2. The People. We think
we're pretty cool. Of
course, we may be a
little biased.

3. You Learn More Here
Than You Do in Class.
Nothing could be
more real than
writing a story,
building an ad or
creating a graphic on
deadline, then seeing
it in the paper the
very next day.

4. Conventions. Last
year Chicago, this
year Kansas City,
next year maybe the
WORLD!

5. It Looks Good. Our
former editor
threatens us with
physical harm if we
say, “It looks better
than last year." But
it looks pretty cool.

6. Sometimes We Watch
The Price Is Ridtt.
What else would you
be doing on a

1. Managing Editor Chris
Campbell, the

8. Weekly KEGs. You
can't get them
anywhere else on
campus.

9. Trips. To the
conventions. Wait,
that is, like, number
four. Guess that one
was kind of dumb.

Taking care of her own: To UK students,
Marnie Floyd is more than an attendant

By Regina Prater

Mamie Floyd strokes her
adopted alley cat with one
hand. and her other hand is
full of dollar bills.

She sits barefoot on the
front porch of a little blue shed
she calls her office. wearing a
UK baseball cap and cut off
blue jeans.

“Hey baby. how are you
today?" she calls out to a stu:
dent who drives into Comer’s

parking lot on Scott Street.
She jumps from her chair to
chat with the student as she
collects $2.

Floyd has worked at Com-
er's as a cook and a parking
lot attendant for the last 37
years.

Floyd works from 7:30
am. until 6 pm. parking cars.
never leaving until all of her
customers have left the lot.
She said it‘s too dangerous for
female students to retrieve
their cars alone after dark. be
cause there‘s a railroad track

close to the parking lot. She
also parks students in the
front of the lot when she
knows they have late after-
noon classes.

“I stay to get all my girls
out before it gets dark." Floyd
said.

Even in the winter, stu-
dents find Floyd out on the
porch of the shed.

"I like to stay outside as
much as possible." she said.
“The students bring me gloves
to keep warm. They cut the
tops of the ﬁngers out of the
gloves so I can hold and count
the money.“

Floyd doesn't have a car.

away on Colfax Street. Last
winter when Lexington had 18
inches of snow. Floyd became
trapped in the snow walking
home from work.

“I got real scared when I
was stuck. I just prayed for a
while. Finally. I got enough
energy to dig myself out."
Floyd said.

This incident didn‘t deter
her spirits: she said the good

Kenyans healing after bombing

By Teresa Nafvorsaa
IOWA STATE DAILY

AMES. Iowa In the
country of Kenya. the national
motto is “Harambee.” mean-
ing “to pull together," This
motto has gained new signifi-
cance after the US. Embassy
bombing in Nairobi on Aug. 7.

Now. nearly a month after
the bombings in Kenya and
Tanzania. members of the
Kenyan Community at Iowa
State are “pulling together" to
send aid to the many Kenyans
who were injured by the
bomb.

“The bomb blast has
made a good story in the
news. but for a lot of us. it has
affected us personally." said
Fulbert Namwamba. gradu-
ate student in agricultural
systems technology.

The Kenyan Community

began its effort to help the
bomb victims about a week af-
ter the bombings. Members of
the group include Kenyan stu-
dents. faculty. staff and
friends.

Namwamba said the group
is trying to focus local atten»
tion more on the physical suf-
fering caused by the bombing
and less on the political issues.

"The government effort
will help with rebuilding. but
the human tragedy is a more
personal issue." Namwamba
said. “They are easy to forget.
so we are trying to get their
plight into the news."

More than 250 people were
killed by the bombing of the
US. Embassy in Kenya. in-
cluding 12 Americans. Anoth»
er 5000 people were injured.
The majority of those injured
were Kenyans. Namwamba
said Kenyans were affected by
the bombing in different ways.

Some of those injured are now
permanently blind. Others are
awaiting transport to other
countries for surgeries that
can be performed only by spe-
cialists.

