Ground game
comes up big

By Brett Dawson
Senior Staff ll ’riter

COLUMBIA, S.C. — After
Moe \Villiams blistered South
Carolina's defense for 29‘) rushing
yards in UK's 35-30 win over the
Gamecocks on Saturday, the
inevitable questions arose:

“After seeing what (Georgia's)
Robert Edwards and (Arkansas')
Madre Hill did to them," one
reporter asked, “did you think you
could come in here and have a big
game?

“\Vhat is it about the right side
of their line," another said, “that
makes it so easy to exploit?"

And finally, there was this sub-
tle offering:

“How bad 1': (South Carolina's)
defense?”

From all angles, there was talk
of the porous nature of the Game-
cock rushing defense. But not only
did \Villiams not believe the hype,
he hadn’t even heard it.

“Everybody keeps talkin
about what the other backs did,
\Villiams said. “But on the film we

Die/yards bottle bod wear/yer to follow l/Vz'ldcots

By Jennllei Smith
Managing Editor

COLUMBIA, S.C. — No matter rain nor sleet
nor snow — they'll be there.

They aren't mail carriers.

But they are dressed in blue.

They are \Vildcat fans and they come from every-
where.

Of the reported 65,328 fans at Saturday's game
a ainst South Carolina in Columbia, S.C., more
t en 500 fans in blue squished into the section of the
stadium known as the “Cock Corner."

And the fans weren’t just players’ families or the
die—hard fans who line Commonwealth Stadium's
home games with their RVs.

“\Ve’ve become like a \Vildcat version of the
Deadheads — no matter how old the team gets, we
follow,” said Mark Bridle, a marketing senior who
has followed the Cats to every road game since he
was freshman.

Jason Lemmond, an economics junior, said if
you're a UK sports fan, you have to support the
football team, too.

“A lot of (football) fans in Kentucky are sour, but
we support them win or lose,” he said.

And road trips — a natural part of colle e experi-
ence, he said —- are an easy way to take a reak and
cheer for the team.

However, this road trip wasn't much ofa vacation
for the fans who sat in temperatures that hovered in
the mid-505 while the sky intermittently spat rain at
them.

Sidonna Hi nite, an interior design sophomore,
said she travel ed to the game to sup on the team
and enjoy the warm weather in South Carolina.

“I’m kind of afraid we brou ht the cold weather
with us,” Hignite said. “It was 8 here yesterday and
today it’s like 50-something.”

But there won’t be any real complaints about the
weather from a majority of the Cats fans who stayed
the entire game in their assortment of \Vildcat-blue
ponchos and flimsy plastic bags.

“The weather's great. It's football weather,” said
Sasha Thomas, an undeclared sophomore.The “boys
in blue” more than noticed the fans who drove more
than seven hours to cheer.

And after the Cats' 35-30 victory, the entire team
mi rated to the fans’ blue corner and gave cheers
and waves of thanks. UK coach Bill Curry gave a
simple, but well-accepted thumbs up to the
postgame crowd.

“Our fans are the best. They've been there for us
through everything, and they've supported us," said
linebacker Donté Key after the game. “Last year, we
were losin every game and they'd still show up on
the road. ' be last two games we've won, we've one
straight over to the fans and shared it With t em,
because they deserve it.

“\Ve're Winning for ourselves mostly, but we're
also doing it for the Kentucky fans."

Kev isn't the only one that noticed the impact the
crowd seems to have on the game.

“Our side is small, but it's pumped up and it's
pumped the team up," said Danny Hargett, a chemi-
cal engineerin junior who said he believes fan sup-
port is one oftfie reasons UK is doing so well.

The football team wasn’t the only one getting
pum ed up as the score rose.

T e \Vildcat mascot, Brent Claiborne, had to
stick with the UK tradition of the mascot domg a
one-armed push—up for every point the Cats score.

“The cat (mascot) looks just plain worn out," said
Derrin Marcum, a UK graduate. “I bet Kentucky
fans are having trouble remembering how to count
to 35.”

Claiborne said doing the celebratory push-ups in

'KlllS Iloting Kentucky' 9088 Tllll TOI‘CB at UK

By Gary Wull
Stafan'rer

At IO am. on Tuesday, Fayette County students
will join to ether at the UK Arboretum to celebrate
National 'ds Voting Day and “Kids Voting Ken-
tucky.”

