The University of Ken- tucky’s Center for Re- search on Violence Against Women is sponsoring a na- tional conference, "Toward a National Research Agen- da on Violence Against Women,“ Oct. 1 and 2 at the Marriot Griffin Gate Re- sort. “It's a great opportuni- ty to get state of the art in- formation on research on violence and to introduce it in a high profile way.” said Acting Director and Conference Coordinator Carol Jordan. “Across the nation there are weaknesses in methodologies of current research. We’re not yet do- ing a good job of ensuring that research translates into practice," she said. Participants include UK faculty and students. local advocates, re- searchers from forty uni- versities and a delegate from Nepal. “These people (re- searchers) have been doing this for twenty years,” said psychology graduate stu- dent Michelle Cardi. “The level and quality of their experience is amazing." Some of the major top- ics to be addressed include physical and mental health implications of violence, methodologies. offender tyo pologies. the responsibility of the justice system con- cerning women’s safety and risk factors of vio- lence. Many UK faculty and students will contribute to fields of expertise by sub- mitting posters and litera- ture on specific areas of violence. Cardi said.

Starbucks keeps busy at their two campus locations and looks to add more stores elsewhere on campus By Molly owner coumsurmc. wante— As the weather gets colder. students are finding their way to Starbucks loca- tions on campus for a steam— ing cup of coffee, while Cam- pus Cuisine prepares to open three new locations. Currently. Starbucks shops are located in the Stu- dent Center and Commons. Erica Goins, an elemen~ tary education sophomore. said she frequents the Stu- dent Center Starbucks to get her favorite drink, a French vanilla cappuccino. “This one, you can sit down. and they have comfy chairs." she said. Although Starbucks uses almost 200 pounds of coffee in a six-day week, the workers said they never seem to get sick of it. They get all the free coffee they can drink. But constant busi- ness allows little time to en- joy it. “We get really busy sometimes." said psychology junior Julie Dovak. a student supervisor who has worked at Starbucks for two years. Civil engineering junior Cassie Shondel said Star- bucks has a cult following among many students. “Star bucks is it‘s own little fad." she said. “The customers talk to us about anything. mainly school."

The college is the clearinghouse headquar- ters for the Kentucky Cen- ter for School Safety. The Kentucky Center for School Safety works to provide students with safe schools, said Doris Settles, the clearinghouse’s coor- dinator. “School culture im- proves when a school- wide prevention plan con- sistently addresses the needs of all students to encourage a safe and healthy learning environ- ment,” she said. All 176 school districts in Kentucky receive funds to improve and implement school safety programs from the center. Thousands of teach- ers, administrators and community members have attended training work- shops and conferences sponsored by the Ken- tucky Center for School Safety. “Making Kentucky schools safe places to learn and work takes a concerted effort, and the Kentucky Center for School Safety coordinates those efforts in a variety of ways." Settles said. individ- ual. We can’t have safe schools without safe commu- nities. ” _ M m coordinator of the Kentucky Center for School Safety The Kentucky Center for School Safety was created by the General Assembly and is not funded by UK. The Kentucky Center for School Safety part- ners with the Kentucky Department of Educa- tion and the College of Education to implement the program, Settles said. The center is currently working on a new initiative to prevent gun violence in schools. Each year during the third week of October. schools throughout Kentucky come together to support Kentucky School Safety Week. During the week, students and teachers sign pledge cards to refuse to use guns to resolve their problems. This year they want to receive 500.000 pledge card signatures.

Four-car crash in Clay County kills two MANCHESTER ~ A four-car crash in Clay County killed two sisters from Hyden and injured three people, according to Kentucky State Police Trooper Craig Sutton. The victims of the accident late Monday afternoon were Carlyle Lawrence. 76, and her sister. Dorothy Morgan. 77. Lawrence was driving eastbound on the Hal Rogers Parkway when she failed to slow her Ford Explorer for on- coming traffic that was merging from three lanes to two. Sutton said. The Explorer rear-ended a van. which in turn struck a pickup and another car.

