US. House candidates debate

By Obbie Todd
IHE ktiiuckv KERNEL

Three candidates for the
6th Congressional seat ad-
dressed rising tuition costs
and other issues at a debate
at the Radisson Hotel last
night.

Republican State Sen.
Tom Buford of
Nicholasvillc. (‘onstitution-
al Party candidate Stacy Ab-
ner of Berea and Libertari—
an Mark (‘yailey of Berea
were present at the debate.
Democratic incumbent Ben
Chandler did not attend.

Buford. who said tuition
was $145 a semester when he
attended UK. said he plans
to stabilize tuition rates by
improving the local econo-
my.

“The best
ahead." he said.

(iailey said tuition costs
are not the government‘s re»
sponsibility.

“Private and alternative

resources must be utilized."
he said.

Universities need to
spend their money more
wisely. Abner said. He said
there was no excuse for ath-
letic coaches to make hun-
dreds of thousands while tu-
ition continues to increase.

“Rather than paying
coaches 8300.000 a year. and
you all know who I mean.
let's give it to those who
need it the students." he
said.

Each candidate was giv-
en the opportunity to identi-
fy his most important issue.
Abner said he was con-
cerned about the erosion of
Constitutional rights. Bu-
ford said the government
needs to spend more money
on education. (‘iailey said
economic issues were key.

The candidates also ex-
pressed differing views on
the state of the economy
and tax cuts. Buford said he
would support cutting taxes

for families making between
825.000 and 880.000. He said
the tax cuts would stimulate
the economy as people
would have more money to
spend in the local economy.

“Tax cuts work." he said.
"It causes problems with the
deficit but also creates jobs.“

(‘iailey said he was skep—
tical of “trickle-down" eco
nomic policies similar to
Buford‘s.

"Big government is inef-
ficient. It doesn‘t allow the
money to trickle down." he
said. “It‘s intercepted by fat
cats."

Abner said he would
make sure states kept more
tax revenue instead of the
federal government.

The three also addressed
the growing health care
problem. ()ailey said provid-
ing health care is not the
government's responsibility.

“Health care isn't a
right. it's a scarce resource."
he said.

Abner. an emergency
medical technician. said in-
dividuals , not the govern-
ment need to take respon-
sibility for their own well
being.

“People shouldn't go out
to McDonald‘s and eat 15 Big
Macs." he said.

Buford said frivolous
malpractice lawsuits and ir—
responsible Americans were
partly to blame for the waste
of health care funds.

"Losing physicians be-
cause of malpractice suits
costs us money.“ he said.

However. he said ram-
pant health problems such
as obesity and diabetes
make health care a vital
part of society.

The student‘organized
debate was sponsored by
The Kentucky Kernel and
WRFli-I'M and was moderat
ed by Steve Ivey. the Kernel‘s
managing editor.

40$ ANGELES IIMES

BAGHDAD. Iraq _. Six
US. soldiers were reported
killed in attacks here and in
the northern city of Mosul
as anxiety mounted over a
feared wave of insurgent vio
lence during the sacred Mus-
lim month of Ramadan.
which begins later this week.

A pair of roadside bombs
in Baghdad killed four US.
soldiers and a car bomb at-
tack on a convoy in Mosul
killed two and injured five.
the military announced
Wednesday. The names of the
dead soldiers were withheld
pending family notification.
In all. 1.081 US. troops have
been killed since the U.S.~Ied
invasion in March 2003. ac-
cording to the Department of
Defense; 940 of the deaths
have occurred since Presi-
dent Bush declared an end to
major combat operations.

Fearing an upsurge in vi-
olence. US. troops and the in-
terim Iraqi government have
boosted efforts to establish
control over insurgent
strongholds before Ramadan.
Last year. the month was
marred by a series of bloody
attacks.

A combined force of 800
US. soldiers and Iraqi securi-
ty forces launched simultane-
ous raids Wednesday morn-
ing near Baqubah. about 9;)
miles northeast of the capi-
tal.

