at 10:30 am. Central time today

By Adam Sichlto
THE KENTUCKY KERNEL

UK Provost Mike Nietzel remained quiet
yesterday on whether he has been chosen as
the new president of Southwest Missouri State
University.

N ietzel is one of three finalists for the posi-
tion. The SMS Board of Governors — the
equivalent of UK's Board of Trustees — met
in closed session Wednesday to vote on the
university's next president.

“I have not talked to them
at all today." Nietzel said last
night.

SMS is introducing its
new president today at 10:30
am. Central time.

Asked whether he would
be in his office today. Nietzel
said. “I don't have any com-
ment on that."

SMS Board of Governors
member Mary Sheid con-
firmed that the vote was a unanimous 70 tally.

Sheid hinted that the results of the meet-
ing favor Nietzel.

“I think you probably have a fairly clear

Nietzel

idea who we selected." Sheid said. She de-
clined to comment on whom she voted for.

“If you wait to see the results of the an-
nouncement (today). you’ll have a good article
to write," she said.

Media outlets in Springfield, M0.. the home
of SMS. have done their fair share of guess-
work.

KOLR-TV reported Wednesday night that
an unidentified assistant in Nietzel's office
said he would be out of the office the rest of
the week. That same night. KYTV cited an
unidentified source that said the board wanted
to pick N ietzel.

Yesterday. the Springfield News-Leader cit-
ed three anonymous “campus sources" who

t N ietZel will leave UK

all said N ietzel was the board's choice.

Sheid said she has seen the television re
ports.

“I thought that they were fairly accurate,”
Sheid said.

N ietzel was at work yesterday and held a
late afternoon meeting with a UK dean, said
Maria Kemplin. a temporary secretary in Niet-
zel's office.

Since Kemplin was filling in for Nietzel’s
regular secretary. she said she didn’t have ac-
cess to his calendar for today.

John Sellars. a vice president at Syracuse
University and a finalist for the SMS presiden-
cy. said he would not be out of town today

GREENVILLE. S.C. UK simply just
ran out of time on the clock.

In its 62-57 opening-round loss in the
Southeastern Conference Tournament
yesterday to the Auburn Tigers in front
of 2.602 fans at the Bi-ln Center. the rally
came up short.

The Cats fought back within three
points late in the game, after they had
been trailing the Tigers by 15 points with
less than 12 minutes to go.

Despite shooting 30.8 percent from the
field in the second half. UK (15-15. 4-11
SEC) scrapped back against Auburn (16-
12. 7-8 SEC). The (‘ats relied on their de-
fensive pressure to get back into the
game. UK used a trapping. full-court
press to rattle the Tigers.

“The press effected us." said Auburn
head coach Nell Former. “When they got
in the mllcourt press. it got us out of our
offensive rhythm. Their press was ag~
gressive and gave us some problems."

The tough defensive effort was not
enough to overcome the Tigers sizeable
lead. but senior forward Sara Potts did

not go down without a fight. leading a ral-
ly that cut the Tigers' double-digit lead to
three points.

"We just got ourselves in a hole." said
UK head coach Mickie DeMoss. “It was a
little too much to overcome. we just did
not have enough. But i am proud of the
way we fought. and made a game out of it
at the end."

Potts led the (‘ats with 22 points on 8-
for»15 shooting from the field.

“We wanted to make her put the ball
on the floor to score" Former said.

An early 15—5 Auburn run in the mid
die of the first half gave the Tigers some
breathing room after the teams ex-
changed the lead eight times early on. De
spite the run and poor shooting. the (‘ats
were down nine points at the intermis-
sion.

The Auburn lead quickly grew early
in the second half as the Cats came out
slow from the locker room.

“Typical of us to have a lull at the be-
ginning of the half." DeMoss said. “I
don‘t know what it is. maybe my halftime
talk puts them to sleep.“

Q

Forum discusses
eating disorders

By Michele Fernandez-Cruz
THE KENTUCKY mm

Marketing and management junior Suzanne Jackson was
always involved in high school. describing herself as a people
pleaser who received good grades and was always involved.

Her transition from high school to college was no differ-
ent. In the spring semester of her freshman year. she began to
work out. losing more than 30 pounds by the end of the sum-
mer.

