Friday, February 3. 2006 Celebrating 35 years of independence

3 days later, UK finds. U-Connect fix

By Tim Wiseman
m: KENTUCKY mun

UK Information Technology has
identified the problem with the U-
Connect System, but there remains
work to be done for students, faculty
and staff to return to their inboxes.

The problem arose as a result of
UK’s password synchronization
plan — an effort to give each user
one password for all UK online ac-
tivities. That meant having the sys-
tem’s more than 80,000 passwords
reset, said Doyle Friskney, UK’s
chief technology officer

As of this week, some 30,000
passwords had yet to be changed, he

said. When a U-Connect server re-
booted, Friskney said it reset those
passwords and led to the lockout.

“The network worked; the mail
was there," he said. “But no one
knew the passwo

UK has reset the affected pass-
words to the UKIT default password,
which is “u” followed a dollar sign
(3) and then the last six digits of a
user’s Social Security number. All of
the passwords should have been re-
set by late yesterday, Friskney said.

Since Monday afternoon, many
of U-Connect’s 50,000 accounts have
been inaccessible to users as a re-
sult of the password problem.
Locked out, many on campus have

not been able to read or send e-mail
week.

Now the system is up and run-
ning, but the work lies in getting the
word out.

“The biggest problem we have
right now is telling everybody their
password and then getting them to
change it,” he said. “What we’ve
been doing this afternoon is trying
to make sure everyone knows their
password and what to do."

To publicize the procedure for
getting back online, UKIT has
worked with faculty, staff and grad-
uate students to help inform as
many people as possible. The steps
for resetting the password have also

been posted in computer labs across
campus and on UK’s Web pages.

Friskney said those who have
had trouble logging in should go to
the U-Connect Account Manager at
http://uconnect.uky.edu/manager
and follow these steps:

I Enter current ID and current
password. If the log-in succeeds, the
password has not been affected.

I If the password fails, then it
has been changed to the default. Try
the user ID with the default pass-
word. If that works, the password

.can be changed to the user’s prefer-

ence.
I If this fails, try again later as
the account still may be processed

by UKIT.

After changing the password,
users may still have trouble access-
ing their email due to the “sluggish
ness" of the server. As long as users
have been able to log in to the Ac-
count Manager, they should soon be
able to get their e-mail, Friskney
said.

As passwords are reset, he said
U-Connect would return to its nor-
mal speed.

“As people use the correct pass-
words, even the sluggishness will go
away,” Friskney said.

Campus honors Kin

By Ryan Evans

Coretta Scott King once said.
“Freedom is never really won,
you earn it and win it in every
generation.”

These words were one of the
key messages of the UK memori-
al service held yesterday for
King, who died on January 31.
She was 78.

The service, held in the Stu-
dent Center, attracted a number
of UK students, administrators
and faculty members. The ser-
vice was opened with an invoca-
tion by Rev. Willis Polk, the pas-
tor of the Imani Baptist Church
of Lexington and a rendition of
“Amazing‘Grace” by UK vocal
performance and opera senior
Afton Battle.

The service was hosted by the
UK chapter of Alpha Kappa Al-

pha, of which King was a mem-
ber.

“Coretta Scott King repre-
sented a very important part of
this country's civil rights move-
ment," said Ricardo Nazario
Colon, Director of the UK Martin
Luther King Cultural Center.

“We have to keep this genera-
tion in touch with that legacy”

King’s legacy was the fore
most subject of the service. King
devoted her life to preserving and
spreading her husband’s philoso
phy of nonviolence and also par-
ticipated in many anti-poverty ef~
forts. She was the driving force
behind the effort to establish a
national holiday in honor of her
husband, which began in 1936.

“i think that students should
learn this lesson from this memo
rial service: that the accomplish-
ments of Mrs. King and other
civil rights icons took a great

Officials
target
students’
downloads

UK administrators can now identify
those who are downloading illegally

By Dariush Shafa
m: xmucxv KERNEL

Though no more illegal downloading
lawsuits have been filed against UK stu-
dents since the first three a year ago.
campus administrators said download-
ing now carries an even greater risk of
detection than before.

Last year, UK couldn‘t be sure of who
was using the computer system to down-
load.

