and the number of voters
who registered at polling places meant that
many candidates went home not knowing
whether they won or lost.

Obviously. something’s wrong.

In many senatorial races. the margin be-
tween the winner and the loser is small
enough that this discrepancy could have cost
someone an election. The candidates deserve a
new election.

And it should be a new election where the
human error is greatly reduced. Yesterday. dur-
ing a busy time at the Classroom Building’s two
polling machines. only one person was working
to ensure the process ran smoothly. This person
had to check student ID cards. register the
votes cast and double-check that the students
were actually voting. The computer system was

election

set up so that one worker would be doing all
this for multiple people at the same time. This
is more than an invitation for human gaffes;
it’s a stamped and addressed RSVP for error.

It seems like every year, something of this
nature happens. With five weeks left in school,
SG will have to deal with election claims from
candidates, grumblings from students and pos-
sibly a new election —- which raises the ques-
tion of why the SG elections are held so late in
the year anyway.

Election claims are usually heard by the SG
Supreme Court, which is made up of law stu-
dents. These students, who are probably cram-
ming already for finals or the bar exam, will
now have to hear these claims and decide what
should be done about them. The timing is terri-
ble. After all, what would you be more worried
about: passing the bar and becoming a lawyer,
or how the SG elections should turn out?

SG should have a new election this year
and consider moving next year’s election to
early March, which would give ample time
for hearing claims. In the next election -— be
it next week or next year *— election officials
must work out the kinks that caused the
discrepancies.

The argument will be
that newer better facilities
present a better image of the
universiti

dents. who are the greatest
form of advertising for this
institution.

Parents see us as the fu-
ture of their sons and
daughters. They want to
know that their children will

So far the discussion has
remained limited and has
not addressed these cocerns

The desire to continue to
grow and improve is neces

day one. the new administra-
tion has taken aggressive
steps towards this end.

However. there are
times indeed. this may be
one of those when the dri-
ve for the future may need to
wait so that current prob-
lems and challenges are
met

The last thing we want
is a beautiful campus and
great facilities that no one
not on scholarship can of
ford.
