The .lustice l)epartment sited the nation‘s tobacco in-
dustry Wednesday seeking billions ofdollars spent treating
smokingrelated illnesses. accusing cigarette-makers of a
45-year campaign of deceit “to preserve their enormous
proﬁts whatever the cost in human lives.”

Student bodies

By Sarah Zopli
CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Every day, people walk around campus proudly
sporting beer guts or love handles. Some bear resem-
blance to beanpoles or l-beams and yet others have the
“Stone Cold" look going for them. Wednesday was a
day to be happy with one's body, regardless of its shape
or Size.

UK Cares, a campus and community task force to
help the campus become more aware of eating disor-
ders, set up a booth in the upper Commons supporting
the national Love Your Body Day. Jill Kidney, a coordi-
nator for the project and an eating disorders specialist
at the Chandler Medical Center, spoke about the many
issues and services UK Cares are trying to get noticed.

“We just formed last spring," she said. “This is the
ﬁrst full year and we are just now getting noticed.”

“In UK Cares we have what we call ‘student advo
cates’ who help us with programming in the sororities
and residence halls," she said. “They also act as a liai-
son between the eating disorder professionals, such as
myself, and the student body. We’re someone that will
always be there to help with the students problems."

The national Love Your Body Day is sponsored by
the National Organization for Women. It is a day to en-
courage women to look at their bodies with pride and
acceptance. Kindly used the motto “you count, calories
don't," along with “you are so much more than num-
bers" to enforce the meaning of this day.

ney General Janet Reno said as her department ﬁled a civil
suit in IRS. District Court here against the major cigarette
makers and research and public relations institutes they
funded. “The cigarette companies realized at least since
1953 that the truth poses a mortal threat to their busi-
nesses."

The lawsuit alleged the companies have conspired
since the i950s to defraud and mislead the public. The in
dustry concealed data that showed nicotine is addictive
and smoking causes disease. sponsored and publicized bi-
ased research and suppressed development of safer ciga-
rettes in violation of federal anti~racketeering law. the suit
alleged.

"Smoking is the nation's largest preventable cause of
death and disease. and American taxpayers should not
have to bear the staggering costs.” Reno said. Federal
health plans spend more than $20 billion a year treating
smoking-related illnesses. which take itiiliioo lives a year.
she said.

(‘ompany spokestnen questioned the government‘s le—
gal arguments and motives. They promised to ﬁght in court
rather than settle. as they (lid in agreeing last year to pay
state governments more than $200 billion over 2;”) years.

“The state law'suits drug on for a for a couple of years

In February, which is National Eating Disorders
Month, UK Cares plans to set up more booths and pos-
sibly have seminars to make students more aware of
the organization. The goal of these booths and semi-
nars will be to let students and the community know
that someone is there to listen and try to help end eat
ing disorder problems. Kindy said.

“I hope to change UK‘s culture involving the im-
portance of body image," she said. “I want the kids to
see that you don’t need to weigh your self-esteem from
the outside, but instead from the inside."

Eating disorders, such as bulimia and anorexia, ef-
fect approximately 5 to 10 million women and 1 million
men, according to national data on eating disorders.
Here at UK the subject hits home to many.

“Did you know that 80 percent of women are dis-
satisﬁed with their bodies and 50 percent of men are?“
she said.

Business freshman Mike Wood said he would be
concerned if anyone he knew was suffering from an
eating disorder.

“I always want to know how I can help these girls
who are doing this to themselves,“ he said.

The primary frustration of men when it comes to
these disorders seems to be a lack of knowledge, ac-
cording to the National Survey on Eating Disorders.

“1 just think it’s a shame that so many girls are un-
happy with the way they look,” said Sarah Curtsinger.
a communications freshman. “We should take pride in
this body we are given. Everyone knows that nobody is

UK agricultural economist.

The state lawsuits not only resulted in payments to
state governtnents. but may have been indirectly responsi-
ble for a fund tobacco companies set up for Kentucky and
other tobacco—producing states.

Tobacco groups successfully lobbied the companies to
set up the fund. which will provide $1.5 billion over the
next 12 years. Snell said.

The state lawsuits involved Medicaid payments the
states made to the poor. The federal snit involves Medicare

Revised equipment levels playing ﬁeld in Ky.

By John Um

NEWS EDITOR

UK‘s Center for Robotics and Manufacturing Sys-
tems will soon be offering small Kentucky manufactur-
ers a chance to play with the big boys.

The center will be sponsoring a series of lun-
cheons at various state locations to let manufacturers
learn about the new Kentucky-National Technological
University Manufacturer‘s Satellite Network.

The satellite network is a program that will allow
local manufacturers to access training courses offered
via satellite by the National Technological University
(NTU) in Fort Collins, Colorado.

