Stadium renovations exceed
budget by $3.5 million

Other business: Todd will form a committee
to advise him on search for athletics director

By Emily Schwartz

VCONTRIBUthofiwitlTERM

The UK Bat (‘ats are hitting
homeruns in a newly renovat—
ed (.‘lit‘f Hagan Baseball
Stadium this season. but the
renovation costs exceeded the
$2.5 million budget. leaving UK
to pick up the tab

The Board of Trustees
voted unanimously Tuesday to
approve $3.5 million to finish
paying for the stadiuin's reno-
vations. The mi ney will come
out of the Athletics Depart
ment's Blue White Fund. The
Blue ’White Fund will be reim-

bursed after the Wildcat Foun
dation receives more donations.

UK President Lee Todd said
taking money from the Blue
White fund was "not a pre-
ferred action" but was neces-
sary because construction costs
had to be paid.

Todd said this was not an
attempt to phase out the Wild-
cat Foundation.

The foundation planned to
renovate the stadium and give
it to the university. hoping to
increase the prominence of the
baseball program.

“It (the stadium) will
improve our recruiting."

Todd said.

But Pam May. a UK trustee.
was concerned by the fact that
the university paid for the sta-
dium renovation's extra costs.

“i want to make sure the
policy that allows us to sign a
contract without ensuring
financial viability is
examined." she said.

Earlier in the
Todd also spoke
search for a new
director.

Todd announced to the
board that he was looking at
how other schools in the SEC.
such as Vanderbilt and Ole
Miss. have handled searching
for a new athletics director.

"The athletics program is
strong enough to attract strong
people. The people that are dis-

couraged aren‘t the ones we
want anyway." Todd said.

He went on to say that he
has already received more than
100 letters and e-mails from
individuals interested in be
coming the next athletics
director

Todd also announced his
plans to form a committee that
will advise him during the
search process.

He said the committee will
investigate budget expenditures
and may use other universities
as models.

Todd said he hopes to have
the process completed in the
next three to four months. but
time is not his main concern in
the investigation.

"We have to get the right

Altmaier isn't alone. What

Adam Sensibaugh. a busi-

“The prices have dropped

can afford them." he said.

Some students. like Amy

phones in lieu of their home
and dorm phones.

"(Anna and Il are getting

already uses her cell
phone extensively.

“Let's just say my

“l think they can be a big

“People have gotten so into

“Most students turn their

Bradley Monton. a philoso~

if the student is quick about
turning it off.

“If a student answers the

they turn it off. that's good." he
said. Monton has also received

“I once had my own cell

Steve Clark. a statistics

“One time. I was charting

claims. re-elected president Tim Robinson filed tour of his
own Tuesday.

()ne of them names Matthew Johnson. last year‘s chairman
of the Election Board of Supervision. and Jimmy Glenn. presi
dent of SC for 1999 and 2000. as defendants.

Robinson's first claim alleges that between .3130 am. and 7
am. March 28. Johnson destroyed a number of Robinson's cam
paign signs with the help of several members of the Phi Kappa
Psi social fraternity. of which Johnson is an alumni member

The claim also says (llenn was Hayes' campaign manager
and that Johnson was acting on their behalf

Johnson was shocked to find that he had been dragged into
this year's SG election controversy

“I can honestly say that I did not tear down signs from Still
to 7 am.“ he said.

Johnson said he has an 18-month old son. and that if he is
up at those hours. he is spending them with him.

Johnson also said he had nothing to do with this year's e1 *c‘
tion. except supporting Hayes as :i iiateriiity brother

Glenn. who is also a Phi Psi. said he too supported Hayes
only as a brother and had not been his campaign manager

"I loved SG and i enjoyed my time in ii. but I don't have
time to run a campaign now." he said

Hayes also denied the allegations. "Those people were not
involved in my campaign at all." he said.

Robinson said he has eye-witnesses for this and the other
claims. which include:

' Signs denouncing the Robinson Thompson t ainpaign were
not properly stamped by the Election Board of Supe ‘vision

- Hayes' running mate. Amy 'l‘l'ionias. campaigned
during class.

° Pizza served at the Haves-Thomas campaign announce
iiient was not documented in then expense reports.

Hayes denied any knowledge of the signs and said Tnoiiias
campaigned before class started. Regarding the pizza. he said he
has proofthat it was fraudulently ordered in hi.s name.

