\VASI ll.\'(iili().\', DC. —- And so the American
journey begins.

About ISIHNHI city/ens, including heads of state.
travelers. students and protesters flooded the Capitol
and National Mall yesterday to see \Villiamjefferson
Clinton reconfirm his oath as the 43nd president of
the United States, making him the first Democrat to
serve two consecutive terms since I larry ’I‘ruman.

Musical performances by the U.S. Marine Band,
the choirs of the College of \\'illiam and Mary and
Hampton University. and an invocation by Rev. Billy
Crab-am preceded the swearing in ofthe incumbents.

After he recited the ﬁS—word oath. administered by
Chief _lustice \\'illiain Rehnquist, Clinton delivered
his IS—plus minute inaugural address, a speech he and
his aides had worked rigorously on for the last two
weeks. Layered with statements to motivate the Amer—
ican people now and in the coming century, Clinton's
address focused on the progress made in the past, the
benefits of a smaller government and the opportunities
ahead.

()n the lsstli: of .1 small government. he said,
“'lioday. we can declare, government is not the prob—
lem. and government is not the solution. “'e, the
American people. are the solution."

People poured into the standing areas in the west
front of the Capitol and behind its reflecting pool
around ‘) a.m. to watch the last inauguration of the
30th century. liiit the biggest fight was not the antiCi—
pation for President Clinton. It was the cold.

I‘iverywhere. families and friends huddled on the
ground. arranged and rearranged their clothes, danced
around and sipped hot chocolate to heat the frigid
temperatures. ’I'liv vse who did not have the gray tickets
necessary to stand in the reflecting pool either stayed
back in the sea of l.l« cs or swapped their tickets with
friends to get a better view. In one case, seven students
from New York used only three tickets to get closer.
Some black members of the audience expressed con—
tempt to er the “id Inauguration being held on the
birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King _lr., the famous
civil rights leader who was assassinated in Memphis,
'l‘enna in le’. ()thers said the timing was perfect.

“It‘s a great opportunity to integrate Dr. King‘s
birthday into all of American society and make people
that would not ordinarily think about Dr. Martin
Luther King think about the holiday," said llenry
'I‘haggert, a lawyer at the justice Department. “The
inauguration has taken attention away from King's
birthday. But again, many people, even though they
had the day off. would not think much about Martin
Luther King."

Clinton stressed the significance of King in the
quest for racial equality in his speech,

“Martin Luther King‘s dream was the American

dream.” Clinton said. "His quest is our quest. the
Ceaseless striving to live out our true creed "

\Vhile the president's speech received positive feed~
back from most crowd members. sonic felt it lacked
the power of his first. Craig Naumec. who had attendv
ed some family events on the Mall on Sunday, said
Clinton should focus more attention on the health
care issue. specifically a national health care system.

“’I‘hat was one of his main things four years ago,"
said Natiinec, a digital video editor and shooter for
.\lc(iraw-l Iill Publishing Co. " l'be whole IIMU
(health maintenance organiyation) nightmare: I‘ve
been dealing with that a lot in my life. I think that
some deregulation there could work out to fit nelit the
people."

liornier Clinton finance coordinator /.in.i Kramer
said Clinton‘s goal for a more efficient government is
attainable.

“It can be a reality, but it's a lot of hard work to
make it a reality," she said “\Ve have to take a look at
what really works and what (It iesn't work."

Asked what this inauguration means for college stilr
dents, Shawn (irainger responded. “It's incredible,
having a Democrat elected twice."

(irainger, an international studies freshman .it
American University and a member of the AL' college
Democrats, said the Clinton administration looks out
for the concerns of college students, financial and oth—
erwise.

“I“.verybody wants to balance the budget," she said,
“but there‘s a difference between doing it right and
doing it wrong. 'l‘he Democrats can cut the budget
effectively without cutting student loans."

Education Still an ISSIIB

the large amount of indebtedness students
are incurring concern him Should the
economy take a turn for the worse, he said,
ihe default rate might skyrocket.

yesterday as President Bill Clinton took
the oath of office for his second term. the
first Democratic president since Franklin
Delano Roosevelt to be elected to a sect ind
term.

