Wildcat Meal Plan offers alternatives for students

Campus Cuisine says new dining service not part of UK;
On-campus students must still purchase diner accounts

symmwug

CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Students are being misin-
formed by an outside agency‘s
food plan. said administrators
from Campus Cuisine, UK‘s
food service.

Off Campus Access, the
Virginia-based company re-

sponsible for the plan called
the Wildcat Meal Plan, said it
didn't mean to deceive and is
looking to make ties in the
community.

“l‘m not surprised by this
type of service being offered
to our students," said Direc-
tor of UK Food Services
Robin Gibbs. ‘This same type

of service has been offered to
campuses around the country
I'm just disappointed that our
students have been misled."
Gibbs said that some stu-
dents have perceived the
Wildcat Meal Plan as a part of
UK Campus Cuisine because
the name includes “Wildcat."
Campus Cuisine receives
frequent phone calls about
the dining service, which is
separate from Campus Cui-

sine, she said.

Additionally. she said the
Wildcat Meal Plan provides
incorrect information. Stu-
dents are told they can reduce
or cancel their meal plan by
calling Campus Cuisine.

Gibbs said that all UK
residence hall students are as-
sessed a mandatory. nonre-
fundable $750 diner account.
which is a part of their hous-
ing contract.

An email was sent to UK
residents by Patricia Terrell.
vice president of Student Af-
fairs, confirming that the
Wildcat Meal Plan isn’t asso
ciated with the university

She also wrote that al-
though a Plus Account cannot
be transferred to the Wildcat
Meal Plan, Plus Account
funds are refundable exclud-
ing a $5 handling fee.

OCA's Regional Director.

Mike Dolezal. said they are
working on building a rela-
tionship in the community

“We certainly don’t want
to create confusion between
students and Campus Cui-
sine." he said. “We under-
stand that students who live
on campus have minimum
dining accounts.”

Founded three years ago,
OCA has launched its pro-

UK program eases health care costs

Through Healthtrac, employees earn up to $120 a year;
they must register, visit Web sites and fill out surveys

By Elizabeth Collier
commsurmc mum

The cost of health care
offered by Kentucky employ-
ers rose about 14.7 percent
this year. according to a sur-
vey by Kansas-based Comp-
data.

UK has taken action to
help ease this strain by let-
ting employees get some
money back in a new pro-
gram called Healthtrac Re-
wards.

Participants go online
and learn about their health.
Money is rewarded to those
who participate.

“When I learned that I
could get ten extra dollars a
month to do something 1 al-
ready care about. which is
my health, I figured why not
do it.“ said Ted Walter, an

academic advisor for the
College of Arts and Sci—
ences.

There are three steps UK
employees must follow to re-
ceive money with the plan.

They must register. visit
the personal health page
once a month and fill out the
Healthtrac survey.

Checks are mailed quar-
terly. so the first one will ar-
rive near the end of October.
Up to $120 can be earned in a
year.

If faculty members are
healthier and consequently
visit the doctor less it helps
control costs. said David
Hoke. manager of UK's Well-
ness and Health Initiatives.

The return on invest-
ment from companies using
the Healthtrac plan ranges
from 4:1 to 10:1. said Kath-

leen Helsing, account man-
ager for UK Healthtrac Pro-
gram.

Money is saved by reduc-
ing the number of hospital
visits. doctor visits and sick
days, she said.

Between July 8 and Aug.
23. 2,619 people used the
Healthtrac Rewards plan.
The goal for the year is to
have 4,500 people participat-
ing.

“We need to begin to ed-
ucate people on healthcare
costs," Hoke said.

Hoke said it takes five to
10 minutes to complete the
questionnaire. which is 18 to
20 questions long.

It asks questions about
past medical needs. family
history and personal health
habits. according to a
HealthTrac brochure.

About 48 hours after the
participant completes the
survey, a health profile and a
letter signed by a doctor will

be available to the partici-
pant, the brochure said. All
health information is confi—
dential.

If the information in the
health profile shows that
help is needed in specific ar-
eas. the participant will be
asked to join a special pro-
gram or regiment to help
him or her. the brochure
said.

“I think the University
has done some good things
in the way of providing well-
ness opportunities," said
Mary Kelly, the Graduate
School Web coordinator.

Parking on some streets around UK banned
on first Wednesday or Thursday of each month

By Elizabeth Van Kersen
STAFF WRITER

Wednesday and Thursday’s lack of parking
due to the street sweep dismayed some com-
muters and business owners, while others real-
ized the need for the service.

“It has worked for some people and not for
others," said Carole Siler, administrative officer
at the Department of Public Works.

“I have received many calls from people and
from students who actually live on those streets
and are happy that their streets are being
cleaned." she said. “The residents on my street,
including students, have been reading the post-
ed signs and have been shifting their cars over
to the other side of the street.”

