Excited about his winning ticket in a race at Keeneland on April 10, UK football coach Rich Brooks couldn’t contain himself. UK holds its annual
Blue-White scrimmage at 1 pm. Saturday at Commonwealth Stadium. It's Brooks' third as the head coach of the Cats.

comrrgrgivr

The odds have been stacked against Rich Brrxrks before.
After two disappointing seasons as the UK football coach. he sees the light at
the end of the tunnel. now that the program’s three-year probation is over.

Sensing the win. the under-
dog threw all of his might into
one punch.

A foolish mistake. he re
called.

Nearly 30 pounds lighter
under the trunks than his op
ponent. Rich Brooks found
himself in serious trouble in
the middle of the boxing ring.

“I went wailing in on a guy
that I thought I had tumbling.
and he had a roundhouse and
popped me." said the UK foot-
ball coach.

"He caught me with one
and damn near knocked me
out."

The tough-nosed competi-
tor gOt a little too greedy.
Brooks remembered of his
performance. But he recovered
to win the bout.

"I started swinging instead
of boxing.“ Brooks said. “I ﬁn—
ished off the match by box-

Although that bout hap
pened ages ago nearly 50
years ago at Nevada Union
High School in Grass Valley.
Calif. the lessons learned in

boxing still stick with Rich
Brooks.

“It teaches you to be disci-
plined." said Brooks. 63. “Some
of that has carried over."

Soaking up the boxing
knowledge of Ginger Jack
Snap. a former middleWeight
who coached at Nevada Union.
Brooks excelled.

in fact. he never lost.

At Oregon State. he was
the school-wide champion. tak-
ing on all challengers in the in-
tramural ranks. dispersing
them with ease.

Brooks hardly boasts his
boxing accolades. When talk-
ing about it. he just mutters a
few short responses. He can let
others do the talking for him.

“He was a great boxer."
said his daughter Kerri
Brooks. "He wasn‘t the biggest
guy or strongest guy. He was
feisty and scrappy."

So. he was not just an OK
ﬁghter?

Actually. he was close to
untouchable in between the
ropes.

“Blcxxiied?

No." Brooks

said. “But stunned and almost
KO'd? Yeah."

Aﬁer playing football at
Oregon State. he stayed on as a
graduate assistant coach. Sev-
eral fraternities asked him to
referee some bouts. And a few
brave souls wanted a piece of
Rich Brooks the boxer.

As usual. he won.

“Somebody challenged
him.“ said Karen Brooks. his
wife. “And he can't resist a
challenge."

Rebornhg from the W

When Rich Brooks became
the UK football coach in Dec.
2002. many called the job a
monumental challenge.

Some called him crazy

He hadn‘t coached a colle-
giate game since the 1994 sea-
son. when he took Oregon to
the Rose Bowl.

He hadn‘t coached at all in
two years. after stints in the
NFL as the head coach of the

coordinator of the Atlanta Pal.

Themes vary at springdance if concert

By Doug Scott
ne‘kt’kn‘icﬁkTm

A semester ﬁlled with
long hours and aching feet
culminates this weekend with
the UK Dance Ensemble‘s
spring concerts.

The concerts. to be per-
formed at the Singletary Cen-
ter for the Arts. will feature 14
pieces. all choreographed and
performed by the 31 members
of the ensemble.

“We have students in edu‘
cation. business. communica-
tions. kinesiology and health
promotion. and some in ﬁne
arts." said Rayma Beal. direc-
tor of the dance ensemble.

Preparation for this week‘
end's concerts began at the
end of January with audi-
tions and at least one re-

hearsal per week. In addition
to rehearsals. members of the
ensemble are required to take
three hours of technique
class every week.

Members who choreo
graph routines spend the en-
tire semester writing and re-
ﬁning choreography

“It takes forever. There's
an hour. sometimes longer. re
hearsal each week. Some
choreographers have the
moves. but some people wait
until they can see what looks
good on their dancers." said
Angie Galloway an elemen-
tary education junior. “For
me. it starts with the music. If
there‘s a song I really like. I
just start moving."

Dancers oﬂen build their
routine amund a theme. Ash-
ley Holbrook. an elementary

education senior and presi~
dent of the ensemble. entitled
her piece “Women: Nothing
But Trouble."

“It's about how women
tease and play. and how it gets
boys and men in trouble."
Holbrook said. "l like some-
thing that means something
not only to me. but to my
dancers, I understand that the
majority of the people in the
audience aren‘t dancers. I like
to make dances that are enter-
taining for the crowd but chal-
lenging for the dancers."

