.A gathering of Lexington resi—
dents was short by one significant
guest last night.

Rev. Louis Farrakhan, in pro-
motion of the National Holy Day
of Atonement and Reconciliation,
was scheduled to s )eak live by way
of satellite uplin ' to audiences
across the nation beginning at 8
pm. But technical difficulties with
the satellite feed caused Lexington
residents to miss his speech.

Farrakhan's address would have
been part of an evening program

at the Norsworthy Auditorium,
housed in the Fayette County
Public Schools Central Offices.
Yesterday was the second anniver-
sary of the Million Man March in
\Vashington, D.C., and the day
was set aside by Farrakhan as a day
of atonement.

“The day of atonement is
established by God to help us
achieve a closer tie with the source
of wisdom, knowledge, under-
standing and power," Farrakhan
said two years ago in \Vashington.
“A perfect union with God is the
idea at the base of atonement."

About 100 members of Lexing-

ton's black community attended
the program, which began yester-
day at 5:30 .111. Ten L'K students
participatedhn the event. Chester
Grundy, director of African-
American Student Affairs at L'K,
also attended.

Farrakhan's absence did not
prevent people from participating
in discussions and listening active-
ly to other speakers.

Mark Gay. a Lexington resi—
dent who attended the Million
Man March, brought his nephew
along.

“Basically this was all about

Marlene Jones, a Lexington
businesswoman and grandmother,
stayed home from work and kept
her grandchildren out of school
yesterday in order to participate in
the Day of Atonement.

“l feel like we need a change."
she said. “\\'e need to love each
other better."

Jones added that she met Far-
rakhan seieral years ago in
Lomsville.

Events including in the evening
program last night were tradition-

lim and Christian styles) and a
"dialogue between youth and

The technical difficulties with
the satellite were resolved just as
Farrakhan finished his speech, but
the Lexington audience continued
to speak to one another on taking
responsibility for the community.

On the low attendance at the
meeting, 'l‘homas Muhammad, a

As the morning sun shines
through the cargo door at the Lex—

master Brian Miller watches the
transparent brown bottles zip by.

There he stands, his eyes whip-

A few blocks over, Kevin Banta,

 

head brewer of the Lexington City
Brewery, fills two three ounce glass-
es with a new brew he’s trying out,
Pumpkin Ale, which goes on sale
today. The ale flows into the glass
directly from the wheat—golden fer-
menting tank.

As he holds the glass up, he says,
“To the pumpkin."

At both businesses, a fresh, dis—
tinctively Lexin ton beer is being
brewed. A beer t at for the moment

The voting for the Homecoming Court finalists is over as
of yesterday.Judging from the voter turn out, interest is high.

“\Ve had quite a few people come out to vote." said
Albert Burks, graduate student and assistant director of stu—
dent activities. “Actually, the first hour of \Vednesday we
had over 200 voters. The selection process ran smoothly."

The voting process this year had been altered. l‘iacb
time a student voted, their student ll) was verified, and
their name was checked off the main enrollment list so a
voter could cast their vote only once.

“The reason we did it that way is because in the past there
has been controversy about whether or not votes have been
thrown out," said Sarah Huber, accounting senior and roy—
alty co—chair for the Homecoming Committee. “This way,
no one can vote twice, and the students have to be full time."

Excitement is mounting for the pep rally. and students are
anxious to be informed of the Homecoming Court. The can»
didates are no exception.

The judges then narrowed down the nominees to eight
males and eight females: Laurette L'nderwood. Sarah (ireer,
Katy Chiles, Shannon Corley. Cristin Carder. Lennie
Batclielor, Jennifer McClelland. Joanne Holler, Bobby
Pope,J. Reed Pirain, (ireg l‘irhard. .\latt \Varnock, Craig
Carter, Todd Phillips, Chris Kemper and Geoffrey Tomes.

“I am ecstatic." said Joanne Holler, history senior nomi—
nated by Delta Gamma social sorority. “It is a great honor
to even have been nominated. and l am so happy to have
gotten this far."

“i am pretty excited. l was a semi-finalist last year. but
l’m more excited this year." said Geoffrey Tomes. senior
marketing major nominated by Farml louse social fraterni»
ty. “It seems like Homecoming in general is more exciting."

Katy Chiles, an anlish major nominated by the Alpha
(lamina Delta social sorority, said “I am really excited to be
a candidate for the Homecoming (.ourt. It is really great to
be recognized by your peers, not just for what you do in
your sorority, but for what you do on campus at large."

“l feel honored just to have been nominated."

Bobby Pope, a biology major. felt similarly.

