Professor
wins award
for poverty

research

By Geoffrey Briggs

Ews©kykernelcom

For Richard Fording. poverty has been
a lifelong fascination.

Now. Fording‘s research into the in-
equities in the welfare system has eamed
him an award.

Fording. art associate professor of polit-
ical science at UK. co-authored a paper that
won the American Political Science Associ—
ation's national award for the best paper on
public policy for 2007. The paper will be
published in an upcoming
issue of the American 50-
ciological Review.

In the paper. "Decid—
ing to Discipline: A Mul-
tieMethod Study of Race.
Choice. and Punishment
at the Frontlines of Wel-
fare Reform." Fording
and his co—authors re—
ported their findings on
the penalties and sanc-
tions minority welfare groups receive for
breaking rules.

One of these rules is that in the United
States. a single mother receiving welfare
has to work about 30 hours a week to con—
tinue to receive welfare assistance. includ-
ing food stamps and cash assistance.

Fording and co-authors Sanford Schram
and Linda Houser of Bryn Mawr College
and Joe Soss of the University of Minnesota
conducted a survey on case managers in
Florida. They discovered that when present—
ing managers in the study with a hypotheti-
cal situation of clients who broke rules.
many penalties were given out based on
race.

They found that case managers were
more likely to penalize and sanction black
or Hispanic people than whites. The only
change from case to case was the 'name as-
socrated with ethnic identity.

Case managers in charge of important
decisions regarding welfare recipients have
the discretion to excuse clients when they
break a similar rule. which means people
can interpret the same stature multiple ways.

"Rules are made at state levels but. they
are all interpreted differently." Fording
said. "(It‘s like) missing an exam. The uni—
versity has their rule on that situation. but
professors interpret it in different ways."

They also found that when it came to
the job market. race is still an issue for
those looking for employment

“The names associated with people on
job applications that give off a sense of race
were less likely to get called back." he said.

Fording believes that situations like this
in Florida are no different than they are here
in Lexington or anywhere else in the country.

Although those considered to be in
poverty are feeling the effects more. those
in other'incomc classes are still being at?
fected. Fording said.

"Mitch of the country is being pinched
right now." he said, “People that are at the
bottom just happen to be pinched the hard-
est. The rising food and gas prices tend to
compromise a larger share of poor people‘s
income."

Although the economy is slumping.
Fording said people wrth lower incomes
should still seek the help they need.

“A lot of people eligible for financial
assistance don't realize it or think of it as
dishonorable." Fording said. "Awareness
could be raised for these programs."

The W.T. Young Library will
reopen 24 hours a day. ﬁve days
a week starting Sunday at a cost
eqﬁal to what UK would have
had to pay to open a smaller li-
brary late at night.

Reopening the W.T. Young
Library 24 hours a day Sunday
through Thursday will cost
330.000 this year. said Carol
Diedrichs. the dean of libraries
at UK.

During the ﬁrst few months
of the school year. when students.
staff and faculty brainstormed
ways to keep a library open be-
tween 2 am. and 7 am. the idea
of keeping a smaller library open
was considered. Diedrichs said.

However. keeping the Lu-
cille Caudill Little Fine Arts Li-

brary and Learning Center open
around the clock would cost the
same as the W.T. Young Library
because both libraries would re—
quire extra personnel to operate
throughout the night. she said.

"Most of the costs are in
stafﬁng," she said.

Student Government Presi-
dent Tyler Montell said 50 offi-
cers considered keeping the Fine
Arts Library open before talking
with administrators. but when
they crunched the numbers. they
realized that the cost was almost
the same as keeping W.T. Young
Library open.

Montell went on to say that
keeping the W.T. Young Library
open was the ideal option because
many students need the services
offered there. including the PC
and Mac computer labs. and the
periodicals and circulations.

“I believe this is the best thing
for the student body." he said.

The 530.000 cost will be
split between 80 and Provost
Kumble Subbaswamy. 80 will
pay $10000. with $5,000 of that
coming from the 80 Senate and
$5000 coming from Montell‘s
executive operational fund. Sub-
baswamy is paying the rest out
of discretionary funds.

