library financing plan IJI‘OQI'BSSIIIQ

Ofi‘icials reviewing
options for bond sale

By Slephan Trimble
Executive Editor

Prospects for finding a financing plan to pay for
UK’s expensive new library are slowing taking shape,
a University official said Friday.

Unable to find a proper way to finance a $41 mil-
lion bond issue, University officials asked the Lex-
ington-Fayette Urban County Council on Wedne5<
day to postpone a final vote on the funding project
for two weeks.

The council was set to approve the second read-
ing of the proposal for UK’s Central and Life Sci-
ences Library on Thursday but took the item off the
meeting’s docket at the University officials’ request.

UK Vice President for Administration George
DeBin said his staff still is reviewing several financ-
ing options for the bond sale, which he expects to

settle by the council’s next regular meeting on Nov.
17.

“It’s taking a little longer, but it’s looking more
and more attractive,” DeBin said, adding the delay
won’t affect the library’s construction timetable,
which is projected to begin early next month.

The city’s bond issue will be paid back by an
annual $3 million payment by the UK Athletics
Association. In a complicated plan, a stream of rev-
enue from the Athletics Association to the Universi—
ty General Fund will be diverted to the Alumni
Association.

The city council will then issue the bonds to the
UK Alumni Association, who will eventually give the
library to the University.

“When you have a plan like this with this many
variables, it takes a while for everyone to get on
the same page,” DeBin said.

The delay fits tightly into a window UK officials
had expected, DeBin said. for the council’s final
approval.

The window extends until the last week of
November, allowing the bonds can be issued by the
first week of December, DeBin said.

DeBin flatly denied any speculation that the delay
was caused by comments made at a public hearing on
Tuesday that was sponsored by the council.

Lexington resident Don Pratt told council mem-
bers at the hearing they were being “railroaded” into
making a decision without hearing all of the options.

Former geologist Edward Wilson also voiced his
criticism of the proposed library site, which lies
between two sinkholes on Clifton Avenue.

Collapsed caves beneath the ground caused the
sink holes, he said, making the site potentially dan-
gerous for large buildings.

“The decision (to delay the council’s vote) had
nothing to do with that meeting,” DeBin said.

As soon as the bonds can be issued by the city
council, UK can begin construction work on the $58
million project. Library donors already have given
more than $21 million for construction and a book
endowment.

The city council is required by law to review the
bond issue, and a meeting between council members
and UK’s bond counsel, Spencer Harper, has been
scheduled for Friday morning, said Councilman
Willie Fogle.

Sherill ollers

Some students who have outstanding arrest war-
rants will get a chance to turn themselves in this
week without getting thrown in jail.

Thomas Clark said.

He said fines of
more than $2,500 and jail terms more than 90 days
are not uncommon in such cases.

Clark said the program has been used before as
an effort to clear up the backlog of unserved war—
rants.

Fayette County currently has about 19,000
unserved warrants, partly because many people -
including students, move often and are difficult to
track down.

Amato also must deal with a staffing shortage.

“There simply are not enough officers to serve
the warrants,” he said.

Often, warrants are served only after a police
officer makes a routine traffic stop and discovers
the driver has a warrant for his arrest, he added.

Officials from the sheriffs department empha—
sized that Operation Jailhouse does not imply that
individuals who voluntarily turn themselves in will
be given lenient treatment.

Ifa person faces jail time for a crime, he or she
still will face a possible jail sentence, Amato said.

“The program is to help the sheriffs office,
but there must remain respect for the court,” Clark
said.

Only people charged with misdemeanor crimes

 

 

will be able to take advantage of the program.

Campus group collecting coats lon needy

By Chrls Jackson
Contributing Writer

UK’s Social Workers in Action group is holding a
communitywide “Winter Fund Drive" to assist Lex-
ington’s needy.

“We will be collecting various winter items, such
as blankets, coats, gloves, scarves, hats, slippers,
sweaters, and umbrellas,” said Michel Coconis, an
assistant professor of social work. “We need items
for all ages and both genders.” ‘

Student volunteers are scheduled to collect items
Nov. 12 and 19. Ifyou have items to donate, you can
phone 266—3253 and leave a message about where
the items can be icked up.

Students, facul)

at 620 Patterson Office Tower through early
December, Coconis said.

The donated items will be cleaned by area busi-
ness and then distributed to The Salvation Army and
Manchester Community Center. Blankets also will
be sent to the Hope Center.

