Most days when Wagener reviews

days when Fayette County Public

pack is filled with coloring books,
snacks and stuffed animals to help en-
tertain his children.

"It‘s one of the few moments I get

said.

While working toward a business
degree. Wagencr is taking 12 credit
hours and working about 33 hours a
week iii the presses at the Levington

four hours of sleep a night .,. and
even less time with his children.

“On work days I get to spend
about an hour and 15 minutes total
twith the kidsi." Wagcner said.
"(I getl the hour in the morning
when we're rushing to get dressed
and the fifteen minutes w hen they
get back from day care before I got

But a manic schedule. unhealthy
sleep habits and minimal time with
his kids doesn‘t discourage Wagener.
They are the reason he wears himself

UK surpasses $1 billion
fundraising goal

STAFF REPORT

I'K passed its $1 billion dollar capital fundraising mark less than nine
years after the stan of the campaign and with nine months remaining in the

scheduled time.

“I think this accomplishment shows the nation something a lot of us have
known for a long time: the l'niversity of Kentucky has great friends." said
UK President Lee Todd in a press release. “I am very proud of the work that
has been done for us to reach this monumental mark. but I am most proud of
what these dollars mean to the Commonwealth of Kentucky."

The campaign has accumulated $1.022 billion. A majority of the individ-

ual donations ~

$235 million worth .- came in amounts between $100000

and $500000. according to a news release.

“Reaching and surpassing the $1 billion goal several months in advance
of the scheduled end of the campaign late this year is a tribute to the alumni
and friends whose gifts have made this achievement possible. It is also a
wonderful reflection on the excellence of this institution." said D. Michael
Richey. asstx:iate vice president for development and chief development offi—

cer. in a news release,

The campaign will continue for the remaining nine months “because we
still face significant needs. particularly in the areas of undergraduate scholar-
ships and public service efforts." Richey said in a release.

He added that UK is the first university to reach a $1 billion goal in its

first capital campaign.

Malawi?

On thc night of April 13.
Prince William behaved like any'
ncwly singlc 24—year-old with
places to party and money to
burn. Accompanied by scycral
male friends and his royal sccuri~
ty tcam, the second in line to thc
English thronc hit London hot
spot Mahiki shortly aftcr l 1 pm.
Waiting for thcm at their private
table wcrc six magnums of Dom
l’crignon at almost $400 a pop.
"William sccmcd well up for a
wild night out." a Mahiki club
source tells Us. "His friends were
in a rowdy mood, patting him on
the back and calling him a 'lcdgc'
(short for ”lcgcnd") aftcr hc did
thrcc shots in a row." thn thc
prince wasn't rcgaliiig his pals
with storics and toasting to
"good times and new mcmorics."
hc was tcxt—iiicssaging on his
phonc or doing the robot dancc
on top of his chair. Racking up a
ncarly SIUtXXl bar tab. thc liycly
group decided to call it a night at
3:3() am. As for William. "hc

After four years, Prince William
can't commit to Kate Middleton,
dashing her hopes of one day
becoming queen

to everyone." a Middlcton inside
cr says of thc brcakup. "Thcir
fricnds and family are shocked."

Alas. the rclationship w asn't
dcstincd for the altar. "Katc
wanted an assurance that thcrc
was going to be a future for
thcm. and William wasn't ready
to giyc that." says thc Middleton
sourcc. "His family adyiscd him
not to rush into things. and so in
thc cnd. hc couldn't giyc hcr
what shc wantcd." Not totally
uncxpcctcd considcring William
oncc said, "I don't want to gct

What Went Wrong

NCAA bans text messages to recruits

New UK men's basketball head coach Billy (lillispie
might have to rethink his recruiting tactics.

Yesterday. the NCAA l)i\ision l Board of Directors ap—
proved a proposal that eliminates the use of text messaging
when coaches look to recruit prospective student-athletes.
The ban of text messaging will begin Aug. I and could be
revised in early 2008.

The NCAA said the ban was important because it stops
NCAA recruiting polic) abuses and erases a loophole in the
polic) that states coaches cannot initiate phone calls with re,
crurting prospects. The NCAA said that one of the primar)
abuses of this policy were text messages from coaches say
ing "call me" to recruits,

After being announced as the head coach of l'ls’.
(iillispie said that he setids about 8000 text messages a
month to prospects.

Laser eye surgery helps LSU receiver gain locus

AKRON. ()hio . Not long alter LSl' recener l)wa)ne
Bowe litids his NH. home. his agent might be scanning the
Yellow Pages for laser e)e surger) centers.

Not because Bowe needs the procedure. but because it
helped elevate him into a possible first-round pick. and he
would seem to be the perfect pitehman.

L'ntil last July. Bowe struggled to pla) football wearing
contacts. He was known lor being fearless going across the
middle. but the hard hits that he absorbed often iarred the
lenses loose. Until he could get to the sideline. he couldn't
see the ball.

Then last summer. Bowe decided on the surger} and
was immediately glad he did.

"I cart see the white lines. the grids. l cart see the NCAA
sign and everything." he said.

NH. Draft anal) sts said Bowe made big strides after the
procedure. Bow'e emerged as quarterback JaMarcus Russ
sell‘s go-to guy and finished the season with (i5 catches for
090 yards and I: touchdowns. a draiiiattc imprmement
trout his II receptions for '7l0 _\ai‘ds and nine touchdowns
as a JUI’IIUF.

In October. ESI’N's .'\Iel Kiper .lr. considered Bow e a
third»round prospect; now he lists him as the third—best re—
cener behind Calvin Johnson of Georgia Tech and led (iinn
Ir. ol Ohio State.
