Cloning Bad

Natural
Selection

All right folks, today is
my list birthday so
cut me some slack on
the following article.
This is one that I
wrote a few weeks
ago for Dailycomix. i
hope you enjoy.

This summer the House
of Representatives
banned the cloning of
cells and embryos.
which many argue, is
a digressive step in
the evolution of
science. However.
those so-called
"scientists" are
forgetting to look at
all the repercussions
of carbon-coping
people. I suggest
they take a close
look at the following
list of problems
before thinking about
fiddling with the
building blocks of life
again.

Think of all the pranks
that twins play on
gullible people. The
market would
become saturated
with the "trading
places" joke.

Sex education is hard
enough to teach
these days without
having to get into
asexual reproduction.

The movie Multiplicity
with Michael Keaton
should have taught
us all a valuable
lesson in cloning:
Keaton should stick
to Batman movies.

What are the chances
that the clones will
agree to our plans of
making them all
servants and stunt
doubles?

Cloning would be
primarily used to find
out for yourself how
well you kiss and how
"good" you really
are. That judgment
should be left to the
paid professionals:
aka prostitutes.

I don't know about you,
but I wouldn't want
to kick off my acting
career with a
Doublemint gum
commercial.

What do you think would
happen if women
found out they could
have kids by
themselves? They'd
only keep us around
to open jars and
reach the higher
shelves.

Think of all the people
that annoy you and
then, literally,
multiply them by two.
Not so much fun
anymore is it?

If there are two of you,
one has to be evil.
Do you want to be
put in the situation
where you and your
clone are fighting

The intersection of Rose and Lime-
stone streets closed in May and was
scheduled to reopen last week. But utili-
ty problems in that area of campus have
pushed the completion date well into
September.

Jeff Edwards, supervisor of the con
struction site for Lexington contractor
D.W. Wilburn, is frustrated by the de-
lays. He said the project is weeks behind
and his company is not being compensat-
ed for money lost.

“Our biggest problem is we can't get

Edwards and his construction staff
have halted the project three times for
utility work not directly related to the in-
tersection. He said some city sewer. gas
and water lines have to be rebuilt or re-
placed before he can resume construe
tion.

Students are growing impatient with
the postponements as well. Especially
Josh Watkins. a junior graphics design
major.

“It‘s just a constant hassle." he said.
“When they close a road. there‘s always
problems."

Edwards said he would rather wait
for these problems to be resolved. He

said that otherwise the project would
have to be redone increasing its cost and
creating more delays.

“We want to make sure we get it
right." he said.

When Rose Street reopens in late
September it will intersect with South
Limestone at a 90degree angle in front of
the new Aging/Allied Health Building.

Edwards. who also oversees con-
struction of the building. said it should
be finished on schedule. It is slated for
completion in the spring of 2002.

Two Cats suspended by NCAA for four games

By Will Nesser

The NCAA announced the suspension
oftwo IIK football players yesterday. some
what blindsidiiig the learn.

“I don‘t know about anybody else but
it took me by surprise." defensive coordi-
nator John Goodner said of the ruling.
which will suspend senior starting line
backer Jamal White and sophomore back-
up receiver Brad Pyatt for the season‘s
first four games.

White's loss could greatly affect Good-
ner's defense. which was already thin at
linebacker.

Goodner said seniors (‘hris Gayton
and Mike Beirne Will battle to replace
White. but neither player is an ideal re-
placement for the 6-foot-3. ZZZ-pound

safety spot. is undersized at stoma. 20.3-

games last season.

Goodner said he heard rumors of the
upcoming suspension late
last week and began prac-
ticing Gayton at line
backer.

If Gayton stay: at
linebacker. senior Patrick
Wiggins should start at
outside safety. Goodnei‘
said.

Pyatt's versatility will
also be missed.

“Brad‘s a very key re
ceiver for us." sophomore quarterback
Jared Lorenzen said. “He can go up and
catch the big balls when we need him. he

Coach Guy Moi‘riss who had preyi

pending suspensions. noted that the type
of Violation must have triggered the an
noiincement and stiff penalty

"I think it was because of the academic
part. and that kind of stuff
goes against everything
the NCAA stands for." he
said.

The Violations
stemmed from actions by
former recruiting coordi
nator (‘Iaude Bassett and

ported to the NCAA by
school officials after an
internal investigation.

Morriss‘ allusion to the "academic"
nature of the Violations suggests the alle

asked to be reinstated. Bell also ruled a
tenth player ineligible on Aug 16

Bell said eight of the 111 players have
since been reinstated by the NCAA and
that only White and Pyatt Will be
suspended.

Bell added that White and Pyatt can
appeal their rulings, which could allow
them to retum sooner than expected.

Jack Miller. manager of

capital projects for the univer
sity. said the construction is
part of a campus-wide project
to improve anti expand utility
services for llK's growing

He said the new high-volt

intended to accommodate fu-

services on campus.

 

COMPUTERS

Continued from page At

“Standarization means
students only need to purchase
one wireless card for their lap-
tops to enable them to move
throughout the campus while
maintaining an active Internet
connection." he said. Friskney
added that many of the newer
laptops already have the card
installed.

llli will eventually add ac-
cess points at l,l‘("s ()swald

later. he said Other future
plans include cybercafos. One

dent (‘outor in October and a
second is scheduled to open at
the (‘ommons in January 2002.

Wireless technology
works by using radio waves
instead of network cables to
transmit and receive informa
tioii. Friskney said the access
points use the same radio spec
trum as wiroloss phones liseri
inside the home.

”We didn't do this just to
aggravate students," he said.

Ralitza Kroumova. a fi-
nance sophomore, said the
construction is “very unsight-
ly and disruptive." but she can
see why the improvements are
necessary.

“1 approve of the end res
suit. but they need to do it
faster." she said. “Or they
need to do it during the sum
mer."

Miller said the project
should be finished by late Sep-
tember.

Each access point acts as a

”She knew me well.” llolt
said "It seemed like 1 was in

llolt may have gotten along
With her adviser. but for those
students who do not. they are
not trapped

"Students need to reallZe
that it they don't have a good
not king relationship with their
advisers. they can always re
quest a a hange." than said

Students can switch their
advisers by going to their major
or department offices

Courtney Sullivan. a com-
munications senior. said it
seems that not all advisers are
prepared to advise students.

“The ones that are profes
sors seem more helpful than
those who are just specifically
advisers." she said

Advisers at UK include
both professional advisers and
faculty members. Professionals
in central advising typicallv
have a background in student
services or student personnel.
Faculty advisers‘ backgrounds
are in their specific disciplines

"The advisers twhoi are in
charge of hundreds and hun-
dreds of students just aren't
helpful." Sullivan said. "lt
seems you are only recogniZed
as a number "

Though Holt said she found
the opposite to be true

“My undeclared

“She really helped me ex-
plore the options I'K had to of
fer and decide on the major that
was best for me."

than said advisers are here
to help students. but it involves
cooperation on both sides

“Advising is a partnership
between the students and the
advisers.”
