SAB’s fate remains unresolved after meeting

56, SAB, legal cousel, administrators meet;
trustees could decide issue later this month

By Tricia McKenny

THE KENTUCKY «mun

Leaders of Student Govern-
ment and Student Activities Board
met with UK administrators Fri-
day to discuss the ongoing debate
over Referendum One. but the par—
ties could not reach a solution.

The referendum asked student
voters in April if they would “sup-
port popular elections for execu-
tive officers of student organiza-
tions that receive the student ac-
tivities fee." The measure passed
by a 1.614 to 571 vote.

On Sept. 29. SG unanimously
approved a new “skeleton" consti~

lar election of SAB leaders. Cur:
rently. an internal board of direc-
tors selects SAB's president and
vice president.

Friday's meeting . which fea-
tured 80 President Rachel Watts,
SG Sen. Braphus Kaalund and
SAB President Lindsay Crelly
was meant to be “a chance to have
a discussion about the issue and
hopefully come to an agreement."
said Pat Terrell, vice president of
Student Affairs. UK President Lee
Todd asked Terrell to represent
the administration‘s opinion
about the issue.

Crelly expressed some frustra-
tion that the groups didn‘t resolve

“We have spent so mtich time
on the referendum and haven't
gotten anywhere." she said. “It is
taking away from our purpose as
SAB."

Barbara Jones. UK's general le-
gal counsel. thought the meeting
was worthwhile.

“It was a good opportunity for
everyone involved to discuss the
issue." Jones said. "That hadn't
been done before."

Several other UK administra
tors. such as Dean of Students Vic-
tor Hazard. also attended the
meeting.

The two sides “agreed to dis-
agree.“ Hazard said.

"I don‘t think a matter like this
can ever be resolved in a way that
makes everyone happy." he said.

Kaalund said he doesn't fore-
see a quick resolution to the issue.

“In a way, it seems we are at an

ttttion for SAB that requires popu-

offers catch-up time

By Obbie Todd

in the 11 days of UK's new
winter intersession. students
can earn the same number of
credits per class as they would
in an entire semester.

The purpose of the winter
intersession , which offers 16
classes is for students to
concentrate on a single area of
study that interests them.

The intersession gives stu-
dents the chance to explore
other avenues. said Phil
Greasley. dean of university
extension.

These new classes are a
part of UK‘s new programs
committed to creating oppor-
tunities for a thorough and
speedy graduation. Greasley
said.

But the real benefit is the
intense study involved in the
winter intersession class.
(lreasley said.

“These classes can provide
a very positive experience if
you let them." (ireasley said.

The program. copied from
schools like Centre (‘ollege in
Danville. is “short but stout."
Greasley said.

Daniel Frank. a philoso
phy professor. will be leading
a class called “Philosophy:
Morality and Society"

The course will consist of
two hours of class in the
morning followed by a lunch
break. followed by two more
hours of class.

"Teachers are also hu-
man.“ Frank said. "We'll take
a break to freshen up."

Frank said the class is
very student-oriented. with
maximum interaction among
the students and professor

impasse." Kaaltind said. “They

don't want elected officials and we
do.

”Unfortunately. I don't think I
am going to change to their side.
and they won't change to mine."
he said.

Kaalund expressed an interest
in taking the issue to the Student
Affairs committee of the Board of
Trustees.

"The question facing the board
isn‘t whether S(} has the authority
to decide" how SAB leaders are
elected. Watts said. “The board is
going to look at what they think
SAB should do. whether they
should have elections or not."

Russ Williams. a member of
the Board of Trustees' Student Af-
fairs committee. said he doesn't
think the board should take up the
issue.

“It‘s an administrative deci»
sion that Vice President Terrell res
ally needs to take care of."

A DAY AT THE RACES

Williams said. “Beyond that. it's
the provost's or president‘s deci.
sion."

Williams said the board would
take action on the issue if the ad-
ministration asked it to. btit he
said the group “wouldn't unilater-
ally act on it."

If the Board of Trustees asked
Terrell for a recommendation.
Terrell said she would make the
same recommendation that she
made to SC in late September.

