Three UK employees have

vestigation into missing inven-

anonymous tip on Sept. 22.

Carter and Crossley could
not be reached for comment.

“We’re investigating the
whole department — not nec—

whole." Monroe said. “I can‘t
specify the number of people
right now. because we can't

Monroe added that all the

Gingrich
calls for
health care
overhaul

By Juliann Vachon
news@kykernel.com

America is at the edge of enor-
mous opportunity in health care ad-
vancements. Newt Gingrich said last
night at the 20th annual UK Sanders-
Brown Center on Aging Foundation
dinner. .

Gingrich. former Speaker of the
US. House of Representatives, spoke
on the future of health care in Ameri-
ca.

Gingrich said
he was struck with
both how close the
nation is and h0w
far it has to go in
the area of health
care. specifically
relating to the chal-
lenge of aging.

Gingrich posed
the question. “How
do you move to—
ward a lifetime of

Gingrich

health?"

A new social contract calling for a
dramatic shift toward prevention and
wellness along with investment in
early testing is necessary to create
Change. Gingrich said.

Gingrich's system calls for the
balance of govemment—provided
health care and citizens who take re-
sponsibility for their health.

"To be an American is to have a
responsibility." he said.

He focused on a model of change
addressing three areas: attitude. activi-
ty and nutrition.

“If you truly want to solve our
core social problems and meet the
greatest public policy challenges we
have. then the most important slogan
of the next quarter of a century is real
simple: real change requires real
change," Gingrich said.

A focus on positive attitudes. in-
creased daily activity and improved
general nutrition will lead to a better
system than the one currently in
place. Gingrich said.

The system Gingrich outlined
called for the application of science
and technology to the medical prob—
lems of today.

According to Gingrich. there will
be four to seven times as much new
science in the next 25 years as in the
past 25. New knowledge combined
with increased technology at cheaper
costs and wireless capabilities will al-
low for medical advancements.

Gingrich said he does not want to
look at making modest improvements
to the current system. but instead
wants to focus on the bold potential of
the future.

The future system could use in-
creased medical knowledge to advise
people on lifestyle choices given their
age, circumstance and DNA.

This different type of preventative
system will be better for people and
will also be cheaper. Gingrich said

Gingrich gave examples of apply-
ing new technology and imagination.
such as a pacemaker with an expert
system capable of alerting people that
they are about to have a heart attack.
He also outlined a system where
schools weigh students three times a
year to monitor obesity and intervene
when necessary.

The new system will strive to
keep citizens as healthy as possible,
but people must be committed to
working with the government in tak-
ing responsibility for their health.
Gingrich said.

Soccer rank highest In UK history

By Chris Miles
Icmi es ykernel.com

The UK men‘s soccer team
jumped back into the national
rankings yesterday. coming in at
No. 13 in this week’s National
Soccer Coaches Association of
America poll.

The ranking is UK’s highest
in school history.

Earlier this season. the Cats
were ranked No. 14 but dropped
out of the polls following a 1-0
overtime loss to Michigan on
Sept. 13.

“Everyone says it doesn‘t
mean anything. and it doesn’t.“
said assistant coach Matt Wilk-
erson. “But it‘s a great bit of a
motivator for us.”

UK is also ranked fifth in
the nation defensively and sev-
enth in the nation offensively.

“It‘s positive feedback for
us " Wilkerson said. “But the
team is just scratching the sur—
face.”

UK has given up just .44
goals a game and has posted
seven shutouts this season.
Starting freshman goalie Dan
Williams is ranked eighth in the
nation in goals allowed and is
ranked 13th in the nation in
saves with a .861 save percent-
age.

Similarly. the Cats’ offense.
led by senior forward and Con-
ference USA offensive player of

the week Riley O Neill, Is aver-
aging 2.64 goals a game.

Both O’Neill and Williams
were key figures in the Cats‘ l-0
golden-goal, overtime win
against then No. 6 South Caroli-
na on Sunday. O‘Neill scored
the game-winning goal in the
l05th minute.

