Adam Mowbray, an economics and political science sophomore. contemplated the amount of candy before he entered his guess in the contest in
which someone will win a basketball autographed by former NBA star Michael Jordan and used in last year's championship.

Playing with Jordan
as simple as 1-2-3

SGA contest will award
quality prize to best guesser

By Brandi Belcher
STAFF WRITER

Students who have always wanted
something autographed by Michael Jor—
dan now have the opportunity they‘ve
been waiting for.

The Student Government Association
is holding an estimation contest. in which
students pay $2 to guess how much candy
the Tub o' Tooth Decay contains. The per-
son who guesses the closest will win a 1998
NBA Championship basketball auto—
graphed by Jordan. said SGA President
Nate Brown.

Money collected from the contest will
be donated to the Cleveland Home in Ver-
sailles. and used to fund a mentoring pro-
gram for the girls there. he said.

"The house isn't receiving any fund-
ing from the state anymore." SGA Sen.
Samantha Mullinix said.

The Cleveland Home is a home for
girls who were in troubled or abusive rela-
tionships with men or their families. The
girls are cut off from male contact at the
home. said SGA's Fundsraising Coordina-

tor Andrew Howden, who proposed the
candy count.

Money raised from the candy count
will fund a mentoring program to help
prepare the girls for real-life situations af-
ter they've left the home.

“A male mentoring program with piz-
za parties. skating ~ just something in a
group atmosphere would help the girls
learn to trust and not be afraid of men."
said Amanda Whorley. a social work
sophomore.

SGA obtained an autographed bas-
ketball through Howden‘s contacts at his
job. Howden sent a letter to Jordan ex-
plaining the Cleveland Home. and Jor-
dan offered the autographed basketball.

Jordan may match the money donated
by students. Brown said.

The basketball is valued at $4.000.
SGA decided on the estimation contest
rather than just auctioning off the ball to
get more people involved in the project.
he said.

“We wanted to give all students the
opportunity to contribute to the cause
and to win the prize. rather than simply
one. wealthy. philanthropic fan.“ Brown
said.

SGA is planning on helping other or-
ganizations in the future. They hope to

start a bigger community effort. and get
students involved Howden said.

Students can see the tub from 11
am. to 1:30 pm. until March 26 at the
UK Student Center patio. from :3 pin. to
8 pm. today in the Blazer Hall (‘ourt‘
yard; from 5 pin. to 8 pm. Wednesday
and Thursday in the Commons Market;

Pulling rank: Law, nursing programs crack
top 50 in magazine's college rankings

By Mark Vanderhoff
cums EDITOR _

Three UK colleges are
ranked among the best gradu-
ate schools in America. ac-
cording to US. News and
World Report‘s latest annual
education issue.

The College of Law broke
into the top 50 in a poll taken
this year. while the College of

ranked this year. moving UK
to 50th place and out of an at
phabetical ranking for schools
ranked 51st through 90th. said
Dean Robert Schwemm.

“We‘ve never exactly
known how close we were (to
the top 50). but now we‘re just
in it.“ he said.

The rankings for the na-
tion's 175 accredited law
schools use criteria involving
admission tests and bar exams.
grade-point averages. graduate
employment rates. funding and
a survey of the schools‘ reputa-
tions. according to the report.

The law school's excel-
lence in those areas means a
lot to university as a whole.
said Drusilla Bakert. associate
dean of the College of Law.

“if you look. you will not
ﬁnd a top-20 school that does
not have a top law school."

Carolyn Williams. dean of
the College of Nursing. said the
ranking of individual pro»
grams is consistent with UK's
goal to become a top~20 public
research institution.

The College of Nursing
wants to go higher. though.
“We want to go up and up and
up." she said. “it‘s good. but
not good enough."

The better a program is. the
more talent and funding it will
attract. and that creates value
not only for the school, but for
the community. she said.

The nursing profession
constantly changes. and for
colleges to remain competitive.
they have to be on the cutting
edge. she said.

“We’re always trying to im-
prove." she said. “We have to
recruit excellent faculty. keep
productive faculty and enhance
the quality of academic life."

The pharmacy school has
mastered that concept.

“We have a fairly long his-
tory of doing the best job and

having innovative programs."
said William Lubawy. dean of
the College of Pharmacy.

Schools like the University
of Texas-Austin and Southern
California. which surpass UK's
pharmacy school ranking in
the (18. News report. have
much higher enrollements
than UK. said (‘arol (iiiinnop.
editorial otiicer for the (‘ollege
of Pharmacy. "And that really
says a lot." she said.

