Todd asked for more campus communication

New contract could get
trustee vote tomorrow

By Iroy Lyle
THE mtucxv mm

In the process of reviewing the
performance of President Lee
Todd, a common theme arose from
the UK Board of Trustees: Todd
must communicate more with stu-
dents, faculty and staff.

The trustees are expected to

vote on a new contract for Todd in
tomorrow‘s meeting. After two spe-
cial sessions earlier this month to
discuss the specifications of the
contract. board chairman James
Hardymon said the board wants
Todd to be more accessible and re-
sponsive to the needs of faculty.
staff and students.

Todd said he agrees with the
board’s opinion.

“I could probably do more,“ he
said. “There‘s definitely area for

improvement."

Todd cited recent state budget
cuts and trying to achieve top-20
research status as two of the rea.
sons why he hasn’t been as accessi-
ble as he was early on in his presi-
dency. which began in 2001.

“It's a significant challenge to
get out and meet with everyone,"
he said.

In response, he said his staff is
already planning several meetings
with individual colleges. as well as

regular functions with the faculty.
staff and students.

Amy Atkerson. research coor-
dinator for the department of be-
havioral science. said the problem
isn‘t Todd‘s lack of presence on
campus. but his failure to consider
UK's more than 10,000 Staff mem~
bers.

“There‘s this enormous staff
that supports this university and
its faculty and students.“ she said.
“We seem to be forgotten ~ rarely

are we ever recognized."

Atkerson said she believes UK
is heading in the right direction,
but she said she can't understand
why it‘s difficult for the adminis-
tration to figure out what the facul-
ty. staff and students need.

“It's common sense we want
to feel appreciated for all the hard .
work we do." Atkerson said. “It‘s
nothing to do with money. though
it would be nice to be rewarded

INDIANA 38, UK 14 ”KS neighbor

BLOOMINGTON BLUNDER adjusts to

Hoosiers more than double UK's
offensive output, drop Cats to 1-2

By Chris Johnson
in: «mum KERNEL

The flat Cats got flattened.

Indiana ran up 440 yards. including 305 on
the ground, as the Hoosiers rolled to a 38-14
win and a 3-0 start to the season. The UK of-
fense managed nine first downs and 217 total
yards.

“Guys didn’t take this seriously," UK’s
sophomore quarterback Andre' Woodson
said. “We came out thinking, ‘(Indiana) bareL
ly beat the teams they played; we got this.‘

“We were flat. Everyone felt at halftime
the game was over.” he said.

Defensive coordinator Mike Archer said
the UK defense hit rock bottom.

“We can only go up." Archer said after
watching his unit allow Indiana’s Chris Tay-
lor a career-high 176 rushing yards on 17 car-
ries.

“They dominated the line of scrimmage."
Archer said, referring to Indiana‘s offensive
line. “We need to find the group that played
well in the second half against Louisville.”

The Hoosiers ran 60 rushing plays, con-
trolling the ball for 41:37 of the game’s 60
minutes. UK ran a total of 45 plays.

“One team played a very physical game."
UK head coach Rich Brooks said. “We didn‘t
answer the call."

Brooks said the injuries to his team w
three starters are out for the year. and three
more missed Saturday’s game 7w played a role
in the decision to make last week‘s practices
less physical.

“I guess that‘s my fault," Brooks said.
“We were a little beaten up. so I shortened
practices and we didn’t practice in full gear. I
didn't get us prepared."

Brooks said the team was outplayed and
the coaching staff was out-coached.

“They looked at our film and figured we
weren't stopping the run." Brooks said.
“They ran the draw play and we couldn’t stop
it. Everybody in the stadium knew it was
coming."

Junior defensive end Durrell White ques-
tioned the team‘s effort.

”It comes down to will and desire." White
said. “A lot of guys were flat because we‘re
used to practicing in the morning. and you're
ready to play when you get up."

Indiana quarterback Blake Powers. a
Meade County, Ky., product. finished the
game 17 of 22 passing for 135 yards and four
touchdowns. He also rushed 10 times for 29
yards. keeping many of the Hoosiers' drives
alive.

“Blake looked good out there. I have to
give him that.“ Woodson said.

Indiana finished 8 of 16 on third-down
conversions. at one point converting a com-

Atkerson said she would

of UK's staff.

Kyle Dippery. chairman

the blame shouldn't be
placed on Todd.

“The staff senate needs
to take part of the responsi-
bility." he said. “We haven't
made ourselves visible. We
aren't fulfilling our mission
to represent the staff."

