Animal kingdom

Squirrel, the
campus
creature

Some don't mind the
little gray fur balls
around campus.
others despise them.
In the unforgettable
words of Whitney
Smith, “Squirrels are
evil tree rats!" She is
not alone. But from
the information
gathered, they do
seem harmless
enough.

The gray squirrel has
been traced back 50
million years from a
fossil record made in
North America.

There are more than 365
species of squirrels
in seven families. It
is the largest group
of living mammals on
earth.

Squirrels account for
about 40 percent of
all present day
mammals.

Squirrels are the most
active in late winter,
when the mating
season begins.

The male tree squirrel
takes twice as long
as the female to
groom itself. They
are the cleanest
animal in the rodent
family.

A female squirrel will
choose the strongest
male during mating
season. but is
unlikely to breed with
that male again. This
is nature's way of
reducing inbreeding
and preserving the
species.

A baby squirrel weighs
about an ounce at
birth and is about an
inch long. They do
not have hair or
teeth and are
virtually blind.

The squirrel will retire to
its nest well before
dark and will rarely
leave the nest at
night. in the winter.
the squirrel will
complete its
activities between
dawn and mid-day
and will remain in or
around the nest until
the next day.

During winter storms or
severe cold weather,
the squirrel might
not leave the nest
for days. But the tree
squirrel does not
hibernate! It will,
though. share its
nest with other
squirrels to conserve
body heat during
severe or prolonged
cold spells. Once it
gets warmer, the
guests will be on
their way.

Squirrels' eyes are
located high and on
each side of their
head; this allows
them a wide field of
vision without turning
their head.

of genes introduced itito a tohacco

The genetic promoter was jointly

The Low-down

White House attacks charges

WASHINGTON —» In the second day of de
fense presentations in President Clinton's im-
peachment trial. White House lawyers yesterday
targeted the arguments presented by House pros-
ecutors. Special Counsel Greg Craig said prose-
cutors had wrongly tried to criminalize “utterly
meaningless" conflicts in testimony. For exam-
ple. Craig said prosecutors were wrong to say
Clinton had lied under oath when he told the
grand jury that he engaged in intimate contact
and sexual banter with Monica Lewinsky in 1996
and 1997. Lewinsky testified the activity began in
1995. Later. White House Deputy Counsel Cheryl
Mills argued that prosecutors had “shortchanged
the truth“ in making their case that Clinton obs
structed justice.

Clinton pitches agenda on road

BUFFALO. NY. , Riding a bump in the
polls. President Clinton argued vigorously yes-
terday for his plan to save the budget surplus for
protecting Social Security before a crowd of more
than 20.000 at the Marine Midland Area. Clinton.
joined by the vice president and both their wives.
promoted the agenda he revealed in his State of
the Union address. Clinton‘s travels were in
keeping with his efforts to focus on the nation's
business despite his impeachment trial. The
president's job approval rating got a lift after last
night's speech and ranged from 66 percent to 76
percent. according to several network polls.

Social Security plan faces blocks

WASHINGTON _, Federal Reserve Chair-
man Alan Greenspan swiftly joined congression-
al Republicans in shooting down the most contro—
versial part of President Clinton's Social Securi-
ty plan. saying the government should not invest
hundreds of billions of dollars in the stock mar-
ket. ”I do not believe it is politically feasible to in»
sulate such huge funds" from political interfer-
ence. Greenspan said. He said he enthusiastically
supports most of Clinton‘s plan. which would use
62 percent of government surpluses over the next
15 years to bolster Social Security's cash re-
serves.

Fiber doesn't reduce cancer

NEW YORK — Contradicting years of
dietary wisdom. a large new study found no
evidence that eating lots of high-fiber foods
like bran, beans and whole wheat bread
does anything to lower the risk of colon
cancer. But previous studies also have
found that a diet rich in fruits. vegetables
and whole grains has many other health
benefits. The colon cancer study is pub-
lished in tomorrow's New England Journal
of Medicine.

NCAA wants shield from suits

WASHINGTON —— The NCAA told the
Supreme Court yesterday that a key anti-
bias law guaranteeing federal protection
against sex discrimination in most schools
does not apply to it. The NCAA was chal-
lenging a federal appeals court‘s decision in
a lawsuit drafted by a law student angry
that she was denied a spot on her college
volleyball team. The NCAA said it was in-
correctly classified as an indirect recipient
of federal aid because of the dues it collects
from its 1,200 member schools. If the court
allows the suit to continue. the NCAA could
be on the hook in a host of other discrimina-
tion lawsuits based on race or disability. A
ruling is expected by summer.

