Councfl
overrides
water veto

By Elizabeth Troutman
IME unrucxv mm

The Lexington-Fayette Ur-
ban County Council ended at-
tempts to condemn Kentucky
American Water Co. last
night in a 94 vote to override
Mayor Teresa Isaac's veto.

Isaac vetoed a resolution
to end proceedings toward the
condemnation last week.

Councilman David Stevens
was absent from last night's
vote.

Vice Mayor Mike Scanlon
called the override a turning
point.

“I think any progress
made is good for Lexington."
he said. “We made progress
tonight."

Scanlon said the override
restricts Isaac from further
exercising authority over the
issue.

“I am pleased that con-
demnation is ending.“ Scan-
lon said. “I am pleased that a
long. drawn out process is
coming to an end. I am happy
that substantially this is be-
hind us now and that a corpo
rate citizen can go back to
managing the water compa-
ny"

A three-member negotia-
tion committee appointed by
Scanlon met with Kentucky
American in a series of settle-
ment discussions in the past
two weeks. The committee re-
turned to the council last
night with several settlement
proposals.

Proposals include the wa-
ter company's duty to fill all
city pools. the continuation of
Kentucky American‘s com-
mitment to charitable and
civic initiatives. and the im.
plementation of a customer
call center to handle customer
services issues.

The council did not vote
on the findings last night. The
proposals of the negotiation
committee, comprising
Jacques Wigginton. Kevin
Stinnett and David Stevens.
will be reviewed by attorneys
and returned to the council in
two weeks for a vote.

Scanlon will appoint three
council members to oversee
the arrangement of the docu-
ments by attorneys today

The council first voted to
end the condemnation of Ken-
tucky American in January.
but the decision was reversed
by Isaac‘s veto the following
week.

Isaac proposed local own-
ership of Kentucky American
in 2002. Kentucky American
is currently owned by Ger
man conglomerate RWE.

Second District Council-
man Jacques Wigginton held
the swing vote of the council
but suggested a formal negoti-
ation process to finalize the is-
sue. Wigginton voted to over-
ride last night.

He said settlement meet-
ings with Kentucky-Ameri—
can lasted only one to two
hours.

“What we have is an
agreement in concept and
term." he said. “It's a good
day in that it‘s out in the pub
lic; it's what the public can ex-
pect. And i think that‘s what
people wanted to see.‘

middle of Rose Street. the
university couldn‘t do any-
thing because it’s public prop-
erty" said Tony Blanton. the
assistant dean of students.

If such an incident were
to occur. the only measures
UK could take with the cur-
rent policy would be to re-
move the victim from a class

if he or she shared that class
with the offender. And that
would only be if the victim
agreed. Blanton said.

The revision would allow
the university to deal with
specific types of violent
crime if the crime occurred
off campus between two stu-
dents or a student and an em-
ployee of the university

This is one of three rev1-
sions to the code proposed by
the Office of Student Affairs.
Pat Terrell. vice president for

student affairs. said this is
the first full revision of the
code since it was written in
1967.

The revision of the code
was drafted by a subcommit-
tee of the Student Code Com-
mittee. which is made up of
UK faculty: staff and stu-
dents.

These changes do not in-
clude academic offenses.

Brad Hartsock. a student
member of the Student Code
Committee and food science

junior. said he is not in favor
of giving UK jurisdiction ex-
cept in certain circum-
stances.

“I am against such a pro»
vision except in the most ex-
treme cases.“ Hartsock said.
“as this could open the door
to the university disciplining
students for drinking viola-
tions or other nonviolent
crimes which the Lexington
government has already dealt
with. and the university has
no business dealing with."

 

Hartsock said the univer-
sity’s legal counsel tended to
agree with him on that point.
but “nothing is concrete just
vet."

The second change would
eliminate the University Ju-
dicial Board. which deals
with violations of the code in
regards to the university It
would be replaced by eight to
10 hearing officers who would
individually deal with cases.

At least two members of the most popir
lous species of hawk in Kentucky have un-
commonly made their home on llK‘s catn-
pits. said biology professor David Westneat.

Red-tailed hawks have beeti known to eat
squirrels. chipmunks. mice. snakes and
lizards. ()n more rare occasions. the hawks
will hunt rabbits.

“In a day. they maybe eat one squirrel."
Westneat said. “Of course. if they have a
nest with nestlings. they‘ll be feeding them
pretty constantly "

Occasionally. the hawks take baby birds
from other nests. but their size is a factor in
those efforts. Westneat said. “They‘re not
very good at taking birds out of nests be
cause they‘re so big.“

An adult red-tailed hawk catches a squirrel for a meal. The hawks are the second-most common in the state.

