English junior Sarah ltokernot puts groceries from the Euclid Ave. Kroger in her car. IIokernot. who lives off campus, said the
storm took out her heat and electricity. "All the food in my fridge was gone, so I had to completely restock." she said.

A place to keep warm: Due to power outages and lack of heat,
many are flocking to local business for food and warmth

ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR

Inside the Euclid Kroger. employ-
ees were busy Sunday and Monday
packing perishables into vats of dry
ice, hoping not to lose merchandise to
the power outage.

Across town on South Broadway,
Winn Dixie experienced a flourish of
business. being one of the only Lex-
ington grocery stores open.

“Money-wise. our business has
doubled." said Bobby Cheatham,
Winn Dixie‘s assistant store manager.

Consequences of the ice storm -—
power outages and unsafe driving
conditions — have separated Lexing-
ton businesses into just two cate-
gories: open and closed.

“We've never experienced any-
thing to this extent." said Tony Pfuelb.
store manager of the Euclid Kroger.

The McDonald‘s on Limestone
was closed until Tuesday morning.

Chris Chandler, shifl manager at
McDonald‘s on Limestone. said the
Nicholasville Road location was the
only one open in the last three days.

Since his McDonald's was closed,
Chandler went to the one on
Nicholasville Road to help. “We had
cars lined up on the street waiting to
get in," Chandler said.

Jimmy John's. a sub shop on
Limestone. was busy despite the

storm.

“There are a lot more people eat-
ing inside because they don't have
power at home." said Matt Sackett,
manager and owner of Jimmy John‘s.

Jimmy John’s had to close at 5
pm. on Sunday and 9:30 pm. on Mon-
day as opposed to the normal 2 am.
The shop was forced to stop deliveries
due to hazardous driving conditions.

“(Drivers) were calling me and
saying, ‘I can‘t get down this road,”
Sackett said.

Still, he said Jimmy John‘s and
its neighbors were bustling. “Busi
ness between Pazzo‘s and us has been
wonderful the last few days." he said.

Scott Sanders, manager of Paz-
zo‘s. agreed. “Everyone wanted a
warm meal and a warm place to sit."
he said.

Pazzo‘s, a pizzeria. was only
opened four hours on Sunday. but
Sanders speculated that business on
Sunday was equal to any weekday.
Monday‘s business was about 30 to 40
percent over the average, he said.

“It has been kind of hectic. but
still worth it." he said. “Yesterday it
never slowed down."

As life in Lexington creeps closer
to normal. so do stores and restau-
rants. Winn Dixie. Jimmy John‘s and
Pazzo‘s have slowed in business.

“The lunch rush today was noth.
ing like yesterday.“ Sanders said.

With the recent weather, not having
enough ice isn't the problem; it's having
too much.

McDonald‘s and Kroger have
opened and are bringing in cus-
tomers. People are coming into
Kroger. buying necessities and pre-
made foods. like deli food. said Ted
Payne. the assistant manager.

Still. it might take time to get
over the loss of revenue. “It‘s a seri-
ous amount." Payne said.

College of Health Sciences moves to new building

STA" WRITER

For the first time in its 37-year
history. the College of Health Sci-
ences has a place to call home. The
college is now housed in the new
building on the corner of Rose
Street and Limestone Avenue.

“It is probably the best building
in the country for a college like
ours." said Dr. Thomas Robinson.
dean of the college.

The College of Health Sciences
was the last college in the medical

center to get a new building. Jack
Murrell. an administrative officer
at the college. said that they had
been working in substandard con-
ditions.

“One of the places the college
was housed before the new building
was in two motels that were literal—
ly falling down around us." he said.

College administration and
professors have been in the new
building since Nov. 11. 2002. The
ribboncutting ceremony will be on
Friday at 10 am. The past three
months were spent moving furni~

Robinson said he wanted the
building to be in good shape for the
public to see for the ceremony.

Before the college moved into
its new location. it had, been frag-
mented between buildings on and
off campus. The college's majors
have been housed in the UK Hospi-
tal. the VA Hospital and a building
in the Winn-Dixie Plaza.

