wishes. Here are a
couple to make life in
school a little easier.

I Wish...

-that pens never ran out
of ink. and they
never would explode
or leak or anything.

-that the faucet had a
switch next to it that
would change the
water to ice cold
beer. Think of the
possibilities.

-all plumbers would wear
belts.

-moving sidewalks would
be implemented all
over campus.

-there were dictating
programs on all
computers that use
brain waves.

-you could go to class in
your pajamas.

-there were desks and
or seats made for
people over 6 feet
tall.

-masseuses think 5.05
an hour is a fair
wage.

-60 hours would be more
than enough to
graduate from
college and taking 9
hours a semester
would be a heavy
load.

we could have better
seats to see our own
classmates play
basketball.

-there were those gas
reflective heat things
every 10 feet on the
sidewalks around
campus.

-no classes started
before 9:30 am.

-driver's licenses would
be revoked the
second a driver did
something stupid like
leaving their turn
signal on for 20 miles
or thinking that
intentionally slowing
traffic is a good
thing.

-everyone used a good
deodorant.

-ticket Nazis did not
exist.

-there were roads with
no speed limit.

-alcohol poisoning did
not exist.

-a break such as Spring
Break happened
every month.

-everyone could have a

New towing: one
strike, you're out

 

 

 

No Parking

medic: l KERNELSTAFF

Many students park illegally regardless of the towing policy. That may change with tighter rules, though.

Avoid the crackdown: Learn how to
avoid being towed, what to do if you are

By Tracy Kershaw
ASSlS'lANi NEVIS EDIIOR

The Lexington Police De
partment will wage war on il-
legally parked cars starting
Monday. Officials said illegal-
ly-parked cars will begin to
be towed immediately instead
of cited.

Cars along yellow-paint-
ed curbs are considered ille-
gally parked.

Lt. Michael Doane said
the LPD gave students who
parked on the streets around
campus a break so far this
year. but. it cannot continue.

Illegally'parked cars cre-
ate a safety hazard, Doane
said. Emergency vehicles
cannot turn from one street
to another because the cars
are in the way.

“Say a fire truck had to
turn from Liter onto Lime-
stone. They would have to
back up into the road. which
could cause an accident."
Doane said.

Also, the cars could pre-
vent the emergency vehicles

from getting to the scene in
time. .

“Seconds can mean the
difference between life and
death," Doane said.

Safety may be the major
motive behind the decision to
10W immediately. but com-
plaints from residents of cam»
pus neighborhoods are also a
factor. Doane said.

Cars parked in prohibit-
ed loading zones may not be
towed, Doane said. because
they do not cause a safety
hazard.

“We will only tow serious
violators," he said.

Students are weary of
parking hassles, though.

“I’ve had so many tick-
ets," said Chris Thomasson. a
theater senior. “Some of them
I deserved. yeah. but the ma-
jority were times when I was
probably just a few feet away
from my car."

Doane hopes students
will take responsibility for
their actions and park in le-
gal areas.

However. he is doubtful
that will happen.

 

“After 27 years on the
force. I know they aren't go
ing to do it." he said. “But we
cannot continue to be respon-
sible for their irresponsibility.

For students. it‘s not a
matter of responsibility.

“There seem to be very
few legal places to park,"
Thomasson said. "Chances
are that someone is going to
park illegally."

Prehistoric pal: World-renowned paleontologist
quits digging for a while to speak on campus

By John lampler
SPKCIAL SECllONS EDIIOR

He knows so much about di-
nosaurs. Steven Spielberg made
him technical adviser to the
movies Jurassic Park and Lost
World. ,

Jack Homer. the world
renowned paleontologist. loves di-
nosaurs. and he‘ll be coming to
UK next Friday to talk about
them.

Among Homer‘s accomplish
ments: he discovered the first di-
nosaur eggs in North America. the
first evidence of dinosaur em-
bryos. and the first evidence of di-
nosaurs being caring parents who
took care of their nests in a fash~

 

 

ion similar to birds. He has also
donc many studies involving the
Tyrannosaurus rcx.

"Ho‘s onc of the guys that
madc dinosaurs popular again."
said.

Slcphcn (itch. an adjunct pro
fcssor in llK's department of gco-
scicnccs.

