will take to the ice on the Rupp
Arena floor tomorrow night to
entertain fans of the Thorough-
blades, Lexington’s new American
Hockey League franchise, during
the intermissions of their game
against the Carolina Monarchs.

The Danzers will be the official
dance team of the Thorough-
blades, performing at one or two
home games each month.

Dr. Peter Mathebula came to UK from South
Africa looking for ideas and will be going

home with a mentor.

Mathebula was a art of a lZ—person
delegation from Sout Africa that visited
UK this week from the Medical Univer-
sity of Southern Africa (MEDUNSA).
The team was looking for ideas to plan
innovative health sciences education.

Reflecting) upon his visit, Mathebula

had nothing ut praise for UK.

Mathebula came from a university
that has three administrators: the presi-
dent and two vice-presidents. He said
UK administrators have the resources to

“We have to do our own typing, our

Abduction victim
says he can heal

James Ritchie
Senior Stafl‘lVriter

Ze’ev Kolman was a 33-year—old businessman
on reserve duty with the Israelis in the Sinai
Desert when he was abducted by aliens and given
the ower to heal, according to Hans Holzer’s new
boo , The Secret of Healin .

Kolman claims he gas the ability to hel
patients of cancer, multiple sclerosis, mental il -
ness and most other ailments by using bioener .
Accordin to Holzer's book, bioenergy is e
human li e force.

UK alumnus and Cincinnati business owner
Ral h Anderson endorses Kolman’s abilities.

‘I actually believe
(bioenergetic healing) can
be done. He has the heal-
in energy in his hands,”
said Anderson, who
recently donated $2 mil-
lion to the UK College of

power, according to a
press release from the book’s publisher.

Kolman said he could not begin to count the
number of patients he has treated since his 1974
experience with extraterrestrials, which he said
were “jellyfish-looking” in appearance.

He said since he ically receives 30 to 50 let-
ters a day and about i 0 telephone messages, there
is no way he can treat everyone who asks for help.
Sometimes people show up at his door at night or
earl in the morning asking for help, he said.

lgolman said determinin the most severe ill-
ness he has cured is impossib e.

“Every disease is the biggest disease in the
world for the person,” Kolman said.

Holzer’s book describes a case in which Kol-
man went to the children's ward in a hospital to
help a boy who was comatose. He ended up heal-
ing every child in the room.

in order to heal a patient, Kolman first exam-
ines the person‘s aura (which Holzer said is an
electromagnetic or electric field that extends about
a quarter-inch beyond the skin) for weak spots. He
then urs energy into the offendin areas by run-
nin iii; hands over the person’s bocfy.

Slot every treatment is successful. Kolman said
success often depends on the patient’s attitude and
rece tiveness to this alternative form of treatment.
“ t dc nds on your mind,” Kolman said. “Posi-
tive thin 'n is healing. love is healing. Negative
thinking is sease.”

Kolman will sign copies of The Scan of Healing
at Joseph-Beth ooksellers on Sunday, Oct. 6.,

 

 

from 1 pm. to 3 pm.

llll ready to face
MAG champions

By Jill Erwin
Staff Writer

UK defender Greg Lobring
knows what to expect going into
Bowling Green, Ohio, this week-
end.

“It’s going to be the hardest
game of the year," he said. “There
is an absolute hatred between
these two teams.”

UK (5-2—2) and Bowling Green
have a storied rivalry that has been
built in a short time. The team
played twice last year with both
games going into double overtime.
UK came out of it with a 0-1—1
record, including a 1-0 loss in the
MAC Tournament semifinals.

The Wildcats have faced hos-
tile crowds before (Western Ken-
tucky), and they have been in
emotional battles (Ohio State), but
those games are nothing com-
pared to what they will face
against the Falcons. At least not
according to UK coach Ian
Collins.

“For those who think this
(Ohio State) was an emotional
game, magnify that by about 20,
and that’s how much emotion and
intensity will be there Sunday,”
Collins said.

The Cats have won on] two of
their last five games, but are
increasingly optimistic about the
chances of a victory this weekend.

“Sunday was the beginning of a
new season for us," senior Toby
McComas said. “We’ve just got to
kee building on what we’ve done
wel recently."

What they have been working

on is communicating with eac

other. On—field communication, in
the form of directions or encour—
agement, is something that has not
come easy to UK this year. The
Wildcats have 12 newcomers on
the team this season, and it takes
time for the players to gel.
Lobring sees this beginning to
take shape.

“Toby, (David) Muse, (Sean)
Endicott, and I, in practice, in the
locker room, and socially -— when
we’re out together — try to keep
the guys together and keep their
spirits up,” he said.

“On the field, we try to give
encouragement; when we see mis-
takes, we pick them up,” Lobring
added.

Sunday’s game is the first game
of the MAC season for both
teams. Because the MAC champi-
on now receives an automatic bid
to the NCAA Tournament, the
MAC Tournament could cast a
shadow over re lar season
matchups. But don t think UK is
biding its time, waiting for the
postseason.

“Obviously, that’s not what
we’re tryin to do,” McComas
said.“Feasib y, we could lose every
conference game, go into the
tournament, win three games, and
we’re in. But we’re going to be a
real tough team to beat in Novem-
ber.”

The game should be full of
shots, as BG averages 8.9 shots on
goal and UK is averaging 10.2
attempts. Game scores, however,
aren’t reflective of UK’s quick
trigger feet. The Cats have scored
more than two goals only once
this year.

