CELEBRATING 36 YEARS OF INDEPENDENCE

 

Former auditor sues UK, alleging wrongful firing

By Alice Nomad

ahaymond®kykernelcom

A former UK auditor and adjunct
accounting professor filed a lawsuit
Nov. 5 alleging that his supervisor and
UK violated whistle-blower laws and
wrongfully terminated him because he
reported acts relating to mismanage~
ment.

According to the lawsuit, former in-
ternal auditor Dan Ross noticed unethi-
cal procedures and possible state law

violations in connection with an audit
of UK‘s Bucks for Brains fund. an in-
vestigation of UK's checking account.
an investigation of Auxiliary Services
Stores and Computer Stores. and an au-
dit of purchases on UK’s procurement
card. which departments can use for
small expenses.

The suit states that Ross reported
his concerns to his immediate supervi-
sor. internal audit department director
Joseph Reed. and brought the same
charges to state officials a year and a

half later after being dissatisfied with
UK’s handling of them. He was termi-
nated 15 days later. according to the
lawsuit.

Ross has sued UK and Reed on a
total of three counts. The first count.
against both UK and Reed. is violation
of the state‘s whistle-blower statute.
which prevents any employer from us-
ing official authority to deter an em-
ployee from reporting any information
to the state about suspected misman-
agement. waste. fraud. abuse of author-

ity. or a substantial danger to public
health or safety.

The second count. against UK. is
wrongful termination. The third. against
Reed. is intentional infliction of emo-
tional distress.

UK spokesman Jay Blanton said it
is UK‘s policy not to comment on
pending litigation.

Ross. a resident of Winchester, Ky..
began working as a part-time professor
at UK in 1996. As he continued teaching
at UK. he began working in the internal

audit department in 2004 and became
the audit manager from September 2006
until his temiination on Aug. 24. 2007.
Ross reported his concerns about
potential ethical and legal violations to
Reed on Feb. 26. 2006. the lawsuit
states. The following day. Ross told
Reed that he believed the department
“was becoming a farce." according to
the lawsuit. but for fear of losing his
job. he would not report his concerns to

Event aims to
'break silence'
about death
at Georgetown

By Rebecca Sweeney

news@kykarnel.com

A sorority on campus is challenging stu—
dents to take part in social action and become
informed about what‘s going on in the world.
Tonight. it's talking about a local controversial
incident.

The Mu Epsilon chapter of Delta Sigma
Theta Sorority lnc. will be hosting “Break the
Silence: What happened to Remy Okonkwo?"
as part of the “Talk with ME" series tonight at
6:30 in the Center Theater at the Student Center.

After Okonkwo was found hanging in the
Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity house at George-
town College in Georgetown. Ky.. on March
31. his death was ruled a suicide. But his moth-
er. Joyce Bell-Murphy. believes her son. who is
of Nigerian descent. was killed. harassed or
threatened into suicide. according to an Associ-
ated Press report. The Kentucky Commission
on Human Rights requested in September that
the FBI further investigate the death.

At “Break the Silence." Murphy and Patrice
K. Muhammad. co-founder and editor of The
Key Newsjoumal. a newspaper that focuses on
the black community in Central Kentucky. Will
be discussing Okonkwo‘s death in detail. said
Keisha Hilson. president of the Mu Epsilon
chapter of Delta Sigma Theta.

"Whether this incident was a suicide or not.
I feel that students forget that things happen.
and the fact that this was so close to home is a
wake-up call." Hilson said.

“With the events that have been happening
around the world. the Mu Epsilon chapter here
at UK decided that we would initiate a social—
action series to talk about events that. as a cam-
pus community. we usually would not think to
talk about." she said.

The sorority is trying to disprove the myth
that college students are apathetic and oblivious
to the world around them. Hilson said. The
“Talk with ME" series is in its beginning stages.
she said.

The first installment of the series was a fo-
rum and demonstration on Sept. 20 to raise
awareness about the Jena 6. an incident where
six young black men were arrested on charges
of beating a white student in Jena. La. Many
said the charges. ranging from seconddegree
assault to attempted murder. were too severe
and racially motivated.

Those who attend the second installment.
tonight‘s "Break the Silence" event. should ex-
pect a thought-provoking night that will chal-
lenge them to think critically about the situation
and the people involved. Hilson said.

