Hobson namedA & S senator

By Elizabeth TroutmanTHE KENTUCKY KERNEL

The Student GovernmentCollege of Arts & SciencesSenate tie between RyanMabry and Monica Hobsonwas broken at last night’smeeting.

SG Senate members elect-ed Monica Hobson, a politicalscience junior, to the posi-tion. Both candidates weregiven the opportunity tospeak their platform beforethe group of about 30 sena-tors.

Hobson said that Mabry, amathematics sophomore, wastough competition. He is alsothe baseball beat writer forThe Kentucky Kernel.

“We were both qualifiedcandidates,” she said. “Ithink I speak for both of uswhen I say a resolution wasvery good to hear.”

Hobson said she thinksthe key to her victory wassupport from former SG sen-ators, including AllisonHensley.

Disqualified president-elect Will Nash attended themeeting to support Hobson.

“A lot of people I ran withhad been senators,” she said.“It is really important to havethe support system from peo-ple who have been senators.”

The two candidates tiedwith 247 votes each duringthe campus-wide election

March 30 and 31. Mabry saidmost of the SG members thatshowed up for the meetinglast night were supporters ofHobson.

“I think it is remarkablethat it ended in a tie,” hesaid.

“I did as well as I couldhave. I was pleased with theway the election turned out.It was a good experience.”

Mabry said he is not dis-couraged by the loss andplans to run for SG next year.

The race for LexingtonCommunity College’s Senateseats also ended in a six-waytie among write-in candi-dates.

Nash, who is also SG’scommunications director,said the tie was broken whenonly one of the six, PaulStringer, turned in a cam-paign expenditure reports.

Candidates who do notturn in reports are disquali-fied, he said.

No other information onStringer was available atpress time.

LCC has two Senate seats.The Senate president — whois usually chosen by the pres-ident after the spring semes-ter finishes — will nominatea candidate in the fall, andthe Senate will then confirmthe candidate.

Four plead guilty in Transy book thefts

By Dariush ShafaTHE KENTUCKY KERNEL

Three UK students and oneTransylvania University stu-dent pleaded guilty in federalcourt yesterday to charges re-lated to the theft of rare artitems and books from the Spe-cial Collections Library atTransylvania.

According to documentsfrom the U.S. District Attor-ney’s Office, UK students War-ren C. Lipka, Eric J. Borsukand Charles T. Allen II andTransylvania student SpencerW. Reinhard each enteredguilty pleas to all charges.

The four were arrested onFeb. 11 and charged with twocounts of robbery and conspir-acy to commit robbery, onecount of conspiracy, theft ofmajor artwork, inter-statetransportation of stolen prop-erty and possession of stolenproperty.

“I haven’t had any theft ofart cases before and our officehas handled very few,” saidDavid Marye, an assistant U.S.district attorney who prosecut-ed this case. “It’s been a veryinteresting case.”

Phone numbers for Bor-

suk, Allen and Spencer werenot available at press time.Calls to Lipka were not re-turned.

On Dec. 17, 2004, prosecu-tors said Lipka used a stun gunon a Transylvania librarian,and he and Borsuk bound thelibrarian and stole the rareitems — including somesketches made by naturalistJohn J. Audubon. Allen drovethe getaway vehicle and Rein-hard joined them when theytried to sell the items toChristies auction house inNew York City on Dec. 21, po-lice said.

The four men will be sen-tenced Sept. 9 and each couldface a maximum of 75 years inprison. Marye said they couldserve less time because oftheir decision to plead guiltyand notifying the U.S. DistrictAttorney’s Office before thescheduled trial date of May 16.

“We’re of course hopefulthat we can get them less timethan what the governmentwants,” said Adele Brown, Lip-ka’s attorney. “It’s really tooearly to say.”

Themes vary at spring dance concertBy Doug Scott

THE KENTUCKY KERNEL

A semester filled withlong hours and aching feetculminates this weekend withthe UK Dance Ensemble’sspring concerts.

The concerts, to be per-formed at the Singletary Cen-ter for the Arts, will feature 14pieces, all choreographed andperformed by the 31 membersof the ensemble.

“We have students in edu-cation, business, communica-tions, kinesiology and healthpromotion, and some in finearts,” said Rayma Beal, direc-tor of the dance ensemble.

Preparation for this week-end’s concerts began at theend of January with audi-tions and at least one re-

hearsal per week. In additionto rehearsals, members of theensemble are required to takethree hours of techniqueclass every week.

Members who choreo-graph routines spend the en-tire semester writing and re-fining choreography.

“It takes forever. There’san hour, sometimes longer, re-hearsal each week. Somechoreographers have themoves, but some people waituntil they can see what looksgood on their dancers,” saidAngie Galloway, an elemen-tary education junior. “Forme, it starts with the music. Ifthere’s a song I really like, Ijust start moving.”

Dancers often build theirroutine around a theme. Ash-ley Holbrook, an elementary

education senior and presi-dent of the ensemble, entitledher piece “Women: NothingBut Trouble.”

“It’s about how womentease and play, and how it getsboys and men in trouble,”Holbrook said. “I like some-thing that means somethingnot only to me, but to mydancers. I understand that themajority of the people in theaudience aren’t dancers. I liketo make dances that are enter-taining for the crowd but chal-lenging for the dancers.”

Secondary educationfreshman Sarah Spunt basedher piece, entitled “Testimo-ny,” around her faith.

“It’s my testimony of peo-ple and places that havehelped me develop my faith inbeing a Christian,” Spunt

said. “I wanted a dance thatmeant something to me andsome of the dancers that I’mfriends with.”

Galloway and Holbrookboth agreed that their favoriteaspect of being in the ensem-ble is performing.

“I love dancing onstage. Ilove to perform,” Holbrooksaid. “This semester is mylast semester; this year is a lit-tle bittersweet.”

Excited about his winning ticket in a race at Keeneland on April 10, UK football coach Rich Brooks couldn’t contain himself. UK holds its annualBlue-White scrimmage at 1 p.m. Saturday at Commonwealth Stadium. It’s Brooks’ third as the head coach of the Cats.

The odds have been stacked against Rich Brooks before. After two disappointing seasons as the UK football coach, he sees the light atthe end of the tunnel, now that the program’s three-year probation is over.

Sensing the win, the under-dog threw all of his might intoone punch.

A foolish mistake, he re-called.

Nearly 30 pounds lighterunder the trunks than his op-ponent, Rich Brooks foundhimself in serious trouble inthe middle of the boxing ring.

“I went wailing in on a guythat I thought I had tumbling,and he had a roundhouse andpopped me,” said the UK foot-ball coach.

“He caught me with oneand damn near knocked meout.”

The tough-nosed competi-tor got a little too greedy,Brooks remembered of hisperformance. But he recoveredto win the bout.

“I started swinging insteadof boxing,” Brooks said. “I fin-ished off the match by box-ing.”

