Last pleas
Stay at UK

Today is the last day of
classes, which I'm
hoping is exciting
news for all of you. I
could use this time to
talk about the
significance of today
and tell you some
pranks to pull or
things you shouldn't
do, but that's not
going to happen.
Today is going to be
about basketball. Two
of our beloved
Wildcats are leaving
for greener pastures
in the NBA, but will
they really have it
better? Tayshaun
Prince and Keith
Bogans have entered
the NBA Draft that is
taking place on June
20, but neither has
signed with an agent.
That means they can
still drop out of the
draft and return for
another year at UK. I
give you the top IO
reasons why they
should stay.

10. There's always the
chance that you'll go
to a team that has a
shoe endorsement
with some weird
company like Puma
or British Knights.

9. In the NCAA, it only
takes six games to
win the National
Championship,
whereas the NBA can
take more than six
just to get past one
team.

8. Matt Heissenbuttel
can't do it by
himself.

7. No NBA mascot can
compete with our
Wildcat and Scratch,
not even the ones
that do the flips in
the dunking contests.

6. The NBA is full of
ruthless and vile
people, and that's
just the agents.

5. UK could really use a
guy like Prince who
has the wingspan of
a Lear Jet.

4. That wrinkIy-headed
guard from Duke
(Shane Battier if you
have no idea who I'm
referring to) won't
be around next year.

3. Where else are you
going to be able to
walk around and
tower over
everyone?

2. if you won't do it for
the fans or the
students. please
think about the
squirrels. I'm sure
they'll miss you
greatly.

I. If they stay, Jared and
I will guarantee that
the rails will be
funny. If either of us
writes a bad one.
we've given the go
ahead to kick the
crap out of each
other with extreme
prejudice.

filialdlier e-mail coming to UK

Technology: New e-mail software will replace POP account service next
semester, giving access through any Internet connection

By Lamin Swann

ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR

No more disks to check your
e-mail.

UK Informational Systems
will replace the existing POP e-
mail system. which requires a
disk for access to an Internet.
based system.

This summer. UK Informa»
tion Systems will upgrade and
streamline UK e-mail services for

Students to offer a number of
advantages. including any-
where anytime access via the In-
ternet.

"In the past. students have
expressed desires to be able to ac;
cess their email without having
to download it to a computer
disk." said Eugene R. Williams.
UK vice president of Information
Systems.

The new system is called the
Novell Internet Messaging Sys

tem. an Internet-based system
that allows users to access email
from any location using any
browser. such as Netscape or Mi-
crosoft Internet Explorer.

Williams said the new system
is targeted for activation by the
fall 2001 semester.

To keep up with classes and
other activities. students will be
able to use the new system for
time management, a feature that
students requested.

“They‘ve noted the useful-
ness of being able to track assign
ments, meetings and other activi-
ties through an online calendar."
Williams said.

With the new system begin-
ning next semester. students do
not have to worry about getting a
new e-mail account.

“Students will need to create
a new password in the fall."
Williams said. “But they don't
have to worry about contacting
friends. family. instructors. em»
ployers. etc. with a new e-mail
address. They can just continue
to use their current UK POP e-
mail addresses."

A team of experts want to

proactively prepare students. fac-
ulty and staff to smooth the tran-
sition.

Information System special-
ists will include representatives
from the Communications and
Network Systems and the Sup-
port Services Customer Service
Center.

“We've established a dedicat-
ed web site to serve as a primary
communication link between the
IS e-mail project team and stu-
dents." Williams said.

“Students can go to the site
and learn where we are in the im-
plementation process and find
links to other sources of informa-
tion on the system."

19“ ““0 SGA to help

people': Jimmy Glenn

reflects on two long years as president

By Jenny Robertson
S—T—AEF warren

When most students walk
past the William T. Young Li-
brary. they think of upcoming re-
search or impending papers.

When Jimmy Glenn walks
by. he thinks of the budget-
watching and redesigning that
went into the building.

As the exiting Student Gov-
ernment Association president,
Glenn has seen sides of UK in his
two years of office that most stu-
dents will never experience. He
described this privilege as one of
the perks that comes with being
president.

“With the W. T. Young Li-
brary. I know what went into
that," Glenn said. “I know how a
University works."

Glenn's start in SGA came
when his sister. Kim. encouraged
him to participate. His sister was

a senator and she convinced
Glenn to run for freshman sena-
tor. This became his first SGA
position.

“It just kind of snowballed af-
ter that.“ Glenn said. The next
year. Glenn ran for senator-at-
Iarge. He received the second
highest number of votes that
year for senator-at-large. Glenn
attributed this win to his cam-

paign style. which he said in-.

volved talking to different groups
and students all across campus.

“I‘d like to think I was ap
proachable, someone people
could talk to.” Glenn said.

After it became clear that
Glenn was taking an active part
in SGA. he said many students
approached him about running
for president. He stressed that‘he
ran for office in order to aid his
fellow students.

“I wasn‘t going to run for the

years as the
president of the

ment Association.

senior. will stay
at UK for another
year to complete
his degree.

position just to have the posi-
tion," he said. “I wanted to help
people."

