Prof to discuss her advances in medicine

By Elizabeth Troutman
THE itiiiUCkvktitNEL"

Sylvia Daunert hopes to show female stu-
dents at UK that there are no limits to what
women can achieve in the ﬁeld of science.

The UK chemistry professor will present
her ovm accomplishments in science at the
Distinguished Professor of the Year lecture
tonight. Her lecture will focus on several pro-
jects she is conducting in collaboration with

Mark Madou. a professor at the l'niversity of

California.

The Distinguished Professor Award recog~
nizes an outstanding professor based on re»
search. service and teaching abilities. It is the
highest honor a pmfessor can receive at UK.

Daunert balances her career with a fartiily
of three children. ages 16. 14 and 3. She aims to
prove that women cart have a career in science
and a family

“It is something I really want to stress be
cause we have so many bright women." she
said. “I don't want any misconception that be
cause this is a very demanding career. you

can‘t have children."

The 5—year-old native of Barcelona. Spain.
said she had a love for science at a young age.
She received tenure in 1991.

She said working in sci-
ence came natural to her. but
she recognizes her col;
leagues' support as the key to
her success.

"You develop into a cer-
tain type of scientist the
more you move on. the Tilt tr"
you study. the more you dc
velop into it." she said. "You
need too look into new things

Daunert

constantly"

Daunert said many women who have grad-
uated from her research group are now out
standing women in the field.

Her riiost notable project is the develop-
ment of the "smart pill." which is an im»
plantable pill that will serve as a sensory de
vice in the body to administer medication. The
device is designtxl for diabetes patients. among
others. to monitor levels of insulin needed in

the body. She has been working on the smart
pill for about four years.

Currently. the Food and Drug Adrninistra»
tion is reviewing liauriert‘s pill. which needs
its approval before being made available to pa-
tients. liaunert estimated the FDA should ap
prove it in about ﬁve years.

Daunert is also working on research on the
genetic engineering of proteins from jellyﬁsh
to he used for diagnostic tests for humans, She
said the proteins of jellyﬁsh enable scientists
to detect conditions such as pregnancy

Her research is funded by NASA. the Na-
tional Science Foundation. the National lrrsti
trite of Health. private corporations and the
l'.S. Army: Her research was recently featuned
on NBC News.

She attributes her success to the students
who work with her.

“They (My accomplishments) belong to my
research group the graduates and under»
graduates that have been through my lab."

The lecture is at 7 tonight in the Singletary
(‘enter‘s Recital Hall.

more consetyative in other areas
(of the S(‘. birdgeti." Nash said.

“Everything on our platform

is feasible. and a lot of research
has gone into it." Nash said.

Some students at the forum

A UK student was raped in a residence
hall before Spring Break and reported it to
UK police. but she does not intend to press
charges. according to a UK police report.

The date rape took place March 6 in
Keeneland Hall between 1:30 am. and 8
am. The student later reported it to poliCe
three days later Alcohol or drugs were not
a factor. according to the report.

Police have the name of the man ac-
cused of the date rape but have not re-
leased it because he has not been arrested
or charged. '

“They're going to keep investigating."
said Maj. Joe Monroe of the UK Police De-
partment.

The hall director of Keeneland Hall de-
clined to comment.

Carol Jordan. director of the (‘enter
for Research on Violence Against Women.
said news of the rape is distressing. but
the fact that it was reported may be a sign
of change at UK,

“It‘s with terrible sadness that any of
us hear of another

MONEY ﬁTYERS I Savvy saving and spending
I bet it’s not worth an uncertain payoff

events. but I‘m willing to bet tnost of us
have some sort of monetary value riding
on the outcome of this gatne-by-game 19-
day tournament.

We‘re all familiar with the innocent
$2 entry-fee pool. where the one who
picked the most game-winners will walk
away in April with maybe a couple c-
notes. Elsewhere. gambling on college
sports is a major addiction. where riches
only you and I can imagine are at stake.

Bill Ursel. director of a problem gam~
bling community operated by the Cana-
dian Mental Health Association. recog-
nizes the serious problems gambling can
cause.

“For some who gamble, the impulse
to wager is uncontrollable." Ursel wrote
in an article for the Gaming Studies Re-
search (‘enter of the University of Neva-
da Las Vegas. “For these people. gam~
bling is no longer a recreational activity.
or even an attempt to rationally balance
risk and reward. but a problem.“

Society doesn‘t make problem gam-
bling any easier. With ESPN's airing of
the World Poker Tour and “Tilt." gam-
bling seems to surround us.

From sports to card games. gambling
is a dangerous activity that can make or
break anyone. especially us college stu-
dents. Picture losing not only the money
in your checking account. but also your
car just because you thought you had
the winning hand in a simple game of
blackjack.

College may seem like the perfect
time and place to pick up gambling. The

method seems so easy _. why not place a
few sure shot bets online. or even with a
bookie. and try to score some fast dough?
Wouldn‘t that be nice?

Anyone who's visited a casino and ac-
tually gambled knows how it feels to see
his or her money disappear.

It‘s an addiction. You bet, you lose.
you bet some more, you lose some more

.. all in hopes of winning your money
back. In the end. you’re stuck with an
empty wallet and an empty glass of well-
bourbon and melted ice.

If you‘re going to gamble, know your
limits. Much like creating a budget.
know how much money you’re willing
and able to lose. Once that amount has
vanished. as hard as it may seem, quit.
Also. don‘t be afraid to quit while you are
ahead. should you reach that good of a
run.

For those of you who visited Las Ve-
gas for Spring Break and experienced
the wrath of excessive gambling, learn
from your mistakes and stick to the free
booze and cheap steak dinners next time.

if you or anyone you know has an ad-
diction with gambling and has a desire to
stop. contact Gamblers Anonymous for
immediate help.
