Clinton campaigns for Kentucky Democrat

Rosalind Essie
ressrq y erne .com

Sen. Hillary Clinton
stopped in Lexington Satur-
day to ask Democrats to rally
behind Senate candidate
Bruce Lunsford in the race
against his Republican oppo-
nent.

Clinton (D- New York)
addressed an estimated 1,100
people at the Kentucky Horse
Park after a visit to Pikeville
earlier in the day. according
to Cary Stemle. a Lunsford
campaign spokesman.

The event was meant to
get Democrats enthused for
the election and to motivate
people to replace four-term
Republican incumbent Mitch
McConnell. Stemle said.

Clinton encouraged the
crowd to help change Ken-
tucky by supporting Lunsford.

“In our democracy, you
can just sit and yell at the TV
set or you can decide to be

involved." Clinton said.

Clinton was an important
force at the rally because she
is a powerful speaker and has
experience working with Me-
Connell in the Senate. where
McConnell is currently the
Senate minority leader, Stem-
le said.

"We‘re trying to get peo-
ple really excited." Stemle
said.

Clinton urged Democrats
to support Bruce Lunsford
and Democratic presidential
contender Barack Obama to
make it possible for the
change Democrats would like
to see.

"As a senator it‘s really
important that we have.
enough Democrats in the Sen-
ate to be able to get something
done," Clinton said. “It‘s been
frustrating to be on the other
side of the aisle and basically
see progress die because we
can't get our friends to come
along and do what needs to be

Clinton thanked Ken-
tucky for its support in the
Democratic primary. She

won the state with 65.5 per-
cent of the vote. about 35
percentage points ahead of
Obama. according to the

Kentucky State Board of
Elections Web site.

Clinton also mentioned
her program “Hillary Sent
Me." which is intended to en-
courage her supporters to vol-
unteer for other Democrat
campaign organizations.

Also speaking at the
event were state Rep. Kathy
Stein (D-Lexington). Lexing-
ton Vice-Mayor Jim Gray.
and Governor Steve Beshear.
among others.

Lunsford took to the podi-
um after Clinton and said the
country needs to replace Mc—
Connell and the current ad-
ministration. and that the US.
should not leave today’s prob-
lems for future generations.

“(My children and grand—
children) are an example of
why I'm in this race."
Lunsford said.

Lunsford won the Demo-
cratic nomination with 51.1
percent of the vote. ahead of
six other candidates. accord-

“I'm not a homeowner.

Shari Baker of Louisville
was at the rally because she
was visiting the Kentucky

Though they hadn't planned
on attending. Baker said her
grandchildren were excited to
get Clinton's autograph.

their day." Baker said.

'- Design students exhibit work in new studio

By Katie Porkowski
newsakykernel com

For the first time. interior de-
sign students have an exhibition
center to display their work on
UK‘s campus.

UK‘s School of Interior Design
celebrated the grand opening of its
exhibition center in room 103 of
Funkhouser Building on Friday
morning. The Peace Gallery con-
sists of pieces designed by second.
third« and fourth—year interior de-
sign students.

The gallery is named after Bill
Peace. an alumnus who donated a
majority of the money needed to
.fund the center. Although Peace

donated the money to build the
gallery l0 years ago. administra-
tive changes prevented them from
starting on the project immediately.
said Joe Rey‘Barreau. a professor
in the School of Interior Design.

Rey-Barreau. who oversaw the
project. started work in January
with l2 fourth-year interior design
students. He says the goal of the
project was to create a vertical de-
sign studio: a conference room. a
gallery. and a studio.

To make the studio. the team
had to knock out the wall between
a conference room and lecture
room using sledgehammers. Rey"
Barreau said.

About 80 percent of the project

mummwmam

was completed last semester and
more was completed during the

summer. he said. Right
now. the Peace Gallery
is 98 percent complete.

To begin the proj-
ect. the School of Inte-
itor Design had to get
approval from the uni-~
versity and do fundrais~
ing to complete the
gallery.

The design team
also had to come up
with different propos-
als for the gallery‘s de‘
sign and get design
faculty approvals.
Rey—Bamau said.

"I think the room
is very nice and
very functional. It's
a good place to
exhibit student
work."

