Are you
ready?

The countdown has now
started in earnest.

Spring break officially
begins in just three
more class days, four
if you are reading
this in your 8 am.
class trying not to
fall asleep.

Unofficialiy, it starts in
like one-and-a-half
days or something
close to it.

Here are some things
that I am sure people
are doing in
preparation for the
upcoming break:

~Eating any and all dairy
products so that
there will be no
gangrenous science
projects asking you
how your trip was
and then trying to
bite you when you
try to throw them
out.

-Starving yourself for
two or so important
reasons. i. To save
money, you are
eating one serving of
Lipton noodles a day,
along with a cold cut
sandwich for the
same reasons as the
milk above. 2. If I
starve myself now. I
will be so skinny and
sexy that everyone
will want me. Not a
good idea. Don't do
this. It is stupid. Get
help. This is not a
joke. Starving
yourself does not
equal higher self-
esteem. Trust me, we
did the theorem in
Calculus of the Body.

— Students who just got
a membership to
some gym. The
rationale: if 1 am
really disciplined, I
will have those abs
and legs by the end
of this week. The
only thing you will
actually have is sore
muscles and a lighter
wallet.

- People are going out
on fewer dates this
week. Why? Because
people would rather
pay the cover at a
bar next Tuesday
than buy their date a
salad now. What pigs.

— Others are skipping
their 11 o'clock
classes so that they
won’t be late to their
noon appointment at
the plasma center.

- Three words: Selling
your sperm.

— "It's fake and bake.
and these cancer
beds helped."

- Some have forty
dollars and two extra
inches around their
waist. What are they
going to do? Body
Wrap!

Super Tuesday.

“It sounds like a 99 cent
cheeseburger special,” replied
George Zorn, undecided sopho-
more, when asked what that term
meant.

Super Tuesday, as today was
dubbed, is the day in a presiden-
tial election where many impor-
tant primaries take place on one
day.
“Super Tuesday is only spe-
cial because of the number of del-
egates in the states holding the
primaries," said Donald Gross,
UK political science professor.

The states at stake this Super
Tuesday are California, Connecti-
cut. Georgia, Maine, Maryland.
Massachusetts. Missouri, New
York. Ohio, Rhode Island and
Vermont. California and New
York, the two states with the
most delegates. prove very impor-
tant in deciding what candidate
will be chosen to run at the party

‘ conventions.

Professor Gross believes that
this day will prove to be more im-
portant to the Democratic Party.

“If (Bill) Bradley does not
win New York, it's over." Gross
said. .

UK political science profes-
sor Richard Fording agrees with
professor Cross.

“The Democrats definitely
have more at stake on Tuesday.
Gore should establish himself as
the leading candidate.“ Fording
said.

However Fording points out

Bradley

that the Republicans also consid-
er this an important day for their
party.

“This is McCain‘s last chance
to stay in the race," Fording said.
“He can do well in the non-South-
ern states like New York and
Ohio. But (today) he faces the pri-
maries in Florida and Texas.
where he is sure to lose.“

The two professors differ on
the significance of Super Tues-
day.

When asked whether this
was a D-Day of sorts for the elec-
tion, professor Gross said that he
thought it was, though more so in
the Democratic Party because
Bradley has yet to win much.

Professor Fording believes
that today will prove more impor.
tant to this election.

“Tuesday. Mar. 14 will proba-
bly be the actual turning point of
this election. The primaries in
Florida and Texas will probably
put McCain away. Bush will
probably sweep those states."

The importance of today’s
primaries was clearly evident
yesterday, as the four top candi‘
dates of the Democrats and Re-
publicans campaigned for last
minute votes.

A feisty John McCain labeled
Republican rival George W. Bush
“so Clinton-esque it's scary."
while a subdued Bill Bradley said
he must “win a couple of states"
as both underdogs looked to re-
vive their presidential campaigns
in a Super Tuesday showdown.

In the more competitive race
of the two, both Bush and McCain
were making a final push yester-

Greenspan wary on economy

WASHINGTON ~-- Federal Reserve Chair-
man Alan Greenspan said yesterday that if the
high-flying stock market loses some of its zip,
that will help slow the supercharged US econo-
my to a more sustainable pace. He indicated the
central bank would help that process along with
more interest rate increases if necessary. Speak-
ing at Boston College on his 74th birthday about
the "New Economy.” Greenspan said there might
be an inflation crisis unless growth slowed to a
more sustainable level. He said red-hot consumer
demand. which has been met increasingly by im-
ported goods. had driven the nation's trade
deficit to unsustainable levels.

