When applying it in the bathroom, they would then press their lips to the mirror and leave lip prints. Before it got out of hand, he thought of a way to stop it. He gathered all the girls together who wore lipstick and told them he wanted to meet with them in the ladies room at 2 pm. They gathered at 2 pm. and found the principal and the school custodian waiting for them. The principal explained that it was becoming a problem for the custodian to clean the mirror every night. He said he felt the ladies did not fully understand just how much of a problem it was, and he wanted them to witness just how hard it was to clean. The custodian then demonstrated. He took a long brush on a handle out of a box. He then dipped the brush in the nearest toilet. moved to the mirror and proceeded to remove the lipstick. That was the last day the girls pressed their lips on the mirror. — Source: http://www.jokman. com/Archives/ school.htm -RONNONI’0N Tmnarrawe weather fig 5.1 3.7 Get ready for the big time baby, as temps should get up to the 705 (you heard right) by the weekend.

Luhan said. “They also had to be able to be carried in a valise. or small package." Assistant Professor Greg Luhan's studio and architecture class decorated the old Anderson Hall green space with “body wraps.“ or compact portable hous mg. “The idea is to create a human sup- porting shelter that is easily movable and compact.“ Luhan said. “It has to keep people warm." The housing has to be compact. The packages had to be 14 by 16 by 22 inches to fit into the cargo hold of an air- plane and also to allow a homeless person to carry it with him/her wherever they go. “We plan on taking a trip to possibly do a joint studio with Virginia Tech and cainp out using this housing."

Taking ‘rape drug’ seriously Eyes on prevention: Recent legislation seeks to upgrade Rohypnol to level of heroin, cocaine By Brandon Hart STAFF WRITER Imagine the horror of waking up in an unfamiliar room with- out any cloti’ies on and discover- ing mysterious bruises covering your body. As brutal as this nightmare seems, it is something that is be- coming more prevalent in cities across America. The culprit in these situations is a drug known as Rohypnol. According to the National In- stitute of Drug Abuse. Rohypnol is a name brand for the drug Flu- nitrazepam. The druc is produced legally in Mexico. and is used throughout Europe as a sedative and sleeping pill. but is common 1y used to commit rape in the US. The US. government agrees with the notion that the use of Ro~ hypnol. and other so called “date rape drugs." must be dealt with in a swift and tactful manner. The Department of Justice says Flunitrazepam started as a Schedule IV drug. meaning that it had little chance of becoming a problem. But there has been re- cent legislation by Congress to move the drug to Schedule I. This means the drug will be classified with LSD and heroin. because it does not have any medical value. and will bring about tougher pe- nalities for distribution and pos- session. The Emergency NeWs Service said F‘liinitrazepam goes by many street names including roofies. ruffles. roche. R-2. rib and rope. Although it is legal in many countries. Rohypnol cannot legal- ly be sold in the United States. The NIDA says it is predominant- ly being smuggled in from Mexico and Columbia. where it is very in- expensive. The ENS calls Rohypnol the "date rape drug" of choice. be- cause it is cheap and is easy to find in most large American cities. The drug is very similar iii nature to Valium and Halcyon. but is 10 times stronger. accord- ing to the ENS. it is most often placed into the beverage of the unsuspecting victim. and can be- gin ef'fecting them within 20 min- utes of inception. “it is really scary that there are drugs like this floating around out there. but the really frightening thing is the people who are using them." said Va- lerie Simpkins. an undeclared sophomore. According to the Legislative Information Homepage. the Vio. lence Against Women Act II of 1999 ordered that Flunitrazepam be moved from Schedule 1V to Schedule I. because of its link to date rape. “I think that drugs with no medical value should be dealt with in different ways." said Scan Benson. a biology freshman. “People who use and sell these drugs should be dealt with just like people who deal more se- vere drugs like heroin or cocaine. because of the way that they are used." Simpkins said. Along with Flunitrazepam. there are several other drugs that are being targeted by the govern- ment as date rape drtigs. Kcta- mine Hydrochloride and gamma y-hydroxybutyrate are two other drugs also under fire. The Date Rape Prevention Act (if 1999, sponsored by Rep, Bart Stupak (D-Michigaii). targets several drugs that may be used to facilitate date rape. including the ones mentioned above. “Hopefully the new legisla- tion will help slow the problem down. so people can go to clubs without worrying about some thing like this happening to them." Benson said. For more. information about Rohypnol and other “date rape drugs." go to http: , www.cmer gencycom. The Lexington Rape Crisis Center Hotline number is 253-2511.

But this year. April is a month ofgiving. UK is kicking oil‘tlic first annual spring campaign for the United Way. In past years. the campaign has been held in the fall. "Last year. l'K asked (the I'iiitcd Wayi iftlicy could rtiii a spring campaign instead of the fall caiiipziign.” said \‘an Florence. executive vice president of l'nitcd Way of the Bluegrass. The fall campaign "put a lot of burden on the l'niversity. with classes starting." he said. The campaign starts on April 1 and runs the entire month.

"Our goal is $490,000.” said Kris Hob- son. corchair of l'K's catiipaigii who works iii Research and Graduate Studies. The organization implemented a plan iii 1998 to break $10 million this year. Florence said this will require an average increase of 11 percent per year. With the watermark at $7.3 million iii 1997. $8.1 tiiillioii in 1998 aitd a projected $9.1 million this year. the goal.

