“Little did he know that when he
stepped off the witness stand, he
step ed into a page of history” said
Lin a Brown Thompson.
These are the words Thompson
chose to describe the humbleness of
her father. Thompson and Cheryl
Brown Henderson, daughters of the
late Rev. Oliver Brown, spoke to a
j crowd of about 300 last night in the
Student Center Grand Ballroom about
how their father helped end segrega-
tion in public schools.

Board of Education began the lee-
ture. Pictures of blacks hung, “whites-
only” signs labeled on public
restrooms and the saddened faces of
black children darkened the screen.
As the li hts came on, a sense of
reality hit t e auditorium as the first
sister, Thompson began her speech.
“I know I look a little different
today than I do in your history book,”
Thompson said.
“My randchildren say to me,’
Granny I know you couldn’t have
looked like that, you were a child’."
Thompson told the audience that
since the case her life has been one
cold weather and crossing dan-
gerous railroad to get to school.
Why didn’t the white kids
have to go through the same
treatment, she asked.
Thompson said it is impor-
tant to know history.
“Ifyou don't know your his-
tory,” she said ,”than you don’t
know yourself."
Cheryl Brown Henderson,
the youngest of the two sisters,
also shared her experiences and
opinions on the case.
In reference to the Brown vs.
Board case, Henderson said it
amazed her how much people
talk about the case as the histo-
ry of the country, but do not
know much about it.
There are four important
issues that make the Brown case
very essential in history, Hen-
derson said.
The overturning of the
Kansas Law in 1849, Beginning
of the end ofsegregation sanc-
tioned by law, overturning of
the Plessy vs. Ferguson case of
1896, and the importance of
the Brown case to all Ameri-
cans, not just African Ameri—
cans, are the major issues that
came out of this 1954 Supreme
Court decision.

BOOKS collected
for the children
By Ann Boden
Staff Writer
Central Kentucky children will be having a sto-
rybook Christmas again this year as the Panhel-
lenic Council holds their Annual Storybook
Christmas Drive.
Every member of every sorority is being asked
to donate five children’s books for the cause.
This year the project is a little different than it
the most books, based on a percentage by size, will
win a discount at the Hillary J. Boone Faculty
Club, according to Stephanie Baker, Panhellenic
philanthropy chair.
The winning sorority will get a 10 percent dis-
count on a date party at the Faculty Club and the
winning department will be given a 25 percent dis-
count on a room rental at the club, Baker said.
Baker hopes that the drive will raise more
bools than the 3,500 that were collected last year.
The goal for this year is 5,000 and Baker believes
that including the departments in the collection
will help in reaching that goal.
So far, collection is going pretty well for at least
two soronties.
Baker, who is a member of Alpha Delta Pi
social sorority, said her sorority has a large box
that is being filled.
Amy Dunn, the Panhellenic public relations
chair, said her sorority, Sigma Kappa social sorori—
ty, has collected several books to give to the chi|~
dren.
Panhellenic participates in this event to help
the community, Baker said.
“The goals of Panhellenic and sororities is to
help other people,” Baker said.
“This is our opportunity to give to children
who may not have the same opportunities that we
have had.”
The deadlines for the sororities and the depart-
ments is Monday, but it may be extended to allow
more people to participate, Baker said.
The Panhellenic drive is part of a larger p ' ct

ment at the yet-to-be named UK
soccer stadium.
Last ear these two teams bat-
tled eac other in the first round
of the NCAA Tournament. It was
the Commodores who advanced
to the second round of the tourna-
ment with a 2-0 victory over UK.
One Cat who is obviously not a
student of history has great confi-
dence coming into the weekend.
“This one’s going to be very
sweet because I want to win this
first round, and I know we’re
going to beat them,” said UK
sophomore Carrie Staber, a kine-
siology major. “I have confidence
in our team. We’re working real
hard in our practices this week to
prepare for it.”
The difference in last year’s
tournament game may have been
experience. It was UK’s first-ever
trip to the NCAA Tournament in
their brief four year history. It was
the Commodores’s second
straight trip to the toume .
Now the Cats are in t eir fifth
year of existence, and there’s a big
difference between now and then.
“It was like, ‘Wow, we’re in the
tournament,’ and we just got out
there in the first half of last year
and just freaked out,” said UK
senior goalkeeper Ashley Miller,
an education major. “This year I

