Roe v. l/Vade 24 years old

By Gary Wull

:lytm‘idte Nari Editor

'l‘wenty—four years after the
fateful day when the U.S.
Supreme Court handed down a
decision that divided the country,
students stand on both sides of
the abortion issue.

On one side are students who
do not agree with the court's deci-
sion like Kentucky Youth for Life

In the years since the verdict,
llarman said she has seen an
increase in what she calls the
“vocal minority" ~ those who are
ant-abortion.

“For the ﬁrst few years after
the decision, there were not a lot
of people in the vocal minority,

Through a fairly new program at UK,
faculty can pursue business interests with-
out relinquishing their teaching duties,
Joseph Fink told the Board of Trustees at
a meeting yesterday.

Fink, a faculty member in the College
of Pharmacy, directs the Advanced Sci—
ence and Technology Commercialization
Center (ASTeCC).

Fink said the ASTeCC has ﬁve objec-
tives:

VTo conduct hi ’h quality research in
interdisciplinary ﬁelds (focusing on
bipolymers, computational sciences,
material sciences, molecular biology and
pharmaceutical engineering).

VTo transfer technology from the
University to the private sector.

VTo provide ﬁnancial incentives for
entrepreneurial faculty that will allow
them to remain on the faculty while pur—
suing business interests.

VTo enhance the University's income
stream.

7T0 facilitate economic development.

“I would emphasize the importance of
getting people to work across traditional
disciplinary boundaries," Fink said, “to
have engineers working with pharma
people, to have businesses wor 'ng with
engineers.”

The academic departments involved in
the two-year-old ASTcCC include agri-

As an illustration of these business'
activities, Fink said Equine Biodiagnostics

The faculty member developed a test
for the disorder, and now veterinarians
send fluid samples to Equine Diagnostics.

The company then mails back the
results.

Fink said he hopes UK graduates will
find employment in ASTeCC-created
businesses.

The Board also approved a policy revi-
sion that will prohibit students from
receiving any tuition refund if they with—
draw from classes after the fourth week of
the semester. The change takes effect
next fall.

Students can receive a partial refund
through the eighth week of the semester.

According to the action item voted on
by the trustees, the revision “will enable
the University to ﬁnalize refunds earlier
in the semester, allow for im roved rev-
enue forecasting, improve a location of
faculty resources and bring the refund
policy more in line with other institu—

tions."

Walters attends inauguration as guest

NEW YORK —— Yes, that was Barbara Walters
sitting behind President Clinton as he gave his
inaugural address. For the ﬁrst lnauguration Day
in her professional career, the television journalist
was there as a guest, not to ask questions.

“It’s thrilling, and much easier,” she told The
New York Times in a cellular phone interview
during Monday's inaugural parade. The ABC
“20/20” anchorwoman was there as the date of
Republican Sen. john Warner of Virginia, whom
she has seen socially for several years. Warner is
the chairman of the Joint Congressional Commit-

Pitino asking trio
to elevate games

By Brett Dawson
Senior Staff Writer

For the better part of a year and
a half, Wayne Turner, scorer
extraordinaire, has been bottled
up inside of Wayne Turner, solid
role layer.

ow Rick Pitino’s inviting him
out to play.

After learning on Monday that
a knee injury would put shooting
guard Derek Anderson on the
shelf for the remainder of the sea-
son, Pitino yesterday called on
Turner, Allen Edwards and Scott
Pad ett to take their games to new
heig ts.

“(The challenge) is how good
can we become without Derek
Anderson, and we’ll ﬁnd that out
in the months to come.” Pitino
said. “Instead of guys ste iping up
next year, they’ve got to o it right
now.”

Turner, a sophomore who
averaged almost 37 points a game
as a high school senior, can deal
with that.

“You’re going to see me look—
ing to create a whole lot more,
looking to get into the lane a
whole lot more, looking for my
shot a whole lot more," Turner
said yesterday. “In high school, I
wasn’t the best shooter, but I man—
aged to score a lot of points get—
ting into the lane and getting

some of those old-fashioned
three-pointers.”

Edwards, who likely will step
into Anderson’s starting two-

ard spot tonight against Van-
ﬁrbilt, will focus a bit more on
the new—fashioned three-pointers.
His 18 three—pointers make him
third among the remaining Wild-
cats.

But Edwards won’t rely onl on
his outside shot. Instead, he’lltry
to provide the all-around game
that Anderson brought to the
court.