Previously. only larger companies, such as IBM.
Hewlett Packard and Motorola, could afford the equip
ment necessary to take advantage of the courses, said
NTU president, Lionel Baldwin.

However. NTU, in business since 1984. changed its
equipment this summer, Baldwin said. Now instead of
equipment designed and manufactured for corporate
use. the new equipment is geared more towards small
businesses, Baldwin explained.

Not only is the new equipment better and more
modern, it is also less expensive, Baldwin added.

Kentucky manufacturers will be receiving an ad-
ditional break, thanks to a group known as the Blue
grass State Skills Corporation.

The initial start-up fee to join the network is about
$1600. but the corporation will pay half, Edwards said.

The Student Newspaper at the Univer

The corporation will also pay half of any course fees
companies have, he added.

Baldwin said that the satellite training courses,
also known as “short courses," had numerous advan-
tages over their old-fashioned counterparts.

Short courses are typically offered at six to ten
different sites on a schedule, Baldwin said. In order
for individuals to take these courses. they had to take
time away from their job and family, and pay travel
expenses such as airfare and hotel rooms. Baldwin
added.

“It's very expensive to participate in short cours-
es the traditional way." he said

Having the opportunity for their employees to
take short courses via satellite. and at a reduced cost.
will help Kentucky manufacturers become more com-
petitive in the world market.

“It (the network) should have a very positive im-
pact. in that it will enable the manufacturers to easily
access the newest technology and business manage-
ment techniques."

Baldwin said that while with the new technology
now enables manufacturers in any state to access
NTU courses much more inexpensively than before.
Kentucky has been the only one to take advantage of
the possibility.

The network offers Kentucky manufacturers a
great advantage. Baldwin said.

“They save time and money. and have the same
beneﬁts that large employers have been having for 15
years," he said.

Greek Bible group looks beyond partying
to life's more spiritual side

By Chris Markus
CONTRIBUYING WRITER

While the public image
of the Greek community
might be one of wild party-
ing, some have turned to an-
other way of living.

At a Tuesday night
meeting, some members of
UK‘s Greek community re-
vealed an aspect of Greek
life that is not yet well-
known: Jesus was the theme
at the Delta Delta Delta
sorority house dining room.

“There are those that go
and party. and there are
those that make an inﬂu-
ence." said Allen Bonnell a
leader in InterVarsity Chris-
tian Fellowship.

Bonnell, decked out in a
T-shirt bearing a quote from
Jesus. “Come follow me," led
the group in songs. Bible
study and prayer.

Bonnell said that going
to church and being a Chris-
tian were not prerequisites
for attending the meetings,
but the group does prefer at-
tendants to be members of
the Greek community.

Stacey Hazle. a nursing
senior and member of Tri-
Delta, credited the group
with helping her stop drink-
ing her sophomore year.

“This group is more or
less an opportunity to offer
support for people in the
same situation that I was
in.“ she said.

Chad Carney. a Farm-
house social fraternity mem-
ber and agricultural eco-

nomics senior. has been ac-
tive in the group since its
conception last January.
Carney. who admits that
there is always pressure to
drink at parties. gives credit
to Jesus for delivering him
from temptations like drink-
ing. drugs and premarital
sex.

“I was raised in the Bap-
tist church and at age 10 I
made the decision to accept
the Lord in my life," Carney
said. “Since then I have
made the personal commit-
ment to get involved, and
this group is one of the ways
that I can do that.”

The group first started
last January when UK stu-
dent Julie Wilson (now grad-
uated) gathered a group of 20
or 30 UK Greeks and took
them to the National Inter-
Varsity Convention in Indi-
anapolis. When the group re-
turned they began to hold
regular meetings.

“We‘re not Bible beat~
ers.“ said Hazle. “We don‘t
try to push our beliefs on
other people. This group is
just another option for peo-
ple."

“This group is a good
way to meet great people,"
said Sarah Walker, a biology
senior and member of Chi
Omega social sorority.

The prayer and Bible
study group meets every
Tuesday at 9 pm. in the din»
ing room of the Delta Delta
Delta sorority house. All
members of the Greek com«
munity are invited to attend.

Students divided on visitation

By Nita Jo Brewer
CONTRIBUTING WRIYER

Eastern Kentucky Universi-
ty has it. Western Kentucky
University has it. Murray State
has it. U of L has it. UK doesn‘t.

What is “it"? “It" is 24~hour
visitation in dormitories.

As most students at UK
know. the dorms have restricted
visitation hours on both week-
nights and weekends. The latest
a student may have a visitor of
the opposite sex is midnight on
weekdays and 2 am. on week—
ends.

Other universities around
the state don‘t have this same
policy in eﬁect. EKU has 24—hour
visitation on weekends, Thurs-
day through Sunday. All of U of
L‘s dorms. with exception of the
freshman halls. have 24-hour
visitation. At Murray State.
each individual hall director
dictates the policy for his or her
respective hall. and a majority
of the halls have 24—hour visita-
tion. Most of WKU's co-ed dorms
also have all-hours visitation.

