Lexington officials ‘

adamantly oppose
Rose Street closing

 

By Brian Bennett
Senior Staff Writer

Lexington traffic planners ac-
knowledge that Rose Street traffic
poses safety problems, but they are
adamant about keeping the campus
artery open. '

“We certainly are concerned
about the safety situation along
Rose Street," Bob Kennedy, trans-
portation planning manager for the
Lexington-Fayette Planning and
Zoning Committee, said yesterday.

But Kennedy said UK’s long-
range plan of closing the traffic-
clogged road is unrealistic.

“The University wants to be kind
of like their own little island with-
out anything passing through it," he
said. “The other side — the city ——
has major road facilities that have
been going through that area for
ages, and their interest is not to
block something but to keep the
traffic flowing.

“Hopefully, we can reach some
kind of compromise eventually, but
the city‘s position is we’re not go-
ing to close Rose Street.“

UK wants to close the road to
eliminate the more than 20,000 ve-
hicles it brings through Central
Campus daily. The traffic, school
administrators say, poses a safety
hazard to students and will only get
worse when UK opens its Central
and Life Sciences Library in 1996.
The library will be located off Rose
Street.

Lexington Mayor Pam Miller op-
poses such a move for several rea-
sons, press secretary Susan Straub
said.

“One, we would have to build
new roads through existing neigh-
borhoods to carry the traffic,"
Straub said. “Two, the new roads
would cost over $5 million per
mile, and we do not foresee having
that kind of money anytime in the
next decade.

“Three, vehicles, bicycles and pe-
destrians generally coexist now on
Rose Street without a lot of major
problems."

Suggestions that Rose Street traf-
fic be rerouted has met with strong
resistance from campus-area neigh-
borhoods.

“When the University was pro-
posing a perimeter drive that would
come out and link up with Lafay-
ette, there was a whole lot of objec-
tion about that," Kennedy said.

“Every time we get into (redirect-
ing traffic), it’s like, ‘Whose street
are we going to put the traffic on?’
The neighborhoods are very much
opposed to anything like that."

It also would be unwise for city
officials to challenge that opposi-
tion, he said.

“They‘re very strong so far as
stating their opinion," Kennedy
said, “and they also vote."

With the library’s completion
and the expected construction of ac-
ademic buildings on its perimeter,
Kennedy admits that pressure will
intensify to find a solution.

The Planning and Zoning Com-
mittee will take this into account in
its long-term plans, he said.

And the Urban County transpor-
tation plan, to be completed in June.
may help.

“Again, I don’t know whether
there really is a viable solution,“
Kennedy said. “There may be some
modifications of things."

Kennedy said the city's Planning
and Zoning Committee already has
worked with the Kentucky Trans-
portation Center to alleviate pedes-
trian safety hazards on Rose.

“Over the past several years we
increased the size of the medians
there (on Rose Street)," he said.
“That kind of slowed traffic down a
bit and gives the pedestrians some
place to stand."

“We really can’t close the street,
but also we've done maybe as much
as as can be done concerning safety
that would be effective."

With so many competing inter-
ests, he said, it will indeed be diffi-
cult to resolve the conflict.

“We’re between a rock and a
hard place.”

a bill last night that would

change election procedures in SGA

If the bill is approved by the full
SGA Senate next week, presidential
tickets will be limited to placing no
more than 300 posters on “campus-
area property." Senate candidates
will be limited to 200.

US. soldiers will be killed if sent
to police Bosnia, commander says

 

By Suzanne Schaffer
Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Americans
should realize some US. soldiers
will be killed if they are sent to pc-
lice a peace agreement in Bosnia,
the commander of US. Army forc-
es in Europe said yesterday.

“We won’t go through that opera-
tion and not lose an American sol-
dier," Gen. David Maddox told re-
porters. “We're going to have some
fights there. We’ll take some
losses, but we'll get the job done."

The four-star Army general com-

mands the 85,000 U.S. Army troops
in Europe, from where the potential
peacekeepers are expected to be
drawn.

Maddox said he would expect
casualties even under the best con-
ditions, including a formal peace
agreement by the three warring par-
ties.

it would be naive not to do so,
the general said, given the centuries
of turmoil in the region and the ha-
treds unleashed by a two-year war
that has claimed 200,000 lives.

President Clinton has pledged to
obtain congressional approval be-

fore ordering U.S. ground forces
into the region, and has indicated
Washington would contribute half
the number needed for an intema-
tional force.

