patient's brain.

Are these young women a new
generation of doctors or
researchers?

Maybe in a few years. But
today they are all students partici-
pating in the Kentucky Young Sci-
entists Summer program (KYSS) .

Jeffries. a chemistry-biology
iunior froin (Iampbellsville Uni-
versity. Parakkat. a chemical engi~
neering junior at UK and Mar-
nim, a UK biolo senior. are
three of twelve stu ents selected
to participate in the first year of
this program.

KYSS is aimed at undergradu—
ate students froin any Kentucky
university who are women.
minorities. first-generation stu—
dents. or are from low—incoiiie
families. and is designed to stimu»
late the student's desire to go on
to graduate school.

“The prograiti‘s goal is to
develop students' interests and tal—
ents as far as research goes and
hopefully to interest them in
careers in the field." said Michael
Nitzel. dean of the graduate
school.

The students are paired with
faculty members in microbiolo-
gy. neurology. physiolo ' and
other de artments in t e sci-
ences ant essentially become lab
assistants.

Marcum,_leffries and Parakkat
all chose to be assigned to the
microbiology department and
are now at the heart of an ongo-
ing NASA study that looks into
the physiological effects of
wei htlessness on women.

Eu ene Bruce. professor of
micro iology. said the experience

the students will gain this summer
will be essential in the years to
come.

u'l'he students were involved
in the study from the beginning
so they have been exposed to all
aspects of research. from plati—
ning. to avoiding and solving
problems to the repetitiveness
that is necessary to get things
right," Bruce said.

Marcum said that is just this
experience which makes her time
as a young scientist so valuable.

“I want to have a well round-
ed education and research is
something that will always be an
option in the medical field. so it's
good for me to have this hands-
on experience,” Marcum said.

Historic zoning

new possibility

H—I zoning pending for local streets

By Jessica Coy
Iii/IIoI‘»iii—(.'ltli'f'

The signs are everywhere. ll-
] zoning is looming in the future.

If the proposal requesting
that over 40 local streets
become part of Lexington's his-
toric district is approved, hun—
dreds of people—— students.
landlords. developers and fami—
lies —will be affected.

A letter sent frotn the Lex-
ington Fayette Urban County
Government to residences in
the area that would be affected
by the change states. “It (his-
toric zone overlay) would not
change the present zoning or
use of your property. The pur-
pose of the Historic District
overlay is to give protection to
certain areas of our community
having historic or architectural
significance."

A question- and— answer let—
ter distributed by Lexmgton
Planning Services states that if
the zoning change is passed any
alterations to the outside of

about the zone change are won
ried that the new zoning will act
as a loophole to tiiake things
harder on current residents.

“Some people feel that this
will be another way to cut st .1»
dents out of the area. and oth—
ers are afraid that it will make
repairs more costly .md time
consuming." said \\'ilder.

Many don't know exactly
how the impending [one
change will affect them.

“I have seen the signs. but
didn't really know ifor how the
change would affect me or stu— "
dents in general," said Emmett
Ireland. a philosophy senior.

For this reason a hearing
will be held on _Iune 35 to dis-
cuss the proposal.

“It is important for anyone
who lives in the area not only
to come to the planning office
and pick up information
regarding the proposal. but also
to come to the hearing and
voice their concerns." said Rose

The Council on Post-sec-
ondary Education has :1 proved a
$6 million grant for U and the
University of Louisville, for sev-
eral programs that could poten-
tially launch UK among the pre-
tnier institutions of the country.

“It‘s a $4 million grant to
develop l l different programs
that have promise to be national-
ly rominent," said Lloyd Axel-
rod), Director of Public Relations
at UK.

“This will help target those
research areas that have potential
to be in the Top 20 nationally,”
he said.

The areas at UK to benefit
from the grant cover a broad
spectrum of disciplines, such as
biolo ical chemistry, material
and p ant sciences, computer sci-
ence and electrical engineering.

“These programs have either
already received national promi-
nence or show tremendous

romise in the future.” said

for Management and Budget at
UK

As part of the fundin process,
the state offers UK 3: million,

., - ““"9'l‘.""IM1--v«tw-.w>¥¢- ,._

would have $8 million to a ply
towards the improvement 0 the
selected programs.

“The state essentially has
challenged us to match them
dollar for dollar in these areas of
excellence." said Fitzgerald
Bramwell, Vice—President for
Research and Graduate Studies.

In order to match these funds,
UK would have to raise money
from other sources.

There are very specific rules
and regulations about how this
money is to be raised, he added.

“We at the university have very
carefull identified these pro-
grams at have recieved national
and international recognition,”
said Bramwell.

