WASHINGTON — President
Clinton acknowledged last night
that he had significantly overstat-
ed the loss in his Whitewater land
investment and promised to re-
lease late 19705 tax returns to an~
swer persistent questions on the
land deal.

The president said he expects
that special counsel Robert Fiske
will interview him and Hillary
Rodham Clinton and that they
would “cooperate with him in
any way he decides is appropri-
ate.”

And he vowed in his nationally

Children ’ 3 hospital fears
quelled at mock clinic

 

By Stettanie Gillstrap
Contributing Writer

 

Pediatric patients at UK Hospital
were given a different perspective
about hospitalization yesterday, af-
ter attending a clinic to recognize
Children and Hospitals week.
Young patients were allowed to
play the role of the “doctor." and
their physicians played “patients."
There were fake X-ray machines,
blood pressure pumps and free but-
tons declaring. “I had my blood
drawn at UK Children's Hospital."

The simulation is held to lessen
the children's fear of hospitaliza-
tion.

When asked what fears children
associate with hospital stays. Judy
Martin. a child specialist with UK
Hospital said. “It depends on the
child’s level of development.

“Children under the age of three
are afraid of abandonment by their
parents. children in pre-school are
afraid of being mutilated, pre-
teenagers usually just miss their
friends and older kids are afraid of
dying,” Martin said.

This is the third year this clinic
has been held. and it seems to be
working.

“It put’s the shoe on the other
foot,” Martin said. "it's importartt
that the children feel in control and
are allowed to express their feel-

is, of Harlan, Ky., during a clinic at UK Hospital yesterday.

ings about procedures that might
make them feel uncomfortable."

The hospital's theme this year is
“Children are not small adults.”
This theme was chosen because
UK’s pediatric unit is fast becom-
ing a children‘s hospital.

There are many special needs
children have that adults do not.
Factors range from varied equip-
ment sizes to the fact that chilrhen
have different cognitive skills than
adults.

 

“If someone told you that you
were going to be put on a stretcher
and taken down to the second floor,
you would understand,“ Martin ex-
plained. “A child might take this
comment literally and think that we
were actually going to stretch them
first."

Children and Hospital‘s week is

d by the Association for
Care of Children’s Health and is
rationally recognized

UK Registrar Randall Dahl said
he hopes students will not “ignore
the phone as a first option” when
registration for the fall semester
and summer sessions begins next
week.

In November, UK began using
the UK Voice lnfonnation Process-
ing system to allow students to reg-
ister by touch-tone phone. Howev-
er, a combination of inadequate
equipment and large numbers of
student calls led to long waits and
busy signals. The Registrar‘s Of-
fice was forced to set up emergency
terminals to register the students
who were not able to get through
on the telephone.

Dahl said he believes most of
those problems have been solved
because a number of changes have
been made over the past several
months. Although terminals will be
available this time around, Dahl
hopes the corrections will make
them unnecessary.

“We expect (the new system) is
going to be a very big improvement
over last time, and I encourage stu—
dents to use the phone again," Dahl
said.

First, the computer system has
been expanded to handle a greater
number of calls. The capacity of
the system has been increased so
that the computer will be able to
process information more quickly.

Dahl said this will mean students
will not have to spend as much
time on the telephone, freeing up
the lines for more calls.

“The system will now be able to
handle multiple transactions at a
time," Dahl said. “What had been a
bottleneck has been widened."

In addition to improved equip-
ment, the number of working lines
has been expanded by about 30 per
cent, Dahl said. Although the sys-
tem had a total of 48 lines last fall,
only about 36 were in working or-
der all the time.

The steps that a caller must go
through in order to reach the regis-
tration phase has been streamlined
as well. Dahl said it took 10 differ-
ent steps to begin registration be-

Besides the technical changes to

Farmer indicted
for sexual abuse

 

Associated Press

 

LEBANON. Ky. — A Marion
County dairy farmer has been in-
dicted on 70 sex-related charges in-
volving three family members, in-
cluding two whom he allegedly
fathered.

Marshall Hardin, 73, was indict-
ed Monday on charges of rape, in-
cest, sexual abuse and sodomy and
one count of intimidation of a wit-
ness.

He was being held in the Nelson
County jail Tuesday in lieu of
$175,000 bond.

The abuse started in 1959 and
continued until 1990, when liar-
din's youngest relative was sodom—
ized, the indictments charge.

Two of the women said Wednes-
day that they waited so long to

One claims Hardin molested her
and she became pregnant twice.

The first baby died when she was
eight months pregnant; she said she
accidentally grabbed an electric
fence, which caused an abortion.

Her second child claims Hardin
also raped her and she gave birth to
his child in 1980.

Bercaw said the

"This says their leaming what
we‘re teaching." Bercaw said, re-
ferring to the posters, which includ-

tucky residents
to the Regional Poison Control
Center in Louisville, Ky., to report
that a child had accidentally ingest-
ed a poisonous substance.

The puppet show takes at least

five students to pertain and teach-
es the basics of poison prevention.
Topics covered included the
spelling and meaning of poison and
'when and why medicine should be
taken.

But the message does not only
apply to children, said fourth-year
pharmacy student Lisa Daniels.
Parents also need to understand the
threat of poisons to children, she
said.

