New food plan
popular at 16
benchmarks

By Dariush Shafa
1H[ KENTUCKY krnuti

Most of UK’s benchmark universities already provide din-
ing plans similar to one UK is considering.

UK may change from a declining-balance debit system to
meal-per-week plans that allow students to choose based on
how often they eat at UK restaurants.

The new meal-per-week plans could cost from 38% to $1.698
and give students between 123 and 280 meals a semester.

Of its 19 benchmarks. UK joins three universities that oper-
ate on a debit system. where students are charged for the food
items they buy. The universities of Arizona. Washington and
Wisconsin-Madison operate on debit systems

Lisa Wandel. associate director of food services at Pennsyl-
vania State University. said students enjoy the number of op-
tions they have with the plans. which have been in place for
more 10 years.

“They love the flexibility" she said.

The meal plans at Penn State come in several increments.
Students are allotted a certain number of meals per week along
with “flex dollars" which can be used at other establishments
on and off campus.

Plans for students who live at Penn State run from 14 meals
per week and $100 flex dollars for $1,300 per semester to live
meals per week and $300 flex dollars for $860 per semester:

Three of Penn State‘s plans also work on a declining bal-
ance debit system. but those plans have lower balances. The
plans are $700. $500 and $350 and are aimed more at com-
muters.

North Carolina State University also operates on a meal-
per-week system but also allows students to choose how many
meals per week they have along with the amount of flexible
“Board Bucks."

“There was a time when our meal plans were not that pop-
ular." said Randy Lait. business manager of university dining
at NC. State.

However, Lait said there was one guiding principle his de-
partment needed to learn.

“If you give students what they want. they will stand in line
to give you their money." he said. “Once we got a hold of that.
we found out we made more money."

However. some have said the debit system works just as
well. and they are satisfied with how it functions.

“Students so far are much happier because they don‘t have
to carry cash." said Kathryn Bolasky. a student clerk in the
meal plan office at the University of Arizona. "It‘s so much eas-
ier."

House alleviates restrictions
on UK construction projects

By Troy Lyle
THE KENlUCKY KERNEL

FRANKFURT The
Kentucky House of Repre-
sentatives took the first
step this week towards giv-
ing UK the bonding author‘-
ity it needs to pursue more
construction projects.

The bill. which was
passed unanimously by the
House. would allow UK to
issue its own bonds and re-
pay them using its own re
sources. Projects would
still require legislative and
gubernatorial approval. but
construction could begin
on projects such as the hos-
pital bed tower as soon as
bonding could be obtained.

Now the bill will be sent
to the Senate and the gover-
nor for approval

House Majority (‘aucus
Chair Bob Damron. D-
Nicholasville. sponsored
the bill. which he said is vi—

tal to the future of UK and
Kentucky

This bill will create
about 7000 construction
jobs for the state. including
1,600 for Lexington
and UK. he said. It
would also gener.
ate about 1.300 per-
manent jobs for
people who will be
Working in these Stable
facilities. he said.

“That means
long-term. stable
employment." he
said. “Something
this state and re»
gion are in need
of. considering the
current state of the econo-
my."

Damron said he is confi-
dent the bill will pass the
Senate but that it may not
be well received by Fletch-
er's administration.

FLORIDA 70, UK 59
UK's season runs into Gators' roadblock

shut the door in its face. de-

UK has now lost two close

and faces two games on the

The (‘ats (1 Ho. so South

guard Nastassia Alcius. they
used a scoring spurt to climb
back into the game. The (‘ats

points in a two-minute span
to cut Florida's lead to one
point.

"We made a run in the
second half." said l'K head
coach Mickie DeMoss. “We
just could not keep them off
the boards.”

The Gators (lit 10. Hi

tage in the second half.

"We got fatigued in the
second half." [)eMoss said “I
don't know it if it was physi
cal or mental fatigue or
both."

Then the pesky Gators
put the (‘ats away with an 8-0
run with less than 10 min-
utes to go. The (‘ats had no
answer for the run going
scoreless for a span of eight
minutes,

“We just did not get the
ball in the right peoples'
hands." DeMoss said. “We
did not execute well at the
end of the game."

in a game that found UK

Mahoney scored a team-high
16 points.

“She played well. espe
cially in the first half.“
DeMoss said. “in the second
half. she got a little fatigued.
She just needed a little help

Florida senior guard

the Gators. The 65—foot

game with 19 v shooting 70

just com-

And [)eMoss wasn't
sure if anything was going
to go UK's way.

The Cats couldn‘t get
over the hump.

Communication had
broken down. Leadership
was lacking.

“We didn‘t execute well
down the stretch." DeMoss
said following UK's 70-59
loss to Florida last night.
“We didn't seem like we
had communication. We
didn't have the leadership
we needed.“

The Cats did make a
run. With 11:07 left in the
second half. junior guard
Nastassia Alcius completed
a three-point play. giving

UK the lead 54-52. It would
be their only lead in the
game.

