Surveillance is currently in
places such as some areas of the

A siijii in the Gielian Journalism Building states incorrectly UK Police nionr

Maj. .loc Monroe.

The areas that have surveil-
lance on campus are responsible
for monitoring their own footage.
which is mainly used to gather in»
formation about specific llls'l'
dents. Beatty said. In addition.
each department that installs stir-

\eillance takes care of the inonir
toring and upkeep oi the sy stem,

"(UK Police) does not inoni~
tor any cameras. but we can work
with those organizations to obtain
footage." Monroe said.

The last incident in which l'K
renewed footage of surveillance

tapes was during the investigation
of the ()bama effigy. when an ef~
figy of President-elect Barack
Obama was hung from a tree on
campus. Beatty said,

It is altnost impossible to
have a campus—wide surveillance
system because there are thous
sands of acres that make up LlK‘s
campus. Beatty said,

"There is not a docuntented
plan. but we are workitig with
matiy campus representatives to
make campus safer." Beatty said.
"Surveillance is just a pan of it."

UK‘s isn't the only campus
not to have a central surveillance
system. Like UK. the University
of Georgia has cameras scattered
around campus.

Residents prepare for Jewell Hall closing

"Ml

3159:9995!

iclark @kykernel corn

Jewell Hall has two more weeks before it
is scheduled to close at the end of this SClth's“
ter because of small sin and increasingly iin~
manageable building conditions.

.lewell was scheduled to close last year but
the residence hall had to remain open to accom
modate an overflow of freshmen. said Jamie
Redman. a resident adviser in Jewell Hall .

More than half of the original I08 Jewell
residents have already moved out. relocating to
different domis or moving ofl‘ UK‘s campus en~
tirely. according to Jewell Hall resident advisers.

"A lot of students have moved to Blazer.
Keeneland and B-Tower." said Ranthony
Clark. a Jewell RA and English junior.
wThey're mostly spread out all over the place.”

The residence hall was scheduled to close
because it houses the smallest number of stu~
dents and because the building is slowly
falling into disrepair.

“Residents have known about the reloca«
tion smce the beginning of the semester."
Clark said. "It wasn‘t a surprise."

”hummus-h.

Q t

Clark said Jewell residents started moving
out within the first couple of months. Howev-
er. the estimated 40 residents who stayed are
either still on a waitlist or they are waiting to
be assigned a room with their current room—
mates so they can still live together.

Jewell. which became an all»\vomen‘s
domi lhls semester. was home to a large num—
ber of intemational students. Clark said. many
of whom have returned home.

Anais Ebrard. an art studio junior from
France. will not find out where she is being re—
located to until the very last day of break. De-
spite this lack of information. Ebrard said
she‘s ready to leave Jewell.

"Sometimes it’s cool. but it's just really
old Ebrard said. "We need to move out."

Jewell‘s RAs knew their positions at the
hall would be temporary. but should find out
this week where they Will work next semester.
Clark said.

Emily Diet7. a Jewell RA and nursing
sophomore. said the low capacity and overall
damages are the main reasons for the build—
ing’s closing.

“It would cost more to keep it running

rather than closing it instead." Dietz said.

Jewell's hall director. Linda Ng. was tin-
available for comment.

Even though Jewell is on its last breath.
Clark said because of the people who make up
Jewell's community. “the residents like it here."

“The building's old It just has some
growrng pains." Clark said.

Cats accept
first bid to
Liberty Bow
in Memphis

flllonny Colston
kcolston®kykerne| com

For the last three years. there has been
much ado about the history UK head
coach Rich Brooks and the UK football
team has been making on the field —
breaking streaks. records and negative
connotations about the Cats.

So when UK (6—6. 2-6 Southeastem
Conference) was selected to go bowling
fora third straight year. which hasn‘t hap»
pened since the l9~l9 to l95l seasons.
their invitation to the AutoZone Liberty
Bowl. celebrating its 5()th year as a bowl
game. seemed fitting.

"Tradition and history is a big part of
our game." Auto/Lone Liberty Bowl Ex—
ecutive Director Steve Ehrhart said.
“We‘ve always had big coaches. like Bear
Bryant. We're the seventh oldest bowl
game and we like to have tradition and
quality people like Rich Brooks."

Announced at 5 pm. Sunday. the in
vitation and acceptance finally put to rest
the limbo many saw [7K in. Finishing last
in the SEC East Division. many saw the
Cats. options as retuming to Nashville for
a third straight trip to the Gaylord Hotels
Music City Bowl. or a first—time trip to
Memphis to face Conference l'SA chant
pion East Carolina.

"We‘ve never had Kentucky." Ehrhan
said. "We‘ve been close lots of times
We‘ve had teams
like Alabama and
Ole Miss four
times. but it just
never worked out
to have Kcnr
tiicky. To have a
great institution
like them is
great."

nation tor the Liberty Bowl as well
Skti‘is father. retired coach and ESPN an
aly st Lou Holtz. couched in the Libein

llie game also features a matchup or
two teams that started their seasons off
quickly before injuries derailed promising
starts. East Carolina defeated Atlantic
(‘oasi Conference champion Virginia
Tech and West Virginia earlier this sea»
sort. jumping the Pirates into the top 25
before injuries hindered their dream sea-
son.

