Lack of accessibility Without new facilities, some with disabilities unable to reach all of campus

By Rachel Aretakis raretakis@kykernel.com

For some students with physical disabilities, more time is required to plan routes to class and ways to get into buildings.

“I purposefully go to the same buildings over and over again to make sure they are accessible,” said Nicole Hobbs, an English senior who has cerebral palsy.

Hobbs said she hates asking a random stranger to hold her crutches while she walks up the steps.

“I don’t want to ask them for help,” Hobbs said. “I don’t want to feel like a burden to them.”

She uses crutches to maneuver around campus and is independent, but sometimes when the elevators are down, she has to ask for help.

“If I can avoid asking people, like if I really don’t need to get to class immediately, I will wait for somebody from the disability office.”

With roughly 28,000 students at UK, in fall 2010 there were 1,200 registered disabled students, said Jake Karnes, director of the Disability Resource Center.

The center’s goal is to provide equal access to eligible students so that everyone has an equal opportunity to participate in what the university offers.

“Our office is actively looking at what needs to be done,” he said.

Hobbs has only had classes in two buildings: White Hall Classroom Building and Kastle Hall. She said she schedules her

classes there because she knows for sure that they are accessible.

“I have to be conscious about location, too,” Hobbs said. “I can’t walk long distances.”

Even if the building is accessible, she has to keep an eye on how far she has to walk to get there.

Getting around on campus can be difficult, but she thinks the disability center does the best it can.

“I really think they care,” she said. But it can be frustrating when elevators aren’t working or certain doors are heavy, she said. *** Money is always an issue, and addressing accessibility for physically disabled people in the UK community is no exception.

“We have more projects than we have funding,” said Bob Wiseman, the vice president of facilities. “Considerably more projects.”

During President Eli Capilouto’s investiture speech in October, he pledged to improve campus accessibility.

“The vast majority of our space is not accessible to people with disabilities — more so than any university in this state,” he said in his speech.

Disabilities range from physical to mental, and the Disability Resource Center advocates for accommodations and acceptance.

“We are a resource for them,” Karnes said. “We can help.”

Patty Bender, the assistant vice president for institutional equity and equal opportunity, said the office makes individual accommodations for employees.

Dead week is upon students, and that means cramming for finals, finishing up term papers and turning in last minute assignments.

However, the UK community will have a chance to unwind at Cram Jam Thursday night at Memorial Coliseum.

Student Government officials want to give students a chance to relax, kick their feet up and temporarily take their minds off of school work with the second Cram Jam. The goal of Cram Jam is to accomplish what the Student Activities Board’s Crunch Brunch does every fall. Although in its second year, SG hopes Cram Jam can become a dead week staple, making students’ lives a little easier.

“Students should go to Cram Jam because it’s the perfect opportunity to take their minds off tests, papers and projects and have fun,” said Kyle Snapp, the SG deputy chief of communications. “They will be able to spend time with a diverse array of students who are all there to get away from the stresses of the classroom.”

This year will feature a “carnival” theme, with snacks such as corn dogs, nachos and cotton candy. Other What: Cram Jam events will When: Thursday at 6 p.m. include Where: Memorial Coliseum cornhole, Admission: Free pickup basketball games, a massage table, music and tours of the Joe Craft Center.

Free food and drinks will be offered, and the first 1,500 students will get a free T-shirt.

“I love the diverse population of UK students that come out to Cram Jam,” said Stephen Bilas, SG president-elect and current chief of staff.

Bilas said the event is good to relax and take a break from studying.

“Our goal is to provide a relaxing event during a traditionally stressful time for students,” he said.

In addition to events, there will also be several new additions for this year incorporating the theme, including carnival games, the snack shack and a safety-dog petting station.

UK Athletics will also provide a 64-foot inflatable obstacle course.

“Cram Jam is special because it’s a time for students to hang out with friends they haven’t seen for a while,” said Tamika Tompoulidis, director of student organizations for Student Government. “During the craziness of finals week, we often forget to say goodbye to all our friends and Cram Jam is a great opportunity for this.”

“It’s going to be a smörgåsbord of fun and relaxation,” said Clay Lampl, Student Government’s deputy chief of staff for campus issues.

