UK Staff Senate's October meeting
became host to a forum featuring 12 lo-
cal politicians yesterday.

Those speaking included Lexington
Mayor Teresa lsaac. her opponent Jim
Newberry and other city council mem-
bers and state representatives.

Each speaker was given 15 min-
utes. James Keller, candidate for the

eludes Lexington, was the first of the
l2 and opened the meeting with a ques-
tion.

“How many of you are satisfied
with what’s going on in Frankfort?"
Keller said.

None of about 40 in the room
raised their hand.

He said he wasn't satisfied either
and would work to correct it with ini-
tiatives on communicating the impor-
tance of UK staff.

The topic that was addressed by
most and drew the most audience ques-
tions was the importance of a UK staff
voice in both local and state govem—
ment.

“1 know how important staff is to
any organization.“ Keller said. “When
I'm (elected) you will have a voice at
the table."

Later. Alice Forgy Kerr, 12th dis-
trict state senator who is running
against Keller in the upcoming election.

responded to an audience member on
the same topic. She invited the entire
UK Staff Senate to Frankfort where she
would publicly recognize them in the
state legislature.

Newberry drew applause from the
audience with similar comments.

“I can‘t imagine that this university
will get a ‘Top-ZO‘ status if we don't
support the people that work there.“ he
said.

George Brown. a candidate for a

Lexington City Council at-Iarge seat.
said if elected he would not be able
vote on any pertaining issues because
of his concurrent UK employment. But
he added he would lobby others in gov—
ernment to give the UK staff a more
"viable" wage.

The speakers did not limit their dis-
cussion to UK. City transportation was
brought up both by the speakers and
audience members.

SG compares
dining on
UGA visit

By Blair Thomas
news@kykernel.com

Six members of Student Government left for
the University of Georgia yesterday morning to
discuss and compare dining programs.

The senators are hoping to learn from UGA.
one of UK’s benchmark institutions. and bring
back suggestions for improvement for UK Dining
Services.

“We are taking this trip because Student Goy-
ernment knows the students want to see Dining
Services improve." said SG Vice President Mallo-
ry Jenkins. “We can only hope to learn from
UGA's top ranked program."

The senators joined representatives from UK
Dining Services and Residence Life on the trip.
The group will go on tours of the dining facilities.
meet with the heads of the dining program and
exchange ideas for improvement.

“We're grateful to get the opportunity to look
at a program that is structured just like ours."
Jenkins said. “1 know we will have a lot of great
suggestions for the administration."

UGA has a meal plan set up like UK‘s current
plan that gives students a set amount of meals per
day and additional ﬂex dollars.

But Jenkins says she knows UK can learn
from other dining bonus programs that UGA‘s
program implements.

“I hope the senators who make this trip find
that they are really interested in this issue." said
SG President Jonah Brown. “We are looking for
senators to serve on the 85 Percent Task Force.
and I think those who have had the opportunity to
meet with the representatives from UGA will be
able to contribute a lot,"

When the senators return this aftemoon. they
will meet with UK Dining Services to discuss
possible changes on how different aspects of the
department operate.

“We're looking at many different things."

When Andrew Kimbrough first saw “Sum—
mertime" with his wife in Pasadena. Calif. he
couldn’t stop thinking about the show for weeks
after the performance.

“l was so moved by the play and the speeches
in it that my wife and I just couldn't stop talking
about it " said Kimbrough a theatre faculty mem-
ber and the director of UK‘ s production of Sum—
mertimc."

Kimbrough is hoping that UK‘s performance
has a similar effect on audience members.

“This show invites thought and discussion."
Kimbrough said. “As an educational institution. 1
think we need to offer something like this."

“Summertime.“ an ensemble play written by
Charles Mee. opened last night at the Guignol
Theatre. The play focuses on the relationships of
its 13 adult characters. Many of the relationships
explored are considered non-traditional. and be-

Breast cancer forum aims to reverses fear

By Susannah Marlowe

news@kykernel. com—

An estimated [2 percent of female UK stu-
dents will develop breast canccr in their life—
time.

UK Doctors Heather Wright. Angela Moore
and Heather Pierce are hosting an information-
al Breast Cancer Awareness Forum Saturday to
break down the fear behind the disease.

Many women are afraid of breast cancer.
but Wright said fear isn‘t necessary. Education
on the subject can help women get to a doctor
and begin receiving treatment earlier.

“More education can help people get to a
doctor earlier." Wright said.

The forum is being held at It) am. in the
WT. Young Library Auditorium in honor of
National Breast (‘ancer Month.

Aside from diminishing fear of breast can
cer. the forum is designed to inform women of
treatment options.

Wright. co-director of the Comprehensive
Breast Care Clinic. said breast cancer “if
caught early is very treatable."

“Self breast exams should start at puberty
and. in general. mammograms should start at
age 40." Wright said.

Breast cancer is caused by gene mutations
and therefore can run in the family. Wright
said. Women who how a family history of
breast cancer are more likely to dc\clop it at an
earlier age. For “omen \\ rth a family history of
breast cancer. doctors recommend that the first
mammogram be earlier than 4“.
