Students lose 133 parking spots

By Perry Brothers

The number of available student
and faculty arking spaces will shrink
this year as t e construction fences rise
around the site for the yet-to-be-fund-
ed Central and Life Sciences Library.

Soil testin for the roposed devel-
opment will egin wit in the next few
weeks, officials said. The General
Assembly didn’t approve funding for
the library this year, and the next regu-
lar meeting of the legislature is in
1996.

Still, 263 employee spaces in the
area surrounding Clifton Circle have
been eliminated.

Cash registers ringing as students mean
business to shops that surround campus

By Ty Halpln
Assistant Managing Editor

With visions of dollar signs dancing
in their heads, several businesses bor-
dering UK are rolling out the red car-
pet and welcoming students back to
cam us with giveaways and discounts.

he business theory seems to be set
on luring students with sales and
reductions in the hopes that more cus—
tomers will come to the stores. The
shops that are clustered around campus
recognize how much business Univer-
sity students supply.

“Our business almost triples when
school is in session,” said Charles Suits,
manager of Tolly-Ho restaurant on
South Limestone. “\Ve’re probably the
most popular UK hangout.”

Man local businesses focus on pro-
viding ood and drink for their mostly
collegiate patrons. Two Keys Tavern,
a po ular college night spot also on
Sour Limestone, is offering several
5 ecial events to try to stay ahead of
the student-seeking pack.

“Whenever students and teachers
come back, business picks up,” said
Mac McFarland, owner of the restau-

rant and bar. “VVe’re doing lots of
things to try and et ready for it.”

On Monday, wo Keys will raffle
two tickets to the Rolling Stones con-
cert the next day in Cincinnati. Hard-
to—find UK—U of L football tickets will
be given away Sept. 2 at the first of a
series ofweekly Friday night pep rallies
at Two Keys.

In close competition with Two Keys
is BW’-3’s, located just up the street.
Ed Trout, the restaurant’s new manag-
er, said he thinks will be able to meet
students’ needs.

“Being the same age as them, I
understand where they’re coming
from,” said Trout, who is 2 I.

\Vitli computer trivia, an interactive
football game during Mondav night
games and live out-o -state UK games

on a big screen television, Trout thinks
his business will pick up.

“\Ve’re going to get busier and bus-
ier every week from now on,” he said.
“It’s all we can do to try and get ready
for it.”

Going to extremes -— something
college students do quite often —— just
got more extreme at BW-3’s. If you
remember how hot the restaurant’s
Wild wings are, you’re in for a shock to
the system. Two new flavors will be
available this fall: Honey Mustard and
Blazing.

“I can’t even touch the \Vild,”
Trout said. “The Blazing wings are
kind of crazy.”

LOS ANGELES — O.J. Sim son’s defense

U.S. to find havens IOI' Cubans

WASHINGTON -— The Clinton administra-

thousands of Cubans fleeing their country despite a

officials said yesterday.

Reversing a three-decade old policy, President
Clinton has slammed the door on Cubans seeking
asylum. They have been intercepted at sea and sent
to the U.S. naval base in Guantanamo, Cuba.

Those now in Guantanamo —- estimated to be
nearly 3,000 by yesterday’s end — will be sent to
the other countries when facilities are ready.

Bus routes scaled down to improve system

By Perry Brothers
New: Blitor

Hop on the bus, Gus. There’s
a new system in town.

Overcrowded, inefficient
campus buses should be obsolete
thanks to major revisions in UK's
mass transit system.

Don Thornton, director of
Parking and 'l‘ransportation Ser-
vices, said a special committee
developed a plan designed to
improve the bus system in
response to numerous corn-
plaints l) passengers.

“Stur ents spend too much
time waiting for the buses,”
Thornton said, “and students are
spending too much time on the
buses."

Thornton said the “two main
glitches” in the old bus routing

occurred at the Rose Street-
Colurnbia Avenue intersection,
and in front of the Chemistry—
Physics Building, also on Rose
Street.
