for comment.
Assistant Vice President for Student
Life, Bridgette Pregliasco has said that
if the alcohol policy comes up. for re­vision,
a committee will be formed and
will accept input from various organi­zations
on campus.
DPS does not make policy and will
comply with whatever stance the Uni­versity
takes, Hall said.
"We don't set the policy, we just give
them statistics," Hall said. He said the
department's part in the procedure is
to supply information to the potential
revision committee and nothing more.

Wayne Hall said Department of
Public Safety Lt. Tom Fitzgerald was
incorrect when Fitzgerald said in an
Oct. 30 interview that DPS would sup­port
a dry campus. Hall said there is
no pressing need to abolish alcohol, .
and that the possibility of a dry cam­pus
could create problems instead of
solutions.
"I wouldn't say we have to go dry
as much as (we need to) enforce
present laws," he said.

He said that currently details
about the propos~d concert are
vague since the bid was submit­ted

Government gets an accep­tance,
advertising will start and
more information will become
available.
Because the event is planned
by the Student Government As­sociation,
it only expects to

Beautification of
campus continues

Derek Cowherd, Student
Government Association's Vice
President of Service, led the
Golden Key Honor Society in a
beautification of the Humani­ties
Quadrangle.
From ,1 p.m. to 3 p.m. on Fri­day,
Nov. 6, members of the
Golden Key Honor Society,
Derek Cowherd, and a few
other students planted tulips
and shrubbery that is due to
bloom in the spring.
The SGA supplied the plants
and shrubs used in the project.
H & S Hardware, located on
Bardstown Road, showed their
community support for the
event by giving a half price dis­count
to SG A's purchase of sup­plies.
·
Due to the tremendous finan­cial
support by H & S Hardware
and the manpower provided by
SGA, the beautifying of the Hu­manities
Quad was an economi­cal
success.
Not only was the Humanities
Quad aided by this event, Cow­herd
said, but also student par­ticipants
had a great time doing
it.
Cowherd instructed volun­teers,
through what he called
"an enjoyable atmosphere,"
how and where to plant the
landscaping.
"This was done, number one,
to beautify the campus," Cow­herd
said. "And, number two,
to expose students to things
they might not otherwise be ex­posed
to, like getting their
hands dirty."
lhere are plans for another,
similar outing in the future.
SGA is working with the Resi­dent
Student Association to orga­nize
future beautification projects
on campus, to take place before
final exams.
Cowherd said he encourages
all students to help.
"We all had a really good
time," Cowherd said. •
"I really appreciated the help
from SGA and the Golden Key
Honor Society," he said.
Director of Academic Ser­vices

helped with project, said the
group is open to doing just

aesthetics.
"We're open to doing any­thing
else we can to make the
campus even a more beautiful
place," Rhodes said.
"We would love to help SGA
more in the future, but nothing
is planned right now," she said.
Cowherd said it was an ex­cellent
opportunity for students
to both, have fun and benefit
the community.
Cardinal Park's acquisition of parking spaces under fire from students
Amy Grimes
Assistant News Editor
Students at the University of Louis­ville
were recently enlightened on the
future of the parking spaces located
across from the Student Activities Cen­ter.
In December, ground will be broken
on Cardinal Park, a $45 million dollar
sports complex, and more than 2,000
"green" parking spaces will be lost.
Cardinal Park will be located east of
the Student Activities Center adjacent to
Floyd Street. It will feature a· softball,
soccer and intramural field, a track, bas­ketball
and sand volleyball courts, a
playground, a CardioWalk and a nata­torium.
The natatorium will be built
across from McDonald's on the corner
of Floyd and Warnock streets, eliminat­ing
some "blue" spaces, and the
McDonald's will be relocated.
Administrators, as well as many stu-dents,
tout the park as a welcome addi­tion
to U of L's urban Belknap campus.
But many students are dissatisfied with
the park's construc-same

tion becaQse it will
reduce parking at the
University, which
some already say is a
struggle, and foresee
even worse problems
for the future. There
are approximately
5,100 green parking
spaces on campus,
and about 10,800
parking passes are
sold.

-Ryan Angelet,
sophomore, CIS major
Larry Owsley, U of
I.: s vice president for
finance and administra­tion,
has said that the
r1<!ason more passes are
sold than there are
spaces is because the
10,800 students who are
sold green parking
passes aren't necessar­ily
all on campus at the
same time.
"At peak parking

systems major. "If they sold the
same number of parking passes as the
Belknap campus," Owsley said.
Still, students say there are problems.

Even at night, parking is full on some parts of campus, especially in the
Floyd Street lots (above). This concerns some students who fear a parking '
problem once construction begins on Cardinal Park in February.
