Hints for the
road

Picture
perfect

Taking any Polaroids
over Spring Break?

Here are a couple of
hints for developing
process.
While you're waiting
for the image to
appear, don't touch
the picture itself.
You might leave a
sticky fingerprint
that will blemish the
picture
permanently. Also,
don't wave the
picture in the air in
an attempt to
hasten development
unless you are
bored. It doesn't
work. I have no clue
why people think
that it helps, but it
doesn't. The only
way to speed up
developing is to
warm the picture.
Pictures will
develop a little
more quickly at
room temperature
than they would in
the cold. But, if you
chose your Spring
Break destination
appropriately, you
won't have to worry
about warming the
picture up!

Off with MTV, get on ‘Liquorline’

Peer education group The Cause presents helpful, insightful
information about alcohol abuse to students before break

By Kathleen Ellison

CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The Cause put on a great show the oth-
er night at Donovan Hall. If you missed it,
there is still one more chance to catch
their performance.

The peer education group created a
spin-off of the MTV show “Loveline,” call-
ing their version “Liquorline.” The pro-
gram promotes awareness of alcohol abuse
and its impact on relationships as the fo-
cus of Safe Spring Break Week. an event
The Cause sponsors.

“Liquorline” features members of the
group as Dr. Brew, Toyota Corolla and The
Model for its panel. with other members
portraying callers with realistic problems.

The Cause member Marissa Mayfield.
a theater junior, said the group is “not
about preaching or lecturing." Mayfield
said the group wants to “make students

more aware of the decisions they make."

The call-in show format features these
decisions and debunks many myths about
alcohol. It answers questions about the dif-
ferences in female and male drinking be-
havior, including how each sex reacts to al.
cohol intake, whether or not high tolerance
is part of a person‘s trigger level and how
altitude affects your intoxication level.

The noticeable consequences of that de
cision are highlighted by the party sequence
of the program. Toyota Corolla chats with
party participants wearing signs depicting
their blood-alcohol level. Corolla then tells
the audience what stage of drunkenness the
person exhibits from legal to lethal.

The group mixes this information in
with the entertainment. The peer educa-
tors know about the realistic situations in‘
volving students and alcohol.

Cheryl "I‘uttle, UK‘s assistant dean of
students. said the peer educators went to

two retreats dealing specifically with alco-
hol and “how it interplays with relation-
ships.“

The lO-person group. eight women and
two men. was picked in November after a
selection process involving written essays
and interviews with Dean Tuttle. The stu-
dents receive a $450 scholarship per semes-
ter for their work.

“It was entertaining anti sometimes
you learned stuff," said Sarah Lucas. an
education freshmen.

Lauren Mayberry.
freshmen. agreed.

“It was very educational.“

The chance to learn something and to
win prizes are the reasons why most stu-
dents say they attended.

“Once people learned that this was a
worthy cause. keeping students safe. they
(businesses) were eager to give." Tuttle
said.

Prizes include dinner certificates for
Sawyers and the Hyatt. visits to the Lex-
ington Ice Center and Laser Quest and
haircut coupons. Everyone attending the
program gets a free Spring Break pack.

Pringle receives CIA distinction

Award, which is rarely given out, is bestowed upon former
intelligence operative, who teaches now at Patterson School

By Elizabeth Garofalo
surr wmrtn ‘

Robert Pringle is just a normal every-
day college professor — a professor skilled
in international affairs and counterintelli-
gence.

Pringle, a graduate professor in the
Patterson School, spent 15 years of his ca-
reer working for the Central Intelligence
Agency.

On Feb. 19, the CIA honored Pringle
with the Career Intelligence Medal for his
career achievements. The award was giv-
en to Pringle for his work on issues deal-
ing with Soviet politics, the KGB (the
Russian equivalent to the CIA) and coun-
terintelligence. The award took on even
more meaning, because the CIA doesn‘t
frequently reward its officers for their
work.

Though Pringle enjoyed working for

   

the CIA. he is now reaping all the rewards
ofteaching at UK.

”I like challenges and I wanted to con-
tinue teaching. and teaching at UK is a
challenge," Pringle said.

Pringle has been at the Patterson
School since 1996, when he joined as a CIA
officer-in-residence. He officially resigned
from the CIA in October of 1996 and be-
came an adjunct professor at the School.

The Patterson School conducts a grad-
uate program designed to train individu-
als for careers in diplomacy and intema-
tional relations. Pringle's real-life experi-
ences tie in well with what he teaches in
the classroom.

