Children in UK Med

Center design winners

With each stroke of her red crayon, 5-year-old i. 91:3,;

Megan Young felt like a star.

Her bright smile, almost as bright as the twinkle in
her eyes, would make anyone feel warm inside. The
finished (product was an autographed copy of her hol—

, now produced in mass quantities for distri-
bution as the 1996 UK Children’s Hospital holiday

iday car

card.

The card features her painting/colorin of a family
of smiling Christmas trees, as well as a rawing ofa

snowman by fellow patient Melissa Byrd.

Young was brought back to Lexington from her
home in Irvine, Ky., earlier this week. She is one of
the many patients who make frequent visits to the
fourth floor of the Chandler Medical Center.

For Young, it is a form of lymphoma, diagnosed
earlier this year, that brings her back to Lexington
regularly. She hopes to return to Irvine, which is
about an hour away, for Christmas. The lon est stay
the family has had at home since learning 0 her ill-

ness has been three weels.

Young was very adamant about the part of Christ- j

mas that excites her the most.
“Opening the presents,’
favorite part!”

Young visits the hospital about every other week.
This week it was because of a high fever. Her par—
ents, Doug and Gina Young, never know what 5 p—
toms will force them to pack up their ba 5 and ead to UK,
but they always enjoy the friendly smifes they find when

they arrive.

“Everybody has been so nice,” Doug Young said. “Every-
one is always very polite and always smiling.”

Gina Young has been surprised at the response she gets
when she tells friends of her daughter’s newly found fame.

“People are always telling me, ‘We go out and buy those
(cards) every year’ and ‘I didn’t know that was your daugh-

ter,’” Gina Young said.

The proceeds from the sale, which totaled more than
$7,500 last year, benefit the UK Children’s Hospital, and,
according to Child Life Coordinator Judi Martin, the deci—
sion of which works of art will make it on the card is a hard

one to make.

“It is always tough,” she said. “We’ve got a committee
that selects the pictures. Usually we’re‘aided with two draw-

ings that just go great together.”

She said that was the case for this year. But the two draw-
ings also kept the committee within some other guidelines

they use when examining the entries.

“We do try to select kids from different age groups,”
Martin said. “Plus we have kids that we’ve wor

Byrd credits her fifth—grade teacher, Mrs. McCormick at
Star Elementary in Rush, Ky., for developing her artistic
talent, and said the decision to draw a snowman was easy.

“She’s the one that taught me how to draw snowmen,”
Byrd said. “They said draw something Christmas-like, so I
decided a snowman is Christmas-like, so I drew it.”

Byrd’s mother said their reaction was as anyone would

Yesterday the College of Human Envi-
ronmental Sciences continued what it
ho s will become an annual tradition. For
onl’ye the second year, the college held a
recognition reception honoring 1996
December graduates.

The speakers at the ceremony, which
was held from 2 to 4 .m. at Erikson Hall,
included Dean Retia . Walker, Chancellor
Elisabeth Zinser, and Be Hughes, presi-
dent of the College of uman Environ-
mental Sciences Alumni Association.

Louise Gladstone, director of student
services for the college, recognized the
graduates by announcing their names and

aving them come to the front of the room.

“We’re wishing ou the best as you’re
leaving us today, éladstone said. “Good
luck with finals.

Although the ceremony honorin the
graduates was held durin dead wee , the

students still have to pass eir finals before
theg can graduate.

ut there is little doubt that all will do

' l

fine. As a matter of fact, the college staff is
already congratulating them on their
achievement.

“This has been a very special activity,
and again we celebrate you,” Walker said.

The students agree that the ceremon is
an excellent addition to their end-of-t e-
semester activities.

“It’s important because a lot of our
December graduates don’t make it back for
the May ceremony,” said Sarah Hillard,
senior home economics education major.

She was the co-chair of the joint com-
mittee in charge of the ceremony. The Stu-
dent Advisory Council and the Kentucky
Association of Family and Consumer Sci-
ences joined to make the group that was in
charge of making the ceremony a success.

And they all agree that this year it was
exactly that.

For one thing, they had a much higher
turnout than last year. But last year was the
first time the ever did this, so they expect
it onl to get tter.

They reported that each col-

Commerce grant
investigated by House

WASHINGTON — The Clinton administra—
tion awarded a $3.2 million grant to a Democratic
fund-raiser’s company after rejecting another firm
that had placed first in the bidding, government
documents indicate.

The grant, the largest ever from the Commerce
Department to run a minority business assistance
center in Los Angeles, was awarded to Cordoba
Corp. even after government auditors twice
warned that the company did not appear to be
financially fit, the documents show.

