CELEBRATING 35 YEARS OF INDEPENDENCE

 

UK to examine cost, feasibility of partner benefits

By Sean Rose
srose@kykernel.com

UK is forming a committee to look
into giving domestic partner benefits to
its faculty and staff. university
spokesman Jay Blanton said yesterday.

UK gives marriage benefits to its
employees. but domestic partner bene-
fits would make them available to un-
married people in long-term relation-
ships. such as homosexual couples.

“The president (UK President Lee
Todd) has said all along that he wants
to look at benefits in a comprehensive
way that makes us more competitive

with the folks we compete with for fac—
ulty and staff." Blanton said. "lf We
want to have a top—20 research institu—
tion. we have to have top-20 pay and
benefits."

The formation of this committee
comes as a response to a "Wt’irk-Life“
survey that about half of UK‘s faculty
and staff completed last school year.
The survey included questions about
employees‘ satisfaction with their job
and role at the university. In the survey
employees listed benefits they would
like to see. including childcare services.
tuition benefits for children and spous~
es. and the domestic partner benefits.

 

Art Museum
opensrnnque

landscape
exhibit

By Katie Saltz

news@kykernTelEom

With pieces spanning neo—classicism. realism
and impressionism. UK Art Museum‘s newest ex—
hibit could practically be considered a French his—
tory lesson. said museum curator Janie Well-(er.

The exhibit. which opened Sunday and runs
through Dcc.l(). features 54 key pieces reflecting
the French artistic revolution. including works by
Claude Monet. Cbarles~Francois Daubigny.
Camille Corot and many of the Barbizon
painters.

The exhibition. titled "A Romance with the
Landscape. Realism to lmpi'essionisiii." is differ‘
cnt from others at the nruscum because all the
pieces were collected regionally through both
public and private dealers. Welker said.

“There were so many landscapes scattered
throughout the region. so we decided to unite
them." Welker said. “It is also different in the as»
pect that this is not a traveling exhibit. This is the
first time in many years that these pieces have all
been displayed together."

“Throughout the l9th century in lirance.
there was so much political and social turmoil."
Wclkcr said. "These artists all wanted to show
the enduring value of the land. They used nature
to represent reflection and quiet in times of
chaos. For the first time in history. artists were
turiring away from painting the past. and they
were going outdoors and painting everyday life."

Running concurrently with the exhibition is a
collection of related American impressionist
pieces. These l8 paintings include works by John
Singer Sargent. Julien Alden Weir and Willard
Metcalf. There are also paintings by two impres-
sionists from Ohio. Wilder Darling and Jesse
Deviney.

"The pieces in the American exhibit show the
development of the style." Wclkcr said. “The
French artists created the landscapes as studies.
They were incomplete pieces. Yet Americans
took them to be highly finished works and repli-
cated that."

Welkcr said there is a much deeper meaning
behind why there were so many French land«
scapes present in Kentucky.

“In the Bluegrass region. we can relate to the
importance of the land.“ she said. “These pieces
reflect a direct response to nature. Many of the
paintings are significant to our region in the as—
pcct that our culture believes in protecting the
natural world.“

Cmdr Paul Sharpness, of the USS Kentucky, spoke at last night 5: memoria! servrne at lmrriaiiuel Baptist
Church The ceremony was ill honor of Victims from the Sept it 200? rittarks‘ arid the Ann 27 tllrlflt" mist

at Blue Grass Airport

The full results from the extensive
survey will be presented to the Board
of Trastees today.

University of Louisville was the
tirst school in Kentucky to include do-
mestic partner benefits: its new benefit
package will be implemented in Janu—
ary.

U of L spokesman John Drees said
his school made the switch because of
the competitive aspects of retaining fac~
ulty and staff.

“The university looked at it from a
couple view points." Drees said.
"We're trying to compete with some of
the best colleges in the country for top

faculty. and we're competing with the
best corporations in Louisville for top
staff."

Drees also said the benefits were an
opportunity to improve their employ—
ees~ lives.

"This is one way we can really take
one burden off their mind." Drees said.

UK is in a similar situation as it
competes for its faculty and staff.

“We are aware of what other insti»
tutions in the state do. but our main fo-
cus is looking at what our benchmark
list is doing." Blanton said. “That‘s
who we‘re recruiting faculty from and
who want to keep from being recruited

away from.“

Many of UK's benchmark schools
offer some form of domestic partner
benefits, including the University of
Florida. Michigan State University and
Ohio State University.

UK isn't prepared to take action on
domestic partner benefits or other bene-
fits mentioned in the survey.

