KNOXVILLE. Tenn. — He wasn‘t going out like that.
Not in front of a home crowd on national television. Not
to that team. Phillip Fulmer was not going to lose to UK.

Fulmer‘s final season at Tennessee has been a disaster.
His team started the year ranked in the top 25. and the
Volunteers will end it with its worst season since 2005. In-
stead of traveling south for a bowl game. they’ll be head-
ing to the drawing board under the direction of a new

But if there's one thing this Tennessee team can say,
it’s that it never imploded. After the laughable loss to

Wyoming. the Vols could have packed it in. Instead. they
reeled off two straight to finish Fulmer‘s final season in Knoxville.

ilaster@kykernel.com

UK Alert was not used after a man reported—
ly confronted a woman on campus and implied
he had a weapon. because no imminent threat
was posed to the community. uni\ersity officials

and other electronic messages to those signed tip

cases near. campus.

"That‘s usually used only when people need
to take action right at that time." said spokes—
woman Kathy Johnson.

When something happens at UK and officials
feel they have to notify students. several options
are available. The quickest method is when UK
Police can issue the UK Alert immediately upon
receiving word of a report. If the incident is not
urgent. UK Police passes the news onto the ()f—
fice of Emergency Management.

The Office of liniergency Management as—

English education junior Sarah Shannon did
not shop when some retail stores opened at 5

thing in particular. she wanted to go out and
find bargains. such as the half—price jeans she
bought at Wet Seal and the $15 semiformal
dress she bought at Dillard's marked down from
$89. 9

“It‘s above and beyond." Shannon said. “For

Cats capture Las Vegas Invitational title

By James Pennington
rpennington@kykerne|,com

In an unorthodox setting.
the men‘s basketball team
played two unorthodox
games in the Findlay Toyota
Las Vegas Invitational. The
outcome. however. was fa—
miliar to Cats fans: two victo—
ries.

On Friday. the Cats (42)
faced off with Kansas State.
The Cats’ messy ball han—
dling followed them from
Rttpp Arena to the Orleans
Arena in Las Vegas — the
Cats committed a season—
high 31 tumovers in the con»
test. Junior Jodie Mceks
turned the ball over a team-
Iiigh nine times. but he made
up for his mishandles with 37
points and four steals in the
Cats' 74-72 victory. Meeks'
24 first~half points topped
Kansas State‘s team halftime
total of 7.3.

The Cats overcame their
sloppy handling by shooting
08.8 percent from the field.

Before Friday. L‘K‘s last ox—
percent performance was
Dec. 20. 2000. in an X8474
victory over Indiana.

The Cats‘ victory earned
them a berth in the Invitation—
al final against West Virginia
on Saturday. Although LIK‘s
hot shooting didn‘t cany over
—- the Cats shot 38.5 percent
against the Mountaineers
sophomore big men Patrick
Patterson and Josh Harrellson
led the Cats' charge to a 54—
43 victory to clinch the Las
Vegas Invitational champi-
onship.

Patterson and Harrellson
each contributed double-dou-
bles. finishing the game with
27 combined points and 20
combined rebounds.

In the first halt. the Cats
struggled mightily to score.
putting up just 16 points be—
fore the intermission. l7K
took control in the second
half on a 19-4 run that gave
the Cats a 3936 advantage
with 7:41 Iett to play. The
Cats maintained their first

America's greed kills
three on Black Friday

New York Daily News. “He

Trampled by people as he
opened the doors at 5 am. on

‘ If one is desperate to make himself into a

ods to make it happen. One can dedicate their

football or dog fighting. to
see proof of this. in the United States. there is
often riiore outrage over the slaughter of coni—
rriori household pets than the murder of a hu--
man being. l'ntortunately for many of the an»
imals of the world. the value placed upon
each of the species‘ lives is highly variable.

While a person can be sent to jail for in»
juring a dog unnecessarily. the more delicious
animals of the world are often put through
unnatural processes to help appease the de—
mands of the modern world. in order to maxi»
mi/e profit and meet demand. the modern
meat producer has de\eloped a myriad of
ways to increase efficiency. While this was
once seemingly limited to slaughtering and
raising methods. new advances in technology
are changing the possibilities every day.

.lust as the ethics of human cloning and
gene selection ha\e generated intense debate.
the ways in which food production is carried
otit should be similarly studied. It has been
clear for many years now that the old ways of
the meat industry are long gone. Unlike the
cats and dogs that most could ney er fathom
harming. cows and chickens are commodities
that rriust be created. developed. packaged
and sold as quickly as possible. In the past.
the same was true. but modem technology
l Iras enabled more questionable methods for
i actually carrying it out.

' ignoring the multitude of ways animal cru—

l possibilities of violating ethical boundaries still

Food production methods
should face strict ethics

due to its physical characteristics? Would it be
ethical for our socrety to continually clone this
same animal again and again to rrieet con—
sumer demand? It is not a question of if this
will ever be possible. but when. Therefore. it is
imperative to know now whether we should.
If the process of dealing with these ani<
mals can be streamlined to a simple process
of clone. fatten and kill. is there some moral
line that is being crossed? At a certain point,
this process will improve to the point where it
seems life itself is monetized. The cold sci-
ence of the situation and basic logic clearly

 
     

see this as an easy means to increase produc-

to go home for a week." said
Thomas. who graduated from [K in
2003 and is currently finishing work
for his master’s degree. "Many of
them haven‘t been home for a few
years. It was important to me that
they have sorrrew here to go durrirg
the holidays."

This Is the fourth year for the
Thanksgiving dinner merit in Snrith
Hall. The Office of Residence Life
proyides the funding for the eyent.
but Thomas and his wife plan the
menu and prepare the food by them»
selves,

They took some shortcuts.
Thoirias said preparing Turkey
breasts instead of whole turkeys to
cut down on cooking time and serv~
ing corn grown on his family farm to
save money.

Still. Thomas and his wife had a

full day of work.
- He didn‘t sit down or stop work»
ing all morning .larrres and Dana
Thomas cooked tlirotigh Thanksgiy»
ing lunch with their family. who
came to Smith Hall for the day from
Morehead. Ky. where .lairies Thomas
is from. As he carried each dish from
the kitchen. there was always some»
thing else to do or to retrieve.

"As long as eyer‘yoire has some-
thing to eat and someone to be wrth
today. I‘ll be happy." he said.

Slowly. students began to wander
by the dining room. pausing to smell
or look at the food as it was prepared

“We do it for the students."
Thomas said. “This isn't a holiday
most of them have ever celebrated.
so it‘s important not just that they
have people around them during the
holiday. but also that they learn part
of our country 's culture,"

Groups of students began to fill
their plates just as Thomas collapsed
into a chair with a heavy sigh. A (‘hi-
nese student walked by him and
smiled. "Happy Thanksgiving." she
wished Thomas and grabbed a plate.

"I bet that is the first time she's
ever wished anyone a happy Thanks-
giving." Thomas said. “That is what
all of this is about. It's not just the
company: it‘s about sharing some»
thing with someone who's never ex-
perienced it before."

A group of students from South
Korea sat together at a table in the
dining room, discussing which tradi»
tional Thanksgiving foods they‘d
never tried and who was going shop-
