Election oﬁ‘icz'als

anticipate large
voter turnout

By Gary Wult

Associate News Editor

As students head to the election polls
today they will have more to choose from
than the 71 candidates running for ofﬁce.
Students will vote whether or not they
would support a campus recreation fee.

The referendum intends to gauge stu-
dent opinion, and if passed, the recommen-
dation would be forwarded to the Board of
Trustees, where the members would vote
on it.

Senator at large Bob Brown, who co-
sponsored the referendum, said if a campus
recreation fee passes through the Board of
Trustees, student money would pay for new
equipment and wages to keep recreational
facilities open longer.

He added that with a campus recreation
fee, intramural sports would be free to stu—
dents.

“This should encourage more participa-
tion,” Brown said.

The fee, Brown said, would add between
$2.25 and $2.50 to the other fees students
pay in addition to tuition.

As senatorial campaigns wound down, a
portion of the 44 senator at large candidates
posted signs around campus.

Some were ripped down yesterday.

Nonetheless, none of the candidates
L ﬁled election claims, said Student Govern-

ment Association Vice President Chrissy
Guyer.

However, she said several candidates
picked up claim sheets.

“I think some of them are unsure
whether PPD (Physical Plant Division) or
other candidates took down their posters,”
she said.

Guyer said this happens each year and it
is nothing out of the ordinary.

; OIIIIIIOII about 188

SGA President Alan Aja made calls to
PPD to remind them of elections today and
tomorrow.

Eleven of the 18 seats college senator
candidates will run unopposed this year,
including the colleges of agriculture, archi-
tecture, business & economics, communi-
cations, education, engineering and phar—
macy.

No one ﬁled for the senator seats in the
colleges of dentistry and medicine.

Guyer said the write-in candidate with
the most votes would take the open spots in
the senate.

If no one writes in a candidate, then a
special election will be held or someone
from the senate would ﬁll the spot, she said.

With more than 70 candidates on the
ballot, election ofﬁcials are expecting a big-
ger turnout than last year, when 1,733 stu-
dents voted.

Voter turnout for the election was the
lowest of the decade.

“With all the senator candidates running
it is bound to encourage a lot students to
get out and vote,” Guyer said.

The following places will be open for
polling today and tomorrow:

VAgriculture: 8:30 a.m. — 2 p.m. (both

Mills family
excited about

Final Four

By Brett Dawson
Senior Staff lVrirer

This time last year. Cameron Mills
was pretending to be Carmello
Traﬁeso.

As UK prepared for the 1996 Final
Four, Mills worked on the scout team
for the favored \Vildcats. ()ne of his
roles was to duplicate the lon r-range
bombing of the UMass shooting
guard.

“Just taking a lot of threes," Mills
said ofhis role.

Things haven’t changed that much
in a year.

iVIills still is jacking up long balls.
Only now, he’s not pretending to IIC‘
anybody else. He's just Cameron
Mills, key contributor to UK‘s Final
Iiour run.

“I'm more than just a cheerleader,
which is more or less what I was last
year," Mills said. “It's deﬁnitely more
exciting for me this time.”

the rest of the Mills family. Mills’
father, Terry, a UK lettennan in 1969.
71, booms with pride when he's asked
about his son's rapid rise to notoriety.
“(The Final Four) is roing to be a
lot more exciting and we'll probably be
a little more emotional this year," the
elder Mills said.
“Last year we didn't
know if he’d get any q

Based on the
way the early part
of this season
went, few in the
Mills household
could have expected

a banner postseason '- ..
from Cameron this a“
year either. I N DI

Prior to Derek Anderson's
season—endin knee injury,
Cameron had played double ﬁgure
minutes only once — a rainst also-ran
UNC—Asheville —— and ad scored just
13 points all season.

But after step ing up several times
during the regu ar season in Ander—
son’s absence, Mills has caught ﬁre in
the postseason.

Since the beginning of the NCAA
Tournament, the junior guard is
shooting a remarkable 72 percent from
three-point range and 65 percent over-

all.

But a funny thing happened against
Utah, LIK's opponent in the \Vest
Regional I'jmal.

Cameron Mills, former walk-on,

suddenly found himself the
focus of the Utes' defense.
Ile was held scoreless
in H minutes of play.
“I was in a posi-
tion there that I
never thought I'd
be in at Kentucky,
having another
team concentrate
their defense on
'0’ me," Mills said. “It
.. was a good feeling,
but I just wish I
would‘ve been able to
get loose and get a cou—
ple of shots.”
The Mills family hardly
expected Mills to get more than a
couple of shots over his career at UK.
Neither did Coach Rick I’itino, who
reluctantly accepted Cameron as a
walk—on three years ago.

