They knew.

Huddling from howling winds
in their hunting camper behind a
Florida Wal-Mart. 180 miles east of
their Gulf Coast home. Jake Mla-
dinich III and his two sons knew

And 160 miles northwest of the
same small, historic Mississippi
town. watching Hurricane Katrina
rip through the coast on TV. Larry
and Lynn Hughes knew.

They could virtually see the 30
foot-high surge of water invading
their homes. bursting through
windows and doors. tossing their
possessions around in a sick spin-
cycle. They could hear trees snap-
ping and debris crashing into
their prized hunting trophies.
their pianos. their photo albums.
They could smell the putrid odor
of thick Mississippi mud and raw
sewage caking every memory in a
rude and unwarranted violation of
their private lives.

Their homes -.. and all the
houses on their small street called
Bayou Drive m were gone. They
were sure of it. And it hurt.

“We knew ‘Oh man. this thing
has turned and has just obliterat-

ed (us),' " Mladinich said.

“I knew what I was coming
(back) for." Larry Hughes said.

Almost seven weeks later.
about 60 University of Kentucky
students thought they knew too.

As the members of UK‘s chap
ter of Campus Crusade for Christ
boarded a charter bus two weeks
ago to drive about 750 miles to
Pass Christian, they recalled the
many photos and newscasts they‘d
seen from the area. They thought
they were traveling to Pass Christ-
ian to help some families continue
cleaning up after Katrina, only for
a short weekend.

But these volunteers didn't
know that the residents of Bayou
Drive would actually help them.
too -- in more ways than anyone
involved could realize.

THE SMALL BUS FILLED
with UK students turned left onto
Bayou Drive and came to a stop at
the front steps of Larry and Lynn
Hughes' residence. a dust cloud
trailing behind it.

Well, technically, they‘re the
front steps. And. technically. the
hurricane turned the Hughes

house almost 100 degrees clock-
wise, so that the front door was ac-
tually nowhere near the over-
turned concrete stairs.

“Smells good. don’t it?" the
wiry 64-yearsold Larry said. grin-
ning. The students' surgical masks
only somewhat disguised their ut-

emanating from the roadside
heaps of people’s ruined lives.

And if the smells weren't sick-
ening enough. the sights inside the
house certainly were.

Study: Binge drinking, sexual assaults miX too often

By Mallory Moore
"it miucuv mm

Heavy drinking and sex-
ual assaults are more likely
to go hand in hand. accord-
ing to a recent study.

According to a study at
Indiana State University. 40
percent of male students
play drinking games to take
sexual advantage of their
opponents. Another 30 per-
cent play because they‘re
trying to get their opponent
drunk enough to have sex.
and 20 percent said they as
saulted an opponent after a
drinking game.

Binge drinking. which is
defined as four or more
drinks in one sitting for
women and five or more
drinks for men. occurs when

versity of Illinois at Chicago.
Fish is also a writer for the
Chronicle of Higher Educa-
tion. Fish is also known for
his challenging questions and
controversial lectures on the
liberal arts.

That's why he was invited.

“He has written some very
insightful articles. some hi-
larious. some talk about being
part of the faculty and some
talk about the faculty and ad-
ministration." said Steven

Hoch. dean of the College of

Arts and Sciences. “He is re-
ally one of the great academi-
cians of our time. and he will
be raising some very provoca-
tive questions about what the
liberal arts do."

Part of the Fish article.
“First. Kill All the Adminis»
trators." reads. “What do we
need administrators for any-
way? They don't do anything
except get in the way of the
business of teaching by build-
ing ever more Byzantine

problem at UK. according to
Meg Quarles. a student af-
fairs officer for the UK's Al-
cohol Health Education Pro-
gram. Quarles cited a statis-
tic that 49 percent of UK stu-
dents admitted to binge
drinking in the last two
weeks.

Perhaps more disturbing
is that UK is not alone in
these numbers. she said.

“That‘s right on the na-
tional average (of all univer-
sities for binge drinking)."
Quarles said. “We’re right
there with all of the other
four-year universities."

Students may have vary-
ing reasons for binge drink—
ing and some believe nefari-
ous motives aren't involved.

political science senior Tay-
lor Sawyer. “There's no valid
answer. Everybody drinks
for different reasons."