(ii-ch, who teaches a class on
dinosaurs and disasters. said that
llorncr‘s research has been an in-
valuablc hpr to his class. For in-
stance. onc class period is devoted
entirely to the 'l‘yannosaurus res.
and they use Horncr's work in
class study. The class also studios
llorncr's work on baby dinosaurs.

llorncr‘s research has made
dinosaurs into something more

than more skeletons in a museum.
(lrcb said. Homer often uses tech
nology in his studies to evaluate
such aspects as brain size. muscle
size. possible bone discnscs. cvcn
how even how dinosaurs used
their teeth.

Homer is here as the featured
speaker ofth Darwin Sorics 2000.
sponsored by the Kentucky l’alc-
ontological Society. which mccts
on UK’s campus once a month.
and a few other departments on
campus. such as geology.

llan Phelps. president of tho
Kentucky Paleontological Society.
said that anyone interested in (ii
nosaurs should attend. Ho credit
ed Horncr as being a good speaker
with the ability to share his
knowlcdge with the public in a
fashion that they can understand

“I couldn‘t have found any
body better to talk about di-
nosaurs." Phelps said.

 

speak on cam-
pus next week.

.lack Hornet will be speaking on new discoveries
and technologies for answering paleontological
questions in the new millennium.

The presentation. "Digging Dinosaurs,"
is next Friday, Feb. 4, at 7:30 pm.

Both teams enter the con—

Dame offense to just 49
points, and limited

The senior trio of Johnny
Hemsley. Mario Bland and
Vernon Jennings all con-
tribute heavily in their start-
ing roles.

Hemsley is the mad gun-
ner (18.3 points per game. but
only 38.5 percent field-goal per-
centage). Bland is the inside
enforcer (at 265 pounds. 7.2 re-
bounds per game). And Jen»
nings is the brains (2 to l assist
to turnover ratio, leads the
team in steals).

Put the three together with
sophomore forward John
Salmons. and you have four
starters back from last year's
UM squad. which won 28
games and a No. 2 seed in the
NCAA tournament.

“'l‘hey almost beat us in
Rupp Arena last year.“ Smith
said of the 7-1—65 UK win last
season. "We‘ll have to be at our
best in order to beat them."

For UK to be at their best.
as they have in the past 12
games (going 11-1). senior cen-
ter Jamaal Magloire needs to
continue to be the foundation
for their offense. Magioire
recorded yet another double-
double against Georgia. with
the last ofhis 10 rebounds com-
ing on Georgia‘s last attempt
with 2.3 seconds remaining.

“He‘s taking his time and
not forcing the ball." Saul
Smith said of UK‘s inside ter~
ror. “When he gets the ball.
you know he'll score or get
fouled. That's all you

can expect from a
center.“

The game is UK's
only out of confer-
ence game during
the Southeastern
Conference schedule.

3 us a chance to
measure ourselves.”

- TUBBY SMITH

 

 

Coach Smith thinks the game
is a good idea for prepping his
squad for tournament time.

"It gives you a good feel for
tournament time,“ he said.

"Miami went to post-sea-
son play last year. and this v. as
an open date on our schedule.
It gives us a chance to measure
ourselves against an out of
conference opponent. it's an
opportunity to see the things
Miami might expose."

One thing UK may expose
from UM is their lack of quaii‘
ty depth. UM‘s starters all av-
erage more than 25 minutes
per game. and the depth was so

 

scarce at the beginning of the ;
season that the UM coaches ‘
held open tryouts for students
on campus.

Three man

J.P. Blevins hopes to continue the
development of his outside game.

At this point. a flash-
back takes place and the
story of the affair be-

at a party in London.
Maurice is writing a nov-
el where the main char-
acter is based on Henry‘s
life.

Maurice mentions
that his most recent
movie is playing at the
local theatre and invites
the two of them to view
his movie.

Henry declines but

‘Bone' KO'd in
final round

Road/buddylsports movie takes
a wrong turn en route to Vegas

ByVMatt Muclahey

ASSISTANT scrur EDIIOR

It‘s not the destina-
tion that‘s important.
bttt the journey.

For tnost of Play It
To the Bone. director
Ron Shelton keeps this
adage in mind. He
crafts an entertaining
and humorous tale of
two down-and-out
prize fighters looking
for one last shot at glo»
ry. fame. and money.

