question to ask all of

going to tell you.

"What Dead Week Means
to Me"
By Jared Whalen

Spring weather is
taunting.

Homework is daunting.

All I want to do is sleep.

I sit down to open a book,
but I fail to close the
blinds. I see how nice
it is outside and the
next thing I know I'm
outside doing anything
but being productive.

We're supposed to be off.

The teachers do scoff.

l have 10 pages due
tomorrow.

How am I supposed to
study when I have four
sections of calculus to
do, two papers to
write and four
computer programs to
code? I don't ever
want to die it “dead"

A celebration: Torch will pass on Dec. 17

By Nick Tomecek
STAFF WRITER

The Olympic flag now ﬂies
outside the Govemment Center
in downtown Lexington. follow-
ing an announcement Monday
that the Olympic ﬂame will
travel through Lexington on
Dec. 17.

Lexington Mayor Pam
Miller promises a celebration
for the event.

“We are going to be prepared
as a city for the Olympics. We are
going to try to involve as many

schools as we can.” Miller said.

Salt Lake City will host the
2002 Winter Olympics.

Micki King. 1972 Olympic
gold medalist for diving and UK
assistant athletics director and
senior women's administrator
agreed with the mayor.

"[The Olympics are] some-
thing kids can really identify
with. I can't express how special
it is." King said.

King got her start in a
YMCA swimming pool. said Jan
Brucato. president and CEO of
YMCA of Central Kentucky.

The ﬂame will travel
through 46 states for a total of
13,500 miles. Ten of those miles
will be through Lexington and
will require about 50 runners
who will be nominated by the
citizens of Lexington. said Mary
Wathan. public relations repre-
sentative for the mayor's office.

The Salt Lake Organizing
Committee is asking that the
nominations be associated with
heroes in people‘s lives to be-
come one of the 11.500 “ordi-
nary" people to carry the
Olympic flame across the nation.

UK coach Tubby Smith.
who attended the news confer-
ence. said he thinks the United

States will do a great job hosting
the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt
Lake City. Smith was an assis-
tant coach for the US. Olympic

gold in Sydney last year.

“It's quite an honor to rep
resent your country." Smith

Give me beer.

Tomorrow I'll make time
to study.

It's an odd coincidence
that everybody plans
their parties around
dead week. Perhaps

they are planning on
gathering a large
group of people at
their house in an effort
to start a large study
group. Nah!

I have to get a 'B."

What the heck is my
roommate doing?

It's the time of year when
you break out the
calculator for the first
time but it's not to do
homework. it's to
calculate the lowest
possible exam grade
you can get and still
pass. Right after you
realize that you need a
99.9 percent, your
roommate begins
cursing because he
just died on the eighth
world of Mario 3.
(Note: He has been
playing for the past
four days without
stopping because you
cannot save on

This week is not dead.

Please shoot me in the

Please make it end

Group brings new
meaning to ‘fraternity'

'A house of ministry': Students from religious campus
organizations create spiritual atmosphere by living together

By Mark Boxley
Sim wit—nix —V

When you think of a
group of guys on campus
who live together because
they have the same values.
thoughts and beliefs. you
usually think of fraterni»
ties. There are houses
though. while not ofﬁcially
organized groups. that
could be called fraternities
of young Christians.

One such house is the
Bonnie House. Named for
the street it’s located on.
the house is home to nine
guys with one common in‘
terest A» God.

According to Kyle
Watkins. a communica-
tions junior. eight of the
nine guys met their fresh
man year at Campus Cru-
sades for Christ. The ninth
was Marshall Wilmhoff. a
UK business management
sophomore. who met the
other eight their sopho
more year at CCC. That
year the other eight lived
in Keeneland Hall. They
all decrded to get a house

the next year.

Having eight roomx
mates sounds like it would
be pretty rough. but
Watkins said he likes it.

“It's fun to have so
many roommates." Watkins
said. “Nine guys together
can get pretty crazy."

As for the spiritual at-
mosphere of the house.
Watkins said the house wel-
comes Christians and non-
Christians alike. Watkins
said there had been a few
CCC parties at the house and
that there were always con-
versations about God and
spiritual issues going on.

“It's a house of min-
istry." Watkins said.

Most of the nine plan to
stay in the house next year.
according to Watkins When
the group does leave the
Bonnie House though.
Watkins said they want to
pass the house down to
friends in CCC so the Bonnie
House can be kept alive.

Elton Chambers. a
biotech junior and a resi-
dent of the Bonnie House.
talked about the supportive

atmosphere of the house.

“It's a place where we
can let down our guard and
relax because we have noth-
ing to prove." Chambers
said. “I love it. It's great."

One of the advantages
that Watkins and Chambers
both notice is the environ-
ment. Watkins talked about
how the group prayed for
each other and how every-
one was there for a member
of the group in need. Cham-
bers said there is always
someone to hang out with
and the group keeps its
members accountable.

“If somebody sees
somebody really screwing
up. we'll probably go to him
and say something." Cham-
bers said.

Jamie White. an educa
tion senior and a resident of
the Bonnie House. said the
house is very caring and at
the same time. crazy.
White said that while living
in a house with eight other
guys has its drawbacks. for
the most part there are few
pmblems.

The sun shines through the trees as you
approach the Blue Hole. A duck sits on top of
the crystal blue water peacefully. while faint
sounds of birds and flowing water create a
bum. This quiet sanctuary hides itself among
buildings. but the proof of city life feels re-
mote as you stroll down the earthen path.

McConnell Springs is a piece of natural
land amidst the downtown Lexington area.
Park Naturalist Jill Taylor said the park of-
fers hiking trails. a picnic area. an indoor
education room with displays and a re-
search library.