“l feel honored that my friends nominated me, and
excited to have made it this far." l’ope said. “I‘m going to
have as much fun with it as I can."

The procedure ofchoosing the candidates began with
all of the nominees writing essays. The top 16 males and
16 females were then chosen. Those nominees were inter«
viewed.

“\Ve bad a lot of really good essays, and the interviews
went well, too," Huber said. “The judges had a very hard
time deciding. There were great applicants."

The top four contestants for the King and the four
contestants for the Queen will be announced tonight .it
the pep rally.

“l am nervous, but really excited about the pep rally
because of all the enthusiasm that students have for foot-
ball this year." Chiles said. “I hope all the excitement will
carry over to the pep rally and to the Homecoming game."

The Homecoming King and Queen will be announced
during halftime of Saturday's game.

0n the two—year anniversary of the
Million Man March, women all over the
United States are gearing up for a march
of their own.

The first Million Woman March will
be in Philadelphia on Oct. 25.

Yesterday was considered a day of
absence when Louis Farrakhan, the key
organizer of the Million Man March,

asked black Americans to stay home from
work and school and attend an evening
program.

At last night‘s program, Lexington
women planning to attend the march
received a farewell from the Million Man
March participants. Fourteen UK stu-
dents plan to attend the march.

“I m looking forward to the march,
said Circle of Imani member Tonya Ford.
“It will be a chance for Women to ct
together and discuss problems facing t e

.l

community and real solutions to those
problems.

This Million Woman March will be
the first of its kind.

“I’m very excited about this opportuni-
3,” Black Student Union reasurer

bony Moore said. “Vl'e have worked
very hard and we know it will be worth
it.”

Another march participant, Dionne
McKinney, said, “Raising funds for the
Million Woman March has been extreme—

ly hard for us."

The group raised more than $1,700 of
the $2,500 on its own but is struggling to
find the last $800.

Circle of lmani went before the Stu-
dent Government Assoeiation‘s Appro-
priations Committee to ask for money,

ut the bill was tabled until Oct. 22
before any debate.

“SGA is just giving us the run-a—
round,” McKinney sai . “How do they
expect us to pay for a trip two days before

 

These setbacks haven‘t hurt the

PI'OIBSSOI‘ more
than distinguished

By Whitney Ray

Carma/tilting H 'riter

A prestigious education and
an extensive research back—
ground are both qualifications
that universities look for in
prospective instructors.

However, the makings of a
ColIege of Arts and Sciences Dis-
tinguished Teacher go further
than an illustrious resume. Dedi-
cation. passion and communica-
tion are other essential qualities.

This year’s Distinguished
Teacher. Chuck Staben, has in
his ei ht years at the UK taught
bioinfbrmatics, genetics, micro—
biology and a graduate seminar
in molecular life science.

Ironically, his doctorate from
Berkeley is in biochemistry, a
subject he does not teach; vet he
has only 10 weeks of formal
instruction in genetics, 3 subject
he is currently teaching. Staben
has complete extensive research
and independent study in the
area.

\Vhen asked about his pri-
mary occupation, Staben said,
“Foremost, I’m a scientist."

His students say his love of sci-
ence, particularly fungal molecu-

lar genetics, reflects on them.

“He‘s very Berkeley, very
free-form. He doesn’t have lec—
ture notes, and says that if we
can write on the board. we can
get it on paper." said Jenni
Larsen, an agricultural biotech-
nology junior.

Staben said his bioinformatics
class is a special concern for him
because ofits original format.

“There's a huge amount of
information in molecular biolo-
gy, and this class is a rare offer-
ing that discusses the nature of
biological information along
with its analysis and use,"
Staben said.

“He's wonderful," said Mike
Terborg, a graduate student in
library science and information
studies, who is in the bioinfor-
matics class.

“He breaks down concepts
into digestible levels and always
takes time to listen to students
and explain things outside of
class."

At present, Staben is pursu-
ing research in the mating types
and sexual compatibilities of the
fungus neurospra crossa, and is
also at work on a bioinformatics
textbook.

UGA ready for ‘I-einstatement'

By Jay 6. Tale
Sports Editor

At 10-9, some might say the
Georgia Bulldogs are an average
volleyball team.

After all, UGA lost five consecu—
tive matches earlier this season and
recently took losses off both South
Carolina and Florida.

Easy win for UK?

Think again.

The UK volleyball team makes a
brief stop at Memorial Coliseum
tonight between road trips to face a
Georgia team on the rise.

And a Georgia team ready for
some revenge.