The Cats went the next
eight minutes without a
score and the Gators closed
UK out with a 16-4 run.

“Maybe they were a lit-
tle hungrier than we were
tonight." DeMoss said.

Senior guard Sara Potts
said her shots just weren‘t
falling.

“I guess at times they
were beating us to balls and
rebounding." Potts said. “I
don‘t know if our commu-
nication broke down. but it
felt like we weren‘t running
our offense."

Potts finished 3-for-13
fmm the field. two of which
were treys - a Potts trade
mark.

Alcius said she thought
UK relaxed once they had
their first lead.

“We kind of relaxed
when we got the lead," Al-
cius said. “Tonight we did—
n't communicate well."

Yesterday. DeMoss
talked to her team about
goals for the season.

“We talked about the op
portunity to get into post-
season action finishing
off the conference schedule
strong.” DeMoos said. “I
don't know where it leads
us (now). Hopemlly we can
finish out strong.”

Nerth Korea breaks off talks

LUXEMBOURG h, Secretary of
State Condoleezza Rice warned North
Korea Thursday to reconsider its
choice to break off disarmament
talks or face deepening isolation from
the rest of the world and greater suf-
fering for its people.

Responding to North Korea's an»
nouncement that it has built nuclear
weapons and was abandoning the dis.
armament talks. Rice outlined stark
alternatives if the government of
Kim Jong ll does not drop its “unfor-

tunate“ boycott.

"With our deterrent capability on
the Korean peninsula the United
States and its allies can deal with any
potential threat from North Korea."
Rice told a joint press conference
with three European Union leaders.
“And North Korea. I think. under.
stands that. But we are trying to give
the North Koreans a different path."

In separate comments in France.
Secretary of Defense Donald H.
Rumsfeld said the North Korean decv
laration was worrisome because of
the nation's record as a proliferator
of ballistic missiles and the dictatori-

their dictatorial regime and their re-

CDC encourages more
adult AIDS screenings

By Thomas H. Mauoh II
105 meats nuts

All adult Americans
should be screened for HIV 111-
fections in an effort to prolong
lives and reduce new infec-
tions. two groups of re-
searchers are urging.

Everyone should be
screened at least once and the
vast majority should be retest
ed every three to five years in
the same manner that phy s1
cians now screen patients for
colorectal cancer. diabetes. hy~
pertension and other diseases.
according to two indetx‘ndent
reports published Thursday in

the New England Journal of

Medicine.

Such screening would re-
duce the rate of new inftx‘tions
in this country by about 21 I per-
cent and. on average. add I I 2
years of lifespan for each per-
son found to be infected. re-
searchers said.

The cost of the increased
screening “would be money
well spent." said Dr: A. Ilavid
Paltiel of \ale Unixersity. who
led one of the studies

"It's a financial winner as
well as a clinical winner and a
societal winner." said Dr.
Samuel Bouette of Rand Corp.
and the University of Califor-
nia. San Diego. author of an
editorial about the papers in
the same journal. “It’s very
clear that people with HIV
would benefit. as well as those

tions."

percent or higher , acategory
that includes intravenous drug
users. men who have sex with
men. and people who have un-
pn IIOL ted sex. among others.

I' nfortunately. Paltiel said.
the risk of HIV infection “has
clearly expanded well beyond
those stereotypical risk
groups. while the mindset for
broadening screening has not
changed."

‘Throat' documentary

By Rob Oakley
nit untucn mm

To a group of middle
school children the six mil
lion deaths of the Holocaust
seemed beyond belief —
til they decided to collect a
paperclip for each.

Paper Clips. one of the
eight films in Lexington’s
seventh-annual One World
Film Festival. is the true sto-
ry of the
Whitwell, Tenn, who collect-
ed nearly 30 million paper
clips.

The festival begins Sun-
day and runs through March
13, showcasing African,
French. Spanish. Mongolian
and English films.

Annette Mayer. an orga-
nizer of the festival. said the
chosen films are “excellent."

According to the festi-
val's Web site.
wwwoneworldfilmfestivalco
m, this program aims to
“stimulate discussion and in-
crease understanding of is-
sues of race. culture and eth-
nicity."

“It sounds like a great
idea to culturally enlighten
UK students," finance junior
Wes Young said.

Several of the films have
received awards from the
American Black Film Festi-
val and the Emmy Awards or
Academy Award nomina-
tions.

Diana Rast. a committee

children of

member and Gatton College
of Business and Economics
staff member, said she wants
the festival to bring “insight"
and to “broaden horizons. "
“It gives young people a
better perspective on differ-
ent issues," said Amanda
Burkholder. a civil engineer-
ing freshman. “There is tru-
ly something for everyone."

This diverse showcase of

films will be shown around
Lexington in Central Library
Theater, the Kentucky The-
ater and Worsham The