That situation has changed.

“This year. when we get a complaint
like that, we know exactly who to deliver
it to." Cotter said.

If a student has a file-sharing com-
plaint leveled against them, the universi-
ty will notify them that they need to
delete copyrighted material from their
computer, remove the file-sharing pro-
grams and never do it again. During the
2005 school year, 469 students had such
complaints brought against them.

If a student has a second complaint
brought against them. they will be sent
to the dean of students, something
which has already happened to two stu-
dents this semester.

Because UK‘s campus networks now
allow administrators to be certain of
who is downloading. if a subpoena is is-
sued. UK has only one option.

“We'll have to turn that name over.“
Cotter said.

Though UK only had three students
named in illegal downloading lawsuits.
that doesn‘t mean students should feel
safe betting against the law of averages.

“If they (students) are engaging in
file downloading in some way where
they‘re not paying royalties to the artist.
they're playing Russian Roulette." said

FILM REVIEW: ‘THE New WORLD'

 

Beauty of ‘World' only skin deep

By Chris Collins
mt lithium mu

Director Terrence Mal-
ick’s latest film, “The New
World," is basically a love
story between John Smith,
played by Colin Farrell, and
Pocahontas played by Q'ori-
anka Kilcher. While I have
no objections to love stories,
I would prefer that the two
in love speak a common lan-
guage, at least on film. Then,
you know, maybe the audi—
ence could follow along.
This is one of a few prob-
lems with the movie.

Now, let me say right
now that I am a huge Malick
fan. I loved “Badlands,"
“Days of Heaven," and “The
Thin Red Line." I walked
into the theater expecting
something similar, and
while the movie is visually
stunning, the story was
somewhat lacking.

The film opens with the
English landing at
Jamestown and Smith set to
hang upon arrival. The
leader of the expedition,
Captain Newport. played by
Christopher Plummer. par-
dons Smith when he realizes
there is an awful lot to be
done when settling a new
land. On one of his trips
into the mainland Smith is
sentenced to die by an im-
promptu Indian council he

 

stumbles upon and is res-
cued by the chief ’5 daughter.
Pocahontas, with whom he
falls in love.

Smith can‘t lead his men
because he thinks of Poca-
hontas all the time. He can’t
barter for goods with the 10-
cals, and he can’t make deci-
sions regarding disputes
among his own people.
Smith is eventually forced
out of command by the set-
tlers and relegated to work»
ing alongside them. When
the Indians realize that the
settlers plan to stay for good
they organize a war party to
attack the English and. ac-
cordingly, banish Pocahon-

eum W In u: aim
Colin Farrell stars a John Smith in the Terrence Malick film "The New World"
which chronicles the trials and the tribulations of the Jamestown colony.

tas from their tribe. Poca-
hontas joins the English and
Smith becomes more in con-
flicted with himself. Should
he forget about this ro-
mance, or should he fall for
this native who apparently
feels the same way about
him?

The movie is beautiful
on screen and Kilcher is a
very attractive newcomer
who basically steals scenes
from those around her. The
score by John Hopper is
warm and haunting and
helps make the romance be-
tween Smith and Pocahon-
tas seem doomed from the
outset. Farrell does a good

job of acting indecisive and
lost in the Virginia wilder-
ness.

The opening scene dur-
ing which the Indians watch
the English land their ships
is just plain awesome.

Unfortunately, the story
just isn‘t there. Entire dia-
logues among the Indians
are given without subtitles
so the audience never
knows them as characters.
In fact, the only Indian who
gets some kind of character
development is Pocahontas’
brother.

Fans of Malick will ap-
preciate the look of the film
and be familiar with the
voice-overs that accompany
it. However, while those
voice-overs of internal dia-
logue worked for the conflict
of war in “The Thin Red
Line" they seem almost far—
cical in “The New World"
when they are used to de-
scribe subjective feelings of
love.

You've got to give Malick
credit for constantly biting
off more than any director
could chew, and while the
story is slow and there is no
real climax, the film is just
so gorgeous you can‘t look
away.

King.

UK president Lee Todd
spoke on behalf of the univer-
sity at yesterday's service.
Among the issues he men-
tioned was UK’s emphasis on
diversity.

