Administration: classroom renovations are priority

Improvement funds have not been hurt yet;
if budget problem persists. UK may have to cut back

By “all Kill”
communes mum

One classroom. once av
erage. was given a facelift in
August when it was turned
into a practice courtroom
from money in UK‘s class—
room renovation fund.

The room, part of the
College of Law’s US. Senator
Mitch McConnell Center for
Distance Learning. is one of
several to be touched by the
near-$1 million account.

“Classroom improve-
ments are a priority so that
undergraduate. graduate and

professional students and
faculty have access to mod-
ern teaching and learning
environments." said Provost
Michael Nietzel. “It is an on-
going project."

Classroom renovation is
still a priority at UK, despite
a signiﬁcant decrease in
state appropriations. he said.

This is the third straight
year the state has cut appro-
priations to the university.

The 2003-2004 ﬁscal year
total is $308.5 million - $13.7
million less than in 2001-
2002.

“The money for class-
room improvements is devel-
oped annually from the gen-
eral fund (tuition and state
appropriation) and has been
a part of the university‘s
budget for many years." Ni—
etzel said.

This year. the budget set

aside for classroom renova-
tion hasn't been hurt. he
said. However. if the univer-
sity’s budget is cut again.
“this may be a source of
funds that will be affected."

The classroom improve-
ment fund was created in
September 1999. said Mary
Margaret Colliver, head of
UK Public Relations.

In the last year the uni-
versity has completed 16 ren-

ovation projects. including
multiple classrooms.

At a September Board of
Trustees meeting. Todd re-
quested approval of and re-
ceived funds for the renova-
tion and expansion of nu-
merous buildings across
campus. including the UK
Art Museum. the Pilot-Scale
Mineral Processing facility.

Lottery decides seats for sniper trial

Five seats in courtroom will be left open for the public
and a lottery will decide who gets to observe each day

ASSOCIATED PRESS

VIRGINIA BEACH. Va.
—~ Some did it on a whim.
Others are interested in
watching justice at work. One
woman just wanted to get out
of the house.

More than 800 people
have signed up for a lottery to
win a seat for a day in the
courtroom with Washington.
D.C.-area sniper suspect John
Allen Muhammad. whose cap-
ital murder trial starts Tues-
day.

“The last major trial like
this that I can remember
would be the OJ. trial." said
William Dean of Taneytown,
Md.. who doesn't mind dri-
ving 290 miles to attend the
trial if his name is drawn.

Unlike Simpson's Califor-
nia murder trial, the Muham-
mad trial will not be broad-

cast. per the judge‘s orders —
the only way to watch the pro-
ceedings will be to be in
court.

Most of the about 50 seats
in Courtroom No. 10 are re-
served. for reporters. security.
attorneys and relatives of vic-
tim Dean H. Meyers. who was
shot to death a year ago at a
gas station in northern Vir-
ginia.

That leaves ﬁve seats for
the public to be assigned in
weekly random drawings.
with each winner being al-
lowed in the courtoom for one
day. There will be no public
seats during jury selection.
when most of the seats will be
ﬁlled by potential jurors. With
testimony expected to take
four to ﬁve weeks. that means
about 125 members of the
public will get a seat.

As of Monday morning.

there were 854 entrants. said
sheriff 's spokeswoman Paula
Miller. Some people signed up
more than once. but duplicate
entries wll be weeded out. she
said.

People may continue to
enter the lottery throughout
the trial by ﬁlling out a form
on the city's Web site or by
calling the city.

While most of the en
trants so far live in the area.
at least one hails from north-
ern Virginia. The judge
moved the trial from north-
ern Virginia after defense at-
torneys argued that all resi-
dents there could be consid-
ered victims because of the
fear the sniper shootings
caused.

In all. Muhammad. 42.
and Lee Boyd Malvo. 18. are
charged with 13 shootings. in-
cluding 10 killings. during a
threeweek spree last October
in Maryland. Virginia. and
Washington. DC.

Malvo‘s trial is scheduled

to start Nov. 10 in Chesapeake.
which is next to Virginia
Beach. The process for allo-
cating public seats during
that trial is still being devel~
oped.

Maureen Watts of Nor-
folk. thought it would be in-
teresting to sit in on a case
that is attracting internation~
al attention.

“I did it on a whim."
Watts said. “Really I did it
just because i could do it."

Rena Moore of Virginia
Beach gave a little laugh
when asked why she signed
up for the lottery.

“The truth? To get out of
my house. I'm on disability."
said Moore. who has lupus.

