Wellness Hall

gives students
fitness forum

By Celia Love
Contributing Writer

 

 

The moaning and groaning
coming from the basement of Kir-
wan II is not the sound of a Hallo-
ween haunted house. but the
sound of students working away
with weights and bicycles.

Kirwan ll, known as the Well-
ness Hall. is a residence hall dedi-
cated to helping students become
more concerned with health and
fitness. The building‘s old recrea-
tion room now serves as a gym
and offers a multitude of ways to
get and stay in shape.

The hall’s program promotes
the six dimensions of wellness,
which are spiritual, occupational.
physical fitness and nutrition. in-
tellectual, emotional and social,
and community and environment
— which are portrayed in a mural
at the entrance of the wellness
center.

The wellness center houses
stair-step machines, rowing ma-
chines and stationary bicycles for
aerobic exercise and cardiovascu-
lar training. and free weights and
universal type equipment for
weight training.

Hall Director Nathan Frisbie. a
graduate student in sports manage-
ment. said he and the hall's other
resident advisers were chosen be-
cause of their backgrounds in
physical fimess or environmental
sciences.

The Wellness Hall project was
the brainchfld of Jim Plonskonka,
director of Residence Life; Tim
Dunagan. of the wellness depart-
ment; and Alan Rieman, director
of Auxillary Services. Housing
Operations.

Housing fees for residents of
the specialty hall are slightly high-
er than for students in other resi-
dence halls.

“The extra cost per semester
was $36 — or $72 for the school
year of 1993. In l994. the cost
will be $52 per semester —~ or
$104 for the year.

“Delay in the arrival of some of
exercise equipment was the reason
for the reduced rate for 1993,“
Rieman said.

Biology senior Mariana White
said she is willing to pay more for
the services the hall offers.

“I workout three times a week
because I really need to get in
shape. and I feel the extra cost in
room and board is worth it."
White said.

“I especially enjoy working out
with Gilad on ESPN around noon
on weekdays."

Environmental law freshman
Kimberly Childress agreed.

“I chose the wellness program
because I workout every day. l
vary my workouts with weights
and cardiovascular work.

“I plan to stay here the entire

four years because I feel that the
extra cost is worth it to stay in
shape.“

Blood testing was performed on
60 of the 172 residents on a volun-
teer basis. Karen Ashcraft of the
wellness department explained the
results to the students.

The residents will be able to use
this service on a regular basis.
lirisbie said.

The School of Environmental
Sciences is responsible for the in-
terior designs, which colorfully
exhibit wellness in different
forms, in the workout areas and in
the lounging areas on each floor.

The school also will be respon-
sible for offering nutrition advice
and healthy cooking classes in the
future.

Newly installed kitchen appli-
ances will be available for resi-
dents' use 24 hours to help steer
the students toward healthy eating
habits.

Skirmish threatens to undercut
plans for peace demonstration

 

By Mlchelle Faul
Associated Press

 

M()(‘vADlSllU. Somalia —— Sub-
machine gunfire crackled across
central Mogadishu yesterday on the
eve of a protest that threatens to ex-
plode into clan violence.

Somalis said two people were
killed and three wounded in an
hour-long .shmtout over a water
well.

The gunfight was adjacent to the
Kilometcr l-‘our traffic circle in the
southem stronghold of (ien. Mo-
hamed Farrah Aidid. whose sup-
porters held their regular Sunday
rally barely a mile away. It wasn't
clear if those in the shootout were

affiliated with Aidid or his oppo
nents.

Aidid‘s deputy, Mohamed Nur
Aliyo. repeated warnings against a
demonstration planned for today
Protesters plan to cross the Green
Line dividing rival clan leader Ali
Mahdi Mohamed‘s territory from
south Mogadishu.

Tens of thousands of people an:
expected.

"If they come over. we are not re-
sponsible for what will happen."
Aliyo told hundreds of cheering
peorile at the rally. "They want this
to create problems. not support
peace."

Ali Mahdi mmcast a message
Saturday night saying, “If anyone

exism clear
in advertising,
speaker says

 

By Shane Carlin
Contributing Writer

 

Women are treated as sex objects
in the advertising world, said Ann
Russo, a professor of women's
studies at Massa-
chusetts Institute
of Technology
and Tufts Univer-
sity.

“My objectives
are really to show
some connections
between pomog—
raphy and adver-
tising and also to
get people to start
discussing the ob-
jectification of
women and how
women are made
into commodity.“
Russo said.

Russo gave a
lecture on the
“Buying and Sell-
ing of Women's
Bodies" Friday af-
ternoon in the
President's Room at the Otis A.
Singletary Center for the Arts. lt
was a part of the lSth-annual Wom-
en Writers Conference.

Russo gave a slide presentation
that showed examples she had cho-
sen to illustrate how women can be
portrayed as sex objects.