Top: Barker Hall does not have an elevator, making it inaccessible to some students.

Bottom: This ramp outside Lafferty Hall was recently redone. Although Lafferty Hall does not have an elevator, basement access is available through a side door.

“We have faculty that we rearrange their class schedule or rearrange what time of days they teach or where they teach,” she said. “It’s very individualized.”

From July 2010 to now, there have been 42 accommodation requests, she said. Last year there were 28.

“When we get requests, overall I think we do a pretty good job (of addressing them),” Bender said. She said she does get frustrated, though, when each year the budget is cut.

“How can we best use the money we get?” she asked. *** Bruce Burris is the co-owner of Latitude Artist Community, a Lexington organization that provides an inclusive community, “with an emphasis on those thought by some to have a disability,” according to its website. The organization allows participating artists to contribute to the community.

“I think it’s outrageous that a university campus can still be as inaccessible as UK,” Burris said.

He used to lead a walking tour of downtown Lexington, where he would point out places a person in a wheelchair couldn’t access or

that would be dangerous.

“I do think things are changing,” he said. “It’s still disappointing to know that after 30 years of looking at this problem, it is still as significant as it is.” *** UK is one of the oldest campuses in the state.

“Being the oldest, we have buildings that have more challenges than most campuses,” Wiseman said.

He thinks the university has done a good job of making campus as accessible as possible, and he has made it a priority to keep campus repaired and increase the budgets for those elements.

However, Wiseman is working with limited funds, and renovating old buildings is expensive.

“I think the first principle … is that we need to make programs and classes as accessible as possible. That doesn’t necessarily mean the building,” he said.

Karnes said changes to campus infrastructure are gradual.

The most dramatic change was in 1977 when Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 was implemented. This gave federal money to the university to make See ACCESSIBILITY on page 6

New North residence hall Graduating senior embarks on bike tour named for President Roselle Philip Leachman, with father and brother, will raise money for Ronald McDonald House

By Rachel Sarnovsky news@kykernel.com

While many students are winding down at the end of the semester, Philip Leachman is getting ready to take on an adventure of a lifetime.

Leachman, a graduating senior in mechanical engineering, will be cycling across the nation this summer to raise money and awareness for the Ronald McDonald House Charities.

“I am doing this tour as something to cap off and celebrate my graduation from college,” Leachman said. “I also

thought it would be a great way to raise money for a charity because of the sheer number of people we are bound to meet and encounter.”

The tour will begin May 7 in San Diego and end in New Jersey. Leachman is making the tour with his brother and father. His father is also a UK graduate.

“My inspiration for this came out of a love for weeklong bicycle tours that I would do with my dad and brother,” Leachman said.

He said while attending UK, he has See TOUR on page 2

In a ceremony on Tuesday, New North residence hall was officially named the David P. Roselle Hall after the former UK president.

Roselle was president from 1987-89, and left to become president at the University of Delaware. He retired in 2007.

Current President Eli Capilouto paid tribute to Roselle’s contributions and advancements on UK’s campus during the event.

“I am therefore quite confident that the Board of Trustees’ decision last October to name a building after David is very popular on our campus,” he said.

Roselle Hall houses 144 students and opened in fall of 2005. It is also home of the fine arts living learning community.

‘Total Blackout’ is out of sight REASON TO WATCH: It’s “Fear Factor” in a power failure!

WHAT IT’S ABOUT: Four contestants — or (in Wednesday night’s second episode) four couples — must rely on their other four senses when the lights go out. Awaiting them in various tanks in a pitch-black studio are all kinds of weird stuff: animal, vegetable and mineral.

We meet the players, cocky and boasting beforehand; watch them squirm and squeal (in blackout-lensed blue-and-white), making wrongheaded guesses as to the objects’ identities while the disembodied voice of host Jaleel White coaches and quips; then afterward hear their reactions. The sorta-kicker is, the least accurate guesser gets dropped down a trapdoor “black hole,” while the others continue on to rounds 2 (another trapdoor) and 3 (two finalists).

Their imaginations get the best of most contestants, so we get to see girls swear up a (bleeped) storm, tough guys whimper and gay guys act, well, cliche gay. But what would you

Horoscope To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.

Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is an 8 — Slow down. Don't take on a new responsibility before considering what you want. Listen to someone who's been there. Get the facts. How will it impact home and family?

Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 7 — Distractions abound this morning. More practice leads to greater skill and increased power. So keep it up! Let a partner, coach or trusted adviser support you.

Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is an 8 — Go by the rules you set to gain respect and wealth. A careful work investment may be necessary, like a power suit or some polish for the presentation. It pays off.

Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 7 — Don't be too hasty this morning. Keep it simple, and

do, blind and sticking your hand into a tank of roaches or eels? Or forced in the dark to locate and eat blue cheese off a hairy human belly?

Would you recognize the scent of smelly armpit?

MY SAY: I’m no smarter than the contestants.

Thought I was going to hate “Total Blackout.”

Then couldn’t help laughing out loud when one Fearless Dude smelling the blue cheese promptly wrinkled his nose and spat, “Poop?”

The couples are cool, too, in coaching each other through the fright and identifications. And to its credit, “Total Blackout” makes one of TV’s most diverse casting efforts, bringing in all races, origins and sexual orientations (but did the gays have to be sooo gay?). Even the youthful demographic gets a shake-up when one guy pairs with his 60ish French mom.

So — yes, I’m ashamed of myself. But a girl’s gotta slum sometime. Better ogling the oddities of this behavior than “Maury.”

BOTTOM LINE: Irresistible.

stick to core commitments. Rely on a loved one and your own common sense. Reaffirm your bonds.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is an 8 — Things may seem illogical or confusing. Rely on old standards for solid quality. Do more planning and research. Friends chime in. Think it over more, and the situation resolves itself.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 9 — Think through the consequences of your actions before committing. Rely on experienced friends, if you get stuck or confused. They've been there before.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Today is an 8 — Orders are coming in.

The breakfast rush could leave you all aflutter; chaos could distract you from your purpose if you let it. Concentrate on providing good service.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is an 8 — Bring your balanced view into the project. Make a choice, despite your fears. Have faith in your own solid skills.

Your transformation continues as you keep up practice.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 9 — Flexibility and a sense of humor keep you dancing gracefully today. Don't worry about the money. When all it's done, receive an acknowledgment with a bow.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 9 — Running around with your head cut off doesn't help.

Breathe deep. Find a goal to focus on, and then take one step at a time. An older person offers partnership.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is an 8 — Immerse yourself in writing or another artistic endeavor while your creative juices are flowing. Reinterpret a negative as a positive. Choose love.

Howl at the moon.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 7 — Try to stay grounded and close to home. Don't rush your decision. Don't lose your sense of direction, either. It will all get easier soon. Lie low for a while.

Tim Tracy Obama talks named student loans interim provost College of Pharmacy Dean Tim Tracy will serve as UK’s interim provost, President Eli Capilouto announced Tuesday in a campus-wide email.

Tracy has served as dean of the college since August 2010. He will begin duties as provost May 7.

Dr. Patrick McNamara will be acting dean of the College of Pharmacy at that time.

Capilouto said a national search will be conducted for a permanent provost, and he aims to have the position filled by the start of the spring 2013 semester.

The email listed specific responsibilities Tracy will have as interim provost, including overseeing the next year’s budget reductions and a continued focus on undergraduate education.

President Barack Obama participated in a conference call Tuesday with college reporters to discuss the possibility of interests rates doubling for student loans.

Obama said that 7.4 million could be affected by the interest rate increase as of July 1.

“I’ve always believed that we should be doing everything we can to help put higher education within reach for every single American student — because the unemployment rate for Americans with at least a college degree is about half the national average,” he said. “And it’s never been more important. Unfortunately, it’s also never been more expensive.”

He spoke of personal debt experiences for both himself and first lady Michelle Obama during their college and law school days.

He stressed the importance of higher education.

“It’s an economic imperative that every family has got to be able to afford,” he said.

Three million more Pell grants were added, and middle-class families will benefit from a $10,000 tax credit. Also, the age limit for young adults to be on their parents’ health insurance is now 26.

