Book aims to stop ‘partner stalking’

UK professor authors book on ways to respond to stalking in relationships

By Brandon Cannada
news@kykernel.com

'I‘Wenty-seven percent of women who participat—
ed in a study at UK reported being stalked at some
time after a difficult separation from a partner.

A UK professor has written a book to help
those women cope with what is known as partner
stalking.

T.K. Logan, a professor of behavioral science,
is the author of “Partner Stalking: How Women
Respond, Cope. and Survive.“ She has also com—
pleted a variety of studies on intimate-partner vi~
olence and partner stalking.

Stalking can be defined as the unwanted and

repeated course of conduct directed toward a spe~
cific individual. which induces fear or concern
for safety in the individual being targeted. ac-
cording to a fact sheet distributed by UK
Women‘s Place.

Partner stalking includes this definition. but
applies it to current or former relationships, ac-
cording to Logan‘s book.

“For the book we interviewed 62 women. half

from Fayette County and half from Eastern Ken-
tucky," Logan said.

The book aims to give women who experi-
ence partner stalking a voice to increase aware-
ness about the‘dynamics of such stalking. as well
as to provide information to fill a gap in the cur-

rent partner-stalking literature. according to the
book’s preface.

Stalking has been associated with intimate
partner violence, according to the I998 National
Violence Against Women Survey. Women in vio-
lent relationships are often stalked by that part-
ner. Partner stalkers are more dangerous and
more likely to follow through with violence than
non-partner stalkers.

Dorothy Edwards. director of Women‘s Place,
is especially excited about the advancements Lo—
gan has made in research on partner stalking.

“We can target our efforts more efficiently

But in the basket, they were
asked to place money.

Officer told the students
that one of their classmates

Cats looking for first-ever Win

agalnst

By Jonathan Smith

jsmlthQIiyliernelcorn

Wesley Woodde was in
the minority.

Growing up in LaGrange.
0a., the junior linebacker was
one of few in his hometown that
wasn’t enamored by then-Flori-
da head coach Steve Spurrier.

“I remember everybody
wanted to go to Florida.“ Wood-
yard said. “Everybody looked
up to him."

And Spurrier looked down
on every team in the Southeast-
ern Conference —— especially
UK.

In 12 games at Florida and
one at South Carolina, Spurrier
has beaten the Cats.

l3-up. l3~down.

. “He’s an excellent football
coach." UK head coach Rich
Brooks said. “He has done. I
think. a very good job at South
Carolina. He obviously did a
great job at Florida."

While lording over the Cats.
Spurrier has also ruled the SEC.
winning six conference champi-
onships.

“He‘s a great coach and had
great talent around him." wide
receiver Keenan Burton said.
“We have to come out and exe—
cute and try to do the things that
we didn’t do against him last
year."

In those 13 wins. the Cats
were rarely competitive. The
only close game was a 24-20
last~second loss in I993.

Last year. the Cats lost 44-
16. but trailed by only a point
midway through the third quar-
ter after scoring a touchdown.
Following a punt on their next
drive, the Cats fumbled four
times over seven plays.

“It’s hard to win a game. or
make it a competitive game. or
be in the game and have a
chance to win when you do
that," Brooks said.

During his career. Spurrier
has changed the way football
was — and still is ‘ played in
the SEC. He shifted the confer-
ence from a smash-mouth run-
ning league. to an air‘it-out
passing league.

Chances are. he‘ll stick to
that plan this weekend after
Central Michigan threw for 4]]
yards against the Cats.

“They‘re going to try to pass
against us." Woodyard said.
“We have to step up defensively.

Wide receiver Keenan Burton returns a kickoff in Saturday's game against Central Michigan Steve Snurrier
brings his South Carolina Gamecocks into Lexington having never lost to UK in his coaching career ”He's a great
coach and had great talent around him,” Burton said

coverage-wise and run—wise."

Woodyard added that the
reason Spurrier has been so suc»
cessful against UK and the rest
of the league is that he is so
compatible With his players.

“He knows how to relate to
his offensive players." Wood-
yard said. "They respect him.
and they want to go out and
make plays."

Heading into the matchup.
the players said they know
Spurrier has their number. btit
added that the previous games
will have no effect on this week-
end's game.

“We‘re aware of that."
Woodyard said. "But that‘s in
the past. We're looking forward
to this year. We‘re trying to do
big things here: we want the
program to move in the right di—
rection, '
lniury update

Tight end Tyler Sexton and
defensive linemen Jamil Paris
and Corey Peters underwent
magnetic—resonance imaging
tests yesterday for medial collat—
eral ligament injuries. Brooks
said. None of the three players
will play this week.

Defensive tackle Ricky
Abren is in a cast for an injured

wrist. He will be held out of

practice on Tuesday. but Brooks
expects him to practice chnes~
day. Brooks also said Rafael
Little will be sit out practice
Tuesday because of a lingering
knee injury. but he expects Lit-
tle to practice Wednesday.

To govern well. one must at least ShOW up

Student Government didn‘t get anything of
substance done at its Sept. 27 meeting. But
their inaction wasn't due to legislative bickerv
ing or a lack of items on the agenda.

