Judd calls

for “peace in
our time’

By Juliann Vachon
news©kykernelcom

Ashley Judd is known around the world as an ac-
tress. but she came to UK last night as a spokes~
wotnan in another career.

'Actress. activist and UK alumna Judd spoke yes—
terday evening at the 2006 installment of the Paul G.
Blazer Lecture Series in the Humanities.

Hosted by the College of Arts and Sciences.
Judd‘s lecture. entitled “At the Root of My Longing:
Social Justice. Feminism and Spirituality" attracted a
near-capacity audience in the concert hall of the UK
Singletary Center for the Arts.

Judd serves as the ambassador for YouthAlDS. a
global initiative that raises funding for grassroots
programs to help fight the spread of HIV/AIDS
among the world's youth and in developing coun-
tries.

Judd began her speech by saying that it is her be—
lief that gender and equality issues are the root of the
HIV/AIDS epidemic in developing nations around
the world. attd that nothing short of a gender revolu-
tion will provide the world with relief and lasting
peace.

Disturbed by the unfaimess of a society built on
patriarchal values and belief systems. Judd said the
world must get past this conditioned belief that it is
nonnal for one sex to rule the other.

“I wanted to. and really I in fact had to. stand in
the face of thousands of years of patriarchy and say
that‘s not the truth." Judd said.

The face of HIV is increasingly young and female
due to gender inequality and economic. education
and legal disempowerment. Judd said.

Judd has traveled throughout Southeast Asia.
Africa and Central America to visit orphanages.
slums and brothels to offer medically accurate sex
education and empowerment to women.

She said that although her travels have opened
her cy es to a world full of misery and suffering. there
is hope iii addressing the most common refrain she
hears worldwide: "I just want something better and
different for my children."

"Compassion is my gig." Judd said.

Judd choked tip during her slide show. depicting
her educational and empowering visits to some of the
poorest communities in the world.

Judd said that she wants to raise awareness that
all over the world people are all the same.

“Cultural change is so slow; it is agonizingly
slow." Judd said. “I'm so grateful I can be part of the
solution."

Jill ()wczarlac. a student working toward her
doctorate in anthropology. said she was one of the
students who received money front Judd. which was
donated to fund graduate»student research in
HIV/AIDS.

“I'm really glad that she talked about the contro-
versy of feminism in our society." Owczarzac said.
“It giy es public validation to the things that I teach
my students every day' in anthropology ltll

It was at UK that Judd said she came of age and
began to experience the rewards of working hard and
asking for help.

Judd said she was “turned on" by the energy in
classrooms and discovered the sense of unfairness
that led her to a life of service.

President Lee Todd said he was glad the UK
community got a chance to see that Judd’s connec—
tion with the university goes past athletics.

“It‘s important for people to see this impression
of Ashley and witness her passion for social justice."
Todd said.

As she closed the speech with a prayer. Judd
prayed to the ‘God of her understanding.‘

“May there be peace," Judd said. “Above all.
above all. may there be peace in our time.“

Speaker colleges muSt market their success

By Dariush Shata

Learning how to market a
university just like a brand of
shoes or a popular soft drink
could earn studcttts a job in the
future. a marketing (‘li() said last
night at a lecture aittted at public
relations students.

Christopher Simpson. CEO
and partner of SintsponScarbor-r
ough. a marketing firm. spoke to
journalism. public relations and
integrated strategic commumca»
tion students as part of the James
C. Bowling Executive-inflat-
dence Lecture Series. Simpson
focused on how institutions of
higher education need to change
the current trend of poor commu-
nications and marketing.

“We‘ve done a woefully in
adequate job of telling the suc-
cess story of higher education."
Simpson said. “Woefully inade-
quate is the best I can put it."

Right now. Simpson said.
colleges and their many facets

ltave a negative public image to
shed.

“If you look at the impres-
sioit of faculty members nation-
wide. it‘s poor. If you look at the
impression of administrators. it's
pretty bad. If you look at the ini»
pression of tuttion. it's 30 pcr~
cent higher than the actual cost."

Simpson said marketing
means promoting a university‘s
strengths ~- including academic
programs and educational oppor-
tunities.

"We’ve got to embrace mill"
kcting." Simpson said. “Our
communicators have got to stop
being passive."

Simpson worked for seven
years at Indiana University as
vice president of public affairs
and government relations. and
said marketing improved private
and ptiblic fiindraising. enroll»
ment and research funding.

“We understood what our im-
age was and we built on our
strengths." he said.

