Air Raid on the rise

Flock of students: Attendance figures show
football games are growing in popularity

By Travis Feldliaus
CONTRIBUTING NRITER

If a recent report from the
UK Athletics is any indication,
students are trading three-point
shots and dunks for touchdown
passes and fake ﬁeld goals. From
the 1994-95 season to the 1996-97
season, student attendance for
men’s basketball dropped steadi-
ly before leveling off during the
1997-98 season.

During the 199596 season. av-
erage student attendance to UK
basketball games dropped 43 per-

cent. Also. the 199697 average
basketball attendance dropped
another 30 percent.

Meanwhile. the average stu-
dent attendance for football games
dropped sharply in 1996 but re-
bounded considerably soon after.

After a 33 percent decline in
student attendance at football
games in 1996, the average stu-
dent attendance increased 41 per-
cent in 1997 with the arrival of
Coach Hal Mumme, Mumme’s
his high-octane offense and the
emergence of former quarterback

Tim Couch.

The average football student
attendance increased by nearly 2
percent in 1998, a season in which
UK made its first bowl appear—
ance since 1993.

Sophomore fullback Derek
Homer said student attendance at
the games helps the team.

“It helps a lot when we hear
all the students out there during
the games,“ Homer said. “It‘s
great to have all the other fans
cheering for us, but when you
have all those students support-
ing you in the stands. it means a
little extra.”

Powell calls
for effort to

Build kids, not jails: Former chairman of
Joint Chiefs brings advice to Rupp crowd

STAFF REPORT

Retired Gen. Colin Powell came to Rupp Arena last Thurs

day to talk about “The American Dream,“

and a better world for

“Let's stop building jails and get back to building our chil-

dren.“ he said.

Children’s futures was the theme of Powell‘s speech. which
focused on deprived and misled children.

“(Children in the United States) need to have better things
to do after school than to sit at home and watch ‘Jerry

Springer,
more health care."

he said. “We’re working with the government to get

Powell noted that LensCrafters has offered one million free
eye exams and eye glasses for children who cannot afford them.
He said he is serious about reversing the current situation

our children face.

“Mentors, plus safe places for our children to go equals com—
munity.” he said, “and children need a sense of community.“

He said the best part of his book. My American Journey.
was how he told about the American dream story of communi~

ty, family and a value system.

“Believe in God. hard work and education, and believe in
yourself. These are universal ideas of the American dream.“

Powell was one of 12 speakers who were part of the Peter
Lowe International “The Success Authority“ Conference. The
organization seeks to make a positive impact on society by help-
ing people of all backgrounds realize their potential for success.

The group provided a daylong seminar with several
speakers. including Dick Vitale. Zig Ziggler, Larry King (via
satellite), and former president and first lady George and Bar-

bara Bush.

Audiences at both FirstStar Center in Cincinnati and in
Lexington saw all speakers through a simulcast.

Most support NATO campaign

A solid majority: LCC students’ poll
shows Clinton, others on the slide

By Lisa L Greg
STAFF WRITER

Central Kentuck-
ians, especially those in
Fayette County, support
the U.S. policy of leading
NATO in the bombing
campaign against Yu-
goslavia, according to a
poll conducted by Lex-
ington Community Col-
lege students.

Forty-eight percent
of frequent voters sur-
veyed in Fayette and sur-
rounding counties back
the current effort, al-
though they do not sup
port the possible re-en-
actment of the draﬁ.

LCC students helped
poll 1,377 central Ken-
tuckians from April 7 to
16. Those surveyed ap-
peared on a list of fre-
quent voters. Usually
they had voted at least

six times in the last 12
elections.

Although the U.S.
Armed Forces have
failed to meet its enlist.
ment goals, 65 percent of
those surveyed do not
want to see the return of
the draft.

“It seems that people
would rather spend their
money to help the mili-
tary," said Tim Cantrell,
a political science profes-
sor at LCC who has his
students conduct the pub
lic survey each semester.

Cantrell's poll results
supported this statement.
In response to his ques-
tions about military bud-
get cuts. 56 percent of
those surveyed agreed
that military spending
should be increased.

Those polled were
asked 13 questions deal-
ing with their political

views from international
to local issues.

