Jim Newberry's campaign
called for change. and Lexington
voters agreed.

Newberry defeated Mayor
Teresa Isaac with 63 percent of
the vote to become Lexington‘s
mayor-elect.

“I‘m glad the Lexington vot-
ers showed their support for us
and agreed that the city needed
change." Newberry said.

“This is an exciting turnout,
an exciting event and overall an
exciting night for a boring man
like me." he said.

In his acceptance speech,
Newberry discussed how he
would address the challenges fac—
ing Lexington.

“This is something we can‘t
handle all at once," Newberry
said. “But we will begin the heavy
lifting that is required to face the
challenges in the years to come."

He identified these challenges
as economic development in the
city. the “divided community"
shown in election results and the
ongoing issue of local ownership
of water.

Ncwberry said he will stand
behind the people's decision not
to buy the company that owns
Lexington‘s water but wouldn‘t
rule out looking at other possible
solutions.

“I wanted to see how this vote
turned out." Newberry said. “It is
important that we consider what
the majority want but also explore
other possibilities. At this point. I
can‘t say for sure what I will do."

The majority of his campaign
focused on plans to increase eco—
nomic development in Lexmgton

“She's on her way" were the
murmurs running through the
crowd of about 80 people await—
ing Teresa Isaac in the Colonial
Room of the Campbell House
last night.

Ten minutes later. at 7:26
p.m.. the applause began. and
Isaac, all smiles, walked to the
front of the room and conceded
the election for mayor. She has
been Lexington's mayor since
January 2003.

with only 37 percent of the vote.
Isaac thanked her family,
friends. and supporters. and said
she wished mayor—elect Jim
Newberry well.

Although she wasn't re-elect-
ed. Isaac looked back on her
term as mayor with pride and en—
couraged those around her to do
the same.

We re all here
we've all participated in democ-
racy. and we're all proud of what

someone in the crowd shouted.

"Our next mayorl" Amid the soft
laughter that followed. Isaac
consented that she plans to con-
tinue to serve Lexington "in
some capacity." though she‘s not
sure how just yet.

Isaac did say. however. that
her experience as mayor “will be
the linchpin of whatever I do
next.”

Isaac later comrrrentcd on the
similarity between the results of
the mayoral race and those of the

Broadcaster discusses career path

UK grad Torn Hammond shares journey from high school sports to Olympics

By Jonathan Smith
ismithOkykornoIcom

As the saying goes. some-
times it's better to be lucky
than good.

For Tom Hammond, it‘s not
entirely true, but his career
wouldn’t have taken off if it
weren’t for a few serendipitous
breaks.

As a part of the "How Do I
Become ..." lecture series host-
ed by the UK Alumni Associa-
tion last night in Memorial
Hall. Hammond. one of NBC ‘s
top sports anchors, talked
about his road to becoming one
of the industry's most accom-
plished journalists.

“In life. there will be nu~
merous opportunities that pre-
sent themselves.” Hammond
said."‘lt will be up to you to
identify those opportunities
and be prepared to take advan-
tage of them.“

Hammond graduated from
UK in 1967 with a degree in
animal science. He is a second—
generation Wildcat — his fa~
ther went to UK. and his
daughter followed him.

Hammond got his start in
the horse-racing business. With
a degree in animal science. his
initial interest in horse racing
came not with calling the play-
by-play of a race. but with the
care of the animals.

His big break came right
after college when someone at
the Daily Racing Form left the
publication to take a job in Mi-

ami. Hammond said he was
available for the job — which
paid only $35 a week — and
he started reading off race re-
sults on the Lexington radio
station WVLK for 15 minutes
a day.

After that. his career at
WVLK began to snowball.

He volunteered for a night-
ly sports show. for the news
broadcast. and for high-school
and football games.

He credited his work ethic
and his penchant to get "his
foot in the door“ at every op-
portunity he had as the main
reason for his success.

“It was my passion." Ham-
mond said. “A lot of it was for—
tunate circumstance. Some of it
was recognizing those opportu-
nities that they gave me and
taking advantage of them."

Now. as one of NBC's top
play-by-play
Hammond covers
sports from various
around the globe.

He has called all but one
Breeders Cup race since its in-
ception in 1984 and all Ken~
tucky Derbies since NBC start-
ed broadcasting the race in
2001. He has watched ama-
teurs become champions at
seven Olympics games. He
spends many Saturdays in the
fall calling Notre Dame foot-
ball games.

