UK nicotine
study receives

more funding

By Matthew T. Patton
\ew: Editor

A study of the causes of
nicotine addiction that
began two years ago at UK
recentl received an addi-
tional 1.24 million to help
it continue

The grant was given by
the Robert Wood Johnson
Foundation, which
comtnitted $8 mil-

In a 1997 report the
CDC said that researchers
estimate 3.000 young peo-
ple become regular smok-
ers. The report further
states that every year tnore
than 400, 000 people die
from diseases caused by
tobacco use.

King South will house special collections, as well as the music and science libraries.

M.I. King remodeling

schedule still up in air

Old library space to house spe-

cial collections and archives

By Matthew T. Patton

New; l'klitor

All of the books have been
moved to the W.T. Young
Library and most of the sorting
and shelving is finished. but what
may happen to M.I. King
remains to be seen.

The monumental task of
movin hundreds of thousands
of boois is nearing completion
accordin to )udy Brown, head
of circulation, who says the
movers should be finished by
August 8.

“The movers have done a
really. really good job,” Brown
said.

The now barren M.I. King
South will still contain repro-
graphics. the school of library
science, a com uter lab and Cen-
tral Kentucky adio Eye, a read—
ing service {or the blind. Hours
are still limited. Neither of the
two (M.I. King or Will. Young)
are open 24-hours.

Brown said the current
entrance to M.l. King will be
locked and the former loading

dock at the back of the building
will be remodeled into a new
entrance. Until the new entrance
is finished, library patrons must
use the front door.

Some feared that M.I. King
was doomed to fall by the way—
side.

“The building was designed
to be a libra , and it is definitely
not being rhoarded up,” said
library t‘livclopment assistant
Paula Pope in response to
rumors that the libra would be
boarded u until fun 5 could be
allocated or the expensive utili-
ties that keep the building opera—
tional.

Paul Willis, UK director of
libraries, said the special collec-
tions and archives collection will
be housed in the older section of
the library. V.

The I963 King North add;
tion will house the science and
en 'neerin branch libraries,
inc uding c em-ph‘ysics, mathe-
matics. geolo an engineering
and the South ranch will be the
home of the Fine Arts library.

“Although”we have 52.5 mil-

lion for renovations, we still
need more money, so it throws
the timetable u in the air a little
bit," W'illis said?

The Medical Center library
remains open, keeping materials
that are 10 years current and the
former Agriculture Library is
now designated as the Agricul—
tural Information Center, with
200 current journals. Some agri—
cultural joumals will be stored
electronically at W.T. Young.

VVillis says that even thou b
all of the books may not he
shelved, they are all in the build-
ing and even the “messy looking
carts have some sort of organiza-
tion."

“We are anticipating a lot of
people when the fall semester
starts. It’s going to require a lot
of organized, well-committed
Eeople. There are risks of

umps, but that is part of any
new \eroject," Willis added.

“ e’re still putting finishing
touches on the building. There
are little thin . that require some
attention. Tfihse wiggling mats
at the entrances throw people off
balance.” laughed Pope, whose
cheery mood is indicative of the
positive outlook from nearly
everyone involved in this historic
move.

has experienced
accessin books.

“I filed out a retrieval form
for a book listed on the Notis
system. I was supposed to get an
e-mail within two days to pick up
the book. I finally received an e—
mail a week later saying the book
couldn’t be found,”_lohnson said.

Denesh Peiris, an Electrical
Engineering junior, is an
employee at the circulation desk.
Peiris feels many problems arise
since all the books are not
shelved. Peiris admits the
retrieval system often takes more
than 24 hours.

“Most of the books are on the
shelves, some of the patrons take
this well some do not,” he said.

Peiris added that he feels ade-
quately trained to handle the
normal responsibilities of his job
but he has not been trained to
deal with disgruntled patrons.

Locating a book may be time
consuming because most of the
shelves are not marked. Patrons
must search through individual
call numbers on books to find
the one needed book.

Cindy Pennington, a political
science freshman, sees this an
inconvenience, but not a huge
problem.

“Notis is really helpful. it
gives you thousands of choices.
All the books are not on the
shelves, but the staff is really
helpful,” Pennington said.

Willis said all si and directo-
ries (maps of boo locations) will
be in place on shelves and walls by
the beginning of the fall semester.

The main problem students
seem to be havin is working
around the limited ours that the
library is operating under this
summer.

Pennington who works rotat-
ing hours at a local news station
said. “The only roblem l have
right now is the ibrary closes at

 

10."

She said she would be able to
use the library more when it is
open 24 hours.

Bob Combs, a business man—
a ement senior, comes to the
liirary to use the computer lab.
Combs attends class from 8am to
10 am then works from 1 lam to
7pm.

“The library closes at 10pm
Monday through Thursday. It
doesn't give me enough time to

write papers and work on group
projects," Combs said.

But even students who have
had some problems with the
library say that the positive most
often out weighs the ne ative.

