Misguided efforts

A whale of a
mistake

There is a tape from a
TV news show in
Oregon that shows
the removal of a 45-
foot. B-ton dead
whale. The
responsibility for
getting rid of it was
placed on the State
Highway Division for
an unknown reason.

The engineers, short on
intellect and
equipment, hit upon
the plan of blowing
up the whale with
dynamite. This was
supposed to leave
small bits that the
seagulls would eat. A
textbook whale
removal.

They then put a half-ton
of dynamite next to
the whale and set it
off. What follows, on
the videotape, is the
most wonderful event
in the history of
whale removal. First
you see the carcass
vanish in a blast of
smoke and flame.
Then you hear
spectators shouting
"Yayy!" and "Wheel"
Then the crowd's
tone changes. You
hear a new sound
like “splud.” You
hear a woman's voice
shouting "Here come
pieces of MY
GOD!" Something
then smears the
camera lens.

Later, the reporter
explains: "The humor
of the entire
situation suddenly
gave way to a run for
survival as huge
chunks of whale
blubber fell
everywhere."

One piece caved in the
roof of a car parked
more than a quarter
of a mile away.
Remaining on the
beach were several
rotting whale sectors
the size of
condominium units.
There was no sign of
the seagulls who had
no doubt
permanently
relocated to
Delaware or some
other calm place.

Where there's smoke Discarded cigarette starts early-
morning blaze; $10,000 in damage done to Greg Page

By Pat Clem
ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR

Some residents of Greg Page Apartv
ments had quite a scare early yesterday
morning. Two apartments caught on fire
at the student housing complex off Alum-
ni Drive.

“There was fire shooting out of the
top of the door." said Kimberly Howard. a
pre-pharmacy junior who lives in Apt.
108 of Greg Page.

A 911 emergency call was placed at
12:32 yesterday morning for a fire in Apt.
108 and 110 of Greg Page. Emergency ver
hicles arrived at the scene soon after.

“I was taking a bath. and my room-
mate came running down the hall
screaming ‘Fire,"' Howard said. “She had
just come home by chance and saw the

fire and smoke.“

No one was injured in the blaze. but
damage was done to the building. The tire
was concentrated in the ceiling of Apt.
108 and the floor of apartment 110 and
caused moderate fire and smoke damage
to both apartments.

Robert Lee Brown. lYK‘s fire marshal.
said the fire caused about $10000 worth
of damage.

The fire “started from a discarded
cigarette. which had fell between the
landing and the threshold oprt. 110." ac
cording to Lexington-Fayette Fire De-
partment‘s incident report. "The fire then
worked its way into (the) ceiling area of
Apt. 108."

The report also states that “the occu-
pant of Apt. 110 (Margie Crawford) stat-
ed she had been smoking on the landing

Crawford lives in 110 with three oth
er roommates. She would not comment
on the incident.

There was some disagreement as to
whether the cause had been a cigarette or
a cigar.

“It ignited from a cigar that lit up
some. sawdust." Brown said.

The incident gathered quite a crowd
from other apartments.

“I got home from the Millennium at
1:30 (in the morning). and I could smell
the smoke all the way out on Alumni Dri-
ve.” said Mike Thornton. a broadcast
journalism junior. "There was a big
crowd outside."

Most students took the incident in
stride.

“I am not scared to live in these
apartments." said Kelly Fearles. a
telecommunications sophomore who
lives in the adjacent building. “I love it
here."

 

IFC planning for Habitat project

Giving back to the community: Fraternities pass bill to
embark on huge effort to build house; construction in 2001

By mvmn

CAMPUS EDITOR

UK fraternities and sororities will
build a $20,000 house. then give it away.

This Habitat For Humanity service
project will be a testament to the Inter-
fraternity Council's ability to organize a
big group of people to do something for
those less fortunate. said Jeff Buhr. the
council‘s vice president for Community
Service.

“It’s something local that helps the

 

local community." said Tony Illanton.
dean of fraternities.

Former IFC president Josh Knipp
and former Panhellenic president Holly
Harris came up with the idea. Knipp
said.

“Working on the houses gives you
a tangible result.“ he said. “When they

Students say combining the

more sense in the long run
By Michael Downs

c’okinlaunifikntn ”

 

Writing and communication requirtL
ments will be merged into one communica-
tion skills requirement as part of the l’resi-
dent‘s Initiative on Undergradu'itc Educa-
tion.

The initiative is a series ofsuggestions
to improve undergraduate education. creat-
ed by committees of department chairs.
past Student Government Association rep~
rcsentativcs. and honor students.

The suggestions are still in the plan
ning and discussion phase and an imple-
mentation date has not yet been deter-
mined.

University Studies now requires a six
credit-hour writing component and a three
credit-hour communications component.
The proposal would merge the two into one
six~hour requirement. said Deborah Kirk-
man. assistant director of the Writing Pro
gram.

Writing and communication are impor-
tant components of education. said Lindsay
Hoerstman. a special education freshman,

“In a career. you're going to have to be
able to present yourself. It will be easier if
you can do that in both writing and speak-
ing." lloerstman said.

