People make l/VRFL discs g0 roaml

By Ann Mullins

“(iood afternoon. lt‘s l3 noon
here at \VRH. Lexington. My
name is Lindsay and it‘s titite for
the midday news. Topping
natiottal headlines ..."

So begins a typical newscast for
News Director Lindsay Hoffman
at [K's radio station \VRFL
(SKI-ICU).

Lip until August 1996. the sta—
tion did not have a formal news
program. 'l'hat changed when
management asked for volunteers
to start one.

llofftttait piped tip. After all.
the only news disc jockeys read
were public service announce-
ments attd weather reports.

Before coming to L'K. Hoff—
ittatt. art l‘idgewood. Ky. native.
knew she wanted to work at
“'Rl’l“ \Vhile visiting her older
brother, who was DJ ofa general
forntat show at the tiitte. she knew
it would be a great organization to
get involved itt.

“I wanted to work behind the
scenes." llofftttan says. “not

behind the microphone."

After accepting the news direc-
tor iob. Hoffman. then a psychol—
ogy major. dedicated herself to
formatting an alternative news
program. She switched to journal-
ism after realizing this was what
she wanted to do.

journalism ittnior Becky Bruce
was the first of about N) recruits
Hoffman brought into the station.
As anchor and public service
announcement director. Bruce
reports the news aitd any major hap—
penings going on around campus.

A favorite part of her job is
being able to get the news first.
like reading about the_loneslioro.
Ark.. accident froitt the Associated
Press wire minutes after it hapu
pened.

For Brtice. getting news early
froitt the wire involves a lot of
ltick. She received sttow bulletins
to [K after last winter's snow
storm and also read the ()J. Simp-
son verdict as it was happening.

Bruce's love of radio news
started early. As a child. she
reported neighborhood news on
posterboard iit her south Lexing-

ton neighborhood. Later she par»
ticipated in the radio broadcast
category with her high school
speech team.

She thinks a lot of broadcast
anchors sensationalize news. She

likes the smooth. low key stvle of

Peter jennings and Sue \Vylie’s
way of hitting the issues that are
important to people.

Bruce is enthusiastic when she
talks about \VRI’L aitd her work
there.

“lfl had a choice between this
job and making money, then I‘d

rather do this." Bruce said. “But of

course this doesn't pay my bills."

llockeltttan worked for the Ken-

“I‘ve been concerned (about

Newton said. "I‘ve taken a lead

Newton is exactly what the board needs. said
Rena \'icini. L'K assistant athletics director.

“'l'hey w antcd .t man who has proven through
his efforts that he sees compulsive gambling as a
serious problem. as an illness. which obviously he
has." Vicim said.

After the .-\ri/ona State and Northwestern \io~

Newton said.

"I plan to find otit what‘s going on oit taiiipus is
far as students go. 'lihat‘s an illegal acti\it_\. and we
need to know how widespread it is." he said. “Do
w e have student bookies. student runners? It's not
going to be some mobster that gets to the player.
it‘s going to be .i student."

(itillllt'll Board Chairman Dennis Boyd said iii a
news release. “( LAI. Newton is respected national-
ly for many reasons. btit he was asked to saw e oit
this board because of his earnest and successful
efforts iit combating compulsive gambling par-
ticularly sports betting , nationwide."

In the last two years. the [K Athletics Depart

Newton said.

“It's a scary thing." Newton said. “It's going on

Btit after the L'K soft—

beloved Bullt ogs in a pair
of wins last weekend, Alli~

Allison, a L'K media

softball team's ptiblicist.
is a
AISL'. During a recent
road trip with the [K
team, Allison told several
of the players about a
playful bet he had made
with some Starkville
friends two years ago.

\\'hile an undergradu-
ate at State, Allison agreed
to shave his head if the
AISL‘ men‘s basketball
team defeated L'K .it the

the story, L'K catcher Sarah

make the saute bet for the

1906 graduate of

l'K-AISL‘ softball series.

“And lilie players) are going

thing like that."

'l‘liey did. He agreed.

“I knew (L'K) could
beat Mississippi State. btit
I thought it would be a

“After the game, every—

said. “In his defense. (Alli—

about it. \Vhen we got back

really got after it.
“I thought he might

want to leaie a little bit of

something, btit he‘s as bald

L'K women‘s golfer Jenny
l)ugan has an unofficial South—
eastern Conference title to defend
’l‘hursday in Birmingham. Ala.

l)ugan can heave a pitching
wedge with the best oftheiii and is
the reigning golf cltib throwing
champion.

Before the SISC women's golf

championships each year, a lightv
hearted club-throwing contest is
held with all the Sl‘iC schools.
l)ugan represented [K with pride
last year when she chucked the club
'a whopping i3 yards. llcr closest
competitor was 8 l/.’ yards behind.

“She just hocked that thing,"
said teammate llcatlier Kraus.

“It's all in the technique because if

you hold on to it too long then it
goes way left."

’I be fine art ofgolf club thrt )wiiig

L'K begins tournament play on
Friday with a probable chance to
advance to the NCAA Regionals iii
early .\lay. (leorgia and l.Sl' are
the favorites entering Birmingham
but L'K thinks top five is realistic.

