“It has the potential to slow

The new treatment centers
on the fact that Parkinson's de-

AIDS Center proposal awaits approval

Hope for the cure: Medical school applies
for research facility to help HIV patients

§!_-_’.'1'.'J"Y.!95Pf*3
SIAFF WRIIER

Members of the medical
school and other colleges are
putting together a proposal for
a grant that would fund an
AIDS research center at UK.

The group. known as the
UK (‘1nter for AIDS Investiga-
1111s is applying foi roughly
$700. 000 per \e: 11 for a five year
peiiod.

They must submit their ap-
plication to the National Insti-
tute of Health by June]

“I think we have a reason
able shot." said Rick Zimmer-
man. an associate professor in
communications who is the
proposed co-director for the
center.

Zimmerman explained that
for the past several years. nu-
merous UK faculty from the
medical center and other de-
partments have discussed dif-
ferent kinds of AIDS research
going on at UK.

The proposal for the AIDS
research center popped up a lit-
tle more than a year ago. he
said.

“At that point we decided
that it made sense to try to put
together an application.“

Zimmerman said an AIDS

center would provide sources
for HIV research that would
contribute to reducing HIV cas-
es in Kentucky and the rest of
the nation. The center will also
aim to connect researchers
across different disciplines.
This would lead to a broader
understanding about the causes
of HIV. he said.

Rodney Bales. coordinator
for an HIV dementia study at
UK. said he believes there‘s a
need for the center.

"I'm pretty surprised at the
number of people I‘ve met in
Kentucky with HIV." he said.

The reported number of
people with HIV is often lower
than the actual number of peo-
ple living with it because many
people aren't diagnosed. Bales
said.

“There‘s a big problem
with access for rural Kentuck-
ians They have a lot of prob-
lems getting here to get care
much less dealing with the com
plexity of the university when
they're from a smaller town."

Bales said an AIDS re
search center would impact
Kentucky communities in a
way that would support people
who have HIV.

Fewer than l2 students bought vouchers for tickets at Monday' 3 ticket
lottery for the Sweet Sixteen in Syracuse this weekend.

Lottery: Faithful few turn out to buy tickets
to watch Kentucky, Maryland in tournament

B_y_ Janet Eaton
CONIRIBUTING WRITER

They‘re the few. the true
blue. and they're on their way
to Syracuse this weekend to
root for the Cats.

Fewer than a dozen stu-
dents showed up at last night's
ticket lottery to pay $80 for the
160 available tickets to the two
sessions of the NCAA Sweet
Sixteen in New York.

Brothers Michael and
Derek Nesselrode. both computr
er science juniors. were more
than excited about the upcom-
ing games and Kentucky's
chances to do well against
Maryland. The brothers pre-
dicted Kentucky will win the
Maryland game by three with a
score of 75 to 72.

They‘ll be missing a calcu-
lus class to make the drive to
New York. But that is not what
they are worried about. They
haven't told their girlfriends

 

they are going yet.

“It‘s UK basketball. I love
you. Tiffany. but I've got to go."
Michael said.

Students had to be present
With a valid UK ID to buy tick
ets. No one could buy more
than one ticket voucher

Several students were up-
set to discover they couldn't
buy extra ticket vouchers for
their parents or friends.

Adam Goldstein. a blismess
junior. left Memorial (.‘olis‘euni
without a ticket because he did
n‘t want to make the drive to
Syracuse and cheer for the (‘ats
all by himself.

According to Assistant Ath
letics Director Alvis Johnson.
tickets are limited to one per
student to make sure every stu-
dent has a chance for tickets

“We don‘t want to set a
precedent by selling more than
one ticket to any game." said
Johnson.

Ex-girlfriend's testimony:
Ragland confessed murder

0n the stand: Star witness says Ragland

admitted he murdered

ASSOCIATID PRILSS

LEXINGTON The for
mer girlfriend of a man accused
in the sniper-style slaying of a
UK football player told a jury
Monday that he told her he was
the killer.

Aimee Lloyd is considered
the star witness for the prosecu
tion, which says that Shane
Ragland killed Trent DiGiuro
in retaliation for getting him
blackballed from the Sigma Al-
pha Epsilon fraternity

DiGiut'o was killed when t
bullet slammed into his temple
as he celebrated his let birth-
day with friends on the porch of
his home on July 17. 1994.

The crime went unsolved
for half a decade until Lloyd
came forward in January 2000
and told police that Ragland
told her while they were dating
that he shot and killed the
walk-on offensive lineman and

UK football player

honors student

Lloyd testified that she and
Ragland. now 28, began dating
in the winter of 1994 and that
the relationship lasted more
than a year.

She told the jury that
Ragland told her during a night
of drinking in the spring of 199:3
that he pedaled to DiGiuro‘s
house on a bike. took out a rifle
and shot DiGiuro.

“As hard as I've tried not to
remember this. he asked itie ifl
remembered the football player
who had been killed." she said.
“He told me his name. Trent.
and told the that he shot him.
that he was the one that killed
him."

