and Ohio. Sept. 13; Alaba-
ma. Oct. 4: South Carolina,

tle more effort.

Lost and found: often-sought,
hard-to-find buildings perplex

JONATHAN PALMER I srArr

One of the many lost buildings on UK's campus is the Reynolds Building
where art students perfect their craft.

By Derek Poore
mt mrucxv KERNEL

You are a UK student.
You could be a first-year 7
roving about. searching for
food. shelter and class. Or
you may be a campus-hard-
ened senior. searching for
well, food. shelter and some-
where to go instead of class.

Regardless. there are
many places on campus that
you've probably only heard of
and are only vaguely famil-
iar images sketched in your
mind. They're lost when you
need them the most: looking
for your class with five min-
utes to spare.

“Where is the Reynolds
Building?" you ask a friend.
“And what about this Erik-

son Hall?” You can see the
sign for Frazee Hall in your
head. but you can't remem~
her where you ran across it
last.

Roaming the backstreets
of UK‘s campus behind the
Taylor Education Building,
students may or may not get
to where they're going. Art
students looking for the
Reynolds Building must nav-
igate an old warehouse com-
plex in search of their class—
es.

Whether you're a fresh
man or a career collegiate
party-animal. some building
on campus are simply “lost."
Areas such as the Reynolds
Building at the end of Scott
Street and South Broadway
are on the fringe of UK's 670

 

acre campus. Reynolds is ac-
tually the Reynolds Ware~
house. a complex of build-
ings UK uses for art classes
and facilities for UK Stores.
The buildings were once to-
bacco warehouses.

The Reynolds area has
been known for security con-
cerns and no air condition-
ing. Air conditioning was in-
stalled over the summer. Kel-
ley Bozeman of UK Public
Relations said.

Others. such as Erikson
Hall which houses a cam-
pus restaurant, Block and
Barrel and Frazee Hall.
are right under students’
noses.

Continue your trek
through campus. Looking
out from the front steps of
the Funkhouser Building on
central campus. turn to your
left.

Erikson Hall is situated
to the left of Memorial Hall
- a UK campus icon. Erik-
son is home to the College of
Human and Environmental
Sciences.

Now you're back on Ad»
ministration Drive, near
Barker Hall & Buell Armory
Frazee Hall is between the
two. which is probably why
you can remember seeing the
sign. coming and going from
the Student Center, but could
never remember where it
was. The Counseling and
Testing Center and UK‘s In-
dependent Study Program is
in Frazee.

At the corner of
Maxwell and Rose Streets
stands another often over-
looked but frequently—sought
building. especially for infor-
mation technology students.

Completed in 2000. the
James F. Hardymon Building
contains the Laboratory for
Advanced Networking as
well as the offices of infor-
mation Technology.

UK's campus sprawl can
create a lot of confusion.
Campus maps are available
in countless buildings. in UK
bulletins and the class book.
and on the lnternet.

22, 2003 following a battle
with prostate cancer. He
was 82. Singletary served

lished the College of Com-
munications and Fine Arts.

lege was combined into UK
and UK sports teams were
racially integrated

Gov. Ned Breathitt died six
days after collapsing while
giving a speech at Lt‘C’s
Volunteer Appreciation
Dinner. He was 78.

increase.

The increase meant in
state undergraduate stu-
dents are paying 8:400 to
$400 more this year. while
out-of-state undergraduate
students are paying $330 to
$450 more,

Student Government
President Rachel Watts was
the lone dissenting \ote at
the meeting.

Several board members
voiced regret that state
budget cuts forced them to
lay the liability on stu—

The state legislature
cut $41 million from its
post-secondary education
budget. of which $16.7 mil-
lion was taken from UK.

More features marketed
for mobile phones

By Johnat_han Takiff
irrircin moon rnraurit

With an estimated 150 million
of us already toting a mobile
phone. you might think the US.
market was pretty well saturated.

Yet mobile phone makers and
service providers aren‘t taking "al-
ready got one" for an answer.
They're furiously upgrading their
systems (again). cooking up spiffi-
er new models and software ser-
vices that will make your mobile
almost as versatile as your com-
puter for communication. infor-
mation access and entertainment.

Today. let's push some of hot
buttons intended to hook the hold-
outs and lure current customers
to fancier phones and services.

