On Nov. 7, more than 200 Lambda Chi Alpha chapters will participate in the sixth annual North American Food Drive, the largest single-day philanthropic act supported by a fraternity. The drive’s goal is to raise one million pounds of food to feed the hungry. Hit parade In the past. there has been no problem reaching this goal. Last year's total was 1,127,845 pounds. equivalent to more than 3,384,000 meals. The chapter that collects the most food will receive a $2.000 grant to sponsor members who will attend the 1999 Lambda Chi Alpha Leadership Seminar in Bowling Green. Ohio. Additional awards will be given to chapters for outstanding efforts in food col. lection and chapter improvement. UK’s chapter raised nearly 5,000 pounds last year, said James Wray. vice president of Lambda “It’s worth it, at the end of the day, seeing what a difference you made.” - Jeff Lenherger, accounting senior and Lamda Chi Alpha member Chi Alpha. Its goal this year is to reach 7,000 pounds. Nearly all of the 80 men in the chapter will be involved. This Saturday. Lambda Chi will go around the city and drop off collection bags provided by Kroger. along with a note ex- plaining what the drive is, and asking for donations of cans and dry goods. Wray said with only about 80 men, and only 20 to 2.3 cars, it is hard to cover all of liex ington. but they try to hit all they can. They also ask local business- es for support. While few compa nies actually donate food directly. a number of them donate money. which the fraternity uses to buy additional food. On the day of the drive. the members will collect the bags and deliver them to God‘s Pantry. a local charity that collects food for the hungry. “The cool thing about it (the drive) is at the end of the day, see- ing the huge truck. and seeing how much there is, and knowing what it's going for." said Jeff Lenberger, an accounting senior non: mm 1 KERNELSTAFF IIK's James Whales gets crunched by a Georgia defender. causlhg hlm to drop the ball late In the first half.

State Wideout Quentin McCord sprains ankle, out until season finale against Tennessee game By Aaron Sanderford SPORTSDAILY EDITOR The mental cost of a close home loss to Georgia Saturday was steep enough. but it seems fate had one last laugh in mind. Although UK (5-3 overall. 2-3). Southeastern Conference) won the physical battle in the trench- es. the list of wounded Wildcats gained some important names. The most devastating loss could be that of sophomore wide re- ceiver Quentin McCord. McCord severely sprained his ankle in the first half against the Bulldogs and never returned. The speedy counter- part of Craig Yeast is now side- lined for up to three weeks. head coach Hal Mumme said yesterday. and that could spell trouble. even for one of the na- tion‘s deepest receiving corps, Mumme said McCord will likely be replaced by one ofthree receivers: freshman Michael Beirne. who will move up from the junior varsity team; sopho- more Jermaine White. who lost playing time to Mcl‘ord. or so» nior Lance Mickelsen. who has seen his role diminish since last season. Mumme set no timetable for a decision. UK reserve cornerhack Kenneth Grant also appears to have re-broken the same hand that kept him out of action ear» her this season. he said. For fans holding their breath when two senior Wildcat offen- sive linemen came out of Saturday's game with in- juries. rest l’ easy. Mumme McCod said starters Jonas Liening and Jeremy Streck sustained only bad strains and bruises. Although they will probably be kept out of action this week in practice. Mumme said he expects both to be back next week. The news was not so good for reserve sophomore line- backer Gus Jacobs: Jacobs in- jured his knee against Georgia. and will probably have surgery soon to repair any damage. Another bit of bad news came yesterday when Mumme said the injured toe of UK fresh m.m safety David Johnson does not look to be healing properly. Although Johnson has sat out practice for more than a week. Mumme said the starter was hampered by an injury that might not heal this season and could keep him out of the lineup. Otherwise. Mumme's sec- ond look at l'K‘s 28-26 loss to Georgia proved quite positive. See INJURY on 4 > > Deep for "The Facts of Life" 0 l and “Different Strokes." 11 etS 25 i _ Source.

In the tapes, Gates discusses his fears that In- ternet software by rival Netscape Communica- tions Corp., coupled with a new programming language called Java that doesn't require Win- dows, threatens his lucrative Windows operating system.

He repeated the assertion yesterday on CNN‘s “Late Edition”: “Tiny Israel would have to protect itself against (Iraq’s) Saddam Hus- sein, against Iran, against all these assorted powers to our east, which would have more weaponry than NATO did at the height of the Cold War."

