UK staffers have been raising questions
about unionization to the staff senators
who represent them and staff representa-
tives are now making arrangements to hold
a larger-scale information session to make
sure all questions are answered accurately

“The Staff Senate is not taking a side
on the union issue,” said Staff Senate Pres—
ident Kyle Dippery. “We‘re just trying to
make sure that people are as well-informed
as they can be."

Dippery said the meeting is most likely
to take place sometime in mid- or late-May

Staff reps plan forum to discuss unions

Mike Garkovich, president of the Com-
munications Workers of America Local
3372. said he disagrees with that approach.

“All I can say is I would not even want
to pretend to hold a forum and explain the
staff senate to the staff,“ Garkovich said. “I
have a problem with them sitting down
with the staff and telling our story when
they have no knowledge of what we are."

Russ Williams. staff representative to
the Board of Trustees, said many staffers
have come forward with questions about
the unions. such as what the unions can do
to benefit staffers. how much union dues
are and the like. These are questions.
Williams said. that staff senators are not

prepared to answer yet.

The forum, Dippery said. is meant to
clear that up.

“We need to make sure when individual
staff come to find out about the union. they
have as clear a picture as possible of what
it will mean,” Dippery said. “It’s our (the
staff senators and staff representatives) re-
sponsibility to keep the staff informed."

Dippery said a major goal is to ensure
that staff isn‘t being mislead about what
the union will do for them.

“Part of what we’re concerned about is
that what (they) are going to get in the mail
is promises." Dippery said. “The job of the

THE KENTUCKY unfit“

Most everyone has a friend or at the
very least knows someone who simply has
to know everyone else‘s business. For in-

. stance. if they don't know someone at a par-
ty. they must find out who the person is.
why they are there. and whom else they
know. This characteristic can be perfectly
innocent until the snoop becomes con-
sumed by their desire to know everything.

Susanna Centlivre‘s play “The Busy
Body“ presents itself as the perfect recipe
for disaster. complete with the necessary in:
gredients of lovers and unwilling parents to
foil their plans. The story seems fairly com-
mon until you add in the aforementioned
nosy person to contribute a bit more to the
hijinks.

The play concerns a busy body. their
parents/guardians. and several “helpful"
servants. Sir Francis Gripe is guardian to
Miranda and Marplot and father to Charles.
Sir Gripe is in love with Miranda. though
she is in love with Sir George Airy. and Sir
Gripe believes Miranda and Sir George to
be married. Charles is in love with Isabin-
da. who is betrothed by her father. Sir Jeal~
ous Traffic. to a soon-toarrive Spaniard.

mmmwmam '

The combination of Kyle Zornes and
Christine Young as Gripe and Miranda. re-
spectively. makes her relationship with Sir
George that much more plausible. Young
does well stringing her guardian. or
“guardie” as she likes to call him. along and
helping him believe she is actually in love
with Sir George. Zornes is suitably over-
bearing and keeps from becoming too
creepy in his love for his “chargie.”

On the other side of town. lsabinda and
Charles are trying to foil her father‘s plan
to marry her to a man from Madrid. Blake
Carlson is cool as Charles. almost to the
point of being bland. His love interest.
played by Katie Keene, adds the much-need-
ed spark to the relationship with her cun-
ning. Her woman Patch is played by Dana
Chester and serves as a helping hand to the
relationship.

The final ingredient for the play is the
busy body himself, Marplot. played by
Fonzie Geary. Marplot. as his name sug-
gests, has the best of intentions most of the
time. but his plans for assistance tend to go
awry —— to the detriment of the person he
was trying to protect in the first place. How-
ever, unlike most characters of the same
persuasion. Marplot readily admits his ob-

Much of the play’s action takes place
when the women are present on stage.

are composed of plotting or discussion of 1

long running time of just under three

that has developed through the show is
eliminated in about 15 minutes.

“The Busy Body" has been called one of
the 18th century‘s forgotten treasures. and

Grants
send UK to
Eastern Ky.

Funding is part of focus on
helping students in Appalachia

By Joseph Nevels and Chris Stewart
lHE KENTUCKY mm

Two federal grants. totaling $28 million. have
been awarded to UK with special emphasis on in-
creasing and improving educational facilities and
opportunities in Eastern Kentucky and Ap-
palachia as a whole.

