UK’s football season might be over, but the Wild-

cats‘ off-ﬁeld problems intensiﬁed when star tailback
Moe Williams, 20, was arrested early Sunday morn—

ing on charges he battered his former girlfriend.

Shortly after 3 a.m., according to police reports,
Karla Nunn called authorities to Mark’s On Main, an
after hours disco club at 135 W. Main St., saying she
and Williams were involved in an argument.

According to police, Williams confronted Nunn
and said he would “fucking kill her.” Nunn told
authorities that Williams “put (his) hands around her
throat, lifted her from the ground, and began chok-
ing her.”

Nunn, a 19-year old UK student who suffered
bruises to the throat during the alleged confronta-
tion, was unavailable for comment yesterday.

The UK tailback was taken into custod at 6:22
a.m. on Sunday and charged with fourth-degree
assault and terroristic threatening.

If convicted of both misdemeanor charges,
VViIliams could face up to 12 months in jail and a
$500 ﬁne, said Mike Moloney, Williams’ attorney.

Williams was released Sunday after about four
hours in jail and was ordered to appear in Fayette
District Court yesterday to be arraigned.

At the arraignment, Judge David Hayes set a
$10,000 full cash blanket bond for Williams. In addi-
tion to the bond, the jud e issued a no contact order,
which bars Williams from communicating with
Nunn.

INDEPENDENT SINCE 1971

Sanford called a friend of the running back’s family,
posted the bond in court yesterday. Williams was
arrested at Head’s residence at 1801 Charleston Dr.

in Lexington.

Moloney suggested that Nunn ressed char res
because she “apparently doesn’t like the fact t at
(Williams) is no longer going with
her.”

Less than 24 hours before
Williams’ arrest, the Wildcats had
completed their worst football season
since 1982 with a 52-0 blowout loss
to the Tennessee Volunteers in
Knoxville. It was the Cats 10th loss in
a row.

Williams, a so homore, finished - -
the season with apteam-leading 824 Williams
yards.

In addition to poor play on the ﬁeld, the Wildcats
have been plagued of late by distracting off—the—ﬁeld
incidents.

In July, offensive guard Trent DiGiuro was
gunned down by an unknown assailant, and last
month, Bill Curry’s wife and a UK football player
were threatened b phone.

Members of the UK coaching staff refused to
comment yesterday, but Sanford, a split end and kick
return specialist who spoke with Nunn about the
alleged incident, said Williams is innocent until
proven guilty.

“I think evervthing has gotten misrepresented,"
said Sanford, who conﬁrmed that Nunn has many
friends on the football team.

“She might be telling only one side of the story.”

“People make ﬁtn of me but I’m not ashamed of where I come from ” — Heather Drake

s... of man
be major change

By Glenda N. Ethington
Staff I/Vriter

Although students from rela—
tively small hometowns are a
minority on UK’s campus, they
still constitue a signiﬁcant portion
of the school year population.

According to statistics in the
“University of Kentucky Report
’94” there are about 7,000 stu-
dents from Kentucky counties not
immediatly surrounding Frank-
fort, Lexington and Louisville.

David Stockham, UK’s dean of
students, said students’ origin
doesn’t predetermine academic
success rates.

“For some people (the transi—
tion) is tougher, and for others it’s
probably not an issue,” he said.

Heather Drake grew up in a
community that doesn’t even
qualify as a town.

Morgantown, Ky., with a popu—
lation of about 2,000, is the closest
town to the tiny farming commu—
nity of Little Muddy in Butler
County, where Drake, an agricul—
tural engineering freshman, lives.

“Some people make fun of me,
my accent, but I’m not ashamed of
where I come from,” said Drake,
who has a picture of her cow,
Lucy, on her wall.

Some things these students
must adjust to include the academ-
ic differences from rural to city
schools, the vastness of the UK
campus and becoming homesick.

Regardless of how one adjusts,
many students note the contrast—
ing elements of rural and city set—
tings.

