Lifelong learning

College
revelations

Here are some points
I now understand are
truths in college after
Iast semester.

That it didn't matter
how late I scheduled my
first class, I'd sleep right
through it.

That I could change
so much and barely real-
ize it.

That you can love a
lot of people in a lot of
different ways.

That college kids
throw airplanes too.

That if you wear
polyester everyone will
ask you why you're so
dressed up.

That every clock on
campus shows a differ-
ent time.

That if you were
smart in high school -
so what?

That I would go to a
party the night before a
final.

That you can know
everything and fail a
test or know nothing and
ace a test.

That I could get used
to almost anything I
found out about my
roommate.

That home is a great
place to visit.

That most of my edu-
cation would be obtained
outside of my classes.

That friendship is
more than getting drunk
together.

That I would be one
of those people my par-
ents warned me about.

That free food served
until 10 am. is gone by
9:50.

That Sunday does not
really exist.

That biology is really
chemistry, that chem-
istry is really physics,
and physics is really
math.

That friends are what
makes this place worth-
while!

The auctioneer's call bel-
lowed through the halls of Mar-
garet 1. King Library last Satur-
day as UK sold the final remains
from the old building in a public
auction.

Several hundred people
braved the cold and snow to
make their way to the MI. King

maps and desks to laser printers
and oak meeting tables.

Bargains abounded for items
like Macintosh Power Macs and
printers. Four hours into the auc-

pensive ticket purchased. But the
big-ticket items had to sell some
time. and sell they did. Several
pieces of oak furniture eventually

went for more than $1.000 a piece.

Although final earnings are
not yet available, library officials
estimated the event brought in at
least $10,000. Net proceeds will go
directly into the library's general
fund.

Helen Slayton. manager of
Plant Assets Inventory. said the
auction was more profitable than
expected. Plant Assets Inventory
maintains an inventory of UK
equipment and oversees the use
of building space and land. They
also take care of surplus property
and handle University auctions.

“We had no idea what to ex-

over 400 bidding tickets given
out."

“I was cleaning it up to put a

Viagra turns nasal

Professors develop faster
way of using impotency drug
By Amber Scott

STAFF WRITER

Two UK College of Pharmacy profes-
sors have developed a faster~acting ver-
sion of Viagra by making the compound
soluble and administering it as a nasal
spray.

Dr. Lewis Dittert and Dr. Anwar Hus
sain have been developing the new Viagra
out of their company, New Millennium
Pharmaceutical Research Inc.. in the
ASTeCC Building for almost two years.

“Hussain was overseas last year, and
we talked on the phone. He said people

   

The Student New

are complaining about having to wait for
Viagra to work." Dittert said.

The Viagra that's currently available
to men suffering from impotency comes
in tablet form and is poorly soluble in wa‘
ter. Dittert said.

This delays response to the drug and
requires a higher dosage to combat the di-
gestive enzymes the tablet encounters on
its way to the small intestine. where it is
absorbed into the blood.

Dittert said a nasally administered
Viagra would take 10 to 13 minutes to be-
gin working.

The faster-acting Viagra would help
to eliminate overdoses.

WASHINGTON — The White House yester-

the impeachment trial. calling it an overblown
account that “reads like a cheap mystery."

“The discussions about sinister plots is
something you would expect to read in a novel
rather than in a document by the House of Repre-
sentatives,” White House spokesman Joe Lock-
hart said. Lockhart said the brief was a “con-
stantly shifting" version of the charges that re-
lies on "hyperbole and overblown rhetoric.” The
White House will offer its own next installment

Pizza deal falls through ox“ sages:

Papa John' 5 receives letter from UK severing
deal allowing students to use PLUS account

By Jessica Coy
SENIOR SIAFF WRIIER

Buying a pizza will not be
as simple as whipping out your
UK ID and paying for it with
PLUS account funds.

Last week Papa John’s re-
ceived a letter from UK termi-
nating the contract that allowed
the pizza chain to accept PLUS
accounts as a method of pay-
ment, said David Strickland,
district manager of Papa
John's.

Douglas Stephan, a Lex-
ington attorney representing
UK, said the letter was in
keeping with a termination
provision in the contract that
allows either side to cancel the
deal at any time for any rea-
son.

Stephan said UK has not re-

ceived a formal response from
Papa John’s regarding the let-
ter, but Strickland said he does-
n’t see how a response will
change anything.

“They terminated our con-
tract and that is that. It was
their decision and I don't see
how anything we can do will
change that," he said.

The letter was sent last
week after Fayette Circuit
Judge Gary Payne placed a tem-
porary injunction on UK, for-
bidding students to use their
PLUS accounts to purchase piz-
za from Papa John‘s.

