stats and
facts

Eight to ten people die
every day in the U.S.
while awaiting a
lifesaving organ
transplant.

The total number of
patients waiting for
an organ transplant
today numbers more
than 66,000.

More than one-third of
them will die before
a donor can be found.

Another name is added
to the waiting list
every 18 minutes.

A total of 20,260 organ
transplants were
performed in the
United States during
I996. In that same
time period, there
were only 5,412
people who donated
one or more organs
upon death.

In I996, nearly 4,000
Americans - one
person every three
hours - died while
waiting for a
transplant.

The refusal rate among
families of potential
donors nationwide is
around 50 percent.

Under ideal conditions,
one donor can supply
as many as eight
organs (heart, two
lungs, liver,
pancreas, two
kidneys, and
intestine).

Also, to dispel some
myths and
misconceptions:

Becoming a donor will
not affect the quality
of your medical care.
Organ recovery takes
place only after all
efforts to save your
life have been
exhausted, and two
doctors have
declared you legally
brain dead.

if you are a donor, you
can have an open
casket funeral.

All major religions
support donation and
consider it a gift, an
act of charity.

Transplants are
accessible and
available to
everyone. Organs are
allocated according
to medical criteria
(blood type, height,
weight and urgency
of medical need).

Take the time to sign
the back of your
license and let your
family know what
your wishes are. it is
your decision, but in
the event you lose
your life, you can
give life to another,
who would not live
without you.

Student on game show

Final answer: UK student, Doug Souleyrette, has been
chosen to be on College Jeopardy, to be taped next week

By Amanda York
SCENE EDITOR

Doug Souleyrette watches Jmpardy
every night front his living room. Next
week. Doug will play Jeopardy. but it
won‘t be from the comforts of his living
room.

Instead. Doug will travel to (‘alifornia
and compete on the show.

“l‘rn happy. it‘s been a dream of
mine." Souleyrette said.

For Souleyrette it‘s been somewhat
tnore than a dream. it‘s been a goal he‘s
worked on for years.

“I've watched the show off and on for
about 16 years. religiously for about six."
he said. "If we were going to be away I
would tape it. l'vejust always found it fa.»
cinating and it was sort of a challenge.“

He‘s passed the test for the show for
the past four years. This past February
Souleyrette got the closest he had ever
gotten to becoming a contestant on the
show when he made it as an alternate in
the college tournament.

While at the taping for the college
tournament Souleyrette took the test for
the regular Jeopardy show and passed it.
This won him the chance to compete as an
actual contestant on the show.

Souleyrette said he devotes many
hours a week to Studying for the show.

“I study about two hours a day on the
weekdays and about four hours on the
weekends for the show." he said.

Books. dictionaries and the show
serve as Souleyrette's major resources for
preparing for the show.

“I have quite a few books. I use the
net a lot and I watch the show. That's a
great way to prepare, just to get to know
the kinds of questions they ask." he said.

Along with studying for Jeopardy,

Souleyrette, a biology senior. attends
classes at UK where he‘s a member of the
basketball pep band and marching band.

Making the cut for Jeopardy wasn't
the only good news he received this se-
tnester. This summer. Souleyrette begins
medical school at UK.

Despite the fact that millions of peo-
ple tune into Jeopardy every night.
Souleyrette said he's not nervous.

“I‘m not nervous. it's a once in a me
time chance and I'm not going to let
nerves get in the way," he said. “It will de-
crease my performance on the show."

lle'll compete with adults on the regu»
lar Jeopardy program and thinks his age
may put him at a disadvantage.

“As far as not having the life experi
ences they‘ve had. 1 think Jeopardy tests a
lot about living and being aware of your
surroundings." he said.

Even though he thinks his age could
deter him on certain questions he thinks
it will help him with the buzzer.

"I will be at an advantage on the re-
flexes on the buzzer. I think I will be a lot
faster." he smiled.

Souleyrette also said he did not want
to let Alex Trebek get the best of him.

”I'm trying to think of ways to out»
smart him. He kind of belittles contes»

tants. he s iid. I won't let that happen to
me.

Words of wisdom: His series

By Tracy Kershaw

In a state where basketball is regarded
as vital as food. water and shelter. it comes
as no surprise that Jeffrey Marx received
death threats after his series of articles on
the UK basketball scandal ran in the Lex-

Nevertheless. Marx‘s series of articles

the duo a Pulitzer Prize for investigative

Yet the scare of losing Wendy propelled

Noble defended the sloppy
state of his room. saying that it
was his way of not conforming
to his roommates' wishes.

“My roommates are clean-
freaks. and I’m just trying to
rebel against them." Noble said.

Noble‘s roommates went on
to say that the sight of Noble‘s
room wasn't even the worst
part about it. but rather the
smell.

"It smells like there's an
animal living in there. but we
don‘t have any pets." Sears
said.

Crowley described the odor

“It smells like week-old
beer and cigarette vomit in

Sears claims that the
stench that radiates from No-

tive effects on his love life.

“The other day I had my

girlfriend over to hang out. and
she walked past the room and
said that she felt like she was
going to puke." he said.

Noble refused to take the
blame for the smell. blaming
the funky scent on the room‘s
locale in the house.

“My room is right next to
the kitchen. so whenever some
one cooks something the smells
waft into my room. And I guess
that they just linger in there."
he said.

Ombud nominations now

By Becky Neisel
CONTRIBUTING WRlTER

It is time now to appoint
the Academic Ombud for the
20002001 school year.

The Academic Ombud is a
resource for students and
teachers who have academic
problems with one another.

The Ombud helps to settle
disputes that a student might
have with a professor adhering
to the syllabus. grades. discrim-
ination or a student not feeling
as if the professor is allowing
them to progress through the
curriculum.

