Midnight show
goes ‘Batty'

who slammed it through the hoop
with a ferocity that brought a
packed house to its feet in awe.

Signs of things to come?

Perhaps, but a quick glimpse of
the future wasn’t quite all you
could glean from UK’s Midnight
Madness in the wee hours of yes—
terday morning.

A Hollywood~style glitzfest not
unlike the “Batman" movies it was
named for, “Cat Fan Forever”
provided few on—court facts about
the 1995-96 Cats. It was, after all,
the first practice of the season.

What it did provide were a few
laughs, some slick highlight video
clips and a homage to UK fans
that set off the standing-room
only crowd, as a jersey embla-
zoned with No. I was unveiled in
honor of what UK coach Rick
Pitino called “the number one fans
in the nation.”

Madness had all that, and a
pretty frightening introduction for
UK’s All~America candidates,
“'altcr Mc(iiarty and Tony Delk.
The Cats’ top two returning scor—
ers ~— decked out in full Batman
and Robin gear — risked life and
limb to drop in via trapeze—like
gadgets attached to the ceiling.

Holy anterior cruciate liga—
ments, Batmanl

Like the dynamic duo them-
selves, though, McCarty and Delk
executed a near-perfect landing,
and shortly thereafter, the hour-
and-lS—minute-long main event
began, with the Cats running
drills, tossing down dunks and
scrimmaging for 20 minutes.

As you’d expect, UK was less
than smooth in the scrimmage, as
the Blue team, featuring McCarty,
Delk, Mercer, Antoine \Valker,
Turner, Jeff Sheppard and Nazr
Mohammed, got blown off the
court by a \Vhite team of Derek
Anderson, Mark Pope, Allen
Edwards, Cameron Mills, Antho-
ny Epps, Jared Prickett, Jason
Lathrem and ()liver Simmons.

That’s solid evidence that Mid—
night Madness gives the easyochair
analysts little to work with. Some
observations on what you actually
could learn from the Madness:

VNIcCarty, whom Pitino called
a “future top-IO pick in the NBA
draft,” is heavier. Mohammed is
not. Pitino lauded McCarty for
bulking up — from 168 as a fresh—
man to 228 entering his senior
season — and freshman
Mohammed for trimming from
310 to 24‘) since arriving at UK.

Also noticeably trimmer was
Pope, who entered last season list—
ed at 240 pounds. Pope has shed
pounds, it seems, in favor ofinch-
es — on his vertical.

Featured in his Madness reper-
toire were a pair of blocked shots
and a distinctly un—Popelike rock—

MAJESTIC Virginia Leigh Cunningham and Kenneth Mudd were eluted at

UK} I 995 Homeroming royalty.

By Aaron 0. Hall
Stafl~ l/Vriter

The Cats dominated the playing field in
a victory against LSU while Virginia Leigh
Cunningham and Kenneth Mudd reigned
during the half—time when they were
crowned king and queen.

“I couldn't believe it," said 21-year-old
Cunningham. “I was so thrilled."

Cunnin ham’s roommate, Holly Sears,
served as t is years’ Homecoming royalty
co-chairwoman.

“She knew the results (of the winner) on
Thursday,” Cunningham said, “and she
kept it a secret.”

Even though Cunnin ham belongs to
the Chi Omegas, one of the largest organi—
zations on campus, she said that all of them
could not have voted for her. The Chi—Os
sponsored two other candidates.

Cunningham attributed some of her
votes to the friends of her twin and younger
sister.

“It’s such an honor that I have so many
friends and so many people who felt that I
could represent the University," said the
Homecoming queen.

Cunningham, a communication senior
from Hopkinsville, Ky., works as an intern
in UK’s Admissions Department and serves
as coordinator for UK’s Student Ambas—
sador Program. She is also vice president of
the Panhellenic Council, a member of the
Mortar Board Leadership Society and the
Omicron Delta Kappa Honor Society.

She said she would like to continue
working for UK when she graduates, but
“graduate school is a possibility."

After the runner-ups had been chosen, it
was obvious to Cunningham who the win-

ners were, but not to the king.

“I hadn’t realized what was going on,”
said Mudd, who missed the royal court
practice. “We got out of the carriage and
walked to the 50—yard-line. The queen next
to me grabbed my arm and started jumping
up and down. She said ‘we won.’

