Will I stay? Glenn is appealing
Senate's decision to remove him

By Tracy Kershaw
ntws canon

Student Government Association President
Jimmy Glenn plans to appeal last Wednesday
night‘s trial, where the senate voted for his removal
from office. to the SGA Supreme Court.

Glenn said he did not receive any notice of the
trial until six hours before it.

“This process has been fraught with inade-
quate and incomplete procedures, improper trials
and inadequate methods of consideration." he said.

The Senate voted for his removal 25-4, after
finding him guilty of four charges proposed by Sen.
Zach Webb.

The charges were buying advertising and sign-
ing contracts for advertising with the Kernel without
a budget in place: failure to pay Spring 2000 Child
Care Grants; trying to remove the undergraduate
student representative from the Presidential Search
Committee; and violation of his oath of office.

Glenn refused to answer any questions during
the trial. which led many senators to change their
votes from not guilty to guilty.

Webb said that while Glenn has a right to ap-
peal the trial, he thinks the president has no basis
for his argument.

"We followed the highest moral code," Webb
said.

The senator indicated that the SGA Constitu-
tion does not make mention of due process or prop
er notice. The constitution does say anything
passed from committee to the full Senate will be on
the next Senate meetings agenda.

Glenn defended himself at the Nov. 29 Opera-
tions and Evaluations committee trial, where the
committee decided the charges should be decided
upon by the full Senate.

Webb said he did not formally tell Glenn the tri-
al would be on Wednesday because he thought
Glenn would know the constitution.

Glenn contests. saying that the trial operated
under Robert‘s Rules instead of the Constitution.
Roberts Rules. he said. requires formal notice of the
trials date and place.

“You are supposed to let them know even if you
think there is no question about it." Glenn said. “
And obviously I did not know."

I will go: Committee continues to
seek Wethington's successor

Amy Crawford
STAFF WRITER

The UK Presidential Search Committee is close
to finding a replacement for Charles Wethington.
who will step down this coming summer as the
president of UK.

Jo Etta Wicklifi‘e, the chairwoman of the Presi-
dential Search Committee. said the group is ”on
track“ to having the search completed within the
coming months.

“We‘ve had conversations with over 26 people
andl they are from all over the country." Wicklifie
sai .

The committee is expected to go into executive
session during their meeting at 11:00 am. Tuesday.
This meeting precedes the Board of Trustees meet-
ing at 1:00 pm. The reason for closing the meeting.
was stated on the committee’s web site: “The rea-
son for closing the meeting is to allow full discus-
sion and to protect the privacy interests of persons
being discussed. as authorized by KRS section 61.
801 (1) (0."

The last time UK went searching for a presi-
dent (in 19861987), the Lexington Herald-Leader
filed a lawsuit in Fayette Circuit Court. The contro
versy during that time concerned the public
agency status of the search committee. and
whether those meetings. minutes and agendas
were open to the press.

According to the timeline on the Presidential
Search web site. the people being interviewed at
this stage are ”semi-finalists,“ yet little is known
about them. The minutes from the September meet-
ing says most have requested that the committee
protect their privacy

“I've been pleased with the pool of person 's
we‘ve been talking to. " Wicklifle said. She also said
that the group is diverse both in race and gender.

“We have not talked with anyone who does not
have research and academic credentials." Wickliffe
said. “The people interested in the job have a
proven track record."

“It makes me feel good that there are these
kind of people that are willing to help us reach our
goal of becoming Top 20 by 2020." Wicklifie said. Af-
ter all, “We all want the same thing: The best per‘
son to be UK President."

I don't know: UK students are
fed up with Election 2000

By Tracy Kershaw
ktws EDITOR ‘

Most Americans look at Nov. 8 as the crowing
end of an election year.

Not so quick this time. hot shots.

A month and three days after Election Day
and just a little more than a month until inaugu-
ration. the election decision is being tossed from
court to court.

The US. Supreme Court overruled a Florida
Supreme Court decision to hand count thousands
of Florida ballots that may contain undetected
votes for president.

As discussions of dimpled chads, pregnant
chads, disenfranchised voters and absentee bal-
lots dominate the media, some UK students say
enough is enough.

“I ain‘t going to watch it no more. just let me
know who wins." said Dock Carter. jokingly. The
mechanical engineering senior said he is frustrat~
ed with the process.

“Me and my roommate. personally. do not
care. We are tired of this and we don‘t watch it ei-
ther." said Earven Flowers. a communications
freshman.

His roommate. Leonard Burress. a political
science freshman. agrees.

