Senate council OKs health plan

Proposal to offer health-care coverage to UK's
graduate employees goes to full senate in 1999

By John Wampler
STA" WRlTER

After undergoing some
changes. the proposal to provide
health care coverage for graduate
students was accepted by the Uni-
versity Senate Council for sub-
mission to the University Senate
next December.

The revised version of the
proposal provides 100 percent in-
dividual health care coverage to
all full-time teaching assistants
(TAs). research assistants (RAs).
graduate assistants (GAS). target
opportunity research assistants
(TRAS) and fellows.

Their spouses and/0r depen-
dents would also have the option
of joining the UK health plans at
the subsidized index rates.

A large problem that faces
graduate students who work
full-time for the University in
these positions is that when they
sign their contract with UK.
they agree not to work any
where else.

“To receive health coverage.
you must be part of a group.
When TAs. RAs and fellows sign
their contract. they cannot be-
long to any other group (other
than UK). Because of this. the

University is obligated to provide
this coverage." said Joe Schuler.
the Student Government Associa-
tion‘s senator for the College of
Social Work and a member of the
senate council.

When Susan Mains. SGA sen-
ator for UK‘s Graduate School
and a senate council member. put
together this proposal. part of her
research was getting input from
various graduate students.

Among their concerns were
the high costs of paying out of
pocket for medical expenses not
covered by the undergraduate
student plan (such as allergy
medications). and having to pay
for outside insurance for spouses
and dependents

"A lot of graduate students

feel that they're just here because
they‘re cheap labor." Mains said.

“Giving them equal health
coverage (as full-time faculty)
sends such a strong message of
support in that they're valued
not just because of their teach
ing and research. but as con-
tributors towards the broadcr
character and dynamism of
UK."

Mains found that varioUS
other schools. including a num-
ber of I'K‘s benchmark schools.
did offer health care benefits to
their graduate students.

Roy Moore. senate council
chair. said the past argument
against such a proposal has been
that there wasn't the funding. But
he said that equal healthcare
coverage should be a priority

You’ve got to be kidding

Pretty boys 'N Sync spoil the spirit of Christmas
with its new album of classic melodies

B_y Clark Case
ASSISTANl DlALOGUE EDITOR

 

There‘s nothing worse than
- - being sick at Christmas. right?
7 - ' ' The great food. the lights
‘ that chase each other. the fami-
ly members » - all these things
are beautiful aspects of the
coolest time of the year.

Cnless you are sick!
There's nothing like a tempera-
ture and some nausea to make
the great things about Christ»
mas absolutely repulsive.

And if you buy 'N Syaic‘s lat-
est release Hoim for ( hristmas.
you are going to be the sickest
you've ever been this Christmas.

And I mean sick. as in fetal-
position-in-the-bed-throwing-up-
in—a—trash-can-while-you-watch-
“A-Char1ie~Brown~Christmas"-
for-the-thousandth-time sick.

Here's how it'll happen:
You'll be attracted to a record
store. whereupon you‘ll see a
slick new Cl) on the shelves. On
the cover. Justin. Chris. JC.
Joey and Lance are pimped out
in their pretty-boy clothes. smil-
ing at you through some holly.

If you don't puke at the
sight of ‘N Sync. you‘ll buy the
CD and take it to the nearest
available CD player.

if the CD player doesn't
refuse to play such crap. you'll

start listening through the
weak renditions of such Christ-
mas favorites as “The Christ
mas Song (Chestnuts Roasting
on an Open Fire)." "Home for
Christmas." “The First Noel."
and “O Holy Night."

That‘s when it will set in. the
feared Christmas sickness. At
first. it'll start as a bad headache.
growing more and more painful
as you. hear the tracks on N
Sync‘s album.

Even if you listen to the CD
right now. still more than a
month away from the holiday.
you don't have a chance at re»
covering before the holly~
decked celebrations.