No agreements seem imminent, mostly because of the thorny issues involved in cooperating with a fierce competitor.

DiaInond does 11m LOS ANGELES — Neil Diamond is the flip- side of Celine Dion. His new double CD. The Movie Album: As Time Goes By, is a collection of famous film songs and features a version of Dion’s mega- hit “My Heart Will Go On" from Titanic. “I sang the male version," Diamond told The Boston Globe. “It’s a pretty song and it’s contemporary to what’s happening now.” The movie album is quite a departure from Dia- mond’s previous record, which was tinged with NCAA: Athletes OK to work .1 In PM commune mm UK quarterback Tim Couch and basketball forward Scott Padgett won’t be flip- ping burgers or asking, “Would you like fries with that?” anytime soon. But they could if they wanted to, thanks to the much- debated NCAA work policy rule that took effect Aug. 1. The new rule says college athletes can have the opportu- nity to earn extra cash by get- ting a job, and still play the sport they love. Full-scholar- ship athletes have never been able to work before, except during vacations. The rule has placed these athletes on a more even play‘ ing field with “ordinary” stu- dents, but student-athletes and their possible employers must follow a few guidelines first: Athletes cannot receive any additional pay for their public- ity status, employers cannot exploit the athletes via promo- tional stunts, employers must not pay athletes for work they do not perform and athletes must be treated just like any other employee — even those who can’t dunk. UK has established a pro- gram that helps student-ath- letes take advantage of the new regulation, while remain- ing in compliance with the NCAA guidelines. But many student-athletes aren’t taking advantage of this new program at all, said C.M. Newton, UK athletics director. He said it’s really too early to tell how the program will de- velop. “We’ve got very few stu- dent-athletes that are involved in work just because of the de- mands of academics and ath- letics combined,” Newton said. “We don’t have a lot of students who have opted to work at this point, but we’ll see how it goes.” The rule says full-scholar- ship athletes can now earn up to $2,000 during the academic year, not counting vacation pe- riods, said Alvis Johnson, as- sistant athletics director, who oversees the work program. Interested students must be in good academic standing and be enrolled in school for at least a year. The regulation came as a result of the NCAA seeing a need for some stu- dent-athletes to be able to have extra spending money, John- son said. The rule also states that partial-scholarship ath- letes can earn up to $2,000 above the cost of a full scholar- ship at their school, he said. “It's going real good so far,” Johnson said. “When the grades come out for the first se mester, we’ll know for sure. But right now, there will be some kids mature enough to handle it and some who are not.” All student-athletes who decide to work must be cleared by their coach, their parents, Bob Bradley, the director of the Center for Academic and Tutorial Ser- vices; Sandy Bell, the athlet‘ ics department's director for compliance; and by Johnson. If they can’t find a job on their own, the University, boosters or even the coaches can find one for them, But ultimately, UK must OK it. The students’ employers must also sign a release form allowing surprise checkups and periodic phone calls from Johnson and his assistant, Shannon Broughton. “I actually go by the work- place to check with their su- pervisors to see how they’re doing,” Broughton said. “We’ve gotten excellent com- ments so far.” So far, about 10 students have checked into the pro- gram and have completed all the paperwork.