The two grants first came to UK in March and
officials are now developing plans to put the
grants to use.

The first grant of $2 million from the National
Science Foundation will send graduate students
to two Kentucky middle and high school systems
for a math mentoring program.

Ten math. science and engineering teachers
will go to Bath and Powell Counties for the next
three years to serve as mentors. The counties.
which were chosen as a result of low graduation
rates. and an even lower percentage of students
going on to get college degrees. expressed a signif-
icant need for improving math learning.

“To receive a grant of this amount in math is
absolutely wonderful for our students. communi—
ty and teachers." said Nancy Hutchinson. Bath
County Schools superintendent. “This grant is
going to bring direct instruction of not only
knowledge but applied concepts and will allow
our students to have a collaborative partner with
UK in making math real to our students' every
day lives."

Powell County Superintendent Lonnie Morris
said the grant would open many doors for his stu-
dents. and hopefully improve their math skills.

“We are honored that we were selected to par-
ticipate. We are very appreciative of [I K reach-
ing out to enhance math in Powell County." he
said.

UK has been involved in several outreach ef-
forts in the past. most commonly through target-
ed programs in Eastern Kentucky. such as UK‘s
Appalachian Mathematics and Science Partner—

‘ ship. and the Appalachian Rural Systemic Initia—
‘ tive. according to UK President lice Todd.

“The university is a strong supporter of en-

‘ hancing math skills in rural Eastern Kentucky
‘ This grant places an emphasis on the involve-
. merit of scientists. mathematicians and engi-
- neers in the middle and high school arena. This
' is vitally important for the continued success of
‘ education and economic competitiveness of Ken-

tucky." Todd said in a press release.

The festivities started with a lecture on Lati-

aim of dispelling many misconceptions about
those holidays.

“Many people think that (Tinco de Mayo is like

celebrates Mexico defeating the French in 1862."
said Zeluma Hernandez. a Marketing and Mer-
chandising sophomore. “The Day of the Dead. or
‘Dia De Los Muertos' is more like a remembrance
of the dead than Halloween. You bring their fa-
vorite foods and drink to lost loved ones’ grave-
yard in memory of them."

The event also marked an end of the year to
this year‘s current LASO administration. Next
year Hernandez will take over as president for
the student organization and said she already is
gearing up ideas to help Latinos on campus.

nit viiisuiiicron POST

Please don't tell anyone.
but I kind of liked “Scary
Movie 4." You're not sup-
posed to like sequels, unless
they are “Godfather” se-
quels, and then you can like
only one. But to like a No. 4?
Good Lord, is the man in-
sane, or courageous beyond
description?

Since I have described
myself as “courageous be-
yond description” many
times, it surely must be the
latter.

And the movie may be a
No. 4 in official sequence,
but it’s actually a No. 2 in
pedigree. That is because
the first two films of the
franchise were Wayans pro-
ductions, the genius-family
- Keenen Ivory, Shawn and
Marlon ~— that created “In
Living Color” and un-
leashed Jennifer Lopez on
the world. But by No. 3, the
Wayans DNA had vanished
and the direction moved to
Jerry Zucker, co-co-creator
of such laugh-dense nut-
fests as “Airplane!” and
“Naked Guns 1.2 1/2 and 3.“

So “Scary Movie 4” is a
Zucker thing. with nary a
Wayans in sight. The Zuck-
er formula is somewhat
more free-form than the
Wayans way The Wayans
films sent up and closely fol-
lowed the teen slasher for-
mula: a gaggle of comely
adolescents in a deserted lo-
cation being hunted down
and extinguished, one by
one. by a madman. The fast
die first, the kids always
split up, the car won‘t start,
and finally, only the virgin
remains.

Zucker and his writer,
Craig Mazin (Jim Abra-

Soary Movie 4:
Not a bad sequel

Zucker’s latest packs a bundle of

we Dig“ laughs—but it’s no ‘Naked Gun’

hams, a longtime Zucker
collaborator, pitched in), go
nuttier; they don’t limit
themselves to one genre but
basically rumble and bum.
ble all over the place, pri-
marily targeting four films
but dipping into this or that
when it amuses them. Or it
doesn’t even have to be
movies: One plot strand
plays with the image of a
slightly challenged Ameri-
can president dealing with
a national security crisis
while listening to a chil-
dren's book about a duck be-
ing read to second-graders.
His aides have trouble
pulling him away: “I want
to see how it ends," he says.

