US forces kill Osama bin Laden By Rick Montgomery and Scott Canon MCT
The tall, lean, rich man's son could have spent his life lounging about Saudi Arabia in luxury. Instead, Osama bin Laden chose to kill. President Barack Obama announced from the White House late Sunday that bin Laden had been killed by a special operation in Pakistan. His body is in the custody of U.S. officials. In the mind of the American public, bin Laden was often seen as the person whose sinister creativity resulted in atrocities committed in the name of Islamic fanaticism. In truth, experts said he served more as idol and motivator to militant Muslims who were convinced that America's support of Israel and its presence in Saudi Arabia demanded bloodshed. Bin Laden's charismatic ways, his fortune and his ability to extract money from other wealthy Islamic extremists gave sophistication and firepower to a terrorism campaign that had been lurching from one haphazard car bombing to the next. Without bin Laden, the terrorist hijackers may well have stayed home to wage their protests, never to imagine unleashing attacks in the United States.
“I was the most optimistic” that destruction and death at the World Trade Center would be massive, bin Laden declared with characteristic hubris in a videotape. Once seen by Washington as a freedom fighter, bin Laden launched the militant organization a-Qaida during the Soviet Union's invasion of Afghanistan. Over the years, al-Qaida provided training to as many as 11,000 men who passed through its terrorist camps in Afghanistan. Al-Qaida is now thought to have secret soldiers in four dozen countries. Federal authorities have implicated bin Laden in some of the bloodiest crimes of the past decade: The 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center. The 1998 bombings of U.S. embassies in Tanzania and Kenya. The 2000 bombing of the USS Cole in Yemen. As for the Sept. 11, 2001, atrocities, the terrorist leader made clear his satisfaction, if not his responsibility. He was born Osama bin Muhammad bin Awad bin Laden in Jiddah, Saudi Arabia. Most accounts placed his birth in 1957, although he suggested different years to different interviewers. The 1979 Soviet invasion of Afghanistan

Todd to pass Top 20 goal to Capilouto By Ben Jones bjones@kykernel.com
Last man standing UAB provost chosen as presidential finalist By Patrick T. Sullivan psullivan@kykernel.com
The wait is finally over. The UK Board of Trustees unanimously voted to select University of Alabama at Birmingham Provost Eli Capilouto as its preferred candidate to be UK’s 12th president Sunday, ending the roughly six-month long search to replace outgoing President Lee Todd. Capilouto, 61, will be subject to student, faculty and staff forums Monday before he is officially named president. “We couldn’t be happier with this selection,” Board of Trustees Chairman Britt Brockman said. “The University of Alabama has made great strides nationally. They’ve taken a very hospital-oriented university and over the last decade, gone into make their undergraduate education as strong as their hospital side. Eli Capilouto has been at the forefront and has been responsible for most of, if not all, of that growth.” An Alabama native, Capilouto has held several positions at UAB since joining the faculty in 1975. He was a dean in its School of Public Health and a senior executive administrator before becoming provost in 2005. During his tenure at UAB, he helped lead the adoption of a more transparent budgeting system and continued increases in research funding for an institution that is one of the nation’s leading public medical and health sciences campuses. Capilouto holds a bachelor’s degree from the University of Alabama, a Doctor-

Lee Todd wants you to know that the UK’s Top 20 mandate was not his idea. That was actually former Gov. Paul Patton’s idea, when in 1997 he presented to the General Assembly a broader plan to overhaul the state’s higher education system. But if it was Patton’s idea, then it was Todd’s crusade. Nothing will affect Todd’s legacy more than UK’s ambitious Top 20 goal. Now, Todd knows he’s leaving the university with a legacy that has yet to be determined or understood. "I think (Top 20) will be a part of it for sure and I would hope that they focus on the strides that we made in that direction, more so than that we haven't been able to make a lot of progress in the measures because of the situations that we had,” Todd said. “But it will certainly be something that will be part of the legacy, and I'm fine with that. Because we're a lot better institution having strived to achieve that than we would have been had we not had that.” Even today, after nearly a decade helming the state's flagship institution for higher learning, he looks more like a professor walking hurriedly across campus on his way to a 9:30 chemistry class than the face of a university. In fact, earlier in life, he was an engineering professor at UK. Then he started two businesses of his own, each of which went on to be wildly successful. But when his alma mater came calling, he didn’t hesitate. There was nothing he would rather be doing than the job of UK’s 11th president. “I often say I've been fortunate enough to live out several dreams,” he said. But Todd’s dream job wasn’t always a smooth ride. In his first year in office, he had to face the NCAA for recruiting violations committed by the football team before his arrival. That was the most trying time for him. After, he pledged that the athletic department would remain off probation during his time here — a promise he kept. Todd would later face other tough roads. After the state legislature funded the Top 20 business plan in the early years of Todd’s tenure, the recession hit the Commonwealth hard. The plan called for funding to escalate by $18 million a year, but that increase didn’t come. “I’ve tried to hold the state responsible for helping us achieve See TODD on page 3

