The duel begins as two fencers face off. They are
dressed in white, their faces obscured by wire-mesh
masks. Swords at the ready. the fencers duel to the
death — or the touch.

“A bout is won after ﬁve touches," said UK
fencer Carl Lutzer, a sixth-year doctoral candidate
in mathematics.

The fencing club has been dueling it out since
the early 19705.

The club fences three types of weapons: the foil.
epée and saber. Each offers its own challenges and
techniques.

In medieval France, aristocrats fought duels for
honor, and fought to the death. Lutzer said the tar—
get area of foil fencing, the torso, grew out of the to-
the—death dueling.

Epée grew out of the frustration of the French
government over the large numbers of aristocrats
killed in sword duels.

“The sword was part of the culture," Lutzer
said, “so they couldn’t just ban it.”

Instead, dueling moved from a duel to the death
to a duel to ﬁrst blood. Dan McCune, a third-year

pharmacology graduate, said the whole body be-
came a target.

“Honor could be satisfied by drawing first
blood." Lutzer said.

The origins of saber are more clouded. McCune
said the weapon developed either from a calvary
weapon or from the Old Navy sidearms. or from the
old rapier.

The saber, unlike the thrusting foil and epée. is
a cutting weapon. Calvary riders slashed at each
other. trying to cut the upper body of their oppo-
nent. The horse. a valuable war prize. was never in-
tentionally harmed.

Lutzer, who fences the saber. said the weapon is
most often seen in the movies.

The UK club meets from 8 pm. to 10 pm. on
Tuesdays and Thursdays at the Buell Armory.

“The club does have its own gear." said club
president Chris Lusena. a computer science gradu-
ate student.

Students and faculty are encouraged to come
out and try out the sport. Lutzer said.

“I learned pretty quick," Lusena said. “It took
about two to three months to get really comfort-
able."

Big changes In the Bluegrass

FRANKFORT —-» People who think nothing
ever happens in Kentucky obviously have not
picked up their copy of the “Kentucky Compre
hensive Annual Financial Report for the ﬁscal
year ended June 30. 1998."

Without it, you might never know the dra-
matic changes that took place in just one year.
Though some of the information may border on
the trivial. the numbers are not.

I There are more of us. The population rose
from 3,882,071 on Dec. 31, 1996 to 3,908,214 on
Dec. 31, 1997.

0 We make more money. Per capita income
rose from $19,470 to $20,599.

0 More of us work. The unemployment rate
declined from 5.6 percent to 5.4 percent.

0 Fewer of us were building houses.
Residential construction fell from 18,778 units to
18,114.

0 We have less money. Bank deposits fell
from $39.769,000.000 to $38,247 000000

0 We have less stuff, at least stuff that’s
taxable. The assessed value of real and personal
property fell from $254,367,477,000 in the 1996 tax
year to $234,107,752,000. But the tax collectors are
getting better. They collected $414,858,000 last
year compared with $409,177,000 the year before.
Last year they collected 101.3 percent of the total
tax levy, meaning they collected some overdue
taxes as well.

0 Somehow, we have fewer places to drive.
The number of miles of highways, roads and
streets fell from 73,172 to 73.035.

Police fear rapist at work again

HARRISBURG. Ill. __ A serial rapist who has
not struck in three years may once again be at
work in southeastern Illinois and western Ken-
tucky, investigators said yesterday.

The sexual assault of two women at a popu—
lar hiking spot last week had striking similari-
ties to three others linked by DNA evidence to
one unidentiﬁed man, said Master Sgt. Ken Clore
of the Illinois State Police.

The suspect‘s description has been similar in
each attack , a moderately-built, dark-haired
man wearing a ski mask and carrying what ap-
pears to be an automatic handgun. But nothing
so far conclusively links the most recent attack
with the earlier ones, Clore said.

Investigators hope to submit DNA evidence
from the two recent assaults for comparison
with DNA from the earlier cases. he said.
“There's a great possibility that it might be the
same man." he said.

after an apparent heating fuel spill contaminated
ground water, ofﬁcials said yesterday.

The drinking water problem closed schools
in the county yesterday.

The diesel fuel spill apparently occurred
Tuesday at an elementary school southwest of
Radcliﬁ', said city ﬁre chief Richard Ledford.

The fuel oil spill got into the ground water
and penetrated the Hardin County Water District
No. 1 treatment plant about a mile from the
school, authorities said. The water district serves
about 25,000 people in northern Hardin and part
of Meade counties.

“The water department started receiving
complaints of an unusual odor, that it smelled
like fuel," Ledford said.

The state Division of Water issued the public
advisory yesterday urging people not to drink,
cook or wash dishes with the water, Ledford said.

Gunman kills 3 in church

GONZALES, La. — The pastor had just start-
ed reading a Bible lesson about being born again
when the gunman kicked open the doors, ﬁred
twice into the ceiling and ordered everybody to
hit the ﬂoor.

