Despite lawsuit, UK stands by new police chief hire

UK‘s newly hired police chief
is a defendant in a pending sexual
discrimination lawsuit — but UK
said Friday it agrees with its
search firm‘s recommendation
that the lawsuit shouldn’t have
been a factor in his hiring.

New ads
sell UK to
the state

By Sean Rose
in: xzmucxv KERNEL

 

UK hit the airwaves yesterday with the
launch of a new advertising campaign
highlighting current and past efforts to im-
prove the state’s quality of life.

UK President Lee Todd said the ads
were an opportunity to tell Kentucky what
UK is doing for the whole state and how
supporting UK will enhance its mission of
service.

“We‘ve undertaken a bold initiative to
change Kentucky,” Todd said in a press re-
lease. “The people of Kentucky deserve to
hear how their support for this university
will make this an even better place to live."

UK spokesman Jay Blanton said the ul-
timate goal of the ads is to “increase aware‘
ness across Kentucky to what their flagship
university is already doing and what we
could dowithincreased support."

The ads rttn during a critical time for
UK. with the state legislature currently de-
bating how much money will go toward
funding UK and its Top-20 Business Plan.

Blanton said he's hopeful that the ads
will trigger more support for UK and added
that there were posi-
tive responses from “we've

makers," Blanton said.

Todd said the cam-
paign. which will be
on TV. radio and in
print. represents a dra-
matic departure from
typical university ad—
vertising. which usually focuses on campus
life and student recruitment.

Blanton said the greatest change from
traditional advertising was the focus on
“how UK is a catalyst for a new common
wealth."

The campaign features three advertise
ments. The first. “Commitment.“ focuses on
UK faculty and students excelling in di-
verse fields of study: The second is titled
“Lemonade“ and describes UK‘s largest fed-
eral grant $22 million to improve math
and science classes in schools in Ap-
palachia. The third spot. called “Smile." de-
scribes UK‘s College of Dentistry outreach
efforts. which have helped improve the oral
health of more than 250.000 Kentuckians.

Blanton said all the subjects of the ads.
such as the dental outreach program. were
chosen to show the UK’s role in public ser-
Vice.

“It shows the connection of higher edu-
cation and service." Blanton said. “It‘s real-
ly important to illustrate the mission of a
flagship university."

The advertisements will cost around
$140,000. The television ads will run
statewide for around four weeks and can be
seen by a regional and national audience
through UK's athletic contracts. The print
version will run statewide for around four
weeks as well and the radio version will be
used with UK‘s athletic contracts for as
long as several months.

Todd said the ads show how supporting
UK leads to more service for the state and
that UK achieving its goal of a top20 uni-
versity was critical to that vision.

“I believe that transforming UK into a
top-20 public research institution will
transform Kentucky for the better.“ Todd
said. announcing the ads. “That’s what hav-
ing a top-20 research institution can — and
should ~ mean for the Commonwealth of

Kentucky. "

GAINESVILLE. Fla. . in less than four
minutes, Florida erased two weeks and 20
minutes of UK momentum.

The Cats' five-game winning streak had
translated to a rare hot
start against the No. 7
Gators. and UK looked as
good as they had all sea-

that hardly surprises any-
more.

By the 16:34 mark of
the second half, a six-point
UK lead became a five-

Cats were shook more

The Cats‘ confidence crumbled. and

The Kentucky Journal-
ism Hall of Fame will add
six new members to its
ranks in April, who will join
142 other journalists already
inducted since the Hall of
Fame was created 25 years
ago.

The six new inductees
come from several different
walks of journalism, rang—
ing from broadcasting in ra-
dio and television to photo
journalism and print news.

“I think it's a nice mix of
people," said Beth Barnes.
director of UK‘s School of
Journalism and Telecommu~
nications. “I really think
that this year’s group shows
the range of journalism
practice.“

The inductees are nomi-
nated by fellow journalists
and must be either Ken-
tucky natives or have spent
most of their career in the
state.

What the award is really
about. Barnes said, is the ac-
complishments the person
has made.

“I think it‘s also about
recognizing a strong career."
Barnes said. “That's what
they’re recommended for

tributions to journalism.

Turnabout :Gators beat ranked Cats

ByCliris DeLotelI
iii: KENTUCKY ittiiiiri

With a sellout crowd at Memorial
Coliseum exhorting the UK women’s bas-
ketball team on a last-gasp run in the fi-
nal two minutes of the game, Florida’s
Sha Brooks had only one thought on her
mind.

Payback.

Brooks penetrated the lane, got
fouled and made a driving lay-in with
1:21 to play to hush the crowd and finish
off the No. 21 Cats in Florida’s 6861 win
yesterday

“They came to our place and upset
us," Brooks said, referring to UK’s 80-65
win in Gainesville on Jan. 12. “We don’t
like to lose on our home court, so we
knew we had to come up here today and
get revenge."

The play of Brooks. a Moot-7 fresh-
man guard. went a long way toward the
Gators (17-5, 54 Southeastern Confer-
ence) exacting that revenge. She finished
with 21 points on seven of 12 shooting.

“As a freshman, she made a lot of big
plays for us,” Florida head coach Car-
olyn Peck said. “At the start of confer-
ence play, she wasn’t as effective, but now
she’s realized that she can play in this
league.”

In addition to her 3point play late in
the game, Brooks single-handedly
trimmed an eight-point UK lead to two at
halftime with consecutive 3-pointers in
the final 1:35 of the first half.

