Pben—fen
combination

not for all

By Lisa Rippetoe

Am (3" Entertainment Editor

After her first appointment
with Dr. Rex Duff, Robin Mal-
oney was well on her way.

Because in society, many think
to be overweight is considered
unattractive and less than per-
fect.

“I’ve tried everything,” Mal—
oney said about her pursuit to
lose weight.

Maloney, discouraged about
the way she looked, turned to the
weight loss drug combination
Phen-Fen, and, with no increase
in an exercise rogram, she lost
21 pounds in t e two and a half
months she took the drugs.

Each'visit to Duff’s office dur-
ing that time consisted mainly of
weigh—ins and regular check—ups.

“It was like a herd of cattle,"
Maloney said as Duff’s nurses
rushed her in and out pretty
quickly.

Now, over a year later, Mal-
oney is off the Phen—Fen diet
pills. However, she has gained
10 of the 2| pounds back.

Maloney decided to stop
Phen—Fen because she had
reached her goal weight, but she
did complain about mild side
effects from I’hen-Fen.

“I had a constant dry mouth,”
and a “slight memory loss," Mal-
oney said.

Susan Dunn who went on
l’hen—Fen over a year ago also
stopped taking the drug because
she also had side effects such as
memory loss.

“I just couldn’t remember,"
Dunn said.

Dunn said that she would be
right in the middle of a sentence
and she would stop and forget
what she was talking about.

In one particular instance,
Dunn said her husband told her
that they were going to go out to
eat and she went up stairs to
change clothes. Once she 0t
upstairs, she said she coul n’t
remember why she had come
upstairs.

Fearful that she would for et
things on the job, Dunn decitfed
to stop using Phen-Fen.

However, in the five weeks
that she was on the prescribed
diet pill she lost 25 pounds,
Dunn said.

“I didn’t even think about
food; it didn’t enter my mind,”
Dunn said. “I had to remind
myself to cook for my kids.”

Neither one of the women
regret taking Phen—Fen. Both
said they were pleased with the
results.

Both Maloney and Dunn said
the' were not too concerned
wit the believed health risks
that accompany Phen-Fen.

“Personally, I feel if you abuse
it, it will affect you greatly,” Mal-
oney said.

Maloney said she feels that if
taken a rolonged period of
time, P en—Fen could be
extremely hazardous, but she
wanted to lose weight quickly
and didn‘t desire to abuse the
pills.

Also present at the conference
were Dr. Vipul Mankad. a UK
professor and chairman of pedi-
atrics at UK. and 17-year-old
(Zarey Johnson, a patient in the
blind study.

“The University of Kentuck
has now leadership in IG ‘
research in the United States,”
Mankad said.

Although participants in the
study are not aware of receiving
the new treatment,_]ohnson, who
has had diabetes since the age of
three, said she felt better since
the study began.

According to the press
release, the Phase III study,
involving [00 institutions, began
in January and would conclude
in 1998. Developed by Genen-

pany, rhIGF-l has been tested in

“It scares me,” Dunn said, “to
know how potent two little pills
can be."

The long term effect of Phen-
Fen doesn't scare her, but “it’s a
worry,” Dunn said.

“Almost all drugs have side
effects," said Dr. Robert
Fredrick, assistant professor of
medicine at the UK Medical
Center.

What really matters is how
important the health issue is at
hand and if the patient is willing
to discount the side effects,
Fredrick said. This is the issue
with many diseases such as obesi-
ty, AIDS and other illnesses.

Fredrick says health risks sur-
rounding Phen-Fen are “very
difficult to study.” It ap ars that
health risks related to hen-Fen
might increase as a patient con—
tinues to take the drug.

Fredrick does not recommend
the drug to individuals who are
five to 15 pounds overweight.

Nearly 300,000 deaths a ear
are related to obesity, Freciiick
said. Many more women seek
medical attention for obesity
than men do, he said.

Phen-Fen can range between
$30 a month to $150 a month,
depending on the combinations,
he added.

“Our socie? has a rather out—
moded view 0 obesity,” Fredrick
said. “We see it as a character
flaw.”