“l was 5'11. weighing 1:35 pounds.“ she said. “I don't know
why. but I just wanted to lose more and more weight. I would-
n‘t eat much of anything. but I thought it was a lot at the
time."

Jackson shared her experience battling anorexia at a f0-
rum for hope and recovery for eating disorders last night at
the WT. Young Library.

Running four to five miles a day. Jackson said she ate only
salads. adding a little chicken occasionally. The need to be
perfect continued to drive until an intervention by friends
and parents caused Jackson to get help.

“I missed out on the best times of my life because I was
obsessed with food and eating.“ she said. “It‘s a long recovery.
but you can do it.”

The forum was part of National Eating Disorder Aware-
ness Week. which seeks to inform students about eating dis-
orders and treatment options.

Nearly 5 to 10 million women and 1 million men in the
United States have an eating disorder. while $40 billion are
spend on dieting and diet‘related products each year. accord-
ing to the National Eating Disorder Association.

Eating disorders are tied to a combination of behavioral,
emotional. psychological. interpersonal and social factors. of-
ten beginning with a preoccupation with food and weight as a
means of coping and gaining control over an individual’s life.

Low self-esteem. feelings of lacking control. depression.
anxiety and anger can also be accompanying factors, feeding
the disorder.

The damages and consequences on the body and overall
health require counseling. careful attention to medical and
nutritional needs. and a strong support system.

Students looking for help on campus can visit the Coun-
seling & Testing Center. They can provide referrals for off-
campus treatment as well. said Jill Kindy. health education
coordinator for University Health Services. More information
on eating disorders can be found at wwweatingdisorder-
sanonymouscom.

Kindy said students seeking help should know recovery is
a slow but worthwhile process.

“There is no instant cure." Kindy said. "It‘s a multi-
faceted approach.

“Don't look for big changes right away: you have to be pa-
tient with it."

Bush promises search for bin Laden will continue

By Jim VandeHei and Peter Baker
THE WASHINGTON Posf’WT

WASHINGTON 7 When President
Bush made a rare mention Thursday of
the country's most wanted terrorist
Osama bin Laden» he returned to a per—
son and issue that dominated the presi-
dential election but has largely vanished
from Bush's speeches afterwards.

In the three months since his re-eleo
tion. Bush has focused speeches on So-
cial Security. limiting lawsuits and Iraq.
but said little about al-Qaida or mea-
sures needed to head off attacks in the
United States that had dominated his
campaign speeches. He did not say the
word terrorism in his inaugural ad-
dress.

White House officials said the presi-
dent is simply transitioning from a
wartime candidate to a second-term
president with a robust domestic agen»
da. But Democrats and a few Republi-
cans — said Bush is not putting enough

 

airlines from another attack.

At a congressional hearing Thurs-
day. Rep. John Hostettler, R-lnd.. said he

was "deeply disappointed"
that Bush is not fighting for
the large increase in border
patrol agents called for by the
bipartisan commission that
investigated the Sept. 11. 2001.
terrorist attacks. "We need
more agents and we need to do
a smarter and better job,”
Robert Bonner. commissioner
of 11S. (‘ustoms and Border
Protection. said at the hear-
ing.

"I‘ve been disappointed
that more emphasis has not
been put on homeland securi~
ty because the threat is gen-
uine and real.” said Lee

Hamilton. a former Democratic con—
gressman and vice chair of the 9 11
commission. “We must. must accelerate
our efforts to protect the homeland.

There really is a need for a greater sense

of urgency throughout the government

and the president has to provide that
leadership."

White House officials said

“We 068d they are doing significant work

more agents rity Department and tighten
security. but see little need for

to do 3 Just because the threat

level may not be going up. does-
n‘t mean we aren‘t taking addi-
tional measures to strengthen
the homeland from terrorist at-
tack.“ said White House press
secretary Scott McClellan.

Bush‘s appearances Thurs-
day stood in contrast to his oth-
erwise laser-like public focus
on restructuring Social Securi-
ty and limiting lawsuits. "We‘re on a
constant hunt for bin Laden. we‘re keep
ing the pressure on him. keeping him in
hiding." Bush said.