Although that bout hap-pened ages ago — nearly 50years ago at Nevada UnionHigh School in Grass Valley,Calif. — the lessons learned in

boxing still stick with RichBrooks.

“It teaches you to be disci-plined,” said Brooks, 63. “Someof that has carried over.”

Soaking up the boxingknowledge of Ginger JackSnap, a former middleweightwho coached at Nevada Union,Brooks excelled.

In fact, he never lost.At Oregon State, he was

the school-wide champion, tak-ing on all challengers in the in-tramural ranks, dispersingthem with ease.

Brooks hardly boasts hisboxing accolades. When talk-ing about it, he just mutters afew short responses. He can letothers do the talking for him.

“He was a great boxer,”said his daughter KerriBrooks. “He wasn’t the biggestguy or strongest guy. He wasfeisty and scrappy.”

So, he was not just an OKfighter?

Actually, he was close tountouchable in between theropes.

“Bloodied? No,” Brooks

said. “But stunned and almostKO’d? Yeah.”

After playing football atOregon State, he stayed on as agraduate assistant coach. Sev-eral fraternities asked him toreferee some bouts. And a fewbrave souls wanted a piece ofRich Brooks the boxer.

As usual, he won.“Somebody challenged

him,” said Karen Brooks, hiswife. “And he can’t resist achallenge.”

Rebounding from the roughWhen Rich Brooks became

the UK football coach in Dec.2002, many called the job amonumental challenge.

Some called him crazy.He hadn’t coached a colle-

giate game since the 1994 sea-son, when he took Oregon tothe Rose Bowl.

He hadn’t coached at all intwo years, after stints in theNFL as the head coach of theSt. Louis Rams and defensivecoordinator of the Atlanta Fal-cons.

ment, which means they havemore leeway in their sentenc-ing. Because they pleadedguilty, the severity of theirsentences will be reduced twolevels on the suggested guide-lines, Marye said.

Marye also made an oralagreement to drop the severitya third level and because theyagreed to plead almost amonth before trial.

“I think this puts them in aposture to ask the court to beas lenient as possible,” Maryesaid.

However, because theguidelines are only suggested,Marye said he could not saywhat penalties the four couldface. The judge could still givethem more than the recom-mended sentence, and thejudge still has to consider theuse of violence in the case,Marye said.

“There’s just no way toknow,” Marye said.

Now the pleas are entered,and Brown reflected on whatwill happen to the four men.

“I think it’s tragic that fourintelligent men with promis-ing futures would find them-selves in this position,” Brownsaid. “It’s somewhat inexplica-ble.”

THE WASHINGTON POST

WASHINGTON — The Houseon Thursday approved a wide-ranging energy bill that wouldpermit new drilling in Alaska andgive producers billions of dollarsof incentives.

The 1,000-page bill was ap-proved by a vote of 249 to 183, af-ter a spirited debate over a provi-sion providing legal protections toa gasoline additive linked todrinking-water contamination.

Much of the legislation focus-es on conventional sources of en-ergy and provides relatively littlefor conservation and alternativeforms of energy.

The measure calls for openingAlaska’s Arctic National WildlifeRefuge to oil and gas develop-ment, and alters the Clean Air Actby giving localities whose pollut-ed air comes from distant statesmore time to meet national airquality standards.

It would grant funding for re-search into oil and natural gasdrilling in the deep waters of theGulf of Mexico, at a cost as highas $2 billion

At a time of surging energycosts, including gasoline priceswell above $2 a gallon, supporterssaid the legislation eventuallywould help bring down prices atthe pump.

Opponents said it would notmoderate consumer prices and in-stead would further inflate energycompanies’ soaring profits.

The House provided far moretax breaks to the oil and naturalgas industry and less to alterna-tive energy and efficiency thanPresident George W. Bush hadproposed.

Even so, the president believesthe overall bill is “largely consis-tent” with what he is seeking,White House spokesman Scott Mc-Clellan said.

The House-passed bill is simi-lar to legislation that was ap-

proved by a House-Senate confer-ence committee in 2003.

That measure died as the re-sult of a Senate filibuster.

Senate leaders this year aretrying to forge a bipartisan com-promise.

A Senate bill has not been in-troduced, but lawmakers saidthey expect to take up the mattersoon.

Among provisions added to theHouse bill this year are an exten-sion of Daylight Savings Time bytwo months and granting the fed-eral government ultimate authori-ty to determine where to locateliquefied natural gas terminalsthat receive imports by tanker.

The House defeated a provi-sion requiring increased automo-bile mileage and some other con-servation measures.

Democrats forced a confronta-tion over shielding the gasolineadditive methyl tertiary-butylether, or MTBE, from defective-product lawsuits, rekindling a dis-

pute that contributed to the un-raveling of the energy bill in 2003.

The additive, found to be leak-ing from underground storagetanks and contaminating ground-water in communities nationwide,has prompted a number of law-suits and cleanup bills that threat-en producers with billions of dol-lars in penalties.

Large oil companies and otherproducers of the additive havesought protection from Congress,saying the government had certi-fied the additive as appropriatefor use in meeting federal cleanair standards.

Republican leaders originallyrefused to allow the full House toconsider an amendment to stripthe provision from the bill.

But Rep. Lois Capps, D-Calif.,successfully forced a vote by cit-ing rules allowing floor amend-ments to strip out provisions thatwould impose “unfunded man-dates” on states and localities.

Capps cited a report from the

Congressional Budget Office thatthe MTBE provision would createsuch a mandate because it couldforce governments to pay forcleanup.

House Minority Leader NancyPelosi, D-Calif., said the provisionis a “disgraceful ... giveaway” thatwas included at the behest of oilcompanies and was championedby Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas.

“Not surprisingly, Tom DeLayand House Republicans are happyto oblige,” Pelosi said. She lateradded: “Republicans aren’t evengiving MTBE polluters a slap onthe wrist. They are giving them apat on the back.”

DeLay did not speak on thefloor, but other supporters of themeasure said MTBE deserves pro-tection because of the govern-ment’s mandate to reduce air pol-lution.

The effort to strip the provi-sion from the bill failed by a voteof 213 to 219.

Then in 2002, UK’s footballcoach, Guy Morris, left forBaylor. A long, secretive coach-ing search ensued. In the end,Brooks was hired to coach aKentucky football team in themiddle of probation.

“Why would he want tocoach?” asked Oregon headcoach Mike Bellotti, Brooks’ of-fensive coordinator from 1989-94. “He doesn’t have to coach.

“He wasn’t ready to givethat up.”

But why take the UK job?After all, the 2003 season wouldbe the second year of a three-year probation — in which theteam lost 19 scholarships — forrecruiting violations duringthe Hal Mumme era.

“He was ready for anotherchallenge,” Kerri Brooks said.

Said Bellotti: “That doesn’tscare him. The severity of thechallenge excites him.”

