Ma Bell the
comedian

I print this in light of the

movie coming out

this Sunday about the

whistle blower
himself, Dr. Jeffrey
Wigand, a former

neighbor of mine. The
movie is entitled The

Insider, of which,
parts were filmed in
Louisville. This is
something
outrageously funny.

It is a phone line that

claims to be
representing Brown
and Williamson
Tobacco Company.
This is an obvious
parody of the
cigarette maker but
it is funny none the
less. Keep listening
until after it gives
you the options. You

may try the options if

you are 21 or over,

but I did not because

I did not want to get
in trouble. Try it
when you get home,
it is well worth a
couple of minutes of

your time! I-800-578-

7453. Thank you,
lover. (You'll
understand that. but
only if you call!)

Jokes to
tell

Two old ladies were
outside smoking one
day when it started
to rain. One of the
ladies took out a
condom, cut off the
tip, and put it over
her cigarette. The

other lady said, ‘Hey,

that's a good idea.
What's that called?’
The lady responded,
‘It's a condom.’ The
other lady said,
'Where can you get
one of those?’ She
said, ‘Oh, just about
any grocery or drug
store.’ So, the next

day, the lady went to

a local drug store,
went up to the
cashier, and said, ‘I
need to get some
condoms.’ The

cashier looked at her

puzzled (because of
her age) and said,
'UH, what size?’ The
lady responded,
‘Hmm, one that
would fit a camel.’

A police officer had a
perfect hiding place
for watching for
Speeders, but he
wasn't catching
anyone. One day the
officer found the
problem. A 10-year-
old boy was standing
on the side of the
road with a huge
hand painted sign,
which said "RADAR

TRAP AHEAD." A little

more investigative
work led the officer
to the boy's
accomplice, another
boy about 100 yards
beyond the radar
trap with a sign
reading “TIPS" and a
bucket at his feet,
full of change.

Campus vandalism McKinney

The invisible criminal: Catching vandals an
imposing challenge for UK police and students

By Cory Magliiﬂer

CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Unlike previous years. rto
buildings have been spray-painted.
But the number of cases of vandal-
ism on campus has remained
rather constant. police say.

Vandalism. also known as
criminal mischief, is the second-
rnost reported crime on campus.
said UK police officer Travis Man-
ley. "It‘s sort ofa silent crime." he
said. “It's done. late at night. and
there are few witnesses. No clues
are left. Someone usually has to
turn them in."

As a result. the chances for
catching vandals are not good. Po~
lice usually catch fewer than 10
per year. Manley said.

The most common form of
criminal mischief outside the resi-
dence halls is automobile vandal-
ism. such as “keying" and break
ing windows.

“We've had a rash of tires
slashed or windows broken." said
UK officer Stephanie Bastin.
“They seem to pattern themselves
or come in groups.”

Vandalism

— Criminal mischief costs UK about
$20,000 annually.

— There were l86 reported cases of
criminal mischief last year, 204 cases
in I997 and 198 in I996.

Inside the residence halls. the,
ntost common forttt of vandalism
is ripping out ceiling tiles. police
and students said. “You always see
something in the dorms that some
body has torn up," said Steve W.
Martin. an architecture junior.
"They‘re doing it just because they
know they're not supposed to.“

Once the pattern of the vandal
0r vandals has been established.
police use several techniques to
catch them. including surveillance.
Bastin said. Once the offender has
been caught. the punishment
varies depending on the degree of
damage and the monetary value of
the destroyed property. Restitution
and community service are also
possible sentences.

There is no hard. fast rule for
sentencing people convicted of
vandalism. “There are so many
variables involved. it's left up to
the judge or the prosecutor."
Bastin said.

People from off-campus have
also defaced school property

“We have had problems with
people from other colleges conting
here." Bastin said. The Dean of

Students Office says any group
hosting an event is responsible
for any damage caused.

UK compares well with other
schools of similar size bccaiise
the problem here is small. liastin
said. Rates of reported criminal
mischief are usually pretty
steady yearly. This year. officer
Manley said. they are pretty
much at the average.

“It‘s ttot our bigg ist concern
on campus." he said. "were con
certted about the large number ot
thefts."

On average. 850 thefts are rc—
ported at UK every year.

Internet textbook company being sued

Forty percent off? National Association of College
Stores Inc. says VarsityBooks.com ads are misleading

STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS

The National Association of
College Stores. Inc.. the trade asso-
ciatiort that represents the colle-
giate retailing industry. ﬁled a law-
suit against Varsityliookscom. an
onlitte college textbook ttiarketor.
The suit charges Varsityliookscottt
with making false and misleading
advertising claims regarding large
discounts on textbooks its sells
through its website.

“I think it is good they are be-
ing sued because you can‘t say
things and Itave them not be true."
said Carol Behr. general manager
for Kennedy Bookstore at UK.
"That's the bottont line."

The suit accuses Varsity
Bookscom of claiming to offer col-
lege textbooks at a 40 percent dis-
count when in reality. Varsity—
Bookscom offers only a small per-

centage of its books at 40 percent
below what it calls the “suggested
price" it lists for books.

