Fun, prizes, everything you ever want-

above all, free food, are just some of the
advantages to participating in UK Book-

Campus Quest is a scavenger hunt
that sends students all over campus. The
idea for Campus Quest was born a year
ago, replacing the Student Development
Council’s Oozeball, a mud volleyball
tournament that was sacked due to liabil—

Apart from the free food and fun offered at Cam—

ceeds earned from the team donations, $7 per mem-
ber, go towards an endowment fund that provides
two students with leadership scholarships given by
the Student Development Council.
Applications for the scholarships will be available
in the spring. l‘iach scholarship will be $1,000.
Campus Quest is sponsored by the UK Book—

Parking improvements may
relieve commuter headaches
By Brandy Carter
Contributing Writer
Tension is building on the faces of frus-
trated drivers all over the Lexington Cam-
pus as students, faculty and sta circle the
ots searching for a arking space.
“It’s terrible. here is absolutel no
parking on campus,” said undeclared esh-
man Leann Coleman.
To help improve the parking problem,
the UK Parking and Transportation Ser-
vices Office is re airing old structures and
building new ar 'ng facilities.
A new par 'ng structure is being built
next to Kennedy’s Book Store.
The multi—level ara e is expected to be
completed the wee ongec. 13. The new
arking structure will contain 1,024 spaces
or visitors, students, and employees.
Another lot has already been construct-
ed behind the Gluck Equine Building off of
Nicholasville Road.
Despite the efforts of the UK Parking
Office, students and facul still complain
that change is coming too 5 owly.
“Parking is inadequate on campus, both
for students and visitors,” said undeclared
freshman Kim Carter.
There are currently 15,000 parking
spaces on campus. The number of parking
permits is current] unknown as permits
are still being issued‘.’
To cover costs of new parking facilities
and maintenance of existing structures, the
UK Parking Office is in the middle of a
five—year increase in permit prices.
Prior to the five-year increase, employ-
ees with A Permits paid $72 dollars a year
and students with B permits paid $48.
Commuters and students parking in K-
Lot paid $40 dollars a year.
Parking permits make up 78 percent of
the total parking budget with student per—
mit fees creatin the most revenue for the
Parking Office. E‘ines make up an addition-
al 1 1 percent, and visitor arking con-
tributes 9 percent to the total bud et.
Auxiliary Services, Physical P ant Divi-
sion and Central Administration also con-
tribute to the Parking and Transportation
Office’s projects when their budget falls
short of project costs.
Repaving Huguelet Drive and R-Lot
behind Commonwealth Stadium are some
recent im rovements.
The I‘fiiguelet parking facility provides
more spaces for employees.
UK Administration and PPD are con-
tinually re-evaluating which lots are in the
most need of repair.
“I’m happy with the progress we’re mak-
ing. We do 10 times the work now than we
did 1 1 years ago,” said Don Thornton,
director of parking and transportation ser-
vices. Access control devices have been
installed at Lexin on Community College
to keep violators om taking other people’s
parking spaces.
“We pay $110 for a sign that says 24
hour control, it needs to be controlled 24
hours,” said elementary education senior
Katrina Palmer.
The number of available 3 aces near the
residence halls is constantly eing evaluat-
ed b arking control officers.

[mm Students can
register to vote today
As election day draws closer students will have
increased chances to register to vote.
'l‘oday, students can register at the Complex
Commons and Blazer Hall lobbies from 2 to 6
pm. Students do not need to be a Kentucky resi—
dent to register. When a student registers they
must use a Fayette County or campus address.
However, if a student is registered in their
home county or state and they register on campus,
the previous registration will be canceled.
Once a student registers, they will receive a
notice in the mail, which lists the precinct name
and voting location address. The polls will be
open from (1 am. to 6 pm.