Combs said he felt t e library
was conducive to studying
because of the comfortable tables
and chairs and said that he
thought students should have 24
hour access to the computer labs.

john Stapleton, accounting

senior and transit student from
the University of Richmond
(VA) agrees.

“l wash the lab stayed open
later, we don't have anything like
this at my school," Stapleton said.
“I have been pretty impressed with
the facilities. the speed of the com-
puters are reasonable and the soft—
ware is updated. Last week I had 3

wer point presentation and [his

ab is the only way l had to do the
project."

Inner (Iircle’s biggest hit.

APB out for 008

There's an APB out for ODB.

A judge in Virginia Beach,
Virginia, issued a warrant Tues—
dayfor W'u-Tang Clan founder
and Grammy crasher Ol’ Dirty
Bastard after the rapper failed to
show for a court ate. ODB’s
lawyer was also MIA.

The 29-year-old hip-hop star
was to face shoplifting charges.

’ (He allegedly swiped a $50 pair

of Nikes from a Virginia Beach
store July 4.)

VVliiie ()DB's label, Elektra,
had no comment
on his where-

per is scheduled
to perform
August 3 at
Lousiville’s Toy
Tiger.

()l' Dirty has
made his share of 00'
headlines in the
past few months, though rarely
for his music. (He and VVu-Tang
have sold millions of albums and
inspired a successful clothing
line.)

Just last week the ra per had
his Range Rover heiste in front
of a recording studio. And, just
three days before the alle ed
shoplifting incident, he was s at
during an apparent home-inva—
sion robbe .

Back infigebruary, he was one
of a dozen men who helped lift a
1996 Mustang off a stricken
child and then paid a visit to the
tot’s hospital bedside.

A few days later, he stormed
the stage while Shawn Colvin
picked up one of her Grammys
and hijacked the mike. “Puffy is
good, but Wu—Tang is the best,”

Since January, six adult per-
formers, one man and five
women, have tested positive for
the HIV virus -— an alarming
number for a field where clean
bills of health are job rerequi-
sites and monthl AID tests are
routine. X-ratedl roducers are
resgonding to the fiealth crisis by
pu licly vowin to take advice
first dispensed y the US. sur-
geon general more than a decade
ago: Use condoms.

According to trade magazine
Adult Video News, the Industry’s
leading porn
manufacturers
agreed in princi—
p e in June to go
“condoms-only.”

“All perform-
ers, all men, are
wearing con-
doms,” Steven
Hirsch, presi-
dent of Vivid "om":
Video, announced yesterday.
“We are no longer going to allow
the performers to make the deci-
sions as to whether condoms are
or are not used."

Among straight performers,
porn le end John Holmes (who
died 0 AIDS in 1988) was the
exception; AIDS-free perform—
ers, the rule. Journalist Mark
Cromer says the crush of six
diagnoses in six months —— the

 

latest coming just weeks ago — is
more than the number of diag-
noses for the previous 10 years
combined.

Indeed, according to Cromer,
one of the recently infected per-
formers swears she was exposed
to the virus during a shoot for a
flick endearingly called, The
”/0er Bigger! Anal Gangbang.

But can condoms really take
root in a workplace where the all-
key “money shot” has nothing to
do with coins and dollar bills.:

Observers like Cromer think
“condoms-only" is a great idea
that may prove to be a little less
so in practice.

I!” calmer: MIX Mm}!

More than 6.5 million people
invaded the nation’s theaters
over the weekend to see Saving
Private Ryan, producing a clear
victory for the Steven Spielber
World War II drama, whicE
earned $30.6 million, according
to final figures released Monday
by Exhibitor Relations.

AP quoted DreamVVorks
spokesman Jim Tharp as saying.
“The movie played very broad '
across the country -— sma l
towns as well as large cities. 50
percent male and 50 percent
female and the over-25 crowd
was sli htly, only slightly, more
than t e under-25 crowd.
Eve one is smiling here."

T e film routed The Whale o
Zorro, last week's top film, whic
fell 40 percent to $13.4 percent.
Warner's Let/ml M’eapon 4 suf-
fered a similar lunge to $13.1
million. But 20t Century Fox's

to wintrup with $12.5 million.

Opinions flourish in
the hot summer rays

e all enjoy givin UK
departments 3 har time,
but that doesn‘t mean we

can't recognize the good that
often goes unnoticed. For those
who don't remember, columnist
Clark Case took the Student
Billings and Financial Aid to
task a few weeks ago because of
a hapless bureaucracy that led
to a missing scholarship check.
VVe’re happy to report that
Clark now has money to live
on. a welcome apology and a
higher opinion of the bureau-
crats we all love to hate.

V S eaking of the Financial
Aid 0 fice, it has a nifty little
dry-erase board on its wall so
that students can see when
their assigned aid counselor
will be in the office or out to
lunch. It’s not the invention of
the wheel, but for a small
amount of money it helps
bridge the gap between stu-
dent and financial aid officers.

