Traffic

I consider myself a fairly
adept driver, despite

TUESDAYKENTUCKY

 

my tendency toward
having a heavy loot.
No matter how alert I
am there is always
someone dumb, or at
least someone who
has decided to drive
around with their
head up their butt,
on the road around
me. These people
come in every
variety. Here are
some of the worst:

The Brakellght Bandit:
This guy is easily
identified by the
brake lights that
flash for no reason at
all. When his foot
isn't resting on the
brake pedal, it has
the brake mashed
against the floor.

The Merger: Perhaps one
of the scariest
people, she decides
to lay claim to your
lane while you are
still in it. Short blasts
on the horn and less
than subtle hand
gestures usually put
her in her place.

The Lexington Cruiser:
It's not rush hour,
it's not lunch break,
it's 2:30 in the
afternoon, and these
people are out in
droves. I say, go
home, go to work, go
take care of your
kids, it doesn't
matter. Just get off
the road and out of
my way.

The Fast and the Furious
wannabes: The guys
with the pimped-out
Chevy Cavaliers, Geo
Storms and Ford
Escorts who think
their loud exhaust
has somehow made
them kings of the
road. My Celica and i
usually have to just
stop and laugh.

The Cell Phone Psycho:
Nothing is more
important than what
they need to get at
the grocery store.
Not even stopping
when the other cars
do.

The Emergency Vehicle
Morons: Those people
who go through lights
as fire engines and
ambulances are
coming through.

Good grief. At least
look around.

The Geriatric Roadster:
These are the old
dudes with the brand
new Corvettes that
have never broken 55
mph on the
expressway. Give it
some gas. Life is
short. Enjoy the few
years when you can
actually afford the
insurance on a car
like that.

I'm starting a campaign
as of this moment to
get all the stupid
people off the road.
E-mail me if you're
with me. Drive safe.
Drive smart.

Hispanic heritage month a celebration for all

Diversity: UK professor says events
welcome everyone on campus

By Andrea Uhde
ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR

This month is a special
one for Sheila Rodriguez. a
business management ju»
nior. And she. like many
other hispanics. intend to
actively celebrate their her-

son . it's National Hispan-
ic Heritage Month. Bee
tween Sept. 15 and Oct. 15.
a period of festivities pro-
moting the immigration of
Hispanics to the United
States will occur.

National Hispanic
Month is fairly new to UK.
though it was set aside

years ago by the federal
government as a month for
recognizing the contribu-
tions of Hispanics and [mi
nos. It was not brought to
UK until a few years ago
when members of the Latin
American Studies Program
decided to involve students
with the celebration. said
Francie Chassen-Lopez. a
history professor.

“I think that it's been
really well received on
campus since we've begun

doing this." Chassen-Lopez
said.

The month of recogni
tion is not limited to His
panics. though.

“The truth is. National
Hispanic Month is 1111p()1‘~
tant to the nation as a
whole."
the Latin American Studies
Program.

Pool said most students
who come to events
planned during the month
are not even Hispanic.

said Chris Pool of

itage this month. The rea-

 

 

UK is home to a "few
hundred" Hispanics. and
they come to Lexington be-
cause they find it to be a
tolerant society. Pool said.

UK students of all cul-
tures are recognmng the
diversity in Lexington and
on campus.

"I think it's a month in
which we just really sit
back and realize being His-
panic is nothing to be
ashamed of." she said ofthe
growing population.

Upcoming events

“Tang" Is a movie about a
director creating a tango movie.
6:30 pm on Oct. 8. CB 00.

Community impacts Kentucky

A rapid increase: Hispanic population
tripled In last decade; Ky. ranked No.33

By Alonso Soto Joya

CONTRIBUTING WRITER

“Explosive" the word
Lexington Mayor Pam Miller
used to describe the growth of
the Hispanic population in the
Bluegrass area over the last 10
years.

During these 10 years. the
face of Lexington changed as
Hispanics settled in the region
and began to impact the area as
a whole.

Miller said the local govern
ment was not prepared for this
rapid increase in population.

“We didn‘t have enough
people who spoke Spanish in
our schools. social services
agencies. police department and
health department." Miller said.
“It really put a stress on our so-
cial services."

Hispanic population. as
part of the overall population in
Kentucky, has almost tripled in
the last 10 years. Growing from
21.984 in 1990 to 59.989 in 2000.
Kentucky rose to 33rd among
states with the highest popula
tion of Hispanic immigrants.

“The number of Hispanics
living in Kentucky today. ac-
cording to the (2000) census.
does not tell the real quantity of
Hispanics in the region." said
Abdon Ibarra. the immigrant
services coordinator for the
Lexington-Fayette Urban Coun‘
ty Government.

