Say goodbye to curly cords and
desk phones if you live in UK‘s
domis.

UK students living in housing
on—campus can no longer use a
landline provided by UK Housing
in their dorms unless they place a
request with UK Communications.
said Ben Crutcher. associate vice
president of auxiliary services.

"The switch was made for this
school year becaUse students are
relying more on cell phones over
landlines." (‘rutchei‘ said

A part of student housing tees.
was a $35 charge per month per
line for each student living in a TC»
idence hall. bill that charge was re-
moved when UK Housing stopped
offering the landline service. Both
students and the university are sav-
ing money with the decision to do
away with landlines. (‘rtitcher said.

Housing pays UK Communica-
tions for phone service in each domi
room. The cost for supplying a line
in each room is roughly $840000.
After eliminating landlin'es. l‘K will
invest 8150.000 in increasing lnter-
net bandwidth. The rest will be in
savings. (‘rutcher said.

However. not all universities are
reriioving landlines as cell phone ll's~
age becomes more popular. Western
Kentucky University has no plans to
get rid of their landlines for their
doniis. said lidwrn Craft. director ol
telecrimriiuriicatioiis at WKl'.

The landlines add safety for
students and students still use the
service .. 334.000 phone calls were
made in WKUs dorms during the
2007-08 school year.

“Each campus shoiild evaluate
their situation‘s cost and benefits to
removing their landlines." (‘raft
said. "Basically campuses should
ensure the best access to technolo-
gy and safety. Those are concerns
that all universities look at."

UK students have mixed feel-
ings about whether or not landlines
should have been removed.

Psychology freshman Stacie
Hall said her parents had to buy a
cell phone for her instead of the
cheaper landline phone she had
planned on purchasing.

“I think it just makes things
more hectic for students." Ball
said. “Some people have limited
minutes so they may just be able to
talk to their family after 9 pm. and
during the weekends."

Fashion merchandising fresh»
man Kelly Rafferty said her older
sister never used a landline in col-
lege. so she didn‘t believe she
would use one. either.

“I‘m on my cell phone all the
time." Rafferty said. “(The decision
to get rid of landlines) probably
won't affect students. plus it will
probably save UK money. Those
students that do need landlines
should probably contact UK."

As of Thursday. only seven stu-
dents had subscribed for the land»
line service offered by L'K (‘om‘
munications.

Every day college students sit down at their
computers and check Facebook for nevi messages
and friend requests. But now. those friends are not
just people met through class or a party A they are
UK professors.

Facebookcom began as a social networking
Web site devoted to the average college student. As
the site grew. it became accessible to \ mually every
person over the age of 13 with a valid email ad
dress . including your professors.

While students make up the vast majority of the
site's population. university professors have caught
on to the popular phenomenon.

UK accounting professor Art (ioldman has had
a Facebook account for several years. (ioldiiian
found out sortie of his students had created a lace-
book group called "I Have Accounting with Art
Goldman Group." so he thought making an account
would be fun.

“I had to make my own page My name was
on the group’s title." Goldman joked.

Having a Pacebook account enables the user
to share pictures. write public comments or per—
sonal messages. along with many other capabili~
ties. Goldman uses Facebook because it is addic-
tive.

"The kids know I'm silly in class. but when
they look at my Facebook page. they can find out
that I‘m even sillier." he said.

But not all people think it is a good idea for
professors to connect with students this way. Letitia
Baldrige. American author and etiquette expert. said
that being too close to a student‘s personal life
could be haniiful to professors.

"A lot of people are going to see your specific

page lialdrige said "l'liei'e's not much coiiftden
tiality between the professor and the student ”

The Web site was created by Mark Zrickeiberg
in early 2004. Originally. the Web site was limited
to Harvard l'niversity. where Zuckerberg attended.
Within the next year. l‘acebook exploded nationally
and quickly became one of the largest social net-
working Web sites. next to My Space.

The capabitlity ot "wall-posting" is public to
anyone who can see a user 's profile. However. the
riser can have that specific application deleted. as
new Facebook tiser President Lee Todd did.

Todd has had a Facebook account for three
weeks. and already has over 330 “friends." Director
of Marketing Kelley Bo/eman says Todd loves the
site but understands the danger ot inappropriate ma-
terial from other people.

"There's a certain level of responsibility the
user has to ha\e for their l‘acebook page." said
Bolcriian. ”Deleting the wall»posting option elimi—
nated inappropriate ptiblic coiiiriieiits."

Although inappropriate comments on the Web
site do surface. lacebook is simply the easiest way
to contact and get to know students. Bo/eman said
the main reason for creating an account for Todd
was to keep students infoi‘iiied.

"Facebook is another notch in our belt to get in-
foriiiatiori out to our students in case anything hap-
pens." she said,

Bozenian also said the information Facebook
provides about students is incredible.

"Facebook is like a local People Magazine. ala
though sometimes it‘s a lot like a National Enqurrv
er." she joked.

