Students to rally at Capitol for funding

By Becky Hail

IHE imucri (than

College students across
Kentucky will gather in
Frankfort on Wednesday to
rally for more funding for
higher education.

The theme of this year‘s
rally, sponsored by the Ken-
tucky Board of Student
Body Presidents, is “Invest
in us. Great minds. Great
debt."

The theme is meant to
draw attention to the many
students who are in a finan-
cial pinch due to student
loans and debt. said UK Stu-
dent Government President
Rachel Watts.

Of particular interest to
the group is a proposed $500
tax break for low-income
families with children in
college. she said. Watts said
the presidents think the tax
credit would help out those

who are hit hardest by tu-
ition and fee increases.

“We are also interested
in tax modernization as a
possibility to fund higher
education." she said. "We
hope to point out to the leg-
islature that funding for
higher education is a smart
investment for the Common
wealth."

Another aim is to re-
mind legislators that. while
they are concerned about

other issues. they need to in-
vest in higher education as
well. said Patti Johnson. stu-
dent body president at West-
ern Kentucky University.
“When they don't help us
out. we’re paying for it in
the end." Johnson said.
“The more students that
graduate from college in
Kentucky and then find jobs
in Kentucky. the better we
make the state of Kentucky"
She said the goal is to

Several decades ago.
William Scott was minding
his own business in UK‘s
Catholic Newman Center as
he watched a sporting event
on TV.

John Gaines a fellow
worshipper . plopped him-
self down on the floor next
to Scott.

“I said. ‘Are you Mr.
Gaines?” Scott remem-
bered. “As he shook my
hand, he said to me, ‘My
name is John.

”That shows what kind
of person he was." Scott
said.

Hundreds of people who
knew Gaines. including Gov.
Ernie Fletcher and his wife.
Glenna. gathered for visita-
tion hours last night at the
Newman Center to express
many of the same senti-
ments. Gaines a promi-

the age of 76.

“I have always heard

his great intellect." Farrell
said. “That says a great deal
about him."

Thomas Clark. a former

said he felt privileged to
know Gaines well enough to
address him by his first

"He was a stalwart of

UK to contract

No employees to be fired, director says

By Shannon Mason
IHE KENTUCKY mm

UK is contracting out its
snack vending machine ser-
vice to provide more selection
for students. UK dining ofﬁ.
cials said.

“The university is grow-
ing. and we want to provide
better service to the stu-
dents." said Jeff Demoss. di—
rector of dining services.

UK has contacted 13 vend-
ing companies to compete.
said Bill Harris. director of
purchasing. Proposals are due
Feb. 25. and UK plans to
award the contract in March.

Scott Henry. manager of
the food storage warehouse
and vending department. said
the forms provided the num-
ber and location of each of
the vending machines on
campus. as well as other in.
formation to let the vending
companies know the terms of
the request.

“The vendor will purchase
the machines that UK owns.
so it seems that the vendor
could assume the job immedi-
ater (after a deal is
processed).” Harris said. IIK

drink machines.

An estimate for new vend-
ing prices is not available at
this time. The contracting
change will not affect any jobs
at UK. Demoss said.

“That's the one promise I
made. that no one would lose
their job." he said.

Many of the employees
currently working in vending
have other skills. such as
cooking and baking. and
those skills will be put to use
in improving the service of
UK dining. Demoss said.

Switching to a different
company will allow that com-
pany to bring in new ma-
chines with a wider range of
products. These machines
may also be able to accept the
Plus Account as payment.
Demoss said.

“The technology for new
machines has surpassed us,"
he said.

Demoss also said that the
reasons behind the switch are
not ﬁnancial.

“It’s not to save money."
he said. "It's to provide the
students an increase in ser-
vices."

WASHINGTON For the
second time in two months. a
test of the national missile
defense system has failed.
Pentagon officials said Mon
day.

Military technicians be-
lieve the failure of the $83

By Thomas H. Mauqh ll

LOS ANGELES nuts ‘—

Vaccinating the elderly
against inﬂuenza is not as
effective as researchers
had previously believed.
government researchers
reported Monday.

Although previous
studies have suggested
that flu shots reduce mor-
tality among the elderly
by 50 percent to 80 per-
cent. a new study of three
decades of mortality data
indicates that widespread
use of the vaccine had not
been nearly that effective.
and may not have reduced
deaths among the elderly
at all.

Because of uncertain-
ties about the causes of
death among the elderly
and statistical vagaries.
“we could not rule out
some benefit from the vac-
cine. but it is less effica-
cious than we thought."
said epidemiologist Lone
Simonsen of the National
Institute of Allergy and
infectious Diseases. who
led the study. as reported
in the Archives of lnter~
nal Medicine.

“And we only looked at
deaths. not other compli-
cations."

During the period cov-
ered by the study. vaccina-
tion rates increased from
15 percent to 20 percent to
about 65 percent.

A second study in the

same journal. by re-
searchers from the
Netherlands. found that

vaccination was highly ef-
fective for younger people.
reducing deaths by 78 per-
cent and hospitalizations
for complications by 87
percent.

But researchers have
long known that people
older than 65 do not re-
spond as well to the flu

vaccine or to most oth-
er vaccines. for that mat-
ter.

Their immune systems
are simply not as effective
at generating antibodies
against the virus as those
of younger people.

Simonsen speculated
that the protective effect
of vaccination seen in
previous studies reﬂected
an unforeseen bias.

Several studies. she

noted. have shown that
the most seriously ill pa-
tients in hospitals and
nursing homes did not re-
ceive the vaccine. while
those who were healthier
did.
. When the sickest pa-
tients subsequently died.
the statistics made it ap-
pear that the vaccine was
successful at preventing
deaths.

lmmunizing the elder-
ly should continue. Si-
monsen said.

“We‘re not saying the
vaccine should not be giv-
en to the elderly. Even at
half the (protective) rate.
it's better than nothing."

Like many other ex-
perts. however. Simonsen
said the most effective
way to protect the elderly
was to vaccinate the peo~
ple who work around
them and to vaccinate
most schoolchildren. who
are the most prolific car»
riers of the disease.

Some studies have
shown. in fact. that vacci-
nating more than 70 per-
cent of schoolchildren
would eliminate the need
to vaccinate the elderly.

A spokesman for the
Centers for Disease Con-
trol and Prevention said
Monday that it was un-
likely the agency would
change its vaccine recom-
mendations based on only
one study.
