Safety restrictions upset
students living in dorms

Security: New policy limits visitors to family members
and UK students and requires ID to enter buildings

By Derek Poore
STAFTIIWITITERV r M

Harsh criticism met
llK's decision to tighten the
campus dorm visitation poli-
cy Tuesday:

On Monday night. stu
dents were informed of the
new policy by the Division of
Student Affairs. which cited
a recommendation from UK
Police and the Lexington
Joint Terrorism Task Force.

Under the policy. only
UK and LCC students. facul-

ty and staff. and family
members of students may
visit dorms. UK or LCt‘ IDs
must be displayed to enter a
dorm at all times. even if the
student is a resident of that
particular dorm. The policy
took effect this morning.

Associate Dean of Stu-
dents Tony Blanton said the
decision was based on safety
issues.

“There had been a lot of
talk of potential terrorist
targets.“ Blanton explained.
“The university would be a

 

place for terrorists to get
headlines." Blanton went on
to say that universities are
considered “soft targets" be-
cause they lack defense and
security.

Dorms aren‘t the only
campus buildings being af-
fected. Blanton said. "The
university will take a look at
vulnerable areas and lock
down buildings that aren't
public." Blanton said. "Other
areas will have added securi-
ty. like labs where medical
research is done,"

Chaos: Sandstorms disrupt U.S. advancement;
insurrections, attacks rock southern city of Basra

ASSOCIATED PRESS

American infantry troops fought off a desert at
tack by Iraqis on Tuesday, inflicting heavy casualties
in a clash less than 100 miles from Baghdad. British
forces battled for control of Basra. a city of 1.3 mil-
lion souls sliding toward chaos.

Defense officials, who spoke on condition of
anonymity, said between 150 and 500 Iraqis were
killed in the battle near An Najaf. adding there were
no immediate reports of American casualties.

Iraqis launched their attack on a day of howling
sandstorms — weather bad enough to slow the US.-
led drive toward the Iraqi capital.

Despite the adverse weather in some parts of
Iraq. U.S.-1ed warplanes bombed targets in the north-
ern part of the country and briefly knocked govern-
ment television off the air in the capital. And US.
troops in control of a vast Iraqi air base sealed 36
bunkers, designated as possible hiding places for
Saddam's elusive weapons of mass destruction.

American officials issued fresh cautions, as well.
about the possible use of chemical weapons by Iraqi
troops, although none has yet been used in the 6-day~
old war — or even found by the invading troops.

As the pace of combat quickened, American and
British officials sought to prepare the public for
something less than a quick campaign, and predicted

difficult days to come.

Still. President Bush forecast victory. “The Iraqi
regime will be ended and our world will be more
secure and peaceful," he said after receiving a war

update at the Pentagon.

Not surprisingly, Saddam saw it differently. State
television carried what it described as a message
from him to tribal and clan leaders. saying. “Consid~
er this to be the command of faith and jihad and

fight them."

If confirmed. the initial reports of fighting near
An Najar would make it the biggest ground clash of

The new policy

Under the new policy, only

Everyone, including dorm
residents, will be required to

cuss the new restrictions on

Correction

The Kernel incorrectly listed the length of student
trustee Joe Ruschell‘s term in previous articles.
Ruschell will serve until June 30, 2003. The new SG
president will take office July 1 and become the new

the war. as well as the first
encounter between advanc-
ing American infantry and
the Iraqi units guarding
the approach to Saddam's
seat of power.

A senior military offi-
cial said the US. troops
had hunkered down
against a sandstorm. less
than 100 miles south of
Baghdad. when lraq15 W ei-
ther Republican Guard or
paramilitary Iraqi troops

fire with rocket-propelled
grenades.

Some of the 7th Caval-
ry's equipment was dam-
aged in the attack. the offi-
cial said.

The unit is part of the
Army force driving on
Baghdad. Some elements of
the force are farther north,
near Karbala. with only
the Medina armored divi-
sion of the Republican
Guard between them and
Baghdad.

Details were sketchy. as
well. of the situation in-
side the southern city of
Basra. Iraq's second-
largest.

British journalists re-
ported that residents were
staging an uprising against
pro-Saddam forces and that
Iraqi troops were firing
mortars at them.

British forces staged a

raid on a suburb of the
city. captured a senior
leader of the ruling Baath
party and killed 20 of his
bodyguards.

"He‘s sitting there in
his little room thinking
he's having a good morn-
ing and whap. we're in.
whap. we're out.“ boasted
Col. Chris Vernon, a
British Army spokesman.

The Iraqis denied all of
it. “The situation is sta-
ble." Information Minister
Mohammed al-Sahhaf said
in an interview with Al»
Jazeera. an Arab satellite
television network.

United Nations Secre-
tary-General Kofi Annan
and others have warned of
a possible humanitarian
crisis in Basra.

The International Red
Cross said during the day
that it had begun repairs at
a war-damaged water-
pumping station serving
the city.

