University has
several options
for Rose Street

 

By Anne Jackson
Staff Writer

 

UK is committed to solving safe-
ty problems posed by Rose Street,
but closing the thoroughfare is just
one of several options currently be-
ing evaluated, school officials say.

Earlier this month, in a presenta-
tion on UK‘s future Central and
Life Sciences Library, director of
UK Libraries Paul Willis observed
that pressure to resolve the Rose
Street dilemma will mount with the
library's expected completion in
1996 and the ensuing construction
of academic buildings east of Rose
Street.

“We don’t have any specific pro-
posal to close Rose Street,“ said
Donald Clapp, UK Vice President
of Administration. “We (are) con-
cerned about the safety of students
and others trying to cross Rose
Street. In fact, we identified a
whole list of alternatives trying to
deal with that."

Other options outlined in UK’s
Physical Development Plan, com-
pleted in 1991, include construction
of vehicular or pedestrian overpass-

es or underpasses, and limiting ac-
cess of vehicles.

According to the plan, a vehicu-
lar underpass would reduce only
some of the safety hazards vehicles
pose to pedestrians and would not
relieve the flow of traffic.

Additionally, the report said, the
expense of disrupting utilities along
Rose Street and the required con-
struction time would be considera-
ble, while offering “questionable
paybacks to the City of Lexington
and the University.”

The study also finds fault with
another approach — building an
overpass for Rose Street. The report
said such a structure would be “vis-
ually discordant and inappropriate"
and have “a detrimental impact to
the image of the University." Fur-
thermore, its long ramps would im-
pede pedestrian and vehicular ac-
cess to buildings on Rose Street.

Pedestrian bridges and tunnels of-
fer less expensive options, but pose
different problems.

“Obviously, if you‘re talking
about building an overpass or an

Open house

gives public
hands-on fun

By Jeff Vinson
Contributing Writer

 

 

Bringing UK’s College of Engi-
neering to the public was the idea
behind Saturday’s Engineering
Open House.

The event, which was held in
conjunction with National Engi-
neering Week, featured demon-
strations, exhibitions and student
contests.

The Kentucky Society for Pro-
fessional Engineers, for example,
provided demonstrations on prop-
erties of density and resonance to
motivate younger students by
showing them that science can be
fun.

“We want to spark them on to
science,” said Misha Goetz, presi-
dent of the society and a civil en-
gineering senior.

One of the contests involved
high school and middle school
students, who competed in a mod-
el bridge building contest. The
bridges were judged on their
strength and efficiency of design.

Another contest, called the “E
Olympics," was held between ag-
ricultural, mechanical, materials
and chemical engineering stu-
dents. The students ran an obsta-

cle course in which they were re-
quired to do everything from
solve equations to wheel around
on desk chairs.

“The demonstration shows (the
public) that engineering is fun,”
agriculture freshman Ben Koostra
said.

One of the more popular exhib—
its, sponsored by the Society of
Women

Engineers, was the “Wild
Thing.” lt consisted of a rotating
teeter-totter type of plank with a
waste paper basket on one end and
a chair on the other. Participants
sat in the chair and tried to throw
tennis balls in the basket while ro—

tating around the room.

Jennifer Kelly, an electrical en-
gineering senior, said the contrap—
tion was built at Northern Ken-
tucky University.

Other events included a “crash
survivability" demonstration in
which competitors tried to pack-
age eggs so they would survive a
vertical drop without breaking.

Also on display was a 20 foot-
long steel bridge built by civil en-
gineering students for an Ohio
Valley Conference competition
last year.

The bridge, which took a se-
mester to design and build, placed
third at the competition.

 

 

UK officials dedicate
engineering complex
at weekend ceremony

By Jeff Vinson
Contributing Writer

 

 

UK’s new Civil Engineering and Transportation
Center will help establish the College of Engineer-
ing as one of the best in the world, University Presi-
dent Charlcs Wethington said Saturday.

“When we look back, we will see this facility as
the special catalyst to a world class College of En-
gineering," Wethington said at dedication ceremo-
nies for the $11.6 million structure.

Thomas Lester, dean of the College of Engineer-
ing, agreed, noting that the facilities are “as good as
any place in the country.”

Those facilities include laboratories for classes on
structure, pavement, computer imaging and com-
puter-aided design.

lnadditiontonew classroansandfacultyand
staff offices, the building also contains a computer
lab that houses 48 personal computers for use by
students and faculty.

The additional computers could not have come at
a better time, said Brian Woods. president of the
Engineering Student Council. He said engineering
students are experiencing a major computer crunch.

Lester said the building actually is much larger
titan it appears.

The total square footage is 44,244. about 40 per-

PLO chief seeks more from Israel

 

By Saiah Nasrawl
Associated Press

 

TUNlS, Tunisia -— Seeking to capitalize on the
worldwide outcry over the Hebron mosque massacre,
Yasser Arafat said yesterday that lsrael's pledge to
crack down on Jewish extremists was not enough and
demanded international protection for the Palestinians.

