CLS receives journal's top billing

Division of College of Allied Health pumped about recent
recognition, says program is continually moving ahead

By Pat Clem
ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR

At least one program at UK is making
the goal of becoming a top-20 research in-
stitution look easy. That program is the
Clinical Laboratory Sciences division of
the College of Allied Health.

The program has achieved the distinc-
tion of being the top-ranked CLS program
in the country. according to Clinical Labo-
ratory Science. a national professional
journal.

Vincent S. Gallicchio. an associate

dean of CLS. was also named the highest
faculty scholarly productivity professor in
the country.

CLS students are the people that doc-
tors send body fluids and tissue to, to be
analyzed. thus aiding in the diagnosis of
various diseases. The field includes hema-
tology. clinical chemistry, microbiology
and blood banking.

The honor will help evolve the program
in to a better educational opportunity.

“We are in the process of developing
our graduate program. a master's PhD.

program," said Raymond L. Olesinski. di-
rector of CLS. “One way this will help is
by raising our reputation and attracting
talented faculty and grad students.“

Gallicchio doesn't take sole credit for
the honor.

“Faculty and staff were an integral part.
as well as students, especially international-
ly based students." he said. ”This gives us a
good opportunity to advance technology,
skill and education in the field of medical
technology in to the next millennium.“

The outlook for UK‘s involvement in
future advancements in this field is posi»
tive. Gallicchio has received two patents in
the past year for new medical drug deliv-
ery systems.

One involves the idea that some anti-
viral drug agents can be made more effec:

tive when produced chemically as a lithie
um salt and the other is a new drug deliv-
ery system that could remove some of the
side effects of chemotherapy.

Some students in the program are
thrilled about the CLS ranking. saying the
teachers in the program are extremely ef-
fective in passing on information.

“I had (Gallicchio) for an immunology
class last year." said Holly Wilson. a CLS
senior. “I really learned a lot."

Stacy Taluskie. also a CLS senior, said
Gallicchio and Anne Stiene‘Martin. a hema-
tology professor who retires in June. are in-
ternationally recognized for their work.

“She's the bomb. She has written six
textbooks. including the one we use." she
said. “He's a research guy. he's working on
a cure for AIDS in Africa right now."

Taking precautions: It's National Trauma Awareness

By Elizabeth Garofalo
STAFF WRlTER

As UK students begin to anticipate
the beginning of the summer season, UK
trauma workers anticipate the arrival of
a different season: trauma season.

May is National Trauma Awareness
Month and the beginning of the peak
season of traumas. Experts and volun-
teers from the UK trauma program are
emphasizing the importance of reducing
injuries. through a prevention program
directed toward students.

The UK Trauma Prevention Pro-
gram consists of health care workers
and volunteers traveling to Kentucky
high schools and middle schools to
speak about the importance of trauma
prevention.

“We‘re committed to injury preven-
tion just as much as injury treatment."
said Colleen Swartz, registered nurse
and director of trauma and emergency
transportation at UK Hospital. “This is
the most effective way to make the most
impact."

The UK Prevention Program consists
of three main parts. The program begins
with a film. entitled Think First, featuring
trauma victims. Second. a professional

guest speaker. such as a doctor, nurse or
a paramedic. will explain about trauma
injuries and the affects they have on the
brain. spinal cord and other organs. Fi-
nally. a trauma victim will speak about
how her life has changed since she was

injured.

The group speaks about preventing
high risk behavior and promoting safe
behavior. These behaviors include using
seat belts. using appropriate techniques
for recreational activities. using safe-
guards when operating motor vehicles.
avoiding drinking and driving and us-
ing safety precautions around shallow

water.

speaking to students about her life-alter-

Hall said she tries to tell the stu-
dents about basic tasks she can‘t do
since her accident. such as rolling over
in bed and sliding across a restaurant
booth. She said she wants to tell kids
things that will make them think.

