National anger: Students from US. campuses
hold ‘call-in,’ local students rally at bottling plant

By Nikole woire
STAFF WRITER

A 20-ft inflatable Coke bottle
greeted students on their way to
the Student Center yesterday for
lunch. but it had nothing to do with
thirst.

The bottle was a part of nation-
wide student attempt to gather sup—
port the environment.

Declared the Day of Activism.
over 20 colleges held a call-in to
several major corporations asking
them to change their environmen-
tal policies.

UK‘s student environmental
organization, Green Thumb. met in
the free speech area on campus
with the 20ft inflatable Coke bottle.

They felt it was important to
take part in the call-in to raise the
companies‘ awareness of students
concerns.

Three major corporations.
Coca-Cola. BP Amoco and General
Motors were targeted at the call-in.

“We hope that by flooding the
companies with calls from college
students. the companies will see
the need to change their policies."
said Susan Roth. 3 member of
Green Thumb and a biotechnology
sophomore.

Green Thumb members and
other students called the compa-
nies and said they refuse to work
for them until the companies take

action to protect the environment.

Green Thumb claims Coca-
Cola broke a promise to use 25 per
cent post-consumer recycled plas-
tic in its bottles.

Members said they are aware
that Coke does some recycling but
that it is only recycling a small per-
centage in its plastic bottles and is
not holding up to its promise to use
25 percent.

The Coca-Cola representatives
were very courteous and helpful to
the students that called in. They
stated the company‘s policies on re-
cycling and offered to send out in-
formation in the mail concerning
their recycling efforts.

Coke representative Chris. a
member of Industry and Consumer
Affairs in Atlanta who was not al.
lowed to give his last name due to
company policy. responded to the
call‘in by stating that Coke does re-
cycle aluminum products and plas~
tic bottles.

When asked if Coke uses 25
percent recyclable material in its
plastic bottles. Chris said. “The
percent of recyclable material that
Coca-Cola uses is not made avail-
able by the company for public
knowledge."

However. The Dirty Jobs Boy-
cott Campaign said that it gets its
information from the plastic indus-
try trade publication Plastics Recy-
cling Update. The magazine states

that in 1994. (‘oke stopped produc-
ing 25 percent recycled plastic and
let the amount of recycled content
in their containers fall to 3-4 per-
cent. And according to the maga-
zine. it would only cost Coke 1x10
of a penny more per Bil-ounce con—
tainer to use 25".. recycled plastic.

Students at the callin also con-
tacted BP Amoco. asking it to stop
its attempts to drill for oil from the
Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

(‘ritics say the oil drilling will
harm the unique ecosystem.

Also targeted was General Mo
tors. GM belongs to the Global (‘li-
mate Coalition. a group campaign-
ing against sensible global warm-
ing policies.

Students participated in the
callin because they are concerned
for the environment.

“I think it's very important to
take care of trash in the most re
sponsible way." said Candace (‘ull-
man. a non-degree student who
called the Coca-Cola (‘ompany

Two police officers were pre-
sent at the protest.

Campus police chief Rebecca
Langston said that it was campus
police policy to send officers to any
event. if they were notified. for the
sake of ensuring safety of all stu-
dents.

John Herbst. director of the
Student Center. said that Green
Thumb notified his office last week
about today‘s activities.

Nutritional research center proposed

By Chris Markus
ASSISTANT MEWS EDITOR

Proponents of a new Graduate
Center for Nutritional Sciences
will appear Monday before the Uni-
versity Senate to pitch their pro-
posal.

Graduate School Dean Mike
Nietzel said if the senate approves
the plan for the center. UK will bol-
ster its standing as a Top 20 public
research institution.

Nietzel predicts the senate will
approve the idea.

The center. which would be
based in the Allied Health build-
ing. is being created for three main
reasons. the first of which is re-
search.

“The university needs to be-
come recognized nationally in nu-
tritional research." Nietzel said.

The second purpose of the cen-
ter is to train graduate students

seeking a master's or a doctorate in
the field of nutritional science.

Nietzel said the center will en-
hance the nutritional science pro-
grams already in existence.

Third. the center will be used
to provide nutritional services.

The idea of the center has been
kicked around in various forums
at UK for years.

In 1993. after an evaluation by
the Periodic Program Review. it
was determined that UK needed a
multidisciplinary center for nutri-
tional science that would encom-
pass all graduate programs in the
field.

