October 25, 2000

An idea that was sent in
via e-mail was to give
ideas for what to do
with the Kernel when
you are finished
reading it. Well,
besides cutting out
LOC and framing it,
here are some other
ideas you could use.

Fly far, far away.

Find a very high place on
campus like
Patterson Office
Tower or one of the
towers on South
Campus. After folding
the front page into a
lift creating device (a
paper airplane for
those not into the
whole theory of the
lift thing) find a way
to get to the roof or
an open window. This
is not supported by
the Kernel, those
afraid of heights or
people without an
inner ear for balance.

Toss out window and
watch. For added
enjoyment, put
confetti or gas in the
tail. For even greater
enjoyment, light the
gas (again. not
endorsed by the
Kernel, firefighters or
severe burn victims).

Papier maché

May require saving more
than one previously
used Kernel. Make a
frothy bath of flour
and water and other
stuff that goes into a
papier maché
mixture and dip
strips of paper into
it. Find something
really cool you would
like to make a model
of and go to it.
Suggestions include a
larger than life
toothbrush.
telephone or toilet. Is
it a gift? Make a life-
size model of your
significant other.
Even if it looks like
crap, remind them it
is the thought that
counts.

Spit balls

Find a straw at any on
campus eatery. Make
little bails out of
Kernel usrng finger
dexterity and spit.
Aim and shoot.
Targets may include
squirrels, birds,
teachers or windows.
Added fun, try to
write your name on
the window with
them.

Recycle it!

There are many places
on or around campus
where you can
recycle newspaper. I
WlSh I knew a joke
but I don't.

Education important in election

On the ballot: UK students give their opinions on the
importance of higher education in this year's election

Maser "t“.‘ﬂﬁl'
STAFF WRITER

Tax cuts. free tuition and cheaper stu-
dent loans. These could all be benefits of vot-
ittg in this year's election.

Of the three ntain candidates running
for president this year. each have different
opinions on what should be done about ris-
ing tuition costs.

Ralph Nader of tlte Green Party stated
that he believes college should be equally ac-
cessible to all young people with the qualiti-
cations.

lf Nader is elected he said he wants to
see free uition to all public universities artd

community colleges. Such a progrant is al-
ready established in the state of Georgia
where arty high school student with a 3.0
grade point average is awarded free tuition
to any state-funded school. Besides ntaking
college more affordable. Nader believes it
would inspire more students to work harder
and cut dovm on racial profiling and quotas.

“I think equal opportunity should mean
equal opportunity. We shouldn't discrimi-
nate against any race or gender and every-
one should have 3 equal chance of going to
college," said Brian Brownﬁeld a political
science sophomore who is leaning toward
Vice President Al Gore or Nader.

college tuition should be free. but rather tax-
deductible The Democratic candidate be-
lieves that each middleclass family should
get up to 810.000 of college tuition tax-de-
ductible.

Along with this policy. if elected. the
Vice President would like to see more HOPE
Scholarships awarded and increase the
number of annual Pell Grants, The Vice
President would also like to lower the inter
est rates on student loans and have more
programs to make receiving the loans
easier.

Gore hopes that by making ttution tax
deductible it would allow more middle class
families to afford college and believes his
proposed middleclass tax cut would help
make college more accessible to a large
number of people.

UK student dies in
single vehicle crash

By Amanda York
Ell—ITOR m cum

It didn‘t take long to get to
know Donovan Brown. His
easy-going ways and laid back
personality made him feel like
a friend in a matter of minutes.

"He was the kind of guy
that if you knew him for 10
minutes you knew him better
than some people you knew for
months." said Brian Straub, a
UK graduate and Phi Kappa Psi
alumnus.

Straub said he met Brown
when he joined the Phi Kappa
Psi fraternity. Brown was a
year ahead of him, he said.

Brown. 23. died in a single
vehicle accident Sunday morn
ing in Spencer County. The ac-
cident happened at about 12:30
am. when Brown's westbound
Chevrolet S-10 pick-up truck
ran off the right shoulder of KY
48 in Spencer County. Ken~
tucky State Police said Brown
overcorrected. crossed both
lanes. ran off the left side of the
roadway and struck a tree. Po-
lice said Brown was not wear-
ing a seatbelt.

He was taken to University
Hospital in Louisville where he
died at 6 am.

Brown was a natural re-
source and conservation man.
agenient senior and a member
of the Phi Kappa Psi fratemity.

Straub said members of the

fraternity affectionately re-
ferred to Brown as “DooDoo.”

“Just because his last
name was Brown." Straub said.

Straub also said Brown
was known throughout the fra~
ternity for his country ways.
Brown was from Nelson Coun-
ty. and Straub said he would of.
ten bring back special treats
when he would go visit his
hometown.

“When I was a pledge he
would go home and visit his
relatives and come back with
deer jerkey and moonshine."
Straub said.

Brown was a member of
Bloomﬁeld Baptist Church in
Bloomﬁeld. Ky, and a 1995
graduate of Nelson County
High School.

He is survived by his par-
ents. Donnie and Donna Kay
Brown of Bloomﬁeld: a sister.
Donna Joe Brown of Rich
mond: maternal grandparents.