For instance. a jeans advertise-
ment had a woman in bed with
tight shorts and a sheet barely cov-
ering her top.

Other slides were pictures from
different pornographic magazines.

“It was very strange to sit and

her family, said she wants to

watch images that l have seen either
in magazines or film or television
and other images that I haven't
seen." UK instructor Shelda Hale
said.

Some women between 13 and 18
years old get into pornography be-
cause it‘s an easy
way to make
money, Russo
said. Abuse in
the past by boy-
friends or fathers,
and glamorira-
tion are other rea-
sons. she said.

“I‘m not in a
group that fights
against pomegra-
phy. but l‘ve def-
initely been a
pan of activism
against pomogra-
phy. But. I'm
not affiliated
with one group."
Russo said.

Russo. who

present her lecture because she
knows the kind of abuses that are
going on around the nation all the
time.

The fact that she was abused.
however. was not the main catalyst
for her lectures

“I can‘t change what happened to
me. but l can change what happens
to other people." Russo said.

”The movement has helped me
come to terms with what happened
to me. and l want to make that pos-
sible to other women who hear
me."

Stabbing Victim
still in hospital

 

By Dale Greer
Expcutive Editor

Victor Araneda initially thought
he had been punched in the gut.

Everything was happening so
quickly. and it was too dark to see
the blood on his clothes.

But when Araneda. a UK fresh-
man. finished walking the last block
to his parents' house Saturday
morning. he knew he had been
stabbed.

“I woke (my mother) up. and she
just freaked out." Araneda said last
night from his bed at Central Bap-
tist Hospital. where the student's
wounds — including a punctured
liver — are being treated.

According to police reports. Ara-
neda was riding his bicycle home
from a friend's house about 4:30

 

force."

More guns were seen on the
streets. and both sides reportedly
were arming themselves.

There are fears Ali Mahdi wants
to provoke conflict in hopes the 33-
country UN. peacekeeping force
will be forced to intervene and re-
new its fight against Aidid.

UN. sources said Ali Mahdi has
refused their suggestions for less
provocative routes for the march.
UN. troops no longer patrol Moga-
dishu's streets and are visible main-
ly at fortified checkpoints outside
their ll strongpoints.

Peacekeepers are supposed to fire
only when they are in danger. but
an attack on UN. troops could drag
them into the fray. lf UN. forces
then were overwhelmed. U.S. sol-
diers could be forced to intervene.

“lf there is a requirement fa us
togoontheground.thenwewill
dnsoandwewilldosoin force,"
US. militrry spokesman Col. Steve

» a‘...,‘.‘.. I. lfiiifil III I‘m, u .. - > ,

Saturday morning when three men
approached him on East High
Street.

Araneda \.ll\i they shouted some
thing at him. and when he tried to
five. the assailants chased him
down and knocked him off his bicy-
clc.

in the scuttle that ensued. one of
the men took 510 from Araneda's
pants pocket and stabbed him in the
abdomen

“l think they got scared when the
one guy stabbed me." Araneda said.
“That's when they ran away."

Hospital otticials declined to
comment on Arancda's condition.
but the student said he hopes to be
released sometime today.

lcxrngton police are investigat-
ing the incident. No arrests have
been made in connection with the
stabbing.

m Somalia uneasy after gunfighting

Rausch said.

An Amencan army helicopter
dropped fliers over the city yester~
day warning “if any attempt is
made against l'NOSOM (UN. 0p-
erauons in Somalrai installations or
its army. UM )SOM forces will take
appropriate action."

The demonstration also threatens
to spark internal clashes in Aidid‘s
Somali National Alliance.

Yesterday. pickup trucks with
armed guards toured south Mogadi-
shu wrth megaphone-s. urging peo-
ple to march. They were mamned by
dissidents from Aidid's allilm
who believe he is obstmcting peace.

"If anyone tries to create [lob-
lems for those people coming frmr
the north, we will fight you heearrse
we want watt,“ one message bel-
lowed.

The planncd march is a result of a
[IN-sponsored peace conference

Jones considers legislation
to tighten Ky. gun control

 

Associated Press

 

FRANKFORT, Ky. — Gov.
Brereton Jones‘ entry into the gun-
control debate apparently surprised
some of his staff but hasn‘t changed
the minds of legislative leaders who
say all but the most minimal propo-
sals are doomed.

Three days before last wcck's
shooting rampage at Fort Knox.
Jones told a meeting of newspaper
editors that he would offer gun lcg—
islation during the 1993 General
Assembly because “we need to deal
with the gun issue."

But Jones didn‘t have any specif-
ic proposals in mind, said Franklin
Jclsma. his chief executive officer
for public Zillilll'b‘.

“He believes this is a problem

that‘s really intensified recently and
we can't go on ignoring it,“ Jelsma
said.

