Holiday money
hard to come by

elissa Rives.

a senior educa-

tion major,

jokes that she

might have to

start playing her

violin at Triangle Park to collect

loose change from passing UK
basketball fans.

Rives. however, isn’t destitute.
She is one of many UK students
who is desperate for extra spend-
ing money this Christmas season.
Many agree that times are tough
this holiday season and say any
way to get money is welcomed.

Some students are resorting to
selling plasma for supplemental
income.

“I’ve been giving plasma for
the past two semesters," said
Blake Homal, an architecture jun-
ior. “It‘s a gooc way to make
money for Christmas presents

without having to take time away
from studies to work."

Carie Chiles, an accounting
junior. said she has considered
visiting the local plasma center.

“As desperate as I am for mon—
ey, sure I‘ll give them my plas-
ma,” Chiles said.

The money crunch has other
students thinking creatively.

“I am planning on parking my
friend‘s cars in the parking lot of
the mall the evening before the
biggest shopping day of the sea—
son,” said Grant Roark, a political
science senior. “Then I’ll try to
sell the parking spaces to desper-
ate shoppers."

Roark said his money is tight
this year because his rent has in-
creased and because the cost of
everyday items is taking a bigger
bite from his budget. He has con-
sidered working a double shift at
his workplace. along with giving
plasma, to make more money.

Several students

make UK home
for the holidays

By ELIZABETH CALL
CRAIG HENDERSON
and ALLEN PUTMAN
Contributing Writers

As the semester draws to a
close, most students‘ minds are
occupied with visions of sugar
plums. Chnstmas shopping —
and going home for the holidays.

Some students, however, are
not going anywhere for the holi-
days. Many of UK‘s mtemational
students wrll be living at their
homes In the Jewell Hall Interna»
ttonal Living/Leaming Center
during Christmas break. For the
first time in UK's history, intema-
tronal students, resident advisers
and other residents of the ball will
be allowed to remain in campus
housing over the holidays.

Many students do not celebrate
or understand the traditional holi-
day of Christmas and cannot trav-
el home for the holidays. Resi-
dents of the hall represent 22
countries and many different re-

ligious backgrounds.

“We have a lot of Muslims in
the building that do not celebrate
Christmas," said Michelle Clark.
a resident adviser in Jewell Hall.

Over the holidays. residence
hall staff and members of resi-
dence hall government are plan-
ning a variety of activities.

“We will try to create an aware-
ness of what Christmas is, maybe
a dinner or a Chrisunas tree."sa1d
Salman Haider, president of Jew-
ell Hall.

Other programs that are being
worked on include baking cook»
ies, a gift exchange program and
a hayride for those residents who
are staying on campus. RAs are
also dreaming of a white Christ-
mas because many residents have
never seen snow.

“I am staying here over the
break," said Ming Chan, a fresh-
man resident from Hong Kong. “l
will feel alone and will call home
often. My family celebrates
Christmas but on a small scale.

I i/- ' m]
cl '

 

we go to a restaurant."

Several of UK‘s international
students will have an opportunity
to travel within Kentucky and the
surrounding area over the break.

Christmas International, a pro
gram developed through the ln-
temational Student Office, gives
students a chance to stay with a
host family in another communi-
ty for one week, and the only cost
is transportation.

Other students also may get to
travel home with “an American

friend." said Carolyn Holmes, di-
rector of the Office of lntemation-
al Student Affairs.

“These students may be going
with their host family (over the
holidays)." Holmes said.

“People will be coming and go-
ing constantly." said Darryl Dot-
son, one of five RAs who is stay-
ing at Jewell over Christmas.
“The most people we will have in
the building at once will probably
be around 40."

Although the residence hall

_ ; .\. -
JEnnv VOIGT/Stall Artist

will remain open, UK Food Ser-
vices will be closed during the
break. and residents will have to
prepare all of their own food or
eat out.

Over the break there must be
two resident advisers and one hall
director in the building at all
times.

Except for Jewell, residence
halls will close for Christmas
break at 5 pm. on Dec. 20 and
will reopen Jan. 12.