Most Kenyans do not have
medical insurance. Namwam-
ba said. so any outside aid re-
ceived by injured persons can
be used to pay for their special
health needs.

In addition. the group is
trying to raise money for the
families of the people who
were killed by the bomb.

The Kenyan Community
is currently working with the
Story County Red Cross to
make sure the aid will arrive
in Kenya and be distributed to
the people in need.

Namwamba said the Red
(‘ross has helped Kenyans
from the beginning and is still
in touch with every family af-
fected by the bombing.

Dr. Ebby Luvaga. academ-
ic adviser in the economics dev
partment and member of the
Kenyan Community. said the
group has raised about $700.

“Although [the amount]
seems like a lot. it is still very
insignificant compared to the
great need." Luvaga said.

The Story (‘ounty Red
(Tross is now asking people
who want to help to give cash
donations and request that the
donations be given to the
bombing victims in Kenya.

Namwamba said many
other countries have donated
medical supplies. food and
clothing to Kenya. but cash
donations are still needed to
help people with their medical
expenses.

“We feel that being mem-
bers of a community. we are
all in this together." Namwam-
ba said. "We are trying to go
beyond reading a story.“

Enough is enough: Folks in
off-campus neighborhoods

With students forced to take their par-
ties oif campus because of the new dry-cam-
pus policy. residents in the Aylesford
neighborhood are complaining of littering.
loud music and destruction of property.

“Students have no respect for private
property." said Lisa Johnson. a resident of
the Aylesford neighborhood,

She said she has seen beer cans litter—
ing residents' yards. broken fences and
even students urinating in nearby Transyl»

students broke part of a picket fence and
left garbage in the front yard.

She said she has complained .. 4 ~ stir
dents about their behavior. but they just ig-
nored her.

Johnson said she was surprised to see
college students act that way. “I expect 21-
and 22-year-olds to behave as responsible
adults." she said.

Now she is calling on others for help

“I think University ofﬁCials should help
Lexington Police and community leaders in
resolving the problem.“ Johnson said.

Nelson French. a minister who lives on
Aylesford Place. said he awoke last Mon
day night to bright red. white anti blue

is to stay the course. but pay your taxes and your

“There aren’t any painless solutions,” he told
students at Moscow State University of Interna-
tional Relations Tuesday.

Clinton's advice to Yeltsin carries the weight
of the American president’s own political and
personal woes. Beyond attempting to stiffen the
Russian leader’s resolve it came with no offer of
specific help.

Together they are taking the kind of steps
that marked past summits to control nuclear
arms. Two agreements are to be signed. One
aims to reduce US. and Russian arsenals of plu-

UM refuses admission to irosli

CLINTON TOWNSHIP. Mich. -— The Univer-
sity of Michigan has refused to let a freshman ace
cused of rape attend school. a move that was crit-
icized by the teen-ager's lawyer.

“I believe they have forgotten the presump-
tion of innocence," lawyer William Bufalino II
said.

Daniel Granger. 18. class president of his
1998 graduating class at Grosse Pointe North
High School, was ordered in July to stand trial
on charges of statutory rape along with three of
his classmates.

The four are charged with having sex with
14-year-old girls who said they were given al-
cohol by the boys. Statutory rape does not re-
quire proof of force or coercion, only that the
girls were under the age of consent at the time.

Granger said he was “greatly disappointed“
about the decision.

“This is a sad day for me as well as my fami-
ly." he said. “Personally. this one is a pretty
tough pill to swallow.“

The teen had already been accepted as a
freshman when he was informed by letter last
month that a hearing was to be held on whether
his admission should be suspended.

The letter stated that the university’s stu-
dent code of conduct allows ofﬁcials to suspend
a student on an emergency basis if they deter
mine the student‘s conduct poses an immediate
threat.