OSAMA Continued from page 1 upended what could have been a life of ease for the man in his early 20s. Galvanized by what he saw as an epic battle between Muslims and godless communists, he joined the Afghan resistance. His fighters were backed by American and Saudi tax dollars and advised by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency. In the late 1980s, bin Laden began to tell followers of a vision that had come to him of a global jihad to be waged by Muslims around the world. So evolved al-Qaida, Arabic for “the base.” After the Soviet withdrawal from Afghanistan in 1989, bin Laden returned to Saudi Arabia a hero, working briefly in the family business. A sought-after speaker, he also released a quarter-million cassette tapes that outlined a new enemy in his sights. “When we buy American goods,” he said in one tape, “we are accomplices in the murder of Palestinians. ... The United States uses that money to send a billion (dollars) a year to Israel.” His anti-Western rhetoric intensified in 1990, when
Saudi rulers allowed American military personnel to use the birthplace of Islam as a staging ground for the Gulf War. His radical reading of Quran scripture called for violence to eradicate from Islam all traces of secular culture from pop music to modern fashions to U.S. soldiers. Saudi Arabia expelled bin Laden in 1991 because of his anti-government activities. He wound up in Sudan, which expelled him in 1996 under pressure from American and Saudi diplomats. Bin Laden personally claimed responsibility for the deaths of 18 American soldiers associated with the 1993 downing of a U.S. Army helicopter in Somalia. That same year, a truck bomb exploded in an underground garage of the World Trade Center. Investigators linked bin Laden to a loose organization of Islamic extremists recruiting terrorists in the United States. What ostensibly had begun as a battle to liberate Afghanistan and Islam's three holiest places Mecca, Medina and Jerusalem would soon become a holy war, a jihad, against the United States. “Kill the Americans and plunder their money wherever they find it,” bin Laden wrote in his 1998 fatwa, or
holy decree. He accused Americans of waging war on God. The terrorist leader once compared jihad against the Western world to the Afghans' successful stand against the Soviets. Al-Qaida embedded coded messages in innocuouslooking Web sites, stored bomb recipes on CD-ROMs. Bin Laden used couriers to communicate with his agents face to face. His plotters rarely gave themselves away. U.S. intelligence officers for years tried to track the terrorists' activities from an office known as the bin Laden Room, deep within CIA headquarters. He became the international poster boy of terror when American authorities accused the gaunt, 150-pound man in the 1998 bombings of two U.S. embassies in Africa, in which more than 250 persons died. In 2000, many doubters were silenced. A bomb-laden suicide boat bobbing in a Yemeni harbor blew a hole in the USS Cole, killing 17 American sailors. The plot had bin Laden's fingerprints all over it, authorities said. The Sept. 11, 2001, onslaught on America came three years after bin Laden warned of a “black day for

Many anchors covered wedding The marriage ceremony of Britain’s Prince William and Catherine Middleton, now the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, occurred precisely as planned, defying leaden London skies and a cynical modern age to provide a glimpse of the solemn and brilliant pageantry now mostly consigned to myth, and the inexplicable faith we apparently still have in love and marriage. And for the 15 minutes it took for the bride to enter the church and the two attractive young people to exchange their vows, it was lovely and touching, and when they departed in their open carriage with all the queen's horses and all the queen's men in attendance, it was spectacular. But mostly the hoopla was a lesson in just how many hours some of the highest-paid television journalists in the world can spend discussing a bridal dress they have not seen while watching people they do not know mill about in Westminster Abbey wearing in large hats. Far too many. TV coverage of the royal wedding start-

