THE KENTUCKY KERNEL

For many. the day after
Thanksgiving is the kickoff
to the holiday season.

For Michael Muth Sit. it
will be a day of remem-
brance and fund~raising.

Muth is organizing a golf
tournament to raise money
for a scholarship in honor of
his son. Brian Muth. who
would have been a sopho-
more at UK this year. died
Aug. 24 when he walked in
front of a tractor-trailer on
New Circle Road.

More than 70 students
from 15 universities will
play in the Brian Muth Golf
Challenge to raise money
for an academic-based schol-
arship in Muth‘s honor at
Trinity High School in
Louisville. where Brian
Muth graduated in 2003.

The scholarship idea
evolved from a post-Thanks-
giving family custom.

“It started as a tradition
with the guys." Michael
Muth said. “The women
would go shopping or go to
one of the casinos. and the

men would play a round of
golf.

“Given that Brian
worked at golf courses since
he was a boy. it just seems
befitting we continue the
tradition. include more
friends and raise scholar-
ship funds in his name." he
said.

Muth said he hopes the
scholarship will be an ap-
propriate tribute to his son‘s
memory.

“Brian was likeable. re-
sponsible and extremely
goal~oriented. and was al-
ways there for a friend."
Michael Muth said.

“He not only pushed
himself but pushed others.
and the qualities of the
scholarship will reflect that
in the individual candi~
dates.“

Muth said candidates for
the scholarship will be cho-
sen by a board at Trinity
High School. Candidates

must be driven individuals
with high GPAs and have
outgoing personalities.

“We hope to reach our
goal of $101100 by the end of
the semester." he said ~ and
the golf tournament “is a
good beginning."

For non-golfers. there
will be horseshoes. volley-
ball. bocce ball and corn-
hole.

Muth said he plans to
hold additional golf chal»
lenges during the summer
and also hopes to plan other
fundraisers.

“When you lose someone
so young and so full of life.
you want to remember
them." Muth said of his son.

"If we don't raise a lot of
money. the day will still be a
success because his friends
will be there to pay him trib-
ute.“

Man in head-butt deat
pleads to lesser charge

By Dariush Shala
mt kzurum KERNE

In John Holmes Sr.‘s
eyes. “justice was not
served” in the guilty plea of
the man originally charged
with killing his son.

Aaron Roth. 20. of
Louisville. entered a guilty
plea to fourth-degree as-
sault Monday. a charge
stemming from the death of
Nicholas Holmes. a Univer‘
sity of Dayton student, at
the Royal Lexington Apart-
ments on Nicholasville
Road Jan. 18.

According to Lexington
police reports. Roth head-
butted Holmes. causing him
to fall to the ground and
strike his head on concrete.

It is still unknown
whether the head-butt or
the impact with the con-
crete caused Holmes' death.
said Prosecuting Common-
wealth Attorney Ray Lar-
son.

Police reports indicate
that alcohol factored into
the incident. along with an
accusation of a racial slur
that preceded the fight in
which Holmes died.

Roth entered his guilty
plea in the Fayette County
Circuit Court. and under a
recommendation from the
Commonwealth Attorney.
Roth would serve one year
in jail.

Police initially charged
Roth with reckless homi-
cide in the death of Holmes.
19.

“Homicide is when you
take someone‘s life." said
John Holmes. "Aaron Roth
took my son's life."

Roth did not return
phone calls. and his mother
declined to comment.

Larson said this case
was particularly hard.

“‘Difficult' is not a word
associated with the conver‘
sations we had with the vic-

tims.“ Larson said. refer-
ring to both the Roth and
Holmes families.

“There‘s nothing satisfy-
ing about any kind of case
where life is lost. no matter
what sentence occurs." he
said.

John Holmes said he
and his family were partic-
ularly unhappy that Roth
ended up being charged
with fourth-degree assault.

"I'm disappointed that
Aaron Roth did not plead
guilty to reckless homicide,
because he killed my son."
Holmes said.

”The grieving process of
losing a child. I think, is the
hardest thing I‘ve ever
done.“

Roth will be sentenced
Dec. 17 in Fayette County
Circuit Court.

