Truth resonates from
wall to wall.

Far away from Rupp
Arena and Commonwealth
Stadium. fans. players and
coaches come together to
speak their mind. There’s
nothing else like it.

If you really want the
straight talk on UK sports.
look no further than New
Ebony Barbershop.

The place bleeds blue.

Every day. basketball
and football players lean
back in the blue chairs.
waiting for a fresh cut.

The ties extend to the
barbers. Glenn Boyd. who
runs New Ebony is the un-
cle of former UK quarter—
back Shane Boyd. Another
barber. Pat Phillips. is the
brother of the football
team's offensive coordinator.

It doesn't end there.

Loan default may mean benefit loss

By David G. Savage
Los incurs tints

WASHINGTON In the
latest installment of the
baby-boomers-reach-retire—
mentage saga. the Supreme
(‘ourt said Monday it would
decide whether the govern—
ment can seize Social Securi-
ty benefits from former col-
lege students who failed to
repay their student loans.

At issue is $3.6 billion in
student loans that have gone
unpaid for more than 10
years.

One federal law says Edu-
cation Department officials

should aggressively seek to
collect money from those
who defaulted on their gov-
ernment-backed loans.

The agency can do so by
garnishing wages or seeking
other sources of money

But a second law says the
government should not take
Social Security benefits to
repay debts that are more
than 10 years old.

Lower courts are split on
which law to follow.

To resolve the dispute.
the US. justices voted to
hear the case of James Lock-
hart. a Washington state

man who went to four col-
leges in the 19803 with the
help of federally guaranteed
student loans.

He became disabled from
diabetes and heart disease
and was unemployed in 1991
when he defaulted on nine
student loans.

Loekhart was living on
the $874 per month that he
received from Social Securi-
tys disability program in
2002. At the time. he had
$80000 in unpaid student
loans.

To repay his debts. the
government took $93 a

 

month from his disability
benefits.

A year later. Loekhart
reached age 65 and began re-
ceiving old age benefits i11-
stead of disability benefits.

Now. the government is
taking $113 per month from
his benefits.

Under the law. the gov-
ernment can seize 15 percent
of a recipient's monthly ben-
efits to repay the loans.

The Education Depart
ment said these seizures had
“proven to be an effective
means" of recovering un-

Poll: Majority support having filibusters

By Richard Norin and Dan Balz
nit wisiiiiictoii POST

WASHINGTON As
the Senate moves toward a
major confrontation over
judicial appointments. a
strong majority of Ameri-
cans oppose changing the
rules to make it easier for
Republican leaders to win
confirmation of President
Bush's court nominees. ac-
cording to the latest Wash
ington Post-ABC News Poll.

GOI’ leaders are threat-
ening a rules change to pro
hibit the use of filibusters
to block judicial nominees
and have stepped up their
criticism of the Democrats
for using the tactic on some
of Bush's nominees to the
federal appellate courts.

They say they are pre-
pared to invoke what has
become known as the “nu
clear option" to assure that
Bush‘s nominees receive an
up-or-down vote on the Sen.
ate floor.

But by a 2-1 margin. the
public rejected easing Sen-
ate rules in a way that
would make it harder for
Democratic senators to pre-
vent final action on Bush's
nominees.

Even many Republicans
were reluctant to abandon
current Senate confirma-
tion procedures: Nearly half
opposed any rules changes
joining eight in 10 Democ-
rats and seven in 10 politi
cal independents the poll
found.

The wide~ranging sur-

b

vey also recorded a precipi-
tous decline in support for
the centerpiece of Bush‘s
Social Security plan pri-
vate. or personal. accounts

even though the presi~
dent and other administra-
tion officials have been
stumping the country as
part of a 60- day blitz to mo-
bilize support.

The Post ABC poll found
that a bare majority 51
percent now oppose such
accounts while 45 percent
support them

The poll also registered
a drop in key Bush s perfor-
mance ratings. growing pes-
simism about the economy
and continuing concerns
about US involvement in
Iraq. Nor are the GOP‘s
problems confined to the

e

White House.

