an e-mail I received
from one of my many
brothers. They are
supposedly real signs
that were found
across this great land
I like to
call...America. OK. so
I didn't name it that
but I'm sure someone
important did. like a
sea-going traveler
and not some dinky
mapmaker (if you
don't get this I guess
I had a better history
teacher than you).
Anyway, here is the
humorous list.

Sign over a
gynecologist's office:

“Dr. Jones, at your
cervix."

On a plumber's truck:

"We repair what your
husband fixed."

0n the trucks of a local
plumbing company in
Pennsylvania:

”Don't sleep with a drip.
Call your plumber."

Pizza shop slogan:

“Seven days without
pizza makes one
weak."

At a tire shop in
Milwaukee:

“Invite us to your next
blowout.”

Door of a plastic
surgeon's office:

"Hello. Can we pick your
nose?"

At a laundry shop:

“How about we refund
your money, send
you a new one at no
charge, close the
store and have the
manager shot. Would
that be
satisfactory?"

At a towing company:
”We don't charge an arm
and a leg. We want

tows."

In a non-smoking area:

“If we see smoke, we
will assume you are
on fire and take
appropriate action."

At an optometrist's
office:

“If you don't see what
you're looking for,
you've come to the
right place."

On a taxidermist's
window:

"We really know our
stuff."

On a fence:

"Salesmen welcome! Dog
food is expensive."

At a car dealership:

“The best way to get
back on your feet -
miss a car payment."

Outside a muffler shop:

"No appointment
necessary. We hear
you coming."

At the electric company:

"We would be delighted
if you send in your
bill. However, if you
don't, you will be."

In the front yard of a
funeral home:

“Drive carefully. We'll
wait."

mStaying ‘Young'
through giving

‘ mum

When he sold the recipe for
Mmogenized peanut butter to
Procter & Gamble in 1955,
William T. Young changed the
lives of college students every—
where.

An inventor, horse breeder,
former university chairman and
millionaire philanthropist.
Young has spent his latest years
trying to give back to the Univer—
sity that made him successful.

Young is a slight and unas
suming man, leaning forward
and smiling as he answers ques
tions. He often speaks in cliches:
“Never give up," “You can't plan
your life completely." "Don't stop
trying until you've given your
best."

At 83. Young has made UK's
William T. Young Library his
passion and his legacy. recently

announcing a book endowment of

$62 million.

“The greatest pleasure you'll
get out of life is when you give
back." he said. “I can‘t think of a
better way to use money.“

The W. T. Young library. first
built in 1998. was the result of a
fund-raising drive that began when
Young contributed $5 million of his
own money to the project.

When the library was com-
plete. Young was taken aback by
the grandeur of the building that
bore his namesake. "It was al-
most embarrassing." he chuck,

withYoung .-. =

day Operation. preferring instead

to devote his time to philan-
thropy.

“I made a proposition that if
they (the Board of Trustees) keep
the area around the library exclu-
sively for the library. I would
lead an attempt to establish an
endowment."

The board concurred, and the
land around the Young Library
will not be developed for at least
50 years. In a life marked by wise
decisions. “It's the best deal l
ever made in a lifetime.“ Young
said.

Young has always wanted to
give back to the University. but
he was hesitant to fund any of the
academic buildings or endowed
chairs. He said if he were to
spend his money on these pro-
jects. the state legislature would
simply give less. and his donation
would have very little effect on
the University.

“For years I never gave any-
thing." he said. “but when l was
approached about the library. I
saw a way to enhance the quality
of the school that wouldn‘t other-
wise be there."

The library. completed in
1998. was one of Young‘s proudest
achievements. However. he is
quick to caution. “it's not the
building: it's what's in there."

JAMES CRISP I KERNEL STAFF

Young’s ' and hebeiieves

ing UK’s goal of being “America’s

"If a university doesn’t have
a great library. they‘ll have a
hard time getting high status,” he
said. “this will
serve all li-
braries and all
people in Ken-

Though he
has 83 years of
success behind
him. Young
shows no signs
of slowing
down. “Retire-
ment is terrify»

can't lose interest in life."

His book endowment secure.
Young is now trying to get some
ofthe $600 million raised in UK's
fund-raising drive to add to the li-
brary‘s endowment.

Looking back on his contri-
butions to the University. Young
says he has no regrets.