They also help professors
with students that are causing
problems for their class. and
advise them in dealing with
students not following the at-
tendance policy or cheating.

“The position was created
to be non-aligned with any col-
lege or department." said Jef-
frey Dembo. the current Acade-
mic Ombud. “When I am in the
Ombud office. I am not a faculty

member of any group. but a fac.
ulty-at-large. That way I can go
to department heads. directors.
or even the president of the uni-
versity ifI feel that we are not
treating a student fairly."

Although Dembo would
like to continue in office. the
University still wants to keep
nominations open to other fac-
ulty that students feel would
make good Ombudsmen too.

“Of the 1500 to 2000 calls we
get a year. most do not need an
Ombud appointment." Dembo
said. “That is where Michelle
Sohner. my assistant. comes in.
She will direct the calls that go
to other ofﬁces.“

Then an appointment is set
up with the Ombud. to which
the student brings the evidence
they need to prove their point.

“The most effective way to
overcome the problem is for the
student to talk to the profes-
sor." Dembo said.

However. he might call the
professor himself. or sometimes
go over the professor‘s head

and talk to the department
chair or Director of Undergrad-
uate Studies.

“The thing to remember."
Dembo said. "is that we are all
members of an academic com-
munity. We have our own re»
sponsibilities. but we all should
be able to enjoy the benefits of
it. too.“

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Scientists who inventoried
Earth‘s shrinking wilds have
reached an astonishing conclu-
sion: More than a third of the
planet‘s plant and animal
species exist exclusively on a
scant 1.4 percent of its land sur-
face.

The ﬁndings show that sav-
ing a large share of the world‘s
species from extinction isn't an
overwhelming task. They be-
lieve conservationists just need
to focus on safeguarding 25
speciesrich “hotspots" , most-
ly tropical rain forests.

“The whole point of this is
that for a few hundred million
dollars a year. focused on these
hotspots. we can go a long way
toward guaranteeing mainte-
nance of the full range of diver-
sity of life on Earth.“ said Rus-
sell Mittermeier. president of
Conservation International.
and one of the study‘s authors.

The British-American team
led by Norman Myers of Oxford

inventory the earth

University relied on previous
research to tally the numbers of
land species that inhabit
Earth‘s remaining pristine
forests. grasslands and other
habitats. Fish and insects were
excluded. Because some of the
tropical areas remain unex-
plored. the researchers had to
rely on experts' best estimates.

The findings appear in
Thursday's issue of the journal
Nature.

Mittermeier said some of
the researchers were surprised
by the riot of life they found oc-
cupying such a small portion of
land.

The team identiﬁed 25
“hotspots“ covering a total of
810,000 square miles. That rela-
tively tiny expanse sustains 44
percent of Earth‘s plant species
and 35 percent of its non-ﬁsh
vertebrate animal species.

Thirty-eight percent of that
area already enjoys some form
of legal protection. But Mitter-
meier said much of that is what
conservationists call “paper

parks“ ~ lands that are protect-
ed on paper but where logging.
mining and grazing are often
rampant.

The challenge of protecting
the remaining 62 percent is not
overwhelming. the researchers
say.

Their paper suggests that
conservationists should use a
“silver bullet" approach and
concentrate on saving pieces of
the hotspots from logging.
slash-and-burn agriculture or
other fates.

Some of the richest
hotspots are in Madagascar.
Brazil. the tropical Andes. the
Caribbean. and Borneo. Suma-
tra and other islands in South-
east Asia.

“Surely the resources can
be found to protect this 1.4 per-
cent of the planet. That's not an
awful lot of land to contain so
much of the biodiversity of the
world." said Edward O. Wilson.
a professor at Harvard Univer-
sity‘s Museum of Comparative
Zoology.

Lexington's premier chefs cook on campus

Fine dining: Thanks to a new program
by UK Food Services, cooks from
restaurants like Phil Dunn's are serving
up goodies once a week

By Jill Gorin
NEWS EDIIOR

UK Food Services is offering a change of pace. Stu-
dents and staff can sample foods from area restaurants
this semester in the Student Center.

“We wanted a chance to showcase some nice things
on campus and get some interest.“ said Carol Raitz. food
services director.

And the interest appears to be rising.

“I think it‘s a good idea." said Erin Vachlon. an unde-
clared freshman “The food on campus is good at first. but
then it gets boring."

The idea to feature different chefs from around 1.er
ington was a joint effort.

"It was a brainstorm among the management team.“
said Charles Shropshire, Student Center food court man-
ager.

The plan consists of two different features: free lunch-
es for staff and samples from local chefs for anyone on
campus.

Each Thursday 12- 15 staff members are selected and

rest an ant

Soon the free lunches might apply to students.

"Right now we have selected mailing lists.” Shrop-
shire said. "And it‘s only faculty, but we’re thinking of do-
ing the same thing for students."

Also. each Thursday. a local chef from a Lexington
restaurant cooks food in room 214 Student (‘enter (dining
room) and offers free samples to anyone.

UK's own catering chef, Robert Tiffault. was the first
cook to participate about three or four weeks ago, And so

Cory Birdwhistell. law student. and Doug Curl, a geological sur-
vey student, investigate the diverse foods yesterday at the
Cultural Festival in the Student Center Ballroom.

“It is a win-win for both." he said. "Good advertising
for them. and it‘s something extra. special and different
for us."

Shropshire also said they might be extending the pro-
gram beyond just this semester.

In the future. chefs from Romano‘s. Dudley's and
UK’s Assistant manager of catering. James Brown. will be
ﬁxing samples.

“We usually just ask them to make a vegetable and a
starch." Shropshire said. "but the choice is up to them."
