program

ksaltz@kvkemel com

Student Goyemment has i'enartied and re;
yamped its freshman program iii hopes of
making it more effective at developing new
students into campus leaders.

The Leadership Development Program.
previously called the Freshman Representa-
tive Council. will locus more on leadership
skills and involvement. 11 change SG Vice
President Brittany Langdon said will help
make the program itiore wonhw'hile.

"l didn't think the name FRC really
summed tip what it was." Langdon said. “It is
not really a representative council. but about
leaders on campus. We wanted to change the
program as a whole."

Langdon said she looked at other universi—
ties' freshman organizations and talked with
students who had been in the FRC for ideas
on how to improve the program.

"last year. people didn‘t think it was all
that it could be." Langdon said. “It was pretty
ineffective."

Freshmen involved in the retooled pro-
gram will volunteer in coitiniunity service
projects. participate in a mentoring system.
and hear guest speakers from student organi—
zations and the UK adrtiinistration.

Campus involvement is a key part of ad»
JUSIlllg to college life. Langdon said. and the
need for the reorganized freshman program
was clear to her.

BRIDGET AND

TOM

— A BITTER

CELEBRATION

we DiSI-I

Two hours after
Moynahan delivers
son John via
C-section, Brady
arrives to find

an environment
that's more hostile
than happy

Tom Brady couldn't stop
crying. In the previous 24
hours. he had flown from
Boston to L.A.. met his new-
born son, John. and failed to
make amends with his ex-girL
friend. actress Bridget Moyna-
han, 36. As the NFL star and
his parents headed for the exit
of the maternity ward of St.
John's Health Center in Santa
Monica. California. around
9:45 pm. on August 23. tears
welled up in his eyes. “I felt .so
bad for him because he was up-
set." an eyewitness tells Us. ”It
was crowded around the wait-
ing room. so I told him about a
side hallway. He said. “Thanks.
man.‘ and left with two security
guards." Later. one of the
guards approached the onlook—

r “He told me. ‘Thanks. He is
having some family issues.”
(Brady's rep couldn't be
reached for comment.)

To put it mildly. this was
likely not the way the New
England Patriots quarterback.
30. envisioned his first days as
a new dad. Yet. according to
sources close to Moynahan.
Brady neglected his ex (whom
he dumped in December after

nearly three years of dating) for
much of her pregnancy. instead
choosing to romance his cur
rent squeeze. supermodel Gise-
le Bundchen. 27. "Tom didn't
help one bit to prepare for this
baby a source tells L's. “Brid—
get did everything herself. iri—
cluding getting the nursery to-
gether. The last few weeks
were hard. but he was constant-
ly preoccupied." Even Brady
(who's in the throes of presea-
son football) hinted at possible
unrest in an August It) inter-
view. When asked if he would
be present for his child's birth.
he responded. “I hope so.
We'll deal with it when it hape
pens." He added. “A lot of peo-
ple make sacrifices for their
family. and I'm dealing with a
certain situation."

Rough Reunion

In fact, Brady did make an
effort to attend the birth. A
source tells Us that he tiew via
private plane (courtesy of the
I’atriots' owner) on the morning
of August 23. to be there on
time but was still in transit
when Moynahan delivered
baby John via ('—section around
noon. Brady finally arriy ed at 2
pm. and went to her priyatc
suite. But unlike the other cele-
bratory rooms. “the mood was
very somber." says a source.
“Their parents gave them time
alone to try and work things
out. but Bridget is may bitter."

The mixed feelings were
evident on August 23. when
Moy'nahan's dad was overheard
lamenting about the situation in

the hospital waiting room. Re-
ports ari eyewitness. “He said.
‘TB is still here. I think he's
fallen in love with the little
guy. They are still sorting
things out. but there's only so
much you can say as parents
before it becomes grating.”
The next morning. a spent
Brady traveled to Charlotte.
North Carolina. for a preseason
Patriots game.

The Road Ahead

What's next‘.’ Baby steps.
On August 25. Moynahan
checked out of the hospital and
returned to her borne in LA.
And though no custody
arrangement has been finalized
yet. Brady 7 who earned $39
million last year arid starts his
season on September 9 has
taken time off to be with his
son. (Bundchen. meanwhile. is
currently in NY(‘. "This has
been causing problems for Tom
and (iisele. She doesn't like
Bridget calling so much." says
a source.) Brady “will be as
good a dad as he is a quarter
back." says a pal. "He takes
care of everyone around him
and is committed to his child."
If so. he'll have to stick to a
disciplined game plan. “Bridget
\\ ants nothing to do with Tom."
says one Moynahan source.
“Bridget is excited about the
baby, and wants to move on
with her life as a single mom."

