Zenayda Torres speaks at the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Court House Thursday on working conditions in the
Chentex factory, while Angelica Perez holds a picture of a girl in the factory being touched against her will.

In their own words: Two Nicauraguan factory workers come to
Lexington to speak about sweatshop conditions in their workplace

By Tracy Kershaw

NEWS EDITOR

In the Nicauraguan Chentex
factory where Zenayda Torres
worked for four years. it isn't
out of the ordinary to ﬁnd fetus
es in the bathroom.

Working conditions are so
bad. she said. that pregnant
worl-tr-rs niiscarry after being
forced to lift heavy packages.

Torres and her former
(Thetex coworker. Angelica
Perez. came to Lexington Thurs-
day to share the stories of their
ﬁght for better working condi-
tions at the factory. which pro-
duces apparel for the depart
ment store Kohls

[it and 'l‘ransylvania chap-
ters of ['nited Students Against
Sweatshops rallied around the
women. who sat behind sewing
machines on the court house
lawn to simulate the factory
work.

The National Labor (‘om
mittee invited the women to tour
the United States iti hopes that
their stories will encourage
Kohls to intervene at the factory

Kohls could not be reached
for comment.

Torres. aided by a transla-
tor. explained in her native
Spanish the deplorable working
conditions at the factory.

"They would scream at its.
they would hit us and when we

made a mistake oti a piece of

clothing they would throw it in
our face." she said. ”telling us
we had to repair it. but scream-
ing all the while.”

Torres said there are few
bathrooms and many poorly
stored chemicals at the factory.
The wages aren't enough to
buy milk for her family. she
said.

t‘hentex management is try-
ing to squelch the efforts of the
newly-formed workers union.
said (‘harlie Kernigan. NLf‘
director.

The union requested an
eightcentApershour wage in-
crease but Chentex denied their
request. ﬁring 700 workers who
associated with the union.

“When the workers tried to
increase their wages by the tini-
est amounts. to climb out of inis

cry and at least into poverty.
they were ﬁred." Kernigan said.

Barbara Briggs. NLi‘ repre-
sentative. said ifthe union is not
recognized. it will set a terrible
precedent.

Kernigan applauded the stu-
dents" activism for this issue.
calling L'SAS the strongest hu
man rights movement today.

Susan Roth. a biochemistry
Viunior. helped lead the rally. She
said many people still do not un»
derstand why she arid several
other UK students. as well as
students across the nations. put
themselves and their criminal
records on the line last year in
sweatshop protests.

“This is so important to us."
she said. "i might have to face
court or the administration. but
i do not have to face what these
women face everyday."

Kerniizan said the rally was
not a call for a boycott of Kohls.
but an appeal to the department
store to do the right thing.

”in the global sweatshop
economy. Kohls has lost its
moral compass. its soul and its
way." he said.

He adtlressml various issues at

"I‘ve got 18 hours of busi.

an economics senior.

The class meets twice a
week. on Wednesdays for pool
time and Fridays for class
time. Students have to study a
manual anti take quizzes prov-
ing they know the informal~
tion.

“It‘s the easiest way for a
pass/fail credit. anti it‘s the
hottest class on campus. it's al-
ways the first one filled up."
said Justin Byall. one of the
staff instructors from New
Horizons.

New Horizons is the dive
shop that supplies the equip-
ment and instructors for the
class.

The class is actually a scu»
ha certification class with the
Professional Association of
Diving Instructors. an organi~
zation that teaches safe diving
methods. Once certified with
the class. a person is certified
for life.

“Certiﬁcation opens Lip all
kinds of neat stuff you can do:
(recreational) diving. under-
water photography anti sub
mersible vehicles." said Bill
Conrad. the other staff instrue

tor.

Students have different
reasons for taking the class.
Some thought it would be an
easy A. while others have al-
ways wanted to get certiﬁed to
dive.

“I spent a summer abroad.
and a girl I went with was cer-
tiﬁed. She got to do some real-
ly neat stuff. and I wanted to
also. 1 took the class just for
fun. and to learn something
new," said Jennifer Weston. a
biology senior.

However. scuba is not all
fun and games.

Students must know the
effects of water pressure and
how it will affect their equip.
ment. Taking that first breath
underwater can be a little un—
comfortable.