According to court docu-
ments, on Oct. 15, Domino's
placed a motion before the
court calling for a temporary
restraining order and prelimi-
nary injunction, which the
court ordered on Nov. 16.

The documents said that
the court “found that Domino' 5
would suffer irreparable injury
given its inability to recover
lost profits or market shares in
a court of law because UK has
sovereign immunity, if a tempo-
rary restraining order or pre-
liminary injunction was not is-
sued."

UK filed a motion on Dec. 4
asking the court to dissolve the
temporary injunction. a motion
the court overruled last Thurs
day.

Judson Ridgway, manager
and franchisee of the Domino’s
on Euclid Avenue. said he was
happy with the judge's decision
to uphold the injunction, which
will stay in place until a trial is
held.

"Any company willing to
pay for the equipment should
be able to service the Universi-
ty," he said. “Students should
have a voice about who they
want to order pizza from on a
daily basis. It should not be diC»

tated by the University"

Although the Domino' s
camp is pleased with the court-
room proceedings, Bullock said
the news of UK' s decision to ter
minate the PLUS account con-
tract altogether comes as a dis-
appointment.

“The PLUS system is a
good system and could definite-
ly help UK, tlies tudents, the
community and local pizza
companies if implemented equi
tably," he said. “It doesn t make
sense for UK to cancel the
whole thing now.”

Nate Brown, UK's Student
Government Association presi-
dent, said he was disappointed
with UK’s decision.

“It‘s definitely frustrating
to hear that there will no
longer be this service, especial-
ly considering that so many
students were excited about
it," he said. “Hopefully in the
future this service will be
opened up to all pizza ven~
dors."

 

 

LCC grads mastering tests

Success comes from hard work, dedication
as students smash national statistics

By Roxanne McEntire
CONIRIBUIING WRITER

The majority of the 1998
graduates from Lexington Com-
munity College‘s health pro-
grams surpassed the national
average scores on the mandato-
ry certification tests in their
fields.

“I applaud these graduates
for their performance as well
as the instructors who practice
excellence in teaching," LCC
president Jim Kerley said.
“These results support the fact
that LCC is preparing its stu-

dents to compete, and to excel,
on a local, national and global
level.”

Kerley said he isn’t sur-
prised that graduates from LCC
compete so well on the national
level, and said they are well-
prepared to excel wherever
they choose to work.

The national average pass
rate for the nursing certifica-
tion exam, the NCLEX, was 88
percent last year; the pass rate
for graduates from LCC’s
nursing program was 96 per-
cent.

The 1998 dental hygiene,

respiratory care, nuclear medi-
cine technology and dental lab-
oratory technology graduates
from LCC had a 100 percent
pass rates for their certification
exams, while the national rates
ranged from 71 to 95 percent.

The Dental Laboratory
Technology program was par-
ticularly successful: Graduates
from it scored an average of 84
percent on the Recognized
Graduate Exam, which was the
second-highest mean among 32
contenders throughout the na-
tion.

Kerley said the success of
last year‘s health graduates
came from hard work on their
part, but it is crucial educators
are dedicated to their task.

Perhaps the best measure

of LCC’s success is the reviews
given by the students them-
selves. Many agreed that LCC
serves them well, and that LCC
genuinely cares about their
welfare.

“They work with the stu-
dents -— if they see a problem,
they (the professors) try their
best to help,” said Barbara Sta-
ley, an undeclared freshman.
Students say personal attention
is high on their list of priori-
ties. The small class sizes at
LCC attract many of them.

Terri Tincher, a dental hy-
giene sophomore, said the small
class sizes are the secret of
LCC’s success. There was one
caveat for Terri, though: “I
wish it was easier to get into
the programs.”

 

No big money from Outback Bowl

After all the expenses are paid, conference
gets its share, UK not seeing lots of green

By Brooke Ison
CONIRIBUIING WRIIER

While bowl games may be a
reward for a successful season,
they are often ones that come
without as much financial val-
ue as one would expect.

Purses such as the $11 mil-
lion Fiesta Bowl jackpot and
even the Outback‘s $3.6 million
purse might suggest a big pay-
day from the games.

Not necessarily.

Of the $3.6 million in the
Outback purse, each team re-
ceives $1.8 million for partici-
pating. Once the money is on
UK’s side, almost half of it,

$840,000, will go to the school
and the remaining money will
be pooled into a larger fund for
the entire conference.

This is because of a formu-
la used by the Southeastern
Conference, said Larry Ivy,
UK’s senior associate athletics
director.

It may not be millions of
dollars, but at least UK didn’t
lose money at the Outback
Bowl. The cost of attending a
bowl game usually does not bal-
ance out with the money
earned from it. Most schools go
in the red.

