thin build and shaggy. dirty blonde hair. The
other accusation is against an unknown suspect.

ment.

“In regards to the recent reports concerning
Sigma Pi Fraternity. we want to ofﬁcially say we

Police Department and the University of Ken-
tucky in resolving these incidents." the state-

ment said.

“Sigma Pi Fraternity absolutely does not
condone any of the accusations that have been
reported. We hope to find out what actually
happened and will do everything in our power
to cooperate to the fullest extent."

use caution when attending parties and events.
These precautions include not accepting food
or drinks from strangers and not leaving drink
or food unattended. being aware of surround-
ings. and carrying a cell phone or another per-
sonal safety device.

The students living in the Sigma Alpha Epsilon
fratcmity house will be looking for new places to
live because of some recently discovered mold. UK
officials said.

“We‘re in the process of cleaning.“ said Gail
Hairston. a UK spokeswoman. “The students will
evacuate while experts clean and repair the cause
(of the mold). It‘s really not safe for them to be in
there (while the cleaning is going on)."

Hairston said 46 students are living in the
house. —_— “‘

The students will have
three weeks to find a new
residence and will most
likely be out of the house
until the beginning of the
spring semester.

Hairston said that UK
is “definitely going to help
them move."

The university will let
the students know where
on-campus housing is
available and students
who decide to move off-campus will be released
from their UK housing contracts. Hairston said.

“We‘re going to find as many on-campus loca-
tions as possible for those who want them." she
said. adding that all students from the SAE house

UK 45, CENTRAL MICHIGAN 36

Despite mistakes, UK holds off Chippewa comeback

According to UK head coach
Rich Brooks. all wins are created

Even if it means giving up 558
yards of total offense and allowing a
team to rally from a 28-7 deficit.

The Cats held on Saturday night.
despite their sloppy play from start
to finish. to beat Central Michigan
45-36 at Commonwealth Stadium in
front of 54.566 fans.

“It‘s a win." Brooks said.
“There‘s no such thing as a bad win.

It's a great win at home and we‘re 3-
O at Commonwealth. Am I happy
about everything? No. I‘m not.“

UK (3—2. 1-1) jumped out to a
21-0 lead behind touchdown catches
from Keenan Burton. Jacob Tamme
and Rafael Little.

The Cats seemed to be on their
way to an easy victory until Dan
LeFevour came in at quarterback to
rescue the Chippewas (2-3).

LeFevour engineered three scor-
ing drives to pull the Chippewas to
28-l7 at the half. He threw two
touchdown strikes and set up a field
goal as time expired in the second
quarter.

But LeFevour shouldn't get all of

the credit.

Defensive coor—
dinator Mike Archer
said his unit lost fo~

assumed the three-
touchdown lead.

“()ur football

“When we scored to make it 28-

going to be. and they were all over
there celebrating. they
thought the game was
over."

The Chippewas
tacked on another
field goal to open up

ing that was followed
by a 42-yard Burton
touchdown reception.

Printing company encourages
students to do it themselves

By John Crowoll
new y erne .com

Cheap art and do-it-yourself ethics was the
subject of the day Friday, as UK’s Visiting Arts
and Scholar’s Series brought the founders of
Brooklyn-based woodblock printing company
Cannonball Press to campus.

Art majors and others packed seats in the
Classroom Building to hear the printmakers’ pre-
sentation.

Michael Houston and Martin Mazorra. co-
founders of the press and collaborators in compo-
sitions, gave the audience an outline of their busi-
ness philosophy and outlook on art.

The two printers established their company in
the mid-19908 as an outlet for New York wood-
block printing artists.

Cheap production. low prices, simplicity and
independence are the tenants of Houston and Ma-
zorra‘s business outlook. The two also have a
specific view when it comes to design; they only
print in black and white.

“The point we want to make is. content
rules.” Mazorra said. “Technique should be ser~
vant to content. Also. black and white serves as a
uniform platform when we work collaboratively.
All the marks are unified into one collective
piece."

“Or maybe we‘re just tyrants," Houston said.

From the start, Houston and Mazorra
preached to students with humor and convicted

advice.

“Always print your own work! Don't pay for
anything! Sell it cheap or give it away! No con-
tract work! Don‘t wait for nothin'!“ were the five
points on a document that the two referred to as
“The Pirate Primer.“ their code of conduct for in-
dependent print-makers.

The pair also gave a background on printing
as an art form and how they became interested in
It.

Both cited 1980‘s punk magazines and fiyers
as early inspiration. They explained that the
crudely lettered and photocopied images of the
DIY (do—it-yourself) punk movement influenced
their art and practice.

An exhibit of Cannonball Press work will be
at the Barnhart Gallery in room 206 of the
Reynolds Building number one through Friday.

Students in the audience were entertained and
encouraged by Houston and Mazorra’s presenta-
tion.

“1 really liked their sense of humor.“ said ju-
nior studio art major Lauren Hutchins. "They
made me think about things I've never thought of
before. in terms of materials and costs."

Derrick Riley. an adjunct professor for studio
art. said that he hoped Houston and Mazorra‘s
ideas would inspire the art students in attendance.

"1 think it‘s good for students to see people
who plug away at a project and do it cheaply. It‘s
good for them to see an alternative option for get-
ting their work out there." said Riley.

EXPLOSION

No one was hurt in the accident.

“There are seven apartments in the building.
five were occupied at the time." Stapleton said.
“We took two tenants to UK hospital just to check
them out."

