Officials atlilrcss campus attack ‘rumors'

By Ellen Lord

and Mal Herron
Campux Editor

One reported rape and one inci-
dent ofassault have been reported
to UK campus police, said Joseph
Burch, vice president for Universiv
ty Relations, in an official state—
ment yesterday afternoon.

“On Nov. 1, University police
were informed that a student
claimed that she had been raped,"
Burch said.

The original report to UK
police came frotii an outside

source whom Burch would not
reveal. lt stated that the rape
“occurred outside the residents
halls, in a residential area on the
south side of campus." Burch said.
“The UK police continue to
investigate this alleged incident."

The assault incident was
reported on Oct. 9 to the L'niver-
sity' police. The female victim
“was knocked down, btit was itot
injured," Burch said. The [K
Police had not confirmed or
denied sexual involvement and are
still investigating. he said.

Dean of Students David Stock—
hatti met with student leaders in
his office yesterday to help eliiiii—

itate fears that multiple assaults
have or are occurring. But student
government officials remain
unsatisfied with the .idtiiinistra-
tion's response time.

"Students have to be up in arms
for something to get done." said
Melanie (.‘ruI. president of the
Student (iovernment \ssociation.
“This is .t flashback to the attack."
said (Irul. referring to 'lianya
Marie Cole. an black student who
was attacked in NW).

Some who attended the meet—
ing with Stockhaiii said he was
straightforward on the issue.

“I believe he tries to answer any
questions the students have." said

\\'hitney llale. a public policv
adiitinistration graduate student.
“I'm a little concerned he‘s not
getting information."

The Dean of Students Office
gets faxes regularly frolli campus
altd city police. but he said no law
exists that stipulates “everything
had that happens to students
should be reported" to them.

University's collection ‘SIIEClal'

Newer, foster stein for finding
boo/es it port 0 new library plan

By Michael Overman
Smﬂ’ll 'rirer

After a series of weather delays,
the “CT. Young Library is sched—
uled to openJan. 2.

Paul \Villis. director of
libraries. said. “There is some
hope ofopening it in January. But
that is on the condition that we
get the hook collection moved by
then.

“\Ve can’t run the risk of
beginning to move the collection
over the winter break, and then
having to stop because the
semester had begun. In light of
that possible fact. we might have
a phased opening; such that the
library would open as soon as the
computers are ready; in which
CK“: we would have to move the
canection after the spring

‘7.

semester.“

But will this new library he that
much better than the old one? For
$58 million, it ought to be at least
functioning with .state-ol—the—art
equipment.

Not to worry.

“Each study table will have
Internet connections and electri—
cal outlets for 50 percent of its
seats," \\'il|i.s said.

“The basement level will con-
tain a computer lab with 180 new
terminals instead of having
books on 17 total levels. as in the
old library, the \\'.'l‘. Young
library will contain all of the
books on two levels (the fourth
and the fifth). \\'hilc the over-
sized books will be on level three
with the reference books and
periodicals on level two."

Being able to discern on which

level to look for books in the
library and then actually being
able to find those books is a com—
mon concern among some stu-
dents at L'K.

“I did have to find some books
on the fourth or fifth floor (at M.l.
King). lt was difficult. as it took
me twenty to thirty minutes to
find just a few books." said finance
junior Bijan Salehi.

And coiilputer science fresh-
man l’ete llarding couldn’t even
find the books for which he was
looking.

“ The books that they said
were there. weren‘t there. .-\nd.
they were new books as well. All
that was left were old books; and

hooks frottt the 1940s just don't

:\nd Assistant Department (lir-
culation llead Bob Saffell agreed
with this cotiiiiion complaint

Two weeks after (Iircle of lmani
traveled to the Million \Voinan March
in Philadelphia on the assumption that
part of their trip would be unded by
Student Government Association. the
grow is broke and an ry.

5 9A President .‘vfe anie Cruz last
Wednesday vetoed the bill that allocat—
ed 5750 to (Iircle of lmani. \thn SGA
initially voted on the issue. they had
reached a tie, which was broken by Vice

President Alizha Rice.

“SGA is su osed to act in ood
faith." (Iircle oiplitiani Treasurer \ 'allis
Malone said. “It's up to them to decide
what to fund. But l have a problem
when you let somebody do something
thinking that you're going to pay for it,
then you veto it."

In her ofﬁcial decision. Cruz cited
two reasons for her decision: The trip
involved only l4 students and the Mil-
lion VVotnan March was exclusive in
nature.

“This veto is not to express or im ly
that l disap rove of the event itself,"
she wrote. “i 1y job as president is to
ensure that allocation of student money
is done in such a manner as to benefit
the campus community as a whole."

Malone said her group will appeal
(Iruz's decision in S( iA Supreme (Iourt.
They are consulting legal counsel to see
what other options might be available.

In other news this week. SCA is
involved in the distribution of the new
campus phone directories. (Iruz said

students living on campus can pick up
ihone books at their residence halls.
l’aculry and students living off campus
can pick theirs up at the SGA office.
Another big project SGA is working
on this week is the rc~invention of the
Student Organization .>\ssembly. an
assembly for campus organizational
leaders. The assembly will now be
known as the Student Unity liorttm.
"\Ve want to et impact frolit catn-
pus organization feadcrs,” (Irtiz said.
