CELEBRATING 37 YEARS OF INDEPENDENCE

 

Faculty, students: UK lacks enthusiasm for primaries

Bfllehecce §y~eeney

rsweeney@kykernel com

Ohio State University‘s campus is
buzzing with excitement of today‘s
presidential primary. as many col-
leges have since state primaries began
tallying votes. But students and facul-
ty at UK have not been seeing the
same enthusiasm for the presidential
race.

Unlike other larger states like Ohio
and Texas. which both host primaries
today. Kentucky is not a battleground
state where candidates spend millions
of dollars on campaigns. which makes
it difficult to get students interested in

the race. said Mark Peftley. a political
science professor.

"Campaigns are emotional frenzies.
and it‘s hard to get worked up being a
spectator sitting on the sidelines." Pet'—
tley said.

Kentucky‘s primary is not until
May 20. The late date, when UK stu-
dents will already be on summer break.
makes it difficult to promote discussion
and political involvement on campus.
said Robert Kahne. president of UK
College Democrats

“To combat student apathy. I think
the primary should be moved up." said
Kahne. a political science and econom-
ics junior.

Despite a lack of campus enthusi—
asnr. this year's race will greatly affect
the future and presents two directions
America can go in the Iraq war. Stu-
dents should care as much as everyone
else for these reasons. Kahne said.

UK‘s political culture is decent. but
many students do not get involved be-
cause no candrdate has visited LIK‘s
campus or made Kentucky a priority in
their campaign. Kahne said.

Campaigns from both parties have
visited Ohio Wesleyan University. a
campus of 1,850 students. said Matt
Greene. a political science and econom—
ics junior at the university and commu-
nications director for the Ohio College

Democrats State Federation.

“Once leaders get together and cre~
ate an atmosphere that is almost conta-
gious. the apathetic students will get
swept up in it." Greene said. "They will
see the fun that you are having and get
swept up by the energy."

The state‘s primary today has made
Ohio State University a recent hot spot
for campaign visits. said Tobey Stein-
man. a computer information systems
senior at OSU. A debate between De-
mocratic candidates Hillary Clinton and
Barack Obama was also held at the
University of Texas at Austin campus
last month.

Candidates from both parties seem

 

more interested in the college-age yot»
ers this year than in past elections. and
Steinman said what is most important is
not which candidate to vote for. but get-
ting people to vote.

The significance of their vote and
what it means if they do not vote is
something that Kendra Stewart. a
presidential politics professor at East;
ern Kentucky. said students are un—
aware of.

“We should all try to be thoughtful
and contribute to the process." said
Stewart. who traveled with 22 students
from her class to work for the Democ—

his wife. Patsy. for winning the
2007 American Institute of Archi-

Competition.

He was one of 80 people nation-

berg. an architecture senior in UK‘s
four-year architecture program. said
he tried to make the center as com-
fortable as possible for children.

“I tried to design it so that for a
little while they could forget that
they were receiving treatment." he
said.

The competitors were required
to use products from Kawneer Com-
pany Inc.. which sponsored the con-
test with the American Institute of
Architecture Students.

Ruberg said his design is unique
because it saves a significant
amount of energy by integrating

OWEN & KATE
DATING AGAIN

I'I'le DiSI-l

Repeat romance?

8 months after their
bad breakup, a
recovering Wilson
rekindles his flame
with Hudson

Menswear:

After a suicide attempt last
August. Owen Wilson has been
given a second chance at life —»
and. it seems. love.

The moming of Feb. 23. the
actor was seen driving his silver
Toyota l’rius away from the
home in L.A.'s Pacific Palisades
of Kate Hudson. his onetime
girlfriend. She returned the fa—
vor five hours later. spending a
little more than an hour with
him at his newly built Malibu.
Calif, house.

According to several
sources. the actress broke off her
yearlong liaison with her You.
Me and Dupree costar last
spring after it became clear to
Hudson that Wilson's partying
took priority over their relation-
ship.

