Next student election to be online BY DAMEL BHUCE News writer

In the 1999 elections. Student Association President Chris Pace was elected with a smaller per- centage of the student body vote than this year's homecoming queen. According to elections chair Thomas Hall, the Student Association is taking steps to rem- edy that problem.

Beginning next semester. Eastern students will be able to vote for Student Association offices on-line.

"We're going to e-mail every-

one two or three weeks ahead of time and the student would send it back to us. Their e-mail address would vouch for their identity." Hall said.

The elections would run in two phases. The on-line ballots act as absentee ballots. Once mailed, there would be a deadline for stu- dents to reply to the vote by. The deadline would be a few days before the actual voting booths would be wheeled out.

Hall says that the e-mail ballots will make voting accessible and convenient for all students.

"We're trying to get the num-

ber of voters up," Hall said. "A lot of people don't vote because of the intimidation factors of the vot- ing booths."

"I think its important to get the students involved in student gov- ernment. To let them know who is running, and help them get involved ... I think we are less involved here than other universi- ties," Hall said, "I guess it's because it's a commuter college, a lot of students don't know what's going on here."

Students that reply to the e- mail ballots would have their names taken from a master list of

eligible students and wouldn't be able to vote at the booths.

Hall said he would meet with representatives of academic com- puting next week to get things ready to go.

Undeclared freshman Joseph Jams from Louisville thinks on- line voting is a good idea.

"Its more accessible for me, I' check my e-mail everyday. Every student should vote because we shouldn't just get stuck with someone we don't think is suit- able."

Unlike Jarvis. many students don't vote.

"I think we ■•••involved here than other universities.

Thomas Hall, student association

Election chair n Junior nursing major Tracy

Feltner of Hazard thinks that many students are too busy to vote. "I didn't vote last year," she said.

Feltner thinks that the ability to vote on-line will greatly increase voter turnout.

"I'm very busy, but I know everybody has time to check their e-mail.," Feltner said

Not every student thinks vot- ing on-line is going to make things better. Junior public rela- tions major Justin Combs of Independence thinks increased accessibility won't change much.

"It will help voter turn-oul, but it won't affect anything because it will be random vot- ing ... if people don't want to vote they're not going to know."

Re-organization enters next phase BY SHAWN HOPKINS News editor

Every year people come to Eastern to learn to fly — the only place in Kentucky where they can.

They can't learn in a depart- ment of aviation because Eastern doesn't have one, a situation that may change if the programs cur- rent faculty has its way.

This is one of the proposed program changes that is being looked at by Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost Michael Marsden during Phase II of Eastern's academic reorga- nization. Open forums are being held all month on this issue, the first one was Tuesday.

Eastern has offered a bachelor's in aviation since 1983, and has been offering aviation as a program since 1991 — the only one of its type in the state. The program has 128 students, but only two faculty.

Wilma Walker, chair of the department of geography and planning and coordinator of the

aviation program, said aviation had great growth potential and becoming a department was what their program needed to accom- plish that.

"We would have a greater credibility if we had departmental status," Walker said.

The proposal asks that a facul- ty member be added and desig- nated chair, with one of their pri- mary responsibilities being pro- gram growth. Walker said this is handled by the faculty but that it was difficult with so few people.

The aviation proposal came last at Tuesday's meeting, which was an open forum format for dis- cussion. Tables were set up in the faculty lounge of the Keen Johnson building.

The two-hour plus meeting was divided into sections. Faculty turnout for the departments at issue was high, but only one stu- dent showed up and only stayed for part of the meeting. The first dealt with merging the depart- ment of mass communication with

" We're not really sure what it is we're here to accomplish today.

Karen Rudick, associate professor

of speech and theatre arts » the department of speech commu- nication, changing the name to the department of communication, and moving it to the college of business and technology. The sec- tion also dealt with establishing a department of theatre.

Maureen Everett, chair of the mass communications depart- ment, said that speech and mass communications made a good fit.

They (speech) became much less a rhetoric approach and much

more a social and behavioral sci- ence approach," Everett said.

"We're all communications in one way or another," Everett said.

There was some disagreement about locating the whole thing in the college of business and technol- ogy. Mass communications and speech faculty took a total of three votes on the issue. The first was to accept the speech faculty and after this vote there was a vote on renam- ing the department and another on whether the new department of communication should stay there or move. The vote was 11 to 6 to stay in business, according to Everett. None of the dissenting faculty mem- bers were present at the forum.

Karen Rudick. associate profes- sor of speech and theatre arts, ques- tioned the nature of the meetings.

"We're not really sure what it is we're here to accomplish today," she said. Rudick said that it wasn't clear if the decision had

The Council on Postsecondary Education declined to put the $20 million required to build Eastern's Student Activity Center in their budget recommendation at their meeting Monday.

"There's no specific building projects for Eastern that were rec- ommended," said George Graves, public relations for the CPE.

"It's, not as though Eastern is being picked on," Graves said.

"This is the smallest number of projects that the council has rec- ommended in many years," Graves said.

The council only recom- mended three building projects, which included research labs for the University of Louisville and the University of Kentucky and to begin a Kentucky Community and Technical College System College in northern Kentucky.

Vice President for

Administrative Affairs and Finance Doug Whitlock said the decision wasn't the end of the matter.

"At this point it isn't in the pro- posal, but we're still hopeful." Whitlock said.

The money for the activity cen- ter can still be recommended by the governor or in the Kentucky General Assembly. Any funds will have to be approved by the assem- bly. Eastern has already asked the assembly and the governor, said James Clark, vice president for goverment affairs and planning.

The decision doesn't mean Eastern won't get any money. Eastern was already eligible to get $2.5 million of $10 million statewide for endowed professor- ships if it can match that $2.5 mil- lion with its own funds. This CPE meeting added another $10 mil- lion for the same purpose.

"If Eastern hustles, it could claim a good portion of that," Graves said.

The meeting was also the forum for the presentation and approval of Eastern's Action Agenda, in which Eastern pro- posed to improve the quality and standards of education at Eastern and increase admissions and enrollment.

The last Milestone University pulls plug on yearbook BY JAWE VINSON Assistant news editor

Eastern's officials have decided that 1999 will be the last year of the student yearbook, the Milestone.

"It's something we've been looking into for some time now," said Ron Harrell, director of public- relations and marketing and advi- sor to the publication for 10 years.

A recommendation was made last year by Harrell to eliminate the yearbook. He said he discussed this option with supervisors, advis- ers and students on campus.

"We've been looking at the viabili- ty of the yearbook for a couple of years." said Harrell. "In the early "90's our publication was cut to 7,000, with less than 3.000 being picked up."

President Robert Kustra made

the decision to cut the yearbook. "It was part of a budget propos-

al made by the president that went through the Board of Regents last April." said vice pres- ident of government relations and planning James Clark.

The budget for the "99 milestone was $37,722. The money from the book's budget this year was distributed to the retention program. Clark said.

Student protest to the elimina- tion of the Milestone is causing controversy. Student Senate had no say in this issue

"We weren't aware that this was an issue." said student body vice president Rodney Tolliver. "We learned about the elimination of the Milestone two meetings

Story by Jessica Wells

Martin helped Eastern become a university

Archive

President Robert Martin was instrumental in raising money for new buildings on campus.