"Last ('arolina makes for a good
iiiatchiip.” Elirhan said. “They had one of
the toughest injuries of all year. Btit they
got the ship righted tinder Skip Holt/ and
it was a great coaching job,"

Ehrhart is also excited lor UK's fan
base. which has become notorioUs for its
high volume of traveling supporters. After
having watched nearby Nashville soak up
the UK faithful for the past two seasons.
Ehrhart is excited for Big Blue Nation to
enjoy some of Memphis‘s attractions.

"We know UK has a great rep and
tollowitig. Last time the SEC basketball
championship was here. they really came
out.” he said. “We have an awful lot of
terrific amenities for Kentucky fans with
Beale Street. (iraceland and Tumca.
which is basically a suburb of Meme
phis."

And for those fans who worry about
decreased exposure by traveling to the
Liberty Bowl to face a non-BCS confer?
ence opponent. Ehrhan said the Cats
couldn‘t get any more exposure than the
Liberty Bowl. which is sandwiched be—
tween the highprofile (‘otton and Sugar
bowls.

“We have a terrific date and TV
time." Ehrhan said. “Our TV ratings have
been great. that's why we got this great
.lan. 2 slot. The Cotton Bowl kicks off
three hours before us. and the Sugar bowl
kicks off after us. We're the only ones on
TV at that time.“

And no matter what else happens. the
Cats seem to be focused on more than
just reaching a third straight bowl game
~ they want to wtn. too.

"I think everyone should go into the
game thinking they are going to get a vic-
tory." junior defensive end Jeremy Jar-
mon said. “We‘re excited about going to
Memphis."

"We've never
had Kentucky
to have a great

institution like
them is great ”

By Bobby Reagan

Familiarity.

()n a day In which the
l'K men’s basketball learn
honored what is considered
one of the tnost famous faces
III UK basketball history. Bill
“Mr. Wildcat" Keightley. the
Cats (6-3) got back to the fa-
miliarity of victory. defeating
Mississippi Valley State XX—
65 on Sunday at Rtipp Arena.

liven Mississippi Valley
State (ti-ltll had a face famil-
tar to (‘ats fans. lts ltead
coach is former UK player
Sean Woods.

“It was awesome to come
back to UK." Woods said. “I
was jttst glad I didn‘t have to
play against anyone that
coached me."

Something Woods may
have noticed to be a bit dif-
ferent from his playing days
were the tttiiforms the. (‘ats
wore for the game. Instead of
the traditional home white
jerseys. UK donned black
tinifonns with “Keightley” on
the nameplate where individ-
ual names Usually go.

The jersey-s came as a
surprise to the players ,.
they didn't fitid out abottt the
change until l0 iittntites be-
fore the game when the alter
tiate uniforms were hanging
in tile locker room. The home
age to the lottgtimc eqttip-
.nent manager is something
sophomore Patrick Patterson
said he wishes the (‘ats could
do every home gatite.

"I wish we could wear
black at home and wltite on the
road." Patterson said. “They
make us look good. Plus. what
can you say' about the ntatt that
we honored with tltein.’ He is
toyed and missed every day."

L'K head coach Billy
(iillispie reiterated Patter-
son's comments dtiring his
postgame news conference.
He said there is never too
mttch you can do to lionot
Keightley'. who died on
March 31 from internal
bleeding caused by an undi-
zignos‘ed spinal tumor

The (‘ats also honored
Kcightley with a \Ideo
played before the starting
lineup was announced. as
well as several other \Ideos
throughout the game. Ketght—
ley‘s retired jersey was rev
raised to the Rtipp Arena
rafters. and UK coaches and
staff wore a lapel pm of a No
-lt< UK jersey. Keightley‘s
first year at UK was 1948.

”Everything today was
t‘eifect." (iillispic said. “Well.

themes on the floor that have
become familiar this season,

they trailed by Ill at halftime.
the Cats started slow again on
Sunday.

"There may ha\e been a
little bit of a hangoter."
(itllispie said. "We did some
good things today. but we
definitely have some tltttigs
that w e need to improve on.”

One of the improyements

Sunday win
just What the
doctor ordered

The Cats had the perfect remedy for the Miami blues
on Sunday.

One day after UK suffered its third loss of the season
after a stirring comeback fell just short. the Cats had to
play doctor and come up With a cure
for those Miami blues.

A 33—point blowout victory. an
emotional tribute to a late legend. a
welcome honte party for a fomier star
and a little magic frotn a native son
were perfect ingredients for the Cats'
remedy. Not to mention the medicine
works better when taken at the first
sign of symptoms.just a day after
their loss.

"This team is improving at a very
fast rate." UK head coach Billy
(itllispie said.

Less than 24 hours after their 67-
7.‘ loss to Miami. the Cats were back on the court. wel-
coming honte Mississippi Valley State head coach Sean
Woods.

