Cranberries are sort-
ed for ripeness by
bouncing them: a fully
ripened cranberry can
be dribbled like a bas-
ketball.

Moon was Buzz
Aldrin’s mother's maiden
name. (Buzz Aldrin was
the second man on the
moon in 1969.)

Everyone is familiar
with the RCA logo with
Nipper the dog listen-
ing to the RCA gramo-
phone. The original pic-
ture, though, had both
the dog and the ammo-
phone sitting on his
dead master's casket.
The idea being that the
closest thing to his
dead master’s voice
was the RCA gramo-
phone. The ad was con-
sidered too morbid -
so they removed the
casket.

Haunted

Patterson Hall will be magically transformed into
a house of terror tomorrow for visitors to enjoy

By John lanpler

STAFF WRITER

The 21$t annual Boyd-Patter-
son Haunted House happens
tonight from 8 pm. until mid-
night.

Two hundred to 300 volun—
teers from 15 different residence
halls across North. South and
Central campuses will be doing
their best to scare the wits out
their fellow schoolmates.

Jay Sherman, president of
Patterson Hall‘s Residence Hall
Government Association, said
typically 500 to 600 people at-
tend.

Groups of about eight each

will go through at a time. and the
whole trip takes about 10 min-
utes. Sherman said. While people
are waiting outside to get in. a
television will show mood-appro-
priate movies such as Scream.
Popcorn and cotton candy will
also be for sale outside.

The Haunted House starts at
the back door of Patterson, near
the Blazer Cafeteria entrance.
From there it snakes through the
Patterson basement. goes across
a walkway that connects Boyd
and Patterson. and ends in the
basement of Boyd. Students are
released onto Blazer Drive.

Participants will go through
14 different rooms. each one de-

signed by a different dorm or
shared by two dorms. Sherman
said these rooms will have the
typical “scary" stuff. such as
monsters and fake dismembered
body parts. but there will also be
other interesting exhibits as well.
For example. one of the groups
last year set up a video camera so
that upon entering the room. stu-
dents would see themselves on a
screen. just like the scene in the
movie Scream 2.

“I‘m looking forward to scar~
ing people, seeing the reactions

Potential pledges must release high school, college
grades to help aid fraternities in screening process

By Her Taylor

STAFF VRITER

The lnterfraternity Council
passed a bill yesterday requiring
all men rushing 3 UK fraternity to
complete a registration form re-
leasing their high school and col-
lege grade-point averages.

The bill originated from the
three options being considered last
week that would affect Lexington
Community College men wanting
to rush. The options were:

a Not allowing LCC students
to join UK social fraternities.

0 Not allowing LCC students
to join for the ﬁrst semester but al-
lowing them to do so afterward
without a stipulation on their
grades.

e Allowing LCC students to
join during the first semester. with
a required GPA.

“We were afraid that by do-
ing any of those three options we
would be losing some really good
potential members." IFC Presi-
dent Josh Knipp said of the deciv

soo.“-..e-’

sion to create a bill affecting all
students.

The bill passed unopposed and
will be in effect for the upcoming
spring semester.

LCC Sen. Brian Biermann
said he thought LCC pledges
should be treated the same as
pledges from UK.

“LCC students should continu-
ally be treated like regular stu-
dents at UK," he said. “The bottom
line is that our students aren‘t go-
ing to be discriminated against.
and that was what i was out to
stop.“

Registration forms will be
completed as potential members
go through rush. and then com—
piled into a master list by the IFC.
The results. including GPAs. will
be released to each fraternity pres-
ident and the rush chairman. The
individual chapters then decide
who they allow to pledge their fra-
temity.

Knipp said he hopes this deci-
sion will eventually lead to a GPA—
regulated requirement.

‘f ‘Q‘,"". “F"..‘r ‘
.

«-

“But 1 don‘t think LCC will
ever be excluded from UK frater~
nities based on the current opin-
ions of the fraternity system." he
said.