“Here, I look out my window
and see buildings. At home you
look out and see fields,” Drake
said.

Drake said there have been
adjustments for family members as
well.

“There is only one other guy
from my class up here. That was a
big problem when I got here. I
didn’t know anybody,” said Drake.

Sup ort from friends and fami~
I can elp overcome some of the
Sears and apprehension of leaving
home.

“My friends and family wanted
me to come up here to better
myself," said Drake. “They
thought it was great that I came up
here because it was so rare."

“It’s really hard here academi-
cally. I was at the top of my class
and it’s difﬁcult to struggle. I don’t
think our rural school system real-
ly prepared me well."

Some adjust to a campus

bigger than hometown
By Brandi Booher

sztributing W titer

Adjusting to college from high school can be difﬁ—
cult enough for most students.

But some must deal with another aspect — com-
ing to a university where the student population
alone is thousands more than their hometown popu—
lation.

It can be intimidating, but also enlightening, four
UK students say.

for spacious skies

Brooks Wells, a chemical engineering freshman,
is from Owingsville, Ky., a town with a population of
about 1,200. He ﬁnds the biggest difference between
Lexington and his home is the amount of space.

“You can go out and not worry about bothering
anyone, being on a farm and in the woods,” says
Wells of the 23-acre tobacco farm he calls home.

Being used to big spaces, Wells did not hesitate
about coming to UK. He is from a big family of
farmers — his father farms part-time and both of his

arents are employed by the schools. He has always
been more geared to school and is a Singletary
Scholar.

Living in a small town, everyone knows most
everyone. “Ifyou’re driving down the road and don’t
wave, people talk about you,” he said. “Here, people
don’t do that. You’re looked at funny ifyou do.

“It's harder to break ties in a small town. There’s
minor differences, but you make friends the same
way.

“You ﬁnd you can identify with a lot more people
than you thought you could.”

Wells said he is trying to dispel the myth that
crossing the Jefferson County line into the rest of
the state qualiﬁes someone as a “hick.”

Center a'esz ed as [We

By Carrie Morrison
Campus Editor

History professor Ronald Eller’s family has lived
in the Appa achian region of West Virginia since the
17905. Eller was the ﬁrst member to venture down
the mountains to attend colle e. He chose UK, then
he chose to study the AppaIachian area and help
make the transition from there to UK easier for stu-
dents through the Appalachian Center.

“I have a very strong understanding for rural and
small town kids going awa to college, he said.

Eller is director of K’s Appalachian Center,
which was founded by faculty to “serve as the link
between the University’s resources and the needs of
communities and students of Appalachia.”

About one-third of UK’s students are from the
Appalachian areas stretching from New York to
northern Mississippi, Eller said. “It’s often a myth
that Appalachian students come to UK and they are
poorly prepared. That’s just not true,” he said.

The Appalachian Student Council is sponsored by
the center. This student-run organization is co-
chaired by students, sponsored by two professors and

Ratliff, 24, who was born in
Flint, Mich., is the onl member
not from Kentucky. he Fitch
brothers and Rainwater grew up
down the road in Wilmore, and
have been laying together since
they were 2 out 12 or 13.

“We would just get together
and play with whoever had equip—
ment, ”said Nathan Fitch.

Nathan, 23, is the ungest
member of the group. The muSIc
he listened to when growing up
added another dimension to Ros-
tulara’s sound.

“I listened to Zeppelin, Cream
and the Doors,” he said. “Later
on, I got into ’80s alternative
bands like the Cure and the
Church.”

Nathan‘s older brother, John,
25, began playing guitar, but after
a while, decided to put it down.

“I had people tell me, ‘Why
don’t you just sing since you can’t
play anything?”' he said.

Although Rainwater, 24, is the
band’s guitarist, he claimed that he
really doesn’t like the use of exces—
sive soloing in songs.

“I think solos are boring,” he
said. “I’m not really a fan of guitar
playing. I like the overall band
sound.”

Ratliff agreed, “I think it’s
more im ortant to maintain the
unity of e song.”

