For at least another two years, in-
cumbent councilman Dick DeCamp
will continue to represent the UK area
on the Lexington-Fayette Urban County
Council. DeCamp beat Lexington ac-
tivist Don Pratt by almost 13 percent of
the vote in the 3rd District. which en-
compasses much of the off-campus
housing surrounding UK.

DeCamp received 56.6 percent of the vote, with 1,666
votes. Pratt received 43.4 percent of the vote, with 1,275
votes. Two write-in votes were cast in the 3rd District.
UK DeCamp said he plans to work more closely with

“We’re right on the edge of doing some things that
will beneﬁt the community and UK‘ he said. His plans
include “a more livable downtown” to attract college stu-
dents and a ﬁnancial assistance fund for staff and facul-
ty who want to buy houses near UK.

In a statement released to the media, Pratt said he
would be leaving Kentucky.

“Other dreams of mine will now become a priority,
and I will pursue them, hopefully more successfully than
the seat of 3rd District council," Pratt said in the state-
ment. “However, those dreams will not be fulﬁlled in
Lexington or in Kentucky"

“For an incumbent with weak opposition, that's a
bad sign,” said Stephen Voss, a UK political science pro-

fessor.

DeCamp said he had not anticipated how many

votes Pratt would receive.

“In politics you never know,” DeCamp said. “You
can never take any good competitor for granted.”

DeCamp said he raised about $20,000 for the race,
$15,000 of which he spent on leaﬂets. campaign costs,
and TV and newspaper ads. Pratt said he spent his own
money and tried not to spend more than $1,000.

“The fact that DeCamp did so poorly against an op-
ponent who had very few resources ought to make him
think twice about his strategies,” Voss said.

Voss also said he thought much of DeCamp’s opposi-
tion stemmed from his support of the Lexington Area
Party Plan, which was a contentious issue last year be
tween students and the council.

“He’ll have to ﬁnd ways to make that University vote
more comfortable with him," Voss said.

Republican Incumbent Jeb Bush, President George W. Bush's
brother, won Florida's gubernatorial race

ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON ~ Democrats broke a 25-year Re-
publican hold on the Illinois governor‘s ofﬁce and took
back Pennsylvania Tuesday as they sought to reclaim
a majority of the nation’s executive mansions. Florida
Gov. Jeb Bush defeated Democrat Bill McBride in a
high-profile victory for the GOP.

As 36 states elected governors. one incumbent was
ousted W South Carolina Gov. Jim Hodges. a one-term
Democrat. lost to former GOP Rep. Mark Sanford.

Democrats led in GOP country of Michigan and
Kansas, while Republicans. hoping to minimize the
shrinking of their ‘ 7-21 edge. held onto New York and
Massachusetts. The GOP also led in Texas.

In Illinois. Democratic Rep. Rod Blagojevich defeat-
ed Republican Jim Ryan in a race that linked Ryan to
the scandal-tainted single term of GOP Gov. George
Ryan — no relation who chose not to seek reelection.

Pennsylvania Democrat Ed Rendell. former mayor
of Philadelphia. defeated GOP Attorney General Mike
Fisher

In a marquee race. Gov. Bush had extensive cam—
paign help from his brother. Early in the night, Presi-
dent Bush called to “congratulate him for a big victo-
ry.‘ White House press secretary Ari Fleischer said.

GOP businessman Mitt Romney defeated state Trea-
surer Shannon O‘Brien in heavily Democratic Massa-
chusetts to continue 12 years of Republican control.

New York Gov. George Pataki easily turned back a
challenge from Comptroller H. Carl McCall. the only
black ever elected to statewide office there.

In Maryland where there was another top contest.
Democratic Lt. Gov. Kathleen Kennedy Townsend was
seeking to become the first member of the Kennedy
family to serve as a governor. but lost to Republican
Rep. Bob Ehrlich.

ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Republicans recaptured Senate
seats held by conservative icons in both Carolinas and
New Hampshire while Democrats kept a once-endan-
gered seat in New Jersey as the GOP fought to wrest
control of the chamber from their Democratic rivals.

Republican Rep. John Sununu was victorious in
New Hampshire and will replace the man he defeated
in a bitter GOP primary as each party refused to relin-
quish seats that the other coveted in the battle for Sen-
ate control.

In North Carolina. Republican Elizabeth Dole won
the right to succeed the retiring Sen. Jesse Helms. bat-
ting down a challenge by Democrat Erskine Bowles.
the one-time chief of staff to President Clinton.

In South Carolina. four-term GOP Rep. Lindsey
Graham will replace outgoing Sen. Strom Thurmond
after besting Democrat Alex Sanders. the former Col—
lege of Charleston president.

For their part. Democrats held the New Jersey
seat that will be relinquished by Sen. Robert Torricelli.
who abruptly ended his campaign last month after
ethics violations seemed to end his chances of being
re—elected. Returning in his place will be Frank Laut-
enberg. who retired two years ago after an 18-year Sen-
ate career.

