New Rose Street facility
will be accessible for all

By Anne Glllopsls
Staff Writer

UK President Charles
\Vethington announced yesterday
plans for a new career center that
will improve opportunities for UK
students and alumni in their pur—
suit of a job.

“We need to rovide facilities
that will support e latest comput—
erized information that will assist
our students in their search for
career 'ppportunities,” Wethington
said. “ ‘s new UK Career Center
will do all that and more.”

The new center, to be con-
structed next to the King Alumni
House on Rose Street, is a $2 mil—

lion investment.
The first $1 million will be

provided by First USA, a Bank
One com any. This money was
designate specifically for the UK
Career Center by First USA
throu h a credit card agreement
with t e UK Alumni Association
and the UK Athletic Association.

The current career center, in
the Mathews Building, lacks facili-
ties needed to offer maximum
opportunities to students and
alumni, said Melissa Moore, UK
student ambassador. '

“Because of the lack of space
and visibility, the career center has
not been used to its full potential,”
Moore said.

The new center will provide
benefits not currently available,
such as better intern and co-op
programs, more space and person-

nel, on-line computer access and
more advanced equipment.

“It will be complete with a state-
of—the-art career library, which will
help students identify their career
possibilities, to become involved
with identifying their values, skills,
abilities, and begin relatin these
with the real world,” sai Larry
Crouch, director of student services
at UK.

In the past, the cramped, handi—
capped-inaccessible career center
had difficulty conducting career fairs
and interviews, VVethington said.

“We need facilities that are
physically up—to-date in every
respect, and readily accessible to
every student, no matter whether
that student has a disability or
not,” Wethington said. “\Ve need
facilities that are attractive to cor—
porate recruiters, and that make it
easy for them to use, including the
availability of parking.”

Crouch said the new center will
host 800 to 900 companies each

year with the intentions of rovid—
ing more opportunities fgr stu-
dents to find jobs and, more
importantly, develop careers.

The main purpose of the
planned career center will be to
provide services and the facilities
to assist students in their quest for
finding em loyment, Crouch said.

“One 0 the obvious and most
important things that the alumni can
do for UK graduates, young or old,
is to help them find a job," he said.

The center will begin construc-
tion in 1998, and will also offer
services to alumni.

Crouch said, “The center will
contain a large section set up to
assist alumni in all phases of their
career planning and placement
processes."

However, he said the career
center will not be based around
the UK alumni.

“This truly is a winning facility
for the entire University, but
especially for the students."

Km '1 CLEAN Greg Dinkens, owner and senior piercer at The Hole Thing, checks to make sure all materials are sterile prior to use.

Safety critical in keeping

customers, critics happy

By Jonlca Coy
Stafl Writer

50 you want to get pierced. If
ou value your health, do your
omew0rk and choose your

piercer carefully.

Accordin to the Association of
Professiona Piercers’ “Checklist
For Choosing a Piercer,” the pop-
ularity of picrcin has brought an
“abundance of frighteningly irre-
sponsible butchers into the pierc-
ing industry.”

“Many college students who
get piercings go into it with a
spur-of-the-moment, s rin -
break kind of mentality, said
Greg Dinkens, owner and senior
piercer at The Hole Thing.
“What they don‘t realize is how
easily a piercin can get infected.
We see about vc or six infected
piercings a week.

“An infected piercing can be
caused by anything from jewelry
that’s too small or made out of the

4

so”.

wrong material, to improper
aftercare or the positioning of the
jewelry," Dinkens added.

Gina Stringer, an education
junior, has had her own “bad
piercing” experience.

“I had my navel pierced, and it
always got infected, Stringer said.
“I took it out over a year ago and I
still have a huge scar.

“My friend has had her navel
pierced for over three years and it
still gets infected.”

UK Health Educator Pam
Woodrum said student health
clinic hysicians see about one or
two in ed piercings a week.

Some signs of infection are an
odor coming from the pierced area,
drainage or puss buildup, bleeding

and swelling, Woodnim said.

“If a student sees any si s of
infection theyvshould see a octor
right away,” oodrum said.

There are several factors to
consider when thinking about get-
ting pierced.

Accordin to “Gettin What
You Want rom Body t," an
informative brochure compiled by
ETR Associates, “A piercing gun
should never be used except for
earlobes, and only certain metals
are safe. Jewelry used should be
made from 3261.. surgical-
implant-grade stainless steel 14-
or 18- karat solid gold, niobium or
titanium only. Jewelry made from
anything else increases the risk of
in ection or allergic reaction."

The piercing studio should be
well-lit and clean; piercing should
be done in a separate room; the
piercer should use sterile, dispos-
able iercing needles, individually
steri ized and bagged tools, and
fresh latex gloves with every
client, according to Association of
Professional Piercers’ literature.

