Counselor
takes award
l tor excellence

By Chris Oakley

Contributing writer

1*».

Ester Saylor's voice carries softly, but has
helped many high school students who needed
help to graduate, and the Kentucky Coun-
selors Association (KCA) noticed — KCA
awarded Saylor the “Show and Tell" award
this year.

,1 Saylor works for the Independent Study
Program at UK.

The award was given to her because ofher
outstanding work with other counselors.

As Earl Pfansteil, director of Indepen—
dent Studies, said, “It is a sharing award.
She is an extraordinary person who is ver
involved and holds close ties with the high
schools."

The association picked Saylor out of 1,400
counselors in the state of Kentucky because, as
man parents say, Saylor handles hi h school
chil ren wonderfully, said Diane Crouch, a
counselor at Tates Creek High School.

“Ester is very helpful, knowled cable, won-
derful, cooperative and we al love her,"
Crouch said.

Saylor received the award on Oct. 15 for
her outstanding work as a counselor. She
counsels both college and high school stu-
dents at UK, but other counselors seek her
hel as well, Crouch said.

aylor started as the coordinator for high
school counseling in 1985.

She started with only 300 applicants, but
since then enrollment has grown to more than
8,000 students.

Saylor re resents UK as the conference
exhibitor at t e KCA annual meeting.

She is noticed for her outstandin public
relations work at these meetings, fansteil
said.

Crouch said she could not compliment
Saylor enough.

SAB seeks committee heads

Creative students
sought for vacant

seats on the hoard

By Kristin Henley
Stafli l Vriter

The Student Activities Board is
looking for creative students to fill

vacant chairs for the spring
semester.
Seven chairs are available

because the two-semester terms
alternate from fall-to-fall or spring-
to-spring.

SAB is seeking applicants for
positions in the following areas:
Homecoming chair, Family \Veek-
end chair, Multicultural Affairs
chair, Concert chair, Contemporary
Affairs chair, Spotlight Jazz chair
and Performing Arts chair.

“Any students who are interested
in these positions are encouraged to
apply,” said \Vinn Stephens, SAB
president. “\Vhile it is helpful for
applicants to have sotite knowled e
of the area in which they will )e
working, it is certainly not neces-
sary."

“Programs overlap and you (sort
of) reinvent the wheel," said Keith
Tidball, an anthropology senior and
a Multicultural Affairs (Lo—chair.

“Some chairs serve as designates
or understudies to assist newcom—
ers," Stephens said. “It ives them
an opportunity to be ab e to learn
from the past person.”

SAB teaches students to practice
their leadership, business writing,
budgetary and time management
skills, Stephens said. Being an SAB
leader can also increase one’s confi—
dence, he added.

SAB offers three levels of bette~
fits for students, Tidball said.

One, at a personal level, students

gain experience, valuable contacts
and different perspectives.

Two, offcatiipus. students make
contacts with others they would not
have ordinarily made.

“You make connections with
others, siich as musical groups .tiid
their booking agents,“ 'l'idb-all said.

Three, stut ents appreciate an

international flavor for things of

other cultures.

“Diversity is an important ele—
ment," Tidball said.

“You have to be able to deal
with new things and look at new
ideas as benefiting the whole cam—
pus," said .\lonica lirye, a commuv
nications sophomore and Cinema
Chair.

The board of committee chairs
works together critiquing, research
ing and ultimately deciding who
comes to campus.

.‘I.\i\‘ot‘lilfcd Pruitt"

LAII:\IN.~\. Ilawaii ~ The
stage is set for a championship
rematch between a pair of \\'ild—
cats. defending national champion
Arizona and runner—up UK.

The two teams advanced Mon—
day with victories in the Maui
Invitational with No. 1 Arizona
easily handling Boston College
99—69 and No. 8 UK overcomin
some cold shooting to turn back
George \Vashington 70-55.

The winner could face No. 3
Duke, which plays Missouri in the
other semifinal, in the tourna-
ment's championship game
\Vedncsday,

Despite the semifinal buildup.
L'K coach Tubby Smith said he
won‘t place too much emphasis on
it.

“\Ve're a new team. it‘s a new
ycar and a new coaching staff; a
first for me." said Smith. who
replaced Rick I’itino. “It will be
interesting to see what will tran~
spire. l have a lot of respect for
Lute Olson and his young men."

But a couple of L'K players.
it ho were in the national champi»
onship game last year. have other
ideas.

