"ll breaks tradition
with new police chief

Kentucky ’5

firstfemole

New UK Chief of Police
Rebecca Langston doesn’t deny
she‘s a woman.

She’s been one for all 2-} years
of her law enforcement career.

But L'K‘s new chief of police is
the first woman to head any
police department accredited by
the Kentucky Association of
Chiefs of Police. In other words,
she is the first female police chief
in Kentucky history.

UK Vice President for Univer-
sity Relations Joseph T. Burch,
the person who chose Langston.
didn‘t consider her gender.

“She was the most qualified
applicant we had," he said.

Lan ston was thrilled to be
selectegon her own merit.

“I'm delighted to be here,"
Langston said. “I think it’s reat
of the University not to min that
I'm a female."

Burch said Langston‘s strong

background pushed her past 10 or
more other applicants. lle said
her understanding for the job and
familiarity with the community
were key.

Langston became a Lexington
police officer in 1073. She
ascended the ranks to become
captain. In October 1995,
she retired as captain to
become assistant police
chief at the L'K police
department.

She serves as assistant
chief until .luly l, when
she will replace retiring
chief of police “ill.
McComas.

\Vhen Langston was
given the job, she didn’t expect
L'K police officers to find out
immediately. But they did.
Langston was in a meeting when
her pager started spitting out con-
gratulatory messages.

Any changes Langston brings
to the UK police will focus on
taking care of basic services to the
best of their ability, she said.

So far, she’s given some
thought to realignment of staffers
and iob duties, but she says that
won't come right away.

And she hasn't forgotten the
recurring bicycle dilemma of the

 

Langston

last couple of years.

Last year's bike paths and tick-
ets have elicited positive feedback,
she said, from both pedestrians
and bicyclists.

Langston also addressed the
issue of releasing information on
crimes and accidents.

She said the need to release
information depends on “a
delicate blend" between the
victim’s right to privacy and
the publics need to know.
“Any release of information
needs to take into consider-
ation for the victim as well
as the witness," said
Langston, a member of the
Lexington Fayette Urban
County Government Violence
Prevention Board and chair of the
Partner Abuse Committee.

She said she wasn't against the
public‘s right to know, but some
cases warrant extra care for vic-
tims.

Sometimes the public and the
media force police to act too
quickly, she said, citing the
Olympic Park bombing last sum—
mer in Atlanta.

“l think the media ought to be
a little more humane," she said.
“Sometimes, the media (lose)
track."

The ca ital gasped for air. It

But UK relentlessly gathered
power and support from its outer

 

parts. It influenced through its

front. Ashland in the east made
another.

UK, with its far«reaching
political clout, pinched and

UK will still be able to offer
some administrative support,

board members to the body that
will oversee the community col-
leges and technical schools.

But it will no lon er have
direct control of the col eges.

A vote onS-l3 in the Senate
and 73-25 in the House of Rep-
resentatives assed the measure.

Despite t e sizable UK ties in
state government and around the

voted against public opinion that
favored leaving UK in control of

Charles (ieveden, D-VVickliffe,
said. “Remember all of Kentucky
is affected."

But UK did win a few minor
battles, including one for
the biggest iece of the

overnor's 40 million

Inding package for high—
er education —- $5.48
million.

State Senator Ernesto
Scorsone, D—Lexington,

rallied support for an PING"

amendment that would
have allowed L'K to retain con-
trol of the community colleges.

The amendment passed in the
Senate by one vote, but failed in
the House.

Scorsone voted for the post-
secondary legislation, despite his
beliefthat UK could better han-
dle the community colleges.

He said the hill 5 true test
would come in the first few years
following the transition.

 

Several UK loyal state legisla-
tors fought the bill to the finish.
Representative Herbert Deskins
Jr., D—Pikeville, asked House
members to listen to their con-
stituents and keep the communi-
tv college system under UK

irection.

Deskins said it would be
wrong to support the bill if UK
and the community colleges
0 posed it.

He added that the so-called
compromise on the community
college issue between Patton and
UK President Charles
' “ethington never
existed, contran to
a Lexington Herald—
Leader report.
“There is still
internal bleedin
left,” Deskins sai .
“We should not
rush to judge.”
Representative
Hobart Anderson, R- Flatwoods,
indicated his constituency lar ely
op sed the measure and sai he
di not want to see Ashland
Community College lose its tie
with UK.

Several legislators who sup-
ported the separation, like Reg-
resentative Gross Lindsay.
Henderson. cited benefits such
as inde ndence for the commu-

nity co leges.

 

Wothmgton

“They will have the indepen-
dence to serve the community
young and old," he said. “Before,
they only had what was left
over.”

Lindsay compared the com—
promise to the U.S. Constitu-
tional Convention.

He said not everyone agreed,
but in the end it was the best for
everyone

House Majority L eader Greg
Stumbo, D— Prestonsbur , said
the bill would be good or the
Commonwealth and was a great
compromise.

During discussion of the
bill, be said, “This will
increase the educational
attainment for adults. It
will brin stronger
research an enhance the
quality oflife.”

He called the act a “Blue-
print for the 2 lst Centu-

“

Aside from the separation, the
bill includes goals for UK and
the University of Louisville.

The government wants UK to
be 1n the overall top 20 of public
research universities by the year
2020 and wants U of L to
become a premier research uni-
versity for a metropolitan area.

tilt community
divided on issue

By Rob Herbst

Veil/or XII/if II 'rm'r

l‘he huge sigh ofrcliefheard
In the Bluegrass following the
piss-age of (Imernor l’aul I’at-
tons plan tor postseLond.Ir\ edu-
L Ition came from I e\ington
Community (.ollege.

LCC is the only community
college left in L'K's stable.

