After an hour and a half of bickering and fighting
over amendments to an amendment, the Student
Government Association decided to call it the night.

Last night, the SGA tabled an amendment which
would reallocate senate seats.

The amendment would have elected one college
senator for every 1,400 students enrolled within that
college. Every college would have at least one sena-
tor, and the amendment would have gone into effect
this spring. The amendment would add three sena-
tor seats to the College of Arts and Sciences and
three seats to graduate students.

“I know the common needs are met, but I don’t
know their specific needs,” said amendment sponsor
graduate student senator Michael Tomblyn

Tomblyn’s amendment would have re-evaluated

the number of senate seats every four years accord—
ing to the most recent college population statistics
from the Office of the Registrar.

To keep the amount of senators the same,
Tomblyn’s amendment would have reduced
the amount of senators at large and the
number of freshman senator seats.

The senate debate became the focus for
much of the evening.

“I feel this bill will hurt the people who
work the hardest on campus ,” said Senator
at large Will Terwort as he defended the
number of senator at large seats. Freshman
Senator Rachel Bomberger defended having four
freshman senators.

“As freshman, we need as much help as we can
et, and I don’t think two senators is enough,”
omberger said. Following discussion of the pro—

posal, an amendment was put on the floor to change
Tomblyn’s amendment to include four freshman

senators, increasing the original amount of SGA sen—

ning o a barrage of changes suggested to amend the
amendment.

One change to the amendment would
have concentrated on simply the amount
ofgraduate student seats since College of
Arts and Sciences senator Scott Coovert
did not attend the meeting.

But after an hour and a halfof arguing

SGA back and forth, senators decided it was
best to table the amendment for the next

”"rk’ meeting.

Rows and rows of trucks and
vans fill the parking lot at the Lex-
ington Farmers Market.

Vendors from nearby counties
proudly display their home-grown
produce and other goods, while
customers gather around to see
what kinds of treats they can buy
this week.

Ruby red and golden yellow
apples adorn some tables, with
multi-colored varieties of corn
gracing others.

Autumn is here, and the people

of Lexington are taking advantage'

of the local goods whi e they still
can.

Janet Eaton has only been
bringin her peppers to the farm-
ers mar et since August.

She picked this market because
of the number of customers that it
draws.

“I live over in Jessamine coun-

ty, so it’s convenient,” said Eaton.
“The customers are here, it’s just
a matter of coming.”

Whereas Eaton has only been
coming to the market for a few
months, other vendors have been
coming for years.

Jane O’Tiernan, who sells cut
flowers and herbs, has been bring—
ing her products to the market for
seven ears.

“T 6 Lexington Farmers Mar-
ket is the best market in the state,"
said O’Tiernan.

“It’s the bi gest market, its got
consistently t e most customers,
and I live in Madison County, so
it’s real close.”

Even though the market draws
a lot of customers, the number of
students who visit is relatively low.

Vendors said they get students
occasionally, but not as often as
other customers.

"K Aeromed teams lly With danger

 

' an um";
um III ohn , flight grands}, a
patient report ' g at t UK M Center.

I I. .

 

By Ben Alias
On-line Editor

The look on Maggie Morris’ face conveyed the
solemn truth of her statement. Her words were
stern, yet spoken with her heart.

“Stupidity is what causes most of our calls,” Mor-
ris said, s eaking of the emotional stress of her job
as a Flig t Nurse with UK’s Aeromedical Heli-
copter Service. “The ones that get to me are the kids
not strapped in their seat belt; the kid shot by mom
or dad.”

And as she finished her sentence, the radio —
which had been silent long enough to give Morris
and her partner, John Isfort, a chance to eat — dis-
patched the duo to their next flight. This was a flight
that would get to Maggie, since an infant had been
assaulted.

On the flight back to UK’s Chandler Medical
Center, Morris talked to Isfort about the child's
predicament. Looking at their faces, brightened
only by the setting sun which had now turned the
once endless blue skies into an orange glow, one
could sell that they wish they were never called.

But for the men and women of this vital service,
the chance to help gives the satisfaction of assisting
others.

For the 22 fli ht nurses and flight paramedics
with Aeromed, K's Medical Helicopter Service,
the job contains many situations most people

5

 

couldn’t stomach. One minute teams can be work-
ing on paperwork or catching up on sleep, and with-
in 10 minutes they’re in the air and on their way to a
hospital or scene within a 150 mile radius of Lexing-
ton.

Flight paramedic Dennis Robertson agreed with
Morris.

“The situations we find are bad enough, but
when there’s some intent, it adds an emotional
side,” he said.

To Robertson, who has been with the program
since its inception, the intent is the part that hurts.

