series' history, though UK has won three of the last four in Commonwealth Stadium. Since 1946, UK is 43-16 in Homecoming games.

’ Coming home for a Dawgfight

Away from Commonwealth Stadium since Sept. 24, the Cats return still looking for their first SEC win.

By Chris Johnson
m: KENTUCKY KERNEL

The most dangerous run-
ning back in the Southeastern
Conference will face the con-
ference’s least dangerous run
defense tomorrow.

Mississippi State’s offense
is led by Jerious Norwood,
who is perhaps the SEC‘s pre-
mier running back. Norwood
is fourth in the conference
with 681 total yards rushing,
one yard behind Arkansas
freshman Darren McFadden.

“He's a home-run hitter,"
freshman linebacker Braxton
Kelley said. “He can go the dis-
tance one play after getting hit
in the backfield the last play."

UK defensive coordinator
Mike Archer took it a step fur-
ther. comparing Norwood to
both Detroit Lions legendary
running back Barry Sanders
and Carnell “Cadillac"
Williams, the fourth pick in
the 2004 NFL drafi. Archer is a
former linebackers coach for
the N FL's Pittsburgh Steelers.

“Like Sanders. (Norwood's)
bottom half can be going one
way while his top half is going
another," Archer said. “I
wouldn’t put him in that cate-
gory yet. but he makes you
hold your breath every time he
touches the ball.

“Like Cadillac Williams,
every time he gets a handoff
you go, ‘Oh. God.‘ ”

Archer said Norwood‘s
biggest strength is his ability
to be going mu speed when he
hits a seam provided by his of-
fensive line.

“He has breakaway speed."
Archer said. “He can hit the
seam, and ham, be in the end
zone in about five seconds.“

with 40. and rushing yards.
with 117. Like Ole Miss’
Michael Spurlock, Conner can

beat a team with his feet and
arm. but he is a bigger threat
when he throws the ball.
Archer said.

UK‘s defense was success-
ful in pressuring the quarter-
back last week against the

Rebels. penetrating into the
backfield several times to send
Spurlock scurrying. But the
evasive quarterback managed
to stop the Cats from record-
ing a sack.

Cat-calls

While Commonwealth Stadium cele-
brates UK‘s homecoming tomorrow. the man
in charge may be conspicuously absent.

Athletic Director Mitch Barnhart hasn‘t
been very visible lately. Sure. you might
catch him strolling around the grass at a
men's or women's soccer game. or saunter-
ing about the hardwood at a
volleyball match.

But Big Blue Madness?
The site of what was for
a few hours at least the
record for attendance at a
basketball practice. wasn‘t
enough to smoke Barnhart
out of his hole. Of course.

chance to rain a few boos

forced to take out its anger on UK President
Lee Todd. Barnhart usually lurks in the tun»
nels.

So don‘t expect him to show too much
face time supporting his football coach. After
all. he rarely does it in public anyway. unless
he's caught coming out of his Memorial Coli-
seum office by television reporters.

Barnhart won‘t really say much on the is-
sue of whether head football coach Rich
Brooks will be back for another season. And

UK drops lawsuit against Ellingsworth

By Sean Rose
M KENTUCKY new

UK dropped its appeal yes-
terday against Fayette Circuit
Court Judge Gary Payne‘s de
cision to award Becky
Ellingsworth the presidency
of Student Government.

“We believe it is time to
move on and let the Student
Government Association ap-
propriately modify its consti-

tution and allow the universi-
ty to clarify its governing reg-
ulations accordingly," UK
general counsel Barbara
Jones said in a statement.

Ellingsworth said while
the news came as a relief, the
legal procedure hadn’t inter-
fered with her presidential
duties.

“I think it’s something
that needed to happen. and
I’m glad that they made that

Celebrating 34 years of independence

decision," Ellingsworth said.
“I've been working with (UK)
for the past six weeks, and I
don't think the appeals
process has hindered me in
working with them this far."
UK’s statement also ex-
plained that the decision was
made because it could take up
to 14 months for the appeal to
be heard. The issue of 80's
independence from the uni-
versity could be handled out-

side the courtroom, the state-
ment says.

“The issue has always
been the process by which the
university and student orga-
nizations are governed,"
Jones said in the statement.
“We are confident we can ad-
dress most of the issues that
were litigated by changing
the Governing Regulations
and the Code of Student Con-
duct to make clear how these

kinds of policy disputes
should be resolved in the fu-
ture."

The March 80 election
started a chain of events cul-

minated in the university fil- ’

ing a lawsuit against
Ellingsworth. In the spring.
Will Nash originally won by
popular vote but was disqual-
ified because of campaign vi-
olations. After the SG
Supreme Court confirmed his

www.kykernel.com

disqualification, Nash ap-
pealed the decision to the
University Appeals Board.
The board sided with Nash,
and in response, Ellingsworth
sued UK in June on the
grounds that the SG Supreme
Court should have the final
say in the matter. Payne ruled
in Ellingsworth‘s favor early
last month.

The open and heated discussion over UK’s pro-
posed governing-regulations changes continued
yesterday when Pat Terrell, UK’s vice president of
student affairs, challenged SG’s response to UK.

“The proposed changes to the Governing Regu-
lations regarding Student Government are just
that — a proposal," Terrell’s statement said. “The
administration is reviewing the proposal and wel-
comes input.

“There are some processes and policies that
may need clarification. Right now, this is a work
in progress.”

Terrell issued the response after SG released a
statement calling the proposal “an obvious power
play to gain control of the only statutorily inde-
pendent student organization on campus."

“This (UK’s proposal) shows a complete lack of
respect for the students they hope to educate and
send out into the Commonwealth as capable, qual-
ified citizens," SG’s statement said.

SG President Becky Ellingsworth said Ter-
rell's latest response didn’t change anything.

“As long as the proposal stands, my original
opinion stands,” Ellingsworth said.

The Student Affairs office released a draft of
proposed governing-regulations changes two
