Students enjoying football’s upswing By Doc Purcell Staff Writer The UK football team has wal< lowed near the cellar of Southeast- ern Conference football for as long as many University students care to remember. This year though. after nearly a decade of hapless play, the Cats fi- nally have given the student body something to cheer about. earning an invitation to the Peach 80w] in Atlanta on New Years‘ Eve. In an area where basketball re- cruiting rivals football as the fans‘ second-favorite autumn sport most UK students are embracing a Wild- cat program that they believe is on the rise, given the bowl selection. “1 think it gives them a big boost. It gives them national coverage , Maybe we cart get some more top recruits." physical education fresh- man Scott Maze said of the benefits the Wildcats will reap from their appearance in post-season play. Maze's predictions of national exposure and gaining the attention of top prep prospects across the country are perhaps the most glar~ ing advantages of bowl play. as nu— merous other UK students con- curred with his opinions. Still. it is the excitement that has surrounded the UK team this year that makes a bowl bid so special.

The top 25 contributors to the campaign were recognized last By Rob Thorne Staff Writer The Student Government Associ- ation will try to bring a conserva- ' tive speaker to campus next semes- ter. Speakers Bureau chairwoman Shellie Freeland announced yester- day. At an open forum. Freeland asked the 16 students in attendmoe for suggestions about possible speakers and annormced the three SGA has already been considering. Rush Limbaugh. the popular ra— dio and television personality. US.

After the final total was an- nounced. the UK Pep Band and the UK cheerleaders joined Wethington and the children on stage to lead the crowd in cheers of “Go United Way." The 85-member UK chorus opened the presentation with a ren- dition of “America, the Beautiful.“ Winston Faircloth, president of United Way of the Bluegrass. said a series of town meetings in the com- munity and at local businesses will be set up in the next year to help people learn more about the United Way and its services. Rights Amendment. were the three choices Freeland said she is look- ing into now. Freeland said the SGA budget and the availability of the speaker probably will be the deciding fac- tors in choosing among the three. but she noted that student and stu- dent organization interest will be important “('The) speaker (who) speaks on a variety issues and will appeal to a wide variety of people will be the one we choose." Freeland said. Representatives from Alpha Ep- silon Delta. a medical fraternity. suggested bringing (‘.. Everett Coop. a surgeon general during the Reagan administration.

SGA seeks conservative speaker Limbaugh, Kemp, Schlafly named as possible picks for spring lecture Braun. the SGA presidential press secretary. suggested inviting any former member of the judiciary. Freeland said she would look into those suggestions only if Lim- baugh. Kemp and Schlafly were unavailable or out of SGA‘s price range. Business junior Lincoln Farish complained during the forum that the bureau has waited too long to try to find a good. conservative speaker. “Most of the really good conser- vative speakers book engagements six to nine months in advance." Fan'sh said. But Freeland said she thought it was still “definitely possible” to get a quality speaker. last night‘s forum originally was scheduled for two weeks ago but was cancelled twice because of time conflicts. SGA President Lance Dowdy conceded that it may be getting late. “We should have done it earlier. but due to continutty problems from semester to semester, we don‘t know about budget con- straints." he said. Farish said he believed that was an excuse for not getting a quality conservative speaker. He said he has only seen one conservative speaker since coming to UK and said that track record is “inherently unfair to the students of UK.“ Braun agreed: “SGA hasn't brought anyone conservative in a kmg time." Freeland said she had no control over that because she took over the position in July but said she wanted to start a policy of bringing in one conservative and one liberal speak- er each year. Freeland said SGA would make its final announcement of who will be speaking sometime before the end of this semester. what changes he would make and personal infonnation. “It wasn‘t so much the particular words said or answers given as it was the chemistry between him and the board," Riordan said.

