Asks trustees to veto Todd's plan

By Dariush Shafa
THE KENTUCKY KERNEL

A petition asking the Board of Trustees not
to pass a proposed twotiered salary pool raise
for faculty and staff is circulating among some
UK staff members, and it’s seeing some success.

The current proposal would give faculty a
salary pool raise of 5.5 percent and staff mem-
bers a salary pool raise of 3 percent — which
sends a distinct message, said Samantha Gange,
a staff member in the College of Law.

“The twotier system conveys a message that
we are second class-citizens,” said Gange, one of
the chief organizers of the petition. “We’re not

looked at and we’re not considered a part of the
university”

The petition —— which so far has garnered
more than 2,000 signatures from both faculty and
staff who oppose the differential pay raise pro
posal —— will go before the Board of Trustees in
June, and Gange said she hopes it carries a firm
message.

“The staff strongly oppose this," she said. “It
might not change their minds, but at the very
least it‘s going to be an eyeopener.”

But the petition has been met with fear by
some staff members, Gange said.

“I came across a lot of people who were very
scared to sign it," she said. “They’re afraid if
they sign it, they’ll lose their jobs."

UK President Lee Todd told the staff at a fo

rum about the pay proposal last week that he’s
opposed to any actions that would deter the staff
from voicing their opinions.

“I fully admit that there are tough issues in
terms of staff compensation that need to be ex-
amined and, I hope, addressed over time," he
said. “We are committed to doing that because I
deeply value the contributions that both faculty
and staff make to this institution.”

According to Ann Livingstone, a representa-
tive on the Staff Senate, that doesn’t allay the
concerns of some staffers.

“There certainly is a climate of fear and it’s
something that has to be addressed.” she said.

“This is a university. We’re supposed to be
able to speak our minds and say what we think.”

MICHIGAN STATE 67, UK 63

 

SPRSATANSTTFLE
CATS' TOURNEY RUN

By Chris Delotell
THE KENTUCKY KERNEL

ROSEMONT. Ill. _
All season long, UK has
found someone to hit a
big shot, grab a key re—
bound or pick away an
important steal. All sea-
son long. the Cats have
found a way to win close
games. All season long.
UK has pulled out im-
probable victories.

But not last night.
The fifth-seeded Cats ran
out of steam. out of
points and out of time in
a 6753 loss to No.4-seed
Michigan State in the
second round of the
NCAA Tournament.

And now, their season
is over.

Aside from a despera-
tion 3-pointer by Carly
Ormerod with four sec-
onds to play the Cats were
shut out for the final 5:30
of the game and saw their
magical season come to a
disappointing end.

“I kept thinking
somebody was going to

knock a shot down or get
a board," UK coach Mick-
ie DeMoss said. “But we
were playing a team that
went to the national
championship game last
year.

“We just could not get
any good looks." she said.
“It was frustrating for us
as coaches. and I’m sure
for the players."

UK had seven consec-
utive possessions in the
closing minutes that re-
sulted in either missed
shots or turnovers, in-
cluding a controversial
charging call against
Sarah Elliott and a shot
by Samantha Mahoney
that was tipped by a Spar-
tan defender. After the
game, Mahoney claimed
she was fouled.

MSU shot 19 foul
shots for the game. while
UK got to the line four
times

In a see-saw battle
that saw six ties and 11
lead changes, the more-
experienced Spartans
locked down on the de-

fensive end in the final
stretch and advanced to
the Sweet 16 for the sec-
ond straight season.

UK (22-9) Opened the
second half with a 9-1
run capped by an
Ormerod 3-pointer. giv-
ing the Cats a 43-36 ad-
vantage. MSU responded
with a 12-2 run of its own
to take a 5360 lead with
ten and a half minutes to
play. Neither team could
pull away. with the mar-
gin never growing bigger
than three points on ei
ther side until UK was
forced to foul in the final
seconds.

“We were not expect-
ing them not to play hard
(after we took a nine-
point lead)," Elliott said.

