CELEBRATING 35 YEARS OF INDEPENDENCE

 

SG creates new fund for special projects

By Blair Thomas
news@kykernel.com

The 2006-07 Student Gov-
ernment budget once again
topped the 50 meeting agenda
when the Appropriations and
Revenue Committee met last
night.

Despite the discovery that
$10000 less was carried over
from last year‘s budget than
originally thought, 50 President
Jonah Brown said he will go
forward with the new additions
to the budget.

“I will not make any
changes to the salaries set forth
by the provisional budget."
Brown said. “I will require ex-
ecutives to serve a scheduled
number of hours per week to
earn their salaries, and their in-
come will be split and stiffened
per semester. They will get the
money that they earn."

Brown did not discuss the
office renovations reserving
$13,500 of the Executive
Branch Operations Budget.

“I think it is important that
tonight we focus on the major

changes made from the provi-
sional budget,“ Brown said.

New additions include the
development of the Senate Spe-
cial Projects.

The fund is an account that
will allow 56 senators to fund
projects that are not backed by
any other organization.

“This is an important service
for us to fund because it encour-
ages senator outreach on cam~
pus and gives them the funding
to make their efforts possible."
A & R Chairman Jess Parrish
said.

Pending the approval of the
full Senate next week, the
$20,000 allotted for this fund
will be moved under the juris~
diction of A & R to assure that
the proper steps are taken in dis-
tn'buting the money.

“We can’t just go around of-
fering thousands of dollars to
anyone who asks for it." said
Sen. Justin Rasner. a second-
year medical student. “There has
to be a set way. some paperwork
or something. to go about han-
dling this money."

Plans for the use of this fund

are underway.

“A few senators and myself
are really in support of working
on a project to spread the aware—
ness about students with disabil-
ities on this campus." said Sen.
Tegan Alexander. a journalism
senior.

"l want to have a group of
us. and include some members
of the faculty. get together and
restrict ourselves to crutches or
wheelchairs for the day to see
how accessible our campus is
for the handicapped." she said.

50 plans to help disabled

students on campus by giving
$l0.000 to Disabled Services
from its campus services funds.
The money will help provide
proper equipment to handi-
capped students at UK.

“This is money that last
year's Student Government
promised various disabled orga-
nizations and never followed
through with." Brown said.
“This is something that is im-
portant to me. and I want to
make sure that we follow
through this time."

 

Online votes
a maybe for
fall elections

By Shannon Mason
smason@kykernel.corn

The Student Govemment Operations and Evalu-
ations Committee approved an amendment and an
act making online elections for the fall freshman
elections possible.

The amendment and act will be brought before
the entire Senate at next Wednesday's meeting for
approval.

Committee Chairman Sam Gaines said the
amendment to the constitution was needed because
online voting was not mentioned in the current con-
stitution.

“This is just to get it ironed out and the details
put forth." Gaines said.

The proposed amendment would make four ma-
jor changes to the SG Constitution. said Tom Rauf.
senator from the College of Law.

The amendment proposes allowing the fresh—
man elections to take place between the seventh and
tenth weeks of the fall semester. rather than the
sixth and tenth weeks.

Committee members argued that elections dur-
ing the sixth week might be too early. but postpon-
ing the earliest date any later than the seventh week
would not give SG enough time to change election
dates if it was needed.

The amendment also removes references to
Lexington Community College. since UK is no
longer affiliated with what is now Bluegrass Corn-
munity and Technical College.

“Those changes are required." Rauf said.

The proposed amendment also suggests that ref—
erences to the “chainiian‘~ be changed to the more
gender-neutral temi “chairpersorr'

Students register
to vote locally

By Katie Saltz

nemmernelcom

This year‘s Lexington mayoral election was in
the air yesterday during a voter registration drive
held by Kentuckians for the Commonwealth.

Volunteer and KFTC member Joe Gallenstein
said they had a positive response from the students.

“Within two and half hours we had over 50 sign
up." Gallenstein reported.

The KFTC is an activist organization designed
to empower individuals in local govemment.

The chapter of KFTC that was on campus yes~
terday focuses mainly on local causes. such as sup-
porting a living wage. campaign finance reform and
the public transit system.

