Task force on campus safety organizes

By SAILAJA MALI-IMPATI
Staff Writer

The newly organized Spet'ial Task
Force on (‘ampus Safety may be the
first step to a safer. more carefree
campus for [‘K students

The organization was started by
Tim Freudenberg. Student Govern
ment Association president “The
idea came to me when i talked to a
number of students and administra-
tors after the mtirder this summer. '
he said. refering to the murder of
chemistry graduate student. Lin
jung Chen

The task force was started tn
hopes of developing and recoma
mending "practical means by which
to solve safety problems." Freuden-
berg said. “The committee will have
no administrative authority It‘s a
fact~finding committee "

“Our scope is not to make
changes. just to find proper solu
tions and advise the Public Safety

DiviSion." said John Cain. senior
\‘ice-preSident of SGA and cochair-
person of the task force

The task force consists of mem-
bers from a Wide vanety of fields oti
campus “l appointed students and
administrators representing differ-
ent interests because we‘re trying to
reach as many people as possible.”
Freudenberg said

There are eight students on the
task force including a student who
attends classes only in the evening.
a student majoring in art and a rep-
resentative from greek actiy'ities.
Three faculty members also were
appomted by Freudenberg to “seek
their input as experts in their
fields."

dents. Robert Figg. assistant dean

Tomorrow is the last day for stu-
dents to exercise the repeat option
this semester by notifying in wnting
the dean of their college and their
adviser.

According to Charles Ellinger.
academic ombudsman. all students
must abide by this rule because
them will be no extension of the
deadline.

“The rule was changed in a lim-
versity Senate meeting on Feb. 14.

1983 that it would be effective the.
summer of 1983.“ he said.

However. the rule has not been in.
cluded in all student publications
until this date. Ellinger said. “We
(the Academic Ombudsman's office)
have asked for extensions to the of-
fice three times: in the fall of 1%3.
and in the spring and summer 1984
from deans of colleges who have
been graciom enough to do so. "

These extensions were necessary
because the rule was not included in
all student publications in time. he
said.

member as a representative of the
Public Safety Division.

The committee plans to hold a se-
ries of public hearings to which ev-
eryone is welcome. Cain said. “I
would like a lot of people to come to
the hearings, But it‘s hard to tell
how many students will take an in-
terest,“ he said. “I think the murder
and campus safety is still unknown
because it happened this summer. A
lot of people still don't know about
it."

“i would like the committee to
compile as much data as possible
from as many people as possible
and transfer a written report to
Chancellor (for the Lexington cam-
pus Artt Gallagher." F‘reudenberg
said

“in the past. the issue of campus
safety was much too political. We're
now trying to get politics out of a
very important issue," he said. “We
want to know how they (the stu-
dents) feel. what exactly worries

them. We want specific danger
areas. When you‘re in an office you
get out of touch with what is really
happening out there."

“Each individual person has dif-
ferent ideas of campus safety." Cain
said “Our goal is to collect the opin-
ions of the people. the popular and
even not so popular ones. and add
our opinions to them. Hopefully we
will come up with solutions for nec—
essary changes to improve safety on
the campus.“

The committee will not have a
budget since it has no authority to
actually make changes. They will.
however. make recommendations to
the chairperson of the Public Safety
Division.

The first meeting will be this week
to discuss goals and organizational
tactics. Other meetings. which are
open to the public. will be an-
nounced in the Kentucky Kernel.

exercise repeat option

Ellinger also said the student
must sign up for the repeat option
three weeks following the first day
of classes. which corresponds with
the last day to drop classes without
a grade appearing on the transcript.
“All they have to do is become ac-
customed to the fact that three im—
portant things happen on the same
date." he said.

“Up to this rule being passed. it
has been up to the individual col»
leges." Ellinger said.

“There was no consistency to the
thing.“ Ellinger said.

