Learning
from others

Sometimes people make
mistakes. Sometimes
they were not
mistakes until they
got caught, but at
least this guy had a
comeback that beats
most others like All
did in his prime.

As reported in the
Washington Post:

In summary, the police
arrested a 22-year-
old male resident of
Dracula 6a., in a
pumpkin patch at
11:38 pm. Friday for
lewd and Iascivious
behavior, public
indecency and public
intoxication.

The suspect explained
that as he was
passing a pumpkin
patch and decided to
stop. “You know, a
pumpkin is soft and
squishy inside, and
there was no one
around for miles. At
least I thought there
wasn't."

He proceeded to stop
and cut a hole in an
appropriately sized
pumpkin that he felt
was appropriate for
his purposes to
satisfy his alleged
“need."

In the process, a
Gwinnett County
police car
approached, with the
man in question still
unaware, as he was
“really into it."
Officer Brenda Taylor
approached him. ”It
was an unusual
situation, that's for
sure," she said later
of the incident.

"I just went up and said,
'Excuse me sir, but
do you realize that
you are screwing a
pumpkin?’ He froze
and was clearly
surprised that l was
there and then
looked me straight in
the face and said, 'A
pumpkin, damn is
it midnight
already?“

Fun things
you can do

- Fill latex medical
gloves and plastic
masks with water and
freeze. Place in a red
punch for your party.
Call it cannibal tea or
something.

- Keep the keg cold with
dry ice. Creates a
great spooky-looking
keq while keeping it
plenty cold.
(Downfall: Cops have
a smoke trail to
follow to the keg.)

Bush's plans good

Moving on: Future looks bright with
George W. Bush as president, students say

By Tracy Kershaw
NEWS EDITO—R '

With the days before the
election dwindling down.
George W. Bush maintains an
advantage over Vice President
Al Gore. according to an Oct. 27
CNN [SA Today Gallup tracks
ing poll.

This is good news for col-
lege students and Kentucky.
said Stan Cave. the Bush Ch-
eney Fayette (‘o. representa-
tive.

College students should en-
trust Bush with the presidency
because he has a better plan for
the future.

“In all of political issues.
there tends to be a short term
philosophy and long term phi-
losophy. in my judgement.
George W. has a better long-
term." he said. "Students are
looking for that long term. to
own a business or be successful
in their field."

Students want that hope
waiting for them. Cave said.

"Gov. Bush has a stronger
and clearer vision of what is
good for the nation." he said.

Bush‘s plan for Social Se-
curity is a prime example. (‘ayc
said.

“Something will have to be
done to take care of Gen X and
Gen Y." be said. “It takes a
long-term philosophy to start
making plans for that now."

Bush is now focusing his
campaign on California. a state
Gore once had locked. Now
Gore's lead in the electoral
votes is less substantial. and
Bush is looking to capture the
biggest electoral prize at stake.

Bush would better Ken»
tucky's prosperity. Cave
thinks.

“There are some tradition-
al issues that are important to

Kentucky. including fossil fuels
and coal mining. Al Gore is the
number one enemy of fossil
fuels.“ he said.

Cave called the
Clinton Gore administration
"antagonists" toward tobacco
farm families.

”They don't

want them

around." he said. “it is a way of

life and an economic corner-
stone that we have had for
years."

Bush brings common sense
values to public policy that res;
onate With the salt of the earth
people in Kentucky. he said.

As Fayette Co. chairman.
(fave has worked with student
supporters of Bush. He thinks
students are looking for a
leader like Bush who believes
in smaller government and
more individual liberties. Stil-
dents also want someone who

will lead the US into an era of

entrepreneurship

"Students today are look
ing for the time when they get
out of school atid economic
prosperity." Cave said.

Dawn Freeman. an ac.
counting and finance senior. is
one of these students. Freeman
supports Bush‘s Social Security
plan.

"With his plan. not only
will it be there. it will be big-
ger." she said.