"I couldn’t find a single stu-
dent who was for the proposal,"
said LCC math instructor Larry
Mullins. “Ifthere was some sup-
port for the bill on campus, it

was very, \ery minimal."

Ialk about the proposal
reached a peak when both Patton
and UK President Charles
“'ethington held a teleconfer-
ence on KET Television, March
24 at 8 p.m.

Mullins had a calculus class to
teach after the teleconference
but found it difficult to conduct
class.

“My students were quite a hit
upset with (I’atton)," Mullins
said. “I had to let my students
talk about the issue for 20 min-
utes before I could start class.
And the reaction was very nega-
tive."

Brooke Browning, an LCC
student who was disturbed by the
possible detachment of the com-
munity colleges, hopes to even-
tually transfer to UK.

“I was hoping that LCC
would stay a part of UK,"
Brownin said. “If LCC left UK
I probabfil would have gone back
home and go to the (L niversity
ofI ouisxille)."

Jeremy Mobley, who has

attended classes .It I,(I(. since
1993, also had problems with the
proposal.

\Vhile Mobley would also like
to use LCC classes as .I "step-
ping—stone" to IR. there were
other benefits to being an l.(.C
student.

“I completely disagreed with
Paul I’atton. I think the commu—
nity college system should stay
one unit." Moblcy said. “There’s
some extra little perks to being
attached to L'K. I can get athlet—
ics tickets for [K games and use
the gyms and pools just like any
L'K student."

“'hile students at LCC were
vehemently against the proposal,
students at UK were divided.

jcremy Mobley‘s brother,
Casey, a geology senior at UK
disagreed with Patton‘s proposal
largely due to financial reasons
but said L‘K students as a whole
did not care about the measure.

don’t think people were
real concerned about the propos-
al." Casey said. “Students don‘t
go out of their way to think
about LCC.“

Vi'hile many L'K students did—
n't have a strong opinion on the
issue political science rofessor
Bradley C anon saw a (I ifference
of opinion from some faculty
members.

“Some members of the faculty
had strong opinions on either
side," said Canon who has been
at UK for over 30 years. “A good
number of faculty who were
against the bill were against it
because it hurt LKs legislative
clout."

Ridin a bus through the
streets (fltaly during the team‘s
1995 trip to l ,,urope several L K
players began chanting Nikes
tamous slogan “Just Do lt," to
then- coach Rick Pitino when the
topic of a new athletic apparel
supplier came up.

Two years and one coach
later, UK finally did it.

The UK Athletics Association
Board of Directors agreed two
weeks ago to a lO—year deal with
Nike that will have
every UK athlete ‘
donning the swoosh.

“It’s good for us,”
senior basketball
player jet'f Sheppard
said. “Vl'e’ve been

settle for something plain.”

Traditionally, UK coaches had
the final say on how to outfit
their respective teams, but with
Nike dan ling big bucks in front
of the goard's eyes, athletic
director (LM. Newton decided it
was time to uniform the teams.

“The potential to generate
the kind of dollars this could
generate from a royalty stand—
point was one of the driving
things, for me, to look at,” New-
ton said.

ln addition to the dollar
amount Newton took into con-
sideration, he also saw the
impact the deal would have from
an image standpoint.

“lfyou look on campus, most
of the students are wearing
Nike," said Newton.

Regardless of what the weather has
shown, summer at UK has begun.

For many students, summer is a time
to focus on academics. Some students
enjoy attending classes year round. The
only vacation time they receive is two
weeks at the end of summer.

The majority of students that partici-
pate in eight week summer classes do so

ecause the classes are more manageable.

“Classes are smaller, you get more
attention from the teachers, more stu-
dent involvement, much better than it is
during the academic semester," LaDonda
Shearer, a pre-pharma sophomore,
said. “There is not as mush, pressure.”

Tammy Cavitt, a social work senior,
enjoys the light-hearted atmosphere.

“The professors are more understand-
ing and they don’t require a lot out of
you," she said.

Michelle Pinckney, a psychology
senior, feels that students can focus dur-
ing the summer on classes to gain credit
hours and to raise their grades. She said
summer classes are also less strict and
give the student an opportunity to gradu-
ate early.

The lighter class load also eases some
of the stress even though it is “more
work in less time," says Pinckney.

The trio of students said they

refer summer classes to the regu-
l’ar academic year.

Some students would rather
attend summer school than stay at
home with parents. Students stay
in Lexin on or on campus
because 0 the lack of things to do
at home and to avoid their par-
ents.

Cavitt explains she lives in Lex-
ington during the summer to gain
freedom, to ow, and to learn and
experience t e real world.

Being at UK during the sum-
mer does have its conse uences,
though. The summer is o 'ously
a chance to be or become inde-
pendent, but it can also be a time
of persuasion, Pinckney said.

 

 
 
 
 
  
  
   
  
 
 
  
 
  
  
  
    
  
   
     
     
 
 
  
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
  

 

 

“Friends can, at times, pres-
sure you to do other things,” she ,.
said. “

Other students enjoy oing
home for the summer. hese
students have the opportunity of
relaxing, working or simply
spendin time with family.

For t e students that live far
from home, traveling during the
semester is almost impossible.
The summer is the only time for
them to spend quality time with
family members.

Students attending both sum-
mer sessions don’t have the
chance to make frequent trips
home.

But those students survived
the intense pressure of the four-
week and now can relax into
more of a summer mode.

The summer can brin peo-
ple together to form new 'end-
ships, but it can also be strenuous
on old friendships because of
distance. Several people that go
home for the summer try to
rekindle old friendships.

Taking classes in the summer,
however, is a way of meeting
new eople and creating new

frien hips.