Those who disregard the new regulation
may receive a citation or run the risk of being
towed if they illegally park during the October
cleaning. The cleanings, which began Wednes-
day, are the first Wednesday or Thursday of the
month, depending on the street.

“I have received many calls from students
who ask where to park,” Siler said. “I know that
there is a lot of competition of where to park
around campus.”

Some motorists may have opted for an on-
cargpus space, running the risk of getting tick-
ete .

Forty-three more citations were issued this
past Wednesday, the first day of sweeping, than
on the first day on classes, said Don Thornton,
UK Parking and Transportation Services direc-
tor.

But the rise in tickets may not be due to the
sweep, he said.

“It’s impossible to determine at this time if
the street sweeping was responsible for any ad-
ditional parking violations on campus," Thorn-
ton said. “There are numerous factors that can
influence the quantity of parking citations is-
sued such as special events, availability of park-
ing control officers, construction and availabili-
ty of parking spaces."

on East High Street, was not happy with the

iniorls leach tentative dad

WASHINGTON — A tentative, fiveyear agree
ment was reached Thursday between Verizon
Communications and unions that provides
raises and job protections for 78,000 East
Coast telephone technicians and operators.
The deal comes more than a month after con-
tracts expired and the unions threatened to
strike. Members of the Communications
Workers of America and the International
Brotherhood of Electrical Workers still must
approve the agreement, which includes 27
separate local contracts. Preserved in the deal
are existing provisions that protect workers
against layoffs and prohibit transfers out of
communities without employee consent. How-
ever, workers hired afier the contract takes ef-
fect will not have those protections. The
agreement also provides for annual, struc-
tured talks on jobs and wages, Verizon said.
But the contract will remain in place if both
sides do not agree on changes.

Nude dancer may resemble

HELENA — A new mural depicting the city's
history is provoking an unintended reaction
among viewers who notice a tall woman with
short hair and glasses, dancing naked: Isn't
that the governor? No, it's not, but the buzz
over the resemblance of the bordello dancer
to Gov. Judy Martz was enough to compel her
to take a field trip with top aides Thursday.
Martz, a Republican and Montana's first
woman governor, called it a “stretch of the
imagination” to say the woman, kicking up
her heels with two other nude dancers, looks
like her. “It's definitely not her,” Kristine Vei-
th. the Seattle artist who created the work,
said in a phone interview. “I don't think I even
know what Judy Martz looks like,” Veith said,
adding that her own aunt was the model for
the dancer's face. The mural, called “The En-
trepreneurial Spirit of Helena,” depicts
prominent figures in Helena‘s history. But
what has drawn attention are three naked
women Veith calls “bordello dancers." Martz
took issue with the artist's decision to depict
the saloon dancers naked, saying she was un-
aware of nude dancing being a part of Hele-
na‘s history “There are no naked men up
there. It's just another prejudice against
women," Martz said. Veith said the nude
women reflect the brothels that were once an
important part of Helena society. Alan Nichol-
son, developer of the Great Northern Town
Center, where the mural was dedicated in
June. also defended the use of nudity. “I‘m sor~
ry the governor doesn't like it," he said. “I sug-
gest she turn her head when she goes by it."

J arrett’s dream

A cut above: Local salons' Cut-a-Thon aims
to raise $10,000 for new UK pediatric cancer clinic

315‘!”

STAFF INTER

Jarrett Mynear didn‘t
want children like him wait-
ing for their IVs at the Ken-
tucky Clinic. He felt he could
have used that time to do
other things.

This Sunday, area salons
and stylists are raising funds
so other children won‘t have
to wait.

They are hosting a Cut-
a-Thon from noon to 6 pm.
at Turfland Mall‘s The
Coloroom. All proceeds ben-
efit the Jarrett Mynear
Fund, a collection going to-
ward expanding the UK Pe-
diatric Hematology/Oncolo-
gy Clinic.

Mynear. who was 13
years old when he died last
October after his 11- ear bat-
tle with cancer, elivered
toys to patients in the UK
Children's Hos ital.

Mynear to d his mother
he wanted to raise aware-
ness of the need for a new
pediatric cancer clinic. Now,
almost one year afler his
death, the new clinic is
planned to be built beside
the Kentucky Clinic.

Area salons and hair
stylists participating in this

weekend’s event —— Hair-
dressers with Heart —— hope
to raise $10,000.

Christopher Johns, a
hair dresser at Caswell Car-
roll and event organizer, nev-

er met Mynear but was
touched by his kindness.

“My goal is to plant the
seeds so that people will
know what is going on and
why money needs to be
raised," Johns said.

