Design workers get no guarantees

 

By Brian Bennett
Senior Staff Writer

 

Six employees whose positions
will be eliminated July I pleaded
with top administrators Friday to
find them new jobs — even if those
jobs are outside UK or unrelated to
their field of expertise.

'Ihe employees, all from the De-
sign and Construction Division, met
with UK President Charles Weth-
ington and Vice President for Ad-
ministration Donald Clapp Friday
to see what could be done about

finding new jobs.

“(The employees) asked if there
were some other things we could do
to assist them both outside and in-
side the University and look for
other kinds of jobs.“ (‘Iapp said.
“'lhe president simply assured them
that we would do whatever we
could in assisting them by looking
at any position that became availa-
ble."

But (‘lapp said the employees
will not be kept on the payroll after
July I, if jobs have not been found
for them. UK officials have made

From computer graphics and
guided robots to a summer employ-
ment display and scholarship draw—
ing, UK‘s College of Engineering
had plenty of activities to spark the
imagination during its open house
Saturday.

More than 30 faculty and indus-
try representatives were available to
discuss displays, demonstrations
and other research projects. includ-
ing an earthquake simulator, a scan-
ning electron microscope and cellu-
lar biocngineering lab.

Larry Profit, a freshman at Lafay-
ette High School. said he attended
the open house “to look and see in-
teresting things and how they
work."

Contests also were held among
UK students and between high
school students from across the
state.

One competition tested the
strength of model bridges. while tut-
other judged model cars powered
by mousetraps and ingenuity.

Erica Murrell, president of the
predominantly black sorority.
said the program will stress safe
sex without encouraging sexual
activity.

UK’s black women face obstacles

 

By Kyle Foster
Senior Staff Writer

 

Living in the shadow of igttor-
ance and prejudice is something
Vice Chancellor for Minority Af-
fairs Lauretta Byars said she and
most other black women Ieam to
deal with at an early age.

"I think that those are obstacles
that you learn will be there as
you‘re growing up." Byars said.
“Some people it makes them
stronger. and some. it makes them
give up."

Helping people understand their
history is one way to give blacks
the confidence to overcome the ob-
stacles. Byars said. In her own life

 

as a wife. mother and educator. she
is an example of someone who was
inspired by her ancestors and saw
the obstacles as challenges instead
of barriers.

Reading about pioneer women.
especially from Kentucky. helps
Byars accomplish her goals. “I
think. ‘Surely I can accomplish my
goals with today‘s resources.‘ "

Byers came to UK as a graduate
student because she saw it as a chal-

Ienge and stayed because she
thought she could make a greater
impact on more people through
teaching.

Iler sister left UK after one year
because of racial tension.

“I think she probably experienced
racism at its best." But Byars‘ sister
didn't give up. She joined Byars at
Morehead State University and then
followed her back to UK where
they both attended graduate school.
“She had a more successful time as
a graduate.“ Byars said.

Historically. UK has had a repu-
tation for being hostile toward
blacks.

Tracie Diamond, secretary of the
engineering student council. said
the 43rd—annual open house is “a
time to relax and have fun." Being
an engineer is “not all books,“ she
said.

Associate Dean Fred 'I’rutt said
the open house also is important be-
cause it acquaints average people
with the engineering profession.

Nichole Murphy. a student from

said keeping up with technology “is
important for the development of
our nation."

In addition to the contests and
presentations. many student organi-
zations had displays at the open

Profs: RU 486 research needed

 

By Kimberly Brown
Contributing Writer

 

The idea of chemically induced
abortions frightens some. But two
UK associate professors say it‘s im-
portant that people learn tnorc
about new medications that reduce
health risks for women.

One of those drugs is the contro-
versial French pill RU 486. fonner-
ly banned in the United States.
President Clinton lifted the ban last
month. paving the way for govem-
ment research on the medication.

The drug also has been called the
“moming-after pill" and the
“French abortion pill." However. its
correct generic name is mifepri-
stone. and its scientific name comes
from the French company. Roussel
Uclaf. which produces the drug.

“RU 486 is a drug that has less
risks to women than medications
cuniently being used (in surgical
abortionsl." said Nonnan I’edigo.
associate professor of phzu‘macolo-
gy in the (‘ollege of Medicine.

known as progesterone. he said.

Important to success Ill reproduc-
tion. progesterone increases signifi-
cantly during pregnancy When RI'
486 is taken after l'crtiIi/atton. it
blocks the progesterone and triggers
menstruation and uterine contrac-
tions. which initiates the abortion.

“RII 486 could be tiscd as .t con-
traceptive that does not require dai-
ly activity from a woman." said Mi-
chael Vemon director of
Reproductive Iindocrine Labs at
(‘entral Baptist Hospital and asso-
ciate professor of physiology at
UK.

He said using R17 486 three times
a month or after intercourse could
make RU 486 scent more like a
contraceptne thzut a method of
abortion.

'Ihcre are some differences be-
tween the traditional birth control
pill and RU 486.

When high doses of the birth con-
trol pill are taken. ovulation does
not occur and implantation cannot
take place. \‘emon said.

UK studies direct-injection chemotherapy

 

Staff reports

 

Researchers at the UK (‘ollcgc of

Medicine are studying it unique
method of giving chemotherapy
treatments to cancer patients.

The method injects cancer-
fighting drugs directly into malig-
nant brain tumors through a cathe-
ter implanted in the brain. The cath-
ctcr is connected to a refillable
reservoir under the patient‘s scalp.

Dr. Roy l’atchcll. chief of neuro-
oncology at UK Hospital. said the
method may offer hope to patients
suffering from untreatable malig-
nant gliomas. the most common
form of brain tumor in adults. For-
mer Republican National Party

chairman Lee Atwatcr died from a
malignant glioma in 1992.

