leads Cats to M eadowlands

By Jason Datlilo
Sports Editor

MINNEAPOLIS —— The
Metrodome clock was winding
down on Wake Forest’s season
Saturday. Down 23 with 9:14 left
to play, it seemed as though the
Demon Deacons were oing to go
out with a whimper, li e so many
other UK opponents this season.

Not so.

Over the next four—plus min-
utes, Wake Forest cut into the
Cats’ lead, pulling to within 11 at
66-55 on two Tim Duncan free
throws. With 4:18 left to play,
Wake Forest, the Midwest
Region’s second seed, was in strik—
ing distance of the top-seeded
Cats.

In stepped Tony Delk.

The UK sharpshooter scored
the Cats’ next seven points, boost—
ing the Wildcats’ lead to 73-59, a

deficit the Deacons couldn’t
recover from. Delk, who collected
the Midwest Region‘s MVP
award, led all scorers with 25
points, as the Cats downed Wake
Forest 83-63.

“Tony stepped up as the leader
of the team,” junior guard Antho-
ny Epps said. “When they were
making their run he stepped up
like an All—American and a leader
should.”

The victory earned the Cats a
trip to next weekend’s Final Four,
to be played at the Meadowlands
in East Rutherford, NJ. UK will
play Massachusetts — the Min-
utemen dealt UK a 92-82 loss in
November’s Great Eight — in
Saturday’s national semifinal.

Last year at this time the Cats
were licking their wounds after
losing to North Carolina in the
regional fmal. With bitter memo-

Final Four a family afiairfor UK

MINNEAPOLIS — Anthony
Epps tugged his gray cap, hold—
ing back tears. The junior had
reason to cry; he and his UK
mates had just polished off Wake
Forest, landing in the Final Four
and redeeming the disappoint—
ment of last year’s loss to North
Carolina.

Nonetheless, Epps’ watery
eyes had less to do with basket-
ball and more to do with real-
life, which is easily lost in the
realm of big-time athletics. Epps
is human, and his mother and
aunt were unexpectedly in atten—
dance at the game. Epps was

  

clearly a changed man. Before the

Flying to New Jersey costly, but last-acting students can save a buck

By Alison Kight
Executive Editor
and Brenna Reilly
New: Editor

UK’s chances of winning a
National Championship are down
to one in four, but for students
and fans who want to cheer the
Cats on in person at the Meadow-
lands in New Jersey, the chances
might be one in a million.

One in a million, that is, if
money is an issue. The combina-
tion of ticket prices, airfare, cab-
fare and at least a three night sta
at a hotel could threaten to brea
almost anyone.

But if students move quickly
and make reservations as soon as
possible, they might be able to
save a little money.

“If you don’t make your reser-
vations as soon as possnble, ou’re

going to pay top dollar, said

A

Continental Travel Agency repre-
sentative Paul Black.

Black said there were ve few
seats left on a USAir flig t to
Laguardia Airport in New York
City (about 30 miles outside of the
Meadowlands) with a special
weekend fare of$165.

Otherwise, Black said, students
would end up having to pay
between $450 and $500.

Black said students who made
reservations without knowing
whether or not UK would make
the Final Four probably saved a
lot of money, even though they
took a non-refundable risk.

“We sold a ton of tickets at
special companion fare rates,” he
said.

“The magic in redient for
those students was t e Cats win-
nin their game this weekend.”

crican Airlines had a break—
away fare for $159 leaving Lexing-

ton Frida , but the seats are
already sold out. The remaining
seats on the flights are going for
$430.

The ticket salesman for North-
west wamed that students may not
need to stay until Monday, citing
that his home team, UMass, may
upset the Cats Saturday night.

The next ingredient students
need to throw into the mix for a
successful trip is findin a hotel
room in the New Yor ew Jer-
sey area, which promises to be
fairl expensive.

“Kou’re going to pay at least a
couple of hundred bucks a night,”
Black said.

“Hotel rooms in that area are
not nny-ante."

B ack said the students’ best bet
was trying to find a mid-level

riccd hotel, such as a Days Inn.
1: also said reservations for a
hotel need to be made as soon as

 

possible.

But at the Da 5 Inn near the
Meadowlands, t e $79-a-night
rooms are already sold out. In
order to find a hotel room for the
Final Four, students ma need to
look farther away from the Mead-
owlands in the towns of Secaucus
or Clifton. Both towns are about
15 minutes from the Meadow-
lands.

Finally, students need to take
their chances on getting one of
about 833 student tickets to the
games that are being allotted from
the 2,500 given to UK. The
Alumni Association and UK‘s
administration are also receiving
833 tickets apiece. A total of
10,000 tickets were given to the
four schools who made it to the
Final Four.

Tickets to the Final Four are
$70. The ticket lottery will be
held at 6:30 am. today.

 

likely won’t see it that way, should
the Cats (gasp!) lose.

UK stands tall at 32-2, already
the fourth-best finish in Wildcat
history. This team made up a 10—
game difference on North Caroli—
na, easing past the Tar Heels
l,648~ l ,647.

What else have they done?
They’ve been a lovable bunch,
keeping things in focus and com—
ing together as a family.

“It all happened at Indiana,"
said Derek Anderson, referring to
UK's 89—82 victory over the
Hoosiers. “That seems like eons
ago, but that’s when we all became

real brothers. hgos were out the
window. That’s what got us ht " .“

Like Sister Sledge, the Cats are
family.

That win over the Hoosiers,
which included what Anders in
called a “family-making" 18—2
run, was on the heels of a 10-point
loss to Massachusetts, the team
the Wildcats will play Saturday in
the Meadowlands.