Four in 10 say that
House Majority Leader Tom
Delay. R-Tex.. under fire for
alleged ethics violations.
should resign his leader

ship post. while a third of .

the public said he should re
main in his job.

Among the 36 percent
who say they have been fol-
lowing the allegations
against Delay. nearly two in
three say Delay should step
down.

A total of 1.007 random—
ly selected adults were in-
terviewed by telephone
April 21-24 for this Post-
ABC News poll.

Margin of sampling er-
ror for the overall results is
plus or minus 3 percentage

Two students
win national
research award

By Adam Sichlio
mt minim MEN—u

Jason Passafiume and
Nicolas Badre know a lot
about two subjects not many
UK students are familiar
with: sleep and communica-
tion among an or-
ganism’s cells.

But the Beckman
Foundation. which
awards undergradu-
ates for research pro
jects in the areas of
biology or chemistry,
saw value in the ear-
ly research work
these two UK stu-
dents had accom‘
plished to the tune of
$19.300 each.

Yesterday. President Lee
Todd introduced Passafiume
and Badre as UK‘s
newest Beckman
Scholars. winners of
a stipend that pays
for their tuition as
well as the research
they will continue to
perform at UK.

“What‘s exciting
for the students is
this puts you in rari-
fied company" Todd
said. “You realize
that we can compete with
anybody

"It serves us well when
you show what you can do ,_
it raises the esteem of this
university“ he said.

The Beckman Scholars
Program began recognizing
undergraduate research in
1997. and UK now has had
eight students win the award.
UK began participating in
2002. and last month. the foun-
dation renewed UK's eligibili-
ty for another three-year
term. No more than 15 univer-
sities earn participation in
the program.

Passafiume said he was
“absolutely shocked" to learn
he had won the award for his
work examining why organ-
isms need sleep and examin-

Passafiume

ing the restorative powers of
meditation as a potential ef-
fective substitute for sleep
About 75 million Americans
live with minor sleeping dis-
orders. according to the Na-
tional Sleep Association.

“It‘s inspirational
to be around such ex-
citing people." Passafi-
ume said of his lab
coworkers and Bruce
O’Hara. an associate
biology professor who
is Passafiume’s faculty
mentor.

“With sleep. there
are so many questions,
so many different av-
enues to explore and

unpredictable outcomes,"
said the biology junior from
Louisville. “It’s hard not be to
be excited about it."

Badre. born in
Paris to American par-
ents. won his Beck-
man award for his
work on synaptic
transmission. the
process by which an
organism’s cells oom-
municate with one an-
other. Badre is further
examining how calci-
um regulates the
nerve transmissions.

“I can help people and the
world advance." said Badre. a
biology junior. “This is my
own project # that excites
me. I wanted to answer ques-
tions not answered before.”

That’s exactly what the
Beckman funding will help
both Passafiume and Badre
do. said Robin Cooper, an as-
sociate professor of biology
who is Badie's faculty mentor.

“It‘s not just about pub
lishing papers. but about
learning how to conduct re
search," he said. “Too many
people just do work and look
at the answers. but to have a
goal and work toward it, that
is the bigger educational
goal."

Engineering freshman Sara Griffith (right) buys her books In August

say buy back prices depend upon how useful the book will be later.

By Josey Fralies
THE xtxrucxv mm

Selling books back at the
end of the semester is com-
mon to most 17K students. but
most don't know the certain
methods bookstores apply
when buying your books
back.

Student s options are
plentiful on UK s campus
You can go to Kennedy‘s
Book Store which has been
around since 1950. the UK
Bookstore which is leased by
Kennedy's. the eCampuscom
trailer. or Wildcat Textbooks.
All these stores have a simi
lar systematic approach
when buying books back. If
you want a difference in ap
proach you can try online
sites such as UKbookex-
change. com

eCampuscom Manager
Jeff Garrett said his store
bases pricing for books on a

guide that is published by a
separate book company
called South Eastern.

“We base our (buy back)
p1 ices on a list that is provid-
ed by this company or oth-
ers. Garrett said. eCampus
buys and sells books year
round at their warehouse in
town. online. and on campus
at the end and beginning of
the semesters. he said.

