The average lightning
stroke is six miles long.

The temperature of
lightning's return stroke
can reach 50,000
degrees Fahrenheit, hot-
ter than the surface of
the sun (around 11,000
degrees Fahrenheit).

The average thunder-
storm is six to IO miles
wide.

The average thunder-
storm travels at 25 mph.

Once the leading
edge of a thunderstorm
approaches to within to
miles, you are at immedi-
ate risk because of the
possibility of lightning
strokes coming from
overhanging anvil cloud.
Because of this, many
lightning deaths and
injuries occur with clear
skies directly overhead.

On average, thunder
can only be heard over a
distance of three to four
miles, depending on
humidity, terrain and
other factors.

About 100,000 thun-
derstorms occur in the
United States each year.
About to percent of all
thunderstorms are
severe enough to pro-
duce high winds, flash
floods and tornadoes.

Thunderstorms cause
an average of 200
deaths and 700 injuries
in the United States each
year, most of which
could be prevented with
the extra warning
devices.

Eye strain sometimes has troubled Tim Hughes, a computer science junior and a lab consultant In the Grehan Building.

Pain in the eye

Looking at a computer for prolonged time period
playing havoc with students', professor's sight

By Regina Prater

After sitting at the computer
for three long hours typing that
12-page paper on mating habits of
Australian kangaroos. your eyes
start to burn and water. your vi»
sion blurs and your eyelids be-
come so heavy you feel you can't
go on.

Don't feel alone. The Ameri»
can Academy of Ophthalmology
said many computer users suffer
from eye strain associated with
prolonged viewing of Video Dis~
play Terminals. more commonly
known as computer monitors.

John Clark. technology coore
dinator in the College of Commu-
nication and Information Studies.
started having headaches and
burning. itchy and bloodshot eyes
after he took the position two
years ago.

“A couple of years ago I start-
ed working on graphics and web
pages all day long, and I developed
eye strain and headaches." Clark
said. ”I never had this problem un-
til I got a larger monitor and began
working with colors so much."

Clark lessened his symptoms
by sitting as far as possible from

play settings on the computer so
the images are larger. He also
walks away from the computer
every 30 to 35 minutes to give his
eyes a break.

Robert Tannenbaum. UK di-
rector of Academic Computing
Services. said after consumers
purchase a computer. they should
take it to the place it will be used
and check to see if the distance
they are sitting from the monitor
causes eye strain.

“Distance. different lighting
and viewing angles can cause
eyes to become strained." Tan-
nenbaum said.

He said monitors might affect
people differently. Consumers
should never purchase a monitor
from a company that will not take
it back if it causes eye strain or
other problems. he said.

Computer users should sit
three to four feet away frotn the
monitor and move their eyes away
from the screen at least every ll)
minutes. Tannenbaum said.

Sandip Shah. a computer sci.
ence graduate student. said he
started experiencing eye strain
when he came to America from
India a little more than a year ago.

“In India. I used a black and
white screen with some sort of
anti-glare cover over the screen."
he said.

Shah attributes the strain to
using color monitors with poor res-
olution and that he must do com-
puter work eight to 10 hours a day.

Shah said his problem wors-
ens with certain types of fonts
anti when he views graphics. such
as the kind on the Internet. for
prolonged periods oftime.

Geoff Rothman. a computer
science graduate student. devel
oped eye problems this summer
when he worked almost 10 hours
a day on a computer.

“The eye strain was so bad it
prompted me to get glasses."
Rothman said.

The glasses are not made to
correct his near perfect vision.
but are equipped with a special
coating to block out the glare from
the computer screen. he said.

John Ilierly. an assistant pro-
fessor of ophthalmology. said
everyone experiencing eye strain
should have an eye exam. Bierly
said some people might need a
separate pair of glasses to allow
for the distance the computer
monitor is from the eyes. He also
recommends that people take fre-
quent breaks.

work cause whatever body part to

UK players
suspended
for 4 games

Coach Smith says punishments will be over

after Wildcats' second regular season game

By Aaron Sanderford
SPORTSDAILV EDITOR

Three Wildcat basketball players
learned their fate Monday. and it starts
with four.

IK junior center Jamaal Magloire.
sophomore guard Ryan Hogan anti sopho-
more forward Myron Anthony will miss
the first four games of the 1998 season.
starting with tonight's exhibition against
the California All-Stars. Head coach Tubby
Smith announced the suspensions Monday
at his weekly press conference.

Missing both exhibition games and reg-
ular season games against Eastern Ken;
tucky and Mercer will officially end the dis-
ciplinary period for Magloire. Hogan and
Anthony.

"Obviously. you want a full compli-
ment of your players there to perform so
everyone is meshing together." Smith said.
"This didn‘t happen at all last year: this is a
first. so I'll be wondering how we will re-
spond."

