Many Lexington social ser-
vices groups and UK medical
students say the UK Hospital's
ability to care for non-English
speaking patients is inade-
quate. despite recent hospital
efforts to improve its services.

”There has always existed
an economic discrimination in
this hospital (UK). but I don't
think it is because of race. but
because of their ignorance of
the reality of Lexington." said
Andres Cruz. an education and
employment coordinator of the
Hispanic Initiation Network. a
social services group funded by

the Lexington-Fayette Urban
County Government.

Cruz recognizes the hospi
tal's recent efforts to cope with
the Hispanic community. but
said they are insufficient to
handle the population's rapid
growth in recent years.

He was surprised to find
out that one full-time and two
part~time Japanese interpreters
have worked at the Kentucky
Clinic for more than 10 years.

“It‘s ridiculous that they
only have one Spanish inter~
preter." he said.

Hospital officials said they
are trying to meet the needs of
the Hispanic population as they
identify them.

"How could we discrimi-

said. "Nobody has come to me
with those criticisms."

Expansion: Completion expected by fall

Parking Structure as on
Limestone Street. above, is undergo-
ing an expansion that will add two
new levels and approximately 460
new spaces in the garage.

The expansion is expected to
be finished by the fall semester
2002. Don Thornton. the director of
Parking and Transportation. said the
expansion will create some displace-
ment of current spaces. About 300
spaces have been removed from ser-
vice to facilitate construction. That
number will increase to 600 in
mid-April.

"We realize that we won't

make everyone happy with what we
have to do." Thornton said. “But we
will do the best we can to accommo-
date everyone. taking into account
the different flexibilities of each
parking permit type."

Students are prevented from
parkin in the garage and in the
Taylor Dickey lot and will be divert-
ed to the Scott Street lot. .

The lot’s use will be monitored
and adjusted as needed. Thornton
said. and it will return to original
designations for the summer
months.

Grant used to help Hispanics

Money: UK leads way in rural improvement

STAFF WRITER

The pressure on health

the wave of Hispanic immi-

? Convenient parking
rare on campus lots

Frustration: Students say permits should

guarantee accessible

By Janet Eaton
corntmairiicrwaiiin

()ne of the first things
learner] at UK is that parking
is a problem. On any given
day. cars are towed. citations
issued and students drive
around lots wondering if they
could park in a spot “just this
once for only five minutes."

There are more than
32,000 students on UK's cam-
pus. including the Medical
Center and Lexington Com-
munity College.

The parking department
lists about 9.700 parking
places that may be assigned to
students. with more than 2.000
of these designated as com-
muteremployee spots. This
means that there is one park-
ing spot on campus for every

spaces. but don't

three or four students.

“The truth is that every
one who pays for parking on
campus expects convenient
parking." said Donald Thorn-
ton. director of Parking and
Transportation Services. “Al:
though this goal is next to im-
possible on an urban campus. .
we work hard to manage as ef~
ficiently as possible."

Despite these attempts.
many students are less than
satisfied. such as John Cox. a
psychology junior who has a
permit for K-lot.

"It‘s crappy how we have
to park way out here." he said

Parking and Transporta-
tion Service officials admit
they oversell parking areas.

Greeks pick
Robinson

Crucial: Vote important to candidate's chances;
GPAC winner took 13 of last 14 SG elections

By Jimmy Nesbltt

SH“ WRIIIR

Last night. 80 President Tim Robinson won the support of

the Greek Political Action Committee for the second year
in a row.

Thirteen out of the last 14 winning SG presidential tickets
i'eceiy ed the GPA(‘ endorsement.

"It means a lot." said Robinson. "The Greek community
gave us their support tonight."

To gain GPAC endorsement. a candidate tiutst win a major
ity vote of delegates representing all members of the Panhel‘
It‘lllt‘ Council and the lnterfratei‘nity (‘ouncil Each Greek orga~
nutrition is allowed to send two voting delegates.

(‘andidates address the delegates at a debate which is co-or-
ganized by the Panhellenic Council and the IFC.

Robinson and Thompson were opposed by write-in candi-
dates Mary Katherine (‘orrell and her running mate. Tommy
liogsdon; and Ben Hayes and his running mate. Amy Thomas.

t‘orrell remained optimistic about her chances in the SG
race despite the outcome of the GPAC debate.

Hayes said the endorsement is important “Usually people
go up there with their minds already made up." he said.

Although he and Thomas didn‘t win. Hayes was pleased
with the format of the debate

Hayes and Thomas were denied the chance to run on the
ballot by the Election Board of Claims. Their appeal to the SG
Supreme (‘ourt has not been decided.

Because of the ruling by the board. Correll did not expect to
debate against Hayes and Thomas. Correll thought their pres-
ence might cause turmoil but said the debate went smoothly.

Robinson told the audience that their track record speaks
for itself. Robinson smiled when asked by an audience member
if he felt he had spent too much money on Greek activities.

“I'm at a Greek debate so I‘m sure not going to say I spent
too much money on the Greeks."

