he said.

The lobby

Smith has two entrances.
one facing Kirwan II and a11-
other facing the Cooperstown
Apartments. Both are card~ac~
tivated and equipped with se~

The building opens into a
large entrance foyer with
hardwood floors where the
front desk is located.

To the left of the front
desk is a large. open lounge
area where the fireplace and a
plasma television are located.
Crutcher said the area will
have lounge furniture and
can serve as a gathering place
for students. This common
area is also equipped with

wireless Internet.

Across to the lounge is a
classroom that will hold about
41) tables and chairs. The
room is Internet accessible
and eventually will be made a
smart classroom. The class-
room will offer programs tied
to living-learning communi-
ties and firstyear initiatives
such as UK 101.

UK police unveil program to warn, ti

UK Police are continuing their
campaign against jaywalking and also
looking into adding crosswalks to help
keep pedestrians safe.

Capt. Kevin Franklin is leading the
effort through the Pedestrian Aware
neas & Safety pmgram.

“(We want people to) be aware that
we have about as many people driving
on the road as we have walking on the
street. and we have to share it."
Franklin said. “We‘re trying to keep
people from getting hurt.“

Public Safety Director Ken Clevi
dence said the program will cost “a
couple thousand dollars" but that Pres
ident Lee Todd has already promised
funding.

Clevidenoe is heading a committee
to review the crosswalk situation on
campus. The committee will be flexi-
ble. bringing in local and campus ofi‘i-
cials as needed.

He also wants input from UK. and

“We :wmt input from all different
segments of the campus and we re get-
ting that." he said.

Franklin said the program so far is
going well with more than 1.1100 pam-
phlets handed out.

h‘anklin and (‘Ievidence said the
pmgmm applies to drivers. Between 10
and 15 drivers have been pulled over
and ticketed for traffic violations such
as failing to yield to pedestrians and
speeding.

“We also want drivers to become
more aware of the pedestrians." (‘levi
dence said. “It's a twoway street."

Officers have been focusing on the
university's main mnmrn. South
Limestone Street. and the past week
has been spent solely informing prides
trians by handing out pamphlets. Next
week. warning citations will be hand»

walkers unless they do something
clearly illegal and dangerous. Franklin

With AlDS art

By Nathan Thacher

THE KENTUCKY KERNEL

The South Asian tsunamis of the past months gener-
ated a media maelstrom and a subsequent outpouring of
love and support from caring individuals worldwide.

It is this same spirit that led two UK students to cre-
ate a terrifying yet inspiring art project named “The

Silent Tsunami."

which is instead an expression of the

anguish and desolation left in the wake of AIDS.
"The piece represents the connection between insane.
acute tragedy like the tsunami and a chronic. slow and

equally devastating tragedy like AIDS."
"This is the greatest hu-

niedical student Trip Sweeney.
man catastrophe of our time."

said second—year

Sweeney worked with sophomore agriculture and art

student Griffin \an'yleter to cre
ate the piece which will be fea
tured at the Gallery Soleil on
Short Street dur ing tonight s
Gallery Hop.

The eight-foot tsunami wave
was constructed out of 2.500
small wooden crosses to repre-
sent the number of people who
die of AIDS every eight hours
worldwide. The crosses were ini-
tially made by the UK Medical
School to decorate the bowl in
from of WT. Young Library on
World AIDS Day on Dec. 1.

“We chose this medium be-
cause of the lasting power of
advocacy art. It‘s meant to in-
cite people to action." Van-
Meter said. The proceeds gen:
erated by the exhibit will go to
the Touching Tiny Lives or-
phanage in Lesotho. Africa.
and Wola Nani. a non-profit
group that embraces HIV posi»
tive women in South Africa.

The focus of their ef-
forts is simply to raise aware-
ness among l'K students of
just how many different ways a
person can contribute to the
battle against the AIDS epi-
dcrnic. “(The [S has) the med-
ication. the money and the
knowledge. and yet we don't do
anything. It‘s really sad." Van-
Meter said.

\'ani‘\leter and Sweeney
said they want to make people
aware of the potential for sup-
port both from individuals and
the government. and give peo-
ple a wider perspective of just

equipped with wireless Internet.

There are two resident advisers per floor.
one on each hallway. Crutcher said the halls
are designed so the MS can monitor the whole
hall from outside their bedrooms and can be
more accessible to students. There is one RA
to every 30 students in the new halls.

The first floor of each hall also houses a
hall director in a two-bedroom. one-bath apart-
ment.

JoAnn Wilder. the current Kirwan Tower
hall director. will be the housing director in
Baldwin Hall next year. She said she likes the
new apartment layout.

