But, for now, they can only see the beginning of the process UAB's Greek membership is only at 6 percent.

Marsch said that the two fraternities stillhave to agree on a lease, draw up plans, hire a contractor and come up with the financing. Allthis has to be in order by April1, when they willhave to sign a letter ofintent.

The UABEpilepsy Center is investi-gating more of these new medications than any other facility in the nation, according to neurologist Dr. Edward Faught, director of the center. "In August the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approved the firstnew anti-seizure medication ui15 years," he said "This medication.

Most of the funds are allocated to USGA departments that provide pro-grams including travel grants, an AIDS-awareness seminar and the recent "Mysteries onCampus." Officers and committee chairs, given scholarships because of required office hours and appearances, receive funds from the USGA budget. Operating expenses for postage, telephone use and work-study salaries are also required for budget allotment. Finance hearings address specific aspects of the proposed programs such as educational value and availability to all students. At least two members of applying organizations will be required this quarter to attend the finance hearing. USGA committees are also required to submit applications in this process. After funding is granted, the bud-get, known as the budget bill,is pro-posed by England and USGA treasurer Chris Arnold to the legislature. Upon approval, USGA president Bruce Taylor then gives his approval or requested revisions. The budget then goes to AndyMarsch, associate dean of student life. Upon his approval, England can then contact organizations with an officialletter of approval. Since the USGA has no checkbook, this process works as reimbursement. Immediately after the program has See MONEY,page 2 USGA outraged by Kaleidoscope columnist Greek hous ing By Kim Grissom Staff Writer Legislators expressed outrage concern-ing last week's Kaleidoscope editorial by former legislator Shai Hoffman. Brandon White set the tone at the Feb. 11 meeting, "Contrary to other beliefs, yearbook plans are still alive," White announced, amid loud applause. "Plans are still going on and I'm still looking for interested parties for future plans," White said. Henry Lovoy then stated, "Everything we've been doing all year hasn't failed. We are still working on the yearbook and Iam still investigating Coke prices -that hasn't ended either. It is ridiculous what was printed about the USGA." A challenge for Hoffman came from Rodney George. "Iwould like to contact him and ask him to attend (next) Friday's meeting and have him give his reasoning for his article to our faces," George said. "He needs to face the USGA likea man and give his grounds why he maliciously attacked us. He can say his opinions to the USGA instead of giving biased opinions about the USGA,"he said. Lovoy finished the discussion by stat-ing, "The only way someone has failed is if they quit." President Bruce Taylor appointed Toni Barnett as election commissioner follow-ingBrian Terrance's resignation. She was approved by the executive committee and the legislature. Election preparations are still under-way. Thirty students have picked up intent-to-run fopns from the USGA office. coming soon taken place, each organization submits receipts and copies of advertising to the Finance Committee. Organizations are required to list USGA as co-sponsor on all advertising and programs. Chris Arnold then types a requisi-tion ifall receipts and requests a match that goes to sponsor Bettina Byrd- Giles. From there, the requisition goes to an officialUAB accountant, then to Andy Marsch, on to Dr. Lamar, dean of student affairs and finally to Dr. Virginia Gauld, vice president for stu-dent affairs. After approval, a messenger sends the requisition to the Administration Building for accounting approval. The check is then cut directly tothe organi-zation, taking usually 1-3 weeks.

"Any organization that restricts its membership in any way willnot be recognized by the USGA," Fngland said. She explained that organizations' constitutions are examined primarily for this reason. Groups such as Greeks, honoraries and groups that close membership to a certain sex, race, religion, major or nationality willnot be recognized Recognized groups that need funds for their own programs can submit applications to the USGA for hearing Student groups bei ice fees I RECEIVED I mom prior- nnn \ PEflWil K ',« 1 A Tuesday.

Both sites meet at the corner of Ninth Avenue South and 16th Street South. McLeod thinks having Greek housing on campus willmake it more like a traditional college.

"There are about 40,000 'opilepsy patients inAlabama." Epilepsy i*lachronic disorder in which seizures are caused by excessive neuronal discharge of electrical activity, according to Kuzniecky. "Epilepsy may be caused by genetics, toxins, brain injury, tumors or infection," he said. The disorder can strike any-one at any time, but there is a higher incidence among children and the elderly, according to Kuzniecky. The UAB Epilepsy Center is currently testing five other potential new drugs through contacts with the National Institutes ofHealth, the Veterans Administration Research Service and other pharmaceutical com-panies. These trials involve between 100 and 200 patients. Funding for the trials is more than $500,000 per year. DRUG from age 1 HOUSING medication," he said. UAB is ranked in the top five centers performing epilepsy surgery in the United States, in terms of the number of surgeries performed each year.

