Still lunds possible second election

By Jed Leano

Staff II 'nm-

and Aaron Sandertord
(,llmpm’ Editor

A bill to fund a possible secottd Stu—
dent Government Association election
survived an hour of heated debate to laitd
a lopsided victory last night iit the S(iA
Senate.

The Senate voted 18—] to allot the

$5,800 for a pote'ctial election to be held
later this ittoittlt.

The SUA F.|ections Board of (Ilaims
begins hearing complaints today filed
about last week‘s election. Sixteen com~
plaiitts were filed. Most pertain to iitdi—

vidual races. btit at least one seeks to
overturn the entire election. A decision is
expected as early .ts Friday.

If the board decides to overturn the
election results, it wotild be the third time
itt school history that an S(i.-\ election has
been tltrowtt out.

The S(.‘:\ Senate chose to take a
proactive role in preparing for the possi—
bility of a second election by votiitg for
the funds. The Settate hopes to avoid a
re-run of last week’s debacle, said Senator
at Large Marianne Lorensen.

Btit tlte debate on funding took ittttch
longer than ittatty expectet . The time
spent attgered (Iollege of Architecture Sen.
Les ()lson. lle sait the issue of ftiitdittg

 

 

 

was clear-cut and said Senate concerns
over election specifics were pathetic.

L(I(I Sen. Hendrick Floyd said a lot of
senators were tentative iit giving support
to the bill for fear of influencing the
board's decision. Floyd was one of two
senators who abstained front the vote.

“I'm expecting an even lower turnout
should the board overturn this election,"
Floyd said. “The turnout for this electiott,
if it even happens, will be even more
embarrassing than the first one."

Senator at Large (Iasey Buckles
agreed.
“The students don't want another

election." Buckles said. “No one showed
up for the first election, what makes you

think that they'd show tip to do tlus all
over again?"

Floyd blamed S(i.~\ for the poor results
of last week's election.

“\Ve are directly responsible for the
way the election went.“ lte said. “ By vot -
ing for this bill we are saying that we are
ttot satisfied with this election."

Graduate School Sen. .\like ’l‘ttlllltlyn
said the debate's foctts got lost iit details.

“I've seen politicking aitd rttittors like
no other in my nine years of student gov—
ernment.“ 'l‘omltlyn said. “I lell, l L‘l‘lltty
it. lit fact I rct offon it, btit we need to
get back to t te issue at hand."

Lorenseit chimed iit with a quip about
redundancy before taking aim at the sena‘

tors straddling the feitce.

“\\'e can’t sit here witlt our heads tip
our asses and itot be prepared for the posv
sibility of another election," she said.
“'l‘hat's itot tip to us to decide. But if it
does happen, we need to provide students
with the means ofdomg this right."

Senator at Large l’hil Fetgel took the
debate a step further by asking why tltc S( i\
would propose spending the saitte amount
of money on a possible seeoitd election
w hen results were so poor the first time.

“\Vhy would we try to use the satttc
amount (if money to gel tltcsc elections
going when paying them Sili wasn't
enough to get them to \voik llfc first
time?" I‘leigel said.

CATS opens

By B.J. Shacklelord
Stuff” 31th

UK recently completed renova-
tions to the (Ienter for Academic and
Tutorial Services, or (EATS, which
opened in I‘)8I to give student—ath-
letes academic support.

After eight months of construc-
tion, and removing an aging and
faulty swimming pool froin Memorial
(Loliseum, the program had a new
place to call home.

The multi-million dollar facility is
only one of I() state-of—the-art learn—
ing centers available to student-ath-
letes in the cottntry.

(EATS provides such services as a
new computer lab, tutors, a quiet
study area. as well as both personal
and career development. Also added
was a library with (JD Plus, a service
that pertnits anyone to search a huge
online database for career opportuni-
ties.

“Academics is the key," said Bob
Bradley, associate director of Athlet-
ics for Student Services.

Private donations and corporate
contributions paid for the CATS
new $2.5 million home, as well as a
SI million gift by the Ohio Casual~
ty (iroup, whose cltief executive
officer, Louren Patch, graduated
frottt UK.

“It's respectable that a Division I

ty," said track team member and

Soitte ofthe lesser—known services
provided by (IATS include a column—
nity outreach program in the areas of
“Conflict Resolution Skills." “Media

“It's all about giving back to the

Romance and nicotine
might not go together after all.

A study released by doctors
froin the United States attd
(ireece shows smoking can
have adverse affects on the
quality of sperm, and could
lead to infertility.