Taking this job was justlike starting over for Brooks.Like when he started at Ore-gon in 1977. The long dormantDucks hadn’t posted a winningrecord since 1970.

“To me, it’s a challenge Ienjoy,” Brooks said. “It’s morefun to make something good.”

Heading into Saturday’sBlue-White game at Common-wealth Stadium, Brooks’ thirdat UK, he is looking to reboundoff of last year’s dismal 2-9 sea-son.

It was a season in whichfans wore T-shirts. They want-ed to “ditch Rich.”

Questions surroundingBrooks’ job surfaced after hisNov. 1 news conference, inwhich he defended his embat-tled offensive coordinator, RonHudson. Fans from Pikeville toPaducah were wishing forHudson to either leave or befired.

Brooks said he had the fi-nal say-so on Hudson’s future.

“As far as I’m concerned,it’s up to me,” Brooks said onNov. 1. “If it isn’t, I guess some-body can replace me.”

When he made that com-ment, the Cats claimed theworst offense in the country —ranked 117th in total offense,averaging 259.2 yards pergame.

A few weeks later, Brooks’most ardent supporters —mainly Mitch Barnhart, UK’sathletic director — couldn’tgive him a vote of confidence.

“No, I do not regret thatstatement,” Brooks said beforethe start of spring practice. “Iunderstand fans’ frustrationswith a non-productive offense.The fans have a right to bitch.

“The fans are also notknowledgeable enough toknow what the real problemsare and how to fix them all thetime.”

Hudson resigned the weekof the season finale at Ten-nessee. All of a sudden,Brooks, who has three seasonsleft on his five-year contract,was coming back.

But what if Hudson hadn’tquit, would Brooks havecoached his last game?

“I don’t know that. I don’tknow that,” Brooks said. “Youcan play what ifs all you want.

“If there was reasonenough that they felt I shouldbe gone, then I should havebeen gone. But that’s not theway it came down.”

“He does not want to endhis career on a sour note,” Ker-ri Brooks said.

Since the end of the sea-

son, he has taken steps in or-der — he hopes — to makesure it doesn’t.

The changes surround hisprogram.

Joker Phillips replacedHudson as the offensive coordi-nator. Mike Archer’s defensemade the switch from a 3-4 de-fense to a 4-3. There are fournew coaches on the staff —quarterbacks coach Kurt Rop-er, offensive line coach JimmyHeggins, linebackers coachChuck Smith and defensiveline coach Rick Petri.

During practice, he’s thesame coach he’s always been.He stands back to let his assis-tants do their jobs.

But when there are prob-lems, like in Wednes-day’s practice whenthe offense stumbledaround, Brookstakes control.

“I see him bitingat the chomps some-times,” said seniorreceiver TommyCook.

On this occasion,“he got right in thehuddle and correct-ed it,” Cook said.

After the talk, itwas as if nothinghad happened.

“He had the unique abilityto fire up, blow up and moveon,” Bellotti said.

With an unimpressive 6-17record in his two seasons atUK, some would think he maybe ready to enjoy fishing inOregon. Enough with coach-ing.

But Brooks hasn’t lost thatcompetitive energy.

“I have even more,” hesaid.

That’s why he desperatelywants to turn UK around.

“Nobody is more unhappyabout the last two years morethan me,” Brooks said.

“This is my last job.“I want it to be successful. I

want it to be better than whenI got here.”

Getting over the humpSpinning like a helicopter,

Jared Lorenzen, UK’s larger-than-life quarterback, heaved apass somewhere in the direc-tion of a blue and white uni-form. Keenan Burton, then afreshman receiver, wasthought to be the intended tar-get.

Florida’s Johnny Lamarswooped in for the grab andswept the lead and game rightaway from the Cats in 2003.

Last year against SouthCarolina, the Cats had twochances to seal the win byholding on to would-be inter-ceptions. They didn’t, and theylost.

“Those are the plays thatdefine whether we win theclose games or we lose them,”Brooks said.

Right now, Brooks needs acouple of those plays to buildsome momentum as he tries torebuild the program out fromprobation, he said.

“One win isn’t going to doit,” Brooks said. “But you needto break through somewhere.We have lost quite a few gamesthat we could have won.”

At Oregon, Brooks said,one win washed the cellar-dweller tag off the Ducks. InBrooks’ third year at the helm,in 1979 — after back-to-back 2-9seasons — some scrawny de-fensive back stepped up late inthe game against California.

The kid who made the playwas a redshirt freshman by thename of Steve Brown. Brooks

went over to Brown,who now coachesUK’s defensivebacks, and told himto enter the game asa nickel back.

Within a fewminutes, Brown in-tercepted a pass andreturned it about 15yards to clinch thewin. The Duckswent on to finish 6-5,posting their firstwinning record innine seasons.

“I was just playing foot-ball,” Brown said. “And I hap-pened to make a play. I didn’trealize then if there was anysignificance.”

“That was the start of thebreakthrough,” Brooks said.

Twenty-six years later, af-ter playing and coaching in theNFL, that kind of vision is abig part of the reason whyBrown is at UK.

“Here I was, a 155-poundweakling out of high school; Ihad played seven games, andhe told me, ‘If you do as I say,you can play pro football,’”Brown said.

“I didn’t know, so I didwhat he said. I had blind faithand trust. It worked out forme.”

The ‘purse lady’The better half can be just

as tough.Don’t let the fact that

Karen Brooks is a caretaker ofa neighbor’s horses or how sheloves finishing antiques in thefamily’s Jessamine Countyhouse fool you. She takes afterher husband. Just as competi-tive.

The two first met when hewas coaching one of Karen’spowder-puff football games.

“I didn’t want to go outwith him at first because hewas quite the ladies man,”Karen recalled.

If that wasn’t enough, hewas dating one of Karen’ssorority sisters at the time. Butthat didn’t stop Rich Brooks.

“He kept asking me out,”Karen said. And eventually,they dated, got married, settleddown.

You know, the usual.Just don’t say obnoxious

things toward her. After all,there’s a reason people earnnicknames like the “purselady.”

During her husband’stenure at Oregon, she took ex-ception to one fan’s personaltaunts.

“I hit somebody with apurse at a game before,” shesaid.

That was only an isolatedincident, but the name stuckwith her.

Still, it’s a family traditionto defend Daddy.

When Kerri Brooks was 14,she got fed up with one drunk-en Oregon fan yelling at her,

telling her that her fathersucked.

“He was mocking me,”Kerri said inflecting her voice.“So I socked him in the face.”

Good thing her father wasa good boxer.

“My dad taught me all ofmy moves,” Kerri, now 38,joked.

The Brooks women can bea vindictive bunch, Karen said.

“Women in our family arebad about that,” she said.

‘Losing is unacceptable’You’d think Rich Brooks

would lighten up in family ath-letic events, but he’s every bitas competitive.

Once or twice a year, whenthe four children and fourgrandchildren gather on vaca-tion, Brooks holds the familyOlympics.

