UK began a series of radio ads yester-
day to illustrate its commitment to diversi-
ty and the numerous opportunities avail-
able to students who choose to come here.

The ads will run on WBTF-107.9 FM in
Lexington and on WGZB-96.5 FM and
WMJM-101.3 FM in Louisville through
Dec. 11 and again Jan. 2 through Jan. 22.

President Lee Todd is paying for the
ads out of his reserve funds. The total cost
is about $40,000. The campaign will feature

Kenyan tells story of Africa with art

By Ashley Costas
THE KENTUCKY mm

Since arriving on UK’s cam-
pus in August. Peterson
Kamwathi hasn’t had time to
miss home.

He’s been too busy creating
prints, woodcuts and monotypes
as part of UK‘s Kenyan Artist-
in-Residence program funded
by the Ruth Hunt Wood Founda-
tion. The foundation has been
bringing artists to UK since
2000

Kamwathi, from Nairobi.
said he hopes his art reflects his
experiences at UK and issues in
his homeland.

“By using symbols and im-
agery, I am able to communicate
my beliefs to a Kentucky audi-
ence that gives them a better un-
derstanding of current events
in my country." he said in a
press release. "Other pieces pay
respect to my visit here."

Kamwathi's art is on display
at the Tuska Gallery for Con-
temporary Art in the Fine Arts
building. The 20 pieces will be
exhibited through Saturday

For Kamwathi, art is much
more than the pieces you create,
it’s about having a passion for
what you do.

“I like actually touching the
painting, it‘s kind of magical."
he said with a smile.

As of now Kamwathi is very
involved with the print medium,

which consists of layers, but his
other pieces in the exhibit range
from woodcuts to monotypes.

“You feel like this is it. I‘m
set for life," he said referring to
print being the medium he is
most involved with now. “But
then just as I settle into one.
something else will catch my
fancy."

Kamwathi said what in-
trigues him the most is watch-
ing a piece unfold.

“I like the process side of
things," he said. “I like watch-
ing it all come together.“

Kamwathi said now that the
weather is getting colder he is
beginning to miss Nairobi. but
reiterated that he has enjoyed
his time here.

“Kentucky is quiet, but the
Reynolds building is one of the
busiest places I‘ve been." he
said. “But Kentucky is cool and
relaxed."

“Its scary being away from
home for so long."

Though he is a long way
from home he has had opportu-
nities to keep him busy. Not
only has he been working on his
exhibit. he has also been busy
giving lectures and presenta-
tions around the area as well.

He has given slide presenta-
tions at Somerset Community
College and lectured on his
work in nearby London. Ky

In addition to his exhibit at
the ’I‘uska Gallery, Kamwathi
has had his pieces displayed

He’s had exhibits in England
and national exhibits in his na-
tive Kenya numerous times. The
artist‘s work was also published
in MSANII, a magazine for arts
from Kenya's Rahimtulla Muse
um of Modern Art.

“I think my experience here
will be reflected in later work. I
think the whole experience will
sink in as time goes on."

‘Freedom
Calls’ offer

reunions

Teleconferences connect families
with soldiers stationed in Iraq

By Shannon Mason
IHE KEMIUCKY KERNEL

FRANKFORT — David and April Fields had
not seen their son since September, but that
changed yesterday when they got to see and talk to
him via a Freedom Call in Kentucky's capitol.

Sgt. Joshua Fields, a Lexington native, has
been stationed in Iraq since January, with the ex-
ception of a brief visit home in September. He
was delighted to be able to see his parents.

“It’s a great experience,” he said. “I didn’t
know how easy it would be. If I had known it was
this easy I would have tried to do it sooner. It sure
is good to see them.”

His mother said he will head home about a
week after Christmas.

The Fields’ Freedom Call took place shortly af-
ter Gov. Ernie Fletcher announced the “Freedom
Calls from Rupp Arena” event scheduled to take
place on Dec. 17 at the UK-Louisville basketball
game.

“While we enjoy the holiday season and this
great basketball rivalry, we can’t forget that the
loved ones of many Kentuckians are away fighting
for freedom," Fletcher said. Th“is event will allow
us to honor and thank our soldiers for their ser-
vice and bravery.”

The national CBS feed of the game will be
broadcast on the Armed Forces Network. In turn,
videoconference signals from Camp Fallujah,
Camp Taji and A1 Asad Air Base in Iraq will be
transmitted into Rupp Arena’s audiovisual sys-
tem.

Not only will fans be able to see and hear the
troops in Iraq, three private videoconference
rooms will also be available for the families and
soldiers to spend some time together. The first
Freedom Calls will start around noon.

This is the second year of the event, which
took place at Freedom Hall in Louisville for last
year’s game between UK and U of L.