House attempts override
VVASHINC'I‘ON — Scoring a big win for
anti-abortion forces, the House voted yesterday to
override President Clinton's veto of a bill that
bans a form oflate—tcrm abortion.
The ap iarent lack of sufficient support in the
Senate ma 'es it unlikely that the attempt to over-
turn the veto of the so-called partial-birth abor-
tion bill will succeed.
However, the House vote sent a message that
the issue will not be ignored in the presidential
campaign.
W'hen Clinton vetoed the bill in April, sur-
rounded by five wome’n who had undergone the
procedure, be criticized the legislation b saying it
“does not allow women to protect t emselves
from serious threats to their health."
The 285-137 vote was four more than the two-
thirds needed for an override in the House.
Seventy Democrats joined 215 Republicans to
support revival of the bill, which would ban a ro—
cedure —— generally performed in the t ird
trimester - in which the fetus is partly delivered
through the birth canal before being killed.

llllPPEll "P Freshman midfielder Lee Baker tries to stop an opponent’s quest for the ball during a game earlier thir season.
Wildcats ready 10 take 011 louisville
Collins looking
for more deszre
By Jill Erwin
StaffWrirer
“It was the worst performance
I’ve seen in my three years here,"
was the only comment UK men’s
soccer coach Ian Collins could
muster about Sunday’s loss to
Bradley.
Thoroughly disappointed in his
team’s, Collins said they looked
flat and played with no intelli—
gence.
“We played so poorly on Sun-
day,” Collins said. “Just as I
thought we were starting to come
together, we took a step back, and
now it’s up to the players to take
another step forward.
“The players that want to step
up, and the players that want to be
successful, they’ll step to the fore—
front. Those that don’t have the
desire, or the necessary attributes
to be successful, will fall by the
wayside.”
With Louisville and Belmont
visiting this weekend, UK needs to
move past Sunday and focus on
the future.
U of L comes to the Cage today
at 5 p.m., with Belmont playing
Sunday at 2 pm.
Louisville has a new coach,
Tony Colavecchia, and the Cardi-
nals (4—3) have already won more
games this year than they did last
year.
They are led in scoring by
senior Jason Richards, who
already has 12 shots on goal and
has scored 12 points.
The Cards also have an
enforcer by the name of Chad
Johnson. The freshman midfielder
has picked up three yellow cards in
seven games.
“They’re playing with a lot of
emotion, and a lot of heart,”
Collins said. “They’re going to
want to win the game very badly,
and we’ve got to make sure we
match that.”
Following Sunday’s game, the
Cats have been through a rough
week of practice.
This past Wednesday’s game
against Marshall was canceled due
to bad weather, which gave the
team an extra day off.
Collins is hoping that his team
will play intelligently to negate the
emotion of U of L. He is cautious
of letting the Cardinals get ahead
and get comfortable. '
“If you let an emotional team
get confidence, that emotion
steamrolls until it becomes like a
juggernaut,” Collins said.
“We can’t et caught up into an
emotional rol er-coaster ride.”
The Cats’ on—field leaders need
to ensure that UK stays within its
game plan.
Greg Lobring and Tab
McComas communicate well wit
their teammates, but that effort
needs to be stepped up when play-
ing a team like Louisville, which
feeds off opponents’ mistakes.
“Players determine the wins
and losses,” Collins said. “It’s time
for our team to show some leader-
ship, and this weekend is going to
be a real test.”
Belmont heads into town on
Sunday for the alumni game. The
Bruins are struggiin with a 0-3
record, but with goo reason. The
team has just begun competing in
Division I.
The Bruins are a young team
that is trying to find its chemistry
against more experienced teams.
Led by second—year coach Ron-
nie Littlejohn and junior midfield-
er/team captain Scott Buriey, they
are looking not only for their first
win, but also a little respect.
llll up tor first Michigan matches
By Rob Herbst
Ammm Spom Editor
After five days of rest and with
a 1—1 conference record, the UK
women’s soccer team makes a
journey out of conference this
weekend to Michigan.
UK will take on the University
of Detroit this afternoon and play
the Michigan Wolverines on Sun-
dav.
The Cats came off a disap-
pointing loss to preseason confer-
ence favorite Florida last Friday,
but regrou ed for a 2—0 win
against Sout Carolina.
This will be the first meeting
between UK and either of the
Michigan schools. Last season,
Detroit went 15-5 while the
\Voiverines went 7-11-2 and fin-
ished seventh in the Big 10 confer-
ence.
Although it will he the Cats’
first look at the schools, UK does
not seem concerned that they will
be surprised.
“You are always going to have
problems when you face a team
that you have never faced before,”
UK head coach Warren Lipka
said. “So you just make adjust-
ments after that to their style of
pla .”
IIIK senior defender Kim Bucci
added, “We‘ve never seen these
girls play. We don't know what
moves they make, how fast they
are or how strong they are. So it
takes that first fifteen minutes fig—
uring out what they are doing.”
What UK does know is that
Detroit is on a roll.
Detroit (3-2) has won two ofits
last three with wins over Michigan
State and Xavier. The Titans also
took the nation’s No. 17 team in
the nation, Wisconsin, to over-
time.
Lipka and the Cats have to be
ready for a quick Titan team.
“They’re a very fast team and a
very hard-working team,” Li ka
said. “The have a couple of or-
wards up Kont who are very fast
and can get behind people.”
One of those fast forwards is
sophomore Monica Kaltreider.
She has scored four goals from 12
shots in onl five games.
When {1K travels to Ann
Arbor, Mich., on Sunda , the Cats
face another team who as played
well lately.
Michigan (3-1) dropped its first
game of the season to Butler, but
they have won three straight
ames over Wright State, Eastern
idichigan and Toledo. What is
impressive is that the combined
goal margin for the three victories
was 14—1.
But Michigan is a Streaky team
that can play great or look awful.
“Michi an is a very young team
and they have a lot of young tal-
ent,” Lipka said. “At any time they