UK had its way with the Lady
Bulldogs last season, winning a 3-1
match at home and even easier 3-0
decision in Athens late in the sea—
son. In those two matches, Georgia
sputtered to a .147 hitting efficien-
cy compared to UK’s .250 over the
same period.

But the Lady Bulldogs have
caught fire over the past three
weeks. UGA has won four straight
matches without drop ing a single
game -— a stretch which has includ-

ed easy wins over Ole Miss and
Auburn squads who have downed
the Cats in recent weeks.

In addition to the dominant play
her team has exhibited over the past
three weeks, Georgia assistant
coach Melinda Claiborne says the
Lady Bulldogs will come to Lex-
ington with another _.
weapon: a bad attitude
about last year’s losses
to UK.

“After what hap-
pened last season, I
think we’re ready to
reinstate ourselves with
Kentucky,” Claiborne
said. “VVe’re playing
our best volleyball, our
intensity has been real-
ly high in practice this
week and we’re ready
for another chance . ’
against (UK)." .

The Lady Bulldogs ,
are led by sophomore
Rebecca Dady, a powerful outside
hitter who captured SEC Freshman
of the Year honors last season.

But things have been different
for Dady this season: She is only

   

hitting .160 and avera ' i 3.43 kills
per game -— nearly afilf per game
ess than last season’s performance.

Dady’s 1997 struggles haven’t

preclu ed her from raise, howev-
er. UK head coach ran Flory said
despite what the stats may show,
Dady is still someone with
, , whom the Cats have to
concern themselves.
, “Rebecca is a tough
at player — she showed
that last season,” Flory
' said. “She was almost by
‘. herself last year, but
’ Georgia has people to
help carry the load this
season. They‘re much
improved."

That improvement
nearly came full circle
45 minutes into the
Lady Bulldogs‘ Se t. 27
., match with No. 3 lori—
.” da. Georgia had taken

the first game from the
omnipotent Gators and seemed
well on its way to dealing Florida
its first conference loss in years.

Though the Gators regrouped
and eventually won the match 3-1,

Claiborne said her team took a lot
away from the loss.

“Florida ended up winning the
match, but we haven’t lost since,”
Claiborne said. “I think that’s a tes-
tament to the fact that this team
really believes in itself right now.”

Georgia’s continued confidence.
however, will be contingent on
which UK team takes the court
tonight. Big Blue has been incon-
sistent throughout the 1997 season,
jumping to an early 8-1 start , but
dropping 6 of 10 since then.

UK comes into the match
ranked No. 1 in SEC team blocking
and sporting two of the confer-
ence's most efficient hitters in mid-
dle blockers Jenny Muzzey and
Jaclyn Homan.

Muzzey and Homan are also
among conference leaders in indi-
vidual blocking.

It’s a 1-2 punch Flory believes
can cause opponents fits.

“We’ve been connecting with
the middles well recently,” Flory
said, “But (tonight’s) game will be
won or lost at the net — blocking is
goingl to be the key to life in this
matc .”

The UK men’s soccer team
takes a step outside of Mid—Ameri-
can Conference play Sunday at 2
p.m. when they take on regional
opponent VVisconsin-Green Bay.

UK head coach Ian Collins said
it couldn’t come at a better time.

“\Ve need a break from MAC
action,” Collins said.

weekend’s victories over Eastern
Michigan and rival Bowling
Green. UK is 4—0 in the MAC and
has won five in a row.

However, Collins worries
about his team’s current psycho-
logical standing.

“1 think it’s impossible to play a
lot of games consecutively and be
emotionally ready to lay every
big game," Collins said). “But it’s
my job to make sure they focus,
and they will."

Following last weekend’s
games, Collins rewarded his team
with three days off. Yesterday
marked the team’s first time on
the field since Sunday’s ame.

“They’re looking liEe they’ve
had three days off,” Collins said.
“By Sunday, the "11 be looking like
they haven’t ha three days off. By
(today), they’ll be wishing they
hadn’t had three days off."

UVVGB has an influx of sopho-
mores, much like UK. The team
only has three seniors, and both of
its listed goalkee ers are fresh-
men. Thev startetfout the season
3—0-1, before going seven games
without a victory. They won their
last game against \Vestern Illinois
1-0.

“They’re a little inconsistent,”
Collins said.

“We definitely expect a game
out of them. As our results get
better, we become more of a tar—
get for other teams.”

UWGB is led in scoring by
junior Jason \Veier, a junior for—
ward, with six points on three
goals. Overall, eight players have
scored for them.

UK and UVVGB both play an
attacking, pushing, pressing style
of soccer. One difference lies in
the fact that UVVGB has a distinct

height advantage, offering them
more opportunities to play the ball
in the air.

