Some newly elected senators
consider impeaching president

 

By Brian Bennett
Senior Staff Writer

 

T.A. Jones had been named
1994-95 Student Government As-
sociation president for just a few
nninutes when the rumors began to
fly.

Some newly elected senators,
many of whom were miffed at the
presidential outcome, began tossing
around a political hand grenade -—
the possibility of immediately inn-
peaching Jones.

But Jones said yesterday that he
isn’t worried about being rebuked
before he even gets comfortable in
his new position.

“Everyone was just a little upset
because I won. It was such a big
shock," Jones said. "I think every‘

one will cool down. In fact. I'm
sure they will."

Recent relationships between
the Senate arnd the president have
bordered on the tempestuous, and
Jones may face a certain inherent
amount of ill will since he is both
an SGA outsider and a non-greek.
Yet he is confident he can smooth
out any differences that come
along.

“I have great faith in (the sena-
tors)," the fifth-year architecture
student said. “They wouldn‘t be
doing it if they weren't serious
about serving the students. I think
that when they see how I'm run-
ning the show, they'll see that they
have their hand in it as much as I
do.

“I want to have a new and im-

Plan could change
greek party rules

 

By Kate Campbell
Contributing Writer

 

The Interfratemity and Panhel-
lenic councils have developed a
new policy to co-sponsor fraternity
and sorority parties this fall, greek
officials say.

The joint policy includes provi-
sions to distribute alcohol only to
partygoers wearing wrist bands af-
ter they have been checked off a
guest list. Guests younger than 18
would be banned.

But the plan, which is part of the
latest revision of the IFC’s Risk
Management plan, may meet oppo-
sition when it reaches the final
vote.

“I believe that the sororities will
have no problem in passing these,
but the fraternities will," said Grant
Vorhauer, IFC executive vice pres-
ident and co-chairman of risk man-
agement task force.

Some greek members say a ma-
jor obstacle to the proposal is an
unwillingness of many fraternities
and sororities to change.

“I think some of these changes
are good, but I don't think most

people want change," said Julie
Meecham, a member of the Alpha
Gamma Delta social sorority in re-
sponse to the new plan.

In addition to enforcement of
guest lists, the plan calls for party-
goers 21 and older to wear wrist-
bands.

A policy change regarding the
distribution of alcohol also is under
consideration. There are two possi-
bilities. The first is a “bring your
own bottle" approach, under which
individuals would bring their own
alcohol.

The alcohol would be turned
over to greek officials as the guest
enters the party, and then it would
be redistributed to that individual
over the course of the night, as
long as he or she is of legal drink—
ing age.

The second option would be to
hire a vendor to set up a bar at the
function, serving only those 21 and
older.

Fraternity parties that feature a
different drink in each room, called
“around the world” parties, would
be banned.

Enemies say Nixon
was flawed, ‘great’

 

By Donald M. Rothberg
Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Like many
politicians, Richard M. Nixon had
enemies. But he kept a list.

Compiled by White House aides,
the Nixon Enemies List included
people as different in their politics
and lifestyles as Alabama Gov.
George Wallace and actress Jane
Fonda It also numbered members
of Congress, journalists, and lead-
ers from academia, business arnd la-
bor

Until John W. Dean IV, Nixon's
counsel, told the Senate Watergate
Committee about the list, the peo-
ple on it didn't krnow it existed.

Manny of them now remember
the fornner president, as a flawed
nnan. But as his death Friday
placed Nixon in the headlines once

 
 

again, some others said they be-
lieve his achievements will ulti-
mately outweigh his defects.

“Watergate was horrible," said
Leonard Woodcock, who made the
list when he was president of the
United Auto Workers Union. “But
the mishandling of it by the White
House was what astonished me."

But for all that, said Woodcock,
“in the last several years, while he
was still living, people were chang-
ing their view and forgetting what
they looked upon as the bad side
and remembering the positive
things."

Evern before he ran against Nixon
in 1972, George McGovern was on
the list.

McGovern said he thought it “a
little risky" to try to evaluate Nix-
on’s place in history. The Water-

proved working relationship with
the Senate."