“What you make (selling
textbooks). you have to put
some aside because you
know you'll buy back books
later." Garrett said.

Garrett said listed prices
are the guidelines for buying
back books from students.
but beating competition is
very important.

“When we have a cue-
tomer. we don‘t want them
walking away" he said

Officers testify in army grenade attack trial

by Richard A Senate
‘Tnsutcutsmcs‘

FORT BRAGG. NC.
Military prosecutors argued
Monday that the Army
sergeant convicted last week
of murdering two of his offi-
cers in Kuwait should be put
to death. They bolstered their
argument with the testimony
of 15 officers who described
the loss of the two men and
the attack's lingering physical
and emotional wounds.

Testifying in the penalty
phase of the trial of Sgt.
Hasan Akbar. the officers said
they feared loud noises. could
not sleep and compulsively

Some have sought to leave the
military. Several cried on the
witness stand.

paid student loans.

In 2003, the collection ef-
fort brought in $400 million
from reclaimed Social Securi—
ty benefits.

Lockhart sued three
years ago to block the seizure
of his benefits. but he lost be
fore a federal judge in Seattle
and the 9th US. Circuit Court
of Appeals in San Francisco.

Its judges pointed to the
education law that encour-
ages the government to ag-
gressively collect unpaid stu
dent loans.

But the US. appeals court
in St. Louis. in a separate
case. came to the opposite
conclusion by pointing to the
Debt Collection Act. which
bars the government from
seizing Social Security bene-
fits to pay debts that are more
than 10 years old.

The Public Citizen Litiga-
tion Group in Washington ap~
pealed on Lockhart‘s behalf.
Its lawyers argued that many

murder and three counts of
attempted murder last Thurs-
day. His future rests with a
jury of 15 soldiers being
asked to decide whether he
should be executed or sen-
tenced to life in prison. Akbar.
34. a devout Muslim raised in
Los Angeles. has said his fel-
low soldiers drove him to at-
tack because they made re-
lentless threats about his reli-
gion. He has said he feared
American soldiers would kill
Muslim women and children
in Iraq.

According to testimony. he
outlined the attack plan in a
computer diary. and in the
early hours of March 23. 2003.
just before his unit was to
move into Iraq. Akbar shut
off nearby lights. lobbed
grenades at sleeping officers

people have no income other
than Social Security. and
Congress did not want agen-
cies to seize the benefits of
such people. The Supreme
Court said it would hear the
case of Lockhart vs. US. in
the fall.

Meanwhile. the court also
agreed to consider whether a
homeowner who trips over a
piece of mail on her front
porch can sue the US. Postal
Service.

Barbara Dolan. a Penn-
sylvania woman. says she
hurt her back and wrist in
August 2001 when she fell
over a stack of letters and
packages that her mail carri-
er left on her porch. She sued
the Postal Service. but a
judge dismissed the claim.
noting that federal law did
not allow claims over the
"loss. miscarriage or negli-
gent transmission of letters
or postal matter."

In her appeal. Dolan ar-
gued that her claim did not
involve the mishandling of
the mail. but negligence in
putting the package on her
porch.

She also noted that a
court in New York had al-

and sprayed them with rifle
fire as they ran from their

tents.

A third case. also set for
the fall. will test whether con-
victed murderers can try to
avoid the death penalty by ar-
guing before the sentencing
jury that they are not guilty
after all.

In the past. the Supreme
Court has said the sentenC»
ing hearing should focus on
whether the defendant de-
serves to die for the crime.
not whether he committed
the crime. But the justices
have also said defendants
have a right to present all
“mitigating evidence" to the
sentencing jury.

Last year. the Oregon
Supreme Court overturned
the death sentence for Randy
Guzek because he had been
barred from telling jurors
during the sentencing hear-
ing that witnesses said he
was not at the crime scene
when a couple was robbed
and murdered in 1987.

The Supreme Court said
it would hear the case of Ore
gon vs. Guzek to clarify the
law.

Air Force Capt.
Mark Wisher. who
was severely wound-
ed in the chest. said
Monday that he was
haunted by Stone‘s
last moments.

