E-mail IIIIBSTIOII: harrassment III‘ II‘BB SIIBBCII?

By Lance Williams

.IHUt liI/i' l‘ii/li‘ul'

_leff_lones usually reads his eviiiail mes?
sages on his Lambda mailing list with
interest ahotit happetiings in the organi~
ration, but lately the messages haven't
been all that interesting.

In facirig,_lones said they are infuriat
ing.

.lones, a geography teaching assistant
and a Student Government Association
Graduate School senator, runs the corri—
ptiter itiailing list for the group.

The list, LanihdaNet, was primarily
designed to be a forurri for gay, lesbian
and hissexual students on campus to talk
about topics ofinterest about the group.

However, on Sunday night, he found
an e—mail message on his personal

account that was out of the ordinary, he
said.

The message said that the student
didn't want to he on the mailing list. In
addition, it contained other statements
which upset Jones.

“If you want my opinion on gay rights,
you don't have any If iust is not nor—
mal, and yoti gays are not normal. If you
don't want to receive any more negative
messages from me, a normal heterosexual,
take me off your damn list," the message
read.

It was “filthy, harassment type of

stuff," _lones said. “To say I was angry was
an understatement."

He thought his first response would he
to ask computing center officials to
remove the person from the list. Users
can have their accounts taken away ifthey

are found to be harassing St iiiieone.

But what is harassment on the Inter-
net?

Defining the line between harassment
and free speech, on ermail or in other sit—
uations, is a difficult decision, said David
Stockharii, Dean ofStudents.

Stockham said [Is draws the line
when the message or words are "a specific
threat directed to .l certain indiiidual."
He said while that is considered harass>
tnent, the same thing said about a larger
group would probably be seen as protects
ed free speech.

He said each case is treated separately,
and that there still aren't any set guide-
lines for his office to follow.

The emergence of electronic mail is
making for some interesting cases across
the country and creating more questions

than there are answers.

\lthough tfie cases are n‘ot in large
numbers. decisions coming from these
cases will set the standard for the future,
iournalism professorliiii I Iertog said,

\nd for Internet surfers, the subiect of

what's right and wrong is becoming an
important one. The latest .\'c:;',»’:;cel poll
on the Internet had 80 percent respond
ing that they are concerned about being
stalked through eimail, .ind 70 percent
are worried that people met on email
could begin stalking in person.

Donald (:ase, director of the School of

Information Sciences, said the “law is
behind" regarding e»mail.

icc group
denied SGA
funds again

By Sara Spears

Senior Sniff ll 'riti'r

.\ L'Is' student organizations
second attempt at getting funding
was unsuccessful at last night's
Student Government .-\ssociation
iriecting.

Lexington (Iommunity (Jol-
lege's American Institute of Archi'
tecture Students chapter prepre-
sented a hill for $303 to the SGA
Senate last night. The hill would
have funded the group's sight—see—
ing trip to (Ihicago.

()riginally the group's hill was
passed through the Senate for
390‘). but was later vetoed by SGA
I’resident Benny Ray Bailey. Bai—
ley said he did so on the grounds
that the hill “was not in the best
interest of the student body."

Nathaniel Anderson, a member
of I,(I(:'s AI;\S, apologized for
the way the hill was originally pre—
sented.

“I apologize for the lack of
information presented the last
time the bill was presented,"
Anderson said. “\Ve did not come
here to cause conflict or to receive
so much publicity.“

The Senate argued that the
presentation of the hill was not
the problem, but rather the fact
that the trip was for leisure and
would not benefit UK’s entire stu—
dent body.

The hills that did pass through
Senate last night included $619.52
to send several tnernbers of SGA
to \Vashington for the first cori—
ference of the National Student
Government Association.

UK‘s Black Voices Gospel
Ifnsemble received $I,l(l(l in
order to travel to an otit of town
performance, and $1,000 was
given to The Mini—College Liter-
aryjournal (Iommittee to publish
a literary anthology.

Cultural talent event shows diversity

By Brenna Reilly
Stuff ll 'r'rtrr

People filled Memorial “all
last night to experience a trip
around the world. All cultures and
ethic~backgrounds were repre—
sented in the crowd that packed
the hall for The International Tal-
ent Night.

The Talent Night was part of
the seventh annual “Celebrating
Diversity: A Festival of Life," a
week devoted to making students
aware of the different cultures at
UK.

“In the last 10 years the number
of international students has
increased. so we decided to do
something to get each group
together," said Uday Deshpande, a
master of ceremony at last night‘s
event. Deshpande said 95 coun—
tries are represent on campus.

Deshpande said this is the
fourth year the talent night has
been a part of “Celebrating Diver—
sity" week.

The talent night featured per-
formances presenting 15 coun—
tries. Most acts featured elaborate
outfits from the performer's native
(”\Intry.

The UK Acoustic (Eats opened

the talent night with a set of songs
presenting American culture. (Iluh
IIispano Americano displayed
Colombian culture through sever—
al folk dances.

The International Kung I’u
Academy provided a demonstras
tion ofChinese martial arts.

