Taking a ride: Students say taxi driver a
‘dancing' machine, makes a point to care

By Sasha Williams
CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Some heroes fly to the res-
cue. Some heroes run. And then
there are those people who
drive taxis.

Daniel Johnson drives a
taxi. what he refers to as a
“hero-mobile.“ He is an inde—
pendent contractor with the
Yellow Cab Company. known to
many as the 231-TAXI service

Johnson said that while he
serves the entire community.

he gets a lot of business from
college students.

“I like to help people. espe-
cially college students.“ he said.
“They‘re safe. friendly and they
tend to appreciate the service
more."

Johnson said that on an av-
erage night he receives any-
where from 50 to 80 calls. And
although he cannot serve that
many people. he said he
squeezes in as many people as
possible.

his regular customers, LCC computer science student Gordon Chandler.

Ale-8-0ne finds its way to a store near you

Drink up: Fans of the popular drink can buy
it in 61 Kentucky, Ohio and Indiana counties

m Toutctk I PHOTO (noon

Ale-B-One announced Wednesday its distribution into Ohio and Indiana.
Ul's outlet for the drink includes the Cat'sCate in the Blazer Courtyard.

By Jimmy 932“}

STAN WRITER

Many students who devel-
oped a passion for the Winches-
ter. Ky. based beverage Ale-8-
One while at UK. but who could-
n't find it in their hometowns
now have reason to rejoice.

In April. Ale-8~One will be
expanding its territory to in-
clude 61 counties in Kentucky.
Ohio and Indiana. including the
Louisville and Cincinnati ar-
eas. thanks to an agreement
with Coca-Cola Enterprises. its
current core distribution area
is within a 60~mile radius of
Winchester.

This should come as wel-
come news to relatives of civil
engineering junior Matt Curtis.
Curtis. who downs an average

of a six-pack a week. said he has
family in Indiana and “out
west" that order the beverage
from Kentucky.

While Curtis was drinking
Ale-8-One long before he
stepped on campus. his friend
Ryan Whitman. a mechanical
engineering junior. said he
wasn‘t converted until he came
to Kentucky.

A native of Dayton. Ohio.
Whitman is excited about the
distribution expansion. He said
that Ale-S-One is addictive and
lacks the bite of a cola and. for
these reasons. he thinks the soft
drink will do well in the tri
state area.

“A lot of people who like it.
that‘s all they drink." Whitman

Professors say
Athletics deal
‘scandalous’

‘UK has overlooked the staff minimum wage
while (Athletics) is getting free tickets’

By Rebecca Neal
fifths—uni wattle ‘

Several professors are un-
happy with the Athletics De-
partment‘s policy of awarding
its employees free season tick-
ets. many of which are traded
for cars at local dealerships.

“The tickets seem like a
nice way of padding salary
without a raise." said Mark
Summers. a history professor.
“I wish they did something
like that in my department."

For years. Athletics has
given more than 40 employees
free season tickets. The em-
ployees take the tickets to car
dealerships and trade them
for cars. The dealership then
uses the tickets in promotions.

Athletics Director Larry
Ivy defended his department's
practices. saying the ticket ex-
change is a common practice
among Division I schools.

This answer did not satis-
fy many professors.

“I find it hard to believe
that the ticket giveaway is a
standard practice. I think it's
scandalous." said geography
Professor Susan Roberts.

As the ticket swapping
practice upset many profes-
sors. so did the news that

former President Charles
Wetiiington gave Ivy a 10 per»
cent raise in 2001.

"It seems wildly unfair for
athletics people to have raises
while faculty salaries are not
moving much." said Brian
Gren. an assistant professor
in sociology.

Staff salaries are just as
stagnant. Gren added.

“UK has overlooked the
staff minimum wage while the
Athletics Department is get
ting free tickets." Gren said.
"Most staff can‘t even afford to
get to the game."

After the NCAA released
sanctions for the football team
last month, President Lee
Todd formed a committee to
review all athletic practices.
from Ivy's raise to the “tick
ets-for-cars" program.

The committee will report
to Todd in a few weeks,

Vernon Wiehe. a social
work professor. said it‘s noble
that Todd is reviewing the de»
partment: “I have great confi-
dence in the committee."

Some professors said they
are not shocked at the news.

“It‘s not surprising." said
Michael Carter. an English
professor. "Nothing surprises
me anymore. "

NEW ORLEANS « Despite terrorism wor-
ries. a slow economy and competition from the

cers arrested 207 people in the French Quarter

Valentine‘s Day couples
talk about their sweethearts.

