Student’s father calls for action

By Dariush Shafa

THE KENTUCKY KERNEL

The father of a UK student killed
in an alcohol-related incident last
year called for city and state legisla-
tion. as well as assistance from UK. to
prevent more drinking-related deaths.

A year ago. incoming sophomore
Brian Muth was struck and killed by
a tractor-trailer on New Circle Road.
Tuesday morning. English sopho-
more Thomas Byers III was struck
and killed by a train in another inci-
dent involving underage drinking.

Michael Muth Sr. Brian's father.
said his voice wasn‘t heard then. but
he hopes changes will be made now.

“All I was hearing back then was
the reasons why that wouldn‘t work
and not ‘How can we make this
work?” Muth said.

Muth saidthat though UK cannot
directly control what happens off
campus. it can work with local and
state legislators to create restrictive
laws that would limit the size of par-
ties. controlling them before they be

come too large for officers to handle.
Both Byers and Brian Muth were
killed following parties with underage
drinking.

“You’ve got to stop the parties
from getting that size." Muth said.
“Somewhere along the line. someone
has to decide what a life is worth."

Brian Muth. a 19-year-old sopho
more from Louisville. was arrested
while intoxicated on Aug. 24. 2004. and
was later released into the custody of
a friend. UK sophomore Aaron Mc-
Nulty. while still intoxicated. While
McNulty was speaking with jailers.
Muth left the jail and was later struck
and killed by a tractor-trailer on near-
by New Circle Road.

That incident has similarities to
Byers' death. Byers. who transferred
from the University of Mississippi.
was also 19 years old when he died. He
tried to flee UK police officers at a par-
ty on the 100 block of Conn Terrace
and was later struck and killed by a
train near the Virginia Avenue over-

A UK assistant professor shared
her 13-month struggle with cancer
and chemotherapy last night A a
battle documented in self-portrait

She‘s training to compete in a
triathlon. and she's raising money to
do so.

Ruth Adams. a photography pro»

Disease in November 2002. After she
began chemotherapy that next
month. Adams decided to showcase
her struggle with the treatments

through a series of
photographs she
took herself for a lit-
tle over a year.

“There are a lot
of things out there
written that show
the before and after
but not the actual
journey through the
disease." Adams
said.

Millions in taxes marked for
facility, bus improvements

By Dariush Shafa

lNE KENTUCKY KENNEL

An expiring federal grant means
UK students will have to open their
wallets to ride LexTran buses for the
first time in three years.

Students previously rode the bus-
es for free by showing their student
IDs. but now students must pay $50 a
semester. or $75 for the school year. to
ride LexTran buses on city routes as
part of the “class pass" program.

Despite the sudden change. Lex-
Tran officials said they're trying to
keep bus transportation cost-friendly
for students.

“We hope that it's attractive
enough to meet their budget." said
Dave Riggins. LexTran‘s director of
community affairs.

Normal fare for LexTran buses is
$30 per month. or $120 per semester.

LexTran provided bus transporta-
tion around the city to students for
free through a federal Congestion
Mitigation and Air Quality grant.
The grant. worth $4.8 million over
three years. expires at the end of this
month.

LexTran has the option of renew-
ing the grant. but regulations state
that the grant cannot be used for the
same purpose after it has been re-
newed. Riggins said.

Another change is who can use
the “class pass“ system. The program
is available to any Fayette County
student 1 college or otherwise
who can show proof of enrollment
when buying the pass.

“We felt it was only fair when we
looked at this to open this up to all
students in Fayette County. regard-
less of where they go to school.“ Rig-
gins said.

The pass is not available to uni-
versity faculty and staff. who must
pay standard fares.

Recent rises in gas prices are part
of the reason Riggins believes the
“class pass" program will help Lex-
Tran bring in more revenue. Overall
usage of LexTran buses has risen 6 to
10 percent in the last three weeks,
which Riggins attributed to steep gas
prices.

In November. LexTran will re-
ceive $11.3 million through a tax that
voters approved in November 2004.
That money. however. is slated to
fund improvements to LexTran‘s fa-
cilities. buses and services. Riggins
said.

Some students aren't so opti-
mistic that the new plan will be a stic-
cess.

“They'll probably lose business."
said undeclared sophomore Kelly
Stone. “I wouldn't use it unless I had
to.“

Others said they don't have much
option but to pay and ride.

“1 don't know if it will change
anything (for me)." said psychology
junior Luke Moons. “I‘ll have to pay
it."

Anyone who wants to buy a “class
pass" may do so at the UK parking of-
fices on the corner of Rose Street and
Euclid Avenue. or at Parking Struc-
ture No. 5 on South Limestone Street.

