Council wants guns kept out of Rupp

By Chris Padgett
Staffwrim

The Lexin on—Fayette Urban Coun Council
are trying to eep ns out of public bui dings and
Rupp Arena after t e concealed weapons law goes
into effect this fall.

Council member Jack Hillard yesterday brought
the proposal to the council, which sent it to the city
law department to write a city ordinance. Hillard
said the council tentatively passed the proposed ordi-
nance.

The move comes in the wake of Kentucky’s new
concealed—weapons law and Hillard said it represents
a direct act of opposition a ainst the state—wide con-
cealed-carry law that will ta e effect Oct. 1.

The law allows Kentuckians over 21, the opportu-
ni?‘ to carry a concealed hand n ifthey take a gun-
sa ety course and pass a test. illard said in January
the council sent a resolution to state lawmakers ask—
ing them to oppose the concealed—carry bill.

“Fortunately they did allow local governments
some options,” Hillard said.

Under the proposal, all facilities owned by the
Urban County Government would not permit guns
to be carried inside. Hillard said Ru p Arena, the
Kentucky Theatre and Lexington Pub ic Library are
some of the buildings the ordinance would effect.

“Members of the council whole-heartedlv support
this proposal,” said Bobby Fl mm a counci member
from District 8. “\Ve do not elieve that individuals
should be able to carry concealed weapons in Rupp
Arena or in any public place.”

Kath Pratt, a council member from District 2,
shares F nn‘s sentiment.

“No, do not believe the individuals should be
allowed to carry a handgun in any public building,”
Pratt said.

UK Athletic Director C. M. Newton supports
Hillard’s proposal and attended a news conference
Monday to voice UK’s support of the )roposal. At
the news conference, Newton said that e would see
that UK takes measures to see that the ban includes
other UK athletic events.

“I felt it was important, and Coach Newton
agreed, to have something on the books prior to the

state law being in effect October 1," llillard said.

Ellen Rasnick, an undeclared freshman. is con—
cerned about the new concealed-carrj.‘ law.

“The law is totally irresponsible," Rasmck said.
“It makes too many assumptions and places too
much power in the hands of criminals."

Some supporters of the concealed—carry law con—
tend it is their constitutional right to carry a hand—
gun.

“I don’t see where the problem is," said Michael
Thomas, a UK Chandler Medical Center staffer.
“All the law does is allow law-abidingr (citizens) the
opportunity to provide protection for themself and
those around them."

Thomas believes the law makes a statement to
would—be criminals that law-abidingr citizens are not
going to be victimized any longer.

Cathy DeVVild, an employee of a small business
on Limestone Street, supports the concealed
weapon law.

“A resident who is law—abiding and who has taken
a course on gun safety should be able to carry a con-
cealed weapon."

Trees, flowers and all that nature stuff will be cel-
ebrated Saturday at the UK Lexington/Fayette
Urban County Arboretum on Alumni Drive.

Saturday’s event is in coo ration with Arbor Day
festivities on the same day. t will offer activities the
whole family can enjoy while becoming more envi—
ronmentally aware.

Arbor Day traditionally celebrates planting trees
and encouragin environmental education. This
year, Friends 0 the Arboretum will be holding
“Arbor Day at the Arboretum” from 9 am. to l p.m.
at the arboretum.

This is followin Friday night’s rece tion for 60
founders at the Be House where both ayor Pam
Miller and Chancellor for the Lexington Campus
Elizabeth Zinser will speak.

“W'e’re making a s ecial effort to get youn col-
lege students involve , not only landscape arc itec—
ture and agriculture students, said Dortha Oatts,
secretary to Friends of the Arboretum.

Ho ing to encourage people to come and enjoy
the Ar oretum, the event is offering a special mem—
bership offer to students.

For $5 dollars, UK students can join the arbore—
tum for one year. Of course, to attend Saturday’s
event, money is not necessary.

Last year’s event drew about 800 people and

a ltcsiltuis'ni hloo

   

   

sponsors are hoping to equal that number this year,
weather permittin , but many people still do not
know about the fac1 ity.

“Most people were not aware of the arboretum
unless they know someone who knew about it,” said
Suzan Hatton an arboretum founder, who has been a
member since December 1995.

The event is offering three tents of entertain-
ment for Saturday’s event including: speakers, chil-
dren’s events and vendors.

The speakers scheduled to erform are Mitchell
Van Yahres, chairman of the irginia House Agri-
culture Committee, who will discuss the preserva—
tion of trees on ublic roperties. Wildlife specialist
Tom Barnes w o wilf be encouragin peo le to
develo gardens in their backyards. riter Shelly
Goldb oom will discuss the personal benefits of gar-
dening.

“ e are also having pony rides, for the children”
Oatts said.

The 100 acre sanctua offers a 2.1 mile Walking
Across Kentucky trail anldlvarious benches and gaze~
bos for the enjoyment of the public.

Despite Saturday’s celebration, arboretum volun-
teers still stress the need for additional volunteers all
round.

“We need folks who will spend time up there,
working in the gardens,” Hatton said.

