Victor Hazard to take over as dean

New dean: Hazard looks forward to change and working with an
experienced staff as UK's new dean of students

By Ashley York
NEWS EDITOR

Victor Hazard's passion
during his college career was
to become a professional bas-
ketball player. Not exactly
what you call the UK dean of
students.

“To say (the job) is my
passion might be a bit...We
never know what we want to
be," he said.

A knee injury halted Haz-
ard‘s basketball career, but he
is happy with the way things
turned out.

“I wanted to be a profes-
sional basketball player. Upon
tearing my knee in college, the

scouts became uninterested
and I started focusing on my
academic pursuits. Every-
thing worked out for the best."
Hazard said.

The Board of Trustees
meeting revealed on Tuesday
that Hazard takes over the
dean of students position in
August. Hazard will resume
the chair of current dean of
students. David Stockham.
who retires in August after 30
years of working at UK.

"I am looking forward to
the dean of students position.
The experience of the staff
made the job appealing. Most
of the staff has been here for
10 years. so it is a good transi.

tion for both. i have very com-
petent and professional people
to work with a superior
staff." Hazard said.

After 12 years of working
at the University as the associ-
ate dean of students. Hazard
feels confident about the pro-
motion.

Even though he isn't
cheering about the promotion.
he (lid agree that the job en-
tails different responsibilities
and experiences.

“You wear a number of
different hats as the dean of
students. Some days the dean
must wear all hats.“ Hazard
said. “l'm not cheering (about
the promotion). but we all

have to work and my profes-
sion is higher education and
student affairs. The new job al-
lows for change and l need a
change from this seat."

Hazard currently occupies
the associate dean of students
position. which entails han»
dling student disciplinary
matters, assisting the current
dean of students and supervi-
sory responsibilities for seven
other professional staff meni-
bers.

Although the dean of stu
dents position requires a more
demanding schedule. Hazard
admitted that the job appeared
attractive to him for several
reasons.

“I was the assistant dean.
associate dean and now the
dean of students seems to be
the next step." he said.

Beware: UK officials

say it is important that

Metallica and Dr. Dre didn't
appreciate the availability and
simplicity of downloading their
music from Napster. so they ﬁled a
suit that said Yale University, at!"

violated copyright laws because
they failed to terminate access to. .

Since musicians are upset,and .-
universities are facing lawsuits,
UK faculty, staff and students need
to understand the legalities in-
volved with downloading songs

from Napster’s site.

Doyle Friskney, associate vice
president of information systems
at UK, said most students and fac-
ulty members do not understand
that when they download a song
from Napster, they are legally

stealing from the recording indus-

“Napster gets its music by
someone running a program and
getting sounds that have been digi-
tally recorded. The ﬁles are saved
on a hard drive, and Napster al-
lows those to be downloaded.
Metallica is suing for this because
they say it violates copyright

laws," he said.

Metallica also said that uni-
versities contribute to this copy-
right infringement taking place be-
cause they know what Napster is.
how it works and that students use
it to transfer ﬁles illegally, yet they
fail to terminate or suspend stu-

keep the network open." he said.

Good or evil?: Artists debate the ethics of
Napster in the wake of the RIAA lawsuit

By Patrick Area

SCENE [noon—

The internet hurricane known as
Napster stormed its way into college stu-
dent's computers giving students free ac-
cess to nearly any song they want. The
Recording Industry Association of Amer-
ica, or RIAA recently slapped napster
with a lawsuit. The RlAA. whose mis-
sion remains to protect anti promote the
artist's music so they make money from
making music. represents thousands of
artists in the recording industry.

Local anti national music acts have
varied opinions on the ordeal.

Quoted on the RlAA website. Art
Alexakis of Everclear described Napster
as being wrong,

“I think the fact that Napster is steal-
ing recorded music is something that we
have to stop.” Alexakis said. “it's taking
money out of my kids mouth. That's the
way I look at it. It‘s wrong. It‘s inherent-
ly wrong. It‘s stealing."

Ambrosia Parsley of national record-
ing act Shivaree believes people down-
loading Napster do not understand the
implications of what they are doing.

“It's so easy to get. that l think peo-
ple don‘t realize that they are doing
something that kinda sucks." Parsley
said.

On the local front. bands receive
Napster more positively.

“I think its positive in that it gets
bands out there," Sean l’atton of local
band Delicious Trip Attendants said.

