CELEBRATING 35 YEARS OF INDEPENDENCE

 

Students ‘call-in’ for AIDS policy reform

By Tyler Montgomery
news®kykerneicom

Students who passed the WT.
Young Library at any point yesterday
would have noticed many small flags
arranged to form a giant ribbon in front
of the building.

But students might not have known
the flags represented the 7.500 people
who die from AIDS every day. accord-
ing to the Joint United Nations Pro-
gramme on HIV/AIDS.

UK's chapter of the International

Federation of Medical Students‘ Asso—
ciations placed the flags and held a
call-in yesterday. allowing students to
call the White House or the Washington
office of Rep. Ben Chandler. D-Ky.. in
support of an act that would fund con-
traceptive methods that help prevent
AIDS and HIV.

If passed. the Protection Against
Transmission of HIV for Women and
Youth Act would take one—third of the
money used to combat the global AIDS
epidemic and use it to promote contra-
ceptives and safe sex as a preventative

measure against AIDS in the United
States. The money is cun‘ently used to
promote abstinence as the primary pre-
ventative method.

Hospitality management and
tourism junior Lindsey Fields was one
of the 300 to 400 people who made
calls to Chandler's office yesterday.
Fields said the current AIDS plan is
failing.

“I feel that abstinence does not real-
ly work; it didn‘t work in my high
school," Fields said. “Hopefully. they
will see people are concerned about it

and it will work."

The current abstinence-only pro—
gram. the President‘s Emergency Plan
for AIDS Relief. has not been working.
said Joey Owen. president of UK‘s
IFMSA chapter and a second-year med-
ical student. He added that it has been
consuming a substantial percentage of
the funding provided to fight the AIDS
epidemic.

The US. govemment allocates $15
billion to fight AIDS around the world.
and a third of that money promotes pre-
vention in America focusing on absti—

nence. The current government plan
disapproves of safe sex and contracep-
tion as a preventative measure.

“They take one-third of the money
and give it to a program that does not
work." said Ryan Brown. a first-year
medical student.

IFMSA is hoping that the proposed
act will be passed to spend those funds
on contraception and safe sex.

“PATHWAY (the proposed act) is
an amendment to amend the previous
act in order to direct the one-third of

campaign. Davis
decided to use the
campaign as a
fundraising tool to try
to get students to buy

attract people and
spread campus love,"

or not we give them a
hug they leave smiling.
Everyone needs a hug
especially now with

Ribbons raise awareness about violence against women

By Evan Israel
news@kykernel.com

To the student group
MAVAR@UK. one statistic says it
all: 36.5 percent.

That is the percentage of women
on campus who are sexually as-
saulted. physically assaulted or
stalked during their time at UK. ac-
cording a 2004 survey done by
UK's Center for Research on Vio-
lence Against Women.

Men Against Violence and Rape
at UK (MAVAR@UK) have distrib-
uted flyers and white ribbons on

campus this week as part of their
“White Ribbon Campaign" to raise
awareness and help prevent vio-
lence and rape against women on
campus.

Group members asked each per-
son who took a ribbon to wear it as
a pledge to stand against violence
and rape in the UK community.

So far this week, approximately
500 people have taken ribbons. said
group member Brad Kelly.

Kelly said the reasons behind
the group‘s campaign are twofold.

"We're trying to promote the
group and our cause at the same

mummnmam

\

time." Kelly said.

The group holds bimonthly
meetings. in which approximately
l5 to 20 men typically attend. but
Kelly said the group needs more
members to promote greater aware-
ness about the issues faced by
women on campus.

“It‘s (awareness) not qurtc
where it needs to be." Kelly said.

Nick Hopkins. a prespharmacy
senior. agreed but said he has be—
come more aware because of recent
incidents near campus.

“It seems to be a hot topic."
Hopkins said. “There have been tWo

rapes since October "

discussion

news@kykernel.com

Student Govemment wants to dis-
cuss the concems that different colleges
and professional programs have with
tuition increases.

