Changing
the rules
around

The best selling book
"The Rules" gave women
some gurdelines when it
comes to pursuing
relationships with men.
The book was written by
two women, which begs
the question: What would
"The Rules" be like if
men wrote them?

l. Anything we said six
or eight months ago is
inadmissable in an
argument. All comments
become null and void
after seven days.

2. If you don‘t want to
dress like Victoria's
Secret girls, don't
expect us to act like
soap opera guys.

3. If we say something
that can be interpreted
in two ways, and one of
the ways makes you sad
or angry, we meant it
the other way.

4. It is in neither your
best interest nor ours
for us to take those
stupid Cosmo quizzes
together.

5. Let us ogle. If we
don't look at other
women, how can we
know how pretty you
really are?

6. You can either ask us
to do something or tell
us how you want it done
- not both.

7. Whenever possible,
please say what you
have to say during
commercials.

8. Christopher Columbus
didn't need directions -
and neither do we.

9. Women who wear
Wonderbras and low-cut
blouses lose their right
to complain about having
us stare at their chest.

10. When we're turning
the steering wheel and
the car is nosing onto
the off ramp, you saying
"This is our exit" is not
necessary.

ll. Don't take it. We'd
rather be ineffective
than deceived.

enrules.html

Here are some more
favorites:

- If we're going out to
eat, tell me where you'd
like to go. Don't just say,
"I don't care," and then
reject all of my
suggestions.

— We really do want to
share our lives with you,
but that doesn’t include
the remote control.

— If we say that we're
going to do something,
asking us 27 times if
we've started doing it
yet isn't likely to speed
up the process any.

Students at UK hold benefit sale to help victims of Turkey's earthquake to recover

By Jennifer Caldwell
STAFF WRITER

Although millions of miles away
from the victims they are aiding, a group
of UK students acts as though there is no
distance too far to lend a hand.

The Turkish Student Association has
assembled to help raise $3000 already tio
beneﬁt victims of devastating earthquake
that struck western Turkey in the early
morning hours on Aug. 17. The earth-
quake measured 7.4 on the Richter scale
and was centered near the city of Izmit,
only 60 miles east of Istanbul.

The association contacted the Blue-
grass Division of the American Red Cross
to see what they could do to help, said Yu-
cel Bozdaglioglu. vice president for the
association. The members then met to
discuss ideas to drum up awareness and
help for the victims.

Among those ideas were plans for a
yard sale at the Hunter Presbyterian
Church. donation boxes set up on campus
and a Turkish night.

“We put up a lot of fliers.“ Bozdagli-
oglu said. “The church also helped us."

The association set up a booth at the
Student Center on Thursday and Friday
to hand out information about Turkey
and the earthquake and to accept dona-
tions for the American Red Cross efforts
in Turkey.

questions and accepting donations.

According to 'l‘arhan. the Turkish
Student Association first started to dis-
band two years ago when most of its
members completed their studies and
moved on to different areas. The associa-
tion was started back up in response to
the need left by the earthquake.

The donation boxes are being moved
around campus and are scheduled to be
placed on the LCC campus around Tues-
day said Hasan Zeytin. president of the
Turkish Student Association.

Sandy Akay, a staff assistant in the
Animal Science Department. got involved
in helping through her husband, Veysel
Akay. the treasurer for the Turkish Stu-
dent Association. She helped the associa-
tion by putting out American Red Cross
donation boxes on the different floors of
the Garrigus Building. She managed to
collect over $250 from the staff and facul-
ty of the Animal Science Department
alone.

The yard sale raised around $2.500.
Other donations amounted to $450 before
the sale even started. It was held in the
parking lot of the Hunter Presbyterian
Church on Nicholasville Road. Among
the many items donated were a pair of
skis, bicycles. chests. clothes. books. and
toys.

“We did very well," Zeytin said. “Lex-
ington has helped us a lot."

Bozdaglioglu agreed.

“It has been a tremendous response
from the public." he said.

Although the association members

“A Woman's

are attending school at UK. the quake
still hit pretty close to home. Some of the
members grew up in the region where the
earthquakes epicenter was located and
still have family living near there.

Veysel Akay lived 20 miles north of

Izmit. one of the hardest hit cities. and
went to high school in the city. Currently
Working on his PhD. in the Animal Sci-
ence Department. Akay made regular
trips back to his home during the sum-
mer to visit relatives.

The Turkish Student Association is
not the only group working to increase
public awareness and support of the
earthquake victims.

George Lewis in the Public Relations
Department at UK has been spreading
awareness. too.

“(I‘m) helping the folks get the word
out." Lewis said.

Lewis wrote an article for UK‘s home-
page and contacted the local media about
the association‘s quake efforts.

The Turkish Student Association
has more events planned for the future to
educate others on the country of Turkey.
its culture and future. A Turkish night
has been set for Sept. 11 at the Worsham
Theater and will include music. food and
a slide show.

The American Red Cross and the
Turkish Student Association will still ac-
cept donations. For more information.

tion or call the American Red Cross at

Y2K®UK?: ResNet services

ResNet computer services has called it-
self the "campus connection to the world "
.\l:in_\ I'K students. however. are finding it
hard to get connected to the network. much

“Once they get it working. I‘m sure

limily Rigdon. a chemical engineering and

fails.

Nzijziti "Nookie" Imam. a computer sci
l‘Ilt e sophomore who liycs in i’ziIIt‘l‘SUll

that for residents in those two dorms. the
Ethernet connections are disappointing

lioyd and Patterson had been cqiupped
with direct-line l'ltlicrnet connections.
which ran at about 10 times the speed of
current cable modems. Imam explained.
However. when l'lx' reached an agreement
with Intcrmcdiu to install cable modems.
thc directlinc connections were replaced.

“l’or the rest of czimpUs that didn't

Not all students are unhappy with the

said that his connection works. and that he
really enjoys it.

“It's really fast." noted Landrum.
adding that he liked to use the Ethernet
connection to download music files from
the Internet.

There could be a number of reasons for
the problems ResNet users experience. said
.I.W. Mills. ResNet consultant superyisor.

“(‘omputers are misunderstood crea
tures." Mills said. He explained that any
given computer can have different operat
ing systems and different components. and
that there is no set pattern to setting up
systems to accommodate ResNet.

Marc .Jaygoe. a business management
freshman and ResNet consultant. added
that in some cases. students‘ problems have
actually been caused by malfunctions in
the equipment that lntermcdia has in»
stalled This has been especially true in
both Keencland and Jewel] halls. he said.

Despite the difficulties that they have
encountered. Mills remains confident he
and his staff will be able to accomplish the
task placed before them.

“There‘s nothing we can‘t do with a lit-

If you‘re a woman and

Linda Hirshman. a professor

book surveyed the school during
an abnormally low female enroll-

“It‘s ironic that this class
ranking came during a class
year in which our percentage of
women students was abnormally
low.“ he said.

Law students are happier
with a high percentage of stu-
dent-faculty diversity. Hirshman

faction." she said.

Students feel that the in-
creased numbers of women help
to paint a truer picture of soci-
ety. and help break down more
traditional stereotypes of gender
roles.

“Women are becoming more
dominant in the work force. and
that's a great thing." said Lisa
Hayden. a second-year law stu-
dent.

“The numbers of women stu.
dents and faculty are impor-

forts of the faculty to create an
environment in which all stu-
dents can thrive."
