3?ng back Glenn's campaign

The second debate for SGA
presidential candidates has
Glenn/Holloway pleased

By Amanda York
SCENE EDITOR

Tuesday night the Greek organiza-
tions voted to back SGA President Jimmy
Glenn and his running mate Amanda H01-
loway in their quest for the 200001 SGA term.

At the debate. the G-Pac. a group of
panelists made up of representatives from
the Greek community. presented presiden-
tial candidates Jimmy Glenn and Keisha
Carter with questions about their plans for
the future of SGA.

In his opening remarks. Glenn
thanked the Greek community for getting
involved with the upcoming election and

discussed his campaign. which he and run-
ning mate Amanda Holloway have named.
"You Can Count On Us."

Glenn said the experience he and H01-
loway have gained this past year in SGA
qualifies them for another term.

“Amanda and I have both been in the
organization." Glenn said. “We both have
worked with the administration and num-
bers of student organizations. It is that ex-
perience. that knowledge. that know how.
that make us the best choice for student
government."

While Glenn stressed his experience
in SGA. opponent Keisha Carter stressed
the importance or working against tuition
increases. improving existing services in
student government. getting more stu-
dents involved in student government. cre-
ating an African-American Studies pro-
gram and improving food services.

Carter also discussed some of the plat-

Carter cited her involvement in work-

when an ordinance was proposed that
would have prohibited students who live
off campus from having more than three
roommates.

"Just like when I led you all down to
the city to stop the housing ordinance to
only allow three people to live together. I
want to lead you back downtown so that 18

March has been declared Severe
Storm Preparedness Month, and Ken-
tucky is a state where severe weather re-
ally hits home.

Tornadoes in Kentucky have in-
creased over the last 20 years with 90
recorded tornadoes from1980 through
1989 and 169 on record from 1990 through
1999.

Injuries and deaths from tornadoes
have also increased dramatically.

From now until July. severe weather
such as thunderstorms and tornadoes is
most likely to happen.

Lexington-Fayette Urban County
Govemment‘s Division of Environmental
and Emergency Management (DEEM) is
trying to increase awareness about such
occurrences.

“The main thing you have to remem-
ber is to get indoors [during severe
weather]. and if a tornado is coming. get
as many walls as possible between you
and the outside.“ said Dion LeMieux.
emergency management program
manager.

There are two classifications for se-
vere weather: watches and warnings.

A watch, such as a thunderstorm
watch. means that the conditions are
right for such an occurrence. People may
continue with regular activities. but be
warned that an emergency may come up
suddenly.

A warning. such as a tornado warn-
ing. means that an actual storm has been
sighted. For this. a person should then
find shelter as quickly as possible to
avoid harm.

If a person gets caught outside during
a thunderstorm. a brochure printed by
the DEEM recommends finding shelter
and avoiding tall or metal objects.

If a tornado occurs. the DEEM has
several steps for protection. Stay away
from windows, doors and outside walls.
Go to the basement or most interior room
in the house. and get under something. If
in a car or mobile home. leave them and
find a stronger shelter.

When a severe storm occurs in Lex-
ington. there are several announcements
and warnings made by the media and the
government.

Cable television is interrupted with

 

the Student Newspaper at the University of Kentucky,

an announcement.

Radio stations are alerted by the
Emergency Alert System. Weather radio
systems carry the National Weather Scr-
vice out of Louisville.

Outdoor warning sirens are located
throughout the city in parks.

UK will soon have its own siren. lo-
cated in the coal pile behind the soccer
fields.

The warning will be three beeps and
a recorded voice message.

“People need to take the warnings to
heart." LeMieux said. “Conditions can

PETA puts
spotlight
on milk

By Chris Markus
ASSISTANI NEWS EDITOR

It doesn't take much convincing to get
a college student to give up drinking milk
in the name ofhccr,

l’E'l‘A (People for the Ethical ’l‘rcatA
mcnt of Animals) recently gave college stu-
dents more reasons to make the transition.

According to a study done by l’E'l‘A.
drinking beer poses less of a health risk
than drinking milk.

