\Vinter is definitely not for the
birds, but sotne seem to think UK’s
campus is a great place to get out of
the cold.

The Physical Plant Division’s
Grounds Departtnent has been firing
flare guns around campus at dusk to
discourage the birds front sleeping on
perches above campus grounds.

“When it gets cold, (the birds) con-
gregate in these roosting areas to pro-
tect themselves from the cold," says
(luy Mussey, PPD's grounds supervi-
sor.

The roosting areas are, in general,
any place that offers tall trees sur-

rounded by buildings. This year sonte
of the problem areas have been North
Campus residence halls, the Chandler
Medical Center and Sorority Circle
alon ' Columbia Avenue.

E za Abney, a PPD senior pest conr
trol operator, said the attempt to get
rid of the birds at the Kirwan-Bland-
ing Complex last week failed.

“Once they settled in. they
wouldn't leave," Abney said. “\Ve tried
everything ~— flares, hortts and big
boom bangers. “'e are completely out
of ammunition, and I don’t think we
need to be doing something that obvi—
ously doesn't work."

However, Jack Blanton, vice chan—
cellor for administration, said some<
thing has to be done.

 
  
  

“\\'e have been through this many
times before," Blanton said.

“\\'e are trying to get them to get
the heck out of here because they drop
stuff."

Mussey said the itoise created by
attempts to scare the birds isn‘t a nui-
sance.

“\Ye always contact the police ser‘
vices," he said.

“It's usually done at dusk, so there
shouldn‘t be a problem with people
sleeping."

But some students aren't sure
whether the greater inconvenience is
the birds or the noise involved in get-
ting rid oftheiti.

“I don't like the birds because the
birds are really gross, but the noise

(from the attempts to make them
leave) is really obnoxious," said l.aura
Bulfer, an undeclared freshman who
lives in Kirwan l\'.

“I think they could find a better way
to scare the birds off," said Stephanie
lloskins, a (Clt‘COIIInlUnlL‘LIIIttlh fresh«
man who also lives in Kirwan lV.

lloskins said she was irritated when
the grounds crew shot flares last week
around her residence ball as she was
trying to study for inidternt exams.

“You cart hear (the flares). lt shakes
the whole dorm," she said.

David .Meyer offered a new idea for
taking care ofthe problem

“I think they need to invest in a
good shotgun and kill all the birds."

Juggling School and Sport: A look at true student-athletes at UK

GRADE-A

VAcademic All—American Mark Pope

exemplifies the term of student-athlete

By Brian Bennett
Editor in Chief

he first class of the semester had just ended
when a student — a rather tall one with a buzz
cut —- had a question forJoan Blythe.

“He said, ‘I’m a student—athlete, and these are the
classes I’ll have to miss this semester. Is that all right
with you?’ " recalled Blythe, an English professor.

This satne student could have easily said “I‘m a
basketball player." But that would be too narrow a
definition ofMark Pope. He is indeed a student-ath~
lete, in fact an exemplification of the word.

To suggest Pope is a typical student—athlete,
though, would be a rross misstatement. Pope excels
not only on the basketball court —— where he leads
the Cats itt rebounding as the backup center —— but
in the classroom, where his 3.69 GPA as an English
tnajor translates into Academic All-American.

UK coach Rick Pitino calls Pope “the tnost
unusual player I’ve coached since I've been in this

business." A devout Monnon who enjoys playin r the
piano in his spare time and aspires to attent law
school, the junior from Bellevue, Wash, is far from
the norm and especially askew frmn the stereotype
of“the dumb jock."

Still, a peek into a week of Mark Pope’s life cart
give you sotne idea ofwhat it takes to be a stellar stu-
dent~athlete.

Monday

The day begins with individual instruction at 9
a.m. This consists of working on low-post moves
and three-pointers for an hour with an assistant
coach and another player. Pope lumbers out of bed
around 8:30, grabs an Egg McMuffin front McDon—

After class, Pope buys a sandwich at the Student
Center. \Vhile eating, he begins to “think through
some things" about a paper he must turn in tomor
row for his Milton class — the one taught by Blythe.

Milton is Pope's favorite subject this semester; be
perks up when talking about it. And it shows in his
work. On the first paper of the semester, Pope
received the highest grade in the class.

“He‘s a very outstanding student, one of the class
leaders," Blythe said. “He's always very prepared.
He's always read the assignments."

After lunch, it's time for practice. Although prac-
tice doesn't begin until 2:30, players must be there at
1:45 to get taped and meet the media.

“That's the peculiar thing about athletics a
there’s so much down time," said Pope. “You always

Hopping out of bed about 9: 15 a.m., Pope hustles
to his ”‘30 class.

“I don‘t really change clothes that much," he says.
“I just wear what I‘m wearing."

shirt overtop a I'K 'Ilshirt, gray sweatpants and san»
dals with socks. You believe him.)

Some even asked UK legal counsel
Richard Plymale to investigate if the

the evaluations to students. Cox said

some opposition.

Cox said.