Imagine Eastern without an Alumni Coliseum. Brockton Apartments, or Martin Hall. Pretend "Law

Enforcement Complex" were words never spoken at Eastern.

To do all this, most people would have to imagine a certain president never existed.

"He really understood the system of success for building a great institution," said Robert Babbage. a former Democratic Party Chairperson who had known Martin since he was a child.

Between 1960-1976, Eastern Kentucky State College, as it was then called, was under the presidency of Dr. Robert R. Martin. An Eastern graduate. Martin was the first to serve his alma mater as president.

He was born Dec. 27, 1910 to Henry Franklin and Anne Francis Martin in Uncoln County. Martin said by the third or fourth grade he knew he was going to college Martin was elected president of his senior class

—T

and voted"Most likely to Succeed." When WWII broke out in 1941,

Martin joined the armed forces. He achieved the rank of technical sergeant as a weather forecaster.

In his lifetime. Martin served as principal of two schools: Woodleigh Junior High School and Lee County High School.

Martin took Eastern and rearranged it from a teacher's college to Kentucky's leading creator of allied health and nursing professionals. Eastern also became known for its criminal justice system under Martin's presidency. It reached university sta- tus July 1, 1966.

Right from the start. Martin worked to expand Eastern. Soon after he began. Alumni Coliseum, Martin Hall and Brockton went up. The late Joe Creason, a Louisville Courier- Journal columnist, commented on the building of Eastern in spring of 1961 by .saying, "Someone ought to put up

a sign. 'Eastern Kentucky State College...Under Construction."

Martin kept the promises that he made to Eastern. At his first faculty meeting in 1960, he declared Eastern would enroll 6.000 students by 1970. The next year, he said Eastern would achieve university status.

In 1965, Eastern enrolled 6.949 stu- dents, up from 5.433 the year before.

The next February. Martin received a call which informed him Gov. Edward T "Ned" Breathitt want- ed him in his office the next day. Papers would be signed which would make Eastern a university.

Enrollment rose, faculty increased, and the physical plant went up in value from $7 million to $120 million.

"He had every quality you would want in a great leader and incredible determination." Babbage said. "He could really see the future."

Perspective A2 Thursday. Nonmber 11,1999 The Eastern Progress Don Knight, rditor

Wanted: Students who give a damn Open forum tonight is good way for students to voice opinions You don't have to travel far

across campus to hear stu- dents complaining about

something. But give most of them the opportunity to do something about it and you will be hard pressed to find many students willing to lift a finger.

Last weeks Residence Hall Association vote on the 21/60 housing policy, a policy that would allow students under 21 but with over 60 hours credit to live off campus, is a perfect example.

The RHA organized and publi- cized a vote on the policy so they could gauge student reaction before deciding whether to pass the policy and send it on to the Board of Regents.

Ask just about any student what they think about being allowed to live off campus and your sure to get plenty of opinion, including quite a bit of dislike for the cur- rent policy which only allows stu- dents over 21 to live off camus, with the exception of students liv-

ing with their parents within 50 miles of campus.

But given the opportunity to vote on the new policy and only 8 percent of residents voted. Seventy-three percent voted in favor of passing the measure, but with such a low voter turnout if s impossible to consider that a majority.

If the 21/60 policy is passed it could cause a rise in housing costs on campus. You are guaran- teed to hear plenty of complaints

about any increase in the cost of housing if the policy is passed. Similar to the tuition increases passed earlier this year.

For the first time the Council on Postsecondary Education gave Eastern and other public institutions of higher education in the state the opportunity to set their own tuition. But when Eastern announced a 7.5 percent tuition increase for each of the next two years some students cried foul. But during two open forums to discuss tuition increas- es only a handful of Eastern's

over 15,000 students bothered to show up.

Eastern students love to complain but when if s time to take action most of them prefer to do nothing.

Another opportunity for students to voice their concerns is coming up during a Student Association forum 5 p.m. today in the Grise room of die Combs Building.

Eastern students, if you expect r yone to care about your con- cerns then maybe you should sta caring yourself and take the first step to show up at this forum.

► Campus Comments

THE ISSUE Student Association unanimously approved an act last week that would return all excess funds in Colonel Card accounts to the person who deposited the money instead of the university, which is how the money is handled now. on the Edge editor Paul Fletcher asked students who they thought the money should be returned to.

That's a good idea. Students should get the money back if they don't use it all.

Hometown! Richmond Major Accounting Year: Senior

Sounds like a good idea. If they put the money on the card, they should get it back.

Hometown Dayton, Ohio Major Physical education Year: Junior

I think die students should get their money back.

Hometown: Newport Major: Fire Science Year: Junior

WHITNEY GRAHAM

The money belongs to the students whose accounts it is in, not the university.

Give it back Unused Colonel Card funds should go to students, not to Eastern

iHytt^tW hit 5*y'i*s in &u&*r/C$

Allison Craio/Progress

We ought to get it back instead of giving it back to the school. They get enough money.

Hometown: Somerset Major: Health Communications Year: Sophomore

Is it fair for the university to claim unused funds?

SO, WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Should the school return excess funds to

the Colonel Card owner?

To voice your opinions, drop us a

line at 117 Donovan Annex Annex or via e-

mailat <progress@acs.eku.edu>

What's mine is mine and what's yours is mine too. That's the message the university is

sending students with their current policy for cash balances left in a Colonel Card accounts.

Now, money left in an account for more than one year is taken by the university and deposited into the gen- eral fund.

And students aren't told about this policy when they signed up for the ser- vice.

This is an unfair practice that takes advantage of students and their par- ents who trust the university.

Many times parents put money into Colonel Card accounts for their chil- dren so they can eat conveniently on campus, but that doesn't always hap- pen. Instead of frequenting campus restaurants or the food court, many new students take advantage of the fast food restaurants surrounding cam- pus.

So parents who think they are tak- ing care of their children may unwill- ingly be making a huge donation to Eastern.

The university is taking money that does not belong to it, which is steal- ing. This school was established to offer opportunity to the people of this region, not to take their money.

The money belongs to the students whose accounts it is in, not the univer- sity. There needs to be a way to refund the excess funds to its proper owner.

Student Senate took the first step toward this long overdue change last week when it unanimously approved an act which would stop the university from claiming the unused funds and would inform students in more detail of their rights regarding their cards.

Now other students need to make sure their voices are heard as well. They need to write letters to the Colonel Card Office saying the prac- tice is unfair and needs to be changed. Students also need to go to the Student Association forum at 5 p.m. today in the Grise Room of the Powell Building.

If students don't stand up for them- selves and say they don't want their money taken unfairly anymore, the university will continue to do just that

Depot's escape plan is not safe enough

CHRESMTffl Your turn

Chris Smith is a senior environmental health science major from Ashland and president of the student environmental club.

Ever try to get to the Outback or Gibson Bay at rush hour? How about traffic after football

games? What do these things have in common?

They both have a large amount of traffic that is both clustered and hec- tic. This madness would be tenfold if a chemical disaster ever happened at the Bluegrass Army Depot and panic ensued! The roads would be littered with citizens in 4-wheel coffins and students in yellow coffins. The scene would be like the 1990 road to Bagdad.

An evacuation plan for Richmond, including Eastern, exists. The Madison County Emergency Response Center (EOC) has a 7-hour evacuation plan that is woefully inade- quate and fails to provide maximum protection as federal law dictates.

