Columbia Avenue has been a lit-
tle more crowded than usual the
past few weeks and will continue to

e for about another month or so.

Construction workers, backhoes,
trucks, gravel and now deep and
wide manholes have invaded the
area in a project to bury utility lines
on Columbia from Rose Street to

motorists, pedestrians, bicyclists and
residents.

be done after 10 weeks.

Because KU derived no beneﬁt from the electric

said.

Denney said the electric part of the job costs
$136,370. The communications upgrade‘s total bill
comes to $175,970.

Even though the combinations upgrade will even-

Sleep deprivation is not the only problem.

AIIIIBI‘SOII pleads innocent
alter arrest ill Louisville

Staff i report

UK senior basketball player Derek Anderson
pleaded innocent on charges of running a red light
and driving with a suspended license yesterday
morning in jefferson County District Court. He
spent two hours in alefferson County jail.

Anderson, a (i—foot—S guard who has been out
with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right
knee since jan. 18, was arrested at approximately 4
a.m. yesterday byjeffersontown police.

lie was released on his own recognizance. lie is
due back in court March 12.

,leffersontown Police Chief Fred Rocmeley said
Anderson ran through two consecutive traffic
lights. The first was at Linn Station Road and
Timberwood Circle, the second at Linn Station
and Hurstbourne Parkway.

Anderson was drivin a 1996 Ford Explorer,
which was registered untﬁr the Ford Motor Credit
Com )any. Roemeley said Anderson’s car had been
wrec ed, and the car he was driving when pulled
over was a rental.

The arresting ofﬁcer, Officer jeff Marean,
wrote in the police re ort that Anderson was very
mannerly when pulledhwcr. There was no alcohol
involved and he was not speeding during the inci-
dent.

“He (Anderson) didn't realize that he had a sus-

nded license, but it‘s not suspended” UK Coach
Rick Pitino said yesterday on his Big Blue Line.
“He paid a ﬁne that happened in 1995 that showed
up late.

“I don’t understand the (media) attention this
(situation) is getting,” he said. “We'll handle this
internally.”

Pitino uipped that it was Anderson's bad knee
that locked up and he didn‘t have enough strength
to lift it up, so he just had to go through the red
light.

“Without question, Derek’s wrong," Pitino
said. “But he's a lO-star person on a five-star
scale.”

Sendek garners
mentor's praises

By Chris Easterllng
Spam Editor

After beating one of his former
assistants, Florida’s Billy Dono-
\an, on Saturday, UK Coach Rick
l'itino had praise for the accom-
plishments of another protégé,

North Carolina State’ Herb
Sendek.
Scndek’s Wolfpack team

knocked off Wake Forest 60—59 in
overtime at Winston-Salem, N.C.
The game-winning basket was
called a three-pointer when the
player’s foot was on the line.

“All shots like that are broken
plays,” said Pitino of the shot on
his Big Blue Line yesterday. “I
thought Herb Sendek coached as
well as anybody can in that situa-
tion."

Pitino recalled a similar situa-
tion while he was at Providence
playing against St. John’s, when a
controversial call went his way on
the Redmen's home court.

“At the end of the ame, the
buzzer went off and (ormer St.
John’s coach) Louie Carnesseca
was complaining that their still
should be a second left on the
clock,” Pitino said. “We left the
court. I was told that the referees
were coming in to bring us back
out (so) I ripped off Billy Dono-
van’s jersey and threw him in the
shower.

“I had another guy get in the
shower. (The ofﬁcials) came in

and said ‘you may be coming out
on the court.’ and I said that we
we’re not coming out because we
have three ys in the shower."

The reFe’il'ees then called the
game in favor of the Friars.

PI‘ICIIGI IIIIS IONIC!

Coming off one of their better
defensive efforts of the season
against Florida, the Cats put
together one of their best practices
of the season, Pitino said.

