Vitale shares time with students

Commentator signs,

miles wit/7 UK group

By Jolt Vinson

Cdmpm Edliol‘

College basketball’s No. l broadcaster and
PTP‘er (Prime—Time Performer) Dick Vitale
brought his enthusiasm and high energy to campus
yesterday to autograph copies of his new book, Hold-
ing Court: Reflections on the Game I Love.

More than 400 students crowded the UK Book-
store — some to get his autograph and some to catch
a glimpse of the famed color commentator for
ESPN and ABC.

For two strai ht hours beginning a little before
noon, students firmed a long line stretching from
the bookstore’s entrance to Vitale's table in front of
the information desk in the middle of the store.

“Dickie V. Baby, he loves Kentucky,” said Sean
Shelvin, a mechanical engineering sophomore, while
waiting in line, the $22.95 book in hand. “He’s col—
lege basketball, I gotta come see him."

Shelvin said the enthusiasm he brings to the game
makes him a fan favorite.

“He‘s a good sportscaster. I really enjoy him," he
said.

Another student waiting to get the selflprofessed
basketball junkie’sjohn llancock took full advantage
ofopportunity.

Ashley \Vitters, an undeclared freshman from
Nashville, Tenn” bought two books, one for her
family and the other for a friend.

“I told my parents he was coming, (and) they are
fans and they want to read his book anyway," “it—
ters said, “so I thought I would surprise them and
get his autograph

"l lc's got a personality like no other commenta-
tor, and I think that's part of the draw."

And draw he, did. UK Bookstore Manager Paul
Little enjoyed the fan fare and added media expo-
sure that accompanied Vitale.

“\‘l'e’ve had a tremendous crowd here to see him
today," Little said. “Even the ones that aren’t buying
anything came by just to see him. It‘s great.”

Little said Vitale’s appearance brought excite-
ment to the store and was good for sales.

book, said “'illiam Bowen, a bookstore employee.

“He’s a really nice guy," Little added. “He's had
his picture taken with lots of people here today and
he’ll write anything they want him to write on
(books, basketballs, etc.).”

As an added bonus, Vitale addressed the crowd of

mostly students for nearly 30 minutes. But his mes—
sage wasn't filled with “Awesome Babyls)" or discus-
sion about which teams will make it to thc liinal

Being a married man and father oftw'o daughters,

Math sessions adding up

Alzheimer's
may develop
during youth

By Kathy Reding
Staff H’riter

Research released yesterday
from the UK Sanders—Brown
Center on Aging indicates that
Alzheimer's disease may be a life-
long disease process.

The study, called the Nun
Study because all of its subjects
were nuns, found that low linguis—
tic ability early in life was strongly
related to the development of
Alzheimer’s later in life, said Dr.
David Snowdon, director of the
study.

Participants in the Nun Study
were chosen due to the extensive
archives of their congregation.
Researchers used handwritten
autobiographies done 58 years ago
by each nun when she entered the
convent to determine their indi-
vidual linguistic abilities. The
nuns also were subjected to annual
physical and mental exams, and
they agreed to brain donation fol-
lowing their deaths.

Twenty—five of the sisters died,
and neuropathologic evaluations
were performed on their brains.
Of those autopsied and found with

Alzheimer’s brain lesions, 90 per—
cent of them exhibited low lin-
guistic ability early in life.

“We are not sure why linguistic
ability in early life had such a
strong relationship to Alzheimer’s
disease,” Snowdon said. “One
possibility is that low linguistic
ability in early life may be an early
expression of the Alzheimer’s dis-
ease process.”

Snowdon said that the research
supports the conclusion that no
single cause exists for Alzheimer’s,
but that it is likely caused by a
chain of events.

“(The relationship) is simply
marking something. We need to
figure out what it’s marking, what
biological and genetic process,
Snowdon said.

“\Vhether you get Alzheimer’s,
or heart disease or cancer, is a mix
of environment, lifestyle genes,
diet."

Snowdon said geneticiSt should
also begin looking at genes related
to Alzheimer’s and whether those
are related to linguistic ability.

One of the problems with hav-
ing this connection demonstrated
through the research is that no
concrete solutions exist to solidify
what people can do to reduce the
risks of Alzheimer’s. No idea
exists of what its risks are, Snow-
don said.

“There’s no evidence of any-
thing people can do to prevent
Alzheimer’s or to slow it down,"

Tired of stressing out right before
each dreaded calculus test? Do all the
numbers just blend together into a mind-
less conglomeration of digits?