Pan of the groundwork will be
laid this week as Jones will be
sworn in, atternd his first Senate
meeting on Wednesday and begin
to choose his executive cabinet.

That executive cabinet will be a
qualified and diverse one, Jones
promises. Jones plans to continue
his “New Spirit“ campaign —
which garnered him a broad-based
coalition of student support during
the election — into the cabinet se-
lection process.

Jones said he will consider peo-
ple already working in SGA, as
well as the other candidates who
ran for president and vice president,
especially Mark Engstrom and Mis-
ty Weaver.

“It's not going to be just a pay-
off,” Jones said of his cabinet posi-
tions. “If someone's qualified.
they‘ll be considered.“

The Charleston, SC. native

 
 

Jones anxious to start work

wants to implement some of his
ideas right away. Through vice
president Benny Ray Bailey, whose
father is a state senator, the new
president will try to set up a meet-
ing with Gov. Brereton Jones arnd
lobby for two more student seats on
the Board of Trustees, including a
community college student repre-
sentative.

Jones also plans to establish an
SGA phone line that will contain a
calendar of student organization
events. And in to keep in touch
with his constituency, Jones will
stage his version of the Fireside
Chats with a weekly Sunday call-in
show on WRFL from noon to 1
pm.

The new president will move into
the SGA office this week. Make
that office/studio, as Jones plans to
bring his architectural tools with
him.

“I'll be spending a great deal of
time down there," he said.

Four students
from S. Africa
to cast ballots

 

By Mike McClain
Contributing Writer

 

Four UK students from South
Africa will depart for Atlanta to-
day to take part in history. They
plan to cast ballots in their
homeland‘s first-ever multira-
cial election.

Tomorrow‘s presidential elec-
tion did not come about without
a struggle. Thousands of black
and white South Africans have
lost their lives fighting to de-
molish the racially exclusive po-
litical structure there.

The policy of apartheid in
South Africa has long been held
in contempt on the world stage.
The white-led government, de-
spite the divestrrnent arnd trade
sanctions imposed during the
Carter and Reagan eras, only re—
cently has shown a commitment
to changing the status quo.

This new, conciliatory spirit
begs the question, “Why now?"

Martin Bosman, one of the
South African students making
the trek to Atlanta, says South

African President F.W. De
Klerk simply bowed to the inev-
itability social change.

Historic election
begins tomorrow

 

By Ted Anthony
Associated Press

 

PHILADELPHIA — Far from
Johannesburg's turmoil, on a
lush college campus, a young
South African woman is prepar-
ing to do something her skin col-
or denied her until now: vote.

It is an experience Tselane Mo-
kuena has craved for years —
and one she wonders if Ameri-
cans appreciate.

“I really think Americans take
their rights for granted. They
don't know what it means not to
have a vote," said Mokuena, 28,
a social work student at Bryn
Mawr College. “It’s like people
in the United States have lost
hope.“

For her, hope endures. Now
years of it are coming to fruition
for the estimated half-million
South Africans living abroad. To-
morrow is the start of their na-
tion's first multiracial elections,
which run through Thursday in
South Africa. US. voting will be
limited to tomorrow.

 

out of power, arnd in doing this,
also negotiated a position of
power for whites in the new
South African government,"
Bosman said.

“It was a simple choice. He
chose integration over disintegra-
tion."

Bosman compared De Klerk to
the former president of the now-
dismantled Soviet Union, Mi-
khail Gorbachev. Gorbachev saw
that his Communist government
was in the preliminary stages of
dissolution, Bosman said. So be
decided to reign over the chaos
rather than watch passively.

De Klerk. a gifted politician.
also saw the writing on the wall,
Bosman said.

Bosman, a member of the
Xhosa tribe, says the people of
South Africa have united to de-
feat a common enemy despite
the agendas of various black fac-
tions, the largest of which are the
African National Congress, led
by Nelson Mandela, and the In-
katha Freedom Party. A silent
ideological war over the direc-
tion of black activism has raged
between the two groups for more

The South African government
has set up polls at 21 locations
across the United States. enfran-
chisirng anyone older than 18
who has a South African pass-
port.

“This is a first, and we are try-
ing to make sure it goes as
smoothly as possible," said Ste-
phen Grundlingh, South African
consul in New York City.

