Former Kentucky Gov.

Breathitt could have chosen
to live a quiet life in Central
Kentucky after his term end-
ed in 1967.

But he didn‘t.

himself in academic activi-
ties to further higher educa-
tion. said Terry Birdwhistell.

Ford Research Center and
Public Policy Archives at UK.

“He was a great friend to
the university.“ said Bird-
whistell. “He served on the
Board of Trustees and be-
came actively involved as a
board member He was sup-
portive and involved in any
number of programs
throughout the university"

Author’s talesof Ky. life help freshmen adjust

Mine was not the Kentucky
of bluegrass. juleps. and cotil—
(ions; the Kentucky of my
youth was not of coal banks.
cratvdads and country music.

—- Linda Scott DeRosier 's
"Creeker"

Author Linda Scott
DeRosier described her life
growing up in Eastern Ken-
tucky to students who packed
Worsham theatre yesterday.

“My life was like a trailer
in a tornado, and I was in the
middle of it," said DeRosier.

DeRosier's book. "Creek-
er," was required reading for

UK 101 students this fall as
part of a pilot program.

“By taking baby steps you
can accomplish great things,"
she said. "Instead. people look
at a huge task and think they
can't finish it."

“Creeker” was chosen be-
cause it's themes of the pres-
sures of leaving home and
coming of age relate so well to
freshmen. said Phillip Krae-
mer. associate provost for un.
dergraduate education.

“The reading was meant
to help students adjust to the
university, since the structure
is so different here than high
school." Kraemer said.

UK 101 is an eight week
one-credit hour transitional

course designed to help fresh-
men adjust to college life.

“I could identify with her
not wanting to leave home and
because she was a Kentuck-
ian," said education major
and freshman Liz N ickerson.

Zach Bryson. a journal-
ism freshman. said he grew
up in Eastern Kentucky and
could relate to her stories. in-
cluding the stereotypes at-
tached to people in the have.

“She really motivated me
because she is such a suc-
cess." he said.

DeRosier was born in her
grandmother's log cabin in
the hills of the Appalachian
mountains and raised in a
coal mining town by parents

who believed women should—
n‘t work outside the home.

After breaking tradition
and graduating from UK in
the 1960's. she obtained a mas-
ter's from Harvard and East-
ern Kentucky University and
a Ph.D. from UK.

DeRosier debunks the lazy
images of mountain people.

“We believed the Lord
would provide. but we also be-
lieved he wanted us to work."
she said.

“Creeker” was published
in 1999 and doubled expected
sales nationally

Currently DeRosier lives
in Billings. Mont. and teaches
psychology at Rocky Moun—
tain College.

Bob Dole dishes

mam.

Dole. a former US. Senator, came to Lexington
to urge men to opt for early detection

ImekPoon
summon

As he reached into a blue and white Pfizer bag
and pulled out a giant-sized baby blue Viagra pill,
Bob Dole admitted that being the spokesperson for
the erectile dysfunction drug was a tough decision.

“That was a very hard choice to make,” Dole
said. “I knew I was going to be ridiculed by a lot of
people who didn’t understand it. The whole message
of the commercial was ‘go see your doctor.”

Dole has received a lot of tree Pepsi and filmed
many commercials for Viagra since his departure
from politics, but he said he has enjoyed his time
away.

The 80year-old former senator from Kansas and
former presidential candidate spoke Wednesday at
the Marriott Hotel on Newtown Pike for UK’s
Sanders-Brown Center on Aging Foundation Dinner:
Alzheimer’s disease and prostate cancer were top
priority for Dole. He made an appeal for early detec-
tion of life-threatening illnesses such as prostate
cancer.

“We need to get information out,” Dole said. “We
want to appeal to men to go to the doctor. Women,
you'll go to the doctor. But for men, you need a base-
ball bat to get them to go to the doctor.

“I talk to a lot of men with prostate cancer, and I
hope I help some men prolong their lives by getting
them to go to the doctor," he said.

Dole also stressed the need for prescription drug
benefits and said cost is the biggest senior health is-
sue.

There are people in this country who have to
make a choice between food and medicine, Dole said.

“I voted for a bill in 1965 that had drug benefits
in it," Dole said. “Here, we are almost 40 years later
still arguing about whether we should have prescrip-
tion drug benefits and had we had it then there
would be a whole lot more people around today I
think.”

