Alcohol workshop aims to prevent student deaths

Byvyloseihllontana McCoy

imccoy‘kakernelcom

Rob Caudill. international director of the Phi
Gamma Delta fratemity. began an alcohol liability
workshop last night with the words of a mother
whose son died of alcohol poisoning at a fratemi-
ty initiation party.

“It took me l8 years to raise him." Caudill
quoted. “It took them six weeks to kill him."

Darlene Krueger was the mother of 18-year
old Scott Krueger who died of alcohol poisoning
after attending a Phi Gamma Delta party in 1997
during his freshman year at the Massachusetts In-
stitute of Technology.

The focus of the program. "Tell Me Some—
thing I Don't Know." was to help students keep
each other safe and leam what needs to be done to
keep alcohol related incidents like this from hap-

pening at UK. Caudill said,

“The most important message (for the Greek
community) was recognizing that we‘re all re-
sponsible for each other. and we can all impact
what our brother or sister does.” Caudill said. "We
can all make an impact on a good or bad decision
that they make."

During the discussion. Caudill asked the audi-
ence questions to prompt ideas on how to avoid a
tragedy. such as what UK chapters could do to
prevent an alcohol—related death and how the situ-
ation surrounding the MIT incident was different
front what goes on at UK.

The program was co—sponsored by Alpha
Delta Pi sorority and Phi Gamma Delta fratemity
and included a 20-minute video about the dangers
of alcohol abuse followed by a discussion led by
C audill.

Lauren Goodin. Alpha Delta Pi president. said

she hoped to co-sponsor the program with Phi
Gamma Delta at least once a year.

“It's so important for officers. members and
for the entire Greek community." Goodin said.
"We hope to see it as a tradition because it's
great. it's beneficial and everybody needs the re—
minder."

Over 200 members of UK Greek community
attended the alcohol risk-management program
last night at the Center Theatre in the Student Cen—
ter.

UK Phi Gamma Delta President Chris Crum—
rine said he was very happy with the attendance.

“1 think it was an incredible turnout." Crum-
rine said. "Not only does it show that it's some-
thing people care about. but I hope that with the
high tumout. it‘s going to yield better results."

Crumrine said he would like to see this pro-
gram extend beyond the Greek community.

 

"While we're a pretty big example on campus
as leaders and probably the ones who should lead
to behavior change. I'd like to see it happen more
outside the Greek community because I don‘t
think the problem is just us." he said.

Allie White. Kappa Kappa Gamma new mem-
ber educator, attended the program and said she
agrees that it should extend to other students on
campus.

"We‘re not all the drinkers.” said White. a po-
litical science and English senior. “A lot of people
who aren‘t Greek drink too."

Phi Gamma Delta lntemational produced the
video following a lawsuit by the Krueger family
over the death of their son.

“Tell Me Something I Don‘t Know." is avail-
able for people and colleges across the nation and
is presented on campuses across the nation every
year. Caudill said.

The paddles were flying as participants in last night’s Cats Den table tennis tournament com-
peted for a chance to a win a free trip to the regional tournament at Virginia Tech. About 20
people showed up between 7 and 9:30 pm. including biology junior Brian Bani, above. to
compete for the trip and for other smaller prizes, which were drawn from a “surprise box." “A
year ago ping-pong was my life," kinesiology senior Teddy Prater said. Prater. who was once
ranked as one of the top-100 table tennis players in the nation, won last night‘s tournament
and will compete in Blacksburg. Va. in the regional competition later in the year.

First campus flu ~ "Adrienne tango comes to UK

SlAFf RU’ORT

University Health Services diagnosed at stu—

of the flu this season.

In a typical influcn/a season. about 50-]in
cases on campus are reported. said UHS Director
Gregory Moore.

The undergraduate male student who was die
agnosed had not received a flu shot this season.
Moore said. which is the best way to prevent the
flu.

UHS has given Loon flu shots this season and
students can still get a shot for St” at Student
Health Services.

Other ways to prevent the transmission of the
flu virus is to wash hands. avoid sharing things
and use disinfecting saniti/ers. Moore said.

Symptoms include high fever. fatigue.
headache. muscle aches and dry cough. but many
students often confuse the flu as a cold.

concern for new
gym cameras,
planners say

9y Katie Salt:
ksaltz@kykernel.com

Students may not have treadmills in their dorm
rooms. but they can access the campus exercise facility
without leaving their computers.

Student Govemment helped fund the installation
of two rotating cameras in the Johnson Center to
supply live still shots to the SG and Johnson Center
Web sites. The cameras were installed at the end of
October.

Ron Lee. director of campus recreation. said the
cameras are a convenience for students because they
can check the crowding of the facility to see if they
want to work out.

“People can see how crowded it is and know when
to come over.” Lee said.

The privacy of students was a major concern for
SG when they decided to fund the project. said Tyler
Fleck. SG deputy chief of staff.

"We didn‘t want students to feel unsafe." Fleck
said. “We made sure you cannot tell who students are.
you can't see faces and you can‘t zoom in."