“We want to maintain chem—
istry and make good songs,” John
added.

The band has recently released
a 7- inch single containing the
songs “Clean” and “Maybe She’s
Gone.” Rostulara plans to send
the record to about 100 college
radio stations.

“We re talkin to a lot oflabels
right now," John said. “We’re
hoping to get added on to more

stations and get some more air-
”
play.

Right now, the band is taking it
easy and taking time off to write.
One factor concerning this is aca-
demic pursuits.

“I’ve got to work on my the-

sis,” said Ratliff, an English gradu- .

ate student here at UK pursuing
his master’s.

Nathan is in his fourth year in
the UK English Department,
while John has a degree in broad-
cast communications from Asbu
Colle e. Asbury is where John met
Ratliff.

“I was listening to R.E.M.’s
Murmur while typing on a com-
puter,” Ratliff said. “John came by
and said, ‘What are you listening
to?”

Rainwater is the only member
not in school right now.

“I alwa s hated school," he said.
“I wanted’to be free and play in
bands. I was deﬁnitely not inter-
ested in academics.”

The current state of popular
music is often a concern for many
bands today, and Rostulara
claimed that things aren’t too
good, with a few exceptions.

“Some of these new alternative
bands are pretty poor,” John said.
“They lack originality. I do like
Sheryl Crow and Luscious Jack-
son.”

Rainwater noted that his ﬁrst
real exposure to music came in the
form of The King.

“I was weaned on Elvis,” he
said. “My uncle is even an Elvis
impersonator in Wilmore.”

Being a part of a band has its
rewards, John said.

“The greatest thrill is hearing
your own songs on the radio and
seem people In the crowd mimic
your lyrics”

Hey now, what’s this? It seems
as if a conservative “watch-

By the way, ifI was the

ents, I would really appreci—
ate it if someone made sure
to tell my parents what to

In that somewhat brain-
washing spirit, this group has
rated several TV shows on a scale
of green, yellow and red lights. I
don't mean to enter the political
forum, but conservatism can only
go so far, you know?

The said group watched

red lights were or sitcoms
and dramas that attack
“traditional” values and
conservatives views.

I don’t mean to insult anyone
personally or their beliefs, but I
really don’t think the rest of the
world has set out on a quest to
corrupt conservative people or
their children.

ABC, NBC and CBS each had
two shows in the red, where Fox
had a mighty seven, among them
“Melrose Place,” “Married
With Children,” and “The Simp-
sons.”

“Seinfeld" and “Beverly Hills

yellows, and “The Nanny” joined
“Dave’s World" and “Home

‘The Advocate' tells story 01 spicy medieval life

By Charles Sebastian
8111ij Iritit'

Mirimax Films just released
their answer to “The Name of the
Rose,” called “The Advocate,” a
15th century court drama set in
France. It was a delightful picture.

A young lawyer from Paris,
Richard Cortois (Colin Firth),
moves to the rural town of
Abbeville, where he hopes to be a
lawyer “for the people.” But he is
overridden in his attempts by the
twisted and barbaric laws still kept
by the townspeople.

The opening scene shows a
man about to be hanged for bes—
tiality; also on the same scaffold
stand the oblivious donkey, the
object of the man’s molestations.
Yet just before the trap is pulled, a
man rushes to the donkey’s aid

dence and the pig unable to testify

'About this time every year, the
UK football team’s season winds
down. There is the occasional
bowl bid, but normally, the whole
thing comes to a screeching halt in
late November.

And for the most part, UK fans
don’t really mind seeing it end.
After all, the average \Vildcat fan’s
fancy shifts to hoops when the
leaves are all gone.

This ear, though, things are
just a litt 6 bit different. More than
an indifference, the end of this
particular UK season, which
ended with the (Iats sporting a
dismal l-IO record, has brought

“Personally, I in kind of
relieved,” said quarterback Anto-
nio ()‘Ferral. “There’s no way
things should’ve turned out the
way they did, there’s no way we’re
this bad a team.”

