A UK professor found a
man taking chemicals from
a lab in the Chemistry and
Physics Building Tuesday
night.

Evidence from the bur~
glary led to the bust Wednes-
day of what may be “the
largest meth lab ever found
in Kentucky." said C.L. Fra-
zier. a senior trooper with
the Kentucky State Police.

At the scene. UK police
found items in a duffel bag
that led them to a house in
Frankfort. There. they said
they found a sophisticated
and dangerous meth lab.

Police said they have
suspects. but no arrests had
been made as of 1 am. Fri~
day.

A strange encounter

Leaving his office in the
Chem~Phys building around
9 pm. Arthur Cammers-
Goodwin. a UK chemistry
professor. went to lock his
lab door when he noticed the‘
refrigerator was open.

At first he thought one
of his students might be
working late. He walked to
the elevator but turned
around. worried a student
had just forgotten to close
the refrigerator door.

But when he returned.
he found a stranger *7 not a
student.

A white man with black
hair and “flecks of gray on
his temples" stared back at
him. he said. The man. wear-

ing stone wash denim jeans
and a jersey, explained he
was looking for a sep funnel.
which is used to separate or-
ganic compounds.

Cammers-Goodwin
asked him what he was do-
ing in his lab. The man said
he was there on behalf of a
chemistry professor.

Angrily. Cammers-
Goodwin asked. “Which pro-
fessor?" according to a re-
port he filed Tuesday with
UK Police.

“Dr. Alan."
replied.

There is no Dr. Alan in
the chemistry department.
Cammers-Goodwin said.

“Come on dude. if I
were stealing. I would have a
bag to put all the stuff in.“
the man said.

“I was evaluating our
physical differences.” Cam-
mers-Goodwin said. “1 con-
sidered accosting him."

The man said he worked
in a lab on the first floor of
the building. so Cammers-
Goodwin asked to see a stu-
dent ID. The man produced.
out of a “jungle of crap.“ a
driver‘s license.

“The card has his pic—
ture on it and the name he
gave me.“ Cammers-Good-
win wrote. “The card has a
Frankfort address. I am
stunned."

The man then left. On
his way back to the office.
Cammers-Goodwin saw a
large duffel bag in his lab.
He called the police.

When UK police arrived.
they found bottles of di-
methylamine and menthol.

win's initials on them inside

costs $22. he said. A 100
gram bottle of dimethy-
lamine costs $109.

Police also found ethyl
bromide. notebooks. bur-
glary tools. a UK student di-
rectory. a flask. toothpaste. a
brush and a comb. the police
report said.

Most damning was a
manual on the synthesis of
the drug ecstasy. Cammers-
Goodwin wrote.

“This fellow was quite
studious." he wrote. “The
multi-page document was
highlighted from header to
footer all the way through."

This incident isn't the
first in the building. Two
other Chem-Phys burglaries
have happened since Janu-
ary 2002.

Cammers-Goodwin re-
ported one of them. which
happened on Dec. 19. 2002.
Four chemicals were stolen.
along with a flask. burners.
a ring stand. a chemical cat-
alog and a manual for a vac-
uum pump.

Another incident was
reported March 4. 2002.
Chemicals and a vacuum
pump were stolen then.

Crystal meth:
‘poor man's
cocaine'

High: Drug can lead to
cardiac arrest, death

By Rebecca Neal
STAFF WRITER

Methamphetamine is
nicknamed the “poor
man’s cocaine" because it
is a cheap drug made of
easily available ingredi-
ents. said one professor.

“One of the reasons
for its popularity is that
it’s relatively cheap to pro
duce." said Robert Walker.
an assistant professor in
UK's Center on Drug and
Alcohol Research.

Methamphetamine is
a form of amphetamine
with a high that can last
four to six hours. Walker
said slight changes in a
drug‘s composition affect
its potency. “The main
change is with the half-life.
or how long it lasts in the
system. Methampheta-
mine has a longer half-life
and so it has a longer
high," he said.

