Cheating, plagiarism at issue

‘i ‘ ~"‘ ..-v0‘

Making the grades: UK academic ombud says
communication paramount to preventing problem

By Valerie Thomas

CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Cheating is still a problem that
hurts the validity of the academic
community. says academic ombuds-
man Jetfrey Dembo.

“We need to communicate to
each other what integrity is and vali-

date that is what we believe," Dembo
said.

Instructors should take several
steps to prevent cheating. he said.
such as staying in the classroom
when giving exams.

This tells students they are con-
cerned and are aware of what‘s going
on in class. he said.

Also, the instructor should ex-

plain to students the seriousness of
cheating and plagiarizing.

Communications professor Ra-
mona R. Rush said some students
might not completely understand
what plagiarism is.

She said one student who cheat»
ed in her class was an honors stu—
dent. who said his reason for plagia-
rizing was because he was in a hur-
ry.

A case of cheating sets a differ-
ent tone for a class. Rush said. It
creates a mistrust of students she
had never experienced before.

Residents reminded of explosion

to but most people are staying."

In pieces: Natural gas disaster on Heron Lane still
ringing in the minds of those who live nearby

By Brandy Carter

STAFF WRITER

Imagine yourself sitting down to
celebrate Labor Day with your family
and friends when a loud boom startles
you. Then the blast from the imploded
house a few houses down knocks you
off the couch.

This is what happened to Shaun
Slinkard and his family as they sat
down to eat lunch earlier this month.

The Sept. 6 explosion at 1551
Heron Lane resulted in the death nine
days later Johnie Wilson. 43. who
lived in the house. His father was crit-
ically injured. Authorities say natural
gas caused the blast.

While the explosion is just a memo

 
   
 

ry now. the damage to Slinkard‘s car
and home. at 1543 Heron Lane near St.
Joseph's Hospital. serves as a reminder.

“There are roof shingles in the
trees around the house and the wind
shield of my car is cracked and the
rearview mirmr was knocked ot’l." said
Slinkard. an undeclared freshman.
“Every room in the house was dam-
aged in some way from the explosion."

The tragedy has achr ted the
whole neighborhood. causing some
residents to relocate.

“We finally got to know all of our
neighbors. and because of :ill the
phone calls to the gas companv they
have come out a lot more frequenll.V i”
check the gas lines." Slinkard said.

“Some neighbors have moved out
of the neighborhood or are planning

 

t University of Kentucky,

Slinkard said.

The explosion has left lasting ef-

fects on all those involved.

“The sound froth the blast was so

 

loud it sounded like a propane tank
exploded." said Matt Green. an electri-

cal engineering freshman.

“We are a lot more paranoid now. i

The night after the explosion we went
out to eat and my sister Heidi heard a
out."
Slinkard said. “It has really raised our
awareness that things can happen at
any time and we were just very lucky

that their were no serious injuries."

The only injury was Alex Hol-
loway. 2. who cut his foot on glass

from broken windows.

“Alex doesn‘t really seem to re
member the explosion now but when
we first moved back in he seemed
kind of scared to come in the house."

conference

Faculty takes on education,
empowerment issues

By Regina Prater
srm wants w

About 50 female faculty members and students
gathered at Lexington Community College Satur-
day with the goal ofeducating. empowering and en-
riching each others lives.

Topics at the conference included time man-
agement. networking. motivation. safety. violence.
career options. definition of “self“ and health is-
sues.

Sylvia Lovely. Kentucky League of Cities exec-
utive director. was guest speaker at the event. She
spoke of her road to success and told of her passion
for UK and the state.

Lovely travels to the 347 member cities of her
organization striving to improve unemployment.
training. education. civil entrepreneurship and
civic involvement in Kentucky.

She urged women to become familiar with
computers and to take advantage of the Internet.
She said the success of women and Kentucky‘s
communities is contingent on small. innovative
businesses.

Lovely said women should ban together to
make their cities and Kentucky a more productive
place to live.

To promote violence awareness UK officers
conducted a Rape Aggression Defense session. RAD
is a nationwide program of realistic. selfdefense
tactics and techniques.

In this program women learn awareness. pre-
vention. risk reduction and avoidance while prace
ticing hands—on defense tactics.

LCC president .lim Kerley and his wife. Donna.
addressed the audience and expressed interest and
commitment to continuing the conference in the fu-
ture.

