CatWalk
currently
without a
sponsor

Open bid: UK Police will
provide services in interim

CONTRIBUTING WRITER

CatWalk. a program that
provides nighttime escorts for
students on campus. is without
a group to facilitate the service.

Farmhouse Fraternity.
which ran the program last
year. did not renew its one-year
contract with Student Govern-
ment. which is in charge of ad-
ministering the program. SG
President Tim Robinson said he
hopes that CatWalk will be
available for student use some—
time around the second week of
September. Until SG has found
a new group to run the Cat—
Walk. the UK Police will take
calls to escort students.

“Our contract with Cat-
Walk was a trial time for us and
for Student Government."
Farmhouse President Nathan
Lawson said. “Our fraternity is
involved in many other commu-
nity services and events. but
our members were not able to
do them as well along with
working for CatWalk."

ROTC. the organization
that offered the service prior to
Farmhouse. has shown little in—
terest in taking over. According
to Ben Burdette. a Cadet lst
Lieutenant of Air Force ROTC.
he is not sure ROTC wants to
place a bid this year for the Cat-
Walk program.

"Most of the students from
ROTC who worked with the
CatWalk program last year
have graduated. and many of
our members are involved in
other services. community
events and fundraisers, and so
time is limited." Burdette said.

When CatWalk changed
hands last year. the reappoint-
ment of the service from ROTC
to Farmhouse caused
controversy.

Both ROTC and Farmhouse
submitted bids for $10,000.
Farmhouse was chosen by a
committee of five people select-
ed by Robinson, whose adminis-
tration had strong ties to Farm-
house fraternity The commit.
tee reviewed the bids and voted
unanimously in favor of Farm-
house.

Robinson said SG felt the
service was not being used by
enough students under ROTC’s
watch.

dent use. and sometimes to get

Alzheimer's
study looks
at proteins

Research: UK and U of L researchers
say study may have ‘significant impact'

By John Wampler
SENIOR SlAfF WRITER

Two UK researchers. working with an-
other from the University of Louisville,
have discovered what could prove to be a
key to understanding Alzheimer's disease.
a degenerative brain disorder that affects
thinking. speech and memory.

Dr. Allan Butterfield. director of the
Center for Membrane Sciences. and
Alessandra Castegna. a graduate student in
chemistry. worked on a project that identi-
fied three oxidized proteins that are found
in the brains of people with Alzheimer's.

Proteins that have been oxidized un-
dergo chemical changes that affect their
composition and function. Butterfield said.
In some of the oxidized proteins that were
found in patients' brains, there was up to a
90 percent loss of former activity, he said.

Butterfield said identifying these pro
teins could provide insight into how nerve
cells die in the brains of Alzheimer's
patients.

“I believe our research, coupled with
others. will lead to therapies that will
make a significant impact on this disor-
der." he said.

“It had been known for a while that
certain proteins in patients' brains were
oxidized." Butterfield said. “The question
was which ones."

To figure this out, Butterfield and
Castegna employed a technology known as
proteomics, which is used to study how pro
teins affect the behavior of cells. tissues
and organs. They were assisted by Dr. John
Klein. director of U of L's Core Proteomics
Laboratory

This project was the first to use pro-
teomics to identify oxidized proteins in
brains. Out of the hundreds of proteins in
the brain. only a few in an Alzheimer's dis-
eased brain are oxidized, Butterfield said.

This is why using proteomics to identi-
fy those proteins is such a great technique,
Klein said.

“This is a very targeted approach," he
said. ”(It‘s) an ability to find a needle in a
haystack.“

Klein said the research is an example
of what can be accomplished when UK and
U of L combine their resources.

“It's really been a joy (to work on this
project)." he said.

The project has special meaning to
Castegna. who has relatives with
Alzheimer‘s.

“For me, it's very important to give a
contribution." she said.

Although Butterfield said he thinks a
cure is far away. he said the focus right
now is on delaying the disease. and allow-
ing people to live into old age with their
mental capacities intact.

“You have to start somewhere and
(our research) is the first step," Butterfield
said.

LOUISVILLE. Ky. — Hun-

downtown Louisville Thursday.

threats of war against Iraq.

$1.000—a-p1ate luncheon for US.
Rep. Anne Northup. never ap-
peared before the approximately
300 protesters. and entered the
Seelbach Hotel through another
entrance.

About 20 teenagers fronted
the protest — which took place be-
hind police and barricades 100
yards from the hotel — chanting
anti-Bush slogans.

“I‘m here to voice opposition
to the policies of the Bush ad-
ministration. specifically his iso-
lated policy of going to war with

Iraq." said Jana Meyer. holding a
sheet sign reading ‘No US. cow-
boy war in Iraq.’

Police arrested one protester
for failure to disperse. Louisville
Police spokesman Detective Bill
Keeling said David Coyte. 50,
crossed a barricade. sat down
and refused to move.

