Counseling Center educating alcohol abusers
By CHRISTINE BOTTORFF
Contributing Writer
UK's Counseling and Testing
Center is working with state courts
to educate dntnken-driving offend-
ers on the hazards of drinking and
driving.
The center offers a drug and alco-
hol education program in which
first-time DUI offenders can partici-
pate as a part of their sentence. It is
the only university-based program
of its kind in the state.
Ray Larson. Commonwealth at-
torney, said that all first-time DUI
offenders have the opportunity to
reduce their driver’s license suspen-
sion from six months to 30 days by
completing a state-certified alcohol
University
offering test
on marriage
By JOETI'A LYNN SACK
Staff Writer
A test designed for couples who
are engaged or seriously consider-
ing marriage is now being offered
by the Family Studies Student As-
sociation.
The test, called PREParation for
Marriage, deals with topics that
couples can use in evaluating their
compatibility and readiness for mar-
riage.
Individuals also are encouraged
to use the test to judge their feelings
about marriage and commitment.
“As an individual, it allows you
to see how you fit into the norms,
allows you to see if you yourself
are ready for marriage," said Mar-
tha Slemp, president of FSSA. “If
you take it as a couple, you can see
if you two are compatible.”
The PREP-M is a questionnaire
that the couple fills out separately.
The answers are analyzed by a corn-
puter, and the graphs, correspond-
ing answers from the answer sheet
and a booklet explaining the results
are returned to the individual or
couple.
Slemp said the test was offered
last semester within the College of
Home Economics (now the College
of Environmental Sciences), and
participants found it so helpful that
FSSA decided to offer it campus-
wide.
“We never really had a project to
give to the students and community,
and we also wanted a fund-raiser,”
she said.
The PREP-M questionnaire book-
lets and answer sheets will be sold
Wednesday and Thursday at the
Student Center and Erikson Hall
from 9 am. to 4:30 pm.
The cost is $5 per person or $8
per couple.
The results will be given April 3
at 3:30 pm. in 316 Funkhouser
Building; April 4 at 7:30 pm. at
Funkhouser; or by appointment dur-
ing the week of April 1-5.
For an appointment, please call
the Department of Family Studies
at 257-7750.
Updated CATS bus accommodates more students
By NICK COMER
Staff Writer
UK’s Campus Area Transrt Sys-
tem is replacing its oldest bus with a
new one in an effon to provide safe,
convenient and comfortable trans-
portation for UK students, faculty
and staff.
The new vehicle, a 23-passenger
1991 model bus, will replace the
17-passenger bus, which the CATS
program used when it began in
1981.
Don Thomton, associate director
of Parking and Transportation at
UK.saidhehopesthenewbusalso
will help to raise awareness of the
CATS program among potential
passengers.
"Some students seem to think that
the bus is solely for the benefit of
disabled students or for char-
education program.
However, this sentence reduction
policy may not be true for much
longer because of recent efforts to
toughen punishments for DUI of-
fenders.
“The (Kentucky) legislature is
getting together now, and it may
change all of this,” said Todd War-
nick, a state-certified drug and alco-
hol counselor and a staff counselor
at the Counseling and Testing Cen-
ter.
UK’s program is one of many
state-certified programs for first-
time offenders. Larson said “a major
percentage" of DUI offenders
choose to attend the programs.
The program, however. is not lim-
ited to convicted DUI offenders,
Wamick said. UK students can take
advantage of the drug and alcohol
program, which also emphasizes
abuse prevention.
The UK program is based on a
national award-winning curriculum,
the “Lifestyle Risk Reduction Mod-
el." Describing the curriculum,
Wamick said: “It’s not just strictly
information, it’s not just strictly ed-
ucation. It doesn't use traditional
prevention methods. It’s quite a bit
different than other prevention pro—
grams.”
Wamick‘s education and preven-
tion program lasts nine hours and is
spread over a period of two days. It
is held one weekend a month in the

Auburn did not bring its entire team. which
resulted in mixed feelings for the Katfish.

The new
bus has sever-
al features
that makes it safer and more con-
venient for its passengers, he said.
The handicap lift, in the rear of
the bus, is safer for passengers in
wheelchairs, who will be closer to
the rear exit.
In addition, the bus has lock-
downs to prevent wheelchairs from
moving during transportation, and
there is more room for people to
maneuver the wheelchairs.