The red-tailed hawks live in Kentucky
year round. but they‘ve usually found a
mate and are starting to breed in the early
spring. Westneat said.

Red-tailed hawk hatclilings take at least
two months before leaving the nest. That's a
fairly long time. Westneat said. but the
hawks won't leave the nest until they are
ready to lly

"Of course. there‘s not very many preda-
tors of them.” Westneat said. referring to
their size, “Their nests are very high up."

Scientists do not know the simiiiicance
of the red color in the hawk‘s tail. Westneat
said the color red doesn't appear until adult-
hood. so it could be a sign of age. lint it's
also puzzling that both sexes have the col
ored tail

Cats keep dancing on Potts’ 31

Baptiststude—IES
offer alternative
response to gays

Open Door group hopes to provide support
for those ‘struggling' with seme identity

By Keren Henderson

THE KENTUCKY KENNEL

Dissatisfied with some evangelical Christians’ response
to homosexuality five students from the Baptist Student
Union have started Open Door. an organization for students
“struggling" with their sexual orientation.

“It seemed to us that there was very little being done by
the Christian community to address homosexuality.” said
Jeremy Tackett. a commu~
nication senior who helped
start the group this semes-
ter. “And the only efforts
anyone has seen so far
have been negative."

Open Door is the first
organization of its kind in
UK history and the only
one at a Kentucky univer-
sity. Tackett said the group.
which meets every Monday
for discussion. is not de-
signed to fight the gay and lesbian community

“We are not a protest group. btit a support group." he
said. “Our only purpose is to serve as one part of an effort to
help people leave the homosexual lifestyle who have chosen
to do so.“

Jonathan Bopp. former president of Lambda. UK's stu-
dent organization for gay. lesbian. bisexual and transgender
students. said he thinks the students responsible for Open
Door have good intentions.

At the same time. he said he questions their ability to
keep the positive image they claim.

He said he sees a disconnect between "we love you" and
“we think you are going to hell."

"It comes out as not very heartfelt." he said.

Although he disagrees with the group‘s position on ho
mosexuality. Bopp said the organization could be helpful for
some students.

“There are people out there looking for a group like
that." he said. "They are finally away from their parents and
dealing with their feelings for the same sex but don‘t want
them. Maybe they've gotten into the wrong crowd. A group
like Open Door would be a good way to deal with that."

Members from other (‘hristian groups on campus said
they support Open Door. Some said they questioned the idea
that the (‘hristian community is mostly negative toward ho
niosexuality

It‘s not possible to generalize about the Christian re-
sponse since it is so varied. said Stephanie Short. president
of (‘hristian Student Fellowship.

“I know that the church that I attend in the Lexington
community has resptmded to homosexuality with the love of
Christ." she said.

Each Open Door meeting is a little different depending
on who shows up. Tackett said. but one thing always re-
mains the same all discussion is confidential.

t‘hris Stump. a communication sophomore who lefi the
homosexual lifestyle two years ago. said the group is a com-
fortable place to talk.

“I would have come to a gmup like this when l was strug-
gling with it.“ he said. “I wanted to change and knew I need-
ed help. ’l‘hey can talk about those things and do a good job
cominunimting the loving Christian view."

Schiavo case also a political battle

Eykichard Simon And Janet Hook
Los ”roofs imts

WASHINGTON After
Congress' high-profile entry
into the Terri Schiavo case.
most lawmakers responded
in a low-key manner to
Thursday's Supreme Court
decision not to intervene in
the dispute. underscoring
the delicate political nature
of the controversy

The measured reactions
came as polls have shown
public disapproval of Wash-
ington‘s actiotis in the case.

The terse statements
from Capitol Hill to the
Supreme Court's
decision contrasted
with the spate of
news conferences at
week ago. when
several lawmakers
began pushing leg-
islation to allow
federal courts to re—
view the Schiavo
case.

House Majority
Leader Tom Deliay.
R-Texas. who
spearheaded that
drive. issued a joint
statement with
House Judiciary Committee
Chairman l“. James Sensen-
brenner Jr. R-Wis.. express-
ing “profound sadness and
disappointment" with the
court decision.

But they suggested there
was nothing else that Con
gress could do in the case.

issue!’

When a student is accused
of a violation, he or she has
the opportunity to admit or
deny the violation. If a stu»
dent denied committing the
violation. the judicial hoard
would hear the case.

Both Terrell and Blanton
said the judicial board has
never been used.

“We have no record that
that body has ever met
ever." Blanton said.

However. Blanton said it
is only a matter of time until
someone will most likely
deny a violation and some
form of judicial process will
be needed.

As the code stands. if the
judicial board was needed. a
court would be assembled.