As America decided which party would steer the
Senate for the next two years. the Democrats held con-
trol by 50-49. including a Democratic-leaning indepen~
dent. That excludes Dean Barkley. the independent
named Monday by Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura to re-
place Wellstone for a postelection session of Congress
that begins next week.

With Republicans holding the White House and
heading toward recapturing control of the House. the
Senate seemed to stand as the Democrats‘ lone lever of
power in Washington.

Lamar Alexander. the former education secretary
and one-time Tennessee governor. was elected to the
Senate from his state, replacing GOP Sen. Fred
Thompson. who retired.

Virginia's John Warner. a Republican power on
the Senate Armed Services Committee. won his fifth
six—year term in a race in which his popularity was un»
derlined by the failure of Democrats to even field a
candidate.

ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON —— Republicans turned aside cru-
cial Democratic challenges in region after region
Tuesday and were headed toward extending their
eight-year control of the House of Representatives.

Democratic hopes of regaining the chamber
dimmed as Republicans chalked up wins or were
leading in many races earlier seen as toss-ups. Amer-
icans voted to ﬁll all 435 House seats, but only a tenth
of them were deemed to be competitive.

Democrats needed a net gain of seven seats to re-
claim the control they lost in 1994. But as returns
rolled in. it seemed likely they would miss the mark.

Republican Rep. Shelley Moore Capito won a sec-
ond term in West Virginia. defeating Democratic
challenger Jim Humphreys, a wealthy lawyer, in what
was the most expensive congressional race in the
country, with $9 million raised and spent.

Rep. Nancy Johnson, R-Conn.. defeated Rep. Jim
Maloney. D-Conn., and Rep. Charles Pickering. R-
Miss., defeated Rep. Ronnie Shows. D-Miss.

Meanwhile. in a victory that was not a surprise,
Katherine Harris, former Florida secretary of state
and a GOP heroine for her role in the 2000 presiden-
tial election. coasted to election for a House seat in
Florida representing the Sarasota area.

House Speaker Dennis Hastert. R-Ill., and Minori-
ty Leader Dick Gephardt, D-Mo., coasted to easy re-
election

GOP businessman Chris Chocola was in a Indi-
ana House district. Democratic Rep. Julia Carson won
over her GOP challenger. Brose McVey. in another In-
diana race.

In a Gulf Coast Florida race. incumbent Democ-
ratic Rep. Karen Thurmond lost her seat to Republi-
can challenger Ginny Brown-Waite.

While the president‘s party traditionally loses
seats in mid-term elections. Democrats had to buck
another trend after picking up seats in three previous
congressional elections —» in 1996, 1998 and 2000. No
party has gained seats in four successive elections
since the 19305.

ASSOCIAIED PRESS

Of four major US. Con-
gressional races in Kentucky,
three victors were Republi-
cans.

Republican US. Rep.
Anne Northup was re-elected
to a fourth term Tuesday.
again holding off an ambi»
tious challenger and defying
voter numbers in the mostly
Democratic 3rd District.

In complete but unoffi»
cial returns. Northup had
118.228 votes or 52 percent.
while Democrat Jack Con»
way had 110.846 or 48 per-
cent.

President Bush tele-
phoned Northup with con-
gratulations. which she

shared with a euphoric elec-
tion night Republican crowd.

Bush “told me to thank all of

you for caring about who you
elect into office," Northup
said.

Republican Sen. Mitch
McConnell defeated Democ»
rat Lois Combs Weinberg to
win a fourth term Tuesday.
solidifying his reputation as
one of Kentucky‘s most suc-
cessful politicians.

McConnell was armed
with a bulging campaign
fund and cited his experi~
ence in drawing a contrast
with Weinberg. whose under-
funded campaign struggled
for attention.

McConnell. first elected
on Ronald Reagan‘s coattails
in 1984. became the ﬁrst Ken»

four consecutive Senate
terms.

“Much has been accom-

done.” McConnell told jubi-

“I believed Don Pratt would have been a better voice for
the students‘ concerns of the 3rd District," said Dave Newton.

Still. some students were happy to see another name on

Students reacted to the US. Senate race between Republi-
can Mitch McConnell and Democrat Lois Combs Weinberg.

“I think tnat McConnell has good rapport. He is a good
representative." Baker said. “Weinberg didn't have a strong

Republican Ernie Fletcher’s win over independent Gate-

caused discussion.

“We would have preferred to have a better showing.“ said

It was
always
New
York, L.A.
or Philly
Nobody
was
looking
down in
Virginia,”

— Pusha T. ,
member of Clipse

Robbie Clark
STAFF WRITER

Their blunt lyrics tell of
life on the street and how they
used to hustle there. Their de-
but hip-hop album recently
went gold. They're also going
to be performing for Lexington
music fans tonight.