The UK coach sets up featsof strength for his family.There’s rafting, kayaking andminiature golf.

“We compete againsteverybody,” Kerri Brooks said.“Even the grandkids.”

These family gatheringshave the makings of a soon-to-be released Chevy Chasemovie. One vacation sticks outvividly for Kerri Brooks.

Leading in a raft race,Karen sabotaged her daugh-ter’s chance for victory.

“My mom is trying todrown me,” said Kerri Brooks,a camera operator for CBS.“She flipped it over becauseshe knew she was going tolose.”

Her father is just as fiercein putt-putt golf.

“He hates to lose, no matterwhat the game is,” KerriBrooks said. “Losing is unac-ceptable.”

A fact Brooks’ friends andfellow coaches know all toowell.

Victory was easy as sink-ing a four-foot putt.

Early in his tenure as Ore-gon’s offensive coordinator,Mike Bellotti stood just a fewfeet away from the cup — witha win over Rich Brooks loom-ing. And Bellotti blew it.

“I didn’t miss it on pur-pose,” Bellotti promised.

The coach was disgustedand disappointed, but he was-n’t the one who missed it.

“He was probably moremad than I was,” Bellotti saidof his former boss.

Brooks didn’t want to winthat way.

“He loves competition,”Bellotti said. “He wants compe-tition.”

On the golf course, nobodyon UK’s coaching staff standsa chance against the defensivebacks coach, Brooks said. So,Brown beats Brooks with ease?

“Like a drum,” Brown saidwith an air of confidence. “Hedoesn’t invite me that much.”

Competing off the fieldwith his fellow coaches is a sta-ple of his personality. It doesn’tmatter the nature of the event.Sewing could probably becomean intense activity withBrooks.

“When you talk about RichBrooks, that’s the one thingyou know if you ever play himin tennis, golf or basketball orwhatever the case may be, youbetter bring it,” Bellotti said.“You better come ready toplay.”

He hasn’t changed a bit.“You have to compete

against him,” Brown said.“And you have to bury him be-cause he’s going to fight you.”

Web sites can aid in choosing professors — for a priceBy Kyle Slagley

THE KENTUCKY KERNEL

Thanks to Web sites likewww.pickaprof.com andwww.ratemyprofessors.com,students can research poten-tial professors before takingtheir class.

The sites offer reviewsand rating systems on eachprofessor posted by studentsthat have taken their classes— tools that can be of aidduring registration times.

“I like the fact that thesites not only rate the profes-

sors but they offer commentsabout how hard the tests andpapers are,” said music per-formance and arts adminis-tration freshman Nick Cov-ault. “You can learn the pro-fessors’ assignment and classhabits.”

Though the Web sites of-fer postings from many stu-dents, there could also be aninherent bias to some re-views.

“It seemed like a lot ofpeople that get onto the sitesdidn’t like the professors, sothey got on there just to com-

plain,” Covault said. “I gotthe impression that if peopledo like the professors they’reless likely to use the sites.”

Pick-A-Prof also offers abreakdown of the grades forthe class.

“(Pick-A-Prof) breaksdown the number of gradesthat each professor gives outfor each semester,” said mu-sic education sophomoreNick Burczyk. “It lists howmany A’s were given, howmany B’s were given and soon, in addition to the com-ments on how people liked

the class.”Pick-A-Prof recently

maintained frequent usersare subject to a membershipfee. The site charges $5 persemester of use, but then re-turns the fee to the user inthe form of an ecampus.comgift certificate.

“I don’t see any reasonwhy you should need to payto use it,” Burczyk said.“You’re getting informationthat’s public domain; infor-mation that can be foundelsewhere. It’s just making itharder for the user.”

Burczyk said he expectsthe site to lose a lot of usersbecause of the fee.

“Most college studentshave jobs but are alreadystruggling to pay rent andother expenses. They’re try-ing to profit off of a groupthat’s already making no

money.“I’d definitely be more

willing to use ratemyprofes-sors.com instead. It’s allabout finding what’s cheapand what’s free,” he said.

EETTCCEETTEERRAA | tthhee ppoooorree pphhiilloossoopphhyy

That terrier’s an alias! It’s an alien hyped on espressoIn my apartment build-

ing, there are a few rulesand regulations: no pets, noo u t d o o rgrills and nosober activi-ty. So, every-one has agrill and adog — ex-cept me.

Now Ilove mostdogs in gen-eral, but Ihave troublefilling myown cerealbowl withfood, much less taking careof a pet.

So I don’t really care ifthere are dogs in my build-ing.

Unfortunately, there aremany dog owners in mybuilding who don’t owndogs they own aliens. Theseare the small, aggravating,mutant dogs that must be aresult of breeding real dogswith high-strung, obnox-ious weasels, which are giv-en strong doses of Star-bucks mochas.

I would also suggestCongress look deep into apossible steroid-dachshundconspiracy. These little dogshave super dog strength ofsome sort, allowing them toconstantly run around —barking.

Small dogs bark at ab-solutely everything, for anyreason, 24 hours a day. It’svery similar in scope as thebehavior of cats, which

sleep 23-and-a-half hoursout of the day.

Big dogs are happy dogs.They usually go about theirbusiness being big dogs.They’ll protect you, barkingat anyone that they perceiveto be a threat to their own-ers or a threat to their Beg-gin’ Strips. They’ll also hopin your lap and lick you forno real reason at all. Thenthey’ll hop into anyoneelse’s lap, stranger or not,and lick them.

Big dogs are happy whenthey’re fed and walked. Lit-tle dogs are happy onlywhen their native alien racereturns to earth and de-stroys every rawhide facto-ry on the planet — becauseapparently only this ridicu-lous, made-up scenario will

shut them up because ithasn’t actually happened.

There are definite ad-vantages to having largedogs over small, irritating,squeak-toy-like dogs. Smalldogs have only one job:barking at everything in-cluding their water bowl.And when they’re finishedbarking, they begin barkingat their owners because itdawns on them barking isboring and they need newideas.

They also chew oneverything, which I guessthey assume to be food, andthen bark at whatever itwas they were chewing onupon the realization that itwasn’t food at all.

Have you ever noticedthese small dogs always re-

semble their owners?I have a grandmother

who I’m convinced takesher dog with her to a hairsalon that simultaneouslyperms both her and herdog’s hair.

My grandmother alsolooks strikingly like aPekingese.

Anyway back to thebarking because, well, theyhaven’t stopped. Dogs likethis not only bark nonstop,but usually the barking isso high-pitched only otherdogs can hear it — and theystart barking. Otherwise, itresembles fingernailsscraping across a chalk-board over top of 16blenders and a screamingbaby.

And they follow you

around too, almost like anagging girlfriend, pickingat your feet and squawking.

Why would anyone wantsuch a pet? I mean, I couldjust as easily throw a crazedmonkey into my apartmentwith (my respects to PETA)its tail set on fire and wouldget basically the same effect— everything chewed upand loud, insane howlingthat doesn’t cease.