About lot) letters would be
sent out randomly to stu
dents. and the hrst its that re
sponded would be considered
to serye as a type of _]lll‘_\ to
hear the case. Blanton said.

Students would haye the
opportuniti ioopt out if they
could not lie itiipartial or felt
connected to the case.

The case would most like
ly be chaired by someone
from the (‘ollege ot Law who
would serve as a monitor to
make sure things ran proper

Majority Whip Roy

said he was “outraged" by

Democratic leaders did
not comment on the court
decision. perhaps a reflec—
tion of how the issue had di-
vided their rank and file.
“This has got to be one of
the most emotional. gut-
wrenching issues that Con-
gress has debated for many
years." said an aide to a De-

ly. Blanton said.

In the end. the student
panel would decide if the ac-
cused student had committed
the violation.

This process would only
deal with the side of the vio-
lation regarding the universi
tV.

If the student were to be
arrested as a result of the vio
lation. that student would go
through outside legal
processes as well. Blanton
said.

The proposed
revision would re-
place the entire
process with indi-
vidual hearing of-
ficers who would
hear both the side
of the student and
the side of the uni-
versity to reach a
decision.

Hearing offi-
cers would be im-
partial and prop-
erly trained to conduct hear-
ings. Blanton said.

Blanton said that the
court proceedings could take
up to three months to be as-
sembled and reach a decision.
but that the proposed change
could cut down the time to
two weeks.

“It would be more flexible
and make the process a lot

The muted response from
Capitol Hill to the court deci-
sion came as a CBS NeWS
Poll released Wednesday
showed 82 percent ,, includ-
ing a majority of evangeli-
cals disapproved of Con-
gress" intervention in the
case.

Nearly three fourths of
those surveyed expressed
“widespread cynicism"
about lawmakers’ motives.

Given the polls. members
of both parties said it would
be difficult for politicians to
highlight the Schiavo case in
next year‘s House and Sen-
ate campaigns without ap-
pearing to try to exploit a
family tragedy for political
gain.

“I think it‘s tough for
anybody to use as an elec-
tion issue." said Carl Forti. a

But the case has emerged
as an issue in at least one
possible matchup in 2006.

Ron Klein. a Democratic
state senator from Florida.
assailed Rep. Clay Shaw. R~

vote on the Schiavo bill.
which occurred just past
midnight on Monday morn-
ing. Klein. who plans to run
for Shaw‘s seat. said. “19 of
his colleagues from the
Florida delegation were able
to make it back to Washing-
ton for this emergency ses-
sion."

to the University Appeals
Board.

Finally language in the
code could be changed.

Blanton said the code is
currently full of legal jargon
that is difficult to understand.

“We want to make it more
user friendly." he said.

Hartsock agreed that
some of the wording needs to
be changed.

“Many students would be
surprised how much time can
go into a single word as the
different meanings
between 'shall' and
‘must' hold different
legal meanings in
court." Hartsock
said.

The Student Code
Committee has re-
viewed and approved
the proposed revi-
sions.

Blanton said the
changes will soon be
posted online for
public comment.

Once the comments are
received. the committee will
make any necessary revi-
sions before sending the final
proposal to President Lee
Todd and the Board of
Trustees.

If passed by the Board of
Trustees. the new code of
conduct could be in effect as
soon as fall 2005.

AUSTIN, Texas ,_ Just

minutes after Saturday's 6960

win over Cincinnati to ad-
vance to the Sweet 16, a few
UK players were already look-
ing ahead.

A little further ahead than
some of their teammates
would have liked.

As they huddled around an

casting the conclusion of the
West Virginia-Wake Forest
game, one UK player pointed
out the Cats were on a direct
path to meet Duke in the Re
gional Finals.

look ahead."
snapped sophomore forward
Bobby Perry, as if the demise
of the No. 2 seed Demon Dea-
cons wasn’t enough for his
teammates to concentrate on
the next step. The other UK
players immediately agreed.
and Perry said that was the
last he'd heard of the Blue
Devils from anyone on the UK
roster.

“We're concentrating on
this one game and this one
game only," Perry said. “We
did it in the first two rounds.
and we’re looking forward to
doing it here in the regionals.
So hopefully everybody is stay-
ing focused on Utah, because
you certainly can‘t look past
them.”

Tonight will mark the
sixth meeting in the last 11
NCAA Tournaments between
UK and Utah. While the Cats
dominated the first five games
— winning all five by an aver-
age of 18.8 points per game —
senior forward Chuck Hayes
said the past has nothing to do
with tonight's contest.

“There's different coaches.
different players." Hayes said.
“History shows that Kentucky
has always been able to get the

ferent year.”