It causes increased
heartbeat and breathing.
and erratic behavior: it
can also lead to cardiac ar-
rest. he said.

“It gives you racing
thoughts. and people can
get out of control." he said.

The process of mak-
ing meth is a dangerous
one. Walker said. The in-
gredients must be heated
and mixed. but heating
certain chemicals can
cause an explosion. he

Smoking ban forum
addresses pros, cons

Debate: Meeting is one of three opportunities
to discuss issue and for council to take feedback

15am Cunningham

ASSISTANT NEW EDITOR

Lexington residents went head-to-liead Thursday night
in a public forum concerning a proposal to ban smoking in
city restaurants. bars and taverns.

Close to 100 people crowded into city council chambers,
some bearing signs with slogans and others dressed in red to
represent their support of the proposed ban. '

Comments came from residents of varying age and
background concerned about health. business and freedom
of personal choice. Opponents and proptments spoke on all
three issues from their particular Viewpoints.

Brian Lanier. a [K fourthyear medical student. said
when it comes to public areas. the health concerns are far
more important than the issue of the right to smoke.

“We’re not asking people not to smoke at all." Laniei‘
said. “We are asking people not to smoke in restaurants and
bars where they hurt everyone else around them because of
their choice."

Brian Quisenberry; a non-smoker. works at Dudley's
Restaurant and said a ban would harm local restaurants and
bars.

“We will be hurt financially.“ Quisenberry said. "There
are going to be problems "

The Lexington Fayette l'rban County Council has been
considering passing a ban since early last December when
they tabled the decision in favor of more time to study the is-
sue and get public input Thursday‘s meeting was the first of
Thl‘t‘C such public discussion opimrtunities. (‘ouncil mem-
bers did not answer any questions about the ordinance; they

Many citizens said the
ban should include all public
places or else the ban would
be discriminatory.

Rob Ramsey. owner of
the five Ramsey‘s diners in
Lexington said if the city re
ally wants to do something
to protect health. council
member would pass a ban
including all public places.

”Collectively: businesses
may be OK. but there will be
negative impacts on individ-
ual establishments." Ramsey
said. “But considering the
arguments about health I am
convinced that this in an un-
winable debate. But then
this ban should include all
public places and all employ-

ers. 'Ilo just single out restau-
rants and bars is arbitrary
and hypocritical.“

Ramsey. a member of
the Lexington Roundtable
Restaurant Authority. spoke
on behalf of the group.

The state legislature
passed regulations Thurs-
day to allow each precinct in
Kentucky to decide the issue
of smoking bans individual-
ly. But each precinct would
need 50 percent of voters to
vote for a ban. and support-
ers of an ordinance in Lex-
ington said the decision was
a roadblock to any ban.

The Fayette County
Board of Health is expected
to pass its own regulations
banning smoking in some es-
tablishments next week. A
public hearing is scheduled
5:30 pm. Monday at the
Fayette County Health De-
partment, 650 Newtown Pike.

SG resignations
ore than welcome

Tim Robinson’s resignation as Student
Government president seems to have pro-
duced a domino effect throughout the organi-
zation. Other high-ranking SG members have
already followed Robinson’s lead and re-
signed their positions, and it looks like even
more will follow suit.

Justin Rasner, SG chief of staff, and Ed-
win Orange. a staff associate, have already
left their positions. Jessica Burke, secretary
of the cabinet, claims she will probably re-
sign soon as well.

This decision is the right one. These offi-
cials worked hand in hand with Robinson
during his tumultuous reign as SG president.

They could have used their power to bet—
ter advise Robinson when he headed drives
to spend ridiculous amounts of SG funding
on campus parties and concerts. They could
have taken a hand in assuring that the voter
registration card debacle that proved to be
Robinson’s downfall never happened, but
they didn't.

Robinson’s cronies in SG certainly don’t

own the level of responsibility for SG’s fail-
ures that the former president himself does,
but the fact is that many SG officials have
failed to do the job they were appointed for.