“Patients with these types of tu-
mon have very few options," said
i’ztlchcll. who along with Dr. Paul
Ashton. developed the new tech—
nique. “’l‘hcsc are people for whom
additional standard therapy will not
be helpful."

When first detected. maligiuutt
gliomas usually are treated with
surgery. radiation therapy and intra-
vcnous chemotherapy. The chemo-
therapy agents. however. are itot cf-
fcctivc because they do not cross
the protective blood-brain banter in
sufficient quantities to kill the ma-
lignancy.

Most gliomas initially disappear

after conventional treatments. only
to reappear within it few months. A
person's life expectancy :tftcr diag-
nosis usually is less than one your.

The new method of trcauncnt.
which will be used initially for pil-
tlcnts with recurring tumors that ill-
rcztdy have failed CtlllVCllliOllid
treatment. is based on the hypothe-
sis that continuous infusion of
chemotherapy agents directly on the
tumor will prevent cancer cells
front replicating.

The initial study will involvc IX
patients and eventually could in-
volve more patients and institu-
tions. Patchcll estimates the project
will take five years to complete.

“Van (iogh"
Starring Jacques Duirone
A Sony Pictures (‘lassic

 

By Chip Sebastian
Staff Critic

 

Jacques l)utronc, the frenclt
actor, best known for “Sauve Qui
l’eut“ by Jean-Luc (iodard and
“'l‘richeurs" by Barbet Schroed-
er, plays the tortured anist Van
(iogh with an uncanny flare.

l)utronc brirtgs to life the tut-
ist's pleasures and pains with a
skill that tnakes him seem born
for the role.

At the szune time. the direction
of Maurice Pialet is wonderful
—- his handling of characters. his
Rococo/impressionist mood
scenes and his perfectionist set-
tings for Paris night life.

Bill at almost three hours. the
film overkills its statement.

l’ialat has been at filttunaking
for years. becoming first known
for his film, "l.'amour lixistc."
which took first prize at the 1058
Venice Film festival.

'l‘hose art professionals out
there who go to this film think‘
ing it will be a complete biogra-
phy of the artist‘s life will be left
wtutting. This film covers the last
67 days of Vatt (iogh‘s life.
when he slipped further and fur-
ther into insanity.

Van (iogh‘s doctor. (iachet, is
played by (ierard Sety. Sety adds
a reclusive. analytical. (‘arl Jung—
sort of atmosphere to ltis charac-
ter. 'l‘he eccentricity really makes
him watchable.

sion. lle Would spend his life in
self-torture. trying to bring this
vision of beauty to the canvas.

Bom on March 30, 1853. in
the Netherlands, Vim (‘iogh led
a life of pain and remorse, con-
starttly caught up in partying
and whoring and largely depen-
dent upon his brother, 'l'heo Van
(iogh. an art dealer in Paris.

Viewers who are into lush
scenes of greenery and sunshine
will love this film. (ireen fields
and vast landscapes of swirling

low sun, as well as thick colors.
make life bright zutd real.

This film also is important itt
that it is quite different from
any other Van (iogh film biog-
raphy.

Vittcettte Minnelli’s 105-1
“Lust for Life” pictured Van
(iogh as a tortured artist and his
period with Paul (iaughin. Per-
haps the most accessible Van
00in film is “Vincent and
Theo," which Robert Altman
made a few years back.

Altman's version concentrat-
ed more on Vincent's relation-
ship with Theo. 'lhis seems to
be the central kernel of Van
(iogh's life.

l-‘or those wanting a taste of
freshness. this will be the film
for you.

'lhose who are uncultured
and hate all artists arid listen to
(iilbert (ioddfticd should skip
this superbly photographed. titt-
cotnmonly directed. strongly
acted French masterwork.

“Claire of the Moon"

Starring Nicole (‘onn and 'l‘risha
Todd

A Demi Monde Production

 

By Bo List
Staff Critic

'l'risha Todd is (‘laire Jabrowski.
a popular satirist new to a small
women writers retreat. She is well-
known among her contemporaries.
particularly for her latest book
"life (‘an Ruin Your Hair."

She is. though, hardly the type to
be concerned with ruined hair; she
is messy, unkempt zutd aloof. She
appears distant frorn the rest of the
world and most certainly her fellow
writers.

lier roommate. psychotherapist
Noel Benedict (Karen 'l‘rumbo). is
very much the opposite —- tidy. up-
tight attd drawti to the ignorances of
the other writers. quite ready to en-
lighten them.

One of them is a trashy romance
novelist from the deep South. Att-
othcr is a mousy housewife with no
published works and trite inspira-
tion. Neither has a great excess of
enlightenment.

Noel also sees a challenge itt
(‘laiic. who is unwilling to compro»
tttisc. Noel can‘t stand disorder in
her life. much less their shared coir

rtoy her at every opportunity

However Noel h is a much deep-
er problem with ( l'tuit sexual tert-
sion. Noel has long been a re-
strained woman lll her relationships
and is deeply wounded by her last.
in ( laire there is possible redemp-
tion. and no one sees this tnore
clearly than head writer and Noel‘s
longtime friend Maggie. who put
them together deliberately. much to
Noel's initial chagrin.

“Never ending agony is so addic.
five." she tells Noel

Noel is riot alone iii her attrac-
tion. as (‘laire abundantly begins to
exhibit. She is tningucd by Noel‘s
lesbianism, which is a topic for the
group's discussion tnorc and itiore
as the weeks go by.

While other writers debate its
rights and wrongs. (‘laire finds tier-
self questioning Noel arid herself.
She reali/es that she is not quite as
sure of her sexual identity as she
had thought. arid she hesitantly ct-
plores herself to find answers she
never thought might esist.
