Ways to
mess with
parking

Put pepper spray or
mace on your
windshield. especially
the wipers. That stuff
is oil-based. and
won't be washed
away by a casual
rainstorm, though
you might have to
reapply it if you use
wiper fluid.

Collect envelopes from
your parking tickets.
and make color
copies of a fake
parking ticket. Put
one on everybody's
car. Enjoy the fun as
hundreds of pissed
off students go to
the precinct to ask
"WTF?"

Organize an e-mail list
for people on your
side of campus, and
send an email to
them whenever you
see parking activity
nearby, with the
location and type of
activity (chalking.
ticketing, towing).

Remove your wipers.
You'll still get
tickets. but they'll
have to work harder.

If you can get your mitts
on a parking permit
(someone else's
preferably) you're
golden! Make as
many copies of it as
you can. and leave a
box of them for the
taking at work!

Whenever you see a
parking employee, be
polite, say good
morning, start
chatting about last
night's game,
whatever. This will
waste their time,
frustrate them, and
make them wonder
what you're up to.
It's important to be
polite - they're used
to rude, angry people
and belligerence
gives them a reason
to blow you off or
threaten to call for
backup.

When it's time to pay
those parking tickets
you've racked up, go
to your bank,
withdraw the amount
in quarters, and pay.

Next time use dimes... or
nickels.

On a dark, dark night,
walk around and put
epoxy in the coin
slots of every
parking meter you
can safely get to.

Save a tree, recycle!
Why not use a
parking ticket instead
of that last piece of
toilet paper? Just
make sure you're
holding the clean end
when you come to
the precinct to pay
up. Better yet, send
it in by mail. Gross!

SGA fights for better

Requests: Proposal of 400 more
lower arena seats, spirit club

By Tracy ltershaw

ASSISTANT NEWS ED: TOR

Student Government Association leaders present~
ed a 21-page proposal concerning l'K basketball and
student involvement to the Athletic Department yester-
day in effort to gain more lower arena student seating
and create a student spirit group.

SGA and the athletic depaitment will now work to
gether to further research the student seating at other
universities and plan to meet again at a tentative date.

Athletic Director CM. Newton was impressed with
proposal.

"It was a well-done study but we need to get more
information." Newton said.

liisplacing people from seats requires a lot of infor-
mation. Newton said.

The new proposed student seating section would
move student seating to the endzones of Rupp Arena.
According the 1999 Athletics survey. 618 percent ofthe

JiIDDENIALENIS

students favor a move to endzone seating.

The proposal would decrease the overall number of

student seats from 5(er to 11191. However. it would in-
crease the number of lower area student seat from 1610
to 2000.

The proposed student spirit group is being tem-
porarily called the Kentucky Spin't (lioup.

”The KSG would organize students to be the lead-
ers of Rupp Arena. They would get wild and crazy to
get in the heads of the other team." said SGA President
Jimmy Glenn.

The spirit group would occupy Slit) of the 2000 pro-
posed lower arena seats.

"ldeally. the excitement of the spirit group would
spread to the younger alumni. then to the older alumni.
until that little Elli-year old lady has her face painted
and is jumping around with excitement." ()lenn said.

Newton applauded the idea of the spirit group and
said that being student driven will make it work.

However. he said it is too preliminary to say if the
proposal will be put into action.

“Jimmy has one constituent. the student body.
while we have a bunch. Students are the prime con
cern. but there are a lot of other factors involved."
Newton said.

I'K is again advancing by
developing a new graduate pro-

With the addition of new

putting emphasis on research-
based graduate education for
athletic trainers.

"Now. academically we will

Winen's Writers Conference loses funding

 

B_y Katie Nelsen
STAFF —WR—|TER

The Kentucky Women Writers Confer-
ence is a testament to perseverance. just
like the women it honors.

New challenges in funding the confer-
ence have surfaced ever since UK pulled
funding for the event in 1998.

”We've stepped out on faith and said
we are going to do this conference no mat»
ter what." said Ruthie Maslin. member of
the advisory board for the Kentucky
Women Writers Conference.

“We are poor now and can't necessari-
ly get the big guns anymore," said Sue
Bonner. advisory board member.

In the past. the conference has hosted

sortie of the most premier names in litera-
ture. including Maya Angelou. Gloria
Steinem and Adrienne Rich.