The three injured people were treated at Manchester Memorial Hospital and released. Charges not dropped in WKU murder case BOWLING GREEN — A Warren County judge was asked Monday to set an immediate trial date for one of two men charged with murder in the death of a college freshman who was raped. stabbed and set on fire. At a hearing Monday. Circuit Judge Thomas Lewis denied a motion from defense attorney David Broderick to drop charges against his client. Lucas B. Goodrum. Goodrum is charged in connection with the death of Katie Autry. who was a student at Western Kentucky University. Autry. 18. was pulled from her smoldering dormitory room in the early- morning hours of May 4. She died three days later at a Tennessee hospital. where she was being treated for third- and fourth-degree burns. Goodrum. 21. and Stephen Soules. 20. both of Scottsville. were arrested several days after her death. The two were charged with murder and ’or complicity to commit murder. first-degree rape and/0r complicity to commit first-degree rape. firstclegree sodomy and/or complicity to commit firstdegree sodomy: and arson and i’or complicity to commit arson. Soules also is charged with rob- bery. Both men have pleaded innocent. Broderick told the judge Monday that prosecutors have shown no evidence. such as fingerprints or video- tape. that shows Goodrum entering the dormitory After Lewis refused to drop the charges. Broderick asked Lewis to set an immediate trial date and bond. Both Goodrum and Soules are being held without bond at the Warren County Regional Jail. Lewis set a hearing on Friday to consider Broderick‘s request. Assistant (‘ommonwealth's Attorney Chris Cohron. who is prosecuting the case. insists that Goodrum was involved in the death. Cohron said Soules must stand trial first in order for the state to build its case against Goodrum. U of I. to offer master's Ii moor LOUISVILLE — The University of Louisville said Monday it will offer the state's first master's degree program for nurses specializing in cancer care thanks to an infusion of federal funds. The program is to be part of a comprehensive effort led by the university to improve training of nurses in cancer care. It is being started with a $298,050 grant from the Department for Health and Human Services to the university's School of Nursing. The money is to be used to establish the Center for Can- cer Nursing Education and Research. The idea is to enhance care given by nurses who provide a “significant portion" of care for cancer patients, both in hospitals and home-based care. Mary Mundt. dean of the School of Nursing. said in a telephone interview. As cancer treatments evolve. nurses will need an “increasingly sophisticated level of knowledge" to care for patients, she said. The master's program is designed to turn out nurs- es skilled in prevention. screening and care of can- cer patients and their families. Mundt said. The program could reach well beyond Louisville. The university trains nurses who work in hospitals and clinics across Kentucky. Mundt said the center would coordinate efforts to improve training for cancer care at nursing schools at U of L. Bel- larmine University: Spalding University, Jefferson Community College and Indiana University South- east. The center also will identify education needs for registered nurses working in cancer care at the James Graham Brown Cancer Center. Jewish Hos- pital. Norton Hospital and Baptist Hospital East. all in Louisville. US. Rep. Anne Northup. R-Ky, who helped win the federal funding. said the initia- tive will give nurses the “cuttingedge information and tools they need to battle this devastating dis- ease." Mundt said the master's specialty will give nursing students greater expertise in managing care and symptoms. end-of-life care and other as- pects of patients' lives. such as rest and activity. Mundt said she anticipates an increase in post- graduate nursing students at U of L. She said six current nursing school faculty will handle teach- ing duties for the new master‘s degree specialty. Southland Church cuts jobs to save mon LEXINGTON - Central Kentucky’s biggest churc is cutting about 19 jobs to save money and eliminate duplication of efforts. congregation leaders said. The move will save Southland Christian Church a substantial amount of money, said Ernie Coburn. chairman of the church‘s elders. Coburn said church leaders would use much of the savings to pay off a nearly $16 million debt early The church built a new worship center. classrooms, a dining area and space for a ministry that helps poor people. The lay- offs don‘t signal trouble at the Lexington church. Coburn said. adding that attendance and giving at the church have increased over the last year. Weekly attendance has topped 8.000. “We're doing this not because the future is dim for Southland. Were doing it to be better stewards.“ he said. The church is also temporarily closing its food ministry. which served meals to hundreds of churchgoers each week. Coburn said the restaurant will eventually neopen.

