School escaping
UK ’s shadow

By Stephen Trimblo
Senior Stafl Writer

Upon each sunrise, Commonwealth Sta-
dium casts a slanted shadow across the Lex-
ington Community College campus.

The natural event also is anecdotal as the
college celebrates its 30th anniversary this
week.

Officials on campus often complain of
being overshadowed by its enormous neigh-
bor, including UK’s Lexington Cam us,
and the facilities that surround LCC’s t ree
main campus buildings.

But, on the other hand, why shouldn’t
UK overshadow its community college?
After all, LCC and its 13 sister institutions
spread across the state are part of UK’s
Community College System, and are largely
dependent upon UK for its budget and
ViSion.

But by LCC’s location, risen from UK’s
largest parking lot, it is overlooked more by
the people in its community than at similar
institutions, suggests LCC President Janice
Friedel.

There are more reasons to consider:

VUK has more than 23,000 students.
LCC posted a record enrollment this fall
with little more than 5,200 students.

VUK has 13 colleges offering hundreds
of degrees ~—- from baccalaureate to doctor-
ate degrees. LCC offers 14 academic pro-
grams that offer mostly technical degrees.

VIn summary, UK is the state’s flagship

institution; LCC is just the second—largest
community college, trailingJefferson Com-
munity College in Louisville. UK should
cast a shadow over the gray concrete walls
and tinted windows of LCC’s buildings.

On the other hand, at the peak of each
sunset the shadow of LCC falls on Com-
monwealth Stadium. Following that anec—
dote, LCC is hoping to forge its own identi—
ty in its community and region while it
remains anchored to its roots at UK.

“LCC is coming into its own," Friedel
said. When local alumni make contributions
to UK, she said many times they neglect the
needs of LCC, which directly serves a 50-
mile radius around Lexington.

This doesn’t happen in most areas with
community colleges. Take Paducah, for
example. There, local businesses and alumni
raised $8 million to build a facility to house
an engineering program for Paducah Com-
munity College.

The Council on Higher Education
recently has decided not to support the
independent engineering program.

But most contributors around Lexington
send their checks to UK, Friedel said, not
their community college.

LCC is one of only four community col—
leges that have not publicly announced the
results of their Partners in Progress cam—

aign, which is a statewide effort to increase
lbcal support for community colleges.

A 1994 feasibility survey found that local
awareness of LCC and its mission is lower
than in other communities, said Tim Bur—
cham, fund—raising coordinator for the com—
munity college system.

LCC was given some extra time to raise

Promos planned to
attract fans to UK—
U GA volleyball game

By Stephen Trimble

Senior Smfl~ W mm

The UK volleyball team’s
record stands at an even 8—8, a
pretty impressive feat considering
the team’s 2—7 non-conference
start this season.

Five of six Southeastern Con-
ference teams have fallen victim
to UK in the past seven games.

The Cats host the Georgia
Bulldogs tomorrow at Memorial
Coliseum in what could be a clas-
sic confrontation between two
top teams in the SEC’s Eastern
Division.

Sounds like a good sales pitch,
huh?

The Wildcats hope so, as they
spend the next two days posting
light blue posters around campus
advertising the game in an
attempt to dig up some fans.

They’ve gotten some extra
help from a host of marketing
ploys to attract fans Friday night.

Admission is waved for the
match. Basketball fans standing
in line for Midnight Madness
tickets can pick up control cards
so they don‘t lose their place in
line while watching the match.

In addition, the volleyball
team is hosting “Let‘s Make a
Deal” night, which rewards
dozens of fans with prizes in
between games.

That’s good news for UK.

"Our support goes back and
forth,” UK outside hitter Alolly
Dreisbach said yesterday after
practice in Alumni Gymnasium.
“But we’d like to get them (fans)
into it more.“

The crowd at UK’s games
waver around 300 people. Most
of those fans wear the Student
Athletic Council’s blue T—shirts
with white—letter Ks. Members of
SAC have to attend four minor
sports events per month to quali—
fy for basketball and football tick-
ets.
The volleyball players want
more.