If you are in Math 1 13 and suffer from
this, your ailment can be cured.

“Mathemedics” is the name of the
review session for students enrolled in
NIA 1 13. The review sessions are a couple
of nights before each exam.

The next review session will be held
on March 3 and 4 on the second floor of
the White Hall Classroom Building and
will be held from 7—9 p.m. Students can
sign up in 735 Patterson Office Tower.
Space is limited to the first 40 students
that sign up.

The cost is $10 per person. Mathe-
matics graduate student Darren Narayan
said if a students demonstrate financial
need in obtaining the funds to attend the
session they should talk to their teaching
assistants.

The proceeds go to the UK Chil—
dren’s Hospital, which is affiliated with
the Children’s Miracle Network. The
sessions have raised $850.

“We wanted to make sure that all the
money stayed here in Lexington so that
the money does not go off to California
or somewhere else," Narayan said.

The sessions are run by graduate stu-
dents who have previously taught the
course, and are familiar with the material

tested.

No current teaching assistant of MA
113 is able to participate in the review
session due to conflict of interest, because
the teacher would be charging their own
student.

The program was started last
semester, when the teaching assistants
had been approached by the students for
tutoring and review sessions.

As a result Narayan began his own
review sessions and he noticed that stu—
dents from other MA ll i sections were
attending.

“Then we decided why don't we have
a review session that is open to every-
body, so that if your T.A. doesn‘t have a
review session you’re eligible to get in,"
he said.

In the future they hope to expand the
sessions to MA 10‘). Because ofthe uni—
form tests given in A'IA 10‘), they would
be able to have a review session.

What about those in MA 123?

“It would be nice to expand to MA
123, but the problem is that the tests are
made up by the individual instructors,"
Narayan said. “The only way to do a
review for 123 is to get all the students
froin the same class together."

The T.A.s will stay until all of the
questions are answered.

“VVe’re in it because we like to teach
. If they are not completely satisfied at
the end we will refund their money," said
Narayan. “So far we've never had a stu—
dent ask for their money back."

NATION Buchanan heats
Dole in New Hampshire

.\l.-\N(Illl:.S'lil"R, N.ll. Conservative rebel
Pat Buchanan won a narrow victory yesterday in
New llaiiipsliirc‘s leadoff presidential primary,
knocking Bob Dole from his yearlong perch as
Republican frontei'unner.

The results threw the (iUP race into turmoil
with a 3(l~state burst of primaries just ahead.

“This is a victory for the good men and women
ofMiddle America," Buchanan said in celebration.
Alexander declared that Dole was out of ideas and
effectively out of the race, althou rh Dole \\ as not
about to quit and for his part he ca led it a two—man
race between he and Buchanan.

“Now I know why they call this the (iranite
State," said Dole. “Because it's so hard to crack."

Buchanan's dramatic victory came in the state
where he launched his 1993 primary challenge to
(ieorgc Bush. lt followed a win in Louisiana cau-
cuses two weeks a f0 and a strong second-place
showing behind Doie in Iowa last week.

For Dole, it was another depressing New
Hampshire night. His 1088 presidential campaign
got off to a winning start in Iowa but was detailed
here. He vowed it would not happen again, proiniv
ing to get back on the winning track next week in
North and South Dakota, and Arizona.

\VASlllNG’I‘UN 7 In the heart of a buildingr
where blacks used to be banned, Kweisi Mfume
vowed yesterday to help the NAACP “reclaim its
voice" for justice as he was sworn in as the organi-
zation's president and chiefexecutive.

Acknowledging that the NAACP has reached a
crucial point in its 87-year history, the former
Maryland congressman said now also is a time in
the life ofthe nation when it needs the NAACP.

Racism, sexism and anti—Semitism abound,
Mfume said. But he said child and drug abuse and
limited access to capital are new scourges threaten—
ing equal opportunity for minorities. particularly
blacks.

“lt is in the interest of all people that we succeed
in creating hope. new opportunity, new dignity. a
new horizon, a new chance for each and every

Sharks, snakes, lizards and an
alligator.

No, it’s not the zoo.

It's Bio-nite at UK.

As part of Arts and Sciences
Week, the Morgan Biological Sci-
ences Building was filled last night
with UK faculty displaying their
knowledge, and visitors of all ages
eager to learn.

Stations were set up around the
perimeter of the second floor,
each teaching an interesting,
unique theme of biology.

While munching on chips and
cookies, students of Woodford
County High School traveled

 

from one room to another, stop-
ping on the way at tables set up in
the halls.

