new baseball commissioner

arise. will be dealt with in light of
the circumstances at the time." he
said.

was to reveal that in memory of

Associated Press

MILWAUKEE ~ Fay Vincent
was elected baseball commissioner
yesterday. less than two weeks
after A. Bartlett Giamatti died of a
heart attack.

Vincent, 51. had been deputy
commissioner under Giamatti. His
election was recommended Tues~
day during a meeting of baseball‘s
executive council. which had been
running the sport since Giamatti's
death Sept. 1.

“I take this job. I do not replace
Bart. I know that this is not the
way to get this job," Vincent said
at a news conference.

Vincent, who was given the unof-
ficial title of acting commissioner
by the executive council on Sept. 2.
will serve the remaining 412 years
of Giamatti's term. through April
1. 1994. He is baseball‘s eighth
commissioner.

Vincent said Giamatti‘s estab—
lishment of a deputy commissioner
should make his transition to com-
missioner relatively smooth.

“I think Bart had it just right. I
think the transition ought to be rel-
atively seamless." Vincent said.
“There‘s very likely to be a deputy
commissioner. I don't have any
candidates in mind.“

Vincent. who headed baseball's
negotiations with Pete Rose. began
his professional career as a securi-
ties lawyer. worked briefly for the
Securities and Exchange Commis
sion and spent almost 10 years as
chief executive officer of Colombia
Pictures Industries Inc. He quickly
won the respect of baseball offi-
cials with his business and finan-
cial acumen and his quiet gentility.

Vincent refused to discuss his po-
sition on allowing Pete Rose to
apply for reinstatement after one
year of banishment from the game.

"That application.

black armbands at the World Se
ries and the balls used will carry
Giamatti's signature.

Some owners had expressed
thoughts of turning elsewhere for a
new commissioner. but the consen-
sus was that there could be no
delay because collective bagaining
negotiations with the Major League
Baseball Players Association start
after the World Series.

Thus. baseball owners again
chose a commissioner whose back-
ground is completely different
from his predecessor‘s. After Peter

Lohman vows to fight attempts
by state presidents to raise tuition

By MICHAEL L. JONES
Editorial Editor

Student Government President
Sean Lohman said last night that
SGA will fight any attempts by the
state’s eight university presidents
to raise tuition in the 1990-92
biennium.

Lohman said raising tuition
would be “the easy way out" for
university presidents.

“We will fight it," Lohman said
at last night’s meeting of the SGA
Senate. “We pay a high amount of
money for an education that is
ranked 48th in the country. "

Lohman said a tuition hike would
be unfair because of the high
prices most already pay for hous-
ing, books and other student fees.

“We will not pay for an educatio
nal system our legislature will not
pay for," he said.

Lohman recently was elected

secretary-treasurer of the Board of
Student Body Presidents.

He said that he and the other
seven student body presidents do
not want to fight the university
presidents in Frankfort during the
next meeting of the General As-
sembly because “that would make
higher education weaker. "

The SGA Senate unanimously
passed Lehman‘s budget that allo»
cated $2,300 for the UK lobby in
Frankfort. SGA's projected 1989—90
budget was $146,097.

In other action last night:

OThe Senate defeated a motion to
suspend its rules and add a bill
that would allocate $1,000 to send
20 students to the Oct. 7 Housing
Now March in Washington, DC.
The motion required a two-thirds
vote to pass and was three short of
whatwas needed.

The original bill asked to send
100 people to the march, but it was

tabled by a joint session of the Po-
litical Affairs and Appropriations
and Revenue committees

Senator at Large Chris Price pre-
sented the new bill Monday night
at an emergency meeting of the
Committee on Committees. but it
was tabled.

OThe Senate passed two constitu-
tional amendments sponsored by
Senator at Large Allen Putman.

The first would add the Fresh-
man Representative Council to
SGA‘s constitution and the second
deals with its membership. The
two amendments must be passed
twice to be adopted. and both will
be on the next Senate meeting's
agenda.