The UK football team heads
into tomorrow night’s game
against Indiana hoping to repeat
the events of Sept. 17, 1995.
On that day, the Wildcats
brought a 0-2 record and a 12-
game losing streak, which was the
nation’s longest at that time, into
IU’s Memorial Stadium. Thanks
in part to the running of Moe
Wi liams and a 42-yard touch-
down by Billy Jack Haskins, UK
reclaimed the “Bourbon Barrel”
with a l7~10 victo .
History has a c ance to repeat
itself when the two teams meet up
at 7 p.m. at Commonwealth Stadi-
um.
The Cats (0-2) have been lack-
luster at best in their first games
against Louisville and Cincinnati,
managing a Division l-A worst
358 yards of offense. On defense,
UK has given up an average of
303.5 yards to two opponents who
have gone 0-4 against everybody
else except UK.
But with an 0 en date between
the 24-3 loss to incinnati and the
upcoming game against the
Hoosiers, the Cats have been able
to work on some areas that needed
the most attention.
“I don’t think I need to tell any-
body about the volume and extent
of work that has been re uired and
it will continue,” said K Coach
Bill Curry. “We made good
progress in the areas that needed
pro ess.”
urry also said it is time for the
Cats to grow up as a football team,
and to quit making youthful mis-
takes during games.
“We have some very very
young players that have been
thrown into the fray that are now
starting to get a feel for the reality
that we simply cannot afford to
perform like a young team,” Curry
said, “and make mistakes that take
us out of ames.”
The Hoosiers finished 1995
with a 2-9 mark, and they have
equaled their win total from a year
ago in their first two games of this
season after wins over Toledo and
Miami (Ohio).
“Indiana and Coach (Bill) Mal—
lory have gotten themselves back
on track after a tough time last
year,” Curry said. “But what peo-
ple forgot is that even in the midst
of their tough season, they played
great defense.”
However, what Indiana really
hangs its hat on is tailback Alex
Smith.
Smith, a junior, has gained 311
yards thus far in 1996, desgite
missing most of the second alf
against Toledo when he bruised
his chest after being hit out of
bounds.
He’s health again, which could
be bad news or UK. As a fresh—
man, Smith ran all over the Wild-
cat defense to the tune of 221
{ards in a 59-29 Hoosier drub-
ing. Despite the injuries that
plagued Smith last year, Curry
sees no change in the tailback.
“He looks the same to me every
year,” he said. “He’s a terrific
player. I’ve said that since he was a
freshman and I still feel that. He’s
a hard-nosed layer who comes at
you full-speedp every play.”
One of the areas in which the
Cats were successful last year
against IU was in shutting down
the passing me. Indiana uarter-
back Chris ittoe was 7-0 -23 for
59 yards a ainst UK, sacked six
times, and had eight passes batted
down at the line of scrimmage.

