Just
dreaming

Imagine if you had a car
that could go the
speed of light. Think
of all the
possibilities. Here are
the top cool things
about a car that goes
faster than the speed
of light:

Sleep ‘til noon. Still get
to work by 8 am!

Always beat the next car
off the light.

Doppler shift makes red
traffic lights look
green.

Breaking laws oi physics
only a misdemeanor
in most states.

Never in car long enough
to hear an entire
Madonna song.

Carl Sagan and Stephen
Hawking keep
bugging you to
carpool.

No one can see you pick
your nose while you
drive.

Experiments. such as “If
you are driving at the
speed of light and
throw a ball forward
in the car, how fast
is the ball going?"
can finally be
answered.

Some cars have nice
wheels and exhaust
systems. You have
warped panels from
heat caused by drag.

Lunch breaks in Paris,
circa 1792.

LA. to Vegas in Z
nanoseconds.

You can stop worrying
about being sucked
into a black hole
driving home from
work.

You'll be so thin while
driving it you can
even wear horizontal
stripes.

That deer in your
headlights is actually
behind you.

Kid from Mentos
commercial almost
guaranteed to lose a
limb if he tries to
duck through back
seat.

Traffic enforcement
limited to cops with
Ph.D.'s in Quantum
Physics.

Bugs never see you
comin'.

Can make a fortune
delivering pizza with
the slogan "It's there
before you hang up
or it's free!"

Car makes it from
Hollywood to London
fast enough to not
arouse suspicions of
Elizabeth Hurley.

Chicks dig it.

Elfin to appear on radio show

Give him a call: SGA President Jimmy Glenn will be on
WRFL's Campus Voices to listen to the student body

By Jill Gorin

NEWS EDITOR

Students who have a bone to pick
about anything at UK will have their
chance to express their problems on the
radio.

Students will be able to voice their
concerns on Wednesday to their Student
Government President Jimmy Glenn.

Glenn will be on WRFL radio to listen

to student complaints and answer any
questions they want to raise.

"We want feedback from students and
ideas for SGA." he said. “Hopefully we can
clear up some problems that students
have."

And there are plenty of areas students
think need improvement.

Meghan Jones. an undeclared fresh-
man. is frustrated with parking.

“There‘s no convenient place for peo-

ple to come as guests to visit during the
week." said Meghan Jones. an undeclared
freshman.

David Mansbery. a mechanical engi-
neering sophomore had several concerns.
including some acts of free speech.

“I don't like it when they hand out
those flyers." he said. “No one really wants
them.“

Mansbery also expressed his concern
about speakers in front of the Student Cen-
ter.

“When I‘m walking from Patterson ()f—
fice Tower. I don‘t like those speakers" in
the free speech area. he said.

Some students have problems with
residence life on campus.

“I would like our rooms to be cleaner."
said (‘liristen Smith. a journalism fresh
man. “()ut bathroom has hugs."

Glenn said those are exactly the things
he hopes to fix.

"It's little things like that SGA doesn't
hear about." he said. "We can jump on the
phone and get it taken care of.“

European

pastries for
exotic eats

International fare: Continuing a yearly
tradition, two clubs host Euro cafe week

By Brian Yong
STAFF WRITER

If candied confections appeal to your fancy. your prayers
are answered.

The Cosmopolitan Club and the International Hospitality
Program are co-sponsoring the European Pastry Cafe this
week in room 245 of the Student Center from 10 am. to 4 pm.
each day.

“It provides the perfect opportunity for people on campus
to savor the different cuisines," said Nancy Davis. social
chairperson from the International Hospitality Program.

Delicacies from France. Germany and Austria include
the Mocha Torte from France. a yellow cake with coffee and
butter cream filling. and the Grenache. also from France,
with smooth toffee atop bittersweet chocolate set in pecan
shell. The Granache is a favorite among the patrons.

"A lot of our patrons are staff members who return every
year," said Karen Slaymaker. the student adviser for the Of-
fice of International Affairs. _

The pastries are ordered from a bakery in Cincinnati and
the Student Center. There will be 33 volunteers helping to
serve customers.

