if we had a less

Athlete alcohol policy revised

A little more tolerance: Student-athletes convicted of DUI
will not lose scholarships, but will be suspended for one year

By John Dobson
SPORISDAILV EDITOR

UK Athletics Director Larry Ivy an-
nounced a revision of the school’s student-
athlete alcohol policy on Thursday. which
will allow students convicted of DU] to re-
main on scholarship and continue to prac-
tice with their teams during a mandatory
one-year suspension from competition.

The changes mean that suspended bas-
ketball player .Iules (‘amara will be able to
retain his scholarship but lays to rest
any possibility that the forward could re-
turn before next season.

The revision comes at the behest of the
committee Ivy formed in October to exam-
ine the zero-tolerance policy. which still
stands as one of the Nl‘AA's toughest.

"I had felt that the current policy was
unfair to our student-athletes." lvy said. "It
took away their scholarship for a year and
forced them to pay their own way if they
were to continue."

UK men's basketball coach Tubby
Smith, who was traveling and not available
for comment. had previously expressed a
desire to see such cases handled with a
more subiective set of rules. l'pon the polir
cy‘s inipleinentation in November 1998.

Stiiitli said he didn't feel that punishment
should be dished out without some measure
ofjurisprudence.

"I don't necessarily believe in an auto
matic anything." Siiiiili told Iilt' Lexington
Herald-Leader. "I don't think anything in
life is automatic Even In the court oflaw.
certain things are automatic but it's up
to the judge's discretion. too,"

At UK‘s media day this ()ctobr-r. Smith
reiterated that position and l'XpI‘t‘ssi-fi con
cern over the policy's mandate that offend
ers be removed from practice and their
scholarship revoked. "It's tough to distance
them from us like that.” Smith said. "If you
want to help the young men. you've got to
get them even closer,"

A candle in the night: UK
organizations participate
in human rights march

By Kathy Wyatt

STAFF WRITER

The streets were in flames last
night. but there was no need to call the
fire department.

The fire that lit up the night came
from individual candles held in the
hands of students during a march for
the 3rd annual Universal Declaration of
Human Rights Celebration. sponsored
by UK’s Amnesty International.

The Universal Declaration of Hu-
man Rights was ratified in 1948. This
agreement, which includes 30 human
rights. was encouraged by the tragedies
of the Holocaust and covers rights from
acceptable housing to the right of re-
ceiving education.

Gov. Paul Patton dedicated Dec.10
as United Nations Declaration of Hu-
man Rights in Kentucky.

The event began with a candlelit
march that led to The Arts Place on Mill
Street. where the festivities continued.
Amy Shelton. a Spanish and linguistics
senior and Amnesty group coordinator.
said the night‘s celebration atmosphere
came from work to find entertainment
and speakers.

“We really want it to be a celebra-
tion," she said.

The evening included a poetry read-
ing by Nikky Finney. UK English pro-
fessor, music by the High Street Band
and various other speakers. including
Lexington HeraldsLeader cartoonist
Joel Pett.

Each of the speakers talked about
their organizations and how they were
related to human rights.

‘I didn't expect it at all': Holloway
returns to internal chaos in SGA

By Tracy Kershaw

NEWS EDITOR

(in Monday night. Amanda Holloway sipped a
drink at a cafe in Germany on her way back from a
nineday trip to Belams. not expecting the chaos she
would face two days later.

On Wednesday night. she sat beside Student Gov-
ernment Association President Jimmy (ilenn as the
senate voted for his removal from office. The Senate
found Glenn guilty of four charges at the trial,

Holloway. SGA vice president. now awaits the
mandatory second vote on .Ian. 24 to see if she will
move into the president's seat.

President was never a position she thought she
Would be in.

“I didn't expect it at all." she said. “i thought that
with having a new Senate that a lot of the problems
would had been fixed. ldidn't think that this was in our
future at all."

The English junior said she will focus on restoring
SGA's reputation and getting some “awesome" things
done on campus. no matter what position she is in next

 

semester.

The Senate's decision to remove (ilenn surprised
her. she said.

“They must be pretty passionate about this be
cause they did take action." she said. "Most times when
it comes to controversial issues they will take time to
think about things."

She is in a difficult situation.

“It is an awkward time right now because I am try
ing to serve the students and work for them and there
is a lot of internal conflict." she said.

Plus. she calls (ilenn a great friend. but has good
relationships with the senators. including the ‘31 that
voted against him Wednesday.

But her reiwrtoire with the Senate could come in
handy ifshe must move into (ilenn's role.

"I definitely think things will calm down." she said.

(‘alin didn‘t come close to describing Wednesday.

She and other student leaders hart just returned the
night before from a nine-day trip with (‘ampiis (‘rusade
for Christ. where they visited an orphanage and met
with other students to talk about spiritual issues. It was
an uplifting trip. she said.

And a far cry from an impeachment trial. most
would agree.

“Wednesday night it was about 3 o‘clock in the
morning for me." she said. “It was just a crazy
evening."