Sara Schwabe. an [SC se-
nior, and Tony Drake. a psy-
chology graduate student.

Sara said:

Tony and I met at a party
of a mutual friend. He was
with a big group of friends.
and I was with a big group of
my friends. We kept making
eye contact until I went up
and talked to him. We hung
out all night and made plans
to go out the following week—
end. The first date was a little
nerve wracking for us both.
however. we made. it through
and we have been together
ever since (a little over a
year). Tony listens to me. he
believes in me. he‘s motivated.
he‘s understanding. he's spon~
taneous. he's romantic. he
rubs my feet. he‘s great. he
keeps me sane (really). he ac-
cepts my flaws (they are nu-
merous) and most of all. I tru-
ly believe that he would do
anything in the world for me
—~ and that is just a wonderful
feeling.

Mark Johnson, on archi-
tecture sophomore. and Alison
Thompson. a pre—nursing
sophomore.

Alison said:

Mark and I went on
Spring Break during our se-
nior year of high school. I
went with his church and we
ended up hanging out all
week. He asked me to go to
Thunder Over Louisville and
he hasn‘t stopped amazing
me since.

I‘ve been through some
difficult family times during
our relationship and without
his constant prayers and
strength. I really don't think
I‘d be where I am today. God
knew my life was changing. so
he sent me an angel. Mark. to
guard me and love me as
unconditionally as humanly
possible. Although these past
three years have been
extremely difficult. he's
helped to make them the best
three years of my life.

Tony said:

She's the only woman I‘ve
ever known that is as enthusi~
astic about my goals and
dreams as I am. She is talent-
ed. beautiful. intelligent. pas-
sionate and a cutie. She ac-
cepts me for who I am even
though that is far from per-
fect. She forgives me when 1
make mistakes and can make
me smile when I've had a bad
day. She loves to cook with
me. she puts up with me. she
leaves me notes when I least
expect it. She has the most
beautiful skin: her eyes are
electric and I love her
little feet.

She is always there for me
no matter what.

Mark said:

I like the little things she
does. like one time she sur-
prised me by doing my laun-
dry when I was busy with
schoolwork. That was great.

What was even better was
that she left notes in my pock-
ets. I love her great smile and
the looks she gives me
things like that.

One thing that stands out
about Allison is her love for
God and love for people. That
is one thing that makes her
stand out from a lot of other
girls I know.

Arraigned: Judge orders psychiatric exam

ASSOCIATED PRESS

FAIRFIELD. Conn.
Necole Arrigo‘s class at Fair‘-
ﬁeld University was discussing
the concept of time when a con-
fused-looking young man stum~
bled into the room with what he
claimed was a bomb.

The next few hours would
seem like an eternity.

Patrick Arbelo. 24. a legally
blind 2001 graduate of the Ro-
man Catholic university. an-
nounced to the class that he
was a member of “The National
United Federalist Socialist Par-

_ ‘ And he was holding a box
with a wire sticking out of it.

He ordered the students to
put their hands on their heads.
He told them to toss their book
bags out of the classroom and
tape up the windows. And he
gave what Arrigo called a
“modemday Nazi statement.“

The standoff ended seven
hours later when the last of the
28 hostages were released and a
jittery Arbelo gave tip without a
struggle. No one was injured.
Police said Wednesday that the
box (lid not contain a bomb.

“We didn‘t think that it was
a joke. but we thought it might
be sonte sort of drill." Arrigo

div/“W

we. 4.1.1" 9/ Use,

said in an interview Wednes-
day. when classes resumed.
“Then we noticed the teacher
was very nervous."

Arbelo was arraigned
Wednesday on 28 counts of kid-
napping. Bail was set at $1 mil-
lion. and the judge also ordered
a psychiatric exam.

Arbelo‘s lawyer. William
Neary. had no comment,

Arrigo. a 19-year-old sopho-
more from Boston. had seen Ar-
belo in the corridor of Canisius
Hall on Tuesday. a few minutes
before the “Voices of Medieval
Women" religious-studies class.
and he looked out of place.

The class‘ 27 students and
professor were discussing the
difference between normal time
and the way time seems at peak
moments of your life when Ar-
belo walked in. "It was weird.
The first 45 minutes was really
scary." Arrigo said.

The police arrived and Ar-
belo began talking with them
on a two-way radio that he had
brought with him. He demand-
ed his statement be read to the
media.
books that he wanted the
public to read Police refused
his demands.
