Students e-mail woes to legislators

By Sean Rose
IitE knitucxv mm

Students fought tuition
hikes with e-mails yesterday as
Student Government organized
an effort sending student con-
cerns to Frankfort.

The event, “Listen Up Legis-
lators,” was a drive for students
to send e-mails to their state
representatives and senators.

86 President Becky
Ellingsworth said every public
university in the state was par-
ticipating in the event either to-
day or yesterday. It was espe-
cially important for UK stu-
dents, she said, with looming
tuition raises depending on the
amount of funding that comes
from Frankfort.

“Unless our voice is heard
they’re (legislators) going to ig-

nore it, basically,” Ellingsworth
said.

“This year is especially im-
portant that students show
their support against tuition in-
creases because the budget
that’s going through will affect
the next two years of UK’s
funding,” she said.

During the four-hour drive
yesterday in the White Hall
Classroom Building, students

could come up to laptops and
fill in their personal informa-
tion in a message urging sup-
port for the Top-20 Business
Plan and for keeping tuition in—
creases low. SG held a raffle for
all students who participated to
win an iPod Shuffle.
Ellingsworth said they had
had about 30 students partici-

Company teaches women to defend themselves

By Dariush Shafa
rH—t krurucm mm

Erin Weed recalls looking into a jour-
nal and reading the words of her friend.
Shannon McNamara. In her journal was a
letter from McNamara to Weed with the
last line “I'm never going to
forget you."

That was a day after
when, in June 2001. a man
broke into McNamara
home. McNamara fought
against her attacker, who
murdered her. But because
she fought back. there was
enough evidence left behind
to send her killer to Illinois’
death row.

From her friend‘s exam-
ple, Weed got her own idea.

“I realized after that I
was never going to forget
her," Weed said.

Weed is now the founder
of the company Girls Fight
Back, which aims to help
women avoid being victims,
whether it be through education, self-de-
fense training or providing resources for
women to get the help they need.

Last night in front of a large crowd of

female UK students - and a few guys —
Weed told her story and taught students
some simple ways to avoid becoming a vic-
tim, and also how to defend themselves.

“I did not have this in college. my friend
who got murdered did not have this and I’d
be lying if I said I haven‘t thought. 'What
if ?"’ Weed said. “I didn't graduate college

goal is to make

believe they're
worth fighting for."

founder. Girls right am

thinking ‘I’m going to go around the world
and start this company and tour around
the country teaching girls how to open up a
can of whoopass.”

Weed was brought to campus through
the efforts of Lora Lee Winstead, a public
service and leadership senior in the Col-
lege of Agriculture. who saw
Weed speak last year.

“It helps women recog-
nize that women‘s safety on
campus and in general is im-
portant. It's important to em-
power them and motivate
them," Winstead said. “It‘s
also important to let women
know there are resources out
there."

Weed discussed ways
women can be a “bad victim"
by not making themselves an
easy target. She also dis-
cussed how women should
trust their intuition when
they feel uneasy. anxious or
fearful in situations where
danger can be present.

“I really believe intuition is the best
thing we have, men and women," she said.
“I think it's so much more successful if we
never have to fight in the first place."

When smart thinking and preparation
aren‘t enough. Weed said it’s time to take
action.

With the help of Chris Pullella, a mem-
ber of Men Against Violence And Rape At
UK and a graduate student in the Patterson
School of Diplomacy, Weed demonstrated
many different ways women can use hands,
feet, elbows and improvised weapons ~ any-

thing from a hairbrush to a book ~ to fight
off an attacker and defend themselves.

“I think the real goal is to make women
know how dangerous they can be.“ she
said. “I think many women just don't be-
lieve they’re worth fighting for."

With training. that can change. she
said.

“Along with self-defense comes confi-
dence," Weed said.

Weed. Winstead and others also encour-
aged women on campus to take part in
UK’s police-run program STARR. which
stands for Self-defense Techniques and
Risk Reduction, a program on campus for
women only, which costs $35.

UK Police Crime Prevention Officer
Alan Saylor has taught women’s self de-
fense for more than 10 years and also spoke
before the crowd. encouraging them to
learn self defense.

“This is what I do,“ Saylor said. “If I

UK forum
reflects on
diversity

By Blair Thomas
M mimcxv KERNEL

As the Cultural Diversity Festival came
close to yesterday, one local leader said UK
still has a lot of work to do.

Mahjabeen Rafiuddin, associate execu-
tive director of the Kentucky Conference
for Community and Justice, a state-wide
social justice group, said the university’s
commitment to diversity is moving too
slowly.