Unlike Chicago, it was a

got to jog around downtown

In Boston, runners had
to trek through five suburbs

United by Jesus

University Christian Fellowship provides outlet
for students to explore themselves, world

By Jonathan Riggs
smr mm: —

Members of the campus-
based University Christian Fel-
lowship say they're not just a
church, they‘re a family. and
they believe this family relation
ship can provide a valuable reli-
gious resource for UK students.

“1 think people on this cam-
pus really need Jesus." said UCF
member Ryan Korosec. “There's
a lot of people looking for some.
thing to get their life together.
We want to be able to share the
answer. Jesus, with everyone.“

The UCF originally began
as part of the Lexington Christ-
ian Fellowship. started 25 years
ago by former UK student Billy
Henderson as a church group.
Korosec said. This group. which
met in Henderson‘s room. grew
into Friday night meetings and
then into a full-fledged church.
as Henderson left UK to become
the pastor.

started UCF as a series of cam~
pus meetings. and at the begin-
ning of this semester. it became
another church. Korosec said
about 30 people regularly attend.

Members say a family mind
set is one of the most important
ideals for the group.

“We‘re more of a team. and
that's a big thing for us." said
Pastor Chad Grissom. “We take
one step at a time in terms of
growth. We grow one person at
a time. If and when we grow to
the point where you can‘t know
everyone in the room. we'll
start another group."

Korosec agrees quality is
more important than quantity.

“It's been great." Korosec
said. “Our vision is not to be
huge. but to be a close family.
and that‘s what we're doing."

Most members seem to
agree. They say they’re more
than satisfied with the growth
process the fellowship has tak-
en over these past few months.

been to live out Biblical values
on campus as a family." Gris-
som said. “Our purpose is to
help one another follow Jesus
and to know. challenge and en-
courage each other.”

Members of the fellowship
say they‘re looking toward the
future as a team, especially for
a trip to Mexico this summer.

“We go down to Mexico
three times a year for medical
missions." Grissom said. “On
the trip this summer. we‘ll also
help put the roof on a church."

To raise money for the
Mexico trip. the fellowship held
a car wash at the Nicholasville
Road WalsMart Saturday from
10 am. to 5 pm.

Even as they make plans
for the future. members look
back over the semester and say
they‘re proud of the shape and
direction the group has taken.

"We‘ve really become a
very close-knit group that real-
ly loves to worship God," said
forestry sophomore Heather
Simpson. “When I first came to
college. it was kind of hard to
find a church. But when I ran
into the people from the UCF. it

Soothing the protesters

Chinese government tries to end
largest protest in capital decade

ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIJING Break-
ing two days of official
silence. the Chinese
government tried yes-
terday to allay the con-
cerns of a group whose
members staged the
largest protest in Chi-
na's capital in 10 years.

Foreign Ministry
spokesman Sun Yuxi
said concerns by group
members about a gov—
ernment crackdown
against them were
groundless.

On Sunday. 10.000
followers of Falun
Gong surrounded
Zhongnanhai, the com-
munist leadership
compound. to demand
freedom to practice
without official inter—
ference.

Premier Zhu
Rongji, who heads the
State Council. China‘s
Cabinet. intervened.
meeting with represen-
tatives of the group to
defuse the situation.

“The leaders of the
State Council asked
the officials of the rele-
vant departments to
listen to the opinions
of these people." Sun
said at a twice-weekly
media briefing.

His were the gov—
ernment’s first public
comments on the
protest. The demon-
stration unnerved Chi-
nese leaders, coming
so close to the 10th an-
niversary of the bloody
crackdown on the 1989
democracy movement.
which happened just

blocks away in Tianan-
men Square.

The sudden ap-
pearance of the pro-
testers on the doorstop
of the leadership‘s
posh living and work—
ing compound of
Zhongnanhai was a
powerful display of the
group‘s discipline and
organization.