While many of the protesters
chanted against Kentucky Repub-
licans Northup and Sen. Mitch
McConnell. the majority were an-
gered at the possibility of anoth-
er war in the Middle East.

“There are so many issues
that one would be unhappy about
with the Bush administration.
but the most pressing is this
crazy threat of a bogus war in
Iraq to keep the fear going.“ said

GOING HOME:
Jason Priestley
is expected to
leave the hospital
within ID days.
but it'll be a long
time before he's
back on his feet,
and he may never
get behind the
wheel of a race
car again. That's
frustrating, he
told the Indi-
anapolis Star on
Wednesday in his
first interview
since his near-fa-
tal pre-race
crash in Ken-
tucky on Aug. if.
"The frustration
is [based on] not
being in a race
car right now."
the former "Bev-
erly Hills 902ID"
star said. "But
other than that,
it's not been that
bad." Of his six-
hours-daily regi-
men of physical
therapy. he said,
"Rehab is way
too hard. but you
don't mind the
work so much
when you know
it's going to pay
you back ten-
fold." The paper,
which spoke to
Priestley at an
Indianapolis hos-
pital whose name
has not been dis-
closed to protect
his privacy, said
Priestley has a
brace on his
chest, a pin in
his back, and
casts on his feet.
In the crash, he
suffered frac-
tures in his back,
his feet, his right
eardrum. and
around his eyes

Ragland defense petitions court

LEXINGTON Defense attorneys for
Shane Ragland. convicted of killing Univer-
sity of Kentucky football player Trent
DiGiuro, petitioned the court Thursday to
disqualify prosecutors front some future le-
gal proceedings. A hearing in which FBI
ballistics expert Kathleen Lundy was sched-
uled to testify about lying during a prelimi-
nary hearing in Ragland's murder case. was
on the agenda. It instead turned into a
bench conference. in which defense attor»
neys asked Fayette County Circuit Judge
Thomas Clark to disqualify Attorney Ray
Larson because of deals cut with Lundy to
avoid prosecution based on what she said
during a meeting and what she would have
said in court Thursday: Clark listened to ar-
guments and said he wanted briefs from
both sides Sept. 20. He said he would rule
on the motion to disqualify Oct. 4.

Agents find cocaine worth $6 million

LOUISVILLE Federal agents search-
ing an abandoned car early Thursday made
the region's largest-ever cocaine seizure,
hauling away a stash of drugs worth up to
$6 million, authorities said. The search by
agents with the US. Drug Enforcement Ad-
ministration netted 33 kilograms of co-
caine, stashed under the spare tire in the
rear of the vehicle. US. Attorney Steve
Pence said. The seizure led to the arrests of
four men ~ Yamil Aguirre. 35; Bruce Shu-
make. 42: Peter John Mecca. 29; and Steven
(‘Teballos 30. Each was charged with one
count of possession with intent to distrib-

years to life. plus a $4 million fine.

duo creates Spanish pro-
grams covering topics rang-
ing from mosquito control to
landscaping to food
preparation.

“Part of our responsibili-
ty is to provide information
through the media to Ken
tuckians, which includes
Kentucky‘s growing Hispanic
population." said De Mattina.
“Through the radio we can
repeatedly provide important
facts and the place where
they can get more informa-
tion — the Cooperative Ex~
tension Office."

Radio Vida. WYGH-1440
AM. in Paris. Ky. uses the
Spanish informational pro-
grams on its bilingual morn—
ing show. which airs Monday
through Friday.

Radio Vida is primarily a
gospel station with listeners
in 15 counties. The station
provides several hours of
programming in Spanish
every day. which allows these
public service announce-
ments to be aired frequently.

De Mattina and De Sa
Guimaraes produce the Span-
ish programs in cooperation

with RADIOSOURCENET.
which is a cooperative of
land grant universities,
which serve the public as
sources of information for
improving their quality of
life.

The cooperative puts to.
gether grants and databases
for all the universities. which
is largely what helped make
UK's program possible.

“We didn‘t have the
means to produce the pro-
grams before," said De Sa
Guimaraes. an international
economics and foreign lan-
guage sophomore.

RADIOSOURCENET
contributes translations for
some of the programs and
currently provides the voices
for the video programs and
public service announce-
ments.

“There are no other
states doing PSA’s of short
broadcast quality in Span-
ish." said De Mattina. “I have
the right person here to help
me.“

De Mattina said he hopes
to have De Sa Guimaraes
recording some of the pro-
grams this semester in addi‘
tion to the translations she
provides.

“I grew up in Brazil, and
Portuguese is my first lan-
guage, but I learned Spanish

at an international school in

Florida.” said De Sa
Guimaraes. In addition to
translating, De Sa Guimaraes
is also helping to develop the
College of Agriculture's
Spanish radio programming
on the Web.

The programs are record
ed on compact discs and are
Web ready. The scripts of the
programs can be viewed on
the Web site if the user can
not access the audio record-
ings from their computer.