Subbaswamy. who is out of
the country. could not be reached
for comment. But Diedrichs said
administrators were pleased to
reopen the library.

"We are delighted to be able
to keep the building open for the
students." she said.

Ryan Ebelhar. a history sen-
ior. said he is relieved that W.T.
Young Library will once again
be open 24 hours a day.

He said not having a library

WWW.KYKERNEL.COM

open around the clock bothered
him because he works in the
evenings and sometimes doesn’t
get home until 11 p.m.. leaving
him very little time to study.

Ebelhar also said that while
he would prefer to have W.T.
Young Library open 24 hours a
day. another library would have
been acceptable.

Stephanie Snider. a special
education freshman. is also
pleased the library will be open 24
hours a day again. She said while
she does not usually need to study
very late. she knows several peo-
ple who were upset by the late-
night closing of the library.

She also said she takes com~
fort in knowing the library is
available whenever she needs it.

"I like to know that I can be
there that late ifI need to." she
said.

toys to the children in the hospital.

smiles to children
By Andy Norris

neWs@kykernel_com

As Tim Stanley rested in his hospital bed
Monday moming. his eyes lit up as several
jockeys dressed in racing silks walked into
the room.

“Are you serious?" Tim said With a grin
on his face as one jockey presented him with
a Keeneland hat.

Tim. a 13-year-old patient. was one of the
children in Kentucky Children‘s Hospital vis-
ited by members of the Keeneland jockey
colony. The jockeys surprised young patients
with books and other gifts.

Jockeys Rene Douglas and Robby Al—
barado are credited with the idea for the vis-
it. Albarado. the regular rider of Curlin. the
horse who recently became the first North

American horse to earn $10 million. said he
was inspired by the time he has spent at hos~
pitals as a patient.

"I know how it is." Albarado said
"You appreciate visitors. It's a small way
to give something back to the community."

Fiyv'e-ycar—old Corey Strunk was a bit shy
when the jockeys entered his room. putting
his fists over his eyes to imitate he was wear—
ing goggles. Corey Strunk. who has been a
patient at Kentucky Children‘s Hospital for
one month. opened up when he was intro»
duced to jockey Corey Lanerie. who broke
the ice by talking about how Corey was the
“best name in the world."

The two Coreys talked about their shared
enthusiasm for horse racing and the fact that
the younger Corey had picked the winner of
this year‘s Kentucky Derby. Big Brown.

Lanerie. a jockey of 17 years and a
Louisiana native. said he enjoys making vrs-
its like the one on Monday whenever he can.

“I try to do this every year." Lanarie said.

"lt just makes you feel good when you
lease."

The jockeys also fielded questions from
the children. Tim was particularly curious.
asking a number of questions about what it is
like to be a jockey.

The jockeys talked about the hardships
of their daily life. including the rigorous di<
cts they lime to follow to maintain their ide-
al weights. Still. they all agreed that it was
worth it.

“When you love something. you're will-
ing to do anything for it." :\lbarado said.

Dr. Triii Bncker. the chairman of the de-
partment of pediatric: :it the Kentucky Chil»
dren‘s Hospital. said officials were happy to
have the jockeys visit.

“We are so pleased to have the
Keeneland jockey colony come back to \‘Isll
our patients at our Kentucky Children‘s Hos-
pital." he said. "After all. Keeneland‘s jock-
eys are as committed to Kentucky as \ye are.
arid they are part of our team."

Knee injury ends Lyons’ season. career at UK

Senior Wide receiver Dicky Lyons Jr srts on the srde»

line during the UK-South Carolina game Saturday

By Bobby Reagan
breagan kykernelcom

Senior wide receiver Dicky
Lyons Jr. is out for the season
after tearing two ligaments. the
medial collateral and the poste-
rior cruciate. in his right knee
during UK's 24—17 loss to South
(‘arolina on Saturday. The injury
effectively ends Lyons‘ career at
UK. -

Lyons was trying to pick up
an extra yard after a catch dur-
ing the second quarter on Satur-
day when he was brought down
by Gamecock comerback Carlos
Thomas. causing Lyons to land
awkwardly on his leg. Lyons left
the game and did not return.

