The goal of Cram Jam is to accomplish what the Student Activities Board’s Crunch Brunch does every fall. Although in its sec- ond year, SG hopes Cram Jam can become a dead week staple, making students’ lives a little easier. “Students should go to Cram Jam be- cause it’s the perfect opportunity to take their minds off tests, papers and projects and have fun,” said Kyle Snapp, the SG deputy chief of communications. “They will be able to spend time with a diverse array of students who are all there to get away from the stress- es of the classroom.” This year will feature a “carnival” theme, with snacks such as corn dogs, nachos and cotton candy. Other events will include cornhole, pickup bas- ketball games, a massage table, music and tours of the Joe Craft Center. Free food and drinks will be offered, and the first 1,500 students will get a free T-shirt. “I love the diverse population of UK stu- dents that come out to Cram Jam,” said Stephen Bilas, SG president-elect and current chief of staff. Bilas said the event is good to relax and take a break from studying. “Our goal is to provide a relaxing event during a traditionally stressful time for stu- dents,” he said. In addition to events, there will also be several new additions for this year incorpo- rating the theme, including carnival games, the snack shack and a safety-dog petting sta- tion. UK Athletics will also provide a 64-foot inflatable obstacle course. “Cram Jam is special because it’s a time for students to hang out with friends they haven’t seen for a while,” said Tamika Tom- poulidis, director of student organizations for Student Government. “During the craziness of finals week, we often forget to say good- bye to all our friends and Cram Jam is a great opportunity for this.” “It’s going to be a smörgåsbord of fun and relaxation,” said Clay Lampl, Student Government’s deputy chief of staff for cam- pus issues.

Don't lose your sense ofdirection, either. It will all get eas-ier soon. Lie low for a while.

REASON TO WATCH: It’s “Fear Factor” in a powerfailure!WHAT IT’S ABOUT: Four contestants — or (inWednesday night’s second episode) four cou-ples — must rely on their other four senseswhen the lights go out. Awaiting them in var-ious tanks in a pitch-black studio are allkinds of weird stuff: animal, vegetable andmineral.

We meet the players, cocky and boastingbeforehand; watch them squirm and squeal (inblackout-lensed blue-and-white), makingwrongheaded guesses as to the objects’ identi-ties while the disembodied voice of host JaleelWhite coaches and quips; then afterward heartheir reactions. The sorta-kicker is, the leastaccurate guesser gets dropped down a trap-door “black hole,” while the others continueon to rounds 2 (another trapdoor) and 3 (twofinalists).

Their imaginations get the best of mostcontestants, so we get to see girls swear up a(bleeped) storm, tough guys whimper and gayguys act, well, cliche gay. But what would you

do, blind and sticking your hand into a tank ofroaches or eels? Or forced in the dark to locateand eat blue cheese off a hairy human belly?Would you recognize the scent of smellyarmpit?MY SAY: I’m no smarter than the contestants.Thought I was going to hate “Total Blackout.”Then couldn’t help laughing out loud whenone Fearless Dude smelling the blue cheesepromptly wrinkled his nose and spat, “Poop?”

The couples are cool, too, in coachingeach other through the fright and identifica-tions. And to its credit, “Total Blackout”makes one of TV’s most diverse casting ef-forts, bringing in all races, origins and sexualorientations (but did the gays have to be sooogay?). Even the youthful demographic gets ashake-up when one guy pairs with his 60ishFrench mom.

So — yes, I’m ashamed of myself. But agirl’s gotta slum sometime. Better ogling theoddities of this behavior than “Maury.”BOTTOM LINE: Irresistible.

President Barack Obama participated in a confer-ence call Tuesday with college reporters to discuss thepossibility of interests rates doubling for student loans.

Obama said that 7.4 million could be affected bythe interest rate increase as of July 1.

“I’ve always believed that we should be doingeverything we can to help put higher education withinreach for every single American student — becausethe unemployment rate for Americans with at least acollege degree is about half the national average,” hesaid. “And it’s never been more important. Unfortu-nately, it’s also never been more expensive.”

He spoke of personal debt experiences for bothhimself and first lady Michelle Obama during theircollege and law school days.