“I thought that was big,” UK head
coach Mickie DeMoss said. “Her first
three was three steps back from the line.
and on the second one We didn’t spot her
quickly enough in our transition de-
fense.”

Brooks then scored the first basket of
the second half to complete an individ-
ual eight-point run and tie the game at

1“I' ve told her that she’s open if she
can see the basket," Peck said. “Our
team has developed a lot of confidence in
{1131 shooting the ball. She’s got a green
' t.”

Throughout the final five minutes of
the game. UK (15-6, 44) repeatedly tried
to make runs at Florida, but each time
the Gators were able to hold off the Cats.
Afier a Samantha Mahoney layup cut the
UF lead to 56-53 with 3:24 left. the Gators
entered the ball to senior forward Brit-
tany Davis, who connected on a hook
shot over the head of a UK defender to
extend the lead back to five.

“That’s my favorite shot for her."
Peck said. “When she knocked that
down, it stopped their momentum and
helped ours."

After a basket by Nastassia Alcius
trimmed the lead back to three, Brooks
delivered her knockout punch.

DeMoss was frustrated by her team’s
lack of offensive consistency in a second
half in which the Cats shot 8-for-29 from
the field.

“Their defense really got us out of
flow in the second half,” DeMoss said of
the Gators’ mixture of man-to-man and
zone defenses. “They kept switching de-
fenses and we did not handle it well and
didn’t get good looks.

“We did not execute well on the offen-
sive end."

The Cats, whose stay in the national
rankings will likely end when this
week’s polls come out. said their victory
over Tennessee brought national notori-
ety and. with that, a bull'seye from oppo-
nents.

“Now we‘ve got a target on our back
and people are going to play us twice as
hard," sophomore center Sarah Elliott
said. “We have to get used to that."

fore fouling out with 1:35 left
to play (Trawford recorded
his first career double-double
with 19 points and it) re-
bounds.

Sparks also had seven as-
sists in the first half before
finishing with nine total.

Florida scored :36 points
in the second half while liK
shot 32 percent anti went al-
most seven minutes without
a field goal.

Smith said of the second-half
collapse. "I've seen it happen
to us before."

away from its.”

It‘s the same frustrating
story. but it has a (seemingly)
simple answer. When the
(‘ats play defense. they can
compete with anyone. \\'heii
they don‘t. they can lose to
anyone.

It's as simple as the high-
screen play the Gators ran
over and over and over again
to success.

"We weren't surprised."
Crawford said of that play.
“We just could not stop it."

Until llK learns to stiffer
up on defense. these kind of
meltdowns won't surprise
anyone, either.

Because without a de-
pendable defense. the t‘ats
will continue to walk along
the edge. And it will only
take a few minutes to push
them over.

WASHINGTON —— Dave
Chappelle told Oprah Winfrey
Friday that he‘ll come back to
his Comedy Central show if
he can redo his $50 million
contract so that half of the
revenue from DVD sales of his
series goes to charities of his
choice.

On the other hand he also
told Oprah that he already
gets half of the so called back
end on DVD sales and “I
would like to contribute my
half of the DVD revenue to
some of these causes.“

Chappelle's appearance
was his first television inter-
view since April. when ~
about eight months after sign-
ing the $50 million deal to
keep his series going for a
third and fourth season mak-
ing him one of the most high-
ly paid people in the television
industry— he abruptly bolted
from production aborting the
debut of the third season.
which the network had al-
ready spent millions promot-
ing.

Chappelle fled to Africa.
setting off a torrent of report-
ing that he was (a) missing (b)
on drugs. (c) spinning out of
control ((1) Checking into a
mental health facility or (e)
other.

Comedy Central suits have
said repeatedly that they
would love for him to come
back to work. In December
they finally announced they
were going to put 011 a third
“season“ of the series with or
without him. in an effort to re-
coup some of the money
they‘d already spent. The new
season would have at least
four half-hour episodes. com-
posed of material Chappelle
had shot before vanishing.

“Here's the scenario that I
could come hack to the show."
Chappelle said during his
much ballyhooed appearance
on Oprah's syndicated show.
which was taped last week
and aired Friday. This kickoff

of his Im Not Crazy I Just
Play That Way Tour (second
stop: “Inside the Actors Stu-
dio’ on Feb. 12) — in another
of those incredible coinci
dances that make covering
this industry so spiritually
fulfilling — just happens to
fall a few weeks before the
March 3 release of his docu-
flick. “Chappelle’s Block Par-

“1 do want to do my show
again. provided I can make
the proper work environment.
But more importantly
contribute my half of the
DVD revenue to some of these
causes. I would rather give the
money to the people," he said.
mentioning “people who suf.
fered in Katrina and people
who need the money, and I can
give back to my high school ’

“Be careful you need
boundaries ... you’ re on na-
tional television." cautioned
Oprah.

“You cannot just say. ‘I

> want to give money to the peo

ple.‘ . You just can t do that -
people will be lined up at your
farm with every sad sob story
in the world." she added
showing viewers some of that
compassion for which she is
so loved by her fans that they
lobbied to get her the Nobel
Peace Prize.

Chappelle insisted he is
not angry at the folks at Come-
dy Central or his writing part-
ner of many years, Neal Bren-
nan.

But he had nothing good
to say about either.

Called for comment Fri-
day. Comedy Central issued
this statement:

“Dave is a comedic genius
whose work we truly value
and our door will always be
open to him."

Through the whole show.
Oprah worked as hard as she
could to do what she does best:
Make it all about Oprah.

Starting with her intro-
duction. in which she told
viewers that Chappelle had
become so huge that “his skits
have been quoted by fans
