CELEBRATING 37 YEARS OF INDEPENDENCE

 

'SUPER
TUESDAY
GUIDE

The 24 states holding
presidential primaries
and caucuses today
could knock some
candidates out of the
race while fueling the
competition between
others. Today’s Super
Tuesday is the largest
in US. history.

States with both parties holding
-

a primary or caucus today

- States with a Democratic caucus today
- States with a Republican caucus today

 

After tonight's primaries, more than half the
states will have selected the party candidates for
the 2008 presidential election. and the results
could determine whether Kentucky voters will
have a say in the nominations when they go to
the polls on May 20.

Sen Hillary Clinton and Sen. Barack Obama
have been running close on the Democratic tick-
et As for the Republicans, Sen John McCain has
been leading in the polls, but Mitt Romney and
Mike Huckabee are still campaigning behind him.

In Republican primaries, however, whoever
wms the popular vote usually takes the delagate
votes for the entire state, leaving the other candi-
dates far behind.

"If the polls are right, and if a lot of specula-
tion is correct, John McCain will get awful close
to wrapping it up tomorrow," said Donald Gross,
chair of UK's political science department.

That could defeat any chances of Kentucky
playing a role in selecting a Republican nominee,
he said. The Democratic race, however, is "seem-
ingly close enough that it's likely to go on for

some time,” he said, because both Obama and
Clinton will likely win some delegates today in

every state.

Despite Kentucky's late vote, some UK stu-
dents from out of state had the option of voting
in earlier primaries. Making time to file an absen-
tee ballot can be a challenge, though

"It's kind of hard to find time when you are a
student and have so many other things going on,"
said Reginald Smith Jr, a vocal performance and
music freshman from Decatur, Ga, who is now
registered to vote in Kentucky

Smith said he follows politics closely and
even sang the national anthem at an Obama
rally in Lexington in late August Even so, he
said he didn't have time to cast a vote in his
home state.

“I feel responsible to vote When elections
come up and I’m not there for it, it makes me a
little upset with myself," Smith said. "But it's
hard when you're not home, hearing about when
things are going on and keeping up to date with

The Christian Studies Center wants to get
students talking about something that comes

sex.

The center and other UK college min~
istrics are bringing itt Frederica Mathewes-
Green. author of “Gender: Men. Women. Sex.
and Feminism." to host a discussion on how
college students should approach sex. The fo-
rum. titled “The Real Meaning of Sex." will
be held tonight at 7 in the Center Theater of
the Student Center.

Mathewes-Green. a regular contmentator
on religion and public life for National Public
Radio. said the relationship between Chris-
tianity and sex has changed over time. Mis—
conceptions have fornted. particularly in
Western Christian sects. that the soul is good
whereas the body. and bodily acts like sex.
are generally bad.

But the original Christian faith of the
Middle East preserved the Jewish idea of God
permeating all Creation. proclaiming all he
made as “very good." including sex. Math-
ewes-Green said.

“Recovering that sense of goodness will

said.

As Valentine's Day ap—

conversation about sex. said
Phil Tallon. director of the
Christian Studies Center.
which is one reason why the
center chose Mathew/esAGreen
to speak at its forum. An
Evening of Veritas.

“She (Mathewes-Green) is
grounded in the Christian tra-
dition but has a good sense of
what is going on in the con-
temporary world." Tallon said.

"I think that on
college campuses
it's often unusual
for there to
be someone

Although UK bans firearms on
campus. students will be using virtual
ones today in the “Call of Duty 4"
toumainent at the Cats Den in the Stu-

The tournament will be held at
7 p.m.. but Carlos Zavala. Cats
Den special events coordinator.
said students should show up
around 6:30 pm. to register. Ad-
mission is free and prizes will be
given to the winning player.

“Call of Duty 4: Modem War-

fare." a video game released in No-
vember of 2007. has become ex-
tremely popular because of its real-
life cinematic graphics and story
plot. Zavala said.

“it has a lot of action. so it‘s kind
of like watching a movie like ‘Black
Hawk Down.‘ " Livaia said.