But their presence on campus yesterday was for
one reason only to get students to vote.

“It‘s not about getting people to vote for a par—
ticular candidate. but getting people to vote in gen-
eral." Gallenstein said. emphasizing that the organi-
zation supports any candidate that agrees with their
beliefs.

While people seem to be aware of the issues and
sometimes even the candidates. they are not aware
of the simplicity of changing their voting address.
Gallenstein said. Though many students are regis-
tered to vote back in their hometowns. they are not
eligible to vote in Fayette County. Not being eligi-
ble to vote in Lexington results in a wasted vote. he
said.

Courtney Barlow. a senior geography major. has
been a member since last spring.

“(The KFTC) is a good example of an active or-
ganization looking out for local issues." she said.

Sarah Kestly. a freshman education major, said
it is a smart move to change her registration address.

“Students are affected by what happens in Lex-
ington." Kestly said. "They need to have a voice
here. When young people complain about issues
like the traffic problems or education. they often
overlook the fact that they have many venues to act
for a change."

As local drink celebrates its 80th,
UK professor builds a tribute

By Jennifer Graham

news@kykernel.com

Karen Lewis was daunted.

When the Ale~X—()ne Co. chose the UK ar—
chitecture instructor to design a piece to com—
memorate its 80th anniversary in July. she was
overwhelmed.

“At the beginning. my gut instinct was. ‘()h
God. I don't know what to build.‘ " Lewis said.
“(But) because I was afraid. l knew I had to do
the project. I knew it was going to stretch me
and get me to think about things I‘ve never real-
ly thought about."

Lewis submitted three designs and the coni—
pany chose a wall. If) feet wide. where she used
Ale-8—One bottles arranged to spell the brand
name. The bottles glow with fiber optics and the
lights are sound-sensitive so as the bottling fac-
tory gets louder. the colors change. Lewis de—
scribed the piece as a “giant Lite—Brite."

Once she began building the structure.
Lewis faced dozens of decisions.

“I was concemed about structural issues."
Lewis said. “Will it fall over because it is frontA

heavy"? What drill will work the best .' Should l
glue the bottles? If so. what glue should l use"

Lewis said she experienced .1 lot of doubt
and fear before starting the project. but that it
didn't stop her from enjoying the process

"While the problems were going through
my mind I was thinking. ‘This Is so cool and so
exciting? This I\ st) great. l get to design with
Ale-X bottles in a factor} 7' lt was totally awe
some.” said Lewis.

It was that same enthusiasm that made her
choose design as a profession. though her low
for architecture didn‘t develop until she was a
freshman at Wellesley College. a women‘s
school outside of Boston. Mass.

After a friend's reconiiiiendation. she took
her first architecture class at the Massachusetts
lnstitute of Technology

Architecture and design continued to grow
on Lewis throughout the semester.

“l fell in love with the problems." Lewis
said. “One night. I was designing on a sketch
pad and decided that I should go to sleep. I
looked up at the clock and saw that it was 2 am.
I felt so happy that l was doing all of that work.

Lecture brings female orgasm closer

By Carrie Knoll
features®kykernelcom

Stop blushing and get your “O"—face on. The
female orgasm is about to be demystified.

Traveling sex educators Marshall Miller and
Dorian Solot are coming to UK to present “The
Female Orgasm" in Memorial Hall tonight at 8.

The lecture. sponsored by UK Student Ac-
tivities Board. is open to all students. Miller and
Solot will discuss all issues related to female or-
gasms.

“Students are sometimes surprised that we

really do cover it all: the (Lspot. multiple or—
gasms. how to have your first orgasm and how
to help your girlfriend." Solot said. “And it‘s re-
ally funny. too."

. Miller. who majored in sexuality and society
at Brown University. said this is their most pop-
ular program.

“We‘ve presented it at colleges and universi-
ties everywhere from Florida to Maine. New
Mexico to Washington state. and dozens of oth—
er states. too." he said. '

Solot. who also trained at Brown University
as a sex educator. said the female orgasm is one

of her favorite subjects. She thought many col-
lege students would be interested in it too.

“The program was a smash hit from the very
first time we presented it. and it‘s only gotten
better since Solot said

The program will not only address the fe-
male orgasm. but also safe sex. how to say “no"
and how college students can make sexual deci-
sions that are right for them.