Before getting pierced, inter-
view thc artist and check out the
studio, Dinkens said. Remember
that you are buying a service and
have a right to know about the
artist’s training and experience.

“Many people who go into a

iercing studio are intimidated,“
Binkcns said. “However, a
piercer should make you feel
comfortable, answer all your
questions, and not have a know-

V

t

it-all arrogant attitude.”

Most states do not yet regulate
the piercing industry.

“I have een pus ing for pierc-
ing regulations and certification
requirements for years," Dinkens
said. “With pro er health regula-
tions, many of the problems asso—
ciated with piercing could be
avoided. Done properly and fol-
lowed up with proper aftercare, a
piercing can be something that
you can enjoy for a lifetime. It is
an extension of yourself, a state-
ment of individuality."

Holly Coleman, acting deputy
commissioner of environmental
health, said that a roposal regard-
in regulations gr the piercing
'n ustry was resented at the Boar
of Hea th‘s ctober meeting, and
that the health department is con-
ducting a study to assess health
risks associated with piercing.

The stud will be resented at
the Decem er Boar of Health
meetin , after which decisions will
be ma c regarding the proposed
regulations.

“We are responsible for public
health,” Coleman said, “but we
need to assess the risks connected
to icrcing before we make any
dectsions regarding regulations.”

 

Speaker's locus:
Pot laws unjust

Heather Nally
Stuff H 'riter

The action in the Moot
Courtroom .at the UK Law
School Thursday was not a mock
trial, nor a lesson in litigation.
But instead the courtroom was an
ironic backdrop a ainst a speech
on the injustice o marijuana laws
in America.

Award-winning journalist Eric
Schlosser, a contributing editor
ofAt/antic Alonthly, spoke on the
“Reefer Madness" within the
American judicial system. He has
received the National Magazine
Award for his articles on marijua—
na criticizing the harsh penalties
for marijuana offenders.

Schlosscr said one out of
every six inmates within the
federal penal system is incar—
cerated for a marijuana offense.
Last year, 600,000 people were
arrested for marijuana charges,
costing the country $2 billion.
More people are arrested for
marijuana charges than mur—
der, rape and kidnapping com-
bined.

“The national average is six
years in prison for a convicted
murderer, and yet the prisons
are full of low—level non—vio—
lent drtig offenders.” Schlosser
said. “This society is out of
whack."

The drug war is really a war
against drug users, he said, pro-
viding a scapegoat on those not
conforming to the “traditional"
American roles.

“The drug laws have been a
very effective tool or weapon to
go after people this society

doesn’t like," he said. “The
majority of people who smoke
crack cocaine are white.

“If you look at the people in
prison for crack cocaine, it's
something like 75-80 percent
black and in some places it's ()0
percent black"

The war and laws against
marijuana have nothing to do
with protecting the people‘s
health, Schlosser said. A person
would have to inhale 100 lbs. per
minute to receive a lethal dose.
But the war on pot continues
even though the influence of
alcohol accounts for half of the
murders committed.

“Marijuana is a symbol of so
many awful and promiscuous
things that threaten to destroy
this country," he said.

Even though governmental
penalties for marijuana offenders
are harsher than ever before,
marijuana use continues to
grow, especially among high
school and college students.
Schlosser said. So efforts to ban-
ish marijuana use through heavy
penalties are not working.

“One of the reasons, I think,
that so many young people are
smoking pot again is because
they’re seeing from their own
personal experience that what
the drug is and what the drug
does is very different from the
D.A.R.E.-style crazy anti-drug
campaign in the 19805," he
said.

Schlosser said he believes
that the war on drugs should
become less focused on punish-
ment and more focused on
rehabilitation.

Golden A ge feel

returns in theatre

By Dan O'Neill

Entertainment Editor

This Halloween, the magic of
movies will show its undying
nature with the rebirth of the
State Theatre. The Kentucky
Theatre’s little brother returns
after a decade, sharing the mar-
quee for the first time.

After small American theaters
underwent a sort of depression
and a fire damaged both theaters,
they were shut down in 1987. By
popular demand, the city took
over the Kentucky Theatre in
1989, restoring it to its present
luster. Over a year ago, the city
talked about plans to do the same
for its companion.

Finally, six-months ago, reno-
vation began full-force to revive
the 68-year—old theater. With
state-of-the-art Dolby Di ital
sound, satellite capabilities an the
“best lit stage in Lexington,” the
State Theatre is definitely born
again.

Fred Mills, manager of the
Kentucky Theatre, said of the
addition, “We’re thrilled to death
with the we things have turned
out. It shoufd provide a real shot
in the arm.”

With the 6-week calendar
we‘re locked into things at the

Kentucky. The State will give us
more flexibility and we’ll be able
to show newer films uicker.”

At less than half t e size of the
Kentucky (the State having 350
seats and the Kentucky having
800), the State Theatre looks t
act as an outlet for ver- .
satility.

