Not a threat: Desch says Israel's military
makes it safe from an independent Palestine

By Vaughan Fielder
STAFF WRITER

A UK professor shared
his belief that Israeli securi-
ty would not be in danger if
a separate Palestinian state
were established Tuesday
night at the Beaumont Cen-
ter Public Library.

“The only long-term so-
lution is the establishment of
a Palestinian state." said
Michael C. Desch, professor
and associate director of the
Patterson School of Diploma
cy and International Com-
merce. ”I think Israel is in
excellent shape in terms of
security"

Desch said there are two
reasons used to argue that a
separate Palestinian state
should not be formed: the se
curity of Israel and the belief

that Israel is entitled to the
West Bank through religious
texts.

Desch’s argument deals
with the ﬁrst argument of the
two: security. He said there is
no reason Israel should feel
threatened by the establish-
ment of a Palestinian state.

Daniel Chejfec, executive
director of the Central Ken-
tucky Jewish Federation,
does not agree with Desch.
He thinks that under the cur-
rent Palestinian authority
there is no hope for peace
with the establishment of a
separate state.

“I would be extremely un-
comfortable with any kind of
power given to Arafat and the
current leadership," Chejfec
said. He said Palestinians
should choose leadership that
would not threaten Israel.

Desch said that Israel
has the defender’s advantage.
a large number of nuclear
weapons and adequate rela-
tions with Egypt and Jordan.

“There is no convention-
al scenario in which Israel
will be defeated," he said.
“The nuclear weapons would
make the difference."

Desch emphasized the
ability of Israel to defend it-
self, though he says Israel has
a few liabilities in terms of
defense. He listed lack of
strategic depth. Iran and Iraq
seeking weapons of mass de-
struction and suicide bomb-
ings as possible problems.

Despite these drawbacks.
Desch said, holding onto the
territory that Palestinians
want does not do anything to
help these threats. In fact, he
argues. it makes them worse.

Several people at the
meeting agreed with Desch.

FBI scientist admits she lied
in Ragland pre-trial hearing

Sequel? Ragland's attorneys may seek
new trial after learning of false testimony

issocmtn mss

LEXINGTON — An FBI
scientist who testified dur-
ing Shane Ragland’s murder
trial has admitted that she
lied during a hearing held
earlier in the case. and
Ragland is seeking a new
trial as a result.

Agent Kathleen Lundy
has insisted that the
Ragland case is the only
time she has “ever been un-
truthful in any testimony,
report, or other professional
matter." according to inter-
nal FBI memos filed Friday
in Fayette Circuit Court.

Ragland was convicted
in March of murder in the
1994 sniper death of Univer-

sity of Kentucky football
player and honor student
Trent DiGiuro. Ragland was
sentenced to 30 years.

Lundy, suspended from
courtroom and FBI case
work after she revealed her
lie in April, is one of two
scientists who do compara-
tive bullet-lead analysis for
the agency

In Ragland‘s case.
Lundy testiﬁed that tests
suggested that the bullet re
moved from DiGiuro’s head
came from the same batch
as bullets found at Ragland's
house.

A defense witness, for-
mer FBI chief metallurgist
William Tobin, testiﬁed that

the tests were meaningless.

The lie Lundy says she
told was at a pretrial hear-
ing when Ragland was try-
ing to get bullet-lead tests
thrown out. There. Lundy
said that bullet manufactur-
er Winchester had remelted
all of the lead it received un-
til 1996 —— two years after
DiGiuro was murdered. In
fact, Winchester stopped
remelting lead in 1986. The
importance of the date dif-
ference to the Ragland case
is unclear.

"I cannot explain why I
made the original error
nor why, knowing that the
testimony was false. I failed
to correct it at the time,”
Lundy wrote in a May 28 in-
ternal FBI memo. I was
stressed out by this case and
work in general. I had been
under a great deal of profes-

sional pressure for over a
year and had considered
resigning."