Hoerstman said she didn‘t like her
writing requirements because they focused
on things that didn‘t interest her.

This disinterest is one of the main con
cerns of the communication skills compo-
nent of the proposed changes. Kirkman said.

“I think that if you‘re not having a pas
sive learning experience. if it is inquiry
based. people will become less passive in
their effort." Kirkman said.

Luis Hernandez. an architecture se-
nior. said he felt writing skills were impor-
tant. but that he gained those skills from
his major classes and not l'nivers‘ity Stud-
ies requirements.

Likewise. Jennifer (‘ardwclL an am his»
tory junior. also said she gained both her
communication and writing skills from her
major classes.

(‘ombining writing and communica-
tion is good because one requirement can
take the place of two. she said.

Kirkman said the proposal entails not
only combining writing and communiczr
tion requirements. but also the continued
impm‘tance of those elements through out
undergraduate education.

Roger Brown. a graduate student in the
Martin School of Public Policy and Admin-
istration. likes the idea of stressing writing
and communication in all disciplines.

Brown said speech and writing will be
more objective if viewed together.

Senate passes GOP plan

WASHINGTON W Senate Republicans late
yesterday crushed a Democratic call for an im-
mediate vote on President Clinton’s fate and
adopted their own plan to allow public airing of
Monica Lewinsky's videotaped testimony at
Clinton‘s impeachment trial.

The developments on the Senate floor fol-
lowed strict party lines after Senate leaders
deadlocked in daylong efforts to negotiate a bi-
partisan timetable for the conclusion of the
trial.

Both sides envisioned a final vote on im-
peachment by Feb. 12, and the depositions are to
begin on Monday. But there were numerous dif-
ferences on key details in the interim.

$2.6 trillion federal surplus seen

WASHINGTON —— Unleashing figures cer-
tain to fuel this year's budget fight. the Congres-
sional Budget Office yesterday projected that
federal surpluses will total $2.6 trillion over the
next decade. hundreds of billions of dollars
more than was expected just five months ago.

Over the decade ending in 2009. CEO said
nearly one-third of the $2.6 trillion .. $787 bile
lion . would come from the non-Social Security
side of the budget. The mere expectation of that
enormous sum is already opening the door for a
bitter partisan fight over what to do with that
money.

NATO warns both sides in Kosovo

BRUSSELS. Belgium ~ NATO yesterday is-
sued a warning to both sides in the Kosovo cri-
sis: Negotiate a political settlement now or else.
NATO‘s military firepower is cruising the Adri-
atic Sea and ready at allied airfields in Italy.
with dozens of ships and planes prepared to rain
havoc upon recalcitrant Serbs.

The allied measures also envision a pro-
gram to cut off arms and financing to the rebel
Kosovo Liberation Army.

Hoffa's victory given the 0K

WASHINGTON James P. Hoffa won a fed-
eral overseer's approval yesterday to assume
the Teamsters presidency. but the election mon-
itor barred one of his running mates from tak-
ing office and delayed his decision on two union
vice presidents from Canada.

Tom Leedham. who opposed Hoffa in the
December 1998 contest after a campaign finance
scandal overturned incumbent president Ron
Carey‘s 1996 re-election and barred him from
the rerun. said he had not decided whether to

appeal.

WASHINGTON —— With conflicting recom-
mendations from aides, Attorney General
Janet Reno yesterday said she hasn’t decided
if an independent counsel should investigate
whether former White House deputy chief of
staff Harold Ickes lied to a Senate panel look-
ing into campaign finances. Reno must tell a
special court tomorrow whether investigation
by an independent counsel is needed. The Ick—
es case raises the possibility that major por-
tions of Justice’s campaign finance investiga-
tion could land in the hands of a counsel. be-
cause Ickes played a central role in 1996 Demo
cratic fund raising.

Teachers: We don't have training

WASHINGTON _,_ Four out of five US.
teachers say they’re not ready to teach in to“
day’s classrooms. and more than a third say
they either don’t have degrees in the subjects
they teach or didn't spend enough time training
in them. says a survey by the Education De-
partment. Education Secretary Richard W. Ri-
ley said the survey, answered by 3,560 teachers
nationwide, illustrates the need to change how
teachers are trained for changing classrooms.

New pen opens up tiny universe

ing today in the journal Science(**ITAL). The
work is an important step toward someday de-
veloping electronic chips that are a thousand
times smaller than those now used in comput-
ers. It moves into unknown corners of what is
known as the nanoworld, said Chad A. Mirkin.
a chemistry professor at Northwestern Univer-
sity and senior author of the study.

before the test-taker can move
on to the next question. The
questions start out at average
difficulty; they move on to
more difficult questions if an-
swered correctly. and less dif.
ficult questions if answered in-
correctly. There is no skip-
ping. and no going back.

While there is a time limit
to the test. there's no time lim-
it to individual sections. Stu-
dents who are faster on one
section and slower on another
can work at their own pace.

Even though most of us
are familiar with computers.
the concept of adaptive testing
is new.

