Greek organizations dive into annual event

By Karen Harllaue
Contributing PVriter

The combination of beach balls,
clear blue water, people in grass skirts
and humidity in the air sounds like a
day at the beach.

Instead, it was an evening at the
Lancaster Aquatic Center.

These are just a sampling of the
sights at the 25th Annual Anchor
Splash, sponsored by Delta Gamma
social sorority and Sigma Phi Epsilon
social fratemity.

The evening was an opportunity for
fraternity and sorority members to
show their spirit, and cheer on their
brothers and sisters through a variety
of water events.

“It’s a great athletic event that
allows Greeks to come together,” said
Gwen Harring, a member of Delta

Gamma.

“This isn’t the typical event where
you get on the stage and perform.
Here you have to literally dive in.”

Harring served as one of the coach-
es for the Beta Theta Pi social fraterni-
ty team.

This entitled her to a trip around
the pool via inner tube, in the contest
known as “Save the Mermaid.”

“Save the Mermaid” was one of the
six water events that comprise Anchor
Splash.

The other events that allow partici-
pants to show off their athletic skills,
included the ZOO—yard medley relay,
the [00-yard sweatshirt relay, the rub-
ber ducky relay, and the 50-yard can—
dle relay.

The swimmers had to deal with dif-
ficulties such as runaway rubber duck-
ies, candles that would not stay lit and

soaked sweatshirts that were difficult
to put on.

Charlotte Imwalle, a member of
Alpha Xi Delta social sorority, partici—
pated in three events.

Imwalle, who was on her high
school swim team, said she “wasn't in
quite as good shape as (she) thought
(she) was or used to be."

The culmination of the evening was
the synchronized swimming event.

In this competition, up to six swim-
mers performed a choreographed rou—
tine to music of their choice.

The winners are chosen by a panel
of judges.

This year’s judges included former
UK football player Moe Williams and
current player Jeff Speedy, as well as
psychology professor Jonathon Gold—
ing.

Miss Anchor Splash competition were
dressed in outfits that ranged from
wild to mild in taste.

Each candidate lead his or her fra-
ternity in cheers, in an effort to show
what group had the most spirit.

Brian Laughlin, a business manage—
ment junior, was the Mr. Anchor
Splash candidate from Phi Gamma
Delta social fraternity.

Dressed in a grass skirt, a lei and a
Hawaiian print shirt, he strolled
around the pool.

“I’ve never been
ridicule myself,” he said.

“I’ll act like a buffoon to make peo~

ple cheer.”

Sigma Chi social fraternity was
named Mr. Anchor Splash and Alpha
Gamma Delta social sorority was
named Miss Anchor Splash.

The winners for the overall compe-
tition were Delta Delta Delta social
sorority and Phi Kappa Psi social fra-
ternity.

Patrick Buchanan seemed to be
the primary focus of attention as
politicos and others interested in
the 1996 Presidential Election
gathered yesterday on the 18th
floor of Patterson Office Tower to
discuss money, race, religion, egos
and superegos.

The discussion was qunsored
by the political science depart-
ment in conjunction with the
Annual Arts and Sciences Week.

The group of panelists includ-
ed Horace Bartilow, Don Gross,
Penny Miller and Mark Peffley,
all professors in the political sci-
ence department and Jeffrey Tal-
bott from the UK Martin School.

Political science department
Chairman Karen Mingst moderat-
ed the anel.
Tal ott be an his colloquy by
speaking agout Buchanan’ s
ances of winning his party’s
nomination.

“If Buchanan can get more
than 25 percent of Republican
voters, than he may turn out to be
a thorn in the side of Republicans

Panelists visited the role of the
media in national elections on
more than one occasion yesterday.

“The media provides more
info-tainment rather than hard
news facts about the candidates,”
Peffley said. Peffley went on to
add that he thinks the presidential
election has shifted from a policy
contest to more of a game.

“The players in the contest are
the candidates and the media gives
the most coverage to who is win-
ning, who is losing, who is gaining
ground and who is losing momen—
tum,” Peffley said.

Miller argued that it would be
difficult for Bob Dole to not win
the Republican nomination.

“He knows how to play the
game —- he’s played it right from
thebe' ' ,"hesaid.

Mi er went on to speak about
Steve Forbes chances at getting
elected.

“On average Forbes spent
$407.50 for the 9,816 votes that
he received in Iowa,” Miller said.
“Just imagine what that
$4,000,000 he spent could do to
help out our deficit.”

President Clinton’ 5 reelection
campaign was also a major topic of
discussion yesterday.

“Bill Clinton has been able to
raise over $2 7,000,000 and Clin—
ton’s campaign is far different
from the other contenders in that
he has only. spent about
$6,000,000,” Miller said.

Bartilow addressed the issue of
race in the election.

“The angry white male must
have gotten happy in 1995,
because we have not heard a lot
about them latel , ”Battilow said.

Bartilow ad ed that if white

males should be raving lunatics.

About 100 people attended the
discussion. Matthew Thomas, 2
Lexington resident, said he
enjoyed the stimulating conversa—
tion rovided by the panelists.

T omas also gave his opinion
of the upcomin election.

“Unless the Bepublican Party is
able to overcome a great deal
between now and the election,
then President Clinton is assured
reelection,” Thomas said. “I don’t
care who wins this race as long as
it’s not Buchanan —— he would be,
however, an entertaining Republi-
can nominee.”

 

Those who are tired of stand—
ing in line to transfer Chemistry
homework are getting a chance
to voice their opinion.

A sign up sheet, inside the
Chemistry-Physics Building
computer lab, asks for better
access to computers, and to the
software found only in that lab.

