Metallica Show is ‘the art of rock’

Once again. Metallica proved they
are no fluke. The No. I name in metal
rocked the Schottenstein Center in
Columbus. Ohio. on
Sunday night.

i A number of
things go into mak—
ing a great concert.
These include
sound. lighting and
overall atmosphere.
But the main thing
that sets Metallica
apart from other
bands is their pas--
sion for their music.
Besides the obvious
talent of
vocalist/guitarist James Hetﬁeld. gui-
tarist Kirk Hammett. bassist Robert Tru-
jillo and drummer Lars Ulrich. Metalli—
ca comes together as one to showcase
the an of rock music. Nobody does it
better.

columnist

Among the many fantastic things
about Sunday‘s show was the stage. The
lighting was spectacular. with green and
red lasers ﬂowing onto the stage as the
band entered. Metallica’s opening song.-
"That Was Just Your Life," was per—
formed in almost complete darkness.
with only one light shining down on
Hetfreld as he wailed away on the mic
and guitar.

The rest of the lighting was also
amazing. The light “towers" were actual-
ly cofﬁns. a play off Metallica‘s most re-
cent album. “Death Magnetic.‘ These
cofﬁns moved around during some songs.

The stage itself was centered on the
arena floor. which made for good visu-
als for everybody in the crowd. Ulrich
was in the center of the stage on drums.
with the other three in perpetual motion
around the stage. Ulrich's drum setup
was also rotated 90 degrees after every
few songs.

As a whole. Metallica is composed

of some of the best musicians in the
world. In particular, Hammett is a mas—
ter shredder. and Ulrich is one of the
top drummers we have ever seen. What
makes them even more impressive is
how Hetﬁeld and Hammett play in uni-
son together. lt‘s really quite amazing.
These two shined during “One." a
Metallic-a song made famous by “Gurtar
Hero." It is also one of their most
rhythm- and bass-intensive songs.

The concert ended with the exhila-
rating “Enter Sandman." followed by an
encore of three songs. including the fi-
nale, “Seek and Destroy."

Metallica is arguably the most tal—
ented and versatile band in the world
today. Just look at their body of work;
very few bands can compare. This con»
cert proved that no one puts on as good
a show as these four.

Tuition program
is good deal
for UK students

Most say education is the key to the future. If this is true.
then [K and Bluegrass (‘ommunity and Technical College
have taken a step in the right direction to improve the future
of many Kentucky residents who are looking to obtain a post‘
secondary education.

On Oct. 2*). the Kernel reported that UK President Lee
Todd and BCTC President Augusta Julian signed agreements
to put the Blue PIUs Program. a new coolwrative student
transfer opportunity program. into place.

The Kernel reported the program is designed to allow
BCTC students take up to 12 credit hours. or approximately
one semester's worth. of [K course work at the BCTC tuition
rate. Students using the program are allowed to take more
than 12 credit hours of coursework at UK. but additional
hours will be billed at the UK tuition rate. According to the
UK and BCTC Web sites. the current tuition rate for UK is
$307 per credit hour. and the tuition rate is Slll per credit
hour for BCTC students.

According to the article. the goal of the program is to en-
able students to take classes that will count toward their de-
gree after they transfer to a four-year institution.

"You don't want to yiust take a bunch of hours if it doesn‘t
count toward your degree.” Todd said in the article.

The initiation of this program is crucial to Kentuckians
who want to further their education by attending college. but
who feel like they are not quite ready to dive into the de-
manding coursework of a four-year university.

More Kentuckians will be willing to start their college ed-
ucation at B(‘T(.‘ and transfer over to UK once they have
achieved their associate‘s degree. knowing that they have
credits that will transfer to UK if they choose to pursue L
bachelor‘s degree

“Students vv ho complete their associate's degree are more
likely to go on and complete a bachelor‘s degree." Julian said
iii the Oct. 2‘) story.

According to thc Kernel article. the goal of the program is
to increase the number of transfer sttidents from BCTC to UK
from 4.000 per year to more than l 1.000 per year.

This program will. in the long rrrn. help UK achieve a sta—

frrrther their education use the program.

In states with top-20 research schools. 28 percent of the
population have bachelor‘s degrees. Todd said. The population
in Kentucky with bachelor‘s degrees is 20 percent.

For UK to reach the status of a tops20 research school.

.Keiituckians have to do their part and seize the opportunities

of the Blue Plus Program.

“We need more Kentuckians competing to complete four:

is one we can continue to invest in."

[K and B(‘T(‘ have done their part. Now Kentuckians
must do theirs and take advantage of this program.
