Engagements

Good 01'
boy wedding

There would be a
"Rehearsal Dinner
Kegger" until the
cops showed up.

Bridesmaids would wear
matching blue Jean
cut-offs, halter tops
and have no tan
lines with more skin
showing than not.

Tuxes would have team
logos on the back
and the Nike shoes
would have matching
team colors.

June weddings would
have to be scheduled
around basketball
playoffs.

The couple would leave
the ceremony in a
souped up '73
Charger or some
other Mopar with
racing tires and
flame designs on the
side of the car.

Anyone who tried to
dance with the bride,
unless they were
really old. would get
punched in the head.

Outdoor weddings would
be held during
sporting events at
halftime or between
innings.

Napkins would have the
name of the local
pub or tavern
because they were
stolen.

Favors would be
matchbooks, cigars
or free drink passes
at the local lounge.

The bride's dress would
show cleavage. her
navel and be form-
fitted to show off
everything else.

The ceremony would be
inexpensive
compared with the
cost of the bachelor
party. (Strippers and
liquor really add up.)

"The people we signed our

have to go by all their new rules.

They are even going to charge us
an extra $1.000 for breaking the
lease.“

On the inside: UK may be
model for new type of surgery

By Karla Dooley
ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR

The UK Medical Center is positioning
itself to become a model of training for
minimally invasive surgery.

A $2.4 million gift front the United
States Surgical Corp. will help launch a
center with two laboratories and a virtual
reality center to teach surgical techniques.

”There‘s a whole different set of skills
(involved in minimally invasive surgery)."
said Adrian Park. director of the proposed
Minimally Invasive Surgery Center and an
associate professor in the College of Medi-
cine.

Minimally invasive surgery. or 1a~
paroscopy. involves making a tiny incision.
then using a laparoscope to project internal
images onto a television screen. The la-
paroscope is a lighted tube with a tiny catn-
era inside that magniﬁes the image.

Park said local surgeons. residents. in-
terns and faculty members who learned
only the traditional surgical procedures
will beneﬁt from the center.

Minimally invasive surgery has be-
come a popular alternative for dozens of
procedures. Park said. because it offers a
number of benefits. including a reduced
hospital stay. little or no scarring. and a
short recovery period.

For example. a patient undergoing gall

at home. Now. a laparoscopy patient will

anrl be back to work within three days,

Although there are a number of other
laparoscopy training centers throughout
the country. l’ark said I'K's will be unique
in that it will pull together a range of med

Senate remembers pharmacy professor

By John lampior

5—H" WRITER

The University Senate yesterday ob-
served a moment of silence to honor the
memory of Michael Lach. an information
technology specialist in the pharmacy de-
partment. who recently lost his battle with
cancer.

Lach came to UK in l98t) and coit-
tributed to the technological advances in
the Library at UK. In 1994. he became the
first information technology specialist at

I‘K. working with the Department of Phar-
macy. His success led to the rlevelrnimcnt
of similar positions in various other de-
partments at l'k’.

A resolution was presented before the
Senate honoring l,ach's .‘ichievements.

The Senate also altered ITK‘s current
tuition waiver policy. allowing non-credit
courses anrl continuing education courses
to be included in the list of courses full-
time faculty and slalfcan take, I’rtwiously.

labs set up within a month
and to launch the curriculum
July 1. The center will be
housed on the third floor of
the Medical Center.

In addition to a new cur-

the center will enable sur-
geons to use interactive video
technology to beam laparo-
