UK GIRL SCOUT GROUP ONE OF 29 IN COUNTRY

They may not sell cook-
ies. sport beanies or plaster
merit badges to their chests
like the girls did in grade
school. but one group of UK
women still goes by the
same Girl Scout honor.

They are now the lead-
ers who volunteer their
time. hosting events for
younger Girl Scouts and
helping them earn merit
badges for their own vests,

The group was estab-
lished at l'K three years
ago: it is one of only 29 cam-
pus groups at universities
around the country.

Even those who have
known the groups members
for a long time are often sur-
prised to discover that col
lege students are still in Girl
Scouts,

“When you say Girl
Scouts. everybody sees that
little Brownie girl. and
there's so much more to it."
said Robin Pearce. a jour~
nalism junior. who has been
a member since she was in
fourth grade.

Shannon Gnau, also a

campus Girl Scout. said she
has had similar experiences.

“Sometimes there are
strange reactions when I tell
people that I am in Girl
Scouts. but they usually ex-

press interest in it and want
to know more about what
we do." said Gnau. an ele»
inentary education junior.
But don't expect to see
these Girl Scouts parading

around campus in the tradi»
tional uniform.

“We try to emphasize
that uniforms aren't re
quired or hardly ever worn
by college students." said
Ericka Harney. the group's
president. "We don't wear
uniforms really. Besides. the
adult uniforms are business
type suits and business
causal attire l have most
of the uniform parts."

Girl Scouts is not mere-
ly for young girls. The [K
members said it can provide
girls with a lifetime of op-
portunities to grow person-
ally and to contribute to the
community: four girls at UK
have taken advantage of
that opportunity

The campus group's ser-
vices go beyond cookies anti
singing around campfires:

- They volunteer their
time to work with younger
Girl Scouts as they prepare
to become the future volun-
teer force behind Girl
Scouts.

. They work with local
troops and host workshops
for them to earn badges.

I'K law professor .lolm Rogers \von

conﬁrmation to a seat on a federal appeals court. nearly a
year after President Bush sent his nomination to the Senate.

Kentucky Sens. Mitch McConnell and .lim Bunning said
Friday that Rogers would make an outstanding judge on the
6th US. (‘ircuit (‘ourt of Appeals in (‘incinnati Rogers cone
ﬁrmation ﬁlls one of seven vacancies on an appeals court
that is “woefully tinderstafted.” McConnell said.

The Senate approved Rogers by a voice vote Thursday
night as it cleared away some of the backlog of judicial

nominations.

Rogers could not be reached for comment Sunday.

Allan Vestal. dean of the UK (‘ollege of Law said Rogers
would be a good addition to the appellate court. which hears
cases from Kentucky. Michigan. Ohio and Tennessee.

“His appointment is a good one. John will make a won-
derful addition to the court. He‘s very thoughtful and smart.
But he also brings an element to the court as someone who
works for a consensus I‘m sure he‘ll work toward good rela
tions with everyone connected with the court." Vestal said.

The Student Newspa

ophy but is not doctrinaire. Vestal said. “But at the same time.
I think he will be very open to creative arguments.“ he said.
"He'll just be rigorous in assessing those arguments.”

Rogers is a Phi Beta Kappa graduate from Stanford lTni-
versity and received his law degree from the University of
Michigan. He joined the UK faculty in 1978 and has taught
courses in international law. administrative law. constitution»

al law and torts.

Vestal predicted that Rogers would try to ﬁnd consensus
on the court. At UK. Rogers was known as someone who “gets
along well with and works well with people of all different

jx'rsuasions." Vestal said.

Vestal said that. in the meantime. UK will be trying to
ﬁnd Rogers replacement. “We are currently bringing people
to campus for interviews." he said.

Vestal said he hopes an offer will be extended to someone
by Mid-December and have them take over full time on .luly 1.

Rogers will become the 10th full-time judge on the court.
which is supposed to have 16 judges. a court ofﬁcial said F‘ri-
day Bush has made nominations for the other six vacancies
but the Senate has not yet taken conﬁrmation votes.

"It is surely a conﬁrmation of John's ability and also
speaks to that of the faculty here at UK as well." Vestal said.

