Financial aid needs to be a focus

Celebrating 33 years of independence

By Tricia McKenny
iiiiittiiiu’cilr Kilian

Students are no longer required
to have previous experience in Stir
dent Government to run for SC
president, after 80 approved a con.
stitutional amendment last night.

The SC constitution previously
required one year of service in 80
in order for a student to run for a
“chief leadership position.“ includ-
ing 80 president and vice presi-
dent.

The amendment, which re-
ceived initial approval after its first
reading Jan. 19 and final approval
last night. changes this experiential
clause and says that an individual
running for a leadership position.
“shall be a member of Student Gov-
ernment."

According to the SG Constitu-
tion. all students at UK. LCC and
the Medical Center Campus are

 

members of the Student Govern-
ment Association of UK and are
members of SC.

The amendment was sponsored
by Senator at Large Becky
Ellingsworth and College of Busi-
ness and Economics Senator Ben
Carter. who both have said they
hope the amendment will open SG
up to students and make it available
to more students. Ellingsworth is
running for president this year.

“It is good for the organization
to open up to all students. and (the
amendment) is something we
should all vote for.“ Ellingsworth
said to the senators.

Several 80 members have men-
tioned opening 80 up and provid-
ing opportunities for more students
as a goal by several SG members
this year. and last night 80 ap~
proved a resolution that some mem-
bers hope will provide this opportu-
nity.

80 approved a special projects
resolution last night. “The Wildcat
Innovation Fellowship." that will
award up to tWo $1.500 fellowships
to students.

The fellowship is open to all
graduate and undergraduate stu-
dents who will be attending UK in
the Fall 2005 semester. except for SO
officials.

Students who have ideas for im-
proving any aspect of UK are asked
to write a three- to five-page essay
outlining the problem and the pro-
posed solution.

Up to five finalists will be select-
ed and each finalist will be required
to make a presentation describing
their project to the Wildcat Innova-
tion Fellowship Selection Commit.
tee on March 1.

The selection committee is
made up of SC senators and offi-
cials from all three branches of 80.

Up to two winners will be select-

 

 

ed by the committee who will be re-
quired to work with 80 officials
during the month of April to devel-
op their project and create a plan of
action.

If all of these conditions are
met. the award money will be ap-
plied to the students' tuition for the
Fall 2005 semester and next year‘s
SG council will provide funding to
implement the new program. said
Ellingsworth. the resolution‘s spon-
SOY.

“The committee will be looking
for the most feasible. beneficial idea
from the students who seem the
most committed (to implementing
their plan)." Ellingsworth said.

Applications for the fellowship
can be picked up in the 80 offices
beginning Monday and are due at
noon Feb. 2.5.

Bush details plan for Social Security reform

By Michael A. Fletcher and Peter Baker
iHE wisemoion P051

WASHINGTON President Bush
last night called for a historic restruc-
turing of Social Security that would al-
low younger workers for the first time
to invest some of their payroll taxes in
the stock market. declaring in his an»
nual State of the Union address that
without change the venerable program
is headed toward bankruptcy.

Speaking to a joint session of Coti-
gross and a national television audi-
ence. Bush sketched out in more detail
than before the top domestic goal of
his second term but stopped short of
providing a complete blueprint to
leave himself negotiating room with
skeptical lawmakers.

Under his plan. workers younger
than 55 could divert up to 4 percent of
income subject to Social Security taxa-
tion into private investment accounts
beginning in 2009.

With Social Security as its center
piece. the address laid out an excep-

tionally ambitious agenda as Bush
gears up for another four years. one
that will challenge powerful
constituencies and test the
capacity of a president re
elected with a bare majority
to simultaneously wage war
abroad and transform gov-
ernment at home.

v"Fixing Social Security
permanently will require an
open. candid review of the
options." Bush said. "I know
that none of these reforms
would be easy But we have to
move ahead with courage
and honesty. because our
children's retirement securi-
ty is more important that
partisan politics."

tions in Iraq and vowing a new effort
to make peace between Israelis and
Palestinians. Bush also promised to

Vatican mulls pontiff ’s illness, future

By Janice D'Arcy
nit BAUINORE sun

As Catholics worldwide offered
prayers for the recovery of Pope John
Paul II Wednesday. church scholars said
the Vatican may eventually have to
grapple publicly with legal and moral
questions about the pontiff's potential
incapacitation and efforts to keep him
alive if his condition deteriorates.