Non-alcoholic alternatives
should be staple of holidays

Christmas is coming, and it's
time to celebrate! This year. make
plans to celebrate safely. Provide
your guests with alternatives to
alcohol consumption and other
low-risk ways to party.

oPrepare holiday drinks mixed
without alcohol. Christmas
punches and holiday eggnog can
be enjoyed for their own unique
flavors without being spiked.

-For an alcohol flavor, without
the physical effects, consider the
use of flavored extracts. Subsu-
lute 1/8 of extract for each jigger
called form your holiday recipes.

'Thcre are many fruit flavored
sparkling waters on the market
that contain no alcohol and are
absolutely festive.

-EnJoy one of the new non»
alcoholic beers or wines on the
market.

-Remember H if a recipe calls
for wine or another alcoholic bev-
erage, make sure that you cook it
long enough to remove all of the
alcohol. leaving only the flavor.

The best holiday hosts and
hostesses provide their guests
with nutritious food, especially
when alcohol is being served.

High protein and carbohydrate
foods like cheese and meats are
especially good. Not only will
your holiday chceseball taste deli-
cious, but it will stay in the stem-
ach longer, which slows the rate
at which alcohol is absorbed.

Other tips to remember when
serving alcohol include the use of
stande measures (like the l~
ounce bottle sprouts) at the bar to
mix drinks, the use of a non-
carbonated base for alcoholic
punch such as fruit JUICC (the
body absorbs alcohol faster when
mixed wrth carbonation) and al-
ways having on hand flavorful
non-alcoholic beverages for your
guests.

Good hosts and hostesses serve
their guests better and more con-
scientiously when they avoid hur-
rying to refill their guests' glasses
if they are filled with alcohol.
Some guests will take a forced
drink because they do not want to
appear rude.

If you observe one of your
guests consuming too much alco-
hol too quickly, you might en-
gage them in conversation, offer
to make their next drink (using

little or no alcohol) and offer
them high-protein food.

Southern Style Eggnog

4 eggs, separated

1/2 cup sugar

1/4 tsp. salt

3 cups milk 1 cup whipping
cream

Nutmeg

Whipped cream to garnish

While beating egg yolks. grad~
ually add 1/4 cup sugar and salt.
Stir in milk and cream gradually.
Cook mixture over hot water or
over low heat, stirring constantly,
until it thickens and coats a metal
spoon. Cool. Add vanilla extract
and chill thoroughly. Beat egg
whites until soft peaks form;
gradually add remaining 1/4 cup
sugar. Beat the refrigerated mix-
ture until smooth and frothy. Fold
in beaten egg whites. Sprinkle
with nutmeg and garnish with
whipped cream. Makes two
quarts.

Gift to cancer society
means free golf pass

By MONICA BRYAN
Staff Writer

Instead of adding another tie
to your father‘s infinite collec-
tion. or “surprising" him with
the annual aftershave gift set
that remains unopened. you
have a chance to make his
Christmas special by giving
him a Christmas surprise that
will last throughout the year.

The 1992 Golf Card. which
comes in its own personalized
envelop, is sponsored by the
American Cancer Society and
costs $30.

The card entitles the recipi-
ent to play at least l8 holes of
golf at more than 60 golf
courses throughout Kentucky
and five in Tennessee. Many
of the courses offer unlimited
play.

Some of the most prestig-
ious golf courses in the state
are participating, like Marri-
ott‘s Griffin Gate Resort, the
Campbell House Country
Club and the Connemara Golf
Club all in Lexington. Also in—

cluded are most of the state
park resort courses.

With an estimated value of
more than $1,200. the 1992
Golf Card can be used
throughout the year, from Jan.
I to Dec. 31. allowing suffi-
cient time to visit every
course.

Edith Fultz. manager of the
American Cancer Society’s
Fayette County Unit. said “al-
though the golf cards make ex-
cellent Christmas gifts, they
may be purchased at any time
during the year."

“For what you might spend
on one game of golf. you can
have a golf card that allows
you to visit 65 golf courses
anti participate in many, many
more games." she said. “More
importantly. you will be help-
ing cancer patients at the same
time."

tact: American Canccr Society.

End-of—semester stress can be handled

Anyone with college experienc-
es knows that as the end of the se-
mester approaches, stress increas-
es. Most students want to do well,
and worry ab0ut how everything
will turn out.

