Year-long search yields new chief

By Megan Boehnke
m: kENTUCKY mun

After more than a year without
a permanent police chief, UK an-
nounced its choice yesterday.

McDonald Vick, the chief of po-
lice at North Carolina Central Uni-
versity. will relieve interim police
chief Kevin Franklin in mid-
March.

“Chief Vick has the right blend
of experience and leadership to

lead this institu-

tion’s safety efforts

as we continue

down this path,"

UK President Lee

Todd said.
Vick led the 49-

member depart-

ment at NCCU for

10 years and has a

bachelor’s and

master’s degree in criminal justice.
“I was looking for a campus in

my senior years that was pro-secu-
rity, looking to invest in its police
department and move forward to
the future," Vick said of why he
was interested in the position.
“They have implemented the CATS
program, they’ve put the comput-
ers in, they‘ve reorganized the de-
partment — and this department is
on the move."

The position had been vacant
for more than a year after former
UK Police Chief Fred Otto III re-

signed in November 2004, one
month after he was reprimanded
for having a UK police employee
help him with coursework for his
doctoral degree at Eastern Ken-
tucky University.

Associate Vice President of
Campus Services and Director of
Public Safety Ken Clevidence, who
oversaw the police chief search,
managed the position himself for
nine months before naming
Franklin as the interim police

chief last July.

“Anytime you go through a
transition, you have the opportuni.
ty to find the best in whatever you
want to do,” Todd said.

In order to find the best candi-
date, UK contracted Waters-Oldani
to help recruit candidates. The
company posted the job on its Web
site and marketed the job to candi~

UK can help some set up temporary
accounts to get “critical" mail

By Tim Wiseman
m: KENTUCKY mm

After three days of Internet
headaches, UK continues to work to re-
open its U-Connect System and help some
users obtain “critical" email.

Many of the 50,000 accounts in the U-
Connect System w the school’s online sys-
tem for e-mail m began experiencing
problems Monday afternoon. and as of
last night. many users were still unable to
log in.

UK has worked closely with software
company Novell to find the glitch in the
password authentication process. and
some progress has been made. said Doyle
Friskney UK's chief technology officer

“We've increased the priority. and
we‘re just going to continue to focus on
it." he said.

UK has restored access to some sys-
tems that use the U-Connect ID and pass-
word. such as wireless access. SWEB and
student lockers, he said.

For those in a “critical situation,"
Friskney said UK could create temporary
accounts so they can see their mail. To re
quest such an account. call the UK Cus-
tomer Service Center at 257~1300.

Since the problem lies in the log-in
process, users‘ mail is safe -— they just
cannot get to it.

“We’ve got some corruption."
Friskney told The Kernel Tuesday. “There
is something inside the directory that is
not correct. We just have to identify and
correct it."

The threeday wait. thought. has some
growing increasingly frustrated.

“I‘ve been trying to check it for three
days, and it doesn‘t work." said Alex Mor-
ris. a classics sophomore. “None of my
messages get to me. Teachers complain
that they can't contact us. and we can’t
contact them."

Cats sweep double dip to open season

By Matt McGuire
THE xtnrucrv mm

The UK men’s tennis
team lived up to its No. 19
national ranking yesterday
by beating Austin Peay and
Butler in a dominant fash-
ion.

First on the menu for
the Cats was an afternoon
match-up with Austin Peay,
and despite having a young
lineup, the Cats won easily
6-1.

UK then followed by giv-
ing a similar performance
with its more experienced
lineup in defeating Butler
4-1.

“I think everyone did
well,” said freshman Bruno
Agostinelli. UK‘s top
ranked player. “The young
guys pulled through."

After dropping a point
early on to Austin Peay in
the doubles contest. the
Cats took control by win-
ning their remaining sin-
gles matches. The slow
start in doubles against
Austin Peay gave the Cats
the motivation they needed
to finish strong.

“As a team. we got
pumped up." Agostinelli
said.

The Cats kept their in-
tensity level high against
Butler later in the day. In
the second half of the dou-
ble-header, UK pulled out
another strong perfor-
mance. winning the dou~
bles point and all but one of
the singles.

