Chad Gilpin has been to the nation
al tournament each of the three years
of his career. been an All-American
twice and was national runner-up last
year

He is the favorite to win the Nation-
al Collegiate Boxing Association na-
tional championship, and he was in
New York City last week representing
UK in the New York Athletic Club Col-
lege Boxing Invitational. a one-match
exhibition featuring some of the best
boxers in the nation.

He can also tell you what it's like to
be waylaid by a national champion
boxer who outweighs you by 50
pounds.

And. he’s an art studio major with
a focus in photography.

Gilpin was the only boxer from
UK‘s club team attending the invita
tional. which is a showcase of the top
four boxers in the nation at each
weight class.

tage have his coach. George Ginter.
thinking he will reach the next level
this year and come home With a cham-
pionship,

”lf l was a betting man. I‘d say he
has a 60 percent chance to win the na-
tional championship." Ginter said.

Gilpin headed to New York Nov. 20.
where be. his father and former four-
time UK All-American Jeremy Witten
attended meetings about rules and did
some sightseeing before the fights Nov.
22.

Witten. Gilpin's corner man and a
national champion in the mid-1990s. is
taking the place of Ginter. whose de-
mands as a local anesthesiologist kept

him from attending both the invita-
tional and the team national champi-
onships in April. so he decided to at-
tend the team championships.

“It's tough not going." Ginter said.
“I used to go every year, and the New
York Athletic Club is my favorite place
to stay."

"The Athletic Club was amazing."
Gilpin said. “It was very swanky. The
fight atmosphere was amazing , it
was in this big gym they have there
and the ring was in the middle with
seats all around."

Gilpin made short work of his op-
ponent. a ZOO-plus pound fighter from
the US Military Academy at West
Point. NY. dispatching him with three
eight-count knockdowns in the first
round for a technical knockout.

"He outweighed me.“ said
the 195—pound Gilpin. “But
he was short so I had a lot of
reach on him and l was
quicker. l hit him with
punches he didn't see com-
ing."

Gilpin. who is 6-foot-4.
has a tremendous reach ad
vantage over most of his op-
ponents. Early in his UK ca-
reer. he fought as a super
heavyweight. a class with no
weight restrictions. and that
was not where he needed to
be.

“I can tee off on those big
guys and they just keep coming."
Gilpin said. “I get into the ring with a
guy whose arms are as big around as
my legs. they are so slow that I see
their punches coming. but 1 can dodge.
hit them. get away and they're still
there."

mm sum
. Last week in New York City, Gilpin beat a ZOO-pound plus
. but his height advantage led him to the victory.

“I'd say he
has a 60 per-
cent chance
of winning
the national
champi-
onship."
George Ginter

Chad Gilpin's boxing coach

I sun

“I decided to put Chad into the su-
per heavyweight division his freshman
year." Ginter said. “He was taller. so we
thought that would give him an advan-
tage. but he was getting into the ring
with guys 40 pounds heavier than him.
Fortunately. he made it to nationals
and ended up fighting the guy who won
it all. so it was a big learning experi-
ence for him."

Gilpin moved to the lQS-pound
weight class. where he fights guys that
are six or more inches shorter than he
is. This gives him a tremendous advan-
tage over his opponents and lends it-
self to his style. which is to attack and
keep moving around.

Gilpin and his opponents must
weigh in at 195 on the morning of the
fight. But. he said. that may not mean
they weigh 195 when the bell
rings.

“Once you get to training
every day. it‘s incredibly easy
to lose weight through
sweat." Gilpin said. "You can
sit in a bathroom with hot
water running and shadow-
box with the mirror for a
while and lose ll) pounds in
one night. Then you weigh in
and drink juice all day to get
it all back."

"It‘s not a very good
idea." (iinter said. "Every-
body's going to skip a meal
and get a little dehydrated be-
fore they weigh in. it's in
evitable. and two to three pounds in
one practice isn't a big deal. But Chad
never has to worry about it. because
he‘s walking around two pounds under
weight all the time. He weighed in

EKU will not discipline
former UK police chief

By Dariush Shafa

Former Police Chief Fred
H. Otto III will not face disci-
plinary action from Eastern
Kentucky University
for having a UK em-
ployee help with his
courseWork, one of
Otto's professors said
yesterday

Michael Schu~
mann. an associate
professor of loss pre-
vention and safety.
said the matter had
been resolved satis-
factorily from EKU's
point of view.

“We have investigated the
matter. we have met with
(former) chief Otto and we
are satisfied with his expla-
nation in the matter." he
said.

Schumann said the rea-
soning was based on Otto‘s
written work and participa-
tion in class.

“I feel very strongly that
his written work mirrored

OTTO

the way he spoke and the ar-
guments he made in class,"
he said. “It corresponded to
his background. We’re satis-
fied that this is his work."
The UK Police employee
who helped Otto,

Nathan Brown, de-

clined to comment.

Maj. Joe Monroe,
one of the police ad-
ministrators who is
running day-to-day
operations since

Otto’s absence, said

the police want to
move on.

“We just want to
bury it behind us and go on
with the future of the depart-
ment." Monroe said.

Ken Clevidence. director
of public safety and vice
president for auxiliary and
campus services, has stepped
in to fill the vacuum lefi by
Otto's departure and said
that he does not feel that the
change in leadership will af-
fect students’ safety.

UK’s Amnesty group
celebrates with march

By Shannon Mason
THE KENTUCKY mun

UK's Amnesty Interna-
tional chapter. along with
other campus and local or-
ganizations. is hosting a Hu-
man Rights Day celebration
tonight.

