Ballroom Dance Society provides place for

CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The UK Ballroom Dance
Society is trying to shake the
stigma that ballroom dancing
is a thing of the past.

With the resurgence of
the swing music craze, the
club has seen an increase in
the number of people in the
beginner class.

Club member Michelle
Dudley. a chemistry junior.
said the beginner class has
nearly twice as many people
than last semester.

When asked about the
idea that ballroom dancing is
something associated with
older people. Dudley said.
“Most people associate ball—
room dancing with their
grandparents. but if they actu-

ally tried it they would find
that it was a lot of fun.“

Dudley joined the society
last fall after attending one of
the society’s dances. She said
she went to learn how to
swing dance, and it was so
much fun that she decided to
attend the weekly instruction-
al classes.

“The turnout for the
dances are very good. and the
dance floor is always full."
Dudley said.

Dr. James Holmes is the
faculty advisor to the society.
and he and his wife are also
the dance instructors.

The society is open to any

According to club presi-
dent Janine Zabroski. a nurs-
ing senior. the society has
different levels of experience
ranging from beginner to ex-
pert. So even people with two
left feet can learn how to
“cut the rug" in no time. she
said.

“Everything is taught step
by step so everyone learns at
the same rate." she said.

Aside from learning how
to swing. Zabroski said they
also learn how to do other
dances such as the Fox-trot.
the Waltz, the Tango and the
Rhumba.

Zabroski became a mom
ber of the society in the fall of
1997 when she saw an add in
the paper.

“Learning how to dance

can bc a great asset when it
comes to social functions such
as parties or weddings." shi-
said.

Zabroski disagreed with
the notion that ballroom
dancing is only for older pio
pic.

"You really don‘t know
how much fun you can havc
doing it until you try it, I'm
really glad that I decided to

UK professors develop study

A national study conducted by UK poi
Iitical scicncc professors discovered that
political parties more than doubled their
soft moncy spending.

The study compared the spending of
campaigns in the 1994 mid-term elections
with the 1998‘s Jim Bunning-Scotty Baesler
US. Senate race and the Ernie Fletcher-
Ernesto Scorsone congressional race.

The professors that conducted the
study on the political races were Donald

Gross said. "We

told our students to

they had received. We had stacks of Illlili
that various people would bring to us rocu

Those two races were markcd to ho
competitivc very early in the your which
made them prime targets for soft monox-
contributions.

“(‘ompctition drives the destination of
soft money. If the race is going to be com
potitivc more organizations arc willing to
put more money in their candidate‘s cam
paign." Gross Sflld.

The study shows soft money spending
is being directed at smaller. strategically
important campaigns. as opposed to pl't‘Ni
dcntiai campaigns.

“The growing use of soft moncv gives
more and more opportunities to big moncy
donors to increase their iiit‘Iucncc ill [lilil'

said.

The smaller state raccs arc chcapcr to

“Organizations donating money want

The study found national groups maili-
larger investments in smaller races likc
Kentucky Senate and congressional races
lntcrcst groups were found to have spent
more money on political campaign ads
than the candidate‘s own campaigns 84 1
million compared to St million spi-m by
candidates.

“That‘s not a phenomcnal amount of
money if you talk about a statc like Now
York or California. but it is phcnomi-ual
for the state of Kentucky where we only
have 3.9 million residents." Miller Sillti.

Political parties and spccial intcrcst
groups gain a lot of control over a (‘i’lllfil'
datcs campaign as they donatc more money.

"As soft money increases. the candi-
date can begin to lose control of his cam
paign. Regulation of fcdcral financing of
campaigns is completely breaking down."
Gross said.

Political parties dcsirc more soft mon
cy bccausc it is harder to trace and is not
as regulated as hard money.