Dr. William R. Markesbery, director of the UK
Sanders-Brown Center, agreed. “We’ve got to get a
way to reduce cost of these medications,” he said.

Dole also talked about the war in Iraq, where be
briefly misspoke and referred to the Vietnam War.
Dole recovered and said the US. was not in a quag-
mire like Vietnam and that he supported President
Bush. but that the key is finding Saddam Hussein.

“(Hussein) is the biggest weapon of mass de-
struction.” Dole said. He also said the approval rat-
ings of President Bush would skyrocket if Hussein
were found.

While Dole has retired from the US. Senate. he
doesn't want to retire from the public, be said.

"I love politics, and I miss it. “ Dole said. “But I
was too young to retire, so I did a couple of books on
political humor and a commercial with Britney
Spears. I got a lot of free Pepsi for that.

“I’ve kept busy. I even had a program with Bill
Clinton that didn’t get renewed. I guess we weren't
good enough."

Dole was stationed at Camp Breckinridge, Ky.
during World War 11. As a young man. he said Ken-
tucky gave him maturity.

“I love Kentucky.” Dole said. “I got my first lead-
ership role in the army, so Kentucky has always been

a favorite space."

his degree in business ad-
ministration in 1948. He
graduated from the UK Col-
lege of Law in 1950.

While working toward
his law degree, Breathitt was
president of Lamp and Cross
and Omicron Delta Kappa. as
well as a member of the Sig-
ma Alpha Epsilon social fra-
ternity.

The UK graduate was
elected to the Kentucky
House of Representatives in
1961.

He was president of the
Young Democratic Clubs of
Kentucky in 1952.

In 1954. he worked on the
state campaign staff of for-
mer Vice President Alben
Barkley‘s during successful
bid for re-election to the US.
Senate.

Breathitt also served
three terms iii the state legis-
lature and was a member of
the Governor’s Commission
on Mental Health. the State
Public Service Commission
and was State Personnel
Commissioner.

“He was always interest-
ed in political campaigns."
said longtime friend Foster
Ockerman. who was also
Breathitt’s primary and gen-
eral campaign manager in
1963.

During his term as gov-
ernor, from 1963 to 1967,
Breathitt tackled many con-
troversial issues in the midst
of the civil rights movement.

“His election in 1963 was
considered very progres—
sive," Birdwhistell said. “He
had Kennedyesque appeal.”

The young governor held
fast on many issues, includ-
ing conservation, strip-min-
ing regulations and equal
rights.

In recognition of his cen-
tral role in passing Ken-
tucky's civil rights bill, he re-
ceived the esteemed Lincoln
Key Award in 1966. The leg—
islation was the first civil
rights bill passed in the
South.

cult and historic times of the
civil rights movement," said
Lexington Mayor Teresa
Isaac. “He was an inspira-
tion and role model to many
elected officials who serve
the citizens of Kentucky to
day."

Breathitt’s passion for
higher education gained him
much recognition across the
state as he strove to improve
the quality of Kentucky‘s ed-
ucational systems, even after
his term ended in 1967.

“His distinguished ser-
vice to higher education and
leadership in both the public
and private sector will be
missed." Isaac said.

After his term as gover-
nor. Breathitt returned to pri-
vate law practice and became
Kentucky‘s special counsel
for Southern Railway in De-
cember 1967. The following
year, he became director of
the Institute for Rural Ameri-
ca and was also appointed
federal representative on the
Southern Interstate Nuclear
Board.

Breathitt returned to
Lexington and private prac-
tice, retiring as counsel from
the Wyatt. Tarrant & Combs
law firm in 2002. after serV»
ing since 1992.

He served as chair of the
UK Board of Trustees several
times. most recently from
1992 to 1999.

“Governor Breathitt
loved Kentucky." said former
UK President Charles
Wethington. “He loved the
University of Kentucky. He
was a tireless and effective

advocate for his na-
tive state and its
people.“

Breathitt was
also a dear friend
to Attorney Gener-
al and Democratic
gubernatorial can- W
didate Ben Chan-
dler. “Governor
Breathitt was a
mentor and a very dear
friend, almost like a father."
Chandler said. “He was one
of the guiding lights in my
career."