The university recently refused to rescue
SG from the $10,000 hole it dug for itself, and
rightly so. It seems SG was depending upon a
proposed student fee increase to cover the
costs of its spending frenzy. a proposal that
was postponed until at least this fall.

This points to a severe lack of responsible
planning on the part of SG representatives.
These student officials may have never had
any ill-intentions while exercising their pow-
er, but many have demonstrated a clear lack
of responsibility. Subsequent administra-
tions will have a difficult time fixing their
mistakes. Therefore. a good house-cleaning is
definitely in order.

Several representatives have given UK
students and community leaders with whom
we’ve sought to build ties negative impres—
sions of UK Student Government and for
that, their resignations are most welcome.

Subsequent administrations will have a
difficult time fixing their mistakes.”

Support for Columbia crew
reflects well on students

to Itself???

Thank you for realizing that sometimes there is no
catch: sometimes a good deed is done just because it
is right.

The University of Kentucky—Israel Public Aware-
ness Committee (KIPA) would like to thank the facul—
ty. staff and student body who recently lent their sig-
natures and gave their condolences to the families and
loved ones of the Space Shuttle Columbia. As we en-
dured the four days of bitter cold. we were all warmed
by the sweet notes of gratitude from our friends and
neighbors.

As each day passes. it is becoming increasingly
clear that the mission of the Columbia space shuttle's
crew embodied so much of what is truly right. Their
journey was not in the name of war. nor in the name
of peace. It was not in the name of one country‘s
leader, nor of another‘s. Nor was it in the name of one
specific religion. It was. however, in the spirit of per-
spective through the will of earned knowledge.

Perhaps one of the most diverse crews ever assem-
bled. the crew of seven included five Christians, a
Hindu and a Jew: an African~American. an Indian-
born American and an Israeli with a deep love and ap-
preciation for democracy and all things American.
The notable differences of each were no obstacle to
the commonalities that formed a bond between the
crew and their common cause in the name of
humanity.

Research brought into space for the purpose of
this endeavor came from numerous faiths and count—
less nationalities. From space. Israeli astronaut Ilan
Ramon. wrote messages to loved ones in which he not-
ed the beauty of what seemed to be a mutually re-
spectful coexistence in a world without borders.

Students approached the display board in front of
the cement benches adjacent to Whitehall Classroom
Building and kneeled. as though it were a church‘s
pew staring at the flags symbolically planted as
though it were on the moon's surface. Some chose to
pray whilst others asked to light a Yarzheit candle. a
traditional Jewish memorial candle, in rememberence
of loved ones lost.

KIPA was thrilled by the overwhelming support
we received through our efforts on behalf of the fami-
lies and loved ones of the shuttle's crew. In addition.
we have asked President Todd‘s permission for KIPA
and the Jewish Student Organization to sponsor a
“living memorial" of seven trees in memorium of the
lost Astronauts. to be known as the Columbia Garden.

Ilan Ramon. whose first name means “tree“ in He-
brew. requested that a tree be planted to mark the sig-
nificance of the Columbia experience on behalf of the
world community. Kalpana Chawpa, an Indian born
American astronaut, had once said, “I am a citizen of
the whole universe."

It is in this spirit of understanding and selfless
contribution that The University of Kentucky Israel
Public Awareness Committee thanks those who
shared their thoughts to the children and families of
those who were committed to the good of humanity.

Again. thank you.

Senior night tribute to Stewart
showed class and compassion

To the editor:

The tribute on Wednesday night at the Men's Bas—
ketball game to John Stewart was one of the most
touching and heartwrenching moments I have expe
rienced in my years as a UK student and fan.

Although I knew it was coming. nothing could
have prepared me for the waves of emotion that came
over me. I know that John's parents. the UK team and
everyone there was similarly touched.

It was one of the classiest things that UK has
ever done at an athletic event. I can only imagine
that John was somewhere watching as UK stormed
on to a big victory in his memory.