Cordoba is run by California businessman
George Pla, who for two decades has raised money
for Democrats and was a member of President
Clinton’s finance board in 1992.

The 1994 grant is being investigated by the
House Commerce Committee as part of its
inquiry into whether the Commerce Department
has been used to reward Democratic donors.

Reynolds dents total $11.2 million

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Burt Reynolds may
owe millions to creditors, but there’s one who is in
no hurry to collect.

“I’m still Burt’s friend, and I’ll help him out all
I can,” country music businessman Buddy Killen
said Wednesday.

“He’s working himself to death trying to get
out of this. He’s an honest guy.”

Reynolds, star of the now-defunct CBS series
‘Evening Shade,’ owes Killen $825,442, according
to the actor’s recent bankruptcy filing. Reynolds’
total debts are $11.2 million.

Killen and Reynolds became friends in the early
19705 when the actor was seeking music for the
film Deliverance.

‘Iilutcrackcr'
keeps tradition

By Lisa L. Miller
Senior Staff Writer

The Lexington Ballet combines precision and
warmth in this year’s production of the
“Nutcracker Suite.” A tradition in Lexington
since 1977, the “Nutcracker” is one ballet that can
encompass both the technical demands of dance
and the emotions of family.

“The ‘Nutcracker’ is one of the first major bal-
lets that each member of the family can enjoy,”
Amy Desiato, first-season compan member, said.

“Even if a person doesn’t like ballet, he or she
will usually find something to like in the
‘Nutcracker’.”

Based on a fairy tale by E.T.A. Hoffman, the
“Nutcracker” was choreographed originally by
Lev Ivanov, who developed the story line with
composer Pitor Tchaikovsky.

The “Nutcracker” begins on Christmas Eve as
the Von Stahlbaums are givin a party. Herr
Drosselmeyer, Clara Von Stahlbaums grandfa-
ther, arrives and gives Clara a nutcracker soldier
doll.

Fritz, Clara’s jealous brother, breaks it.
Drosselmeyer repairs the doll, and the guests
depart while Clara goes to sleep.

Filled with memories 0 the party, Clara
dreams of the King of the Rats and his army. As
they begin to taunt Clara, her beloved nutcracker
comes to life to protect her.

The remainder of the ballet consists of Clara’s
adventures with the nutcracker.

Lexington Ballet’s 1996 “Nutcracker” was
guest choreographed by Babil Gandaras and Karl
Kaufman. It is staged by Lexington Ballet’s artistic
director, Xijun Fu.

Fu, a native of China, performed with compa-
nies in China, Chile, Chicago and Cincinnati. He
brings his extensive background to Lexington and
this year’s “Nutcracker” in hopes of creating a
unique production.

“I hope to brin more humor this year. I also ,~ ‘
be a production that any family .

hope that this can
can enjoy,” said Fu.

Fu believes, though, that the dancers them-
selves brin something extra to the stage.

“They bring magic. There is more than just
techni ue. There is elegance. The dance skills
learned are important, but they are worthless
without a rformer’s elegance and magic.”

Part 0 the magic develops from t e children
involved in the performance.

The ballet is noted for its use of many children
in the choreo aphy. This year’s sta 'ng utilizes
about 40 chil ren from the School 0 the Lexing-
ton Ballet.

“1 like to work with the kids. It’s great to help
them and watch them improve,” said company
member Rodney Beard.

Lexin on Ballet is offering an opportunity for
area chil ren to meet dancers in their costumes at
the third annual Su r Plum Party, tomorrow
from 4-6 pm. at the (%ra House.

Performances will held Dec. 13-18 at the
Opera House. For tickets call 257-4929.

Bats running low
on healthy bodies

By Rob Herbal
Atrium Spam Editor

Memorial Coliseum may be
turning into Memorial Hospital.

The fabled on— campus facility
of the UK women’s team is the
home of a squad that is losing
healthy bodies in a hurry

With only 10 members to start
with, the Cats never had an over-
abundance of pla ers.

Take away fieshman Robyn
Embry, who has not played
because of a stress fracture, and
that makes nine players.

Suddenly, however, UK may be
looking at only six healthy athletes
when they take on Miami (Ohio)
at 7 pm. in Memorial Coliseum.

To make matters worse, two of
the Cats’ casualties are last year’s
two leading scorers.

Junior forward Shaunda
Roberts is listed as doubtful this
evening because of a cyst on her
back that was drained this week.
The Toledo, Ohio, native is aver-
aging 15 points per game this year.

Joining Roberts on the doubt-
ful list is junior center Kim Denk-
ins. The second—team All—South-
eastern Conference player from
last year sprained her ankle in
practice on Wednesday.