Founded in 1992 by
Li Hongzhi. a martial
arts master who now
lives in New York.
Falun Gong borrows
heavily from Bud-
dhism and Taoism and
styles itself as a form of
“qigong.” a traditional
practice that uses exer-
cise and meditation to
improve spiritual and
physical health.

The government is
wary of the group's ap-
peal. It has by official
count 70 million mem-
bers. more than the 58
million members of the

Communist Party. But
so far the government
considers Falun Gong
to be a type of qigong
and not a religious cult.

"With regard to
qigong and body build-
ing. governments at
various levels have
never banned this,"
Foreign Ministry
spokesman Sun said.

Sunday‘s protest
was intended to get the
central government to
clarify its stand on
Falun and ensure the
group can practice
legally. said Rong Yi. a
spokeswoman for Li in
New York.

Falun followers
converged on Beijing
after a critical maga—
zine article on the
group appeared in
nearby Tianjin city
and police roughed up
devotees who went to
protest the report. Yi
said.

UK battles back to tie score twice against WKU, but can't
rally a third time in the bottom of the ninth to pull out win

By Michael Heppermann
ASSISTANT SPORTSDAILY EDITOR

“Almost“ doesn‘t count in baseball and
it didn't count for UK last night.

The Cats nearly pulled it off, coming
from behind to tie the game twice against
Western Kentucky. but they couldn't do it a
third time and the Hilltoppers won 7-5.

UK set itself up for a comeback early in
the game as the first two batters for West-
ern hit a single and a double to put men on
second and third with no outs. T.J. Free-
man then stepped to the plate and took ad-
vantage by drilling a three-run shot off of
UK‘s starter. sophomore Jon Hooker.

But the first comeback didn't take long
as junior Aaron McGlone drove in sopho-
more Beau Moore with a single to score
their first run in the bottom of the first.
Moore came up again in the bottom of the
second and knocked a two-run (linger. his
sixth of the year. over the rightfield wall.

Tied 3-3.

Moore said he thought at that point the
team would be OK.

“We usually do a good job of coming
from behind and even extending our lead
in those situations.“ he said.

It would be Western. though. who ex-
tended the lead two innings later in part be-
cause of two errors.

Hilltopper Kevin Clutter bunted safely
in the top of the fourth and reached third

on a single by Tanner Townsend. A wild
pitch by Hooker allowed Clutter to score. A
past ball then moved Townsend to third. A
sacrifice fly to center brought Townsend
home and UK found itself down 5-3.

Just one inning later, the second come-
back was underway.

McGlone stepped to the plate in the bot-
tom of the fifth and hit his 13th home run of
the year to cut the lead to 54.

Their bats remained quiet for the next
three innings until UK loaded the bases in
the eighth and a fielder’s choice from Will
Crumbaugh brought in junior Breck Price
from third. Tied again, 5-5.

The Cats had many other chances,
though. to put runs on the board and failed
to do just that. Three times UK failed to
score when the bases were loaded and left
runners in scoring position in the third as
well.

"We left too many men on base." Mc-
Glone said. “Every game we want to get 10
runs and we came up well short of 10 runs
tonight."

Moore agreed and said that stranded
runners made the difference in the game.

“We made mental mistakes with men
on." he said.

Nevertheless, they scored enough to tie
it going into the ninth. But that's when
their old nemesis of giving up late-inning
runs came back to haunt them.

With two outs and a runner on. sopho-

more Austin Madison was pulled in favor
of reliever Jason Chaney. Chaney gave up
a double to Freeman and a run came in de-
spite a close play at the plate. Freeman
reached third on the play and a single
brought him in to round out the scoring.

L'K's loss comes on the heels of two
straight SEC series wins and Moore and
McGlone admit that the tight conference
race may still linger on their minds.

“That has a little to do with it." Moore
said. “Sometimes we underestimate our
mid-week opponents."

McGlone seconded that, but said they
need every win they can get.

“Weekends matter. we know that. but
we have to go out and win every game."
