The time is growin near.

Between the chain link fences
on Columbia and Hilltop
Avenues, the W T. Young
Library nears its scheduled com-
pletion for the Fall 1997 semes-
ter.

This year’s new students will
be the last class to know both
worlds: the lab rinth in the
Margaret I. King ibrary and the
new order in the Young Libra .

Workers have be n to llily
brick on the side acing Rose
Street, as well as the University—
Hilltop Drive side. The have
also started putting mec anical
equi ment in the basement.

e new facility will feature
numerous im rovements over
M.I. King. libraries’ scat—
tered humanities, social science
and life science collections will be
much easier to access because
the will be together at one site.

The library will seat about
4000 cc le, com ared to the
800-9(Ot eKingli rary seats. It
will include 21 group study/sem-
inar rooms and a number of read-
in rooms. Most reading rooms
Wll be near a natural light
source, either a window or the
skylight in the middle of the
library.

Paul VVillis, libra director,
said that students wil find the
new libra more study-friendly
than M.I. 'ng.

“We did not build a book
warehouse. We’ve built some-
thing that is very patron-
oriented,” he said.

“We are takin most of the
collection from ‘n Libra
except for special co lections,
said Judy Sackett of the library
directors ofﬁce. “We’re also
movingall of the biological sci-
ences ibrary, the agricultural
library and most of the med-cen-
ter co lection,”

The move is expected to take
an estimated four to six weeks.
This giant endeavor is already
beiiwlanned by 12 task forces.

“ e are thinking about how
lon it will take to t back due
boo s on the shef after the
semester ends, how much time
will it take to shelf read them to
make sure that they are all in
order,” said Sackett.

To speed up the move, the
library Wlll hire professional
book movers who will integrate
the different collections.

e movers will save a lot of
time With the experience they
have movmg collections,
Sackett explained.

Bike pat/as
new for fall

By Chrla Padgett
News Editor

Last fall, UK ofﬁcials devised
a voluntary bicycle dismount pol—
icy for the campus — meanin

clists were required to get 0
t eir bikes and walk when they
approached Central Campus.

Accordin to universrty ofﬁ-
cials, thong , the program was
not much of a success.

The goal of the campaign was
to create ublic awareness among
both cyc mm and pedestrians for
improved understandin between
these two groups w 0 share
crowded campus sidewalks.

But the dismount signs were
stolen and replaced and stolen
a ain, much to the cha 'n of
LgK Police and UK ofﬁcia s, and
on the whole, the policy was
ignored by cyclists.

With the death of the dis~
mount zone, UK oﬁicials then
began another series of town hall
meetings to discuss con soon
on campus sidewalks an try to
form a new plan to deal with the
problem.

In response to last year’s deba-
cle over an ever-changing bike
policy, UK ofﬁcials have created

ike paths.

Local ofﬁcials are also consid-
ering providing bike lanes around
the city of Lexmgton.

Existing bike racks will be
moved into clusters away from
congested areas to discourage
bike riding on campus.

Unlike the voluntary dis-
mount zones, Vice President for
University Relations Joe Burch
said UK plans to enforce the new
bike ‘plath policy.

nothing is goin r to work unless
we enforce it," urch said.

The chan e in attitudes about
biking over t e past two decades
has led to UK‘s frustrating bicy-
cle overcrowding roblem.

During a bic cl)e safety forum
in April, Burc attributed the
recent demand for a bike safety
policy to dramatic changes in
society and the evolution of
Generation X.

In the late ’605, very few peo~
ple rode bikes to get around cam-
pus.

“They were not very fashion-
able, and only a few daring souls
chose to ride," Burch said.

As years passed and the layout
of the campus changed, UK offi-
cials urged incomin freshman to
ride bicycles aroun campus.

“During the early and mid-
‘805 we ushed for more and
more studgnts to come to campus
with their bikes, and as the years
progressed more and more stu-
dents did decide to come to cam-
pus with their bicycle,” Burch
said.