With the proposal to
increase the Lexington-
Fayette Urban-County
Council terms from two
to four years, the public
is undecided with an
equal split.

Although Cantrell
doesn’t consider the poll
to be scientiﬁc, he has
found that in the last 11
years, the results have
been pretty accurate.

“Since we do poll fre
quent voters, we find
that our results match
closely with election
turnouts," Cantrell said.

The poll also be-
comes an important
teaching tool for the
classroom.

Cantrell's students
are able to examine the
poll results and ponder
the reasons behind them.
In another poll by
Cantrell, Clinton's rat-
ings as an outstanding
president have dropped 5
percent since last fall.

Cantrell’s students linked
the results to his involve-
ment with Kosovo and
the impeachment trial.

Cantrell said he be-
lieves polling also helps
his students develop
their political awareness.
and see how informed the
public may or may not be
about current issues.

“I found most of the
people that I talked to
were informed especially
about the NATO situa-
tion,” said Michael Tims.
a freshman at LCC.

Tims, who is taking
a political science course
for the first time. said he
found the assignment en-
joyable.

“I was having great
political discussions with
complete strangers."

Of those polled, 57
percent identified them-
selves as Democrats
while 38 percent are afﬁl-
iated with the Republi-
can party. The other 5
percent chose different
affiliations.

The recent shootings and
deaths at Columbine High
School in Colorado have put
worry and concern into the
minds of many everywhere,
and at UK as well.

Although UK Police Chief
Rebecca Langston said the Uni-
versity has not received many
threats over the last several
years. that doesn’t mean they
don't occur.

In fact, the circulation desk
at the William T. Young Li-
brary received a threatening
phone call Sunday night.

“It was a phone threat, but
it wasn’t a specific phone
threat," Langston said. She re-

Each response would be a
situational response based on the
particular incident.”

- Rebeca Langston, UK Police chief

UK does have a
plan for disaster

Keeping a vigilant eye out: Campus police,
University officials say they'd rally all the
troops in the event of a tragedy like Littleton

fused further comment, saying
police are continuing an inves
tigation.

The University has estab-
lished a protection plan known
as the UK Campus-Wide Emer-
gency Response Plan.

The plan, which was com-
pleted in the fall, includes every
part of the campus. including
the stadium.

And no one person on cam-
pus runs the program.

“Every component across
campus is involved." Langston
said.

UK Police handles all calls
and responds accordingly, she
said.

Although there are criteria
for determining when the plan
is carried out, Langston said

each response is based on the
situation at hand.

"Each response would be a
situational response based on
the particular incident."
Langston said.

“We would notify the Lex-
ington Police Department and
the Lexington Fire Department
and handle it depending on how
bad the situation was. We
would also notify any outside
help if necessary."

Joe Burch, vice president
for University Relations, said
the police chief would be the
person making the decisions in
the event of a tragedy like the
one in Colorado, as well as a
tornado. chemical spill or ﬁre.

“We would be seeking as-
sistance from local law ofﬁcials
as well." Burch said. “The Uni-
versity administration would
be involved if the situation was
long-term. but mainly would be
making decisions to assist stu~
dents and/or the police in any
way."

Belle sidelined with a hole in system

No race? Spirit of Jefferson to replace Belle
in the traditional Great Steamboat Race

ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOUISVILLE — A ﬂooded
hull didn‘t sideline the Belle of
Louisville from its Derby-week
race, but a tiny hole in the boil-
er system will.

The Belle will remain dock-
side for the Great Steamboat
Race because of the mechanical
flaw, but another riverfront
mainstay will take its place
Wednesday.

The Spirit of Jefferson will
carry the community's banner
against the Belle‘s rival, the
Delta Queen, race organizers
announced Sunday.

Mark Doty, the Spirit‘s cap-
tain, said he was ready for the
challenge.

“My boat is in tiptop
shape,” said Doty, who compet.
ed in plenty of steamboat races
as a former Belle crew member.

The Belle will miss the race
because of a pinhole unde-

tectable to the eye that was dis-
covered recently in the ship’s
boiler system.

Mike Fitzgerald, the Belle's
captain, said the slight ﬂaw
probably goes all the way back
to when the steel was manufac-
tured years ago.