He stressed the importance of higher education.“It’s an economic imperative that every family has

got to be able to afford,” he said.Three million more Pell grants were added, and

middle-class families will benefit from a $10,000 taxcredit. Also, the age limit for young adults to be ontheir parents’ health insurance is now 26.

Obama encourages students to speak out againstrising interest rates. He referred to Twitter, and sug-gested that people tweet using #dontdoublemyrate.

“We need to reward hard work and responsibility,”he said. “And part of that is keeping interest rates onstudent loans low so more Americans get a fair shot atan affordable college education, the skills they need tofind a good job, a clear path to the middle class that’snot blocked by a mountain of debt.

“And the time to act is right now, and I’m going toneed your help getting that message out.”

The eCampus.com book-store is planning to renovatethe upstairs of its store andadding a place for students tostudy and hang out withfriends.

The space will also in-clude a game area and a placeto study, along with a fewsnack foods.

The planning has alreadystarted and the renovationshould be finished sometimenext school year.

Manager Chad Saunderssaid he is building this new

study spot to attract studentsto the store and give them a“chill and relaxing place” tostudy or just hang out.

But one of the main rea-sons behind building this spotis for students to read andstudy the books they rent outin the store with its new bookrenting program.

The program allows stu-dents to rent books for either30 minutes, an hour, eighthours, overnight or oneweek and get 20 to 40 per-cent off, depending on rentallength.

Students must read thebooks in the store if they are

renting for 30 minutes or anhour.

“I always try to find thecheapest way to buy books,and I usually find them on-line, but don’t use them asmuch as I thought,” NatalieLaycock, a finance sopho-more, said.

This new renting programlets students rent books whenthey need them.

“Students can bring theirschedules in next semesterand we will figure out generalpricing for books for nextyear and compare them toother local book stores,”Saunders said.

Students can also save 10percent after their first timerenting books through eCam-pus.com.

“I think it’ll be beneficialbecause it saves students 10percent the next year,” LenaHusayni, a nursing sopho-more, said.

Husayni said she usuallyrents all of her books and thediscount would save her mon-ey.

“I heard about that fromsomeone in my major. I thinkit is a great way to help stu-dents save money and attractstudents to the store,” Lay-cock said.

Students are urged to Chillax thisyear before finals.

This stress-relieving event, calledChillax, will be at the W.T. Young Li-brary gallery and Keeneland Room bythe University Drive entrance.

“A great deal of students don’t knowhow to manage stress, so this event pro-vides them the opportunity to Chillax,eat some healthy food and learn moreabout how to rid themselves or managestress,” said Rachel Carnahan, assistantdirector of the Office of Substance Edu-cation and Responsibility in the Dean ofStudents office.

Student ambassadors realize thatmany students can get stressed out dur-ing the week after and the week of finals,said Kendriana Price, the outreach chair-man for the Student Wellness Ambassa-

dors.The event includes information about

how to deal with some of the stress thatcomes along with the end of the semes-ter.

“This year we will be offering freemassages, yoga and a spin-ning wheel that studentscan win free prizes on,which can help studentsrelax during this stressfultime of year,” Price said.

Chillax is a newerevent that has been goingon for a few years.

“This event startedfour semesters ago and hasalways been held at theW.T. Young Library,” saidMatt Soergel, vice presi-dent of the Student WellnessAmbassadors.

The event is held at the library be-

cause students tend to flock there thistime of the year to get their final as-signments and studying done, Soergelsaid.

“There will also be relaxing musicand a lot of information on good study

habits and how to re-lieve stress as well, tohelp students out,” hesaid.

Chillax will beheld at the W.T. YoungLibrary from 8 to 9:30p.m. Thursday.

“Every year theweek before and theweek of finals it iscrazy in the library.This is an event thatcan really help stu-

dents to relax that aretrying really hard and (are) stressed outfrom the end of the semester,” Price said.

The issue of accessibilityon campus for physically dis-abled students is one thatmany of us have never had toconsider — but it is one weall should.

Disabled students cur-rently do not have access tofive campus UK buildings,but even getting onto campusand finding ramps intoaccommodating buildingscan be a challenge.

As students, it is impor-tant we recognize the strug-gles our peers face. We need

to offer our support andencourage the administrationto improve campus accessi-bility.

The high costs of campusrenovations and elevatorinstallations limit anyprogress the administrationcan make.