\\'ayne 'I'urnct‘. who had 16
points in L'K‘s victory over
(icorge \\'as‘hington. said. “It's a
good opportunity to play thosc
guys again. They've got most of
their guys back. while we’re a
totally different team. \Ve'll iust
concentrate on our game and see
what happens."

Added _lcff Sheppard. “Ariyona
and Kentucky have had some
memorable games w, here four
years ago and the championship
game. \\'c'll both play hard and
see what happens. \\'c‘rc both
\Viltlcats.“

:\t that iuncturc. Smith chimed
in. “Yeah. it will be a real ‘(Iat
fight."

.\Iike Bibby of Arizona said he

 

 

6th Place

 

 

 

 

Chaminade

 

   

didn't care which team he faced in
the semifinals.

“\\'e have to just come out and
play hard," he said. “\Ve know
what to expect. This team is a
family and we don't want to let
anyone down."

To which teammate Michael
Dickerson added. “For us. every
game is like a championship game.
So we have to stay in focus and
concentrate."

To set itself tip for tonight‘s
game. Kentucky had to overcome
cold shooting. Lucky for the
\\'ildcats. George \Vashington
was colder. L'K (2-0) shot 36 per-
cent (22—of—(il). while the Colo—
nials (3-1) were at 34 percent (2-i-
(if—70).

“Overall. I was pleased except
for our turnovers (19)," Smith
said. “\Ve work on challenging
every shot. This is the best job
we've done so far."

The game plan, he said. was to
concentrate on “limiting Alexan—
der Koul's touches and making it
hard for Shawnta Rogers to get
the ball up the court."

It worked to perfection as the
7—foot-1 Koul. who had been aver-
aging 17.7 points. was limited to
eight.

The 5—foot--l Rogers led the
Colonials with 15 points. but nine
came when the game was out of
reach.

Arizona didn’t do much wrong
in its victory over Boston College.

The defending national chant-
pion \Vildcats (2—0) had no prob-
lem with the I‘Zagles. taking a dou—
ble-digit lead less than four min—
utes into the game. Boston (Zol—
lcge (1-1) pulled within four
points midway through the second
quarter. but that was as close as it
70k.

“BC did a great job in the first
half in coming at us." Olson said.
“But our guys did a good job of
adjusting and putting on good
pressure.

A deep bench also helped. but
the player who made the differ-
ence was Bibby, the sophomore
point guard who had 22 points. 15
on 3-pointcrs. and seven assists.

“Mike did a great iob." Olson
said. “I Ie controls the game. IIe's
showing outstanding leadership
this year."

LOUISVILLE k Having
turned Utah State from pcrcnnial
loser to bowl-bound tcam,_]ohn L.
Smith accepted another rebuilding
job as head football coach at
Louisville.

Smith inherits a team that
recently finished the worst season
in Louisville history. The (Sardi-
nals were 1-10 under fired coach
Ron (Iooper, with their lone vic-
tory against winless Illinois.

Smith's hiring Monday ended a
quick courtship and came less than
a week after Louisville fired (loop-
er after three seasons.

“1 would hope we'll have a win-
ning season next year." Smith said.
“I‘m not going to sit here and
guarantee you anything. But I
would hope that would take
place."

Smith promised to bring a
wide-open passing offense to
Louisville —— a scheme that should
suit quarterback Chris Redinan.

Athletics director Tom Jurich
said Smith‘s five-year contract
calls for a base salary of $1 50.000
per year. $150,000 per year in
iroadcast fees and another
deferred annual payment of
575.000 ~ for total of $375,000
per year.

Louisville won‘t be Smith‘s first
rebuilding job.

He took over a Utah State pro-
gram that had two winning sea-
sons in the 15 previous years. In
just three seasons. he tumcd Utah

 

 

 

 

State into Big West champion.
The Aggies will pla in the
Humanitarian Bowl on Dec. 29.

“Those kids are the toughest
thing to leave." he said. “So hope-
fully we can finish it up and get it
done right and get a jump on
recruiting here.“

The Ag ‘es were 4-7 in his first
season ant 6—5 last year, just their
second winning season in 16 cars.
Utah State lost to North exas
51—48 in their regular-season
finale Saturday to finish 6—5 again.

Their five siblings remained in
serious condition Tuesday, which
doctors say is normal. Joel was
able to breathe on his own for a
few hours Sunda before he grew
tired and was placed back on a
respirator.

Kenneth was feeding by mouth
every three hours. The rest of the
children were being fed intra-
venously.

Mrs. McCaughey, who spoke
only briefly to reporters last week,
told “Dateline” she overcame the
fear of the pregnanc with the
support of family and riends.