“We can usually take fate -— car versus tree —
but the element of intent adds an additional emo-
tional load.”

Yet they continue to do their job with the effi-
ciency and tranquillity that few could replicate.

Accordin to Robertson, the emotional aspect of
flights is pus ed aside until the patient is out of their
care.

“When you are required to function,” he said,
“the more emotional things are submerged.”

Due to their condition, most patients never see
this side of the crew. In order for Aeromed to be
called a transport must be absolutely necessary.

They also hear very little from the caregivers.
Between the roar of the engine and the fact that
there is little verbal communication between the
flight nurse and paramedic, the ride seems silent.

NATION Purdue student
kills sell, dorm counselor

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. _ A shotgun—
wielding Purdue Universi freshman killed a
dorm supervisor yesterday w 0 had turned him in
on a cocaine charge, then took his own life as
police closed in. According to reports, Jarrod
Allan Eskew, 18, of Crawfordsville, walked into
Wiley Hall, a four—story, red brick men’s dormito—
ry housing mostly freshmen.

He entered the third-floor room ofJay Sever-
son, a 27-year-old graduate student from Fair
Oaks, and shot him twice.

“I just heard a big, loud blast. And then I heard
what sounded like something droppin ,” said
freshman Kevin France, who lives on tfie floor
above. “It was so loud, I could feel the floor shak-
ing.”

Eskew then ran down the hall, locked himself
in his room and shot himself, Purdue spokesman
Joe Bennett said.

Police evacuated the building and, after a
room-by-room sweep, fired tear gas into the
room, burst in and discovered Eskew’s body.

University spokeswoman Ellen Rantz said Sev-
erson had found cocaine in the Eskew’s possession
on Tuesday and alerted campus police, who
searched his room and confirmed the drug posses—

Social Seculrty benefits going up

WASHINGTON — Social Security benefits
for 44 million Americans will go up 2.9 percent
next year, marking the fifth straight year of mod-
est increases in the government’s biggest benefit
program.

The change will mean an extra $21 for the
avera e Social Security recipient, increasing the
monthly check to $745. Social Security cost of liv-
ing adjustments in the 19905 have been rising at
the slowest pace since Congress made the increas-
es automatic 23 years ago.

Advocates for the elderly warned yesterday that
even these moderate annual increases could be
threatened if government budget-balancers pro-
ceed with roposals to cut them by about one-
third on t e ground that the Consumer Price
Index is overstating inflation.

“A loss of that magnitude would permanently

lunge millions of older people — particularly
lbng-surviving women — into poverty as they
age,” said Horace B. Deets, executive director of
the American Association of Retired People.

Horace B. Deets, executive director of the
American Association of Retired People, said that
for one out of four beneficiaries Social Security is
their only source of income, and a 1 percentage
point cut would mean over 10 years a $5,000 cut
in average benefits.

m Britain to Dan ownership ol nuns

LONDON —— In res onse to the massacre of
16 children in a Scottis school last spring, the
government announced plans yesterday to ban
almost all public ownership of hand guns.

But parents of the victims say the proposals are
not tough enough. They want all guns banned ——
no exceptions.

Home Secretary Michael Howard said Britain
will introduce legislation prohibiting members of
the public from owning any handgun above .32
caliber. Even .22 caliber handguns will have to be
kept at licensed gun clubs.

Gun enthusiasts protest that the are being
“demonized” for the act of a lone ki ler. But the
Dunblane parents, backed by the opposition
Labor Party, demand a complete ban.

“We have argued all along that this is an issue
on which there must be no compromise,” the vic-
tims’ parents said in a statement.

Jobless rate lowest slnca1877

FRANKFORT, Ky. — Kentucky’s unemploy—
ment rate took its historic rise in September, but
still remained the lowest for the month since
1977.

The September rate of 4.5 percent was up from
the 4.2 percent rate in August and well below the
rate of 5.3 percent in September 1995.

Kentucky’s unem loyment rate has gone up in
September in 12 of e last 13 years.

The number of employed Kentuckians fell
3,152 in September to 1,782,865. At the same
time, the number of unemployed rose and the
number of people in the labor force also increased.

Wildcats unfriendly hosts tor Miami

By Jill Erwin
Staff IVrim

UK pla ed so well in the first 30 minutes
Of yesterday’s victory over Miami (Ohio)
that coach Ian Collins called it a “clinic.”

“1 don’t think they (Miami) touched the
ball in the first 30 minutes,” Collins said of
the Cats’ 3—2 victo .

UK opened up {he game with a goal from
Toby McComas just over nine minutes into
the game. The oal came off a double assist
fromJed Boswe l and Sean Endicott.