Obama encourages students to speak out against rising interest rates. He referred to Twitter, and suggested that people tweet using #dontdoublemyrate.

“We need to reward hard work and responsibility,” he said. “And part of that is keeping interest rates on student loans low so more Americans get a fair shot at an affordable college education, the skills they need to find a good job, a clear path to the middle class that’s not blocked by a mountain of debt.

“And the time to act is right now, and I’m going to need your help getting that message out.”

Baseball falls to Louisville for second time this season After 10-2 loss, No. 1-ranked Cats hope for success against Vanderbilt The re-established No. 1ranked UK baseball team failed to live up to its billing, losing to Louisville 10-2 on Tuesday.

Combined with the Cardinals’ 12-0 win over UK in Lexington two weeks ago, it’s the first time in 42 years that Louisville has swept the season series with its in-state rival.

The No. 23 Cardinals scored two quick runs in the first, aided by an error and walk that kept the inning alive.

The Cats (35-7, 13-5 SEC) manufactured a run of their own in the third, as senior Michael Williams walked and scored on a groundout to narrow the deficit to 2-1.

A sacrifice bunt and sacrifice fly brought that runner home and made the game 21 headed to the bottom of the sixth.

In the bottom of the sixth, sophomore Emily Jolly crushed a solo homerun over the left-field wall to give the Cats the lead for good. Riley then struck out two in the seventh to give UK its 24th victory of the year.

“We survived,” Lawson said. “We fought hard and with Rachel’s help we pulled out a win.”

The Cats next travel to Gainesville, Fla., to face off with the SEC-leading Gators in their last SEC road trip of the year.

In a game like this where both teams bring their A-game, you have to have a player to keep everyone calm.”

Only twice since conference play started has a UK starter got the win in a midweek game, one of those being Mahar’s effort last week.

The Cats were only able to muster up a sacrifice fly the rest of the way, as the Cardinals beat the topranked Cats 10-2.

UK will try to continue its more successful SEC play when it travels to Nashville, Tenn., to play Vanderbilt.

First pitch on Friday is 7:30 p.m.

Chillax aims to relieve stress Massages, yoga, food and prizes offered before finals week begins

By George Harkness features@kykernel.com

Students are urged to Chillax this year before finals.

This stress-relieving event, called Chillax, will be at the W.T. Young Library gallery and Keeneland Room by the University Drive entrance.

“A great deal of students don’t know how to manage stress, so this event provides them the opportunity to Chillax, eat some healthy food and learn more about how to rid themselves or manage stress,” said Rachel Carnahan, assistant director of the Office of Substance Education and Responsibility in the Dean of Students office.

eCampus store adding study spot Students will be able to read rented texts in store’s renovated upstairs

By Kristen Sekinger features@kykernel.com

The eCampus.com bookstore is planning to renovate the upstairs of its store and adding a place for students to study and hang out with friends.

The space will also include a game area and a place to study, along with a few snack foods.

The planning has already started and the renovation should be finished sometime next school year.

Manager Chad Saunders said he is building this new

study spot to attract students to the store and give them a “chill and relaxing place” to study or just hang out.

But one of the main reasons behind building this spot is for students to read and study the books they rent out in the store with its new book renting program.

The program allows students to rent books for either 30 minutes, an hour, eight hours, overnight or one week and get 20 to 40 percent off, depending on rental length.

Students must read the books in the store if they are

renting for 30 minutes or an hour.

“I always try to find the cheapest way to buy books, and I usually find them online, but don’t use them as much as I thought,” Natalie Laycock, a finance sophomore, said.

This new renting program lets students rent books when they need them.

“Students can bring their schedules in next semester and we will figure out general pricing for books for next year and compare them to other local book stores,” Saunders said.

Students can also save 10 percent after their first time renting books through eCampus.com.

“I think it’ll be beneficial because it saves students 10 percent the next year,” Lena Husayni, a nursing sophomore, said.

Husayni said she usually rents all of her books and the discount would save her money.

“I heard about that from someone in my major. I think it is a great way to help students save money and attract students to the store,” Laycock said.

UK needs to address accessibility issues The issue of accessibility on campus for physically disabled students is one that many of us have never had to consider — but it is one we all should.