Clinton‘s party cost the Committee on
Presidential Inauguration close to SSS mil
lion to produce.

Back in Lexington, the town may have
been more subdued, but politics were on
the minds ofmany.

llow Clinton was going to focus on
issues like welfare reform and higher edu
cation were important issues to some.

“It’s become very clear education is a
major issue in America. and how to pay for
college, I want to see him and Al ((iorel
convince people (student aid) is neces‘
sary,” said Alan Aja, Student Government
Association president.

lixecutivc Director for Campus Affairs

Melanie Cruz stressed the importance of

available federal aid not only to students
but also to the families who fret about pay-
ing for their children's education.

Cruz also said she thinks the president
should encourage governors to Work with
private businesses, demanding a better
educated work force.

How students are paying for higher
education has even the Office of Financial
Aid concerned. As tuitions s‘oar, many stu—
dents are resorting to the bottomless well
of student loans.

Assistant Director of Financial Aid
David Prater said he has noticed students
do not seem to be worrying about the job
market. With a ballooning economy, stu-
dents are able to take advantage of the
accessible loans and find employment after
graduation, which allows them to pay back
their loans.

Prater said the accessibilitv of loans and

‘.

Still, Prater had good things to say
about two (.linton initiatives: AmeriCorps
and direct student loans.

Students have begun to come out of
I’rater's office from the Ameri( :orps pro—
grams with 35,()()l) credits toward their
ediitation. ’I‘his first—term (.Iinton pro—
gram has impacted IYK. making education

ously have been able to afford it

One ofClinton's other plans. the direct
student loan program. was designed to cut

s.l\ mg students time and effort. Although
he thinks the direct student loan is a good
idea, Prater said it is still too soon to
decide whether more students will pay this
loan back.

Prater said he doubts these programs
would have been continued by the Dole
administration had Clinton not been re~
elected.

'I‘he availability of grants — a form of
financial aid students do not have to repay
has been stagnant for the last decade,
Prater said.

If Clinton gets his new initiative
through to make two years of schooling
beyond high school compulsory. Prater
said the amount of available rrant money
will have to increase or it will )e an impos~
sihle task to accomplish.

\Vhile access to higher education is an
issue most find important. Aja was not
willing to forget about another area 7» the
less fortunate, those on welfare.

“Clinton needs to take a stand to pro—
tect the child and mom, put his foot
down,” Aja said.

Aja summed up his wish for the next
four years: “For once we need to give one
side a chance -- and we've given the
Republican Partv a chance.”

Inauguration brings
Sightseer? to Capitol

By Chris Campbell

.lno'atrl l'i/l/HI'IJ/ f'itfltltl'

\\W\Sl ll\( ill ).\', I).( l. . :\ cold and bundled
crowd of more than a quarter million iioi only
packed lihe Mall in the nation's capitol foi lllc
President‘s Inauguration, but for .i lull weekend of
events. which opened the people's mind for things
to come in the next century and millennium.

In an effort to "build a bridge to the _‘ 1 st centu
ry" tents were set up in I'lie Mall to display
aspects of American lifestyles. which the Clinton
administration is boasting to bring to the citr/ens
ofthe nation and the world.

Information sessions on education and interat
tive computer activities highlighted the more fre-
quented tents. Along in support for the president
were famous actors and actresses, and people were
waiting in two two/hour lines to see their
favorites.

“I am enjoying the activities that are being pro,
vided here." said Michele bishop, pre-ined junior
frotii the Lvl\l\'cl‘\ll.\’ of Maryland. “I want to meet
\\'hoopi (ioldberg but judging by the lines, l
don‘t think I'll get the chance. Maybe I will get to
see Michael Douglas."

Douglas, who portrayed a liberal Commander—
in-Clnef in Rob Renter‘s .‘lIl sin/ennui ])t't"lt1t'llf,
cohosted An .-\tiierican (iala Sunday evening.

Some ILIHH) people packed L'SAir Arena to
hear a number of performances from the likes of
Aretha I'iranklin. Iiabyface and the Dave Matthews
Iland. Clinton was very receptive of the perfor-
mances, which were handpicked by the presi~
dent-elect and went on to challenge the amnous
crowd and the American people watching to look
ahead to the future.

