Officials atlilrcss campus attack ‘rumors'

By Ellen Lord
Smfl‘ ll 'i'llt'l'

and Mal Herron
Campux Editor

One reported rape and one inci-
dent ofassault have been reported
to UK campus police, said Joseph
Burch, vice president for Universiv
ty Relations, in an official state—
ment yesterday afternoon.

“On Nov. 1, University police
were informed that a student
claimed that she had been raped,"
Burch said.

The original report to UK
police came frotii an outside

source whom Burch would not
reveal. lt stated that the rape
“occurred outside the residents
halls, in a residential area on the
south side of campus." Burch said.
“The UK police continue to
investigate this alleged incident."

The assault incident was
reported on Oct. 9 to the L'niver-
sity' police. The female victim
“was knocked down, btit was itot
injured," Burch said. The [K
Police had not confirmed or
denied sexual involvement and are
still investigating. he said.

Dean of Students David Stock—
hatti met with student leaders in
his office yesterday to help eliiiii—

itate fears that multiple assaults
have or are occurring. But student
government officials remain
unsatisfied with the .idtiiinistra-
tion's response time.

"Students have to be up in arms
for something to get done." said
Melanie (.‘ruI. president of the
Student (iovernment \ssociation.
“This is .t flashback to the attack."
said (Irul. referring to 'lianya
Marie Cole. an black student who
was attacked in NW).

Some who attended the meet—
ing with Stockhaiii said he was
straightforward on the issue.

“I believe he tries to answer any
questions the students have." said

\\'hitney llale. a public policv
adiitinistration graduate student.
“I'm a little concerned he‘s not
getting information."

The Dean of Students Office
gets faxes regularly frolli campus
altd city police. but he said no law
exists that stipulates “everything
had that happens to students
should be reported" to them.

.-\nd instead of facts. rumors
have flooded the campus this

University's collection ‘SIIEClal'

Newer, foster stein for finding
boo/es it port 0 new library plan

By Michael Overman
Smfl’ll 'rirer

After a series of weather delays,
the “CT. Young Library is sched—
uled to openJan. 2.

Paul \Villis. director of
libraries. said. “There is some
hope ofopening it in January. But
that is on the condition that we
get the hook collection moved by
then.

“\Ve can’t run the risk of
beginning to move the collection
over the winter break, and then
having to stop because the
semester had begun. In light of
that possible fact. we might have
a phased opening; such that the
library would open as soon as the
computers are ready; in which
CK“: we would have to move the
canection after the spring

semester.“

But will this new library he that
much better than the old one? For
$58 million, it ought to be at least
functioning with .state-ol—the—art
equipment.

Not to worry.

“Each study table will have
Internet connections and electri—
cal outlets for 50 percent of its
seats," \\'il|i.s said.

“The basement level will con-
tain a computer lab with 180 new
terminals instead of having
books on 17 total levels. as in the
old library, the \\'.'l‘. Young
library will contain all of the
books on two levels (the fourth
and the fifth). \\'hilc the over-
sized books will be on level three
with the reference books and
periodicals on level two."

Being able to discern on which

level to look for books in the
library and then actually being
able to find those books is a com—
mon concern among some stu-
dents at L'K.

“I did have to find some books
on the fourth or fifth floor (at M.l.
King). lt was difficult. as it took
me twenty to thirty minutes to
find just a few books." said finance
junior Bijan Salehi.

And coiilputer science fresh-
man l’ete llarding couldn’t even
find the books for which he was
looking.

“ The books that they said
were there. weren‘t there. .-\nd.
they were new books as well. All

Two weeks after (Iircle of lmani
traveled to the Million \Voinan March
in Philadelphia on the assumption that
part of their trip would be unded by
Student Government Association. the
grow is broke and an ry.

5 9A President .‘vfe anie Cruz last
Wednesday vetoed the bill that allocat—
ed 5750 to (Iircle of lmani. \thn SGA
initially voted on the issue. they had
reached a tie, which was broken by Vice

President Alizha Rice.

“SGA is su osed to act in ood
faith." (Iircle oiplitiani Treasurer \ 'allis
Malone said. “It's up to them to decide
what to fund. But l have a problem
when you let somebody do something
thinking that you're going to pay for it,
then you veto it."

In her official decision. Cruz cited
two reasons for her decision: The trip
involved only l4 students and the Mil-
lion VVotnan March was exclusive in
nature.

“This veto is not to express or im ly
that l disap rove of the event itself,"
she wrote. “i 1y job as president is to
ensure that allocation of student money
is done in such a manner as to benefit
the campus community as a whole."

Malone said her group will appeal
(Iruz's decision in S( iA Supreme (Iourt.
They are consulting legal counsel to see
what other options might be available.

By Price Atkinson
Senior Staff llr’rircr

Bestowed with less than gra—
cious tidings of good joy, UK is
looking to rid the negative stigma
associated with “Vandy.”

Until last year, when the Cats
finally ended their five— ame losing
streak to the Cominodiires. 25-0,
UK had garnered a handful ofloss-
es against a Vandy squad at the
bottotn of the Southeastern Con—
ference.

