KENTUCKY KERNEL

 

CELEBRATING 35 YEARS OF INDEPENDENCE

 

UK professor named to state psych review board

By Shannon Mason
smason©kykernelcom

A UK professor was recently appointed to
the Kentucky Board of Examiners of Psycholo—
gy by Gov. Ernie Fletcher.

William Elder. an associate professor in the
department of family and community medicine
in UK's College of Medicine. was appointed to
the board in September and will serve until
2010.

Elder said the board meets monthly in
Frankfort and hears complaints from the public.

“Some people write in just to say. ‘My psy—
chologist did this. ls it right or wrong?‘ " Elder
said. “Others call for testimony and we decide
whether to hear it.“

The board verifies that psychologists are
qualified and follow laws that govem the prac-
tice.

Board hopefuls can nominate themselves or
be nominated by peers for consideration. Elder
said. Members of the profession vote to select a
smaller group out of the nominations and then
that group is presented to a representative from
the state‘s Cabinet of Health Services.

“They‘re actually looking for a balance in
political affiliation.“ Elder said. “They ask
what party you belong to and then investigate
you to make sure you are of sound mind and
character. Then they recommend you to the
governor. and you‘re appointed.”

The board consists of 10 members — nine
professionals and one non-psychologist public
representative.

Elder is not the only member affiliated with
UK. Diane Sobel. a senior staff psychologist at
UK’s Counseling and Testing Center. is also on
the board.

Elder said the UK community is one reason
he is able to serve.

“I wouldn‘t be able to do it without the sup—
port of my boss and my colleagues." Elder
said.

Elder said his new position was another
way he can help the public.

"I see this as an example of one of the types
of service UK staff and faculty can provide for
the people of Kentucky.” he said. “It‘s an ex-
ample of many types of service people do that
is supported by the University of Kentucky."

 

National
search for
research VP
begins

By Juliann Vachon
news@kykernel.com

The search committee for the new vice
president for research position is looking
for “outstanding candidates" in a national
search that is now under way.

The vice president for research will be
the senior administrator responsible for the
supervision and coordination of research
and will play a key leadership role in pur-
suing UK‘s goal of becoming a Top-20 re—
search institution. Provost Kumblc Sub-
baswamy said in an e-mail to all faculty
and staff yesterday.

Research is one of the primary mis-
sions of UK. Subbaswamy said.

UK spokesperson Jay Blanton said that
while people sometimes get the impression
that research is isolated from other areas of
the university. it is “inextricably linked" to
points of interest outlined in the Top-20
business plan and the strategic plan. includ—
ing teaching. undergraduate and graduate
leaming. and public engagement.

The university has been moving toward
a system where the entire academic model
reports to the provost. and this position will
have a direct line of communication with
Subbaswamy. Blanton said.

“I think that you find that a lot of insti—
tutions. particularly the ones that we are
modeling ourselves after. report their re-
search efforts directly to the provo. .t
Blanton said

Blanton said the search committee. led
by chemical engineering Professor Kim
Anderson and rheumatology Professor
Leslie Crofford. will be responsible for
finding a candidate qualified to meet the
standards listed in the job description.

“Provost Subbaswamy is someone who
moves quickly." Blanton said. "This is a
very important position. and he has indicat-
ed to the search committee the importance
of moving fast to find the best person pos-
sible for the job."

Journalism profs book
gets national attention

Photographer aims to
reach students, subjects

By Brad Luke

Letcher County. w here shc used pho-
tography as a means of education

B_y_ Brittney Jennings
newsauky. edu

After four years of work. joumal—
ism Professor Richard Labunski re-
leased a book earlier this year that led
to a phone call from Ed McMahon
last week.

The book has garnered national at-
tention that has included McMahon's
radio show and Esquire Magazine.
which called Labunski‘s work the
“Big Important Book of the Year."

“James Madison and the Struggle
for the Bill of Rights." published in
July 2006. chronicles the efforts of
James Madison to get the Bill of
Rights written and added to the Con-
stitution.

Madison was more of a quiet. be-
hind the scenes politician. not as out-
spoken as his counterparts. Labunski
wrote. Madison thought it necessary
to add individual rights to the Consti-
tution because the American people
wanted them. Madison struggled to
overrule his opponent. Patrick Henry.
on the issue and eventually won the
debate — but it was no easy task.

“We. in this country. take the First

Amendment for granted." said Mike
Farrell. journalism professor and di-
rector of UK's First Amendment Cen—
ter. “It has always been there and al-
ways will be there. This book makes it
clear that Patrick Henry and others
came very close to undoing our whole
constitutional system."

Labunski said even though his
book has been on store shelves for
four months. it still monopolizes
much of his schedule.

“The success of the book has re—
quired a substantial time commitment
in promoting it." he said. “But it is
well worth it."

