saw walls plastered with flyers
featuring a picture of Kentucky
with a dollar sign and a ques-

Although posters advertis-
ing “A Conversation With Lee

budget deficit. about 50 mem-
bers of the campus community
had questions for the UK presi-

ranged from UK-owned Robin-

Of course. Gov. Steve

“We told (the state) that
this is what it‘s going to take if
we want to get to that goal."

Jamylc Cannon danced around
the ring. eyeing his opponent dur-
ing a match leading up to the 2007
boxing national championships.

Cannon threw a powerful right
hook. a punch he had landed suc-
cessfully countless times. But his
opponent lunged forward. stepping
into the blow. causing Cannon‘s
punch to land awkwardly. Cannon
finished and won the match.

The 130-pound boxer had al-
ways dreamed of winning a na-
tional championship. and after that
match. he was just two bouts away
from making his dream a reality.

But Cannon did not know the
awkward hook had caused a small
tear in his right rotator cuff. He
continued to compete. hoping to
reach his goal — a national cham-
pionship belt — until deja vu
struck in a quarterfinal match.

landed another right
hook. further tearing his rotator
cuff. There was no mistaking the
injury this time.

“I couldn‘t feel my arm or pick
it up even." Cannon said.

CannOn fought the rest of the
match with only one arm. hoping
he had enough energy to knock his
opponent out. His effort was in
vain. He lost the match by points.
Cannon would not be a champion
in 2007.

“It was extremely disappoint-
ing to not come away with the win
when I was expected to." he said.

Cannon. a social work and we
law sophomore. endured 10 months
of rehabilitation as his shoulder
healed. and he only started boxing
on a daily basis a month ago.

Dr. George Ginter. an anesthe-
siologist and head coach of UK’s
club boxing team. said collegiate

Crinter said.

Now Cannon trains in the
basement of Alumni Gym. a place
he and the rest of the UK boxing
club call home. and he still dreams
of a national championship.

Despite the lengthy rehab.
Cannon said this year the road to
the national championship will come
through him or the Naval Acade-
my‘s Antone Aku. who went on to
win the 2007 title. Without realiiing
he had It tom rotator cuff. Cannon
dropped a hard~fought bout in the

calls his ”personal rival."

The two fighters face off again

he will gain momentum heading into
the regional tournament.

“Aku is a really good guy. but

how cool he is I want that belt "

Cannon turned down playing
Divtsion I football for boxing. a
non-scholarship sport that Is not
sanctioned by the NCAA.

Indiana and Purdue uni\ersIties
offered Cannon Ii full ride to play
free safety on the schools‘ football
teams. but he declined. Cannon is at
UK on an academic scholarship and
said he just followed his heart in
pursumg boxing.

"I liked football. but I ne\cr
loved it." (‘annon said. "I Ill\\tt)s
loved boxing and now I have Ii

BRITNEY MCINTOSR I STAFF
Jamyle Cannon takes a moment to breath after working out with a punching bag during practice.

CANNON

Continued from page 1

profit organization that started in 1976 and
now includes 26 schools that compete for a
team national championship every year.

The schools are split into three regions.
The top two competitors in each weight class
from the three regions qualify for the nation-
al championships. along with two wildcard
boxers picked by the NCBA.

Cannon is looking to become UK's first
national boxing champion since Chad Gilpin
won the title three years ago.

With his match against Aku in two weeks
and regional championships — which will be
held at UK‘s Buell Armory — starting in a
month. Cannon has begun his pre-match rou-
tine. He runs Monday through Thursday be-
fore classes start. Once finished, he goes to
practice for two and a half hours in the gym.
which he says looks like a scene out of
“Rocky."

Cannon now trains with hopes that all the
work will help him achieve his national.-
championship dreams.

“Getting that belt will just show that it all
has paid off." Cannon said. “I've put a lot
into boxing and to get something that shows
that would just be amazing."

 

Despite his father‘s background in the
sport. Cannon is boxing against his mother‘s
and grandmother‘s wills. Cannon said his
mother believes every boxer will. like
Muhammad Ali. suffer from life-altering side
effects. The former heavyweight champion
of the world now has Parkinson’s disease. a
neurological syndrome that causes tremors.
slowness in speech and a decline in motor
skills. Doctors have said Ali’s condition is
likely caused by his boxing career.

“Every time I go home. I just hear how I
shouldn‘t be boxing." Cannon said. “She al-
ways tells me I‘m going to end up like Ali.
so it limits how nruch I go home."

Cannon said he feels much safer in the
boxing ring than he ever did on the football
field.

The NCAA stopped sanctioning boxing
in 1961. because the organization felt it was
too dangerous a sport for college students.
(‘ollege boxing is now sponsored by the Na-
tional Collegiate Boxing Association. a non-

Institutional Diversity Judy "JJ." Jackson.
would help bring a fresh perspective.

“I’m a white male. That‘s just the way it
is. It's been that way for 61 years." Todd
said. "So I need someone who thinks much
different than me on certain issues."

Two students raised the issue of a bill
currently in the state legislature that would
allow guns in cars on university campuses.

The idea of concealed carry on campus is
designed for students who have already
passed background checks and state regula-
tions. said forestry senior Nicholas Peters.

“They are legal in a sense they are not
going to do anything harmful with firearms
on campus." Peters said.