Dippery cited a lack of
participation by staff mem-
bers in a makeshift Senate
as part of the problem.

year," he said. “We needed to
fill 60 seats. yet only 29 can-
didates applied."

White said UK's third-

of its lackluster effort.

that‘s a part of it." White said.

The Greek community at

“Having the Greek Store

for friends.“ said Alex Elliot. a

many other staff members
think Todd is doing a good
job.

“He has done an excel-
lent job. considering the lim-
ited resources he's had to
work with," he said, point-
ing out that UK has had
three consecutive years of
state budget cuts. “Yet
there’s room for improve-
ment from all involved and
at all levels."

Carolyn Bratt, a UK law
professor, said the problem
isn't limited to Todd.

“I've complained about
this with every president for
the last 30 years.“ she said.
“My concern is there’s no
formal process where facul-
ty. staff and students can
have input into the evalua-
tion of the president."

The president is formally
evaluated by the board of
trustees only. which consists
of two faculty representa-
tives. one staff representa-
tive. one student representa-
tive and more than 10 gover-
nor-appointed positions.

Bratt said faculty and
staff are frequently evaluat-
ed by their chairs. depart-
ments and the university.

  

yet the president only has to
answer to the board. of
which most of its members
lie outside the university
system.

Becky Ellingsworth. the
board’s student representa-
tive as Student Government
president. said she hopes to
address the evaluation is-
sue, as well as facilitate
ways in which she can con-
nect Todd and the student
body

“When I came to UK,
Todd was portrayed as a stu-
dent's president." she said.
“I feel this has diminished
(lately)."

Ellingsworth said she in
tends to immediately ad-
dress her concerns to Todd
and is already planning a
meeting in the near future.

Atkerson said she thinks
the president and the admin-
istration are beginning to
address the problem.

“They just need to be
more sensitive to the needs
of everyone . faculty. staff
and students.” she said.

BAGHDAD, Iraq —lraq's
transitional National As-
sembly approved the final
draft of the new constitu-
tion Sunday while mourn-
ing the death of an assassi-
nated legislator.

A flower-ringed portrait
was placed in the seat of
Paris Nasir Hussein, whose
car was ambushed by gun-
men Saturday night north of
Baghdad. A member of
Iraq's Shabak ethnic minori-
ty elected to parliament on
the Kurdish ticket, Hussein
was on his way from his
home in Mosul to attend
Sunday’s assembly session
when he was attacked.
Three of his bodyguards
died in the assault, and fel-
low parliamentarian Haidar
Qasim was wounded.

Hussein' 5 death contin-
ued a wave of resurgent
rebel violence that has
killed more than 270 people
in the last week. On Sunday,
police discovered the
corpses of 20 men in the
Tigris River near Balad. 40
miles north of the capital.

Authorities said the men.
dressed in civilian clothes.
appeared to have been killed
and dumped in the river two
to three days earlier. Balad.
a Shiite farming town near a
large US. air base, is sur-
rounded by Sunni Arab vil-
lages.

A US. soldier died Satur-
day when his patrol struck a
roadside bomb near the
western city of Al Asad. the
military said.

In Baghdad on Sunday,
the National Assembly held
a brief memorial for Hus-
sein before a formal reading

of the final changes in the
draft constitution He was
the third assembly member
killed since the legislature
convened in April.

“All members of the as-
sembly and all government
ministers are under
threat... We think about it
every minute." said legisla-
tor Hunayn Qaddo. who was
Hussein's former law profes-
sor at Mosul University. “We
ask for more protection and
armored cars. or we will all
be killed. The terrorists
have good intelligence and
are capable of knowing our
movements."

Assembly member
Lamia Abed Khadouri Sakri
was shot outside her home
on the day of the legisla-
ture's first session, and an-
other lawmaker, Shiekh
Dhari Fayad. died in a June
suicide bombing. in July,

gunmen killed Mujbil Issa a
law professor working as an
adviser to the committee
drafting the constitution.

Sakri and Fayad were
Shiite Muslim Arabs. while
Issa was a Sunni Arab and
Hussein was a Shabak _, a
Shiite minority centered
around Mosul who claim to
be neither Kurd nor Arab.

“This proves that the ter-
rorists do not target a par-
ticular slate, but the politi-
cal process as a whole,” Shi-
ite assembly member Abbas
Bayati said.

Sunday‘s submission of
the draft constitution to UN.
officials for printing takes
the document out of the
hands of negotiators. Mil-
lions of copies will be print-
ed ahead of an Oct. 15 refer-
endum in which Iraqis will
vote yes or no on the docu-
ment.

