Clinton rallies
around Chicago crowd

CHICAGO — President Clinton made a
determined case for a second term Thursda
night in a climactic convention address that took
credit for blocking devastating GOP budget cuts
and romised an array of new help for poor and
mid le-class families. “Hope is back in America,”
Clinton declared.

Acce ting the Democratic presidential nomi—
natiOn or a second time, Clinton took credit for
the nation’s economy and pledged that, if reward—
ed with four more years in the White House, he
would balance the budget “in a way that preserves
Medicare, Medicaid, education ,and the environ-
ment.”

Clinton’s speech was the finale ofa Democratic
convention remarkable for its show of unity, and
he sounded the call to battle for a nine—week
showdown against Republican Bob Dole. While
Democrats were in an upbeat, confident mood,
the embarrassing resignation of Clinton’s top
campaign strategist, Dick Morris, distracted from
his convention celebration.

SAN FRANCISCO — What’ll it be? Chaste
romance, or explicit sex? Harmless conflict, or
wanton and gratuitous violence? The newest ver-

users be as nasty as they wanna be.

Internet Explorer 3.0 allows parents to decide
exactly how much sex and violence they — and
their children —— can see while on the Internet.

Users control four categories: violence, nudity,
sex, and language. They select settings in each

LaBelle injury brings trash
into SIIDIIIQIII IOI‘ Wildcats

By Rob Herbst
Antwan: Sports Editor

UK women's soccer freshman Jennifer
Mclylaster thought she would get accustomed
to NCAA soccer before feeling the pressure as
a starter. It would have been nice to ease her

into the situation.

That’s a nice fantasy, but reality
sets in this Sunday.

Because ofa knee injury to Kim
LaBelle, UK’s career leader in
points, McMaster’s first collegiate
game will be her first ever start as
the Cats take on North Carolina~
Greensboro at Cage Field Sunday

 

Not only does McMaster have to worry
about making an impression on the soccer
field, but she also has typical freshman worries.
Just like other freshmen on campus, the transi-
tion from high school to college is not simple.

“Oh God, it’s gonna be a big transition
because I came from a small high school,”

McMaster said.

at Commonwealth Stadium.

The game, despite its ever

The departure of 1600—yard

the U of L game last year but fell
victim to an ankle injury, opening
the door for Williams’ record-
breaking season.

which bodes poorly for UK. The

level of experience and seasoning,
something that UK is lacking.

Among the offensive line
starters, three are underclassmen.
However, in the event of an injury
to a starter, UK faces the prospect
of true freshmen at the back-ups.

“Our offensive line is young,”

Mike Drake. “But think the can

When Donnell Gordon takes the field at
Commonwealth Stadium tomorrow, it will be
the one- ear anniversary of his last game
wearing the blue and white of UK.

This time thou h, he’ll be wearing the
opposin colors of e Louisville Cardinals.

Gor on, a 5-foot-10 inch, 206-pound
junior, transferred to U ofL after the Cards’
13—10 victory in the opener of the 1995 sea-
son. At UK he was third-strin tailback
behind Ray McLaurin and Moe W1 liams.

In 1994, Gordon gained 99 yards on nine
carries in a 24-7 loss to Vanderbilt at Com-
monwealth Stadium. In two seasons in Lex-
ington, Gordon gained 315 yards on 52 car-
ries.’ His lone collegiate touchdown came

, against Kent in 1993.

At South Oldham High School, Gordon
was a consensus all-state selection and was
selected as the Kentucky Player of the Year by
Gatorade. He was also a finalist for the Ken-
tucky Mr. Football award.

According to Louisville coach Ron Coop-
er, Gordon will see playing time behind
starter Frank Moreau. Cooper said that Gor-
don has “earned the right to carry the foot-
ball” because of his practice habits and his
ability to hold on to the ball.

UK coach Bill Curry is also expecting to
see Gordon carry the ball against his former
teammates.

“He’s a big, tough, hard runner,” Curry
said of Gordon. “He’s a tremendous player.”

UK defensive tackle Harold Bell was dis—