The office will be on the South Limestone

PTS had been thinking about moving from

“The new (parking) structure will elimi-
nate patient/visitor problems and better ac-

UK Hoops survives second-half comeback

d...

Mgflonninfion

sports®kykemelcom

Despite abysmal shooting
and poor offensive decision-
making. the UK women's bas-
ketball team held on to defeat
Florida Atlantic. 61-53. in front
tit—1.875 fans at Memorial Coli-
seum to gain its second victory
of the season.

“When you shoot as poorly
as we did today. it really wears
on you.“ UK head coach
Matthew Mitchell said. “That's
why I'm proud of our players
for winning today."

The Cats (2-1) held a 35-23
lead going into halftime.
Through the first 20 minutes of
play. UK shot 41 percent from
the field and seemed to be in
control of the game.

The Cats expanded their
lead to 38—23 in the opening
minutes of the second half. But
the Owls (1-2) took advantage
of poor UK shooting to stage a

comeback. Florida Atlantic went
on a 17-7 run over the next 12
minutes to climb within 5 points
of UK at 45—40.

“I really felt us believing
that we could win the game at
that point." said Florida Atlantic
head coach Chancellor Dugan.
“I felt like the players thought
they could play with Kentucky.
but I didn‘t get the feeling that
they thought they could win un-
til we came within 5 points."

However. Dugan's squad
could not get any closer. Al-
though the Cats shot only 12
percent in the final 20 minutes.
they made 20-of-33 second-half
free throws to cement the pro-
gram‘s second win during
Mitchell's tenure as head coach.

UK shot 28.8 percent from
the field for the game and 62.5
percent from the free-throw line.

“I‘m a pretty optimistic guy.
so I‘m glad because we certainly
could‘ve lost this game."
Mitchell said. “1 don‘t think I've

ever won a game where the
team shoots below 30 percent.
We‘re glad we won."

Senior guard Samantha Ma-
honey led the Cats with 19
points and was the only UK
player to score more than 9
points.

“I knew we needed to stop
their run somehow." Mahoney
said. “I tried to do whatever I
could to get us a basket and just
stop the run."

Freshman forward Victoria
Dunlap. who has started all
three games this season. added 9
points and 13 rebounds. Dunlap
also gave the Cats a spark on
defense. providing a block and
two steals.

“Thank goodness for Dunlap
on the boards." Mitchell said.
“She made some very key stops
when we weren‘t playing that
well offensively."

Florida Atlantic‘s offense
was front-lined by freshman for-
ward Jaimie Givens‘ 13 points

and 15 rebounds. Givens. who
now has two double-doubles in
her first three collegiate games.
had a breakout game Sunday in
Memorial Coliseum -_ where
her father. Jack “Goose" Givens.
played some of his home games
as a member of the UK men's
basketball team from 1974 to
1978.

"Jaimie is a good player."
Mitchell said. “1 know her dad
was proud of her today. 1 was
really glad to have this game be—
hind us so we can root for
Jaimie Givens from here on out
because we weren‘t rooting for
her today."

Mahoney said the (‘ats were
fortunate to come away with a
win after shooting so poorly. and
that they know what they have
to improve on to keep winning.

“We didn‘t play well. didn‘t
shoot well. and we didn‘t defend
well," Mahoney said. "But we
stuck together at the end and
came away with the win."

 

Loss makes Senior Day Vital to salvage season

ATHENS. Ga. — Georgia had its Se-
nior Day on Saturday. UK will have its
send-off on Saturday against Tennessee.

Senior Day is ob-
viously special be-
cause it means some
of the players will nev-
er play at home again.

This year‘s Senior
Day at UK will be un-
like any previous one.

The Cats will have
a chance to end col-
lege football’s longest
losing streak against
one team. If UK wins.
they‘ll end 22 years of
futility and frustration
against Tennessee.

But that‘s not why this is a huge game
for UK. It‘s a huge game for the Cats be-
cause they now have to win to save what
appeared just a few weeks ago to be one of
the finest seasons in UK history.

The Cats started the season 5-0 with
huge wins over Louisville and Arkansas.
Since then. they‘ve lost four out of six. in-
cluding Saturday‘s disappointing 24-13 loss
to Georgia at Sanford Stadium.

That losing streak is a bit deceiving —
they did play four ranked teams. and one of
the wins was against No. 1 Louisiana State
—— but after the Cats beat the Tigers. they
were thinking about getting to the South-
eastern Conference championship game. not

just sneaking into a bowl game.

