Clifton doesn’t exist anymore.

Clifton Avenue that is, and Alpha Tau
Omega President Kevin Joynt and his brothers
no lon er have an address.

Ear ier this week, occupants of the Alpha
Tau Omega and Sigma Phi Epsilon social fra-
ternity houses woke to the pounding rhythm
of jackhammers.

At first, they were “pissed off at all the noise
going on," said Sig Ep Aaron Horton, an inter-
national business sophomore. But soon they
realized mail could not be delivered as usual.
And over the weekend a fire engine could not
get to the fire hydrant in front of their houses.

“It looks like Beirut,” ATO Treasurer
Brandon Scheldt, an undeclared sophomore,
said of the scenery outside the house. “We had
to wake up (early), and by noon, we find out we
don’t have a street.”

Because of the new construction and the
extended fencing, things such as mail delivery

have not been running as smoothly as usual,
Scheldt said.

For example, the fire department ran into a
speed bump over the weekend responding to a
possible fire at the Sig Ep house. Garry Beach,
UK fire marshal, said Fire Station No. 6 had
“temporary minor problems" reaching the Sig
Ep house for a false alarm over the weekend
because of the new construction.

“They missed the street when they were
heading out there,” he said. But the fire truck
quickly made its way around the block to Hill-
top Avenue to access the house from the back
and can use the fire hydrant near K-Lair grill.

Fire Stations No. 5 and No. 6 are now “well
aware” of the problem, Beach said.

Still, Scheldt asked, “Why should they have
to figure it out? They could’ve very easily been
informed."

Also, Scheldt said he didn‘t see how a fire
truck could be as effective from the back of the
house because of the parking lot behind each
ofthe houses. The ATO parking lot holds 30
cars, he said.

“They go whipping up the fence without
even thinking twice about it,” Scheldt said.
“Why couldn‘t they at least say, ‘Hey this is

Joynt said he knew the construction, which
is for a walkway to the new library, was going
to happen soon. but he wondered why nobody
told him it would be happening now. Then the
fraternities and church would have had time to
change their address to receive mail, he said.
Paul Anderson, the mailman for the fraternity
houses and the neighboring University
Heights Church of Christ, said he knew some-
thing was going to happen because he saw bills
posted on cars that they needed to be moved
by Sunday.

“I just went out there Monday, and it was
fenced." Anderson said. “lt’s not difficult to
deliver; just two more steps."

“This construction just seems to be getting
out of hand,“ Scheldt said. “My whole point is

Alzheimer’s
research ives
patients ope

By Kathy Beding

News Editor

The UK Sanders-Brown Cen-
ter on Aging researchers
announced further discoveries in
its Nun Study on Alzheimer‘s
disease.

While principle researcher
Dr. David Snowdon briefed
news media in New York yester-
day about the findings in the
jAIHA feature article, Dr.
William Markesbery discussed
them in Lexington.

The group of researchers
found that small and large
strokes are capable of producing
and intensifying Alzheimer’s
symptoms.

“The bottom line is if you
have Alzheimer's disease and
have even a small stroke, it can
make the cognitive damage
much worse,” Markesbery said.

“If you are pre—symptomatic
and have a small stroke, it
increases the chance of develop-
ing full symptoms."

Markesbery said researchers
previously thought slight strokes
can affect Alzheimer’s, but the
clinical research derived from the
Nun Study is the first scientific
proof that if patients have
Alzheimer’s and then suffer a
stroke, they are going to get
much worse.

“\Vhat it really boils down to
is you want to do your best to
prevent strokes," Markesbery
said.

Risks for a stroke include
hypertension. heart disease, dia-
betes. smoking. drinking alcohol
and using birth control pills.

Markesbery said hypertension
is the largest risk factor because
it causes small strokes that are
not always detected physically.

The strokes can be detected
clinically in the brain,
though, because they
cause lacunar infarcts,
or dead brain tissues.

liven one or two of
the small strokes may
increase the risk for
Alzheimer’s develop-
ment and the severity
of the symptoms once
they develop.

In women with one or two

percent of those with strokes.
Dementia occurred only in 57

Brewery sends
water to flood victims

VVILLIAMSBURG, Va. -— Anheuser-Busch's
Virginia brewery has come to the aid of Kentucky
flood victims with drinking water.

After getting a plea from Red Cross officials,
the brewery cranked out 2.4 million 12—ounce cans
of water in two days.

“It’s just the regular city water we use in our
brewing process," said Dennis Nesbitt. assistant

lant manager.

Helping the flood victims required five straight
eight—hour shifts, Nesbitt said, and was the plant‘s
largest disaster relief effort ever.

The 100,000 cases of water were sent to
National Guard facilities in Kentucky, where the
raging Ohio River last week flooded more than
75,000 homes and caused about $250 million in
damage.

Five trailers filled with white cans showing the
Anheuser-Busch blue eagle logo were unloaded
yesterday outside the Kentucky National Guard
facility near Greenville, said Warrant Officerjoe
Wilkins.

Wilkins said the water will be distributed to p , _
shelters in the area, where floodin has contami- .1 ~‘. :3. ,.
nated wells and water treatment faci ities. ‘ "

Another 42 trailers were headed to the National
Guard in Winchester.

Bats lintl runs
in home opener

By Chris Easterllno
Sports Editor

Home is where the heart is. ()r,
in the case of the UK baseball
team, where the runs are.

After scoring just l4 runs in
their last four games, the Cats
exploded in their home opener
yesterday, defeating Austin l’eay
H-O.