Faster than Deion Sanders?

UK speedster
trying out for

natzonal team

By Michael Day

Contributing Writer

In a day and age where baseball
is becoming more dollars and
cents than fundamentals, one par—
ticular area is constantly being
overlooked — speed.

Gone are the days of Rickey
Henderson and Vince Coleman
terrorizing catchers with 100
stolen bases in a season. Today,
league players stru gle to reach 70
sto en bases.

Opponents of
the UK baseball
team, however,

a ar ethat the
sto en ase is alive
and well. That is,
if Chad Green is
roaming the base
paths.

Last year dur-
ing his sophomore
season, Green had
a comin out

arty. though

e struggled
offensively at the
beginning of the
season, he
rebounded to hit
over .500 during

 

 

t....

the second half.

His late-season surge left him
with a very impressive .350 batting
average in the Southeastern Con-
ference perhaps the toughest base-
ball conference in America. But
probably the greatest achievement
for Green last year was setting an
SEC record by swiping 52 stolen
I)ases during the season.

“Chad is an explosive and excit-
ing player,” UK head coach Keith
Madison said.

“He has the speed and athletic
ability to really create a lot of
problems for the opposing
defense.”

All the hard work and dedica-
tion has paid off for this junior
center fielder. Green has been
chosen, along with 65 other ama-
teur players, to participate in the
1995 Nations Bank USA Baseball

8"", "III ""EF UK center fielder Chad Green was one of 65 amateur players rhosen to try out for the US
National Team later this month. Green, a junior, set a Southeastern Conference record last season hy stealing 52 bases.
PVildcat head coach Keith .Madison even said Green is ‘very likely the fastest player in college baseball.‘

Team Trials in Homestead, Flori-
da, Oct. 25-30.

Green said it is an honor to be
chosen to try out for the Olympic
team, but the Wildcats are his
main concern right now.

“I have real high expectations
for our team,” Green said. “We
have a lot of people coming back
from last year’s team. If our pitch-
ing comes back healthy, we can do
big things this year.”

Some may believe base stealers
are anxious and in a constant hurry
both on and off the field. But
that's not Green’s style.

“I’m really laid back off the
field. I like to take my time, nor-
mally.”

But time is valuable, especially
in baseball.

Imagine this situation. Tie
game with a runner on first. Your

power hitter lines a ball in the gap.
The third base coach has to decide
whether or not to send the runner
from first. \Vith Green rounding
second, Coach Jan Weisberg usu-
ally has no doubt what to do.

“He’s very likely the fastest
player in college baseball," Madi—
son said.

“If he continues to work on the
offensive part of his game, he
could be the best lead-off hitter in
college baseball.”

Green doesn’t flinch when
someone mentions the title
“fastest man in college baseball."

“They tell me I’m the fastest,”
he said. “My best time in the 60
yard dash was 6.14 seconds.”

For those who don’t know how
fast 6.14 seconds is, Green said
two-sport standout Deion Sanders
runs it in about 6.2 seconds.

more important things in life. Anyway, we’re sorry to

Quickness, though, is only part
of being a successful base stealer.
Knowing the game, and being a
smart base runner is the other
part.

“\Vhen he first came here, he
was just a fast base runner. Now
he’s gotten a lot smarter. He has
knowledge, he has speed, and he
has outstanding athletic ability,”
Madison said.

“I think I’m a combination of
both a fast base runner and a smart
base runner," Green said. “I study
pitchers, and know what pitches to
steal on. If I’m not on base, I study
the pitcher’s move to see what
kind ofjump I can get.”

VVebster’s dictionary defines a
thief as “one that steals especially
stealthily or secretly."

Green is not a secret anymore.
But he is still a thief.

Kauttmann leading by

By Matt Millar

\Vhen there's a big game for
the Cincinnati Reds, you call on
Barry Larkin, for the Miami
Dolphins it's Dan Marino, and
for the Chicago Bulls, Michael
Jordan.

