ttitional diversity on .luly 1. Jackson made an
early visit to UK yesterday to meet with differ—
ent groups on campus and learn about diversity
efforts.

Yesterday afternoon. the II assembled leaders
lc\clcd with her, When .lackson asked how ittost
Student (Joy ernmcnt officers get elected. several
students immediately said “Greek" and others
nodded their heads in response,

“It's often said if you get the (EPAC (Greek

Political Action (‘ommittec endorsement).
you'll get the election." integrated strategic
communications senior James Davidson said of
spring SG elections. Davidson is also the first-
vice president of UK‘s chapter of the National
Association for the Advancement of (‘olored
People.

Patrick Keal. president of the lnterfraternity
Council. agreed. saying leadership roles are often
passed down from one fratemity or sorority mem-
ber to another. though not out of ill—will toward
other students on campus.

“If you‘re a Greek and the guy who's in the
office in front of you is a (ireek. that‘s the way to
get the position. to get to know them." he said.
“It‘s not an intentional cycle."

As students talked about their experience
with diversity at UK. Jackson took notes and
gave her reactions, She said organizations

should work to develop a stu‘
dent leadership program arid
that if the (ireeks have a lead-
ership package that is work-
ing. it could be applied to the
whole student body.

(‘oordinating diversity cf-
forts among students. faculty.
staff and administrators will
be pan of Jackson’s job when
she struts in July. She will also
advise the president and the provost on how
university decisions will affect UK's diversity
goals.

they would like to see on campus in the future and
addressed existing diversity problems at l'K. One

that falsely described presidential hopeful Barack
()bama as a Muslim and spoke negatively of ls-
lain.

When one student brought it up without men-
tioning l’helps' name while the SG president sat at
the meeting. Jackson said the leaders had to be
honest with each other.

“You need to put stuff on the table and say
what you mean." she said.

At the end. Jackson said she found the meet»
ing to be successful and encouraged the group to
continue meeting despite busy schedules.

After the students left. Jackson said she has
been surprised by how open and willing to work
the students she has met have been. In her visit to
campus. she has detected good spirit and good—
will. she said.

“I think it‘s going to be a good move for me."
Jackson said.

said he hopes to crush last year‘s

“This event allows students
to get involved for a good cause
and have fun at the same time."

Thomas said. “It is a great way
to ask questions about the pro-
gram and fill out an application
if people are interested. Partici—
pating enables the chapter to
raise money and improve on
what is already a great chapter."

To register a team. students

In Big Brothers/Big Sisters‘
core effort. the community pro-

The escapades program was
created because some children are
on a waitlist for a big brother or
big sister for up to two years.
Thomas said. In this program.
children meet with a group of vol»
unteers once a month for a couple
of hours.

Though Thomas is busy with

said the school program allows
him to manage his time with
Lowe. This particular effort is pop-

because volunteers visit children at

Di\crsity issues are not simply black and
white. and a panel will c\plore relationships
among Hispanics and blacks as part of the Dr
versity Dialogue series tonight.

The Office of Student Di\crsity langage
ment is sponsoring the event. Strong l)i\isions
and Shared Dreams. Exploring the dynamics of
relationships between latinos Hispanics and
African Americans Blacks

The event starts tonight at
Ballroom of the Student (enter.

The fonim will benefit students of all races.
said Juan lispinosa. president of the Latin
American Strident ()rgani/ation.

"The purpose of these mum is the unifica-
tion and integration of all races." lispinosa said
“This is not an event rust for .'\frrcan-.»\mcrr»
cans and Latinos."

A poll published in December by New
America Media revealed tensions among Amer-
icans of different races.

