Campus rec facilities may get pumped up

Process begins
to improve UK

exercise areas
By Haili Wu

Senior Staff H 'riter

After meeting with the chatt—
cellor, Campus Recreation is at
the second stage of what Vice
Chancellor james Kuder called a
three—step process.

The first step was to figure otit

what L'K needs in terms of a new
recreation facility. The second
step is to calculate the cost and
make a plan. The final step. of
course, is to ptit the plan into
action.

The Committee on Campus
Recreation has already provided
evidence about what the L‘niversi»
ty lacks in terms of recreational
facilities.

“l've read (the report by the
Committee on Campus Recre—
ation). I've talked to the commit—
tee, talked to chancellor. The
obvious next step is to do some
work to determine what we‘d like

to have." Kuder said.

;\ task force of six or seven peo-
ple including students. faculty and
staff will be formed. Campus
Recreation Director Bill l’ieratt
will head this committee.

The committee will visit
schools with excellent recreation
facilities. “They will talk to the
people of those schools." Kuder
said, “and do a thorough investi—
gation as to what an adequate
recreation facility for an institu<
tion such as {K would coin—
prise."

"\Ve like to keep this task force
small." said Melanie Crul. Stu-

dent Government Association
president and a member of this
recreation task force. “so it will be
easier to tackle the problems that
might arise."

Crul also added that the task
force will consist of many admin~
istrators who are would be .1 part
of the decision—making process.
not the bureaucracy.

The prelitninary schools the
committee will visit are \\'estern
Kentucky L'niversity. Vanderbilt
L‘niversity. L'niversity oliieot‘gia
and Miami of Ohio. \ll these
schools have “new. comprehensive
facilities." l’ieratt said.

The committee‘s final report
will be in the form ot. .i pros
posal as to what it will take to pro
vide recreation facility for sliir
dents. family and stall. \nd tliat‘ll
take .i while." lsuder said.

Ktider also much of the plan
for a new recreation facility is
contingent on the si.ilL"s eto
noiuics. and how much students.
staff and faculty .ire \\llllll§_: to
contribute to this t .i'tist.

“The L'niversity has .1 lot of

priorities." Kuder said. "knfoi'tu

“\\"e have a special responsibil—
ity to care for each other," said
President Charles \Vethington in
his opening remarks before the
\Valk. “l atn very pleased the stus
dents are here tonight.”

“Listen to what is said by fami»
ly members," said Sherri Eden.
executive director of Sttident Ser-
xices for the Student Government
Association. “(You could) learn
quite a bit (about the students'
lives)."

S(i:\ started the annual Memo-
rial \\'alk a couple of years ago to
support the family and friends of
deceased students. said Senator-
;it—latrge Amber ()wen, a journal—
istn iunior.

“Chris... sat behind tne in the~
atre class," ()wen said.

Several social fraternity and
sorority members attended the
walk to show support for the fra—
ternity brothers of Maier. who
was killed Aug. 3‘).

“\Vc‘re here to show support,”
said senior \my Dunn, a tiieinber
of the Sigma Kappa social sorori-
ty. who described the walk .is “an
uplifting experience."

Delta Delta Delta sorority
member lris >\dkisson attended
even thou h she did not know any
of the stutfents personally.

“I thought it was a nice thing to
do." Adkisson said.

One student's death “happened
right in front of my house." said
one (ireek member. who asked to
remain anonymous. "1 know
things like that happen btit not
that close to home."

To reflect on the lives of those
lost. the crowd held candles as
family members and friends
shared special memories and tom-
inents about several of the st'i-
dents.

Many students left the Student
Center “’ednesday afternoon with
more than lunch.

Some had secured job interviews.

Students had the opportunity to
speak with 190 business representatives,
who set up interviews with students.
offered job opportunities and ex lained
what their companies has to olfdr dur-
ing the third annual Career Day.

Companies set up booths in the
Student Center ballroom from 10:30
a.m. to 2:30 pm. for students to speak
with the representatives.

Kem Blanchard, assistant director
of the Career Center for the (iatton
College of Business and Economics.
has organized the event for the past
three years.

‘

“it is an opportunity for students to
learn how to market themselves to an
employer and conduct a job search,”
Blanchard said. “These employers are
looking for students for part-time and
full—time positions now."

Toyota Motor Manufacturing
USA. lnc.. is looking to fill positions
with full—time students btit also pro-
vides positions for graduates.

“\Ve’re trying to focus on otir co—
op program, where students gain work
ex erience while they are still in
scfiool," said Scott Roach, a Toyota
representative. “This helps build tip
our resume databases for when stu—
dents at out of school.

"Wye want to get out the word to
students that we‘re not just manufac-
turers. but we have business vacancies
to fill also.”

Other companies such as General

Electric (Io.. Proctor and (iamble, and
Fifth-Third Bank conduct on-canipus
interview sessions throughout the
school year to expand its recruiting
even beyond Career Day.

“just like with any other company. we
are always lookin for good ieople with
solid ability." sait Mike (iuelcher. a (il’.
employee. “Career Day helps give stu~
dents a sense ol‘where t ey want to go."

The ballroom, as well as “7 and
359 Student Center stayed filled with
students who visited booths through-
out the afternoon. Some were eager to
secure a job; others attempted to fig-
ure out what they are interested in.

“I’m graduating this May, so I want
to put my foot in the door with some
companies," said marketing senior
James Todd. “I've worked for Dr l’ep-
per Bottling in the past. so 1 hope that
will help me get a job when I get out."