Americans ... when we do not differentiate between the military and civilians.” With a $25 million bounty on his head and worldwide pressure on Islamic nations to root him out, once-friendly Pakistan, Yemen and Iran turned their backs. Only Afghanistan's ruling Taliban offered safe haven, as it had since 1996. Most of the Arab world remained calm amid U.S. military strikes on Afghanistan. Even the most radical Muslim groups backed off their cheerleading for bin Laden, figuring his once-heroic stature was crumbling. “The vast, vast majority of Muslims in the Middle East find him to be a despicable character,” said Wake Forest University religion department chairman Charles Kimball, shortly after the terrorist strikes. A dozen heavily armed and masked guards flanked the fugitive when he appeared in public. Whether martyrdom was really part of bin Laden's grand plan, as he had often claimed, will remain a matter of debate. Many experts think he fancied himself not a martyr but the ultimate survivor, a slayer of superpowers and, Allah willing, the next ruler of Islam.

TODD Continued from page 1 (Top 20),” Todd said. Tuition went up. Pay raises for staff and faculty were stalled. Though Todd had planned on giving raises to staff when the Top 20 plan was written, they were withheld when the additional state funding that was initially planned on dried up. Ernie Yanarella, a political science professor who served as faculty representative on the Board of Trustees from 2006-10, saw the challenge Todd faced in Frankfort in those years. “I think that (Todd) wished that Kentucky was like North Carolina,” Yanarella said. “North Carolina, some decades ago, made a basic decision to support higher education as an important element of improving the quality of life of North Carolinian citizens. … We don’t have that in Kentucky.” Patton feels differently. Now the president of Pikeville College, he doesn’t criticize the state for failing to provide funding during an “unprecedented” financial crisis. “Governors and legislators can set all kinds of goals, but somebody has to implement them. You have to have boots on the ground,” Patton said. “Rather than ignore that goal, he has pursued it even in the most difficult times … It would have been easy for him to say ‘If you’re not going to give us the money to fund this plan, then forget about it.’ That’s not the path he took.” The state funding never returned to the levels that were called for in the business plan. Todd’s time, once marked with promise and a lofty goal, will now end with several questions unresolved. “It will be seen as a tenure of great challenge, of serious effort to engage that, and a measure of tragedy,” Yanarella said. When Todd enters a room, it never takes long for him to find a friend. He’s often the last person to leave a reception. No matter where he goes, he’s not a stranger. “I think he comes across as a thinking social person in a sense that he seems to genuinely enjoy the limelight,” Yanarella said. “He certainly has no trouble talking with anyone one-on-one. He also is someone who comes across as quite self-reflective.”

Both men and women agree on disagreements MARTHA GROPPO Kernel columnist
Boys will be boys. Girls just want to have fun. Women are from Venus, men are from Mars. We have a thousand pet phrases to describe why we are different, why we are right and why we just sometimes don’t get along. But why do we really fight? We have mostly the same problems, wishes and wants. Most weeks, it was difficult to think of differences between boys and girls to write about for this column. Could it be that we just sort of enjoy not getting along? No one likes the guy who contradicts you if you say the day is nice, the sky is blue or the date is over. But the guy who agrees with everything you say is unappealing. It’s basically statistically impossible that you will find someone with identical opinions. That would be called cloning. And dating your clone is probably a lot more illegal than marrying your cousin — even in Kentucky. A relationship with no discussion is no fun. Why? Because you fight with people you care about. You probably don’t care why that kid in your economics class thinks we should use a monetary system based on an edible standard or why your professor thinks dead week means he should try to kill you, but you do want to know what makes the person you like tick. Nagging works the same
&
way. You tell him that he should eat something green (not including jelly beans, Starbursts or Skittles) and he tells you to get some sleep (and not get up at 5 a.m. to watch the Royal Wedding). We pretend that our differences are greater so we have something to nag about. We want to have something to nag about because we want to show that we care. Little kids chase each other on the playground, lovers quarrel and the elderly fuss over each other. But in the end, we aren’t that different, and the differences we do have are what we love about each other. We can agree to disagree. And we can agree that disagreeing can be quite agreeable.