Freeman. who works at an
accounting firm. is a proponent
of Bush's tax' plan.

Young people can appreci-
ate a tax cut more because they
can invest it and then have it
upon retiring. Freeman said.

Overall. Bush and Cheney
will be good for America. Free-
man said.

"l think that he will. to
gether with Cheney. bring a
good knowledge base to the
presidency." she said.

Gov. Bush has a
stronger and clearer
Vision of what is good
for the nation.”

Bush/Cheney Fayette Co. representative

”At the end of the day. you

play them under a tree with an
acoustic guitar and that is
what our music comes down
to." said Ed Toth. drummer of
the band Vertical Horizon.
whose deserved recognition is
long overdue.

This laid back. remotely
mellow attitude is what has
carried Vertical Horizon
through changes in their ca
reers. themselves and their
music.

“This band originated
with Keith and Matt at George»

"They played a weekly gig at
the coffee house there. and at
the end of the year they put to

response. then creating Verti-

There is a sense of detec-
tion and concern on each flori-
zon album that is listened to.
This. according to Toth. has
been nothing but the challenge
of staying interested.

“It is a matter of staying
interested. i mean. some feel
we keep putting out good stuff

some feel it was the powers

Louisville that prohibits dis
crimination against homosex-
uals. but it does not apply to
religious organizations.

The case has turned Pe-
dreira into a local symbol for
lesbian and gay rights. and on
a larger scale. civil rights.
which has gained her the sup-
port of a wide array of individ‘
uals. including the parents of a
child that was under her care.
and the Rev. Paul Simmons. a
former professor at the South-
ern Baptist Theological Semi-
nary in Louisville.

Her symbolic status is also
one of the reasons the UK
chapter of the ACLU is bring-
ing Pedreira to campus.

Casey Holland. a political
science sophomore and presi-
dent of llK's ACLU. said the

goal of Pedreira's visit is to let
people know that efforts are
being made to stop this sort of
discrimination.

“We want people to know
that if this sort of thing hap-
pens, there is a recourse.” he
said. “This is not acceptable
practice for a government-fund-
ed organization.”

The case also bears nation-
al significance by raising ques-
tions about where the Consti-
tution draws the line concern—
ing public funding of religious
organizations. Supporters of
Pedreira claim that Kentucky
is violating the Constitution's
establishment clause by using
taxpayer money to fund a par—
ticular brand of Christianity.

Holland is also concerned
about the misappropriation of
tax dollars.

"Personally, i don‘t feel
comfortable with my tax mon-
ey being used to practice dis-
crimination." he said.

anti talk about the sound we
want to get. It just happens."

Horizon has been coni-
pared to bands such as Dave
Matthews and Phish. but they
define their style both musical-
ly and lyrically with a more
simplistic. wholesome defini-
tion.

“1 would say we are a
pop. rock band. And I mean
pop like George Gershwin. not
the Backstreet Boys. I'd say
more like the Beatles in the
sense that we try to put out a
good. decent song."

Many people who consider
themselves fans of \i'ertical
Horizon have openly expressed
their opinions with regard to
the "change" in the new al-
bum's sound. Horizon had tak-
en itito account their fans and
speaks frotn the heart.

“Naturally. you want the
older fans to like the new stuff.
but it upsets me about the
change in music idea. I just say

that we made a different record.
it's a new direction for us. Ifthe
fans don't like it, that is fine.
We all have our preferences. I
prefer U2's Joshua Tree over
Pop."

Horizon has built their
lives around touring these past
few years. Rumored to be an in-
tense life, Horizon takes it in
their own relaxed stride.

“I love it [touring]. any»
time. anywhere! We like small
places and big places. l walk in
sometimes and say ‘Wow. can
we fill this place?”

Horizon has a particular
interest in reaching every fan
out there by making them-
selves available and willing.

“We want everyone to be
able to see us. We play college
campuses. clubs and arenas.
We like all of them for different
reasons."

When asked where he saw
Vertical Horizon in the next
five years. Toth responded with
an answer undoubtedly unre-
hearsed.

