Cats annihilate
Murray State

Big Blue explodes for 20 runs

By Matthew May

. lit/titllll Spam [Ci/lflll‘

It is official, the UK baseball
team is on a winning streak.

l‘he (Iats rode an offensive
e\p!osion to the tune of a II)-
lyictory over Murray State in
a game that was called after
only set en innings.

Sporting a five-run second
inning, a I()vrun fifth and a
three—run sixth, UK (18—24)
blasted the three Murray St.
piithers all over the yard,
resulting in fotir doubles and
.i season—high six home runs.

“It was one of the best
oilensne games in the last
couple of years that I can
think of." [K head coach
Keith Madison said.

[he win comes on the
heels of L'K‘s second straight
Southeastern (lonference
series win, the first time the
(Iats have done that since the
end of the 10% season. The
game also reinforced the feel—
ing that the team has found a
confidence that it lacked at
the beginning ofthe season.

“(lur confidence le\el is
the highest I've seen it sitice
I've been here," sophomore
:\.iron .\Ic(ilone. who went
rwo~for—two with a limiter
and fotir runs batted in. "\\'e
are playing relaxed and loose.

and our seniors are really
showing a lot of heart."

.\Ic(ilone was just one of

the heroes at the plate for the
Cats. Senior David (Zheatle
was three-for—four, with a
double and taree RBI and
itinior josh Loggins also
knocked in four rtiiis, three of
which came on his IIIth home
run of the season. Senior
.Iason I’asero, making oiily his
lith start of the year, went
three-lor-four with a double.
two RBI and his first home
run this season.

After the gatiie. l’asero reit—
erated the confidence theme.

“I think we are getting more
consistent with our offense,"
Pasero said. “The pitching is
coming around and things are
starting to go our way. It‘s just
a confidence matter."

:\s for the game, Murray
State (my); struggled from
the beginning. Starter Shawn
(Lollins fell to I~3 after allow—
ing eight hits and seicn runs
in only four innings Ile was
in trouble early as [Is lumped
on him with five runs in the
second inning. ‘\lter hitting
both .lllsilll litmch and john
\Vilson. (Iolliiis gave tip a
two—run double to I’asero. a
RBI to .-\ndy (il't‘t‘ll and a
liclder‘s Llllllkt‘ to (iheaile
before .\Ic(ilone clubbed his

 

 

 

fifth round tripper of the year.

“'I'he pitch was up and in,
which I was watching for,"
McUlone said. “I decided that
ifit wasn't to up, I was swing»
ing. I definitely got all ofit."

’I‘he (Iats did not stop after
that though, as they added
two more runs in the fourth
before exploding in the fifth.

Murray State replaced
(lollins with John David
I’oyner, who was not the
answer. I’oyner gave tip eight
hits and nine runs while only
recording one otit in the
inning. After a groundnut, six
straight L'K batters scored.
The inning continued as UK
finished with 10 runs on nine
hits. including four home runs.

The game was called after
seven innings, giving L'K
starter Brandon \Vebb his
third win of the year despite
being on a pitch count ofonly
50 pitches.

\\'ith a big series against
Arkansas this weekend, .\Iadi—
son said the (Eats iiitist contin-
ue to play hard.

“I was very proud of our
team this weekend." .\Iadison
said. “\Ve could've throw in
the towel, btit we came back
and played hard. \\'e need to
continue to show that charac—
ter and maturity and continue
to play loose and confident."

and his staffare taking a different
approach in preparing for the

“Last year we were btisy teach-

whole spring and there's a certain
amount of patience whenever
you're teaching something brand
new to everybody." he said at a
news conference yesterday. “This
spring we have higher expectations
because most ofour gtiys are back."

And the \Vildcats have tried to
add a few wrinkles to their playbook.

“\'\'e worked on a lot ofthings
we need to do, subtle things, that
we saw on offense last year that we
could improve on," he said. “\Ve
tried to master some of those
things this spring or at least start»
ed on mastering them."

pleased with the progress of the
quarterbacks and fullhack Derek

LBIIDII FIRIU may DDCDIDD IDIDDU

There are no falling beams at
Legion field. No reason to panic
-_ yet.

But just like Yankee Stadium.
“The House That Bear Built" is
showing its age. And there's an
outside chance that the 71—year—
old stadium long considered a
cornerstone of tradition for sports
fans in the South may never
play host to another maior college

football gatne.

“\Ve don't have a threat ofany-
thing falling, but we have some
areas of concern," stadium inanagv
er \I'aIter (iarrett said. “Engineers
have told tis it cotild be a problem
in II) years, five years or two
months. But they think we ought
to take care of the problems now."

The news also comes with a ref-
erendum pending in August that
would charge local residents a small
sales tax to build a dome that even—
tually would replace Legion Field.

“'I‘radition is worth a great
deal." says Gene Hallman, a sup—
porter of the referendum. “But
there comes a cost to maintaining
tradition. At certain times, that cost
no longer makes economic sense."

Still hopes tor higher turnout

By Mark Flsier
Staff anter

The next two days will show
how interested students are in
Student Government Association.

Round two of the I998 SGA
election starts this mornin . Can-
didates are ho ing lit an
improvement on t e March elec—
tion, which saw the lowest voter
turnout this decade.