Jclsmzi said Joncs discussed the
matter with him before the speech.
but acknowledged that he and
Joncs' stuff “
time on it.“ lones‘ remarks appar-
ently surprised other staff members,
who wcrc sent scrambling to round
up infomtziiion on the issue in time
to make proposals for the legisla-
tivc session that begins Jan. 4.

(.lCIleill (‘ounscl Mark (iuilt‘oylc.
who is managing the issue for
Jones. declined to say when the
governor first suggested he wanted
to deal With it.

“We're working on a proposal."

friends and relatives of UK
nrnning back Moe Williams.
They came to watch the fresh-
man retum to his home state
for the first time since he
spurned the red and black for
the blue and white.

They were not disappointed.

Moe's Show was no stooge
act. Williams gained a UK
season-high 159 yards on 17
canies Saturday. the most
rushing yards by a freshman in
school history.

Many of those yards came
in spectacular fashion. None
more so than in the second
quarter. when Williams took
the handoff up the middle.
blasted through the hole,
shook a tackler and sprinted
past a comerback for a 29-
yard touchdown. A loss of bal—
ance was the only thing that
nearly stopped him.

Maybe even more impres-
sive were his two runs during
UK’s last drive of the game.
After Bulldog defensive ad-
justments had effectively shut
down the option during the
second half, Williams caught a
dangerous pitch from Pookie
Jones and dashed down the
sideline for 30 yards.

Two plays later. Williams
ranupthegutandasthe bod-
ies flew and piled. the play
looked to be dead. But some-
how. impossibly. Williams
emerged from the pile like Su-
pemian out of a phone booth.
After a little push from his of-
fensive lineman helped him
keep his balance. Williams
broke to the outside to gain 11
yards out of nothing.

“There for a while I felt like
I was running on air,“ Wil-
Iiarns said.

Or walking on water. And
it's been like that all year.
Whenever Williams gets the
ball. you know what to expect.

Moe yardage. Moe yardage.
Moe yardage.

For the season. Williams
has 607 yards rushing. He has
a chance to become UK‘s first
1.000-yard rusher since 1987
and only the fourth player to
do so in 20 years.

But even though Williams is
shooting to be the most fa-
mous Moe. (not of the Iloward
variety) he is humble in post-
game interviews. Reporters
have to strain to hear his
words. which usually contain
only praises for other players.

After the Georgia game.
Williams credited his statistics
to the offensive line and
Jones’ pitches. When asked
whether he felt proud to have
performed so well in front of
his family and friends. he said.
“It doesn‘t matter to me. [just
want to win."

While Modest Moe may not
talk about himself. others can
hardly stop.

“Great. That‘s the best I can
do to describe him," Coach
Bill Curry said. “We‘re very
fortunate to have him."

“In college football. you
don't see too many freshman
come in and perform like Moe
has done,“ senior wingback
Alfonzo Browning said.

“He‘s a very talented back."
said Georgia linebacker Mitch
Davis. an All-America candi-
date. “If he can stay healthy.
he‘ll go a long way and have a
very prosperous career."

Even his cheering section
was impressed. After the
game. friends and family jock-
eyed for autographs and pic-
tures with the hometown hero.

So even though the Cats lost
a heanbreaker. fans could take
heart in knowing the future
has arrived.

Guess you could call it Moe
Better Blues.

ATHENS. Ga. — It was a tale of
breakdowns. Physical breakdowns.
Mental breakdowns.

Most of all. there were key inju-
ries in UK's 33-28 loss to Georgia
on Saturday aftemoon at Sanford
Stadium. All of the Wildcat casual-
ties came on the defensive side of
the ball.

Senior Darryl Conn fractured his
right ankle and will miss the rest of
the season. Conn‘s injury was the
most serious.

“I didn‘t want him to see his an-
kle because his foot was turned the
wrong way." UK coach Bill (‘urry
said.

Linebacker Matt Neuss is also
gone for the year with a torn liga-
ment in his left knee. Linebacker
David Snardon is out three weeks
with a knee sprain.

The starting comerbacks. seniors
Don Robinson and Willie Cannon.
also were injured and are day to
day. Robinson sprained an ankle
and Cannon pulled a hamstring.
Sophomore safety Rob Manchester
suffered a concussion and is also
day to day.

Defensive coordinator Mike
Archer was alarmed with the inju-
ries.

“It was a little scary." he said.
“They all came within five plays."

Such quick losses could have
caused UK to buckle.

“We‘ve got great back-ups.“ sen-
ior center Wes Jackson said. “We
expected those guys to come in and
play. This team is deep at every po-
sition."

Still. the injuries limited what the
Cats could do involving formations.

“We lost people who have played
all year," strong safety Marcus Jen-
kins said. “We had to simplify
things a little bit at halftime."

