Celebrating 32 years of independence

Facility to assist UK athletics

Facility will help with recruitment and communication,
may take up much of the parking in the C-lot

STAFF WRITER

The UK Board of
Trustees took the first step
Wednesday toward building
a $25 million basketball prac-
tice facility adjacent to
Memorial Coliseum.

The members of the
board voted unanimously to
approve the contract for the
project’s $2.5 million design
phase.

The 92,300sguare-foot fa-
cility will be located behind
Memorial Coliseum between
Rose Street and the Wildcat

Lodge and should help solve
the athletic scheduling con-
flicts that currently exist in
Memorial Coliseum, officials
said.

Similar practice facili-
ties are already in use at sev-
eral major universities
across the Southeastern Con-
ference. Vanderbilt, Florida,
Georgia and South Carolina
have already have such
buildings and Tennessee is

in the design process.

UK Athletic Director
Mitch Barnhart said con-
struction of the new facility
is imperative if UK is to keep
its reputation as a basketball
powerhouse.

“It’s a huge asset for our
program to be able to get
that in place,” Barnhart said.
“Competitively, we are the
preeminent basketball pro-

Students frustrated with laws against downloading;
UK sending letters asking students not to download

By Farra Franklin
CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Students wanting to
download the new Chingy or
Dave Matthews songs are
finding that they will not
have permission to download
in their residence halls this
semester.

Downloading has been
prohibited in all dorms be-
cause of the Recording In-
dustry Association of Ameri-
ca's rules regarding copy-
right laws.

UK administrators are
trying to inform students
that music downloading is il-
legal by sending out informa-
tion through resident advis-
ers.

“I think it is important to
educate students because we
don‘t want students to be-
come involved in practices
contrary to RIAA policies,"

said Jim Wims, vice presi-
dent of Student Affairs for
Residence Life.

The RIAA has sent sub-
poenas to universities and
sued students who it has de-
termined were engaged in il-
legal electronic file sharing.

No one at UK has official-
ly been subpoenaed, said
Katharine Adams, UK attor-
ney.

It has not come to the at-
tention of UK that the associ-
ation has sent out a letter for
information, but it did send
out a national press release
to all universities, she said.

“Downloading an artist' .

positions to defend the law- 't' a

The association believes '

education will help con-

sumers understand the im-
portance of protecting the
rights of recording artists.

Nearly all states have pri-
vacy laws that make it a
criminal offense to down-
load, counterfeit or bootleg
audio recordings.

However, the use of very
small amounts of a song, in-
cluding when songs are used
for a non-profit educational
purpose, may be permissible
under the fair use exceptions
of the US. Copyright Code.

Impact on
CD stores
differs

lylrlstlaahata
m—

Surveys, music store
owners and the Record-
ing Industry Association
of America have differ-
ing viewpoints on the
monetary effects of file
sharing on the Internet.

“The downloading of
songs off the Internet
has tremendously affect-
ed sales of smaller CD
stores,” said Stephanie
Haynes, owner of CD
Warehouse on Rose
Street. “Though, again,
some people have the
mentality that ‘I’ve had
it on my computer for
three weeks now, so why
do I need to go purchase
the CD?”

CD music sales de-
creased 7 percent in the
first half of the year, ac-
cording to the RIAA.

The decline has cost
the industry around $284
million in lost sales.

The RIAA released a
separate survey of Inter-
net users’ music habits,
which found people be-
tween ages 12 and 54
bought fewer CDs as
they downloaded more
tracks.

“We get a lot of cus-
tomers who download
and listen to music off
the Internet, then go and
purchase the CD itself,”
said Steve Baron, owner
of CD Central on South
Limestone Street.

“Customers who are
really into music still
buy CDs. Many want the
whole item.”

Some said the dam-
age inflicted by file shar-
ing depended on the type
of music.

“Overall the down-
loading off the Internet
has affected the dispos-
able music, which are
here today, gone tomor-
row types of songs," said
Kevin Curtis, owner of
Spy Records off Man 0’
War.

“It mainly affects the
new releases, and songs
that tend to hit the cliff,
meaning the interest in
the music is gone."

Many people hear a
song that they like and
decide to download it,
store owners said.

Local leaders
have expectations

for new governor v

Chandler, Fletcher have numerous plans for Lexington

By Sarah lllmoth
W—

Lexington community leaders have specific ideas
about what the new governor can do for Kentucky's sec-
ond-largest city.

Mayor Teresa Isaac said she has worked closely with
Gov. Paul Patton, meeting with him several times a
month to discuss Lexington‘s issues.

Her work with the new governor will continue to in-
volve direct contact and communication about important
matters affecting the city, she said.

