Celebrating 33 years of independence

 

.‘REEDOF-

Speaker Rev. Albert Pennybacker listens to some young singers attending the Freedom and Faith tour on its stop in Lexington.

Religious groups protest war

_By Bennie Mill_s
THE KENTUCKY KERNEL

Followers of several different
faiths gathered at Red Mile on
Monday when the Freedom and
Faith Bus Tour: Break the Silence

Rally stopped in Lexington.

The rally was to protest Ameri-
can involvement Iraq. The Free—
dom and Faith Bus Tour was coor-

dinated by the Building
Beloved Community. which

organized by the Clergy and Laity

Network.

The Clergy and Laity Network
was organized in 2003 by members
of the progressive religious com-

munity who are opposed to the
Bush Administration.

Speaker Cindy Sheehan. whose
son was killed in Iraq. is 8 found-
ing member of the Gold Star Fam-
ilies for Peace , an organization
that aims to implement a plan to
bring home the soldiers from war.

Other speakers at the event
were Rev. Nancy .10 Kemper. the
director of the Kentucky Council
of Churches. Kathy Stein. repre-
sentative for Kentucky Legisla‘
ture and Rev. Albert Pennybacker.
CEO of the Clergy and Iiaity Net-
work of Kentucky:

“There's no question that the
United States did not go through

the
was

all of the rigorous questioning be-
fore it went to war in lraq." said
Rev. John Rausch. coordinator for
the Peace and Justice Office of the
Catholic Diocese of Lexington. “It
used preemptive strike as just one
more weapon in their arsenal of
how they‘re going to control the
world."

Speakers at the rally said the
decision to go to war was one of
arrogance and faithlessness.

“I know that all the people
have come to this rally tonight to
break the silence to begin a move-
ment that will spread and spread
and spread until we win." Kemper
said.

The bus tour also visited
Chicago. Indianapolis, Columbus.

Ohio and Pittsburgh and Cleve- ‘

land.

“We are talking about a reli- ‘

gious community that looks for
political change that reflects the
values of progressive people."

Pennybacker said. “and we are Q
concerned about a broad agenda 1
of deeply held religious concerns

for the well-being of all people."

SG appointments ' After _ U. S. protest,

delayed by suit

By Doug Scott
nit KENTUCKY mm

The UK Student Govern-
ment Senate met Sunday to
debate and vote on a budget
for the upcoming school year
and appointments to the
SupremeCourt and executive
branch.

Without enough senators
to have a quorum and with a
lawsuit pending. Will Nash
couldn‘t take a vote on his ap-
pointments to the Supreme
Court and executive branch
Sunday

The injunction placed on
Nash‘s presidency on Tues-
day will further delay the ap-
pointment of the new SG
Supreme Court

Although the senate
failed to meet quorum. the
members still debated and
approved an interim budget
for July. August and Septem-
ber. but could not vote on ju-
dicial and executive appoint-
ments.

The 2005-2006 SG budget
includes funds for operating
costs within the Student Gov-
ernment body. as well as ser-
vices. such as SafeCdats and
221«Rl[)E. and events such as
Welcome Week activities and
Gator Roast.

SG‘s budget this fiscal
year is estimated at swans

of which an estimated
8301.146 will come from rev-
enue in the form of students
fees.

The allotted budget also
includes 850.000 from former
president Rachael Watts' ad-
ministration and $1.000 car-
ried over from last year‘s
funds.

According to the budget

proposal discussed at Sun-
day‘s meeting. $3,000 will be
spent on SG operating costs.
which includes 810.000 to
support l.(‘(‘ student govern»
ment and 330.000 for public
relations.

The proposed budget also
includes a 8186.3(X) allotment
for campus services and
$8.000 for election expenses
next spring.

lf SG follows the pro-
posed budget. it will be left
with a 377.046 surplus.

If the Ellingsworth ad
ministration is reinstated.
Nash‘s choices for those posi-
tions may be overturned.

“If that (liliingsworth's
reinstatement) were to hap~
pen. I think the person has
the right to fire his or her
staff." Nash said. “at their
own will for various rea-
sons."

"The head of the execu-
tive branch should be al-
lowed to have folks work for
him or her that are at his
choosing." said Senate Oper-
ations and Evaluations
Chairman Benjamin Carter.

Carter voiced his objec-
tion to Nash's appointments
before. during and after the
Senate meeting.

“This right here would
have been very presumptu-
ous." Carter said.

