Dale Howard and Erik
Hostetter are two UK students
who are spending very little time
on the Lexington Campus this
semester.

Howard and Hostetter, both
political science juniors, are typi-
cal UK students, but they are
spending the fall semester in an
atypical lace.

The no are gaining academic
credit by working as interns on

tenant governor Steve Beshear’s
campaign for a seat in the US.
Senate.

Howard serves as Beshear’s
re ional director for the First and
Fifth Congressional Districts.

Hostetter serves as the special
events scheduler.

The two students, both self-

roclaimed, “Yellow-Dog
Democrats," joined the campaign
in early February and have been a
fixture at the Frankfort-based
state Democratic Headquarters
ever since.

Howard finds campaign work
educational and excitin .

“I've learned a lot,” said
Howard, who also campaigned in
a similar capacity for Gov. Paul
Patton.

Hostetter feels his campaign
efforts to be quite rewarding.

But the rewards are sometimes
small.

The two work long hours, earn
little pay and drive daily from
their homes in Lexington to
Democratic Headquarters in
Frankfort.

While at work, the staffers
perform a wide-variety of cam-
paign related work.

“The work keeps us on our
toes,” Howard said.

The two do eve thing from
serving as liaisons etween the
campaign and county organiza-
tions, to organizing events and
coordinating advance work.

McConnellis soldiers ready for war

By Jennifer Locker
Contributing W'riter

There is a movement under
foot on campus.

At last count there were 50 foot
soldiers who are intent upon
recruiting new volunteers and dis—
tributing information to UK stu—
dents.

Does this sound like a Ninja
movie gone sour? It is not but it is
young people campaigning for
Mitch McConnell.

An organization established on
most college campuses in the
state, the Young Kentuckians for
McConnell, is the grass-roots
effort for Senator Mitch
McConnell’s re—election strate—
gies.

A steering committee of nine
students help to direct the 50 or so
volunteers that want to see
McConnell win.

These volunteers do everything
from campaigning in parking lots
at UK football games to distribut—
ing yard signs and bumper stick—
ers.

The leading force behind the

Young Kentuckians for
McConnell is Rob Bowling, a
political science senior from
Louisville.

“McConnell is a friend to col—
lege students,” Bowling said.

According to Bowling,
McConnell’s platform is conser—

vative in its approach to bring a
less intrusive yet more responsive
government.

McConnell also wants lower
student loan interest rates and
increase accessibility to colleges.

Other students are working on
McConell’s reelection campaign
in a more formal capacity.

Greg Rodgers, a biology senior
and Gail Hardy, a management
and marketing junior, spend their
free time at Republican campai n
headquarters off Nicholasvi le
Road.

Rodgers and Hardy contact
members of the Republican Party

 

in Lexington and ask them to sup-
port the campaign.

“We are asking registered
Republicans if they can help us
out by asking them to volunteer
and place a yard sign in their
yards," Rodgers said.

Hardy feels that older people
are not interested in young peo—
ple's issues.

“I hope to get more young peo-
ple interested in voting," Hardy
said.

During a recent interview at
headquarters, Hardy offered the
following bit of advice for young
people.

“Get informed
involved,” Hardy said.

McConnell supports and has
supported higher education since
he has been in Washington.

The Young Kentuckians for
McConnell have helped the sena-
tor achieve his position in VVash-
ington and continue to give a
strong foundation for McConnell
and his campaign.

Last spring, McConnell visited
the Lexington Campus and he
may visit again during this school
year.

lchConnell does return, then
the Young Kentuckians for
McConnell will have another
chance to help.

in the meantime those foot sol—
diers will be passing out informa-
tion for McConnell’s campaign in
the weeks ahead. ..

To inaugurate its week-long

Delta Sigma Phi receives top award

By Ann Dorian
Staff Writer

Delta Sigma Phi social fraternity was
honored last night with one of the most
prestigious awards their national orga-
nization gives.

Only six of the awards were handed
out nationally this year.

