LIGHTS UP RUPP

Gators enter conference tilt with Cats as first No. I-ranked opponent to visit Rupp Arena
since the 1979 Indiana Hoosiers faced UK's defending national champions

By Alex Williams
STAFF WRITER

It will be a battle of UK‘s defense and Florida's of-
fense tonight at Rupp Arena when the No. 6 Cats host
the No. 1 Gators for sole possession of first place in the
Southeastern Conference.

Florida (162. 7-0 SEC) arrives in Lexing-
ton with a freshly minted No. 1 ranking and
a 14-game winning streak. The Gators‘ ros-
ter stretches 10-deep with every player ca~
,. pable of an explosive scoring burst.
Led by precocious freshmen Anthony
Roberson and Matt Walsh, and the reemer-
‘ gence of senior guard Brett Nelson. the
. Gators are arguably the hottest team in the
land.
Three of their five starters aver-
age double figures, led by senior
forward Matt Bonner with 14.3
points a game in conference action.
After a SEC scoring slump. Nelson
had a breakout game against LSU.
nailing 7-of-11 3-pointers for a
season-high 25 points.
The Gators work the
high-low offense with versa-
tile 6-foot—9 center David Lee
and 6-foot-10 Bonner.
“They're still getting the
ball inside. but more of their
shots are coming from the
perimeter because they have bet-
ter perimeter guys." said UK coach
Tubby Smith. “A guy like Matt Bonner has gone inside more,
and a guy like David Lee is very athletic and mobile as a cen-
ter, although he‘s more of a forward. But you end up ha '
to match him up against your center and he creates 11w
lems because of his mobility and agility "

took the unusual step of issu-

The inspectors found the

Baghdad. the Iraqi News
Agency said, describing it as

Competition: Field of candidates for presidency
growing with deadline for filing a month away

By Paul Leightty

STAFF WRITER

Student Government elections
are a month and a half away, and
presidential hopefuls are preparing
for the campus campaign season.

Matt Falk and running mate
James Monroe. and David Hutchin-
son and running mate Iesli Proffitt,
have announced their intent to run.
Rachel Watts and running mate
Matt Rippetoe, along with Kyle Jew-
ell and running mate Brianna Shaf-
fer, plan to announce their candida-
cy soon.

The deadline for filing is March
5. Elections will be April 2 and 3.

Candidates have begun shaping
their campaign platforms, their
presidential goals and how they
would run the executive office.

Watts and Rippetoe declined to
talk about their campaign until
Monday.

MaflFaIKJunesMoivoe

Falk said his major focus as
president would be on “academics,
accountability and campus life." He
said he would expect more contribu-
tions from all members of SG.

“A team full of ‘yes-men’ doesn’t
get you anything,” he said. “I want
to enforce responsibility on things
like attendance at $6 and University
Senate meetings."

Falk is the Business and Eco
nomics senator in SG, and a finance
and management junior. This is his
first year in SG. and he is also serv-
ing on the University Senate Coun-
cil and the University Senate.

Monroe is an at-large senator
and an economics and management
junior. He has been a senator since
his freshman year.

Falk said he would work on lib
eralizing the campus alcohol policy,
bringing well-known speakers to
campus and returning W.T. Young
Library to its previous 24-hour
schedule.

Falk said that to prevent a re-
play of the voter registration card
ordeal, “I would ensure that com-
munication with [86] officers. sen-
ators and the campus in general
would be improv

Hutchinson said he would em-
phasize “openness and inclusive
ness” as president, and ensure that
all 86 financial records and other
files are available for review by
every member of the student body.

“We’re not a secret society," he
said. Hutchinson is a marketing
management senior and an at-large
senator.

His SG experience includes
serving previously as at—large sena-
tor and as an environmental con-
cerns committee co-chair.

Proffitt is a history junior. and
has served as $6 senate coordinator
and at-large senator. among other of-
fioes.

Hutchinson said he would es-
tablish an internship program
where students would learn how to
lobby local and state government.

 

POTENTIAL
CANDIDATES

Iraq. however. rarely re-
ports on inspectors‘ findings.
The report appeared timed to
give Iraq‘s version of events
before the discovery was pub
licized by the United Nations.

