The proposal. sponsored by

More than Itlt) students squeezed into 245 Stu-
dent Center to hear the activist talk about his role
as a founding member of the AIM. his struggles
with the federal government and his hopes for the
future of the American Indian.

Dressed in a plain black suit with a leather
vest. a graying ponytail hanging down his back.
Bellecourt addressed the audience about the histo-
ry of the Atiierican Indian. A past in which he
claimed “victimized our people" ill a war he re-
ferred to as the. “American Holocaust."

“America was founded by terrorists." be said.
calling the "Trail of 'l‘ears” a romanticized version
of events. "We don‘t believe this is a democracy.”

Although he touched on several topics during
his hour—long address. Bellecourt spoke about Indi-
an burial grounds anti the need to protect them
from encroachment.

Tom Pearce. a spokesman with the national
AIM who has been working with Bellecourt for
about 13 years. said Kentucky was one of the
largest Indian burial regions in the nation.

”People have this need to look at dead Indi-
ans." Pearce said. recounting a 1991 incident in
which he and several other activists blocked the
doors to a museum in Dixon Mounds. III. while Bel-
lecourt and two other men "buried" a display of In-
dian remains.

Following the protest by Bellecourt. the muse-
um closed and the federal government instituted a
policy for the return of native artifacts.

When asked if he was against all archeology

“We're against all digs." he said.

Bellecourt is also the president of the Nation-
al Coalition on Racism in Sports and Media. He
spoke against the use of Indian mascots for sport
teams. He said words like Redskin and Braves de-
meaned everyone and that he would continue to
fight against what he called “institutionalized
racism.“

“We‘re not gone." he said. “John Wayne
didn‘t get us all."

Pearce invited students to attend a rally

protest the use of the name (‘leveland Indians.

“It's a really good time." said Pearce. laugh-

’I‘he (‘tirliILllltlt‘l‘ ofone of the nation's most
notoriotIs and prolific activist groups spoke
Wednesday at the [K Student (‘enter

Bob Brown. who helped pioneer the Black
Panther Party. delivered a speech in front ofa
standing—rotint-only crowd ofjust over Ititl peo-
ple. Among other things. llrown clarified the
public misconception that the patty is only con-
cerned with black issues.

"We are here today to dispel the myth that
we have only been concerned with the black
movement." Brown said. “We want to relate
with every revolutionary group that speaks to
the oppression of all people. in every corner of
the world."

.\Iany members of the audience were
pleased to hear of Brown's concern for all op—
pressed people.

"I found his speech to be very satisfying."
said Daniel Pennington, who attended the lee
ture. “He mentioned the oppression and pover-
ty of Appalachian children. which I think is an
important issue."

While emphasizing the need for all op-
pressed people to resist. Brown also elaborat»
ed on what he called the “US government's
continuous manipulation to crush these
movements."

The controversial leader also said the pub-
lic should distrust the govemment for all of the
wrongs it has done. He also gave the audience a
feel for what it is like to be an activist for over
three decades.

During his run through the history of the
Black Panthers Party. Brown detailed the life of
Kwame Ture. an activist formerly known as
Stokely Carmichael. who recently passed away.

“Kwame Ture was not the ‘Messiah‘ that
the It‘ll] made him out to be." said Brown. who
is lit wv director of the Kwame Ture Work-Study
Institute in Conakry. Guinea. "He wouldn't
have wanted it that way. He just wanted his
people to live without oppression."

Ture. just like Brown. had been a member
of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Coni-
mittee. and also led many civil rights sit-ins
and student demonstrations in the South.

Brown wrapped up his speech by giving
advice that only a 37-year activist could give.

“If you do not make the choices in your
life. the choices will be made for you."

He received a standing ovation. from all.

everyone. and not restricted
to those who have already
served in SGA.

“This (UK) is a democra-
cy, and without passing this
amendment we are sending
the message to students that
SGA is corrupt." Roth said.

After Wednesday night‘s
decision. the SGA presiden-
cy will still only be open to
students who meet the expe-
rience qualification of one
year.

Sen. Jason Johnson said
the SGA president should
know the operations of the
organization.

“Those of you who are
saying anyone can do this
job without experience are
saying that because you
don‘t have any." Johnson

said during the debate over:
the proposal. "

But Shaw. the co-author‘:
of the proposal disagrees.

“This is taxation without
representation," he said.
Shaw believes all students
are members of SGA because
they do. in fact. pay dues to
SGA every semester through
tuition costs.

“Regardless of my
premise or motive for this
proposal, it goes toward the
integrity of SGA." he said.

Shaw plans to announce
his intent to run for the pres-
idency. even though he
doesn’t meet the require-
ments according to the con-
stitution.

“I will take all the prop-
er steps to fulfill my candi-
dacy requirements.” he said.
"If I‘m lucky enough to gain
the support of the student
body during this election.
then we can deal with any
future problems when the

are very counterproductive
and go against the trend of
politics in the Middle East
region.“ Olson said.

“Even though they‘re
[other Middle Eastern coun-
tries] not happy with Sad-
dam‘s regime. they don't
want to see children die,“ he
said. “The situation in Iraq
is a very fragile and precari-
ous situation. therefore
these air strikes seem to be
more of an indication of the
Bush administration to show
a legacy."

Since it was the first
Bush administration that in-
stigated the Gulf War. Olson
feels that Bush wants to fol-
low in his father's footsteps.