“Money won't make you hap-

the Current Palestinianlsrael Conflict" will include five stwakers.
each with numerous ties to events in the Middle East.

Ira ('yrupper and Ibrahim Imam currently serve as the co-
chairs of the Louisville Committee for Israeli Palestinian States.
(‘yrupper is also a former national co-chair of the New .lcwish

Agenda.

Ilaniel (‘hcjfec is the executive director of the ('entral Kon-

tucky Jewish Federation.

Khalid Turaani is the executive direc-
tor of American Muslims for Jerusalem.
Turaani spent the first 17 years of his life
in a Palestinian refugee camp.

The final speaker. Daniel Rank. is a
professor of philosophy and director of .111-
daic studies at UK. Frank hopes to draw on
his own work on the subject to provide in-
sight into the historical relationship be
tween Arabs and Jews.

“One point I want to make clear is
there has been openness in the past."
Frank said.

Each panelist will make a 15-minute
presentation on their perspective of the
current struggle. Following the presenta-
tions. the audience will be given an oppor-
tunity to ask questions of the panelists.

The event is designed as a dialogue.
not a debate. said 'I‘rcvor Sanders. a histo-
ry and French senior and organizer of the
event.

The moderator for the event is Teresa
Isaac. fomier vicemayor of Lexington and
one of six Arab—American elected officials
chosen in 1996 to monitor the first Palestin-
ian elections.

The

forum

“The New Struggle
for Peace:
Perspectives on the
Current Palestinian-
lsraeli Conflict" will
be at 7 pm Monday
in the Student
Center's Worsham
Theater.

“Occupation and
Resistance: Life in
the West Bank and
Gaza" and "The
Holiness of the Holy
Land can be

place at 7 pm
Tuesday in 245
Student Center.

“It will be. controversial and provocative but also very educa-
tional." Sanders said. "I hope it will open people's minds to views
both traditional and non-traditional. both mainstream and

radical."

The groups that combined to form the coalition are the Lefi ' st
Student Union. UK chapter of Amnesty International. Phi Alt-ha
Theta (History Honor Society). Muslim Student Association. Jew-
ish Student Organization Hillel Foundation and (‘atholic New-

man Center.

The funding for the events were provided by SGA's “Take
Back Our Campus" program. The program set aside 315.000 to
give to student organizations forming coalitions for a specific
purpose. The Student Coalition for Peace in the Middle East re

ceived $4.000 from the program.

 

sities throughout the nation. I'K ranks second only
to Harvard. whose $116 million endowment makes
it a distant first place.

According to Paul Willis. director of the Young
Library. the book allotment will help UK purchase
much-needed supplies.

"Historically. we haven‘t had enough money to
get all the materials we need. This is going to real.
ly help us get our collection uptodate." he said,

When the Young Library was first built in
1998. Willis said many believed that the huge ex-
penditure would leave the library without funding
for books to fill it. Now the book endowment has
exceeded the building cost. and the library will
soon have more than enough materials to fill its
shelves.

"This is going to be great for the library."
Willis said. “I think now everyone's concerns have
been answered."

Each year. the library will be able to spend up
to five percent of the endowment. which means an
increase in the library budget of approximately $3
million annually.

Students may have access to more research
sources on campus than ever before.

UK's William 1‘. Young Library received a $62
million grant last week.

Young. the library's namesake, is not unfamil—
iar with raising money for UK. After personally do
nating $5 million for the building's construction

Toyota. Ashland and other corporate sponsors to
put the library among the top in the nation.

The recent grant includes $40 million donated
by individuals and $20 million donated by Ken-
tucky‘s “Bucks for Brains" program.

The book endowment will allow the Young Li-
brary to purchase academic journals. books and a
plethora of other research materials. The $62 mil-
lion figure puts UK‘s book endowment among the
top five percent of schools. public or private. in the
nation.

The Low-down

Government vows to bring justice

BELGRADE. Yugoslavia ~ Yugoslavia‘s
president vowed Saturday to take Slobodan Milo
sevic into custody. and police forced back Milose-
vic supporters outside the villa where the former
president was holed up with dozens of armed
bodyguards. refusing to surrender. New police
troops deployed in the evening and pushed back
hundreds of supporters who had gathered out-
side Milosevic's compound. There were stone~
throwing scuffles between some Milosevic sup-
porters and people loyal to the new government.
Throughout the day. the supporters protested
outside the gates of the villa in an upscale Bel-
grade neighborhood. trying to prevent the ousted
president‘s arrest.