“It is stupid. how many times are they going
to recount Florida. just declare one and let it be."
he said. “If they are going to keep recounting
Florida. they might as well do the whole thing
over."

Al Gore‘s demands for recounts swayed Erica
Wofford's support to Bush.

“I don‘t care who the president is now, just
pick one. I was for Gore. but now I am for Bush be
cause I think Gore is acting like a little baby." the
psychology freshman said. “I just want them to
hurry up and let Bush win.“

Journalism freshman Tim Wheatley said his
support for Bush has waned as the election
drags on.

“At this point. I just wish they would end it
because I don‘t really care anymore. At first 1 real-
ly wanted Bush to win. now I don't care —~ Gore.
Bush. it is all the same to me." he said.

ing used during the seven days of

Kwanzaa. a holiday celebrated by
African Americans. The response
given is one of the seven principles
represented on its day.

The first day of the holiday
begins Dec. 26.

The holiday began in 1966. a
year after the Watts riots in Los
Angeles. and was created on the
origins of the “first harvest" cele-
brations in Africa. by Maulana Ron
Karenga. professor and chair of the
liepaitment of Black Studies at Cal-

Based on the principles of Ngu-

principles. Developed by Karenga.

of Kwanzaa. for they are used to re
inforce and enhance values

Saba. means “unity.” and repre.
sents striving and maintaining uni-

ty in the family. community. nation
and race. Kujichagulia "self-de-
termination" means defining our-
selves. naming ourselves, creating
for ourselves and speaking for our:
selves on the second day.

LTjima “collective work and
responsibility" means building and
maintaining our community togeth-
er and making our community‘s
problems our problems and to solve
them together on the third day.

lljamaa “cooperative eco—
nomics" means building and main-
taining our businesses and profit—
ing from them together and is rep-
resented on day four.

(in the fifth day, Nia “pur-
pose" is to make our vocation the
building and developing of our
community. Kuumba. on the sixth
day meaning "creativity." is to do
as much as we can in order to leave
our community more beautiful
and beneficial.

The last principle. lmani

all our heart in our people. our
parents. our teachers. our leaders

When the fasting is over

By Amanda York
{air—oEfn‘tWiEWW‘

The month of fasting will
soon be over for Mtlslinis and
another holiday will begin.

liid ul-fitr. the festival ofthe
fast breaking. will begin after
Ramadan ends on either llec. 26
or 37. depending upon the sight—
ing of the new moon.

This holiday celebrates the
fasting that goes on during Ra»
madan. said Suleiman Darrat. a
senior lecturer of lslamic
Studies.

“It is an expression of
thanks to (lod that the Muslim

could finish the fasting."
Darrat said.

Rid ulsfitr. like Ramadan.
has been celebrated by Muslims
since the time of the prophet
{\lohammed. l)arrat said.

Darrat said Muslims cele-
brate the holiday by coming to-
gether and taking part in a
stunt. formal prayer and then a
short ceremony.

Muslims continue to visit
anti socialize with their families.
friend and neighbors during Eid
ui-fitr. l)arrat said.

“Families come together
and get the chance to celebrate

together." he said.

Darrat. a lifelong Muslim.
and other Lexington Muslims
will gather at the Islamic Soci
ety of Central Kentucky on
Nicholasville Road to celebrate
the breaking of the fast.

He said the ceremony is es—
pecially nice in Lexington be»
cause of the diversity.

“Here in Lexington we have
such a diverse community." he
said. “It's a very coloiful scene."

This holiday is the smaller
of two Eids celebrated by Mus:
lims. he said. The other. Rid al-
adha. is the bigger one and is

celebrated at the end of the pil-
grimage season. also one of the
live pillars of Islam.

Ramadan. which is also a
pillar of lslani. is one of the most
important holidays to Muslims.

Darrat said completing Ra-
madan gives him a feeling of sat
isfaction because he feels as if
he has completed what he is sup»
posed to in manifesting his sub-
mission to God.

"it's a big reminder and a
kind of opportunity to rectify
your life based on the guidance
of the Koran. recited during Ra-
madan." he said.

Hanukkah

contributions
to the poor.

PIIOIO mm

By Tracy Karshaw
NEWS EDITOR

Is it Hanukkah or Chanukah? Is it one day or more?

Is there a Hanukkah tree?

We‘ve all heard Adam Sandler sing his ode to
Hanukkah or have sang about a spinning driedel in ele-
mentary school chorus. but how many besides those who
celebrate the eight-day holiday really know what it is
about?

Hanukkah is a Jewish holiday celebrated for eight
days during the winter.

