Survey to look at physical, sexual violence against women

By Ian M
sun mum

Researchers will soon at-
tempt to learn more about
some of the personal details of
female UK students' lives.

A survey. set to begin next
spring, will interview 1,000
students, asking them if they
have ever been the victim of
violence — physical. sexual or
stalking.

“We also want to know if
they were a victim before they
got to campus or while on
campus." said Carol Jordan,
director of UK‘s Center for Re
search on Violence Against

Women.

Rapes are probably the
most underreported crime.
she said.

Recent events on campus
— a reported rape in June and
reported sexual abuses in Au-
gust and November — did not
prompt the survey, said Patri-
cia Terrell, vice president of
Student Affairs. whose office
is involved in the project. “We
started talking about it in the
early spring," she said. “We‘re
concerned about anything
that can help our students."

The interviews, conduct.
ed anonymously and random-
1y by calling students, aim to

help women. Jordan said.

“We want to identify the
risks against women.” she
said “Most of the time, the
victim knows her (attacker)."

Jordan added that ac-
quaintance rape, or date rape.
occurs more often than
stranger rape. However. the
last reported rape and two
sexual abuses on campus in-
volved victims who did not
know their attackers.

Although the questions
have not yet been made. she
hopes to find out if women re
ported the crimes to police
and/ or contacted a counselor
and the specifics of the attack.

Jordan realizes that it
could be a difficult subject for
some. “There are clearly going
to be people who don't want to
participate," she said. “We re
spect that. and privacy will be
maintained.

“We want to make women
feel more comfortable in
reaching out and asking for
help," Jordan said.

Melody Sales, an integrat-
ed strategic communications
junior, said she hopes the sur-
vey will help but she doubts
students will be candid. “Be-
ing a victim shouldn‘t be a
sensitive subject, but it is.”
she said.

Sales said awareness has
risen on campus since the re
ported sex crimes earlier this
semester. “I'm concerned, sol
never walk by myself at night
anymore," she said.

Josh Lane, an Air Force
cadet with Safe Cats. which
provides escorts for students
on campus at night, said the
number of people his service
escorts is up this year.

Lane did not know if the
numbers reflected the in-
creased attention on sex
crimes on campus.

Jordan doesn't anticipate
the UK survey will turn up a
higher number of victims

than there are in other areas.
“We know that Kentucky has
the same rate when compared
to other states” she said.

This is not the first sur-
vey of its kind. In 2000, re
searchers conducted a similar
survey among 10 universities
across the country, she said.
She said two researchers from
that survey would serve as
consultants for UK.

The UK President’s Com-
mission on Women. the Sur-
vey Research Center and 15
faculty members are also in-
volved in the project.

Thefts from cars spike during holidays

Shoppers buying gifts
this holiday season are vul-
nerable to thieves looking for
free gifts — in other people‘s
vehicles.

The UK Police issued a
campus alert yesterday to
warn students. faculty. staff
and visitors to be careful
with their cars.

Thefts are at a peak
around campus parking lots.
according to the alert.

“It’s a time of opportuni-
ty." said Cmdr. Travis Manley
with UK Police Communica-
tion and Information Ser-
vices. “It‘s a time when peo-

clude tools. VCRs. car radios
and other electronics.

Manley said thieves will
rarely break into a car unless

the item they want is visible.

“People leave expensive
leather jackets, stereos and
laptops in plain view." he
said. “People go for what
they can see."

The value of stolen
items typically ranges from
$100 to $250. but with car re-
pair costs. victims end up
paying much more. he said.

Doors are often pried

worth of damage, he said.

Manley said the less for-
tunate sometimes steal items
to give to their loved ones as
gifts or sell them to pawn
shops to have holiday money.
The majority of people an
rested are not affiliated with
UK. he said.

Charlie Andrade, an in-
tegrated strategic communi-
cations junior. learned his
lesson when a CD player was
taken from his car.

“(People) will steal any-
thing they can get their
hands on," Andrade said.

Andrade parks his car in
the K-lot by Commonwealth
Stadium. where he said he
feels it’s safe.

“People are always walk-
ing around, which makes
stealing harder,” he said.

Not so, Manley said.

Two of the places hit
hardest are K-lot and the lot
on College View Avenue be-
hind Memorial Coliseum. he
said. Visitors parking at the
Medical Center are also fre-
quent targets.

portunity like vast lots.

