Mo' money? No problem: $5.5 million gift
sets Coldstream renovations off on good start

By Pat Clem
ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR

Powered by cash flow. the
dams opened for Coldstream
yesterday.

UK’s Coldstream Research
campus received a $5.5 million
check yesterday from Gov.
Paul Patton for the develop-
ment of roads, sidewalks, sew-
ers and utilities for the cam.
pus’ facilities.

The facility on Newtown
Pike contains 735 acres of open
space, 510 of which will be used
for development and 225 to be
used as an open recreation area,
complete with bike and walking
trails.

“This research park repre-
sents the future of UK. Fayette
County. and Central Ken-
tucky." Mayor Pam Miller
said. “Governor. this repre-
sents a large commitment on
your part to the future of our
communities.“

The money was allocated
to the project via the gover-
nor’s Surplus Expenditure
Plan for the fiscal year 1998-99.
The highlight of the check-ex-

changing was the ground-
breaking for a new $1.2 million
laboratory building at the
park. the second one being
built in the park.

“It is imperative that we
raise awareness of the impor-
tance of education in Kentucky."
Patton said. “We have to strug-
gle to improve people’s skills in
order to improve economic op-
portunities."

The development will bene-
fit greatly if UK reaches its goal
of becoming a top 20 public re-
search institution.

“If we could get UK to major
research status then it’ll create
industry.“ Patton said. “The rea-
son we‘re not where we need to
be already is that someone did-
n‘t do this like they should have
40 years ago."

The land allotted for devel-
opment will be leased out in lots.
The University‘s Board of
Trustees said none of the land
was to be sold. to en sure the
land is developed the way UK
wants.

The GTE phone compa-
ny has announced it will
donate $1.5 million to the
College of Engineering to
set up an endowed chair in
Computer Sciences. and to
help in the construction of
the Center for Networking

“We are very pleased to

The donation is coming
in the form of five gift in-

A suite

stadium

Top-dollar: Med Center chancellor,
BOT member among the buyers

By Matt May

With the 1999 UK football season less than six
months away. the picture of who will sit in Com-
monwealth Stadium‘s new luxury suites in the
revamped anti expanded stadium is shaping up.

UK has released a list of the tenants for the 40
new suites. which is highlighted by several high-
profile names in Kentucky and the Lexington
area.

Four iii-seat suites are being rented for
$52,800 a year. and require a minimum five-year
lease agreement. Those four boxes have already
been sold. The four suites have been rented by
several well-known area names: Jim Host of Lex-
ington‘s Host Communications. Inc.. Ralph An-
derson of Belcan Corporation. Luther Deaton of
Central Bank and Frank Shoop. a UK Board of
Trustees member.

The other 36 suites are 18-seat boxes that sell
for $39,600 a year. As is the case with the other
suites. the list of names reads like a who's-who of
Kentucky. including Dr. James W. Holsinger. Jr..
chancellor of the Chandler Medical Center; the
Gatton Business School's namesake Bill Gatton.
Curtis Green of Green’s Toyota of Lexington. John
McCall of LG&E Energy. who just bought Ken-
tucky Utilities. Royce Pulliam. owner of World
Gyms. and fortner football player Paul Karen.

The suites. which will open with the rest of
the stadium‘s expansion for UK‘s first game this
fall against Louisville. feature top-tier amenities.

Those amenities include 500 square feet of
space. 12 permanent theater-style seats and six
high-stool seats. air conditioning and heating. as
well as semi-operable windows that allow for
crowd noise.

Each box has a private restroom. kitchen and
service area. two televisions. a refrigerator. sofas
and a closet.

There is elevator access to the skybox level. a
suite parking area and each box is served a stan-
dard meal during the games.

The suites will be located primarily in the end
zone corners of the stadium.

It may not be (Thristmas. but visions of a wet
campus and lower arena basketball seats are danc-
ing in students heads. They‘re talking about their
wish list for SGA. Students are voicing their opin-
ions on issues they would like SGA to consider for
the 1999-2000 year.

Mikael l’elfrey. a civil engineering junior. is
tired of a dry campus and explained what he. wants
in just five words.

“I want a wet campus."

Andrea Elchuk. a middle school education
sophomore. said the move has done nothing to stop
underage drinking. anti “has added to the DUI prob-
lem.” she said.