Eric Wilson. a biology sophomore. said the cam-
eras do not make him feel unsafe when he is working
out at the center.

“I think it‘s a good idea because sometimes it can
be too crow ded." Wilson said. “(The cameras) don‘t
bother me at all."

SG is working to ensure that students are comfort—
able with the cameras and the organization may need to
adjust one of the shots. Fleck said.

“We feel one of the cameras might be too close up
so we‘re working to zoom out and blur the faces."
Fleck said.

Currently no signs or other notifications are posted
to infonn students about the new cameras.

Sitsie Groves. a communications senior. said it
would be better to tell students the cameras are there
before they work out.

"I think (the cameras) are a good idea." Groves
said. "But it might be nice to notify people."

Since there are cameras in other places on campus
without posted signs. Fleck said it should not be neces—
sary to infonn students about the cameras iii the John-
son Center.

“If there is an outcry from students then we would
work on something like that." he said.

“Student Govemnient researched all the issues be-
fore w‘e invested our time and money into this." Heck
said. "We‘ve heard both sides of the argument and the
majority of people feel it's beneficial."

Carolyn Whaley. an English education graduate
student. said she would rather Just walk to the Johnson
Center before checking online.

“I guess the purpose makes sense. but I would
probably walk here and get exercise on the way." Wha-
ley said.

SG allocated $1.5m) of their yearly budget for
the cameras, and the Johnson (‘enter paid about
STSoo.

Lee said the Johnson (‘enter received a great
deal because the EarthCam company. which in-
stilled and monitors the cameras. is owned by a UK
graduate.

“They cut us a great deal." Lee said. “The real val~
tie is about “8.000."

One camera monitors the free weight area and the
gym. and another monitors the climbing wall and both
ends of the cardio wing. The Web site also has a 24-
hour time lapse. Lee said. so students can see how
crowded the center has been at different times during
the day.

The idea for the cameras originated last year during
the 50 University Relations Cabinet's research of top-
20 universities. Fleck said.

“We found many schools have cameras in their
workout centers. and they said it‘s been very benefi-
cial." Fleck said. “It promoted their Web sites and ftwd
up their workers."

The cameras also could help promote SG ser-

vices by drawing students to the 80 Web site. Fleck
said.

New court docu-
ments reveal how
Britney Spears has
failed as a mother,
while new ques-
tions arise about
her mental compe-
tence as her be-
havror grows even
more bizarre

By Kevin O'Leary

On October 30. Britney
Spears had her monitored visits
with her two sons set to three
times a wcck by an LA. Superi—
or Court judgc, who frowned on
the poor results of hcr evalua-
tion by a parenting coach. So.
on November 4. with hcr time
with the boys morc prccious
than cvcr. Spcars did what
comes naturally: She took them
shopping. Two hours after Scan.
2. and Jaydcn. 14 months. were
dropped off at her Beverly Hills
mansion. she pulled up to the
Crystal Placc design shop near
LA. — and thcn promptly left
them in her car. handing off
mommy duties to thc court-ap—
pointed monitor (whose job dc-
scription docs not include
babysitting). “Shc said she was
looking for somcthing modem
for her entryway." owner Shawn
lryami tclls Us. After five tirin—
utes. she chose two chandeliers.
worth $183.80. before departing.

The scene came a more five
days after portions of a damning
report from court-appointed par-

 

cnting coach Lisa Hackcr wcrc

rclcascd. "During all thrcc of

my visits. Ms. Spears rarely cn»
gagcd with childrcn in convcrsa»
tion or play." statcd Hackcr.
adding that Spears' interactions
with hcr boys wcrc not child—
ccntercd and that the mood at
homc ranged “front chaotic to
almost somber." Hacker summa~
ri/cd Spcars‘ parcnting as not
“abusive in the traditional
sense" icmphasis added).

Could this be the same star
who once called motherhood hcr
"ultimate goal"? With her zom—
bic—likc dcmcanor around the
kids and her deteriorating per-
sonal appcarancc. friends are
worried that Spears‘ mental state
is taking a turn for the dire. "It‘s
not substance abuse — it‘s men-
tal!" bclicvcs a confidant. who
suspects adult—onset ADD or dc-
prcssion and adds “pOstpartum
has always been a problem."
The emotional disconnect is so
severe. says another pal. that a
month after temporarily losing
custody. “it's just starting to hit
her that she‘s really in trouble
and can‘t see her boys when she
wants.”

As Spears reaches the onc-
y'car anniversary of her split
with Kevin chcrlinc. she has
become so erratic. says the con»
lidant. that hcr own best friend.
Alli Sims. has trouble telling if
it‘s mental instability or drugs.
“When she starts acting really
bad. they have a number Alli
can call to do a urine screen."
says thc source. “Alli's like. '1
want to know if she‘s on some—
thing.'" (The results have been
consistently clean. adds the pal.)

which turned bizarre when

Project finds industrial toxins in consumers’ bodies

Quinn Lam
Detroit Free Press

DETROIT - A project to test
35 people in seven states, in-
cluding five Michiganders. for
industrial chemicals common in
household products found all
had the toxins in their bodies -
though none at levels posing im—
mediate health concerns.