Morgan Leyh. college action campaign
coordii‘iator for PETA. said the purpose of
publishing the results of the study was to
grab the attention ofcollcgc students.

llut l’E’l‘A received attention from
more people than just college students.
When l’E'l‘A released their results. a
hotbed of controversy soon ensued.

Mothers Against Drunk Driving called
the I’E'I‘A campaign ”irresponsible and of
fensivc." and it was ultimately pressure
from MAlll) that led l’E'l‘A to pull the na
tional college campaign.

“We are pleased to hear that PETA is
pulling the “Got liccr'." campaign that en-
courages college students to drink beer in
stead of milk.“ said MAUI) President Millie
l. Webb.

I’E'I‘A hopes that by exposing the iicga»
two effects that milk has on human health
the ultimate effect will he to end what
PETA consulcrs to be harsh conditions for
dairy cows.

“Knowing how cows suffer in the dairy
industry is enough to make :uiyoiic illt‘ilist‘
intolerant." said Ingrid Ncwkirk. presidcnt
of l’E’l‘A.

Leyh says that milk can be connected
to America‘s three big killers: heart dis
ease. cancer and stroke.

Leyh also said that the milk produced
by dairy cows is unhealthy to humans be
cause the cows arc given hormones. antihi
otics and feed that is treated with [)t‘SIl
cities.

l’E'l‘A has replaced the “Got Beer?“
campaign with a new set of ads that feature
the faces of cows in the form of "missing“
ads that are commonly found on the back
of milk cartons.

PETA's word

Although PETA has officially pulled the "Got
Beer?" campaign. results of the beer vs. milk
issue can still be found at

HMOs cut costs with chopped pills

NEW YORK . 77 In an effort to cut costs. three
big HMOs are asking people who take antidepres-
sant medicines to buy higherdose pills and then
chop them in half. Larger pills cost about the
same as smaller ones. but some pharmacists and
consumer advocates worry that if patients forget
to split their pills or don't do it just right. the
drugs may not work correctly. Kaiser Perma~
nente and Foundation Health Systems have been
recommending the practice around the country
for several years while United Healthcare has
been introducing it to the Southeast this year.

WASHINGTON o The Senate yesterday

kissed a golden bowl of Palestinian soil ,_. one of several
gestures the Palestinians saw as recognition of their

As a beaming Yasser Arafat looked on, the 79-year-old
pontiff proclaimed Palestinians‘ “natural right to a home-
land“ and visited a crowded, dusty camp for refugees ex—
iled from their homes since the 1948 Mideast War. But
soon after he left, Palestinian frustrations turned violent: Shr- d mmrm m.

peace.

Earlier in the day, John Paul called for international
action to end Palestinian suffering.

“Your torment is before the eyes of the world," he de-
clared. “And it has gone on for too long."

However, the day in Bethlehem — the city John Paul
said was at the heart of his pilgrimage — also had a strong
spiritual note. In Manger Square, near Jesus‘ traditional
birth grotto in the Church of the Nativity. a golden-clad
pontiff leaning on a silver staff celebrated Mass before
thousands of faithful.

Later, he descended into the grotto and knelt before
the star marking the spot where Mary is believed to have
given birth. In the soft glow of candles, the pope sat in si-
lence as his aides respectfully slipped out of the grotto.

Despite the Vatican's portrayal of the papal trip as
purely spiritual. the pope touched on contentious issues of
clear consequence to the region. The Palestinians, in turn.
lost no time driving home the message of their aspirations
of independence.

”Welcome to our land." Arafat told the pope at a for-
mal reception that kicked off the only day the pope was

Varying views on sexuality

ly_AsMoy York

STAFF IRlIER

Meet Tarzan and Jane for the new
millennium.

In a time where men don‘t have to
occupy the role of sexual dominance.
and women express sexual assertive
ness. it is safe to say that our genera-
tion views sex differently from our
parents.

Nat Pulmano. a management and
finance sophomore. attributes open-
minded attitudes about sex to televi-
sion and the Women's movement.

“Because we are a different gener-
ation. and sex is talked about on televi-
sion. we accept it more. Whereas. our
parents couldn‘t just talk about it be-
cause it was extremely taboo." she
said.

Pulmano admitted that sex roles
between men and women have
changed.

