Kentucky stats

Sloths went
to Big Bone
Lick

1. Kentucky was the first
state in the nation to
be topographically
and geologically
mapped at a scale of
1224000.

2. Kentucky has more
miles of running
water than any other
state except Alaska.

3. Everybody knows that
Kentucky is home to
the longest cave
system on earth —
Mammoth Caverns.

4. If you were a UK
student 450 million
years ago, you would
not need to travel too
far for a nice spring
break - the climate
here was nearly that
of the Bahamas.

5. During the
Pleistocene epoch,
mastodons, giant
ground sloths, and
horses from afar
came to northern
Kentucky to visit that
regions salt licks. Big
Bone Lick State Park
is one of those
places.

Ever wonder why your
stomach growls?
Well, Mexican food
could do it, but
doctors call it
“borborygmi,” which
sounds a bit like the
sound you hear.

According to Webster’s
Dictionary,
borborygmus
(pronounced) "bor-
b&-'rig-m&s) is a
noun. It comes from
New Latin and from
Greek borborygmos,
from borboryzein,
meaning “to rumble."
The word was coined
around 1796, and
means "an intestinal
rumbling caused by
moving gas."

Stadium renovations
to be finished on time

Construction to convert Commonwealth into a bowled
facility moving along at desired pace, ready for next raid

By Pat Clem
ASSISTANT NEVIS EDITOR

UK fans and students will be enjoying
the wonders of a newly remodeled stadium
by next season.

Construction on Commonwealth Sta-
dium “will be complete before the 1999
football season begins," said George De-
Bin, vice president of Fiscal Affairs.

The stadium has been traditionally
sold out. even when UK football was in
much worse shape. said Ken Clevidence,
the senior director of Procurement and
Construction Divisions. “We have added
16,000 seats total for a net-gain of 10.000
seats to the stadium."

The construction on the stadium is on

schedule. as planned. DeBin said. “The
weather has really helped out. Everything
is in order and on-budget."

The construction budget for the pro-
ject is estimated at $27 million. Clevidence
said. “We thought that the stadium was re-
ally needed because of the problems we
have been having with lack of seats. We
also thought it would greatly enhance our
recruiting abilities."

The additions make Commonwealth a
bowled stadium, meaning it is essentially
closed in but not built up to the top level.

“Bowled is the way to go.“ said DeBin.
noting that this style is the way many sta-
diums are being built now.

M'lk. '1:
Where's your mustache? Popular campaign hits Student
Center food court; some complain about shirt, picture offer

By Jill Gorln
STAFF WRITER

Got milk? Got a milk mustache? A lot of
UK students got one yesterday. which could
land them in an ad in Sports Illustrated.

The “Got Milk" campaign gave stu-
dents a chance to be featured in their own
milk mustache ad.

“We are going to 50 colleges. picking a
student from each college and then picking
an over-all winner,“ said Jonathan Schon-
feld. from the “Got Milk Campaign. “who
will be featured in Sports Illustrated."

“This is a great idea." said John Hen-
derson. a graphic art senior. “UK should
have done this a long time ago.“

The event was sponsored by the Stu-
dent Activities Board. which chose the food
court as the area to have pictures taken and
made sure students were on hand to help
with the activity.

The winners from each college will be

notified in about two weeks. after they
are chosen by a panel of judges from
Chicago. Those selected will get their pic-
ture posted on the “Got Milk" website.
http:r/x’wwwwhymilkcom.

"This is our third year doing the
event." said Stacy Forrest. of the “Got
Milk" campaign. “But this is the first year a
student has had the opportunity to be fea-
tured in a magazine."

"Our goal from this campaign," Schon-
feld said, “is to educate college students on
milk and its nutritional value."

Most college students do not realize the
importance of drinking at least three glass-
es of milk every day. he said.

All milk. including whole. skim. 2 per-
cent and chocolate milk. has the same nu-
tritional value. Schonfeld said.

“Bone density continues to grow until
the age of 35." he said. “Most people don‘t
know that. So it's important to keep drink-
ing milk.“

The “Got Milk" Campaign asks athletic
trainers from every college. like [IK's Keith
Webster. to help them educate the students
about the importance of milk in their diet.

“College athletes have to be concerned
about what they put in their bodies." Web
ster said. “Milk is one of the only beverages
that offers a comprehensive nutrient pack

The Low-down

Death sentence In dragging case

JASPER, Texas —- Jurors decided yesterday
John William King should be executed for drag-
ging a black man to his death behind a pickup
truck. The 11 white jurors and their elected black
foreman took just under three hours to render
the decision, about the same time they took to
find King guilty. They rejected tearful pleas from
the defendant’s sickly father to spare his life. Ju-
rors convicted the 24-year-old King of capital
murder Tuesday in the death of James Byrd Jr.
last June.