Theresa Miller of Chesa-
peake. is studying to be a
court reporter. so she wants to
get some experience sitting in
a courtroom during a high-
proﬁle case. “I'm certainly not
interested in those men what-
soever." she said. “I think
they‘re idiots."

“I take the bag. I twist it. I made a rope. I made a noose."

But at the point when many give up, Melendez found

“I knew right then and there I didn‘t want to die." he

Iouisville Metro Police spokeswoman Alicia Smiley said
Heather French Henry was turning at an intersection at 6%)

was in her eyes. Smiley said. The bicyclist. Karola Stede, 44.
died later at University of Louisville Hospital, said Jefferson
County deputy coroner Eddie Robinson. Smiley said the
woman was not wearing a helmet. The investigation was
continuing, but Smiley said she did not expect charges to be
ﬁled. Henry. who was Miss America 2000. and her 3-month-
old daughter, Taylor. were wearing their seatbelts and were
not injured. Peter Brand, a companion of Stede who had

CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Union workers at 44 Kroger stores
in West Virginia. Ohio and Kentucky voted Monday to strike
aﬁer rejecting the company's contract offer. More than 2.000
members of United Food & Commercial Workers Local 400
approved the strike Monday morning at a meeting in
Charleston, more than the two-thirds majority required to
authorize a strike. said Local 400 President Jim Lowthers.
The union represents about 3.300 workers for the Cincinnati-
based chain in 37 stores in West Virginia, ﬁve in Ohio and
two in Ashland. Ky. Union members planned to set up picket
lines at 10 pm. Monday. For workers in West Virginia. Ken-
tucky and Ohio, Kroger proposed an 8 percent. or $9 million.
increase in what it pays into a health and welfare fund ad-
ministered by a third party on behalf of the company and
union. An independent actuary determined the fund needs
an additional $29 million, Lowthers said. Union members
would have to pay more for health care, or suﬂer cuts in ben-
eﬁts under Kroger’s proposal. The company's offer also in-
cluded hourly pay raises of 20-25 cents per hour this year and
in 2005. along with lumpsum payments of 33003500 in 2004
and 2006: and an increase in the number of full-time employ-
ees by 50 a year for four years. unless store closings or sales
reductions make the plan unfeasible. After a strike. some
stores may not reopen. Williams said. “I am not aware that
any negotiating sessions are scheduled. We're always will-
ing to talk." Fralin said.

GRUNDY, Va. — A grand jury Monday indicted former law
student Peter Odighizuwa on capital murder charges for al-
legedly killing his dean, a professor and another student in a
shooting rampage last year. Odighizuwa. 45, who was deemed
mentally competent to stand trial in September despite being
diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic. will face three counts
of capital murder. three counts of attempted capital murder.
and six weapons charges in Buchanan County Circuit Court.
No trial date has been set yet. according to the clerk‘s ofﬁce. If
convicted. prosecutor Sheila Tolliver has promised to seek
the death penalty Defense lawyer Jimmy Turk could not be
immediately reached Monday Last month. he would not say
how Odighizuwa would plead. or whether Odighizuwa's
mental state will continue to be an issue. Odighizuwa. a
Nigerian native. came to Grundy from Ohio to attend the Ap
palachian School of Law. has been in police custody since
classmates tackled him in front of campus on Jan.16. 2002.
School ofﬁcials said they had previously told him that he'd
flunked out of school. Former classmates said in court that
they saw Odighizuwa walk through school that day. ﬁring
from a small. shiny pistol. Law school Dean Anthony Sutin.
professor Thomas Blackwell. and student Angela Dales died
in the attack. Three other students were wounded. While he
was on the ground. students said in court they heard
Odighizuwa muttering: “I had to do it. I had no where else to
go. I have nothing else to do." In preparation for his trial.
Odighizuwa told court-appointed psychologists he thinks the
federal government is engaged in a conspiracy against him
and that he continues: to be harassed by demonic spirits.

GAINESVILLE. Fla. —

istrator. He hates meetings.
likes to mingle with students.
rides a “Utah R " Harley-
Davidson motorcycle and
prefers to be called Bernie
over President Machen.

Machen, 59, who has
spent the last six years as
president of the University of
Utah. was tapped Thursday
by a unanimous vote of UF‘s
Board of Trustees. He will
become the 11th president of
the state's ﬂagship university
when he takes ofﬁce in Janu-

A pediatric dentist who
also holds a Ph.D. in educa-
tion psychology, Machen can
easily ﬁt in with some of the
students on campus.

