UK Parking spends $73,000 on three SUVs

By Dariush Shata

THE KENTUCKY KiRNﬂ

UK Parking and Trans
portation personnel are pa~
trolling campus in three new
2004 Toyota Highlanders.
which cost a little more than
$73000 to purchase.

While the money does not
come from students‘ tuition,
it does come from the money
the department collects
throughout the year. most of
which comes from parking
permits.

UK officials said that be
cause of the types of jobs
they do with their cars. they
didn't have much leeway in
selecting vehicles.

“Due to the nature of our
work. I don't see what other
options we have." said Don
Thornton. director of park
ing anrl transportation ser-

bought the four-wheel-drive
sport utility vehicles at
$24,358 each. The three SUVs
replace a pair of nine-year
old vehicles we a Chevrolet
Astro van and a Chevrolet S-
10 pick-up truck from the
service fleet.

The department current~
ly has eight other vehicles in
service. The Highlanders
along with an Astro. a
Chevrolet Blazer SUV. a
GMC Sonoma truck and a
Ford Explorer SUV are
equipped with four-wheel
drive.

Two other GMC Sonoma
trucks. another Chevrolet
Astro and a Ford Ranger
truck are equipped with
standard two-wheel drive.

Though other SUVs. such
as the Pontiac Vibe. were
considered, Thornton said
the deciding factor in the end

tainly had a lot to do with it.“
Thornton said. "Once we
looked at consumer reports
versus other vehicles. it was
easy to decide."

UK’s purchasing depart-
ment conducted a bid
process with local car dealer-
ships and ended tip buying
the Highlanders from the
lowest bidder Toyota
South in Richmond. Ky.

now in use by the parking

Ross Duncliffe said he discov
ered stand-up comedy by accident

right along with a whole new in-
teresting set of words.

“When l was about five years
old. my dad bought a Billy Joel
tape.” recounted the communica-
tionsjunior and host of UK‘s Come-
dy Caravan shows. “But when he
put it in the tape player. it wasn‘t
Billy Joel: it was Eddie Murphy’s
‘Delirious' probably the most fa.
motis comedy routine that he‘s
done."

And yes. Murphy used all kinds
of words Billy .loel would surely
never use.

That of course explains why
Duncliffe kept the tape in "a secret
hiding place" in the family base-
ment.

"1 was listening to it." Duncliffe
said. “and I could tell that he was
making people laugh. but I didn‘t
know what standup comedy was.

"And 1 definitely knew that they
were ‘bad words'” he said. "I was
just shocked that somebody was ac-
tually allowed to say that. But that
shaped my vocabulary from a
young age."

Duiicliffe's interest in comedy
continued as he grew older. and in
July 1998. seeing (‘hris Rock per-
form convinced him he had to try
his hand at it.

”i was watching (‘hris Rock on
television. and I just decided: I
think I could do that." he said.

"The first time l got on stage
was May of 2000. at the (‘omedy
(‘aravan in Louisville." during
open-mic sessions. Duncliffe said.
“Then the second time. a week lat-
er. at (‘omedy Off Broadway in Les
iiigtoii. I did a different five-minute
bit. and i still made a lot of people
laugh."

But then
horrible.

“1 got onstage." he said. “and I
tried a third different routine.
and I completely bombed out? And
for the next ten times on stage. once
again. I wasn‘t getting anything. No
laughs whatsoever"

“It took a while to get back on
the horse." Duiicliffe said. Tlic
laughs started coming back at
about his eleventh try

He learned he didn't have to say
something new every time Other
comedians. he said. had spent prob»

After two semesters of Tues-

“The series is going so well

"It's paid for by the Student

“Especially with a large

The ice storm in Febru

Political science profes-

agree with the purchase.

“I think it‘s a terrible

make this choice." he said
“SUVs do absolutely nothing
to help the US out in energy
and independence. The I‘m-

be something of a role mod

Yanarella said that the
university's priorities in pur-

“not quite so ostentatious "

‘Fable’:

Fable. the long awaited
and much debated offering
from Peter Molyneux's Lion-
head Studios Ltd.. was ﬁnally
released this month. and I'm
thoroughly pleased with the
results. It stands as the epito-
me of the action-RPG genre
with simple. intuitive con-
trols. a small ~ but effective
—— cadre of magic spells and
a tried~and-true story with a
nice sense of humor.

