Greeks go with Robinson/Harralson

By Jenny Robertson
DIALOGUE C0~EDITOR

In the 2000 US. presidential
election. Florida‘s 25 electoral
votes decided who got to move into
the White House.

At UK. the Greek community
traditionally decides who will oc-
cupy the Student Government As-
sociation‘s executive suite in the
Student Center.

The Greek Political Action
Committee voted Tuesday night to
endorse presidential and vice pres
idential candidates Tim Robinson
and Caroline Harralson.

The GPAC historically en-

dorses the winning ticket; accord-
ing to a news release distributed
by Edwin Orange. the campaign
adviser for the Robinson Harral
son campaign. GI’AC has en-
dorsed 12 winning candidates
since 1988.

Many feel this is an important
win for the Robinson/Harralson
campaign.

"We think we‘ve earned the
Greek support and now it‘s time to
earn the rest of the campus‘ sup-
port." Robinson said.

llarralson agreed that contin-
uing a campuswide campaign
would be important.

“This won‘t change our strate-

gy." she said. "From the very be-
ginning. we‘ve tried to include a
lot of different organizations."

After Tuesday night‘s vote.
other candidates will also look to
other organizations for support.
particularly the non-Greek
community.

Presidential candidate Steve
Shaw said that, because there are
four tickets. the Greek vote would
not carry as much weight as it has
in the past. Each ticket had at least
one member who is involved with
a Greek organization.

“lndependents are going to
win this race because the Greek
ticket is so split up." Shaw said.

()thello. who after his death was known as “great of

redemption.

Studying certain Shakespeare tales introduces us to a
glorified and gallant world of suicide. However. beneath
those eloquent words and famous phrases lies the disas-
trous and nightmarish truth of an illness that never kills
without leaving a trail of unanswered questions and griev-

ing survivors.

Suicide is the second leading cause of death. preceded
only by car accidents. among college students in this coun-
try. Since the 19505. college suicide has doubled its rate in

women and tripled among men.

According to Dr. Charlie O'Neil. assistant director of
the Counseling and Testing Center at UK. five-toseven per-
cent of his cliean discuss thoughts on suicide in a serious
manner. O’Neil also said that though it is not abnormal to
think of suicide. it is a critical matter if the thought is not

passing or briefly contemplated.

Fortunately. UK does not appear to have a high sui<
cide rate. But ()‘Neil says he does receive a fair number of
suicide referrals from faculty. advisers. parents and resiv
dent advisers. Most of the calls come during advising
weeks. when students feel pressures in deciding on the

next semester or year.

O‘Neil also feels that it is hard to get an exact idea of
how many UK students seriously contemplate suicide.

cult to document each case if it is not publicized or

Diet guru shows students the way to Subway

Slim sandwiches: Subway's commercial star to visit

lives.

Jared Fogle. the college student made
famous by losing 245 pounds by eating a
Subway sandwich for lunch and dinner for
nearly a year. will speak at 10 am, Friday
at the UK (‘ommons Area

His talk is sponsored by Health Ser-

March 1998 after seeing a sign at a local

SUICIDE

Continued from page I

 

brought to the attention of the
University.

According to the Ameri-
can Foundation of Suicide Pre-
ventioti. the greatest cause of
suicide among college stu-
dents is from tnental illness
usually depression.

While AFSP claims that
suicide factors can be very dis
verse and complex. Issues
such as anxiety. stress. rage.
hopelessness and alcohol are
most likely to increase the
risk. especially with college
students.

In the article "Moods and
Worldwide Views: Suicide on
Campus“ by Ricardo Rivera.
he states; “the presence of
mood disorders not only
makes it tttore likely that a
person will attempt suicide.
but will also incline them to-
wards more 'set'lous' and
planned efforts."

Besides medical and per-
sonal factors. Rivera also

writes that cultural aspects
can attribute to the growing
number of suicides among col-
lege students in America. He
claims that universities offer
many life-altering choices. and
sometimes students have a
harder time identifying with
something meaningful or pur-
poseful in their studies. This
loss of control can cause the
risk factors of anxiety and
stress. among others, to rise.

The best way to help a po-
tential suicide victim is by en-
couraging that person to talk
with a counselor or someone
influential (a teacher or
parent).

Then. if therapy or hospi~
talization is necessary. it can
be provided and used to re-
duce the possibility of attempt-
ed or succeeding in commit-
ting suicide.

hi. one case reported by Sis-
ter Maura ()'l)(.rnohue. a physi
ciari and member of the Med-
ical Missionary of Mary. a
priest got a nun pregnant and
then arranged for an abortion.
She died during the procedure.
the magazine said. and the
priest officiated at her funeral
Mass.

The reports cited by the Na-
tional (‘atholic Reporter also
say that nuns who become preg-
nant are often forced to leave
their orders. while the priests
involved are allowed to contin-
iie with their ministries.

The Vatican statement was
issued 'l‘uesday after the ltalian
media reported on the maga
zine article. The Vatican had
refused comment to the Nation-
al (‘atholic Reporter.

which is one of 4.3 university li-
braries participating in the sur-
vey. hopes to gain an understand-
ing of practices that work the
best.

“Besides understanding peo-
ple‘s perceptions, we want to
identify areas where we need to
improve." Wiza said. “lf we see
certain areas that didn't get high
marks we can work on them."

The L'R survey is part ofa pi~

problem

The National (‘atholic Re-
porter said there are no com-
prehensive statistics on the seX»
ual abuse of nuns. but the “fre-
quency and consistency of the
reports point to a problem
that needs to be addressed."

The reports cited by the Na-
tional (‘atholic Reporter link
the problem to cultural atti
tudes toward celibacy as well as
to the fear of AIDS and to tradi-
tions of female subservience,

The Rev. Bernardo
(‘ervellera director of Fides.
the news agency of the Vati-
can's missionary arm. said
celibacy has always been a
struggle for some priests. but
he was surprised at the ac-
counts of sexual abuse.

“1 was a missionary for 25
years and I never encountered
such a problem." he said. “hr
stead. l found priests and nuns
who gave themselves wholly to
people with leprosy. with All)S

priests and nuns who live
their love for Christ."
