CELEBRATING 37 YEARS OF INDEPENDENCE

Negative campaigning intensifies close to Nov. 4

FRANKFURT -
time.

With two weeks remaining be-
fore the November election. the two
candidates vying for the US. Senate
,seat representing UK are Campaign-
ing aggressively to win a race that
has gained national attention.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch
McConnell. a Republican who has
served in the Senate for 24 years.
has aired campaign ads saying Valor
Healthcare provides veterans inade-
quate care. Democratic opponent
Bruce Lunsford is a former Valor
CEO and current directoi.’

“Bruce Lunsford got rich the
Wall Street way. taking care of him-

lt's crunch

self first." the voiceover says.
"Lunsford’s latest venture is Valor
Healthcare. which runs a chain of
VA contract health clinics accused of
providing deficient care. mistreating
our veterans while Bruce profits.“
McConnell defended his cam-
paign. saying he has "run more posi-
tive ads in this campaign than proba—
bly any campaign in America." during
a meeting with The Louisville Couri~
er-Joumal’s editorial board Friday.
Lunsford fired back with ads
saying McConnell has used negative
campaigning to avoid discussing the
issues that matter to Americans.
During a campaign stop in
Frankfort Saturday. Lunsford said
McConnell's campaign tactics were
a distraction.
"Mitch McConnell looks like he

re

lunstord Mayonnoll

was weaned on a pickle. He looks
mean." Lunsford said. “And that's
his campaign — its mean. too."
Beyond the ads. both candidates
have been campaigning across the
region to win over undecided voters
and invigorate their bases.
During the Frankfort
Lunsford rallied support with for-
mer Georgia Sen. Max Cleland. a

stop.

Vietnam veteran and administrator
of veterans affairs under former
President J immy Carter.

Cleland. who said the race may
be part of "the single most impor-
tant election in American history.“
emphasized one of the Lunsford
campaign's key messages: Mc-
Connell‘s support for President
George W. Bush has helped create
current problems such as the War in
Iraq and the financial crisis.

"The problem with McConnell
and others is they fall in line behind
Bush and (former Bush Deputy
Chief of Staffi Karl Rove, which is
destructive," Cleland said. “We
need something constructive."

McConnell has supported Bush
on some issues and opposed him on
others. said McConnell campaign

manager Justin Brasell in an e-mail
to the Kernel. Brasell said one exam-
ple of an opposing view is the Food.
Conservation. and Energy Act of
2008. which President Bush vetoed.
McConnell voted for it the first time.
and again to override the veto.

“Senator McConnell does what
he thinks is best for Kentucky."
Brasell said.

When. and how often. McConnell
and Lunsford Will return to Lexington
is uncertain because both camps are
planning events as they go. represen-
tatives for both candidates said.

Still. C leland said Kentucky and
the rest of the nation will continue
to focus on what is “a swing state. a
swrng race, a swrng year."

”The eyes of the nation are begin—
ning to focus on Kentucky." he said

Editorial cartoonist draws from debated issue for talk

By Jill Lester

ilastéfikykernelflcom

War. homosexuality. guns. relie
gion and abortion.

As the Lexington Herald-
Leader‘s editorial cartoonist. Pulitzer
Prize winner Joel Pett knows the is-
sues that tend to cause the most con—
troversy. He will discuss one of
those ~ abortion - during a talk
Monday on repmduclive choice.

Pett said reproductive choice is
such a disputed issue because it‘s
based around who has the right to
decide whether a woman should be
allowed to have an abortion.

“It’s fundamentally about who is
going to have the power. Even

though it‘s often cased in moral
terms ~ do you kill a baby or don‘t
you it‘s not how you should look
at It." be said. "We've killed thou-
sands of babies in Iraq. and we new
cr nioum their precious little lives."

The decision should be about
finding a “prudent middle ground"

If you go

that minimizes the number of abore
tions and allows women to make the
decision. Petr said.

President George W. Bush has
“pretty much been a disaster" on re»
productive rights education and pro—
gramming. Petr said. citing the
Global Gag Rule. a US. policy rc—
quiring non—govemment organiza—
tions that receive federal funding to
not perform or promote abortion
services in other countries.

“The Bush administration has
pandered to the religious right that
you can tell people 'Just don‘t do
it.‘ " he said.

