Attackers
threaten
lllt student

By Brenna Reilly
News Editor

A student’s life was threatened on campus yester-
day morning while she was walking to class.

According to UK Police, Tanya—Marie Cole was
approached by two white males at about 11 am.
outside the back entrance of Kastle Hall.

_ “Twu white males pushed her into the .hall and
said ifshe didn’t like her life here they could end it
for her,” said UK Police Chief VV.H. McComas.

McComas said one of the suspects held a knife to
Cole’s face. Cole was not physically hurt, but was
emotionally upset, McComas said.

“I was very mad,” said Cole, a biology junior. “I
think it is funny that after all of the men who wrote,
they decided to go after a female.”

Police believe the incident may be related a letter
to the editor in Thursday’s Kentucky Kernel that
was written by Cole. '

She wrote the letter in response to previous let—
ters to the editor about columnist Boyce \Vatkins.

In her letter, Cole talked about what it is like
being a black person at UK and how black students
have to work harder for respect.

Cole said the men turned her around so she
couldn’t see their faces.

“There is no way they could have attached my
name to my face,” Cole said. She said she believes
the suspects know her or are in one of her classes.

McComas said UK Police are investigating the
incident as second-degree wanton endangerment.

The suspects wore ra —hooded sweatshirts and
blue baseball caps pufie down over their faces.
Both suspects were white males, one was 5-foot—11
and the other was about 5-foot-6, McComas said.

Cole said she thinks the men were only t 'ng to
scare her and were not going to hurt her. S e said
she thinks they wanted her to stop writing letters.

“Even ifI stop talking, people aren’t going to
stop talking, even when I am gone, someone is
going to be tired of it,” Cole said.

According to Kentucky state law, police are
required to file a bias crime report. The report is
refiguired for crimes that are motivated by the
o enders bias toward race, religion, sexual orienta—
tion or gender.

In her letter last week Cole wrote: “Slavery may
be over but the tremors from the aftermath are
being felt everywhere.”

“My point was proven today,” Cole said yester-
day, “People don’t believe it happens, maybe now
they; will.”

McComas said students with any information
should contact UK Police at 257-1616.

Holocaust victim,
author to speak

By Aaron 0. Hall
Staff mm

A former prisoner and survivor of a Nazi concen—
tration camp will tell about his experiences tonight
to a sold—out crowd on campus.

The Nobel Peace—Prize winning author, activist
and survivor of the Holocaust Elie Wiesel has writ-
ten several books about his experience. In one of his
books, “Night,” Wiesel, a Romanian, recounts
details of his life in the Auschwitz Buchenwald con-
centration camp in fictional form.

To Avi Weitzman, SAB’s co-chair of the multi—
culturalism committee, Wiesel has become a heroic
icon. He said he has read ”Night” six times.

“Elie Wiesel is one of the few writers that can
make people understand about the Holocaust,”
Weitzman said.

Although Weitzman has not experienced a situa—
tion like the Holocaust for himself, his grandpar—
ents, also from Romania, have.

“They experienced as much as (Wiesel) did,” the
political science senior said.

“He teaches us that we cannot have apathy on
world issues.”

Wiesel is a key figure in issues regarding the Jew—
ish community. Dismayed b the assassination of
Israeli Prime Minister Yitz ak Rabin, who was
killed by a Jewish student lawyer last November,
and the recent suicide-bomb attacks in Israel,
Wiesel remains confident that the peace process in
the Middle East will still take place.

Director of the Central Kentucky Jewish Federa-
tion Joel H. Eizenstat said that “Night” is “a power-
ful recount of (Weisel’s) experiences. It is the kind
of experience to make you think.”

