Hey freshmen and
freshwomen. You all
have come a long
way. Let's look back
at where you were
when you got here.
and where you are
now.

Then — Freshmen were
never in bed past
noon.

Now — Set two alarms to
wake up in time for
class and have
mastered the mid-
afternoon nap.

Then — Read the
syllabus to find out
what one class they
could cut.

Now - Read the syllabus
just to find out what
classes they can't
miss.

Then - May have
brought a can of
Coke into a class if
they were really
thirsty.

Now -You daily sneak
out of lecture to get
a Blimpie's sub, bag
of chips, and 3 Surge
to be consumed in
class.

Then - Called all MS
and assistants
“Professor."

Now — Calls them all
“sir" or “ma'am” if
they are feeling
really nice.

Then - Left 20 minutes
early to get a seat in
the front middle.

Now - Leaves five
minutes before class
starts so as not to be
noticed sleeping in

the lecture begins.

Then - Called the

Method makes viewing scripts easy

Revolutionary: Digital Atheneum project team
devises new ways for restoring ancient papers

By Manish Bhatia
STAFF WRITER

Thanks to a revolutionary
new project, analyzing ancient
manuscripts may just be a point
and click away.

Led by three UK professors.
Digital Atheneum provides new
techniques for restoring. search-
ing and editing old, agitig manu-
scripts that will prove invalu-
able for studying humanities
collections.

“We have a three pronged

approach to deal with manu-
scripts that are badly damaged,“
said Kevin Kiernan, a Professor
of English and one of the investi-
gators of the project.

"We are looking at old Eng-
lish manuscripts averaging about
1,000 years old."

The three research areas are
restoration of illegible manu»
scripts. searching manuscript
collections and editing the collec—
tions using software tools (level—
oped specifically for scholars in
the humanities.

Unlike the current photogra-
phy method, the new digital tech-
nique will enable a more efficient
method of searching manuscript
collections. Kiernan said. The
group was working with docu-
ments from the Cottonian Collec»
tion of the British Library that
were damaged by an 18th century
fire.

"The people in the computer
science department are working
on restoring the manuscripts
through 12-1) and 8-D digital image
processing algorithms." said
Kiernan. who edits and restores
the documents contained in the
images.

The work is funded by the Na—
tional Science Foundation‘s Digi-

tal Libraries Program with an ad-
ditional equipment grant by [RM
The Digital Atheneum project re-
ceived $500.(K)O from the founda-
tion and $350000 from the IBM
Shared University Research grant.
In addition. the corporation donat-
ed two RS 6000 servers for image
storage and eight lntellistations to
view and analyze the images.

The project was one of 20 to
receive funding out of 220 propos-
als, and the only project involv-
ing the humanities.

“Our goal is twofold. First we
restore previously hidden text of
the manuscripts and then we de-
velop software to allow re-
searchers to conduct content
based searches," said Jim Grif.

fith. Associate Professor of Com—
puter Science and one of the team
members.

"We are looking at humanities
documents. especially very old
manuscripts that have been dam-
aged by fire, water. etc.“ he said.

Restoration of the text in.
volves computer image enhance—
ment and proper lighting tech-
niques. Griffith said.

"This is a three-year project.
We are developing a prototype
version with the assistance of the
IBM research labs." he said.

Brent Seales. a Professor of

Computer Science. is the third

member of the team. Because of

sabbatical leave. he could not be

The pep rally. spon»
sored by the UK Athletic
Department, is aimed at
motivating local elemen-
tary school students
against violence. drug
abuse and to increase their
self-esteem.

“This program allows
my students to see that
there are role models that
are doing the right thing
and are still successful.
They now think it's cool
to do the right thing."

grade teacher at Simmons
Elementary.

Dressed in gang cos»
tumes and ‘70s clothing.
the men‘s soccer team per-
formed two skits to warn
students about the poten-
tial dangers of violence.

“It takes a bigger man
to walk away from a fight,"
said Jason Bell. a junior
on the UK men's soccer
team.

