Japan delays decision on sending combat troops to Iraq

ASSOCIATED PRESS

BAGHDAD, Iraq —
Japan put off a decision
Thursday on sending troops
to Iraq, a day after the dead-
liest attack on coalition
forces since the war, and
South Korea capped its con-
tribution at 3.000 soldiers —«
new setbacks to US. hopes
for easing the pressure on its
forces.

US. troops pounded sus-
pected guerrilla targets in
the capital for a second
straight night under a new

“get-tough" campaign
against the insurgency. And
the top American adminis-
trator, L. Paul Bremer, head-
ed back to Baghdad after two
days of White House talks
with orders that Iraqis
should take more responsi-
bility for governing.

On the eve of a visit to
Tokyo by Defense Secretary
Donald H. Rumsfeld, Japan
decided the time isn't right
to send its forces to Iraq, in
dicating its deployment
might be delayed until next
year.

Japan had hoped to send
troops to Iraq to help rebuild
the country by the end of
2003, but chief Cabinet Secre-
tary Yasuo Fukuda backed
off, saying Iraq is still too un-
stable.

“Japan has said it wants
to think about the timing” of
its deployment, national se-
curity adviser Condoleezza
Rice said in Washington.
“We understand that."

South Korea also decided
to limit its contribution to
3,000 troops, President Roh
Moo-hyun announced. Den-

mark also rejected a push by
two Danish soldiers’ unions
to bolster its 410-member
force by 100 more troops.

Many countries and
agencies in Iraq, including
Spain, the Netherlands, the
United Nations and the inter-
national Red Cross, have
been reconsidering their
presence since they became
targets.

The reassessments came
a day after Wednesday's sui-
cide truck bombing at a base
for Italian forces in the
southern city of Nasiriyah

killed at least 32 people — 18
of them Italians, and wound-
ed more than 80. Officials
said several of the wounded
are not expected to survive.

Speaking to reporters
Friday en route to Asia,
Rumsfeld said countries that
decide to participate in mili-
tary operations in Iraq
should do so only if they be-
lieve it is in their own inter-
est.

“It‘s a dangerous coun-
try, it’s a violent country,”
Rumsfeld said. “It’s been a
violent country for a long

time and it very likely will
be for a long time. Certainly
people need to participate
there with their eyes open”

Bremer headed back to
Baghdad to work with Iraqis
on developing a plan to speed
up establishment of an iraqi
government.

President Bush also ex-
pressed resolve to curb the
violence against coalition
forces.

“We're going to prevail,"
he said. “We've got a good

Researchers get record grant

$6 million grant helps
College of Pharmacy
study nicotine, tobacco

By Lindsey Keith
STAFF WRITER

The College of Pharmacy
received its largest grant ever
yesterday. a $6 million grant
from the National Institutes
of Health to aid in ongoing re
search for new treatments for
nicotine addiction.

“This is an outstanding
achievement for the universi-
ty, the College of Arts and Sci-
ences and the College of
Pharmacy,” said Kenneth B.
Roberts, dean of the College
of Pharmacy.

The research is an exam-
ple of the UK studies that
could benefit people in the
state and throughout the
country, Roberts said.

Linda Dwoskin and Peter
Crooks, professors in the Col-
lege of Pharmacy, worked
with Michael Bardo, a profes-
sor of psychology. to research
new therapies for tobacco use
and nicotine addiction.

The three researchers
have worked together before
in a study of Indian tobacco
and the potential of its com-
ponents for treating drug
abusers. However, the re-
search that had previously re-
ceived a $2 million grant and
has been on going for years
will first be tested on animals.

The research team esti-
mates that it will be around
eight years before the medi-
cine can be tested for safety
on humans, and 15 years be-
fore it will be available on the
market. The researchers are
focusing on blocking the
feeling tobacco users get
when they smoke.

About 600 towels have been stolen this semester,
service meant to be ‘as easy as possible for users'

Signs are posted in the Johnson Center informing stu-
dents about a rash of missing towels.

When classes started in August, the Johnson Center
had over 1,000 hand towels, and as of Oct. 1, they had only

Johnson Center administrators discussed discontinu-
ing the service, but since the signs have gone up, the steel-

“This is a real great service for our users," said Bill
Pieratt, Johnson Center director: “It’s a shame we might
have to discontinue the hand towel service.”

Some students agreed.

Lindsay Catavolos, an integrated strategic communi-
cations junior, works out at the Johnson Center three to
five times a week and said she really appreciates the towel

“I think it’s a great service and would hate to see it

At the Johnson Center, towels are left on the counter
for the patrons’ use and are expected to be returned to the
dirty towel bin before students leave the center:

“We try to make it as easy as possible for the users,"
said Ron Lee, associate of campus recreation.