Magloire was disciplined for being in a
car this summer with people arrested on
drug charges; Hogan was disciplined in
connection with his arrest this Slilllllli‘l‘ for
driving under the influence; Anthony was
disciplined for wrecking senior point guard
Wayne Turner's car in September 1.097 and
leaving the accident scene.

()nly Anthony will miss additional
games. because of academic troubles.
Rather than suspend him for the semester.
Smith chose to keep Anthony in Lexmgton
during first-semester road trips that con
flict with his class schedule

But the (fats‘ immediate concern is to
find team chemistry in the midst of chaos.
Smith said. L'K's five freshmen will be ex
pected to step into several of the roles va-
cated by suspensions. he said.

”We've been working together since
Oct. 17. and we've been making those ad»
justments during practice and playing guys
a lot with different lineups and matchups."
Smith said. “But it hurts the team when
you don't have everybody there."

Hogan said he wasn’t surprised by the
length of his suspension. while Anthony
said he was a bit disappointed with his ex-
tended punishment. But the rest of the
team simply wants to move on.

"We‘ve all known they've made mis-
takes." sophomore center Michael Bradley
said. “It‘s been around for so long now;
we're ready to move past this and focus on
the season."

And the season starts tonight at 7:30
pm. when the Wildcats take the Rupp Are-
na floor for the second time in three seasons
as defending champions. Their opponents
include former UCLA stars Kris Johnson.
Jelani McCoy and Charles O'Bannon.

“This being an all-star team will raise
our evaluation of our team." Smith said.

Youth not pulling the lever

Bureau statistics show not enough teens,
20-year-olds not rocking vote in November

By Marti Vanderhott
STA—FF wmitn

Statistics suggest when it
comes to voting. people age 18-
24 don’t make it to the polls.

In the 1996 general elec-
tions, less than a third of Ken-
tuckians in that age group vot-
ed, according to the US. Census
Bureau.

“A lot of people at that
age don‘t think it affects them
in any way," said Derek Ful-
son. an architecture sopho-
more.

Factors contributing to stu
dent indifference vary, but
seem to stack up cohesively,

“Students are less rooted in
their community." said Mark
Pefiley. professor and director
of undergraduate studies for
UK‘s political science depart-

ment. “They live in a different
city than they grew up in."

Because the district a citi-
zen votes in coincides with the
address on their driver‘s 1i-
cense, a student who has not
updated such information with
Fayette’s County clerk can’t
vote in Lexington.

So a potential voter has two
choices: a trip to their home
voting district or an absentee
ballot. a process Peffley con-
tends most students aren't
aware of.

“Political parties in the
US. don‘t make registration
as accessible as they could."
Peffley said. “People are less
familiar with the proce-
dures."

Figuring out how to vote is
just the beginning.

“I don‘t understand a lot of
the bills that go through," said
Nate Brown. Student Govern—
ment Association president. “A
student’s schedule doesn't
make it easy."

Indeed politics can seem
complicated, even foreign.

“(Students) don't feel like
they get accurate information,"
said Ralph Whitley, an engi-
neering/physics junior.

When the candidates don’t
address issues that reflect stu-
dents‘ concerns, voting may not
seem pertinent.

“(Students) don’t think it
affects them yet because the
things being campaigned for
are tax reform and health
care, things like that," said
Jamie Robinson, an unde-
clared junior.

Undeclared sophomore
Sara Sahni thinks her vote is
important, but wasn't surprised
by statistics.

“It’s not ironic to me,” Sah-

ni said. “It's hard to encourage
awareness."

Some students will vote re-
gardless of the obstacles.

“I'll have to drive home to
vote, but it‘s important,” said
Courtney Parker, an elemen-
tary education senior from
Frankfort.

Brown thinks if more stu-
dents would vote, candidates
would start addressing their
concerns.

“There are so many stu-
dents, we really could make a
difference,” Brown said.

Individually or collectively,
the power of the vote is not lost
on all students.

“It’s the only way you can
voice your opinion, and you
have a right to do it at a cer-
tain age, so why not?" Parker
said.

Census bureau statistics
show that, in general, more peo
ple exercise their right to vote
as they grow older.

 

Alumnus sees
Glenn blast off

Former student one of 250,000 at space
center to witness ex-astronauts expedition

By Kristina Pickrall
and Sarah Charles
CONIRIBUIING WRIIKRS

Growing up, UK alumnus
Tim Bender watched “The Six
Million Dollar Man," and
dreamed of flying off in a jet to
fight the bad guys like the lead
character, Col. Steve Austin.

It comes as no surprise
that along with the 250,000 oth
ers at Kennedy Space Center
and many TV viewers, Bender
watched John Glenn’s return
to space last Thursday.