Pitino has said repeatedly that he
thought Mills should have accepted a
scholarship offer from one of the
schools, including Georgia, which
offered one.

“(But) he wanted to carry on a tra-
dition in his family, he wanted to be a
part of something that means so much

“its?

STEPHANIE CORDLE Kernel sniff

to his family," Pitino said.

“He never expected to play — he
just continued to work hard because
that's what he’s all about."

But Terry Mills, who with his wife,
Lori, and Cameron’s brother, Collier,
will be in Indianapolis this weekend,
wanted his son to ﬁnd his own way.

“When Cameron went to UK, we
didn't want him to say he was playing
there just because I did," Terry Mills
said. “We wanted him to make his own
contributions and be his own player."

His 12 points per game and red-hot
shooting in the NCAAs have gone a
long way toward accomplishing that.
But Cameron Mills said his father's
shadow has never loomed large during
his time at UK.

“Not too many people remember
when he played here — just some of
the older fans,” he said. “But deﬁnitely
I think the last few weeks I’m sort of
getting my own identity.”

The player Cameron Mills has
become, as unlikely as it all seems, will
take the court this weekend at the
Final Four, forgetting about the past
and focusing instead on making histo-

ry.

“Very few college basketball players
get a chance to experience a national
championship, and even fewer get a
shot at doing it twice," Mills said.
“And hopefully I get to be one of those

very, very, very few.”

Greek memhens' votes critical in elections

NEWShyte

, By Brenna Hollly
Editor in Chief

I As the Student Government Associ-
‘ , ation elections be 'n today students
will be bombarded y H ers, campaign-
ers and buttons. But 0 those students
who pass in front of polling places, few
will cast a ballot for the next

_‘ SGA President. ANAIY SIS

. Out of 24,000 students at
. ‘. UK, only 1,733 voted in last year’s
election. But there is one segment of
the student body that does at out the
vote in SGA elections, Gree .

While Greeks make up only about
17 percent of the student population,
they are an organized, motivated

grou .
The ultimate symbol of this unity is
the Greek Political Action Commit-

tee’s annual endorsement.
“The Greeks big stren is their
networking ability, said nner SGA

President Shea Chaney said. “If they
pay attention to who they endorse it
can have a really big effect.”

Melanie Cruz, is only the second
non—Greek presidential candidate won
that endorsement. Monday was the
ﬁrst time GPAC has chosen a non-
Greek presidential candidate over a
Greek candidate.

Cruz’s running mate Alizha
ce is a member of Alpha
Gamma Delta social sorority. But all
Greek Kyle Thompson, a member of
Delta Si :1 Phi social fraterni and
his running mate Chi Omega 'stin
Triplett failed to get the nod from
GPAC.

Last year current SGA President
Alan Aja (while running mate Chrissy
Guyer is Creek) was the ﬁrst non-
Greek to win the endorsement. q:
won the endorsement over the Green,
non-Greek pair of Phil Curtis and Tim
Niebel.

“For us, it diversiﬁed our campaign
and our support,” Aja said. “It helped
us.”

GPAC had helped a lot of presiden-
tial hopefuls.

Since its inception in 1988 every
candidate that has been endorsed by
GPAC has won the election, with one
exception.

The exception to GPAC's record
came in 1994 when T.A. Jones won the
election with 925 votes. While the
GPAC—endorsed candidate Tracy
Rogers, a member of Kappa Alpha
Theta social sorority came in third
place with 758 votes.

Rogers won the endorsement in a
run-off with non-Greek candidate
Misty Weaver, whose running mate
Colleen Litkenhaus was a member of
Delta Delta Delta social sorority.
Weaver came in second in the election,
with Pi Kappa Alpha member Rob
Warrington p acing fourth.

Many argue that with three Greek
candidates the solid Greek vote was
split, allowing Jones to slide into ofﬁce.

Still others argue that with four can-
didates and 3,172 people casting votes.
Jones’ used his alternative bongo-
drumming campaign to win
widespread campus support.

“T.A. went to Greek houses,” Aja
said. “He probably did get some Greek
support.”

Aja said while the Greek vote is
important, SGA elections are won or
lost at the polls.

“It all evens out at the polls,” Aja
said. “Some people will go vote
because (they are handed) ﬂyers."

Aja said while Greek chapters have
already decided who they will support,
unafﬁliated students may be persuaded
to vote for a candidate because of a
personal encounter on election day.
