Course to combat
sexual harassment

By Dustyn Bowman
TNE KENTUCKY KERNEL

UK is offering an online course
on sexual harassment prevention
to students. faculty and staff.

“The purpose is to further edu-
cate employees and students about
the laws relating to sexual harass-
ment and the university's policy of
zero tolerance, and to provide a
distributed learning tool that will
reach as many university employ-
ees and students as possible." said
Patrice Carroll. manager for hu-
man resource training and devel-
opment.

The Equal Opportunity Office.
the President's Commission on
Women and the Office of Human
Resource Development are offer-
ing the free. online course.

There is no registration or sign
up required—Carroll said.

The course consists of reading
material on sexual harassment fol-
lowed by a 15-question test.

It takes approximately 60 min-
utes to complete.

If a score of 80 percent or
above is achieved. the person‘s
name is reported to the Equal Op
portunity Office. and he or she re-
ceives a certificate of completion.

The test can be taken until a
score of 80 percent is reached. and
it will have a different set of ques-
tions every time.

The course can be accessed at the
Equal Opportunity Office Web site at
www.uky.edu/EVPFA/EEO/ or on the Pres-
ident's Commission on Women's Web site

The School of Public Health re
quires a course on sexual harass-
ment for its master's degree pro
gram. and the deans of other col-
leges are exploring the options of
requiring it as well. said Patty
Bender. assistant vice president of
the Equal Opportunity Office.

“This is a great way for stu-
dents to understand workplace ex-
pectations beyond their area of
study." she said.

Students said they hope the
course will make people aware of
what sexual harassment is.

“Everybody should have some
overview of sexual harassment in
order to distinguish behavior that
is out of line." said Lynette

”They should know what is right.
what is wrong and what their
rights are."

 Bin Laden aide warns US. to alter policies

By Crdq Whitloci
MWWt

BERLIN Al-Qaida's chief ideo-
logue said in a videotape broadcast on
Arab television yesterday that the United
States needed to change its policies to
ward Islamic countries or “we, will Con-
tinue fighting you until the last hour."

The statement was the third issued
since September by Ayman Zawahiri. an
Egyptian physician and the top deputy to
al-Qaida leader ()sama bin Laden.

It was aired on aldazeera. the Arab
satellite television network. one month
afier bin Laden delivered a similar video
message four days before the l‘.S. presi-
dential election.

Zawahiri‘s message contained refer
ences that suggested it was recorded
some time ago.

In one excerpt shown on al—Jazeera.
Zawahiri warned Americans that it did
not matter who they chose as president.

”Vote for whoever yott want: Bush or
Kerry or the devil himself." he said on
the tape. echoing a liiie from bin laden's
pre-election speech. "This does not con-
cern us. Our concern is to purify our
countries frotn aggressors and to stand
tip to whoever attacks us."

Al-Jazeera did not disclose how it ac
quired the video.

Although they have been in hiding
since al-Qaida carried out the Sept ll.
2001. attacks on the l'ntted States. [it

wahiri and bin Laden have become more
vocal in recent months. releasing eight
other audio and video tapes this year
twice as many as in am.

"Just the fact that we've heard from
the both of them in such a short period
of time that in itself is significant."
said Bruce Hoffman. a terrorism re-
searcher and director of the Washington
office of the Rand Corp. "They are going
out of their way to make their presence
known

"They are trying to behave as if they
are not being hunted or harassed around
the World."

Wearing glasses and a white turban.
Zaw'ahiri could be seen in the video sit-
ting in front of a light-brown back:
ground with a blanket draped over his
shoulder.

A gun was propped next to him. The
backdrop was similar to one used by Za-
wahiri in a video that al-Jazeera broad-
cast on Sept. 9. just before the third an-
niversary of the attacks on the World
Trade (‘enter atid the Pentagon.

Zawahiri addressed his comments to
the American people and said he wanted
to give them "one last advice" on their
dealings with the Muslim World.

“You must choose between two tneth
ods in dealing with Muslims." he said.
"(‘ooperate with them based on mutual
respect and interests. or deal with them
as if they are spoils of war. This is yottr

problem. and you must choose. And you
should know that we are a nation of pa-
tience. and we win continue fighting you
until the last hour."

He made references to the US-spon-
sored elections held in Afghanistan last
month and those scheduled for January
in Iraq. as well as to the presidential con»
test between Bush and Kerry

"These days America is playing the
election game in the United States.
Afghanistan and Iraq." Zawahiri said.
“As for the American elections. the two
candidates aie competing to win the sat-
isfaction of Israel.”

Zawahiri has served as bin Laden's
top deputy and ideological adviser for
nearly a decade.

While his past speeches have been
filled with quotations from the Koran.
the excerpts broadcast yesterday were
notable for their lack of religious im-
agery

Bin Laden took the same approach in
his video last month.

“They don‘t want any ambiguity."
Hoffman said. “Both messages are re-
markably clear and to the point. They
are stripped of the floweiy rhetoric."

bin Laden are both believed to be some

Riflfl‘cord-setting blocker Dewalt set to try basketball

By Ben Roberts
mfxtutucxr iiiimn

UK fans who enjoyed
watching Lonnell [)ewalt
block field goals and extra
points for the Cats this year
may not have to wait for
next football season to see
him return to action.

