Students
teal end at
term burn

Experts saggestfim,
relaxation as remedy

By Brian Dunn
Assistant News Editor

Krista Krahulek sat on a bench in “him
llall Classroom Building hunched over a
book.

She pulled her legs up under the book and
folded thetn. She fixed her eyes on the text.

“I just want it over," said the marine biology
junior of pressures surrounding her and many
other students as they near the end of the
semester.

“You just get to the point where you want it
over.”

She's not the only student, or professor, who
wants it all to end. The classes, tests. meetings,
intramurals, family and friends — the list is
continuous for the college student and profes-
sor.

And the effect is often burnout.

“At this point in the semester, it feels like
you‘re taking notes and regurgitating." sociology
senior Kristi Wyatt said.

Burnout is common among college students
and professors, said Nikki Fulks, director of the
Counseling Center.

“People who are feeling burned-out often feel
trapped,” she said. “They’re under heavy gun-
ning, and don’t feel they have any options.

“People suffering frotn burnout often say, ‘No
matter what I do, things won’t get any better.”
Fulks said.

Then people show signs of burnout — stress.
fatigue, headaches, backaches. nervousness,
moodiness, irritability and feeling jtist blah.

“The issue with burnout is there's a lot of
energy going out and not a lot coming back."
Fulks said. People pttt energy into all they
have committed themselves to and get little
back in the forin of rest and relaxation. she
said.

But burnout can be reduced, and may be pre—
vented, ifpeople learn to manage their time and
learn to say no. she said.

“People feel pulled in nine different direc—
tions,” Fulks said.

College students especially don't want to
miss anything or hurt anyone's feelings, she
said, so they always say ‘yes,’ committing them-
selves to the nine different strings that tug on
them.

A lot does go on with college students, littlks
said. Most have to handle finances, shopping.
cooking, school, work, friends and family.

“There’s a lot going on in college in not a lot
of time," Fttlks said. And college students who
have trouble saying no and managing their time
make the clock tick faster.

The life of the average student

So what does that make the life

campus organizations?

careful planning.

“I like my life to be somewhat
stressful." said Melanie Cruz. pres-
ident of the Student Government
Association. “But once or twice a
year, my body gets stressed otit
frotii not sleeping enough and not
eating right."

At that point. .she said, it‘s time
to sit home. eat ice cream and
watch TV for a few days.

“If you want to do a good job
yoti kind of always have to be
here," she said.

She also takes eight hours of

classes. attends about seven meet—
ings a week and occasionally
makes time to read to a blind stu-
dent.

To relieve the pressttre, she
tries to spend qtiality time with
friends.

:\nd when burnout really sets
in. some time with family is
required. Her mother is her best
friend. she said. :\ recent trip

“I had to see my family because

Cruz, said she is looking for—

Biology junior lauren Ki/er didn't need statistf
cal data from the :\iiici'ic.m Cancer Society.

She did it for herself.

“lt .ill depends on if you want to quit..' said
Ki/er, who smoked for two years before kicking

So Ki/er dropped it. titii like .t bad habit.

The society will once again urge stiiokcrs to do
the same for one day for the 30th annual

Started in 107" by a few smokers who wanted to
prove they could quit. the smokeout day spawns
more attempted qtiitters than any other day ofthe
year. Last year 10 million people participated in the
event. according to the society.

“( )ne ofthe positive things about this program
is that it doesn‘t try to be really too assertive about
getting people to quit." said Melissa Morrison.
bluegrass outreach coordinator for the Kentucky
Cancer l’rogram. ":\ lot of people are really defen-
sive about their cigarette smoking.

“The smokeotit is a way to make smokers .tware

“There's not a real good way to screen for lung

very costly and not very etasive. You can do Nantys.
btit they‘re not specific."

Screening lungs is complicated because they are

Programs aimed at unifying campus COIIIIIIIIIITW

 

 

By Jlll Erwin

Senior Staff H’riter

The Martin Luther King, Jr.,
Cultural Center will be hosting
two forums, the first tonight at
7:30 titled “African-American
Male and Female Relations." The
center is in 124 Student Center.

Maurice Morrison, coordinator
of tonight’s “community discus-
sion," is quick to point ottt that
although the title deals with one
segment of the campus opula-
tion, all are welcome antfneces-
sa .
“Realizing that their are some
intricacies to our experience that
are definitely unique, but there are
also some experiences that are

t t

universal and can abstractly be
applied to any other ethnic
group," Morrison said. “It's
important for anyone to collie to
an event like this because people
don't always look at the depth of
issues."

