CELEBRATING 37 YEARS OF INDEPENDENCE

Campus safety program not seeing much use

By Jennifer Grehein
lgraham kykernelcom

Fiddling with his iPhone. Cadet
Clayton Pack waits patiently for
someone to ask for his services.
TWo hours later, he has not moved
an inch from his SAFEC ATS station
in WT. Young Library.

SAFECATS. which stands for
Security Assistance for Escorting
Campus Area Travelers. is spon-
sored by UK Police and run by Air
Force ROTC. The program began in
the 1980s to promote safety on cam—
pus by offering to walk students
home Sunday through Thursday
8:30 pm. until 1:30 am.

“It's a program that was tradi—

tionally sponsored by Student Gov-
ernment. but UK Police took it over
last year.“ said Maj. .loe Monroe,
UK‘s interim police chief. “Not all
the time is there an officer available
to escort, so this is why the ROTC
runs the program."

Cadet Jamian Carrasquillo. an
ROTC safety officer and biology
junior. said SAFECATS has not had
mass amounts of students reaping
the benefits it offers, with a little
over a handful of students a night.

“We average about five escorts a
night just from the library," Car-
rasquillo said. “Sometimes people
just don‘t want to use it because
they are shy and don’t want to ask
[for an escort]."

Sociology senior Onnastasia
Hanville said she probably would

don't want to use (SAFE-
CATS) because they are shy
and don't want to ask...”

not use the service because she feels
safe in places she walks.

“When I come from classes. I
feel safe enough to walk in the lit

areas,“ she said. "Most of the time.
you hear that the attacks happen be-
tween two and four in the moming.
I don‘t think I‘m really susceptible
to that kind of thing when I‘m walk-
ing in lit areas at 9:30 pm."

While some students may
choose to not use SAFECATS. C ar-
rasquillo said the low tumour might
have something to do with the lack
of advertising.

“Maybe before. people knew
about it so they didn‘t really adver-
tise. but now there are new students
and the word needs to get out about
SAFECATS.“ he said. “We've been
working with our budget to get
signs around campus as well as
cards with our numbers. That's the

plan right now."

"Part of the problem is that stu-
dents don't know about or choose
not to use the escort service." Mon-
roe said. “We are always looking for
ways to let students know about the
program."

Some students said one way
they leamed about the program was
during freshman orientation.

“I heard about it freshman year
and saw the SAFECATS in the li-
brary.” nursing junior Brionna Matz
said. "At the time I was using it
freshman year. I didn’t want to walk
alone. The campus can be scary and
big."

SG passes
green fee by
one vote

By Kelli Long
klong@kykernel.com

The Student Govemment Senate passed a reso—

lution supporting a $6 to $8 green fee at Wednes-
day's meeting by a vote of 16—15. The resolution
passed despite the author's request to table the leg—
islation until a committee could be formed to dis-
cuss recommendations on how the money would
be allocated.

Sen. Mark Rouse withdrew an amendment he
presented at the Senate meeting two weeks ago
that laid out specific stipulations to how the money
would be allocated. including a call for UK Presi—
dent Lee Todd to sign the American College and
University Presidents Climate Commitment and
appoint _a sustainability coordinator

Sen. Robert Kahne. the sponsor of the original
resolution. recommended tabling the resolution un-
til Nov. 5 so a committee could discuss what
should be done With the green fee money and pres-
ent those plans as an amendment. The Senate vot-
ed against that recommendation.

The original resolution was then voted on and
passed by a one-vote margin.

“I‘m really happy that it passed." Kahne said.
“It was not really the way that I planned. but 1 am
still happy it passed. It gives us a great opportunity
to do a lot of good."

Some senators thought it was important to vote
at the meeting Wednesday so that progress could
be made on the issue.

"It is important to vote and to set up a commit-
tee to explore the issue." said Sen. Sierra Enlow
“This way we can move on and action can iake
place."

Not all senators were in favor of voting for the
resolution before a committee could develop sug-
gestions.

“This is six to eight dollars that is not going to
organizations like (L'niversity Health Servicesl."
said Sen. Rob Oakley. “This is a piece of the pic
that is going somewhere without a plan."

A committee will be fomied and the first meet-
ing will be Friday. Oct. l0 in the 50 office at 3:30
pm. All students are invited to attend.