The College of Health Sciences
has been planning for the new
building for 13 years. Murrell said
the college spent the 1990s fund
raising and lobbying the Kentucky
Legislature in Frankfort for the

‘

new building. The college raised $2
million in external funds. which
came from alumni. professors and
organizations that employ the col
lege‘s graduates. The legislature
contributed $30 million and the
building was approved in 1098. The
ground breaking began in Decem-
ber 1999.

Robinson believes the new
building will provide a much better
environment for the students.

“Now they have a student
lounge. a personal locker. a mailbox
and an outdoor patio for relaxing."
Robinson said. “We're tickled to
death to be in here with its clean.
efficient space to work in."

 

 

1 ‘Major' pain:

Some unsure
of study plans

Solutions: UK advisers offer
help for undeclared students

By L'K standards. sophomore
Chad Gilpiii Will soon be within a
few credit hours of having to make a
difficult task choosing his major.
However. he has no idea of what he
wants to do, He is undeclared. but
not alone.

Of all undergraduate students
at UK this semester. 2.109 are unde-
clared. said Vicky Schankula. assis-
tant director of the Central Advising
Service and Transfer Center.

Students with undeclared ma-
jors are allowed to take courses until
they earn 60 hours. at which time
they have to declare a major.

This rule concerns Gilpin. “I‘m
sure I'll get shoved into something I
don‘t want to.“ he said. “If it's the
wrong thing. I‘ll waste thousands of
dollars and hours."

Stacey Spears. an undeclared
sophomore. has already decided that
she will major in communication
disorders. but sees the 60-hour rule
as a way to provide more time to be
sure about that major.

“I didn't want to declare only to
change my mind." she said. “I
looked at the courses I had to have
for communication disorders. like
psychology. before I was even sure
about choosing that as my major."

Spears' decision to study com.

munication disorders stems from
wanting to work with children. “I
knew I wanted to work with chil-
dren. but not teach." she said. Before
she came to college. she worked at a
YMCA school age program. This
work helped to develop her interest
in the careers that those with a com-
munication disorders degree pur-
sue. such as speech therapy. or work
with hearing impaired or autistic
children.

UK's attempts to help unde—
clared majors go beyond academic
advising.

Mary Bolin-Reece. director of
the Counseling and Testing Center.
located in Frazee Hall. said the cen-
ter offers individual meetings with
one of their staff psychologists. The
center also offers career inventory
tests. which compare the test-takers”
interests to those who are already in
a particular field.

Spears took one of the tests in a
UK 101 section designed specifically
for undeclared majors. “It pointed
out interests of mine." she said. “It
sort of helped me make up my
mind."

The Counseling and Testing
Center staff tries to help students to
think outside of what others may
have been telling them to major in
and consider what they themselves
want. she said.

“A lot of parents will say ‘I want
my kids to earn a living.“' said
Bolin-Reece.

“When I told my dad that I did-
n‘t know what to major in. he told
me to be a business major He said I
could do anything with a business
degree. But if I did that. I‘d be a sell
out. I hate business classes." Gilpin
said.

Gilpin's main interests are in
English and art. but he still can't de
cide on a major.

“The stuff I‘m interested in is
what you don't make money in ~
that's the problem." he said. “I‘m not
really that worried. but I need to pay
bills."

According to Dr. Sharon Childs,
a career adviser. some undeclared
students opt to do job shadowing.

t‘hilds also recommends that
undeclared students visit one of the
many career fairs the center offers.
The next fair will be virtual — tak-
ing place via the Internet _, from
Feb. 24 through March 7.

“Realize as your life goes on,
your decision can stray." said Bolin.
Reece. who did her undergraduate
work in journalism at UK. She had
planned to travel around the world,
working for National Geographic
instead. later in her life. she chose to
jump to a career in psychology and
went back to school.

“You have to revise or rethink
your decisions." said Bonn-Reece.

Paul Patton said in a statement that the pro
posed budget will not adequately fund edu-
cation. Medicaid or many other governmen-
tal services. Patton proposed a $570 million
tax increase. yet virtually conceded defeat
while doing so. All other facets of state gov-

Student Government elections won’t be held
until March, but next year’s president and repre-
sentatives might already be saddled with a bur-
den. The current administration is requesting fi-
nancial support from a university discretionary
account to ease a possible budget deficit this
year, which could be as much as $10,000. But UK
officials say such aid is unlikely, so the deficit
will likely be covered by next year’s SG budget.