More than i0” companies. both
local and national, were united to par
ticipate in (Iarecr Day, Other major
companies such as \shland, lnc.. Black
and Decker. lB.\l and Kroger (Io. also
attended the event.

“l’ven though were local, we have
less exposure and fewer opportunities
to recruit." said :\nna Stipp. an adver-
tising representative at the Lexington
llerald\ll
season long, the team has spoken
of their unity. and their ncwfound
togetherness.

Now the depth is starting to
show through.

UK has played more than 10
players and has many interchange—
able parts, which allows them to
accommodate last~ininute
changes.

“\Ve're a lot deeper," Ston»
estreet said.

“\\'e have a lot of players that
can step in off the bench and

play."

The (Eats leave this morning
for a weekend tournament in Las
Vegas against Nuada—Inis Vegas
and Fresno State. The team hopes
to build on the success it has
cnioyed recently. but ifnot, Ston-
estrect knows what words he lives
by.

“Do the best at whatever you
do.“ he said.

“If you know you did the best.
you can walk away happy. If you
didn't. you have to try over again.

LOUISVILLE —- Muhammad
Ali made a sentimental journey to
his old high school \Vednesday,
reveling in memories but upset
over plans by an auction house to
sell items that the boxing great
contends were taken from him.

' A'Iany ofAli’s items will be auc-
tioned in Los An eles next month,
and the former cEamp wants them
back.

“Somebody stole stuff from
me," Ali said later yesterday dur-
ing an Internet chat with fans.

The cherished personal sou-
venirs are among more than 3,000
items from the boxing great’s
career that are to go on the block
at Christie’s Los Angeles on Oct.
19. Ali and his wife, Lonnie, are
not involved in the auction and do
not plan to buy anything.

Asked ifhe wanted some items
back for a museum planned in
to honor him, Ali
replied, “I wouldn’t mind but it's
nothing to cry over."

Items include his 1960 Golden
Gloves trophy, which could draw
at least $30,000, and an Aug. 23,
woo-dated letter Ali wrote to the
draft board requesting new classi-
ﬁcation.

It was the last letter sent before
he refused induction. That action
cost him his boxing title, got him
banned from competition and
made him a national hero to some
and a draft-dodger to others.

There are also items that used
to be stored in his father’s home
in Louisville that were sold with—
out Ali’s approval. Those items —-
photo albums and trophies —— fell
into hands of collectors when they
were left when his father’s home
was vacated.

A spokesman for Christie’s in
New York declined to immediate-
ly respond to Ali’s remarks on
INednesday.

The former heavyweight
champion conjured flashes from
his past in a sentimental return to
Central High School, ﬁring jabs at
a young boxer amid cheers from
students.

“This is his high school,” Cen-
tr'al High School Principal Hamid
Fenderson said. "He is excited
about being here. He is the great-
est champ of all time.”

It was part of Ali’s return to his
hometown this week to attend an
amateur boxing tournament and
tribute named in his honor.

At Central High, Ali was
known as u -and-coming amateur
boxer Cassius Clay. Hecgnduooed
before winning the gol medal at
the 1960 Olympics at Rome.

The _champ displayed his skills
as a crowd pleaser, basking in
chants of “Ali, Ali" from students.
He thrilled the crowd when he
ﬂicked out light middleweight

ommie Stepp from a lineup of
0.8. amateur boxers taking part in
the Ali Cup tournament who
shared the stage with the chomp.

Ali mockingly snapped off a
series of jabs at Stepp, backing
him up.

“I was overwhelmed with joy,”
Stepp, 27, of Atlanta said of facing
off briefl with Ali. “(He was) the
greatest ghter who ever lived.”

Students later surrounded Ali
in the hall, posing for pictures and
calling his name. Ali playfully
kissed one girl on the cheek.

Ali later reminisced about his
long boxing career, his relation-
ship with rival Joe Frazier and the
civil-rights movement in a wide—
ranging Internet chat arranged by
The Courier-Journal newspaper.
He also displayed his trademark
conﬁdence and wit.

When asked to name the top
10 hea eight ﬁghters in history,
Ali rep ied, “Naturally, I’m No.
l ”

Asked later if he planned to
take center stage for a possible
reconciliation between Mike
Tyson and Evander Holyﬁeld at a
tribute to amateur boxing Satur—
day night, Ali answered, “Where
else do I belong?”

Making peace with his own
rival might be more troublesome.

Ali said he did not anticipate a
reconciliation with Joe Frazier
when the two are to meet at the
tribute in Louisville. Asked what
exchange he expected with Fra—
zier, Ali replied, “Hello and good-
bye.”

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. —

Alabama dismissed star defensive
lineman Michael Myers from the
football team yesterday after an
internal investigation found he
accepted hotel expenses and cash
from sports agents.

Marie R0 bins, who oversees
the university’s compliance with
NCAA rules, said her two-week
review concluded Myers had
taken the beneﬁts during a trip to
California. One agent paid a hotel
bill and another provided cash,
she said.

“Due to the serious nature of
these violations, the university will
not seek restoration of Mr. Myers’
eligibility,” Robbins said.

She did not release details
about the identity of the agent or
how much money was involved.
She also declined comment on
whether the school would pursue
legal action a ainst the agents.

Myers’ fa er, however, denied

his son had accepted an hing
from an agent during the outh-
em California trip.
“My older son aid his way out
there, Herman yers said in a
telephone interview from his
home in Vicksburg, Mia.

Herman Myers Jr. plays basket-
ball professionally in Europe and
went to California in July to meet
an agent, said the elder Myers.
Michael accompanied his brother,
who paid both the travel expenses

“To my knowledge he didn’t