So I’m basically endors-ing large dogs. I think onlythese should be included inthe “Man’s Best Friend”category. Those other mu-tant creatures wouldn’tknow a friend if theybarked at it.

All the daytime drama,any time of day or night

By Maria Elena FernandezLOS ANGELES TIMES

LOS ANGELES —Among the many thingsABC’s “Desperate House-wives” has proved is this:Women in the ‘90s did notstop watching daytime dra-mas because they wantedto. They simply couldn’t.Work beckoned some out ofthe house; others werecalled to a different type ofduty by their multi-taskingoffspring who requiredtransportation to and fromplay dates, school and soc-cer practice.

That’s a truth aboutwomen’s lives that DeborahBlackwell, the formerWilliam Morris televisionagent who is now seniorvice president and generalmanager of SoapNet — the24-hour basic cable networkdevoted to soap operas — re-alized four years ago, whenshe began to mastermindthe channel’s “new way towatch soaps” philosophy.

The plan was to givewomen back their soap op-eras by airing them atnight.

SoapNet’s program-ming now includes currentdaytime soaps and old soaps(“Ryan’s Hope”), along withprime-time classics (“Dy-nasty” and “Melrose Place”)and original series thatcater to the soap-opera fa-natic.

Already a mid-size net-work, the channel’s distrib-ution reached 40 millionhouseholds on March 31,when DirecTV moved it toits most popular program-ming tier. SoapNet nowranks sixth in prime timein the 18- to 49-year-old fe-

male demographic amongall basic cable networks,with a total average audi-ence of 14 million.

Blackwell and her exec-utive team of die-hard soapfans have done all of thiswhile wearing wigs to work,conducting business intheir pajamas and gigglingtheir way through eachworkday.

Those days of powerlunches in Beverly Hillslong gone, Blackwell pushedpast the already laid-backoffice culture of cable tele-vision, looking toward themore experimental andfree-flowing environment ofMTV to motivate her staffof 35 to “live the brand” andimmerse themselves in thewhimsical nature of soapsas they went about market-ing and promoting thechannel, acquiring existingprogramming and develop-ing original series.

“This is a channel thatis devoted in every singleway to the soap-opera fan:what they want to watch,what they want to hearabout and the kinds of real-ity shows they would wantto see on television,” saidAnne Sweeney, president ofDisney-ABC TelevisionGroup, who oversees thechannel’s operations. Black-well’s team, Sweeney said,“really knows and under-stands the genre, and Debo-rah is very daring. So, as aresult, they have a whole lotof fun.”

Blackwell was the firstto buy a wig for an im-promptu office celebrationof “great soap hair.”

When “Pajama Day” fellon the morning she was tolead consumer product ses-

sions about the network’snew brand, Blackwell threwon a hooded sweatshirt overher “Go to Bed With Soap-Net” camisole and marchedon.

But as wacky as theSoapNet executives can be,they dressed up the eleva-tors in their Burbank build-ing to look like showers fora “Dallas” bash (a tribute tothe show’s “dream” season),they view their frivolity asserious business.

Blackwell, who wants tobuild an empire similar tosibling network ESPN, saidher goal is to reach full dis-tribution — about 85 mil-lion homes — and then ex-pand to a second channelwhere she could air the day-time dramas she has noroom for in the currentschedule.

Of the nine soaps airedduring the day, SoapNet airsfour at night: “All My Chil-dren,” “One Life to Live,”“General Hospital” and“Days of Our Lives.”

“ESPN owns sports oncable, and we want to ownthe category of soaps on ca-ble, satellite and online,”she said. “ … Most soapfans want to know moreabout the stars, the way theshows are created, and theywant to go behind thescenes. They want a deeper,richer fan experience.”

The challenge lies indistinguishing SoapNet in acable universe of hundredsof channels, and from day-time programming on thebroadcast networks.

“We wanted to be theones to make people feelthat it’s cool to watch soapsagain,” Blackwell said.

THE WASHINGTON POST

WASHINGTON — The FBI and oth-er law enforcement agencies are lookinginto incidents in which people mas-querading as unannounced inspectorswere found poking around three hospi-tals in Boston, Detroit and Los Angeles.

In each case the impostors werestopped by security guards or hospitalstaff and then either left or were ex-pelled. No one has been arrested, andneither the identity of the intruders northeir motives are known.

“There is no working hypothesis. Itcould be any number of things, fromidentity theft to something more nefari-ous,” an FBI spokesman, who declinedto be named, yesterday.

The Department of Homeland Secu-rity is also “aware of these suspiciousreports,” said Brian Roehrkasse, a de-partment spokesman. He added theagency does not have “any intelligenceinformation that indicates al-Qaida is

planning an attack or targeting hospi-tals.”

Virtually all American hospitals aresubject to unannounced inspections bysurveyors from the Joint Commissionon Accreditation of Healthcare Organi-zations. The surveyors can ask to seehospital records, gain admittance tonon-public areas and watch peoplework. In all three incidents, the impos-tors implied or stated outright theywere the organization’s surveyors.

In the past the organization has oc-casionally gotten reports of people false-ly claiming to be its inspectors. Usually,though, they were seeking favored treat-ment, such as moving ahead of othersin the emergency room or getting copiesof a patient’s medical chart. That wasnot the case in the recent incidents,which occurred from late Februarythrough mid-March.

“We decided that this represented apattern of behavior that we had not seenbefore, and our anxiety level went up,”said Joe Cappiello, the organization’s

vice president for accreditation/field op-erations.

In the first, a well-dressed white manand woman were stopped by a securityguard at a Los Angeles hospital about 2a.m. They showed badges similar tothose issued by the organization andasked to be let in. When the guard askedfor more identification, they retreated,saying they were at the wrong hospital.

The second incident occurred threedays later at a hospital in Boston. Awell-dressed man described as being 35to 40 and of South Asian or Middle East-ern descent was stopped about 3 a.m.

About a week later, a woman wasfound in the maternity ward of a De-troit hospital.

A fourth incident, which occurred indaylight hours on March 27 at a hospitalin Sussex County, N.J., was deemed un-related to the others. In that one, threemen told a security guard they weredoctors and asked for a hospital directo-ry and information about bed capacityand services.

11 die in Iraq helicopter attackBy Solomon Moore

LOS ANGELES TIMES

BAGHDAD, Iraq — A private heli-copter carrying civilians was shot downover central Iraq yesterday, killing sixAmerican security guards and five oth-ers, according to a U.S. official.

No one aboard the Mi-8 helicoptersurvived the crash, according to thecompany that managed the charteredaircraft. The helicopter was 12 milesnorth of Baghdad on its way to a U.S.military base in Tikrit when it wasstruck by ground fire.

In a separate attack near Ramadi, anAmerican security guard was killedwhen a bomb exploded near his armoredvehicle.

