the interior

MIKE cosnLLA | KENNEL STAFF

Although most people see work being done on the outside, the interior of Barker Hall is getting a facelift as well.

Barker Hall and Buell Armory are getting a
renovation from the inside out.

By John Wampler
NEWS EDITOR

The outside of Barker Hall isn't
the only part getting a face-lift.
While a new ﬁre escape is being put
in outside to make the building
safer. many changes have been go-
ing on inside as well.

“It's been a long time since the
building has had an inside facelift."
said Army Lieutenant Colonel
Michael Inman.

Along with help from some de-
partments at UK. Army ROTC
cadets and Army officers have
made. many aspects of Barker Hall
and the attached Buell Armory
now look different. with more
changes planned.

The new image of Buell Ar»
mory and Barker Hall is due large-
ly to Inman's “Improve the Camp"
campaign. Inman explained that
“Improve the Camp" is an old so]-
dier‘s term that applies to the idea
every day you‘re in living quarters.
you try to make it better. more live-
able.

With $7.000 in alumni funds.
and another $8.000 from the depart-
ment of Arts and sciences. Work

started in October. and is still ongo-
ing.

Nine cadets who had graduated
in the spring and had stayed on as
lieutenants were given the chore of
repainting the gray walls of Buell
Armory white this summer. doing
the job in approximately four days.
Inman said.

“They left a legacy behind. I'm
just so proud of what they did." he
added.

In the new Cadet Resource
Center in Barker Hall. cadets laid
carpeting and installed wooden
paneling.

UK I’PI) has also aided in re—
pair jobs inside and out in Barker
Hall. and Inman commended them
for the job they have done.

UK‘s Communications depart-
ment ﬁxed the building's faulty
electrical system. which used to
short out if too many high voltage
items were being used at once. In-
man said.

There are currently exposed
wires for their telephone system.
however. the Communications de-
partment will once again be com-
ing to the building‘s aid. They will

re-route all the wires, and replace
switch-boxes that are probably 30
40 years old. Inman said.

While many improvements
have been made. there remains
much to be done. For instance. The
building has only one unisex re-
stroom to serve what can be up to
250 students a day. Inman said.

Right now. the building is not
handicapped-accessible. The eleva-
tor needed to make it so would cost
between $800 .000 and 900.000. In
man explained.

Money is one of the big prob-
lems facing Barker Hall. Inman
said that estimates made a few
years ago put renovations for the
building at 4.5 million. while a com-
plete rebuilding would only cost
$300000 more.

Army Sergeant First Class Jim
Martin said that they were trying
to do what they could to improve
the building. because there was the
fear that it might be torn down

For such a reason. Inman feels
the renovations are important.

"I think this building is a trea<
sure. and we need to preserve it."
he said.

Todd, a biology junior and SGA senator at-large. decided to

styrene material that makes up Styrofoam in the new cups. She
found mostly propaganda from manufacturers of each product.
but after wading through all the information, her beliefs about

Many environmentally conscious students
cringed when they saw styrofoam cups on cam-

lndeed. styrofoam has a bad repu—
tation for cancer-causing CFCs
(chloro-flouro-carbons) used in produc-
tion and because it takes longer to
break down in landfills than paper.
Todd notes however. that the styro-
foam Food Services uses is CFC-free
and landfills are designed to store
garbage, not break it down.

long time to degrade in a landﬁll and
many people would argue that trees are
not as renewable of a resource.

Raitz offers a solution to circumvent the argument: buy a
reusable cup and carry it around to reﬁll. Reﬁlls at Food Ser~
vices are only 49 cents. and Food Services even sells reusable
cups. complete with lids and capable of containing hot or cold
drinks.

Raitz calls the reusable cups a win-win situation for all r~
cheap reﬁlls, a protected environment and the elimination of a
Food Service cost.

Raitz will be at a forum tomorrow with Jim Turek of In-
ternational Plastics Council, a recycling company. Jennifer
Thompson. of the Natural Resources Leadership Institute will
moderate the discussion on the advantages and disadvantages
of styrofoam and wax paper and the Food Services‘s decision
to switch to styrofoam.

Musharaf takes over in Pakistan

Military coup successful in overthrowing Pakistan
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. So, now what?

ASSOCIATED PRESS

ISLAMABAI). Pakistan A
day after his forces overthrew the
democratically elected government.
Pakistan’s army chief Pervaiz
Musharaf showed no signs today
that he planned to relinquish power
any time soon

Pentagon spokesman Kenneth
Bacon played down worries over
Pakistan‘s nuclear weapons pro-
gram. saying in Washington that
the coup had not changed the situa-
tion since control of the weapons
program had always been in the
hands of the military.

Musharraf has given no hint of
his plans since his troops staged
Tuesday's coup and put ousted
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif un-

der house arrest in Islamabad. Pake
istan‘s capital.

Outside government offices in
the capital today. scores of confused
civil servants pressed against the
shuttered gates seeking answers
from the soldiers standing guard in-
side.

The coup took place less than
an hour after Sharif announced he
had fired Mush rraf. The army
chief. who was on a visit to Sri Lan»
ka. returned home as his troops
moved through the main cities.

Soldiers seized the central TV
building. took over the houses of
several top ministers and closed
airports in Islamabad and other
cities.

Pakistanis largely welcomed
the lightning move. Many danced

in the streets and waved flags. cele-
brating the ouster of a prime minis»
ter who had become increasingly
unpopular because of a deteriorat-
ing economy and his ongoing pow-
er struggle with political opponents
and the military.

In a nationally televised ad»
dress at 3 am. local time yesterday.
Musharraf accused Sharifs goveme
ment of “systematically destroy-
ing" state institutions and driving
the economy toward collapse.