“I faced my share of racial and gender
hardships during my time at UK,"Raf1ud-
din, a UK alumna, said. “I am a Southeast
Asian Muslim woman and the faculty and
my peers were not quick to accept my dif-
ferent cultural beliefs.”

Rafiuddin spoke yesterday during “Re~
flections on Diversity," a forum in the Cen-
ter Theatre of the Student Center. The
event was organized by the committee for
the Cultural Diversity Festival.

Rafiuddin also blamed the Lexington
community for the “narrow views" of UK
students and administrators.

Lexington Mayor Teresa Isaac also
gave her message for UK.

UK, do not see this as an attack, but as
an opportunity for change," Isaac said.
“The greatest threat to any of us is the ab-
sence of criticism."

Isaac said this festival is a necessary
opportunity for everyone in the communi-
ty to celebrate both their differences and
their similarities.

“We are fortunate as a community and
as a part of this educational program to
have so many different groups and reli-
gions to learn from. UK has students at-
tending from 100 countries and we have a
lot to learn from each other," Isaac said.

Dining Services
hears campus
complaints

By Erin Lautner
THE KENTUCKY mm

An overhaul of UK's Dining Services
and their facilities is a project that needs
to be addressed. but getting sufficient
funding is proving to be a problem. offi»
cials said.

Renovation was the hot topic on the
table at last night's open forum held in the
Commons Market. Dining Services admin-
istrators met with students to discuss the
current problems facing
dining and how students
think these problems can
be alleviated.

However. officials
stressed that money need-
ed for renovations is hard
to get. A project that
would have cost $1 mil-
lion two years ago now
costs about $1.4 million.

“Everyone is putting
the squeeze on every- -
where." said Dewitt King, COOkinq
assistant director of Din- ' '-
ing Services. “In Frank- WIth app“
fort, because we only ances that
need a few million dol-
lars, we get shoved to the are over
bottom. Dining Services
is not a priority" 40 years

old."

 

 

 

 

The only revenue Din-
ing Services currently re-
ceives is from student
fees and that alone will
not cover the costs. even
with this year's increases
and changes to the meal
plans.

In addition, many stu-
dents feel that with the new meal plans
costing more, students should be getting
more for their money. Renovations are a
part of that.

“We are cooking with appliances that
are over 40 years old," said Jeff DeMoss,
executive director of Dining Services.

Changes to facility hours and addition-
al meal plan options are a couple of the
other improvements that dining wants to
make.

“We did research to try to find a plan

pate before 1 p. m. and expected
around 60 by the time the drive end-
ed at 3 p. m

She said she was hopeful that the
students' e-mails would make a dif-
ference to legislators especially
since the messages were sent to the

students’ home districts.

“They're going to pay more at-
tention to their voters,"
Ellingsworth said “It 5 their con
stituents that are bringing this to
their attention."

She added that much of the pow-
er of the event would come from all
the public universities' participa-
tion.

“It's not just us," Ellingsworth
said. “It’s the combined efforts of all
the campuses across the state that’s
really going to make a big impact."

She added that the same event
was held last year for the first time
and received positive responses
from the legislators.

The students involved seemed
hopeful as well.

"I think the more awareness
there is, the more action will be tak-
en," said integrated strategic com-
munication senior Jamie Kovats.

Rodney Vallejo, a psychology ju-
nior, said the effort by 80 yesterday
was good and that it was “getting
our voice heard."

“Now that we’re letting them
know how we feel about some issues
they’ll actually start listening to
us,” he said.

80 is planning a trip to Frank-
fort next Wednesday to rally for stu-
dent issues such as low tuition The
rally is open to the public and 86

ish bilingual newspaper in Lexing-
ton, was the final speaker.

He commended the audience and
the community for their efforts and
progress towards cultural integra-
tion.

“Lexington and UK are more di-
verse today than ever," Cruz said.
"We can walk across the street and
get a burrito as big as your head. We
can go downtown and have an Irish
beer. They sound like small things.
but even the presence of diverse

businesses let us know that as a
community we are integrating."

Cruz said small steps like these
help us to interact across cultural
lines everyday and move towards at-
tracting more minorities into UK 5
educational community.

“Our problem is not with diversi-
ty. We are all diverse," Cruz said
“The issue is integrating cultures
together without alienating any-
one."

The message of the guest speak-
ers was heard by an audience of 32
people —- smaller than organizers
had expected.

“The low turnout today was dis-
appointing," said Theresa Tuwor,
education doctoral student and
member of organizing committee.
“Next year we will try other ways to

reach students and get them in-
volved in the cause. Events like this
help prepare students for roles as
citizens who are interdependent.”

