Solicitors and scammers
have come to campus. and UK
Police are warning students
about the dangers of their con
games.

l'K Police (‘hief L‘red ()tto

have been reported. including
one where a solicitor became
aggressive and physically tried
to bully a female student into
writing a check for his busi
ness.

scribed the solicitors' selling
methods as “aggressive."

The frequency of reported
incidents has decreased. and
Otto said this group of scam-
met‘s has probably moved on.
But he doesti't want students to
let their guard down. as more
solicitors might be on the way

”Once one group comes
through. another comes
through." ()tto said "They're

hit art area. and in two weeks
they're back."

The solicitors and scammers
have no legitimate ties to the
companies they claim to repre
sent. Whit‘h are usually magav
zine companies. (Mr) said.

“’l‘liey‘re iiist con artists
that go froin one community to
the next.” ()tto said.

Solicitors are allowed on
campus. but they are required

to obtain a permit front the UK
dean of students before they
sell their items on campus. ()tto
said, Under no circumstances
are they allowed to be in the
residence halls.

()tto urged students to m”.
tact llK police it they are uti-
siire whether a solicitor is legit
imate.

“if any type of solicitor
comes on campus. (students)
should contact the police and
we‘ll check (the solicitor) out.”
()tto said.

()tto said that anyone who
thinks he has been tricked by a
scammer should take measures
to prevent any further fraud.

“if anyone has given them
money. especially checks or
credit cards. they need to stop
paying so they don't get ripped

' off." ()tto said.

UK Police have been espe
cially concerned with solicitors
gaining entry into the dorms by
"piggy-backing" or “tailgating"
on students. This occurs when a
solicitor follows a student into
a dorm.

l.'K Police and the Student
Affairs Office have been work-
ing together to notify resident
advisers of the potential threat
of solicitors gaining entry into
a dorm. UK Police said.

Keeneland Hall resident ad»
viser Beverly Roe. a chemistry
senior. said that in addition to
the training the RAs receive at
the beginning of each school
year. an email was recently

i

sent out to the RAs as a warn
ing.

“1 tliitik RAs and desk work
ers are pretty clear on proce
dures." Roe said. “We're trained
pretty well on that. We always
stop people we don‘t recogniZe.

Reynolds Building No 1 is turning up the
dial of comfort for the students and teachers
who work and learn in its sweltering temper
atures.

A new ventilation and air conditioning
system is being installed to aid the art stzi
dents and professors who have previonsiy
spent their time sweating while they work

“It’s going to be a great improvement
compared to what we have now." said Lind
sey Kraemer. an art studio sophomore. who
pointed out box fans and cracked windows
that swirl a intisky breeze throughout the
building "And it‘s about time “

The staff and students of the Reynolds

Robert Shaw. dean of the (‘ollege of Fine

“suitable" for classes

"It’s nist not a good place to teach or learn
inf Shaw said “It gets hot in there. These
new renovations will bring things at
Reynolds front bad to better."

Several students agreed the conditions iii
the Reynolds Building classrooms are diffi-
cult to bear.

“Learning in this environment is a chal-
lenge." said Brian Leinenbach. an art studio
sophomore who has two classes in the
Reynolds Building this semester

“The hot rooms are a killer to sit in."
Leinenbach said. but he said the walk to class
is the worst part.

The Reynolds classroom building is oni- ot
the farthest points from campus proper. .11
most a mile from the doors of the Whitehall
(‘lassroom Building to the doorstep of the
warehouses.

“Air conditioning is a lovely thing when
you have to walk that far in the hotter

almost as much as his breath-

From Arena League to Super

Weird.

"It's something that‘s in

Warner said "It doesn't moti-

and it's not why I'm playing

He will attempt to prove it

itig nearby: As Warner spoke
confidently about what he
sees as a bright future in New
York. Manning was only a few
feet away. sitting alone in

the playbook for the Eagles‘

Warner beat out Manning

times.

Now it's on to games that

there is little margin for error
with the Franchise sitting
next to him But staying one
step ahead of Manning isn‘t
what drives him.

"What drives me is that I

BY HILLARY CANADA

the minty Ronni

Assistant Features Editor
Hillary (‘anada will regularly high
light local and visiting artists with
the some seven questions each uvek.

Kansas City singer-song-
writer Matt Wertz abandoned
aspirations of shoe designing
for a career on the stage.
Wertz visited Lexington with
Jason Mraz following the
2001 release of his album
Somedays. Wertz is traveling
through Kentucky now in
support of his new album.
Twenty Three Places.

Q: What was your first
concert experience?

A: I think I can probably
remember that it was an
Amy Grant concert. I grew
up on Amy Grant and oldies.
so Amy Grant came in con-
cert. and all I remember was

that one of my sisters got
pulled up on stage to sing in a
big choir of kids. I don‘t
know why they didn‘t pull me
on stage but I'm on stage
every night now so I guess it
doesn‘t matter.

Q: Who is your celebri-
ty crush?

A: Oh my gosh. you know
what. you know who it is? I
think it‘s Kirsten Dunst. I
never thought that I liked her
until the Spiderman movies.
Especially the second Spider-
man movie. But before her it
was definitely Gwenyth Pal-
trow.

