l'K has not established a campus-wide initia»

spokeswoman (iail Hairston.

According to a report hour the l'K Purchasing
Department. the unnersity spent $1 million on pa»
per during its last fiscal year.

The report included all paper purchases made
with uni\ersity‘ lands. including the l'K Chandler

The biggest use of paper was in the lnl‘tH'lll‘d’

The idea to eliminate paper schedule hooks ltas

"Between not printing schedule books and tin;

Sculpture to

ksalf} Lkahetthl Lot".

A new sculpture in the l'K \rt Museum sculp
turc garden is aiming to use coal to relate Ken
lucky and some Alrican cultures

The sculpture. “Coal l’ot.” was designed by
contemporary artist l~l .'\ll;ll\lll. who was a \ isiting
artist at Us in 304R While he was on tampus. he
had the idea loi a sculpture that could connect the
African and Kentuckian e\perienees with coal.

"This piece ielers to his own culture. of cook—

portaiit to Kentucky culture." said .lanie Welkcr.

known for using recyclal‘tlc materials. Welker said.
and this piece is made of an iron “cauldron" that
will contain “massive pieces of coal."

The coal was donated by lkerd Coal. Welker
said the coal will slowly disintegrate and fall
through the cup. which represents another aspect
of the piece.

”It also relates to nature." she said. "The coal
will decay over time so the work has duality."

The coal will eventually need to be replaced.
btit not for decades. "if not longer.” W‘lker said.

The iron fixture was cast by lfK associate pro—
fessor of sculpture Garry Bihb. Funding for the
project came from collaboration between the Art
Museum and the Us Art Department.

Parking tickets from game voided

gyjosalind Essig
ressrg’ kykemelcom

Citations given during Sunday‘s volley
ball match have been voided. the director of
Parking and 'I‘ransportation Services said
Monday.

The I78 total parking citations would
have cost their holders $25 each. but alter
lTK volleyball head coach Craig Skinner of~
fered to pay for the tickets personally. l'K
Athletics and UK Parking and Transporta~
tion Services worked together to find a solu—
tion. said Don Thornton. Director of UK
Parking and Transportation Services.

“I‘m glad we have a great working rela-
tionship with Parking so we can solve these
issues and fans won't have these problems
next time they want to attend one of our
events." Skinner said.

The total amount for l78 parking cita-
tions would have cost $4.450. Skinner said
even though the citations have been voided.
he would have kept his word to pay for tick-
ets despite the large number.

“l didn't really care (about the cost)." he
said. "1 just appreciate our fans support."

Thomton said the large turnout for the

Testing UK’

volleyball match. combined With attendees
for the UK Band Spectacular the same day
at the Singletary Center. meant more cars
needed to park in the area than originally
expected. That type of situation would nor—
mally call for a parking control officer to di«
rect visitors. Thomton said.

"1 think that if we have a controlled
event it works out better for everyone." he
said.

When a parking control officer directs
parking. they can judge how many cars can
be allowed to park in the RI parking lot
without blocking permit-holding students.
Thonttoii said.

“Otherwise when students come back
from visiting home or part time jobs they re-
ally don‘t have a good alternative." Thorn—
ton said.

Signs at the entrances to the RI lot state
it is reserved for Rl permits and no event
parking is permitted. Residential parking
permits such as those for R1 cost $232 per
year. according to the Parking and Trans—
portation Services Web site.

Some fans from the season—record
crowd at Sunday‘s volleyball game were
ticketed behind the Joe Craft Center in the

RI parking lot. which is marked with “No
event parking" signs. Some of the cars had
UK permits. Just not the correct ones for
that lot. The THUJOTH) of the cars ticketed
had no permits at all.

Sunday's crowd was over 3500. but the
E lots available for event parking near Md
morial Coliseum were not completely full
when they were checked that day and the R
lots need to be protected for students. said
Rodney Stiles. an assistant athletic director
with event management.

Thoniton said even though he could see
where confusion could occur because it was
a game day. he felt the signs are clear.

"I don’t see how you can miss those
signs." Thornton said. ”I think the message
on the sign is simple to understand.”

Though she does not haye time to go to
many sporting events. social work sopho
more Ashley Howell said her boyfriend and
parents ha\e had problems parking for [K
events.

"I think the parking at l'K sucks. espe-
cially when you want to have \isitors. be?
cause there‘s no real \ isitors lots or there's
street parking that‘s always full.” Howell
said.

against ranked opponents. But ultimately

Cats a bid into the 48—team tournament. said
Bob Bradner. editor of the College Soccer

In 2000. the Cats were ranked

A religions clash in the Middle liasi
will be disctissed on campus Tuesday
iiighi at an event sponsored by the Inter
faith Dialogue Organization.

"Jewish-Muslim Dialogue Problems
and Possibilities." will be held in the
Wfl'. Young Library Auditorium at 5:30
pm. ”)0 President Mehmet Saracoglu
wanted to organi/e this event because he
said it is uiiportant for people to under
stand the problems that followers from
the two religions face. especially iii the
Middle liast. atid an open dialogue
riiight help find ways to solve these
problems.

"Coming together as a comiininity is
the most important thing for Jews and
Muslims." he said,

Saracoglu said this issue is especially
important to him personally as a Muslim.

