Election needed for new student trustee

Voiceless: Students could be without input, vote
during critical debates on tuition and fee increases

By Paul Lelghtty
STATF WRITER

Although Mary Kather—
ine Thompson has replaced
Tim Robinson as Student
Government president. a
state law prohibits her
from taking his seat on the
Board of Trustees.

And if SG can't get

enough tnoney to hold a
special election. students
won't have a board repre-
sentative any time soon.

The seat is empty at a
critical time for student in-
put. Thompson said.
Trustees will soon discuss
tuition and student fee in-
creases. among other is-
sues.

It's unclear if the re-
sponsibility to hold the
election falls on SG. but
members said Wednesday
night that they will solve
the problem.

“Leaving it vacant, in
my opinion. would be to
the detriment of the stu-
dent body." said Joe
Ruschell. who was sworn
in as SG vice president
Wednesday. Ruschell was
senate chairman.

Yet with a possible

$10,000 deficit, the organi-
zation may not be able to
afford voting machines
necessary for an election.

Robinson resigned Fri-
day after pleading guilty to
charges of interfering with
voter registration.

He was indicted after
747 overdue voter registra-
tion cards were found in
the SG office in January.

If there is no election.
then there will be no stu-
dent on the board until the

next student body presi-
dent is elected. An 80 pres-
ident automatically be-
comes a trustee. according
to law.

The SG presidential
and senate elections are
April 2 and 3.

The SC Senate passed a
resolution Wednesday sup-
porting the special elec‘
tion. although its approval
is not required.

Only Sens. Rachel
Watts and David Hutchin-

son yoted against the reso
lution.

Both said they support
ed having a student on the
board. but they were con
cerned about the potential
for a botched and under
funded election after re
cent news that 80 might
run a deficit this year. they
said.

great idea. and students

mer Los Angeles Dodgers
manager and Hall of Fame
member, spoke to a packed
President’s Room in Com-
monwealth Stadium to

help inspire and kick off
the UK baseball team's
107th season.

Member's of the
“Dugout Club." a group
that meets monthly to gain
support for the Bat Cats,
crowded the President's
Room for a star—studded
luncheon. °

Former Cincinnati
Reds pitcher and Lexington

native Doug Flynn opened
the ceremonies with a look
back on his playful rivalry
with Lasorda.

Lasorda swore to “kill
the Reds" in his first year
as the Dodgers manager.
The Reds had won back to
back World Series and La-
sorda wanted nothing
more than to take the title
away from them.

“I don’t want anyone

walking in this clubhouse
with red on," Lasorda said
to his 1977 Dodgers team.
Later that year, they beat,
the Reds.

“We have to hate the

Reds, we have to beat
them, and we did in ’77,”
Lasorda said.

‘Blue men' seeking
spirited

replacement

Some students have taken the teat to paint their bodies blue.

Wanted: Students willing to paint there bodies blue
with grease-like paint, don blue wigs during UK games

By Derek Poore
srArr mum

Dick Vitale was a “blue man" earlier this month _. he
dolled him up in a blue wig for the UK vs. Georgia men‘s bas-
ketball game.

But this wasn’t the first time Vitale‘s shiny noggin was
adorned with UK royal blue. During the UK vs. Florida has»
ketball game. someone pointed out to Vitale that he had a
shiny blue handprint on his dome. He quickly toweled his
head clean. but the “Blue Men" had made their mark.

Three of the most spirited UK students have been paint
ing themselves for the past two years. and it's caused a big
blue frenzy of increased fan enthusiasm. Dubbed the “Blue
Men," they are known for their spirit and the big blue paint
spots they leave behind them.

But now that they‘re retiring so that they'll have more
time for school, will the legacy continue?

James Monroe. a management and economics junior.
Ben Frasier, an accounting junior and Nick Clark. an eco
nomics junior. began their legacy as UK freshmen.

“Josh Walton did it when I was in high school," Monroe
said. “My freshman year. I was the only one doing it."

Soon. the trio became a staple at UK home games.

“We were like a team,“ said Frasier “[At first] Nick
painted himself up totally. I would just paint like. my face.”

Clark said he used to tell the guys he'd paint when he
could sit next to them.

Frasier was sort of the handyman. carrying tickets. hav
ing the only paint—free hands available. But eventually. all
three were doing it.

“It's like a grease paint." Frasier said. And as \‘itale
found out. it‘s important to watch what you touch or what
touches you.

All three are. simply put. the deﬁnition of F.~\I\'Aati<~al.

“We just have a lot of school spirit." Monroe said

However. this year. the group has been too busy to go to

rience." she said.

Spicer said. “I have
been able to look at things
in my life when they were
really bothering me."

She said her blood pres-
sure has also lowered signif‘
icantly.

WASHINGTON — President Bush. offer

Wednesday that “ending this direct and grow-

the way for peace in the Middle East and
encourage democracy throughout the Arab
world. While saying the Iraqi regime still has
time to avoid war, Bush told conservative
backers that US. troops are ready for war and
spoke at length about his plans for Iraq once
Saddam is gone. “The United States has no
intention of determining the precise fortn
of Iraq's new government. That choice be-
longs to the Iraqi people." Bush told the
American Enterprise Institute. “Yet we will
ensure that one brutal dictator is not re-
placed by another.“ The address came at the
end of a day marked by intense diplomatic
activity. as Bush struggled to ﬁnd votes in fa»

Nations Security Council. The United States.
Britain and Spain need nine votes
and no vetoes to pass the measure.

