Under control: Concerns on sweatshop abuse
addressed from the outset, athletics officials

By Amber Scott
STAFF WRITER

The days of protesting stu-
dents making the administration
panic could be over.

The UK Coalition Against
Sweatshop Labor held a rally
April 7 to promote awareness of
sweatshop conditions and influ-
ence UK policy.

UK Assistant Athletics Di-
rector Alvis Johnson said he was
not concerned about the protests
of the students because the con.
tract with Nike addressed the is-
sue of sweatshops and stated the

sweatshop abuse.

"Before we negotiated the
contract. Coach (C.M.) Newton
had some criteria and that was
the basis for making the decision.
I think." Johnson said.

“He had several things he
considered before he made a
very. very calculated decision
to award Nike the all-school
contract, and I know part of
that had to do with the sweat-
shop issue.“

Johnson said Nike has sub-
mitted literature showing it has
increased the wage goal by 50
percent and has established a

combat child labor. among other
things.

“All I can do is take their
(Nike‘s) word that they are being
proactive in trying to remedy
some of the problems they have."
he said.

Johnson said the contract
with Nike. like those with all oth-
er suppliers. make UK‘s position
on fair anti equitable labor prac—
tice policies understood.

“Nike. our current sponsor.
has already made significant
changes in their labor practices
so far." he said. “We put them to
the test of what we expect of
them. and that's about all we
can do."

But the coalition wants
them to do more. it wants UK to
refrain from joining the Fair

coalition.

The FLA is a labor monitor
ing organization comprised of
the Apparel Industry Partner
ship and a few universities. but
Boyett said the FLA is not an ef-
fective deterrent from sweatshop
abuse.

Boyett said the FLA does
not provide full public disclo-
sure. is not accountable to uni-
versities and doesn't support
contractually-niandated third
party enforced codes.

Newton. the University’s
athletics director. said he was
not sure why the coalition
would not want UK to join the
FLA.

"We have looked at that

has all the major players in it."
Newton said, “So I don't know
why they wouldn’t want us to be
members."

l'K has not yet joined the
FLA. but membership is still a
consideration.

Newton said the University
is always open to discussion with
concerned students. and if stu:
dents are concerned about Nike
as the all-school sponsor. they
should contact the company.

"They’ll be very open about
their program and the steps that
they’ve taken.” Newton said.

"They've been very proactive
over the past five years. They've
kept us abreast. and we have

Cats claim win

Whip out the cigars: Stability on
mound and late hits stir comeback

By Michael Neppermann
ASSISTANT SPORTSDAILY EDITOR

Another late-night
game, another battle
stretching to extra in-
nings. another multi-hit,
multi-run game involv-
ing a late-inning rally.
Different outcome.

In a classic example
of goat-tumed-hero. UK
shortstop Vince Harri-
son stepped to the plate
against the Belmont Bru-
ins in the bottom of the
11th with one out and the
bases loaded and
knocked a single to cen-
terfield to drive in the
winning run for the Cats.

For the second night
in a row. UK played ex-
tra innings. only this
time the Cats were the
ones who battled back to

 

tie the game and send it
to extra frames. And
this time. the Cats were
on the winning side.

Harrison's near
“goat" status came after
an errant throw allowed
two Bruins‘ runners to
score in the second in-
ning with two outs. The
runs extended the Bruin
lead to 5-0.

“I’ve been making
bad throws all year."
Harrison said.

He could only wait
for a shot at redemption.

Thanks in part to a
solo shot by Aaron Mc-
Glone. his 10th of the
year. and a two-run
homer by Nate Linder,
his first of the year. the
Cats managed to cut the
lead to 65 going into the
ninth.

The Cats tied it in
the ninth and Harrison
got his chance in the
11th.

With men on second
and third. the Bruins in-
tentionally walked Mc-
Glone for the second
time in the game (Mc-
Glone went 3-for-4 with a
roundtripper). loading
the bases for Harrison.

Harrison was 1-for»5
at that point and said he
hoped to turn his luck
around.

“I went up there and
just tried to make the
best of it." he said.

And the best of it he
made. His single drove
in Green. capping a 7-6
win over Belmont and
ending UK's four-game
losing streak.

Besides the (Tats'
bats trimming the Bru-
ins‘ lead, pitcher Jason
Chaney made sure to
limit Belmont‘s runs.

He came on in the

fourth in relief of
starter Aaron Wilson.
who gave up seven hits
and six runs in three—
and-two-thirds innings
of work. Down (H.
Chaney pitched six in-
nings and gave up just
one hit. His longest out-
ing of the year helped
silence the talk of UK's
shaky bullpen.