RI , , Ac- cording to Brown University Police and Security (BUPS). a Brown student was targeted in a possible credit card scam on March 17 at 11:25 am. The student reported that she received a phone call from a female who represent- ed herself as a Citibank VISA employee. The caller said that she needed to verify the student's date of birth and social secu- rity number. When the student asked the caller her name and the toll-free number at which she could be contacted. the caller became evasive and hung up. The caller then called back saying she had the student‘s information. but still refused to give her name or number. Two days after the inci- dent. Mark Perry. BUPS crime prevention officer. sent out a crime alert “over cam- pus watch [e—mail] and h- board." In addition. the police spread the news and preven- tion tips to first-year stu- dents. “[We] contacted all the counselors to get the word out." said Damaris Castillo- Lopes. BUPS coordinator for special services. The effort to spread awareness spurred reports of similar incidents. "After I sent the e-mail to counselors. I got two phone calls from students saying it happened to them. so I think people are becoming aware that this is a scam." Castillo- Lopes said. Unfortunately. not all of the seams were thwarted. “I did get some e-mails re- garding people who have got- ten a call and gave their infor- mation out." Perry said. “The student [targeted on March 17] did the right thing she was smart" NAHQIL Shepard trial begins ASSOCIATED PRESS LARAMIE. Wyo. , » A prosecutor asked 71 prospec- tive jurors yesterday to set aside the emotions of pity and rage if chosen for the trial in the death of gay college student Matthew Shepard. Prosecutor Cal Rerucha also told the panel to remember that Shepard. who was beaten and left tied to a fence in near- freezing weather last fall. was “a victim that was different. a victim that was not the same as you and I." But be emphasized that the Constitution requires all peo- ple to be treated fairly under the law. Rerucha‘s statements came as the trial of Russell Hender» son began in Albany County District Court. During his comments to po- tential jurors. defense attorney Wyatt Skaggs shifted the blame for the killing to Henderson's co- defendant. Aaron McKinney. who was to be tried later. “Russell Henderson was a witness to the beating of Matthew Shepard," Skaggs said. He also warned jurors they would be seeing ”really. really graphic" photos during the trial. As he said this. Matthew Shepard‘s mother. Judy. who was in the last row of the courtroom. slowly looked down. By the lunch break. to prospective jurors had been dis- missed for various reasons. in cluding health and business is- sues.

Jean Schreck is already making headway in he: profession. The second-year pharma- cy student has been elected to serve as president of the American Pharmaceutical As- sociation Academy of Stu- dents of Pharmacy. “I feel very excited,“ said Schreck, who is work- ing toward a doctorate in pharmacy. “I’m proud of the fact that I’ve been chosen to represent and lead the phar- macy students." The academy encompass- es the nation’s 83 pharmaceu— tical schools and more than 18,000 students. Schreck will serve as pres- ident-elect for one year to learn all the nuances of the job and serve as full president for another year. At first Schreck wanted to run for one of two member-at large positions. Any pharma- cy student can run for any of the national offices, but when she arrived at the convention in San Antonio, she found only one candidate was run- ning for president. "I talked to a lot of people. and they wanted a choice." she said. “So I just took the risk. I guess it really paid off." Schreck’s new job isn't a figurehead position. As president, she will have a voting voice in the associa- tion's professional meetings. Schreck will be going to other pharmacy schools as part of an outreach program and attending business and committee meetings in Wash— ington. Lucky for Schreck, the association foots the bill on travel expenses. “As a poor college student it’s not always easy to do this," she said. “I’m going to have to rearrange all of my fi- nals for a meeting we have during the last week of April.” After graduating with a degree in chemistry from Penn State, Schreck, original- ly from New York, moved to Pikeville, where she said there was little work for a chemist. She got a job at the town’s pharmacy, where she devel- oped a passion for the field. “Everywhere I go now, I speak of pharmacy." she said. “I see what pharmacists can do. We’re there to help people understand and get the most out of their medicine. “Pharmacists don’t just fill prescriptions anymore, we want to educate patients." Before coming to UK, Schreck worked for Pfizer, the pharmaceutical company that markets Viagra. After graduating she had thought about going back to work for the company, but working with the association has swayed her toward public policy. “A lot of what the Amer- ican Pharmaceutical Associ- ation does is help pharma- cists do their job." said Schreck who is also working toward a master’s in public administration.

L... ;J jElLANDSLHDQLi Man barred from all us. colleges after sex scandal By Jennifer Zeis YHE DAILY CAMPUS STORRS, Conn. *7 A con- victed sex offender who solicit- ed female students on campus was banned from all college campuses in the United States. a Superior Court judge ruled on Tuesday. John Urban. 38, of Billeri- ca. Mass. is free after posting $150,000 bail. Under the condi- tions of the bail. Urban was ordered to stay away from all female college undergradu- ates. “The bond conditions are our efforts to assure the citizen- ry of UConn that they are safe. and that Mr. Urban is not a threat to them." said defense lawyer James Sulick. Urban was arrested March 9 on weapons charges after a sock filled with rocks. a brown lockblade knife, handcuffs with a chain. rope and two condoms were found in his vehicle. On March 18, Urban was charged by UConn police with three counts of stalking and two counts of disorderly con- duct after he appeared at the police station to pick up his impounded vehicle.

Marisa Nadolny. an eighth— semester English/anthropolo gy major. said she was uncer- tain of how effective the ban would be. She said Urban might try to alter his identity should he ever come back to UConn. and a ban should have been imple- mented from the beginning of the investigation. Urban was convicted in 1982 of raping a child. stalking and kidnapping. He was sen- tenced to life in Bri
