grant to study deer

By ANDY ELBON
Staff Writer

A UK assistant professor of forest-
ry has received a grant of more
than $30,000 to investigate why deer
are leaving eastern Kentucky

The Kentucky Department of Fish
and Wildlife has given William
McComb. a Kentucky wildlife spe-
cxalist. a grant of 530.290 to explore
the deer population problem of the
Cumberland plateau. a region that
includes eastern Kentucky

Mct‘omb's task consists of tagging
a sample amount of does. the fe»
males of the group. that have been
moved from Ballard t‘ounty re—
serves in western Kentucky to forest
area in eastern Kentucky. specifical-
ly in Knott (‘ounty

The does. tagged with radio trans-
mitters and representing about 10
percent of all the translixated deer.
will be followed and studied to see if
they survive the winter and repror
duce

McComb said that the effort to tag
and follow translocatcd deer is the
first project of its kind in Kentucky.

and with a projected total of 300
deer moved. it is the biggest ever
undertaken in the L'nited States

"We expect to characterize
the mortality patterns of these intro-
duced deer to those already there."
he said.

"If their mortality rate is unusual
ly high. it just may not be worth
while" to move the deer in the fu-
ture.he said

Mct‘omb said that the Fish and
Wildlife grant Will be used for the
radio eqmpment. travel expenses
and tranquilizers and other methods
to catch the does for tagging Stu
dents who aSSlSI in the project also
will be paid with the grant money

Richard Pais. a wildlife specialist
who has done similar tracking ex-
periments with radio collars. has
been brought in to handle the tt‘t‘hlll'
cal aspects of the project He has
worked with radio tracking in New
Jersey in a study of black bear hithk
tation

"We want to know if they died.
and if they died. why they died.”

UK architects propose
city ‘sky-bridge’ plaza

idea for

UK architecture professors
M Pinney‘ and Paul .I
have proposed .i unique
downtown Leitingtoii

To be called "Lexington Sky
Bridge Plaza. ' the project is to be
constructed in the air rights above
the Harrison Avenue \'r.iduct Sup
ported by four concrete pylons. it
will be 14 feet above the roadway

“This idea is unique to Lexmg
ton." Amatuzzo said "I do not know
of any public park in the country
that is bu1|t in the air rights of a
street "

The proposed plaza contains an
area to be used by local artists or
merchants to display their wares. a
bandstand and outdoor cafe to serve
drinks and sandwiches. and possibly
a roller skating during the surrimcr
months. In winter. the space could
be converted into an ice skating
rink. and the cafe could convert its
menu to serve cold weather foods
and beverages

Other programs the architects enr
vtsmn for the plaza include films.
concerts and lectures According to
the written proposal submitted by
the two architects "the plazas pro-
grams and events could be under
the direction of the Parks and Rec
reation Department. and should be a
revenue producing faci lity

According to Amatuzzo. the park

“This idea is unique to
Levington. I do not
know ofany' public
park in the country
that is built in the air

rights ofa street. ”
Paul J. «lmatuzzo.

could hold specral Significance to the
t‘niversity' community “Harrison

ing the ['niversity to downtown l.cx
ington It is a walking link between
the center of the t'niversity l’attcr
son Tower and the Student (‘cntcr
and the center of downtown Loving
ton "

Amatuzzo also added that the long
term plan of the L'rban (‘ounty l’lan
ning and Development commission
is to develop this area of downtown

Amatuzzo and Pinney have no
commitments from local govern
ment as to the funding of this pro-
ject. “Local government. as of now.
does not have the means to fund the
plaza." Amatuzzo said.

The two architects stressed that
the plaza is just a proposal "No one
has asked us to put the proyect onto
a computer and run a cost esti-
mate.“ Pinney said.

llll‘A

In vitro it‘l'lllllttlltlll has been an
accepted treatment for tubal disease
and other infertility disorders since
1978 “hi vitro fertilitation is consid
cred an alternatiie to other forms of
therapy for infertility.“ according to
a press release "Whereas it was
once used for only irreparably dain-
aged tubes it is now being consid
cred for other disorders "

the in yitro process involyes re
moving three to five eggs from the
mothers ovary. fertilizing the eggs
with the husband's sperm and im-
planting the fertili/cd eggs back into
the mother s uterus

The success rate of the procedure
is in to 33 percent per cycle

Before undergoing treatment. the
couple is screened to determine the
cause of infertility. and the in vitro
process is used only in situations
deemed untreatablc. Wilson said.
The candidates also are interviewed
and examined in an outpatient de-
partment and view a videotape ex-
plaining the process

Although about 3o centers nation-
wide perform the in vitro lel'tllllil'
tiori and embryo transfer procedure.
Wilson said he considers the in vitro
program at (K "somewhat unique
opposed to other in vitro centers. “

Male nurses cope with stereotypes
associated with their chosen careers

By S.\ll..\.l \ \l \l.l-?.\ll’.\Tl

Men often suffer from some of the
same agerold prejudices encoun-
tered by women and the nursing
profession is a pt‘ll’lll‘ example.

Men in nursing are many times
given the false identification of not
being totally masculine. according
to (‘arl Kaiser. a staff nurse at the
17K Medical (‘enter People seem to
think that only women and frail men
get into the nursing profession. he
said. "As far as masculinity and the
male goes. I really don‘t feel I have
different ideas t than other men i.

"The things that people associate
with nursing ~— gentleness. caring —
have always been associated with
women." he said “I feel they are
part of a masculine personality also.

There should not have to be a sexual
requirement for any job "
