IHE KENTUCKY item

Experiments involving a chemical
added to natural gas to give it an odor
caused the evacuations of four campus
buildings yesterday.

The smell of mercaptan, which
makes natural gas smell like rotten
eggs. was reported from Central Cam-
pus buildings such as Patterson Office
Tower. said Lisa Smith. communica-
tions manager with Columbia Gas.

UK spokesman Ralph Derickson
said the Main Building. Patterson 0f-
fice Tower. Mechanical Engineering
Building and Miller Hall were evacuat—
ed just after 5 pm. but no injuries were
reported.

By 5:30 pm. students. faculty and
staff were allowed to re-enter the build-
ings after crews with Columbia Gas and
firefighters with the Lexington Fire De-
partment could not detect any natural
gas.

Natural gas is odorless by itself, and

 

outside of Patterson Office Tower yesterday.

mercaptan is added so it can be easily
detected. Preliminary information yes-
terday traced the mercaptan to experi-
ments at the Chemistry-Physics Build-
mg.

Smith said the mercaptan was re-
leased through the ventilation stacks.
but wind blew the smell toward the
buildings that were evacuated.

Physical Plant Director Jack Apple-
gate said advance warning prevents
fear of a gas leak.

“Usually the researcher gives us a
call in Physical Plant to avoid these sit-
uations. but they didn’t today.”

UK employee
hit and killed
on Limestone

THE KENTUCKY KERNEL

A UK Chandler Medical
Center employee was struck
and killed while crossing
South Limestone Street last
night.

The 58-year-old male,
whose name has not been
released pending notifica-
tion of his family. was
crossing Limestone by
Leader Avenue at 7 pm.
when a Honda Civic driven
by Justin Bryant. 22. of Lex-
ington, hit him, according
to a Lexington Police re-
port. It could not be con-
firmed if Bryant is a UK
student.

The man then fell into
the path of a Chevrolet Mal-
ibu driven by Janifer Wear-

ren. 50. of Lexington, which
struck and killed him, ac-
cording to the report.

He was transported to
the medical center where he
was pronounced dead at
7:10 pm.

Sgt. Paul Simms with
the Lexington Police De-
partment Accident Recon-
struction Unit said the man
was not using the cross-
walk. It was not raining
when the man crossed the
street and alcohol was not a
factor in the crash. Simms
said.

Police are ruling the fa-
tality an accident. and no
charges are being filed
against Wearren or Bryant.

By Tricia McKenny

iii: kmum mm

SG Communications Di-
rector Will Nash and SG
Senator-at-large Michelle
Bishop announced their in-
tent to run for SC president
and vice president last
night in the Gallery of the
William T. Young Library.

Nash and Bishop spoke
to about 200 students and
introduced their platform
ideas and the candidates
running with them for Sen-
ate seats.

John Astle. Nash and
Bishop‘s political director.
introduced the candidates
and their platform and told
supporters they were “in a
position to do something
special at UK."

After thanking students
for their support. Nash told
them he hopes to be able to
move beyond the miscon-
ceptions some students
have of SC.

He said some students
think 80 is a waste of mon-

ey, does not represent stu-
dents‘ needs and should be
done away with; he said he
hopes to move toward a dif-
ferent kind of SO.

“We envision a Student
Government focused on
you. Students are why
Michelle and I are seeking
the positions we are." Nash
said.

Nash outlined their plat-
form and said he plans to
work with a variety of stu-
dents and organizations to
include them in the growth
of UK.

“We recognize the poten-
tial of the people inside and
outside of this room. and
we hope to capitalize on
that potential to help make
UK not only a top-20 public
university. but also a top-20
adventure," he said.

Nash and Bishop‘s plat-
form. “Focusing on You."
emphasizes improving the
quality of student life on
campus.

The platform includes
plans to work toward mak-

ing campus more accessible
to students with disabili-
ties. receiving more finan-
cial accountability from the
university, building a more
consistent university alco-
hol policy. restructuring
dead week and enhancing
relationships with legisla-

tors in Frankfort and Lex-
ington.

Bishop said the Senate
candidates running with
their ticket will be willing
to work for these goals.