All seven of the dead Americanswere employees of Blackwater USA, aNorth Carolina security firm. The com-pany has now lost at least 16 employeesin Iraq since the U.S.-led invasion twoyears ago, more than any other securitycontractor, according to U.S. Labor De-partment statistics.

“This is a very sad day for the Black-water family,” company President GaryJackson said in a statement. “We lostseven of our friends to attacks by terror-ists in Iraq, and our thoughts andprayers go out to their family members.”

The five other men — three Bulgari-ans and two Fijians — who died in the

helicopter incident, worked for Toronto-based SkyLink Air and Logistical Sup-port and its Bulgarian subcontractor inIraq, Heli-Air Services. Skylink has acontract with the Defense Department toferry personnel around Iraq.

Militants frequently fire shoulder-launched missiles or rocket-propelledgrenades at aircraft in and around Bagh-dad as well as in northern and westernIraq. A British C-130 military cargoplane went down north of Baghdad inJanuary, killing 15 people, although theRoyal Air Force has not determined thecause of the crash.

The past week has brought deadly re-minders of the toll the insurgency hastaken on private American contractors.At least four other Western civilianswere killed in recent days, all along theroad between Baghdad’s secured GreenZone and the international airport.

On Tuesday, insurgent snipers am-bushed a British security firm’s convoynear the airport, killing three securityguards, one of them an American.

And on Saturday, a car bomb hit an-other private convoy on the airport road,killing a Western security guard andMarla Ruzicka, an activist from north-ern California who was working to gainrestitution for Iraqi war victims.

By last year, an estimated 50,000 pri-vate security personnel were working in

Iraq for Western companies. Private se-curity details have guarded major Iraqigovernment figures and U.S. officials, aswell as corporate employees involved inreconstruction efforts here. Many of thesecurity guards are former members ofthe U.S. armed forces and other nationalmilitary organizations and can earnmore than $100,000 a year with “dangerpay” bonuses.

Contractors have become increasing-ly targeted by insurgents in an effort tohalt the reconstruction effort.

Since March 2003, at least 284 con-tractors have been killed in Iraq, accord-ing to statistics kept by the Labor De-partment. The figure includes Ameri-cans as well as contractors from othercountries.

The six Blackwater employees killedin Thursday’s attack on the helicopterrepresent the second-deadliest incidentfor U.S. contractors in Iraq since the warbegan. Last April, six truck driversworking for Halliburton were killed, anda seventh is missing and presumed dead.

Among the dozens of security firmsin Iraq, Blackwater is considered one ofthe most elite, with many of its employ-ees former members of U.S. specialforces. It has taken on some of the mostdangerous missions.

No other details were available re-garding the deaths.

Study: revamp transplant systemBy David Kohn

THE BALTIMORE SUN

A larger, more efficient system formatching kidney donors with recipientswould save hundreds of lives and hun-dreds of millions of dollars every year,according to a new study by researchersat the Johns Hopkins Hospital and theMassachusetts Institute of Technology.

Their paper, published this week inthe Journal of the American Medical As-sociation, looked at paired donation, arelatively new transplant method thathas grown more popular in recent years.

Here’s how it works: For a kidneytransplant to be successful, the donorand recipient must be medically compat-ible. Some patients have willing donorswhose tissues aren’t compatible withtheir own. The exchange system findsanother pair of incompatible donors.The donor in the first pair gives a kidneyto the recipient in the second pair, andvice versa.

Over the past decade, there have beenmore than 50 paired donations in theUnited States, 22 of them at the JohnsHopkins Hospital, which has become aleader in the procedure.

Many transplant specialists have ar-gued that increased use of paired dona-tion could help a significant percentageof the 61,000 patients waiting for a kid-ney transplant. Although several region-al networks are being set up to match

pairs, there is no national system.Last year, Dr. Dorry Segev, a Johns

Hopkins Hospital transplant surgeon,and his wife, Sommer Gentry, a mathe-matics graduate student at MIT, decidedto analyze the effect of a national paireddonor program.

The couple came up with the systemfor matching donor-recipient pairs. Us-ing simulated pools of donors and recipi-ents, they found that a national systemusing their matching method would pro-duce thousands of matches, and woulddo so more efficiently than current meth-ods.

They say their approach wouldmatch almost 48 percent of the pairs, anotable improvement over the systemused by several paired donor programsaround the country.

“We suspect there are thousands ofpatients who can benefit from this,”Segev says. Although the paper didn’t ad-dress the question directly, Segev esti-mated that the system could save severalhundred lives annually.

Every year, about 6 percent of thoseon the waiting list for a kidney die beforeone can be found.

Segev and Gentry calculate that if4,000 people joined the matched pairingnetwork, and about half received kid-neys, the program would save $750 mil-lion a year — primarily from decreaseduse of dialysis, an expensive medicalprocedure that purifies the blood of pa-

tients with kidney failure.Segev and Gentry say that to work

best, the system must be national inscope and make matches carefully. “Onestrategically wrong match can result inmany lost opportunities for other pa-tients,” Segev says.

Choosing multiple paired matches isa complex process. Transplant special-ists must take into account not only im-mune system compatibility — which isdetermined by about 100 different kindsof immune cells — but also blood typeand the age of the donors.

For example, people with Type Oblood can only receive kidneys from oth-er Type O’s. But those with Type A bloodcan receive kidneys from A’s and O’s. Thesame holds true for Type B. To maximizethe number of matches, Type A andType B donors should be matched with Aand B recipients, leaving O donors for Orecipients.

Kidney transplant specialists likedthe proposal, but said it left out key vari-ables.

“It’s a great idea, but it’s not perfect,”said Dr. Michael Rees, a transplant sur-geon at the Medical College of Ohio inToledo. “This paper is all kind of an edu-cated guess. It’s not a fact paper.”

Rees is part of the Ohio Solid OrganTransplant Consortium, a group of ninetransplant centers in the Midwest thatare working to increase paired dona-tions.

“ It could be any number of things, from identity theftto something more nefarious.”

PPAAGGEE 66

Assistant opinions editor BenRoberts sat down with the Col-lege of Arts and Sciences DeanSteven Hoch to discuss issues re-lated to the college, the state ofthe liberal arts program at UKand UK’s drive for top-20 status.

Q. How have recent budgetcuts affected the College of Artsand Sciences?

A. Well they’ve affected thecollege very severely. One, we’ve losta number of good faculty in a num-ber of departments. This universityis about manpower and if we losegood faculty we’re in deep trouble.We’ve tried as best we can to replacethem by equally good faculty and insome cases we’ve been successful,but it’s hard.

Salary raises, although this yearwe’re looking at good salary raises of4 percent, over the last three yearswe’ve had raises that have averagedabout 1.3 percent. So in that area,we’ve fallen farther and farther be-hind and that has an impact on fac-ulty morale.