The main targets are
Steven Spielberg's “War of
the Worlds," Takashi
Shimizu’s “The Grudge,”
Ang Lee’s “Brokeback
Mountain,” James Wan’s
“Saw” and M. Night Shya-
malan’s “The Village.” (The
film’s lowest moment is a
pointless, humorless sendup
of “Million Dollar Baby”)

Combining such dis-
parate story lines, of
course, leads to much un-
avoidable stupidity. What is
the suburban Tokyo haunt-
ed house of “The Grudge"
doing next to the Bayonne,
N.J., dockworker’s house of
“War of the Worlds,” and
why, when people are
sucked into the invading
alien pod machines of
“War,” do they find them-
selves in the scummy bath-
room of “Saw”? 0n the oth-
er hand, if anyone strenu-
ously objects to these on
logical grounds, maybe that
person needs a drink, a life
and a nap.

The film opens with
what may be its best gag, or
maybe it‘s just that I en-

joyed watching Dr. Phil saw
his own leg off a little too
much. Dr. Phil- and
Shaquille O‘Neal (together
at last!) find themselves
chained together in that
scuzzy men’s room. In order
to free themselves, Shaq has
to hit a free throw! Now,
when I write it, it just lies
there on the page like a de-
scription of sodium turning
to black goo when heated in
a Bunsen burner flame, but
it’s very funny on-screen.

That’s from “Saw." Soon
we‘re switching back and
forth between a parody of
“The Grudge," in which
longtime “Scary Movie" vet
Anna Faris is trying to take
care of Cloris Leachman
while a little boy in mas-
cara keeps popping out of
the woodwork, and a parody
of “War of the Worlds” set
next door, in dockworker
Craig Bierko’s house, where
alien pod-machines are de-
stroying New Jersey. I can’t
really remember how “The
Village" came into it, but
soon enough Faris and an-
other “Scary” vet, Regina
Hall, have wandered into a
19th-century village that
must be just off the New
Jersey Turnpike, where Bill
Pullman is doing quite an
amusing turn in the
William Hurt role and Chris
Elliott is drooling away as
Adrien Brody.

“Scary Movie 4” never
takes you close to death by
laughter, as the “Naked
Gun" films did, that zone of
oxygen deprivation where
your life flashes before your
eyes and turns out to be so
boring you almost pass out.

But it’s funny enough to
turn the hands on your
watch much more quickly
than you can believe.

union organization is to re-
cruit members."

In setting up the forum,
Dippery said, he and other
representatives will prepare
to give staffers as big and
clear a picture as possible.

“I hope that what we can
do is present a clear picture
of the pros and the cons of
being in a union," he said.

As for having union rep-
resentatives present for the
forum, Dippery said he has
to check and see if that is
feasible.

“I’m not sure we can (al-
low union representatives to
attend),” Dippery said. “That
might be viewed as solicita—
tion, which is either illegal
or not allowed on campus. I
have to look into that.”

Garkovich said that if

when such a session is held,
union leaders are willing to
be and should be on hand.

“If they want an accurate
statement as to what we are,
we should be the ones giving
it," he said. “I’m certain
their depiction of unionism
will be very self-serving.”

Meanwhile, Williams
said staff representatives
have questioned what mes-
sage a forum will send.

“The question was
‘Would it look like we were
endorsing the unions if we
sponsored an information fo
rum?’ " he said.

Though it was decided
that would not be the mes-
sage sent, one overall ques-
tion still remains.

“I guess it’s just trying to
decide what response, if any,
the tstafl) senate should have
(to the unions)," he said.

oratory

Lars Bjork, director of
UK’s Institution for Educa-
tional Research, said the lab-
oratory will assess the needs
of students in Kentucky, Ten-
nessee, Virginia and West
Virginia by conducting re-
search. The goal is to in-
crease standardized test
scores for disadvantaged
children in the region and to
give them the opportunities
in less disadvantaged re-
gions.

UK joins the partnership
with the University of Vir-
ginia and several other orga-
nizations in the project
through Congress’ 2002 No
Child Left Behind Act to put
together one of 10 similar
labs nationwide.

A major goal is to place
an added emphasis on creat-
ing a more successful ele-

mentary and high school en-
vironment though continued
research.

“Once they have a full
blown plan, (research) would
be managed by the universi-
ty,” said Bjork.