Some students said it’s easy to forget to return the

Brittany Nathanson, a physical therapy junior, said
she believes the center should have more bins set up for
dirty towels near the exits. Students may not intentional-
ly leave with a towel, she said, but a friendly little re-
minder like a bin at the door may remind people, since it’s
the last thing they see on their way out.

However, some students aren't honorable and abuse
the service, said Kathy Rose, the Johnson Center’s facility
director. They either accidentally take them from the cen-
ter or outright steal them, she said.

The center is conducting a daily count of the towels
and only three to five were missing last week, Pieratt said.

The white hand towels are bought in bulk for just
over one dollar each and restocked as needed.

Christmas program provides gifts to area children '

Jett Fichner
CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Students and faculty work
with the UK Chandler Medical
Center every Christmas to pro-
vide presents for disadvantaged
children in surrounding ele-
mentary and middle schools.

UK concentrates on ele-
mentary schools in Fayette
County while the medical cen-
ter provides for surrounding
Lexington elementary schools.

The program, “Circle of
Love." was created by the UK
faculty several years ago.

“it was a way for the staff

to give to the community out-
side of normal school work,”
said Kathy Doyle, student ID
card office manager and pro-
gram volunteer since 1989.

Doyle has been an active
volunteer for the program and
has watched it grow over the
years. she said.

In addition to faculty, stu-
dents began to help contribute
to the holiday program. Frater-
nities and sororities and other
student organizations have been
a big help to “Circle of Love."

Last year. "Circle of Love"
provided gifts to more than 650
children. Doyle said he hopes to

top those numbers this year.

“It is amazing to see how
much people are willing to give
to those who are less fortu-
nate.” he said.

Donated gifts are provided
to parents who in return give
them to their children on Christ-
mas morning. In the end the
children assume they are from
Santa Claus and the spirit of
Christmas continues on.

“The program has been
very effective,” said Sereda
Baskin, resource officer at
Booker T. Washington Elemen-
tary, who has been a part of the
program since she began work-

ing at the school resource cen‘
ter four years ago.

“Kids are not aware that
they will be receiving any gifis
until they are presented to
them on Christmas,” Baskin
said. “It is a great way for the
college to get community ser-
vice recognition while provid-
ing for such a great cause."

Gifts are kept at the stu-
dent center until they are ready
to be distributed. “It is an
amazing sight seeing all the
gifts people have donated when
it is all over.“ Doyle said.

Patton. Keman appoint committee for

FRANKFURT. Ky. r Gov. Paul Patton and Indiana Gov. Joe
Ker nan on Thursday appointed a committee to increase minor~
ity participation on a project that would build new bridges to
link the two states. “The Bridges Project is one of the nation's
largest transmutation projects. and presents exciting opportu-
nities to engage minority. women-owned and small business.
This commitment to their participation will have lasting bene-
fits for the Louisville and southern Indiana economy.“ Patton
said in a statement. The Bridges Project includes two new
bridges . one upstream from the Kennedy Bridge linking
downtown Louisville to Jeffersonville. Ind. and the other
about 8 miles upstream linking the Gene Snyder Freeway in
eastern Jefferson County to the Lee Hamilton Highway in
southern Indiana. The project is estimated at $1.9 billion. Con-

struction is expected to begin in 2007. Codell said a detailed
plan addressing ways to increase opportunities for minority
businesses is currently being developed.

Patton asks m to nit on of III
FRANKFOR’I‘. Ky. ~r Seeking to block a schedul hearing on
ethics violations. Gov. Paul Patton on Thursday asked a judge
to decide whether the law he allegedly violated is constitution-
al. A hearing on the matter was set for Friday morning before
Franklin County Circuit Judge Roger Crittenden. The gover-
nor‘s petition. filed with the court late Thursday, asks for a
judge's ruling on whether the ethics law Patton allegedly vio
lated is "void for vagueness," and whether it is constitutional.
He also asked for an injunction that would require the Execu-
tive Branch Ethics Commission. the agency that brought the
allegations to dismiss the charges. Patton's attorney. Sheryl
Snyder. said in an affidavit that if Monday's hearing is not
called off. the governor risks “irreparable damage to his repu-
tation and place in history.“ In March. the Executive Branch
Ethics Commission charged Patton with four instances of im-
properly using his mwer and influence to do favors for his for-
mer mistress. Tina Conner. In a motion filed on his behalf last
week, Patton moved to have the charges dismissed. arguing
they violated his due process rights and were based on the
ethics law‘s "vaguely worded" preamble. A d m in is t rat iv e
hearing officer David Knox on Thursday denied Patton‘s mo-
tion to dismiss the ethics charges against him. Knox said he
did not have authority to address Patton's arguments that
“amount to an attack on the facial constitutionality" of the
ethics law. That question. Knox said. should be left up to the
courts. Patton's ethics hearing is scheduled to start Monday.
Snyder said in a telephone interview that the commission
charged the governor “under the very general language" of the
ethics law. which he “didn‘t violate."