“With the controversy
we're having in court and the
problems we're having in de-
termining the exact authori-
ty of the court. how can you
turn around and appoint
four justices?"

WASHINGTON-After a stern protest
by the Bush administration. Pakistan lift-
led travel restrictions imposed on a Pak-
jistani gang rape victim. freeing her to
fivisit the United States for a high-profile
lseries of speeches.

‘ Mukhtar Mai earned international
renown after she demanded the prosecu-
‘tion of men who had raped her on the or
lders of a traditional village council in
lJune 2002.

. According to testimony. the council
sordered the rape as punishment after
:Mai‘s teenage brother allegedly offended
a powerful clan by having an affair with
‘the sister of one of the accused men.

I But last Friday. a court ordered the re-
lease of 12 men connected with her case.
'and Mai was reportedly detained and re-
[fused permission to leave the country af-
iter she indicated she planned to speak
[out about the plight of rural women in
lher country.

1 She is an illiterate laborer's daughter
who now runs two primary schools in her
jvillage with help from the government
land private donors.

i US. criticism of Pakistan in the case
.contrasted with President Bush‘s praise
of the country's president. Gen. Pervez
Musharraf. as a visionary leader trying
.to moderate his country's image.

Pakistan has also played a key role in

lthe battle against al-Qaida. but US. offi-
icials said they were appalled by the gov-
lernment's actions in this case.
I “We were confronted with what I can
ionly say was an outrageous situation."
lState Department spokesman Sean Mc-
(‘ormack told reporters.

Pakistan allows ’
rape Victim to travel «

“Her attackers were ordered to bd
freed while she had restrictions on her
travel placed on ber.". .

"We conveyed our views about thesd
restrictions to the senior levels of thd
Pakistani government."

McCormack. who opened his daily
briefing Wednesday with the statement
on the case. described Mai as “a courai
geous woman who is a victim of a hon
rendous crime." ‘

He said the Pakistani government told
us. officials she had been removed froni
the exit control list that prevents overs
seas travel.

Mai is expected to speak next week iri
Washington and five other cities at events
organized by the Asian-American Neti
work Against Abuse of Women. .

The Asian American Network Against;
Abuse of Women is a group that pr04
motes human rights and social justice fort
South Asian women. ;

The Pakistani Embassy in Washingj
ton issued a statement late Wednesdayl
that depicted Mai's situation differently. l

Mai was “not under detention and ha
no bar on her traveling abroad." th
statement said. but had asked for “polic
protection after being threatened by th
relatives of the accused in the case."

The embassy said that rather than be
ing under house arrest. as was widely re
ported. she was attending a luncheon a
the time in Islamabad.

Mai had not traveled to the Unite
States because of "the illness of he
mother“ but would come to the US. soon
the embassy said.

The embassy. calling Mai “a woman 0
great courage." asserted that the “mis
statement of facts in her case" ha
caused her “great mental agony"

Judge
. grants
Injunction

president

Tricia Spaulding
THE KENTUCKY mutt

An injunction to keep Will
Nash, newly elected Student
Government president, from
being sworn in was granted
Tuesday in Fayette Circuit
Court.

The injunction was grant-
ed so Judge Gary Payne could
review the case brought by
80 presidential candidate
Becky Ellingsworth against
UK for the school's involve-
ment in the election.

Payne's injunction came
just before Nash was to be
sworn in at the Board of
Trustee‘s meeting on Tuesday.

Ellingsworth’s suit
charges that UK acted outside
its jurisdiction by allowing
the University Appeals Board
to reverse the SG Supreme
Court decision to disqualify
Will Nash from the presiden-
cy over a campaign spending
violation.

“1 am happy with the
court's decision. My next
move is to see what the uni-
versity has to say."
Ellingsworth said.

“We maintain
and always
have main-
tained that the
university has
the right to
hear appeals
by students."
Jay Blanton

UK spokesman

Ellingsworth claims the
university interfered because
the SG Supreme Court is “the
final arbitrator" in all student
government decisions.

Nash said he respects the
circuit court‘s decision and
“looks forward to the next
hearing."

UK spokesman. Jay Blan-
ton said. “UK is disappointed
in this decision. We are tak-
ing time to review our legal
options. but we maintain and
always have maintained that
the university has the right to
hear appeals by students. fact
ulty and staff and act on
those appeals in accordance
with our governing regula-
tions."

This injunction may mean
there will not be a SG presi-
dent sworn in when Rachel
Watts. SG’s current president.
leaves office on June 30th .