Morrison also said the decision
to hold the meeting was an easy
one to make.

“The idea was pretty much
stimulated through conversations
within the community," Morrison
said. “A lot of students are con~
cerned about life relationships
with themselves, with the same
gender, and with the opposite
gender.”

Morrison said the key to suc—
cess is in one's instincts.

A

“\\'hen yoti really get inside
yourselves," Morrison said. “and
listen to that little voice, which is
the self, rather than rationalizing
why you shouldn‘t listen to it,
then everythin will cotne to eth—
er for you. T at's what I ope
everyone takes out of this."

Morrison said that in order for
the whole of socie ‘ to work
together, each individual section
of the population must come to
grips with itself.

“\Vithin the whole confines of
this community, we must look at
the broader issue of diversity,”
Morrison said. “\Ve must start by
looking at the parts. African—
Aiiiertcans on this campus make
up a very distinguished part of the

whole.

“For the nucleus to come in
better with the whole. we must
first be able to divine ourselves."

The forum will be led by a
panel including Sandra Cairo,
director of the cultural center.
The group will lead the audience
in discussions on three major
themes: love, relations anti unity,
or umoja.

Umoja is the first principle of
Kwanzaa, meaning to strive for
and maintain relationships within
the family, community, country
and race. The basis in niakin
relationships work, Morrison SilNE
is in taking frotn relationships
what one can.

In reading from Acts of Faith:

Daily Meditations for People of

Color (“'ital) by lvanla Van/ant.
Morrison spoke of seasonal rela—
tionships. He said sometimes peo—
ple enter and c\it others' lives for
explicit reasons. The importance
lies in taking the lessons to be
learned and moving on when the
titnc comes.

ln Morrison‘s opinion. cri-
tiqtiing is a necessity.

“\Vithout critiquing. we can't
find solutions to the problem,"
Morrison said. “You have to cri—
tiqtte the problem to understand
what the problem is."

“The lsis Papers" by Dr.
Frances “'elsing will also be dis-
cussed. The papers covered the
idea of judging others.

“\Ve see things iit nature. and
we accept them for what they
are." Morrison said. “But when it
comes to humans. when l ain
approached by someone who is
white. or someone who is black.
l‘m prejudging them, already try—
ing to get a read on them."

Undeclared freshman “'ill
llallback plans to attend the work—
shop for a very distinct reason.

“I think the relations between
African-American males and
females are highly strained at this
ioint in time, and it will end tip
being a d 'triment to our society as
a whole," Hallback said.\

There will be a follow-up
workshop with Nasiiid Fakhrid-
Dcen Monday night at 6.

By Lisa Gantry
Contributing Writer

Because of the recent events
occurrin on campus, one ma
wonder ow safe it is to wal
across cam us in the dark alone.

Many different safety precau-
tions have been implemented on
campus~to ensure safety of stu-
dents.

The Air Force
ROTC is in charge of
the SAFECATS service.
This an escort service
that is available Sunday
through Thursday from

All escorting is done by foot.

; dent does not have to call as soon

as they need an. Calling ahead is
allowed. Permanent escorts also

Church says the ROTC mem-
bers rotate regularly to serve the
needs of the students.

“We rotate the permanent
escorts, so a student isn’t escorted
by the same person all the time,”

of

said Church. “More than likely
you will not receive the same
escort every time you call.”

Sometimes not enough people
know that it even exism or ow to
contact the service.

“I knew there was an escort
service, but I don’t know how to
get in touch with them if I need
them,” said journalism senior Judy
Hensley.

Air Force ROTC is not the
only campus organization baking a
bite out of crime. SGA has put
together an Emergency Crisis
Card.

These cards are available in the
SGA office free of charge.

These cards include numbers
for UK and Lexin on lice
departments and the AFE TS

important phone

On every college cam us in
the country, rape is a prob em.

That’s not a rumor, “that’s a
fact,” according to Diane Law-
less, director of the Lexington
Rape Crisis Center.

“Safety on campus is the ANAlYSlS

issue,” Lawless said. “The

adminisu'au'on has a mgmsibility
to make campus as sa as they
'bly can.”

Despite the circulatin rumors
of sexual assaults at one
reported rape and one reported
assault, anyone spreading these
nunors is causing “unnecessa
alarm ,to our students,” Josep
Burch, vice president for Univer-
sity Relations, said last week.

