s1igned to raise awareness
about the disease and money

Alpha Kappa Alpha. said par-
ticipating in the event could

“It‘s important to partici-
pate because sickle cell 1111117
111ia is 11 disease that affects 11
great deal of African Ameri-
cans. By walking or donating
you are supporting 11 cause
and your support could change
someone‘s life." said Moss.

This is the first Sickle Cell
Walk held by the sorority in
five years. Moss said.

“The event gives students
the opportunity to help in 11
way other than making a do-
nation. lt allows everyone to
take a role 111 1111 important
cause." said Moss.

Moss also said she expects
the event to be very worth-
while. not only to those suffer-
ing from the disease. btit for
those participating.

“Alpha Kappa Alpha has
worked very hard." she said.
“We are 11 service sorority and
this is just one of the ways we

Fellowship of Christian
Athletes members will trick-
or-treat around Lexington
Sunday night. collecting cans
for the statewide charity God‘s
Pantry.

“Participants will dress up
in costumes. go in groups of
three or four. and trick or treat
through neighborhoods just
like little kids do.‘ said Natalie
Harrison a finance and 1111111
agement sophomore who is in
charge of the event.

Members of the fellow ship
said they wanted to get more
involved with the community
and to have more charitable
drives. This is one way to do
so. Harrison said.

God‘s Pantry. which has
eight centers in Lexington.
serves 48 counties in Ken-

tucky. The charity collected 6.11
million pounds of food last
year. said Dennis Luing. the
charity's office manager.

Lexington allows trick or
treating from 6 pm. to 8 p.111.
and fellowship participants
will move thioughout the city
between these hours.

“We aren 't going to be too
close to campus because those
are mostly students' houses.
and we don't want to take food
from them." Harrison said.
"Each group will have a driver
and will go a few blocks to col-
lect cans."

Residents might get scared
seeing college students still
trick- or- treating so a press re-
lease has been sent to the p11
lice department notifying
them of the situation. Prizes
will also be given out to the
students who collect the most
cans and to the person with
the best costume.

By Nathan Hutchinson

The wins just keep com-
ing for the UK (‘ool Cats.
Last weekend the (.‘ats hit

Dear Abbey.

l was looking through
my girlfriend's desk
drawer the other night.
when l found a picture of
guy l‘d never seen before
anti i knew was not one of
her close guy friends.
When l asked her about it
she blew up. She said
that all i ever did was ac»
cuse her of cheating and l
acted like i couldn‘t trust
her at all. This pretty
much finalized my deci-
sion that she actually was
cheating. My question
then is ‘l)o you have a
date for Friday night‘."

Dumped and Desperate

Dear Dumped and
Desperate,

Listen. if this girl
means the world to you.
don't give up so soon.

Speaking from experi
ence. the saying “Once a
cheater. always a

cheater." does not always
necessarily apply. Listen
to what she has to say.
talk about what you two
have had so far in the re-
lationship and decide if
you want to continue this
relationship. If you break
if off with her because
you feel you can't trust

her. then i am busy Fri-
day.
Abbey

Dear Abbey.

l have developed a
crush on one of my cute
co-workers. Our work
environment is much
looser in attitude than
most professional of-
fices. so everybody jokes
around. But I hesitate to
pursue a relationship
with this cutie within
the office. if something
were to go sour. then it
would be rather difficult
to maintain a profession-
al atmosphere. I have
been enjoying activities
with the lovely object of
my desire outside the of-
fice as much as possible.
But most of the time we
spend together is at
work. How can I main»
tain my pursuit without
affecting the work at-
mosphere?

Bamboozled in the
Basement

Dear Bamboozled.

Seems as if you‘re
doing everything that
you can. But listen. if he
or she's worth it. then go
for it. Yeah. it may not
work out. But if you real-
ly like him or her. then
tell this person how you
feel. If he or she is will-
ing to do stuff with you
outside the office. that is
a definite sign of inter-
est. at least for a friend
ship. So tell him or her
how you feel. and see
what happens. if worse
comes to worse. they
may say no to a roman-
tic relationship. But if
this person is truly a
good person. as you say.
they will aim for a
friendship.