Pharmacy junior Megan
Chase participates in drink-
ing games. but said she is
cautious about how much
she drinks. She plays with
people she knows well, and
often members of the same
sex.

“If you don‘t know how
to control yourself. then it's
a problem." she said.

Quarles said she blames
the media in part for influ-
encing this college behavior.
She also said the term binge
drinking is moving toward
“dangerous" drinking.

Binge drinking can
cause problems such as
hangovers. run-ins with au-

thorities and bad grades due
to not going to class. Quarles
said. Focusing on negative
consequences will hopefully
open students' eyes to the se-
rious nature of this prob-
lem, she said.

Acting UK Police Chief
Kevin Franklin said respon-
sible, low-risk drinking can
prevent many negative con-
sequences. Students believe
they are “10 feet tall and bu]-
let-proof," he said. and that
attitude leads them to par-
ticipate in high-risk behav-
iors.

“(That attitude) puts
them right there in the high-
risk category and opens
(them) up to the possibility
of assault or unwanted sex-
ual advances." Franklin
said.

Other alcohol-related ac-
cidents are just as danger-
ous. According Franklin, 29
percent of the 18-24 age
group are killed in car acci-
dents in Kentucky, and
roughly a third of those ac-
cidents are alcohol-related.

Franklin also said posi-
tive peer pressure is an ef-
fective way to stop things be
fore they escalate.

“The No. 1 (means) to
help people not do bad
things is their peers.”
Franklin said.

Several groups at UK are
spreading the word about
smart decision-making.

The student organization
the Genesis Group focuses
on student safety in the
Greek organizations by of-
fering designated drivers for

students who have been
drinking. College Alcohol
Use Students Education peer
group is another campus-
wide organization with a
goal to prevent drinking~re~
Iated harm. That group sup
ports drinking abstinence,
while also providing stu-
dents with information
about different low-risk
drinking behaviors.

Quarles said more stu-
dents should step up and
help others.

“I'd love to see more stu-
dents get on board."

Muslims invite campus to share
in celebration of holy month

By Troy Lyle
THE KENTUCKY mm

To celebrate the month of Ra-
madan, the UK Muslim Student As-
sociation is sponsoring a free dinner
today at 6 pm. in the UK Student
Center Small Ballroom.

The event. co-sponsored by the
UK’s Office for Multicultural Af-
fairs, will offer a taste of the Middle
East with such food items as Sumac
chicken. Lebanese fattoush salad
and baklava. There will also be two
speakers discussing the Islamic
faith. the spiritual aspects of Ra-
madan and the first time someone
takes part in fasting.

Roula Allouch. a third-year law
student who helped organize the
event. said the event's focus is for
non-Muslims to experience and
learn about Islam and Ramadan.
which she describes as much more
than an annual festival.

Muslims fast from sunrise to sun-

about Islam all the time. but when
they see a Muslim man or woman

Support, love and en-

last night's Mr. and Miss
Black UK pageant.

“Most contestants en-
couraged. even when people
faltered." said Chester
Grundy. director of UK's
African-American Student
Affairs office.

The Mr. and Miss Black
pageant has been an annual
event since 1968. Rosalind
Welch, a secondary educa-
tion senior and president of
UK Black Student Union.
said the event was spon-
sored by the union and
Delta Sigma Theta sorority.
The event raises canned
goods and promotes other
charity work for the com-
munity.

“A part of the formula
for success has to do with
not only feeling good."
Grundy said. “These events
go along with helping con-
tribute to a sense of com-
munity and self.“

Many students came to
support contestants in-
volved in the pageant.

“This is an opportunity
for black students at UK to
come together, unite and
help diversity on campus,"
said Dexter Estes. family
consumer science junior.

Some of the entertain-
ment for the pageant in-
cluded the UK Black Voices
Gospel Choir. led by direc-
tor Diana Mabson-Barnes.
The Black Voices per-
formed during the
pageant's intermissions.

Top vote-getter
resigns from SG

By Sean Rose
in: Kmrum KERNEL

Student Government Senator Fredy Perry k
“Fredy P.” as his name appeared on the election
ballot ~~ resigned from his position Tuesday after
missing the first three SG Senate meetings of the
year.

The SG constitution states that a senator may
be removed after three unexcused absences.

