Wilder voted oflcozrrr
for breaking SAB rules

By Gary Wuli

Assistant News Editor

The Student Activities Board called an emer—
gency meeting yesterday to investigate allegations
that Royalty Court nominee Carrie Sterling
Wilder used illegal advertising in her campaign.

“We regret that we had to dis ualify Carrie
Sterling Wilder from her candidacyllor homecom-
ing queen based on violation of rule number three
set forth regarding the Royalty Court,” said SAB
Vice President Winn Ste hens.

\Vilder, candidate or Delta
Gamma social sorority, said last
night she is appealing the ruling.
She said she has hired a lawyer to
investigate her options.

“Right now we are going to try
to work it out through the admin—
istration, and, if necessary, we'll
take it to court," Wilder said.

She said she thought SAB did not have the
required quorern present at the emergency meet-
ing as called for in its by—laws. Rule number {line
of the Royalty Court rules and regulations state
that “any banner, poster or flyers seen on Linivcrv
sity of Kentucky’s campus will be grounds for
immediate disqualification.”

Stephens said only personal advertisements in
the Kentucky Kernel and personal campaigning
for the Royalty Court are allowed.

Early yesterday members of (leres women's
social fraternity filed a complaint stating that
Wilder had violated the Royalty Court rules since
signs were posted in Blazer Hall and Kirwan lll.

Upon the complaint, the SAB was required to
call an emergency session to rule on the allega-
tions made by Ceres.

At 4 p.m., the SAB began a two hour meetin r to
discuss the situation. By 6 p.m., the committee thad
disqualified Wilder.

Stephens said the decision was not based on a
complaint filed by Ceres since no members of that
organization were present at the meeting.

Panel evaluates

Staff Writer

The same night the United Nation's celebrated
its Slst birthday, Saif Malik’s home country of
Zambia was celebrating its independence from the
British.

Malik along with representatives from four
other countries met atJewell Hall last night to dis-
cuss the strengths, weaknesses and relevance of
one of the premier international or anizations.
Titled, “The U.N. at 51: is it still refievant?” the
program was sponsored by the Jewell Internation—
al Livin Learning Center and the Office of lnter-
nationa Affairs.

The panelists, some of whom were from the
Patterson School of Diplomacy, were given time
to discuss what they perceive as hindrances to the
U.N.’s mission. First to speak was Suiatha Korap-
path from India, a country which contains one--
fifth of the world’s population.

Korappath said that while problems do exist.
U.N. programs like the Worlt llealth Organiza-
tion and the International Monetary Fund make
the U.N. indis ensable for developing countries.
The solution, slie said, is to dispel the egocentrism
and the pessimism.

“On the one hand the U.N. has been increas—

ingly receiving criticism from its dubious peace-
keeping operations to its counterproductive devel-
opment laws; from its superior security council
veto to the egalitarianism of the General Assem-
bly” Korappath said. “On the other hand, there
has been a host of rarely published, silent success-
es.”
Arben Ahmetai represented Albania, the U.N.’s
smallest member, and talked about the economic
changes resulting from the intervention of the
IMF and the World Bank in 1991. Since that time,
Ahmetai said, Albania has shifted to a market
economy where individual businesses thrive.

Illt loses in stadium debut

By JIII Erwlii

Stuff IVI'Ittr

For 82:02 of last night’s soccer
match between UK and Indiana,
the Cats played No. 4 IU to a 2-2
tie in the inaugural game at the
new soccer stadium.

However, it was that first 7:58
that came back to haunt the Cats.

En route to a 5-3 loss, UK suf—
fered through two own goals
u ithin the first eight minutes.

The \Vildcats started off the
game a bit off kilter, and Brien
Baltzell scored an own goal at the
{:5 mark.

“I was trying to head it down
the endline, but l was only five
vards off the ball and I didn’t have
time to react," Baltzell said. “It
deflected offone ofour players, I
tried to hit down the line, but it
went in the back ofthe net.”