“I thought it would be a good
experience for them to see what
goes on here and to visit the Uni-
versity,” said Marti Fee, the physi—
cal science teacher that brought
the freshmen and sophomores to
Bio-nite. “So far they seem to be
very interested.”

Each stop had its own professor
or teaching assistant who helped
students understand the biological
Concept they were presenting.

Jim Krupa, an animal behavior—
ist and vertebrate zoologist, had a
melan e of skulls arranged on the
table. e explained that by simply
looking at the teeth in an animals‘

skull, students can tell what they
ate and where they were in the
food chain.

A little further down the hall
was a room containing every dis-
ease you never wanted.

“VVho’s had strep throat?” Jim
Moore, a microbiologist, asked a
group of high school students.

“This is it," he said, holding up
a round plastic box.

On the lab tables, many more
undesirable bacteria sat in their
own little boxes.

Anyone traveling in this room
could see what gives people uri-
nary tract infections, diarrhea and
food poisoning.

Jeanne ()akcs, biolo 'cal sci-
ences secretary, had a (ii-[splay to

“Sharks don't have hands - all
they have are teeth," she said. “I
guess when it comes down to it,
it’s a case ofnatural security. They
feel threatened."

A handout on sharks said there
are only about 100 shark attacks
per year, and only 30 percent of
those are fatal.

Angela Story, a sophomore at
VVoodford County High, said the
shark display looked interesting,
“but they took the sharks away
before I could see them.”

Although most of the booths
were run by biological department
faculty, one of them had 2 l2-
year~old boy explaining the quali-
ties he found endearing in his pet
iguana, who was also available for
questions.

College students who smoke
marijuana heavily may have trou-
ble paying attention and per-
forming simple tasks, even a day
after going without the drug,a
new study shows.

Smoking at least two out of
every three days constitutes
heavy usage, researchers say.

Researchers compared ()5 col—
lege students who smoked at
least 22 days a month with 64
similar college students who only
smoked nine days a month at
most.

A day after going without the
drug, the heavy marijuana users
performed significantly worse on
tasks that involved sustaining and
shifting attention.

Between the two groups stud-
ied, the ability to remember
things newly learned did not dif-
fer significantly, the researchers
reported in a recent issue of The
journal of the American Alediral
Association.

Dr. Carl Leukefeld, the direc—
tor of the UK ( enter for Drug
and Alcohol Abuse at the UK
( enter on Drug 1nd Alcohol
Research, said he thought the
doctors who performed the study
should have compared the heavy
marijuana users and the light
marijuana users with a control
group of college students who
were non-users.

“(The study) doesn’t really
show the extent to which it
would be affected because of a
lack of a control group," Leuk—
field said.

Leukefeld also said he thought
it was important to study the

hype—filled. And when he spoke,
people listened.

“What excites me is the fact
that you have shown interest in
wanting to buy some of the things
that I’ve put out,” Vitale said.

As is commonplace for Vitale
wherever he goes, he shared his
philosophy about living right.

“You gotta have a assion and a
love for what you 0,” he said.
“When you have a love and a feel-
ing and excitement everyday for
what you’re doing, you’re onna
enjoy life and it s gonna maie life
interesting to live.”

He used the UK basketball
team’s work ethic to make his next
point. Vitale said he had never
met anyone who was a success
“without perspiring and bustin’

their gut to make it happen.”

Finally he challenged students
to avoid the path to destruction,
namely alcohol and drugs.

“I’ve made in decisions in my
life and I’ve 111a e mistakes in my
life,” Vitale said. “But I have never
made a mistake when it came to
drugs, alcohol or that scene.”

He said unfortunately on the
campuses around the nation stu-
dents are leaving with two
degrees, one in their course of
study and one in alcoholism.

Vitale “begged them as a
father, as someone who loves
young people” to think and make
good decisions.

Before closing to thunderous
applause, he conveyed advice
given to him by long-time friend
Jim Valvano, former coach of the
1983 National Champion North
Carolina State who died from can-
cer about three years ago.

“Enjoy your life, enjoy it to the
fullest. Make good decisions in
life. Don’t allow ‘can’t’ to be part
of your vocabulary. (And) don’t let
your peers take you to the valley."

System was started more than a
year ago by the University of
Southern California and North
Carolina State University in coop-
eration with IBM.

The University officially si ed
the agreement Feb. 9 after sonlin ng
some 16 al issues that had held up
the dcalg, said Mark Brenner, for-
mer vice president for Research.