Maddox said he has drawn up nu-
merous outlines for the size and
structure of the US. contingent, but
he will not define its exact size and
composition until he knows exactly
whatjob it will be given.

“I‘ve worked numbers ranging
from 20,000 to 30,000 (troops),” he
said, emphasizing-that the units
should be strong enough to protect
themselves. “i ain‘t goin' in with

Rogers, Engstrom

begin SGA race

 

By Stephen D. Trimbie
Assistant News Editor

 

Promising to fight for lower tui-
tion and a fall break, Tracy Rogers
and Mark Engstrom announced
their bid to lead UK‘s Student Gov-
ernment Association next year.

Rogers, who is seeking
the office of SGA presi-
dent, and vice presidential
candidate Engstrom say
students are paying too
much for tuition and
vowed to take their fight to
the steps of the state capi~
to], if necessary.

Mike Campbell, the
ticket's campaign chair-
man, said Rogers‘ position
as an intern for state Rep.
Paul Mason gives her an
“inside track" on the legislative
body.

As SGA governmental
affairs chairwoman this
year. Rogers planned this
week's phone calling and
letter writing campaign to
the General Assembly
seeking support for tuition
freezes.

Rogers also proposed a
longer Thanksgiving vaca-
tion, instead of the one day

students currently are al- ENGSTROM

lotted.

She said students need at least a
day before the national holiday just
for travel purposes to be with their
families at home.

A one-week academic holiday
similar to spring break would be
ideal, Rogers said.

She also implied that the holiday
could help students academically.
She claimed that grades are higher
in the spring, perhaps as a result of
spring break.

“A fall break would really make
it easier on students, and we feel

 

ROGERS

 

like we can justify it academically,"
Rogers said during her announce-
ment at the Student Center.

Campbell said a “top-ranking"
University administrator told him a
Thanksgiving break would be feasi-
ble, but he said students need to ask
for it.

The ticket also is calling for more
accountability of academic
advisers.

Academic advisers need
‘ _ to be more careful when
offering suggestions for
____ students‘ course loads,
, Rogers said.

Too often, students find
themselves in classes they
don’t need for their majors
and end up paying for
wasted credit hours.

Classes are the most im-
portant aspect of college, Rogers
said, and advisers need to be sure
the students are entering the right
ones.

Rogers said she wants
advisers to be accountable
for the advice they give
and will encourage advis-
ers to offer a course check
list for all juniors.

The checklist would
make sure students are
aware of what classes they
need, she said.

She also said advisers
need to take a more active
role in their students’ academic ca-
reers.

“You should be able to walk into
your adviser's room and have the
adviser know you by name," she
said.

“I know that‘s hard with 20,000
people, but that’s what we want to
do."

Rob Warrington and Joe Braun
are so far the only other official
ticket for SGA's top two jobs.

SGA elections will be held in late
April.

New UK program
designed to help

small Ky.

By Shannon J. Hanley
Contributing Writer

 

 

Small Kentucky firms soon could
change the way they manufacture
products thanks to the development
of UK's “lean manufacturing". pro-
gram.

Lean manufacturing is an innova-
tive approach to production that at-
tempts to create just the right num-
ber of parts at just the right time.

“it‘s a fulfillment of a dream,”
Fujio Cho said during a news con-
ference yesterday announcing the
launching of UK‘s program.

Cho. president and CEO of Toyo-
ta Motor Manufacturing USA lnc.,
detailed his company‘s involvement
with the program, which will be ad-
ministered through UK's Depart-
ment of Mechanical Engineering
and the Center for Robotics and
Manufacturing Systems.

For the past 10 months. several
UK professors and extension engi-
neers have participated in training
with Toyota.

UK President Charles Wething-
ton praised the joint partnership.

 

factories

saying it and the new program
“could have significant, long-range
benefits for the state of Kentucky.“

Thomas Lester, dean of UK's
College of Engineering, stressed
the cooperative nature of the pro-
gram, which will involve students
and faculty at UK, as well as local
businesses.

Wethington said the lean manu-
facturing program marks the first
time Toyota has entered into a joint
venture with an engineering school.

Andrew Seybert. chairman of the
Department of Mechanical Engi-
neering, said lean manufacturing
can lead to higher quality and great-
er efficiency.

In the past, companies usually
manufactured parts in “batches."
These batches were then stored in a
warehouse until they were needed
for assembly.