Fable takes your generic
young hero and
pitches him face-first
into the realm of Al-
bion where he must
take up the role of ei-
ther the heroic do.
gooder or the
essence of corrup-
tion.

Essentially. every
action you take af-
fects your alignment
in some way; you re-
ceive evil and good
points for each deed
and those in turn determine
your alignment.

Personally. I loved the
changes my character went
through on his way to becom-
ing a true champion of the
depraved. slowly changing
from a fairly normal-looking
youth into a horned beast-
man with glowing red eyes
and cloven feet.

The Hero (initially re-
ferred to as Chicken Chaser)
is also judged based on

are). attractiveness (hey. baby

,. look at me) and scariness
(oogieboogie-boo). All of this
affects how the non-player
characters within the game
react to you. whether they
fall immediately in love with
Chicken Chaser. mock him
mercilessly or run screaming
in the opposite direction at
the slightest provocation.

There are many things to
do to while away your time
in Albion. as opposed to actu-
ally completing quests to fur-
ther the game.

rent out property.

cal stores. consume

eat until obesity. kill
abstract villagers.
cross~dress and fart
yourself mindless
(yes. you have the
ability to fart and
belch at will: the tru-
ly vile can ﬂy the
bird. curse and perform vul-
gar crotch thrusts).

True. most of this is juve-
nile. but it is highly amusing.

The gameplay works won-
derfully. Combat and interac-
tions are streamlined and al-
low you to go from hacking at
a foe's head with your obsidi-
an greataxe to frying him
with a lightning blast with
amazing ease.

The selection of magic is
rather small. but each spell
serves its purpose well and
has four different levels of

power.

Weapon selection is fairly
decent. with the two basic
categories of ranged and
melee and several different
types within those. including
mace. axe. katana.
greatsword. longbow and
crossbow and different mate-
rial types within those cate~
gories.

Clothing and armor op-
tions are also quite extensive
with items ranging from sim-
ple villager trousers to dress
gloves to dark chainmail
boots (to crush ﬂowers un-
derfoot).

The game is ﬂexible
enough to allow for a couple
of different styles of play.
You can go with either a
straight melee-based charac
ter or opt to play a will (read:
magic) using character. or
you can mix and match to
your heart‘s content.

But there is a law in
physics that for every action
there is a reaction. and the fes-
tival played out like an an-
guished and earnest rebuttal to
the fantabulous success (and.
according to these conservative
filmmakers. lies) of Michael
Moore and his ($200 million in
international box ofﬁce and
climbing) anti-Bush assault
Fahrenheit .9111.

Moore played a starring
role in four of the documen-
taries screened to several hun-
dred attendees: In Michael
Moore Hates America. de-
scribed by ﬁlmmaker Mike
Wilson as his “devastating ex-
pose of real people exploited by
Moore to make a buck." In Cel
sins 41.11. or "the temperature
at which the brain begins to
die.“ directed by David Bossie

group Citizens United. In talk

ﬁts of gun ownership. And ﬁ-
nally. in Confronting [mg by
Roger Amnoff of the group Ac-
curacy in Media. which used a
PowerPoint~like construction
in its attempt to deﬂate Moore
and “the bitter left" peaoeniks
and Kerry's “cut and run" pres-
idential candidacy.

The festival was organized
by husband-wife duo Jason
Apuzzo and Govindini Murry
and underwritten by the Foun-
dation for Free Markets. which
likes privatizing Social Securi-
ty. cutting taxes and issuing
school vouchers.

The foundation's leader.
Paul Harberger. applauded the
“courage and conviction“ of
Apuzzo and Murty and an-

effects. I did experience some
major slow-down at times.
which is strange for an XBox
game.

Aside from slow-downs.
the only major gripe I have is
the game‘s length. Some may
ﬁnd it too short , if you sim-
ply play the quests out and
don‘t bother with the extra-
neous details. you can blast
through it in about 13 or 14
hours. That's a far cry from
the 80-plus involved with
most Final Fantasy games.

Overall. Fable is an amaz-
ing game. It combines the
best elements of games like
The Legend of Zelda and
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
and somehow manages to
add even more. Length and
slow-down notwithstanding.
Fable is a must-own XBox
game and belongs in your li
brary with Halo. Prince of
Persia." The Sands of Time
and Star Wars: Knights of
the Old Republic.

despise “mainstream Ameri