Yet, as UK moves for-ward with renovations andconstruction in the future, theissue of accessibility must beat the forefront.

When renovating UK’scampus, the university

needs to not only considerthe mandates of Section 504of the Rehabilitation Act of1973 and the Americanswith Disabilities Act, but itneeds to consider the stu-dents on this campus whoseeducation and lives areaffected every day.

UK must not accept thebare minimum for improve-ments and must move awayfrom the problems of the pastas it considers how overallbetter facilities can be builton campus.

UK needs to address accessibility issues

programs accessible.As the university builds

new facilities, officials makesure they are compliant withthe law, Karnes said.

The Americans with Dis-abilities Act and Section 504state that students with disabili-ties are “entitled to benefitfrom all the services of thoseinstitutions and to use campusfacilities,” according to theADA website.

Every building doesn’thave to be accessible; as longas programs can be moved,UK is in compliance with thelaw, Karnes said.

Karnes works with stu-dents with disabilities to ac-commodate their needs. He canhelp move classes if studentscan’t access them.

The building that makes upBarker Hall and Buell Armory,for example, does not have anelevator. If a student can’t ac-cess a class there, Karnes saidthe class will be moved to adifferent building.

A complaint has to be is-sued before the class can be re-located.

Five buildings on campusare in no way accessible toeveryone, Wiseman said. Theyare the Mathews Building,Barker Hall and Buell Armory,and three of the Quad build-ings: Bradley, Breckinridgeand Bowman halls.

“Bradley is the concern be-cause it houses the ombud’s of-fice and international affairs,”Karnes said. The building is anold residence hall, and Karnessaid the cost to install an eleva-tor would be astronomical.

Last summer, a bid to ren-ovate and install an elevator inBradley was estimated at closeto half a million dollars, Wise-man said.

“That’s a major commit-ment of funds to an old facili-ty,” he said.

As for most aging build-ings on campus, Wiseman saidit is important to look into thecost-benefit to each facility.“The cost of the improvementsoutweighs the overall values ofthe buildings,” he said.

He compared aging build-ings to a 1954 pickup truck.When the engine blows, heasked if installing a new engineis really smart. “You may need

a new pickup,” he said.***Though there are roughly

230 elevators on campus, notevery building has an elevator.

“That everything didn’thave an elevator was a sur-

prise,” said Dallas Willoughby,a secondary education fresh-man who travels campus in apower chair.

And in the buildings thatdo have elevators, it isn’t un-common for one to be brokendown. In White Hall, Hobbssaid generally one of the twoelevators isn’t working at agiven time.

“Even if the elevators arethere, it doesn’t mean theywork, or work all the time,”Hobbs said. “Or are easy to getto.”

Of White Hall’s two eleva-tors, one was recently renovat-ed and the other is currentlybeing repaired.

Bill Collins of the physicalplant said renovating an eleva-tor can cost up to $100,000 de-pending on the number offloors and the complexity.

“It’s not just a question ofwhere to find new elevators,”Wiseman said. “The bulk ofour efforts is finding wherethey need to be replaced.”

When an elevator is down,

students call Karnes, who willcall the physical plant. He thenwill pull up the student’s sched-ule to make accommodations,such as class excuses. When hefinds out that elevators aredown, he will inform students,he said.

Hobbs said when she con-tacts the disability center, “theyget somebody on it immediate-ly.”

One of the only timesWilloughby has had troublewas when an elevator in WhiteHall broke down and he wasstuck on the third floor. But hesaid the issue was quicklyresolved.

For his first year on cam-pus, Willoughby said it wasbetter than he expected.

Willoughby lives on NorthCampus and said he doesn’thave too much trouble gettingto class. However, he has totake a longer route to get toWhite Hall.

“The pathways are usual-ly pretty solid,” he said. Asfor lecture halls, he doesn’tget a choice too often ofwhere to sit: in the back or inthe front.

Hobbs said she thinks theuniversity does what it can dofor accessibility, “but there isonly so much they can dowithout demolishing a wholebuilding.”

With the new dorm con-struction beginning on campus,Hobbs said she hopes peoplewith disabilities are taken intoaccount when future structuresare designed.

“This world wasn’t madefor us, unfortunately,” she said.“So it’s understandable ifsomething isn’t the way itshould be.”