Since writing the book. Labunski
said it has been very exciting to see
the outcome. Aside from Esquire and
McMahon‘s radio show. Labunski has
also done several other radio inter-
views and book signings. appeared on
KET. and been mentioned in many
newspapers around the country.

Labunski sent the book to all nine
Supreme Court Justices and received
letters back from five of them thank-
ing him.

The book has also been reviewed
by such publications as The New York

‘Flrst issue has. Subsequent issues 15 cents.

Times and The New York Review of
Books.

“With Labunski‘s book we now
have a very readable and reliable nar—
rative of how Madison gave birth to
the Bill of Rights.“ said Gordon
Wood. a professor at Brown Universi-
ty who wrote the review for The New
York Review' of Books. Labunski
publishes such review excerpts on his
Web site.

Not only has it received positive
feedback from critics and readers. but
also from professors here at UK

For photographer Wendy Ewald.

reaching out to her subjects is just as
important as taking their picture.

Ewald. who is best known in
Kentucky for her photographic work
in Letcher County. Ky'.. was the sec~
ond guest lecturer this semester in
the Robert C. May Photography En—
dowment Lecture Series on Friday
The series is sponsored by the UK
Art Museum. where some of Ewald s
work is on display.

Janie Welkcr. the curator of ex-
hibits at the museum. said that in
scheduling different guest lecturers.
the university tries to find people
who have varied styles and address
different topics through their work.

Selecting Ewald wasn't a difficult
decision for Welker.

“l thought it was interesting that
she got her start in Kentucky." Welk-
er said. “I found it very interesting
the way she uses photography as a
form of education."

In the 1970s. Ewald began work-
ing in Appalachia. specifically in

with grade-school—aged children.

“I thought a lot about kids and
how we leam to see how our institu-
tions teach us to see." Ewald said.

Ewald said that she sees the work
she did in Letcher County as a col-
laboratiye effort. She wanted the
children to take pictures of them~
selves and the world around them.

Ewald often takes portraits of
young people and teaches them how
to take their own photos as well. Her
most recent work was a series of 16.
by-lO—foot portraits of children liv»
ing in Margatc. England as refugees,

The collection. titled “The
Promised Land." is one example of
how Ewald‘s work focuses not only
on the subject she is photographing
but on the interaction with that sub-
ject.

“The Promised Land" was a col-
laborative effort. Ewald would take a
photo of the child's face and one of
the back of his or her head. and then
she would ask the child to take a pic-
ture of the things they brought with

‘II'IE DESI-I

Even though their honey-
moon has been over for nearly
four months. Pamela Anderson
and Kid Rock still seemed like
newlyweds as they shared a
leisurely. hourlong breakfast at
their regular hangout. Coogie's
Beach Cafe Malibu. in Califor-
nia November 20. Rock. 35.
leaned back in his chair and
laughed as his wife. 39. playful-
ly told him to be careful. "When
they got up to leave. Kid Rock
grabbed Pam's butt and she gig-
gled." says an observer. "They
seemed really happy."

But as with all things Kid
and Pam. unpredictable behav~
ior is the nomi. Only a week af—
ter their animated PDA. four
days after spending Thanksgiv—
ing together at Anderson's house
in Malibu. and one day after at-
tending a San Diego Chargers
game in tandem. both filed for
divorce within minutes of each
other November 27. citing "ir—
reconcilable differences." (An—
derson listed her date of separa-
tion as November 21; Rock as
November 26.) A‘posting on An-
derson's official Web site read
simply: "Divorce: Yes it's true."

Those close to the two - who
had a sporadic five—year ro—
mance. finally tying the knot in
St-Tropez. France. July 29. and
then two more times in Beverly
Hills and Nashville — weren't en-
tirely surprised that they called it
quits after just IZI days of mar-
riage.

"She was married to a rock
star. so what can you expect?"
says Heatherette's Traver Rains

 

 

(who designed Anderson's crys-
tal-studded wedding dress). And
some are actually overjoyed by
the news. notably Anderson's
ex-husband. Tommy Lee. 44.
with whom she has two sons
(Dylan. 8. and Brandon, 10).
"Tommy is completely thrilled
that Pam's marriage is over.“ a
source close to Lee tells Us. "He
never thought Kid was good
enough for her and knew the
union wouldn't last." (Lee's rep
had no comment.)

Why didn't it last? Though
Anderson's friends say the mar-
riage was plagued with prob-
lems. the most devastating blow
may have been Anderson's No-
vember 9 announcement that
she had suffered a miscarriage
while filming the movie Blonde
and Blonder in Vancouver. After
that. says a source close to the
actress. "she saw no reason to
hold on anymore."