After the UK's win over Cincinnati last Saturday night, many of the players gathered around the television in the
RCA Dome locker room to watch Wake Forest lose to West Virginia. UK faces Utah at 7 tonight in the Sweet 16.

This year’s Utah squad
boasts arguably the best player
in the country in sophomore
center Andrew Bogut. and an
experienced backcourt in se-
nior Marc Jackson and junior
Tim Drisdom.

Hayes said mental prepara-
tion will be the key if UK is to
defeat the Utes and have any
chance of a Regional Final
showdown with Duke.

“It's all mental." he said.
“You are what you are physi-
cally: you aren't going to jump
any higher so you have to pre
pare mentally. I think this
team is doing well. and I think
we have the right mindset."

While the Utah game is
clearly the dominant matter
on the minds of UK players. it
takes the mere mention of
Mike Krzyzewski and J.J.
Redick to ignite the passion
that has highlighted the UK

Duke rivalry over the past few
years.

Though the two teams
have met only twice in the
NCAA Tournament since 1980.
both games had a trip to the Fi-
nal Four on the line. and both
became indisputable instant
classics.

In 1992. it was Duke‘s
Christian Laettner who hit a
17-footer at the buzzer to defeat
the Cats 104103 in overtime. in
what some consider the great-
est college basketball game
ever played.

Six years later. it was UK
that rallied from a 17-point
deficit with less than 10 min-
utes remaining to overtake the
Blue Devils 8684 and send the
Cats to their third straight Fi-
nal Four.

And if anybody questions
UK‘s incentive for winning
this game. the specter of the
Blue Devils will be there to
spur on the Cats.

chance to play them." Perry

motivation right there."

“WISH"

Q: What prompted you to run for SC president?

A: I've been too busy. doing my undergraduate. But I've de
cided I'm going to have enough titne I'm going into grad
school for the first year to just really sit down. I‘ve been really
involved in certain clubs and different issues. I see everything
that's going wrong. nobody‘s doing anything. id like someone to

 

 

Q: What prompted you to run for SC president?

A: I want to improve student life on l'K's campus. That in
volves the three “E's" that I have Educate. Empower. Elevate.
I want to educate students about what their rights are. as stu»
dents and as citizens at UK and in Lexington. 1 want to empow-
er them with the knowledge that if they walk into the office of
an administrator or official that Student Government is walk
ing in with them. and they are to be treated fairly and be re-
spected. Last. I want to elevate what it truly means to be a UK
student and put UK students first on this campus. I really feel
like college is an investment. and that the students who go here
needed to be treated like stockholders of that investment.

Q: Should you be elected. what is your No. 1 priority?

A: My No. 1 priority is student life. We've got a lot of plat-
form issues dealing with that "Student Rights Week" will be
the first thing that will happen in the fall. Also. the Student Life
Handbook is something we want to be working on during the
summer And beyond that. communications. communications.
communications with the student body so they know what‘s go
ing on with SG. We've heard a lot of complaints about that from
students over the past few months. and we're going to work on
the newsletter. which will be distributed to everyone. Also.
we‘re going to make sure the (‘abinet for ('ampus ()utreach is in
ftill swing at the beginning of the school year making sure that
we reach out to as many students as we can.

Q: What is SO currently doing well. and where could it
improve?

A: I think we're doing very well as far as sei‘y ices go. I think
some areas that we can improve upon are commiinication. let
ting students know about what we do. where we stand and in-
volvement with SG. And so what I've been doing is talking to a
great variety of students. seeing what they want to do and let
ting thetn know what we're doing. what kind of st‘l'\'li‘('.\ St}
has. Some of my bigger platform issues are rea him: out to
them. making sure that they know what's going on and making
sure that they have access to everything that they do

Q: Why should students care about the outcome of this
election?
A: I‘ve been telling a lot of people that those two i‘lt'i‘iittil

Q: What prompted you to run for 80 President?

A: We decided we wanted improvement in two main areas:
accessibility and diversity. If we make Student Government
more diverse. students are going to feel like they can approach
their leaders and share problems. concerns. opinions. whatever
they might have. Diversity plays into that. because you want

just get involved. and I've got enough time now. They passed the
bylaw where you don't have to have previous experience (to run
for St] president). I can actually get in there and do something.

Q: Should you be elected. what is your No. 1 priority?

A: Voter registration and voter drives. It's cheap. too , does-
n‘t cost a dime. We can make SG a volimteer organization. If a
student wants to help out. get involved with your philanthropic
orgzuiization. Go downtown. Sometimes people don‘t feel like go
ing out in 25~degree weather to do that stuff. SG can have stuff