Is this policy fair? Maybe.

depending on whom you ask. is
it changing? Not likely.

“I think that it certainly oc»
curs on other campuses." said

David Stockham. [IK‘s dean of

students. when asked about 24»
hour opposite sex visitation.
"The two concerns l have are:
how do you do that while maIn
taining safety and security. and
how do you resolve lifestyle dif-
ferences between roommates?
We don‘t want our students to
be frozen out of their rooms
when their roommate has an
overnight guest."

Some students also agree
with Dean Stockham‘s con-
cerns. Communication disor-
ders freshman Kristy (7ody said
she likes having UK's visitation
rules in dorms.

“I like it for myself." she
said. “It puts a limit on my “me;
that way i don't have to worry
about staying up late.” She also
expressed concern with out-
siders being in her dorm at all
hours of the night.

Psychology freshman
Brandy Murray agreed. "1 can
understand why it‘s not that
way." she said.

But not all students are sold
on the restricted visitation.

"i think we should have it.
‘cause id like to have my girl-
friend over all the time." said
David Elam. an undeclared
freshman.

l‘llam and many other stu-
dents on campus believe that
college students deserve to have
visitors any time they see fit.
anti not just for spending more
time with a significant other.
Some men point out that female
visitors may not be girlfriends.
but possibly sisters or close fe~
male friends.

“It allovved us to have late
study sessions." said (‘lay Bak»
er. a former Murray State stu
dent who lived on campus there
and found the all-hours visita-
tion to bean academically posi‘
tive policy.

Many students at [K also
employ late-night study ses»
sions. includmg some ofthe resv
idents of(ireg Page Apartments.
(ireg Page. unlike the dorms on
campus. is free of visitation
rules and regulations. Students
living there have the option of
having guests at any time. just

like any student living in an oil‘-
campus apartment.

As for the possibility of con-
tlicts. not everyone thinks an
overnight guest could lead to
roommate tension.

"It should be up to the per-
son having a visitor and their
roommate." said David Weber. a
computer science freshman.

Many students feel they are
mature enough to handle a 24-
hour visitation policy. Accord-
ing to Stockham. that isn‘t the
most important issue.

“I don‘t think it‘s a matter
of maturity or responsibility."
he said. “I think the Challenge is
to do it (allowing all-hours visi-
tation) while maintaining safety
and security in our residence
halls."

Tony Ralph. from the otlice
of Residence Life. encouraged
students to evaluate issues and
submit proposals if the demand
and interest exists.

“if students want to see
change. we encourage them to
create proposals to submit to ad-
ministration," he said. “Stu-
dents should have their voices
heard."

UK’s losing streak
ends

vs. U ofL

After 10 games and six
years, UK reclaims title
of best in the state

By John Oohson
ASST. SPORiSDAILY EDIIOR

Ten games
enough. thank you.

The volleyball Cats (7-4)
outlasted Louisville (2-8) at
Memorial Coliseum last night
15-13. 10-15. 13-15. 1512. and 15-
10 ending a sixyear. IO-game
losing streak to the Cardinals.

UK came back from a 2-1
deficit. forcing a fifth game in
which they scored seven of the
last nine points for the win.

Senior Jaclyn Homan took
great pride in the victory.

“it‘s really special. When
you haven't done something in
four years. it‘s really a positive
thing for the team. I‘m really
proud of our team for pulling
through this." Homan said.

“I got goosebumps on that
last point. i looked at Katie (Eis-
erman) and said. ‘Let's ﬁnish it
right here."'

Homan recorded a season-
high 21 kills. leading the Cats.

Coach Jona Braden was
proud of the Cats' overall play.

"I‘m proud of the group ef~
fort. proud of how we adjusted.
proud of how we fought."
Braden said. “Yes. we have
things we need to get back to
the drawing board and work
on. but technically. from the
overall perspective, it's a great
win for us."

Braden was also glad to
break UK‘s string of bad luck
against the Cardinals.

“Louisville has an awe-
some program. and they‘ve had
our number for some time." she
said. “I knew it was going to be
emotional. I knew they were go-
ing to come out fighting. It was
our time to answer."

The win comes at a good
time for the Cats. as they travel
to South Carolina to open
Southeastern Conference play
on Friday. then head to Geor-
gia.

was plenty

“This gives us a lot of conﬁ-
dence going into South Caroli-
na. It shows that we can play re-
ally well when we stick togeth-
er." said junior Megan
Weiskircher.

“Since I‘ve been here, we
hadn't beat Louisville. l‘m rea1~
ly excited," she added.

Homan concurred.

“We thrive off these kinds
of situations. when we see that.