The design team has to figure
out what works best for the
gallery for lighting
and paint. said
fourth—year design
student Jonathan
Fox. The learn also
has to install more
display systems.

The Peace Gallery
will be beneficial to
students. said Sarah

Late goal lifts Cool Cats to victory

By 3W Jones
sports y 9MB .com

UK Hockey earned its
first win of the season in style
on Saturday. fighting back to
a 4~3 victory over the Central
Michigan Chippewas.

The Cats jumped out to a
2-0 lead in the first period.
but fell behind 3-2 early in
the third. A dramatic rally,
capped by sophomore Sean
Wormald‘s game-winning
goal with 13 seconds remain
ing punctuated the 4—3 victo~
ry. the first of the year for the
Cats. The win split the Week~
end series after the Cats
dropped Friday 's opener 12~
8.

Assistant Captain Chris
Protenic started the night off
with a power play goal seven
minutes into the game.
Wormald added a second
goal of the period two min-
utes later.

The Cats were unable to
capitalize on several power
play opportunities in the sec—
ond period, and Central
Michigan scored their first
goal of the night with less
than one minute remaining to
close the gap to 2-1.

Defensive breakdowns
early in the third led the Cats
to fall behind 3—2. Both of

Central Michigan’s third peri-~

od goals came within the first
twa minutes of the final periA
0d, quieting what had been a
raucous crowd.

But a shorthanded goal
for the Cats by defenseman
Alex Robinson evened it up

The Cool Cats battled their way to a 4-3 victory over Central Michigan on Saturday at the Lexington Ice
Center. UK was able to bounce back after dropping Friday's season opener 12-8 to the Chippewas

the final period of play. After
the Cats failed to capitalize
on a pair of late power play
opportunities. the game
seemed to be heading toward
overtime.

But Wormald made sttre
that didn't happen. netting the
game-winner with only sec-
onds to spare.

“I just got a great pass.
saw 13 seconds left and put it
in the net." Wonnald said.

In a desperation move.
Central Michigan pulled the
goalie after Wormald‘s go
ahead goal. but time expired
as both teams tried to dig the
puck out from the boards im-
mediately following the face—
off.

Several members of the
Cool Cats said the win was
especially important in the
wake of Friday's loss. With a
roster featuring nine fresh-
men and only two seniors.
sophomore goalie Jim Bor-
gaard described Saturday's
game as "a key win."

“We really felt like we
needed to redeem ourselves."
he said.

Team Captain Andrew
Serres said that several of the
team‘s newfaces and other
younger players made an im—
pression.

“Obviously Wormald's
goal was huge. and a lot of
our good rookies stepped up
as well." Serres said.

Physical play accented
the night. causing the referees
to separate UK players from
their CMU counterparts til--
most a half dozen times. Ser—
res said that while play might
have gotten a little out of
hand. new rule changes that
created some confusion may
have caused some of the
physicality seen throughout
the weekend series.

Several team members
credited Saturday‘s win to
better defense and stronger
goaltending. though they cau—
tioned that the learn still has
room for improvement.

“We get an early lead.
and then we slow down."
Scrr'es said.

The UK women‘s soccer team

ers finding the back of the net.

“Our focus today was to play half by
half." said UK head coach Warren Lip—
ka. “We put together a complete 90 min
utes. We created opportunities and we
converted on those opportunities. It was
a good way to end the non—conference
schedule and now we just need to rest up
for the start of SEC play next weekend."

The Cats struck early on the Vikings
(4-5-0) as junior Katie Fahey scored in
the third minute. putting the ball in the
lower right corner of the net.

play to boost our confidence before con
ference play starts on Friday."

Senior Nicola Holdsworth tacked on
a second goal in the first half for the
Cats in the ninth minute. Holdswoth
capitalized off a Kelly Miller pass. al-

utes into the second half after junior
Ashley Stack placed a centering pass to
Novikoff five-yards in front of the
Vikings goal. Novikoff was able to settle
the ball and fire a shot inside the left
post to push the Cats lead to 3-0.

"I felt great about the goal."
Novikoff said. “We had four goals by
four different people today and hopeful-
ly we car. keep this going into SEC play.
Our defenders had a great game today
too. Sometimes they‘re shaky but they
played perfect today with the shutout."