Realizing that his teammates
are counting on him won’t
increase the pressure, Edwards
said. It’ll make things easier.

“It’s going to boost my confi-
dence because from now on I’m
goin into the game looking for
my 5 0t —— not in a selﬁsh way, but
(because) I have to,” Edwards said.
“I know I can be more aggressive
and t to make things happen."

Pa gett has been counted on to
grovidc a spark off the bench since

e became eligible in late Decem—
ber. With Anderson gone, that
becomes even more essential.

UK looking to bounce back against Vbnderbz’lt

By Chris Easterling
Sports Editor

UK will attempt to rebound from the loss of
Derek Anderson when it faces Vanderbilt
tonight at “Rupp Arena North,” better known
as Cincinnati’s Riverfront Coliseum.

The game is part of doubleheader with the
UK women’s team, which faces No. 4 Alabama
at 5:30 pm. The “’ildcats and Commodores
tip off at 7:30, or 30 minutes after the conclu—

sion of the women's game.

The Commodores enter the game with a
11-5 record overall, 3-2 in the Southeastern
Conference. They are third in the SEC East-
ern Division, a game behind the second-place
Cats (16-2, 4-1), and two games behind 5—0

South Carolina.

Vanderbilt is on a two—game winning streak,
knocking off LSU in Baton Rouge, La., before

upsetting Ole Miss on Saturday in Nashville.

number of times they go to the foul line,” UK

coach Rick Pitino said. “That's a big part of

Vandy opponents average six more fouls a

game than the ’Dores on the season.

Leading the scoring for Vanderbilt is 6-
foot-S forward Pax Whitehead, averaging 15.1
points per game. He is second on the squad in
three-point shooting, hitting 40.7 percent of
his outside shots.

Right behind Whitehead in scoring and
outside shooting is junior Drew Mattox. Mat—
tox is a former high school teammate of UK
forward Ron Mercer while at Goodpasture

High School in I rashville, Tenn, and the two

have remained close since.

Mattox was one ofthe reasons that Mercer
seriously considered Vanderbilt during the
recruitment process.

Mattox is averaging 13.2 points per game,

along with a team-high 2.4 steals and 3.0 assists

a game.

’ UK's backcourt took a serious hit with the loss of Derek Anderson. Wayne Turner
‘ and Allen Edwards will each be asked to significantly contribute if the Cats are to
have success not only against Vanderbilt, but for the rest of the season.
Vanderbilt’s backcourt has a talented player in the form of Drew Maddux. Maddux
3 is second on the Vandy team in scoring with a 13.2 point per game average.

filDllliCUUBi

The Cats will rely on Ron Mercer to provide the scoring punch now that Anderson
is out. But Mercer has been in a serious shooting funk, that if he does not get out
of soon, could cost the Cats. Jared Prickett and Scott Padgett also must stay out
of foul trouble. Pax Whitehead is Vanderbilt's top frontcourt player, averaging
15.1 points a game while shooting 40.7 percent outside the three-point line.

Talk about an area that took a severe blow for the Wildcats. UK will only have 10
players available for tonight's game, with only three players legitimately able to
come off the bench. Look for Padgett, Jamaal Magloire and Turner to see a lot of
time of the bench. Vandy also has a relatively small bench, going about five deep.

‘- Maddux and Mercer were high school teammates for two years while at
Goodpasture High School in Nashville, Term. The two have remained close
friends sinceleaving high school. Maddux is a year ahead of Mercer UK leads
the series against Vanderbilt 112-35. and the Commodores have never won on a

Wildcats to battle cream of conference crop in fourth-ranked Alabama

By Rob Herhst
Weekend Sports Editor

Tonight will be nothing new
for the UK women’s basketball
team. It’s a game against yet
another Top 25 team.

Because the Cats play in the
Southeastern Conference, playing
a nationally-ranked team has
become a common ritual for them.
At one time during the season the
SEC had eight teams in the Top
25.

This time UK will face
arguably the best team the confer—
ence has to offer. The Cats (6—10)
take on No.4 Alabama in Cincin—
nati, part of the ﬁrst ame of a
doubleheader with the K men’s
team.

It will be the Cats' fourth con-
secutive ame a ainst a nationally—
ranked oe. U was successful in
its last matchup against a Top 25
team, and that victory was one of

the biggest victories under head
coach Bernadette Mattox.