“We didn't give them
any breathing room," se-
nior Nate Emge said of the
team‘s performance
against the Bulldogs. “This
morning we seemed a little
slow. But then things
picked up.”

Emge’s singles win
sealed UK‘s win against
Butler. After playing a tight
match. he punctuated his
victory with a yell of tri-
umph as he was finally
able to pull out a winning

set and seal the deal.

Playing in Florida last
week. the Cats had a simi-
lar performance, playing in
the South Florida Invita-
tional and defeating both
South Florida and Florida
A&M.

“We got some practice
and rest in Florida before
this match." Emge said.

“This one gets the fight cir-
culating in the blood."

The Cats said that yes-
terday’s performance will
give them confidence to
play No. 61 Ohio State on
Sunday.

“This was a good
chance to get an early win
that‘ll help us later in the
year," said senior Alex
Hume. who is ranked No.

UK lands nation’s top linebacker

Cats reel in a total of 34 recruits in a class ranked in the top 40 by ESPN.com

By Chris Johnson
mmnmm

Micah Johnson, rated by
ESPN.com as the nation’s top
inside linebacker prospect,
raised the profile of UK’s re
cruiting class in more ways
than one.

The Ft. Campbell, Ky,
product signed a national let-
ter of intent with the Cats,
but not before he had con-
vinced other jewels, including
defensive end Josh Minton
and defensive tackle Covey Pe
ters, to come with him to Lex-
ington.

“I’ve had other guys try to
influence recruits, but never
as demonstratively as Micah,"
said UK head coach Rich
Brooks. “He didn’t want to be
the only top recruit he
wanted to get us some help
down here."

In an overstuffed class of
34 players, 24 of whom are eli-
gible for scholarships this sea-
son, Johnson, Minton, Peters
and a pair of national Top100
quarterbacks topped the list,
followed by several defensive
prospects and running backs.

Johnson, who played run-
ning back in addition to line-
backer in high school, has
jaw-dropping statistics that
include a twoseason total of
2,543 rushing yards, 46 touch-
downs and 293 tackles for Ft.
Campbell High School.

“He can be a stand-up guy
(play a non-line position) at
275 (pounds),” Brooks said of
the reigning Kentucky Mr.
Football. ”He walked onto our
practice field as a junior (in
high school), and I thought he
was an NFL guy.”

Johnson measures afoot-
2. 255 pounds and runs a 40
yard dash in 4.7 seconds. Ri-
vals.com and SuperPrep. out-
lets that concentrate on col-
lege basketball and football
recruiting. rated Johnson as
the No. 1 prospect in Ken-
tucky and in the top four de-
fensive line prospects in
America.

Minton, a 6foot-3, 250
pound defensive lineman
from Somerset, Ky., is separat-
ed from the rest by “a great
motor," Brooks said. “He
plays hard from snap to whis-
tle."

A finalist for Mr. Football.
Minton totaled 89 tackles—27
for loss—and 11 sacks last sea-
son when he was named the
N0. 5 prospect in the state by
Rivalscom.

Peters may have given the
coaching staff the biggest
worry of the entire class. Af-
ter visiting Ohio State and
Michigan the last two week-
ends, the (Moot-3. 278-pound
defensive tackle from
Louisville's Central High
School decided on the Cats.

“He has the physical size
to be a player next year,"
Brooks said. “We certainly
went through the whole (re-

cruiting) process with him
we were semi-confident. and
we were excited to get the
phone call late last night."

The defensive line was the
crown jewel of a recruiting
class that many analysts are
calling the best one to arrive in
Lexington in recent memory

“We have an outstanding
group of defensive linemen
this year,” Brooks said.
“They’re SEC-type players
that will get some rotation go
ing to keep the players fresh.
so they don’t get beat in the
fourth quarter.”

Brooks and his staff expe
rienced a fairly fortunate
signing day, considering that
all the prospects they thought
would sign coming into yes-
terday ended up doing so.

“We got all the guys com-
mitted and we got the jelly
doughnut in Corey Peters,"
Brooks said.

In addition to the three de
fensiveline standouts, Brooks
and his staff picked up two
nationally rated quarterback
prospects in Canton. Ohio,
signal-caller Mike Hartline
(ranked in the nation’s top 15)
and Henderson County, Ky.,
product Will Fidler (No. 94).