The two ovet‘~tlte»
hill pugilists are Vince
(Woody Harrelson) and
(‘esar (Antonio Han-
deras). each with their
own unique quirks.
Vince sees visions.
ranging from Jesus to
topless ring girls. and
can‘t come to grips
with the fact that his
friend was a "fag" fora
year. (‘esar has his
own troubles. always
crying the day of a
fight and ttnable to ac»
cept that he choked in
his only title fight.

. After both fighters
from the undercard of
Mike Tyson‘s latest
pay-per-view event die
the day of the fight.
Vince and (‘esar get
their chance.

Although
movie about

it's a
boxers.

. the movie isn't really

about boxing; it‘s
about the relationship
between the two fight-
ers.

Shelton is the
undisputed king of
sports films (he‘s the
man behind Bull
Durham and White
Men (‘on‘t Jump).
mostly because he
doesn‘t draw his char-
acters as larger-than-
life heroes. but as regu
lar men.

In a sense. Play It
To the [tone is a road

movie without the
episodic nature that
plagues the genre.

There are no detours.
no llat tires. no car
trouble. no arrests. In
fact. you never doubt
the fact that the two
will make it to the light
on time.

The story never re-
ally has the two ask
whether they should
fight each other in the
first place. The only
question they have is
how much can they get
paid.

To them. it's just
business. When Vince
is asked why he would
fight his friend. he re-
sponds “because they
pay us." as if it's an ob-
vious answer.

It's when the two
get to Vegas that the
movie makes a fatal
turn. After getting to
know and care about
these two men. due in
no small part to Hal‘-
relson and llanderas’
exuberant perfor-
mances and Shelton's
talent for capturing the
humor in everyday
conversations. what
purpose does it serve
to have them pummel
each other?

A finale where we
never learn who is in
divirlually superior
(like Scorsese's (‘olor
of Money .
wise dismal Rocky III.
or Shelton’s own White
Men (‘on't .lump)
would have kept the
ending from feeling so
empty.

In the end. it does
n‘t matter who wins
Vince and (Tesar's bat.
tle. It's how they got
there that's important.

students

KENT, Ohio (AP) -~ This
time, it was the
teacher who was
caught tossing
erasers.

When his students
couldn't grasp a math
concept, instructor
Ludvik Janos lost his
temper and started
throwing erasers
around the
classroom, Kent
State University
officials say.

Janos, 77, has been
removed from his
basic probability and
statistics class.
University officials
haven't decided when
he will be allowed to
return, Kent State
spokeswoman
Margaret Garmon
said Wednesday.

Universny officials said
the Czechoslovakian-
born teacher, who
has lived in the
United States for
seven years, became
frustrated Monday
when the 35 students
in his class didn't
understand a math
concept.

According to the campus
police complaint filed
by Kent State
student Nicole
Vondrak, Janos
screamed “dumb
Americans" and
vulgarities at the
students.

Wheelchair,
personal
check reveal
robber's
identity

WEST MEMPHIS, Ark. (AP)
- it wasn't hard for
police to find the
suspect in a cafe
robbery: He left in a
wheelchair and wrote
a threatening note on
the back of his
personal check.

Police say a man rolled
into the Kreme Kup
dairy bar and parked
his wheelchair at a
table among other
customers. After
ordering a Double
Jumbo Cheeseburger,
the man scribbled a
note for the waitress
on the back of a
piece of paper.

“Don't push. No pulling.
You won't get hurt,"
the note read.

The man made a gesture
as though he were
hiding a gun under
his jacket, police said
Tuesday, and the
waitress gu1cklv gave
him SiZO. He quickly
wheeled out of the
restaurant.

After the robbery was
reported, police
spotted a man in a
wheelchair rolling
down the same
street as the cafe,
Police said that when
they arrived at a
nearby motel, the
man 1umped up and
took off running.

‘He must have rolled
into a faith healer
after he left the
Kreme Kup," said Lt.
Mike Allen of the
West Memphis Police
Department.

Police were able to
capture the suspect.
but they already had
a pretty good idea
who he was. The note
he allegedly passed
to the waitress was
on the back of a
personalized check
bearing his name,
address and
telephone number,

Edward Bohanon, 42.
was charged with