Many companies, however, expe-
rience problems with this approach.
Large batches often create a back-
log of inventory. in addition. mis-
takes in the manufacturing process
of parts can go unnotiwd until they

Minorities have
many prejudices,

new poll

By Howard Goldberg
Associated Press

 

 

NEW YORK — Minority groups
have widespread prejudices toward
each other while sharing animosity
toward whites, according to a poll
released yesterday by a major ecu-
menical group.

The poll found “a yawning gulf
between white and minority group
perceptions about America," said
the group founded in 1927 as the
National Conference of Christians
and Jews.

Eight in 10 blacks in the poll be-
lieve their race lacks the opportuni-
ties enjoyed by whites. Six in 10
Hispanics and nearly as many
Asian-Americans feel the same.

Each minority group feels the
others have been discriminated
against, too. while most whites say
minorities have equal opportunities,
the poll found.

“It's a loud and strong and clear
message to white America that you
think things are better than your
neighbors do," said Karl Berol-
zheimer of the National Confer-
ence, as the group now calls itself.

Louis Harris, whose LH Research
took the survey. is known for pro-
ducing provocative results. In this
poll, he did so by including ugly
generalizations about minorities.
which sizable numbers of Ameri-
cans agreed with.

Some findings:

°More than four in 10 blacks and
Hispanics and 27 percent of whites
concur with the stereotype that
Asian-Americans are “unscrupu-
lous, crafty and devious in busi-
ness."

Nearly half the Hispanics and
four in 10 blacks and whites agree
with the claim that Muslims “be-
long to a religion that condones or
supports terrorism."

°Two in three minority group
members agreed with assertions

reports

that white people are insensitive to
other people, have a long history of
bigotry and believe they can boss
other people around.

Sanford Cloud Jr., named yester-
day as National Conference presi-
dent. said the poll showed him that
“there's a lot of work that needs to
be done within communities of col-
or regarding their feelings toward
each other."

Cloud, the first black to head the
organization, said he was surprised
such a large gap remained between
white and minority views. He at-
tributed it in part to people isolating
themselves in their homes and be-
ing exposed to repeated insensitive
media portrayals of minorities.

“As long as we continue to have
such differences of opinion we can-
not possibly come together and
reach our full potential as a nation,"
he said. Discussing the intolerance
exposed by the poll is necessary so
the country can unite against prob-
lems like homelessness and street
violence. he said.

An independent expert on pol-
ling. Stanley Presser, said he would
not make too much of any single
number in the poll. but was not sur-
prised by the pattem it showed.

“There's a lot of evidence that
whites and blacks see the world
through very different eyes,” said
Presser, a University of Maryland
sociology professor.

LH Research said it polled nearly
2,755 people by phone. The Ford

and Joyce foundations co-
sponsored the study.
The interviewers told those

polled they would read “some state-
ments reflecting common atti-
tudes.” They rotated bigoted gener-
alizations, such as Jews “are more
loyal to Israel than to America"
with positive attributes, such as
Jews “place a high value on educa-
tion and achievement."

The results are subject to a mar-
gin of sampling error of plus or mi-
nus 2 percentage points.

Olympics set TV-ratings history

 

By Scott Williams
Associated Press

 

NEW YORK — About 204 million Ameri-
cans watched the Winter Olympics, making it
the most-watched event in TV history and
cnishing CBS' rivals in the Febmary ratings
sweep.

“On a household basis, 92.5 percent of all
American households tuned in," David Poluack,
CBS vice president for research, said yesterday.
“That is also the highest-rated cumulative audi-
ence of any event in television history.”

The Lillehammer, Norway, games posted the
highest average rating, a 27.8, of any Olympics,
winter or summer, in history.

A single ratings point equals 942,000 homes
of the 94.2 million TV households in the United
States.

CBS’ ratings will equal the combined ratings
of ABC and NBC for the monthlong February
sweep — one of three, annual periods of inten-
sive audience measurement that let affiliates set
local ad rates.

According to preliminary Nielsens, CBS aver-

aged 3 22.6 rating for all programs — up 36 per-
cent from‘1992; ABC averaged an 11.2 rating
and NBC a 10.4.

CBS affiliates saw an immediate benefit from
the Olympic ratings in the 30-city “people-
meter" markets that provide instant, overnight
Nielsens: A late news audience increase of 64
percent, Poltrack said.

Even without the Winter Olynpics, CBS won
the sweep. In non-Olympic time periods. CBS
averaged a 14.7 rating in prime time.