Of the choices available. this
was the best compromise said Bri~
an Riddell. president of Lambda
Chi Alpha.

“We had several choices." Rid-
dell said. “But this is as far as l
was willing to go involving re-
quirements and limiting who
could rush."

Reed Pirain. the IFC executive
vice president. said the chapters
should be the ones who decide who
can pledge their fraternity.

“I hope those chapters on so-
cial probation will look at these
names and GPAs and carefully
discuss if these rushees will be
effective members." Knipp said.

in the past. potential mem-
bers of fraternities have lied
about their GPA, Knipp said.
But because this bill will allow
chapters to screen rushees.
they will be able to accurately
ﬁnd out their GPAs.

“i think this is a small step
in the right direction to getting
the system above the all men‘s
average (of 2.82).“ Knipp said.

Domino's
case goes

Independent storeowner ﬁles

calls for ‘level playing ﬁeld'

The pizza war is still raging in Fayette
Circuit Court between the UK. Papa John‘s
Pizza and local Domino's Pizza franchisee
Judson Ridgway.

An injunction to stop Papa John‘s from
accepting students” PLL'S Accounts as pay»
ment for pizzas was filed in Judge Gary
Payne's courtroom last week.

Ridgway. an independent owner in the
Domino's franchise. said he filed the in-
junction not to stop Papa John's from ac»
cepting the PLL'S Accounts permanently.
but to put all the bidders on a level playing
field. Ridgway said he wants contracts to
be set up with all the bidders: Papa John's
Pizza. Domino's Pizza. Pizza Hut and Mad
Mushroom Pizza.

Ridgway said his business has flat-
tened since Papa John's began accepting
PLL‘S Account as payment.

"This is the only way I can seek dain-
ages." Ridgway said. "I can't sue the Uni—
versity."

Ridgway said he feels students would
benefit more from four vendors instead

Health Services offering free
vaccinations to students

By Jessiciitoy

EWS EDITOR

Everything hurts. You're nauseous and
feel like you'd be better offdcad.

You have the flu. and there is nothing
you can do about it.

But you can do something about it be-
fore it happens: You can vaccinate yourself
against the virus.

This week E'niversity Health Services
is offering free flu shots to students at L'K
and Lexington Community College. full-
and part-time. who have a valid ll).

Director Spencer Turner said getting a
flu shot is especially important for students
because in many cascs they live in close
quarters with many peoplc. and come in
contact with even more people who could
pass the virus to them while in class.

Another reason is that missing school
bccausc ofan illness can be disastrous

“It is one thing for a pi-rson who works
a 9—in-3 job and has built up sick leave to get
thc flu and miss a week or two of Work.”
Turner said. “But if a studcni misses a
week or two of school. it can iost them the
semester.”

A Medicare informational brochure
listod influenza as a highly contagious vi-
ral infection of tho nose. throat and lungs
that ranks as one of the most severe illness
es of the winter season.

“Influenza l\ spread easily from person
to pi'i‘siill primarily when an infected pt‘l‘r
son coughs or snow/cs." tho brochui'c said.
"influenza may load to hospitalization or

which changes yearly. is designed to protect
against the strains that doctors believe will
be the most aggressive in a given season.

“Even though there is not a 100 percent
guarantee that you won‘t get the flu if you
get a vaccination. your chances are greatly
reduced." Turner said.

But there is the possibility someone
could have an allcrgic reaction to the vac-
cine.

Freshman setter getting good taste of sport
as starting anchor of Wildcat volleyball team
vying for spot in top half of SEC standings

!y_iiaty Crossen

SIAFF VRIIER

Freshman Whitney Sample
might be new to the world of
collegiate volleyball, but she is
setting things straight.

Literally.

Sample had to quickly ad-
just to UK‘s starting setter po-
sition. after the injury to ju-
nior Terri Crabb. who‘s out
with a torn anterior cruciate
ligament.

