Starting in late May, new aluminum bars will be added
to south campus dorm windows to improve safety

By Danielle Komis

CONTRIBUTTNG WRITER

UK will be installing safe-
ty bars on all 1,562 windows of
the Kirwan-Blanding complex
on south campus beginning
in late May.

Prompted by an accident
last year in Kirwan Tower in
which a UK student and a
Western Kentucky University
student were killed when they

vices has spent almost a year
trying to find the most effec-
tive bar design.

Ben Crutcher. associate
vice president of Auxiliary
Services. says that they hired
an outside consultant to help
his office determine what
kind of bar design would be
the best for south campus
windows.

Crutcher said that to test

such as a person coming at
the window at a fast walk
speed. jogging speed. and
sprint speed. These were done
to ensure that the bar design
would prevent the window
from breaking under a vari-
ety of conditions.

Auxiliary Services. along
with Capital Projects Manage—
ment. also ran field tests on
different bar prototypes by
filling punching bags with
lead and simulating different
impact loads.

“We wanted to make sure

up to a pretty good impact."
Crutcher said.

The final design is a l-by-
four-inch thick solid alu-
minum bar that will hug the
inside of the window. The bar
will stand four inches away
from the window and will be
anchored into the concrete
walls. The total cost to make
and install the bars is expect-
ed to be $374,890.

Although students have
expressed concern in the past
that bars would make the
dorms look like jail cells.

Quick reactions
to heart attacks
benefit long run

Symptoms: Seeking help
can hinder future problems

By Chrissy fleas

STAFF WRITER

People who delay seeking
medical attention after having a
heart attack put themselves at
further risk of complications
and death. said one UK professor.

“There are a quarter of a
million people who could have
a better lifestyle and be saved,
who could have any life be-
cause they‘ll be saved," said
College of Nursing professor
Debra Moser.

According The American
Heart Association. out of
about 1.1 million heart attack
patients each year, 44 percent
die. Moser said that a substan-
tial number of deaths result-
ing from heart attacks might
be prevented if patients seek
treatment earlier.

Moser is the principal in-
vestigator in the UK branch of
an international initiative
called The Promotion Study,
which uses individual nurse
counseling to encourage pa-
tients to react sooner when
they have the symptoms of a
heart attack.

A heart attack is a block-
age in one of the arteries that
supplies blood to the heart.
Most heart attack victims wait
several hours before they seek
treatment. though the optimal
time to be treated is within one
hour. Delayed treatment in-
creases the risk of death and
increases the chances of hav-
ing a more substantial heart at-
tack. Moser said.

“When that blood supply is
lost. it takes seconds before dam-
age starts occurring. but we
have therapies that can restore
the blood flow.“ Moser said. “But

With the school year
wearing thin and diner ac-

may be getting tired of eating
at the same campus restau-

But there’s a choice that
many may overlook: the
Lemon Tree in Erikson Hall.
The Lemon Tree restaurant is

The class prepares a five
course meal every Tuesday
and Thursday for $7, the nor-
mal price of a meal on cam-

The Lemon Tree is a
healthier alternative to some of
the greasier foods found on
campus because the class does-
n't serve deep fried foods; they
try to eliminate the majority of
fattening ingredients.

Margaret Cook-Newell,
the professor of the Lemon
Tree class, said she would like

the Lemon Tree and its

3-year plan addresses dorms,

By Derek Poore
STAFF WRITER

Administrators have drafted
a 3-year plan to move UK toward
top-20 research status.

The 2003-2006 Strategic Plan
that was drafted this week calls
for increasing enrollment. open-
ing a new residence hall. and im-
proving diversity among faculty

UK has a goal to “increase
African-American and women
faculty to at least four percent
and 36 percent. respectively." the
report says.

Another goal is to increase
African-American administra-
tors to at least five percent and
women administrators to 46 per-
cent.

The plan also calls for rais-
ing the academic standard for in-

coming freshman. Specifically.
UK wants to raise the middle 50
percent of incoming freshmen's
ACT scores from 23 to 28. Anoth-
er goal is to increase the reten-
tion rate of sophomores to 83
percent.

Angie Martin. associate vice
president for planning. budget
and policy analysis. said she is
pleased with the draft.

The three-year plan is more
flexible than a typical five-year
plan. Martin said.

She said that the ACT goals
would be reached by raising the
standard in which UK accepts in-
coming freshman.

With enrollment still rising.
dorm overcrowding will continue
to be an issue.