Simpson said too much time

has been spent focusing on the
media. and instead attention
sltould be turtied elsewhere to
promote successful marketing

“We have missed the boat on
the media." Simpson said. "The
web is absolutely by far the
greatest marketing tool universi-
ties have"

Simpson added that UK has
taken sonte of these principles to
heart. especially through its pro-
motion of the Top 30 BUsincss
Plait.

"I'm very' impressed with
what you're doing here." Simp-
son said. “UK has still got a long
way to go though."

John Guthrie. chairman and
CEO of the leading Kentucky
public relations firm (iutliric
Mayes. said Simpson's lecture
showed students that they have a
future in what they‘re learning
and gave them ideas on how to
branch into an .ts-yet untapped
field

“It shows that there are op
portunities in marketing and pub—

lic relations in higher education."
Guthrie said. adding that this is a
way .for today's students to mild
ciice tomorrow‘s uni\ersities.
“There‘s an opportunity for
young people especially to im«
proye higher education."

Beth Barnes. director of the
['K School of Journalism and
Telecommunications. said that
this lecture has other benefits as
well.

"The lecture series overall.
otic of the most important parts
of it is to giyc them istudentsi
exposure to someone who Illls
been highly successful in the
public relations field." Barnes
said.

Students also said they came
away from the lecture with
something.

”It was kind of cool to see it
(public relations) from the point
of view of the university." said
integrated strategic communica-
tion sophomore Louise Bow den.
"I never thought it would be like
marketing for a school."

 

Students meet for marijuana refonn

etroutrnan©kykernel corn

Stuffing a brownie in his mouth in front
of the Classroom Building yesterday. Andy
Barnes realized the message on his shin con-
tradicted his cause.

The undecided freshman. who openly ad-
mits to smoking marijuana. was wearing an
old D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Iidu-
cation) t-shirt.

“I guess I didn‘t think about this (event)
before I put it on." he said.

Barnes and about 30 students advocating
the legalization of marijuana gathered in
front of the Classroom Building yesterday to
promote UK's chapter of the National Orga—
nization for Reform of Marijuana Laws
(NORML). The group. which was estab-
lished at UK two years ago. handed out in»
formation pamphlets about marijuana laws
and brownies.

Barnes. who supports the legalization of
marijuana. believes smoking the drug is

harmless.

"People say it‘s a gateway to other
drugs." he said. "But it jtist depends on the
person."

Gatewood Cialbraith. the speaker of the
event. encouraged students to exercise their
Constitutional right to question the standing
cannabis laws in Kentucky. Galbraith. a Kett-
tucky politician and lawyer. supports the
medical use of marijuana. the hemp industry
and an individual‘s right to possess marijua~
na.

“Resistance is what gives the Constitu-
tion life." he said. "And the War on Drugs is
a war against the people."

According to the Marijuana Policy Pro-

ject. Americans pay about $12 billion a year

for the govemment's “War on Marijuana"
campaign. A 2002 poll by CNN and Time
Magazine reported that 72 percent of Ameri-
cans believe people who use marijuana
should not be jailed and 80 percent support
medicinal marijuana.

Galbraith. who urged students to vote for

him in the 2007 gubernatorial election.
vowed to push the decriminali/ation of mari~
juana. He thinks the public will benefit from
marijuana as a resource and treatment for
those suffering from disease.

”I am trying to get marijuana into the
hospitals to the sick and dying people." he
said.

Will Mattingly. president of NORMI. at
UK. said the purpose of the rally was to
spread the “truths" about marijuana.

“We want to separate fact from fiction."
he said. “Mainly. we are trying to inform the
community on the benefits of hemp."

Mattingly. a civil engineering senior.
stressed that IE states have already legalized
the medical use of marijuana. NORML is
collecting signatures for a petition that
would send the issue of marijuana legaliza—
tion to the Kentucky legislature.

Stephan Bayne. an arts administration
freshman. signed the petition.

“There ‘s more pros than cons to legaliz-
ing it.“ he said. “It‘s just logical."

Over night, 13-
month-old David
has literally gone
from rags to
unthinkable riches

“I was just drawn to him,"
Madonna told Oprah. Winfrey.
explaining how she pursued
baby David's adoption even
after hearing that a South
African couple had shown in—
terest in him. Indeed, staffers
at Kumbali Country Lodge.
where she and Guy Ritchie
stayed during their eight-day
sojourn in Malawi, tell Us he
has brought out her softer side.

Maternal instincts.
“Madonna doted over this boy.
checking the temperature of
his milk." says an employee.
Adds another. “Before she
went out for a jog. she‘d give
David a little kiss."

What‘s next? After the ini~
tial furor over the adoption.
David's biological father.
Yohane Banda. now says hu-
man~rights activists misunder—
stood: “Me and my family
agreed with the adoption. [just
want these people to leave my
son alone." Meanwhile.
Madonna has vowed to visit
her new son’s homeland at
least once a year. “My goal is
that I will give David an edu—
cation. What better way for
him to go back and help his
own people?"