Brooks embraces expeota

Cats look to build on last season’s

8 wins, Music City Bowl victory

Bit Travis Wild”?
twaldronctbkykernet com

Rich Brooks wants more.

From his team. from his coach—
ing staff and from his program's
fans. Brooks doesn‘t want a satis-
fied comfort to settle into Big Blue
Nation after last season‘s eight wins
and Music (‘ity Bowl \ictory.

That's why Brooks spent much
of the offseason sending UK fans
the same message he‘s sent his foot
ball team since the confetti fell after
the Music (‘ity Bowl: 3006. is oyer.

Though the UK head football
coach extended his stay in Lexing—
ton with an 875 record and l'K‘s
first bowl Victory since l9H—t. he‘s
not focused oit what his team did
last season.

“Last year is done." Brooks said
"it‘s gone. It‘s past. You can feel
good about it. but if you‘re thinking
a lot about it. you‘re not thinking
about what you‘ye got to do this
year. We ha\e to go forward this
year and the challenge is enor-
mous."

The enormous challenge Brooks
spoke of is the (‘ats‘ schedule.
which features three Bowl (‘hampi—
oriship Series winners in Louisyille.
Louisiana State and defending ”L14
tional champion Florida. The sched-
ule also includes defending South—
eastern (‘onference West [)iyision
(‘hampion Arkansas and preseason
top 35 teams Tennessee and (ieor-
gia.

Brooks scoffed at the notion
that the schedule will preclude the
(‘ats from building on last season's
success,

“The interesting thing to me is
that three years ago. two years ago.
four years ago. eyerybody expected
us to beat those teams we hayen‘t
beaten in a long time with 68 schol-
arship players coming out of a very
tough time in Kentucky football
history Brooks said. “And now.
with the best team we‘ye had. a lot
of them are saying. ‘Boy'. you know
this schedulc‘s really tough. l don‘t
know if we can beat these teams.‘ "

Instead of Viewing the schedule
as a hindrance. Brooks told his team
to look at it as a series of opportuni—
ties to continue l'K‘s rise in the col,
lege football ranks.

He wants the fans to do the
same.

“We did some things Kentucky
hadn't done in a long time (last
yeai‘i." Brooks said "Well look at
our schedule. folks. We can do a lot
of things this year that Kentucky
hasn't done in a long time."

The ('ats ended an ignomiiiious

streak last season by knocking off

(ieorgia for the first time in a
decade. Then l'K ended a 22—year
bowl \ictory drought when they des
feated (‘lemson in the Music (‘ity
Bowl.

In 2007. the schedule will pro»
yide the Cats with plenty of oppor-
tunities to earn more defining \ieto—
ries. l‘K hasn‘t beaten in~state riy'al
Louisyille since 2002. [K will also
ha\e opportunities to end decades-
long losing streaks against confer—
ence foes Florida 1le years! and
Tennessee (32 years‘t. The Cats
ha\en't defeated a top [0 team
since W74. when they beat ninth-
ranked lt'lorida.

But an e\ en more ominous
streak hangs met the (‘ats as they
enter 2007: [‘K hasn‘t won back-to~
back bowl games since “Bl—53.

Brooks set his goals high for IhC
(‘ats at the [K Alumni Association
Kickoff Luncheon in l.ouis\ille last
week when he toid fans that he e\»
peeted his team to compete for an
honor the program hasn‘t had since
N76; an Slif championship.

"it would be a tragedy if we
don‘t follow up with another bowl
game.“ Brooks said. “It will be a
mator disappointment it we don‘t
figure into the Si:(‘ championship
race in some way If we don't get it.
we‘ll ha\e a lot to say in w ho does
get it.“

l'K went (til at home in 2000.
welcome numbers tor a team that
has eight games at (‘ominonwealth
Stadium this year. But with a
tougher slate of games in l.e\ington
this fall, the (‘ats will need ey'ei'y
adyaiitage the home crowd can giye
them. Brooks said.

If l'K fans flock to (‘ommoir
wealth like they did to the .\lttsic
(‘ity Bowl. where nearly 50.000
bluesclad faithful flooded Nashyillc
on game day. that home field ad
\antage will be ensured. he told
fans at the luncheon.

”lfyou people will show up like
you showed up down in Nashy illc."
Brooks said. "It‘s going to be a teal
ly fun year in Kentucky football."
