Dy Ashlee Key
m: KENTUCKV mm

This year marks the 24th annual ban-
quet honoring the admission of Lyman T.
Johnson as the first African-American
graduate student at the University of Ken-
tucky in 1949.

“Lyman T. Johnson’s admission to UK
55 years ago was a legal landmark in the
university’s history." said event coordina-
tor Chester Grundy, who is also director
of the Office of African-American Stu-
dent Affairs.

“It marked the end of state-supported
segregation in Kentucky institutions of

higher learning."

The “Making Your Mark" banquet held
last night at the Student Center recog-
nized minority students for their achieve-
ments in leadership. scholarship and ser-
Vice.

This year's keynote speaker was
BaRhonda Dickerson. president of the UK
Black Student Union and an integrated
strategic communication senior.

She said her address at the banquet
had one central message, “it’s OK to be
black."

Dickerson said she agreed to speak at
the banquet because she had something to
say.

“The most important things in life are
knowing yourself. being yourself and
standing up for yourself even when no
one will stand up with you." she said.

Dickerson said she is familiar with the
challenges of being a minority on a col-
lege campus.

“The goal is making this campus a
place where blacks can feel at home. and
we are close to that goal." she said.

Forty-three students were presented
with various awards for their service and
leadership to the UK community.

One of the winners said he was sur-
prised by the award. Lyman T. Johnson
Award recipient Jonathan Beatty. a mar-

keting and management senior. said he
was grateful to receive the prestigious
award and a standing ovation from the au-
dience.

“I feel very honored." Beatty said. “I
feel like i am making my deceased father
very proud."

Dickerson closed her speech with a few
words of inspiration and encouragement.

“The students are the life-blood of this
university. without which there would be
no UK." she said.

“I am the reason UK is here. so i am
going to make my mark while I am here."

TRAUNSTEIN. Germany -—
Here in the foothills of the Bavari-
an Alps. Pope Benedictus XVI was
born. began to train for the priest-
hood. deserted the Nazi army and
began his university teaching ca-
reer.

This is where. as Cardinal
Joseph Ratzinger. he returned
every year to walk. rest and reflect.

The new pope is known here. as

he is in the Vatican. as a person for
whom the truth is not a matter of
debate or degrees.

But if the Vatican believes that
Pope Benedict's granite-hard faith
will cure what ails Catholicism in
Europe. where church attendance
is dwindling. seminaries are half-
empty and many parishes are hav-
ing trouble recruiting priests. the
evidence here is discouraging.

At a special Mass on Wednesday
night in St. Oswald's Cathedral.

where the pope was confirmed as a
young man. only about 150 parish-
ioners showed up to celebrate his
ascension to the leadership of the
1.1 billion-strong Catholic faith.

At a Catholic retirement home
here. most residents paid little at-
tention to the Vatican election dra-
ma Wednesday. said Josef F.

‘If I am not convinced of my

said the Rev, Thomas Frauen-

gram.

“1 should like to study in
this school. but I will not con-
tinue as a priest." said Hu-
bert Edfelder. a 14-year-old
eighth-grader enrolled at St.
Michael’s. who then ex-
plained why he would choose
a different profession. “Prob-
ably because faith is no
longer strongly taught to
young people anymore. and
there are so many profes-
sions where they have more
liberties."

Edfelder led a tour of the

how students feel about
the ban.

“We want to thank the
community for the support
of the smoke-free ordi-
nance. and we want the
students to join and cele-
brate with us in showing
its importance." Robinson
said.

“1 think we need to
show them that we are still
going to restaurants and
bars. that their business
has been helped by this. as
well as our health." she
said.

Robinson. who works
with students to help them
quit smoking. noted how

“The smoking ban is

Cardinal Ratzinger estab-

rigorous training the future
pope himself had as a boy.
"The idea of the school." said
Michael Winichner. 28. a pre-

“But His Holiness was a]»

Ratzinger has written of the

Ratzinger and his brother
returned to St. Michael‘s
every January. staying in two
secondtloor apartments
overlooking the town. The
Cardinal liked to walk the
halls. Frauenlob said. "and
then tell me afterwards
where something had
changed. He‘s very obser-
vant. Even if a picture has
been re-hung. he notices it."

Ratzinger was born in

village near Traunstein. in
1941. at the age of 11. the pie

only to be drafted into a labor
division serving in Hitler‘s
Austrian Legion which he
later described as having “fa-
natical ideologues who tyr-
annized us without respite."

BAGHDAD, Iraq On
one of the grisliest days of
the nearly 2-year-old insur-
gency Iraq's interim presi-
dent on Wednesday con-
firmed the discovery of more
than 50 slain hostages in the
Tigris River south of the cap-
ital.