Students and faculty can
expect to see him around
campus, eating at the student
union. dropping by a frater-
nity or sorority house. or
walking to the ofﬁce from the

president's home.

“Universities are the
most exciting place to be in
our society today,” Machen
said. “Even though it is a 247
commitment. a lot of it is just
fun. Interacting with young
people and the leaders of to
morrow, that is a real upper."

Despite his unassuming
style for a university admin-
istrator. Machen is known as
a man who gets things done
and one who rarely backs
down from a ﬁght.

Earlier this year, con-
tending state budget cuts
were jeopardizing the Univer-
sity of Utah university's edu~
cation mission, Machen
moved to freeze enrollment.

Machen also fought legis-
lators after Utah Attorney
General Mark Shurtleff is-
sued an opinion in 2001 say-
ing state law allows only the
Legislature to regulate guns
-- indicating the university's
long-standing ban on
ﬁrearms on campus was in-
valid.

Gun-rights advocates in
the Legislature tried but
failed to pass a law that
would have ﬁnancially pun-

ished state agencies that
don’t follow the Legislature's
will. The measure was aimed
at Machen for his deﬁance.

In 2002, the university
asked the courts to uphold its
gun ban. Machen said he had
a responsibility and a right
to ensure a safe learning en-
vironment.

A state court judge sided
with Machen. saying state
gun laws don‘t interfere with
the school's right to regulate
staff and student conduct on
campus.

“Machen has a proven
record of being a university
president — making tough
decisions and sticking with
them." said UF student
trustee Kyle Jones.

Before his arrival at
Utah, he was provost and
vice president for academic
affairs at the University of
Michigan and an administra-
tor at the University of
North Carolina at Chapel
Hill.

He served on the Board
of Trustees for the Salt Lake
Olympic Organizing Com-
mittee. He inherited Utah’s
high-proﬁle role in the 2002

Winter Games and saw
through the expansion of
RiceEccles Stadium, in
creased student housing and
the installation of a light rail
transportation system
through the campus.

One of the new presi-
dent's pet peeves is meetings.

At Utah. meeting with
his vice presidents and deans
were on his weekly calendar,
but Machen said he gave
them a “gold star” for decid-
éur‘ilg a meeting was not need-

Machen will be paid a
base yearly salary of $375000
and can earn a $75,000 perfor-
mance bonus, plus beneﬁts
and perks. including use of
the president's home.
Machen and his wife. Chris,
have three grown children.

The employment con-
tract. which is still being
drafted. calls for a ﬁve-year
commitment, with an option-
al threeyear extension.

He will be the highest
paid university president in
Florida. University of South
Florida President Judy Gen-
shaft is second with a base
salary of $325,000.

Interacting with young people and the
leaders of tomorrow, that is a real upper.”

RENOVATE

Continued from paqel

Research in the Dental Build-
ing, Bowman Hall and the
Reynolds building.

Although some students
are content with the general
classrooms and renovations
completed each year. others
would like to see more re-
sults.

Bryan Reed. an unde-

clared sophomore. said he
wants to see where the reno-
vation money is going.

“Only a few rooms in
Barker Hall have air condi-
tioning. and even those don’t
work very well,” said the
ROTC member.

Sadia Zoubir-Shaw, a
professor of French and lin-
guistics, said every class-
room should be equipped
with computers, projectors
and internet access.

Making classrooms more
modern will allow professors

to reach more students.

“Students are responsive
to so many different teaching
languages and that profes-
sors shouldn't be conﬁned to
just lecturing" Shaw said.

However teachers should
use what they have to the
best of their abilities. she
said.

Some students are disap
pointed with the classrooms
while others would simply
like to have more equipment.

Jesse McCall. a telecom-
munications senior, said

many times there isn't
enough equipment for even
half his ﬁlm class.

Jason Mok, an unde-
clared freshman, said overall
he’s happy with the class-
rooms.

Still more renovation
“would help create a better
learning environment and in
the long run help the univer-
sity reach its goal of becom-
ing a top 20 research and de-
velopment institution,” he
said.

Still. with no physical evi-
dence linking him to the crime
and testimony from question-
able witnesses. Melendez was
sent to death row in less than a
week from the beginning of
the proceedings.

“Monday, we pick the

Death row was stark and
cold, he said.

“When it's cold, the rats
want to get warm too," he said
of the infestations. “It was a
cold place. A lot of people. they
think Florida is hot, but there
are cold places in Florida.“

Melendez spent a longer
time on death row than most,
said Roberta Harding, a pro-
fessor of law. Ten to 12 years is

the average.

