Off-campus fun

Boring
Tuesday

ls Tuesday boring you?
Here is an idea for a

little bit of fun things

to do at Wal-Mart:

lake shopping carts
for no other reason
than filling them.
Then leave them full
back in the Pet
section.

Set all the alarm
clocks to go off l0
minutes after you
will safely be in the
cleaning supplies.

Make the automotive

section smell good by

“testing" all the car
fresheners.

You and a friend (or
challenge other
shoppers) each grab
a roll of wrapping
paper and "Touchél"

' Leave satanic
messages on the
typewriters.

Put your own little
additions on the
mannequins.

Park your cart in the
middle of a small
aisle and don't let
anyone pass.

Walk up to an
employee and say,
“There is a situation
in Intimate Apparel"
and see what he
does.

Talk to complete
strangers, act like

you have known them

forever and see it
they play along to
avoid being
embarrassed.

Go up to a shopper
who has just taken
something off the
shelf and look at the
same item and say
"Who buys this crap
anyway?"

Marvel audibly at the

“new fang-dangled
machines" when the
cashiers scan your
items.

Ask about putting

something trivial like

a roll of Scotch tape
on layaway.

Move the ”Caution:
Wet Floor" signs to
carpeted areas.

Make up nonsense
products and ask
newly hired
employees if there

are any in stock, Le,

”00 you have any
Shnerples here?"

Find a couple of
electric carts and

race them around the

store.

Indoor games of hide
'n' seek or Marco
Polo.

Leave random
products in
automotive.

See how long you can

just sit in the patio
section: Bring
lemonade.

Ahmed reinstated to SGA position

Back in the saddle: Law student claims his
position after more than three hours of debate

By Karla Dooley
ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR

After nearly three hours of
debate before the Student Gov-
ernment Association Supreme
Court. Wael Ahmed received his
wish: to represent the College of
Law in the Student Government
Association.

In a hearing Sunday after-
noon, the five justices of the
court voted to overturn an earli-
er decision which disqualified
Ahmed. a second-year law stu-
dent, from becoming the law
schools senator. The court cit-
ed SGA's failure to give Ahmed

due, process before disqualify-
ing him as the main reason for
overturning SGA's decision. A
written decision from the court
is expected within the next day
or so.

In his arguments before the
court. Ahmed cited several rea-
sons why he shouldn't have
been disqualified from the elec~
tion for failing to turn in a re
quired expenditure fortn.
Ahmed said he was not given
the proper forms when he filed
his petition.

“The ideal thing would
have been to give each candi-
date a packet of all the forms

they needed." he said. "There
were forms all over several ta-
bles. and they were all messed
up."

He also said he was never
given a proper candidate‘s meet-

ing with the Election Board of

Supervision (‘hairman Joe
Schiller. He also said nothing in
the SGA t‘onstitution or bylaws
cites disqualification for a candi
date‘s failing to file expenditure
forms.

“This imposes an automatic
penalty which contradicts the
constitution." he said.

Schuler countered that not
only was the penalty clearly with-
in the authority of the board. be
disputed Ahmed's claim that the
fortns were disorganized in the
SGA office.

“It was what

very clear

forms they were supposed to pick
up." he said. "I can‘t be in the of
fice 24 7. I'm a student. Mr.
Ahmed is a student. I can't hand
everyone their forms.”

Schiller also said he didn‘t
hand forms dircctly to anyone.
something that \htned said was
implied in the language of the tile
itig instructions

The instructions. which all
candidates were ‘-ll[l]itisi|il to it'
cclyc. said candidates itilist also
receive ati c\pciiditurc form
when they file.

Iluriiig his testimony.
Schuler faced cxtcnsivc question

ing from (‘had Kerley. the chief
justice. and justice Lisa (iraen-

ing. Schiller had trouble under
standing some of their questions.
which l)(‘('IlSll|ll.’lll_\' turned into
statements.

“.\Iv presentation felt like to»
Ial chaos froin the constant quesr
tiotiitig of the judges." said
Schiller. who also thought the
judges spent too much titiie tilt-
picking on the specific way iti
which the forms were arranged
in the SllA ollicc.

"I didn‘t anticipate spending
a half-hour on that." he said.

