Cheerleaders win
U.S. championship
second time running

By HEIDI PROBST
Staff Writer

Enthusiasm.

Who has it returning to school for
another semester of hard work‘.’

The UK cheerleaders do v after
winning the Division I-A
championship again.

The Wildcat cheerleaders won the
competition in San Diego for the sec-
ond year in a row. and third time in
four years.

“This is the first time any school
has ever done this,“ said T. Lynn
Williamson. UK cheerleader advis»
er.

According to Williamson. the com-
petition UK faced was not too diffi-
cult.

“Everyone would tell you it wasn‘t
close." Williamson said. “It was ob-
vious who would win from the
crowd’s reaction They gave a tre—
mendous reaction. showing they
liked the cheerleaders perfor-
mance."

In fact. UK was the only team to
receive a standing ovation. he said.

Barry Applegate. the male captain
of the squad. said he knew that UK
would win the competition.

“We were nervous. but pulled to-
gether and right after . . . there was
no question about winning it.“ Ap-
plegate said.

The cheerleaders could not rely on
experience to win the competition
because they are a relatively young
squad. losing eight cheerleaders to
graduation last year.

Williamson. however. said he
knew this year‘s squad was some»
thing special.

“I knew this year‘s squad was ex-
tremely talented." Williamson said.
“They have more finesse and gym-
nastics ability. but I'd say the big-
gest thing is cohesiveness. They get
along better than any other team
I‘ve ever seen."

The cheerleaders had two-aday
practices. a total of 6-8 hours. every
day except on Christmas and game
days.

Williamson said when this hap-
pens you expect the squad to becone
tired and irritable.

But that just wasn‘t the case. Wil—
liamson said. “They did a wonderful
job being cohesive. "

“How well we worked together
this last month is what got us
through it.” said Lori Gooch. the fe-
male captain of the team.

To get a spot in the competition.
the cheerleaders sent in a videotape
of a cheer. sideline chant and a fight
song. The tape also showed the
cheerleaders‘ relationship with their
home crowd to show what enthu-
siasm they could get from their rou-
tines. ‘I\velve schools were choosen
from 170 to compete in San Diego.

At the final competition the
cheerleaders were judged on a
three-segment routine —- a pyramid
sequence. tumbling and a series of
partner stunts.

Williamson described the best
quality of UK's routine as being “ex«
citing.“

According to Gooch. the routine
was choreographed by every mem-
ber on the team.

Last year. the cheerleaders‘ per-
formance was dedicated to former
cheerleader Dale Baldwin who suf-
fered an injury during a warm-up
routine that resulted in him becom-
ing a paraplegic.

Gooch said ”115 year‘s squad also
had Baldwin in the back of its mind.

"We definitely wanted to do it
(win) again for him." she said. “He
pulls us together and has put so
muchintoit.“

“I think they felt a certain obliga-
tion to him as he is coach this
year." Williamson said.

Cronkite finds himself
on other side of mike
during teleconference

By THOMAS J. SULLIVAN
News Editor

Viewers turned the tables on for-
mer CBS news anchor Walter Cron-
kite last night in a teleconference.
Instead of asking the questions. he
was answering them.

The teleconference. which was
sponsored by The Museum of Broad-
casting in cooperation with Merrill
Lynch, was titled “An Evening With
Walter Cronkite.“

A couple of UK students submitted
questions for the conference. which
was held at the WKYT television
studios on Winchester Road.

Cronkite. 61. answered questions
ranging from his experience to his
opinions to his predictions of nation-
al and world events.

Just as Will Rogers once said. “I
never met a man I didn’t like,“
Cronkite said that, in his years as a
journalist. “I never met anyone I
didn‘t like —— at least for a while.
anyway."

“There were so many of them
down through the years," he said.
The “many" people Cronkite has
met have ranged from the suddenly
famous to the leaders of the world.

Former presidents John F. Kenne-
dy. Richard Nixon. Gerald Ford.
Jimmy Carter and President Ronald
Reagan are among prominent per-
sons Cronkite has interviewed and
shared candid moments with.