“You look at the records and
you always see they're at the bot-
totn so you’re thinking you just
have to show up." UK senior
linebacker Bob llolmberg said.
“But we‘re not to that level where
we can just show up and beat
teams. We need to be mentally
focused.”

Fellow senior john Schlarman
acknowledged I'lolmberg's assess—
ment of the troublesome situation
for the Cats.

“\Ve've had some bad luck
against them,“ Schlarman. an
offensive guard. said. “I think most
ofit was just in our heads.

“They seemed to have our

number the last five years in a row.
Last year we played a nice game
against them and we ptit all the
other stuff behind us."

The final occasion for L'K to
pick up an SEC victory on the road

' this season will come on Saturday

in the Music City at Vanderbilt
Stadium with kickoff scheduled for
3 part.

'l‘aking the Coitimodores too
lightly seemed to be a problem for
the Cats in past preparations. in
his first year at UK, head coach
llal Mumme said that will not be
the case on against Vandy on
Senior Day.

“I don't know how that got
started but that will not be the
case." Alumine warned. “l assure
you of that."

llolmberg added. “We’re not
taking them lightly this year like
we have in the past maybe. Coach
Mumme is worried about us takin I
them too lightly. and I don’t think
we are."

For L'K. a win at Vandy is more
important than avoidin ending
the season as the cellar t weller of
the SFC l‘iastern Division.

The Cats are hoping two more

triumphs would give them the six
wins they need to travel one more
time before the season's end.

“This gatne is huge for us."
Schlarman said. “This is the sea-
son. \\'e have to win the last two
games to go to a bowl and that
includes this one.

“\Ve have to go down there and
beat Vandy to have a shot at a bowl
game against Tennessee. If we
want postseason play. we have to
win it.

\'andy is still looking for its first
win in the SEC after six unsuccess—
ful attempts. It might be their last
opportunity as the Commodores
face the Volunteers to close their
season as does L'K.

While their record is far from
superb. they do own the best
defense in the SFC. statistically.

At home against 1.5L' on Oct. 4.
the Commodores narrowly missed
an upset as the Tigers blocked a
game-winning field goal on the
game's final play to escape with a

the biggest concern for Vandy
head coach \Voody \Videnhofer is
his offense — a unit that’s had dif—

ticulties putting up the points.

Yandy quarterback Damian
Allen leads the Commodores'
rushing attack that is averaging
only 133 yards per game coupled
with 150 yards through the air.

If the CR defense is able to stop

gold into passing situations with
Allen‘s SFC lowest QB rating in

UK volleyball players Cynthia
Dozier and Tracy Thompson have
a lot in common.

They consider leadership to be
most effective when shown by
example. The have established
reputations as hard workers. They
traveled from far away to play for
the Cats. They aspire
to attend graduate
school.

But tonight, they
will add one more
thin to the list — they

last home game.

“l'd be lying ifl didn't say that
what we've done on the court
wasn't disappointing,” Thompson
said. “it didn’t turn out like I had
expected. but I will always look
back at all the things I've learned
and be satisfied that it all worked
out.”

As far as their coach is con-
cerned, however things did turn
out as expected.

“If I could have a
prototypical student—
athlete. either of these
two would be it." Flory
said. “\Ve knew when
we recruited them that
they were amazing tal-
ents and amazing peo-
ple. They are exactly

came to Lexin ton- in 1994. The
duo re resente the first recruiting
class 0 the Fran Flory era and were
following a UK team that had gone
29-4 the season before they had
arrived.

But in their three-plus seasons
with the Cats, Thompson and
Dozier have seen their team com—

ii: a 47-73 record. Despite the
ack of success on the court,
Thompson insists the more impor-
tant goals have been accomplished.

“They are the example

of what a student-ath—
lete should be. They always work
hard in the gym and they always set
such a great example for the whole
team.”

Dozier‘s best season was in
i995. when she hit .190 with 224
kills and I32 blocks.

“During her so homore year
(1995). she used to Fit balls on the
court and people had no idea where

Since then. the outside hitter
has seen only limited action, play-
ing mostly on the back row.

Meanwhile. Thompson. a mid

early in the season. Thompson has
filled in for the injured jenny
Muzzey and ranks fifth on the team
in hitting efficiency.

Despite less playing time than
expected. Thompson and Dozier
have maintained a positive outlook
this season and continue to take
their leadership roles seriously.

“Easily. these two could have
labeled this a bad situation and
bailed on us," Flory said. “Instead.
they rose to the. challen e and have
done what's been needed to help
this team.”

“I would like to have won
more," Dozier said. “At the same
time, thou h, it probably won't
make any ifference — I've had a

Tonight‘s match not only repres
sents the last for the team's two
seniors, btit it also represents the
Cats" final chance to make up
ground in the Southeastern Con—
ference standings. Fifth place in the
SFC's Eastern division is at stake in
the weekend series with Tennessee
— but only if the Cats win both
tonight‘s match and Sunday’s
match in Knoxville.

Fighting for fifth place?

The sixth place team faces 3 ms
sible match-up with No. 4 Florida
in the second round of the confer-
ence tournament. Fifth place
means a second-round matchup
with a less intimidating Arkansas
squad.

“This weekend is as critical as it
gets." Flory said. “W’c have to win
these two matches. That's all there
is to it.”