Still. Anderson is staying
mum. "I can't control what peo-
ple are going to say. but my No.
1 concern is that our kids are
protected and none of what hap—
pened has any impact on them."
she tells Us exclusively. (Rock's
rep had no comment.)

Jealousy Issues

Tension between the two
had been brewing for a while. A
source close to the actress tells
Us that "the beginning of the
end" came in late October at a
private screening of Borat: Cul—
tural Leamings of America for
Make Benefit Glorious Nation
of Kazakhstan (in which Ander-

Why Pam and
Kid Rock split

Following 727 days together, Anderson and
Rock file for divorce after verbal abuse —

son stars as herself) at Unive ‘al
Studios President/CEO Ron
Meyer‘s house. According to the
pal. Rock grabbed Anderson and
stormed out of the screening
room after he saw the scene
(spoiler alert!) where Borat fi-
nally watches Anderson's infa-
mous sex tape with Lee and re-
alizes that his dream girl isn‘t a
”virgin."

"Kid stood outside scream—
ing at Pam. calling her the worst
words - slut. whore. you name
it." says the source. "It was hor-
rible. and she was just so hurt by
it." A source close to Rock con-
firms the incident. saying. "Yes.
he was angry. He thought it was
cheap that she put something
like that out there. He didn't see
the humor."

It wasn't the first jealous out-
burst. During the first week of
November. while Anderson was
filming in Vancouver. Lee was
due in town for the Gemini
Awards and was scheduled to
stay at her hotel.

"When Kid heard. he flipped
out." says an Anderson insider.
"He said he was going to fly to
Vancouver when Tommy would
be there."

Instead of Lee making the
trip out, Anderson joined him in
Malibu November 4 to check
out son Dylan's soccer game.
Rock came to the game as well.
but he wasn't exactly in good
cheer. "It was clear there were
problems." says an observer.
"He said hi to Tommy but they
didn't associate much. Kid was
standing on his own."

TV on the Radio . ..
Return to Cookie Mountain

“Return to Cookie Moun—
tain" is unabashedly baffling. So
baffling that the group doesn‘t fit
into a particular category.

TV on the Radio‘s sopho—
more full length has been de-
scribed as everything from hip-
hop. to psychedelic, to shoegaz-
ing (a Britrock movement from
the late ‘80s and early ‘90s that
emphasized noisy. wall-of—sound

vocalists.

 

guitars). to some form of post—
rock. I‘ve even heard someone
call the group the world's first
black noise hand.

So how does one categorize
an album this transcendent?

A truly great work cannot be
put into a box.

"Return to Cookie Moun-
tain" is essentially a pop record.
albeit a very demented form of it.
Each song travels mid-tempo.
with squelching walls of noisy.
droning guitar over layers of per-
cussion, and the sound of three
The three. lead by
Tunde Adebimpe. have the sound
range from HR. (of Bad Brains)

Best of '06:.TV on Radio takes top honor

to Mark E. Smith (of the Fall) to
doo-wop to something entirely
different. Oh, and lest we forget
that “Province" features David
Bowie very subtly in the back-
ground.

Though hypnotic and cohe-
sive, TV on the Radio has an
amazing range. Songs like “Wolf
Like Me" and “Blues From
Down Here“ let the complex,
repetitive textures take a back-
seat to the syncopated, vocal in-
terplay between Kyp Malone’s
tenor and Tunde’s call to arms.
"Wash Away“ is a flushed
around. intensifying single sitar
drone that builds to an analog

monstrosity. and “l was a Lover"
brings the acid rock with mighty
force. Every song in between
consistently melts the brain.

Like Radiohead‘s ”OK Com-
puter“ and Talking Heads' “Re-
main in Light" before it. “Return
to Cookie Mountain" is the type
of record that raises the bar for
everyone. musically and cultural-
ly. People will be scratching their
heads about this one for years to
come. if aliens do make contact
with Earth, it will be to come and
return TV on the Radio back to
outer space. If this album is any
indication. it‘s probably where
they want to set up shop anyway.

 

 

Six Organs of
Admittance
“The Sun
Awakens”

Like the ec-
centric John Fa-
hey in the ‘60s
and ‘70s. Ben
Chasney (aka.
Six Organs of

 

 

 

Admittance)
specializes in the marriage of world music with
electric psychedelic folk.

His latest East-meets-West full-length album
sees Six Organs focusing while still maintaining
the free—flowing drones that were a watermark on
his earlier LPs. The instrumental "Attar" summons
a full attack of Japanese and Brazilian psychedelia
(a la Os Mutantes). while “Bless Your Blood" is a
graceful. crescendo-reaching. pulsating epic that is
equal parts Tyrannosaurus Rex (his psych. pre-T
Rex moniker) and Mogwai circa “Rock Action."
Mix these elements with tribalAstyle percussion.
and "The Sun Awakens" becomes a primordial
psychedelic behemoth.