Because reprtxluctive rights is a
controversial issue. Pett has seen
quite a bit of reader feedback on his

cartoons on the subject.

One of the strongest responses
he ever received was for a cartoon
he drew sometime in the late [980s
or early 1990s using a coat hanger
as a symbol for illegal abortion. A
local minister complained. saying
he would organize a boycott of the
newspaper if he saw a coat hanger
in another cartoon.

For two or three days. Petr put
coat hangers in cartoons no matter
what the issue was -~ for example.
a person might have a closet open
while speaking. The minister organ-
ized the boycott. and. the Herald—
leader stood behind Pett‘s decision.

During his 50-minute presenta-
tion. Petr will talk about the politics of

reprrxluctive choice and draw as well.
He might sketch Ronald Reagan and
talk about Reagan's policies. Drawing
adds something extra to talks. he said.

“People like that because they
know it‘s not canned." he said. “it's
right there

Pett's presentation will be at
noon in room MN 463 in the Chan-
dler Medical (‘enter Medical Science
Budding. The discussion. sponsored
by The Forum for Reproduction FA-
ucation and Empowemient: UK. is
free and open to the public.

Extreme
money trouble 1119 Di 8H

Extreme Makeover Home alums are in mortgage trouble

Extreme makeover: forc—
closure edition? This summer.
Patricia and Milton Harper
lost the Georgia mansion giv-
an to them by Ty Pcnmngton's
hit ABC show after they used
it as collateral for a loan.
Though the show gives win-
ners money for taxes after
handing over the mortgage. at
least two other owners put
their homes on the market ear—
lier this year due to financial
problems. and others have re—
financcd. Florida resident
Sadie Holmes is the latest rc-
cipient struggling to hold on
to her property. Holmes.
whose 7.000-squarc-foot
house doubles as a nonprofit
that feeds and clothes her
community's poor. tells Us.
“We're nearly bankrupt."

Home sweet home?
Holmes says high property
taxes and a 329.000 lien —-
the result of code violations
stemming from the operation
of her nonprofit on residential
property have over-
whelmed her. Now. she‘s hop-
ing for another extreme inter-
vention: “I‘m praying that
somebody blesses us with a
donation.“

Jen and John back on

When John Mayer broke
up with Jennifer —Aniston in
August. sources told Us the
two couldn’t agree on one
important issue: She wanted a
baby, he didn't. Looks like —
the actress has had a change
of heart. On Oct. 10. the exes
—— who dated for four months

  

 
 

— attended a Ray LaMon-
tagnc concert in Boston. Says
a source. "It was a very pub-
lic date.“

Why would Aniston go
back into his arms‘.’ ”She
can‘t deny their major chem-
istry. similarities and ability
to laugh at things. So if she
has to wait a little for what
she really wants. that‘s what
she‘ll have to do. Besides.
she‘s never stopped liking
him."

Thus far. the two aren't
exactly having a slow re —
entry. After the Marley & Me
actress caught a flight to see
Mayer in Boston (where the
singer taught a weeklong
master class in songwriting at
his alma mater. the Berklce
School of Music). the pair
spent the weekend in New
York City. On Oct. 13. they
flew on a private plane from
New Jersey‘s Tctcrboro Air—
port to Los Angeles. (Both »
Mayer‘s and Aniston's reps
had no comment.)

Of course. the couple
spent much of their summer
romance in travel mode. An
admitted fearful flier. -Anis-
ton had no qualms about join—
ing her 31-year-old boyfriend
on his tour and playing the
role of his No. l groupie. But
the rocker. who just wrapped
his tour. wasn‘t ready to fa-
ther her baby. “He loved her.
but when she voiced that she
wanted more. he said he did—
n‘t want anything that serious
yet." says the source. Anis—
ton. however. turns 40 in
February. "Every now and

    
      
      
 

then, she'll have a panic at-
tack about thc fact that she's
39 and wants children." an
Aniston insider told Us short—
ly before the split

Though both parties have
a history of stop- -and- start
couplings (he with Jessica
Simpson; she with Vince
Vaughn). Aniston s decision
to reconcile shocks even her
inner circle. "She was heart—
broken when he ended it." an
Aniston palt tells Us. "It
caught her by surprise and
she was devastated. That 5
probably why she s taken him
back.“

Aniston and Mayer seem
to have already learned from
their past. They have different
goals. but right now. they‘re
just hanging out again."