Like any other festive little
music critic. I love Christmas
music more than anything (ex-
cept Bach and Metallica). but 'N
Sync has wreaked yuletide hav—

oc on some classic tinsel~time
melodies.

The 'N Sync method of

Christmas caroling is this:
Turn on the drum machine and
squeal like a prepubescent boy.
and start singing.

But apparently the tradi-
tional melodies aren't a major
concern for the group of guys
who are every 12~year-old girl's
dream because their version
of "The Christmas Song" doesn‘t
sound like any Chestnuts I've
ever roasted on an open fire.

1 can‘t promise you won't
get sick when you go home for
Christmas this year. but I can
tell you a certain way to avoid
it: Don‘t by the 'N Sync Christ-
mas album.

MIMLREYIEYL

Sandler drowns
in ‘Waterboy’

A lifelong waterboy with a special gift
makes a big hit in the world of football

By Matt Hulcalny
SENIOR SiAFF VIRHER

In Billy Madison he
played a dim-witted loser. in
Happy Gilmore he played a
dim-witted loser. in his
newest movie. funny man
Adam Sandler plays a dim-
witted loser.

So much for variety.

Sandler stars as Bobby
Boucher, a sheltered. mama's
boy moron from the back
woods of Cajun country in
Louisiana. Despite being 31-
years old and not really a big
football fan. Sandler‘s life cen-
ters around his job as water-
boy for a college football team.

After being fired after
more than a decade of service.
Sandler sets out to find a new
position. He happens upon
small South Central Louisiana
University. The team hasn‘t
won a game in four years. the
cheerleaders and mascot
spend the game doing shots
and usually pass out before
halftime. and the coach (Henry
Winkler) has never recovered
from a nervous breakdown.

Predictably. it turns out
Sandler has a natural talent
as a ferocious tackler. Visual
izing his enemies and draw—
ing from the pain of many
years of torment. Sandler lev—
els massive hits on the opposi—
tion and soon leads his team
into bowl contention. The rest
of the story follows the stan-
dard blueprint: Right before
the big game with the team
that fired him. Sandler is ac—
cused of cheating to get into
college. He‘s Cleared. the team
wins. he’s the hero. Every-
one‘s happy.

Everyone. that is. except

the audience.

Sandler has gained quite
a following with his simpleton
characters and unique sense
of humor. but even hard-core
fans will be disappointed with
The Waterboy. The script by
Sandler and frequent collab0~
rator Tim Herlihy is merely a
patchwork of Sandler‘s other
movies thrown together to
give Sandler an excuse to try
out his "Cajun Man" accent
on the big screen.

Despite the pathetic script
and disposable characters.
Sandler delivers enough
laughs to keep the movie from
being a complete disaster. His
bone-crunching hits on the op-
position provide laughs. and
the characters moronic charm
allows for a few glimpses of
how funny the movie could
have been with a better story.

Former stand-up comic
Blake Clark also delivers
laughs as the inarticulate,
hard-drinking . nippleeringed
assistant coach. Sandler‘s for-
mer SNL castmate Rob
Schneider also shows up
halfway through in an amus-
ing cameo as another back-
woods idiot.

Baring these exceptions.
The Waterboy is full of disap~
pointing performances. As
Sandler‘s demented mother.
Kathy Bates should have her
Oscar taken away for this em-
barrassing role. Henry Win-
kler. once the epitome of cool
playing Fonzy. shells away his
last piece of dignity as the
hopeless coach.

In the word of Cajun Man.
The ii"aterboy is a humiliation.

RICH COOK I KERNEL STAFF

Sealor vrlde receiver Kevin Coleman dodged a Mississippi State defender Saturday en route to 103
yards receiving. Coleman has had three loo-yard receiving games since UK's Sept. 26 loss to Florida.

Catching 1‘ re at last

After slow start, Wildcat wide receiver
Coleman strings together impressive run

By Matt Nay
SPORTSDAILY EDITOR

Kevin Coleman is the
middle man.