“I’ve worked with Chandler as attorney general and
Fletcher as a congressman," Isaac said. “I could work
well with either one of them.“

Isaac has a lobbyist in Frankfort who presents her
administration's agenda to the state legislature.

She said getting the necessary money from the state
is often frustrating.

“When Frankfort mandates that we do something
here in Lexington, it‘s important that they provide us
with the stream of revenue to do so,“ she said. “It‘s very
hard when they tell us to do something but don’t provide
the funding for it."

The current agenda that the new governor will tackle
includes getting state funding for the construction of a
biological sciences/pharmaceutical complex at UK and
securing funding for the completion of the Lexington
Convention Center expansion project. she said.

Another topic on Isaac’s agenda includes ensuring
reauthorization of Fayette County enterprise zones,
which involves the city providing incentives to business-
es that locate or expand within certain areas of Lexing-
ton.

Lexington needs additional money for numerous
road improvement projects, which include Citation
Boulevard. Liberty Road, Loudon Avenue, Newtown Pike
and Todds Road, Isaac said.

But she is not the only one who has a wish list for
Lexington.

Third District Councilman Dick DeCamp, who repre-
sents most of the campus area, said he hopes the new
governor will work to preserve the land and heritage of
the Bluegrass region.

“We've gotten support from the governor in the past
on land preservation,“ he said. “I think the new governor
?eeds to be very attuned to that and continuing those ef-

orts."

Local civic activist Don Pratt said he wants the new
leader to focus on improving the image of education in
the city.

“Too often. there's a lack of trust over what's being
done with money in both primary and secondary educa-
tion,” he said. “We need to improve the public image of
education and make clear how it's serving this communi-
ty."

Excessive spending of taxpayers” money also needs
to be reined in, Pratt said.

“I’ve been terribly disappointed over the money wast-
ed on Rupp Arena and the capital funds being spent on
things that are not essential services and needs," he said.

According to Lisa Johnson. vice president of the
Aylesford Neighborhood Association, the most important
service the new governor needs to improve is affordable
health insurance.

Johnson has witnessed the problem as a mother and
from her work in a local emergency room, she said.

“The medical abuse here is ridiculous," Johnson
said. “We‘ve got women dying of cancer because they
can't afford a checkup. The (new governor‘s) top priority
should be taking care of people ~— and we‘re not."

Both Chandler and Fletcher said they have specific
plans for Lexington and goals they want to accomplish as
governor.

Chandler said he's interested in the growth of down}
town Lexington and getting UK more involved in what's
going on downtown.

“The city and the university haven't always seen eye-
to-eye on things," he said. “I'd like to promote under-
standing and communication between the two. I‘d like
the university to be a more active player in downtown."

Bringing more high-tech industry to Lexington while
maintaining the unique character of the land is another
one of Chandler‘s goals, he said.

“There‘s no place in the world quite like Fayette
County. so we need to grow properly and remain sensitive
to our beautiful landscape." he said.

Chandler said his Sponsored Advanced Research in
Kentucky plan would provide the means to attract high-
tech companies to Lexington.

SPARK would involve research performed at UK but
financed by particular businesses, he said.

“We would offer companies a tax credit to encourage
research here. and the financing would be provided by
royalties and patent pending payments. Chandler said.
“Hopefully. the new technology would encourage more
companies to come here. create new jobs and help the
university to grow and improve."

No leads one you elur miner's under
NEW YORK — A year has passed since a
gunman walked into Jam Master Jay's record-
ing studio and —— possibly after greeting him
with a hug — pumped a bullet in his head.
Since then, police say they have pursued “sev-
eral significant leads." including some that
suggest the rap pioneer died in a money dis-
pute. But Thursday’s anniversary of a slaying
that shook the music industry appeared likely
to pass with the killer still at large. The city,
music industry notables and family members
have helped keep the killing in the headlines
by offering tens of thousands of dollars in re-
wards. But with no major breaks, the case has
drawn comparisons to the unsolved slayings of
rap superstars Tupac Shakur in Las Vegas and
Notorious 8.1.0. in Los Angeles. Privately, in-
vestigators have complained that some wit-
nesses have been uncooperative. The 37-year-
old victim (real name: Jason Mizell) spent his
last moments lounging in his 24-7 Recording
Studio on Oct. 30, 2002. The disc jockey and
founding member of Run—DMC gained fame
working the turntables as Joe “Run" Simmons
(Russell Simmons' brother) and Darryl “DMC”
McDaniels rapped on such hits as “King of
Rock," “It’s Tricky," and a remake of Aero-
smith‘s “Walk This Way." In recent years. he
had helped produce and promote lesser-known
artists, including a then unknown 50 Cent. Wit-
nesses said a large man wearing a black sweat
suit and black hat appeared inside the studio
and embraced Mizell. He then pulled out a .40
caliber pistol and opened fire. But the shooter's
identity — and his motive 7— have been the
subject of conflicting reports. Some speculate
that Mizell, who was drowning in debt. may
have been killed on orders from someone he
owed money. Other reports have suggested that
the victim was involved in drug deal gone bad.