Second-ranked UK leamed that and several other lessons last night as an older, more experienced Aus- tralia National Team sent the Cats down under 94-85. "We just got schooled by a much better basketball team," said UK coach Rick Pitino. "We‘re a very young and inexperienced team." The Aussies. whose starting five averaged 25 years of age, put their wisdom to work by repeatedly breaking UK's press for easy lay- ups and getting to the foul line 56 times. The Cats, meanwhile, shot only 40 percent from the floor and committed 19 tumovers. Still, the young Cats almost up- staged their elders. Australia led by l7 with eight minutes to play. The Cats then an- swered by tightening the defense and using a 15-1 run to make it 80- 77. But UK would get no closer as it missed key layups and open three- pointers while allowing Australia to go to the free-throw line. “We started to make a run. but then we made the same dumb mis- takes we were making earlier," Cats' forward Jared Prickett said. Despite the loss, Pitino was exu- berant after the game. "I loved this game, the coach said. “All the guys played hard. We‘re a green basketball team, but we hustle like heck." Pitino said his players should learn valuable lessons from the first n JAMES CRISPKornel Std! 'lHODE HOME: UK's Rodrick Rhodes dunks against Austra- lia last night at Rupp Arena. loss at Rupp Arena since January 1992. The most important lesson would be good shot selection. UK shot just 6 of 30 from three- point range for the game. Pitino said he thought his players rushed their shots when they cut the lead to three with three minutes to play. “I don‘t know if we took bad shots.“ point guard Travis Ford said. “I think we just got a little carried away." last night‘s game also continued the learning process of sophomore Rodrick Rhodes. who came out blazing iii the first half. but fialed in the second. He finished with 16 points and seven assists, but also committed seven tumovers on the night. “He played like Magic Johnson," Pitino said. “Then he got kind of caught up in it. He‘s halfway there." UK looked like it was there in the first half. The Cats led by as much as nine in the opening stanza after a Rhodes slam and 21 Walter McCarty layup. But then the Aussies, led by guards Scott Ninnis and Shane Heal, began to pick apart the UK press .and nail shots from the out- back. Ninnis and Heal combined for 23 points over the hall’s last six min- utes. The Cats. meanwhile, missed 10 of 13 three-pointers as Australia took a 50-38 lead into halftime. Former Seton Hall star Andrew Gaze led Australia with 22 points. 17 in the second half. Ford and Rodney Dent had 17 each for UK. Australia improved to 5-1 on its exhibition tour. Its lone loss came Monday against Virginia 76-75. UK opens the season Saturday against No. 7 Louisville. Are the Cats ready? “We'll see Saturday." Pitino said. Note: McCarty scored two points in 11 minutes in his Rupp Arena debut. The sophomore sat out last season for academic reasons and missed the exhibition against Athletes in Action for an NCAA rules viola- tion. Seniors leave on a sweet note Stove McSorley Kernel Columnist After their final home match of the regular season against Tennes- see on Saturday night. UK volley- ball seniors Jane Belanger, Ann Hall and Eunice Thomas decided they wanted to give their families and fans one more memory. But, instead of doing that for which they are known best —— su- perlative passing. digging and spik- ing of the volleyball — they hud— dled around a microphone and sang the national anthem. A memory that those who heard them sing might not soon forget. The memories on the court that the three have given to UK volley- ball over the past five years will not be forgotten anytime soon ei— ther. Setter Jane Belanger will f'm- ish her career second on the all- time assist list. ()utside hitter Ann Hall will leave UK as the all—time dig leader, and middle blocker Eu— nice Thomas will finish her career high on UK's attack percentage list. Belanger. Hall and Thomas play different positions on the court. come from different backgrounds and have different personalities. But this rare heart and desire that they share has united them through their careers to preserve the high standard of play that has been UK volleyball over the years. Of the three. Thomas has had it the hardest. A natural leader with very close ties to her family. she has been forced to overcome many things in her young life. Raised by her grandmother in in- ner-city Chicago, Thomas had a hard time making the transition from her all-black neighborhood to the predominantly white Lexington. She almost returned home after her freshman year because of racial problems that she was experiencing at UK. Thomas fought the problem that faced her and stayed. At times misunderstood, Thom- as' personality can give the impres- sion to those that do not know her that she is only concemed for her- self. but she is not. She can be very outspoken. but only to emphasize a point she feels is