If you knew sdmeone was stalking your fami-
ly. would you post a sign in your yard that said
“This house is a gun-free zone?"

With policies that ban carrying concealed
weapons on campus. universities are doing essen-
tially the same thing. said the author of “The Bias
Against Guns: Why Almost Everything You’ve

~Heard about Gun Control is Wrong" in a speech
last night.

“We all want to get guns away from criminals.
1 think the question is: Who is going to obey the
laws taking guns away?“ said John Lott. a senior
research scientist at the University of Maryland.
College Park.

Lott spoke last night as part of an event orga-
nized by UK‘s chapter of Students for Concealed
Carry on Campus. Capt. Kevin Franklin of UK
police also spoke as part of the event.

Lott emphasized that owning guns and having
them on campus is a cost-benefit analysis. While
people may commit violent acts using guns. peo-
ple also use guns to prevent violent crimes from
happening. he said.

However. Lott said research has shown both
sides of the story are not reported.

In his own investigation. Lott found that of the
190.000 words on crime in reports by ABC. NBC
and CBS that he examined. none were dedicated
to people defending themselves using guns. Print
sources were not much better. he said.

Although he said it is not balanced. Lott said
he understands why media coverage of certain
events happens. When presented with a story of
an innocent shooting victim or someone with a
gun who scares a criminal away. the story most
news editors will pick is obvious.

“1 don‘t think anybody. without any reference to
bias. wouldn't think the first story is more newswor-
thy with a body on the ground." Lott said.

Project collects
textbooks for
Afghan students

By Bosglind Essig

news@kykarnal.com

The textbooks students cannot sell back may
seem worthless to some. but this semester those
used books can be pulled out of the garbage and
put into the hands of students overseas.

The Center for Community Outreach is part-
nering with lntemational Book Project Inc. to or-
ganize a book drive on campus during finals
week. The books students donate and private book
donations will be shipped to two universities in
Afghanistan.

The lntemational Book Project Inc.. a private
non-profit organization based in Lexington. hopes
to send about 20.000 higher-education textbooks
to the American University of Afghanistan and
Kabul Medical University. said Toni Greider. as-
sociate dean of the Research and Education Divi-
sion at W.T. Young Library.

Donations will either go to the universities or
will be sold to cover the shipping costs. said Grei-
der. who is working with the book project at UK.

“Any number of books we‘re going to get is
going to be helpful." she said. “No donation is too
small."

The American University of Afghanistan. es—
tablished in 2006. and Kabul Medical University.
which is going through financial problems. are
trying to build their resources with up-to-date
textbooks. according to a UK press release.

Guns

Continued from page 1

 

Franklin was invited to last night’s event
as a counter to Lott‘s speech. said David
Burnett. who heads UK‘s chapter of Stu-
dents for Concealed Carry on Campus. UK
policy currently bans carrying concealed
weapons on campus. and a bill in the state
legislature that would permit concealed car-
ry on campus failed to make it out of a
House committee before the legislative ses-
sion ended earlier this month.

Franklin said he supports UK's stance
on gun control and spent the last half of his
time on stage responding to audience mem—
bers who opposed the school ‘5 policy. When
one student compared keeping a concealed
carry weapon to other safety methods. in-
cluding keeping a fire extinguisher in your
house in case of a fire. Franklin disagreed.

“The odds of your house catching on

fire are a lot more likely than someone fir-
ing a gun at you." Franklin said.

Last night's event with Lott and
Franklin was intended to educate and per—
suade people that licensed holders of con—
cealed carry weapons should be allowed to
bring those weapons on campus to protect
themselves. said Burnett. a business man—
agement junior. Students for Concealed
Carry on Campus will also participate in a
national Empty Holster Campaign this
week. where participants wear empty gun
holsters as part of a national campaign.

Undeclared sophomore Meg Soileau
said she went to last night‘s event for an
economics class and was surprised it was
interesting. While she fears guns in ,the
hands of inexperienced users. Soileau said
last night‘s event gave her a few more facts
on the issue that led her to consider the ben-
efits of guns.

"If my opinion isn‘t changed complete—
ly. it certainly made me think." she said.

 

TEXT BOOKS

Continued from page 1

Carol Behr. general manager at
Kennedy Bookstore, said the drive is a
“win-win“ situation. Otherwise Kennedy
Bookstore would have to throw away the
merchandise it could not sell. she said.

“It‘s great — before, we didn’t have
any options for the books that we couldn‘t
sell.“ Behr said.

Students can find donation boxes for
the drive in several Student Center loca-
tions: the main lobby near UK Bookstore.
next to Starbucks and in the Center for
Community Outreach office. Boxes are
also at the entrances to White Hall Class-
room Building. in the Patterson Office

If you’re up music‘s creek without a
paddle, try using OAR. instead.

O.A.R.. an American jam band from
Rockville. Md.. is scheduled to perform at
UK‘s Memorial Coliseum tomorrow at 8
pm.
“Students should get with their friends.
come out to the show and take a break from
studying this week," said Ashlee Harris. an
integrated strategic communications junior
and the Student Activities Board public rela-
tions director. “The SAB was excited to
have the opportunity to bring this band for
the students —- not only do they have amaz—
ing music. but an inspirational story that hits
close to home for all of us who feel like our

dreams are too big to chase sometimes."
The band. composed of Marc Roberge
(vocals. guitar). Chris Culos (drums. percus-
sion), Richard On (guitar. back-up vocals).
Benj Gershman (bass guitar) and .lerry De—
Pizzo (saxophone. guitar. back-up vocals). is
known for songs such as “The Wanderer.“
“Hey Girl" and “Love and Memories."

The band has been featured on ‘TRL.“
“The Tonight Show with Jay Leno." “Late
Night with Conan O'Brien“ and “Last Call
with Carson Daly.“ and has received the
“Streaming Woodie" award from MTVU in
2006 because its hit “Lay Down" was the
most downloaded. according to a press re-

home for many of the college students pursu—
ing passions of their own."

cut greenhouse gas emissions by
about 60 percent below 2005 lev-

trade“ plan in which the govem-

lowances to pollute. reducing the
overall amount each year. Compa-
nies could buy or sell the al-
lowances. or they could save them
to use in later years.

Now that they‘ve lost the

thinking this will put séads of
people out of work and damage
the economy." he said.