Rape reported
in Kirwan III

snrr mom

A woman reported being raped in Kirwan 111 early
Saturday morning. according to UK Police.

According to the report, the victim is not a UK stu-
dent. but the person accused of assaulting her _ an ac-
quaintance — is a UK student. His name and the vic-
tim’s age have not been released.

A nurse at Baptist East Hospital in Louisville con-
tacted UK Police at 10:30 pm. Saturday to report the
rape. which occurred at 4 am.

It is not known if drugs or alcohol were a factor.

Capt. Paul Grant with the UK Police said the inves—
tigation is ongoing and no arrests had been made. The
police declined to release any further details.

UK warns aboutdrugs,
alcohol in date rapes

8y Dariush Shata
THE KENTUCKY kEML

Alcohol and drugs contribute to a significant number
of date rapes. said Lexington police and UK officials yes-

terday

Almost twothirds of date rapes involve alcohol. said
Lexington police statistics. More than onequarter of date

rapes involve drugs.

With that information. UK officials have been taking
steps to inform students in hopes of curbing more rapes.

The first two times Matt
Walsh visited Rupp Arena.
UK fans had no problems
letting the Florida guard
know how they felt about
him.

At times. the 6-foot-6
Gator with the curly blond
hair. trademark headband
and Playboy Playmate girl-
friend seemed to grab fans‘
attention more than the
game did.

The chants. posters and
catcalls got so had last year
that UK Athletic Director
Mitch Barnhart felt com-
pelled to send a letter to
Walsh apologizing for the
way Wildcat fans treated
him.

But although the UK
faithful made up their
minds about Walsh a long
time ago and probably won't
greet him any better when
he and the Gators return

tonight. UK‘s players can't

understand why

Some think it‘s Walsh's
allegiance to the Cats'
biggest Southeastern Con-
ference rival.

“He's kind of a poster
boy for Florida basketball."
said senior guard Josh Car-
rier. “When you're the best
player on a team like that.
you‘re going to hear it from
the opposing fans.“

Some think it’s Walsh's
curly locks.

"Maybe it's his hair —— I
just can't put my finger on
it.“ said senior forward
Chuck Hayes.

And some have no idea at
all.

“They just don't like him
i guess." said junior forward
Kelenna Azubuike. “I don‘t
know what the reason is."

Whatever the reason for
the disdain toward Walsh.
the players are united in one
opinion ~ they all respect
him as a player.

“i don‘t have a problem
with Matt Walsh." said
sophomore forward Bobby
Perry. “1 don't know why the
fans give him such a hard
time. i have a lot of respect
for his game. He's a competi-
tor . , it always takes a team
effort to stop him."

in his first two seasons
with the Gators. Walsh aver-
aged 14 points and five re-
bounds while starting in
each of Florida’s 64 games.

After getting off to an-
other successful start this
year. Walsh suffered a se-
verely sprained ankle in
practice. which forced him
to miss his first action in his
collegiate career:

The injury was original-
ly supposed to keep him out
for at least a month. but the

 Attack the deadliest
since Iraq elections

By John Daniszewski
10$ ANGELKS nuts

BAGHDAD. Iraq Insurgents unleashed their most vio
lent attacks in Iraq since the country's elections Monday.
killing 15 people in mortar and suicide attacks in the north-
ern city of Mosul and 123 more in a car bombing near a police
station northeast of Baghdad.

Turmoil reasserted itself 21s a new batch of election re
turns indicated that a Kurdish coalition racked 11p more
than 1 million Votes in two northern provinces.

The strength of the Kurdish turnout. with one remaining
Kurdish province yet to report. indicated that a coalition put
together by Prime Minister Ayad Allawi. a Shiite Muslim.
will come in third behind the Shiite coalition of Grand Aya-
tollah Ali Sistani and the united Kurdish front. tliminishing
Allawi's chances to retain a leading role in the government.

Results also appeared to confirm low voter participation
in Saluhuddin province. the Sunni-majority central region of
the country that includes Samara and Tikrit. home of Sad-
dam Hussein's extended clan.

