Plan: less parking, more dorms

A different campus: Master plan would increase
housing, decrease parking and create green ways

By Tracy Kershaw

EDIIOR lN CHIU

Imagine cash rewards
for biking to campus. dorms
surrounding the library and
green ways traversing
campus.

By 2020. it could be a re-
ality.

Increasing housing. de-

creasing the demand for
parking and creating green
ways are among the aims of
a master plan that would
give the campus a facelift by
the year 2020.

The plan‘s masterminds

architects and planners
from Ayers. Saint. Gross. a
firm based in Baltimore.
Md. are on campus this

week presenting the plan to
faculty. staff. students and
administrators

The master plan. which
the Board of Trustees will
vote upon in October or No-
vember. would create several
centers of activity on cam-
pus. each bringing housing.
academics and student recre-
ation closer together:

The consultants based
the plan on three principles:
creating academic communi-
ties. creating a sustainable

growth pattern and creating
connections to the city.

They are. involved with
the college-town project.
which would create a retail
corridor on South Limestone
and a residential corridor on
Martin Luther King Boule-
vard, linking UK and down-
town Lexington. The college-
town plan fits into the mas-
ter plan. said Ayers. Saint,
Gross associate Mike Glaros.

The master plan ac«
counts for a projected 39 per

cent increase in campus pop-
ulation by 2020. Glaros said.

Increasing housing is a
priority. Glaros said.

New housing would be
spread across campus —
with possible sites ranging
from replacing Greg Page
Apartments with higher den-
sity. longerlasting campus
housing and to building
dorms on current parking
lots at Memorial Coliseum
and behind the Funkhouser

Building. See PLAN 3

Seetbeplanyeu'sell

Students are invited to hear a
presentation of the proposed

campus master plan; 3 pm.
today at Worsham Theater in

the Student Center.

The Board of Tmstees will view
the plan, which would be im-
plemented over the next 20
years. at its October or
November meeting.

Some say water
ownership will
decide election

Sale: Group rallies at Young for city ownership

B_y_ Steve _lv_ey
STAF—F WRITER

Political candidates and community members con-
vened Wednesday night at the William T. Young Library
auditorium to show support for a government purchase of
Kentucky American Water Company and oppose a sale to
RWE. a German utilities conglomerate.

Brian Privett of Lexington Greens. a group formed to
support local environmental and social justice issues. or-
ganized the meeting.

“(The sale of Kentucky American Water Company) is
the biggest issue in this election." he said. “And we believe
the community can be better served by local ownership."

Mayoral candidate Teresa Isaac supports city owner-
ship; candidate Scott Crosbie does not.

Those who support private ownership argue profitdri-
ven companies are more likely to provide a better service
and government monopolies are often inefficient.

Privett said he hoped the meeting would allow voters
to make a more educated choice on election day. Isaac
spoke at the meeting.

“We believe local ownership is the best choice. and we
want to inform voters on which candidates share our
view." he said.

Former Gov. Ned Breathitt. also a UK trustee, spoke
on behalf of Bluegrass FLOW.

Breathitt said he saw Kentucky Utilities employees
lose their jobs after KU was bought out by a German con-
glomerate.

“(Foreign utility companies) are trying to gobble up
every utility they can so they can control the economics
and politics of the world.“ he said.

Breathitt said foreign owners would have to pay stock
dividends to share holders. which could result in in-
creased rates, deferment of maintenance and downsizing.

“We‘re not going to be asleep at the switch this time
and we're going to fight for the people of Kentucky.“ he
said.

Foster Ockerman. attorney for Bluegrass FLOW.
addressed legal issues of local government ownership.

“It‘s not a takeover.“ he said. “The Lexington Fayette
Urban County Government will pay fair market price."

“It makes no sense to subject our water in Lexington
to the whims of German tax laws," he said.

 

Man calls dorm home for eight years

Old guy: Lexmark employee Brandon Skaggs, 27,
mentors engineering students living in Blanding ”I

By Amy Jo Gill
STA" WRIIER

Brandon Skaggs dubbs
himself the “old guy in the
dorm.“

Though Skaggs is a 27»
year-old engineering alum-
nus from UK. he has not es-
caped dorm life .., but has no
problem living it up in
Blanding III on South Cam-
pus.

“Hopefully the students
see me as an older brother
figure. not a father figure."
he said.

Skaggs works at Lex
mark and resides in the
dorm as a Resident Engineer
It‘s his eighth year in the co—
ed dorm. Though he lived

there as a student. he now
takes the role of supplemen-
tal staff to the resident advis-
ers. Skaggs helps plan activi-
ties and programs for the en-
gineering students and is
also a fixture in tutoring ses-
sions on Monday nights.

The environment in this
case is one without parties.
without alcohol and without
late-night visits from the op-
posite sex. It's a world usual-
ly occupied by the 18-20 year-
olds that reside in the dorms.
but Skaggs shrugs off the
pitfalls.

“I've lived on campus for
years." he said. “I'm used to
the environment.“

Skaggs resides in a hall
director-esque suite on the

second floor. newly renovat-
ed especially for him. The
immaculate suite is complete
with a living area. kitchen
area. full bathroom. a large
closet and a bedroom.

He keeps the room basic.
with a TV. comfy couch. com-
puter. and robust wooden
table and chairs. in case stu-
dents ever get the urge to
swing by. The place main-
tains a dorm smell and is
complemented by Skaggs‘
never-been-played mandolin.

“I have yet to take a les-
son to learn to play it." Skag-
gs said with a chuckle.