The rally was another
chance for the UK athletes
to do something to benefit
the community.

“This is a great way to
reach the community. We
are proof that whatever
you dream about as a kid.
you can do. We are telling
them to never give up on
their dreams." said Jennie

A way to ease the
strain of a hospital

Millenia Music group uses classical music to help soothe
patients, trying to expand scope of event to once a month

By Brandi Belcher

The lobby of the UK Medical Center
was filled with onlookers yesterday. as
Millennia Music performed to help relax
those within the hospital.

Sara Helton and Michael Fitz-
patrick of Millennia Music treated Med»
ical Center attendants with several
classical selections played out on the
harp and cello.

“The audience that is most apprecia-
tive and receptive isn't always in the con-
cert hall. I‘ve found them to be in the real
world.“ Fitzpatrick said.

Nurse Pam Branson. emergency do

have been using music to help their pa
tients relax.

“Music is a part of everyone's daily
life. It provides different types of experi-
ences like relaxation. It really helps peo-
ple who are taking tests or waiting for
test results to calm down.” Branson said.

The environment of the hospital is
not always relaxing for patients or staff
members. some say. Having music pre-

sent helps reduce stress that staff incni

not feel their symptoms as intcnscly.

“This started a year ago when we be

lleiser said.

UK nurses have different contacts for
acquiring musicians. ‘ht-y have been
working with Fitzpatrick‘s musical
group. as well as clubs such as the (‘en-
tral Kentucky Youth Choir. she said.

“We don't have any funding for this.
They‘re doing this for free. The musicians
feel it‘s worth while and so they d» it."
lleiser said.

Patients are notified of the upcom-
ing musical events. Staff members. pa-
tients and the families of patients have
been receptive to the events. lleiser said.

"This may not be the type of music
that the patients usually listen to. Patients
may have never seen a harp before so it
may be a new exposure for them." Bran-

Cats and Gators hook up in the Sunshine
State for three-game conference series

By Matt May
SPORTSDAILY EDITOR

Another weekend, another
immensely important South-
eastern Conference series for
the UK baseball team.

This time. the Cats are
heading to Gainesville. Fla. for
a threegame conference battle
with the Florida Gators. a team
coming off three-straight NCAA
Tournament appearances and a
berth in last year‘s College
World Series.

UK will be attempting to
erase the horrific memories of
last season's three-game set at
Cliff Hagan Stadium. when the
Gators swept the Cats while
scoring a ridiculous 64 runs in
the three games.

In the first two games of
that series, Florida won 20-10
and 32-10. Yes. 3210. But the
Cats did gain some confidence
in the SEC Tournament at the
end of last season. leading
Florida for most of the game

before falling 6-4 after a late
Gator rally.

But this season is another
story. and both teams are strug»
gling a little. UK is only 13-21
overall and 4-11 in the confer-
ence. having been swept last
weekend at Arkansas. Florida
is 23-15 overall. not bad for most
teams. but below Gator stan-
dards. and a sub-par 6-9 in
conference play.

So with both teams not play-
ing their best ball lately. the
games may once again come
down to pitching. and perhaps
the homefield advantage of McK-
ethan Stadium. which routinely
sells out its 5000 seats.

On first glance. the Gators
would lead the arms race. de-
spite the loss of Josh Fogg and
his 2.03 ERA last season. Flori-
da will send a solid starting trio
to the hill. led by tonight‘s
starter senior Ben Grezlovski.
Grezlovski has put together a 6-
5 record. which hides his

ent erth

microscopic 1.79 ERA. It won’t
get any easier for UK on Satur-
day, as junior Matt McClendon
hits the mound, bringing his 4-3
record and respectable 4.76
ERA with him. McClendon will
be followed Sunday by sophov
more Keith Brice (5-3, 4.74
ERA). who will

with 10 home runs and a team-
leading 33 runs batted in. Cata~
lanotte is close behind with a
.324 average. a team-leading 12
homers and 30 RBI. Other than
those two stars, the Florida at.
tack isn’t near as potent, as the
losses of Brad Wilkerson. Derek
Nicholson and David Ross hurt
its firepower.

