Million Man
memories

A/ehnt gives perspective

By Chris Padgett
Staff” 'ritet'

Na’im Akbar brought his perspective of the Mil—
lion Man March to campus last night.

“The Million Man March was an opportunity for
the junkies, the plumbers, the doctors, the doctored,
the AIDS victims, the AIDS researchers, the teachers
and the leaders to cotne together and shock America
by showing that the scheme against people of color
has failed," Akbar said.

Akbar pointed out that many tried unsuccessfully
to veil and hide the purpose of the meeting in \Vash—
ington on October 16.

“The very fact that the media had to pull out and
parade on CBS, NBC, C. IN, ABC, Time and
Neu'm‘eek a few people like Gary Franks of New Jer-
sey and a bunch of black people that I have never
seen or heard to say that “this gathering was strange”
goes to show that this march will one day he seen as a
pivotal turning point in American history.

Akbar brought down Memorial Hall when he
shared a joke about Associate Supreme Courtjustice
Clarence Thomas.

“Rumor has it that Clarence Thomas' phone was
ringing off the hook on the day of the march," Akbar
said.

“Thomas might be a fool but he's not a damn fool
— he has enough sense to keep his mouth shut __-
he’s in enough trouble already."

Thomas Manceney, an undeclared student, said
that he was spellbound by Akbar’s commentary on
race relations and Afrocentricity.

“It just goes to show me that all of the racism and
prejudice that I have lived with all my life is sotne of
the most despicable behavior known to man,"
Manceney said.

“It makes me question why a society that is (iod—

fearing would take part in such horrible actions of

bigotry towards one another."

Many different people of many different colors
had converged at Memorial Hall last night to hear
the words and wisdom of Akbar, who is known as a
world-renown orator and preeminent black psychol—
oglst.

Akbar, who has lectured at tnore than 300 colleges
and universities, stirred the audience with his take on
America and the state of race relations.

Alt‘lwr last night.

Kentucky State University and the University of
Cincinnati were in attendance.

Hundreds of UK students were in attendance.

“1 am interested in what he has to say and how his
lecture will impact the campus," said Cynthia Ras—
nick, a Russian junior.

Akbar, one ofthe first to take the African-centered
approach to modern psychology opened his presen—
tation with a warning.

“\Vhenever we come together, we do church. You
may be here because of academic cohersion ~— but
very soon you will realize your attendance here is for
a very different reason."

Akbar spoke utilizing humorous anecdotes and
wit, often bringing the audience to its feet in thun-
derous applause.

Akbar concluded that America is at a pivotal point
in its history with race relations.

“\Ve now know what we have done and what we
can do," Akbar said.

“The challenge for the carriers at the dawn of the
21st century is to demonstrate to the world that not
only have we done the impossible in charting the
course for all of humanity, repeatedly in the past, but
also we are now taking it as our imperative for the
people of Africa to once again bring a change to all
humanity."

lor Crush

By Chris Adams

Contributing ll 'riter

The stakes will be high when UK battles
the University ofTennessee this year. But
the most im ortant fighi will not be on the
football fielt .

UK and the Central Kentucky Blood
Center hope to keep their winning streak
alive when the annual UK-UT blood drive
takes place Nov. 13—17.

The Blue-Orange Trophy goes to the
university that donates the most pints of
blood during the week.

Last year’s goal for the Bi Blue Crush
was 2,200 pints and UK endectl’up donating
2,263 pints, which made the race for the
trophy extremely close.

CKBC community relations consultant
Marsha Berry said that UK escaped with a
close victory, winning by just 33 pints.

“\Ve set a realistic goal of 2,400 pints
this year," Berry said.

The new goal this year will require
more participations from students and fac—
ulty. UK and CKBC are hoping for the
success like they had in 1993, where UK
alone donated 2,700 pints.

This year's blood drive will take lace at
six locations across campus for stu ents to
donate. The only requirements for stu-
dents to give is to be 17 or older, be in

getting involved in the blood drive this
year including the greek community and
the Residence Hall Association.

The RNA is offering a free pizza to the
floor in any residence hall that donates the
most blood. Those living in the residence
halls on South Campus can give blood at
the Commons on Tuesday and Wednesday
between I p.m. and 8 p.m.

()n Monda in 206 Student Center,
donations will e accepted between 10 a.m.
and 6 p.m. \Vhile students are giving, they
will be entertained by a live broadcast of
the newest radio station in Lexington,
105.3 FM.

Greeks, who help stir up donations with
their own competition, once again will
make a big contribution to the 1995 blood
drive.

Earl Wright, an agricultural engineer-
ing junior, said that in the past greeks have
donated at FamiHouse.

This year, however, greeks are encour—
aged to give at the Commons on Tuesday
and \Vednesday. The overall biggest con-
tributor within the greek community will
be recognized.

