trillions of dollars more in subsequent

“That’s right. Trillions more after
that." (‘heney said in response to a ques-

Security plan will cost trillions

Cheney acknowledged yesterday that the
federal government would need to borrow
trillions of dollars over the next few
decades to cover the cost of the private re-
tirement accounts at the heart of Presi-
dent Bush's plan to revamp Social Securi-
tV.

Appearing on Fox News. Cheney said
the government would have to borrow
$754 billion over the next 10 years. and he
said the price tag would involve borrowing

tion.

Despite such costs. the vice president
said it would be even tnore expensive to re
vamp the system if changes to Social Se~
curity were delayed.

“(The) real cost over time is doing
nothing." he said. “Because if we do noth-
ing. then the system is going to go belly up.
It’s going to go broke.“

Cheney said that allowing younger

workers to divert part of their Social Secu-
rity payToll tax contributions into private
stock and bond accounts would allow the
money to grow more than if it had re-
mained in the traditional system.

President Bush has described Social
Security. a 7tiyear-old retirement and dis—
ability program. as facing an impending
financial “crisis" deserving immediate at-
tention. Many Democrats and a few Re-
publicans say the program's problems are
not so dire.

Bush has said all options are on the
table except raising payroll tax rates.

UK defense slams ‘Dores in rout

By Be_n Roberts
THE xrnrucrv mm

NASHVILLE Less than
five. minutes into Saturday‘s
game. Vanderbilt head coach
Kevin Stallings walked calm-
ly onto the Memorial Gym
court and motioned for a
time-out. The scoreboard
shOWed his Commodores
trailing No. 6 UK 9-0 with
15:20 remaining in the ﬁrst
half.

What the scoreboard did-
n't show Were the five
turnovers his players had
committed. and the ﬁve
quick points UK scored as a
result.

The Commodores hadn‘t
even reached the ﬁrst media
time-out. and they were al-
ready giving the game away.

The (‘ats smothered Van-
derbilt defensively for the

rest of the half. scoring 22
points on 13 turnovers. to put
them on their way to an 84-70
win and an 8-0 start in South-
eastern (‘onference play.

“We came out with the
right attitude and played
with the intensity."
Azubuike said. “It was a
huge factor for us. It put us
up real good there. and they
were never really able to re»
cover."

ward I)awid I‘rzybyszewski

Road swing
brings Cats
together

NASHVILLE Even hard-
toplease Tubby Smith could not
complain.

0n Satur-
day. his Cats
d e m o l i s h e d
the Com-
modores with
one of their
most complete
games of the

season, and
the UK head ’
coach had "I'll

trouble ﬁnd-
ing anything
to critique.

Sure. the Cats let up a little in
the ﬁnal four minutes against
Vandy And yeah. the Cats' 14of-
22 effort from the free throw line
could have been better. But other
than that. well, Smith was
speechless.

“There wasn't a whole lot not
to like." Smith said.

On defense. the Cats
swarmed Vandy. grabbing steals
and challenging 3-point shots.
UK forced 20 turnovers w ﬁve
in the ﬁrst ﬁve minutes — and
scored 30 points off those Vandy
miscues.

The Cats rattled Vandy fresh-
man guards Shan Foster and
Alex Gordon. Foster and Gor-
don. who had combined for 49
points against Tennessee on
Wednesday. went scoreless
against UK.

“We got scared today." said
Vandy guard Mario Moore.
“When they take care of the ball
and shoot well like they did. it's
hard to beat them.“

That‘s close to the truth.
When UK is knocking dovm out-
side shots and taking care of the
ball. the Cats look unstoppable.

At the end of its road swing.
with ﬁve games out of six away
from Rupp Arena. UK stands at
8-0 in the Southeastern Confer-
ence. With victories at the Barn
in Arkansas and at Memorial
Gym at Vandy (where the ‘Dores
had won an SEC best 27 of 30
games). the Cats have grown up
in a big way.

“We know we can win on the
road." said UK sophomore for
ward Bobby Perry. “When we get
to the NCAA Tournament and
down to Atlanta (for the SEC
Tourney). we‘ll know we can
play in any environment.“

The road show is coming
home. and the Cats return
smarter. tougher and closer.

“We can show our fans how
good we've gotten." Perry said.

On this road trip. UK has
found itself

From the close call at Ole
Miss. to the blowout win without
Chuck Hayes at Tennessee. to
the dismantling of the ‘Dores.
the Cats have become a hard-
nosed. cohesive group.

During this stretch. UK's
freshmen have turned into veter-
ans. The Cats‘ offense has
flowed. and the defense has dom»
inated. The bench has emerged
as a pivotal X-factor.

For 36 minutes in Nashville.
the Cats played some of their
best basketball of the season. It
was enough to make Smith
smile. fora while.

By now. he's already working
on adding those four extra min»
utes that's the exciting part.

Downloads of trouble

Last Friday The Kernel
reported that three UK stu-
dents will be sued by the
Recording Industry of
America for illegal peer-to-
peer downloads. The RIAA
has ﬁled 68 suits against 23
university residents in the
United States, according to
the RIAA. Three John Does
were sued for downloading
several songs apiece last
October. Some of the songs
downloaded included Kenny
Chesney‘s “You Had Me At
Hello” and Michelle
Branch's “How Am I
Supposed to Live Without
You.” But the most ironic
download, for various rea-
sons, was Michael Jackson’s
“Smooth Criminal."

Computer store closing

In an effort to save
money. UK administrators
will close the UK Computer
Store in June. According to
a Kernel story, 12 employees
will lose their jobs.
Employees claim this will
cause problems with differ-
ent departments, especially
smaller ones. trying to pur-
chase and maintenance
computers. In addition. they
say the advice of store
employees is unbiased com-
pared to that of vendors. to
whom administrators say
they will now go for advice
related to purchasing and
technical assistance.
Cutting jobs is never an
easy move for an adminis-
trator to make. Maybe they
wouldn‘t be in such a posi-
tion if state funding was a
little better.

Rape alert but no report

Last Thursday UK
administrators sent out an
advisory to UK students
warning female students to
take precautions against
date rape drugs. Pat Terrell.
vice president of student
affairs, said three individu-
als had called her ofﬁce to
report they had been sexual-
ly assaulted after being
giv