L'K didn't let it affect them, as
Sean Mondelli scored from right
outside the penalty box less than a
minute later. Mondelli continued
his habit of stepping up against IU
by dropping the ball in past IU’s
goalie and hooking it inside the

back post.

Mondelli also scored the game
winning goal against IL' last year
in overtime.

IIIIIC Iloosiers (“UK the
momentum back by scoring two
inoie goals within four nunutes.

.\|l told, 7:58 into the game, the
(Lats “ch trailing 5-—l.

Following the olfensive outv
burst to start the game, things set—
tled down quite a IHI, and it
became the struggle everyone had
expected. The teams played even—
ly, and the score was 4—1 at the
half following a goal by IL"s Yuri
Lavrinenko.

The Cats were able to come
back otit and cut the deficit to 4-2
when freshman Chris Villainil
scored off an assist from Sean
Endicott. It was Endicott’s ninth
assist of the season, tying a teatn
record.

“It feels good to have it official-
ly,” Endicott said. “I would trade
anything to have a victory against
these gtiys, though."

With the crowd of 1,048
stomping their collective feet and
rutnbling the metal bleachers, UK

stepped up the defensive pressure.
Unfortunately, [U found a way
past it.

Seven minutes later, lU’s Chris
Klein scored from 50 yards out
when the ball hit offthe crossbar,
bounced off the ground, and hit
the top ofthe net.

\Vith just under two minutes
left, Mondelli fulfilled an earlier
prophecy. He told a local TV
reporter that he would score two
goals, and his opportunity came
when IU’s goalie came out after
the ball, and MondelIi was left in a
one—on-one situation.

UK head coach Ian Collins
stressed that although the team
lost, there was nothing to be
ashamed of.

“A lot of other teams would
have folded up shop, gone home
and died, but we didn’t,” he said.

Endicott stressed the same fact.

“We came out early and ran
around like chickens with our
heads cut off, but the guys played
hard and I’m proud of them.”

The team’s next game at home
is Sunday at 2 p.m. against East-
ern Michigan.

Morrison making return

TULSA, Okla —— HIV-infected heavyweight
Tommy Morrison signed a contract that will return
him to the ring Nov. 3 injapan, possibly against a
boxer from Oklahoma City, the fight’s promoter
said yesterday. '

Morrison, who retired in February after testing
positive for the AIDS virus, signed a contract
Wednesday to fight on the undercard of the George
Foreman-Crawford Grimsley bout in Tokyo, said
Foreman’s promoter Ron Weathers.

The bout is considered a warmup to a possible
Foreman—Morrison fight in early 1997, he said.
Morrison outpointed Foreman for the World Box—
ing Organization title in 1993.

Promoters are considering Oklahoma City boxer
Anthony Cooks as his opponent, but have not
signed him, \Veathers said. Several other fighters
also are under consideration, he said.

The fight will be Morrison’s first since testing
positive for IIIV. The 27-year-old fighter said last
month he would fight again to raise money to help
children infected with AIDS.

Cats now able
to step on. field

By Rob Herbal
Am t Spam Editor

So what ifit is 55 days overdue, the new soccer
stadium is finall here.

The women 5 team will walk on the new turf
toni ht as the Cats take on arch-rival Vanderbilt.

K was supposed play on their new field at the
be 'nning of the season, but due to delays the Cats
wiffplay three games and the Southeastern Con—
ference Tournament on the new field which is yet
to be named.

It may have been a long wait for the Cats, but it
was worth it.

“I think alot of us were disa pointed because
we thought that it would be read) before now and
we all got our hopes up," said UK junior forward
Kim LaBelle. “So now to get out here is real excit-

in .”

gOne person who is incredibly excited by the
new field is UK head coach Warren Lipka. His
anticipation resembles that ofa father witnessing
the birth ofa child.

