of Hollywood films and Broadway
plays including "Dr. Dolittle" and

great speaker."

Origins

Martin Luther King, Jr. is only
the second American to get a na-
tional holiday named after him. The
other is President George Washing-
ton.

King received the honor after
lobbying from various members of
Congress. which began shortly after
his death. California was the first
state to acknowledge his birthday
as a holiday in 1970. A petition to
designate the holiday, led by the
Southern Christian Leadership Con-
ference,was submitted to Congress
with six million signatures.

ln t983 then President Ronald
Reagan signed legislation designat-
ing the third Monday of January for
the holiday. it wasn't officially rec-
ognized as a national holiday until
1986. It is the first new holiday
since Memorial Day was added in
1948.

Gone but not forgotten: National holiday celebrates the life and ideas
of civil rights leader who changed the course of American history

By Casey Hamilton

‘ilAll WHlllR

Half a century ago. Rosa

Parks was fighting for her

seat on a bus. our govern

white and black children
were shunned l‘roin equal ed
ucatioii,

Those conditions have all
changed today. in large part
because ol‘ one man‘s dream
to unify Americans.

Monday is Martin Luther

ers. students and lll'till'SStll‘\

Though King‘s birthday
is today. in loan the third
Monday in January was cho
sen :is the date to honor him

”The holiday is a coin-
iiiemoration of his entire
struggle. Not just for black
people. but for Hispanics.
women and whites who felt
uiidi~rrepresented." said
April Short. an English so
iiior who works at the Martin
Luther King (‘ultural (‘enter
in the Student (‘eiiter.

King first made headlines
witli the 1938 boycott of. the
{\lontgoniery llus System. He
was one of the first black
leaders to vocalize opposition
to segregation in the South.

"He gave leaderslilp to
the move to change the
South." said (‘hester S
(iriiiidy. director of the other»
ol‘ .\trican .\iiierican Student
.\tt:iirs at l'lx' "He would not
compromise.”

Besides influencing civil
rights leaders like Malcolm
X. King‘s impression extends
into nearly every aspect of
American society. English
professor Erik Reece said.

“King is the most inlluen-
tial .‘\llll‘l‘ll‘;lll in the second
half of the 20th century." he
said.

Along with leading
protests against oppression.
King presented a liless‘age of
peace and activism that has
stood for three decades.

“llis influence is so per-
vasiye in our culture that we
don‘t even realize it." Reece
said “He was a unifier and
not a divider He didn‘t want
a new country. but looked to
the (‘oiistitution and wanted

what it said it was."

While many view King
only as a civil rights leader.
near the end of his life he be-
came a voice for other causes.

"Between 196.168. he
evolved in the scope of his
moral concern and he came
to link Vietnam to the prob
lems of race and poverty.”
(lrttnrly said. “He attacked
what he called the three ey ils

Militarism. Materialism
and Racism."

(lrundy said some fear

presented in history hooks is
too one-dimensional and

siliiwmi ’7

Students taking communi
cation classes this semester got
a golden bonus With their roti-
tine syllabi last week a
memo outlining ['niversity pol-
icy on plagiarism and cheating.

The memo. printed on
bright gold paper. was distrilr
uted to all students in commu-
nication classes in an effort to
increase student awareness of
the issue

"This is the first time we‘ve
done this.“ said Nancy Harring-
ton. depamneiit chair of the De»
partiiient of (‘ommunication.
"We've had enough cases of pla-
giarism and cheating to war-
rant it. Students are supposed
to be aware that plagiarism and
cheating are not allowed."

The memos gave defini-
tions for plagiarism and cheat-
ing and surprised some stu-
dents

"I think it's pretty sad that
they think we don't know what
plagiarism is." said Kevin
Stevenson. a teleconimunica-
tions senior.

Stevenson added that while
some people remain uneducat-
ed. "by this point in time.
everyone should know the dit
ference between right and
wrong."

The greater purpose of the
memos. however. was to edit-
cate students about the penal-
ties imposed for cheating and
plagiarizing

The minimum penalty is
an E for the course

The E is permanent and
cannot be overridden by taking
a repeat option.

More serious penalties in-
clude suspension or expulsion
from the university.

Though the consequences
are severe. most students agree
with them.

"If you're trying to turn in
something that isn't yours. you
ought to get harsh punish‘
ment.” Stevenson said.

Jeff Denibo. L'K's -\cadeiiiic
Ombud. said the university
handles. 30 to 40 plagiarism and
cheating cases per year.

Of the 523 cases last y' ir. 28

Vlhat is plagiarism?