MSU senior Liz
Shimek, the school's all-
time leading scorer, was
held to 12 points in the
game. UK’s focus on
Shimek freed up fresh-
man forward Aisha Jef-
ferson to score 16 points.
Shimek said the Spar-

round of the NCAA

organizations were originally due Feb.
22. But the application process will re
main open until Friday:

“We didn‘t have a diverse pool of
applicants for the president position,"
said vice president Ashley Hayden.

“We didn‘t think we got enough ap
plicants from those across the cam-
pus," she said. “We thought It would
be best to reopen to applicants to get
more people to apply"

Livingstone said the peti-
tion represents the staff’s atti-
tude toward the pay proposal.

“It's bringing our con-
cerns with pay scales into the
forefront of the university's

lined in the Topzo Business
Plan and revising UK's cur-
rent strategic plan.

Five subcommittees will
do research and gather infor-
mation to bring back to the
main committee, said UK
spokesman Jay Blanton.

The subcommittees will of-
fer their suggestions to the
larger committee. who will
then take its recommenda-
tions to the provost and Todd.
The five groups, which have

consciousness." she said.
“The more of us that make
our feelings known, the better
irnpression we'll make."

For now. Gange said she
and the rest of the stafi“ do not
see the problem being ad-
dressed.

“He (Todd) is not really
justifying it." Gange said. “It’s
an easy cop out and it’s not an
answer people accept.”

At last week‘s forum, Todd

about 10 members each, are:
undergraduate domain. grad.
uate/ professional domain. fac~
ulty development, research
and engagement.

“The Topzo plan lays out
what the goals are to know
when we’ve achieved topzo
status. More than anything.
it’s a financial plan." Blanton
said. “Now what you need is
actual strategies to bring
those numbers to life."

said he wasn‘t happy having
to make this “tough" choice.

“The issue is that we have
finite resources. We have to
prioritize.” Todd said.

Gange said she hopes it
prevents this kind of trouble
down the road.

“Next time, it‘s going to
say. ‘You can‘t do this.’ They’re
going to have to consider the
staff next time," she said.

Burchett said the debate is
an opportunity for the “Greek
community to see each plate
form‘s side” but added that it
was important for both Greek
and non-Greek students to at-
tend.

“Actually going lets you
make your decision for your-
self," Burchett said. “Don‘t

have somebody else make it."

The second debate is host-
ed by Resident Student Associ-
ation and is in Memorial Hall
tomorrow at 7 pm.

"I can’t tell you how many
times I have heard, ‘I really
didn’t know who to vote for, so
I just chose one.’ " said Amber
Steiner, vice president of RSA.

“I strongly believe that the
RSA debate will allow all UK
students especially those liv-
ing on campus to come meet
the candidates and ask the
questions they have concern-
ing issues on campus."

The original debate time

conflicted with a previously
scheduled SG Senate meeting,
but the debate was moved to
an earlier start time and the
Senate meeting was delayed to
accommodate all candidates.

screened questions to the can-

tans‘ experience played a role
down the stretch.

“We’ve been in a lot of
close games and come back
from deficits before," she said.
“We know it’s not over until
it’s over. We’re fighters."

The Cats received a much-
needed spark off the bench
from Jenny Pfeiffer. who en-
tered the game with just un-
der 14 minutes to play in the
first half and promptly nailed
a 3-pointer on her first touch.
She also hit a 3-ball with just
under ten minutes left in the
frame. cutting a game-high

six-point Michigan State lead
in half.

With Elliott forced to nine
first half minutes after pick-
ing up an early foul, Eleia Rod-
dy provided solid play off the
bench as well, knocking down
six points in the half and
notching back-toback blocks
of Shimek on one possession
that brought the UK contin-
gent at Allstate Arena to its
feet.

“They’ve been big all year
for us," DeMoss said of Pfeif—
fer and Roddy. “Our bench has
been instrumental in our suc-
cess.“

The loss marks the end to
UK’s finest season since the
198990 team won 23 games and
the WNIT Championship. The
only time the Cats have made
the final 16 of the NCAAs was

in 1982 when the tournament
only invited 32 teams.