Breathitt defeated Chan-
dler’s grandfather. A.B. “Hap
py" Chandler. in the 1963 gu-
bernatorial primary election.
when the younger Chandler
was three years old.

“There was no real per-
sonal animosity." Chandler
said of his grandfather’s elec-
tion loss. “They became good
friends.“

Chandler said Breathitt
also took every opportunity
to inspire Kentucky‘s youth.

“He made a special effort
to take young people under
his wing." Chandler said.
“Anytime he could help out.
he was ready to go."

“The entire University of
Kentucky family is sad-
dened," said President Lee
Todd. “Governor Breathitt
was one of Kentucky‘s
strongest advocates for high-
er education during his ser-
vice in the Kentucky General
Assembly, as governor and as
long-time chair of the Board
of Trustees and continuous
ally of the University of Ken
tucky

Freshman swimmer Kelly Cross practices for the freestyle event at Ull's Lancaster Aquatic Center. The women' s swimming and diving team
went 3-6 In dual meets last season. The men' s team went 5- 4. till will open Its season 4 p. m. today with the Blue/White swim meet.

Cats loreseeing a strong season

By Joe Murphy
CONTRIBUTING VIRITER

While much of the state
of Kentucky is going crazy
in anticipation of the UK
basketball season's begin-
ning. a much more subtle
form of dunking is being
taught in UK's Lancaster
Aquatics Center.

The UK swimming and
diving team kicks off its sea-
son today with the annual
Blue/ White swim meet and
it has high expectations for
this season.

“I think we could finish
in the top four in the confer-
ence,” said head coach Gary
Conelly.

Conelly said he learned
what it takes to win in this
sport from his days swim-
ming for Indiana University
and his participation in the
1972 Munich Olympics.

Under his watchful eye.
the UK swimming team con-
ditions and practices for
three or more hours every
day. They are definitely no
strangers to hard work, said
Conelly.

“I read in the paper how
coaches in other sports are
really going to get at their
players by holding 6 am.
practice sessions," Conelly
said. “But that's just an
everyday thing for my swim-
mers."

The team is hoping to
improve upon its sixth-place
finish in the SEC last year.
The SEC placed nine teams
in the top 20 nationally.

With key returnees in-
cluding Daniel Cruz, Steven
Manley. Jerram Chudleigh
and Jessica Siegele, there’s
good reason to have high ex-
pectations for the team.
Conelly said.

“The men have a great
chance to finish in the top 15
nationally and the women
have a good shot to finish in
the top 30" Conelly said.

Even with the loss of
SEC Male Diver of the Year
Clayton Moss. the diving
squad returns key talent.

SEC Female Freshman
Diver of the Year Jessica
Thompson and two highly-
touted newcomers, Kari
Retrum and Jo Ellen Brown.

will dive for reigning SEC
Coach of the Year Mike Ly-
den.

“All three are incredible
athletes and will help us out
a lot in the conference and
NCAA‘s," Lyden said.

But the men's diving
team faces an unusual obsta-
cle —— it has one member:
Mario Rodriguez. But he
looks to have a strong season
after coming off a medical
redshirt.

“Mario was doing the
best diving of his career
when he got hurt against
Missouri last year." Lyden
said.

Steven Manley. a native
of Ireland. and Siegele both
had big summers competing
in the Irish Open Champi-
onships while visiting Man-
ley‘s parents. Manley broke
three Irish national records
and Siegele won four events.

“I‘m really hoping to
make the NCAA’s this year.
especially after barely miss-
ing the cut last year." Siegele
said.

Cruz is another big
weapon for the swim team.

already holding the UK
record for the ZOO-meter but-
terfly He hopes to break his
own record at some point
this season. and looks for the
team to have a breakout year.

“I really think that we
could be top eight in the
NCAA this year." Cruz said.

Jerram Chudleigh, a
transfer student from
Wyoming. thinks that bring-
ing in fans to see their meets
is a key for this season's suc—
cess.

“The more people you
have watching. the better off
we are." Chudleigh said.
“Maybe we‘ll have promo-
tions to bring people in. Give
away beach towels or some-
thing."

Proposed keg tagging laudable,
but flaws must be addressed

The Lexington-Fayette Urban County Coun-
cil's Services Committee recently voted in favor
of a proposed beer keg ordinance that would re-
quire kegs to be labeled and registered.