If getting to know powerful
University officials and partici-
pate in important University de-
cisions is a benefit that comes
with the SGA office. the sacrifice
of time is certainly one of the dis-
advantages. Glenn estimated that
he spent 50 hours a week in the
SGA oflice. which is more than a
lot of full-time jobs. Glenn said
that the management of time be-
tween acting as president and be-
ing a student is often a difficult
task.

“The teachers were very un-
derstanding,” he said. Glenn said
that if a class had an attendance
policy, he had to talk to the pro-
fessor at the beginning of the se-
mester to explain his duties as
SGA president. “If I wasn’t in
class. they knew it wasn’t be-
cause I was sleeping. It was be-
cause I was at a meeting or work-
ing with SGA."

Committees
may unify SGA

_By Tracyitfrshaw

NE—WS [may M"

Joint committees. made up of three executive appointees
and three senators. could create a more harmonious Student
Government. some members said.

The committees. which will include environmental con-
cerns. academic affairs and Greek affairs. were one of many
changes to the Constitution passed Wednesday night.

But having executive appointees on the committees could
be damaging because the appomtees would be accountable to
the president. not the student body. said Sen. Zach Webb.“I see
this not working in the future." Webb said.

But President Tim Robinson disagreed.

“This is an effort to bring Student Government together. not
to do anything else." Robinson said. He. along with some sena-
tors. suggested that those who opposed the committees only did
so because they were displeased with the committees to which
they were assigned or because they were not appointed com-
mittee chairs.

Another vote in August is needed to include the committees
in the Constitution.

Swimmer tests the strength of relationships

Long distance lovin': Couples separated for the summer find it's a
challenge and wonder if the fire ‘will still burn when they return

By Katie Kramer

common: wraith

[)oes distance really make
the heart grow fonder or does the
out of sight. out of mind cliche
sometimes apply” Long distance
relationships have been a part of
college life for years and it seems
that students will attempt to en-
dure any distance for the sake of
love.

There are several situations

that could bring about the need
for this kind of relationship: leav-
ing a loved one at home in order
to go away to school. falling in
love with someone who will grad
uate a year or two ahead of you.
or meeting someone on Spring
Break and actually keeping in
contact. ,
The costs of a long distance
relationship can be far more than
just the strain on the heart; it is a
strain on the wallet as well.

Phone bills reaching into the
triple digits. gas money for the
long trips back and forth to see
one another. and the lofty credit
card bills for those special din-
ners that come with seeing one
another so seldom all can quickly
empty the piggy bank.

Kristi Johnson. a biology ju-
nior. said it is worth it.

“When I was with someone
that was over 200 miles away. my
phone bill was outrageous every

month." Johnson said. “But Ijus-
tified it by saying that this is
what we would have spent by go-
ing out on that Friday night that
we had to be apart."

Many students are weary of
long distance relationships be‘
cause of trust issues.

“Being so far apart can be a
scary and risky endeavor for
most couples. so each member of
the relationship will have to trust
that the other person's social life
in his or her own town will not be
a threat to the relationship." say
the experts at The Center for Per-
sonal and Professional Develop-

tion whether it was a drug plane, US. officials
say. The single-engine Cessna was flying
straight. level and at a reasonably high altitude
deep into Peru's air space instead of sticking low
to the ground and near the border and taking
evasive maneuvers. the officials said Wednesday.
They spoke on condition of anonymity. Despite
the Americans' expressed uneasiness, and their
expectation that the Peruvian fighter would
make a concrete identification before attacking.
the jet opened fire on the pontoon plane within
minutes Friday night. American missionary

powerful lower house capped Koizumi‘s remark-
able and resounding ~ defeat of the conserva-
tive old-guard to win control of the Liberal Demo
cratic Patty. The upper house then confirmed his
election in a largely ceremonial vote. The Parlia—
ment vote came after his predecessor, Yoshiro

ing an end to a year-old scandal-riddled govern-
ment widely blamed for failing to repair the trou-
bled economy and driving the appeal of the rul-
ing party to record lows. The new premier imme-
diately made good on promises of an unorthodox
government. naming five women to the 17-mem-
ber Cabinet. including the outspoken and popu-
lar Makiko Tanaka as foreign minister.

got to attend included those of
the CR board of trustees. As
SGA president. Glenn also act-
ed as the student representa-
tive on the board.

"It's a different experi
ence than working with other
students on campus." Glenn
said.

He said one of his duties
was to explain the student
viewpoint to the other board
members. many of whom
aren't on campus every day.

Marian Moore Sims. one
of the three alutiini represen-
tatives on the board. said this
is something Gletin has done
well. She said he‘s worked in-
diyidually with board mem-
bers. making phone calls and
rallying support tor issues
like student seating at basket-
ball games.

"He's really made an ef~
fort to put the people in touch
with the students." Sims said.

She described Glenn's in
put for the students as being
vital to board decisions.

"It's the single most im-
portant representative posi—
tion on that board." she said.

As a board member.
Glenn has voted on every-
thing t‘rom tuition increases
to l'li's next presulent. Some
of iliese votes have hroitght
criticism from the student
body and press

(.lenn said it was impor-
tant not to take this too per-
sonally.