“If time hadn’t been on
Mr. Melendez’s side. he would
be dead,” Harding said.

His attorneys found tape
with a police informant, Ver-
non James. confessing to the
crime. It had been in his ﬁle
since before Melendez ﬁrst ap
peared in court.

“In the case. the prosecu-
tor knew a month before his
trial he was innocent.” said
Abe Bonowitz, director of Citi-
zens United for Alternatives to
the Death Penalty. “To do jus-
tice means doing what’s right.
not what’s expedient.“

“When they were trying
to convict me for something I
didn't do. the real killer was
still out there." Melendez said.
”Twenty years from now, what
can they do if they kill an in—

nocent man? Dig him out and
give him his life back?“

Harding agreed with Me-
lendez and Bonowitz.

“It's an irrevocable penal-
ty." she said. “Humans are fal-
lible and make mistakes. Mis-
takes will be made and people
will be spending many years
on death row.”

While others said they
haven‘t completely changed
their minds on the death
penalty, Melendez‘s story has
made them think.

“To lose nearly a score of
your life - it’s mind boggling,"
said Greg Napier, ﬁrst year
law student. “I can't say I 100
percent agree with him, but
what he said has made me
think."

No matter which quarter-
back they are protecting, UK’s
offensive line is still having
fun.

Facing scrutiny about the
lack of a running game and
lack of protection for quarter-
back Jared Lorenzen, the oﬂ’en-
sive line can't worry about the
negatives, said offensive guard
Sylvester “Big Kat" Miller.

“You got to have fun to play
offensive line because you
don’t get a lot of credit.” Miller
said. “I don‘t think you guys
would be interviewing me if
there weren’t problems on the
offensive line.”

But problems are numerous
for the Cats (24, 03 Southeast-
ern Conference). Head coach
Rich Brooks knows the prob
lems are small and ﬁxable.

“I’m not ready to throw in
the towel on this season,“
Brooks said. “We have six
games left and based on how
we have played so far. we’re ca-
pable of winning them.”

Brooks said he has not giv-

five times this year, hope for perfect SEC season

By Todd Brittlngham their skill to the newcomers
CONTRIBUTING warren and the freshmen are pulling
along very well.

After a convincing win
over Ohio State University in
Columbus. Ohio, on Satur-
day. the UK riﬂe team looks
to continue its success from
the past two seasons

“We are really looking
forward to this year " said
team captain Bradley Wheel-
don “Everyone is working
hard and we have a lot of
team chemistry this year.
This is the best team atmos-
phere we’ve had since I've
been here."

The Cats beat OSU with
an aggregate score of 6,195-
6,034. UK's second team bet-

tered OSU’s first team with a
score of 6.069.
The team comprises

three seniors. one junior,
three sophomores and four
freshmen.

“We have a lot of upper-
classmen returning and I see
that experience leading to
success," head coach Harry
Mullins said.

“The freshmen that we
have brought in have pro-
duced a very enthusiastic at-
titude that has put a little
pep into our team. The up-
perclassmen are passing on

With big time tourna-
ments in which the team will
take on five-time defending
national champion Universi-
ty of Alaska-Fairbanks three
times and top-10 teams in
nearly every tournament,
there is little room for error.

“We have big tourna-
ments this season in which
we take on Alaska, Navy, Ne-
braska. Army and many oth—
er nationally ranked top
teams," Mullins said. “I
think there are about ten
teams that can really make a
run for the national champi-
onship and of course there is
always a team that comes
from nowhere. We have to
stay focused and take every
tournament one at a time."

As for team goals. the
Wildcats will settle for noth-
ing less than focus and com-
mitment.

Senior Lindsey Meagher
said the Cats are hoping for
an undefeated Southeastern
Conference season. an SEC
championship and ultimate.

team,“ she said. “Everyone is
adjusting and getting along
very well and now we must
come together and stay fo-
cused throughout our season
and get it done.“

Wheeldon agreed.

“We have to do whatever
it takes this year," he said.
“It‘s going to take a lot of
hard work and dedication
that will lead us to our goals
like the national champi-
onship."

The team faces a long
season and Mullins expects
nothing less than the team's
best effort throughout the

year.

“I just want our team to
have fun and to do their
best." he said. “Personal con-
fidence breeds winning and
I'm here to push our team to
the limits and we will excel
to the highest level we can
compete at."

UK will play Nebraska in
Fairbanks. Alaska. on Oct.
24. The Cats face Alaska
Fairbanks on Oct. 25.

“We‘re going to have
fun." Mullins said. “And win.
ning is always fun."
