Habitat
llOllSO Will
take shape

Company ’s donation

helps family in need

By Annie Gillespie
Staff Writer

Plans are solid for the buildin of a Habitat for
Humanity house in Lexington this summer. The
manufacturing company, Square D, has a reed to
donate $43,000 and volunteers to build a house in
the Lexington area.

“We are absolutely delighted that Square D has

volunteered their services,” said Maryjo Votruba,
executive director for Habitat for Humanity in Ken-
tucky. .
Square D is part of the Angel Network, begun by
the “Oprah \Vinfrey Show" to promote and support
Habitat programs across the country. Votruba said
because Oprah is showing her concern, others will
realize the importance of the program.

“The awareness that will occur from her show
will be important to encourage other organizations
to become involved," Votruba said.

Randy Smith, Human Resources director of
Square D in Lexington, said although the Oprah
Show was not the reason they had decided to build
the house, the show was a vehicle to make the
announcement.

“This project was initiated by Square D," Smith
said. “Square D chose to build a house in Lexington,
and we are excited to start the project.”

Votruba said she hopes the support from compa-
nies like Square D will encourage others companies
in the area to donate time or materials. She said the
organization is planning many new projects in Lex-
ington, including building 10- 15 houses this spring.

Joan Hembree, who owns 3 Habitat for Humani-
ty house in Berea, Ky., beamed when she found out
she was chosen to receive a house.

“I didn’t know whether to scream or what, but
tears just streamed,” Hetnbree said. “Ordinarily we
would have never been able to obtain our own
home."

Hembrce, who moved into her house injune said
that although she put in her “sweat equity,” she
planned on continuing to work on other Habitat for
Humanity homes.

“I‘ll be volunteering my time to help other Habi-
tat families” Hembree said. “It isn’t because I have
to, it’s because I’ve seen what other people have
done for us.”

Habitat for Humanity International was started
in the 19705 with the goal of providing affordable
housing to low-income families.

Money is raised or donated to attain the supplies
and the land to build the house, and volunteers con-
tribute their time and labor to the completion of the
house.

Habitat does not give out houses as charity. Fam-
ilies in need of a home are selected on terms of their
financial situation, their living conditions, and their
“character and integrity,” according to the group's
motto.

Once selected, the prospective homeowners must
put in what is called “sweat equity.” This means they
are required to invest 400-500 hours helping on
Habitat projects before they are complete owners of
the house. _

The owners then pay an interest free mortgage
on the house, and their house payments go toward
funding another house.

Habitat for Humanity could not function without
the help of com mics and volunteers to offer su -
plies. money an manpower. Square D is an examp e
of a compan that is a long-time supporter of the

Habitat for unrnity program. S

Fraternity spends night
in park to help homeless

By Ellen Lord
Staff Vl'riter

Ron Anthony and Cory
Blakey aren’t homeless.

But they and more than
half of the Phi Beta Sigma
fraternity s cm Saturday
night pretcn in they were.

“We feel if t e homeless
can do it every night, we can
do one night," said Antho-
ny, a business management
and marketing senior who
has participated in the event

for four years.

The Sigmas spent the
40—degree night at Triangle
Park downtown collecting
food, clothing and money
for the Lexington homeless.
Grilled hot dogs, sleeping
bags and tents were all they
had to keep warm.

“It's a pretty good learn-
ing experience,” said Blakey,
a business management
senior and communi ser—
vice chairman of the friater-
nity. “Actually. this is the

warmest it’s been."

Ten to 15 members of
the fraternity attended the
sleepout, and seven spent
the entire night out in the
cold, Anthony said.

“We try to stay out here
all night," said fraternity
adviser and UK graduate
\Villie jones.

In the past, the annual
Sigma Sleepover for the
Homeless took place outside
Haggin Hall. a freshman
residence building, btit cam-
pus groups complained to
the administration that the
Sigmas were holding a social
event after hours.

““’e will prove to them
we are a leading community

service organization," said
Blakey. who said some stu-
dents from the hall came out
to participate last year.

Dr. Elizabeth Case has worn thick
glasses since she was 12.

“I couldn't see the E. on the eye
chart,” said the first- car resident in
family practice at the cdical Center.
“Everything was just a blur.”

She was nearly blind to anything
peripherally. She couldn't see when

she swam. And she had trouble keep-
in her glasses and contacts comfort-
ab e and out-of-thc-way when she was
in surgery.

But life became more clear for
Case on Oct. 16, when she received
LASIK sur cry, or laser-assisted
intrastroma keratomileusis, a laser
surgery that corrects near-sighted-
ness by altering the curvature of the
cornea, causing imaggs to better hit

the retina.

The sur cry, led b' UK ophthal-
mologist Igr. John (ylonklin, lasted
about 30 minutes, and Case saw results
overnight.

Nearly blind. even with her glasses,
after the sur e ,'Casc went home and
went to be . The next morning she
woke up and looked at the clock.

“Oh, it's seven o‘clock," she told
herself. “Wait a secqnd "

“My big dream in life was to be able
to wake tip and see the alarm clock,” she
said, her eyes wide and bright.