The highly dangerous fact is that the evacuation plan, developed by Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness Program (CSEPP), has not been disclosed (admitted to) publicly by federal, state or local authorities as the agencies are responsible to do as a vital part of their mission. This is a needless dan- ger to families, friends, and especial- ly students.

The Department of the Army has a

contract with our community, which states that public safety is number one, unconditionally. But after a decade, an ineffective disorganized lack of planning exists that we know nothing about Is the Army's main goal safety or convenience?

Do you (Eastern students) know what to do for your survival when a toxic plume arrives over campus? Eastern is entitled to campus shelters that have installed over-pressuriza- tion with carbon filters. Where are they?

Another scary fact is that the Depot has "leakers," contained most- ly in the bunkers, quite frequently. The defense states that everything is confined within the "igloos" because of proper containment. But the Blue Grass Chemical Activity (BGCA) has the responsibility for monitoring which is a zero-tolerance procedure. Yet in 1997, they failed to report these incidents.

These are the same weapons that were used in "The Rock" and every- body remembers the scene where the guy is left in the chamber and essen- tially melts down. This make every- body's stomach turn but is a reality within the county. If a disaster hap- pened today, what would you do?

Federal law entitles the communi-

ty, which includes Eastern, to a com- prehensive protection. Evacuation is only one part

Over-Pressurization with filters for schools, universities and hospi- tals, and Home-Shelter-In-Place with training is the large part. This vital information and education have been deliberately withheld from all of us.

To further prove that vital informa- tion has been withheld from citizens, a small special interest group has been meeting secretly and clandes- tinely for the purpose of revising Kentucky Law KRS 224.150-130.

This law guarantees that the com- munity will have maximum protection by CSEPP with its two partners DOA and Federal Emergency Management Agency. If this revision happens, it will allow these groups to continue their usual bureaucratic non-produc- tive meetings that have been going on for the past 10 years.

The intent of this article is not to worry any students. Power comes in numbers and we must demand action in the event of an emergency for the vital protection of our health.

A petition is currently being circu- lated that supports CCCC's (Concerned Citizens for CSEPP

File photo

Forty-nine Igloos store three different chemical agents — VX nerve gas, GB nerve gas and mustard gas — in the Bluegrass Chemical Activity area at the depot.

Compliance) to stop this KRS224.150-130 revision farce. The CCCC is simply asking for the safety for our community and university as defined in federal law and CSEPPs own policy paper. Please sign this petition and get involved with your voice, your mind, and protect your

health. The next CAC (Citizens Advisory

Commission) meeting is 5:30 p.m. Nov. 18 at Berea Library, so come ask some questions and demand action. Besides you wouldn't want someone asking you if you want mustard gas on your hotdog!

Job search a sign of growing up

DON KNiGhT GonaFlahln

Don Knight is a senior jour- nalism major from Richmond and Managing Editor of the Progress.

It's there every day on my calendar as a constant reminder — 37,36,35, 34... — the countdown to the end of

my final semester at Eastern. I've looked forward to this day with

great anticipation since the fall of "96 when I started college and now as it draws near I'm getting nervous.

Ever since my first paper route in seventh grade I've always had a job. And over the years my list of jobs has includ- ed paperboy, photographer, soldier, garbage man, cashier and editor of this newspaper.

As one ended I just drifted into the other without much prior thought. Even joining the Army was a spur of the moment decision. But as graduation approaches and my job search picks up speed my anxiety builds.

Two weeks ago I made an important step toward finding my next job by attending a journalism job fair during the College Media Advisors / Associated Collegiate Press Convention

in Atlanta. I've been sending letters to newspapers advertising for photogra- phers during the semester but at the job fair this weekend were my first inter- views. I've had many interviews before but these were different I could defi- nitely hear the clock to graduation and unemployment ticking.

Over die past two summers during my search for internships school was a kind of safety net. If things didn't work out I knew it wouldn't be the end of the world because I knew I would be back in school in the fall.

In Atlanta I found myself playing a new game, trying to sell myself to news- papers while they tried to sell them- selves to me in a mass market of job seekers and employers. All the while sizing each other up much like the ritual plucking of melons at the grocery store. The only problem is you never know if you bought a good one until you get it home and slice it open.

I was nervous for my first interview

but by lunchtime six interviews later I had become accustomed to the process. I'm convinced the only reason things went smoothly was all my prepa- ration. That preparation began my first semester at Eastern. My work at the Progress plus internships and class- work had prepared me for entering the job market

But with all that preparation I can't help but still be nervous about the future. My first job after leaving F-astern won't be my job for the rest of my life. Like most other people today I will make several job changes before retir- ing. But where I'm at right now feels like the most important decision of my life.

I didn't bring any melons home from the fair. But I did meet several recruiters from newspapers across the country. And I have a prospects to fol- low up on now that I'm back home, and I hope to be eating a ripe melon by gradu- ation.

Police Beat: Nov. 1-7

Ponce catch

A Richmond woman is breathing a little easier after police found a man who was allegedly follow- ing her around masturbat- ing in his vehicle.

According to police reports, Eastern student Christopher Conner, of Danville, allegedly followed and harassed the victim as she walked home from class. The incidents began by the Baptist Student Union Building along Kit Carson Drive, then contin- ued as he passed her on South Second Street at Summit Street, Wellington Court, Third Street and ended on Fourth Street. The victim stated a similar incident happened during the summer.

When the incident was first reported at the end of September, the identity of the suspect wasn't known. According to police it was only after the suspect came into the restaurant in which the victim worked that she was able to get his license plate number.

Campus police traced the vehicle's tags to Danville and then called the Danville City Police depart- ment that provided the campus police with infor- mation regarding Conner.

Conner admitted to the incident over the summer, but denied being involved in the later one, according to the police report.

Charges of indecent exposure were filed in Richmond's district court

Construction begins on Blanton driveway BY SHAWN HOWQNS News editor

The president's historic house will soon be getting a modern addition. '

Work began last week at the Blanton House, which has been the home of the president since 1912, to install a new driveway.

This drive will also include a wheelchair ramp to make the Blanton house more accessible to the handicapped.

The new driveway starts behind the Blanton house on the side near the Jones building.

The university had originally planned to build a circular drive in front of the house, the area was staked off with little red flags but objections were raised because this would have damaged trees in the area.

Vice president for academic affairs and finance Doug Whitlock said that putting the dri-

veway behind the house was less disruptive to the trees and also would not mar the view of the house.

"It is a historic residence and we have to be concerned about that." Whitlock said.

At least one tree had to be removed for the project, and a section of a stone wall will be taken out to make way from the ramp.

The ramp should make the house easier to negotiate than the previous step arrangement, and bring the house more in line with accessibility regulations.

Eastern's Campus Accessibility map, a map produced by the Office of Services for Students With Disabilities that shows ele- vators, ramps, and handicapped parking along with other accessi- bility options currently shows none of these in the area of the Blanton house.

Forum to discuss all issues facing students

BY JUSTIN BOLTOW AND JESSICA WELLS

News writers

Eastern has several computer labs besides the main ones in Combs and the 24-hour one in the Library. Many students aren't aware of these options.

"I didn't know about all the other places you could go," said Chad Wendel, a police administra- tion major from Bellevue. "I'm sure other people don't either."