Not many broadcasters
have been able to go full-circle
as Hammond has.

“I count myself so fortu-
nate." Hammond said. “I was

given an opportunity. where
normally if you live in Lexing-
ton. you aren‘t given that op-
portunity.

Pete Friedrich. president of
the national UK Alumni Asso—
ciation. said Hammond‘s as-
cension from local Lexington
radio to national television
broadcasts showed the students
in the audience that achieving
success like that is possible.

“1 certainly hope that they
can truly believe that they can
follow in his footsteps.“
Friedrich said. “From a mentor
standpoint. seeing how he has
been able to develop his career.
you can just use it as a road

map. From that standpoint. cer-
tainly the broadcast majors, the
communications majors should
find that to be helpful to them."

Shane Harvey. a mining en-
gineering sophomore. said he
found inspiration in that Ham-
mond wasn‘t sure what career
path he wanted to take when he
graduated from UK but eventu-
ally discovered his calling.

“It‘s kind of good being a
college student. looking at
what you can become.‘ Harvey
said. “He was just like us. He
didn’t know what he wanted to
do whenever he was in college.
now he knows what he wants
to do and he did it."

Barbie dolls. Legos and champagne
glasses aren't things that are typically asso-
ciated with AIDS victims.

But each of these is being used to raise
awareness, help save lives and provide a
memorial for those who have lost theirs.

These items. along with various other
personal effects. make up the Threads of
Life AIDS Memorial Quilt. the largest ongo-
ing community arts project in the world. The
Student Activities Board is sponsoring the
display of this quilt in the Rasdall Gallery in
the Student Center until Nov. 10.

Emma Scharfenburger. the director of
the Rasdall Gallery, thinks it is important for
students and members of the community to
come and see the quilt because of how many
people the disease affects.

“There are over 42 million people living
with AIDS. and there are 2,400 people liv-
ing with AIDS in Kentucky." Scharfenburg—
er said. “There are so many people in our
state. country and world that are affected.
We need to be aware of this."

The initial idea for the quilt began in

rights activist Cleve Jones was planning an
annual gay-rights march. Scharfenburger
said. Jones learned that more than I .000 San
Franciscans had died from AIDS and asked
participants in the march to write the names
of deceased friends and loved ones on plac-
ards that were then pieced together to create
the first quilt.

The quilt is now approximately 1.3 mil-
lion square feet. the size of 275 NCAA bas—
ketball courts. and weighs more than 54
tons. according to SAB. Nearly 84.000
names appear on the quilt. representing
about l7.5 percent of all US. AIDS deaths.

Since the quilt was first assembled. more
than 15 million people have visited the quilt.
Scharfenburger said. One family traveled
more than five hours to see their son's block
on the quilt while it was on display at UK.
Scharfenburger said.

“This was the first time they had ever
seen it other than when it was in Washington
DC." said Scharfenburger.

Famous names on the quilt include Hall
of Fame tennis player Arthur Ashe. rap artist
Easy E and “Brady Bunch" star Robert
Reed.

The Memorial Ouilt is on display in the Student Center until Nov. 10.

entirety four times. the last time in Washing-
ton in 1996. Scharfenburger said. adding
that it‘s a great honor for the quilt to be at
UK.

The portion of the quilt in the Rasdall
Gallery displays 15 of the 1.920 panels that
were put together by victims‘ families and
friends. The panels include personal items
such as clothes. pictures and paintings.
Scharfenburger said.

"Each panel (represents) about 10 lives.

and that‘s about 150 people that have been
lost to the disease." Scharfenburger said.
“It's really humbling. It makes you realize
how powerful the disease is."

About half of the 5 million newly infect-
ed people each year are in the 15—24 age
group. which should make the quilt espe-
cially relevant to UK students. Scharfen—
burger said.

As a memorial and an educational tool.
the quilt is an uplifting response to the trag—
ic loss of human life due to a terrible dis-
ease. Scharfenburger said.

“This is really a once—in~a-lifetime op—
portunity." Scharfenburger said.

will help fraternities excel in the classroom We
provide retreats and workshops that are aimed to
help fraternities succeed academically.

