Down and out

Post-Spring
Break funk

PRIDAYKENTUCKY

His last
hoorah

Saul plays
with heart

When the semester
started. Spring Break

KERN E

seemed like it was
years away. It came
and, unfortunately,
left. Students have
nothing to look
forward to now.
Summer is on the way
but that means going
home and working
with only an occasional
spot of fun.

You‘re back at school and
after this ﬁrst week,
homework starts to
seem less important.
The surplus of sleep
you stored up over
break is running thin
and going to class at 8
am. is like trying to
pull teeth with a rusty
pair of pliers.

Can you escape the funk
that has you in its
grasp?

i say you can! You ask
how?

The trick is to be creative.

I offer the following
possible solutions.

Go to a party where you
don't know anyone and
use an alias (a person
can only endure being
known by the nine
digits in their Social
Security number for so
long).

Eat something exotic.
Don't allow yourself to
fall into the school-
food funk, or perhaps
buy the upgraded TV
dinner that comes with
the extra side and
dessert.

Make it a point to drive
everywhere this
weekend. This serves a
two-fold purpose.
First, it eliminates the
stress caused by
walking miles to class
every day, and second,
it helps to remove you
from the stale college
air.

Relive part of your Spring
Break. Buy a CD that
contains nothing but
sounds of the ocean.
and buy a really bright
light bulb for your
lamp. Rub some suntan
lotion on your nose.
play the CD and put
the light right by your
face. Note: 600-watt
halogen bulbs are not
toys! Handle them with
the intention of not
getting a tan!

And finally...

WASTE TIME! Don’t waste
it all, but waste
enough to make you
feel a little lazy.
Instead of starting
early on that big
paper, try practicing
your golf swing in the
dorm room.

Have fun this weekend
and try to get it out of
your system, but be
careful. I don‘t want to
find out that there has
been a strange string
of serious light bulb
burning incidents. With
a little creativity, a bit
of stupidity and a fair
amount of laziness, we
can make it through
this ever-traumatic
post-break depression.

Players nervous, excited about Pitino’s style

Butterﬂies: U of L's coach promises hard work

By John Foster
STAFF WRITER

(‘hange is in the air at the FM
versity of Louisville with the
hiring of Coach Rick Pitino the
(‘ardinals are looking expectantly
toward the future.

As Athletic Director Tom .Iu
rich said during Wednesday's
news conference. “The last six
months have been hell. Now we
have a glimpse of heaven."

Pitino continued the heavenly
metaphors when he said. "Now it's
time to take the (‘ardinals back to
Pri lvideiice "

Yet they are being cautious iii
their optimism.

After this year‘s I219 record.
Pitino and his players admit there
is a long way to go

Pitino stated his ﬁrst line of
business is going to be to "turn
around the players currently
here.”

.Iuiiior guard Reese Gaines
said he and the rest of his team
are going to have to do a lot of
conditioning to prepare for Piti-
no‘s tip-tempo style of play. much
more conditioning than required
under former I' of L coach Denny
(‘runi He also dispelled rumors
that he is considering going pro
with expectations of a breakout
year next season.

“The players think they know
what's in store for them. No they
don‘t." Pitino said.

His next priority will be to hit
the recruiting trail hard.

Pitino inher-
its a program Slm~
ilar to the FR pro
gram that had a
13—19 record the
year before he
came. In his third
season he took the
Wildcats to the ﬁ
nal four
1' of I. players
are hoping for the same sort of
tum around. Junior forward Hajj
Turner predicted that Pitino will
take I' of I. "back to the top ‘25
every year."

Freshman guard Bryant
Northern echoed the uncertainty
expressed by many of the players
saying he is “so nervous." He
said that he is going to have to
work much harder in order to
earn playing time over the top-
notch recrutts he expects Pitino
to bring in.

That's not to say he isn't
excited

“How many guys get to play
for not one. but two championship
coaches in their lifetime. I get but-
tertTies just thinking about it." he
said.
