The Martin Luther King Jr. Cul-
tural Center is sponsoring a viewing
of the documentary. "Legacy of Tor-
ture." The film focuses on 13 Black
Panther members who w ere arrested
in New Orleans in 1973. Some of

police clerk in San Francisco.

Three men were originally

Robinson F orost debate draws 200

Opponents and supporters of logging voice contrasting vision for land's future

The responsibility of UK to rise Robin?
son Forest as a nature presene or as a re~
search facility was the main topic of discus
sion last night for nearly zoo students. fae
iilty and Kentticky residents.

liK (ireenthumb and Kentucky Heart-
wood hosted a public commentary to begin
a dialogue about the sustainable forestry
plan that will log about Still acres of UK-
owned land in Eastern Kentucky over the
next 12 months,

“As with any issue. there are far more
perspectives than just being 'for' or
‘against.' " said Ernie Yanerella. event mod-
erator and faculty representative on liK‘s
Board of Trastces. “That is what tonight is
about."

Scott Smith. dean of the (‘ollege of
Agriculture. outlined the sustainable
forestry streamside management plan before
25 speakers came forward to talk about the
issues surrounding the university 's resporisi»

bility to the forest and the logging plan.

"Robinson liorcst is a research property.
not a nature conservatory. and we have
demonstrated countless ways of sustainable
forestry practice already Smith said. “This
will not be a clear cut. it will be a timber
hary est, This forest has regenerated before
and it will again with responsible manage-
ment practices."

lirik Reece. professor and coordinator
of the UK Summer Environmental Writers
Program held in Robinson Forest. said he is
against the plan despite his respect for the
science behind it.

“I think this science could have potenr
tial and could be legitimate. but I just don‘t
think it should take place in a place so di
verse as Robinson Forest." Reece said.

Nineteen students and community
members spoke against l'K's plan to log the
forest and argued along with Reece that the
property was not owned by the College of
.-\griculturc. birt by the university. and
should be used for other purposes.

UK has switched student health in?
surancc providers to the (‘hickering
Group. which offers increased women‘s
health benefits and coverage of immu-
nizations. said a company representa-
live.

The new contract with Chickcring
will last for the 2007—08 school year.

During a forum yesterday orga-
nized by the student health advisory
council and the graduate student con-
gress. tWo Chickering (‘rroup represen-
tatives presented a slide show and

overview of the plan.

The plan currently covers 4.400
students at l'K. said Brian ”IlillfC. di-
rector of business development for the
company.

Graduate students who are enrolled.
seeking a degree and have full~time asv
sistantships or are ftill institutional fel—
lows are automatically enrolled With
the (‘hickering (iroup. and their depart-
ment covers the cost.

Full—time ITK students pay for ac
cess to university health services. an
outpatient clinic available to all stti»
dents. through tuition and mandatory
fees,

ammunsmmzsm.

Services at the clinic include pri
mary care. gynecology. mental health.
nutrition LUUIISCllng and health educa
tron.

Certain sicknesses and attidents
not covered by l K health services will
be coyered by the insiiram c plan

“A number of undergraduates are
insured through their parents. but that
usually ends around the of 23."
said l'nryci‘sity Health Scr\itcs lhi‘ct
tor l)r. (iregory Moore "In the very
near future students will hav e to make
decisions about insurance by them-
selves "

The plan costs an annual premium

.lL‘C

hay e at least \l\' credit hours and gradu-
ate students w hose department doesn't
\ o\ er the cost.

“,\lmost $900 is a lot of money. but
you can‘t really take the risk of not
haying insurance." Moore said

lhe plan is less expensive than oth
er health insurance options because
much of the care is provided through
uni\crsity health ser\ ices. Moore said.

Mary Bossernian. a representative
for the graduate student congress. said
the group co-sponsored the forum be-
cause many graduate students do not
understand what kind of health cover-

“Health insurance is important for
graduate students because this is a full-

time job for most of us." said Bosser—
man. a fifth year graduate student in the
department of molecular and cellular
biochemistry.

UK previously held a contract
with MEGA Life and Health Insur-
ance Co. but switched to Chickering
because it offered increased benefits.
Hilaire said.

“Our responsibility is to make sun:
that there is a good policy at a good
price available to the students." Moore
said.

Clenney. a 2006 participant in the summer writ—
ers program and WRI'L general manager

Don Ginon former president of KentuckV
Woodland Owners Association. said UK would
benefit from taking advantage of the research
opportunities in Robinson Forest.