Rob Zimmerman. 1).] of local band
Mother Brain. remains carefree about
Napster.

“The issue of money loss is not a. big
issue for me." Zimmerman said. “I‘m not
worried about the record industry losing
a few bucks. I think people download
stuff they are curious about. stuff they
probably won't buy anyway."

Zimmerman‘s attitude stands as the
issue that frustrates the recording indus
try the most as evidenced by Metallica‘s
lead singer Lars Ulrich. Ulrich stands
tall above the rest as the number one ad
vocate against Napster. however he in-
sists that Napster‘s attitude is not the
only reason he remains upset about Nap-
ster according to the RIAA website.

“This is not just about money. as
some of the more cynical people will
think," Ulrich said. “This is as close as
you get to what‘s right and what‘s
wrong."

Howie Klein. president of Reprise
Records. does not hold back his opinion
on Napster. according to the RIAA web-
site.

“The people who are on the board of
directors and in the upperlevel manage-
ment of Napster all belong in prison."
Klein said.

Southhall denied scholarship

LEXINGTON. Ky. m Kentucky basketball
coach Tubby Smith decided to revoke the schol—
arship of signee Michael Southall on Wednesday
following the Wisconsin prep star's guilty plea to
misdemeanor drug charges.

“This is one of the toughest decisions I‘ve
ever had to make, but we've chosen to revoke
Michael‘s scholarship because his behavior was
detrimental to the program.“ Smith said in a
statement. "We believe he is a young man who
has a lot of potential and a lot to look forward to
in the future. This move will allow him to pursue
other options. and we wish Michael and his fami<
ly the best.“

Southall pleaded guilty to misdemeanor mar-
ijuana possession charges Tuesday and received
a six-month stayed jail sentence. He also pleaded
guilty to felony marijuana delivery, but under a
deferred prosecution agreement, that count will
not appear on his record if he fulﬁlls the terms of
a two-year probation.

Drada finds way to
UK, NCAA finals

By Will Messer
SPORTSDAILV EDITOR

At age 21 Carlos Drada en-
rolled at UK after three years of
professional tennis ,, and he
felt like a disgrace.

“My first years of college I
felt like a failure." Drada said.
”because I wasn't in the top 10
or 15 in the world.“

For most athletes. a schol‘
arship at a SEC-school would
mean anything but failure. but
then again. most people weren‘t
ranked the number two player
in their continent at age 14.

Drada. the first UK tennis
player to make the NCAA f1-
nals. began playing tennis at
age ﬁve in his native country of
Colombia. His father was a ten
nis coach and his mother also
played. Initially. Drada played
because it was the only way he
could get his hands on carbon-
ated beverages.

“My mom was really into
eating healthily." Drada said.
“and the only time she would
give me a soft drink was when I
played tennis.“

Drada, now 25. may have
played for Cokes in the begin-
ning. but he soon began playing
to win. In 1985 he won the 10-

and-under division in Colombia
and at 14 he was ranked the
numbertwo tennis player in
the 12-14 age group in South
America.

Drada‘s won a scholarship
to Nick Bolletierri‘s prestigious
tennis academy in Bradenton.
Fla. where Andre Agassi once
trained.

Gabriel Jaramillo. the col-
lege roommate of Dennis
Emory. UK's tennis coach.
coached Drada in Bradenton.
After Drada finished high
school. Emory offered him a
scholarship to play at UK. but
Drada opted instead to play pro-
fessionally. Drada played for
three years. but was not ranked
higher than No. 590 in the
world. So in1996. Drada decided
to come to Kentucky. At times
his play was brilliant. but in-
consistency plagued his career.

This was the case for his
senior season also. Drada
played outstanding at times. do
feating Florida's Jeff Morrison.
the number-one player in the
country and last years champi-
on. but only compiled a record
of 24-20.

In the 2000 NCAA tourna-
ment. Drada put all his frustra-
tions behind him.

“I just began to feel like I
could win. I just knew it." Dra-
da said. “I remember telling my
trainer I was going to win the
tournament."

In Drada‘s remarkable run
to the ﬁnals he beat three of the
top-15 players in the country
and achieved his goal of becom»
ing an All-American. but he fell
in the finals to Stanford's Alex
Kim.

Now. Drada plans on giving
professional tennis another
shot.

He isn't concerned with the
stereotype that most tennis
players have already peaked at
his age.