The Palestine Liberation Organization chairman left
the door open for resuming peace talks with Israel, de-
spite pressures to quit in protest over the slaying of 39
worshipers on Friday.

But he and top aides said that if the talks resumed,
the focus would shift to the need for removing 144 Jew-
ish settlements before the implementation of the Sept
13 Palestinian self-mic accord.

Friday's bloodbath plunged lsrael and the occupied
West Bank and Gaza Strip into chaos.

By yesterday, the death toll from the massacre and
subsequent rioting had climbed to 65 with about 360

wounded.

The Israeli Cabinet on Sunday ordered the arrest of
Jewish extremist leaders and pledged to disarm hard-
core settlers in a crackdown designed to lure the Pales-
tinians back to the negotiating table.

But Arafat, in an interview with The Associated
Press, said the measures were “hollow and superficial."

“These are empty decisions which have no relation
with the seriousness of the crime or with the basis of re-
solving it,“ Arafat said.

He renewed his rejection of lsraeli claims that a lone,
mentally unstable extremist was responsible for the
massacre.

He said a “gang of settlers" carried out the shooting
and army soldiers later opened fire on the worshipers.

The Israeli Cabinet decisions, which also included a
pledge to release hundreds of Palestinian prisoners.
were designed to absolve the government of any re-
sponsibility, Arafat said.

'“Pflfiiflw—u‘A-in.uesf“' ‘4‘Mv-m“‘

“Why didn’t the Cabinet say anything about the in-
volvement of some elements of the Israeli army in the
killing?" said Arafat.

“These elements not only let the criminals flee the
scene but they opened fire on our people who were try-
ing to take the injured to the hospitals or came to see
their dead," he said.

Unless the UN. Security Council “takes concrete de-
cisions to provide international protection for the Pales-
tinians, the whole peace process will be in jeopardy,"
he said.

lsrael has vehemently rejected stationing peacekeep-
ers in the terriwries.

Asked if he accepted President Clinton's call for re-
suming the peace negotiations in Washington, Arafat
said the PLO leadership will meet Sunday and today to
decide on the issue.

Arafat has recalled his chief delegates to peace for-

Breaking the Silence

Events to focus
on sexual abuse

By Trent Knuckles
Staff Writer

 

 

A coalition of UK groups is sponsoring Sexual Vio-
lence Awareness Week in an effort to raise students'
consciousness about a problem that remains hidden
from society.

Dr. Rob Ferguson, a counselor at the UK Counsel-
ing Center, said sexual violence “usually takes place in
isolation and secrecy." He hopes the week‘s activities
will bring attention to the problem and help create so-
lutions to stop it.

The groups sponsoring the event, which begins to-
day, include the Counseling Center, UK National Or-
ganization for Women, the Religious Advisers Staff
and Student Health Services.

The Rev. Richard Elliot of Saint Augustine’s Chapel
and Sister Ellen Kehoe of the Catholic Newman Cen-
ter are the main coordinators of the event

Events begin today at noon with speeches by several
campus ministers on “Faith and the Sanctity of the Per-
son." The presentation will be given on Student Center
patio.

Tomorrow, Ferguson will speak at the Newman
Center at 7 pm. “We will be letting pet-tile know the
stats on sexual violence," Ferguson said.

Ferguson said he intends to do more than just give a
speech, however.

“We plan to do exercises to get people thinking
more about sexual violence," he said.

Ferguson also will be take his message to psycholo-

UK educator Gerald Smith has
faced the grueling pressures of ac-
ademic life and realizes the value
of research and hard work.

Now he has used that hard work
to his advantage by writing a book
based on research he did while
writing his doctoral thesis.

“It’s like your first child," the
history professor said about of his
book, “A Black Educator in the
Segregated South: Kentucky's Ru-
fus B. Atwood."

The book, which was released
Feb. 4, details the life of Atwood.
former president of Kentucky
State College. It also highlights
his ability to raise funds for the
college, known today as Kentucky
State University, and his ability to
guide the school during a difficult
period of racial segregation.

“Atwood proved to be a skilled
interracial diplomat," Smith said.

Smith also is working on an-
other book, to be called “The
Duty of the Hour: Memphis Mi-
gration and African-American

 

Lynchings, former KS U president
discussed in instructor ’s two books

Agency, 1862-1923." The book is
being co-written with Kenneth
Goings, a professor of black
American history at Florida Adan-
tic University.

“The books are two different
worlds," Smith said in a recent
presentation at the Martin Luther
King Jr. Cultural Center.

“The Duty of the Hour" deals
with the personal feelings people
had toward lynchings of blacks
and the overall structure of the
communities in Memphis, 'I‘enn.,
between 1862-1923.

The community of migrants was
the most important, Smith said,
but the town also had communi-
ties the two authors have termed
the “race“ and “accommodation"
communities. The race communi-
ty supported injustices of the
blacks, while the accommodation
community accepted the limited
rights given by whites.

