”EWING WHAT "I WEAR The pharmacy Student Activities Council

discusses a new dress code for students in the college yesterday.

By Jason Dattllo
Staff Writer

After some revision, the con-
troversial dress code for pharma-
cy students was unanimously
approved yesterday by the col—
lege’s Student Advisory Council.

The vote came one week after
the council tabled the issue for
further discussion.

SAC member Craig Wells
coordinated the revision process
that included all board members
and some harmacy students.
The proposal) passed 15-0.

“It was supposedly a represen—
tation of all the classes and orga—
nizations in the colle e,” said
Dwaine Green, SAC 5 faculty
adviser. “This sends a pretty
strong statement, and I think the
students will support what their
representation agreed on.”

WEATHER Today, partly

sunny, high near 80; tonight,
partly cloudy, low in 50s; tomor-
row, partly sunny, high near 80.
“VERSIONS Margaret Cho stars in new
ABC family sitcom VIII-American Girl.”
Review, Page 4 I,

Yesterday’s vote, however, is
not the ﬁnal stop for the dress
proposal. College of Pharma
Dean Jordan Cohen must stil
approve the council’s revisions
and present them
to the faculty.

The council’s
only revisions
were to allow hats
in the pharmacy
building except
during scheduled
exams and to
apply the code to
all undergraduate
and graduate students.

Assuming the code is approved
by the administration, it would
not go into effect until at least the
beginning of the spring semester.

Student reaction to the yester—
day’s vote was mixed. Fifth-year
pharmacy student Stan Parker

Wells

said the proposal will violate his
personal freedom and level of
comfort in class.

“I just don’t think there ought
to be a dress code,” Parker said.
. “We already have
to dress up for
labs to demon—
strate profession-
al behavior. You
ought to be able
to go to class in
street clothes so
you can relax.”

Jack Joseph,
another ﬁfth—year
student, said the administration's
motive for establishing a dress
code is questionable.

“This is a matter of what (the
administration’s) motivation is,"
Joseph said. “(The administra—
tion) feels that we should act and
look professional, and that’s true.

But why do we need a dress code
to do that?”

Eric Atwell took a positive
stance on the proposal. Atwell
said the new policy will not
change the manner of dress
among most pharmacy students.

“I don’t think this code will
really have an effect on me,"
Atwell said. “This is probably
what most students wear anyway.
Everything got blown out of pro-
portion.”

The College of Pharmacy is
the ﬁrst of the UK medical col-
leges to propose a dress code for
students in a classroom setting.

“In the cases of the other col—
leges, the code only applies pri-
marily to students who come in
contact with patients,” Green
said. “\Ve are just taking things
one step further."

Lexington’s Fayette—Urban
County Council -- the last stop
on the UK administration’s quest
for money to build a new library
— seems ready and waiting to
pass the project’s bond issue.

“We’re ready as soon as they

et rolling,” Lexington Mayor
Pam Miller said yesterday.

UK rolled one step closer yes-
terday when the Board of
Trustees gave unanimous
approval for a new funding plan.

Before UK President C arles
Wethin on meets the council,
UK At letic Association must
approve the funding Ian at its
next meeting on Sept. 8.

The ci 5 role in the funding
plan that ows throu h the rev-
enue banks of the Alumni
and Athletics associations will be
to sell $41 million worth of
bonds to pay for the library’s
construction.

University ofﬁcials will meet
the council as soon as possible
after the Athletic Association
lends its support, Wethington

Urban-County Council ‘ready’

said.

“I’m sure that the city council
will now enthusiastically support
this project,” Lexington Council—
man Jack Hillard said. “I think
this is pretty much a done deal.”

However, he and three other
councilmen —— Chuck Ellinger,
Richard B. Stevens and George
Brown — will dismiss themselves
from a ﬁnal vote because they are
all UK employees.

Hillard, who is executive
director of UK’s Center on
Aging Foundation, said even
without'the foursome’s sup ort,
the lan should have no trou le.

Earlier, on Aug. 30, the coun-
cil gave its full endorsement of
the library on the one condition
that the city will not risk “one
penny” b issuing the bonds,
Miller sai .

Wethington assured the city’s
bond issue will be backed com-
pletely by a flow a revenue ($3
million each year) from the Uni-
versity.

“It was very clear from all of
the attorneys and all of the
ex rts that the city would not be
leftxliable,” Miller said.

UK's Cosmopolitan Club is comprised of
just that —« students from all over the world.
The UK organization was formed in 1965 by a
group of Lebanese students as a forum to dis—

cuss topics and issues.

