NCAA: Morris ineligible for season

By Josh Sullivan
iii: iimucxv man

The NCAA ruled yesterday that
UK center Randolph Morris is inel-
igible for the entire 2005-06 season.
citing his relationship with a
sports agency and acceptance of
workout-related expenses from
various National Basketball Asso-
ciation teams leading up to the
June draft.

The NCAA's Student-Athlete
Reinstatement staff did rule that
Morris can return to the court for
the Wildcats next season. provided
he repays the more than $7.000 that
nine NBA teams paid to hold work-

Morris loses his sophomore
year of eligibility. If he decides to
return for the 2006—07 season. he‘ll
have two years of eligibility re-
maining.

NCAA rules prohibit players
from entering into a written or
oral agreement with an agent. Cal~
ifornia-based sports agency SFX
arranged workouts for Morris af-
ter he declared himself eligible for
the draft this spring. The agency
also released a statement on the
player’s behalf detailing his inten-
tion to remain available to be draft-
ed instead of pulling out before the
June 21 deadline.

Morris' relationship with SFX.

handled outside the confines of his
relationship with UK. was the crux
of the NCAA‘s case against him.

“When deciding to test the pro-
fessional waters. a student-athlete
should work closely with his or her
institution to ensure compliance
with NCAA rules. steps which
Morris did not take." said a state-
ment from the NCAA. the govern-
ing body for college sports.

“The agency marketed the stu-
dent-athlete‘s skills to NBA teams
and served as the teams' point of
contact for Morris. The agency
scheduled, arranged and con-
firmed workouts with NBA teams

outs for him.

THE KENTUCKY KERNEL

UK students are beginning to find that
the popular website Facebookcom is not
just a great way to keep up with friends. but
also a way to get in trouble with UK‘s ad-
ministration.

Dana Walton-Macaulay. assistant direc-
tor for student rights for UK‘s Office of Res-
idence Life, said she has had to handle alco-
hol-related violations resulting from in-
criminating Facebook photos.

“We deal with it as though the person

social groups. The site has grown exponen-
tially since its creation in spring of 2004
and is now available to anyone possessing a
university e-mail address at one of the col-
leges and universities it supports.

Students can limit access to their Face-
book accounts. Privacy options allow stu-
dents to limit viewing of their profile to
only people linked as friends.

Mike Falkowitz. UK's fraternity adviser:
said he has become aware of the question-
able content students are posting on their
Facebook profiles. especially in regards to
Greek organizations.

“We‘re not going out there and looking
for things." Falkowitz said. “Stuff is sent to
us periodically. sometimes we receive 9-
mails. sometimes from an anonymous
source.“

Falkowitz said students need to use
common sense when it comes to their on-
line activity.

“The first thing I would say is don‘t do
anything stupid; if you are going to be
breaking the rules. why are you going to be
publicizing it to the world?" Falkowitz said.
“Because all it takes is someone with a
grudge against an individual person or or
ganization to then pass it along to one per-
son.

Tony Blanton. associate dean of stu-
dents, said his office has yet to deal with
any violations due to Facebook content. He
said UK can use Facebook or linked Web-
shotscom content as evidence of violations
of the student code of conduct. He is not.
however. actively searching for violations
on the site, he said.

“I have no interest in searching through
students pictures on Facebook and Web-
shots to find pictures of students breaking
the rules." Blanton said.

High volume leads to poor hearing

By Jason Mouser
nit miwcin m

A not-so-silent threat may be lurk-
ing in your pocket.

Walking from one class to another,
students could be just a thumb click
away from permanent hearing loss.

While many people like their music
played loudly. it can get too loud quick-
ly; according to Dr. Sanford Archer, an
ear, nose and throat specialist with UK
HealthCare.

“If I can hear your music next to
you, then it’s too loud," Archer said.

According to WebMD.com, it’s easy
to damage your ears without even
noticing it at first. When hearing is
damaged, noticeable pain or obvious
symptoms rarely exist, according to
the Web site that contains comprehen-
sive health information for consumers
and physicians alike. Individuals can
go long periods of time before noticing
symptoms, such as trouble hearing in
crowded rooms with lot of background
noise.

“I think that if you listen to it at an

unreasonable volume for a long time.
then, yeah, it’s a concern," said Adam
Knadler. an accounting and finance
sophomore.

Apple's iPod is capable of volume of
well over 100 decibels. Most other
brands of mp3 players also have that
capability. But according to the US. De-
partment of Labor Occupational and
Health Administration. which is re-
sponsible for setting sound restrictions
in workplaces across the country, lis-
tening to sounds at 100 decibels should
only be done for two hours a day at the
most. Listening longer than that would
likely damage hearing and put the lis-
tener at serious risk of permanent
damage, the administration's Web site
said.

“It’s just a matter of controlling it
and not listening to it too long," said
business major Kristi Briggs.

