Action upsets
some students

By Jacob Clahes
Stafl"Writer

and Stephen Trlmhle
Executive Editor

University officials announced
yesterda that Clifton Circle and
several TEE-lot parking areas will be
closed indefinitely beginning Sun-
day evening.

Dall Clark, a UK project man-
ager, said the lots, including 266
parking spaces for staff, faculty
and students, will close so engi—
neers can complete construction
pre aration for the proposed $58
million Central and Life Sciences
Library.

The announcement was met
with disappointed reactions from
several students and staff who use
the free parking around Clifton
Circle every day.

“Parking is so expensive, and
we should have alternatives,”
undeclared sophomore David
Stewart said.

“Some students who live off
campus don’t have enough hours
to get C (lot) stickers, and K
(lot) is too inconvenient when you
have to 0 back and forth to work
durin t e day,” he said.

“T e University should be
making Clifton Circle into a park-
ing arage instead of a library.”

he area that will be closed
includes most of Clifton Circle
and the gravel lots along
Columbia and Hilltop avenues,
said Joe Burch, vice president for
University Relations.

“Basically, what’s inside the
(construction) fences will be
closed,” he said.

The road connecting Columbia
and Rose Avenues that winds
through the bottom part of
Clifton Circle will stay open for
traffic and parking, Burch said.

Utility lines from above and
below the library site will be relo-
cated as preparation is completed,
Clark said.

Office and construction trailers
also will be moved within the
fences of the Clifton Circle area so
construction can begin on Dec. 1,
Clark said.

Jones vows to tight IIIIS

By Stephen Trlmhle
Executive Editor

T.A. Jones’ “New Spirit” campaign last year asked
students to get involved in student government.

Now, under the pressure of an audit and allega-
tions that he neglected a budget rule in Student Gov-
ernment Association’s Constitution, the student
body leader says he will stay ut unless ordered 0th-

(l’his campaign’s call.

“I’m not going to stop working for the students,
and that’s the bottom line,” Jones said, adding he
would leave his post only ifthe required two-thirds
ofthe Senate voted for his imfeachment.

said simp

Clark added that he is making
the announcement without the
final approval of the Lexington-
Fayette Urban County Council.
Because UK is closing a city street,
it must have the council’s permis-
sion.

On Thursday, council members
will decide whether to issue $41
million in bonds to pay for the
library and whether to allow UK
to close Clifton Circle.

Clark said he is “99.99 percent
sure” that the council will approve
the measures, and UK’s plans will
proceed on track. The council
already endorsed the bond pro-
posal at a work session on Sept. 6.

But the promise of a new
library comes as little comfort for
students who will miss Clifton
Circle’s parking convenience.

Craig Johnson, a finance junior,
said University officials would not
close the parking areas if they
truly had students’ interests at
heart.

“I think this is just another si n
that the University doesn’t ta e
consideration for its students,” he
said.

“They have reduced the num-
ber of free spaces and raised the
prices on all parking passes.”

The rising cost of UK parking
passes also has become a concern
for students who won’t be able to
use the area’s free parking any-
more.

“It is the only parking where
you don’t have to pay $40,” unde-
clared freshman Tony Duncan
said.

“It is ridiculous that we should
have to pay so much for some-
ing so inconvenient as K lot.”

Some students said they think
the construction of the library
should be held up until the Uni-
verSIty is assured it will have the
money to build it.

“I think it is ridiculous that they
are going to start blasting when
the don t even have the money,”
said, Troy Peake, a political sci-
ence senior.

Other students say they will
miss being able to use the area for
recreational urposes.

“It is a s ame,” said physical
thera y freshman Jeff Riccardi, a
memb’er of Sigma Phi Epsilon
social fraternity.

“It was a good place for us to
play ball or catch.”

Tables were set up around the ballroom with rep-

Mills said the preview night provides better infor-

academic college within UK is represented.

“(The preview night) is an example of people giv-

Mills estimated the attendance at about 500 peo-

When he spoke to the Senate two weeks ago, Pat-
terson reminded the senators and Jones that they
should start “studying the facts — the Constitution
and Bylaws — before jumping offin all directions.”

He also suggested to- those at the meeting to settle
their differences and base their judgements on “facts,
not hearsay.”

“I’m just distressed these things are going on,” he
said.

Senator at Large Russell Harper agreed with Pat-
terson’s analo with the nation’s only president to

l-glarper added that like Nixon, who said he
resigned only because the people who elected him
demanded it, Jones should step aside at the Senate’s
or the student body’s mandate.

“I like T.A. as a person,” Harper said. “However,
ifit comes down to (a Senate impeachment vote), I’d
have no choice.”

But Harper preached caution to his fellow sena-
tors if impeachment becomes more than just talk.

“That’s a very drastic measure,” he said. “That’s
cho ping down the whole tree, not just cutting off
the imbs.”
