Just an idea

20 reasons beer should
be served at school

20. It's an incentive to
show up.

19. It reduces complaints
about low grades.

18. Complaints about
grading would be
few. because you
wouldn't care as
much.

17. Mondays would not
be as bad, because
you could just
continue the
weekend.

16. Fridays would be
even better, because
you could start
drinking during your
public speaking class
at noon.

15. It would help save on
heating costs in the
winter.

14. It encourages
carpooling. Got to
have a DD!

13. Less parties on the
weekend, thus
helping out the cops.

12. No one would
complain about a
short fall break
because school would
be that much fun.

11. All the food at
Commons would
taste better.

10. Everyone would look
a lot better, enabling
anyone to get a date
on Friday night.

9. Burping in the middle
of class would
somehow seem more
acceptable.

8. No one would get
nervous before a
presentation.
Everyone would be
sure his or her
demonstration would
be the best.

7. Imagine beer at K-
Lair. All the food
groups are filled:
Good food, greasy
food, salty food,
beer.

6. It would boost student
enrollment so much,
UK would be the
largest university in
the nation!

5. A much better chance
at seeing that cute
guy or girl who sits
next to you naked.

4. Imagine kegs all over
campus. The janitor's
closet will finally
have a purpose!

3. On-campus housing
would be where
everyone loves to be.

2. A photocopy of your
butt will serve as
your student ID.

1. Babbling and mumbling
incoherently will be
accepted from all
students, not just the
engineering majors.

Groups helping with
children also took part
in the holiday festivities

By Bohbiejo Winfrey
CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Students had an opportunity to
make a rendezvous with childhood
last night as children in brightly
decorated costumes came to their
doors in the residence halls. asking
for the traditional trick or treat.

The event was sponsored by
the various Residence Hall Gov1
emments and was in its third year
of spreading the Halloween sprit
in the halls campus-wide. It was an
effort to provide a safe place for
the faculty and staffs children to
go trick1or-treating. said Steve
Stauffer. area coordinator for
South Campus.

Community groups such as
Big Brothers and Big Sisters were
also invited to participate in the
event in order to encourage stu1
dent interaction with the society
outside campus.

“It‘s a good program because
its for Big Brothers and Big Sisters
and for faculty. and it's a good way
for the girls on my floor to develop
community by giving out candy to
little kids and seeing them in their
costumes.“ said Tara Watts. a psy-

Parking:
UK's hell
on earth

With relief nowhere in sight,
students lament the lack of
spaces around campus.

y Alan Slone

STATF WRITER

Parking complaints at Haggin and
Donovan halls have risen this year. as stu-
dents continue to struggle on a campus
with too many cars and not enough spaces.

Many students say they don‘t under-
stand why employee parking was made so
close to a residence hall.

“1 shouldn‘t have to pay to walk to my
car." said Juan [.oubriel. a biology junior
who lives in Haggin.

Others like Loubriel said carrying
laundry and supplies back from the K-lot
parking lot by Commonwealth Stadium is
hard. Making multiple trips from K-lot to
the halls is especially hard on Sunday
nights. when the shuttle buses don‘t run.

But some students have grown to ac-
cept it. “I’m sure that it's hard to find
spaces for all cars." said Clayton Richard
son. an English junior and an RA in Haggin
Hall. "There is no real solution."

Central and South Campus students
might be getting more hassles than North
Campus. North Campus has more street
parking. and an R] lot. which acts much
like the K-l.ot on South Campus. The R-
lot. though. is closer to the halls. -

Parking is also hard for Jared Moore.
an undeclared freshman who uses his car
four or five times per week. “It gets to be a
real pain to walk to K-lot now that it's get-
ting cold." said Moore. who has a K-lot
parking pass.

During the home football games. find-
ing a parking space somewhere besides his
designated lot was also hard. Students who
park in Klot must move their cars 24 hours
before a home football game. This leaves
many students like Moore struggling to find
a legal place to park their car, students said.

Undeclared freshman Mitchell Merrick
said many of his friends have gotten tickets
for parking in lots during home football
games. with a few of them getting towed.

“I think it’s ridiculous the prices that
you have to pay to get a K-Lot pass, consid1
ering how high tuition is here." Merrick
said.

UK parking officials could not be
reached for comment.

her to be involved in the event.

Although the trick-or-treat

Halloween tradition
renews again tonight

By Jennifer Caldwgll
STAFF WRITER

The Boyd-Patterson Haunt-
ed House. a tradition at UK for
22 years. gears up tonight.

Students from UK resi-
dence halls will transform the
basements of the Boyd-Patter
son Complex into a mirage of
ghouls and goblins for the
event.