Heartless Bastards
“All This Time"

When you first hear Erika Wennerstrom’s vo-
cals for the first time, it's cathiutic. Somewhere in
between a weathered blues woman. P.J. Harvey.
and something altogether theatric. Cincinnati's
Heartless Bastards make other garage—rock—influ—
enced collectives sound utterly lackluster.

Despite being on a blues label (Fat Possum).
Heartless Bastards are not really blues. and "All
This Time" weaves through the American music
experience subtly but substantially. Their huge.
warm guitar interplay is anything but minimal.
coming off more like Built to Spill than fellow
Ohioans the Black Keys. The song "i Swallowed a
Dragonfly." which has a concurrence of strings
next to gritty. fuzzy melodies. is nothing less than
urgent and majestic. "Valley of Debris" and “No
Pointing Arrows." however. really showcase the
aching. booming quality of Wennerstrom‘s vocals.

Heartless Bastards are a beautiful. juxtaposed
concoction of the soaring and the sludgy. all while
keeping the pace driving and sweeping.

Mr. Lil

cal hip—hop of

KRS-One and Boogie Down Productions. As
part of the Definitive Jux collective (along with
El—P. who turns the knobs on Lif‘s latest). Mr.
Lif has a similar. laid-back yet unpredictable dc»
livery that defines the underground label‘s mis~
sion. However. artist Lif remains the most accr—
bic in his prose. targeting everyone from the
FCC chairman to McDonald‘s. all while laying
the throat work over traditional beats and frantic
samples.

Mr. Lif is the type of indie hip-hop artist
who is bizarre enough to keep it interesting yet
subdued enough to not offend even the most stri-
dent of hip-hop purists.

spooky. with roots of Americana that no one can
touch. I love this woman.

"it is an extremely well-written
and researched book. and a fascinat-
ing story." Farrell said. "It‘s amaz-
ing that 215 years after the ratifica—
tion of the Bill of Rights. one of the
two or three most important docu-
ments in our history. that someone
finally has written the full story of
how James Madison fought to pro-
tect our most basic rights in the
Constitution."

Labunski has been teaching
First Amendment law for 25 years
at Pennsylvania State University.
the University of Washington and
UK. He decided to write the book
because after teaching this subject
for so long. he wondered about the
inner workings behind the creation
of the First Amendment. The more
he researched. the more interested
he became.

He said he wanted to paint a
picture a picture for the readers.
which required an immense amount
of research.

“The story comes alive in this
book." Labunski said. “It is not just
what people said or did. It‘s about
how they looked. how they traveled.
what New York City looked like
when members of the First Con-

like what you see?

The book required so much
work that Labunski took a sabbati—
cal in the spring of 2006 — each
faculty member is allowed one
every six years — to put the finish—
ing on the work.

Labunski has written four other
books. This release was part of the
publishing series. "Pivotal Moments
in American History." printed by
Oxford Press.

“People who have read the book
have said they are surprised that
such a great story has not been told
before." he said. “One blogger said
it should be made into a movie."

Labunski has a new book in the
works. also about the founding peri-
od.

“it is just in its earliest stages."
he said. "But I can say that the book
will break new ground in the way
that it discusses the most important
individuals and events of the found—
ing period."

But as for “James Madison and
the Struggle for the Bill of Rights."
Labunski described his experience
as fun. exciting. and interesting.

“This book tells the story of
how this shy man with a quiet voice
overcame onc obstacle after another
to give us the Bill of Rights." he
said.

them to England that are most important to them.
Ewald used the images as a starting point for inter-
viewing the children about their experiences as
refugees.

"Even when she's taking a portrait. she still wants
them involved in making decisions on how they will
be portrayed." Welker said of Ewaid's ability to coir
ncct with the subjects of her photographs.

Students who attended the lecture on Friday re~
ceived a preview of the work that went on exhibit at
the UK Art Museum on Nov. l7. The exhibit will run
through Jan. 7. 2006.

 

“l really liked the concept of looking at refugees
and how she was able to not only interact with them.
btit how she was able to use their photographs to gain
awareness of their situation." said Adam Johnson. in
journalism senior. of the work Iiwald did in Margatc.

Samples of the work fiwaid is best known for will
also be on display in the LR Art Museum.

Kristen Sullivan. a journalism junior. enjoycd thc
distinctive perspective from the children‘s Pilti~
tographs.

"i really liked the idea of looking at the world
through a kid's cycs." Sullivan said.

The common relationship betw ccn i;\\ald and the
children she worked with was something that would
appeal to UK students. Welker said.

"i don't see her as an adult looking down at chil»
dren. but instead she sees them its equals." Welker
said. "She learns from them just as much .is she [cach—
cs them."