Eizenstat was glad his or anization, along with
SAB, was able to sponsor iesel’s visit to campus.
The director stressed the importance of giving 0—
ple the opportunity to listen to someone speak a ut
a world issue. i

A patron dinner will take place at 5:30 pm. at the
Boone Faculty Club. The cost, $120, will to ben—
efit the Jewish Community. VViesel wil speak at
Memorial Hall at 8 .m. For more information, call
the SAB office at 25 -8867. '

New policy means no profits for students

Some students waitin in line for Final Four tickets yesterday
at Memorial Coliseum ad visions of dollar signs dancing in
their heads.

The seating capacity of the Meadowlands (18,500), com-
bined with the arena’s roximity to New York, promises to push
ticket prices through e roof— possibly as high as $15,000 for
a lower level seat.

Better not spend that money 'ust yet.

UK officials announced a fan esterday designed to keep
students from scalpin tickets or URss national semifinal game
with Massachusetts sc eduled for Saturday at 8:07 pan.

Students will be required to enter the Meadowlands throu vh
Gate C, where vouchers‘will be exchanged for ticket books.
When students receive their ticket books, UK officials will tear
off the first—game ticket stub and students will not be allowed to
leave the arena.

With the stub gone, the ticket can’t be sold. Tickets for
Monda ’5 final game can be picked up Saturdav and will not be
stubbetI. He said the chances for scalpin tickets on Monday
will be smaller because the losing teams’ ans will probably be
selling their tickets.

“Student ticket lotteries are intended for students," Stiles
said. “It’s unfortunate that some of them planned to abuse the
system.”

Tickets can be picked u at Gate C beginning at 3:30 pm.

and that a limited number of lower leve tickets will be available.
UK enacted the new olicy after receiving word from local

were askin a ut unloading student tickets at enomious prices.

“I even ad a student come and ask me point blank how to
scalp my ticket,” said Stiles, who was also concerned by the tick—

In the wake of yesterda ’5 problems. UK plans to reexamine
the way it distributes tic ets for postseason play. UK's allot—
ments of postseason tickets is split three ways with the students,
administration and athletic department getting equal numbers.

Stiles said UK Ticket Alanager Barbara Donnelly proposed a
s 'stem that would award points and rive priority to students
that regularly pick u tickets for regniIar—scason games. Such a
system would be ma 6 possible through IDs and scanners.

“\Ve must have had some economic majors here today," said
Stiles, who estimated that 10 to 20 percent of tliost‘ attending
the lottery wanted to scalp. “They know what they want to do
with their tickets. \Vhere were all these people when we had all

Such is the case with UK basket-

These three heralded horseman may

Not so.

The \Vildcats, now perched at a

trio alone for their successes. N‘Ill
UK’s fringe benefits have made all 5 ,

and out the door. Players like Antho- V

starters, t the Wildcat machine in motion. These
two valua le pistons play roles most nights, occasion-
ally emerging from the shadows to shine brightly.
Anderson and Ep , alon with other bench stars
Mark P , Wayne urner, fefl' Sheppard. Ron Mer-
cer and len Edwards have gelled to form a potent
com liment to the Cats' big-namers.

“ ithout eve ne, we’d never have come this
far,” said Walker. “That’s what makes us special, our
total commitment to a common goal.”

Who made such talent combine into such a
smooth batter, even when ske tics thought in UK’s
future would be more like mony bread. Nope, not

 

Rick Pitino.

Everyone, as Walker stated, has made this season
so. If there are two role players without which UK
can play —— no, function — effectively, they are
Anderson and Ep 5.

Epps, not as fliishy or spectacular as his younger
position-mate Turner — has done nothin less than
mold his teammates into a well—oiled engine. Solid,
not highli ht-worth , passes are a mainstay when
Ep is in t e game. Turnovers simply aren‘t allowed.

Ssmarts, which go a long way in life, equal quick,
rational decisions on the court.

Coaches have little to do with such matters; a play-
er’s instincts are tested night in, night out. Epps and
Anderson have made smart decismns all year, but
haven’t been noticed. Human nature’s eyes only focus
on the downfall; rarely are accomplishments, unless
rare or extreme, li hted with the same intensity.

