Mourning: Bush joins 10,000 NASA workers at a memorial service for fallen astronauts

ASSOCIATED PRESS

SPACE CENTER. Houston
~ President Bush paid tribute
Tuesday to the shuttle Colum-
bia's seven astronauts and
rededicated the nation to space
travel. “They go in peace for
all mankind. And all mankind
is in their debt," he said.

The president joined at
least 10,000 NASA workers, ag-
ing astronauts. political lead-
ers and families of the fallen
crew for a memorial service in
a plaza outside Mission Con-
trol usually reserved for cele-
brations of space triumphs.

The shuttle broke up Sat-
urday as it was returning to
earth. In Bush‘s words: “Their
mission was almost complete.
and we lost them so close to
home."

The president met with
family members after the ser
vice. which ended with the
ringing of a Navy bell i seven
times, one for each of the de-
ceased astronauts — and a
“missing man" formation fly-
over: four T-38 NASA jets
roared above the crowd. with
one peeling away and soaring
high and out of sight.

Bush bowed his head and
first lady Laura Bush wiped
tears from her eyes as the
United States Navy Band Sea
Chanters led the crowd in
song. The words to one hymn,
“God of Our Fathers. Whose
Almighty Hand." were printed
on the back of the service's
programs. allowing the NASA
family to raise its voice in trib-
ute to “shining worlds in
splendor through the skies."

Junior Erik

UK relied on hot shooting from the perimeter and an over-
whelming first-half run to take decisive control of the game.

Junior guard Gerald Fitch had 11 points in the half. in-
cluding eight during a 1234 run over the last 7:30. Senior
guard Keith Bogans was equally hot in the ﬁrst half. shooting
6-of»11 with 15 points. The Cats were 7-of-12 from 3-point

range in the opening session.

The run culminated when junior forward Erik Daniels
made a last-second jumper in the middle of the lane. Daniels'
basket capped an 8-0 (‘at surge in the last 1:22 of the half.

The (‘ats made the most of the Gators‘ nine first-half
turnovers. UK converted 19 points off the Florida miscues.

Despite not attempting a single free throw. UK took a

45-22 lead into halftime.

"For us to come out and play the way we did and to really
handle Florida the way we did. you really don't expect that as a
coach. It was a little bit of a fluke." UK coach Tubby Smith said.

Smith said the (‘ats‘ defense. which has handcuffed oppo-
nents throughout UK‘s ll-game win streak. was again effec-
tive in stopping a powerful Florida offense

For the game. UK held the Gators to 34 percent shooting

and caused 19 turnovers.

"(Our defense) is like a snowball. like a windmill." Smith

Black History Month:

‘part of all our histories'

Why to celebrate: Organizers of event say
African-American culture is often overlooked

STAFF WRITER

When Larry Johnson was growing up in a
Lexington housing project. he was never taught
to appreciate Black History Month. He wasn‘t
aware of the role African Americans had played
in American history

"When I did get a taste of black history. it
was only about slavery.“ said Johnson. director
of the mayor's youth violence prevention pro-
gram. “I wasn‘t aware of all the incredible ac-
complishments my ancestors had been a part
of."

Faculty. students and community members
gathered Tuesday evening at the W T. Young Li-
brary to attend an event titled. “Why we cele-
brate Black History Month." The event was put
together by l'K Minority Affairs and UK Resi-
dent Life.

Johnson said because of lack of knowledge
about his race. he would often underestimate
IllIIlSt‘If. “(‘vrowing up. I didn't know I could get
an education it sounds funny but that was
my reality. This is just one of the many reasons
Afriran Americans as well as all cultures
should celebrate Black History Month." said
Johnson.

from and the role those black pioneers who
came before us have played in shaping all of our

eased with the right treat
ments.

"One step in alleviating
pain and suffering is to edu-
cate health care professionals
about proper pain treatment
and make patients aware that
they have the right to appro-
priate pain management."
Passik said. “This can help
give hope and spread the
word that people do not have
to live with pain."

When persistent pain
does not receive the proper
treatment. it can lead to de
pression. loss of function and
lost workdays. A wide range
of medical conditions can
cause persistent pain such as
arthritis. headaches and
nerve problems.

