Demolished: Kappa Alpha seeks new house
with help from national headquarters, alumni

By Kristi Martin
STAFF WRITER

UK‘s oldest fraternity no longer has a home.

In fact. all that is left of their long-time home is a gaping hole.

The Kappa Alpha Order fraternity house was demolished last
Friday before classes began.

The members of Kappa Alpha Order fraternity voluntarily
moved out of the house last spring because of the deterioration of
the aging building.

Problems with the building were too expensive to ﬁx. said
Nick Doiron. vice president of KA and a biology junior.

“In order to make the house livable again. it would cost
$100,000 and we were not willing to put that kind of money into
the project of restoring the building." he said.

The fraternity decided to allow their lease with UK to expire.
said Matt Proud. president of KA and a nursing senior.

He said that they decided to look for another place to reside
instead.

UK decided to demolish the house instead of allowing another
organization to use it.

Proud said that the house will be missed. “The decision to de-
stroy the building was disappointing because the members that
lived in the house had so many memories within those walls. but
we did not want to live there any longer." he said.

Though not all KA members will live in a house together this
year. they have moved to a cluster of a few houses. Activities
have continued as usual.

“A fraternity is like any other organization. and we do not
function around a house. We go on with meetings and activities,"
Proud said.

Both Doiron and Proud agreed that living without a house
has been a learning experience. but said that the fraternity has
managed to keep ties strong.

Weekly meetings are currently being held at an off-campus
site. Doiron said. Doiron added that the fraternity listserv also
helps bridges communication between the members.

The fraternity is currently working on fundraising ideas to
buy or build a new house in the future. Alumni members and the
national headquarters are supporting them in the efforts to raise
money for a new house. A national coordinator is working on pro-
jects to raise more than $1 million for UK‘s Kappa Alpha Order.
and alumni members are donating money to the eﬂort.

“We are not planning to leave the University of Kentucky
anytime soon. Our chapter is as strong as it has ever been. and we
wagt to continue the tradition of Kappa Alpha Order." Doiron
sai .

Parking spaces
now full of bricks

Construction forced
the closure of this
lot behind sorority
circle. “There's
concern with bricks
falling on the per-
mit holders," said
the parking direc-

More than 20 students found their parking spots ﬁlled with
bricks Thursday morning. as construction on new fraternity hous-
es spilled into their lot.

“There are just piles and piles of bricks in the parking lot."
said Heather Watts, who lives in the Delta Gamma house and
parks in the lot.

The R-S lot is located off Columbia Avenue and behind Sorori~
ty Row. Sorority members and members of the Sigma Alpha Ep-
silon fraternity usually park in the lot. Normally there are about
30 spaces. but now only about three or four spaces remain.

UK decided to close the lot to prevent any damages to cars
parked there during the masonry work on the SAE fraternity
house. The lot will reopen when construction finishes in about
four weeks.

“There's concem with bricks falling on the permit holders."
said Don Thornton. director of parking. ”We are trying to do some-
thing to open up some more spaces."

During construction. students can return their passes for a
pro-rated refund or have it switched to another lot somewhere else
on campus.

But many of the lots are already filled and permits aren‘t
available.

“We have to be sure we don't oversell the permits. and we
don‘t find out about construction until the permits have been is
sued " Thornton said.

Professor goofs,
misses final exam

By Emily llagedorn

STAFF VIRlTER

It was the beginning of a very long week. The students of Socis
ology 409 and Sociology 342 came to their classroom Monday
morning. Dec. 10. expecting to take their final.

But their professor. Thomas Egan. committed one of the
biggest faux pas of college — he missed the final exam.

“We all thought something happened to him." said Courtney
Sullivan. a communications senior in his Sociology 409 class.

Actually. Egan just made a simple mistake he wrote down
the wrong date.

“I was thinking the 10th was Tuesday." Egan said. "They (the
classes) were back to back."

The sociology department was sympathetic to the accident.

“(Egan) has two other classes and it was just a matter of writ-
ing down the wrong time." said William F. Skinner. head of the so-
ciology department.

The department sent every student an apology letter. Skinner
said. Special allowances were given to graduating students and
students with scholarship deadlines. and the secretaries took
every student‘s phone number before they left class on Dec, 10.
Egan said.

Some. though. believe the incident was not handled properly.

“They didn't handle the situation very well." Sullivan said.
“We called the ofﬁces and they didn't return our phone calls.“

UK has only provided enough

hosts about 380 events annual-

PARKING

The R-14 lot is located
next to the RS lot and is often-
times not filled to capacity.
Thornton said UK parking will
be ﬂexible with students with
R-5 permits parking in the RM
lot.

Even with the flexibility.
many R-5 permit holders face
the reality of either being

without a place to park or
parking at K—lot around Com-
monwealth Stadium.

“It kind of cuts into safe
parking." said Abbie Neary, a
psychology junior. “I would
much rather have a shorter
walk."

