llll targets long-distance learning

By James Ritchie
Stafl~ ll’riter

UK offers an option for people who would like to
take college courses at UK but live too far away. UK
Distance Learning Programs allow students to earn
degrees without ever attending a class on the Lex-
ington Campus.

Through interactive video, also called compressed
video, a faculty member in Lexington can lecture to
students at community colleges in several Kentucky
towns, including Paducah, Owensboro, Ashland and
Prestonsbur /. The system is fully interactive, mean-
ing the stu ents and professor can see, as well as
hear, each other.

“It’s really excellent technology," said Andy
Spears, associate director oflibraries.

More than 400 people took classes through inter-
active video last year.

This year 101 students are enrolled in doctoral
programs in education using interactive video,
Spears said. Two different doctoral )rograms in edu—
cation are available through the technology, Etlucir
tion Administration and Higher Education.

Students can enroll in undergraduate, graduate or
professional courses and programs taught through

interactive video.

A wide variety of classes are available, including
courses in agriculture, math, family studies, library
science, engineering, pharmacy, social work and
education.

master's level mining engineering, special education
and high school and college level animal science.
UK is receiving a federal grant to set up more
interactive television sites, which state and local gov
ernments matched. The funding totals Sin million.

 

Several allied health professions
courses are available, including nursing,
physical therapy and clinical laboratory
sciences.

Cats in training:
JV project works

By Jill Erwin
Staff Writer

This summer, UK coach Rick
Pitino contemplated usin r a
junior varsity basketball squa for
the first time since 1976.

The plan was for the team to
provide extra instruction and play-
ing time for incoming freshmen
Nazr Mohammed, Jason Lathrem,
and ()liver Simmons, along with
sophomore walk—on Cameron
Mills.

The JV \Vildcats finished their
season last week with a 9-4 record.
And it seems the experiment was a
success, especially for the four
players who will continue with the
varsity team.

Mills led the team in scoring
with a 23.7 point average.
Mohammed pitched in 23.1 while
Simmons and Lathrem contribut-
ed 18.6 and 10.7 points a game
respectively.

All four players averaged more
than 26 minutes a game with
Mohammed getting a team—lead—
ing 30.8 minutes a contest.

“Without the JV team, we’d
just be sitting on our butts, watch-
ing the varsity play,” said Lath-
rem, who is also a walk-on. “The
environment of the game-type
atmosphere has helped me.”

Mohammed, a center from
Chicago, was labeled a “project"
player when he first came to UK.
Since enrolling, he has dropped
more than 50 pounds to 247. The
junior varsity team helped him
improve his low—post game.

“I learned how to play help
defense, and I’m getting better at
blocking shots and rebounding,”
Mohammed said.

The JV team allowed the play-
ers the opportunity to compete in
game situations, and gave them
much—needed experience.

“It hel s to keep my game on
edge untirl'm ready to play varsi-
ty,” Simmons said.

“I feel I’m real close (to being
able to pla varsity),” Mohammed
said. “Right now, the important
part is me getting better at sliding
my feet.”

The junior varsity team also
gave UK students and basketball
managers the chance to put on a
Wildcat uniform and improve
their basketball skills.

“Just like playin against the
varsity makes me a Eetter player,
them playing against Nazr,
Cameron, Oliver and me will
make them better,” Lathrem said.
“The better the competition, the
more it helps them.”

All four players endorse keep—
ing the team around in years to
come, but Mills doubts it will hap-
pen.

Mills said it is a lot of work for
head coach Delray Brooks and
coach \Vmston Bennett.

“Coach Pitino might rather
have them doing something for
the varsity. There are a lot of
things that will go into deciding if
we have aJV team or not,” he said.

Simmons offers another point
of warning —— attendance.

UK averaged 407 fans per

home game — dramatically less
than the thousands predicted
before the season. However, the
Cats drew an average of 1,302 on

the road and 3,397 at neutral sites.

“We don’t have enough people
at the games,” he said. “They need
to do a lot more publicity.”

Baseball team returns plenty oi experience

By Rob Herbsl
and 0. Jason Staplelon
Sniff I'Vr‘llt‘r‘i‘

Although the UK baseball team
finished 29—32 and fifth in the
Southeastern Conference Eastern
Division last year, a solid core of
experienced play-
ers raises expecta—
tions for the
upcoming season.

The team
boasts 11 return-
ing seniors and a

 

preseason All—
American, in

junior center Madison
fielder Chad

Green.

Predicted to finish third in the
SEC East this year behind Ten-
nessee and Florida, head coach
Keith Madison believes this could
be one of his best teams ever.

“On paper, it is one of the
best," Madison said yesterday at a

 

news conference at Memorial Col—
iseum. “They have great attitudes
and are a fun team to coach.”

The Cats come enter the sea—
son with confidence after finishing
second in the SEC Eastern Divi-
sion Tournament.

“I’m more concerned about our
team being over confident rather
than under confident,” Madison
said. “But we can use that as a
springboard.”

Madison believes this team’s
greatest strength is its ability to
run the bases. Green will be
looked on to lead the Cats in base
running this season after setting
the SEC single-season stolen base
record with 54 last year.

To go along with the speed,
UK also has power in the middle
of the fineup withJay Tedesco and
Pete Pryor. Tedesco tied for sec-
ond in the SEC in homers with 17
while Pryor clubbed 10 round—
trippers during 1995.

The combination of speed and

power is something Madison likes.

