House boosts

’ 0
UK s funding
Taxes for tobacco and alcohol products
raised; Senate must approve budget next

8v Trev Lie
THE mrucini (thirst

FRANKFURT Ky. . Late
Friday night. the state House
of Representatives approved a
budget that provides UK an
additional $3.5 million in
funding and $40 million to
help fund the new pharma-
ceutical complex.

In an unprecedented show
of bipartisanship. House Bill
267 a “bare bones" budget

unanimously passed. In ad-
dition. the House passed
House Bill 272 by a 964 vote.
This bill would provide rev-
enue increases by implement-
ing several initiatives aimed
at everything from cigarettes
to personal income taxes.

Both bills received over-
whelming support despite
early legislative pessimism
that a tax modernization plan
that Gov. Ernie Fletcher pro
posed to revamp Kentucky‘s
tax system wouldn‘t be feast
ble.

UK President Lee Todd
said he would like to have
more money. but added that
these moves are positive steps
in the right direction.

“This is the first budget
increase I‘ve seen in my three
years here." he said. “I‘m en-
couraged by what the gover-
nor and House are doing.“

Initially. the state was of-
fering $21 million in funding
for the pharmaceutical com-
plex. which UK was going to
have to match. But in an
amendment to the new bud-
get bill. legislators increased
that figure by $19 million.

That amendment also pro
vided art additional 815 mil-
lion in funding for all of Ken-
tucky higher education. At
this time. UK is expected to
receive $1.5 million of that
money.

All of these numbers are

subject to change. said Angie
Martin. vice president for
planning. budget and policy at
UK

Martin cautioned that
both bills have a long way to
go. with approval still needed
from the state Senate and the
governor. she said.

Martin also said “it‘s too
early to tell" whether the ad-
ditional funding could be
used to offset a proposed 14.5
percent tuition increase for
next school year.

“We will go back and look
at the entire financial picture
once these bills become law."
she said. “At this point. we
don‘t know what the final ver-
sion will be.“

Another initiative in HR.
272. the tax bill, is a tuition
tax credit for undergraduate
students from Kentucky. The
credit could be worth up to
$500.

The state estimates that
more than 61.000 families will
be able to utilize the credit.
The average Kentucky tax-
payer who qualifies for the
federal tax credit will receive
a credit of roughly $262. ac-
cording to the proposed bud-
get‘s data. The credit will re-
sult in an estimated $16 mil
lion of assistance to state tax.
payers in the fiscal year 2006.

"This credit should make
college more reasonable for
all Kentuckians attending col-
lege." said Harry Moberly.
House budget chairman.

Legislators heralded both
bills as examples of what can
happen when partisanship is
set aside.

Moberly credited Fletcher
with having the courage to
pursue this plan.

“I commend the governor
for making a comprehensive
and bold tax mixiernization

“I'm not sure I can speak to (Nietzel be-

Cats

Continued from page 1

Randolph Morris led the Cats to their
highest offensive output since a 101-72 win
over Eastern Kentucky in 2003.

Morris made his first four field goal
attempts and first six freethrow attempts
to finish with a team-high 17 points and
six rebounds before fouling out of the
game with six minutes remaining.

"Randolph played really well." said so
nior forward (‘huck Hayes. “He made
them guard him inside. and he demanded
so much attention. He's really made a con-
scious effort to bring the same aggressive-
ness to practice and the games."

Smith credited Morris' inside play

with heating the Mississippi State zone.
a defense UK struggled with in its loss to
South Carolina and made special note
of the 59 percent free throw shooter's 7of-
8 performance from the foul line.

Junior guard Patrick Sparks. who con-
nected on four .‘lpointers for 14 points.
said Morris' presence inside allowed UK's
perimeter players more open looks. which

Many of UK‘s scoring opportunities
during that stretch came off Bulldog
turnovers. Freshman guard Rajon Rondo
had seven of his schoolrecord-tying eight
steals in the second half. and Mississippi
State committed a season-high 23
turnovers in the game.

“Once that dam opened up a little bit
# and started a little leak it started
leaking more and more." said Bulldogs
head coach Rick Stansbury. "When that
started to happen. (Rondo‘s) energy level
just kept going up.

“We made some careless passes. but I
give him credit. he's one of the best steal
guys in the SEC."

While Rondo provided the defensive
spark for UK. his freshman teammate

The maturation of Morris finally
seems to have taken another huge step
forward. And the Cats needed it desper

“I knew it would be a matter of time

Shakespeare Satire shines onstage

By Melissa Smith Mallery
THE ittiitucxv mm

The classic tragedies of
Shakespeare are known and
beloved throughout the
world. As loved as they are.
it‘s hard to watch such stupid
mistakes when the audience
has full knowledge of the sit-
uation. You just want to ex-
pose Iago to Othello and tell
Tybalt of the new marriage
before everything goes awry.

