Supreme Court upholds 56 election

Decision: Court rules 4-1 that discrepancy in vote
tallies would not have affected the election outcome

By Paul Lelghtty
snrr wanna-

The Student Government
Supreme Court last night up—
held the results of last week‘s
election. despite arguments
from election ofﬁcials that all
or part of the election should
be overturned.

The decision was 4-1,
with Justice Brian Hopper

dissenting. The court met in
the College of Law court-
room after a discrepancy of
171 votes in the election re-
sults gave rise to suspicion of
voter fraud or errors in how
voting was recorded.

Eric Mills, the election in-
vestigator. argued in favor of a
new election in races where
the discrepancy may have af-
fected the outcome.

Braphus Kaalund and
Holly Harris argued on be
half of several candidates
that all election results be
upheld.

Hopper said to explain
his vote, “I’m dissenting
more in the fact that it's time
SG started covering their
asses." and avoiding election
problems.

In explaining the majori-
ty opinion, Chief Justice
Phillip Wheeler said:
“There’s just as much of a
likelihood that this will hap-

pen next election. If we over-
turn this election. we'll be
just as much obligated to
overturn the next election."

Wheeler said there would
be discrepancies in every fu
ture election, and that no
member of the court suspect-
ed fraud was the cause of the
171—vote discrepancy.

Kellen Baker. Board of
Elections chairman. said he
agreed with neither the
court‘s decision nor the elec-
tion investigator's argument.

SARS case reported
in Florida workplace

ATLANTA # Federal ofﬁcials said Thursday the new

respiratory virus that began in Asia may have spread for the
ﬁrst time in a workplace in the United States.

Dr. Julie Gerberding. head of the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention. said a suspected SARS virus patient
who became ill after traveling to Asia may have infected a
co-worker in Florida.

Gerberding said she was very concerned about the pos-
sible spread of the disease and said the Florida case is being
investigated. Gerberding and Florida ofﬁcials declined to
name the location.

War came as a surprise
to Mirjana Antic during the
conﬂict in the former Yu-

to live in fear.

Antic and two others —
Julija Bozich and Dzevada
Grahovic — shared vivid
personal stories of the war
in the Balkans Thursday in
the WT. Young Library

“Women in War: Stories
of Survival“ was organized
by Aumaine Mott as a part
of her Gaines Center fellow-
ship.

Mott, a Russian and East
European studies junior. said
she was asked to do some-

thing “community based“ as
a part of her junior jury pro-
ject for the Center.

Mott looked to her close
friends and the stories they
had to tell.

The three women told
their chronicles of destruc-
tion. religious prejudice. and
ethnic cleansing and refugee
camps, many times with tears
welling up in their eyes.

“While we were walking,
we had to watch where we
were stepping because there
were a lot of bombs hidden

the time of the war. She came

was hell.

“All I could hear was
grenades exploding.” she
said. “Being in labor at that
point wasn’t important at all.
Saving someone's life was
more important.“

Grahovic's family was
forced to ﬂee their homes.
and refugee camps were iso-
lated and overcrowded.

“60,000 people in the
middle of nowhere." she said
of the camps. “Each family
was with a few bags of food
and clothes.“

Grahovic eventually ﬂed

two eventually sought peace

“Most people were upset

“It's so nice to see free-
dom in Iraq after three
weeks,“ Bozich said. adding
that she wished it hadn't tak-

Iraqis would surrender in

city. on Friday.

Nearly 100 miles to the
north of Baghdad. U.S. com-
manders said Tikrit was the
likely site of a last stand by
Iraqi forces if there is to
be one. Iraqi defenders were
believed to have moved
there from other parts of
the country.

U.S.-led ﬁghters and
bombers also hit Iraqi posi-
tions near the border with
Syria. where special forces
were trying to prevent
regime loyalists from slip-
ping out of Iraq and to keep
ﬁghters from entering.

An American plane
beamed taped addresses by
President Bush and British
Prime Minister Tony Blair
to Iraqis. “Your nation will
soon be free," Bush said
while Arabic subtitles
scrolled across the screen.
“The regime of Saddam
Hussein is being removed
from power and a long era of
fear and cruelty is ending.“

While Bush, Blair and
their commanders talked of
a new life for Iraqis, Sad-

mained unknown and there
were fresh reminders that

the war was not over.

Col. Robert Waltemeyer.

would enter the city of Mo

Gen. Babakir Zebari, a
Kurdish commander. said
remnants of Saddam’s
Baath party and Iraqi mili-

had offered to surrender on
condition that the U.S.-led
bombing stopped and they
received amnesty.

Defense Secretary Don-
ald H. Rumsfeld said some of
the Iraqi forces inside the
city had stacked their
weapons in accordance with
US. surrender demands.
Waltemeyer said the US.
military would meet with
representatives from Mosul
on Friday morning in an at-
tempt to negotiate a surren-

not here to make deals."

have battled Saddam for
years, triggered celebrations

Local journal
puts students

Imaginative literature: Limestone magazine
focuses on aspiring writers in the Bluegrass area

By Robbie Clarli
ASSISTANI SCENE EDITOR

A biannual literary
journal is now available
showcasing UK. national
and international talent.

Limestone magazine.
though not exclusively re-
stricted to local flair. tries
to promote new writers in
the Bluegrass. said Emily
Biggs. an editor-in~chief of
Limestone and UK graduate
student.

“We want this to be a
UK journal." she said. “and
give beginning writers a
venue for their writing."