#est Many
good movre

By Dave Gorman
SLNIOR SIAH this?"

This is the best movre in 1999. No diggity.
no doubt. i absolutely loved this movie.

Although Spike Lee has never had a No.1
blockbuster. his own family has now. Written
and directed by Malcolm Lee. The Best Man
opened number one at the box ofﬁce last week—
end. 'l‘hat‘s a huge ha to his cousin.

This movie truly has it all

This [lest Man has all the messages: Stay
faithful to your woman. if you‘re not. be pre-
pared to reap what you sow. Also. the beauty of
a truly whipped man and his dilemtnas come
through. The movie has great-looking women
anti i guess the men are all right looking. so

everybody is happy.

it was well worth the money. and even to
see it again. it is even worthy of note—taking of
the wedding vows exchanged in the movie the.
original in your own. though). The acting was
all-around Oscar-caliber performances. it was
actually better than i even expected. The movte
has so much inure to it than meets the eye.

This is a safe movie to go to with a date. or
your boys or girls. if you go on a date. you can
say angelic things afterward. just fill in the
blank. and the girl is yours. ()r. if you go with
members of the same sex. you can talk after
wards about what you would do if you were in

the same situations

This is by far the best i have ever seen
from Morris Chestnut. who was last seen in
Boy: in the Hood. He plays a football star once
again. but this time he's actually acting. You
heard it here first: He will win an Oscar. His
supporting cast is terriﬁc. containing rising
stars like Nina Long and Taye Iliggs. The cast
also features one of the brothers from the late-
night BET show Sparks. He plays a totally dif
ferent part and is the one who literally keeps
everything real. He's the insight. and the en
gine to the fast-paced. heart-ﬁlling. knee-slap

per of a movie.

WASHINGTON - Students
convicted of drug
offenses will be

barred from receiving

federal college
tuition and for one
year and, in some
cases, permanently
under rules taking
effect next summer.
The regulations are
based on a law
enacted last year to
reduce waste in the
student loan system.
They do not apply to
juvenile records, and

some students will be

able to retain
eligibility by
completing drug
rehabilitation or by

Soft campaign money isn’t free speech

The Republicans did it again. They successfully
blocked efforts last week in the Senate to prohibit the
unlimited amount of specialinterest contributions giv-
en to political parties also known as “soft money."
The official GOP stance is that prohibiting soft money
is a violation of the First Amendment right to free
speech. We believe the campaign finance system needs
to be overhauled so that everyone has an equal voice.

The main opposition to campaign-finance reform
is being led by Mitch McConnell. the Republican sena-
tor from Kentucky. Sen. McConnell is a staunch oppo-
nent of any effort to limit soft money. He espoused his
strong belief this summer when he tried to intimidate
members of the Committee for Economic Development
(CED). These business executives received a letter
from McConnell accusing them of trying to “eviscerate
private sector participation in politics" by endorsing
campaign—ﬁnance reform.

McConnell's scare tactic only heightened the
awareness of real need for reform. Several of the (TED
members Worked for companies that had legislation
pending before (‘ongress ’l‘liis "coincident“ smacked

get about doing business with the United States Con-
gress. If free speech is equivocated with the ability to
give money, then the poor (including college students)
have very little right to free speech. How much money
can you afford to give in order to do “business" with
the Congress? In a Gallop Organization poll conducted
in the first part of October, sixty-four percent of Amer-
icans polled felt that the campaign finance system
needed to be ﬁxed. Unfortunately. only 31% of Ameri-
cans under the age of 30 believe reform is needed.

Why do so many young people not care about an
issue so important to the rest of the country? Perhaps
it is because young people do not see the impact that
big money has on our political system. If that is the
case. we need to wake up. Young people need to realize
our importance in the political process is measured in
the proportion of money we are able to give. If young
people do not advocate campaign finance reform. our
voices will never be heard.

We believe Congress should prohibit soft money
and raise the individual contribution to $3000. By do-
ing so. all Americans will have a more equal voice in