“I feel very bad for Dicky."
UK head coach Rich Brooks said
Monday at his weekly news con-
ference. “He‘s had a great career

and has made some great plays.
He‘s just meant a lot to the pro—
gram."

Brooks said Lyons will wait
to have surgery until the
swelling in his knee subsides.

Lyons‘ injury puts pressure
on UK's otherwise young of-
fense. The senior was the Cats‘
top receiver. becoming one of
the few reliable options during
UK‘s offensive struggles.

Lyons led UK in receptions
(33). yards (264) and touch-
down receptions (two). He was
also the Cats' primary punt re-
tumer. where he was averaging
l2.4 yards per return.

Without Lyons. sophomore
running back Derrick Locke and
freshman wide receiver/quarter-
back Randall Cobb become
UK‘s leading receivers. After six
games. Locke has 22 catches for

189 yards. and Cobb has ll re-
ceptions for 84 yards.

Lyons' absence wrll likely
be felt in the locker room as
well. The vocal. high-energy
player was one of the Cats‘ lead—
ers and was arguably the face of
the UK program entering this
season.

“I‘m devastated." Brooks
said. “You know what type of
person he is and how much this
all meant to him. He‘s devastat-
ed. No one could envision his
career at UK ending like this.“

Brooks said he hopes Lyons
is comfortable coming to prac—
tices and games with the team
and helping guide the UK re-
ceivers. but Brooks does not an-
ticipate Lyons will be able to be
on the sidelines until after the
injury begins to heal.

“He‘s going to be limited in

his mobility to even get to class
Brooks said. “It's going to be a
little while until he‘s wanting to
come out there and stand around
and help a little bit."

Brooks said that Lyons al«
ways tried to get something ex-
tra out of every play he made.
Lyons' teammates could also
feel the pain of the loss of one
of their senior leaders.

“Dicky"s loss is a big loss to
not only our receiving corps but
our whole team." senior comer—
back David Jones said.

Lyons finishes his UK ca-
reer with the third-most receiyw
ing touchdowns at 18. the
fourth-most receiving yards with
L752 yards and the fifth-most
receptions With [41 catches.

Lyons was unavailable for
comment at the weekly news
conference.

Travis Barker
exclusive

The still-hospitalized rocker
speaks publicly for the first

file

On Sept. 19. Travis Bark-
er‘s worst nightmare came
true: The ex-Blink 182 drum-
mer —— who fears ﬂying —
was in a plane crash in Co-
lumbia, S.C., that killed four
(including his assistant. Chris
Baker) and left him with -sec-
ond- and third-degree burns
covering his hands and lower
body. (His TRVSDJ-AM
bandmate. Adam “DJ AM.“
Goldstein. suffered burns on
his amt and scalp but also
survived). Taken to a burn
center in Augusta. Ga.
(where his ex-wife, Shanna
Moakler. 33. ﬂew to his side).
Barker. 32. was discharged
on Sept. 29 so he could be
treated in Los Angeles -— and
be closer to their children.
Landon. 5. and Alabama. 2.
Barker spoke exclusively to
Us‘ Paula Carvajal from the
Grossman Burn Center in Los
Angeles on Oct. 6.

How are you doing."

1 am doing the best I can
possibly be. I‘m so anxious to
get out of here. I was in Geor—
gia at the hospital over there
and was scared to death to
even get on an airplane again.
so I had Shanna and my father
come out and meet me and we
took a bus back to L A. I've
just been in surgery after sur—
gery. l have third- -degree bums
basically from my feet up to
my waist and both hands. One
of my hands has second-de-
gree burns and one has third-
degree burns. I‘m trying to
have a quick recovery and
play the drums again and be
able to hold my kids again.

How much have you seen

your children."

Shanna brought them
down a couple times. but not
on the basis that I normally
would (see them). Noniially I
wake up with them at six in
the moming and take them to
school. I'm just taking this
one day at a time and listen-
ing to all the doctors" orders.

