Schools to combat alcohol abuse on campus

A $249,069 grant may help curb drinking among students

By Tasha Harris

STAFF WRITER

Thanks to a hefty grant. UK and seven
other colleges and universities statewide
are working together to try and help pre-
vent alcohol abuse among college students.

Under-age drinking. driving under the
influence of alcohol and any other alcohol-
related acts that could be harmful are con—
sidered high—risk drinking. Experts and
students agree college campuses have
their share of such behavior.

“When you walk by a dorm room and
you see beer bottles lined up on the win-
dows. that tells you [bet es a problem.‘

said Randy Orzay an art studio sophomore.

Morehead State 1 niyersity teceiy ed a
grant for $249,069 to work on a project enti-
tled "The Kentucky Network Project to Re-
duce High-Risk Drinking Among College
Students."

sities to receive money tron i Morehead s

The grant was awarded through the

The network aims reduce risky drink

ket research and surveys.

[‘K hopes to create its own group to re
search and survey students. The group
will consist of faculty. stati‘. students and
community members who w ill devise
strategies to cope with alcohol abuse based
on their research and survey results.

“At l‘K we are excited about the op-
portunity to establish a campus and coin-
munity coalition iii order to examine our

students environment and to collectively

Campaign criticism at
Apathy on campus: Students lack
support for the presidential campaign

By Britt Clem
STAFF WRITER

It‘s no surprise college
students don‘t seem inter-
ested in the 2000 presiden-
tial election.

“Presidential races
have become too much the
same." Jessica Johnson. a
computer science junior.
said.

Many students feel
there isn‘t a strong distinc-
tion between candidates.
parties or their issues any-
more.

Others feel the media

is to blame for the lack of

motivated voters.

“I think the media is
making or breaking the
candidates." said Shaun
Saunders. a finance senior.
“This early in the race.
most Americans are not in-
terested right now. But the
media is force-feeding
them to pay attention to
non-important issues.“

Tim Cantrell. a politi-
cal science professor at

LCC. has his own opinions
as to why students are un
interested.

"Students. especially
18 to 2(l»year~olds. since
they got the right to vote in
Georgia in 1942. are the
lowest (age group) to vote.
because they don‘t see a di-
rect outcome in their life."
Cantrell said.

Students agree.

“We feel like what
goes 011 doesn't pertain to
us. The government is run
by old tnoney .and people
like us don t have any-
thing to do with it. ()ld peo-
ple own and run every-
thing. so we can‘t change
what needs to be changed."
Justin Head. a biology se-
nior. said.

(‘antrell said another
reason for the lack of polit-
ical interest is the great
deal of Americans who
think the candidates have
already been chosen and
don‘t feel there is much
that can be done.

This lack of interest
leads to a lack of mobility
in college voters.

“We don‘t have a big
voter turnout. so politi-
cians don‘t really care
what (college students)
think." said Emily
Romero. an inter-strategic
communications sopho-
more. “If we were involved
in more issues. I think the
turnout would be better."

()verall. students on
campus don‘t like the is-
sues or the way candidates
handle themselves.

"The candidates are all
making too many personal
attacks. and the issues
they have been looking at
are all so petty." said Shea
Persful. a decision science
senior. "They’re bringing
up issues like what to do
with the (‘uban kid who
really cares?"

Students have other
things on their minds. and
voting is low on their pri»
ority lists. It seems that
until students can see how
an election can directly ef-
fect in their lives. their in-
volvement will continue to
be minimal.

UK Art Museum may
relocate downtown

A mutual agreement: Art and history
museums will be together, pending approval

 

 

NATAUE Rossl mm STAFF

The possible new site for the UK Art Museum and a history museum could
be here, in the old Fayette County Court House.

By Hillary Cromer
MANAGING ElJliOR

'I'Iie l’K Art Museum might
pack up and move otit to the
old I’ayette (‘ountv courthouse.
Members of the t'rban (‘ounty
(‘ouncil aitd the museum may
collaborate to enhance and ex
pand l'K‘s museum.

The plan would be to house
both the I'K Art Museum. cur
rently residing at the Single
tary (‘cnter tor the .\1ts. anti :1
local history museum 111 the old
Fayette (‘ounty t'otirt House.

“Ilowntown i~11't you far
away." said Ilat riet l'owler. die
rector of the art museum “I‘m
hoping the beautiful building
will attract even more people."

According to the proposal.
the art museum would get the
majority of the space for perma-
nent exhibits. and the two
would share temporary ev-
hibits.

UK would pay operating
costs. while the history muse
um would share stall and utilities.

The museum would be
open to the public with no ad-
mission charge. Although the
art museum would attract more
of the general public. l’owler
does not want to alienate l'K‘s
student anti staff population

“I don't yvant students to feel
that it's no longer for them."
Fowler said. “We aren't meaning
to tum backs by moying.”