“In the next five years I see
this band touring and touring!
That is what we do! We area di-
verse group of guys and tour-
ing is what we do!“

KERNEL COLUMNISI

XFL apathy proves
extremely frustrating

Caution: This column re-
quires extreme sarcasm in order
to be read properly.

I've had a few days to get
over it. but I'm still steaming
over what happened last week»
end.

I knew it was going to be a
crappy weekend anyway. be
cause there wasn't going to be
any good college football on TV
Saturday with the mighty Wild-
cats on a bye Week.

So instead of watching all
of those other boring college
games. I wanted to watch the
next best thing the XFI.
draft.

You know the XFL. don't
you?

It‘s that new football league
started up by WWF president
Vince McMahon (and no. he's
not on steroids) and NBC sports
director Dick Ebersol (and no.
he's not bitter over the NFL
leaving NBC for CBS).

These are two real stand—up
guys. And I think they can
make the XFL the best football
league in the whole wide World.
or at least in Kentucky.

Forget about those so~called
“talented" pro football players.
I don‘t even waste my time with

ears Sr'ihepraaa

curtaiauihicatuumsr

 

them. 1 just can't wait to watch
the “real" players play.

It's not important that
these guys wouldn't make the
Cincinnati Bengals' practice
squad. is it'.’

So. on Saturday. I got my
beefjerky and my six pack of
bee uh. I mean soda, and
went looking through the TV
Guide for the time and channel
to watch the draft live. but I
couldn‘t find it.

And that wasn't fair. The
”other" football league's draft
was nationally televised. so
why didn‘t these alleged “media
outlets" cover this ground
breaking event?

That got me so mad. and I
knew the only way I would be
able to calm down would be to
watch NBC‘s NBA preview, be-
cause the only thing better than
watching the NBA‘s two-on-two
basketball is watching a pre-
view of it.

During the broadcast. the
peacock network began show
ing a recap of the first round of
the draft. 1 was so excited. be-
cause I figured I could finally
use my mock draft card after
all.

1 saw that former Ilniyersi
ty of Louisville "stand—out" Jeff

Brohm was selected by the ()r-
lando Whatchamicallits.

But it came to no one‘s sur-
prise when the Los Angeles
Whoevers chose Maryland
quarterback Scott Milanovich.
Yeah. nobody throws the deep
ball better than what's his
name.

But my excitement was
squashed. when the peacock
network turned its attention
back to the NBA.

So instead of doing any-
thing drastic to myself. I decid-
ed to wait for Sunday‘s sports
coverage. figuring that the draft
had to be the sports page's front
story.

But wouldn't you know it.
the Lexington Herald-leader
simply dropped the ball when
they didn't see the importance
of this colossal news event.
They only ran a small brief in
the notes section.

I don’t know. Because of
this I‘m really thinking of can
celing my subscription.

So for now. I guess I'll just
have to sit through these super-
dull college and pro football sea-
sons. and wait for the XFI. to
begin. sometime next year. or
at least I think that‘s when it
starts.

Hoops in sight, in mind

This time of year there is a
distinct excitement in the air.
The college football elite bear
down on keeping their perfect
records. and those without
flawless records pray for a bowl
bid.

But something is missing.
yet I can‘t figure out what it is.
Oh yes. college basketball is
upon us. Eventually. Nov. 9 is
the start of what promises to be
another outstanding year in
hoops.

This means a break from
studying Monday through
Thursday to sit back. relax and
enjoy five months of pure ex-
citement.

The start of college basket-
ball also means the never-say-
neyer attitude of college ath-
letes who play 40 minutes of
basketball hoping to nail the
last second shot we have seen
several times on ESPN and
CBS.

This season offers many
new and intriguing situations
to fans. I guess I don't need to
mention everybody's favorite
coach. but since I am somewhat
ofa Hoosier. I will. Bob Knight,
or Coach Knight as he wants to
be addressed by students. was
fired as head coach of Indiana
l'niyersity.