“Our team can supply a lot of
punch,” Madison said. “Green and
(Paul) Blandford do a great job of
setting the table.”

UK’s pitching staff was riddled
with injuries last year. All—Ameri-
can candidate Scott Downs missed
much of last season due to appen—
dicitis and a shoulder injury.

In limited action, Downs was
effective. He struck out a team—
best 102 batters in 76.1 innings,
including a UK sin Ie-game
record of 18 against Intfiana. He
should be able to pitch in time for
conference action on March 8.

Junior pitcher Curtis Whitney
was also plagued by injuries last
year, but Madison said Whitney is
ready to pitch.

“VVhitney’s 100 percent,”
Madison said. “He's throwing bet-
ter now, than any point in last’ sea—
son.”

The Cats also have youth on
the team. The roster includes five

freshmen. One frosh, shortstop
Kenny Miller ofJoIiet, 111., will be
in the starting line-up when the
season starts.

“Kenn is a fine defensive play—
er and wi I become a fine offensive
player,” Madison said.

Madison believes that Miller
comes in as one of the premiere
shortstops in the country. Chip
Rhea, last year’s shortstop, moves
to third.

The season gets underway this
weekend for the Cats. They will
take on Florida Atlantic (4-1) in a
three game series in Boca Raton,
Fla.

The Cats play their first 11
games on the road before opening
at home March 5 against Ken-
tucky Wesleyan.

“We’re considerably ahead of
last year,” Madison said. “Last
year, we were not a quality divi-
sion one opponent, much less a
quality SEC op onent. We are a
much more soli team.”

“'I‘raditionally we’ve defeated

The No. 1 singles match
between UK's Cedric Kauffmann
and the Cards' Russell Schutzman
was a reunion of sorts. Both play—
ers attended high school in
Bradenton, Fla., while attending
the Nick Bollettieri Tennis Acade-
my.

Kauffmann, the seventh-ranked
player in the nation according to
the latest Rolex rankings, took the
reunion match, which included a
first-set tiebreaker, 7-6 (7-5), 6—3.

“It was no secret for either one
of us," said Schutzman, whose

“We both have similar games and
we tried to keep the ball away
from each other’s forehands.”

Another reunion occurred in
the No . 4 singles match between
U of L’s Robby Robertson and the
Cats’ Dan Spaner. Robertson,
who lost 6-3, 6-0, attended UK

Louisville for his sophomore sea-

“It’s a big rivalry,” said UK’s

plays,” Pitino said,

 

 

Edwards, “‘and all you guys know
that because you play against him,’
so the person we have to hold in
the highest esteem is Allen
Edwards.”

Edwards scored five points in
the final six minutes to help the
Cats escape with the win.

“I remember it was close and a
lot of people ot into foul trouble,"
Edwards said of the first UGA
game. “I was told to come in and
giyle the team a lift, which I think I
di .”

The Dawgs (14-7, 5-6) proceed-
ed to drop their next two games
following the heart-breaking loss
to the Cats.

They righted the ship in time to
win their last three contests,
including Smith’s first SEC road
win last Wednesday at LSU.

“We’re pretty much doing the
same things we were doing when
we lost to Kentucky before and
when we lost five out of six games
on the road,” Smith said.

“We were able to get a victory
on the road at LSU, which is an
accomplishment. So hopefully that
will carry over into the game
against Kentucky. You have to stay
poised.”

Smith said the environment that
the Dawgs will be entering on
UK’s home court could give his
team some problems.

“Certainly, Rupp Arena is one
of the toughest places to play at in
the country and it’s going to be
interesting to see how we respond
on the road,” Smith said. “\Vith so
much noise and fan involvement at
Rupp Arena, your kids have to stay
focused and again that's where

good ball-handling will come into
play."

Anthony Epps scored only two
points in 16 minutes of play against
UGA, but remembers what the
Dawgs did to them in the first
game to keep the score so close.

“They were physical and really
came out to play," Epps said.
“\Ve're going to have to be a lot
more physical (tonight) and other
than that we‘re just going to go out
and )lay our ball game and do what
coac wants."

Note:

VVVith 10 home games down
and only three left, UK is leading
the nation in attendance with an
average of 2 3,800 fans per contest.

Anthony Epps showed once again why he’s the Cats‘ point guard when the game is

on the line. The junior from Lebanon, Ky.. scored a career-high 17 points against
Arkansas Sunday, including a number of key baskets. With Epps playing well and
freshman Wayne Turner contributing quality minutes UK’s point-guard situation -
once considered a weakness has become one of the team‘s strengths. Georgia
counters with one of the SEC’s top backcourts in Katu Davis and Pertha Robinson.

The Cats' Mark Pope fared well against Arkansas center Darnell Robinson Sunday.
Pope recorded a double-double with 11 points and 1 1 rebounds. Pope and his
lowpost teammates, Walter McCarty and Antoine Walker, will have to contend with
UGA's Terrell Bell and Carlos Strong. The latter pitched in 17 points against UK
three weeks ago, and would have scored more if not for 4-of-13 ireé throw shooting.

The Bulldogs start five seniors, and they have another senior. Steve Jones, coming
off the bench. Jones burned the Cats for 12 points on 6-of-6 shooting in the two

team's previous meeting this year.

Georgia head coach Tubby Smith will make his first appearance in Rupp Arena
since he left UK to take the head job at Tulsa. The Cats can clinch a share of the
SEC Eastern Division crown with a win tonight. UK notched its 20th win Sunday
against Arkansas, marking the 41st 20-win season in team history.