"I am a Muslim and have never been

to Jemsaleiu. which is a holy land for us
too." he said. "I would like to see the
problems resolved in the Middle East
because the city is holy to all three Abra-
hamic religions "

Mehri Niknam is the founder and
executive director of the Joseph lnter—
faith Foundation for the Muslim and
Jewish religions. and will speak at the
event. She said her interest in studying
the two religions came from growing up
in Iran with her Jewish faith.

“As an Iranian Jew. I loved the cul-
ture of my country. and my introduction
to Islam was most positive and welcom—
ing." she said.

This event should help students look
beyond what they see in the CS. and re—
ali/e there is a clash in the Middle East
between the two religions. Saracoglu
said.

"It is important to understand that
we may not see problems in the US. be—

tween these two religions because they
are living and working together peace—
fully." Saracoglu said, "But if you turn
your head to the Middle East you can
see some problems that need resolving

Ibrahim Kalin will also speak at the

natories of the “Common Word between

The auditorium of the
WT. Young Library was
packed Monday night for a
presentation of "Los Hilos
del Trueiio" and a discitssioii
with the filmmaker.

“Los Hijos del Trueno."
which in linglish means
"Children of Thunder." is a
documentary that focused on
the surfacing of drug traffick-
ing in indigenous commuiii~
ties in Colombia. After the
Colombian coffee market
opened to international coin-
petition. a fall in coffee
prices. which was the main
source of revenue for indige—
nous groups. opened the
doors for the cultivation of
poppy.

Drug traffickers trade
arms with indigenous farmers
for poppy. which can be
grown for opium. Farmers iii

coffee said that the price of

Juana Suarel. the event
organizer. said she wanted to
use the event to raise aw are-
ness about the problems
farmers in Colombia are facA
ing. Suarel. an assistant pro-
fessor of Spanish and Latin
American film and visual cul-
ture. said she chose this film
because it pertains to current
problems in Colombia even
though it is In years old.

“We wanted to make a
connection." Suarez said

Through a translator.
filmmaker Marta Rodriguel.
explained that the drug traf-
ficking problem is even
worse now. The government
is using pesticides to kill the
poppies and indigeiiotis farm~
ers are struggling without that
crop.

"These indigenous groups
are walking to Bogota to
demonstrate." Rodrigtie/
said. "With this new war. we
have lh’ indigenous commu-
nities about to disappear."

Rodrigue/ said she would
return to Bogota. Colombia.
her homeiow ii and the capital
of her country. on liriday to
document the current liappeir
ings.

Alice Driver. a Spanish
teaching assistant. said she
thought it was interesting
how both the American gov-
ernment and the Colombian
government appro\ ed the rise
of harmful pesticides to kill
the poppy crops.

"These pesticides also kill
indigenous people who live
in these areas." Driver said.

Rodriguez said the fumi~
gation is also causing defoi‘»
mattons.

“A lot ot children are dy-
ing at birth.” she said.

farmers in the film urged
viewers to look at the big pic-
ture. including drug con-
sumption in .‘s'orth America
and litirope. Suare/ said she

"When we actually need

Many professors require

said. but if students did not

Speaker: Kentucky must deer use coal use

Jennifer Graham

Thomas l-it/(ierald kicked off the
sustainability lecture series in Worsham
Theater Monday night. discussing the
state of Kentucky is environmental future
and what can be done to reduce the eco
logical footprint.

“Sustainability is every where today
Fit/(Jerald said. "But there is no Ctilti»
mon definition of what sustainability
means."

Fit/.Crerald. who is director of the
Kentucky Resources Council. said sus
taittability is meeting the needs of the
present \vithotit compromising the fu
ture.

“Simply put. it can be described :is
mindful living." Fit/Gerald said.

FitI.(.ierald discussed Kentucky‘s
seemingly large environmental footprint
as he described the state's dependency
on fossil fuels.

"Kentucky is 9% percent dependent
on fossil fuels for energy." l-it/(ierald
said. "Kentucky is ground Iero for glob
al warming."

Kentucky is a hot bed for coal use
and carbon dioxtde emissions because it
is IllC\[‘rCfl\l\'C. he said. and Kentucky's
energy bills are low because the energy
companies do not focus on efficiency.

“There are 20 pltis states that have
lower electric bills because we are
wasteful." he said. “There is a low iii—
vestmeiit in conservation and efficiency.
It lost out to the idea ot more cheap pro
duction,"

\Vhile K'entucky‘s dependency on
coal will remain. it cotild eventually turn
from coal to coal gastficatioti. which
might not be a permanent solution.
l-‘it/(iei'ald said.

"Men with coal gasificatiori. you
still have carbon dioxide emissions." he
said. “You have to figure otit where to
put that carbon dioxide. ()nly so inticli

can go underground oi in thc ocean.”
During his lecture. l’it/tierald dis

cussed the myth that the opportunity for

renewable energy is limited in Kentucky.

"We have as much effective stiiilight
as Germany." he said "We also have by -
droelectric power potential as well as
wind power."

Matt Kramci. an l‘ngllsll education
junior. attended the lecture and said he
thought Kentucky would not be breaking
away from coal energy in the near fu-
titre.

“No matter w fiat. coal w ill always be
a buffer. and we hav c to accept that. but
still know there are other resources that
can be used." he said.

Fit/(ierald gave two possibilities for
the future of Kcnttrcky"< dependency on
fossil fuels and large amounts of caibon
dioxide emissions.

"We cati do nothing and see an in»
crease in electricity costs. oi we cati take
action." he said.