Statistics show one-third of all
women will be the victim of a sex-
ual assault sometime in their lives.
It is estimated that only 20 per-
cent of the women assaulted will
actually report the crime, said
Teresa Reynolds, education and
counseling coordinator for the
Lexington Rape Crisis Center.

“T ere is a common miscon-
ception, attributed to highly
publicized cases, that the usual
form of rape is stranger rape,”
Reynolds said. “The truth is
most rapes are date and acquain—
tance rape. A lot of college
women are very vulnerable.”

While most victims of ra e
on college campuses know w 0
their assailant is, a 19- or 20-
year-old woman is far less likely
to report the crime for fear of
alienating themselves or an
acquaintance. Most women who
don’t report it tend to either deal
with it themselves or rationalize
it by what they were wearing,

..‘:,-vvv—~vv.—_...-—-o—-'-.~

drinking or talking about. ,

“The strongest thing that we
can say is that this is clearly a
high] under—reported crime}:
said Klelanie Otis, a sociology
graduate assistant. “We can
assume that man women are not‘

going to report ' so the specife
ic numbers are hard to say.
“There is nothin

wrong with them indicate:
ing that we don’t have ra ':
reported, but since the issue as:
been raised, let’s have some cam-:c
puswide rape awareness . . .”
An estimated 20 percent of all
Ralpes actually et reported.“
though the a ministration's ~
response in the Thursday and”
Friday papers called the rumors
“unfounded” and an “unneces— ,
sa alarm,” Lawless saw things q
differently. ,~
Rape victims who do not seek 9'
treatment are commonly plagued ‘.
with a variety of problems rang-
ing from depression to drug and ,
alcohol abuse. They often suffer ,
through unhealthy relationships,‘ '
an inability to focus and even ",
nightmares, Lawless said. ' ..
Jim Wims, director of Resi—
dence Life, sponsors courses in‘
conjunction with the UK Police '
that focus on safety awareness.

The majority of these programs .

are focused toward the beginning
of the semester and are conduct- -
ed in different residence halls. '

“We encourage RAs to not ,

report rumors, but to get infor—
mation,” VVims said.

The Rape Crisis Center
offers free counseling, group or

community education and legal _

assistance or rape survivors.

The Rape Crisis Center oper-, ,
o

ates a 24— or hotline and can
be reached at 253-2511.

To promote racial equality b
working with some of the blach
fraternities on campus, Sigma Chi
social fraternity is sponsoring
their annual “mixer” dance Dec. 3.

“Right now is a transitional
time for us with all of our prob-
lems with the administration,”
said Sigma Chi President Jeremy
Edge, “but we’re looking for-
ward to having the dance and
having more people than last
year.”

The Sigma Chis are planning
to incorporate more of the minor-
ity fraternities in the dance to
make it a success. Last year it col-
laborated with Phi Beta Sigma fra-
terni on the pro'ect.

“I’ l go, but I on’t want to feel

Soldier's (ix-girlfriend testifies

Taco Bell gunman was with
her at time of the shooting

Associated Press

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn.
The ex-girlfriend of a former Fort
Cam bell soldier charged with
stan ing lookout during the mur-
ders of four Taco Bell em loyees
testified yesterday that he was
home with her the night of the
killings.

Sulyn Ulangca lived with David
Housler at the time of the mur—
ders, which occurred in the
Clarksville restaurant early on Jan.
30, 1994. She said she went out
with Housler in Oak Grove, Ky.,

and Clarksville on the evening of

Jan. 29. They spent the night

together and went to a Super

Bowl party on Jan. 30, she said.
Prosecutor Gus Radford ques-
tioned why it took her three years
to recall such details.
“So, fi’om I994 until November
of 1997 u didn't know where

David Housler was the night rior
to the Super Bowl and the ' t of

these murders?” he asked.
A

“Yes,” Ulangca said.

rliadford asked why she didn’t
co forward sooner with the tes-
timony. .

“I was confused,” she said.

Housler, 23, of Radcliff, K ., is
charged with four counts of rst-
degree murder. He told investiga-
tors in October 1995 that he
helped Courtney Mathews plot
the killin , prowded ammunition
and acte as a lookout as Mathews
and another man robbed the store
and committed the murders.

