site for UK waste facility

 

By Brian Bennett
Senior Staff Writer

Though UK‘s plan to build an
on-campus hazardous waste facility
is still in its early stages. the propo-
sal already has encountered some
opposition.

University officials are trying to
determine where the approximately
10,000-square-foot facility should
be located. One of the proposed
sites is adjacent to Agricultural Sci-
ence Center South. also known as
the Garrigus Building.

But Oran Little. dean of the Col-
lege of Agriculture, said in a letter
to Chancellor for the Lexington
Campus Robert llemenway that he
is against the facility being placed
near Ag Science South.

Little based his opposition on
several factors. First, he said, the fa-
cility should be in a low traffic area
to avoid the possibility of an acci—
dent during transportation of the
materials. The Ag South location is
a “high people traffic area," he said.

Little also said putting the waste
site next to Ag South would prevent
any future expansion of the build-
ing.

Another reason he cited for his
opposition was that the largest
classroom in Ag South would be

Many adults
coming back
for degrees

 

By Lori Coleman
Staff Writer

 

Many adults who never obtained
a bachelor‘s degree are returning to
college in droves.

By the end of this decade. one
out of every three college students
will be over 25 years old. according
to expert predictions.

Approximately 33 percent of the
students at UK are 25 years of age
or older, said Ann Hostetter of the
Academic Support Services for
Adults office in Frazee Hall. “That
number includes graduate students.
too."

One of those students is 44-year-
old Brian Engle, a political science
senior who said being a non-
traditional student is much easier
than his earlier college experience
in 1966.

“I am able to focus and priori-
tize.” he said. “I have better control
of myself - and my hormones — than
I had 25 years ago.“

Engle said he will attend law
school after attaining his bachelor‘s
degree in May. “if all goes well on
the LSAT.“

Another non-traditional student,
Sonia Shropshire. 42. a socral work
major. didn‘t start college straight
out of high school. She doesn‘t con-
sider herself a “return student"

her education. instead. she staned

adjacent to an external wall of the
proposed waste site. “The risks of
exposing large assemblies of people
in the classroom through possible
accidents or explosions should not
be ignored," he said in his letter,
dated Feb. 1.

Administrators said they will
choose a site for the hazardous
waste facility that will not be haz-
ardous to students. faculty and staff.

“Like anything of this son. it's
important to give careful thought as
to what place to put such a build-
ing." Hemenway said. “And I think
that's what the intentions of every-
one have been.“

Donald Clapp. vice president for
administration. said people might
get the wrong impression when
they hear the term “hazardous
waste." He insisted that the materi-
als that will be housed in the build-
ing are like those used everyday in
campus laboratories.

“Wharexer site we ultimately
choose “(3 will do a very thorough
and complete assessment of the im-
l‘lh‘Itllons of locating it there."
(‘lapp said “'lhese are not some
strange alien materials that are be-
ing brought to our campus. They
arc materials that we are dealing
\Hlil all the time on campus in la-
horalor‘rcs as well as other places.

"It‘s not a building that will nec—

 

essarily be any more dangerous
than the labs we have or anything
else on czunpus."

The facility has been planned for
sortie time. UK officials requested
funding for the project during the
1992 legislative session. The legis-
lature asked the state Council on
Higher Education to decide how
much UK should receive for the
project. and the CHE approved $1.6
rnilliou for the facility at its No-
vember meeting.

(‘lapp said UK architect Warren
Denny and other administrators are
still looking at possible sites for the
facility. Since administrators want
the building to be close to the plac-
es most of the hazardous materials
are generated. Clapp said they are
looking “very heavily in the vicini-
ty“ of the agricultural science build-
ings and the Albert B. (‘handler
Medical Center.

Clapp said there is no deadline
for a site to be chosen. Construction
will not be completed for a “couple
of years" he said.

“Hopefully. this will enable us to
be even more responsible as an m—
strtution environmentally." hc sltlti

Pitino said the Cats are starting to
“focus on bringing our game to a
new level."