There are several labs used .in classes or otherwise that are most of the time open to students, such as labs in Wallace and an all- Macintosh lab in Donovan Annex.

On Oct. 22, the Student Technology Lab in the library offi- cially opened a new extension. It brings the library's lab up to a total of 130 new computers, which should help alleviate waits.

The new lab was the result of a $50 tech fee added onto each student's tuition bill every semes- ter.

"I think it's worth it; I'd pay it just to get a computer," said Katrina Curtsinger, a 19-year-old sophomore history major from Harrodsburg. "It's better than having to buy one."

Joseph Rogers, an 18-year-old freshman physical education major from Greensburg, said he doesn't think it's too hard to find a computer.

"There's a lot of different labs on campus." Rogers said.

Opan forum : 5 p.m. today

:Grise Room,

Combs Building

BY JAME VHSOH Assistant news editor

The Student Senate will host an open forum today for all stu- dents at 5 p.m. in the Grise room of the Combs building. The forum is designed for stu- dents to pre- sent any con- cerns or prob- lems they have on cam- pus.

"The stu- dents will be controlling the forum," said Student Body President Chris Pace.

The forum will run in a ques- tion-discussion format.

"We're going to address their (students) problems," said stu- dent body Vice President Rodney Tolliver. "We won't be following any set agenda."

The plus/minus grading sys- tem will probably be discussed at the forum.

"The plus/minus grading system means that in the fall of next year, there won't be flat grades," said Pace. "A 4.0 will be considered an A; however an A-, will be somewhere along the lines of a 3.67. Academic affairs chair Kim Baker is against this system."

The Student Senate will also

tell students what their organiza- tion is for.

"We want students to know what the senate is," said Tolliver. "We also want them to be aware of how we're working for them."

The Senate will talk about how to more effectively represent stu- dents. That might mean

■ having more senators.

"One of the things we've talked about is the fact that

there are 700 students per sena- tor." said Pace. "It's hard for one person to represent 700."

Student senate is just the start of the process.

"We will let the students ask questions," said Pace. "Well dis- cuss the student's issues and then formulate them into bills. Well then present them to the Board of Regents."

Pace assumes many other topics will be brought up as well.

"I am definitely sure that the parking issue will be brought up," he said.

"I have to give the students what they wanL" said Pace.

Turnout has been very low for other open forums this semester.

Yearbook: '99 Milestone to be delivered in January from the front

ago." he said. "We have formed a committee to try and get the Milestone back."

In the mid 90's the Milestone's publication was again cut to 3.000.

"We started looking at other col- leges to see if they had similar prob- lems," said Harrell. "We learned that a number of schools had com- pletely eliminated their yearbooks."

Harrell explains that student interest has decreased over the past few years.

"The numbers have steadily declined over the last decade." he said. "3,000 books were ordered for the "98 year and we had well over 1.000 left."

Eastern gave some of the leftover books away for community use.

The Milestone adopted a fall delivery schedule three years ago.

The "98 year book was deliv- ered in the fall of -98." said Harrell. The "99 book was supposed to be delivered in October, but is run- ning late." he said. "It will be here in January, and we will make sun- it is available to students."

Through the years we've been talking to students and studying this issue." said HarreD.

"We didn't conduct a campus- wide survey." said Harrell. "Input came from student leaders who felt the yearbook wasn't a student prior- ity anymore. We decided we should put our time and effort elsewhere."

Harrell said this was not an easy decision.

"We hate for something like this to happen." said Harrell. "When a

publication is no longer viable, you have to make the proper decision."

The department of mass com- munications did offer to take over the yearbook.

"On a number of occasions, we indicated the department would take responsibility for the Milestone, but not without release time for the advisor and some help with needed equipment," said Ron Wolfe, former chair of the depart- ment of mass communications. That offer was never accepted."

Several students were not aware of the Milestone's existence.

"I'm not sure what it is." said Susan Sanslow. a freshman office systems technology major from Richmond. "I would guess it to be the school newspaper."

Many students recognized the advantages of the Milestone.

Junior police administration major Matt Becker from Mkkfletown. Ohio likes the Milestone.

"It lets people see all the differ- ent groups and activities that are on campus," he said.

Barry Miller, editor of the Milestone during the '80-'81 school year, shared final thoughts on this issue.

"It's actually funny that this should happen now because in "80 we did a retrospective of the 70's, and now with the turn of the centu- ry coming to an end it seems like just yesterday I was working on it," said MiHer. "I still enjoy looking at it today. I am sorry to see it go. and just hope that the school is genuine- ly spending the money on some- thing just as important," he said.

Re-organization: Provost to make decision on Dec. 6 from the front

already been made and that some people in the department were kind of under the impres- sion that it would "just be a mat- ter of signing off on this."

Marsden assured that no decision would be made until Dec. 6. Marsden will make all of the decisions about changes except for ones that need to go before Faculty Senate or the Board of Regents.

Although the speech compo- nent of speech and theatre arts voted unanimously to move, the- atre wasn't willing to move.

"We feh that we'd have a tenden- cy to get more lost outside of the art department," said Jim Moreton, chair of speech and theatre arts.

The theatre department's pro- posal was to stay in the college of arts and sciences as a separate department. They also said that theatre and speech had grown less compatible over the years.

The next topic dealt with mov- ing the new department of com- puter science to the college of business and technology. Jaleh Rezaie, acting chair of math, statis- tics, and computers science, pro- posed that computer science was much more businessoriented and needed more connections to busi- ness to serve its students better.

Other computer programs such as computer information systems were also represented by faculty members who agreed that computer majors usually went into business applications.

Marsden's suggestion that Eastern's computer science departments merge programs or faculty into a department of com- puter engineering, as is the case at some larger colleges, was very controversial.

Much of the discussion time was taken up with arguments as to why this shouldn't happen.

A proposal to merge the department of health information with the department of health education was less controversial. Marsden did take issue with the new name, which was the depart- ment of health promotion and administration, asking if that was really "test marketed" enough with students.

Both of the aviation faculty were there, arguing the benefits of changing the program to a department and what it could bring to the university.

The main opposition they met dealt with granting department status to such a small program. Dean of the college of business and technology Robert Rogow said he thought the departmental status should be considered as the program grows, but that he didn't feel it was appropriate now.

Aviation faculty Tony Adams and Fred Ruppel argued that their program was unique and that it offered a lot to students for a relatively low cost. Flight time expenses for students cost about $18,000. That's expensive for a course of study at Eastern but a good deal for an aviation degree. Adams and Ruppel said.

President: Martin spent 16 years at Eastern from the front

Babbagc was the editor of the Progress in 1973, and had known Martin since he was a child.

When the law program was being considered, a consultant recommended it shouldn't be added. Within two weeks, ground was breaking for the new com- plex. The university is now known for its law enforcement college.

Martin didn't have any chil- dren of his own. Tom Myers, for- mer vice president for academic affairs, once said. This guy gave everything he had to the universi- ty. He had no children. These stu- dents were his children."

"You may have disagreed with him at times, but you knew he always saw the bigger picture." Babbage said.

"He had a great deal of vision," Sandra Martin, Robert's niece and assistant professor of physical education said.