Ragland attorney J.
Guthrie True alleged that
the Fayette County common-
wealth‘s attorney unjustly
“allowed the court and the
jury to rely upon uncorrect-
ed. perjured testimony"

Commonwealth's Attor-
ney Ray Larson disagreed.
“They got accurate testimo
ny at trial.“ he said. ”It was
at (a January) hearing that
her testimony was not cor-
rect. She knew that, but we
didn‘t know that. The defense
brought it out on cross-exam-
ination at trial and that’s
when they found out, we
found out, the jury found out
and everybody found out.

”They're doing what-
ever they can to get a new
trial."

Recently, the Kernel interviewed Lee Todd on
his first year as president —— his successes,
challenges, regrets and failures. The interview took
place in Todd’s car; as he went to attend a meeting
in Spindletop Hall.

.. What was your greatest achievement during your
ﬁrst year on campus?

.- 37 The main thing that stands out is getting the
energy and the spirit of campus among students, faculty
and staff; and I would include alumni among that. We’ve
set a path where people are excited to be a part of the
process to move the university forward. Meeting the
top-20 challenge is not just raising money, but also
helping to improve the state of Kentucky. If all we did
was pile up resources and money, but didn’t do things to
change the state of Kentucky, we’re not a top university
I’ve also enjoyed spending time with students. Patsy’s
(Patsy Todd, the president’s wife) involvement has also
been wonderful, and I've enjoyed that.

Most of all, lifting the spirit of the campus. Giving
a sense of progress has been the greatest contribution of
this ﬁrst year.

4} What was your biggest regret?

3% I regret the Administration Building burning
down, the tight budget, the basketball team losing its ﬁrst
two games in the SEC. Also, I wasn’t able to do every-
thing I wanted to do. After a while, frustration built up; I
realized I couldn’t do everything out there. I need to ﬁnd
a better way to control my time. You get so absorbed by
what other people want you to do, you sometimes forget
what you want to get done yourself.

£- What would you change about the ﬁrst year?

> I’m having a hard time thinking of anything to
change; I’m very pleased overall with the way things are
going. If I could have done more, I would have. Maybe I
could ﬁnd a way to sleep faster, or add a couple of hours
to the clock. I wish I spent more time with development.
It was a great first year getting the university ready to
present to donors and alumni for investment.

What are you most excited about in UK’s future?

We closed out last year’s grants and contracts, and
broke $200 million; $211 million, actually That’s up 21%
over last year. We've also increased enrollment for the
freshman class, and done it without sacriﬁcing admission
criteria. I want to see the Administration Building rebuilt;
it will feel good to see hammers and nails going to work on
the building. I am also appointing a vice president for
public service soon, to enact the “commonwealth mea-
sures” we have discussed. This is someone who will wake
up each day focused on interests within Lexington and
around the state. I'm also excited to have an AD in place.

Last year was a sort of preparatory year, changing
the tone and getting ready This is a year for the execu-
tion of what we’ve started.

What were your greatest challenges during the
ﬁrst year?

« . Dealing with the ﬁrst legislative session, and the
confusion around the higher education budget, was difﬁ-
cult and time~consuming The athletic situation, clearly,
was also demanding, facing the situation and making
changes in the athletic department. The Health Care
Task Force found a rational way to increase the money
available, the money paid for health insurance for our
families. That was a real plus. The budget, though a chal-
lenge, was met headon. We’ve got a good budget and a
strong ﬁscal nature to the university Though the budget
was cut 86 million, we didn't have to disrupt the depart-
ments. The budget ofﬁce and the treasury did a good job.

Q What does it feel like to be president?

A I used to walk around saying ‘I can’t believe I'm
president of UK.’ Recently, though, I‘ve noticed I haven’t
been saying that. The job fully sits in my lap There is a
tremendous responsibility to lead this university I am
constantly aware of both the prestige and the responsi-
bility that comes with this job.

budget or the costumes were
pieced together from whatev-
er people had at home.

I was in quite a few of
those kind of plays when I
was in high school. My Dra»
ma II class put on a memo—
rable production of Ray
Bradbury's classic science
fiction story The Martian

ese style of drama where the
actors paint their faces white
and wear black clothing. 0f-
ten the plays are silent. so no
lines are spoken. The style
relies on body language and
facial expressions to convey
the story line.

