ESTABLISHED 1894

Process includes
$41 million
city bond issue

By Stephen Trlmble

Executive Faiimr

The Lexington-Fayette Urban
County Council members unani-
mously endorsed yesterday UK’s
complicated plan to pay for —
and ﬁnally build — the $58 mil-
lion Central and Life Sciences
Library.

It is the next-to-last step for
UK to be in construction on the
project. K must ask the council
in October to issue $41 million
worth of bonds to complete the

four- ear fund-raising
UK resident Charles
ton said.

“I am deli hted by the coun-
cil’s vote,” ethington said just
gutside council chambers yester-

ay.

Wethin ton said UK chose to
pay for e library internally

ecause the UniverSity could not
afford to wait two years until the
next regular session of the Gener-
al Assembly in 1996.

A dela of two years would cost
$3.5 to $4 million in inﬂation,
Wethington said. The added cost
would force designers to cut
“sorel needed” 5 ace from the
new lihra , he sai .

Also, K has a commitment to
some 13,000 donors who con-
tributed more than $21 million to
the project, Wethington said.

students and faculty at UK
“deserve a better libra " than the
M. I. King Library bui dings now
on campus, Wethington said.

The endorsement means UK
ofﬁcials can present the ﬁnancial
plan to the UK Alumni Associa-
tion and the UK Athletics Associ-
ation, which are planned to be the
two key contributors.

According to UK’s proposal,
the non- roﬁt alumni group will
ask for t e bond issue from the
urban-coun government in
October. T e pa ment for the
bond will be $3 mi lion each year,
said Spence Harper, who
desi ned the funding plan.

E owever, the alumni group

does not have the resources to
make the payments, Harper said.
So UK athletics will contribute $3
million each year to pay off the
debt, he said.

C.M. Newton, UK’s athletic
director, appeared at the council
meeting yesterday and said the
contribution will not interfere
with any athletics pro rams.

The athletic cup 5 funds will
come from the 3 million it con-
tributes yearly to UK’s general
fund, Wethington said. LK will
simply divert that money to the
library, he said.

“Clearly, the athletic associa-
tion could not take this kind of hit
without some ad'ustment to its

said. He said e couldn’t reliase

Since 1909, UK has thrice received the blessing of
state lawmakers to build a new library, and twice has
been left holding the bill.

Both UK’s new proposed library and the ori inal
Margaret 1. King Library were approved by the en-
tucky legislature — the former in 1992, the latter in
1931 — and eventuall both ended with UK paying
for it all, said Paul Wil is, director of libraries.

King library’s $450,000 price tag gagged legisla-
tors’ su port as the Great DepreSSion eru ted in
1932, which forced the University to pay for t e con—
struction alone, Willis said.

State historian Thomas Clark, now 90 years old,
was a history professor at UK during the turmoil. He
said yesterday the construction was especially memo—
rable for him.

“I helped pa for it out of my salary,” he said after
UK President harles Wethin on’s press brieﬁng in
the Administration Building’s ld Board Room.

Clark said he remembered why the University
needed a new library. The campus and its enrollment
had rown. Its mission had increased.

e remembered when then-UK President Frank
McVey fou ht for the le islature’s approval until
1931, when anmakers plethed their support.

He remembered when McVey fou ht unsuccess-
fully again after 1932 when legislators alked.

McVe was a very ood president,” Clark said.
“He saw t e library as geing the very heartthrob of
the University.”

However, the state budget -— in the 1930s and the
1990s — couldn’t keep up with UK’s ulse.

In fact, the only time in UK’s istory when it
didn’t have to pay for its own library was in 1909

MANILA, Philippines —— An explosion in the

Philippines’ largest under round coal mine left at
least 79 workers dead and 0 missing, ofﬁcials said
yesterda .
The Monda night blast, in a tunnel about 500
miles south of anila, was the second at the mine
in the past six months. An explosion there in
March killed 11.

One ofﬁcial said miners hit a pocket of methane
gas that exploded, but a local mayor said the acci-

Co. mine, which is near Malangas in a remote area
with poor communications.

china ready to resume rights talks

BEIJING — China yesterday told Commerce
Secreta Ronald Brown it was ready to resume
talks with the United States on the sensitive to ic

The decision seemed intended to reward Brown
for pushing President Clinton to sever the link
between trade and China’s human rights practices.

Brown, leading an entourage of two dozen
American business executives, is the ﬁrst Cabinet
member to visit China since Clinton decided in
May not to make the annual renewal of China’s
most-favored nation trade status contingent on
improvements in its human rights practices.

University unveils
new library proposal

Wethington said despite the
proposed bond issues, the Univer-
sity will continue to lobby law-

makers for state support.

However, he stopped short of
calling UK’s lan to pay for the
library a call tar ﬁnancial support
to the state legislature.

“We’re not doing this to send a
messa e,” be said.

“ e’re doing this because we
need a library.”

cussing the new proposal at
length, four members were dis-

these times should be referred to
an emergency room.

A learning process accompanies
any new system, and UHS has had
to make adjustments involving the
UK identiﬁcation card. In the
past, students carried yellow UHS
cards that had their record num-
bers on them. Now, the ID cards
are electronically scanned and the
student's information appears on
the computer screen.

“One of the things we found
out real quickly is that one com—
puter screen u front isn’t going
to do it,” said urner.

He added that they literally ran
out and purchased additional com-
puters to quicken the reception
process.

A quick assessment of the
a pointment system reveals that
t ings are running well. Lance
Churchill, UHS associate admin—
istrator, estimates that on a typical
Monday afternoon last semester
up to 60 students could be found
in the waiting room. Only two stu—
dents occupied the room this
Monday afternoon.

“It’s probably better that there
is an appointment system. It’s less
crowded,” said communications
sophomore Jennifer Crowe.