Kcrlcy contended that. ac
cording to SGA by laws. because
Ahmed never attended a re-
ouircd candidates meeting. his
name never should have ap-
peared on the ballot iii the first
place.

But Scliuler said he met sep-
arately with Ahmed and another
candidate after the first filing
deadline had passed.

By Tom Callahan
STAFF WRIIER

Kappa Alpha Psi kicked off Kappa
Week last night with its STEPS initiation
ceremony for this semester‘s pledges
with a turnout iii excess of 600 people.

Nine pledges. commonly referred to

involved rhythmic dancing and singing.
They made their entrance wearing white

this, It was a lot of hard work. we had a lot
of support from our big brothers to help
us with the show." said Derrick Johnson.

the Kappas. “It was a lot of success. we
need to do more events like this."

neos.

“I am overwhelmed with joy from see-
ing the reaction of the crowd and know-
ing that they enjoyed the performance.“
said Antoine Jennings. a marketing fresh-
man who‘s also pledging the Kappas.

Many women attended the ceremony
out of their support for the men of Kappa
Alpha Psi.

“It's exciting to watch young men
stepping and working hard as one unit.“
said Jessica Holman. a graphic design se-

tiior. “It reminds me of when I was pledg-
ing my sorority, the excitement of cross-
ing over.“

Another young lady expressed her
impression of the evening event a little
tnore concisely.

“What can I say. but that I'm a fan of
the crimson and cream. every woman‘s
dream." said Charmaine Neal. a chem-
istry sophomore.

Steam line ruptures at PPD

Steam poured out of the UK Physical Plant
Division yesterday morning after a IGinch steam
line bearing 175 pounds of pressure per square
inch ruptured in the basement.

Although there were no ﬂames, fire alarms
went off every 10 minutes. The Lexington Fire
Department responded at about 10 am. and
stayed at the scene for some time using fans to
blow the steam out of the building.

Although the exact cause of the rupture was
unknown. Physical Plant Director Jack Apple-
gate said it was probably caused by a buildup of
water in the line.

“Steam and water react violently," he said.

Most of the campus is heated by steam pro-
duced at Physical Plant and the Medical Center.

The pipe that burst was one of two that runs
from Physical Plant through the Patterson Ofﬁce
Tower tunnel and heats much of Central Cam-
pus. Applegate said none of the campus was with-
out heat yesterday, because plant workers were
able to reroute heat through the other pipe.

“It’s a good system that rarely has a prob-
lem.“ said John Gambill. a PPD electrician on
the scene yesterday.

Teaching kids
by the book

By Lisa L Cray
SiAFF WRITER

Lexington children may
have more opportunities for
reading, thanks to the Commu-
nity Bookshelf.

The new organization will
be collecting books and maga-
zines on campus this week to
expose children in the area to
reading they may not have
normally because of economic
or other difﬁculties.

“We feel it is important to
give kids the access to books
that they might not have oth-
erwise." said Allison Cardin, a
chemistry junior.

Cardin is one of five
founding members of the orga~
nization who wanted to reach
out to the community. The
members decided helping kids
gain greater exposure to read-
ing was a worthwhile cause.

“We all feel that it is im-
portant for kids to learn to
read while they are young.“
Cardin said. “If a child devel-
ops a love for reading and
learning. then his perfor.

mance in school will usually
be at a higher level, or at least
more enjoyable."

This week‘s book drive at

Some of the groups affili-

a child up with one of its

to be read to by the volunteer.

Other agencies may allow
the child to check out a book

Chats swamp Florida

Winning ways: UK takes two
of three, hand Gators first
home shutout in 160 games

By Matt May
SPORTSDAILY EDITOR

UK needed a big weekend. UK got a big
weekend.

The Cats (1522 overall. 6-12 Southeast
ern Conference) played perhaps their best
baseball of the season in a three-game se-
ries with Florida over the weekend. taking
two of three from the always dangerous
Gators in their own backyard.

The ﬁrst two games were all UK. as the
Cats outscored Florida 142. In Friday's series
opener. UK junior Nathan Kent threw a com-
plete game shutout against the vaunted Gator
offense. a feat that had not been accomplished
by a Florida opponent at McKethan Stadium
in Gainesville, Fla. in 160 games. Ole Miss
halted the Gators‘ 250plus game streak with-

out being blanked earlier this season.

