Religion

Belly button
fuzz

Lent is so much more
than that stuff you
clean out of your
belly button before
going out on a date.
It is also a religious
event where many
people give-up
something to
celebrate. Besides
the waffles, syrup,
coffee, crack and
pistachio ice cream,
here are some things
that you can still give
up.

Green vegetables: Now
this may not be too
hard for some of you.
but for the
vegetarians out there
this could be a huge
deal. (By the way,
why be a vegetarian?
God gave us sharp
teeth to eat meat
and it tastes good. i
don’t need any other
reasons.)

Smoking: This may be
tough. Not only can
you no longer smoke
your pork barbecue.
you can't get your
nicotine death cloud
either. This seems
repulsive to some,
but others rave it
beyond belief. Maybe
you could take up
something healthier
for you that still
gives you a rush.
Maybe bungee
jumping without a
rope, trying to tag
semis on the
freeway, or trying to
pet the pretty little
tiger at the zoo. Just
ideas.

Prostitutes: So maybe
you have a problem
with the curb
dwellers. I won't tell
anyone. I will laugh,
but i will keep quiet.
If you have a
hankering for one
half way through the
holiday, you could
always go to a local
college bar like all
the other dirty old
men Maybe you
could find a dirty old
match.

Napster: Oh wait. That
probably won't be a
problem here soon.
For the record execs
that think that they
are getting robbed. i
ask you to prove it.
Sales are at record
highs and you say
you are losing
business. That makes
sense.

What's going on: Birth dates OK for signature sheets but
experience requirement is still a problem for some students

By Tracy Kershaw

The race for Student Government
seats opened Tuesday night for many
students whose chances of running had
heeii squelched when they had to get
student identification iiuiiihers along
with signatures on filing petitions.

Less than 2i hours hefore today's l‘.’

SGA Supreme (‘ourt ruled that sigiia
tiire sheets required for filing will he
accepted with hirth dates instead oi stu

Sen. Brian Roth filed the claim
against the Election lloartl because he
said he thinks everyone should he eligi
Me and candidates should not he pun
islied lit-cause of a clerical mistake.

The hoard issued new signature
sheets on Feh. lit. the first day of filing.
requiring student identification ntiiii
hers hecause the ones originally distrih
iited to candidates only asked for hirth
dates.

Presidential candidates need l.tltttt

student signatures to run and senators
need itltl.

The constitution says signatures
and student identification iiiiiiihers are
needed on the sheets. lliit it also \Jl\s
anything that can identify a student can

they had already collected Silllli’iilll't-s

At this tiriie of year, many
UK teams are lighting for chain
pionship titles.

For the basketball team.
March Madness is approaching.
but members ol‘ I'K‘s computer
programming team have a d itl'er
ent kind of madness on their
minds computer program
ming.

And it is this madness that
has helped I'K have one of the
best computer programming
teams in the nation.

In fact the programming
team could be on its way to win
ning a championship title In No-

vember. the team placed first in a
regional competition and earned
a spot in the Computer Program-
ming World Finals.

The UK programming team
will compete against M other
schools. including MI'I‘. (‘al
’I‘ech. (‘arnegie Mellon. Harvard.
Stanford. Ilt‘ Berkley and sever
al other teams from North Amer
ica. Europe and Asia. More than
‘3le of the best programmers in
the world will take part in the
conuwtition. This virtually guar
antees that the competition will
be very intense for the UK team.

The tour-member I’K team
includes Andy Martin. Neil
Moore. Bill Wyatt and Leonid
I’outievski.

“I'm only a little nervous
about the competition." Neil
Moore, a computer science se
nior. said. “but more excited
than nervous.“

”When I was told We were in
the ﬁnals. it was hard to believe,“
Leonid I’outievski. a computer
science sophomore. said.

Andy Martin. a computer
science senior. said he has high
extwctations for the team.

“I have great confidence in
our team." he said. “We are
good."

The coach of the team is
.lerzy Jaromczyk. an associate
professor at UK who teaches ale
goritiiiri design, data structure.
senior design projects and t‘tilll'
pilers.

.Iaromczyk. who has taught
at UK since 1986, was previously
involved with advising program
ming teams and Iias coached

since lthltl. He equates the coiiipe
titioii to “the Olympics of com
ptiter programming."

The contest will be held this
year in Vancouver. (‘anada from
March 7 11. During the competi
tion. each team is given a prob»

into the computer

The team must split up the
problems among themselves ac
cording to their strengths. For
example. one member could take
a problem on computation geoin
etr'y while another may tackle a
problem on number theory.

This isn‘t the tirst time the

team has competed in the coiiipe i . ‘ j *va
tition. In 1999 the team reached ‘ = " “3E '
the ﬁnals but did not place

This does not deter the team
members.

“I hope that we will do well."

good chance."
