Another UK Stores employee was suspended
without pay earlier this week. said UK
spokesman Jay Blanton. The university declined
to release the employee's name and said it is con-
tinuing to investigate the situation.

Three other department employees. Mark
Renfro. Stephon Carter and Stacy Crossley. were
suspended without pay in the end of September
following an investigation into missing invento-

ry. Renfro resigned from the university on Oct. 4.

UK police received an anonymous tip on
Sept. -2. prompting them to investigate the de-
partment. acting Police Chief Joe Monroe told
the Kernel in a Sept. 30 article. UK police
searched Renfro's home looking for potential
missing inventory and recovered $1.20) in com-
puter hardware and software and $4,000 in ra-
dios. televisions and VCRs. The police report
also listed $4,000 in stolen property that was not
recovered.

No arrests have been made in the case. Mon-

roe said yesterday. Monroe said previously that
UK police are investigating the entire stores de-
partment as a whole.

The UK Stores Department streamlines pur-
chase orders for different university departments.
1t places orders for the department - including
things such as computer hardware and software.
medical goods. office supplies. and other prod-
ucts — and then bills the departments and deliv-
ers the products to them.

UK Stores has an average daily inventory
value of about $1.8 million.

Suspicious
package prompts
oliee to shut

down Limestone

By Jonathan Smith
ismith@kykerne| corn

Sections of South Limestone. Jersey.
Maxwell and Pine streets were temporarily
closed last night after someone reported see»
ing a suspicious package in front of the Good
Samaritan Hospital parking garage. said UK
Police Officer David Alessi.

The package , which appeared to be a
suitcase .._ was spotted around 10 pm. said
Lt. David Lyons of Lexington Police. The
Lexington Police Department responded irri—
mediately and closed streets within 100 feet of
the package in all directions.

The Hazardous Deyices Unit arrived at
11:45 pm. to inspect the package. and Lyons
said it would probably take them two hours to
clear the scene from that point.

"The trained experts come in and examine
the package." Lyons said. "They havc to ei-
ther verify if it is safe or render it safe."

Lyons said that a package is verified safe
if it is determined that the contents are not
dangerous. A package is rendered safe if
something inside has to be removed for it to
be made safe.

Lyons said that when a situation like this
occurs. the police department gives the neigh—
boring businesses the option of staying put or
evacuating.

“We highly recommend they evacuate."
Lyons said. "but it‘s up to the business owners
to choose."

The department usually forces establish-
ments with primarily glass exteriors to cvacu~
ate. Lyons said. Huddle House which is
covered in glass on its exterior ~ on the cor—
ner of South Limestone and Maxwell was
evacuated. and nearby (‘hipotlc was in the
process of closing.

Police will usually allow occupants in an
establishment that has primarily a brick or l'a-
cade exterior to stay until the situation is
cleared.

At the Kashmir restaurant just right of
(‘hipotlc. police forced people to leave.

Blwindel Singh was inside of the restau-
rant when the police told him he had to leave.
regardless of who was still inside.

“They tell you to get out, 1 was scared and
so 1 went out." said Singh. who camped out
on Jersey Street until everything was resolved.
“1 told the police officer that my family was
still upstairs. and they told me to get out."

At the (iood Samaritan Hospital parking
structure across the street from Kashmir.
Alessi ordered those still inside the loft to re»
main where they were.

By Blair Thomas

news@kykerne|. com

Student Government showed early support
for domestic partner benefits at last night's Oper~
ations and Evaluations Committee meeting.

College of Law Senator Tom Rauf introduced
a resolution to support the ability of UK to offer
these benefits to its faculty and staff.

“()ffering domestic partner beneﬁts is a sim—
ple yet important way for the university to
demonstrate its commitment to diversity and to

Flat quo tm. Suharto-in tau» a «on.

set high standards for the fair treatment of all its
employees and students." Rauf said.

The resolution says SG supports the imple»
mentation of domestic partner benetits as a tool
for successful recruitment and retention of the
best faculty. staff and students.

“This is a very~well researched resolution."
said committee chairman Sam Gaines. "It is an
important issue that affects the entire university.
and 1 think it is important for Student (lovem-
ment to take an active role."

Several of UK's benchmark universities offer
domestic partner beneﬁts. as well as the Univer-

sity of Louisville. Indiana University. Ohio State
University and the University of Illinois. accord-
ing to the resolution.