0Four bills sponsored by Lohman
were passed unanimously.

OThe Senate also passed a bill to
send Senator at Large Amy Butz to
a national conference on alcohol
abuse.

Officials say
10 miners die
in explosion

By PAUL DE LA GARZA
Associated Press

WHEATCROF'I‘. Ky. -~ A flash
fire killed 10 miners as they dis-
mantled a large piece of machin«
ery inside a Western Kentucky coal
mine yesterday in the nation‘s
worst mining disaster in nearly
five years. federal mining officials
said.

“There's an indication that some
of them had survived the initial ex-
plosion and succumbed to the
smoke and dust.“ said Charles
Schulties, president of the mines
parent company, Costain Coal Inc.

There were conflicting reports of
the number of miners injured in
the methane gas fire. Schulties told
a news conference about SIX hours
after the 9:30 am. CDT fire that no
miners had suffered injuries.

The Kentucky State Police and
the federal Mine Safety and Health
Administration reported three min-
ers had been injured. A document
the company submitted to state of-
ficials included the names of two
miners who were listed as injured

The accident at Costain's I’yro
Mining (‘0. Williams Station Mine
claimed the highest death toll since
1984 when 27 miners died in a Utah
coal mine. according to Frank
O‘Gorman, an MSHA spokesman

“We had an ignition. apparently
near the head gate of a longwall
mining machine that was being dis-
mantled to be moved.” ()‘Gorman
said.

Stage combat class teaches UK students the art of fighting

B) JAMES A. STOLL
Senior Staff Writer

“I pray thee, good Mercutio, let's
rntire. The day is hot, the Capulets
abroad, and if we meet we shall
not 'scape a brawl, for now these
hat days is the mad blood
stirring."

Benvolio
"Romeo and Juliet"
Act Ill, Scene 1

Errol Flynn, John Wayne and
William Shakespeare had to start
somewhere. Before they could
swashbuckle their way across
stage or screen, or pummel an op-
posing cowpoke into the sunset.
they had to study the ins. outs,
thrusts and jabs of stage combat.

For the next generation of
heroes, the UK theater department
now offers a course in theatrical
combat that is open to majors and
non‘majors alike.

The class is called Stage Combat.
and will be taught by Bruce Le~

cure. a new face in the theater de-
partment. After receiving his mas-
ter’s degree in acting from
Southern Methodist University, he-
cure spent a few years plying his
trade in New York and Dallas be-
fore coming to UK.

In 19% Lecure attended a
workshop with the Society of Amer-
ican Fight Directors in Las Vegas,
Nev. At the workshop he received
training in five different stage
weapons and achieved certification
as an “actor-combatant. "

In 1985, while in New York, Le-
cure worked with a fight company
that called itself “Steel" and re-
hearsed nothing but stage combat.
The company eventually per-
formed an off-broadway evening of
combat scenes.

After such extensive work in the
field, Lecure says he feels qualified
to teach combat techniques He
said he will divide the class into
three areas of study.

semester will be tumbling and
hand-to-hand," Lecure said.

The initial tumbling techniques
will teach students to take falls
onstage without injury. Only then
will the class move on to hand-to-
hand combat techniques, much like
the barroom brawls of the old
Westerns or the classic Clint
Eastwood fist fights.

Lecure said he wants the class to
be safe and not result in any inju—
ries became of over-eager or un-
dertrained combatants.

The main weapons Lecure said
he will use will be the rapier and
dagger. Other weapons also could
be taught. including the quarter-
staff and broadsword. However,
Lecure said it is unlikely that a
great deal of weapons work will be
done in the first stage combat
class.

“Depending on how advanced
they are, I'd like to do the weapons
as soon as I can,“ he said, “but
that will be definitely toward the
end of the semester.”

