You may not know it to look at her, but Melody Carswell keeps a
secret. She’s hidden it from her students, her colleagues and many of
her friends. But she’s not hiding it anymore.

um mm I tram surr

Until she began telling them, most students had no idea that Melody Carsweil, a UK psychology professor, was keeping a secret.

STORY BY ANDREA UHDE ° PHOTOGRAPHS BY MARK BOXLEY AND HOLLY DAVIS

elody Carswell tells her secret quickly. '
She doesn‘t talk about the embarrassment and pain she's been through; the class doesn't hear about that.
She doesn‘t tell her students about all the dinners and business parties she's skipped. or the time she was

stalked by a strange man but couldn‘t report him to the police because she had no idea what he looked like.
And she certainly doesn't tell them that they are about to hear something that few people know.
She ﬁts the secret in between the questionnaires and the overview of the class syllabus. right about when the 70 or so
students start checking their watches.
“Let me share some things about myself," she says as she meanders down the aisle. her tiny magnifying glass dangling
from the rope around her neck. She doesn't hesitate. doesn't take a deep breath to ready herself.
“I'm legally blind."

Part-time job? Local plasma donation companies
say students comprise 10 to 15 percent of donors

By Keren Henderson
STAFF VlRllER

Quincy Burt. a communications freshman. sits back as a
technician prepares his arm and inserts the needle. He
watches his blood ﬂow into a device and then return to his
body. The whole process is completed in under half an hour.

He does not ﬂinch or feel any pain. This is his normal
routine. Burt volunteers regularly as a plasma donor.

He joins a growing number of college students who have
turned to plasma donation to boost their incomes. It allows him
to make money and play the humanitarian at the same time.

The $55 that he earns each week from donating helps
Burt pay for school. books, insurance and car payim r ' a.

“Donating is for a good cause, plus it's a bent ' ‘ .‘ me."
Burt said.

Both plasma donation companies in Lexingt:
steady stream of students. Aventis Bio-Services
Circle. reported that 15 percent of their donors . gr
Nabi BioMedical Center. 817 Winchester Road, «in.
dents make up roughly 10 percent of their donor-s

“The majority of plasma donors donate for tm reasons
— it is an easy way to earn some extra money and it is a good
way to help other people.“ said Kim Cayz. the director of cor-
porate communication for Aventis Bio-Services.

The main concern is not with a student’s motivations
scald Allison Medley, assistant manager of Nabi BioMedical

enter.
.d“We‘re just interested in getting them in here," Medley
sai .

She said it is her opinion that it is the money that at-
tracts students.

The rates given in exchange for plasma vary for each
donor’s body weight. Two donations a week. which is the
maximum allowance, pays around $200 a month at both Aven-
tis Bio-Services and Nabi BioMedical Center.

Neither donation center had official data on where stu-
dents spend their money. Cayz said anecdotal evidence sug-
gests that students use the money to support their school ac-
tivities, for entertainment and to buy books.

The plasma centers see the greatest inﬂux of students
during the weeks leading up to spring break. Aventis Bio-Ser-
vices gears their ads directly towards college students who
are going to need extra money for trips.

Though biology senior Ben Henshaw has never given
plasma himself, his roommates have gone to get extra cash
for spring break, he said.

Donating plasma is similar to donating blood. The blood
is transferred from a vein in the donor's arm to a machine
that removes the plasma. After this ﬁltration process. the
blood is returned to the donor along with a saline solution. A
donor's plasma is replenished within two hours of the proce-
dure. The entire process takes about 30 to 50 minutes.

Plasmapheresis is generally pain free, but some students
have had bad experiences.

Civil Engineering Junior Mike Adams donates blood reg-
ularly but decided to donate plasma when he needed money
to put gas in his car. He said after the procedure he became
extremely fatigued and had trouble attending classes.

“I hated it,” he said. “I’ll never go back there again."

But Cayz said that students should look at whom they are
helping. Their plasma helps people dealing with hemophilia
and immune deﬁciency diseases. It is also used in emergency
care situations.

It is for this reason that Cayz applauds the system as a
“win-win" for all involved.

Democrats prepare for iillbuster

WASHINGTON Democrats prepared
Wednesday for a battle of nerves with Presi
dent Bush attd Senate Republican Leader
Bill Frist over the White House's nominee to
an ttttportant appeals court. Democrats say
they will use a filibuster to keep Miguel
Estrada front being continued for the l'.S

bia (‘ircuit utttil the Washington lawyer an
swers tttore of their questions. “This is no
gaitte we're playing.” said the Senate's sec-
ond-ranking Democrat. Nevada‘s Harry
Reid. “This is a filibuster. We have a rigltt to
do that." Bush said the Democratic plan to
block his nominee. who would be the first
Hispanic judge on the appeals courts. was
"shameful politics.“ Frist wartted Democ-
rats that he might force thent to stay in the
Senate cltatttber at night and on weekends
itittil he gets a ﬁnal vote on Estrada. "I think
it is important for America to understand
that your side of the aisle is whether or
not you use the word filibttster or not . is
obstructing or stalling a process that is int
portant to our judicial system." said Frist.
R-Tenn. Democrats have ttot yet tried a tra-
ditional filibuster on Estrada. although they
say they will if necessary. That ttteans law-
makers take over the Senate ﬂoor attd refuse
to allow the Senate to go hotne or tttove to
other business until they get their way. That
type of filibuster is rare today. Senate histo-
riatt Don Ritchie said. “The old image of
‘Mr. Smith Goes To Washington.‘ attd one
senator holding the Senate for hours attd
hours doesn't happen anymore." Ritchie
said. Democrats complained about his re-
fusal to answer questions about speciﬁc cas-
es. including abortion rights. and to provide
copies of the memos he wrote while work-
ing for the Justice Department. Since Estra-

