Shot fired at Kirwan Tower hits dorm window

Six total gunshots help scatter crowd of about 100 people
outside Kirwan-Blanding complex just after time change

By Megan Boehnke
nit KENTUCKY me.

An unknown person fired six gun-
shots early yesterday morning outside
the Kirwan-Blanding complex on
South Campus — one of which went
through a window on the 12th floor of
Kirwan 'Ibwer and into the ceiling of a
female student’s dorm room. No one
was injured in the shooting incident.

UK police officers were already at
the scene when the shots were fired
into the air at 3:15 am. said Maj. Joe
Monroe. The officers were responding
to a call that a fight had broken out

among a group of up to about 100 peo
ple gathered in the courtyard. Students
and non-students had gathered outside
the towers to watch what Monroe be-
lieved to be a fraternity-related step
show.

“We are looking at some different
things and possibilities, but nothing
has been confirmed about the suspect
in the assault," Monroe said. adding
that there were no leads in the shoot-
ing. Police are investigating leads in
the assault.

“Nobody saw the shooting." he
said. “We have several witnesses in the
assault, but (the shooting is) what we

really need to know about and what we
need people to come forward about."

Wayne Centers. Kirwan I’s hall di-
rector. said police were present when
he went outside to see what was hap-
pening.

“There was a bit of confusion
people were scattering a lot," Centers
said.

Roscoe Dalton, who is not a UK stu-
dent, was involved in the fight and was
treated for cuts on his face and lip and
an injury to the back of his head, Mon-
roe said.

The halfdozen gunshots came from
the north side of Kirwan Tower, which
faces Cooperstown Apartments and
Kirwan [1. One of the bullets went
through the window of a 12th floor

Candidates
campaign
on campus

Two of four in Lexington mayoral

race talk of campus-city connection

By Erin Lautner
m: xrxrucxr KERNEL

Lexington needs more high tech jobs. ex-
panded growth opportunities and better com-
munication between campus and City Hall ~
at least. that‘s what this year's mayoral candi-
dates said in an on-campus forum Saturday.

The campaign fair. co-sponsored by both
the UK College Democrats and the UK College
Republicans. allowed students the chance to
talk to Lexington‘s mayoral candidates and
those running for the Council-at-Large posi-
tions. The primary elections will be held in
May. with the final elections in November.

Both candidates Bill Farmer Jr. and Jim
Newberry said the city government must help
foster a better relationship between itself and
UK.

“A lot of times. when talking about the rela-
tionship with the university. it‘s almost like
command to command." Farmer said. “When
you think of the essence of a university itself.
some of the things we have done have set (stu-
dents) back, and we've done things at the ex-
pense of the student body."

Newberry said the relationship needs
mending.

“I'd say the overall quality of that relation-
ship leaves an awful lot to be desired right
now,“ Newberry said. “Until we get the point
where we are finding ways to cooperate more
effectively we are not going to able to take ad-
vantage of all the synergies that could be cre-
ated by having a close working relationship be-

. “Trash cans get '

spring makeover

By Chris Collins
THE krmum mm
The trash bags around campus have sudden

ly turned a noticeably brighter color. but UK
plans on returning to the standard gray hue

‘ next month.

Lime-green trash can liners have replaced
the old dark-green liners previously used by cus-

is not merely cosmetic.
Dan Abbott. assistant superintendent of
UK's custodial services. said the change in lin-

Central Stores came up
the replacements

“UK stores order lin-
ers; we order from them."
Abbott said. “It takes
about two or three months
for the orders to cycle
through.‘ he said.

“By May. we should
not have to use the lime-
green liners anymore."

Abbott said the factory
that had been making the
old liners. which UK has

‘ used for the past six or seven years. stopped pro

duction around the time Hurricane Katrina
struck in late August 2005.

And then. UK's custodial service ran into an-
other problem.

Like any other plastic, trash can liners are
made from petroleum. and petroleum products
were hard to come by in the days after Katrina.
Abbott said.

Patrick Dempsey:
Life and Love

Actor on ABC hit “Grey’s Anatomy" tells
us what (or who) made him successful

By Joey Bartolomeo and Mia Sulpor

He’s already 40, but Patrick Dempsey
still dreams about what he‘d like to be
when he grows up.

“A race-car driver,” he tells Us follow-
ing practice for the Toyota Pro/ Celebrity
Race (taking place April 8 in Long Beach,
California).

