A college student normally
does not think about growing old
and suffering from Alzheimer’s.
At the Sanders-Brown Center on
Aging, that is exactly what
William Markesbery studies.

He has worked at UK for 23 years
as a researcher in the ﬁeld of neu—

hand, talking to them, becoming
their friends, and watching them
deteriorate,” he said. “At the same
time, it also becomes a stimulus to
make me work harder to find a
cure.”

He usually meets his patients
on the onset of the disease, before
it really takes effect. Gradually he
and the patient become friends

When most fraternities were thinking about rush
and new pledges this year, Beta Theta Pi social fra—
ternity was thinking about boxes and moving vans.

The fraternity, whose house was located at 212 E.
IVIaxwell St., was infonned in the middle ofJuly that
they were in violation of Lexington zoning laws.
Kathy Pratt, councilwoman for the Aylesford Neigh—
borhood Association, says off-campus houses are not
zoned for fraternity and sorority houses.

“A fraternity or sorority can not go anywhere off—
campus until they appear before a Board of Adjust-
ment,” Pratt said. “Anyone who moved to a new
location (off-campus) would have had to go through
this. It is an illegal procedure without it.”

the house as a fraternity house until an Aylesford

UK student Alison Crabtree
woke about 7 a.m. Monday, ate
breakfast about 8 a.m., met with
the President of the United States
at 10 a.m. shar and was back in
Lexington andP asleep by mid-
night.

Crabtree was one of 10 college
students from around the country
who met with President Clinton
for a roundtable discussion at the
University of Southern Illinois in
Carbondale.

“I wasn't nervous or anythin ,”
she said. Clinton was quite “a f -
ble,” and put even the most ner—
vous students at ease shortly into
the hour-long discussion concern~
ing proposals to make federal stu—
dent loans more expensive.

Clinton delivered a much-pub-
licized speech immediately after
his meeting with the college stu-
dents. He called the mostly-
Republican roposals to increase
student aid ees a “nightmare" for
the future of college students.

Republicans countered that he
was using a cheap political trick to
scare students.

Crabtree sat next to the presi—
dent durin the interview and was
photographed by the Associated
Press eering over Clinton‘s right
shoul er.

The photograph was published
in newspa ers across the country,
from the ferington Herald—Leader
to the front page of the W'arhing-
ton Port, Crabtree said.

But the behind—the—scencs
work that accompanies a presiden—
tial visit intrigued her the most,

she said.

Her name was given to the
White House because of her work
with the National Association of
Students for Higher Education,
she said. She is NASHE's execu-
tive director for external affairs.

She was interviewed three or
four times last week by members
of Clinton's domestic policy staff
and the U.S. Department of Edu—
cation before being selected on
Thursday night.

\‘Vhite House officials released
the information and Crabtree was
interviewed by two local television
stations before boarding a plane
for Carbondale Sunday night.

Overspemling
means cuts
for tutoring

By Alison Kight

Senior Staff H’riier

()verspending on the part of last year's Student
Government Association's executive branch has
led to an alternative approach for this year's tutor—
ing service.

Executive Director of Academic Affairs Bran-
don Voelker said SGA would be scaling back the
number of hours students can use the free pro—
gram from five to three because the tutoring pro-
gram went over bud et last year.

“We feel that (t ree hours) is still an ample
amount of time," Voelker said. “We asked sotne of
our tutors if they felt the cutbacks would hurt the
service. and they said it
wouldn't suffer."

Heath Watson, this
year's comptroller, said
last year’s SGA adminis-
tration spent ap roxi-
mately $9,000 (lbllars
more than the $12,000
they were allocated for the
tutoring program.

The $9,000 comes out

“This year we’ll keep
track of everything sepa-
rately, and we’ll know exactly how much has been
spent and what it has been spent on,” Watson said.
In addition to the tutorin , SGA has organized
more group review sessions Igr Chemistry 105 and
Math 109 because ofthe success of the sessions last
semester and during the eight—week intersession.
“W'e're trying to maximize the student dollar,"
Voelker said. “So far this year, the demand has
been greater for tutors than what we are able to
supply, so the only way to keep up with the
demand is with some collaboration.”
\Vatson said he thought the group review ses-
sions were a good idea because it was necessary to
‘, help the greater majority of students. .
\ “We recognize the need for the tutoring ser—
vice," \Vatson said. “I know these tutors are doing
a great service, for a fee (of $6 an hour) which is by

far lower than what tutors normally charge."