Student alleges sex harassment

LOUISVILLE —— A 17-yearold girl, testifying
before a federal jury, said she was driven out of
the Spencer County public schools three years
ago by sexual harassment and taunts about her
national origin.

Alma McGowan, whose mother is an immi-
grant from Germany, told the jury that she suf-
fered from the time she was 11 until she left the
system at 15.

McGowan and another student. Steven
Vance, 18, filed a lawsuit in July 1996, saying
their civil rights and rights under Title IX were
violated. They are asking for unspecified com-
pensation.

Vance. who suffers from a form of autism
and is being treated in Pennsylvania, testiﬁed via
a videotaped deposition Tuesday.

tomers also comes the iii-
crease of “drive-off" theft.
During the summer. he said,
the station only had four dri-
ve-offs. Last Thursday alone
there were three. which Ap-
plegate blames on “scheming
students."

Music education major
Stephanie White has wit-
nessed Lexington‘s growth
her entire life.

“A little development is
good." White said. “but Lexing-
ton doesn‘t have to be a big city.
It needs to stay the way it is."

White works at Fayette
Mall and says when students
are back in Lexington for the
fall semester. the commute to
work takes her twice as long.

"it's an annoyance." she
said.

White said she thinks
some of the problem lies not
only with Lexington's ever-
growing population. but with
shoppers and workers from
the metro area driving into
Lexington who are not accus»
tomed to heavier trafﬁc.

“You know there's a prob-

lem when these little towns
start bringing school buses to
the mall,” White said.

Kay Phillips is a staff as-
sistant at Regulatory Services.
Throughout her 20-year ca-
reer at UK, she has seen traf-
ﬁc increase as both Lexington
and the campus grow.

“I have to wait in traffic
much more when school is
back in session. but now I
kind of expect it," Phillips
said.

When Phillips began
working at UK. she worked at
the Agriculture Experiment
Station Building. which is
now Scovell Hall.

“Trafﬁc and parking were
horrible then," she said.

Regulatory Services is
now at the corner of Alumni
Drive and Shawneetown
Road, and has its own desig-
nated parking lot, which
“makes things much easier,“
Phillips said.

But because of the
growth and development that
continues. “it will only get
worse,“ White said.

Despite playing U of
L the last four years in a
row. UK‘s defense has
some reacquainting to do.

New head coach
John L. Smith brought
six assistant coaches
with him when he made
the move from Utah State
to Louisville this year. so
UK's defensive unit is
spending a lot of time in
the video vault studying
Utah State‘s offensive
tendencies.

“It's the same as our
offense in a lot of ways."
free safety Willie Gary
said. "and we face our of-
fense everyday."

Defensive coordina-
tor Mike Major says the
defense has focused a lot
on the fact that Smith‘s
old teams often use a one
back. three wide receiver
offense. But. just like UK.
it's not the same thing on

every down.

"That could be a
tight end and two
flankers. a ﬂanker and a
split end. or (Smith's)
even left the back field
empty and used five re-
ceivers." Major said.
“We've prepared for all
of that."

After all of their
video study ses
sions. the defen«
sive coaches and
players say they
don't expect to see
a lot of surprises.
What they will
likely see. though.
is passing. A lot of
passing.

With a typical
formation of just
one man in the
backﬁeld. U of L is
likely to keep its
quarterback, Chris Red-
man. pretty busy. Despite
that. the main focus. says
Major and the defensive
line. for this Saturday
and the rest of the year is
stopping the ground
game.

"We have really dedi~
cated ourselves this year

to stopping the rush.“
Major said.

The defensive line
thinks a lot of the game
rests on their shoulders.
but not because of a lack
of confidence in the
team‘s corner or defen-
sive backs.

“We feel the key to
winning this game is go-

“It’s the same as our “We
offense in a lot of ways,
and we face our offense

everyday.”

- Willie Gary, free safety

ing to be the defensive
line‘s play." defensive
tackle Marvin Major
said. "We know we have
to stay low and come off
the ball fast.