Students will plant a “\Vish Tree" at the Arbore-
tum. Then they will read their wishes from their
“wish cards,” which contain their hopes and dreams
for the country. Next, they hang the cards one by
one on the Wish Tree.

Another highlight of the day is recognizing the
75th anniversary of women's right to vote. Special

,

messages from US. senators and representatives

who are women will be read along with their “good
wishes” for National Kids Voting day.

“Kids Voting Kentucky" is a chapter of a larger
non~profit organization out of Tempe, Arizona
called “Kids Voting USA."

It is dedicated to educatin students about the
importance of an informed e ectorate and on the
importance ofvoting to sustain democracy.

The program begins in the classroom and culmi-
nates on election day, when students 0 to polling
Sites, accompanied b a parent or guardian, to cast a
simulated ballot on t e same issues as adults.

UK has been involved since the start of the pro-

ram in Lexin ton last year. Of the I36 precincts,
E’K students a opt 25 percent of them. The remain-

ing amount is covered by other organizations.

L'K is involved by havtng a student campaign to
gather volunteers. Scott Coovert, a volunteer for the
program, has gotten together a roup of students
from UK to he p staff the event. T e shifts are diVid-
ed into two hour intervals from 6 am. to 6 pm.

Penny Miller, a political science professor and a
member of “Kids Voting Kentucky” board of direc-
tors, is doing research on this pro ram.

She is studyin the success oft e program. Miller
will also study if kids vote the same as their parents.

About 400 teachers from the Fayette County
school district are involved in the program. The
teachers use their curriculum to talk about voting
and its importance in history.

lllBW lll'lllll) aiming to make student-alumni connections

By Aaron 0. Hall
Smfi’Wn‘m

Anyone who has completed at least 12
credit hours is eligible to join the newest
campus organization. _

L K's Student Alumni Connection, now
in its infancy, was formed to keep alumni
informed of campus activity. The connec-
tion also hopes to prepare students to serve
as future alumni leaders.

Although pro rams still have yet to be
determined, said olly Adams, a member of
the group's core committee: “This is a
unique 0 portunity for students to be char-
ter mem rs of an organization.

“They can determine the future of a
grou ," she said.

Tlic alumni connection, not wanting to
delegate powers to one individual,, plans to
have no president, Adams said.

Adams said that networking with alumni
may help students to find internships.

Associate director for the connection

4

and a 1972 UK graduate Stan Key said he
envisions the organization as being part of
the learning process for students.

Special Pro rams Coordinator
Stephanie Novem er said that over the
summer, 8-10 students on the core com-
mittee met to see ifthere was a need for the
alumni connection. UK'S Board of Direc-
tors agreed on their proposal.

Upcoming lans are to have students
interact with a umni during tent parties at
football games, said Jay Pumam, a business
mana ement sophomore.

Ot er projects include setting up the
constitution for the organization and a
membership drive.

Core committee member Katy Chiles
said: “Personally, I'd like to bring dedica-
tion and enthusiasm and a smiling face (to
the roup)."

Sgtudent Alumni Connection meetings
will be held eve two weeks at 7 pm. in
the King Alumni louse. The next meeting
is on Oct. 8.

Armey otters
room tor wellare talks

\VASHINGTON —— House Majority Leader
Dick Armey said yesterday he could accept a wel-
fare reform compromise that allowed cash grants
to teenagers who have babies, but only if the states
pay for it.

“If some state wants to be foolish and give cash
grants to young irls for lllcglll'
mate births, I think we could prob-
ably see some latitude," the Texas
Republican said on CBS' “Face the
Nation .”

Armey also said Republican
leaders are willing to allow the

resident to pa the government's
bills and avoi a financial melt-
down. In the coming weeks, ”may
Congress must find common
ground between a House welfare reform plan that
would cut off payments to teen-age mothers and
curtail extra payments to women who have more
children while on welfare and a milder Senate ver-
sion that does not contain those provisions.

President Clinton has indicated he might sign
the Senate version, but would Veto any plan that
accepted the House language.

 

“all“: receive longer prison terms

NASHVILLE, Tenn. —- Blacks get prison sen-
tences about 10 percent longer than whites for sim-
ilar federal crimes, according to a computer analy-
sis ublished yesterday.