ANDY BURRESS Kernel columnist
I’ve actually spent a lot of time trying to explain this to a good friend of mine here lately, so let me just continue. Plainly put, we fight because we care. There’s nothing revolutionary in that. I didn’t just come up with it all on my own, but we do tend to forget when it matters most.
We get caught up in the frustrated back-and-forth. When the bell rings, everything turns to red and we throw our jabs as quick as we can. No mercy. Do we really want to win? Is it worth so much that we’ll spare so little? Suddenly the girl next to you has become, at least momentarily, little more than an argument; a point you don’t agree with. She’s brutal. She’s a ball of fury ready to do work. But let’s pause right here and analyze for a bit. There’s a touch of pink that has filled her cheeks. She’s clinching her jaw just a little tighter between words. And she uses her hands to grab whatever is near, giving her balance and support during the battle. It’s cute. Fun, even. We’re not looking to change the world. More than likely the entire fight stemmed from which “Rocky” movie was the best, when we very well know she never liked any of them in the first place. It doesn’t have to be all low blows and rabbit punches. Sometimes you should just put up your arms and let them swing. Because in the long run, all they need in that moment is someone to swing at. It’s unfortunate that we never take the time to stop between rounds and just smile at the other. It doesn’t have to mean that everything’s been settled, that the winner’s been decided. It just reminds how much we care. Even further, it shows how much we care that we care. We should all be so lucky. Andy is an integrated strategic communication senior.

Green Bay Packers select Cobb in second round By Ethan Levine sports@kykernel.com
When UK all-American wide receiver Randall Cobb was invited to attend the NFL Draft, members of the football team and fans throughout the Bluegrass were given a tremendous bode of confidence that their golden boy would be selected in the first round on the draft. Then Thursday night’s first round in New York’s Radio City Music Hall came and went, and Cobb never heard his name called from the green room. While many were panicked, Cobb remained calm and optimistic about his draft prospects heading into Friday night’s second and third rounds. Cobb tweeted, “I know God is working so I smile … Even though I been here for a while … I smile! #faithalone.” When Cobb and his close family and friends, including UK head football coach Joker Phillips, arrived back at the draft Friday night, they again sat and waited in the green room to hear Cobb’s name called. As the second round drew to a close, Cobb still had not been selected, and he and those close to him did not know how long they would have to wait if he fell to the third round.

