SG memorial to honor UK students who died

Student Government is holding a
contest to design a memorial for stus
dents who have died during their time
at UK.

The contest was an idea that the
50 University Relations ('abinet had
last year. The memorial would be a
way to bring the university communi-
ty together. said Executive (‘abinet
Secretary Madison Young.

“it will be space where students

and families cart mourn and cele~
brate life." she said. “It‘s a good
way to bring the LR campus togeths
er."

The contest is open to all l'K stu-
dents. Young said it is important for
the memorial to be designed by a stus
dent

“The students represent the best
interest of the university." she said.
"This memorial needs to represent
17K and how we want to remember
those we have lost."

The cabinet researched memorials

that other schools have built. such as
those at Virginia Tech and Florida
State. S(i President Nick Phelps said
most of these schools‘ memorials
cante after a tragedy. htit S(i officials
didn‘t think they should wait to build
a UK memorial.

“We didn't want to wait on a
tragedy." Phelps said "W~ want to rev
member those lost as individuals on
camptis and that we are a family
here.”

Phelps said he hopes that the
memorial can be a site for an annual

service to remember all l'K students
who died while in college

“Each year we can have a cerer
mony to read the names of those lost
in the past year." Phelps said. “It will
represent every single Wildcat that
we've lost."

SG doesn't know how much mon»
ey to set aside for the memorial be-
cause the design will determine the
cost. Young said.

"Funding depends on the type of

I THE HISTORY or A Hour MONTH

According to Islamic tradition, Ramadan is the month Allah revealed the Muslim holy book, the
Ouran, to the prophet Muhammad.

The ninth month of the Islamic year, Ramadan IS the holiest month of the Muslim calendar. Dur~
ing Ramadan, Muslims fast from sunrise to sundown and abstain from cursing, lying and other "im-
pure" thoughts and actions.

Because it is based on the cycles of the moon, Ramadan starts on a different day every year.
This year, Ramadan started Sept. 13 and will and either Oct. 12 or Oct. 13, depending on the cycles
of the moon. Since Ramadan IS a lunar month and not a regular calendar month, it begins about it
days earlier each year. That means that during a Muslim‘s life, Ramadan will occur during both sum»
mer months, when days are longer, and winter months, when they're shorter.

At the beginning of each day of Ramadan, all able Muslims say the first of five daily prayers and
eat before dawn. They participate in a fast called ”sawm" during the day, eating only after sunset.
During Ramadan, Muslims are encouraged to focus on their faith and the teachings of the Ouran.
Sunni Muslims often recite the entire Ouran through "tarawih," special prayers in mosques reciting
a section of the Ouran every night of the month.

Each year, Ramadan ends with the holiday Eid ul—Fitr, which means "the festival of the breaking
of the fast" and is often celebrated with communal prayers and feasts.

Ask most students what
month it is and they‘ll tell you
it's October — but some might
say it's Ramadan.

Ramadan is the holiest
month of the Islamic calendar
— and for Muslim UK students.
it is a time for both private reli»
gious observance and public
charity.

“Ramadan has a number of
purposes. the first of which is
gratefulness to God." said man—
agement and Islamic studies
sophomore Matt Longacre.
“You become more aware of
what you've been given: you
become more aware of pover-
ty."

"You (also) become more
aware of hunger." he said.

Ramadan is the ninth month
of the Islamic year. when Mus—
lims fast from sunrise to sun—
down and abstain from both
cursing and unclean thoughts.
This year. Ramadan started
Sept. 13 and will last through
Oct. 12 or Oct. 13. depending
on when the new moon first ap—
pears.

“Basically just stay pure."
said psychology senior Naorin
Motalib. "It's a purification
timef

“Obviously. everyone‘s not
peachy-perfect." she said. “but
we all try."

After sunset. Muslims break
the daytime fast. “sawm.” with
prayer and food. Breaking fast.
and Ramadan as a whole. is a
good way for family and friends

RAMADAN

Continued from page 3

to come together. said family
studies senior Fatimah Shalash.

"I think people think be—
cause it‘s fasting. it's a sober
month. a somber month.” Sha-
lst‘h said. "It's not."