Do re eat romances
work.

Yes and no. according to
Beverly Hills-based relation
ship expert Dr. (‘arolc Lieber-
man. “lt all depends on why a

‘couplc broke up in the first

place." the author of Bad
Boys: Why We Love Them.
How to Live With Them and
When to Leave Them. tells
Us. adding that the romance
"can be richer if both people
have matured and are able to
see qualities in the other per-
son that they missed the first
time around." If not. they are
only asking for “more heart-
break. which can be worst the
second time around."

I KERNEL EDITORIAL

New graduate
program a poor
use of funding

There's nothing better than soothing music. Except maybe
saving $3 million.

Whether it is played after a bad day. to help someone study
or concentrate. or to uplift those patients in a hospital. there‘s
no doubt music has an effect on the moods of people.

On that thought alone. the idea behind UK‘s creation of a
graduate program in music therapy sounds great. But dig a lit-
tle deeper. and maybe a $3 million donation for such a pro—
gram could have been prit to better use.

The program would be Kentucky's first of this type and
maybe there is a reason for that. In a Kernel article on Oct. l4.
Ben Arnold. director of UK School of Music. a registered niu—
sic therapist a, which is what the program is designed to pro—
duce ~ probably won‘t fit in a small town. The majority of
Kentucky's population lives in small towns.

Louisville is the largest city in the state. and it barely
cracks the top 50 nationally. Lexington. Frankfort. Bowling
Green and Paducah are not really large enough to be a blip on
the radar for anyone outside the state. So where exactly are we
training these students to go'.’

The ongoing drone of the Top 20 Business Plan constant—
ly drives home one point: UK is to become a top—20 university
in order to provide the state with educated young people that
can better the state by creating new businesses and jobs for the
Commonwealth. [f a music therapist is not suited to work in a
small town and Kentucky only" has one large city. where exact-
ly does this new program work into UK's Top 20 Business
Plan .’

lt sounds like it doesn‘t fit in at all. Which leads to another
question: if the program doesn‘t fit well. why use so much
money on it‘.‘ There are budget needs everywhere. and $3 mil-
lion could definitely be used elsewhere. Just ask the provost
and Student (lovemment. who could have saved some of their
funds if some of that $3 million were used toward reopening
W.T. Young Library. Ask professors who didn't see raises in
this year's paychecks about this $3 million.

Budgets are crunched. they are only going to be further
crunched and UK is spending $3 million on a program that
will only work in a few select cities in our state. Even worse.
the program won‘t even go.into effect until Fall 2010. Aniold
said. because the program has to first find someone willing to
sign up. A program that hoards $3 million for two years until it
can find an interested prospect? It sounds like a huge waste of
spending ls there a mortgage broker among UK's Board of
Trustees?

The Kernel does not doubt the positive effect of music
therapy. It is extremely uplifting. and anyone who chooses this
profession is admirable. But such a rigorous program that uses
a lot of money is not really needed in times like these.

hi the Oct. 14 article. Aniold said the idea for the program
had been circulating on and off for 20 years. It should have cir-

I LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Columnist wrong about McCain’s mortgage plan

Banks have been greedy. Home—
buyers have shown stupidity. That is
my summation of this housing and
credit crisis. They should all have to
deal with the consequences.

Normally. I'm all about reaping
what you sew. This situation is differ—
ent. As Brad Bowling pointed out iii
his Wednesday column "McCain‘s
bailout too risky. needs revision." the
issue goes beyond the surface. Howev—
er. “they need to learn the hard way."
Let people lose their homes. Let the
banks fail.

Reality check. please.

The resultant effects would be too
great. As people continue to lose their
homes. property values will continue
to fall. This will affect everyone. iii-
cluding those who have diligently

continued making their payments.
Sen. McCain's plan will offer a floor
to plummeting housing values. Famr»
lies will keep their homes. there will
be fewer foreclosures and we‘ll see a
return in prices. McCain's plan could
be the end of this housing catastrophe.
It could be the bottom of the abyss.
Do we really want to let them fall.
and in turn. see the economy continue
to fall with it'.’

And that's ‘iust half of it.

Yes. banks deserve a huge part of
the blame for w'himsically handing out
mortgages to anyone willing to sign a