Ellinger. in his report to the Uni-
versity Senate Monday. said. “There
is much misconception about the
rule itself. Students and faculty
must be aware that the first grade
does remain on the transcript with a
letter ‘R' beside the course "

Ellinger also said. "the letter
grade that is received on the second
completion is the grade of record
and is used for academic standing
and credit. I am told. however. that
most professional and graduate col-
leges do use both grades in their
evaluation process."

Beer blast

prompts

stricter enforcement

By TIM JOHNSON
Reporter

The first attempt to enforce a
long-ignored University rule about
fraternity beer blasts Friday night
met with results “that were not suit-
able." according to Dean of Students
Joseph Burch.

The rule. which states that no one
under 21 years of age can serve or
be served alcoholic beverages at the
parties. has been an official policy
for several years. Burch said. but it
has not been enforced.

However. all fraternities agreed
last week to have their members
check the identification of students
atthebeer blasts.

But Friday’s annual Road Rally
Beer Blast at Kappa Sigma fraterni-
ty did not live up to administrators‘
expectations. Burch said.

Although Burch refused to com-
ment on any particular infractions
at the party. one fraternity member
who attended said many underage
people were “sliding on through“
without showing IDs.

David Cronan. social chairman of
Delta Tau Delta fraternity. said
rainy weather Friday induced the
wet crowd to “start throwing beer
on each other." Members of Kappa
Sig refused to comment on Friday's
event.

Representatives of Kappa Sig and

Alpha Delta Pi sorority. which co
sponsored the event. met yesterday
with representatives of the Dean of
Students office “to see what safe-
guards could be set to have a lawful
beer blast.“ Burch said.

Doug Hunter. president of Kappa
Sig, attended the meeting. He said
he expected the dean of students of
fice to evaluate the beer blast situa-
tion.

Hunter said such an evaluation
was ”sure to have an effect on fu-
ture beer blasts . "

But Burch said there were no
plans for making evaluations "i do
not know what the future holds. ' he
said. Burch did say. however. that
the regulation against underage
drinking would be enforced in the fu~
ture.

“We are tired of overlooking this
rule.“ he said. "The campus cannot
overlook this rule.

“We have been talking about this
rule for years and there hasn't been
very strong endorsement of this
nile."he added.

Burch said that the situation Will
change. however

”in the future. the students Will be
responsible for what occurs. and I
mean it in every sense of the word."
he said. “Organizations will be
asked to approve functions such as
these beforehand “

Student group brings
alumni, students closer

By MELISSA BELL
Reporter

They felt out of touch.

The UK National Alumni Associa»
tion felt they were losing touch with
the University and its students. so it
organized the Student Alumni Coun-
cil.

Susan Van Buren. a marketing sev
nior and student intern in charge of
the Student Alumni Council said.
“The Alumni‘s wanted to strengthen
communication between this house
(the Alumni Homer that sits on the
corner of Rose and Euclid and the
campus.

“People think you have to be an
alumni.“ Van Buren said. But all
undergraduate students enrolled
full-time at UK. with a minimum 2.0
grade point average are eligible for
membership.

Although its members are not
alumni. the group relies on them for
support. “i guess you could say
we‘re their sons and daughters.
We‘re their children." Van Buren
said.

“They want to get students to put
in their minds what the Alumni As-
sociation is as an undergraduate."
Van Buren said. “Because if you are
aware of the Alumni Association as
a junior or a senior the chances are
more probable of you stepping into
the Alumni Association after you
graduate.“ she said.

Bob Whitaker. associate director
and adviser for the council said. ”i
think it‘s important that students re-
ceive experience from the National
Alumni Association. its programs.
goals and etc.

"I think it definitely will be an
avenue where alumni and students
can come in contact with each other
and each will benefit from it." Whi-
taker said.

The student group is planning a
reception prior to the Homecoming
game Oct. 6 cospomored with the
Student Activities Homecoming
Committee where alumni and stu-
dents can meet.

“We‘re saying. students meet your

Other plats for the year are unita-

alumni and get the organization off

This is not the Student Alumni
Council‘s first attempt at organiz-
ing. In 1976 they made their first
debut at UK but poor leadership
caused the organization to dissolve

However. Van Buren said things
are different now. ”The Alumni As-

mitted.“ she said.