Political lund-raisers prepare for bill

WASHINGTON Political fund-raisers are
searching for new ways to keep money flowing as
the Senate prepares to vote on ridding federal
elections of sixvfigure donations. State parties
and tax-exempt groups are two possible alterna-
tives. Critics and supporters of ending the unlim-
ited. loosely regulated soft money donations from
unions. wealthy Americans and corporations
agree such a ban quickly will shrink the role of
political parties in a spiraling money chase that
collected a record 33 billion in 2000. The Senate is
set to vote Monday on legislation that makes the
first significant changes to campaign finance
laws since the Watergate era. The bill sponsored
by Sens. John McCain. R-Ariz.. and Russ Fein-
gold. I)»Wis.. will ban soft money donations to na-
tional political parties.

Hispanic population surges in towns

WASHINGTON Hispanics are surging be-
yond the country's traditional immigrant gate-
ways. quickly spilling into small Southern towns
and Midwestern farming communities now
learning to adapt to their newest residents‘ needs
and preferences. Data from the 2000 census
showed explosive growth in the Latino popula-
tion outside the nation‘s urban areas as Hispan-
ics helped to fill increasingly available low-wage
jobs in the 1990s. They came in droves to work in
meatpacking plants in Minnesota and Nebraska.
tend crops in Kentucky. and manufacture car-
pets in Georgia mills. That growth also intro-
duced new social dynamics and problems once
thought strictly the province of big cities. from
overcrowded schools and health centers to sim-
ple communication between English and non-
English speakers.

Powell lollowlng moderate line

WASHINGTON —— As President Bush pulls
US. foreign policy to the right. Secretary of State
Colin Powell is following a moderate line, pro
jecting continuity and stability to a watchful
world. The administration is into only its third
month. a little early to make judgments about
what may not be serious divisions. In fact, some
foreign policy analysts say it is premature to
look for rifts as the administration settles in and
some key posts are unfilled. In some key areas,
Powell clearly is the administration’s point man.
On Yugoslavia. for example, it is up to him to de
cide whether Belgrade is doing enough to bring
Slobodan Milosevic to judgment, thus ensuring
continued US. aid to the country.

Palestinians join funeral processions

JERUSALEM — Thousands of Palestinians
marched in funerals Saturday for seven people
killed in clashes with Israeli troops last week as
scattered fighting continued. Fourteen Palestini-
ans were injured. Anger against Israel seethed
throughout the Palestinian areas as dozens of
Palestinian children dressed as suicide bombers
led rallies in Gaza and the West Bank city of Ra-
mallah. Palestinian leaders said the six-month
uprising against lsrael would continue. Two girls
were among the Palestinians injured by Israeli
fire Saturday when clashes broke out at three
points in the Gaza Strip. At Rafah and Erez,
Palestinian protesters threw stones and fire-
botnbs at soldiers who responded with live
rounds and rubber-coated steel bullets.

nibble grass around old-fashioned red phone
booths. When the 6.000 or so animals go to
slaughter starting Sunday. foot-and-mouth dis-
ease will have stolen a central element of this
western English preserve‘s quirky spirit. Few of
the forest‘s residents depend on the sheep for
their livelihood. so the cull will not bring the eco
nomic devastation the epidemic has caused for
farming communities elsewhere.

Plane should not have tried to land

ASPEN. Colo. — The lead investigator said
on Saturday weather conditions were too bad for
a landing by the charter jet that crashed. killing
everyone on board. “Absolutely not," said Al
Dickinson. head of the National Transportation
Safety Board team examining the crash. when
asked if a landing should have been attempted.
The National Weather Service reported light
snow at the time of the crash: visibility dropped
from 10 miles to less than 2 miles in about 20
minutes just before the plane went down. The As-
pen-Pitkin County Airport is tricky to land at
even on clear days. Its single runway is sur-
rounded by mountains that force approaching
aircraft to make steep descents.

Speaker introduces
UK to a new galaxy

Mars: Students can learn about space

By Kristin Cunderson
CONTRIBUTING WRITER

“My Very Eager Mother Juno Sat Upon Nine Pins."

This pneumonic device may be one of the few space—related
pieces of knowledge college students brought with them from
high school.

If your space exploration education ended after you mastered
this phrase, then there is an opportunity to expand your knowl-
edge about the solar system.