UK‘s endorsement of bikes on
campsis came to a turning point
in l 4, when Charles Haywood,
a facul member, was struck by a
bike asthe was walking to class.

“This was one of the ﬁrst
major incidents of someone get-
ting struck on campus,” Burch
sai .

tilt, the places you'll live

By Kathy Badlna

Assistant New: Editor

Living in Lexington offers
many housing options, some a
part of the university and others a

little further away. Whatever»

you’re preferences are, some-
thing exists for everyone: resi-
dence halls, apartments, Greek
houses, and, if you’re from here,
even living at home.

Where you live can have an
impact on your college career.
The number of roommates your
have, your amount of personal
space, security, and ultimately,
your budget supply, determine
the success of your housing
choice.

Just what is going to suit your
individual needs?

The UK Housing Ofﬁce rec-
ommends that ﬁrst-year students
spend a year living in campus res-
idence halls.

“You’re oing to meet a lot
more peopfe and know what’s
going on on campus,” said
Tammy Dishon, housing assign-
ment manger. “Your campus
becomes your world.”

Residence halls offer students
opportunities for involvement in
intramural sports, group activi-
ties, and access to prepared meals
with UK Food Services. Their
locations offer easy walking dis-
tances to classes, and visitation
policies are designed for security.

Julie Anglin, a two-year resi-
dent of Patterson Hall, said the
minimal housekeeping and
already prepared food are advan-
tages of calling a residence hall
your home away from home.

“The main beneﬁt is having
people all around you,” Anglin
said. “It’s like one big family.”

While few students ﬁnd com-
fort and security living in resi-
dence halls, many others feel the
need for greater privacy and
space.

About 800 UK Greeks reside
in their respective fraternity or
sorority houses. Most offer three
meals a day to house residents,
study rooms and a relaxed visita-
tion policy. Most Greeks cite
reasons of friendship with fellow
chapter members as strong rea—
sons for living in “the house."

Phi Gamma Delta president
Kevin Bradley said living in his
fraternity house adds to the
brotherhood.

“It’s only natural that you’re
goin to bond a lot more,”
Bra ey said.

Greek chapters with houses
normally decide who will live
there based on seniority. If a
member holds an ofﬁce, he or
she is guaranteed a room. Grades
also influence who gets a house
room.

Surprisin to some, it is
cheaper to ive in many Greek
houses than in residence halls

it is easy to go gem knowing

The catch is there are a few peo-

friendships may last a lifetime,
others less than 24 hours.

The shorter ones are the ones

Sorority Membership Recruitment Week,
August 17th - 23rd, is an excellent way to get to know moo
women at UK and to find out about the opportunities the
women ’s Greek—lettered groups have to offer 7

and some apartments.

When students fell surges of
total independence, apartments
and houses begin calling. With
these living options comes total
responsibility for cooking, clean-
ing and paying bills. Few restric-
tions, except causes of your
neighbor’s complaints, are in
place.

Renting with several room-
mates helps keep costs in check.
A variety of locations, sizes and
prices are available for renters.

A ﬁnal housin option is
reserved for t ose from
Lexington or close by: living at
home. Students livin at home
have the advantages of free (or at
least very cheap) rent, food in the
refrigerator, and full family sup-
port.

Alison Scowby, a theatre
junior, has spent her college years
in a variety of living arran -
ments. For two years, she live in
residence hall. Scowby spent the
last year living at home and is
planning to rent an apartment or

ouse this year.

“I’d rather live somewhere
else other than home because it is
easier to live on campus or closer
to it,” Scowby said. “My parents
are cool and all, but away from
home I can have parties and be
more a part of campus.”

Scowby ho s to ﬁnd an
apartment for t e fall that is close
to campus and that is not too
expensive for her budget.

By Kathy Redlng
Asxirtant New: Editor

If searching classiﬁed adver-
tisements for job openings seems
like too much work, resources on
campus exist to ease the hunt for
jobs to help cover tuition, $80
chemistry ooks and weekend
party habits.

