The two boys huddled together, wrapped in a white UK blanket to shield
themselves from the dripping afternoon cold.

James Kay and Alex Tingle, both 10, along with Tingle's mother, were
among the first fans to arrive at Lexington’s Blue Grass Airport yesterday
afternoon to greet the UK Wildcats upon their return from an overtime de-

feat against Michigan in the Final Four

in New Orleans.

A blue Wildcat cap topping his head, Kay said if Jamal Mashbum (his
favorite) or one of the other Wildcats would walk over to the fence behind

generic crowd clamoring and caterwauling.
Speech pathology sophomore Amy Anderson said she wanted the Wild-
cats to know fans like her were still proud of the learn. “I just wanted to

show them my support. Let them know

I still love them."

Unlike many UK students who gathered in residence hall rooms and res-
taurants to watch Saturday night’s game, Anderson had a prior engage-

ment, having already invested nearly

$80 in tickets to the Alan Jackson

concert, inconveniently scheduled at the same time.

That didn‘t stop her from following the contest.

She said she “listened to them on my Walkman during the Alan Jackson
concert." Her ears must have taken a beating because all during the show “I

had (the volume) all the way up."

ing Michi-
gan's final
timeout.

 

NEW ORLEANS — Same
arena. similar situation. Only
this time, Michigan didn't gift
wrap the national championship
for North Carolina like George-
town did in 1982.

But the Wolverines did lend a
helping hand. Down 73-71 with
20 seconds left, Michigan sopho-
more center Chris Webber called
a timeout — a timeout Michigan
did not have. In fact, he did it
twice —— once on the inbounds
pass, but the officials didn’t give
it to him then or the second time
at the other baseline.

“1 called a timeout that we did
not have, and I probably cost us
the game," Webber said.

Webber said he did not know
the Wolverines were out of time-
outs, and that he couldn‘t re-
member if it was discussed dur-

 

 

“We
thought they
knew,"
Michigan
coach Steve
Fisher said.
“Apparently.
we did not
make it clear
enough. Ap~
parently, we weren't specific
enough."

Michigan was assessed a tech-
nical foul and North Carolina's
Donald Williams iced the techni-
ml free throws to give Carolina a
commanding 75-71 lead.

Webber blamed himself. Fish-
er relieved hirn of blame.

“I'm the guy that should have
made cenain everybody knew,"
Fisher said.

North Carolina forward
George Lynch, one of the Tar

Heels who was

ber, said he
heard Webber's
teammates tell-
ing him to call a
timeout.

“It sounded
like the whole
bench was say-
ing, ‘Call time-
out. Call timeout.”
" Lynch said.

Fisher himself alluded to the
1982 game when North Carolina
locked up the game when, with
the Hoyas down 62-61 and 32
seconds remaining, Georgetown
forced the ball upcourt without a
timeout. but Georgetown’s Fred
Brown choked, throwing a pass
directly into the hands of Caroli-
na‘s James Wonhy.

“Sometimes when you get in
the heat of the battle, things hap-
pen that you say can‘t happen."
Fisher said.

MICHIGAN 71

 

Carolina coach Dean
Smith, attempting to detract
attention from the Webber
goof. said he thought the
game was already in good
hands.

“I don't think that timeout
necessarily won the game for
North Carolina or lost it for
Michigan," Smith said.

“Neither one necessarily
meant that we wouldn't
win,“ Smith said. “It's all
part of the game. We of-
ten said that you have to be
lucky and good."

If the Michigan mistake
was the luck part. Final Four
Most Outstanding Player
Donald Williams, who made
five-of—seven three-pointers
on the way to scoring a
game-high 25 points, was the
good.

Women must request
equality, speaker says

 

By Jen Bryant
Contributing Writer

 

One of the principal reasons
women do not receive equal pay
and promotions is they don‘t ask
for them. a women‘s rights activist
said this weekend.

Elanor Smeal, founder of the
Fund for the Feminist Majority and
former president of the National
League for Women, addressed
nearly 1,000 sorority members
from 100 college campuses during
her keynote speech Saturday at the
Southeastern Panhellenic Confer—
ence held at UK.

"We must go for power in the
form of promotions. in the form of
pay raises. There is no reason to
take half as much.“ Smeal told the
audience.

Smeal, a Phi Beta Kappa from
Duke University. said it was natural
for her to become involved with
feminist issues.

“I was very active in college, in
all my life really. but I don't like
injustice." Smeal said before the
speech.

“I think my parents saw how it
hurt people. and they instilled in
me a desire to help people. When I
saw how cheated women were. it
was just natural to get involved.“

Smeal‘s speech, “Empowering
Women,“ addressed progress made
and ground to be covered in the
arena of women’s rights.

The festival's purpose is to en-

ASU President Ahmad Burrinni
said the organization seeks to “show
American students the real Arab
culture. not that presented by the
media."

The ASU‘s eagerness to break the
stereotypes is evident in the stu-
dents‘ warrn spirit and hospitality
towards customers.

While enjoying delectable pas-
tries like baklava. mamoul and kna-
fee. accompanied by strong Arabic
coffee. students may stroll around.

Smeal said the greatest accom-
plishment for women in the past 20
years has been the advancement of
public knowledge on women‘s
rights and increased challenges to
inequality.

"We have cracked higher educa-
tion.“ Smeal said. citing increased
enrollment of women in nearly eve-
ry discipline.

Smeal also emphasized the neces-
sity for further change. With only
I I percent of tenured professorships
now going to women. she said, it
would take 435 years to reach
equality at the present rate of
growth.

Smeal said women are not given
the self-esteem to seek leadership
when they are young. and the result
is underrepresentation in power po-
sitions.

“If we want to change it. we must
challenge it." she said. pointing out
that women average about 5 percent
of the voice in the most powerful
decision-making processes.

"We wanted someone who would
be inspiring and who had a message
to women." said Panhellenic Coun-
cil adviser and Assistant Dean of
Students Susan West.

“The women around me seemed
inspired. like they had a responsibil-
ity to go out there and seek leader-
ship positions.“ West said. “They
need to be encouraged because
many don't have the self-esteem to