Mathews, who worked at the
Taco Bell and was stationed with
Housler at nearby Fort bell,
was convicted last year an sen-
tenced to life in prison without

arole for the murders of Angela
Renee Wyatt, Patricia Price,
Kevin Campbell and Marsha

Last spring after Erikson Hall
flooded, the College of Human
Environmental Sciences asked
for a new facility to house its
Early Childhood Education
Lab.

The flooding last March,
which ravaged buildings and
homes all over Kentucky, was not
an isolated incident in Erikson
Hall, and surely not one the lab
experienced for the first time.

In fact, the building had experi-
enced flooding problems for sev-
eral ears.

he proposal asks for a new
facility, one Human Environmen-
tal Sciences would share with the
College of Education to serve stu-
dents, faculty and the community,
said Retia Walker, dean of the
College of Human Environmental
Sciences.

0d lab proposed

The proposal calls for “a one-
stop facility to give students
practical experience,” Walker
said.

The proposed location for a
new lab is the Terrell Building,
which is located behind Erikson
Hall and now serves as a civil
engineering lab. In turn, the engi—
neering lab would be moved to a
new building.

Walker says a major time factor
plays a role in gettin a new facili~
ty for the lab, and a l the college
can do is wait.

Waiting is something they have
become quite familiar with.

Last spring the request for
the new facility was submitted
to the Chancellor’s Office. It
then went throu h President
Wethington’s of ice and has
now made its way to Frankfort,
where, the college’s officials
hope it will be considered b the
Council on Postsecondary du-

cation.

“We don’t know the status (of
the pro osal) at this time,” said
Jack G enn, vice chancellor for
Adminis:ration. “Questions con-
cernin a new facility are unan-
swerab e.”

And the status will not be
known” until legislators meet in
April.

“We desperately need a new
facility,” Walker said. “We
should have model facilities to
train people in early childhood
education.”

Erikson Hall was built in
1939, and the addition of new
buildings has contributed to the
flooding. Rain flows down to
Erikson Hall, overflowin the
basins that cannot catch a l the
water, causing it to back up in
the basement and flood rooms,
including the Early Childhood
Lab.

Art hears ‘Seul' ol

By Krlslln Hall

There will be a new and inter-
esting addition to Lexington’s art
community beginnin this week.

“Seasons 0 the oul,” aint-
ings by the UK Donovan chol-
ars, opens tomorrow and will con-
tinue through Dec. 20.

This show, which will be held
at the Living Arts and Science
Center, will include works in
watercolor, oils, collage, pastels
and virtually any other medium
available to artists. While this
sounds similar to any other art
show in the area, this show is dif-
ferent because all of the artists are
aged 65 years and older.

The Seasons of the Soul” art
show is a product of classes that
have been taught by Mary Neely

and Lillian Boyd. The lives of the
senior citizens are the primary
focus of the art show, and their
various life experiences are sure to
make a varied and interesting
source of artistic pieces.

This art show is only one of
the many activities sponsored by
the UK Donovan Scholars Pro-
gram. This program, which is
named after Herman L. Dono-
van, a former resident of the
University, has een in existence
since 1964.

It provides full tuition scholar-
ships for anyone aged 65 or older
who is interested in taking courses
at UK. Students can participate in
any courses available at the Lex-
ington UK campus or at Lexing—
ton Community College. Some of
the scholars work toward degrees
while others simply take courses

for enrichment.

The Donovan Scholars pro-
gram has grown steadily since its
eginning, and it is now a thrivin
program which offers free sel —
enrichment courses for people of
ages 60 and older as well as the
scholarships for senior citizens at

the University.

The program also sponsors the
Donovan Forum, which is a
biweekly series of lectures that
focuses on subjects that are rela-
tive to the senior citizen commu—
nity. These lectures, which are
open to the public, are held from
3:30 to 4:30 pm. at the Lexington
Senior Citizens Center on
Nicholasville Road.

This Thursda , the s aker
will be Dr. Paula aines, w 0 will
speak on Native American Spiri-
tuality.

as Funkhouser Building and the

Gatton Colle e of Business and

Economics, ave also experi-

enced flooding problems in the
ast.

Lab director Jaesook Lee and
the rest of the staff have been
“quite strong in dealing with the
problem,” Walker said.

“Dr. Lee has to come in at 6
am. to check the lab (after heavy
rainfall) and call parents if it has
been flooded.”

If the lab is flooded, the staff
must sanitize all the toys in case
the water was contaminated, a