Last Tuesday the Cats defeated
then—N10. 18 Western Kentucky
79-73, but UK knows they will be
facing one of the nation‘s best
teams tonight.

“We can't rest on that win,”
Mattox said. “We have to improve
and get better and not allow any
second shots.” '

Rebounding was a big problem
for the Cats against Western Ken~
tucky. UK was outrebounded 41-
25 in an otherwise even statistical
battle.

What made the victory even
more impressive was that UK
junior forward Shaunda Roberts
missed the game due to a recur-
rin back injury.

The injury has haunted Roberts
throughout the season and her sta-
tus for tonight is uncertain.

“She’s still day-to-day but I
doubt we'll see her playing,” Mat-

tox said. “We need to get her back
corn letcly healthy. When we’ve
put er in, she goes right back
down a ain. We’re goin r to take
as muc time as necdet for her
back to get healthy.”

For the Cats to pull off the
upset tonight, UK must have an
outstanding defensive night. The
Tide is on a roll, coming off a vic-
tory at conference powerhouse
Georgia last week.

“We’re going to have one of
our best defensive nights of the
year,” Mattox said. “Alabama's a
great team. On paper, they should
win it all.

“Alabama's not going to slow
down for us. The know it's an
SEC ame and t ey should be
ready or us.”

Tonight's ame in Riverfront
Coliseum will the second game
ever for Mettox’s squad in the
Queen Ci . Last season they lost
to Miami( hio)71-62.

Jane Cam ion established herself
as one of lilm’s best international
directors. With her latest work,
Tb: Portrait 0 a Lady, the creative
inspiration 0 The Piano must have
died with borrowed literature.

The introductory credit
sequence, depicting a contempo-
rary group of young females
speaking of their first kiss, ave
ho e for a fresh 5 in on the ta e of
Isa el Archer. \ ’hen the actual
story took over, though, hope
quickly became hurry up.

Nicole Kidman shows plenty of
range in one of the better roles of
her career, but she goes a little too
far with the weeping toward the
end. Rather than cryin with her,
providing a tissue an a muzzle
seemed more appropriate.

Her niale counterpart, john
Malkovich, plays the role of
Gilbert Osmond the same as his
performances in Dangerous

iaisons, In the Line of Fire and
practically every other film he’s
done. Only this time his creepy
mannerisms wear thin and he loses
the despicable Iikability of previ-
ous efforts.

The impressive cast, which
includes Mary-Louise Parker,
Shellev \Vinters, Richard E. (irant
and Shelley Duvall, left only one
impressionable performance. Bar-
bara Hershey, as Osmond's mis-
tress, delivered her lines with a
fiery passion, thus hi hlighting
her from the other waflting—dead
cast—mates.

Cam )ion brin 5 out some of
the stri "rig visuaTs in her reper‘
toire, but in comparison to her
earlier work, Portrait is fairly dull.
Her characteristic use of deep blue
colors. varying speeds and ironic
character compositions comes
across as ineffective when placed
in this text. Usually when classic
novels become films one can
appreciate the literature, if noth-
ing else. In this case, the only
appreciation comes from Campi—
on and her crew.

I’ve never read Henry ,lames'
novel, but knowing the film is a
close adaptation ensures that I
never will develo likable charac-
ters and an ina )ility to create
sparks between the leads. The Por-
trait ofa Lady is about as exciting
as my grandma's Friday nights
and she’s dead.

If you toss this advice the only
iortrait you’ll get is one of film's
biggest let-downs in some time.

‘Metro’
* ‘A' *1/2
By Josh Herr

Action ﬁlms are often criticized
for being cliché. It’s rare to find a
truly original action film such as
the original Die Hard or True Lies.
Like any film genre, there are cer—
tain elements that can’t be avoided
—— the hero, the villain, a few chas-
es, a few fights and almost invari—
abl an attractive love interest.

The pleasure in watching these
films is seeing how a director can
rearrange these elements, like a
cinematic Rubix cube, into a new
pattern to please even the most
jaded of movie viewers. \Vith
Metro, director Thomas Carter
and star Eddie Murphy have man-
aged to give us a film that, even if
not entirely original, is at least
entirely entertaining.

Murphy a pears to be on a roll
after years 0 cinematic doldrums.
Last ear’s Nutt Professor proved
that e can sti I be viable both
commercially and critically. Now
with his return to the action—com-
edy vein that he almost single-
handedly popularized in the mid-
’805 he proves that last summer