By 1997. a presidential task
force projected that with more in-
vestments the nutritional science
program at UK would become a na-
tional leader in graduate education.

Nietzel identified two sources
for the center finally becoming a
reality.

First. the opportunity for in-
creased funding makes the re-
sources needed to create the center
more available.

Second. Nietzel said the center
is the best way to satisfy the need
for faculty and graduate students
involved in nutritional studies to
be brought together.

When created. the center will
be the only institution in the state
to offer an MS. and PhD. in nutri
tional sciences.

If approved the center will
open in 2001. but Nietzel said the
search for the facility‘s director is
already under way.

At this point. four candidates
are being considered for the direc—
tor position.

Although the names of the can
didates have not been released. it is
expected that the new director will
be a senior-level. leading scholar in
nutritional science research.

Latest gun tradgedy: Calls for gun
control, education escalate after incident

STAFF AND WIRE REPORT

MOUNT MORRIS TOWNSHIP. Mich. A 6~year-old boy
shot a schoolmatt,‘ to death today in their first~grade classroom,
authorities said.

A single shot was fired inside a classroom at Buell Blemen~
tary School near Flint about 10 am. Police (‘hicf Eric King said.

It was not immediately clear if the shooting was accidental
or intentional. but Genesee (‘ounty Prosecutor Arthur A. Busch
said authorities were investigating reports that a playground
fight preceded the shooting.

The ti-yearold girl died about 10:30 am. hospital spokes-
woman Stephanie Motschcnbachr*r said.

The boy was in the custody of the state Family lndepen»
dence Agency. Busch said. adding that regardless of what an in
vestigation reveals. it may be impossible to bring charges
against the boy. but someone may face charges for allowing the
boy to obtain the gun.

“There is a presumption in law that a child is not crimi-
nally responsible and can't form an intent to kill." he said. “()b‘
viously. he has done a very terrible thing today. but legally. he
can’t beheld criminally responsible."

Kelley (I'Mahoney. an architecture freshman. hoped that
the incident could lead to at least one positive change.

“Hopefully now this will bring about more awareness with
the upcoming election to the issue of gun of control." she said.

President Hinton. in Florida for a Democratic National
Committee fund-raiser. challenged Americans to consider gun
safety during this year‘s presidential elections.

"flow (lid that child get that gun" Why could the child fire
the gun?" (‘linton said. “If we have the technology today to put
in these child safety locks. why don‘t we do it?"

While many will soon be quick to blame media or violent
video games for the boy‘s actions. Erin Schultz. an agriculture
freshman at I'K. felt another factor was at fault. saying Ameri»
can family values have digressed.

Roughly 300 children attend Buell I‘Ilementary. About 22
pupils were inside the classroom when the shot was fired.

Buell I‘llementary thirdgrader (‘orey Stilton. 9. said he
heard a bang and thought a desk had fallen.

Then. “The principal came over the PA system and told
teachers to shut their doors and lock them. I was scared. my
heart was pounding.” he said.

Police closed off nearby streets. and parents picked up their
children from a church across the street. The pupils who were
in the classroom where the shooting happened were being ques-
tioned by police.

Busch said officials “will get to the bottom of how that gun
got in this little boy's hands.

“We‘ve had other schoolchildren take guns to elementary
schools before... but it never went this far with it." he said. “It's
a sign of our times where we have a fully armed society that
doesn't take its responsibility to secure its weapons seriously."

Bush. McCain battle in Va., Wash.

ARLINGTON, Va. -- In the final test of polit-
ical strength before next week‘s 13-state “Super
Tuesday" showdown, George W. Bush and John
McCain battled in Republican presidential pri~
mary voting yesterday in Virginia, North Dakota
and Washington state. On the Democratic side.
Bill Bradley and Vice President Al Gore squared
off in Washington state. No Democratic delegates
were at stake. but the former New Jersey senator
hoped for a symbolic victory to breathe life into
his troubled campaign. In the race for the 1.034
delegates needed to win the Republican nomina-
tion, McCain had 96 and Bush 93 headed into to-
day‘s contests.

Russia claims rebel stronghold

STARIYE ATAGI, Russia — Russian forces
claimed control of Chechen rebels‘ last major
stronghold yesterday. and government soldiers
elsewhere in the breakaway republic embraced
and toasted each other in the belief that the move
heralds the end of the war. But although troops
raised the Russian flag over the town of Shatoi.
fighting persisted in the mountains outside town
and some rebels ventured out of the mountains
to launch attacks in the plains that Russia seized
weeks ago.