LK is right on schedule at this
point. Mashburn said.

”1 think we're right where we
want to it." he said. "You don‘t
want to peak too early."

Freshman Jared Priekett sees the
Cats getting better down the road.

"I really don‘t know that we‘ve
hit our peak yet.‘~ he said. ”We‘re
playing good basketball. but I defi-
nitely don‘t think we've hit our
peak yet. Hopefully we'll start
peaking with the South Carolina

As for the critics who have said
I'K has an easy schedule for their
final six games. Pitino shrugs off
those criticisms.

“Anybody who takes for granted
those games probably did not watch

PIKEVILLE, Ky. —-— They’ll play
on high school and municipal dia»
monds, in small towns that the ma-
jor leagues have either forsaken or
never even looked at in the first

 

place.
The pay won‘t be great, the
crowds will be small and there

won't be any instant replay on
ESPN. But at least the members of
the new Frontier League will be
playing professional baseball.

“It’s imponant for kids in our
area to be paid to play,“ eastern
Kentucky native and former San
Francisco Giants shortstop Johnny
LeMaster said Monday during a
tour to inaugurate the eight-team
rookie league.

Ashland will be home to the Tri-
State Tomahawks, and the Ken-
tucky Longrifles will divide their
time between Pikeville and LeMas-
tcr‘s native Paintsville. The other
host cities are Chillicothe, Lancas-
ter, Portsmouth and Zanesville in
Ohio, and Huntington and Wayne in
West Virginia.

The only other teams with names
so far are the Lancaster Scouts, the
Huntington Frontier Redcoats and
the Wayne Coal Sox. But all of the
host cities share great expectations.

“The foundation has been laid,"
said Bud Bickel, president and com-
missioner of the independent league
based in Huntington, W.Va. “N0w,
the work begins."

Players will range in age from l7
to 24, and players with previous
professional baseball experience
will be ineligible. In fact, LeMaster
said, most players probably will be
left over from the major league‘s
amateur draft.

Tryouts will be held in May and
lane. and each 20-member learn can

against those mighty Nittany Lions
of Penn State. But the fact is they
have not lost a single game since
the Wildcats three’d them to death
in Freedom Hall in early January.

Many writers - Bob Ryan of the
Boston Globe and Mike Lupica of
the New York Daily News included
— feel there is not a better college
basketball team in the nation right
now. And the last time the Hoosiers
had a senior who could shoot like
Calbert Cheaney, they won the na-
tional championship (Steve Alford,
1987).

As long as Bobby Knight can
continue bringing Brian Evanscs
off the bench and into the score-
books, the Hoosiers will be the
team to beat in New Orleans.

-Kcntucky. Two sentiments about
these Wildcats: I) Nice team. 2)
Not as good as last year’s. It is no
great shock the Wildcats have more
talent this year with athletic types

have up to five local players. Each
club will play 52 games during a
l0-weck season, LeMaster said.

Opening day already is set lor
June 26. Ticket sales, advertising
and corporate sponsorships will
generate most of the revenue, and
Bickel said players would be paid a
base salary of about Sl,3()() for the
summer.

The new league is independent of
the majors, btit LeMaster said he
hopes its teams will one day earn af-
filiate status with the big leagues. In
the meantime, LeMaster said, talent
scouts from the major leagues will
be brought in for games “as an in-
centive" to the players.

Huntington still plays host to a
Chicago Cubs rookie team, of
which Bickel was general manager
until last year. But most of the other
Frontier cities are further removed
from professional baseball.

Lancaster hasn‘t seen pro ball
since the early part of the century,
but it has earned a minor place in
sports history, said Ray DeLong, a
freelance writer who spearheaded
the project in his town.