“Any child is a gift from God
no matter whether it's one at a
time or seven at a time," she said.

It was only the second televised
interview she has given. The first

was to KCCI—TV in Des Moines,
which helped the family keep the
preflancy a secret for several
wee .

Family spokeswoman Marlys
Popma said the McCaugheys
chose “Dateline" because they
watch the show.

It was not immediately known
whether “Dateline" paid for the
mterv1ew.

Telephone messages left with
“Dateline" and Popma were not
returned Tuesday.

Parts of the “Dateline" seg-
ment aired Tuesday morning dur-
ing NBC’s “Today" show.

Mrs. McCaughey said the first
of the seven babies she heard cry
was Natalie, born third.

“I cried longer than she did,"
she said. “The first two didn’t do
anything, and when she cried it
was just like, ‘Oh, at least I know
one of them is OK.m

“She oes beyond her call of
duty to help the kids and other

Holiday festivities peak at the
Holiday Open house Dec. 7 when
the museum celebrates the winter
holidays as Kentuckians in the

early 19th Century did, with
music, crafts and a visit from
Santa.

The IIeadly-Whitney Museum
was built in 1968, originally the
La Belle Farm of George William
Headly III, a Bel Aire jewelry
maker and art lover. His love of
art lead him to convert the farm
into a functional museum in 1973.
The museum features decorative
arts, or art that has a functional
purpose such as jewelry, furniture
or tools.

Exhibits include a Shell Grot—
to, a garage converted into a
pavilion covered with shells and
stones on its walls, a coral reef
floor and complete with a foun-
tain, was inspired by architec-
tural precedents of the 17th— and
lSth-Century France, England
and Italy.

Other exhibits include Ilead-
ly’s library, full of books of art and
decorated with “natural art” such
as elephant tusks and turtle shells
from around the world.

The jewelry room features
many of Headly’s own work. A
fourth exhibit changes occasional-
ly and presently features The
Tuttle Muddle: An Investi ation
of a Kentucky Case-on-Frame
Furniture Group.

The museum is open from l0
a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through
Friday and noon to 5 p.m. on Sat-
urday and Sunday.

The museum is always looking
for volunteers.

audience or the largest common
denominator,” Tidball said.
Responsibilities of a chair
include the leading, organizing
and recruiting of his or her com-
mittee.
TaEach chair previews events and
provides ideas and makes propos-

als to the board.

“The board votes if the event is
the best way to spend the stu-
dents’ money,” Stephens said.

“We all ask questions and are
ex cted to take it seriously,” Tid-
ballesaid.

The amount of time a chair
spends on his or her committee
varies from week to week. Events
typically require more than the
average 4-6 hours per week.

“After the hard work of plan-
ning for a good event, you can
have a lot of fun,” Frye said.

A plicants will need to sched-
ule or an interview.

The interviews will be Dec. 7
and 8, or another time can be
arranged if necessary.

A committee consisting of
four non-returning chairs and
three students not associated
with SAB will ask applicants
questions for approximately 15
minutes.

“We look for creativity and
enthusiasm,” Stephens said. “You
don’t need to have any specific
ideas just yet.”

Applications may be picked up
in 203 Student Center.

The deadline for submitting an
application is Dec. 4 at 4:30 p.m.

Secret
Service
searches
apartment

By Mellnda Marks
Daily Californian

BERKELEY, Calif. —— The
Secret Service searched the
apartment of Guy Branum yes-
terday and interrogated the Daily
Californian columnist about his
published observations on the
Clinton family.

The two agents conducting
the investigation then told
Branum to stay in his aparttnent
when he was not in class. They
said they had obtained his course
schedule from the campus Office
of the Registrar.

The columnist openly record-
ed the encounter with the agents
on a microcassette. UC police
confirmed yesterday that they
helped the Secret Service set up
the visit, although the Secret Ser-
vice would not comment on it.
One agent told Branum the
investigation was born after First
Lady Hillary Clinton read a short
news item about Branum’s col-
umn in USA Today and dis-
cussed it with a different agent.

Agent Chris Van Holt told
Branum: “I want to make sure you
don’t have any weapons or any of
the stuff that you see on TV that
actually happens in apartments,
like a big picture of Chelsea with a
big ‘X’ in blood on it.”

The columnist asked UC
Berkeley students last week to
“show your spirit on Chelsea's
bloodied carcass" after identify-
ing her place of residence and
saying she should be “destroyed.”
