UK sends
helping
handsto
Ecuador

By Emily Hunklar
news@kykernel. corn

Ecuador is 2.600 miles from Lexington but
when it comes to medical needs of the poverty-
stricken country. distance is no barrier for UK pro-
fessors and students.

This past May a group of UK students. faculty
and health professionals traveled to Ecuador to
provide health care to as many of the country‘s im-
poverished citizens as possible.

The programs initiator is Dr. Thomas Young, a
professor of pediatrics in the UK College of Medi-
cine. The program has made trips to Ecuador for
the past live years.

“I have always had an interest in international
children‘s health and felt the need to serve in this
field. and as soon as l was in the position to do
this. I chose Ecuador." said Young. who has made
previous medical trips to Guatemala and Russia.
The trips worked off of relationships already estab-
lished by Kentucky-Ecuador Partners. a collabora-
tive effort between the country and state.

“Kentucky has had a long history of partnering
with Ecuador through the Kentucky-Ecuador Part-
ners and it made sense to build on this relationship.
The need of the people there is high: there are high
poverty rates and poor health care access." Young
said.

This year‘s team consisted of 24 members who
all shared Young‘s goals
concerning the people of
Ecuador.

While there they ad-
ministered a total of 400
anemia screenings and
l.()(l() applications of
dental fluoride. pro\ ided
malnutrition and diabetes
screening and handed out
hundreds of doses of
medications and vita—
mins.

“We had to reserve
the biggest suitcase. we
had to pack with vita-
mins. medicines and sup-
plies to take with us: we
all did." said Amanda
Wilburn. a public health
graduate student.

Wilburn volunteered in the Philippines as an
undergraduate but said Ecuador faces tougher
problems.

“Ecuador was yer) different from the Philip—
pines." she said. "Beyond the environment. the
economy and health conditions were much worse
in Ecuador."

Young reflected on the degree of malnutrition
and poverty. "A community survey showed that
more than St) percent of children there are mal—
nourished and less than 35 percent have had im-

THIS WEEK'S TOPIC:
Other than football

it's a wonderful weekend for sports.
Not only will the UK football team look to
win a huge game and go 3-2 in their bid
for bowl eligibility
on Saturday night,
but there will be
other big games
elsewhere on
campus that have
just as much llT‘r
penance for the
respective teams
and just as many
implications for
their seasons The
women's and
men's soccer
teams and the vol-
- ley ball team will
all look to get some key wins.

I

Women 3 Soccer

The women's soccer team will play at
home against Auburn (Friday) and Alaba-
ma (Sunday) and will look to rebound
from last weekend's 3-2, last second loss
to LSU in its conference opener

This game might as well be the first
homecoming event for UK, seeing how
the team has not played on home turf
since its H] win over Michigan on Sept
10. The Cats (5‘4-1, 0-1-0) will view both
games as vital to keeping their season
and any post—season tournament bids
alive. A loss (or two) at home could very
easily break the team‘s spirit.

I

Men 5 Soccer

The men's soccer team is hosting
South Carolina on Sunday in their Confer»
ence USA opening match. The Cats {72-
l) have just come off a heart—breaking )-
0 overtime loss to 14th ranked Indiana on
Wednesday, but don’t get thinking that
that game will be on their minds.

The 2006 fixture is a strong side that
knows its potential, but also knows it
hasn't quite reached it yet.

Earlier in the season they were
ranked as high as 14th in the nation, but
then fell out of the polls after another
overtime loss against Michigan ‘

There is still a lot of time left for the
Cats to make a strong imprint nationally,
especially in their conference play.

A win against the Gamecocks this
weekend would give the team some
much needed momentum as they head to
Dallas a week later to face off against
the country's top team, Southern
Methodist University A loss though,
would dampen their spirits in a way they
haven't yet seen this season.

Volleyball

it was a bitter sweet weekend for the
volleyball team as they won 3‘) against
Mississippi State and then fell 3~l to Ole
Miss.

The Cats (9-3, 2-2) host lOth ranked
Florida tonight at Memorial Coliseum, a
game that would help them make a state
ment in the SEC, where they have been
handed two of their three losses so far.

Sunday they will travel to Auburn
where they will face an equally daunting
opponent.

Their primary weapon against the
Gators will be junior Nicole Britenriker,
who leads the team in scoring and is sec-
ond in the conference in kills A wrn for
the Cats on Friday would give them some
much needed power as they motor deep»
er into the conference.

