BROWN WINS SG PRESIDENCY

349 more voters go
to the polls than in
last year's election

By Sean Rose
THE KENTUCKY KENNEL

After 15 minutes of anx-
ious waiting, the Student Cen-
ter patio erupted with ap-
plause and cheers last night
when Jonah Brown was
named next year’s Student
Government president.

Brown won by 441 votes
and raised a number one over
his head as supporters threw
their arms in the air, hugging
the future president. Friends
laughed and shouted, “Presi-
dent Brown!” while his dad
videotaped the celebration.

“Words can’t describe how
I feel,” Brown said. “I'm so
grateful for everyone who
made this possible. I couldn’t
have done this alone.”

Brown said he wasn’t sure
he was going to win before the
announcement.

“This was a close race,"
Brown said. “All the cam-
paigns worked hard today.”

“I was so proud of our
campaign at five o’clock today
that I knew if we didn’t win
there was nothing else we
could have done,” he said.
pausing to tell a call on his
cell phone that he had won as
he hit down on a celebratory
cigar.

Brown’s running mate.
Mallory Jenkins. echoed his
excitement and uncertainty
before the results were read,

Dining,

UK students voted yes to
both referendums presented
on this week’s election ballots
last night.

The Election Board of Su-
pervisions announced that
the student vote approved the
petition to return the dining
plan to a declining-balance
system and the Green Thumb
sponsored suggestion to raise
student fees by $6 to $8 for re-
newable energy sources.

Though they did not ex-
pect much student opposition,
the parties behind each refer-
endum were relieved after the
announcement.

“It was a long couple of
days," Green Thumb member

Gas leak shuts down N Rose Street for hours

me KENTUCKY War

A UK police officer on bike
patrol caught a whiff of natur~
al gas in front of Maxwell
Place, forcing evacuations and
closing off a portion of Rose
Street while the gas line could
be repaired.

Officer Bryan Caulk said
he noticed the odor just before
7 pm. yesterday and decided to
call another officer. Sgt. Bob
Pearl, for a second opinion.

Upon Pearl's arrival, he con-
firmed the odor of gas.

“It was real easy to detect.
You could smell it.” Caulk said.
“It was strong enough for me

to get off my bike and notice.“

Pearl then called Lexington
Fire Department to come to
the scene.

“We’re better safe than sor-
ry," Pearl said. explaining that
this is standard procedure for
all leaks. even one as small as
last night's.

Several structures includ-
ing the Alpha Delta Pi and
Delta Delta Delta sorority
houses and St. Augustine‘s
Episcopal Chapel were evacu-
ated and Rose Street was
closed off from Patterson Dri~
ve to Columbia Avenue for
about three hours. Rose Street
was reopened around 10 pm.

Capt. Mark Cole. with the

Lexington Fire Department.
said the structures were evacu-
ated and checked for accumu-
lations of gas. which could
pose a hazard.

“Just to be on the safe side,
we want to check inside the
structures and make sure
there’s no gas inside.“ Cole
said.

Maj. Joe Monroe, with UK
police. said every situation gets
the same level of attention.

“It’s always a big deal be
cause of the situation. When
it’s undetected. it could get into
the building and cause a fire."
Monroe said.

Those guidelines. Cole said.
are for everyone's protection.
including the evacuees.

“We use the same protocols
for the safety of the residents
and for the safety of us." Cole

said. “We can‘t let people back
inside until the problem is
fixed.

Columbia Gas Company
crews were on site within an
hour of the call and began dig-
ging into the street to repair
the line. which was the same
area where the company had
been doing work about a week
or so ago. Caulk said.

Christy Giles. UK's director
of Emergency Management.
said this type of situation is
something that UK's and Lex-
ington‘s emergency services
are especially prepared to han-
dle because of how easily it
can occur.

“This kind of thing can
happen on a daily basis." Giles
said.

Nick & Kristin:
Getting Hotter

Lachey and Cavallari ramp up their
romance — while still seeing others

 

By Kevin O'Leary

For some of Hollywood's undercover cou-
ples, only faraway beaches or hideaway
bungalows at the Chateau Marmont will
do. But Nick Lachey and Kristin Cavallari
prefer to keep things simple. On March 25,
the new couple —— who had their first
sleepover three nights before - made it a
Blockbuster night, hanging at the singer’s
$5.5 million home in the Bel Air section of
LA. with delivery dinner and a slew of
videos. “They were couch potatoes togeth-
er" says a source close to Cavallari.
"They’re not ready to go public, but this
was the next best thing to a normal dinner
and a movie."

After his marriage to Jessica Simpson
crashed and burned, you would think that
Nick Lachey would be wary of beautiful
blondes on the road to stardom. Think
again. Sources tell Us Lachey, 32, and
rebound lover Cavallari, 19, have moved
from casual hookups to a full-blown rela-
tionship. “Nick and Kristin are officially
dating,” says a Cavallari pal. “They are
talking and texting all the time. He's
always sending her notes, making her
laugh. It’s cute!”