“The Strategic Plan now
calls for one campus facility to be

built by the end of the plan."
Martin said.

UK has submitted a plan to
the Capital Planning Advisory
Board in Frankfort. which states
a goal to construct one dorm
every two years after 2006. she
said.

UK hopes this would accom-
modate 30 percent of the under-
graduate population.

Studies show that students
are more productive and have
better grades when they live in
an on-campus environment. Mar-
tin said.

Initiatives are planned for
the UK Medical Center as well.
said the vice president for med-
ical center operations. Frank
Butler. He said that because the
Medical Center is 98 percent to 99
percent self-supporting. income

diversity

from additional resources is
needed.

“That (money) has to come
from patients." Butler said.
“(There's) very little state money
for that.

UK has proposed to allow the
Medical Center to explore com-
mercial opportunities. which
will allow UK Hospital to be
more competitive. Butler said.

“There are health issues en-
demic to Kentucky." Butler said.
He said cancer. heart disease and
diabetes are areas that need
more resources.

UK also included among oth-
er items plans to increase re-
cruitment of postdoctoral schol-
ars from the current figure of 232
to a goal of 275. and increase doc-
toral degree enrollment overall
from 2.154 to 2.350.

New leaders
sentenced
service hours

56 court doles out punishment;
Hutchinson says it isn't enough

By Paul Lelghtty
it" wants

Student Government President-
elect Rachel Watts and Vice President-
elect Matt Rippetoe must each do 50
hours of community service this sum-
mer for violating 86 election rules, the
SG Supreme Court ruled at an appeals
hearing Tuesday night.

Rippetoe said fulfilling the commu—
nity service won‘t be difficult. and that
he plans on attending various philan-
thropy events.

“I‘m not going to do anything dif-
ferently than I would do anyways as
vice president. because I would attend
anyway." he said.

The court said Watts and Rippetoe
must also pay a $100 fine to SC.

The post-election saga may not be
over yet. however. One presidential can-
didate has said he might try taking his
complaints into Fayette District Court.

Tuesday's decision overturned a
prior ruling by the SG Election Board
of Claims on an election violation
claim filed by David Hutchinson. Matt
Falk. and Brianna Shaffer, who were
runners-up in the presidential race.

The court agreed with the
claimants‘ contention that the
Watts/Rippetoe campaign had not re-
ported expenditures for their campaign
Web site at a “reasonable retail rate,"
which the SG constitution requires.
The court estimated that a reasonable
rate for the site would have been $45.
Chief Justice Phillip Wheeler said.
which would have put the campaign
over 86 spending limits.

While Mike McDonner. who is a
third‘year law student representing
Hutchinson. said that he was arguing to
overturn the election. Wheeler said the
court hadn‘t seen enough evidence.

“We don‘t find that the approxi-
mately $45 overspending affected the in-
tegrity of the election." Wheeler said.
The constitution states that if the in-
tegrity of an election is affected. the
Board of Claims or the court may over-
turn the election results.

Hutchinson said that he has re-
quested an investigation into the elec-
tion from Victor Hazard. dean of stu—
dents. and they are meeting today to
discuss 24 other claims against Watts
and Rippetoe that were not heard by the
court or the Board of Claims.

“I honestly don't think the hours of
community service and the $100 fine are
sufficient." Hutchinson said. He said he
thinks his other claims have greater
merit than the one heard Tuesday

The Supreme Court also certified
all election results and will swear in all
winning candidates tonight. except the
candidate for College of Fine Arts sena-
tor. Melissa Snow-Groves. who the
court disqualified for failure to turn in
a campaign finance report on time.

Chief Justice Phillip Wheeler said
the court would recommend in its writ-
ten decision that Watts nominate Snow-
Groves to the position if she files the
expenditure. At a Board of Claims hear-
ing Monday. she said she hadn‘t filed
the report because she hadn't spent any
money campaigning. and no one told
her of the finance reporting rules.