Parents and students to 'Come
Together’ for tribute concert

Keith Brooks

ieatures©kvkern§lcom

In the it) years that the Beatles were to—
gether. they became one of the most suc-
cessful. critically acclaimed bands of all

time. Possibly the most influential band of

the 20th century. The Beatles introduced the
world to bubblegum pop in their early years
and psychedelic rock in their later years.

Though the Beatles broke up more than
30 years ago. they are immortalized through
cover bands and tributes.

British Export. one of the world’s most
popular Beatles' tribute bands. will perform
tonight at Memorial Hall. giving UK its own
taste of Beatlemania. The band‘s appearance
is in conjunction with UK Family Weekend.
a series of events hosted by the Student Ac-
tivities Board for UK students and their rela—
tives.

SAB is hosting the concert in hopes of
appealing to a diverse group of music
lovers. Joshua Rupp. the director of concerts
for SAB. thinks this show will suit Family
Weekend because it attracts both the young
and old.

"You really couldn't find a better way to
bring parents and students together." Rupp
said.

British Export formed in 1996 in (‘hica-
go and has since played hundreds of venues
for thousands of fans.

The band has performed in South Korea.
at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleve-
land. at a White Sox game to celebrate the
40th anniversary of the Beatles performance
at Comiskey Park arid at the revered Cavem
Club iii Liverpool. lzngland. w here the orig-
inal Beatles played iii their early days.

British Export has played at Beatles»
tests in New York and (‘liicago and was vot-
ed the best Beatles tribute band three times
at these festivals. British Export duplicates
original Beatles' recordings while dressed
up as the Fab Four.

"We usually play songs front the most
recent album released and work our way
back." said .lini Martin. who plays the part

of Ringo in the band. "We‘ll probably have
two costume changes. and we'll wear the
standard black stiils that the Beatles wore on
(The) Ed Sullivan (Show) and the outfits
front Sgt. Pepper‘s (Lonely Hearts Club
Band albtiriti."

Aside from numerous festivals. the bartd
has also played at iiiarty colleges and univer—
sitics around the country.

"Playing at colleges is one of otir ta-
yorrtc tliittgs to do." Martin said. " (.‘ollege
kids seem to be our most enthusiastic audi—
crtce."

Although SAB has hosted bigvname
concerts before. liaviitg a band like this per~
forrii for l-‘amily Weekend is somewhat re—
rtiarkable. said Jenny (il'll‘isk‘ud the director
of public relations for SAB.

Rupp and (irinstead are confident L'ls'
students and families will enjoy the band

and reconnect with timeless Beatles‘ music.

"The Beatles had a way of experiment—
ing with the music they created to help it ap—
peal to not just teens of that era alone. but
also to people of all ages." said Rupp. "That
is why UK students will enjoy such a per-
formance."

British lixport will play at Memorial
Hall at 8 pm. tonight. Tickets are free for all
I'K students who present a valid II) and $3
for faculty. stall arid the general public.

Martin thinks that the concert will be a
great way for Beatlcs' fans to hear sortie of
their fa\orite music and to learn more about
the band.

“We pride ourselves in portraying a thor~
ough history of the Beatles." Martin said.
“l‘ve been a Beatles fan my w hole life. and
l hope that we can help the audience re~
member why the Beatles are so great."

Rap album disappoints; metal album rocks

 

Mastodon "Blood Mountain"

Heavy metal niUsic cart either be awesome or
downright awful. Metal bands ltave to define
themselves and not fall iitto the typical mold of

their genre.

Mastodon is definitely art example of an awe—
some metal hand. Then third album. “Blood
Mountain isn‘t over—produced. it isn‘t cheesy. it
isn‘t paint-bythe-numbers and it isn't boring.

Two parts sludge and one part progressive
rock. Mastodon plays its own \crsiori of metal.
and it's far froitt generic. That is what makes this
album stand out among other heavy itiusic today.

Ludacris has sortie grcat rap songs. The he‘s
got some terrible rap songs. His new album. “Rc-
lease Therapy is no different.

While there are a few standout tracks on “Re
lease Therapy there's also a lot of filler. lt seems
like Ludacris is rust kind of going tltrouglt the mo-
trons on this album rather than expanding or
evolving his music.

Maybe this is what he gets paid to do. and if
everyone still briys it then that‘s what he‘ll keep

Ludacris ”Release Therapy"

serving up.

In the world of mainstream rap. performers are
a dirtie a do/en. and most of them are heard and
forgotten iii about six itioiiths. Ludacris has con»
.slaiitly risen above the mediocre and produced a
solid catalogue of rap songs with the occasional
dud. but also the occasional gent.

“Release Therapy" is a little less super and a
little more ittediocre
