Campaign brings abortion debate to campus streets

Keeping a straight face was diffi-
cult for some students who wit-
nessed several trucks displaying 8~
foot-by~22-foot images of first-
trimester aborted fetuses driving
around campus yesterday.

ginia.

“Injustice must be seen to be un-
derstood,” said Mark Harrington,
executive director for the Center for
BioEthical Reform’s Midwest
branch in Columbus. Ohio. which is
heading up the campaign.

Some students thought the
method of displaying the graphic
pictures was unusual.

“It's a little disturbing to see pic-

“I don’t understand why they feel
the need to do that.”

And some said, despite the im-
ages. their stance won't change.

”Not at all." said Ryan Mabeliti-
ni. a pro-choice anthropology senior
who won’t change his stance on the
issue because of the visual images.

“It offends me they would go that
far to shock."

Harrington said the reason this
method of display was chosen was

they have it on trucks." said art
sophomore Lauren Mouser.

Many were simply shocked by
the images themselves.

“It’s kind of scares me," said bi-
ology freshman Erin Ward. “I'm
anti-abortion, but I think it’s kind of
disturbing."

But because of the nature of the
images. Ward said she believes the
display will be effective.

“I wouldn’t say it’s not going far

said. “I think it’ll probably scare
people who are proabortion (into
changing)."

Others thought putting it on the
side of trucks was a poor choice.

“I think it‘s kind of tacky," said
philosophy senior Robert Harpring.
“It's propaganda in a way. It's an ap
peal to people's emotions by forcing
a crazy image on them."

The choice of images offended
others.

“It’s going a little too far." said

By Troy Lyle
THE krnrucxv KERNEL

UK President Lee Todd asked faculty
members to renew their commitment to
making UK Kentucky’s flagship university
in his State of the University Address at the
Main Building yesterday.

More than 70 faculty members gathered
on the second floor of the
building to hear the ad-
dress.

“We must foster a dia-
logue about the future of
Kentucky, the importance of
this university and why the
commonwealth deserves a
top20 institution,“ he said.

Todd continued adding
that this task is the respon-
sibility of the entire uni-
'versity — the administra-
tion, faculty, staff and students.

He then challenged each faculty member
to make themselves ambassadors for UK.

“We need more of you (faculty) to go out
to the state." he said. “To recruit and tell
what you are doing to make Kentucky bet-
ter.”

Senior Vickie Goss
hopes to change
misconceptions about
UK rifle team

By Michael Coyne
THE mnucxv mm

Some student athletes are mi-
nor celebrities in a college town.

As a freshman in 2002, Vickie
Goss saw no fanfare, but did see
a need to educate others about
the sport that brought her from
Palmyra. Pa, to UK.

“When I told people I was on
the rifle team, they thought we
spun rifles at the football
games,” Goss said.

The lack of fan acknowledg-
ment cannot be attributed to a
lack of success. In seven of the
past 11 years, head coach Harry
Mullins’ UK team has finished
the season ranked among the na-
tion’s top three teams.

And the general naivety to
the sport extends beyond Goss,
who fired her first gun as a 3-
year-old.

“At least half the team has
been asked, at some point, if we
shoot each other in competi-
tion," Goss said. “I don’t think
any of us would be here if that
was the case.”

Indeed, rifle competitors do
not shoot each other, nor are
they the ones who twirl rifles
alongside the marching band. A
match is conducted in two
events: small bore and air rifle
and each of the proceedings use
inanimate targets.

For small bore. shooters fire
20, .22 caliber shots standing.
kneeling and lying down at a
bull’s-eye “1/3 of a millimeter in
size — smaller than a period at
the end of a sentence." Goss
said.

men-ulna"

Rifle senior Vickie Goss and UK are used to success, but there are common misconceptions about her sport. "At least half
the team has been asked, at some point, if we shoot each other in competition." Goss said. UK rifle's first match of the
season is Saturday against Army at Buell Armory.

In air rifle, competitors
stand and shoot .177 caliber pel-
lets at a slightly larger, half-mil-
limeter bull’s-eye.