think we’re ready: We know what
it’s about and I think we’re going
to step on the field and have a suc-
cessful result.”
Confidence does not seem to
be a problem for UK this year.
“We have to look at each game
one at a time but I think there’s
a future besides that first-round
game, whereas last year we were
just excited to be in that first~
round game," Staber said.
The Commodores (1 1-8—1) are
a familiar foe for UK. The arch-
rivals have met a total of nine
times, including five times in the
past two ears. Vanderbilt leads
the overal series 6—3, but UK has
won three of the last five games,
including a 2-1 win here on Oct.
25.
Still, the game that sticks out
for UK is their NCAA Tourna-
ment loss to Vandy.
“Last year’s score and what we
did last year is in the back of our
minds so we’re looking forward to
it,” said UK Coach Warren Lipka,
who was a hotel and restaurant
management major in college.
UK (13-5-2) does not exactly
come into the tournament on a
high note. They were an upset
loser to Auburn in the first round
of the Southeastern Conference
Tournament last Friday. Lipka
called the game “one of the most
disappointing losses” of his career.
At times, losses can bring a
team together.
“The thing we needed was for
this team to get focused,” Miller
said. “I think ifwe would’ve beat-
en Auburn, I don’t think we would
be as together as wc are now.”

first round of the MAC Tourna—

25 points, including nine assists, on 60 shots.
WMU has not won a game away from

The Cats are not having as good
a year as some might expect, com—

“Our biggest problem has been lack of exe-
cution. The players’ attitude has to be one of
determination.”
If UK gets past Western today, they will
face Akron in the second round tomorrow at 2

They received a first-round bye because of
their second—place finish. UK lost to the Zips

Certainly this will help add to the confi-

“Our chances depend solely on ourselves,”
said UK head coach Ian Collins. “I’m not too
concerned about the opponent."
Things haven’t gone very well for Western
either since the Kentucky game. The team has
chances.
The Wildcats have had plenty of shot
chances in the past few games, and they have
been playing relatively well. However, they
have scored only one goal in their last four

However, the combination of

Chemistry on the court is his

Wildcats attempt to snap streak against Vandy
By Chris Easterllng
Spam Editor
The UK football team will try
for its first three—game winning
streak since 1993 tomorrow at
Commonwealth '
Stadium.
The problem is
that in doing so, it ‘
will have to snap
what has been one
of the biggest
black spots on the
program in recent
years, the five- our"
game losing streak to Vanderbilt.
The Cats (3-6 overall, 2-4 in
the Southeastern Conference)
haven’t beaten the Commodores
(2-7, 0-6) since a 28-21 victory in
1990. Interestin ly enough, that
game was played8 in Lexington as
well.
But in order for the Cats to
match last season’s win total
tomorrow, the will have to go up
against a Van erbilt defense that
held No. l Florida’s top-ranked
offense to “only” 28 points in a
28-21 loss last week in Nashville.
Vandy has also looked Notre
Dame and Alabama right in the
eye before eventually succumbing
to both in the fourth quarter.
In the 14—7 season opening set-
_ back to the Irish, the Com-
modores forced four turnovers,
which was one of the key reasons
why Vandy was in the game until
the end. Against the Crimson
Tide, VU forced another three
turnovers, which also had some-
thing to do with the 36—26 score.
For the season, the Com-
modores’ defense is holdin or po-
nents to about 318 yards 0 o ense
a game, which ranks it 26th in the
country.
Only four teams in the SEC
have better defenses statistically
than Vandy, those being Alabama
(3rd in the country), Tennessee
(12th), Florida (13th) and South
Carolina (15th).
“They have good players,” said
UK Coach Bill Curry of the
Vandy defense. “They have good
layers who play very hard. They
liave better players than I have
seen at Vanderbilt before,”
In last year’s 14—10 loss, the
Commodore defense was able to
shut down the SEC's leading rush-
er Moe Williams. They held
Williams to only 54 yards on 18
carries.

The Columbus Dispatch
reported in Wednesday’s edition
that Ohio State offensive coordi-
nator Joe Hollis has spoken infor-
mally with UK about the head
coaching vacancy.

comment about the rumor, sayin
that he is concerning himself wit
the second—ranked Buckeyes’ Rose
Bowl chances instead of other
coaching vacancies at this
moment.
OSU quarterbacks coach Walt
Harris is another Buckeye assis—
tant whose name has been tossed
about as a candidate for the job.
However, published reports in the