As a part of a multi-year
process, the faculty prioritized
the areas where they could
achieve rominence and the pro-
grams t en submitted pro sals
which were reviewed, he a ded.

“These are the startin steps
in bringing the goal of being
a top notch institution to reali-
ty,” said Bramwell.

The formal approval of the
programs takes place afterjuly l.

Offenses: “Hazing by an

physical discomfort, embarrass-
ment, harassment, or ridicule.
Such abusive activities and situa—
tions may include, but are not
limited to the following: illegal
or harmful used and/or forced
consumption of food, alcohol or
drugs; paddling in any form; cre-
ation of fatigue; personal servi-
tude and or any other activi-
ties which are not consistent
with the regulations and policies
of the University of Kentucky.”

The UK student's ri hts and

not only on the definition of haz~
ing, but also on the fact that haz-

would make the third consecu-

selected in the first round.

“l see him going between nine
and 15," said Dan lssel, Denver
Nuggets (ieneral Manager and
UK all-time scoring leader.
“Nazr will be long gone by the
time our second pick (No. 23)
comes around."

The Nuggets‘ first pick is
third overall.

ESPN SportsZone‘s Chris
Monter projected Mohammcd
going to the Milwaukee Bucks as
the ninth overall selection, a move
that Bucks' Director of Scouting
Larry l larris said is not unlikely.

“Nazr's certainly a kid that has
size," Harris said. referring to
Milwaukee’s need to shore up
their frontline. “He improved
each year at Kentucky and he can
score in the low post."

Mohammed was expected in
Milwaukee late Monday to work
out for the Bucks on Tuesday,
Harris said.

Early Monday, Mohammad
was in Philadel—
phia working out
for the 76ers’
staff. The 76ers
own the eighth
pick in the draft.

76ers Direc-
tor of Scouting y,
Tonv l)il.eo said 7
the coaches were Mohammad
pleased with what they saw.

“All the coaches liked hint.
He had a good workout," DiLco
said. “He's a little raw but has
great potential. He could be a
good NBA player if he puts his
mind to it.

“I see him oing between
seven and nine," c said.

The Orlando Magic, which
owns three picks »— 12, 13 and
l‘ — in the first round, also had
Mohammed in for a workout.
But Director of Scouting
Stephen (iiles questioned how
Mohammed's size (6-foot-l0,
245 pounds) would stack up in
the NBA.

“Is he big enough to play cen-
ter in the NBA? Giles ques-
tioned. “A lot of people question
that."

But Giles praised
Mohammed's play in college,

saving “Kentucky is the pinnacle
of college basketball; how

where he came from say a lot
about him."

One team that has no interest in
Moharnmed is the Los Angeles
Clippers, who hold the No. 1 pick.

(Ilippers' Director of Player
Personnel Jeff VVeltman said his
team will select either Arizona
guard Michael Bibby, Kansas
forward Paul Pierce or Pacific
center Michael ()lowokandi.

lsscl offered his take on the
situation: “I think Bibby will o
first, then Vancouver will take
()lowokandi and trade him or
(Bryant) Reeves later."

When asked what the
Nuggets would do with the third
pick. he responded, “\Ve’ll take
either Pierce, Raef Lafrentz,

Antawn Jamison or Vince

Mohammed possibly going

mentioned, Saint Louis guard

saw the FinarFour Most Valu-
able Player falling into the sec—
ond round.

“I hope I‘m wrong, but jeff
will probably not go in the first
round," lssel said. “I'd say he'll
go earl in the second round,

for Sheppard as he remembered
the good fortune of former
Wildcat Roderick Rhodes in last
year’s draft. Nearly every scout-
ing report projected Rhodes as a
mid—second round choice, but
Houston selected him in the first
round, 24th overall.

“Sheppard’s very athletic. His
shooting’s a little Streaky. but
good," VVeltman said. “I’d ima -
inc he'd be a second round pick
but you never know what teams
are thinking. All it takes is for
one team to like a kid.”

Sheppard did not participate in
the last pro-draft camp in Chicago.

Washington VVIzards Scouting
Director .huck Douglas said he
played well in Phoenix and that
where he is drafted should not be
afieeted.

Pride Month unites

Events bring community together

By Jessica Coy

Matthew Patton
Assistant News Editor

june is a month bursting with
every color of the rainbow. Espe-
cially for gays and lesbians flying
the rainbow flag during what is
known as Pride Month.

Pride Month originated from
parades and rallies held annually
to commemorate the 196‘)
stonewall rebellion. where gays
rioted in (ireenwich Village.
New York. to protest the treat—
ment they received from police
and other authorities.

