Appointment yields
mixed reactions
among students

Optimism and doubt: Some believe
athletics changes possible; some don't

By Lanlin Sunni:
suuurn urns EDITOR

With Monday’s announcement of UK‘s new athletics
director, Mitch Barnhart, students have mixed feelings
concerning Barnhart’s ability to bring changes to the
athletics department.

"I think current employees associated with UK Ath-
letics are so stuck in their ways that to
be a successful AD, he needs to clean
house, front to back," said Brandon
Johnson, a business sophomore. "If he
doesn’t do that, we’ll be back at the
NCAA sanctions committee soon."

But a former UK student has faith
in Barnhart and sees UK Athletics com-
ing into a new era: former UK basketball
star Sam Bowie.

After Barnhart’s announcement,

Bowie said Barnhart is "young and ener-
getic he knows it’s a big job." Bowie was a member of
the UK athletics advisory committee.

Bowie said Barnhart was the guy immediately after
the group interviewed him.

"He was the guy. I wanted to tell Dr. (Lee) Todd to can-
cel the rest of the interviews and hire him," Bowie said.
"In the interview, he was confident in what his plans were
going to be as AD, but not cocky, conceited."

While reporters capped their ink pens and finished
their sound bytes and TV crews wrapped up lengths of
cable outside of Patterson Office Tower, biology fresh-
man Anna Michaels wondered if the announcement of
Mitch Barnhart is just too much hype.

"I wish all these TV cameras were here when I came
5 to UK" she said. "This university focuses too much on so»
i called star—quality people, but not the common people."

tasked with cleaning up a
program that has been
awash in scandal for the last
year and a half A a scandal
that resulted in UK‘s football
program being placed on
NCAA probation for the next
three years. the loss of schol-
arships and the team being
prohibited from playing in a
post-season bowl game for
the upcoming season.

The actions taken by the
NCAA prompted Todd to per-

the athletics program that
uncovered several question-
able activities taking place,
including department staff
trading basketball tickets for
the use of automobiles from
area car dealers. At the end
of the internal investigation.
then AD Larry Ivy was
forced to resign.

When asked what he
thought about the ticket situ-
ation. Barnhart made his
stance clear.

“I haven't seen tickets or
cars win one game yet." he
said. “I understand there are
some issues with tickets.

With fresh faces coming on campus in the last year
since Todd has been in office, Jessica Neilson welcomes

the change in athletics.

"Hopefully the department and the new AD will fol-
low through with Dr. Todd’s plans of open communica-
tion and not get into any more trouble with the NCAA,"

the English freshman said.

He was the guy. I wanted to
tell Dr. (Lee) Todd to cancel

UK professors will read poems

In the park: Poet laureate will headline
annual event of art, music and literature

By Vaughan Neill -
STAFF IRITER

The sponsors of a popu-
lar poetry festival asked two
UK professors to read their
work with many others Sat-
urday at Woodland Park for
a day of music, poetry, art
and diversity.

“Poetry in the Park: A
Celebration of Kentucky's
Writers" will include many
poets; several are from the
UK community. Kentucky‘s
Poet Laureate James Baker

Hall and Nikky Finney. both
of the English department,
will read.

“Our featured poets al-

Barnhart as the university's

with his salary.

”I think (the compensa-

According to Melissa

these committees are where
the work really gets done.

"That's where the rubber

Barnhart said he prides
himself on his relationship
with the athletes at the uni-

most important people.

"Sometimes what gets
lost when you begin to talk
about the NCAA is the stu-
dent-athletes." he said. “I truv
ly enjoy being around our
student~athletes and that will
be absolutely first and fore-
most what we're doing as a
staff."

During his acceptance
speech Barnhart noted five
principles he expected his
staff to follow: operating iii a
first-class manner. having
great integrity. providing a
great experience for the ath

cal management and compet-
ing for championships in all
sports. When it came to com»

"We will honor our rival

"But make no mistake. we
will compete and own our

KENTUCKY KERIEL I THURSDAY, JULY 18. 2002 I 3

 

Hollywood finds it's important to be earnest when adapting the plays of the past

Of cucumbers
and confus1on

At long last, it‘s finally
happened. After years of hiding my
time, counting the seconds and being
careful not to falter. the moment's
finally here.

I am a movie star.

Well not really And actually,
not at all. But I’ve shared a role with
one, and that's almost as good.

That someone is the quite talent-
ed Mr. Rupert Everett, and that role
is the equally quick Mr. Algernon
Moncrieff, the most refined of gen-
tlemen. The good sir Algy enters the spotlight in Oscar Wilde‘s
The Importance of Being Earnest, a refined comedy of errors
on the stage recently adapted to the silver screen.

While ole Rupert may have claim on the Moncrieff
moniker now, it was I who bore it but a few years ago. At the
height of high school drama I performed as Algernon to
hundreds of adoring fans. It was brilliant, it was grand, it....

But I digress. The real story here is Wilde’s. a timeless tale
of mistaken identity. You see, Algernon Moncrieff is a gentle-
man of 1890’s London, and the city life is a frightful bore. In
order to freshen things up a bit, Algy invents a fictional friend
named Mr. Bunbury who lives out in the country.