The 6-foot-6. 220—pound
freshman. who played wide
receiver and on special
teams for the football team
this season. went through
his first basketball evalua-
tion yesterday

UK head coach Tubby
Smith said Dewalt would not
practice with the team. but
would participate in an indi—
vidual workout for the

coaching staff.

"We're going to evaluate
him anti see if he can help
us anti if we can help him."
Smith said.

Dewalt averaged 11.6
points and 11.9 rebounds per
game and was named First
Team All-State in his senior
season at Warren Central
High School. He is currently
on scholarship with the foot—
ball team and made 11 catch-
es for 122 yards and one
touchdown this season.

Dewalt also blocked sev-
en kicks a school record

including two in Satur-
day's 37-31 loss at Tennessee.

Smith said the jumping
ability Dewalt showed in
blocking kicks could possi-

 

bly transfer to the basketball
court.

“For him to be able to
jump like that on the foot
ball field is unbelievable."
Smith said. “Will that trans
late to the hardwood court‘.’
We'll see.“

"He never wanted to
shoot the ball." Hayes said.
“He didn‘t want to score. He
just wanted to get rebounds.
I guess that's why they call
him Worm 7 he plays like
Dennis Rodman."

Hayes added that De-
walt's approach to the game
would fit in well with

 

Smith's team-first system.

And while Smith is open
to the idea of adding Dewalt
to his roster. he stressed that
playing basketball for UK is
a commitment the freshman
may not have the time to
make.

“That's a lot to ask from
a young man especially a
freshman when he has so
many other things to do. in
the classroom and from a
football standpoint." Smith
said.

“How many times do you
see (two-sport players) in
college sports. especially at
this level? You just don't see
it."

was very special. There are a lot of peo-
ple that don't get that chance."

The national championship was a
pinnacle in the careers of both Sutton
and Smith. whose paths always seemed
to intertwine as the two moved from
place to place.

The coaches first worked together in
1979 at Hoke County High School in
Raeford. NC. Smith was the head coach
at the school and hired Sutton to be one
of his assistants.

Sutton still remembers all of the ex-
tra duties the two performed while
coaching at Hoke (‘ounty

“I can remember Tubby coaching
three different sports and teaching
classes at the school." he said. “We all
had to do little things here and there.
pull bus duty. set up the gym. stuff like
that."

Their careers would eventually
leave the borders of Hoke (‘ounty and
take them on a journey with coaching
opportunities together at Virginia (‘om-
monwealth. Tulsa. Georgia and finally
UK.

Sutton recalled fondly lYK's fans.
even if he didn't always see eye to eye
with them.

“It's the greatest place in college

basketball because the fans love Ken-
tucky basketball and they have such
high expectations." he said. “They're
hard on you sometimes but that just
shows how much they care."

Despite leaving the Cats for
Cookeville. Tenn. three years ago. Sut-
ton still has plenty of contacts left at
UK.

In addition to Smith. he coached
alongside current assistants David
Hobbs and Reggie Hanson. and had a
hand in recruiting several players on
UK’s roster.

Senior forward Chuck Hayes was re-
cruited by Sutton out of high school
and recalled his old coach as a "real
nice guy" who was always willing to
help out.

Hayes. who scored 13 points and
grabbed 13 rebounds n UK‘s 108-81 win
over the Golden Eagles last season. said
he is looking forward to playing against
Sutton one more time.

"We know what he‘s going to do and
he knows what we're going to do."
Hayes said. “It's nothing new to either
oneof us.

“But it‘s always kind of funny in a
way seeing how they defend you."

Sutton Won't be alone in trying to
find a way to shut down Hayes in the

paint. This season he‘ll have the help of

another familiar face with some inside
information.

Former UK point guard Saul Smith.
who played for the (fats frotn 1997 to

2001 and was coached by Sutton for his
entire playing career in Lexington. will
make his return to Rupp Arena tonight
as a first-year assistant with the Golden
Eagles.

When Sutton heard the UK head
coach‘s son wanted to be a coach him-
self. he jumped at the opportunity to
add him to his staff.

”I always thought Saul would be an
outstanding coach if that‘s what he
wanted to do." Sutton said. “So when he
decided that’s what he wanted. it was a
no-brainer."

Smith's duties at Tennessee Tech in-
clude on-court instruction in practice
and games. recruiting and monitoring
study halls for the players.

In bringing the younger Smith
along. Sutton is instilling some of the
concepts he learned from Saul‘s father.

“()ne of the things I learned from

Tubby is if someone is on your staff

you have to give them some responsibil—
ity.“ Sutton said. “And by doing that.
you learn a lot of things. That's what he
is expected to do. and that's what he is
doing."

Smith's father said the young coach
couldn't have a better mentor.

“He's working for somebody who I
respect 1 lot." Smith said. "Mike Sutton
has been like a brother to me over the
years. He couldn't be in better hands.
He couldn't learn from anybody better."