“The president of the universie
ty should appoint a committee to
review internal structures and or-
ganizational effectiveness of SG.
SAB. WRFI. and any other organi-
zations that receive money from
student fees." Terrell said.

The next time the Board of
Trustees will meet is Oct. 26.

Alabama capitalizes
on UK's second-half

mistakes with four

straight touchdowns

By Jeff Patterson
tar KENTUCKY KERNEL

Mike Archer roamed UK‘s side-
line telling his defense what to ex-
pect.

Alabama was going to rtin the
ball at UK. Every play.

it didn't matter.

Yet again. the (‘ats couldn't tack-
le.

Couldn‘t hold on to the football.

And couldn‘t get their defense off
the field.

The story was all too familiar in
the (‘ats' 45-17 loss to the Crimson
Title Saturday in front of 65.482 fans
at Commonwealth Stadium.

Alabama (4-2. 2-2 Southeastern
(‘onference) used four running backs
extensively to pound UK (1-4. 0-11
SE(‘) and Wear down the clock.

The (‘rimson Tide rushed 6:1
times for 304 yards and controlled the
ball for a whopping 41:05. Alabama
attempted it passes

"We knew that's what they were
going to do." said Archer. liK's defen-
sive coordinator.

downs. and senior Ray Hudson. who

All day long. the Tide bounced off
missed tackles,

The Tide jumped oitt Isl-l) early in
the second quarter after starting
from inside their leyard line. Darby
and Hudson punished UK for more
than seven minutes on the drin‘

“When you‘re out on the field as
much as that. it's nobody's fault but
yours," said l’K senior defensive end
Vincent “Sweet Pea" Burns "You
have to make tackles You have to
make plays to get yourself off the
field.

“That’s what has killed our do
fense all year."

But as always. liK found itself in

the game early in the second half

With ‘Biinia swarming in. senior
quarterback Shane Boyd threw a
screen pass to senior tight end .lere
iniali Drobiiey Drobncy had three
blockers and went untouched for the
38-yard score

“l was timing him." said I'K head
coach Rich Brooks “It took him a
long time for him to get there. but he
took It into the end zone "

All of a sudden. UK was back in

ders combined to embarrass

the midpoint of the fourth
quaitcr.

Here we go again. the
same sad end to another Sat
urday in the land of the Big
Blue.

The 45-17 loss left Brooks
shaking his head.

“I wouldn't say I'm dis-
couraged; l‘m just very irri-
tated that we get chances in
games to do something spe-
cial." Brooks said. "We battle
anti we battle and then we do

"As an example on Thurs-

sprains his ankle. so that kind
of tells you where otir luck
has been this year." said UK
defensive coordinator Mike
Archer. “You know. so what"
You've got to deal With it.
That's life "

It the (‘ats are to turn this
(or any i season around. they
have to stop thinking. “Here

"We were in the game 17»
l l." Archer said. "VV‘VC got a
chance if we make a play. btit
we didn't. so it becomes very
much a mental thing. and We
have to overcome that."

UK has not made such a
play in its last nine games.
eight of which have been loss-
es.

Here we go again.

Something has to change
the ('ats' mentality: Playing
more of UK's talented fresh-
man class may spark some
changes; at least they have
not been here long enough to
expect the worst from every
game.

Bmoks cannot seem to
make these Cats believe in
anything. but judging from
his slumped stance. he's hav-
ing a hard time believing in
much. too.

Make them kick it again. Brooks
said.

"Our thought process was that
we thought we could make a big
play." Brooks said.

Well. they came close.

Senior Bo Freeland stood ready
to punt inside the Bil-yard line. Then
UK junior Andrew Hopewell made
his move to block it

But Freeland didn‘t kick it. He
took off with it for 31% yards and the
first down.

Had anyone made the tackle. l'K
would have been in prime position
to take the lead. or at least tie it up

The (‘ats' defense would force a
punt eight plays later.