“The mood of the team is
good with their performance on
Sunday." Wilkerson said. adding
that the team played a near per-
fect game.

“It was the first time (all
season) the light seemed to
click." he said.

Wilkerson said the perfor-
mance on Sunday was only a
glimpse of what the team can
do. and that it is still a work in
progress.

After the loss to Michigan.
head coach lan Collins said one
factor for UK‘s poor perfor-
mance against the Wolverines
was that his players were getting
too caught up in their own suc-
cess.

Wilkerson said the loss
helped bring the team back
down to earth.

UK‘s biggest test of the year
is Saturday when the Cats travel
to Dallas to take on the nation‘s
top ranked team. Southern
Methodist University.

“Hopefully (the ranking)
gives our guys some confidence
and lets them know they can do

Despite problems, Cats lead in fumble recoveries

By Jonathan Smith
jsmith@kykernel.com

Much noise has been made
so far this season about the
struggles of UK's defense.

The Cats are allowing
Southeastern Conference highs
in points per game (28.4). pass-
ing yards per game (260.6) and
rushing yards per game (201).

Not all has been bad. how-
ever. for the UK defense.

Last Saturday against Cen-
tral Michigan. the Cats recov-
ered three fumbles. upping their
season total to 10. giving them
the national lead.

Not bad for a defense that
ranks at or near the bottom in al-
most every other statistical cate—
gory in the SEC.

“That's the positive." defen-
sive coordinator Mike Archer
said. “That‘s something that
we've talked about since the
spring that we didn‘t do a good
job of last year."

Last year. the Cats recovered
only two fumbles in the first five
games. and ii for the season. in
the past three games. the Cats
have recovered eight fumbles.

“The team is always flying
around the football. making big
hits." defensive lineman Myron
Pryor said. "When you are in
pursuit of the football on the
field. there will be tumovers."

In the summer. the defense
focused on creating more
turnovers to give the offense at
better chance to score. Pryor
said the team ran a few drills in
pursuit of the ball. but that most
of the fumbles have been a re—
sult of instincts.

During the season. an area
of emphasis has been making
sure that after the initial hit is
made on the ball carrier. the sec—
ond person in on the play tries to
jar the ball free.

“When somebody is running
the ball. we‘ve got to try to get
our hands on the ball." Wood—
y'ard said. “We‘ve got to do that

in order to have a good de—
fense."

Tumovers have also kept the
defense on the field for shorter
periods of time. Pryor said being
on the field for fewer plays has
helped the team a lot.

"Last year we would always
be on the field for 20 plays
straight because the offense kept
getting third downs." Piyor said.
“With these turnovers. it‘s given
our defense more of a rest."

Archer said the team‘s focus
on producing tumovers has been
great. and the unit needs to keep
making its opponents drop the
ball.

"They saw the ball on the
ground eight times last week.
and because you're talking
about it and you‘re trying to em—
phasi/c it. now you‘re having

success. it kind of feeds off of

it." Archer said. “They take
pride in the fact that they are
where they are in tumovers. be—
cause we've never been there in
the past three years. and hope-

fully we'll continue to do that,"

Peters, Paris out

Defensive linemen Corey
Peters and Jamil Paris have par-
tial tears in their medial collater-
al ligaments and will be side-
lined for three to four weeks.
head coach Rich Brooks said af»
ter practice yesterday. Brooks
said neither player needs
surgery. Tight end Tyler Sexton
also injured his MCL and will
have surgery to repair the prob-
lem. He is out indefinitely.

Running back Rafael Little
will practice tomorrow. Little is
"questionable but probable." for
this w eekend’s game against
South Carolina. Brooks said.

Center Matt McCutchan
worked out yesterday. and
Brooks said he will be reevalu—
ated tomorrow.

Braxton Kelley and Joe
Schulcr will start this week at
two of the linebacker spots. re-
placing Micah .lohnson and
.lohnny Williams.

men who are concerned about
the safety of women at UK.

Q. What is MAVAR@ UK?

is . MAVARCa UK is basically
an organization for men to
change the perception of what
violence against women really
is. it is specifically tailored to-
ward men. but we're open to
women as well. Basically. it‘s
just a forum for men to take ac—
tion.