The University will need to pay
another $100,000 installment to
remain in the group, he said.

On top of that, the University
also needs to purchase a computer
with software that acts as a server
for the program. A server allows
people to access a system. In total,
the cost of implementi the sy s-
tem would be around 400,000,
Brenner said.

The system will be. completed
in three phases, the first of which
is already being tested at other
member schools. Phase one of the
system allows people to set up
budget proposals for grants and
fill out proposal information usin
the forms of the agency that wifi
sponsor the grant.

The system will he linked to
other University databases, allow-
ing easy access to information.

llli dominates Title 84-65, Wins SE1:

By Jason Daltllo
Sports Editor

Mark Pope-RoyuRogers. Any-

th wrong with t '5 picture?
’ung 5 Pope is definitely gravity—
challenged and has a knack for
etting rejected by more athletic
Ibw—post players. Ro ers, on the
other hand, leads the outheastem
Conference in shot blocking and
can swat opponents’ shots into the

third row at Rupp Arena

Last night Pope won the battle
and the Cats won the war, 84—65
before a more-rowdy-than-usual

Rupp Arena crowd of 24,175.
Pope, who had 13 points and
eight rebounds, delivered the blow
that caused Ro ers’ surrender by
dunking in thea ace of the Alabama
center. Rogers still managed to
block nine shots, but the Cats’
continuous pounding in the paint

proved decisive.

“Mark Pope 5 play is pushing
this team, ”UK coach Rick Pitino
said. “We’ve got to find more
minutes for him.”

“I’m not in a zone, "Pope said.

“I was just a beneficiary of what
the other fellas did.”
Des ite scorin just five points
in the first 6: 40 o the second half,
the Cats built a 51-25 lead on an
Antoine Walker putback at the
15: 19 mark.

Over the next seven minutes,
Alabama unleashed a reign of ter—
ror from behind the three- -point
arc. Guard Anton Reese, who led
the Tide with a career— high 19
points, drained four treys while
Eric Washington and Marco
Whitfield each added a bomb.

When the threes stopped flying
and an anxious Rupp crowd
caught its breath, the Crimson
Tide had cut UK’ 5 lead to 14, at
67- 53 with 6:03 left in the game.

Walter McCarty and Anthony
Epps responded to the Bama run
with consecutive old- fashioned
three point plays to thwart any
chance of an upset

In .Monday’ 5 news conference,
Pitino stressed the importance of
containing Alabama’s three-point
game. What the UK coach wit-
nessed during the second half
probably caused him to see red
errrrr Crimson? Maybe not.

“Defending the three- -pointer is
critical and we did a good job for
the most part, ”Pitino said. “They
just made some outstanding
shots.”

The Cats (23—1,13-0 Southeast—
ern Conference) won for the 22nd
consecutive time while the Crim—

 

 

son Tide, a team implanted on the
NCAA bubble, fell to 14— 9 7— 6.
UK’s 22- -game winning streak
is the third best in school history.
The 1951— 52 and the 1965- 66
Cats won 23 in a row.
“This was one of our better

conference ames, said Pitino,
whose squachrapped up the the
SEC regular- season crown. “This
is the most focused we’ve been at
home all season.”

Alabama played the C ats close
for about eight minutes last night
leading by as many as four early
on

But when Derek Anderson
nailed a 15- footer at 13: 58 the
Cats took the lead for good at l 1-
10. Anderson led UK with 1.5
points.

After gaining the lead, the
Wildcats used a pair of devastating
runs to sink the Tide.

The first, a 17-4 spurt, was
highlighted by an unlikely alle\-
oop by Pope, who took a cross-

court ass from McCarty and
jamme two handed.

“’Ive never seen Pope get up
that high,” Ep s said. “I think his
elbows were a ove the rim. He’s
letting his hair grow. I think that
has something to do with it.

Alabama would cut the lead to
12 at 32— 20 on Rogers’ free throw
at the 3: 14 mark, but the UK
closed the door with a 12 —0 run to
finish the half.

The (. ats were aided by a tech-
nical foul on ’Bama s bench Epps
sank both free throws and Pope
hit a follow in the lane turning the
possession into a four- point trip
and giving the ( ats a 41- 20 lead

Anderson hit three free throws
over the final 45 seconds of the
first half to account for UK’s 44~
20 lead at intermission.

“\Ve didn't shoot the ball well
in the first half,” Alabama coach
David Hobbs said. “(If course a
lot of that had to do with their
defense."
