Roommate
games

I received these
suggestions in an
e-mail on how to
annoy your
roommate and was
rolling on the floor. I
just had to share
them with you.

Kill several people. Store
the corpses
underneath your
roommate's bed. Call
the police.

Burn all your waste
paper while eyeing
your roommate
suspiciously.

Hide your underwear and
socks in your
roommate's closet.
Accuse him of
stealing them.

Whenever his parents
call and ask for your
roommate, breathe
into the phone for
five seconds, then
hang up.

Hang stuffed animals
with nooses from
your ceiling.

Security. energy and the tax re

We don‘t all have a plane. but
the vice president does.

And as llicl-z (‘hi-ney came to

of the plane that carries the na-
tion‘s second tiiost powerful man.

Two former UK graduates pi-
loted the plane Monday. l,t. (‘ol.
Joseph Bender (class of 1982) and
Major Steve Ward (class of Willi)
arranged a tour of the jet for the
cadets.

Bender was humble in
defining his role on Air Force Two,

“l'in a just a taxi driver who's
well trained and highly motivat~
ed." he said.

Ward said his training has
helped him to relax into a job that
involves the safety of some of the
nation's most powerful figures.

“You know you‘re doing some-
thing out of the ordinary. but you
do it enough and practice it that it
never feels routine. but you get to
the point where you feel comfort
able doing it."

Bender explained that all of
the plane's flights are non-stop and
that the jet is capable offlying west
all the way to Tokyo or east to
(‘airo without refueling

This is possible by Air Force
Two‘s extra 6i).li(l(l-pound fuel tank
that is not standard in regular
commercial 737s;

Lt. Col. Tim Bender, USAF, UK Class of '82, describes his role as a pilot for Air
Force Two to members of UK's AFROTC on Monday morning. Vice President
Dick Cheney was in Lexington to speak at a fundraiser for Rep. Ernie Fletcher.

It is also capable of routing the
entire flight and the pilots are only
left to follow the simple path desig-
nated for the trip.

"it builds a highway in the sky
for you." he said.

The cabin contains ten first
class business seats for the “cus—
tomers." or VIPs on board.

Bender said the plane routine-
ly carries the secretaries of state
and defense. He said there is a
high request rate for use of the
plane by heads of state and that
many requests have to be denied
because of limited space.

"There's definitely a pecking
order for who gets on the air
plane.” Bender said.

There is a special area for the
vice president. who is referred to
as the “Distinguished Visitor" and
his guests and staff. (‘heney has a
small private office with a desk
and a roll-out couch. Bender also
said the vice president is able to
use the telephone system at any
time to reach the White House.

The plane has private fax
lines. phone lines and the lnternet.

"it's very much a flying
business office." Bender said

Administration Building update

An ad hoc committee appointed by UK Presi-
dent Lee Todd met Monday to advise UK on the
renovation of the fire-damaged Administration
Building. The results:

0 A mold problem has begun inside the
building. Senior Vice President for Administra-
tion Jack Blanton said UK is bringing in experts
from Louisville to dispose of the problem.

- Construction crews will build a temporary
roof. consisting of plywood and tar paper, over
the building, and close windows during the next
four to six weeks to dry out the area. The
process will take an indefinite time and require
heaters be placed inside during winter to en-
sure no further damage to the building.

' The committee is debating the addition of a
rear entry to prevent the structure from
appearing closed off to the POT plaza.

0 The second floor of the building will house a
ceremonial room, running the width of the
building. for special meetings, media confer-
ences and other events.

- The committee is considering adding a
classroom to the interior of the building. simi-
iar to that of the University of Kansas, to

But he soon falls into the

Wahlberg is laughable at
first but we grow accustomed
to his presence as a long»
haired musician. The trans-
formation he makes from
giddy rock star to a drunken
one is an impressive journey.

The movie is clever
when it inserts references to
modern rap songs and cer-
tain album covers with no
band name on them (a la
Metallica).

The. concert scenes are
extraordinary, The minute
Wahlberg steps on the stage,
the audience feels his adula-
tion and adrenaline rush as
15,000 fans scream and cheer
for him.

The documentary-style
interviews at the beginning
and the end of the movie
should have been left for a
This is Spinal Tap sequel. in-
stead of this satire.

Aniston is overrated as
an actress. but was moving
in this performance; her
teary-eyed scene at the end
was incredible.