Obesity proposal heads to Senate

WASHINGTON —- Cities and schools
could get federal grants to pay for nutrition
classes and promote fitness under a measure
passed by a Senate panel on Wednesday. Senate
Republican Leader Bill Frist. R~Tenn.. pm
posed the legislation. He said it is aimed at
curbing the nation‘s obesity problem. Encour-
aging people to exercise and eat well would be
more effective than blaming the restaurant
and food industries for fat. he said. “This bill
does not intend to stigmatize those who strug-

gle to control their weight or to demonize any
seaorof thecountrybyblamingthemforthis
epidemic." said Frist, a member of the Senate
Health. Education. Labor and Pensions Com-
mittee, which passed the legislation unani-
mously The bill now moves to the Senate floor:
The Centers for Disease Control and Preven-
tion estimates that 61 percent of adults and 15
percent of children are overweight. The bill.
called the Improved Nutrition and Physical Ac-
tivity Act, also would give grants to health pro
feasion students for research in eating disor-
ders and obesity. However, it doesn't specify
how much money would be spent on the initia
tives. A similar bill has been introduced in the
House by Rep. Mary Bono. R-Calif. and has 61
co-sponsors. The Grocery Manufacturers of
America. a trade group. backs the proposals.

LUBBOCK, Texas — Authorities in three
West Texas counties have strict orders for sex
offenders this Halloween: Go home, turn out
your lights and don't answer your door: On Fri—
day. convicted sex offenders whose victims
were children and who are on probation must
be home by 6 pm. Officers in Lubbock, Potter
and Tom Green counties will check on the 100
or so men and women throughout the night as
part of Project Lights Out. “It's good to know
they are putting sex offenders on notice," said
Margaret Crawford. who planned to take her 8'
yearold son out to collect candy and treats. “I
think that‘s a top priority for any parent.”
Statewide, parole and probation authorities
will increase their surveillance of sex offend-
ers during the weekend, said Texas Depart-
ment of Criminal Justice spokesman Mike V1-
esca. Such programs are a great idea, says
Marc Klaas. whose daughter, Polly, was abduct-
ed from her California home in 1993 and found
murdered. Otherwise, he said. “it‘s like Santa
Claus knocking on your door if you‘re a pe-
dophile.“ Similar initiatives are in place in oth-
er states. including New York. Virginia and
California. where Operation Boo restricts
parolees from having candy in their homes or
putting up any Halloween decorations. Last
week. letters went out to sex offenders in Lub
bock County whose victims were children. The
reaction has been mixed. “Some are doing it
willingly. some are complaining about it," said
Steve Henderson. director of adult probation.
One 28-year-old sex offender however, said he
thinks Project Lights Out is an appropriate
safeguard. “There‘s no reason for kids to he go
ing to our houses anyway" said John, who
asked that his last name not be used. In the
years since he was placed on probation for in-
decency with a 15-year-old in Abilene, Texas,
his routine on Halloween has been to be away
from his home. This year, he planned to tell his
probation officer where he will be and officers
will check on him at that location, said David
Rowan. the supervisor of the sex offender unit
in Lubbock. “If we can protect one kid. 10 kids,
it's certainly worth the small amount of time
and effort that we are putting into this pro-
ject." said Terry Easterling. the head of adult
probation in Potter County

Walls of flame still attack Calif.

First firefighter dies from fires, making death count 18;
Fires have destroyed more than 1,800 homes

ASSOCIAIED PRESS

7 LAKE ARROWHEAD,
Calif. —~ Firefighters strug-
gled desperately Wednesday
to save emptiedout resort
towns in Southern Califor-
nia‘s San Bernardino Moun-
tains as 200foot walls of
flame engulfed dead and
dried-out trees.

In San Diego County, the
state‘s largest fire claimed an-
other victim when a firefight-
ing crew was overcome by
flames, killing one and injur-
ing three. It marked the first
firefighter death since the se
ries of blazes began last week
and brought the total number
of (lead to 18.

The hot. dry Santa Ana
winds from the desert that
had been whipping the fires
into raging infernos eased.
only to give way to stiff
breezes off the ocean that
pushed the flames up the
canyon walls around evacuat-
ed resort towns like Lake Ar-
rowhead and Big Bear, east of
Los Angeles.