The discovery last month
of 12 empty chemical war-
heads — ~ which the Iraqis con-
sidered an oversight on their
part was cited by the Unit-
ed States as an example of
Baghdad failing to comply
with UN. Resolution 1441.

Iraq is especially sensi-
tive to such allegations before
Secretary of State Colin Pow-
ell‘s appearance before the Se
curity Council on Wednesday

Powell plans to present evi-
dence that Iraqi President
Saddam Hussein has retained
his arsenal of weapons of
mass destruction.

Photographs of mobile
biological weapons installa-
tions and transcripts of con-
versations among Iraqi offi-
cials are part of the evidence
Powell will present to the
council Wednesday, a Bush
administration official said.

Iraq denies holding any
banned biological. chemical
or nuclear weapons but is
under pressure to improve
cooperation with UN. in-
spectors.

a

Britain insist Saddam is hid-
ing weaponry and say they
will disarm Iraq by force if
necessary. The United States
has deployed 90.000 troops in
the Gulf region. a number
that may double soon.
Hoping to avert war. the
two chief U.N. weapons in-
spectors travel to Iraq later
this week in an attempt to
win meaningful concessions
from the Iraqis on recon»
naissance U2 flights and pri-
vate interviews with Iraqi
scientists two of the is-
sues the inspectors say have
stalled progress so far.

Other project ideas include in-
creased emphasis on and funding to
students‘ community service efforts
and regular meetings between $6
and other student
organizations.

Hutchinson said that to prevent
a repeat of SG‘s recent voter regis-
tration card experience, he would
first emphasize “just being open
about everything that $0 is doing.”
and also focus on communication
and teamwork within SG.

UK study: Monitoring
ovarian cysts works

Research: Study suggests surgery often unnecessary
if ovarian cysts routinely monitored by ultrasound

By Rebecca Neal
S'Aff WRiltR

The results of a 15~year UK research study released
Monday said that the risk of developing cancer from sim»
ple ovarian cysts is low if the cysts are routinely moni-
tored by an ultrasound.

The Ovarian (‘ancer Screening l’roject focused on
13,000 piisrmenopausal women over the age of 50 Of
those. about 18 percent developed ovarian cysts. which
were monitored using ultrasound. A cyst is a fluid-filled
SLIC.

When ovarian cysts are detected. the normal proce-
dure is to hat e the affected ovary surgically removed. A
more drastic move would be a complete hysterectomy.
which is the removal of the woman‘s uterus

The study finds that surgery isn‘t necessary tnost of
the time. said one of the study‘s doctors.

“We found that the majority of cysts will resolve on
their own with no surgical intervention.“ said Dr. Susan
Modesitt. an assistant professor in gynocologic oncology.

Of the cysts found in the study's patients. about 70 per-
cent went away on their own within three to six months af-
ter detection. she said.

Modesitt said that regardless of the type of surgery i
open-abdomen or a less invasive laproscopic procedure ——
there are risks involved and recovery can be hard on the
patient.

Modesitt said the focus of the study was to determine
if ultrasound could pick up signs of ovarian cancer early.
Early detection is a key to treating the disease. she said.

“When ovarian cancer is usually caught. it's in its late
stages and is usually incurable at that point." she said.

About 18.000 women were enrolled in the study. which
lasted from 1987 to 2002. Approximately 15.000 women over
age 50 participated in the study.

Overall. there were 27 cancer cases. 3.000 women devel-
oped cysts but no sign of ovarian cancer.

“All of the cystic tumors that were removed were be-
nign." Modesitt said.

The American Cancer Society reports that ovarian
cancer is the sixth-leading killer of women and that about
23.000 women will be diagnosed with it this year.

 

Corrections

There was an error in the Friday Jan. 31. 2003 story ti-
tled “Luck. loot. laughter: Chinese New Year." Chen-Hung

tion. not the Chinese Student Association.

Jewell said that his cam-
paign‘s main theme is “lead-
ership that counts."

"Getting as many stu-
dents involved as possible is
an imperative.“ he said.

Jewell. a political sci-
ence junior. served as an 80
zit-large senator and as vice
president of the LCC SG.

Jewell said Shaffer, a po
litical science and Spanish
sophomore. has no experi-
ence in 80. which would

sen/e as an asset by bring»
ing an outsider with experi-
ence in other student orga
nizations to the top ranks of
80, he said.

