Three seniors led by example
as Cats enjoyed historic season

For four
years we've
watched Kei-
th Bogans.
Jules Cama-
ra and Mar-
quis Estill
play their
hearts out for
a team that
has been
through its
share of emotional highs and
lows. battling its way to two
Southeastern Conference
Tournament championships.
But Saturday was the last
we'll see of them in UK uni-
forms after a disappointing
NCAA quarterfinal loss to
Marquette.

The Cats faced a turning
point at the beginning of the
season. Following the year of
"Team Turmoil." coach Tub-
by Smith did some house-
cleaning and put together
what he believed was a
championship team even if
no one else did. And he
leaned on his three seniors
to help him in his quest for a
turnaround season.

Without a doubt. the road
looked to be a bumpy one
from the beginning. The Cats
lost to Virginia in the Maui
Invitational on Nov. 26 and
fellow Elite Eight squad
Michigan State on Dec. 14.
The infamous Louisville loss
on Dec. 28. when the Cats fell
to the Cardinals and Rick
Pitino by 18 points. further
increased skepticism. The
fans and the media were giv-
ing up hope. and the Cats
looked to be on the same path
as last year.

But the players kept their
heads high and their vision of
a championship in sight. After
two early wins against Ten-
nessee and South Carolina.
UK traveled to Nashville to
face Vanderbilt. The game is
now famous as the turning
point of the season. Down 16
at halftime. UK came out of
the locker room a new team. A
team that would put defense
first and begin its 26—game
winning streak that would
lead it to the Elite Eight in the
NCAA tournament.

The leaders of this new
team, quickly named the
"Suffocats." were none other
than Bogans. Camara and
Estill. Who better to lead the
Cats on the floor than the
most experienced players?

Bogans' game and men-
tality did a complete 180. Af-
ter struggling during his ju-
nior year. when shots would
not fall and fans were giving
up hope. Bogans seemed to re‘
gain his confidence and com-
posure. With that in place. the
whole team seemed to follow.

"He '3 been a part of the.
heart and soul of this team."
Tubby said after Saturday's
loss. "His competitiveness is
contagious. and I think that
shows. He'll just be phenome-
nal at the next level."

Saturday's loss to Mar
quette put an end to the Cats‘
26-game winning streak and
an end to Bogans‘ and Cama-
ra's college careers. For Es
till. there is still the possibili-
ty of a return if he meets the
eligibility criteria,

lanky forward who had little
experience compared to his
teammates. Critics said he
would not amount to much if
he didn't bulk up. Looking at
Camara today. he still seems
a little skinny. but his agility
and ball handling skills have
improved.

Estill. unlike Camara.
was criticized for his lack of
agility and for weighing too
much. For him to compete
meant dropping weight and
keeping his legs strong. And
he did just that. Since the be-
ginning of his career. Estill
has dropped 50 to 60 pounds.
He credited the weight loss to
better eating habits and not
eating late at night. His com-
mitment to losing the weight
proves his devotion to the
team.

The idea of "together-
ness" is what sparked the
Cats‘ turnaround this season.
Bogans. Camara and Estill
proved to the rest of the team
that they could lead. No more
ball hogging. no more getting
the ball to one shooter. In re-
sponse. the team came togeth-
er. Sharing responsibilities de-
fensively and letting the shots
fall offensively for whoever
was open. The result: a his-
toric season regardless of how
it ended because the team won
another SEC championship.
sweeping the conference 190.

As for next year. the se-
niors will be missed. Here's
hoping we see Tubby proving
his coaching worth and Estill
back to continue his domi
nance in the paint

wish them the best.

Students shocked
but still proud
after UK's loss

By Dllsth Atkins
STAFF mum

Though the partying
on Euclid and Woodland
avenues will have to wait
for another year. UK stu-
dents are still proud of
their team, which ended
its 26game winning
streak in a stunning 83459
loss to Marquette Satur-
day. The loss robbed the
Wildcats of a trip to the
Final Four.

