Outreach: UK's commitment to community
part of neighborhood revitalization project

By John Wampler

Mrwsmuon

Residents of Lexington‘s
East End say the area has been
neglected for a long time. and
hope :1 8400.000 community
outreach initiative involving
I'K will help change that.

The initiative. announced
Friday. combines cooperation
between UK. residents and
more than 22 community orga-
nizations and government
agencies. It aims at helping ad-
dress family. educational.
housing and neighborhood re-
vitalization in the East End.

"This is what needs to hap—
pen to this area." said Betty
Wilson. a second year social
work student at L(‘(‘ who lived
in the East End all her life.

Wilson will serve as one of

the initiative's "outreach spe-
cialists." a resident who will
work with people in the East
End. discuss their problems
and give feedback to others in
the program.

"You can't come in anti tell
people what they need." Wile
son explained. “The people
have to tell others."

The initiative focuses on
the creation of the new ("om-

niunity Outreach Partnership
Center. which will be based at
the YWCA l’hyllis Wheatley
(‘enter on Chestnut Street

Retia Walker. dean oi the
School of Human Environnien
tal Sciences, said that the
process began in 1099 when
.lerry Briiiiiwell. former I'K
vice president. brought a
group of deans and l‘ejlt‘r‘sr‘lllil'
lives from the r'oiiiinunity to
gether to discuss how I’K
could get more engaged in the
community

A proposal was twice the

In the past. students may
only have ventured into the
basement of Whitehall Class-
room Building to mail a letter
or buy stamps.

in the basement." he said.

Carl Eberhart. a math pro-
fessor. said the math depart-
ment has needed a resource
center for a long time. He said
the new Mathskeller is more
than a computer lab.

“It's a good place to hang
out." Eberhart said.

Students can take breaks
during long study sessions at
the coffee bar. which includes
a microwave and refrigerator.

Eberhart said students
can even print math assign-
ments for free. He said this
perk would continue so long as
the service is not abused.

Paul Eakin. a professor of
math. said Mathskeller‘s main
benefit is the atmosphere for
learning. He said group work
is helpful to mathematicians
Students can reserve a study
room for this purpose.

“Mathematicians learn
math primarily through shar<
ing their knowledge and work-
ing for deeper understanding
with colleagues." Zakin said.

George Landon. a comput-
er science senior. said his pro-
fessor made him work in ei-
ther the Mathskeller or the
older math computer lab.

“I prefer the Mathskeller."
he said. “It's good for group
work."

“Todd had stuck around.”
Griffin said. "He was helping
students with homework."

Those who didn't get help
from the president can attend
tutoring sessions or ask pros

Eakin said Mathskeller
was created so students could
study and learn. as mathe»

“Space. food. accessrbility.

Helping the community
The East End Community Outreach
Partnership Center will offer these pro-
grams to help residents address issues:
Community-Family Resource:
Will create six Village Exchange Groups
to share skills toward self-sufficiency

To help families bridge gaps between
home and school, such as improving
student performance and decreasing

Housing Revitalization: To help
residents improve housing conditions.
address tenant issues and increase op-
portunities for home ownership
Neighborhood Revitalization: to
promote business development in the
area, provide small business training
and promote clean-up projects

President says
he won't take
possible bonus

ASSOClAiED PRESS

LEXINGTON ----- President
Lee Todd said he wouldn't ac-
cept a possible 3100.000 perfor-
mance bonus at the end of his
first year. because of the
school’s tight budget.

“I‘m not gomg to take it,"
Todd told the. Lexington Her.
ald-Leader. “In tight budget
years. it‘s not the right time
to do it."

The bonus is part of Todd's
five-year contract. which start-
ed July 1. 2001. It offered a
bonus on top of his 3265.000 an-
nual salary. if he met certain
performance goals his
first year. Todd replaced
Charles T. Wethington

But state budget restric-
tions recently cut $6 million
out of this year's funding. and
the cut is recurring. meaning
UK stands to lose $18 million
by the end of the next two-year
budget cycle.

The Board of Trustees ap-
plauded Todd‘s decision.

"To make that kind of
statement shows the caliber of
person that he is." said Loys
Mather. a faculty trustee.

"If faculty and staff are not
going to get a raise. he‘s not
comfortable with one either.
It‘s a very positive statement
about the concern he has for
employees of the university."

Todd said he's hoping to
find enough money so that em-
ployees won‘t have to bear the
burden of increased health in-
surance costs. which Todd esti-
mated could reach $5 million.

éfidy says students most liberal since

Leaning left: Report also finds trends toward interracial socializing,
support for marijuana legalization and aversion to organized religion

By Andrew Blankenship

CONTRIBUIlNG lRlTER

After a steady decline in
the early 90s. a recent report by
UCLA's Higher Education Re—
search Institute revealed that
liberalism is gaining renewed
popularity on college campuses.

The American Freshman
Survey. conducted annually
since 1966. found that nearly 30
percent of first year students
consider themselves liberal. an
increase from 27 percent last
year. and the highest number
since the fall of 1975.

Many students say they
have noticed the more liberal
atmosphere on campus. espe-

cially among undergraduates.

“I think it's a time where
they‘re simply more liberal be-
cause they have more free
dom." said Darnell Anderson.
an undeclared sophomore.

Though campus may seem
more liberal. some say there is
a large conservative presence.

“The majority of the people
I know are conservative." said
.iethrahain. an engineering se-
nior. “but I would say in my
opinion. college students would
be more liberal."

Of other students surveyed.
20 percent call themselves far
right. and nearly half call them.
selves "middle of the road."

"i don‘t think campus is

 

(more liberall." said Eden
Davis. a political science ju-
nior. “Most students replicate
their parents' values and people
around here are pretty conserv-
ative."