For the past eight years. Miller and Solot
have been teaching sex education on college
campuses.

Thursday, September 7

 

 

  

It all started at prince‘s pre-
(irammys bash in February
2005. During a jam session on—
stage in the rocker‘s L.A. man-
sion. Jessica Simpson found her-
self sitting next to singer John
Mayer. whom she had first met
earlier that night at music mogul
Clive Davis' party. “She was to—
tally tlirting with John." says a
fellow reveler.

Where was her then-hus—
band. Nick Lachey‘? According
to the partygoer. Simpson had
left him behind at Davis‘ party.
(A source says word of their
(lining later got back to Lachey
and he was furious.) That night.
says the source. "John told her
that when she wasn‘t married
anymore to give him a call.“

Now. a year and a half later.
friends of both musicians tell Us
the pair have been quietly dating
for several weeks.

But while Simpson has told
those close to her of the relation—
ship. she remains coy when
asked to spill more details.
”John is an incredibly talented
artist with huge industry re-
spect." Simpson tells Us exclu-
sively. “I am trying to keep my
private life private."

In contrast to her as-seen—
on-TV marriage. Simpson. 26.
and Mayer. 28. are keeping
things low-key. Instead of mak—
ing out at clubs like Hyde or
Tao. the couple prefer to bond
inside Mayer‘s home in the Pa—
cific Palisades area of LA.
(Mayer‘s rep tells Us. “We do
not comment on his personal
life")

"John is a geek in the best of
ways." pal John Alagia. who
produced Mayer's 2001 CD.
Room for Squares. tells Us.
“He‘s never out in the club

scene! He pretty much keeps to
his friends. He has little cook-
outs at his house. Definitely beer
and burger."A laid-back outlook
isn‘t all Mayer and Simpson
share: At presstime. both singers
were sidelined with laryngitis.

The Love Story

Though the pop siren and
bluesy. Grammy-winning
singer-songwriter are on oppo—
site ends of the musical spec-
trum. friends say the two have
long had a mutual respect for
each other. "John has been hear-
ing about how cool Jessica is for
a few years." says a pal. “And
when they met. he was surprised
at how sweet she was." From
Simpson‘s perspective. “she al-
ways thought he was a very tal—
ented musician.‘ says a source.

The friendship went to the
proverbial next level on June 6,
when Mayer and Simpson
danced to her new single. "A
Public Affair." at club Double
Seven in NYC. A few weeks lat—
er. Mayer sent a handwritten
note complimenting her track.
"She wrote back and said. ‘Glad
you liked it.” a source says.

The notes became increas-
ingly flirtatious. and soon the
pair were e—mailing. texting and
calling each other. “People had
been trying to set them up for
months. she finally gave in." a
Simpson pal tells Us. Their first
official dinner date was in late
July.

“They‘ve only gotten to-
gether a handful of times over
the last few weeks." says a
Mayer source. “But yes. they‘ve
made out." (A Simpson pal says
they have yet to consummate
the relationship.)

Jessica & John:
Hot new romance

Simpson finally fesses up to her first

we Dis" post-Nick romance:

musician John Mayer

Why They Work

So what does Simpson see
in the self-professed musical
outsider? Certainly. the 6-foot—3
Fairfield. Connecticut. native is
light years away from the 5—
foot-3 Simpson's alpha-jock ex-
husband (who stands at almost
5-foot-l()). “He‘s really into
technology and knows soft-
ware.“ Alagia tells Us about
Mayer. the son of educators. In
his 2002 single “No Such
Thing." Mayer showcased his
shy side with the lyrics. “Well. I
never lived the dreams of the
prom kings / And the drama
queens." (Simpson. of course.
was her high school's home—
coming queen.)

But never underestimate the
lure of a nerd - especially a nerd
whose biggest hit is “Your Body
Is a Wonderland." In less than
five years, Mayer‘s list of con—
quests includes Jennifer Love
Hewitt and Heidi Klum.