Prior to the match. four
members from each team are
chosen by the coach to have
their shots count towards the
team's final score.

Goss said she is usually cho
sen as one of these four.

Campus begins system transition

lRlS project starts first of three phases to integrate information flow among
all divisions and departments on UK's campus

By Ryan Evans
m: KENTUCKY mm

Students and faculty are ad-
justing to the first of three phas-
es of the Integrated Resource In-
formation Systems project. a
campus-wide computing integra.
tion of all divisions and depart-
ments. This system will include
access to financial aid. student
accounts. staff and faculty pay-
roll and tuition payments.

The first phase of the pro
gram. which was implemented
yesterday. allows university em-
ployees and students limited ac-
cess to the new software system.
which is called System Analysis
and Program development.

Faculty members can now
manage personal accounts and
order supplies through the new
system.

Students can use the pro-
gram to make online tuition pay-
ments with a credit card.

The system will gradually be
implemented in three phases re-
placing the Student Information
System. Human Resources Sys-
tem and the Financial Resources
System. The systems are costly
to maintain and lack integration
capabilities.

“The main purpose of the
IRIS project is to streamline and
integrate all the different sys-
tems being used by the universi-
ty.“ said Phyllis Nash. director of
the IRIS Project.

The integration is scheduled
for completion in October of
2006.

Currently. students can only
use credit cards for payment in
person or over an automated
phone system. There is a $25 fee

for credit card payment, but
that will be eliminated with the
new system.

The IRIS project will also
eventually change ID numbers
used by UK students and em-
ployees. The SAP system will
issue one ID number for each
individual. which will be used
in all situations.

“We do have students who
also work for the university and
employees who take classes.
and they require multiple ID
numbers." said Nash.

"They have to use a different
ID number for different things,
depending on whether they‘re
doing it as a student or as an em-
ployee. We're hoping to stream-
line this."

The current student ID num-
bers are issued in relation to the
student‘s social security number.

 

 

IRIS Project Goals

- Students can use "US to pay bills
and tuition fees online with a credit Cl‘d.

- Faculty members can use ms to
manage accounts and order class sup-
plies.

because of apathy on the part
of the mainstream media to
display the pictures.

“We've had to come up
with our own mass media
venue." he said.

The real point, Harring-
ton said. was for the pictures
to be seen by the public.

“Reformers have always
used pictures of injustice to
make their point." Harring-
ton said. “We‘re not doing
anything different."

Harrington said he was
also aware of the possibility
of children seeing the pic-
tures and being shocked.

“I have my own four chil-
dren and in a perfect World I
wouldn‘t want them to see
(the pictures).“ Harrington
said. “But we came to a deci-
sion... We are more pro-life
than profeelings. Life trumps

feelings. Saving life trumps
sparing offending someone.”

Krista King. president of
College Democrats at UK. ex-
pressed a different view.

“I personally would never
have an abortion, but I would
support someone's right to a
choice.” she said.

She also said the prolife
group had the right to demon-
strate as they did. she feels it's
now someone else’s turn.

“I personally may not like
it.” King said. “But under the
Constitution. they have the
right to do that and are pro
tected."

Today, a Women’s Studies
group is setting up a booth on
campus, at a location that had
not yet been decided as of 9
pm. last night. to distribute
information and contracep
tives as an alternative to yes-
terday’s demonstration.

“We just want to make
sure all students know both
sides of the story."

and providing additional training
for hiring officers. Todd said the ad-
ministration is also working on de»
veloping a black student survey.
The purpose of the survey is to ex-

amine the UK‘s recruitment of
black students.

“The same is true for black staff
and faculty." he said. “We’ve made
improvements in terms of female
hires. but still need to do more in
terms of recruiting black manage-
ment and staff."

Ernie Yanarella. chairman of
the University Senate. said UK is at
an extremely important point in its

pursuit of becoming a top-20 insti-
tution.

“There‘s a pervasive sense on
campus that this is a critical year
for UK” he said.

