Living up to expectations of
being the Cat is not simple

By Marc Elmore
(fontrthmmg H 'ritcr

()n the surface, (iavin l)uer-
son is a hard-working student
with a double major in manage-
ment and marketing. But deep
down there is a \Vildcat waiting
to claw itselfloosc froin the rig-
ors ofclasses at L'K.

He is a cat who wants to see
Kentucky athletics
succeed in every
way. Duerson is the
\‘l'ildcat mascot.

Before coming

didn't think about
becoming a mascot.

“The idea never

“You know, I like football
and basketball about the
same," [)uerson said. “But I
have to say that basketball is a
whole lot easier to do."

Basketball and football
games are only two of [)uer—
son's obligations.

He makes appearances at
baseball games throughout the
year. He sfpeaks at high school

And Duerson's creativity

shows. In the National Mascot

Competition. he finished sec-

ond in the nation behind
Alabama's mascot.

Even with all this competi-
tion among mascots. Ducrson
says there are rarely any ill
feelings between furry crea-
tures. In fact. the Cat and the
Auburn Tiger are buddies, as

“I think the (lat is the rea-

“He‘s the best mascot in the
country, hands down."

It may seem like there are
only benefits when it comes to
being the Kentucky mascot,
but there are some negatives
as well.

Duerson has to practice
quite a bit. He has to be at
every game early and cannot
leave until an hour and a half
after the game is over. Dur-
ing football season. Ducrson
has no free time on the
weekends.

Duerson said he sweats off

message of | lodding (Iartcr III to a campus crowd

The lecture has been an annual event since

“Most of us come to this business out of .iii

than just serving as a government watchdog.

(larter's beliefs rise out of his beginnings w ith .1
small Mississippi newspaper that focused heanly
on the cotnmunity. He spent 18 years there .ind
said they were among the best years of his life.

DAYTUNA, Fla. —~ After tnore than a year of
hard Work and endless preparation. the \\'ildc.it
l)an7.ers saw their dreams of .i national dance
championship slip through their fingers as quickly
as their foiir-and—a—half minute routine last Satur—
day in Daytona. Ha.

The l)an7.er.s finished third behind Brigham
Young L'niversity and the L'niversity of Nebraska.
Despite entering the competition as the top-ranked
team. the [)amers saw obstacles slowly mounting.

As preliminaries got underway Thursday after
noon. the l)an7,ers were clearly the crowd favorite.
L'nfortunately the judges. appointed by the
National (Iheerleading .-\ssociation. didn‘t share
these sentiments. Kentucky found itself in fifth
place going into Friday's filial round.

“They were clearly the best team in the corn 0-

you don't need to be an expert to know that these
girls were the best ones out there."

The Danzcrs were just as shocked as the specta-
tors. Management senior Andrea Masters said
their score wasn't what they ex ctcd.

But the l)an7.ers put the set—

As a powerful influence on the early abolitionist movement. the trial was moral

Students against re-run

Say second 5 GA election
will be worse than first

By Jed Leano
smfi‘wmer

While the Student Government
Association Elections Board hand—
etl a decision today to hold another
election, freshman communications
major Kent O’Brien sat in (Zom—
inon (irounds with a cu ) of coffee
in one hand, a copy ofl the Ken-
tucky Kernel in the other hand and
a confused look on his face.

Like many students, O'Brien
was surprised to read about SGA’S
second election.

“I didn't know they were even
going on," O'Brien said. “I heard
about them on the last day of vot—
ing. l never met any of the candi—
dates. l don't know anything
about what they do, and I don‘t
know what they stand for."

()‘Brien is not alone. There are
other students who say another
election is neither important nor
exciting.

Exercise science seniorjennifer
jameson said a second election
will be received very poorly by
students.

“No one cared the first time,
and no one will care the second
time,”Jameson said.

“SGA elections are never a big
deal, and regardless of what peo-
ple are accused of doing, it
wouldn‘t have made that big a dif-
ference in the outcome of the
election," he said. “The winners
still would've won anyway."

The frustration over havin
elections again runs deep witli
many students. Nlarketin fresh-
man Christian Adler said I ere are
bound to be rule violations in
large-scale elections, and there
probably will be more violations
in the next election as well.

“These violations make abso-
lutely no difference in the out-
come of the election," Adler said.
“But some people see the need to

tnake a big deal out of petty
offenses, and now I have to go out
and vote all over again."

Political science junior
Jonathan Mayberry's frustrations
are specifically targeted at SGA
for not keeping all assigned poll

“lt's too bad to see
all their hard work go
to waste," Mayberry
said. “But when more than three
poll locations are not open, the
election just isn’t valid."
Regardless of who is to blame,

“As long as SGA

remains a mystery to

students, people will
continue be apathetic.

“Voter turnout for the last
election was low, and turnout for
this next election will be even
lower.”

newspapers should focus on their
strength, which is in-depth
reporting and analysis.

“journalists should see what
the people understand reality to
be," (Iarter said.

(Iarter said that today's news—

being completely informed about
the events and decisions that
affect them.