Dmollecting a tradition

A scout for all time: Jewel's collection of
paraphernalia a lengthy, cherished pastime

By ilacia Galbraath
SlAFi’ “HER

all Karla Dooley
Assnsmi um [DIiOli

Many people go through
life having been a member of
Boy Scouts or Girl Scouts when
they were young. but few have
the dedication of David Jewel.

Jewel began scouting at
age 8 and at 11 years old be-
came a Boy Scout. Since age
18. he has been an adult
leader.

He attended the National
Boy Scout Jamboree in 1985
and decided to begin collecting
Boy Scout paraphernalia such
as patches. books. papers and
ads. He says it's been his fa-
vorite pastime ever since.

Jewell estimates that his
collection includes about 15.000
pieces from throughout the
century, beginning in the
19108.

He displays his collection

» Northsidc and

every February during the an-
nual anniversary of the Boy
Scouts of America.

The collection is on dis-
play now through the end of
February at the Lexington
Public Library‘s main branch.
with additional displays at the
Beaumont
branches.

Arranged in six cases. the
collection is divided by themes
such as the various ranks in
Boy Scouts. high adventure
events. a Cub Scout display
and materials from the Nation.
a] Jamboree. Jewel said he has
received a good response to the
displays in the past.

“It's very popular with the
local community. as well as
school children." said Steve
Davenport. assistant manager
at the Northside branch. He
has worked with Jewel for the
past four years to set up the
display. “it gives (children) a
sense of continuity that they‘re

a part of something that has
traditions that go back.“

Boy Scout leaders also
agree Jewel‘s collection is a
real treasure.

“it takes a lot of effort to
put together what he has.“ said
Tim Winner. who was Cub
Master for Jewel's troop until
earlier this month. “it makes
you take a step back.“

Winner said Jewel's collec»
tion always reminds him of the
many hours of work Boy
Scouts had to do to receive
those badges. “There's al-
ways been an importance of
the pieces he's collected." Win-
ner said.

“It shows the things that
we look to for the future." said
Jack Lee. program director for
the Boy Scouts of America
Bluegrass Council. "It shows
the principals of what we think
a good American is."

But Jewel's interest in
scouting extends beyond col-
lecting. He‘s also a Den Leader
for a pack of 8-year-old Cub
Scouts. one of whom is his son.

Jewel has been a major
contributor to the life of the
group.

"I think it's very impor-
tant to him to help provide av-
enues for kids.“ Winner said.
“He’s always willing to offer
assistance within the pack If
he were gone. I‘d have a lot of
things missing."

Originally from a suburb
in Cleveland. Jewel attended
Cleveland State University for
two years before joining the
Army. As a recruiter. he fre-
quently moved from base to
base. all the while continuing
with his Boy Scout leadership
in Ohio. New York. Mississippi
and Kentucky.

After 20 years in the Army.
Jewel took an early retirement
and decided to pursue a civil
engineering degree at UK. At
43. he has two years left before
graduation. After graduating.
he said he plans on “joining an
engineering firm , possibly in
Kentucky. depending on the
market and economy."

Jewel also has a website in
which he actively trades. buys
and sells Boy Scout memora-
bilia online.

“i am always looking for
new things to add to my collec
tion." he said.

Roth takes
helm for IFC

Large and in charge: New president looks
to change perception of UK's Greek system

By Ryan Scher
CONlRIBUTING WRiiER

When Brian Roth thinks
about the image of UK‘s social
fraternities. he ponders their
potential and imagines change.

So Roth. a finance sopho-
more. sought out the position of
president of UK‘s Interfraterni-
ty Council, and in December.
was elected to that post.

Although being president
of the IFC is a demanding job.
Roth wanted it.

“It was a chance to deal
with people and see what the
fraternity system was like." he
said.

Non-Greeks have criticized
fraternities in the past. and
Roth is attempting to reinvent
the image of the fraternities.

“The frats are trying to
make better than the all—male
average. which is around 2.8."
Roth said.

There will be penalties for
those people who don't make
the grade. Roth said men who
don’t improve their grade-point
averages will be placed on pro-
bation.

These people will be limit-
ed to four social activities. such
as mixers or formals.

Community service is high
on Roth’s goal list. Under
Roth’s direction. the [RC is at-
tempting to build a house for
Habitat for Humanity.

Mechanical engineering
sophomore Jason Cullens
thinks building a house is an
admirable goal.