The State‘s reper-
toire will open its
doors to another mid—
night movie, minicon-
certs, teleconferences
and corporate meet-
ings. Additional] , the
theater will ouse
more first-run films
and give opportunity
for successful Ken-
tucky films to spill
over.

Mills said of its sig—
nificance to students,
“For college students,
the Theater lies
between two cam uses and is only
a five minute wal . Many students
who perhaps didn’t like French
films or some of the other off—beat
films of the Kentucky will have
more to their liking at the new
theater.”

The State Theatre lobby, locat-
ed just off the Kentucky’s, will fea—
ture an art gallery Furnished by

 

local artists. The theme, which
changes every month, begins with
“Lexington: Past and Present,”
featuring black and white stills,
paintings and even abstract sculp-
ture.

As for the State Theatre’s past,
it dates back to 1929, two years
after Al jolson spoke “Wait a
minute, you ain’t heard nothing
yet,” in the ]azz Singer, and a year
after the Kentucky became
equip ed for the new “talkies.”

“T e owners of the Kentucky
built the State to compete with
two theaters down the street: the
Strand and the Ben Ali. It wasn’t
as ornate as the Ken-
tucky and it was much
cheaper I think it
was 10 cents admis-
sion,” said Mills.

Although not as
ornate, The State was
considered an “atmo-
spheric theater” for
its design resembling
an Italian arden.
Fully equippe with a
courtyard, castle and
s , movre-goers
could feel as if they
were under the stars
during a film.

Today, in attempts
to preserve the look,
the city hired local artist Kijsa
Housman to paint a mural over-
head.

Rainy days in the theater won’t
be the same, as she painted a lush
green garden setting and blue sky.
Technology and art meet in the
hanging cloud-sha‘ped panels
which add to an alrea y rich atmo-
sphere as well as aiding the acous-

tical treatment.

As finishing touches, the city
replaced the light bulbs with spe-
cial fiber optic cables to bring out
the stars when the main feature
begins. The nostalgic feel harkens
to the Golden Age of movies when
theaters were more than multiplex
box—office machines.

“It’s got a good feel. There’s a
nice depth and it easily has the
best front—row seats in Lexing-
ton,” Mills said.

As a celebration of the opening,
Mayor Pam Miller and the Lex-
ington City Council have planned
a reception available to the public
on Nov. 18. Those attending have
the choice to watch UK men’s
basketball on the new screen or
the Humphrey Bogart classic
Casablanca on the Kentucky’s
screen.

As Mills summed up, “People
have the choice between Tubby
and Humphre .”

With satellite capabilities, the
theater sees showing basketball
games on the big screen a viable
possibility. The large seating
capacity combined with its exist-
in alcohol license and the possi-
biFity of selling pizza ma pro-
vide an impressive venue fhr Cat
fans.

For now, the State Theatre
opens tonight with Richard
Gere’s controversial new film Red
Corner and a midnight showing
of Peter Jackson’s The
Frighteners. The Halloween
event offers the chance to grab a
piece of Lexin ton history and
witness an en to a decade of
dormancy with the rebirth of the
State Theatre.

SEC ’5 top pass defense

leaves foes m its wake

By Price Atkinson
Senior Staff H’riter

Halting the “Aerial Raid" is a
tall order for any team.

LSU head coach Gerry DiNar-
do said he’s stumped.

“VVe‘ve struggled against the
pass this year,” DiNardo said.
“How we’re going to defend Ken—
tucky — it’s the million-dollar
question."

Hal Mumme hinted at a possi-
ble solution. Tiger defensive tackle
Chuck Wiley says one — not two
— is the key to stopping it. Couch
said the opposition is “laying off."

Try a two—deep zone on
defense.

“\Ne lost 17 football games at
Valdosta State and I think 15 of
them were to teams that played
that type of defense,” Mumme
said.

21 losers.

The Cats and the No.16-ranked
Tigers battle tomorrow at Cont-
monwealth Stadium with kickoff
slated for 6:30 p.m.

Why has this two-deep zone
haunted the Cats on certain occa-
sions this season?

“Early in the year, we were get-
ting a little bit more blitzing and a
little bit more man coverage, and
we were getting a lot of big plays,
the long ball a lot," UK quarter—
back Tim Couch said. “I got a lit-
tle greedy and tried to force the
ball deep against the zone.

“Now people are starting to lay
off us and we’ll just have to throw
underneath.”

Steve Spurrier’s crew grew
impatient and tried to throw the
ball downfteld more in an attempt
to make things happen. LSU tnade
them pay.

LSU starting cornerback
Cedric Donaldson, who leads the
lea e in interceptions with six,
pic ed off two Dougjohnson pass-
es in the upset over UF. Donald-
son has returned two INT’s to the
end zone, while strong safety
Raion Hill has nabbed two passes
ofhis own.

