Faculty morale an

Board of Trustees
member

By Adam Sichko
rut ktmucxr mitt

Faculty voters elected
Jeff Dembo, an oral and
maxillofacial surgery pro-
fessor. as their newest rep»
resentative to the Board of
Trustees Friday.

Dembo, who has also
served as
chairman
of the
Universi-
ty Senate
and as an
academic
ombuds-
man. gar-
nered 432
of the 716
votes cast
over the past two weeks.
Dembo will replace incum-
bent Michael Kennedy.
whose threevyear term on
the board will end in about
three months.

“I feel privileged to be
given the opportunity to
serve this university" as a
faculty trustee. Dembo
said. “All I really want to do
is make a difference to the
university and to this com-
munity of people."

Dembo said he intends
to put his four years of es»
perient t as an academic
ombudsman to use while
on the board.

"The benefit i had in
that office was the opporttr
nity to work with many
faculty members." Dembo
said. “It was an amazingly
gratifying experience to
see the level of dedication
that faculty have all across
campus and the interest in
students in their academic
work."

Kennedy said he took
the election results as they
were he failed to get
enough votes.

“Being on the board is a
hotEseat. a time-consuming.
unpaid job." said Kennedy.
who beat out law professor
Bill Fortune and graduate
school toxicology professor
Davy Jones in 2002 for his
current seat.

"I was happy to repre-
sent the faculty when they
wanted rne to. anti l'rn hap-
py to let someone else do it.
given that that's what (the
voters) want."

While on the board.
Dembo believes he must til
timately vote in the best in-
terest of UK as a whole. but
he sees his role as an edit-
cator regarding faculty is-
sues.

“Being a faculty trustee
gives me a unique vantage
point because if the board
has to make the best deci
sions. it has to be well in-
formed." Dembo said.

“In the end. it's a mat
ter of trying to be persua-
sive. trying to take a group
of educated. caring profes-
sionals who have never
been faculty or adrninistra
tors and persuade them as
to the best decision to
make."

Dembo and Kennedy in»
terpreted the vote totals dif-
ferently. Out of about 2.032
eligible faculty voters. 716
east votes.

"That‘s probably the
other part of it. kind of an
apathy thing." Kennedy
said. "One thousand, three
hundred people didn't vote
who could have.

”But i don‘t think We’ve
ever gotten over 50 per-
cent." Kennedy said. not-
ing that the medical center
went heavily for Dembo.

Dembo said the 35 per-
cent voter turnout was
“positive."

KERNELSOFTRUTH I knowing is half the battle
Deflowering or dealing: look for the shoes

Dear Kernels of Truth.

So what's the deal
with shoes hanging over
telephone wires? They‘ve
been over on Euclid and
Woodland forever.

Sincerely,

Tied up in Knots

Dear Knots,

Students walking to
class for the past few weeks
have had a reason to look
up. No, sadly, the gas prices
haven't dropped. but there.
up above the houses and
signs, is a small token of
something larger: a pair of
shoes, hanging gloriously
from the telephone wires.

Speculation abounds as
to what these shoes repre-
sent. Some say their pres-
ence celebrates students los-
ing their virginity Others
speculate that the shoes in-

 

 

dicate locations to purchase
cocaine.

Barbara Mikkelson.
writing on the popular ur-
ban legend Web site

Snopescom, offers no defini-
tive explanation. She men
tions rites of passage such
as graduation or the last day
of school as possible rea-
sons for the phenomenon.

There is even rumor of
military influence. “Mem-
bers of the military have
pointed to the practice of
pitching an old pair of army
boots over the wires when
leaving a post as a possible
origin for sneaker slinging.“
Mikkelson writes. "Accord—
ing to some, army boot
pitching is a ritual per-
formed upon completing bav
sic training."

All speculations aside.

the shoes cause major prob-
letns for electric companies.

It's no small operation
for the electric company to
remove the shoes. Dressed
in special safety gear, work»
ers put themselves in dan-
ger every time they come
close to these highvoltage
lines.

“You cannot just get a
ladder and go get them
down. [f you aren't a
trained professional, there
could be major conse-
quences.“ said Cliff
Feltham, a spokesman for
Kentucky Utilities.

Feltham could offer only
general mischief as an ex-
planation for the shoe-sling
ing phenomenon.

“We've heard all kinds of
things. that they mean dif-
ferent things depending on
where they are and what

color the shoes are,"
Feltham said. “But to us, it's
just a safety issue."

So to you recent gradu-
ates. drug addicts and newly
deflowered citizens. congrat-
ulations. Celebrate you con-
quest with a beer and a
high- five. But leave your
shoes at home.