Data gathered by the Cardi-
nal Valley Center. a social ser-
vices institution established by
the Lexington government and
run by Ibarra. estimates there is
more than 80.000 Hispanics liv-
ing in Kentucky. a difference of
more than 20.000 compared to
the census. The data also sug
gests the number is increasing
by 20 percent each year.

Ibarra said he believes the
face of the Latino immigrant
coming to the state is changing

as fast as Kentucky is changing.
due to the impact the popula‘
tion has on the region.

The Hispanic immigrants
who come to Kentucky are
mostly young single males from
Mexico. who are attracted to the
region because of the demand
for agricultural jobs. Ibarra
said. Immigrants usually move
to other states when the harvest
season is over. Overall. 95 per»
cent of Hispanic immigrants are
Mexicans.

But this behavior has been
changing in recent years.

“Now the immigrant work-
ers are bringing their families
and becoming permanent resi-
dents in the state." Ibarra said.

Ibarra said this means more
female immigrants are coming
to the region. and the result is a
growth of the number of Ameri-
can children born to Hispanic
parents. Today 90 percent of
Hispanic children under 5 in
Lexington are US. citizens.

Hispanics are also moving
from the rural areas to cities
like Louisville and Lexington in
search of jobs in the service and
construction industries.

This is the case for one ille-
gal immigrant. who wished to
be known by only his first
name. Octavio. a 19-year—old
from Veracruz. Mexico. came to
Lexington a year ago and re-
turned home to bring his father
and two sisters to the United
States.

“I want to stay here. work
and learn English for the better
of my family back home." said
Octavio. who sat waiting for a
job opportunity in one of the
rooms at the Cardinal Valley
Center.

Octavio‘s father. Adrian.
said one reason for emigrating
from Mexico is a lack of jobs for
people older than 40.

"That‘s why I came here

A renowned architectural preser-

Building has great potential for re-
pair.

Charles Phillips made a number
of recommendations to an ad hoc com-
mittee charged with advising UK offi‘
cials on the reconstruction of the
building. The building caught on fire
May 15.

Among them was restoring the
original museum on the first floor. as
well as a classroom-lecture hall.

Phillips also supported construct-
ing two full entrances. one opening to
the Patterson Office Tower plaza and
the other facing South Limestone
street.

“The building should face both di-
rections out to the community and
in t0 the campus." he said.

\llll lt'l‘l Qiiiul

lleii Folds Fiye played the music your best friend would bring
oier after ion had been dumped. Spouting smart-ass. sometimes
mum l\rics1sn‘t necessarily diflereiit iii the era ofteeii angst and
:iltei‘ii.iti\e rock. but doing it using a piano as the main iiistru»
iiieiit .sets lien Folds Five apart. Through the seven years the band
spent together-they released three albums and an album of‘llsides.

Made up of lien Folds. Darren .lessee and Robert Sledge. Ben
Folds Five professed to offer the best sound quality possible. They
achieved this by placing microphones in the vicinity of their in-
s'truiiients and also reminding people they had three band mem-
lii'l‘s.

After recording albums with songs about wooing girls who
look like Axl Rose. taking a girlfriend in for an abortion and de»
mandiiig money back from an ex-girlfriend. the hand went their
separate ways in March.

Over the summer. Ben Folds hit the studio. this time with pro-
ducer Ben (‘irosse (known for producing Fuel and Filter). Folds de»
eided to play the entire album by himself.

The album gets away from Ben Folds Five's sad cynicism of
their last album. The I'naulhorized Biography of Reinhold Mess-
ner. but still has the spectacular piano that is reminiscent of the
former band

The album is set up almost as 12 separate character sketch ‘.
From the first track. "Annie Waits." to the last track. “The L1 . i-
est." the album is driven to the characters and their stories. We
get to know the separate characters in the different songs and feel
their joy and pain.

Another higl ight oftlie album is a growing up anthem called
"Still Fighting It." The Luckiest" is a loving tribute to Folds' wife

very absent of all rancor. but nice. The typical spite returns in
the upbeat title track.

Throughout the entire album there is a bittersweet sadness
with the vocal and technological expertise. It's wonderful and you
love it. and then you realize that Ben Folds cannot possibly har-
monize with himself live like he does on the CD.

The album is lyrically powerful and technically brilliant. It
speaks a lot for the future career of Ben Folds as a solo artist. It is
an album you will find yourself not skipping through because
you‘re enjoying each track too much.

What do you get when
you combine vocal elements

With a little time and some