“Community colleges are about lifelong learn-
ing. This conference and this college is about edu-
cating." Jim Kerley said.

In the spirit of empowerment. Shannon Bailey
was the appointed “mentee” for the event. similar to
a apprenticeship position. Bailey works at L(‘C as a
divisional secretary and attends school part-time.

She designed the web page. brochure. program
and registration form for the conference. in addi-
tion to other tasks.

“I had never done anything like this before."
Bailey said. “I am very passionate about this con-
ference and I am proud to be a part of it."

Communications professor Peggy Allen and
l.(‘(‘ staff member Denise White coordinated the
annual event.

“()ne of the things we wanted to celebrate are the
many things women bring to the table." White said.

White. who works in the multicultural affairs
office at LC(‘. said most people think her office
deals only with people of color. When looking at all
the diversity at LCC. she said she realized women
make up a unique culture and have specific needs.

LCC's faculty realized that not enough women
are in positions of leadership and pOWer. White
said. and they wanted individuals to recognize how
important it is to start now. enriching and empow-
ering themselves.

Many times women wait for information to
come to them said Allen. who said she wanted to
provide women with information for whatever
place they were in their lives.

“I wanted women to have new information per-
meate to them when they left here today." Allen
said.

Nuchersnettofluhtcancer

WASHINGTON A Deidre Grant came to the
nation's first march on cancer Saturday because
she, like thousands of others rallying on the Na-
tional Mall, wants to make sure the disease that
kills more than a half-million Americans a year
is not left behind in the fierce competition for re-
search money.

“People are desperate." said Grant of lslip.
N.Y., who wore a T-shirt bearing a picture of her
husband, who died recently of pancreatic cancer.
“People are mobilizing for one united effort, like
the approach they have for muscular dystrophy."

More than a quarter-century after President
Nixon declared war on cancer, the rally celebrat-
ed survivors of cancer, honored its victims and
pushed for money to defeat the disease.

“We have established a beachhead." said
Sen. Tom Harkin, an Iowa Democrat who's had
several siblings battle the disease. “Now we have
to take the Hill."

Harkin, who appeared with Republican can-
cer survivor Sen. Connie Mack of Florida, mo-
tioned behind him toward the Capitol, adding:
“That Hill.“

President Clinton has proposed a 65 percent
increase in cancer research money over five
years. Congressional budget plans would boost
cancer research spending. now at $2.4 billion. by
up to 20 percent for next year.

Germans oust Kohl, elect Schroeder

BONN, Germany — Gerhard Schroeder and
his Social Democrats won national elections yes—
terday. ushering in the first change of govern-
ment Germany has seen after 16 years of conser—
vative rule under Chancellor Helmut Kohl, the
West's longest-serving leader.

The new, 54-year-old chancellor will be the
first of his generation, rooted in the leftist move-
ments of the 19605. to lead Europe's biggest nation.

Throwing up his arms in a victory salute.
Schroeder promised cheering supporters he
would keep promises to fight unemployment »—
this year‘s major campaign issue « as well as
achieve long-awaited tax and economic reforms.

“The Kohl era has come to an end," Schroeder
proclaimed to the cheering party faithful. “Our
task will be to thoroughly modernize our country
and to unblock the backlog of reform."

Israel accepts U.S. plan in part

NEW YORK _,, Secretary of State Madeleine
Albright's push for at least a partial West Bank
accord cleared a major hurdle Sunday as Israel
largely accepted a US. proposal for how much
land it will yield to Palestinians.

But Israel's ambassador to the United Na-
tions. Dore Gold, said in an interview: “If there‘s
no security. there is no deal."

In an interview Sunday with CNN. Israeli
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel‘s
agreement with the United States was “almost com-
plete about the amount of land that we would hand
over. It is territory that is uninhabited by Palestini-
ans but is very important for our security.“

Netanyahu said the remaining issue was “to
make sure that the land that we hand over to the
Palestinians does not become a base for contin-
ued terrorist attacks against Israel."

NEW YORK » Not so, says Mariah Carey to

two divas are teaming up again to shoot the
“When You Believe" video. Carey said. “It will be
a live performance. And no. we don‘t have a cat-
fight and scratch each other‘s eyes out."

Firms compete to publish Clinton
lover's book

LONDON — Four British firms are interestw
ed in publishing a semi-autobiographical novel
by a woman who claims to have been President
Clinton’s longtime lover, her British agent said
on Sunday. Clinton has denied high-school class-
mate Dolly Kyle Browning‘s allegations that they
had occasional sex between the mid-19705 and
1992.