CATS offers hourly service from
6:30 to 9:30 pm, and it runs every

Another program CATS provtdes
for the University is its charter ser'

Parking and Transponation, said
any University department can char-
ter a CATS bus for transponation
within the state.
The service costs $28 per hour
with a two-hour minimum. The fee
includes driver and fuel.
Most of all, Thomton said he
wants people on campus to be
aware of the services that are availa-
ble to them and to take advantage of
them.

that would suit as just fine.“

STARKVILLE, Miss. —— It was a

been seen at Mississippi State in
nearly three decades.
After State’s 83-82 victory Satur-

that the upstart WATTS
Bulldogs -— picked for anywhere
from fifth to seventh in the Smith
eastem Conference — have a
chance to win their first league title
since 1963. That's also the only year
State has ever gone to the NCAA
Toumament.
And Saturday’s victory lifted
State within a half-game of the SEC
lead with four games left in the reg-
ular season, and according to UK
coach Rick Pitino, locked up an
NCAA invitation for the Bulldogs.
“We have a legit chance for the

had a chance to tie in the final 6 sec-

his team trailed
by two points,
drove for a lay-

“We have a

it every day,” said Pitino whose
team is known for its long—range
shooting. “It was just human error."
Mississippi State improved to 84

UK dropped to 9-3 in the confer-

Cameron Burns hit a free throw

Neither team could build more

UK tennis gearing up as men get ready for No. 4 Vols
Despite strong play Nelson,
14th-ranked Cats feel good about chances
By DENVER BROWN
Staff Writer
The UK men’s tennis team is rid-
ing high on a victory wave. but the
Cats may be in for a hurricane to-
money.
UK plays host to Southeastern
Conference rival and fourth-ranked
University of Tennessee at 7 pm. at
the Hilary J. Boone Tennis Center.
The Cats, ranked 14th nationally,
own a perfect 4-0 mark after im-
pressive outings last week. UK de-
feated 6th-ranked South Carolina
and 23rd—ranked Clemson, both on
the road.
“Tennessee is an outstanding
team. and we’re looking forward to
meeting them,” said head coach
Dennis Emery.
“We've played well the past
couple of weeks. and l hope we can
carry that momentum into this
match.”
The Volunteers were last year’s
NCAA runners-up and have two
All-Americans.
Although Tennessee has estab-
lished itself as a tennis powerhouse,
the Cats have won three of the last
five matches
against their ri-
vals to the
South.
With rankings
and reputation at
stake. the Cats
are geared up
for the match.
“The rivalry is
the main thing."
said senior lan
Skidmore.
“They beat us last year, and we
thought we had a good chance to
win. Rankings are important but
secondary to the rivalry."
Leading the charge for UK will
be Skidmore and junior John Yan-
cey.
Both Skidmore and Yancey com-
peted this weekend at the National
Indoor in Minneapolis. in singles.
Yancey lost in the first round to
ninth ranked David Kass of Michi-
gan (2-6, 627-6).
The tandem paired in doubles and
defeated the tournament's No. 4
seed from Southern California (4-6.
6-4, 7-5) on their way to a semi-
final berth.

SKIDMORE
Assistant Coach Duane Hultquist
was obvrously pleased with their
performance.
“It was a good weekend," he said.
“They were close to winning a na-
tional championship."
The team hopes to carry some of
this adrenaline into tomorrow's
match.
“I think the weekend adds a little
bit of confidence to the team." Yan-
cey said.
Yancey will play No. 1 singles
against Tennessee and will team
with Skidmore at No. 1 doubles.
The duo is ranked seventh national-
ly.
Players and coaches alike know
how important each point becomes
in a match of this caliber.
“Home court advantage is impor-
tant," Hultquist said.
“We haven't lost many indoor
matches at home."

the doubles pairings can be crucial

Davcy‘s roommate. freshman

simile from Lincoln. But Franklin
wasn‘t in Lincoln Saturday.
“Alex is really on the come back
trail." Franklin said when asked to
comment on the race that reportedly
featured the UK duo from down un-
der. “But I didn‘t run this weekend."
A phone call to Davey and Frank-

revealed that Franklin was home
nursing an inflamed tendon.