UK. having split midweek
games with Louisville and

against the Hogs, will pitch
tonight and sophomore Bran-
don Webb (2-3. 5.62) on Sunday.

UK‘s hit brigade is led by
sophomore John Wilson and
his SEC-leading 16 homers and
33 RBI. Juniors Aaron McGlone
(.299, 10 HR, 28 RBI) and Breck
Price (.351. 9 HR. 23 RBI) have
also been hot for the Cats.

To hold out any hope of
making the SEC Tournament.
UK must take at least two of
three from the Gators, who are
also fighting for their postseason
lives.

Cleveland's first choice in Saturday‘s
NFL draft as long as there are no prob
lems negotiating a contract. league
sources told several newspapers.

But Alex Martins. a team spokesman.
said today the Browns were negotiating
with agents for Couch and two other po-
tential No. 1 picks. Oregon QB Akili
Smith and Texas running back Ricky
Williams. No decision had been made.
Martins said.

“We are actually in continuing nego-
tiations with agents for all three of the
picks under consideration. The organiza-
tion has not made a final determination
as of this point as to which player we will
select on Saturday." he said.

“The negotiating process will contin-
ue over the course of the next few days
and we don‘t anticipate making a decision

. on the pick until Saturday morning."
! Martin said.

Couch had his second workout for
Cleveland last Sunday in Lexington, a rig
orous. 90-minute. 115-pass session con-
ducted by Browns Coach Chris Palmer.
And apparently he performed well
enough to convince the team he is their
franchise quarterback of the future.

The Browns reportedly contacted
Couch‘s agent. Tom Condon, of Cleveland-

1 based IMG over the last few days to begin
preliminary contract negotiations.

If the reports are accurate and the

. Browns have decided on Couch. it would
mean the New Orleans Saints never in-
creased their offer to trade all their picks
in this year‘s draft plus some future ones
for Cleveland‘s top pick. The Browns
were reportedly seeking the Saints' No. 1

l Browns set to select
l Couch; if price is right

Former UK star likely to be No.1 overall selection in 1999
National Football League Draft held tomorrow in New York

in 2000 and 2001.

The Browns seemed to be leaning to-
ward making a trade in recent days. mak-
ing their strongest statements about a pos-
sible deal after watching Couch work out.

Couch. 21. set four NCAA records last
season while completing 72 percent of his
passes at UK. He decided to skip his se-
nior year of college for a chance to be
drafted No. 1. and has openly campaigned
for an opportunity to play for the Browns.

He appeared to be the frontrunner be-
fore Smith blew away Palmer during a
private workout in Eugene, Ore. Smith.
who played only one full season for the
Ducks. has a stronger arm than Couch
and Palmer was impressed by the 23-year-
old's charisma and maturity after playing
some minor league baseball.

Williams. who won the Heisman Tro-
phy after a record-setting senior season at
Texas. was said to be in a three~man race
to be the Browns‘ top pick after a strong
workout last week in San Diego.

Cleveland has been wrestling with
the responsibility of having the No. 1 pick
for months.

“I‘ve definitely had some sleepless
nights over this thing." said Dwight
Clark, the team's director of football
operations.

There is added pressure on the
Browns to use the No. 1 pick wisely.
Cleveland is an atypical expansion fran-
chise. Unlike Jacksonville and Carolina.
the Browns already have tradition and
die-hard, demanding fans. So whomever
they take first will be scrutinized like no
other player.

“It‘s a big deal. I understand that.“
Clark said. “It's an important decision to
the organization. But it‘s not just my deci-
sion. We‘ll make the decision together.“

Then joking. he added: “If it all works
out, it‘s a decision by committee. if it
doesn't work out. then I guess coach and I
will take the heat."
