Trust instincts for safety,

UK women's group sponsors
campus safety sessrons

By Tricia McKenny
THE miucxr mm

The best strategy to re-
duce your chances of being
victimized on campus coiild
be as simple as going with
your gut feelings. said UK Po-
lice Lt. Tiua Chilton in a
campus safety session yester-
day.

“if something doesn't feel
right to you. it probably isn't.
so you should find a way
out." (,‘liiltoii said to about 30
participants at the informa-
tion sesston.

Chilton. who has Worked

for nine years with UK Po-
lice. delivered her message
during the first of four
“Don‘t Be a Victim!" safety
information sessions. spon-
sored by the UK Women's Fo
rum.

The UK Women‘s Forum
sponsored the free sessions
to help ensure the safety of
students. faculty and staff.
said Tammie Disco. chair of
the group.

"Hopefully. we can help
everyone be safer on campus.
We have had many requests
from students for more pro

grants. so we are looking to
expand and help as much as
we can," Disco said.

Chilton said students.
staff or anyone else walking
around campus must be con-
stantly aware of their sur-
roundings at all times.

"It amazes me how many
people are walking around
campus and not paying any
attention to their surround-
ings." Chilton said.

"They are talking on the
phone or reading. and I could
come up behind them and hit
them on the head, and they
wouldn‘t notice." she said.

Chilton cautioned those
in attendance against falling
into the trap of believing
they are not targets for crime

inal acts.

"Don‘t take for granted
that something won‘t happen
to you.“ Chilton said. “By be.-
ing aware and responsible
for yourself. you can help
prevent being a victim."

Chilton also presented in-
formation about protecting
yourself on campus when
parking or walking.

“Park in well-lit areas. at
the end of a row and never
between two large vehicles."
she said.

“Walk in the middle of a
row and not next to parked
cars. have your keys ready.
and call someone so they
know where you are."

Chilton will present an-
other session Thursday from

officer says

 

Center Theatre at 10 am. today.

K, Hispanic group join to offer scholarships

l'K has partnered with the Lex-
ington Hispanic Association to coor-
dinate a new scholarship program de-
signed to assist undocumented and
other Hispanic students in financing
their college educations.

These students don't have access
to any college loans. said Joshua San-

“Many of these students want to
go to college. but without sotne sort of
aid. it's nearly impossible." he said.

State regulations allow undocu-
mented immigrants who graduate
from Lexington Community (‘ollege
or a Kentucky high school to pay iii-
state tuition.

However. federal law allowing
these students to get loans or legally
work their way through college is
stalled in a Congressional committee.

The scholarship fund will accept

private donations to assist undocu-
mented and other Hispanic students.

for the Office of University Initiatives

"These people wanted to donate

money to help out.” Turner said.
"With the help of the Lexington His-
panic Association. we decided now
was a good time to set up a scholar
ship fund for such students."

The scars on her knees
explain why.

The UK senior midfielder
has played soccer since she
can remember but didn't de-
cide to pursue the game on
the collegiate level until she

dreams were almost cut
short when she tore her left

Slupski said.

Sliipski entered her

endorses

Sen. Kerry

By Peter Wallsten
"i'os’irTotir's TM?

CRAWFORD. Texas
President Bush may be lead-
ing in the polls. but yesterday
he awoke at his ranch in con-
servative central Texas to
some surprising news: The
hometown newspaper had
endorsed his Democratic
challenger. Sen. John Kerry

The Lone Star Iconoclast.
a weekly newspaper. backed
Bush in ‘Jtlllll. Yesterday it de-
voted half of page 2 to its en-
dorsement titled “Kerry Will
Restore American Dignity."

The editorial. penned by
publisher W. Leon Smith. as-
sailed Bush for his policies
on Social Security. Medicare.
taxes and stem cell research.
it called the Iraq war “deadly
and highly questionable."
and said the country was
“duped" by the argument
that Iraq possessed weapons
of mass destruction.

“We were ready to follow
Bush's lead through any tra-
yail.” said the newspaper.

"He let us down.”

The editorial urged Tex-
ans “not to rate the candidate
by his lioiiieiown or even his
political party but instead by
where he intends to take the
country."

Stiiitli a Democrat
said publishing the Kerry en-
dorsement was “probably the
hardest journalistic decision
I've ever had to make "

“It was an easy decision
to make that we preferred
Kern over Hush. but it was a
hard decision about whether
we should run the editorial."
Smith said

"We knew there would be
people lashing back at us.
This is Texas. and there are
quite a few people here who
are going to support Hush no
matter what happens in the
world and no matter what he
does He‘s really one of us."

Smith said he has re-
ceiyed “pats on the hack and
kicks in the butt" from many
in this town of 750. where
Bush has spent most of his
vacations since becoming
president

But. as he expected. the
kicks have outweighed the
pats.

"They think the Taliban
and l are in cahoots." Smith
said of locals complaining
about the endorsement.