Bunbury is chronically ill, and always happens to be at
death‘s door precisely whenever Algernon feels like leaving
town for a breath of fresh country air: "I am afraid, Aunt
Augusta, I shall have to give up the pleasure of dining with you
tonight I have just had a telegram to say that my poor friend
Bunbury is very ill again. They seem to think I should be
with him. ”

Algernon isn't the only "Bunburyist," however. as it’s soon
revealed that his good friend Jack Worthing uses a similar
strategy of deception to travel to and from London town: ”My
name is Ernest in town, and Jack in the country"

What follows the friends‘ mutual revelation of alternate
personality is a comedy of twists and turns where both men
assume the name of Ernest, even though neither really is. The
confusion deepens when both Ernests propose marriage to

 

mm

 

The Importance
oi Being Eaten st

()xcnr \thth

two separate women, who end up thinking they're both
engaged to the same man.

The play is a classic example of elegant, comedic satire
that's just as effective now as it was at the time of its first
performance in 1895. It‘s the sort of thing that should get
more attention in our world today, especially when Hollywood
adapts it for the box office and throws well-recognized stars
like Reese Witherspoon and Colin Firth into the mix.

My nearly private screening of the movie version of
Earnest reaffirmed my faith that something good can still
come out of those California studios, even if they do have to
reach back over a century to find their material.

The movie is a great adaptation of the play. staying true to
the printed page as penned by Wilde for nearly the entire film.
The few modifications intertwine seamlessly with the original
material and quite enhance the experience, I daresay

For instance. a short and lively action scene sets the film
into motion. as Algernon dashes from the officers of Scotland
Yard after some unknown crime. The scene would seem
frivolous but for the subtle revelation of a cigarette case in
Algy's possession. an item that becomes important to the plot
in a later scene.

Minor additions such as that add to the excitement of the
work, while furthering the tight-knit qualities of the dialogue
and original scenes.

Now, if you've read all that and come through unscathed, I
salute your resolve and good taste. It should be noted, however,
that much of the enjoyment I got from this film was due to my
past experience with the play * I knew when the jokes would
come, recognized the changes made and generally watched
with a vastly different attitude than most viewers normally
would. In that way, The Importance of Being Earnest may not
be quite so accessible to the average popcorneating American
moviegoer.

But overall. The Importance of Being Earnest film

captures the spirit of the classic play, and simply presents it as

on its own. The film will most definitely be joining my home
DVD collection when it is released later this year. It can sit on
the shelf next to my highlighted high school script.

IN OUR OPINION

Barnh rt's salary
mirrors misplaced
cultural values

The exorbitant sala1y UK will pay its snew athletics director Mitch
Barnhait. illusttates agr,‘eatet problem

When the Board of Trustees approved Barnhart's appointment as
UK‘s new athletics director Tuesday. they also gave him a generous
salary Barnhart's seven-year contract includes a base salary of $275,000.
8100.000 for radio and television appearances and commercials, two cars
and a million dollar life insurance policy. He can also earn an additional
8150.000 11 year based on the performance of UK‘s athletic teams. Regard-
less of the incentives. Barnhart will earn a minimum of $375,000 a year.

The high salary led Richard Lawson. a member of the Athletic Associ-
ation Board of directors. to vote against Barnhart’s appointment. Lawson
said he was concerned that the pay gap between Barnhart and other
university employees will cause widespread anger and discontentment.

Lawson‘s concern 111sts on a solid foundation: At a minimum Barn-
hart will nr 1ke net 11 1y six times sas much as the average UK instructor. He
will also make mote than President Lee Todd.

The situation. however. is not unique to UK. but represents the
premacy of athletics over academics throughout society.

Todd said that the AD's high salary was a response to market forces.
He said llll' market demands that a good athletics director at a top
program receive this level of salary; however. these market conditions
don't exist for professors and administrators.

There is a chasm between the athletic and academic worlds. Athletics
officials make hundreds of thousands of dollars while professors and ad-
ministrators make much less.

Are we saying we value bowl game wins and excellent sports teams
more than quality researchers and instructors?

There is no quick fix for these backward priorities. Athletics rest on a
tall pedestal in our society. Millions of people spend billions of dollars
going to games and buying team memorabilia. People don‘t fill Common-
wealth Stadium to cheer for chemistry professors or the debate team.

This mentality is ingrained in our society; it won't be easy to change.
But the problem should not be ignored. It needs to be recognized and
addressed. Awareness is the first step to correcting our priorities and
realizing what sports are: nothing but a game.

Government
leaks threaten
peace of mind

Like everyone else. I remember
exactly where I was and what I was
doing when I heard the news on
September 11.

With the realization that our
country was under attack by mad-
men. I suddenly felt as though I was
a player in one of those doomsday
movies. I could think of nothing ex-
cept the uncertainty of what might
happen in the next five minutes.
Were we set to go to war before mid-
night as my dad had predicted? Was the president going to
make it back safely to the White House? I felt a connection
with those who grew 11p during the atomic arms race of the
Cold War: all of us were not quite sure just what was lurking
around the corner.

As the one-year anniversary of that “day of infamy"
creeps closer and closer. the fear and dread that accompanied
that day have passed. Life seems as close to normal as it
could now be in light of this “new reality“

I remember in the first few days following the attacks.
government leaders urged all Americans to continue