“The purpose of the book was
to expose the feelings of the Afri—
can-Americans that were part of
this time period." Smith said. “We
just didn’t want another book just
about lynching."

Chlorine phase-out plan
has lobbyists out in force

 

By H. Josef Hebert
Associated Press

 

WASHINGTON — From vinyl
siding to shower curtains and from
toilet paper to water pipes, chlorine
is in thousands of products. So, it’s
no wonder industry lobbyists
sprang to life when the Clinton ad-
ministration began talking about
banning the chemical.

An intense lobbying war in recent
weeks has centered on Capitol Hill
where lawmakers are working to
overhaul a law that protects lakes
and streams from pollution, includ-
ing highly toxic releases of chlorine
compound byproducts.

The industry won an early battle
by keeping out of the legislation an
administration proposal that the
govemment develop a long-tenn
strategy to phase out the use of
chlorine in manufacturing and else-
where because of health concems.

There was no mention of chlorine
in the clean water bill that cleared
the Senate Environment and Public
Works Committee on Friday. But
several lawmakers, including Sen.
Howard Metzenbaum. D-Ohio,
were expected to resurrect the Clin—
ton proposal on the Senate floor.

Clinton administration plans to
re-examine chlorine “firmly estab-
Iished a chlorine phase-out as the
future direction" of US. environ-
mental policy, maintains Green-
peace lobbyist Rick Hind.

Environmentalists. especially
Greenpeace, have fought for years
to curtail chlorine use, especially in
the making of paper. where it is
blamed for contaminating water and

    

fish with cancer‘causing dioxin and
other toxins. They argue there are
substitutes readily available to
bleach paper.

Some chlorine byproducts — di-
oxins, PCBs, DDT and others — al-
ready have been banned or curtailed
because they are linked to cancer,
birth defects, neurological impair-
ment and reproductive problems.

But environmentalists argue that
these chemical byproducts cannot
be adequately controlled unless
chlorine as a chemical class is re-
placed. Last week a joint U.S.-
Canadian commission for the third
year agreed, saying the continuing
presence of chlorine-based toxic
chemicals in the Great Lakes poses
a serious health risk.

“Dealing with thousands of
chemicals individually has and
will continue to be a never-ending
quest," said the commission, pro-
posing that classes of “persistent
toxic chemicals“ be removed from
use.

EPA Administrator Carol Brown-
er proposed a detailed study into
chlorine’s health effects, followed
within three years by “a national

strategy for substituting. reducing,
or prohibiting the use of chlorine
and chlorinated compounds."

“It crune completely out of the
blue," says Fred Webher. president
of the Chemical Manufacturers As-
sociation. He promised a “full court
press“ against the (Tlinton proposal.

Suddenly lawmakers and report-
ers were bombarded with an ava-
lanche of information touting the
benefits of chlorine, and the eco-
nomic costs of phasing it out.

Chemical industry lobbyists cited
reports suggesting elimination of
chlorine could adversely affect a
$100 billion a year chunk of the
economy ranging from pharmaceu-
ticals to pesticides. and jeopardize
1.3 millionjobs.

Charles River Associates, a con-
suiting grorrp often used by indus-
try, issued a study concluding that
finding a substitute could Cost $67
billion in capital investment, take as
long as 20 yeru‘s and cost consu-
mers $91 billion a year.

The manufacturers of vinyl ac-
cused the liI’A of “declaring war on
modern society" by challenging
chlorine.

Adviser lays out
Iran, Iraq plan

 

By Carl Hartman
Associated Press

 

WASIIIN(,‘r'I‘()N ~ President
Clinton's national security adviser,
Anthony Lake, has laid out a plan
for “dual containment" of Iraq and
Iran and their hostility to the United
States.

He calls them both “outlaw" and
“backlash" states. along with Cuba,
North Korea and Libya.

But Lake makes a difference be—
tween Saddrun llussein's Iraq and
the fundamentalist Muslim govem-
ment of Irart in an article appearing
Monday in the quarterly “Foreign
Affairs.“ He says the Clinton ad-
ministration suppons Iraqi exiles,
who want to overthrow Saddam.
With Irzut. he foresees the possibili-
ty of better relations.

“In Iraq, the regime is responsi-
ble for both war crimes and crimes
against humanity, a regime whose
invasion of Kuwait and gassing of
its own people have rendered it an
intemational renegade." Lake
wrote.

Ile also condemns “outlaw be—
havior" by Iran, saying it “is the
foremost sponsor of terrorism and
assassination worldwide." But he

added:

"We remain ready for an authori-
tative dialogue in which we will
raise aspects of Iranian behavior
that cause us so much concem...

“The (‘linton administration is
not confronting a blatantly aggres-
sive state that invaded and occu-
pied a weaker neighbor."

Lake lays out different ways of
dealing with Iran turd Iraq.

In a swipe at fomter Presidents
Reagan and Bush, he recalled that
they tried to build up “moderates"
in Iran.

“Th