He catches the pigskin in
places most receivers avoid.
Places that automatically en-
tail getting pulverized by men
coming at you with 4.4-speed
rom various directions. all
with the intention of decapi-
tating a defenseless receiver.
It doesn‘t matter if the ball is
caught. you will get laid out
anyway. You might as well
hang on to the football.

It is a place where ca-
reers can be made or bro-
ken. and maybe more impor-
tantly. a place where games
can be won or lost. And
Coleman likes it there.

“I like catching it over
the middle." Coleman said.
“It tells everyone that you
have heart when you do be-
cause it shows you don't
mind getting hit."

And get hit he does. as
Coleman has made the plays
in his four years at UK.

The senior from
Niceville. Fla. has caught 6’)
passes for 840 yards and 10
touchdowns for the Cats com-
ing into this season. In UK's
first Air Raid. Coleman burst
onto the scene with 52 recep~
tions for 621 yards and eight
touchdowns to complement
speed-burner Craig Yeast.

But 1998 started off slow-

ly for Coleman. He seemed a
forgotten man while CK
spread the wealth amongst
its stable of receivers. In his
first four games. Coleman
had only eight catches and
one touchdown. leading
some to wonder where he
had disappeared to. Yeast
had an explanation.

“Kevin is one of those
guys that starts slow." Yeast
said. “Then he finishes
strong. You forget he‘s out
there. then he comes on like a
mad man and racks up yards
and touchdowns. He‘s just al
ways been a slow starter."

Coleman's slow start
took off after UK‘s loss at
Florida. as he once again
found life in the middle of
the field a profitable one. He
has posted three 100yard re-
ceiving games since then. in-
cluding the last two straight
and has caught 27 passes in
those five games. The streak
was punctuated with an
eight catch. 103-yard. one»
touchdown performance
against Mississippi State on
Saturday.

Coleman said the
change came in production
started at the top with UK
head coach Hal Mumme.

“Coach Mumme said he
wanted to put the ball in my
hands more." Coleman said.
"It hurt from a personal
standpoint. but we were pil-
ing up numbers and every

Mr. Smith takes

UK to Washington

one was in the mix. We for-
got about the middle and
were throwing to the out-
side. but in the last four or
five games. I've really
picked it up."

After spending much of
the first half against State
begging for the ball over the
middle. L'K made halftime
adjustments that steered the
football in his direction dur-
ing its second—halfcomeback.

“We found we could
gash the middle." Coleman
said. “Tim couldn't put
enough mustard on it the
first half because of his
thumb. so I said I'd shorten
my route and come under-
neath the linebackers."

The plan worked and
UK went on to post a 37-33
victory. but the State game
plan still showed (‘oleman a
lack of respect. something
he says doesn‘t bother him
all that much.

"I like to be the silent
one." Coleman said. “If they
key on Craig. that‘s OK. I‘ll
get my yards."

Ask about Coleman's
seemingly out-ofcontrol run»
ning style after the catch and
he just laughs.

‘Haif the time. I‘m so
wide open i just get out of
control.” he said. “Coach al-
ways says to cover up the
ball and I just say ‘I‘oach. I
got you. don‘t worry'"

Opponents. on the other
hand. should worry. Yeast
said.

“He‘s been stepping up."
Yeast said. "If you sleep on
him. he kills you."

 

ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON A President
Clinton greeted NCAA basket-
ball champions UK and Ten-
nessee yesterday ., and picked
up yet another set of souvenirs
from his most frequent visitors
among college teams.

“We gave you one of these
back in 1996 and I don't recall
you wearing it.“ UK co-captain
Cameron Mills chided Clinton
as he presented an oversized
white-and-biue team jersey that
hung to the president‘s knees.

“Camemn. for all you know I
slept in it." Clinton joked. look
ing down at the jersey that
seemed to swallow him whole.
“I'll have you know i was Moots
before I was elected president."

Clinton greeted the same
two teams in the elegant White
House East Room for the same
reasons back in 1996.