“()ne of the great difficulties in
dealing with life-sustaining treatment
is that one cannot guess all the circum
stances that can arise." said .lohn
Haas. president of the National
(Tatholic Bioethics Center.

Discussion of a pope‘s death was
once considered taboo in the Roman
Catholic (‘hurch But given the ill-
year-old pontiff's longdtx‘lining health

he suffers from Parkinson‘s disease
and debilitating arthritis it's now
unavoidable.

His current illness is a respiratory
ailment that developml from the llu. ac
cording to the Vatican. Wilt'l‘t‘ aides said
his health was improving yesterday at
The (‘remelli l‘olyclinic in Rome. He was
rushed to the hospital late Tuesday
night when he had difficulty breathing.

The Church has an elalmrate proto
col for funeral rituals and succession
procedures that follow a pope's death.

But if the pope were to fall into a coma.

The Robinson Scholars
program has had to cut the
number of scholarships of-
fered. but administrators
said the program is not in
danger

“We looked at our long-
term financial situation.
and we know we don‘t have
an endless pool of re
sources." said Brad Goan.
the program director.

The Robinson Scholars
program. which began in
1997. has experienced a
lack of funding. Sale of
timber from Robinson For
est funds the scholarship
program. The program.
which covers 29 counties in

ber of students has been re-

cuts to the program. it still
provides a high level of ser-
vice to students. and he
stressed that the program
is not in danger of ending.

”The notion has been
that it will either be mining
the forest or a loss of the
program this is not so."

UK will probably begin
its logging experiments in
Robinson Forest in the
spring of 2006. said t‘hris
Barton. an assistant profes-
sor in the Department of
Ft ircst ry

“Our current research
in the area will be finished
in October of this year. but
we will more than likely
wait until next spring so
that we can study the har-
vesting in the eight water

ton said.

The cutting. officially
known as the Streamside
Management Zone. was ap-
proved and discussed con-
currently with the compre-
hensive plan for Robinson
Forest. which was ap
proved in 2004 by the UK
Board of Trustees.

The current research.
Barton said. will be used to
determine if the results
seen after the harvesting
are the effects of the tree
loss or natural phenome-
non.

He said that the re
search is designed to test
the current regulations put
on timber harvesting oper-
ations. The objective is to
see if those regulations are
suitable for Kentucky‘s
forests. The current regula~
tions determine. for exam-
ple. how many trees must
be left surrounding
streams.

“The study is really
about the trees that will be
left behind in the water
sheds. not those that will be
harvested." Barton said.

The goal was to develop
a comprehensive manage-
ment plan for the forest.
said Scott Smith. dean of
the (‘ollege of .-\griculture.

“If you look at the long-
term plan. it was a decision
on what we will do with
this valuable piece of prop—
erty." said Smith.

Smith said that the de-
bate over preservation of
the forest and mining was
settled and that UK had
chosen a middle ground of
research and no mining.

said little about North Korea. which has
been building its own nuclear weapons
program and was part of Bush‘s origi-
nal “axis of evil" that he mentioned in
his State of the Union address three
years ago.

The president also called for greater
fiscal discipline. as he prepared the na-
tion for a budget proposal that will vir-
tually freeze discretionary spending not
related to the military or homeland se-
curity. In addition. Bush called for an
initiative led by first lady Laura Bush to

discourage young people from falling
into gang life. He also announced plans
to provide special training for defense
lawyers in death penalty cases. and he
called for expanded use of DNA cvi~
dence to prevent wrongful convictions.
Bush reiterated his support for a
constitutional amendment banning
same-sex marriage. an issue that he had
wavered on. citing Senate opposition
since his rc-election. “For the good of
families. children and society l support
a constitutional amendment to protect
the institution of marriage." he said.

Bush on matters of principle. “We will

Senate Minority Leader Harry Ri‘ld. I)-

Reid signaled that Social Security was

ings. But that doesn't mean taking Social
Security's guarantee and gambling with
it. And that's coming from a senator who
represents Las Vegas." he said.