The June 26th commemora-
tive celebrations have iven way
to what has become known as
Pride Week. or as in Lexington.
Pride Month.

In addition to events planned
for Lexington, other Kentucky
communities also held similar
events to promote pride month.

One such event was the Lex—
ington Men’s (Ihorus presenta-
tion of “Pride. Anytown. USA"
last Saturday night at the Single-
tary (Zenter.

Musical selections featured a
variety of son . from theatrical
hits such as Eduth Pacific and
Les Miserables. Sister Soul was
the special guest of the concert
and performed “For Gay genera-
tions to Come." from Coming
out. Coming Home. in a joint per—
formance with the Lexington
Men‘s Chorus.

Jeffery jones. a UK arts and
sciences advisor said events like
the Lexington men’s Chorus per-
formance provide an opportunity
for people to et together and
have fun, which is an important
part of Pride Month.

“Pride Month gives us not
only an opportunity to express
ourselves, but it also gives us a
chance to get together as a com-
munity and have a good time."

Jones said.

Most of the events scheduled
for Pride Month are sponsored
by the (iay and Lesbian support
organization. which branched off
from a UK campus organization
called the (Gay Liberation Front
in the early 1970s.

But since 1991 UK's gay stu—
dent organization, UK Lambda.
has been attempting to spread
information and provide support
to the gay community year-
round.

“Lambda is one of the oldest
gay student organizations in
Kentucky. and I really think that
it makes a difference on this
campus.”_loncs said.

Jones said that he has seen the
number of hate crimes toward
the ay community diminish
over t e years. but says that there
is still pro ess to be made.

“The iggest problem for
gays in our community is loneli-
ness. Es cially when someone is
new to t e area they might think
that there is no one for them to
turn to, but there are about thir-

including UK Lambda that pro-
vidc support and services for
gays. people iust have to find
them." jones said.

UK has even taken strides
toward becoming more diverse
and open to the gay community
by including “sexual orientation"
in their non-discrimination poli—
cies. But some students feel frus-
trated that change isn't coming
sooner.

“I hate gay bashing and
racism. It’s all the same. I’ve been
scrutinized for my sexual orien-
tation even here at UK.” said a
21—year-old male UK student
who wishes not to be identified.

doctor will he
missed by all

7?! [lie t't/Irul"

Dr. Max (firocker was a
founding party to the badly
needed Family l’ractice (:llnlt'
at the University of Kentucky
and was the youngest of three
doctors that started the clinic
in I973.

'lwentwaive years ago he
came from .i small to“ ii in
Tennessee and made his home
with us here in l.exmgton and
with UK.

()ver these years he has
been a tremendous asset to the
University and the people that
frequent the now called Ken—
tucky (Ilinic.

This man is not only a fine
doctor, but a truly caring per—

. son. He carries the old style
‘ values that are a rare and almost

endangered species in this day

‘ and time. He also has kept up

with the most modern of
changes in both medicine and
in his ability to teach the many
students that have had the prin—
legc oflearning from him.

He always takes time to
explain any and all questions to
those truly interested in learn
ing. He shares many of his own
experiences With them. This
has given each person that has
Worked with him, students of
all levels under his instruction
and patients in his care a far
better understanding of many
medical issues that most doc~
tors and instructors would not
take the time to explain.

I feel we all will carry a

piece of Dr. (Irocker with us
into our future and be very
grateful and better people for
having been lucky enough to
hai e had the benefit of his
knowledge and wisdom.

The most exceptional thing
about this man is I doubt that he
realizes how much his smile and
sincerity has meant to so many
people. He has been such a gen-
uine person that he does not
take time for selflgriitilication.

l)r. (Irocker as he leaves the
clinic has taught many people
from all walks of life many
things and humanity is the
most important in my opinion.

liach person from any area
affiliated with Dr. (Irocker can
certainly say one thing with no
reservations: Any question you
ask this man, he told you
straight, If he knew, he
explained. If he did not know,
he either knew who or where
to send you for the correct
answers and went to great
lengths to see you were prop—
erly informed.

I am thankful for the many
rood doctors that will ho eful—
ly carry on the good wor that
Dr. (Irocker has instilled in
them.

Dr. (lrocker will be a part of
the ['niversity for many years
to come. He may retire, but
the knowledge and wisdom
shall carry on forever.

Thank you Dr. Max (lrock~
er for 35 years ofexcellent ser»
vice to both the Liniversity and
many people of Lexington and
other areas of Kentucky. \Ve
will miss you greatly. but wish
you all the good things in life
with your retirement.