Conklin likened the surge to “lift-
ing the hatch on a submarine because
doctors make a cut with an oscillating
blade in the outer layer of the cornea,
called the epithelium, allowing a flap,
the hatch, to fonn. '

After the hatch is lifted, the doctor

l/Vz'ldcats to face

fl'ont—courtforce

in powerful GW
\‘mfl: 21'er report;

LAIIAINA, Hawaii — Four
years ago, Arizona lost the Maui
Invitational championship game to
UK on a last-second shot.

Arizona coach Lute Olson still
looks at the disappointing loss as
11110 of the foundation blocks to the
\I'ildcats winning the national
championship last season.

“I think our guys went in not
knowing how good they might
become," he sai yesterda '.

“liven though we lost that
game, I still think it was the most
pivotal game we had all year, until
the NCAA toumament."

The perpetuation of that mind—
50! was culminated with the hoist-
mg of the championship trophy last
season at the RCA Dome in Indi-
:mapolis.

Ironically, the Wildcats beat
Kentucky _i_p overtime in the title
game.

i As defending national champi—
')n. it's going to be different this
time for Arizona.

The Maui Invitational field is
loaded with powerful teams,
including .\'o. 3 Duke and No. 9
Kentucky

Olson is taking a philosophical
approach this time.

Coach Tubby Smith, who
replaced Rick Pitino at UK, is tak-
ing a low-key approach to the
three-day, eight-team tournament.

“\Ve're still trying to get an
identity,” Smith said.

“Anytime you take over a team.
it’s going to take some time. But
this (the Maui Invitational) is the
place to do it. If you want to find an
identity, you’re going to find it in a
hurry.”

After an 88—49 opening night
win over Morehead State last week,
the Cats showed their confidence
in both their offense — shootin 63
percent from the field — andgon
the defensive side of the ball ——
notching a school-record 17
blocks.

“I think (the barrage of blocks)
has a lot to do with our intensity
and our will to want to go up there
and block and stop the other team’s
offense," UK center Jamaal
Magloire, who swatted five balls
against MSU, said. “Defense leads
to a lot of good things - and
defense will play a big role (in
Maui)“

The Cats face George Washing-
ton (2-0) in the first round of the
tournament tonight at 9:30 p.m.
The Colonials rel heavily on the
inside game of 7- ooter Alexander
Koul, who was thought by many to
become an NBA lottery pick by the
end ofthis, his senior season.

lolloyliall loss: In second round

After defeating Mississippi
State Friday morning to advance
to the second round of the South-
eastern Conference Tournament
for the first time since 1994, the
UK volleyball team fell to No. 4
Florida in three games, 15 -4, 15-
6, 15-7 Friday night in Athens,
Ga.

The regular season champion
Gators (29-1), who lost to
Arkansas in the tournament final,
out-hit the Wildcats .404 to .087
behind 14 kills apiece from Aury-
mar Rodriguez and Jenny Manz.
UF recorded 18 block assists to
UK’s six, while blasting 57 kills to
Big Blue’s 25.

“Our blocking was not very
effective tonight (a ainst Flori—
da),” UK head coacfi Fran Flory
said. “I thought that would be the
difference heading into this

match, but we did a poor job ser-
iflaige receiving and never got that

Earlier in the day, UK downed
Mississippi State in four games,
15-12, 15-11, 7-15, 15-6. The
Cats, who out-hit the Bulldogs
.228 to .158, were led in the match
by outside hitter LaTanya Webb’s
match-best .432 hitting efficiency,
which yielded 25 kills.

UK wraps up its season at
Houston later this week.

The UK gymnastics team
signed two recruits, Jessie Lemp
and Jennifer Simmons, to national
letters of intent, Coach Leah Lit-
tle announced Friday.

f‘This is definitely a major step
toward becoming a national pow-

“Their com etition ex erience

Lemp and Simmons are'gym-

My neck still hurts from fol-

Scarier.

The UT quarterback said it
was the first time in his career that
one of his games billed as a quar—
terback duel lived up to its hype.

Scariest.

There is no higher compliment
for Couch or Mumme.

Tennessee will clinch Man-
ning's first SEC Eastern Division
crown when the Vols beat Van-
derbilt next week. And a win over
Auburn in the SEC Champi-
onship would put the UT in posi-
tion to play Nebraska at the
Orange Bowl.

The Big Orange are where
Mumme and Couch want to be.
Watching the way Tennessee

 

molded its talent to compliment
its star passer was a glimpse of
what might be.

And lookin out at a record
Commonwealt crowd of 61,076
was an image of the level of sup-
port that already is.

But alas, the inaugural Air Raid
is ended.

Despite a newfound will to
win and a scheme to get it done,
the Cats fell just short of a bowl
at 5-6.

Injuries, mistakes and a lack of
depth plagued this team on the
brink.

But they will be back. And bet-
ter than ever.

Because a man named Mumme
breathed life into a program left
for dead.

Because he inherited a quarter-
back named Couch. Because UK’s
new system is drawing recruits in
droves. Because the team believes.
Because we do too.