“The clothes we receive from the drive will be
added to our clothes bank and distributed to those
who come to us in need,” said Tom Johnson, an
administrator of Humane Services for The Salvation
Army. “The most important type of clothes we need
are children’s and unusual sizes” like tall and double
extra large.

Coconis said the drive will benefit many of Lex-
ington’s homeless, including those who walked the

ty and staff also may drop off items streets near North Campus every day.

.-__~--..~.-n~.ammogoo—w

“We know there are homeless people around
campus, and ifthere is any way to get them clothes,
we will get them clothes,” she said.

Matt Marriott, an anthropology sophomore,
encouraged students to give what they can.

“All you have to do is walk around North Campus
and on see how big of a homeless problem Lexing—
ton lias," Marriott said. “Everyone has something
they don’t need that could help out.”

Social Workers in Action also has an ongoing
food drive to help God’s Pantry. Other projects are
in the works.

“My goal is to help the students make this a part
of their work as much as they can,” Coconis said.
“People can do a lot of good through this type of

work.”

clinton on stump
lor linal campaign push

WASHINGTON — With control of Con ess
and key statehouses in the balance, President lin-
ton hunted West Coast votes for Democrats ester-
day in a final, uphill campaign push. Repu licans
expressed confidence they would capture control of
the Senate, and perhaps the House, as well.

“I’ll be happy with a one—vote victory,” said Texas
GOP gubernatorial challenger Geor e \V. Bush,
speaking for nervous candidates everyw ere.

With voters expressin widespread anger and dis-
illusionment, the polls alF pointed to major, midterm
Republican congressional gains.

“Obviously, we’re going to lose some seats in the
House and in the Senate,” conceded White House
Chief of Staff Leon Panetta. Even so, he said on
CBS’ Sunday Morning, “we have a very good
chance” of holding both houses for the final two
years of Clinton’s turn.

In the House, where Democrats have held a
majority for 40 years, GOP Whip Newt Gingrich
predicted Republican gains of 35 to 60 seats. A
switch of 40 would make him speaker, the first
Republican to wield the gavel since Dwight Eisen—
hower was president.

Hundreds mourn ‘caI-jacltell' toddlers

UNION, S.C. — A single white coffin stacked
with yellow roses enclosed the bodies of two young
brothers, “precious jewels” whose drowning was
mourned by hundreds who crowded into a small
country church yesterday.

David Smith, with bowed shoulders and a hand—
kerchief stifling his sobs, followed as the casket hold-
ing his sons, 3-year-old Michael and 14-month—old
Alex, was wheeled from the church.

The boys’ mother, Susan Smith, was absent —
behind bars and charged with murder by strapping
them into their carseats and sending her Mazda
rolling into a lake.

About 300 people crowded into the Buffalo Unit—
ed Methodist Church for the 45-minute service,
where ministers assured mourners that the children
were in better hands.

m lllAIll warplanes huzz Sarajevo

SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina -— NATO
warplanes buzzed Sarajevo yesterday in a show of
force to halt escalating fighting that threatened to
plunge Bosnia’s capital back into warfare.

Lt. Gen. Sir Michael Rose, U.N. commander in
Bosnia, met Bosnian Vice President Ejup Ganic to
protest the fi hting. Another U.N. official spoke by
phone with tfie Bosnian Serbs at their headquarters
in Pale, east of Sarajevo.

Both sides were given “the same kind of warning”
about the deteriorating situation, said Rose's
spokesman, Lt. Col. Tim Spicer. He did not elabo-
rate.

Coming up Short

Soccer team ends season 9-9-2

By Jason Dattllo
Assistant Sports Editor

Vanderbilt’s football team wasn’t
the only group of Commodores beat-
ing up on UK over the weekend.

The UK men’s soccer team fell
short yesterday in its quest for a win-
ning season, as the Commodores
upended the Cats 3—0 at Cage Field.

The Wildcats ended the season at
9-9—2 overall after failing to capitalize
on any of their 10 shots on goal. Van-
derbilt closed out its season by raising
its record to ll«6-1.

UK actually outshot Vandy for the
game, which was played almost entire-
y in the midfield with neither team
giving much ground. The Corn—
modores had only eight shots for the
entire game.

“It was a very strange game,” UK
head coach Ian Collins said. “()ffen‘

sively, we just couldn’t get anything
goin .

“ ut (Vandy) really didn’t dominate
us. It was one of those games when you
look up and suddenly
its 3—0.”

Vanderbilt oal-
keeper Ryan (.‘artfand,
who was making his
first start ofthe season,
recorded the shutout
while saving seven
Wildcat shots.