Meggan Taylor. a sociol-
ogy junior, said she is very
upset with the situation. She

said she feels the air strikes
were uncalled for, but for a
different reason.

“George Bush is so anx-
ious to get his rocks off and
name recognized. he forgets
to use diplomacy," Taylor
said. “We had no business
bombing Iraq with such lit-
tle provocation."

Political science profes-
sor Karen Mingst, who
teaches several courses in
international politics, be-
lieves Bush sent the message
he intended to relay. but that
does not mean it was the ,
completely right thing to do.

“I am not generally in fa- ,
vor of bombing." she said.

Still. Mingst feels the
bombing was “mainly a po-
litical decision to communi-
cate to the other side. to
show that he [Bush] is in

power and not afraid to use ..

the military.

“It [the bombing] sent
the message but it has been
10 years and we still haven‘t
seen the end of Saddam."

WASHINGTON ,, The FBI
is trying to calculate the nation-

wrought by one of its own
agents. Robert Philip Hanssen.
accused of spying for Russia for
more than 15 years. FBI Director
Louis Preeh says the intelligence
losses appear to be “exceptional—

An FBI affidavit describing
Hanssen‘s alleged spying said he
passed along to Soviet and later
Russian agents 6.000 pages of
documents ., a virtual catalogue
of top secret and secret pro-
grams.

“The attorney general views

Mindy Tucker. Ashcroft's
spokeswoman. "The fact that
there are still countries that are
interested in stealing our intelli-
gence secrets shows that we
need to take steps to review our
security measures so that this
doesn't happen again.

“It‘s even more disturbing
because this is someone who
knew how things worked." said
Tucker. Hanssen was a counter-
intelligence expert,

Intelligence experts estimate
that Hanssen‘s disclosures were
highly damaging.

“It appears that there's

it's true he was a spy (be) com-

The case marked the third
time that an FBI agent has been
accused of espionage. and it
brought a quick reaction from
President Bush and members of

“Allegations of espionage
are a reminder that we live in a
dangerous world. a world that
sometimes does not share Ameri‘

Nursing

ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR

The nursing shortage occur-
ring in cities nationwide caught
the attention of UK officials a
while ago. Especially. when the
shortage became a reality in
Kentucky.

“Within the last six months.
it has become an emergency."
said Professor Carolyn
Williams. the dean of UK's Col-

it‘s just beginning to get critical.

Williams attributed the
nursing shortage to a growing
gap between the need for nurs-

ty of qualified nurses.

She said the amalgamation
of many problems have and con
tinue to contribute to the
dilemma.

One of the factors relegates
to the fact institutions can't hire
an adequately numbered staff
because the nurses are not avail-
able. which means that fewer
people pursue nursing as a ca-

Williams said the options avail-

dividuals available to work in
hospitals. which employ less
than 60 percent of nurses.

"The proportion of nurses is
beginning to drop." Williams
said. “Many are now working in
schools. insurance companies
and clinical environments."

Even though the problem
persists. Williams said the Col-
lege of Nursing is taking mea-
sures to help the shortage.

“We are designing a pro-

Bogans'

surge

leads UK charge

By Ron Cox
STAFF WRITER

The (fats didn‘t disappoint the as-
seinbled \‘ll’s last night. as they defeated
Louisiana State 84-61 in Rupp Arena.

Former LSl‘ head coach llale
Brown. Hall of Fame liodger manager
Tommy Lasorda and Senate Majority
Leader Trent Lott saw the (‘ats win
their eighth straight game. pushing
their home SEi‘ record to a perfect 7-0.

The Tigers. with their lack of depth.
came out in ilie first half and played a
slowdown game,

"We wanted to control the tempo
early from an oit‘ensive standpoint. be
cause we knew we couldn‘t control them
trom a defensive standpoint." said l.SlT
head coach John Brady.

However. sometimes the Tigers
tried too hard to slow down the game.
letting the shot clock run down to single
digits before taking a shot. They coin-
mitted one shot clock violation and two
Ill-second backcourt violations.

The strategy did manage to keep
the game close for the first 20 minutes.
leading l'K head coach Tubby Smith to
give the (‘ats a pep talk at the half. A
talk that senior guard Saul Smith only
described as “heated."

With that the t‘ats came out in the
second half and turned up the dei‘ensiye
pressure. allowing the defense and the

press to generate offense.

A bulk of that offense came from
sophomore swingman Keith Bogans.
who was prodded by coach Smith at
halftime.

"l challenged him at halftime and
told him he wasn‘t playing with the in-
tensity and aggressiveness he needs to
be playing with." coach Smith said.

“He came out in the second half and
quickly drew a charge and got the de-
fense going."

Hogans. who didn‘t score in the first
half. came alive in the second. scoring
nine of the (‘ats‘ first 11 points to start
the latter half. He finished the game
with 23 points.

“He asserted himself on the floor
more. starting with his defense. then his
shots started falling." said Saul Smith.
who finished the game with nine points.

With 10:34 on the clock and up by
eight. the (‘ats put the game away by go-
ing on a 12-0 run. half of that coming
from SE(‘ Player of the Week Tayshaun
Prince. He tallied 16 points and five
assists.

The win puts ['K one step closer to
winning the SEC regular season title.

“We feel like we control our own
destiny now junior guard .l. P. Blevins
said. “(,‘ertainly by no means are we out
of the water yet. we have to close well
because we still have three tough games
left."