The Operations and Evaluations
Committee saw the first resolution per-
taining to those concerns at last night‘s
meeting from College of Medicine Sen.
Justin Rasner regarding next year‘s
probable tuition increase.

"The cost ol medical school is a na~
tional problem." Rasner said. “It is
something that everyone entering this
profession has to deal with and a con—
tributing factor in whether or not they
decide to pursue medicine as a career
and where they work after they gradu-
ate."

If passed at next week‘s senate
meeting. Rasncr plans to give the reso—
lution to l’royost Kurriblc Subbasw‘amy'.

"We are not unrealistic." Rasher
said. “I don’t expect for my turtion to
not increase next year. but I think it is
important to look ahcad to the future
and address the financial situation that
incoming students will haiye to face."

The resolution asks the [K admiri—
istration to “eliminate the across the
board policy of turtion increases in or-
der to decrease the progression of fi-
nancial burden for medical students."

I.’K\ Top 30 Business Plan calls for
this “across the board" or equal pcr~
ccntagc incrcasc for every academic
program of annual turtion.

“Right now. the cost of one year of
medical school 1\ oycr $20.0le tor resi—
dents and over $40.00” for out of state
students." Rasher said. "There is no
question that I K is still d good deal
when compared to other medical school
programs but it still presents a hugc tr—
rriincial burden "

S(i wants to scc resolutions like lllls
onc front other collcgcs

“I am .i little concerned that this
resolution is showing our concern for
one collcgc oycr .inothcr.“ said .livldlg‘L‘
Sen. Ty lcr Monrcll. "But I hope that w c
can offer [Ills to other collcgc senators
as air issue that Student (imernrncnt
wants brought to the attention of the ad-
ministration. ()thcr colleges may view
education differently than the tollcgc of
medicine. but all college students diarc
the same conccrns about increasing tu
ition."

“This was an c\trcmcly wcll rce
scrirchcd resolution and I hope that we

want the administration to know that

cent of the students."

The expansions of the senate. which
has been discussed for scvcral weeks.
will not be voted on at ncxt week‘s sen—
ate meeting. said Scnalc President
Brent Burchctt. He wants to have more
student feedback before the act is
brought to a vote, Burchctt said the sen-
atc expansion and other legislation will
be discussed during the tip-coming wrn~
ter break.

“Thc senators will be meeting dur-
ing the first week of January for a
work-day where we will iron out the
problems with resolutions regarding cx-
pandrng the Student (iovcmmcnt senate
and how to address election violations."
Burchctt said. “These are very impor-
tant issues and we want to make sure
we have discussed and debated them
thoroughly before we bring them up for
a vote."

HOMEMADE HOLIDAY

STEP BY STEP

 

 

During the holiday
season, focus on

For a thoughtful gift that's easy to put together,
make a homemade picture frame.

Finding Christmas gifts
might be difficult on a student
budget — but not for those who
are crafty. creative and willing
to spend some time.

In the holiday season. the
key word is “thoughtful," not
“costly." Some of the best
Christmas gifts are the ones
that take a lot of work but only
a bit of cash.

There are plenty of re-
sources for putting together that
kind of gift. Numerous discount
stores and craft shops around
UK campus and Lexington of-
fer the necessary materials. And
for those having trouble coming
up with a gift that will be inex-
pensive yet heartwarming. here
are some ideas to use as starting
points.

One potential gift for room-
mates and friends is a decorated
goodie box. which requires de-
coupage glue (available at
Michael's or any craft store). a
box. magazines and some of
the gift receiver’s favorite
goodies.

With the magazines. cut out
pictures that would appeal to
the person that the gift is for.
Cover the picture box by de—
coupaging the pictures onto the
outside.

Once the box is dry. fill it

heartfelt rather than
expensive gifts

BY MEGHAN CAIN I features@kykerne|.com

with soaps. candies or mix
CDs. TJ Maxx offers soaps and
lotions for under $4 each. and
Wal-Mart has an assortment of
candies that cost less than $5
per bag.