This event is a fund-raiser for the club. a student organi-
zation for international and American students.

“We hope to heighten international awareness. and. just
as importantly. people can enjoy a cup of coffee amidst the
surroundings.“ said Charlene Leach. immigration assistant
of the office.

The room has been decorated with posters of European
countries. Flowers rest in vases on tables with red and white
striped tablecloths. Irish music completes the background.

Carolyn Holmes, foreign student adviser of the Cos-
mopolitan Club. knows the cafe is a hot commodity for stu-
dents and staff alike.

“Based on past years‘ receptions, it fills up during lunch
hour. and it is also very popular for the language classes." she
said.

Wold apathy by
becoming a volunteer

Community involvement: Lend a
hand and eliminate stereotypes

By Andrea Noe
STAFF WRITER

Typical stereotypes about college students depict
us as being apathetic and unconcerned about our com
munity. Want to prove those stereotypes wrong? Vol
unteer.

UK has oodles of volunteer opportunities.

Dee Jones. coordinator of Community Initiative at
the College of Education. needs more volunteers to
help children with reading and math skills at local
schools.

Both students and those they often help benefit
from volunteering. Jones said.

Some UK students have already been involved in
these volunteer projects.

“The best part is getting to know different people.
working with kids. because that's what I want to do
anyway." said Krista Davis. an elementary education
junior.

Jones explained that volunteering can help stu-
dents see what they can do with their undergraduate
degrees.

Students' plans could even change after volunteer-
ing, she said.

Volunteering can also have practical benefits for
students. said Leonard Radomile. project coordinator.

Students from the College of Education can get ex-
perience in their field through the program. and the el-
ementary school will be hiring students later. he said.

Students can also find volunteer opportunities
through the Service Learning program. said Louise

Stone. director of l‘lxperiential Education.

The program allows students to "connect what
they're learning with what they volunteer" and work
with faculty members to volunteer for projects that re
late to their studies. she said.

Stone has seen more interest develop in Service
Learning.

”It‘s more like we‘re planting seeds on campus.
and they‘re sprouting up everywhere." she said.

Despite this kind of interest in volunteer work.
Jones still faces a low number of volunteers.

"It's sad. because we all owe something to the cont
munity." she said.

Jones said that the belief that volunteer work is
limited to (‘ollege of Education students and the
amount of time needed for volunteer work may keep
some students from getting involved.

“Everybody in the world is a teacher. Teaching lit-
tle kids is not the responsibility of teachers only." she
said.

Iran reformers win key seats

TEHRAN, lran — Reformists led in voting
for most of Tehran‘s parliament seats Monday
and looked set to sweep there - a victory that
would guarantee them a parliamentary majority
with dozens of other seats still left to be decided
nationwide. The results sent a clear message to
the hard-line clergy that Iranians are fed up with
their 21-year restrictive rule that dictates day-to
day lives. They were also an endorsement of
President Mohamed Khatami, who has advocat-
ed dismantling many social and political restric‘

Evangelist,
phflosopher
debate on god

ls too, is not: Little to no progress made
at forum to argue on existence of creator

By Brian Granger

SlAi’F MRliER

Speakers protesting the existence of a creator can always be
found at the Free Speech Platform outside of the Student Center.

Last week. Ken Jones. a traveling evangelist had a debate
with Kevin Harrelson. a doctoral candidate in the philosophy
department.

Jones took the stance that behind everything there has to be
something that created it. such as a chair.

“We can see that there is a chair. Therefore there had to be
somebody who made that chair." Jones said. “You are in denial
of the obvious if you think that the chair could just appear with-
out somebody making it. This is how an intelligent designer cre-
ated the earth 7 and everything within it."

Harrelson, defending atheists. said that nobody can prove
that an intelligent creator exists.

“Our knowledge is limited to what we can see." Harrelson
said. “We don't know everything there is. and. therefore. every-
thing that is has a cause."

About 100 people showed up at the Student Center for the
debate. and they had different opinions on the speakers.

“It was obvious that Jones attempted to transform a formal
debate into a personal tirade against Harrelson and other open-
minded logisticians." said Alan Hampton. a political science
sophomore.