Bush tabs Rice for State

By Mike Allen
in: WASHINGTON POST

WASHINGTON Presi-
dent Bush named his national
security adviser. Condoleezza
Rice. to succeed Colin Powell
as secretary of state Tuesday:
turning to a confidante at a
time when the White House is
vowin I 0 mend ties with Eu
rope a (I put more energy
into brokering Middle East
peace.

Rice. who tutored Bush in
foreign policy when he was
Texas governor and sat at his
side through two wars. will
head seven blocks. from the
West Wing to Foggy Bottom.
to take charge of diplomacy
for a president who values
bluntness and to try to assert
control over a department
that the White House has con-
sidered hostile.

Rice. who turned 50 on
Sunday. appeared with Bush
at a Roosevelt Room ceremo-
ny carried by broadcast tele-
vision networks. The presi-
dent called the secretary of

state “Ameri-
ca's face to
the world."
"In Dr.
Rice. the
world will
see the
strength. the
grace and
the— decency
of our coun»
try" Bush said, before kissing
her on the right cheek. “The
nation needs her."

Bush said his new nation-
al security adviser will be
Rice‘s deputy. Stephen Hadley:
a low-key lawyer and Ohio na-
tive who is a former principal
of the Scowcroft Group con-
sulting firm.

Rice. who will be fourth in
line of succession to the presi-
dency. will be the first black
woman in the job. She is a
classical pianist. was a Stan-
ford University provost and
political science professor.
and specialized in the former
Soviet Union as a National Se-
curity (‘ouncil official for
President George HW. Bush.

Bush referred in his re-
marks to her childhood in Al-
abama during segregation. ty-
ing her experience to what he
called the nation's “great call-
ing of history to aid the forces
of reform and freedom in the
broader Middle East so that
that region can grow in hope.
instead of growing in anger."

“Dr. Rice has a deep. abid-
ing belief in the value and
power of liberty. betause she
has seen freedom denied and
freedom reborn." he said.

White House officials pre-
dicted the deployment of Rice
will tighten Bush's control
over his national security ap
paratus.

Rice faces confirmation
hearings in the Senate. where
Democrats said they will grill
her about some of the dis-
credited elements of the
White House‘s case for war
against Iraq.

But congressional leaders
predicted she will be con
firmed. probably before Bush
begins his second term on
Jan. 20.

‘Tragic': U.S. Marine shoots, kills a wounded Iraqi in mosque

By Anthony Shadid
ii: trimmer

BAGHDAD. Iraq The
killing of a wounded Iraqi by
a U.S. Marine in I-‘allujah was
termed a "tragic incident" by
the U.S. military commander
in Iraq yesterday as Arab
satellite channels replayed
unedited footage of the shoot-
ing as often as every half-
hour

“It's being investigated.
and justice will be done.“
Army Gen. George Casey Jr.
said as he toured I-‘allujah at
the end of a U.S. incursion
there to root out insurgents.
“That‘s the way we operate.

Q

This whole operation was
about the rule of law. and jus-
tice will be done."

The incident was captured
on video Saturday by Kevin
Sites. a free-lancer working
for NBC NeWs who is embed-
ded with a Marine unit.

The videotape shows a
squad of Marines entering a
mosque strewn with debris
where at least five Wounded
Iraqis are lying against a
wall. One of the Marines be-
gins shouting obscenities.
saying one of the Wounded
men is feigning death. He
then lifts his rifle and fires.

“He‘s dead now.“ a Marine
is heard saying. NBI‘ said the

Marine who fired the shot had
been wounded the day before
but had quickly returned to
duty

declined to air the actual
shooting. Arab networks such
as alwlazeera and alArabia

Braden resigns as volleyball coach

By Tim Wiseman
rick—niftkkfiiikti

After seven seasons as
UK volleyball head coach.
Jona Braden has resigned.
UK announced late Monday
night.

“The bottom line is to do
the right thing.“ Braden said.
“I'm not someone who would
typically choose to not con-
tinue something.

“I thought. if it‘s best for
me to step aside for the play»
ers and the team. then I
would."

In her tenure. UK had a
record of 90.117, including a
37-69 record in Southeastern
Conference play.

She was an associate
coach under Kathy DeBoer
from 1991 to 1993. as the team
went 49-22. Braden then left
UK to serve as associate ath-
letics director and senior
women‘s administrator at
Butler University in Indi-
anapolis until 1997.

Braden
returned to
UK and re-
placed Fran
Rolston-Flo-
I'y. who went
78-80 from
1993 to 1997.