UT-Austin ranks 17th
among national public univer-
sities. according to (KS. News"
report.

UK‘s nursing program also
keeps company with many
larger universities in the top
30. and competes with about
400 other nursing programs.

The colleges of Pharmacy.
Law and Nursing are a model
for the rest of l’K. Wethington
said. “We believe that to move
to top-20 status. we need to fo-
cus on colleges and programs
that have been able to receive
rm‘ognition already."

fines in
UK case

Jury votes guilty on serving
to minors, other charges

By Michael Downs
gamma ’ “7"

.lim Haney. owner of a Lexington
tavern frequented by l'K football play»
ers. ended his trial in Fayette Circuit
Court yesterday by being convicted of
three of the eight counts he was
charged with.

The state charged Haney with three
counts of serving alcohol to minors and
five counts of serving alcohol after
hours He was found guilty on two
counts of serving alcohol to minors and
one count of servmg alcohol after hours.

Haney was issued a fine of $250 for
each charge for a total of $750. plus court
costs.

The charges against Haney stem
from an incident on Nov. 6. when prose-
cutors say he brought Jason Watts and
three other UK students into his home
and served them alcohol.

Before delivering their closing state
ment. defense attorney David Van Horn
made two motions.

First. he asked for a mistrial because
of testimony delivered by the prosecu‘
tion's last witness. Van Horn argued the
testimony was irrelevant information in-
tended to preiudice the jury against the
defense. He then asked the judge to issue
a directed verdict because. "the proof in
favor of James
Haney is as strong.
if not stronger.
than the proof
against him." Van
Horn said.

UK saying no
to tax proposal

By Pat Clorn

ASSISiANi tints fDiiOR

UK faculty and staff
may soon be paying more
money to the city. The Lex-
ingtonvli‘ayette Urban Coun—
ty Council is been dis-
cussing ways of collecting
taxes from money going into
UK employee's retirement
funds.

Currently. all full-time
regular faculty and staff
who are over 30 years old
and have worked for the
University for more than a
year are required to put 5
percent of their salary into
a retirement plan. Any
money put in by the em-
ployee is tax-free and the
University puts in twice as
much as each employee in
matching funds.

“The city wants in on
the action." said Joe Burch.
vice president for l‘niversity
Relations. “We developed
this program 30 years ago in
such a way that our lawyers
said we didn't have to pay
taXes on it. and the city
agreed. Now they want the
money.”

The system is set up in
such a way that because it
is mandatory and the em«
ployees never see it until
they withdraw it. it can
not be considered taxable
income.

This makes it exempt
from the city‘s occupational
and licensing fee ordinance.
Burch said. "The dispute is
whether or not these earn—

ings are considered salary."

The council thinks the
issue is one of fairness. “I
don’t know of anyone else
who is not paying this tax."
said Fred Brown. 8th District
councilman. “1 pay it, too."

Brown is the council-
man who pointed out to the
rest of the council that noth~
ing was coming of the age-
old debate.

“I just got the ball
rolling again.“ he said.

The tax would take 2.75
percent on all money going
into the retirement funds.
adding up to about $650000
a year. less than one-half of
1 percent of Lexington‘s to-
tal operating budget. Burch
said.

UK President Charles
Wethington is opposed to
this tax. Brown said.

“I guess he feels that
since UK is a government
institution it should not be
taxed." he said. “But all
government workers pay
this tax."

Wethington was un-
available for comment. But
apparently. he isn't the only
one opposed.

Russ Williams. the staff
representative on the UK
Board of Trustees. is upset
with the idea of taxing this
money.

“The University opin-
ion has always been that
this is not income. and not
taxable." Williams said.
“People have been emailing
me all kinds of letters."

Whole new

The participants: Duke Blue Devils lead an
entirely new Final Four group in Florida this
weekend with NCAA Championship on the line

By Matt May
SPORTSDAILY EDITOR

ST. LOUIS ~~ The teams
are solidified. Now all that‘s
left in the 1999 NCAA Tourna-
ment are three games and a
crown for the soon-to-be na-
tional champion.

Here‘s a look back at the
other three regional ﬁnals:

. West Region ,. (1) Connecticut
67. (10) Gonzaga 62

Gonzaga. the darling of the
tournament. had Connecticut
right where they wanted them.
The Bulldogs led 41-37 midway
through the second half in
Phoenix. a veteran and gutsy
Huskies team took for their ﬁrst
ever trip to the Final Four.