“We liked what we saw
about their quick releases,”
said Ron Caragher, UK’s run-
ning backs coach and recruit-
ing coordinator. “Fidler can
throw on the run on the men-
ey, and Hartline‘s a big kid."

“We wanted to sign two
quarterbacks last year and
didn‘t," Brooks said. “Since
I’ve been here. we didn’t have
choices at quarterback. Now
we have choices I‘m excited
to have a quarterback roster
that looks like an SEC quar-
terback roster. instead of one
semi-experienced guy and a
freshman, then a bunch of
walk-ens."

Brooks seemed excited
about having a team that had
the size on the depth chart to
match its conference competi-
tion.

“Our defensive line now
has more of the stature of an
SEC defensive line,” Brooks
said. “Six-three, six-four. six-
five We’ve got guys on the
roster that look more like SEC
football players.“

Another deep position in
the 2006 class is running back.
The biggest signee was
Demetrius Goode, a back
from the Cat factory of La-
Grange, Ga. hometown of
current Cat linebackers Wes-
ley Woodyard and Braxton
Kelley. as well as wide receiv-
er DeMoreo Ford.

Goode. who runs a 4.5 40-
yard dash and is ranked the
eighth-best back in the nation
by Rivals.com, is “smaller
than Rafael Little but faster,”
according to Brooks. He
rushed for 1.630 yards and 20
touchdowns his senior season.

highest point total of the year
in an 81-66 win over Missis-
sippi State.

After tying his UK-career
high in assists against the Ra-
zorbacks, Sparks led the Cats
in scoring for the first time
since the West Virginia game
on Nov 22, matching the sea-
son-high he set in that contest
with 25 points.

“I was trying to be aggres-
sive tonight.” Sparks said.

After sophomore guard
Joe Crawford nailed two
quick threes out of the gate to
help the Cats jump out to an
8—0 lead, the Bulldogs went on
a quick 8-0 run to tie the
game. That’s when Sparks
started to sizzle.

He scored eight of UK’s
next 11 points as the Cats
took a 1912 lead, then mo-
ments later sank a deep bomb
reminiscent of the shot he hit
while touching the halfcourt
UK logo in Rupp Arena in the
closing minute of the South
Carolina victory

Head coach Tubby Smith
said the Cats seem to play
their best when Sparks is hot.

“Kids seem to feed off
Patrick when he’s making his
outside shots," he said. “It’s
about high time we started
shooting well."

Crawford proceeded to
knock down his third trey of
the game as well. pulling up

SG hikes cammign spending limits

By Sean Rose
in: autumn mm

Intense debate and two
separate votes ended in the
passage of an amendment
approving a $200 campaign
spending limit increase at
last night’s Student Govern-
ment meeting, the first of
the semester.

The change raises the
amount of money 80 presi-
dential candidates can spend
from $600 to $800. Amend-
ments must be approved
twice by a three-fourths ma-
jority. This was the second
reading of the legislation,
which was approved once
last semester.

Some senators said the
increase wasn’t fair for the
average student.

“In essence you’re in-
creasing the price tag to get
into Student Government,"
said Sen. Andy Bates. “I just
think it‘s ridiculous to in-
crease this limit."

Other senators argued
that the extra funds were
needed to reach students.

“Student Government
has failed to capitalize on op-
portunities to reach out to
the students,“ said Sen. Ben
Carter. “Increasing the
spending limit only increas-
es the opportunity."

Carter and other sena-
tors added that the limit
does not require students to
spend the amount of $800
and that it was only an op-
tion.

A first vote on the
amendment failed to achieve
the three-fourths majority.
Sen. John Gillispie pushed
the majority under three-
fourths after entering the
meeting late but right before
the vote.

Senate President Nick
Phelps immediately called a
re-vote, where he stepped
down and pushed the major-
ity over the requirement. He
did not vote the first time.

Phelps said he usually re-
mains neutral at meetings
but decided to cast his vote
because the amendment had
already been approved by
the Constitutional Revisions
Committee, the Operations
and Evaluations Committee
and passed the Senate once
last semester.