‘I'IIE DESI-l

 

Baby David's Life: Then &
Now:

Family Life

Malawian farmer Yohane
Banda. 32 (who earns $1,040 a
year gardening onions). left
son David to an orphanage afl
ter his two other sons died of
malaria in infancy and his
wife. Marita. 28. succumbed to
anemia (not HIV, as Madonna
was originally told).

Big sis Lourdes. 10. and
bro Rocco, 6, round out life
with new parents Madonna. 48
(Forbes estimates her net
worth at $300 million). and
Guy Ritchie. 38. “David’s a
superstar at the house," says a
source. “The kids totally ac—
cepted him as soon as they
met."

Two weeks after his birth.
David joined 500 other chil-
dren at Home of Hope orphan-
age in Malawi. “No child can
grow to lead a prosperous life
in these conditions." David‘s
uncle. Wiseman Zimba. tells
Us.

At Madonna’s $13 million
home in London. “there‘s a
playroom filled with toys and
hundreds of children's books."
says a source. And don’t forget
her $17 million English coun-
try estate and $15 million Bev-
erly Hills pad.

Health

“When 1 met him. he was

extremely ill." Madonna said
on The Oprah Winfrey Show.
“He had severe pneumonia and
could hardly breathe. . . . He
had survived malaria and tu-
berculosis.“

“He has tested negative for
everything from tuberculosis
to malaria, HIV. etc.." Madon-
na told Winfrey. Adds a
source. “A doctor comes to see
David once a day." in addition
to a rotating staff of nurses.

Diet

“I couldn‘t afford baby
milk," Banda tells Us of his de-
cision to send David to the or—
phanage. “He could have died.'
And according to Madonna.
even the orphanage “doesn t
have enough food.”

Madge’s chef has prepared
special dishes using Malawi sta-
ples. such as yams. And David
has his own nutritionist! Says a
source. “The food is so different
here. even baby purees could
upset his tummy."

Clothing

Kids at the orphanage
“only had one outfit each, so
they don’t do laundry."
Madonna marveled to Winfrey.
“When we asked how often
they did laundry. they looked
at us like we were crazy."

The star mom ordered a
$7.200 luxe winter wardrobe
from L.A.’s Petit Tresor on
Oct. 20. Inside the express
shipment to London: cashmere
cardigans. onesies and pajao
mas.

Paintball club
shoots for
national title,
recognition I

By Kenny Colston
sports©kykernelcom

The paintball players, protected by heavy cloths and
masks. shoot off rounds as they run frantically for pro—
tection.

From the other end of the field someone yells that
he’s hit. Then comes silence. an eerie silence. A mask
pokes around the corner of a balloon barricade. Another
mask sees it. More paintballs start flying.

“Games are intense, from the minute the silent 10-
count starts till the buzzer sounds to start the game."
club president Patrick Lancaster said. “After the buzzer.
it's so fast. people yelling. screaming and getting shot at.
It's a rush that defines our sport."

Lancaster and the rest of the UK Paintball Club are
out dodging in pursuit of one thing: the opposing team's
flag.

“Everyone‘s personality and moods change once it's
game time," freshman club member Tyler Numley said.

Having started three years ago. the paintball club is
relatively young. The team is slowly growing with five
new freshmen joining this season.

“We gained a lot of talent this year: we are definitely
moving forward," senior Ryan Radcliff said of the club.

The paintball club is split into two groups. a tourna—
ment team and a recreational team.

No experience is needed for either team.

“You don’t have to be extremely hardcore to join the
club,” Radcliff said

The club collects no fees. Instead they have local
businesses sponsor the tournament team and have agree—
ments with local fields for practice use. The recreational
team is mostly composed of people who just like to go
out in the woods and play paintball; the tournament team
on the other hand is a little more serious.

“If you want to be on the tournament team. we‘ll
work with you to get you to the level where you can
compete on our team." Lancaster said.

The tournament team competes in the South-Atlantic
Athletic Conference of the National Collegiate Paintball
Association. Most tournaments the team attends are five—

both matches and national tournaments.

man tournaments located within a five-to—seven hour dri—

ve from campus. The team competed in Chattanooga.

Tenn. on Oct. 19-21.

"We‘d love to make it to the National Title Tourna»
ment in April." Lancaster said.

Tournaments are usually round robin. with a team
playing six to eight games in the first round. Based on
points after the first round. the top tour teams advance to
the championship round. after which the team uith the
most points is announced champion.

