The Lexington-Fayette
Urban (,‘ounty (‘ouiicil made
history last night by holding
its weekly meeting on ['K‘s
campus instead of in council
chambers downtown.

The council has not held

a meeting out of council
chambers in about three
decades. said Bill Farmer Jr.
council member for the 5th
district.

"This is our first time out
of chambers since the merged
government. and I think it‘s
the first time in 26 or 27
years.” Farmer said. “It‘s his—

tory all the way around.‘

Students. staff. faculty.
community members and
council members gathered in
the Student Center's Center
Theater for the council's spe-
cial meeting.

During the meeting.
council members passed a
resolution authorizing Mayor
Teresa Isaac to begin discus-
sions about buying KY—Ameri-
can Water Company. The
question of whether the city

should buy the water compa-
ny has been hotly debated.
but this first vote is not the
most important. some council
members said.

“This is just the first
phase." said Dick DeCamp.
council member for the 3rd
district. “It'll be the second
vote that will separate the
men from the boys."

The second vote could de-

tables outside the auditorium, promoting issues such as gay rights and environmental causes. Emily Hagihara played guitar in the

Preparations: Each woman practices a talent,
develops a platform and chooses a wardrobe

BySlyOfles

CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Erin Bentley works on a paper as she sits on a
bench in the Whitehall Classroom Building. It appears
as if she is preparing for a class like any other student,
but at the top of her paper is a picture of a crown.

Bentley. an English and secondary education se-
nior has been completing paperwork for the 2003 Miss
Kentucky Scholarship Pageant. So have six other UK
students.

“It seems like a hundred different pieces of paper-
work must be filled out for this application.“ said
Maria Maldonado, a political science junior.

The contestants had a chance to meet each other
this weekend and spend time with their families at the
Miss Kentucky Scholarship Pageant orientation, a
two-day event at the downtown Radisson.

Their hard work will soon be tested at the 2003
Miss Kentucky Scholarship Pageant June 12-14.

Prue-ho

Paperwork is just one more thing to do before the
pageant. Exercising, practicing talents and selecting
wardrobes are also key, but each woman prepares in
her own way.

Maldonado. 21, has a personal trainer and a voice
coach to help her prepare for the pageant. Elizabeth
Van Kersen, 21. practices the piano and rides her bicy-
cle to class. Tonya Shive. 23. Bethany Moore, 22, and
Bentley, 22, continue to exercise and develop their plat-
forms, their stances on certain issues.

Lauren Moss. 22. said she tries to not get caught up
in the hoopla of what to wear.

“There has to be an equal balance of preparing
myself inwardly and outwardly" said Moss. a theater
senior. “Inner beauty is so much more important than
outer beauty"

dad by US. special forces.
“might have been more diplo-
matic. more financially as-
tute.” than other members of
Saddam's immediate family.
"but that's not saying much.“
said (‘harles Forrest of the In-
ternational Campaign to In-
dict Iraqi War Criminals.

Brig. Gen. Vincent
Brooks of the US. Central
(‘ommand said the 33-year-old
llasan was captured alone in
Baghdad on Thursday. and no
casualties were sustained by
the special forces who do
tained him or the US.
Marines who supported them.

Hasan was among the
leadership figures that US.
forces targeted during the
war. On April 11. warplanes
dropped six satellite-guided
bombs on a building in the
city of Ramadi. west of Baghs
dad. where Ilasan was
thought to be located. But af-

ter the strike. officials said
they did not know the results
of the strike.

Hasan‘s career illustrates
another fact of life in Sad—
dam's Iraq: Being close to the
president did not always
mean being safe M over the
years. the first family‘s feuds
have meant detention and
even death for Saddam‘s
brothers. sons or cousins —
and it certainly doesn't mean
they are safe now.

The U.S.-led coalition is
pursuing fugitives. Brooks
said. Rights groups say they
should stand trial for crimes
against humanity

Hasan was the second of
Saddam's three half brothers
to be taken into custody; for-
mer Interior Minister Watban
Ibrahim Hasan was appre-
hended last week in Mosul in
northern Iraq. The third. for-
mer security chief Sab'awi
Ibrahim Hasan. is being
sought. as are Saddam's sons
Odai and Qusai. Like Saddam

and many others in the
regime's inner circle the
Hasan brothers bore the clan
name alTikriti.