Secondary education
freshman Sarah Spunt based
her piece. entitled "Testimo
ny." around her faith.

“It‘s my testimony of peo
ple and places that have
helped me develop my faith in
being a Christian." Spunt

meant something to me and
some of the dancers that I'm
friends with."

Galloway and Holbrook
both agreed that their favorite
aspect of being in the ensem»

“I love dancing onstage. I
love to perform." Holbrook
said. “This semester is my
last semester: this year is a lit-

Hobson named
A & S senator

Tie broken at last night's 56 meeting;
one LCC Senate seat remains vacant

by Elizabeth Troutman
mt iter 7

The Student Government
College of Arts & Sciences
Senate tie between Ryan
Mabry and Monica Hobson
was broken at last night's
meeting.

80 Senate members elect-
ed Monica Hobson. a political
science junior. to the posi‘
tion. Both candidates were
given the opportunity to
speak their platform before
the group of about 30 sena-
tors.

Hobson said that Mabry. a
mathematics sophomore. was
tough competition. He is also
the baseball beat writer for
The Kentucky Kernel.

“We were both qualiﬁed
candidates.“ she said. “I
think I speak for both of us
when I say a resolution was
very good to hear."

Hobson said she thinks
the key to her victory was
support from former SG sen-
ators. including Allison
Hensley.

Disqualiﬁed president-
elect Will Nash attended the
meeting to support Hobson.

“A lot of people I ran with
had been senators." she said.
“It is really important to have
the support system from peo
ple who have been senators."

The two candidates tied
with 247 votes each during
the campus-wide election

March 30 and 31. Mabry said
most of the 80 members that
showed up for the meeting
last night were supporters of
Hobson.

“I think it is remarkable
that it ended in a tie." he
said.

“I did as well as I could
have. I was pleased with the
way the election turned out.
It was a good experience."

Mabry said he is not dis-
couraged by the loss and
plans to run for 80 next year.

The race for Lexington
Community College’s Senate
seats also ended in a six-way
tie among write-in candi-
dates.

Nash. who is also SG’s
communications director,
said the tie was broken when
only one of the six. Paul
Stringer. turned in a cam-
paign expenditure reports.

Candidates who do not
turn in reports are disquali-
ﬁed. he said.

No other information on
Stringer was available at
press time.

LCC has two Senate seats.
The Senate president — who
is usually chosen by the pres-
ident after the spring semes-
ter ﬁnishes — will nominate
a candidate in the fall. and
the Senate will then conﬁrm
the candidate.

Four plead guilty
in Transy book thefts

By Dariush Shafa

nimnucxr karma

Three UK students and one
Transylvania University stu-
dent pleaded guilty in federal
court yesterday to charges re
lated to the theft of rare art
items and books from the Spe
cial Collections Library at
Transylvania.

According to documents
from the US. District Attor-
ney's Oﬁ‘ice. UK students War-
ren C. Lipka. Eric J. Borsuk
and Charles '1‘. Allen II and
Transylvania student Spencer
W Reinhard each entered
guilty pleas to all charges.

The four were arrested on
Feb. 11 and charged with two
counts of robbery and conspir-
acy to commit robbery. one
count of conspiracy. theft of
major artwork. inter-state
transrxrrtation of stolen prop
erty and possession of stolen
property

“I haven't had any theft of
art cases before and our ofﬁce
has handled very few." said
David Marye. an assistant U.S.
district attorney who pmsecut-
ed this case. "It's been a very
interesting case."

Phone numbers for Bor-

suk. Allen and Spencer were
not available at press time.
Calls to Lipka were not re
turned.

On Dec. 17. 2004. prosecu-
tors said Lipka used a stun gun
on a Transylvania librarian.
and he and Borsuk bound the
librarian and stole the rare
items ~ including some
sketches made by naturalist
John J. Audubon. Allen drove
the getaway vehicle and Rein-
hard joined them when they
tried to sell the items to
Christies auction house in
New York City on Dec. 21. p0
lice said.

The four men will be sen-
tenced Sept. 9 and each could
face a maximum of 75 years in
prison. Marye said they could
serve less time because of
their decision to plead guilty
and notifying the US. District
Attorney‘s Ofﬁce before the
scheduled trial date of May 16.

“We’re of course hopeful
that we can get them less time
than what the government
wants." said Adele Brown. Lip
ka‘s attorney “It‘s really too
early to say“

There was no plea agree

WASHINGTON ~ The House
on Thursday approved a wide-
ranging energy bill that would
permit new drilling in Alaska and
give producers billions of dollars
of incentives.