“It’s beautiful. Buck Trotter (head
groundskeeper) and the fie d crew have done a
great job,” said Coach Lipka. “You can see when
you walk around that it’s retty much lush.”

Cage Field may have been a terrific home for
the Cats, but their new field has a couple of extra
perks.

The most important feature to the new stadium
will be lights which will allow the Cats to play
night ames, something the Cage prohibited UK
from oing.

Trotter and crew also put Bermuda grass on the
international—sized pla ‘ng surface.

One concern for UK is a possible lack of a
homefield advantage. Despite losing their final
game at the Cage to Georgia, the Cats were domi—
nant at the Cage. UK won 33 out of46 games on
its hallowed grounds.

“\Ne never played on the field and we always
said that the Cage was our home,” LaBelle said.
“Now when we come on this, we don’t know the
field as well as the Cage."

This may be the least opportune time for UK
to lose a homefield advanta e.

The Cats (10-3—2) wifl take on the Com-
modores (9-7), a team with which UK is all too
familiar.

The fierce rivals met four times last year. Both
teams split in the two regular season games by
winning on their respective homefields.

In ostseason play, the Cats defeated Vandy in
the SEC Tournament but Vandy beat UK in the
NCAA Tournament.

Rivalry games are always important but there is
added emphasis on toni ht’s ame. Both teams,
along with Georgia, are Eocketfin a three-way tie
for second place in the SEC East with a 4-2
record.

“I look at it as a must-win,” Varner said. “It’s a
must-win for us.”

llll swims
past Vols

By 0. Jason Stapleton
Senior Siafl Writer

They say you always
remem er your first time.

The No. 18 UK women’s
swim team was 0-13 against
No. 10 Tennessee coming into
yesterday’s meet.

Throw out the rankings and
the revious record, because
the ildcats upset the Lady
Vols yesterday by a final score
of 125—1 18.

Coach Ga Conelly had
the team tea for the task
when the meet egan.

“I told the team that it was
going to be real close,” Conelly
said. “If we won it, it was
gonna be just a couple of
points.”

It didn’t start out easy for
the Cats, as they were blown
out of the water in the first
event, the 400-yard relay med-
ley.

The next event in the pool
was the 1650-yard freestyle.
UK was favored to win this
event, but Sarah Nichols of
UT swam a great race and took
first place over the Cats’ Leigh
Dalton.

At this point, it wasn’t look-
ing too good for the 'Cats.

Then sophomore Rachel
Komisarz step ed up to the
plate and took first in the 200-
yard freestyle.

The tide continued to
change in the 50 freestyle,
when two UK freshmen,
Annabel Kosten and Jenny
Priester, took first and second
respectively.

At the end of the first six
events the score was tied, 64-
64.

After four more races, two
of which were won by Komis—
arz and Kosten, and the diving
events, UK trailed the Lady
Vols 107—100.

With two events left, it all
came down to the 200 breast-
stroke and the 400 freestyle
relay.

UK needed a win in the 200
breaststroke, but the chances
didn’t look good.

The breaststroke was one of
UT’s better races, and they had
that l3—game winnin streak
against the Cats for ad ed con—
fidence.

Sophomore Emily Grass, a
Knoxville, Tenn, native, took
charge and won the race for
the home team.

"It was a very sweet win,”
Grass said. “I trained with the

irls over the summer,

noxville is my hometown,
and my Mom was here to
watch.”

The score was 114—1 12

oin into the final event, with
K olding the advantage.

The final race was the 400-

yard freestyle rela . UK’s A—

team consisted o Komisarz,
Preister, Jane Reed and
Kosten.

The Cats led the entire

race, and Kosten, a freshman in
her second colle 'ate meet,
showed no fear— inishing the
relay in first place and securing
the win for the Wildcats.

“The other girls already
gave me a head start,” Kosten
said. “But there was still res-
sure and I felt like I cou d do
it.”

Coach Conelly summed it
up perfectly after the meet:

“It doesn’t get any better
than this.”