“I wish to inform you that the
armed forces have moved in as a
last resort to prevent further desta-
bilization.“ Musharraf said.

The general urged calm and
promised “very soon" to announce
his plans for Pakistan‘s future. He
did not elaborate.

It wasn‘t clear whether he
would follow Pakistan's constitu~
tion. which calls for elections with

Dorms declare penny war

By Britt Clem

communes watt—tn

Many events are held i‘iit'll year
between rival dorms at UK in the
name of bragging rights. But one
competition that sets every dorm
against the rest is the annual Penny
Wars Competition sponsored by the
Residence Hall Association.

The Seventh Annual Penny Wars
began yesterday. and will continue
until November 10.

“(The competition) has always
been a wonderful success. and it‘s a
fabulous program." said RHA Vice-
President. Sie Keith, a junior psy~
chology major.

The object of this competition is
for each dorm to raise money for Pre»
vent Child Abuse Kentucky. formerly
the Kentucky Council on Child
Abuse. Charlene Mullins. Public Edu~
cation Coordinator for the program
said its mission is to prevent child
abuse and neglect throughout Ken-
tucky.

Unlike other fundraising compe-
titions. the Penny Wars have an in
teresting twist. While all funds raised
will count towards the monetary total

given. only pennies count for points
in the competition. Points are deduct-
ed for all silver change and dollar
bills. so one strategy to win is to put
silver coin and dollar bills in another
dorm‘s jug. explained RHA President
Angela Krumdieck.

Part of the Penny War’s focus is
to emphasize that even those who
don‘t have tnuch to give can still
help. its motto is “every penny
counts. every child counts.”

All participating dorms will re-
ceive a certificate. and the winning
ball will be announced in the Kernel.
There will also be a prize for the win-
ner. which has yet to be determined.

“There used to be a traveling
plaque passed around (to the winning
halls). but it is being discontinued
this year because it has faded out,"
Krumdeick said.

Last year's total dollar amount
raised was $1431. Mullins said. All the
money raised will be used to fund Pre-
vent Child Abuse Kentucky's 24-hour.
statewide. toll—free parents help line.

Mullins said that the organiza-
tion hopes to make the competition
even bigger next year. and include
not only rival dorms. but also other
Kentucky schools.

CONIRIBUIINC- WRlI—ER

The Kentucky Police Corps
is a program designed to get
qualiﬁed students serving Ken-
tucky communities. For four
years students receive up to
$30,000 in scholarships and full
salary and beneﬁts in exchange
for working

“Oh, heck yeah; I‘d do it ifl
had the chancel“ said Steve
Buttes, a freshman Spanish ma-
jor. “Even ifI had to bust my
friends" parties."

The program entails a little
more than just “busting" par-
ties, though.

“We're looking for someone
who can produce quality in
serving the community." said
Senior Law Enforcement Train-
ing Instructor Cindy Hale.
“This program is highly com
petitive. We screen applicants
very thoroughly The people we
accept are top quality people
who have met vigorous require
ments and who. we believe, can
handle the training. which is

designed to bring forth charac
ter. integrity. and the motiva-
tion to strive toward excellence.
Ethics is the golden cord inter-
twined in every aspect of this
police training."

'I‘hat training is a 16 to 24
week program paid for by the
federal government that teach-
es the information and skills
necessary to become a police of-
ficer on community patrol. Col-
lege graduates who qualify go
through the. program the sum-
mer after graduation. then
work in a sheritt or police
agency in Kentucky that needs
help on community patrol.

The first four graduates of

the training program are cur-
rently stationed at the Bard-

was also the first African Anterr

While Lyman T. Johnson

“My face hurt from smiling
so much at the genuine and
friendly students smiling back
at me," Wilkinson said.

She recalls being in the top
of a few of her classes.

“Being the only African
American in a class never cott-
cerned me." Wilkinson said. “i
enjoyed my undergraduate
years here. and I was fortunate
to have had caring teachers.“

After her trainittg at l'K.
Wilkinson went on to get a Mas-
ters in sociology and a “(K‘ttil'itlt‘
in Medical sociology at (‘ase

’ Western Reserve University in

Cleveland.

While working on her doc-
toral dissertation in 1967.
Wilkinson was hired as an in-
structor at UK.

Wilkinson‘s history at UK
has allowed her to experience
the changes that have occurred

in the past 30 years. She said
that the campus has become con

“But it has important conse
quences.“ he said. “They are
saying nicotine is an addictive
product. Now they should agree
to FDA regulation. What oth-
er addictive substance is not
regulated by the FDA?"

The ad campaign comes as
tobacco companies remain un~
der attack from the federal gov-
ernment. health insurers and
public health advocates who
want the industry to help pay
the costs of treating sick smokr
ers and to discourage children
from starting to smoke.

The company's TV ads were
to begin running during today‘s
baseball playoff games and will
appear on high-profile shows.

In addition to its tobacco op-
erations. Philip Morris owns
Miller Brewing (To. and Kraft
Foods. which makes .JeIl-().

Maxwell House coffee and Oscar
Mayer meats. lts US. tobacco
company is Philip Morris l'SA.

Parrish said the campaign
should edticate people that
Philip Morris is more than a to
bacco company that makes the
best-selling Marlboro cigarettes.

Itt one commercial. an elr
derly woman expresses her ap
preciation for tangerines attd
other food site has been receiv
ing from a food bank supported
by Kraft Foods.

Another ad tells the story of
a women abused by her lins-
band attd how she rebttilt her
life and kept her children safe
with help frotn a program for
abused women to which Philip
Morris has contributed. A third
ad recounts how Miller Brewing
supplied bottled water to flood
victims.