The telephone poll of l.lll5 black. Asian
American and Hispanic adults found that fric
tion between these ethnicities is harbored in
stereotypes and the mistrust between the
groups. according to New America Media. an
association of more than 700 ethnic media or-
ganilations

Survey results also show ed that the malority

"Historically. Latin .-\rttcric.ins hay c not had

l:spiiiosa said "But I am confident that this is
starting to change since we all have a common
goal. w hich is to promote diversity and aware
ness not only here on campus but around the
state and across the nation "

The Di\crsity Dialogue series is designed to
promote engaged scholarship and debate about
the l0plt\ of race. cthnicity and di\crsity as a
w holc. said Mahiabecn Rafiirddin. director of
student di\crsity engagement Programmers
and organi/crs recogni/e the significance of the
paradigm between blacks and whites in the
l'nited Slates.

“llowewr. we are comittitted to cvpanding
the study of race and ethnicity beyond the
blackmhite paradigm." she said

About the years ago. diversity on campus
was only thought to encompass blacks. [as
pinosa said

“Thanks to these dialogues. the students.
staff and faculty are aware that there are many
more ethnicitics represented at l'K that also
need and descr\c the attention necessary to
move forward to .i more diverse university he

2 car bombs in Baghdad add to rise in violence

81 §tjvo Lnnnon

McClatchv Newspapers

BAGHDAD Violence is increasing in Iraq. raising questions
about whether the security improvements credited to the increase in
US. troops may be short-lived.

('ar bombs in Baghdad on Monday killed at least ll people and
injured a prominent leader of one of the country's most influential
Anierican‘allied tribal riiilitias.

The‘Ministry of Electricity announced that power to much of the
nation. already anemic. is likely to lag in coming days because in-
surgents had blown up transmission facilities and natural gas
pipelines that fuel generators.

(‘BS News confirmed that two of its journalists are missing in
Basra. in lraq’s south.

A leading parliament member warned that budget disputes have
paralyzed the legislature.

Secretary of Defense Robert (iates. finishing a two—day visit to
Baghdad. said that he was likely to advocate a pause in troop with-
drawals to evaluate the situation after the last of the additional
troops sent here under President Bush‘s so-called surge strategy had
left later this year.

Gates made the remark after meeting for two hours with Gen.
David Petraeus. the top US. commander in Iraq. Petraeus already
has indicated that he wants to slow troop withdrawals to consolidate
the past year‘s security gains.

Gates previously has said that how fast troops are redeployed
from Iraq will depend on conditions there. But his statement
prompted criticism frorii Democratic lawmakers. House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi. D-Calif.. House Armed Services Committee
(‘hairman lke Skelton. [)-Mo.. and presidential contender Sen.
Barack Obama. D—lll.. each issued statements that said delaying
further withdrawals would leave the American military over-

stretched.

"While the administration puts our drawdow'n on permanent
pause." ()bama said. al-Qaida leader ()sama “bin Laden is on the
loose. Afghanistan is sliding toward chaos and we're spending bil-
lions of dollars a week in Baghdad instead of helping Americans
who are struggling here at home."

Other leading presidential contenders made no comment on
Gates‘ remarks. Republican front-runner John Mc(‘am has been a
leading advocate of the surge.

After months of declining violence. February is certain to be the
third straight month to see increases in the numbers of Baghdad res—
idents killed in car bombings and suicide attacks.

According to statistics kept by McClatchy. the low point in such
killings came in November. when 76 people died. Thanks to a pair
of pet market bombings that killed 99 people Feb. I. February‘s tal-
ly already is I31.

Petraeus' counsel on troop withdrawals after some surge troops
have departed will play a big role in determining what (iates recom-
mends to the president. Pentagon officials said.

Monday marked the second day in a row of suicide attacks.
Blasts in Salah ad Din. Anbar and Ninevah provinces killed at least
30 people Sunday.

Monday. a suicide car bomber drove his car into the Baghdad
residence of a prominent leader of the Anbar Salvation Council. a
[LS-allied militia that‘s credited with helping to drive avaaida in
Iraq from that province. Five minutes later. another car bomb ex—
ploded at a busy intersection a short distance away.

The blasts killed at least 1] people and injured 30,

Later. Sheik Ali Hatheni al—Suleiriian al-Duleiiiiy. who was iri~