The chemicals shouldn‘t be
in humans. but most people
don‘t know they‘re being ex-
posed. said Dr. Ted Schettler of
Ann Arbor. physician for the
study.

The chemicals are found in
tens of thousands of consumer
products including wallpaper.
furniture. carpet. linings of tin
cans. plastic water bottles.
shampoos, lotions. baby bot-
tles, nail polish. perfume and
toys.

A Michigan legislator and a

New York woman who grew up
in Michigan had high levels of
P88. or polybrominated
biphenyl. which Schettler said
likely came from cattle feed that
was accidentally contaminated
with P88 in 1973.

"The point is not the levels.
but the fact that these things get
into all our bodies." said
Genevieve Howe of the Michi-
gan Network for Children’s Eti-
vironmental Health. which
helped with the study. "They are
not being regulated."

Exposure to certain amounts
of these chemicals is linked in
animal and some human studies
to birth defects. problems with
brain development. cancers. re—
productive problems. liver dam-
age and other conditions.

Some of the tests show other
effects at lower levels of expo—
sure for some of the chemicals.
But the scientists agree that
more is unknown than known

about their effects.

For example. exposure to
P38 occurred 30 years ago and
the two Michigandcrs with mea~
surahle levels aren‘t sick.

The three classes of chemi»
cals studied are phthalates. used
in flexible plastics: bisphenol A.
found in food can linings and
plastic bottles. and flame retar~
dams. or PBDEs.

Those tested in Michigan
were state Rep. Terry Brown.
48. a Democrat from Pigeon.
and his sort Bryan. l2: Donele
Wilkins. 48. and her son Payton.
18. of Detroit. and 46-year—old
Free Press Twist magazine edi-
tor Laura Varon Brown of
Bloomfield Hills. Wilkins is di-
rector of Detroiters Working for
Environmental Justice.

The 30 other people were
tested in Alaska. Connecticut.
Illinois. Massachusetts. Min-
nesota and New York.

Jacob Tamme could not stop
crying.

For 15 minutes the senior
tight end balled his eyes out as
he walked among the thousands
of people on C .M. Newton Field
at Commonwealth Stadium
looking for whomever he could

win over Georgia.

At the time. it was the fifth
win of the season for the Cats.
putting them just one game shy
of bowl eligibility. But for
players like Tamme. who had
endured years of losing at UK.
the victory represented much
more.

"It was an emotional win be-
cause that was the first time
we'd really gotten over the
hump against one of those top
teams." Tamme said. "It was a
tuming point for the program."

The victory over Georgia
was UK‘s first since 1996. This
Saturday. the Cats want to prove
it was not a lucky win.

“You don‘t want them to
come back and say it was a

sophomore defensive end Jere-

that can throw a pass as hard as
be can."

As good as Stafford has
been, it has been the emergence
of redshin freshman running
back Knowshon Moreno that
has allowed the Dawgs' passing

tailback. who Brooks said runs
like he is mad. has 1.104 yards

"There are times when you
think he's down. and all of a
sudden he spins out of it. puts a
hand on the ground and comes
out there and makes more
yards." Brooks said. “He‘s an
angry runner."

And if Moreno and Stafford
were not enough. the Cats will

Last year’s snub motivates soccer team

By the time the men's soccer team
reached conference play this year. it ap—
peared that hope for a successful 2007 sea—
son had been lost.

At that point. the Cats held a 2—5-2
record. were persistently nagged by injuries.
and their play indicated that it was not going
to get any better.

However. UK slowly regained health.

games and earned the No. 3 seed in the C-

No. O seed Marshall today at 3:30 pm, in

"We're just looking forward at this
point." sophomore forward Tim Crone said.
“We want to mow to ourselves that we're as

Before this season began. the ('ats'

hopes were to qualify for the NCAA Tour—
nament after being snubbed in 2006.

After finishing as runners-up in the reg—
ular season (‘~USA standings and touma-
ment. the Cats ended last year at No. 13 in
the National Soccer Coaches of America
poll but were not awarded an at—large bid for
the NCAA tournament.

"We still have a point to prove from last
year." head coach Ian Collins said.

Now. the Cats (7-9-2. 5~3 C-USAi will
likely have to win this year's conference
tournament to qualify for the NCAA tour-
nament. To capture the conference title.
LTK must win three games over a five—day
span. Although it is a daunting task.
Collins said he knows what it takes to pull
it off.

“You absolutely must concentrate on
one game at a time." Collins said. “If you
lose. you're done. The team that wins this
thing will be the team that guts it up and
concentrates on doing everything correct-
l.\r"

In L'K's first meeting with Marshall on
Oct. 24. the Cats defeated the Thundering

Herd 3—] behind sophomore defender Bany
Rice's two goals,

Although the Cats defeated Marshall
soundly less than a month ago. the Herd will
have revenge on the mind.

"We've been preparing a lot for this
game. and we're feeling pretty good about
it." Crone said. “We feel ready but we‘re go—