For those Errol Flynn types in-
terested in advanced work in weap-
ons, Lecure said he hopes to offer a
class devoted specifically to that
sort of training.

“Depending on the interest,
weapons could be more of a class
later on down the line," Lecure
said. “But you can’t do that until
you’ve had the hand-to-hand
class."

It has been so long since stage
combat has been offered at UK
that the course has been dropped

from this year’s Univerity’s bul-
letin.

In previous bulletins. the class
had both a prerequisite and re-
quired the consent of the instruc-
tor, but Lecure has decided to do
away with both requirements in
hopes of encouraging a larger vari-
ety of students to try the course.

“We want to open it up to anyone
in the student body." Lecure said.
“I start at ground zero anvwav. "

Lecure said he also is trying to
get the physical education depart-

ment to allow the class to fill an
elective for physical education ma-
Jors.

This semester Lecure also tea-
ches theater movement, which is
an introduction to three different
movement techniques The class
includes some stage combat work,
but it is not a prerequisite to regis-
ter for next semester’s class.

In theater movement, students
create their own movements and
study a variety of different styles
throughout the semester.

State ACT scores drop for second year

Associated Press
and Staff reports

FRANKFORT, Ky. —— Declines in
Kentucky’s American College Test
scores dropped even faster than
the national average last year, but
state school Superintendent John
Brock still found some bright spots
in the statistics.

The drop in Kentucky students‘
ACT scores is “not what we would
like to have happen,” Brock said.
But he added Tuesday that consid-
ering all the factors that can influ-
ence test results, “we believe Ken-
tucky students overall turned in a
solid performance," he said.

Brock made the remarks after
the state Department of Education
announced that the average com-
posite scores on the ACT among
Kentucky students fell four-tenths
of a point, from 18.2 in 1988 to 17.8
in 1989. The drop outpaced a de-
cline in the national average,
which fell from 18.8 to 18.6.

The test, used to predict success
in college, measures student per-
formance on a composite scale of 1
to 36.

Although the average ACT score
in UK’s freshman class is 22.5, Jo-
seph Fink of the UK admissions of-

fice said the University is con-
cerned by the state’s decrease.

“To see a four-tenths drop in
Kentucky and a two~tenths drop na-
tionwide is a substatnial change.
What concerns us is the direction
of the change,“ Fink said.

To ensure that the state’s ACT
scores improve, Fink said he
thinks there need to be more work
done at the secondary level.

“We in the admissions office en-
courage high school students to
take the most rigorous high school
courses because that will cause the
ACT scores to go up,“ he said.

One bright spot for the state was
that Kentucky students‘ English
scores were only one-tenth of a
point behind the national score,
Brock said.

Another encouraging sign was
that Kentucky students‘ overall
score equaled the average for the
ACT‘s nine-state Southeast region,
he said.

The ACT reported that 25,547 stu-
dents in Kentucky‘s 1989 high

school graduating class took the
test.

However, Brock said the fact
that scores declined for a second
year in Kentucky was “a red flag. "

“If that were to continue. then I

think we’d be very concerned about
it,“hesaid.

Kentucky‘s scores lagged behind
the national averages in all four
test areas —— English, math, social
studies and natural sciences — and
trailed the regional averages in
math and social studies the ACT
report showed.

The results also showed the
state's average scores in all four
subject areas fell for both male
and female students between 1988
and 1989.

In addition, the high school grade
averages that Kentucky students
reported on the test registration
form also fell slightly for both
sexes, according to the results.
This year’s Kentucky grade aver-
ages for ACT test-takers were 2.85
overall, compared with a 2.9 na-
tional average. Kentucky‘s grade
averages were 2.9 for women and
2.77 for men.

“Clearly we can do better, and
we’ve got to start early," said
Cindy Heine, associate executive
director of the Prichard Committee
for Academic Excellence, 3 citi-

zens‘ group formed to help reform
Kentucky 's schools.

Heine said the test results were
discouraging.