A rise in people suffering from
noise-induced hearing loss has become
a great concern to experts who notice
the growing number of occurrences in
children. Many experts point to per-
sonal media players as the source of

the increase.

Archer said one of the worst as
pects of hearing loss is the fact that no
real treatment exists for it. Since most
damage is done to the ear’s nerves, the
damage is irreversible. ()nce hearing
loss is diagnosed, the best treatment is
a hearing aid or perhaps a cochlear im-
plant. he said.

A cochlear implant is a device that
uses electrodes to transmit to the audi-
tory nerve, but the device is imperfect
and would sound more electronic than
natural, Archer said. With a cochlear
implant, lip reading would have to still
be used for most conversations to be
understood.

In order to avoid hearing loss, indi-
viduals should listen to music at IOWer
levels and for shorter periods of time.
Archer said. If planning on listening
to music for a long period of time. stu-
dents should listen at a volume even
lower than they normally do, he added.

and sought feedback from teams on the
student-athlete‘s draft status," the
statement said.

The NCAA explained that Morris
was not permanently barred from col~
legiate competition because there was
no proof of an “explicit written or oral
agreement with an agent," but that
“based on the nature of the Morris
family's relationship with the agency
and the agency’s involvement through-
out the draft process, the reinstate-
ment staff determined a significant re-
instatement penalty was warranted."

At a press conference yesterday, UK
athletic director Mitch Barnhart said
the NCAA failed to heed the standards
set by past cases with this decision.

“We're extremely disappointed
with the NCAA’s ruling in this case,"
he said. “We don’t feel the punishment
is consistent with the past precedent
established by the previous
NCAA cases.”

Barnhart said UK would “We don't fEEI

said.

UK head coach Tubby Smith de-
clined to elaborate much on
the issue.

“I, too. am disappointed,
obviously, that things didn't
turn out better at this point
in time," he said at his press
conference yesterday.
“There’s not much more any-
body can say about (it) until

Rick Evrard, the Kansas

“amazing questions to light."

Pinsky hosted the radio show for
free for 10 years.

“I thought it was community ser-
vice,“ he said, but added that a lot of
people were outraged at the shows for-
mat.

“As far as the American public was
concerned. people your age weren‘t hav-
ing sex in 1983." he said. “Young people
weren't being encouraged to talk about
sex or protect themselves.“

During last night‘s speech. Pinsky
invited UK students to talk openly about
hookups.

“They’re shrouded in mystery," Pin~
sky said. saying that “hooking up" can
range from kissing or holding hands to
having a one‘night stand.

Mainly, he wanted to know why alco
hol is usually involved.

“If you’re using a university e-mail
to log in, then I guess the university can
use the content," Blakeney said. “It's
like the saying, ‘Don’t write it if you
don‘t want other people to see it.’ So
don't post it if you don‘t want other peo-
ple to see it."

Paul Salamanca, an associate UK
law professor. said the university's can
legally use Facebook and Webshots con-
tent as evidence of violations.

“Once you put something on the
Web, you waive the privacy," Salamanca
said. “If you want to keep something
private, don't put it on the Web."

UK is not the only university that’s
been using Facebook to punish students
who post incriminating information.

“Women are like the flight deck of a

Students also got clear answers to
questions about more technical aspects
of sex.

“I wasn’t expecting him to be as
straightforward.“ said communications
sophomore Grace Hahn. “He was a lot
more conversational than he is on the
show, I thought it was better that the au-
dience could respond.“

Most students said they enjoyed Pin-
sky’s question-and-answer format.

“It was funny and entertaining a
good way to get college kids out here
and their questions asked." said
Meghan LaVallie, a merchandising, ap-
parel and textiles freshman.

Pinsky's speech also helped break
through social norms for some.

“I was surprised how it opened up a
lot of taboo topics for discussion." Ja-
son Nehmer. an agricultural biotechnol-

Classics andflriiiég“
abound at Black Swan

ly Linde Curtln
M tritium mm

Buying a book as a holi-
day gift at Black Swan Books
could mean anything from
purchasing a novel to shelling
out 815,0“) for a first-edition
written by Thomas Jefferson.

And while making the
buy you could rub shoulders
with movie stars, singers or
wannabe celebrities.

Black Swan Books, located
at 505 E. Maxwell St., carries
many rare, unusual books
among its more than 100,000
wlumes, including a first edi-
tion of Jefferson’s “Notes On
Wrginia," kept under lock
and key valued at $15,000.

J. Michael Courtney, Black
Swan Books owner for the
last 22 years, said serious
book collectors can find many
rare first- and second-edition
books in the store, which
Courtney has found by
searching over the years to
add to Black Swan’s vast col-
lection.

“I’ve had people looking
for witches’ bibles and books
on how to build atomic
bombs,” said Courtney, who
has a master’s degree from
UK in library science, with a
specialization in rare books.

