UK students punt/7 way to San Antonio
to follow Final Four-bound l/Vz'ldmts

This weekend the road to San
Antonio will be paved in bltie and
white.

Last itight over four hundred stu—
dents waited in line to earn their
chance to embark on the 1,2000 mile
iotirney leadiitg them the Final Four.

Despite the 20-hour drive and a
lack of available accoinitiodatioits in
Sait ;\ntonio. a litte of students began
to form outside of memorial coliseum
at I put. yesterday.

“l'm‘ driving to Sait Antonio witlt
itiy friends and we have tto idea where
we are going to stay, we'll probably
either sleep in the car or a tent or
something." said Amanda 'l‘honipson,
an art studio freshman.

The litte for the student ticket lot—
tery slowly snaked it's way around the
colisetiitt and incltided just over fotir
hundred students by the time the coli—
setiiit opened its doors at 6:30 pm to
begin the lottery process.

“\Ye worked through spring break
so that we cotild afford to go to this
tournament. \Ye've been waitin itt
line since 1:30," said Paula York. a
biology senior.

York. who was first in line outside
the colisetim didn’t seem to mind that
her position in line didn't guarantee
her a good seat.

“My friends and I
know that the lottery is

totally random." said
Shirley Brown. a first
year medical student

waiting iit line with York.

doiuly yet iit correct sequence allows
students to sit with the people they
stood in line with and keeps students
from being forced to give up a good
seat to sit with their friends.

“I think it's great that
they decided to give otit the
lottery numbers in
sequences. I just wish they
ltad let its know ahead of

presidential candidates participated in .i debate
sponsored by the l’re—law Society. l’ro Legibus
Society and Pi Sigma .-\lpha.

.-\ttendance was less than stellar as the debate was
witnessed by only IT people. to of which were
either S( i.»\ candidates or S(.'.-\ officers.

Despite the poor attendance. leaders of the
sponsoring organizations took their chance at ask-
ing about issues that affect students itiost. :\mong
topics addressed were improvement ofthe Student
(lenter. the L'niversity Sttidies Program. coopera~
tion among different branches of sttideitt govern—
iitent and student apathy.

The candidates had different ideas. btit all
focused special attention on the central theme of
bringing S(l»\ back to the students. Kim (ilenn.
a mechanical engineering itinior. said the key to
bringiitg S(£:\ back to sttidents is providing ser»
vices that people cati see in .i tangible manner.

"This campus needs a governiiieitt that does
things people can actually see. This way. people
will know exactly what S(i'\ does to affect their
liyes." (llenn said. “One thing that cait be done is
creating a sttident—to—studcnt tised book sale. in
which students save money by selling and btiying
tltclt‘ tisctl books amongst one another."

Nate Brown. a communications itinior. said
bringing 5(,.\ back to students can be accom'
plished by going otit and meeting students on a
one~on—onc basis.

“I can talk to people. I want to go otit and meet
people myself and find otit exactly what they want
me to do as S(.'.\ president."

()ne of Brown‘s key ideas is connecting student
organi/ations with S(i.\ by going to iitcet three
different student organi/atioits a week. Brown said
going to meet members of many diverse student
organizations is the key to realizing the wants of
L'K‘s many special interest groups.