Decal designed to illuminate students, road safety concerns

By Dariush Shafa
iii mm Enid

UK police are hoping that some
thing shiny will help catch people's
eyes and better protect pedestrians
on campus.

To further pedestrian safety UK
has ordered 3.000 reflective badges
that can be attached to clothing or
students' bags to make pedestrians
more visible. The badges are free.

The badges. which come in blue
with a UK logo. cost about $1.60 each
and are being paid forjointly by UK
police and the office of the dean of
students. The badges are currently
in transit from the manufacturer in
Finland. and UK police will began
distributing them when they arrive.

then. finally the beginning of the
return to normalcy.

“i thought it was interesting
that the treatment. not the can

sick." Adams said.

The reality that Adams was.
in fact. sick set in when her hair
began to fall out.

“The loss of my hair was like
an outward symbol to the world
that I had cancer." she said.

Without her family as her
support. Adams said she would

on the support of friends. co-
workers and her students. During
her treatment. Adams never

she considered to be of utmost
importance.

“When you‘re sick. you really

ting run over. that‘s what we're look-
ing for." said Kevin Franklin. acting
UK police chief. “They‘re becoming
aware. People are starting to think
about it and...using more caution."

The badges are the latest addi-
tion to the Pedestrian Awareness
and Safety Program. which started
last spring. Police created the pro
gram after five accidents occurred
in a three-month period. including
one that killed a UK Chandler Med-
ical Center employee and another
where a UK spokeswoman was seri-
ously injured.

Since the program began. there
have been no pedestrian-vehicle ac-
cidents.

Police got the idea from govern-
ments in Europe. which distribute

willing to help you. When people
offer to help. they really want to.
and you have to believe them and

Adams‘ parents flew in every
other weekend during her treat-
ment. and her sister and brother-
inlaw came three times a month.
mostly to attend doctor's appoint-
ments with her.

"When you have this disease.
you can't ever go to the doctor by
yourself. You just can't do that
kind of a thing alone.“ Adams
said. “You have to take anyone:

guy from the street."

The team has four coaches. as
well as three mentors who have
all participated in the triathlon

“I first thought about doing a
triathlon last summer when l
went to New York and watched
my cousin participate in one,“
Adams said. “I thought that the
people looked normal. and that it
would be a good way to get back
into shape. It let me be normal
again."

hours.

“If the governments of Finland.
Sweden and Denmark see fit to give
these to students. they might work.”
Franklin said. “You can see people
four to five times farther than what
your lights actually show."

In the coming weeks. UK police

will also ticket people who jaywalk
and drivers who break laws in areas
with high pedestrian traffic.

“The road is not getting any big-
ger. but we doubled or tripled the
amount of pedestrian traffic" and
vehicle traffic when classes started.
Franklin said.

“All we're asking is people to be
safe. be intelligent. use common
sense.” he said. “Don't just dash out
into the road."

Tickets for jaywalking are $100
each and police are hoping that a
fine will deter jaywalkers. but some
students say they’ll take their
chances.

“I’m still going to jaywalk. just
because it’s faster." said animal sci-
ences freshman Shana Wolfe. “(I'll)
look for cops and make sure they

aren’t looking."

Some student said it will change
their habits.

“I work at Pizza Hut and walk
across the street every day." said
psychology senior Brandon Fergu-
son. “It's going to be safer because
people won’t be running out in front
of your car all the time.”

Other students are grateful for
the program.

“I have to get around campus,
but I drive around campus. too,"
said linguistics sophomore Sunny
Allen. "People just run headlong in
front of your car.

“I’m glad they're giving out tick-
ets because I guess that’s the only
way people learn to be careful with

‘their lives."

Monroe said.

“We are looking to see and basical-

ed that."

Monroe said Byers drank in his
residence before attending the off-

Byers ran from police at a Conn
Terrace party and died when a Nor-
folk Southern train hit him while he
was trying to run across the tracks
near the Virginia Avenue overpass.
according to UK police.

Susan Terpay. spokeswoman for
the Virginia railroad corporation.
said it‘s unfortunate but deaths along
train tracks aren't that uncommon.

“People must recognize walking
on the tracks iS extremely dangerous
and against the law." she said.

Terpay said the train that hit By-
ers could have been traveling up to 40
mph when it hit him.

According to Operation Lifesaver.
an organization that educates people
about the dangers of railroad tracks.
more than 5.000 people have been
killed along train tracks in the United
States since 1990.

