The plan, which Willihnganz said is still flexible, would mean the end of the current system in which graduate students compose a graduate school separate from the rest of the university. The students, faculty and at least some control of the degree programs will be moved to the individual colleges and schools within the w1iversity once the plan is put into place. "After a year or more of a lot of conversations, my sense is that we cannot get to the kind of strengthening of graduate education we need," WiJlihnganz said. With a centralized graduate unit '' "We have to make sure we do no harm to the graduate council or the graduate school moving forward:' -Dr. Ronald Atlas, Graduate School dean like the one currently in place at U of L, there are "endless border disputes." She explained that either everyone thinks issues are someone else's responsibility or Security surveyed Traditional halls prove more difficult to enter By Ray Dillon The Louisville Cardinal If you live on campus at the University of Louisville, you've probably been piggybacked and didn't even know it. "Piggybacking" is what U of L Director of Housing Shannon Staten called the most successful way a non-resident can gain access to any housing facility on campus. Strangers can simply follow a resident through a door once the resident uses his or her key. After numemus reports of crime in and around campus residence halls and apartments, The Louisville Cardinal tested security at both U ofL residence h<tlls and University of Louisville Properties buildings to see how far a non-resident reporter withour a key could get into certain facilities. Reporters concentrared on two buildings from each group: Kurz and Bettie Johnson halls represented ULP buildings while Stevenson Hall and Unitas Tower represented U of L buildings. Test 1: ULP buildings At Bettie Johnson and Kurz Hall, our non-resident was able to piggyback his way into both buildings and bypass the front desks. In the case of Kurz Hall, the desk attendant was not looking. And Bettie Johnson's front desk staff was busy with several people loitering in the lobby and around the desk. Once inside the ULP facilities, keys were no longer necessary to access stairways or elevators. Our non-resident reported seeing several of the resident doors opened. Without being stopped or questioned, he was also able HOUSING see page A3 SHELBY CAMPUS PHOTOS BY YURlY LOZITSKIY/LOUISVILLE CARDINAL An undercover reporter was able to enter and roam freely around Bettie Johnson Hall, above, without a key. However, at Stevenson Hall, below, there were more locked doors and the reporter could only access the lobby area. Ground broken for new 'biosafety lab By Dennis Q'Neil The Louisville Cardinal The University of Louisville held a ground breaking ceremony' for its new multi-million dollar Center for Predictive Medicine at Shelby Campus on April 9. The $34.6 million facility, which will house one of the 13 level Three biosafety labs in the nation, will be used to research and develop vaccines for infectious diseases such as West Nile, SARS and bird flu. The majority of projecr's costs is covered by a grant from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. "We are hoping that our researchers will be able to determine why certain people fall prey to certain diseases and others don't," said U of L Executive Vice President for Research Manuel Martinez at the ceremony. First year medical student Scott Bickel said, "I think it's good to see U of L's continued commitment to cutting edge medical research. These types of projects are great for elevating U of L as a research university." But prior to construction, some community members living near the site expressed fears that the facility would pose as an environmental hazard in community forums hosted by U ofL. U of L Executive Vice President for Health Affairs Larry Cook said, "We chose to appre- Dr. Shirley Willihnganz University Provost everyone claims them as their own. Under the current system, she said, "the graduate school and the dean are considerably weakened." Graduate students on hand at the meeting had mixed views and a barrage of questions about the changes. Of chief concerns were potential problems with representation among policy-making bodies at the university and worries over funding for graduate student projects. Graduate Student Council President Tim Brauch, who is in the mathematics department, worried that the new graduate school structure will eliminate rwo sources of financial support for graduate students: money al- GRADUATE see page A2 Junior English major Jessica Smith, as Joey Trixxx the Serial Queer, performed in the drag show for the Come Together Kentucky conference at U ofl on April B.
