Threat leads to evacuation

Initially, Kevin Manning was
scared when his residence hall
adviser banged on his door telling
him to “get out h this is for real."

Btit later, he and several others
who live in Boyd Hall were simply
“annoyed" by a bomb threat that
led police to evacuate the entire
North (Iampus building at 8:45
am. yesterday.

“It's stupid. It was just people
acting stupid because of what hap»

pened in Oklahoma." said Boyd
resident and psychology freshman
Laura Riedmger, w ho agreed with
.\I.iiining. sayingr she was annoyed
about being rotisted out of bed so

L'Ix' l’olice (:liicf \Ihl I. .\lc(:o7
mas said the building was evacuat-
ed for about Ii minutes and police
searched it. Mc( :1)“le said they
did not find anything unusual.

A young ntale telephoned Boyd
Ilall jtist before 8:4q a.m. and said
a bomb was set to go off at ‘9 a.m.,
UK spokesman Ralph Derickson
said.

comment on the content of the

“\Ve are currently investigating

“\Ve do have .soiiie leads we are

This is the first boiitb threat
UK has recei\ed this year. Both
I)ei‘ickson and .\lc(loiiias s.iid
bomb threats are rare occurrences
on campus, especially in residence

“This is not a frequent occuiv

Warrants ISSIIBII as death toll I‘ISBS

OKLAHOMA CITY — As the
rubble slowly yielded more dead,
the FBI struck back swiftly yester—
day and issued arrest warrants for
two men suspected of renting the
truck that blew apart the federal
building with a half-ton of horne—
brewed explosives.

The death toll rose to 52, mak-
ing the attack the deadliest bomb-
ing in US history. About 150
people remained unaccounted for.

Less than a (lay and a half after
the bombing at the Alfred I’. Mur-
rah Federal Building, FBI Agent
\‘I'eldon Kennedy said law
enforcement agents are seeking
two white men suspected of using
aliases to rent the trtick. The
men's identities are unknown, he
said.

Three times a charm for Jenny Hanse

Gymnast wins
third all—around
national title

By Brett Dawson

Spa/"Ia Editor

.lenny Ilansen left nothing to
chance.

She knew after competing in
yesterday's afternoon session at
the NCAA Gymnastics (Ihampi-
onships she'd have to wait for the
results of the evening session to
know if she had claimed her third
straight NCAA all»around title.

So Hansen simply put tip a
score no one could top.

Her 30.80 all~around score set
a new NCAA Championship
record, and when none of the
gymnasts in last night’s session
topped it, Hansen was crowned

for the third straight time A an
unprecedented feat in college
gymnastics.

“(The first two) don't com—
pare," Hansen said from her hotel
room last ni IN. “This one is a lot
more rewarthng."

Hansen won the title her fresh—
man and sophomore years, but
neither of those wins came close
to yesterday’s in magnitude. She

Mulholland: Meanness QPOWIIIQ ill American "‘88 III‘BSS

By Brenna Reilly
Sir/ff II 'rirer

There is a meanness creepin t across America,
and journalists are partly res tonsi Ie.

That was the message former NBC
president Bob Mulholland delivered to
students last night at the annual Joe

(Ireason Lecture.

“There is a mean spirit in American
journalism, a desire to tear down instead

of build up," Mulholland said. “If the
meanness continues, the American press

having restrictions is )ossible."

Mulholland said t ere is “a shouting
over the air waves. In your face has
become an accepted, even praised, form

of public and private behavior."

He said journalists should report the

news in a neighborly manner.

“Do you want to shout or do you want to report?
Do you want to be skeptical, which is healthy, or

scored a 39.50 in 1993 and a 39.4;
in “)4.

“It was special (to get the
record), btit I don’t pay attention
to scores," Hansen said. “I never
have. It means so much just to get
the third title."

She was not, after all, the first
freshman to win the all-around,
nor the first gymnast to repeat,
and yesterday"s performance was
her most ground-breaking.

“Everybody was wondering ifI
was going to three-peat," Hansen
said, “and I guess what makes this
so special is not having to come
back (to Lexington) and disap—
point anybody."

She certainly didn’t disappoint
the judges, who gave her scores of
I().() on the vault, 9.95 on the floor
exercise and beam and 9.90 on the
uneven bars.

Once she had finished that stel—
Iar performance though, she had
to wait for nearly six hours —» for
the completion of last night's
competition -._ before her cham-
pionship was set in stone.

But the waiting game didn't
bother her much. Hansen said her
nerves were under control as she
watched last night's session.

“Most of my competition was
in the afternoon session," she said.
“There were a few people I was
keeping my eye on at night, but I

felt pretty confident.”

So (lid her teammates who
made the trip to the University of
Georgia for support.

“It was the most exhilarating
experience I’ve ever been through
in my life," (Iolleen Sheehy said of
Hansen's performance. “She w as
unbelievable."

Hansen said she, too, could feel
something special was happening
during her record—breakin r day.

“I definitely could," site said.
“And I say this every time, but
once I saw my teammates and my
family, I just got motivated to
have that kind of performance. I
did it for them."

Alaybe so, but the history
belongs to her. The junior said it
won't set in that she has suddenly
become the most successful collev
giate gymnast ever until she
returns to Lexington.

“Not until I get back home and
read the papers and everything,"
she said. “Right now, I’m not
thinking about that. I‘m just
happy with this."

Her weekend isn‘t over yet.
Hansen will shoot for individual
titles in the vault, balance beam,
uneven bars and floor exercise
tomorrow at 7 p.m.

She has won two such titles in
her career, claiming the vault and
balance beam titles last season.

ernment to tell you what to report?" he asked.
