By Rebeca Ned
ASSISTANT NEVIS EDITOR

Alter about 1,700 people lauded
President George W Bush’s entrance
on stage at Heritage Hall for guberna-
torial candidate Ernie Fletcher’s
fundraiser, Bush promised his re-
marks wouldn’t last long.

“I know something about the cul-
ture of Kentucky —— so I promise to
keep my speech short for the football
game,” Bush said, referring to the
UK—South Carolina game.

The fundraiser last night
brought in nearly $1.25 million,
which will be divided equally be-

tween the Fletcher/ Steve Pence cam-
paign and the Kentucky Republican
Party.
Wes Irvin, Fletcher's personal as-
sistant, said it was a new record for a
Republican fundraiser in Kentucky.

Donors contributing $10,000 had
a picture taken with the president
and admission, while those who do-
nated $100 got a copy of the program.
Tickets to the event ranged from $500
to $10,000.

Downtown Lexington became a swarm of
protest Thursday as hundreds of people filled
the area around Heritage Hall to make their
opinions known of gubernatorial candidate
Ernie Fletcher and President George W Bush.

Many different groups and interests were
represented at yesterday‘s protest, but the vast
majority echoed in the same resounding voice:
the United States is going in the wrong direc-
tion and needs change.

Although many strong opinions were pre
sented, protesters were able to control them-

MENTOR

Coming off his campaign
for California's governor,
George Schwartzman chatted
as he made a special trip for
pizza last night before theUK-
South Carolina football game.

He spoke of fond memo-
ries of Two Key’s Tavern and
the famous 1966 basketball
team.

“I can name the five
starters for you,” the 60-year
old boasted. Schwartzman,
ninth in the California recall
race, is a 1967 UK alum.

His run for governor was
sparked by his need to repay
California for all it has given
him, he said.

“I’ve always been interest-
ed and thought the state was

ing in completely the wrong
d‘eng‘il‘ectionj' said the Indepen-
t.

He same

of the candi-
dates along

said. “I told

him I could

pick him up

and put him in my pocket"

Coleman inched out
Schwartzman by 1,755 votes.

Schwartzman received
10,957 votes, .2 rcent overall.

Hustler’s Flint sur-

him with 15,489 votes.
And Schwartzman trounced
comedian Gallagher, who had
4,867 votes.

He barely outdid Mary
“Mary Carey” Cook, adult film
actress, by 829 votes.

“She’s a hoot,” he said

And then there was the
Terminator.

Schwartzman’s cousin,
Sarge Miller Stith, empha-
s' he got his votes due to
his cam ' , not due to
his name's similarity to
Arnold Schwarzenegger's.

“He got into this before
Schwarzene r, so he didn’t
expect to ri e on anyone's
shrrttails,” the Iexington nosi-
dent Sscaihd

wartzman agreed.
“Counties where I actively
and extensively campaigned
proaiuced my best results," he
sat .

Areas of interest included
restri ' handheld cell
phones w en driving, reduc-
ing college tuition costs for
food students and eliminating
unk food in public schools.

He never anticipated a
win, only to be top ten, he said

“To win? No, to be honest

I never expected to win,” he
said. “I told everyone I wanted
to do very well”

A native of Buffalo, NY,
he came to UK in 1963, follow-
ing in his father’s footsteps.

Graduating four years lat-
er with a bachelor’s in busi-
ness and commerce, he later
moved to California and now
provides urological services to

ospitals and physicians and
is developing a medical record
system for healthcare con-
sumers.

His prominent showing
for a first-time candidate is ev-
idence of his hard work,
Miller Stith said.

“He wasn't the porn per
son. He wasn’t an ex-movie
star," she said. “He did all of
this on his own in three
months."

COLUMBIA, 8.0. —— No matter what drama Shane
Boyd could provide, UK could not get away with all
the second chances it provided South Carolina.

UK backup quarterback Shane Boyd led UK on
two scoring drives in the fourth quarter after starting
QB Jared Lorenzen left the game with an injury. But
penalties and a costly fumble led to South Carolina’s
27-21 victory over UK Thursday night in front of 78,592
fans at Williams-Brice Stadium.

UK (24, 03 Southeastern Conference) committed
10 penalties totaling 66 yards, several coming on third
downs that allowed South Carolina the opportunity to
score. Down 207 at USC’s layard line, running back
Draak Davis fumbled a pitch from Lorenzen and
South Carolina recovered.

USC (42, 12 SEC) running back Daccus Turman
added his third touchdown of the night shortly there
aflaer to distance the Gamecocks fi'om UK 27-7.

But after Lorenzen suffered a freight train-like hit
at the end of the third quarter, Boyd surprised USC
and sparked UK Boyd completed seven of 14 passes
for 81 yards and one touchdown. He added nine rushes
for 73 yards and one touchdown.

“We weren’t ready for Shane Boyd,” said USC
head coach Lou Holtz. “He had us scrambling”

South Carolina dominated UK in every facet of
the football game in the first half. UK could not move
the ball. The Gamecock defense limited UK’s ground

The South Carolina defense stymied UK’s offense
in the first quarter. UK committed five penalties in the