The sheet also asks for an
increase in the number of com-
puters in, or near, the chemistry-
physics computer lab, and the
placements of software found
only in that lab into other uni»
versity computer labs.

Biology freshman Marsha
Kammerer said he agrees with
the proposal.

“1 think since everyone lives
all around campus, I think that
(the programs) should be avail-
able in every computer lab, ”
Kammerer said.

Since the implementation of
electronic homework for Chem-
istry 105 and 107, there have
been a steady increase of users in
the lab.

“One thing I have noticed
since last spring is that there are

jack Stewart, public services
coordinator of Margaret 1. King
Library microlabs said adding
computers, furniture and soft—
ware to the Chemistry»Physics
lab is expensive. After thc piir~
chase of the equipment. lab
managers would have to connect
it to the campus network costing
between 55000-510111).

“The microlabs budget is
especially tight this year. \Vith
the adding of two microlahs in
Boyd and Dickey Hall it's hard
to purchase the equipment."

Programs like Table Curve.
which is used by many chemistry
students, is only available in the
Chemistry- Physics lab.

Stewart said in order to run
these programs elsewhere on
campus, they would have to buy
licenses for each of the programs
and the licenses are also expen-
sive.

“We have to pick and choose
where these programs are going
to be placed,” Stewart said. “It's
not that we’re insensitive to the
issue. It’s simply a resource
issue.”

Band I0 celebrate new album

By Danielle Dove
Stufl lVriter

Lexington’s music scene
includes a plethora of bands and
a vast spectrum of styles. One of
the bands contributing to this
mixture of diversity is Massey
Ferguson.

Massey Ferguson —— can you
say tractors anyone? — has been
together for two years with
brothersJay and Jim Voskuhl on
bass and guitar and Robbie
Cosenza on the drums.

“Our style is kind of a
demented, noisy pop sound,"
Jim Voskuhl said in a recent
phone interview”

The group’s sound is filtered
from artists like Sonic Youth,
Polvo.Joy Division is apparent in
the intensity and occasional

from a soft hush to uncontrolled
screaming, combined with
snarling drums and venomous
guitars, the band’s sound is filled
with a quantity of immense fer-

“Suckfest 95” the third song
on the album, sounds like an
angst-filled lullaby with a throb-
bing bass, an angry guitar and
drums that could put you into a
hypnotic trance. The lyrics,
while there, are just a tad bit
inaudible.

Massey Ferguson is perform—

Catawampus Universe expanding into town

By Ashlea McMillan

Contributing Writer

Tonight at the Wrocklage,
experience something “different
than the norm,” the meaning
behind Catawampus.

The band, well known for its
soul, funk and reggae sound,
hopes that the show will be suc-
cessful like last week’s, but do find
a new perspective at each show
depending on how the audience
reacts.

“I like to play at the Wrocklage
because of the intimacy with the
crowd," said Tripp Bratton,
drummer and percussionist, in a
phone interview.

Also coming up for Catawam-
pus Universe is the release of their
new album, Golden Monkey Firt.
On it they are continuing the
group’s dance-oriented style with
smooth rhythms.

They hope it will be released

,. ,nmw”. -

on April 3, the day of the lunar
eclipse. Joel Crisp, the lead singer
said: “It may happen later, on the
17th, on the solar eclipse, depend-
ing on how the wind blows.” But,
both are good luck days for the
band. Its new album, Tripp says,
“Sounds more danceable, and Ste-
vie Wonderish.”

If anyone is wondering, their
additional name “Universe” was
made to distinguish their band
from two others with the same
name. They said that they like the
added “Universe”, feeling that it
has a broadened meaning and
makes the name twice as distinc-
tive. ‘

Crisp, the lead singer, began
the idea behind Catawampus in
the ’805. His first band, Red Fly
Nation became very popular in
Lexington. Three of the other
members, Tim Welch, Dave Fer-
ris and Tripp Bratton played
together in another Lexington

- >~c~--.—.~- .

band called Lilypons.

Bratton said that Lilypons
played instrumental funk and jazz
with a Miles Davis influence and
they switched instruments with
each other when they felt they
were getting too good on one.
This tradition continues with
members ofCU.

Even though the band sounds
very unified as Catawampus Uni-
verse, the members all believe
their own personal influences
come through in CU. Some of
Bratton’s are: Parliament, Al
Green, Marvin Gaye, jazz and
even some pop-rock. Ferris feels
more of an Indian-African influ-
ence which he showed in Red Fly
Nation.

“I started listening to more
Eastern music when I spent time
in Ghana," Ferris said. “I liked
their musical de th and quality
and thought it nny that they
loved American pop-rock like

MichaelJackson, because some of
the other countries’ music is so
timeless.”

Also, they love the artist for-
merly known as Prince. Occasion-
ally one will hear Joel speak some
lyrics of the artist, like “IfI Was
Your Girlfriend” off of Sign ofthe
Timer.

There are strong Eastern Ken-
tucky roots for CU and all have
lived in Lexington for at least 10
years, except for Steve Cherry, the
bass player.

Something new for the band is
its web site, with stats on the band,
psychedelic graphics and quotes
from the members. Its address is:
http://www.rockweb.com/bands/c
atawampus.

After today at the VVrocklage,
CU will be taking off from Lex-
ington to San Francisco, Califor—
nia to start playing some dates
after the release of Golden Monkey
Fit-t.

Hill, a 6-foot-7, 275-pound

defense time and time again as the
Gators attempted to work the shot

The Florida center’s dominat—

Rick Pitino to re~examine his
squad’s interior defense. The
result: a swarming defense that
doubles down on the post in an
attempt to trap. The adjustments

opposing big men from Alabama’s
Roy Rogers to Tennessee's Steve
