FarmHouse remembers crash victim from UK

By Chris Weis
news©kykernelcom

Members of FamrHouse Fraternity set up ta-
bles and chairs on the front lawn of their house
last night to host a cookout in honor of a fallen
fraternity brother.

Larry Turner. a UK administrator who was
killed in the crash of Comair Flight 5191 in Au-
gust. was an associate member of FarmHouse Fra-
temity.

"We felt something needed to be done to re-

member him by that also got the campus in—
volved." said Troy Stinson. the FannHouse mem-
ber in charge of the fundraiser.

The cookout raised more than $650 for the
UK College of Agriculture’s Dr. Larry W. Turner
Scholarship and Extension Development Fund.
Stinson said. About 130 people came out.

Turner originally joined FarmHouse at Purdue
University, where he studied agricultural engineer—
ing. Turner associated with the UK chapter of
FarmHouse when he came here to work on his
PhD.

Turner was the associate dean for extension in

the College of Agriculture and director of the Ken-
tucky Cooperative Extension Service.

Turner taught members of FarmHouse in the
College of Agriculture. Stinson said.

FarmHouse President Lee Johnson said Turner
was highly respected and will be missed in the
college.

“This is a very small part of what (Turner) re-
ally deserves," Johnson said. “Anything we can do
to recognize a great guy."

Stinson said the fundraiser gave him “a good
feeling.“

“It feels even better. seeing the turnout, seeing

how many people want to help out.” Stinson said.

Judy Cockrum, Kappa Alpha Theta house-
mother. said the fundraiser showed how much the
members of FarmHouse respect Turner.

Cockrum said she attended the fundraiser to
support FarmHouse.

“It's great anytime young men can come to-
gether as a group to do something good for the
community." Cockrum said.

More than $15,000 has been raised for the Dr.
Larry W. Turner Scholarship and Extension De-
velopment Fund. said Marci Hicks, director of de-
velopment in the College of Agriculture.

 

Employee

suspension,
investigation

By Megan Boehnke and Sean Rose
news@kykernel.com

 

Mark Renfro. director of UK Stores. resigned
yesterday after being suspended by UK in the wake
of an investigation on missing inventory from the
stores.

UK police received an anonymous tip on Sept.
22. prompting them to investigate the department.
acting Police Chief Joe Monroe told the Kernel on
Monday. UK police searched the homes of the
three employees last week looking for potential
missing inventory. but no arrests have been made in
the case. said UK spokesman Jay Blanton earlier
this week.

Along with Renfro. two other UK employees
were suspended without pay.

Renfro and Stefon Carter. assistant central inan-
ager. were suspended on Sept. 25. Stacy Crossley.
assistant auxiliary services director. was suspended
on Sept. 26.

Fred Peters. Renfro‘s attomey. would not corn-
ment on why Renfro resigned. calling it “a very
personal matter.”

More than these three individuals are being in-

vestigated by UK Police. Monroe said.
. "We‘re investigating the whole department —
not necessarily all the individuals. but looking at
the department as a whole Monroe said. “I can't
specify the number of people right now. because
we can't say how many people are involved."

Monroe added that all the suspects being inves-
tigated have been cooperative.

The UK Stores Departtnent streamlines pur~
chase orders for different university departments. It
places orders for the department — including
things such as computer hardware and software.
medical goods. office supplies. and other products
w and then bills the departments and delivers the
products to them.

UK Stores has an average daily inventory value
of about 3 l .8 million.

Many students enter The Study each day with
their UK le ready to scan. After selecting the sub—
ject they need help with. they weave through the
crowded room located in the basement of the WT.
Young Library.

But with only half of the audio—visual room to
work with. students and their peer tutors must
study while packed around small tables.

“I still don‘t think we have enough space." said
Stephanie Denison. a student math tutor for the
Academic Enhancement at The Study. “We added
more chairs. but we still have to climb over people
to help other students."

The Study is a tutoring resource center for all
students in all subjects. Since the Mathskeller end-
ed its math tutoring services this fall. The Study
has seen a drastic increase in the number of stu-
dents seeking help. especially in math.

On Sunday night. from 6 pm. until IO p.m..
I40 students came into The Study. Sixty were there
for help in math.

Bridgnorth. Collins has found himself on the
other side of the world. in a place he had never
heard of when he was younger. doing a job he
never had dreamed to do.

