‘After that conversation.

Celebrating 31 year of independence

Mattox resigns after eight years

'l'ournament. The team‘s fi—
nal (iveiall record was lilti.

play.

Three days after that loss.
Mattox submitted her resig-

Now. Barnhart faces an
other search for a new head
coach.

Having learned from the
search for football coach Rich
Brooks. Barnhart set no dead-
line for finding a new basket

search “wide open" and has
already met with his staff to
begin creating a list of possi~

ideal candidate as one who

would reach out to the local

local area and elsewhere. In

Plan would increase
proposed drop fees

Debate: Students would be charged 20 percent
of the cost of each credit hour dropped under plan

Byltebecca Neal
surr WRITER '7
Students may have to

pay more than originally
proposed under a new V01“

sion of a plan to charge stu-

dents for dropping classes.

In a proposal intro-
duced to the University Sen-
ate Monday. students will be
charged 20 percent of the
cost of each credit hour
dropped. up until the dead-
line for receiving refunds.
said Provost Mike Nietzel.

The proposed fee. using
tuition costs for the 2002-
2003 school year. would cost
an in-state student dropping
a three-hour class about $95
and an out-of-state graduate
student about 3377. Fees
would be the same for full-
time and part-time students.

Under the ﬁrst proposal.
which Nietzel sent out in a
memo last week. students
would be charged $20 per
credit hour dropped.

Nietzel explained the
proposal to an audience of
faculty members.

“The current system is
unfair for part-time stu-
dents." Nietzel said. “They

pay more than full-time stu-
dents per credit hour."

Part-time students al»
ready pay a percent of the
class" cost when they drop
after school starts.

"We want to treat full-
time and part-time students
the same." N ietzel said.

Nietzel said that full
time students dropped a to-
tal of 7.223 classes during
fall of 2002. resulting in a
cost of $861481 for UK.

“It's the equivalent to
stafﬁng a fall semester with
30.000 students. then 8.000
are gone within weeks." he
said.

He said the fee is a way

Speak up

Students can voice their
opinion about the fee at a stu-
dent forum Tuesday, where Ni-

North Korea test-ﬁres missile

Pressure: Analysts believe spy plane's interception,
other recent actions, meant to spur U.S. diplomacy

ASSOCIATID PRESS

SEOI'L. South Korea
In an apparent attetnpt to
push the United States into
talks. North Korea test-fired a
shortrange missile Monday
amid tension over its suspect-
ed efforts to develop nuclear
weapons.

Analysts said the widely
anticipated launch from a
base on North Korea‘s east
coast lit a pattern of unusual
military maneuvers in recent
weeks that seemed designed
to pressure Washington into
dialogue.

Those maneuvers in-
clude the March 2 intercep-
tion of a US reconnaissance
plane by North Korean ﬁght-

er jets in international air-
space off the North‘s east
coast. The North said the
move was defensive. There
was no hostile ﬁre. and the
US. plane returned to its
base in Japan.

"In the big picture. North
Korea is trying to draw the
United States to the negotiat»
ing table.“ said Paik Hak-
soon. a North Korea expert at
Sejong Institute, a private re»
search center in Seoul.

“In the short term. North
Korea is trying to send a mes-
sage to Washington saying.
‘We are determined to defend
our territory.‘ It's because of
suspicion that North Korea is
next after Iraq.“ Paik said.

North Korea wants a
nonaggression treaty and
economic aid from the Unit-
ed States. which is preparing
for war against Iraq. Wash-
ington says the UN. Security
Council should handle the
North Korean nuclear prob-
letn.

In Washington. top Bush
administration ofﬁcials said
Sunday the time still isn't
ripe for one-on'one talks with
North Korea and any lasting
solution to the nuclear dis
pute will need the support of
Russia. China and other na-
tions.

“1 think eventually we
will be talking to North K0-
rea. but we're not going to
simply fall into what I believe
is bad practice of saying the
only way you can talk to us is
directly. when it affects other

nations in the region." Set-rev
tary of State Colin Powell
said on CNN‘s "Late Edi-
tion."

"Democrats are pressing
the Bush administration to
begin direct talks
immediately

"National security advisv
er Condoleezza Rice said on
ABC's "This Week" that the
United States isn‘t afraid to
talk. "but we need to do so iii
a way that will bring maxi-
mum pressure on North Ko-
rea to actually this time not
just freeze its weapons of
tnass destruction. but begin
to dismantle them.“

“The Pentagon had ex-
pected a missile launch. cit~
ing a North Korean warning
to ships to stay out of a sec-
tor off the east coast from
Saturday to Tuesday.

March Madness clouded by scandals

Out of it: Georgia, Fresno State, St. Bonaventure
among teams withdrawing from postseason play

ASSOCIATED PRESS

March Madness is fast ap-
proaching. but the focus in
men‘s college basketball this
season is less on hyped-up
court rivalries than on a spate
of scandals and ﬁrings among
top programs.

On Monday. the Universi-
ty of Georgia joined the list: It
suspended men‘s basketball
coach Jim Harrick with pay
and withdrew from postsea-
son competition after an in-
ternal investigation showed
three players took a phony
class taught by Harrick’s son.

The school and National
Collegiate Athletic Associa-
tion are looking into the alle-
gations.

But the trouble at Geor-
gia is only the latest to hit col-

lege basketball in the days
leading up to its biggest event.
the NCAA tournament.