“We're expecting a bit of
an increase in activity in Ra»
madan, So we‘re just trying
to clean the area out as a pre
ventive measure." said (‘apt
Marshall Jackson.
spokesman for the Army‘s
1st Infantry Division. respon
sible for the Baqubah region

In a speech Wednesday
before the Iraqi National
Council. interim Iraqi Prime
Minister Ayad Allawi issued
an ultimatum to the town of
Fallujah. He threatened a
largescale military offensive
unless residents handed over
militant leader Abu Musab
Zarqawi. who has claimed re-
sponsibility for a series of
beheadings and has long
been suspected of operating
from the town.

“We have asked I‘allujah
residents to turn over Zar-
qawi and his group. If they
don't do it, we are ready for
major operations.“ Allawi
said.

The military and political
push for control comes as
residents are bracing for an-
other violent Ramadan _.
which will begin either Fri-
day or Saturday: depending
on when the new crescent
moon is sighted.

()ne of the centerpieces
of the Muslim calendar. Ra-
madan is typically marked
by public celebration and re-
ligious introspection. Obser-
vant Muslims abstain from
eating. drinking. smoking
and sexual relations from
dawn until sunseteach day of

the month. Many read the en-
tire Quran or attend lengthy
evening prayers at mosques.

In Iraq. Ramadan nights
are marked by lavish meals
among families at home or in
restaurants that stay open all
night. But this year. fears of
insurgent and criminal vio-
lence are creating conditions
for a de facto curfew that is
likely to leave the streets of
the capital empty after dark.

“Me and my friends every
year would gather at a video
game parlor and spend the
whole night there until dawn
prayers." said Amir Sabah. a
26-year-old carparts dealer
“This year. we can‘t stay
away from our homes long.
because of the security situa-
tion.“

In the days leading up to
Ramadan. insurgents have
shown no signs of letting up.
Islamic militants posted a
video on the Internet on
Wednesday showing the be-
heading of two Iraqis ac-
cused by their captors of be-
ing Iraqi government intelli-
gence agents. Associated
Press reported.

The two men had identi
fied themselves as Fadhel
Ibrahim and Firas Ismail
and said they were govern—
ment intelligence officers
kidnapped Sept. 28 on Haifa
Street an insurgent strong-
hold in Baghdad.

Last year. Ramadan
brought a bloody escalation
in Iraq's then less-en-
trenched insurgency; as a se-
ries of coordinated car bomb
attacks rattled Baghdad.

"We are of course aware
of the precedent from last
year and the intensification
of attacks. but we maintain
at all times the highest state
of alert." a US. embassy offi-
cial speaking on condition of
anonymity said.

This year. extra police pa-
trols will be deployed in
high-traffic public areas and
around police stations and
major religious shrines. said
Brig. Raad Yas. head of the
Baghdad police's major-
crimes division.

Members of radical Shi-
ite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr's
Mahdi Army militia contin-
ued to turn over heavy
weapons Wednesday as part
of a fledgling peace agree-
ment.

“In return we are pre-
pared to carry out our
promises by releasing prison-
ers and stopping military op
erations in Sadr City." Yas
said. “but that does require
that the other side keep its
promises."

Fallujah remains outside
government control. with
US. troops remaining on its
outskirts while launching
regular airstrikes on suspect-
ed insurgent safe houses.
Allawi‘s ultimatum to the
city came as negotiations
continued between the gov-
ernment and Fallujah repre-
sentatives.

 

    
  
  
    
  
  
  
    
   
    
   
 
    
  
  
  
   
    
  
   
   
     
    
   
 
     
  
   
    
  
  

  

 

PAS: 2 I Thursday,

AUSTIN. Texas The US. Supreme
Court’s decision to hear a challenge to a
Ten Commandments monument that
sits on the Texas Capitol groimds repre-
sents the completion of one man's re-
markable odyssey:

Plaintiff Thomas Van Orden is
homeless, lives in the woods here, car-
ries all of his possessions in a duffel
bag with a broken zipper and typically
eats every other day to save money. For
the last three years. he has pieced to-
gether his case at a borrowed desk in
the basement of a public library

Three years ago. he sued the state in
federal court. His suit contends that a
monolith inscribed with the Ten t‘otn-
mandments beginning with “l atn the
Lord thy God" violates the First
Amendment’s ban on “establishment of
religion." In 2002. a federal judge ruled
that the monument has a “valid secular
purpose." and last year the 5th US. (it‘-
cuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans
agreed. The Supreme Court accepted
Van Orden‘s appeal on Tuesday: it will
be heard in February

“This really shows that the ‘system‘
takes the ‘little people‘ seriously." said
Doug Laycock. a University of Texas
law professor. Laycock is an expert on
the Ten Commandments issue and an
acquaintance of Van ()rden‘s.