important. Belanger. on the other hand, came from an athletic family. Her father was a two-sport star in col- lege. and two of her three sisters at- tended college on athletic scholar- ships. Like Thomas, she is a quiet per- son. Belanger always seems to make the right decision. She gets to balls that most setters can‘t and sets her teammates with accuracy. It is not surprising that she was ranked iii the top 10 in the nation for her position the past two years. Belanger is the ideal team player. always trying to do what is best for the team and not for herself. Her goals are mostly team goals: win- ning the SEC toumamcnt. making it to the Final Four anti winning a national title. PREFERRED 4-'|'0-I OVER BARKLEY’S ELBOWS BY OPPONEN'I'S' FACES. COURT SPORTS Corner of S. Limestone & Euclid Mon—Sat10—7 Sun 1-6 0255-5127 While Belanger and Thomas ap- pear to be quiet and focused most of the time, Ann Hall is the exact always smiling, laugh- ing and enjoying herself. She does not let anything stop her. Hall. a fifth-year senior. is the all time dig leader at UK with 1,294. Redshirted last season because of a knee injury. she has come back in 1993 to help lead the Cats. A severe injury is something that many athletes have a problem re- covering from mentally. Not Hall. as former head coach Kathy De- Boer and teammate Betsie Al- dridge found out. Now an associate athletic direc- tor at UK, DeBoer had visited sev- eral players after surgery over the years, and told Aldridge to expect Hall to be depressed. But. before they walked into her hospital room. they heard her laughing with her mother. DeBoer first thought the surgery had not taken place, but it had. Hall’s per- sonality didn't change. Listed at 5-foot-6 in the media guide, she is one of the smallest front-row outside hitters in Divi- sion I. Overall. these three players are in a class by themselves. Each. in her own way. has been a role model for future athletes at UK. Both on the court and in the classroom, excellence is the best adjective used to describe them. The music that they made on the volleyball court throughout their careers was as beautiful as the way they sang the national anthem on Saturday night.

WEIIMI “Rejoice in the Lord.” —Pulm 33:1 UK-U of L: A rivalry like like no other Eric Mosolgo Kernel Columnist UK-Louisvillc: three days and counting. The clock is ticking for Sat- urday afternoon's renewal of the college basketball rivalry that has no rival. When the Cats and Cards take the court each year for their annual skirmish, at cm- sade-type urgency sweeps the through the air. Expect no less as the national cameras of CBS zbom in on Rupp Arena this weekend. As rivalries go, this one ranks right with the classics. The Hatfields and McCoys. Batman and the Joker. The Roadrunner and the Coyote. None of these have any- thing on UK-U of L. To fully comprehend this ri~ valry based on hate, one must reflect on a time more than a decade ago when UK-U of L games were no more than a figment of the imagination. In those days, UK coach Joe B. Hall thwarted all attempts by U of L to initiate a series between the two schools. After losing NCAA first- round games in 1981 and 1982, however. Hall’s popu- larity was at an all-time low in Wildcat Country. The fastest selling items in Lexington fol- lowing UK's inexplicable loss to Middle Tennessee in 1982 were bumper stickers reading “Joe Be Gone." Basketball fans in the Blue- grass got their Dream Game in the following season's NCAA tournament. as the Cats and Cards both advanced to the Mideast Region finals in Knoxville, Tenn. Immediately, the quiet Ten- nessee city at the foot of the Smoky Mountains trans- formed into a bastion of hype. With a trip to the Final Four and a state’s pride as the re- ward, stakes were high in this ODG (Original Dream Game). As the massive flock of Kentuckians wandered the Tennessee campus in search of tickets on gameday. local snipers outside of Knox- ville's Stokely Athletic Center must have thought they were in the middle of a dream se- quence. Prime seats reportedly sold for as much as 3400. As CBS opened its broad- cast, UK reserve Bret Bearup proclaimed “This isn't a game. This is war." When the game finally be- gan, the two teams proved that the hype was justified. This English language we speak lacks the adequate superla- tives necessary to describe the pulsating drama that emanated from this epic confrontation. In the end. the Cards won. but nobody lost This game provided Kentuckians with images that don‘t fade. Since the game in Knox- ville. UK has dominated the Cards, winning 8 of the 11 meetings in the series. Like the prelude to the 1986 UK-U of L clash, when then- Wildcat coach Eddie Sutton said the Cardinal program was “like the little brother fighting for recognition from the big brother" when compared to UK. Every bit the prophet. Sut- ton sat on the bench at Free- dom Hall and watched his Cats maul the Cards 85-51. So much for getting along. What will be the final result of this week‘s meatrics?