When the UK tennis team
faces a big match, who
are you onna call?
Cedric Kau ann.

Kauffmann, a 5-foot-
11, 168 pound so ho—
more, was born and lived
in Paris, France until he
was 15. His family then
moved to Bradenton,
Fla., and he attended
Bradenton Academy
where he played in the
number one singles slot.
Professional tennis star
Jim Courier attended the
same high school.

“(Kauffmann) is a
very hard-nose competi—
tor, likes the pressure
and responds well," UK Emery
tennis coach Dennis
Emery said.

Although Emery thinks of
Kauffmann as the “go to guy,”
Kauffmann is more modest. But
as a second—year player he thinks
of himself as a team leader ——
someone to guide the numerous
freshman on UK’s squad.

Kauffmann began playing ten-
nis and soccer at an early age.
But soon it was time to choose an
area of concentration. From the
way his college career is going, it
appears he may have made the
right choice.

announced.

Kauffmann said “fitness and
consistency" are his strong
points. Emery elaborated. “He is
very competitive, (and has) good
ground strokes."

Like his favorite professional
and role model, jim Courier,
Kauffmann said he fits into a cat—
egory of tennis players known as
“baseliners.”

The tennis team prac—
tices on the court during
the week for three hours a
day. In addition, the Cats
put in an hour of condi-
tioning, that includes run—
ning and lifting. Kauff-
mann said he also practices
on his own during the
weekends.

Despite all the hard
work, Kauffmann and
Emery both agree he still
has more growing to do.

“(K-auffinann's) ame
has a lot of room to evel
op, ability to be more well-
rounded, and develop serv»
ing and net game" Emery
said.

Emery said he recruited
Kauffmann to make the team
more competitive and to give
them a good hard edge.

“(UK) has a great team, good
conference, good coaching and
great teammates,” said Kauff-
mann, on why he decided to
come to UK.

Like most athletes, Kauffe
mann is not all business. In his
free time he likes to ban out
with his friends, dance anifplay
other sports.

The UK tennis program led
by Emery and assistant head
coaches Don Carbone and
Chrissy Young, have had success
in past years including a top—five
ranking in the late 1980s.

The UK coaches ho e KauffL
mann can help bring tfiem back
into the spotlight while he works
to eventually play tennis as a pro«
fessional.

“(Kauffmann) has all the
intangibles, and a chance to be a
great player in this level and the
next," Emery said.

festivities off with Las Vegas casi—
no scenes, several Elvis sightings,
cheers and lots of excitement.

Street especially near the sororit'
houses to cheer on the handy,
Homecoming finalists and their
organization's float.

Derrick Ramsey, parade grand
marshal and former UK quarter-
back, said the event brought back
a lot ofmemories.

“For some reason every time I
get close to a stadium I get excited
again," Ramsey said. “It‘s great to
see the students getting excited."

greek division was the entry by
Alpha Xi Delta social sorority,
Delta Gamma social sorority and
Phi Gamma Delta social fraternie
ty.

Phi Kappa Phi social fraternity
and FarmHouse social fraternity
constructed the second place float.
Pi Beta Phi social sorority and
Delta Tau Delta social fraternity
came in third.

In the independent category,
thc Student Development Council
placed first, followed by Student
Activities Board and the Resi—
dence Hall Association.

Gannon Green, chairwoman of

the Homecoming committee, said
the parade was a success and had
good participation.

“It’s always like this with the
atmosphere and anticipation. It’s
great,” Green said. “\Ve've got
everyone here and more."

Followin the parade, student
spectators fifled Memorial Colise-
um for \Vildcat Roar.

The UK marching band,
cheerleaders and pom squad start—
ed the event.

Coach Bill Curry and the foot—
ball team’s co-captains were intro-
duced with a rousing welcome.
Curry asked for the students sup-
port for the team this weekend.

“\Ve need you to help us win at
borne, especially at Homecoming.
\Ve want you there Saturday night
louder than ever," Curry said.

The 16 semi-finalists for