RINGING IN YOUR EARS

These days. US. mobile phone
users are most willing to splurge
on downloaded musical ring tones.
games and "wallpaper" screen dec-
orations.

The most "outrageous fore-
casts" see download business
growing to $9.7 billion by 2007.
said Nokia software evangelist
Chris Lovejoy. "evenly divided be-
tween entertainment and produc—
tivity applications."

Priming the pump for growth.
this year's most sophisticated
phones are capable of ringing
with the actual sounds (and im-
age) of your favorite music artists
captured in MP3 form. Acquiring
these clips will get easier. too
just step up to a kiosk or enter 1
simple code on your mobile.

GOT GAME (PHONE)?

Video games are also getting
more real on the newest. higher-
powered mobiles. evolving from
flat. 2D-style graphics to 3-D ani-
mation.

Nokia is showing the way
with its second‘generation N-Gage
QD. a cool-looking and userfriend-
ly phone that doubles as a gaming
system with serious. memory.
card-loaded software.

Office DEPOT.

What you need. What you need to know.‘

Lovejoy also sees big growth
in fun stuff: daily comic strip
downloads. customized travel in-
formation (including maps) and
software to dress up and stitch to-
gether images shot with your cam-
era phone.

"We've got more than a million
software licensees for our mobile
platforms. tinkering to come up
with the next killer app." he said.

Perhaps most likely to burst
out big this year is the Multimedia
Messaging Service, which invites
creative types to communicate a
custom mix of moving images.
text and audio via the mobile.

While an industrywide stan—
dard. MMS is having the same
startup problems that Short Mes-
saging Service had communicat-
ing among different mobile ser-
vice carriers. said Lovejoy.

BETTER HARDWARE

Today's VGA-grade camera
phones capture OK images for
viewing on another phone or com-
puter screen.

But to make a hard copy, settle
for no less than the 1.3 megapixel
camera phones coming this fall
from the likes of Kyocera. LG
Electronics. Nokia and Samsung.
First out of the gate is the Au-
diovox PM-8920 for Sprint. $150 af~
ter rebates.

In South Korea. a hotbed for
mobile phone research and devel-
opment. Samsung has just an-
nounced the first 3.2 megapixel

(and 3x optical zoom!) camera'

phone for the domestic market.
Picture quality should be up to
producing sharp 8-by-10-inch
blowups.

But don't expect the device
here until U.S. mobile service
providers upgrade the data
send/receive rate of their net-
works to true "broadband" quality.

Also on export "hold" is LG
Electronics' nifty "video confer-
encing" mobile phone. which
shows both the other party (a slow
scan moving image) and your own
image in a picture-in-picture dis»

play.

Definitely on the way from
LG. though. are camera phones
that record up to a full hour of
moving video (with sound) com—
pressed in the MPEG-4 format and
stored on a tiny SD memory card.
(Today's typical mobile phone cap
tures all of 14 or 15 seconds of
video.)

BIGGER IS BETTER

Just when you thought mobile
phones couldn't get any smaller
they're growing larger.

To ease inputting of short and
multimedia messaging. new smart
phones like the Sony Ericsson
P910 and Motorola A630 have
grown large enough to accommo
date a flip-out, QWERTY—config-
ured keyboard. though the keys
are still packed tight for thumbs
only typing.

To make that text (plus down-
loaded Web pages. videos and
games) more viewable. screen
sizes are bulking up in some mod‘
els. Nokia's newly announced 7700
series smart phone boasts a 640-
by-320-pixel widescreen. signifi-
cantly larger than the 176- by- 209-
pixel display found in today s typi-
cal flip phones.

NETWORK HYPERDRIVE

Mobile phone carriers are in
system upgrade mode again,
pumping up the "through-put"
speed of their data networks so
mobiles can act like multimedia
terminals. wirelessly downloading
and streaming audio and video.

By year's end. Verizon's pack.
leading CDMA 1x EV‘DO (Evolu-
tion Data Optimized) network
technology will be available to
about 30 percent of its sub—
scribers. said chief technology of-
ficer Dick Lynch. delivering data
at 300 to 500 KBps per second. with
1 MBps peaks. That's a far cry
from the 56 KBps speed of current
mobile phones.

W-CDMA. soon to be test-man
keted by AT&T. promises speeds of
200 to 800 KBps. depending on the