Mudd, a 21-year-old biology senior
from Louisville, Ky., is a member of Pi
Kappa Alpha fraternity, the Alpha Epsilon
Delta Honor Society and the Collegians for
Academic Excellence chapter.

In his essay, Mudd said that UK has
given him lifelong communication skills
that he will take with him beyond college.

He said he benefited from working two
years as a resident adviser in Kirwan II.

“Having that experience helped me to
work with other people,” he said. “I plan on
supporting UK once I’m an alumni.”

Mudd was sponsored by Delta Delta
Delta social sorority.

“Everything went really well,” said
Homecoming Chairwoman Gannon
Green, although the block party and the
bonfire did not fare well with students.

Green said that rain and this being the
first year for both events were factors.

Greek organizations Alpha Xi Delta,
Delta Zetas and the Phi Gamma Deltas
joined together and in a week built a win—
ning float for the parade.

Their float was equipped with Showgirls,
a roulette wheel, walking cards and Elvis.

The win did not come easily. As they
were walking between the towers and
Donovan Hall, their tape had stopped.

While the crowd gave them strange
looks, Wilson said that they laughed.

The Chi-Os “yelled like hell” at the
judges to win first place at \Vildcat Roar.

There was confusion and disorder in this year’s
Homecoming elections, which caused quite a stir on
South Campus.

In one instance, the people who were sup osed to
set up‘and oversee the voting areas were v0 unteers
who simply did not show up, said Gannon Green,

According to residents of the Kirwan/Blanding
Complex, 3 lot of votes were lost due to the irrespon-
sibility of these volunteers.

“We were told that we could vote in Commons on
Wednesday or Thursday night and nobody was there
on either night,” said undeclared sophomore Aman—
da Lewis.

“It was a real inconvenience for a lot of people and
it prevented many of us from voting.”

In addition, there was also confusion in the voting
process at Lexin on Community Colle e because
the were only al owed one day to vote. Since LCC
ha a candidate, some students felt that they should
have had two days of voting.

“They were only here for one day and a lot of stu-
dents didn‘t know an hing about the candidates
until it was over,” sai Charlene Walker, a Home-
comin royalty judge and student support counselor

NATIIIIII Black men gather
for Million Man March

WASHINGTON — Black men converging on
the nation’s capital for today’s Million Man March
described it as a unifying, uplifting event that tran-
scends its controversial originator, Nation of Islam
leader Louis Farrakhan.

The event, actually more of a rally and prayer
meeting than march, is called “a day of atonement
and reconciliation." Supporters describe it as a call
for black men to take responsibility for their own
lives and families, and to dedicate themselves to
fighting the scourges of drugs, violence and unem—
p oyment.

Organizers asked women — and men who can’t
come to the rally — to stay home from work or
school to mark a “holy day," and to avoid spending
any money as a demonstration of black economic
power. No one knows how many will take part.

The idea originated with Farrakhan, and he has
been its chief organizer, with the help of ousted
NAACP chief Benjamin Chavis Jr.

Simpson jurors working on new hook

LOS ANGELES — Two of the jurors who
acquitted OJ. Simpson are working day and night
on a book they hope will set the public straight
about what went on during months of sequestra-
tion and the short deliberations.

“I'm very anxious to get this out. Some of the
things they (the media and commentators) are say-
ing is ridiculous. There was no race issue in the
decision," juror Gina Rosborough said in a tele-
phone interview yesterday.

Rosborou h and Brenda Moran are hoping for a
mid—NovemEer release date for “Inside the Simp-
son Ju ' (The Parallel Universe),” said Bud Stew-
art, spo esman for Advanced Books.

It will be based on their trial journals and diaries
kept during nine months of sequestration.

The weather outside Memorial

in their lawn chairs.

Inside, however, the atmo-

Hundreds of home team fans
were present, snazzy contests for
entertainment were held, and the
top two teams in the Southeastern
Conference’s Eastern Division,
Georgia and UK, were playing.

The Wildcat mascot was there
to liven up the player introduc—
tions, and UK basketball player
Walter McCa was there to sing
the national ant em. Perfect.

One squad had to lose, and that
squad was the Wildcats, who went
down 13-15, 13-15, 15-11, 11-15.
Nearly perfect.