“Services such as these
give you a chance to rededi-
cate yourself to the high
ideals that the Kings stood for,
and that is something that we
as a university should do both

as individuals and as an insti-
tution," said Todd.

“Both Kings dedicated
their lives to making this
country more diverse, and
that should be a goal our stu-
dents should take from this
service."

Students. to whom the ser-
vice provided a look into civil
rights history. were also af-
fected.

“Students should take a
charge to contribute to eter-
nalizing the legacy of the
Kings," said Tracy Bonilla, a
biology senior.

“Reverend Polk men-
tioned that Coretta had

passed in the same place that
she honeymooned with Dr.
King.

To me. that kind of
demonstrates things coming
full circle. like the need to re-
new the freedoms won every
generation.“

“There are a lot of things
that students of this genera-
tion take for granted," said
George Brown. a councilman
in the Lexington-Fayette
County Urban Government.

“Hopefully this service
will cause us to do a little
more soul-searching, and ask
more questions about how we
can improve what‘s happen-

ing and what's not happen-
ing."

“One of the most impor-
tant messages here is that
freedom and liberty are not
abstractions. but actions that
are taken by individuals,”
said Dr. William Turner, the
UK vice president and associ-
ate provost who served as
master of ceremonies for the
service.

“These virtues do not
come without a price. or with-
out sacriflce. Mrs. King’s life
was an excellent example of
that."

UK Associate General Coun-
sel Katherine Adams, who
works in UK's Legal Counsel
Office.

“Save your money for
your legal expenses." Cotter
said. “It‘s generally $6.000 to
settle."

Cotter and John Tibe. di-
rector of UK Enterprise
Computing and Communica-
tions Systems. both agreed,
however. that downloading is
less of a problem than it used
to be, possibly because there
are more affordable ways to
legally download music.

“It wouldn’t surprise me
if those were making a dent
in peer-topeer (file-shar-
ing)." Cotter said. but added
it‘s not over yet. “As long as
there's mechanisms that fa-
cilitate pirating of music.
videos and games. people
will take advantage of
these."

The threat of legal action
shouldn‘t be the only thing to
deter students from illegally
downloading.

"Quite a few malware in-
fections. which are viruses.
Trojans and worms, are from
peer-to-peer (file~sharing)."
Cotter said, including chat
rooms and instant messaging
as possible ways to allow
malware to infiltrate.

Preventing these kinds of
problems means users take

precautions and avoid
putting themselves at risk.

“The logical defense
against (infection) is to take
advantage of the university’s
free anti-virus tools and free
anti-adware and anti-spy-
ware (software) available
(elsewhere)." Cotter said.
adding properly immunizing
a computer should take no
more than an hour. “(It‘s)
generally little to no difficul-
ty. Just a matter of time."

Cotter also said users
should set their Windows op
erating system machines to
automatically download and
update security protocols
every day from 1 am. to 6
am."

Strong passwords, which
are much more difficult to
break, are also recommend-

ed. To set a strong password,
Tibe recommends a specific
type of password, which
should also be changed every
90 days.

“There’s upper (case let-
ters) and lower (case letters),
numbers and symbols,” Tibe
said. “For a strong password,
you’ve got to draw from at
least three of these."

Overall, the real mission
here is one for the benefit of
UK students.

“(The) Information Tech-
nology (department) is try-
ing to act in the best interests
of students by informing
them of appropriate behav-
ior," Cotter said.

Craig raises UK golf's profile

By Ryan Wood
in: KENTUCKY mm

In 1994 Brian Craig was
living his dream: teeing off
with the pros in the US.
Open.

A scholarship golfer dur-
ing his time at the University
of Florida, Craig was only 24
years old when he played
with PGA Tdur legend Ernie
Els at Oakmont Country
Club in Oakmont, Penn.

“The open is one of those
unique events that everyone
gets a chance to get in,”
Craig said while reminiscing
in his office. “In retrospect,
at least I can always say I
played in a major.”

That's not all the head
coach for UK’s men’s golf
can put on his resume.

The reigning Southeast-
ern Conference coach of the
year also won last year’s con-
ference championship, and
has turned around a college
team in four years.