Three UK researchers
worked on the project, which
took almost five years to coin—
plcte. Dr. l’anyiotis Zavos, a
professor in reproductive
physiology, (Ilair llicks frottt
the animal science department
andjuan (Iorrea, a fortttcr L'K
doctoral student who now runs
an in-vitro fertilization clinic
in Sanjuan, l’tierto Rico; stud—
ied the life of sperm froitt 40
men, aged 2‘ to V), over a
period of 48 hours after inter-
C(leSC.

The results: Nonsmokers
had better sperm viability,

 

movement and concentration
than smokers, thus having a
greater chance of fertilizing an
egg.

Men who smoke have
byproducts of smoke in their
bloodstreant that filter into the
seminal plasma, the fluid that
carries the sperm dttring inter—
course, said Zavos, who coor-
dinated the study. “but
smokers' sperm was placed iit
nonsmokers‘ seminal plasma
and vice versa, sperm viability
decreased in both cases.

“It has long been estab-
lished that smoking causes
many serious health problems
including, as this study illus—
trates, impairing fertility," said

Arthur F. Ilainey, president of

the \Vasbington-based Amerb
catt Society for Reproductive
Medicine, in a news release.
“\Ve ttttist ensure this research
continues so that ttten .tnd
women do itot jeopardize their
reproductive future by smok—

n

ing.

Females have always been
discouraged froitt smoking
dtirittg pregnancy, as evi‘
denced by the warnings placed
on cigarette packs by the sur-
geon general. For sottte in-
vitro fertilization, females are
encouraged to stop smoking
three months before they go
through the program because
of a decreased fertilization
rate, said Larry Lipshultz, an
urology professor at Baylor
University in Houston.

The effects are magnified
for females because they only
produce one or two eggs a
month. Stnokin can cause
thettt to produce iad eggs that
males can't. fertilize pro )crly,
said Zavos, who has published
nearly 20 papers itt six or seven
languages on reproduction and
smoking.

Though he realizes people
have the freedom to make
their own decisions, Zavos said

he hopes this study will make
impact young people as well as
married couples to quit.

“There are 10-15 million
couples in the U.S. with infer—
tility problems that spend any-
where front $30-$40,000 to
have a baby," Zavos said.
“Smoking contributes to the
problem.

“It's gonna make people a
little bit more aware," said
Lipshultz, president-elect of
the society. “Problems with
tobacco are crossing over
into the reproductive arena,
in addition to other health
areas that have been identi-
fled."

He said fertility clinics and
doctors will consider smoking
ntore now when evaluating
married couples. Fertility doc-
tors will also run tests to exam-
inc metabolites, the break-
down products of tobacco that
could have negatively affect
sperm production.

attention of Athletic Director
C.M. Newton who awarded her as
“Coach’s “'ife of the Year" dur-
ing Tuesday night’s celebration in
Rupp Arena.

Smith also works with many
local charities. Volunteering her
time to the Museum of Culture
and Diversity, the Chrysalis
House and sitting on the boards
for the Mary Copeland Home and
the United Way make Smith a
local heroine to those in need.

Iler husband's occupation
brought Smith into the limelight.
During each of his coaching
tenures at the UK, University of
Georgia and at Tulsa University,
she has supported Tubby and her
two older sons.

As her husband’s stature grew
over the last few years —— leading
Tulsa to the NCAA Sweet Sixteen
in 1994 and 1995 and doing the
same with Georgia in 1996, pres-
sures increased tenfold with his
position at the UK. To the sur—
prise of many critics, he led the
Cats to the national championship
during his first season as head
coach. Smith was there for him
every time.

“What dedication to her fami-
ly," said Kim Raho, a communica-
tion disorders senior. “It is so
obvious that she supports and
loves her family."

“I find it amazing." said jason
Spurlock, a UK graduate. “She
carries herself superbly whether
we are winning or losing. She
never seems to let it bother her
that there are all these cameras on
her."

Asked how she would like to be
thou ht of, Smith replied, “First
of a1 . I would like to be thought
of as a good mom to my boys. I

want to be seen as a wife that sup-
ports her husband and children in
what they do. I want people to see
that I am willing to give to my
community and to get in there
and help as much as possible. My
life motto is ‘The more you give
of 'ourself, the more you get
back '"

After graduating high school,
Smith went to High Point Uni-
versity in North Carolina and
majored in human relations with a
minor in psychology. It was there
that she first met Tubby during
her freshman year.