He congratulated Ten-
nessee Coach Pat Summitt and
UK Coach Tubby Smith “for
knowing how to turn talent into
victory."

Vice President Al Gore. a
Tennessee native. called in
from Carthage. Tenn. to con-
gratulate both teams. He also

oofi‘sh-«ODQOOOO:‘
.

jumped on the repeat bandwag
on. calling UK "the Comeback
Cats“ and praising the Lady
Vols of Tennessee as “true
heroines" for a generation of
young women who aspire to
play basketball.

“Like all true champions.
you performed even better
when the pressure was on.“
Core said. “I‘m sure it won't be
long before you‘re back again."

Smith. who replaced Rick
Pitino as coach of the Wildcats
after the '96 season and got to
the White House later than some
of his players . said a repeat is
definitely on his team‘s agenda.

"We have a great group of
young men returning." Smith
said. “This group is exemplify
ing all the great qualities that
last year's team did. They're
working hard to prepare to get
back here next year."

Although the Kentucky
Wildcats sat out last year's cere-
mony . Arizona was the champ
then Tennessee‘s Lady Vols
were back this year courtesy of
their sixth NCAA champi-
onship. the crown of a 390 sea-
son in which most games were
won by 30 points or more.

Volleyball
team loses
two more

Season-long losing streak
extends to four matches
with two games remaining

Dave Borneo
SENIOR STAFF WRITER

It‘s not something they wanted to
write home about.

The UK women’s volleyball team
traveled to Georgia and South Caroli-
na only to come home with two losses.
stretching their losing streak to a sea-
son-high four games. The bitter week-
end began with a three-game shutout
loss to Georgia. The Cats didn‘t score
in the first game 0-15. and then were
finished off13-15. 8-15.

The Cats recorded a -.222 team hit-
ting percentage in the first game. the
only game shutout UK (15-11. 67 SEC)
has experienced this season. And UK
head coach Jona Braden had no an-
swers for why the Cats played so poorly.

“It‘s been a mystery." Braden said.
“I wish I had the answer. ifI did we’d
be winning. We haven't been in a
rhythm the past couple of weekends.
We struggled. we just didn‘t play to our
capability, in a nutshell."

The Wildcats owned an 11-7 lead in
the second game only to fall 13-15. UK
was led by senior Jenny Muzzey with
eight kills and four block assists. Fresh-
man setter Whitney Sample racked up
25 assists. two digs and two service
aces. and junior Jaclyn Homan notched
six kills and four digs in UK‘s loss.

Georgia beat UK in Memorial Coli-
seum on Oct. 18 in three games. By con-
trast. UK beat South Carolina on Oct. 16
at home in four games. but it lost to the
‘Cocks in four games on Sunday in Co
lumbia. SC. 615. 5-15. 15-9. 515.

The Gamecocks jumped out to an
early 80 lead. and it was too much for
the Cats to overcome. Braden didn’t have
any answers for the Sunday loss either.
but she said her players have questions.

"They‘re saying to each other.
‘What‘s wrong with us?” Braden said.
“It’s something that can be fixed.

"You usually learn a lot after it‘s
over. We are committed to solving the
puzzle."

There were some bright spots in
UK's loss. though. Senior LaTanya
Webb had 14 kills. seven digs and two
block assists. Junior Katie Eiserman
recorded 12 kills and five digs in addi-
tion to Muzzey‘s six kills and three
block assists.

Braden said she hasn‘t had a los-
ing streak like this in a while. She did
recall her first year of coaching at But-
ler. Her team started off 0-17 and then
three years later was 24-10 and won the
conference championship.

Braden doesn't have three years to
wait. because she and the team have
two more games before the Southeast-
ern Conference Tournament begins.

"We're just going to try to compete
and get out of this rhythm." Braden
said. “The SEC tournament is like an-
other season.

"Our team is capable of playing at
a consistently higher level. Right now
we just have to look at Louisville on
Wednesday. I think we can learn from
our losses."