‘ Court lifts ban on clinic protests

WASHINGTON - In a victory for abor-

day that federal racketeering and extortion
laws were wrongly used to try to stop block-
ades. harassment and violent protests outside
clinics. The 8-1 ruling lifts a nationwide ban
on protests that interfere with abortion clinic
business. Abortion rights supporters said
they fear the ruling will lead to a reprise of
screaming matches and physical confronta-
tions outside clinics. Anti-abortion leader
Joseph Scheidler predicted renewed activism
at clinics but said the protests will be peace-
ful. Women's organizations and abortion
rights supporters were unconvinced.

Not just a cartoon: Club president wants everyone
to understand Japanese animation not just for kids

By Derek Poore
STAN WRlIER

They love cartoons. but
Vicman Linares and other
Anime /Manga UK club
members are serious about
getting the word out about
Japanese animation.

This animation. which
once only had a cult follow-
ing, has blasted into main-
stream America with recent
re—issuances of Akira: The
Special Edi.
tion DVD in
2001 and
showings of
Miyazaki's
S p i r i' t e d
Away at the
Kentucky
Theatre.

Linares,
the club‘s
president
and a com-
puter sci-
ence infor-
mation ju-
nior. said
the anima-
tion should
be appreci-
ated for the
beauty that
it is. enjoy-
ing the
Japanese
culture and having a good
time.

“People need to get the
concept out of their heads
that these are just for kids."
he said.

The club has about 20
members, but as many as 40
people have attended their
meetings and viewings each
Tuesday night. Linares said.

Linares. who joined the
club in 1999. got interested in
Anime around 1994 or 1995
when shows like Dragonball
Z were being aired Saturday
mornings.

He described the history
of Anime from post-World
War II to tape trading on the
Internet.

“Manga (a form of Japan-
ese animation) started in the
late 19605 and ‘705. when the
golden age of comics existed
in the United States. A lot of
people don’t realize that
shows like Transformers.
Speed Racer. and GI. Joe were
done by Japanese animators."
he said.

Linares said Anime and
Manga are full of culture. as
well as a broad range of
themes for children and
adults and high quality ani-
mation.

He said Anime is becom-
ing popular quickly.

“It is becoming main-
stream. As long as its high
quality. we love it," he said.

“There are some people
who want to remain cliquish
about it. but AMUK is all
about getting the word out to

Anime Linares

people on how great it is."

UK students aren‘t the
only ones showing up at the
club meetings. Webmaster
Nathan Silverthorn. a com-
puter science freshman. said
everyone is welcome.

There are a couple of
members of the Anime club
at Eastern Kentucky Univer—
sity and a sister club. Miska-
tonic Student Union. Silver-
thorn said.

Miskatonic is a role play-
ing game organization on
campus.

Two members of the
Anime club at Eastern Ken-
tucky University also try to
get to the UK club‘s meet-
ings.

“There are members
that go back and forth. some
that come to EKU and some
that go to the AMUK meet-
ings," said Justin Hoffman. a
music education sophomore
and EKU Anime member.

Sean Samuels, a police
administration junior at
EKU, said that there are
many Anime-related groups
at universities all over the re-
gion and the country

For Anime newbies out
there. Linares recommended
strolling into the nearest
video store where popularity
of the genre is evident with
sections often dedicated to
different kinds of Anime.

Surfing the Internet is
also a great way to get
hooked. he said.

“You have to realize that
what reaches America is
only about five percent of
what‘s out there. and the In-
ternet is a perfect way to dis-
cover new sorts of Anime."
said Linares.

Silverthorn. who became
the club's Webmaster this se-
mester, said the Internet fans
the ﬂames of the Anime cul-
ture explosion.

AMUK has partnered
with other groups such as the
Miskatonic Student Union to
promote Japanese animation
and to have a good time.

They have participated
in UKON. which is the
Miskatonic Student Union's
annual Pen & Paper RPG
Convention. The convention
involves various games. a
dealers room. and an anime
and video game room.

Also, the Japanese stud-
ies program and the Asia
Center at UK would be hav-
ing film showings and semi-
nars throughout the spring
semester.

just as much as he respects

does take up a lot of time."
But Monroe said he hopes
the tradition will continue.
“If I went to that extreme
if I painted my whole body
A. then they maybe would
paint their faces or some-

thing. I really hope that it will
encourage other people to do
it." he said.

Frasier noted that it's
about a ﬁve-hour ordeal each
time: an hour before the
game for painting. two hours
of game time and two hours
afterwards to get cleaned up.
It can also be expensive for
all of that paint. he said.

The time and effort put in
by these ardent fans has
rubbed off on some of the
Rupp Arena faithful. they say

“At the Florida game. I

saw like five other people
painted." Monroe said.

So. school pride isn't just
limited to them.

“Last year. one girl paint-
ed up. and it was like we did-
n’t even exist. Everyone was
staring at her." jokes Mon-
roe.

"More girls should defi-
nitely do it."

Frasier added that if
there were a “legacy" to con-
tinue now that they are leay»
ing. other fans would have
to keep the passion alive.

build concentration and in-

breathing practices. both of
which can be relaxing. The
full body scan is the practice
of moving awareness system-
atically through various parts
of the body.

The breathing practices
focus on breath awareness in
either the abdominal or nos-
tril area.

In the final four weeks.
group members begin
“Mindfulness Meditation."
This is the practice of bring-
ing one's attention to the pre~
sent moment without judg-
ing one's experiences in the
present moment.

“Often. we're not in the
moment experiencing our
lives. Generally. We're too
busy thinking. judging. ana-
lyzing. and planning our

lives rather than fully experi-
encing the moment." Dennis
said. "Mindfulness can teach
us to be more fully present in
our lives."

She said it is helpful to
come without any precoir