Bats I0 make Indiana SWIM this WBBKBIIII

By Rob Herbal

Astrrtant Spent Editor

This weekend, the UK
women’s soccer team will attempt
to continue its three—game win-
ning streak as the Cats take on
Evansville and Indiana.

UK (6—1—2) will meet
Evansville this evening. The Pur-
ple Aces (5—2-1) have an impres-
sive win streak of their own — the
last time Evansville lost was
against Tulsa on Sept. 13.

The Cats are familiar with
Evansville. Last year, UK defeated
Evansville 3—0 in Lexington.

In their last meetin , the Cats

layed extremely wel . But UK
iiead coach Warren Lipka thinks t

tonight’s match will be different.

“It’s always a tough place to
play up there (in Evansville),”
Lipka said. “Last year it was senior
day and we played them well. But
any time you eave to go on the
road, it’s gonna be tough."

Lipka is also concerned that the
No. l4-ranked Cats have to be
ready for a “respect factor.”

Evansville is a team looking for
respect and there is no better way
for the Purple Aces to gain respect
than to beat UK.

“It’s dangerous whenever you
play a team that’s not ranked

ecause it’s always their biggest
match of the year.”

The Cats know just how dan-
gerous the Purple Aces can be.

The last time the teams met in
Evansville in 1994, UK left with a
2-0 loss.

UK must also expect a hysical

ame. That's what senior ribfender

orie Hesser remembers about
the Cats’ matches against the Pur-
ple Aces.

“Whenever we lay them, it’s
always very physica ,” Hesser said.
“It’s always a physical ame and
we just have to be reacfy to play
physical."

On Sunday, the Cats will take
on an Indiana team that has han—
dled UK as oflate. IU has won the
last two games against UK,
including a 2—1 win in Lexington
last year.

But last year’s game was the

season opener for UK. At the
time, the Cats were not yet a
cohesive unit, but they became
one by the end of the season.

“We just didn’t play as a team
against Indiana and we just didn’t
have a rhythm,” Hesser said.

“That was a bad game for us
and I think we’re ready to beat
them.”

After winning their first three

ames, the Hoosiers (5~3) have
Post two of their last three, includ-
ing a l-0 loss at Michigan. Two
weeks ago UK went to Michigan
and tied 2-2.

IU also has a number of
injuries, that have hurt its team.

Lipka and the Cats will try to
take advantage of that.

Wildcats to lace tough
Crimson Tide delense

Curry not the ?
big story

 

By Chris Easterllnn
Spam Editor

The toughest stretch on the UK football schedule
continues tomorrow when the Cats visit Bryant-
Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa to take on No. 13
Alabama (4-0 overall, 2-0 in the Southeastern Confer-
ence).

The trip to Tuscaloosa is the second consecutive
SEC road game for the Cats (1-3, 0-1), and the second
straight game a ainst a nationally-ranked top—15
team. Last week, {1K had its head handed to it by the
No. 1 team in the country, Florida.
The Gators blasted the Wildcats 65-0.

“They are what I would call a stan-
dard, typical Alabama team,” UK
coach Bil Curry said. “They are unde-
feated and one of the top-ranked
teams in the nation.”

Curry will be making his first visit
to Tuscaloosa since resigning as
Crimson Tide head coach in 1989.

After facing the Gators’ high-pow—
ered offense, the Wildcats could find Alabama’s run-
dominated offense a welcome relief, considering that
the Wildcat defense is giving up only about 3.73 yards
a carry.

The Tide is averaging 133.5 yards rushing per
game and 185.25 yards through the air, both of which
rank in the bottom half of the SEC rankings. But
Alabama is getting better on offense, Curry said.

“As the season has progressed, Coach (Woody)
McCorvey, the offensive coordinator, has expanded
what they do, added a few more formations, a few
more throws,” Curry said. “They have the potential to
be a eat offense.”

T e Tide is led by junior quarterback Freddie
Kitchens. Kitchens, who will make only his seventh
career start Saturday, has completed 55 of 94 passes
for 728 yards and four touchdowns.

“Freddie’s done a pretty good job,” Alabama coach
Gene Stallings said. “I can see him getting better as
the season goes along.

“He’s got some experience, and experience is

always important. The more expe-
rience he gets, the better he is ‘
going to play.”

But it’s not Alabama’s offense
that UK has to worry about. It’s the
defense. ‘

The T ide’s defense has been
nothing short of dominating thus
far in 1996, holdin three of four
opponents to 10 or ewer points.

Onl Vanderbilt has scored
more than 10 points against ’Bama,
putting 26 on the scoreboard in a
36-26 setback on Sept. 14. ,

“Alabama, as usual, has a great '
defense,” Curry said. “They started
out the season laying to their
defense, which think is very
smart.”

All told, the Crimson Tide
defense has held its opponents to
an avera e of 186.75 yards per
game. tough the air, ’Bama
opponents have gained only 107.5
yards a game.

One of the main reasons for this
is strong safety Kevin Jackson. The
6-foot-2, 206-pound senior is lead-
ing the SEC with four intercep-
tions, two of them against Vander-
bilt.

He returned one of the two for a
44-yard touchdown.

In addition to Jackson, the Tide
has some pretty decent linebackers
who have helped to smother any
attempt b the opposition to run
the football.

Butkus Award candidate
Dwayne Rudd returns for his junior year, leading the
team with 32 stops and three sacks. He is joined at the
position by two seniors, Ralph Staten and Tyrell
Buckner.

Buckner will be making only his third career start
