W predicts the future

By Chris Markus
ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR

UK economics professors predict
another bullish market for the new
year. but not as strong as the 1999 eco»
nomic environment.

"We‘re looking at another strotig
year. but less buoyant than last year."
said Dr. Charles F. Haywood. an eco~
nomics professor at UK.

Haywood and three other UK pro-
fessors discussed their predictions for
national. state anti local economies at a
roundtable discussion held at the
Radisson Plaza Hotel yesterday.

Haywood Cites three elements of

the US. economy as reasons why the
market may not expand as readily as it
did last year.

The first is a change in internation-
al trade patterns.

"We might end up importing more
and exporting less." said Haywood.

The second element is that of com-
puter equipment and software.

"Oh boy. we saw a real surge (in
the computer and software market) in
that last year." said Haywood.

He expects the amount of money
spent on computer related products to
level off from the exponential amount
spent last year.

The final aspect of the US. market
Haywood believes may contribute to
the stilling trend of this year‘s market
is a decrease of sales III the automobile
industry. He predicted that any growth
in the automobile market won‘t stem
from companies selling more cars. but
rather from a hike III the prices of vehi-
cles.

Contrary to the general slowing of
the economy‘s growth Haywood pre-
dicts for 2000. there are some aspects of
the market that he feels may be on the
upswing.

()ne of those areas is government
spending.

Haywood described (‘ongress' ac
tions with regard to the federal budget
surplus.

“Congress is like moths around a

flame as to how they will spend it." he
said.

Dr. Mark C. Burger. an economics
professor at UK. analyzed the economic
past of Kentucky and the Lexington
area as a tool to forecast the area‘s eco»
nomic future.

Presently. Fayette county’s unern
ployment is the second lowest in the
state.

Burger said Lexington‘s unemploy
ment average will be better than the
rest of the country by the end of this
year.

Although Fayette County is ahead
of most of the state with regard to un»
employment. Burger said that there has
been a downward trend in jobs avail-
able in the government sector of em
ployment in the county.

However. the economic situation of
Kentucky. as a state. is not up to par
with all of its neighbors. Burger said
that Kentucky still lags behind ()hio.
Indiana and Tennessee in the category
of state gross domestic product.

SOUTH GRANGE. NJ. Fire broke

people and injuring 58, Screaming students

fled into bitter predawn cold. \\ itli one leap.

Four students were critically injured.
hospital and school officials said.

The blaze in sixstory Boland llall began
about 4:30 am. university spokeswoman
Lisa Grider said. It apparently started in a
third-floor lounge. pouring thick. black
smoke through the building and out of the
windows. The cause is under investigation.

After a series of false alarms last semes—
ter. many of the tnore than 600 students in
the dorm rolled over to go back to sleep
when the fire alarm rang. thinking it was
another prank.

“When people came out with black stuff
on their faces and yelling. ‘Help me! Help
mel‘ that's when reality set in." said
Vanessa Gomez. an 18-year-old freshman
from Hagerstown. Md.

False alarms occur at the University of
Kentucky. causing many UK dorm residents
to ignore fire alarms. said Garry Beach. UK
fire marshal.

“False alarms have been reduced
tremendously here in the residence halls.
but we still would have a couple of rooms oc-
cupied after an alarm goes off.“ he said.

“That is a danger of false alarms. It‘s
crying wolf.“

Resident advisors. UK police anti fire
fighters check all rooms in the event of a
fire. he said.

Essex County Prosecutor Donald C.
Campolo would not comment on what may
have caused the fire. The Bureau of Alcohol
Tobacco and Firearms was assisting in the
investigation.

The 48»year»old Seton Hall building did
not have sprinklers because it was built be-
fore they were required, the prosecutor said.

UK decided to install smoke detectors in
all residential buildings after a dorm fire at
Murray State. Beach said. The installation
project will be completed by 2002 and is
funded entirely by the University. he said.

Kentucky law mandates sprinklers in
residential buildings with four or more
floors. he said.

Witnesses said at least one student
leaped front a thirdlloor window of the
modern brick building. ()thers crawled
down corridors to stairwells Some students
had tied sheets together to climb down from
windows. but firefighters arrived in time
and rescued them by ladder. said l8-year»old
Jake Archer of Trenton. who fled from his
second-floor room.