Fowler said that we might
see tnore of these collabora
tions in the future.

“It is a new museum for a

new century." she said.

The committee will hold
another meeting scheduled on
I’eb. 2 for public input on the
proposal. which is to raise $8.?»
million for the project. (‘ottt‘iv
house renovations would cost a
projected $7 million.

“This project is needed."
Fowler said. "We need more
room. and we need to serve
more audiences."

The plan will be imple
mented if the community can
agree that it would do well and
that they can get adequate
funding. said Bob \Vist-nzan. es
ecutiye assistant to the mayor.

“The museum would bene
lit not only the art comnniiiity.
but the community tit-large.”
Wiseman said. “It would give
downtown :1 higher profile "

The proposal has already
been approved by both innse
tiiiis and by' the committee re
sponsible for the old Fayette

needs to be approved by the l'r-

SENIOR STAFF WRITER

the memory cells working because of

this sub~freezing weather we are en-
joying. here‘s a little reminder.

I called the (Hoot—ll. 263pound
Canadian soft. immature and exactly
what the Cats didn‘t need from a
leader. At the time. it seemed appro—
priate. as Magloire had struggled in
the early season. routinely being out-
played in the post. Through six
games. I'K‘s preseason All-Southeast-
ern (‘ont‘erence selection was averag-
ing just 9.3 points. 6.7 rebounds and
shooting 32 percent from the field.
Not exactly stellar numbers for a
player who had contemplated a jump
the National Basketball Association
over the summer.

But seeing how I am not the type
of person to kick someone when they
are down and then not give them
credit when they are up. I feel as
though I must applaud Magloire‘s ef-
fort since the fateful column. (No. I
am not saying my column spurred
Jamaal‘s improvement.

Beginning with the second Mary
land game. Magloire has been every-
thing UK expected from the outset of
the season. Forceful inside. even
dominating at times. inside. Ma-
gloire has redefined his role on the
court. proving himself to be the go-to
guy the Cats have needed. while stay-
ing under control and providing the
leadership a youthful UK has needed.
Not coincidentally. UK has gone 9-2
since Magoire turned it around.

Further proof? Magloire has
raised every statistical number dra~
matically since early December. He
has averaged 15 points and 10 re-
bounds in the last 12 games. while
shooting 55 percent from the field
and 77 percent from the free throw
line. The most impressive stat? Ma-
gloire has recorded seven double-
doubles in that same time span anti
been named SEC Player of the Week.

Except for his momentary lapse
into the World Wrestling Federation
against Michigan State. Magloire has
been a “model citizen" as be de-
scribes it. Model citizen may be a
stretch. but Magloire has proven he
can lead this team, and I for one am
happy to give him his due.

a Yes. Saul Smith is the coach‘s
son. No. he isn‘t on the level of such
point guard stars as Mateen Cleaves.
Khalid EI-Amin and Ed Cota. But
Smith is more than capable of lead-
ing the Cats.

In fact. with all the pressures he
faces from less-than-patient UK fans.
Smith may be the most impressive
player on the floor thus far this year
for the Cats. Cut him some slack
fans. everyone makes mistakes.

as Okay. I have a request. Would
someone (Jamaal) please knock out
that little kid on Florida's roster if
you get a chance? What's his name?
Teddy something? ()ne good elbow
should do work just fine.

a Finally. would someone please
tell Auburn fans that when you are
ranked No. 4 in the country and beat
the N0. 24 team by just three points.
at home. do not storm the floor! You
look like you‘ve never won a basket-
ball game before.

. While watching the Ten-
nessee/UK women's game in sold-out
Memorial Coliseum Sunday. I could-
n‘t help but wonder how unbeliev-
able an atmosphere it would be for
the men‘s team to play one home
game in the old arena a year and
have it be all students. Unfortunately
we know UK would never give up the
money from the suits at Rupp.

Cool Cats beat
Toledo twice

Welcome back: Cold weather, month off
don't seem to bother Cool Cats one bit

Nathan Hutchinson
STAFF WRITER

The UK Cool Cats skated
right back into the spring se-
mester from the winter
break with two wins against
the University of Toledo.

“First day back you
could see them wanting it.
you tell the fire in their eyes.
Practice showed it this week,
and the game showed it this
week. They want to start
playing hockey again.“ UK
coach Brian Graham said.

Kentucky came out
shooting last Friday night,
firing 20 first period shots on
Toledo goaltender Jack
Seney. But because of
Seney‘s heroics. the game
was scoreless after the first
period.

“Their goaltender layed
a great game. He ( eney)
shut us down in the first pe-
riod. He kept them in it as
best he could,“ Graham said.

Toledo took a brief 1-0
lead when Jake Surdell
scored on a power play in the
second period. But just 37
seconds later on a power
play of their own. UK's Jason
Painter tied the score.

With a faceoff to the
right of Seney, Aaron
Stephenson won the draw,
and Painter, who was lined
up on the far side, skated
around, picked up the puck
between the hash marks and
beat Seney high to the stick
side.