“If four people have rounds in
the Tlis, we‘ll be in the top halfof
the field." said seniotglulie l’almei'.
u'l‘hat's realistic. 'l‘hat .i couple of
hogeys and no doubles or triples
(liogeys).“

\\'hen talking about the women‘s
golf team it‘s nearly impossible to
avoid the topic of [K men's basket
ball. Basketball seems to follow the
golfers wherever they go. Or better
yet. they follow basketball.

raise his arms and celebrate a bit.

The next day l.oy decided to
act like .\ladsen after every birdie.

“I had enough ofhiiii so I final—

after birdie in honor of the Cats,”
.\laddog l.oy said. “lfl remember
right I had quite a few birdies that
day. My teammates just say ‘( )h,
there goes Aladdog again.m

Connection No. 3: The UK
men's basketball team was referred
to as the “Comeback Cats" because
of their ability to come back from
deficits. Like the basketball team
the L‘K women's golf team is tak-
ing the same slogan with 'l‘-shirts.

It seems the Cats start their tour—
naments on a not—so-high note btit
finish off strong. That was the story
in L'K’s most recent tournament in
(ireensboro. L'K finished iii 12th
btit it could have been worse.

“The negative part was we start-
ed so slow we couldn‘t dig our-
selves otit of the hole," said fiead
coach Bettie l.oii Evans. “The pos-
itive thing was we got better every-
day. I think we had the third lowest
score in the field on the last day.
'lliat only gives its some confi-
dence going into the Sl‘iCs."

Assuming the \Vildcats have a
fair weekend in Birtiiinghain. the
(Iais will advance to the NCAA
Regionals in Durham, N.C., during
the first week of .\lay where they‘re
friends from North Carolina will be
waiting. The Cats are also looking
to make some more friends.

“Duke is gonna be there too,"
l)ugan said. “\Ve're thinking
about getting l)uke hats and cross-
ing otit the l) and l“. to show L'K."

By Jonathan Prasse
Contributing lVrnrr

Ellyn lhrig is a unique delivery
driver for Papa John’s pizza.

The boxes she picks up at the
chain's outlet near Paul Laurence
Dunbar High School are always
empty.

And if you hang around Papa
john's long enough, you'll even
see her shuttling back with her
empty cartons, now neatly folded,
lids closed, flaps tucked in — and
still no pizza inside.

lhrig, a master’s student spe—
cializing in community—based
instruction, uses the pizza boxes to
help students at the Lexington
high school who have severe and
profound disabilities.

The students are )art of a pro-
gram designed to reduce their dis—

ruptive behaviors, an important
factor for success in the work-
place.

lhrig said her students enjoyed
the task.

“Putting pizza boxes together
was a real job," she said. “They
liked it."

Particularly rewarding to lhrig
was the improvement for one ofher
students, who showed si rnificant
reductions in disru )tive behaviors.

lhrig, alon r wit other students,
teachers and aculty, presented her
findings last Tuesday at Research
Night ")8, a reception and research
presentation hosted by the College
of l‘iducation's Department ofSpe—
cial l".ducation and Rehabilitation
Counseling. The presentation was
part of the college's 75th anniver—
sary celebration.

At the Kim

reception,

(i‘oodlett. another master's stu-
dentin the department, explained
how she helped students with a
different kind of box —— one that
traps many middle schoolers:
homeWork assignments.

W'orkin ' at King Middle School
in llarrrrrlsburg, Ky., (ioodlett
found that offering students a
choice of homework options
increased their homework comple-
tion rates as well as their accuracy.

Fifth-grade students involved
in her study could choose between
textbook assignments, a work-
sheet, or a student contract where
the students picked the assign-
ment they would complete.

The high success rate with stu-
dents in (ioodlett's study suggests
that, when it comes to honieWork,

dMPu
Student focuses on community learning

“It was easy to implement,"
Goodlett said of her program.

Instead of working directly
with students as Ihrig and
(ioodlett did, master's student
Susan He worked with teachers.

Hey esigned a comparison
study that tracked the number of
positive and negative statements
made by teachers while in the pro-
cess of teaching.

She worked with teachers in
Nelson County schools. Her study
included a certified special educa-
tion teacher in emotional and
behavioral disorders, a certified
physical education teacher and an
instructional assistant with two
years of special education training.

The two teachers and instruc—
tional assistant filled their pockets
with dimes and paper clips. When

themselves making a positive
statement, they moved a dime
from one pocket to another.
\Vhen they made a negative state—
ment, they moved a paper clip.

Hey observed lessons for [5
minutes and kept her own tally of
the teachers’ statements.

At the end of the class period,
Hey compared her tally with the
number of dimes and paper clips
in the teachersy pockets. Results
were so positive, Hey approached
the superintendent in her district
to suggest training in verbal praise
for other interested teachers.

By helping teachers monitor
their own statements while teach‘
ing, fley thinks student perfor-
mance is enhanced.

“I think you'd see a reduction
in behavior problems in the class—