Anderson and pps, it could be said, are like con-
stellations (Big Dipper and Little Dipper, respective—
1 ). During time-release photography, staged over
t is year, you would see an image rotating around a
central point (the team), creating a largely-white
night time sky.

These two are the heart of UK. Without Anderson
and E ps, the Cats would have lost much more often
than em. Epps runs the offense; Anderson sparks it
when needed.

“Derek and I, we hang to ther no matter what,”
Epps said. “I don’t think we ave as much pressure as
some of the other guys, so we make the most of it.”

He has been called intense,
arrogant and driven by his work.

But he has also been called a
father~figure, compassionate and
caring toward his players.

This man is University of
Cincinnati men's basketball coach
Bob Hu gins. Huggins is consid-
ered to e one of college basket—
ball’s most intense characters, as
evidenced by some of the tirades

  

he has had on the sidelines during
games. But he said this intensity is
iust a part of his job.

“In today’s society, for some
reason," Hu 'gins said, “you’re not
suppose to (it) your best. It Would
be refreshing ifeverybody brought
the same kind of enthusiasm, the
satne kind of dedication to their
job."

He said he uses this as a way to
show his players that him and his
coaching staff are doing all they
can to maker the team better.

hours doing a little politicking
for Wednesday and Thursday's
Student Government Associa—
tion elections.

Terwort, who arrived around
11 p.m. Saturday, is running for
a Senator at Large seat.

The gathering might have
been politically friendly, but
Terwort didn’t hide his enthusi—
asm for UK basketball.

“I could’ve sat in my room
and waited to come unti five or
six, but the adrenaline gets
going,” Terwort said.

In the spirit ofWallv Clark ——

the UK fan-atic who arrived
almost'three weeks early for this
year's Midnight Madness ——
Totld Curtis and his Delta Si a
Phi social fraternity brot ers
claimed to be the first to arrive at
Memorial Coliseum.

“This is my claim to fame,”
said Curtis, a marketing sopho—
more, who arrived with his fra-
ternity brothers around 9 p.m.
on Saturday.

The early risers seemed to
enjoy their pre-dawn festival.
But Ron Lee, UK assistant
director of (iampus Relations, .
said in a lottery system getting
there early didn't affect students’
ticket chances.

“As a matter of fact, the per—
son who was next to last in line
was in the first group who got
tickets," Lee said. “I don’t know
ifI would have stayed out in the
rain, but I'm sure they had a
good time."

CBS Sports on Campus came at
the right time, in the middle of
UK Final Four frenzy.

CBS Sports on Campus, which
is in a tent at Stoll Field, in front
of the Student Center, held-events
from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. yesterday and
will be open from 10 a.m.—4 p.m.
today.

The tent consists of seven
interactive sports activities rang-
ing from “Touchdown Pass,” in
which the contestant tosses the
football to a life-size photo cutout
of a receiver to “Checkered Flag,”
which puts the contestant in the
driver’s seat of a race-car simula—
tor.

And of course, with basketball
being the hot topic in Kentucky
ri ht now, there are two booths
w ich test your shooting skills.

“With Kentucky bein such a
national power, obvious y it is a
perfect time for CBS Sports,” said
tour manager Travis Tadysak.

Though it was not intentional—
ly planned to coincide with UK’s
participation in the Final Four,
students are glad that it did.

Kevin Lowery, a telecommu—
nications junior, bought tickets
for the Final Four, and the first
exhibit he visited was “Shoot

Not much, except the ability
to draw a crowd.

Close to 200 UK students and
faculty members attended the
lecture “Do Black Holes Eat
Information?” in the Chemistry-
Physics lecture hall on Frida .

Al Shapere, assistant ro essor
of physics at UK, joke that the

Thursday to Friday at the request
of Rick Pitino, who 'was con—
cerned that the ratings would
drop for the basketball game
because students would rather
hear about black holes.