Q. Do you find it harder toentice more faculty to come to UKwith these budget cuts going on?

A. If we don’t have competi-tive salaries it becomes difficult. Butwe’ve done a number of things to tryand make UK more attractive, withbetter parental leave policies for fac-ulty, better sabbatical policy for fac-ulty. President Todd has a long-termplan to increase faculty salaries.This is very costly and difficult todo, but I know it’s a firm commit-ment of his and something we needvery desperately here at UK.

So I think we’re headed in theright direction, but I think we’rehelped because we’re not disadvan-taged because so many other stateuniversities are in a similar situa-tion. Where we’ve become somewhatless competitive is with private uni-versities.

So we’ve lost faculty to Duke or toVanderbilt or to other large privateinstitutions. It’s becoming increas-ingly difficult for state institutionsto compete with private institutions.

Q. How do you compete withthese private institutions that are

so renowned for their liberal artsprograms?

A. Well UK is still a very at-tractive place to work. We havestrong graduate programs, whichare attractive to many faculty.

The very top students at UK areas good as any student at Harvard orDuke or Vanderbilt or Yale. So it stillmakes undergraduate teaching apleasure.

Where we’re deficient in somecases I think is with our facilities.We’re working hard in our salariesand we’ve had to sacrifice a little bitin terms of class size. But being afaculty member at a major researchuniversity is still a great job in life.It’s a lot of fun. I think anybody thatgoes into the academic world decidesit’s about having fun, it’s about pas-sion and it’s about doing somethingthat you really like.

So to that degree everybody hasalready made that psychological ad-justment or personal decision thatthis the route they want to go.

Q. In what ways do youthink the College of Arts and Sci-ences can help the state of Ken-tucky, the community outside ofUK?

A. That’s very easy. One ofthe things to realize is that we grad-uate 800 to 900 students per year.

We know, on average, that everyUK student who gets a job will earnbetween $900,000 and $1 millionmore in their career than someonewho hasn’t received an undergradu-ate education.

So, if we’re putting out 900 stu-dents per year, and over they’re life-time they’re each going to earn $1million more, that’s putting $900 mil-lion more into the economy of thestate over the lifetime of these peo-ple. And remember, we ‘re doing thisevery year. So for those that stay inthe state, this is a huge boost.

And one of the things peopleneed to remember is that Arts andSciences covers physics to philoso-phy. We have 35,000 or 36,000 alums ofthe college. With the exception ofthose who are retired, or those thatdon’t want to have a job, everybodywho wants to have a job has a job.And they have a good job. And that isa major benefit to the Common-

wealth of Kentucky.More than any other aspect of

economic development this universi-ty can do is to pump out highly edu-cated people.

If you look at indicators like percapita income per state, it’s veryhighly correlated to the number ofpeople who have a four-year collegeeducation.

Q. What steps has the Col-lege of Arts and Sciences taken to-ward UK’s drive to top-20 status?

A. One of the things is try-ing to hire the very best faculty andretain the very best faculty, strength-ening the quality of graduates andundergraduates coming to UKthrough things like the Honors Pro-gram, the Freshmen Discovery Semi-nar Program, the activities of theGaines Center and through increas-ingly encouraging faculty to applyfor federal grants or grants from pri-vate funding agencies, which allowsus to bring the very best graduatestudents here.

And trying to create a work envi-ronment that takes full advantage ofLexington and takes full advantageof those policies the university canhave to make UK a very congenialwork environment.

Q. What are your personalfeelings on the drive to top-20 sta-tus?

A. I think it has great sym-bolic value. Trying to make clear tothe people of this state that we havea great research institution here andwe need to make it greater.

To make it greater is somethingthat will be of huge economic andsocial benefit to the state. Ken-tucky’s a state with a number ofwell-known problems.

To the degree that we have strongresearch program here, to the degreethat we put out well-educated stu-dents every year is the best solutionlong term to supporting these socialand economic problems of the state.

We need to have an institutionthat is competitive with the Big Ten,that is competitive with UNC, that iscompetitive with Virginia. We cansee what that’s done for those states,and we need to have a flagship insti-tution in the Commonwealth of Ken-tucky just like those states.

There’s no reason why UK shouldbe behind.

IN OUR OPINION

Campus facilitiesmust be accessible

Students in one UK classbrought much-needed atten-tion this week to an often-forgotten aspect of campuslife.

For the 12th year in a row,students in Interior Design234 sat in wheelchairs, hob-bled on crutches andwalked around blindfoldedto demonstrate just howa c c e s s i bl ecampus isfor thosewith disabil-ities.

With somuch con-s t r u c t i o nu n d e r w a yon campus,it’s impor-tant foradministrators to remem-ber that disabled students,faculty and staff deserveadequate access.

The students found onlyone restroom in the WhiteHall Classroom Buildingaccessible to those with dis-abilities. They also foundelevator doors to be heavyand difficult to open andentrances to be too narrowfor wheelchair entry.

Those conditions will beunacceptable for the newerbuildings.

According to U.S. News& World Report’s 2005 sur-vey of the nation’s best col-leges and universities, UK’s

campus is 95 percent acces-sible to those with disabili-ties. Percentages for all ofUK’s benchmarks were notavailable, but only sixschools — Florida, Iowa,Michigan, UCLA, Virginiaand Washington — rankedat a higher percentage orreceived a “fully accessible”rating.

T h r e eothers —G e o r g i a ,Purdue andTexas A&M— receiveda “mostlyaccessible”rating.

I t ’ se n c o u r a g -ing that

UK’s campus has a climatefriendly to those with dis-abilities.

It’s also nice to see otherstudents help remind us ofwhat we normally wouldn’tconsider.

As interior designsophomore Morriah Amplonoted during her examina-tion of buildings’ accessi-bility: “It definitelyincreased my sensitivity toother’s needs when it comesto designing … When youput it under a microscope,you see the little things.”

That’s something wecould all stand to do a littlemore often.

More can be done to make UK ‘s campusaccessible to disabled

students and staff.

University hearingright end to SG mess

There seems to be noend to StudentGovernment’s nonsense.

After Will Nash andMichelle Bishop defeatedBecky Ellingsworth andKyle Burns by 171 votesMarch 30 and 31,Ellingsworth’s campaigncried foul.

Upon examination,Nash andBishop hadspent morethan the$600 permit-ted by theSG constitu-tion. Theywere alsofound tohave wrong-ly used anSG tax exemption in pur-chasing campaign materi-als.

The SG Supreme Courtflew in the face of precedentand ruled these violationsamounted to an SG felonyand upheld their disqualifi-cation in a 4-2 vote.

As if that wasn’tenough, SG Supreme CourtChief Justice Tony Stoeppelswore in Ellingsworth aspresident in meetingMonday that was, if notsecretive, certainly not pub-licized.

He did so after theElections Board of Claimscertified the election forEllingsworth via e-mail.

But it looks like univer-sity administrators are will-ing to step in.