The Delta Sigs were honored with
the Pyramid of Excellence Award by
Gene Vance, national first vice-presi-
dent.

Vance presented the award proudly
because he has a personal relationship
with UK’s chapter.

In 1986, Vance pro osed bringing a
Delta Sig cha ter to UK.

A former can did not think that this
was such a good idea.

At that point Vance did not think

that he would ever see a Delta Sig chap-
ter at UK.

The chapter was organized in 1994
and on A til 13, they received their
charter. They are the youngest chapter
to ever receive this award, a new record
for the national or nization. _

Upon hearing is news, which was a
secret to many members until last night,
Delta Sig members were excited and

mud. -

“This is the second time that T have
been this proud. The first was the day
that we received the charter,” said
Thomas Harper, Delta Sig resident.

He said each person ha contributed
and everyone worked hard to achieve

thiigoal.
umni members of the fraternity
a d that the chapter has worked hard
deserved the award.

“The Theta Mus are a model for how

a fraterniav should come onto UK's
campus," ance said.

jamic Millard, resident of the
Alumni Cor oration oard, said he was
proud of t e cha ter because many
chapters give up the hard work once
the are venacharter.

iii ad ition to winning an award, the
brothers of Delta Sig kicked off a new
rogram they it not only support the
ii’aternity as a w ole, but also its indi-
vidual members.

The program is called The EDGE
(Education, Development, Growth,
Ethics).

Only ll chapters across the nation
will be participatin in this program.

The fans have s oken on UK’s quarterback
situation, but Coac Bill Curry isn’t listening.

Throughout last Saturday’s 3-0 win over
Indiana, the crowd of 40,500 hurled boos in
the direction of both Curry and starting quar-
terback Billyjack Haskins.

The reason: Freshman phenom Tim Couch
remained the back up, not the starter. Some-
one even made a sign that read “Cut the deuce
loose” and hung it in section 209.

“It’s almost im ssible for me to believe the

way some peope have responded to Billy'

Jack,” Curry said at his weekly news conference
yesterday. “We have some insecure people in
our culture.”

Curry refused to repeat some of the things
he heard from the stands during the game Sat-
urday.

“I wouldn’t dignify any ofit,” he said. “I’m
sorry I even brought it up.”

Curry said the fans’ treatment of Haskins’ is
not surprising even thou h the same fans
praised the quarterback‘s ef orts last season.

“It shouldn't bother you because it’s just the

sap“... ‘

way peo le are,” he said. “There is an
incredib e amount of cruelty of which
human beings are capable of, heaven
knows that a lot of people have felt that
sting in their lives.

“I’m sor? it goes along with our busi-
ness,” he a ded. “I don’t think any col—
lege student deserves to be mistreated in
that manner.”

Burger King named linebacker Mike
Schellenberger a National Scholar—Ath—
lete of the Week for his achievements in
the classroom'and on the football field.

Schellenberger was presented with a
plaque, along with a $10,000 check for
the UK general scholarship fund. The
presentation took place yesterday prior
to Curry’s news conference in the Wild-
cat Den at Commonwealth Stadium.

“We’re ve proud of Mike Schellenberg—
er,” Curry saig‘rl‘he only question he had was
if he could swap the trophy for the $10,000
check and put the trophy in the scholarship
fund.”

History has an intriguing way

Exactly one week ago, UK’s
volleyball team found itselfin the
midst of an eight-game slide and
headed nowhere but down. The
Cats took on an undermanned
Marshall University team last
Tuesday night and found a way to
right the ship — at least temporar-

After a loss at Michigan State
on Friday, the Cats find them—
selves again in need ofa trip to the

Wildcats boosted by Wcstchcstcr connection

By Neil Medley

Contributing Writer

(ioing full speed up and down the field at a
recent practice were Carrie Staber and Allison
Peppers, two UK soccer players who are used
to practicing together.