Monday‘s attacks broke 21 relative lull in violence since
the Jan. 30 elections and might have been an indication that
the insurgency is trying to reassert itself after millions of
voters defied demands for an election boycott.

As has become usual 'in recent months. Iraqi police and
tecruits bore the brimt of the attacks.

In Mosul. a man carrying a bomb penetrated a hospital
zone where police was staying. The explosion killed him and
12 police officers. Four others were wounded.

"I didn‘t see anything before the blast; we were just talk-
ing and laughing." said Sabah Jabbar. 21. a survivor of the
attack inteiyiewcvi by the Times. “All I remember was seeing
this body set ablaze. then I lost consciousness."

Another man. who declined to give his name. said he
thought he saw a man in blue jeans and a brown jacket com
ing quickly toward him just before the blast. “I am not sure it
was him." the man said. “Now it just seems like I am seeing
it in a dream.“

Mortar attacks in the same city killed three civilians. ln-
surgents have made some of their strongest attacks in Mosul
in recent months. Some insurgents are thought to have
moved there after the conquest of their former stronghold of
Fallujah b_V Mar ines 111 NoVember.

In Baquba 21 tar ming centei northeast of Baghdad on the
edge of the so-called Sunni triangle. 21 cm bomber was di
verted by roadblocks tr om reaching the police station that
was the apparent tai get. I he bomb exploded near a group of
would-be police recruits a shoit distance away.

Scores of young men were standing in line waiting to en-
list. Besides the 13 killed. 17 people W01“ injured. some seri—
011st said I t. (‘ol IVIohammed .lassim. spokesman for the
I)iVala p1 oV inc ial police.

In Senate testimonV last week. the Pentagon estimated
that 1.112 Iraqi soldieis and policemen had (lied in the line of
duty “fighting for a new Iraq." in the words of Paul Wol-
fowitz. US. deputy secretary of Defense He acknowledged
that the estimate was probably low,

It was not clear if the Pentagon estimate included the
scores of recruits who have been killed in attacks at recruit-
ing centers. More than 1.400 I’S. troops have been killed
since the war began.

( ounting of the Votes went ahead with the Kurds who
represent about 1:” 1 percent of Iraq s population showing

V'ersity." Bishop said.

"We reached out to people we
thought were different and had good
ideas. SC in the past has been very
like-minded. so we found people who
can think on their own." she said.

College of Agriculture Senate can-
didate LaFarin Meriwether said she
was eager to work with Nash and
Bishop because their platform focuses

on students.

“There is lots going on directly af-
fecting students that they need to
know about." said Meriwether. an
agricultural economics and public
service and leadership junior.

Some students attending the an-
nouncement agreed that it is impor-
tant for students to be involved in 86.

“Everything they do affects us, so
it is good to have a voice." said Aman-
da Hamilton. a pre-nursing junior.

Bishop said she was excited about
the number of students who turned
out to participate in SC.

“The fact that these students are

So many students attending the an-

take action for the second week in a

ensure the event was properly cleaned
up afterward.

Last week. the Office of
Student Affairs released an
advisory about three recent
date rapes that occurred with-
in the past month and in-
volved students. The advisory
warned students to be aware
of the possibility of date rape
and gave detailed information
about drugs used in date
rapes.

’I‘w0 days after the advise
ry was released, a rape took
place in a dorm room. UK Po
lice said.

The assault. which oc-
curred in Kirwan III at 4 am.
was a date rape. UK police
said.

"It certainly is terrible
news that another case has
happened. and it just rein-
forces that we need to do
every possible thing we can to
prevent these cases from now
on." said Carol Jordan. direc-
tor of the Center for Research
on Violence Against Women
at UK.

Figures collected by the
Lexington Police Department
in 2001 listed 55 percent of
rapes as occurring between a
victim and known attacker. Of
that number, 43.2 percent of
the rapes were between peo
ple who had met the same day.

Police also said that in
2001, the victim and the at-
tacker did not know each oth-
er in 22.5 percent of rapes.
The remainder of rapes oc-
curred between people who
were either in or had been in
a relationship or between
family members.