“i make decisions for
almoo people." Glenn said.
"and as a result ot‘that. my de-
cisions will be scrutinized."

Howeyer. Glenn said he
has always had the backing of

-
at least one group of student:
on campus: his fraternitf
brothers in Phi Kappa P51.
From helping Glenn with h"
campaign to providing priva
support, Glenn said he is ex-
tremely appreciative of their
effoits. 3‘

”My brothers have always-
been there for me." Glenn
said. "Many times. I've had to"-'
lean on them."

Ben Hayes. Glenn‘s broth-
er in Phi Kappa Psi, said the
support is well earned.

"He‘s a model brother."
Hayes. a history sophomore.
said. “We're all very proud of
Jimmy and all he‘s accom-
plished."

Hayes said the brothers ‘
have been there for Glenn
through good times and bad.
During Glenn‘s campaign last _.
year. Hayes handed out fliers
in the library in support of
Glenn. Also, the brothers’
came to Glenn's impeachment
hearings this year.

"We were there to support ‘
him 110 percent.“ Hayes said."

Because of this support”
and his experience at UK. the
future should prove interest-
ing for Glenn. an electrical en-
gineering major.

However. he‘s not certain
if this future will include
more endeavors in politics.

“I'm not looking to be-
come a politician." Glenn
said. “If the right opportunity
comes along. I'll take it.“

This opportunity could
range from school board
member to US. senator. he
said.

He will only do this. he
said. if there‘s an opportunity
to aid other people.“The good
thing about government is
you get to help so many peo-
ple." he said. “I got in SGA to
help people."

Fifteen years after Chernobyl, problems remain

ASSOClAlED PRESS

KIEV. Ukraine (AP) Fif-
teen years after the Chernobyl
disaster sent a radioactive cloud
over much of Europe. the int‘av
mous plant has tinally been
idled and a beleaguered nation
struggles to deal With its deadly
legacy.

The plant site of the
world‘s worst nuclear accident

continued operation after the
April 36. 1986 explosion and tire.
amid profound international
concern over safety issues

The last reactor \'\‘.'l.\ shut
down in December and the plant
stopped operating for good. The
greatest worry l‘t‘llllllll.\ the

cophagus over the muted rear

tor v~ a $758 million internation-
ally funded project aims to make
it environmentally safe.

Now. with promised West—
ern aid in limbo. the economi-
cally struggling Ukraine must
provide for about 6,000 Cher-
nobyl workers who depended on
the plant to survive.

"The 2001 budget did not
provide for the social needs and
for works related to the plant‘s
closure." Chernobyl director Vi-
taly Tolstonohov said. “We had
to do much work in resolving
the questions of financing. and
have partially solved them.“

The government is frustrat-
ed because it has not received
money promised by the interna-
tional community to compen-

sate for the loss of Chernobyl
electricity, in particular to com-
plete two new reactors.

The European Bank for Re-
construction and Development.
which guides the aid project.
raised new conditions for its
loans.

“1 consider this as unwill-
ingness to fund construction of
the reactors.“ an angry Presi-
dent Leonid Kuchma said re-
cently. "Why do we go with our
hand outstretched. and they al-
ways beat us on our hands by
various conditions? Didn‘t we
know that it would be so when
we were closing down Cher-
nobyl?"

The government faces criti-
cism for not adequately provid-

ing for those who suffered the ef-
fects of Chernobyl‘s fallout,
which contaminated large areas
of the former Soviet republic of
Ukraine, Russia and Belarus.

More than 4,000 who took
part in the hasty and poorly or-
ganized Soviet cleanup effort
have died. the government says,
and more than 70.000 Ukraini-
ans were disabled by the disas-
ter.

About 3.4 million of
Ukraine’s 50 million people, in-
cluding about 1.26 million chil-
dren. are considered affected by
Chernobyl. Of them, 400,000
adults and nearly 1.1 million
children are entitled to state aid.

About 5.000 Chernobyl vic-
tims demonstrated in Kiev over

the weekend. saying many enti—
tled to state aid were not receiv-
ing benefits and compensation
for living on contaminated
land.

Yuriy Andreev. who heads
a victims‘ union, said Cher-
nobyl victims are now owed
$136 million. and the debt grows
by up $7.4 million every month.

Post-Soviet economic dis—
tress forced Ukraine to steadily
underfund Chernobyl-related so-
cial programs, though that has
changed somewhat. The health
of those affected has deteriorat-
ed steadily.

A dramatic surge in thyroid
cancer among Ukrainian chil-
dren was reported last year.
along with a high number of

other diseases among affected
children.

Also, 100 percent of those
evacuated from their homes feel
the disaster “has ruined their
lives and they have no future,"
said Yuriy Saenko. of the Na-
tional Academy of Sciences‘
monitoring department.

Work goes on to stabilize
the sarcophagus, believed to
contain tons of radioactive
waste. Officials dismiss sugges-

‘ tions that the shelter was threat-

ening collapse, but admit its
condition is cause for concern.
“Time is passing and twe
have to understand full well that
it is an object in an unclear
state, due to its grave radiation
conditions." Tolstonohov said.