The. experience was in-
teresting. to say the least. Ac-

cording to my friends in the
audience. the play made no
sense whatsoever. Not only
were we not trained well in
the art of kabuki. but it is
nearly impossible to act out a
Bradbury story without
words. People couldn't even
tell which actors were Earth-
lings and which were
Martians!

We dressed all in black.
painted our faces white with
thick, viscous greasepaint
and strategically placed a
few black lights around the
stage. Apparently we didn't
have sufficient lighting. as
few people in the audience
could see many of the actors.
It was just as well. as the ac»
tors couldn‘t even see them

The worst part of the
play. coincidentally. occurred
after the curtain call. when
we had to remove our make-
up. The girl that had bought
the greasepaint failed to real
ize that you had to buy spe-
cial remover to wash the

Barnhart’s plan is
deeper than that. Can

Basketball: Due to last

don't think we'll have

too. From now on.
there will be no more
male or female sports.
The whole athletic
department is gomg
co-ed. which may or
may not hurt our
chances for a bowl
game.

Facilities: UK's facilities
are some of the best in
the nation. compared
to other schools. But
why stop there when
there are still
professmnal teams
looking down on us?
Barnhart already has
his eyes on a few
classroom buildings
that could be razed
and replaced with a
Super Dome.

Germany to get along!

Palestinian refugees should be resettled
in other countries and given citizenship.
Further immigration by both nationalities
into the two countries should be limited. as

are and will always be tiny countries with
limited resources.

Jerusalem should be made an interna-

UN troops without religious ties to the area

What can be done to draw students out

It takes courage to point out issues oth-

who feel motivated to discuss these issues.

UK should
support equa
rights for all

When I first read that two Ken.
lucky senators were threatening to
“disrupt“ funding for UK because of
session on lesbian

a proposed
health. I was infuriated.

I am a 22-year-old woman begin-
ning a family I am thankful that
health professionals have access to
information specific to my family‘s

needs.

I cannot imagine being denied

the latest and most accurate knowl-
edge about my speciﬁc health needs.
This is, in essence, what the senators were proposing.

I began to recall the patterns of oppression that hinder
gays and lesbians: lack of equal access to health beneﬁts, no
rights to legally marry. brutal criticism from hundreds of
communities and now a couple of state senators are suggest-
ing to remove their rights of freedom of expression in an

academic setting.

Sen. Borders wants UK to pull the sessionron lesbian
health that is being offered as part of the Women‘s Health
Conference in September. He thinks that the UK administra-
tion should speak out against the forum and extract it from

the program.

I think Sen. Borders‘ (R-Russell) ideas are closed-minded
and absurd. He is ignoring an entire group of people that is
just as deserving as any other group to have access to infor-
mation about their health needs.

In addition to Borders’ threats, Sen. Dick Roeding (R-
Lakeside Park) chimed in with his own generalizations about

women in Kentucky:

“How dare the university propose to recognize a lifestyle
that the vast majority of women in Kentucky do not agree
with?" he said in a letter to UK President Lee Todd.

It is unclear where Roeding obtained this figure. Can
Roeding back up this claim. or was it just a fact created to ﬁt
his argument? Who conducted the research that revealed the
aformentioned conservative ideology of Kentucky women?

I believe I am one of the many Kentucky women who
want all people to have equal rights and equal access to
health information. Just as people should not be denied spe-
cific health information based on their race or gender, people
also should not have to face discrimination based on their

sexual orientation.

It is my wish that the community as a whole will express
their displeasure and disagreement with the senators‘ views.
I hope that the community's distain will inﬂuence these men
and possibly help them gain a respect for family values and
the rights of all individuals to have access to the most cur-
rent information on their speciﬁc health needs.

We are now living in the let century These senators
should not let their own fears and prejudices control the pub-

lic‘s right to information.

I worried Todd would not support the session and won-
dered if he would stand by lesbi