As the spectators arrived yesterday morning for
the swearing'in, so did warmer temperatures.
which pleased many as souie got to the standing
area some five hours before Clinton had a chance
to look .it the steps he would descend to reaffirm
his oath to the American people.

“I v as here four year ago and it was a hell of .i
lot colder than today. so that is good," said David
(iiillllls, freshman from Penn State. “The events
help keep your mind on our great country that we
live in and not the weather."

Many in attendance over the weekend were on
hand to enjoy the time with their families, to expo
rience the Inauguration experience with a genera-
tion that will see the ceremony for the last time in
the 30th century.

’lilie entire \Yaslimgton, D.C. .\Ietropolitan
police force was up and running its patrols yester‘
day at 4 a in. Most ofthe Secret Service and hill
officers were working hard to keep the streets safe.
and their presence was known to everyone around.

Anderson tears ligament,
llllt llll‘ I‘GSI Ill 88380"

By Chris Easterling
Spur/r I'k/I'ror

'I‘he collegiate career of Derek Anderson
came to an end yesterday when it was discovered
that he had torn his right anterior cruciate liga~
tnent last Saturday against Auburn.

Anderson. who tore his left ACI. while a
sophomore at Ohio State in 1994, injured the
knee in the second half of the VViIdcats' 7753
win over the 'I‘igers. Ile did not think it was seri-
ous enough at the time.

“It‘s a strain." he said after the game. “I'm
fine. You can tell a serious thing just by the
degree of pain and the stiffness that you get."

It was originally diagnosed as a contusion by
team physician DaVid (Iaborn, but he had not
practiced since the game. Ile underwent a Mag—
netic Resonance imaging earlier yesterday at the
UK Sports Medicine Clinic, where the tear was
found.

“The MRI has shown that Derek suffered a
complete tear of his anterior cruciate ligament,"
Dr. Darren johnson said in a release. “\ 'c'll
schedule reconstructive surgery within the next
week or l0 days and begin rehabilitation imme—
diately."

Anderson was named the Southeastern Con—
ference Player of the Week by averaging 18
points, six rebounds and three assists in wins
over Georgia and Aubum last week.

For the season, he was leading the SEC in
scoring with 3 l8!) point per game avera c. The
6-foot-5 guard out of Doss High Sc ool in
Louisville also leads the team in steals with 2.l
thefts a amc, three-point shooting (40.4 per-
cent) anilzfrec throw shooting (80.6 rcent).

“We’re extremely disappointe for Derek
Anderson,” UK Coach Rick Pitino said in a
release. “He was having a fantastic senior season.
Richt now, we‘ll just turn our attention to his
rehabiliation. We expect him to make a full

“I knew the team needed a

“Nazr is going to be a great
player in this program,” Coach
Rick Pitino said. “He's starting to

UK's 85.8 points-per-game average is deceiving, to say the least, padded by early-
season routs as well as stunning offense showings against Indiana and Purdue. In
a recent four-game stretch, UK managed to clear 75 points only once. Rick Pitino
says he's asking Ron Mercer and Derek Anderson to involve other players more
often. For now, though, UK seems stuck in neutral.

Pitino professes to be “only about 50 to 60 percent pleased" with his team‘s
defense, but it’s hard to argue with the numbers. The Cats are allowing a measly
61.9 points per game, and their opponents have managed just a .397 shooting
percentage, including a minuscule 29 percent from three-point range. UK has a
long way to go to match last year’s accomplishments. but Pitino's defense looks

Though Anthony Epps had a doughnut in the assist column once this season, he's
proving once again to be a solid floor leader, and backup Wayne Turner is coming
along, slowly but surely developing into one of the Southeastem Conference‘s
most harassing defensive point guards.Anderson has emerged as the SEC‘s best
player, bar none. He leads UK in scoring. three-point field goals made and steals.

Despite Mercer’s recent shooting woes. he might be the second~best player in the
league. Jared Prickett could serve as a nice compliment to the outside game, but

foul trouble has limited him to fewer than 20 minutes six times. Nazr Mohammed

and Jamaal Magloire‘s stats combine to look like those of an all-SEC player: 13.3

points and 10.1 rebounds per game. 55 blocks and a .511 field goal percentage.

little doing Ilills after IIII'S ﬁrst win

By Jay G. tale

Call it the road to (iainesville.