“I saw the fear in
his eyes and the re-
alization that he
wasn't going to see
his family again. his
two boys and his fi-
ancee." Wisher said.

Army Capt. Dex~
ter McLe'ndon said
he was worried about another
”walking time bomb" within
the ranks.

“I have a problem being in
closed-in areas. like tents and

Hedric

buildings." he said. “I don't
like being around people. I
don't like it when windows go
down. I'm constantly looking
at doors. I'm always looking
for ways to escape." he said.

He said he had visited
Army psychiatrists a half-
dozen times for help dealing
with loud noises ,_ “just any-
thing that sounds like an ex
plosion. I immediately want
to go to the ground and seek
cover."

Army Capt. Gian Amorso
10 said he checks his bedroom
door 10 to 15 tithes each night
to make sure it is locked.
Once. driving to his base. he
abruptly returned home to be
certain that the doors were
latched.

Amorsolo. who was
wounded in the attack. had
hoped to serve 20 to 25 years

leave in June.

Army Capt. Terry Bacon
also wants out. angry that a
US. soldier caused the scars
on his knees. legs and back.

"it used to be that one of

the safest places in the world
was in the field." he said. But
now, “the green uniform is no
longer a blanket of trust for
me."
Army Maj. Andras Mar-
ton had the most difficulty
composing himself while tes-
tifying. The attack nearly
killed him. His legs were se-
verely wounded and a lung
collapsed.

Marton. who began mili-
tary school in first grade. had
seen himself as a career sole

er for Kennedy‘s Bookstore. and David Felk-
er. a book distributor for Kennedy’s. both
said they understand that finding the best
deals are difficult and time-consuming.

“We want to give the best deal." Behr
said. “Our customer is the student."

Felker compared Kennedy’s business to
that of a used car dealership. “The main de-
termining factor is. can we sell this to a stu-
dent next semester’?“ Felker asked.

He explained that the amount of money
given back to the student is based upon a
guideline book from Fallet. a wholesale
book company.

“Buying a used book is like a car dealer-
ship getting a trade-in car.“ Felker said.
“The dealer will give you the book value
and decide if he can get rid of that car on
his lot. If not. he must sell it to a wholesale
company for a lower price."

The best-case scenario for a book return
is receiving half of the book‘s most recent
price. if the textbook is able to be used later
on. Felker said. The bookstore may also buy
back the book at a lesser wholesale value if
there is a lesser chance they will sell it. and
the worst-case scenario is that the bookstore
won‘t buy back the textbook because it
won't be needed anymore.

“If students don‘t understand. please
ask." Behr said. “Most students completely
understand when given an explanation of
how it works."

Still. the experience aggravates some
students.

“It‘s frustrating paying for an account-
ing book that was $120 and knowing that i
might not get much back." said accounting
junior Sheena Miser.

Another student invented an outlet for
other students to make the book buying and
selling experience easier and maybe
more profitable.

Brian Raney. a computer science senior
at UK. has set up his own business of book
buying and selling at
UKBookExchange.com.

Raney started his website because he
said he was “tired of having no good alter-
native” for selling and buying textbooks. (in
his Web site. you can list your book at the
price you want to sell it for. Raney charges a
fee for his services. but students are in con-
trol of all the details on this pecr~to~pwr
Web site. he said.

“Everybody wins." Raney said.

Registration on the Web site is free. and
anywhere front 1.500 to 1.600 members have
signed up since its creation in 2004.

“It's great. because you're helping peo-
ple out. and they‘re helping you." said Jon
Fausz. a telecommunications junior who
uses the Web site.

It's a sin not
to back up your SIM

loll-ml 51m

SIM cards are cell phone memory devices that lteep track of phone numbers so our lazy brains don't have to.
Backing up a SIM card can prevent information loss should something happen to your cell phone.

Life needs a backup pro-
grant.

People rely too much on
s i n g I e
copies of
informa
tlon. A
good net-
work ad-
ministra-
tor knows
to keep
backups of
everything.
and when
something
g o e s
wrong. no
one will
know the difference.

However. if you‘re not a
network administrator or
paranoid. you probably keep
only a single copy of your
data with the hope that noth-
iiig will go wrong.