Fortunately, fans of ABC’s Grey’s
Anatomy need not worry he'll quit his job
playing sexy neurosurgeon Derek Shep-
herd. “[Racing] is an escape and hobby,”
says the actor, “but I don't think I’ll ever
become a professional.”

As if he’d have time. After wrapping
season two of Grey’s, Los Angeles-based
Dempsey, his wife, Jillian, and daughter,
Tallulah, 4, will relocate to New York City
for the summer while he films the Disney
fable “Enchanted with Amy Adams.” He
takes Us for a spin.

Us Weekly: What do you and Jillian
do on weekends?

Dempsey: We go for drives together.
For my 40th birthday [on January 13], she
bought me a 1969 2808E convertible Mer-
cedes, and it is a great family wagon to
cruise around in. It's like a big old boat. I
love to see the face of my daughter when
she is in the car seat driving around.

Q: Are they into racing?

A: I have to get my wife into it. My
daughter is chomping at the bit. She can't
wait to go racing with me when she gets a
little bit older.

Q: How has your marriage changed
since Grey’s became such a hit?

A: It forces you to work harder on
your relationship, and you appreciate it
even more so.

At times, it is extremely difficult, be-

cause you lose a lot of your privacy But I
find that my relationship with my wife is
getting closer.

Q: Any plans to have another baby?

A: Well now, I'm not only getting pres-
sure from my wife, but also from my
daughter. I keep going to my wife, “Are
you putting her up to this?” and she says,
“Not at all!” Tallulah asks, “Where do ba-
bies come from? Why don’t we have an-
other one?" It is very cute.

Q: You’re dyslexic. How does it affect
your life?

A: You find your own tools to deal with
it. When people ask for my autograph, I
always ask them to please be polite and
help me with the spelling so I don't mess
it up.

Q: Have you taped the Grey’s finale
yet?

A: We are starting the last three
episodes right now. It’s a three-parter
[airing May 14 and 15]-It’s going to have a
nice climax at the end of the season.

It will be very much like the show: a
lot of drama, a lot of comedy and a lot of
romance.

He became a heartthrob with hit films
like 1987’s “Can’t Buy Me Love," but
Dempsey (with costar Amanda Peterson)
says he could not get hired in the early
’90s.

“In this business, you can’t be diffi-
cult. You can’t have temper tantrums,” he
told Barbara Walters in February I
don’t think I understood that at the time."

The actor attributes his troubled emo-
tional state in part to a failing seven-year
marriage with then-manager Rocky Park-
er, who was 27 years his senior.

tween city hall and campus.”

Lexington Mayor Teresa Isaac is
currently working to better this rela-
tionship by meeting regularly with UK
President Lee Todd to discuss ways to
make Lexington more appealing to stu-
dents and work better with campus,
said Susan Hammond, Isaac’s campaign
manager. Isaac was unable to attend the
event due to a scheduling conflict, Ham-
mond said.

The fourth candidate — cigar store
owner Charles Martin Jr. — wasn’t pre-
sent at the event and did not have a rep
resentative in attendance.

The candidates also said the city
must devote more attention to making
Lexington more appealing to UK stu-
dents.

“(Mayor Isaac) wants to make Lex-
ington attractive to the best and bright-
est in Kentucky,” said Hammond “She
is working to bring in more jobs, espe-
cially from high tech companies be-
cause they seem to attract younger peo-

Newberry is proposing a scholar-
ship for Lexington high school students
that would cover tuition at Kentucky
universities for students majoring in
science, technology, engineering and
math fields, if they commit to stay in
Lexington after graduation.

Farmer said'making UK a top-20
public research institution — a goal
mandated by the state legislature in
1997 — is the best way to bring the
brightest students to Lexington.

“UK really has it together in terms
of having a business plan, and there is a
pathway to get to top 20,” Farmer said.
“One of the things the city needs to be
ready for is to go along with that be-
cause it has to do with physical changes
that will affect neighborhoods around
campus.

“Top-20 university isn’t a small
thing,” he said.

Hammond said the government is
trying to do just that with some recent
downtown renovations that promote the
meshing of campus and downtown. She
added that Mayor Isaac strongly sup-
ports downtown infill and redevelop-
ment not only for UK’s sake, but also for
the sake of Lexington’s horse farms and

Newberry said UK is critical to de-
veloping a stronger Lexington economy.

“The college town area is the most
critical piece of real estate in the com-
munity,” Newberry said. “If we find
ways to effectively develop that and to
promote the exchange of ideas, people
and resources between downtown and
campus, we would have a terrific local
economy.”

Farmer said living on campus is a
great solution, too.