“The guy didn’t track me real well,"
McComas said. “Sean fed me the ball, and I
was able to get it into the net."

The assist moved Endicott into a tie for
second place on the all time list. He’s also
two away from tying the single season team
record of nine assists. McComas’ five shots
moved him past Brian Dausman into second
place on the all—time shot list.

“We were just trying to feed off of Satur-
day’s game,” McComas said. “We played
with a lot ofheart and desire.”

The Wildcats got their second double
assist goal about 15 minutes later when
freshman Chris Villamil scored off assists
from Lee Baker and Brien Baltzell. Miami’s
goalkeeper, Whitney Gibson, came out of
the goal after the ball and Villamil put it in
past him.

Following that goal, UK sunk into one of
its signature slumps. “There was a fifteen
minute lull at the end of the first half,”
Collins said. “There was a serious lack of
concentration.”

It was during this stretch that the Red-
skins scored their first goal. At the 34:29
mark, Miami’s Steve Cole scored when he

 

put the ball into the right comer of the net.

Followin a shortened halftime due to the
oncoming arkness, the game became a bit
more intense. Four minutes into the second
half, Miami’s Russ Kiefer tied the game
when David Muse left the UK goal open and
Kiefer or it past him.

At that point, things got intense. There
were two yellow cards within a minute and a
half that led to an incident in the box.

A mix-up on the far side of the field led to
a free kick for UK, and as everyone was
packing into the box for the shot, some
pushing and shoving occurred.

“I noticed they were beating and kicking
Jamie (Schuer), and I tried to break it up,
and I got called for a foul,” Endicott said.
“But I’m not going to just stand there and let
that happen.”

After temperatures cooled down, the
Wildcats heated up. The intensity of the

 

beginning of the game returned, and Endi-
cott scored from 12 yards out to give UK the
game-winning oal.

He dribble from around midfield and
evaded two defenders before sticking it in
past the MU goalie.

It was the Cats’ first victory in October,
and it came as a relief to Collins.

“It’s always good to look up at the score-
board and see that you have more than the
opponents,” he said.

On a separate note, the rumors of the
Cage’s demise were greatly exaggerated.
The final game was not yesterday, as previ—
ously reported, but this Sunday against
Western Michigan. The team will be safely
at home in the new stadium for Thursday’s
game against non-conference opponent
Indiana.

The UK Cycling Club will be
hosting the National Collegiate
Bike Championships this Saturday
at Ski Butler.

With help from Mid—West

 

Gomulinski and Ski Butler presi-
dent Rich Mathews, the UK
Cycling Club will be hosting the
third annual competition. It will
be the first time this event will be
held east of the Mississippi River.
“Having the competition in the

el out west a chance to compete,”
Gomulinski said.

For the two previous years the
National Championships have
been held out west in California
and Colorado, which made it tOO
expensive for cyclists from the east
to compete.

“There is a big difference in the
trails at Butler and the ones out
west,” Gomulinski said. “The But-
ler trails should be a great equaliz—
er for riders from this area.”

Gomulinski explained that fac-
tors such as the high altitude and
the wide and smooth trails in pre-
vious competitions created a slight
advantage for the riders from the
west.

“This year the riders used to
riding in normal altitudes and
tight, rocky trails will have an
a vantage,” He said.

The competition will be filled
with riders certified by the
National Collegiate Cycling Asso—
ciation. The NCCA allows both
amateurs and professionals to
compete as long as the rider is a
full-time student at his or her col-
lege.

“Varsity programs, who can
afford to lure professionals to their
programs, have an advantage over
club teams like UK,” Gomulinski
said.

The only varsity cycling pro-
gram in Kentucky is at Lindsey

Wilson College.

The UK cycling team is plan-
nin to do well at the Champi—
ons ips.

“Everyone is lookin to do
their best,” club mem er and
geograph senior Tom Neb said.

he K team has had a few top
20 individual finishes during the
season and both Neb and
Gomulinski believe that there is a
good chance for a few during this
weekend’s events.

This is the third year the
cyclin club has been together.
Since Being what Neb called “very
disor anized” two years ago, the
club Ens consistently competed in
a definite cling season.

The clgb has two separate divi—
sions -— road and mountain. Some
riders com etc in both classes, but
the club has 10 mountain-only
riders.

In order to compete, the club
must raise money by hosting races
and finding sponsors. Then the
University matches the funds
raised by the club, up to an $800
amount.

Accordin to Gomulinski, even
thou h the niversity is sponsor-
ing t e event, the club and himself
had to rel mainly on sponsors for
the nee ed expenses for the
Cham ionships.

