“He acted like he was with the fraternity and this was
how you join the fraternity." said Cmdr. Travis Manley with
UK Police‘s Communications and Information Services.

Moore is not a member of the fraternity the victim is
pledging.

Manley said Moore tied the victim to a tree, took pic-
tures of him and fondled him.

Moore then untied him and told him to run around the
baseball field while he drove away. Manley said.

Manley said the victim was not seriously harmed.

Moore was arrested on April 3 and released the next day
on $5.000 bail.

Iraqis in Michigan paraded through the streets wav-

nation greeted signs that Saddam Hussein's regime is
crumbling with tears of joy

Worries about relatives in their homeland per-
sisted, but a wave of relief washed over many in the
Iraqi-American community Wednesday as they saw
news reports of collapsing opposition to US. troops
in Baghdad.

“This is a day we‘ve been waiting for 35 years,” said
Feisal Amin Al-Istrabadi, a Chicago lawyer who went in
late to work after watching events unfold on television.
“It's a tremendous relief that it seems that this is the be-
ginning of the end. I‘m very. very proud to be an Ameri-
can today. as well as an Iraqi."

Spontaneous celebrations broke out in cities with
large Iraqi-American populations. In Dearborn, Mich.,
about 1,200 people gathered in Hemlock Park, chanting
and waving British, American and Iraqi flags. In El Ca-
jon, Calif, home to about 6,000 Iraqi Kurds, about 150
people rejoiced in the streets. And in Everett, Wash.,

Earlier in Dearborn, a largely Arab Detroit sub-

Nature writing program open for applications

By Katie Foley
CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Aspiring writers can take
their work into an outdoor
classroom this summer.

The Summer Environ-
mental Writing Program is a
fbur-week pastoral retreat
into Eastern Kentucky‘s
Robinson Forest. Applications
for the new nature writing
program are due Friday

The program encourages
any undergraduate who is in-
terested in writing ~ whether
they are a poet or a science
writer — to spend time im-
mersed in nature while par-
ticipating in both intense
group activities and solitary
writing time. not to mention

rubbing elbows with promi-
nent writers and naturalists.

The program is designed
to bring students into a set-
ting that evokes thought and
reconnects them to the strong
ties that bind writing and
ecology. said Randall Roorda.
an English professor and pro
gram director

Roorda said it is his "con-
viction that reading. writing.
and living shouldn‘t be sepa-
rate.“ that inspired him to
start this program. along with
the success of a similar pro-
gram he was involved with in
New England. He wants this
program to become a tradi~
tion at UK.

The program is also one
way students can show their

support for Robinson Forest.
located an hour and a half
southeast of Lexington in
Breathitt County. The land
was donated to UK by ED.
Robinson. a Cincinnati tim-
ber baron. UK has recently
considered mining and log-
ging the forest, a move that
has been haunting the minds
of nature lovers and environ-
mentalists alike.

Roorda said he hopes stu-
dents will take away a deeper
understanding of the forest
and of themselves ~ and
what direction they want to
take their writing abilities.

“An experience like this
can prove to be transforma-
tional for someone‘s life.“
Roorda said.

Roorda said he hopes this
experience will expose stu-
dents to the many uses of a
wildlife space. especially one
that is in danger of being
logged.

He wants students to see
the forest in an environmen-
tal and social context and rec-
ognize the value that the for-
est holds for all disciplines.

The program costs $500.
which includes room, board.
and all other trip expenses.

“It‘s a domestic study
abroad." Roorda said.

The deadline for all appli-
cations is Friday. but late ap»
plications will be accepted if
a quota is not reached. Dr. Rn
orda hopes for 12 to 15 student

participants.

 

 

 

activists who research

By Marti Lee
STAFF WRITER

Angelyn DeBord wants to bring the
Appalachian voice alive through story-
telling.

Sanjoy Hazarika. who comes from an
Indian community that. like Appalachia.
has long been stereotyped. wants to help
fight media bias.

And Lynne Faltraco wants to link 10.
cal forestry activists with experts who
support their causes.

These three activists are getting the
time and money to reach these goals
through a new fellowship program creat-
ed by the UK Appalachian (‘enter and
Committee on Social Theory.

DeBord. from Nicklesville. Va. is a
performing artist who has taught story-
telling workshops for more than 25 years.
She has been working on a story-sharing
project during her fellowship and has been
holding workshops at UK. Her work stress-
es the importance of citizens and commu-
nities developing a voice of their own.

“The voice of Appalachia has been
ridiculed historically. and telling your
own story is the first step in communi-
ty’global awareness." DeBord said. 'Go-
ing unheard has huge political and eco-
nomic ramifications."

House passes gun legislation

WASHINGTON The House on
Wednesday passed legislation to protect the
firearm industry from lawsuits that allege
links between gun marketing and street vio-
lence. House Republicans said the industry
is being attacked through frivolous suits
blaming gun manufacturers and dealers for
violence by criminals The suits could end
the American gun industry by making com-
panies spend millions in court. said the
chairman of the House Judiciary Commit-
tee. Rep. James Sensenbrenner. R-Wis..
The legislation passed the House by a 285-
140 vote. Democrats. however. said the GOP
legislation banning suits against gun mak-
ers and dealers probably was unconstitu-
tional and was politically motivated. "This
body is considering this bill today because
the National Rifle Association is holding
their annual convention at the end of April
and the majority leadership in this Cham-
ber is compelled to prove to the pro-gun spe-
cial interests that they will do whatever it
takes." said Rep. James McGovern. D—Mass.
The legislation would prohibit lawsuits
from being brought against gun and ammu-
nition manufacturers. distributors. dealers
and importers for damages resulting from
"misuse" of their product.