China, 0.3. swap Taiwan warnings

BEIJING ~ Seeking to ease tensions over
Taiwan. the commander of US. Pacific forces
warned Chinese military leaders yesterday that
any use of force against the island would be re-
garded “with grave concern“ by Washington. a
US. official said. Adm. Dennis Blair's appeal for
restraint comes after China stepped up pressure
on Taiwan ahead of the island's March 18 presi-
dential election. In a declaration last week, China
for the first time said Taiwan risked attack if it
indefinitely rebuffed demands for unification
talks.

Parties push separate education plans

WASHINGTON - Republicans and Democ-
rats outlined diverse visions of how to improve

tax credits so parents can save for private and

No breast teedlng may cut HIV

CHICAGO A , A new study in Africa suggests
the number of infants who get the AIDS virus
from their mothers could drop by more than 40
percent if infected women avoided breast-feed-
ing. The authors studied 401 HIV-infected women
and their infants in Kenya. The mothers were
randomly assigned to breast-feed or to use formu-
la. The authors found that formula use prevented
44 percent of infant infections. Their findings ap
pear in today's Journal of the American Medical
Association. United Nations' figures show that
590.000 infants got HIV from their mothers in
1998. 90 percent of them in Africa.

said Britney Boyd, an architec-
ture freshman.

But one UK class lucked
out.

Robin Davis, a teaching as-
sistant in the statistics depart
ments, has a daughter who
sells Girl Scout Cookies. Davis
gave her students the chance
to get their hands on a box of
the seasonal taste treats.

Among the two sections of
statistics she teaches, students
bought about 50 boxes of the
once a year treats.

Davis knows the craving
for Girls Scout cookies only
too well. For two and a half
years while she and her hus-
band lived in Alaska, Davis
did not get any solicitations to
buy cookies. She had to have
her mom in Kentucky buy
cookies and send them to her.

The Girl Scouts of Ameri-
ca are known for their tasty
treats and cute faces, and this
time of year the public gets the
joy of experiencing both.

The eight different types
of cookies have been selling
strongly and have helped fi-
nance the Girl Scouts in their
many activities throughout
the year.

Of the famous cookies, one

of the most popular treats is
the Thin Mint cookie, which
makes up 25 percent of the to
tal sales for the organization.

Central and eastern Ken-
tucky have a fancy for the
Caramel deLites rather than

Henry, communication man-
ager for the Girl Scouts

Bill seeks 0 report “v

crimes on campus

Don't ask, don't tell?: UK is already
compliant to proposal, say officials

STAFF AND MRI REPORT

What you don't know can
hum you.

This saying is now the cen-
ter of controversy in the Ken—
tucky Legislature. the argu—
ment being whether or not
crimes on campus. including
fires. should be public knowl~
edge.

“I think it is a good idea."
said John Vogel. an undeclared
freshman living in Kirwan 1.
”Students and parents should
definitely be aware of the possi-
bilities of fires in a dorm."

House Bill 322 would make
Kentucky colleges maintain a
daily log recording all crimes
on campus. It also requires
campus security to report a
fire. or a threat of fire, to the
state fire marshal and the local
authorities. All this informa~
tion would be made available to

the public.

The bill is known as the
Michael Minger Act. in honor
of the student who died in a
dorm fire in Hester Hall at Mur-
ray State University on
Sept.18.1999. Two other stu-
dents were injured when the
fire broke out and a former stu-
dent is awaiting trial on mur-
der and arson charges.

Minger‘s parents. Gail and
John Minger. have given emo-
tional speeches to the House in
support of the bill.

The bill. sponsored by Rep.
Jim Wayne of Louisville. first
passed the House in the Educa-
tion committee where it was
then sent to the House floor.
The bill has been amended and
is currently under review by
the House of Appropriations
and Revenue.

Gail Minger said she feared

the bill was reassigned so it
could be killed quietly.

“It‘s a way to not take care
of something they do not want
to take care of." she said in an
interview Wednesday.

The heart of the bill , a
waiver of “sovereign immuni-
ty" for institutions that fail to
report campus crimes was
deleted by the Education Com-
mittee. In the bill‘s present
form. the maximum penalty
would be 113300 tine.

Gary Beach. UK Fire Mar»
shal. said UK already reports
fires on campus.