Pharmacy students also answered
questions and gave pamphlets to
parents about poison prevention at
the mail this week.

“Educating their parents is really
important, too" Daniels said.
“In case a child does ingest a poi-

son, they‘ve got to know what to
do.

“That‘s all that this is about —
poison prevention."

Bercaw said the poster contest
was supposed to be supported by
all 33 of Lexington's elementary
schools.

But a majority of the teachers
were too busy with preparing stu-
dents for their year-end portfolios
and were not able to participate,
Bercaw explained.

 

 

 

 

 

Group teaches youth social skills

 

By Jennifer Wieher
Staff Writer

 

For some children, interaction
with other children on the play-
ground or in the classrtxrm is a
frightening experience.

These children may not be able
to carry on a conversation with
friends or approach other children
during recess, causing them to be
labeled as shy or as outcasts.

However, a UK group was de-
veloped over a year ago to help
solve such insecurities.

The UK Social Skills Develop-
ment Program, sponsored by
UK's Psychology Department,
works with pre-tcenagers to help
them with social skills, problem
solving and other interaction dif-
ficulties.

Through 12 weekly sessions

nm by UK clinical psychology
graduate students, students are
put through different sessions and
activities to teach the children
how to get along with their peers.

Cindy Hartung, who coordi-
nates the program, conducts the
sessions with other graduate stu-
dents at the Jesse Hanis Psycho-
logical Service Center.

llartung said the children are
usually referred to the program by
local psychologists.

Participants in the program
then work with the children to
solve tasks related to such issues
as anger control, perspective tak-
ing and conversation skills.
Through role playing, mock
trials, games and activities, the
children are taught how to inter-
act with other children.

Parents and teachers measure

the improvement of the children
through checklists and evalua-
tions. The graduate students meet
with the parents twice to discuss
improvement and progress, Har-
tung said.

“Hopefully we help children
with appropriate behavior after
the program is over," she said.

Dr. Richard Milich serves as
the faculty supervisor for the pro-
gram. He said the program began
for children who were hyperac-
tive and had significant peer prob-
lems but eventually opened its
doors to other children with social
problems.

Milich said he would like to see
public schools offer this type of
program because an emphasis on
social skills in schools could help
children in their daily interaction
with peers.

“The most important thing is to
work (social skills) into the cur-
riculum," Milich said.

Sessions for two age groups,
one for 8- and 9-year-olds and
one for 10- to 12-year-olds, run
for the 12 weeks. About eight stu-
dents are placed in each group,
which consists mostly of boys.

A group for girls only will be-
gin in the fall, Milich said. A few
girls participate in each group
now. The reason for this, he said,
is “girls are less disruptive and
get less attention," he said.

There is a waiting list for the
70 spots in the program.

Hartung added that long-term
instruction would be the best pre-
vention for these children but
feels the program does help in
changing the children’s behavior.

Tobacco giant sues ABC

 

By Lauren Neergaard
Associated Press

 

WASHINGTON —— The nation‘s
largest tobacco company sued ABC
for $10 billion yesterday, accusing
the network of libel for reporting
that cigarette makers artificially
spike their products with nicotine.

The lawsuit by Philip Morris
Cos. was the industry's first volley
in the fierce battle over whether the
govemment should regulate tobac-
co products as dnigs — and comes
just one day before a congressional
hearing on the topic.

ABC's “Day One" news program
reported last month that companies
add nicotine to cigarettes in order
to hook smokers. The broadcasts

said companies make cigarettes
from reconstituted tobacco, a
cheaper method using nicotine-
poor stems and other waste, then
return nicotine to the products in a
flavoring extract.

The reports, which have since
been cited by members of Congress
and the Food and Dnig Administra-
tion, sparked “a public frenzy" that
caused stock prices to drop and
“poisoned the well" of public opin-
ion, said Murray Bring, senior vice
president of Philip Morris.

“Philip Morris does not in any
way, shape or form spike its cigar-
ettes with nicotine," he said.
“These allegations are not true.“

"ABC News stands by its report-
ing on this issue,“ responded net-
work spokesman Gary Morgen-

The lawsuit, filed yesterday in
Richmond Circuit Court in Virgin-
ia, names ABC, “Day One" report-
er John Martin and producer Walt
Bogdanich. It seeks $5 billion in
compensatory damages and $5 bil-
lion in punitive damages.

The Food and Drug Administra-
tion is considering designating nic-
otine a drug, a move that Commis-
sioner David Kessler told Congress
would probably take most tobacco
products off the market.

The decision hinges on whether
there is enough evidence that nico-
tine is addictive and that cigarette
makers manipulate its levels. Under
federal law, anything designated as
a drug must be proven safe and cf-
feetive before it ma be marketed.

Manipulating nicotine doesn‘t
just mean increasing its levels.
FDA officials say. Anti-smoking
advocates urged the FDA not to let
the libel suit impede its decision.

“The tobacco industry manipu-
lates and controls the manufacture
of cigarettes with such sophistica-
tion that they more resemble a
guided missile system than the pure
brown leaf that smokers have come
to expect," said Scott Ballin of the
Coalition on Smoking Or Health.
