Breaking ground

Markey Cancer Center making treatment
more efficient for area lung cancer patients

By Mark Vanderhoff
cmpus mm

The Markey Cancer Cen-
ter announced a new develop-
ment in the fight against can—
cer —~ “one-stop shopping.”

That‘s how Dr. Susanne
Arnold, associate director of
the new Multidisciplinary
Lung Cancer Program, de-
scribed the cooperative effort
to make treatment more effi-
cient and complete for lung
cancer patients.

“Instead of going to differ-
ent doctors all over town. they
can see all the medical special-
ists they need in one day,"
said Mullet. a medical oncolo-
gist at the Chandler Medical
Center.

The program is modeled
after the Markey center‘s
Multidisciplinary Breast
Cancer Program and the few
similar programs emerging
across the nation. said Dr.
Timothy Mullett, director of
the lung program. chief of
general thoracic surgery and
director of the lung trans-
plant program at the Medical
Center.

Patients see a team of

medical specialists in the
morning consisting of a tho-
racic surgeon. radiation oncol-
ogist. pulmonary physician,
medical oncologist and pallia—
tive medicine specialist. he
said.

The team meets around
noon to discuss the patient.
and by afternoon meets with
the individual. he said.

“We can combine our the-
ories to give them a compre-
hensive care plan." he said.

The program offers op-
portunities for research, like
experimenting with some
drugs that haven‘t been ap-
proved by the FDA yet. and
participates in national stud-
ies on lung cancer Arnold
said.

Dr. Edward Hirschowitz, a
pulmonary physician involved
in the program, researches in-
novative treatments for lung
cancer.

Hirschowitz. an assistant
professor at the College of Med-
icine. uses gene therapy and
immunotherapy to treat tu-
mors, according to a report by
the Medical Center.

“This is a research proto-
col.“ Arnold said. “It’s also a

ment from all these different
departments."

A program like this one is
especially relevant in Ken-
tucky. she said.

“Lung cancer is at crisis
level in Kentucky.“ she said.
“Kentucky has 1.4 percent of
the US population. but 2.3
percent of all lung cancer pa-
tients. Whereas 53 percent per
100,000 cancer patients die in
the US. 80 percent die in
Kentucky."

When he came to Ken-
tucky. one of the first things he
noticed was the high rate of
lung cancer. he said.

“Lung cancer kills more
people in Kentucky than many
other forms of cancer com»
bined." he said.

Mullett attributes these fig-
ures to the high rate of smok—
ers in Kentucky.

UK voted education innovators

PC Week sizes up competition, Big Blue comes out on top
as the nation's measuring stick for computer technologies

By Robert Ouan
STAFF WRITER

Isn‘t it nice to know the technology fee.
you pay each semester isn't going to
waste? PC Week has named UK as one of
the top 100 innovators in government and
education.

Jeff Moad. assistant editor of the mag-
azine. said this means of all the education-
al and government institutions they
looked at. UK is one of the top innovators
in using new computer technologies.

“It's nice to be recognized." said Gene
Williams. vice president for Information
Systems. “I'm very pleased."

Williams said UK employs a state-of-
the-art technology strategy.

“We want to be prepared for anything."

Williams said UK has been aggressive
about investing in computer labs and net-
works. UK implemented its technology fee
with the idea that none of the computers

or software in the labs would ever be more
than two or three years old. and that none
of it would be obsolete.

The two main reasons he thought UK
had been put on the top one hundred list
were its networking capabilities and the
computer labs in the new library.
Williams said.

“For a long time. our strength has
been networking." Williams said. “I think
we‘re comparable to any institution. and
better than most."

Stephanie Neal. also of PC Week.
said the magazine teamed up with Ziff
Davis Inc. Market Intelligence. 3 re-
search firm that is part of the Ziff Davis
publishing empire. which also publishes
PC Week.

Market Intelligence maintains a data-
base of the technology used at more than
300,000 educational. corporate. private and
government sites.

PC Week created a model that award-

ed points for using cutting edge technolo-
gies anti applied it to sites in state and
federal governments and higher educa-
tion. The model was plugged into the Ziff
Davis Market Intelligence database to get
the results.

“We‘re shooting for innovation." said
Moad. who helped develop the judging
criteria. “If a site was doing one of the
things we were looking for. they would
get a point."

Moad said the magazine tended to
favor Internet-based technology.

A few of the criteria were the num-
ber of web servers. Internet and elec-
tronic commerce applications. the speed
of Internet servers and the use of Java
to create applications.