He then marched down the aisle, shooting be-
tween the benches as screaming parishioners
scattered in horror and pausing once to calmly
reload. Among the crowd, police said, were the
man’s wife and 2-year—old son.

“His little boy turned and said, ‘Daddy.’ That’s
when he shot. He hit his wife ﬁrst and then the
baby,” congregation member Lolita Enkadi said.

“And then he just started emptying his gun.
He shot one in the back of the head. We were all
trying to get down. I just lay on the bench and
started praying.”

Shon Miller’s 25-year-old wife, Carla; their
son, Shon Jr.; and another member of the New St.
John Fellowship Baptist Church were killed
Wednesday night at the one-story stucco church
20 miles southeast of Baton Rouge. Four others
were wounded.

“The safest place in world I always thought
was a church, and now that sanctuary has been
broken,” police Chief Bill Landry said. “We’ll all
be a long time getting over this."

'ltavelers unlikely to he found alive

EL PORTAL, Calif. — Federal agents were
using all-terrain vehicles yesterday to search the
rugged western border of Yosemite National
Park for a woman, her daughter and a teen-age
friend who have been missing for nearly a
month.

A day after saying the FBI had conﬁrmed his
worst fears, Jens Sund said he was heartened by
the intensified search for his wife and daughter
and an Argentinian friend.

He apologized yesterday for more dire com-
ments he made aﬁer meeting with the FBI on
Wednesday at the command center in Modesto. He
emerged from that meeting saying without elabo
ration he was “devastated” by the FBI‘s news.
Yesterday. he said the information he had received
was no different from what he’d been told before: It
is unlikely the three would be found alive.

But they can occur at any
time.

“Just last month there
was a tornado up around
Union that caused a lot of
damage," Bailey said.

But many students
question UK’s storm pre
paredness.

Pam Novick, a kinesiol‘
ogy junior and resident ad-
viser in Kirwan Tower, said
there's no formal training
for RAs to deal with the pos-
sibility of severe weather.

“I imagine we would all
just go to the basement,”
she said. “I think it is about
the same as the fire alarm
system.”

Thomas Kirkland, an
art studio freshman, said
he doesn’t know of any
emergency procedures in

his dorm.

“I sort of would hope
that the RAs would know
what to do,” Kirkland said.
“But this is not something I
lay awake at night thinking
about. I don’t really have se
vere weather phobias.”

A person is safest in a
basement, said Marilyn Sholz,
a meteorologist with the Na-
tional Weather Service.

“Your best bet is a base
ment where you can ﬁnd
cover under stairs or some-
thing heavy," she said. “I
won’t go as far as to say
that’s safe. but it’s safer
than nothing."

Jill Walker, an architec-
ture junior and an RA in
Blanding Tower, said the
emergency procedures in
the dorms were the same as
for a ﬁre.

“Someone would have to
pull the alarm,” Walker said.
“The difference is that every—
one would go down to the

Training centers are
not only a much larger
cost, but many require peo-
ple to several classes for

certain courses, which
could be difficult for stu-

ules, DeLucia said.

The group’s system does
not certify in any of its
courses, but will fully pre—
pare users for certiﬁcation
tests if they want to take

UK's Smith matches up with Henson
in first round Cajun tilt with spice

By Jen Smith

NEW ORLEANS ~
Ask any player or any
coach any question
about playing the in
NCAA Tournament.
and they always start
their answer with how
“excited” they are.

And while New Mex-
ico State‘s veteran Coach
Lou Henson seemed ex-
cited enough, he was
quick to say one thing he
wasn’t excited about.

“It‘s kind of interest-
ing." he started. “I
watched our kids as they
came in the Superdome.
Then I watched the Ken-
tucky players. They
seemed more relaxed.
more comfortable."

Comfortable, be-
cause eight of the UK
players have been in
this situation before.
and comfortable be-
cause they are coming
off big wins. conﬁdence
builders if you will.
Comfortable because
they are defending a na-
tional title. And com-
fortable because they
make other teams like
No. 14 seed New Mexico
State uncomfortable.

But you wouldn't
know they were uncom-

fortable by their pre-
game press conference.

“I hope (UK) is look-
ing past us," New Mexi-
co point guard Billy
Keys said. “This is a one
game situation. Maybe
all of our shots can fail.
maybe all of their shots
won't. We just wanna go
in relaxed.“

Relaxed might be a
little easier with three
players scoring in double
ﬁgures. One of them.
Eric Channing (10.2
points per game). is the
seventh~most consistent
threepoint shooter in the
country. The others are
Keys (13.7) and forward
Charles Gosa (13.7).

UK players Hes-
himu Evans, Scott Pad—
gett and Wayne Turner
seemed most concerned
with that threepoint
shooting. The Aggies are
38 percent from behind
the arc. The Cats (after a
trey fest at the SEC) are
shooting 32 percent.

But the Aggies,
which are coming off a
seven-game win streak,
seemed kind of offended
by the notion that UK
stopping the three will
shut down their team.

