UK student driver hits pedestrian

"According to (my stepson) there
were several lanes of stopped cars,”
said Paul J. Jaquith, Inman's stepfather.
“He was driving up the third lane, and
the pedestrian couldn’t see the car."

Inman could not be reached
Wednesday for comment.

Witnesses said Ryan was jaywalk-
ing. police said.

Ryan. who is a part-time student,
was leaving class at the time, said her
husband Conrey Ryan. 52.

She was left with minor injuries all
over her body and was taken to UK Hos-
pital.

“She‘s home and going to be okay."
Conrey Ryan said after spending four to
five hours with his wife at UK hospital
Tuesday night. “She was pretty beaten

up."
His wife was too
shaken up to answer
questions, he said
Wednesday night.
“She‘s got a big
bump on her head,
and cuts and stuff,"
said the couple's 11-
year-old daughter.
Megan.
Conrey Ryan
said she hasn't been able to tell him
much about the accident. ”She doesn't
remember a lot,” he said. “You go into
shock when a 4,000~pound vehicle hits
you."

Over the summer. the
telephones that had previous-
ly been provided to students
in dorms rooms at UK disap-
peared.

Many students. especially
incoming freshmen who were
not aware of the change in
policy. said they had to scram-
ble quickly either to purchase
a new one or secure a loaned
one from the front desk.

Even much of the staff
was not aware of what hap-
pened to the old phones.

“We've always supplied
phones to all students and
then all of a sudden. they
were just gone.“ said Commu-
nications Telephone Tech

since students have brought
individual phones.

Lauren Wilcox. a desk
clerk at Blazer hall. said she
noticed an increase in stu-
dents asking for telephones.

“I do know that some of
them are on loan, so I know
that they provide phones to
some people,“ she said.
Wilcox later found a bag full
of phones behind the desk.

Although many students
had already purchased their
own phones. they still did not
know that it was mandatory
to bring their own.

At both the Residence
Life and Housing pages on
UK‘s Web site it is still stated
that, “Each student room has
a private telephone."

Dustin Martin. “I guess it just
became too costly for th
school.“ ‘

Ben Crutcher. Vice Presi-
dent of Auxilliary Services.
said the change wasn‘t a cost
saving measure.

“After we talked to the
students about it we discov-
ered that a lot of students did-
n't use them and a lot of (the

phones) were in bad repair."
he said. “We just thought it
would be easier for students
to provide their own and then
those that did not have one
would be given one."

Students without a phone
can get one from the front
desk. “We‘ve given a lot of
them out. If a student ever
has a damaged phone we will

replace it right away." he said.
Although phones are no
longer provided to the stu-
dents, UK still fits the bills.
even those that surface from
non-compatibility issues.
Martin said the decision
to remove the phones may
cost even more money for the
school because telephone re-
pairs have greatlyhcreased

“I expected a phone to be
in the dorm but because they
weren‘t cordless I went and
bought another one with an
answering machine." said
Sarah Heckenkamp. a pre-
nursing freshman. “When I
got here I was dismayed to
find that there wasn't already
one on the wall."

Local company capitalizes

Let’s start at the back end ~ a 7-foot donkey tail and
rump beside the words. “Big Ass Fans."

This mural greets all travelers on Winchester Road.

Wild UK basketball fanatics may come to mind. but
sports enthusiasts will realize they were misguided once
they venture into Big Ass Fans‘ warehouse.

“It didn‘t hit me as a ceiling fan advertisement but
more for sport spectators." said Stacey Spears. a commu-

That’s right — “big ass" cooling devices. not “big ass"
spectators.

The company prides itself on being the only company
that builds large industrial fans. including many larger
than dorm rooms.

Big Ass Fans isn't a stranger to complaints because of
its name. The company even enjoys them. said Bill Buell.

Police in Romania on Wednesday arrested a 24-yearcld

. former student in connection with a computercrippling In-

ternet worm. according to a computer security company that
aided police.

The company. Bucharest-based BitDefender. identified
the student as Dan Dumitru Ciobanu, a 24-year-old graduate
of the Technical University of Iasi, in northeastern Roma-
nia.

Police detained Ciobanu in connection with a modified
and milder version of the Blaster worm, said Patrick Vicol, a
virus analyst at BitDefender. Dubbed MsBlast.F, it was un-
leashed on computers of the Technical University, Vicol said.

Last week, Minneapolis high school senior Jeffrey Par-
son, 18, was charged with letting loose a different variation of
the Blaster worm.

Authorities said Parson admitted during an interview
with FBI and Secret Service agents that he tinkered with the
original “Blaster" infection that made computers attack the
Microsoft Web site last month. Prosecutors said Parson’s
worm affected at least 7, 000 computers.