Vhites in l992-93 received an average sentence
of 33 months, while blacks got 36 months, The
Tennessean reported. The computer study exam-
ined all 80,000 federal court conVictions during the
two years, com aring cases where the seriousness
of the crime ant criminal histories were et ual.

The study found the highest black/w ite sen—
tencin disparity —— 13 percent — in the west. The
South ad the lowest regional disparity, With 3 per-
cent. Sentenccs for blacks were l2 percent higher
in the Midwest and 10 percent in the northeast.

Hispanics received sentences comparable to
whites. Too few Asians and other minorities were
convicted of federal crimes for a statistically valid
comparison, the newspaper said.

ATLANTA — It's the end of the line for
R.F..M.'s Monster tour. Really.

The band added a third show to its tour-ending
dates at the Omni after selling out two concerts in
32 minutes — and tickets were still selling briskly.

Fans sna ped up more than 16,000 seats for the
Nov. l8-l shows on Saturday. forking over
$3 I .50 per ticket. The band immediately
announced the third and final show, set for Nov. 21
and sold another 7,000 or so tickets.

R.E.M. kicked off its first tour of the decade in
Australia in January. It’s been interrupted three

“\Vhen I was out, I just didn’t want to lose,”
Bolten said. “It really focused me."

Wednesday as she continues to recuperate from an
ankle sprain suffered last week against Butler.

VSophomore Tracy Thompson should also
return to action when UK plays an away game at
Auburn Friday, Ralston-Flory said.

Thompson began this season as a starter, but a
nagging knee injury suffered last season forced her to
sit out a few games.

The ball bent her ring-finger backward, possibly dis-
locating it.

Bolten's backup at setter, iunior Ainsley Grimes,
was sidelined last week with a severely sprained left
ankle.

724m 2—0 in SEC after

wins over Miss. schools
By Stephen Trlmble

Senior Stafl'u'rirtr

Ralston—l‘ilory pointed to senior
outside hitter Katherine Lindgren to
fill in. Lindgren had never played the
position in her career — and her
inexperience showed.

A volleyball setter is basketball’s
version of a point guard _, they con-
trol the offense. While Lindgren‘s
passes seemed to be going to the
right spots, Ralston-Flory said, said
the Cats held back and played too
cautiously.

“I thought we were in big trou—
ble," Ralston—Flory said.

The team struggled through the
rest of the first game, losing 7-15. In
fact, UK lost 17 of 21 points while
Bolten was out.

But she returned in the second
Ralsfon-Flory game with the \Vildcats down 1—5.

Playing with soreness from two taped
fingers, Bolten went on to have one of the best VEglitis’ two block assists against Ole Miss
matches of her career. moved her into third place on UK‘s all—time list with

Only a few minutes after returning, she made the 297.

It might have been two years since this phrase
\ flew from the UK volleyball coach's lips after a
i t weekend of competition:

“We literally dominated two teams in one week—
end,” said UK coach Fran Ralston-Flory, minutes
after her team put away Ole Miss 7-H, 15-9, 15~7,
15-12 yesterday at Memorial Coliseum.

On Friday, Mississippi State limped out of Lex-
ington after falling to the \Vildcats in three games,
7-15.10—15, 11—15.

The two wins helped the Wildcats, a team which
struggled through its non-conference schedule, get
off to quick start in the Southeastern Conference.
The Cats’ record now stands at 4-7 overall and 20
in the SEC.

But the victories were not without some drama.

The biggest plot twist was an awkward bend ofa
finger.

With the Wildcats leading 4—3 in the first game
against Ole Miss yesterday, UK sophomore setter
Fiona Bolten leaped above the net to block a spike.

the \Vildcats finished the event with a 2—0
record and their first- ever UKIT title.

“People are stepping up and taking leader—

whose squad improved to 7‘1. “( )ur team
chemistry is good."

Yesterday, a barrage of \Vildcats took the
steps Collins was referring to, as the squad
overcame a slow offensive start and steam—

far right corner of the roal.

Collins expressed pleasure with his team’s
performance, pointing out that his squad
showed immeasurable improvement.

“Saturday, we played very poorly. Today,
we came back and played more like we need
to," he said. “Our intelligence and decision—