With the referendum less
than a month away, the as-
sembly largely becomes a
lame-duck body; preparing
the constitution was its pri-
mary mission and it will dis-
solve within months regard-
less of whether the docu-
ment passes. Either ratifica-
tion or rejection will lead to
new elections before year's
end.

In other news yesterday,
members of the Mahdi
Army militia blockaded
streets in Basra, protesting
the arrest of two of their
leaders by British forces
who patrol the southern city.

The militia -— loyal to
Shiite leader Muqtada al-
Sadr. an outspoken foe of
the US. occupation — staged
violent uprisings in Bagh-
dad. Najaf and Basra last
summer. ending with a

cease fire brokered by
Grand Ayatollah Ali al Sis-
tani. Iraq‘s top Shiite cleric.

The militia was sup-
posed to have disarmed, but
its members have been ac-
cused of a campaign of at-
tacks and assassinations in
Basra targeting political ri-
vals. coalition forces and
former high-ranking mem-
bers of Saddam Hussein's
Baath Party.

Khalil Maliki. an al-Sadr
spokesman in Basra, issued
a thinly veiled threat of fur-
ther violence if the two de-
tained men weren't set free
soon.

“We decided to give (the
British) a period until we
will react and they will face
the Sadr people’s anger." he

Key senator says
Judge Roberts no
lock to overmrn Roe

By Richard A. Serrano
LOS ANGELES TIMES

WASHINGTON —- A key
Republican on the Senate
Judiciary Committee
warned his fellow conserva-
tives Sunday not to confirm
Judge John G. Roberts Jr. as
chief justice of the United
States if they expected that
doing so would automatical-
ly lead to a dismantling of
the Roe v. Wade decision on
abortion.

Sen. Lindsey Graham. R-
S.C.. said Roberts would
make a trustworthy conser-
vative leader on the court _
just not a sure bet for those
who yearn to overturn the
landmark 1973 ruling pro-
tecting a woman’s right to
choose abortion.

“If your view of being
conservative is he has to de-
cide your way, then you’re
going to be disappointed,"
Graham said on “Fox News
Sunday. “What he will do
with Roe v. Wade or any oth-
er case before him is judge
it based on the briefs and
the facts and the arguments
made."

Graham said that while
the decision “can be over-
turned,” conservatives
should expect Roberts to
vote and lead the court
based on the law, not on par-
tisan ideology.

“He’ll listen to the argu-
ments of those who are
challenging Roe v. Wade, he
will listen to those trying to
uphold it. and he will make
a decision not based on poli-
tics but the rule of law,"
Graham said.

“The one thing I’ve
learned about this guy —
that he loves the law more
than politics. He’s not an
ideologue. But he is a true
strict constructionist, be-
lieving in a limited role of a
federal judge in our soci-
ety."

The committee is expect-
ed to vote Thursday to make
a recommendation on Presi-
dent Bush‘s nomination of
Roberts to succeed Chief

 

Justice William H. Rehn-
quist. who died earlier this
month. Because Republi-
cans hold the majority of
seats on the committee, the
nomination should receive
the committee’s recommen-
dation for approval.

The full Senate is likely
to take up the matter the
following week. The 55 Re-
publicans, 44 Democrats
and one Independent are ex-
pected to vote Sept. 29.

Sen. Arlen Specter, R-
Pa.. who serves a chairman
of the Judiciary Commit-
tee. said he planned to an-
nounce his vote today.

“There are some ques-
tions that Judge Roberts did
not answer with respect to
the Supreme Court's deni-
grating the power of Con-
gress that I would have
liked to have seen him an-
swer,“ Specter said on
CBS’s “Face the Nation,"
referring to his panel‘s re-
cent confirmation hearings.

“But I think he did an-
swer many, many important
questions, such as he solid-
ly affirmed the right to pri-
vacy" — the underpinning
of the Roe v Wade decision.

Sen. Patrick Leahy of
Vermont, the committee's
ranking Democrat, said on
the same program that he
wished the panel had been
provided copies of Roberts’
memos and other papers
from his years in the solici-
tor general's office during
the George. H.W. Bush ad-
ministration. “I think that
would have helped a great
deal," Leahy said.

He said he believed a re-
view of Roberts’ papers
while serving in the Reagan
administration in the early
1980s showed that he was
“very ideological“ back
then.

“It could well have been
a young lawyer ingratiating
himself with the people he
was working for." Leahy
said. “He says he's not an
ideologue. and he said that
under oath."