Next season will be a break—
through for UK. With an influx of
new talent and a hunger that
comes with being so close, the
Cats will find a way to win. And
soon, bowl talk will shift from if to
which one.

Thank ou coach.

b0 es ended
it er defeat

By Price Atkinson

Senior Staff ll ’riter

It resembled a sandlot scuffle.

It was a four- uarter bout that
didn’t end until 3w siren sounded
for the final verdict.

In the end, the scoreboard at
Commonwealth Stadium
declared a decision favoring the
orange corner.

Trading offensive shots, one
after another, Tennessee quarter-
back Peyton Manning delivered
most the of the blows as the Vols
landed a 59-31 victory.

The loss ended the Cats' sto-
ried 1997 season just short of ful—
filling their team goal set back in
August obtaining a postseason
bowl game.

“Our seniors are disappoint-
ed," UK head coach llal Mumme
said. “It's not like when a family
member dies but it's pretty
close.”

\Vhat (lid not disappoint the
record crowd of 61,076 in the
battle for the beer barrel is the
highly anticipated Manning-Tim
Couch matchup.

In what was the ultimate
offensive gala, the two Heisman
Trophy candidates totaled 999
yards through the air and 1,229
yards of total offense combined
between both teams.

For Couch, the only number
that matters is the one on the
scoreboard that ended the (Zats’
(5-6, 2-6 Southeastern Confer-
ence) season.

“I wanted this game really bad,
especially for our seniors,” Couch
said after thr’owing for a career—
high 476 yards on 35 of 50
attempts to break Danny VVuerf—
fel’s SEC record for passing yards
in a season.

“They’ve been in this program
a long time and took a lot of
whippings from Tennessee so we
really wanted to send them out
on a good note and unfortunate-
ly, we couldn’t do that tonight.”

Manning also notched a career
high as the senior torched a UK
defense, that committed to sto —
ping the Vols' running game, l:
completing 25 of 35 passes for a
whopping 523 yards and five
touchdowns.

UT wide receiver Marcus
Nash corralled seven Manning
passes for 195 yards and three
touchdowns.

Two Nash scoring receptions
in the first half gave UT (9—1, 6—1
SEC) 3 24-21 halftime lead after
the (Eats struck first on their
opening possession.

However, it was UK receiver
Kio Sanford that kept the (Eats
close early when he broke the
reception that will surely land the
top spot on the year’s highlight
reel.

Trailing 17—7 and the ball
spotted at the UK 13 yard-line,
Couch found Sanford wide right
on first—and—IO with the screen
pass and the senior was deter-
mined to make something hap-
pen.

Sanford cut to the middle of
the field and eluded three Vol
defenders then raced down the

Seniors honored, returners
urged to continue progress

The magic carpet ride took
the L’K football team far from
its troubled past and near the
future.

Fourteen UK seniors fin-
islied their Big Blue career Sat—
urday but willed a solid core for
next year's team to build on.

“I think we laid the founda—
tion fora lot ofthings to happen
here," senior defensive end
Bamidele Ali said.

“If we won some games earli—
er on the season that we should
have won. we‘d be in a bowl
right now so the (returning
players) know how close they
are and the seniors have helped
them build that."

The games Ali referred to are
the Cats~ narrow losses to Mis-
sissippi State. Smith (Iarolina
and Georgia, all of which were
on the road.

Mumme said in the locker
room following the Cats 59—31
loss to Tennessee, he “wished
the seniors well” but warned the
returning players that hard
work during the winter helps
the team achieve season goals
like playing in a bowl game.

“I told them that the off-sea—
son was gonna start real quick,"
Mumme said. “1 think if you

look on a few plays here and
there. they could probably reach
the goals that tbcy sci for them—
selves so it ought to make them
work a little harder."

The first-year coach said he
is encouraged by his team's
competitive performances
against many of the Southeast —
ern Conference‘s best teams
over the course of the year.

A major difference is the .itti--
rude going into several games
this year )_\' expecting to “ill‘
even against annual SIX: pow»
erhouscs Florida and 'l en-
nessec.

“\‘VeK-e made a stable pro
gram here that we can recruit to
and that we can build .I Clidllipb
onship program on." Mumme
said of the rebirth of tlic L‘K
football program.

“I think there‘s some people
sitting tip and taking a look that
Kentucky's a good place and we
can be a force in football in the
Sl’C."

“K tobacco research gets new partner

By Matthew May
Smfl' ll 'nm'

The L'K Tobacco and Health
Research lnstitute has signed an
agreement with United Agri Prod—
ucts to give the Texas agriculture
company the right to use L'K’s
genetic research to enhance the
seeds of soybeans and other crops.

The agreement will allow L'nit-
ed :\gri Products exclusive rights
to use technology the institute is
now working on in its products. In
return the institute will receive
funding for continued research.

.Vlaelor Davies, director of the
institute, said he is excited about
the deal and that the agreement
will benefit both parties, though

he would not disclose the amount
of money the institute will et.

“The research leads to t e abil-
ity to make genetically engineered
crop plants, which helps compa—
nies like UAP improve plant seeds
and other things,” Davies said. “In
return, we et money to continue
our researc , but more im ortant—