“Just as a medical school has a research de-
partment that allows students to Work hands~on.
this forest is a great research area for the depart-
ment of forestry." he said.

Supporters of the streamside management
plan, which will test logging‘s effect on streams.
were present to offer examples of practical ap-
plication for the study‘s potential findings.

Bob Bauer. vice-chair of the Best Manage~
ment Practices Board. which updates and en—
forces Kentucky‘s forest practice guidelines.
said the findings of the forestry plan would ben~

eftt the state because more than 10.000 acres of

forest are logged each year.
“I‘m not here on the issue of Robinson For-
st." Bauer said. “I‘m here to tell you that this
research has the potential to protect more than
just one forest. but thousands of acres of forest
and streams every year."

Logger Daniel Bawker. who is working
with UK on the project. agreed that this study
would help protect Kentucky‘s forests.

“It puts the stream buffers that are used by
logging companies to protect the waterways to
the test." Bawker said. “The findings of this re-
search will answer questions that we haven‘t
gotten adequate answers to. Robinson Forest is
not fragile. It can and will endure this project."

Board of Trustees members Jeff Dembo.
Russ Williams and Nick Phelps. also Student
Government president. attended along with
Smith and listened to nearly three hours of con-
cems and suggestions front the speakers.

Garrett Graddy. Greenthumb and Kentucky
Heartwood member who organized the event.
said she was impressed with the overwhelming
turnout.

“It‘s great to see so many people here to talk
about an important issue that affects us all."
Graddy said. “Seeing this many people here and
concerned. this is the point when UK must ask
itself. ‘what is the larger vision for this forest." ”

Legendary Schnellenberger
returns to the Commonwealth

Q1 Eric Lindsey

elmdsoy®kykernel cont

When legendary head coach
Howard Schnellenberger strolls
into Commonwealth Stadium on
Saturday. he might see a situa-
tion oddly familiar to his.

After all. the Florida At—
Iantic coach is the king of re-
building » and starting ~ pro»
grants in need of a fresh start
much like what head coach Rich
Brooks is doing at ['K

Schnellenberger. a former
UK player. assistant coach and
member of the L'K Athletics
Hall of Fame. is now in his sev'»
entli year as head coach of the
Owls. After decades of success
at the college aitd pro levels. he
was presented with a rare oppor
tunity iii 10%. to start a football
team from scratch.

The raspy—voiced coach
jumped at the chance and has
doiie vvottders with the program

Since taking over. Schitel-
lenberger has raised more thaii
$15 tiiillioii for the football
program and by 2001. FAC of-
ficially had a football team.
and Schnellenberger w as offi-
cially back iii college football
again.

But he w asn‘t done yet. .lust
three years alter starting a foot-
ball program and joining l)ivi~
sion l—AA. Scliiiclleiiberger and
the Owls ninipcd to Division 1»
A. becoming the fastest start-up
program to earn a Division l-A
victory.

Schnellcnbcrgcr epitomizes
"old-school" coaches like for
nier lils' head coach Paul "Bear"
Bryant with the mentality that to
be the best. you have to beat the

best. His "advanced training"
philosophy is a big reason why
the Owls finished third in the
Sun Belt Conference last season
In just their sixth year of exis-
tence.

"We‘ve been playing the
toughest teams that we can play

that we cati get to
schedule Us while
we're iii growth and de—
velopment." Schnellen—
herger said. "Here.
when you start a new
football team. there's
even more potential to
play tip and over your
head. 1 call it advanced
training because we
can‘t get (it) anywhere
else except on the field
of battle during the course of the
season."

After decades of assistant
coaching jobs ,.. including two
years at UK and three ttational
championships under Bryant at
Alabama Schnellenberger
bolted for the NFL in 1966 for
more assistant coaching jobs
and two seasons as head coach
of the Baltimore Colts.

But in 197‘). he returned to
the college game at Miami. a
program that had fallen on hard
times. Four years later. Schnel—
lenberger raised the Hurricanes
to national prominence. leading
them to a tiational champis
onship.

He had the same goal in
mind in 1985 w hen he rettinied
to his hometown of Louisville to
coach tltc Cardinals, While he
tllLllld bring a title back to the
Derby City. he established the
most successful years the pro—
gram had ever had tip until that

Schnellenborger

point. guiding U of L to a 10-1-
1 record in the 1990 season and
a Fiesta Bowl victory in 1991.