With most dorm rooms
on campus having to be
shared by at least two people
« ofien resembling a sardine
can more than a living space
_. Skaggs can appreciate his
dorm suite for its space and
luxury. He admits most peo-

ple don't get this opportunity

“Residence halls can‘t
compete with apartments."
Skaggs said. “but it helps
moms to know we make an
effort to help out folks.“

Skaggs first moved into
the dorm in August 1993 to
do an engineering coop.

“I had a goal to stay
there [in the dorms) because
it's just easier." Skaggs said.
“When I moved off campus
in May 1999. I never thought
I‘d be back."

The plan to return to
South Campus was partly
Skaggs‘ idea. In March 2001.
Skaggs pitched the idea that
the engineering program
needed continuity. someone
without RA responsibilities
and time demands. but with
an interest in helping stu-

NYPD asks easier surveillance

NEW YORK (‘iting a climate altered
by terrorist threats. the New York Police
Department asked a court to sharply curtail
the powers of a panel that oversees the de-
partment's surveillance of political groups.
The request. filed Wednesday in federal
court in Manhattan. would eliminate many
of the panel's powers to monitor and regu~
late surveillance of domestic activists. The
department now must seek permission
from the three-member authority to use un-
dercover officers to investigate any political
group believed to be involved iii planning a
crime. The authority. which consists of two
deputy police commissioners and a civilian
appointee. mttst grant permission for the
NYPD to conduct such investigations for
more than :l0 days, Police investigators are
also restricted from gathering all but the
most basic information about planned polit
ical demonstrations. Those restrictions
would be eliminated under the depart»
ment‘s request. David (‘ohen. the NYPD's
deptity con‘iniissioner for intelligence.
wrote in the court filing that terrorists have
used the First .-\mendnient protections of'
mosques and Islamic institutes to hide their
activities. The authority's guidelines have
become a grave impediment to the NYPD's
thorough investigation of such groups. he
wrote. Mohammad Sherwani. director of
the Muslim (‘enter of New York. said the
panel provides an important check on the
department. They should not become
overzealous about it. They have enough att-
thority.” he said. They should go through
the proper channels. We have to trust those
cl'iannels.”

UK'S housing capacity
now accommodates 29 per-
cent of undergraduates. not
including the 18 percent in
crease in freshman this year.

The plan would increase
capacity to 33 percent of un-
dergraduates by 2010 and 40
percent of undergraduates by
2020.

Much of the plan‘s suc-
cess depends on decreasing
the amount of surface park-
ing lots and building more
parking structures. Glaros

said.

UK should implement
programs to curb the high de-
tnand for (in-campus parking.
said the firm's principal.
Adam Gross,

Those initiatives include
increasing student housing.
subsidizing housing near
campus for employees and
paying commuters who find
alternate transportation to
campus.

UK now has one parking
space for every two people on
campus. Surface parking.
such as the lots behind
Memorial Coliseum. ac-
counts for 16 percent of cam»
pus. Glaros said,

This plan would reduce
the number of parking spots
to one place for four people by

SKAGGS

Continued from paqei

dents.

Phone calls were made
and plans began. From that.
the program blossomed and
started to take shape.

“I think some people
think it’s weird, but he tutors
and does programs and gives
opportunities to the stu-
dents," said RA and mechani-
cal engineering major Aaron
Halcomb.

To Skaggs. it‘s not all
about work.

“I’ve probably done more
social stuff than Blanding III
stuff," Skaggs said.

Even though he may be
up to nine years older than
his neighbors. Skaggs pays

no mind.

“I've got a group of
friends I've met over the
years as students. and friends
at work.“ Skaggs said. “It's
hard schedule-wise to make
friends with freshmen. but
who knows what will happen
by the end of the year

“I don't know the B-III
residents as much as I‘d like
to.“ he said. “I know a few I'd
like to become friends with
but the year is just getting
started."

The students seem to like
him just as much.

“It's great because they
can get help from him when—
ever. because he's just right
there.“ said Clay List. an un-
declared freshman resident.
“It's helpful to have special
interest dorms like this.“

One of the main events
for the dorm is tutoring on

Prisoners who were deliber
ately exposed to diseases and
given mindraltering drugs
during jailhouse medical ex
periments from the 1930s
through the 1970s cannot sue
the city and the university
that conducted the tests. a
federal appeals court ruled.

A thi‘eejudge panel of
the 3rd [18 (‘ireuit (‘ourt of
Appeals on Tuesday upheld
a lower court‘s ruling that
the 298 fortner inmates wait»
ed too long to bring their
lawsuit.

In most eireumstaiu-es.

iail titne long ago

state law requires that the
type of lawsuit filed by the
prisoners be brought within
two to four years The exper-

wrote about the testing in his
1998 book “Acres of Skin."

For decades, the Ifniver-

Capt. Terry Bragg. com-
mander of Destroyer
Squadron One in San Diego,
which oversees the Mc-

heard a story of survival like
Van Pham's.

Van Pham had used a
small grill on board his boat
to cook seabirds and turtle
meat after he ran out of food
a week into the ordeal. To
keep the grill going. he be-
gan disassembling parts of
the boat for fuel. Bragg said.

Each day he drifted at
sea. Van Pham said, he
looked for any sign of life,
any sign of land.

"I see nothing." he said.
“Then one day. I see a plane. I
know I‘m close to people.
They tip their wings to say
hello. TWo hours later. a ship
comes to my boat. I am very,
very happy"

a city jail that closed in 1995.

Many of the tests were
harmless. but at city hear—

year. one former prisoner
said his hands and feet
swelled grotesquely. Others
said they lost feeling in
limbs or had bad reactions
to psychotropic drugs.

The lawsuit said the in-
mates had not been in-
formed of the risks or prop-