“There will be a hole.
There will be no president."
Ellingsworth said.

Ellingsworth also said
Rachel Watts cannot remain
president until a decision is
made because the court has
ordered the position remain
empty.

Blanton said the next
Board of Trustees meeting is-
n‘t until September and he is
expecting the issue to be re-
solved by then.

“Our hope and expectation
is that this issue will be re-
solved by school and it won't
present a problem." Blanton
says.

This week‘s reccomenda-

‘ tion is But I ‘m a Cheerleader

(1999).

This film. directed by
Jamie Babbit is not your typ»

Natasha Lyonne (fromAmeri-
can Pie fame) and Clea Du»
Vail (The Grudge) as tWO
star-crossed lesbian lovers.
this satirical film explores
the world of sexual orienta’
tion gone awry. and how soci<
ety deals with those who
don't conform to America’s
cookie-cutter idea of life and
love.

Lyonne plays Megan
Bloomfield (interesting last

naive teen cheerleader who
seems to have the perfect life.
Although she appears to be
blissfully happy. her friends
and family become worried
when they discover that

tures of other girls taped to
her locker door, loves Melis-
sa Etheridge. and is “too
friendly" with fellow cheer-
leaders.

To address this
“strange" behavior. Megan‘s
parents send her off to a

league of sexual misfits by

is a (*gasp*l “girly-man."
who comically struts around

can be changed). it remains

Making ‘The Cut’ with Tommy

8y Kara A. Medalis
TNE 51111101111 onocut

Sixteen Tommy Hilfiger
wannabes have 13 weeks to
impress the designer without
getting snipped on “The
Cut."

The hopeful designers
will compete in a series of
challenges while living in
New York City. vying for a

-3250000 salary and the op-

portunity to design clothes
under the Tommy Hilfiger la-

:bel.

n...-u..-n-a-..u.--

“They‘ re going to live my
-life in fast- forward‘ Hilfiger
says.

“This is not about design-
ing clothes. this is about de~
signing a lifestyle.“

In the premiere last
Thursday. Hilfiger singled
out his two favorite people
based on first impressions.
Julie and Rob.

Each picked teammates
from the remaining candi-
dates and the groups were
given the task of creating an
original Tommy Hilfiger bill
board in Times Square. with
$3.000 each. in 48 hours. in
the snow (it's all very "Ap-
prentice"»like).

Chris C. who originally
hails from Bridgeport. Conn.
(he calls it “the ghetto"). ap-
points himself the leader of
the Broadway team.

They create a large. mul-
ticolored. painted canvas. in
which they imprint Hilfiger's
mostly unknown crest logo.
The canvas is tacked onto the
billboard. which isn‘t dis-
tinctly “Tommy Hilfiger-15h".

On the 50th Street team.
Felix dreams up a new slo-
gan for Hilfiger: “TOM-
MYNY". which is incorporat-
ed into the team ‘s bright New
York City skyline design.

Tommy creates a Hilfiger
logo flag but changes its sig
nature red. white and blue to
orange. purple and green.

“I don‘t think you should
impose your colors on...an es-
tablished brand name." Hil-
figer later chastises Tommy.

During the Style Forum
(think “The Apprentice“
boardroom. only no one‘s sit-
ting and the set is much
fiashier). Hilfiger says.
“Quite frankly. both bill-
boards were underwhelm-
ing."

He says the Broadway
team‘s abstract billboard
lacks “focus and direction."
and the 50th Street team's
“looks juvenile."

“But the TOMMYNY logo
you came up with is out
standing." he tells the 50th
Street team. and declares it
the winner.

Hilfiger recognizes that

(‘ hris C. participated the
most on the Broadway team
so he asks him which of his
teammates participated least.

Chris C. picks former
beauty queen Jessica and
personal shopper Amy.

While Jessica wasn‘t
much of a leader. she saved
her team money at the print-
er. whereas Amy lacked ini~
tiative and creativity. and
was constantly heard shout-
ing over her teammates.

“Amy. you're out of style.
You‘ll have to take the run
way" Hilfiger says (again.
how “You‘re firedl" is that?).

“Hopefully I‘ll find a
great talent in the room. but
at this point in time. I am pet-
rified." he says after his first
cut.

SG election dispute must

Just when we thought that we were out
they pull us back in.

As Michael Corleone thought he was
through with the mob business and pre-
pared to live a clean life in The Godfather.
Part III, we thought Tuesday's meeting of
the Board of Trustees would put an end to
the disputed Student Government presiden-
tial election so we could move on to more
important matters.

