Former residents

reflect on times in
Boyd. Jewell halls

Lauren Ditsch remembers a
day when she hit a golf ball into
a dorm bathroom — and how the
golf game among Boyd Hall resi-
dents continued to Memorial
Coliseum.

“The second floor girl‘s bath-
room was the first ‘hole.’ and the
only rules were that
whoever had the
fewest strokes won"
Ditsch said in an e—
mail. “And if by
chance a window or
a light got busted. it
was every man for
himself."

From “shower
parties“ to study
groups. the residents
found creative ways
to get through the
school years. But
Boyd and Jewell
Hall. both located on North Cam-
pus. will not reopen next year be—
cause of low occupancy. UK an—
nounced last month.

Ditsch. an accounting senior
who lived in Boyd for two years.
said that the atmosphere of Boyd
separates it from other dorms.
She said that sense of community
has existed in Boyd since her fa-
ther lived there in the late l970s.

David Ditsch. now a member
of UK‘s faculty. said the small

"They’re just
buildings, but
they have a
sentimental
value to me as
a UK student."

PAULO STOCHAJ

number of people living in Boyd
Hall made it easy to be close to
everyone in the building.

“There was something satis-
fying about being a survivor of
Boyd Hall’s tiny rooms, pipes
hanging from the ceiling. no air
conditioning, a heating system
that was hotter than the door
hedges of hell and bathrooms
with no urinals." Ditsch said in
an e-mail.

Paulo Stochaj. a
biology senior who
lived in Jewell Hall
and had several class-
es in Boyd. said Jew-
ell was a cozy living
atmosphere and it
would be a waste for
it to just sit there.

“They‘re just
buildings." Stochaj
said in an e-mail.
“but they have a sen-
timental value to me
as a UK student."

Johannah Oldiges, an English
senior who lived in Boyd during
the 2004-05 school year. said she
got to know most of the people
who lived in the dorm with her.

“People would study in the
study room together. hang out in
the TV area. and the best part
was that anyone passing by ebuld
join the group already hanging
out." Oldiges said in an e-mail.

Smoking ban changes
could be on the horizon

By Jill Lester
ilaster@kykernel.com

In the next few years. UK
President Lee Todd would like to
see students lighting up after
class much farther than 20 feet
away from classroom buildings.

A ban on smoking anywhere
on the UK campus is possible in
the‘next year or two. Todd said in
an interview yesterday after the
Board of Trustees. the universi-
ty‘s highest governing body. had
a first reading on a change that
would shift control of UK's
smoking policy to the president.

How the university will en-
force the smoking regulations is
still undecided, Todd said. and
there are no definite plans yet to
change UK‘s smoke-free policy.
The boards vote on changing
who controls the smoking policy
could come as soon as the next
meeting in April. _

Right now. the board must
authorize changes to the tobacco
policy. Todd said the shift in au-
thority is so he doesn't have to
go to the board every time the
administration considers policy
changes.

In 2006. the state legislature
mandated that all public universi-
ties formally adopt a smoking
policy. In November 2006. the

Board of Trustees approved a
policy that required smokers to
stand 20 feet from entrances. ex-
its. windows or air intakes.
Smoking in all university-owned
or -operated buildings. including
parking garages and pedways. is
also prohibited.

N0 committees met to
change regulations after the cam—
pus policy took effect in Novem-
ber 2006. said UK spokesman
Jay Blanton. Blanton said the
idea of officials all over main
campus looking for smokers is
unrealistic.

“To some extent. you‘re rely-
ing on peoples' willingness."
Blanton said. “You expect people
not to litter. you expect people
not to cheat."

Although no plans are in
place for the main UK campus.
the medical center is planning a
complete ban on smoking.

Right now. the UK Hospital
has two designated smoking ar-
eas. and Good Samaritan Hospi-
tal has one. In November. those
areas will be eliminated by the
medical center‘s ban. which has
been under discussion since early
in the school year.

Some hospital employees
question whether the ban can be

Tanning beds near campus
have seen business spike in the
weeks leading up to Spring
Break. but while students may
be doing tanning salons a fa-
vor. tanning does no favor for
the skin. said Susan Griffith. a
doctor at the UK HealthCare
Clinic.

Many people try and build a
base Ian at a tanning bed to
avoid burning in the actual sun.
but this practice is dangerous.
Griffith said.

“There is no safe way to
tan.“ she said. “Every study
shows a direct link between tan-
ning beds and skin cancer.“

Even with the results of
these studies. Griffith said she

does not believe that the number
of people tanning has declined.

“People worry about the ef-
fects of X-rays on their bodies.
but not about the effects of
harmful rays on their skin." she
said. “Some people just don‘t re-
alize that a tan is really sun
damage.“

Heather Roby. a middle
school education sophomore.
said she feels like she looks bet—
ter when she has a tan. and tan-
ning could help her avoid get-
ting bumed over the break.

