lERRQRAIflQME,

Anthrax fears turn to reality in 0.6.

Terror continues: New discoveries of anthrax
cause indefinite closings of some Senate offices

ASSOCIAIED PRfSS

WASHINGTON (AP) An en-
tire portion of a Senate office build—
ing where anthrax was discovered
last week will have to be sealed off
indefinitely. Senate Majority
Leader Tom Daschle said Thurs
day.

Daschle. D-S.D.. told reporters
that anthrax found Wednesday in a
new location in that same Hart of-
fice building was just a trace
amount. Doctors consider the dis-
covery to be relatively low risk and
have ordered no new tests of people
who may have been exposed to the
potentially deadly germs. Daschle
said.

Capitol police officials said the
new anthrax discovery was made
in a freight elevator area on the
first floor of the Hart building's
southwest quadrant. On Oct. 15. a
letter opened in Daschle‘s office in
that same building was found to
contain anthrax ~ leading to the
testing of more than 6000 people.
the shutdown of all of Congress‘ of-
fice buildings for inspections and
early adjournment last week by the
House and Senate.

Daschle said the entire south
east portion of the Hart building
would have to be sealed off. in effect
shutting down the main offices of a
dozen senators. The eight-story
building houses the offices of half
the Senate's 100 members.

Senators should be able to get
into the rest of the building some

time next week. Daschle said. But
no one will be allowed into the
southeast quadrant offices to re
trieve anything prior to sealing. he
said.

“I am very confident that we
will be able to seal it in a way that
will provide us complete confidence
that we can access the rest of the
building without any hazardous ex»
posure. And I think it is important
we get under way and get that job
done." he said

Daschle said he did not know
how the offices would be sealed off.
but it will require special material
because authorities have said the
anthrax spores in Daschle's letter
were barely more than a micron in
size and could slip through most
standard filters. There are 25.000
microns in an inch.

Doctors continued checking
Thursday for possible anthrax in a
woman who was in the Hart build-
ing. perhaps on the day the Daschle
letter was opened. said Mike Hall.
spokesman for Holy Cross Hospital
in Silver Spring, Md. where she is
being treated.

The 39~year~old woman works
for a television news service. Hall
said. If it is confirmed that she has
inhalation anthrax. she could be
the first person to have contracted
the disease inside the Capitol com-
plex.

Dr. John Eisold. the Capitol
physician. said Thursday. “I have
good reason to believe that this per-

son will turn out to be fine.“

Two of the three chief House of-
fice buildings the Rayburn and
Cannon buildings reopened
Thursday. following the reopening
of the Russell Senate Office Build-
ing on Wednesday

Daschle said he hoped that
Dirksen could be reopened Friday.
An anthrax-contaminated mail
room there was cleansed With an
antibacterial foam Wednesday
night and will be sealed off before
the rest of the building opens. he
said.

All six of Congress' main office
buildings were shuttered the
evening of Oct 17 for anthrax test-
ing. Even the House portion of the
Capitol was off-limits for several
days while tests were conducted.

Investigators still were trying
to determine how the anthrax got
to the freight elevator area of the
Hart building. Capitol Police Lt.
Dan Nichols said they are used to
carry mail ----- which could mean
that the bacteria came from the
Daschle letter.

The woman apparently was not
among the 28 people whose nasal
swab tests showed had been ex-
posed to anthrax. Authorities have
identified those 28 . out of more
than 5.000 people tested , as being
aides to Daschle and Sen. Russell
Feingold. D-Wis.. and police officers
who reported to Daschle's suite the
day the letter was opened. Fem-
gold's office is next to Daschle‘s.

traces of anthrax were found at the
mail facility » is expected to open

Sharpen your quills and start writing for fun

By_Ashley Ryan

communes WRITER

UK‘s Office of Undergraduate
Education is launching a scholarly
journal that is so new it doesn't
even have a name.

The journal is unique because
it is dedicated to the advancement
of UK undergraduate students.
said Robert Tannenbaum. associ-
ate director of undergraduate stud-
ies and editor of the new journal.

