A panel that met last night at the
Student Center discussed black in-
volvement in politics and shed light on
the role that individuals play.

About 30 people sat in the audience
of the "Politics 101: A Black Perspec-
tive" forum. discussing with the four-
member panel the role of political lead-
ers in getting apathetic individuals in-
volved in the govemment and its work—
ings.

Vice Mayor Jim Gray. one of the
panelists. encouraged people to view
apathy from the position of those who
felt neglected by the govemment and to

look for new solutions.

"Apathy is not necessarily a sign of
ignorance." Gray said. adding that if
people are disappointed repeatedly with
the workings of the govemment. it is
understandable that they would be apa-
thetic.

Those in government should figure
out ways to influence change. Gray
said, rather than just sit back.

First District Councilwoman An-
drea James. another panelist. said she
has made efforts to educate the public.
but there have still been times when
only about eight people in a precinct
voted.

Her office regularly sent out infor-
mational e—mails and conducted polls

CELEBRATING 36 YEARS OF INDEPENDENCE

politicians debate how to engage voters

on important issues. she said.

Panelist and former councilman
Jacques Wigginton argued
that individuals are responsi-
ble for being well informed
and electing representatives
who think of their con
stituents‘ best interests. He
said he thinks some politi—
cians depend on voters‘ igno—
rance and apathy.

The panelists also dis-
cussed the role of money in
politics and how it affects
voter information.

Money may have some negative ef—
fects. James said. but candidates cannot
reach out to the public without money

"Apathy is not
necessarily
a sign of
ignorance."

to pay for communications.

Campaign finances are important
because politics in itself is
like any business. Gray
said.

“Running a business
needs advertisement. and
this is possible only if we
have the money to do so."
he said. adding that it
would nevertheless be
ideal to have a more in-
formed electorate. reduc-
ing the amount of money
needed to educate voters.

Elected officials on any level have
to stay invested in their constituents.
said panelist and former UK Student

JIM GRAY

Govemment president Jonah Brown.

It was important for SC to talk to
students and explain to them the impor-
tance of their involvement. he said. just
as it was essential for students to edu-
cate themselves about 50.

James also noted the importance of
the relationship between the student
body and the urban county gov’em—
ment.

“Students need to be involved." she
said. "The student body is a large pan
of the city."

James concluded by saying that in
Lexington. officials and their con-
stituents need to look at what has hap-
pened in the past and plan for a better
future for the community.

Businesses prepare students through rapid practice interviews

Students will race around round-
robin-style. competing against each oth-
er tomorrow in interviews with local
businesses to get a taste of what a real
interview setting is like.

The Gatton College of Business and
Economics is hosting the Round Robin
Interviews in hopes of better preparing
students for the job—interviewing
process.

The idea for the event. which is sim-
ilar to the process ofSpeed dating. sur-

faced last spring among career mentors
on campus.

“One of the reasons for such an
event as this is that when speaking to
various employers. it was stated that stu-
dents need to polish up their interview—
ing skills." said Azetta Williams. a ca—
reer counselor in the Stucken Career
Center.

"Students need to become less ner-
vous in an interviewing setting. and this
event is meant to help in doing Just
that." Williams said.

The Round Robin Interviews are

The UK and University of
Louisville men's basketball head
coaches have a preseason
rnatchup today that has less to
do with on-court skills than with
generosity.

UK's Billy Gillispie will
pass a ball to U of L‘s Rick Citi—
no e with members of both
university communities taking it
between them from Lexington
to Louisville _, in the ”Score
One for Kids" fundraising
event.

Gillispie will toss a basket—
ball at 10 am. today in the
downtown Central Bank Build—
ing lobby to the first of many
volunteers who will dribble the
ball to the Fayette County line
on its joumey to Louisville The
basketball will travel to the
Fayette County line. where it
will bounce into a van and be
picked up at the Jefferson
County line by L' of L. basket—
ball coach Rick Pitino. He’ll
pass it on to l' of L students.
who will then dribble it to the
finish line.

About 30 students from UK
have volunteered to help dribble
the ball. Although the original
plan was to dribble the ball
down ITS. Route (ill. there are
not enough people to carry it

tions to avoid any peak traffic

The event aims to raise
money for two causes the

This weekend. an audience
halfway around the world will
ha\e a chance to hear the work
of a UK graduate student.

Organist Paul Ayres will
give the premiere performance
of "George Frederic Handel." a

will mark the first time that one
of his compositions will be pre-
miered outside the United

Sorkoplas wrote "George
Frederic Handel” a year ago for
a CD project that was going to
be done by Ayres. but the piece
was not chosen to be part of the
project. Ayres instead asked
Sot'koplas if he could keep the
score of "George Frederic Han-
del" so the piece could possibly
be performed later.

Sovkoplas said he was excit-
ed that A) res had chosen to per
form his composition. consider-
ing the obstacles that composers
face when writing music.

“It is challenging to sit down

Affleck shot "Assassination
of Jesse James." based on the
novel by Ron Hansen. adapted
by director Andrew Dominik. a
year and a half ago. in the
woods and prairies of Calgary.
Alberta (subbing for IXROs Mis—

tailed production. right down to
the buttons on the cast‘s long
johns.

“The movie was rehearsed
in Andrew‘s mind for no less
than five years." says Affleck
about his director. a New
Zealander who introduced Eric
Bana to the world in the brutal
Down Under character study
Chopper.

“I've never seen a movie so
well prepared." Affleck says of
the elegiac Western. “Andrew

put everything of himself into
the movie. When we showed up
for the standard two-week re—
hearsal period. every single de-
tail had been designed. every
stitch of clothing had been scru-

says. “They are guys who often

bad guns — so I was as good as
some of them probably were in
real life. back in those days. You
just pick up the gun. you aim
and shoot.

"As for the horses k I love
