could have meant the difference be-
tween life and death.

With snow-covered roads and
freezing temperatures in January,
travel to the closest hospital involved
a drive to neighboring Ephriam
McDowell Hospital in Danville. Ky.,
or llumana Hospital in Somerset, Ky.

But there is help for Casey and
other rural counties in the state,
compliments of UK‘s Medical Place-
ment Services.

The placement service was in-
strumental in the establishment of a
Primary Care Center in Casey

County with two medical interns on site.
“We could send a thank you card the size
of our courthouse to UK and (placement services
director) Don Buecker for all of the help in making
medical care available to our community." said Casey
County Judge—Executive David Johnson of Liberty,

Ky.

and remain close to my Kentucky home," Huffman

said. “Don Buecker and Mary Mount
Hospital made this possible."
Kentucky's population is almost
evenly divided between rural and
metropolitan area, but 70 percent of
the state‘s doctors work in urban are-
as, leaving a short supply of medical
professionals to service rural areas.
To help improve this ratio, the st-
ate legislature created doctor-
placement offices at UK and the
University of Louisville in 1990.
Buecker arrived at UK that year,
and to date he has placed 30 percent
of medical residents from UK in

hortage areas across Kentucky.

The placement service at UK acts as a
liaison between medical trained personnel and medical
facilities in need of health-care providers. Cities and
counties designated by the state as “health professional
shortage areas" are targeted.

By Perry Brothers

Self-defense instructor Tim
Mallory informed an attentive
group of women this weekend how
easily a woman can hurt a man.

Mallory was not igniting a gender
war.

He was demonstrating techniques
for RAD, Rape Aggression
Defense, a program sponsored by
the UK Police.

He and Holly Davis, both in-
stmctors of RAD classes, were inv-

ited to speak as pan of a collective aDnéBoeAthletics Director Kathy throughout the morning. and Anne manage," she said. “When I was afteracerémony atNoiBai lnter- some mots, the biggest of

The speakers participating in the
conference focused on the theme
“Life After College: Myth vs. Real-
ity.“ More specifically, the
workshops dealt with the realities
women face after graduation.

Although the RAD demonstration

women. Mallory's sentiments
permeated the entire conference.

“Be taught. practice and have the
confidence to know that you would
be prepared for any situation,“ he
advised the crowd of about 300.

The workshops began after a 30-
minute introduction by UK Assist-

symposium began in October. Co-
nference co-chairwoman Paige

Bendel stressed that although the
conference was sponsored by the
Panhellenic Council, it was not just
for women in sororities.

“It is important to the campus
that women get information that
they wouldn‘t get at UK without the
conference," she said.

Other workshops offered during
the three-hour event addressed such
issues as sexual harassment,
financial independence, entrepren-
eurship and the development of
women's organizational and leader-
ship skills.

In addition to the lectures and exhibit, the
King Center is sponsoring a black film fest-
ival, titled “Celebrating the Sisters." There
also will be two musical concerts at
Memorial Hall.

The King Center attempts to
share African and black cultures
with the UK students through-
out the year, but Grundy says
this is the month when
students take the most advant-
age of what the center has to
offer.

“Really, we want students to
realize that what we are
doing this month is act-

  
   
          
  
      
     
 
   
 
 

  

 
    
 
   
 

 

 
   
 
 

expounding “practical applications
on how to be successful — both in
business life and personally."

West emphasized that women
must keep their options open.

“A woman‘s approach to life and
work is valuable in the workplace
as cooperation rather than competi-
tion becomes the way to success,"
she said.

Following the conference,
psychology junior Karrice Guerrant
said she benefitted from the experi-
ence.

overwhelming things you have to

And Senate Republican Leader
Bob Dole asserted that a decision
by Clinton to order air strikes

But Clinton — along with other

ending the bloodshed in the former

A day after he sent a US.
