Freshman life

Just the
way it is

From my own experience
and what others have
told me, the first
year at college is an
eye-opener. Things
that you have known
were true are
nothing more than
high school fantasies.
Here are just a few:

Life on your own is
great. Being the sole
person responsible
for yourself is the
best thing ever.
Actually, you get to
move out on your
own, and end the
parental cash flow.
No one cares when
you get home, except
your roommate who
is asleep three feet
from your bed, the
door, the fridge, the
closet, etc.

Your classes are only 50
minutes long,
attendance is not
always taken, and
large lecture halls
are conducive to
talking, reading the
Kernel and napping.
Actually, the short
class gives you two
hours of homework.
and if you miss class.
you will be behind
the rest of the
semester.

You can party whenever
you want. On a
campus the size of
UK, you can always
find something to do.
Actually, after the
initial puking in bed,
in the garbage can
and dorm sink,
partying every night
is not really an
option. This does not
even take into
account the first
couple of hangovers
you have. Calculus at
8 am. is not the way
to start off the day.

When in college, you
don't have to clean
your restroom
whenever the 'rents
tell you to. Actually,
the bathrooms are so
bad you wouldn’t
touch anything other
than the faucet, and
shower shoes are
more than suggested,
unless you like green
toes.

Were you a dork in high
school? Now you too
can be normal.
Actually, college can
be just like high
school. Where else
can you be judged on
what social group
you have joined, from
FCA to SAE?

Some ideas and
inspiration accredited
to Liz Solheim and
Amelia Brown.

How am I doing? Left of
Center is for the
people who read it. If
you know how it
could be improved,
let me know. I do not
care if you are a
freshman, graduate
student, professor or
janitor at UK.

fiosh cope with surroundings

By Becky Neisel

STAFF WRITER

The beginning of a new semester caus-
es a variety of feelings in different people.
Some students look forward to classes and
meeting old friends again. while some
hate the start of studying and tests once
more.

Freshmen face something else entire
ly: Homesickness anti separation anxiety
can cause serious problems.

"Most students. when they come to
college. feel a combination of nervousness
and excitement." said Dr. Di Sobel. a coun~
selor in the Testing and Counseling (‘eir
ter. “We do see students every year here at
the counseling center for being lonely and
homesick."

.loy Badiuk. a physical therapy fresh-
man. already feels a little homesick.

"I miss my friends." she said. "It was

 

W

hard leaving my parents. but my tiioin was
like ‘Go. gof'"

Becky .lordan. director of New Student
Programs. said a transitional program
sponsored by the UK Parent Association
tells parents to "let students know how imr
portant it is for them to stay here over
weekends and get adjusted."

Dr. Sobel agreed, and had some sug
gestions on how to help keep homesick
ness at bay.

“Try to get in a familiar routine. and
reach out to new people. It‘orcc yourself to
get involved. and realize that some of the
activities won‘t be that great. but some
will." he said.

Jordan said UK 101 faculty and peer
instructors are told about the typical anxiv
eties and concerns that freshmen feel. and
how to deal with them.

“We use journals as assignments. and
a usual qUestion that the teacher assigns is

how we assess how the students are doing
The professors and peer counselors can
read them and help the student.” she said.

UK is trying to help students with
loneliness by offering a series of social ac
tivities for freshmen as they were advised
and when they moved in.

"As part of Kentucky Welcome. the
welcome week program during the advis»
ing programs. there was a block dance and
an outdoor concert." Jordan said.

Badiuk attended one of the special
events. “Wc went to the Spectacular. and it
was pretty cool." she said.

Freshmen also have their own ways to
combat hoiiiesickiiess.

"l have a friend from home as a room-
mate. That helps. and I brought my pic-
tures with me." said Suzanna Bottoms. an
undeclared freshman.

liadiuk also keeps in touch with her
friends through Instant Messenger on

Greens petition for Nader

‘We came together': Volunteers collect, send 8,000 signatures to Frankfort;
party co-chair says it's unlikely anyone will challenge candidate's addition

By Amanda York
EDITOR lN CHIEF

Members of the Green Party presented 8.000 signa-
tures to Frankfort Monday morning to get Ralph Nader on

the ballot for president.