Local industry leaders chmark lntemational
and Toyota Manufacturing offer such benefits.

For the resolution to be passed. it must be ap
proved by the full Senate at next Wednesday‘s
meeting.

“We want the administration to know that
students think this is an important issue." Raul
said. “We want them to take that into considera-
tron."

Amendment
Center gets
new name,
director

By Ashley Bowman

news@kykernel corn

The First Amendment (‘enter at UK is adoprr
ing a new name. though its mission remains the
same.

The center. which was tounded in 1987 and is
pan of UK's School of .loumalism and Telecomv
munications. is being renamed the Scripps
Howard First Amendment Center.

"It's being renamed in recognition that much
of the support has come from the Scripps Howard
Foundation and Judy (‘labes. the president of the
foundation." said Mike Farrell. who is the new
director of the center and an assistant professor in
the Joumalism school.

The center is also receiy mg “9250.000 in fund
ing from the Scripps Howard Foundation
q350.000 per year for the next live years.

Still. the center's mission isn't changing

According to its Web site. the mission of the
Scripps Howard First Amendment (‘entci' is "to
promote understanding of the l‘ll'Sl .»\mendmcnt
among citizens of Kciitircky. to advocate lor l‘11'\1
Amendment rights in the (‘omnionwealth and Ila
tionally. and to produce internationally recog
ni/cd scholarship concerning the l‘ll‘sl Amend
merit and its related freedoms.”

Farrell is a 20—year \eteran of The Kentucky
Post in (‘ovington. where he worked as a general-
assignmcnt reporter and then managing editor.
His work there played a large role in how he feels
about the First Amendment and why he belieyes
it should be protected.

with Mario Lopez. 33 - the near-

"He begged her to come." says

her. but they need to talk it out."
Though the pair engaged in

The Owl‘s Map

WRFL’s music director is attempting to get Lexington hip
to artists on a small independent British label called Ghost
Box. and I certainly have been won over. Ghost Box hosts
only four artists. but all four hold tightly to the original mis-
sion statement that aims to unearth “library music." or sounds
and samples from ‘605 and ‘705 television and film. many
from the BBC Telephonic Workshop. and incorporate them
into fresh. whimsical music.

Belbury Poly is the best of the roster, and their latest The
Owl‘s Map is a multi-dimensional transient journey through
night moods. The Owl’s Map is beautifully strange and other-
worldly. yet remains playful enough resemble a soundtrack to

The Owl‘s Map stays in the major key throughout and culti—
vates spacey synthetic melodies that are subtly catchy. Psy-

“The Comer on Classics" series presents

“Due to a change in audience. we‘ve
planned events that are a bit more fun." said
Summer Gossett. the marketing director for
the Singletary Center.

“We've decided to pull in younger peo-
ple. hence. The Drummers of Burundi."

The Drummers of Burundi feature twelve
drummers onstage — there are two members
dancmg in the front. The drummers enter the
stage with their drums balanced on their
heads. pounding out their sound for an hour.

“The drummers go back 500 years from
the Burundi king. The drummers have been
there for years. i...) There is a mixture of
drumming and dancing. The rhythm is fol-
lowing the two dancers in the front." said
Michael Panvini. the group tour manager and
a representative of Columbia Artists Manage-
ment. Inc.

The drummers play Taarab music. which
has influences from India to Japan to music
from the Middle East. said Panvini.

Vampire to 'theoretically' visit UK

By Ashlo Brake
featuresaky emolcom

Your parents were lying: Vampires are
real —- and one of them is coming to cam-
pus tonight.

The Student Activities Board is hosting
"Real Vampires." a lecture that is a pan of
the Theoretical Thursdays series tonight at
Memorial Hall. Though many people are
familiar with fictionalized vampires. SAB
is bringing an actual vampire to UK to ed—
ucate students on this lifestyle. said Megan
Spalding. SAB‘s director of Theoretical
Thursdays.

“This program will offer a different
subculture demographic that we think stu-
dents will really enjoy." Spalding said.

Theoretical Thursdays is a series de~
signed to bring intellectual discussions and
allow students to debate opposing opinions,
Spalding said. The series aims to bring new
and different programs to UK that students
are not used to seeing.