Thomas Bruder. 33. were found guilty of lying to
investigators to conceal Schwarz's role in the
1997 attack on Abner Louima, who suffered se-
vere internal injuries. The officers could get up
to five years in prison. Schwarz also could get life
in prison when he is sentenced for his 1999 con-
viction on charges of holding down a handcuffed
Louima as fellow Officer Justin Volpe sodomized
him with a broken broom handle.

Jet Skids Off Runway in California

BURBANK. Calif. A Southwest Airlines
called it the worst accident in its 29-year history.
but two days after a jet carrying 142 people hur-
tied off a runway and skidded to a stop just short

what could have happened than what did hap—
pen. After landing at Burbank from Las Vegas,
Flight 1455 screeched through an airport fence
Sunday evening in a cloud of smoke and stopped
with its nose just 39 feet short of the gas pumps at
a Chevron station on Hollywood Way. The Boe-
ing 737-300 struck a car. pinning its hood under
the aircraft. but the driver and her 4-year-old
daughter weren‘t hurt. Fifteen passengers on the

“I remember feeling alien-
ated as a freshman. Students
are now ready to change this
campus. It is part of our educa-
tion and we feel we can teach
each other." she said.

But the administration
may be hesitant to change cur-
rent policies regarding free
speech areas.

“(Opening the areas)
needs to be done in a way that
doesn‘t restrict students.“
Stockham said. “If you‘re go-
ing to set up tables. you need a
space where you will not have
that problem. You‘re dealing
with a campus with a long tra-
dition of being neat and tidy."

The definition “neat and
tidy" may be open for debate.
Students said that a neat and
tidy campus is one where in-
teraction is frequent and unre~
stricted based on boundaries.
not one filled with new build-
ings and landscaping.

“It could also be a double-
edged sword.“ Herbst said.
“Unfortunately, how some or-
ganizations act may not be
true of other organizations.
One thing that we have to deal
with is. we don‘t want people
in the face of students on their
way to class."

While Stockham and
Herbst expressed interest in
the students’ ideas. they em-
phasized that allowing the use
of tables in areas previously
restricted to student use and
new free speech areas needs to
be manageable.

Surgery goes beyond vanity

By Chris Mus

A§§isriui7£Tvs EDIYOR

For some students. living
with a facial discrepancy or ab~
normality is just too much to
bear.

Many college students. es-
pecially women. have turned to
science to overcome the hand
nature dealt them.

Dr. S. Randolph Waldman
is the director of the Center for
Facial Plastic Surgery based in
Lexington.

Waldtnan has been practic»
ing facial plastic surgery for 17
years in Lexington and said
that he performs around 300
major operations annually.
About 80 percent of his clientele
are women. he estimates.

Lee Wells. an education se-
nior. was one of Waldman‘s pa-
tients.

Wells underwent a rhino-
plasty for reasons rooted in
both health and beauty.

Wells said that prior to her
surgery her nose had a large
bump in the middle and curved
upward at the end.

The shape of Wells‘ nose
made it hard for her to breathe
properly.

It also made her unhappy
with her own apix‘arance.

After the surgery. Wells‘
spirits were lifted. and she
breathed easier.

"I feel like people aren't
looking at me funny anymore.”
she said.

Wells said the benefits of
the surgery far outweighed the
cost.

"It was definitely well
worth the money. I'm much
more confident about my ap-
1warance." she said.

Some students question
plastic surgery as the answer to
problems linked to physical ap
pearance.

Heather Unthank. a man
seling psychology graduate stu-
dent. feels that the answer is
something more than just skin-
deep.

“I think that it‘s OK for
someone to have the surgery.
but there's probably something
deeper that makes them not like
themselves." she said.

But Waldman believes
there‘s more to plastic surgery
than correcting people's self-es-
teem shortcomings.

"We're doing minor proce-
dures on healthy people that

 

iIAIEiARL

just want to look a little better."
he said. "It (the operation) im-
proves someone‘s outlook on
life. It makes people feel good
about themselves."

Although going from a Ros-
anne to a Rebecca Gayheart
may sound appealing to some.
there are always risks involved.

Waldman said the best pre-
caution that one can take is to
carefully check out the doctor‘s
credentials and past perfor
mances.

However. Waldman said
that in general the risks in-
volved with most facial plastic
surgeries are minimal.

Wells said that she did ex-
perience some bruising and
swelling after her operation.
but in her opinion it was “no
big deal."

Waldman echoed Wells“
view saying that some swelling
and soreness are common side
effects of the procedure.

Perhaps the biggest obsta
cle that stands in the way of stu-
dents relying on plastic surgery
as a source of instant good looks
is the price tag.

Waldman said that a rhino
plasty alone costs between
$2.5thS-l000.