Ilut Murphy's law says
that things will go wrong.

Let's say the Subscriber
Identify Module. or SIM card.
in your cell phone goes bad.

(In many cell phones. the
SIM is where all your saved
phone numbers are kept. so
switching to a newer phone
is a matter of replacing a
card.

Most people don‘t back up

phone numbers on the cell
phone. so what happens
when the SIM bites the dust?

You‘ll have to pay a nice
fee with your cell phone com-
pany to get the card replaced.
and if you have all your
phone numbers in there.
they're going to be all gone.

It‘s also pretty common
for people to store everything
on their hard drives alone.
Hard drives are not forever.
With the speed of today's
computers and the heat they
produce. equipment fails at a
pretty high rate.

Some hard drives spin at
10,000 RPM. as fast as a high-
speed drill. and run at tem-
peratures of more than 120
degrees Fahrenheit.

What can you do to save
your data?

Most cell phones can be
connected to a computer in
some way. It might be worth
the investment to buy the ca-
ble to download all your con-
tacts. should something go
wrong.

Some cell phones are
Bluetooth-enabled. which
makes it possible to connect
to a Bluetooth-enabled com-
puter or PDA very easy. and
transferring contacts be-
tween two places is simple.

Each phone manufactur-
er implements data transfer
differently. so it would be
hard to describe the informa-
tion-transfer procedure in
depth.

A benefit of connecting
your cell phone and comput-
er is that the data transfer
works both ways. so if you
use Microsoft Outlook to
manage your contacts, you
can download all the contacts
from there to your phone.
You‘ll also be able to down-
load information from The
Facebook to your phone.

As for hard-drive back-
ups. the simplest solution is
to save a copy of everything
to a USB drive or burn it to
CI). USB drives are pretty in-
expensive. If you look online
on Frooglecom. you can
score a 256-megahyte drive
for around 325.

Your data can never be
too safe. and while nothing
can keep your equipment

TECHCHECK I not Just for geelrs

‘Phishing' not a sport. very costly
UK student defrauded
in scheme through e-mail

Dylaggiel’hcel
MIDITUCKYIEML

Paige Fannin had never
been to Romania, nor had she
ever planned to go. So when
she looked at her checking ac-
count online and saw that
more than $250 in credit card
charges were appearing from
Romania, she was concerned.

Fannin, a communication
sophomore, said she's been
duped in one of the fastest-
growing scams today: “phish-
nlg H

According to a recent
Newsweek article. “phishing”
refers to e-mails that imitate
legitimate companies to ac-
quire credit card or other fi~
nancial information.

Just a few days before
Fannin saw the charges she
received an e- -mail from Pay
Pal. the service she used to
pay for the items she bought
on eBw

The site claimed that
there had been suspicious ac-
tivity within her account and
that she needed to re-enter
her credit card information.

Fannin said she didn‘t
know the e-mail was fraudu-
lent.

“I had no idea it wasn't re-
ally PayPal." she said. “It
looked completely legit.“

According to Newsweek.
an estimated 75 million to 150
million phishing e-mails go
out a day. with losses as high
as $1 billion a year.

Why is it so hard to catch
these cyber-bandits when all
Web sites have traceable ad-
dresses that can link to the In
ternet service provider?

Problems can arise when
some sites have co-location
services that lead to other
ISPs. which may be located in
other countries that do not al-
ways open their records to the
US

After seeing the charges.
Fannin said she took action
immediately.

“I called my bank and had
them cancel the card right
away." she said. “They said
that all I had to do was sign
some papers. and the charges
would be dropped. and I’d be

reimbursed for all that men
ey."

Ken Sisler. director of risk
management for the UK Fed-
eral Credit Union. explained
that this situation can be
avoided simply by being in-
formed and skeptical.

“No financial institution
will ever ask you to verify
your account number." Sisler
said. “Especially your PIN
number —~

Ill! KENTUCKY “MI

College students are
known for having small bank
accounts. so many use the In-
ternet to buy merchandise
for cheap. One of the most
popular sites students use is
eBay.

eBay allows users to post
merchandise to auction off
or to bid on other people's
merchandise.