Barzan Hasan. a former
fare collector on a Baghdad

minibus. directed dozens of
operations in Europe against
Iraqi dissidents as a leading
figure in and at one point

ligence service from the early
19705 until 1983.

the 1990s as Iraq‘s ambas-
sador to UN. agencies A in-
cluding the UN. human rights
committee , in Geneva.

And he remained a presi~
dential adviser at the time of
his capture: he is one of 55 no-
torious members of Saddam's
regime depicted on a deck of
playing cards distributed to
American soldiers. Brooks
said Hasan has “extensive

Contracts, facilities on agenda
at athletics board meeting

Sports: Board will approve women's basketball coach
contract, look at new basketball practice facility

Ey_Oereli Poore

STAFF WRITER

Many questions about the future of UK athletics will
be decided today.

The UK Athletics Association Board of Directors will
meet in the Patterson Office Tower to discuss the many
issues that will be on tap.

Topics include new contracts and a basketball prac~
tice facility. said lTK athletics spokeswoman Amanda Pol-
ley. The new athletic budget recommendation will also be
discussed.

“They‘re going to approve Mickie DeMoss's contract
and talk about the practice facility." Polley said.

UK athletics spokesman Brooks Downing said he was
unsure whether men's basketball coach Tubby Smith‘s
contract would be discussed.

DeMoss was hired last month to be I'K‘s head
women‘s basketball coach after an 18-year stint with the
University of Tennessee. where she was the associate
head coach under Pat Summit During Iii-Moss's career
at the storied Lady Volunteer program. she helped com-
pile 12 Nl‘AA Final Four appearances. including six na-
tional titles. The Lady Vols had a record of S49 76 during
DeMoss's tenure.

The board. which is headed by I'K President Lee
Todd. will also raise the issue of a proposed basketball
practice facility. Approval for funding may be discussed
during the meeting tomorrow. Policy said

concerns like the College
Town Plan and the Lexinge
ton Area Party Plan.

The council came to
campus because of an invita-
tion from President Lee
Todd. He mentioned the idea
to council members before
he even took office as UK’s
president. he said.

"I invited them to mix
and visit campus." Todd
said. “We haven‘t had the
mixture that we needed be-
fore. I think this is a step in
the right direction."

UK plans to continue di-
alogue between the universi—
ty. city and community by
holding biannual meetings
on UK‘s campus to talk about
issues that affect everyone in
Lexington. said Lisa Hig-
gins-Herd. the UK Communi-

ty Relations Director.

“1 think we are going to
be a wonderful team." Hig-
gins-Bord said.

Farmer was a strong ad-
vocate of having the council
meet on campus: he said the
move took some work. The
city had to spend about $800
to advertise the special meet-
ing as well as find a location
that could fit everyone and
provide technology to broad-
cast the meeting. he said.

There were several stu-
dents in attendance. One
said he came to support the
city taking interest in UK.

“I thought it would be in-
teresting," said Keith Kumen~
doerfer. a communications
sophomore. “Since it was at
UK. students should come out
and give their support.“

 

In March. UK Athletics
Director Mitch Barnhart
said that as soon as funding
was approved. a year of
fundraising efforts would
precede construction of the
new facility. which would be
built behind Memorial Coli-
seum. The building would be
completed by the start of the
2005-2006 season.

The new practice facility
could also house new offices.
Barnhart is moving himself
and his staff out of their
newly remodeled space in
Memorial Coliseum to ac-
commodate DeMoss. Barn-
hart said the move was tem-

porary until the new facility
is constructed.

A special committee's
recommendations on ath-
letic ticket prices will also
be heard.

“That [committee] was
looking at the ticket prices
for various events," said Joe
Sharpe. UK assistant athletic
director and head of tickets.

Mandwhen

The meeting will start at 1 pm
on the 18th floor of the Patter-
son Office lower.

Meagan Kozlesky; 21. is concentrating
on the interview portion of the pageant.

"I read the newspaixn‘ and try to kwp
up on current events." said Kozlesky: an
arts administration senior

The women have also been prepar»
ing for the talent portion of the
pageant. Moss. Maldonado and Shive
will perform a vocal piece. Kozlesky
and Bentley each have a dance number
prepared. Van Kersen and Moore will
play the piano.

All seven women competed and won
at the local level in order to advance to
the state level. And most of them aren't
amateurs: five have competed in pi'evious
Miss Kentucky pageants.