Robinson said the main reason he is filing these claims 15
that he thinks Hayes and his supporters broke the rules.

“I‘m looking more tor a moral victory." Robinson said.

scribing his project to bring
weekly toys to the kids in the
hospital.

“He just blew me away.
He was so eloquent and
iiiatteirotiiact." Bartlett said. “I
thought that we weren't doing
the story justice."

Bartlett decided to go back
to the hospital and do a feature
story on .larrett's toys. which
he called his .loy (‘art

When Jarrett was in a hos-
pital in Seattle. Jarrett was yis~
ited every week by volunteers
who brought the kids trinkets
to play with.

"He called them his ‘Pink
Ladies' because they wore pink
smocks.“ Bartlett said.

Later. when Jarrett was in
the [K hospital receiving a
bone marrow transplant. he re-
membered his Pink Ladies. He
noticed that lots of the kids in
the hospital didn't get a lot
of visitors. So he asked his
mother if they could start
bringing toys to the kids. The
Joy (fart a weekly event at
the Hi hospital was born.

"It's not so much about
the toys. but getting a visitor."
Bartlett said.

After spending more time

with Jarrett. Bartlett decided to
write a book about him and his
.loy (art.

The Joy ('arl. A True Story
about (1 Roy and His Toys was
published itew weeks ago. The
book de tails. Iatiett s history

“There‘s actually
.loy (‘art in Seattle. lt's called
.larrett's .loy (‘art and even
though he isn't there. the toys
all have a tag on them that say.
‘You‘ve been visited by .Iarrett.‘
He's like an unseen Santa Claus
to the kids." Bill'lll‘ll said.

In doing research for the
book. Bartlett has spent count-
less hours with Jarrett and his
family He also accompanied
.iarret on a .loy (‘art run.

“The kids spend
time looking things over. They
really try to make sure they
have made the right decision.
But Jarrett is part of the pack-
age. He has conversations with
the kids, He doesn‘t just run in
and run out of there. he spends
a few minutes with each kid. He
really does erase a lot offear for
the kids he gives real pep
talks." Bartlett said,

‘Room’ not much
to panic about

By Patrick Avery
Stilton SW! Clitlc

Claustrophobia can a be a debilitating ailment. Dark
places. elevators and alleys can cause a fearful person to go
crazy. 80 why would anyone with such a sickness want to
buy an old creaking house with a small “panic room" in the
master bedroom. Wouldn't that certainly cross the
buyer’s mind?

Panic Room. a new thriller by David Fincher starring
Jodie Foster, exhibits amazing visual style and an uncanny
ability to keep the audience on its seat. However those traits
can not be fully enjoyed because of the tedious script.

Foster stars as Meg. a claustrophobic and newly di-
vorced parent to her daughter, played exquisitely by Kristen
Stewart. The house searching ends with her deciding to a
New York brownstone on Manhattan Island. The one catch
to the place is the panic room located in Meg‘s room. .

The previous owner of the house built the room as a
sanctuary to potential burglais. Its steel door protects the 00
cupants who have access to a separate phone line. security
cameras and a first aid kit among other amenities.

Meg raises some questions about the necessity for such a
room but ultimately decides to move in.

Later in the evening. after a good cry and some. wine
(this is what all newly divorced women do in the movies).
she heads to bed and turns on the security system.

Little does she know that three crooks are planning a
heist to get lots of money from a vault in the panic room. The
three burglars. played by Forest Whitaker. Dwight Yoakam
and Jared Leto. make their way in only to find new occu-
pants -— something the burglars were not expecting.

The movie goes on to be a cat and mouse flick between
crazy money smugglers, a claustrophobic mom and her dia-
betic daughter.

The only brilliant moment of the movie occurs when
Foster attempts to escape the panic room in hopes to get a
cell phone from the outside. She narrowly evades the intrud-
ers in a silent. breathtaking moment.

Otherwise the film's only succession is with its great pert
formances, the best coming from Yoakam as a “Jack Nichol-
son gone mad" character from The Shining. Jared Leto is
comedic. an ability he lacks in every other movie he‘s per-
formed in.

David Fincher. the director. exhibits a distinct visual
style like none other. But after the same style in Fight Club.
Seven and The Game, he should try something else. Dark
light as a major style choice can get old. as well as uneasy on
the eyes after a while.