“This is something that
needs to be suitably repaired so
it doesn‘t lead to more problems
down the road," he said. “It is re-
pairable, it‘s just coming up with
the right process for repair."

Fitzgerald said he was com-
fortable with the decision to
have the Belle sit out this
year‘s race against its paddle-
wheeling rival.

“We have a mechanical
problem, and every year we’ve
had the steamboat race we've
always put safety ﬁrst and win-
ning second," he said. “I feel
good that we‘re doing the right
thing that this boat is going to

She was on her second visit
to the center for her lips, but
has also had her eyebrows
and upper and lower eyeliner
done.

Wells says the procedure
is simple.

“It enhances what you al-
ready have or don’t have."

So you‘re wondering how
much something like this
costs? Eyeliner is $250, lips
are $350 and eyebrows are
$200-$300. depending on the
extent of work.

Of course. there are ad
vantages and disadvantages.

As with any procedure
of this nature, Wells says
there has to be a period of
healing.

Wells‘ post-care manual
says you should see final re-
sults in about two weeks. but
desired results may take more
than one application. It also
says the tattoos may scab, be
sore or bruise.

Pam Woodrum, a regis-
tered nurse and health educa-
tor for UK, suggests some con-
cerns for those considering
the procedure.

“Remember if tattoos are
removed, not all can be taken
oﬂ‘ and can cause possible
scarring," Woodrum said.

She also suggests the fol-
lowing guidelines:

I Ask for certiﬁcation
and what experience the tat-
tooist has.

0 See pictures of their
work and, if possible, talk to

someone who’s had it done.

at Make sure the needles
are autoclaved and changed
with each client.

at Make sure gloves are
changed with each client.

* Know how to take care
of the area afterwards.

a“ Make sure a new con-
tainer of ink is used each
time.

a Know they are perma-
nent and think about what
age might do to them.

Wells said the age group
she sees most is 45 and up.
Her oldest client is 92, and her
youngest was a young girl in
high school.

Wells recalls the young
girl to be her most rewarding
experience, when she restored
pigment to her lip after recon-
structive surgery on a cleft
pallet.

“Those are the things
that make the job so reward-
ing. I help pcople feel better
about themselves,“ Wells
said.

But what do students here
at UK think about it? When
asked if they would have per-
manent makeup, most said no
because of safety issues or the
principle behind it.

“I wouldn’t do it because
it just seems too dangerous to
tattoo places on your face, like
your eyelids," said Bridget
Castle, a biology junior.

“I am appalled at the
lengths to which women go to
for beauty," said Gwen Mc-
Golden, a merchandising, ap-
parel and textiles junior. “I
personally wouldn‘t do it, be-

be properly repaired, and she’ll
be back out there."

Not even the Belle‘s partial
sinking into the Ohio River in
August 1997 had kept it from
competing in the race. A former
crew member, Brennan Callan.
was convicted of causing the
sinking and faces up to 20 years
in prison.

The ship was repaired in
time to win last year’s steam-
boat race, giving it 17 wins to
the Delta Queen’s 16. Two other
boats also have won.

The Delta Queen towers
over the Belle and will have an
even bigger size advantage
against the Spirit of Jefferson.
The Spirit is 118 feet long and 32
feet wide; the Belle is 200 feet
long and about 46 feet wide,
Jewell said.

The Spirit is a diesel-pow-
ered, twin-engine excursion
boat built in 1963 and pur-
chased by Jefferson County in
1995. The Spirit has the charm
of an authentic steamboat with
modern touches, like two 42-
inch propellers.

contributed to the increased
average attendance at football
games the last two seasons.

“1 think the higher atten-
dance ﬁgures are due in large
part to the higher quality of the
football program," he said. “It‘s
no secret that people are more
likely to come out and support a
successful football team rather
than a team lacking in success.
and the numbers reﬂect that."

Several events, such as
cookouts and contests, were
held before UK home football
games during the 1998 season
to promote the games and get
students involved.

As for basketball, Johnson
said the athletics is looking
into the ticket distribution pro-
cedures to help boost student
attendance.

At the ﬁnal student lottery
in February, the athletics de-
partment distributed question-
naires asking for student input
regarding the ticket distribu-
tion for men‘s basketball.
Johnson said the students indi-
cated a desire for a change of
time and day of the lottery and
also the site of the lottery.