But now that Wilson is
healthy w he was a presenter at
the Feb. 24 Academy Awards w
he and Hudson may be rebuild—
ing their romance.

"They are hooking up." a
Wilson insider tells Us. A Hud-
son source concurs: “They have
definitely been talking. hanging
out and. yes. hooking up."

Wilson's rep had no com-

ment. while a lawyer for HudA
son tells Us any such claim is
"false."

Reconnecting

The fact that the pair are
even speaking ~ let alone do-
ing anything else ., is a signifi-
cant development.

After Wilson. 39. was hOspi—
talized. Hudson. 28. reached out
by phone. but according to a
Wilson associate. her contact
was limited by his protective
younger brother. Luke. 36.

“Luke thought it best to lim—
it who Owen spoke to in the be—
ginning." says the pal. “They
have been talking since a few
months after the suicide attempt.
when he was better."

When they finally recon-
nected. the Drillbit Taylor star
apologized to Hudson. who lent
her support. both in private
(“She was a caring friend." re-
calls the Hudson source) and
public.

"Owen is such a lovely per—
son. and I love him dearly." the
actress said in the January issue
of Vogue. “And 1 wish him
beautiful things v health and
everything that he desires in
life."

What Their Future Holds

Still. neither star wishes to
settle down. Hudson’s main fo—
cus is her son. Ryder. 4 (dad is
her ex—husband, Chris Robin~
son: her relationship with Owen
played a part in their 2006 split).

But the actress — who will

the single life. One rumored
fling: Justin Timberlake.

As for Wilson — who starts
shooting the comedy Marley &
Me with Jennifer Aniston in Mi-
ami on March it) the actor is»
n‘t looking for something seri—
ous either.

“He‘s not there yet, even
though he does love Kate." says
the insider. Right now. “it‘s sort
of makeup sex.“

The Other Man?

Reports of Hudson and
Justin Timberlakc getting cozy
have been around since January
2007.

And even though the singer.

27. has been seeing Jessica Bicl.
26. for about that long. multiple
sources now confimi to Us that
he and Hudson have been more
than just friends at times.

“It’s not constant. and very
casual," reveals a Hudson in-
sider.

Reps for both deny any
hooking up and some pals insist
the relationship is strictly pla-
tonic.

Says a source close to Tim~
berlakc, “He is very much in
love with Jessica."

With classes on Election Day and deadlines

“There are several issues that people like to

they say no." he said.

being aligned with a specific candidate,
said Sen. Noah Meeks. The system
could bring in different ideas and a
group of senators that would hold the
SG president accountable. he said.

"I think it would bring more intel—
lectual diversity (to the Senate)."
Meeks said. “And the president would
have to work harder."

Senate accountability was the sub-
ject of another amendment discussed
by the committee yesterday. The legis-
lation would require the Senate to write
an act every year outlining the behav-
ioral and job expectations of the sena-
tors during their time in office.

The amendment. which was also
unanimously recommended to the full
Senate. would serve as a contract with
very specific guidelines that senators
would sign. said Tyler Montell. senate
President and lone presidential candi-
date for the spring.

"We‘re not mandating people‘s be-

havior but we are saying this is what
we expect of you and what the student
body expects of you." Montell said.
“We‘re getting away from the adage
that senators don't really do anything."

The act would be valid the entire
year the senators are in office and would
expire on the first meeting of the newly
elected Senate. when new senators would
pass its own act by the second full meet-
ing of the fall semester. The Committee
on Committees would handle violations
of the act and the lmpeachment and Cen-
sure Committee would have the authority
to remove senators for failing to adhere
to the guidelines.

This act is not in response to poor
participation from senators. Montell
said. but is instead a way of keeping
SG members accountable and a way of
being more specific about the expecta—
tions of the job.

“This is not because we think sena-
tors don't do anything." he said. “This
is a way of making the things we do
more visible. and saying we understand
we're held to a higher standard. and
we're going to go a step beyond that."