“I think it's fairly obvious that the
University has to be on the forefront of
how technology is used." said Robert
Shapiro. associate dean for Research
and Graduate Studies in the College of
Education.

“I think used correctly. technology
could be a real boom for education. used
incorrectly it could be a real disaster."

A voice
for the
students

No platform is no problem
for candidate bent on
voicing students' concerns

new

SGA WRITER

Cartwright Stephens is the only
presidential candidate without a plat-
form. Why‘.’ He‘s focusing only on stu-
dent concerns.

“I want to be the voice of the stile
dents." he said. “and ifl had a predeter-
mined platform. we wouldn't he doing
what‘s good for the students we want
the students to decide what's impor-
tant.“

Stephens. a communications junior.
is running with .Ioe Sclineggenburger.
also a communications junior.

So what got
Stephens to run?

“When I was get-
ting my petition
signed. students said
that none of the other
candidates asked them
what their concerns
were." he said, “That's
what got me fired up."

By not having an
agenda. Stephens plans
to focus totally on stu-
dent concerns.

“Agendas (platforms) are great. you
need them lint when you already
have one made. you have no room for
student concerns." he said. “We are go
mg to let students set our agenda after
the presidential elections.“

Stephens does not like the current
situation of SGA.

“Somewhere. the buck has to stop."
he said. “People need to know what‘s go-
ing on. It can stop with the president
and the vicevpresident because they‘re
not doing their job. You can hold us ac-
countable."

“What‘s important to its. is what's
important to them (the stiirleiitsl."
Stephens said.

man, just beginning college. StIA never

Milosevic offers ‘concessions'

BELGRADE, Yugoslavia _, Slobodan Milose
vic said yesterday that NATO air strikes must
stop before peace talks over Kosovo can resume.
A statement from Milosevic’s office, read on state
TV after the president had six hours of talks with
Russian Prime Minister Yevgeny Primakov, said
Milosevic would reduce his forces in Kosovo and
allow refugees to return if NATO halts its as-
sault. But the allies rejected calling off the air
strikes, with President Clinton saying NATO
“must remain steady and determined.” Mean-
while, air raid sirens sounded in Belgrade and at
least four other cities.

Strikes having limited success

WASHINGTON NATO‘s air assault on Yu-
goslavia is far from accomplishing its goals but
the alliance is pressing ahead with an intensified
targeting of Serb troop concentrations in Kosovo,
US. officials said yesterday. To step up NATO‘s
attacks, five Air Force B-l long-range bombers
were headed for Europe to join the B-52 bombers
already in use. The B-ls are armed with gravity
bombs and cluster munitions that are likely to be
used against staging areas of Serb military forces
in Kosovo. officials said. President Clinton said
NATO was solidly behind the strategy of dimin-
ishing Yugoslavia's military capacity.

Jury awards $81M in lawsuit

PORTLAND, Ore. -, 1n the biggest liability
verdict ever against the tobacco industry, a jury
ordered Philip Morris to pay $81 million to the
family of a man who died of lung cancer after
smoking Marlboros for four decades. The victory
by Jesse Williams‘ family was the second major
hit against Philip Morris this year. A San Fran-
cisco jury awarded $51.5 million last month to a
smoker who has inoperable lung cancer. Al-
though no smoking liability verdict against the
tobacco industry has survived on appeal, Wall
Street analysts had been watching the Portland
case closely to see if huge damage awards against
Big Tobacco were now a trend.

Economy extends program

WASHINGTON —- The healthy economy
has boosted the fortunes of Social Security and
Medicare, delaying the date when each will
run short of money, trustees for the two retire
ment programs announced.

Medicare originally had been projected to
run short of cash in 2001. Yesterday's report
moves that deadline to 2015. The Social Securi-
ty insolvency date was moved from 2029 to
2034. But President Clinton and Republicans
in Congress both said they will continue to
press for changes to strengthen the retirement
system this year.

Feds leave rates unchanged

WASHINGTON ~~ Federal Reserve policy-
makers left short-term interest rates un-
changed yesterday.

The central bank's monetary policy panel
— the Federal Open Market Committee — end-
ed a closeddoor meeting by signaling it had left
the benchmark rate on overnight loans between
banks at 4.75 percent. It’s been at that level, a
four~year low, since Nov. 17.

“Hopefully incoming fresh-

He compared SGA's lead-
ers with the freshman orienta-
tion leaders.