Woods played at UK frotn 1990—93 and was a menr
bet of “The L'nforgettables." The highlight of his career
came when his shot pttt the Cats ahead of Duke. 103—
102. with 2.l seconds left In overtime of the NS):
NCAA regional final before Christian Laettner‘s famous
fade-away buried UK‘s Fitial Four hopes. Just like that
fateful night. this orIc didn‘t end well for Woods.

"We are who we are." Woods said. “We are going to
play hard. Because l got the job so late. l w as only left
with three scholarship players. Fm jUst trying to get the
most otit of these guys. My gtiys keep scrapping,"

l‘K chose this hoiriecoining game for Woods to pay
one final tribute to former equipment manager Bill “Mr.
Wildcat" Keighiley'. At halftime. l'K re-retired Keight-
lcy‘s jersey dttring a ceremony with his family on the
court.

“There‘s never enough you cati do for him. bttt I
think all the thtitgs they did today were great." (iillispte
sdltl.

The titeamng of the ceremony wasn‘t lost on Woods.
either.

"It means everything to me for the simple tact that l
got stuck In San Antonio at the Final Four before getting
to say goodbye to Mr. Keightley." said Woods. "Mi: Bill
means everything to e\ery person w ho has etcr walked
through or been associated w Itli this progiam ”

.ltist otcr three minutes uito the game. l'K added Its
fittal Potent Ingredient to the eltsir The first man off the
bench tonight w asn‘t heralded freshmen l)e.-\ndre Lig-
gms or Darius Miller. It wasn‘t sophomore .losh Harrell
son. it was tresbman walkvon and l‘atntsytlle. Ky. nati\c
landon Slotie.

“l was a little surprised that (‘oacli (itllispie called
me to go In the game tonight." Slone said. “I know I
lime to be ready whenctcr he calls my name."

JtIst before the ltalf. the Cats were nursing a four
point lead behind sl\ points from Slotie. the Cats" leading
scorer at the time,

"He plays hard aitd sltot the ball well today
(iIllIspIe said, "I think ltc can make shots and Is Used to
scoring points. bttt Inore Importatitly. he plays hard arid
that Is why he was in there early today."

(lit a night when l'ntorgettable Sean Woods was III
the house. the Rupp Arena crowd was full of memories
of that famous team with a former Paintsville High
School standout on the floor. just like l‘nforgettable
.lohn Pelphrey.

When asked how they were celebrating in Paintsville
today. Stone was coy',

"I‘m Iiot stire. bttt I got a lot of text messages w hen I
got back to the locker room after the game,"

Just like that. 24 hours after another bean—breaking
defeat. l'K arid Its fans got their core for the Mian‘i
blttes A blowout. a tribute. a homecoming arid a little
magic from a native son did the trick. The eye of the
llttmcanes Storm has seemingly passed.

"We are Iiieyperienced but we are making giant irri-
proteinents every time we play and that Is what you hate
to do.” (‘IIllispie said.

Sounds like the perfect cure for the Miami blues.

Budget cuts must not exclude President Todd

The unocisrty is facing a 4 percent cut In
state funding. l'K President Lee Todd Iias not
been shy Ill saying tlte school will have to
make sacrifices and no one Is exempt from
the budget ctits

No one btit himself. of course.

On Friday. the Kernel reported that de
spite the w orsenmg budget. Todd‘s total corri-
pensation ll;ts Increased over the past fotir
years by 42.7 percent last year aloite. Todd
rrtade $5941le

However. Todd still considers his not~so~
modest artntial total compensation to be re—
flective of the budget. insisting he does not
get a bonus and his salary has not increased

His salary may have remained the same

tentioii bonus. a performance bonus and foun~
dation pay seitt his in erall earnings tip
562.500 this school year. according to the
Chronicle of Higher Iiducation.

While college presidents around the court—

try are tunting down pay raises Irt the face of
budget shortfalls. Todd hasn’t decided
whether or not he will follow suit. despite the
"significant impact" the mid-year budget cuts
will have on UK. according to the Friday
Kernel article.

“We can't afford this proposed ctit without
significant Impact." Todd said about the pro--
posed 4 percent cut in state funding. In an e~
mail. “livery cut ritezuis additional loss of pro—
grams. positions arid our ability to move the
university forward."

Yet. his saltU’y seems to be the one thing
rnov mg forward without fail.

Ill limes like (lime. you need (1 leader.
Apparently. the university‘s budget and
Todd‘s operate differently; one doesn't seem to
depend on the other. This is not the first year
the budget has been less than UK had antici-
pated. and it wasn't just one year that Todd‘s
total compensation rose when the budget did

not. .

Todd is a representative of the university.
He is supposed to be the part of it that the fac-
ulty. staff arid students can look to for help and

guidance. In April. Todd recommended to the
{K Board of Trustees that faculty arid staff
not Ieceive a saltuy raise.

"We have explored every avenue to Iii-
crease salaries for faculty and staff. but the
funds are simply not there." Todd said in his
announcement of the decision. .

His wallet was not one of the avenues ex
plored.

While l'K‘s budget gets slashed year after
year. its president is now supported by an an»
anal earning that goes beyond half a million
dollars.

That concept doesn‘t sit well when de—
partments cannot make needed hires. and pos—
sible scholarships are in jeopardy.