In the Dec. 10, 1970 issue of the Progress, Martin wrote a col- umn wishing all the students and faculty a Merry Christmas. Sandra said he took the time to learn everything about the cam- pus and its people. There were not many people he didn't know the names of, she recalled.

"He was the forerunner in making sure the 'campus beauti- ful' stayed the 'campus beautiful,*" Sandra Martin said.

Martin's presidency from 1960- 1976 became known as "The Martin Years."

As quickly as he took the school by storm, he surprised the Board of Regents with his announcement in 1976.

In April, Martin announced his intention to retire, effective September 30,1976. He then asked the Board to designate him as "President Emeritus," which it did.

After Martin retired from Eastern, he was elected to represent

the 22nd District in the Kentucky State Senate. He served from 1977- 1986 in the Senate, serving as vice chairperson .of the Education Committee and as a member of the Appropriation and Revenue, and Health and Welfare Committees.

On Nov. 29, 1997, the "President Emeritus" died after battling pneumonia. He was 86.

Sandra Martin remembered speaking to him for the last time, two hours before he passed away.

"He reminisced about being a teacher, an administrator at Eastern, and EKU football." Sandra said.

Eastern and Western were playing that day at Western, Sandra recalled. Martin went to the emergency room and later intensive care. She filled him in on the game.

The man who devoted 16 years to Eastern died with the school on his mind.

"He lived it, breathed it, and eventually died with it," Sandra said.

KEEP ON STRUMMEST

Photo submitted Jo* Strummer and his new band, The Mescaleros, tackle hip-hop, techno and R4B with their release. "Rock. Art and the X-Ray Style" The CD is Stammer's first since 1989s "Earthquake Weather."

Former Clash frontman delivers best goods after decade gap between albums From his days with The Clash

to his sporadic solo work. Joe Strummer has rarely

repeated himself. From the three-chord punk-

rock assault of The Clash's "White Riot" to the mellow, tejano-flavored "Sleepwalk" from his solo career. Strummer has always experimented with his music.

With his latest CD "Rock, Art and the X-Ray Style." his first album since 1989's "Earthquake Weather," Strummer expands his horizons even further than before.

Backed by his new band The Mescaleros, Strummer embraces hip-hop, tech- no and R&B styles mixing them with Strummer staples rock, tejano, and funk and delivers his most ambitious album to date.

In the opening track Tony Adams," Strummer pieces togeth- er various vignettes of one hectic night into a poetic narrative.

Tonigkt there was a power cul in the city of madness/All conversations died in a burst of a solar flare/In the darkness an angel won the beauty pageant/And stroboscopic snow/lakes felt from the stratosphere."

In addition to his usual, metaphor-laden songs, Strummer also writes about his new musical philosophy in a straight-forward manner.

W*W

JAMES ROBERTS Beyond & Back

The track The Road to Rock n' Roll" explains how music fads come and go and how musicians will be left behind if they don't grow and try to forget the past.

"On the road to rock n' roll/There's a lot of wreck- age in the ravine/Some you recognize/Used to hang out on the scene."

"Diggin' the New" expands on that theme.

"One of those top nights of the year/I see everyone's here/Took a long time to get it/But when its taken time to think you don I for- get it."

Strummer goes on to advise that no matter

^^^m how big a style may be today, it could be gone

tomorrow. "Crashing head-on into the

future/It won't even leave a dent/Just walk in like you own it/Remember, it ain't made in cement."

These songs could be seen as a message to The Clash's fans, as well as people involved with the band, who have been perpetuating rumors of a reunion since 1995.

Strummer explained his philos- ophy of embracing new styles in The Road to Rock N' Roll" and "Diggin' the New" and he prac- tices what he preaches with "Yalta Yalta."

With this track, Strummer trav- els headlong into techno music.

There is none of Strummers characteristic guitar style, in fact, there are no guitars at all. The song still comes through as a clas- sic Strummer composition and his vocal style meshes well with the electronic music.

The 10 songs on the CD consti- tute the strongest collection in Strummer's history (even The Clash's acclaimed"London Calling" had its weak songs). The only things hurting this album are that tracks six and seven ("Diggin" the New" and Nitcomb") are flipped on the track listings and the track "Ocean of Dreams" fea- turing former Sex Pistols guitarist Steve Jones, had to be removed because of a legal squabble over a sample used in the song.

Strummer loves to use metaphors in Tfls songs and some are so obscure that the listener may never get much out of it The songs on this album also con- sist of very personal subject mate- rial and those who are not familiar with Strummer's glory days with The Clash and his subsequent struggles with his solo career may feel left in the dark.

For those who have followed Strummer from the early days, this CD represents a journey of an angry young man to becoming an understanding middle-aged man. For those who know nothing about Strummer. it's just a great CD.

BY PAMB. PREKOPA Contributing writer

In the best suspense film since "Silence of the Lambs," Denzel Washington plays in his most chal- lenging role yet

Washington ("Malcom X". "The Siege") plays Lincoln Rhyme, an NYPD forensics investigator who has been paralyzed from the neck down, except for one finger, from an acci- dent while on duty.

Immobilized in his apartment with the assistance of a computer and a live-in nurse, he is planning for doctor- assisted suicide to avoid a seizure that will eventually make him a vegetable.

Rhyme is actually given something to live for when a prominent city resi- dent is found brutally murdered at a railway track. The beat cop who finds him risks her life by stopping a rail- car to keep it from destroying evi- dence and photographs the evidence for study.

This quick thinking brings the beat cop Amelia (Angelina Jolie) into the eyes of Rhyme, and he makes her the forensic investigator for the clues the killer leaves behind.

The evidence at the murder gives clues to the killer's next murder, but every time Rhyme and Amelia are too late to save the victim. As the plot twists build, the tension rises, and the stakes become all the more higher.

This film is wonderfully directed by Philip Noyce ("Patriot Games". "Clear and Present Danger"), who is no stranger to the intellectual thriller. However, with this film, Noyce takes

his directing a level higher and not only gives an intellectual thriller, but a creepy suspenseful shocker. A stu- dent of Alfred Hitchcock can find a lot of Hitchcockian influences in Noyce's directing of this film. Once can even go as far as to say that this is as close to a Hitchcock film that anybody has come.

Washington is brilliant in playing one of the hardest roles to play: a paraplegic. For almost the whole movie, he is bedridden, unable to move. In typical Washington fashion, he doesn't play a role, he becomes a role. Every little detail is added.

including the scar on his neck from the air hole the paramedics have to make when a person is paralyzed.

Jolie has trouble getting past her Ashley Judd-type looks, but she proves to have a strong on-screen presence and solid acting. It is the chemistry between she and Washington, much like the chemistry between Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins in "Silence of the Lambs," that keeps this film tense. Their chemistry might not be as good as Foster and Hopkins' was. but it cer- tainly proves capable of holding up the film.

TVluchAdo' at Eastern in comedic, romantic play PROGRESS STAFF REPORT

The Eastern theatre depart- ment will present, for the first time their production of William Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing" on Nov. 17 through Nov. 20.

The play will be performed in the Gifford Theatre in the Jane F. Campbell Building at 8 p.m. nightly.

Tickets are now on sale at the box office from 12-4 p.m. Students and Senior citizens tickets are $4. Adults are $5. Call 622-1323 to order tickets.

