Topic: Johnson Center- Source identification

            For this blog I decided to do some more research about the Johnson Center.  I found an article on the UK’s campus recreations page under the section titled “memberships”. The URL was http://www.uky.edu/studentaffairs/campusrec/facilities/JohnsonCenter/memberships and it did not have a set author nor the date of when it was published.

Topic: Johnson Center- Word summary

            The Johnson center is not only for UK students. Other people are allowed to work out in there. Of course there are certain rules to who is allowed to go in. In this article they first told us how current University of Kentucky students who are enrolled in regular, on-campus classes, and eligible BCTC students who have paid the recreation fee. I also learned that Current UK and BCTC employees, retirees‚ Donovan Scholars‚ and VA employees are eligible to purchase a Johnson Center membership. Memberships can be purchased in the main office. Membership rates are about 75$ per semester and 20$ for summer membership according to this article. The next thing the article talked about was how a member of the Johnson Center is allowed to buy a one day guest pass for 5$, and their guest must be with them at all times while being in the Johnson Center. The last thing the article talked about and maybe the most important information was that those who purchase Johnson Center memberships must present their UK or BCTC student ID, UK Faculty/Staff ID, or Johnson Center ID to gain admittance. And there is no exception to this rule.

Topic: Johnson Center- Reflections/questions

            This article was helpful because I now have an idea on who is allowed to work out in the Johnson Center. I can use this information in further research if I ever need any type of information about the people who work out there. Some questions that I have are: Do all UK students have to have a membership in their tuition fees? Can random people from Lexington get a membership? How do they know you are with your guest at all times? What happens if you aren’t?