“It‘s actually scarier than
i thought; it makes me ner-
vous. My ears wouldn't equal-
ize (the ﬁrst day underwater)."
Weston said.

if a student can learn the
skills anti get certified. then
the possibilities are endless
for travel anti fun.

“Many people think it’s
dangerous but it‘s really not."
Byall said. "Scuba is only dan~
gerous if you are not certiﬁed;
the risk factor to scuba is the
same as bowling. like .04 per-
cent."

The whole class is invited
to go with New Horizons on a
dive trip to the Bahamas to get
fully cert ified.

Football ticket sales
reach all-time high

Sold out: A recent boom in ticket sales has booths empty-handed
and seats full for UK football games this season, officials say

By Kristi Martin

STAFF WRITER

The UK Athletics Depart-
ment is having a record year in
football ticket sales.

"UK football ticket sales
have been sagging for several
years." said Assistant Athletics
Director Alvis Johnson. who
said he is pleased to see the up-
swing of student ticket sales
this year.

For the past several years.
the UK athletics department has
tried to raise student ticket
sales during football season.
Sales had a minimum increase
last year. but the boom in sales
came during this year‘s season.

“Sales are. much better this
year.“ Johnson said.

Almost all football games
have been sold out this season
with just the purchase of stit-
dent tickets. Johnson said the
South Carolina and Georgia
games are expected to be sell-
outs also.

in addition. Johnson said
the athletics department has
made it easier for students to
obtain tickets. Students cart
now purchase two games at
once instead of buying tickets
one game at a time. and stu—
dents are now able to buy up to
five student tickets with five
valid student IDs.

“The UK Athletics Depart»
ment wants students to come
out and enjoy the game." John
son said.

The athletics department
also sold 1.500 student season
tickets this year. a record-
breaking year for season ticket
sales. Johnson said.

Student organizations like
the UK Baptist Student Union
have also helped boost student
ticket sales this year.

"The CK Baptist Student
Union bought 95 student tickets
for group seating for the indi-
arm and South Florida games.”
said Melissa Schwartz. a nurs-

ing senior and BSU executive
council oilicer. “That is a very
high number of tickets for the
BSL’ to purchase We are glad
that students are excited about
the football program.”

Johnson said he is also
pleased to see student organiza»
tions purchasing more tickets
as a group.

Tickets are available in
Memorial Coliseum. Common-
wealth Stadium and Complex
Commons this year.

Johnson said the athletics
department is pleased with the
number of ticket sales and
hopes that the high number of
student attendance will contin-
ue for the rest of the season.

"(CK Athletics Department)
hopes that students contirtue to
enjoy l'K football this year and
years to come." Johnson said.

Ticket distribution contin-
ues this week at Memorial (‘oli
seum for the South Carolina
and Georgia games.

OPEC vows

ASSOCIATED PRESS

CARACAS. Venezuela
OPEC celebrated a new. united
front at its first summit in 25
years. calling for an internation-
al dialogue on fair oil prices and
vowing to help developing nations
compete in the global economy

Only two years after it near-
ly collapsed with the price of oil.
the cartel presented a new image
Wednesday. promising to im-
prove the environment and the
lives of the world‘s poor with
revenues from oil prices that
have hit loyear highs.

Venezuelan President Hugo
Chavez called the rebound of the
Organization of Petroleum Ex
porting Countries a "resurrec
tion." OPEC delegates eagerly
followed his lead. blaming indus-
trialized nations for high oil
prices arid the problems of the
developing world.

"What we are asking for is
justice." Chavez said at a ple‘
nary session of princes. presir
dents and sheiks.

Later. during a dinner for
()PE(‘ dignitaries. a young
woman breached the summit's
tight security anti threw an egg
at lran‘s oil minister. missing
him. a Venezuelan security otli
cial said. speaking on condition
of anonymity.

However. a senior member of
the lmnian delegation. who spoke

he would seek indictments for
the crew on murder charges.

"It is inexplicable how the
ship collided with a well
known rock that carries a light
visible from a distance of sev-
en miles."
Andreas Sirigos said. “You
have to be blind not to see it."

Survivors described a
scene of panic and chaos as
passengers tried to slip off the