While students will have a
long walk back to their houses
for awhile, the problem of con-
struction on campus has no
end in sight.

“Construction is a prob-
lem that a lot of us have to deal
with." Thornton said.

Other students echoed Sul-
livan‘s sentiments.

“I think they should have
done a better job of contacting
us." said Robyn Halt, a psy-
chology senior and a student
of Sociology 409.

The sociology department
and the Ombud‘s ofﬁce decided
students could either take a ﬁ-
nal exam in the classroom or a
take home essay.

“We made sure there were
several options. both before
the semester as well as now
since this situation is ongo-
ing." Egan said. “People have
the opportunity to make a
choice of whatever is easiest to
do to complete the course."

The department did not
treat the ﬁnal grade differently
because of Egan‘s absence.

Some students felt this
was unfair.

“I really think they should
have let us take the grade we

had at that point or given us a
100 for the final and factored
that in with the rest of our
grade.” Sullivan said. “If we
didn‘t attend the test we would
have gotten an incomplete. but
the professor doesn't show and
we have to take out time to
make up the ﬁnal."

Halt had to return to Lex-
ington to take the ﬁnal.

“It took a lot of effort and
at that point I was done with ﬁ-
nals," Halt said.

Skinner says Egan is still
a professor at UK and his stu-
dents say this is uncharacter-
istic of him.

“(Egam was a really nice
guy and a good professor."
Halt said.

“He didn't seem like he
would do this, that’s why we
thought something was wrong
with him when he didn’t show.
I think he just made a mis-
take."

This situation is unlikely
to happen again, Skinner said.

“Not in my memory has
an instructor not shown up for
the final." he said.

ATTENTION UK STUDENTS:

STUDENT TICKET LOTTERY CHANGES

After meeting with the Dean of Students staff and several
students, we agree that there are problems with the current
lottery process. Although we agreed not to abandon the current
lottery process completely for the year, we will implement the

following changes:

Doors will open early in order to get the students in the
building so that the lottery can start earlier.

An announcement will be made as soon as the doors are closed
to notify all students as to whether or not they are guaranteed

to get tickets.

We will not guarantee that large groups who attend the lottery
will sit next to each other, but only that they will be in the same
row or the row behind their group.

There will be no group seating for the last three games.

There will be a separate lottery for the Florida game, in
anticipation of an overflow crowd.

Rejected
renovations

There was an
article in
yesterday's
Kernel
discussmg the
renovation plans
for Rupp Arena
like more stalls
in the women's
bathrooms and
new seats in the
stands. What the
story failed to
mention were all
the ideas for a
better arena
that were shot
down. That's
where 1 come in:
I know how to
dig up the real
dirt. I had to get
my spy on to
discover all
original plans to
make Rupp a
better place for
the Cats. I don't
think they had
UK's best
interest at heart
on some of
these. See
for yourself:

The student section
was going to be
moved from
their comfy
location and be
seated in all the
isles. We now
have a reason to
be thankful for
fire safety.

Hydraulic lifts were
going to be
placed under the
court in order to
raise the
starting line-up,
but the initial
test launched
the crash
dummy into the
speaker system.

They were going to
add more space
to the men’s
bathrooms, but
tests showed
that the one
urinal and bottle
of Dial was
plenty.

A giant wildcat and
basketball
statue was going
to be placed out
front but the
only contractor
available was a
guy that makes
the cheesy
looking
dinosaurs for
miniature
golf courses.

After the incident in
Texas with the
players running
into the fans.
harnesses and
spring loaded
nets were being
developed to
prevent this.
They decided
against it
because
restraining
Bogans to the
court with ropes
would throw off
his jump shot.

Giant mousetraps
were to be
placed at all
entrances and in
the air ducts
until advocates
stated that the
campus sqmrrels
had every right
to be there to
support
their team.

They were going to
add more
speakers to that
monstrosity
above center
court but
decided against
it when the roof
started to
buckle under all
the weight.

IN OUR OPINION

State reps

well-paid babysitters

are just

As busy as ever. Kentucky's General Assembly will soon consider
bills to ban cell phone usage while driving. to allow police to pull over
drivers simply for not wearing a seatbelt and to mandate that every per“
son under 4 feet 9 inches tall be secured in a booster seat.

The last issue would not be controversial but for the fact that 4 feet 9
inches is not exactly a toddler. Heck. that's a decent-size dwarf (or the

world‘s tallest midget).

With respect to the ﬁrst two. though. when will the legislature stop
trying to ensure that no one ever gets hurt? When will they realize that
the citizens of Kentucky do not mean to elect babysitters (although. how

many babysitters can set their own pay)?

The proponents of the cell phone bill cite a Kentucky State Police re-
port that says 300 accidents and two deaths were attributed to cell phone

They are
trying to
take away
the right

usage last year. While those deaths are tragic. the numbers hardly mer- t0 be

it a ban on cell phone usage.

Why not just ban automobiles altogether? There weren‘t nearly as stupid, and