Jewell said he plans to
work on collaboration with
Student Activities Board. iii-
creasing the number of
scholarships SG offers and
coordinating with the UK
Athletics department to
hold an extra UK basketball
game for students only.

Jewell said the mistake
80 made by failing to turn
in 747 voter registration
cards could have been pre-
vented. "You just have to get
things done when they need
to be done. I would just be a
responsible leader.“ he said.

 

 

 

SPEECH

Continued from page 1

you go in and take over Iraq.
do you solve the problem or
make it worse? I go for the
second.

“There is only one
country in this world that
thinks that Iraq is a threat
to them: the United States,“
Peck said.

Peck. a regular com-
mentator in the national
media. emphasizes the im-
portance of talking in the
presence of conflict and
says the United States
hasn’t tried.

“Our nation is proud in
the role it has played when
it has gotten people to talk."
Peck said. “We don’t talk to

Iraq and haven't in 12
years.“

Peck will argue his case
that the United States has
been engaged in dynamic
hypocrisy regarding Iraq.

“In Vietnam. we
opened peace talks in Paris.
We had committees and del-
egations. not because we
trust these people. but be-
cause we didn‘t trust
them.“ Peck said. “Before
you start ordering up body
bags. you ought to consider
other ways.“

The point of disliking
another regime is not a rea-
son to discount and ignore
diplomacy. he said.

“You don‘ t have to love
Saddam Hussein or insist
that Arafat and Sharon in-
termarry or go to each oth-
ers cocktail parties." Peck
said.

Peck’s talk will be held
at 8 pm. tonight in room 206
of the Student Center.

Before you start ordering
up body bags, you ought to
consider other ways.”

Lennie (lallant. a (‘ana-
iliaii award winning artist.
will be performing a free
concert at the Newman
Center at 8 pm.

As an lletime award
w inner from the East (‘oast

household name in his nar
the Canada.

The artist is stopping in
Lexington on his way to
participate in the National
Songwriter (,‘onvention
held in Nashville the follow-
ing weekend.

"I have been a fan of

his music for sortie time,"
said Newman (‘enter
parishioner Lix (‘roni 1
"The timing is perfect that
he would be able to come
here and we would be able

to hold this performance.”

Even those not familiar
with (lallant‘s music wel-
come the opportunity for
him to come here.

“It is very exciting
when new artists perform
here." said marketing and
management junior .lulia
Whitton. specially a
(‘anadian artist. I enjoy
Shania Twain and (‘eline
Dion's music. but it will be
llll'l‘ to hear a male (‘anadi—
an artist fora change."

ing forward to making this
trip. ile has previously been
to Lexington when visiting
his sister and said the spe—
ricnce was very positive.

"1 love playing in the
states." said (‘iallant when
asked how US. audiences
compared with Canadian
ones.

"The crowds (in the
United States) are very effu—
sive. very outgoing. I always

Canada. just perhaps a lit-
tle more reserved."

The crowd at UK can
expect an evening with a
well-versed entertainer. As
a bilingual artist. Gallant
will be performing in Eng—
lish but plans on throwing
in a couple French songs
"to add a little flavor."

Gallant's stopover in
Lexi gton is more than just
a chance for UK students to

The Newman Center is
putting on this free concert

ceive enough donate“... to

dents to go on a student

Never a good reason
0 rush Rupp's floor

North Carolina fans stormed the court after the

No. 1 Florida comes to town tonight, and Cat
fans with an appreciation for tradition are cross-

ing their fingers.

Sure, they’ re worried about the talented
Gators possibly snapping UK’s 10- game winning
streak. But the bigger threat is what might fol-
low a victory: students storming the court.

Post-game celebrations were the rage during
football season last fall. and the trend has car-
ried over to basketball. Some are understand-
able. such as the Florida State fans who rushed
the floor after the Seminoles defeated Duke Sun-
day. Or the Louisiana State students who poured
on the court after the school’s victory against
then- No. 1 Arizona. FSU consistently finishes in
the bottom-third of the Atlantic Coast Confer-
ence. and LSU hasn’t mattered on the national
scene since Shaquille O’Neal was a Tiger.

Yet other victory celebrations are puzzling.