Todd agreed.

Ever since House Bill 1 was
passed in 1997 and the state issued
its top-20 challenge. UK has been
taking the necessary steps to ac-
complish this goal. he said.

ETCETERA I The Poore Philosophy
ln-class eaters exposed: Did you bring enough for everyone?

Today’s subject is eating in
class.

As we all know, eating in places
other than the dinner table. restau-
rant. car or the
carpet in front of
the TV is in-
stinct for most
people. I’ve
found food I nev-
er knew I ate
safely tucked
away under-
neath the cush-
ion of my futon.
This is because
we are taught.
since we were
babies. that eat-
ing wherever we
generally find ourselves at that mo
ment is OK. Everyone gets hungry.
Babies mostly put everything in

their mouths. Dogs are similar.

A constant stream of nutrition
is important for toddlers to grow up
and become generally obsessed
with “Laguna Beach."

And because college is the most
disorganized time in our lives out-
side of family reunions. we must
multitask. Classroom munchies
have become a staple of campus.

So. those of us observant-types
— and if you‘re reading this. you‘re
one of them since you‘ve moved
past the crossword puzzle onto oth-
er parts of the newspaper — have
seen a disturbing trend. People
have pushed aside certain behavior
normal in class like taking notes.
sleeping. sending text messages.
and generally ignoring the instruc-
tor and replaced them with a five-
course dining experience. My com-
pliments to the chef. because I've

seen some interesting feats pulled
off in the classroom dining experi-
ment. Calzones-to-go. cereal boxes
and milk. and dad with the back-
yard grill are some of the better
ones.

What‘s funny about people eat-
ing in class is they don‘t realize the
distraction they can be. Tearing
through a box of wheat crackers
while the professor lectures on the
effects of the Peloponnesian War on
why I can't have cheaper gasoline
can be a bit annoying. Crunching
in a class where everyone is asleep
sounds like gravel is being grinded
by a cement mixer.

It also causes a problem for
those of us who don't bring our
kitchen to class because college stu-
dents are usually starving. even
though we may have just an hour

old pizza we found in the bottom of
the usually-empty refrigerator. This
problem is enhanced by going
hours and hours without food due
to excessive watching of the “()C."

But the idea of sharing is last
on the mind of a classroom-eater.
Of course they didn't bring enough
for everyone else an idea taught
by both “Sesame Street" and your
parents. thereby emphasizing the
importance of letting everyone par-
take in pigging out.

Maybe bringing buffets to class
isn't a good idea. After all. a recent
study by a national glutton think
tank said UK was the fattest cam-
pus in the Solar System. which is
interesting because walking from
K-I.ot to the Student Center burns
off the body fat of at least two or
three small children.

to squeeze into their underwear in
which the tags are made of more
material than the undies them-
selves. Most men. however. an-
swered the survey with. “I‘ve

So kids. stop eating. No. I'm kid-

MUSIC REVIEW I Ryan AdamsStheCardinals

By Ryan Ebelhar
mm MUSIC CRITIC

“I like all kinds of music. except country."

This is a comment I often hear from my
friends - and see a lot of times while brows-
ing facebook.com.

The people saying this clearly have not
listened to Ryan Adams and the Cardinals.
Of course. seeing as how awful today’s cur-
rent country music scene can be. I can hardly
blame them for their opinion. Ryan Adams
joins the ranks of Neko Case and Kasey
Chambers in a sub-genre known as alt-coun-
tI'Y-

The music is certainly country, but has a
certain spark of rock that keeps it off most
country radio stations.

The second album. “Jacksonville City
Nights." has Adams teaming up with the Car-

dinals. and is the second of three planned re-
leases by Ryan Adams and the Cardinals this
year. The first was the excellent “Cold Roses“
back in May. and the third is tentatively titled
“29." which is set to be released in November.