“The main attraction is the trails."
she said.

The park features two springs. the Blue
Hole and the Boils. These are both artesran
springs. which are springs that force water
toward the grounds surface by underground
pressure. These springs come out above the
receiving stream anti flow down into it.
which makes them gravity springs.

The water flows from underground
through limestone bedrock. The Blue Hole is
a spring that was named because of its blue
color caused by its depth of at least 1.3 feet in

Next year: Dorm will close
temporarily for renovations

By Paul Halter
smr WRITER *

Students have one less option next se-
mester if they plan to live on campus.

Patterson Hall. a dorm on North Cam-
pus. will be closed for renovations. The
dorm. which is one of the oldest on campus.
will gain a sprinkler system and improved
heating and cooling systems.

Sandy Morgan. assignments office em
ployee. said the dorm was built before cur-
rent regulations for fire safety.

“Alter ﬁres in other dorms at other col-
leges. we decided that it would be best to
add a sprinkling system to Patterson and
other older dorms." she said.

Morgan said if all goes well. Patterson
will only be closed one semester.

“We are hoping for a reopening by
spring. but we are not 100 percent sure of
that at this moment. It depends on how
quickly Patterson is renovated." she said.

If students are able to move into Patter-
son for the spring. it will pmbably be handled
like requests for room assignments. she said.

Morgan said the housing oﬁice has been
able to place students in their first choice for
housing so far for next year. But incoming
freshmen who apply late for housing may
have to be put on a waiting list. she said.

Patterson is also home to a classroom
used by the honors program. They plan to
accommodate the loss of the classroom by
adding one to Boyd Hall. where a class-
room is already located. Patterson and
Boyd are both honors dorms where many
students in the honors program live.

ASSOCIATED PRESS

LLMA. Peru - Peru's Air Force on Monday de-
nied suggestions from the White House that it
failed to follow the rules of engagement before
opening ﬁre on a plane carrying American mis-
sionaries that was mistaken for a drug flight.

An American woman and her infant daughter
were killed in the shooting. which forced the plane
to crash-land in the Amazon River on Friday.

"The only thing I can tell you is that the air
force followed the procedures. It regrets this lam-
entable accident in which two people died." said
air force spokesman Cmdr. Robert Roca.

Roca said top air force ofﬁcials were behind
closed doors discussing the incident and that a
fuller statement was expected to be issued later
Monday.

His comments came hours after White House
spokesman Ari Fleischer information indicated
that standard rules of engagement which in-
clude checking the plane‘s registry. attempting to
raise the pilot by radio. and ﬁring warning shots
as were not correctly followed.

Fleischer said the joint [IS-Peru anti-drug
program was suspended with President Bush's ap
proval because "there are questions about the way
the mission was carried out."

The CIA plane had alerted Peruvian jet ﬁght-
ers that the missionaries plane was possibly ferry-
ing illegal drugs as part of a long-standing US.
counter-narcotics surveillance program run in co
operation With Peru.

But Americans aboard the surveillance plane
voiced objections to Peruvian air force authorities
before a jet from that country shot down the mis—
sionaries plane. a US ofﬁcial said Sunday.

Survivors of the attack maintain they were
ﬁred upon without warning and that air force jets
continued to strafe them even aﬁer they had crash
landed. according to relatives.

Minnesota baseball awakens
from extended dormancy

Spring in the Metrodome, for once: Twins
keep winning, keep opponents guessing

ASSOCIAIED PRISS

MINN ZAI‘ULIS After
eight straight losing seasons.
the Minnesota Twins are expo
riencing some retribution.

But. as everyone cautions.
it's still early .\nd the sea of
empty seats at the Metrodome
seems to be saying that. too.

Winners of five straight
games. Minnesota‘s 11-3 record
is the best in team history and
the best in the majors this sea
son. The young Twins own
ers of the lowest payroll in the
game for the third consecutive
season are clearly the best
bargain iii baseball.

The surprising start has
also brought the national spot
light back to a team that no
body has seemed to care much
about since winning the World
Series in 1987 and 1991. The
Twins haven't averaged crowds
of more than 17.000 fans sitice
1994.

“I've been on (‘NN twice iii
the last week." manager Toni
Kelly said "Shoot. 1 bet I
haven't spoken to them twice
since ‘91."

JELBRJEF

Thanks to the new unbal
aiiced schedule. the Twins
who begin a three-game series
Tuesday in Boston have
played all their games against
American League (‘entral divi-
sion riy'als

While their fans try to fig-
ure them out. the Twins‘ divi-
sional foes have been too busy
chasing them in the standings
to have time to scratch their
heads.

"Their starting pitching
might be better than what we
had last year." said (‘liicago
White Sox manager .Ierry
Manuel. whose team used a
similar surprising start last
year to win AL Central.

“Their starting pitching
has really been tough. and their
young hitters are developing
some power. That's part of the
maturation process of a young
team
things right."

(‘leveland Indians pitcher
Dave Iturba has been watching.
and so has his team the fa
yorites to win the diy'ision.

They're doing a lot of

good ball like that you have to
take notice." Burba said. “We
know those guys can play."

Fans in Minnesota might
need a little more convincing.
(‘rowds averaging 17.000

their first nine-game homes-
tand. a 3.000-fan increase from
their first nine home dates of
2000. But that still meant Min—

The taste of all that losing
still lingers in the Metrodome.
and another part of the problem
is that fans are still trying to
find players to identify with
since Kirby Puckett's early re-
tirement in 1996.

But many of the no~names