Curry was not concerned with
who was on the field. just how
those players played.

“(Injuries) don‘t matter." he said.
“We just go on. This team played
its heart out."

Senior linebacker Many Moore
sees injuries as pan of the combat.

“You‘re going to have injuries
when you play this game,“ he said.
“It huns your team, but that's just
part of the game.“

Asked what things were changed
at the half. Moore was quick to an-
swer.

“We knew they couldn‘t run
against us.“ he said. “We said
‘Let‘s go stop the damn pass.“'

UK didn‘t exactly stop the pass
in the second half. but the Cats defi—
nitely looked more organized. In
the founh quarter. the Wildcat de-
fense shutout the Bulldogs and
came up with a few big stops to
give UK chances to win the game.

Georgia quarterback Eric Zeier
and tight end Shannon Mitchell
connected seven times for 131
yards and the game-winning touch-

ATHENS. Ga.- Upon arrival in
this college town located 60 miles
east of Atlanta. it is obvious you
have have entered a realm where
football reigns supreme.

Take a look at any billboard.
Chances are that it will be graced
by the caricature of the Georgia
mascot. a bulldog named Uga V.

Look at the car at a standstill next
to you in the Athens traffic quag-
mire. What is painted in red and
black on the door of the vehicle?

You guessed it. Uga V. Anyone
willing to paint a Bulldog on his or
her car is deserving of the label die-
hard fan.

In Bulldog country. where the air
drips of football tradition. these die-
hards are easy to find. As sure as
the sun will set in the west. the
Georgia faithful will flock in mas-
sive numbers to Athens on autumn
Saturdays to pay homage to their
beloved Bulldogs. The mecca for
the faithful is mammoth Sanford
Stadium.

Nestled in the bean of the Geor-
gia campus. Sanford exudes a dis-
tinct charm.

IIow refreshing it is to look out
of a stadium and see treetops wav-
ing in the breeze rather than a grav-
el parking lot.

The green motif at Sanford is fur-
ther personified by the stadium‘s
signature trademark. the well-
manicured hedges that surround the
field.

A scan of the stands leaves no
doubt as to what the home team's
school colors are (such a statement
cannot be made about Conunon-
wealth Stadium).

Just prior to kickoff Saturday. the
sea of red rose in ecstatic unison as
the Bulldogs stormed onto the field.
In close pursuit of the team was a
giant red fire hydrant. which appar-
ently was on hand to appease Uga
V.

Even though they constituted
only a trace percentage of the
crowd of 81.307. the UK fans posi-
tioned in in the corner of one of the
endzones made their presence
known.

On a day that should be inducted
into the meteorological hall of
fame. Wildcat fans were confident
of their team's chances against the
Bulldogs.

"The UK turnout is vocal. and the
fans are expecting to win." said
1993 UK graduate Tim Smith of
Lexington.

Alan Wang. a 1992 graduate now
attending medical school in Atlanta.
said UK‘s recent success on the
gridiron has improved his status in
the bragging rights battle.

“During basketball season. I get
to taunt everyone in the (med
school) class.“ Wang said. “Last
year during football season. though.
lhad to be quiet and more reserved.
But this year. UK Ins been doing

good so I‘ve been able to hold my
own."

Wang added that “it has been a
long time since we've had a team
that has done really well. I think to-
day‘s game will be a real test. If we
pass this test. this team is for real."

As the opening kickoff sailed
through the Georgia sky. gleeful
barking from the home crowd con-
sumed Sanford Stadium. The Wild-
cat offense. however. quickly put a
muzzle on the Dawgpound by
marching down the field for a
touchdown on their first possession.

Any remaining shred of Southern
hospitality left in the stadium van-
ished when the Wildcat fans broke
into their post-touchdown ritual of
counting UK's point total and
chanting C-A-T-S.

For some reason, this practice in-
furiated the Bulldog partisans. They
mocked the UK fans and sarcasti-
cally congratulated them on their
ability to count. Yes. these were the
same Georgia fans who minutes
earlier had been captured on video-
tape barking at the top of their
lungs.

Though the first half was an of-
fensive buffet that ended with Geor-
gia leading 24-21. Sanford Stadium
remained relatively quiet. Market-
ing junior Nathan Teater was not
impressed by the Bulldog fans.

”The crowd isn't as good as I ex-
pected. Their students aren‘t really
into it." he said.

Like many other UK students.
Teater and several of his fratemity
brothers spent a three-day weekend
in Athens. The hometown of super-
group REM. continues to serve as
the college music capital of the
South.

Last week. for instance. altema-
tive music acts Concrete Blonde.
Juliana Hatfield. Matthew Sweet
and Ocean Blue all performed in
Athens. A walk through the center
of town. a hip area dotted with ca-
fes. record shops and nightclubs. re-