“We have to come prepared
and ready for a game that doesn’t
suit us, but something that, as time
goes on, we’ve got to get better
at,” Collins said.

The Cats have a weekend of
grave importance coming up.

They are slated to face confer-
ence leader Marshall on Friday,
then go against perennial power
Akron Sunday.

Collins has faith that his team
will not count their victories
before they’re had.

“This is a big game,” Collins
said. '

“There will be no talk around
our locker room about Marshall,
there will be no talk of Akron, the
talk this week will be all VViscon-
sm.”

IISIIBI‘S 111 new era

How times have changed.

Last year at this time the VVild-
cats were thinking repeat with
then-coach Rick Pitino.

The returning players were still
basking in the honor of being the
national champions and the new
pla ers were proud to take on the
task] of helping them defend the
title.

It all occurred in Memorial
Coliseum under the name of Big
Blue Madness at an earlier time of
8 p.m. rather than the traditional
midnight time slot for Midnight
Madness.

The theme was “Back to Tradi—
tion:”

This year there is a new coach,
new time, new theme and even
some new players.

“We always look forward to
this time of year. It's for the fans.
It’s going to be great, a new team
and a new coach. It will be excit—
ing," said Sandy Boyken, assistant
director of Marketing Promotions

SPOB'I'Shytes

about this weekend’s Midnight
Madness.

This weekend Cat fans will
receive their much anticipated
introduction to new head coach
Tubby Smith.

The Madness begins at mid-
night when the team and coaches
are introduced. The theme this
year is, “Late Night with the
Cats.”

Before the introductions and
jam sessions, the crowd can partic—
ipate in contests.

There will be Wildcat fans
demonstrating some of their
unusual tricks.

The people participatin in this
event have already signedgup but
the Wildcat trivia and current
events questioning will include the
crowd.

Others picked out of the crowd
can also enjoy pizza—eating con—
tests down on the court.

There will be even more enter—
tainment provided by the
majorettes, cheerleaders and the
pom squad.

Following the introductions the
players will run drills and scrim-
mage.

The doors to the Coliseum
open at 11 p.m.

Tickets sold out earlier this
week.

Soccer women on the road

The UK women’s soccer team
attempts to end a three game los—
ing streak with road battles against
Mississippi State and Ole Miss.

Although the Wildcats have
dropped their last three games,
UK (5—8-1 overall, 3-1 Southeast—
ern Conference) has been success—
ful in the SEC, winning its last
three conference games.

“We’ve got go out and win our
last six games and it starts on Fri—
day against Mississippi State,” said
UK head coach Warren Lipka.

“We’ve been to the NCAA
Tournament the past two years
and we’ve got to realize that we’re
a marked team.

Mississippi State (10-2-1, 2-2)
enters today’s game in the midst of
a five ame winning streak and are
tied or second in the SEC’s
Western Division.

On Sunday afternoon, the
Wildcats travel to Oxford, Miss.,
for a battle against fellow SEC
West opponent Ole Miss.

Bail memories
tuel Bats' shot
at retribution

By Price Atkinson
Senior Stafl Writer

Three years ago, little known
Northeast Louisiana University
defeated UK 21-14, handing the
Cats an unexpected ninth straight
loss.

Senior Bainidele Ali remembers
Nov. 12, 1994, a Saturday after-
noon at Commonwealth Stadium
just like it was yesterday.

“Clyde Rudolph getting tackled
on the one—yard line, on the last
play of the game and them running
onto our field celebratin their
first Southeastern Conference
win,” Ali said.

UK will get a second stab at
NLU on Saturday in a 7 p.m.
Homecoming contest when the
Cats host a struggling band of
Indians.

For NLU head coach Ed Zaun—
brecher, the trip to Lexington still
lingers.

“It was a great memory for us
because it was a bi win for the
program,” Zaunbrec er said.

Few players remain from either
team but UK senior offensive
guard john Schlarman said the

ame reflected on the Cats’ trou-
les of the 1—10 season.

“It was a game we were sup-
posed to win,” Schlarman said.
“For whatever reasons, we didn’t
come out on top.

“There is just a bad taste in my
mouth from that entire season, but
I try to put it behind me.”

Ali agreed the past is behind
him.

“VVe’ve played them once,” Ali
said. “It was three years ago so I’m
sure a lot has changed.”

The Indians (2—5), play as an
NCAA Division I-A Independent
because they are not a member
institution of a particular confer-
ence. NLU schedules many of the
NCAA’s top ranked teams to fill
out its 11 ame schedule.

Since t e last meeting with UK,
NLU ha
