Since ladies have to deal
with fun things such
as childbirth, cycles
and overactive tear
ducts, I figure that a
rail devoted to
bashing the opposite
sex is fair. so here
are some jokes about
guys.

Why do men prefer
blondes?

Men always like
intellectual company.

Why do men like love at
first sight?

It saves them a lot of
time.

A woman at 35 thinks of
having children. What
does a man at 35
think of?

Dating children.

How can you tell soap
operas are fictional?

In real life, men aren‘t
affectionate out of
bed.

What should you give a
man who has
everything?

A. A woman to show him
how to work it.

B. Penicillin

Why do black widow
spiders kill their
males after mating?

To stop the snoring
before it starts.

Why don't men have mid-
life crises?

They stay stuck in
adolescence.

How does a man show
he's planning for the
future?

He buys two cases of
beer instead of one.

How is being at a singles
bar different from
going to the circus?

At the circus the clowns
don't talk.

Why are husbands like
lawn mowers?

They're hard to get
started, emit foul
odors. and don't
work half time.

Why is sleeping with a
man like a soap
opera?

Just when it's getting
interesting. they're
finished until next
time.

What is the difference
between a man and a
catfish?

One is a bottom-feeding
scum-sucker and the
other is a fish.

What did God say after
creating man?
i can do better.

Why do men want to
marry virgins?

They can’t stand
criticism.

What do you call an
intelligent man in

America?
A tourist.

Tobacco industry victorious

Supreme court rejects
Clinton initiative, FDA not
authorized to regulate

STAFF AND WIRE REPORT

WASHINGTON The government
lacks authority to regulate tobacco as an
addictive drug. the Supreme Court said
Tuesday. throwing out the Clinton ad-
ministration‘s main anti-smoking initia-
tive.

The 5-4 ruling. a victory for an indus-
try under pressure from numerous law-
suits. said Congress did not authorize the
Food and Drug Administration to regu-
late tobacco. President Clinton and others
immediately said Congress should pass a
law letting the FDA reinstate its rules

cracking down on cigarette sales to minors.

But Mark Smith, spokesman for
Louisville. Ky.-based Brown &
Williamson Tobacco Corp. welcomed the
ruling.

“Business and industry throughout
the nation ought to breathe a sigh of re-
lief. The highest court in the land has
confirmed that a federal agency cannot on
its own go beyond its limits of authority
set by C ongress." he said.

UK Law professor Paul Salamanca
said. “I think it‘s fairly obvious that the
Supreme Court believes that the ball is in
Congress' court.“

Salamanca added that. speaking as a
private citizen and not a lawyer. he does-
n't foresee Congress passing any laws
concerning the ruling this year. This is
an election year. so it is unlikely any—
thing will be done in 2000.

“I think if students know about it, they will be against it.“

Wethington said he read the letter from the LSU.

“The students have identified a very serious issue and one
that the University is concerned about,” Wethington said.

He said he sympathizes with the students concerns. and
that he is on the same page in that regard.

UK joined the FLA last year because they were concerned
and wanted to be part of a national effort to stop the produc-
tion of university appearal by sweatshop workers, Wethington

He thinks it would be premature for UK to withdraw

“The University has evaluated FLA. We have not given it
enough time to see if it is effective.” Wethington said.

At one point. Rupp Arena stood to re

But the Senate version of the budget.
which only surfaced Wednesday night
when it was approved by the Appropria-
tions and Revenue Committee with only
Republican votes. is built on shaky ground.
budget director .Iim Ramsey said.

That effort from the Senate eliminates
funding for many programs. including the
Louisville orphanage and items from
grants to volunteer fire departments to help
in n novating Rupp Arena in lexington.

l‘he Senatey ersion of the budget has a
balance of only about $25 million the first
fiscal year and less than $3 million the sec-
ond and Ramsey said there is no continu-
ing revenue stream to pay off any bonding
that might be done,

Republicans. though. seemed to take
care of themselves in some small way. A
part-time secretary to a judge in the dis-
trict of Senate budget chairman Richie
Sanders. RFranklin. was made a full-time
employee. The Senate spending bill also in-
creased the allowance for senators to buy
stationery tenfold and nearly doubled the
amount of staff members allotted to the Senate.

byville. “But kingdoms don‘t last very long."

House Democrats. who were joined by
a number of Republicans in voting for

the session could end without a state
spending plan.

But Williams said Republican senators
will negotiate in good faith. “We're not go

Diversity present in SGA campaigns

By Jermaine Johnson
CONTRIBUTING WRITER

African-American students are step-
ping up to grasp the reigns of leadership,
50 years after Lyman T. Johnson opened
the doors for African-American students
at UK.