Meanwhile, the scores of Ken-
tucky students improved on the
Scholastic Aptitude Test — a col-
lege admission test taken by only
10 percent of the state‘s high school
graduates.

Scores in the state were up by an
average of two points on the verbal
section and four points on the math
section. Nationally, the verbal
scores fell one point and the math
score remained unchanged.

In Kentucky, the average verbal
score this year was 477 — 50 pomts
above the national average v and
the math score was 519 — 43 points
above the national figure.

The SAT results are “a solid indi-
cator that our best students are
continuing to be well prepared for
college,“ Brock said.

Kentucky‘s SAT scores were
above the national averages chiefly
because only the best college—bound
students take the test, while most
students take the SAT in many
states, Brock said.

Renovation of Shively Field a throwback to old ballparks

Commonwealth Stadium was an
improvement over Stoll Field. ca»
pacity-wise, but it lost the tradition
that the first site of a football game
in the South had.

Rupp Arena was the largest
arena built primarily for basket-
ball. But the house named after the
"man in the brown suit“ didn't
have the intimacy of Memorial (‘ol—
iseum — “the house that Rupp
built.“ Memorial Coliseum. in its
heyday. commanded the adrena~
line of everyone who walked
through its silver doors.

Tuesday was groundbreaking for
a 2.500—seat renovation of Shively
Field — home of the UK baseball
team. The groundbreaking not only
broke a barrier which has prevent-
ed the Bat Cats from drawing large
crowds. it also broke the trend that
a more modern stadium is better.

All the old arenas are known as

much for their idiosyncrasies as
the events that took place in them.

The Coliseum was the home of
two national championship teams
and the practice site for another.

Since the Coliseum didn't have
stands at the south end. Rupp
forced opponents to shoot into the
crowd at the north end during the
second half.

The Coliseum still has a
scoreboard capable only of display-
ing 99 points. After the 1952—53 sus-
pended season, rumors swirled that
Rupp was to have modernized the

scoreboard so that no one could ac-
cuse the Cats of shaving points.

Stoll Field, just across Euclid
Avenue from the Coliseum. was the
home of the Wildcats' only team to
win the Southeastern Conference
crown and go to the Sugar Bowl
(which was played at Tulane-Sugar
Bowl Stadium. a magnificent his-
torical field of the past sacrificed
for a dome). It also was the site of
UK's only victory over the Univer-
sity of Alabama in 1922.

Baseball's storied past is en-
riched by the abnormalities that
were characteristic of old ball-
parks. Some of those differences
are as legendary as the immortals
who graced their fields: the green
monster at Boston's Fenway Park,
the ivy-covered walls at Chicago’s

 

It is welcome to see UK avoid the generic
symmetrical baseball stadium that has become

too prevalent.

Wrigley Field and the short right
field fence at Ebbcts Field and old
Yankee Stadium.

These old athletic venues had
personality. They were not carbon
copies of other super stadiums.

The Coliseum's walls were made
of stone and brick. The siding and
Lexington Center emblem on the
walls of Rupp Arena pale in the
shadow of the Coliseum facade.

dium that has become too preva-
lent for the now-carpeted fields of
American baseball.

The renovation recognizes the
sad, but vital, business side of
baseball with the anachronistic ad-
dition of luxury boxes.

The look of an old ball yard ties
Shively Field into baseball’s tradi-
ton filled past. It is perfect impl-
mentation of Lexinton campus

call not to improve the University

by always building new facilities,
but by improving some of the old
ones.

The new field will not have the
tradition owned by a vintage ball
park, in the way that Gabby Hart-
nett's homer in the gloamin’ and
Milt Pappas’ near perfect no-hit
game in 1912 are remebered at the
comer of Clark Street and Addison
Avenue.

But the new Shively Field, off
Sports Center Road, will be a relief
from modern technology and a wel-
come return to the foundation
where teams had a true home field
advantage.