One of Adams’ old songs from his first al-
bum is set to appear on the “Elizabethtown”
soundtrack. While “Cold Roses“ had inklings
of Grateful Dead in it 7 even down to the lin-
er notes — “Jacksonville City N ights” sounds
much more like something that Merle Hag-
gard or Willie Nelson would have released in
the early 1970s.

The band includes Adams on vocals and
rhythm guitar. Catherine Popper on bass. JP
Bowersock on lead guitar. Brad Pemberton
on drums and Jon Graboff on pedal steel gui-
tar. The band has led to a much tighter sound
for Adams as his last album‘s sound was all
over the place. This is a much more solid al-

bum than “Rock-anoll“ and not as shaky in
places as “Cold Roses;" it is more of a resem~
blance of “Heartbreaker.”

A big highlight on this album is the song
“Dear John." which features Norah Jones on
piano and vocals. Anyone that attended the
Jones concert in Rupp Arena last year knows
she is a top-notch singer and fits this song
perfectly.

The only downsides to this album. if you
can even consider them actual downsides. are
that the songs the band has been playing live
all year. such as “A Kiss Before I Go“ and
“The End." don't have nearly the punch they
do in concert. Certainly listening to Adams
wailing about Jacksonville in "The End" is a

powerful thing. but it lacks the emotion of

seeing him live.
Must-listens on this album are Brower-
socks and Graboff‘s duet. Pedal steel guitar

 

Musrc Nurses | Octalux
Four UK students celebrate the release

of their new album, “Loud, Fast and Awesome."

By Ryan Ebelhar
mm uusrc camc

After releasing their first CD on Saturday.
four UK students describe their band. Oc-
talux. “as the offspring of My Chemical Ro-
mance, Kiss and Johnny Cash.” if there ever
was such.

Sound like a stretch? Not for Brandon
Hurley. Ryne Hunt. Dustin Quillen and
Chase Gabbard. The CD. “Loud. Fast and
Awesome,” went on sale this weekend at CD
Warehouse. but not before the band threw
quite a celebration for its release Saturday at
the Short Street Lounge.

As a mild mannered guy. I had never ac-
tually gone to the Short Street Lounge. After
my new experience I learned that it is in fact
a good idea to leap into uncharted territory
and try something new. but just remember to
bring along a set of ear plugs. Trying some-
thing new can be loud.

Octalux. with Hurley as lead singer. Hunt
on lead guitar. Quillen providing bass and
background vocals. and Gabbard on the
drums. gave their all in this significant per-
formance. While I heard no Johnny Cash
while listening to the band, I was informed
that Hunt's inspiration to start playing mu-
sic came from listening to his dad’s old John-

ny Cash music. Pair that with Hurley‘s fa-
ther’s love for playing Cash’s tunes. and the
combination is understandable.

“My dad played the twanger a lot when
my mom worked, so it kind of sank in." said
Hurley.

While listening to the band I heard
shades of My Chemical Romance. and also
some Pennywise thrown in. which is espe-
cially prevalent in songs like “Razorblades
and Sutures."

Before Octalux took the stage. three open-
ing bands entertained about 200 devoted
fans. The first was Broken Stone. a hardcore
band from Bloomington. Ind.. directly fol~
lowed by a punk band called Euphoric Reme-
dy that was so loud I decided to sit outside
and skip out on the third band. to recover
from the headache I just received. The group
I missed out on was Four. from Louisville.

Already with devoted fans decked out in
Octalux T-shirts. this band is hopeful their
new album will be deemed successful by all
ages.

“We play at skate parks and teenagers
seem to enjoy our music and we have older
people who just come to the bar to listen to
the music and forget what‘s going on in their
lives." said Hurley.

 

 

I‘m not sure what they based

is a highly underrated instrument and is giv-
en its due on this track by Graboff with per—
fect accompaniment. ferocious lead licks and
Adams' vocals.

This album is certainly a top 10 record for
2005. You'd be foolish to not give it a listen.

Octalux members Brandon Hurley, Ryne Hunt, Dustin Ouillen and Chase Gabbard released their new album.
"Loud, Fast and Awesome" this weekend. The CD will be available on Friday at CD Central, CD Warehouse,

Spy Records. Disc Jockey and Chuck's Music.