ABC had a 12.8 rating, and NBC an 11.7.

CBS also claimed five of the sweep‘s Top 10
regularly scheduled programs, including the No.
1, “60 Minutes."

The Olympics numbers, like the rising tide,
lifted other CBS boats as well.

The Olympics morning show, featuring the
“CBS This Morning" anchors and production
team, won their time period for the first time.

The “CBS Evening News" finished second for
the sweep. but won last week's newscmt ratings
for the first time since 1992.

And “Late Show with David Letterman,"
which sent Letterman's mother to Norway to
cover the games, posted its highest-ever daily

and weekly ratings during the sweep.

“Late Show“ beat its own premiere night and
topped NBC‘s “Tonight" show by 58 percent in
hogzeholds and 92 percent among adults ages 18
to .

Poltrack said three factors helped build CBS'
overwhelming Olympic sweeps victory.

First was the Tonya Harding-Nancy Kerrigan
figure skating controversy.

The nights they competed were the fourth-
and sixth-most-watched broadcasts in TV histo-
ry.
In addition, viewers still had positive memo-
ries of CBS’ coverage of the Albertville, France,
winter games in 1992, which drew 184 million
viewers.

“They came back earlier and they watched
longer," Poltrack said. And, on nights when
there were no major American victories or high-
appeal sports. CBS “smoothed out the valleys"
with feature stories and profiles of competitors.

“Skating was a major promotional factor."
Poltrack said, “but for whatever reason people
came into the Olympics, they stayed. they en-
joyed themselves, and they’ll be back."

GREENVILLE, S.C. — A pellet
gun sniper targeting cars along In-
terstate 85 struck again yesterday,
in spite of deputies patrolling on the
ground and in the air.

In 10 days, someone has shot at
least 26 cars, most on a mile-long
stretch of highway bordered by pine
trees, a river, a sewage treatment
plant and a television factory.

Deputies in camouflage suits are
hiding in the trees, and spotters
with binoculars are on the high
ground along the highway, a major
business route between Charlotte,
NC, and Atlanta that the AAA
Carolinas motor club says is used
by 64,000 vehicles daily.

The only injury has been to a
teen-age girl hit in one eye by glass
when a shot went through a van
window, but drivers are getting
jumpy. Jo Ann Surrett, a reserva-
tions clerk at a nearby motel, said
she's started taking a different exit

“l'm not as afraid as if it were a
real gun, but I still don't want my
car to get hit," she said.

The situation is different front I-
295 at Jacksonville, Fla, where a
series of sniper attacks in 1992 led
the national AAA to tell motorists
to avoid the area, said Lee Morris, a
spokesman for AAA Carolinas.

That series of attacks involved
weapons that could kill, Morris
said. “This is one guy with a BB
gun."

The Greenville County sheriff‘s
department has increased patrols,
and used unmarked cars, blood-
hounds and a helicopter, but the
sniper keeps slipping away.

Authorities have said there may
be copycat snipers now. Most vehi-
cles have been hit around the Maul-
din Road exit on Greenville's south
side, where the latest vehicle was
shot at early yesterday. But two oth-
ers were hit Tuesday about five
miles away.

“It's driving us crazy,” said sher-
iff‘s Lt. Sam Simmons.

TAMPA, Fla. -- Seven
months ago, Kimberly Mays took
the stand in a custody battle and
tearfully recounted how she
pleaded with the father who
raised her after she was switched
at birth in a hospital. “le
don’t let them take me away."

Now she has nm aWay from
home to a Sarasota YMCA
Youth Shelter for troubled teens.
She voluntarily went to the shel-
ter with the signed permission of
Bob Mays, who won custody at a
hearing in which the judge said
Kimberly never had to see her bi-
ological parents again.

“Kimberly Mays is experienc-
ing adolescent difficulties that
are not uncommon for youth to-
day,“ said a statement from Jack
Greer. the shelter's executive di-
rector.

"Ihere are absolutely no alle-
gations of abuse of any kind in-
volved in this voluntary admis-
sion."

Kimberly has been at the shel-
ter since last week.

 

“I don’t think it has anything
to do with the litigation or the
decision in the case. It has to do
with Kimberly being a teen-
ager," attorney George Russ said
yesterday.

Russ helped the 15-year-old
severe ties with her birth parents
Ernest and Regina Twigg last
August, ending a bitter, high-

profile battle between the
Twiggs and Mays over custody
and visitation rights.