Q. Does IFC deal with disciplinary issues?

X . No. the lFC judicial board covers inci-
dents that are under the lFC constitution. such
as having unregistered social events and recruit—
ment violations. lssues conceming misconduct
in a legal sense go to the Dean of Students or
the appropriate office to handle the situation.

Q. How do you influence the student body
and the Greek student body?

is a I see it as part of my role to set a good ex~
ample for the Greek community and a lot of
time this involves defending it. A lot of times
parents call with questions and concems about
their son joining a fratemity. and I try to explain
to them the benefits and rewards of being in a
fraternity.

My responsibility is to clear up the inconsis-
tencies in the letter and trying to put the truth
out there.

Q. What does lFC do with the Panhellenic
Council (the council that regulates sorority af-
fairs)?

 

ED MATTHEWS l STAFF
Jason Robinson hopes to narrow the gap between
Greek and non-Greek students as president of the
lnterfraternity Council. He is serving his first term as
presrdent of lFC

panding this fall.

Q. In what capacity are you pursuing this?

This is something we haven't fully dis-
cussed. We’re thinking about having a seminar
for this specific purpose.

Q. Is the WC involved with African-Ameri-
can fraternities on campus?

is The African-American fraternities and
sororities are involved in the National Panhel-
lenic Council. They are included in the risk-re—
duction seminar. the hazing information semi-
nar. and the sophomore leadership retreat.

Q . Who can join fraternities?

Any male student can join. Students don‘t
have to be any specific year in school. Upper—
classmen need to haw a 2.0 GPA to be eligible.

Q. What sorts of biases and/or stereotypes
about fraternities would you like to address?

There‘s a misconception that (ireek stu—

UK Hoops dominate Shawnee

Travis Waldron

After letting Northern Ken-
tucky hang around deep into its
first exhibition game. UK want-
ed to make sure it did not hap-
pen again against Shawnee
State.

The Cats began the game on
a 14-0 run and shot 55 percent
from the field on their way to a
9942 victory over Shawnee
State in their final exhibition
game.

“It was extremely important
to set the tone early." said
women’s basketball head coach
Mickie DeMoss. “That‘s what
we‘ve got to do, particularly at
home.“

Elliott agreed.

“It was important to play to
our level, and not droop down
to a weaker team‘s level." she
said.

UK took advantage of early
turnovers and poor shooting by
Shawnee State to put away the
Lady Bears early. Samantha
Mahoney scored 10 points in
the first half to help the Cats
sprint to a 49-22 halftime lead.

Mahoney and the Cats did-
n‘t let up after the half. UK
stretched its halftime lead to 33
points on an 8-2 run to begin
the second half. Mahoney
scored twice on the run to finish
with 14 points, tying Elliott for
the team lead.

Mahoney said she doesn't
feel pressure from the expecta-
tions of being the team‘s best
scorer.

“If that‘s what the team
calls for, then that‘s my role and
l have to fill it.“ the junior
guard said. “I‘m ready."

DeMoss said her team used
its final exhibition game to fine-
tune the defense before Friday‘s
regular season opener against
Washington State.

“We had a lot more energy
than we did the other night."
DeMoss said. “We got out in
the passing lanes and disrupted
them a little more."

The Cats used their size ad-
vantage to dominate the paint.
scoring 58 points inside. They
also controlled the boards. out-
rebounding Shawnee State 60.
25.

“I'll take (the rebounding
advantage) any night." DeMoss
said. "But l‘tn still not totally
convinced that we‘re committed
as a team to hit the boards hard
on every possession. We‘ll have
to wait and see."

The quick lead allowed
Kentucky to utilize the bench.

The Cats defeated the Bears 99-42 in their final exhibition game The Cats begin the regular seasor today

against Washington State.

Lydia Watkins and sophomore
Jenn‘e Jackson can step up.
"They are different players
than Eleia.“ DeMoss said. “We
could always depend on Eleia
to be physical. but .lenn‘e and
Lydia are both finesse. But they

both got sotne valuable minutes
tonight. and they‘re what we‘ve
got.“

Watkins was forced to
switch from guard to forward
when Roddy went down. birt
she has experience in the post.

"I played a little post in
high school. so it won‘t be too
hard. Watkins said after stor-
ing si.\' points and grabbing the
rebounds. “But it is another le\
el. so I‘m going to haw to step
riry game up."
