Hazing is any situation created
0 l or offcampus with the intent to
l' imiliate new members, said
I‘avid \Vestol, executive director
o'Theta Chi social fraternity.

“People say the definition is too
I 'oad,” \"estol said, “but the deli-
rtion is clear as bell."

About 70 people attended
\Vestol's lecture, “Hazing on
'I rial," yesterday in \Vorsham
'l heater. The meeting, which was
sponsored by the UK greek com-
n unity, was intended inform UK’s
fraternities and sororities about
tl e specifics of hazing.

“About 10 to 15 percent of peo-
p e in organizations are hazers,”
\g‘u’estol said. “Those people prob-
ably aren’t here.”

Westol said that that hazing is
o ten cloaked in secrecy, because if
fiaternities told pled es about the
hizing that goes on t ey wouldn't
g ) through it.

He suggested that fraternities
p it hazing on their brochures and

\Vestol said the correct think-
ing is that members have to work
to stay in the fraternity, and that
pledges and actives should work
together in proportional amounts.
“It is a lazy chapter that relies
on hazing,” Westol said. “It is not
in the ritual that seniors don’t
have to work as hard as pledges."

 

Although not all hazing is not
life—threatening, all hazing leads to
other hazing and can lead to life—
threatening problems.

Westol told the audience a
story about a hypothetical pled re

— “The orgasm of hazing,"

 

Also the concept of

UK expert aiding
Michigan schools

By Mara Spaldlnu

( mn-ilmri'ng II ’n'm'

Students and faculty at UK are working closely
w ith Michigan State University to desi a new mar-
k :t-based school system for the state 0 Michi n.

Eugenia Toma, director of UK’s Martin Sciaool of
I ublic Policy and Administration, was chosen by the
Michigan Board of Education to be the director of
research for this project.

Toma, who has a bachelor of arts in economics
fi om UK and a doctorate in economics from Virginia

0 C C

Pol echnic Institute, was chosen because they were
loo 'ng for someone with her type of background.
The board of education is interested in structural
reforms as opposed to specific techniques of teach-
ng.

Michigan State received a grant for this project
which was then subcontracted to Toma.

The project is titled “A New Framework for Pub—
lic Education in Michigan.”

The team, includin seven students and faculty
members, will be in t e project by evaluating the
effectiveness of ichigan’s current K-12 education
system. Then, they will develop a new model that
allows competition. The goal will be to adopt tech-
niques suitable for both the students and their fami-
lies.

“We do not expect it to be similar to KERA,"
Toma said.

For example, programs such as the ungraded pri—

tnary system will not be included.

It will focus more on the aspects of school con~
cerning who is able to make important decisions for
the schools and how the finances for these changes
will be covered.

“In its call for proposals, the Michi an Board of
Education invited innovative changes,” Toma said.

More specific infonnation on the project will be
available in May orJune of 1996.

Toma has been at UK since 1986 and has been the
director of the Martin School since January I995.

The Martin School is a multi-disciplinary pro-
gram that consists of three different 5 of pro-
grams. It offers a master's degree in pu ic adnunis—
tration, a doctorate in public administration and a
master's in health administration.

Earlier this year, it was ranked 27th among 223
public administration graduate programs across the
nation.

Shutdown over
alter new agreement

WASHINGTON — The Clinton administra-
tion and Republican congressional leaders ended a
six—day budget standoff Sunday night, sending fed-
eral employees back to work after the White House
committed to speedy negotiations to balance the
budget in seven years.

“Tomorrow the government
will go back to work and now the
debate will begin in earnest." Presi-
dent Clinton said, appearing in the
White House press room shortly
after the deal was announced.

By voice votes, the Senate and
House adopted identical one-day
measures to reopen the govern-
ment. The Senate also approved a
bill funding the government
through Dec. 15 and the House planned to follow
on Monday.

Both sides declared victory —— Republicans
because the deal reflected their seven—year
timetable and Clinton because it spoke of protect~
ing programs he considers important.

tlll ends exhibition season

By Jason Dattllo
Sports Editor

The Cats' 119-80 win over
Athletes in Action Friday night at
Rupp Arena marked the end of the
exhibition season.

From now on wins and losses
count and the margin for error
shrinks.

If the AIA game is any indica—
tion, the Cats should be ready for
action when the regular season
tips of against Maryland in Fri-
day’s Tip Off Classic in Spring—
field, Mass.