Estimates of the number of
South Africans in the United
States range from 10,000 to
200,000.

“They have been a critical part
of this change. To deny them this
opportunity would be a very trag-
ic thing to do," said Joshua Ru-
bongoya, an assistant professor
of international relations at Roa-
noke College in Salem. Va.

The secret paper ballots bear
candidates‘ photos and party lo-
gos — from the African National
Congress and the National Party
to the “Keep It Straight and Sim-

So. you're Jenny Hansen. arnd
you‘ve just won your second corn-
secutive gymnastics rnational title.
What do you do now? Go to Dis-
neyworld?

“We‘re going skiing,“ Hansen
said yesterday in a telephone inter-
view from Salt Lake City. “This
has been a long year. and I'm ready
to just have some fun."

After winning the all-around
competition Thursday night in Salt
Lake City, Hansen worn two more
titles Saturday on the vault lid bal-
ance beam. She averaged a 9.9375
orntwovaultsanda9.9750nthe
balance beam.

Hansen has had a long. grueling
year. After wirnning the 1993 na-
tional title with few expeaations

 

hadtheyearbefore.
“Ihdaiotofpressuefrundif-

l-

ferent places." Hansen said. “I
wasn't going out for the fun of it. I
felt like I had to do it. Later in the
year, I was not caring about scores
as much as l was the fun part of it."

Hansen finished the year with a
flurry. She won the NCAA South-
east Regional with near perfection
before heading to nationals. Still,
Hansen felt the heat before winning
her second title.

“I was nervous because I didn't
want to let anyone down," she said.
“I ptnt so much pressure on my-
self."

Going into the final two events,
Hansen had plenty of pressure on
her. She needed to average 9.9 on
the balance bean and the floor ex-
ercise to win the title.

“I didn‘t know what I needed to
get, and that probably helped me
out," Hansen said.

Fellow Gym Cat Robin Ewing
placed 39th irn the champiornships.

on bus. Ewing. who finished with
a 37.650 overall. said she is ready

for the season to be over.

“Much more of that. and I'd be
in a walker," Ewing said. referring
to the yearlong pounding she has
put on her body.

At the start of the season, Ewing
had a goal of reaching nationals.
Now that's she’s reached tlunt pla-
teau, she's ready for a new chal~
lenge.

“I want to get back here arnd im-
prove individually." she said. “I
would like to finish in the Top 16
next yes." The Top 16 all-
arounders are classified as All-
Americans by the NCAA.

Ewing, a freshman. enjoyed per-
forming in the long shadow cast by
Hansen.

“There wasn't any pressure on
me this yet," Ewing said. “I
didn‘t have to worry about answer-
ing many questions like Jenny
does. They just hound her.”

As for Hansen, next season prob-
ably will test her consistency a

QB situation still in limbo

Curry remains
undecided, but
Speedy in first

 

By Doc Purcell

Entering Saturday's Blue-White
scrimmage, the battle for the UK
football team's top quarterback
spot was wrought with question

And at the conclusion of the ac-
tion, little had changed, leaving
Wildcat head coach Bill Curry all
summer to ponder the answers.

“(The quarterback battle) is
cloudy in terms of who will be
ready come August," he said.

“I don‘t know the answer to
that"

With incumbent starter Pookie
Jones considering concentrating
on a pro baseball career and ulti-
mately ending his run with the UK
football program, the Cats signal-
caller race has four chief contend-
ers.

But, according to Curry, none
made a strong case for the starting
job during the weekend’s contest,
a $942 defensive victory, scored
by way of a complicated system
devised by the Wildcat coaching

staff.

Here's a brief summary of the
candidates and their performances:

~Redshirt sophomore Jeff
Speedy, a Franklin Tenn., native,
entered Saturday's match-up sit-
ting atop the depth chart at the
quarterback slot, and he continues
to hold that sought-after position.
Before being the victim of a brutal
hit by free-safety Melvin Johnson
in the second quarter, Speedy
completed four of his six pass at-
tempts for a miniscule 31 yards
and tossed one interception.

While his passing stats weren’t
overly impressive, he was a bit
more productive on the ground,
rushing six times for a total of 40
yards.

