Dancing cows, a ribbon-
cutting ceremony and the re-
minder to “eat more chicken“
marked the arrival of popular
fast~food chain Chick-fil-A to
the Food Court in UK's Stu-
dent Center.

The new restaurant is
hoped to be the first step in
bringing new life to the din-
ing facilities in the Student
Center. ofﬁcials said.

“This is like night and
day," said UK Dining Services
Director Jeff DeMoss, gestur-
ing to the packed side of the
Food Court with the new
Chick-ﬁl-A and the other side.
“It tells us we need to revital-
ize our Food Court."

In a dining survey con-
ducted two years ago. stu-

dents voted Chick- fil- A as the
top chain restaurant they
wanted in the Student Cen-
ter’s Food Court. DeMoss said.
UK is also now on the growing
list of 155 college campuses
across the country with
Chick-fil-A restaurants. All
but one Southeastern Confer-
ence school. Vanderbilt, has
one of the chain’s restaurants.
said Sean Warren, a Chick-fil-
A senior consultant in busi-
ness development.

“We‘ve been licensing the
brand on college campuses
since 1992," Warren said. “Col-
lege students are existing cus-
tomers but they’re also tomor-
row's customers. Having it on
campus exposes students to
it."

Senior guard Stockton ignites team

Four days before the biggest game so far this
season, the smallest Wildcat on the squad helped
make sure the UK men’s basketball team didn’t

suffer a letdown

Defending national champ North Carolina
comes to town Saturday, but the Cats had to con-
tend with the High Point Panthers last night, and
Sfoot-Qinch Brandon Stockton played an unusual-

ly high-proﬁle role in UK’s 7555 victory.

Stockton normally comes off the bench, and
he typically isn’t one of the ﬁrst several options
for UK head coach Tubby Smith. But last night, he
entered with just under 10 minutes leﬁ in the ﬁrst
half after starter Ravi Moss picked up his second

foul, with the Cats holding a 17-15 edge.

The senior guard made the most of his oppor-
tunity, dishing out three assists and swiping a pair
of steals down the stretch in the ﬁrst half, helping
the Cats to a 34-30 lead at the intermission.

After pulling down a rebound, UK forward
Sheray Thomas hit point guard Rajon Rondo with
court-length pass to put UK (51) up for good. with
a 2826 lead at the time. After another Panther
miss, Rondo broke his man down and banked in a

lay-up.

Stockton stole the inbound pass and immedi-
ately hit Rondo under the basket to stretch the
lead to six, bringing the 19.980 fans in Rupp Arena
to their feet and forcing Panther head coach Bart

Lundy to call a timeout.

“Brandon gave us a big lift coming off the
bench tonight," Smith said. “He gives us a lot of
poise. He’s under control and can get us in our of-

fense

“(Stockton) stole the ball and made the right
decisions with his passes." he said. “He’s really

rival on the court. “Coach grabbed my
arm, and I wasn't expecting it."

Defensively, he held his own. but
LeMaster made his waves on the of-
fensive end. He dished out an assist to
Brandon Stockton for three points. He
also wasn't shy about pulling the trig-
ger himself, releasing a jumper from
the left corner 23 seconds into his ap
pearance that clanged off the rim.

Unlike most pageants, beauty will be lauded
as more than skin deep at the Miss Black and

7:30 in Memorial Hall.

Eight black female UK students will show
case their talents. intelligence and poise at a
scholarship pageant that tests the minds of con-

The pageant also serves another purpose.

“Not only is this a scholarship pageant." said
Alpha Phi Alpha assistant district director and

The admission is $3 or $2 with a canned good

Abortion rights
panel sparks
intense debate

By Sean Rose
in: KENTUCKY mm

The subject of abortion returned to UK‘s
campus with a heated discussion and fiery out-
bursts in the auditorium of WT. Young Library
last night.

A four person pro-choice panel spoke during
a forum on the state of reproductive laws in
Kentucky and America in front of a packed au~
ditorium.

Elizabeth Strom. who Works at the EMW
Women's Surgical Center. an abortion clinic in
Lexington. said even though abortion is legal.
women face more restrictions over their repro-
ductive rights than before the landmark 1973
Supreme Court case Roe v. Wade. which in part
legalized unrestricted abortions in the ﬁrst
trimester of a pregnancy

“Women are not trusted by society to make
an informed. moral choice about our reproduc-
tive health." Strom said. “Forced pregnancy en-
slaves women to a biological process."