”Then we do the breakdown
things." Brooks said. “Once it start-
ed. it was like a landslide.“

The ('ats‘ laundry list of melt

make the Taiwan community
in central Kentucky even
stronger, with events like the
Double Ten celebration" said

Performance Group pre-
formed in Lexington Pan
said the sponsors understand
this rare cultural and educa-
tional opportunity and have
been working since May to
bring this celebration perfor-
mance to Lexington.

"For the past 10 years,
performances were annually
held in Cincinnati which you
can imagine is not conve-
nient for us Taiwan students
to attend.“ Li said. “The TSA
expressed. asked, applied and
invited the performance
group to come to UK. With
the help of the TAA we final-
ly heard good news.

“TSA feels honored mak-
ing the invitation and views
it as a great opportunity for
UK folks and Lexington,"
said Li. “This performance is
a goodwill mission from Tai-
wan to celebrate the holiday
and we welcome everyone to
come."

the dozen others on stage
were overshadowed by her
captivating presence.

As Talthybius's messages
become increasingly horri-
ble. Andromache (Jenny
Fitzpatrick) is forced to hand

over her young son
Astyanax. The Spartans are
wary of the only son left in
Troy and of what he may
grow up to do. The separa-
tion of mother and son is a
heart-wrenching scene into
which Fitzpatrick pours her
entire being.

While Talthybius acts as
the bearer of about the worst
news possible. he stands be-
hind the idea of “don‘t shoot
the messenger." McIntyre

stands firm in the role and
plays it with just the right
amount of detachment.

The best plays are those
that provoke thought and
provide a topic for discus-
sion. Go see The Trojan
Women. go out to dinner, and
then do something typical
Americans tend to avoid —
have an in-depth conversa-
tion.

Chandler should embrace debate

In a time when political activism
seems to be at a peak. some political
candidates are shirking their public
duty. hiding in the shadows from voters
who want to know where they stand.

Case in point: Democratic Rep. Ben .

Chandler, incumbent in the 6th district
Congressional race. declines to answer
voters‘ calls to debate.

After numerous phone calls to
Chandler‘s press secretary and catn-
paign manager. the Kernel has received
no word that he would be attending the
KerneL”WRFL-FM 6th District Congres-
sional Debate this Wednesday.

While the other three candidates
have responded —- state Sen. Tom Bu-
ford. Constitution Party candidate Sta-
cy Abner and Libertarian candidate
Mark Galley Chandler seems to have
better things to do than answer voters‘
questions.

The Kernel WRFL debate wouldn't
be his first no-show.

Chandler was conspicuously absent

from the debate hosted by the League of
Women Voters Oct. 2 at the Central Li-
brary downtown.

Lexington residents deserve better.
Students deserve better.

This act by Chandler follows a long
line of other state candidate absences
at debates.

Democratic 3rd Congressional dis
trict candidate Tony Miller was miss-
ing at a Louisville Rotary (‘lub debate
against Republican incumbent Anne
Northup last month.

US. Sen. Jim Bunning. who turned
down Kentucky Educational Televi-
sion‘s debate invitation. finally came
out of hiding and debated Dan Mongia~
rdo Oct. 11. But this was only after
Mongiardo agreed to Bunning‘s terms

no studio audience and no use of de-
bate footage in campaign advertise-
ments. among others.

It's times like these that really show
voters where candidates‘ hearts and
wishes really lie.

These absences separate the brave
and eager candidates from the cowards.

Sure. debates are stressful and open
a candidate up to possible ridicule and
refutability. but that's the point. We're
electing these officials to a position
where they must take stances. confront
conflicts of opinion and. most impor-
tantly: answer to their constituents.

As President Bush said in the first
presidential debate. “It‘s hard work."
Where else are we going to see how
these candidates stack up before we
choose them? A sound byte? An attack
ad? A Web site?

But in all honesty. we‘ve seen how
they stack up. Silence is not a lack of a
stance; silence often speaks the loudest.
If the candidates won’t come to the call
of voters in a debate. how will we know
they will come to our call if they are
elected?

This repeated arrogance and weak-
ness is a message to voters. We just
hope voters won't forget this on Nov. 2.