Rock Star is a movie that
musicians will appreciate be-
cause they can identify with
the yearning for attention on
stage. It even has a decent
message: Strive to be cre-
ative.

Pop star
finds faith

OWENSBORO - Denise
Matthews, a former
sidekick to the pop
artist Prince.
recalled an abusive
childhood and years
of cocaine abuse in
an hour-long sermon
that enlivened an
Owensboro church
crowd Sunday.

Matthews. 42, was
known as Vanity
while in Prince's
band in the 1980s
She cut four solo
albums and
appeared in 17
movies, but said she
wasn‘t happy until
she recently
found God.

"I have learned now
how to be abased,
to suffer need,"
Matthews told the
packed crowd at
Owensboro's Church
Alive. "I've learned
these things
through Christ."

Matthews said her
struggles began
when her white
mother left her as a
child. She said her
African-American
father beat her with
wooden blocks and
his fists.

"I had a horrible
childhood," she said.
"l didn't know what
it was to be happy. I
loathed myself."

Once her musical
career took flight,
she said she started
using cocaine.

She said she's been
clean for nine years
and has learned to
overcome her
bitterness for her
father. She now
travels to churches
across the country
preaching and
urging others to
turn to religion to
overcome
their problems.

Plea bargaining
away the truth

No contest plea of middle school teacher
unlikely to yield beneficial results for anyone

Innocent or not. Terry Squires will forfeit his innocence
and freedom in order to avoid harsh punishments stemming
from four students at Jessie (‘lark Middle School.

Pleading guilty to accusations that he inappropriately
touched four female students. Squires now faces 12 months in
jail that will be suspended for two years if he attends a treat»
ment program for sex offenders. He also must register as a life.
time sex offender in the state registry.

Opting to avoid felony charges. Squires entered an Alford
plea. which basically states that while the defendant denies
any wrongdoing. the evidence may be enough to convict.

The question is. if Squires truly believes in his innocence.
why did he take the plea in the first place? Why would he want
to sacrifice his reputation arguably the tnost vital asset a
teacher possesses so that he could barter his was into a
lesser punishment?

"In the 20 years I've been in education. I‘ve never touched a
child for sexual gratification." Squires said in the courtroom
before the sentence was handed down.

Squires will be sent to jail immediately if he does not com-
plete the treatment program. How can any rehabilitation pro—
gram be successful if Squires refuses to admit fault? Isn‘t the
most important step in any recovery overcoming denial?

Supporters stand at both sides of this proverbial fence. De—
scribed as having an “exemplary life and career" by Fayette
Circuit Judge Mary Noble. Squires has no public record and
was at very low risk as a possible sex offender. The incidents
that occurred in late 1999 and early 2000 do little to improve
the record of work Squires may have achieved thus far.

Squires now works in a teacher resource center. an obvious
demotion frotn his former teachii g position.

But pleading guilty. even while maintaining one’s inno-
cence. is still pleading guilty.

It may be a sign of the times and perhaps even a condemna-
tion of the system. though. when the fear of going to jail mat-
ters more than clinging to one‘s innocence.

DIALOGUE

 

imprisonment

Some things
never change
with trustees

Out with the old. in with the new — or so we are
led to think.

Unless you live under a rock, you know that UK
has a new president. And with a new president gen-
erally comes a new administrative structure. new
appointments, new positions and new staff-changes,
to put it generally.

Evidently. some people are slightly afraid
of change.

The UK Board of Trustees is a powerful policy-
making body that consists of appointees by the gov-
ernor of Kentucky. faculty and staff representatives
and the president of Student Government. The cur-
rent chairman is one Billy Joe Miles, a Kentucky
businessman who has been chair of the board for
two years — the length of his contract. This past Sat-
urday the trustee nominating committee unani-
mously decided that the contract of Miles and of his
vice chairman, Steve Reed. be extended
another year.

Why, might you ask. should Miles be granted this
exception? The committee stated that there is a need

._ for “continuity” on the BOT. given that “UK Presi-

dent Lee Todd has been on the job only nine weeks.”

One need only look at the national or state gov-
ernment to realize that this argument is slightly in-
valid. When Bush was elected in January, America
got an entirely new cabinet, new federal judges and
new political appointees along with a new party in
power. We can’t exactly say that the country is run-
ning perfectly because of that transition, but there
hasn’t been a complete int