The No. I5 L'K Cyiii Kats
took another step toward their
goal of a team berth at April's
NCAA (Ihampionshi ) by defeat-
ing both George “'asl‘iington and
Radford on liriday night.

And though the Kats' tourrdes
force forwarded their record to 3—
0. it was the surprising strength of
their performance that had eien
the most scrupulous suppoiter
thinking big.

“I'm absolutely thrilled with
the writirmani'e." UK head coach
Leali Little said. “If we‘re this
good this early, there is no telling
what this team can accomplish."

\\’hat was telling about L’K's
performance was the unusual
source of key contributions.

“'ith several gymnasts injured.
the Kats looked to freshmen .\Ill‘.l
(Ihitwood and Kristen Iloeferlin
for production.

accomplished.

Chitwood finished first in both
the beam and ﬂoor exercise. lloe~
ferlin captured second place in the
meet‘s all—around competition.

'l‘hose key contributions
helped propel UK to an overall
score of 194.30. besting their pre—
vious output against Ohio State by
nearly fotir points.

“If otir young people step up
and can be competitive, it can
make this team something spe-
cial," Little said. “It‘s that chemr
istry thing. A team either has it or
not — and this team has it."

lloeferlin's contribution was
especially surprising. considering
that a recent missed vault had

team physicians thinking of torn
knee ligaments.

But the injury proved to be less
serious and lloeferlin was able to
compete Friday night with little
discomfort.

“I still need to improve on my
confidence." a humble lloeferlin
said after the meet. “But I’m reall '
happy I was able to perform well
tonight."

Despite an ankle injury that
continues to plague LFK's usual
suspect, a Is .1. Robin I‘iwing, the
x\ll~\meru‘.in was still able to cap—
tuie tiist place on bars and second
on beam

“\\ e deiinitely had more conli—
dent c this n cckcttd with a win
under our belts." l‘iwing said.

“\\ e have a lot more potential
still left to reali7e. \\'e improved
our confidence on floor and beam
and look what happened." she said
of the team’s ability to place seven
gymnasts among the top 10 in
those events.

Since the preseason, Little has
asserted that consistent scoring in
the [95 range would likely earn
the team a national championship
berth at the .\'(I:\:\s in
(iainesville. lila.

’l‘he team's 194.30 score out of
IVS isn't too far off.

“’l‘liis meet should boost us
into the top l0." Little said.

“It wasn't an intense .ind stress—
ftil situation, but the girls treated
it like the SliCs. \\'e were throw-
ing out scores that would have
been among our best last season
it's incredible."

The (iym Kats‘ now go back to
work and look to land their first
Southeastern Conference win as
they travel to Auburn on Friday
night.

The UK senior swimmers

home meet on Saturday.

The team played host to the
(:lCII’ISOI‘I 'l‘igers. and CK (Zoach

tough meet against the team
from Death Valley.

(ionclly was surprised that the
teams performed so well, with
the men winning 15030 and the
women winning ISO-10;.

“It was a real emotional meet
for these guys. with the seniors
and all that." (Ionelly said. “Also
I think the men were pretty mad
that they lost the South (Iarolina
meet so they took it out on these
guys a little bit."

'l‘he L’K women won the first
medley relay. while the L'K men
lost their medley relay. ’l‘he
\\'ildcats then won the next It)
races. and went on to win 1‘) out
ono events.

The most impressive race for
the (Iats was the IOOO—yard
freestyle.

()n the women's side of the
race. Leigh Dalton won the race
by setting a new Lancaster
Aquatic Center pool record with
a time of‘}:5_’.63.

“ lilie caliber of her training
and her talent level and stuff like
that. anytime she swims there's a
possibility that she can do some—
tliing like that." (Ionelly said.

I he head swim coach also said
that while it was not a very big
surprise. it was a pleasant one.

(l he UK men dominated the
l()00 with Nat Lewis and lien
l’owler linishing first and second.
Senior Mike 'l‘har missed third
by less than three seconds.

'lilie senior men performed
well in their last meet at UK.