Unlike other viewers, Ben-
der -— a 1982 business adminis-
tration graduate ~ played a
special part in John Glenn’s
historical mission.

As lead landing support of-
ficer of NASA and a lieutenant
colonel in the US. Air Force,
Bender said the chance to ful-
fill his dream started with the
[3% Force ROTC program at

His dream of one day fly-
ing for his country began at UK
and has led him to his service
at the NASA space program.

“I always knew where I
wanted to go, but didn’t know
how to get there. The ROTC
program (at UK) gave me di~
rection and the tools I needed

to succeed,” he said.

As part of the NASA Flight
Team for Space Shuttle Opera-
tions, Bender helps provide
search and rescue forces and
any other support for NASA if
something goes wrong with a
shuttle launch or a malfunc-
tion occurs while a crew is in
orbit.

Bender also briefs astro-
nauts on the status of all
emergency airfields around
the world for shuttle emer-
gency landing and briefs the
State Department on the shut-
tle status.

John Glenn’s mission.
STS-95, is Bender’s last duty at
his current position. This
summer, Bender will be reas-
signed to flying again.

“I’ve come a long way
with the Air Force and it's not
over yet," he said.

The Flying Wildcats, UK’s
AFROTC, is among 700 insti—
tutions that offer a choice of a
four-year program or two-
year program in aerospace
studies.

Students 20 through four
years of ROTC courses. Be-
tween sophomore and junior
years, students complete a
four-week training program.

who was walking in the
crosswalk, that he was com-
ing but she didn’t seem to
hear him.

In his 20 years at UK,
Chuck Lord, an associate pro-
fessor of music, said he has
seen many similar accidents
in that area caused by cyclists
not looking out for pedestri-
ans.

“Every month I see a close

call of someone getting hit,”
Lord said.

“I’ve almost been hit a
couple of times myself."

Lord crosses at the same
crosswalk where the accident
occurred most days and said
there are so many cyclists now
that he feels like he should
look four times before crossing
the street.

Lord said he thinks cy-
clists hitting pedestrians is an
all too common occurrence on
campus.

UK Police declined to
comment on the accident.

Soul Coughing brings a mix of techno, funk and rock to the table In Its new album, El 05a. The album,

though, amounts to nothing snore than a cacophony of childish noise.

Gesundheit!

Soul Coughing lacks maturity and talent
with new album of trite tunes, El 050

By Clark Case
ASSISTANT DIALOGUE EDITOR

LQué pasa?

(,Eloso!

40h,el oso?

Si, mi amigo.

Be wary of a band that
names an album El 050
Soul Coughing did, and
they're among the most des-
titute bands in the nation.

For that matter, I‘m not
even sure what kind of mu-
sic this is. It reminds me of
the stuff me and my third-
grade buddies would play in
a jam session when they
were spending the night. I‘d
take my elementary piano
skills to the little 24-key Ca—
sio keyboard, using one of
the four pre-programmed
drum beats (march. waltz.
swing or jazz) as the rhythm
section while I played ran-
dom notes and sang about
GI. Joe figures.

Had I had known the
music we at those prepubes-
cent gigs would be better
than a band getting radio
play in 1998, I'd have tried to
keep our band together
rather than ostracizing the
other two members after
they broke my Atari 7800

while playing Pole Position.

Nevertheless, Soul
Coughing is on the scene
with their third album. El
080. Frontman M. Doughty
speaks favorably of his hands
latest release: "This record is
huge. It's my favorite. I‘m not
lying. On El 050 we have re-
ally grown as a band."

Hidden beneath the sur-
face of that quote. Doughty
tells the entire story of this
phenomenon called Soul
Coughing. Did you notice his
eloquence? Those three and
four word sentences above
much resemble the lyrical
oblivion Soul Coughing
brings to modern teclnwgmi-
taro-basso funk. His lyrics in
the songs are so plain. they
make Kum-Bay-Ya's lyrics
seem complex and methodi-
cally encapsulating.

But Doughty has more
to say about his little coven
of monotonous musicians:
“When the band was formed
(in 1992), I had given up on
making it in the music in-
dustry. I didn‘t care any-
more. and I just wanted to
book some Monday night
shows and have some fun.“

There‘s a damn good
reason Soul Coughing‘s v0-

calist had given up on mak-
ing it in the music business
-— he can't sing and his band
can't make music. In fact, I
would've thought his anti-as-
pirations would have been
easily achieved. except

There are times in the
course of human existence
when we have to ask the for-
bidden question Why?

Why in the world did a
record company sign these
losers? Why would they
want to make a CD that did-
n't sound as good as your
third-grade keyboard?