“It's a little smaller. but it‘s set up more
apartment style. more apartment friendly"
she said.

The second floor is set up much like the
first floor. with dorm rooms taking the place of
the classroom and front desk area. The second
floor is unique because it offers a balcony
right off the lounge area.

The third floor also offers a unique lounge
with 17.5-f00t ceilings and a large window area
that offers both a view and a well-lit study
area.

Smith and Ingels halls will otter students
living-learning communities.

Ingels Hall will house the new economy in-
cubator community

“The focus of the new economy incubator
community is bringing together students from
the business college and engineering around a
common theme." said Jim Wims. director of
Residence Life.

.. . ,. .. $§§§ . . ..... . ...,

Smith Hall will house the Global Village.
which is currently located in Jewell Halli
Wims said the community has the same con-
cept of bringing international students togeth-
er. but, by moving to South Campus. students
will be able to stay in the dorms through the Woodland Ave
summer.

The North Hall has a fine arts living-learn-
ing community. it will have a multipurpose
room as well as a soundproofed room for stu-
dents who want to practice singing or playing
an instrument. The hall will also have a facul-
ty apartment to house visiting professors.

“1 think the living-learning communities
will be the most beneficial to students because
they have a direct emphasis." said LaFarin
Meriwether. an agricultural economics and
public service and leadership junior. who will
be an RA in Baldwin Hall next year. "Students
are around people who share their major or in-
terest so they can help each other out."

Popila dam-id

The new dorms are the first residence halls
to be built at UK since the Kirwan-Blanding
complex was opened in 1967, Crutcher said.

Although the new dorm rooms cost $1.250 a
year for students. about $850 more than the
older dorms. the new residence halls offer a Student Center
number of added benefits and amenities, ad-
ministrators said.

Crutcher said 3.000 applications have been
received so far for the 864 new beds. He said
the higher price appears not to have been a
factor

James Thomas, who will be hall director
for Smith Hall next year. said he likes the open
space and natural light in the new residence
halls.

"The new dorms open up a lot more oppor-
tunities for programming and hopefully will
get students excited about living on campus
again," he said.

a Sam Beam sucCess story

Singer- songwriter Sam Beam of Iron and Wine has garnered mainstream fame thanks, in part, to 2004's Gar-
den State soundtrack. Iron and Wine performs tonight at the Dame; Horses will be the opening act.

By Andy Kohler
Luv. KENIUCKY mm

Since Garden State‘s re-
lease last year. lron and
Wine w a.k.a. Sam Beam .
has garnered a lot of atten-
tion for his cover of the
Postal Service‘s “Such
Great Heights" that plays
near the end of the movie.

“Ben (lead singer of the
Postal Service/Death Cab
For Cutie) came up to me a
while ago and asked me to
do a cover of the song."
Beam said. “It was some-
thing fun. and I enjoyed do-
ing it."

in the past three years.
Beam has released three
full albums. two singles
and. most recently. an EP
under the guise of Iron and
Wine.

“1 try to release some-
thing every year." he said.
“kind of like bands used to
in the old days when they‘d
always release an album or
two a year."

Beam said Sub Pop. his
record label. doesn't pres-
sure him; he writes and re-
leases at such a feverish
rate because he wants to.

“1 like to try to play and
write every day." he said.
“Sometimes songs just
come to me. and other

CETERA I the poore philosophy

times, they're the result of
practice."

Beam has been writing
since 1998 and began releas-
ing music through Sub Pop
in 2002.

“I‘ve got a back catalog
of songs." he said. “I had al-
most four years in between
when I started to write and
when I started to release
material. so I've got a back-
ground of stuff to draw
from."

Each song is like a little
self-contained story. The
music and the lyrics can
make listeners feel all of
eight years old again. back
home on the farm. watching
the lightning bugs chase
away the darkness on a
summer night that hangs
heavy with the smell of
freshly cut grass.

"The lyrics come from
all over the place." Beam
said. “experiences I've had.
stories people have told me.
pure fiction.“

finififiiuuuisr

year a “Clothing-Optional
Dinner“ has attracted nud—
ists to Manhattan who want-
ed to remind everyone they
eat while they’re naked.

This monthly dinner club
was created to give nudists a
non-outdoor non-resort place
to socialize. enjoy good food
and hang their hats and
pants and underWear.

The news story quoted
one man as saying it was “ex-
citing" to be naked in a
restaurant. Well it's also “ex-
citing" to the UK parking of-
fice when another car flies by
on the back of a tow truck.

()f course. nudists are
something I don't generally
want to see in the first place.
There‘s always been a dis-
turbing trend amongst nud-
ists that to be a nudist you
have to look like Dennis
Franz from “NYPD Blue."

