Stars' Sexy Side Updos

Perfectly imperfect? Natalie

ping traditional chignons and
ponytails in favor of off-center
styles. The appeal? "They‘re
easy and not fussy-looking."
says celeb hairstylist David
Evangelist-a. whose clients in—
clude Hilary Swank and Julia
Stiles. And with the holiday sea-
son right around the comer.
these dos are the perfect way to
look chic without going to the
salon. .

Get the look For a casual-
yet—polished style. try an off—kil-
ter bun. Split hair evenly into
two side-by-side ponytails and
tie with elastics. Knot one pony-
tail into a bun and wrap the oth-
er one around it. Says Evange-
lista. "The key is to position the
bun low. right under the ear-
lobe." Use bobby pins to secure
into place.

Mayor opposes parts of city immigration proposal

art-raga 3mm
news©kyltornelcom

Lexington Mayor Iirn New berry
.said he opposed two recommendations
to give illegal immigrants driver s h—
censes and ID cards at a forum yester-
day where the city's Commission on
Immigration submitted a final report of
how to manage immigrmtts.

The nine-person commission.
which is made up of educators. public
safety officials volunteers and immigra-
tion advocates. conducted a five-month
study reviewing the economic and po»
litical developments resulting from the
influx of immigrants. and It presented
the final seven recommendations yes-
terday.

Driver‘s licenses are the responsi-
bility of the state government. not the
local govemment. Newberry said. so
the city would have no authority to is-

 

sue them.

New berry. who said he has not
thoroughly examined the report. said he
has not seen any positive results in New
Haven. Conn. the first city in the na—
tion to begin issuing local identification
cards to residents who do not have state
or federal ll)s so they can open a bank
account or identify themselves.

"I'm also concerned about the ex—
pense and the likelihood that many peo-
ple who are concemed about their Im»
migration status may not seek to get
them anyway.‘ New berry said.

The other recommendations in the
report included:

I Iinforcing housing codes In a
way that does not target immigrants.

I Establishing a local Office of

International :,\ffaIrs

I Ensuring the city is meeting
obligations of the ( H il Rights \ct.

I I nlorcmg existing labor laws.

I Identifying how much assIs<
tance W if any local law agencies
should give to enforce federal immigra-
tion laws.

Federal law lands the role of local

and state govemment in enforcement of

federal immigration laws.
said.

Newberry said he wants members
of the Lexington community to remain
tolerant and respectful of others‘ view-
points as immigration issues are being
addressed.

"It's clear that immigration issues
are matters of great concern to many
Lexingtonians. and while some would
simply prefer to ignore those concerns
and hope they go away. that approach
rarely works.” he said.

"This is a difficult issue for our corn-
munity. but I am confident that we can
work together to find solutions that will
work for Lexington." NeWberry' said.

Newberry

The only recommendation that all
nine members of the commission sup-
ported Is that housing-code enforce~
ment should not unfairly target immi-
grants. Reallocation of govemment re-
sources for staffing and training would
be needed to accomplish this. the report
said.

Brian L. Rich. who is a member of
the commission. an associate professor
of sociology at Transylvania University
and a board member of the Kentucky
Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee
Rights. said public safety is the No. I
issue for the commission.

“We have to keep in mind that peo—
ple who immigrate here. especially un—
documented people. the last thing they
want to do is get in trouble.” he said.
"The vast majority are here to help feed
their families. to support their families.
and they are good examples of what
good families do."

Secrets to be unveiled

Students will be offered the
chance to share their secrets
with a man who's seen thou—

PostSecret began as

stories about himself and other
lives that have been changed by
sending secrets to a stranger.
The idea of PostSccrel is
unique and gives people the
freedom to share their
own secrets. said ('al—

Warren asked people to ren has received more than

anonymously share their sc—
crets with him on decorated
postcards. The project has since
evolved into a regularly updat-
ed Web site and four books of
collections of secrets.

In an interview with NBC.
Warren said the objective of
PostSecret was to provide a
safe. non—judgmental place
where people could share what
they would not be able to tell
even a close family member.

In his lecture tonight. War—
ren will be sharing never—before-
seen secrets that were left out of
his first book. according to the

the world. according to a UK

tion ranges from funny facts to
humiliating childhood experi~
ences to darker. more guarded
secrets.

On top of giving people an
outlet to express their secrets.
Warren has also donated pro—
ceeds to the National Hopeline
Network. a suicide-prevention
hotline. according to the news
release.

Warren is currently promot—
ing his fourth book. "A Life-

leased last month.

UK class explores

futuristic options

for mass transit in Lexington

news@kykernel com

Civil engineering students and the Lexing—
ton Transit Authority are researching different
ways to improve public transportation in Les—
ington.

The students' system design class are ex-
ploring transit systems that could alleviate
parking problems and roadway congestion.
improve air quality. connect downtown to
Lexington colleges and bring in more busi»
ness for the downtown area.