“You leave the class. and you know
how to apply what he taught to the real
world," said Jim Bromwich. a graduate
student at the Patterson School.

Pringle received his master‘s and doc-
torates in Russian history at the Universi-

The Student Newspaper at the Univ

ty of Virginia. He then had immediate
plans to become a teacher, but the Viet-
nam War guided him down a different ca-
reer path. Pringle served three years as a
reserve Army Officer in the United States
and the Republic of Vietnam.

In 1993. Pringle joined the CIA to con-
centrate on Russian politics and the activi
ties of the KGB. Pringle said Work in the
CIA is not as glamorous as the movies
make it out to be.

“Spy movies are to intelligence like
Donald Duck movies are to nature." said
Pringle. “The CIA requires more research
and analysis than anything else."

Pringle said anyone wishing to join
the CIA must have an ability to travel.
have a solid background in history and po
litical science. and have varied skills in
foreign languages.

Each year. the CIA appoints five of-
ficers-in-residence. to schools such as
Harvard and the University of South
Carolina. Less than one half stay on as
professors. In August of 1996. Pringle

dent Clinton praised US. troops for leading mili-
tary relief efforts in Central America in the after-
math of Hurricane Mitch. announcing humani-
tarian service medals to all forces who took part
in recovery and reconstruction missions. He said
they helped to repair a legacy of mistrust bred by
decades of US involvement in coups and civil
wars.

America the true colors of our men and women

ited with saving more than 1.000 people.

Gore: Spying by earlier administration

WASHINGTON - Vice President Al Gore.
yesterday blamed China‘s alleged theft of Ameri-

tion“ and said President Clinton had acted to fix
an “inherited" problem.

Gore was the highest-ranking US. official to
comment on the allegations since they were dis—
closed by the New York Times on Saturday. His
remarks indicated the Clinton administration is
trying to avoid criticism for the affair. which has
sparked renewed Republican attacks on US. poli-
cy toward China.

College will honor
civrl rights leader

College of Law holding banquet today in
honor of work done by Lyman T. Johnson

By Monlsh Bhotla
SIAF F WRITER

It was halfvcentury ago
when the walls of segrega-
tion came tumbling down at
UK.

Lyman T. Johnson
(1906-1997). the grandson of
a slave front Tennessee.
ushered in a new era for
blacks in Kentucky by win-
ning a decisive 1948 lawsuit
against UK. Until then, the
black student population of
the state was relegated to
classes at Kentucky State
University in Frankfort.

UK will honor the late
civil rights leader with a
presentation by the College
of Law on the actual case. as
well as its profound implica-
tions for breaking the color
barrier at UK.

“This is a celebration of
the 50th anniversary of inte-
gration of African Ameri-
cans.“ said Louise Graham.
the associate dean for Acad-
emic Affairs. “It is a kickoff
event for a yearlong series
of events." she said.

Steve Reed. a 1986 grad—
uate of UK‘s College of Law.
will be the featured speaker.
Graham said.

“(Reed) will offer his
own perception on being an
African-American student

in the late 19805." said
Robert Schwemm. dean of
the College of Law. “The
event will also include a li-
brary display on the origi-
nal case."

The event will also in-
clude brief presentations by
UK President Charles
Wethington and Nate
Brown. Student Govern-
ment Association president.

SGA established the Ly~
man T. Johnson Odyssey
Award last year in his hon-
or.

“The annual $3.000
award is given to a UK stu-
dent who closely demon-
strates the spirit of John-
son.“ said Therese Yeiser.
chair of awards and scholar-
ships for SGA.

The selection process is
currently underway. and
the recipient will be hon-
ored at the Universitywide
honors banquet in April.
Yeiser said.

Several key attendees.
such as UK's first black
graduate student and the
daughter of the second black
graduate student. will be
among those present at the
occasion. Schwemm said.

The celebration will be
held at noon today at the
courtroom in the College of

Solving the bracket blues

Visions of Thursday's action
with more insight to come

Who‘s hot: Nobody
jumps out in this re‘
gion as en fuego. but
St. John‘s closed out
its season very solid-
ly. making it to the
Big East final game.
Plus. how can you
not like a team with a player named Boot-
sy (Thornton) a guard who went for 40
against Duke in January? Maryland was
hot but a surprising loss to UNC in the
ACC semis cooled them off substantially.