Participating salons are
Wayne Michael, Caswell Car-
roll. The Coloroom. Mickey
Signature, Studio V and
Kendall's.

Call (859) 983-2499 to
schedule an appointment for
the Cut-a-Thon. Walk-ins are
welcome. A minimum $50
donation is required.

A silent auction will
also be held on Sunday. Sa-
lon and restaurant gift cer-
tificates, rounds of golf and
autographed UK items will
be up for auction.

Toys can also be
dropped at the Turfland Mall
center court Saturday from
noon to 6 pm. for Jarrett’s
Joy Cart. Toys should not
cost more than $10 so that all
the patients will receive a
gift of equal value.

“I know that Jarrett
would be so humbled and
amazed to know that people
are doing this," said Jennifer
Mynear, Jarrett’s mother.
“This is a perfect example of
how the community can get
together and make a differ-
ence if they put their minds
together."

Recording industry may offer amnesty

Those who admit to illegally sharing files and pledge
to delete them from their computer may not be sued

ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON —- The
:recording industry is expected
-to announce as early as next

week an amnesty program for
people who admit they illegal-
ly share music files across the
Internet, promising not to sue
them in exchange for their ad-
mission and pledge to delete
the songs ofi their computers.

The offer of amnesty will

not apply to the roughly 1,600
_ people who already have been
targets of copyright subpoe

nas from the Recording Indus-
try Association of America,
which has promised to file
hundreds of infringement
lawsuits across the county as
early as next week.

Sources who described
the proposal spoke on condi-
tion of anonymity. A spokes-
woman for the RIAA, Amy
Weiss, declined to comment.

The RIAA's offer would
require Internet users to com-
plete a notarized amnesty
form that includes promises
to delete any illegally down-

loaded music and not partici-
pate in illegal file-trading in
the future. In exchange, the
RIAA would agree not to file a
potentially expensive infringe
merit lawsuit.

"I‘ll be curious to see how
many opt for this," said Fred
von Lohmann, a lawyer for
the San Francisco-based Elec-
tronic Frontier Foundation,
who has criticized the RIAA's
use of copyright subpoenas.
“It will be an interesting mea-
sure of how much fear the
recording industry has man-
aged to iniect into the Ameri-
can public."

Von Lohmann cautioned

that the RIAA doesn't repre
sent all copyright owners and
therefore couldn't guarantee
an Internet user wouldn’t be
sued for infringement by oth-
ers, despite what amounts to
an admission of guilt. “It’s not
the kind of agreement that
most people's lawyers will em-
brace.‘" he said.

But the amnesty offer
could serve to soften the
RlAA's brass-knuckle image
once the earliest lawsuits are
filed, giving nervous college
students and others an oppor-
tunity to avoid similar legal
problems if they confess to on-
line copyright infringement.

gram in college towns across
the United States.

Currently, OCA has over
400,000 students as members
for its offcampus dining meal
plan, he said.

The University of Ten-
nessee, University of Illinois
and University of South Car-
olina have the equivalent of
the Wildcat Meal Plan.

Linda Moller, a University
for Illinois housing represen-
tative, said OCA’s “Greenstreet
Program" is available to stu-
dents in her area.

“Students have that op-
tion, but our residents all have
mandatory oncampus dining
accounts," she said.

Dolezal said this plan ap
peals to students who desire
an alternate meal plan.

He said they are providing
better quality food, more of a
variety and a better value for
students.

The initial start-up for
this meal service is free, and
students may deposit whatev-

er amount they choose into
the account.

Once their account has
been created it acts as debit
card. Each card is assigned a
PIN.

Money can be added to the
account at any time and any
balance transfers semester to
semester.

Students hungry for new
tastes can experience offcam-
pus dining at participating
restaurants.

Perks include “members
only" discounts and restau-
rant of the week specials.

Dolezal said that the suc-
cess rate at other universities
has been very positive.

“Students don‘t have
enough options," he said. “We
wanted to create a program
where students can eat at
restaurants. We also want to
build more of a bridge be-
tween campuses and commu-
nities.”

Some oncampus resi-
dents are aware of this new
meal plan but are sticking to
cash and oncampus dining.

“I would indirectly be us-
ing cash, so I would rather just
use cash to pay for eating out,”
said Jackie Dunsieth. an ac-

counting senior.

Undeclared sophomore
Brandi Eastridge had a differ-
ent view.

“I live off campus and
don’t manage money very
well," said Eastridge, who
takes part in the Wildcat Meal
Plan. “So for me it helps allot
for food and makes sure I ea

She also said that the plan
is easy to use.

“Whenever I need more
money added I can just go on
their Web site and make a de-
posit with my credit card,” she
said.

Campus Cuisine is work-
ing on its own version of off-
campus dining. Beginning
mid-fall, Plus Accounts can be
used at participating vendors.

