Students
remember
lost friend

By Alison Kight

[iterative Editor

To most of UK's 24,000 students, Jana Oliver is
just a face in the newspapers and on television.

She is the subject of much publicity, and her
death from mengingococcal sepsis, a form of menin-
gitis, has perhaps scared more than saddened many.

But to many, like her Sigma Kappa social sorority
sisters and her friends in Blanding Tower and on
South Campus,_lana was a vibrant girl with all of the
promise life can give.

“In everything I read or saw on TV, it seems like
she was more ofa bacteria than a person," said her
friendjason Mabry, an agronomy freshman, “I got
really pissed off."

Oliver’s friend Nancy Jeffries, a communication
freshman, said some people had been wary around
her when they found out about her close relation—
ship with Oliver.

During an intramural basketball game, the refer-
ee noticed she was shaky, and when he found out
she had taken rifampin, an antibiotic to combat
meningitis, he backed away frotn her.

“He was like, ‘don't get me sick,” she said. “It
really bothered me."

Her friends don't remember Oliver as a disease
that alarmed campus, but for other things.

They remember her as the little girl who “could
curl up into the tiniest ball I’ve ever seen,” said
friend Sarah Sallee, an undeclared freshman.

Or the tiny blond who was crazy for Mountain
Dew Big Slams and Caramello candy bars.

The girl who always wanted to order Chinese
food, at any time of the night or day, and knew the
names of “practically every restaurant in Lexing—
ton,"]effries said.

And the girl who loved to dance.

“She could dance better than anyone else I've
ever seen," said her friend Nick West, an unde-
clared freshman. “That girl really knew how to
move.”

West described Oliver as “made out of porce-
lain.”

“She looked like she was about to break,” he said.
“But once at the Commons, she walked up to me,
and this little girl puts a death grip on me. I couldn‘t
breathe, but she said she just wanted to give me a
hug.”

Mahry said he was plannin to teach Oliver how
to rock climb this semester before she got sick.

“I took her to Red River Gorge once, and she did
reall ' well," he said. “Out of anybody I've ever
taught, she had lots of natural talent. She was so
nimble.”

Perhaps the nitnbleness can be attributed to
Oliver’s dancing. She played the part of Clara in
“The Nutcracker" in the Louisville Ballet when she
was younger, and her ballet director spoke at her
funeral.

In the future, every girl who wins the role of
Clara will also be the recipient of the jana Oliver
Award.

A self-described “crazy driver,” Oliver loved to
scare her friends while they rode around in her royal
blue Mazda Miata.

“She derived pleasure out of frighteninr me,"
said her friend Andy Becherer, an undeclare( fresh-
man who knew Oliver while she was a student at
Sacred Heart Academy in Louisville and also hung
out' with her at school.

Many of her friends said they felt better now that
the funeral was over and they got a chance to talk to
Oliver’s family.

“I was really de )ressed until I talked to her moth—
er,” Sallee said. “She was just reat through every-
thing. After the funeral, I couldgfinally sleep.”

Barry “'illiams and Tracy

cise science senior, are members
of Peer Health Advocates for Sex
Education (PHASE), which is
sponsoring a safe sex awareness
and S.T.D. prevention booth in
the White Hall Classroom Build-

The group was set up yester—
day and will continue today and
tomorrow to provide free con—
doms, candy and a chance to reg—
ister to win a dinner for two.

“Our mission is to educate
people about safer behaviors in
dating and relationships," Rogers
said. “Safe sex is no longer a
taboo subject."

In addition to the multi—col—
ored condoms and heart~shaped
candy, the gToup is also distribut-

cial techniques and procedures to
ensure proper condom placement
on and removal from the penis.
The brochure says to “never
use teeth or sharp objects when
opening the package, and if the

from your partner."

The group is also distributing

sage around that safe sex is
important,” \Voodram said.

\Villiams urges students to not
be deterred by the name of the
booth and to stop by.

“You do not have to kiss us in

Med Center death leaves questions

By Brenna Reilly
Nam Editor

and Jeff Vinson
Campus Editor

Questions still surround the death of a 27-year—
old doctor who died while on-call at the UK Chan—
dler Medical Center.

Rosendo Francisco Borres, 27, a first-year resiv
dent in anesthesiology, died jan. 19 while on duty at
the UK Medical Center emergency room after
inhaling the anesthetic isoflurane.

UK Police Chief \V.H. McComas said Borres
a )parently poured the anesthetic isoflurane into a
cloth to enhance his ability to o to slee .

McComas said Borres proEably rolliad over and
inhaled the isoflurane. Investigators found a bottle
of isoflurane and a cloth in the room with Borres,
McComas said. UK Police investigated the death
with the Coroner‘s office.

A wire service had reported that the death was
not investigated by police until 24 hours later. The
coroner's office investigated the death, said Mary
Margaret Colliver, Medical Center spokeswoman.

She said that in cases where both suicide and
criminal activity are ruled out as the cause of death.
the coroner's investigation is sufficient.

However, (Iolliver added that it was “an over
sight on (the Medical Center's) part not to call" the
UK Police.

According to the coroner's report, Borrcs‘ the
death was caused by the blockage of the mouth and
nose against a pillow while lying prone to sedation
and by inhaling the anesthetic agent, isoflurane in
liquid form.

“Isoflurane is an extremely common general
anesthetic agent used throughout the country
throughout the world, actually," said Dr. \Villiani
\Vitt, chairman of the UK Department of Anesthe—
siology.

Vl'itt said that the agent is available in the operat
ing rooms, in—patient and out—patient, and in the
labor and delivery suites.

“The only medical purpose for it is as a general
anesthetic," he said.

Borres was found unresponsive by a fellow doctor
and was taken to the emergency room, where he w as
pronounced dead at 7:40 a.m.

The UK Young Democrats is a new organization

“Our main goal is to educate the students of the

said Kevin Kidd, co-founder of Young Democrats.
“Hopefully, we can be an example to the whole
political party system.”

but the Young Democrats rely on more campaigns
and rigorous political work.

“Students need to attend to their political issues
because it does affect their life," said political science
professor Don Gross, who will serve as the group's
faculty adviser.

The Young Democrats will also be involved in
letter writing, campai ns, holding issue forums for
students, bringing p0 itical figures to campus, and
holding debates with other UK organizations on
cam us.

he organization also intends to feature a num-
ber of olitical figures to speak to students on vari—

The men’s team boasts junior sprint

in the 50—yard freestyle with a time of 20.16.

“He‘s real close to being qualified for the

VPitino has a 3-3 overall
record against Vanderbilt in
Nashville. The only other SEC
teams that have shown this type of

riding a l7~game winning streak
and are heavy favorites to take
another step toward becoming the
first team to go undefeated in SEC
play since Alabama in 1955-56.
“(Kentucky is) a team with very

Jan van Breda Kolff said during