UK‘ can’t derail Holocaust rumor train

By Calvin Hobson
news@kykernel.com

UK has earned intemational
attention because of a false ru-
mor that has simply refused to
disappear.

The c—niail ruriior claimed
that UK stopped offering a
Holocaust class because it of-
fended the Muslim population.

The e~mails referred to the
United Kingdom. but when that
became shortened to UK. readers
mistook it for the university. said
UK spokesman Jay Blanton. That
led some of the public to send a
chain of messages to the UK ad-

ministration even though history
professor Jcrcmy D. Popkin
teaches History 323: The Holo—
caust. as part of university’s Juda-
ic Studies Program.

The rumors started around
April 2007. Blanton said. and
began to pick up around No—
vember. which led to the univ
versity sending out a news re—
lease in an effort to dispel the
claims.

Because of easy access to the
lntemet. the rumor has become so
widespread that no matter how
much UK tries to debunk thc mes—
sage. thc allegations remain. Blan—
ton said. Although UK has sent

replies to the c‘mails it receives
and Will continued to try to inform
people who do not know the ru-
mor is false. Blanton said the ad
ministration can only send out so
many c-mails.

“We receive about a thou;
sand c—tiiails a day. and we try to
respond to all of them." Blanton
said. “The more the truth circu-
lates. the more we hope it slows
down.“

Since then. several media
outlets. including local newspa-
pers in Kentucky and across the
United States. The New York
Times and BBC News. have rc~
ported on the rumor.

Despite the attempts to fc‘ltsv
surc critics that the Holocaust will
stay in the curriculum. man) still
have animosity toward Muslim
students on campus. said Mtislini
Student Association President
Yahya Ahmed. The Muslim Stir
dcnt Association is also trying to
reassure those people that Mus—
liins would have no part in ate
tempting to protest the class.

“The class has been going
on for 30 years and nobody"s
going to stop it." Ahmed said.
“(Those who tliitik Muslims
would) don‘t know any bcttcr.
and if the) just did a little rc~
search they would know,"

Christians. Muslims and atheists debated the
existence of God for more than two hours last
night in the Student Center. and ultimately reached
no conclusive answer.

It is necessary to search for solid rock beneath
many layers to build a sturdy foundation for be-
lief. said Ben Honiback. a panelist and Campus
Crusade for Christ member who said he built his
religious belief upon principles he sees in civil en-
gineering.

But Adam Leedy. one of the panelists who
represented an atheist point of view. countered the
beliefs of Homback and others with problems he
saw with the existence of God.

"The ideal of God takes away from the glory
of the human race." said Leedy. vice president of
l'ls' SHIFT (society for humanistic. intellectual
and free thought). "I live every day trying to make
it better than the last."

Many audience members brought up current is—
sues and introduced statistics relating to the modem
view of religion and atheism. One person was asked
what the panel thought about a nation where moral

SANTA MARIA. Calif. _-

Students disagree on God’s existence,

objectivism is imposed on someone else.

“Such a society is a shame." said Yahya
Ahmed. the Muslim Student Association presi«
dent. who represented Islam.

Parts of the discussion became heated as the
audience of a couple hundred people and panelists
disagreed on certain issues. Allegiance to one be—
lief system was shown with clapping. while points
of discord were met with murmurs and interjec—
tions.

That kind of reaction is inevitable. many of the
panelists said. In such a charged topic. it is diffi-
cult to ignore personal biases. Despite the charged
atmosphere. discussions like this are still impor-
tant to campus. said psychology sophomore Loren
Hill.

"I don't think it’s easy to hold a discussion
about the existence of God." Hill said. “But for
people who want to know more about what they
believe. these kinds of discussions are important.“

So the search for the answer remains ongoing.
Ahmed suggested that individuals look inside
themselves for an answer.

“My advice is to seek the truth.“ he said. "The
truth that reaches out and speaks to you. That‘s the
best that I can do."