The party only needed 5.000 signatures but got 8.000 in
case there were any problems, said Chaz Martin. an Eng-
lish and history junior and state co-chair for the Green

Party.

“They are going to have to look at them and validate
them. That is why we got 3,000 extra." Martin said.

Before Nader can officially be on the ballot. the elec—
tion division in the office of the Secretary of State in
Frankfort has to verify that the petition is regular on its
face. meaning that the Green Party must include all the
extra information along with the signatures. said Patsy
Casey, staff adviser in the election division office.

Volunteers of the party collected the signatures.
"We came together quickly. and a lot of people

worked hard." Swain said.
Martin said he predicts that Nader will do well with
students and voters that are not happy with corporate

dominated parties. He is not sure. however. how Nader

will do with the Commission on Presidential Debates.
That is why the Green Party is organizing a protest
for the Vice Presidential Debate in Danville Oct. 5. Martin

said they expect Nader and his running mate. Winona

“Once we consider it good. then he will be placed on

the ballot," Casey said.

The only thing that could keep Nader from getting on
the ballot is if someone challenges the addition. Casey

said.

Martin said a challenge did not seem likely.

does not accept soft
money donations.

“As of yet, nobody has challenged, and it is not likely
that anybody will because we have so many (signatures).“

Martin said.

Other political activists don‘t expect a challenge

either.

“Why would anybody want to challenge? This is a
democracy." said Ken Swain. who is running for the 4th

District US. House of Representatives. He has been a

member of the Green Party since 1992.

Plans for action: Leaders seek unity, support from the
student body to make governing body effective

By Tracy Kershaw
NEWS EDITOR

The Student Government Association
Senate has many plans for the semester
from a new crosswalk on Keeneland Drive
to adjusting the academic calendar.

But according to one senator. the first
issue to tackle may be gaining internal
unity and support from the student body.

“We accomplish very little when the
board of trustees know we are in strife.
when less than half of the student popula-
tion votes and when we cannot come to-
gether as one voice." said Zachariah Webb.
an English sophomore and SGA senator.

Unity within SGA makes all the differ—

ence. Webb said.

“Unity is critical to accomplish any of
the many plans we may have." he said.
“Nothing significant can occur without
first establishing this unity."

Webb‘s personal goal in the senate is
to help bridge any gaps between govern
ment members.

“This year. I will patiently listen and
learn. and when certain occurances do not
make sense. I will do my best to unify the
SGA so that we may come to a decision
that does make sense." he said.

His inclination could help further the
accomplishment of two projects already in
the works a new crosswalk on

LaDuke. to be excluded from the debates. LaDuke is a Na-
tive American political land rights act.

"We feel that Ralph Nader brings up issues other can-
didates do not. like the death penalty. copofradandenvi-
ronmental abuse.” Martin said.

Nader. who first gained recognition as a consumer
rights activist with his book. “Unsafe at Any Speed,"

spoke at UK in April. He has re-

fused campaign con-

e

Ralph Nader, the Green Party's

AOL and lots of phone cards.

"I try to call someone different each
time." she said.

The reason that l'K tries so hard to
keep its freshmen from being homesick is
because they want to see them t‘tllllllllll‘
their education here. Sobel said

"The l'nivers‘ity is working on retain
ing students." l)r. Sobt-l said "Most of
them will leave after the first year."

According to Gary l.liitllc of the (itilt‘c
of Assessment and Institutional Data. ill I
percent of fi'eshiiien siayed until the
spring term of their first year from 1981
through 1998. Only 77 percent came back
their sophomore year.

Or. Sobel said the counseling center
helps students if their problems stem from
hoiiiesickiiess and loneliness,

"If that is one of the reasons. then we
can work toward fixing that problem." shi-
said.

Keeneland Drive and an adjustment to the
academic calendar that would free two
days before finals for studying.

.Iacquelynn Russell. a broadcast jour-
nalism and SGA senator. is working on the
crosswalk project. lfapproved. the project
would make a crosswalk on Keeneland
Drive. where l'K student Stanley Mc-
Gowan was killed two years ago after be
ing struck by a car. Russell has been work-
ing on the project for over a year. but this
year it could become a reality.

"It‘s taken some time. but the l'rban
(‘ounty Government is actually consider
ing it." she said.