Love is at the heart of this Shakespearean play: Hero loves Claudio, but Beatrice and Benedick have to be tricked into realizing their true feelings so that everyone can live happily ever after.

Shakespeare has a definite appeal to the public and James Morton, the play's director, says that appeal lies in the lan- guage.

"His use of language, the things he says about the human experiences (is the appeal)." Moreton said.

Eastern students Julia Gallagher and Andrew Borne will play the lead roles of Beatrice and Benedick respec- tively. In all, the production features a cast of 20.

Collins, Asel injured in 45-30 loss to Murray BY JEREMY STEVENSON Sportswriier

MURRAY — The scene outside the Colonel locker room after

Saturday's 45-30 loss to Murray State summed up the game: Colonel quarterback Chad Collins sat quietly and winced in pain as a trainer examined his right shoulder.

Colonel strong safety Scooter Asel paced the hallway, getting acquainted with his new crutch- es and broken right fibula. Coach Kidd came out of the locker room, grabbed the hand of a little girl and went outside to speak with reporters and sup- porters.

"We didn't make any plays," Coach Kidd said.

In a game the Colonels need- ed to win, they were beaten.

The Colonels head into the final two games of the season with no room for another loss, as the Colonels now have two losses in the OVC (3-2).

The Racer's first offensive play was a good indication that it wasn't the Colonels day. Racer quarterback Justin Fuente completed a 71-yard touchdown pass to wide receiv- er Jason French to put the Racers ahead early.

This play also delivered a huge blow to the Colonel defense. Junior safety Scooter Asel broke the fibula in his right leg when he tried to make a touchdown saving tackle.

"I was chasing the guy, I made a cutback and my foot just stuck in the turf, Asel said.

The Colonel offense struck back with a 21-yard touchdown pass from Chad Collins to receiver Alex Bannister.

Murray went on to score four more times in the first half, bringing their total first half score to 35.

Senior strong safety Scooter Asel could only watch the game against Murray St. from crutches. Asel broke his ankle earty in the first half.

The Colonels' second score came off an eight-yard run by Corey Crume.

At the half the Colonel's were down by three touchdowns, 35- 14.

In the first half the Murray defense did not stop the Colonels; dropped passes and other mistakes stopped them.

They stopped us on our first drive in the first half. After that, we stopped our own drives," Kidd said.

After trailing by 21 points, the Colonels cut the Racer lead to five with 11:38 to play in the game.

The Colonel comeback was sparked by a blocked punt, which resulted in a safety for the Colonels.

The comeback was led by sophomore quarterback Gary Gumm. Gumm came into the game after Collins injured his right shoulder.

Gumm completed 11 of 16 passes for 118 yards and two touchdowns.

"I thought he (Gumm) came in and played very well," Collins said.

The comeback fell short. After the Colonels cut the lead.

Fuente threw a 26-yard pass to Terrence Tillman on the Racer's next drive.

A Gumm sack in the end zone gave the Racers a safety and their final points.

"It's only a great comeback if you win," Kidd said.

Corey Crume and Derick Logan both usually average about 95 yards per game rushing.

In this game, Crume was held to 66 yards, and Logan was held to only 24 yards. The two combined only carried the ball five times in the second half.

The Colonels rushed for 82 yards total against Murray, com- pared to the 202 yards the Colonels were averaging head- ing into the Murray game.

Fuente and the Murray offense put up 561 total yards on 77 plays. Eastern compiled 365 yards on 73 plays.

"They (Murray) threw the ball over 30 times and didn't have one holding penalty against them. I can't believe that would ever happen in a football game," Kidd said.

the goal line for a touchdown in Eastern's loss against Murray

BY DPHN KLAREB Sports writer

The Eastern football team heads into this weekend's game against the Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles with literally noth- ing to lose. The Colonels playoff hopes were all but shattered after consecutive losses to Murray State and Tennessee State over the last two weeks.

The task does- n't (jet easier for the Colonels this Saturday as they are set to face a 5-3 Tennessee Tech team with a defense that is limiting opponents to only 16.9 points per game this year. Eastern lost to Tennessee Tech last year in triple-overtime.

Eastern head coach Roy Kidd knows that his team, which was ranked #17 in the latest USA- Today/ESPN Division I-AA poll before the loss to Murray, will be

in for another tough test against Tech's rock-solid defense.

"Our offensive team is going to be challenged because defensive ly they are without a doubt the best team in the league, and it is because of their work ethic." Kidd said. "We're just gonna have to

regroup and good

Eastern vs. Tennessee Tech When: 2 p.m., Saturday

Where: Tennessee Tech

do job."

"They run the foot- ball, they attack, they hit you, and they're aggressive," Kidd said. "I

am tremendously impressed with the way they get after you. I don't think it is so much that they have a lot of great athletes as it is how hard they play."

Tech's outstanding defense is led by senior defensive end Branon Vaughn, who was last year's OVC defensive player of the year, and Tech's all-time sack leader.

On the offensive side of the

ball, the Golden Eagles will go to senior wide receiver Walter Hill, who has gained 342 receiving yards already this season.

The overall Tech offensive, though, has struggled this sea- son, scoring only 166 points in eight games thus far this season

The status of Eastern quarter- back Waylon Chapman, who missed last week's game against Murray with a separated shoul- der, is doubtful for the Tech game.

Chapman is having a standout year for Eastern thus far, having completed 96-164 passes for 1,261 yards and 13 touchdowns plus only four interceptions.

Like Eastern, the Golden Eagles are coming off consecutive OVC losses, and have little or no chance of making the OVC play- offs. It appears that the game will be more a matter of pride for both teams than anything.

"We can finish up 8-3, which would not be a terrible season, but we certainly don't want to go 6-5 again." Kidd said.

So long, Payton; addressing some complaints

JAY JONES Sports Notion

No playoffs again in "99. This col- umn is being written with a heavy heart for two reasons

this week. first of all. this past weekend's loss

at Murray most likely sealed the fate of the Colonels' chances of making

. the playoffs in 1999. The season is not over by far; how-

ever, it seems that the Colonels will miss the post season for the second year in a row.

The question now is whether or not the team can avenge last year's heartbreaker at Tennessee Tech.

The Eagles are having a great year and will look to continue their win- ning ways in Cookeville on Saturday. The triple-overtime loss last year should motivate Eastern enough to pull off the upset. Good luck to the Colonels on Saturday. If the playoffs aren't on the horizon, then let's at least go out with two big victories to end the season.

The death of a great man The second thing is the untimely death of one of the classiest guys in all of sports. Walter Payton defined the term grace with his kind demeanor off the field and his run- ning style on the field. The Chicago Bear running back was the epitome of what makes sports great.

I am not a big believer in athletes being portrayed as heroes simply because they can run a football, or dunk a basketball or do anything spectacular on a playing field.

There are, however, some players WHO do deserve that kind of recogni- tion because of the kind of lives they live in front of the world, and Payton was one of those athletes

It can't be easy for any athlete to live a stress-free life while always being placed on display. Payton defined class with an uncanny ability to keep a smile on his face no matter the hardships that were put in front of

him. The rest of us were blessed to have

seen him run through defensive lines and secondaries like a battering ram, and then turn around and help the guy who he just knocked on his butt.

Walter Payton, 45, died after a short bout with cancer. It may have been the only thing in his life that he couldn't just run over.