“It would be excellent for
the community. and the frater-
nities to commit time and mon-
ey to building the house." he
said.

Tony Blanton. the dean of

fraternities who advises lFC.
thinks the house will help erase
popular stereotypes about fra-
ternities.

“It's a good start in helping
people see that frats exist for
reasons other than social
events." he said.

Building the house will re‘
quire manpower. and Cullens.
the IFC‘s vice president of Ex-
ternal Relations. said UK‘s 18
fraternities have 1.060 men.

“We‘re hoping for 100 per-
cent participation." he said.

Cullens has a positive out-
look about Roth’s tenure as
president.

“He has a lot of good ideas.
and he's an organized person."
Cullens said.

Blanton said Roth will be
an active leader.

“I think Brian is going to be
a handson leader.“ he said. “Bri—

in recent years. the insti-
tute has expanded its re-
search to include plant
biotechnology. About two
thirds of the research done

there now involves the use of

genetic engineering to try to
discover new and innovative
uses for tobacco.

This new promoter will
offer an alternative to biotech-
nology companies for what is
already available. and in do
ing so represents an impor-
tant component to the insti-
tute’s progress. Davies said.

“The institute‘s primary
focus today is on helping to

bring the benefits of biotech-
nology to tobacco growers.“
Davies said.

The researchers hope
the promoter will attract
companies and draw their at-
tention to potential Lts‘t‘S of
tobacco. This. in turn. will
hopefully help the Kentucky
tobacco grower.

“(lt's) nice to have a prac-
tical technology come out of
basic research." said David
Smith. chairman of the plant
pathology department.

One commercial license
has already been granted by
UK's Research Foundation for
the use of the promoter. and
negotiations are presently
taking place for a second one.

“if we have patentable
projects under development
at this institution. that makes
companies take us seriously."
Davies said.

"We want to be involved
in the biotechnology revolti»
tion. and that includes the de-
velopment of intellectual
property. That makes us play-
ers in the game."

Smith selected UK histo-
ry graduate student Troy
Jackson to help with the pro-
ject.

"It‘s just a real privilege
to have this opportunity."
said Jackson. who is also a
minister.

Both men said they are
beginning to see King‘s influ-
ence in their own sermons.

“He was so good at using
metaphors and images to
bring home his point." Jack»
son said. “i think that‘s the
key. his ability to lock in on
a phrase. That's something
I‘ve noticed anti try to incor-
porate."

 

But the endeavor does
have its difficulties.

“Knowing what trig-
gered what for him can be
difficult." said Jackson. who
sometimes has to try to piece
together an entire sermon
from an outline.

But Smith and Jackson
both said the effort would be
worth it.

“Without question. it's
one of the most significant
projects in terms of primary
sources." Smith said. “It's a
great blessing."

“The. papers are the only
authoritative version of
King's speeches and ser-
mons." Carson said. “They
will constitute the official
version of his writings. That
is something that is only
done once for a person."

Part of the reason for the tree transplants at Ull. officials say, is to create a “park-like setting" on campus.

UK is playing a game of musical chairs
with the trees on Columbia Avenue. (‘rews
have been working to remove and transplant
dozens of trees along the outskirts of the
William T. Youtig Library.

The trees that were alottg the street are be—
ing moved closer to the library and ttew trees
are taking their spots.

“The trees that were here were not in the
original design." said George Reddile. L'K
grounds superintendent.

"We were just using those spots as a sort
of nursery until we could plant them perma-
netttly."

The new trees along the perimeter will be
different types of maples.

"We use different types so that if one type
doesn‘t survive well here. then we can just re-
place that type." Reddile said.

The trees are around seven years old and
were grown on a commercial nursery in
Springfield.

"We want to keep the grounds surrounding

working.

“it‘s nice to have sotne green space in the
center of campus." said Paul Willis. director of
libraries.

“1 have seen people out there throwing
Frisbee. playing softball and even someone ca-
noeing in the depression after a hard rain. Stu-
dents really seem to enjoy it."

At least one resident of Columbia Avenue
liked the new additions across the street.

“They are pretty." said Ray Thompson.
who has lived on the street for 60 years. “I
wouldn‘t mind having a few of them in thy own
yard."

Students think the trees add to the appeal
of the library.

“They draw attention away from the park-
ing lots." said Alex Shelley. a biology senior.
“(Theyl make the library look more profes-
sional.”

Officials said the transplanting ought to be
finished in a couple of weeks.
