Edwards said. “We are trying to

According to a 2004 study done
by the Center for Research on Vio

and one out of every three will ex-

Rajon Rondo was forced to

whether he would return

Rondo seemed under-

saying he would “definitely" be

Violence against women,
primarily sexual assault, is
prevalent within the UK stu-
dent community. Edwards
said, and because of this the
event has great.momentum
on UK’s campus.

The event isn’t solely
aimed at women. however.

"it raises the level of
awareness for all students.
especially for men who play a
key role in ensuring safety,”
said Victor Hazard, dean of
students.

The event will begin in
front of Memorial Coliseum
at 6 pm. and the gathered
crowd is scheduled to begin a
march up South Limestone
Street to Memorial Hall at
approximately 6:30 pm.

Once the marchers reach
Memorial Hall, a candlelight
vigil will be held and speak-

ers will address the crowd in
a “speak-out," scheduled to
last from 7 to 8 pm, will take
place.

One of the themes of the
event is to give victims the
chance to talk about their ex-
periences.

“Speaking out about vio-
lence against women in our
communities is important
because the problem finds its
power in secrecy,” said Carol
Jordan. director of the Cen-
ter for Research on Violence
Against Women. “Naming

the problem and visibly
speaking out against it is a
way to dissolve the grip these
crimes have on communities
of women across our na-
tion.”

“We want to give people a
better understanding (of vio
lence against women),” A.M.
Groenwolbt, a UK student
and key organizer of the
event, said.

their support for the change.

“I am completely behind
the change back to the old din-
ing plan,” Chase Stevens,
sophomore education major
said. “I feel like I am wasting
so much money with the new
meal plan and I can’t think of
many students that I know
that don’t feel the same way"

Also on the ballot, a renew-
able energy referendum
proposing a $6 to $8 dollar in-
crease in student fees each se-
mester to be used for renew-
able energy initiatives on UK’s
campus.

The University of North
Carolina-Chapel Hill and the
University of Tennessee have
adopted similar energy plans
and offset more than 50 per-
cent of total electrical energy
usage, according to the Green
Thumb Environmental Club.

Green Thumb expects to
have little student opposition
to the plan.

“This is a win-win situa-
tion.” Tiffany Thompson.
Green Thumb member said.
“so we don‘t expect too many
students to be opposed to the
issue. We are talking about a
small amount of money that
will have a huge impact.“

Some aren‘t so sure about
how it will work out, though.

“I support the idea behind
renewable energy but I'm not
sure that I think that this vote
will really make any real
change on campus," said se-
nior biology major Jessica ()1,
son. “They say it will only cost
us a few dollars but I think get-

non-seniors. He's being pro
jected as a first-round selec-
tion in most on-line mock
drafts, which would mean a
guaranteed contract.

One site,
insidehoops.com, predicted
Rondo would fall to the sec-
ond-round, which would
mean the team that chose
him would not be forced to of-
fer him a contract. The site
which correctly predicted
center Randolph Morris
would go unselected in last
June's draft, NBADraft.net,
lists Rondo as the 15th overall
pick.

Mike DeCourcy, senior
college basketball writer for
The Sporting News, says the
first-round projections, which
list Rondo as high as the
ninth overall pick, are way off
base.

“Right now, there’s no way
that he’s a first-round pick,”
he said yesterday. “These
draft sites are worthless. they
aren’t worth whatever some-
one is paying to keep them on
the Web.”

DeCourcy cited Morris’
draft experience last year as
evidence that the projections
can’t be trusted. Most draft
boards had Morris listed as a
late first-round or early sec-
ond-round selection after his
freshman season. But he went
undrafted, which paved the
way for his eventual return to
UK for his sophomore year.

DeCourcy said Rondo
would do well to learn from
his teammate‘s failed experi-
ment.

“Rajon Rondo is an elite
athlete at the point. He’s one
of the best pure athletes at
that position in the last 10
years,” he said. “But he’s not
ready. He can’t shoot. To be an
NBA player you have to be
able to shoot the ball well
enough to keep the defense
honest."

Rondo hit just 27 percent
of his Spoint attempts on the
year. Opponents ofien left him
open near the perimeter. opt-
ing to sag back toward the
paint and take their chances
giving him a good look from
the arc rather than giving
him the room to penetrate to
the basket.

DeCourcy said the NBA
has a wealth of players that
are quick enough on the de-
fensive end to keep Rondo

from getting to the rim if
they don’t have to worry
about him pulling up and
nailing jump shots.

He suggested that another
year under Smith’s tutelage
would help him develop a
more dangerous jumper and
become a better prospect.

“His mechanics aren’t so
bad as a shooter that they are
beyond repair,” he said. De-
Courcy pointed to a lottery
pick from last year's draft to
illustrate the strides Rondo
could make by returning for
another year of college hoops.

“Raymond Felton (of
North Carolina) shot horribly
as a sophomore and had a re-
ally lackluster year," he said.
“But he comes back and plays
great. then he’s the number
five pick in the draft. Rondo
has that ability, no doubt."

DeCourcy admitted that a
first-round selection was not
out of the realm of possibility

if Rondo were to play well
during pre-draft camps this
summer. But he said no mat.
ter how early the sophomore
might be chosen this year.
there's little chance that a re-
turn to UK would do anything
but elevate his stock.

“If he‘s got a good head on
his shoulders, he'll wait." he
said.

SOFTBALL NOTEBOOK

 

Softball hoping tO Spring

By Ryan Kuhn
THE T—tntucxt HTML

The UK softball team is
hoping that history does not
repeat itself this week as the
sixth-ranked Lady Vols of
Tennessee come to Lexington
for a three-game series. The
series begins with a double-
header today at 3 pm. at the
UK Softball Complex.