After more than 25 years
as a vegetarian. you had to
start eating mm! again. Why."

1 need protein from food
rather than just protein sup-
plements. i changed my diet.
1 would do anything I possi-
bly could (to get better). They
said. “There‘s a possibility
you might heal faster if you
do eat meat or just change
your eating habits." So i did.
I don‘t regret it at all. because
i feel so much better!

Did it help."

Because i was a vegetari-
an. for my first three surger-
ies. it was hard to get any of
my grafts to take to my real
skin. I have such low levels
of protein. 1 just got out of
surgery maybe an hour ago.
They took pieces from my
back and pieces of skin from
my thighs and they grafted
them onto my feet, my heels
and my right foreami — and
it actually stuck!

A different day is surgery
didn 't go as well. right."

It was a misunderstand-
ing. I woke up from my sur-
gery with no pain medication
at one point! Imagine how
that would feel! But the doc-
tors here are amazing.

How

much longer will

Dig" time since his plane crash

you be in the hospital."

1 hope not much longer. i
sit here and read books and
watch TV. I think if this sur—
gery went well. [‘11 be here
for at most two weeks. i have
had outstanding support from
my family and friends. Shan-
na has been here as much as
she could be. i couldn’t do it
without them. i hate planes.
My biggest fear ever is to be
involved in a plane crash. so
when that happened well.
I’m just thankful to be alive!
I'm just grateful to be here at
all (he chokes up a bit).

Gothic horror play
screams onto stage

By Kristin Stock

features©kykarnel com

Ryan Case and Shayne
Brakel'ield shouldn‘t have any
trouble deciding what to be for
Halloween this year.

Both will play eight horror
film characters in the "The Mys—
tery of Irma Vep” by Charles
Ludlam. one of the most pro-
duced comedies in US. history.
The play is a tribute to gothic
horror films with characters such
as vampires. werewolves and
damsels in distress.

The avant-garde comedy will
be performed Tuesday, Wednes-
day and Thursday at Natasha‘s
Cafe. which is located at 112 Es-
planade iii downtown Lexington.
Seating for the show starts at
6:30 pm. each day. Tickets are
$15 for the general public and
$12 for students.

Case and Brakefield have 42
costume changes. and 80 exits
and entrances in less than two
hours.

"You're not just changing the
costume. you're changing your
personality. your character.” pro-
dticer Natasha Williams said.
“These two guys really pulled it
off."

Case described Brakefield as
one of the finest actors he knows
while Williams said Case is one
of the fathers of theater. Case
wanted to do the show with
Brakefield because the each had
seen the other in a different show
and wanted to work together.
Williams said.

Case said he was excited the
show was finally being produced.

A CONSPIRACY

He said he has wanted to do the
show for 15 years. but he did not
have Brakefield to work with or
the right crew to make the show
come to life.

"I finally got to see the dream
come true." Case said.

Case said watching everyone
laughing and having a good time
when he saw it years ago made
him want to put on the play.

"The world did not exist out-
side the theater walls." Case said.
"it‘s rewarding when everyone
laughs together."

Case wants to have the same
effect on his audience.

“When 1 know the audience
is having a great time. that is the
most futi part.“ Case said. “This
is what we need. Laughter is iii—
credibly healing."

Case said the play could not
have been done without the crew
that helped put the play together.

“To do 'The Mystery of Irma

’cp.' it had to be done right with
the right cast." Case said. “It‘s a
demanding show; anything can
go wrong at any time."

The crew includes director

Barry J. Williams. a founder of

the Actors‘ Guild of Lexington.
who came back to the city after a
22-year absence.

()ne of the main components
of the play is the costumes.
Kirsten Aurelius. costume de—
signer of the Lexington Chil—
di‘en’s Theatre. designed the cos—
tumes for the play.

“If it weren‘t for her. 'Ii‘ma‘
wouldn't have happened."
Natasha Williams said. “Cov
tumes are the third character in
the show,"

Speaker:

31 Rochollo Hallway!
news kykarna .com

Forget Generation X — a new
generation of voters is emerging. a
speaker said Monday.