Congress considers ratings for football champions

ays into the new college football season Congress will
get a chance to hear from some of the sport's most powerful
figures about the best way to determine a national champion.

Some schools shut out from the automatic bids in the
Bowl Championship Series claim the system amounts to an
illegal monopoly. giving the biggest schools the best shot at
the lucrative bowl postseason.

But even one of the Bowl Championship Series’ most vo-
cal opponents wants Congress to stay out of the postseason
plan.

“Whatever issues may exist. it really should be worked
among the university presidents without the intervention of
Congress," said Tulane University’s president, Scott Cowen.
He founded an anti-BCS organization designed to get schools
such as Tulane a better shot at one of the bowl games.

Joining Cowen on the witness list at a House Judiciary
Committee hearing Thursday on the BCS were NCAA Presi-
dent Myles Brand. Big Ten Commissioner James Delany and
former pro quarterback Steve Young.

While no one expects legislation to result, both support-
ers and detractors of the bowl system were hoping to the best
public face possible on their arguments.

Cowen's Presidential Coalition for Athletic Reform and
BCS representatives are to meet in Chicago on Monday to
discuss the series‘ future. The current BCS contract expires
after the 2005 season and the 2006 bowl games.

BCS supporters say the system does not violate antitrust
trules because it is open to all schools through two at-large

Man executed for murdering abortion doctor

MIND“

STARKE, Fla. — Paul
Hill, a former minister who
said he murdered an abor-
tion doctor and his body-
guard to save the lives of un-
born babies, was executed
Wednesday by injection. He
was the first person put to
death in the United States for
anti-abortion violence.

Hill, 49, was condemned
for the July 29. 1994. shooting
deaths of Dr. John Bayard
Britton and his bodyguard.
retired Air Force Lt. Col.
James Herman Barrett, and
the wounding of Barrett's
wife outside the Ladies Cen-
ter in Pensacola.

Hill was pronounced
dead at 6:08 pm, Gov. Jeb
Bush’s office said.

Death penalty opponents
and others had urged Bush
to halt the execution. some of
them warning Hill’s death
would make him a martyr

and unleash more violence
against abortion clinics. The
governor said he would not
be “bullied” into stopping the
execution.

Florida abortion clinics
and police were on height-
ened alert for reprisals. Sev-
eral omcials connected to the
case received threatening let-
ters last week, accompanied
by rifle bullets.

“Paul Hill is a dangerous
psychopa said Marti
McKenzie, spokeswoman for
Dr. James S. Pendergrafi.
who runs clinics in Florida.

Outside Florida State
Prison. extra law enforce—
ment officers. explosives-
snifling dogs and undercover
officers were in place to pre-
vent protests from getting
out of hand. About 50 abor-
tion and death penalty foes
quickly left following the exe
cution as rain fell and light-
ing struck near the prison.

Hill. a former Presbyter-

ian minister, had final visits
with his wife and son, his
mother and father and two
sisters. His religious adviser
stayed with him until just be
fore his execution.

Since losing his automat-
ic appeals, Hill has not
fought his execution and in-
sisted up to the day before
his death that he would be
forgiven by God for killing to
save the unborn.

“I expect a great reward
in heaven." he said in an in-
terview Tuesday, during
which he was cheerful, ofien
smiling. “I am looking for-
ward to glory" Hill suggest-
ed others should take up his
violent cause.

Inspired by the 1993
shooting death of another
abortion doctor in Pensacola.
Hill purchased a new shot-
gun and went to a gun range
to practice. The morning of
the murder. as Britton and
the Barretts entered the clin-

ic parking lot. Hill shot
James Barrett in the head
and upper body. He then re-
loaded and fired again. hit-
ting Britton in the head and
arm. June Barrett was
wounded in the arm.

Hill put down the shot-
gun because he did not want
to get shot by police and
walked away. When officers
arrested him within minutes
without incident, he said, “I
know one thing. no innocent
babies are going to be killed
in that clinic today."

The killings of Britton
and Barrett happened during
a time of increased violence
at clinics nationwide. Anoth-
er abortion doctor had been
killed in Pensacola in 1993 by
Michael Griffin, who is serv-
ing a life sentence. Two rev
ceptionists were killed at
Boston-area abortion clinics
in 1994 by John Salvi, who
committed suicide in prison
two years later.

view mirror, said Jaquith,
who also owns the car, a 1992
Honda Civic.

His stepson “was pretty
distraught.” Jaquith said.