Zavala said the game was chosen
for the tournament because it is

“It's really addicting because of
the level system." Schmidt said.
"The more you play. the harder it is
to stop because with each level. you
get more weapons.“

The game is different front other
video games. Zavala said. because
gamers are given a chance to defeat
each other with “modemized fire
power."

He said the game is also more
strategic than others. and features
newer techniques and better graph-
ics.

Even students who do not play
video games would still have a good

time at the toumainent because “it‘s
even fun to jUSl watch." 7.avala said.

Psychology freshman Kerry Ben-

“Nobody has a chance against

Zavala said even inexperienced
gamers should come out to play.

“A lot of people are discour-
aged to come out because they
don‘t think they‘re good enough.
but what I tell them is that you
have to get better somehow."
Zavala said. “The only way to get
better is to play the best.“

SG senator
resigns after
ticket resale
investigation

By Katie Saltz

A new senator will be joining Student
Govemment following the resignation of Sen.
Blake Burnett last week.

Burnett. who was involved in a ticket re-
sale controversy last semester. sent an e-mail
to Senate President Tyler Montell on Thurs—
day resigning as a senator at~large and a
member of the Cont—
ntittee on Commit—
tees.

In the e-mail.
Burnett said he
wanted to focus
more on his future
since he is graduat-
ing in May.

“I feel other
commitments would
keep me from servu
ing 50 and the Stu-
dent Body to my
fullest potential."
Buntett said in the e-
mail. “It is with
some regrets arid
positive memories
front nty time in 50
that 1 ant resigning
from nty position..."

Burnett said he
hopes his time in 50
will be seen positively. He did not return the
Kemel's phone calls or e-ntail yesterday.

Montell said it is possible that Burnett's
decision to resign had sontething to do with
the lmpeachntent and Censurc Committee's
resolution. which found that Burnett and Sen.
Jesse Parrish violated SG‘s ethics codes. The
resolution will be presented to the full Senate
at tomorrow ‘s meeting.

The resolution was written in response to
the ethics investigation of Bumctt and Par-
rish's reselling of tickets for profit to an SG-
sponsored concert in September. The SC
lithics Commission. which investigated the
incident. found that Bumctt committed per-
jury and resold concert tickets for a price
more than face value.

"It could be a strange coincidence. but I
think (his resignation) has to have something
to do with what happened." Montell said.

Seit. Jackie Colgate. a member of the
contntittee that wrote the resolution. said Bur-
nett‘s resignation might be an effort to ptit an
end to the controversy

“l'in surc Blake didn‘t want to put up
with public embarrassment anymore." (‘01.
gate said. “Blake‘s a great guy. he JUSI made a
mistake."

Even though Burnett resigned. Colgate
said the resolution on tltc ethics codes viola»
tioits will still go to the full Scnatc tomorrow

“S(i needs to set a precedent saying un—
ethical behavior will not be tolerated. e\cn it
Blake has resigned." Colgate said. “Students
need to know where senators stand on ethical
behavior. because isenators) are dealing with
student fees and students’ best interests."

Montell agreed. and said the resolution on
the investigation is still important. even after
Burnett resigned front the Senate and after
Parrislt resigned last month as chaimtan of the
.»‘\ppropriations and Rc\cnue Committee.

"This is not a disciplinary action toward
Blake and Jesse." Montell said. “This is a
stand by S(i on what we think is unethical It
you are a student leader at this university. you
are going to be held to a higher standard."

Bumett‘s senate seat will be filled by the
candidate who came in lhth in last year‘s
election. Keyin Meadows. He will be swont
in tomorrow at the ftill Senate meeting.

"It is with some
regrets and posi-
tive memories
from my time in
86 that I am
resigning from
my position."