Now that all of the off—the-field
concerns have been dealt with,
UK can get down to the business
of facing Georgia tomorrow night
at Commonwealth Stadium.

It will be the first of three con-
secutive home games over the next
four weeks for the Cats (1-6 over—
all, 0-4 in the Southeastern (Ion-
ference). After the game against
the Bulldogs (3—3, 2.2), UK will
have an off—week before facing
Nlississippi State and Vanderbilt.

The season — and Bill (lurry’s
career at UK — wraps up on Nov.
23 against No. 6 Tennessee in
Knoxville.

Georgia is a school that has just
finished looking for a new football
coach. UGA Athletics Director
Vince Dooley hired Jim Donnan
last December to replace Ray
Goff, who, much like Curry, was
fired toward the end oflast season.

Donnan comes to Georgia
from Marshall, where he led the
Thundering Herd to the 1992

national championship game.

“The system they’re under has
been most successful with Coach
Donnan at Marshall," Curry said.
“The players are picking it up and
showing improvement week by
week."

The team that Donnan inherit-
ed at Georgia suffered a rash of
injuries in the 1995 season, a sea-
son which saw the ’l)awgs finish
(i-o after a tough 34-27 loss to
Virginia in the Peach Bowl.

Georgia went through three
quarterbacks and seven running
backs during the season. However,
many of those who still had eligi-
bility remaining returned this sea—
son.

Included amon these is junior
t uarterback Mike Bobo. Bobo was
t e starter at the beginning of last
season, but he suffered a fractured
knee against Ole Miss in the
fourth game of the year.

Thus far in I996, Bobo has
exhibited 88-of—I85 passing for
1,215 yards. But he has not exactly
thrown all his asses to players
wearing red antfblack, as he has
11 interceptions to go with his
seven touchdowns.

Another layer who started
1995 with a bang, but suffered a
foot injury which knocked him out
for the season, is tailback Robert
Edwards.

Edwards, a 6-foot—2, 208~
pound junior, was leading the
SEC in rushing with 325 yards
when he went down with the
injury in the season’s second game
against Tennessee. So far this
year, Edwards is third in the con-
ference with 526 yards gained on
the ground.

“He was one of the many
injuries that decimated the Geor-
gia team last year,” Curry said.
“But he's come back to play well
for them."

Last year’s quarterback at the
end of the season, Hines \Vard,
has been moved back to his ori i—
nal position at wide receiver anifis
flourishing. He has caught 32
passes already this year for a total
of 505 yards.

“We were the first team to see
Hines Ward at quarterback,"
Curry said. “He came in and did a
great job against us, and did a phe-
nomenal job down the stretch.

“He played so very well as a
quarterback,” Curry said. “And
now he’s a wide receiver and the
ball is in his hands several times a
game, and he is always a threat to
go all the way.”

Juan Daniels is having good
year at receiver, catching 20 passes
for 344 yards and three touch-

downs.

SEC schedule set
to resume for UK

By Jay 6. Tate
Staff Writer

They say every cloud has a silver lining.

It’s a philosophy that can be hard to keep in mind after a
loss, but the UK volleyball team was able to stay positive after
\Vednesday’s loss to U ofL.

“we just lost focus," UK assistant coach Tonya Johnson
said in diagnosing the Cats’ seemingly impossible loss to the
Cards. “We were playing at a very high level early on. Ifwe
can sustain that level of play, we can finish well in the SEC."

The loss to Louisville was particularly hard to take for the
Cats, considering the nature of the rivalry and the suddenness
of the UK collapse. Assistant coach Julie Ibieta believes her
team will regroup and not lose sight of the prize.

“We're disappointed with the loss, but it’s the SEC matches
are the ones we really have to win," Ibieta said. “(The team)
will bounce back—~they have it all in perspective.”

