‘ STANDING ROOM ONLY AT LCC

In need of more space, LCC
is one of the state's most
overcrowded schools

STAFF WRITER

One of the major prob-
lems facing Lexington Com-
munity College is a dire
need for more space.

LCC President Jim Ker-
ley said the school is trying
to come up with “creative
ideas“ to meet the needs of
the students.

“We should continue to
allow people to come to this
college. It is all about the stu-
dents." Kerley said.

Kerley said he thinks
that while LCC‘s student
body continues to grow, it
could have grown more this
past year if not for a lack of
space.

Charles McGrew, Institu-
tion Effectiveness and Plan-
ning coordinator. said the re-
sults of a 2001 LCC study
showed that the square feet
per student. per class ratio is
the lowest in the state.

At LCC there are 4.5
square feet per student, per
class; the next lowest was
the Kentucky Community
and Technical School. with
seven square feet.

The state average ratio
in 2001 was 13.8 square feet
per student, per class.

Since the study was con-
ducted. LCC‘s attendance
has risen from 7,793 students
in 2001 to 8,639 students this
fall _ an increase of almost
11 percent.

“Our space needs are
pretty dire." McGrew said.

At one time. a new build-
ing for LCC was considered
atop priority for UK. but has
since dropped to number ﬁve

Expert informs public on fraud

By Sanieh Shdash
snrr WRITER

A person on the street
corner is holding up a sign
that reads “Need Food.“ Does
he really need food. or is he
saving up money for a trip to
Las Vegas?

Swindling, identity theft
and credit fraud are growing
concerns across the United
States and the world.

Crime prevention officer.
Bige Towery of the Lexington
Police Department. spoke Sat-
urday at the Successful Aging
Fair at the Lexington Green
Hilton to people interested in
how to avoid being a victim of
scams.

Professionals can steal
your identity or access your fi-
nancial accounts in almost
the blink of an eye, Towery
said. All they need is a med-
ical bill from your trash can.

As Towery explained, one
sheriff learned that the hard
way To teach him a lesson af-
ter he said he was nearly posi-
tive identity theft couldn‘t
happen to him. a professional
found a medical bill in the
sheriff ‘s trash and used the

information to get a new so-
cial security card. With it, he
obtained a driver‘s license
with the sheriff ’5 information
but his own picture.

With those two cards in
hand, he was able to rent an
apartment and buy a car in
one day. His last stop was a
jewelry store. where he
bought a diamond ring.

The next day, he rang the
sheriff 's doorbell.

“Here's an extra social se-
curity card. the keys to your
new apartment, the keys to
your new car. and a diamond
ring for your wife," the man
told him.

Towery said there are two
simple steps everyone should
take to avoid being the victim
of such fraud: Call one of
three national credit bureaus
to have a free fraud alert put
on your credit ~ and buy a
crosscut shredder.

“You won't be able to re-
ceive instant credit approval
at a department store or buy a
car in one day after that.“ he
said. “But it keeps someone
from following your mailman
around and getting your cred-
it card without you ever

knowing."

The fraud alert means the
credit bureau calls you at
home to verify that you re-
quested any account before it
is approved, stopping frauds
from obtaining instant credit
in your name.

Towery said phone scams
are becoming a rampant con-
cern as well.

Norma Houston, an at-
tendee at the seminar. said she
tends to be gullible when it
comes to such things.

“I'm basically a nice per-
son, so I assume everyone else
is.“ she said. A telemarketer
once told her he had just spo-
ken with her cousin Evelyn to
ease into the conversation be-
fore throwing his sales pitch.

“He was so smooth." she
said. “I was suckered into giv-
ing him the name of someone
I knew before the conversa-
tion was over.“

Towery said that we are
accustomed to trying to be
nice to people.

“If someone calls to solic-
it money from me. well — I‘m
going to be rude,“ he said.
“People like to think that
something good has actually

happened to them. But no
body will ever call and say
you've won money, and then
say that you need to send
them some ﬁrst."

The Internet has become
another avenue for scam
artists to hit victims. A recent
scam on America Online
works through pop-up win-
dow that hackers can send
you.

An ofﬁcial-looking win—
dow will pop up and tell you
there has been an error with
your account, then ask for
your bank account or credit
card number, whichever you
have on ﬁle to pay for your In-
ternet service.

Towery advised people to
never give information over
the phone or the Internet un-
less they are the ones who ini-
tiated the contact. He also ad-
vised college students be very
cautious with their student ID
cards and other information.

“Be careful where you
leave your purse and even
what you leave in your dorm
room." he said. He also ad-
vised taking cash into bars or

Residence Life sponsors awareness week;
hopes students will take advantage of program

By Meghan Arrell
CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Residence Life Recycling will sponsor a recy-
cling campaign this week entitled Reduce, Reuse,
Recycle, Respect Week.

The focus of this campaign will be to educate
the UK community on reducing and reusing waste
in addition to recycling, said Shane Tedder, recy-
cling coordinator.

Recycling is already a part of many students’
routines. In each residence hall, students can find
recycling bins for their mixed paper, plastic bot-
tles and aluminum cans on each ﬂoor.

Bins for batteries, ink cartridges, plastic bags
and cardboard are located in the basement.