As defined in the UK
Student Handbook, plagia-

tempo of the bombing in the Zawar region picked
up with daylight raids Sunday and continued
Monday. The bombing was so intense that it rat-

UK graduate on trial
for OxyContin deaths

MILTON. Fla. - A doctor. who is a graduate of UK'S medical
school and accused of manslaughter for prescribing the
painkiller ()xyContin to four patients who died of overdoses.
went on trial Monday in the Florida Panhandle.

Dr. James Graves is one of the first doctors in the nation to
be tried on charges that his OxyContin prescriptions resulted
in death.

Graves. :11. of nearby Pace. also is charged with unlawful
delivery of a controlled substance and racketeering. He could
face tip to 30 years in prison if convicted.

The trial began in (‘ircuit Court here with jury selection
and was expected to last four weeks. Opening statements were
scheduled to begin Tuesday.

Graves. a family practitioner and pain control specialist. at
one time prescribed more ()xy(‘ontin than any other physician
in Florida. according to records from Medicaid and Tricare. a
federal insurance program for military personnel. their fami-
lies and retirees.

()xyContin. a time-release version of the painkiller oxy—
codone. has become a popular street drug valued by recreation-
al users for its quick high when tablets are crttshed and inhaled
or mixed with water and injected.

Florida recorded 152 deaths attributed to overdoses of Oxy-
(‘ontin and other morphine-like prescription drugs in the last
six months of 2000. a report by the state‘s medical examiners
shoWs.

"I cotnpare ()xyt‘ontin to a quart of moonshine." said
Gregg Wood. a health care fraud investigator for the US attor-
ney‘s office in Roanoke. Va. who has specialized in OxyContin
cases. "If you take that whole quart of moonshine. it would
probably kill you."

Graves. a former Navy physician. was arrested in July 2000
after months of investigation

Law enforcement officials began investigating after receiv~
ing complaints from former employees. family members of
dead patients and pharmacists. including some who stopped
filling his prescriptions because they considered them exces-
sive.

Pharmacists coined the term “Graves cocktail" for his pro»
scriptions that included two other drugs. the painkiller Lortab
and the tranquilizer Xanax. as well as OxyContin.

As Terri Sloan enters her
workplace everyday. she sees
many of the same things one
might see in a doctor's ottice.

She sees a waiting room
with magazines on racks. a re-
ceptionist office with filing cab-
inets and series of exam rooms
with patients on cushy beds.

This resemblance to a med-
ical office and the respect it gar-
ners are intentional at Blue-
grass Professional Massage.

Bluegrass Professional. like
many other therapeutic mas-
sage businesses in Lexington
and around the country. is con-
scious of the image it presents
to its patrons.

“It‘s not a weird place at all,
It's really pretty plain." said
Sloan. a massage therapist at
Bluegrass Professional.

The office is plain because
the therapeutic massage indus-
try is trying to show the public
its true purpose one that con-
trasts with the once widely held
belief that massage businesses
were fronts for prostitution.

The emergence of legiti-
mate massage clinics . dozens
in Lexington alone has
helped to shed the stigma of im-
propriety that used to be com-
mon in the industry.

people out there are trained in
therapeutic massage and are
highly skilled." Sloan said.

According to the American
'l‘herapeutic Massage Associa
tion. 17 percent of adults have
had a massage in the last year.
more than double what it was
ten years ago.

Such a number suggests a
growing trend that massages

“i wasn't sure a massage
would help my back problems. I
thought anyone can massage
But these people are profession
als, and it makes a ditference."
Bryant said.

Sloan said the inclusion of
required training for most clin-
ics has caused a rise in perfor-
mance and an elimination of
any ties to prostitution

“We teach how to educate
your clients that it‘s not sexual

Even with the increase in
massages around the country.
the industry hasn't totally shaks
en the image of the "shady inas-
sage parlor." Sloaii thinks this
is the result of the way massage
is still presented by the media,

"The movies and TV don't
usually show real massages."
she said. "They show all that
other stutt."

Sloan said a common hesi
tancy among firsttime clients
is to get a massage from a man.
She estimated that eight of ten
massage therapists are women,

"Most men don‘t want a
man to massage them because
of the discomfort of being
naked." Sloan said.

Bryant agreed, saying he
might feel weird being inas-
saged by another man

Despite those misgivings.
Bryant still recommends inas-
sages to anyone,

"it really relaxes your mus»
cit-s." he said. simply.

After all. relaxation is the
key to a successful massage.

Passing
the time

If you are anything
like me. I would
suggest that you
get professional
help immediately
When that
doesn't work.
accept the fact

and embrace who

you are because
you have
insomnia. Of

Course. that's not

my only
characteristic.
but if I explained
any further l'd
just be bragging.