Tennessee (27-4, 2-4 SEC)
went 03 against No. 4 Alaba-
ma this past weekend in a
clash of Southeastern Con-
ference powerhouses. but if
the past is any indicator. UK
should be ready for a test.

The last time UT was
swept by a league opponent
they followed it up with a 16-
game winning streak.

The Cats (14-16. 2-10) are
2-7 since their dominating
performance in the Frostbite
Classic. but they have been
holding their own at the
plate with a .268 team batting
average. The Cats are paced
on offense by senior Meghan
Cooper (.381) and junior
Brooke Marnitz (.330, 5 HR).

The Vols will remember
Marnitz from last season,
when the Lexington native
hit a game-winning eighth-
inning home run to upset UT
2-1.

UK coach Eileen Schmidt
said the team had better be
ready for the Vols.

“We need to have a solid
effort in getting leadofl' bat-
ters on. moving people up
and raising our level of play
with runners in scoring posi-
tion." said Schmidt. “We did
all those things earlier in the
year and we need to get back
to that."

Recruits,
make future bright

By Chris DeLotell
mt xzutucxv mm

As the days pass after
last week‘s second round
NCAA Tournament defeat.
disappointment turns to op-
timism for the UK women‘s
basketball team. The Cats.
coming off their most suc-
cessful season in more than
a decade. only lose to gradu-
ation former walk-on
Stephanie Stumbo.

While Stumbo‘s depar-
ture could leave a void in
team leadership, she made
few on~court contributions
and played sparingly. Her
only significant minutes
during the season came
when she started UK's se-
nior night game against A1-
abama.

The Cats only other se-
nior from this year. forward
Jennifer Humphrey. will re-
turn next season. She re-
ceived an extra year via a
medical redshirt granted by
the NCAA.

Humphrey missed the
majority of her sophomore

The crown jewel of the
group is Brown. who is

niors in the country.

“Arnika is a tremendous
athlete." DeMoss said.
“There are a variety of ways
she can score. She can face
up to the basket. score over
you or take you off the drib-
ble. She is so versatile and is

extremely quick. She is one
of the best players to come

Five judges who served
on the secret court that ap-
proves domestic spying
warrants endorsed a pro-
posal Tuesday that would
require judicial review of
the National Security
Agency’s warrantless sur-
veillance program.

Judge James Robert-
son, who served on the se-
cret court until he quit ap-
parently in protest of the
program, wrote Congress
to support a proposal to
have that court oversee the
program. In a highly un-
usual appearance on Capi-
tol Hill. four other federal
judges, who no longer
serve on the secret court,
also backed the proposal.

The endorsements were
the latest development in
the debate over the legality
of the NSA program and
whether Congress should
alter and monitor it more
carefully — ideas the White
House has largely resisted.

NEWS BRIEFS

 

The proposal strikes “a
reasonable approach to
meeting both the need for
national security and for
protecting Americans' civil
liberties,” said William
Stafford, a federal judge in
Florida who sat on the se-
cret court until 2003.

President Bush took the
first step in what aides say
may be a second-term over-
haul of his beleaguered ad-
ministration Tuesday as he
announced the departure
of longtime Chief of Staff
Andrew H. Card Jr.

Card offered his resig-
nation earlier this month.
saying it Would be best for
the president.

Bush named Joshua
Bolten, director of the Of-
fice of Management and
Budget. to replace Card.
and indicated that more
changes are in the offing.
Card‘s resignation comes
after a series of political

missteps that have con-
tributed to Bush’s sinking
approval rating and
prompted some Republi-
cans to urge a staff shake-
up.
White House officials
emphasized that Bolten
would have the prerogative
to bring in fresh staff
members and revamp oper-
ations to suit his leader-
ship style. The White
House must find a replace-
ment for domestic policy
adviser Claude Allen, who
resigned after being ac-
cused of stealing from re-
tail stores. and now a new
budget director. At least
one or two other senior of-
ficials are expected to leave
for their own reasons by
the end of the school year
this spring, a senior official
said.

FBI A t Says Moussaoui
med 0 Make a Deal

In a final twist to an al-
ready bizarre case, the last
witness in the Zacarias

Moussaoui trial Tuesday
described a secret. late-
night jailhouse meeting in
February where Mous-
saoui tried to strike a deal
with prosecutors to cooper-
ate with the government in
order to save his life.

FBI Special Agent
James Fitzgerald, one of
the lead agents in the case,
said Moussaoui summoned
him and federal prosecu-
tors to the Alexandria city
jail in an attempt to per-
suade them that he was
worth more to them alive
than dead.

But the bargaining in
the jail law library late on
the evening of Feb. 6. a
month before Moussaoui‘s
trial began. broke down
when prosecutors demand-
ed that Moussaoui provide
“full and complete“ cooper-
ation and tell everything he
knew about al-Qaida. not
just his role in the Sept. 11
conspiracy.

 

Agency says Iraq Violence
displaces more than 25,000

By Ellen Knickmeyer
THE wlsmscrou POST

BAGHDAD, Iraq — Sec-
tarian violence has dis-
placed more than 25.000
Iraqis since the Feb. 22
bombing of a Shiite Mus-
lim shrine. a U.N.-affiliated
agency said Tuesday. and
shelters and tent cities are
springing up across central
and southern Iraq to house
homeless Sunni and Shiite
families.

The flight is continuing.
according to the Interna-
tional Organization for Mi-
gration. which works close-
ly with the United Nations
and other groups. The re-
sult has been a population
exchange as Sunni and Shi-
ite families flee mixed com-
munities for the safety of
areas where their own sects
predominate.

“I definitely wouldn‘t
say the displacement has
peaked." said Dana Graber.
an official of the migration
agency in Amman. Jordan.
“It‘s continuous."