“Is there any guarantee of that?" Todd re-
sponded quickly. “Just because they‘ve been
certified by the state doesn‘t mean they‘re not
going to do something harmful on campus."

Todd said that although he and some of
the people in attendance disagreed last night.
he thought the experience was valuable.

"I always agree to disagree on certain is-
sues. but they need to know where I stand."

Presidents Climate Commitment. an agree-
nrent signed by university presidents to work
toward environmental goals. such as reduc—
ing greenhouse gas emissions.

“As long as we have a coal-powered
plant across the street. we can‘t do that."
Todd said. "They don‘t ask for intent. they
ask for results."

After the forum. Gray said he was disap-
pointed that UK would not be signing the na-
tionwide commitment anytime soon.

“I know it's ‘Kirrg Coal.‘ but there‘s got
to be some way to reduce the dependence."
he said.

Several students asked about what UK is
doing to improve diversity after this year‘s
incidents. including a racially charged Oct. 5
Kernel editorial cartoon likening UK‘s Greek
system to a slave auction and an e—mail for-
warded by Student Government President
Nick Phelps that falsely described presiden»
tial-hopeful Barack Obama as a Muslim and
spoke negatively of Islam.

Panel: View
of Mid East
must change

By Paul Mattingly

toaturas®kykerneicom

A panel of academics gathered last
night to answer the question: Is political
Islam destabilizing the world?

The answer seemed to have more to
do with Americans as panelists of the
event agreed that the United States need-
ed to vastly change its policies in the
Middle East for relations between Islam-
ic states and the West to improve.

The event, titled “Does Islamic Re—
vivalism Challenge a Stable World Or—
der?" was one of several academic pre-
sentations that will be featured during
the College of Arts and Sciences' “Geek
Week." The panel consisted of professor
of Islamic studies Ihsan Bagby. history
professor Robert Olson and professor
John Stempel of the Patterson School of
Diplomacy and lntemational Commerce.

"The anger in the Muslim world is at
all levels. but the masses are not vio—
lent," Bagby said. “It‘s not a hotbed of
terrorism.“

Bagby said Western influence has
bred Islamic revivalism. or “political ls—
lam."

“Political Islam has been opposed
very vigorously by the West." Bagby
said. “The repression and opposition of
the West has. I think, radicalized (Islam-
ic) groups. Political participation natural-
Iy leads to a moderation of views. The
repression of these organizations has re-
tarded that movement."

Most of the panelists agreed that the
war in Iraq has given momentum to Is-
lamic revivalism. which Olson said be-
gan in the l960s.

“There were no suicide bombers in
Iraq before 2003." Olson said. “You dis-
place that many people from their
homes. people are going to be upset."

If the United States had ceased pres«
suring Iran. Bagby said he felt an Islam-
ic democracy would already be estab-
lished and that it was still not a far-
fetched idea in Iran.

Stempel. who worked for the U S
Foreign Service in Iran. agreed on the
country‘s potential for democracy.

“Every group has things in common
and things that are different." Stempel
said. "Iran has many things in common
with us. though you won‘t hear that from
our government."

The majority of Iranians like the
United States. Stempel said. and the cur-
rent Iranian government is nervous be—
cause of the potential for a democracy.

Organizers were happy with how the
panel discussion turned out.

“This was my dream team of pan—
elists." said Katie Hansen. one of the
events coordinators and a political science
and topical studies senior with a focus on
the Middle East. "I think each of their per~
spectives were fantastic. They were differ-
ent enough that they gave a broad perspec-
tive of how to solve problems."

get. It determines how many students will
be sitting in the classrooms and what kind
of programs UK can offer.“

The rally is tomorrow at 1:30 pm. in
the Capitol Rotunda. The timing is ideal.
Phelps said. since the legislative session be-
gins at 2 pm. and legislators will be mak—
ing their way to the Capitol during it.

SG will be taking a bus to transport stu-
dents to the rally. leaving the Student Center
at 12:30 pm. Crumrine said the bus will leave
Frankfort around 3:30 pm. Phelps will sign
excuses for students who would have to miss
class and need to verify that they are going to
the rally. Students can sign up for a ride in the
86 office in room l20 of the Student Center.

“The biggest disadvantage is cost.
said James Kipp. associate director of the
Kentucky Water Resources Research Insti-
tute. “If you calculate the cost per gallon.
buying single bottles of water costs more
per gallon at this point than gasoline does."

A 2(l-ounce Dasani bottled water costs
$1.30 at campus dining facilities. equal to
$8.32 per gallon.

But the negative effects bottled water
has on the environment should also be
considered. Kipp said. Making plastic
bottles requires oil. enough to fuel
”10.000 cars a year. according to the
news release. and more fuel is used to
transport the bottles.

els and other products." he said.

Even though plastic can be recycled.
86 percent of the empty plastic water hot-
tles in the nation land in the trashcans in-
stead of recycling bins. according to a Take
Back the Tap report.

The Food and Drug Administration
regulates bottled water as a food under the
Federal Food. Drug and Cosmetic Act. But
the Environmental Protection Agency
monitors tap water under the Safe Drink-
ing Water Act. According the Take Back
the Tap report. regulating water as a food
treats it as a commercial product. and the
EPA‘s tests have stricter guidelines for the
water running through kitchen faucets.

Esterle said she was not aware of the
effects bottled water could have on the err—
vironment and the differences in govern-
ment regulations.