According to Lexington
police. 26 percent of rapes in-
volved the use of drugs, in-
cluding date-rape drugs or
other medications that can in-
teract with alcohol.

In a UK's survey of 1,010
women on campus. 12.5 per-
cent reported they were vic-
tims of a rape where a date-
rape drug was used.

Lexington police's study
found 65 percent of date rapes
involve the use of alcohol.

“Alcohol is your No. 1
drug-facilitated sexual assault
vehicle." said Anita Capillo,
director of the sexual assault
nurse examiner program
with the Lexington Police De
partment. “What I truly see is
a lack of understanding about
the effects of alcohol."

Capillo said that while 26

percent of the rapes involved
drugs, about 5 percent of the
rapes involved “designer"
drugs, which are used specifi-
cally for the purpose of com-
mitting a rape.

“We get very. very few of
those cases," she said.

Instead, Capillo said inter-
actions between anti-anxiety
or antidepressant medica-
tions and alcohol are usually
the problem. Even over-the-
counter medications can in-
teract with alcohol to produce
a similar effect. although
Capillo said the date-rape
drugs have a much more se-
vere effect on victims.

“They tend to be much.
much sicker." Capillo said.
“Worse than a hangover.“

For those who ingest a
“designer" date-rape drug.
anywhere from 36 to 72 hours
can pass before they regain
enough clarity to realize what
happened.

Otherwise. Capillo ad~
vised students to be aware of
what medications they are
taking.

“My biggest warning
would be. if you are taking a
prescribed drug. pay atten-
tion to the label." she said.

Capillo also advised stu-
dents to have someone they
can trust with them.

“If you're going to go out
and blow everything off. take
someone with you." she said.

“Take a ‘designated friend‘
who is going to stay sober and

Jordan said action can
and should be taken to protect
all women on campus.

“If it's serious for one
woman. as it was this week-
end. it's serious for all of the
UK community." Jordan said.
“While the assault of women
is all too frequent. it is also in-
finitely preventable."

“We strongly encourage
women to reach out to whoev
er they feel comfortable talk-
ing to." she said. "We strongly
encourage them to reach out
so they can get the kind of
support they need."

With mp3 players, cute is all that counts

I suppose it was only a matter of time

before I was infected.

It was the warm glowy center that
caught my eye. Initially I found the or-

ange and white color
combo abrasive. but
soon I came to regard
it at as wondrous and
comforting. like a little
pocket-sized ET. to
sing me songs and
make me feel good all
the time.

Soon the acquisi-

ning the Internet. gath-
ering information.

It‘s tragic. but I‘m just the latest in a
string of victims. But I‘m not ashamed
anymore. I'm ready to come out and tell

the world.
I‘ve caught the iPod bug.

After years of watching friends suc-
cumb to the illness. doling out hundreds
of dollars to secure those little gadgets. I

had to give in.

Seduced by the sleek design and inun-
dated by ads featuring my all-time fa—
vorite band. U2. I realized that $300 was a
small price to pay for what will surely be
infinite happiness, even if that means I
have to live on Ramen noodles and mus-
tard packets for the remainder of this se

mester.

Many a person has tried to talk me
down from jumping into the abyss of
iPod ownership by suggesting alterna-
tives such as the Dell Digital Jukebox
(very enticing with its blue backlit
screen) or the Creative Zen Micro (which
has a mesmerizing Simonesque game on

its Web site).

But Apple. which has obviously made
a pact with a devil. has stolen my heart.

There is little solace in
the fact that most reviews
I‘ve read about the

latest genera-
tion of iPods
have been as
glowing as
their lovely cen-

ters once were. (The
latest generation features a new

click wheel. which I personally consider
to be my nemesis but have decided to ac-

cept.)

The fact of the matter is.
iPods are cute and loveable.
They deserve to be bought
because they‘re the cutest.
You could try to argue with
that logic. but you will lose.
Cute is the definitive reason
for doing anything: for get-
ting a pet. for buying a car.
for investing in the stock

I try to justify this pur-
chase as a much-deserved

But the truth is. I‘ve just
sold my soul. I have become
the person that I always
hated. the one who gives
