Points to ponder

Now I get it!

Why are there 5,280
feet to a mile? Why
not a number like
5,000?

The answer to this lies
with the English. They
got it from the
Romans, who once
ruled part of Britain.
The Romans had a
measure called the
mille pasuum (ME-lay
PA~soo-em), literally.
“a thousand paces."
Each pace consisted
of five Roman feet.
for a total of 5,000
feet per mile.

Unfortunately, the
English had another
idea. Besides the
mile, they had a
measurement called
the furlong. which
was used to measure
farmers' fields. A
furlong is said to be
the distance a horse
could pull a plow in a
straight long before
having to rest. It was
660 feet long.

The English wanted to
have eight furlongs to
the mile. Trouble was,
8 times 660 was
5,280. So somebody
realized that it made
more sense to pick
one or the other. The
English picked 5,280
feet for the mile.

This choice was made
because most
property deeds at the
time had been figured
out in furlongs that
were 660 feet long. if
this had been
changed. many
farmers would have
lost property.

Why are stoplights
Red. Yellow and
Green?

Early traffic officials
borrowed the red-
yellow-green code
from the railroads,
which used it for the
track signals used to
control trains.

The railroads chose red
for the stop signal
because for
thousands of years it
had been a signal for
danger. Red is the
color of blood. So if
you want to tell
people to stop, lest
they face death and
destruction, red
makes sense.

The other colors were
pretty much pulled
out of a hat. When the
railroads got started
in the 18305 and
l8405, the color for
caution was green
and the color for go
was clear - white.
After a while, it
became apparent that
these colors
presented some
serious problems. It
was easy to mistake
an ordinary white
light (say, a street
lamp) for a go signal.

Traffic engineers,
knowing they had a
good thing when they
saw one, borrowed
this system for use in
stoplights.

Students finding enjoyable

These are just a few of the
problems that students are
forced to deal with when liv-

Man Who
spread AIDS
sentenced

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MAYVILLE. N.Y. -— A man accused
of infecting least 13 young women with
the AIDS virus through unprotected sex
was sentenced yesterday to four to 12
years in prison.

Nushawn Williams. 22, struck a plea
bargain after only two victims agreed to
testify. Some of the other women never
came forward.

Investigators said Williams traded
drugs for sex with young women and
teens he approached in schools and parks.

The case spread fear across rural
western New York when it became public
in October 1997. State confidentiality laws
prevent people who are HIV positive from
being identified. But prosecutors persuad-
ed a judge to disclose Williams‘ identity
and allow for his photo to be distributed.

Williams. who is already serving a
prison sentence for selling crack, pleaded
guilty to statutory rape for having sex
with a 13-year-old girl. He also pleaded
guilty to reckless endangerment for hav-
ing unprotected sex with another teen-
ager. She later contracted the AIDS virus.

Williams claimed he didn‘t believe
the public health nurse who told him he
was HIV-positive, so he continued having
unprotected sex.

“He‘s not an evil person.“ defense at-
torney Richard Slater said. “He's been
painted as an evil person. He feels badly
that he’s ill. He expressed to me the con-
cern he may not live out his sentence.“

Williams pleaded guilty to a similar
reckless endangerment charge involving
a 15year—old girl in New York City and is
awaiting sentencing.

He’s been

painted
as an evil
person.
He feels
badly
that he’s
ill. He
expresse
d to me
the con-
cern he
may not
live out
his sen-
tence.”

Gamecocks
beat Cats

But UK does upset No.10-
ranked South Carolina once

By Matt Hay
SPORTSDAILY EDITOR

A promising Friday upset turned into a
long weekend for the UK softball team, as
the Cats returned to Lexington after win-
ning only one of four games against No. 10
South Carolina in Columbia, SC.

After shocking the Gamecocks 4-2 on
Friday night, UK played South Carolina
closely, but lost the last three games of the
series, 63 in the second game Friday, and 3
2 and 8-1 in Saturday’s doubleheader.