“We plan to rearrange the
ticket distribution by address-
ing the time and day issue and
location of the distribution.“
Johnson said.

Johnson said the lottery
format will likely remain in
place next season.

Attendance figures for the
entire 1998-99 basketball sea-
son were not available.

By Michael Heppermann
ASSISTANT SPORTSDAILY EDITOR

Both the UK men‘s and
women's tennis teams departed
from the Southeastern Confer-
ence Tournament in the quar-
terfmals round of a tournament
that saw the No. 1 seeds check
out early.

The sixth-seeded UK
women lost to third seed anti
eventual champion the Miss 5-0
on Friday.

The Cats W011 only one set.

urski. who beat lvona Mihailo-
va 3-6 in the first set of her
match. But Sigurski lost the
next two 6-3, 6-0. The rest of the
UK squad lost in straight sets.

Despite the lopsided loss.
Head Coach Mark Guilbeau re-
mained positive.

“You have to give Ole Miss
all the credit in the world. That
(performance) was unbeliev-
able,“ he said. "They played re-
ally. really well. But l'm proud

The women reached the
second round by beating
Auburn 5-15 on Thursday. Kelly

for the Cats and Mayorga and
Stafford teamed up to earn an 8-
2 doubles win.

The eighth-ranked Runnin‘
Rebels reached the chainpi»
onship game by defeating sec~
ond~seeded Georgia.

That win meant they faced
Florida. the No. 1 seed and the
No. l-ranked team in the court
try. This season marked the
fourth consecutive unblem-
ished regular season for the
Gators. and UP was shooting
for its 17th conference title in 20
years.

But Ole Miss proved it had
other plans by beating U1" 5-4.
The No. 3 doubles team of lvona
and Irena Mihailova clinched the
win on the sixth match point.

DENVER m Boast-
ing two recently mint»
ed Super Bowl rings as
well as the game‘s
MVP award. John E]-
way is going out on
top. much like Michael
Jordan did four
months earlier.

Elway. the master
of improvisation and
the late-game come-
back, is leaving football
after 16 NFL seasons.

Elway all but an-
nounced his retire»
ment Saturday in an
interview with Denver
TV station KCNC in
Pebble Beach. Calif.
where he was playing
in a golf tournament.

“For so many
years. everything in
my family has re-
volved around me. it‘s
time for that to
change." the 38»year-
old quarterback said.
“I really accom-
plished everything i
wanted to. There's no
real upside to coming
back."

Later in the day.
Elway told The Associ-
ated Press: “I know
everybody wants to

know. but I‘m not go-
ing to talk about it
right now. There‘ll be
an announcement next
week. That‘s all I have
to say about it for
now."

Sources close to
Elway. speaking on
condition of anonymi-
ty, said he has told
friends he is leaving
the game.

Elway reportedly
considered announc-
ing his decision two
weeks ago. but owner
Pat Bowlen was in
Australia promoting
the Broncos‘ preseason
game there.

“We're shooting for
a midweek press con-
ference. most likely
Wednesday." Broncos
spokesman Jim Sacco-

mano said Sunday
night.
While Elway

earned his second
straight Super Bowl ti-
tle and the game‘s
MVP honor last Janu<
ary with a 34-19 win
over Atlanta. he
missed all or part of
six games with ham-
string. back and rib
injuries.

()le Miss llead (‘oach Jerry
Montgomery was elated.

"I really want to hand it to
my No. 3 doubles team, they felt
the weight of the world, and
they showed tremendous poise
and character to close it out."

()n the men's side, No. 3
seed Georgia knocked out UK‘s
men on Friday with a 4-3 win.
The (‘ats went up l-tl after win-
ning the doubles point. but lost
four of six singles matches to
exit early.

The (‘ats reached the quarv
tertinals by beating Arkansas 4-
l on Thursday. but were over-
matched by the Bulldogs, which
eventually reached the champi-
onship game.

In the final game. Georgia
faced a hungry LSU team that
won the tournament last year
over the Bulldogs and was look
ing for its second straight title
after knocking out top-seeded
Ole Miss.

Not only did the fourth-
seeded T