The man who guides U’Ferral
and the rest of UK's players, head
coach Bill Curry, doesn’t share the
same emotions about the end of
his team’s dismal year.

“I'd much rather be playing
again next week," Curry said after
his team’s season—ending 52-0 loss
at the hands of Tennessee on Sat-
urday.

Even Curry, notorious for
accentuating the positive in any
situation, has struggled to find the

bright side of his problems. After
struggling through the death of
one of his players —- offensive
lineman Trent DiGiuro — in the
summer, Curry has been forced to
deal with near-constant off the
ﬁeld distractions.

In the middle of the season, it
was a death threat made to Curry’s
wife. A subsequent threat, Curry
told ESPN in an interview aired
last week, was made to a player
whom Curry will not identify. It
came to a head over the weekend
with the arrest of star running
back Moe Williams on an assault
charge.

“I’ve doubted myself and I’ve
wondered regularly about how I
handled the off—field distractions,”

(Iurry said. “How much of an
affect it might have had on us,
we’ll never know.”

Only a year removed from a 6-6
season in which it saw postseason
play for the first time in nine
years, UK fielded one of its least
competitive teams ever. The Cats
lost to Florida 73—7. They were
blown out by Indiana 59-29 the
following week.

And though they made

Donnell Gordon and Daymon Carter, but the most consistent big-play threat for
the Cats all season long was Kio Sanford, the kick returner who broke a 96-yard
kickoff return for a touchdown against Northeast Louisiana.

Bluest disappointment:
Carter, the junior college running back who came to UK boasting that he planned
on contending for the Heisman Trophy race. He wound up struggling to fit into the
offense early in the season, then suffering a separated shoulder that effectively
ended his year. He capped off a season in which he rushed for a grand total of 14
yards by announcing his intention to transfer.

Banged-up Cats set to face Lithuania

Riddrck, Pope

It might feature Rodrick
Rhodes as the shooting guard and
Walter McCarty at the center or
Jeff Sheppard at the point guard

and Antoine Walker as the swing
forward.

Whatever the case, this much is
certain about the UK basketball
team’s starting lineup for tonight’s
game against the Lithuanian
National Team — nothing is cer-
tain.

The Cats will have the services
of centers Mark Pope and Andre
Riddick at their disposal, but

7:30 is still up in the air.

Pope, whom Pitino said is at
“about 70 or 80 percent," deﬁnite-
ly will play. Riddick will likely see
action, however sparingly.

“I think (Riddick has) just got
to get out there and play," Pitino
said. “I'd like to see him play
eight, ten minutes just to get over
the mental aspect of (the injury).”

Though Pitino admitted his
team’s rash of injuries has hin—
dered its progress, he said he’s
managed to find a “silver lining"
in the situation by tinkering with
different lineup combinations,
including the unorthodox possibil—
ity of Tony Delk at point guard,
Rhodes at shooting guard,
McCarty and \Valker at the for-
wards andjared Prickett at center.

Since UK’s players don’t even
know what their starting lineup
will look like, one wouldn’t expect
them to know much about Lithua-
nia. And they don't.

“\Vhere is that, in Russia some-
where?" Rhodes asked. “I really
should know that kind of stuff.”

The Cats don’t plan to over—
look the Lithuanians, though —
they learned the potency that
international teams can pack when
they lost their second exhibition
game last season to a powerful
Australian team.

“I don‘t think we really over-
looked Australia last year,
though," Rhodes said. “They were
just a really good team. They had
about six players playing in the
world games this summer a ainst
Larry Johnson and onzo
Mourning."

Though Rhodes doesn’t plan
on peering ahead of Lithuania,
Pitino isn't utting much stock in
the game, which is to he expected,
considering that his team has its
season opener on Saturday against
Tennessee Martin — a team that
Pitino admits he knows very little
about.

“What we have to do right now
is get ready for Tennessee-Martin,
before anything else," Pitino said,
cautioning that his team needs to