Detroit won 11 of its last 12. led by Mid~
western Collegiate Conference Player of
the Year Jermaine Jackson.

Who‘s not: Indiana lost to Illinois in
the Big Ten Tournament. So did Ohio
State. The Hoosiers are 1-4 in the NCAA
Tournament in the last four years. Ohio
State hasn‘t been to the tournament in the
last four years. In fact. their conference
tournament left some question as to
whether the Big Ten really was the na-
tion’s deepest conference this year. Are
the teams all really that good. or do they
excel at mediocrity in equal amounts?
Both teams have strong backcourts. but
have overmatched frontcourts and face
difficult first round games.

Doesn’t make sense: Syracuse upset
UConn earlier this year. but lost 11 games
during the year. They have the talent to

knock out Auburn, but also have the incon-
sistency to lose by 20 to Oklahoma State.
who played themselves back in to the tour-
nament by making it to the Big 12 title
game.

Things to watch: There are potential
upsets galore in this bracket. Murray State.
Detroit and George Washington all loom as
low seeds ready to do some damage. But
does anyone have an answer for Mary-
land‘s Steve Francis and Auburn‘s Chris
Porter?

Best bet: In a bracket heavy with tal-
ented frontcourt players (Etan Thomas.
Chris Porter. Alex Sanders. Jerome Moiso.
Ron Artest) and talented guards (Michael
Redd. Scoonie Penn. Baron Davis. Erick
Barkley. Marques Maybin). one player
stands above them all: Maryland‘s Steve
Francis. He is the most talented player in
the region. and he has the ability to lead
Maryland to the Final Four. Go with the
Terps.

WEST

Who‘s hot: Lots of potent scoring com-
binations. UConn went undefeated on the
road in conference play. and its only two
losses came when key players were in-
jured. Richard Hamilton and Khalid El-
Amin are a potent one-two punch.
Arkansas finished the year strongly. going
from a team on the bubble to a team with a
No. 4 seed. and they have a one—two scoring
tandem of Kareem Reid and Pat Bradley.
New Mexico made it to the WAC finals. and
it expects center Kenny Thomas to be
ready for the weekend and team up with

Lamont Long for another one-two scoring
punch.

Who‘s not: Minnesota finished with a
subpar Big Ten record. despite having the
conference's leading scorer. Quincy Lewis.
But the Golden Gophers have no other con-
sistent scoring. which adds up to a first -
round loss. Stanford was an outside con-
tender for a No. 1 seed. but a late-season
loss to Oregon (and a pathetic offensive
showing at that) leaves doubts as to
whether it can come together again. Plus,
they've lost critical out-of-conference
games to UConn and Maryland. leaving
some doubt as to whether they can get over
the proverbial hump.

Doesn‘t make sense: If Stanford‘s Mark
Madsen is such a stud player. why doesn‘t
it look like he can't score on anything but a
dunk? He and 7-foot-2 center Tim Young
must play to their size for Stanford to be
successful.

Things to watch: Gonzaga. Siena and
Florida all have up-tempo teams. Iowa is
playing on emotion from Coach Tom Davis‘
impending retirement. This bracket could
be blown wide-open. but will probably see
one of the top three seeds make it to St. Pe-
tersburg. Outstanding point guards are the
rule (El-Amin. Arthur Lee. Ed Cota). and
no one has probably meant more to his
team than Ed Cota.

But no one can match UConn‘s depth
and quickness at all positions. A 28-2
record and No. 1 seed say what kind of
UConn team this year‘s edition is. Look for
them to give Jim Calhoun his first Final
Four appearance.

Bridging the
989

MAYSVILLE - Hopes for

more business
development are
rising along with a
$36 million bridge
being built across the
Ohio River.

The state's first cable-

stayed bridge will be
supported by a web
of 80 steel cables
and two mammoth
concrete towers.
undergirded by seven
concrete piers. The
bridge is three miles
west of Naysville.

Officials expect the

bridge to reduce
downtown traffic and
bolster the local
economy. The bridge
will offer another
route for the semi-
trucks that currently
rumble through
:owntown along U.S.
:2 and U.S. 68.
«Merino 305 feet
move the water, the
‘ee bridge will
rmnect Aentucky's
u mghway and
Inc 5 Highway 52.

o‘er .1 s finished in

August of 2000, the
bridge will be 2,420
feet long and the
two~lane concrete
roadway will be 48
feet wide.

The total price tag for

the bridge, a 3.8-mile
parkway and other
road improvements is
about $75 million.
