University’s history

By 11" WIESENHAHN
Sports Editor

In the 1960s many college stu-
dents were hippies and flower chil-
dren. They slipped into “Love-Ins"
or “Sit-Ins." Some sought refuge
from a decade of civil unrest and
war. Others sought fun.

But as another decade unfolded,
the unrest quelled and the war end-
ed. Many students could no longer
sustain their fervor or their folly.
For most, the struggle was ending.
For others. however, the provoca-
tion of racism would continue. It
simply would not expire.

In 1967 Bill Turner was a black
sociology senior at UK. He was an
emerging campus activist. While
the decade and much of the unrest
died out, Turner's race remained
trapped by the realities of institu-
tionalized discrimination and ine-
quality. On April 12 of that year
Turner, president of the Campus
Committee on Human Rights, along
with the Student Center Forum
Committee, asked for a “dialogue”
on social change — a dialogue to
discuss the “the Negro and his place
atUK.”

nae grammars

STILL SEPARATE

First in a three-part uriu.

Through the years at UK, many
of the complaints raised would be
heard again and again.

Turner held his “Bitch-In" on the
Student Center patio. He wanted to
discuss UK‘s failure to actively re-
cruit black athletes. students and fa-
culty members. He also wanted to
discuss the verbal abuse by land-
lords directed at black students He
wanted to discuss what he said was
the failure of faculty members to
recognize black students in class, as
well as the tendency of some facul-
ty to speak degradingly of blacks
during lectures.

But Tumer‘s discussions were
not vengeful. They were always

aired with a free-flowing and un-
controlled spirit. For nearly three
hours about 2,000 students gave life
to the most stimulating intellectual
experience on campus. A “Bitch—
In.”

“The things I have to say are not
a great speech," Turner said that
day. “They are things I have known
since the day I was big enough to
know the color of my skin would
make a difference. We don't need
sympathy, we want conversation.
Let us hear what you'll have to say
about us and we‘ll tell you what we
have to say.”

Turner said the “Bitch In" was
held so students could air their
“feeling about the Negro." What
emerged was a series of personal
testimonies. Students walked to the
microphone on the patio's east end
and surrendered their feelings,
Some were sympathetic to Tumer's
cause. others antagonized him and
incited arguments. But, from the be-
ginning, that was what Tumer want-
ed.

In his opening remarks. Turner
stopped and pointed to a Confeder-

Construction rattles teeth, buildings

By PAUL KELLY
Contributing Writer

Earth shaking explosions and
wall rattling drilling have many stu-
dents and faculty concerned about
their safety on campus.

The blasting began January 10 to
clear lots for a new Civil Engineer-
ing Building and the Advanced Sci-
ence and Technology Commerciali-
zation Center.

The site for the new structures is
located behind McVey Hall and the
Enoch Grehan Journalism Building,
near Anderson Hall.

David Moore. UK‘s construction
coordinator for the project, said the
blasting probably won‘t end until
mid- to late March.

In the meantime, contractors will
be monitoring the blasting from
five locations around campus to en-
sure that existing buildings aren’t
damaged.

“We are following federal guide-
lines and we are staying well within
those guidelines," said Ken Clevi-
dence, director of procurement and
consu'uction at UK.

“I know people in the buildings
are feeling it. We're sympathetic
but we don't know any other way to
do it," Clevidence said.

Vicky Banks, a secretary in UK's
language laboratory. said one stu-
dent thought the blasting had hit
seismographic proportions.

“One foreign student came in and
asked me if we were having an
earthquake." Banks said. “It fright-
ened him."

Clevidence said there is not much
that can be done to control the noise

Effects of election referendum
questioned by former president

By JOE BRAUN
Assistant Editorial Editor

Two days before a scheduled
election reform referendum, former
Student Govemment Association
presvrient Cyndi Weaver asked the
Judiciil Board to clarify whether a
referendum carries the weight of
law.

Weaver said she waan the board
to clarify “whether having a rele»
rcndum has the effect of amending
the constitution or whether it's
more advisory in nature," she said.

Judicial Board Chief Justice Ken
Walker said the board will meet to-
night to discuss the matter. Because
voting begins Wednesday, Walker
said the board may try to get the
ruling out tonight.

Weaver said she went to the
board because of confusion sur-
rounding what thc effects of this

week‘s relerendum would be on
the regular elecuons next month.