By early afternoon.
homes were burning in the
mountain community of
CedarPines Park.

“There‘s fire on so many
fronts. it‘s not even manage-
able at this point.” said Chris
Cade. a fire prevention techni-
cian with the US. Forest Ser-
vice. as he watched a pillar of
smoke he estimated at 9,000
feet rise into a hazy sky thick

with ash. “I am at a loss what
you can do about it."

The fires have burned
more than 620,000 acres and
destroyed 1,800 homes. More
than 12,000 firefighters and
support crew were fighting
what Gov. Gray Davis said
may be the worst and costliest
disaster California has ever
faced. He estimated the cost at
$2 billion so far.

The fires, which began
last week, burned in a broken
arc across Southern Califor.
nia, from Ventura County
east to Los Angeles County
and the San Bernardino
Mountains and south to east-
ern San Diego County.

On Southern California's
other major front, about 100
fire engines encircled the his-
toric mining town of Julian
in the mountains of eastern
San Diego County, hoping to
save the popular weekend get-
away community renowned
for its vineyards and apple or-
chards.

However, some two dozen
engines and water tenders
that were headed to Julian
were forced to turn back
when flames swept over a
highway. And as the winds
picked up, floating embers
sparked spot fires near the
town of 3,500, forcing some
crews to retreat.

South of Julian, about 90
percent of the homes had
been destroyed in Cuyamaca,

a lakeside town of about 160
residents. Charred cows lay
by the side of the road and
houses were reduced to little
more than stone entr'yways.

San Diego County fire of-
ficials feared a 233,000acre
fire and the 50,000acre blaze
would merge into a huge, sin-
gle blaze that would make it
nearly impossible to keep it
from reaching Julian.

Officials in San Diego
County —— where most of the
deaths took place — predicted
the death toll would rise afier
investigators began scouring
devastated neighborhoods.

A crew of US. Forest Ser-
vice Hot Shots outside Julian
was given an ominous warn-
ing by their team leader: If
they came across any human
remains. they were to cordon
off the area until a medical
examiner could get in.

“If we find somebody in
the brush who took off run-
ning or whatever," Capt. Fred
Brewster told his 19-member
team. “Who knows what
you're going to find up there?
It's a giant mess."

In the San Bernardinos,
the cool, moist ocean breezes
confounded firefighters, just
as the desert winds did over
the weekend. Heavy winds
kept aircraft grounded in the
area, and winds gusting to 60
mph pushed flames up from
the mountain slopes into the
dense forest. The breezes
were moving at a rate of
quarter mile per minute.

Firefighters feared that
the narrow roads and sheer
number of dead trees. rav-
aged by drought and a bark

beetle infestation, could make
it impossible to protect some
of the smaller communities
in the area.

“It would be suicide to
put anyone in there," Conrad
said.

Some 80,000 full-time resi-
dents of the San Bernardinos
have cleared out since the
weekend, thousands of them
winding their way in bumper-
tobumper traffic out a nar~
row highway.

A steady stream of vehi-
cles loaded with couches, tele-
visions and other household
items inched down the moun-
tain Wednesday.

Others defied the warn-
ings of firefighters and decid-
ed to stay

“I'm afraid. but I've got a
lot of faith,“ said Chrisann
Maurer, as she watered down
her yard and home amid
smoke~filled winds. “I just
think there is enough people
praying that we might be
safe."

Mark Peterson, a fire-
fighter with the Big Bear
Lake Fire Department, said
the fire was moving toward
Big Bear rapidly and called
those who refused to leave
“crazy."

California Forestry De-
partment incident comman-
der John Hawkins told ex-
hausted firefighters not to
give up.

“We hear losses," he said.
“But the bottom line is we
don't hear how many were
saved. how many of you put
your name, your body, your
heart on the line to save the
houses."

 

 

MUSIC '

Continued from page i

This sometimes helps
the smaller music stores,
because it allows the public
a chance to hear the quality
of the songs, and then they
tend to go out and purchase

the particular CD, Curtis
said.

“Good CDs that have
mostly great songs still sell
and don’t hit the cliff." he
said. “People also find new
music from the Internet be-
cause the radio doesn’t play
it. I blame lack of choices
off the radio for the de-
crease in CD sales more
than I blame downloading

off the Internet."

Global music revenues
will continue to decline for
the next few years. but the
industry will recover as fee-
based digital downloads
flourish, Forester research
projected in a 2002 MSNBC
survey.

The survey reported
that music downloads from
the Internet will reach $2

billion in sales, or 17 per-
cent of the music business
in 2007.