“It will be successful if the council
can generate projects that are
needed on campus both for the stu-
dents and the alumni." Whitaker
said.

lf hard work and lots of sweat add
up to victories. the ['K men‘s bas-
ketball squad just may go unde-
feated this upcoming season

The UK basketball team has been
laboring for the past few weeks in
the famous «or infamoust preseason
conditioning program that is de-
signed to get the Cats ready for the
upcoming season. According to ju-
nior guard Roger Harden. this
year's program may be the toughest
ever

“This year. we are lifting a lot of
heayy weights and running a lot
more 220's (20-yard dashesu proba-
bly more 2205 than ever before."
Harden said."We are working on
more flexibility as well. [ think this
year is the toughest preseason con»
ditioning program ever held here."

The reason for having the tough
training program this season may
be two-fold. First off. with the Wild»
cats not possessing the big man in
the middle as in years past. an up»
tempo game may be in order. The
other reason may be a gutcheck sit—
uation by the coaching staff in order
to see what the players are made of.
according to Harden.

"Because of the lack of experience
in our team this year. I think the
coaches are looking for strong atti-
tudes to make it through the weight
training." Harden said. "They may
want to see who wants to pay the
price to win this year "

Things are not gomg to slow down

busy schedule. Starting next Mon-

That one word sums up the play of
UK‘s Ultimate stee team last
Saturday at the Flying Circus lnvi-
tational held behind the Shively
Sports Complex on the UK campus.

With only two of the expected five
teams showing up for the invitatio-
nal. UK was forced to play the even-
tual winners. a team from Cincin-
nati, Ohio twice.

UK lost both games by scores of
13-10. and 13-11.

UK also lost to a team from Oak
ridge. Tenn. 13-11 to finish up the
tournament.

Coming off of a strong win against
Kent State two weeks ago. UK's
strategy was to let the unseasoned
members of the club see some play-
ing time.

“We tried to get everyone in-

Thursday workouts to their sched-
ules. with workouts now being held
on Mondays. Wednesdays and fii-

Leonard Johnson. team member.
”Also we tried to reward people
with playing time if they attended
the practices."

Coach and founding member Lon-
nie Roland said the invitational was
just a stepping stone to the section-
als. which will be held Oct. 13 and
14. UK will compete with 12 other
central region teams.

“We may not have. a good win-loss
record in matches this year. but
when it comes to the sectionals.
we‘ll be ready." Roland said.

This weekend. UK heads north to
Miami of Ohio University. where the
club will take on teams from India-
na. Ohio and Illinois.

Johnson said his team is trying to
get in shape for the upcoming sec-
tionals and regionals.

“The regionals will be pretty com-
petitive and right now we‘re trying

to practice a lot and get in shape."
he said.

Recently UK received a bid to
host the regional tournament to be
held Nov. 3 and 4 at the Kentucky
Horse Park. There will be 16 teams
coming as far away as South Dakota
competing in the tournament

Johnson said that new members
are welcome to join the team at any
time and having a master skill of
throwing the disc is not required.

”Most people think that it's the
kind of game that they can‘t play.”
Johnson said. “It‘s not just a throw-
ing game. that‘s only seveneighths
of the game. We need people who
can catch and play defense too."

Students can have a voice in how
their colleges conduct business, but
whether that happens remains to be
seen.

Student Advisory Councils are on
campts. some in their first or sec
ond year of existence Created to
give students direct input into aca-
demic decisions within colleges. the
councils don't seem to be transmit~
ting input to Univerisity administra-
tors.

"How can we represent the stu-
dents if the students don't tell us
what to do?" said Jeff Anderson,
acting president of the College of
Arts & Sciences Student Advisory
Council.

Anderson said that the council has
to form policy on “sort of a gut feel~
ing." talking over the issues with

faculty members, and in council dis-
cussions.

While the students of the College
express an apparent indifference to
the council's activities. the group
has to make decisions on such im-
portant issues as last year’s chemis-
try grade problem in CHE 106 and
107.

