Feeling the blues on the day of red
Valentine's Day lonely for those without love
By Elena Macaluso
Special to the Kansan
Contrary to what the folks at Hallmark might want you to believe, not everyone has a Valentine.
For some KU students without Valentines,
Feb. 14 will be just like any other Friday.
"It's just another day to me," said Roger Wallace, Grantville senior.
For students with no steady paramour, plans for Valentine's Day are not a high priority.
"If something comes up, I'll do something, but I have other things to worry about now," said Brendan Allen. Phoenix freshman.
For Andreana Albott, Topeka sophomore,
not having a Valentine is not a major concern.
In fact, she already has made plans for the
weekend.
"(I'm) going out of town to visit friends," Albott said.
Despite the positive attitude of many KU Students, Jim Kreider, counselor at KU Counseling and Psychological Services, said Valentine's Day could be a difficult time for many
people who are without a significant other.
"Our culture puts a lot of pressure on folks to be counled." Kreider said.
He said common feelings experienced by those without Valentines were sadness, irritability, a vague sense of longing and low self-esteem.
"Treat yourself like your own Valentine," Kreider said.
Doing something for yourself is one of the best ways to alleviate Valentine's Day blues, Kreider said. Make a special dinner, go to a movie or take a soak in the tub.
While roses, chocolates and red lingerie are items anyone can buy, Kreider said the most important thing to remember was that you can't buy love.
"Love is something you can't force ... especially if you want a quality relationship," Kreider said. "You can't just go to Wal-mart and buy them on blue-light special."
He said it was normal for someone without a Valentine to feel a little depressed during the days surrounding Valentine's Day.
But most of the time the feelings dissipate after a few days, he said.
However, if the feelings are unresolved after a few days, or if very low self-esteem results, the KU Counseling and Psychological Services are available and willing to help.
FDA power at issue in suit
Ad rules endanger rights, lawyers say
The Associated Press
New FDA rules, set to begin taking effect Feb. 28, would restrict advertising to cut smoking by teen-agers.
GREENSBORO, N.C. Congress never has given the Food and Drug Administration jurisdiction over tobacco, an R.J. Reynolds lawyer argued yesterday as the industry tried to block regulation of cigarettes as a drug.
The major tobacco companies consider the rules a threat to the First Amendment and claimed the FDA lacked authority to regulate sales and advertising.
"Before us today is an extraordinary exertion of power by a federal agency," said RJR lawyer Richard Cooper, at a hearing before U.S. District Judge William Osteen. "The FDA wants to exert its jurisdiction over the entire tobacco industry."
Cooper said the cigarette makers thought the FDA wanted to ban the industry.
Justice Department lawyers were to argue their
case yesterday before Osteen, who was a tobacco industry lobbyist two decades ago.
"This case is too serious for both sides to give it any less consideration," he told lawyers.
Osteen said it would take him five to 10 weeks to rule on the lawsuit.
The judge was asked to decide without a trial that the FDA lacked legal authority to regulate cigarettes. The industry also could seek an injunction to block the regulations from going into effect until a trial of its lawsuit was completed.
Pharmacy school changes degree, adds extra fees
By Gerry Doyle Special to the Kansan
Special to the Kansan
This year, for the first time, pharmacy students at the University of Kansas will have to get a doctoral degree in pharmacy instead of a bachelor of science degree.
Previously, pharmacy students could choose between a B.S. and a Pharm. D. Students new to the program will have to complete an additional year to earn the Pharm. D.
A Pharm. D. is a doctor of pharmacy degree, which is a six-year program. The B.S. program was five years.
Students accepted to the School of Pharmacy in Fall 1996 and after will have to fulfill the new requirements. Students who were accepted before Fall 1996 may choose to complete a Pharm.D.
Many pharmacy students originally opposed the switch because it was accompanied by an $85 per credit hour fee beginning last fall.
However, after the fee was explained and the competition of other pharmacy schools was noted, the change in degree programs became more welcome.
"In the past, the fee was just for your last year, so people were concerned with the fee originally," said Lynn Fisher. Ellis senior. Dean of pharmacy Jack Fincham said the change was a response to a national trend in which about two-thirds of the pharmacy schools in the country have switched from a B.S. to a Pharm.D.
"There are good possibilities for jobs regardless of whether a student has a B.S. or a Pharm. D., Fincham said. "But our students need to be able to compete with other individuals from other schools with Pharm. D.'s."
Although demand for people with each degree is similar, some jobs demand the additional year of education and experience, said Gene Hotchkiss, assistant to the dean of pharmacy.
Enrollment in the School of Pharmacy has remained constant in degree programs since the $85 fee was added. The school continues to accept one of every four applicants, said Jeremy Matchett, associate dean of pharmacy.
The pharmacy fee also assists students. Because of the additional year needed to graduate from the Pharm. D. program, additional faculty and equipment are needed. The fee helps cover these costs, but not research. Fincham said.
"We're strictly interested in getting the students the skills they need," he said.