UK wide receiver Randall Cobb dives for a touchdown in the second half of a game against Auburn at Commonwealth Stadium on Oct, 9, 2010. That’s when the defending Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers went on the clock with the 64th overall pick, the final pick of the second round. The Packers selected Cobb with that pick and welcomed him as the newest target on offensive for their Super Bowl MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Upon being selected, Cobb was again active on Twitter, changing his photograph on the popular social networking website to a shot of him sporting a Packers cap on stage after being selected. He also tweeted, “Green and yellow green and yellow!!!!! Uh huh u know what it is!!!!!!” after the Packers se-
lected him. Cobb joins former UK punter Tim Masthay as a member of the world champion Packers, and Masthay was active on Twitter as well when he found out Cobb would be joining him in Green Bay. Masthay first tweeted “Randall!!! Congrats to him, im pumped!!” and then tweeted “@rcobb18 Congrats man, hopefully I’ll see you soon!” Cobb’s selection with the 64th overall pick is the highest a UK football player has been selected in the NFL draft since Dewayne Robertson was taken in the first round of the 2003 draft by the New York Jets.
Scoreboard privately funded UK loan to Athletics dropped after opposition By Rachel Aretakis raretakis@kykernel.com
In a plan that would loan UK Athletics money for new scoreboards and a sound system for Commonwealth Stadium, the university decided to drop the plan and it will instead be financed by private funds. UK faculty and staff expressed concern about the plan on Monday in a Faculty Council meeting that would loan the Athletics Association $3.1 million for the $6.25 million project. In the meeting they voted unanimously against the plan, asking the Board of Trustees not to approve the plan, according to an article in the Lexington Herald-Leader. The plan to fund the project was dropped on Thursday. “The university still believed it offered good financial arrangement, but the Council on Postsecondary Education expressed concern,” Jay Blanton, UK spokesman, said. “As we thought about it, there was a decision made to withdraw a proposal from the council.” He said after much consideration they decided it was the best route, and the important thing from the athletics perspective is to get the work done. Hollie Swanson, the chairwoman of the faculty senate, said she was pleased with the university’s decision to drop the plan. “My take away from this is that we put some pressure on (the university), that we weren’t happy about it that. We had concerns and that the administration responded,” she said. Swanson said she has gotten responses from faculty members being pleased that the administration heard them. “Our concern is that were giving our stu-
dents what they need to succeed as a university,” Swanson said. Ernie Yanarella, a political science professor, began a petition to faculty members that opposed the loan. “I’m pleased that UK athletics association has been willing to dig into money that its already had for a very expensive score board and sound system that many people have questioned,” Yanarella said. “If they want to pay for it, I’m happy for them to do so.” The petition drive started last Tuesday, he said. It was brought to the Senate Council at the meeting on Monday. “It seems to me at that point that we needed to mobilize more widely across the whole campus, among faculty who were similarly irate about the proposed action,” he said. He said the petition drive will not close until Monday, and he hopes to have between 200 and 300 signatures. Yanarella said he is hoping to speak about it at the next senate meeting to talk about the significance of the petition and “its importance for future protests that relate to financing higher education,” he said. “I think that they misgauged faculty attitudes about the proposed action,” Yanarella said. According to the article, athletics will request the Board of Trustees to approve $4.6 million to be taken from a UK Athletics “quasi-endowment” fund. Blanton said in the article that the fund has a balance of more than $14 million and comes from donors for “nonspecific purposes.” “After five years or so of the faculty and staff stepping up to assist the university and its budgetary woes, it strikes many faculty, and I believe, that its time for the sports program likewise to step up and come to the aid of the University of Kentucky,” Yanarella said.
Changes may take time New president will make administration decisions By Nicole Schladt news@kykernel.com
As the final days of Lee Todd’s presidency draw near, speculation over possible changes in administration as a result of an incoming president is stirring on campus. “It is premature to answer any of these questions prior to the selection of a president,” Jay Blanton, UK spokesman, said in an email to the Kernel. “The new president will make decisions regarding his or her administrative team, as was the case with President Todd, and is the case at every major university.” Bernie Vonderheide, the former director of public relations at UK, also warned that changes in administration may not happen overnight.
“Even after we know who (the new president) is, only time will tell how his or her personality and method of operation will fit the University of Kentucky and what his or her goals will be,” Vonderheide said. Vonderheide, who has served beneath three different UK presidents, said that administrative changes will probably only occur after the new president’s method and goals are clear. He pointed toward former president David Roselle as an example of a chief executive making necessary administrative changes within the university. Roselle, UK’s ninth president, is well known for responding to NCAA allegations of misconduct within the university’s basketball
program. “All of a sudden this mathematician, who everyone was calling weak or flimsy, rolls up and says we’re going to clean up this program,” Vonderheide said. Roselle’s willingness to make changes in administration after this scandal demonstrated how strong he was as a president, Vonderheide said. He suggested that UK’s new president should look at Roselle’s actions as a guide for responding to crises in the future. “You really don’t know how he or she will adjust to the crises that plague universities of this size,” Vonderheide said. “Eventually, if he or she is a good president, the staff will be rearranged if need be.”

