After 24 hours on their feet, DanceBlue participants cheer as volunteers hold up numbers displaying the total amount of money raised this year. $424,855.89 More students partici-
pated in this year's DanceBlue than last year, and nearly twice as much money was raised for the UK Children's Hospital.

All-night fight against cancer

24-hour dancing raises record funds

Savyon Duke‘s feet barely touched
the ground the entire 24 hours of Dance~
Blue.

lf he wasn’t being carried around
on the back of Alpha Phi Omega team
members. he was busy running around
Memorial (‘oliseum playing games and
talking with the many people that were
happy to see him there again for anoth-
er year.

Looking at \CVL‘llry‘tquOItl Savyon.
it wasn't easy to tell he was a cancer
survivor. He was diagnosed with
leukemia in 2003 but is currently in re—
mission.

DanceBlue. the student-led
fundraiser for the Pediatric Oncology
Unit at UK (‘hildrcn's Hospital. had its
third—annual 24—hour dance marathon
on Friday and Saturday iii Memorial

Coliseum. While supporting children
like Savyon is at the root of DanceBlue.
the event was aimed just as much at
families,

Savyon‘s parents. Doraliee and
Ricky Duke. and all four of their chil-
dren have cotne to the event each year.

“We‘ve been looking forward to this
all year." Doraliee Duke said.

This year. DanceBlue raised
3424.855. almost doubling the total from
last year. and nearly 500 UK students
danced for a solid 24 hours at the merit.
The irioney helps provide emotional
support for families that have children
with cancer. as well as help to fund can»
cer research. according to the Dance-
Blue Web site (wwwdanceblueorg).

To help support the event. Gov.
Steve Beshear declared Saturday to be
DanceBlue Day. and men’s basketball

“It is crucial that people understand

ing discipline." said Lumpp. who has
been participating iii E—Day for more
than l5 years. “It doesn‘t matter if
someone chooses mechanical or elec»

n't narrow."

A high tumout made this year‘s E«
Day a success. said electrical and com—
puter engineering lecturer Jeff Ashley.
He said he was anxious to see potential
engineers get the full experience of the
event.

“Our hope is to provide an excite-
ment about engineering and to get
people to focus on math and science
while in college." Ashley said. “What
most people don‘t know is that the de-

mand for engineers is so high. About
half of the nation‘s power engineers
are retiring within the next 10 to l5
years."

Ashley featured an exhibit that
showed the advances that have been
made in technology rising basic build—
ing blocks of logic.

"Technology has come a long way
from transistor-transistor logic. w inch

he said.

UK snatched another victory from the
jaws of defeat Saturday. this time a 63-58 win
over Arkansas in front of 24.371 fans at Rupp

A tournament bid is not something the
Cats are focused on. Instead. the team has

Earlier in his career. Henry Pet—
roski never thought of writing a
book because “it‘s just not some—
thing an engineer does."

Since then. Petroski has written
13 books. The nationally recog—
nized expen in engineering and
structural failure said that writing
helped him to discover a lot about
his profession.

“The writing process is really a
process of discovery." Petroski said
during a speech in the King Alumni
House on Friday.

Through his books. he has been
able to explain to the public and to
himself some of the engineering
failures of recent past.

“In order to make a successful
design. you‘ve got to have failure."
Petroski said about his best-selling
book "To Engineer is Human: The
Role of Failure in Successful De—
sign."

what mistakes they are making. Pet»
roski said

“People w tinted context and
they wanted to know where the fal-
libility was coming iiiio play." he
said.

Engineering is complex when
dealing with complex systems. Pct-

l’ctroski stressed the impoiv

“Writing is design and design is

UK’s success in conference play is
almost impossible to explain

In the pre-Southeastem Conference
schedule. UK lost to San Diego and-got
crushed by Gardner—Webb. (Quick GW up-
date: the Runnin‘ Bulldogs are 9~5 in the
Atlantic Sun Conference and 15~13 overall.

hardly the Cat killers
they seemed to be in
early November.)

Right now, the
Cats are relying on
contributions from
about six players. The
rest of the roster is in—
adequate when they do
play. or not adequate
enough in practice to
play.

On Saturday
against Arkansas. only
five players scored for

UK. Of the players that are scoring for the
Cats. they‘re not doing it enough. UK is
10th in SEC play in points per game.

So the Cats were awful in the first l3
games of the season. they have absolutely
no depth and a lot of fringe talent, and they
have a hard time scoring.

And yet they‘re 9-3 in the SEC. It does-
n't make any sense at all.

“By the way the season started. no I
can‘t (believe UK is 9-3 in the SEC)."
freshman forward Patrick Patterson said.
“At the very beginning of the season. I did—
n‘t think we‘d be at the point that we are

HOW.

BASKETBALL

So how in the world is this team in sec—
ond place in the SEC East‘.’ How have they
won three games in a row and eight of their
last nine? How did they beat a much more
talented and deeper Arkansas team 63-58
this weekend. a team that UK head coach
Billy Gillispie said was one of the most tal-
ented teams in the country?

It‘s impossible to point to one specific
reason why UK has been so successful in
SEC play. You know why'.’ Because it‘s so
unclear. But here‘s an attempt to explain the
unexplainable.

One factor is how well UK has played
in late-game situations. UK has played nine
SEC games that have been decided by
eight points or less. They‘re X-I in those
games.

The main reason for those wins: UK‘s
two seniors. Joe Crawford and Ramel
Bradley. Both have hit big shots down the
stretch in sortie of those games. Bradley
with a difficult step-back jump shot against
Arkansas on Saturday and Crawford‘s layup
against Vanderbilt in the SEC opener that
gave UK the lead for good in double over-
time.

Against Arkansas. both players made
huge plays in the final minute to help UK
win.

Crawford partially blocked a Sonny
Weems shot with 50 seconds left and the
Cats leading by just three points. Bradley
hit 4-of-6 free throws in the final 22 sec-
onds to seal the victory.

timc.

cration.

"Our seniors were fantastic today down
the stretch, just as clutch as you can possi—
bly be." Gillispie said.

The clutch play of UK‘s two seniors is-
n‘t the only reason why they’ve had success
in the conference.

UK is second in the conference in scor-
ing defense. The (Tats are first in free throw
percentage. something that makes a huge
difference in those close games. Patterson
leads the league in minutes played and has
been as reliable and effective as any other
player in the SEC.

Those are all great. These may be even
bigger factors.

The Cats have all said they‘ve adjust-
ed to Gillispie's coaching. They‘ve gotten
their confidence back from the ()~7 start to
the season. And they've taken every
game. no matter how cliche it is. one at a

and keep believing in each other and you

of the gate again to start the sec-

he said. “That’s a definite sign

And seemingly no player on
the team has matured as much
as senior guard Joe Crawford.

Gillispie criticized Crawford
early in the season for his de-
fense. and even though Craw-
ford scored 18 points. it was a
defensive play that swung mo-
mentum the Cats‘ way for good.

After senior guard Ramel
Bradley — who also scored 18
points — hit a step-back jumper