Behr said she never understood
where VEH‘SlinOOkSCOIIt got the
suggested price value. and that the
40 percent discount (lid not apply
for all books sold by Varsity
Bookscom.

The suit claims that the associ-
atiort attd its member stores have
and will suffer irreparable damage
front VarsityBookscom‘s false
claims.

“VarsityBooks' advertisements
falsely imply that NACS store ntenr
bers overcharge students for text-
books and that the “Suggested
Price“ is falsely identified as the
price publishers suggest that book-
stores charge for new textbooks."
according to the suit.

Paul Salamanca. associate law
professor at UK. said the “suggested

price" is misleading because ntarty
people interpret this as the manu
facturer‘s price.

He also said false advertising is
not protected by the First Amend-
merit.

The suit asks the court to pre-
vent VarsityBookscom front using
arty advertising. promotional mate-
rial or packaging stating that Varsi-
tyliookscom offers discounts or
percentages off textbooks unless
they identify the true basis for the

discount along with the source of

the cottiparat ive price.

The suit also seeks to prevent
Varsityliriokscom front using the
term “suggested price" unless the
publisher issues a suggested price
for the product.

The suit also requests Varsity-
Bookscont to retract its previously
false attd misleading advertising by
informing all customers that adverv
tised discounts attd the use of a
"suggested price" were false arid
misleading.

VIETNAM!

People have accused
Nike ofoperating without
any regard for the people
in developing countries.
Particularly in Vietnam,
where we currently
employ 43,000 people.

If you’re genuinely
concerned about this, we've
got a way for you to not
only help, but to go over
to Vietnam and see the
results first-hand.

Another token effort by
a giant, multi-national
corporation to help dilluse
some bad press, right?

Wrong. It's Nike‘s micro—
loan program. A program
that’s helped thousands
of people since it. began
over two years ago.

It works like this: You
make a contribution of $75
to Friendship Bridge. the
group that administers the
program. They, in turn,

distribute the funds to
people who use it to start
their own businesses.

With every contribution,
Nike creates a matching
loan for $75, giving yet
another person a start on
the road to prosperity.

Now you might think, big
deal. 375. What‘s that
going to do? In a country
where the average annual
income is $200. that‘s sotne
serious venture capital.
(FYI: a typical worker in
our Vietnamese facilities
makes over double the
average annual wage: $564).

Micro-loan recipients
don’t work for us, and the
businesses they start have
nothing to do with making
our stuff.

It’s simply a community
based lending program for
people who happen to live
near one of‘our facilities.

www. nikebiz.com

'l‘o date, we’ve issued
over 3200 micro-loans.
creating almost as many
businesses in the process.
Businesses that are
growing, reinvesting and
improving the lives of over
15,000 people.

For less than the cost
ofa halfdozen (IDs, you
can help people go from
struggling to thriving. And
by participating, you‘re
eligible to visit Vietnam
and see your investment in
action—on us.

To learn more about, or
better yet, to get involved
in the micro-loan program,
go to www.nikebizcom.

Despite what our critics
would like you to believe,
Nike is doing its part to
raise the standard of‘living
for people in Vietnam and
other developing countries.

The question is, are you?

Owners Teresa Tomb and Lisa Duggins held

With an eclectic array of classes this fall, the

Nair said
during
one of her
classes. ,

The class began Oct 19, but stu-
dents can still join.

For beginners, Nair suggests a hard sole times
shoe for men. For women, a slightly high heel that
is comfortable. Chandra has nails on the heetsand
toes of her shoes as is a tradition of ﬂamenco
dancers.

For those who say they can’t dance, but are in-
terested in physical ﬁtness and mental health,

Cute ‘lil tanks in
Sony's shooter

By Robert Ouan
SCENt EDtiOR

'l‘iny. the chaacter in
Sony‘s Tiny Tank. is humani
ty‘s only chance for survival. A
cute. miniature killing tnachinc
designed as a way to sell war to
the American people. That is. of
course. before the robot rebel—
lion lead by Mu'l‘ank. Tiny is
resurrected by small repair ro-
bots one hundred years later
and goes looking for a little pay
back.

That's pretty much it for
story. After that complete lfl
missions and slaughter Mu-
'l‘ank to defeat the eyil robot
army and beat the game. Not
too dull. but certainly not the
most exciting game concept of
I999. The controls and graphics
are mediocre. the home rate is
good. but the “hole thing still
looks a little llltN ky.

The redeeming quality of
this game comes from the nifty
weapons you can equip Tiny
with. These range from your
typical gattling guns to freeze
guns. nothing too original. but
fun nonetheless.

The other major redeemer
is "wupass" mode for two play-
ers. This works best on a large
TV as the screen divides in half.
Otherwise you end up trying to
navigate your tank in a tiny.
pardon the pull. area. “Wup-
ass" mode is scads of fun if you
have a spare controller and the
time. Not as addictive as. say
’I‘ekken III. but still good on the
replay value.

Pick this one up when it
starts to drop in price. For $50
this isn't worth it by any
stretch of the imagination. At
$20. however. it starts to seem
like a better deal.