Peter McPherson Thursday, attempting to obtain his signature on an affirmative action petition and discuss other minori- ty issues. At about 1:45 pm, more than 100 students crowded into the fourth floor board room in the Administration Building after attempting to meet McPherson in his office. McPherson addressed the group. composed main- ly of minorities, which had gone to his office after meeting at the rock on Farm Lane at 1 pm. for a discussion on affirmative action. Students asked McPherson to sign a pe- tition, which they plan to send to an affirmative action board in Califor- nia and possibly to Con- gress. After about an hour of heated discussion, which included shouts at McPherson of “Liar!" and “Sign the damn petition,” McPherson agreed to sign the document. “I do support affirma- tive action, I do not sup- port quotas — I want to be clear about that," McPherson said as he signed the petition. Nekesha Bell, a po- litical science sopho- more who helped orga- nize the event, said peo- pie from other universi- ties across the country, including the University of Michigan, University of Texas and University of California at Los An~ geles, had been walking out the last few days in support of affirmative action. Five people from dif- ferent campus groups or- ganized the demonstra— tion late Wednesday. Bell said a ban on af- firmative action would be detrimental not only to racial minorities, but to women and other mi- norities. Many students were upset about the time it took McPherson to sign the petition and com- plained that he didn’t answer their questions in a straightforward manner. “We wanted answers, we wanted things to be answered." Bell said. “What we got were, I be- lieve, empty promises, round-about answers, per- sonal narratives.” But kinesiology fresh- man Nicole Salazar said McPherson made a good attempt to communicate with the students. “I thought a couple of people were out of line," Salazar said. “I thought he was being respectful to us." Spanish sophomore Esmeralda Perez. a mem- ber of Movimiento Estudi- antil Xicano de Aztlan, said she thought McPher- son should have signed the petition early on. She referred to a pamphlet from the Office of Minority Student Af- fairs that states every student group on campus should be supported by MSU. “We want him to support this. too. He’s our president. If he truly believes (the pamphlet‘s contents) then he should have signed that in the first five minutes that we were here," Perez said. D.C. police crack down Georgetown students arrested in stinq operation on drinking THE HOTA WASHINGTON —— During September, D.C. Metropolitan police stepped up efforts against underage drinking in Georgetown, re- sulting in 53 arrests in a two-week period. The police targeted local bars, restaurants and liquor stores, as well as Georgetown house parties. One weekend, more than half of those arrested were Georgetown students. The arrests took place over the weekends of Sept. 18 and Sept. 25. Lt. Patrick Burke of the 2nd District Po- lice characterized the sweep as part of “a mas- sive underage anti-drinking campaign." During the sweep, Georgetown University students, local bartenders and merchants were arrested and jailed and might face fines of up to $1500, Burke said. Lt. Joseph Trippi, who is in charge of vice in the 2nd District, said, “We are hitting everything from ABC establishments (bars) to underage drinkers themselves." Trippi said, “The 2nd District has always taken underage drinking seriously" and that “the vice unit has always made a few arrests a month.” The police are releasing many of the de» tails now to “get out the message that we are cracking down and taking underage drinking seriously." he said. The majority of the arrests were minors, defined by law as people under 21, who were charged with underage drinking. During the weekend of Sept. 18 and 19, 12 of the 23 people arrested were Georgetown stu- dents. The police also arrested four people dur- ing the sweep for selling alcohol to minors. WV KERNEI.

In addition to about 30 scheduled teach-ins that took place, several professors and campus groups held on-the-spot teach-ins on topics ranging from the importance of diversi- ty to affirmative action. “Students have been walk- ing by, stopping, sitting and participating in the teach-ins," said Suzette Spencer, a gradu- ate student and member of the African American and Ethnic Studies Cooperative. “People are beginning to catch on and understand that the walkout was not just an empty gesture.” Ethnic Studies Professor Carlos Munoz held a teach-in with more than 200 students, and the School of Public Policy held a teach-in with nearly 150 students, Spencer said. After last Wednesday’s ral- ly on Sproul Plaza. many stu- dents initiated spontaneous teach-ins that lasted well into the night, Spencer added. “That’s what it's all about,” she said. “Centering the energy of the rally through dialogue. Lots of people don’t necessarily know what the issues are and the teach-ins are giving space for students to engage in mean- ingful dialogue." Preston Taylor, who just became interim ASUC presi- dent, was largely responsible for organizing the events and said he was very happy with the large turnout of students who came together to partici- pate and learn from the teach- ms. Noting the many students who walked past the teach-ins, Taylor said the decision to par- ticipate is left to each individ- ual student. “We’ve tried to make it inviting, but a lot of students may feel uncomfortable (in) ap- proaching a circle of people or may be too shy to come up and ask a question that has been on their minds," he said. Many students and profes- sors, including graduate stu- dent Chaitee Sengupta, said they felt indifferent or unclear of the walkout events. Sengupta said she felt the “anti-people and the pro-people” are out- numbered by the “ambivalent people.” “I think most people are in favor of affirmative action, but as far as the tactics go, we are ambivalent,” Sengupta said. Italian Studies Professor Kathryn Warrener, who sat studying a book near the teach- ins yesterday, said not every- body was fully aware of what was going on. “I honestly don’t know too much about it." she said. “But it looks like there's a lot of par- ticipation. It’s a big university. There could be a lot of students who don’t support it and are not participating." In spite of some ambiva- lent sentiment within the UC- Berkeley community, many professors said they recog- nized the importance of the walkout. Some professors said they did not take attendance for many of their classes on both days. COLONELS Continued from paqei He issued commissions to the soldiers in his regiment in the War of 1812.