The event will begin at
6:30 pm. at the Patterson Of-
fice Tower courtyard with a
candlelit procession in re-
membrance of the ethnic
cleansing in Darfur. Sudan.

“We want especially to
draw attention to the situa-
tion in Darfur. Sudan. the vi-
olence of which has caused
16 million Sudanese to flee
to neighboring Chad." said
Jessi Vowels. the local
Amnesty chapter‘s coordina-
tor.

The processional will
lead to the main event at 7
pm. in room 359 of the Stu-
dent Center

“This event is important
(because) it‘s a way to get
the word out about what
Amnesty does. as well as
help people with similar in-
terests namely human
rights network in a com-
fortable meet and greet set‘
ting." said Evan Jones. an
anthropology senior.

Human Rights Day is an
annual celebration of the
signing of the United Na—
tion‘s Universal Declaration

of Human Rights and is na-
tionally acknowledged on
Dec. 10.

Vowels said they chose to
have the event on Thursday
instead of Friday because
they wanted to be sure that
everyone could help defend
human rights and see their
families before finals.

“It’s an opportunity to
unite people who have com-
mon goals and who want to
make positive footprints in
the world." said Maggie
Messerschmidt. an anthro-
pology senior and co—presi-
dent of Green Thumb Envi-
ronmental Club, which is
also involved with the event.

Other organizations in-
volved include Leftist Stu-
dent Union. Lambda. Laven-
der. Kentuckians for the
Commonwealth and the
Kentucky Coalition for
Peace and Justice.

“Celebrating the (decla‘
ration of human rights) is
the heart of what Amnesty
stands for." said Rachel
Brokaw. an anthropology
and linguistics junior and
Amnesty treasurer.

“And there is no better
way to celebrate it than by
taking part in human rights
activism."

Smith’s halftime message motivates Cats to blowout Win

By, Benrltoiberts
YHE KENYUCKV mm

A real long walk.

That's how UK point
guard Patrick Sparks de-
scribed last night‘s trip from
the Rupp Arena floor to the
halftime locker room.

Holding on to a six-point
lead over the visiting More-
head State Eagles. Sparks
and his teammates knew
what Tubby Smith would
say once they left the court.

“He was mad that's
the understatement of the
year." junior forward Kelen-
na Azubuike said. “He got
on us good and rightly so."

UK responded to Smith‘s
halftime talk by scoring the
first 20 points of the second
half. and held the Eagles
without a field goal for the
first 8:53 of the period.

The (‘ats coasted the rest
of the way to defeat More—
head State 7140 last night at
Rupp Arena.

“It was pretty intense."
Sparks said of the halftime
talk. “We didn't come out
and play the way we wanted
to and we knew what we
were going to get. We went

in there and took it and
catne back out and respond—
ed. Coach got us to play
there in the second half."

Morehead State head
coach. and former Wildcat
point guard. Kyle Macy said
the Smith should have never
had to get on his players.

“They've got to take care
of business from start to
end.“ Macy said. “Coach
Smith shouldn't have to
come in at halftime and
chew them out the way he
did. They have to buy in to
what (‘oach Smith is trying
to teach them.

“They have to buy in top
to bottom and pound teams
like us."

Held to two points in the
first half. Azubuike added 19
points after halftime to lead
four Cats who scored in dou»
ble figures.

Sophomore center Sha~
gari Alleyne had ll points.
and senior forward (‘huck

the Cats” first :5-pointer of
the night.

"l think we got out and
ran more." Azubuike said. “I
just tried to take the ball to
the basket. You‘ve got to at
tack and make good deci-
sions."

Alleyne. who also had
eight rebounds and six
blocked shots. said the rim
was a direct result of
Smith's halftime talk.

“We were a lot more ag-
gressive and played with
more emotion.“ he said. “It's
like a chain reaction. he gets
on us and we get on them “

The (Tats jumped out to a
24-8 lead midway through
the first half. but turnovers
and missed shots led to a 13-
(i Morehead State run that
kept the Eagles close for the
remainder of the period.

UK scored five points in
the final nine minutes of the
first half and shot .‘t‘l percent

While this method of
crash~weight loss is effective.
according to Gilpin. it isn‘t
easy.

“Your legs turn to jelly."
Gilpin said. “That hurts me
more than them usually be-
cause my style makes me use
my legs more."

He prefers to keep the
weight off through the week
before his fight. because he
won't have to crash diet be-
fore the bout. This prefer-
ence. along with the nature
of the sport itself, has helped
in every facet of his life.

“It instills discipline."
Gilpin said. “You can't lie to
yourself like in school. going
‘Aw, man. I studied for that
test!’ when you got a bad
grade and you know you did-
n‘t study. In boxing. everyone
in the arena will know that
you didn't work as hard. and
you’ll know because you'll
get beat up."

Getting beaten up and
taking punches is something
that deters many potential
boxers from the sport. But

Gilpin can go into each tight

hardest he will ever be hit.

watching the videotape, but
he said the hit has. paradoxi

“Now I know that some

Being on the other side of

“We just couldn't make a
shot (at the end of the first
ham." he said. “It's hard to
get momentum when you get
it inside and somebody turns
it over or takes a contested
shot. That's as big a momen-
tum breaker as anything."

Aided by the early run.
the Cats turned it around in
the second half by shooting
46 percent from the field and
forcing 13 Morehead State
turnovers.

The Eagles were also held
to six field goals and 17 sec-
ond-half points. most of
which came toward the end
of the game.

Smith said after the game
he was not concerned with
his team‘s spurts.

“That's the way it is." he
said. “Some days you‘re up.
some day‘s you‘re a feather
duster. some day‘s you‘re a
peacock. That's the way it
goes."