Strom said the real issue behind abortion

Johnson said.

Johnson said blacks must take pos-
itive measures in supporting one an-
other.

“We need to take a proactive step to
evaluate ways to increase problems on
campus for blacks." he said. About 40
people attended the forum.

Black Greeks can also step up and
set a standard of participation to en-
courage other non-Greeks to take part.

“We need to do a better job of set-
ting an example for the black commu
nity." said integrated strategic commu.
nication junior Alise Marshall.

“I think it‘s a little over-the-top, but
l'm proud to have Chick-fil-A here and
I'm proud they support good morals,"
said political science freshman Ashley
Grigsby, referring to Chick-fil-A‘s con.
servative religious leanings.

Some students said they were only
there for the free food and weren't as
impressed with the ceremony.

“It’s kind of over-the-top." said sec-
ondary education freshman Ben
O’Brien. “Too much effort put into a
grand opening."

"It's ridiculous." said English fresh-
man Ryan Cash. "There's balloons and

Marshall also said black students
can help generate a better feeling of
support amongst themselves.

“We need to create a warm environ-
ment," Marshall said.

Marshall suggested blacks could
support each other at events and said
something as simple as speaking to
other black students on campus would
be a start instead of walking by with-
out saying anything.

Other members of Johnson's fra-
ternity expressed thankfulness for the
turnout and the openness of the dis-
cussion.

“Overall. I really appreciated that
so many black students came out from
different organizations,” said Jonah

Relay for Life aims to raise $25,000 for cancer

By Clay White

THE KENTUCKY KERNEL

This week. the UK chap-
ter of Relay for Life kicked
off a five-month fundraising
drive that will culminate in
an overnight event that will
take place in mid-April.

Corky Miller. a represen-
tative of the American Can-
cer Society. said Relay for
Life is the signature event of
his organization. which is
the largest non-profit com-
munity fundraising organi-
zation in the world.

“(Relay for Life) is really
for celebrating those who lost
their lives to cancer, those
facing it now and the hope
that one day. cancer will be
eliminated.” Miller said.

Miller said Relay for Life
will be a 12‘ to 24-hour.
overnight event in which
people from different teams
will take turns walking
around a track. Each team is
asked to have a representa-
tive on the track at all times.

Miller said through
events like Relay for Life, the
American Cancer Society
has been able to raise $2.5 bil-
lion for cancer research
since 1946. Aside from fund-
ing research. the organiza-
tion has instituted a number

inflation" as?

DENVER President
Bush yesterday wrapped up a
twoday visit to the Southwest
to promote his policy for
stemming the tide of illegal
immigration, vowing that his
administration will “enforce
our border."

Bush started his day in El
Paso. where his motorcade
drove along a dusty road just
inside the border with Mexi-
co. Afterward. Bush repeated
his observation that it will
take a multi-pronged plan to
get a handle on the growing
problem of illegal immigra»
tion.

“We've got a comprehen-
sive strategy that says we‘re
going to enforce this border."
Bush said. "We‘re going to
prevent people from coming
here in the first place. And
then I told you we've got to
have better interior enforce-
ment. plus a rational worker
plan that is not amnesty“

The visit to the border
highlighted the second day of
Bush‘s effort to win support

programs for cancer patients
and their families.

Evidence of the cancer
society's charity work exists
on UK’s campus. A structure
currently being built near
the Nutter Center and be-
hind the Wildcat Clubhouse
off Sports Center Drive.
which will be called the
“Hope Lodge,“ will provide
free room and board for up to
six weeks for out-of-town
cancer patients receiving
treatment in the city, as well
as their families.

Scott Clark. chairman of
UK Relay for Life. said the
group raised more than
313.000 last year. This year's
goal has been substantially
increased to $25,000.

“The goal is to get $75 to
$100 per person." said Clark.
a marketing senior. “I hope to
easily meet that (goal) and go
beyond it."

Teams of students. facul-
ty and staff do most of the
fund raising. Clark said. This
year. 50 teams 7» 20 more
than last year _, are pursu-
ing that 325.000 goal.

Mike Richardson. a politi»
cal science senior. is team
captain of the College De-
mocrats‘ Relay for Life con~
tingent. As a captain. it's his
job to organize and motivate
his team to perform a variety

for his plan to step up border
security and immigration en-
forcement while instituting a
guest-worker program that
would grant foreign workers
temporary legal status to take
jobs that go unﬁlled by Amer-
icans. On Monday. he gave a
speech in Tucson urging law-
makers to support his plan for
revamping the nation's immi.
gration laws.