There was recently a
rash of thefts on Woodland
Avenue. Manley said.

When thefts happen in
one particular area, typically
they are sprees done by pee
ple working together.

Weather also affects the
number of thefts.

Mild weather brings
more complaints, he said.

SG offers students
holiday shuttle

By Karen Henderson
STAF F WRITER

Along with dishing out tickets to students with vehicles,
UK Parking and Transportation Services have turned their at-
tention to car-less students as well.

With the help of Student Government. UK parking is pro-
viding free rides for students who want to get in their Christ-
mas shopping before going home.

“We wanted to do something for students this holiday sea-
son who are wrapped up in preparing for finals, who also want
to squeeze in a little shopping." said Don Thornton, the direc-

tor of UK parking.

Though they usually remain parked on Sundays. two
CATS buses will hit regular stops to take students to and from

Fayette Mall on Dec. 7 and 14.

Thornton. who planned on running the holiday shuttle
with or without SG, brought the idea to SG President Rachel

Watts several months ago.

“86 presidents have come to me in the past, looking for
ways that we can work together," Thornton said. “I thought
this would be a good way for them to get involved."

86 jumped at the chance. said Will Nash. the 80 press sec-

re

“Rachel saw this as an opportunity to spend a little of the

surplus and to reach students who might not normally use 86

services." Nash said.

Jessica Burke, the cabinet secretary of the executive
branch. encouraged Watts to go ahead with the shuttle.

“We‘re here to help students out," Burke said. “And we
thought we might as well give this a try."

The shuttle will be most helpful to freshmen living in the
residence halls without a car, she said.

According to a survey put out last year by UK parking, 41

Groups GOP leaders oflered bribe
WASHING N —— The Justice Department
said yesterday it would review complaints
from political watchdog groups that Republi-
can House leaders tried to bribe Rep. Nick
Smith, R-Mich., to vote for a Medicare bill.
Smith voted against the bill despite what he
described as threats against his son, Brad
Smith, who is running for the House seat his
father is vacating next year. Nick Smith said
his own party's leaders offered money for
his son‘s campaign if he voted for the bill
and that they threatened to support other
GOP candidates for the seat if the congress-
man voted against the legislation. “Bribes
and special deals were offered to convince
members to vote yes.” Smith wrote in 3 Nov.
23 newspaper column. Mark Glaze of the
nonpartisan Campaign Legal Center said if
the allegations are true, House members vio
lated a federal law against bribing public of-
ficials. The law allows people to verbally per-
suade lawmakers. Glaze said. but doesn’t al-
low them to offer something of value to
change a vote. His group filed a complaint
Wednesday. as did a separate group, Citizens
for Responsibility and Ethics. which has De
mocratic ties. Justice Department
spokesman Mark Corallo said the com-
plaints were received and will be reviewed,
which is normal procedure. House Speaker
Dennis Hastert’s office has denied threats

Shumaker ignored U of L policies,
according to state auditor's report

Former president failed to keep original receipts;
U of L criticized for having ‘weak internal controls’

ASSOCIAYED PRESS

Former University of
Louisville President John
Shumaker established a
pattern of ignoring univer-
sity policies for document-
ing travel and entertain-
ment expenses, a state au-
ditor's report found.

Shumaker did not have
original receipts for more
than $62,000 of credit card
and reimbursed expenses,
according to the audit re-
leased Thursday.

A review by university
auditors found in Septem-
ber that the expenditures
were “adequately support-
ed" by documentation be-
cause credit card records
showed they were busi-
ness-related, U of L board
of trustees chairman Ju-
nior Bridgeman said.

Shumaker resigned as
president of the University
of Tennessee in August af-
ter questions arose about
his extravagant spending
and personal travel.

Three former employ-
ers, all universities, have
audited his spending. He
was president of Central
Connecticut State Univer-
sity from 1987 to 1995 be-
fore coming to U of L.

Kentucky Auditor Ed
Hatchett’s report surveyed
Shumaker’s spending from
the beginning of 1999
through June 2002.

“Internal auditors
clearly documented a pat-
tern of noncompliance
with established university
policies regarding reten-
tion of original receipts,”
the audit says.

Hatchett also said state
auditors plan to look at
other areas where Shumak.

er may have incurred ex-
penses, such as personal
service contracts he initi-
ated or spending for the
president's home.