Bush‘s plan to restructure Social Se-
curity faces near unanimous opposition
from congressional Democrats. who see
the program as one of their party‘s
most enduring legislative legacies. Re-
publican lawmakers. meanwhile. have
approached the issue cautiously. wor-
ried that voters would turn on them if
they believe that Republicans are cut-

WASHINGTON The
Bush administration‘s claim
this week that North Korea
appears to have been the stip-
plier of converted uranium
to Libya is based on evidence
that could just as easily point
to Pakistan. a key US. ally. as
the source. according to ana-
lysts and officials familiar
with the data.

Two senior staffers of the
National Security Council
have toured China. Japan
and South Korea in recent
days to brief top officials that
US. scientific tests strongly
suggest North Korea provid~
ed Libya with uranium hexa-
floride gas. which can be
processed into material for a
nuclear weapon. Their trip
came as US. officials are try-

FLY 0“ THE "Al-'- I feelin' the buzz
Pickles, spice and everything nice

If you‘ re anything like
me you love sandwiches and
you’re sick of the same 01‘
sub shop.

Lately.
I‘ve been
looking for
something
more. A
place where
I could sit
c o m f o r t -
ably and
talk with
my com-
panions
about how
good the
food was in-
stead of complaining about
how much I spent and how
little I received.

Thankfully
such a place.

It's easy to see that this
eatery is different before you
look at the menu. Although
it’s about the same size as
your average sandwich shop,
I'm certain this is the only
place you‘ll find a green six—
seat table shaped like a pick-
le. And instead of obnoxious-
ly bold colors that are sup-
posed to make you hungry.
patrons can relax in the post-
modern decor done in ma-
roon. maize. cadet blue and.
of course, a flat pickle green.

My first visit was an eye
opener. I felt a little over-
whelmed by all the options
and the line of people behind
me made me feel a little
rushed. but I quickly found
something I wanted with the
help of the cashier.

One patron had a similar
first experience.

“The customer service

KENNEL COLUMNIST

I've found

I ll definitely be back."

The menu advises cus-
tomers to first decide to have
either a sub or a panini.

For a sub. you then
choose from the 14 different
meats offered. including mor-
tadella (a type of bologna),
capocolla (ham) and pastra-
mi or decide to fill your sub
with vegetables.

Then. pick your bread:
White. wheat. filone or focac-
Cia.

And as if that wasn’t dif-
ficult enough. you then have
to choose from their selec-
tion of 12 different cheeses.
21 toppings and 16 mouth—wa-
tering spreads to create your
sandwich -— that works out
to 17,000 different sandwich
combinations.

If you choose a panini.
you can pick from nine spe-
cialty sandwiches designed
to please a variety of tastes.
Every panini is served on fo-
caccia bread and can be cus-
tomized.

Not in the mood for a
sandwich? You can also
choose one of six salads to
satisfy your appetite.

I liked that the prices of
the subs. paninis and salads
were all the same: $5.95.

One patron agreed and
said it was what kept him
coming back.

“The food is good and it‘s
not too expensive." Jack
Chaney. a student at Asbury
Theological Seminary. said.
“You get a really good sand-
wich for the price."

When I went. I chose the
“Double Dilly-yo." pairing
half of an Italian panini
with a Caesar salad and. of
course. a spicy pickle.

The Double Dilly-yo is for
those of us that want it all
for the same price ($5.95).
You can choose half of any

The Spicy Pickle on South Broadway offers a variety of options for the

sandwich connoisseur.

panini or sub with your
choice of soup or salad.

Chaney was right about
something else, too.

“It is a spicy pickle.“ he
said.

To explain my experi-
ence. here‘s some back-
ground: I love pickles. So
much that I can my own in
the summer and use a lot of
garlic and chili peppers.

Before I tried a “spicy
pickle." I thought I was per-
fectly capable of handling
the fiery goodness that the
name promised.

I was grossly mistaken.

One bite started a four-
alarm fire on my tongue. It
even closed my throat a little
like only the hottest of spices
can do.

I was in luck; the Caesar
salad that I ordered was just
what I needed to put the fire
out. The cool romaine leaves
and artichoke hearts soothed
my flaming mouth. The light.
creamy dressing was even
complemented by the heat
and flavor of the pickle.

The Italian panini was
just what I was craving. The
hot sandwich was perfect for
the cold weather and the
basil mayo spread reminded
me of a delicious pesto sauce
that complemented the meats
and cheese in the best of
ways.

My only complaint is that
there is only one location in
Lexington.

Their Sign out front
summed up the experience:
“Come be invigorated. Tempt
your taste buds at the Spicy
Pickle."