Thanksgiving meal needs reformation ' Alan Aja Contributing Columnist Ah, yes! The smell of the turkey roasting in the oven, the steam ris- ing from the sweet potatoes. the scent of pumpkin pie and the cheap frills you get when you actually think your parents are going to share their champagne with you. (‘an you wait for those mo- ments? I can. The only thing Thanksgiving ever does for me is give me a ma- jor Maalox moment. As for what it does for others. I seem to notice them somewhere between five and 20 pounds heavier when they re- turn after the holiday. And the funny thing is, winter break hasn't even come yet; you know, it's like a never-ending fast— feast buffet, with Thanksgiving acting as a small pep-talk. But wait a minute. Doesn't the same old menu for Thanksgiving ever get old? Am I the only one here who would prefer Big Macs over turkey and stuffing, chili over sweet pota— toes, Miracle Whip over gravy, and a whole week off from school rath- er than two days? (‘ome on, fellow college stu- dents. isn't it time we made a ma- jor change over a so-called “tradi- tion"? Find the place in history that said the Pilgrims and the American Indians shared Stove-Top stuffing. Here's another stumper. Did they really eat a turkey? 'Ihe illus~ tranns in history books I grew up with showed something like a cross between a rooster and a pea- cock. If you remember those, too, can I get an “Amen"? Then the winter holidays come around. and your mother smiles and says, "We ran out of turkey." You sigh in relief, but then she grins and says, “But we bought a new one for the holidays, it‘s even bigger.“ You can't take it anymore. You head back to UK for the next se- mester and guess what‘s on special at UK food services? You guessed it — turkey sandwiches. So what should we do about this form of torture? I have two sugges— tions: become vegetarians or go home for Thanksgiving. eat the meal. return to UK and don't go home until you think the turkey is nothing but a skeleton. And as for changing the grand old tradition of the typical turkey and gravy Thanksgiving meal. I change my mind. There‘s no way to change. Americans are too ig— norant to realize that they‘re suffer- ing. I did think that us college folk could start a small revolt by spend- ing Thanksgian at McDonald's. But then it hit me; they were sucked in by tradition, too. McDo- nald's won't be open that day. Alan Aja is a journalism fresh- man and a Kentucky Kernel con- tributing columnist. JJJJ The Afghan Whigs Gentlemen Elektra Records By Brian Manley Assistant Arts Editor Continuing in the same tradition they have set on previous albums, The Afghan Wigs have belted out another CD that resembles a study in the grittier sides of life and rela- tionships. Not a cliche-ridden, three-minute pop band, the Whigs have taken a wisely executed trip through what seems to be, at times, a sunless side of rock. Formed when guitarist Rick McCollum met vocalist Greg Dulli after both had been arrested at a party and thrown in the same cell, the band was rounded out with drummer Steve Earle and bassist John Curley. Based in Cincinnati, the group Sherman‘s Alley :, .’ ' "x r ' soon released its self-financed de- but Big Top Halloween in 1987. It has since released three albums on Sub Pop, making Gentlemen the group‘s long-awaited major label debut. I)ulli‘s lyrics comprise one of the highlights of Gentlemen, flow- ing as a stream of consciousness rather than the overused rhyming couplets to which most lyricists confine themselves. It looks like he just sat down and wrote what he felt, not what verse would match what chorus. Maybe that’s what gives Gentle— men such an honest sound. The band isn‘t out to beg for radio play (something it's receiving regard- less). It has put a realistic show— case of true ideas in song onto this disc and has avoided the trap of writing what everyone else thinks will sound good In what could loosely be dubbed a “ballad," “When We Two Part- ed" creeps at a snail's pace, but isn't a gush‘laden love tune. Dulli stirs a haunting melody line built on a rhythm of dissonance and lyri- cal pain. Sounding exactly like early Soul Asylum (yes. the group has albums other than Grave Dancers Union), Dulli jumps from the harmonic to the harsh in a very effective way on the track “What Jail Is Like." The song exemplifies the type of lyrical writing in which Dulli en- gages, describing what it is like be- ing trapped in a unsatisfying relzr tionship. This tone overcasts the entire al- bum, carefully melding the joys and despairs of human relation- ships into bittersweet melodies Besides being David I’imerlike on some tracks. Dulli‘s voice sometimes slips into a tone similar to Widespread Panic's John Bell. Dulli can lead the band with his unpredictability, running through a series of emotions within one song.