Fredrick said research has
shown that genes affect obesity
more than environment does,
but because society views obesity
as a character flaw and not as a
gene-related disease, insurance
companies will not pay for treat-
ment.

years.

Alison Kight, a foreign lan-
guages and international eco-
nomics senior was diagnosed
with the disease in her freshman
year. She planned to contact the
Medical Center to get more
information about participating
in the study.

“I take two kinds of insulin,
regular and long lasting,” said
Right, who has been taking four
injections a day.

Kight added that taking the
wrong dosage could result in a
person feeling diz or thirsty.

Accordin to hrailkill. the
side effects from the new treat—
ment are minor in small doses.

structure

By Nathan Gray
Staff 14 i-m-r

Returning UK students
could have less parking woes
this fall because of several "'0—
iects to alleviate many problems
students have faced in the past.

joe Burch, vice president of
university relations, said that
with the new parking structure
on Limestone, 1,000 new park-
ing spaces are now available to
faculty, students and visitors.

The fall semester will be a
trial period to determine space
allotments, Burch said.

The structure is currently
allotted for 600 faculty 5 aces,
300 student spaces an 100
spaces for visitors, he said.

If less than 600 facul mem-
bers apply for spaces t is fall,
the number of faculty spaces
will be re—adjusted to make
room for more students.

Burch said while it might
seem that the faculty is getting
the better deal, it is important

to note that many of the old fac-
ulty spaces will now be available
to students. The parking lots at
Blazer. Taylor Education and
behind Memorial Coliseum will
now accommodate many more
students.

However, the deadline to
apply for these new paces is
August 2, at a cost of$128.

According to the UK parking
office, students wishing to apply
for these spaces tnust
live at least one mile
from campus, have
at least 60 credit
hours, he pre-regis-
tered for the fall
semester and have
no outstanding
debts with the Uni-
versity.

Students who
miss the August 2
deadline will still be
able to ap ly, but
these applications
will be put into a
lottery to determine
who gets the left
over spots.

Applications can be
turned in at the corner of
Euclid and Rose Streets, at the
parking office.

Several other new parking
lots around the new library
could also help with parking.
Of the two new lots around the
library, one will be given to the

 

   

fraternities and sororities who
lost their 5 aces due to con—
struction ofpthe library, Burch
said.

The other lot will be a pay
lot, designated to patrons of the
library, he said.

Two other new lots that are
separated by Columbia Avenue
are currently being used by con—
struction workers. When work
on the library is completed,

these spots will be
available to facultv
members, which will
free up more spaces
for students, Burch
said.

Also on Columbia
Avenue, the Sorority
Circle lot is current—
ly being re-paved.

Work is expected
to be completed by
the first of next
week, said a member
of the work crew.
Summer school stu-
dents find this to be
a convenient lot
because no permit is needed
during the summer.

“(The parking) really sucks,”

said Greg Morris, a fourth year
communications student who
drives in from Richmond. “1
was lucky enough to be able to
pay a friend 550 to park in his
driveway.”

Bradley full-time
at work and school

By Charles Shumaker
Smflll )‘itt'r‘

For many UK students, the summer is
a time to look back and reflect on the
semester that was. The semester does not
end, however. for 31 year-old Shannon
Bradley.

A social work and art history senior,
Bradley finds herself working harder
sometimes during summer break than she
might during the spring or fall semesters.

“l thrive at being busy.” Bradley said
during a break between class and work.

The hectic schedule that she maintains
might be what some consider too close to
the edge of time management. Combining
a 30 or more hour work week, summer
classes and volunteer work, Bradley finds
it difficult to squeeze in time with her
friends.

Not only does she have the patience
and energy to budget all of her responsi-
bilities. but she does it all with ease.

Her (il’A last semester was 3.99, which
to a majority of college students is as real-
istic as a good UK basketball ticket. ller
cumulative is 3.6.

Her goal is to work in child welfare,
possibl working before she attends grad-
uate school. She hopes to pay for most of

raduate school, but as many students
Enow, that is tougher than it seems.

Bradley loves the “hands on" as ect of
social work. Her interests took er to
Chicago recently to attend a soc’al work
conference. i

“It is not too difficult" she added, “but
it is just working with people that I like."

