Over 1000 students attended the concert the next month, featuring Matthews and Tim Reynolds, at the Palace Theater. SAB is again coordinating a concert for U of L students. However, this year the talent is aimed to attract more minority students. SAB is awaiting official word from the group "Goodie Mob," and if their bid is accepted the concert will be Friday, March 31, at The Louisville Palace Theater. "The reason we selected Goodie Moq was mainly due to the original target audience for this concert," said Dave Needham, SAB member. "Since early last semester, the SAB has been searching for a R&B/Hip-Hop style concert mainly targeted for the minority population." Last year the Dave Matthews concert was co-promoted by the SAB and the Palace Theater, but this year the tables have turned. Needham says SAB has experienced numerous problems in plan-ning this concert because of the audience it is intended to attract. "The reason for the large delay was that the Palace, for two months, did not return our calls," said Needham. "Finally, in the middle of January, Julie Onnembo (SAB faculty advisor) and I went down to talk with the director. While he did not feel that ' this type of concert fit the image that the Palace was trying to build,' we were allowed to have the show there, but he declined co-promotion." Last week the Student Senate approved $41,000 to the SAB to sponsor the event. The expected production cost for Goodie Mob Fans celebrate victory over Syracuse at Red Barn By Mike Slaton Staff Writer Thursday night, University of Louisville fans were treated to a victory over No. 4 ranked Syracuse. About 50 students watched the game at the Red Barn, complete with free ribs from Mark's Feed Store, courtesy of the Speed School Student CounciL Before the game, comic Scott Henry entertained students while they dined on Subway sandwiches, courtesy of the Student· Activities Board. Thursday was not the first time that the Red Bam has showed a game, or that the SAB had brought in a comedian. However, the two events do not often coincide. Thursday night, no one seemed to mind. Dave Needham, the director of Variety Programming for SAB, had been impressed by Henry's performance at the National Association of Campus Activities conference. When the power went out unexpectedly, Henry improvised to keep the approximately 250 participants entertained. (Henry thought it was for an hour, but Needham suggested it had been 20 minutes.) When Needham learned that Henry, who is a professional comic from Los Angeles and has performed on Comedy Central and VH1, was going to be in Louisville, Needham contacted him to perform. Needham said the coincidence of the two events "just kind of happened ." He viewed this development positively, pleased with the crossover attendance and that both programs would get a "little more exposure."

Jeff Davis, a freshman mechanical engineering major who heard about the Red Barn's broadcast from friends, said the main draw was the free food. His companion, a freshman chemical engineering major who had given his ticket to a friend, also said that "if it (the game) gets ugly early, I can just get u p and leave early." Davis's friend asked to remain anonymous after giving this quote. Many students came for the comedy, the game, and the food. Byron Davis, a junior sports administration major, learned about the·event from fliers in his dorm. He spoke highly of the event and its organizat;ion, saying that he intended to return for future events. The only problem of the evening occurred when the amount of barbecued ribs delivered was too small.

The Dave Matthews concert cost $81,000. "In going before Senate, a motion was passed to front the money for this show in the amount of $41,000 which would cover expenses for either show," said Needham. The final decision of which group to sponsor was left up to the SAB. "'f!ley (Senate) figured that the SAB has a better feel for what the students would want and therefore left the choice of the artist up to us," said Needham. "In polling the SAB members the choice was made to continue with the Goodie Mob. Although Wycle( may draw a bigger audience, we felt that changing gears at this ]uncture was unrealistic with as little lead time as we have." Dave Matthews was not a sellout with the student-body last year, and with a more narrow audience, Goodie Mob is not expected to either, Needham said. "We don't anticipate selling out to U of L students," said Needham. "They will have the first opportunity to buy tickets. After that, the tickets will be opened to the . students in the Metro-area, including UK and KSU, and then to the general public."

Campaigns for SGA elections have begun By Amy Grimes News Editor Elections have arrived, but the candidates don't include Bush and McCarn. Student Government Association candidates at the University of Louisville are prepared to take a stand, propose a change, and campaign to be elected as the new leaders for the student body. As of yesterday, the 2000-2001 candidates began their official campaigns, and in .two weeks student voters will redeem who they believe to be the best. At a meeting last Thursday, SGA Election Commissioner Jessica Fryrear told the candidates that this year's commission is very focused on being a united and diverse ·group. "We have a representative from almost every school," she said. The commission regulates the election process and monitors equality and fairness during the campaigns. Through,out the next two weeks, candidates running for everything from SGA President to Student Senate will be campaigning their slates, as well as their ideas, to students. This year the commisston also promoted "informal" campaigning. "You can have personal conversations before the campaign starts onMonday(Feb.l4) to help get the word out to a more diverse group of people besides the people you already know," Fryrear told candidates at last week's meeting. "We want to get a more diverse group of voters." Fryrear also stated that the candidates will not be allowed to participate in any off-campus campaigning. "We want to keep it concentrated to the campus," she said. Students can learn more about who the candidates are, and their views, by attending the debates on Wednesday, Feb. 23 at noon in Floyd Theater, and on Thursday, Feb. 24 at noon on the Health Sciences campus (location to be determined). At 11:30 a.m., before both debates, students can take advantage of free pizza. Elections are Monday, Feb. 28 and Tuesday, Feb. 29. U of L doctor campaigning for better air bag warnings By Lee Speck , Assistant News Editor William Smock, a University of Louisville physician, is campaigning to have tougher warning labels placed on cars for both the driver and passenger in respect to air bags. The warnings are need to help protect both drivers and passengers who risk severe injuries if their arms or hands are in the way of the air bag when opened. Monday, Feb. 7, Smock presented a proposal to the federal highway safety officials in Washington, D.C. of the Na tional Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). In his proposal, Smock campaigned for new warning labels to be placed . on the vehicle's dash for both driver and passenger. Included in the label are warnings to the driver from resting hands on the middle of the steering wheel and to the passenger against bracing themselves with the dash during an accident. Smock has examined many cases in which patients have been seriously injured due to air bags at the ep1ergency room at University Hospital. From studying air bag safety for almost a decade, Smock feels that the warning label would help prevent some of these injuries. "I think that's a good idea, because I've gotten hit by an airbag and it knocked me unconscious," said Cameron Carberry, freshman art history major. While working with Parents for Safer Air Bags, an organization also campaigning for the new warning labels, Smock feels that his meeting with NHTSA went "wonderful" and hopes that soon the new labels will appear on cars. "I know that they're (air bags) dangerous, but it doesn't seem that a piece of paper is going to help," said Josh Justice, junior psychology major. Smock said that air bags have saved more lives than they have harmed, yet there is still a need for the label in helping people realize the danger of air bags. · He thinks that the warning labels will help prevent more serious injuries, thus making the air bag even more useful. Questions s till linger as to what is the best message to send to drivers. Some feel that the labels will not be enough, and_. that more should be done to·better the air bag and not just warn the driver and passenger of the danger of air bags. "What wiU a· warning do? Okay, you, put a warning in a car, but you s till have people driving the car," said Ben Lovely, senior biology major. "If air bags are killing people are they safe enough to have in a car." No decision has yet to be made concerning the proposal for stronger air bag warning labels. NHTSA's federal rules prevent any commenting on the proposal until a decision has been reached.
