Imagine leavin your home
town, your fami y and your
country and going to live
somewhere overseas, havin
to adjust to different food:
weather, customs and a whole
different culture.

Imagine emerging ourself
into a strange worl where
everybody seems to know
each other, but 'ou don’t
know anybody. T at's what
many of the international stu—
dents at UK have had to face:
A total readjustment to life.

Lily Arasaratnam knows
the transition well.

“I felt a lot out of place
when I came here," said
Arasaratnam, a graduate stu—
dent and communications
major from Sri Lanka I felt
like eople already had a group
of riends established, so I

found it really hard to make
friends," she said.

After growing up partly in
Sri Lanka and partly in the
Maldives, formerly the Mal—
dive Islands, Lily went two
years of her undergraduate at
the Institute of Technological
Studies in Sri Lanka and then
came to UK, where she com-
pleted the last two years of her
undergraduate work.

She received a bachelor's
degree in psychology and now
works as a teaching assistant.
Her days at UK are somewhat
routine but always busy.

Lily’s typical Thursday
begins with teaching an 8 am.
Calculus l 13 class. As they file
into the classroom, Lily affec—
tionately greets her students
by name. The class is rather
small with an upbeat atmo—
sphere, and, although it’s
early in the morning, the stu-
dents seem attentive to what
Lily says.

Students dealing with adju

She begins the class with
questions about the homework.

“Two, 12, 18,” various
voices shout, referring to
numbers of certain homework
problems. Lily proceeds to
explain the problems and takes
other questions.

She dismisses the class at
9:15 am. and goes back to her
office to prepare for the next
class. At 10 a.m. she checks her
e-mail and grabs something to
eat before teaching another
Calculus 113 at 11 am. She
attends a statistics class, I'idus
cational and Counseling Psy-
chology 557, at 12:30 p.m.

After her office hours, froin
2:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m., she
goes to the computer lab to do
some research for her classes.
She winds down by meeting
with a close friend at 5 p.m. to
pray and talk.

“At six o‘clock, I go home,"
Lily said with relief.

IIISIQIII into abuse

New approach
makes the abuser
more accountable

By Ellen Lord
Staff IVn'ter

Brian Jory‘s Intimate Jus-
tice Theory has touched the
hearts of abusive men around
the country.

Jory, an assistant professor of
family studies and acting direc-
tor of UK’s Family Center,
developed a new ap roach for
treatin men who atter and
psycho ogically abuse women.

“Brian has created a model
for working with the couple
that challenges common ideas
that the woman plays a major

art in her abuse,” said
Kdichele Bogard, a Boston
psychotherapist whose work
on violence issues has been

published widely.

“He also is not victimizing
or demonizing the m‘n but is

 

 

 

working with him to strength-
en the relationship and his
responsibility as a husband,"
Bogard said.

As a therapist, “you're
taught to be neutral, objective,"
Jo ' said, but when dealing
wiIfIi abusive situations, “the
therapist must take a stand.

“Intimate Justice Theory
gives the therapist some solid
ground on which to challenge
or confront an abusive tnan,
something other than sayin
‘What you're doing is wrong‘,
Jo said in a news release.

r2I‘o give therapists a coun-
seling structure, Jory studied
the ethics ofintimacy. In 1995
he began to appl intimacy
ethics to therapy. Ie and his
colleagues spent hours inter~
viewing subjects in abusive
relationships and worked with
30 couples developing tech-
niques and specific approach-
es or nearly two years.

found the Intimate Justice
Therapy “surprisingly effec-

Students
don't show

. I.\\l\lillll New l'iilitto'

:\bout 30 students stood on the wet sidewalk in
front of Memorial (ioliseum at 75‘) am. yesterday,

Fifty students waited eagerly for the doors to
open to L'K's first basketball ticket lottery of the
season. l‘iifty students stood whcrc thousands ILH c
before on frozen days.

“It was not a good start to say the least." said
Rodney Stiles, director of ;\duiinistrative Services
for the UK Athletics \ssociation.

It was not a good start for students hoping to
ret back their original allotment ofstudcnt tickets.
he said. It was not a good start in what appears to
be a continuous decrease in student ticket interest,

“I hope they start coming." Stiles said. “I don‘t
want to see thctn lose their tickets."

But, Stiles added. the lottery was for what
will probably be the three least interesting
games of the season ~ (Iourt Authority on
'l‘uesd'ay, Nov. 11 at 7:“) p.m., the Australian
National Team on 'l‘uesday, Nov. 18 at 8 p.m.
and .\lorehead State L‘nnersity on Thursday.
Nov. 20 at ti p.m. '

The ticket window opens at ‘9 a.m.. and guest
tickets go on sale on Tuesday morning at 9.

Another explanation for the small ttirnout at
the lottery is that L'K hasn‘t had lotteries for the
exhibition games. Stiles said. Instead. students
bottght exhibition game tickets at the .\lcmorial
(joliseum window.

Because the Mort-head State game \\ as close to
the Australia game, L'K held a student ticket lot—
tcry for all three games, he said.

Most of the about SUI) tickets that were sold by
last night were for the Morehead State game.
Stiles said. Seats are available in rows ll andJ of
section 32 for the exhibition games. ’l‘ickcts also
remain in the lower arena for the .\lorehead State
game.

“Students can probably buy as many tickets as
they want to." Stiles said before warning if stu«
dent ticket purchases don’t increase, then the [K
Ticket Committee may have to decrease the stu~
dent allotment again.

“'hen Libby Barnes walks down the street and
sees a piece ofjunk, she sees art.

In an art exhibition opening today at the Rasdall
Gallery in the Student (Zenter. Barnes will show
that ordinary junk is the key to a masterpiece.

The exhibition, titled Mixed Alcdttatlom, is fttll
of everyday items that, coupled with artistic
designs and a pallet of colors, have been turned
into extraordinary pieces of artwork to show
Barnes' penchant for death and the environment.

Barnes, who is putting on the expo as the final
step in her Master of Fine Arts program, said the
pieces reflect both the positive and negative
events that have filled her life.

“I have had a lot of death in my life, bill that is
what motivates my work," she said. “I use the art to
keep personal memories of those loved ones alive."

In many pieces she will display, many have spc~
cial meaning to Barnes. One piece includes sever—
al small and decorative jewelry bags that contain
something frotn Barnes' past, such as wisdom
teeth and other significant items.

While these pieces of jewelry and artwork have
special meaning to Barnes, she wants people who
see her show to connect with the works.

“Each piece is very personal and has a special
connection with me," Barnes said. “btit some pieces
were designed to be interactive with the viewers.“

Although Barnes' work is diverse and draws
upon a multitude of both artistic and environ-
mental aspects, one characteristic seems to stand
out. Many of the pieces incorporate what looks
like a stained— lass window design, using a variety
of colors in wi d and eccentric patterns.

Much of the work in this ex ibition was crafted
within the last two years, but it is really a culmina-
tion of years of work that has evolved.

“This show is filled with my more recent
work,” Barnes said. “I started out working with
children and people in asylums, then moved
through a feminist period. But this show is really
the fruit of my searches and enshrines special
presences within my life.”