Thus far in the cam-
paign known as Operation
Iraqi Freedom. Americans
said they had taken more
than 3,500 Iraqi prisoners.
There was no accurate
death toll among Iraqi
troops or civilians.

American losses ran to
20 dead and 14 captured or
missing. The remains of
the first two to die were
flown overnight to Dover
Air Force Base in
Delaware.

A total of 20 British
troops had also died, in-
cluding two killed Monday

by friendly fire.

Weather or not. the
U.S.-led invasion moved
ahead.

The US. Central Com-
mand, which oversees the
war. announced the cap-
ture of an Iraqi military
hospital used as a military
staging area.

Officials said Marines
confiscated more than 200
weapons and stockpiles of
ammunition and more
than 3.000 chemical suits
with masks. as well as
Iraqi military uniforms.
The Marines also found a
T-55 tank on the com-
pound.

Elements of the US.
3rd Infantry Division were
about 50 miles from Bagh-
dad and hit Republican
Guard units defending the
Iraqi capital with an all-
night artillery barrage.

Thousands of other
troops hastened — as much
as the sandstorms would
allow —— to join them for
the coming battle against
Saddam‘s seat of power.

But some helicopters
were grounded by the
weather, and combat air-
craft taking off from the
USS Harry Truman re-
turned a few hours later
without dropping bombs
on their targets.

Distant explosions
could be heard in Baghdad,
and efforts were underway
to dig deeper defensive
trenches around the city.

Bush, after receiving
his war update, said US.

 
   

forces were clearing ap~
proaches to the port city of
Umm Qasr of Iraqi-laid
mines. “Coalition forces
are working hard to make
sure that when the food
and medicine begins to
move it does so in a safe
way." he said.

Sensitive to interna-
tional criticism that relief
was slow in reaching
Iraqis. the administration
dispatched national securi-
ty adviser Condoleezza
Rice to the United Nations
for a discussion of the is—
sue. White House
spokesman Ari Fleischer
blamed Saddam for slow-
ing the flow of goods by
placing mines near Umm
Qasr.

The war unfolded side
by side with diplomatic
maneuvering.

Speaking in Toronto.
the American ambassador
Paul Cellucci said Cana-
da’s refusal to send troops
to the war effort has upset
and disappointed the Unit-
ed States and caused a
“bump in relations."

In Saudi Arabia, For-
eign Minister Saud al-
Faisal said his country has
contacted the United States
and Iraq with a peace pro-
posal, and was awaiting a
response.

He did not disclose the
proposed terms. The Bush
administration said it was
not aware of any Saudi

Bull riding, music
made to entertain

ROBBIE CLARK | KERNEL stm

Jennifer Dishner shows off her skills as an urban cowgirl riding the mechanical hull at Cadillac Ranch.

Not just country: Cadillac Ranch offers dancing,
drinks and a wide selection of live performances

By Moira Baqley
coatnisutmoynitrn

Don‘t bother donning
your Stetson (that‘s a cowboy
hat. for you city folks) if
you‘re headed to the Cadillac
Ranch this weekend. This
Lexington nightclub has far
more to offer than ballads of
whiskey and heartache.

“There's no truth to the
wives tale of us being a
backward country bar." said
co-owner Brad Alford.

“it doesn‘t matter what
sort of music you like. when
you walk in the door. you
will hear something you like
before you leave from the
his top-40 to the house band
playing anything from David
Allen Coe to AC DC."

Alford said while many
may not realize it. the (,‘adil-
lac Ranch has picked up
many of the bands that once
graced the stage of the now-

WWWJWKERNELCOM

 

closed Lynagh's Club. includ-
ing Hank Williams III and
Charlie Robinson.

Besides great music. the
Cadillac Ranch offers some-
thing a bit out of the ordi-
nary for fearless urban cow—
boys ~r a mechanical bull.
Located in the center of its
large dance floor, this robotic
bovine dishes out a rough
ride to patrons brave enough
to give it a go.

Alford feels as if the 3-
year—old Cadillac Ranch is on
a playing field by itself.

“Every night is a concert
or dance club here; we can‘t
be compared to other bars."
Alford said.

If the variety of music
and fun isn't enough to drag
you in. the Cadillac Ranch
also offers specials for stu-
dents with a valid ID.

On Tuesday nights. there
is free admission and line
dancing lessons. On Thurs-
day nights. there is free ad-

mission. 2-for-1 bull rides for
guys and free bull rides for
ladies. A valid student ID
must be presented for these
specials. Ladies get in free
every night of the week.

Alford said that the
Cadillac Ranch has a loyal
following of regulars. but
that more and more UK stu-
dents are beginning to check
it out.

“We are seeing more UK
students come in here and
have a good time." Alford
said.

The Cadillac Ranch of-
fers something different
from the Lexington bar scene
7— a boot-scootin‘ good time.

If you go

Cadillac Ranch is located in the
Woodhill Showing Center at
2320 Palumbo Or.