After an unsuccessful stint
at Oklahoma. Sehnellenberger
returned to coaching with the
Owls.

“This Kentucky game is re—
ally important to us."
he said. “We‘re going
to try our hardest and
do some things We
probably wouldn’t do
if we were equally
matched But we‘ve
got to do whatever we
can to equal up our
production

Schnellenberger.
who was a four-year
letterman at UK from
1953—56. is proud to see his
alma mater rising onto the na-
tional stage.

“It certainly appears to be
one of the teams that has the po-
tential to be one of the great
teams in (UK) history." he said.
"When you go down to Fayet—
tev’ille and play the University
of Arkansas and come out of
there with a major win like
{UK} did. that‘s a prelude to
great things to come. It has to be
a time of great joy and rejoic—
ing."

Even though Schnellenberg-
er is downplaying his team‘s
chances of coming out of Lev-
ingtoii with a win. Brooks isn‘t
buying it. largely because of
w ho coaches the Owls.

“This is not a well-known
team because it's a new team."
Brooks said. “But everybody
knows the guy that‘s coaching
them. He's an outstanding
coach."

Undefeated start far from perfect

football coaches are the kings of cliches. They

the players.

 

drop them more otten than Louisy illc wide rccciv 7
cr Mario l'rrtitia drops passcs.

"We found a way to w in." "Vic tll\l have to go
out there and cvccute.” And
ttiy personal favorite. “w c
itist need to go out there and
play (insert school namei
football "

All of them are vague
and inaccurate. So is this
one "if it 'ain't broke. don‘t
fi\ it."

This company line could
apply to l'ls's football team
right now. It certainly ain't
broke. lt certainly doesn't
need to be lt\cd.

But it sUllltl be tweaked.
\ctually. and more specificalA

By now everyone knows the (‘ats aic tiiidc
teatcd l‘hcy liav c won itiiic of 111 games dating
back to last season and are ranked .'\'o, H in the
nation.

But in each of those wins. and the narrow loss
to l'cnncsscc. there were catiscs for concern. prob-
lems to correct

for right now. let's inst tottis on issues from
this season

The Cats ga\c up 130 rushing yards iii the wiii
overt astci‘it Kentucky ’lhcy w crc tied at halftime
against Kent State, Against Louisville. they had a
chaiicc to be tip 21 ltbiit missed out on putting the
game away early

And in thc iiiost icccnt victory. a huge road
win over .\rk.insas to open the Southeastern (‘Uttr
lcrcnce schedule. l'ls‘ made plenty of mistakes

They got down Ill It They lost three fiitiiblcs
They gave tip lib‘ yards of rushing The offense
was stagnant in tltc his! half. btit balanced iii the
second.

But they won by two touchdowns

That might s iiind like nitpickiiig but not to

"We can't play like we did this game against
l7lorida Atlantic." said wide receiver Dicky Lyons
it. after the Arkansas game. "We had way too
many mistakes again

The players know they have room to improve.
biit you. the fans. might think this is hypercritical.
Btit it‘s actually a good thing to say the Cats hay c
a ways to go after a in start.

It didn‘t used to be like this for the eternally
siiakcAl‘vitten l'K football team. In the past. they
had to play a perfect game to win. and even then
they w cren‘t going to win.

Now. because of a talctit and depth surge. they
can win with a less-thanw‘v effon.

Three tumbles in a game vised to mean a
tltrcc~touchdovv n defeat

Losing several players to initii‘y dtiriiig the
game. including three at the same position. used to
mean it would take your hands and your feet to
count how many freshmen. sophomores and w alkv
ons were on the field at any given time.

Not anymore.

But inst imagine how good they could be
when they finally put it all together.

"We can‘t keep digging ourselves in a hole
and putting ourselves in those situations becatisc
w c might get iii a fight that we can not win." said
w idc receiver Keenan Burton.

That statement is true arid false. The Cats have
shown they can rally. btit they can‘t afford to not
play flawless football in October when they play
No. lo South Carolina. No, 2 Louisiana State arid
.\'o. J l'lorida back-to-back-to7back. The Cats are
better. btit a perfect effort is still required against
those tcattts

So the (‘ats' goal front here on out is simple:
play sound football for 60 minutes. establish the
running and passing games. limit the big plays
and execute.

Those are some cliches people around here
would be happy to continue to hear.

Defense paying dividends for Cats

ltis one of the oldest

for the LR volleyball team it‘s

“I feel like on offense we

The Cats average Jtlsl over
three blocks a game. the best in