The labels conservative and
liberal by themselves can be
come misleading. said Stephen
\‘oss. an associate professor of
political science.

"The problem is this liberal
and conservative label is an ar-
tificial construct that mostly de-
scribes politicians and not ordi-
nary persons.“ \‘oss said.

Emily Rigdon. an econom-
ics senior. agreed With \‘oss's

says that within
two years, she'd
like to retire
from acting.
(Cynics may
wonder when she

am just going to
bow out," she
said on an
interview wrth
TV's “Extra,"
airing in two
parts today and
Monday. "I really
want to stop
everything and
be with my kids. l
have had a lot of
craziness, and it
is just time to
simplify." Not
that the 34-year-
old is necessarily
quitting show
business
altogether; in
fact, she may yet

bedroom. I was
thinking that i
would just take

Rock."

Tobacco growers face small quota cuts

LOUISVILLE W The burley tobacco quota
will decline 6.5 percent to 344 million pounds this
year. the US. Department of Agriculture an-
nounced Friday. Despite the decrease from 368
million pounds last year. growers won‘t be facing

Enron exec to testify before Congress

WASHINGTON A It s not just his company
that is weighted with debts. Kenneth Lay' s credi-
bility is now a liability on his personal balance
sheet. Once a man with intimate access to Wash
ington policy- makers the former chairman of
Enron Corp. appears before Congress on Monday
as a business titan condemned by former employ‘
ees and investors. They lost millions before the
energy company entered bankruptcy Dec 2. Until
then, he was the father figure of the nation's sev-
enth-largest company. Now. ex-Enron employees
are selling T-shirts printed with the message:
“Enron. the corporation that stole Christmas."
Politicians from President Bush on down who
welcomed Lay‘s generous political donations

Reporter still alive, newspaper says

KARACHI. Pakistan The Wall Street Jour-

porter Daniel Pearl to show evidence that he is
still alive after an all-night search of Karachi
graveyards turned up nothing. Pearl's wife and
an American Muslim group issued separate ap-
peals for his release. and emails purportedly
sent Saturday by the kidnappers gave conflicting
accounts of his fate. An e-mail received Friday by
US, news organizations claimed Pearl. 38, had
been killed and his body dumped in an unspeci-
fied cemetery in this city of 12 million people.

Seeking peace: Israeli-Palestinian conflict
one of main subjects discussed by attendees

ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Israeli Foreign Minister Shimon Peres said he
saw "a ray of hope" for Mideast peace Sunday. as the World Eco
nomic Forum focused on resolving long-standing global conflicts.

The 16-month Israeli-Palestinian fighting took the spotlight (II
a panel which was supposed to be devoted to future political. social
and economic trends likely to shape the world.

Participants at another session on the forums fourth day
talked about how to move the stalled Northern Ireland peace
process forward.

Peres welcomed an opinion piece by Palestinian leader Yasser
Arafat I11 Sunday's New York Times. saying it marked the first
time he indicated a readiness to discuss key issues and expressed
determination “to put an end" to the activities of terrorist organi
zations attacking Israeli civilians.

“I believe that despite all the very pessimistic views. there is
also a ray of hope." he said.

New talks with the Palestinians could lead to a ceasefire. Is-
raeli recognition of a Palestinian state and Palestinian recognition
of Israel's right to exist. Peres said. And eventually a final settle-
ment could be reached on the most contentious issues of borders.
refugees. settlements and Jerusalem. he added.

“The plan that we are now discussing is stop the war. then
recognize immediately the establishment of a Palestinian state."
Peres said. but he added that Arafat must first stop suicide attacks
on Israelis.

I11 Israel on Sunday Prime Minister Ariel Sharon announced
he would continue ceasefire talks begun last week with
the Palestinians.

But sotne critics interpreted the comments by Sharon and
Arafat largely as public relations efforts by a pair of leaders facing
mounting difficulties.

Israel has confined Arafat to the West Bank town of Ramallah
for the past two months. and the United States has demanded that
the Palestinian leader do more to crack down on militants.

At the forum. US. Sen. Hillary Clinton. DNew York. said the
United States “remains not only an honest broker but an essential
broker." But she said the Bush administration is not doing enough
to push the process forward.

Former U. S. national security adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski
echoed Clinton s assessment. saying the United States I1 is pursued
a policy of being a very cautious mediator“ and hasn t gotten to
“the heart of the problem."

About 2.700 participants at the five-day economic forum
ranging from corporate leaders to celebrities are discussing US
foreign policy. its possible role in breeding terrorism and the
down side of globalization. The topics are ample fodder for protest-
ers. who continued the demonstrations with a march supporting
animal rights Sunday afternoon.

The panel on Northern Ireland included George Mitchell. a
former US. senator who helped broker a historic 1998 peace agree
ment. David Trimble. leader of Northern Ireland's power-sharing
government. and Gerry Adams. leader of Sinn Fein. the political
partv linked to the Irish Republican Army.

Sundays round of demonstrations against the foi um was ex—
pected to produce a much lighter turnout than the demonstrations
Saturday. which attracted as many as 7 .000 people.

About 70 people were taken into custody on disorderly con-
duct charges Sunday afternoon after they blocked traffic in lower
Manhattan. 3 1 2 miles from the Waldorf-Astoria hotel where the
conference is taking place.

Police stopped about 200 protesters with the Earth and Animal
Liberation group from marching toward the Waldorf later Sunday
afternoon after some protesters smashed a glass door and threw a
red-paint filled balloon at an apartment building about a mile from
the forum.

It was not immediately clear whether any arrests were made,

1966. during the time of the Viet-
nam War protests and the Civil
Rights Movement.