“ASSAC (Arts & Sciences Student
Advisory Council) was involved in
the investigation of the problem."
said John Christopher. the assistant
dean of the Arts & Sciences and the
council's faculty adviser. But an
open forum held on the problem, to
which all interested students were
urged to come. attracted about 10
students, Anderson said. There are
more than 5.750 student enrolled in
the college. he said.

The very existence of the councils
is also affected by student apathy.
Donald Sands. vice chancellor for

academic affairs. said that while

“every college is supposed to" have

a council, some colleges, after grad-
uationg members leave. must wait

for another group of interested stu-

dents to come along to create anoth-
er . 'ie.

Tnis was apparently the case for
Arts at Sciences. For 10 years. from
1973 to 1&3. the college had no stu-
dent representation group.

“My assumption is that there
wasn't student interest." said Mi-
chael Baer. dean of the college.
Baer took office in 1981. and he said
that his office looked into regrouping
the council. The group finally came
together last year.

This is also the second year for
the College of Business & Economics
Council. The group was organized
last year and this year. Chip Snive-
ly. president of the council. says he

‘Buddy system’ helps students
learn Honors Program ropes

By scorr WARD
Staff Writer

Students entering the honors pro—
gram this year will get a taste of
what it is like to go to a small liber-
al arts college, said Lisa Catron. co
chairperson of the honors program
student advisory committee
(HPSAC).

This year HPSAC instituted a
“buddy system" where incoming
students in the Honors Program are
paired with someone who is already
in the program.

Lisa Catron said the purpose of
this “was basically just to offer in-
coming freshmen the type of atmo—
sphere they would have at a small
liberal arts college “

This is achieved by offering them
a contact in the program. "someone
there to help them specifically” as
is done in many smaller and private
colleges and universities. she said.

Buddies were paired by gin’ng
members of the honors program ap-
plications to fill out that included
questions about their major. inter-
ests and hobbies, Incoming students
who were interested in getting a
buddy were mailed identical appli-
cations. and students were paired on
the basis of their requests whenever
possible.

Lisa Catron said the response to
the buddy program was good both

among the incoming freshmen and

begin its first year with activities
that will deal with Jewish affairs
both here at the University and
worldwide.

Ken Germain. a law professor and
the association‘s president. said that
initially the group would like to cre-

ate additional membership. ”We‘d
like to five our group, a small mi-
nority in the University. the chance
to share common interests. both pro-
fessional and religiom. "

According to its constitution. the
purpose of the association is to pro-
mote a positive identification of the
University community with Juda-
ism, Israel and with the Jewish
community. and to support a similar
identification on the part of Univer-

situations that threaten Jewish life

the problem of academic discrimi-

“We‘d like to be able to provide
both political and emotional support
in the form of letters to both the So-
viet government and the Soviet Jews
who are academically discriminated
by their choice of religion or wish to
leave the Soviet Union.“ Germain
said.

The association's first event. co-
sponsored by Hillel. a student Jew-
ish organization. will be a lecture by
Professor Michael A. Meyer of He-
brew Union College.

Meyer. the author of “Origins of
the Modern Jew" and “Ideas of

active force in the college.

Snively said that the council is
being patterned after the Arts 5. Sci-

achieve “more adequate representa-

“We represent the second largest
college on campus.“ Snively said.
He added that the council is “so
weak. at the moment" because
many business students just don‘t
realize that the council exists.

The Business Council. according
to Snively, is comprised of represen-
tatives of several organizations
within the college. He said that the
council will serve as “a central or-

Student councils can ‘voice’ college concerns

“probably have a little more pull"
with administrative decisions.

Not all student councils. however,
are still in an organizational stage.
The College of Agriculture‘s Council
has been active for several years.
according to Jay Hellman. president
of the youp. He said that the coun-
cil “acts as a link to the students
and clubs.“

Hellman said that the council took
action on a parking problem at the
agriculture college last year. He
also mentioned the group's partici-
pation in fund-raising activities for
the United Way. A facultycouncil
meeting was also held last year.