Any new benefits would not be im—
plemented until July 2007 or later. Cost
is among the concems the university is
examining, Blanton said.

“A number of these things in Work-
Life have a cost associated with them."
Blanton said. "We want to take those

Florida comedian learned first jokes growing up in father’s bar

Ellie Fairbanks

efaubanksflikykérhél com

Lord (‘arrett knew from the time he
was a little boy that he wanted to be a
comedian. He just had to figure out
how to make his dream come true.

Carrett. who will be performing this
week in the Cats‘ [)en as a part of the
weekly Comedy Caravan series. grew
up with a love for perfomiing arts.

"When I was a little boy. my dad
owned a bar. and l was always fighting
to stay up late. either to watch the
bands at the bar or to watch whoever
was on (Johnny) C arson." Carrctt said.

As Carrett grew up in Florida. con-
stantly at his dad's bar. he leamcd many
dirty jokes.

“All I knew growing up was filthy

jokes." Carrett said. “When I started
Catholic school. I had to learn how to
clean them up so I didn’t get kicked
out."

Carrett. whose first name comes
from a last name on his mother‘s side
of his family. has been a \ltllltl‘llp comv
ic for over 20 years. He recently ap-
peared for the loth time on the Bob and
Tom Show and his Cl) "Unsweetened"
is in heavy rotation on comedy stations
on XM and Sirius Satellite radio.

While (‘arrctt knew from the tinrc
he was nine years old that he wanted to
be a comedian. he has since found out
that some aspects of this job aren‘t all
they're cracked up to be. (‘arrctt’s tour-
ing schedule makes it hard for him to
be able to stay in the same place for too
long.

Fim issue fm. Subsequent issues 25 cents.

“l'm iust like a trucker hauling
jokes." Carrett said. "I eat nrore incals
behind wheels than a hamster. I‘ve had
about two days (ill in tltt‘ past lltrt‘t‘
weeks."

(‘oiircdy (‘aravatr show are held
every Wednesday in the (‘ats‘ l)cri.
Hosting shows in the middle of the
week makes it easier to draw in big
name acts bccalisc most [X'rlortttttltccs
at major venues arc weekend shows

"Wednesday is not typically a big
comedy night." Stacey Undcrhill. the
events coordinator at the Cat‘s Den.
said. “It's so great that we can have all
of these great comics come perform in
the middle of the week."

Student cimrdinators and other vol-
unteers organize all (‘ats‘ Den activi-
ties The coordinator for (‘omedy (‘ara—

van decides which performers to book
and oversees the promotions and adver»
using for the events. l nderbill said. ,'\ll
actually booking is done thorough an

“They have a great sctup with the
agent in Louisville." Carrctl said "lie

it easy to dctcmrine w ho is available for
a certain date, It‘s great that he can fill
in some dates for us comics during the

(‘omcdy Caravan isn't ltlsl for pro-
fessional comedians though. llnderhill
encourages any student who is interest‘
ed in performing to simply arrive to the
Caravan shows an hour early to discuss
a pertomrance

“We really want students to come
out and take advantage of this great

show." llnderhill said. “Just come to
the show and talk to the student coordi—
nator about getting some stage time."

All (‘omedy Caravan shows are
free for students. Comedy Caravan.

Archer getting more sleep —— for now

Mike Archer couldn' t sleep.

After the University of
Louisville passed over and ran

through his
defensive
unit. the
UK coordi-
nator tried
to go home
and go to
bed.

H e
ended up
just staring
at the ceil—

Kernel ing.
columnist So. at
about 4
a.m.. he
dragged himself into the UK
football offices and watched the
game film.

Twice.

In that early-moming tape
session. Archer gained new per-
spective on the 59-28 loss.

He realized that part of the
problem was that his players just
played badly. But another pan of
the problem was the fact that U
of L simply has an explosive of-
fense. Most of all. Archer real-
ized that his defense was going
to get better.

“After I watched the film. I
basically told (the players).
‘We're better than we played.
We have confidence in you and
don’t doubt yourself,’ " Archer
said. “We were very positive
with them during the week."

But the players were not the
only ones doubting themselves.

Archer admitted that he ques-
tioned himself and his ability to
do the job.

“Sure. I doubted myself.” he
said. “As coaches we have those
thoughts — that‘s human nature.
But the kids get you out of that.
They just come in and work
hard. They‘re resilient."

If the players working hard
in pracrice during the week did-
n’t soothe Archer's self—doubt.
their performance on the field
last Saturday did. The defense
played as well against Texas
State as it has in Archer’s sec-
ond stint as defensive coordina—
tor at UK. which began in 2003.
It was only the third time in four
years that UK has held an oppo-
nent in single digits.

