(‘ollege students from across Kentucky

than just a field trip and made legislators
listen to what they had to say.

The fact that these students were not
paid to be lobbyists made legislators under-
stand they were serious about their beliefs.

of the bills debated. bill 490 probably
got the most attention from the group.

“We all wore stickers to protest this
bill. which would put restrictions on corpo
rate welfare." Varellas said.

Varcllas said he thinks it had an effect.

“We had legislators walking up to us
saying ‘what's bill lflli‘." he said.

Another bill students were passionate
about was the death penalty bill.

"We wanted to pack two courtrooms.

Welcome to death row: Bills being debated in the 2000 General Assembly
seek to abolish the death penalty; poll recently publlished

By Tracy Kershaw
ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR

Capital punishment awaits its
sentence in the Kentucky General
Assembly.

Two bills have been proposed
in the General Assembly to abolish
the death penalty in Kentucky.
House Bill 514 calls for the aboli-
tion of the death penalty overall.
while House Bill 311 calls for the
abolition of the juvenile death
penalty.

The United States is among
only four other countries to still ex-
ecute persons who were convicted
of murder as a juvenile.

The bills are now before the
House judiciary committee. The
committee will vote to send the
bills onto the entire house.

Karen Potter. criminal justice
instructor at Eastern Kentucky
University. said Bill 311 has a de-
cent chance of passing. Conversely,

Bill 514 may not even make it past
the Judiciary committee because
the death penalty is a very political
issue and people have strong feel-
ings about it, she said.

“Politicians want to appear
hard on crime, and the death penal.
ty is a witness test to their tough-
ness. They would not take that op-
tion away from juries," she said.

39 people are now on'death row
in Kentucky. That number could
soon raise to 41, after a jury last
week in Lexington recommended
the death penalty for two convicted
murderers. One is the case of first
woman ever sentenced to death in
Kentucky and the other is the first
Caucasian to be given the death
penalty for murdering an African
American.

Some UK students traveled to
Frankfort to lobby for the end of
the death penalty, including Amy
Shelton, French and linguistics ju-

nior. Shelton is president of the
UK Amnesty International chapter
and also serves on the board for the
Abolition 2000 Campaign. which
consists of38 religious and civic or-
ganizations across the state work-
ing to abolish the death penalty.

Shelton and her counterparts
represent the attitude of the nearly
40 percent of Kentuckians. accord-
ing to the Survey Research Center
of the University of Louisville.

Over the past ten years. the
center has conducted a series of
scientific polls measuring the atti-
tudes of Kentuckians about the
death penalty.

The latest survey. taken in
Dec. 1999. revealed a near 10 per-
cent drop in the percentage of Ken-
tuckians who support the use of
capital punishment in the cases of
convicted murderers. The percent-
age dropped from 69.1 percent in
1997 to 59. 2 percent in the Dec. 1999
poll.

WASHINGTON ,__ President Clinton tried to
reassure doctors and hospitals yesterday that re-

in response to a report that estimated medical

Many kids on prescribed drugs

CHICAGO ~- A study of more than 200.000
preschoolage children shows that the number of
2- to 4-year-olds on psychiatric drugs including
Ritalin and antidepressants such as Prozac
soared 50 percent between 1991 and 1995. The
study was reported in the Journal of the Ameri-

troubled by the findings. because the effects of
such drugs in children so young are largely un-
known.

Some drugs cheaper for pets

WASHINGTON Congressional investiga-
tors compared 14 pOpular prescription drugs

Bill Delahunt, who requested the study for the
House Government Reform Committee, said to-
day the prices make some drugs unaffordable for
people without insurance. Drug company repre-
sentatives called the study ridiculous and said
the prices must be seen in the proper context.

A 13-2 run beginning at the
9:40 mark sealed the game for
the Cats. They also held Mor-
ton to one second-half basket.
as she finished with 22 points.

“I was taking it to the has
ket in the first half. and they
weren’t stopping me." said
Morton. who in the opening
half blew by UK defenders
overplaying her outside shot.
“They picked it up defensively
in the second half. We just‘did-
n’t make the adjustments.”

Making the defensive ad-
justment for UK was Jackson.
who spent most of the second
half becoming acquainted
with the inside of Morton‘s
jersey.

“The first half really wore
her down." Mattox said. “We
made some adjustments. and
we decided that we didn't
want the ball in her (Morton‘s)
hands. We also stopped mak-
ing those senseless fouls."

“Erica Jackson did a great
job on her," U of L co-head
coach Martin Clapp said. “We
didn’t do a good job of setting
screens for her either. Jill had
a shadow the entire second
half.“

Owens and McDole
grabbed double-figure re-
bounds for UK. and combined
for 13 offensive rebounds and
numerous putbacks and
layups, much to the aggrava-
tion of Clapp.

“It came down to them
crashing the boards in the sec-
ond half.“ he said. “They made
the plays they needed to down
the stretch. That's all you can
ask from your players."