Ql. How does UK‘s reported
vio ent acts against women
compare to other schools?

is .. UK is right on par for the
nation. We are almost right
down the middle. Basically. it is
important at UK. because we
would like to be in the lower
statistics. UK's benchmark
schools like EKL'. are taking ac-
tions like MAVARQ ['K al»
ready. lt is fine that we are iii
the middle. but we want L'K to
set the standard for other
schools to lower these statistics.

0 Why do you feel violence
against women is such a prob-
lem‘.’

' It is perception. Most
crimes involving violence
against women aren't thought of
as such. because they are in a
college situation where alcohol
is typically involved. It is up to
the guys to be responsible. take
control of the situation and to
know the differences

o Is violence against
women more significant in a
certain group of women or
does it stretch across all types?

It pretty much spaits across
all wotnert. Pretty rnttch every
one is at risk. Women shouldn‘t
have to worry about making de-
cisions to protect themselves.
But reality is unfortunate. and
they do.

.llow has the response of
the student body towards

I think that. at the moiitent.
we are still lalling oil of the
radar. and a lot of guy s on canr
pus agree and want to take an
acti\e part to stop \tolence
against women.

your goals for HAVARGI l‘K‘.’

7 Spotlight olthe MAVAR@UK president

role in the community and even-
tually be able to provide services
as well as awareness.

9‘. As president of
{V i \'AR@UK. what is your
response to the accusations of
assault against two females by
two Sigma Pi members?

()bviously nothing has
been proven. but if it turns out
to be true. it shows the need of
better education and awareness.
There a bunch of guys in that
situation that could step up and
stop something like this. That is
the idea of MAVARCH, UK —— so
someone won‘t be so nervous or
shy to take action.

..What specifically is
N I VAR@UK sponsoring at
UK to raise awareness?

We are helping with Take
Back the Night and the White
Ribbon campaign. We also have
people working on an event
called These Hands Don‘t Hurt.
For this. we will set up booths
outside of the Classroom Build-
ing where men will put their
hands irt finger paint and ptit
their hand prints on a banner. By
doing this they are saying that
they are against \rolence against
women. It is an awareness thing.
and it is a nice idea bttt it can
only go so far.

0 Are you going to speak at
the Sigma Pi house or other
Greek organizations?

Yes. we are going to make
an effort to speak to all Greek
organiuttions. We are going to
try to get members frorn frater—
nities. We are having a meeting
tomorrow to talk about the
launch of our talks.

Q. Do you have any Greek
members. and what is their re-
action?

We do ha\e (ireek mem—
bers. but l do not know their
specific names. We ha\en‘t

made that a center point thus
far. National statistics of sexual
assault on campuses are higher
in fratemity houses and settings.
It is a good idea to explore that.
Why is that? We hope that if we
are successful. when a situation
arises where intervention is
needed. so many guys in one
setting and most of them are
good. upstanding citizens. that
some would stand up.

Q. What do you think
brings violence against women
on campus at a higher level, or
is it even at a higher level?

. There are certainly more
situations that it can be danger-
ous on a college campus. Obvi-
ously alcohol is involved. and
this is the type of violence that
people tend to not consider.
There is a difference between a
hook—up and a guy and girl so
gone they do not know what
they are doing.

0 Have there been any
changes in the community
since MAVAR@UK first start-
ed?

l have seen a lot ntore in-
terest from men. attd that was
the goal. 1 have also seen a lot
more men involved. w here be—
fore they might ha\e felt awk-
ward.

. Are you going to speak at
the Sigma Pi house or other
Greek organizations?

Yes. we are going to make
an effort to speak to all Greek
organizations. We are going to
try to get members froin frater-
nities. We are having a meeting
tomorrow to talk about the
launch of our talks.

Q. What do you hope is the
future for MAVAR@UK?

I hope we get more mem—
bers. We would also like to
have an impact on safety at UK.
We want to change what is oc—
curring right now.