In 2004. 480 people died on Ameri-
can railroad tracks; seven deaths oc-
curred in Kentucky

Wesley Ross, State Coordinator for
Operational Lifesaver in Kentucky.
said a moving train can be “an optical
illusion" when trying to judge its
speed.

“They seem farther away than
they actually are.“ Ross said. “That's
what makes judging a train's speed so
tough and why it’s impossible to accu-
rately judge the speed of an oncoming
train."

“It was surprising that it

Muth is involved in sever-
al programs trying to create

rect action needs to be taken,
he said.

“It’s not just coming up

grams." he said. “We can’t
wait for a culture change.”

Though the change is too
late to save his son or Byers.
Michael Muth believes it is
important to save lives in the
future.

“Maybe that’s a message
saying. ‘We didn’t pay atten-
tion last year. maybe we
should pay attention now.”
Muth said. “If they don’t (pay

Bush ac

owledges cas

ualties,

pledges never to retreat in Iraq

By Sam Coates and Mike Allen

THE WASHINGION POSl

NAMPA. Idaho Presi-
dent Bush, rebutting a rising
anti-war movement in the
country and on Capitol Hill.
told National Guard soldiers
and their families Wednes-
day that terrorists "want us
to retreat" but vowed that he
never will.

Bush spoke frankly for
the second time in three days
about the casualties the US.
military is continuing to suf-
fer in Iraq but rejected de-
mands for the troops to come
home. calls that have gained
widespread attention during
the month he has spent at his
ranch in Texas.

“An immediate withdraw-
al of our troops in Iraq. or
the broader Middle East. as
some have called for. would
only embolden the terrorists
and create a staging ground
to launch more attacks
against America and free na-
tions.“ he said.

“So long as I’m the presi-
dent. we will stay. we will
fight. and we will win the
war on terror."

Bush‘s status as a
wartime president has
helped him politically in the
past, but his advisers said
they are worried that
tragedies in Iraqi and a sour
reaction at home- could
turn that into a burden this
fall.

White House officials said
they vieWed the speech. the
second of three he plans to
give in the two weeks before
Labor Day. as crucial oppor—
tunity for Bush to show both
compassion and resolve
when his conduct of the war
is increasingly being pub-
licly questioned. and polls of
public support are flirting
with Vietnam War-era
depths.

During a month when he
has been shadowed by Cindy
Sheehan. the anti-war moth-
er of a soldier killed in Iraq.
the president drew thunder-
ous applause from the cam-
ouflage-clad National Guard

troops and others in the Ida-
ho Center arena when he
saluted “a mom named Tam-
my l’ruett." who has sent six
loved ones to Iraq.

Asserting that "the stakes
in Iraq could not be higher."
Bush contended that the na-
tion is “achieving our strate‘
gic objectives in Iraq."

It is that last contention

that the United States is
moving purposely toward its
goals and an accompanying
exit from Iraq that has
been subject to increasing
skepticism by Democrats
this summer.

Bush’s aides said they re-
alize that the death toll in
Iraq at least 1,867 at the
time Bush spoke will soon
reach 2.000. a milestone that
will provide a major plat-
form for his critics.

Against this backdrop.
the aides said the speech was
designed to portray a stark
choice between completing
the mission in Iraq and
showing weakness to terror-
ists who are prepared to
strike in the United States
suggesting dire conse-
quences at home from a
hasty withdrawal abroad.

Sheehan. whose son
Casey died in an ambush of
his Army unit in Iraq last
year. returned to Crawford.
Texas, late Wednesday
about the time that Bush re-
turned from Idaho and re-
sumed a peace vigil that she
broke off last week to care
for her ailing mother.

Sheehan has served as a
galvanizing force for oppo-
nents of the war. drawing
hundreds of activists to rur-
al Crawford in support of her
demand to meet personally
with Bush and call for a com-
plete pullout from Iraq.

While Bush (lid not men-
tion her by name. he broke
with his two—year policy of
avoiding specific mention of
casualties and gave a figure
about the loss of life for the
second speech in a row.

“In this war, we have said
farewell to some very good

”...we will
stay, we will
fight, and we
will win the
war on terror."
George W. Bush

men

and women. including 491 he
roes of the National Guard
and Reserves." he said.
“These brave men and
women gave their lives for a
cause that is just and neces.
sary for the security of our
country. and now we will
honor their sacrifice by com-
pleting their mission."

By unmistakable implica-
tion. he offered Pruett as a
counterpoint to Sheehan.
She has four sons serving in
Iraq with Idaho‘s National
Guard. A fifth son and her
husband. Leon I’ruett. re-
turned from the country last
year. where they had helped
train Iraqi firefighters.

“There are few things in
life more difficult than see~
ing a loved one go off to
war." he said.

