Some gusts of wind around P.O.T. seem strong enough to be A Light Tornado Where was freeze-dried coffee invented? Where is death row for even the strongest umbrella? Where can everyone read the label on your panty hose as you walk by? At the Patterson Office Tower wind tunnel,” of course. Even your hair spray won't hold in front of P.O.T. Peter Wilcox, architecture professor, said wind hits the building and turns down, making the building itself the cause of those cold gales. The December 1980 edition of Progressive Architect was totally devoted to tall buildings. The magazine said, A building significantly taller than its surroundings can ex- perience high wind loads and concentrates pedestrian level winds. Wind is, unfortunately, too far down the list of priorities to make structural alterations. What is the solution to Patterson Northerlies,” as business administration senior Mike Query labels the area? Dynamite,” said Jerry Rozenberg, head of the college of architecture. Rozenberg said the building was ill conceived to start with.” He added that people have tried to find ways to alleviate the problem, but no one has come up with an answer. Most students are aware of the problem, and have devised their own ways to get around the freezing w'ind. Undecided sophomore Vivian Collins said she goes through the side doors of P.O.T. to get to White Hall Classroom Building. But the doors are so heavy, she said. Belinda Ray, a junior from Meade County, said that walk- ing in front of P.O.T. feels like ice hitting you in the face, especially when it's raining. Face it. The wind tunnel is there to stay. Unless, of course, the winds huff and puff and blow P.O.T. down. No one at UK can honestly say they cannot achieve that wind-blown look. Don't complain, though. James Kennedy Patterson is so cold he's green. —LEIGH ANNE STEPHENS

For Lexington merchants, that’s A $28 Million Question Students, you are loved. Even though you may doubt it sometimes, especially when you turn in assignments late or overdraw your parents' bank accounts, there is a large faction of the population of Lex- ington that still thinks you're tops—the merchants. Why do the merchants love UK students so much7 Because you've got lots of money to spend and you spend it in their business places. According to a study conducted by Belden Research Associates, the student market spends $28 million each year in Fayette County over and above room and board expenses. This is roughly 12 perecnt of all retail sales in the county. Expenditures by students amount to $11.5 million in grocery sales and $5 million in gasoline sales every year. But the students aren't spending all their bucks on food and fuel. The study shows that students are to thank for $3.3 million spent yearly on liquor. Business people in Lexington obviously have a vested in- terest in reaching this market. Only 30 percent of all UK students live in University hous- ing, leaving a whopping 70 percent to seek living space elsewhere in Lexington. According to rental agent and UK student Susan Sims of Apple Creek Apartments on Todds Road, students are good business. Sims said students seem to enjoy the atmosphere of living in an apartment complex with other students. Apple Creek, therefore, rents 25-30% of its 468 units to UK students. Students also seem to be spending their money in Lex- ington's shopping malls, the study showed. According to the survey, most students (85%) said they frequent Fayette Mall on Nicholasville Road, while 55% said they also visit Lex- ington Mall often. Only 30% said they visit the exclusive downtown mall at Lexington Center. —LISA WALLACE 24 FEATURE Economy
