The future looks bright at UK

By Sara Zaehringer
CONYRIBUTING WRllER—u

 

This year‘s freshmen are better than
ever. say UK officials. Along with higher
GPA and ACT scores than last year's
freshmen. there are 0.3 National Merit
Scholars. 119 Kentucky Governor‘s Schol
ars. and 106 high school valedictorians in
this year's class.

When asked what draws such academ
ically sound freshmen to UK. Patrick Her
ring. UK'S director of admissions, credits
the university's excellent academic repii
tation.

“When you look at the quality of edu-
cation and the cost. it's great." said Her-
ring.

Herring said that a student pursuing
an undergraduate degree at [K earns a
credential that can become a solid founda-

The number of students applying to
l'K has increased over the past few years.
Herring said. This year l'K‘s office of ad-

missions received 8.100 applications. of

which only 75 percent were accepted. he
said.

Herring said what attracts students to
[K is the university's strength of pro
gram. strength offaculty. and the student‘s
own ability to participate in programs
throughout the university

Sandy (‘opher. UK director of merit
scholarships. believes that such higlrcal
iber high school seniors are beginning to

consider lTK because ofthe reputation that
it has been earning.

"We believe it is something that has
kind of a snowball effect." (‘opher said.
“We did a really good job of recruiting a
few years ago atid these are the top slu
dents who‘ve contacted their community
atid said. "Hey. I‘m having a really g’lttli i'\.
perience at UK."

When asked ifshe noticed any dill'ei
eiices among the freshman. Kiryon Moss.
a connnunications senior said. "They [the
freshmen] do seem very intelligent. how
ever. intelligence isn‘t the only thing you

need to make it through college."
Moss‘s remarks ring true when one

looks at the stagnant freshman refen

tion rate at lTK. Herring said that de

spite improvement in the quality of

students over the past ten years. reteir
that remains an issue

”A perplextng problem on campus
es like ours is that tendency to attract
a very high end freshman class and
they lnew freslnnenl come into a situa-
tion where the expectations are much
higher than they realized." Herring
said.

They [the freshmen] do seem very intelligent; how-
ever, intelligence isn’t the only thing you need to
make it through college.”

Young. aspiring football
players get their first taste of
organized football by playing in
a “Pop Warner" league or some
other youth division. They
learn the fundamentals of the
game with their peers of age
and size.

Derrick Johnson took a dif1
ferent route.

While other kids his age
were blocking and tackling
players their same size. John-
son was taking on opponents
twice his age. He began playing
varsity football for his hotne-
town llarrodsburg (Ky.) High
School at a young age. Make
that a very young age.

285-pound backup center.

The Wildcat sophomore has
come a long way since his days
as an underage varsity football
player at Ilarrodsburg l'nder
the tutelage of his father. Alvis.
now an assistant athletics di-
rector at UK. Johnson rlevel»
oped into a dominant high
school football player. And he
is quick to give thanks

“Dad was a little hard on
me at times. but it paid off in

offers from such South

tion to iii-state schools
such as Eastern Kentucky. l’ni
yersity and UK. In the end. the
choice was an easy
Johnson.

“I was a Kentucky fan all
along. so it wasn't a difficult
choice.“ Johnson said.

Things haven‘t been going

Johnson's ankle has
kept him out of action
so far this season. but
he doesn‘t plan to re

much longer .\fter all.
Johnson wants to make it to the
NH. when his days in Lexing-

"It's going to take a little
more time to rehab my ankle
and get it to where I want to be
on this team." Johnson said.
“But I've worked hard. and
with some more hard work. I'll
lie ready to play professionally
when my time comes."
