UK spends big bucks
on asbestos removal

Dedicating the dollars: Contractors putting
focus on priority sites where it's prevalent

Dy Kara Fitzgerald

CONTRIBUTING WRITER

UK has been taking asbestos
more seriously than you might
think. Since 1984. UK has spent
more than $9 million surveying.
testing and removing asbestos
from campus.

State-certified contractors are
hired to handle the situation and
to make sure no one is exposed to
the asbestos. This expensive proce-
dure involves workers wearing
protective suits. complete with
masks and respirators. discarding
the toxic material into special
waste dumpsters.

Both the Environmental Pro-
tection Agency and the Occupa-
tional Safety and Health Adminis-
tration have set strict regulations
concerning asbestos. said Woody
Bottom. environmental protection
director for UK.

“It is the University’s desire to
provide a safe environment for
students. staff. visitors. employees
and everybody asbestos is some-
thing we've been dealing with for
quite awhile." he said.

In the mid-19805. UK started an
extensive testing program with
surveys done in all the buildings,
from residence halls to classroom

and administrative buildings. Bot-
tom said. The asbestos identiﬁed is
continually monitored.

A common misconception is
that the mere presence of asbestos
means danger. This is not always
the case. Bottom said. If the as-
bestos-containing materials are in
good condition and are not dam~
aged. exposure is not likely. If
damage or deterioration have oc-
curred. exposure is likely.

UK‘s Environmental Protec-
tion Department knows where all
of the existing asbestos is on cam-
pus via air monitoring. and it per-
forms routine checkups to make
sure the asbestos remains con-
tained. Bottom said. In the past.
UK has conducted asbestos re-
moval projects. usually during a
construction. demolition or reno-
vation project.

“The University is a very big
place. and it's just not possible to
get all of the asbestos at once. so
we prioritize it on risk or potential
risk." Bottom said. “We're going to
keep as safe as possible."

Many people. including stu-
dents. equate asbestos with can-
cer.

“The ﬁrst thing that comes to
mind is the whole cancer angle.
that if you're around it for long
enough. if you live around it. work

around it. then you‘re definitely
going to get cancer." said Jenny
Phillips. 3 math and philosophy ~iu-
nior, “But i don‘t know anything
about the short term effects or how
to discern if you are affected: it's
just a little disturbing."

Dr. Tony Horstman. who
works in L'K‘s Department of
Preventive Medicine and Envi-
ronmental Health. said cancer
from asbestosis usually affects
those who have been highly ex-
posed to the substance such as
the workers who remove it Stu
dents are not generally at risk.
he said.

One of the tricky things about
asbestos is you might not know
you have been exposed until 20 or
30 years down the road. Ilorstman
said.

Asbestosis. which is a scarring
of the lungs. and lung cancer are
two possible results of asbestos ex
posure. Horstman said. Asbestos
exposure coupled with smoking
can increase your risk of long can
cer. he said.

“Another type of cancer that is
almost totally limited to aslwstiw
is mesothelioma. which affects the
lining of the liver and is universal
ly fatal." Horstman said. “There is
no treatment."

Franzese:
Avoid the
gambling
lifestyle

Ex-mobster gives wake-up
call to student-athletes

By James Ritchie
CAMPUS EDITOR

College athletes cannot afford to be in—
volved with anyone associated with orga»
nized crime. a former New York mobster
told a crowd of 300 Thursday night at the
Singletary Center for the Arts.

Organized crime preys on student
athletes. luring them in with gifts and a
glamorous lifestyle and then convincing
them to shave points or
share inside information
about their team. said
Michael Franzese. a ma-
jor organized crime fig-
ure in the 19705 and '805.
during a mandatory lec-
ture for all [X student-
athletes. coaches and
staff.

Franzese served sev-
en years in federal
prison on racketeering
charges iiiy'olving college athletes.

He then walked away from orga-
nized crime.

"You may know your way around a
basketball court or a baseball or football
field. but once you jump into my territo-
ry. you‘re amateurs." he said, "You are
no match for anyone in that way of life.
You don‘t want to be involved.

Tubby Smith to give
keynote at Lyman T
Johnson dinner

By Michael lleppermann

STAFRWRITER

There are more reasons to celebrate
Homecoming week than just football.

Ask L'K's Alumni Association.

The Lyman T. Johnson Alumni Associe
ation will host its eighth-annual Homecom»
iiig Awards Banquet in honor of the first
African American to attend PR. The festiyv
ities begin at 6' pm. Thursday in the Stu-
dent Center Grand Ballroom

Johnson was admitted to l'K after a
court battle in 1949. and he has been de
scribed as a pioneer by many of L‘K‘s
African American faculty. staff and alum-
ni.

Derrick Ramsey. a former UK All-
American and one of six l'K faculty or stallr
members to be honored. said Johnson set a
precedent.

“He plowed the way for people like my-
self." Ramsey said.

