Kathy Woodtiian. public informa-

 

tion officer for the Key West Po-
lice Department. Hambrick sus-
tained only minor injuries, Wood-
man said.

Police suspect the accident was
alcohol-rclated, although the re-
sults of both students‘ blood alco-
hol content won’t be known for
four to six weeks, Woodman said.

“We are going on the assump-
tion that this was an alcohol—
related death,” Woodman said.
“It's an assumption, not a fact.”

Woodman said Harnbrick could
be charged with driving-under-
the-influence manslaughter if she
tests above a .10 percent blood al-
cohol level.

“If Mary Beth had been drink-
ing and had met criteria for what
is legally drunk, she will be
charged before a grand jury."

"Room 230 is the only meeting

apart at night. No one else can use
it during that time,“ said Lisa (.‘ol-

Unions may not help college workers

Associated Press

Employees at Kentucky's public
universities interested in union rep-
resentation may hurt that a success-
ful organi/ing tlfl\ e won‘t do them
any good.

The catch is that state law says
university regents or trustees aren‘t
required to rccogni/e oi bargain
with eniphwcc unions.

The issUt gained .tticntion last
week because the lac ulty Senate at
Western Kentucky t'niversity
brought 111 t nited Auto Workers
union representatives to provide in-
formation about collccnvc bargain-
trig.

“l think the irnstrauon level of
faculty is understandable, but I
don't see a move among regents to
embrace COllL‘L'lHt‘ bargaining,"
said Gary Cox. \‘Xt‘t‘lllln‘ director

ot the state Count 11 on Higher l xlll'
cation.