The other health problem
involves freshman center Katie
Vieth. She is dealing with the flu
but is listed as probable for
tonight

“We’re looking for some
upperclassmen to step‘ up (tomor-
row),” said UK ead coach
Bernadette Mattox. “Vonda Jack-
son and Shawn Manning are going

‘ to have to play a lot of minutes,

and we’re going to have to make

some adjustments.”

On a team with four freshmen
and one junior college transfer,
UK’s six upperclassmen were
expected to lead the squad, includ-
ing second-team All—SEC Denk—
ins.

But Mattox admits that neither
Denkins nor the others have taken
leadership positions this season.

Only one player has stepped
up and that’s Shaunda Roberts,”
Mattox said.

“The rest of them have not
stepped up to their capabilities.
That’s what we’ve asked them to
do and that’s what they have to do
for us to move up.”

Six games into the season, both
Denkins’ points per game and
rebounds per game averages are
down. She is averaging 9.7 points
per game, down from 15.4 last
year, and is grabbing seven
rebounds per game, down from
nine rebounds per game last year.

By her own admission, Denkins
has not played well.

“I’ve been playing very bad,”
Denkins said. “I’m not rebound—
ing as well as I did last year. Scor-
ing-wise, I think I’m rushing my
shots.

Denkins’ last game may have
been one of her worst ames at
UK. Against Toledo last Saturday,
she scored srx points, grabbed four
rebounds and played only 16 min—
utes.

“I played awful in that game,”
Denkins said. I was thinking ‘gosh,
can I even play anymore?’ But
then coach told me just to concen-
trate.”

At 6 foot 3 inches and by no
means scrawny, Denkins stands
out among teammates, and no one

would ever question her ability to
play basketball.

In fact, Denkins could be one
of the nation’s finest players, but
she has not made it to that level

CI.
“She should be one of the most

dominant players in the country,”
Mattox said.

“I think she’s got the capability
to do that and she' s definitely got
the body to do that. But we’re still
working for her to be that domi-
nant player.”

Cool Bats and T-Blarles to play two at Rupp

By Ryan Kramer
Staff Writer

Tomorrow night, the Cool
Cats host Louisville. But for an
instate rivalry so big, the “Cat
House” is not big enou h, so the
team worked out a dea with the
Thoroughblades to move the “Cat
House” to Rupp Arena and play a
double- header.

The T- Blades’ game begins at
7 p.m., and the Cool Cats will take
on the Cardinals right after that.

Tickets can be purchased for
the regular price and will allow
you to see both games.

After a long road trip, during
which the Cool Cats were winless
until last Saturday, when the beat
Findley 6 4, they will be g ad to

. get home to a more welcome envi-

ronment.

Although the team won the
game against Findley last week,
they suffered a huge loss when

LAS CRUCES, N ..M —
Nebraska assistant coach Tony
Samuel was expected to be hired
yesterday as the football coach at
New Mexico State, the Las Cruces
Sun-News reported.

The newspaper said the
announcement was likely to come
at an afternoon news conference.

Samuel would replace Jim
Hess, who was fired Nov. 12. Hess
coached at New Mexico State for
seven seasons and had a 22-55
overall record.

University president]. Michael
Orenduff wouldn’t confirm that
Samuel was his choice, nor would
Samuel comment when reached

Wednesday night at his home in

Lincoln, Neb.

'You’ll get the official word
then,” Samuel said of the news
conference.

Others reportedly in the run-
ning for the job were former
Texas and Purdue coach Fred
Akers, Utah offensive coordinator
Fred Graves and Murray State
coach Houston Nutt.

Al Gonzales, New Mexico State
athletic director, met with Oren-
duff Wednesday afternoon, at
which time a final decisionI was
made, the newspaper reporte .

Hess is the sixth football coach
at New Mexico State to be fired in
the do years.

$114,000, has since been reas-
signed In the athletic department,

ship between fans and players at
the ice center.

“It’s closer,” he said.

Kevin Fraiser, an assistant
coach, does have one year of eligi-
bility left, and Chad Roseanack

was a net minder before coming to

the (001 Cats last year, but the
options are limited if Page can’t
make it.

T he entire city knows about the
fame the basketball team brings to
the University, and the Cool Cats
hope that playing a few games a
year at Rupp can do the same
thing for them, both as individuals
and as a team.

“It will get our name out there.
I’m going to be 23, so I’m not too
worried about the future
prospects, but some of the players
could be being watched,” Ward
said.

On Friday the 13th, Rupp
Arena will play host to the “Cat
House,” and the Cool Cats want
the city to see the rivalry that let
the football fans down, now live
up to its expectations.

“It’s gonna be great!”
said.