Sneaker leads discussion ondisabled rights

Students learn about varied laws

By Ernest A. Jasmin
.S‘mror Stafl H'nrer

Educators and students from
around the Commonwealth came
to UK's Old Student Center Fri-
day to learn more about the rights
of disabled students.

Jane Jarrow, who heads the
Association of Higher Education
and Disability, gave talks through-
out the day, that clarified the
Americans with Disabilities Act
and its predecessor, the Rehabili—
ration Act. ‘

Jarrow, who has spoken on the

rights of the disabled for about H
years, emphasized the bottom line
of both pieces of civil rights legis—
lation.

“This is all about equal access,”
she said.

The Rehabilitation Act was
passed in 1973 to ensure access to
government-funded institutions
to people with disabilities. The
Americans with Disabilities Act,
which took effect in 1992, extend-
ed this protection to privately-
funded institutions. Jarrow
focused on issues specific to aca-
demic settings.

Residence ball students preparing
to celebrate Twister anniversary

By Lindsay Hendrix
Staff Writer

Did ou know that this year is
the 30t anniversary of Twister?
You know, the game full of physi-
cal predicaments and stinky feet.

Some people have vowed not
to let this celebration slip by with—
out a tribute to the Milton
Bradley game of contact.

In honor of the long—running
success of the unique game, the
company has agreed to provide
any group that could prove they
were an organization with 25

Twister mats and a huge spinner.

The Boyd/Patterson Honors
Complex decided to take them up
on the offer.

After more than three months
of work, the resident advisers and
Residence Hall Government are
finally ready for their Twister
Toumament.

At 7 pm. in the Student Cen-
ter Grand Ballroom, the twisting
begins and will continue on into
the late hours of the night, around
11 pm.

If four hours sounds like just a
little too much, take heart.

 

“There are times when I just
need them to do little things for
me.”

She said she transferred to UK
in part because of the program.
She described her experiences at
the University as positive.

“I find (UK) pretty accessible
I have a great rapport with my
teachers,” ipton said.

“I think at first it's hard for the
professor because the don’t know
what to expect from the person."

She said there is room for
improvement, however. For
example, there is the cracked
pavement in front of Patterson
Office Tower, which isn’t ideal for

The tournament is divided into

and the other from 9—11 pm.

You can take your pick of the

be sure to bring either two canned
foods or $2. The food will go to
God’s Pantry, and the money will
be contributed to Lexington’s
Florence Crittenton Home for
unwed mothers.

“Supporting a good cause and
having a good time in general” is

the goal of the event, said Phil

Brock, economics senior and
assistant hall director of
Boyd/Patterson Complex.

Even those who simply cannot
swallow the idea of human-knots
still have an opportunity for fun at

the Twister Tournament. Disc
jockeys from Arrow 102.5 will be
providing the music. Refresh-
ments will be offered for those
who work up an appetite.

Brock hopes the public service
announcements and radio adver-
tisements have reached the com-
munity. Anyone who is willing to
risk taking their shoes off and let-
ting go is invited.

“We put in a lot of effort in
making this a fun event for every-
body,” Brock said. He hopes peo-
ple on-campus and off-campus get
involved.

And he has some advice for
everyone who decided to come.

“Wear clean, fun socks and be
ready to twist the night away.”

lllext 188! lfll‘ Dole Will come during llllllflflt battle

By Alan Fram

Arroa'ated Press

WASHINGTON ——— As Presi-
dent Clinton and Congress square
off this week in perhaps the finale
of their 1996 budget war, there
will be an interesting subplot
involving firebrand House Repub-
licans and Bob Dole’s White
House aspirations.

Facing a Friday deadline,
administration officials and GOP
leaders will try to broker a deal on
a $160 billion bill financing
dozens of agencies for the rest of
fiscal 1996 and avoiding another
federal shutdown. As they do, the

measure will be a test case of

whether Dole — the party’s lead—
er in November’s election —— can
persuade confrontational House
Republicans to compromise with
Clinton on some of their most
heartfelt principles.

The odds are Dole will succeed
because it would be too costly for
him and congressional Republi—
cans to fail. A new shutdown
would tarnish his reputation as an
achiever, encourage support for a
third-party candidate like Ross
Perot, and wound efforts by GOP
lawmakers to appear reasonable,
not extremist.

But getting there won’t be
easy. There remains a deep-seated
reluctance among many conserva—

tive House Republicans to com-
promise with Clinton on central
GOP issues like spending cuts and
government regulation — even
though Dole, House Speaker
Newt Gingrich, R~Ga., and other
House leaders want them to.
“He’s got to run a presidential
campaign, but he doesn’t have to
win my congressional seat,” said
Rep. Mark Souder, R—Ind., one of
the most conservative of the 74
House GOP freshmen. Souder
says that while he and other
Republicans want to avoid anoth-
er shutdown, striking a deal “is
like business as usual again” —
anathema to first—term Republi-
cans who pledged to change

Washington’s ways.

“Sometimes you can’t please
everyone,” Dole told reporters
last week about his quandary with
House Republicans, adding, “It’s
my view and the speaker’s view
that we want to get some things
done, and if we can’t do them
solely with Republican votes,
obviously, we’d like to have
Democratic support."

For Dole, a noisy rift with
House Republicans over the bill
could prcsage more than just
another messy budget fight. It
could signal a presidential cam—
paign in which Dole has to spend
time wooing core GOP conserva—
tives, diminishing his efforts to
attract more moderate swing vot-
ers.