Sincerely,
Maggie Fincel

Students from colleges across Kentucky
to honor 400th anniversary of Don Quixote

By Doug Scott

lHE KINTUCKY KERNEL

The department of His-
panic Studies will celebrate

public readings of the
Miguel de Cervantes classic.

Semana Cervantina, or
Cervantes Week. will feature
faculty and students from
UK. Asbury College. Centre
College. Georgetown (‘ollege
and ’l‘ransylvania University

The combined colleges‘
faculty and students will
read the first part of the epic
novel in its entirety over the

"It's the most translated
book in history. with the es»
ception of the Bible," said
Edward Stanton. chair of the
UK Department of Hispanic
Studies. which is organizing

and sponsoring the event.

“It's the masterpiece of
Spanish literature, and it‘s

the modern novel." Stanton
said.

Spanish majors. some of
which hail from countries
such as Venezuela, El Sal-
vador. Spain. Mexico. Cuba.
Colombia. Argentina and
Puerto Rico.

Don Quixote was first pub-
lished in 1605. The epic novel
follows the journeys of Don
Quixote. a middle-aged
Spaniard, as he travels
through Spain.

The week will begin with
a lecture in the Niles Gallery
of the Fine Arts Library
“Smile and Laughter: ()n the
Enduring Appeal of Don
Quixote" will be presented by

UK’s John Allen. a leading
Cervantes scholar. and Patri-
cia Finch of Centre College.

The lecture will be fol
lowed by a reception in the
Lexmark Public Room of the
Main Building and the com-
mencement of the public
reading of Don Quixote,
which will continue through-
out the week at Patterson Of-
fice Tower and the Student
Center

The celebration will con
tinue Tuesday with Asbury
and UK students reading
from the balcony of Inter
mezzo at Patterson Office
Tower.

town and UK students will
continue the readings from
the Free Speech Area outside
of the Student Center.

And on Thursday and Fri-
day the readings will resume

SG spending claims can’t be overlooked

Every spring it's the same: Student
Government candidates litter campus with
signs; there's an election; someone gets upset:
the losers (mostly) file claims.

Many on this Editorial Board have
watched this rigmamle transcend year after
year. and this year is no different.

As this set of appeals gets decided. we
urge that if someone is found guilty of violat-
ing election rules. be or she is held account.
able. These appeals. after all. are a good way to
show students that SC is serious about
accountability

With that said. though. frivolity doesn‘t
deserve attention. The people who have filed
claims should ask themselves if those trans-
gressions made any difference in the outcome
of the election.

Some of these claims. if true. do garner

merit. especially the ones that concern spend-
ing.
80 Presidentelect Will Nash has several
claims against him. Tommy Cunningham has
filed one against Nash for overspending.
Though Nash‘s expense remrt says he spent
$595 $5below the $600 limit Cunningham
says Nash used an 80 tax relief cettificate to
purchase materials and also did not claim the
use of a golf cart and helium for balloons.
When these are factored in. Nash overspent.
Cunningham said.

Nash has also filed claims. He said Becky
Ellingsworth‘s campaign left the cost of
address labels. campus e-mails and prerecord-
ed phone messages off their report.

Considering that keeping up funds in SC
is essential. these do raise some alarm ~ if
true. what do these say about. in particular.

the president-elect's promises of financial
accountability?

Others. though. seem to have been filed
out of pettiness. out of the need to have one
more mud fight before school lets out. People
from each of the campaigns are guilty of this.

Justin Rasner. general manager for
Ellingsworth‘s campaign. filed a claim
against Nash. saying that one or more the peo-
ple in Nash's campaign tore down
Ellingsworth‘s campaign signs prior to the
election. As Nash said after he won. “Two or
three signs doesn't equal a couple of hundred
votes."

Nash said Cunningham campaigned
within 25 feet of election polls. Cunningham
also filed a claim against Ellingsworth regard-
ing signs that were used at her candidacy
announcement .v. signs that lacked the offi-

cial SG Elections Board stamp.

Appeals are meant to ensure the integrity
of the election. They aren‘t meant to be a
game of Find the Loophole.

According to SG's constitution. the
Elections Board of Claims can deny neturn-
ing a candidate's $30 deposit. make the candi-
date pay more fees. mandate that the violator
do community service and/or disqualify
someone from the election.

If the past is any indicator of what's to
come. the reverb from the election and 80
Board of Claims known as SG Supreme Court
will soon be summoned to listen to the candi-
dates' complaints.

And if a claim merits that attention. we
hope those guilty are punished and that the
integrity of the election is upheld.

Otherwise. don’t waste the students’ time.