The poise of a gentleman, wrapped in the shell of a world-class athlete, that was Payton. We will miss you "sweetness." We will miss you as the athlete who ran for the most yards in the history of the NFI, but what well miss the most is your ability to make the game's negatives disappear when #.'14 was on the field. Addressing a complaint

Finally, this week I would like to address a complaint that has been thrown down by the cross-country team about the coverage we give

them. It is not only impossible to please everyone, but it is also improb- able.

The sports staff at the Progress is a small group of people who attend classes and bust our butts the same as the rest of the students on campus. We are human and can only be so many places at the same time.

The handful of writers on the sports staff are all very dedicated to providing the best coverage possi- ble for as many sports as possible. I am very proud of the work that we do here and will not apologize for that effort, even if someone is upset by it.

We make mistakes, and we accept the consequences accordingly. We do not, however, intentionally omit a story because we don't like a certain team. It is simply a question of logis- tics. We can't be everywhere, and therefore, we can't cover everything.

The complaint stemmed from the

lack of intense coverage of the OVC championships won by the men's and women's cross-country teams. We had one photographer available and I made the decision to send him to Nashville to photograph the football game. We made extra efforts to obtain photographs from an independent source, but could not do so.

The cross-country team needs to know that there is no one on this campus who is more aware and proud of the accomplishments they've stacked up this season than I am. Coach Rick Erdmann is one of the people whom I have grown to respect the most in the athletic department and deserves as much recognition as possible.

I applaud the cross-country team for the dynasty they continue in the OVC and hope that success contin- ues into the National Championships. I do not, however, apologize for any decisions the staff has made so far.

Mens golf team closes fall season; finish ninth

The Eastern men's golf team finished its fall season last week with a ninth-place showing in the 14-team Intercollegiate tournament in Florence, S.C.

The Colonels were in fourth place through one round, but shot back-to-back rounds of 316 to finish ninth. Eastern was 68 strokes off the pace set by the victorious Jacksonville State University team.

This is a very challenging golf course and we had to be on our game every hole," said men's golf coach Pat Stephens.

"We had a couple of bad holes and it just seemed to snowball after that. We began losing our confidence there and could never recover."

Senior Brandon Tucker was the top finisher for the Colonels, tying for 21st place with a score of 229. Other top performers for the Colonels included Eric Willenbrink, Brad Morris, Jim Milam, and Sam Covitz.

Eastern is set to resume play this spring, and Stephens said he expects a much- improved team with "a lot of ability."

Cross Country receives all- OVC honors for 11 runners

Based on their performance in the OVC championships, six members of the Eastern men's cross country team were voted to an all-conference team. James Mutuse, Mohammed Khayr, and David Kabata were all voted to the first team, while Ryan Parrish, Sota Ogawa, and Gary Garmen made second team all-OVC honors.

Mutuse also was awarded the 1999 Runner of the Year for men's cross country due in large part to his showing at the OVC championships.

For the women, Jenni Brown, Heather Davel, and Celestina Ogbolugo all made first team honors.

Theresa Olsen and Jennifer Wheeler were both awarded second team honors.

EKU beats Eagles; loses to Murray

Junior Courtney Bowen hits the ball around the block of Motehead State's EmHy Bell for another kill during a match Tuesday night. Eastern won the match 11-15,15-11, 15-4,15-12.

BY ANDREW KERSEY Sportswriter

The Colonel's volleyball team went into action last weekend against two conference foes. Eastern went on the road, and they split the two games for a loss and a victory in the confer- ence.

The Colonels, which improved to 11-16, faced off with Tennessee-Martin on Friday and beat the Sky hawks in the match.

Eastern got out of the gate fast by taking the first game 15- 11. Eastern took the next two games by a score of 15-9 to sweep the Skyhawks on their home floor.

Junior Courtney Bowen led the Colonels in kills with 14, and had 11 defensive digs. Junior Mary Lee Keranko had a .444 attack percentage.

The Colonels traveled to Cutchin Fieldhouse at Murray and suffered their 17th loss of the year to a tough Murray St. team on Sunday.

The Colonels fell behind

early when they lost the first game 1S8. They lost the second match 15-4. The last game went to Murray also as they complet- ed the sweep with a score of 15- 2.

Mary Lee Keranko played strongly again with a .333 attack percentage against the Racers. Freshman Becky Galati led the team with seven kills and four digs.

The Colonel's volleyball team won another key OVC match on Tuesday against Morehead State.

Despite losing the first game 15-11, Eastern was able to fight back to hand Morehead a tough loss.

Junior outside hitter Courtney Bowen had 19 kills and sophomore right-side hitter Courtney Huyser had 18 kills with a .485 attack percentage.

The Colonels still have a chance at the conference cham- pionship if they win two out of their next three regular season matches.

Drop that jelly doughnut Strength coach helps firm up Eastern athletics BY JOHN HAYS Contributing writer

Every corporation, regardless of size, has someone working diligently behind the scenes making sure everything remains in working order. Eastern's Athletic Department has Mike Kent.

Kent was named strength and conditioning coordinator in June. Hailing from Fairmont, West Virginia, Kent graduated from East Fairmont High School in 1978. He attended college at Fairmont State College (WV) where he received his Bachelor of Arts degree in 1982 in a dou- ble major of education and social studies.

While completing his mas- ters of arts in recreation resources at North Carolina State, Kent served as graduate assistant with the NC State Wolfpack football program.

After brief stints at Shepherd College (WV) and East Carolina University, Kent was named strength and conditioning coor- dinator at Appalachian State University (NC) where he spent nine years and was named 1995 strength and Conditioning

Coach of the Year. Kent named three factors in

making his decision to come to Eastern Kentucky University.

"My working relationship with Athletic Director Jeff Long, whom I've known since our N.C. State days," Kent said. "And my utmost respect for Roy Kidd, and the chance to get into a brand new facility."

For every hour that I may work out, I feel that would be one hour used to condition an ath- lete.

Mike Kent. Strength Coach

yy Kent actually had the oppor-

tunity to help design the new state of the art classroom and conditioning building where the conditioning programs take place.

"We operate basically from about 5:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. every- day, at least five days out of the week." Kent said. "We also have to maintenance our own equip

ment, so we're going pretty much all day long.

Kent manages making sure every athlete on Eastern's 16 teams are properly conditioned with the help of an assistant, Brendon Gregory. It makes the day a long one for a two-man crew, according to Kent

"The most important thing is through all the things we are trying to accomplish, you never forget why you are here; for the student-athlete, both on the court and in the classroom," Kent said.

"Knowing that I have made a difference with the kids and see- ing that they are successful on the field or on the court and hav- ing part in that success is by far the most thrilling," Kent said.

Kent said people assume he works out a lot

"Sure I run and lift," Kent said. "I dont work out as much as everyone thinks because we're time-strapped for hands- on training for our athletes. For every hour that I may workout, I feel that would be one hour used to condition an athlete."

Kent and his wife, Deenea, live in Richmond and are build- ing a cabin in Berea.

"I'm an out-in-the-woods kind of guy, and I want to be out away from every thing, so we're really fired up about moving to our new cabin," Kent said.

Host Communications to oversee corporate sponsorships BY JAY JONES

Sports editor

The ability of Eastern to mar- ket its athletics programs just got a major boost.