Tar Heels’ win against Connecticut Jan. 18. The
Tar Heels have struggled lately, but UNC is still
second all-time in wins and is one of the best
programs in America. Do the students there
now have no respect for tradition?

Then there’s Maryland, the reigning national
champion, whose students rushed the court af-
ter the Terrapins defeated Duke Jan. 18. This
game has become the premier rivalry in college
basketball, but is there ever a reason for the de-
fending champs to rush the floor?

All of this begs a more pertinent question: Is
there ever a reason for UK fans to rush the
court? Here’s one vote for a resounding “no

UK is first in all-time wins and second in na-
tional titles won. Fans should respect and honor
that tradition. There is always room for victory
celebrations, but never on the Rupp Arena floor.

KERNEL COLUMNIST

Restriction on paper use is not
the way to solve budget crunch

Like thousands of other
devoted Kernel readers. I
have seen and read the arti»
cles regarding the impend-
ing school budget reductions

but I can honestly say that
I never thought much about
them.

I chalked it up to a shift
in political winds and blew it
off like I do most of the edu-
cational issues that filter
down from Frankfort

It is for this reason I was
taken aback and quite
frankly shocked when one of
my professors announced to
the class that due to the bud
get crunch he was going to
be unable to provide home-
work solution sets to each
student.

He went on to say that he
would only be able to provide
a few sets. and we would ei
ther have to fight over them
or make arrangements to

make a copy of them on our
own. During this he ex-
plained the department had
received a memo. from on
high. which outlined several
ways to keep cost down.
Among these items was the
printing of materials.

I understand the need to
keep cost down to help offset
the millions that are being
cut from the budget. but give
me a break.

The copy machines have
already been purchased or
leased and paper supplies lit-
ter the storage rooms around
campus. I can‘t say that leav-
ing machines dormant while
we wait until we can once
again afford paper strikes
me as a money saving stroke
of genius.

All that l have been read-
ing about over the last couple
of weeks is how I‘ll be hav'
mg class with more students.

fewer classes to choose from
and higher tuition. These
small efforts to save fractions
of a cent strike me as noth-
ing more than smoke and
mirrors.

Maybe the faculty and
students won‘t be as upset
when we put more students
in their classes. fail to give
them raises and raise their
tuition because we tried to
avoid it all by cutting back
on office supplies. Small-
scale reduction in spending
can‘t possibly be beneficial
enough to justify the incon-
venience.

Tell me how this can pos-
sibly make a difference on a
campus where we erect new
buildings and parking struc-
tures every year. where we
accidentally burn down
buildings after we finish ren»
ovating them. and where I
pay at least $20 a month in

parking fines. The university
manages to spend all of this
money each year. and I still
haven‘t found a building on
campus with soft toilet paper.

I only wish I had been
able to see this memo I was
told about: perhaps it was
suggested professors refrain
from using chalk boards to
reduce chalk consumption.

It doesn‘t really matter
how many little things they
cut back on. The millions
that are going to be stripped
from the UK budget will be
made up in the form of fewer
jobs. fewer classes. higher tu-
ition. fewer raises and more
students not by having to
order 50 less boxes of paper a
month.

Jared Whaien is a mechanical
engineering junior. His views do
not necessarily represent those

of the Kernel.

Perhaps it was suggested professors
refrain from using chalk boards to
reduce chalk consumption.’

After latest embarrassment,
UK should do away with 56

To the Editor:

Last year I attempted to vote for the Student Govern-
ment election at LCC. but because the polls were not open.
I was unable to vote.

Since then. I have had a cynical view of SG. which
seems determined to disenfranchise students. It appears
to me the only thing we hear about SG is scandal or cor-
ruption. Even without Timmy the Tyrant" SG only
serves as the Tim Robinson fan club which the student
body largely ignores.

The w11t1ng is on the wall. however. Robinsons 15
minutes are up. The SC Senate can either realize this and

take action or go down with him. If the senators were
smart they would do some damage control and attempt to
salvage what 5 left of SG 3 reputation by distancing them-
selves from Robinson with an impeachment or at least
a censure.

Because they won't. I propose that the UK Board of
Trustees abolish SG. Think about it: Not only can UK
avoid future scandalous headlines. of which there have
been many. but UK can also save hundreds of thousands