Craig surprised many, in-
cluding himself, by winning
an SEC tournament in only
his fourth season.

“I never would have
thought we could win the
SEC championship that
quickly,” Craig said. “I
thought we could win one,
but I didn’t think it could
happen that quickly all the
pieces came together.”

Craig doesn‘t take much
of the credit for the team’s
success.

“Ultimately you win with
people and the people we
have are pretty darn special

onship in only his fourth year as
head coach at UK.

makes permanent. If you
practice poorly you get worse
very quickly, if you practice
effectively you can get better
very quickly"

But others in the pro-
gram think Craig is a big
part of the quick turn-
around.

“(Craig) leads by exam-
ple,” assistant coach David
Trainer said. “He has a lot of
balance in his life and that
bleeds over to our players.

“He also knows what he’s
talking about,” Trainer said.
“And there isn’t a single guy
on the team who wouldn't do
anything he asked."

Craig‘s players, current
and past, attribute their suc-
cess to him.

“He’s great to talk to,” se-
nior golfer Matt Kohn said.
“He’s like my second dad.”

This year‘s captain and
the only starter back from
last year’s squad, Kohn came

to UK his freshmen year high
on talent and low on assur-
ance.

“He helped me build my
confidence,” Kohn said. “It
was little things he has
random meetings in the year
to talk about grades, girls
and life. He’s definitely like a
father figure.”

John B. Holmes, a PGA
Tour player and former UK
All-American who played an
integral role in last season’s
SEC championship, gives
credit to his college coach for
preparing him for the next
level.

“Coach Craig helped me a
whole lot,” Holmes said. “He
helped me with parts of my
game I lacked before college.
I’ve taken what I’ve learned
from college over to the
pros.”

After four years under
Craig, UK has back-to—back
top-10 finishes in the NCAA
tournament and the confer-
ence title.

The Cats are currently
ranked 13th in the nation by
Golfweekcom, but the high
ranking still places them be-
hind No. 1 Georgia, No. 4
Florida and sixth-ranked
Tennessee.

UK’s senior captain isn’t
pleased that three conference
foes are ranked higher then
his Cats.

“We’ve always been un-
der the radar," Kohn said.
“Now we are on the radar
(but) we still don’t get any re-

spect."

The remaining 28 stu-

Brooks credits the Cen-

“We meet at least once a

“If we see they’re miss-

them do extra to help push
them to get back on track.”

The stated mission of

Bob Bradley, Associate
Athletics Director for Stu-
dent Services. believes the
CATS program has not only
done that this year, but
every year since it began in
1981.

“This is not an excep-
tional year by our stan-
dards,” Bradley said. “I’ve
been here many years and
this is definitely not the first
time we’ve led the SEC Aca—
demic Honor Roll."

Bradley attributed his
staff and the players for con-
tinually achieving excel-
lence under such difficult
circumstances.

“A huge majority of our
athletes astound me.”
Bradley said. “To have to go
out and travel as much as
they do and then come back
home and maintain a 3.5
grade point average for ex-
ample just amazes me."

Bradley said most people
don’t realize how much pres-
sure is put on the student-
athletes to succeed.

“For a lot of these stu-
dents. they’ve done this
their whole life,“ he said.
“They’ve always been good

with the best-of—the-best stu-

ic school. It just amazes
me."

The program, which
Bradley calls almost like a
fraternity, has more than 300
students a day come through
whether it‘s for tutoring or
just hanging out. They offer
more than 100 hours of tu-
toring a day and some tutors
are on call 24-hours a day.

“The kids that made it
on that list are obviously
very driven," said Bradley.
“They’re the whole pack-
age.”

The Honor Roll an-
nouncement comes just a lit-
tle over a month after three
UK students were selected to
the NCAA All-Academic
team.

“I think it’s just extreme-
ly unusual to have three
players make the All-Acade-
mic team." sad Brooks. “1
think it speaks great vol-
umes about our program.”

IN OUR 0PNN
UK police chief the
right man for the job

Finally, UK has a permanent
police chief again.

The school had been searching
for a new one since former UK Po-
lice Chief Fred Otto III resigned in
November 2004. More than 14
months later. President Lee Todd
introduced McDonald Vick as the
next police chief Wednesday.