The 1.000-page bill was ap-
proved by a vote of 249 to 183. af-
ter a spirited debate over a provi-
sion providing legal protections to
a gasoline additive linked to
drinking-water contamination.

Much of the legislation focus-
es on conventional sources of en-
ergy and provides relatively little
for conservation and alternative
forms of energy.

The measure calls for opening
Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife
Refuge to oil and gas develop-
ment. and alters the Clean Air Act
by giving localities whose pollut-
ed air comes from distant states
more time to meet national air
quality standards.

It would grant funding for re
search into oil and natural gas
drilling in the deep waters of the
Gulf of Mexico. at a cost as high
as $2 billion

At a time of surging energy
costs, including gasoline prices
well above $2 a gallon. supporters
said the legislation eventually
would help bring down prices at
the pump.

Opponents said it would not
moderate consumer prices and in-
stead would further inﬂate energy
companies' soaring profits.

The House provided far more
tax breaks to the oil and natural
gas industry and less to alterna-
tive energy and efficiency than
President George W. Bush had
proposed.

Even so. the president believes
the overall bill is "largely consis-
tent" with what he is seeking.
White House spokesman Scott Mc-
Clellan said.

The House~passed bill is simi-
lar to legislation that was ap-

proved by a House Senate confer-
ence committee in 2003.

That measure died as the re-
sult of a Senate filibuster.

Senate leaders this year are
trying to forge a bipartisan com~
promise.

A Senate bill has not been in-
troduced. but lawmakers said
they expect to take up the matter
soon.

Among provisions added to the
House bill this year are an exten-
sion of Daylight Savings Time by
two months and granting the fed-
eral government ultimate authori-
ty to determine where to locate
liquefied natural gas terminals
that receive imports by tanker.

The House defeated a provi-
sion requiring increased automo-
bile mileage and some other con-
servation measures.

Democrats forced a confronta-
tion over shielding the gasoline
additive methyl tertiary-butyl
ether. or MTBE. from defective-
product lawsuits. rekindling a dis-

pute that contributed to the un
raveling of the energy bill in 2003.

The additive. found to be leak-
ing from underground storage
tanks and contaminating ground-
water in communities nationwide.
has prompted a number of law—
suits and cleanup bills that threat-
en producers with billions of dol-
lars in penalties.

Large oil companies and other
producers of the additive have
sought protection from Congress.
saying the government had certi-
fied the additive as appropriate
for use in meeting federal clean
air standards.

Republican leaders originally
refused to allow the full House to
consider an amendment to strip
the provision from the bill.

But Rep. Lois Capps. D-Calif.,
successfully forced a vote by cit-
ing rules allowing floor amend-
ments to strip out provisions that
would impose “unfunded man-
dates" on states and localities.

Capps cited a report from the

House \ Alaskan oil dllnq es u

(‘ ongressional Budget Office that
the MTBE provision would create
such a mandate because it could
force governments to pay for
cleanup.

House Minority Leader Nancy
Pelosi. D-Calif.. said the provision
is a “disgraceful giveaway" that
was included at the behest of oil
companies and was championed
by Majority Leader Tom DeLay. R-
Texas.

“Not surprisingly. Tom DeLay
and House Republicans are happy
to oblige.” Pelosi said. She later
added: “Republicans aren’t even
giving MTBE polluters a slap on
the wrist. They are giving them a
pat on the back."

DeLay did not speak on the
floor. but other supporters of the
measure said MTBE deserves pro-
tection because of the govern-
ment's mandate to reduce air pol-
lution.

The effort to strip the provi-
sion from the bill failed by a vote
of 213 to 219.

ment. which means they have
more leeway in their sentenc-
ing. Because they pleaded
guilty. the severity of their
sentences will be reduced two
levels on the suggested guide
lines. Marye said.

Marye also made an oral
agreement to drop the severity
a third level and because they
agreed to plead almost a
month before trial.

“I think this puts them in a
posture to ask the court to be
as lenient as possible.“ Marye
said.

However. because the
guidelines are only suggested.
Marye said he could not say
what penalties the four could
face. The judge could still give
them more than the recom-
mended sentence, and the
judge still has to consider the
use of violence in the case,
Marye said.

“There's just no way to
know." Marye said.

Now the pleas are entered.
and Brown reﬂected on what
will happen to the four men.

.“I think it's tragic that four
intelligent men with promis-
ing futures would ﬁnd them-
selves in this position." Brown
said. “It‘s somewhat inexplica-
ble.”