We both should have known better.

The ending of the final chapter in the
Godfather saga showed us that Corleone
never did escape organized crime, and.
judging from the happenings of the past few
days, it looks like the chances UK students
will escape from this election insanity any-
time soon aren‘t too good either.

But as far as the latter goes, that‘s not
the way it should be.

It has now been 77 days since Will Nash
and Michelle Bishop were announced the
winners of the SG presidency and vice-pres-
idency, and students still don't know who

will represent them when the fall semester
begins.

That‘s because, in the days following the
March election, presidential candidates
Becky Ellingsworth and Tommy
Cunningham set into motion a series of
appeals that have dead-

the election results, declaring Ellingsworth
86 President.

The University Appeals Board set things
straight last month when the group consist-
ing of both students and faculty reinstated
Nash as the proper winner of the election.

used to overturn the elec-
tion in favor of
Ellingsworth “fatally
flawed.“

The appeals board got
it right, and it should
have ended there. But it
didn‘t.

Ellingsworth actually
took the matter to

 

extent of the infractions
should not have resulted in the their dis»
qualification from holding office.

But the SG Board of Elections and SG
Supreme Court, both of which now seem to
hold either a clear pro-Ellingsworth or anti-
Nash bias. saw otherwise and overturned

Fayette Circuit Court, fil-
ing a suit that named President Lee Todd.
Vice President of Student Affairs Part
Terrell and Vice President of Student
Affairs Victor Hazard, among others, in
hopes that the court would issue an injunc-
tion barring Nash from taking office and

end now

eventually, declare Ellingsworth the winner.

Amazingly, Fayette County Circuit
Judge Gary Payne granted the first of
Ellingsworth's requests Tuesday, issuing
the injunction barring Nash from assuming
his presidential duties at the same hour he
was due to take the oath of office at a Board
of Trustees meeting.

This cannot go on any longer. Seventy
seven days is much too long to wait and see
who will represent the student body on the
university’s decision making council. The
longer this mess drags on in the courts, the
less credible whoever actually takes office
will be viewed by the university trustees.

That's something we can‘t afford.

We have one voice on the Board of
Trustees and it must be heard.

For the sake of this university and the
well being of all students, Ellingsworth
must end her attempts to overtake the SG
presidency.

And the sooner that happens, the better
off we’ll all be.

Ellingsworth suit belongs in the toilet

In his 2004 attempt to thwart the reelec-
tion bid of then~Student Government
President Rachel Watts. Shamus Greene
based his campaign
around an idea that was.
well, a little odd.

The Kirwan Tower
resident advisor simply
wanted to provide every
bathroom on campus
with toilet seat covers.

Greene didn‘t come
close to winning. but I
would still be interested
to hear the outspoken
former candidate's take
on the current situation
regarding the office he unsuccessfully pur-
sued.

My first question: Is there a big enough
toilet seat cover in existence to shield the
UK student community from what is quick-
ly devolving into the rankest lavatory on
campus ~ the Student Government office.

Every time our endless SG election soap
opera seemed to draw toward a close. a
more and more asinine development
popped up to prolong the show even longer.

So why should this week have been any
different?

Two days ago. the Fayette County
Circuit Court granted an injunction sought
by presidential candidate Becky
Ellingsworth to prevent SG President Elect
Will Nash from assuming his presidential
duties.

That move came 75 days after Nash and
running mate Michelle Bishop received 171
more votes than Ellingsworth and vice—
presidential candidate Kyle Burns, 64 days
after the SG Board of Elections disqualified
Nash and Bishop for campaign violations.
62 days after Ellingsworth and Burns were
sworn into office in a closed ceremony
before the appeals process was exhausted.
33 days after the University Appeals Board
decided Nash's violations did not warrant
disqualification and that he should be SG
President, six days after Ellingsworth took
the matter to circuit court, and just min-
utes before Nash was to be administered
the oath of office.

How could all of this happen. you ask?

It‘s quite simple really Virtually no one
occupying the festering stinkpot that is
mom 120 of the Student Center has faintest
idea of what they‘re doing.

In the written decision explaining the
rationale behind the University Appeals
Board decision the reinstate Nash, board

the process used to disqualify Nash “was
fatally flawed and should be critically
reviewed. "

Of course the process was "fatally
flawed" it was overseen by imbeciles.

And what needs to be "critically