Committee members will ask council mem-
bers to vote for the issue to be put on the docket
next Tuesday. and the council could vote on the
measure as early as Oct. 23.

Under the proposed policy all beer kegs
would be labeled with an ID. Purchasers would
be required to fill out a keg registration form,
and vendors would have to report the sale to the
county within 30 days. This policy would be a
way to hold the purchaser accountable for the
keg in the event that police break up a party.

The proposed ordinance is aimed at prevent-
ing older drinkers from supplying alcohol to mi~
nors. “The number one goal is to try to keep a1-
cohol out of the hands and mouths of underage
drinkers." said Lt. William Henderson of the
Lexington Police.

This is an admirable goal. However. as the
council considers the issue. several key ques-
tions must be answered.

Housemates hosting a party commonly split
the cost of a keg. If only one name goes on the
keg r‘egistiation form. that means only one per-
son w ill be held accountable 1n the event that po-
lice link the keg to underage drinking. It's un-
fair for one person to be required to take full re-

sponsibility for a keg if several people are re-
sponsible for the house and the party. The coun-
cil should come up with provisions to ensure
that responsibility for the keg is shared.

Another common occurrence is for underage
drinkers to bring their own alcohol to parties. If
they drink out of plastic cups. it could be impos-
sible to determine whether the alcohol came
from the keg or from some other source. The
person who purchased the keg could then poten-
tially be held accountable for supplying alcohol
to an underage drinker simply because his
name was tied to the keg‘s ID number. This sce-
nario must be taken into consideration when
discussing the proposal.

Even if a party is attended only by legal
drinkers, the proposed policy could still cause
problems. Kegs can be stolen. If a keg theft oc-
curs, the purchaser can no longer control where
the alcohol goes or who consumes it.

If the policy goes into effect. the county
should devise a system to report keg theft. This
would prevent the purchaser from being held ac-
countable if a stolen keg is linked to underage
drinking.

It is important that the county make an ef-
fort to keep underage drinkers away from alco-
hol. But before the Council votes on the keg-tag-
ging measure. it needs to consider the complica-
tions that will arise if it is implemented.

 

QUOTES

of my administration rested on passing
that bill. I just had to do it.”

Animosity in convocation
disheartening, not good

I would like to compliment the Kernel on its mis~

quote of the day in the October 9th edition. In refer-
ence to the gubernatorial convocation last week, sup-
posedly I said, “We saw animosity on both their parts.
It was good to see that. to see them as people.“ This
quotation could not be more wrong. It is the exact op-
posite of my ideas. Personally. I did find animosity ex-
hibited during the debate, but I thought it was dis-
heartening. not “good."
. I attended the debate in order to learn more about
i each candidate. Call me an idealist. but I don’t see the
. gubernatorial race as a battle of good and evil. I do not
believe that either Chandler or Fletcher want the Com-
monwealth of Kentucky to burn in hell. They both
have good ideas and some bad ones. I look at voting for
a candidate like taking a multiple choice test. You are
supposed to pick the best choice of several answers.
Not all of the answers are wrong. you just have to pick
the best one. Like I said. call me an idealist.

What angers me is that everyone at the debate had
already decided who they will be voting for. Chandler
referred to the mess in Washington DC. brandishing
harsh words like his liberal Excalibur while the Demo-
cratic audience cheered. Then Pence aggressively
shook his fist at the mess in Frankfort and the Repub-
licans gleefully clapped and yelled in agreement. It
was like each side felt victorious because the other
side messed up. We are students at UK. We are striving
for higher education. What is it about the cheap tactics
of blame that appeal to us? I would have thought that
the candidates would have given us more credit for
our intelligence.

Why can‘t they refer to a specific bill or idea and
explain its logistics and ramifications in practice? Of
course not in whole, I understand that would be much
too difficult. but at least refer to something specific.
We know that each candidate believes their respective
idea is the best. They don't have to tell us it is good.
they have to show us why.

So. no. I didn‘t think that “it was good to see” their
animosity. In fact. when I walk into that voting booth
I on Nov. 4. I will probably just press the red “write-in"
‘ button and pencil in my mother's name. At least she is
somewhat detached from the web of “politics as usu-
al.“ unlike the current gubernatorial
candidates.