“The two formats (pencil
and paper vs. computerized)
require different test-taking
approaches." said Trent An-

derson. executive director of
graduate programs for Kaplan.
a test preparation company.
“It‘s a different kind of mind
game."

Kaplan is offering free pa-
per and pencil practice tests
throughout February to help
students decide which type of
test will be better for them.

“Students should be given
a choice." said Linda Collins. a
Spanish graduate student.
“They shouldn’t have to be
concerned about whether or
not they pushed the right but-
ton. They have to take into
consideration computer pho-
bia in students.“

Karl Davis. a history grad-
uate student who took the
exam on computer in 1994.
said he did not feel the new
format had adversely affected
his score. But the process did
make him a little nervous.

“I felt like the computer
was trying to outwit me.“ he
said.

It didn‘t look like the Cats
could keep up with the Jones'.
Georgia‘s Jumaine Jones that
is.

But they did, dominating in
overtime 91-83. to keep Coach
Tubby Smith perfect against
his old Georgia team.

Another big play
maker/scorer comes to Rupp
Arena Saturday with Louisiana
State. His name? Maurice
Carter.

The senior guard has been
the leading scorer in 12 games
for the Tigers (10-7, 2-6 South~
eastern Conference). He scored
35 points against Arkansas on
Jan. 2.

He averages 17.1 a game
from the field and 5.6 rebounds
a game.

Sophomore forward Jones
was unstoppable earlier this
week. knocking in a career—
high 34 points against the
Cats. He hit 12 of his 21 shots,
including 4 of 9 from three—
point land.

“1 was feeling it coming
into the game.“ Jones said. “i
was energized. full of energy
and ready to go."

UK (18-4. 71) had answers
to Jones. Mainly. it had offense.
All of UK‘s starters. with the ex-
ception of freshman Desmond
Allison. scored in double fig-
ures. Senior forward Scott Pad-
gett. who had the assignment of
guarding Jones most of the
game. still found energy on of-
fense. scoring 23 points. includ-
ing the clutch three in over-
time.

Senior forward Heshimu
Evans had 16 points. center

Mike Bradley had 18 and point
guard Wayne Turner pumped
in 12. he also added eight as.
sists.

Georgia shot 48.4 percent
from the field to the t‘ats‘ 54
percent.

LSU shouldn't be as much
ofa challenge. They only shoot
43.4 from the field.

Rebounding war

But if the Tigers struggle
from the field. it will be a chal-
lenge to keep them off the
boards.

The Cats. who have outre-
bounded all but two opponents
this season. are averaging 41 re-
bounds per game and holding
opponents to 34 per game.

LSU is a hair above that.
averaging 41.4 rebounds a game
and holding opponents to 31.9 a
game. Jabari Smith. a T-foot
center is the leading rebounder
for the Tigers.

Brother on brother

UGA senior guard G.G.

Smith. who went against UK re-
serve brother Saul Smith. got
the best of him Tuesday.

G.G. Smith only scored
nine points. but dished out nine
assists in 41 minutes of play.

His nine assists made him
l'GA‘s second-leading assist
maker.

Saul Smith. who played
only half the time G.G. Smith
(lid. scored six points. but only
dished otit two assists.

While G.G. won the battle.
Saul Smith and [7K won the
war. The elder Smith will hear
it from his baby brother.

it was a lot like when they
were children

“We‘re like friends and
brothers and I like that." Saul
Smith said earlier this week.
"You know how usually big
brothers beat you up. it wasn‘t
like that. l have always used
him as a sort of measuring stick
academically and in basket-
ball."

That's a good sign for next
year.

CRITICAL MASS

Irish eyes

Author
murdered

BELFAST, Northern
Ireland - The author
of an unflinching
expose of life inside
the lrish Republican
Army was found dead
by a roadside
Wednesday, the
victim of a savage
beating that
inevitably suggested
revenge.

The battered body of
Eamon Collins was
found at dawn near
the town of Newry.
40 miles south of
Belfast. His head was
so badly damaged
that police weren't
immediately sure
whether he had been
shot.

The IRA issued no
statement about
Collins' death, and
the Royal Ulster
Constabulary
declined to say
whether it had any
firm evidence to
suggest whether the
lRA or an individual
was to blame.

Super facts

game, and 446
stations will receive
this transmission.

televised in about
150 countries.

game.

Couch shouldn't
be forced to stay
another year

To the editor:

While I share William Monk's
disappointment (“Did Couch Real-
ly Make the Right Decision?") in
seeing Tim Couch forego his se-
nior season for the NFL. perhaps a
reality check is in order before
mandating a fouryear obligation
for those on scholarship.

I have often read the Kernel
opinions that decry the difference
in treatment of the college athlete
and the “normal“ student.

So let’s be consistent with our
arguments here.

Suppose a student on a full-
ride academic scholarship at UK
was able to begin the career of
their dreams before graduation.
Should this student drop such an
opportunity just to walk across the
stage and receive a diploma on
time?

Of course not.

Many bright and resourceful
students have done so. A few ex-
amples are Steve Jobs (co-founder
of Apple). Michael Dell (founder of
Dell Computers) and Bill Gates
(founder of Microsoft).

Even such local entrepreneurs