The players said they will
use the disappointing defeat
as motivation for next season.

“This was a great experi-
ence and we would have liked
the season to keep going,"
Pfeifier said. “Next year will
be different."

“We did a lot of good
things and made great
strides." Elliott said. “We have
no reason to hang our heads.
Don’t expect us to stay in the
shadows (next year). We are
going to compete."

DeMoss told her team af-
ter the game to feel good about
what it had accomplished.

“They don't have anything
to be ashamed of."

Sun, music and unity
prevail at Langerado

By Walter Smith
mm uusm came

While some students
may have spent their Spring
Break soaking up sun on the
beach or partying with
friends, more than 15,000 fes-
tival-goers amassed to enjoy
both and a plethora of musi-
cal acts at the fourth-annual
Langerado Music Festival at
Markham Park in Sunrise,
Fla. The sun shone down on
fans as they enjoyed more
than 40 bands spread across
five stages that featured the
likes of Wilco, The Flaming
Lips, Ben Harper, The Secret
Machines, DriveBy Truck-
ers, RJD2 and Clap Your
Hands Say Yeah.

Easily a top moment was
singer Wayne Coyne floating
across a sea of hands in a
huge clear plastic bubble to
begin The Flaming Lips' set.
The Lips are a great band to
see at a large festival be-
cause they have the ability
to put on a show that is
amazing both to someone
who has all of their albums,
as well as those who have
never heard of the band.
They had giant balloons,
streamers, fireworks, and
about 25 people dressed in
animal costumes dancing on
the side of the stage. Who
wouldn’t want to watch?

The Flaming Lips' hour-
and-a-half set was com-
prised of sing-along an-
thems off the band’s previ-
ous albums, three songs on
their soon-to-bereleased al-
bum “At War With the Mys-
tics" as well as covers of
Queen’s “Bohemian Rhap-
sody” and Black Sabbath's
“War Pigs.”

Wayne was leading this
unpredictable audio/ visual

circus and was determined
that everyone would have a
good time. “I want this place
to be a huge karaoke bar
right now," he declared be-
fore performing “Bohemian
Rhapsody," and the large
crowd was more than will-
ing to oblige.

But the thing is, the Lips
weren’t trying to be cool;
they were there to drop the
facade of being rock stars
and have a good time. The
sense of unity was strong
during the show and the
fans were enjoying exciting
and unpredictable antics on
stage. They played some of
their songs at slower tempos
than they appear on the al-
bums and this made singing
along easier for old fans as
well as those who had never
heard these songs.

The Lips closed the show
with an inspiring rendition of
the song “Do You Realize?"
with drums pounding, bass
thumping and everyone in the
crowd jumping around. The
culmination of an amazing
performance left everyone
wanting more; alas, there was
no encore, but all good things
must come to an end.

The performance could al-
most be described as a sort of
religious revival. Between the
songs, Wayne preached to the
crowd about the war in Iraq,
gay rights and his displeasure
with the current state of af-
fairs in America. The crowd,
which shared similar views.
applauded almost everything
he said.

Drive-By Truckers
turned in the weekend's oth-
er great performance. Their
style is a type of rock music
with firm Southern roots.
The Florida heat was near-

ing an unbearable mark that
afternoon, so playing music
one could listen to while re-
laxing on a back porch
seemed appropriate. Each
member of the band took a
shot from a Jack Daniels
bottle at the start of the set,
appropriately setting the
tone for the afternoon.

Bluesy renditions of
songs about the hard choic-
es one has to make over a
lifetime may not have been
the preferred music for the
Langerado jam fans, but
they got the message. If the
Lips were about undying op
timism, the Truckers were
preaching about painful re-
alism. They tell stories of a
south you don‘t really hear
to often in songs on main-
stream radio. Touching on
topics of alcoholism, the
devil. and death, it must
have been hard to relate to
these sentiments while sit-
ting in a park under the
shade of a Florida palm
tree.