“If I am going to be out in
the sun a lot during the break. I
feel like my visits to the tanning
bed will keep me from getting
burned since I will already have
a base tan.“ Roby said.

A £5 to 30 minute visit to
the tanning bed is equal to an

Slow-down style of play not Cats' intention

By Travis Waldron
Maldron®kyltarnolcom

Twenty thousand orange—clad Tennessee
fans stood still. Five blue jerseys stood just
as still. One orange ball pounded into the
floor, over and over again. All as the big or-
ange numerals above the basket ticked'clos-
er to zero.

Countless times. Tennessee fans had got—
ten their hopes up. Another shot clock viola—
tion was coming. And countless times. UK
players dashed their hopes with the quietest
sound in the gym: the swish.

UK ran an imperfect style of basketball
to perfection Sunday in Knoxville. stalling
for 34 seconds at a time before finally hit-
ting pay din. Doing enough — just enough
—-- to hang with the Volunteers for 5‘) min—
utes and 57 seconds.

But slowing the game to a crawl wasn‘t
the game plan going in. said head coach Bil-
ly Gillispie.

“We haven‘t set out at any time to say.
‘Hey. we‘re going to hold the ball or we‘re
going to be slow.” Gillispie said. “We‘re
not going into the game saying we need to
keep it in the 50s or 60s or 80s or 90s or
whatever. We‘re going to play the game as it
unfolds."

Senior guard Joe Crawford said Ten-
nessee‘s defense forch UK to slow down.
and the Cats worked with what they had.

"They were pressuring us a lot on the
wings." Crawford said. “When we saw it

was working. we kind of went with it. and
we were getting good shots."

Gillispie would like to run more. He fa«
vors getting out in transition. using the de-
fense to set up the offense. But so far this
season. his team hasn't been able to do that.

The Cats are eighth in the Southeastem
Conference in steals. making it hard to cre—
ate easy baskets on fast breaks.

“We‘re going to always try to break at

 

the opportunity." Gillispie said. "This team
hasn't created too many tumovers to get our
defense going and scoring easy baskets.
That's what I'd like to see us get better at."

So instead. the Cats have resorted to do-
ing what they seem to do best: creating op—
portunities by using every second possible
on the offensive end.

“We find ourselves going down in the
shot clock a lot." sophomore guard Derrick
Jasper said. "But we have talented players
like Joe and Ramel (Bradley) that cart create
their own shots."

Crawford and Bradley have kept the
Cats successful in situations that would
force many coaches to reach for the
antacids.

“They're clutch players.‘ (iillispie said.
“They've been great all year. They’ve made
big play after big play. Those guys made
timely shots so far. and hopefully that con.
tinues. They 've been everything to us.

"l couldn‘t be more proud of two guys."

()n a team that's seen its bench short—
ened due to injuries ~-—— Bradley. Jasper and
sophomore forward Ramon Harris all play ed
40 minutes at Tennessee 77 a slow tempo
may seem like the only way to keep the Cats
in games against deeper teams.

But Gillispie said the Cats just need to
keep doing what they do well.

"Our team has played pretty much to
their strengths." (iillispie said. “We've max—
imized our opportunities to get five guys
back and play iive-on—five."

Favre tells Packers he's retiring; agent points to club’s actions

By Tom Silverstoin

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

MILWAUKEE Quarterback Brett
Favre told Green Bay Packers coach Mike
McCarthy on Monday night that he was go—
ing to retire.

But his agent. James (Bus) Cook. told
the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on Tuesday
morning that he believes Favre wants to
play another year and didn‘t get the sense
that the Packers wanted him back all that
badly.

“It‘s my opinion." Cook said of the
Packers‘ lack of interest. ”I know he wants
to play one more year. I do not know much
conversation there was (between Favre and
the Packers) and I don‘t think anyone forced
him to make that decision. But 1 don't know
that anyone tried to talk him out of it."

Cook said that Favre feels physically
and mentally capable of playing at least one
more year.

“I think he wanted to play." (‘ook said. "
I think he's still got it. He knows he's still
got it, I think he felt he could play one more
year. I don‘t know if they told him they real-
ly wanted him to play. That‘s just the feeling
l got."

Cook was asked whether he thought
Favre could be talked into returning: “I
don't know." he said.

McCarthy said recently that he and gen»
eral manager Ted Thompson sat down dur-
ing the bye week of the playoffs and CVtIlLL
ated tape of Favre to determine whcthcr he
could still play. McCarthy said that they
came to the conclusion that he was still able
to play thc game at a high level.

During the oftlseason. there were reports
that Thompson had not done much to en-
courage Favre to return and that Favrc‘s
feeling was that the Packers weren‘t fired up
about bringing him back. After reports sur—
faced of Favrc‘s uneasiness about Thomp-
son‘s lack of communication. 'lhompson

told reporters at the combine that he called
Favre to talk about the future.