Activism: Six UK students join over 6,000 protesters
to condemn actions of the School of the Americas

By Ben Franzini
stirrwwni rut
Six UK students drove
eight hours to the gates of
Fort Benning. Ga. where
they attended a massive rally
in protest of the School of
the Americas this weekend.
About 6,500 protesters
gathered for the 13th annual
demonstration by the School
of the Americas Watch.
which continues to protest
the Nov. 19. 1989 killings of
six Jesuit priests in El Sal-
vador. Protesters said they
demonstrate because people
responsible for the killings
were trained at the School of
the Americas. a Fort Ben-
ning-based program that was
replacml last year by a new
institute. Protesters say the
change was only cosmetic
“It's such a powerful
thing to be a member of
10.000 people standing up for
what they believe in." said
Eileen Hroomall. a classics
junior. “The idea of Ameri-
can tax dollars supporting an
institution \\l]l(‘ll train sol-
diers from Central and South
America in counter insur»
gency techniques is crazy."
The Army‘s School of
the Americas was replaced
last year by a new institution
operated by the Department
of Defense and supervised
by an independent 13-mem-
ber board that includes law~
makers. scholars. diplomats
and religious leaders.

Officials say the new

Former

school. known as the West-
ern Hemisphere Institute for
Security Cooperation. still
trains Latin American sol-
diers but also focuses on
civilian and diplomatic af-
fairs. Human rights courses
are mandatory.

The Rev. Cynthia Cain.
minister from the Unitarian
Universal Church in Lexing-
ton. attended the protest for
the fourth time this year and
has taken students with her
every year

“I think people are very
uninformed about what is
going on at the SOA." she
said. "It is truly one of the
largest conspiratorial cover-
ups of government."

Cain said that although
thousands attend the rally.
she has never seen large me—
dia networks cover it.

“People are often arrest-
ed for protesting the SOA."
(Yain said. “The more they
try to shut it down. the more
people show up.”

The weekend is made tip
of various rallies and work
shops. On Saturday. people
attended informational ses-
sions, Brooinall said.

On Sunday. everyone
gathered at the gates of Fort
Benning holding a cross with
the name of someone who
has been killed by a graduate
of the SOA written on it.
Cain said.

urges reform

Perspective: Newman Center hosts speaker
who says Church should alter view of sexuality

By Tiffani Douglas
shirt/Rota 7 l

The Catholic (‘hurch
should consider a new vision
of human sexuality in the
church and among priests.
said a former priest who
spoke at the (‘atholic
Newman Center Friday

Eugene Kennedy. now
married for 25 years. was a
priest of the Maryknoll Mis-
sionaries for 22 years

Kennedy was brought to
the Newman (‘enteiz a cam
pus (‘atholic group. by the
Newman Foundation. an or-
ganization that brings guest
speakers to talk on various
religious topics

He said the recent sex
abuse scandals must be ad
dressed

"Sex abuse in the church
has wounded more people
than it has killed." he said.

Sex abuse in churches
should be remedied by
restoring the health of the
priests. he said,

He said that the leaders
of a church must be spiritn
ally and physically healthy
to support the church. By be»
irig made to choose between
the spiritual and natural,
priests cannot be whole and
healthy. Kennedy said

“They (priests) battle
against nature and spirit.
and spirit slays nature. but

Lexin . ton

spirit suffers a great wound."
he said.

Kennedy said the church
needs to recognize that hu-
man sexuality is a basic right.

“Whole persons know hu
man sexuality is a part of life
and is healthy." Kennedy said.

Not everyone agreed
with Kennedy‘s ideas about
the priesthood and sexuality.
Doug Kennedy. a local physi-
cian. said a priest's vovvs of
celibacy are important.

"A man who can't keep
his vows as a priest 18 in no
position to lead people." Doug
Kennedy said

Doug Kennedy said the
former priest talked around
the issues

"His views are contrary
and cataclysmic of the
church." Doug Kennedy said.

Yet others agreed with
Eugene Kennedy

Newman (‘enter Founda-
tion Speakers (‘ommittee
members .ludy McLaughlin
and Barbara Whitlock said
they thought Eugene
Kennedy had important in-
sight into the priesthood.

“He has so much to say
that makes sense to us."
Mclaughlin said

Kennedy said his wish
for the future of the church
is to restore the health of the
priests and the people and to
make it ”a place where peo-
ple can feel safe and free."

Iraqi powder can penetrate U.S. suits
WASHINGTON Iraqi scientists know
how to make chemical weapons that can
penetrate military protective clothing. and
Iraq imported up to 25 metric tons last
month of a powder that is a crucial ingredi-
ent to such “dusty" weapons. Iraq told the
United Nations the powder was destined for
a pharmaceutical company that a former
weapons inspector says was ordered by Press
ideiit Saddam Hussein before the 1991 Per-
sian Gulf War to work on chemical and bio-
logical weapons. The powder. sold under the
brand name Aerosil. has particles so small
that. when coated with deadly poisons. can
pass through the tiniest gaps in protective
suits. Experts inside and outside the US
government say they are not certain Iraq

cials refused to discuss the permeability of
the niilitary‘s new suits or whether Iraq has
weapons that could pass through them. Such
information is classified. they said.