A small fire followed the explosion but was
put out quickly. The building suffered structural
damage. and all the utilities were disabled. Elec-
tricity was temporarily knocked out for the sur-
rounding area following the blast. The explosion

blown across the street from top story windows af—

Cat's swept in weekend

Volleyball team loses
early lead at home
against No. 10 Florida

By M). Williams
sports@kykernel.com

A defiant Florida team (12-
2. 5-1) outlasted a scare Friday
as UK (9-5. 2-4) pushed the
Gators to five games before
dropping the match 3-2. The
Cats were driven by the roar of
a season—high 3.150 fans in
Memorial Coliseum. the fifth
largest in UK volleyball history.

UK came out poised and de-
termined. dominating Florida in
the first game. The Cats opened
with kills by junior middle
blocker Nicole Britenriker and
freshman middle blocker
Heather Hausfeld. Senior out-
side hitter Melissa Popp served
up an ace that put the Cats up 4-
0 and they never looked back.
winning 30-26.

“We came out with an atti-
tude that we wanted to win,"
said senior defensive specialist
Julie Gagnon. “Florida didn‘t
want it so we took it; we were
hungry."

Six of Hausfeld’s career
high 15 kills came in the first
game after being inserted into

the starting lineup Friday. But
the ﬂames that ignited the Cats
in the first game soon cooled.
During the second and third
games UK more than doubled
the errors committed by Florida
with 25. Florida capitalized on
the mistakes and took command
in the match 2-1.

“It was a little too much of a
roller coaster." head coach Craig
Skinner said.

The match
took its most
drastic course in
game four with
the Cats back
against the wall
trying to force a
fifth game. This
game saw 16 ties
and seven lead
changes. The
fourth ace by UK off of a serve
by Britenriker gave the Cats an
early 4-] lead.

“We had the advantage. and
we deﬁnitely had the energy on
the court." Britenriker said.

Florida came charging back
and gained the momentum.
bringing their lead back to a
two-point advantage 21-19. An-
other kill by Britenriker de-
creased the deficit by one.

Gagnon's dig saved the ball
for freshman setter Sarah Rume—
ly and resulted in a kill by

UK fans in Memorial Coliseum
to their feet providing an emo—

"Give a lot of credit to the
fans. our fans pushed us through

best crowd we‘ve ever had since

fuel UK's growth in the re—
search enterprise.

"We did about $290 mil-
lion iii research last year
alone. the fourth consecutive
year our research efforts have
exceeded $200 million." he
said.

Blanton said that research

is being conducted in areas of

particular interest to Ken-
tucky. such as
education (and) economic de—
velopment."

The fund-raising campaign
started at with the higher edu—
cation reform act. ultimately
becoming a $600 million came

UK ahead of schedule on
billion-dollar fundraising goal

paign, Blanton said. When UK
President Lee Todd came to
UK in 2001. he decided to
continue the campaign. setting
a new goal of $1 billion.

“In doing so. he said Ken
tucky needs big. bold and au-
dacious ideas." Blanton said.
“Nothing like this has been
done in Kentucky before. To
succeed in such an endeavor
demonstrates what we are ca»
pable of as a state and as Ken-
tucky‘s flagship university of
higher leaming.“

Blanton said UK is one of
25 universities in the nation.
including public and private
institutions. currently engaged
in billion«dollar campaigns.
and only 12 public universities
have ever achieved that goal.

“We are confident that we
are about to be added to that
rather auspicious list." he said.

Putting provost

in charge of

research will
eneﬁ't campus

As UK moved up in the rankings used to measure
university research. President Lee Todd announced a
move to restructure research operations and incorporate
them into the provost model he established when he be-
came president five years ago.

The move comes as Executive Vice President Wendy
Baldwin announced her decision to leave UK early next
month. Todd said the vacancy makes it the right time to
move the system under the direction of new provost ‘
Kumble Subbaswamy. l

“The provost will be clearly directing both the acade- ‘
mic enterprise and the research enterprise. both of which
are. and should be. inextricable linked." Todd said.

Chuck Staben. associate vice president of research.
will temporarily take over as the head of research opera-

We're glad to see UK making strides in research —

BRAD STURGEON , Kernel cartoonist

which. in UK‘s quest to become a top-20 research uni—
versity. seems like an obvious step — and we‘re happy
to see Todd taking steps to help integrate it with the rest
of the campus.

When Todd came to UK in 20(ll. he decided to im-
plement the provost system. He created the position to .v
oversee the academics of the university and report di‘
rectly to him. This differed from the chancellor system.
which was employed by former President (‘harles
Wethington and called for chancellors to oversee the
campus and medical center.

That sy stem seems to have paid off for the university
so far.

The Kernel took the stand in an April 2005 editorial
that the provost should be open with students and faculty
by holding forums with faculty and staff about projects
or changes being debated. and would work to advance
UK‘s top-20 goal. to make the most out of limited funds
and to raise more funding.

Subbasvvamy has only been on campus for a few

be.

Some people are not what they appear to

Mark Foley. a member of the House Re-
publican leadership is definitely no exception

to this statement. As a
member of congress. he
was supposed to repre—
sent the best interests of
his constituents and be a
model citizen.

age 20. At age 20. I was
trying to pass Math I09.

But by Friday. other pages had come for-
ward with more blatant instant messages. re-
ported in the Times. "What ya wearing?" Fo-
ley wrote to one young man age l6. “T-shirt
and shorts." the teenager responded. “Love to
slip them off of you." Foley replied.

Whoa!

What was Foley thinking"? Does he not
remember that in five weeks the elections are
coming up? I wonder if Mr. Foley‘s real in-
tention was to come out of the closet? Was
he tired of putting on this persona that he was
not attracted to other men?

It all started when. as the Times reported.

months. but if he follows the model set by former
Provost Michael Nict/cl. who worked to do all of the
above. it can only help research operations.