Freshman Andrew Landers said he saw
a couple of women in a window.

“They Were screaming. and they were
trapped.“ Landers said. “They looked like
they had nowhere to go. and they were
hanging out the window because the whole
floor that they were in was filled with

NEWS EDITOR

The future merger of
America's leading Internet
company and most powerful
entertainment media have
some wondering about con-
centrated power and monop-
oly issues.

“Monopolies have to
deal with the bigger pic-
ture." said Dr. Roy Moore.
Communications and Infor—
mation Systems associate
dean for graduate studies.
“Will companies be less com-
petitive in the industry?“

The question still re-
mains and the $162 billion
merger of America Online
and Time Warner. Inc. will
wait.

“Right now." Moore
said. “the Justice Depart-
ment will have to approve it

moment-c

and make sure there won‘t
be any monopolies or anti-
trust laws against it."

But Moore did say Time
Warner. Inc. was already
regulated. to an extent. Slm-
ply because of the nature of
its industry.

“They have one of the
largest markets of cable com-
panies. which are regulated
by the FCC now." he said.

Harold Weinberg. UK
College of Law professor,
said the government will
probably be concerned with
the extent of domination.

“It has historically not
been good to have a lar e
concentration of power. e
said.

Some students think the
merger will cause monopo-
lies that are not needed in to-
day's marketplace.

"Many smaller compa»
nies are better. in my 0pm-
ion. than a few dominant
ones." said Jason Arru. a

The Student Newspaper at the University of Kentucky, Lexington

biology junior.

Many might bring up
the Microsoft monopoly is-
sue and relate it to this merg-
er. but Weinberg said it is
not that simple and the two
really are different.

“The Microsoft issue in-
volves one very large firm
that the government thinks
has market power and has
been misusing (its power)."
Weinberg said.

"The kind of issues
raised by a merger of AOL
and Time Warner is not the
same as a merger between
two companies in the same
industry (which could be
compared to the Microsoft
contraversy)." he said.

But a monopoly issue
could still apply.

“The issue here is would
other Internet companies be
able to provide access to
Titge Warner." Weinberg
sai .

Weinberg said the oppo»
site could be ati issue too: if
entertainment providers will
be able to access Internet
companies.

But after the merger. we
can orily hypothesize what
might happen next.

“It may mean that they
can keep other people out.“
Moore said. “but they might
also do worse once they get
so big."

When it all comes down
to who buys who. though.
Moore believes the merger
will be a big advantage to the
two companies.

“Internet has the means
to deliver." he said. “but not
necessarily the content."

With Time Warner's
content. AOL's interaction
with computer users and the
biggest corporate merge'r
ever. we should soon see the
outcome.

 

to Lou Gehrig's, meningitis

IRVINE. (‘alif liven itito the new mil-
lennium. there are still diseases that have no
known cause or cure.

()ne oftliem is .-\myotrophic Lateral Scle
rosis (ALS). It is a devastating neurological
disorder where motor nerve cells in the brain
and spinal cord progressively degenerate.
eventually leading to paralysis and finally
death from respiratory paralysis.

Discovered in 1869. the disorder is also
known as Lou Gehrig's disease, named for the
legendary baseball player who died from ii iii
1941.

Now researchers at the l'iiiversity ol (‘ali
fornia at Irvine (‘ollege of Medicine and in
Iii’on. France. have found evidence for a virus
as a possible cause for the disease.

“We found genetic material of a virus in
exactly the same motor nerve cells of the
spinal cord that are affected by the disease.”
said Dr. Martina Berger. a researcher now at
the college‘s Department of Medicine.

Berger conducted the sttidy
with a team of researchers at
the (‘eiitre National de Refer~
ence pour les Enterovirus in
Lyon. France. before coming to
Irvine.

The researchers used a
highly sensitive technique
called a reverse-tt'anscriptase
polymerase chain reaction.
which cati detect the presence of
viruses tising trace anioutits of
their genetic material

The genetic material they
foutid is most similar to
Bchovirus-T. an enterovirus
known to also cause meningitis.
Berger explained.

The findings provide the
best evidence to date of a possi-
ble viral cause of the disease.

"This is the first time a
virus could be localized to cells
that are actually alfected (by the
disease). atid we have a lot of
negative controls that are really
negative and our positive con-
trols of ALS patients are really
positive (for the virtisi." Berger
said.