The Way Too Much Paperwork Award goes to UK Education Abroad.
KERNEL EDITORIAL
Golden Forks 20102011, and the losers are ... Years ago — or so the legend goes — an embittered Kernel editor came back to the office upset, hurt, insulted. A prominent campus figure had unfairly harangued the young reporter for an offense that he did not commit. It was at that point, in the heat and sweat of tension, that the young editor vowed revenge. From those feelings of hate, the Golden Forks were born. As a testament to that young reporter we take it upon ourselves to strike back with venomous pleasure at those who have wronged the mighty “Fourth Estate.” Editor’s note: OK, OK that’s a lie. We’re a bunch of sarcastic, immature college students who feel like venting their frustrations at the end of the year. It’s unfortunate that some of you must bear the brunt of that. But take comfort in the fact that in about a month the summer Kernel begins, under the direction of Becca “Don’t call me Rebecca” Clemons, and then comes the fall with the woman you love to hate, Taylor Moak. You are encouraged to make the life of these two fine young women a living hell. Until then, if you’re upset, feel free to send in letters to the editor, as always. But this is the last issue, so they won’t get printed. We’ll read them though. Have a good summer.
“Supposedly” UK has a great Education Abroad program ... that is, if you can get through all the paperwork. The amount of paperwork students must fill out for UK Education Abroad is more than even the Rhodes Scholar application. Clearly, this is the reason tree huggers don’t study abroad. (Yeah, that’s not really true ... )
The Kick Yo’ Face Award goes to all of the campus robberies last fall. Thanks to the subsequent campus-area robberies, UK Alert blew up with notifications. But nothing can beat kicking your assailant in the face, like the student who was attacked in K Lot did. To expand on the advice of Antoine Dodson, inspiration for the viral “Bed Intruder Song” YouTube video: Hide yo kids, hide yo wife, hide yo husbands, too ... and find this karate-master student to protect you.
The Double Duty Award goes to Ryan Smith, UK student body president for the 2009 — 2010 and 2010 — 2011 school years. He also served on the Presidential Search Committee as the graduate student representative. What did he accomplish, you ask? Instituting a drunk bus program for students, and picking a new president that no one knew anything about Ryan Smith until the last week of the semester. We should elect student presidents to two terms more often.
This blurb was adapted from the April 28, 1989, edition of the Golden Forks Awards.
The Behind Closed Doors Award goes to the UK Presidential Search Committee. So President Lee Todd is stepping down in June, but his successor wasn’t announced until finals week. What were the committee members trying to hide? Who? Where? When? Why? How? Inquiring minds want to know ...
The Benedict Arnold Award goes to UK spokesman Jay Blanton. In October, when UK officials stopped eight Kernel advertising staff members from distributing Kernel newspapers at Commonwealth Stadium, Blanton sided with the officials. He said on behalf of UK that the Kernel had the right to print, but not to distribute, at the stadium. Jay Blanton Keep in mind that Blanton was a Kernel editor back in the day. What’s up with that, Jay?
The Will You Stay or Will You Go? Award goes to Tolly Ho.
The Winningest Mike Hartline + 1.
Mike Hartline
In the first edition of the Kernel this school year, Tolly Ho announced it was moving to the old Harts Drycleaning building on South Broadway. In a March Kernel article, a Tolly Ho worker was quoted as saying the restaurant was moving in April. It’s May now. What’s the deal?
Couple Award goes to
Ashley Carnes
In his senior year, Hartline was supposed to be the starting quarterback at UK’s BBVA Compass Bowl game. Then he and his cheerleader girlfriend, Ashley Carnes, decided to get drunk and make a scene, which resulted in the pair’s
arrests. Don’t drink, kids. It’s not a good idea.
The I
Love Mountains So Much, I’m Going to Sleep on the Floor to Prove It Award goes to Wendell Berry, a renowned Kentucky author and environmental activist. Berry removed his papers from UK archives after UK announced plans to name the new men’s basketball dorm Wildcat Coal Lodge — coal being the operative word. Wendell Berry And he slept in the Frankfort Capitol for a whole weekend to show his views. Basically, this old guy is a rebel. (Because of Berry’s adament attitude, the Kernel Editorial Board considered calling this award the Screw You, UK Award, but thought the mental imagery of an old guy sleeping on the floor was much more epic.)
The Golden Tipple Award goes to the Wildcat Coal Lodge. (For all of you unfamiliar with the term, a tipple is the tool used in coal mining.) The lobby of the new Wildcat Coal Lodge is supposed to be a shrine to coal. And this relates to UK/basketball ... how? It’s not like they give public tours at the Wildcat Lodge, so did whoever came up with this redecoration plan think that basketball players would suddenly become outspoken coal advocates?
The Worst Fashion Choice Ever Award goes to Josh Harrellson.
Josh Harrellson
Sure, he was the only senior on the 2010-11 men’s basketball roster, but that doesn’t mean that he’s suddenly a fashion guru. Seriously, jorts were so 1980s. Is it really a compliment to be nicknamed after a dated clothing item? The better question for you, Josh: Do you buy your jean shorts, or do you cut up your own?
The Taking Your Work Home With You Award goes to “the marijuana lady,” a.k.a. Tracey Ellerbe, former UK Center on Drugs and Alcohol Research manager for community-based services. She got a little carried away with her work and was charged with taking home her “research subject” for personal use. Along the same lines as the Tracey Ellerbe
Winningest Couple Award advice, don’t do drugs,
kids. Remember: Hugs, not drugs.
The Subject
of the Weirdest UK Alert Message Ever Award goes to the W. T. Young Library foot stabber. A creepy guy crawling under tables and puncturing people’s feet at the library was last seen wearing yellow/orange shorts ... or was it shoes? Thanks, foot stabber, for helping UK become the topic of the weekly weird news segment at news venues across the U.S. You might have gotten away for now (near the vending machines, of all places — which begs the question, are vending machines the new Supermanstyle phone booths? That should be checked out), but there probably aren’t many places that haven’t heard about the suspect with yellow/orange shorts ... or shoes.