“Stevie (Stephenson)
made a good play. He held up
his man and drew it back.
The puck sat there and I just

 

came around, picked it up
and found an opening,"
Painter said.

Graham credited that
play with bringing the Cats
back in the game.

“It got the fire burning
and the guys came out and
started playing again." Gra-
ham said.

Kentucky took control.
with goals by Toni Haapala.
Alex Derhohannesian. and
Corey Callahan that led to a
4-1 victory.

Saturday. Kentucky ran
out to a 3-0 first period lead
before Toledo started a come-
back. Surdell and John
Frank scored 48 seconds
apart to get Toledo within a
goal at 3-2. and another late
goal made the score 4-3 at the
end of the second period.

That‘s when Graham de-
cided to pull goaltender Ja-
son Smith and put in Justin
Clark.

“It was a momentum
changer. Get the guys refo-
cused again. Remember they
have to support their goalie.
It wasn‘t anything to do with
Jay’s (Smith) playing. I just
wanted to go with a momen-
tum change. It worked I
guess," Graham said.

Clark was solid in the fi-
nal period. Kentucky got two
goals from Callahan. and one
from Stephenson on the way
to a 7-4 victory.

Overall. Graham could-
n’t have been more pleased
with his team‘s effort.

“Two league wins is
huge. cause you never know
what can happen in this
league." Graham said.

Movie tries to stay true

Artlsfic freedom: Like most movies, film
takes a few liberties with the storyline

By Patrick Avery
sun 1mm

Many movies take signifi-
cant dramatic liberties when
bringing novels to the big
screen. The Hurricane is no
exception.

The movie borrows most
of its information from two dif-
ferent books. Rubin “Hurri-
cane” Carter’s autobiography,
“The Sixteenth Round: From
Number I Contender to
#45472,” reveals Carter’s incar-
ceration in the Trenton State
Prison. The second book. writ
ten by Sam Chaiton and Terry
Swinton and called “Lazarus
and. the Hurricane: The Untold
Story of theFreeing of Rubin
‘Hurricane’ Carter." depicts
Carter’s story as told by the
Canadians who helped on the
legal float to free Carter

These books complement .,

each other nicely and provide
the basis for an excellent mo-
tion picture screenplay. How»
over. many important facts get
lost in the making of the
movie.

Carter was imprisoned in

the late 19805 for life and
served 20 years. However, the
movie fails to mention that
Carter received a release after
his initial sentencing. Ten
years after the sentencing.
Muhammad Ali, Bob Dylan
and many other significant
people rallied for Carter’ s re-
lease from jail One court up
held his conviction. and Carter
remained free for eight months
until another judge ordered
Carter back to prison. This fact
makes the story more tragic in
terms of tasting freedom and
then losing it again.

”Another adaptation made
for the movie was the role of
the Canadians. The actual
number of Canadians who as
sisted in Carter’s release from
prison was decreased. The
movie shows three. white the
book tells of 9. Three of them
eventually memo. New Jersey
to pursue the matter closely;
all of them helped significantly
in the legal process. One of the
Canadians, Lisa, wound up liv-
ing with Carter after his re-
lease in the 19806. They have
since gone their separate ways.

 This is the way

Becoming a
0.5. citizen

Since 6-year-old Elian
Gonzalez was
rescued as the lone
survivor of a
cap51zed boat, he has
been in the middle of
a tuqowar between
Cuba and the United
States and various
interest groups
within each nation.

In the latest episode of
this ongomg saga,
US. federal
lawmakers are
planning an attempt
to declare Elian
Gonzalez a US.
citizen.

The Senate could vote
on the legislation as
early as the middle
of this week.

 

 

Of course, an act of
Congress is not the
normal route one
takes to become a
US. citizen. Here's a
little terminology
about the
immigration and
naturalization
process:

Visa

Anyone can apply to be
an immigrant to the
United States. In
order to enter the
country, however,
most applicants must
have a visa. There
are two classes of
visas: nonlmmigrant
and immigrant.

Green card

A green card gives you
the right to live and
work permanently in
the United States.

Naturalization

Anyone who has a green
card may apply to
become a US.
citizen. This
application process is
called naturalization.
which is done
through one of the
33 INS district
offices.

Qualifications

These are the criteria
immigrants must
meet in order to
become citizens:

Reside in the United
States continuously
for at least 5 years
after receiving a
green card.

Have been phy51cally
present in the United
States for half of
those 5 years.

Be of good moral
character.

Have a basic
knowledge of US.
government and
history.

Be able to read. write
and speak simple
English.

Be at least 18 and
capable of taking a
US. oath of
allegiance

Express allegiance to
the US government

Interview

After filing an
application, a person
may wait anywhere
from several months
to more than a year
before receiving
notice to appear for
a naturalization
interview,