Polling sites will open at the
Complex Commons, Blazer Hall,
Student Center, M. 1. King
Library, Medical Center Library,
LCC and the colleges ongricul—
ture. Engineering and Law.

Polling sites at the College of
Education and the College of
Business and Economics will be
closed this time around.

Kerrie Voelker, chairwoman of
the Elections Board of Supervi—
sion, said this was due to low voter
turnout at those colleges.

She said they compensated for
those closings by extending the
operating hours of the sites at the

Commons, Blazer Hall, Med
Center Library and the College of
[in 'neering.

he low turnout at the first
election resulted in five senatorial
races won with write-in votes.
The Graduate School had a win-
ner who collected only two votes,
while the colleges of allied health,
business and economics, educa—
tion and law all had people who
won with a single vote.

Nobody campaigned to be the
College of Education Senator,
said Christopher lluelsinan, a sec-
ondary education freshman.

“Nobody seemed to want the
responsibility,“ lluelsinan said.

Iluelsman said he has some
friends within the College of l‘idu—
cation who have talked about vot—
ing for someone as a joke.

Voelker acknowled ed that
some students do vote for them-
selves or somebody else as a joke.

“You get a lot of Mickey Mous—
es," said V oelker, a communication
disorders senior. “I'm sure this isn't
the first year that’s happened."

She said all winners must fill out
an expenditure form by 4 p.m. on
Friday or be disqualified from the
election.

If one person
receives all of the
votes for a given posi-
tion and doesn't file
an expenditure form,
the college involved
will begin taking
applicants, and the
current SCA senators
will make the final
decision, Voelker said.

A run-off will break
all ties, Voelker said.

Josh Robinson,
senator at large candi-
date, believes SCA is
more prepared this
time around.

“They‘re taking this
one much more seriously," he said.

Robinson filed one of the
claims that was instrumental in
overturning the first election.

He said the election had a
number of individually small

Frustration emerges over
Senate elections

new SEA

By Jed Leano
Staff Writer

And the apathy just keeps on
Coming.

The Student Government Asso-
ciation election for senator at large
is a simple process. A bunch of
people run, and the 15 candidates
with the most votes are elected.

But in this publicly-resented
second round of SGA elections,
particular frustration is emerging
due to the lack of personal atten—
tion voters are getting from candi—
dates for SGA senator at large.

“I couldn't name 15 SGA sen-
ator at large candidates off the
top of my head," said Nick
Rainey, an animal science fresh-
man. “l'low can I vote for 15 peo-
ple when I haven’t even met that

many candidates in person?”
Rainey said.
This sentiment toward the

campaigning effort of SGA sena-
tor at large candidates is common.

Biolo junior Will DeVries
said he as met fewer than five
candidates from the entire elec-
tion.

“The people I have met seem
to be really enthusiastic about
running for office, but there are $0

majority of people.

“Everyone wants to know
about the ’605,” Chiles said. “We
wanted to re-create the feeling of
what it would have been like.”

Weisenberger said this
semester’s class has raised the bar
for those who come after and
decide to take the class.

“They’re going to have a hard
act to follow,” Weisenberger
said.

SAN FRANCISCO —— New
name, new director —~ same pun-
gent smell.

The city's largest medical mari-
juana club was to reo en today
with cosmetic changes designed to
'get around an eviction notice.

Dennis Peron, founder of the
Cannabis Cultivators Club, and
his followers complied peacefully
Monday with the eviction order
'won by state Attorney General
Dan Lungren.

Even as he ordered the club
vacated, San Francisco Sheriff
Mike Hennessey said he was sym-
pathetic to the use of marijuana
or medicinal purposes.

many other candidates who I
don’t know," DeVries said.

livery year, the election is easi—
ly apparent, DeVries said. But this
year, the number of posters on the
walls, flyers on the ground and

eople campaigning is significant—
lylower, he added.

Three weeks ago the walls of
the UK campus were bombarded
with posters and flyers promoting
the ZZ—person field of senator at
large candidates, biology sopho-
more Eric Browning said.

This week, however, such
materials are noticeable on only a
few select locations, such as the
student center and Patterson
Office Tower, he added.

Outside M. 1. King Library
and the Student Center, carn—
paigning was also much tnore
noticeable during the last elec—
tion, in contrast to this election,
Browning said.

While some students said the
amount of campaigning has gone
down, others said the candidates
for senator at large have gone
unnoticed throughout the entire
election season.

Civil engineering junior Alex
Nolan said the candidates did a
poor job ofgetting their messages

out to students.

“liven in the first election, I
don't recall meeting any ofthe can—
didates for this office," Nolan said.

Nolan's frustrating situation
ran all the way to his experience in
the voting booth. \Vhile casting
his vote, he looked at the ballot
and refrained from casting his
allotted 15 votes because he didn't
know that many candidates.

\Vith these frustrations run-
ning widespread, the relationship
between students and SCA con—
tinues to look like a reciprocal
exchange ofapathy.

Nlana ement so )homore l)er~
rick Litt ejohn saicl the effort put
forth by candidates explains why
students across "ampus are so
unfamiliar with what the SCA
Senate does.

“If they don‘t cotne out and
talk to students, how can students
know about what they do?” Little—
john said.

“So many students are not
plugged into the things that to
on in the SGA Senate, especia ly
students who are not involved in
student organizations. It’s
important for these people to get
out and meet all the students on