The periodical features
not only writing, such as
poetry and fiction. but
black and white photogra-
phy and artwork.

Biggs said that the ma-
jority of the artists in this
issue of Limestone have
never had their work print-
ed. which is a factor the edi-
tors look for.

“We have a preference
for unpublished writers."
Biggs said.

During the process of
selecting which art will be
included in each issue of
Limestone, editors and read-
ers must sift through more
than 3.000 submissions. De-
ciding which compositions
to publish is a “democratic
process” and nobody at
Limestone has a ﬁnal say in
the selection process, Biggs
said.

Limestone magazine
has been published under
its current name since 1976.
Before then it was known
as Stylus.

“It’s nice to be a part of
the continuity.” Biggs said.

One of the reasons

Limestone has endured is
because of the committed
volunteers who contribute
to the production. The era
ation of the periodical is
completely volunteer." Big-
gs said.

“‘It 5 just a bunch of
people who enjoy writing
and the process.“ she said.

This is the first year.
however. that Limestone of~
fers a paid undergraduate
internship position.

Applications for the job
are available on the 12th
floor of the Patterson Ofﬁce
Tower.

Copies of this edition of
Limestone are available at
local bookstores and will be
sold April 14 _ 17 in front of
the Student Center. They
cost $6.

Considering this issue
of Limestone. Biggs said she
was happy to work with
this caliber of talent.

“It's nice to get some of
these people on their way
up," she said.

“I hope this will be an
encouragement to aspiring
writers in the area."

Poor Roy. Not only will Williams get to choose between his two
dream jobs (and surely get a huge raise either way), but he gets to be
the center of the basketball universe for at least this weekend. And
his decision is sure to affect almost a dozen other coaches.

If Williams doesn't move to UNC (and I doubt he rejects the Tar
Heels a second time. He can't tell his mentor, Dean Smith. no) then
the Tar Heels’ second choice would likely be former Tar Heel and for-
mer Kansas coach Larry Brown, who is currently with the Philadel-

If Brown took the job. UK coach Tubby Smith would be on Philly‘s
short list of candidates. Smith has a good relationship with the Sixers'

in the pros while waiting patiently for the Philly job to open up. Even if
Brown doesn't leave Philly, Tubby might be the top candidate outside the
North Carolina bloodlines to replace Doherty.

Meanwhile, UK AD Mitch Barnhart has tried to sweeten up Tub-
by's deal to deter the coach from any other job. But be sure that Smith
will wait until all the chips fall before signing his Orlando Smith on the
dotted line.

The most remarkable twist of the whole scenario is that in the same
offseason four of the most prestigious jobs in college basketball could open
up. UCLA has already hired Ben Howland to replace Steve Lavin. North
Carolina is trying to sway Williams from Kansas, and UK may have to find
a replacement for Smith if he gets the NBA bug.

And Kansas and Kentucky could end up fighting over the same
applicants.

Bill Self, a former Kansas assistant, is happy at Illinois but wants a pre—

SG court decision mirrors
last year's farcical elections

Last night, Student Governments Supreme
Court proved once again that an SG election can’t
go by without the process being turned into a
mockery of democracy.

The court voted 4-1 to uphold last week’s elec-
tion, even though a huge discrepancy was found
among the voting totals. The number of votes
registered at the polls and the number of voters
who were double-checked by poll workers was off
by 171 votes.

While this didn’t necessarily matter in the
presidential election -— even if president-elect
Rachel Watts had forfeited 171 votes to runner-up
David Hutchinson. she would have still won the
election — every senate race could have been af-
fected by the discrepancy In fact. in some elec—
tions. the winner’s margin of victory was less
than ﬁve votes.

SG election investigator Eric Mills said that
either poll workers didn’t properly record which
students were voting, or the machines were bro-

ken into and the extra votes cast that way. The
fact that poll workers messed up, or that the polls
were possibly broken into, raises a cloud of sus-
picion against the integrity of the entire election.

If the polls were indeed broken into, and it
wasn’t worker error, who’s to say that a number
of the votes cast couldn’t have been altered from
one candidate to another?

Of course, it seems like SG can’t hold an elec-
tion without some kind of controversy ensuing.
It’s the same show, with an all new season: Stu-
dent Government Election Mishaps 2003. Stu-
dents were shocked last year as polls were closed,
hundreds of students were denied their chance to
vote and dozens of election violation claims were
brought against incumbent Tim Robinson, who
won the presidency by less than 50 votes.

How can students have any faith in next
year’s SG Senate, since the entire election was
botched? To restore integrity to SG, the Supreme
Court should have voted to have another election.

It seems like SG can’t hold an election
without some kind of controversy ensuing.”

she‘d deliver flowers and fruitcake to the
White House. apologizing to George W
Bush while kneeling on broken glass.

Time to pay the piper. Of course. I
don't expect .Ianeane to go to such
Arthurian lengths to admit how dead
wrong she was. A simple apology will do.
The images broadcast to the world from
central Baghdad this week have proved
which school of thought had it right.

I seriously doubt Garafalo and her
compatriots will have the courage to ad-
mit their mistakes. though. Celebrities.
and unruly war protesters in general.
seem to have a problem accepting the
idea that their actions may in fact bring
about consequences they don‘t like.

Hollywomi stars seem shocked at the
criticism they‘ve received from the
American public. Protesters who break
the law don't tend to like it too well when
they are handcuffed and dragged to pow
lice cruisers. or shot with rubber bullets
when trying to disrupt shipments of mil-
itary supplies to our troops in Iraq.

But when it comes to celebrities. we