The an-
nouncement
came 011 the
heels of UK's regular season
ending losses to Auburn and
Alabama which eliminated
the Cats from the SEC Tour-
nament and ran UK's record
to 12-16. 3-13 SEC.

The Cats opened the sea-
son 9-2 their best start
since 1993 h before losing 14
of their last 17 matches. in-
cluding the last five. UK has
not had a winning season
since Braden‘s second sea-
son. in 1999. when the Cats
went 16-15.

"You can‘t find a better
person than Jona Braden."
said UK Athletic Director

Braden

Mitch Barnhart in a press re-
lease. “We thank her for the
years of service she provided
UK and wish her the very
best.“

Phone calls to Barnhart
yesterday were not immedi-
ately returned.

According to the release.
the search for Braden‘s suc-
cessor has begun. and assis-
tant coaches Scott Carter and
Christie Landry will take
over as the Cats finish their
season at the Long Beach
State Tournament over the
Thanksgiving weekend.

The Cats will face Long
Beach State and American
University in the tourna-
ment.

Braden said she made the
decision after spending a
long time praying and think-
ing about what would be the
best way to help UK and its
players.

She also said she had spo-
ken with Barnhart through-

out the season. but that the
decision was ultimately hers.

“Mitch is a very connect-
ed athletic director, and I
have nothing but respect for
him and his plan for all of
UK's programs." she said
My love for this program
and these players leads me to
this decision

“When you re a leader
you have to assess and you
have to measure where you
are.‘

Braden said she current-
ly has no future plans.

“I'm not sure what direc
tion I am going yet." she said.
”I know God is good, and he
has a plan for me."

Players could not be
reached for comment as
team spokeswoman Mandy
Polley said UK wanted to
keep the players out of it.‘

Brooks shuts

By Jeff Patterson
1111 KENTUCKY 111111111

The meeting between UK
football coach Rich Brooks
and Athletic Director Mitch
Barnhart yesterday had
nothing to do with Brooks‘ or
his staff‘s job security. the
coach said.

“It was just a meeting.
like we have periodically
throughout the year." Brooks
said. “Talking about where
the football program is.
where it‘s been and where
it's headed."

In the meeting at Memor-
ial Coliseum. Brooks de-
clined to say whether he was
asked to shake up his staff
after the season ends. The
Cats play their final game at
Tennessee Nov 27.

All season long. Brooks
has had to defend his coach-
ing staff. primarily offensive
coordinator Ron Hudson.

The Cats‘ offense. which
ranks last in the Southeast-
ern Conference. with 14.2
points per game. has been
the catalyst of fan criticism.

Hudson has listened to
rumors of his departure for
much of the 2004 season.

“People making those ru-
mors have no credence."
Hudson said. “The people
who are making the rumors

down rumor mill after meeting with AD

are looking for excuses."

Even though Brooks has
said he was disappointed
with his team's offensive pro-
duction. he said he fully sup-
ports Hudson.

“1 don‘t think there is any
tough decision to make on
this staff," Brooks said Nov. 1
at his weekly news confer-
ence. “I have total confidence
in Ron Hudson and what we
are doing."

Brooks said he expects to
renew the contracts of all of
his assistant coaches this off-
season.

“As far as I‘m concerned.
it's up to me," Brooks said
Nov. 1. "If it isn‘t. I guess
somebody can replace me."

Both Barnhart and Presi-
dent Lee Todd have publicly
expressed their support of
Brooks. Phone calls to Barn-
hart yesterday were not im-
mediately returned.

Asked if he'll return next
season. Brooks said. "I‘ve an-
swered that question a bunch
of times. and I'm not going to
address it again until the end
of the season."

Many of the players have
simply ignored rumors re,»
garding their coaches.

”Anybody can get on the
Internet and start a rumor."
said senior quarterback

UK football coach Rich Brooks speaks with reporters after practice yes-
terday. He spoke about his meeting yesterday with Athletic Director Mitch
Barnhart, which had sparked rumors about Brooks' job security

Shane Boyd.

With the negativity sur—
rounding the team. Brooks
has made sure to keep it out
of practice.

“There‘s no sense bring-
ing any of the criticism
about whats sgoing on to the
practice field." Brooks said.
"(The players) are doing all
they can do to make it right."