The company that markets Limestone beer is
suing a brewpub going Lip near downtown.

The dispute is over the microbreweries’ names.

ery Inc.

Lexington Brewing wants the (Zity Brewery to
change its name.

“\Ve just want to make sure there‘s no confu—
sion," Lexington Brewing co-owncr \\'illiam
Ambrose said Monday.

Ambrose said he has received “numerous" tele—

tomers who meant to call the City Brewery.

Lexington Brewing was incorporated in july

CAMPUS Paducah nets Patton's vote

PADUCAH, Ky. _ Paul Patton said yesterday
Paducah should be the home of a four—year engi-
neering degree program for westernmost Ken—
tucky.

The Democratic gubernatorial nominee said it
should be a “cooperative" program. dewloped by
nearby Murray State University and ['K.

He said the raising of $8 million by local
boosters for an engineering building at the com—
munity college was a deciding factor.

The issue ofengineering education in thelack~
son Purchase, and who should provide II, has
been a point of increasingly bitter contention
between Murray State and LR.

Murray State, ~10 miles south of Paducah, has
an engineering technology program. It wants to
improve the existing program or join with the
University of Louisville to offer an engineering
bachelor’s degree.

UK and the community college want a four—
year en rineering program in I’aducah. (Loriitnir
nity col eges ordinarily offer two-year degrees.

Patton’s opponent, Republican Larry liorgy,
has not taken sides. He said approval of new uni~
versity programs is the role ofthe state Council
on Higher Education.

NATION Teenage not use doubled
\VASHINGTON — .VIarijuana use among

teenagers has nearly doubled since 1992, even as
adults' use of all illegal drugs leveled off, the gov-
ernment announced yesterday.

Some 13.3 million people used illegal drugs
last year, up from 11.7 million in 1993 and 11.4
million in 1992, said the 1994 National Housee
hold Survey on Drug Abuse. The increases were
not considered statistically significant.

At the same time, 1.8 million teenagers used
illegal drugs last year A, the vast majority mari—
juana, which the government survey says is on the
rise among young people after 1 i years of decline

About 7.3 percent of teens .,_ 1.5 million ages

m Women say war rapes criminal

BEIJING — Of all war's ugliness. rape is a
special horror — and the U..\'. women's confer
ence is crying out against it. (Ionferees agreed
yesterday that combatants who rape women are
war criminals and should be hunted down.

The call to governments to investigate and
punish those responsible for rape in wartime was
among measures adopted by a committee drafting
a Platfortn for Action to achieve equality for
women.

“Gross human rights violations and policies of
ethnic cleansing in war—torn and occupied areas
continue to be carried out," said the newly
approved para traph. “Civilian victims, mostly
women and chi dren, often outnumber casualties
among combatants."

In the last hurdle before final approval of the
platform, delegates from 189 countries adopted
large sections of the document by consensus at a
sometimes heated meeting. The same countries
will give final approval to the platform during a
plenary session Friday that will end the 13-iay
Fourth \Vorld Conference on Women.

Portions of text approved by the drafting coin-
mittee call for governments to shift funds from
defense to economic development, alleviate the
increasing poverty of women, and, along with
companies, put more women In top positions.

Anti-abortion group lorms atlill

By Robin Kidd

(.‘ontrtlm ting Writer

In looking over the lists of
clubs and activities at UK to
become involved in, \Vendy
Devins noticed one area of inter-
est was missing.

Before this semester, there
were no active anti—abortion orga-
nizations on campus.

Devins, an undeclared sopho-
more, decided to begin a chapter
of Kentucky Youth for Life on
campus.

According to KYFL’s mission
statement, the statewide organiza—
tion is working to “instill in Ken-
tucky a basic respect for human
life."

The group stresses the value
of human life from the moment of

conception through natural death.