“It was a complete
surprise. but I'm not that
angry." said Doug Gas-
tright. a computer science
junior.

Gastright had hoped
to see the Wildcats in the
Final Four before he grad-
uated. but still appreciates
the season they had. “It
was a bad loss. but I think
the rest of the season
makes up for it." Gas-
tright said.

Amy Abbott. a sports
marketing freshman.
shares that sentiment.

“Yesterday's game
shocked all of us; howev-
er. we should still be
proud of our Wildcats for
what they achieved all
season long." Abbott said.

Riding on the nation's
longest winning streak.

Task force studies
student drinking,
UK alcohol policy

Changes? Rules for off-campus events examined

By Rebecca Neal
STAFF WRITER

A recently formed alcohol task force may create new
guidelines for how campus organizations can serve alcohol
at offcampus events. one UK administrator said.

“We want to be sure that guidelines are established for on
or off campus student organizations that are hosting events
so that they are following good risk management strategies."
said Patricia Terrell. vice president of student affairs.

Terrell said the rules would address underage drinking
and liability issues.

“For example. SG (Student Government) and SAB (Stu-
dent Activities Board) host off campus activities where alco-
hol is available at a cash bar. and we want to make sure alco
hol isn‘t the focus of any event and that organizations are
being responsible." Terrell said.

President Lee Todd. who formed the alcohol task force
in cooperation with Terrell, said universities need to study
student attitudes toward alcohol.

“We should be concerned about alcohol consumption
across college campuses, not just with underage students
but with responsible alcohol use as well.“ Todd said.

Todd said UK should work with neighborhoods around
the campus to develop a better alcohol policy. something he
said might have prevented the creation of the Lexington
Area Party Plan. “We want to reduce the friction between
the university and the city we should be talking together
about these issues.“ he said.

Those invited to be on the task force include Iexington
Mayor Teresa Isaac. vice-mayor and owner of Lexington’s
Applebee's franchises Mike Scanlon. neighborhood associa-
tion members and bar owners. Todd said.

Two students will also be part of the task force. The stu-
dents are James Adams. the vice president of external rela-
tions for the Interfraternity Council. and Mary Katherine
Thompson. 805 president.

One administrator said that student input is important
but may be hard to get. ”It‘s hard to get schedules coordinat-
ed so students can come to the meetings." said Meg Quarles,
the assistant dean of students and the director of the Health
and Alcohol Education Programming Office at UK.

She said the task force should conduct surveys and stud-
ies to learn about alcohol use among students.

“We want to get an accurate picture of what are our stu-
dents' habits and behaviors." she said.

Quarles said she was delighted Todd was putting more
focus on educating students about alcohol use and creating
more responsible policies.

“Now I feel like we've got more university support than
we've had in the past.“ Quarles said.

lyze how well embedding
work

Embedding is possible in
part due to the widespread
availability of digital cam-
eras and satellite technology.

“The biggest change has
been the digital camera. In
Vietnam and the Gulf War,
film had to be gotten from
the photographer, flown
someplace to be developed
and then sent to the paper.”
said Woods. “You‘re looking.

of days 01

Today. a photographer
takes a digital picture. down-
loads it onto his computer,
and sends it via satellite to
the paper.

“Information is immedi-
ate. There is almost no filter
on the images at all." said
David Foky, news director at
Channel 36, about the use of
videophones. also used for
Iraqi reporting.

“You can’t put images in
context or control them. and
that's a real concern for me.”
Foky said. “What you see is
live television coverage of
wartime battles. Anything
could happen."

Foky said he expects
videophones to get lighter.
clearer and more affordable.
This means more graphic
images and less editorial
control. “We‘ve always had to
make tough decisions. “War
is war. and I think the pic-
tures portray that."

"Losing Bogans is really
going to hurt because he
showed by playing through
pain that he knows what it
means to wear that jersey."
Hardin said

The mood on campus is
somber. but Hardin said this
team did justice to the [TR
tradition. "A .‘l2win season so
lidifies our dominance among
the college ranks." he said.