“1 get to breathe this week.“
Archer said.

As the Cats begin confer-
ence play this week. the defense
will need to continue to im—
prove. because the Southeastern
Conference has become a de-
fense-dominated league.

Just ask Steve Spurrier. The
inventor of the high-scoring Fun

n’ Gun offense watched his
South Carolina team get shut out
by Georgia on Saturday.

Or talk to Sylvester Croom.
His Mississippi State team has
played two conference games
and hasn‘t scored a point.

The days of Hal Mumme‘s
Air Raid are long gone. To win
in this SEC. you‘ve got to shut
people down. And that begins
with stopping the run.

LEYI srAFr

Defensive coordinator Mike Archer looks up during pregame warmup 's of
the Louisville game. The loss kept him from sleeping when he got home.

Head coach Rich Brooks un-
derstands that there are still
questions about the team's
ground defense. He was asde
yesterday at his weekly press
conference if he is concerned
about Ole Miss running back
BenJarvus Green-Ellis.

“Anybody that can carry the
ball is a concern for a defense
that hasn‘t stopped the run." he
said. “We need to show that we
can stop the run against a team
in our league."

Brooks is anxious to see if
the defensive improvement was
real. or just a mirage against a
crummy opponent.

“We didn’t play to our level
(against U of L)." he said. “Last
week we played closer to our
level, against an opponent that
obviously wasn‘t as good as the
first team we played. Now we‘re
going to play an opponent that is
closer to the first team we
played. and we need to still play
up to our ability."

If the Cats can play at "their
level" on Saturday. they‘ll beat
Ole Miss and start 1—0 in the
SEC for the first time since
1987.

And Mike
able to sleep.

At least for another weck.

Brooks: Tamme, Pryor unsure for Ole Miss

By Jonathan Smith
im

Junior tight end Jacob
Tamme is questionable to doubt-
ful for Saturday night‘s game
against Ole Miss, after suffering
a hamstring injury in his right
leg against Texas State last Sat-
urday, head coach Rich Brooks
said yesterday at his weekly
press conference.

Brooks said the hamstring is
strained and has localized to one
spot. He said the team should
know more about the injury to—
morrow.

Tamme was hampered by
injuries to both of his shoulders

spring practice to recover from
surgery on them.

Tamme has started 16 games
in his UK career. caught 47
passes and scored three touch—
downs. So far this season.
Tamme has two catches for 12
yards.

If Tamme can‘t play. Brooks
said the race for the position is
“probably between T.C. Drake
and Zipp Duncan."

“Ross Bogue could be in the

ix." Brooks added.

Brooks said sophomore de-
fensive tackle Myron Pryor is
also uncertain for this weekend‘s
game with a foot injury. Pryor
sat out the Texas State game
with the injury.

Starting spots back up for
grabs

After being named the
starter in only his second colle—
giate game. freshman linebacker
Micah Johnson will have to earn
his spot again in practice this
week.

Brooks said the competition
is back open between the wun-
derkind Johnson and sophomore
Braxton Kelley after thc pair
combined for three tacklcs
against Texas State.

"Both of them did some
good things." Brooks said. “But
neither one of them at this point.
in my opinion. is playing to the
level we expect of our starters."

Offensive lincman Fatu Tu-
rituri lost his starting spot at
right guard to Trai Williams.
Williams will continue his rolc
as the backup ccntcr.

At right dcfcnsnc cnd. Nii
Adjei Oninku. Dominic Lewis
and JD. ('raigman will compete
this week to lock up the job. and
Roger Williams rcturns as thc
stzutcr at strong safety following
a death in his family last week.

Pulley handling role better

Many coaches say the
biggest improvemcnt a team
makes during its season is be-
tween weeks one and two.

Curtis Pullcy‘s attitude has
followed that same pattcm.

“l wasn't particularly
pleased the week leading into
the LouisVillc game." Brooks
said. “I was very pleased last
week. and I think he demon»
strated that on the field when he
got in and played.

“He threw curls. he threw

out-routes. he threw hitches. and
all of them wcrc on thc money."

Although Pullcy continncs
to mature. Brooks said he has no
plans to change Pullcy‘s role.

“Hc's subjcct to play in
every game at an) timc. but
again there's no plan to insert
him on the third scrics or hcfor‘c
thc half.” hc said. ”It's just try
ing to figure out what‘s going on
in the game and if we need a
change of pace or something to
gct us moving or if we're not
doing well."

Brooks not confident in