Young people are fomiing “Gen—
eration Obama." a group of young
black people raised after the Civil
Rights Movement. said Keli Goff.
author of “Party Crashing: How the
Hip-Hop Generation Declared Politi-
cal Independence."

Goff gave a free speech Monday
evening at Memorial Hall titled
"How Generttion Obama Voters are
Changing American Politics." Dur-
ing the speech. Goff discussed Gen—
eration Obama. named after Demo—
cratic presidential candidate Barack

. Obama. and why the current genera—

tion is important in this year's presi~
dential election.

Goff described the post—Civil
Rights generation as being shaped
by cultural inﬂuences that go beyond
race. such as masic and movies.

During the Civil Rights Move—
ment. young black people were not al-
lowed iii the clubs black artists were

played in, she said. Today‘s youth see
a growing black inﬂuence in fashion.
music. language and movies.

Goff asked audience members if
they use Facebook. if they watched
episodes of The Cosby Show‘ and
can name at least two characters of
the show. and it they use the Internet
when doing research for papers.

Most people in the audience re—
sponded "yes“ by a show of hands.
which meant most people in atten-
dance were considered Generation
(Jbama \ oters. Goff said.

She explained that because the
majority of this generation‘s voters
are young. supporters of Republican
candidate John McCain do not ex»
pect members of Generation ()bama
to show up on Election Day.

"If you answered ‘yes‘ to most
of the questions. then you are all
part of Generation Obama. and the
message is that John McCain is
counting on you to get him elected
as president of the United States."
(ioff said.

Goff said she is passionate about
young people voting because her
parents grew up during segregation

New generation must vote

and America was a different place
during that time.

“Our country still has a ways to
go and our nation is not perfect."
Goff said.

She compared the US. to the huv
titan body. in terms of healing

“All parts of the human body
have to work together to heal from a
wound. just as all parts of the nation
have to work together to heal from
past traumas and tragedies." Goff
said. “Barack Obama is not the doc-
tor; you all are."

Goff went on to discuss issues in
her book. including how black
Americans have allowed the media
and political leaders to segregate
them. resulting in years of the politi—
cal relevance of younger blacks peo-

I KERNEL EDITORIAL

Donations are
nice, but UK
must be frugal

During this financial crisis. anything positive when it
comes to money is great news. So when UK announced that
university donations have increased 8 percent for the 2007-08
fiscal year. as the Keniel reported in an article on Friday, this
editorial board applauded those gracious donors who have
given so much in such a dire financial time.

To witness an increase of nearly $5 million from almost
60.000 donors is usually unheard of in times like these. We
commend everybody who made a donation to the university.
no matter how big or small it was. for putting their extra
money into education and ensuring that the higher education
needs of this state arid nation do not falter during the econom—
ic crisis.

Having said that. we must caution UK in how it decides
to use the donations. Given the state budget cuts and the 9
percent tuition increase students have had to light through the
past couple of years. it is pretty obvious that the university is
in dire need of every penny it can get. Put the money where it
needs to go. of course. but keep in mind that the tough finan-
cial times everybody is experiencing could just be the begin-
ning.

If the economy is going to get worse. as many national fi-
nancial analysts have speculated. the increase in donations
will likely not last long. said Ken Troske. director of the Cen-
ter for Business and Econoriiics Research and an economics
professor at UK.

“I‘m not sure there is anything the university can do."
Troske said in Friday's Kernel. “Most people donate usually
for a tax break. but there will be lots of losses to offset gains
this year."

If Troske is right. the university must be prepared. Every
university. including this one. functions largely on the backing
of university donations. If those numbers start to decline. UK
needs to be prepared for the losses it will likely face. If that
means saving some of the donations from this year for harder
times. then so be it.

One thing the university can ill-afford to do is brush the
economic crisis off as being just a cycle of the economy.
Paula Pope. director of Campaign Services and Donor Rela-
tions at UK. said in Friday's Kernel that she‘s not worried
about next year‘s mo