The rap duo Clipse is
bringing its Virginia based
sound of hip~hop from their al<
bum Lord Willin‘ to Varsity
Blue at 8 pm. The group Clipse.
produced by the Neptunes. is a
combination of brothers Gene
and Terrence Thorton. whose
stage names are Malice and
Pusha T.

“We write all our lyrics,"
Pusha T. said. “They [Nep-
tunes] put the music down."

In a time when new hip-
hop camps are challenging the
standard sounds of strict East
or West Coast performers,
Clipse's music takes on a differ-
ent mold to reﬂect their Virgin-
ian lifestyles.

“We’re coming out of Vir-
ginia," Pusha T. said. “We get
the Virginian street music
scene down.”

Coming from a region
where rap music and artists
are not normally associated
with has proved some difficult
challenges for the pair. said
Pusha T.

“It was always New York.
L.A. or Philly Nobody was
looking down in Virginia."

The rap group Clipse will perform at 8 pan. at Varsity Blue tonight.

With nobody in the music
industry paying attention to
their area. Clipse was able to
hone their own distinct style of
music, said Pusha T.

“This is our own genre.
It’s not Dirty South and it’s not
East Coast," Pusha T. said.
“Not working for a big music
label made it easy to create our
music."

Clipse’s lyrics can be
graphic in their description of
street life and often make refer-
ences to selling drugs. The
songs are autobiographical,
said Pusha T..

“This album reﬂects a time
before we joined the Arista la—
bel when we had to work the

streets," Pusha T. said. “This is
a street album with street
knowledge."

Getting Clipse to play in
Lexington was not an easy
task, said Brandon Byrd, a UK
graduate student who coordi-
nated the group‘s stop in the
Bluegrass.

“Lexington doesn't really
have anything to offer in the
urban ﬁeld."

Tonight’s concert will be
Clipse’s first time performing
in Kentucky, something the
twosome is looking forward to.

“We really appreciate the
support we‘ve received from
the South," Pusha T. said. “The
South knows how to party"

Tracy
Chapman
Let It Rain

By Elizabeth Va Kama
STAFF WRITER

Tracy Chapman re-
leased her sixth album Let
It Rain, marking another
achievement in a 15 year
career.

Once again, Chapman
impresses her audience
with laid-back beats, mel~
low tunes and great lyrics
from a voice that radiates
pureness along with sim-
plicity

Let It Rain features 12
songs that allow the listen-
er to relax and meditate,
letting all stresses fade
away into the background.
Listeners are invited to
clear their thoughts, chat
with a long lost friend or
just sit back.

In the title song listen-
ers can relate to times
when they have needed re-
assurance or support to
know that life can get bet-
ter.

In the track “Another
Sun," Chapman grooves to
an edgier, blues beat that
depicts her turning her
back and smugly walking
away from trouble.

A wide variety of mu-
sical instruments make
this album unique. Chap-
man does not rely on
shocking lyrics or ear-
shredding screams to get
her words and feelings
across.

Instead she scatters
such instruments as a clar-
inet. piano, organ, violin,
ukulele, cello and acoustic
guitar throughout the mu-
Sic.

Music Reviews

“You’re the One" uses
hand claps and a tam-
bourine to reassure her
prospective partner that he
is the one despite what oth-
er people may say.

In “Say Hallelujah” lis-
teners can join in the
gospel-like rhythm, clap
their hands and snap their
ﬁngers to the beat.

Chapman’s mesmeriz-
ing voice remains clear
and understandable
throughout the album.
Lyrics are easy to under-
stand, and relate to prob-
lems or situations that lis-
teners may encounter or
think about each day. The
words Chapman croons
linger in your head hours
after listening instead of
just being forgotten.

Chapman keeps listen—

ers in an emotionally
charged album.

For those who already
love Chapman. then Let It
Rain will not be a disap-
pointment. Fans will once
again be satisﬁed.

For those who have
never listened to Chap
man, they will become en-
tranced by its simplistic
lyrics which create an in-
tense emotional trip and
forever remain timeless.

Kings of MAC Tourne
defend soccer dynasty

Three and counting: Cats seeking
fourth straight MAC Championship

By Alex Williams

STAFF WRITER

Senior captain JD. Stephenson
gathered the UK men‘s soccer team into
a huddle at practice this week.

He gave the team a pep talk to re-
mind them how important the upcom—
ing weekend is.

It‘s the last chance for the Cats as
they attempt to accomplish a feat no
other Mid-American Conference team
has done: win four straight conference
tournament championships.

And if Stephenson has anything to
do with it, the practice won't be the
team's last.

The Cats have an impressive 8-0
record in the last three conference tour-
naments and would like no more than
to earn a fourth MAC title and NCAA
tournament berth.

Coach lan Collins said the team has
battled adversity all season. and despite
its 9-8-0 regular season record still has the
talent to rewrite the record books.

“It‘s been a strange year," Collins
said. “But the beauty of this tourna
ment is that we can move