“I think it needs to be cleared up
before we go to the trouble,"

Weaver said senators and SGA
President Scott (‘rosbie have differ-
ent ideas about the function of a
re fe rc ndu iii.

“1 read in the paper a lot of sena-
tors and ((‘rosbici talking with the
assumption that this will hate the
same effect as if the senate had
passed a hill, and I think that's a
wrong assumption," she said.

Weaver said she's concemed
about Crosbie‘s seeking a referen-
dum outside the regular elections.

The vote Wednesday and Thurs-
day concerns a number of election
reforms, including removing a can-
didate's spending limit for the elec-
tion.

Weaver said she also is con-
cerned about lumping the various

points together \ersus.

Because of these reasons, she
said she doesn't think senators
should “feel as bound by the results

as they should if tCrosbiei
would he more compromising
about how (the referendum is) put
together." she said.

it the board declares the referen-
dum results as law. the proposed
L‘lt‘t'llt‘t‘. reforms would apply to the
the -\pril elcttiwns it the board de-
ttdts thc results are not la“. the
senate could choose to adopt.

In the second scenario, the elec-
tion reform could not affect the
1992 spring elections.

The SGA By-laws state that earn-
paign rules must be approved by
the SGA senate and be presented to
the student body at least four weeks
before elections - which means
that 1992 spring election mics must
be approved this week.

Female UK student assaulted near Cooperstown Apts.

By KYLE FOSTER
News Editor

A UK student was mugged Thurs-
day night in the Clifton Circle area
near Woodland Avenue.

“A guy jumped from behind a
tree and threw me down. I didn’t
get raped luckily,” education junior
Susan Almgren said.

Almgren said she was attacked at
about 7:30 as she was walking from
a class in the Chemistry-Physics
Building to her home in Coopers-
town Apartments. off Woodland.

She said a titan jumped out from
behind a tree and grabbed her. “He

was calling me names and threw
me down in the mud.“

The assaulter, who was described
as wearing a red baseball hat, jeans
and a black baseball jacket. then
tore Almgren‘s jacket off and went
through her pockets. she said.

“I didn’t see his face. I glanced at
the side of it, but I don‘t remember
any distinct characteristics. I
know he was white because he kept
cramming his fist in my mouth to
shut me up. I don't know why
he let me go. Maybe he heard
someone," she said.

Almgren said she was told to run
straight and not to turn around or

stop —— or the man would shoot her.

“I ran home screaming and yell-
ing the whole way and no one
helped me. I ran across Woodland
Avenue in socks. My shoes came
off when l was running. I heard a
car hook. I probably could have
been hit.“

Almgren said that she usually
wouldn‘t walk alone. but she didn't
want her husband to have to wake
their sleeping son. “I thought it was
OK," she said.

She said her husband heard her
screaming as she ran through the
parking lot near their aparunent.

“l was really beat up. and he

thought I had been raped. but I
wasn't. My knee is really scraped
where he shoved me in the mud.“ .

Almgren's husband called 911
immediately and patrolman Dan
Edge arrived at the scene along
with an ambulance. Edge said Alm-
gren was examined. but refused
treatment for her minor injuries.

“It was just a typical mugging."
Edge said. “She was pretty upset.
She‘d been knocked down and
hurt."

Almgren's main concern was not
for herself. She said she lost a note-
book with notes from a Kentucky
history class during the struggle.

A resume-writing workshop will be held
at 3:30 pm. in 201 Clarence Wentworth

Mathews Building.

The police took her back to the
scene of the attack to let her look
for her belongings. Her jacket was
there, but not the notebook.

“I‘m really worried that he took
my notebook — It has my name and
number on it. I just feel really
threatened if he has my notebook."

“Maybe someone saw (the as-
sault) going on and was just afraid
to get involved. Maybe someone
picked up my notebook. That is
just really valuable to me. Next
week is midtenns. and I’m really
upset over this. “

UK police also got involved.
Almgren said a UK police unit

showed up after the Lexington po-
lice, however they did not file a re-
port because both departments have
policies that allow only one report
per incident. The UK patrolmen did
question Almgren.

"We would not investigate the
case because it is not our case. If
there were a rash of reports or we
had one ourselves, we would inves-
tigate," said UK Police Captain Ben
Anderson.

Anderson said that surveillance
around the Clifton Circle area will
not be increased because of last
week‘s incident. “We can only have
regular patrol like always." he said.