Of all these presidents. Cronkite
said Carter was the most intellec-
tually stimulating.

“The best brain for my mind was
Jimmy Carter.“ he said. “It seemed
as if he was reading from a Tele-
Promp'I‘er (when Carter was an-
swering questions) It‘s a real
talent of an organized mind."

At the age of 12. Cronkite said. “I
wanted to he a newspaper man.“
and that goal never changed.

In his years of covering the world
as a journalist. Cronkite said his
most important story “in terms of

WALTER CRONKITE

history“ was man landing on the
moon.

“It transcended anything that‘s
ever happened before.“ he said.
Compared to that. “everything else
is an asterisk in history.“

But Cronkite said that the present
condition of the space program wor-
ries him.

"We‘re falling daily behind the
Soviets . . . satellites are deteriorat-
ing tin space) . . . I think we‘re in
bad shape. and the American public
doesn‘t ‘salize that.“

Cronkite said the American public
also doesn‘t realize the serious ethi-
cal questions that journalists face
every day.

“The general public out there
doesn‘t think too much about the
ethics of journalists." he said.

“I can‘t think of a day . . . that an
ethical question wasn‘t raised. That
is the reason I think journalism is a
profession and not a trade - be-
came we have an ethic.“

As far as journalism in the son,
Cronkite said he is "much happier
with what we’re seeing today. “

“And that’s the way itwas."

The Kentucky Theater — closed
since an Oct. 2 fire — will stay
closed for an indefinite period.

The theater was gutted by smoke

It has not opened due to lack of in-
surance and commitment on the
part of its owners. the Switow fami-
ly. said Fred Mills. manager of the
Kentucky.

“(Hopefully) the question of the
insurance will be settled within the
next two weeks.“ Mills said. “How-
ever, there is still some question as
to whether the Switow family will
open the theater again."

Mills said he has not been told di-

The Kentucky Theater. which suffered fire damage in October. is

still closed.

“Each side has been refuting the
others' figures — that‘s the sub
stance of the delay. As of last Mon-
day bids were still being worked
out."

Mills said if the Switow family de.
cides not to reopen the Kentucky
Theater the possibility of finding in-
vestors to keep it open will be en-
couraged.

"iThe Kentucky Theater) is prime
downtown property. It‘s in the cen-
ter of a city block and right next to
the Lexington-Fayette Government
Center. The city has a real interest
in seeing that it gets reopened." said
Mills.

Mills said his boss. Henry Snag.

director of the Kentucky Theater.
has received telephone calls. letters
and petitions from citizens and local
government pertaining to the re-
opening of the theater.

All that can be done for the Ken-
tucky Theater right now is to show
support and encouragement. Mills
said. If the Switow family decides
not to reopen it. potential investors
will see the support and reaction of
the community and hopefully take
an interest in the theater and see
what a good investment it would be.

“Lexington is unique to have a
theater of this type. it would be a
shame to lose this institution.“

competition.

Junior Mario Rincon. a transfer
student from Greenville Technical
Junior College in South Carolina.
downed three players ranked in the
nation‘s top 25 en route to the conso-

Florida.

Rincon defeated Ashley Rhoney of
the University of Southwest Louisia-
na 62. 44). Billy [Tribe of Louisiana
State 4-6. 64. 6~3 and Kent Kinnear
of Clemson. 7-6. 6-4

Rincon. who has compiled
match record this season.
downed Greg Failla from Long
Beach before being defeated in the
finals by Byron Black of No. 3
Southern California.

“We didn‘t expect him to be as
good as he is." [K coach Dennis
Emery said. "But once he got here
it was obvious. He's done as well as
we expected and better. ”

In the tournament's opening
round. Rincon went to the wire with
No. 6 UCLA's Pat Galbreath. who is
one of the nation's top 10 players.
Galbreath outlasted Rincon. howev-
er. 6-7, 6-2. 64.

Van Emburgh began the road back
from a broken thumb suffered ear-

Van Emburgh. now 14 for the sea-

top 20. downed UCLA‘s No. 1 player
Buff Farrow in the first round of the
Natioral Collegiate Tennis Classic at
Palm Springs, Calif. this weekend.