Israel blocks teen extradition

JERUSALEM — Israel‘s Supreme Court
blocked the extradition yesterday of a US. teen-
ager suspected in the dismemberment of an ac-
quaintance. The reluctant tones of the judges’ 3-2
decision keeping Samuel Sheinbein from return-
ing to Maryland to stand trial reflected wider em-
barrassment in Israel over a blanket ban on extra—
diting Jews ~ a ban many now believe to be out-
dated. Justice Theodor Orr, writing for the major-
ity, said the law contradicts extradition treaties Is»
rael has signed .,_ but that as long as the law was
on the books. he was compelled to uphold it.

Clinton urges Medicare plan

TUCSON, Ariz. m President Clinton turned
to senior citizens yesterday for help in pressur-
ing reluctant Republicans to support his plan for
mending the ailing Medicare insurance program
with billions of dollars in budget surpluses. He
said Republicans appear to be moving away from
the across—the-board tax cuts toward targeted tax
breaks that “benefit people that need it most."
Clinton‘s speech at the Tucson Convention Cen-
ter was the first piece of a six-day presidential
trip through Western states.

Kosovo rebels battle Serbs

PRISTINA, Yugoslavia w Kosovo rebels and
the Yugoslav army clashed yesterday in defiance
,of NATO and US. warnings that the enemies
hold to a cease-fire during a 2 1/ 2-week suspen—
sion in peace talks. Yugoslav army tanks and
mortars were firing near Bukos. a village about
20 miles northwest of Pristina where rebel forces
are concentrated, Associated Press photogra-
phers said. More than 2.000 people have died dur-
ing fighting in the past year between ethnic Alba-
nians and Serb-led Yugoslav forces.

LANDECK, Austria - The death toll from
two Austrianavalanches rose yesterday to 33. In
the western village of Galtuer, where at least 28
people were killed, scores of rescuers used long

still believed buried beneath tons of snow. US.
Army helicopters helped to fly supplies into the

Snow hits New England

BOSTON -— Low pressure off the coast yes-
terday brought heavy snow to southeastern
parts of New England, with up to a foot of snow
or more in some areas. The heavy snow coupled
with wind gusts up to 50 mph led to near-bliz-
zard conditions across eastern Massachusetts
and Rhode Island. Dozens of flights out of
Boston's Logan Airport were canceled while
hundreds of schools throughout the region also
were closed. '

Tomb of unknowns may alter

WASHINGTON — The Pentagon probably
will place an inscription at the Tomb of the Un—
knowns at Arlington National Cemetery in mem-
ory of those lost in the Vietnam War rather than
place new remains in the tomb, officials said.
Spokesman Kenneth Bacon said Defense Secre-
tary William Cohen had not made a final deci-
sion but concurred with the view of aides. They
concluded that it is not possible to say with com-
plete confidence that any future remains from
Vietnam will be unidentifiable.

Yanks, Hets merge

NEW YORK —- The New York Yankees and
the NBA’s New Jersey Nets have signed a letter
of intent to merge the two teams into one compa-
ny. But the teams’ current management will re-
main in place, with George Steinbrenner run-
ning the Yankees and Lewis Katz running the
Nets, the teams announced yesterday. The new
company, called YankeeNets. will enable the
Yankees to gain better leverage in selling their
local broadcast rights.

One bonus to the renova-
tion is that the 2000 student
tickets, taken away roughly
two years ago, will be given
back. With these 2000, the stu-
dent allotment of football tick-
ets will jump to about 11,500.

Now that UK football is
winning more games, students
are showing interest in their
allotment again.

“We plan on giving those
2000 seats back next season,"
Clevidence said.

Forty box suites are also
being added to the stadium.

“All 40 suites have already
been assigned." Clevidence

said. “We didn't have any stu-
dents apply for the suites,"

The suites cost $39,500 a
season and include a five
season contract, and “the oc-
cupant of the suite is al-
lowed to have whatever bev-
erage they desire," DeBin
said.

If students were to buy a
suite, would this rule con-
flict with UK’s dry campus
policy?

“If they were 21 years old
and had leased the suite, I
don’t see why not," Clevi-
dence said.

Other University officials
weren’t sure.

“I don't know,” said Tony
Neely, Sports Information Di-
rector for Football. “That’s a
good question.”

MILK

Continued from page i

from milk per day (700 mg)
than non-athletes (200 mg).

The UK football team had
a “Milk Mustache” team photo
taken Wednesday night, but
are not eligible for the contest
because of NCAA rules.

The campaign used milk-
shakes instead of plain milk to
get a more noticeable mus-
tache for pictures.

“The actual milk they use
in the ads is not really milk,”
Forrest said. “No one knows
for sure what they use, but it
is a milk mixture.”

Free T-shirts were also
given away that read, “Milk
Where’s Your Mustache?”

Although numerous stu-
dents took part in the event,
some were concerned with

“false advertising” that the
event portrayed.