Also on Pelfrey‘s list is a seat closer to the
floor at basketball games. “I think that (students)
are entitled."

Ditto for sophomores. Douglas Saunders and

ACLU lunges at delay

No waiting game: Union's lawyers, students
say 24-hour waiting period an undue burden

By Joshua Robinson

STAFF VRIIER

The American Civil Liber-
ties Union recently filed suit
challenging a Kentucky law
that requires a 24-hour manda-
tory delay for abortions.

In a strange twist of fate
though. the lawsuit was as-
signed to Judge John Heyburn.
the same federal judge who re-
cently struck down another
Kentucky abortion law.

Heyburn, a Federal Dis-
trict Court Judge in
Louisville, struck down one
Kentucky abortion law last
October after the ACLU filed a
first lawsuit.

That law was Senate Bill
121, also known as the partial-
birth abortion ban. Heyburn
would have to rule again on the
controversial abortion issue
and possibly overturn another
Kentucky law.

When asked about the
irony of being assigned both
cases, Heyburn declined to
comment.

After an intense battle in
the 1998 Kentucky legislative
session, state representatives
passed three new laws that reg-
ulated abortion in Kentucky.

Included was a 24-hour
mandatory delay for Ken-
tucky women seeking an abor-
tion. The law, called House
Bill 85. would require that
women receive information
about abortion alternatives
and consequences at least 24
hours before they can have an
abortion.

Lawmakers want women to

make an “informed choice"
about abortion, but the ACLU
says the 24-hour delay is unfair.

“What HB 85 requires,”
ACLU attorney Kim Greene
said, “is that a woman must
make a separate visit to the
abortion provider at least 24-
hours before she is deemed ca-
pable of consenting to the pro-
cedure. That is an undue bur-
den on some women."

Shannon Machholz. a
broadcast journalism senior.
also said the law was mis-
guided.

“I think the 24 hours is
more intended to prevent
women from having abor-
tions than to educate them
about it,” Machholz said.

Enactment of HB 85 has
been delayed, though, because
state officials cannot decide ex-
actly what information women
need to know during the 24-
hour waiting period. The fate of
HB 85 became even more un-
clear when the ACLU chal-
lenged the constitutionality of
the bill.

The ACLU lawsuit will ask
the federal court to rule on two
points. First. if making a
women wait 24 hours is an un-
due burden.

Because abortions are
only provided in Lexington
and Louisville, the ACLU ar-
gues that requiring two trips
for an abortion will be espe-
cially hard on low-income,
young and abused women.
and women who live in rural
Kentucky.

“1 see the point the ACLU is
making,” said Cheryl Downs, a

communications junior. “It
could burden some poor and
rural people.”

But not everyone opposes
the 24-hour delay.

Heather Burgin, a commu-
nications senior, said nothing
was necessarily wrong with the
delay before an abortion.

“Twenty-four
hours would give
women time to
weigh their options
before making the

choice," Burgin
said.

Amy Crouch
supports the 24-hour

waiting period. She

sions of other women.

The center is a privately
funded organization that
counsels women in crisis preg-
nanc1es.

Its main goal is to discour'
age abortions.

HB 85 would make private
counseling services. such as
those provided by the
center. a public func-
tion of the state of
Kentucky.

Get ready
for LABASH
celebration

Landscape architecture students will bring
worldwide festival to Lexington this year

Imagine if highways were
built without any consideration
for the future of the land. Or if
campuses were erected in the
middle of cities without any
thought of what could develop
in the surrounding area.

Well, have no fear,
LABASH (Landscape Architec-
ture Bash) 1999 is here.

Landscape architecture stu-
dents and design professionals
will be sharing insight and ex—
perience in Lexington at this
year’s LABASH 1999 downtown
at the Hyatt Regency.

“The international confer-
ence will feature workshops,
speakers, landscape tours and
social events that will give visi-
tors a taste of Kentucky.” said
Sarah Dykes. a landscape archi-
tecture junior and social coordi-
nator of LABASH.

LABASH debuted in 1970.
and has been around almost as
long as UK‘s landscape archi»
tecture program. But this is the
first time UK has ever hosted
the conference.

“It‘s really nice to have con-
tact with other students who
are landscape architect stu-
dents,“ Dykes said.