"We know they have
a good quarterback. but
we have good DB‘s (de-
fensive backs) that match

up well with their wide
receivers.”

For the Cats. their
most important match up
is on Ibn Green. After
moving to the tight end
position last year. Green
was the top tight end in
the country in receptions
(55), receiving yards (731)
and touchdowns (eight).
Two of those touchdowns
came against the Cats in
last year‘s season opener.

So. not all the pres-
sure is on the defensive

line.
know
they‘re going to
pass a lot to
their tight end,
so we‘re going
to focus on him
lot," line-
backer Jeff
Snedegar said.
So goes the
problems when
seeing a coach
and his offense
for the first
time. Stop the run. Stop
the pass. Stop the run
and the pass.

“They have a wide
open attack." Major said.
"They throw the ball at
any time. and they run a
lot of trick stuff like re-
verses and throwback
screens."

Braden wins UK
volleyball debut

Killing time: Wildcat offense scores big hits
in opening-game win against Morehead State

By Dave German

STA" WRITER

Katie Eiserman was killin'
em. Literally.

The junior had 11 kills to
help UK spank the Eagles of
Morehead State Tuesday night.
She had five kills in the final
game.

In the first game of the sea»
son the Wildcats wasted no
time chalking up a victory at
Memorial Coliseum.

UK gave first-year coach
Jona Braden her ﬁrst win. 15-7.
15-9.15»5.

Is this pounding a sign for
the rest of the season?

"We have a lot to work on
this season." outside hitter Eis-
erman said. “But we are older
and more mature this season.“

So how did the Cats cele-
brate their season-opening win?
They took their shoes off.

“That’s something we do af-
ter every game we win." junior
outside hitter Jennie Reed said.
“If we lose we head straight to
the locker room."

Coach Braden kept her
shoes on. but the win helped
take a load off.

Braden was an associate

Boer during the 1991-1993 sea-
son.

“Our goal was to stay fo-
cused and take the match one
point at time." Braden said.
“It‘s hard to know what to ex-
pect. I don't care if we win 16-14
or 150."

Braden wasn't the only
coach beginning a new era.
Tuesday night was Morehead
State coach Mike Swan‘s first
game as well.

The difference was Swan
had a not-sowarm welcome to
college volleyball.

UK has seven players 6 feet
or taller. and Morehead State
has nobody over 5-foot—ll inch-
es.

The Cats outsblocked the
Eagles 7-1.

The Eagles didn‘t record a
block until the third and final
game.

“Their size killed us. They
passed better and we had no
serve." Swan said. “I was happy
that our team played with de-
sire."

Morehead State's Lauren
Mackey led the Eagle effort
with a whopping 13 kills and a
.258 hitting percentage. all to no
avail.

No matter where Morehead

turned. it kept getting the same
smothering attack from a deep
UK squad.

Wildcat senior outside hit-
ter LaTanya Webb showed she
was a force to be reckoned with.
She had nine kills and nine digs
in the contest.

“It just feels good to play
someone else." outside hitter
Webb said.

UK junior setter Terri
Crabb recorded a match-high 29
assists.

Last time these two teams
met. Morehead won in the sea-
son opener 15-7. 1614. 15-10 in
the Kentucky State Challenge.

The Wildcats look to keep
their hot hand when they travel
to Purdue this weekend for a
two-game invitational. Should
they win. it would be the UK's
500th victory.

UK's next home match will
be Sept. 15. against the Western
Kentucky Hilltoppers. 7 pm. at
Memorial Coliseum.

Freshmen Whitney Sample
and Meghan Stout got playing
time in the season opener.
Stout. a 5-9 outside hitter
recorded six digs.

She recorded a match-high
35 kills in the 1998 Blue/White
scrimmage.

Sample was named 1997
District Outstanding Setter and
was a member of the 1996 Texas
State 5A Championship team.