“I believe it is benefi-
cial to use in the intent of
hearing a song and deciding
whether or not you like it
before spending money on
it," Haynes said.

minute listen,“ said elemen-
tary education freshman
Pam Fannon. “College stu-
dents lack money for music
entertainment. Therefore, we
need music to preview before
we buy it.“

According to Doyle
Friskney, UK’s associate vice
president of Information
Technology, a number of
peer to peer (P2P) programs,
like file sharing programs,
are looking for a business

model that allows the compa-
ny to be profitable.

To do this, companies
like Apple have started to
charge for music and sell ad-
vertising, he said.

One form of advertising
is to include ads in the P2P
program. Another is to in-
clude a new system called
Spyware, which tracks peo-
ple’s web browsing activities
for advertising agencies.

SpyWare is software that
is installed without people’s
knowledge, said Greg
Franseth, a public relations
technical project specialist at
UK.

There are several large

media companies that offer
shareware authors to place
banner ads in their products
in exchange for a portion of
the revenue from banner
sales, Friskney said.

“Many people download
P2P software, browsing utili-
ties. etc.. but are not told that
they are getting software that
does some of these other
things," Franseth said.

“It is loaded in the back-
ground and set to automati-
cally start when the comput-
er starts."

He also said that individ-
uals can go months without
knowing the software is
there except for getting unex-

pected popup ads and seeing
a decrease in computer or
browsing performance.

Some students feel that
even though the RIAA can
catch them downloading and
proceed with lawsuit, they
will still continue to down-
load regardless of the results.

“I used to be against the
injustice of music download-
ing, but after discovering the
beauty of it, I have become
another criminal stealing
from the starving music
artists," said undeclared
freshman Ryan Goodrich.

When completed. the
building will house two has-
ketball courts and two floors
of athletic offices. Barnhart
plans to give the basketball
locker rooms in Memorial
Coliseum to the volleyball
and gymnastics programs.
which currently share the

gym with the basketball
teams. He will also hand over
office space to the university
for classroom and other aca-
demic purposes, he said.

The facility will be locat-
ed in the C-lot, where hun-
dreds of students park each
day. Warren Denny, the cam-
pus architect. said the long-
term plan is to build a park-
ing structure in the area.

UK President Lee Todd
said one of the most impor-
tant aspects of the project
will be equity between the
men and women’s basketball
teams.

“Tubby (Smith) has indi—

cated to me he needs this for
competitive reasons. but
Mickie DeMoss does as
well," Todd said. “The
women's facilities will be
equal to the men’s and that
has not been the case in the
past."

Todd said the new facili—
ty will also help with com-
munication between coaches.

“They're spread out all
over the place now." he said.
“It will give all of them a
place they can be co-located
so they can learn from each
other and work with each
other more closely."

Barnhart expects the fa-

cility to be completed by the
start of the Fall 2006 semes-
ter. He said the money for the
project, all of which will
come from private sources. is
already in the process of be-
ing raised.

“President Todd gave us
the authority a couple of
board meetings ago to begin
the solicitation process. and
that has been going well." he
said. “We've got enough gifts
in place to go ahead and do
the design work so now we
can concentrate on the other
part."

need to welcome them and
make them feel like a strong
part of the community."

Fletcher said he‘s com-
mitted to attracting high-
wage and high-tech jobs for

Lexington by bringing a fed-
eral research lab to Ken-
tucky.

Fletcher has said that
promoting technology trans-
fers between Kentucky uni-
versities, the federal lab and
the private sector would en-
courage the formation of
new, high-tech companies.

Working with Mayor
Isaac and city leaders will
be key in bringing better
jobs to the Lexington.
Fletcher said.

“I will welcome Mayor
Isaac‘s input and will be
willing to work with her to
bring new. high-paying jobs
to the region." he said. “It is

important that the governor
have an open ear to the
needs of local cities and
communities.“

Fletcher said his goals
for education include ensur-
ing that every child can read
by the third grade and im-
plementing educational
strategies that will close the
achievement gap.

Commitment to higher
education is another plat
form of Fletcher's cam-
paign. and he has said that
he wants tuition to stay as
low as possible.

“Tuition must not be al-
lowed to skyrocket and
cause the opportunity to get

an advanced education to be
beyond the reach of hard-
working Kentuckians,“
Fletcher said in an early
campaign speech.

Providing access to af-
fordable health care is an-
other way to improve life in
Lexington, he said.

"I believe that with the
proper investments and a
real change in Frankfort. we
can help Lexington move
forward and maintain its po-
sition as one of the most liv-
able cities in America."
Fletcher said.