“Without the Kentucky Women Writ-
ers Conference. these women would not be
able to come to Kentucky and speak."
Maslin said.

While various organizations such as
the Kentucky Humanities Council. Tran
sylvania University and the Kentucky
Foundation for Women have issued grants
to the conference. the event is still in need
of funding.

“It's a year-to—year proposition with a
totally voluntary board." Maslin said.
“The funding must come from sources oth-
er than grants because you never know if
you can depenri on grants."

Betty (iabehart. director of the (‘Uiift‘l‘r
ence from 1986 to 1993. believes that the
conference has suffered since it became in
dependent.

“i think it's unfortunate that l'K
dropped the conference." (iabehart said.
“It has the same quality. it‘s just not as ex
tensive as it used to be."

Gabehart recalls Gloria Steinem‘s vis
it to UK. attracting a sold-out crowd to the
Singletary Center.

“When the conference was at l'K. we
would have. six or more nationally known
writers come in with panel discussions
and workshops." (labehart said. "It‘s on a
smaller scale now because they don‘t have
the resources."

Although the conference lacks funds

”TE Studerfi Newspaper at the University of Kentuck Lexington

provided by I'K. members of the advisory
board are optimistic about this year's pan
el of writers.

“There's
forest in the conference by the board. the

a tremendous amount of in

attendees and the participants." Sutton
said. "People want a quality conference
and the line-up for the spring is as good as
any "

Despite the struggles faced by the
board members. the women involved are
determined to continue the standard of ex
cellence that the conference strives for. in
order to benefit the community

“The longevity of the conference
speaks for what the conference has given
to the people of Kentucky." Maslin said.

Ema fall despite late charge

KERNEL SIAFF

UK forward Taneslia Seaton snags a
rebound against Georgia.

By Travis Hubbard
SIAFF WRITER

The UK women's basketball
team lost to No. 2 ranked Geor-
gia Thursday after climbing
back from a 14—point deficit.

UK got off to slow start in
the first half and made several
mini-runs, but UGA always
seemed to answer the runs with
big baskets by guards Kelly
Miller and Deana Nolan. With
10:06 to play in the second half.
Miller hit a three-pointer to cap
off a 12-4 run and give UGA

their largest lead at 58-44.

The Cats answered the
UGA run. however. including
back-toback three-pointers by
senior guards Tifl‘any Wait and
Erica Jackson. With over seven
minutes to play, UK trailed by
only six. but Miller delivered
on another three of her game
high 23 points.

“Kelly Miller is a Kodak
All-american and she made
shots bending over. falling over
and that is what all-Americans
are supposed to do," said UK
coach Bernadette Mattox.

UK continued to pursue the
Lady Bulldogs and over the
next six minutes. UK outscored
UGA 15-8 and trimmed the lead
to two points on a Jackson steal
and fast break lay-up. She led
the Cats with 19 points.

On the following possession
UK held UGA and center Shan~
tia Owens rebounded an errant
shot with 33 seconds left. With
the score 71-69 in favor of UGA.
UK designed a play for Jackson
to run off of a series of screens.
but she stepped out of bounds
with 11 seconds left trying to
drive the baseline.

“All I know is Erica Jack»
son isn‘t going to just jump out
of bounds." said Mattox.
"Whether she was bumped
enough for the refs to make a
call. I dm‘t know.“

“I wanted to try and dump
the ball off or get my shot off,
but I wish I would have been
smarter," said Jackson.

The Cats fouled Nolan. who

sank two free throws to ice the
game at 73439 for UGA.

“I think we were a really
good team tonight and in stop-
ping them on that last posses-
sion.“ said Miller.

"Kentucky is good. Their
starters are extremely good.“
said UGA coach Andy Landers.
“They made it tough for us."

Landers thought UK was a
worthy NCAA tournament
team. despite their 12-11 record,
He pointed to their strength of
schedule as a major factor.

“They are like 24 in the RP]
and second in strength of sched-
ule.“ said Landers. “I'm proud
of them and Kentucky should
be proud of them too."

Mattox still believes her
team is an NCAA-bound.

“We have four conference
games left and I think winning
one game in the SEC tourna-
ment is probably enough to get
in to the NCAA." Mattox said.