Engineering junior Daniel Shaw
was in the audience and said he did-
n’t agree with some of what the
speakers had to say about the
school.

“I don’t think the problem is as
much with the students as they were
suggesting,” Shaw said. “More and
more, I see our generation ignoring
our differences and learning how
much we need each other to make a
difference.”

Shaw said the low turnout at the
program was not a significant reflec-
tion of the lack of interest from the
student body.

“Not coming today does not

mean that people aren’t interested
in being more diverse and more
open-minded." Shaw said. “Listen-
ing to community members speak
does not make people more tolerant.
It is something everyone has to do
on their own.“

Isaac agreed that cultural accep-
tance does not happen overnight
and cannot be forced on people.

“Government can not force an
open mind on people,” Isaac said.
“There is no legislation designed to
do that. Every person has to do it on
their own. every day. But festivals
like this, celebrating diversity and
the beauty of other cultures and
other people, help us to see the value
of acceptance."

that fit a particular
lifestyle,” said Jonah
Brown, a political science
senior and student member
of the Dining Services com-
mittee. “We couldn‘t come
up with one plan because it
left out a lot of different
types of students. The best
thing we could do was to
provide options.”

DeMoss said they want
to add Flex Dollars to the
minimum meal plan that

can be used at places like
Chick-fiI-A. Increasing ex‘
pansion of the PLUS Ac-
count should be another pri-
ority for dining services,
though not as important as
renovations, Brown said.

UK currently has the
fifth least expensive meal
plan out of all 12 Southeast-
ern Conference schools and
is one of only two that allow
students to upgrade their
plan at any time during the
semester. UK is also among
the least expensive when
compared to its 19 national
benchmark universities.

In the future. DeMoss
said that Dining Services
hopes to add more options
for off-campus students and

make the information more
readily available to them.

DeMoss and King both
hope that by adding menu
options and a new restau-
rant-like feel to campus fa-
cilities, students will prefer
to eat on campus and feel
like they are getting their
money’s worth.

“We want to turn Blazer
into Ovid‘s. We want to have
different facilities for differ-
ent types of menus."
DeMoss said.

That momentum is very

ment safer for women.

“It’s imperative,” Ed-

it’s going to make a differ-
ence is if enough people do
something."

In the meantime Weed
continues to talk and teach
because she feels it's what
she should be doing to honor
her friend and survive the fu-
ture.

“I've recovered through

approach to the genre, how-
ever, "Ultraviolet" is built on
the idea that a genetic dis-
ease has mutated humans
into ridiculous ninjas. I
guess it sounds kinda lame
when articulated like that,
but you really can't take
movies like this too seriously.
Opens Friday at Regal,
Woodhill and Lexington
Green.

There's been an unanswered,
indeed unasked, question in
the movie world for the last
few days: Where has Bruce
Willis been? 1 posit a differ-
ent question: Where has
Bruce Willis's credibility
gone? But then you might
ask: He had credibility? All
right. enough questions. "16
Blocks" follows New York
detective lack Mosley, played
by Willis. as he escorts a
criminal, portrayed by the

one and only Mos Def, from
the precinct to the courthouse
16 blocks away.
Unfortunately, one of
Mosley's former partners has
a vested interested in stop-
ping that Sunday drive.
Opens Friday at Regal.
Woodhill and Lexington

"Aquamarine" is likely to be
an Oscar contender next year
with its dynamic characters
and unfathomably original
plot. Really. Two 13-year-old
girls. Claire and Hailey (What
cute names!) discover a mer-
maid living in a swimming
pool and soon their lives are
turned into an adventure of a
lifetime on the eve of the end
of their summer vacation
and, indeed, their time
together. lsn't M. Night
Shyamalan already doing this
movie, only minus the 13-
year-old girls? This film's
release date has actually
been on schedule for the last
2,000 years by another more
esoteric title; you might
remember it as the first seal
heralding the dawn of
Apocalypse. I'm out of jokes.
Opens Friday at Regal and
Woodhill.

ON DVD

1 always said lane Austen
novels were highly overrated;
so was this film. Mr. Darcy
needs to quit being such an
utter ninny. Yeah, 1 said it.
Critics will always note that
the book was better, but this
film's got one thing the flag-
ship of mediocre, pretentious
literature didn't: Keira
Knightley.

The Man in Black brought the
rock right up until he died.
Following the sordid tale of
lohnny Cash and his lady
lune Carter Cash during the
formative years of his career
in Memphis, "Walk The Line"
has opened the door to
Oscars for both Ioaquin
Phoenix and Reese
Witherspoon. That means it
must be good. right?