“That's going to be dwarfed by the
strong feelings about the case on both

sides." he said. “But it's important."

Attempts to reach Van Orden on
Tuesday were unsuccessful He does not
have a telephone. was not at the Texas
State Law Library desk that librarians
have ceded to his studies and has never
revealed where he sleeps l.aycock and
other acquaintances. who are in Inter-
mittent contact with him. said they also
had been unable to reach him. They
weren't sure whether he'd been informed
that he‘s headed to the Supreme Court.

Van Orden. 60. has asked Erwin
t‘hemerinsky. a prominent Duke Uni-
versity constitutional scholar. to handle
oral arguments before the Supreme
Court. Hut (‘hemerinsky said \‘an Or
den would be there with him and that it
was \'an Orden's skilled legal argument
that pushed the case to the fore.

“l have tremendous admiration for
Thomas \'an ()rden for caring enough
about this issue to bring the lawsuit.
and to decide that he wanted to pursue
it in front of the Supreme Court."
(‘hemerinsky said.

A native of Tyler and a 1969 gradu-
ate of the Southern Methodist Universi-
ty law school. Van Orden was consid-
ered a talented municipal and defense
lawyer through the 1970s and 1980s.

in Austin. he began to suffer from a psy-
chological condition a fear of liumilia»

professional interaction. Married with
tWo children. he lost touch with his fami-
ly and divorced. His career fell apart and
by the late 19905 he was homeless.

He began visiting libraries to re-
search his condition. and to teach him
self to recover. Each day. he would pass
the Ten Commandments monument
while walking to a cafeteria to get hot
water for instant coffee that he carries in
his bag. He said he began to feel that the
monument. which is in a prominent posi-
tion near the state Capitol's main en-
trance. promotes Judaism and Christian»
ity at the exclusion of other religions.

Last year Van Orden prepared for
his appearance before the Court of Ap-
peals by delivering arguments in a
classroom with University of Texas law
students sitting as a mock jury.

“He was really no different from the
lawyers who come here to do research."
said Tony Estrada. director of the state
law library.

“He didn‘t ask for help." Estrada
said. "He was pretty independent. He
could do it all himself."

In the interviews last year. Van ()r-
den said he had long had a dream that
he would sleep in the bushes the night
before appearing before the Supreme
Court.

“How about that?" he said. “Only in
America."

Pennsylvania Court Keeps Nader on being“

By Susannah Rosenblatt
W Losinours min

A Pennsylvania court struck a blow
to Ralph Nader's presidential campaign
on Wednesday. blocking him from the
ballot there due to fraudulent signa.
tures.

The campaign‘s 51.000 submitted sig»
natures included names such as “Mick-
ey Mouse" and “Fred Flintstone” ac»
cording to Commonwealth (‘ourt Presi-
dent Judge James (‘yardner (‘olins‘ 1.3»
page ruling.

Nader needed 25.697 valid names to
qualify for Pennsylvania's ballot; (‘olins
ruled that fewer than 19.000 of the cam-
paign‘s signatures were legitimate.

“1 am compelled to emphasize that
this signature-gathering process was
the most deceitful and fraudulent exer-
cise ever perpetrated upon this (‘ourt.”
Colin wrote in a ruling prodticed after
at least 11 judges in four courtrooms
pored over the signatures for about two
weeks.

 

The Nader campaign. which has
fought 21 states in court over ballot ac-
cess. dismissed the court’s decision as
“partisan."

"Obviously he doesn't care very
much for voter intent.“ said Nader
spokesman Kevin Zeese of (‘olins “This
is a partisan judge trying to undermine
a guy who has a history of credibility."

Zeese complained that the judge dis-
counted more than 7.000 signatures of
registered voters who had changed ad-
dresses or individuals who registered to
vote after they signed the petition.
which would have given the campaign
enough authorized signatures.

The campaign plans to file an appeal
Thursday to the Pennsylvania Supreme
t‘ourt. The Bush and Kerry campaigns
said the court's decision would have lit-
tle strategic impact on their battle for
Pennsylvania‘s 21 electoral votes. “Very
little will change." said Busht‘heney '04
spokesman Kevin Madden.