UConn (32-2) pulled ahead
63-59. but an off-balance three
by Gonzaga’s Quentin Hall cut
the lead to 63-62 with 35 seconds
remaining. UConn point guard
Khalid El-Amin connected on
two free throws. then watched
as the Bulldogs‘ Matt Santange-
lo threw up a running. off-bal-
ance leaner with under 10 sec-
onds to play. The Huskies re-
bounded and added two more
free throws for the ﬁnal margin.

Connecticut was led by
Richard Hamilton's 21 points
and Kevin Freeman‘s 13 points
and 15 rebounds. The Huskies
won despite an 0-for-12 shooting
performance from El-Amin and
an 0-for-9 outing from beyond
the arc.

The three was also unkind to
Gonzaga. which had used the
bomb to upset Minnesota. Stan-
ford and Florida on its way to the
Elite Eight. The Bulldogs shot
only Sfor.21 from long range.

For UConn. the trip to St.
Petersburg. Fla. will be a new
experience, as the Huskies fi-
nally overcame a decade of dis-
appointment to crack that elu-
sive Final Four barrier.

South Region ('1) Ohio State
77. (3) St. John‘ s 74

The Buckeyes. coming off
of a year last season that saw
them win only one Big Ten
Conference game and finish last
in the conference. upset a St.
John‘s team that may have
been playing the best basketball
of any team outside Duke.

Ohio State opened up a 13»
point second-half lead before
a Red Storm rally. fueled by
missed Buckeye free throws.
gave Buckeye Head Coach
Jim O'Brien some anxious
moments.

Leading 73-67 with a
minute left. Ohio State couldn't
convert its free throws and St.
John's used the opportunity to
get within 76-74 with just 12 sec»
onds remaining. Red Storm
freshman Erick Barkley. who
ﬁnished with 13 points and 7 as-
sists. began a drive to the bas-
ket but inexplicably lost the
handle on the ball. which was
scooped up by Ohio State‘ s
Michael Redd. So ended the
Johnnies chance of setting up a
showdown with conference-ri-
val UConn in the Final Four.

Ohio State (27-8) was led by
its stellar backcourt of Scoonie
Penn. who had 22 points and 8
assists. and Redd. who finished
with 20 points and 6 rebounds.
The two also combined to make
six of 10 three-point shots.

For St. John's. the loss end-
ed a terrific season of its own

ST. LOUIS ., When
seniors Scott Padgett.
Heshimu Evans and
Wayne Turner peeled
off their UK jerseys last
night after their Mid-
west Regional tourna-
ment loss to Michigan
State. they peeled off
four years of unprece-
dented success.

UK's 28 wins this
season gave the pro-
gram 132 victories in
the last four years.
which ties the Cats‘ na»
tional records for wins
in a four-year span set
by the previous four UK
teams. 1995-98.

in the last four
years. UK has averaged
33 wins and 4.8 losses.

All of those records
are a mouthful. But UK
Coach Tubby Smith can
credit the success easi-
ly: UK seniors.

“These guys have
been a part of all the
success," Smith said af-
ter UK‘s 73-66 loss.
“They have all had just
remarkable careers.“

Turner played in
four Final Fours in his
four years at UK. Dur-
ing the tournament. he
eclipsed Duke's Christ-
ian Laettner‘s record for
most college games
played.

Everyone knows the
ﬂunk out to honor roll
story of Padgett, who

made the All-Region
Tournament team. He
led the Cats in scoring
in two of their four tour-
nament games, includ'
ing a career-high 29
points against Kansas in
the second round. He hit
big-time shots in games
against such powers as
Duke and Kansas.

He was numb Sun~
day night. But he was
thankful.

“Winning the cham-
pionship last year." Pati-
gett described as his fa-
vorite thing in four
years of playing basket-
ball. “We're in one of
the winningest stretches
in college basketball in
four years. But right
now l'm not really
thinking about that."

Evans, a transfer
from Manhattan who
sat out a year. was an
emotional spark plug
for a team that had
more than its share of
disappointment this
year.

“I‘m still proud of
my team and what
we've done today." he
said.

But the torch has
been passed and the se-
niors move on.

They said they are
confident it is being
passed on to the right
people.

“it was passed down
to us.“ Padgett said ear
lier this week. “And we
did our best to pass it on