"It was good to get
long innings in be
cause we (the bullpen)
haven‘t been getting a
lot of innings." Chaney
said. “This helps rest
our starters and keep
them fresh for Florida
(this weekendt."

Chaney's seven
Strikeout effort gave
UK enough time to stir
up its bats.

“I was just staying
positive on the mound
and in the dugout.“
Chaney said. ”because
in the back of my mind
I knew we could win."

 

I was

mound

Refugees say Yugoslavs attacked

WASHINGTON ~ Refugees fleeing Kosovo
told aid workers that Yugoslav helicopters and air-
planes have been attacking refugee convoys in the
Serbian province, a Pentagon official said yester-
day. The Pentagon said it had “no direct evidence”
that an attack on a convoy yesterday, in which 64
civilians were killed. was committed by the Yu-
goslavs. The Serbs claimed the convoy was hit by
NATO bombs, but Pentagon spokesman Kenneth
Bacon said NATO planes hit only military targets.

Germany offers peace plan

STRASBOURG, France —— US. officials are
calling a German plan to end the Kosovo crisis a
constructive proposal. The plan calls for a oneL

airstrikes against Serb troops until its goals of
ending attacks on ethnic Albanians are met.

Duayle to run for president

HUNTINGTON, Ind. — Former Vice Presi-

paign yesterday by pledging to restore integrity
and responsibility to the White House in 2001. He
portrayed himself as the best qualified potential
commander-in-chief, recalling his participation
in White House war councils. But Quayle is con-
sidered a long-shot for the GOP nod, behind
Texas Gov. George W. Bush and Sen. John Mc-
Cain of Arizona.

Starr opposes counsel act renewal

WASHINGTON — Kenneth Starr called yes-
terday for abolition of the independent counsel
law, surprising some Democrats and Republiv
cans who have watched him pursue President
Clinton aggressively for five years. Starr raised
concerns to the Senate Governmental Affairs
Committee about the separation of powers, and
the costs and delays of the investigations. Starr
insisted there was no conflict in his questioning
the wisdom of the law. He reiterated that he re-
tains the power to prosecute Clinton after the
president leaves office. if warranted.

Never fear, aid is here

Currently enrolled students who have missed
this month's deadline can still apply for aid

By Tom Callahan
CONTRIBUIING WRITER

There is still hope for cur-
rently enrolled students who
have missed the April 1 finan-
cial aid deadline.

Students can still apply for
the Pell Grant and for federal
direct loans, both of which do
not have deadlines.

“We have a limited pool of
money from the federal govern-
ment. and we have many more
students who meet the eligibili~
ty criteria than we have funds
available,” said Lynda George,
director of Financial Aid at UK.

“Students who haven't ap-
plied should apply as soon as
possible," George said. “At UK.
the only application required
for the assistance based on fi-
nancial need is the Free Appli-
cation for Federal Student Aid.”

Students can enhance their
chances for receiving financial
aid by applying now.

“The University offers
many excellent scholarship op‘
portunities for incoming fresh—
man, currently enrolled UK stu-
dents, and UK Community Col-
lege transfer students," said
Crystal Shepherd, who works
in the Merit Scholarship Office.

Financial aid offers grants,
loans and work opportunities to
students who are trying to meet
educational costs.

Several options are avail-
able to students seeking fi-
nancial aid.

“The Federal Work Study
Program allows students to get
a job on campus or even off
campus and the federal govern-
ment pays a portion of their
wages,” George said. “The
Perkins Loan Program is a stu-
dent loan program with an in-
terest rate of only 5 percent."

Students eligible for the
Pell Grant are also eligible for
the Supplemental Educational
Opportunity Grant Program,

which allows students to re-

month grace period after drop-

ceive an average of $1,000 in ping below half-time status for

supplemental grant funds.

Many students unaware
of bike-riding hazards

Wheeling and dealing: Spring means more
time to ride, more chances for injuries

8y Holly Young
SIAFF WRITER

Spring is in the air and
that means bike riding for UK
students.

Many, though, aren’t
aware of the hazards they pose.

“As a student walking to
class, I always feel like I am
going to get hit by someone on
a bike," said Jim Cook. an
agricultural communications
senior.

Pedestrians and cyclists
travel Rose Street heavily.

UK's bicycle regulations
say cyclists are required to op-
erate within applicable state
laws when riding on streets or
roadways.

This means cyclists are
supposed to ride with the flow
of the traffic.