The crowd did appreciate
the power of the music com-
ing through the huge speak-
ers. Technically speaking.
these four guys (and one
lady) know how to play well
with each other. Putting
three guitars over booming
drums and soulful bass has
a universal appeal if only
for its sheer difficulty.

The Truckers were play-
ing to a group of people who
would not normally go and
see this type of band. They
played with an attitude that
if you enjoyed the music,
then great, and if not. well.
you can just walk some-
where else.

Cinemechanica breaks the
mold with “Martial Arts”

By Nathan ihatgier
WE nusm camc—

Finally! It‘s the quintes-
sential album for schizo-
phrenics on crack. made by
schizophrenics on crack!
“The Martial Arts" by Geor-
gia-based band Cinemechani-
ca is as frenetic. mind-numb-
ing and manic an album as
you’ll ever find in the hard-
core music market.

Bryant Williamson (gui-
tar. vocals). Andy Pruett (gui-
tar. vocals), Joel Hatstat (bass)
and Mike Albanese (drums)
comprise Cinemechanica. a
post~hardcore band commit-
ted to innovation and sonic
distinction. which it has
achieved with its own brand
of uncompro-
mising energy
that feels more
artful and dis-
ciplined than
most noisy
hardcore mu-
sic.

listeners will
liken to The
Mars Volta.
but with less
girlish vocals

particularly Albanese‘s flaw-
less execution of widely-vary-
ing and complex arrange-
ments. The vocals are seldom
singable, and for the most
part madly harsh and de-
structive. and for some rea-
son. Pruett’s vocals remind
me of a slightly less raspy.
hellish version of Lemmy
(Motorhead).

The band seems quite
proud of their guitar hooks,
and rightquy so. “Ruins of
Karnac.“ “Brain Tarp."
“Bruckheimer” and, hell. all
of the tracks. are display cas-
es for showing off a vast ar-
ray of perfectly-timed. inven-
tive hooks. The two guitars
noodle around in brief blis-
tering circles, then, stopping

and a Complete hardcore quartet Cinemechanica.

absence of any

synthetic enhancement. Like
all hardcore outfits, the band
strives to pick all over the fret
board. scream all over the
scale and drum like they have
six arms and four legs.

The first four tracks leave
the listener (and the players.
I‘m sure) exhausted. offering
unrelenting assaults of im-
possibly fast and intricate
drumming and strumming
that creates tones ranging
from silly to malevolent. After
these tracks. you‘ll already be
impressed by the range and
intelligence of the players.

on a dime. they screech and
roar with longer. louder notes.
Each song is like getting hit
in the face with a hammer.
then with a pillow. then with a
pickaxe. then with a rubber
chicken.

“Take Me To The Hospi-
tal" is the longest and easily
the most subdued track on the
album. getting noisy for a lit
tle while before calming back
down with some almost lovely
sections of moody. downbeat
guitar picking. But it charges
right back up for a furious finv
ish that plays perfectly into

the wall of noise that opens
the next track “Get Outta
Here Hitler,“ which offers a
similar mix of murder with

just a pinch of mellow.
Cinemechanica's time
changes come without warn-
ing and switch without error,
and each song brings several
different movements that are
each entirely separate from
the first and the next. Each
song brings about three or
four varied sections of sound.
and after a few listens to these
impressive pastiches of dis-
cordant. difficult arrange-
ments. a regular music con-
sumer can't help but feel a lit-
tle gypped by the rest of their
music library, which by com-
parison seems lazy and

(any longer
and I‘m sure
these chaps
would keel
over dead)
and there
are more
notes and
beats in two
of their
songs than
you‘d find in
an entire
Beatles
thology.
W h i l e
we‘re on the
subject. their song “I’m Tired
of Paul McCartney" serves
two important functions.
First. it rocks harder than
anything else on the album
(which is saying quite a lot).
Second, the title alone makes
a fairly profound statement of
boredom with the admitted
homogeny of so much of to-
day‘s music. The very sound
of “The Martial Arts“ smacks
of this same sentiment. one
that is restless and thirsty for
change.