Also at the meeting. the Senate voted to give
$5.000 from the SG Appropriations and Revenue
account toward funding the WT Young Library so
that it can be open 24 hours a day. five days a
week. This amount will be combined with $5.000
that will come from the executive operational fund
to amount to the $ l0.000 SG President Tyler Mon-
tell pledged to give the library last week.

“When I was talking to the Provost (about ex-
tending the library‘s hours). 1 wanted to know what
we could do to speed along the process." Montell
said. “l said that we could contribute $10,000. and
asked what could that do. and that money is one of
the reasons that the library will be open this quick—

ly.”

Divmg coach Ted Hautau demonstrates a technique to sophomore diver JESSI Snowden during practice on Oct 2

Same standards, new reflection

By Leila Kalegi
|ka|egi@kykernel.com

When students look into the
pool at swimming and diving meets
this year. there will be a new reflec—
tion to replace the one of former
UK diving coach Mike Lyden.

Ted Hautau will face the daunt-
ing task this year of replacing a leg-
endary coach. Hautau was hired as
the new diving coach. replacing Ly-
den. who died in April after a long
battle with cancer. Lyden spent 16
years coaching for UK. where he
earned Southeastern Conference
Women‘s Diving Coach of the Year
in 2005 and 2006.

“Not a day goes by that I don‘t
look over to that side of the pool
and expect Mike to be there."
swimming coach (iary (‘onclly
said. “But the transition of adding
Ted was not difficult: the transition
is not having Mike."

As he heads into this season.
Hautau is well aware of the stan
dards he has to live up to.

"I‘m following probably one of

the best coaches in the country."
Hautau said. “He was so successful
on the collegiate side; he just had a
national champion. He was the
toughest coach out there. just de-

manded so much and l have a lot of

respect and regard for Mike. I want

to come in here and turn it up and
just keep the tradition he had here
going."

Before coming to l'K. Hautau
spent two and a hall seasons at
North Carolina. l3 seasons at
Davidson. and last season at North
Carolina State.

However. Hautau has pl'CHtllls
ties to the L'K swimming and div
ing learn and staff. Hautau l\ inaiw
ried to former lK di\cr .le\lC;l
Thompson. Thompson claimed the
three—meter SEC Championship in
3005 and \\ as a tlii'cc»tiinc .\ll«

New music venue opens downtown

By Margaret Barr
features©kykernelcom

Music fans can rejoice.
there‘s a new gig in town. And
no. it is not the reopening of
The Dame. The Cultural
Preservation Resources
opened Wednesday.

Not only is CPR a music
venue. but it is also a consign-
ment shop that carries hand
made items and artwork. The
shop is located next to Al‘s
Bar. close to the comer of 0th
Street and North Limestone.

Bourbon County native
Darin King decided to start his
own music venue because mu-
sic has always been a passion
of his. and he felt there weren‘t
enough venues in Lexington.

“Music is a very direct way
to communicate without talk-
ing and it can be very effective
at altering your state of mind."
King said.

King‘s friends were another
reason for opening up the ven-
ue.

“I came up with the idea to
run a music venue when I had

friends that needed a place to
play." King said. “l'vc been
hosting (do-itsyourselfl shows
at my house. The Shrieking
Shack.‘ for a little over a year.
but it got to be a little much
with our already hectic family
schedule."

The decision to incorporate
a consignment shop with the
music venue was an easy
choice for King.

“I‘ve always been interest.
ed in haiing a place to sell
stencilcd T‘shirts and other
miscellaneous things 1 have

made." King said. “The idea of
a consignment shop for afford
able handmade items and art
seemed to mesh well with the
desire to run a venue."

As far as the shop goes.
people cart expect items from
different local artists King said
he encourages supporting our
local artists

“The more we support our
local artists. the more our mon»
ey stays right here in our local
economy."

Student revs up bicycle with gas motor

1 Biology sophe

news kykernelcom

Not many people can say they
get 150 miles per gallon with their
main mode of transportation. but
Mitch Elliott can.

Elliott. a biology sophomore.
wanted to find a more efficient way
to get to campus from his house
two miles away. He originally
bought a parking pass for $232. but
after figuring out that finding a
parking spot was a daily challenge.
he decided to find an alternative
mode of transportation.

Elliott got an idea from his

friends uncle. who was installing
motors on bicycles for $500.