Good Night Desdemona.
Good Morning Juliet opens
with Constance Ledbelly.
played by Dana Chester. pos-
tulating on the possibility
that these ersatz tragedies
are actually comedies that
Shakespeare stole and twist-
ed to fit his purpose. Chester
lectures to the audience as if
it was a group of students.
and her confidence in her
theory makes the logic plau-
sible.

(‘onstance is working on
her doctorate, which hinges
on the decryption of the Gus-
tav manuscript. All of this
hard work for so long has left
Constance socially insecure.
Chester plays this particular-
ly well when the love of Con-
stances life and boss ._, de-
livers the news of his new
post at Oxford. Her inability
to act cool around Claude
Night (Terrence Tucker) is
reminiscent of middle school
self—consciousness.

One of Constance‘ 5 ideas
involves the presence of a
wise fool that Shakespeare
extracted from the comedies.
and in her search for this
wise fool. she is sucked into
Othello. Each actor in this
play a with the exception of
Chester and her two fools
(Blake Carlson and Chris De-
Santis) -— plays at least three
roles. Jenny Fitzpatrick as
Desdemona erases any pre-
conceived notions about her
delicacy and innocence. and
she injects the character with
a fervor and energy that
overpowers Chester.

When her purpose is ful-
filled at Cyprus. where Othel~
lo‘s citadel is located, Con-
stance is then transported to
Verona. where she happens
upon Romeo. Tybalt and Mer-
cutio just before the story
takes a down turn. Adam Fis-

The zeal of both Romeo

act a bit more liveliness than
the first. especially as Con-

surdity.

Anyone who appreciates
Shakespeare enough to enjoy
seeing it made fun of will
like this show. Juliet and Des-
demona are some of the most
well known leading women.
and although Juliet turns out
to be sex—crazed and Desde-
mona is a killing machine at
heart. they still maintain
some of the qualities that
make us love them.

Ann-Marie MacDonald‘s
Desdemona finally acqui-
esces to the pleadings of au-
diences everywhere and
shows them what happens if
the characters‘ fates are
thwarted and their lives
saved.

Dalek brings eclectic to LexVegas

So Public Enemy. Aphex
Twin and Wolf Eyes walk
into abar.

W h a t
sounds like
the begin-
ning of a
joke is ac-
tually the
best way to
describe
the sonic
mosaic of
a v a n t -
garde hip-
hop collec-
tive Dalek.

With a
smorgasbord of disparate in~
tluences, sociopolitical agen-
das and musical ambition.
Dalek will startle the masses
at the Dame tonight in sup-
port of their newest effort.
Absence. just released on
Mike Patton‘s Ipecac label.

As one of the most un-
equivocally innovative
artists to emerge from the
American underground hip-
hop scene. Dalek coalesces
colossal mid-tempo jazz and
trip-hop beats with drones.
white noise, static and re-
verb: creating swirling tex-
tures in the vein of late 1970s
decibel-shredding symphonic
composer Glenn Bran ‘a

Bloody Valentine and experi-
mentalists Black Dice.

The effect is a bizarre and
hazy gray area between cere-
bral hip-hop. ambient elec-
tronic and abrasive psyche-
delic hypnosis.

Formed at New Jersey‘s
William Patterson University
circa 1998. the threepiece
Dalek have employed a tire-
less DIY touring ethic since
the group's genesis. progres-
sively picking up steam and
praise with each tour. Their
broad sound led them to open
for a roster as eclectic as
Prince Paul. Kid 606 and the
Dillinger Escape Plan.

As their most adventur-
ous work yet. Absence fea-
tures classic hip-hop
rhythms crashing uniformly
with clamorous and disso-
nant tones masterfully pro
duced to create transient har-
monies. Combine their pio-
neering sound with lyrics

hanging at the corner of so-
cial injustice and frustration
toward pop culture. and you
have an album that truly
raises the bar for everyone
just like DJ Shadow's Endtro-
ducting or The Roots‘
Phrenology did.

Tracks like “Ever
Somber" evokes the spacey.
melodic beauty of Square-
pusher's more conventional
compositions. while "Opiate
the Masses." in reference to
Karl Marx’s views on orga-
nized religion. offer an ag—
gressive edge that could have
fit perfectly on Fear of a
BlacA‘ Planet while perform
ing collateral damage on
one's ghetto blaster.

It's as good as it sounds.

Opening for Dalek is the
Cincinnati jazz trio IsWhat‘fl.
who amalgamate the off-kil
ter rhythms of DJ Spooky
with the jazz-hop of Digable
Planets and spoken word po-
etry.

Artists like Dalek and
IsWhat?! prove that hip-hop
can be some of the most emo-
tive. expressive and innova-
tive music in pop culture.
You should walk into a bar
yourself and witness the
freshest sound in experimen-
tal hip-hop.