THE SECRET LIFE
OF HEATH LEDGER

Behind the brilliant acting was a quiet, often
lonely man who loved Matilda — and whom
even Michelle Williams‘ love couldn't save

‘I'I'Ie DiSH

By Mara Reinstein

It took only a moment for
Michelle Williams to absorb the
news that Heath Ledger had
died. "She cried and screamed
as soon as she heard." a source
tells l's ol the actress. who was
in a hotel room in Sweden
(\\ here she was filming Manr
moth) at the time. One night [at
er. when Williams. 27. and
daughter Matilda. 2. arriyed at
Iier townhouse in Brooklyn
Iwhich mourners cosered with
candles. cards and flowers) on
January 23. the anguish was still
\isible_ "She looked like she
couldn‘t cry anymore and was
\ei‘y quiet." says a friend. With
mom (‘ai‘la and best trieiid Busy
l’hilipps by her side. she holed
up in her home until January 26.
Says the friend. “Michelle is to;
tally de\astatetl “

She‘s not alone. Since police
confirmed that the ()scaitnomi-
nated actor. 28. was lound dead

ary 22. the emotional after»

Williams and es Naomi Watts)
honored him during a 304mnute
memorial at L..I\,\ l’iercc
Brothers Mortuary. ”We miss
him terribly." uncle Mike
Ledger tells l’s. adding that
Ledgei was in Perth during

Christmas. "(irowing up. he
came regularly for get-togethers.
We had a couple horses and
Heath would ride them. We‘ve
got fond memories of those
days." Nonetheless. new twists
surrounding his final moments
including a surprising con~
Iiection to Mary-Kate Olsen
unfold seemingly by the hour.

A Doomed Love Story

The few who knew Ledger
well paint him as a charismatic
but lowekey "bloke" who loved
to play chess. skateboard in
Brooklyn and dote on Matilda.
"I saw him all the time playing
with his daughter in the school
park .‘ neighboi Richie \aigas
tells is “He was a father. and
he had a lot of respect for men
who took their kids to the park."
Michelle Vella. a staffer at
NYC's ('alypso [infant kids‘
store. tells l's. "He came in ot-
ten with her. He was always pa
tient when she asked questions."
Vella notes Ledger was setting
up a room (or Matilda in his
new apartment in NY("s SoHo
area. and had recently picked
out a bookcase for her.

By all accounts. Ledger and
Williams‘ romance. which blos-
somed in 200-1 on the Calgary.
Albeita. set of Brokeback Moun—
tain. started out as idyllic. The
two bonded after Williams iii-
jured her knee on set. “I always
felt like I had to look after her af-
ter that.‘~ Ledger has said. “We
_|ll.\l fell \ery deeply into one an—
other‘s anns. Our bodies definite—
ly made those decisions for us (to
have Matildai." Their daughter
was bom in October 2005.

But things soured oy er time,
According to multiple sources.
the actor was steadily losing a
prolonged battle with alcohol

and "a variety of pills." says a
Ledger confidant and

attributes the addictions to de-

drank a lot drank to get
drunk." says a source. “it didn‘t
make him angry. Jtist somber."
The Ledger confidant adds.

but never confirmed an engage—

But after months of fighting.
Ledger and Williams "realized
they were in way over their
heads." says a source. The cou-
ple split for good in September
2007. Two sources close to the
couple tell Us she demanded he
be drug-tested whenever he was
to be alone with Matilda. though
a Ledger friend disputes the
claim. saying there were no reg»

this point it doesn‘t matter who
we‘re playing. We just have to
continue to do what we‘re doing
regardless of who we‘re up
against.“

For the five seniors on the
team. each win increases the
chance of prolonging their UK
careers into the postseason

“We got to regionals last
year.“ Barnes said. “JUsI mak-
ing it there is not an achieve-
ment. we want to get some—
thing done. We put our whole
lives irtto this. As seniors. it‘s

everything.“

Patterson is that he doesn‘t
shoot it enough

least 32 nunutes iit four straight
games and appears to be
healthy enough to go the rest of
the season. But the (‘ats are tak—
ing risks if they play their Iii-

jured players. especially Meeks.

Hip itijuries have ended the
careers of some athletes. Wlto
knows the severity of Meeks‘
injury"? But (iillispie has said
for some time that Meeks‘s hip
has not been healing quickly

To be fair. Meeks didn‘t play
agairtst (ieorgia. But he play ed in
the three games before the Athens
trip after sittiitg out against NIIS'
sissippi State on Jart. 15. Playing
a game or a stretch of games here
and there. and sitting otit some of
the other games doesn‘t seem like
the best way to recover front air
injury.