Ofﬁcials including Attor-
ney General Alberto Gonza<
les. Homeland Secmity Secre—
tary Michael Chertoff and
Texas Gov. Rick Perry. R.
joined Bush in his tour.

El Paso. like most areas
along the 2.000-mile border
with Mexico. has experienced
an increase in the number of
illegal immigrants in recent
years despite intensiﬁed en-
forcement efforts that include
high-tech sensors. more Bor-
der Patrol agents and cam»
eras aimed at catching illegal
entrants into the country.

Government agents have
captured 4.5 million people
trying to cross the southern
border since 2001. Nonethe~
less. the number of illegal im-

of fundraising tasks, such as
car washes.

“We did it last year and
had a lot of fun." Richardson
said. “Plus. it’s a really good
cause Any time you can do
something for somebody else.
it’s worth it.“

Richardson said student
teams are formed either from
the various participating stu-
dent organizations. or by in-
dividuals on their own initia-
tive.

Relay for Life will take
place April 20 and April 21.
Clark said. but a site has not
yet been determined. Al-
though teams are supposed
to be limited to just 12 to 15
people. groups may be as
large as they want. he said.

Clark‘s commitment to
Relay for Life grew out of his
own experience as a cancer
survivor. Clark was diag-
nosed with leukemia at age 4
and was in remission until
he was 14. when he suffered a
relapse and went through
four years of treatment.

“I won my battle with
cancer, but 1 relay for all
those friends I met along the
way that lost their battle." he
said.

After his tour of the bor-
der. Bush traveled to C01-
orado, where he was the fea-
tured speaker at a fundraiser
for Rep. Marilyn Musgrave. R-
Colo.

Bush’s approval ratings
have fallen to record lows in
recent months. causing some
Republican candidates to dis-
tance themselves from some
of his policies. Nonetheless.
as the 2006 midterm elections
draw closer. Bush remains a
fundraising force. at least for
conservative Republicans.
The $1.000-a-ticket event in a
downtovm hotel here was esti~
mated to have grossed
8450.000 for Musgrave‘s re-
election campaign.

“She‘s not only a hard

her re-election. “And that‘s a

The new dormitory on North Campus, called “New North Hall," is one of four dorms that opened for this school year. UK also built three new dorms on South Campus. The four buildings are
the first new dorms at UK since 1979, when the university unveiled the Greq Page Apartments, which are located behind Central Baptist Hospital and the arboretum off Alumni Drive.

It‘s been a little more than three
months since the official opening of
UK‘s four newest residential halls.
and the overall reaction to the dorms
has been positive. especially from
students living in them.

These dorms are the first on-cam—
pus housing to open since the unveil
ing of Greg Page Apartments in 1979.

”Sixty percent of returning stu-
dents that applied by the priority reg-
istration date did secure a bed. Re-
turning students were those who had
to listen to the noise and see the con-
struction. We felt they earned their
beds.” said Sarah Nikirk. ITK‘s asso»
ciate director of auxiliary services.

Three of the four new dorms are
named after UK graduates and are lo-

Hall. is on North Campus.

President Lee Todd said the new
dorms represent the first of several
initiatives that will be unveiled as
part of a yearlong focus on under-
graduate education at UK.

Each residential ﬂoor furnishes
two study areas. a full kitchen. a lob~

The four facilities provide more
than 271.000 square feet of residen-

conﬁgured in suites. There is also im-
proved ventilation equipment and
noncommunal bathrooms that ad-

“They have everything you would
want in a dorm.“ said Melissa McAu-
liffe. a communication freshman and
Smith Hall resident. “It feels like
you‘re living in a hotel."

While the advantages of the new
dorms do not go unnoticed by stu-
dents occupying the old dorms. some
said they don't regret their current
living conditions.

“I think the new dorms are nice. I
like the adjoining bathroom. but no. I
don‘t wish I lived in the new dorms."
said undeclared freshman Christy
Krill.

“I really like Kirwan Tower ._, it's
a lot of fun and very comfortable."
she said.

While glitches and malfunctions
in new dorms are inevitable. stu
dents understand they will be cor-

nicer."

may be legally challenged.
