McCoy said many of the fraternities

Women sometimes
better off resisting
attacks, report says

 

By Michael J. Sniiften
Associated Press

 

WASHINGTON — More than
60 percent of women who resisted
an attacker verbally or physically
think they improved their situation,
but experts wam that it’s hard to
tell when fighting back will help.

Some 23 percent of women who
resisted a rape, robbery or assault
by arguing, reasoning or fighting
back believed that self-protective
behavior did not help their situa-
tion, and 16 percent weren‘t sure,
according to a Justice Department
study released yesterday.

The report comes as the case of
Lorena Bobbin, the Virginia wom-
an who cut off her husband‘s penis.
has expanded public debate over
women who fightback.

And Congress is working on a
crime bill approved by the Senate
with new rules of evidence for rape
cases, funding for battered wom~
en‘s shelters and training for judges
and police about family violence
and rape.

The data on women who have re-
sisted comes from 400,000 individ-
ual interviews during 1987-1991
with a nationally representative
sample of women in the Bureau of
Justice Statistics‘ National Crime
Victimization Survey.

The bureau estimated 2.5 million
women a year were victims of vio-
lent crime.

But Dean Kilpatn’ck, director of
the Crime Victims Research and
Treatment Center at the Medical
University of South Carolina. point-

ed out that a small but important
minority — the 5,000 or so women
murdered in each of those five
years —— were not available to be
asked whether they resisted their at-
tackers.

“What if you knew more than 60
percent found resisting left them
better off, 20 percent or so were
worse off, but some were killed re-
sisting? What would you do?" the
clinical psychology professor
asked.

“It would be great if there was an
easy answer to the question of when
toresist. But it‘s difficult because it
depends on the situation. and each
woman faces a unique situation
with unique circumstances."

If someone‘s intent is clearly to
kill, a woman might as well resist,
Kilpatrick said.

“But some sadomasochists are in-
flamed to greater violence by resis-
tance,“ he added. “Broad generali-
zations are not useful."

Kilpatrick and Diane Alexander.
assistant director of the National
Victims Center in Arlington, Va..
agreed that the results of the Justice
study support a trend in recent years
away from uniformly advising
women not to resist attacks.

“That‘s why there's been a boom
in self-defense courses,“ Alexander
said.

The best of these courses do not
advise fixed responses, like “five
things to do to stop a rape," she
said.

“You have to use basic instincts.
it depends on the person. on the sit-
uation and on the rapist's motiva-
tion."

by black leaders, he is determined to speak out.

“If 1 can motivate one black or Hispanic kid
to say ‘I'm going to show him all Hispanics

he said.

“We‘ve tried it all — more welfare, lowering

Expert details
efi‘ects of rise
in population

 

By Dian Noren
Contributing Writer

 

Unless there is some effort at sta-
bilization, the increase in world
population will destroy the land,
natural resources and eventually hu-
man life, a national authority on
population and the environment
predicts.

Finding solutions to population
overgrowth has become a mission
for Clyde Dilley, who spoke at UK
Saturday during the Population-
Environment Workshop. a daylong
Sierra Club program.

Dilley is a member of the Sierra
Club‘s National Population Com-
mittee and founder of the Ohio Pop—
ulation Committee.

The purpose of Saturday's work-
shop was to educate people about
the detrimental effects of overpopu-
lation on the environment and to es-
tablish population activism in Ken-
tucky, officials said.

Those in attendance, about 20,
formed committees to devise a plan
of action to inform the public
through lobbying, literature and
similar workshops.

With improved technologies, Dil-
ley said, the world's population has
access to modern medicine and bet-

boys are champions again and the
Buffalo Bills are the undisputed
kings of the Super Bowl flop.

Washington. a backup safety, had
a hand in 17 of Dallas' points as
they beat the Bills 30-13, winning

 

Washington returned a fumble
46 yards for a touchdown. inter-
cepted a pass in the fourth quarter
that led to another score and forced
a first-half fumble that led to a field
goal.

Both fumbles were by Buffalo's
star running back. Thurman Thom-

symbolize the entire team's.

Lett, who has had to endure two
notorious gaffes. made the play

As a result, death rates have de-
creased. while birth rates continue
to increase.

This has created a larger demand
on the environment for food, shelt. r
and other basic needs.

Dilley said explosive population
growth is reflected in the desu'uc-
tion of the ozone layer, the threat of

Delk leads
deep UK
past Tigers

 

By Jay Reeves
Associated Press

 

AUBURN. Ala. — UK coach Rick Pitino
sounded almost apologetic yesterday after his
ninth-ranked Wildcats pressed Auburn further into
the Southeastern Conference cellar.

Tony Delk scored 25 points and
keyed a second-half surge as UK
took a 91-74 win over Auburn, the
only team yet to win an SEC game.

Auburn‘s Tommy Joe Eagles is
a superb coach and a great commu-
nicator, Pitino said. Auburn has
good players. he added.

"The problem is they don't have
the depth they need," Pitino said.
“For a team that‘s undermanned
I. “fill-1 and sick, they're tough to play

against."

Auburn (5-11. 0—8) made it to halftime tied at 40
after leading by as much as five in the opening
minutes. But history then repeated itself for Au-
burn. which has seen game after game slip away in
the second half.

UK (16-3. 6-2) tightened the press after the
break. and Auburn wilted. Travis Ford made it 46-
45 from the paint with 16:52 remaining, the start
of a 17-3 run that included nine points from Delk.
who is averaging 15 points a game.

“We didn‘t want to be in a position to have to
play their game, but that is what we did," Eagles
said.

Part of Aubum’s problem was UK’s shooting
down the stretch. The Wildcats were 76 percent
from the floor in the second half after shooting
only 43 percent in the fust.