Bjork said that AREL is
still in its organizational
phase and has no timetable
yet to begin work, with facili-
ties being coordinated pri-
marily at UK.

“We will use our own fa-
cilities,” Bjork said.

Once early planning is
complete, UK’s faculty will
be able to participate in as-
sessments of regional educa-
tion needs as well as plan-
ning research activities. and
Bjork said collaboration with
other research facilities will
create more opportunities for
children in the Appalachian
region.

“It gives us an opportuni-
ty to work with many oth-
ers." said Bjork.

Diversity task force wants
suggestions taken seriously

3y carnal Shela
THE KENTUCKY [MEL

The Task Force on Diver-
sity and Racial Equality will
be paying special attention to
accountability on all fronts in
addressing its goals, said task
force members at its meeting
last Thursday.

Task force members said
its recommendations must be
heard and that administra~
tors must stay aware of the
problems and possible solu-
tions in order for UK to be
held accountable on diversity
issues.

“At the end of the day, is-
n‘t (accountability) the real
challenge?" said William
Turner. chairman of the task
force. “We do want to see
some action come out of
this."

Ron Eller, a history profes-
sor and member of the task
force. said he would like to
see deans of the various col-
leges kept in the loop on what
concerns members of the fac-
ulty have, even though mem-
bers of the task force have not
finished interviewing black
faculty members and hearing
their side of the story

“It seems to me there‘s
some utility in getting the
deans and other administra—
tors thinking about this even
at this stage," Eller said. “I
would be in favor of going to
the deans with what we‘ve got

so far, if for no other reason
than to get them familiar
with these issues.”

Gathering the data itself
is important because it will
shed light on the current at-
mosphere at the university.

“You may have heard the
world is made up of atoms
and molecules, but it’s really
made up of stories,“ Turner
said. “When you sit with an
individual that's been here,
you can give quantitative data
a qualitative overlay"

Turner also said the
deans play a large role and
this information can make a
difference in their actions.

“Ultimater it’s the (de-
partment) chairs and deans
who are accountable in hiring
and promoting people," Turn-
er said.

Carol Jordan, director of
the Center for Research on Vi-
olence Against Women and a
member of the task force,
said constant reminders of
the issues will have a positive
effect.

“That puts the issue in
front of the deans several
times, which is helpful," Jor-
dan said.

Russ Williams, staff rep-
resentative to the Board of
Trustees and task force mem-
ber. said he also believes that
older recommendations on di-
versity made by previous
groups need to be re—exam-

1n“At some point, I think it
would be very telling to pull
all those recommendations to
gether, see which ones have
been made, which have been
acted on and which ones, sad~
ly, have not been acted on,"
Williams said.

Knowing what has been
done in the past will help the
task force focus its efforts on
new issues.

“This task force does not
need to repeat work that’s al-
ready been done,” Williams
said. “I don’t want to reinvent
the wheel.”

Williams said he would
like to put emphasis on using
older ideas that still have
merit.

“I think I‘ll probably find
good ideas that at the time
couldn‘t find a good champi-
on for their implementation,"
he said.

Williams also said he
thinks this time the ideas and
recommendations will be put
to good use because of the
strong emphasis UK Presi-
dent Lee Todd has put on di-
versity.

“I’m trusting (Todd) at his
word, that these recommen-
dations will be taken serious-
ly,” Williams said. “That’s the
reason the task force exists."

Turner agreed.

Administration's waning popularity
could have effect on midterm election

By Charles Babinqton
THE WASHINGTON POST

WASHINGTON —— Intense
and widespread opposition to
President Bush is likely to be
a sharp spur driving voters to
the polls in this fall’s midterm
elections. according to strate-
gists in both parties, a phe-
nomenon that could give De-
mocrats a turnout advantage
over Republicans for the first
time in recent years.

Polls have reflected voter
discontent with Bush for
many months. but as the elec-
tion nears operatives are pay-
ing special attention to one
subset of the numbers. It is
the wide disparity between
the number of people who are
passionate in their dislike of
Bush versus those who sup-
port him with equal fervor

Lately. there have been a
lot more of the former _ and
even Republicans acknowl-
edge that could spell trouble
in closely contested congres~
sional races.

“Angry voters turn out
and vote their anger." said
Glen Bolger. a pollster for sev-