No. it was because not enough senators
showed up for the Senate to meet quorum.
Two-thirds of the body must be present for
votes on legislation to be held. but only lo
senators — about half of the full Senate ~
showed up.

Because of the other senators' absence. the
matters scheduled for the evening _ including
a resolution about diversity. a constitutional
amendment to allow Web—based elections. and
appointments to SG‘s executive branch and the
University Appeals Board ~ went undecided.

The absent senators also missed two im-
portant presentations by UK administrators.

KERNEL EDITORIAL

One was by Patricia Terrell. vice president for
student affairs. on the opening of a resource
center for students who are gay. lesbian. bisex-
ual. transgender or questioning. The other was
Provost Kumble Subbaswamy's discussion of
the university‘s three—year strategic plan.

There are multiple possible reasons for the
widespread absenteeism. The meeting was
scheduled for earlier than usual. said Senate
President Brent Burchett. Last week was also
the first wave of tests and papers for many
students.

And it was Greek Week as well. During
Greek Week. fraternities and sororities receive
points for having more of their members show

 

up to scheduled events. Many senators are in
Greek organizations. and it is possible those
who missed the meeting were at these events.

No matter where the absent senators
were. missing the meeting is inexcusable. SG
should be their first priority, and they should
schedule their social lives and study time
around it (within reason. of course). As
Burchett said at the meeting. "Sometimes we
have to give up certain things." It is rather im-
probable that half of senators had such press-
ing commitments that they couldn‘t make the
meeting under any circumstance.

SG isn't a meaningless. do-nothing puppet
“government" — it‘s a real organization with a
large budget and significant responsibility. lts
officials need to treat it as such. at the very
least by showing up at biweekly meetings.

If a sense of civic duty doesn‘t motivate
them. perhaps fear will. 80 has a good record
of getting rid of absentee senators; last year.

 

SG senators should have scheduled
their study time and Greek Week
participation around the Senate
instead of missing the meeting.

 

Fredy Perry (aka “Fredy P“) was forced to re-
sign his seat after missing three Senate meet-
ings.

Whatever may motivate them.'SG senators
need to avoid a repeat of last week‘s meeting.

 

NYC ‘takes the cake’

 

with trans fat ban

Kentuckians are almost constantly
bombarded with news of the state’s
health woes. Among the most frequent-
ly cited statistics is Kentucky's obesity
rate. which stands at 26.7 percent for
adults ~ the fifth-highest in the coun-
try - according to a report released
this year.

In contrast. New York City‘s obesi—
ty rate is roughly 20 percent. And the
city's Board of Health thinks it has a
solution.

Last week. a plan was announced
that would eliminate synthetic fats
from New York restaurants. The sub-
stance in question is partially hydro-
gentated oil. which has been used in
shortenings and frying oils for decades.
The fats are used for frying such items
as french fries and doughnuts.

The problem is that trans fats have
been tied to increased rates in obesity
and coronary heart disease. As a result.

KERNEL EDITORIAL

some fast food chains have voluntarily
switched to non-hydrogenated cooking
oil to reduce trans fats. In June. both
Wendy’s and Panera Bread made the
switch away from artificial trans fats.

So it would appear that the market
is making its own corrections for such
an unhealthy product. While it would
obviously benefit citizens to reduce or
eliminate trans fat from their diets. it is
not the responsibility of the New York
City Board of Health or any other gov-
emment body to do so.

Ultimately. this issue boils down to
personal choice and responsibility. If
New Yorkers or anyone else want to
eliminate trans fat from their diet. it is
their responsibility to eat healthily.

Trans fat is bad for you. Laws that
eliminate choice. however. are worse.

 

Troops' departure

brings out emotion,
appreciation

Tears slowly slid down her face
as she grasped her husband of near-
ly ll years.

Her hus-
band pulled her
as close to him
as he possibly
could.

They held
each other.

He got on
the bus.

And then he
left.

Ten feet
away. a couple
in their very
early twenties
hid between
two buses. hugging and kissing in
hopes that he wouldn‘t take the fi—
nal step onto the bus.

Twenty feet away. a mother and
a father stood under an umbrella.
holding each other as their only
means of standing up as the bus
driver started the engine. The moth—
er held a tissue and fit her head un-
der her husband‘s shoulder as she
attempted to pull her hand away
from wiping tcars long enough to
raise her hand to wave good bye.
Meanwhile. the father. a grown
man. was weeping out loud.

In the midst of all the hugs.
kisses. prayers and tears stood an-
other man. Single and alone. he
strolled through the other soldiers.
watching and smoking a cigarette.

And then there was me.

I stood letting every rain drop
hit me without cycr feeling wet. I
tried to be to strong and not cry.
But it was impossible.

This scene was only a week and
a half ago in London. Ky.. where I
watched more than I40 American
soldiers load a bus heading to
Camp Shelby in Hattiesburg. Miss.
from which they will then all be
sent to fight in Iraq,

I know the Iraq war has been
going on for a long time. but I had—