“I do like the fact that the adminis-
tration has realized the importance of
putting the students on campus,”
Farmer said.

“I think the things that are going on
downtown will be a great link up to
that, but I appreciate the new dorms
that are being built,” he said referenc-
ing the four new dorms that opened at
the start of this school year. “It gives
people a chance to be right at central
campus.”

The four mayoral candidates are
scheduled to be on campus at least one
more time this month, for a proposed
April 17 forum sponsored by Student
Government.

said. “It was a stressful in-

As for goals for next
year, Knight said he wanted
more sales.

“I’d like to see higher
sales on the year and get
sales back up,” Knight said.
“I can’t wait to get started.”

Little was also pleased
with her position to lead
The Kernel over the sum-
mer.

“I was very excited that

the board members wanted
me for the job,” Little said.
“I feel very confident that 1

Little said she wanted to
examine in-depth issues
this summer such as UK’s
transforming police force
and UK staff’s discussion
with unions in response to
pay raises lower than those
given to faculty.

“1 want to focus on pro-
jects over the summer," Lit-

the disruption in the oil trans-
port," Abbott said.

“The industry was having
trouble with supply, the re—
fineries in New Orleans were
shut down for a while,” he
said. “There was a major dis-
ruption in the supply line. Lin-
er prices went up consider-
ably; we couldn't get any
locked-in prices. All manufac-
turers were running into the
same problem."

The trouble with finding
the trash can liners seems to
have abated somewhat in the

months after Katrina, he said.

“Five or six months ago, it
was a major problem; now, it
has stabilized somewhat," Ab-
bot said. “Anything plastic-pe-
troleum, it’s all related.

“About like gas prices,
things have settled down but
settled down to a higher rate,”
he said. “I would speculate that
it is about the same way with
the trash can liners.”

Abbott said the bright bags
are just as strong as the old lin-
ers.

“We found that the quality
is about the same," he said.

“We found that they’re
working; we’re just not happy
with the green color.”

If you‘re like me. and you get tired
of making the same rounds to Live-
Journal. Xanga. MySpace. Facebook.
and your e-mail. then you will appreci-
ate the advent of social
bookmarking as much
‘ as I did.

‘ Social bookmarking.
simply put. is a way for
people to share and or.
ganize interesting pages
that they have created
or stumbled upon. The
very first so-

There are lots of social bookmark-

two sites bookmark news and interest

both sites. for example. are links to a

the Internet.

These two sites do tend to be orient-
ed towards techies, but there are many
other sites for the rest of the world.
and many of those organize things oth-
er than news stories.

pitchmg sweewapsway UK”

By Ryan Kuhn
THE KENTUCKY mm

7. Perfection occurred this
7;weekend at the UK Softball
Complex, but it wasn’t the
:Ikind UK fans hoped for.
. Stephanie Vanbrakle
pitched the first perfect
game in Alabama school
, history Saturday in the first
game of a three-game
sweep by the Crimson Tide

(324, 12-0 Southeastern
Conference).
While Coach Eileen

Schmidt said she was disap-
pointed in the team’s effort,
she was quick to give credit
to the pitching UK has
faced of late.

“I think a lot of our of-
fensive struggles can be at-
tributed to the quality of
pitching we have faced,"
she said. “Both [Ten-
nessee’s Monica] Abbott
and Vanbrakle are in the
USA Softball system."

UK (14-22, 2-16 SEC)
dropped the final game of
this weekend’s series by a
score of 9-0. Amy Kendall,
whose record fell to 5-8 on
the year with the loss, gave
up all nine runs in the first
inning. Kendall and Lind-
say Brogdon did not allow a
hit after the first.

“Our pitching was good
later in the game," said
Coach Schmidt. “Amy
pitched great after the first;
we just have to work on be-
ing ready to play."

Game one starter Van-
brakle combined with Blair
Potter to hold the Cats to no
runs on two hits. Katie
Campbell and Gina Flo-
rence each had one hit for
UK.

UK completed a rough
stretch of their SEC sched-
ule with the loss. The Cats
are winless over their last
three opponents [LSU, Ten-
nessee, and Alabama], and
have been shut out over
their last six games.

“The teams we have
been playing are really
good this year," said Coach
Schmidt. “Alabama and
Tennessee have some of the
best pitching in the SEC
and Tennessee is probably
the best at the plate."

UK will get a break from
SEC play this week when
Ohio comes to town tomor-
row and Western Kentucky
on Wednesday. Coach
Schmidt said the team
should benefit from the
break.