Disabled students currently do not have access to five campus UK buildings, but even getting onto campus and finding ramps into accommodating buildings can be a challenge.

As students, it is important we recognize the struggles our peers face. We need

to offer our support and encourage the administration to improve campus accessibility.

The high costs of campus renovations and elevator installations limit any progress the administration can make.

Yet, as UK moves forward with renovations and construction in the future, the issue of accessibility must be at the forefront.

When renovating UK’s campus, the university

needs to not only consider the mandates of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act, but it needs to consider the students on this campus whose education and lives are affected every day.

UK must not accept the bare minimum for improvements and must move away from the problems of the past as it considers how overall better facilities can be built on campus.

ACCESSIBILITY Continued from page 1 programs accessible.

As the university builds new facilities, officials make sure they are compliant with the law, Karnes said.

The Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 state that students with disabilities are “entitled to benefit from all the services of those institutions and to use campus facilities,� according to the ADA website.

Every building doesn’t have to be accessible; as long as programs can be moved, UK is in compliance with the law, Karnes said.

Karnes works with students with disabilities to accommodate their needs. He can help move classes if students can’t access them.

The building that makes up Barker Hall and Buell Armory, for example, does not have an elevator. If a student can’t access a class there, Karnes said the class will be moved to a different building.

A complaint has to be issued before the class can be relocated.

Five buildings on campus are in no way accessible to everyone, Wiseman said. They are the Mathews Building, Barker Hall and Buell Armory, and three of the Quad buildings: Bradley, Breckinridge and Bowman halls. “Bradley is the concern because it houses the ombud’s office and international affairs,�

Karnes said. The building is an old residence hall, and Karnes said the cost to install an elevator would be astronomical.

Last summer, a bid to renovate and install an elevator in Bradley was estimated at close to half a million dollars, Wiseman said. “That’s a major commitment of funds to an old facility,� he said.

As for most aging buildings on campus, Wiseman said it is important to look into the cost-benefit to each facility. “The cost of the improvements outweighs the overall values of the buildings,� he said.

He compared aging buildings to a 1954 pickup truck.

When the engine blows, he asked if installing a new engine is really smart. “You may need

a new pickup,� he said. *** Though there are roughly 230 elevators on campus, not every building has an elevator. “That everything didn’t have an elevator was a sur-

5 campus buildings are not accessible to some with disabilities: • Mathews Building • Barker Hall and Buell Armory • Bradley, Breckinridge and Bowman halls prise,� said Dallas Willoughby, a secondary education freshman who travels campus in a power chair.

And in the buildings that do have elevators, it isn’t uncommon for one to be broken down. In White Hall, Hobbs said generally one of the two elevators isn’t working at a given time. “Even if the elevators are there, it doesn’t mean they work, or work all the time,�

Hobbs said. “Or are easy to get to.�

Of White Hall’s two elevators, one was recently renovated and the other is currently being repaired.

Bill Collins of the physical plant said renovating an elevator can cost up to $100,000 depending on the number of floors and the complexity. “It’s not just a question of where to find new elevators,�

Wiseman said. “The bulk of our efforts is finding where they need to be replaced.�

When an elevator is down,

students call Karnes, who will call the physical plant. He then will pull up the student’s schedule to make accommodations, such as class excuses. When he finds out that elevators are down, he will inform students, he said.

Hobbs said when she contacts the disability center, “they get somebody on it immediately.�

One of the only times Willoughby has had trouble was when an elevator in White Hall broke down and he was stuck on the third floor. But he said the issue was quickly resolved.

For his first year on campus, Willoughby said it was better than he expected.

Willoughby lives on North Campus and said he doesn’t have too much trouble getting to class. However, he has to take a longer route to get to White Hall. “The pathways are usually pretty solid,� he said. As for lecture halls, he doesn’t get a choice too often of where to sit: in the back or in the front.

Hobbs said she thinks the university does what it can do for accessibility, “but there is only so much they can do without demolishing a whole building.�

With the new dorm construction beginning on campus, Hobbs said she hopes people with disabilities are taken into account when future structures are designed. “This world wasn’t made for us, unfortunately,� she said. “So it’s understandable if something isn’t the way it should be.�
