What's in
the budget
for Bush

TUESDAYKENTUCKY

March 27, 2001

 

As you may or may not
know, our newly
semi-elected
President George W.
Bush submitted his
budget plan Feb. 27.
His office had been
saying that there
would be a significant
cut in his plan, but in
White House terms
that means the

increase would be
less than usual.
Georgie, as I like to
call him. surely has
added a few fine

No student arrests for OxyContin

The issue: UK Police say cancer drug not a campus problem

By Nathan Bradley

CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Despite the high number of illegal ()xy-
Contin users portrayed in the news over the
last couple of months. UK officials say stu-
dents don‘t seem to contribute to the group
of people that is using the powerful and
highly addictive drug unlawfully.

Travis Manley. commander of commu-
nication and information services for the
UK Police Department. says they haven‘t ar-
rested any students in cases relating to the
use of the drug prescribed to cancer. back
pain and bone marrow transplant patients.

OxyContin has recently been reported
as used illegally in several counties in Ken~
tucky. as well as other states in the nation.

Gregory Hall. a detective for the UK
Police Department said he too hasn‘t been
informed of any misuse of the drug by UK
students.

“To my knowledge no students have
been caught using the drug.“ he said.

Though ()xyContin hasn't led the police
to the arrest of any students. Hall said the
police department has had one arrest and
two other cases relating to the drug.

“We find people who are addicted to the
drug that are going around to different doc»
tors and trying to find a different pain re-
liever to relieve their symptoms." he said.
“Basically they are trying to obtain a pre-
scription drug by fraud."

Hall said this is difficult because ()xy»
Contin is not easy to obtain.

 

Change: UK medical students, faculty
to restructure Salvation Army Clinic

By Toni Knight
CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Mike Schafer and Dan-
ny Eiferman met each oth-
er when they started their
medical education at UK
and became friends when
they discovered their com-
mon interest to help those
who are less fortunate.

With the help of other
medical students. faculty
and administration, they
have taken on the task of
restructuring the Salva-
tion Army Clinic within
four years.

The College of Medi-
cine sent Schafer and
Eiferman to visit three stu-

University of California

largely modeled after the
progressive clinics visited

in California.

Schafer and Eiferman

leadership role in improv-
ing the health and well-be-
ing of the under-served
population in Lexington by
providing free medical ser»
vices. The goal is to also in,
crease awareness of local
health care issues and pro-
vide a place for student
community service and
early clinical exposure.
Now the first- and second
year medical students are
involved in the clinic. in-
stead of only third- and
fourth-year students.

“We didn't want to
wait until we graduated to
help people. We saw all of
the wonderful things going
on at the Salvation Army
Clinic and wanted to build
on what was already a suc-
cess story." Schafer said.

Important lessons in athletics

By Kristi Martin
STAFF WRITER

Another champion received an award
for excellence this past weekend.

But this time the focus was on women
as the Kentucky High School Athletics As~
sociation Women‘s Basketball Tourna-
ment closed.

Though the KHSAA concluded. nu-
merous women‘s NCAA tournaments con-
tinue to play in full swing.

Many athletes at UK agree athletics
offer both women and men a great experi
ence because they teach important
lessons.

Susan Lax. media relations di-
rector for UK‘s women's basket-
ball. said participation in athv
lctics is rewarding for women.

“For a woman to partici-
pate in sports can prepare her
for life." Lax said.

Some of the aspects Lax emphasized
about athletics were that it prepares
women to Work in a team format and
manage their time beyond the court. as
well as providing them with opportunities
to have fun.

Likewise, Lax emphasized the posi-
tive aspects of playing sports and ex-
celling in school.

“Being involved in athletics also can
increase your academic performance
through time management and self-es-
teem.“ she said.

Acquiring outstanding time manage-
ment skills becomes essential for athletes
because players must learn to balance
traveling. practice. games. academics and
their social lives through in-
volvement in athletics.

Lax said all ofthese fun-

damentals provide a great opportunity for

self-development. and can also be reward-

ing and fun for anyone who tries to play.
“Women can meet friends

for life through sports." Lax

said.
Kara McCue, undeclared

freshman. agrees. She said

playing soccer for UK was a

learning experi-

ence in

more

ways

than one.
“I feel like I am
a more well-round»
ed person today be
cause I chose to
participate in soc-
cer." McCue said.
Selfdiscipline.
leadership and a pos-
itive spirit were
some of the skills Mcs
Cue said playing soc-
cer helped her
achieve.
“Soccer has
opened my mind to pos
sibilities and molded me
into a better person with
more strength. commit-
ment and drive than I have
ever had before." she said.

Athletics also helped 3. 5V

her academically.

“Being in a team format can help an
athlete overcome adversity in the class
room and life because she has her team-
mates to rely on." she said.

“While playing during the season and
practicing I have learned the importance
of time management and my grades are
actually better when I am playing soccer."

McCue said athletics also offered pos-

itive fundamentals in leadership and

academics.
She said athletic partici-
pation molds a

woman's frame of
mind because it helps her gain a

sense of determination while playing.
Though McCue attributes the array
of fundamentals she learned to the ac-
tual sport of soccer. she said she owes
the coaches a huge part of her thanks.
Coaches were the individuals who
helped prepare McCue for leader-
ship along thc way. which she said
molded her into a teammate that

could help others in times of need.
“Soccer has taught me to never
give up. always keep fighting
to achieve my goals that I
set and the important les-
son that if you work
hard enough on the
field. in the class
room and in life.
then you will
succeed."

el would give students in prac-
tice management, an element
that was previously lacking in
the medical curriculum. They
also stressed what the clinic
could do to meet the needs of
the underprivileged in the
Lexington community.

The School of Public
Health then found out what
the needs of the community
were and wrote the Associa-
tion of American Medical Col-
leges for a grant. The clinic
was awarded a grant of $30,000
over four years this past sum-
mer. which has made the
transformation of the clinic
possible.

“It gives us an opportuni-
ty to do what we wanted to do
when we came to medical
school w help people," Eifer.
man said.

Eiferman got his first
taste of medicine when he
worked as an emergency
medical technician on an am-
bulance and helped run a
homeless shelter medical
clinic for two years while do-
ing his undergraduate stud-
ies at Chicago's Northwest»
ern University.

The homeless shelter was
in the basement of a church in
a suburb of Chicago.

“It was a great experience
for me because the doctors at
the clinic let me give shots,
observe exams and answered
all my questions." Eiferman
said.

He said that working
there gave him a good idea of
how he wanted to restructure
the Salvation Army Clinic.

Schafer has wanted to be
a physician for as long as he
can remember.

“Based upon a love of the
sciences and a desire to pro-
vide a practical help. as well
as a spiritual help, I decided
upon medicine.“ Schafer
said.

Schafer became an or.
dained Baptist minister in
1994 while he was finishing
his undergraduate studies
and working at Procter and
Gamble. He was the pastor of
a small country church called

Short Creek Baptist in Fal-
mouth, Ky., for about a year.

“After being ordained I
planned to go to seminary."
he said. “However my wife
and I decided that my desire
to share God's love and my
goals of being useful to others
would be better achieved in
medicine."

Gonsalves said the duo’s
efforts are not self-serving.

“Some people go into
medicine for other reasons
besides a desire to help peo-
ple. but Mike and Danny re-
ally care. They don‘t volun-
teer just to put it on their
records. They don't look
down on people. They're
good communicators."

Schafer views medicine as
more than just an occupation.

“I think medicine is more
than a job. and it takes a
lifestyle commitment. It is a
way of life. and I see it as an
extension of who you are."

He feels that building re-
lationships with people and
being useful to them are at the
core of being a successful
physician.

Schafer pointed out.
though. that success can be
defined in many ways.

“By the kindness of oth-
ers. l have learned to View
success as being about more
than personal achievement. I
have learned that success is
about how much we help oth-
ers to succeed and to achieve
their goals," he said.

Eiferman has similar
views on the power and im-
portance of medicine.

“Medicine allows an indi-
vidual to really get to know
people and understand who
they are. A physician has the
ability to significantly impact
a person's life." Eiferman
said.

Concerning the subject of
what it takes to be a good
physician Eiferman said,
“Empathy is the most power—
ful healing tool. and I hope to
improve at it each day with
each new experience.

“I was taught at a young
age that happiness comes
from when you give of your-
self. My success will come in
medicine by the dedication
and effort that I give to my
patients."

Computers in the classroom: Paducah science teachers look to

lessons. they should be.
They're teaching the class.

The students are studying
earthquakes and how they
might affect people living
along the New Madrid fault.
Using information they‘ve
found on lnternet sites that
track and explain seismic ac
tivity. the students present
their findings and use them in
daily class discussion.

“It's so much easier to
learn from the computer than
front a book.“ student l’ierce
Meier said. “There are videos
and animation that show us
how things yvork. instead of a
picture yve would just stare at."

"(letting these kids to do extra

self. [in just guiding the class
’l‘hey‘re teaching each other.”

.lones admits there are
drawbacks to basing too much
of the class on technology.
Some students do not have
computer equipment at home.

But the school's computer
labs are kept open after school
and there are laptop computers
available for homework. pro-
vided the students' parents go
through a training course on
how to use them.

Sometimes the kids will
enter an innocent word in a
search engine and come up
with an inappropriate site. but
Jones said a block on the
school's system keeps them

ASSOCiATED PRESS

HTS ANGELI‘IS “(iladiatoi"' won five
Academy Awards on Sunday. including best picr
titre and actor Russell (‘rowe and Julia
Roberts won the best actress trophy for her pot"

ing power company in "Erin llrockoy'ich.”

sounds and citizens of a faraway world. we
should take a chisel to this statue and give you
your fair share." said Douglas Wick. a producer
of "Gladiator." which also yyon for sound. cos
tunie design and visual elTects.

Steven Soderbergh did what observers
deemed impossible: He won best director for
"Traffic” even though people felt he would
split the vote by being nominated for "Erin
Hrockovich.”

Following “Gladiator" was "'l‘raffic" with
four awards. including Soderbergh's. supporting
actor for Benicio Del Toro, adapted screenplay by
Stephen (‘iaghan and film editing.

"(‘rouching Tiger. Hidden Dragon" also
scored four ()scars foreign language film. art
direction. cinematography and original score.

When she won. a giddy Roberts ascended the
auditorium stage and warned that she would be
speaking for a long time "because I may never be
here again."

She clutched her first ()scar and said. "This
is quite pretty "

The audience was amused by her glee.

“i love the world. I'm so happy.” Roberts

squealed.

(‘rowe. who seemed distracted earlier in the
program. responded eyuberantly

“Really folks. T owe this to one bloke. and his
name is Ridley Scott." (‘royy'e said of his director.

"if you grow up in the suburbs of any
where. a dream like this seems kind of vaguely
ludicrous and completely unattainable.” he went
on. “This moment is directly connected to those
childhood imaginings. And for anybody who‘s on
the downside ofadyantage. and relying purely on
courage. it‘s possible."

Marcia (lay Harden. who played the long-suf
fering wife ofartist Jackson Pollock in “Pollock.”

detective. thanked Soderbergh and others con-
nected with his ntovie. while Harden noted that
few people had seen "l’oliock." since it opened in
theaters the same week as the ()scar noinina
tions. and thanked the voters for taking the time
to review the videotapes made available to them.

“lid Harris. thank you for inviting me to
share your passion.” she said to her director.