Complementing the Tigers‘
secondary is a defensive line led by
Wiley #— one of the SEC’S top pass
rushers and All-Southeastern Con-
ference selection in 1996.

“I think everybody is playing

to ether and playing as one,”
W iley said. “They’ve got a lot of
weapons and I think it’s solid all
the way around.“

Mumme said he is expecting
tnore zone because ofthe five play-
ers in the purple and gold sec—
ondarv.

“That's kind of their base cov—
erage is nickel," Mumme said.
“They like a four-man line, two
linebackers, and then five defen-
sive backs. They will blitz you
some, and they have the athletes to
come off the corner and get to
you."

In the Tigers' last outing, LSU
came out flat after the win over
UP, and Ole Miss took full advan~
tage, usin similar style screens to
their flanEers and short passes to
the backs, handing LSU its second
loss in Death Valley this year.

“Ole Miss ran a lot of under—
neath crossing
routes and
threw it under-
neath all day,"
Mumme said of

the Rebels' 36—
21 victory
which saw Ole

plays, LSU uti-
izes a “bandit”
unit; employing the second team
defensive line and linebackers who
are fresh.

Mumme compared the LSU
“bandits" to the scheme Mississip—
pi State defensive coordinatorjoe
Lee Dunn employed when the
Bulldogs catne back in the second
half to defeat UK, 35-2 7.

“They brought in three backup
linebackers and three backup
defensive lineman and used them
to put the rush on, on third down
situations,” Mumme said.

“(Dunn) had those big guys
who could rush the passer, but if
they played 50 to 60 snaps, they
wouldn’t be as effective.

\Niley said the different
schemes UK has been matched up
with have been quickly dismantled
by (Iouch’s arm.

“I don't know too much of what
other teams have done, but he just
picks them apart," Wiley said.

The Tigers have not played
since the loss to Ole Miss back on
Oct. 18 and have had the extra
practice time to prepare for UK
and Couch.

DiNardo said he expects more
from his team Saturday than the
last time they played.

“We did not play or prepare the
way we should have," DiNardo
said. “I think anytime you feel like
your last effort wasn’t good, as a
competitor, you're anxious to
come back right away.”

‘D’ stunted without Snetlegar

By Mike Heppermann
Sniff U '1 tier

UK's passing offense is ranked
number one in the country.

It’s a fact that has received a
lot of attention this year. and it is
the tnajor reason for the \\'ild-
cats matching their win total

from last year with three gatnes

left in the season. L'K
faces another formidable
offense this Saturday
when LSU tnarchcs into
Commonwealth Stadium.
And while it’s important
for UK's offense to con—
tinue to put up impressive
numbers, it’s the defense
that must highlight
tomorrow's game if the-Cats are
to beat LSU.

Leading UK‘s defensive stand
this year are linebackers Bob
Holmberg, Lee “'esley, _]eff
Snedegar and Ryan Mur by.
Snedegar leads the team with 71
tackles, but has not seen as

“I’ve worked so hard to get

Murphy has stepped up his role
in light of Snedegar's diminished
playing time.

always know he's going to do his
job," Murphy said. “If there‘s a

The Cat's defense suffers with

In 'arz'es take center stage

as Cats fight for [MAC lead

By Jill Erwin
Senior Staff Writer

It all comes down to this.

One game, one opponent, one
conference title on the line.

This is what college soccer is all
about.

“This is an opportunity for us to
win our first conference champi—
onship," UK coach Ian Collins
said.

“We need to be focused and
play very well to achieve that goal.”

W'ith a UK victory over Miami
on Sunday and an Akron loss to
Marshall, UK (11-5-2, 5—1 Mid-
American Conference)
wins the MAC out-
right.

If UK and Akron
both win, they tie for
the re lar season title,
but ron receives the
top seed because they
beat the Wildcats last
Sunday.

The game cost the team more
than just a victory.

UK freshman keeper Brian
O’Leary had surgery yesterday to
repair a broken bone and torn liga-
ment in his thumb. The injury
occurred 15 minutes into the game,
and O’Leary is out for the remain—
der of the season.

The injury to O’Learv thrusts
former MAC Player of the \IVeek
Chris West back into the goal.

“I have every confidence Chris’
ability,” Collins said.

“He has been practicing well
and been patient. I have no doubt
he’ll ste up and play
very wel for us.”

Sophomore forward
Michael Stickler had 12
stitches after being
struck in the face.

He is out of Sun-
day’s ame. Senior
midfiel er Brien
Baltzell also suffered a
severe calf strain and is
listed as day to day.

“It’s our task to match their
emotion and their energy.”

Miami is led by three seniors:

Chad Crandell.

Leonard is the leading scorer,
with nine goals and nine assists (27
points total), and Reutter and
Crandell lend experience to an oth—