The Cats dominated the game in all
aspects of the match. out—shooting the
Vikings 24—4 and gaining cight corners
compared to none for Cleveland State. It
was the second shutout of the year for
the Cats.

Sophomore (iiuleana Lope/ capped

Coal-to-liqui
fuel is really
not so 'green'

UK President Lee Todd‘s comments about "green" coal»to—
liquid fuel in a Kernel editorial board Q & A last week reflect~
ed his and the administration‘s ignorance of this type of fuel
and lack of know ledge regarding proper sustainability efforts
for this university '

Many consider coal-to—liquid fuel to be one of the dirtiest
forms of energy because of its carbon footprint and because of
the environmental hazards of coal mining.

The Rand Corporation. an objective research firm. created
a report on this issue entitled. “Policy Issues for Coal—to—Liq~
uid Development." It states that if carbon sequestration tech—
nologies are not used during the coal—to-liquid process. after all
steps in the process are considered. liquid coal emits twice the
carbon that gasoline does.

Although most people discuss the “energy problem" as
though it were a single issue. America's problems with nonsre—
newable energy sources are three-fold:

I For economic and national security reasons. we need to
eliminate our dependence on foreign oil.

I In order to protect the environment. we need to signifi—
cantly reduce the amount of carbon emitted into the atmoso
phere during the extraction. production and burning of fossil
fuels.

I Nonrenewable energy sources are finite and will eventu—
ally be eliminated. leaving us with a useless energy infrastruc—
true.

In coal—producing states. there is a fourth major problem:
mountain-top removal strip-mining is extremely devastating to
the landscape. It flattens mountains. ruins natural habitats for
plants and wildlife. pollutes streams and leaves the land sterile.

.lust because a proposed energy source helps alleviate one
of these four problems does not mean it is a “wonder cure" for
America's energy crisis. According to Rand's report. President
Todd‘s comment that CttllI'IO-Ilqllltl fuel will help reduce car-
bon emissions is incorrect.

Its one benefit is that it could somewhat reduce our de—
pendence on foreign OII. But. because of the high volume of
carbon emitted by its production facilities. the number of ener-
gy plants we could safely operate would be limited. and could
not. therefore. completely sever our dependence

Those in coalreconorny states (like Kentucky) who support
coal~to—liqirid fuel development argue that the 23 percent in-
crease in mining required to meet the process's needs will cre-
ate jobs and bring money into the state. However. with moun-
Iain-top removal. the increase in jobs would not be enough to
compensate for the environmental destruction. According to
the Energy Information Association ipart of the US. Depart—
ment of Energy) between 1986 and 1997 the coal industry in»
creased the amount of coal it extracted. while it decreased em—
ployment by about 47 percent.

In 2007. Peabody Energy hired Richard (iephardt to help
garner support in Washington. l).(‘ for coal—to-liquid fuel.
This. of course. represents a conflict of interest. The coal in
dustry rand by extension. Peabody) stands to make an astro—
nomical amount of money by earning governmental support of
a process like L‘vtttlilti-Iquttl fuel because it would ensure a 23
percent increase in the amount of coal they sell.

With so much money to be made. we cannot expect the
coal industry to act selflessly. particularly with its incriminat—
,itig record of environmental and human rights violations.

furthermore. the I' S. faces a weak economy. and coal—to-
liqiird power plants cost roughly “slit billion to build. With air
overwhelming national debt. we do not have the resources to
build power plants that will further destroy the environment
for the benefit of an industry that will not give back.

In short. we should pursue alternative fuels that offer win—
win situations between our economy and the environment.
Todd mentioned algae hltlil'llt'l. which could be nitich more
promising. and there is rooiii for improvement with solar and
wind energy.

As a university striving for topiZtt stains. we need to think
about what is truly best for the state. because coal-to»quuid
fuel is not the answer .\c the leader of a thought institution.
Todd shoitld put more research into these sustainability cfloits.

 

I LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Kentucky should produce
what it can efficiently make

In regards to the editorial written by Itiiiily I‘oerster con
ccrning agriculture. l have to respectfully disagree While at
first glance it may seem advantageous to only consume food
that is locally grow it. there are reasons why this is not the case
Kentucky is a significant agricultural producer. but it does not
always have a comparative advantage in producin