In the spring of 1999 Jimmy Glenn be-
came the first African-American president
of the Student Government Association. A
year after Glenn's victory. his opponent
for reelection is SGA Senator Keisha
Carter and running mate Charmaine Neal.
both African-American students.

Glenn commented that the Spring 2000
election is an indication of progress.

“it shows how far we have come. stu-

dents are electing the best people no mat-
ter what race." Glenn said. “it takes the
first person to show that it can be done
it helps students to see other African—
Americans succeeding. and I hope others
decide to throw their hats in the ring."

Carter also sees the election as a sign
of growth.

“It‘s a landmark for two African-
American students to run for SGA presi-
dent 50 years after the first black was ad-
mitted. “ said Carter. “We have the voice
to make a change so other don‘t have to
face problems we did. everybody needs to
strive to make it easier for future students."

Glenn and Carter have long histories
of involvement in SGA and hope to bring
their individual perspectives to the position.

Carter decided to run for office be-
cause of the urging of students who appre
ciated her commitment as Senator and her
displeasure with the “deterioration of SGA
in the past four years."

“My tnain focus is to bring cohesive-
ness back to SGA and to reform lost or
crumbling services such as legal services."
said Carter. The broadening of UK Food
Services is also an issue of Carter's platform.

In his first term. Glenn was successful
in increasing money to students. establish
ing a link to a teacher evaluation website.
increasing more student participation in
the selection of teaching assistants. lf re-
elected Glenn looks to tackle new issues
like UK‘s current alcohol policy. and old
issues like student basketball tickets.

Although minority representation in
SGA has increased. the candidates believe
representation is low campus-wide and
both would like to see the university rea
llect state levels ofdiversity.

With two African-American students
running for SGA president. many students
believe that UK may be on its way to
greater minority representation. and seri-
ous consideration of other views and mi-
nority groups. Still others question
whether having a president that is part of
the minority matters.

“As the campus and community diver
sifics you need more views. but who's to
say .limmy Glenn will do more than a non
minority student." said Emmanuel Lee.

Senate Majority Leader
Trent Lott. R-Miss.. said some
people will want to give the
FDA authority to regulate to-
bacco. but said. "I'm not one of
those. I don't think they do a
very good job with what
they're doing."

House Majority Leader
Dick Armey. R-Texas. added.
“I'm not anxious to extend the
power and authority to the FDA."

Some UK students had no
objections to the FDA gaining

more control. however.

"Tobacco is unhealthy. so
I welcome any regulation."
said Cody Nurenberg. elemen-
tary education junior.

The FDA said for decades
that it lacked authority to reg-
ulate tobacco so long as ciga-
rette makers did not claim that
smoking provided health bene-
fits. But it reversed itself in
1996. citing new evidence that
the industry intended its prod
acts to feed consumers' nico-
tine habits.

Tobacco companies sued.
and the 4th US Circuit Court
of Appeals ruled in 1998 that
Congress did not authorize the
FDA to regulate tobacco.

Student wins honor: Violinist Sarah Hitch will be featured in
the next UK Symphony performance

B_y_ Patrick Avery

SIAFF NRlliR

Soothing strings. willowing winds. A
woman stands at the center of the stage. fo-
cused intently on her strings.

Her music is polished and refined. inte-
grated with the sounds of the orchestra
playing behind her. The lights slowly dim.
and the small audience gasps at the extra-
ordinary strains radiating from her instru-
ment.

Decked in hats and T-shirts. the UK
Symphony rehearses for its 8 pm. perfor
mance tonight in the Concert Hall at the
Singletary Center.

The performance will feature Sarah
Hitch. a member of the UK Symphony.
playing her violin.

Sarah received this honor when she
won the University Orchestra Concerto
award this spring.

This award is just one of the many
highlights in her stellar. blossoming young
career.

Growing up in Villa Hills. Kentucky.
Sarah began playing the violin when she
was three and a half years old.

"My older brother was playing. so I
soon followed." Sarah said.

Sarah has been tatight by a teacher
from the (‘iiicinnati (‘onservatory of Music
since she was three. Since she began. she
has been disciplined to practice two hours
a day.

At the age of 10. she knew that she
wanted to take violin playing a little more
seriously.

There was no orchestra with violins at
her school in Villa Hills so. in addition to
private lessons. Sarah played in a small
chamber group during the weekends.

Sarah knew that she was ready for the
many music opportunities upon her arrival
at UK.

She was awarded the Louis Award. the
premiere scholarship award for an incom»
ing freshman.

Maintaining her academic perfor-
mance is also a priority. However. it does
not look too difficult.

“All of my classes are music-oriented
so it doesn' t affect my academics that
much Sarah said 'All l have to do is
pr ac tic e."