McCoy may be forever remembered

PIKE\'II.I.I~I. Ky,
Randolph McCoy have given up hope of
erecting a statue in a Pikeville park to
honor the patriarch of the family that
was involved in a bloody feud with the
Hattields in the late 1800s. The life-size.
bronze statue would be placed in a small
cemetery on the outskirts of town. The
Pikeville City Council hasn't said no to
the family's request in February to the
place the statue in the park. But is hasn‘t
said yes. Pikeville resident James Smith
said many people feel that placing the
statue in the park would be romanticizing
criminal behavior. “I don't believe we
should be putting tip the statue," Smith
said. “Killing is killing." The feud be-
tween the McCoys of Kentucky and Hat-
fields of West Virginia is believed to have
stemmed from a dispute over a pig in the
1870s. By 1888. as many as a dozen lives
were lost. including s'nt of Randolph Me

UK community lends
a PAW to recruit students

Getting Involved: Current students encourage
prospective students to take chance and enroll at UK

'1 Liz Green
WINNING "IYEII

. Brandon Boyd travels
With a purpose in mind. es-
pecially when he visits rural
areas in Eastern Kentucky.

His mission: to change
stereotypes and recruit stu-
dents to UK.

“A lot of people there
have negative impressions of
larger universities,” said
Boyd, a business manage-
ment and marketing sopho-
more. “They feel they won’t
get the individual attention
from teachers and it would
be too overwhelming for
them to move to a bigger
City.”

Through a group called
the PAW, Boyd seeks to show
high school seniors that
these stereotypes about UK
aren’t true.

The PAW, which stands
for Preparing Aspiring Wild-
cats, assists the Office of Un-
dergraduate Admissions in
its recruitment efforts, ac-
cording to Shaun Knox, ad-
missions counselor for the
ofl'ice. Twenty-five UK stu-
dents participate in the
group, along with Knox and
Jason Headrick, who are

PAW advisers. Since the 1998-
1999 school year, the PAW has
been traveling to cities in
Kentucky. Ohio and West Vir-
ginia to recruit high school
seniors for UK.

“They're similar to am-
bassadors because they rep-
resent the university,“ Knox
said.

The Office of Undergrad-
uate Admissions needed
readily available students to
represent the university and
help recruit high school se-
niors to UK, Knox said.

Before the PAW existed.
the office would choose one
or two student workers to as
sist them in recruiting. Now,
the office has a whole group
of students it can rely on to
give their perspectives on
college to high school se-
niors.

The PAW has preview
nights during the fall in Ken-
tucky’s larger cities. Three
or four PAW members talk to
high school seniors about
their experience at UK. Rep-
resentatives from each col-
lege attend too.

PAW President Nancy
Heffelfinger likes to mingle
with the prospective seniors

during the preview nights.

“It‘s definitely a lot more
rewarding to talk to the stu-
dents one-on-one,“ said Hef-
felfinger. a computer science
senior who has been a mem-
ber of the PAW for three
years. “It‘s just really nice to
help students make such a
big decision."

Matthew McKerr said
high school students who
face the challenge of decid-
ing which college to attend
have a range of emotions.

“They‘re either nervous.
anxious or they have off-the-
wall, oddball questions." said
McKerr, a social work senior
who has been a member of
the PAW for four years.

The PAW also organizes
an academic honors day in
the fall. High school seniors
come to experience the cam-
pus and ask questions. The
PAW provides the answers.

Similar to the academic
honors day, the PAW orga-
nizes the president’s recep-
tion in the spring. The office
of UK President Lee Todd
sponsors the event, and Todd
attends as well.

During the reception,
the PAW gives students resi-
dence hall and library tours.
The students can also attend
interest sessions about the
student organizations that
UK offers.

The PAW also keeps in
contact with students across
the country that have been
accepted to UK by calling
them on the telephone or
writing them letters.

Through all of their re-
cruitment and contact meth.
ods. the PAW members meet
and talk with many people.

“i feel like I've met like
15,000 students.“ said Ginny
Bruington, a pro-physical
therapy junior who has been
a member of the PAW for two
years. “I think they really en-
joy hearing a college stu-
dents perspective.“

Knox agreed. He said the
PAW contributed to the
freshman enrollment ,, a
record 3,718 students accord-
ing to the Office of Institu-
tional Research at UK w for
the 2002-2003 school year.

Heffelfinger said she has
witnessed the success of the
PAW and finds it personally
rewarding.

“I know I've made a dif-
ference when I see students
on campus that I have helped
recruit the year before," she
said.

Knox, who was once a
member of the PAW, also rec-
ognizes the success of the
group.

“I think it's wonderful."
he said. “It‘s a great organi-
zation.“

I know I’ve made a difference When I see students

on campus that I have helped recruit the year before.”

WINDOW

Continued from paqei

Crutcher said he was confident
in the design.

"You probably wouldn’t
notice them if you didn’t know
guitar were there already, " he

Crutcher said that the bar
should also not interfere with
students’ ability to use the
space in the bay window for
TVs or refrigerators.