The season’s health was deteriorating
then. Now it's on life support.

“Everything we fought for it seems like
right now is going down the drain." senior
quarterback Andre Woodson said.

The Cats had a chance to save their sea-
son against Georgia. Instead. they beat
themselves.

The Cats were good enough on defense
to force four Bulldog turnovers. They were
bad enough on offense to turn those
turnovers into just 3 points.

“It's awful." UK head coach Rich
Brooks said. “It’s very poor. sudden change
of execution with our offense. To get no
more than 3 points when you take it away
four times is not very good."

Brooks isn‘t telling the whole story.
though. The offense wasn‘t just bad after
Georgia had coughed it up. They were bad
the entire game. especially in the fourth
quarter.

Trailing 21—13 early in the final quarter.
UK put together a nice drive to get down to
the Georgia 21-yard line. It looked even
better when Woodson found senior wide re—
ceiver Keenan Burton for a 9-yard gain. But
that play was brought back on a holding
penalty. A snap infraction on the next play
moved the ball back 5 more yards. A sack
of Woodson on the following play took it
back another 5 yards.

So instead of second—and—short inside
the Georgia 15-yard line. UK was faced

with a second-and-27 on the 38—yard line.

After Burton took a screen pass 23
yards on the next play. Woodson was
sacked on third-and-four for a loss of 18
yards. Sophomore kicker Lones Seiber
missed a 51-yard field goal try on the next
play.

That drive all but ended UK‘s chances of
tying the game. The Cats were in that situa-
tion because they ran for only 29 yards on 29
carries and because Woodson missed open re«
ceivers on several occasions all game.

“We have done a good job of beating
ourselves." offensive coordinator Joker
Phillips said.

UK's senior class has been very special.
They've been through so much. both on
and off the field. and they deserve the suc—
cess they've achieved this year.

But how fondly they‘re remembered
could be determined this weekend. lf they
beat the Volunteers. they‘ll end the 22—game
losing streak. finish 8-4 and get in position
to play in a New Year‘s Day bowl. It would
be a great end to the season. and more im-
portantly. it will be a major step up from
last season.

After the LSU win. no one was thinking
about last year‘s Music City Bowl win. If L'K
loses to Tennessee. the Cats would only be
able to match last year‘s win total of eight.

With the way the season started. that
would be a major disappointment.

FOOTBALL

Continued from page A1

 

UK tallied 127 yards in the
first quarter. but the Bulldogs‘
defense — the fourth best in the
SEC — shut the Cats down for
the final three quarters.

UK managed just 21 offen-
sive yards in the second quarter
and only 150 for the rest of the
game.

“Something just wasn't in
sync for us all day long."
Brooks said of the offense. “We
didn‘t make the plays we have
been making. and they made the
plays they had to make."

Still. the Georgia offense
struggled to score. Stafford was
intercepted a second time — by
junior comerback Shomari

Moore « but again. UK could-
n't take advantage. The Cats
moved the ball just 19 yards be—
fore punting it away again.

Georgia took over with 5:06
left in the first half. and the of-
fense. which hung 45 points on
the SEC‘s top defense against
Auburn last week. came to life.
Moreno punched in a 1~yard
touchdown run with just 40 sec-
onds on the clock. and the Bull-
dogs trailed 10-7 at the half.

Georgia rallied in the second
half thanks to Moreno and se-
nior running back Thomas
Brown. The Bulldogs rushed for
109 yards in the second half and
added two more touchdowns to
earn the win. Moreno finished
with 124 yards on 22 carries.
and Brown added 78 yards on
22 carries.

Meanwhile. UK never estab-

lished a running attack A the
Cats gained just 29 rushing
yards on 29 carries for the game.

“They had a good defense.
and you can't stop a team with a
good defense (playing) like
that." said senior running back
Rafael Little.

UK had a chance to take a
two-possession lead on the open-
ing drive of the second half. but
the Cats couldn‘t move the foot—
ball. Georgia then blocked junior
Tim Masthay‘s punt and took
over possession at the UK 19-
yard line. Six plays later. the
Bulldogs took a 14-10 lead on a
l-yard Brown touchdown mn.

Down 21—13 in the fourth
quarter. UK moved the ball to
the 21-yard line in just six plays.
But two penalties and two sacks
pushed the Cats out of field goal
range. It was the last time the