It has evolved into a cultural gathering for
UK international students Martin Boseman, a
geography graduate student and faculty adviser
for the club calls it, “a gathering place where
international students can escape the isolation
that they sometimes feel —— alone on a new

campus.”

The club currently has about 60 members,
but recruiting techniques have already been
discussed at meetings, Boseman said.

This is a hindrance considering
the club’s goal, which is “to provide
an environment for UK ‘citizens of

diverse,” Boseman said.

Stephen Branham, an unde-
clared freshman from Floyd Coun—

take advantage of the club are missing out.

“Being exposed to different cultures is an

Carter's help crucial but not cheap

By Ron Fournier
Associated Pratt

WASHINGTON — If he
didn’t learn the lesson in North
Korea, President Clinton knows
now that Jimmy Carter's help
comes with a price.

Hours after Closing a deal to
avert a military invasion of Haiti,
the former president broadsided
Clinton with criticism of his Haiti
policy and launched a publicity
campaign from, of all places, the
Lincoln bedroom.

Carter opposed an invasion. He
opposed an embargo. He opposed
driving fallen dictators from Haiti.
He opposed nearly every aspect of
the president's work in Haiti, a
senior Clinton aide said, except
the decision to let Carter try to
make peace.

And even that wasn’t handled
right, the former president said.

He accused Clinton of nearly
scuttling peace talks by deploying
an invasion force while negotia—
tions were still under way. “l/Vhat
we had worked on to accomplish
was about to come apart,” Carter
told CNN in an interview he
arranged from the historic White
House bedroom, moments after
returning from Haiti.

The administration obviously
disagreed. Clinton‘s foreign policy
team insisted that an imminent
threat of war was what pushed

military leader Lt. Gen. Raoul
Cedras to close the deal. The
agreement has drawn criticism
from lawmakers who think Clin-
ton, eager to avoid violence, went
too easy on the junta.

Carter, whose global trou—
bleshootin is ecli sing memories
of a vexef presidbncy, said the
White House should not be sur-
prised by his objections.

“Well, I‘ve expressed my criti—
cism publicly,” Carter said yester—
day. Referring to two other mem-
bers of the negotiating team,
retired .Gen. Colin Powell and
Sen. Sam Nunn, the former presi—
dent added: “All three of us have
expressed our concern about the
embargo, which was affecting pri—
marily very poor people in the
country.”

Clinton publicly heaped praise
on Carter, and White House ofﬁ—
cials marveled at his eagerness to
hopscotch the globe and make
peace. He was at it again yester-
day, meeting privately in Atlanta
with ambassadors from North and
South Korea.

Carter's energetic efforts make
it easier to forgive stubbornness,
frankness and an a arent hunger
for the spotlight, officials said, pri-
vately.

“The wonderful thing is that,
working from differing perspec-
tives, we achieved a terrific result,”
a senior White House official,

speaking on condition of
anonymity, told reporters.

But many Clinton advisers had
a hard time containing themselves
when Carter returned from the
mission and criticized the White
House. Press secretary Dee Dee
Myers was asked yesterday about
Carter’s opposition to the embar—

0.
“President Carter may have a
different View of that,” she said
ﬂatly. “It’s certainly his ri ht.”

Aides bristled when fie made
the wee—hour arrangements with
CNN, before Clinton’s news con—
ference the next morning. Some
questioned whether be exceeded
his mandate in negotiating with
the military leaders. Others said
he sounded naive and ious.

The same complaints were
heard from an otherwise grateful
White House when Carter inter-
ceded in June to defuse the North
Korean crisis.

He returned from that trip to
rip the Clinton administration and
its “so—called experts” who pre—
dicted North Korea would buckle
under the threat of sanctions.
Same in Haiti. He said sanctions
are hurting the Caribbean nation’s
poor and made him “ashamed of
my country’s policy.”

He thrust himself into the
North Korean crisis, appealing to
Clinton after the State Depart-
ment rebuffed him. Same in Haiti.

He did not wait for Clinton’s
ap roval on the mission before
tal 'ng to Cedras by telephone
and asking Powell and Nunn to
join him.

He chastised the administration
for not talking to North Korean
leaders. Same in Haiti. “This
inability to communicate between
our two countries iS a very serious
problem that might result in diff -
culties that are almost insur-
mountable,” he said.