For some students. professors are common in

as having a healthy Ricky

there is always something to

the most important for UK to

first game and then watch
themselves on film and see
what they did right and

“I'm just hopeful Pryor
can have a healthy year."
Brooks said. "And if he
does. you won‘t see the 72-

you will see some great

Ricky back and give us that
rotation so we can keep My-

While many saw the
struggles in the running game

on the ground or iiol.

,\ friend of the \\iiiiis. Jonathan
Woods. \\ Ilttcsscd tltc l'lols as w ell. Woods.
also a photographer. said that the police
wanted the protestors before using L’ltctttf'
cal deterrent.

“There was a pretty good \olunie of
tear gas and pepper spra) used.” Woods
said "The rubber bullets are what really
got people nioiing."

Woods said that it was a dynamic sitti—
ation and the cops had a hard time getting
a handle on things.

“\\e talked about safety before they
went." Lutti'ell said. "They had emergency
phone numbers on their arms. l'he_\ had
badges that said press. Britney‘s asthma
medication was taped to her leg. Some»
times things get out of hand. and we dis-
cussed all of that before they left."

Of those arrested Monday. four were
journalists accredited with the Republican
National (‘onientioiL said Tom Walsh.
public information officer for the St. Paul
Police Department Howe\ er. he said. that
does not include journalists affiliated with
Republication National (‘onventionaac—
credited groups. including some bloggers
and photographers such as .liiii Winn.
Mclntosh and Matthews.

Such a small group of accredited jour-
nalists being arrested means police aren‘t
targeting journalism. but criminal behavior.
Walsh said.

”There are literally thousands of jour~
nalists here. and the) ‘\‘e managed to co\cr
their stories (without getting arrested).
which would imply there‘s nothing going
on there." Walsh said.

Amy Goodman. the host of T\' pro-
gram “Democracy Now l". was arrested
along with two of the program‘s produc-
ers. Associated Press photographer Matt
Rourke was arrested as well. Rourke
photographed Matthews being sprayed
with pepper spray before both were ai>
rested.

“lf journalists are being arrested and
the police are not separating them lrom the
rioters. who is going to be there to report
on the event itself?" Luttrell said. “JountaL
ists being arrested for doing their job is a
form of censorship."

Although o\erall security was tight at
the coti\‘ention. (‘ioodiiian was “thrown in
the paddy wagon and her credentials were
ripped off." said .laiie Kiitley. e\eciiti\'e di~
rector of the Reporters Committee for
Freedom of the Press from 1985 to 199‘).

"I think it‘s important to acknowledge
the police do ha\c a job to do and we
don‘t condone the destruction of property."
Kirtley said. “but the point is journalists
have a job to do and that they should not
be impeded from doing that work. Their
First Amendment rights should be respect»
ed."

Matthew's. Mclntosh and Winn could
not be reached for comment. 'l'hey are
scheduled to be released Wednesday
around noon.

Vocal protesters take

to the

streets

of St. Paul again,

By Heron Mi uoz Estrada. Randy

ST. PAUL. Mimi. — A vocal
group of demonstrators took to
the streets of St. Paul. Mrnn..
again Tuesday evening. voicing
their anger about economic jus-
tice issues on Day 2 of the Re—
publican National Convention.

The number of protesters and
arrests were way down from the
10.000 who marched and the
nearly 300 who were arrested
Monday. but police and demon—
strators“ did clash briefly.

Trading choruses of “Whose
streets? Our streets," more than
500 people started marching at
Mears Park through downtown
before their numbers swelled at
the Capitol. They disbanded at
the Xcel Energy Center as dark-
ness fell on a cooler day about 8
pm.

At least 10 people were arc
rested Tuesday. including four at
a tense shtflvdown with police ofs
ficers on horseback about 5:30
pm. on the comer of 5th and Wa-
couta streets. The officers pepper—
sprayed some demonstrators
blocking the intersection after one
man pulled on a police horse‘s
reins. ‘

When the marchers snaked
their way from Lowertown to the
Capitol. with hundreds of cops in
riot gear lining the route, the
crowd mushroomed to more than
2.000. That's because concertgos
ers at an all-day music. art and ac
tivism festival called “Ripple Ef—
fect" joined the final leg of the
march to the Xcel Energy Center.

Rumors swept through the
crowd that the rap-metal group
"Rage Against the Machine" was
going to play on the Capitol lawn.
But they had no permit and didn‘t
perform because the power was
turned off.

lt marked the third straight
day of protest rallies and marches
through downtown St. Paul since
GOP delegates began arriving
Sunday. Although the size of
Tuesday‘s gathering was smaller.
they were vocal and passionate.

“There is a war on the poor
and we need to better equip our—
selves and prepare the masses for
what‘s going to take place." said
Willie Fleming. who came up
from Chicago's Cabrini Green
public housing complex to join
the protest.

He said America‘s poor are
being displaced because of a lack
of affordable hotisiiig and he
compared the plight of disadvan—
taged to international crises in Su—
dan and Kosovo.

The demonstration started
with a rally in Mears Park. which
was also delayed for more than
90 minutes because Dower had
been shut off for security reasons.