“They were really physi-
cal." U of L forward Alison
Bass said. “It’s something I‘ve.
played against before, but it‘s
not something I'm used to.
Every shot of mine was con-
tested inside."

UK‘s smothering defense
held U of L to 35.5 percent
shooting from the field, and
the Lady Cards only shot six
three-pointers for the game
(they had been averaging 15.5
attempts per game). '

“It was a win we needed to
have." said UK guard Tiffanyo
Wait, who finished with 15
points. “The win really helped
our attitude. Everyone’s readyr
to end the season with a
bang."

Sexual slavery biggest
illicit trade, feds say

Worldwide trend: White House urges Senate
to pass bill aimed at curbing trafficking

ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON With as
many as 2 million women
worldwide forced into sexual
slavery. the sex trade seems to
have replaced narcotics as the
favored illegal trade activity.
White House officials told at a
Senate hearing Tuesday.

Harold Koh. assistant Sec-
retary of State for democracy.

international criminals are
moving away from “guns and
drugs" to marketing women.

“There are weaker re-
straints and growing demand."
Koh told the Senate Foreign Re-
lations subcommittee on Near
Eastern and Southern Asian Af~
fairs.

Sen. Sam Brownback. R—
Kan.. who chaired the hearing.
spoke of meeting some women
victims during recent travels to
Asia and called the trade ”the
greatest manifestation of slav-
ery in the world today."

“They are told they will be
taking a job as a nanny and are
given money of their family.

Then they are taken across a
border and held against their
will." he said.

"We are only beginning to
learn the methods of this indus-
try." Hrownhack said. “Two-
thirds come back with AIDS or
tuberculosis. They basically
come back to die."

A woman called Inez and
disguised to protect her identi-
ty testified that she was forced
into a life of sexual slavery in
the United States by traffickers
in her native Mexico.

She said she was duped by
men who promised her work at
a restaurant but said she owed

them a “smuggling fee“ of

$2.500 that she had to pay off by
selling herselfto men.

“We worked six days a
week and 12-hour days." she
said. “We mostly had to serve
32 to 35 clients a day.”

Law enforcement officials
raided the brothel and while
sortie of the traffickers have
been prosecuted. some escaped
capture and returned to Mexi-
co. she said.

Solid numbers on the scope

of the problem are hard to come
by. but best estimates show at
least 50.000 women brought into
the United States annually for
forced labor. officials said

A breakdown of interna-
tional borders and expansion of

Researchers look to
nicotine as pain reliever

Still needs work: One experiment shows
promise, some doctors wary of addictiveness

ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON W The
same nicotine that makes ciga-
rettes so addictive may also
have a good side. Researchers
say it shows promise against
Parkinson’s disease and a vari-
ety of other brain conditions.

In a variety of studies re-
viewed Monday. doctors said
the evidence is mounting that,
nicotine can relieve symptoms
by changing the way the brain
uses message-carrying chemi-
cals called neurotransmitters.

Researchers are testing
nicotine patches for neurologi-
cal diseases in both children
and the elderly, and drug com-
panies are competing to devel-
op nicotine substitutes that
have fewer side effects.

At a conference Monday.
doctors said the field‘s first
gold-standard study — one in
which dummy treatments are
rigorously compared with the

real thing , suggests the patch
shows promise in children with
Tourette‘s syndrome. a strange
affliction in which victims may
have violent urges and shout
Obscenities. and exhibit a spate
of tics.

Still. nicotine has many
drawbacks. including its unsa-
vory reputation as the addic-
tive grabber in cigarettes. Some
experts believe nicotine‘s real
future is in fake forms of the
drug.

“The problem with nicotine
is that it is nicotine. You're ask-
ing parents to put their kids on
nicotine." said Dr. Paul R. Sati-
berg of the University of South
Florida. who has tested the
drug on more than 100 young
Tourette's patients.

Typically. doctors treat
Tourette‘s with Haldol. a pow-
erful tranquilizer that is also
used against schizophrenia. In
the latest study. Sanberg and

colleagues combined nicotine
patches and Haldol in 70 chil-
dren. halfof whom got dummy
patches.

The study found those on
nicotine did better and were
able to control their symptoms
with lower than usual doses of
Haldol. “The data suggest that a
low-dose nicotine patch may be
useful in 'l‘ourette‘s syndrome."
said Sanberg.

He and others experiment»
ing with nicotine described
their research at a conference
sponsored by the American As-
sociation for the Advancement
of Science.

Nicotine patches and gum
are available in drugstores
without prescriptions. They are
intended to help smokers wean
themselves offcigarettes.

The researchers cautioned
that smoking is a bad way to
get medical nicotine. Besides
the obvious cancer risk. drug
levels spike much higher in cig-
arettes.

They also say more re»
search is needed before nico-
tine patches become routine.

“There is clearly rising tension in the