Touring partner Sheryl Crow
even remarked during one re—
cent concert that “John has the
cutest girls following him
around“ backstage. A friend of
Klum’s recalls Mayer‘s playful
sense of humor. “He remembers
funny anecdotes and cracks a lot
of jokes." (Indeed, Mayer tried
his hand at stand—up comedy in
LA. this summer.) “Women
love him because he‘s friendly.
confident and inquisitive about
life and people." Mayer pal Lisa
Foxx. a DJ at L.A.'s Star 98.7
FM. tells Us. "He sings pretty
romantic songs too." And Simp—
son. it seems. has given him a
new joie de vivre. “Jessica has
brought out the louder part of
him." says a source. “He likes
that."

Top 5 reasons why
the new Facebook

By Ellen Sawyer and Ellie Fairbanks

features@kykernel.com

 

5. When you get dumped, not only are you
wallowing in your own sorrow, but you're
also publicly humiliated, because everyone
can see this immediately when they log in to
their account.

4. Didn't like Facebook Notes? Thought they
were stupid because you got to see all the
pointless nonsense your friends are doing all
the time? Not now! You can find out when
your friend blew his or her nose and if they
added a new friend you don't know.

3. You can see an event that your friends are
going to — but you weren't invited to.

2. Now everyone can know that you
declined an invitation to the Help Cure
Cancer group.

1. Through the super—cool Facebook the
Vote, a) politicians can track millions of
youth voters who don't vote, and b) you get
to pretend that you support things besides
beer, sports and porn.

research and how to make one.
“Anyone and everyone is free to come.‘

' Sanders said.

Sanders and Smith feel the zine collec—
tion will serve as a tool for questioning what
a vital academic. primary source really is.
and also serve as an argument against nega-

Sanders encourages everyone to submit
their own zines to this collection.

“We would really love to have zines
from the Lexington community and UK in

With such classic and estab
lished artists releasing albums
recently _- think Tom Petty and
Bob Dylan —— many other new
releases seem to have been over-
looked.

Ray LaMontagne‘s “Till the
Sun Turns Black" is one of these
CDs. His new album. which was
released Aug. 30. is more than
just a typical singer-songwriter’s
second album ~— it shows a
singer-songwriter becoming a
modem-day star.

In 2004. LaMontagne. for-
merly a shoe salesman from
Maine. debuted with “Trouble."
which sold 250.000 copies and
created a sort of cult following.

These days. LaMontagne's
cult has grown into a steadier
group of fans. In 2005. LaMon—
tagne performed at Bonaroo.
That year. he also sold out a
show at Louisville‘s Headliners.
LaMontagne’s fan base is grow-
ing nationally. and as his music
continues to spread. albums con-
tinue to sell.

LaMontagne even has a fa-
mous fan-base that includes Sir

Elton John and Sheryl Crow.
“American Idol" winner Taylor
Hicks covered the song “Trou-
ble." and Kelly Clarkson cov-
ered his song “Shelter" at an
MTV benefit show for Hurri—
cane Katrina.

LaMontagne's music is rem-
iniscent of Bob Dylan. Cat
Stevens. Steven Stills and Van
Morrison. “Till the Sun Turns
Black" boasts strings, trumpets.
a sax. a Wurlitzer electric piano
and more.

The sounds of “Till the Sun
Turns Black" are a step up from
"Trouble." complete with soul.
rock. blues. folk and a bit of
jazz. LaMontagne voice is a
powerful whimper mixed with
soft-spoken shyness. As a song
writer. LaMontagne uses his
songs as an explanation of char—
acter. pain. joy. sorrow and love.

When LaMontagne said the
album was not merely a second
edition of “Trouble." he was
correct. If this album had come
out in the peak popularity of
l960's folk. it would have
shined like Cat Stevens. Jim
Croce and Jackson Browne.

The song “You Can Bring

Me Flowers" is straight blues.
with vocals that would impress
Greg Allinan. “Three More
Days“ is an unusually funky
song with a Wurlitzer keyboard
that drives the groove right onto
the dance floor.

“Within You." the last track
on the album. is a message on
self—reflection. The first track.

LAMONTAGNE

THE

 

“Be Here Now," has an eerie.
enchanting sound.

LaMontagne is not an artist
who falls into one genre. The
song "Three More Days" will at-
tract different listeners than “Can
I Stay" or “Be Here Now." but
each song cames an enchanting.
romantic strength that cannot just
be heard. but also felt.