Collins grew up in a household where
sports were a true passion. He said his mother
would always kick him out of the house and
make him run around outside. There. he found
a love for the game of soccer v like most oth»
er English youths.

“I grew up playing the game." Collins said.
"I played pick-up. 3—on-3. kicked the ball
against the wall."

But unlike most of his peers. Collins didn‘t
grow out of soccer. As he kept playing. he kept
getting better and developed a passionate love
for the game.

He strived to become a professional player
and. at 16. Collins was able to achieve that

than any other races 4— by showing voters what
the Supreme Court does.

“I discuss the cases with them." Roach said.
“I actually distribute cases and discuss the issues
with the people. and we decide how the case
should be settled. I find that people are interested
once you involve them."

Both candidates spoke against judicial ac-
tivism — i.e.. basing judicial decisions on inter—
pretations of the constitution to cater to the
needs of the time —- but Noble acknowledged
that sometimes it is necessary.

“New things will come up in the law that
could in no way be predicted or addressed by the
framers. Do you think Thomas Jefferson thought
about the Internet and how privacy could be in—
vaded by using it? These are new issues that
have to be addressed through a form of judicial
activism." Noble said.

The character of Violetta. perfonned by gradu—

"The character is so vulnerable," Diltz said.
“You can't just sing. but you have to give much
more to the story and performance. You have to

Doing the show has been stressful. Clarke

When the Parlour Boys found out they had
won MySpace and Verizon Wireless~ “Calling All
Bands" contest last March. they mistakenly
thought they had won a chance to be on a reality
television show.

After finding out about the win. lead singer
Moody Elbarasi came running down the stairs of
the band‘s house. screaming. “Hey. everyone!
We‘re going to be on a reality TV show?"

“Dude! Where are we mming to?" said gui-
tarist Willie Forreal. "Is the house clean""

The Parlour Boys soon realized that they
would not become reality TV stars. but they have
since produced a music video. released Verizon
Wireless ringtones. had a write—up in The Wash-
ington Post and in Billboard Magazine. been on
front page rotation on MySpace.com and been in~
vitcd to the CMJ Music Festival in New York.

The Parlour Boys. who are based in [citing
ton and have been together for about a year and a
half. didn't realize the magnitude of what they
had just won.

“At first we thought it was kind of funny."
said drummer John Buckman. “The people at
MySpace called us. though. and told us how big
of a deal it really was."

Early this year. Forreal entered the Parlour
Boys in the contest on a whim.

“l was sitting at work one day. messing
around on MySpace. and I decided it would be a
good idea." Forreal said. “I probably zoned out
and sent them our e-mail like 40 times."

Forreal‘s whim paid off. The band was one of
over 5,000 nominated for the award. MySpace
administrators chose the 15 best bands and then
left the voting up to the Web site‘s users.

By the end. the Parlour Boys were one of five
remaining bands. and Verizon chose it as the final
winner.

“There‘s no telling what they went through to
pick us." Buckman said.

burgh. After playing varioUs

conference in the country.

The CM] Music Marathon is
an annual festival of music held
in New York from Oct. 3i to
Nov. 4. CM] tags itself as five
days of music with 50 venues
and over 1.000 bands.

BecaUse of the size of the

opportunity to gain more nation—

showcase for people in New

“People don‘t usually come to
Lexington to see us; we have to
go to them.”

Even though it takes time
and money to go to New York to
participate in the concert festi»
val. the band thinks it‘s well
worth it and will eventually pay
off.

Upcoming shows

ington, 6 pm, all ages

"We still have to find gas
money. but at CM] we can be a
part of a sanctioned show,“
Buekman said. "People can buy
tickets and come see us.“

“The way we see it is. if we
can’t get ourselves there (to
New York). then we aren‘t seri—
ous musicians." Forreal said. "If
we can't wake up early one
moming and drive from Lexing—
ton. we‘re not worth it anyway."

In preparation for the CM]
festival and the national recogni-
tion the Parlour Boys hope to
gain. the band is working hard
to write new music that will ap-
peal to record labels and fans.

"We‘re just writing right
now so we have some good stuff
if a label decides to pick us up."
Buckman said.

"We‘re not just writing to be
writing.“ Forreal said. "We
know that we have to love what
we‘ll be playing."