Senate chairperson Edwin Orange. a
politca science senior. is involved with the
proposal to change the academic calendar.
The proposal would not add extra days to
the calendar. but would adjust the sched-
ule so two class days could be freed for
studying for finals. he said.

ine initiatives for school year

Orange said he hopes this proposal
and others will be part of a productive
year in the senate.

“I'm looking forward to working
with the senate this year." Orange said.
“I see many energetic individuals who
are committed to solving issues that all
students face.“

Orange said the senate also plans to
attack issues surrounding campus diver-
sity. student gathering areas. involve-
ment in student organizations and gener-
al school spirit.

Like Webb. Orange said student sup-
port for SGA is essential for these things
to be accomplished.

"We have an ambitious agenda." he
said. “and l have confidence We will
make progress if enough students get be-
hind a movement to improving this uni-
versity and the way students interact
with it."

Firefighters continue to battle out West

No new tires reported: Arson
may have been cause of one
blaze in South Dakota park

HELENA, Mont. (Al’) Beleaguered fire-
fighters in Montana enjoyed something ofa lull
in their battle against dozens of wildfires, al-
though a new blaze broke out near Yellowstone
National Park and forced the evacuation of up
to 150 homes.

There were concerns the entire town of Red
Lodge, a resort community in south-central
Montana. might have to be evacuated in the
face of the blaze. which was pushed along by
winds expected to reach 30 itiph overnight.

“We're constantly reevaluating whether
there will be a need to evacuate the town," pop-
ulation 1,875, at Forest Service official said
Sunday.

No other major flare-ups were reported
Sunday in the state, where more than 10,000
firefighters worked to combat 23 wildfires that
have consumed some 670.000 acres.

“Everything stayed about the same." said
Dan Kincaid. information officer for a fire
burning between Helena and Bozeman that has

turned more than 84,000 acres to ash.

Whether fire crews were in fact able to hold
their own Sunday may not be known for some
time, when officials get their next look at aerial
infrared photos that accurately map the fires'
boundaries at night.

“i have a feeling that we‘ll discover that
some of the fires have increased dramatically
said E.Lynn Burkett 0f the National lntera
gency Fire Center in Boise, ldaho.

“There's so many elements out there work-
ing against us w» steep canyons, winds that
make fires run.”

Elsewhere, a fire burning out of control in
South Dakota's Black Hills National Forest
might have been set. a US Forest Service ol‘l‘i
cial said Sunday night at a town meeting

“It probably is human-caused. possibly ar
son.“ said Mike Lloyd. of the [ES Forest Ser
vice. The fire has burned an estimated 02.000
acres.

New CD from locals

Pontius (‘ol‘ilot
Madagascar

Lexington band l’ontius Col’ilot just debuted their first CD
release entitled Madagascar. The songs of iiladagascar fall into
the style of several other artists presently recording. such as
The Rentals and Foo Fighters. with a hint of a punk sound from
such as Green Day on a few tracks.

Although the t l) s sound is like that of other artists on the
air today it most certaian holds a lyrical style all its own

A true highlight on the C 1)” St ( onstanc e Finds a Fr iend."
which happens to be a favorite of mine could undoubtedly be
influenced by artists sut h as Bruce Springsteen or John Hiatt
because of its human story book stVle lyrics that make us feel
like we actually know VV' ho CoPilot is talking about.

The music is tight and the beats are strong, While the guitars
sound like ev er V other band today the rhythm section is what te-
ally sets the band apart. The bass and drutns hold together some
rather odd beats at times making the music interesting.

Anyone who enjoys rock music with a slightly punkish
edge is sure to find this release true to fotin. Lead Vocalist and
guitarist Ben Phelan s voice is smooth riding almost effortless
1V alongside bassist Ed Brown and drummer Robby (‘osenza‘s
intoxicating musical stV lings.

Madagascar was indeed 21 worthwhile listen. With ariV luck
we ll hear ft om these guys again sometime soon

education to good use. He pieces together different musical styles.
ultimately formulating a distinct mixture of gritty bluesrock.

Throughout the album Bramhall changes tones and emo-
tions. Each song has its own personality. Some songs sound simi-
lar to Third Eye Blind. while others are more similar to Clapton.