He said this type of scholarly
journal is one of only a few on col-
lege campuses,

“It is an opportunity to give
students a place to show off their
work and obtain the prestige of be-
ing published.“ Tannenbaum said.
“It is a chance to show to the com-
munity. UK and the world that
great things happen at the Univer-
sity of Kentucky."

An editorial board comprised
of faculty and students from all dif-
ferent disciplines will referee the
new journal.

Pieces sent to the undergradu‘
ate journal must have the support
of a faculty member who agrees
the work has the scholarly quality

needed for publication.

The journal will contain re-
ports and articles from all disci-
plines. It will illustrate the high
caliber of creativity and scholar-
ship that undergraduate students
have to offer. Tannenbaum said.

The journal will be published
annually in a printed form and as
a Web site. The Web site will also
include special pieces that cannot
be captured in print. such as a
dance recital or a piece of artwork,

“The journal hopes to benefit
students in all areas of scholarship
by giving students the chance to

have their work published." said
James Holmes. a professor of ac;
counting.

Holmes said the journal is
beneficial because it highlights
students' scholarly work.

Some examples of works to
submit are undergraduate honors
theses. Gaines Fellowship theses.
Oswald Research and Creativity
Program reports. intemship expe-
riences and research articles,
Tannenbaum said.

"UK is not all PhD ‘5. Under
graduates do research too." he
said.

to bring back the theater organ

The goal to reach sufficient

Brown said. The rebuilding and

take a year. but that does not
stop Brown from already envi-

"The plan is to have :1 four-

Brown said. "The first of these

 Asking for money

Plans stall
on memorial
for King

WASHINGTON -
Volunteers planning
a Martin Luther King
Jr. memorial on the
National Mall say
the project has
been stalled by a
demand for money
from the family of
the slain civrl rights
leader.

Harry Johnson,
president of the
memorial
foundation. said the
family is asking for
an undisclosed
amount of money to
use King's name and
likeness in the
project's marketing
campaign.

"They're asking for
something in
regards to a
licensing fee," said
Johnson, general
president of King’s
former fraternity,
Alpha Phi Alpha,
which Congress has
authorized to lead
the project. "We're
just trying to walk a
fine, thin line."

Last week, Johnson
called
representatives of
the King family to
ask about a specific
dollar figure. but he
said they haven't
returned his call.
Officials at the
Atlanta-based King
Center for
Nonviolent Social
Change also didn't
immediately return
calls Wednesday
from The Associated
Press.

Although Johnson said
delays are typical
for any memorial,
he said he knows of
no other time that
the family of the
person being
honored has asked
for money in return.

Trial against
tobacco 0K,
judge says

WHEELING, WVa. — A
judge Wednesday
rejected requests by
tobacco industry
lawyers to throw out a
lawsuit by West
Virginia smokers who
are seeking an
unprecedented
medical screening
program.

Ohio County Circuit Judge
Arthur Recht ruled
against a stack of
dismissal motions.
saying the recently
completed plaintiff's
case met the required
legal standards for the
case to proceed.

"There is sufficient
evidence to take this
case to the jury on all
issues,” Recht said.
"There are many
factual resolutions
that have to be made
by this jury
particularly in the area
of conduct. That's
going to be for the
jury to determine."

The defense will begin to
present its case
Thursday. Lawyers
plan to call about a
dozen witnesses over
three weeks.

The class-action lawsuit.
fried on behalf of some
250,000 West
Virginians, seeks the
creation of an
industry-funded
medical program that
would provide free
diagnostic tests for
healthy smokers. The
class members are
people who have
smoked the equivalent
of a pack a day for at
least five years. but
who are not yet sick.

It is the first medical
monitoring case of its
kind to go to trial in
the United States.

Columnist exaggerates in his description of ‘the Left’

What is up with the Right? What's with the march they had in downtown Lexing-
ton on Saturday" These consen ativ es think just because they have something to say.
every bod3 must listen How arrogant can you be‘ KKK. go home!

The Right 33 as at it again 33 ith .”lerry Falwell. He was pretty much saying that
Amer ica deser3 ed the attack on Sept. 11 because it is an immoral countr3 and God is
letting this happen because God doesn‘t love us anymore because we have too many h0-
mosexuals running around and blah blah blah. It‘s almost like the Right just looks for
something to be crazy about. The Right loves when they can say or do something to get
a little attention. They are just attention hounds.