Thinking that price tag was too
high. Elliott decided he would try
and build a motor on his bike him-
self instead. After searching on
eBay. Elliott found the same type of
kit his friends uncle was using for
much cheaper.

“The engine with shipping and
handling was $180. plus the price
of gas and oil." Elliott said. “For
the price. it will completely pay for
itself if l ride 900 miles."

He bought and attached the
small gas-powered motor to his bi-
cycle. To start the engine. Elliott

“health.“ " Vie-eel“ ' ~_ *

said he has to pedal until he reaches
10 miles per hour. Once the engine
gets started. the bike can go up to
32 miles per hour.

The kit gave detailed directions
on how to install the motor. How-
ever. minor adjustments have to be
made before the bike is motorized.
in fact. the only type of bike that
the kit works on is an adult-sized
bike with a triangular frame.

“it was tedious and required a
lot of tools and you have to know
how an engine works to build it and
know how to mix fuel with it." El—

kw: a tune .com

Ifbeer and pizza are the way

to a student’s heart. Pazzo’s Piz~

za Pub has been winning the
hearts of UK students for more
than eight years.

The restaurant opened in
2000 on South Limestone, com-
fortably in the middle of a col—
lege campus and served a simple
menu of multi-topping pizzas
and a wide variety of beers.

“(The location) creates a
campus atmosphere,” said Cody
Latimer. floor manager at Paz-
zo’s. “it's nicer than some bars
but not as nice as some that re-

quire a strict dress code. Plus, all
college students love beer and
pm!’

“The restaurant. featuring
three indoor bars and an outdoor
patio bar, has 40 beers including
lager, ale and cider offerings on
rotating taps.

Pam’s offers daily pint spe-
cials featuring beers like Spaten
Lager. Sierra Nevada. Newcas-
tle, Blue Moon. Franziskaner
Hefe and Kentucky Ale. But one
night a week draws a bigger
crowd than the others.
Wednesday night is Pint
Night at Pazzo’s and people start
lining up more than two hours
before the special starts at 6:30.

Latimer said. Each Pint Night
features a special beer served in
pint glasses from the breweries.
Pint Night customers can take
the glasses with the beer logos
home as souvenirs.

“Pint Night-is a night where
we offer an appreciation to our
customers," Latimer said.

October’s featured pints will
include beers from Germany,
Canada, Ireland and England but
next week. the regular event will
feature a special pint: a locally
brewed beer.

Pint Night will be held on
Tuesday. Oct. 14, instead of
Wednesday and will feature
English India Pale Ale brewed in

Lexington at Alltech‘s Lexington
Brewing Company.

Jim Larson. a processing en-
gineer at Alltech. said the Eng-
lish WA is one of three beers
made in Lexington. The brew is
a combination of English ale and
Irish ale.

The majority of the restau—
rant‘s business on Pint Night
comes from groups of regulars,
said Natalie Karl, a server at
Pazzo‘s. Latimer said people
should get to the restaurant early
to get a table; otherwise the wait
could be up to three hours.

“The building seats 460
(people) and we may well fill
that up two or three times and

some tables are camped out the
entire night." Lattimer said.

“It’s one hell of a hay night.
but at long as you’re here early
and ready to eat and drink you
should be fine. As long as you
can stand a good Wait. I Would
say it’s a. good nfiddle-of-the
week thing to (lo-if you don‘t
have anything school wise or
work wise."

Latimer advised'everyone to
drink responsibly. _

Hard to hit Stop on ‘Not Animal’

"Not Animal" is a superhuman al-
burn.

The Margot and the Nuclear So and
80's album. released last Tuesday. sticks
to the same bursts of
flanged arid distorted
guitar. chorused key-
boards with compli-
ments of piano and
speculative lyrics
that made its first al—
bum. “Dust of Re—
treat." a quiet suc~
cess. ‘

The entire album
lives through what
seems to be another
autobiographical
tale. told by lead
voice. Richard Edwards. But it‘s easy to
misread Edwards‘ lyrics of alcohol.
drugs and disagreements. The band’s
name comes from the Wes Anderson
movie. "The Royal Tennenbaums" and
critics have said that "Dust of Retreat"
may have been intended to create a mys—
tical city. as seen in the movie.