Bottle Bill dies on house floor

By Will Messer
STAFF WRITER

Due to strong opposition
and a lack of support. Rep. Greg
Stumbo ended his fight to pass
the Bottle Bill. opting instead
for a broadbased fee on retail
sales to fund statewide
cleanups and the Adopt-a-High
way program.

Stumbo now plans to make
all businesses with a sales-tax
identification number and
more than $100000 in gross an-
nual sales pay an environmen-
tal impact fee to raise $25 mil-
lion. which would largely be
used to pay for three yearly
clean—ups of every road in the
state.

Under Stumbo‘s new bill.
about 50.000 Kentucky busi-
nesses would have to pay the
fee.

The new plan would be
added to House Bill 1 as an
amendment.

Stumbo was forced to give

up his plan to make Kentucky
the eleventh state with refund
able container deposits because
fast-food restaurants. grocers
and soft-drink bottlers all op-
posed the bill and attacked it
with petitions and advertising.

The businesses claimed the
container deposits would hurt
profits and raise prices for con-
sumers.

Stumbo‘s supporters be-
lieve his new plan will aid the
state and environment almost
as much as his original bill.

“The only difference be-
tween the two is that the new
plan gives you no incentive to
not to throw trash out on the
road." said Barbara Rhodes. a
legislative assistant. “The new
plan will still make a big differ-
ence. because right now there
is only one statewide clean-up a
year."

Although there may only
be one difference between the
two bills. according to UK
students. the difference is a

big one.

“Now it won‘t do anything
for the enviroinnent in the long
run. and it won‘t rlo anything to
promote recycling." said Ryan
McGaugaghey. a secondary ed-
ucation sophomore.

Besides paying for annual
clean-ups. Stumbo plans on us:
ing the money to clean up ille-
gal dumps and contribute to the
Adopta-Highway program.

"He‘s going to give money
to the AdoptalIighway pro
gram and remove them from
the executive branch ethics
code which says they can‘t so-
licit funds from private organi-
zations." Rhodes said.

Although Stumbo's new
plan will benefit Kentucky if it
passes, some UK students are
still saddened that the original
bill (lid not pass.

“I really think it's sad that
we lost the deposits it's real-
ly tragic. There was nothing
wrong with that bill.“ said Jay
Varellas. a history junior.

California, Bush grab spotlight

ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO When
Californians choose between
A1 and Bill and John and
George W. Tuesday. they also
will decide whether the state
will validate gay marriages.

()f the 20 propositions on
the ballot dealing with a
slew of social and economic is-
sues Proposition 22 is gener~
ating the most heat.

The measure declares that
only marriages between men
and women are legally valid.

“It‘s been a more quiet
campaign but we certainly
have a lot of action over Propo-
sition 22.“ says Stanley W.
Moore. a political science pro~
fessor at Pepperdine Universi-
tV.

Democrats Bill Bradley
and Al Gore oppose the mea»
sure. while Republican John
McCain favors it. A regional
chairwoman for Republican
George W. Bush‘s campaign
said late last week that Bush
was “not taking a position" on
the initiative.

California doesn't recog-
nize same~sex marriages now.

but it does validate marriages
that are legal in the state
where they were performed.
Proposition 22. sponsored by
Republican state Sen. Pete
Knight. would prevent gay
marriages from being recog-
nized if they became legal in
another state.

The senator's gay son is
among the proposition's oppo-
nents.

Gay and lesbian groups
have said the measure will
bring their members to the
polls. But it also could mobilize
right—leaning opponents of gay
marriage. which could help the
Republican presidential candi-
date who can paint himself as
the most conservative. said
Shaun Bowler. an expert on
the initiative process who
teaches political science at the
University of California. River

Bush tails prey to
prankster

()TTAWA Stung by a
pop quiz about foreign leaders
earlier in his campaign. Re-

 

publican presidential candi-
date George W. Bush now has
fallen victim to a foreign af-
fairs prank.

(‘anadians are chuckling
over his on-air answer when a
comic posing as a reporter
made up a story that (‘anadian
Prime Minister “Jean Pou-
tine” had endorsed him. “I ap»
preciate his strong statement.
he understands I believe in
free trade.“ Bush replied.

"He understands I want to
make sure our relations with
our most important neighbor
to the north of us. the (‘anadi-
ans. is strong and we'll work
closely together." he contin-
ued.

(‘anada‘s prime minister is
Jean (‘hretieir not Poutine.
and he has endorsed no one in
US. politics. Poutine is a fast
food meal of french fries. gravy
and cheese curd popular in
French-speaking Quebec.

The stunt was pulled by
comic Rick Mercer from "This
Hour Has 22 Minutes." a satiri
cal TV show in Canada. The
(‘B(‘ program showed the ex-
change twice last week.