Now before you try and seek me out and engage me in fisticuffs. I don‘t really be-
lieve these people really represent what sensible Republicans believe. You see. I made it
sound like a few extreme. outside fringe groups are somehow indicative of what the
Right is reall3 like I am exaggerating you know. like how columnist Clay McDaniel
likes to do in most of his articles. For example. he 33 rote about how a small school boar d
of se3 en people tried to stop the pledge of allegiance to the flag. It turns into a slam
against the entire Democratic Party. Somehow. seven people turned into the entire Left.

Give me a break. He uses the same old boring technique that has been used for
years. I wish he could at least be a little more original. Let me explain. He takes some
extreme group that is way outside the mainstream. and puts some label on them like
Liberal or Left. He makes it sound like the entire Democratic Party is a bunch of God-
hating. antiAmerican wackos.

If I really believed what I wrote about the entire Right being a bunch of racists. ho-
mophobic idiots because of a few misguided people. you would think that I am a small
minded person incapable of forming a legitimate argument. And I would be. if I be-
lieved it.

Death becomes the Klan,
but foes won't let it die

History‘s reversals have always pleased me. How ironic that the Ku Klux Klan. once a thriving beast.
has beconre nothing more than a surface nuisance sustained only through life support.

But for some reason the enemies of the Klan refuse to pull the plug and let this dying movement
bury itself.

Saturday's Klan rally on the courthouse steps was the first of its kind in Lexington in 50 years. Six
Klansmen showed up to peddle their boring rhetoric to a raging throng of seven. count ‘em. seven support-
ers. (Hey. don‘t get discouraged guys. I‘m sure that if the UK football game hadn't been televised. the turnout
would have been a lot better.)

The Klansrnen were outnumbered nearly 30 to one by protesters. It's definitely encouraging that a
few generations ago those numbers would have been reversed. The 300 demonstrators who thought
they were showing the good ol‘ boys how truly obsolete they‘ve become instead gave them a reason to
continue ex15ting.

While I can‘t emphasize my solidarity with the cause of the protesters enough. I feel that they made an
awful mistake by showing up at the courthouse last Saturday. 83' waving their signs and shouting their
catchy slogans they allowed these six insignificant pests to have an impact. which is all they truly wanted.

The protesters would have done their cause a much greater service had they stayed at home. or gone to
a movie or done anything else they would have normally occupied themselves with on a beautiful Saturday
afternoon. They should have shown these men how meaningless they are by saying. “We won't let you affect
us because you aren‘t important."

Public protest is an important part of American history. It's a strategy that has helped right many
wrongs in this country.

It was appropriate when our country was denying equal rights and protections to blacks in the ‘505
and ‘60s. when our government didn't allow children of color to seek the same educational paths
as white children.

It was appropriate when Women were denied the right to vote for the leaders who created the policies
that affected them.

It was appropriate when corporate monsters were abusing men throughout the country. when a work
week consisted of seven days and at least 12 hours a day. or when wages were so low families couldn‘t afford
to eat and ”employee benefits" were a non-existent concept.

Sixty years ago when thousands of Klansmen ran rampant through the country terrorizing. lynching
and murdering blacks. often with back-door government support. public protest was appropriate. Today.
when the Klan is nothing more than a joke. it‘s counterproductive.

This country has come a long way since the postrreconstruction era. and the near total decimation of the
Klan is evidence We need to take the final step toward wiping out the pesky shards of their ideology by tak-
ing to heart a small piece of advice nearly all our mothers gave us in regards to dealing with a bully.

Just ignore them.

When intervrewcd at the Klan rally. 3 black student from Transylvania University said the event
demonstrated that "wr- how a long way to go as a country and a community."

I totally agree

However. I have a different idea of what the problem is The Klan‘s status in America today is
proof of the strides we've made Six morons on the steps of the courthouse. while a definite irritation.
are not a threat. The problem is the people who continue placating the egos of such men by making
them feel influential

If the hooded crusaders ever make their way back into town. leave them without an audience. brooding
among themselves. shouting to no one about nothing.