Among the players who shined
were the big man duo of Nazr
Mohammed and Jamaal Magloire.
Mohammed was coming off of his
ﬁfth double-double of the season,
with 14 points and 10 rebounds
against the Gators.

“I didn’t want to ask him
(Mohammed) what was wrong,”
Pitino said. “Normally, Nazr is
not a good practice player. Today
he put on a show in practice that I
haven’t seen the likes of in a long
time. (Mohammed’s play) then
really spurred Jamaal Magloire on
and they really got after it.”

Tourney talk

Pitino took a moment to assess
who the top four seeds in the
NCAA Tournament should things
remain the way they are ri ht now.

He said that he felt U would
remain in the Southeast, playing at
either Memphis, Tenn., or Char—
lotte, N.C. Top-ranked Kansas

ST. LOUIS — The St. Louis
Rams haven’t given up on trou-
bled running back Lawrence
Philli s—yet.

A ay after Phillips’ latest brush
with the law, new eneral manager
and coach Dick ermeil said yes-
terday he doesn't believe he can
count on last year’s ﬁrst—round
draft pick. He said the or aniza-
tion is intent on helping P illips,
but the Rams are prepared to
move on without him.

“The Rams are going to line up
and play with or without
Lawrence Phillips, OK,” Vermeil
said. “I’d just like him to be part of

it so we can help him and he can
help us.”

The Rams haven’t been able to
help Phillips because they can’t
ﬁnd him, and Vermeil wonders
why a player would not contact his
employer under such circum-
stances.

“Well, it sure would have been
nice,” Vermeil said. “But I don’t
think that’s part of his back-

ound, I don’t think that’s part of
is thinking.”

Phillips a ent, Mitch Frankel,
didn’t immediately return a tele-
phone message from The Associ-
ated Press.

Phillips, 2], was arrested early
Sunday in Omaha, Neb., after
cursing and threatening police
ofﬁcers who came to his hotel
room. As police escorted him from

the hotel, he threatened to beat it
another person he fought with
earlier in the evening, ofﬁcers said.
Also, two women who attended
the party accused Phillips and
other party-goers of touching
them inappropriately. One woman
told police he poked her in the
buttocks with a champagne bottle.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Ten-
nessee coach Pat Summitt had an
easier time tickin off what her
team did poorl an what it did
right, but the o. 8 Lady Vols still

ulled out a 64-59 victory over
0. l5 Vanderbilt.

“If you look at it, you say
Tiffani (Johnson) struggled and
Kellie (lolly) struggled and Abby
(Conklin) played in spurts, and

you have to ask yourself, what did
we do well?” Summitt said. “We
worked on the defensive end is
what we did.”

The Lady Vols forced Vander-
bilt into a season-high 29
turnovers, converting them into
22 points, to win a game in which
they were out-shot, out-rebound-
ed, beaten 5-0 in 3-point shots and
had fewer than half the assists
handed out by Vandy players.

ChamiqueHoldsclaw scored 22
points, including two free throws
to seal the victory with 12 seconds
left, to lead the Lady Vols (21-7,
8-3 Southeastern Conference).

Vanderbilt ( 16-8, 6-5) led with
3 1/2 minutes to go and trailed by
only 60-59 after An ela Gorsica
scored with 35 secon

remaining.

LOUISVILLE Ky. — Though the crowd at the
New Edition Home Again Iour saved its loudest
cheers for an unexpected guest Sunday night, it
wasn't because the headliners weren't up to par.

Despite thum ing, crowd -rocking sets by New
E (lition and Blac treet, the crowd was at its loudest
IIhen Keith Sweat brought unbilled L. L C oolj. on
stage for a verse. But the acts everyone expected to
see never disap ointed.

and “Hit Me ff,’ New Edition ot the crowd

His solo set was even rowdier, as he dro )ped his
drawers during “My I’rero ative" and liounced
throu h a 15- minute version o “Get Away. "

Bel Biv Devoe also shone during its solo shot
producing the best sin—g along set of the night IIith