It will be an interesting five
months in Bloomington to see
how interim coach Mike Davis
does at the helm of Hoosier
land.

Roy Williams shocked the

nation and North Carolina
when he turned down his
dream job to coach the Tar
Heels after Bill (luthridge
called it quits. [guess there still
is loyalty to players in college
basketball. But having a loaded
team and four starters back
doesn‘t hurt much either.

John Calipari is a name
many UK fans know. Like for-
mer UK coach Rick Pitino. this
former Massachusetts coach
left his storied program for the
money and glamour of the
NBA.

Calipari is now back in the
college ranks with one of the
best recruiting classes in the
nation at Memphis. Without a
doubt. he will be heard from
again.

Every year. games show-
case some of the best teams and
intriguing match—ups that can‘t
be missed. This year is no ex-
ception. Two possible battles
that feature top programs are
just around the block. UK could
meet Kansas in the final of the
Coaches vs. Cancer Classic
Nov. 10 if both teams win their
openers. and a rematch of the
1996 preseason NIT final could
be relived if Indiana and Duke
meet in the Nov. 24 final.

You are now ready to enter
the world of college basketball

Illinois - Bill Self comes from
Tulsa with all five starters return-
ing, including three-pointspecial-

Indiana - With a new coach. a
new attitude and top freshman
Jared Jeffries, the Hoosiers are
young, quick and have nothing to
lose. Even without Bob Knight.

with tons of athleticism and
depth. They also picked up
Jason Parker, a monster inside
presence.

Maryland - All five starters
return, including three that could
be All-ACC: forwards Lonny Baxter
and Terence Morris and guard
Juan Dixon.

Final Four team from last year.

 

 

ASSOCIATED PRESS

PHOENIX Bob Brenly. a
broadcaster and former major
league catcher. was hired Mon-
day as manager of the Arizona
Diamondbacks and said the
team has enough talent to be in
the World Series next season.

Brenly. 46. signed a three-
year contract worth $2 million.
with a fourth year at the club’s
option.

“I was in New York last
week and I looked at those two
teams and went position by po-
sition." Brenly said. “There‘s
no reason why the Diamond-
backs couldn‘t be there next
year or maybe why they
shouldn't be there this year. I
think the team is that good."

()wner Jerry Colangelo.
who introduced Brenly at a
news conference in the Dia-
mondbacks' clubhouse. said he

likes his new manager's work
ethic. attitude and philosophy.

"He's the first one to say
that he doesn't have all the an-
swers." Colangelo said. “and I
find that refreshing. There
needs to be a little more fun in
this room. That‘s something we
were missing last season."

Brenly. TV analyst for the
Diamondbacks and the Fox net»
work. replaces Buck Showalter.
who was fired the day after the
season ended.

Brenly said he plans to sur-
round himself with an experi-
enced coaching staff. and he
said the veteran makeup of the
team will dictate his approach.

"I think you just have to let
them play.“ he said. ”We’re
very blessed to have a veteran
team here. a lot of guys who
have been through postseason
play before. a lot of guys who

have achieved a lot of personal
success in their own careers."

Sooners on top

Oklahoma is No. 1 for the
first time in 13 years and it was
almost unanimous.

With their 3TH victory
over Nebraska. the Sooners
soared to the top spot in The As-
sociated Press Top 25 poll Sun-
day.

()klahoma was last ranked
No. 1 after a 17-7 win over Ne‘
braska in the final game of the
1987 regular season. But the
Sooners were beaten by Miami
20-14 in the Orange Bowl and
ended up No. 3 in the final poll.

This time. the Sooners (7-0)
have a chance to hang on to No.
l a bit longer. with four games
remaining in the regular sea
son. followed by the Big 12 title
game and. possibly. another
trip to the Orange Bowl to play
for a national title.

Oklahoma received 69 of 70
firstplace votes and 1.749 points
from the sports writers and
broadcasters on the AP panel.