National Guard killed in Iraq Guard Officials: death Monday was first for Kentucky Army National Guard since the Vietnam War ASSOCIATED PRESS LOUISVILLE. — A mem- ber of the Kentucky Army National Guard was killed in Iraq while supporting com- bat operations. the state De— partment of Military Affairs said. National Guard officials said it was Kentucky’s first Army National Guard com- bat death since the Vietnam War. ' Sgt. Darrin K. Potter. 24. of Louisville. died Monday while serving with the 223rd Military Police Company. He was part of a mili- tary police squad supporting elements of the 82nd Air- borne Division. Other details of the death were not imme- diately available. Lt. Col. Phil Miller. a National Guard spokesman. said Potter had been in the National Guard about 5 years. Mark Miller. a Louisville attorney who was a friend of Potter's. said he met Potter about a year ago when he be- came his attorney, but they later developed a friendship. He said Potter called him fre- quently from Iraq and mailed him Iraqi money and a hat pin from an Iraqi police officer‘s hat. “I have fond memories. He was a young kid. It was a shame." Miller said. Potter's father. David Potter. said Tuesday the fam- ily was grieving and wanted some time to deal with the news before talking about his son‘s death. The US. Cen~ tral Command reported that a soldier in a military police brigade was killed when a military vehicle overturned and became submerged in a canal near Abu Gareb Prison in Bagdhad Monday. but it was not clear if that soldier was Potter. In that incident. military police soldiers were part of convoy responding to reports of a mortar attack. A vehicle carrying three soldiers went into the canal while attempt- ing to make a turn. Two were able to swim to safety but a third soldier was trapped. During attempts to recover the body. a member of a dive team from the 82nd Airborne failed to resurface. The div- er‘s body was recovered Tuesday. Mark Miller. the attor~ ney. said he was shocked and angry when he heard about Potter 5 death “basically. feeling like what a shame that a young man like Darrin is lost when someone like an old lawyer like me is still kicking." he said. “Some of us were lucky to avoid con- flicts in the Vietnam War lot- tery and others volunteer like Darrin. So it hurts. It hurts everybody” Potter. a former Jeffer son County police officer. had filed suit seeking to get his job back. He was looking forward to returning home to get the matter resolved. Mark Miller said. “Judi and I want to ex- tend our condolences to Sergeant Potter‘s family." Gov. Paul Patton said in a statement. “We are praying for them, as we pray for all of those who have gone in harm‘s way in service to our nation." Phil Miller. the national guard spokesman. said Pot- ter's unit had been serving in the Persian Gulf region since February About 1.974 Kentucky National Guard personnel are on active duty. with about 200 of those serv- ing in Iraq, he said. Government official exposes CIA identity Justice Department searches for source of leak; White House officials defend against suspicions WASHINGTON — Con- gressional Democrats called Tuesday for an independent probe into whether the White House illegally revealed an undercover CIA officer’s iden- tity. The GOP accused the mi- nority party of using the is- sue for political gain. Democratic leaders con- demned the disclosure of the name of the CIA officer. who is the wife of former Ambas- sador Joseph C. Wilson IV. a prominent critic of Bush's Iraq policy. “These actions cannot be tolerated." House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi of Cali- fornia said. “Few secrets are more c105er guarded by the United States than the sources and methods of intelligence col- lection. Those who revealed the name of the CIA officer have neither an appreciation of. nor a respect for, the dan- gerous circumstances in which clandestine officers of- ten live and work." she said. But some Republicans said the Democrats were just playing politics. “Surprise. surprise, they are calling for a special coun- sel. My goodness,” said House Majority Leader Tom DeLay. R-Texas. “It must be in their political handbook. their cam- paigi handbook." The Justice Department is trying to find out who leaked the name of the CIA operative. possibly in an at- tempt to punish Wilson. who had accused the administra- tion of manipulating intelli- gence to exaggerate the threat from Iraq. But Democrats want At- torney General John Ashcroft to recuse himself and appoint a special prosecutor. saying Ashcroft is too close to the White House to be objective. But Republicans ex- pressed confidence in the Jus- tice Department‘s investiga~ tion. “I would just make the point that this is being inves- tigated by the FBI. who I have a lot of confidence in,” said Sen. Judd Gregg. R-N.H. “It is not being vetted by the attor- ney general. The FBI will be doing the legwork and as a re- sult I think we will find out what happened here and. clearly. if the allegations are correct. the crime has oc- curred. then it should be pros- ecuted." Senate Democrats tried Tuesday to attach a resolution calling for a special counsel to a spending bill for the District of Columbia. but Republicans ruled it was not germane to the spending bill and it was defeated without a vote. Ashcroft has not ruled out ap pointing a special counsel. a senior law enforcement offi- cial said. But Democrats said the GOP would be acting dif- ferently if there was a Democ- rat like former President Clinton in the White House. “Subpoenas would be on the street, hearings would be scheduled. (former House Government Reform Chair- man) Dan Burton would be in high dudgeon and Republi- cans would be asserting that the Clinton administration had no concern for the securi- ty of our nation and the safe- ty of our security personnel.“ said House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer, D-Md. Instead, “there are no hearings sched- uled. no subpoenas on the street. no Republicans assert- ing that this is a serious is- sue." lcn'cl «stones “wise ': Hillllt ‘0 Repairs ' (behind Taco Bell 011 Nicholasville RdI 126 Burt Rd. 5. a...

Despite the recent brush with winter temperatures. iced drinks are currently on top of the popularity list at Starbucks. However. many customers still opt for the steamy varieties. Although Starbucks is popular. it does have some adversaries. “I was coming to school and I heard people in the back of the amphitheater shouting ‘down with Star- bucks'." Shondel said. According to Star- buckseom. each coffee fea— tured in the store is selected for the “defining qualities that distinguish its origin. In layman terms. they pick the best coffee from each pro- ducing country. The coffee buying team samples over one thousand “offer sam- ples" each year. according to the site. and very few of these make it to the ware- houses. The coffee buyers not only travel 18 weeks out of the year to various coun- tries to buy coffee. but their goal is to continue to learn about coffee and strengthen relationships with the grow- ers and suppliers. Just in time for the cool- er temperatures outside. a third Starbucks coffee shop will be opening in the Kenv tucky Clinic. The new restaurant will be the third in a six location license contract between Starbucks and UK Campus Cuisine. The Kentucky Clin- ic is an ideal location for Starbucks because of the foot traffic. said Robin Gibbs. director of Campus Cuisine. “Starbucks has a stan- dard of traffic flow we need to meet when we decide on a location." she said. “Ken- tucky Clinic meets these traf- fic standards." The three locations will be open sometime in 2004. she said. Stores are planned for K-Lair and the Biologi- cal/ Biomedical Sciences Re- search Building. Gibbs said. They have not decided on the third location. Applications are being accepted currently at the Student Center location for the new store. The new coffee shop will be opening in November or December. said Michael Dean. manager of the Stu- dent Center Starbucks. With 300 to 400 customers a day at the Student Center location. the Kentucky Clinic store will have big shoes to fill. “This one is a lot busier [than the Commons Market] because it's in the Student Center."