Dan Mason. one of Sarah‘s music pro-

ӎiminq off with a Hitch

fessors. speaks highly of her.

“She is extremely talented ” Mason
said. She has an excellent background and
has worked with excellent teachers. Her
play mg has become musically satisfying.

aSrah also belieyes that she is improv
mg.

“I am becoming more satisfied with my
play mg " Sarah said. "I am enjoying it

more than I used to. I just relax more and
have fun. I expected a
lot of myself when I
first got here."

Professor Mason
also complimented
Sarah on her selfdeter-
mination.

"She demands lots
of herself." Mason said.
“She is one of those peo
ple that has to please
herself. She doesn't lim-
it herself to what other
people expect of her."

Sarah feels honored
to be in the position she
is in and has future aspirations with her vi-
0111).

“I am not sure what I want to do after
college. but I do know I want to do some—
thing with music.“ Sarah said. "I just feel
fortunate to be able to represent the orches-
tra on stage."

Slinky
newest
inductee in
Toy Hall of
Fame

SALEM, Ore. (AP) - The
Slinky has wobbled
its way into the
National Toy Hall of
Fame.

The toy, along with the
jump rope. the
bicycle, jacks and Mr.
Potato Head, was
designated
Wednesday as a new
inductee into the hall
at the AC. Gilbert
Discovery Village in
Salem.

Salem was the birthplace
of Gilbert, a medicai
doctor and toy
master whose
inventions include
the Erector Set and
Gilbert chemistry
sets.

This year's selections
were chosen from a
field of 34
nominations by a
panel of educators
and civic leaders that
included Sharon
Kitzhaber, wife of
Oregon Gov. John
Kitzhaber.

This is the third year for
the Hall of Fame
awards. Toys put into
the hall in the past
include the hula
hoop, frisbee,
marbles, Play-Don,
Barbie, Lincoln Logs,
Lego and the game
Monopoly.

The Slinky was invented
by accident. A marine
engineer, looking for
a spring to counter
the rocking of ships
at sea, knocked an
experimental spring
off a shelf and
noticed it didn't fall,
but crawled to the
floor.

Agreement
prevents
deputies
from
viewing
pornos

LAKE CITY, Fla. (AP) -
Sheriff‘s deputies
here no longer have
to watch thousands
of hours of porn.

Officials had anticipated
having to spend
weeks viewing all
1,304 videotapes
confiscated from the
Adult Movie Video to
determine if they
were legally obscene.

instead, according to an
agreement between
prosecutors and
store owner James D.
Cox. the tapes will be
destroyed in
exchange for Cox not
being charged.

Columbia County
sheriff's deputies
seized the tapes Feb.
25 after a citizen
complaint. Cox said
Tuesday the tapes
were nothing more
than cable-version,
adult-oriented
movies.

“l still don't think I did
anything wrong." Cox
said.

At issue was whether
the videotapes
violated community
standards regarding
obscenity, but there
are no written
guidelines that
determine what
community standards
exist.

Prosecutor Jeff
Siegmeister said his
office wanted to get
the materials out of
the community and
avoid a lengthy and
costly trial.

Poem highlights excitement
of Rupp's “Battle Field"

(Editor's note: This poem was sent by Matt St. Peter, a young student
of an Ohio middle school. Matt admits that he has never been in ltupp
Arena in person to experience till College Basketball first-hand.
However, in a letter to the editor, Matt said that he wrote the
following poem, ”according to what I think it should feel like."
Sometimes as students, faculty and staff at till, we take for granted
Rupp Arena and the basketball experience that this young man so longs
to witness first hand. And although llll's basketball season is over, we
at the Kernel hope you can share in the vision of till Basketball that
Matt has written for us.)

To the Editor:

Battle Field

 

The energy and emotions are high.

 

The crowd is pumped.

PETA’s anti-milk campaign
should not promote booze

What substance kills brain cells. is a catalyst for
rape and causes more car wrecks than talking on cell-

phones? Alcohol.

However. the animal rights group PETA (People simulations m exist.

for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) doesn‘t see

things this way.

Their new ad campaign A “Got Beer?“ en-
courages everyone. students in particular. to choose
beer over milk because dairy products are
harvested in a way that is hurtful to cows.
Plus. PETA says beer is healthier. with few-

er calories. cholesterol and fat per serving.

I‘m quite glad that PETA has pointed
this out Vernow I may avoid those nasty milk
hangovers that can last for days. Also. gone are the
days when I may be caught bonging milk. No more

milk mustaches for me!

I ’ cool."

‘ PETA is appealing to our vanity with the

" “beer is healthier" argument. but is this
enough to have Cap‘n Crunch swimming in

This is not an attack on PETA's values or vege-

things. Without PETA. the public wouldn't know that

about us?