Another gift idea for room-
mates and friends is a picture
frame. which requires just pop-
sicle sticks. glue. paint and glit-
ter. Glue popsicle sticks togeth-
er. leaving enough space to
show the picture. After the glue
has dried. paint the frame and
decorate it with glue. Attach a
cardboard back and place the
picture in the frame.

For family members. a nos-
talgia basket is a perfect idea.
Purchase a straw basket at the
local craft store. antique store
or thrift store. Put in childhood
pictures or small gifts that
would remind the recipient of
happy memories.

Coffee lovers and bookish
friends will appreciate the com-
bination of homemade coffee.
an interesting mug and a vin-
tage book. Find a canning jar
that will serve as the container
for the coffee. Then go to a
used bookstore to get a book
that the recipient will enjoy. Fi-
nally. purchase a new coffee
mug. make a mug or find a vin-
tage one.

For those who want to be
especially crafty with their gift,
the Mad Potter store on Tates
Creek Road is a great resource.
It usually costs $12 to $30 to
create a pottery item. and the
experience is well worth the
time and money.

A perfect gift for the folks
is a date. Parents hardly ever
get a chance to go out and just
have fun for free. so a free date
for them makes a great gift.
Purchase a gift card that will
cover the price of tickets and
snacks at the cinema. To go all»
out. make dinner before the
movie and offer to babysit
younger siblings.

Another present for parents
or grandparents is an interview.
Do an interview with them a
few weeks before Christmas
and tell them it is for a class.
Research the year they were
born and document the interest—
ing local and world events. Put
together a booklet with pic—
tures. the research and the inter-
view in a three—ring binder. Not
only will this serve as a
thoughtful gift. but it will also
be an eventual treasure for you
down the road.

"Being Mama has helped me be a better per-

“A Raisin in the Sun” focuses on the human
condition and how a family can stay together
through tough times. Faulk said. She added that the
timing of the show is important.

“Right around the holidays. this is a perfect
time.“ Faulk said.

Morgan Persley. a theater freshman who plays
Beneatha. said many who see the play will learn to
be less materialistic.

“Going away from it. you will appreciate what
you have." Persley said.

The true meaning behind the play is made clear
by thinking about what happens during the course
of it. Persley said.

“Going through it in depth. I've Ieamed so
much more than what I thought was on the sur-
face." Persley said.

Reynolds Building on South
Broadway. The event is in its

"A lot of people don‘t
know anything about the art
department." Adams said.

us to show off our stuff to
the entire community

“This is one time a year
that we get to open our doors
to not only the UK campus.
but also to the entire Lexing-
ton communtty.“ Adams
said.

Stacy Iiggcrs. a second,
year photography graduate
student. has been organi/ing

played and hang up all of the
art.

“Everyone has really
worked well together to
showcase a huge. building-
sized exposition.“ Adams
said.

Artwork displayed will
include work from graduate
and undergraduate students.
Eggers said. Open Studio is
a good chance for undergrad—
uates. who may not been a
part of a showcase before. to
show off their work. she
said.

"This is really a great op-
portunity for them (under-
graduates) to get exposure.“
Eggers said. "When you‘re a
freshman or a sophomore.
it‘s sometimes really hard to
get your work displayed. but
this allows us to show off
work at every level. If you‘re
doing good work. it doesn‘t
matter what level you‘re at.“

A itiried exposition will
also be held with the various
lcycls of art. This exposition
showcases the best work that
was submitted by students
for the event. Adams said.
An outside juror judges the
artwork and chooses the best
lrom it.

Students are not the only
artists whose work will be
on display. though. Eggcrs
said that local artisans will
be at the event showcasing
arts and crafts.

“No matter what they‘re
looking for. people can come
to the event and check out
what people in this area are
producing.“ Eggers said.

"’Iherc aren‘t always a lot of

opportunities to do this."

Open Studio is an event
for members of the art dc-
partmcnt and the art commu-
nity to come together. Adams
said.

"All of the students real-
ly work together to make
this happen." Adams said.
“It‘s a great thing for the ca»
maraderie of our students.“