Believe us, we champi-

on student independenceand responsibility as muchas anyone, but as stewardsof student fees and with aseat on the Board ofTrustees at stake, UK offi-cials are right to interveneto make sure the more than1,300 students who voted forNash do not have theirrights trampled.

T h eUniversityA p p e a l sBoard, com-posed ofthree stu-dents andsix facultym e m b e r s ,will hold ah e a r i n gnext week

and will have the finalauthority on overturningthe court’s ruling, TheKernel reported Wednesday.

“I am very proud of theway the process works,”said Joseph Fink, chair ofthe board and a professor inthe College of Pharmacy.“Students are well-servedby the process.”

Dean of Students VictorHazard sent a memo to SG,the Supreme Court justices,Nash, Bishop, Ellingsworthand Burns informing themthe university does not viewEllingsworth’s presidencyas valid.

We urge the appealsboard to reinstate Nash’svictory. They are the lastline of defense to overcomeSG’s immaturity, incompe-tence and recklessness.

University officials were correct to step in ondebate over the outcome

of SG presidency.

capped for a wet track due topredicted rain.

T o pchoices fort o d a y ’ sraces atKeeneland:

Race 11. 2

Gold StreetBlues (7-5):This horsecomes outof muchb e t t e rraces atGulfstream

where he has been competi-tive. This and getting a nicesprint jockey in Rafael Bejara-no should be his keys to victo-ry.

2. 5 Sandys Gold (7-2) 3. 1 Makers at Midnight

(4-1)Race 2

1. 2 Adieu (9-5): In a fieldof unraced 2-year-olds, thishorse benefits from the ToddPletcher/John Velazquezcombo and comes in off a bul-let work on April 16.

2. 8 Lady Flo (3-1) 3. 1 Scat (10-1)

Race 31. 4 Cat Tracker (7-5): In

what should be a muddytrack, this horse has two winsfrom four starts on the offtrack. He has the most consis-tent and best speed of thefield as well as leading riderVelazquez.

2. 6 Hunting Hillbilly (9-2) 3. 2 El Prado Rob (3-1)

Race 41. 2 Sweet Melody (3-1):

This horse takes a large dropin class and adds blinkers forthe first time. Since he re-unites with Javier Castellano,who rode him in his bestraces, I can forgive his horri-ble start here on April 9.

2. 6 Summer Cielo (2-1) 3. 8 Mariah’s Cat (10-1)

Race 51. 2 Kristen Kristen (5-1):

If this filly can get the earlylead as she has shown she cando on the dirt, she may beable to win this wire to wireas there is not a lot of speed.The return to dirt also allowsme to forgive her poor effortlast time out.

2. 1 Peppermint Lilly (5-1) 3. 3 Hot Attraction (6-5)

Race 61. 9 Preach By Day (9-2): If

there is a wet track, this horsehas pedigree on both sides tohandle the off surface. Heshowed a liking for Keenelandlast race in a nice secondplace effort.

2. 8 King of Jazz (3-1) 3. 6 Chislehurst (6-1)

Race 71. 2 Elusive Jazz (5-2): This

horse comes off a nice secondplace at the same conditionhere earlier this month, de-spite going six wide. He keepsBrian Hernandez aboard andlooks to get over the humpthis time.

2. 6 Elijah’s Song (3-1) 3. 4 Sandbagger Jones (10-

1)Race 8

1. 6 Essence (7-5): Thishorse drops out of a Grade 2and last won at a Grade 3, sothere is a big class advantage.In his only race at Keeneland,he won at this level on a mud-dy track by eight lengths, solook for a repeat.

2. 3 Plaid (5-1) 3. 5 Valliant Dancer (3-1)

Race 91. 3 Hirapour (3-1): This

2.5-mile steeplechase race is ahighlight of the spring meet.This horse has never finishedworse than second in his last10 starts including a win inthis race last year, so look forhim to repeat.

2. 6 McDynamo (9-5) 3. 4. 5 Sur La Tete (4-1)

Race 101. 5 Manchito (7-2): This

horse has hit the board in hislast two starts at a higherclass. The drop in class alongwith some good speed figuresshould allow this horse tobreak his maiden.

2. 6 Chatta Band (3-1) 3. 7 Teeithiandletitfly (5-1)

Some already living NFL lifeBy Sam FarmerLOS ANGELES TIMES

NEW YORK — Braylon Ed-wards is No. 1 all over the place— on his jersey, in the hearts ofMichigan fans, and in hismind — but not necessarily inthe NFL draft.

Although he is widely re-garded as the most athleticprospect in this weekend’sdraft class, the former Wolver-ine receiver is not likely to bethe first player selected. SanFrancisco, with the top pick, isleaning toward Utah quarter-back Alex Smith.

Miami, which drafts sec-ond, needs a running backmore than a receiver, althoughthe Dolphins could use both,and this class features at leastthree outstanding tailbacks. Itis unlikely, though, that Ed-wards will slip past the thirdspot, where the choice belongsto Cleveland.

Dropping a few slots cancost a top player a million dol-lars or more but Edwards does-n’t seem concerned about slip-ping too far, if at all. He’s confi-dent of what he can do, confi-dent that he has more to offerthan former USC receiverMike Williams, who sat out offootball last season yet is seen

by many scouts as a tremen-dous prospect.

“I don’t think there’s anyreason I can’t go into the NFLand dominate,” Edwards toldreporters this week. “I’m notthat stressed about going oneor seven — wherever I land iswhere I land.”

Already, he’s living the lifeof an NFL star. He has the six-carat diamond earrings, a$140,000 Bentley ContinentalGT coupe, and the 2004 Bilet-nikoff Award as the nation’sbest college pass catcher. Heheads a strong draft class of re-ceivers that includes Williams,who at 6 feet 5 is two inchestaller but fractionally slower;South Carolina’s TroyWilliamson, and other likelyfirst-rounders Mark Clayton ofOklahoma and Roddy White ofAlabama Birmingham.

But Edwards, a player Ari-zona Cardinal Coach DennisGreen described as “fantastic,”appears to be the gem of thegroup in the eyes of manyNFL talent evaluators.

“He’s a classy kid, he’s amature kid,” said Floyd Reese,general manager of the Ten-nessee Titans. “I think, at leastthe little bit that we know ofhim, that he’s a competitivekid. I think football is impor-

tant to him. I think that beingthe best is important to him.When you have talented kidsthat have all of those intangi-bles, then you probably have apretty good chance of having asuccessful pro player.”

Then again, maybe not. Ed-wards is the latest in a longline of ballyhooed Michiganreceivers who’ve churned outmixed results in the pros.Among the Wolverines whocame before him were Antho-ny Carter, Desmond Howard,Amani Toomer, DerrickAlexander and David Terrell— an up-and-down collectionof pros.

“I have met a couple ofthose guys,” Edwards said. “Alot of them had prolific collegecareers. They’ve done OK inthe NFL. The main thing, theysaid, is stay humble and learnthe game.”