Now I‘m not cracking
jokes for the sole sake of tick-
ing off nudists. but I‘d like to
do a little bit of forward
thinking here. I don‘t want
nudists to come after me be-
cause. well. they can run
faster without clothing.

This nude dinner club is
“so far so good" for the Big
Apple. but how Would this
shake m Lex Vegas? Not too
well I Would imagine.

"What happens in Lexing-

ton stays in Lexington“
would likely be the new city
motto. Which. coincidentally,
was stolen by some Gatlin~
burg. Tenn. gift shops for
use on T-shirts and other
souvenirs. 1 strongly doubt
that anything happening in
Gatlinburg is going to either
have any reason to stay in
Gatlinburg or would be
worth talking about in the
first place.

But anyway. scrap the wa-
ter company debate. move
over smoking ban compa-
ny's coming for dinner. And
they‘re buck-naked.

How funny would it be to
see such a restaurant open
its doors here? And what if
the idea went beyond a day-
time restaurant? What about
a naked Starbucks?

Who would be seen in
such a fictitious nude dinner
in Lexington? Vice Mayor
Mike Scanlon and UK Presi-
dent Lee Todd —~ certainly
not. And I doubt Mayor Tere
sa Isaac or Tubby Smith
would show up either.

Of course this is probably
not going to happen in Lex-
ington anytime soon. so I‘m
going back to Keeneland! The
only naked things there are
horses.

Athens a

By um Collier
nit KENTUCKY mm

The bad thing about Ken-
tucky weather is that it‘s un-
predictable. erratic and
sometimes volatile. The
good thing? When that same
weather is being as dis-
agreeable as a medium
cheese stick the morning af-
ter a night out. the state is
within a day’s driving of
warm breezes and cool sand.

Enter the greatest of all
college traditions: the road
trip.

Athens. Ga..
place to start.

Home of the University
of Georgia. the unique enti-
ty surrounding Athens is
the fact that it‘s truly a col
lege town. Downtown is lit-
tered with students. bars
and eateries unique to the
city. The roads are just glori-
fied sidewalks after 6 pm.
because no one is — or
should be — driving down-
town after that time.

Over 50 bars populate
three square miles in down-
town Athens.

The popular bars are all
fairly new and most have
fun themes. Known as the
“big three." Chaser‘s. Fire-
house and The Ritz are all
located on Clayton Street
within a stone‘s throw of
each other.

Chaser’s had the cheap-
est drinks and an even bet-
ter happy hour. The island
theme of the bar was com-
plete with surfboards that
lined the walls.

Firehouse is directly
next to Chasers's and fea-
tures a “power hour“ from 9
pm. to 10 pm. that features

is a great

fast, fun getaway destination

dollar drinks. The decor of
choice seems to have noth-
ing to do with the name of
the bar, as there are hun-
dreds of bras hanging from
the ceiling. The dance floor
and good music is reminis-
cent of old-school Varsity
Blue.

The Ritz is a huge dance
style club. The lighting sys-
tem is amazing and the
sound system is more of the
same. The Ritz had a band
playing when I was in town.
and seemed like a great
place to watch live music.
Another room featured DJ's
spin off against each other
and dance. This bar was fur-
thest from anything in the
L-E-X.

The fratty bars. on the
other hand. bared a lot of re-
semblance to the bars at UK.
The best fratty bar was the
Boar's Head. which mir-
rored Two Keys. This bar
was eerily similar. complete
with an outdoor patio.
crowded indoor dance floor
and sometimes-strict bounc-
ers. The environment there
was mostly a Greek popula-
tion.

The more chill. laid back
bars are what set Athens
apart from Lexington. Set
amidst the crazy downtown
scene. The Village Idiot is an
older crowd in a smaller set-
ting. The music volume is
really low and if you listen
real hard. you can almost
hear the noise from the “big
three“ across the street.

The winery was also
laid-back with low music
floating through the air.
This place seemed like it
was a great place for a girl to

get a flavored martini. even
though I didn't partake.

The regional charm that
is Athens has its strong
suits in local bars. The
eateries. however. make it a
great place for a road trip.
Again. in the three-block ra-
dius in the downtown area.
there are over 50 places to
get a bite from chain restau-
rants from Outback Steak—
house to Subway. to things
you‘ve never heard of. but
will always talk about after
eating there.

The top three local eater-
ies in Athens were Barberi-
to's. Caliente Cab and Taco
Mac. All three had Mexican
food themes. Barberitos was
similar to Chipotle or Q-
doba. but the burritos were
bigger and the atmosphere
was a total college environ-
ment.