“Considering I broke my thumb
earlier this year. I think I’m doing
well." Van Emburgh said. “I'm
doing better. I still don't feel like
I‘m 100 percent though.“

Van Emburgh was stopped in the
second round by USC’s Eric Amend.
Amend was a 1984 Olympian and is
ranked among the nation‘s top 10
players this season.

“I just didn‘t play well and he
did.“ Van Emburgh said.

L'K junior Richard Benson upped
his season mark to 10—4 at the Na-
tional Collegiate Classic. Benson
downed UCLA‘s No. 2 player, Pat
Galbreath. 7-6. 7-5 in the tourna-
ment‘s first round.

In the second round, Andrew
Sznaider. the nation's second-ranked
player. outlasted Benson 7-6, 6~2.

Benson was ranked eighth at one
point last season but a shin injury
hampered his play and caused him
to disappear from the preseason
rankings.

"Those three could be played any
where.” Emery said of Rincon, Van
Emburgh and Benson. “We might
even end up rotating them."

As a doubles team, Benson and

the nation.

Douglas
convinces
in ‘Street’

By ERIK REECE
Arts Editor

With “Wall Street," director Oli-
ver Stone leaves behind the slaugh-
ter and carnage of “Platoon" and
“Salvador” for the emotional and fi-
nancial carnage found in cutthroat
individuals at the top of the stock
exchange.

in “Wall Street,“ all of the vio-
lence and moral ugliness that fills
Stone’s previous movies (also see
“Midnight Express") is buried
under the glitz of huge corporate of-
fices and high art. In “Wall Street,"
money talks, and Gordon Gekko is
its mouthpiece.

Gekko, played by Michael Doug-
las, is the [van Boesky figure who
makes his money the old fashion
way - he steals it. He is the modern
Machiavellian who has no sympathy
for the people he crushes. rationaliz-
ing that if they don‘t have the sense
to get out of his way, then he cannot
be held responsible.

His game is survival of the fittest
and he makes no qualms about it.
His byword is greed. He is out to de-
stroy what he sees as America‘s
most deadly myths — democracy
and love.

Charlie Sheen is Bud Fox, a wet-
behind-the—ears broker who tries for
59 days straight to get into Gekko's
office. He wants a shot at becoming
a “player." The criteria of a player
is one who makes $50 million, dates
Daryl Hannah and indulges in ex-
pensive home decorations.

When Gekko gives Fox his chance
at the big time, what Fox learns is
that to play Gekko‘s game, he must
plunge deeper into Gekko‘s illegal
schemes. As Fox's morals go, so
does his identity. Or so we are led to
believe.

PHOTO COURTESY OF TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX

Jharlie, left, and Martin Sheen play a father-son duo who don’t see eye-to-eye in“WaIl Street."

The antithesis to all of this is
Charlie Sheen‘s father, Martin
Sheen. who plays Bud Fox's father,
Carl Fox. Carl is a tough-talking
Blue Star airplane mechanic who
won‘t buy into Gekko‘s system. He
would rather make do on union
wages than fly on the coattails of
twisted capitalism.

Bud suggests to Gekko a takeover
of the faltering Blue Star which he
believes will benefit the workers as
well as netting himself and Gekko a
cool couple million. However. when
Bud learns that Gekko's plan is to
liquidate the company rather than
save it. the two engage in a destruc-
tive Wall Street bidding war that
yields sour repercussions.

Douglas and the Sheens are all
convincing in the movie‘s three piv-
otal roles. After a string of mediocre
roles and mediocre performances,
Douglas has hit big back-to-back
with “Fatal Attraction" and now
“Wall Street.“ He carries off his
venomous character with Al Capone
persuasron.

Charlie Sheen proves in “Wall
Street“ that he doesn‘t carry over

movie to the next. While his role
isn‘t as fully developed or as de-
manding as Douglas', he conveys all
of the contradictory emotions felt by
his character. The older Sheen pulls
off the cantankerous father‘figure
with the agility that has allowed him
to glided through numerous roles
with ease. Only Daryl Hannah, who
plays Charlie Sheen‘s fair-weathered
girlfriend. is awkward and overtly
prissy.