The following IS a

list of things to
do to past the
time in the wee
hours of

the night.

P.S. l was going to
leave this blank
signifying that
there is not a lot

to do at night but

the editors
insrsted that I
think of at least
something.

Recalculate your

budget and cut all

nonessential

spending in order

to allow more
beer. Who really
needs a

telephone and car

insurance?

Call 24-hour

technical support

lines with phony
cases. Tell them
that you smell
smoke and then
hang up with a
deathly scream.

Ponder the mysteries

of life. but stop
just before you
come to the

realization that
reality doesn't
exist. Stuff like
that can really
mess you up.

Recrte each episode
of Nick at Night
shows by heart
so you won't
waste electricity
having the TV
always on. Trust
me. it won't
take long to
remember them.

Categorize all your
clothes by age,
sex, weight and
hobbies, but do
not start naming
them - that's
just crazy.

Trace your thought
process back to
last Wednesday.
That might clue
you into why
you've been
thinking about

the mating habits

of elephants and
their effect on
global warming.

Firmly press and hold
your hands over
your eyes and
gaze at all of the
pretty colors. 00
not doubt me.
you will
see them.

Perform rigorous
tests to discovery
the physics
behind making
your pencil
wiggle by shaking
it. lt can't just be
an illusron; it’s
way to cool for
such a simple
explanation.

If you get really
bored and you've
already tried
counting your
hair and finishing
your homework.
you can always e“
mail the
rail editors.

IN OUR OPINION

Keep door open
with scholarships

Lack of funds for Robinson scholarships should not deny
desperately needed aid to hundreds of Appalachian students

One of UKs s‘p1 ior ities as an institution of higher education rests on e11su1ing
the d001s of opportunity are open to all Kentuckians willing and able to enter.
Scholarships are a key part of that opportunity, and while only a limited number
exist. the burden of keeping students afloat often falls to the university. For some
prospective students. the future of this money is uncertain.

Robinson scholarships. a renewable. all-expenses-paid award granted to first-
generation college students from eastern Kentucky. is struggling to survive as rev-
enues from the mining and logging industries at Robinson Forest dwindle. The less
than adequate revenues are causing a pinch in the endowment and a slumping
economy means lower investment income on the endowment All of this has offi-
cials doubting the f‘utcu e of the scholar ships past this decade.

Sevt‘ual UK students. as well as other environmentalists. support the efforts to
save the 15.0(l0-acre forest. which is managed by the Department of Forestry and
used as a teaching anti research source for students.

While it's understandable that environmentalists are not concerned about the
vanishing coal. administrators need to assume the responsibility of finding other
ways to guarantee financial assistance to the potential recipients of these
scholarships.

At this point. there are 394 students counting 011 the scholarship. so it seems fea-
sible that UK can figure out some way to allow this scholarship to thrive in
the future.

UK exists to educate Kentucky students. and this includes Appalachians as well.
They represent a group of people who come from a predominantly impoverished re-
gion and generally don‘t receive Singletary scholarships.

Without awards like the Robinson scholarship. these students might not even
have the chance to attend college.

The future of Appalachian students shouldn't have to suffer because of a dimin-
ishing fund. Administrators must find someway to ensure these students have the
financial aid available to them to pursue their dreams.

Make the most
of college life

As a senio1 I guess I hadn t spent much time reflecting
on the past four years until this weekend when I found my-
self at a table of new friends all of whom are freshmen and
each of whom hadn t experienced many of the adventures of
college life.

While I sat there feeling old. I began to reflect on what
has ensued over my college tenure. It's hard to believe col-
lege will write its final chapter in my book this May. but
some stories came to mind as I sat
there listening

My transition to college was fair—
ly typical: I started off headstrong.
knowing exactly what I wanted to do
and where I wanted to go. Before I
even met my roommate. I was man-
aging the thick cloud of frustration
between my parents. Parents are
great. but given the situation. it was
like trying to referee wild animals. It
just wouldn't work.

The people on my floor in the
dorm were a trip. Having chosen a
private school in Washington. D.(‘.. I guess I was blessed or
cursed with knowing them better than I would have ifI had
met them at UK. Amongst the funny situations. down the
hall lived a homophobic football player and his gay-butclos-
eted roommate. As you can imagine. this made for an
interesting match.

I had to coach my best friend. Matt. that. in fact. it was
OK to date. The poor guy was an only child and victim to his
parents' strict guidelines for relationships. I must say my
matchmaking has been a success. To this day. Matt and his
girlfriend are still dating. That was more than three
years ago.

While I lived in I).(‘.. the ("linton impeachment was