Dcl.ong hasn’t been able to find
the old franchise‘s name, although
he has seen the team referred to
simply as the Lancastcrs. But he
does know from an old newspaper
clipping that Lancaster pitcher Wal—
ter Justice hurled a rare four no~

like Rodney Dent and Rodrick
Rhodes, but they must learn to exe-
cute better in their half-court of-
fense and defense, and the press
must look more like last year‘s and
less like it did against Arkansas last
week.

Travis Ford’s three-point shoot-
ing and Jamal Mashbum’s inside-
outside threat may be enough to
land this team a spot in N‘awlins,
but there are too few Pelphrey-to-
Feldhaus antl Woods-to-Farmer
backdoor cuts to keep opposing de-
fenses honest.

hitters in l‘)()b‘.

“There's a complexion of base—
ball III a majority of the (league)
cities." said I)eLong, who chose
the Lancaster Scouts' green and
gold colors after finding another
clipping about the club. “It‘s not
like it‘s a total new entity to a
w hole lot of people."

But the spon is not such ancient
history to some of the host cities.

Both Pikeville and Paintsville
were part of the majors‘ Appala'
chian League and had five rookie
teams between them during the late
l970s and early ’80s, including the
New York Yankees and the Mil-
waukee Brewers.

Greg Maddux, a former Chicago
Cubs pitcher and I992 Cy Young
Award winner, started his pro ca-
reer in Pikeville.

But the Brewers pulled out of
Paintsville in I984 because of prob-
lems with the facilities, and the
league decided Pikeville was too
long a trip for the other teams to
make.

City leaders say that is all in the
past.

“It wasn‘t a question of whether
they were successful before." said
Mayor Walter May of Pikeville, a
town of 6.000 in the Appalachian
coal fields. “We have the facility
and the will to make it successful."

KANSAS (‘I'I‘Y, Mo. (‘ol-
Icgc basketball coaches. no longer
willing to accept their traditional
role, may take one giant step to—
ward a new era today.

At immediate issue is the firing
ol (‘alifornia coach Lou Campa—
iiellt. whose promising young
team was l0-7 when he was dis-
missed last week.

On Monday. the lo~iiicniber
board ot directors of the National
Association of Basketball Coach-
es discussed Campanelli’s situa-
tion for almost 90 minutes, ar-
guing over how and whether to
raise a protest.

NABC executive director Jiin
Haney said his office might issue
a statement today. marking the
first time the 66-year-old organi-
zation publicly spoke out in one
voice over the firing of anybody.

Beyond Campanelli, however.
lies the much broader question of
empowerment of coaches, secur-
ing greater job security anti great-
er access to the rulc~ and policy-
making process.

“We’re trying to be pan of the
academic community. We consid—
cr ourselves teachers." said
NABC president Johnny Orr of

 

Iowa State. "We are the guardians
ot the game.“

“This l.\ an association iiiadc tip
of coaches. ()ne certainly has the
right to be concerned about the wel~
late of its membership." said Ila-
nc)’. who moved the NABC otfices
to Kansas City last year to be nearer
the NCAA.

"We‘re concerned about intercol-
legiate athletics. We're concerned
about fitting into the system and be-
coming valuable assets in the pro-
cess, whether the l\\llt‘ l\ rcdticing
costs or concerns about student-
athletes‘ welfare."

In (‘ampanellt the NABC has the
perfect example ot what coaches
see as a growing problem.

“This firing of coaches at mid-
season is an issue that we have to
address." Haney said. “There have
been four so far this year in Divi-
\IOII I. and we understand two more
haye not been announced.

"In this particular case. there are a
couple of bases left for us to touch
before we say anything."

The NABC is powerless to stop
the firing of coaches. who answer to
the chief executive officer at each
school. But banding together, their
power to command the media spot-
light could prove embarrassing to
any school acting in haste.

“We can look at situations and try

College coaches trying to change
their positions after recent fning

to draw attention to how things
happen, and try to make people
aware of the impact of timing and
other things on coaches and pro-
grams," Haney said.

He described the 00—minute
conference call as “very produc