Much of Courtney’s clien-
tele aren’t local. Book lovers
fi'om out of town ofien stop by
to browse when they are in
Lexington.

“When it was closing time
one night, I kindly asked a
customer to leave and later
found out it was actress Su-
san Sarandon,” Courtney

said.

Courtney has also had
other celebrities, including a
Backstreet Boys singer, visit
his store. One man claimed to
be singer James Brown, the
“godfather of soul," and per-
formed an impromptu dance
at the checkout counter after
a night of partying around
town. The same man claimed
to be Elvis during another
visit.

One thing Courtney said
draws his customers is the
care he takes of his books.

“We have dust jackets or
presentation bindings on al-
most all of our books. That is
what sets us apart from many
other stores, and what takes
the price of Mark Twain’s
‘Life On The Mississippi’
from $300 to $5,,”000 Courtney
said.

National bookstore chains
such as Barnes & Noble have
a large selection of books, a
coffee shop and the occasional
book signing, but for those
who enjoy an evening of lis-
tening to excerpts read by ac-
claimed authors, Black Swan
has a history of drawing in
special events.

Wendell Berry. former UK
English professor: TS. Eliot
Award winner and author of
more than 40 books including
novels, essays and poetry, re-
cently visited to do a reading
from his new book, “The Way
Of Ignorance And Other Es-
says.” Berry fans from as far
as Canada, Minnesota and
Iowa traveled to Lexington for
a chance to meet the author,
ask him questions and have

him autograph a book for
them. All seats in the house
were full and many were left
standing as the crowd over-
flowed into the adjacent hall-
ways.

Some UK students often
visit the store to look for a
hard-to-find book or just to
browse and relax in a place
they enjoy as book lovers.

“I always pass the book-
store and have always wanted
to stop just to see what kind of
weird or interesting things I
could find," said marketing
sophomore Lauren Bassett.

Courtney is always look-
ing for rare and interesting
additions to contribute to the
store‘s collection, and cus-
tomers may sell their books at
the store. An impressive addi-
tion this year is a second edi-
tion of “Montesquieu: The
Spirit Of The Laws.“ a book
from the famous French au-
thor written in 1750.

Students such as Bassett
might not be looking for
books from 18th-century
France, but the store carries
modern-day reading necessi-
ties and one might find just
the right volume of one of the
all-time student favorites e
Cliff Notes.

“We’re an old fashioned
retail business,“ said Court-
ney. “I aim to provide my cus-
tomers with hands-on person-
al service and a neighborhood
gathering place for people
who want one-of-a-kind
books.“

Shuttles help students ditch

By Ellie Fairbanks
mt tturucxv mm

Everyone has been there,
stuck in that awful
Nicholasville Road traffic.
With final exams and the hol-
iday season quickly ap-
proaching, UK Parking is of-
fering a free solution to the
traffic and holiday shopping
hassles.

In order to help with this,
UK’s Department of Parking
and Transportation and Stu-
dent Government are co-
sponsoring a holiday shop-
ping shuttle to Fayette Mail
for students. On Saturday,
CATS buses will pick up stu-
dents at various locations
around campus, drive them
to the Fayette Mall, and re-
turn students to UK. The
buses will run from noon to 6
pm, picking up and drop-
ping off students about every
45 minutes.

Pick-up locations include
the Student Center, Greg
Page, Shawneetown, the Se-
nior Citizens Center and the
corners of Rose Street and
Columbia Avenue, Hilltop
and Woodland avenues and
University and Huguelet dri-

m.

the overall stress of the holi-
day season.

“Anyone who doesn’t have
a car at school, who doesn‘t
want to drive with these high
gas prices, deal with Lexing-
ton traffic, or worry about
finding parking at the crowd-
ed mall can benefit from this
service,” Balding said.

This service started last
year. Both UK and SG con-
tribute financially to the pro
ject, and they hope to see
more involvement this week-
end than last weekend’s low
turnout.

“We really didn‘t have too
many students come out last
weekend, but we’d love to see

holiday jams-

more on the 11th." Balding
said.

Even if students aren‘t in
the holiday shopping spirit
yet, Balding doesn‘t see why
they would not want an ex
cuse to go to the mall.

“This is just for any kind
of shopping you may want to
do," she said. “You don't even
have to be Christmas shop-
ping."

Some students said this is
a good way for UK to help
those on campus get around,
especially if they do not have ’
a car.

“I think it sounds really
helpful, especially for people
that don't have a car at
school," said chemical engi-
neering sophomore Chris
Jones. “It's not always easy
to find someone willing to
drive you places whenever
you need to go somewhere."

UK and SG hope to con-
tinue this shopping shuttle
for many more holidays to
come.

“We really just want to let
kids get out there and do
some shopping and take a
break from everything on
campus,“ Balding said. “It‘s a
way for students to go shop-
ping easily if. for any reason.
they don't want to drive
themselves."