“I was entertained by Jones' antics. but was not impressed
with his over-exaggerated and unconvincing proofs for the exis-
tence of a God."

Other people in attendance had different thoughts on the de-
bate.

“I don‘t know why such a debate was needed when you can
open your Bible and see that God exists." said Andrew Fleming,
a civil engineering junior.

Unlike most religious debates that take place at the Free
Speech Platform. Jones did not open a Bible to use as his proof.
He used logical thought to try and prove what he was saying.
however, he did make it a personal vendetta to attack Harrelson
and other atheists.

“We must address the comments of the dumb atheist."
Jones said.

Despite the two-and-a-half hour debate, it was still obvious
that the discussion on the existence of a god will continue.

Great acting and
timing aren't enough
to save ‘Nine Yards'

By Matt Mulcahey
ASSISTANT SCENE [DIIOR

Whoever said “imitation is
the sincerest form of flattery"
never saw The Whole Nine
Yards.

A shoddy collage of
reusable plot lines and card»
board cut out characters, The
Whole Nine Yards wallows in
unoriginality due to its patch-
work script and trite dialogue.

It‘s almost as if the screen-
play was drawn up from some
blueprint they give out in a
screenwriting class for situa-
tion comedy: A normal. every-
day guy (insert your “average
Joe“ occupation here) has his
life turned upside down when
(insert kooky neighbor here)
moves in next door. Hilarity en-
sues.

In this case. the ordinary
guy is Nicolas “Oz" Oseransky
(Matthew Perry). an American
dentist living in Montreal. and
the neighbor is Jimmy ”the
Tulip“ Tudeski (Bruce Willis).
a hit man-in-hiding. ()2 is un-
happily married to a woman
who promises him a divorce if
he collects the reward offered
on Tudeski's head offered by
Chicago gangster Yanni Gogo-
lack.

The rest of the movie is
filled with doublecrosses you
see coming a mile away and ro-
mances that never approach
authenticity.

PHOTO FURNISHED

The always funny Matthew Perry turns in another humorous performance
alongside touohquy Bruce Willis and well-built Amanda Feet.

The worst of these ro-
mances is between Perry and
Tudeski's wife. played by
Natasha Henstridge. Perry and
llenstridge have zero chem-
istry. and people don‘t fall in
love in ten minutes. It just isn't
possible. But a few drinks and
corny comeons later ("I think
you‘re the most beautiful
woman I’ve ever seen." I'm
sure that's never been used be-
fore) and they're counting ceilr
ing tiles and professing their
undying love.

The romance between
Willis and a receptionist—
turnedhit woman works a little
better due to Amanda Peet's en-
gaging performance. However.
her nudity is the most random
I've seen since Kevin Bacon
flopped around all over the
place in Wild Things.

In both cases. though. it
feels like these characters are

in love merely because the
script requires it.

The only reprieve in The
Whole Nine Yards comes from
the casting. Which is surprising
considering Matthew Perry and
Bruce Willis always play the
same characters. Perry with his
neurotic. nebbish Woody Allen
impersonation and Willis as a
soft-spoken. wisecracking tough
guy who‘s seen way too many
Clint Eastwood movies.

But these characters are
perfect for the parts. The best
moments in the film come pure-
ly front their comic timing. It's
not the flat one-liners that get
the laughs. it's the way they‘re
delivered.

Although Perry and Willis
are enjoyable. if The ll'lro/e.\'1'ne
Yards were judged on originali»
ty. it would come up about nine
yards short.

 A land far away

Mambazo
provides
glimpse at
South Africa

Last night the African
Student Association
and the Student
Activities Board
brought Ladysmith
Black Mambazo to
campus.

The idea for the South
African a cappella
mbube choir started
in 1964, when the
group's founder,
chief composer and
lead singer, Joseph
Shabalala, began
experimenting with
various types of
native singing.

The Zulu word Mambazo
means axe - a
reference to how the
group would
regularly “chop
down" competition at
regional music
contests.

We have
always
said, 'We
want this
music to
touch

people's
lives all
over the
world."’