UK (17-25 overall, 26 Southeastern
Conference) faced off against the confer-
ence’s leading pitcher in South Carolina’s
Megan Matthews in Friday’s opener,
pounding out eight hits against the fresh-
man. UK’s Beth Fogle. Angie Dal Pozzo and
Tiffany Kruse each had two hits for the

Wildcats.

The Cats took an early 1-0 lead, but
Carolina (34-9 overall, 9-3 SEC) responded

to tie it at one.

UK took a lead it would never relin-
quish in the top of the fifth, as Sandi Den-
gler and Dal Pozzo used a double steal to
score Dal Pozzo and give UK a 2-1 lead.

The Cats added two more insurance
runs in the sixth, as Kruse and Leslie
Kwiatkowski hit back-to-back singles. Dal
Pozzo's double scored both Kruse and
Kwiatkowski, making the score 4-1.

Despite giving up a solo home run by
South Carolina‘s Kim Pietro with only
one out left in the game, UK star pitcher
Keary Camunas shut down the Game-
cocks over the last three innings. ensur-

ing the win and moving her record to 9-8

on the season.

The win was UK’s first ever over a top-
10 team in its three-year history.

Fogle finished the second game of Fri-
day‘s doubleheader, going 3—for-4.

The Cats almost pulled off a second up-
set on Saturday, as they lead 2-1 with two
outs in the final inning. But a line drive by
Carolina’s Adrienne Genovese skipped off

center fielder Kwiatkowski‘s glove, scoring
the tying and winning runs.

The Cats will return to action this Fri-
day when SEC rival Georgia arrives in Lex- at 1 pm.

Cats pul big upset

Coming off a huge upset of
No. 18 Mississippi State, the UK
men’s tennis team travels to
Nashville for a meeting with
Vanderbflt today.

UK is now 126 overall and 5—
3 in the Southeastern Conference,
while the Commodores are 109
overall and only 3-4 in the SEC.

Vanderbilt is coming off a
5-2 loss to Alabama-Birming-
ham on Sunday.

The upset over Mississippi
State went down to the wire on
Saturday at the Hilary J. Boone
Tennis Center. UK was playing

its sixth match in a IDday time
span, but mustered enough en-
ergy to down the Bulldogs (8-9
overall, 25 in SEC).

UK took the No. 1 and No. 3
doubles’ matches, as Johan
Hesoun and Patrik Johansson
defeated MSU’s Conrad Hurter
and Daniel Healey 8-4. while
UK’s Edo Bawono and Tomas
Smid beat David Ruiz and
Mathieu Soto 8-5.

But the Bulldogs took the
No. 2 doubles and the top three
singles matches to take a 3-2
lead in the overall match. MSU‘s
Ballay defeated UK’s Carlos Dra-
da 3—6, 7—5, 63 in No. 1 singles. Je
remy Bayon beat Hasoun in a
shortened match at No. 2 singles
and Hurter beat UK’s Smid 3-6,
61, 7-6 at No. 3 singles.

The Cats won the last three
singles‘ matches to comeback

and post the upset. UK‘s Gustav
Pousette beat Ruiz 3-6,6-3, 6-2,
while UK’s Grunditz defeated
MSU‘s Healey 6-2, 76 to set up
the tie-breaking final match of
the day.

In that match, UK‘s Bawono
stormed from behind to beat
Mississippi State‘s Soto 6-7, 7-5,
61 and give UK the upset.

Golffilishesflfth

The UK men’s golf team
took home fifth place at the 14th
annual Johnny Owens Invita-
tional at Kearney Hills Golf
Links just outside of Lexington.

UK’s three-round total
score of 897 was 17 strokes bee
hind team champion Miami
University.

The best individual perfor-
mance by a Wildcat came from
Jeremy Langley, who finished

in a tie for seventh with a score
of 219. UK's John Beckett took
17th with a 222, while Jay
Knight finished 26th with a 226.

UK will be back on the
course next weekend in West
Virginia at the Marshall (Uni-