Half the class is researching the potential
for an elevated train system that would link
Transylvania University. UK. downtown and
the (‘olds‘tream Research Campus. The other
half of the class is researching a futuristic sub—
way-taxi service.

The elevated system. or Automated
(iuideway Transit system. can transport hun~
dreds of people at a time above traffic and
traffic lights and has a top speed of ()0 mph,

The taxi-train system is called a Personal
Rapid Transit system. It would transport few—
er people than the AGT system does but
would be more accessible with stations
throughout the city and ears that would stop
within a block or two of patrons‘ desired des-
tinations. said Ben Homback. a civil engineer
ing senior and an AGT group member.

“ACT and PRT systems can both solve
the problems. but they solve them in almost
completely opposite ways." Homback said.

No PRT systems exist. but cities in Japan
have embraced the ACT system.

LexTran has a similar goal of creating a
more unified Lexington. but has started work-
ing on a different approach: trolleys.

Trackless trolleys were introduced to Lex—
ington in l982 but eliminated by LexTran in
late 1997 because of the cost. said Dave Rig«
gins. LexTran‘s director of community affairs.
However. prompted by recent public interest.
LexTran is hosting a series of public meetings
to discuss bringing it back.

"Trolleys are a sentimental thing." Rig—
gins said. "A lot of people really loved them
and there‘s a lot of interest In bringing back
the trolleys."

chTran is investigating the feasibility of
the project and is taking public input back to
the newly established Downtown Circulator
Steering Committee. composed of representa-
tives from the Lexington Chamber of Com-
merce. UK. Transylvania University and pri—
vate developers. The system would run in the
downtown area.

“We're going to be Implementing smite
kind of downtown circulator. we just don't
know what that critter Is going to look like
yet." Riggins said.

Other cities. such as Louisville and
Boston. have trackless trolley systems in use.
But trolleys would not be as useful as the train
systems in solving congestion problems.
Horriback said.

“The trolley system would still haye prob-
lems because they deal with traffic and re—
quire a traffic lane." Hornback said.

Kendall Zaborowski. a civil engineering
senior and the PRT group leader. said he thinks
Lexington‘s population may not warrant the
size or cost of his class‘ proposed systems.

(‘ost and efficiency are primary concems
III any mass-transit situation. Riggins said,

"There are a lot of great ideas out there.
but they ‘rc not always cost effecti\c." he said.

Crawford comes off the bench

to ignite Cats to first win

_By Travis fluidron
Maldron®kykernefcom

 

Joe Crawford sat on the
bench without as much as a
glance from head coach Billy
Gillispie for the first 13 minutes
of last night‘s game.

But when Crawford finally
checked in, the senior guard put
the Cats on his back. leading
UK to a 67th) win over Central
Arkansas in front of 20,355 fans
at Rupp Arena.

Crawford made seven of his
1 1 shots to score a game-high 20
points in just l8 minutes of play.

The win advanced the Cats
(1-0) into the second round of
the 2K Sports College Hoops
Classic benefiting Coaches vs.
Cancer. UK will face Gardner-
Webb, which defeated Alabama
A&M yesterday. tonight at 9 at
Rupp Arena.

Sophomore forward Mark
Coury scored 10 of the Cats‘
first 12 points as UK built an
early lead. but eight first-half
tumovers kept Central Arkansas
(0—1) in the game. Coury'. mak—
ing his first career start. finished
with a career—high 13 points and
10 rebounds.

Freshman forward Patrick
Patterson was in foul trouble
early. picking up two fouls in
the first four minutes of the first
half. Without Patterson. Gillispie
had to look to his bench early in
the game.

Though Gillispie had al—
ready sent junior center Jared
Carter. freshman center
Morakinyo Williams and fresh»
man guard Kerry Benson into
the game —~ a trio that totaled
just one minute of play in two
exhibition games — Crawford
was conspicuously absent.

Crawford said it was not
easy for him to watch the first
13 minutes of the game.

“I feel like I should be out
there. but I still haye to work
hard.” he said. "I‘m kind of be-
hind those guys. and they ‘y'c
been proving themselves eyery
day in practice."

(lillispic went to a motto he
has tised all season when asked
why it took so long to get Crayw
ford into the game.

"Whoeycr earns it gets it."
Gillispie said of playing time.

“Joe‘s a good player." he
said. "But he‘s got to learn that
we're going to play conipetitiyu
ly' on defense. The best players
look around and say. ‘This is re-
ally what my team needs me to
do.~ I think he‘ll do that in time."

But with the Cats nursing an
lK-ll lead with seycri minutes
to go in the first half. the senior
checked in. Crawford sparked
w hat had been a nearly dormant
offense. scoring nine points in
just si.\ minutes to help the Cats
to a 3-13“ lead at halftime.