“1 think we have
more of a complete game
than that." Gosa said.

Utah loom large for UK

By Matt May
SPORTSOAIIY EDITOR

NEW ORLEANS - Eight
teams have made it to the Big
Easy this weekend, with
dreams two victories and a
trip to the TWA Dome in St.
Louis next weekend. Here's
what the big boys, and little
ones. are saying in the Super-
dome:

O Utah _ The always 10-
quacious and quotable Ute
Head Coach Rick Majerus
was rather low-key at yester-
day‘s press conferences. How‘
ever. perhaps Majerus‘ most
interesting comment dis-
cussed how good of a confer-
ence the soon-to-be-left WAC
is. “We‘ve got the best tradi-
tion in our league." Majerus
said. “We‘re in a forgotten
time zone. It's (The Mountain
West division of the WAC) is
the best of both worlds."

As far as another poten
tial matchup with UK, Utah
All-American guard Andre
Miller said he'd could do
without.

“l‘m really tired of seeing
Kentucky in the same brack-
et,“ he said. “Hopefully, if we
do run into Kentucky. 1 hope
it won‘t be like last year."

0 Arkansas State - While
Utah talked about how dan-
gerous Arkansas State would
be. Indians Head Coach Dick-
ey Nutt said the Utes are darn
near unbeatable.

“We‘ve been watching
film and trying to point out
any weaknesses on Utah, but
we can‘t ﬁnd any." Nutt said,

Arkansas State guard
Chico Fletcher was a little
more optimistic than his
coach.

“Every year there‘s a
Cinderella team in the tour
nament. Anybody can beat
anyone on a given night. This
is the tournament. Anybody
who plays well might come
out and win."

a Washington it's a fami»
ly homecoming for Washing»
ton guard Donald Watts. as
he returns to the former
stomping grounds of his fa~
ther, Slick Watts.

Donald said returning to
New Orleans is a great feel-
ing for him.

“It‘s great to be here in
New Orleans. It's a wonderful
City. one where my father
made. a name for himself."
Watts said. “The South feels
like home to me. My father
played basketball for the New
Orleans Jazz. When we go out
and around the town. people
remember him.“

31% Miami (Ohio) it's all

the attention.

Szczerbiak said choosing

. Scarlet
' * display

SUNNYSIDE, Wash. -
Dixie Lyczewski has
turned off the
flashing strobe light,
but the T-foot-tall
scarlet “A" in her
front yard will stay.

The yard display is a
result of a dispute
between Mrs.
Lyczewski and her
husband. Tim. They
separated last August
after 26 years of
marriage.

Their 20-year-old
daughter, Tarah, built
the display using
plastic irrigation pipe
wrapped in red
garlands three
months ago. It's
shaped like the letter
‘A," as in
"adultery."

She said she got the
idea from Nathaniel
Hawthorne's The
Scarlet Letter after
her father began
dating and moved in
with another woman

. before her parents'
divorce was final.

"We were raised with
high morals," she
said. "I told my dad
that we'll take it
down if he stops
living with her."

Tim Lycenski said he is
frustrated about the
display, but a
restraining order
prevents him from
getting a close look
at it.

”They're trying to do it
to embarrass me, but
they're doing a
better job of
embarrassing
themselves," he said.
“They see it as an
affair. I'm 48 years
old, and I see it as a
relationship."

Scholarly
welcome

OXFORD, England —
Monica Lewinsky got
the royal treatment
at Oxford University.

Some students turned
out in white tie and
tails to greet
Lewinsky during her
book tour Thursday,
carrying signs with
such messages as
"Take her back, Bill"
and "Oxford
welcomes the Second
Lady."

Lewinsky is nearing the
end of the first week
of a l9-stop tour of
Britain to promote
her biography
Monica '5 Story,
which tells of her
affair with President
Clinton.

"Our message is 'We are
right behind you
Monica,” Will
Watkins said.

Kernel passed
over important
forum on alcohol

To the editor:

Picture this:

A female UK student is driving
on Alumni Drive.

A drunk driver going 63 mph
sideswipes her car. Her passenger
door is now where her steering
wheel is supposed to be.

The police were called. The
first ofﬁcer to report on the scene
was a UK police officer who had
just graduated from police train-
ing. He rushed to the girl and
opened her car. She reached out
for him and died in his arms.

This is just one of the many
truelife scenarios discussed at the
“DUI’s and You" forum held by
Student Government Association.
But no one on campus would know
what I am referring to. thanks to
the Kernel.

Myself and two other SGA sen-
ators did the usual things to pro-
mote this and put ﬂyers up on
campus and in the Interfraternity
Council, Panhellenic and Student
Activities Board mailboxes.

Without success, we called the
Kernel to run an ad. Another one
tried to have a letter to the editor
about the forum printed on the Di-
alogue page. But the letter never

appeared in the Kernel.

The Kernel devoted a signiﬁ-
cant amount of publicity about a