With Crabb gone, Sample
has become the only setter the
Cats have. As a setter. Sample is
responsible for relaying the ball
to the hitters so UK can score.

Coach Jona Braden says
she‘s doing ﬁne.

Braden said Sample has
been thrown into a situation
where she‘s expected to make
good offensive decisions in a
competitive environment.
which may be a little difficult
with Sample‘s lack of experi-
ence.

“Whitney's fitting in."
Braden said. “It‘s so difficult.
there's so much to know about
running an offense. and we are
asking her to grow up very.
very fast. There's a big load for
her to carry. and she comes in
with a level of confidence that
says 'I can do this."‘ Braden
said. “But there’s still a lot of
learning and growing. The
team is being very patient and
supportive because they be-

lieve in her."

One person who has been
encouraging Sample from the
sidelines is Crabb.

“I‘ve been supporting her,"
Crabb said. “She’s been thrown
in to a really tough situation.
and she’s handling it great.
When I was out there, it helped
to have another setter say
‘You‘re doing ﬁne.”

Crabb said Sample is mak-
ing good choices and has been
setting well since the begin-
ning.

Sample said starting her
first game was a little emotion-
al.

“(It was) exciting. nervous,
a bunch of different feelings all
rolled in to one.” Sample said.
“I feel awful about Terri, but
thankful that she’s coaching
me through this.

“It‘s really exciting be»
cause it’s rare that a freshman
gets an opportunity to be start-
ing. It’s a little scary, but now

Braden said the Cats' focus
was the key to beat Auburn.

The match “was a struggle.
but a great win." Braden said in
a news release. “We stayed so

with lots of digs and scramble

a lot to be desired. “They served
tough and that's what got us in
the ﬁrst game."

“Jona told us to keep fight

next game.“ Eiserman said.

“In the ﬁrst game our play
was not typical for the team," ju-
nior outside hitter Jennie Reed
said. “Coach talked to us and
pulled us together. told us to fo-

ﬁrst game. but we just came to-

Bowden says AD
gave him no hope

ASSOCIATED PRESS

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. Ter-
ry Bowden says Auburn Athlet-
ic Director David Housel told
him there was “virtually no
way" he could save his job as
head football coach. prompting
Bowden's resignation.

Bowden. in a story yester-
day in The Birmingham News.
said he had no choice but to
quit. even though House] urged
him to stay on through the end
of the season.

"I was going to wait as long
as I could to see if maybe my
athletic director or president
could work something out."
Bowden said. "They knew we
were in dire straits. they knew
saying. ‘We want you to stay' is
not the same thing as ‘We think
there is a way you can stay af-
ter the season.‘ and that is what
I was facing."

Housel has denied that
Bowden was forced out. The
coach's resignation was an-
nounced Friday. on the eve of
the Louisiana Tech game. and
Bowden informed his players in
an emotional address that
night.

Bowden came under in-
creasing criticism this season
as the Tigers slipped to a 1-5
record. He said media reports
about his future caused the
dam to break last week.

"On Monday. there was an
article (in The Huntsville
Times) discussing that i didn't
have the full support of our
trustees. and I deﬁnitely had to
win both nonconference games
and two out of the three confer-
ence games or I would be ﬁred."
Bowden said. “I was not read-
ing articles. but I began to hear
about it."

Housel called the next day
to arrange a meeting on
Wednesday morning.

“He felt I should know
something. based on his under
standing. that it was much
more serious than what the ar-
ticle said. and there was virtu-
ally no way I could save my job
at the end of the year." Bowden
said.

Bowden. with a 47-171
record at Auburn. said he had
little choice but to step down.

“It was to the paper ﬁrst."
he said. “Therefore. the staff
morale and the morale of the
team was affected before I was
aware of it.

“I really felt I wanted so
bad to go out a winner. but if
the very ﬁrst there was a men-
tion of it was in Huntsville this
week. it would be in Birming~
ham next week. This public de-
bate would be so cruel that the
young men would have no
chance to focus on the game."