Tender Trap

So how did the ex-boy-bander — who has
been insisting t0 pals that he's not ready
for a girlfriend — get so caught up in love?
Let‘s just say things are all going accord-

ing to Cavallari’s plan. “She basically
tracked him down for weeks,” a pal says of
the Laguna Beach vixen, famous for her
ability to manipulate the opposite sex. “If
she heard he was going to a club, she
would make sure she was there. She
worked it!” And, well, it worked. “She likes
him and he obviously likes her,” says
another Cavallari source. “They could
hang out nonstop.” (Still, a Lachey source
insists, "they are not boyfriend and girl-
friend. They’re free to hang out with other

people”)
Rising Heat

So just how intense is it going to get?
Although the two have both been spotted
with other potential mates, Cavallari has
already taken the first step toward
monogamy. ending things with her on-
again, off-again boyfriend, Princes of
Malibu star Brody Jenner, 22. "Now that
Nick has said he’s really into her, Kristin
told Brody she's dating N ick," says a
source.

Could the next step be going public?
"They'll do it when they do it," says a
Cavallari source. “But not right now”
Better hurry, or they might have some
flashbulb competition. Jenner is telling
pals he's out for revenge, in the form of a
date with Lachey’s ex when she’s back
from filming Employee of the Month in
Santa Fe. "Brody and Jessica know each
other from the clubs,” says the Jenner
friend. “He can’t wait for her to get back to
LA."

The Score lines up ‘weekend warriors’
every week with the club sport crew

Welcome to the first weekly issue of The Kernel’s
newest sports extra, The Score.

Like its features counterpart, Kernel Pop!. The Score
brings extra coverage of the events that usually don’t get
as much press, such as intramural sports and club
sports. You’ll also sometimes find more of the main-
stream campus sports talking points ~ like the Final
Four analysis at the bottom of this
page.

Today, you’ll find a story about a
table tennis team. made up of UK stu-
dents, putting up the money to play
for a national championship in Texas.

You’ll also find the fraternity and
sorority intramural standings. good
through the inner-tube water polo
, . , event, and pictures from last week-
Chris end’s Ultimate Frisbee competition.
J II The point totals from that event

0 IISOII were not available at press time. but
SPORTS EDITOR we’ll have them next week a sorry

Our goal for The Score is to give
coverage to the sports at UK being played by the people
in your classes. that cute guy you see in the Student Cen-
ter every day, or that hot girl you saw at the bar last
weekend but didn't have the stones to go up and talk to.

We want to start some conversations and get some

 

 

 

weekend warriors the publicity they so richly deserve.

 

Because we can‘t really call ourselves a student newspa-
per if we don’t cover 90 percent of the student body.
Ordinarily, we’ll also have coverage of the varsity
athletes seen in The Kernel every day. This week. with
the advent of The Score, we decided to simply go with
the little guys. Look to wwwkykernelcom for coverage

Marty Prater, a member of UK's club table tennis team, s

 

of varsity athletics, and they’ll be back in next Friday
So this is for all the people who watch UK football
games and think, “I could do that.”
No, you couldn’t. But neither can 90 percent of us.
So if you‘re reading this while icing your ankle from
falling down the stairs after you ran the perfect route
and made the gamewinning catch in your backyard foot-
ball game, relax.
You’re among friends.

Louisiana State

Sg‘engths: Frontcourt. No
one in the tournament (or the
nation. yet) has been able to
handle the combination of
center. and Kernel Southeast-
ern Conference Player of the
Year Glen “Big Baby" Davis
and SEC Freshman of the
Year Tyrus Thomas

Thomas can jump out of
the gym. Being afoot-10 does-
n't hurt. either.

Davis is agile enough to
play forward and made a huge
3-pointer in the regional semi-
final matchup against Duke.

Vkikggsses: Youth and in-
experience. Thomas is a fresh-
man, Davis is a sophomore (Y).
This is LSU’s first Final Four
trip since 1986. so no one. even
coach John Brady. has been to
the main stage of the Big
Dance yet.

UCLA

mm: Defense. The
Bruins brought head coach
Ben Howland's aggressive
East Coast. in-your-face defen-
sive style to the Pac-10 this
season It was successful:
UCLA finished 14- 4 In confer-

ence play and won the Pac-10
tournament while finishing
10th in the nation in total de-
fense (58.6 points per game).
The Bruins also beat Memphis
5045 in the Elite Eight. forcing
the Tigers into 31.5 percent
shooting and 18 turnovers.
The backcourt is great.
Howland‘s guards lead the
team in scoring. Aaron Afflalo
and Jordan Farmar are the
only two players averaging
doubledigit scoring.
Weaknesses: Matchups.

don‘t have that kind of athleti-
cism. Plus. Thomas is there.
PREDICTION: In what-
ever the opposite of an offen-
sive fireworks display would
be. LSU advances with its
frontcourt. Tigers by eight.
George Mason
Strengths: Slippers. The
Cinderella story of the Patri-
ots is amazing: the entire na-

tion outside Louisiana, Flori-
da and half of Los Angeles is
rooting for them. They beat
No. 6 seed Michigan State, No.
3 seed North Carolina. No. 7
Wichita State and No. 1 Con-
necticut to get to Indy. so they
haven’t had the road paved for
them.