In a separate discovery a
hospital official said the bod-
ies of 19 Iraqi soldiers were
found in a soccer stadium in
the western city of Haditha.
apparent victims of assassi~
nation.

Meantime. Reuters report-
ed that outgoing Prime Min-
ister Ayad Allawi escaped an
assassination attempt
Wednesday night when a sui-
cide bomber in a car attacked
his convoy near his home.
one of several loud blasts that
echoed in the capital after
dark.

Earlier in the day. at least
three car bombs struck the
city. sending up huge plumes
of smoke.

The fresh carnage and
chaos. part of an upsurge in
violence this month, came
amid indications that Iraqi
lawmakers were poised to an-
nounce a new transitional
government after almost
three months of delay

Legislators have been
squabbling about still-unfilled
Cabinet posts and other polit-
ical appointments since the
Jan. 30 elections.

Many Iraqis have voiced
fears that the ongoing leader-
ship void encouraged attacks
by insurgents bent on foment-
ing instability.

"Terrorists committed
crimes here." interim Presi-
dent Jalal Talabani said in a
televised news conference.

Talabani was referring to
the bodies of more than 50
people. believed to be victims
of sectarian hostage-taking
and killings. found in the
Tigris near the town of

    

 

Slain hostages found in Iraq

Suwayrah. about 15 miles
southeast of Baghdad.

Details of how and when
they were killed and found re
mained sketchy But Talabani
said authorities had ascer-
tained “the full names" of the
dead as well as the identities
of “those criminals who com-
mitted these crimes."

The president indicated
the victims were hostages
taken in the nearby village of
Madain, where. according to
Shiite leaders. as many as 150
Shiites were seized last week.

The dead included men.
women and children. accord-
ing to news reports from
Suwayrah.

Some bodies were mutilat-
ed and headless. police told
Iraqi journalists. Some were
found in sacks; many corpses
were discovered snared on a
wire mesh set in the river to
trap a harmful, water-borne
weed. a police officer told Al-
Arabiya television channel.

As word of the gruesome
find spread. news reports said
relatives of the missing beat
a doleful path to the provin-
cial police station of
Suwayrah to identify snap-
shots of the dead before the
bodies were placed in com-
mon graves.

“What was their guilt?"
asked a distraught elderly
woman shown on Al-Arabiya
who said she had lost three
relatives. “Each one of them
has three children. May
God curse those who did
this!“

An elderly man in Arab
garb and a black-and-white
checked headdress grasped a
family snapshot of his miss—
ing son. “I want to find him."
he declared. appearing dazed
and disoriented. “Was he
lost? Killed? I could not find
him."

A Baghdad cleric who vis-
ited the area said one father
seeking his lost son ap-
proached a diver who had
glimpsed bodies below the
surface of the river.

“How can I identify your
son's body among so many
corpses?” the diver asked the
father. according to the cleric.
Hussein Awadi.

The ghoulish find ap-
peared to confirm the recent
reports of mass hostage—tak-
ing of Shiite Muslims in
Madain, one of a number of
violence-plagued communi-
ties southeast of the capital.

The village is situated in
the Tigris River Valley, a fer-
tile agricultural belt where
the nation‘s Sunni Arab cen-
ter gives way to the vast Shi-
ite heartland stretching south
to the Persian Gulf.

The expanse of palm
groves. vegetable gardens and
sleepy villages stretching
west to the Euphrates River is
home to many hardcore Sun-
ni Arab guerrilla cells that
view Shiites as collaborators
with US. forces, officials say.

Shiite leaders had voiced
fears the hostages taken in
Madain would be slain in a
bid by insurgents to rid the
zone of rival Shiites.

The leaders asserted that
Shiites were told to evacuate
the area or face more abduc-
tions and killings.

The kidnap reports also
exposed deep sectarian fis-
sures within Iraq‘s ruling
elite: Outgoing Interior Min-
ister Falah Hassan al-Naqib.
a prominent Sunni Muslim,
labeled as ”baseless" the
hostage-taking allegations
emanating from Shiite clerics
and lawmakers.

An Iraqi army sweep
through the area in recent
days turned up no hostages.
the Defense Ministry said.

But. on Wednesday, the
nation's interim president de~
clared there was no longer
any doubt.

“It is not true to say there
were no hostages." Talabani
said in a televised news con-
ference in Baghdad. “There
were. They were killed, and
they (the killers) threw the
bodies to the Tigris."

 

Italy 3 prime minister resigns

By Daniel Williams

IHE WASHINGION POST

ROME .,, Prime Minister
Silvio Berlusconi. his gov-
ernment reeling from recent
electoral setbacks. resigned

 

on Wednesday. technically
ending the life of Italy‘s
longestlasting post-World

War [1 government.