With that painful loss surely seared into the players’ minds,
UK looks to get things moving in a weekend series with
Southeastern Conference opponents Alabama and Auburn.

As the Cats re—enter the SEC schedule, they find them-
selves in need ofa quality win. After a shaky early season, UK
sprinted out to a 4-0 SEC record with some impressive perfor—
mances—namely a win at Georgia and a home ambush of
South Carolina.

But since the win over the Gamecocks, the Cats have gone
[—2 in SEC play. Tonight’s match-up against Alabama could
prove to be a catalyst for better play. The Tide own a lowly 3-
21 record, including an 0—7 SEC record.

The Tide is anchored by the sophomore outside hitter tan—
dem ofMonica Davis and Sarah Allmon. Davis is hitting .295
in SEC play and averaging a respectable 3.72 kills per game.
On the other side, Allmon hits .199 and contributes 3.32 kills
per game.

Although the Tide has enjoyed little success this season,
Ibieta cautions against labelling the Alabama match a freebie.

“It’s a match we should win,” Ibieta said. “But everybody’s
beating everybody right now—you can’t take anything for
granted in the SEC.”

On Sunday, the Cats take on an Auburn squad that has
compiled a 13—8 overall record with an SEC tally of 3-4. The
Tigers have been experiencing difficulty away from home this
season, going 1—3 in away matches this season.

Auburn will attack with seniors Allyson Beecroft and Rani
Whitson. Beecroft ranks third in the SEC in kills, averaging
4.47 kills per game. Whitson, the reigning SEC player-of—the-
week, is hitting .304, notching 3 kills and 1.08 blocks per

ame.

Ibieta believes a focused UK team can play as well as any-
one in the conference, including Auburn.

“We are capable of playing at a very high level,” Ibieta said.

“If we can stay focused and play well, we put ourselves in a
position to win out the rest ofour schedule."

Fans will likely notice the absence of coach Ralston-l’lory
on UK’s bench tonight. She gave birth to a baby girl yesterday
morning and will miss the team’s next few matches.

Ibieta said the head coach was having minor contractions
during Wednesday night’s match and went into labor shortly
after.

And so, in the early morning hours after the cloud of the
Louisville loss darkened Memorial Coliseum, a beam oflight
shone through.

Cool Cat captains
envigorate team

By Ryan Kramer

Last Tuesday the Cool Cats held a players-only
meeting. The topic? The heart of the season.
Team captain Ryan Ward, along with goalies Chris
Page and Justin Hosie, addressed the team on the
next eight games.

They wanted to congratulate the young team on
a perfect start (4-0), but warn that the past couple
teams they played were not as difficult as upcom-

This Friday and Saturday at midnight at the
Lexington Ice Center, the Cool Cats face their
toughest opponent yet in Bowling Green.

Thus far, the Cool Cats have been led by an
enormous amount of offense, but they need to
tighten up their overall play to take it to the next

“If we can win these next eight games, we’ll
probably be in the top five in the league," Hosie

The speakers touched on three main aspects that,
may have been overlooked during the early part of
the season. Although fans love to see aggressive
play, getting too many penalties is a big problem.

Once the team does go short—handed, they still
need to play tough and not just relax with the
excuse that they are killing the penalty. The third
point brought up was the overall play in the third

“We‘re past the buffer, and now, these games
are everything,” Page said. “We really need to win

The Cool Cats were able to slip by the average
teams with sloppy play, but they must tighten up if
they want to compete with the good teams.

“We are a good team, and we need to play like it
now,” Hosie said about this weekend’s games.

Corey Callahan will be looking to score his first
hat trick of the season against Bowling Green.
Callahan also leads the team in scoring with six
goals and seven points.

Three players have four goals in the first four
games: Ryan Hembree, team president Dave
Rioux, and newcomer Steve Osborne, who also has
three assists to tie him with Callahan and Bryan
Morgenthaler for the team lead in points. Mor en—
thaler has two goals, and five assists to go 3f