UK‘s 21 turnovers and in‘
ability to rebound in the first
half plagued them. Ultimately.
a turnover eliminated their
chances in the final seconds.
Mattox was left reflecting on
the two distinctly different
halves of basketball her team
played.

“The second half was
played like we would have
wanted the first half played."
said Mattox. “In the first half
we got no rebounding from our
four post players. Against a
team like Georgia you have to
rebound well."

 

GymKats
on course

By Ashley York
surr wmrtn _

The GymKats spurred a
turnaround in their season
last Friday as they placed
second to N0. 7 Nebraska.

After losing to Georgia
earlier. the team came back
to show its true potential.

Senior Krissy Hoeferlin
said that Georgia caused the
team to set new goals.

“We were all discour-
aged and frustrated, but we
got motivated. set new goals
for ourselves. worked hard
in practice and got our confi-
dence back." she said.

Freshman Mindy Smith
attributed their change of
pace to a pep talk among the

team.

“We came together as a
team. and decided to do it for
the love of the sport," Smith
said.

The GymKats (3-5. 1-2
SEC) finished last week’s
tournament against Nebras-
ka, James Madison and Illi-
nois with a season high of
194.500. Nebraska defeated

,UK with a score of 195.150.

Smith unexpectedly set
a season and career high of
9.900 in the floor exercise di-
vision. She completed the
uneven bar exercise with a
9.575.

“It felt like a good rou-
tine. but I wasn‘t expecting a
career high," Smith said.

Senior Mila Chitwood
also achieved a career high
last week. She trailed Smith
in the floor exercise, scoring
a 9.875.

Freshman Julia Gore
said the team‘s accomplish-
ments pleased her. She fin-
ished fifth overall.

“We accomplished what
we needed to do. We definite-
ly made a comeback," she
said.

Hoeferlin placed second
in the overall tournament
with a 39.150. her highest
score of the season. She also
finished with the highest
scores in the vault and bal.
ance beam exercises.

Hoeferlin said the per-
formance didn't surprise her
because she pushes herself
in hopes of getting the team
closer to nationals.

“I always expect these
scores of myself." she said.

The GymKats hope to
continue their success when
they travel to North Caroli-
na State tomorrow.

Gore hopes the team re-
mains consistent.

“During practice last
week. we put our heart and
souls into the routines.
Hopefully we will do the
same this week. and come
out on top,” Gore said.

February not
only time to
recognize
African
Americans

To The Editor:

Black History Month is an op-
portunity for people to recognize
the impact of the African-Ameri-
can community's contribution in
America.

Yet people should not limit
the significance of this month to
simply the days in February.

Black History Month should
be observed throughout the year.
meaning the work of Blacks
should not be highlighted solely
in this month and overlooked in
others.

Also. people should not limit
the recognition of African Ameri-
cans“ works and contributions to
the traditionally acknowledged
events.

There are many areas in
which Blacks” contributions are
left unrecognized.

I will take for example the
AfricanAAmerican community's
contribution to Islatn.

In the 1960s and 70s. a large
number of blacks. including Mal-
colm X. found peace and accepted
Islam. Malcolm X contributed
greatly to both the African-AmeriA
can community during this time
and the fruits of his work are still
evident today.

Malcolm X fought against
racism and social injustices.

He continued striving in this
cause even after he accepted ls»
lam.

Ilis work led to not only more
awareness of the problems of
racism and oppression in Anteri-
ca. but also an awareness of the
Islamic belief of the equality of
humankind.

He said. “America needs to
understand Islam. because this is
the one religion that erases from
its society the race problem.”

Until this day. African Ameri-
can Muslims play a large role in
both Muslim and non-Muslim
communities.

Many Black Muslims such as
Brother Siraj Wahhaj are work-
ing at the community level. yet it
is the small~scale efforts that have
long-lasting and larger-scale ef-
fects.

Wahhaj established an anti-
drug campaign that closed down
15 crack houses.

His work also ranges to na—
tional levels. such as furthering
Islamic Awareness by being the
first Muslim to deliver an invoca-
tion to the United States Con-
gress.

There are numerous other ex-
amples of African Americans who
have worked in the past and also
presently to establish justice and
equality in America.

So let us give credit where it
deserves to be given.

Let us recognize and educate
ourselves throughout the year
about African~American contri»
butions in all areas.