Genetic material of the

 

virus was found in 15 of 17 eo-
ple who had died of ion
Gehri"s disease. but in only
one o 29 people who had died
frotti other causes.

In earlier studies. there had
been conflicting results. show-
ing. for example. the presence of
an enterovirus iii cells of people
not affected by the disease.

In their paper. the re-
searchers attribute this to possi»
ble cross-containination.

Berger pointed out that
there was also the problem of
getting wellvpreserved tissue.

"Iftlie tissue is not well-pre-
served. the genetic material
might be degraded before the
samples can be analyzed." Berg-
er said.

Asked whether these find-
ings mean that the virus might
actually cause the disease. Berg»
er remained cautious.

“These are really pt‘t‘llllll
nary results, We Iiave no idea if
the virus is really a cause for
(the disease) or just a side ef-
fect." Berger said.

Berger doesn't think the
virus findings will lead to a
treatment for Lou Gehrig‘s dis-
ease any time soon,

"I think there is hope. but
it's a long. long way (to goi." he

Patton offers aid
0 victims

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Gov. Paul Patton said yes-
terday he will tour storm-
wracked Owensboro and offer
some. emergency housing aid.

Kentucky Housing Corp.
which mainly makes mortgage
loans at lowetrthan-tnarket
rates to low-income people. is
opening a temporary office in
Owensboro.

The agency will make loans
for new construction and sub-
stantial rehabilitation. among
other things. Patton announced
yesterday. The field office will
be in the Green River Area I)e-
velopinent District building.
Patton said.

A storm that raked through
the Mississippi and Ohio river
valleys included a tornado that
belted Owensboro.

Barbara Cockrtim‘s voice
cracked with emotion as she re
called climbing into her bath-
tub with sotne pillows and a
flashlight just before the torna-
do hit.

“I had no tnore done that
when I felt the vibrations. the
thumping. and I knew that
something was happening." she
said outside her home Thurs-
day.

The tornado left a four-mile
path of destruction through
southern Owensboro on Moti-
day. Jan. 3. At Cockrum‘s brick
ranch on the city's far south-
west side. the twister took off
half of her roof. shattered all of
her front windows and dam—
aged two large trees in her
yard. which remained filled
with debris.

One of the few rooms left
standing was the kitchen. its
matching white appliances ex-
posed to the elements and glim-
mering oddly in the sun. Furni-
ture was everywhere. A garage
behind the house had collapsed
onto a car.

The tornado sent 15 people
to the hospital atid damaged or
destroyed tnore than 2.200
homes.

Three people remained at

()wensboro Mercy Health Sys’
tem. said Collette Carter. a hos
pital spokeswoman. Two were
listed in satisfactory condition
and one was in good condition.

Bob Carper. director of
()wensboro Municipal Utilities.
said power had been restored to
about half of the utility‘s 8.000
customers who lost their elec-
tricity because of the storm.
Two hundred ()MI' workers
and contractors were making
repairs. and the utility‘s own
business office was running on
generator power. The work will
cost the utility about $2 million.

About 500 customers of

Western Kentucky Gas (‘o. re
mained without service. said
Kevin Dobbs. operations man»
ager for the utility. Service Iiad
been restored for 9:”) customers.

According to revised fig-
ures from the city. 10] homes
were destroyed by the tornado.
57:; suffered major damage and
1.60:; received minor damage
for a total of 2.277 atfected resi.
dences.

(‘ity workers had surveyed
about 75 percent of the destruc-
tion. so those numbers were
likely to increase. (‘ity Manager
Ron Payne, said. About 3.3 busi~
nesses also were damaged.

Roger Snell. a spokesman
for the Kentucky Department of
Insurance. said adjusters and
agents were busily assessing
the damage. ()ne carrier that
insures Kentucky Wesleyan
College and the Owensboro and
Daviess County public school
districts all of which suffered
some degree of loss reported
$11 million worth of damage so
far. he said.

On Wednesday. Patton de-
clared a state of emergency for
the area and asked federal offi-
cials to declare it a disaster
area. Six teatns from the Feder»
aI Emergency Management
Agency arrived in Owensboro
on Thursday to begin assessing
the situation.
