Groups
uttering
’ tax help

By Misty Gentry

Getting ready to file with the
Internal Revenue Service can be a
taxing experience, and two UK
groups are pulling together to
help students make it through.

The Student Government
Association and the College of
Law are offering free income tax
services for students.

“It is a good idea because it will

“It is a good community service
activity and is valuable to those
law students who participate," he
said.

The tax service had been done
in the past, but it just started up
again last year. SGA reserves the
rooms in the Student Center. The
services begin Feb. 13 and will run
through April 10. SGA Associate
Director Melanie Cruz said that
the number of students using the
service will greatly depend in how
busy the tax season is.

Last year the Volunteer
Income Tax ASSistants completed
about 100 returns. Statewide, the
organization helped complete
about 50,000 fonns last year.

Skeans said that someone may
be able to assist international stu-
dents, but that it is still uncertain
since the person will have to be
specially trained.

“I think the tax service is a
good idea because a lot of people
don’t know how to do their taxes,"
said Shonda Canada, a sophomore
accounting student. “A lot of peo-
ple are far away frotn home and
they may not be able to get home
to get their taxes done."

liffects of Kentucky health care reform
passed by the legislature in July are
bLginnimr to be felt by many

\ panel of advocates of tho. new system
held a forum last night at the ( .atholiL
.\ewman (.enter 1m campus to inform
the public about details of the plan.

“Until it affects you, people have not
paid attention to the reform plans," said
Sister Michael Leo of Kentucky's Health
Policy Board.

State Representative Ernesto Scorsone
of Lexington said that insurance plans
under the new reform are the most mar«
ket—oriented forms of coverage the state
could have adopted.

“This is not a government takeover of
health care,“ Scorsone said.

Under Kentucky's health care reform
law, standardized benefit ilans have been
set upon various deductib’le levels.

The panel‘s insurance agent James
johns said consumers pick the plan that
best stiits their needs and then shop with
companies to see who will give the best
rates and service on that plan.

johns said with the different options,
more than 400 plans are possible

“This puts the power in the hands of
the consumer, not the agent, ”Johns said.

V

Scorsone said there is tremendous
pressure on the system now from the
insurance companies to either change oi
eliminate it.

The panel held the forum to combat
negative publicity of the plan coming
from members of the public and some
insurance agents because insurance rates
for the new plans are higher than con--
sumer's previous rates.

“Rates have shot tip for many and
that's the bottom line for people," Scor-
sone said.

Insurance companies have set prices
high so it is hard to have competition.
Leo said.

“The rates have increased because the
plans have guarantee issue," she said.

Leo said the insurance companies have
set high rates because they can not deny
coverage to anyone. They thought that
those with a lot of health problems would
cost the entire system more, and so they
increased rates.

She said it is too early to judge the suc-
cess of the health care reform because it
has not been given a chance to work yet.

lohns said the rates are beginning to
come down because insurance Lompanies
are realizing they overshot their losses.

Dr Terry Brown, a Frankfort physical
therapist, attended the forum to find out
how the changes would affect him

ef— titled album enter your mind
and absorb a new sound.

The band is led by Ryan Dahle,
whose fiery lyrics and vocals bring
a sense of disturbing truth to the
songs. Dahle also adds a unique
flavor to the band as he plays the
organ, guitar and bass. Kurt Dahle
focuses most of his energy on the
drums, but adds his vocal fervor to
a few songs as Ian Somers delivers
a bass sound that is a combination
of simplistic pain and splendid
melody.

All 13 songs on the CD range
from confused states of wonder to
pain—filled emotions ofdiscontent.

 

“Vicious" starts the disc off with
an outlook of despair. “Lash

The group s latest release,
Lucky Day, reveals more of the
band's uplifting “Mountain Rock"
which, guitarist and vocalist John
Felty said, is a direct result of a
childhood he and Matt Mayes
(vocals, guijo, banjo, guitars) spent
in the Appalachian Mountains.

“Matt and 1 had a teacher who
was into mountain crafts and
music and she had this guy come
in and play dulcimer, and fiddle
and mandolin, so we were around
this type of music all of the time
and at a very early age," Felty said
in a phone interview.

Jupiter Coyote, which also
includes Gene Bass on drums,
Sanders Brightwell on bass and
David Stevens on percussion, is

of Southern Rock.

Influences include the likes of

WHAT'Syaur 51° g0?

By John Abbott
Stall ll ‘I‘Iti'l'

Aries (March 21-April W) Tell people
that you are really a skateboard which has
taken human form. They will think that you
are an eccentric, but otherwise harmless,
individual, which will provide the perfect
cover when you begin your streak of serial
killings. I mean, who'd ever suspect you?