 

“It’s really nice
to be home,” UK
coach Keith Madi—
son said. “It was a
beautiful day to
play baseball and a
lot of the guys
came ready to
play. I didn't real—
ize how long We
had been on the road until I
walked out on the field today."

UK (3-10-1) burst open the
game in the first inning, scoring
four unearned runs off of Cover-
nors' starter Craig Smith. The
inning was capped off by a two-
run home run by sophomore des—
ignated hitterjosh Loggins.

Loggins, a transfer from l’ur—
due, added a three-run blast in the
fifth and finished 2—for-3 with five
runs batted in for the afternoon.

“It feels good to come out on
the other side," Loggins said.
“We’ve been struggling to get
leads and then keeping leads and
just putting people away when we
get a chance to. It wasn‘t anything
the pitcher was doing, it was just a
matter of us being back home
again and getting the chance to
swing the bats in our own park."

 

Madison

 

After the first, the on] thing
left for the Cats to accom lish was
to maintain the lead an get the
shutout.

Behind starter Eric Bishop,
who was making his first start of
the season, and reliever Aaron
McGlone, UK allowed onl four
hits and left a goose-egg in e vis-
itor’s column on the scoreboard.

“(Austin Peay) was a first~pitch
hack team, coach told me,” said
Bishop, whose 10.80 earned run
average is certain to go down. “So
I was mixing it up (with my itch-
es), trying to keep them 05-bal-
anced.”

Bishop struck out three and
allowed only three hits in his five
innings of work.

Making the task of shutting out
Austin Peay (8-6) even more diffi-
cult was the wind at Cliff Hagan
Stadium, which was blowing out
yesterday.

\l'hile it may not be Chicago’s
Wrigley Field, Madison said that
the wind can make the baseball
really jump off the bat. This has
even led some to give the field the
moniker “the Launchin Pad."

“To me, with win blowing
out, the impressive thing about
today‘s game is the shutout,"
Madison said.

"0188:

VThe Cats return to action
today, facin Ohio University at 3
p.m. at Cliffl‘lagan Stadium. The
game will be the 1,000th in Madi-
son’s 19-year coaching career.

“I've really been blessed,” he
said. “to think that I could coach

 

in 1,000 games without missing
one with illness or some other
catastrophe. It’s something that I
am just thankful to be a part of the
young men’s lives.”

Lefty Tim Rowland will get the
start on the mound for the Wild-
cats. OU is undecided on who will
start.

adjectives to et your ears primed

Hailing from Paris, Zap Mama
has stepped to the forefront of the

first two records. Originally a five-
member fever of vocal virtuosity,
Zap Mama has pared down to
three regular vocalists and a
changing cast of bassists, drum-
mers, and special guest Michael
Franti of Spearhead.

Some argue that the purity of
international folk music is only
polluted by the addition of mod-

Dualne layers in an amazin vocal

Gemini (May 21—June 20):
Three people mysteriously arrive
at your doorstep and claim they
live with you. You protest, but
they bar e in and make them-
selves at ome, eating your food
and talking on your phone.
When you try to physically force
them out, they decapitate you
and use your head for Wednes—
day night bowling.

Cancer (June 21-July 22): You
disease ridden fool! You incestu-
ous pig! Well, ou’re not that
bad, but a little hyperbole never
hurts.

when your nose falls off. You
really can’t do anythin about
this except bemoan the Fact that
when you look into the mirror
you look like an alien being.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): My,
you’ve been a nervous wreck late—
ly. Going off that massive dose of
tranquilizer wasn’t a great idea.
Not only are you comparable to a
quivering mass of Jell-O, but
you’re rather snappy, too.

Libra (Sept. 23—Oct. 22): On
your flight to wherever the hell
you’re going for spring break,
you manage to anger a flight
attendant. This wouldn’t be so
bad, but this person is married to
the pilot, who gives you two
choices. You can either jump out
ofthe plane, or eat all the airline
food. You opt for hurling your—

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): So
on made fun of the fat chicks in

because they have started a coali—

of others. But in your leprechaun
rounding haste, you grab a bunch
of sweaty Irish midgets who have
short tempers and a love of drink.

Capricorn (Dec. ZZ—Jan. l9):
You find a large pot of gold that
appears to be unattended. As you
are gathering this loot, a
deranged Leprechaun with fangs
takes off your left leg. You
touched his sacred, private stash,
and he does not have a sense of
humor.

Aquarius (Ian. 20-Feb. 18):
Your four-leaf clover fetish gets
out of hand. You proclaim your-
self as the magical four leaf
clover, able to grant any wish.
But your magical powers come
for a limited time only, leaving
the lar e, stupid people who
investe money into your knowl-
edge very angry. They rearrange

our limbs so that you really look
ike a clover and rub your head
every so often for luck.

Pisces (Feb. l9-March 20):
Every muscle in your body
becomes a tense coil that feels
like it will either snap or break.
Your body wants to make your
every waking moment a painful
experience and it is winning in a
big way.

Kernel COIIIIIIIIISIS
III'IIVB Bllltlll‘ Stupidity

To the editor:

Is the Kentucky Kernel edito-
rial staff mentally deficient? ()r is
it simply that you have nothing
else to print, so you think Ben
Rich’s inane excuses for articles
constitutes real journalism? Are
Vou under the impression that
because you are a “university”
paper, you do not need to impose
higher standards on columns? Do
you think that his hate articles do
not hurt anyone? If you had a
heart (or halfa mind), you would
realize the harm you are doing to
student relations on campus by

rinting this Neanderthal and
backward “writing.” I am refer-
ring to Rich’s articles defaming
homosexuals, UK NOW, women
in general and anyone who is not