The Patriots’ defense is
staunch. They allowed less
than 60 points per game this
season, and finished 10th in
the NCAA in field-goal per-
centage defense (38.7 percent).

And they have a surpris-
ing talent level. Mason’s suc-
cess can’t be all chalked up to
good fortune. Center Jai
Lewis (Moot-7, 275) is a big.
athletic body inside that is go
ing to make Florida's big men
work for their points.

Wsses: Depth. The
Patriots played five players
from 10:37 of the second half
against UConn until the final
buzzer sounded at the end of
overtime. But hustle isn’t a
problem by a long shot.

Florida

Siengths: Athletes and
matchups. Joakim Noah is
long. He’s Moot-11, but still

has the dexterity and range of
motion to be able to utilize a
drop step move on the afoot-8
Davis, then make a move and
shoot over Tyrus Thomas.
There’s no reason to be able to
think he can't do that against
the 6foot-7 Lewis and Will
Thomas.

And you can’t argue with
the coaching. Billy Donovan is
the best coach left in the tour-
ney: UCLA‘s Howland is great.
and Mason's Jim Larranga
won a coach of the year ballot
last week, but this is Born
van’s second trip to the Final
Four with two NBA-type play-
ers and a bunch of spare parts.

Wes: Overconfi-
dence. Noah's George of the
Jungle fist-bumping routine
became commonplace around
the SEC. And the perimeter
defense is suspect. All of Ma-
son‘s starting guards, along
with the rest of their starting
five, average in double figures.
This is a group that can shoot.

PREDICTION: Mason’s
run ends, but not in the way
many people think. Florida by
two.

California sits atop the men's table ten-
nis ratings. Texas. Virginia and Mary-
land are also in the top 10.

The NC'I'I‘A consists of 16 divisions.
Each team in the division competes in
the regular season. and the top two
teams based on a point system teams
receive two points for a win, one point
for a non-default loss and zero points for
a default loss —— move on to nationals.

UK is in the Ohio division along with
Big Ten powers Ohio State and Michigan
State. Akron. Oberlin. Marshall.
Shawnee State. Wright State. Case West-

ern Reserve and Northern Kentucky
Ohio State finished first. while the Cats
slid past Michigan State by a point for
second.

Along the way to nationals, the team
compiled an 11-4 record. No victory was
more important than the 5-0 revenge
drubbing they handed Michigan State. a
game that likely propelled them past the
Spartans in the standings and on to na-
tionals.

The team also has struggled to find
places to practice. The team was practic-
ing three days a week at the Seaton Cen-
ter, but were bumped by other activities
and now use those facilities one day a
week.

“A lot of these dorms have tables in
them as well. so we are able to just go
over to the dorms and just hit some
there," Rogier said.

Money is a concern as well. Student
Government provides $500. along with a
stipend from the NC’I'I‘A. The rest of the
funds come from the players themselves.
Rogier has even written a letter to UK
President Lee Todd to no avail.

“I realize funding is pretty tight right
now," Rogier said.

Regardless of the adolescent exis-
tence that leaves them as a long shot to
take home the national championship.
hope still remains for the players. When
asked whether they can make an improb
able run like George Mason did in the
men‘s NCAA basketball tournament, Ro
gier laughed.

“We‘ll be the Cinderella story of the
table tennis community,“ he said.

“Five minutes before they
announced and up until the
last second I had no idea,”
Jenkins said. “I’m just so hap
py I’m ecstatic for next
Year'l!

Brown received 1,484 votes
while presidential candidate
Preston Worley had 1,043. The
third presidential candidate,
Andy Bates received 640 votes.
There were 349 more voters
this year than last year.

Worley said he hopes
Bmwn can follow through on
his campaign plans.

“I wish Jonah the best,”
Worley said. “I hope he can re
store some legitimacy to stu-
dent government."

Bates said he hoped
Brown will “truly represent
the entirety of the student
body instead of a select few.”

“As for the future of stu-
dent government we can only
hope that the new president
isn’t polishing the brass on
the Titanic,” Bates said.

Of the 25 senators on
Brown’s ticket, 16 were elect-
ed. Jason Robinson, an elect—
ed senator-at-large on Brown’s
ticket said their success was
proof that the students recog-

nized them as the right lead—
ers.

“We presented a really di‘
verse ticket that wanted to
help the student body out,”
Robinson said. “We’re not go
ing to let tonight be the best
night, we’re going to keep it
going through the summer
and the school year.”

Brown said he was proud
of his ticket but sorry for the
ones who weren't elected.

When asked if he expect-
ed any losing candidates to
file election violation claims
he said, “I hope not.”

“You never know, but we
ran a clean campaign. The

most important part of this is
that the students have spo
ken,” he said, adding that it
was significant that more stu-
dents voted this year than
last.

“That just shows the stu-
dents have been paying atten-
tion and see potential in stu~
dent government.”

For now, Brown said he
would celebrate and rest but
was ready for his upcoming
work.

“We got a lot of stuff to
get started I can’t wait to
get in office,” Brown said.