“id just as soon burn it
(the newspaper)." said Tere-
sa Rowdoin. manager of the
Yellow Rose. which opened
after Bush became president.

"i understand it's a free
world. but sometimes I feel
like they’re shoving the free
world down our throats.

“We'll never advertise
with them again." she added.

Voters tuning into the first
presidential debate tomorrow
may be anticipating a free
wheeling giveand‘take be-
tween the two candidates. but
the occasion will actually be
one of the most carefully
structured events of the 2004
campaign.

The rules for the three
presidential debates were he»
gotiated by representatives of
Sen. John Kerry and Presi'
dent Bush in a 32-page memo
randum of understanding
and leave little room for sport
taneity.

They specify among other
things. that the candidates
may not pose questions direct-
ly to each other and require
the debate moderators to use
specific language when cut»
ting off long-winded answers,

The two campaigns hag-
gled over the temperature in
the room. how far the men
could wander front their
lecterns and how a colored
light will alert them when
they've gone over their allot-
ted time.

The candidates inay bring
paper and pens or pencils. but
all must be submitted ahead
of time so the itents can be
placed on the lecterns. each
constructed and placed to
Kerry-Bush specifications.

While past campaigns
made similar agreements. the
2004 debate rules between
Kerry and Bush are the most
detailed and farreaching of
any election. and have ran

hated by the issues." Bush se
nior advisor Karen Hughes
told AB(‘ News Radio.

“They're trying to take
into account all the contin-
gencies.“ said Zachary White.
assistant professor of commit
nication studies at the Univer-
sity of San Francisco. “They
don‘t want anything to be left
to chance so the voters will fill
in the gaps themselves."

The podiums each will
measure 50 inches. and be set
10 feet apart enough dis»
tance so the president's short-
er stature will not create a
strong contrast with his lanky
rival. And “no candidate shall
be permitted to use risers or
any other device to create an
impression of elevated
height." according to the
memorandum.

One issue that remains
somewhat unresolved: the
temix‘rature in the room. The
Bush campaign wanted it
above 70 degrees. hoping to
get Kerry to break out iii a
sweat. while the Democrats
were pushing for a cooler ain-
bience. In the end. they settled
on “industry standard."

The most controversial
provision in the memoran-
dtiin attempts to prevent the
television networks from
broadcasting the reaction of
either candidate as the other
is speaking. According to
those familiar with the nego-
tiations. the president‘s re-
election team wanted the stip
ulation. which Bush also in-
sisted upon during his 1994
debate with Texas (lov. Anti

"These kids are every bit

able to help untold numbers
of young people attain the
American dream and to cre-
ate a future of which we can

Conan O’Brien to replace Leno in 2009

Byiisa DeMoraes

THE WASHINGTON POST

Jay Leno. NBC‘s perennial latenight rat-
ings giant. celebrated the 50th anniversary of
The Tonight Shoir Monday night by an
nouncing that he is a lame duck and that Co-
nan O'Brien will replace him when his con»
tract expires iii 2009.

About three hours before Leno made the
“surprise“ announcement to his Burbank.
Calif. studio audience during the Monday‘s
taping. NBC had blasted an email to the
news media. announcing that it had signed a
deal giving the 41-year-old ()‘Brien the 11:35
pm. time slot he wanted and that Leno
would bow out at the end of the five-year
contract he‘d signed just six months ago. L'n-
til then. O'Brien will continue to host Late
Night. the network said.

Neither Leno nor O‘Brien would talk to
reporters Monday. the spokeswoman for NBC
Entertainment assured us. According to the
network. O‘Brien will wait until Tuesday
night to discuss the deal on the air.

O'Brien. whose contract was to expire in
December 200:3. had been very public about
his displeasure when NBC locked up Leno on
the Tonight Show through the end of the
decade. O‘Brien made no bones about the
fact that he thought he deserved the earlier
time slot after 11 years following Leno. Soon.
reports emerged that he was being wooed by

other networks.

In its news release Monday. NBC said:
“Jay Leno will officially make the announce-
ment during the evening‘s Tonight Show a
show that also celebrates the 50th anniver-
sary of the late night institution."

Yes. this is how the network thanks the
guy who has opened hundreds of shopping
malls and kissed thousands of drooling ba-
bies. all for the sake of promoting the fran-
chise that is now the second most profitable
program on its. lineup. behind only Today,

It quotes Leno as saying that in 2005i he
will be 59 years old and will have had his
“dream job“ for 17 years.

Leno‘s predecessor. Johnny Carson. host-
ed the show 30 years atid retired at age 66,

Leno is also quoted as saying that when
he signed his new contract earlier this year.
he felt “that the timing was right to plan for
my successor."