They were introduced during
Tubby's senior year and contin-
ued a long-distance relationship
while Donna finished out the
remainder of her college studies.
Although she completed some
master's work in business, Smith
never received her master's
degree. After graduating, Donna
and Tubby were married in 1975
in Richmond.

After their marriage, the couple
moved to Great Mills, Md.,
'l‘ubby's hometown, and then
shortly thereafter, moved to Rac—
ford, N.C.

Two years after their marriage,
Donna gave birth to their first
son, ()rlando Guthrie Gibson
Smith, in 1977. Three years later,
Donna had their next son, Saul,
and then their youngest son, Brian
five years after that.

\\’ith the Smith sons now fully
grown, Donna and Tubby were
able to devote their time and ener-
gy to the I’itino-less UK \Vildcats.
\Vhen Tubby was offered the
position of men’s head coach, the
family had to make some impor-
tant decisions.

“\Ve were very happy, proud
and found it a great honor," she
said. “I lowever we had to consid—
er our family's and G.G.’s needs."

G.G. stayed behind in Georgia
to play basketball for the Bulldogs
while the rest of the family moved
to Kentucky.

After deciding to take the posi-
tion the Smith family packed up

and moved toward fame as the

They now call Lexington home.
When asked about their
depleting privacy, Smith said, “It
was like this at Tulsa and Georgia.
Tubby is really liked * he is very
person-oriented.”

Smith has proven herself to be
a great asset to the city of Lexing-

thing like a fine bottle of wine,
but it could be said just as easily
about UK’s Donovan Scholars
program.

This semester 542 students are
enrolled in the Donovan Scholars
program, which means 542 men
and women over age ()5 are
enrolled in classes at UK or at
UK-affiliated community col-
leges.

()fthe 542 participating in the
pro rain this semester, 119 take
academic courses, while the others
are enrolled in special self~cnrich-
ment classes.

Donovan Scholars pay for
books and parking permits, but
tuition and fees are paid for
through funding of the Common-
wealth of Kentucky.

The Donovan program has
existed since 1964, and is named
after Ilerman L. Donovan, UK's
fourth president.

“You are never too old to
learn" is their motto, and Arlcen
johnson, director of the program,
said their charisma and determi—
nation is remarkable and without
these special students, UK would
lack experience.

“\Vc would lose years of
experience and wisdom, which is
shared by Donovan Scholars
with younger students," she
said.

Many younger students look to

students in the Donovan program
for friendship as well as guidance,
johnson added.

“Donovan Scholars are role
models and mentors for younger
students," she said. “\Ve help
younger students begin to see
what they can really be."

Consider this: Mar ierite Dav-
enport, who receivct her degree
in educational psychology in 1989
through the Donovan program,
set a record in the process.

Remarkably, Davenport
received her degree at the age of
86, thus becoming the oldest
Donovan student to receive one.

Beside Davenport, 36 others
have received degrees: 'I‘wenty-
five bachelor’s degrees, eight inas-
ter's degrees and three doctorates
belong to the scholars.

Although both academic and
special programs exist, the special
self-enrichment program will be
highlighted this spring at the
Donovan Scholars artwork exhibit
in the Rasdall Gallery in the Stu-
dent Center.

john Cooper, an art studio stu—
dent in the Donovan academic
program, said the program is valu~
able, but he hoped more people
would enroll in it.

Cooper, a Lexington native
who served in Vietnam, cited scv—
cral reasons why fewer Donovans
are enrolling in the academic pro—

gram.

Ilc said some older students
have reservations about parking,
fitting-in with the younger stu-
dents as well as the entire concept
of going back to school after being
out for several years.

One student who seems to have
no reservations is Natalie Schick.

She retired from UK's history
department in 1990, where she
worked as an administrative assis-
tant for 23 years.

Now Schick is a foreign lan—
guage student in the Donovan
program, and said she loves the
opportunity.

“I'd always been a scholar," she
said. “I’ve liked learning and read-
ing ever since I was a child."

Schick said the Donovan pro—
gram offers her an exciting alter-
native to spend her retirement
days.

Schick also works with students
on reading two days a week at
Cassidy Elementary school on
Tates Creek Road.

“I would not like to sit home
and just do nothing," she said.

UK is a better place thanks to
the Donovan Scholars, Johnson
said, because they show aging
doesn't have to be perceived as
negative.

“Donovan Scholars give a pic-
ture ()f the enhancement of health
and wisdom with age," she said.