The freshman find out
what UK offers and are asked
their concerns by those orien-
tations, he said, but SGA never
asks every student.

In the past. Stephens said,
only a select few individuals
were asked their concerns.

“We need to get a broader
base of who we're talking to."
he said.

Stephens and Schneggen—
burger have already talked to
several student organizations.

dent Union and other religious
organizations." he said, “but
there are over 270 student or-
ganizations on campus. We
need to touch everybody."

The most important aspect
of Stephens campaign is mak-
ing SGA known and accessible.

“No one knows about
SGA. what it is, how it can
help students," he said.

Stephens wants to make
SGA more visible too.

“SGA expects students to
come to them," he said. “We
want to say here’s what SGA
can do. here‘s my number,
how can we help?"

Stephens was junior and

high school in LaGrange, and
was also an active participant
in the Future Farmers of

Patrick Justice, 3 political sci-

The debate included a
multitude of questions from
“How will you repair strained
relations between the Greeks
and administration over the
dry campus policy." to “How
will you work to have more
African-American professors
at the University?"

All three candidates spoke
candidly about their platforms
and what they planned to do if
elected SGA president.

Asked how he would get
administration moving on the
idea of a new Greek park,
Stephens said, “We need to let
them (administration) know
how involved the Greek com-
munity is on this campus.”
“We need to make our voice
heard, and let them know
what we want."

Glenn spoke up on the
idea of getting student tickets

the floor, an initiative that‘s
part of his platform.

“You look at other schools
and the students are right
down there on the floor,
screaming and yelling. We

their chance already, now it’s

In response to the ques-

would do that was unique to
get students involved in SGA,

Collins looking to
deeper side of art

It's more than just painting and sculpting
for nationally-recognized art professor

By Mark Vanderhoff
Eifrus terror:

The year was 1969. Georgia
Collins‘ husband. a professor in
the College of Education. sug-
gested she check out a women‘s
rights rally on campus.

“it was all a part of that
generation." she said. "That
protest generation.“

Fast-forward three
decades. Collins went to Wash»
ington. this weekend to accept
the 1999 National Higher Edu-
cation Art Educator of the
Year Award.

Collins said she found out
she won the award about the
same time she decided to retire.

The special ending to her
career came with a price.
though.

“I have to ‘pay‘ for the
award next year by giving a
speech." she joked.

The award follows a series
of distinctions for Collins. a
Professor Emeritus of Art Edu-
cation who retired in Febru‘
ary. She has also won the Na-
tional Art Education Associa—

tion‘s Women‘s Caucus June
King McFee Award and the
Kentucky Art Association‘s
Kentucky Art Educator of the
Year Award.

These awards reflect a de-
votion to art education. partic—
ularly the issue of equality
therein.

After the women‘s rights
rally. Collins signed up for
some free courses in women‘s
liberation.

“My consciousness was
expanded." she said. "I wanted
to go back to school and get a
job. It was a spur to get back
into art.”

Collins got her master's
degree at UK so she could
teach, then got her doctorate
at Ohio State University.

All the while. she was rais—
ing a family.

“I was commuting." she
said. “1 had a room up there so
that Monday through Friday I
could do coursework. On
weekends I came home to be
with the family. l'd cook dish-
es for the family to put in the

freezer for the week."

While working on her doc-
torate. Collins said she began
researching equality in art.
There was one obstacle 7* lit-
tle had been written on the
subject.

“That raised all kinds of
questions.“ she said. “What‘s
the value of art for women
and minorities? What role
does art play in gentler and
equity issues?“

One major art education
problem Collins has uncov-
ered is the stereotype of art as
having feminine qualities. es-
pecially when art is perceived
only as a nurturing pursuit.
There's more to art. she said.

“We need to teach history.
criticism and aesthetics as
well as the hands-on part."

Collins sees a concerted ef-
fort on behalf of the College of
Fine Arts to introduce diversity
and depth to the program. de-
spite what she considers an in-
adequate budget.

“We have a high percent-
age of women and minorities."
she said. “And we've not been
pushed by affirmative action,
but gone out of our way to hire
African-Americans. Latinos
and female professors.“

Nude games plan sent

Committee recommends putting strict
standards in place to enforce prohibition

By Rich Tucker
DAILY PRINCETONIAN

PRINCETON, N.J. _ The
Committee on the Nude
Olympics submitted recom-
mendations to President
Shapiro Monday afternoon
that include plans for appre-
hending runners and for creat-
ing an “extraordinary" disci-
plinary process to enforce the
event's prohibition. according
to a draft of the report.