However. Berlusconi said
he would form a new Cabinet
as soon as the country's cere-
monial president. Carlo
Azeglio Ciampi. gave him
permission. Italian commen-
tators said Ciampi was likely
to do so. because Berlusconi
is considered the only leader
capable of putting together a
government without holding
new elections.

Berlusconi told Italy‘s
Senate that his resignation
was a kind of sacrificial ges-
ture designed to breathe new
life into his teetering govern-
ment. “All the parties in the
coalition have formally re-
newed their confidence in me
as their leader and asked me
to resign." he said. “I accept
the challenge of forming a
new government."

In early April. Berlus-
coni's coalition lost 12 of 14
local elections. His populari-
ty has suffered as Italy‘s
economy has stagnated. the
rate of inflation has crept up
and unemployment has hov-
ered around 10 percent.

Berlusconi is one of Eu-
rope's staunchest backers of
the Bush administration and
the US. invasion and occupa-
tion of Iraq. His decision to
maintain 2.700 troops in Iraq
has not been popular with
Italian voters. But his sup-
port for the United States be-
came a political liability af-
ter March 4. when US. sol-
diers shot and killed an Ital-
ian intelligence agent who
was escorting a freed Italian
hostage from Baghdad to the
city‘s airport.

The freed hostage. Giu-
liana Sgrena. a journalist.
was wounded when the sol-
diers shot at the car as it
drove toward a roadblock.
US. military officials have
said that the incident was an
accident and that the slain
intelligence agent. Nicola
Calipari. had failed to coordi-
nate his moves with US. offi-

cials in Iraq. Berlusconi ap-
pealed to President Bush to
acknowledge a “tragic error."
Bush never did. though he of
fered his condolences to
Berlusconi.

Berlusconi‘s political
problems were heightened
when two minor members of
his coalition pulled out of
the Cabinet last week. They
vowed nonetheless to support
the Berlusconi government
in any vote of confidence.
Under Italy‘s constitution. a
prime minister is obliged to
step down if he makes major
cabinet changes. He will now
try to rebuild his support
through a ministerial shuffle
and by doling out patronage
in Italian state industries
and perhaps government-run
television.

Berlusconi has been in
power for four years: general
elections are scheduled for
next spring. On Thursday
and Friday. Ciampi will con-
sult with political leaders be-
fore deciding whether to give
Berlusconi a chance to recon-
stitute his Cabinet. In the
meantime. Berlusconi will
stay in office as a caretaker.

FLY on THE mu. | feelin' the buzz
Zone is a nice discovery for party people

Don't be fooled by your
first impression.

It's hard to overcome that
gut in-
stinct. but
in this
c a s e ,
you‘ll see
why ap-
pearances
can be de-
ceiving.

I
thought I

a d
walked
into a
guy's par-
adise when I first entered The
Zone one bright and sunny af-
ternoon.

The giant bar in the cen-
ter of the room is completely
surrounded with 22 televi-
sions that broadcast channels
such as ESPN and ESPNZ.

Not only was the place
oozing with athletics but to
me it looked like a sexy bache—
lor pad. only bigger so all his
handsome friends could have
room to hang out.

So picture a warehouse
converted to a stylish crib ~
lots of room. but plenty of
furniture to sit on and elec-
tronic toys to play with.

The many booths are cov-
ered in black vinyl. as are the
bar stools that surround the
main and side bars.

Everything is decorated in
dark colors. including the
concrete and tiled floor.

On the far side of the bar
are five pool tables and a foos-
ball table.

Patrons can also choose
from the vast selection of X-
Box or Playstation games and
play on any of the televisions
located throughout using
wireless controllers provided
by the owners.

However. this is not all the
place has to offer.

I might be able to label it a
sports bar. but The Zone can
also be described as a full—ser-
vice restaurant. a night club.
a VIP lounge. a meeting place
for businessmen and a place
to host a social event. such as
a bridal shower. sorority so-
cial. birthday party or even 3

General Manager Lee
Hudson gave me a tour of the
venue and explained why
there was so much available
for customers to do.

“We wanted to build a
place that was very multifac-
eted." he said.

Those who are looking for
a chic and modern place to
host a meeting have a new lo-
cation to consider: the Signa
ture Lounge.

The private lounge can be
reserved for 8200 and includes
a flat screen television with
its own independent satellite
connection. an independent
music system and furniture

feel like you‘re in the classiest
night spot in town

The room is available any
day of the week at any time
and can be catered with food
and or drinks.

The system consists of