A Nader-less ballot will allow vot~

ers to focus on the major candidates and
avoid "any sideshow." said Tony Podes-
ta. Kerry‘s campaign manager in Penn-
sylvania.

Though Democrats nationwide have
sought to keep Nader off the ballot in
other states. fearing he would subtract
votes from Kerry. Podesta said he does-
n't think Nader “ever had that much
traction here in Pennsylvania."

Pennsylvania delayed sending out
many absentee ballots to wait for the
Nader court ruling. but some ballots in-
clude his name.

As a result. the Department of Jus-
tice sued the state this week. claiming
the state must mail corrected ballots
without Nader‘s name. and extend the
voting deadline to Nov. 17 because over-
seas voters would not have enough time
to cast ballots by Nov. 2.

State officials plan to challenge the
lawsuit. and contend they will allow vot-
ers abroad to fax ballots or mail them
overnight.

UK ready to strike back

By Chris Fisher

THE KENTUCKY KENNEL

After Sunday’s loss to
Northern Illinois University.
UK coach Ian Collins said he
felt like his team had been
punched in the face.

Collins and his team have a
chance to get off the mat this
weekend as they host Bowling
Green and Alabama A&M at
the UK Soccer Complex.

“Sunday I was not a very
happy human being." he said.
"Nobody enjoyed Sunday. I
hated to coach it. I think
everybody was really disap-
pointed. players and coaches
alike. Guys really understand
that we gave away an opportu-
nity to move forward.“

As of late. the Cats have
been through the wringer
emotionally.

Last Wednesday. the Cats
battled in a double-overtime
draw with No. 2 and defending
national champion Indiana.
only to follow that with a dis
appointing loss to NIU that
snapped their nine-game Mid-
American Conference win
streak.

The UK coach said he
couldn‘t see Sunday‘s perfor-
mance coming. but he said
he's confident his team will
bounce back.

“Our guys have trained
great." Collins said. “Some-
times when you have a bad
week of practice. you can see
things coming at you down the
pike. I couldn't see it. I thought
Sunday we were ready. We just
have to get back on the right
track. The only way we know
how to come back is to fight
back. We have to move on. and
I think everybody's responded
positively."

Sophomore forward Antho-
ny Peters said Sunday‘s game
wasn‘t a tactical problem and
feels like the (Tats are ready to
move on.

“I think everybody's shak-
en off the Northern Illinois
debacle.” Peters said. ”Obvir
ously. everybody was disap-
pointed with the way we came
out. It wasn't fair to us and the
work our coaches put in. It
wasn’t fair to our fans. But
now I think everybody has
their head on straight."

Last week, senior forward
Jamal Shteiwi said he felt like
the Cats had turned the corner
and were starting to come to-
gether as a team. Peters said
he agreed with his teammate
that Sunday was nothing more
than a hiccup.

“I definitely think that in
those three games Michi-
gan. Indiana and Buffalo , , we
started to take a step in the
right direction.“ he said. “The
Northern Illinois game was a
veer off the path. but I do
think that we‘re coming to-
gether."

After UK played a conserv~
ative. defensive style against
IU and in Sunday's disappoint-
ing loss. Collins said the Cats
will key on playing aggressive.
attacking soccer this weekend.

“We're going to open it up
and play." he said, "We are re-
ally focusing on playing attrac-
tive soccer this weekend. We
want to give the fans good soc~
cer.

Despite the recent setback.
Collins said he‘s satisfied with
where his team is at this point
in the season.

“I think we're capable of“

playing with anybody in the
country and I think we‘ve
proven that." he said. “I feel
good about where we‘re at in
practice. and I think we‘ll re»
bound well. I feel good that
we'll show up on Friday night
and have something to yell
about.“

Manuel Bowling of Lexington plays darts at The Grand last night. Located on Grand Avenue the bar includes pool tables, foosball tables and a movie-

theater experience

The Grand offers hidden alternative

Every season. Lexington seems to
sprout a new bar. but it‘s :1 question of
time as to whether they last the ne\t

In that time. the particulai bat de
pends on advertising and word of-
mouth to bring in patrons to generate
sales.

Apparently. either

bar with potential

The bar in ques-
tion is The Grand.
