,ar- ,. . Y'Elifila here were some sad spots throughout the year. UK student Lauren Trocin was struck and killed by a car while crossing the intersection of Woodland and Euclid avenues. A national study showed the crossing to be among the most dangerous in the country due to its poor lighting. These facts led 5th District Councilman and for- mer UK student Gene Tichenor to go before the Urban Count Council to ask for better traffic control in t at area. Recommendations were made to increase the lighting and to establish and fifth lane on Euclid for turning purposes. College football lost one of its greatest when Alabama coach Paul Bear Bryant died. He had retired only weeks before. UK mourned the loss of its former coach; Bryant was the winningest coach in UK football history. On the political front Kentucky's First Lady, Phyllis George Brown, wrote a diet book and lost weight. It was an election year, and, since her husband John Y. Brown, Jr. couldn't succeed himself, the constituents of Kentucky wondered what would become of him. Nationally, there were rumblings of a possible residential bid for the governor in 1984. Back home in the com- monwealth, Kentuckians wondered if there would be a Republican gubernatorial candidate. All major candidates were running on the Demo- cratic ticket. Even the weather had more unpredictability than usual. A mild autumn led into an even milder December when temperatures reached the 8OS-a record high for Kentucky in that month. It all fit in. A year of confusion, but no one screamed. At least not too loudly. A Quiet Confusion 12 Opening