Q: What was the first
record you owned?

A: Michael Jackson‘s
Thriller. And that was the
record — the actual record.
That kind of dates me too. I
guess. It was an Easter pre-
sent from my parents kind
of a weird Easter present. but

it was the best one present I
ever got.

Q: What‘s the best
Spring Break destination?

A: I‘m kind of a fan of
Colorado. I think. that going
to Breckinridge is the best
place ever There are a lot of
people around. and you can
ski; (there's) cool places to go
at night. For me. I grew up in
Colorado and I love the
mountains.

Q: What is your fa-
vorite late night eatery?

A: If we're in the Mid-
west. Steak ‘n Shake. but if
we‘re needing a drive-thru. I
love to get a frosty and dip
fries in it You know what
else I do I do that‘s weird? I
eat whole peanuts in the
shell. You should really try it.

Q: What’s in your pock-
et right now?

A: Looks like some left
over merch money from last

night. $32 and some change.
and a lot of receipts. I save re~
ceipts. I don't know why. Also
a magenta Sharpie and some
green guitar pics. (pause)
This receipt is for $50 to fill
up my van! People need to
support me and buy some
stuff at the show so that I can
continue to fill my tank with
gas.

Q: What is the first
thing you think about
when you hear the word
Kentucky?

A: Horses. That's kind of
a dumb answer. Okay -— fried
chicken. Honestly. I've never
seen a horse in Kentucky

Matt Wertz will perform with
Aaron Winters at 7 pm tomorrow at
The Dame. Tickets cost $5.

Continued from page i

Schwartzman (of Rushmore
fame)?

A: He decided to leave the band to
become an actor. He was definitely an
attraction to the band but now that he
has left. people will have to concentrate
on our music. But I‘m glad he's doing

what he enjoys and wish him the best.

Q: You worked with David Fried-
man. who has worked with the
Flaming Lips and

Mogwai. What was that like?

A: Great guy. he‘s just a nerd that
loves music. The studio was in his
house in Illinois He made us work 12-
hour days that drove everyone crazy
and made us all want to get out of
there. but it was fun

Q: What was it like getting to
tour with a legend like Elvis Costel-
10?

A: Every good word you could
think of. It's great that he's been doing
it for that long and still loves it. It was
great to get his approval and everyone
in the band was crushing on him the
whole time

Q: I noticed that on your newest
album you took a turn away from
pop rock and went for a more
garage rock sound. What inspired
the change?

A: Touring. (We spent) two years on
the road for The Guest. and we opened
for bands that are much harder than
(that album) You push yourself open-
mg for different crowds and such. so it
was iust a natural progressmn

Q: The acoustics in the (Single-
tary Center for the Arts) theater
you‘ll be playing here aren‘t really
meant for rock bands. What can we
expect from you in this setting?

A: Well. we‘ve played in that type
of setting before and it turned out OK
We'll try not to break anything

Q: What was it like changing
from club shows to playing arenas
when opening for Incubus?

A: Harder , much different than
clubs You have to exaggerate, jump

higher and play louder to get to every
one in the arena. I'm not used to it. but
(lead singer) Alex loves it. But the are,.
na shows made playing clubs much
better.

Q: What is your favorite memory
from the road?

A: My birthday two years ago when
we were playing with Incubus. I had
been talking about how it would be
great to play with them on a song So
they let me come on stage and play
bass on Are You In? (and) then brought
out a big birthday cake,

Q: If you could play on stage
with any band. who would it be?

A: Definitely Radiohead , they're
my favorite band.

Q: Bruce Springsteen dropped
your name in an interview on Late
Night with Conan O'Brien and
drummer Max Weinberg said.
"Now. this is a real band.” What
does that feel like?

A: Max Weinberg actually played
drums on the show with us. We played
“California" and Jason (Schwartzniani
played piano on the show. It's amazing
that a rock legend said that about us.
and Nebraska is my favorite album of
all time. But I guess there's no real way
to comment on what that feels like.

Q: How did you guys meet?

A: I went to high school With the
original guitarist. who isn‘t even in the
band anymore. I met Jason in elemen-
tary school and he met Alex in a music
shop. We all just sort of ended up in
the same room together with our in—
struments. we liked the same music
and had fun playing together,

Q: Have you all graduated from
12 guys in a van to a tour bus?

A: Yeah. we have a tour bus now
We sleep on bunks in the bus and hope»
fully there are showers at the venue. I
usually don't shower for a couple of
days look out. ladies

Q: Do you all write the songs to-
gether or does one person write
them and suggest it?

A: Alex comes up with most of the
songs. lyrics and melodies He‘ll tell Us
about it and we'll Jam it and record it a
lot to make it work It usually takes
about a month to get a song down.

Q: Do you all have one set list

for every show or does it change?

A: We have an outline. but we'll
change it based on the crowd's reac-
tions.

Q: Are there any songs that you
get sick of playing?

A: I know you're probably thinking
I'll say “California." but I still like to
play that song. I don't really like to
play our