The parallels between the two albums

are so strong that “Not Animal“ seems to
be a sequel and not just another album.
Edwards' lyrics once again come off
drunk. angry. ecstatic. satisfied. confused.
sarcastic. mysterious. blissful and sexual
to give a roller coaster of emotions.

The song. "Broadripple is Burning."
takes the role that “Talking ln Code"
played on Margot's last album. “Talking
in Code" helps finish off the last album
with a tale of a relationship with a mis-
understanding. and ends “I‘m long
gone.“ But “Broadripple is Burning"
doesn't leave any suspense.

It‘s a tale of a woman‘s lover drink-
ing himself to death, and he comes back
as a ghost because he blames her for his
death. which of course. involved
whiskey and cigarettes. Edwards' signa-
ture self medication.

Both songs are bone—chilling tales
that have eerie energy that builds from a
single acoustic guitar to an ensemble of
instruments and perfect harmonies. The
song‘s lyrics will haunt you long after
you've turned off your iPod.

Songs like "Broadripple is Burning"
and “A Children‘s Crusade on Acid" had

acoustic demos released this summer.
but come alive all over again with the
addition of the other seven group mem-
bers to Richard Edwards’ raw vocals.

In “Broadripple is Burning" there
are a few changes. such as instead of
snorting cocaine. Edwards‘ exchanges
the lyric “the girls are getting sick off
huffing glue up in the bathroom while
your boyfriends pick up chicks.“

While the young Edwards is open
about drugs and alcohol. neither of the
group‘s albums come off as arrogant.
drugged~out rockstar mantras. Instead
they are a crutch in the tales of hardships
and bad relationships. which may or
may not be anymore socially acceptable
than jerk-off. rockstar ego. But. it seems
the latter is less approved in the indie-
world Margot hails from.

“Not Animal" was Margot’s first
major album with their new label. Epic.
They didn't turn on their roots and
stayed true to what made another album
that will haunt you. even after you’ve hit
the Stop button.

Bringing sexual awareness to the mix

presentation are reasons why

 

 

By Kristin Stock
features®kykernetcom

Campus resembles stew.
It has the potatoes. onion.
carrots and other vegetables
all mixed together to give off
a good aroma. and each veg—
etable retains its flavor. but
they all mix to make a con~
gealed flavor.

The vegetables resemble
the students. We are all from
different racial. ethnic. cultur-
al and social backgrounds.
We learn from each other to
create one pot of stew. Some-
times we don't think one veg—
etable would go with another
until we try and understand.

Shane Windmeyer will
help the campus understand
our fellow students and how
we mix together in a presen-
tation on sexual orientation

on Thursday.

“This event will bring
greater awareness to the diffi—
culty of conting ‘o‘ut' in a fra-
ternity of sorority." Wind-
meyer said.

Windmeyer came “out“
to his fratemity in 1994. and
said the positive reinforce—
ment he received from his
fraternity brothers allowed
him for the past 10 years to
speak to others about accept-
ance.

Windmeyer has written
several books about homo—
sexuals in fraternities and
sororities. He has also trav—
eled to campuses to educate
students on issues within the
gay. lesbian. bisexual and
transgender community.

“This is a great opportu-
nity for students to under—
stand the hardships of the

(gay. lesbian. bisexual. trans—
gender) community.“ said
Alan Herbst. director of En-
gaging lssues for the Student
Activities Board.

Herbst believes it is im-
portant to make people aware
of these issues. People are
still homophobic or do not
understand the lifestyles of
gays. lesbians. bisexuals or
transgenders. he said.

Herbst said many stu-
dents came from rural back-
grounds where there are
stereotypes and no variety of
backgrounds. UK helps those
students diversify their lives
and realize that being gay is
not a big deal.

“I don‘t think we have a
problem with homophobia."
Herbst said. “This campus is
tolerant."

Events like Windmeyer"s

students are aware of the sim-
ilarities between gay and
straight people.

“They‘re just like you."
he said.

That is the message SAB
would like students to obtain
from the presentation; under-
standing different lifestyles.
Herbst said.

Windmeyer said there
needs to be greater awareness
of being homosexual in a fra—
ternity or sorority. and stu-
dents need to know the issues
are no laughing matter.

“Having gay jokes is just
as bad as having racist jokes
in fraternities and sororities."
Windmeyer said.

The event will take place
Thursday night at 7:30 in the
Student Center Grand Ball-
room.