One student admitted to
riding in the wrong direction.

“I used to ride in the
wrong direction (opposite of
the traffic) to see the oncoming
traffic better," said Andre

Carter, an accounting senior.
“I did it because they always
tell people who walk and run
to go in the opposite direction
of the traffic.”

But things don’t always
go smoothly with pedestrians,
either.

Another student has seen a
pedestrian get hit by a bicycle.

“The biggest problem on
Rose Street is that people will
look in the direction of the traf-
fic and then step out onto the
road in front of bikes riding in
the wrong direction," said
Justin Nissley, an engineering
freshman.

An accident on Rose oc-
curred earlier this year in
which a cyclist riding the
wrong way struck a pedestrian.

One possibility for fall se-
mester is to paint arrows on
the bike lanes telling cyclists
which direction to ride, said
Lisa Aultman-Hall, assistant
professor in the Department of
Civil Engineering.

The symbol for designated

bike lanes is a diamond. but
the federal government may
replace it.

“The new symbol my be re
placed by a bike of some sort,"
said Patrick Kass, associate di-
rector of Transportation and
Management Systems.

UK Police officials said
they will try to educate stu-
dents on the right direction to
ride their bikes, Sgt. Kevin
Grimes said.

“If an accident occurs due
to wrong-way riding, it is the
cyclist‘s fault," he said.

“If it’s flagrant, then we’re
going to issue citations in ac-
cordance with the University
regulations and state law. We
don't want to just go out there
and start citing people until we
have to.”

Bert Mullins, a hospitality
management and business
management senior, said he
has seen some pretty nasty
collisions between bikes and
cars.

“It’s not fun to see an acci-
dent, and I think giving cita-
tions to cyclists for going the
wrong way is a good idea.”

 

Doctor shedding light on
the Holocaust atrocities

By Ty Adams
DAILY TEXAN

AUSTIN, Texas — Seventy-
two-year-old Dr. Walter Meyer
surrounds himself with bright
colors. Acrylic paintings. hand
decorated tile, Mexican quilts
and stained glass windows
adorn his home in West Austin.

Meyer, the only living sur-
vivor of Ravensbruek concen-
tration camp in Germany, ex-
perienced one of the darker pe-
riods in history but says the
ordeal simply enhanced his
ability to enjoy the present
surroundings.

“That experience is re-
sponsible for who I am today,“
he said. "The colors in my
house reflect that I am still an
optimist."

Meyer’s Holocaust story
has a unique twist. though:

He is not Jewish.

"When I tell people that l
was in a camp, they automati-
cally assume I am Jewish," he
said. “Few people seem to
know that there were 14 mil-
lion killed, of many nationali—
ties. They were all considered
anti-Hitler, and that was the
common bond.“

In March 1944, while in
prison for stealing a pair of
shoes, Meyer committed trea-
son by telling a fellow inmate
he didn't want to join the army
to become “cannon fodder,“

and prison officials transport-
ed him to Ravensbruek con-
centration camp in Northern
Germany, where he was held
as a political prisoner.

At Ravensbruek, an all-
male camp located about 150
miles east of the Bergen-Belsen
concentration camp, Meyer
worked in a rock quarry along-
side Jews, Austrians, French,
Russians, Belgians, Jehovah's
Witnesses and SS deserters.

Ravensbruek was a work
camp, Meyer said, not a death
camp, and only 8 percent of the
prisoners were Jewish.

Prisoners who met the
daily work quota were given
one meal of broth and scraps
of bread. Those who didn’t
make the quota were not al-
lowed to eat.

At first, Meyer experi-
enced the terrible hunger
pangs. When these left him, he
knew something was wrong.
“When you are dying, you
don’t want to eat anymore and
you give the food away," he
said. “I had come to that point.
I knew I was dying."

He grew continually weak-
er and began to cough up
blood. A camp doctor told him
he had tuberculosis. Meyer
said he knew death was emi-
nent - by disease, starvation
or an SS bullet —— so he decided
to escape or die trying.

Meyer planned to run into
the woods while walking the

I

path to the latrine, but knew
he would have to wait for the
guards to turn their backs. On
an extremely foggy morning,
he summoned all the strength
in his wasted, 78-pound frame
and sprinted into the woods.

He ran until he lost con-
sciousness and miraculously,
he was discovered by a farmer
who nursed him, clothed him
in a soldier’s uniform and
helped him find passage back
to Duesseldorf.

Years later, even after he
moved to the United States, the
Holocaust experience contin-
ued to plague him. He