“They said that we would
all receive a free T-shirt, and
a picture” said Amanda
Brudette, a social work se-
nior. “I mean, we’re allowing
them to come to our school,
and we showed up for this
expecting to get what they
told us we would. They need
to compensate for some-
thing.”

The “Got Milk" Campaign
officials said they did not have
enough shirts for everyone.

They asked nutrition triv-
ia questions to random stu-
dents for their chance to win a
T-shirt, and did not receive
their picture.

Shebawn Akers, also so-
cial work senior said, “I’d
just like to know who lied
about it," she said, “SAB or
the campaign?”

It’s Cats, Vols
in season finale

UK travels to Knoxville this weekend for a showdown
with Tennessee that will determine the SEC East champ

By J“ Smith

SENIOR SlAFF WRITER

Confidence is key.
And both Tennessee and
UK have plenty of it to go
around.

In the second half of
the UK men‘s basketball
game vs. Vanderbilt
Wednesday night, the
team looked like its old
self. UK Coach Tubby
Smith said.

And that confidence
will help it rise to the occa-
sion in a divisional show-
down Sunday against Tens

nessee in
Knoxville.
“I feel comfortable

with our players going
into this game, especially
with our veteran players
who have been (in big
games) before," Smith
said yesterday during the
Southeastern Conference
coaches teleconference.

But with the Eastern
Division No. 1 spot on the
line. the Volunteers say
they won‘t go down easily.

"The win at Kentucky
(47-46 in January) seemed
to help our players confi-
dence wise." UT Coach
Jerry Green said. “I think
we're more confident than
we were a year ago.“

The Vols have reason
to be confident. They just
came off their fifth consec-
utive win. a convincing
7565 win over Georgia in
Athens this week. The
team was led 17 points
apiece from Tony Harris
and Brandon Wharton.

Green said. “We‘re excite Mike Bradley anti Ma

ed. We're ready.“

That's OK. the Cats
(22-7. 11-4) say they‘re
ready. too.

“Right now we‘re all
in sync with what coach
wants as far as our roles
go.“ center Jamaal Mas
gloire said. “(Ten-
nessee‘s) a situation
where we have to get
them in foul trouble and
play hard the whole
game. It's going to be a
tough environment.“

Things are a little dif-
ferent for both teams
since their Jan. 12 match-
up. Cold shooting domi-
nated both ends of the
floor then. when Ten-
nessee had its first win in

gloire. A quicker. smaller
lineup has been added.
subbing freshman
Desmond Allison for Ma-
gloire.

Senior Padgett said
that lineup will make the
difference for UK.

“The last time we
played a big lineup
against them. they Were
much quicker." Padgett
said. “(The smaller line-
up) will definitely help US.
if they‘re physical. we‘ve
got to play through that
and let them know they're
in a battle."

Tennessee is ready
for the battle. Green said.
because its offense has
improved since then.

Defense
funds

WASHINGTON - Helped
by a direct mail
campaign attacking
the congressional
impeachment
process, President
Clinton's legal
defense fund raised
$4.5 million last year,
officials said
Wednesday.

A report on the
donations was
released yesterday
by the Clinton Legal
Expense Fund. The
director, Anthony F.
Essaye, estimated
that the Clintons'
legal fees since the
president took office
total almost $10
million. That includes
some expenses that
have been paid,
officials said.

We'll write when,
and if, the Kernel
gets any better

To the editor:

Luke Saladin’s Feb. 22 plea for
new Kernel writers fell on deaf
ears. I won’t speak for the rest of
the campus. but I would be
ashamed to have my name at-
tached to such a poor publication.

Every day. the Kernel finds all-
new typos and misspellings to
print. Normally this would convo-
lute the message of the writings,
but most often, the columns have
no meaning anyway (i.e. “Bubba
needs to take his whoop-ass”).
Every day, the same tired argu-
ments plague the Dialogue page in
the same unsupported, whining,
condescending. oversimplified
fashion from the same obnoxious,
self-impressed writers. Every day,
I am insulted by needless quotes
printed only because they contain
profanity and because the editors
get a kick out of “sticking it to ‘the
man."'

Take a look at other local pa-
pers. especially the College
Heights Herald from Western Ken-
tucky University. and you might
learn something. There is no rea-
son we need the paper to come out
every day, and maybe if you took a
little more time. you could produce

a worthwhile product. If you want
to see what the students really
think about your paper, try charg-
ing one cent for it. For that matter,
charge one cent for a year's sub-
scription. To no surprise of mine, I
think you'd end up with a number
of pennies equal to the number of
people on your staff — but only if
you charge them too.

Run-in with TA
leaves student
with bad taste

To the editor:

Most teaching assistants are
wonderful people, willing to help
out when needed and always there
when you need to talk. Like I said,
most are. I am sure some of you
have had those teachers assistants
who either do not understand your
needs or take it upon themselves
to fill you in on their views. I re-
cently had a run in with