It appears no one passed along that infor
mation to O‘Brien. who just seven weeks lai-
er savaged Leno in front of hundreds of ad
vertising execs at Radio City Music Hall dur
ing NBC‘s presentation of its new prime
time lineup. Members of the audience
gasped or snickered when O‘Brien did a
dead—on imitation of car-collecting Leno:

“Ehhl I‘ve been signed through 203.")? i
can buy another Stanley Steamer?“

It seems NBC also neglected to pass
along Leno's succession plans to the New
York Tinies‘s Bill Carter. who wrote the book
(literally; as well as the HBO screenplay) on
NBC's late-night intrigues. Carter wrote in
April that "NBC doesn't seem to be contem-
plating Mit Leno‘s retirement ever.“ That
was followed by yet another snippy O‘Brien
line on the subject: "day may decide he
wants to do the show until 202.7. .lay could
say: My brain will be in a jar and we‘ll wheel
it out and I‘ll do the monologue"

Television industry executives contacted
Monday weren't surprised that O‘Brien had
been told he would get 'l‘oiiight when Leno's
contract ran out, They were very surprised
however that it had been written into
()‘Bt'iens new contract and that NBC l'niver
sal Television Group President Jeff Zucker
had gotten Leno to agree to giye five years'
notice on national television Monday night

and on a night that was supposed to have
been about celebrating thi- loiigrruiiiiing
franchise and Leno‘s owii 171111148 supremacy.

The execs spent Motility praising or

and for its timing

Zuckcr tans. nieatiyyhile. pi aiso-d his abil

while getting workaholic Leno to accept the
need for his own departure

Zucker fans also credit him. and Leno.
with avoiding an unpleasant situation such
as what occurred in 1993 when NBC picked
Leno over David Letterman to take over
Tonight from Carson. Letterman wound up
leaving NBC to take on Late Show at (‘88.
where he initially beat his rival in the rat
ings. But after Hugh Grant turned up on
Tonight in 1819.? to discuss his close encounter
with a Hollywood hooker. viewers migrated
over to Leno. who has prevailed ever since.

CBS waste-d no time Monday putting out
a- news release to note that Letterman had
finished the first week of the 'l‘\' scasoii in
his closest i'iililiii'llii'v'i- position to Leno in a
decade and actually lii‘til T‘ic Tonight Show
last Monday among all \ lt*\\'i‘l\ and in the 18-

NBC quickly responded with another
news release noting that Leno won last week

College-age voters
feel recruiters' tug

By Evelyn Nieves
mt "summon POSI

RENO. Nev. The students passing through the quad
on the way to classes the other day could not help but no-
tice Robert Lee. They had lots of competition for their at-
tention campus organizations lined up in a train of fold-
ing tables along the walkways but Lee was the guy in the
suit.

"Sign up for the College Republicans?“ he asked every
passing student. "Help reelect George Bush?"

Lee. despite his baggy. olive suit. was supposed to blend
in on the University of Nevada at Reno campus.

At 23 and newly graduated from Colorado State. he is
part of a crew of 60 field coordinators that the Republican
Party has dispatched to 40 states in a massive peer-to-peer
recruitment drive

The goal. of course. is to swell the Republican ranks
among Him-24year-olds in time for the November elec-
tions. especially in the all-important swing states.

In Nevada. a state that recent polls say is up for grabs.
“it‘s going extremely well.“ Lee said. “We’ve recruited
about 900 (‘ollege Republicans in this state beyond our
goal of 750 in Just a few weeks."

In what promises to be a banner year for young voters

polls and anecdotal evidence from several getout-the-
vote operations suggest that more l8-to-24-year-olds plan to
vote this year than in any year since 18-year»olds won the
right to vote iii 1973 the Republicans seem to be grabbing
their share.

A Washington Post-ABC poll. taken shortly after the Re-
publican National Convention. showed support for Presi-
dent Busli among college students increasing by 14 percent-
age points since Aug 1. while Sen. John I“. Kerry's support
dropped H percentage points. Kerry‘s support among vot~
ers 18 to 29 dropped from 63. percent to 49 percent that
month while Bush‘s share of the young vote increased to 46
percent. a 28-point turnaround in five weeks.

Still. polls released over the last week show that the
race has tightened since the Republican Convention. nearly
back into a statistical dead heat.

Surveys by the Harvard I'iiiversity Institute of Politics
show that fully half of college-age voters are fluid in their
politics swing voters. in other words who can be per
suaded which way to vote based on particular issues rather
than political ideologies

For college students. the war in Iraq. the economy
specifically. ioli opportunities and anxiety over rising tuA

ttion rates seem to top most lists of concerns

But because neither candidate owns any of those issues
.it this point. young people remain one of the most sought-

Republicans have been aggressive. But get out-the vote

THE KENTUCKY KE kill

If you‘ve been to a UK soc-
cer match. you may have
needed a program to recog-
nize the midfield.

That's because several
freshmen have given the
men's soccer team sound play
and an immediate impact.

Freshmen midfielders
Nathan Marks. Andrew
Alexander. Michael D'Agosti—
no and Dave Hertel have all
made solid contributions in
the Cats‘ midfield thus far
this season.