Taurus (April 20—May 20) You have
Venus rising in your second house, which
means um which er . OK, OK]
don't have the slightest idea what I’m talk—
ing about. I'm making this stuff up.

Gemini (May ll-June 20) \Vhen you
get your next phone bill, you will notice
that, by some amazingly lucky break, the
phone company failed to charge you for
those dozens of hours you spent calling
phone sex numbers. You just saved a couple
hundred dollars.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) The only way
you’ll find love this week is if you’re playing
Scrabble and pick the right tiles.

Leo (July 25-Aug. 22) You will suffer a
case of writer's block so intense that it will
be nearly impossible just to write down
your own dime, much less compose a term
paper.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Your beloved
dumps you, but not face-to—face, not by
phone, not even by a long, eloquent letter.

By postcard.
Libra (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22) On a test, you

make a really stupid mistake which throws
off all your answers. Then you make anoth—
er incredibly stupid mistake which puts
them all right again. Congratulations —
you have blundered your way to victory.

Scorpio (Oct. 23‘Nov. 21) You tell a
friend of yours that all stop signs with white
borders are optional, and he believes you.
Some friend you are. The least you can do
is go visit the poor guy in the hospital. Sign
his cast.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21) As a ser-
vice to the world, you find a stray dog,
infect him with a lethal vinis, and train him
to bite stupid people. The gene pool takes a
big swing upwards thanks to your selfless
efforts. Too bad for you that you were the
dog's first victim.

Capricorn (Dec.-- -Jan. 19) There is,
right under your nose, a cute person who
thinks you’re pretty cute, too, but you won’t
connect this week. In fact, you never will.

Aquarius (Jan. 20—Feb. 18) In prepara—
tion for a test, you try one of those “smart
drugs” that supposedly enhance mental per-
formance. I guess no one told you that, for
those drugs to work, you have to have a
functioning brain to start with. Nice try,
though.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Just when
you thoughty ou had broken your crippling

“Beverly Hills, 90210" addiction, you acci-
dentally come upon it while channel surf-
ing, and once again are instantly hooked.
You lose 20 [.0. points.

0mm BMEBIWN UK gymmm Sonia Merla, who grew up in Montreal, ypoke manly French before coming to

school at UK.

Gym Kat adjusting to lite in the States

By Rob Herbst
Smijrim'

Making the transition from hi h
school to college can often fie
problematic for a student.

It was no different for senior
Sonia Merla, a member of the UK
Gym Kats. But Merla had
one added disadvantage, a
language barrier.

Merla, born and raised
in Montreal, spoke little

Eliglish before coming to

“I had a real hard time
when I came at first,”
Merla said. “The slang was.
really hard to understand. l
was crying a lot at first."

A change in culture was some-
thin else Merla had to cope with.
She had to adapt to the style of life
in the United States.

“The fashion is different,"
Merla said. “I would go shopping
back home and bring tny clothes
here because I could not find what
I wanted here.”

Merla added: “I'm used to Euro—
pean food. Here, it’s burgers all the

Merla

 

time. I gained some weight my
freshman year, but now I can ,0 to
Kroger and make my own food."

Merla is now a senior and has
accustomed to the change well.

Junior Gym Kat, Kristy Toups,
was one person who helped Merla
make the transition from Montreal
to Lexington.

“I helped with under—
standing,.not really the cul—
ture, but the way we do
things here as opposed to
how thing are done in Cana-
da," Toups said.

“She would help tne
understand the words,"
Merla said. “She had a car
and showed me around. She
was the American girl teaching the
Canadian girl how to do it.”

hierla, whose mother started
her in gymnastics because she con-
stantly jumped on the mattresses in
her home, had a dream of going to
the 01an )ics.

She placed 10th at the 1992
Olympic Trials in Canada, and in
1990, she was the Canadian Gym-
nastics National Champion. Her
hero was Nadia Comaneci, gold

medalist in the 1976 Olympics.

“Nadia was the best gymnast
ever and she won in Montreal,"
Merla said. “I wanted to follow her
and go to the Olympics.”

In Canada, there are fewer
opportunities for gymnasts. Coach
Leah Little went to Montreal to
recruit her.

“I’m one of the lucky ones to
have the chance to come here,"
Merla said. “After you realize that
you can actually go to college
because of gymnastics, it becomes a
goal."

Merla's career at UK has been
plagued by injury, including a
stress fracture in her leg from her
freshman year and a fractured arm
from last season. The leg injury
still bothers Merla and prevents her
from competing in some events.

As for life after UK, Merla
would like to stay close to Lexing-
ton.

“I'm thinking about stayin in
the United States," Merla said? “I
love the mountains in Kentucky,
even though they call the people
over there hillbillies. I want to be a

hillbilly.”