Eka Darbrundashvili, a Russian
singer represented the Republic of
Georgia by singing several songs
from her native country. The
crowd clapped along to her songs
and applauded for her to play
another son 7.

Some of the other countries
that were featured were (Ihina, Sri
Lanka. Bangladesh and Germany.

Albinus Saw, president of the
International Student (Iouncil,
said he hoped the event would
bring people together.

“(The event) is not only to dis;
)lay uniqueness of every culture
but to seek out the common thing
in each, to reach a better under»
standing and unity," Saw said.

During intermission Saw pre-
sented a gift to Chancellor for the
Lexington Campus Robert
IIemenway, “for his efforts to
internationalize and diversify the
campus "

Saw also told the audience that

5

the performance would not be
possible without flemeiiway's sup;
port.

Forestry senior Ann (Iarmicle
said she attended the talent night
as part of an assignment for her
Spanish class.

“I was in the talent night a ciin’
ple of years ago so I was interested
to see it,“ (Iarmicle said.

“It is an opportunity to meet
people and to experience different
cultures," said Deshpande, a elec~
trical engineering graduate stu»
dent. “It is a shame if people do
not utilize that opportunity."

Saw said the turn out at the
event was good considering the
snow that fell in Lexington yester-
day.

Desbpande said organizers
tried to invite everyone to the ML
ent night.

“\Ve tried to reach as far as pos-
sible into the community." I)esh-
pande said. He said they relied
mainly on word of mouth to let
people know about the event.

Saw said it was hard to show all
the different cultures of the world
in one night, but the talent night
allowed people to vet a taste of
cultures they mig t make not
experience ot erwise.

"K, Arkansas share
the I‘IIIB 0T favorite

By Brett Dawson

.S/mrn [fill/111‘

The lighting of the Olympic
torch might be 498 days away, but
today in Atlanta, the games liegin.

So it's the Southeastern
(Ionference 'lournament and not
the I‘M/i Sunittier (iames. It's still
an event. gllls't look at the list of
contenders for the gold:

Vlhere's UK, the defending
champion, in search of its fourth
straight gold in this event. The
\Vildcats are undefeated in the
SICC 'Iourney since coming off
probation .three seasons ago.

VThere's defending national
champion Arkansas. which has still
never finished first in this particu—
lar event, but has played well
enough of late to look like a con—
tender.

VAnd. well. that's it.

You see, everybody else is play-
ing for the bronze. Alabatiia,
Mississippi State, (ieorgia. Florida
and Auburn - solid teams all
are part of a Ill-team undercard
this weekend. Every single game is
a buildup to the gold—medal match
on Sunday ~~~~~ ['K—Arkansas XII.

(.‘r Is It:

The simple fact is. the (lats and
Hogs li‘.i\ e never riict for an Sl“.(.‘
Tournament title. In faLt, the two
teams have only had otie chance to
meet in the finals. In 1992,
Arkansas was upset by Alabama
before the inatchup materialized.

The past two seasons, L'K owns
a pair of semifinal round wins ()\ er
Arkansas. So is this the year the
(Iats and Hogs meet for it all?

Not necessarily.

“I think the brackets are nice for
Arkansas, unless they face their
nemesis, Alabama," l’itino said.
“But I don‘t think (the brackets) are
too good for anybody. I think there
are legitimately six teams that

could win this tournament."

\I'innin r the tourney isn’t
essential for L'K's No. 1 seed
chances. A win or two in Atlanta
should seal that deal.

“\Vc feel like we're going to be a
very high seed regardless of what
happens iii the tournament," l’itino
said. “ hit the most important
thing for tis. regardless of what
happens is to continue playing
great basketball,"

That great basketball l’itiiio's
team has been playing has lead to
the regular—season SH: title and a
string of impressive wins. The (lats
closed the season winning at
Alabama, Vanderbilt and Georgia
by an average of IS points, fol-
lowed by .147—point rotnp of LSU.

That run came after the (Iats
were upset at home by Mississippi
State :ind nearly lost their next
game in Rupp Arena to Florida.
"\Te learned sortie lessons iti
l‘ebruary." l’itino said.
taught us some lessons. \Ve dorit
want to be taught any more
lessons."

Instead, the (:ats would like to
complete the second step in the tri—
utnvirate of goals they established
at the beginning of the season ~-
winning the regular—season SICC
title. the SI‘ZC tournatiient crown
and the NCAA championship.

“\K’e're focused on winning,"
Rodrick Rhodes said. “In a way, it‘s
like when we went to the Final
Four (in l‘)‘)3). \Vhenevcr sortie—
body steps out oti the court, they
don‘t want to just contribute ._
they want to be great."

VGO-TO GUY: Carlos Strong has been on a tear heading into tournament play.

Strong had back-to-back 30 point games two weeks ago and has his average in
conference games up to 14.7 points per game after a slow start.

VTO WIN, THEY'LL NEED: To play to their potential and get a little luck. They
could have to lace Alabama in their first game. but the Bulldogs beat the Tide
earlier this season.

VWHAT‘S AT STAKE: An NCAA bid. Georgia’s 18 wins would be enough to get
in if they had played a tough non-conference schedule, but they didn't. The