“I perceive it to be my
responsibility as the audi-
tor of public accounts to
ensure that the University
of Louisville community
and Kentucky taxpayers
know the whole story
about John Shumaker’s
spending practices while
he was president." Hatch-
ett said.

“In order to do that. we
have to be sure every cate-
gory where expenditures
might have been incurred
is examined."

President James Ram-
sey said in a statement that
auditors did not look at the
other expenses because
they were of an institu—
tional. not personal, na-
ture.

“We felt the most effec-
tive use of our auditors’
time would be to focus
on the areas that had the
most potential for risk:
travel and entertainment
as well as reimbursements
for other expenses handled
personally by the president
or his wife.” Ramsey said.

“Had the auditors iden-
tified problems that would
have signaled any illicit in-
tent on the part of the for-
mer president. we would
have looked further."

At Tennessee for little
more than a year, Shumak-
er spent almost $500,000 on
improvements for the pres.
idential residence and
more than $165,000 for tail-
gate parties during football
game weekends, a UT audit
said.

He also reimbursed UT
for more than $34,000 in
personal expenses that had
been covered with univer-
sity funds.

“I must note that the
state auditor did not iden-
tify any fraud or any new
issues regarding the for-
mer president's travel and
entertainment expenses.
reaffirming the work of
our auditors.” Ramsey
said.

However, the state au-
dit criticized U of L for
having “weak internal con-
trols" for executive expen-
ditures.

It offers several recom-
mendations for stricter
oversight, such as having
the board approve quarter-
ly expense reports that
would include spending on
the president‘s home.

Ramsey said the board
reaffirmed its policy in Oc-
tober requiring original re-
ceipts for travel expenses
and changed university
policy to allow a U of L
Foundation-issued credit
card to be used for busi-
ness only. Ramsey has re-

turned his foundation
credit card.
Shumaker charged

$35,716 of personal expens-
es to his foundation credit

card and reimbursed
$33,670.
Other recommenda-

tions made in the state au-
dit will be passed on to the
university and foundation
boards. Ramsey said.

“We welcome the addi—
tional recommendations
defined by the state audi-
tors and we will review
them," Bridgeman said.

“We all have the same
goal — to ensure the mon-
ey the university has is
spent appropriately and ef-
ficiently."

percent of freshmen have not

As part of their involve-
ment, SG is paying the hourly
wage for the shuttle drivers at
a price of $400 to $500 total.

UK parking is handling
all other expenses, including
what it takes to publicize the
service and operating costs.

Alisia Taylor, a psycholo-
gy sophomore. learned about
the shuttle from a sign hang-

ing up in Blazer Hall where
she lives.

She said the shuttle will
be a great help to students
who have time to use it.

“I know people who have
walked all the way to and
from the mall because they
couldn’t get a ride," she said.
“That’s a long way.”

Other students said that
while the shuttle is a good
idea, they won’t take advan-
tage of it.

“I’ve got so many exams
and studying to do," said An-
drew Swafford. a political sci-
ence freshman who lives in
Kirwan Tower and doesn't
have a car. “I don‘t think I’ll

get any shopping done until fi-
nals are over."

Others said they already
have rides lined up.

“I wouldn’t think to use it
because I have him," said po-
litical science freshman
Heather Pyles. as she pointed
toward a friend. “I’ve got my

Healthy moderation
possible during holidays

Students. experts relate season’s food woes, avoiding weight gain over Christmas dinner

ByElnllyGltnlml

CONTRIBUTING WRITER

During the holiday sea-
son, students will be encour-
aged to consume more heaps
of fattening foods than any
other time of the year. In
fact, according to the Family
and Consumer Sciences Divi-
sion of the UK College of
Agriculture. the average
American gains seven
pounds over the holidays.

“I know there is no San-
ta, so that fun is gone," said
accounting sophomore
Robert Zega. “What is left?
Buying gifts for someone and
receiving gifts from them —
it’s like a bad trade. Let me
buy you something you don‘t
want and you can buy me
something I don’t want and
we exchange them. The food
is the only genuine thing left
in the holiday season.“

From fruitcake gifts to
family dinners, food will be
everywhere in the coming
weeks.

“Part of the American
culture is to associate food at
the holidays." said Gary
Ditsch, owner of Ditsch Fit-
ness and certified personal
trainer at the Underground
Fitness Center.

Ditsch said holiday din-
ners and desserts become a
problem when people eat en-
tirely too much.