Major political parties are moving
their focus to soft moncy. (iross said.
"They also have greater flcxibility with
how they spt‘nd that money "

The study was directed at the national

CARACAS, Venezuela — Seven years after
trying to overthrow the government in a bloody
coup attempt, former Lt. Col. Hugo Chavez was
sworn in as president yesterday, and even man-

The crowd in Caracas‘s congressional hall

ed by every president during 40 years of
democracy.

“I swear in front of my people that over this
dying constitution I will push forward the de-

that the new republic will have an adequate

The Padres also gave up pinch-hit specialist
Mark Sweeney and received infielder Damian
Jackson, who has spent the last three seasons at
Triple-A, and right-hander Josh Harris, who
pitched at Class A last season.

President Clinton wants to give $200 million to boost education standards, hire more teachers and improve their skills In the classroom.

PRESIDENL

Helping education

Clinton proposes big money to help Iow-
performing schools at Boston DNC meeting

ASSOCIATED PRESS

BOSTON -~ President Clin—
ton yesterday backed his call to
fix or close failing schools with
a $200 million proposal to sup-
port intervention in troubled
classrooms. He Challenged skep-
tical Republicans to a debate
over increasing accountability
in the education system.

“We should invest more in
education. but we should spend
it more wisely." the president
said at a Democratic National
Committee luncheon yesterday
in Boston. “We should spend it
on what we know works and
stop financing what we know
doesn‘t."

The $200 million proposal is
part of the education package
included in the president’s fis-

cal 2000 budget designed to
boost education standards. hire
more teachers and improve
their skills and increase
schools’ accountability.

Yesterday he focused on ac-
countability . - 0n the part of
students. teachers and adminis-
trators.

“This year we will have a
great debate in Congress about
the next steps to improve educa-
tion in America.“ Clinton said
in remarks prepared for deliv-
ery later at a public elementary
school. “There are some in Con-
gress who believe the national
government has no business in-
vesting in more public educa-
tion. I believe they’re wrong.“

The $200 million for inter-
vening in troubled schools

would require states and school
districts to identify the schools
with the lowest achievement
levels and take immediate steps
to improve performance. Inten-
sive teacher training and in-
creased disciplinary measures
are two examples of such steps.

Republicans. concerned
that Clinton‘s education propos-
als would encroach upon state
and local school autonomy,
questioned whether his new
budget does enough to directly
support teaching and whether
it allows local school officials
enough flexibility.

Rep. Bill Goodling. R»Pa..
chairman of the House Educa-
tion and Workforce Committee.
said yesterday that Clinton was
embracing GOP goals in calling
for greater accountability. bans
on social promotion and
teacher performance exams.

But while he said Clinton
“is on the right track with his

new education ideas" Goodling
questioned whether Clinton
could implement them “without
deeply extending the federal
reach into our local schools."

“His challenge is to imple-
ment these new initiatives
without micromanaging our
neighborhood schools from
Washington." (ioodling said.
“Regrettably under the presi~
dent‘s proposals. Washington
bureaucrats will call the shots
on most of the major issues con-
fronting states and local school
districts."

Clinton took such criticism
head~on yesterday.

“Some people argue that
even though we spend $1.”) bil-
lion a year on public education.
the national government has no
business holding the system ac-
countable for results." he said.
“Can you imagine any company
spending money without look
ing at results?"

 

AWARDS

Salute your professors

Alumni Association prepares to hand out its
Great Teacher Awards and your help is needed

By Hanish Bhatia
STAFF—WRITER f“

 

Remember the physics pro-
fessor who would light up a
dull afternoon class with his
bag of scientific tricks? How
about the math teacher who
didn‘t mind spending long
hours after class to explain the
principles of differential inte-
gration?

If you ever had a professor
who went the extra mile for his
or her students. now would be a
good time to show your appreci-
ation.

The UK Alumni Associa-

tion is currently accepting
nominations for the 1999 Great
Teacher Awards. The award is
supervised by senior honor so-
cieties Omicron Delta Kappa
and Mortar Board.

The annual award honors
faculty members for their ex-
ceptional teaching skills both
in and out of the classroom.