Ivy estimates that $240,000
will be all that is left of UK’s

portion after the teams’ expens-
es from Tampa are paid. It
takes a lot of money to send 102
football players, 300 band mem-
bers and 100 staff and board
members to Florida for two
weeks. Airfare alone for the
football team and staff ran
about $120,000. Charter buses
for the band cost $30,000. And
the bills are still coming, Ivy
said.

Asked if he was pleased
with this leftover sum, he said,
“Yeah. It's more than we bud-
geted for."

It is not clear how the mon-
ey from the Outback Bowl will
be spent.

“There is a lot of building
going on. The money will be put
in a reserve to finance later pro
jects,” Ivy said.

Aside from the direct par-

ticipation earnings, other pay-
offs to UK will include in-
creased ticket sales and more
sponsorships, said Kyle Moats,
UK’s assistant athletic director
for marketing.

Also, Outback Bowl mer-
chandise should bring in a good
amount of revenue for the Uni-
versity. Right now, though,
Moats said it is too early to tell
how much will be earned.

While all the official num-
bers are not in, UK should
make a decent amount of mon-
ey off the game, more than it
made at the Peach Bowl in 1993.
Figures show only $140,000 was
made from participation in the
bowl and only about $10,000 was
made from merchandise sales.
So far, Ivy said, 1999 figures
have easily surpassed these
amounts.

 

 

 

VIAGRA

Continued from pagei

to work can range from embar-
rassment to danger,“ Dittert
said.

“If a man takes Viagra and
gets no response. he may be-
come impatient and after 30 to
45 minutes be tempted to take
one or two more tablets. just as
the first one is being absorbed.
The result would be an over-
dose."

An overdose could mean
death for men with high blood
pressure or cardiovascular dis-
ease. Dittert said.

“We could get by with prob-
ably one-tenth the dose because
we will bypass the enzymes of
what we call the first-pass me-
tabolism," Dittert said. “We
would get a greater effect in a
shorter time with a smaller
dose."

Dittert and l-Iussain did
their first experiments in Feb-
ruary 1998, and filed a provi-
sional patent on June 25, 1998.

The experiments have so

far been on animals, and the
next step is humans, Dittert
said. They are looking for a
sponsor to help fund their fu-
ture experiments or to sell their
information to.

“We are a small company
with limited finanCes," Dittert
said. The company includes Dit-
tert, Hussain and two others.

As soon as they find a spon-
sor. Dittert said they would be
willing to help point the new
company in the right direction
but that they “don't want to be
involved 24 hours, like it is
now.“

Hussain and Dittert have
approached Pfizer, the company
that first introduced Viagra, to
be a sponsor, but they have
been slow to react. Once they
do get a sponsor, experiments
on humans will determine the
side effects and toxicity of the
nasal drug.

“Every drug is a two-sided
sword," Dittert said. “We will
have to see if this drug irritates
the nasal membranes, affects
the sense of smell, causes can-
cer, or leads to other health
risks."

President's Initiative striving to achieve goal
of making students’ experience best possible

By Karla Dooley
ASSISTANT ”HIS EDITOR

Close your eyes, lean back
in your chair and relax.

Imagine a university
where all of the classrooms are
clean, attractive and comfort-
able.

At least a third are
equipped with multimedia
technology

All freshmen are enrolled
in a small discovery seminar
taught by a faculty member
who guides them through an
interactive, inquiry-based ex-
perience.

Seniors complete a re-
search project that combines
everything they've learned
throughout their college years.

Two-hundred undergradu-
ate research and creativity fel-
lowships are available to all
students.

It’s a university where the
offices students deal with most
are centralized for the sole pur-
pose of making life easier for
the students they serve.

It’s a living and a learning
community.

Now concentrate really
hard on this — it could be UK.

The President’s Initiative
on Undergraduate Education at
Kentucky's Comprehensive Re-
search University has released
a list of proposals that could
change the face of undergradu-
ate education at UK. Now, stu-

dents and faculty are being
asked to review and comment
on the committee‘s sugges
tions.

“In order to have an excel-
lent research university, one
has also to have an excellent
undergraduate program," said
Louis Swift, dean of Under-
graduate Studies, who serves
as chairman of the committee.

The President‘s Initiative
is an effort to “find a way in
which growth in graduate stud-
ies and research can also (im-
prove) instruction for under-
graduates across the campus,"
he said.

The initiative started last
summer, after the Boyer Com-
mission released a study criti-
cizing undergraduate educa-
tion at large research institu-
tions. The commission‘s report
came out at about the same
time the Kentucky legislature
issued its goal for UK to be-
come a top 20 research institu-
tion.

“We thought it was appro
priate to look at these two is-
sues together,“ Swift said.

“We’ve made some signifi-
c