“I’m playing well right now
and maybe I can peak at 27 or
28." he said.

If things don‘t work out for
Drada. he has a backup plan.
Drada has a double major in ﬁ-
nance and marketing. and has
been offered a job by the invest-
ment ﬁrm Merrill Lynch.

“1 don't think of myself as
just a tennis player. I just think
of tennis as a part of my life.“
Drada said. “Many people think
if you‘re a great athlete you’re a
great person. but being a great
person is more than just being
a great athlete."

NCAA blows off BatCats

Committee closes its doors: Cats season
goes unrewarded, players move on to MLB

By Ron Cox
STAFF WRITER

It was a painful ending to
an otherwise remarkable sea-
son for the UK Bat Cats.

After being knocked out of
the SEC tourney. the Cats were
anticipating an invitation to
the ‘big dance.‘

Those hopes were dashed
when the NCAA tournament se-
lection committee failed to give
the Cats an at-large bid into the
College World Series.

With an overall record of
38-20]. a 14-game winning
streak to begin the season, and
a six-game winning streak to
end the regular season. the
team felt that they deserved to
be in the tournament.

“Overall. 1 think this was a
great year for Kentucky base-
ball." coach Keith Madison
said. “It was just a disappoint-
ing way to ﬁnish the season."

They composed a non-con-
ference record of 24-6. and
played in arguably the toughest
conference in the country. And

they upset the number one
team in the nation, the South
Carolina Gamecocks. in the
ﬁrst round of the SEC tourney.

However. that victory
would turn out to be the last for
the 2000 Cats. as they would
drop the next two games, one to
Florida and the rematch
against the Cocks. to exit the
SEC tourney.

Some think the NCAA tour-
nament committee dropped the
ball when it came to drawing
up this year’s pairings for the
College World Series.

Out of the 64 teams that
made it into the NCAA touma-
ment there were 21 teams that
had fewer than 38 wins. There
were also 20 teams with more
than 20 losses.

Some teams that made the
tournament had remarkably
similar overall records. The
University of Southern Califor-
nia went 38-18 and was given a
number one seed.

More shocking is the fact
that there were three teams
that had losing records: Jack-

son State (2628). Wagner (2428-
1) and South Alabama (27-31).

One reason that the Cats
were passed over may be that
including them would put sev-
en-SEC teams in the tourney.
However. this doesn't make the
news any easier for Madison to
take.

“It‘s unfair to have teams
with worse records in weaker
conferences get in.“ Madison
said.

On a more positive note.
four Bat Cats have been select-
ed in Major League Baseball‘s
2000 ﬁrst-year player draft.

First to be chosen was ju-
nior pitcher Brandon Webb. the
Cats‘ number one starter. The
Arizona Diamondbacks took
Webb in the eighth round. The
D‘backs also grabbed senior
Andy Green in the 24th round.

Junior All—American catch-
er John Wilson went in the 11th
round to the New York Mets.
And the Cleveland Indians took
junior pitcher Jon Hooker in
the 40th.

“Getting drafted is pretty
exciting," Green said. “Next the
(Arizona) area scouts will come
down. and we‘ll see how it goes
from there.“

Actors' Guild dazzles
with Death Defying A

Playful evening : An eccentric environment with fantastical
predicaments make for a fun night at the Actors’ Guild

By Brandie Bright
SlAFF WRllER

"Did you bury the lawnmower?" At the
gates of hell. what would you answer?
These fantastical predicaments begin the
trail of comedic inquiries proposed in the
production of Death Defying Acts. per-
formed by the Actors' Guild of Lexington.
This compilation of three one-act comedies
is the result ofthe talented thespians David
Mamet (Glengarry Glen Ross. American
Buffalo). Elaine May (Primary Colors. A
New Leaf) and Woody Allen (Annie Hall.
Crimes and Misdemeanors).

Directed by Shannon Christy. a recent
UK graduate with an MA. in Theatre. the
play provides a wicked way to spend an
evening laughing in the face of death. at
least at those who are about to die. In the
first act. titled "An Interview," a sleazy
lawyer faces his final trial. Mamet‘s short
act consists of the metaphoric. yet intrigu-

ing dialogue between Hell‘s classy atten-
dant and an ethically questionable attor—
ney. When asked. ”Did you bury the lawn-
mower?" . the attorney. played by UK grad-
uate student Jim McDermott. cleverly