Inman was arrested in
December 2002 for driving
under the influence, accord-
ing to Lexington-Fayette Ur-

ban County Government's
Community Corrections
Web site.

The officer at the scene
of Tuesday’s accident did
not suspect Inman of drink-
ing, according to the police
report.

In November 2002. a UK
student was killed after
crossing South Limestone
Street and Cooper Drive.

Eric Vetter, 19, of
Louisville was hit by a car at
4:28 am. UK Police said his
blood alcohol level registered

at .251. Kentucky's legal lim-
it is .08.

The driver. Dustin Hat-
ton. 19. pled innocent on
charges of drunken driving.
Police were unable to deter-
mine Hatton’s blood alcohol
level at the accident.

Witnesses told police that
Vetter passed out in the turn
lane of Cooper Drive, and
they helped him stand up. He
then stumbled into South
Limestone, police said.

Walking and crossing
streets turns vital around a

college campus.

Pedestrians and drivers
need to use caution and com-
mon sense. especially in
dark or rainy weather, said
Cmdr. Travis Manley of UK
Police communications and
information services.

“Don’t jaywalk. stay to
cross walks and follow traffic
signals." Manley warned.
“During bad weather, you re-
ally want to stay in cross-
walks and wear bright cloth-
ing."

After tumultuous summer,

Stricklin glad to be

atUK

iil's assistant ath-
iotle director tor
media relations,
stands outside

Stricklie's first lay
on the lot at Ill
was Aue. 25.

Joint rosm l
mm snrr

By Steve lvey
SPORTSDAILY EDITOR

Sitting in an office with
nothing but brass hangers on
sky blue walls where framed
pictures once hung, Scott
Stricklin opened an envelope
postmarked Waco, Texas.

“This is the best piece of
mail I've gotten so far’ ’ he said

The envelope contained
pictures of his wife, Anne,
and their two-year—old daugh-
ter, Abigail. They're still at
home in Waco.

Until two weeks ago, he
was there too as the assistant
athletics director for commu-
nications and marketing at
Baylor University. Now, he
replaces departed Brooks
Downing as UK’s assistant
AD for media relations.

Stricklin was hired Aug.
11 and his first day at UK
was Aug. 25. He finished his
summer in Waco on Aug. 22.
It was a summer Stricklin
would just as soon forget.

Patrick Dennehy, a cen-

ter for Baylor’s basketball
team, turned up missing in
mid-June. Subsequently, for-
mer head coach Dave Bliss
and AD Tom Stanton re-
signed and Dennehy's for-
mer teammate, Carlton Dot-
son, was indicted Wednesday
for Dennehy’s murder.

“Baylor was a great
place to work,” Stricklin
said. “I liked living in Waco
and had great friends there.
But that’s a situation you
wouldn’t want anywhere. I
was glad to get away from it,
but that’s not why I took the
job here. UK was simply a
better opportunity.”

The situation surround-
ing Dennehy’s disappearance
may have prepared Stricklin
for the intense media atten-
tion UK athletics receives
year-round.

“At Baylor, it wasn’t just
SportsCenter covering the
story,” he said. “It was also
Good Morning America. "

At UK, Stricklin will
continue to work with the

media. He fields requests for
information and interviews.

“People in this state are
focused on the Wildcats 365
days a year.” he said. “I have
to try to make the athletes
and coaches as accessible as
possible to give the fans the
information they want. But
at the same time I have to try
not to dominate the athletes'
and coaches’ lives with it.”

Stricklin’s parents were
from Paintsville, Ky., but he
grew up in Jackson, Miss. He
did the high jump in high
school, “but not very high,”
and he was slow to admit he
was a cheerleader during his
senior year at Jackson Prep
High School.

“I get kidded quite a bit
for it, but I got to hang out

with all the popular girls,"

he said.

Before Baylor, he worked
at Tulane, Auburn and Mis-

sissippi State.

“Coming here

with
Auburn I was always im-
pressed at how beautiful the

campus was,” he said. “I can
see it still is, too. The facili~
ties are sparkling. And peo-
ple all over the NCAA talk
about what a beautiful town
Lexington is. And as for this
job, UK is as good as it gets.”

Stricklin said he hasn’t
had much time to get to
know the campus very well,
other than the route from his
office at Memorial Coliseum
to Commonwealth Stadium.
He just got his business
cards Wednesday.

“I feel like somebody
now,” he said.

Stricklin said his family
should be in Lexington in a
couple of weeks. They hope
to be settled into a rented
home before he and Anne
have their second child, due
around Halloween.

“It’s going well,” he said.
“Other than moving, plan-
ning for another child and
dealing with the U of L game
last week, things have been
pretty slow.”