Justin Rzepka, UK sopho-
more and brother of
Matthew Rzepka, the WKU
student who died in last
year’s accident, responded
positively when he heard that
the university was putting
bars on the windows.

“I know people said the
bars could make it look like a
prison, but it’s a lot better than
someone going through all the
stuff I had to go through
8881!!”Rzepka said.

However, Rzepka said that
he thought it took too long for
something to be done about the
windows.

Matthew Rzepka, and UK
freshman Jeffrey Pfetzer, died
on May 2, 2002, at 2:30 am. At

the time, witnesses said the
two had been wrestling when
they broke through the win-
dow.

Heidi Barlow, a resident
adviser at Kirwan Tower for
three years, was concerned
about the time it has taken
for something to be done
about the windows.

“I think they should’ve
done something a little bit
sooner than this, but I know
they had to go through differ-
ent options," Barlow said.

Crutcher said it was im—
portant to do the job correct-
y.

“We wanted to make sure
the design we came up with is
satisfactory and does the job
and doesn't give just a sense
of security," Crutcher said.

Barlow expressed doubt
in the safety of the window
panes themselves.

“They’re old windows
and they’re easy to break,"
she said. Barlow said that last
year in Kirwan Tower. a rock
cracked a fourth-story win-
dow, causing it to eventually
blow out of the frame.

Many students, including
Justin Rzepka, have heard
that tempered glass might be
safer.

But Crutcher said that

the windows. which date back
to 1966. meet current safety
standards.

“If the building was built
today. they would use the
same glass," Crutcher said.

Crutcher said speculation
that a different type of glass
would be safer is false. He
said that in the beginning of
the project, consultants ran
simulations using the height
and weight of the two men 11}
volved in last year‘s accident
and found that tempered
glass would not have made a
difference.

He said that the glass
needed to have been seven-
eighths inch thick to have
prevented the accident, but
the up-to-code glass in the
dorm windows is only one-
quarter inch thick.

Crutcher said that the
new bars will be better than
new glass.

There are no plans to in-
stall bars on any dorm win-
dows besides those on South
campus because all others are
up to code. Crutcher said. Aux-
iliary Services hopes to have
the installation of all the bars
finished by late August so they
will be ready when students
move in for the next school
year.

We wanted
to make
sure
whatever
we
designed
stood up to
a pretty
good
impact.”

Continued from paqet

putting in a little extra work.

Marisa McLin. a dietetic
intern and the teaching as-
sistant of the class, said that
college is the last place to try
to break bad eating habits
before graduation.

“After someone gradu-
ates. they probably don‘t
have any home-cooked
meals; they rely on fast food
restaurants and TV dinners

to feed them, but those are
not healthy for anyone be-
cause of the grease which
the Lemon Tree tries to cut
out of the food served,"
McLin said.

Chris Boyd. a dietetic se-
nior and member of the
class, said that the class
should expand so more peo-
ple could be eating healthier
on a regular basis.

“The Lemon Tree could
spread the word about
healthier eating if more peo-
ple could fit into the dining
area instead of being turned
away after our capacity has
been filled." Boyd said.

HEART

Continuedtrompaqei

obviously the longer you wait,
the worse the damage is."

People delay seeking
treatment for several rea-
sons. including misconcep'
tions surrounding heart at-
tacks. she said.

“Many people think. from
I

watching television, they see
people have heart attacks and
clutch their chests and fall to
the ground and heart attacks
really usually aren't like that.“
Moser said.

Heart attacks may mani-
fest as chest pressure or dis-
comfort. and patients may not
recognize them. Also. women
may have different symptoms
from men. such as nausea and
shortness of breath. Older
people and people with dia-
betes may bf used to having

symptoms similar to those of
a heart attack and may not be
able to identify a heart attack
when it occurs.

“It's our common reaction
to symptoms that are scary to
sort of deny their seriousness.
We initially attribute them to
something more benign."
Moser said.

The Promotion Study
discusses emotional issues
with patients such as not be-
ing embarrassed to call an
ambulance and patients not

feeling like they are trou-
bling others by seeking help.
It also promotes the advan-
tages of getting treatment
early. preventing death and
minimizing heart damage
maybe even up to the point
that it seems that they have
never had a heart attack.

“We don't scare people."
Moser said. “We don't say. ‘If
you don't come early you‘ll
die!‘ We talk about the benefits
of responding early.“