- Mdletshe Albert
Mazibuk,
Mambazo member
since T969

To learn more about the
group, check out:

The T9605 South African
climate under which
Ladysmith Black
Mambazo began is
distinctly different
from the South Africa
of today. Below is a
little of the nation's
history.

I652

The Dutch East India
Company set up a
station in Table Bay
(Cape Town) to
supply passing ships
with provisions.

1795

The British initially
seized the Cape
Colony during the
Napoleonic Wars as a
desirable, strategic
base controlling the
sea route to the East.
lt was retaken in
1803 and kept in the
post-war settlement
of territorial claims.

1899 - 1902

The Anglo-Boer War took
place between the
natives and the
British regime.

I913

The Black Land Act was
enacted by the first
Union Government.
which signified the
formal beginning of
segregation and
apartheid in South
Africa.

i994

South Africa held its first
democratic election
in the April of this
year under an interim
constitution. Nelson
Mandela won the
presidency.

Playing by the rules

National Republican Party should investigate why South
Carolina GOP had closed polls during Saturday’s primary

This past Saturday. as voters turned
out in large numbers determined to
change the future via the South Carolina
presidential primaries. many were re-
minded of a not-so-distant past.

Many voters ready to cast their ballots
showed up at their official polling sites
only to find the sites closed.

South Carolina’s Republican Party
promised last week that all state-designat-
ed polling places would be open for its pri-
mary in the tightly contested running be-
tween George W. Bush and John McCain.
However. by late Thursday afternoon. it
was decided 300 of the polling locations
would not be open on Saturday morning.

This despite a federal court order
made the previous Monday that
ruled that the exact opposite
should take place.

As a result of the problems
arising from these closings and
consolidations of polling sites
around the state. Sen. McCain is
demanding a “full investigation" by
the national Republican Party leadership.
McCain is completely right to do so.

Whether Gore. Bush. Bradley. McCain
or anyone else was affected negatively by
the inability of voters to get to the polls is
not the real issue at stake.

Instead. the core problem is that there
was an inability for prospective voters
to get to their designated polling spots
to begin with.

Political parties do enjoy a certain de-
gree of freedom from government. After
all. they are organizations that are consti.
tutionally independent of our actual
political system.

However. the public. government and
the political parties themselves are all bet-
ter served by providing as many people

the opportunity to vote as possible.

The South Carolina GOP either disre-
garded or conveniently ignored the
decision of the federal court and discour-
aged the voters in many urban South
Carolina areas.

In Greenville, SC. alone, 21 of 139
precincts were “consolidated" Friday af-
ternoon. In Columbia. more than 100 peo-
ple showed up at their church to vote. only
to be told their polling site was now a
middle school. and they weren’t even giv-
en directions or an address for the
new location.

These kinds of tactics. whether
planned or coincidence. are

downright appalling. For the first

time in years, the primaries have

an interesting. dare we say, ex-

citing tone to them. Unfortu-

nately. mistakes and questions

of freezing out voters can only

taint the idea of electing a fair

and qualified leader for this

country. Decreasing voter turnout

and increasing apathy has been a cause
for concern among many over the years.

However. when state party leaders
show a lack of concern for equal opportu-
nity in voting. even when the people are
standing at the polls. it advances the no-
tion that they would rather the majority of
people stay disinterested in politics in the
first place.

If the national leaders of the GOP want
to do what is right for the country. or even
its constituents as a whole. it will investi-
gate this matter fully.

The investigation would not be for
John McCain. though. It would be for
every man and woman that took time out
to show an interest in the party only to be
turned away.

Death penalty does not work

To the editor:

1 wish i could ask every governor. state legislator. Supreme
Court Justice. presidential candidate. member of Congress and
voter the following question: Would you be in favor of the death
penalty if your child or spouse were found guilty of a capital
crime? A yes or no answer would suffice.

When considering the death penalty. i wonder how many
politicians who say they are followers of Christ ask the WWJD
question. “What would Jesus do?" The death penalty is barbar-
ic. has been proven to be no deterrent and should be abolished
in our country. For capital offenses. l favor life in prison with
no possibility of parole.