“In my cultural experience in the
gay community. I find that if you are
the sexually assertive one when it
comes to having sex you must be the
more manly one. If you are the more
feminine one. your sexuality can't be
advertised and is not encouraged.“ she
said.

The supposed male and female
roles continue to surround us and atti-

tudes about sex are seen in society.

Eric Polk. an elementary education
junior. said that television allows us to
believe that casual sex is perfectly 0K.

“Traditional roles of sex have
changed. It seems that everybody is
having sex and one night stands all of
the time ~ it‘s crazy. It‘s not about love
anymore. just sex,“ Polk said.

Polk‘s reaction shouldn‘t be sur-
prising. since a 1996 survey by Details
magazine and Random house said that
.31 percent of males and 42 percent of fe~
males admitted to having a one-night
stand.

Pulmano and Polk hope that soci-
ety will shy away from the stereotypes
that surround women and men con-
cerning sex. Pulmano referred to the
cliche that men are studs if they have
sex. whereas women are sluts.

"Women are taught that sex is
bad." Pulmano said. “We are taught
that the vagina is for procreative pur—
poses. not pleasure. (We are taught) if
you give up that part of the body. you
might as well be a whore."

Polk begs to differ because he said
he has met a lot of women who are as
sex hungry as men.

“The stereotype about guys is true
for the majority, but there are excep.
tions. The majority makes the excep-
tions look bad." Polk said.

 

ANILMQRLSEX.

Holding out for marriage

ELEM “clone-

comiautmo mum

Some students find college to be a
whole new world. Away from the pro-
tective parental shield of home. they
now are making life-altering choices:
including whether or not to have sex.

“The traditional college age is a
time to figure out what they think for
themselves." said Mary Bolin-Reece.
PhD. “Exploring sex is part of that de-
velopment process."

Bolin-Reece, director of the Coune
seling and Testing Center at UK. helps
students deal with personal issues in-
cluding premarital sex.

Students have varied perspectives
on this issue. Some act on sexual chem-
istry regardless of risks. for others pro
tection is a main concern. Many view
sex as appropriate only in a committed
relationship or marriage. Bolin-Reece
said.

Jake Nyman falls into the last
group.

“Morally I believe it is wrong. but I
also believe that there are circum—
stances where it can happen that
should not be. demoralizing.“ he said.

But Nyman admits abstinence.
though realistic and healthy. is hard to
return to.

“It‘s a commendable thing to be
able to do." he said.

Lindsey Miller, a communications
junior. put it bluntly.

"I think one night stands are pa-
thetic." Miller said.

Katie Klare. a kinesiology senior.
thinks sex should be between two peo-
ple who cherish each other.

"()nce sex is used for the pleasure
of a one night stand it starts to lose its
meaning." Klare said.

However. we are human beings
and it is hard to deny sexual urges.
said Eugene Penn. pastor of United
Methodist Church. His advice. avoid
situations where sex might occur and
“pray a lot.“

Penn. a pastoral counselor. cau-
tions that sex can complicate a rela
tionship and blind you to another per-
son‘s faults.

People substitute sex for getting
spiritually satisfied. Penn said. We all
have a void that we try to fill material-
ly. sexually or emotionally but it can
only be filled spiritually with a rela«
tionship with God.

“We‘re technological giants but
moral idiots." Penn said. "We can‘t
deal with it (the issue of sex) yet."

Take both people into considera-
tion. look at the benefits and the conse-
quences. and talk about the issue be-
fore making your decision Bolin-Reece
said. Whatever your decision. it will be
one you can take responsibility for.

Despite misconceptions,
vegetarianism can be
good for your health

By Amanda York
SCENE EDITOR

When Laura Martin sits down for
a meal she chooses to neglect one of
the five basic food groups _, meat. Lau-
ra Martin purposely doesn't eat meat
and hasn‘t for almost three years.

Martin, an undeclared freshman.
said she stopped eating meat for health
reasons.

“It got to the point where meat
kind of grossed me out just because it
didn‘t taste good anymore." Martin
said. “I read a lot of stuff about meat
being bad for you so i decided not to
eat meat anymore."