Garland was replac—
ing Pat Broome, who
started all of Vandy’s previous games
durin the ")4 campaign.

“T e defense really played well, but
UK could have finished a few more of
their chances out in front of the goal,”
Garland said. “A lot of their shots just
came right at me, and most of their
crosses were to close to the net.”

The Commodores have five players

 

 

 

 

 

Colflns

who have scored five or more goals on
the season, and in yesterda ’5 match
Vandy continued its balance! attack.

Forward Jay Radtke accounted for
the only goal in the match’s first stanza
as he knocked a shot past UK goalie
Chris West at the 23:25 mark.

The Wildcat defense actually held
Vandy’s leading scorer, Tony Kuhn, in
check until the 72:12 mark when the
freshman leapt into the air and snuck a
shot just inside the right post using a
spectacular bicycle kick.

“He’s a player that can make those
kind of shots,” Vandy head coach
Randy Johnson said.

Defender Michael Dewers also
added a goal at the 58:43 mark for the
Commodores.

The goal moved him into a second
place tie with forward Michael Pao for
team scorin honors.

“I felt Hie we controlled the ball
today,” Johnson said. “But that’s our

game.

"We just like to play a good techni—
cal me and hope some shots fall.”

The Wildcat’s old nemesis, not
being able to finish opportunities,
came back to haunt the team in its final
outing.

Actually, both teams missed some
chances in the match, which lacked
intensity, Collins said.

“It seemed like both teams were
were lost out there,” he said. “It was a
game that was there for the taking, and
(V andy) seized the opportunity and we
didn’t.”

Note:

VStriker Toby McComas finished
the season as the the Wildcats’ most
potent offensive weapon.

The sophomore recorded 21 offen-
sive points on the year by scoring a
team-leading 10 goals to go along with
one aSSlSt.

Ex- UK stars

am to wins

Staflwire report

Two nights, two big performances.
Rex Chapman is becoming Mr. Clutch
for the \Vashington Bullets.

“I hope that these last—second shots
are not going to become a habit.” said
Chapman, whose overtime heroics
gave the Washington Bullets a 100—99
victory over the Chicago Bulls on Sat-
urday.

That came one night after his 20—
footer with less than a second left beat
the Orlando Magic in the season
opener.

Chapman scored seven of his 26
points in OT as the Bullets, off to their

first 2-0 start in nine years, snapped a
15- ame losing streak to Chicago dat-
ingiack to 1990.

“This is a great feeling for me,” said
Chapman, the former \Vildcat star
who came to the Bullets in a 1992
trade with Charlotte.

“I told the guys that this is the first
time that I’ve come
here and won."

Chapman soared
over Toni Kukoc for a
layup that gave Wash-
, ington the lead for
good, 97-95, with 2:40
to play.

After Kukoc made
one of two free throws,
Chapman pulled up
from 25 feet and hit a 3-pointer for a
100-96 lead.

“They should give him five points
for that one," first-year Bullets coach
Jim Lyman said.

“He’ll take the biggest shots of the
game and look forward to it with a lot

    

Chapman

of confidence.”

“Never a shot he didn’t like,”
Lyman quipped.

The Bu ls’ JoJo English converted
a three—point play with 1:09 left in
overtime.

But Scottie Pippen missed the
Bulls’ final two shots - a 15—footer with
about 30 seconds left
and a driving layup in
the final seconds.
After the latter, he
argued that he had

Former UK All-American Jamal
Mashburn scored 30 points, including
19 in the first tuarter, as the Dallas
Mavericks won t eir season-opener on
Saturday night, 112-103 over the New
Jersey Nets.

Mashbum, who shot just 40.6 per-
cent from the floor a year ago as a
rookie, made 12 of his 24 field goal
attempts on Saturday, including one of
two three—point shots. He also hit five
of nine three-point attempts.

The Mavs featured a balanced
attack in their win over the Nets.

Jason Kidd was all that Dallas
expected and more in his NBA debut.
Kidd, a rookie from California Uni-
versity, was one rebound shy of a triple
double, collecting 10 points, 11 assists
and 9 boards in the game.

Kidd was 3-of-10 from the floor,
but he had three steals and only three
turnovers as the Mavericks over-
whelmed the Nets.

Jackson took over with in the third
period, when JimmyJackson scored 1 1
ofhis career—high 37 points.

“It was a reat game for me, Jason,
and all the Fans," Dallas Coach Dick
Motta said. “I hope we gave them
something that makes them want to
come back.”