Teams gain points on a loll-point system. Grabbing a
flag and hanging it on the opposing side of the field
awards 50 points to a team. A team is awarded 3” points
if someone grabs the flag but doesn‘t accomplish hang-
ing it. Three points go to a team for each elimination.
and one point is awarded for every member left on the
team at the end. Having played in only one tournament
before Chattanooga. the club is hoping to attend more
tournaments to improve their play.

“It‘s something I like to do." Numley said. "It‘s a
great thing to be able to do in college. instead of just go—
ing to the field and trying to get into pick~up games."

During the year. there are certain games that deline
a team‘s season.

Come tomorrow. the Cats (4—4. 2-3) will haw a
shot at defining their season and turning around their
club when they take on the Bulldogs of Georgia (6-3.
3-3). who own the series between themselves and UK.

“This would be huge for our program to win a
game like this. but it‘s going to be a big challenge for
us." offensive coordinator Joker Phillips said. “Our
kids have to come out and stay focused. play with
some emotions. play physical and just give oursehes a
chance to win the game in the fourth quarter.“

The Cats will be up against a Georgia defense that
gives up an average 273 yards a game. the third best
in the Southeastem Conference.

Points will be necessary for the
Cats to make up for their defense.
which ranks last in the SEC ili points

coach Rich Brooks said it will be criti-
cal for the Cats to get on the score

“Clearly getting some points on the

Brooks said. “We need to make sure

control their bowl destiny on their

year. as the (”tits are 3-] at bottle. with

UK is hoping that their chance at
victory will come in the form of Geor—
gia turnovers.

“The area that they‘ve been poor in
is the turnovers." Brooks said. "We‘ve
been fortunate to be on the plus side.
and we‘re one of the better teams in the
league. and they‘re one of the poorer
teams in the league. If we continue that
in this game. we have a real good shot
at getting the win."

ond in the league with a plus-one
turnover margin,

Georgia‘s freshman quarterback.
Matt Stafford. has thrown nine inter—
ceptions this season and just three
touchdowns.

“We have to get pressure on him
(Stafford) and get in his head as soon
as we can. so we can force him into
throwing a bunch of incompletions and
hopefully sortie turnovers." Junior line-
backer Wesley Woody’ard said. "If we
go out there and force a bunch of
turnovers. it'll put us in great position
to win this ballgame."

Brooks said that he hopes that his
team will be able to come out on top

“We've certainly put ourselves in
the final third of the season with a
chance to do something that hasn‘t
been done around here very often."
Brooks said. "This game coming up

And the responsibility for that falls on
the shoulders of students.

Tomorrow is Rich Brooks' best ,..
and perhaps last shot at a signature
victory. It‘s a win that could move the
Cats out of fifth place in the division
for the first time since people still car»

KEYS TO THE GAME

For UK: Turnovers. Georgia is last in the league in
turnover margin. UGA head coach Mark Richt said
the Bulldogs have no shot at beating the Cats if they
don't hold onto the football. Last week against
Florida, they turned it over five times. UK, on the
other hand, is second in the league in turnover mar.
gin. They have forced 18 on the season, and have
only committed 10. In a game that figures to go
down to the gun, a late turnover could be the differ~
ence.

For Georgia: Relieving the pressure off of Matthew
Stafford. Stafford. a true freshman quarterback. has
never started a road game in the SEC. Not that
Commonwealth Stadium is the most daunting place
to play in the South, but an SEC road game is an
SEC road game. Georgia can't afford to get behind
early and rely on the arm of Stafford to dig the
Bulldogs out of a hole

WHO TO WATCH

When UK has the hall: Alfonso Smith. Smith, a red-
shirt freshman, saw his first extensive action last
week against Mississippi State, and he took full ad-
vantage, rushing for 92 yards on 17 carries, He also
rumbled in for his first career touchdown. The UK
coaches have said in the past that Smith is the
fastest back of the three. Georgia’s rush defense is
third in the SEC, but they gave up 156 yards last
week to Florida. UK must develop a rushing game to
take the heat off of quarterback Andre Woodson.

When Georgia has the hall: Running back Kregg
Lumpkin, UK‘s run defense hasn’t been able to stop
anyone this year. UGA IS starting a true freshman
quarterback, so even more of the offensive load might
be handed off to Lumpkin, Lumpkin. a 6-foot-l. 224
pound junior, has rushed for 518 yards and four touch-
downs this season.

BEST MATCHUP

Georgia defensive and Quentin Moses versus UK
right tackle Michael Aitchoson. Moses is one of the
best defensive ends in the nation and a likely NFL
first—round draft pick, That being said, Aitcheson
might not have to cover him alone. The offensive line
Wlll have to be good on Moses, because he Will be
coming from Woodson's blind side.