Browning’s agent, Kizzi Nkwocha. told
Reuters he hoped to make an announcement later
this week about which of the publishers will bring
out the book that he says could fetch $1.67 million.
But if you can't wait to read Browning’s Purposes
of the Heart. it's already available for sale on the
lntemet.

scribe the new Sandra Gold-
‘. .. ' bacher film. The Governess.
The film. starring Minnie
Driver. relates the tale of a
young, Jewish woman who
confronts sudden poverty
when her father is murdered.
Driver's character. Rosina.
faces a marriage to an older
man whose wealth could save
her family. To escape the mar-
riage, she assumes the persona
of a Christian governess
named Mary Blackchurch.
Rosina advertises and re-
ceives a position with the
Cavendish family in Scotland
She finds the household and its
members stifling at first. She
hates pretending to be someone
she is not and longs to return
- to her family in London.

images on treated paper. the
earliest form of photography.

Although he uses his cam-
era to print pictures of scientif-
ic specimens. Rosina sees in
his pictures the possible cre-
ation of a new form of art. To-
gether. they work to find a way
to make the images permanent.
but it is Rosina who finally
happens upon the solution.

Their constant proximity
to each other creates a sexual
tension that cannot be ignored.
Eventually. they begin an affair
that threatens to consume them
both.

Charles is not the only one
drawn to Rosina. His son. Hen-
ry. returns home after being
kicked out of Oxford Universi-
ty and finds Rosina fascinating

feuding family members makes for one high-quality film

and enchanting. He begins to
fantasize about her. unaware
that her heart belongs to his fa-
ther.

Henry’s arrival marks a
turning point in Rosina’s life.
Her affair with Charles begins
a downward spiral. which
threatens to consume her.

Driver delivers a powerful.
moving performance as Rosina.
This performance could earn
her another Oscar nomination.

Clemantina (Florence
Hoath) Rosina‘s charge adds
another stellar performance to
her young career. Most recent-
ly seen in Fairy Tale, A True
Story, Hoath gives depth and
scope to an otherwise over-
looked character.

The other Cavendish child
is portrayed superbly by Irish
newcomer Jonathan Rhys
Meyers. Currently unknown to
American audiences, Meyers
delivers the best performance
in the film. Audience members

will leave with his image em-
blazoned in their minds. This
young man has a long career
ahead of him.

Charles (Tom Wilkinson) of
The Full Monty gives a luke-
warm performance. He portrays
Charles precisely as viewers ex-
pect. but he fails to infuse the
passion of the other characters.

This film. is a powerful in-
trospective into the realm of
human emotion. Constantly
portrayed in its fragile state.
the film emphasizes this
fragility through the image of
the gull’s wing, which is the fo-
cus of Charles’s work.

The cinematography re-
flects the surreal nature of the
film perfectly with the effective
use of image distortion.

The Governess will most
likely gain a lot of attention
from the Academy Award com-
mittee. Superbly acted and
beautifully filmed. this one is
worth seeing.

The Governess is now
showing for a limited time at
the Kentucky Theatre.

No reason
to 111188 rush

Killer Duo: Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker
prove to be a winning combo in Rush Hour

about each other's cultures.
()ther than the obligatory
bonding scene where Tucker
teaches ('han to dance. the
movie avoids scenes that usu—
ally plague such films.

Action movies seem to be
just a mix of excessive explo-
sions. computer~generated
graphics. and the Michael Bay
school of quick~cut. music-
video style sequences.

But none of those are nec~
essary in a movie when you
have Jackie Chan. and Rush
Hour gives him plenty of op-
portunities to employ his
unique brand of action. with
everything from pool cues to
serving trays being used as
weapons.

What makes Rush Hour
refreshing is the movie's
brisk pacing. The comedy and
action are interwoven in the
same scenes. with Jackie
Chan‘s physical comedy over-
coming his poor English.
Tucker makes up for his lack
of physical prowess by letting
out a non-stop stream of hu~
morous barbs (Make sure you
stay for the end credits).

Sure the characters are
paper thin, the story doesn‘t
make a whole lot of sense and
every stereotype imaginable
is thrown in. But this is an ac-
tion movie — who cares about
characters and plot? These
movies aren't supposed to be
intelligent. they're supposed
to be entertaining. and Rush
Hour delivers.