The Cats (2-8. 1-6 SEC) are
coming off a 14-13 win over
Vanderbilt on Saturday:

Oklahoma will welcome
Baylor (3-7) on Saturday and
travel to Kansas City. Mo. on
Dec. 4 for a Big 12 title bout
with an as-yet-unnamed op-
ponent.

Auburn will visit Alaba-
ma (64) on Saturday and At—
lanta on Dec. :1 to find proba-
bly Tennessee (7-2).

None of that is to be con-
fused with the potentially
historic drama at the No. 6
spot. which Utah (1110)
reached again this week after
falling to No. 7 last week.

That‘s significant because
the Utes could become the

Brooks said it would take
two more years for the pro-
gram to get back on track be-
cause of NCAA probation.
The team will be able to re-
gain its scholarship allot-
ment of 85 next season.

“I'll remind you again:
We didn't create the prob-
lem." Brooks said. “We are
trying to solve the problem."

Last December. when the
system used seven comput-

in the final ranking after not
watching Kansas State crush
the Sooners. 35-7. in the Big

While the humans back
then had USC at No. 1 and
Louisiana State at No. 2. with
Oklahoma No. 3. the computv
ers insisted Oklahoma
should finish No. 1 in the
overall BCS and ranked LSI'

Seeing that. the authorr

Toys aren't the only things broke after X-mas

‘Tis the

approach-
ing. and
consumers
all over the
c o u n t r y
are prepar-
ing to
s p e n d
hefty sums on entertaining
guests and buying gifts for
close relatives and friends.

According to the National
Retail Federation. the
world's largest retail trade
association. this holiday sea-
son is expected to generate
consumer spending of $219.9
billion. Representing more
than 20 percent of annual
sales. it will be the most ex~
pensive season of the year.

But not everyone. espe-
cially college students. can
purchase luxurious gifts.
With gasoline prices and in-
come rates on the rise and
college income practically
nonexistent. gift buying and
entertaining aren‘t the easi-
est to pull off.

As the semester nears an
end. try searching for a job
in order to make some extra
cash. The National Retail
Federation found that retail-
ers increased their staffing
by 3.9 percent for last year's

holiday season. Many retail-
ers need the extra help. and
college students are perfect
for the roles they need filled.

Just don‘t plan on steal-

- ing your way to happiness
this season. though. The
NRF states that retailers lost
$10.77 billion due to shoplift-
ing and another $15.81 bil-
lion from employee theft.
This is a good way to get ar»
rested and turn your holiday
spirit into a mug shot.

Once you‘ve gathered
enough money or paychecks

, legally - create a shop-
ping list. Write down the
gifts you wish to purchase.
their prices. their recipients.
and their recipient's clothing
sizes. Keep this list with you
while you shop.

A survey conducted by
BIGresearch for the National
Retail Federation found that
51 percent of consumers
hope to receive CDs. DVDs.

books. videos. or video
games as a gift this year.
Other items on con-

sumers‘ wish lists are elec-
tronics. jewelry and home
decor Remember these as
you decide what to buy.

Next. online shopping.
which makes shopping a lot
easier is growing at an ever-
increasing rate. Online sales
are expected to amount to
$144 billion. rising 27 percent
above last year‘s sales.

I like to do my shopping
on eBaycom or Halfcom.

EBay gives you the opportu»
nity to bid on the products
you wish to buy. meaning
you will only spend what
you want to spend. Halfcom
offers deals on all sorts of
products at almost always
half off their retail value.

Look for free shipping
deals on many retailers' on-
line stores as well. Just be
sure to make the order early
enough to receive your pur—
chase on time.

If you don‘t like e-com-
merce. "Black Friday" , the
day after Thanksgiving
might be a good shopping
day substitution for you.

This is the biggest shop-
ping day of the year. earning
its name from many stores“
ability to turn their debt (“in
the red") to a profit (“in the
black").

Usually in the Thanks-
giving Day newspaper. retail
stores will have ads offering
discounts and deals for the
next day only.

Ashley Smith. an English
junior. has shopped on the
day after Thanksgiving for
many years.

“I usually wait outside of
Target about 45 minutes be-
fore it opens that morning."
she said. ”As soon as the
doors open. I shove my way
through tons of people to get
in.

“You have to be quick on
your feet and know what
products you are looking for.