Senate President Nick Phelps met with Perry
on Tuesday to discuss his performance and his
fiiture in SC. Phelps said Perry couldn‘t come to
the meetings because he has a class each
Wednesday at the same time as SG meetings. Per-
ry could have faced impeachment for his ab-
sences, but he chose to resign his position to the
next highest vote-getter, senatorial candidate
Nick Lizzo. instead.

“He (Perry) is a very involved and busy stu-
dent, serving as manager for the women‘s basket-
ball team.“ Phelps said. “We agreed that he could
not give the full effort that the Senate needs from
its representatives.

“He resigned his position to Jeff Lizzo in a re-

Everyone in student gov-
ernment has recognized there
needs to be changes made,“
Ellingsworth said. “Hopefully,
it will prove to the university
and the board of trustees that
we‘re capable of making our
own decisions instead of being
told what to do."

Ellingsworth was referring
to the proposed governing reg-
ulation changes that UK Stu-
dent Affairs recently released.
The changes would give Pat
Terrell. UK‘s vice president of
student affairs, oversight of all
SG activities. Ellingsworth is-
sued a press release last week
calling the changes “an obvi-
ous power play to gain control"
over SG. She said she had no
new comments on the subject
but would speak against the
proposal at the next student af-
fairs committee meeting on
Nov. 2.

The Senate also swore in
four new freshman senators
and two senators at~large. one
from the UK College of Phar-
macy and the other represent-
ing Bluegrass Community and

Two senators were sworn
in to replace two others who
could no longer serve. Fredy
Perry resigned from his posi-
tion Tuesday because he could
not come to the meetings. Matt
Ray withdrew from UK be-
cause of medical reasons and
could not serve as a student
senator without being a stu-
dent. The next highest vote get-
ters. finance sophomore Nick
Lizzo and integrated strategic

spots.

Ellingsworth also said she
hopes to form a Legislative

The Dame a makeover

By Charlie Denison

THE truiucxv mm

it was just another night in
Atlanta for David Yost. The own~
er of The Dame chatted at a bar
with a Georgia Tech interior de-
sign student about ideas for a
new look that would improve the
venue's image. The girl asked.
"Why not have students at the
university work on it?"

Yost gladly took her advice.

On Tuesday night. UK stu-
dents and professors were invited
to The Dame for a special “thank
you" celebration The final pro-
jects were scattered along the
booth and by the wall. Displayed
on a stand next to the new. com-
fortable couches was the winning
project. which replaces The
Dame's current setup of booths
with couches and chairs. as well
as outdoor seating for patrons.
The second-place group's screen
idea provided an 8-foot-by-8-foot
backdrop and played a little
slideshow of Dame images from
the ‘40s and ‘50s all night.

Designing a renovation for
The Dame was a group project
that consisted of two interior de-
sign students and one architec-
ture student per project.

“This project really intro-
duced me to a different way of de-
signing." said architecture junior
Lauren Schiech. "It gave me a
more realistic approach."

Professors Terry Rothgeb.
Henri De Hahn and Lena Nai-
bach were enthused to have stu-
dents work on something real
that makes an impact on a place
familiar to UK students.

"The groups learned a lot
from each other as far as discov-
ering differences in discipline
and establishing a common
ground." Rothgeb said. “They
also did a good job creating a
space that promotes more conver-
sation and relaxation.“

“This project is a great experi-
ence to get under your belt." said
interior design senior Jonathan

ning group. “You learn a lot trye
ing to mesh with someone who
has a different design philoso-
phy."

Interior design senior
Kathryn Stewart said although
other classroom projects simu-
late the real-world. working with
The Dame added a new dimen-
sion to the experience.

“Most of the projects we do
are portrayed as real but are
made up." Stewart said. "It was
exciting to take on a project
where we have a chance to see
the result."

When Stewart arrived at the
event. she was unaware that her
group had won. She looked
around for their design and was
worried when she could not find
it around the booth by the others.
Once she realized that hers was
on a stand next to the ideas they
had sketched. she was shocked.

”I'm totally flattered." Stewart

ture.

“We still have the same mo~
tif.“ said Dame publicist Michael
Powell. “The change just helps
accentuate the class of this

place."

“We're not changing the
place." Yost said. "We're amplify-
ing it."