Moss finished in the top 10 in last
year‘s Miss Kentucky Pageant. Maldon-
ado was second runner-up. anti Moore
was third runner-up in last year's
pageant. Kozlesky competed in the
pageant two years ago and placed
fourth runner-up. Shive, a marketing
senior. was also a contestant in the 2002
Miss Kentucky Pageant.

This year‘s Miss Kentucky. Mary
Catherine Correll. came from UK.

“This pageant gives young women
the opportunity to do things you would
normally never get to do." said Van
Kersen. a communications disorders ju»
nior. “You are able to share what you are
passionate about."

The pageant consists of an interview
and a question-and-answer session. Other
judging criteria include physical fitness.
evening wear and talent.

It awards scholarship money to the
contestants.

“This is such a great opportunity for
young women." Kozlesky said. “It can
open doors and pay for school.“

The winner gets a $12,000 scholar-
ship plus $100,000 worth of prizes such
as a Ford Explorer to use for the year.
clothes, an apartment for the year. dry
cleaning, hair appointments. nail ap-
pointments and a cell phone to use for
the year.

“I saw the need for paying for college
on my own.“ Maldonado said. “I am not a
rich girl by any means. My parents saw it
as a way for me to pay the bills and grow
up in all areas of my life."

The winner will also advance to the
Miss America Pageant.

Platforms

Each woman has a platform that fits
her own personal cause, including cancer.
illiteracy and AIDS awareness.

The women spend a great deal of
time in their community advancing their
platforms.

What is their favorite part about be—
ing in the pageant? Most said it is being
able to concentrate on causes.

“If selected as Miss Kentucky you
get to spend an entire year talking
about your platform.“ said Moore. a bi-
ology senior.

Even if they do not win the coveted
title of Miss Kentucky, these women will
continue to conduct research and do com-
munity service based on their platforms,
many of them said.

“Any girl is smart enough and talent-
ed enough to do this," Van Kersen said.
“All it takes is motivation and drive to get
up on stage. You just have to decide
whether or not this is what you want to
spend your time doing."

Lady Kats anticipate
competitive SEC field

Home sweet home: UK women's
golf team hosts SEC Tournament
for the first time in 12 years

By Tim Wiseman
snrr WRITER '

In golf. things can change quickly
One day. Tiger Woods is unstoppable.
The next, he loses the Masters to a guy
named Mike Weir.

The UK women‘s golf team has ex-
perienced the game's ups and downs
this season, but the Lady Kats look to
find a new high this weekend when
they host the Southeastern Conference
Championship.

In the fall, the team stormed out of
the gate, taking a third place finish at
the Lady Kat Invitational.

Good showings at the Mercedes—
Benz Collegiate and the Edwin Watts
Collegiate followed, and the team was
moving in the right direction, said UK
coach Stephanie Martin.

Following the winter hiatus. UK
struggled to regain form.

“Unfortunater the winter set us
back," Martin said. “But being able to
travel and play in the spring have
helped us.”

With the return of warm weather,
the players’ games have heated up, espe-
cially that of senior Rachel Lester.
Lester has nine topSO finishes this sea-
son, including a 12th place finish in
Hawaii at the end of March.

“Rachel has been having a very
strong, very solid spring.” Martin said.

Martin also pointed to the play of se-
nior Kelly Anders and junior Eva Gess—
her as positive signs for the Lady Kats.

“Kelly’s game is starting to come to-
gether, and Eva is a good No. 3 player
for this team.” she said.

Despite these bright spots, UK re-
mains on the bubble for postseason play.
So this weekend's SEC Championship
at the University Club of Kentucky will
decide its fate.

“This year, it is all coming down to
this event," Martin said. “Hopefully, I
am the only one worrying about that.”

To succeed, UK must overcome the
stiff competition of the SEC. Six of the
conference's 12 teams are ranked in the
top 25, with three in the top 10.

“As a coach, I do not think there is
much difference (between all the teams
in the SEC), and so it is about just
playing well for these three days,” Mar-

tin said.

A home course advantage gives UK
a needed edge, but Martin expects the
visiting SEC schools will still bring
their best games.

UK has prepared for this challenge
by facing top talent throughout the sea-

Photographer in Iraq
deserved to be fired

With more than 2,000 journalists in the
Middle East covering Operation Iraqi Freedom,