De Sa Guimaraes is also
working to broaden the scope
of their project to include
children's programs.

“This is one of many pro
grams that we have. but it is
unique in this area," De Mat-
tina said. "We want to keep it
running and reach the Span-
ish audience to let them
know how much information
the Cooperative Extension
Office has to offer them."

Robinson said.

“Change can be good.
otherwise people get compla-
cent.“ he said.

Burdette does not agree.

“Who runs the program
has nothing to do with stu-
dent numbers if a great ser-
vice was provided and an ap-
plicable job was performed,"
he said.

When Farmhouse ran
CatWalk. there was an in-
crease in student use.

“We were always accessi-
ble. always made an effort to
be at the library at the times

advertised, and always an-
swered the phone line set up
just for the CatWalk service.“
said Farmhouse member
Allen Wilson. “Constant ac-
cessibility was the most im-
portant factor."

Both Lawson and Wilson
partially attribute higher stu-
dent use to the advertising of
CatWalk. Wilson said they
wore T-shirts, used radios,
hung signs, put up banners
and advertised in the Kernel.

Robinson said he thought
Farmhouse did a good job of
promoting the service.

When ROTC ran the pro
gram, they advertised as well.

“We advertised the ser-
vice enough since it was run
by UK, and we just ran it for
them," Burdette said. “We did
not run the program for pub-

licity."

Last year‘s speculation
about CatWalk getting golf
carts did not work out due to
university regulations and
policies.

Lawson said that did not
affect Farmhouses decision
to discontinue working with
the program. He said the fra-
ternity didn't feel enough stu-
dents utilized the service.

Each year SG votes on
the amount of funding Cat—
Walk should receive. $1,000 of
the budget is supposed to be
used for advertising. Farm~
house and ROTC have each
received $10.000 in past years.
No exact funding amount for
this year could be obtained
because it has not yet been
voted on by SG.

Concern expressed
over student debt

Plastic: College students relying on credit;
officials want Congressional action

ASSOLIAILD PRESS

WASHINGTON .\nin
creasing number ot‘ college
students are relying on plas
tic to pay for their purchases.
a trend that is threatening to
put many of them into deht.
according to academics and
policy-makers who urged
(‘ongress to do something
:ihout the prolilem ’l’liui'sdav

Kentucky State ’l‘reasur
or Jonathan Miller told tlte
Senate hanking coitiinittoe it
could take college students a
longtime to recover troiii the
debt they incur in college
"They are going to he sad
tllcd for years. it not
decades.” Miller said.

Eighty-three percent ot'

uiidergraduaies had at least
one credit card last year. up
trom 67 percent iii 19%. ac
cording to a study l)\ Nollie
Mae. a leading provider of
student loans.

The proportion ot stur
dents \Vlili tour or more cred
it cards jumped t‘roin :7 to 17
percent in that porioil the
study found.

The Education liepait
ment recently examined Illt'
issue and found more that; ll
percent of college students
carried a balance on a credit
card during the ltittfrzooo
school year. Among those
students. tlto average credit

card deht was $5.066.

Robert Manning. an ecor
noniic sociologist at tho
Rochester Institute ol‘ Tech
iiologv, testified that credit
tard companies were increas-
iiigly tiiarketing to freshmen,

"It means that tho deht
litirden is going to show up
earlier It means that reten
tion in college is going to he
alter-ted. and we're going to
see an increase in dropout
rates because a student that
has a deht prohleiii in their
sophomore year may not he
ahle to find a way to finan
cially limp through the last
two years." Manning said.

He said some of tho na-
tion's universities were con
trihutiiig to the problem by
haying financial contracts
with credit card companies.
For example. First L'SA has a
relationship with the I'niver
sity of Louisville to market
its credit cards on that earn
pus. :Il't‘lll‘lllilL’, to Miller.

model for the nation. Miller
said he hoped to extend the
program to other Kentucky
cities by the end of the year

Dodd also has authored
legislation that would re-
quire t‘l‘t-tll'. card companies
to ensure students can pay
their bills before getting
credit cards If students can-
not prove they can pay, they

course lil personal finances
or got their parents to co-
sign an application.

Sen. Phil (‘yrainm Rt
Texas. is among the lawmak»
ors who see no need for re-
stricting college students' ac-
cess to credit cards.

“They can be drafted.
They can start a business.
They can get married.“
(lramin said, "I do think we
have to he careful iii a free
society about how tar we're
going to go in restricting peo<
ple's rights.”

Michael Staten. director
of Georgetown University's
(‘redit Research Center.
agreed.

He conducted a study
funded by the credit card in—
dustry that showed college
students are less likely to use
credit czti‘tls’ for cash advances
than other individuals

The study also showed
students were less likely
than others to incur finance
charges on their credit cards

likely to incur fees. either for
being late or being over the
credit limit.

They are going to be saddled [with debt] for

years. if not decades.”