Yost mentioned that the new
pieces are to provide a more con-
versational feel that will be more
noticeable on slower nights or be-

Renowned drummer tours

 

a“. .w

to teach his craft

By ian Conley
m: mmcxv mun

Someone‘s going to be getting
the proverbial beat-down at The
Blue Moon tonight.

No. really.

Keith Carlock. famed drummer
who recently provided his talent for
keeping the beat on Sting‘s “Sacred
Love Tour." will be the centerpiece
of a drum clinic that will include
performances. drumming demon-
strations and product giveaways at
The Blue Moon, sponsored by Yama-
ha and Carl‘s Music Center.

Carlock comes from a tradition-
ally trained drumming background.
originally finding his talent in his
high school marching band on the
drum line.

“I practiced all the time. so
much that my parents built me a
soundproof room in the garage.“
Carlock's Web site biography says.

Carlock is emblematic of univer-
sity music studies paying off in the
big time. He studied at the Universi-
ty of North Texas for four years un-
der Ed Soph. learning and used the
Moeller technique of drumming.
This technique involves playing a
series of triplets in each hand in
one fluid. controlled motion. For
those of you who aren‘t quite sure
as to what that means. it‘s basically
playing three notes to the value of
one. So. a quarter note would have
three notes. In sum. it sounds really
gnarly.

After graduation. Carlock devel-
oped an extensive career in the mu-
sic industry. including an on-going
relationship with the touring Blues
Brothers band.

Carlock was offered the opportu-
nity to record the studio drum
track for the title track of Steely
Dan‘s seminal album “Two Against
Nature.“ You‘ll likely remember
the album. even if you‘re not the
biggest Steely Dan fan; it went on
to win four Grammys including
best album in 2001.

spiration. For the
less-than-informed.

Jodi Johnson. the office manag-
er for Carl’s Music, said door prizes
would be given out in a traditional
raffle style.

“When you come in. you get a
ticket with a number and we'll be
pulling numbers out of a hat so the
holder of that ticket will win some-
thing.“ Johnson said. “We have
Remo drum heads. drum sticks and
other accessories."

Johnson noted that the evening

something.“ Johnson said. “Keith
has been on tour with Sting and
Steely Dan. so he's obviously a great
drummer.“

WHAT'STHEDEAL? I Demystifying campus trends
Don’t get mad, get even

Did you know that. ac-
cording to recent research
statistics. 85 percent of col-
lege freshmen will not be liv-
ing with their current room-
mate come senior year?

__ Okay, maybe that stat is

3 slightly made up. but based

- on a personal perspective. it
doesn't seem like a bad as-
sumption.

I‘m willing to bet most of
you possess one of two views
on the whole roommate is-

sue: either
you've en-
joyed the
company of
your current
roommate(s)
thus far in
the school
year. or you
are about to
tear some-
one’s head
off for tak-
ing the last
bagel you
had left for breakfast this
morning.

Most freshmen have nev-
er had to live with someone
in a closed environment be-
fore. such as a dorm. unless
you had to share a bunk with
your kid brother back home.
It‘s a daunting task having a
random roommate assigned
to you. or even trying to live
with your best friend. The
things you encounter
throughout the year are very
unpredictable. Your ability to
live and share a space with
another person will not only
determine how well your liv-
ing conditions will be for the
year, but will also affect your
grades and social life. For

' you upperclassmen who may
have more than one room-
mate. this challenge becomes
more and more intense the
more residents you add to
your household.

Take it from me —— I have
had my fair share of room-
mate experiences. There are
enjoyable times. yes. but
don‘t lie to me and say you‘ve
never thought about getting
even with your roommate for

being a slob or plain annoy-
ance. Let me help get you
jump started.

The first thing that comes
to mind when thinking of
living with others is their
daily food habits. Often you
have to share a fridge. most
of the time a small one. with
everyone in the house or
dorm. We all like to go gro-
cery shopping and get our
own stock of fresh produce
and dairy products to take up
all of the room. but some-
times that doesn‘t fly. Try to
come up with a “shared vi-
sion" when deciding who
gets what for food. Not every-
one needs to buy a giant con<
tainer of pickle relish or
milk. Take turns buying
these condimentx’ perishable
products as the need for re-
placement comes.

On a meaner note. if you
have had problems with
roommates consistently eat-
ing your food. try to beat
them at their own game (all
while being smooth about it).
Try purchasing products you
know they won't want. such
as swe