If you don‘t believe my
impression of Soul Cough-
ing. turn on your radio at
3:24 am. and listen. At that
dead hour. you may hear
one of their songs. a ditty

calle d" (‘ircles " that Ills are

pl: iyi n i when they feel like
their lives have become too
exciting “Circles " sounds
just like every other song on
El ()so and every other song
on El 030 sounds like the
repetitive oblivion of nor-
mality. Monotone lyrics.
three notes on a guitar and a
pansy bassline.

If you buy this (II). you'll
be sorry ,, and so will Soul
Coughing. After all. they
gave up on the music indus-
try a long time ago.

And it shows.

Venerable

artist tells
of his life
experience

Life gives Robbie Fulks
substance on new album

Dy Den Salmon
STAFF WRITER

Robbie Fulks took a long road to
get to where he is today.

He paid his dues kicking around
in Chicago honky—tonk bars. He taught
for a decade at the Old Towne School
of Folk Music. He did time in the rol-
licking Special Consensus Bluegrass
Band. And then he went to Nashville
to make some money writing country
music, only to fail miserably.

Ironically, it turned out to be his
biggest break.

Discouraged by the glitzy meat-
market of Nashville, Fulks returned
home, where he was noticed by Rob
Miller of the fledgling insurgent-
country label Bloodshot Records.
Miller signed Fulks on the spot, and
the rest, as they say, is history.

Let's Kill Saturday Night is
Fulks‘ major label debut. After two
stellar albums for Bloodshot. Fulks
signed to Geffen as an outlet for his
more electric side.

Saturday Night accomplishes ex-
actly that. Drenched in feedback and
littered with nee-grunge guitar riffs.
the album is the polar opposite of
Fulks” previous efforts.

The departure shows the range
of Fulks' songwriting ability —— that‘s
the easy part. The quality of Satur-
day Night illuminates the depth of
enormous talent.

The album opens with the title
cut, an ode to small-town living. The
song is truly an instant classic, fea-
turing a jangly guitar line and Fulks‘
plaintive tenor voice.

The album proceeds through a
roller-coaster ride of dynamics and
emotion. On “Caroline," Fulks belts
out the distraught character‘s name
as harmonies dance around him in a
style reminiscent of recent tourmate
Ben Folds Five.

Power pop also reigns supreme
on the sly. catchy “She Must Think I
Like Poetry." and the Tommy Keene-
like “Take Me To The Paradise."
Fulks injects a little more guitar-
crunch in “Little King" and “Down
In Her Arms."

Not until the second half of the
album does Fulks allow his coun-
try/westem side out of its shell. “You
Shouldn't Have." is a scathing.
stomping rant at a cheating lover.
while “God Isn't Real." is an ultra-
sarcastic tribute to the old Louvin
Brothers classic “Satan Is Real."

“Can't Win For Losing You."
comes closest to Fulks‘ previous mu-
sical ventures. The song is classic
country. a tale'of heartbroken loneli-
ness-as Fulks‘ describes so perfectly
in the line. “I'd be rich if broken
dreams were dimes."

“Night Accident." about a con-
versation between a car~crash sur-
vivor and his lifeless friend in the
passenger seat. is a harrowing tale of
death and anguish. The song is yet
another tour of the human soul led
by Fulks.

With all of Fulks' experience. it‘s
no wonder he is such a qualified guide.

It‘s no wonder he continues to
churn out extraordinary music al-
bum after album.

New system to hit market

Sega set to release revolutionary system
that could surpass both Nintendo and Sony

Dy Nathan Stevens
COHTRlDUTIiiG TECHNOLOGY COLUHHIST

On Nov. 20, Japan will get
to see one of the greatest video-
game systems made to date. It‘s
not made by Sony or Nintendo.
but Sega, which will release its
new system called Dreamcast.

While the name doesn't
sound too intimidating or styl-
ish. the system itself makes up
the difference. The processor.
which determines how fast the
system can play a game without
that annoying loading time. is
superiast on this machine (200
plus megahertz).

The chip that makes these
beautiful graphics possible is
the PowerVR graphics chip.
The system also includes eight
megabytes of Random Access
Memory, which helps the sys-

R

,.k..ogo;4.

tem pump out graphics at a
quick rate with almost no load-
ing time.

Finally. a wonderful device
Sega has cleverly added to the
Dreamcast arsenal is. drum roll
please a modem! A device
that is mainly used to commu-
nicate with the Internet on per-
sonal computers will now grace
console systems. This means
you won‘t have to spend thou-
sands of dollars on a PC to get
the Internet.

The modem works just like
a regular PC modem: You hook
up your phone wire to the ma-
chine and the other end to a
phone outlet, and you‘re con-
nected. Sega has its own online
service, which is already set-up
for the system‘s launch. and will
offer this service not only in
Japan. but also the United States