Coming into the match, Geor-

the Bulldo raised their record to

Friday’s game was highlighted
by a pair of goals from center Paul

East. The division’s leader. Flori-
da, was undefeated entering week-
end competition.

The Wildcats travel to South
Carolina and Florida this week-
end, and play Georgia in Athens
in two weeks.

But Ralston-Flory didn’t have
too many complaints about her
team’s performance.

“We played a really good,
tough match,” she said.

The atmosphere?

“It was a great, a perfect envi—
ronment to play the way we need-
ed to play,” Ralston-Flory said.

Junior Ainsley Grimes had 79
assists against Geor ia, bettering
her previous persona best by one.

“I didn’t even know it,” she
said, shortly after the game ended.

She was smiling. The loss was
disappointing, she said, but

“We lost and we played really
well,” Grimes said.

Sophomore Cynthia Dozier
tallied 27 kills while junior Gina
Heustis added 26. Outside hitter
Molly Dreisbach also played well
contributing 21 kills and 21 digs.

By Ralston—Flory’s account,
UK owned the outside areas of the
net on both offense (92 kills) and
defense (50 block assists).

But Georgia exploited UK’S

“His history has been when he

All 51,500 fans in Common-

leads both the Cats and the South—

yards, stayed on the turf after being
hit in the ribs on a second qttarter

()ffense sells tickets, defense
wins championships.

\Vhile UK is not in the running
for either the Southeastern Con-
ference or national championships,
the Cats‘ defense came up with the
big plays and held LSU's offense to
205 yards while preserving a 24-16
victory Saturday night.

In doing so, the defense erased
sortie of the questions that arose
after giving up 584 yards ofoffense
to Au urn Sept. 30.

“They played sensational," L’K
head coach Bill Curry said, “LSU
has a great offense and to keep
them out ofthe endzone repeated--
ly is sensational."

LSU (3—4-1, 2—2-1 SliC)
entered the game boastingr sortie of
the to ) offensive talent in the SEC,
including wide receivers Sheddt'ick
Wilson and Eddie Kennison. The
Tigers also have explosive potential
in freshmen tailbacks Kevin Faulk
and Kendall Cleveland.

But the UK defense managed to
shut those players down, taking the
big play out of the Tiger’s offense.

“I would have never thought
that we could hold LSU, with such
good skill players,” UK cornerback
Van Hiles said. “Those players can
turn a five—yard out into a 95-yard
touchdown."

Perhaps the extra week to pre-
pare allowed the Cats (3-3, 2—3)
time to fine—tune their defense or
maybe Curry's squad is simply
gaining more confidence.

“I'm not surprised (that we held
LSU),” UK linebacker Lamont
Smith said.

“I'm sure that other people are

 

 

 

surprised, btit we know we could
do it."

LSU‘s passing game, which had
become a major part of its offense,
struggled under the direction of
Melvin Hill, who was replacing the
injuredjamie Howard.

“Obviously, LSU was very
wounded with the loss of l Toward,"
Curry said. “But we’ve played
against Hill before and he
whooped us."

“\Ve didn’t throw the ball very
well or very much," LSU coach
Gerry DiNardo said. “I think any-
time you replace a starter, it is
going to have an effect.”

The Cats’ secondary of Reggie
Rusk, Steven Hall, Leman Boyd,
George Harris and lliles played
well in shuttinrr down \Vilson and
Kennison, holding them to a corti-
hined three catches for 23 yards.

LSU totalled just 71 yards pass—
ing on the night.

It was Hiles who ended any
hopes LSU had of tying the game
by intercepting Hill‘s pass at the

“lt's always satisfying when you

LSU was plagued by the inabili—

Tigers had to settle for field goals

“\\'e as a defense try to feed off

the ball over, giving LSU prime

That's some backup

\Vith W'illiams on the sidelines,
McLaurin used the rare playing
time to show why he was once the
No. l on the depth chart at tail-
back. He rushed for 107 yards and
the Cats go—ahead touchdown in
the fourth quarter.

“I knew Ray could get the job
done,“ Williams said.

When the Cats needed a first

down late in the game to run the
clock out, McLaurin delivered,
rushing four consecutive times for
gains of 1], one, six and six yards.
On one occasion he even leaped
over the defense to reach the first
down marker.

“I think ifl live to be 1,000,1‘ll
never have a greater memory than
Ray McLaurin jumping up in the
air to get that first down," Curry
said.