Vick seems like a great hire —
he’s more than qualified - but it
was a long time coming.

In the wake of Otto’s depar-
ture, perhaps UK had to take the
long road and guarantee it had the
right person for the job.

Otto left UK after being repri-
manded for having a UK police em-
ployee help him with his doctoral
degree at Eastern Kentucky Uni-
versity.

After that, UK needed to find
someone who could give the posi-
tion credibility again, someone
who could put a good face on the
department again.

During that 14-month search,
UK asked for applicants before re-
opening the search again in hopes
of drawing stronger candidates.
When the final deadline came in
October. the school had 75 candi-
dates, which the search committee
and the consulting firm Waters-
Oldani whittle down.

“Anytime you go through a
transition, you have the opportuni-
ty to find the best in whatever you
want to do," Todd said.

Vick certainly seems to have
the right credentials.

For 10 years. he led the 49-mem-
ber police department at North
Carolina Central University He
has bachelor's and master‘s de-

grees in criminal justice.

“Chief Vick has the right blend
of experience and leadership to
lead this institution’s safety efforts
as we continue down this path,”
Todd said.

Vick will relieve interim police
chief Kevin Franklin in mid-
March, and we hope he will contin-
ue some of the good things
Franklin did on the job.

Franklin pioneered more open
communication between the de-
partment and campus. He avoided
the ambiguous campus safety e-
mail alerts that seemed only to
raise fears.

Once on the job, Vick must con-
tinue this openness by being a vis-
ible presence on campus. And he
must continue to work closely with
the Lexington Police Department.

“We do have a collaborative
kind of relationship in terms of
how their boundaries merge into
the city of Lexington,” said Lex-r
ington Police Chief Anthany Beat-
Q’-

“There are many programs we
work with hand-in'hand. dealing
with activities that affect students
here at the university, the faculty
and the staff."

UK and Lexington need that re-
lationship. and we hope Vick and
Beatty can deliver it.

The campus waited 14 months
for a new permanent police chief
A we believe the wait was worth it
since UK tabbed a highly qualified,
experienced candidate. Now, Vick
must pick up what Franklin began
and give UK some much-needed
stability at one of its most impor-
tant positions.

 

SEC Tournament move
bad deal for students

In the move to Nashville, Tenn.‘s
Gaylord Entertainment Center this
season for the men's Southeastern
Conference basketball tournament.
several sacrifices were made regard-
ing money, including ticket sales.

The arena has a capacity of
17.000, far fewer than Atlanta’s Geor-
gia Dome, the site of the tournament
in 2005 and next year. which holds
40.000

“The Georgia Dome...had enough
seats to take care of everybody. This
year. it's a different situation." said
Joe Sharpe. UK‘s assistant athletic
director and the director of ticket
operations.

Different indeed. The sacrifice
that students made, especially UK
students. the strongest followers of
their basketball team around the
country is a lack of tickets.

Forty tickets are being distrib-
uted in the ticket lottery Feb. 20 at
Memorial Coliseum. The tickets are
10 dollars each. which is fair consid-
ering that each ticket gets its bearer
into a two-game session of the tour-
nament.

Sharpe said last season. 1.000 stu-
dent tickets were sold to each tour—
nament session in which UK partici-
pated.

“Obviously. we were not
thrilled." Sharpe said about the lack
of ticket availability.

This situation, combined with
the fact that selling tickets above
face value in Tennessee is legal,
means that it could cost a student a
pretty penny to see their peers play.

The SEC should consider stu-
dents, the most ardent supporters of
college sports. in its decision on
where to host the conference tourna-
ment.

Sure. playing in an empty arena
for a Thursday or Friday quarterfi-
nal matchup isn't doing the SEC any
favors in regards to its bottom line.

But there is a happy medium: a
facility holding 25,000 people (i.e.,
Rupp Arena, Thompson-Boling Are-
na in Knoxville or Philips Arena in
Atlanta, which seats 21.000).

The SEC has to make money.
There‘s no getting around that. But
people who want to go to the tourna-
ment aren‘t getting the opportunity
to see it because of the move to
Nashville.

That doesn’t seem to make any
business sense. and neither does cut-
ting out their biggest customers of
the future.