For students who are not a part of the
greek community and do not live on catn-
pus, the Student Government Association
is holding a blood drive at Memorial Coli-
seum on Tuesday between 10 a.m. and 6
p.m. The drive is held to help increase the
supply of blood for Thanksgiving.

Snow plows, brooms, shovels
and tractors are the wea ions of
choice as the Physical Plant
Department arms itself for win—
ter's challenge.

The snowstorm that swept
thorough Kentucky in 1994 has
the PPD on its toes. They have
already made preparations for
what the season may bring.

So far, they have purchased
five trucks capable of handling
snowplows and six tractors to
clear university roads.

PPD workers will also play a
key role in removing snow and
ice from sidewalks, making it safe
for students to get to their desti—
nations. The aim is to keep the
doors open.

"\Ve never really close the
university because there are so
many operations that have to
continue," said joseph Burch,
vice president for university rela-
tions. “We operate under the
assumption that providing our
students with a college education
is important to them."

Burch, the person who decides

whether classes are canceled,
works in conjunction with ['K
Police and the local government
to make his decision.

Other factors taken into coli—
sideration for closing are whether
the local bus system will operate
and if Lexington government and
businesses are open.

He said that when classes are
held under adverse weather con—
ditions, faculty and staff must
report to work and that their
safety and responsibility is left up
to them. The decision w ill be
made before 63.111.

UK holds a much higher stan—
dard than public schools when
deciding whether to cancel class-
es because UK students are older,
while most public school children
must ride buses. Burch said about
50 percent of UK's students live
on or near campus.

Residence halls and food ser»
vices are tWo sectors that remain
open during the academic year
and the hospital and UK patrol-
men work year round. To l heck
if UK has canceled classes, stu<
dents, faculty and staffshould call
the UK Infoline at 25735684 aml

Could the Student Government Association be
the Grinch who stole Christmas?

Some students say they could be if funding for
coed service fraternity Alpha Phi ()mega's Christmas
party for underprivileged children of Lexington is
not passed, but senators complain that the bill's
sponsor are not giving them enough infonnation.

The appropriations of revenue committee of the
SGA passed the bill with a unfavorable recommenda—
tion. The bill will go to a vote next Wednesday.

“The form of the bill was inappropriate," said

Kevin Kidd, chairman of the appropriations of rev-
enue committee. “It didn't give a detailed list of
expenditures.”

For the past four years Alpha Phi Omega has
sponsored a Christmas party for underprivileged
children in Lexington. The party, held at the Lexing-
ton Children's Museum, consists of 50—60 children
receiving a $15 to $20 gift and a $10 party pack,
which contains basic hygiene articles and a small toy.
The children also have a dinner, meet with Santa and
tour the museum, Maddox said.

The reason why Alpha Phi Omega approached
the SGA for funds is because of their support last
year. SGA also has sponsored other community ser—

 

selves, but there‘s no way we can come up with the
money to cover it ourselves,” Maddox said.

Kidd said even though they passed it with a unfa-
vorably doesn’t mean they are unsympathetic. He
said this bill should set the precedent.

“I think this bill will be a marker for other bills, so
that other bills that are brought to the appropriations
board are more thorough, complete and better writ-
ten.”

Though it was passed unfavorably, both sides
think that it will pass.

“If the bill is made more complete, it should pass,"
Kidd said.

“Right now I'm hoping, praying and waiting,"
Maddox said.

Budget getting closer to Clinton

VVASHINGT( )N ~ \\'ith a potential federal
default and government shutdown at stake,
Congress toiled over a pair of budget bills yester-
day and lurched ever closer to a jolting veto show-
down with President Clinton.

A day after the House approved legislation that
would provide stopgap funds for government agen—
cies through Dec. 1, the Senate adopted the mea—
sure by 50—46 after softening House-approved
reins on lobbying by many federally aided private
groups.

The House voted 237-]94 for another bill
extending federal borrowing authority through
Dec. 12. Capping a marathon day, the Senate
approved that measure by 49—47, and shipped it
back to the House after voting by voice to remove

The House was expected to accept the Senate
version of both measures and ship them to the

l.()S A.\'(il{l.l<‘.S ~ Prosecutor Marcia Clark

A threevday, eight-way bidding war ended when
Penguin USA won worldwide rights to Clark's
unwritten, untitled book about the trial to be pub
lished next fall.

“Viking Penguin shares my vision for the cre»
ation of a book of quality and depth and I am
delighted to enter into this project." Clark said in a
statement.

She did not comment on the value of the con~
tract, and Viking described it as a “multimillion"
dollar deal. Two people close to the negotiations,
speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed the
sale was for $4.2 million.

It was not known how much ofthe money she
would receive in advance.

One by one, Burkhead places the barrel of his
gun between their eyes and pulls the trigger. The
carcasses ofthe unwanted, stray dogs soon pile up
in a nearby pit for burial.

Burkhead, the county dog warden, and other
officials say shooting (logs instead of putting them
to death with gas or by injection comes down to
money.