Ramsey will also emcee the banquet.
As a member of two NFL Super Bowl teams

the 1981 Oakland Raiders and the 1985
New England Patriots he‘s received a
number of accolades over the years. Being
recognized by the Johnson Alumni Associe
atioii. though. will stand out.

“It‘s definitely a very distinguished
award." he said. '"Sl‘iillf‘lhlllg ofthis magni~
tude doesn‘t come along very often."

Following the banquct‘s theme. ”Recog-
nizing ()ur Past and Building Our Future
on Wings of Eagles.” the association will
recognize the achievements of six faculty
and staff members from very diverse ﬁelds.

Those being honored are Wilbur Hack~
ctt (community St‘l‘Vlt't‘l. Everett McCorvey
(fine arts). Johnc Parker (engineering). Jim
Wims in (residence life). Zelia W. Holloway
(agriculture) and Ramsey (alumni affairs).

NATO troops may intervene in Kosovo

LONDON NATO would have to send
troops to Kosovo to enforce any political settle-
ment of the conflict between Serbia and the eth-
nic Albanian majority in the province. British
Defense Secretary George Robertson said yes-
terday.

It was one of the clearest acknowledgements
yet by a senior Western politician that NATO's
military planning for the Kosovo crisis is not

limited to the threat of air strikes.

“It is conceivable that if (Yugoslav President)
Slobodan Milosevic is involved in a genuine
ceaseﬁre — and not just some cat-and-mouse tac-
tic that he‘s been involved in before - and there
is a prospect of a political settlement on the
ground, there clearly would have to be NATO
troops to enforce it, or keep the peace," Robert-
son told BBC television.

Roseanne says she'll pay Monica

Hollywood — Roseanne said she would be
willing to pay Monica Lewinsky $2 million to $3
million to appear on her new talk show.

Appearing on CNN's “Larry King Live."
Roseanne said. “Oh. hell yeah I‘ll pay for her. I
told her seven figures times two or three." she
replied. It was not clear whether she had spoken
directly to Lewinsky.

Roseanne‘s talk show is produced by King
World, the same company that produces Oprah
Winfrey's show. Winfrey said earlier in the week
that she had rejected a deal to air an exclusive in-
terview with Lewinsky because it came with
strings attached W a demand for overseas distri-
bution rights.

Holloway. the coordinator of minority re-
cruiting in the agriculture program. said she's
delighted to be one of those honored.

“I‘m really pleased." she said. “It‘s excit-
ing to be recognized by the community."

Ramsey will have the company of UK bas-
ketball coach Tubby Smith, who will give the
keynote address.

Smith was honored at last year's banquet
where the theme revolved around people who
had broken barriers. Ollen Hinnant. an alum-
ni member, said the eagles in this year’s
theme symbolize the success of the recipients.

“We used eagles because they have strong
vision and wings to help them reach their
goals," Hinnant said.

This is the first year the banquet will be
held on UK‘s campus. and Burnam is taking
advantage of the opportunity by inviting all
the student organizations to attend. Next year
marks the 50th anniversary of Johnson's ﬁrst
year at UK, and Bumam wants students to un-
derstand his impact.

“It‘s important to share the history of Ly-
man T. Johnson," he said. “We hope that by
inviting all the student organizations, stu-
dents will feel welcome to attend.“

Tickets are $20 for the public. $15 for stu-
dents and can be purchased through the
Alumni Association.

Miller‘s vision for the

“I‘m not proud of some of
the things I've done. I certain-
ly added to the destruction of
many athletes‘ careers."

An athlete gets hooked
quickly by performing even
one illegal action. such as
shaving points from a game, at
the request of an organized
crime associate, Franzese
said.

“As soon as they did it,
we owned them." he said.

Placing bets is risky busi-
ness. too. he said.

Because bookmaking is
illegal in most states. book-
ies are by definition crimi—
rials.

All are in some way asso-
ciated with organized crime,
he said. and all eventually get
caught.

That‘s when the student-
athlete who has dealt with a
bookmaker is likely to get in
trouble. he said.

The bookmaker will not
hesitate to tell on the athlete
with the hope of receiving a
lighter sentence.

"You don't have friends
under that kind of pressure."

Franzese said.

But there’s good news: Or-
ganized crime can be avoided.

“Nobody’s going to walk
up to you and say, ‘You have
to make a bet or lose a game
or we‘re going to kill you or
break your legs.” he said.

“They‘re smarter than
that. The way it's going to
happen is you’re going to
make a mistake.

“The only way to fall prey
to something like this is if you
take the ﬁrst step."

He said anyone who can
potentially inﬂuence the out-
come of a game is a target for
organized crime. from the
players to the team physician
to the referees.

Asked by an audience
member if he‘d ever had any-
one killed, Franzese said, “All I
can say is that when you are
part of that life. you have to do
some things that are not pleas-
ant."

Associate Athletics Direc-
tor Bob Bradley said UK
brought Franzese to campus
because it realizes gambling
can affect its own athletes.

"The more I‘ve been ex-
posed and the more I talk to
people who have been ex-
posed. I see that it is a reality."
Bradley said.