The athletic department announced during the media day for the women's basketball pro- gram that it had reached a mar- keting agreement with Host Communications.

The Lexington based compa- ny, which also has offices in Texas and New Jersey, will over- see the sale of corporate sponsor- ships for the athletic department as well as ticket sales for football and both men's and women's bas-

ketball. Host will also be in charge of

the production of athletic publica- tions, including game programs and media guides.

The important question is how the partnership will benefit the university as a whole. Eastern Athletic Director Jeff Long is excited about the potential that exists to increase the visibility as well as revenue for the university.

"This will raise the bar for us in the amount of revenue we can generate," said D>ng. "I think this relationship will help us grab a bigger share and maximize the potential we have here."

They're going to work with

•• It has the poten- tial to be a great relationship.

Jeff Long Director of Athletics

yy me and my staff on all areas of marketing," said Long. "Host will place a staff member here x num- ber days of the week to work with us in selling those partnerships with advertisers."

The agreement will begin immediately and continue until

the 2001-2002 academic year. Host has similar agreements with a long list of top college programs including Kentucky, Notre Dame, Tennessee and Florida State.

"Eastern is the only Div. I-AA school that has an agreement with Host." said Assistant Athletic- Director Dan McBride.

Host began in 1972 and took off in 1974 with two contracts, a basketball and football radio agreement with the University of Kentucky and an executive man- agement agreement with the National Tour Association.

The founder of Host Communications, Jim Hosl, is a native of eastern Kentucky and

currently resides in Lexington. "Being from eastern Kentucky,

I am aware of the great history of EKU athletics. We are excited about our involvement with this institution," said Host.

Eastern already has a contract with Dotronics for various aspects of the athletics programs.

This new contract does not affect that relationship. "The important thing to remember is that this agreement is separate from the marketing agreement we have with Dotronics for the score- board, Roy Kidd Stadium, and the new marquee," said Long.

"We will work to coordinate efforts between both companies."

Preview: Lady Colonels picked to finish fifth in conference

Susan Hatcher is one of two juniors on the squad. Hatcher scored 3.4 ppg last season.

Zoay Artist averaged 5.3 ppg and 2.8 rebounds for the Lady Colonels last season.

Maria Gearhart is the only senior and is returning after missing last season because of knee injury.

"We're gonna get up and down the floor." Inman said. "We're gonna press when the other team gets off the bus."

Junior forward Charlotte Sizemore heads the list of returnees for Eastern. Sizemore led the lady Colonels in scoring, averaging 17.6 points per game (ppg)- She was a first-team All- Ohio Valley Conference choice last year, finishing third in the league in scoring.

"From what I've seen so far. Charlotte may be even a step quicker than last year." Inman said.

Sharing the scoring load with Sizemore will be senior guard Maria Gearhart. Gearhart was leading Eastern in scor- ing last year with 14.2 ppg before suffering a season-ending knee injury against Louisville.

"Maria is the hub that turns the wheel," inman said. "She's back, and hopefully she is back with a vengeance."

Other returning starters are junior guard Larrya Wall, sophomore point guard Mikki Bond and junior forward-center Candice Finley. Bond started all of Eastern's games last year. She averaged 7.9 ppg. and chipped in on the boards with 4.9 rebounds. Bond also led the club in assists with 3.5 per game.

"She is extremely quick." Inman said. "She can really get up and down the court."

Wall scored 4.2 ppg and aver- aged 2.9 rebounds, while Finley averaged 7.8 ppg and 4.1 rebounds and led the team in blocked shots.

Sophomore guard Zoey Artist and junior forward Susan Hatcher saw playing time in all 27 games last year. Artist started eight games, averaging 5.3 ppg and 2.9 rebounds per game.

Coach Larry Joe Inman, who is beginning his 12th season, said the Lady Colonels have matured since last season's 11-16 overall record.

grabbed 1.9 rebounds per contest for the Lady Colonels.

"I'm excited about the way we play," Inman said. "I don't know how many games we're going to win yet, but we play fun. We have a lot of fun out there."

Eastern, which has netted two OVC championships in the past three years, will face tough com- petition early in the season against Miami and Xavier before jumping

into the OVC schedule. "You look at our sched-

ule. We don't play weak sisters and we don't play people we can easily beat," Inman said. "We play peo- ple to make our program competitive on a national level and a regional level and to expose our kids to the best that they can play against while they're here at Eastern Kentucky University."

"I'm worried about how they do when the bad times come," Inman said. "That's the character right there, how we respond during the bad times. We were young last year we've matured. I think we've matured enough to handle some of that now."

Whether the women win a bunch of games this year or not, at least one person is excited about his team's chances.

"I challenge you to come and watch this game and watch these kids lay it on the line," Inman said. "I guarantee you one thing, there ain't a team in America that's gonna lay it on the line any- more than we're gonna lay it on the line."

The Lady Colonels have four starters returning for the 1999-2000 season Eastern finished last year with an 8-10 OVC record. The sqaud was defeated by UT- Martin 102-87 in the opening round.

FromBI

During her rookie season, Sizemore averaged 8.9 points and 3.9 rebounds per game on a team that won its third OVC championship.

With only a few scrimmages and practices, Sizemore said she can she a championship season in the future for the 1999-2000 squad.

"We could win the OVC — surely to God. 1 hope so," Sizemore said. "1 think we're as good as that champi- onship team."

Sizemore's time at Eastern may not have been if the University of Kentucky's women's basketball coach Bernadette Mattox had- n't given her a scare.

"I had already com- mitted to Kentucky. I sent the papers in the mail and everything," Sizemore said. "Bernadette said four guards got sick during a practice and puked. I said I wasn't going there."

Women's basketball head coach Larry Joe Inman recruited Sizemore based on her perfor- mances at Hazard County High School and Breathitt County.

"I love Coach Inman. He's a great person and would do any- thing to help anybody," Sizemore said.

Since joining the Lady Colonels team in 1997, Sizemore has helped mold the foundation of leadership on the team.

Susan Hatcher and Sizemore are the only juniors while senior Maria Gearhart leads the pack. Despite having such a young group, Sizemore feels the team will be ready for action.

"I think everyone on the team can play. We've got a whole new

Charlotte Sizemore was named to the first-team all-conference unit during the pre-season

stronger in the post," Sizemore said.

Sizemore's success with the Lady Colonels is derived direct- ly from her standout career in high school.

From eighth grade to her junior year in high school, she played basketball for Breathitt County. Sizemore set school

records for points in a season (720) and points in a career (2.193).

Sizemore led the Hazard Bulldogs to a 37-1 record and both the All A and Sweet Sixteen state titles her senior year. She aver- aged 20.2 points and 7.3 rebounds during her one-year stint at Hazard.

"I think Charlotte is a very versatile player," Inman said. "I really like the makeup of our team and she plays a major role in our team play."

Sizemore was named to the First-team all-conference unit during the pre-season.

Even with so much recogni- tion, she feels her teammates are always there with support and not jealousy.

"I hope they're not (jealous) — they don't show it," Sizemore said.

The Lady Colonels finished last season with an 8-10 OVC record and placed sixth in the OVC standings.

When asked if the team will make it to the OVC champi- onships, Sizemore summed it up.

"Oh yeah. 111 be there." she said.

Being there is no worry for Sizemore, but she's making opponents wary of coming to Richmond.