"We still all have a lot to
learn about black history."
said Johnson. “Until all eth-

Raising awareness: UK students have opportunity

to become more ‘worldly'

By Robbie Clark
ASSISTANT SCENE EDITOR

With Black History
Month in full stride begin-
ning with the month of Feb-
ruary. various UK organiza-
tions and local groups are
banding together to com-
memorate the month. praise
those responsible and cele-
brate in cultural pride.

Throughout the month
of February and the first
week of March. numerous
events will be held on or
‘near campus to raise aware-
ness about black culture and
American culture, said Ri-
cardo Nazario-Colon, the as-
sistant director of the UK
Martin Luther King Jr. Cul-
tural Center.

The UK office of
African-American Student
Affairs, UK Student Activi-

with scheduled events

ties Board. the Lexington
Arts Action Collective.
WRFL and the Black Student
Union are some of the other
groups involved.

“I hope these events
bring awareness to African-
American culture and how it
is not apart from American
culture," Nazario—Colén said.

War with Iraq inevitable:
Saddam can't be taken lightly

To the editor:

In a recent column by Andrew Grossman entitled
“Making excuses for Bush‘s policy.“ [Jan 27. pg. 6] he sug-
gests that America's “cowboy" stance against Iraq should
be avoided. Sadly. this opinion is both dangerous and
misguided.

Saddam Hussein is a threat. In the past 15 years his
rap sheet has read like that of a budding Hitler or Stalin.
He invaded Kuwait in an attempt to put a stranglehold on
the world's oil. he gassed his own people with chemical
weapons. and he openly funds and rewards Palestinian
terrorists and their suicide bombings. These are
indisputable facts.

Yet these actions are only the beginning.

Intelligence reports show Saddam has been hiding
casings for chemical weapons. has been developing a dead-
ly arsenal of VX and Sarin gases. and has even showed in-
terest in building nuclear weapons.

If inspectors cannot ﬁnd traces of weapons in Iraq. it
is only because Saddam Hussein has. on numerous previ-
ous occasions. kicked out inspectors to buy himself time.

Recently. reports show he has ordered massive trans-
fers of equipment from soon to be inspected sites. He does
this for a reason.

Of course with any war there will be casualties. But
let us not be paralyzed with guilt because we might kill
Iraqi soldiers. If soldiers defending an evil dictator are
considered innocent. then we should have never stormed
the beaches of Normandy. This is a small price to pay to
save the millions that are starving under Saddam‘s regime
and the billions that could be harmed if his regime is al-
lowed to continue.

But what of the current US. unilateralism and our
“us versus the world" approach? 0n Sept.11. America
came under attack. and now we must ﬁght for our ideals
and security. If the rest of the world does not share our
sense of urgency. that is understandable. But we should
not be held back by their cowardliness. When it comes to
national security. American foreign policy cannot be dic-
tated by the French. The last time they employed their pol-
icy of appeasement. German tanks rolled through Paris.

American foreign relations today are built upon the
very rational premise that we must protect our interests.
We seek to stop countries from acquiring weapons of
mass destruction not because we are trying to keep the
“nuclear-haves club” elite. but rather because the less
countries that have weapons of mass destruction the
better.

Nobody wants a nuclear North Korea running wild in
South Asia. We seek to build new daisy—cutters and
bunker busters not because we crave new weapons. but
rather because we seek to deter hostile nations who are
building their own weapons.

War with Iraq is inevitable. Saddam will not stop until
he dominates the world‘s oil supplies and threatens every
American security interest in the region.

If we do not strike now while we are strong. we run
the risk of going up against a nuclear armed Saddam. If
we back down from the ﬁght. we run the risk of showing
the world we are not a credible threat and hazard inviting
more terrorism. The world once before dismissed a small
dictator as non-threatening. We should all learn the lesson
from the appeasement of Hitler. We all want peace. but
paciﬁsm is not something to hide behind.

Let students make
smoking decisions

Just a few months after the Lex-
ington-Fayette Urban County Coun-
cil shelved a proposal that would
have prevented smoking in restau-
rants and bars, a state lawmaker
has proposed a bill that would ban
smoking in all university housing.

In light of the recent formation
of a committee that is considering
allowing 24-hour co-ed Visitation in
UK residence halls, the bill is a
mistake.