Students who qualify for
ﬁnancial aid are eligible to be
em loyed throu h the work-
stu y program. 0 determine if
they can receive ﬁnancial aid,
Penny Miller, work—study direc-
tor, said students must ﬁrst com-
plete a ﬁnancial aid form and be
acce ted to the program.

“ ork-stud is based on
ﬁnancial need, Miller said. “The
money comes from government
prtﬂams.”

'ller said all work-study 'obs
are on campus, making t em
ideal for students who lack a
mode of transportation. About
300 students participated in
work-study last year.

A variety of campus jobs exists
for a licants to choose from,
inclu mg library jobs, general
ofﬁce work and lab assistant posi-
tions. Miller said students in a
particular major or department
can request positions related to

their studies.

Freshmen earn $4.50 er
hour and, and seniors earn S .25
per hour. The number of hours a
student works per week is deter—
mined by class schedule and

number of dollars allotted to the

student for a semester.

Students enrolled in at least
one UK or Lexington
Community Colle c class are

ualiﬁed to use TEPS, the
tudent and Temporary
Em lo ee Placement Semce.

SET PS is a free service to

both students and employers. It

rovides employers with quali-
ﬁed em lo ees for minimal
effort, an STEPS helps students
with the job search process.

STEPS offers a variety of jobs
in just about any area, including
openings for cashiers, child care
workers, computer programers
and mechanical en 'neers.
Salaries ran from $4.2 to $10
and up per our.

The jobs offered by STEPS
come from open ositions
around campus as wel as local
business lookin for student
em loyees. STE S maintains an
updiited job list which shows jobs
and responsibilities, pay rates,
hours per week and minimum

"K 101 introduces campus lite

By Julie Anderson
KeG Editor

A college campus can intimi-
date.

Recognizing its own power,
the university be an UK 101
eight years ago to s ow incomin
students what campus life is al
about.

“It (UK 101) covers a wide
range of topics concerning cam—
pus life, which makes it uni ue,”
Assistant Dean of Stu ents
Rebecca Jordan said.

Desi nated a one credit,
pass/fai class, students new to
the university environment are
encouraged to take UK 101 as a
:nfeans of acclimating to college
I e.

The course is divided sections
with 25 students per section.
Each class ically counts as ses-
sion. The lowing are many of
the topics covered In a semester's
worth of sessions:

V Academic advising

V Date rape

V Computer labs

V Academic integrity

M... .n...-.n._._..._,_....,_- . ...

V Appreciating diversity

V Library skills

V Registration/VIP

V Study Habits

Other session focus on study
habits.

“It’s ve study skill oriented
toward co lege classes,” Jordan
said.

To staff the 28 sections
offered, the program brings in a
staff members from a myriad of
departments and an upperclass—
man to assist the professor.

“I got along real well with my
co—teacher. Before every class, he
would tell the students about
campus events.” said Joe Fink,
pharmacy professor “He’d tell
them how to get football tickets
and nuts and bolts stuff.“

Fink, in his fourth year of
teaching UK 101, said it brings
him in close contact with ﬁrst-
time students.

“I wasn't involved the ﬁrst
years. Then I talked to some fac-
ulty members who said it was a

t program so I decided to try
it,” Fink said.

To better distinguish what

questions freshman need
answered, Fink organized one-
on-one meetings with students.

“I wanted to ﬁnd out how the
students thought the class had
gone,” Fink said.

The reaction was consistent
from student to student.

“They had uniformly positive
responses. The transition to col-
lege was easier for the students
by getting to know a small group
of people,” Fink told.

Each year several changes to
the curriculum are made. This
year another session on diversity
and a session on electronic acces
information will be added.

“Every year the class chan
to ﬁt changing needs,” Jars:
said.

The program grows every

r. An incoming freshman may
give trouble getting into the
class, but Jorday assured that
spots always open up.

“If a student can’t get in dur-
ing the summer, spots always
open up in the fall before school
starts,” Jordan said.

The student resolved to never