Fletcher said he enjoyed being a part of the

Poverty center
gains $1.48 million
for research

The UK Center for Poverty Research
will use funds to study relief programs

By Tyler Hampton
rim

The UK Center for Poverty Research has re-
ceived a $1.48 million grant from the US. Depart-
ment of Health and Human Services to research
the effectiveness of poverty relief programs.

UK acquired the grant afier winning a compe-
tition of written proposals by degree-granting
universities with graduate programs. Other na-
tional research centers at the Universities of
Michigan, Wisconsin-Madison and Washington-
Seattle also competed.

“The grant will go to support graduate stu-
dent, faculty and academic research," said James
Ziliak, a professor in the Gatton College of Busi-
ness and Economics and director of the UKCPR.

With this new research money, the UKCPR
plans to show how poverty is increasing through-
out the Kentucky and the southern region of the
United States. comprised of 16 states from Florida
to Texas.

The UKCPR is not a homeless shelter or a food
service center: they offer no direct services. The
center receives data collected by other govern-
ment researchers. and then analyzes that data to
see how the economy affects a citizen's chances of
being in poverty. the impact of welfare while in
poverty, poverty status and health insurance, Zili-
ak said.

According to a 2003 national census of poverty
status conducted by the US. Bureau of Economic
Analysis. Kentucky is the ninth poorest state in
the nation, with 14.4 percent of the total popula-
tion being impoverished, compared to the nation-
al average of 12.5 percent. Kentucky ranked just
above other southern states such as Louisiana at
17 percent. Mississippi at 16 percent and
Arkansas at 17.8 percent.

“The research is done to understand the
cause and consequences of poverty in the Com-
monwealth and the southern U.S., the importance
of education on economic progress and how to de-

Homemade chili offers a warm alternative to take-out

By Elizabeth Troutman
mutt rooo cowmiisr ‘

There is an eerie sense of con-
fusion amidst the crowd of mid-
night shoppers at the Kroger on
Euclid Avenue. They pace
through the aisles like warped
zombies carrying shopping bas-
kets cluttered with Little Debbie's
and Ramen noodles. They stare
mindlessly at the shelves of cere—
als contemplating whether to pur-
chase the Kroger generic Fruity
Pebbles, or the real deal for a
dime more.

Midnight grocery shopping is
one of my favorite weeknight pas-
times. Not because it‘s fun to
watch the smitten couples hold
hands as they search for a roman-
tic meal idea. And not because it
never fails that I run into at least
one person I know and end up
chatting about nothing for five
minutes — five minutes that
could be devoted to serious gro-
cery shopping.

“Krogering” is enjoyable be
cause successful grocery shop—
ping, much like shoe shopping, re
quires a considerable amount of
thought and planning, as well as
creativity. But when you are in
college, venturing into the realm
of cooking takes the backburner
to studying for exams and writing

essays, not to mention a social
life.

Hence, I had an epiphany in
the middle of the produce section:
a devotion to cooking a meal. at
least once a week, for the room-
mates, for neighbors, or for any-
one who is hungry. This approach
incorporates 'social activity, relax
ation and a break from any study-
ing taking place.

According to the National
Center for Health Statistics, 90
percent of the food Americans
purchase is processed food. Some
64 percent of Americans are over-
weight and 30 percent are clinical

ly obese. The average weight of

an American male jumped from
168 pounds in the early 19605 to
180 pounds today This obesity
epidemic is connected to the in
crease in fast food consumption
in an increasingly rapid-paced
world.

Homemade meals smell good
in the kitchen, are often fun to
put together and are healthier
than most fast food meals. It is re»
warding to make a successful
meal, knowing each ingredient
that goes in is fresh. But the best
part is sharing your creation with
others.

I start with a relatively simple
and familiar concept: chili night.

 

A pot of steaming. hearty, stor~
able and ~ ~ if made correctly #-
tasty brew that pairs with such
items as spaghetti. hog dogs and
french fries. Chili comes in a vari-
ety of forms and flavors. which
make it appeal to many different
tastes and diets. White bean chili.
chicken chili. traditional chili
with ground beef and vegetarian
chili are some of the varieties
that are easy to make and require
a single pot.

Traditional chili is dependent
upon the essential spices. To ease
the stress of cooking. a shortcut
to buying each and every spice in»
corporated in chili (chili powder,
onion powder. coriander and 0th
er somewhat pricey spices) is pur-
chasing packets of chili spice
available at any grocery store.
(‘hili includes inexpensive
canned tomatoes and incorpo-
rates fresh vegetables including
peppers and onions.