Director Stone makes effective
use of lighting and some unpredict-
able camera shots, including some
clever work with montage. The
script he co-wrote with Stanley
Weiser is loaded down with techni—
cal jargon that adds to its believabil-
ity, if not its clarity.

Stone, as usual, has tackled a
meaty hunk of subject matter, and
in doing so, makes some of “Wall
Street“ a little hard to digest in
parts.

it is also a seasonal movie in that.
like your car on a January morning,
it takes a while before it really
warms up. The movie was undoubt-
ebly rushed in lieu of recent stock
market deveIOpments and the final
product bears this out. Running just
over two hours, “Wall Street“ easily
could have been tightened up.

And like Charlie Sheen's closing
spiel in “Platoon." Stone again pulls
back the reigns at the end of “Wall
Street" with a silly monologue. this
time uttered by Martin Sheen. After
two hours of an unraveling plot.
Stone tries to put things back togeth-
er in 30 seconds. The effort is uncon»
vincing.

No. 1 play ‘Rappaport’
opens at Opera House

By ROB SENG
Staff Writer

When playwright Herb Gardner
sat down to write “l‘m Not Rappe-
port,“ the problems of growing old
in contemporary society were cen-
tral to his storyline.

The resulting play deals with two
old men who develop a therapeutic
friendship through their meetings on
a bench in Central Park. Their
friendship helps them to overcome
the traumatic experience of growing
old and becoming useless members
of society.

“I’m Not Rappaport,“ which
opens tonight at the Broadway
Opera House. began its stage life at
Seattle‘s American Place Theatre It
steadily began to build an audience
that helped boost it into a run on
Broadway. The play‘s increasing
success culminated in it receiving
Best Play at the 1986 Tony Awards.

For the touring company, Vincent
Gardenia and Glynn Turman take
over the roles that were originated
by Judd Hirsch and Cleavon Little.

According to Julie Ann Cunning-
ham, assistant to the executive di~
rector of the Broadway Live Series.
a reviewer in the Boston Herald sug»
gested that Gardenia does a better
job as Nat than Hirsch did. Nat has
a strong relationship with his daugh-
ter, who must decide whether or not
to put her father in a nursing home
Cunningham said the role is similar
to what Gardenia plays as (‘her‘s ta-
ther in the upcoming "Moonstruek."

role as Midge. Midge is an apartr

eyesight endangers his job’s future

Cocaine use

B) JERRY ESTILI.
Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Cocaine use by
high school seniors fell 20 percent
last year. the first time in more than
a decade that it has not held steady
or increased. federal health officials
said yesterday.

Marijauna smoking and other illic-
ll drug use continued a seven-year
slide. according to the 13th annual
survey conducted for the Depart-
ment of Health and Human Serv-
ices.

"Attitudes toward cocaine and
other illicit drugs now reflect a
greater awareness among our young
people of the dangers of drug use,"

among high school seniors declines

said HHS Secretary Otis R. Bowen
at a news conference.

He said ,the highly publicized c0-
caine-related deaths of college bas-
ketball star Len Bias and profession-
al football player Don Rogers
probably played a significant role in
developing that awareness.

Professionals in the anti—drug
field, who concluded long ago that
there is a measurable and direct
connection between the perceived
health risk of a particular drug and
the extent of its use. were especially
pleased with suggestions in the lat-
est survey of a sharp change in the
perceived risk of cocaine.

Dr. Donald Ian Macdonald, ad-
ministrator of the Alcohol, Drug

Abuse and Mental Health Adminis-
tration, characterized the change as
stunning.

While there has been a decade-
long gradual upward trend in the
percentage of seniors who said regu-
lar use of cocaine can be harmful.
there was a sharp jump » from 34
percent in 1986 to 48 percent last
year — in the number who said
there was “great risk“ from trying
cocaine just “once or twice,"