The conference is orga-
nized and run exclusively by
students. Each year different
universities compete for the
honor of hosting the event. UK

won the 1997 bid to host this
year’s conference.

“We went to the Universi-
ty of Arkansas and presented
a slide show about the Blue-
grass and its landscape, and
we won,” said Mark Bazzell,
landscape architecture senior
and co-chair of the LABASH
committee.

LABASH will have the
theme of “Review/Preview." It
focuses on the history of the
landscape architecture profes-
sion and reflect on what the fu-
ture may bring, Bazzell said.

“The American Society of
Landscape Architects is cele-
brating 100 years since its
founding this year,” Bazzell
said. LABASH 1999 is bringing
together more than 400 people
from about 40 schools from
around the world.

“We do have almost every
school that has a landscape ar-
chitecture program here,“
Bazzell said. “I think we are go-
ing to set a record for the num-
ber of representatives from dif-
ferent schools and countries.“

The landscape architecture
students have been preparing
for the conference for more
than two years. They have
raised half of the money for the
conference, and Bazzell traveled
to Europe to promote the event.

They arranged many speak-
ers, from authors to congress-
men to nature conservationists.

“There is a lot of residen-

It would be more convenient
and safer for students if there
were more parking places
available on campus that didn’t

THE HATCHET

WASHINGTON — A Stu-
dent Association executive
vice president candidate filed
a report with George Wash-
ington University Police this
week, saying he received ha-
rassing e-mails that threaten
to “destroy" his life if he does
not drop out of the race.

Derek Grosso, who faces
Caity Leu in a runoff this
week, said he received three e-
mails and one handwritten
note this month. Each letter
accused Grosso of raping a
woman and each is signed
“The Reaper."

“You wanted a recount,
well you can count on one
thing,“ the first e-mail said. “If
you don’t pull out of this elec-
tion and disappear, I will de—
stroy your life."

Grosso denies the charge
in the e-mail that he raped a
woman last semester.

“I know I've done noth-
ing like that." Grosso said. “I
would never do anything like
that.“

Other messages told
Grosso to “watch your (exple-
tive) back" and to “drop off
the face of the Earth."

“It’s talking about some-
one wanting to destroy my
life, wanting me to pull out of
the elections,“ Grosso said.

He said he became con-
cerned when he found a note
in his mailbox in the SA office
when he returned from spring
break.

“When someone’s e-mail-
ing, it‘s at a distance," he said.
“But if it‘s in my SA mailbox.
what‘s next, going to my
door?“

The emails were sent
from the GWIS mail system
from a fake e-mail address,

termgwuedu.

Grosso said he reported
the incident to numerous ad-
ministrative offices. includ-

E-threats
urge student
to drop out

Vice presidential candidate told to ‘watch
his back,’ accused of raping a student

vices. the Computer Informa-
tion Resource Center, and to
the Joint Elections Commit-
tee. which regulates student
elections.

UPD Director Dolores
Stafford said her department
will conduct an investigation
into the e-mails. Mike Walk-
er, senior assistant dean of
students. said if a student
feels his or her safety is in
jeopardy, an assault charge
can be filed.

“An assault charge in-
cludes fear of imminent (lan.
ger or injury." Walker said.
“That‘s likely to be extended
to an e-mail.“

Walker said Student Judi-
cial Services will wait for the
results of the UPD investiga-
tion before deciding on
charges. He said the rape alle-
gations do not correspond
with any investigation by his
department. Walker said the
period between the filing of
charges and a sanction usual-
ly lasts two weeks.

Grosso said he is unsure
who sent the email. UPI) and
CIRC will look at the path the
e-mails took to try and find its
origin. Walker said a student
is responsible for anything
sent from his or her e-mail ac-
count. even if he or she is not
the author.

Grosso said he takes the
threats seriously.

“It's an immature prank
that has gone too far and that
has become violent." he said.

Grosso said he believes
his candidacy for EVP is what
is driving the person to send
the letters. although he doesn‘t
know ifthe e-mails are linked
to any opposing campaign.

“It‘s sad to see that some-
one will threaten candidates."
he said. “What does it say for
the future of SA elections?"

Grosso said he finds it sus-
picious that the person (lid not
begin emailing him until elec-
tion season and that the per-
son has said he will back off if
Grosso drops out.