Bradley‘s work at the .\lcl)onald's
across from Holmes Hall on South Lime—
stone keeps her until 1 a.m. some morn-
ings.

Shift .\lanager]erry King is delighted
with Bradley. “She has a great personali-
ty," King said.

Not only is Shannon personable with
both customers and co—workers. she also is
a versatile worker.

“\Vhen Shannon comes in, she expects
to be placed anywhere in the store—she
knows most areas," King said.

“I wish I had 41 more like her,"
(Ilarencc Haggard. the restaurant manag—
er, said.

Bradley spends most of her days
attending class until noon, then taking a
small break when she completes home
work before serving one of the 9‘) billion
customers of Mickey l)‘s.

Although she takes an occasional nap
during her homework time. Bradley finds
little time to relax or even to be sick.

Haggard spoke of an occasion when
Shannon worked an entire eight hour shift
while sick. He said she was a little cranky.
but nevertheless she completed h'-r sched-
uled day as any other.

“Shannon has never cop )ed an atti—
tude," Haggard said, w ich seems
unavoidable with the demands of a fast
food restaurant.

The constant pressures and late nights
that accompany a job at McDonald's are
almost enough to tie up a summer for a
college student. Add classes, friends and a
responsibili to help pay for the rising
costs of a co lege education and you have
enough to drive a crazy person nuts.

Bradley handles all of this while main-
tainin her GPA, 30 hours of work a week
and plzanning her future. For this college
student. pressure is a fact of life.

UK football player ()mar
Smith was shot early last Thurs—
day morning in a similar fashion
to the way former football player
Trent DiGiuro was shot exactly
three years ago.

Both men were offensive
guards for the Cats, both were
shot near campus and both had a

campus

By Jenniter Keefe
Sin/f H i‘lrcr

Brian Dellis. of L'nion, sits on the
stone wall in front of the classroom
building with his blue folder.

He's waiting for his advising confer—
ence to begin.

A little nervous about the day to
come. Dellis wonders what the advising
conference has to offer.

“I‘m not sure what campus life is
going to be like." l)ellis said. “I hope
being here for advising will help me get
used to campus."

livery summer, incoming freshman
take part in a two day advising confer-
ence designed to help them make
friends, learn the catnpus as well as reg—
ister for classes.

Summer advising starts june 23 and
continues through August I with each
conference consisting of about 260 stu—
dents.

\Vithin the course of the two day
period students choose
three interest sessions
such as “Planning to sue-
ceed" or “Smart start” to
yet an introduction to UK

ife.

The first day of the advising confer—
ence begins at 8 a.m. with check in
when students pay a $40 fee and par-

ents pay a $15 fee.

After signing in, students wishing to
take placement exams to advance to
higher levels in English, math, chem—
istry and foreign language must register
for the exams to be taken throughout
the day.

At 9 a.m., students are welcomed in
the classroom building and prepared
for the first round ofinterest sessions.

After lunch, students have the
opportunity to meet with advisers in
their college and talk about classes for
the fall semester.

In between sessions, students will
have a chance to get their UK ll) card
as well as take certain placement exams.

Students who choose to stay on cam—
pus overnight can go to a cookout, tour
of the residence halls and an ice cream
social.

The second day of the advising con-
ference starts at X a.m. when
many students receive place-
ment exam scores.

Dean of Students David
Stockham speaks with
students, which is fol—
lowed by the Uni—
versity llealth Ser-
vice.

That after-
noon. students
meet their parents
and head for home.

conference is something that most stu—
dents come with mixed emotions. ()ne
purpose of summer advising is to help
put a stop to any anxieties students
might have.

“\Ve want to get the students orient—
ed with the campus," said Bob Brown. a
UK graduate and student assistant for
summer advising. “\Ve want the stu—
dents to stay at UK and be successful."

This is the second summer Brown
has worked with advising conferences
as his summer job. Though he has
graduated, he likes being a part of the
UK environment.

“I really enjoyed my experience at
UK." he said. “l just want to give some~
thing back to help others gain the same
type of experience.“

\Vhile many incoming freshmen
spoke of learning their way around
campus and making new friends, others
were more concerned about register—