Two-OB system still a go

By Jett Patterson
ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR

UK head coach Rich
Brooks may have gone back
to the drawing board, but
he isn’t erasing his ideas.

Alter the first play fea-
turing quarterbacks Jared
Lorenzen and Shane Boyd
on the field at the same
time resulted in a Boyd in-
terception, Brooks remains
confident that the two-QB
system will work.

“That’ll still be part of
it." Brooks said. “We just
need to execute better phys-
ically on some of the block-
ing things and that’ll make
it look a lot better.”

mum UPDATES

Antonio Hall was
cleared to practice on
Wednesday, but did not
practice because of a sore

neck, said UK Athletics Me-
dia Relations Director Tony
Neely. Hall is expected to re-
turn to practice today.

Hall was hit on the
head during a blocking drill
in Tuesday’s practice. He
was taken to the UK Chan-
dler Medical Center and re-
leased.

Derek Abney re-aggra-
vated a hamstring injury
Sunday that he originally
suffered in summer camp.
Brooks said that Abney will
be cautious with the injury,
but will be ready for Satur-
day’s game.

Dustin Williams
strained his neck and suf-
fered a slight joint injury on
his shoulder against U of L.
Brooks said Williams would
be “all right."

Deion Holts (concus-
sion) and Jeremiah Drob-
ney (bruised hip) are both

probable for Murray State.

“Basically, we turned a
guy flat loose on (UK punter
Sevin Sucurovic) on the in-
side and you can’t do that

Brooks said Sunday after
poor execution in the punt-
ing game caused nine
points off of a blocked punt
and fumbled snap.

THE BARFLY

KERNEL STA"

This Barfly stings like a bee

 

I can't say I
was the only one
with the “eye of
the tiger" Monday
night.

I had no inten-
tions of fighting —
I just wanted to
feel like Rocky.
Overwhelmed by
the urge to jump in
the ring. and
prompted by a cou-
ple of Rolling Rocks. I found myself
standing in the middle of the square
circle.

Decked out in full boxing gear. I
asked the referee if the mouth guard
he was trying to put in my mouth was
clean After two or three minutes of
playing dress-up in boxing pads. 1 real-
ized they didn‘t go well with high
heels and pearls.

My first adventure as the Barfly
had landed me at Varsity Blue. 3
sports bar/ pool hall/ night club popu-
lar among UK students. On this par-
ticular evening they were hosting
fight night‘- -an amateur boxing event
in which patrons some seemingly less
than sober. put on boxing gear and
knocked each other silly

While my desire to box lefi as fast
as it came. others weren‘t so timid
about getting a bloody nose.

Once the first pair of boxers. two
Varsity Blue bouncers. stepped into
the ring. the whole atmosphere
Changed, The gladiator-like scene set
before them amplified the cheers of
the crowd The DJ started spinning
angst-driven music. like hardcore rap,
AFDC and Marilyn Manson,

The lights. loud music and scanti-
ly clad women fueled a massive surge
of testosterone that seemed to seep

 

frdm the pores of every male present.
The scene was comparable to a half-
time locker room. I don't think I
would be wrong in thinking that
every guy in the bar was itching to
slap on some gloves and beat the crap
out of someone.

Onlookers sat at tables surround-
ing a professional-looking ring that
was set up at the far end of the bar.
They drank beer from “beer towers,"
aesthetically pleasing alternatives to
average bar pitchers. Each of these
$10 heavyweights holds 83 oz of
draught beer goodness.

I won’t be able to fight the urge to
return to Varsity Blue. Including
“fight night." Varsity Blue offers cre-
ative entertainment experiences, na-
tionally known bands and a place to
sit and watch the big game.

I had no intentions of

THE BARPLY RATES IT

I have taken various facets of the bar into con-
sideration and by using my Barfly superpowers, l
have devised a rating system that is not only help-
ful. but easy to swallow.

Bar Service

Friendly staff, the $10
credit card minimum was
very inconvenient

Bathrooms

Plan for long lines, don't
sit on the seats or put
your purse on the floor

Brio! Prices

Average: 52 or 53 bucks
for beer, more for mixed
drinks: occasional specials

Heals

Loud. but a good mix of
dance, hip-hop. rap and
i109

Recreation

For those not looking to
fight, pool tables, arcade
games and sports on TVs

Overall Rating
Not the place to go for a
low-key night, Definitely

the place to be it you're in
the mood to party!

RATING SYSTEM

'1 j: j: if ‘i Consider me a regular
" " " ‘ ' ls itla.m. already?
Cheers!

Call it an early night