V Lemons to lemonade:
This past spring, the UK
Credit Union lost its affiliation
with Central Bank that provid-
ed credit union members with
free access to its multiple ATM
machines. Rather than force its
members to pay through-the-
nose fees at non-a filiated
ATMs, the UK Credit Union
recentl forged an agreement
with 0 er local institutions.

Members now can visit
ATMs belonging to Common-
wealth Credit Union, Member’s
Heritage Credit Union, Square
D Credit Union and the Vine
Street Trust for free ATM use.

or not, there will soon be more
shopping opportunities on
Nicholasville Road thanks to
UK. A uick drive past UK’s
former (South Farm finds an
army of worker ants preparing
the site for a new Wal-Mart.
we realize the money received
for this valuable property was
set aside for needed projects,
but we also wonder if it put
short term gain ahead of long
term development.

V A pleasant touch: Individ-
uals lucky enough to possess 3
C—5 parking tag for the parking
structure on South Limestone
know that a little rain is nothing
to fear because the can borrow
a loaner umbrel a from the
structure’s Parking and Trans-
portation Office. The addition-
al perk was prompted by a sug-
gestion from Don Thorton
who heard about it at other uni-
versities. Nice job!

V we feel your pain: There
is a cure for the painful,
cramped hands students often

et as they hurriedly scribble
Fengthy answers to essay ques-
tions. Several law schools now
allow students to take exams in
class on laptop computers with
the aid of a program called
Examinator. To combat cheat—
ing it prevents students from
accessing notes, but still lets
them spell check, make revi-
sions and print out answers that
will ease the strain on a tired
professor’s eyes.

Although every student
doesn't own a la top, it would
be nice option fbr those who
do. Ilow about it UK?

‘Private Ryan' hits close to home

Portrait of heroism under fire is too
often forgotten by Americans today

s I grow older, I find

myself more and more

unsettled by the direction
of the United States. In particu-
lar, I find it very disturbing that
most Americans no longer
believe in the concept of the citi-
zen soldier.

Our country was founded on
the idea that each citizen bore a
common responsibility for the
defense of community, state and
nation. However, the
notion that armed defense
of freedom is somehow ,
unnecessary or even sin-
ful has become integrated
into modern American

  

The intensity of the firefight
durin which I was shot in
Soma ia was similar to the cli-
mactic battle at the end of the
movie that demonstrates the
paralyzing effect of fear.

U on viewing the scene, I
vividl’y recalled an instance
where I was absolutely frozen in
fear. Within my first weeks of
arriving in Somalia in 1992, I
found myself at a checkpoint in
the ca ital city of
Mogadisfiu.

My first day at the
checkpoint, I stopped a
young pregnant woman
as she approached my

 

thinking. position. At least 8

I say this because most months pregnant, she

my deep conviction that Columirr position and the woman
the truest Americans are 7 standing in front of me

those willing to stand in
defense of the United States.
This, of course, indicates veter-
ans of the armed forces are those
who can truly regard themselves
as patriots ofthis eat republic.

So last weeE‘; release of
Steven Spielberg’s film, “Saving
Private Ryan” might help illumi-
nate the sacrifices made in shap—
ing and maintainin the United
States as a free re u lic.

As one of the ew combat vet—
erans attending the University of
Kentucky as a student, I can hon-
estl say “Saving Private Ryan”
is the closest approximation of
true combat I have ever seen.

was hit in the abdomen.

As her belly exploded, I
became drenched with a mixture
of blood and fetal tissue. Thank—
fully, I had the presence of mind
to dive behind a sandbaggcd
emplacement before I became
the next casualty.

Others returned fire and I
joined in a quick assault on the
gunman’s position. Within min—
utes we had silenced the gunman
through aggressive fire and
maneuver. I experienced little joy
when I discovered the gunman we
killed was a boy no older than 12.

I understand that the uniniti-
ated may not have the profound

experience I did while watching
this film. By the time this article
is printed, I will have seen this
movie again, this time with my
brother who is also a combat vet-
eran of the Gulf War. I am quite
sure that he will leave the theater
feeling much the same wa I did.

He will see that at the can of
the film is the constitution of
true Heroism born of action. In
this regard, Hollywood has out-
done itself.

Sadly, this nation is in such
desperate need of heroes that we
cheapen the word by applying it
to wholly inappropriate situa-
tions.

A perfect example occurred
this past week. Two police offi-
cers were shot inside the Ca itol
building and immediately these
men were branded “heroes” by
the media and general public.

Now I’ve seen too many ood
men die to ever make Iig t of
anyone’s death. Yet, one of the
police officers labeled a hero was
shot in the back of the head with-
out so much as a chance to draw
his weapon. If that constitutes
heroism then every victim who
has ever been shot during a crime
is a hero. Simply being a police
officer is not an act of heroism.

Americans in search of true
heroic virtue need simply a tour
a Veteran's Administration med—
ical center such as the one on
campus. There ou'll find sted
this motto, “T c price 0 free-
dom is apparent here." More
than any other class of citizens
alive today, it is these men and
women who are the true national
“Heroes."