It begins on the eve of the 25th day of the Hebrew
month Kislev. which is approximately December.

This year. Hanukkah begins at sundown on Dec. 21.

The Hebrew word hannukah. also written Hanukkah
or Chanukah, means dedication.

During Hanukkah. people pray special prayers. ex-
change gifts and make contributions to the poor.

The menorah. or hanukkiyah, an eight~branched
candelabrum. is probably the most recognizable symbol
of the holiday.

()ne candle is lit each evening. A special candle.
called a shamash. is used to light the others.

The two books of Maccabees in the Apocrypha tell
the story of Hanukkah. in 165 B.C.. after a three-year
struggle led by Judah Maccabee. the Jews in Judea de-
feated the Syrian tyrant Antiochus IV. according to
World Book.

They held festivities in the Temple in Jerusalem.
and dedicated it to God. hence the name Hanukkah.

When Jews cleaned the Temple of Syrian idols. they
only found one small cruse of oil with which to light
their holy lamps. according to the Talmud. written cen—
turies after the event. But. miraculously. that one cruse
provided enough oil for eight days.

Other sources offer differing explanations on why
Hanukkah lasts eight days. including a tale of a torch
light parade in the Temple.

flaw Year, a fresh start

By Erica Ross
CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The Japanese New Year.
known as Shogatsu. is the most
important and celebrated holi-
day in Japan. Shogatsu lasts
from Jan. 1 to Jan. 3. Like Amer»
icans. most Japanese do not
work during the twoday cele-
bration. instead. they stay home
with their families.

The Japanese believe that
each year is separate from the
last. and that with every new
year comes a fresh start. in ile-
cember, all of one's duties are ex
pected to be completed and
preparation for the new year be
gins. With this. comes bonenkai
parties ~ “year forgetting par
ties" where the Japanese for-
get about last year's Worries.

“I love my country's New
Year's celebration." said Ru-
miko Nakamura. a Japanese stu
dent from Tokoyo. Nakamura
will not be going home to
Tokoyo for this New Year. but
she looks forward to celebrating
in the United States.

As the new year draws clos
er. the celebrations begin. in the
linited States. we traditionally
eat blackseyed peas to bring us
good luck. in Japan. everyone
eats buckwheat noodles. called
toshikoshi sobi. to ensure pros~
perity and longevity. Besides the
traditional foods. many Japan
ese watch the Red and White
Song Festival. “Koliaku uta
gassen.” broadcast by the nation-
al teleyision station. NllK. The
program features performances
from the most popular musi-
cians of the past year.

New Year's Day in Japan is
traditional and is believed to
represent the whole ending year.
Because of this representation.
the day is expectml to be without
stress and full of happiness.
Many families visit a shrine or
temple at midnight. when the
Buddhist temples ring lllél bells
to drive away the 108 evil
thoughts in Buddhism and to
summon in the New Year, \'isi~
tors of the shrines make offer
ings. such as coins and paper
money. clap their hands to sum

mon the gods and pray. Many
visitors of the shrines buy
amulets for good luck or various
other charms to remember the
New Year.

Awaking before sunrise on
New Year's llay is considered

important. because viewing of

the first sunrise is thought of as
a good and proper start for the,
New Year. 'l‘elevision networks
broadcast the sunrise from vari-
ous places in Japan.

The children receive pre-

sents on New Year's day. most of

which are gifts of money in
small envelopes.

liike the l'.S.. the few days
following the New Year are
busy with shopping and visit
mg friends. Many people also
visit teachers of traditional cul
tiiral arts (such as martial arts)
during these days. ()tbers re-
main at home and finish out the
New Year with their families.

"My family gets together
and usually the adults gire the
children money and that is
really fun." Nakamura said.

Simplicity is the quintes-
sential ingredient for basket-
ball fashion.

Kentucky. unlike Indi-
ana. its resembling counter-
part rival based on sheer tra»
ditioii and fanhood. has con-
sistently proven to be a horse
of a different color. While the
(‘ats' vicissitude of flavor re
tlects the times. the lloosiers'
annual threads are dog-bone
basic: shapely shorts. name-
less jerseys and striped socks.

“We‘ve had a lot of them
through the years." said Bill
Keiglitley. who has been I'K's
equipment manager for the
past .‘iti seasons. “.lust recent
ly our shorts have gotten a lit
tle longer. and I'm not a big
fan of that. We're not on a lev-
el with Arkansas. though.

This matter of uniforms
is a weighty issue. of course.

Yellow Jackets come back with a 9-0 burst to
take a 27-22 lead. Tech led 52-50 at the half.