Bates said he was disap-
pointed in the outcome.

“I stood up against it be-
cause it I feel it doesn‘t keep
the playing field level,"
Bates said.

Bates declined to com-
ment on whether or not he
thought the re-vote was jus-
titled.

The Senate also approved
SG President Becky
Ellingsworth’s appointments
to the Election Board of Su-
pervisions. The five-person
committee is in charge of
running and monitoring the
election process and will be
chaired by journalism se-
nior Katie Collins.

“I wanted to make sure
we had a group of unbiased

individuals," Ellingsworth
said of the board.

The other members are
communications senior
Brad Hall, pharmacy stu-
dent Brittany Pauly, political
science junior Jordan
Painter and political science
junior Abdul al-Jamaily.

With the board estab-
lished, students may begin
to officially file to run for of-
fices. All SG positions in-
cluding president and vice
president are open to non-
SG students thanks to a reg-
ulation change last year.
Candidates can begin filing
to run 15 working days be-
fore spring break and must
file eight working days be-
fore the break.

The senate finalized
polling locations and times,
adding two voting booths at
the White Hall Classroom
Building, bringing the num-
ber of polls at that location
to five, more than any loca-
tion on campus.

Money from 86’s budget
surplus was also set aside
for the UK Women's Place,
an educational and counsel-
ing center on violence
against women. The estab-
lishment was given $2,500.

The Senate passed a reso-
lution supporting the Uni-
versity Senate‘s proposals to
restructure dead week and
finals week, where classes
would end during the week
and finals would be broken
up by a weekend.

Another resolution en-

couraging steps to make
campus safer passed as well.
The resolution called for an
SG safety committee, cooper-
ation between 86 and UKPD
and quarterly safety walks.

One resolution on re-
structuring Thanksgiving
break failed last night. The
resolution called for elimi-
nation of the fall break and
to have an extra day added
to Thanksgiving break.

The Senate decided to
hold a referendum that
would pool students‘ opin-
ions on the meal plan on the
spring ballot until the next
Senate meeting. Most sena-
tors wanted clearer, more
specific wording for the
question.

Two other Ellingsworth
appointees were approved.

Ryan Hamilton, a finance
junior, was recommended as
the new executive director.
The former one, accounting
junior Nick Perez, trans-
ferred to a Texas school.

Ashley Rumsey, a psy-
chology junior, was recom—
mended by Ellingsworth to
be press secretary and ease
the workload on communi-
cations director Jason
Robinson.

The Senate also approved
an additional $900 to go to-
ward “Warm-Up Wednes-
days,“ where 86 serves hot
chocolate outside the Stu-
dent Center on Wednesday
mornings.

UK had 75 applicants by the Oct. 21.
2005 deadline. Clevidence said last De-
cember. The search committee used the
firm to continue to help narrow the
field before recommending candidates
to Todd for interviews.

The university originally narrowed
its search to seven people last spring.
but when three of those candidates ac-
cepted other positions during the selec-
tion process, UK decided to continue
the search this fall, Clevidence said.

“Clearly. we wanted someone who
understood law enforcement, particu—
larly someone who had experience in a
university environment," said Carol
Jordan, the committee chair and direc-
tor for the Center for Research on Vio.
lence Against Women. “We also wanted

someone who understood critical is-
sues that face students, faculty and
staff — like, of course, women's safe-
ty."

Vick said yesterday, however, that
he wasn‘t prepared to comment on
changes he wanted to see at the depart-
ment.

“1 first have to learn how the de-
partment operates and I have to meet
with Ken, meet with the staff here and
we have to sit down and look at which
direction the university wants the de-
partment to move in,” he said. “At that
point, yes, there may be some changes.
And there will probably be some made
because I do want to open up the lines
of communication between the police
department, Student Government and
the community at large.”

Those communications include the
Lexington Police Department and its
chief, Anthany Beatty, who spoke with
Vick for the first time yesterday.

“Yesterday I did talk to him just
briefly to tell him what the city's like
and what the university's like, just to
give him some insight.“ Beatty said.

“He‘s very excited about coming, a big
change for him. We’re excited to have
him and his family here.“

The UK Police Department often
works with the Lexington Police De-
partment to han