Other events the arboretum sponsors during the
year include the plant swap. At this event, people

Alumni make almost annual trips
back to UK to visit and see how much
the campus has changed. Most see sig-
nificant changes in how the campus
looks when they do come back.

When 1-1.8. Alderdice came back to
Lexington to visit last week, he said
the c anges could be described as
major, to say the least. Alderdice grad-
uated from UK in I929, back when
campus consisted only of a few build-
ings on North Campus.

Since that time, the University has
expanded far and wide, now incorpo-
rating 673 acres of land. This expan—
sion did not go unnoticed by

Alderdice.

“It’s ch ed so much that I don’t
know where am,” he said. “I don’t
recognize anything around here.”

Another change he recognized was
the Chandler Medical Center. He said
when he was owin up, he used to
plow that land imsel .

“I broke that ground with a plow

take his share of sciences because of his
degree in vocational agriculture,
including sciences such as chemistry
and physics, as well as sciences related
to his field of study.

While attending school, Alderdice
also played for the Wildcats’ football
team. He played both offensive and
defensive tackle under coach Harry
Gammage, the UK coach from 1927—
33.

Football was different back then. In
those days, the Cats didn’t have the
plethora of scholarships they have
today to enable layers who wanted to
attend UK to p a football. That was
also before UK p ayed its home foot~
ball ames at Commonwealth Stadi-
um. nstead the games were played at
Stoll Field, next to where the Student
Center is located now.

Another difference between UK
then and now was in basketball.
Alderdice graduated two years before
Adolph Rupp took over the Wildcat
program.

In fact, basketball back then was
overshadowed by the football pro-

AWARE group
may change
llll curriculum

By Gary Wull
Staff ll 'rttrr

About 90 students, faculty and :nlministrators
congregated in the Student Center last night for an
.v\\\':\RE meeting to discuss what has been done
since the two recent attacks on campus and the elcv
vated racial tensions on campus.

Elisabeth Zinser, chancellor for the Lexington
Campus, handed out a list of ideas and proposals
that were spawned from an AVVARF meeting in
March.

“I do not present this with the point of View that
this is complete or is everything but simply a rt'llc't
tion of what could be responded to immediately."
Zinser said.

In the proposal, Zinser outlined four goals:

V'l‘o further improve the campus climate for all
students

VTo further enrich the learning community for
and about multicultural diversity

VTo further our ideals and practices of social
justice

VTo further the sense of community and stu—
dent centeredness of the campus

Among a list of 10 new initiatives for UK, the
most controversial issue was a plan concerning pos—
sible changes in the curriculum.

One of the possibilities that audience members
asked for was a required racism and diversity course.

However, a few in the crowd believed by requin
ing additional courses, it would increase the difficul-
ty to finish the University Studies requirements.

However, others responded by focusing on the
overall college experience.

“Colle e is life, not preparation for life," Dean of
Students David Stockhatn said. “We don't only deal
with textbooks but with all the issues affecting cam~
pus.”

Louis Swift, dean ofundergraduate studies, said
the University Studies Committee thought that one
sin le course might not be the answer.

fnstead, Swift said that by this fall the committee
wants to ask all departments to begin looking at
ways they can introduce multicultural ideas into
their department’s curriculum might be a better
idea.

Swift also invited everyone to attend the com-
mittee meetings to have a voice in what is going on
in courses.

Alliance Working to Achieve Racial Equality
leaders Kelly Meget and Jude McPherson used the
forum to give people a chance to express their feel-
ings, but more importantly, on how to ease the
racial tensions on campus with various events.

Union, spoke about the silent protest that has been

Campus groups looking
lor bone marrow donors

By Kathy Railing
Staff 1V ritrr

Two student organizations are
teaming up today to search for
bone marrow donors for two
Lexington children.

Circle of Imani and Al ha Phi
Alpha Fraternity will old a
donor drive today. Through the
drive, the groups hope to find
transplant matc es for six—year~
old PJ. Trumbo, a leukemia
patient, and Anthony Gartin, 7,

who has aplastic anemia. Both
boys need a transplant to survive,
said Renata Hambrick, Circle of
imani president.

Hambrick said her organiza-
tion decided to become involved
with Central Kentucky Blood
Center to find donors as one of
its community service projects.

“We're focusing on finding
African-American donors
because of their low amount on
the donor registry nationwide
and on trying to educate people

Hambrick said.

“Your chance of finding a
match are higher within your
race."

Hambrick said of the more
than 1 million people listed on
the national marrow registry,
only 7 percent are black, showing
a need for more donors from the
race to increase patients’ chances
for locating a match.

To be tested and placed on
the registry, those coming to the
drive will have blood taken.

From the blood, lab tests will
determine bone marrow type.
Names and types will then be
listed on the national registry,

brick said.

She said although the drive is
focusing on recruiting black
donors, people of all races are
needed on the registry due to the
low probability of finding donors
compatible with those who need
transplants.

Just 3,463 bone marrow trans—
plants have been done in the
United States.

Hambrick said those in need
of transplants have a 30 percent
chance of finding a match in
their families, but if that is
unsuccessful, the chances
decrease rapidly.

“The more people on there
(the registry) the better the
chances,” Hambrick said.