“The best way to prevent
overeating is to stop mind-
less eating,“ Ditsch said.
“These foods can make social
activities enjoyable. but I be-
lieve we tend to eat too much
because of our emotional re—
sponse to the foods. I feel if
people would take more time
to enjoy the food itself, they
may be able to stop overeat-

ing."

Whether it's temptation
or persuasion, for some stu‘
dents. overeating is just too
difficult to avoid.

“Grandma gets pissed if
I don't get at least one slice of
both the raspberry cheese-
cake and the Kentucky
cream cake." said engineer-
ing sophomore Jeff Hignite.
“Then there is always the
pumpkin pie and turkey and
dumplings. I could go on for
hours!"

Jill Kindy, a nutritionist
at University Health Service,
specializes in weight man-
agement and eating disor-
ders. She offered strategies
to help students fight entic-
ing eats.

“If you can, keep the
splurge to just one meal.
(choose either Thanksgiving
dinner or Christmas dinner)
and monitor yourself for the
rest of the season — then en-
joy!" she said. “Another strat-
egy is to enjoy only the
things that you love and just
can’t do without. rather than
loading your plate with
every option on the buffet.
Or. if you love it all. then en-
joy everything in moderation
by taking small scoops or
pieces."

Ditsch agreed. saying
that moderation is key.

“During the holidays
there are typically lots of
sugary foods." he said.
“These include cakes. cook-
ies, pies... While they are not
bad, they can be a source of
many extra calories when we
eat them mindlessly“

Ditsch also said certain
foods are best to be avoided.

“It is probably a good
idea to include foods with
protein and fats. not just sug-

ars." he said. "A good exam‘
ple at a holiday party might
be to include some nuts. The
fats will help increase your
satiety so you will not want
to keep eating through the
entire party.“

Students said the after-
math of pigging out is far
from pleasant.

“I feel like crap after-
wards." said pre-pharmacy
sophomore Laura Schneider.
“Sometimes I'll go work out
to try to make myself feel
better.“

Hignite said his workout
routine is absent during the
month of December. “I don't
have a place to lift back at
home," he said.

But experts said that
something is better than
nothing.

“Try to keep somewhat
active. like taking a walk.
rather then lying on the
couch for the entire break."
Kindy suggested.

It's much easier to incor-
porate a little exercise when-
ever you can. instead of
spending hours in the gym
every day after the New Year,
Ditsch said.

Ditsch also said eating
slowly allows more time to
savor the food's flavor and
can prevent overeating.

But don't obsess:

“Life is too dynamic to
worry about a couple of
days." Ditsch said. “During
the holidays. food is more
about an experience and cul~
ture than it is about fueling
our bodies. I believe we need
to realize that a little self-in-
dulgence. with some com-
mon sense. can be good for
us.

Campus survey useful
tool to promote safety

There are few concerns on campus more im-
portant than student safety. Sexual assualt and
abuse reports this semester and this past sum-
mer have made concerns about safety all the
more poignant in the minds of students, the
families of students, staff and faculty.

Police work to protect students by looking for
attackers. but sometimes it doesn’t feel like
that's enough for the students who worry about
it on their way to and from campus. It is easier
to feel more prepared and safe if people are
proactive before attacks ever happen. The stum-
bling block is. to be more proactive we all have
to work to understand the problem and we need
more information about the issues on campus.

Hopefully a new survey being conducted
about the vicitmization of women will help. The
UK President's Commission on Women, the Di-
vision of Student Affairs and the Center for Re-
search on Violence Against Women are planning
a joint project addressing the threat of sexual
abuse at UK. The group will survey female stu-

dents to help look at prevalance, risk factors and
attitudes about different types of sexual vio-
lence and abuse.

The participants’ identities will be protected
but the results of the survey will be shared with
police, those who work with victims and accord-
ing to Pat Terrell, the vice president of Student
Affairs, the results will be shared with
the public.

Sharing the information with the public is a
key to trying to prevent these types of crimes
from happening. If students know where the
most dangerous places on campus might be and
how they could try to protect themselves, the
threat of attacks ever happening is likely to de-
crease. Understanding perceptions about sexual
abuse could help thwart stigmas attached to
these types of crimes.

Information is the most valuable tool we
have at our disposal when it comes to creating a
safe campus. The women’s survey is a step in
the rig