A scientist who trains astronauts to explore Mars and the
moon will speak for the Kentucky Geological Survey's Distin-
guished Lecture Series today and Tuesday.

Patricia Wood Dickerson. a scientist from Lockheed Martin.
NASA‘s Johnson Space Center. will discuss her experiences train-
ing astronauts.

Dickerson will also “show spectacular color slides of images
from space to explain how features observed on the surface of the
Earth, moon and Mars help us understand the evolution of our so-
lar system." said Ralph Derickson. a spokesman from the UK
Public Relations Department.

Dickerson trains astronauts in Earth processes and dynamic
processes. She instructs them on what to look for and what to
photograph while in space. Dickerson then analyzes the photos to
determine how the planets and moons surfaces are changing and
whether those changes are
man-induced or the result of
geological processes.

“We chose Dickerson to
be the keynote speaker be-
cause she is an outstanding
geoscientist and she is well
recognized in the internation-
al circle of geologists." said
Carol Ruthven, manager of
communications and technol-
ogy transfer for KGS.

Want to go?

Dickerson will speak on the
topic “Springs, Sediments and
Streaks Terrestrial Analogues on
Earth’s Moon and Mars"at 7 pm.
in the Center Theater at the
Student Center.

She will speak about
”Astronaut Training in Field
Geophysical Methods for Water-

“The passion she has for Resource Assessment" on
her job. her love for geology Tuesday at the same time and
and her incredible, intelligent place.
curiosity in everything she
does comes through when she
speaks," Ruthven said.

The speeches are free and open to the general public. which is
another reason KGS selected Dickerson to speak.

“Her speeches will appeal to the public as a whole. not just ge
ologists." Ruthven said.

Dickerson said it is important that students from all areas.
not just geology and science majors. hear about her topics.

“It‘s important for anyone to be exposed to subject areas and
whole new topics just to open up new options for things to read
about.“ Dickerson said.

She also said learning about these topics might open up ca-
reer options as well.

“The nature of human beings is to explore." she said. “There's
a whole other kind of world out there, and it's wildly exciting."

By lamln Swami
ASSISTANT NENS EDITOR

Alan Stein rolled out of his
dark sleeping bag. stretched his
arms and looked around the new
Legends Ballpark.

“This is the best sleep I have
had in a long time." Stein said.

It was 7:10 am. on Saturday.
a big day for Stein and baseball
fans.

Stein. the president of the
Lexington Legends. the city‘s
new minor league baseball team.
camped out with fans who want
ed to be first in line for opening
day tickets.

If that doesn‘t tell you. the
new baseball team is going to be
a fan-friendly team.

"This is the fun parts. being
with the fans," Stein said.

The whole stadium is fan

friendly. loaded with a variety of

amenities to keep fans satisfied
for nine innings.

Wherever a fan watches the
game in the ballpark. they will
have a good view.

“There’s not a bad seat in the
stadium.“ said Tom Kenny. Leg-
ends vice president of coniniiini
cations/public relations.

There is a variety of seating
from Super Club seats. which are
positioned around the home plate
to field boxes to “bleaclier bums,“
bleachers along the left field wall.
All seats except the bleachers
have chair backs.

The Legends sold all the seats
for their home opener just hours
after individual game tickets
went on sale Saturday. To meet
the demand for opening night.
the team announced that 400
standing-room-only tickets would
go on sale Monday.

Single game tickets are
priced from $4 for general admis-
sion. $5 for reserved and $7 for
box seats.

Looking to have a hot dog. a
box of (‘racker .lacks and soda af-
ter the end of the third inning?
Listen out for the hawkcrs saying
"Hot Dogs?" while walking up
and down the stands. bringing
back the sounds of the golden
days of baseball. Fans can catch
the whole game and keep the
stomach full without leaving
their seat.

Looking for something more
gourmet to satisfy the palette. the
stadium has a variety of conces‘
sions.

“The stadium will offer a sub
stand. a beer garden and even a
sweet (candy) shop.“ Kenny said.
The stadium will also have pizza
from the longtime local pizzeria.
.Ioe Bologna‘s.

For Toney Cooksey. Jr.. a re-
ligion sophomore at Cumberland
College anti the first to receive
opening day tickets Saturday. mi
nor league baseball is the best.

“Cheap. family oriented and
minor league players don‘t have
the attitude as the majors do."