Many students said they
consider the event enjoyable.
“I was very surprised at how
good it was.“ said Andy Tat-
man. a finance junior who at-
tended the haunted house last
year. “It‘s very realistic."

To pull off the Haunted
House. the basements are sec-
tioned off into rooms. Student
organizations sponsor the
rooms. said Kevin Milner.
president of Patterson Hall‘s
Residence Hall Government.

There was little shortage
of help in preparing for the
event. Carter Adler. a music
senior and vice president of
the Patterson Resident Hall
Government. said many stu-
dents showed interest in help-
ing out. “We had a meeting.
and at least 20 people showed
up. That was about 20 people
just for our (Patterson-spon-
sored) room." Adler said.

Each year. about 16 rooms
in the residence halls are set
aside for the Haunted House.
Groups that participate receive
a roll of black plastic and tape

have only been open to resi-

organizations to participate.
But most of the rooms are still
sponsored by residence halls.

Besides giving students a
scare. the Haunted House will
benefit United Way and God's
Pantry. a local food bank. Last
year the event raised more
than $1.000 for the United
Way. and a number of barrels
of food for God‘s Pantry.

The event is open to the
public. it is not recommended
for children under 12. she
said. “We would love for the

Shrout said. “We don't dis-

want parents to be cautious."

Give your
car some
sweet love

By Kelly Irvin

STAFF WRITER

You’re driving along. The
oil light comes on. You freak.
go to the nearest gas station.
and realize your car could
have (lied. This is an all-too
common scenario for college
students.

October is (‘ar l‘are
Month. Dan Dickson. a
spokesman for AAA. said the
association's Blue Grass Keir
tucky chapter is notifying mo—
torists that they need to start
taking proper care of their ye
hicles.

“Five million breakdowns

‘an be avoided each year if

people would check their tires.
hoses and belts." Dickson said.
pointing to a recent survey
that showed motorists are not
properly caring for their cars.

Some students are aware of

these necessary car checkups.
but don't want to take the time
to do it. Lisa Burton. an inte»
grated strategic communica-
tions freshman said many stu
dents don‘t consider or don‘t
thitik about an oil change or
getting new wiper blades.
"Keeping my oil changed isn't a
priority on my list when you
have to consider gas costs and
other needs and wants." Burton
said.

Undeclared sophomore
Brandon Shields agreed, “The
only reason I maintain my car
is because my dad is always on
me about it.“

AAA stresses that if a car
is neglected. it may affect not
only your wallet. biit also your
safety. Justin Schaefer. a fi-
nance sophomore. found this
out firsthand when his car
overheated while driving
home. “Apparently the engine
blew up because there was no
oil in it." he said. “My parents
were pissed because it cost
$1000 to get it fixed."

Students aren‘t the only
ones who can‘t find the time.
“As a faculty member." said
English professor David
Miller. "I know what academic
life is like. Because of sched-
ules. finding time to change
the oil is a killer."

Dickson. the spokesman
for AAA. suggests preventive
maintenance. Money is a con-
sideration. btit the choice is to
pay for care in advance for a
small amount of money. or pay
a lot more when you're car
breaks down. “Students are
vulnerable." he said.

Mitsubishi posted its first-

year ending March fl]. 1998.
f The company then began re-
l structuring. and Mitsubishi
1 rebounded to a slight profit
1 the following fiscal year.

The job cuts are part of the
i restructuring plan. By March
i 2001. Mitsubishi Motors' total

work force will be reduced to

78.900 employees from 88.800

last year. In fiscal 1990. the

company cut 2.500jobs.

The reductions will be

achieved mainly through at-

tritéon. including hiring fewer

people anti encouraging early
retirement.

Earlier this month. Mit-
subishi Motors announced it
was forging an alliance with
Sweden's Volvo AB in an effort
to strengthen its truck busi-
ness. In that agreement. Volvo
will buy a 5 percent stake in
Mitsubishi. while Mitsubishi
will buy up to 5 percent of V0]-
vo by the end of 2002.

The deal is part of a wave
of increasing foreign involve-
ment in Japan's auto sector.
which is striving to become
more competitive.

Nissan has said it will
trim 21.000 employees world-
wide. or 14 percent of its work
force. although it has also
promised not to resort to mas-
sive layoffs.

Japanese corporations
have long boasted a lifetime
employment system. in which
workers are virtually never
fired. although they must
work loyally for the same eni-
ployer without switchingjobs.

Mass layoffs. typical in
Western-style corporate re-
structuring. are extremely
rare in Japan. Even decisions
to trim workers through attri-
tion. up to now. have tended
to set of‘fa social backlash.

The job reductions. how-
ever. are also taking place out-