-Redshirt freshman Matt Hob-
bie, who is currently holding down
theAback-up role, seemed to make
little progress in his bid for the top
spot during the scrimmage as he
turned in passing and rushing stats
that were mediocre at best.

He completed 50 percent of his
pass attempts (10 of 20) but only
for 33 yards, while rushing nine
times for 40 yards.

Those stats, coupled with three
interceptions, made for a less-
than-desirable outing.

oRedshirt freshman Billy Jack
Haskins stands third among the
Cats’ quarterback hopefuls, but his
stats didn't reflect it.

Trumbo tricky

 

By Brett Dawson

Troy Tmrnbo could do without
the first few months of the base-
ball season.

Trumbo, who pitched masterful-
ly down the stretch last season,
was back to his old tricks yester-
day in pitching a gem to give UK
(23-18, 6-7 Southeastern Confer-
ence) a 6-1 win
over Florida (28-
15, 11-3). "

it was the Wild-
cats' second
straight win over
the Gators after
dropping the
opening game of
the three-game se-
ries 15-6 on Fri-
day. The Cats
beat UF 11-5 Sat- '
urday afternoon.

Trumbo pitched
his first career
complete game,
giving up eight ,
hits and striking
out seven to move
his record to 2—4.

home run from catcher Brad Hin-
dersman.

UK leftfielder Chad Green,
known more for the speed of his
feet than that of his stick prior to
this weekend, hit a two-run shot in
the fifth, his second home run in
as many days.

After Jeff Abbott walked on
four pitches, third baseman Chris
Gomalez hit a mammoth two-run
dinger to left to
cap off a four-run
UK inning.

The homer was
Gonzalez's third
in two games and
his 13th of the
season.

Florida’s Chan
Perry led off the
top of the seventh
with a long home
run to left off
Trumbo. Perry’s
seventh homer of
the year out the

terday’s game.
The first two
games of the se-
ries had been marred by 13 errors
between the two teams.

The Gators didn’t make an error
yesterday, and the onlv UK mis-
cue, second baseman Chip Rhea’s
boot of a sharp grounder, turned
into an out as Rhea recovered and
fired to‘the plate to nail Florida’s
Brandon Marsters on his way to
home plate.

Though the defense was work-
ing, neither team could shift into
the high offensive gear each had
seen earlier in the series. UK
scored first on a first-inning solo

sacrifice fly, the
only run of the
game that didn't
score via the
home run.

Despite the long ball show, the
real story yesterday was Trumbo.
The sophomore, who was expect-
ed to be among the SEC’s finest
pitchers this season, entered the
game with an ERA of 6.92.

“My curveball was coming
along today, and my fastball, ve-
locity wise, was back," Tmmbo
said. “l just really felt great when l
was out there pitching today.”

Trumbo was spurred on by the
largest and most vocal UK home
crowd of the year, including a

SPEEDY DELIVERY: UK quarterback Jett Speedy leads the

tight race for the starting spot.

seven of his eight throws for 86
yards and one interception. He
made little impact on the ground,
however, running just one time for
no gain.

-Junior Eric Gray, a City Col-
lege of San Francisco transfer,
showed flashes of brilliance
throughout the game.

His stats help solidify the claim
that he has a rifle arm, completing

ing an 60 yard bomb to receiver
Donnie Redd. It was obvious that
Gray was unfamiliar with the sys-
tem, however, as 10 of his pass at-
tempts fell incomplete.

Curry said the winner of the
quarterback battle will hinge a
great deal upon who works hardest
this summer — a season that
should provide the answers the
coach is waiting for.

“I had butterflies at the begin-
ning, seeing everybody from my
hometown that l hadn‘t seen in a
while," Trumbo said. “After i got
the first inning over, I felt real
good.”

Trumbo walked only two and
worked out of several jams with
strikeouts. But perhaps the most
impressive statistic of the day was
his pitch count — only 102 pitches
in nine innings of work.

“This is the way Troy pitched
down the stretch last year,” UK
head coach Keith Madison said.
“We’ve been patient with him and
hoping that he'd do the same
thing, and he’s been gradually do-
ing that over the last two or three
weeks."