There are last-minute tests. pro-
jects or papers to prepare. Then
there are all those final exams to
study for. If all this isn‘t enough
to make you stressed out, then
come “The Holidays." Often eon-
sidercd a time of joy and celebra-
tion. holidays can come with their
own stressors. While you would
hibernate like a bear, refuse to
take finals. boycott the holidays,
and re-emergc in January. this is
not the most practical solution!

Instead, you can learn to make
the most out of a difficult time by
practicing some stress manage-
ment techniques.

Any change in routine requires
a personal adjustment of some
sort in order to adapt to the
change. These adjustments or the
inability to adjust can create
stress. At the end of the semester.
the need to prepare to finals.
moving out of the dorm and go—
ing home for the holidays are all
changes in the regular routine of
the semester, requiring students to
adjust and creating the potential

 

For the
HEALTH OF IT

for an increase in stress.

Stress can be felt physically,
which may show up as fatigue.
headache, upset stomach or diffi-
culty sleeping. Exercise. proper
nutrition and regular sleeping
time can help counteract the ef—
fects of stress on the body.

Reducing or eliminating caf-
feine, nicotine and alcohol helps
as well. It may seem like a good
idea to stay up all night, cram-
ming for an exam. but this in-
creases the stress on the body and
may actually decrease perfor—
mance on the exam.

Emotionally. you may feel wor-
ried or irritable. Congitively, you
may be telling yourself. “I’ll nev-
er get this done" or “I‘m going to
flunk out." which can increase
emotional stress. Just about eve-
ryone feels stressed during finals
week. It can be helpful to talk to
other students about your feel-
ings.

Instead of saying to your-
self.“I‘ll never make it" or “I'm
going to mess up." tell yourself

that you will do the best that you
can. Remember that you are un-
der more stress. and under those
conditions, it is unrealistic to ex-
pect yourself to feel as well as
you would under different cir-
cumstances. Remind yourself that
this stressful period is time limit-
ed and will be over soon.

Good time management can
help make the best use of availa-
ble time. Remember the old ad-
age.“First things first." Make a
list of goals to accomplish and set
priorities. Complete papers/
pr0jects due before finals week
first.

You can prioriti/e the way you
study for finals. concentrating
your efforts on learning the infor-
mation for finals scheduled earli-
er in the week first.

Make a specific. reasonable
schedule of study times and stick
to it. Find a comfortable place to
study. Break down large tasks
into smaller. more manageable
ones.

It's not reasonable to expect
yourself to study chapter after
chapter without getting tired,
bored. or distracted. Plan times
for regular breaks and relaxation.

Before. during and after finals.
it's likely that you'll be thinking

about the holidays too. You can
use time management principles
to help you here as well. budget-
ing time and money for Christmas
shopping. relaxation. and gather-
ing with family and friends.

Many people find themselves
feeling less than enthusiastic
about holidays. The holiday sea-
son is usually thought to be a hap-
py occasion spending “quality
time" with people you care about.
If family relationships are
strained. it may be difficult to feel
happy about being home. In-
spoken feelings or problems may
be covered up so that the family
can have “a nice holiday."

You can manage holiday stress
in the same ways that you man-
age other stress. Discuss concerns-
with supportive family members,
friends. or a counselor. Recogni/e
that everyone has limits *7 in tr
nances, capabilities. ante and tol-
erance levels. Be patient and kind
to yourself.

If you need more infonnation
on how to handle stress effective-
ly. you can schedule an appoint-

WHY WE
NEED
A NEW

Commonwealth

Library

”For students, the new library will
be the beginning of a new era in
learning. A new library will pro—
vide more places to study and do
research for projects and papers,
and provide the technology to
make things a lot easier to find.

”I believe that this University is a
top—notch institution and deserves
to attract the best students pos—
sible. This new library will help us
do that, and it is something all the
people in the Commonwealth can
claim as their own.

”I am a part of this project because
UK has given me the means to get
an education and has helped in
developing my future. When my
children come to UK and ask what
1 did while 1 was here, besides
being a student, I can take them to
the new Commonwealth Library
and say, ’Here is what 1 did. 1
helped to put this here.”’