Lloyd said Ragland hated
DiGiuro for helping keep him
from becoming a member of the
fraternity.

“He said [DiGiuro] was a
jerk. just an awful person.”

The proposed structure of

Among the divisions are a
prevention core that will edu~

clinical research core that will
organize a database of people

ing treated at UK.

There are 18 other centers
for AIDS research in the United

Zimmerman said the group

approved. they‘ll begin receiv~

Show brought relief
from teenage angst

Growing up: 'My So-Called Life' spoke into the hearts of teens,
helping them cope with the challenges and tests of becoming adults

When "My So—
(‘alled Life" premiered
in 1994. my life was for-
ever changed.
Now. I don‘t mean
that in a cheesy. “I
found the answer to
life" way. but the series
of hour-long shows did
Andrea “hue help wean me out of
W childhood. which war»
rants much credit to my
life.

Really. the tniracle of “My So-(‘alled Life"
\V'Jls that it captured the turbulence of adoles-
l‘t‘ll(‘t‘

The show. which lasted for oiily I9 episodes
on ABC. polished the idea of what it's like to be
13. w itli a whole world of profound responsibility
and sexual evolution ahead. Never before. in this
writer's memory. has a show so charmed the
idea of feeling useless and lost in life.

This was no “Beverly Hills. 90210." with fan»
cy soirees and spandex dresses accented with
thick cliokers. This was the story of a group of
friends who were outside of the popular tribe.
with liquor in the school parking lot and rippetl
T-shirts worn over moss-green sweaters,

Angela (‘hase (Claire Danes). the show's
main character. was the epitome of adolescent
confusion. The 15-year-old with deep—red hair. a
slim hotly and flat chest characterized the daze of
dealing wrth parents. sex and drugs. Angela was
like a turtle that had just come out of its shell.

She was molded by her best friends. Rayanne
(‘yraif (Allison .ioy Langer). a hip girl with braid-
ed and headed hair labeled the “school slut." and
Rickie Vasquez (Wilson Cruz). a teenager with
slick black hair who often struggled with criti—
cisiii for being gay.

And then there was Jordan (‘atalano (Jared
Leto). the guitar-toting cool guy with a sheet of
brown hair down to his chili. He was just cool
enough to be sexy. and just mysterious enough to
stir Angela's emotions (which led to a major
infatuation).

“My So-(‘alled Life.“ highly acclaimed at
first. met its demise because of low ratings.

But I loved it.

Nothing was better than lying on my bed and

Sterne and dotted.

hormonal lovers in the ABC hit, "My So-Called Life."

turning on the TV when it was time for the show
to come on. then listening to the whispered “Go
now. go" that was part ofthe opening music.

My best friends and I thought Jordan was the
best thing since whipped cream. and I considered
Angela anti Rayanne some of the coolest people
around. '

But what was even more enthralling was
that the show characters. plots and all mir-
rored my life. I was Angela. so I thought. and my
social life was just like hers.

I had the sexy grungeboy who played games
with my head. the best friend who lived a life
without rules. and the parents who made it awk»
ward for me to be around because of their insis-
tence to know about my social life.

It's shows like “My So-Called Life" that are
missing on TV nowadays. I'm just thankful we
are of the generation that had an ally. like “My
So-Called Life" during adolescence that let us
know that We were not alone in our confusion.

Shows that shaped
us (or at least made us
laugh a lot)

Remember the times you
pulled your pants up to your chest
to do an imitation of Urltet? Ever had
to tell your little sister that you did-
n't know what sex was while you
were watching the pilot of "My So-
Called Life?" Fought with your
friends over the ownership of look
from “Saved by the Bell?" Rapped
the whole theme song to “Fresh
Prince of Bel-Air?"

For the next two days, we've
compiled a couple of stories about
popular TV shows you may have
watched when you were younger.

Whorearetheynow?

Jaleel Ahmad White (Urltel.
“Family Matters") was most recent-
ly seen on the big screen in the film
Big Fat Liar, where he played him-
self.

Kellie Shanygne Williams (Lau-
ra, "Family Matters," was last seen
in the TV series "What About Joan"
in 2001.

Jason Priestley (Brandon,
"9OZIO") was hired in March 200i
by ABC TV as a commentator for the
Indy racing series.

Tori Spelling (Donna, "902l0")
had plastic surgery on her nose in
1994 after a "parrot bit her". She
will be seen in this year's Naked
Movie. where she will play herself.

Claire Danes (Angela, "My 50-
Called Life") was banned from the
Phillipines in Sept. I998 for making
derogatory remarks about the coun-
try. For the l999 movie The Mod
Squad, she earned $2 million. In
2002. she is scheduled to appear in
four movies.

Jared Leto (Jordan, "My So-
Called Life) gave up sex for two
months when he was preparing for
his role as a heroin addict in the
movie Requiem for a Dream (2000).
He also lost 28 pounds for the role.
He will next be seen in the upcoming
Panic Room.