The Caliente Cab was an-
other cheap Mexican place.
Outside seating and umbrel-
las at each table was the best
part of the restaurant. An-
other unique ingredient:
you can bring your own a1-
cohol. This restaurant is
great for a boys/girls only
road trip v it has a great
hangout atmosphere.

Taco Mac. more of the
cheap Mexican food. boasts
an amazing “Wall of Beer"
with over 80 beers on tap. If
you decide to go more than a
couple times. you can join
the Passport Club and try
every beer on the menu to
get your name on a plaque.
The 45 TV screens are also a
good component of the
place.

Enjoy that road trip.

Office of African-American Student Affairs
presents the last Spotlight Jazz of the year
Sunday night with Sandip Burman in
Memorial Hall.

Sunday will be Burman's second perfor-
mance at UK. His first performance was in
2003 as a part of the multicultural pro-
gramming board for SAB.

“His performance. the last time he was
here. sold out." said Nikki Wooton. director
of Spotlight Jazz for SAB.

“He will be a nice way to end the series
since he is such a talented. crowd-pleasing
performer."

Burman is known best for his ability to
play the tabla. which is similar to a drum.

His sounds and rhythms are fast with
precision. His performances are full of
spontaneous innovations and tonal purity:
It includes both common and rare rhythms.

“His music is unique in sound because
he incorporates Indian music with jazz."
Wooton said. “We try to bring a diverse col—
lection of events that appeal to all students
on campus.“

Burman is a native of India and discov-
ered his talent at the age of six when one of
India‘s tabla maestros accepted him as a
student.

“Burman is not your typical jazz
artist.“ said Megan Powell, director of
quality control for SAB. “His remarkable
sound and ability is appealing to many au-
diences. and he has performed with many
known names from the music industry.

“His performance is an experience
everyone should have."

Burman has recently toured with Bela
Fleck and is one of the guest artists on the
Flecktone's latest. Grammy-winning album
Outbound.

The Spotlight Jazz Series will continue

It was the bottom of the
sixth inning. the Cats had
runners on first and third — --
all tied up at 2-2 with
Louisville.

After trailing 20 the previ-
ous inning. the stage was set
for UK to take its first lead of
the game.

With one out and two runs
already in. UofL pitcher
Catherine Bishop threw the
softball in the dirt. allowing
UK junior pitcher Meghan
Cooper to slide home for the
game-winning run.

The wild pitch clinched
the Cats‘ 3-2 win over the Car-
dinals yesterday at the UK
Softball Complex.

Although freshman pitch-
er Samantha Allen (11-13) was
given the start. Cooper
pitched the first two innings.
giving up three hits for no
runs.

In the top of the third. ju-
nior pitcher Amy Kendall re-
lieved Cooper. who was
moved to first base. Kendall
pitched three innings giving
up four hits and two earned
runs. Allen came in at the top
of the sixth to help her cause
and pitched the last two in-
nings, allowing two hits and
recording one strike out.

“I wasn‘t getting the ball
down.“ Cooper said of her
early troubles pitching.
“(They) are a good hitting
team. and if you don‘t get the
ball down. they're going to get
hits. but we played good (de~
fense) today"

Defense was the name of
the game for both teams. The
Cats and Cards kept the score-
board blank until the top of
the fifth. when the Cards took
a 20 lead on an RBI single by

short stop Courtney Moore.
and an RBI double by first
baseman Lacy Wood.

But the Cats (19-32) found
an answer for the Cards (26-
13) in the bottom of the sixth.

Sophomore second base
man Amber Janneck
smashed a two-run homerun
over the left field fence -, her
seventh of the season ~ to tie
the game. The one-out homer
just barely cleared the fence

“1 was thinking. ‘Please
don't catch it,” Janneck said.
“1 just try to hit the ball and
put it in play. and if it goes
over the fence. that‘s an added
bonus.“

The Cats took the lead two
batters later on Bishop‘s sec
ond wild pitch of the game.
The Cats savored their victo-
ry of their instate rival.

“It was awesome." Cooper
said. “(They) are always a
team we want to beat. so it

feels good."

UK will take a the next
week off. resuming confer-
ence play against Arkansas
April 23 in Fayetteville. Ark.

“They get the weekend
off." said head coach Eileen
Schmidt. “We've been going
hard. We've had good days.
and bad days.

"But we‘re tired. and I‘m
sure they all need to catch up
with (their) class work."

With nine Southeastern
Conference contests left. the
Cats are only three league
wins away from clenching a
birth in next month‘s SEC
tournament.

“It all starts with
Arkansas.“ Schmidt said.
“They're in the same boat we
are. and hopefully a weekend
off will get us refocused and
reenergized."