The process of making any
type of chili consists of two easy
steps: cooking the meat (if your
chili includes meat) and letting
the ingredients simmer. There's
no complicated or timely sifting,
stirring or frying. Chili is a
friendly. independent meal that
can take off on its own after it is
started. It is also a patient dish

that can simmer for an extended

Traditional ground beef or

in plastic bags or Tupperware.
You can thaw the chill out in the

extended meals throughout the

‘Harry Potter’ won’t be remembered as a classic

By Daniel Kelley
THE KENTUCKY KERNEL

When the title cards come on the screen
during the new “Harry Potter" film, audi
ences will applaud.

It is hard to imagine these books losing
any popularity, and so it is hard to imagine
the movies doing the same.

But without some improvement, they
will never be classics.

“The Sorcerer’s Stone,” “The Chamber
of Secrets” and “The Prisoner of Azka-
ban” were all very entertaining movies,
but very little else. Nothing in any of the
movies was especially powerful or moving.

Such is the case with the newest addi-
tion to the series “Harry Potter and the
Goblet of Fire." The latest film follows Har-
ry (Daniel Radcliffe) through his fourth
year at Hogwart’s School of Witchcraft and
Wizardry, during which he is unexpectedly
chosen as a competitor in the upcoming
Tri-Wizard Tournament. Harry, at only 14
years of age, is well below the 17-year age
limit, but the Ministry of Magic's laws say
that whoever the goblet of fire selects must
compete, so Harry is forced into action
against his will.

Now, subtlety has never been Harry Pot-
ter’s strong suit. This is true for both the
character and the movies in general. The
characters tell us how we’re supposed to
feel and what we‘re supposed to think
about each scene, without letting us decide
anything for ourselves. But at this point,
the extreme obviousness leaves us enter-
tained in the same way that “Looney
Tunes" entertains us: it’s fun, but we never
have to think.

Right away, we know that director Mike
Newell wants us to realize that this movie
is not the live-action cartoon that the first
two films were; it is closer to the darker,
more chilling third movie. “The Goblet of
Fire” opens with a snake slithering out of
a skull and up to the title card. Chilling,
yes, but manipulative more than anything.

It may as well have opened with a giant
“BOO!”

The entire movie proceeds this way.
When it’s happy, it‘s light. When it's sad,
it’s dark. Nothing is ambiguous; nothing is
left to interpretation.

The movie series is slowly crumbling
under its own weight; when there was only
one relatively short book, it wasn‘t so diffi-
cult to establish the characters and keep us
interested in them and the story as a
whole. By this, the fourth book, enough
characters and actions have been intro-
duced — 734 pages w that it is nearly im-
possible to fit enough in.

In this latest movie, it feels like several
characters, including Hermione (Emma
Watson), Professor Snape (Alan Rickman)
and Hagrid (Robbie Coltrane), have been
pushed aside in favor of newer characters.
This doesn’t necessarily have to be a bad
thing, but when those new characters are
hardly developed, the end result is a movie
that feels, even at two and a half hours.
that it isn't long enough to accommodate
its ambitions.

To be fair, the movie wasn‘t all bad, or
even half bad, Really It was fun and enjoy-

on around him. Harry still has time to look
for a date, lamenting about the girls at Hog
wart's, “Why do they always travel in
packs? How are you supposed to get a date
alone?" This is the concern of every
teenager 7 no matter if they are studying
Spanish or Defense against the Dark Arts.

Rowling. Newell and everyone involved
with the books and movies have certainly
created an exciting world. but the fact is
that it's not very hard to create an exciting
world these days. What they need to do
now is make that world mean something.
A fun movie . and book is fine; if that's
all you want. But this series could be so
much more.

Student safety should
never have to take a back-
seat to UK‘s other priorities
~ even to the inexpensive-
ness and convenience of a
15-passenger van.

Nine of UK‘s 19 bench-
mark universities no longer
use or are phasing out 15-
seat passenger vans be-
cause of safety concerns.
The Kernel reported last
week. Of the 10 benchmarks
that use them. eight require
training for all drivers.

UK still uses these vans
— which have a 22 percent
rollover rate in single-vehi-
cle crashes. according to a
2004 National Highway
Transportation Safety Ad-
ministration study » and
training is only required
for drivers from the univer-

sity‘s College of Agricul-
ture.

“We've issued more ad-
visories on lS-passenger
vans than any other issue
I've ever seen." said Rae
Tyson, chief spokesman for
the NHTSA. in an interview
with The Kernel.

With nearly half of our
benchmarks shying away
from these vans because of
repeated warnings from the
NHTSA and looking for
safer alternatives. UK
should take note and imple—
ment the same changes.

The university has al-
ready taken an admirable
step in the right direction
by putting a complete halt
on purchasing 15-passenger
vans.

“The issue now is deal-

Put 15-passenger vans in the garage for good

stead of switching over af-