Critics of athletics off base

UK Athletics Director Mitch Barnhart has
bore the brunt of quite a lot of criticism since
coming to UK. In the past week some usual sus-
pects have hammered Barnhart because of his
salary, which will approach half a million dollars
this year. Many have berated UK because they feel
Barnhart's salary and the amount of money spent
on athletics in general indicates that the school’s
priorities are out of whack.

Whether Barnhart’s job performance justifies
his salary is a debate for another day, but to use
his salary and the emphasis on UK sports as a
springboard to hop on your soapbox and lecture
about bad priorities is ridiculous. The UK Athlet-
ic Department is a self-sufficient branch of the
university. Academic programs. teacher salaries
and research funding are not competing with the
basketball or football programs for funding be-
cause UK sports fund themselves. We are one of
the few major universities with an athletic depart-

ment that doesn’t receive money from the general
school fund. Fans who donate and buy tickets
make it possible for us to spend top dollar on our
sports administrators, coaches and programs;
they foot the bill. In fact, over the past several
years the Athletic Department has donated up-
wards of a million dollars annually to the school’s
general academic fund.

Instead of criticizing our Athletic Depart-
ment’s ability to recruit top employees by offering
competitive salaries and great facilities, detrac-
tors should be thanking the department for all it’s
done for UK. Our sports tradition is one of the
main reasons we’re on the national map. It’s a big
draw for high quality students and teachers and
has provided millions of dollars both directly and
indirectly for the general academic fund.

Critics are way off base when suggesting that
the salary of our AD. and the public’s financial
support of athletics are a black mark for UK.

Student vote needed to oust Bush in ‘04

I n
less than
a year. the
American
p e o p l e
will go to
the polls
and vote
for their
local offi»
c i a l s .

their state [flag-i

senators.

their Con eu.5t
gmssjona] mm CDLUIIISI
represenv

tatives. possibly for a US. Sen-
ator and. oh yeah. for the
president.

Historical analyses of
elections have proven time
and time again that people
like to get out and vote for a
presidential nominee. even
when they don't care about
other offices. Every election
cycle. without fail, candidates
and their supporters claim
that this time it matters. ()n
the last two occasions. Amerir
cans shrugged. nonchalantly
reelecting Bill Clinton and
laughing at Bush. Gore jokes;
they're ready this time. How-
ever. the young people need to
do their part. and vote in
greater numbers than they
ever have before.

Once the Democratic Par-
ty circles the wagons after

Boston Americans will have
several months to decide on
their next leader. The power-
ful reelection machine of
President George W. Bush is
counting on the continued ap
athy and disillusionment of
young people in order to win
a second term.

To be blunt. there is noth~
ing that this president can of»
fer you in 2004. If you bother
to tune in to the somewhat
ridiculous flag-smothering
Republican National Conven—
tion (Live from New York).
you will doubtless hear the
same tired arguments and the
same tired ideology Bush will
spend roughly $200 million in
attempt to bury the opposite
point of view.

In 2000. the relative puri<
ty of Al Gore and the remark-
able state of America forced
the Bush team to disdain cer-
tain tactics and arguments for
fear of ridicule; that will not
be the case this time.

The Republican Party
(and several Democrats. in-
cluding Sen. Zell Miller) will
make the argument that De-
mocrats cannot be trusted on
issues of national security. Do
not buy their assertion that
Democrats cannot protect the
American people. that they
don't have the intestinal forti-
tude to create Patriot Acts

amongst other things. Repub
licans will play their trump
card: Democrats are raising
your taxes again. $2.5 trillion
strong.

This is also a hugely im-
portant election for another
reason: the US. Supreme
Court has remained constant
since 1994. what do you think
the odds are that the same
nine will be there in January
of 2009? Slim to none, and as
Dan Rather might say. slim
just lefl town.

If students turn out in
substantially increased num-
bers next fall, the moderate-
conservative court might
change immeasurably in a
few years. making for a far
more progressive nation. The
Right knows this and will go
to the wall to keep President
Bush. and to siphon off cru-
cial US. Senate seats to pre-
vent future Democratic fili-
busters on judicial nominees.

President Bush hasn't
used his veto power once, a r