“1 can't wait to get started,”
freshman point guard Wayne
Turner said.

“Exhibition games are fun
but our first three games are going
to be some of the best games in
b 1sketball history. "

UK led \I-A by as many as 28
points in the first half before
increasing its lead in the second
stanza.

Derek Anderson led the Cats
with 27 points in just over 19 min-
utes while Tony Delk chipped in
1‘) as five Cats reached double fig-
ures.

“Overall I was pleased with our
performance,” Pitino said. “The
players are h1'1\ing a lot of fun and
pl tying together.”

The exhibition setting gave
Coach Rick Pitino the chance to
play all the available players on

UK's bench — forward/center
Walter McCarty and guard
Cameron Mills missed the game
due to minor injuries. No \\'iltlc11t
player played more than 35 min-
utes.

strengths (fast breaking) and
weaknesses (defensive rebound-
ing).

“\Ve are a great fast break
team,” Pitino said. “We change
ends quicker than any team I’ve
ever coached. But when you give
up 19 second shots — 13 or 14 by

halftime — that takes away eight
or nine opportunities that we
could be out on the break.”

UK may have some weakness-
es, but they weren't that evident
to AIA coach Sharm Scheuerman,
whose road-weary team fell to 4—9
on its current tour.

“If there’s a better team in the
country, I‘d like to see it,"
Scheuerman said.

The AI \ coach sees the Cats'
potential as do many of the pre—
season magazines, but Pitino is
not going to allow himself or his
players to get caught up in the
excitement.

“We could play excellent bas-
ketball and start the season 7—,2 ”
Pitino said. “\Ve re not going to
get too concerned about the
hype.”

As for being ranked No. 1 in
the AP Poll.

“\Ve don’t deserve to be No.1,"
Pitino said. “VVhat did we do to
deserve to be No.1?

“We 0t knocked out in the
Elite Eig t last year. I think we’re
one of six or seven basketball
teams that could be ranked No.
l,” Pitino said.

“At the end of the year if we’re
a No.1 seed we would certainly
deserve it because we played the
price on the court. But right now
we don’t deserve to be one, two,
three or four because we haven’t
proven anything.”

It’s unusual for a player to hit ()0 percent

at all unusual, though, for Anderson
to be the sparkplug for UK, the pre-
season No. 1 team in the nation.

But Anderson’s biggest contribution —
his get- up— and— —go - isn ’t measurable. The

a madman, in an effort to inspire his team-
mates to do likewise.

“I want to set the pace." he said. “IfI get

though, doesn t require the kintfof play 1t ll

“Not to take anything away from (AIA),
but I’m ready to play against a team with

Anderson likely will stand around the

By 0. Jason Stapleton
Staff Writer

There was standing room
only at the Lexington Ice Cen-
ter Saturday night when the
UK Cool Cats hosted the Indi-
ana Hoosiers.

This is just what UK want-
ed, because on Friday night the
Cats traveled up to Blooming-
ton and were handed a 9-0
shellacking. .

They were hoping to
rebound at home on Saturday
ni ht, but the Hoosiers had

tfier plans in their 5-3 win.

IU came out and pla ed stel-
lar defense, holding the Cool
Cats scoreless for almost the
entire first period. In fact, there
was no scoring at all for the
first 15 minutes of the game.

Then at the 5:13 mark of the
first, IU scored on a sla shot
against freshman goalie ,fiistin
Hosie. IU added another sec—
onds later, jumping out to a 2-0
lead.

UK was not going to be
taken that easily at home how-
ever. Still in the first period,
UK wingman Paul Cerabona
brought the Cool Cats back
into the game with a goal at the
3:06 mark.

IU scored once again with
only 1:06 left in the period to
silence the crowd.

Then, at 4:09 in the second
period, the Hoosiers scored yet
another goal, effectively taking
the crowd out of the ame.

“We just weren t etting
shots,” UK Coach Gor Sum-
mers said. “We got away from
our game plan and that hurt
us.”

UK team captain and lead-
ing scorer, Chris Boyd sus—
tained a deep knee bruise last
week against Bowling Green
and did not play the first peri-
od.

Coach Summers said it was
his decision not to play Boyd in
the first period.

“I thought it would be best
to rest him the first period
because he didn’t practice
much during the week,” Sum-
mers said.