Thus far, Dittoe has taken the majority of
the snaps for the Hoosiers, throwing for 263
yards in their two wins. Rodgers, on the
other hand, has completed all five passes he
has thrown for 62 yards.
Like the situation between Billy Jack
Haskins and Tim Couch at UK, the two IU
players have been rotated in and out of the
game.
Last Saturday against Miami (Ohio), Dit-
toe played almost the entire game, with
Rod ers being inserted in the game late in
the ftg)urth quarter.
“I think both of them together give us a
good combination there; they complement
each other. We’ll definitely use Rodgers a
little more,” Mallory said.
Indiana can make a claim as Mid—Ameri—

two victories this season have come at the
hands of MAC teams.

snapped a 12-game losing streak tor the Wildcats. which was the nation’s
longest in Division 1-A football at that time.

I considered watching the UK-Indiana game for a
very short period of time. Perhaps two seconds,
maybe less, just long enough for me to spy CBS’

' That game pits the two of the five best teams in
America against each other in the nation’s largest col—

In diametric opposition to the excellent play
exhibited by UT and UF, we are presented
with the Cats.
After watching UK pla its first two games

The Sooners had most of that.
The Cats have little of that.
50 UK fans wonder —— as do I —- why on earth the
Cats run the option. The establishment of a running
game is certainly important to any football team’s
offensive scheme. Otherwise, the defense knows
what’s coming. But above all, you have to play
to your strengths.
The option made sense last year. The offen—
sive line was experienced. They were able to
provide the blocking that makes the play run
properly.
UK also had a great tailback in Moe
Virilliams. He was quick and able to bounce off
tackles and get extra ards. Opposing defenses

It was OU’s entire offensive scheme. They
ran it and ran it and ran it until it seemed like a
job. Clock in, clock out. Snap ball, run wide.
The Sooners enjoyed a lot of success with that one
play — the triple option.
According to my OU Wishbone 101 class, which

eraery elements.
First of all, ou need speedy guards and tackles that
can make blocks. When I think ofa prototypical line-

The thing is — the current situation doesn’t
have to be this miserable. UK landed the best
prospect the nation had to offer last year in Tim
Couch. .
On Dec. 23, the day Couch announced his inten-
tion to sign with Big Blue, I entertained visions ofa
pass-crazed quarterback leading the Cats in a passing
offense that rivaled the San Diego Chargers’ early
‘805 teams. I knew it wasn’t the Curry/Uzelac philoso—
phy, but it fed my desire to see — warning: oxymoron

At Cincinnati two weeks ago, I instead see the
greatest passer in high school history running off-
tackle into a pack of linebackers who have spent weeks
praying for a chance to decapitate a young pup like
Tim Couch. Why?
There is no answer. There is no apparent logic.
At a time like this, when things can’t really get
worse, you have to go back to the asics —~ work the
problem.
Key roblem: young and inexperienced offensive
line unable to open holes for running backs.
Solution: pass, pass, pass. Pass the ball from the
field goal formation if it will give Couch time to
throw.
There are ways to deal with weak offensive lines.
VVith pass blocking, the lineman can concede ground
to the defensive line and still be effective. If Couch
can run a roll—out, and the line can slow down the
defensive charge, he may have enough time to find a
receiver.
I just want to watch some quality football and until
further notice, it won’t be in Commonwealth Stadi-
um.
This week’s matchup between UK and IU is again
being billed as a “must-win” for Head Coach Bill
Curry.
I’m sick of must-wins.
When a matchup between two basketball Schools
whose football teams are struggling to make .500
becomes a job—clincher, it’s a sign A sign for me to
watch the UT-UF game.

young talent tomorrow

If youth is king, then UK’s cross country
team should rule.
Both the women’s and men’s squads return
this season with plenty of young talent; each
team has only one senior.
After only three to four weeks of training,
Coach jim Kaiser is eager to see how his teams
fare when they travel to Bowling Green on Sat-
urday for the Track Legends Classic.
“This first meet will be a good test for us in
the sense of finding out how far we are, and
start making training plans for the next few
weeks leading to the Southeastern Conference
championships,” Kaiser said.
Kaiser foresees both teams doing well this
weekend, and he said the meet at B