“The award is one of our
most important programs."
said Stan Key. UK alumni di~
rector. “This is an opportunity
for the UK Alumni Association
to recognize the outstanding
faculty at UK."

The award was first given

in 1961 and carries a $1.000
cash award that is presented
to each winner at a luncheon
in April.

“The awards are given to
teachers that are nominated by
students for their teaching abil-
ities and rapport with the stu
dents.“ said Jennifer O‘Nan, a
nursing senior and president of
the Mortar Board.

Students need to fill a out
nomination form consisting of
five questions which they need
to answer and turn in before
the deadline. she said.

According to a press re-
lease by the Alumni Associa-
tion. the nominated professors
must have a rank of assistant
professor or higher and be a
faculty member for at least
three years. Students must also

obtain a copy of the professors
resume and attach it to the
form.

The award is not exclusive
to UK professors. It allows nomv
inations from the Lexington
Community College as well as
the other community colleges.
O'Nan said.

Students who wish to nomi-
nate a teacher can obtain a
nomination form at the Cll‘CIllélv
tion desk of the William T.
Young Library or in 209 Sin
dent Center.

The forms then need to be
mailed or delivered to Mandy
Long at King Alumni House.

day. Feb. 8.

(to-habitation before marriage leads to divorce

Study contradicts popular belief couples will
be happier by living together before marriage

ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

NEW YORK A growing
body of research has found that
contrary to popular belief. peo-
ple who live together before
marriage are more likely than
other couples to divorce.

According to a report re-
leased this week from the Na-
tional Marriage Project at Rut-
gers University. studies done.
over the past decade found the

same connection between liv-
ing together before marriage
and splitting up after.

The hot question for mare
riage and family sociologists
these days is why.

Many researchers believe
the reason is partly that people
who live together are more un-
conventional to begin with and
are less committed to the institu-
tion of marriage and more open

>>>>>

to the possibility of divorce.

The authors of the latest re-
port suspect something more
insidious ~ that living together
slowly erodes people's ability to
commit and their faith in the
institution of marriage.

“You get into a pattern that
works against having a long-
term. committed relationship."

rector of the National Marriage
Project. The project is nonpar-
tisan but is funded by mainly
conservative. traditional fami-
ly foundations.

Get hook

Thousands of World Wide Web sites litter
Internet on basketball team, statistics

By_~ Jen Smith

SENIOR SlAfF WRIYER

wwwukfansareinsanecom

That‘s not exactly the
name of a web site. but it
should be. A qutck peruse
of the World Wide Web lists
thousands of sites for infor<
mation on Kentucky basket-
ball.

Yahoo! lists nine cate—
gories and 95 sites for UK
basketball. Geocities lists
128.451 sites when searched.

Every personal (‘ats
page you go to. there are at
least 40 links to other pages
with information detailing
l'K.

While many of these
pages have overlapping infor-
mation like rosters. sched-
ules. statistics and Southeast»
ern Conference opponents.
some get a little more in-

depth.
For instance. www.Ken~
tuckyBasketballcom in-

cludes a site for fan mail.
People can write in and add
their opinions. There were 311
postings on it yesterday.
Some get a little more violent
after L'K losses. Others are
complimentary.

These letters come from
all over the country.

One site had letters as far
away as Paris (France). not
Kentucky.

Lots of the letters are ad-
dressed specifically to players
or UK Coach Tubby Smith.

A Cat fan in (get this)
North Carolina offered en
couragement for Smith in the
coming years in case he was
worried about next year‘s
team.

“Just because there are

so many good players compet~
ing for minutes and points.
they won't get to showcase
their skills like they would at
other schools where they
would get 30 minutes a game.
l'm getting all excited again.
Maybe we could have (six fi-
nals in a row). never mind. I
don't want to jinx it." he
wrote.

One fan on the same site
taunts other fans with the
likes of Duke being the team
of the decade.

UK basketball spokesman
Brooks Downing said the Uni-
versity just looks