Both medications have fewer side effects than previous ones and are effective in treating patients with general seizures and those with partial seizure*. General seizures affect the whole brain, whereas partial seizures start in a particular area of the brain and spread, accord-ing to Kuzniecky.

The price of a college education, after all, includes more than tuition, books and fees. But does itinclude dental and auto repairs? Ifyou have driven your car over the bumps, pot-holes and cracks that are called streets on this cam-pus, itmay. Howmany of us have had our fillings jarred loose or heard a mysterious rattle coming from our car engines after a few days of driving through UAB? It's easy to joke about, but the poor condition of the streets on this campus is no laughing matter. Some look more likelogging trails than pathways to knowledge. The worst is 16th Avenue South next to Rast Hall. Almost as bad is Ninth Avenue South between Camp Halland University Hall. But the most embarrassing eyesore (not to mention hazard) is the hole that keeps coming back at the intersection ofNinth Avenue South and 15th Street. The hole has been filledon at least three -occasions (for some reason, the task takes three weeks and a dozen or so of those annoying, flashing barricades to complete). Each time, the hole reappears after the firstheavy rain. It was repaired again last week, but how long willthat last?

UAB plays host to DePaul this Saturday at 3 p.m. inUABArena. The Blue Demons, traditionally a national power, have struggled this season with injuries and a tough schedule. But DePaul has participat-ed in four straight NCAA tournaments and won the first twoGMC Championships. Lady Blazers stillund up dunk gave the Tigers a four-point cushion inthe finalminute. Robert Shannon scored 20 to lead the Blazers, but he got little help. Carter Long, UAB's sec-ond- leading scorer, sank just 2- of-11 shots and finished with eight points. UAB sank 22 field goals to MSU's 20, but the Tigers attempted 23 foul shots and made 16. UABdidn't attempt a foulshot until almost 13 minutes had elapsed in the game, and for the night sank 6-of-10. With the loss, it appeared UAB's chance of winning the GMC regular season title was slim.But the Blazers were grant-ed a reprieve Sunday, thanks to Cincinnati and Dayton. Cincinnati upset Marquette 89-82 in double-overtime at Milwaukee, dropping the Warriors to 7-2 in the league. Sunday night, Dayton got its first-ever GMC winas the Flyers stunned St. Louis in overtime. The Billikens dropped to 5-2 in the league and 19-2 overall.

The result was a 58-53 loss for UAB. Itcame 27 days after UAB had blistered the Tigers by 28 points in UAB Arena. The loss dropped UAB from 17th to 20th in Sunday's CNN/ US/4 Today rankings. The Blazers (18-4, 6-3) shot only 39percent, including a 3-of- 15 effort from the three-point line. The Tigers outrebounded UAB47-31 and grabbed 18 offen-sive rebounds.

Some think the firstdomino fell last Friday, when CBS-TV and the Southeastern Conference announced a five-year television contract report-edly worth $85 million.Many believe the deal sets the stage for the next bigwave of confer-ence shifts. IfUABwants to be part of the changes, to be a major play-er incollege athletics in the next century, it needs to get serious about its footballprogram. It needs to play DivisionI-A foot-ball within the next five years, maybe sooner. Big-time footballcould mean the difference between becom-ing a member a league such as the Atlantic Coast Conference or swimming with the minnows of the football world. UABin the ACC?

However, where UAB fits into the realignment picture depends upon how committed the university administration, student body and alumni are to seeing Division I-A football played at this university. Raise the funds The financial support must improve.Not that members of Team UAB, the booster group, haven't been generous; they have. Infact, Team UABraised almost allof the team's $300,000 budget in 1993.

UABshould get serious about football recruit By Tim Stephens Sports Editor Moody High School football roach Wes Simpson couldn't believe what Ed Harris was tellinghim. An assistant football coach from Perm State University was on the phone, and he wanted to talk to Harris about playing foot-ball for the NittanyLions. It was the assistant's third call to Harris, a wide receiver who last fall was ranked as the 13th-best player in the South by SuperPrep magazine. Ed didn't even want to talk to him," Simpson recalled. "He wasn't interested in Perm State or anybody else, really.Ithink he had made up his mind that he wanted to stay close to home."