“VJ: have had to get sponsors
such as Fazoli’s restaurant and
Giant Bicycles,” Gomulinski said.
“Because the University hasn’t
been that enthusiastic as we are.”

let's recognize some accomplishments
from the first hall of the football season

s the UK football team heads
m to the midpoint of the [996

season, it is time to look back
on the first six games and handout
a few (and I mean a few) accolades
for the team as it heads toward the
stretch run.

VGame of the year: For very
obvious reasons, the (Lats' 3-0 win
over lndiana takes this honor.
What did yoti think I was roing to
pick, the 65-0 debacle at l“ orida?

VHalf of the year: This one is
UK's 7-7 tie against then-No. l3
Alabama in 'l‘uscaloosa, or the 14-
3 lead which the Cats held over
South Carolina just last Saturday.

VQuarter of the year: The 7-
0 first quarter lead over archrival
Louisville seemed to he a si n of
things to come for the VVil cats.
Unfortunately for Big Blue fans,
the blocked punt at the end of that
quarter more accurately signified
what was in the cards for UK in
1996.

VPlay of the year: Yes, fresh-
man 'l‘iin (Iouch has made a few
extraordinary plays so far, but the

lay of the season has to be Brian
liihnson’s 26-yard field goal to

give the (Iats the win over the
lloosiers. (Iouch’s plays have been
nice, but Johnson's did win
the game for UK.

VMost Valuable
Player: Since every team
seems to need one ofthese,
I guess I have to give the
iiod to punter jimmy
(Iarter.

weren't good enough to earn an
award, but do deserve some recog-
nition in this space.

set up Johnson's game—winning

On the negative side. there
were several things which the (Iats
did that need to be mentioned just
for their sheer stupidity.

hate to witness (:arter‘s punts getv

And what about those three
yard screen passes on third—and-
long: ;\nd then there is the (iats‘
offense, the nation's worst.

There were many more bad

All-time leading scorer Still the best

By Rob Herbs!

.‘l tritium Sporty Editor

Most adults at the age of 35
aren’t exactly drinking (ieritol,
but then again, most don‘t decide
to enter the ranks of professional
basketball in the United States.

But the career leader in points
at UK will debut in the American
Basketball League this Saturday.

It will be her first ever regular
season game as a professional in
America.

Valerie Still, who scored 2,765
as a (lat and is the all~tiine leading
rcboundcr at UK, will don the
navy, maroon and gold of the
(,olumbus Quest.

The Quest are a team in the
American Basketball League, a
new women's basketball league
ready for its debut season.

Before signing with the Quest,
Still played seven seasons in
l‘iurope and she met her husband
there —— former UK men’s player
Rob Lock.

Still did not play basketball last
year and she thought that her bas-
ketball days were done.

“Rob and I both decided that
we would retire and we made a
pact," Still said. “I guess I didn’t

keep my end of the deal."

Still has adversities to over—
come ifslie is going to be success—
ful in the league.

There are not many rookies at
the age of 35 and there aren’t
man basketball players who were
in labor only eight months ago.

Still gave birth to Aaron Still
Lock on lieb. 7, 1096.

“It's really different for me now
because along with Aaron, my age
doesn‘t help any." Still said.

“Not being in shape doesn't
help L'lllltl, lriit l hadn‘t planned
on doing this and rolling the
team."

The biggest obstacle Still had
to overcome “as her footwear.

Because she hadn’t played in
two years and she didn't think she
had a chance in making the team,
Still didn't have any basketball
Shoes.

On the way to her tryout Still
bought a pair ofshoes.

“\Nhen l went out there for the
try-out, I thought l had a terrible
performance," Still said. “But
apparently the coach saw some—
thing that he liked in me.”

What the Quest's head coach
Brian Agler must have liked was
Still's performance in her exhibi-

tion game against the Colorado
Xplosion.

She dominated the game, scor—
ing 20 points, grabbing 1]
rebounds, collecting seven steals,
and dishing out four assists.

While Still put on a show in the
exhibition game, the question
remains how long Still can play.
After all, Still will be cashing social
security checks in only 30 years.

“(My manager) thinks I can
play till I’m 40 and I think she's
era/y," Soil said. “My feet are say»
ing, ‘l don't think so.'"

‘ Still added, “'l‘he first three
weeks have been real rough. l'vc
sprained this and taken a charge
and hurt my back. I’ve gotta get
tised to playing with pain."

Still shotild be used to pain.

Bearing a child doesn't tickle. but
even she admits that getting ready
for the AB]. season is more painful
than labor.

“I told my coach that child
laboring is the worst pain in the
world," Still said.

“\\'hat I have now is way more
tough than that."