Calvin and llolilics leaving the comics

KANSAS CITY, Mo. _. Calvin and Hobbes,
the terrible tyke and his sidekick tiger, will be
retired front the funny pages on Dec. 31.

In a letter to newspaper editors yesterday, car~
toonist Bill \Vatterson said the decision to end the
strip was not a recent or easy decision.

“I believe I've done what I can do within the
constraints of dail . deadlines and small panels,"
\Vatterson said in t 6 letter. “I am eager to work at
a more thoughtful pace, with fewer artistic com—
promises."

“Calvin and Hobbes" hit the comic pages in
1986 and entertained millions with the antics a 6-
year-old boy and a not—so-stuffed tiger.

The letter featured a drawing of the two cartoon
characters getting kicked out a door. The two bud-
dies are shown clutching each other as they fly
through the air, leaving a trail of stars.

Rip‘l‘i'dcs November 95

.s.

By Stephen Trimble

Senior Stu/f ll ’i‘itei'

Molly Dreisbach's shadow
seems to be slipping away from
UK’s volleyball team as Coach
Fran Ralston—Flory looks for
someone else to step out and shine.

It's odd to think Dreisbach, a
senior outside hitter and one of the
\"ildcats‘ most statistically-
adorned players ever, is ebbing her
effort this season. After all, she will
probably surpass UK’s all-time
kills record against Tennessee this
weekend.

As of last week, Dreisbach was
ranked ninth in the NCAA for kills
per game (4.97). She's racked up
1,632 career swats in 4,078
attempts (an all-time record),
which makes Dreisbach 25 kills
shy of Lisa Boltovoy’s all-time
record of 1,657 kills.

But UK's team (ti-~15 overall, 5—
7 Southeastern Conference) is
nearing the end ofa disappointing
season, and Ralston-Flory is rein—
ing in Dreisbach's offense in hope
of finding a future star.

Sophomore outside hitter Cyn-
thia Dozier and freshman outside
hitter l.a'l‘anya \Vebb, who each
have shined and struggled at dif-
fei‘ent points this season, will get
more shots at the ball against a
youthful 'l‘cnnessee team (7—23
overall, (HZ) tonight at Memorial
Coliseum and Sunday in
Knoxville.

Senior Mara Egliu's is switching
positions from middle blocker to
outside hitter to make room for
freshman Jenny Muzzey and
sophomore Tracy Thompson,
who Ralston—Flory said has finally
recovered from a year—old knee
injury.

“Jenny and Tracy are our future
middle blockers, and we have to
put them out there on the court
and have them get some experi—
ence," Ralston-Flory said.

The volleyball team is wading
through a two—year rebuilding prov
ject after losing a talented class of
seniors in 1993 that finished 29—4.
Last year, the \Vildcats finished
13-21.

After a promising 6‘1 start
against SEC opponents early this
season, the Cats have lost seven
matches in a row, dropping the last
against Louisville 8-15, 10—15, 11—
15 \‘l'ednesday night.

Throughout the .slide, Dreis—
bach’s numbers slipped while the
team continually failed to capital-
ize after building early leads.

“Molly's a team player," Ral—
ston—Flory said. “She's frustrated
that her senior year is ending on a
losing note.”

()n Senior Day, UK dropped a
two—games-to-none lead and lost
to South Carolina. The match
ended the same as many others.
UK looked good early but fell
apart along the way.

“We could be up with any team

and not know how to finish." said
Dozier after practice yesterday.
Next year, without a star like
Dreisbach being counted on to
carry the team, every player will

have to step up physically and
mentally, she said.

“\Ve're going to have to find a
way for ourselves to win." Dozier
said.

Analyzing the LR women's basketball
team this season is like staring at an empty
canvas and trying to find a Picasso.

The elements for this portrait are assem—
bled but the design is still mostly in the
imagination of the artist, new coach
Bernadette Locke—Mattox said.

“This year we are absolutely very young
and very inexperienced," Locke Mam )X said.

Six freshmen, including two walk—ons,
sprinkle across a roster that lists just two
seniors and four sophomores as upperclass—
men.

Only one of the above players, senior
Christina Jansen, averaged more than [3
minutes a game last season for a team that
finished with a 14—14 record.

But even the upperclassmen feel they've
started from scratch this season as everyone
has had to adapt to Locke-Mattox's up—
tempo, full-court press style. Last year's
coach, Sharon Fanning used a more conscr—
vative half-court style ofplay.

“It‘s totally different,” sophomore for-
ward Shaunda Roberts said. “You can't real—
ly compare the two."

Roberts' three—point shooting should ele—
vate her role in Locke-Mattox's system,
which is modeled after UK men's coach

ButJansen said she and the other players
have welcomed Locke-Mattox's style of play,
and that has helped them in practice.

“lt‘s easier to learn when you like what
you're doing,"Jansen said.

She's feeling another kind of pressure —