Tedder said a ResLife Recycling associate col-
lects the contents of all the bins in their designat-
ed residence hall two or three times a week.

The contents are then emptied into trailers lo-
cated on campus and driven to the Bluegrass Re-
gional Recycling Center once they are full.

Last year ResLife Recycling collected a total of
65,372 pounds of recyclable products. As of Oct.
16, the group had collected 19,862 pounds. The goal
for this year is to collect and recycle 100,000
pounds, Tedder said.

Some students have ideas on improving UK’s
recycling program.

“I think there should be more recycling bins
around campus,” said Kourtnay Jones, a biotech-
nical engineering freshman.

If dorm residents are having problems with
the recycling on their ﬂoors, they are encouraged
to contact ResLife Recycling.

Residents’ feedback is important to the pro-
gram’s growth, Tedder said.

However, some students said ResLife Recy-
cling’s goals may be difficult to achieve because
many people on campus ignore or abuse the recy-
cling program.

“1 don’t think people respect the program,
they just use the bins for trash cans,” said Jessica
Murray an Education freshman.

“I think they are a good idea, but I don’t think
people use them all the time because they are
lazy,” said Austin Gadlagde an education fresh-
man.

Tedder challenged all UK students to “practice
good stewardship and help us divert as much
waste as possible from Kentucky’s landfills.”

How to recycle on campus

ResLife Recycling will have a table set up
Monday from 12-3 pm. in front of Whitehall
Classroom Building and Thursday from 10 am-3
pm, and Friday from 10 am. to 3 pm. across
from Starbucks in the Student Center

ResLife Recycling will display information on
the amount of trash created by students as well
as the difference recycling can make for the en-
vironment.

The tables will also demonstrate ways for
students to reduce and reuse. There will be
drawings for free recycling-related prizes.

To contact ResLife Recycling, call 257-2003,
or e-mail resliferecycling@uky.edu.

III shows adults divided on later her hows
A recent poll of adults in Lexington Fayette County by the
UK Survey Research (‘enter found respondents evenly di-
vided on a question of whether bars should be allowed to
sell alcohol after the current 1 a.m. prohibition. The survey
found that about 47 percent of survey respondents favor and
about 47 percent oppose the later bar~opening hours. The
number of respondents favoring extended hours for liquor
sales on weekends only was higher 54 percent in favor
and 42 percent opposed. Among those who had consumed
any alcohol in the month prior to the interview, 68 percent
were in favor of the weekends-only proposal. while only 31
percent of those who had not had a drink in the past month
were in favor. The Survey Research Center said the results
of the survey do not necessarily indicate that there would
be "masses of additional people" staying out later drinking
at the bars on weekends if the hours were extended by the
Lexington Fayette Urban County Council. Among those
who had drank in the past month (about 65 percent of the
sample). only ‘25 percent said they would be likely to stay out
longer drinking. and about twothirds of the respondents
said it would be “very unlikely." The questions were part of
3 Lexington Issues 2003 survey conducted by telephone July
19 through Aug. 17 with 1.091 randomly selected adult
Fayette County residents The suiyey‘s margin of error is
plus or minus 2.07 percent.

Legal settlement could beneﬁt panhandlers
CHICAGO People who have been arrested or ticketed for
panhandling in (‘hicago may be in line for money from the
city. Under a tentative settlement. the city would pay about
$99,000 to the alleged offenders and $375,000 to their attor-
neys. About 5.000 people could receive money from the pool
of 399.000. but it is not known how many will actually sub-
mit claims. said plaintitl‘s' lawyer Mark Weinberg. Those ar-
rested lor panhandlmg may tile a claim for $400. while peo-
ple who were ticketed can receive $60. The preliminary set-
tlement signed ()c . 22 is part of a battle over a 1991 ordi-
nance that classiﬁed panhandling as disorderly conduct. a
misdemeanor punishable by a ﬁne of up to $500. Weinberg
ﬁled suit in 3001. and the ordinance was repealed the next
year. I'nder the statute of limitations of two years on civil
cases, only those arrested or ticketed after Sept. 6. 1999 are
eligible to I‘W‘t‘lw- money. "(‘urrently you can‘t have a blan»

Dean's comments tasteless, but apt

Democratic presidential front-runner
Howard Dean took a great deal of heat during a
candidates’ debate in Boston Tuesday night for
comments he had made previously to the Des
Moines Register. Dean promised to be the candi-
date “for guys with Confederate ﬂags in their
pickup trucks,” a remark that at least two can-
didates criticized.

The Rev. Al Sharpton and North Carolina
Senator John Edwards both demanded an apolo-
gy. Sharpton said he didn’t think Dean was a
bigot, but compared the Confederate ﬂag to the
Nazi swastika.

We, at The Massachusetts Daily Collegian,
believe Dean’s remarks in the Register were in
horribly bad taste. With that said, however, we
believe the statements were in large part taken
out of context, and that Dean’s point on the
whole regarding the issue of Democratic sup-
port in the South was valid. Dean made the car-
dinal mistake that many shoot-from-the-hip
types will: He did not think of the possible ram-
ifications of what he was saying before
he said it.

“I grew up with the very people you are talk-
ing about,” Edwards told Dean, according to