Since the deficit will be covered regardless of
aid from UK. the error isn't egregious. But it il-
lustrates a lack of responsibility and shortsight-
edness by SC leaders. And it also represents an
unneeded trend.

SG Chief of Staff and Comptroller Justin
Rasner said the organization faced a similar
problem last year when a shortfall of about
$10,000 was carried over to this year’s budget.
This means SG President Tim Robinson. who is
in his second year in office, has run a deficit in
consecutive years. Now it looks like next year‘s
president will have less to work with because of
his administration.

The deficit is also alarming because of the

36 should budget
carefully, responsibly

nonchalance SG leaders greeted it with. “It
won’t be a big deal if we don’t get the money,”
Rasner said. Statements such as this suggest a
lack of respect for the budgeting process, the use
of students’ funds and future SG leaders. A
deficit might not mean much to SG members
who will vacate their posts after this year, but it

will to those who will in office next fall.

The deficit is also more than a little ironic.
Lavish. SG-sponsored and funded parties have
been the organization’s claim to fame during
Robinson’s tenure. Plus, UK President Lee Todd
has already given SG about $36,500 out of a uni-
versity discretionary account this year. About
$11.500 was earmarked for the Valentine’s Day
President's Ball and $25,000 went toward a coun-

try music concert SG held last semester.

The deficit prompted SG adviser John Herbst
to transfer SG‘s remaining discretionary funds
to a general account. SG must get approval from

Herbst to spend any money from that account.

The organization should avoid making
deficits a trend and budget responsibly in the

futures.

God bless
free speech

The free speech police are back again. but this time
instead of the ACLU. it's our own government. A story
mostly ignored by the media suggests certain commonly
used phrases may be too offensive to liberal sensibilities
to be uttered without strong repercussions. One of these
phrases: "God bless you." Formerly used to show thanks.
sympathy or acknowledgement of someone's sneeze, wish-
ing God's blessing upon someone can now get you fired. "

Vietnam veteran Patrick Cubbage. a military honor
guardsman at Brigadier General William C. Doyle Veter-
ans Memorial Cemetery in New Jersey. was fired after
saying. "God bless you and this family" during a burial
service last fall. Cubbage has obtained the services of the
Rutherford Institute, who is now looking into the right of
the government to censor a citizen's speech about God. '

Cubbage had taken part in more than 2,000 funerals.
and had offered this same unacceptable blessing hun~
dreds of times. The cemetery claims Cubbage wasn't dis—
missed for saying the blessings. but for not following the
"standard phrase for each service." This despite the ceme
tery‘s own protocol covering flag presentation: "If the
next of kin has expressed a religious preference or belie .
add: 'God bless you and this family, and God bless the
United States of America."' 3

So was it the family's complaint that got Cubbage
fired? Nope — the family was religious and wanted the
blessing. It was, in fact, another cemetery employee who
was offended and filed the complaint that initiated the‘fir-
ing. That's right — according to the state of New Jersey,
the right of the cemetery employee to not hear the name
of God supersedes the right of the family of a dead veter-
an to receive a blessing. One important question to asleis
what is so offensive about a blessing from God anyway?
Christians, Jews and Muslims all believe in God, so pre-
sumably the word ”God" wouldn't cause them great men-
tal anguish. And what about the minute number of athe-
ists in the United States? Do they have the right to .go
through life without any of the hundreds of millions of
religious Americans voicing their beliefs in the general
vicinity of them? Not if the First Amendment still
stands. If you don't believe in God. what does it matter‘t‘o
you if someone else does? It's like talking to an adult
about Santa Clause -— should that too be censored?

This is simply a case of the absurdity of political cor-
rectness crossing the line and breaking the law. The sepa4
ration of church and state implied in the Constitution
was originally intended to keep the government from in-
terfering in anyone's right to practice his or her chosen
religion. The new mutation has the government and lib-
eral interest groups not allowing people to practice their
faith in any arena where public funds may be involved for
fear of litigation. f,

In typical "sign of the times" fashion, this policy does
not carry over to treading on anti-God folks. The federally
funded National Endowment for the Arts routinely
wastes taxpayer's money on talentless "artists" whose
masterpieces include pornography and paintings of the
Virgin Mary — in feces. -' _

I hear gasps of outrage when President Bush has the