Clinton is said to be bothered
by Carter’s criticism over Haiti,
but not nearly as annoyed as he
was when Carter appeared to mis—
state US policy during the Kore—
an negotiations. This time, the

resident tried to keep a shorter
liaash on Carter — closely moni—
toring the talks by telephone.

In a telephone conversation
with Cedras, Carter said he dis-
cussed their “mutual faith in God”
and invited Cedras to teach at his
Georgia Sunda school. This is
the same man C inton described as
a thug, leader ofa junta responsi-
ble for rapes and killings.

Carter credited Haitian Presi—
dent Emile Jonassaint for showing
the coura e and power to force
peace on tEe milita regime. This
is the same man C inton consid-
ered a uppet of the military.

Tel ing Cedras late in the
negotiations, “I am known as a
man of peace,” Carter said in a
private moment that he opposed
the invasion. He knew that Clin-
ton, in the name of democracy,
was ready to pay that price.

;; Cancer locus
oi seminar

By Jeff Vinson
Staff Writer

Keeping women informed about health issues that
affect them is the primai;y goal of tomorrow night’s
“Women’s Cancer Issues seminar.

The seminar begins at 7 p.m. in H133 at the UK
Hospital.

Dr. John R. van Nagell, director of gynecologic
oncology, and Dr. Holly Gallion will discuss preven-
tion, detection and treatment of ecological can-
cers. Gynecological cancers inclu e ovarian cancer,
endometrial or uterine cancer and cervical cancer.

Both van Nagell and Gallion said the most impor-
tant message to deliver to women involves early
detection.

“Two of these three cancers, ovarian cancer and
cervical cancer, produce no symptoms until the dis—
ease has advanced, so the only chance you’re going to
have is to pick it up when it is curable, through early
detection,” van Nagell said.

Gallion said both she and van Nagell feel very
strongly about informing women about cancer symp-
toms and available screening methods.

Transvaginal ultrasonography is a screening
method used to detect ovarian cancer.

“That is where you use a sound wave to form an
image of the ovaries and you can accurately detect
changes in early ovarian tumors,” van Nagell said.

UK offers free ovarian cancer screening to all con-
cerned women.

Of 24,000 new cases of ovarian cancer a year in
the United States, van Nagell said, 13,600 cases
prove fatal.

Cervical cancer statistics also reveal the impor-
tance of advance detection from screenin .

Gallion said that 50 years ago, cervica cancer was
the No. 1 cause of death from gynecological cancers
in the United States.

“The incidents of cervical cancer have markedly

onset of cervical screening,” Gallion said.

In addition, women who are 18 or older, or are
sexually active should receive an annual Pap smear
examination, another method of early detection.

Additional research has led to the discovery that 5
to 10 percent of ovarian cancer cases appear to be
genetic in nature.

Gallion conducted research at Cambridge Univer-
sity to understand the genetic implications relating to
cancer.

at the newly refurbished Miller Hall.

“Despite the new location and

Siegel, an academic adviser at the cen-
ter, which formerly was located in
Frazee Hall.

Adult students may use the service if
they need assistance with the UK

to improve their study skills.

Those classes include a back—to-

bra class, a class called “Chemistry for
Cowards,” classes teaching effective
writing strategies, library tours and a
ﬁnancial aid workshop.

The average class size ranges from
20 to 25 students.

Adults have several different reasons
for coming back to campus.

“Some students are changin their
careers, want better credentian, and
some just never ﬁnished school or their

Enrollment oi
minorities up
in and school

By Kim Harper

Contributing Writer

Enrollment of female minorities in The Gradu-
ate School at UK has almost doubled in the past
four years.

National statistics show that the number of
minority women enrolling for the GRE has risen
dramatically over the past decade —— 112 percent.

“The Graduate School is concerned in making
sure that women are represented in careers that
they are not traditionally associated with,” said
Allen Richardson, associate dean for UK’s graduate
school.

The number of minority women enrolled in
UK’s graduate school has risen from 248 in 1989 to
431 in 1993. The total number of female students
has risen from 2,258 to 2,677 in the same time
period.

Richardson said one of the priorities of the grad-
uate program is to diversify its student population.
For the students to compete in the diverse global
community, they must learn to interact with people
from all racial and ethnic backgrounds, he said.

What could be the cause of this increase of
women minority graduates?

“The fact that the economy demands more
women work and that statistics show that 73 per-
cent of a woman’s income is lost following a
divorce contribute to a need for women to go back
to school,” said Lauretta Byars, vice chancellor for
Minority Affairs.

“A lot of women feel that if they’re going to
work they should make as much money as possible,
and they also feel the crucial