Susan Lower Bogardus. professor
in the department of nutrition and
food sciences, said people‘s reasons for
becoming vegetarians vary from ethi-
cal to health reasons.

“Most people choose a vegetarian
diet for a specific reason." she said.
“Usually they are ethically against it.
they don‘t want to kill animals."

Veggies good, no?

Bogardus said not eating meat has
been shown to decrease overall cardio-
vascular rates and cancer.

Three types or categories of vege‘
tarians exist. Bogardus said. The three
categories. lacto-ovo. vegan and mac-
robiotic differ from one another in
many ways.

Lacto-ovo vegetarians eat milk.
eggs and other dairy products. Bogar-
dus said most vegetarians subscribe to
this diet.

Vegans don‘t eat any animal prod-
ucts and Bogardus said people who
subscribe to this diet could have diffi-
culties obtaining protein. calcium and
vitamin 812.

The macrobiotic vegetarians limit
themselves greatly in the food they eat.
Bogardus said.

“Their diet is very limited in the
types of food that they are allowed and
their main protein sources are nuts
and legumes." she said.

Bogardus said macrobiotic vege»
tarians tend to choose their diet based
on beliefs.

“it is actually more of a lifestyle
choice and it has a lot to do with what
they believe in. but the main things
they do dietary-wise is they have a
very strong limit on the types of food
they allow." she said.

 

Better eat

Students have no trouble finding a
McDonald‘s or Taco Bell when they
are craving meat. but where do vege-
tarians shop for the food they crave?

There are more places to buy veg-
etarian and natural foods locally then
most people may think.

Good Foods Co-op in Lexington. a
grocery store that features a complete
line of vegetarian and natural foods.
caters to vegetarians.

Stock manager. Dan Arnett. said
the store is one of the biggest in the na-
tion.

The store also has its own regis-
tered dietitian. Beth Loiselle. that can
answer questions customers may have
about diet plans or the products at the
store.

A place close to campus where stu-
dents can stop is Everybody‘s Natural
Foods and Deli.

Ben Schiffbauer. manager of the
store. says the store has come a long
way since it started 16 years ago.

“In the middle 805. there was not
many places to get vegetarian foods.
especially in restaurant form. so we
decided to fill a niche,“ he said.

Good eatin’

Michael Crow and Neha Nehta
enjoy each other's company at
Everybody's Restaurant, a veg-
etarian restaurant located on
the corner of Woodland and
Euclid Ave. Everybody’s also
features a store for personal
nutrition with smoothies and
herbal supplements.

Bogardus also said macrobiotic
vegetarians are more likely to have
nutritional deficiencies.

Despite the fact that not eating
meat can result in some nutritional de-
ficiencies. Bogardus said the diet is ac-
tually very healthy.

“The diet is really very good for
you and has a lot of health benefits. It
decreases the total quantity of protein
in the diet normally and increases the
retention of calcium. potassium and
magnesium.“ she said.

Bogardus also said one of the
biggest misconceptions surrounding
vegetarianism is that you cannot get
adequate protein. She did however
caution vegetarians to complement
their diet with proteins to obtain es-
sential amino acids.

Even though some students stop
eating meat and commit to the herbi-
vore lifestyle. other students said they
tried the vegetarian lifestyle but just
couldn‘t give up their meat.

George Huffman. a political sci-
ence senior. said he gave up all animal
products for about six months and be
came a vegan.

it didn't last long though.

“i got hungry and i decided that
vegetarianism sucked because I like
meat." he said.

 

your vegetables

The store sells items such as
health'food style snack foods. break»
fast cereals. veggie burgers. soy and
rice milks and 100 percent soy and veg-
etarian protein powders.

The smoothie and juice bar is
what the store is most known for and
can be enjoyed while shopping for oth»
er nutritional vegetarian items.

The Alfalfa Restaurant allows
vegetarians to have a nice meal in a sit
down atmosphere.

Although the menu at the restau-
rant is not entirely vegetarian. the
owner. Jeff McClanahan. says that
around 50 percent of the food it serves
is vegetarian.

“Much of the food here at Alfalfa
is a good mix of vegetarian food as well
as healthy-type food like sea-food and
chicken.“ say