have accused Democrats of treating hint un-

The GOP has the 51 votes needed to conﬁrm
him but not the votes to stop a ﬁlibuster. De—
ntocrats “can vote against him. That is their
right. And if that is what they want to do.
that is the proper exercise of their constitu-
tional duty," said Senate Judiciary Chair-

A similar strike was car-

in the southern no-fly zone
set up by the United States
and Britain.

over northern and southern
lraq to be violations: of its
sovereignty and has repeat-
edly tried to shoot down the
US. and British warplanes
patrolling them. lraq has
not succeeded in downing a
piloted plane over either
zone.

The targeting of Iraqi
surt'acetosurface missiles
is a new twist in the period-
ic [7.8. airstrikes in south-
ern Iraq. which usually are
aimed at elements of the
Iraqi air defense system.
The surface‘to-surface mis-
siles could be used in a me
emptive Iraqi attack on the
tens of thousands of US
and allied forces that are as-
sembling in Kuwait in
preparation for a possible
invasion.

About 480,000 leaﬂets
with five messages were
dropped Wednesday over a
number of locations outside
Baghdad and near the south-
ern city of Al Basrah, ac-
cording to a statement from
Central Command.

One version of the
leaﬂet told of radio frequen-
cies where Iraqis can tune
in to anti-Saddam U.S.
broadcasts; another showed
allied warplanes bombing
military tanks outside a
mosque. warning civilians
to “avoid areas occupied by
military personnel.“

Others warned the Iraqi
military against shooting at
US. and British warplanes
that have been enforcing the
no-fly zones.

The United States has
dropped more than 2 million
leaflets this month, follow-
ing the 4 million dropped in
January.

The Pentagon also is

broadcasting nightly radio
programs about efforts to
disarm Saddam.

It has sent e-mails to
Iraqi generals to encourage
dissent and defections and
warn them against using
chemical or germ weapons
against US. or allied forces.

"it's so big I can't really

making them an unlikely
team to put an end to the na-

streak. They entered last in
the conference's American
Division and in danger of
not even making the postsea-

“I would have been hap-
py to beat Hazelwood Central

cause we really needed a

said. “I‘ll go on record and
say we outworked them."

turnovers. Louisville (18-2. 8-
1 C-USA) had won 17 in a row
since a two-point loss to Pur.
due on Nov. 30 in the second
game of the season. and
coach Rick Pitino said the
Cardinals' 14-for-20 showing
at the free-throw line was the
difference.

“They played a terrific
game and stopped a streak

we had a lot of fun with,"
Pitino said. “Now it's time to
start a new streak."

This was by far the low-
est scoring total for
Louisville. which is averag-
ing 84 points, and had no oth-
er players in double figures.
Center Marvin Stone. averag-
ing 13 points, was scoreless
in 30 minutes.

“Top to bottom, they're a
lot more talented team than
we are." Sloan said. “Hus—
tling was going to be the dif-
ference to pull out a win."

The Cardinals had been
the only team in the country
with one loss.

U.S. braces for potential attack
after terror level is upgraded

Code Orange: The nation remains at “high risk"
of terrorist attacks at the end of six days

WASHINGTON 7— Anti-
aircraft missiles guarded
Washington's skies and Capi-
tol police carried gas masks
Wednesday as the nation mo-
bilized to confront a poten-
tial terrorist attack.

Federal. state and local
governments tightened secu-
rity. anxious Americans
stockpiled food and water. and
police responded to scores of
false alarms. including re-
ports of suspicious vehicles
that shut down commuter
bridges in Washington and
New York.

The nation remained un~
der a Code Orange “high
risk" of attack status for a
sixth day. and no change was
in sight. Counterterrorism
officials said the level of
threat information pointing
to an imminent attack re«
mained high. but steady.

“If given the choice. a1-

Qaida terrorists will choose
attacks that achieve multiple
objectives. striking promi-
nent landmarks. inﬂicting
mass casualties. causing eco-
nomic disruption and rally-
ing support through shows of
strength." CIA Director
George Tenet told the Senate
Armed Services Committee.

Tenet said he is worried
that a new audio message at.
tributed to terrorist master-
mind Osama bin Laden is a
prelude to a strike.

"He's obviously raising
the confidence of his people.
He's obviously exhorting
them to do more." Tenet said.
“What he's said is often fol-
lowed by an attack."

Fearing the worst. US.
officials deployed Avenger
anti-aircraft missiles and ex-
tra radar around Washing-
ton since President Bush's
decision Friday to raise the
alert status from yellow to
orange. the secord-highest