Staber, a sophomore forward, and Peppers,
a freshman outside halfback, both grew up in
Westchester, Ohio, and attended Lakota High
School. The two met when Staber was a
sophomore and Peppers was a freshman.

Though they officially met in high school,
they both played in the same youth soccer
league since their preschool years.

“We were somewhat rivals in pee-wee soc-
cer, because I played defense and (Carrie)
played offense," Peppers said.

“Yeah, it was a big rivalry,” Staber said, sar—
castically.

Years later both women put aside their
rivalry to form an impending duo at Lakota
Ili h.

T)uring Staber’s senior year, she was named

to the All—Ohio team. But after Staber headed
to UK, Peppers inherited the squad in her
senior year and was named to the All-American
team.

Now both are at UK and all that intensity
on the practice field is paying off. Staber is cur-
rently tied for the lead in goals (3) and leading
the Wildcats in points (8). Peppers has helped
a defense which has registered shutout and
allowed just seven goals.

Staber, who scored eight goals as a freshman
last season, actually helped UK coach Warren
Lipka recruit the highly regarded Peppers.

“When you have one player come in and
have a good experience, recruiting for that
school becomes easier," Lipka said.

“Carrie told me how great the team and the
coach were, so she definitely affected my deci—
sion to come here,” Peppers said.

Staber also helped Peppers adjust to college
life and soccer in the Southeastern Conference.

“I told her it was going to be hard to come
in and get playing time as a freshman,” Staber
said.

But like Staber before her, Pep ers came to
Lexington and earned a starting jo in her first
season of collegiate soccer.

“It’s impressive to have a freshman come in
and earn a startin role,” Lipka said. “Carrie did
it last ear and i is starting this year. They’re
both oing a great job.”

Both Staber and Peppers admit college soc-
cer is a totally different ame than high school
soccer with the players being faster and more
physical.

But having a little help from a friend helps
both compete at a high level of intensity.

“It’s good to have someone you’ve known
and played soccer with for a long time on your
team,” Staber said. “We encourage each other
throughout the practices and games.”

Being a year wiser, Staber usually is the one
doing the encouraging.

“She’s the first to let me know when I’ve

made a bad pass," Pep rs said.
Lipka speaks hig y of the Lakota soccer
program.

“We are still recruiting at Lakota and in that
area,” said Lipka. Staber and Pep ers are just
two of 10 current players from (ghio on the
Wildcat’s roster.

band to pursue other interests. His
latest project is a band named The
Chrome Cranks. The band is
playing tonight at Area 51, and if
its energy on stage is half of what
it is on its new album, Love in
Erile, everyone attending the show
will get blown away. Literally.

Robert: For about 20 years, you’ve
been in and out of such bands as Sonic
Youth and Pussy Galore. What’s leept
your drive for music going all through
[his time?

Bob: Hmm, I don’t know, it’s
just being a drummer you always
fall in these situations. I just like to
play, basically, and I’ve always
been a big fan of music, especially
what’s been going on in the
underground.

Jabberjaw is a club in Los
Angeles started by a couple of
teen-a ers seeking to create a
venue or bands they would like to
see. After a few years of misman-
agement and financial misfortune,

that played at their club to help
pay off the debt. The short version
of the story is various bands, inde-

fairly well, as Jabberjaw has
released another compilation, this
time with the goal of finding a new
residence for the club. There’s the
same mix of major-label bands and
small indies, all coated with plenty
of noise.

Pure Sweet Hell has some

 

decade, only a little
louder, a little noisier and accept—
ed enough to get on a major label.
This isn’t to knock the spirit of
rock, though. As long as people
are using instruments and some
sort of scale arranged around a
rhythm, there isn’t going to be
much of a revolution in music.
Even with that thought in
mind, the theme of this compila-
tion seems to be retroaction in

Overall, this isn’t a bad album
for a first glimpse at the modern-
day rock ‘n’ roll underbelly. It’s
probably a great collection for
those who scratch the belly daily,
and that’s coming from a cranky
cynic who sleeps on the floor for
fun.