- On Sunday. St. Bonaven-
ture president Robert Wicken-
heiser resigned and athletic
director Gothard Lane and
head coach Jan van Breda
Kolff were put on administra-
tive leave following a tumul-
tuous week. First. center
Jamil Terrell was ruled ineli-
gible for violating NCAA
transfer guidelines. Then the
Atlantic 10 Conference
stripped the team of six
league victories and barred it
from conference postseason
play. Finally, players said they
would boycott the team's ﬁnal
two games.

- On Saturday, Villanova
suspended 12 players for al—
legedly obtaining an athletic

department employee's secret
telephone access number and
using it to run up long dis-
tance charges.

- Last week. Fresno State
decided to keep itself out of
the postseason tournaments.
and the Western Athletic Con-
ference barred the team from
the conference tournament.
after a former student
claimed players paid him to
write papers. In December.
the school had placed its team
and athletic department on
self-probation for two years
for numerous NCAA rules vi~
olations.

NCAA spokesman Wally
Renfro called it an “unusual"
string of events.

“I’m not sure there's
precedent for the number of
institutions in this position."
he said.

Asked about the prob-
lems and disciplinary action.
NCAA president Myles Brand

said during a telephone inter-
view: “I think the system is
working. and I think in each
of the situations the appro-
priate actions were taken.“

At Georgia. Tony Cole
kicked off the team last year
——— accused Harrick and his
son of breaking NCAA rules.
Cole said Jim Harrick Jr. paid
his bills, did schoolwork and
taught a sham class on coach-
ing which Cole said he never
attended but in which he re-
ceived an A. Harrick Jr. was
ﬁred Wednesday.

This is the second time
the elder Harrick has been
disciplined over an ethical
lapse; he was ﬁred by UCLA
in 1996 for lying about an ex-
pense report.

Georgia, ranked among
the nation's top 25 teams. had
been a lock to receive a third
straight invitation to the
NCAA tournament. which de-
cides the national champion.

signature on a program that‘s
ready for success."

Junior center SeSe Helm
echoes Barnhart‘s optimism
for the team.

“We are capable of a lot of
stuff." Helm said. “We have

the talent.“

Helm said the team did
not expect Mattox’s departure,
but that her exit brings
“mixed emotions."

“It is not like everyday
you lose a coach it sucks
you are losing people that are
like family." Helm said.

“It’s life, and you have
changes in your life. It is just
another change.“ Helm said.

For 13 years. Mattox was

part of the UK family She
served as an assistant to Rick
Pitino from 1990 to 1994 as she

became the ﬁrst female
“bench coach" in Division I
history.

She was named assistant
athletics director in 1994 be-
fore becoming the head coach
of the women’s team in 1995.

Mattox had an overall
record of 91-135. including two
winning seasons, the 1998-1999

and 1999—2000 seasons.

Mattox lead the team to
the second round of the
NCAA Tournament in 1999.
UK’s ﬁrst appearance since
1991.

Those two winning sea-
sons have been followed by
three losing ones, including
two straight years of 20 losses
or more. The last few seasons
have been turbulent. with nu-
merous transfers.

DROP

to keep students from shop-
ping around for classes.

“It‘s a way to prevent the
game we all know students are
playing.“ he said. “It costs the
institution and your depart-
ment to play that strategy"

Nietzel said he wanted to
stress that the fee isn't a
fundraiser for the university

“I think it‘s reasonable to
take 50 percent of the money
from the fee and put it in stu-
dent scholarship funds and
take the other 50 percent and
put it toward teaching re-
sources.“ N ietzel said.

Some professors debated
the fee proposal at Monday‘s
University Senate meeting.
showing that students aren't
the only ones on campus ques-

tioning the proposal.

“it just doesn’t make
sense." said Kaveh Tagavi. an
engineering professor.

One professor warned
that the fee could unfairly af-
fect certain students.

“I ask that you exempt
ﬁrst-semester or ﬁrst-year stu-
dents. as they don't know ex-
actly what they're getting
into." said Hans Gesund. a civ-
il engineering professor.

The fee may be necessary
if UK's budget is cut, said Dar-
rell Jennings. a College of
Medicine professor.

“This may represent a
luxury you just can't afford.“
Jennings said.

Other professors ques-
tioned the effect of dropped
classes on their departments.

“1 think it may be overes-
timating drops in large classes
where the labs are separate."
said Chuck Staben. chairman
of the Department of Biology

Some said they didn‘t

think the fee would help.

“This wouldn't save much
money at all in chemistry."
said Bob Grossman. a chem-
istry professor.

Nietzel said the fee isn't
meant to prevent students
from graduating on time.

“We want to encourage
students to take as many cred-
it hours as necessary to gradu-
ate in four or ﬁve years." Niet-
zel said.

University Senate Chair-
man Jeff Dembo said the stu
dent response to the fee has
been overwhelming.

“I've had more student e-
mails over this than I've ever
gotten before.“ he said.

Matt Falk. a SG senator
from the College of Business
and Economics, organized a
forum that will be held tonight
to let students voice their opin-
ion on the fee.

“It‘s a huge issue. but if
students were to speak tip.
then they might be able to kill

it." Falk said.

Armstrong went public
with her diagnosis in 1994. a
year after her last ﬁlm was
released. She had to deal
with stereotypes of the dis-
ease. as well as stereotypes
that her Playmate lifestyle
caused the disease.

“Society portrays pin-up
models as someone who
sleeps around. People think
that if a person takes off
their clothes for a magazine.
they must take off their
clothes for everyone." Arm«

shocked that I didn't get it

Baker added. “There are
instances that come up that af-

they need representation."

A college senator. for ex

The job requirements

said. Senators spend an aver»

age of six to 10 hours per

Baker added that he is not
yet worried about potential
holes in the senate structure

“l have confidence that