"This wouldn‘t effect UK."
Beach said. “This office already
reports all fires to the state fire
marshal. I even reported the
Sigma Pi fire even though it
wasn‘t on campus. Plus all the
information is available to the
public.“

The UK police also make
crime reports available to the
public. They are available at
the police station or accessed
through the UK web page.

Bush rebounds at polls

Remind you of Patton?

With an enormous American flag as a backdrop, John McCain adresses an audience Monday in Tacoma, Wash.

ASSOCIATED PRESS

ARLINGTON. Va. _
George W. Bush coasted past
John McCain in Virginia‘s Re-
publican presidential primary
yesterday. buoyed by the reli-
gious right and party faithful to
fatten his stockpile of delegates
in advance of next week‘s 13-
state “Super Tuesday“ show-
down.

With the see-sawing Repub~
lican presidential race exposing
a rift between the party's con-
servative and moderate wings.
Bush said McCain paid a high
price for attacking evangelical
leaders. “The voters of Virginia
rejected the politics of putting
one religion against another."
the Texas governor said. “We
are expanding our base without
destroying our foundations."

Their bitter fight also was
waged in North Dakota and
Washington state. but Bush
won the bulk of the day‘s dele-

gates. 56. in the capital of the
old Confederacy. He easily de-
feated McCain in North Dako-
ta‘s caucuses to pick up 14 addi-
tional delegates to take a nar-
row lead in the race toward the
1.034 -- the number needed for
the GOP nomination.

Both campaigns awaited
late returns from Washington.

Sounding tired but defiant.
McCain told backers in Bakers-
field. Calif.. that Bush was
guilty of deploying negative tac»
tics. “My opponent wants to be
president in the worst way. I
want to be president in the best
way.“ With the pink evening
sun dipping beneath an Ameri-
can flag serving as his back-
drop. McCain said. “We‘re still
the underdog. Don‘t forget it.
But we‘re going to win Tues
day.“

The Texas governor won
because Republican voters
overwhelmed independents and
Democrats who crossed party

lines in support of McCain. a
warning sign for the Arizona
senator as he prepares for New
York. California. Ohio and 10
other states conducting GOP
contests next Tuesday. “I've
proven I can bring Republicans
out in big numbers.“ Bush said.

At press time. only two per-
cent of Washington state‘s polls

Conference

By Katie Nelsen
STAFF WRITER

Women from all over the
world are coming to UK this
weekend to discuss sexuality.

The 2nd Annual UK
Women‘s Studies Graduate
Student Conference will ex-
plore this year‘s theme. “Cross-
Cultural Perspectives on Sexu-
ality."

Two keynote speakers. Ash-
wini Sukthenkar. author of Fac-
ing the Mirror: Lesbian Writing
from India. and Eren McGinnis,
co-producer of The Girl Next
Door. a film documentary exam-
ining the life of a California
porn star. will be in attendance.

“The conference is a good
way to express issues on diver-
sity.“ said Susan Mains. UK
teaching assistant in the depart-
ment of geography and coorga-
nizer of this year‘s conference.
“The conference is a nice way
to provide a forum for the cul-
tural perspective on campus."

The discipline of Women's

discusses sexuality

Studies was developed because
of a lack of study of feminism
and feminist issues. Mains
said that the conference will
provide an open atmosphere
for students and faculty to
come together and discuss such
issues.

The conference will ex-
plores topics ranging from sex-
uality and fantasies to virtual
sex and sex in the media.

Bernadette Barton. UK
teaching assistant in the
Women‘s Studies department
and co~organizer. said a num‘
ber of UK students are taking
part in the conference.

“What this conference is
doing is bridging an academic
connection between UK and
Lexington." Barton said.

Barton said the Women‘s
Studies Conference would help
UK become a Top 20 public re-
search institution.

“Women's studies is not
only interested in academic re-
search. but political and com-

D

munity outreach. as Well." Bar-
ton said.

Friday night‘s premier
showing of McGinnis' film. The
Girl Next Door, directed and co-
produced by Christine Fugate.
will provide insight into the
life of a California porn star.
McGinnis hopes that the film
will open up debate about the
porn industry and the way in
which pornography appeals to
society.

“Porn is a huge business.
not only consumed by men.“
McGinnis said. “Looking at is-
sues of sexuality had every-
thing to do with feminism.“

While the topics of the con-
ference are centered on a cross-
cultural theme. the organizers
of the conference believe such
thought~provoking research
can appeal to all disciplines.

“This conference allows a
venue for student work."
Mains said. “it gives people the
chance to discuss topics and
ideas with other people.“