The band members produced “Loud. Fast
and Awesome." independently. producing
1.000 discs. Even though the CDs didn‘t ar-
rive from the factory until Friday morning.
they remain confident in their new release.

Since I'm no good in a mosh pit. I sat to-
ward the back. The band treated the audi-
ence the same way seasoned veterans would
have treated a sold-out arena. Octalux per—
formed its heart out and were even more pas-

sionate than some bands that play at Rupp
Arena.

1 often hear from music lovers say they
got to see a band in concert before they made
it big. I hope now I can say the same thing
about Octalux.

Bush tabs White House counsel as next justice

By Michael A. Fletcher
not “summon 905!

WASHINGTON ,_ President Bush nomi-
nated Harriet Ellan Miers. his White House
counsel and former personal attorney. to the
Supreme Court Monday, choosing a woman
who broke barriers in the male-dominated
Texas legal world but brings no judicial expe-
rience or constitutional background to her
new assignment.

Bush announced his choice for the na-
tion‘s 110th justice from the Oval Office short-
ly before the court opened its new term under
newly installed Chief Justice John G. Roberts
Jr. In his nationally televised statement. Bush
simultaneously introduced Miers and defend-
ed her legal resume. which came under imme»
diate attack from some conservative groups.

In succeeding Justice Sandra Day O'Con-
nor. one of the court‘s swing voters. Miers
would be in position to move it decisively to
the right. Bush said she would bring a distinc-
tive perspective to the high court while strictly
interpreting the Constitution and not legislat-
ing from the bench.

“In selecting a nominee. I‘ve sought to find
an American of grace. judgment and unwaver-
ing devotion to the Constitution and laws of
our country. Harriet Miers is just such a per-
son.“ Bush said. “I've known Harriet for more
than a decade. I know her heart. I know her
character“

The White House appeared to be seeking a
smooth confirmation process, bypassing can-

didates with more established conservative
bona titles at a time when Bush is beset with
political problems ranging from Iraq to Hurri-
cane Katrina. Based on advance soundings
with Senate Democratic leader Harry M. Reid
(Nev) and conservative leader James C. Dob-
son. the White House calculated that Miers
would draw broad support.

But Monday‘s response to the nominee left
this open to doubt. There was widespread dis-
sent among Bush's usual allies on the right.
who questioned whether the 60year-old for-
mer corporate lawyer possessed the distin-
guished qualifications and conservative cre-
dentials they are looking for in a court nomi-
nee. “It could well be that she is in the tradi-
tion of Clarence Thomas or Antonin Scalia. as
the president has promised." said Jan LaRue.
chief counsel of Concerned Women for Amer-
ica. “The problem is that those of us who were
looking for some tangible evidence of that
have none. and we can‘t come out of the box
supporting her."

Advocates on the left and their allies in the
Senate also urged caution. pronouncing Miers‘
judicial philosophy and constitutional views a
mystery “We know next to nothing about the
legal philosophy of the person President Bush
has selected to replace Justice O‘Connor cast-
ing the deciding votes on the most difficult is-
sues confronting our nation.“ said Sen. John F
Kerry. D-Mass. “America can‘t afford a replay
of the unrevealing confirmation process that
preceded Chief Justice Roberts‘ confirma-
tion."

Bush described Miers. who if confirmed
would be the third women to sit on the
Supreme Court, as a legal pioneer who repeat-
edly overcame gender barriers to reach the
highest levels of her profession. Before being
named White House counsel last year. she
served as White House deputy chief of staff
and staff secretary. a job in which she re-
viewed virtually every document that went be-
fore the president.

Prior to joining the Bush administration,
Miers was Bush‘s personal attorney in Texas
and served as general counsel of his guberna-
torial campaign committee. As governor. Bush
appointed Miers chairman of the scandal-
plagued Texas Lottery Commission. where she
earned a reputation as a tough manager after
firing two executive directors.