Kimberly was described by

Kimberly was switched with
another child just after birth in
1978. The swap came to light af-
ter Arlena, the child raised by the
Twiggs, died of a heart defect in
1988.

“The last five years all the
pressure on Kim has caused her
to have some problems," Russ
said. He would not elaborate.

"It is not as serious as every-
one would like to think it is,"
Russ said, adding he had spoken
with Mays and his wife, Darlena
"Ihey would like to keep it a pri-
vate matter."

For the second straight Senior
Night, the UK Wildcats withstood
a last-second long-shot attempt to
escape with a narrow victo-
ry. This time, make it No. 7
UK 80, No. 19 Florida 77.

last year, the Cats edged
Auburn University 80-78 as
Wesley Person‘s 28-foot
buzzer-beater clanged in
and out of the rim. Last
night. Florida's Dan Cross

unanswered prayer.

game to play. But it wasn‘t easy.

“We had a good, old-fashioned
fight on our hands." UK coach Rick
Pitino said.

Florida (22-6. 11-4) raced out to
a 20-6 run to open the game. The
Flat Cats, perhaps still a misty-eyed
from the senior ceremonies and
“My Old Kentucky Home,"
couldn't find the bucket.
hitting just 2 of their first 10
shots. They shot 36 percent
in the first half to UF’s 63
percent.

Florida's lead ballooned
out to 19 at 33-14, and the
Gators were up by 10 at the
break.

But the Cats proved again

  
    
    

The Gator guard dribbled I'lllm that no hill is impossible to

the length of the floor with

five seconds left and flung a con-
tested 29-footer over two Big Blue
defenders. Cross‘ toss hit the top of
the backboard before sailing out of
bounds.

“They smothered his shot," UF
center Dametn’ Hill said.

“That‘s not the way we drew it
up," Cross said.

With the win. UK (23-5. 12-3)
takes a one-game lead over the Ga-
tors in the Southeastern Confer-
ence‘s East Division with one

  
 
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
   
 
  
 
 
   
   
 
  
  
 
 
 
 
  
 
   
  

climb. Not even a 6-foot-7,
290-pound Hill with a hook shot.
The mountain of a man in the mid-
dle bruised and battered his way to
17 points in a physical, Florida-
style game.

But as has become their trade-
mark, UK whittled away the lead
with timely threes, defensive inten-
sity and a press that takes its toll on
tiring teams.

“They just kind of keep gobbling
it up bit by bit," Honda coach Lon
Kruger said.

Cardiac Cats break Florida’s heart

The first Big Blue lead didn't
come until 4:43 left. when Travis
Ford‘s three made it 67-66. An-
other Ford threc pushed the margin
to four. and the Cats held on at the
foul line to hold off feisty Florida.

Ford wasn't even certain to play
tonight after straining his right
hamstring against Georgia on Sun-
day. Hamstring, schmamstn'ng.
The senior point guard, bothered
only by foul trouble (he had four),
hit 4 of his 6 three-pointers for 12
points.

Two sophomores also helped
preserve the 30—year Senior Night
winning streak. Tony Delk and Ro-
drick Rhodes each had 18. Delk
had 10 in the first half, while
Rhodes put in 15 in the second,
two on a dazzling fake pass which
left him with an open baseline lay-
up.

“The second half, I always come
out ready to play again," said
Rhodes, who once again picked up
two first half fouls. “I‘m a mad-

u

man.
The Cats held the Gators to just
28 percent shooting in the second
half. Cross and backcourt mate
Craig Brown were both held under
their averages of 15 points per

“Our defense was outstanding in
the second half," Pitino said. “We
trapped tonight as well as we've
ever trapped.“

The first half featured more boos
than a “Casper the Friendly Ghost"
episode as the crowd of 2A, 307
howled at several questionable
calls.

DOWN AND
The UK bench was slapped with our; Florida's
a technical after one call as Pitino
an Cross
accidentaUy knocked over a cup of :0” to break
water on the scorer‘s table. UF
made one of two technical shots. a UK trap dur-

ing last night's
game at Rupp
Arena. The
Cats beat Flori-
da 80-77 to
take a one-
game lead in
the SEC East-
ern Division.

So once again. another game
went down to the very last whistle.
Would these Cardiac Cats have it
any other way?

“This has been a season of sea-
sons," Pitino said. “Your heart is in
your mouth with these guys almost
every game, every possession."