Wildcat Meal Plan began
testing in Lexington this sum-
mer.

Any student with a valid
UK ID may sign up for the
Wildcat Meal Plan by apply-
ing online at wwwWildcat-
MealPlan.com, calling their
toll free phone number, 800-
345-6126, or picking up a
brochure at one of the local
participating restaurants.

street sweeping regula-
tions.
“We are not exempt and
we think it sucks,” he said.
“They block off my street
and my business for two
days out of the month, and
it affects my business. If
people can't park, then they
won’t come in to eat.”
While many of the
streets were restricted, the
effects of the sweeping are

not yet noticeable due to

many cars that parked on
the designated streets any-
way, Siler said.

“When we tried to
sweep (Wednesday), there
were a lot of cars parking
on the streets where they
were supposed to sweep and
the police were not ticket-
ing them,” Siler said.

The street sweeping has
an estimated budget of
$35,000, which comes out of
the street sweeping tax, she
said. That budget includes
buying over 770 signs, plac-
ing them and educating the
public.

Some residents won-
dered if the sweeping could

be done at a time other
than during a workday.

“I cannot understand
why they can’t do this at
night or at another time,”
Ramsey said.

Katie Thoke, a market-
ing senior, agrees that a dif-
ferent day to sweep would
be better.

“I don’t commute, but I
have some friends that do
and they were frustrated at
not being able to find places
to park,” she said. “I think
it would be better if they
swept on Sundays when stu.
dents would not be com-
muting to class.”

Siler said weekend or

night clean-ups weren't
likely.

“If we did it during the
evenings or weekends we
would have to pay our em-
ployees overtime,” she said.
“Also, people who live in
the houses on the streets
being swept would have
their cars on the streets in
the evenings and week-

ends.”

Thoke did see a reason
to sweep.

“I understand, though,
that the city wants to make
the neighborhoods and sur-
rounding areas look nice."

Four NCAA competitors
return for another season

On the hunt for SEC championship: An SEC title
is a feat that UK men's golf has yet to accomplish

By Adam Slchko
Sim unittn _

The UK men‘s golf team
is looking to pick up where
it left off last season. Consid-
ering it finished among the
best 30 teams in the nation.
that‘s not a bad place to be-
gin.

UK returns four of the
five golfers who competed at
the NCAA Championship
tournament last May. the
school's first appearance
there since 1988. But in set-
ting his sights on the nation-
al title, third-year coach Bri-
an Craig does not want his
squad to overlook their pri-
mary goal.

“Our No. 1 goal is always

.to win the SEC champi-
_ onship. because UK has nev-
; er done that.“ Craig said.
-“There are certainly some
teams that. on paper. are
more talented than we are,
but I think we have a chance
' if we can find the right mix
of guys and have some guys
rise to the challenge.“

UK features a roster
with five juniors. most no-
tably two-time All-SEC golfer
John Holmes. The juniors
are supported by six under—
classmen. including sopho-
more Matt Kohn. Both
Holmes and Kohn competed
in the NCAA Championships
and in the US. Amateur
Championship last month.
Holmes also qualified for the
US. Open Championship.
where he missed the cut by
two strokes.

“The NCAA Champi-
onships were a great experi-

demanded incredible pa-
tience and discipline in a
championship environ-
ment." Craig said.

“The most important les-
son I learned is that par is
not a bad score." junior
Brandon Waldrop said.
“You've just got to be pa-
tient."

Holmes. Kohn and Wal-
drop have all won tourna-
ments for UK.

“We‘ve got three colle-
giate winners on this team."
Holmes said. “and not many
teams can say that."

Competing is one thing.
but winning, something the
Cats have managed only
once since Craig arrived, is
another.

“To win. you’ve got to
have some guys who can fin-
ish in the top ten. and I think
we have guys who can do
that.“ Craig said.

“We‘ve got a lot of guys
returning from last year." ju-
nior Mark Blakefield said.
“and the key will be to play
well all at the same time. I
believe we can be much bet-
ter than last year."

The Cats will get their
first chance to top last sea.
son‘s achievements this Mon-
day and Tuesday at the
Cleveland Golf Kiawah Is-
land (SC .) Invitational.

The combination of ros-
ter depth. championship ex-
perience and hard work over
the summer has UK primed
for a successful campaign.
with the potential to be one
of the best UK crews ever.

"This is definitely the
best team we've had since

I‘ve been here." Holmes said.
"We worked hard over the
summer and we‘re all play-
ing better and more confi-

be looking to nationals and
we should have a great show-

“Coach has done an in-
credible job taking this team
from being ranked loo-some-
thing three years ago to be—
ing ranked in the top 30,"
Kohn said. “That‘s a huge