Devins thought that it was
important to have an organization
where students can peacefully
counter the abortion rights mes-
sage of some other groups on
campus.

“It‘s important that both sides
should be heard," she said.

Member Rob Herbst agreed,
saying the group was a much-
needed support group for students
interested in the anti-abortion
cause.

“Too often, the media shows
pro-life advocates in a violent
light," Herbst said.

“KYFL is an opportunity for
students to become peaceful advo-
cares.”

Devins and a core group of
members held its ﬁrst meeting

\Vednesday.

The KYFL chapter is planning
upcoming fundraising events to
help ﬁnance the group's educa—
tional projects.

Education is the group's main
goal, Devins said.

The group plans to set up dis-
plays in the Free Speech area of
the Student Center to teach oth-
ers about alternatives to abortion
and the different stages ofa fetus’
development.

Devins hopes explaining these
topics will increase the respect for
life from the moment of concep-
tion.

Currently, the chapter is focus-
ing its attention on participating
in the upcoming \Valk for Life.

The five—kilometer walk, spon—

sored by the Kentucky Right to
Life Association, will be held on
Sept. 23 at the Gardensidc Chris-
tian Church.

Having a group of college stu-
dents participate in the walk will
allow KYFL to illustrate the
strength of anti abortion support
among young adults today, Dcvins
said.

KYFL also plans to become
politically active by supporting
anti abortion candidates at both
the state and national levels.

Any stude t is welcome to
attend Kentuc y Youth for Life‘s
meetings, held every other
\Vednesday.

The next meeting will be held
today in the Student Center at 6

p.m.

State agency suspends worker
who admitted he hasno degree

Associated Press

CHARLESTON, \V.Va. —— A
mining engineer was suspended
without pay after he admitted
lying about his academic back—
ground to get a job with the Divi-
sion of Environmental Protection.

“I don't believe in lying. I don't
believe in what I done. But I don't
like welfare or Social Security.
This poor old state has had
enough scandals, and I hate to
give it one more," Jimmy Dale

Webb said.

\Vebb, 34, has worked in the

agency’s Logan office since 1991.
The office approves permits for
some of the biggest mining com-
plexes in West Virginia.

\Vebb earns $30,720 a year.

“My mother and father were
(pure ill. I didn’t have enough
( egrees to get a job, but I needed
one badly,” Webb said.“ This will
get me in trouble and may get tne

red. I was trying to save my
Mom 5 home. I tried to do the
best I could."

Division Director Eli McCoy
said the agency is investi ating the
matter “and will hope My take
appropriate action."

Larry Alt, permit supervisor at
the division’s Logan ofﬁce, said
Webb came to him Monday and

“admitted to what he had done. I
notiﬁed my supervisor and the
director’s ofﬁce.

When he applied for the job in
1990, Webb attached a transcri t
of the bachelor’ s degree e
received in mining en neering on
May 25, 1985, from K. He also

said he attended Pikeville (Ky.)
( ollege from January 1980 to
May 1981, when he received an
associate degree in industrial engi—
neering

Sue By,naker who handles stu—
dent transcripts at UK, and Roger
Bates, dean of faculty at Pikeville
( ollege, said they have no records
indicating Webb ever attended
their schools.

Webb said be accumulated 138
credits from Pikevillc College,
Prestonsburg (Ky.) ( ommunity
( olle e and Southern ( ommuni-
ty andgTechnical College.

A registrar at Prestonsbur said

\Vebb earned 30 credit ours
from courses taken from August
1984 to May 1985 and Janua
1992 to May 1992 The credits till
were in basic college courses
because the school offers no engi-
neering classes.

Alt and Sandy Kee, who heads
the division 5 personhel section,
said all potential employees are
screened by the state Department
of Administration, which reviews
applications and transcripts.

“If he did fake a transcript, we
have a problem, Kee said. “We
are looking at that.

Robert L. Stephens, personnel
director for the administration
department, said the review of
Webb' s credentials took place
before he took ofﬁce in 1993

Max Farley, assistant director
of stafﬁng services, said the agency
accepts‘ ‘transcripts that applicants
submit from colleges and universi-
ties We will check this case out
and take action if appropriate.”