But like the previous nine meetings, the Blazers did not finish off the Tide. Saturday at Tuscaloosa, the 13th-ranked Blazers lost 4-3 to 1-lth-ranked Alabama. Last season, UAB lost 4-3 to Alabama in the regular season and 5-4 to the Tide in the sec-ond round of the NCAA tour-nament. This one went to the final point of the final set of the finalmatch. With the match tied 3-3, UAB's Eric Bengts wa9 defeat-ed by UA's Marco Vannotti 3- 6,6-3,7-6 (7-4) to give the Tide the victory. Tennis team falls to Tide February 15, 1994 Kalddoacope ing drive. UAB's administration should quit plaving around withfoot-balland start playing it with the bigbays Itshould develop and show a clear plan for the pro-gram. The new administration needs to show the same courage and vision that the previous administration showed by start-ing the program in1991. The current policy of no uni-versity money for the football program is idealistic and per-haps every university should adopt the philosophy. But, unfortunately, few universities share that view.Most, but not all, football-playing schools use state and school fundsjojwlp pay for athletics. " ,~Thp policy is an appeasement to those who foughfthe estab-lishment of football here. UAB shouldn't have to play politics to play football. They don't at UCLA,Pittsburgh, Louisville or any of the other great urban universities. But it could be overcome easily ifAthletics Director Gene Bartow would spend less time playing golfin Palm Springs and more time drumming up support for the football team. Where are trustees? And where are the trustees in allof this? They should be out front leading the charge, ifthey are UABtrustees. Where, exact-ly, do trustees such as Frank Brombergjr. and Cloophus Thomas Jr. stand onUABfoot-ball? Do they support it? Oppose it? Are they opposed to Division I-Afootball on this campus? Have they ever been to aUAB game? Then again,UABstudents haven't been liningup en masse at Legion Field. UABstudents must show they want big-time footballhere by going to the games. UABneeds toaverage more than 17,000 forhome games inorder to move to DivisionI-A.Ifyou want to see the Blazers play the likes of Nebraska or Notre Dame at LegionField in the future, then you need tosee them play the likes of Jacksonville State and Butler this year. The same goes forUAB's alumni, who should start acting likeUAB alumni. They should quit supporting the football teams of other schools and instead reach into their wallets and support their own. However, unlike some Alabama and Auburn supporters, they should make checks payable to the university instead of the players. Ifthe University of South Florida can raise $5 millionfor a team that doesn't yet exist, then UABalumni can find a couple of milliondollars to support an established program. UAB's footballprogram has grown tremendously in three seasons against long odds and withoutmuch support. The story, so far, is truly amazing and greatly underappreciated. But how willthat story end?

To "vis" is to use and find a metaphor that expresses one's feelings about the production, about tragedy, tribalism, human segregation and p—rejudice ." Karma Ibsen "'Othello' is stating a different form of what the play is. She shared her "vis"with her production team to get everyone on track and focused. Ibsen approaches any play as a new play, creatively. Her "vis"is not known ahead of time, but she can be influ-enced by anything froman expe-rience to a painting. For "Othello, Ibsen was influenced intensely by a paint-ing called "Monuments of Easter Island." The set for her UAB production has a noticable Polynesian influence, with 20- foot Easter Island-like statues. Ibsen encountered other influences while traveling abroad. She experienced preju-dices in Poland against Gypsies. on human flaws when manipu-lated by an ego or ethno-center force," Ibsen said. This statement guided her and allowed everything to fallin place for thisproduction. In her training at the University of Illinois, Ibsen 'Othello' production more she has brought to the play. Ibsen said that she used two tools. First, she paraphrased the theme of the play in one sen-tence. After reading over the play itself many times, she made the decision.

Sigma Gamma Rho, after per- I irming a nearly flawless step routine, broke out with the blue and gold canes and turned the Arena out, bringing nearly everyone to their feet. Whenever a group uses canes, the possibility of drop-ping them is a scary one. However, Sigma Gamma Rho lived up to the challenge and didnot even look like they were going to drop their canes, unlike a previous group who dropped their canes numerous times.