Kent. who came into the game with the
lowest ERA of UK’s starting pitchers.
pitched his third complete game of the sea-
son. Kent allowed only six hits. struck out
nine Florida batters and grabbed his sec-
ond win of the season. lowering his ERA to
4.71. The SEC named Kent its Pitcher ofthe
Week for his performance.

But Kent needed offensive support. and
after a scoreless duel through four innings.
UK erupted for four runs in the fifth. A
Breck Price double and Nate Linder walk
put runners on first and second with two
outs. and Florida appeared to end the in-
ning on a ground~out by UK‘s Beau Moore.
but the home plate umpire ruled catcher‘s
interference on UF’s Todd Johannes. over-
ruling the out and loading the bases for UK.
UK went on to score four runs in the inning
and tacked on a run in the eighth inning
for the ﬁnal score.

The Cats followed up Friday‘s win with
another good pitching performance by ju-
nior Ben Shaffar. who gave up only three
hits. two runs. and struck out eight in sev-

en innings. Shaffar (4-4), who was return-
ing from a four-game suspension. had a no-
hitter through five innings. before giving
up two runs in the seventh. Josh Paxton
came on to pitch two innings of no-hit ball
to seal the win.

Shaffar received plenty of support from
the UK bats. as the Cats bolted out to a 8—0
lead before Florida scored. UK freshman
Vince Harrison smacked his fourth homer
of the year. a three-run shot off the score-
board in right ﬁeld. Harrison also added a
double in the game. as UK handed Florida
its 10th straight SEC loss.

After jumping out to a 3-0 lead on Sun—
day. UK‘s pitching couldn't hold the lead.
as Florida stormed back to win 103 and
claim at least one game in the series.

UK starter Brandon Webb (2-4) was
roughed up by the Gators. giving up nine
hits and six runs in only 4 1/3 innings of
work. The Gators used a four-run third in-
ning and at least one run in each of their ﬁ-
nal four at bats to beat the Cats. as reliever
Keith Brice pitched five-plus innings of
scoreless relief to hold UK in check.

Softball struggles
vs. SEC opponents

By Jonathan Dohson
STAFF WRITER

Defeat is never an easy pill
to swallow, but homestands just
aren‘t supposed to turn out like
this.

The softball Wildcats were
outscored 29-7 in this weekend’s
games against Mississippi State
and Ole Miss. en route to a dis-
appointing 1-4 record against
the two conference foes.

Saturday's twinbill began
innocuously enough.

UK scored ﬁve unanswered
runs in the ﬁrst six innings of
game one. building the big lead
on the shoulders of a three-run
homer by Cats centerﬁelder
Leslie Kwiatkowski. The sopho-
more’s sixth-inning blast was her
sixth of the year. setting a single
season record for the program.

Junior Keary Camunas
held the advantage by hurling
six innings of shutout ball. mys-
tifying the Bulldogs until the
seventh.

MSU scored four runs in a
late charge. but Camunas
earned the victory by striking
out the last State hitter. strand-
ing the tying and go-ahead runs
on base.

The Wildcats' offense
seemed to take an untimely va-
cation after that close win. MSU
won vengeance from the first
game by allowing only three
UK hits in a 12-0 debacle that in-

cluded a nine-run seventh.

The Ole Miss Rebels doubled
the Wildcats' anguish on Sunday
afternoon. sending UK to defeat
on a last-inning rally and the
weekend’s second offensive
pounding by a visiting ballclub.

Game one featured a bril-
liant pitching exhibition by
freshman hurler Jennifer How-
land. She stifled the Rebel of-
fense for six innings as the Cats
clung to the slimmest of mar»
gins. a 1-0 lead.

For the Cats. the perfor-
mance was ultimately for
naught. Ole Miss scored three
runs on only one hit in their
last at-bat. benefiting from two
seventh-inning UK errors.

The afternoon's second
game was of an entirely differ-
ent character. but the result
was the same for the home
team.

The Rebels poured it on.
banging out 14 hits in a 10-1 win