Questions of
war still left
unanswered

What's next?: As war continues, coalition forces
look for U.S. POWs, Iraq's terrorist links, weapons

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Where are the IIS. POWs‘.’ Where are the chemical. bi
ological or nuclear weapons? How extensive were Iraq's
ties to terrorists‘.’

As the Iraqi regime crumbles. much more remains
unknown than Saddam Hussein's fate. Even as the battles
continue. coalition forces are seeking answers to these
questions.

One grisly clue appeared blood stains and bullet
holes on uniforms found :it an Iraqi prison. believed to be
of recent American prisoners of war.

"They were U.S. uniforms. And there were names on
some." said Brig. Gen. Vincent Brooks. deputy director of
operations. But where the POWs are is still unknown. he
said.

Barrels found at an agricultural site south of Bagh»
dad n where preliminary tests indicated the possibility of
chemical weapons ,. have been sent for thorough tests.

Questions about terrorist links to Saddam's regime
have yet to be nailed down. Troops. however. braced for
the possibility of more suicide attacks while the military
seeks to consolidate control over cities with sporadic re-
sistance.

And a big battlefield question is also worrying U.S. mil-
itary and administration officials: What happened to Sad-
dam's troops? A US. official involved in both iiiilitai’ydopera
tions and intelligence said there are thousands of Iraqi
troops unaccounted for raising ominous questions.

“That's the scary part." said the official. who spoke on
condition of anonymity “We don't know where these guys
went to. Did they just melt into the population? Are they
planning to come back out as paramilitary? Are they lay—
ing in wait?”

Some slowly and some quickly. the answers are com»
ing. said analysts and retired military. “Some of this can
take weeks or months to sort out. depending how well the
regime concealed it." said Anthony Cordesman. a mili-
tary analyst at the Center for Strategic and International
Studies.

“You have access to the records and access to the peo-
ple." he said. “Whatever is there. sooner or later is going
to come out."

Not that the military was taking its time. Defense Sec-
retary Donald H. Rumsfeld on Wednesday announced un-
specified rewards for Iraqis who provide information about
government officials and weapons of mass destruction.

“Rewards are available to those who help us prevent
the disappearance of personnel, documentation and mate-
rials." he said at a Pentagon news conference.

The challenges are proliferating rapidly: the need for
order amid looting and lawlessness. the threat of would-
be suicide attackers. the first steps toward civilian gov-
ernment.

The communications dis-

also has new features for

A clinical setting on the
first floor is designed with
state-of-the-art examining
rooms. The rooms have two-

sided mirrors for student
learning and patient obser.
vation. One side of the mir-
ror is a long narrow room
filled with tables. chairs and
headsets. Communication
disorder students can sit in
this room and observe an up-
per division student as that
student examines a patient.
“This gives us an idea of
what we will be doing once
(we are) in graduate school."
said Jessica Edlen. a commu-
nication disorders senior.

Other rooms for the com-
munication disorders students
are completely soundproof.
with two solid doors, one in
front of the other. to assure
that nothing can be heard.
These rooms are also designed
with two-sided mirrors for stu-

dent observations.

Such rooms. along with
the new distance-learning
classrooms. have made stu
dents and faculty excited
about the new building.

Before the building be-
came reality. classes were
spread across campus. with
some in the College of Nurs—

mer College of Health Sci-

Several students said one
of the best characteristics of

could store all of their be-
longings between classes. Stu-

“I can relate to Ap

for her activism for sustain-
able forestry practices in rur-
al North Carolina, where she
founded and organized the

Concerned Citizens of
Rutherford County. This
group’s opposition to wood
chip mill construction and op
eration in the county became
a model for networking and
community organization.

During her fellowship.
Faltraco. from Union Mills.
N.C.. has been collaborating
with professors and scientists
at UK. particularly the
forestry department. as well
as academia in Appalachia.
Her goal is to create a manual
to help connect people and
make sure they can access the
information and experts that
other activist groups need to
support their cases.

Herbert Reid. director of
the Appalachian Center and
a political science professor.

said Appalachia have been
the target of industry prac-
tices which may or may not
be good for the community.
He said that local activists
can help people have a say in
what happens in their com-
munities.

“We are concerned with
how community-based ac-
tivist groups in Appalachia
and around the world are re-
sponding to economic global-
ization." he said. “These
groups offer a more democ-
ratic approach for communi-
ties. and we are looking at
what is necessary for them to
be more effective and coordi-
nated in their efforts.“

The program received a
grant for close to $325000 from
the Rockefeller Foundation

and close to 381.000 from the
UK Arts and Sciences Depart-
ment and Graduate School.
The goal is to help ac-
tivists create roadmaps for
other grassroots groups to
follow. so that they also influ-
ence long-term planning.
Each fall. Reid and Wolf-
gang Natter offer a seminar
through UK Graduate School.
giving students a chance to
talk with the fellows and
learn from their projects.
“I‘m here as an ambas-
sador. My goal is collabora-
tion." Faltraco said. “The
academics here have the in-
formation. and have ex-
pressed an interest in shar-
ing it. so that communities
can fix what is in bad shape
and think about the future."