Hayes centered his campaign on the students. He said SG
should spend more money on Greek rush and recruitment.

More money should go into scholarships for all students
and less should be spent on SG. Hayes said.

(‘orrell chose not to focus on any single issue. "There's not
one single issue." she said. “There are many issues."

Ifelected. Correll and Logsdon plan to get students more in»
volved in campus activities.

"Students are not involved as they Should be." she said.

provides rapid contact with in»
terpreters of several different
languages, 24 hours a day, sev—
en days a week.

Tucker said. Hispanic pa-
tients account for almost .three
percent of patients at the UK
Hospital and have become a
priority for the institution.

As a result ' of Hispanic
growth, the UK College of Med-
icine appointed a Hispanic
Task Force Committee two
years ago to analyze and pro-
vide solutions‘ to the Latino
health care situation in the UK
Medical Center.

Rodney Samaan, a third-
year medical student, says UK
Hospital service to non-English
speakers is inadequate.

Samaan said he has been
involved in incidents where
the hospital used him and oth-
er untrained/people as inter—
preters. He also said the inter
preting telephone system used
by the hospital is a cold. imper—
sonal system and should be

used only as a last resort.

“That they contracted an
interpreter in January is a
good move." he said. “But there
is still a long way to go."

The Cross Cultural Health
Care Program. a Seattle institur
tion that serves as an umbrella
for health-related problems of
minorities groups across the
country, agrees with Samaan.

Sindy Roat. the director of
the Seattle interpreting pro-
gram. said she and her organi-
zation believe that telephone
interpreting should be used as
a back-up system in emergen-
cies or after-hours cases be-
cause this method is not suffi-
cient or proper in many cases.

“I don‘t consider telephone
interpreting as a good part of
the health care system.“ Roat
said. “The ideal system is to
have a bilingual staff and a
pool of freelancers available to
after-hours situations."

Mae Mary Quan. the chair-
woman of UK's Hispanic Task
Force. said the UK Medical
Center is making a tremendous
effort to catch up with the
growth of the Hispanic popula»
tion to meet its needs.

She said this can be a slow
process. and therefore many

“Saved By the Bell": In goofy teen show,
viewers saw fun sides of high school antics

By Emily Schwartz

(‘ONIRIBUIINU WRITER

The dangers of caffeine
pills burst into the minds and
liVing rooms of youngsters
across the nation when Jessie
Spano. renowned smart girl
of her class. sank into her
friend. Zack. singing “I‘m so ex»
cited. I‘m so excited. I'm
so scared."

“Saved By the Bell" is a TV
show that captured the hearts
and fanaticism of its target au-
dience Zack and Slater—crazy
adolescents.

“It’s sort of a landmark for
our generation." said Mary
Lewis. a journalism senior.

The show started out on the
Disney Channel in 1987 as
a comedy about eighth
graders called "Good Morning
Miss Bliss." It featured the tal-
ents of MarkPaul Gosselaar
(Zack Morris). Dustin Diamond
(Samuel L. “Screech" Pow-
ers) and Lark V oorhies
(Lisa Turtle).

In 1989. “Saved By the Bell"
premiered its first of five sea-
sons that followed six teens
through their adventures in
high school. Five seasons and
two made-for-TV movies later
“Saved By the Bell" was still
popular when it went into syn—
dication.

The show ended in 1993 af-
ter the gang graduated from
high school. but it inspired two
spin‘off shows. “Saved By the
Bell: The College Years" and
“Saved By the Bell: The
New Class."

The cast‘s last appearance
together was the made-for-TV

movie. Sared By the Bell: Wed
ding in Las It'egas.

Although the show had a
well-received run. there are al-
ways some who didn‘t like
it. Nicole Lother. a dietetics see
nior. thought the show
was stereotypical.

“It was pretty corny. and I
didn't really take it seriously."
she said.

In and of itself. the show
was comedic. Between relation-
ships and other high school is»
sues. the characters encoun
tered many humorous adven-
tures during their tenure.

For example. think of the
episode where Lisa‘s dance con-
test-winning hopes are put on
hold after a sprained ankle. She
dances anyway. and creates the
new dance craze. "the sprain."
Zack's band. Zack Attack. also
spurred laughs at the dreamy
success story. complete with a
narration by Casey Casem.

Although many of the
episodes feature humorous top—
ics. the show also focuses on
some difficult subjects. Drug
and alcohol use. a favorite
teen staple. made its appear-
ances. as do various
forms of heartache and rela
tionship woes.

For whatever reason people
watched the show. most seemed
to remember something they
learned from it.

“It taught me how to rebel
against authority in school af-
ter watching Zack and Slater's
constant pranks on the school
principle." said Josh Watkins. a
graphic design junior.

of cool crowd

In the younger
years, Zack (Marli-
Paul Gosselaar)
still commanded
the center of atten-
tion. “Saved By the
Bell" became a pre-
teen staple show
tor many adoles-
cents around the
country.