Bloomﬁeld: and paternal grand-
parents. Mr. and Mrs. Gene

The program is located in
Paducah because the area is

Using food to bring
nationalities together

Taste this: Lexington church to host a
celebration of diversity, social acceptance

By Travis Hubbard

ASSISTANT SPORTSDAILV EDITOR

It is often easy to see that
Lexington is a diverse city and
one local church wants to use
food to embrace all ethnic
groups and nationalities in the
city.

Trinity Baptist Church In-
ternational Ministries plans to
host a “Taste of the World" celr
ebration of diversity later this
month. The church hopes di-
versity awareness and social
acceptance can be achieved
through a fellowship dinner
and informational booths.

The church will provide
an assortment of ethnic foods
and booths from several coun-
tries in their fellowship hall.

Donna Vande Kieft, an in
tern for Trinity Baptist Min-
istries and head of the “'I‘astt
of the World" celel‘iration. said
the program is much different
from what many churches do.

"Our emphasis is not to
evangelize." she said "But we
want people to come together
in global celebration," Vande
Kieft said evangelizing is an
important part of the church.

but the focus of “Taste of the
World" is social acceptance
and to learn about different
heritages.

Jay Robison. Pastor of

T r initv Baptist ( hurch echoed
V inde Kiet it s goals and said
his church was open to all peo-
ple who have no church home.

"If there are folks who are
not part of a congregation we
would like them to give Trini»
ty a try.“ Robison said.

Robison said the church is
one of the most culturally di—
verse congregations in Lexing—
ton and works to “affirm" peo-
ple from foreign nations into
the community and their con-
gregation.

“We want to reach out to
other international folks in-
cluding those at UK and others
in the community," said Robi-
son. "We are convinced God
cares about the whole world.
not just America."

Vallilt’ Kieft said the
church wants to emphasize
that each culture is important.
can be educational and that
language does not have to be a
barrier for cultures, She said
the event can help people open

up and understand those from
different backgrounds,

“We want to make every-
one from the Lexington area a
welcome part of the communi-
ty." she said. “Often we expect
people to adapt to our culture.
but we want to encourage em
bracing different heritages."

This is the second year the
church has held the celebra-
tion. Last year the event at-
tracted over 125 people. This
year. the church expects about
200 guests to attend. There is
no admission fee, but the
church will accept free will do-
nations.

“There was great food last
year and we hope it becomes a
tradition." said Robison.

Learnabouttheworld

"Taste of the World" will be
held from 11:30 am. until 2 pm on
Saturday. Oct. 28, with an interna-
tional worship service the following
day at it am. The services include
an international choir singing songs

in various languages. including
French, Spanish, Japanese and
English. Yoshiya Iogami, a
Japanese chaplin at Central Baptist
Hospital will deliver the message.
The church is located inside New
Circle Road off of Winchester Road

Film worth looking

Oscar possibility: Problems with the movie score and the logic
don't outshine great performances and a moving storyline

By Matt Mulcahoy
SCENE EDITOR

Intelligent moviegoers can spot a phony from
a mile away. Cinematic Holden (.‘auifield‘s can
easily snitf out when a movie tries to push their
emotional buttons. But when those emotions
come unsolicited, movies can really connect with
their audience and truly move people.

Pay It Forward is one such genuine film.

The story is about a troubled young boy and
his relationship with his teacher. But this is not
another Stand and Deliver or To Sir Ii'ith Lore.
Pay It Forward isn't just about the relationship
between young Trevor McKinney (Haley .loei ()s-
ment) and his social studies teacher Eugene Sir

monet (Kevin Spacey). it‘s about the power of

kindness to truly change the world

Trevor‘s mother is a recovering alcoholic
working two seedy jobs on the Las Vegas strip to
support her son. Her no-account husband (Jon
Bon Jovi in a small part) has left town again and
his return is far from imminent.

Simonet gives Trevor an assignment that
will forever change both of their lives. He tells
his students they must come up with sortie idea

that will change the world for the better. Most of

the students come up with the same old same old.
but not Trevor

Trevor comes up with the idea of “pay it for-
ward." He starts a web of goodness. like a chain
letter of selfless deeds. it starts with Trevor doing
three acts of kindness. The act has to be some-
thing big. something the person couldn‘t do for
himself. in return. that person must perfortn
three ntore acts of kindness and so on and so on
until the world is a better place.

Director Mimi Leder. whose most known ef-
forts are Deep Impact and The Peacemaker. does
an excellent job of steering the movie away from
oversentimentality. This script could've very -
easily been turned into a shallow. manipulative
movie. but Leder‘s sincerity of vision comes
through.

The cast is also excellent. Spacey and ilunt
both give dramatically emotional peril)rmances.
but Haley Joel ()sment is the film's center and
gives a performance even better than the over
rated raves he received for The Sixth Sense. l‘d
have to honestly say i have never seen a better
child actor titan this kid.

Pay it Forward does have a few problems.
The subplot. about a reporter (.iay .\iohr> track
ing the phenomenon from l.os Angeles. couid’ve
been better developed. and the last scene is a bit

so tiice'.’