“The Committee on the
Nude Olympics recommends
to the President and the Board
of Trustees adoption of a policy
banning the nude Olympics.“
says the version of the report
that circulated among commit-
tee members for final approval
late last week.

The draft calls for a one-
year suspension from the Uni-
versity for “any activity that is
deemed an attempt to perpetu-
ate the nude Olympics" or “be
havior that in the past had
been associated with the nude
olympics."

M“. ‘.n« w

Dean of Student Life Jani-
na Montero said the commit-
tee attempted to make descrip-
tions of the ban flexible to end
the olympics. no matter what
form the event may take.

“1 would say that the com-
mittee wrestled with that for
some time.“ Montero said.
“We are not going to be able to
predict. in any way that makes
sense. what (the Nude
Olympics) might look like in
the future without seeing it.
We would have to see what
happens "

According to the commit.
tee‘s proposal. Montero will re-
view cases of alleged participa-
tion in future instances of the
Nude Olympics.

Accused students will then
have the opportunity to exam»
ine the evidence against them.
make an opening statement. be
accompanied by an adviser
and provide letters from char-
acter witnesses. the report
says.

Appeals will be evaluated
by a special subcommittee in-
cluding a student. a faculty

member and an administrator
who are current or former
members of the Committee on
Discipline.

But the only grounds for
appeal will be complaints of
“procedural unfairness or per-
sonal bias," the draft says.

The draft describes the
plan as “an extraordinary
disciplinary and appeals
process that could handle an
unusually high number of
cases in a short time, with-
out paralyzing the discipline
system."

Montero said yesterday
the proposed disciplinary
process for the Nude Olympics
has a “different flavor" from
the University‘s standard dis-
ciplinary system.

“When we discussed this
disciplinary process, it was
with the intent of being a de-
terrent.“ she said.

The report also includes
specific plans for how Public
Safety will prevent the Nude
Olympics in the future. “Pre-
assigned teams of four would
have specialized training. in-
cluding apprehension of some-
one who is naked, as well as
treatment for intoxication. in-
juries. hypothermia. etc." the
draft says.

molesting young children dat-
ing from 1991 to the present.

Joey Dean Herndon. 30. is
being held in the Madison
County Detention Center in
lieu of $100.000 bond. lie is
charged with five counts of
first-degree sexual abuse in»
volving five youngsters.

Herndon pleaded innocent
at his arraignment Monday. A
preliminary hearing was set for
April 14.

The day-care center. oper-
ated by the Lighthouse Wor-
ship Center, a Pentecostal
Church. was shut down by the
state last Friday after Hern-
don's arrest.

Complaints from parents
led to the investigation. said
Detective Ellen Alexander of
the Richmond Police Depart-
ment.

Herndon is accused of
fondling and inappropriately
touching five boys and girls be
tween the ages of 14 months
and 5 years old.

Alexander said she expects
police may learn of more vic-
tims as the investigation con-
tinues.

The Rev. Anthony Portiss
of the Lighthouse Worship Cen-
ter refused to comment on the
arrest of Herndon.

The state Inspector Gener-
al’s Office closed the center.
working in conjunction with
the Cabinet for Families and
Children, after the department
concluded that sexual abuse
had occurred there.

The cabinet is routinely no-
tified when a criminal investi‘
gation involves children.

The daycare center was
shut down because it was deter-
mined that the children were in
imminent danger. said Gil Law~
son. spokesman for the Cabinet
for Health Services. which han-
dles licensing and regulation of
day-care centers.

Records going back three
years show there had been no
major complaints filed against
the day-care center. The cen-
ter has 15 days to appeal the
closing.

Workers from Cabinet for
Families and Children were
sent to the center Friday to
take care of the children until
their parents arrived, accord-
ing to Cary Willis. a cabinet
spokesman.

A total of 27 children were
enrolled at the center. but only
14 were there Friday.

One mother, Carolyn Jen-
nings, said she and some other
parents are considering a law-
suit against the church. Jen.
nings‘ two daughters. ages 5
and 7. had been cared for at the
center.

Jennings said she took her
daughters out of the center last
week after hearing about the
investigation.

She said she does not think
either of her daughters were
sexually abused.

“You think there couldn't
be any safer place to leave
your children than at a
church. This is just horrible."
Jennings said.