Auburn sank half its shots in the first half, but
the Tigers got tired and dropped to 40 percent in
the second half.

Rodrick Rhodes added 19 points for the Wild-
cats, including 13 in the first half. and Andre Rid-
dick had 16, all but four before the half.

Aaron Swinson carried the Tigers with 23 points
in the second half on the way to a game-high 32
points. Swinson had 18 of Aubum’s final 22
points.

“We tried to put the ball in Aaron’s hands as
much as possible in the second half." Eagles said.
“He has worked hard on his shooting and took his
game to another level today."

Aubrey Wiley scored 17 points and grabbed 10
rebounds for Auburn, while Wesley Person — the
SEC’s leading scorer with 25 points per game —
was held to 16 points as he recovered from a stom-
ach virus.

Person said the problem was the Wildcats’
press, not his aching belly.

"We were prepared for what Kentucky did,"
Person said. “But in the second half. we just went
nuts."

Ford said the UK players talked about Aubum’s
problems after the game in the shower.

“Depth has a little bit to do with it,” he said.
They’re very talented. It’s a mystery."

Cats on the right track

Men ’S, women ’5 teams moving up in SEC

 

By Doc Purcell

The Southeastem Conference is known for many
things in the world of collegiate athletics. it‘s a breed-
ing ground for some of the nation‘s finest football tal-
ent and boasts a stockpile of baseball powers as well.

But perhaps the most awesome dimension of the
SEC is one that is all too often overlooked — the track
and field dominance that the conference has exhibited
in the past decade.

That dominance, which once was limited to such
running hotbeds as Arkansas and Tennessee, now
seems to be contagious as the coveted speed has
spread to Lexington and UK’s own Nutter Field
House.

The Wildcat track teams have always boasted some
of the conference‘s top distance running talent, but
while the longer races are still harboring quality per-
formances, it‘s the Wildcat sprinters that are sitting

squarely in the spotlight.

With UK's new and speedy indoor track serving as
the stage, a host of Cats showed why they are expect-
ed to make a major impact on the powers-that-be in
the SEC when the league championships arrive. Satur-
day’s Wildcat Track and Field Classic seemed to be
the perfect dress rehearsal for the theatrics the post-
season should provide.

“I think if you sit back and look at the results, you‘ll
see that our top sprinters dominated the meet and put
themselves on a real forefront on the national level,“
UK assistant track coach John Kenneson said of the
group’s collective performance.

The men‘s 55-meter dash was perhaps the most
glan‘ng testament to the Cats newfound stardom, as
sophomore Tim Harden led a UK sweep of the event‘s
top three spots, turning in the nation‘s fastest time this
year, with a 6.20 clocking.

Harden was followed by fellow sophomore Demar-
cus Lindsey and senior Clyde Rudolph, who finished
with times of 6.23 and 6.28 respectively.

The same trio exhibited the Wildcats‘ prowess in the
ZOO-meter dash as well. But this time it was Rudolph
who took top honors, clocking a 20.93. another national
best for the season. Lindsey and Harden were nearly as
impressive, finishing second and fourth with times of
21.15 and 21.45.

Despite the Wildcat men’s strong performance, the
Lady Kat sprinters refused to be overshadowed.

Freshman Michelle Brown continued her seasonlong
stranglehold on the long sprints, clinching double victo-
ries in the 200 in 24.53 and 400 in 54.94.

Freshman Passion Richardson capped UK‘s short-
distance showcase, winning the 55 in 6.93 and finishing
second to Brown in the 200 with a 24.66 clocking.

Other Wildcat victories included sophomore Raina
Turner in the high jump. with a leap of 5 feet, 10 inch-
es; junior Gloria Harris in the shot put, throwing 48
feet, 3 1/2 inches; and freshman Maureen Egan in the
800 with a season-best time of 2: 14. 67.

Cheers went up from the UK Gym Cats when the fi-
nal score was announced after their home meet Friday
night. An odd reaction, you might think. for a team
that just lost.

Not really. Although the Cats fell to No. 2 Alabama
192.125-188.325. they posted their highest score of
the season and perhaps proved they can com-
pete with the nation‘s elite.

And Jenny Hansen proved again she is one
of the nation’s elite. The defending NCAA
champion won the individual all-around com-
petition with a 39.075, nudging the Crimson
Tide's Meredith Willard and Chasity J unkin.

UK (0-3, 0-2 Southeastern Conference) start-
ed off strong as always on its best event, the
vault. Led by Hansen’s 9.95 and Robin Ew-
ing‘s 9.675, the Cats posted a 48.25. the second
best score in school history.

“l‘m elated with our vaulting," UK coach
Leah Little said. “We‘re a great vaulting team.“

The team was not so great, however, on the uneven
bars and balance beam. UK had three falls on each
event and fell too far behind to catch the consistent

 

and deep Crimson Tide (3-1, 2-0).

“Last week we made performance errors," Little said.
“Tonight we made mental errors."

‘Barna got a strong perfomiance from Willard. The
freshman had a 9.825 on vault and 9.755 on bars and
floor to finish with a 38.45 all-around score.

On the other side, Ewing continued to shine. finish-
ing fourth in the all-around with a 37.875. Suzanne Gu-
tierrez put up a 9.525 on beam, tops on the team, while
freshman Kristy Toups contributed a 9.65 on vault.

The Cats‘ 188.325 was nearly four points
higher than their score against Florida last week
and more than 13 points better than the first
meet of the season against Utah State.

“The kids get up for better competition,“ Lit-
tle said. “I see some teams that we should blow
out, and we fall all over the place. When they
know they have to come out with