“Tammy says this and I
want you to hear this: ‘I
know that if something hap-
pens to one of the boys. they
would leave this world doing
what they believe. what they
think is right for our coun-
try.’ And I guess you couldn't
ask for a better way of life
than giving it for something
that you believe in. America
lives in freedom because of
families like the Pruetts."

After the speech. the pres-
ident spent tWo hours with 19
families. mostly from Idaho.
which lost relatives in Iraq
and Afghanistan.

The relatives were select-
ed by Gov. Dirk Kempthorne.
R. who telephoned them on
Sunday night. officials said.

To huge applause. the
president promised to mini
mize the number of exten-
sions and repeat mobiliza-
tion.

He said reservists would
now get 30 days of notice ”in
most cases" before mobiliz-
ing for duty. and greater ac-
cess to the military medical
system before and after re-
porting for duty. and funds
for education.

These pledges come dur-
ing one of the worst months
for deaths among the Nation-
al Guard and Reserves. The
National Guard has been
stretched to its limits by the,
battle in Afghanistan and
Iraq. with some units doing
two or three tours of duty

The Idaho National

.Guard has had eight casual-

ties in Iraq. and a further es-
timated 128 injured. accord-
ing to the Department of De-
fense. Last December. Lt.
Gen. H. Steven Blum. the
head of the Guard. said that
the guard was “under-re-
sourced" and "under
equipped.“

In his remarks. Bush not-
ed that he is one of 19 presi-
dents who have served in the
National Guard , in Bush’s
case. as a pilot in the Texas
Air National Guard during
the Vietnam War era.

That tenure. and ques
tions over whether Bush met
his responsibilities, erupted
in Bush's re-election effort
last year.

Locals queued from be-
fore dawn to get hold of some
of the leftover tickets for the
speech. and gave the presi-
dent more than a dozen
standing ovations during his
43-minute speech.

Jill Blue. whose brother
Marty is serving in the Air
Force, said she was reas-
sured by the Bush‘s words.

“I‘m glad that he‘s seeing
out the job. I liked what he
said about honoring the peo«
ple who have died by not
pulling out. It was a good
comment."

KICKER ENJOYS SIDESTEPPING THE BIG BLUE SPOTLIGHT

By Laura Nelligan
TNE KENTUCKY KERNEL

When walking around
campus. it‘s usually easy to
spot athletes.

Seven-foot basketball
players that tower over
everyone.

Massively built football
players decked out in Wildcat
blue.

Even the faces that fre-
quently grace the front page
of the sports section.

But not everyone is easy
to recognize.

“I like the anonymity.“
said senior football kicker
Taylor Begley. who made his
way to his first class yester-
day without any shouts.
whistles or girly giggles.

“My job is to go out and
kick the football. I don‘t de-
serve any extra publicity."

However. his perfor-
mance on the team and in
the classroom should earn
him credit.

Begley: a 6~foot. 200»pound
left-footed kicker. has the [K
record for 77 consecutive ex-
tra points which is still go-
ing.

Last season. Begley
notched a career-best 52-yard
field goal at home against Al~
abama. two weeks after his
second-best Slyarder at
Florida.

He finished his under-
graduate degree in electri-
cal engineering with a 3.79:3
grade point average. a ma-

jor not common among
members of the football
team.

“It‘s tough.“ Begley said.
“It‘s a lot of work outside of
class. Its snot always interest
ing. but I in good at it.‘

Because the 'Cats had the
day off from practice. Begley
began his day at noon with
EB 630. Digital Signal Pro-
cessing.

Begley walked into the
classroom yesterday and
took a seat by himself. not
talking to any of the other
students around him.

"I‘m a minority
class." Begley said.

He doesn‘t spend much
time socializing in class. and
he rarely sees any of his
classmates outside of Ander-
son Hall.

Begley calls this aspect of
his major a “double-edged
sword." Although his time in

the classroom isn't very en-
tertaining. he isn't distracted
because friends do not sur-
round him.

Routinely busy

Begley gets up around 6
o‘clock every morning and
goes to the team breakfast.
He has team meetings from 7
to .9 am. and practice until
about noon. After being up
for six hours. he then begins
his school day.

Begley said he tries to get
things done before leaving
campus.

“I like to leave school at
school." he said.

Free from distraction. Be-
gley tries to get his work
done in Anderson Hall before
heading home. This leaves
the weekend to relax and
think about football. he said.

This semester. his sched—
ule works pretty well with
his major. but that has not al»
ways been the case.

During previous seasons.
Begley has had to miss prac-
tice due to scheduling con~
flicts.