Motalib said when she tries
to explain Ramadan to noti-
Muslims. she often compares it
to Christmas.

"It almost feels like (‘hrist-
mas every day. with family and
friends." she said.

While there are UK students
who are uninfonned about Mus-
lims and Ramadan. Motalib said
most people are open-minded.

People are often reluctant to
ask Muslims about their reli-
gious beliefs. Shalash said.

"Most people are shy about
asking about the scarf." said said.

Longacre said that he has
spoken to English I04 classes
this semester and found many
students who don‘t know what
Ramadan is.

“About a billion people
(practice lslam). and the general
lack of knowledge is just shock-
ing." Longacre said.

Cats go scratching upthe wrongtree

9mm Kim
McClatchy Newspapers

FRESNO. Calif. Cats might make
you feel all warm and fuzzy inside when
they cuddle in your lap and purr. But when
they start attacking your sofa. your thoughts
may not be so kind.

Scratching is natural for cats. But in—
doors. that basic tendency can cause hayoc
for you and your home. At least you hayc
some options for encouraging your cat to
scratch where it w ill be harmless.

Scratching 1s Useful for cats for \C\t‘l'cll
reasons. They do it to mark their territory
with both yisiblc and scent markers. and to
sharpen their claw s.

What felines like to scratch depends on
the cat. "It's dll indiyidual cat thing."
Mark Namplc. .i \eterin.ir'i.iii with the (en
tral (‘aliforniti Society for the l’reyention of
Cruelty to Animals in southwest l‘t‘csltli.
(‘alif "Some like liort/onlal surfaces. yci‘ti
cal surfaces or both."

But the material on the surface often has
tcyturc. says Ramona 'lurncr. .i yctei‘inariau
at the [resins ('at Hospital in l'rcsno

Namplc agrees. (‘ats typically like “u
regular surfaces that they can get their grip
on. such as teyturcd w .ill coycrings. furni»
ture. carpeting and wood surfaces that are
like trees."

\Natch your cat to see what materials he
likes to scratch and then look for structures
with similar tcytures. adyiscs a handout by

lianfield. The Pet Hospital. If the cat likes to
claw on things \crtitaily'. try scratching
posts. Rubbing catnip on the surface of the
post can entice your cat to use ll.

"Most cars will start scratching the area
you applied the catnip to to release the
odor more." says Ld Loebach. a \cterinarian
and quality assurance medical adyiser at
Banticld. The Pet Hospital. in Portland. Ore.
He adds that young kittens aren't usually af-
fected by catnip until later in life.

He also suggests you try a scratching
post with materials that aren't found any-
where else in the house. That way. if the cat
wants to get his claws in that texture. he
would be draw ti back to that scratching post.

ll your cat likes to scratch hori/ontally.

scratcli pads also are an option.

These can haye ytu'ious materials. such as
corrugated cardboard. and may include catnip.

Besides providing an alternate location
to scratch. you cart make the sofa and other
areas you don't want your cat to attack less
attractive. You cart use double—sided sticky
tape or sandpaper on the spots favored for
scratching.

They don‘t like the rough feeling of the
sandpaper. Loebach says. As for the tape. "I
think it just feels weird to them."

Other things you can try incltidc squin-
nig them with water or shaking a can with
marbles. Turner says. (‘ats don‘t find the
shot of w atcr or the sound appealing.

You also can try nail covers. such as the
\irin caps by Soft Paws. "You apply them
with nail glue. and they go oycr the claws.
When they scratch. they don‘t do any darn
age." she says.

Another option includes trimming the
nails. "They really do de\elop sharp points
on their nails." Nample says. “You can trim
off that tip. and it makes a huge difference
on their ability to hook into things or any
surface.

“It won‘t curtail their actiy ities. btit there
will be less damage due to the nails."

Another option is declaw'ing your cat. say s
Turner. who performs surgical laser declaw »
ing. But it‘s often done only as a last resort.

"lt‘s surgery. so there‘s always some risk
of a bad reaction to anesthesia." she says.
“Also. there is some pain inyolyed. but we
have really eyccllcnt pain management."
