“considerable distance” to
a farm house for help.

The Pulaski County
Sheriff‘s Department ar-
rived at the scene at 6:58
am.

Watts, of Oviedo. Fla.
was taken to Lake Cumber-

then transferred to the UK
Medical Center.

Steinmetz transferred

Brock was a former

Couch left yesterday to
return to Hyden. Newton
said.

Newton expressed disap-
pointment with himself for
not having met Steinmetz or
his family.

“I haven’t met him
(Artie)." Newton said.
“That‘s my loss. It’s one of
those things as an athletic
director. where there are
300-400 student-athletes.

"l‘ve met the Watts fam-
ily. but not Artie or his fam-
ily. It makes me want to do
a better job of meeting these
kids."

Newton and UK football
Media Relations Director
Tony Neely said Mumme
would discuss the tragedy to—
day at his weekly news con-
ference.

Rena Vicini. the assis-
tant athletic director for Me-

tion of the players has been
the most difficult thing to
watch.

“You think they are
men. and then you see them
in a situation like this. and
they are like kids." Vicini
said. "And in some ways.
they are."

commeutmc WRITER—

Everybody wants to beat Ten-
nessee. right?

Students can help do it without
putting on a football jersey.

The Central Kentucky Blood
Center and six UK organizations
Residence Hall Association.
Student Government Association.
Interfraternity Council. Pan-Hel-
lenic Council and the UK Band 777
are sponsoring the 11th annual
Big Blue Crush blood drive
against the University of Ten-
nessee this week.

"The blood drive got started in
1988 when our Central Kentucky
Blood Center and the Medic Re-
gional Medical Center in Knoxville
(Tenn) had continually faced diffi»
culty getting blood during the
Thanksgiving week." said Sally
Baker. public relations manager of
the CKBC.

The shortage was because of in-
creased travel during the holiday.
Baker said. Less people took the
time to donate during this busy
time of year. causing blood banks

to run low at a critical time.

The annual game with Volun-
teers. always the last game of the
football regular season. seemed a
perfect time to hold a blood drive to
boost supplies for the holiday. with
the competition between the two
schools being so intense.

“It's always been very close."
Baker said. “The official score is
Kentucky five wins. Tennessee
four wins: we actually tied one
year."

Last year. the Volunteers got
the best of the Wildcats, so the
CKBC is pushing hard this year to
win. This year's victor will be an-
nounced at the football game on
Saturday. Baker said the center
hopes to have much-needed student
support.

“Our goal is 3.000 pints.“ Baker
said. “and we hope a lot of those
donors will be UK students. We‘d
like to have over 1.000 pints come
from students. We couldn‘t provide
enough blood and fulfill our mis-
sion without student support."

Education freshman Ryan Mc-
Gaughey plans to donate for the
first time this week.

help other people out." he said.

Giving blood takes less than an
hour, and side effects are minimal.
The pint of blood donated is replen-
ished in the body in about 24 hours.
Donation should not interfere with
any normal activities. But the cen~
ter recommends donors eat a good
meal at least three hours before
giving blood. and not to engage in
any strenuous exercise for 24 hours
after donating.

To donate. you must be at least
17 years of age. weigh at least 100
pounds and be in good general
health. Donors go through a short
confidential detailed medical histo-
ry and physical examination prior
to donating.

"A lot of people think they
can't donate because they're taking
medication." Baker said. “and that
may not be true. It‘s the reason
they're on medication that may
mean they can‘t donate. if you
think you might be able to donate.
come try."

Everyone who donates on Mon-
day or Tuesday is eligible to win a
travel package to the UK-L'T game
on Saturday. and every donor gets
a free Big Blue Crush T-shirt. The
drawing for the trip is Wednesday.
and the winner will be contacted
later that day.

Kwame Ture. who as Stoke-
ly Carmichael made the phrase
“black power" a rallying cry of
the civil rights upheavals of the
1960s. died Sunday in Guinea. a
member of Ture's All-African
People‘s Revolutionary Party
said. He was .37.

Sharon Sohukwe. a mem«
ber of the organization in
Philadelphia. said Ture died
of prostate cancer. She
learned of his death from
Amadou l._v. an AAPRP mem-
ber and one of Ture‘s closest

friends. who was with him
when he died.
The Rev. Jesse Jackson

said he visited with Ture three
times at his home in Guinea
during a trip to Africa last
week.

“in many ways he was at
peace with himself." Jackson

said in a tele-
phone inter-
view from
Washington.
”He wanted for
his last days to
be in Guinea
and iii West
Africa. He

 

wanted to be
amongst the
people of
Africa.

“He was one of our genera-
tion who was determined to
give his life to transforming
America and Africa." Jackson
added. “He was committed to
ending racial apartheid in our
country. He helped to bring
those walls down."

Ture was diagnosed with
prostate cancer in 1996. A self-
described socialist. he was

Louis Farrakhan.

As the young Carmichael.
he was among the most fiery
and visible leaders of black mil-
itancy in the United States in
the 19605. first as head of the
Student Nonviolent Coordinat-
ing Committee and then as
prime minister of the Black
Panther Party.

He cut his ties with the
American groups over the issue
of allying with white radicals
and moved to Guinea in West
Africa in 1969. There. with a
new name taken from the
African leaders Kwame
Nkrumah and Ahmed Sekou
Toure. he organized the All

preaching black power and
championing socialism while
condemning America. capital
ism and Zionism.

Born in Trinidad on June
29. 1941. and raised there and in
New York. Ture described him-
self as a pliant acceptor of white
dominion while growing up.

He recalled in a 1967 inter
view with the London Observer
that as a boy in the Trinidad
capital of Portof—Spain. he and
his black schoolmates "went to
the movies and yelled for
Tarzan to beat the hell out of
Africa.“

“i‘m angry because I didn't
rebel." he said.

in 1968. he left the SNCC for
the Black Panthers. but broke
with that urban-guerrilla move-
ment the following year be
cause it favored working with
radical whites. He said history
showed such alliances had “led
to complete subversion of the
blacks by the whites."
