Patton blasts Wethington ton ‘distorting’ views

Tim Collins

 

By Kathy finding

News Editor

Gov. Paul Patton joined the UK Board of
Trustees at its regular meeting yesterday to reaffirm
his position on higher education reform.

Patton strengthened his commitment to follow
through on the portion of the proposed legislation to
remove the communi colle e system from UK
control, against the wishes of K President Charles
Wethin on.

“1 di not expect that debate to deteriorate to that
of two politicians,” Patton said.

He said UK, through its efforts to gain position
support, has “begun to lose focus on the fact that its
ultimate purpose is to serve the people of Kentucky,
not itself.”

He described Wethington’s conduct as “disturb-
ing” and accused the UK president of providing the
community colleges with “great stores of misinfor—
mation" regarding their departure from UK’s gover-
nance — specificall that community college stu-
dents would lose scholarships, library services and
credit transfers.

“1 have a problem with this university,” Patton
said. “I have a problem with the administration of
this university.”

Patton said he was “personally offended” by state-
ments Wethington made last Monda regarding the
governor's commitment to supply ad itional funding
to the University in July. He said it was not
Wethington’s place to question whether the gover-
nor would follow through on the “good faith down

opposing actions would factor into his later board
approvals.

Before the governor's arrival, the Board unani—
mously passed a resolution in opposition of separat-
ing the community college system from UK and
reaffirmed the Board's support of\\'ethington.

Board Chaimian and former governor, lidward T.
Breathitt said UK and its trustees support the
remainder of Patton's plan and will “continue dia—
logue and work toward resolution ofcritical issues."

Student representative to the Board Alan Aja
guestioned how the entire reform would help stu-

ents if a position for a student on the new state
boards was not in the plans.

“This allows me to believe the students were not a
focus,” Aja said. “Let higher education reform to the
needs of students, not to those needs of business of
industry.”

In his statement to the Board, Patton also ques-
tioned a letter from VVethington to himselfthat stat—
ed the costs of making UK a top-20 research institu-
tion would be more than $700 million. Patton said he
didn't have exact fi res on the cost, but that it
would be more than S; to 6 million \Vethington said
Patton set the price tag at.

He accused VVethington of distorting his position
with inaccurate numbers.

“I have not done exact research as to what that
would cost," Patton said. “I thou ht it was probably
affordable for this Commonweal . lf(\\'ethington’s
letter) is accurate, then we may as well abandon that
goal."

After the meeting \Vethington denied Patton's

FRANKFORT — Gov. Paul
Patton's education plan gets boos
from the University of Kentucky
and its community colleges, but
presidents of the other state uni-
versities like it fine.

They came to the Capitol yes-
terday to endorse the plan, which
includes merging community col—
leges and state vocational-techni—
cal schools into a system uncon—
nected to UK.

Patton also wants to change the
way all universities are governed
and funded.

He has promised a substantial
increase in funding ifthe universi-
ties will exercise the self-discipline
needed to raise the quality of their
research and programs.

from Pitino when he introduced

In a move to better serve the people of the Com-
monwealth, local legislators heard the o inions of
the Lexington community and UK officia 5, student
body and staff.

Sen. Ernesto Scorsone and Rep. Kathy Stein were
the hosts, with Rep. Scot Hoffman (D-Lexington)
and Rep. Jesse Crenshaw( -Lexington) also there in
representation.

“We are here to listen to the ideas and comments
that you have about hi her education and the com—
munity college issue,” tein (R-Lexir'igton) said.

With that, the words started to y, and su port
for both Gov. Paul Patton and UK President C arles
Wethington began. From the forum, clearly it
looked as if Patton had support from the UK staff,
while students from community colleges and UK
Lexington campus held opposite positions.

“Nobody that I have heard is talking about elimi-
nating the community colleges, about restricting
access to them, about denying them funding, about
requiring the students to commute some long dis-
tnce from their homes,” said Bob Fugate, director
of graduate studies in mathematics. “It is obvious
that all of the community colleges are in a mess as
also the state.”

While some students sup orted the system
remaining where it is now, one exington Commu-

boiled down to a name rather than a pu ose. More-
over, the community colle es could do etter with-
out UK runnin them, but ight was quick to com-
ment that the K name is important.

“There are a lot of students who do say that it
means a lot to employers who are looking to hire
you, and they are proud and that it means something
to have that University of Kentucky stamp on their
diploma,” she said.

Student Government Association President Alan
A'a, coming off a statement from the day’s Board of

rustee's meeting, showed up to speak against the
governor's proposal to the legislators. \

Other students also commented not only against
strippin the community colleges, but the specific
grou at the vemor 5 plan wants to create.

“The SCOP committee looks like an effort to
micro-manage hi her education from Frankfort and
I think that’s 2 ba idea,” said Merrie Winfrey, a UK
graduate student. “All the good intentions in the
world are not going to help.”

oinoy's Fortson
llCflllflll to NBA

By Joe Kay
Arroa‘aud Pres

CINCINNATI — All-America
power forward Danny Fortson
said yesterday he will pass up his
final year of eligibility at Cincin-
nati to enter the NBA draft.

In his three college seasons,
Fortson became the school‘s NO. 2
all-time scorer, trailing only Oscar
Robertson, and one of the coun-
try’s most dominant frontline
players.

he only thing he failed to do
was lead the Bearcats to the Final
Four. He scored only 16 points in
a 67—66 loss to Iowa State in the
second round of the NCAA tour-
nament last month.

Although Fortson strongly
hinted during the season that he
was headed for the NBA draft, he
said yesterday that he did not defi-
nitely decide until the last few
days.

He had held off on the
announcement so it wouldn’t
become a distraction during the
toumament.

“It’s basically a business deci-
sion," Fortson said at a news con—
ference. “I’ve thought about work-
ing on my dream. My dream is to
play in the NBA.

“1 think I can play. There’s no
doubt in my mind. I’m ready.”

Cincinnati coach Bob Huggins,
who appeared with Fortson at the
news conference, said he advised
Fortson to do what is best for him.
Huggins said that Fortson felt a
certain responsibility to stay and
help the Bearcats chase a national

title.

“I had to explain to him that we

won before he got here, and we're
robably going to win after he
eaves,” Huggins said.

“That’s not part of the equa-
tion.”

Fortson considered leaving
after his sophomore season, but
decided to stay for one more ear
to develop his game and ma e a
run at a national u'tle.

The 6-foot-7, 260- ound for-
ward from Pittsburgh, 21., was the
main reason Cincinnati was
ranked No. l in the preseason.
Fortson was featured on the cover
of Sports Illustrated’s basketball
preview issue, which suggested
that the road to the Final Four
went throu h Cincinnati.

Althoug Fortson had a spec—
tacular season, he couldn’t carry
the team an farther than the
Conference SA regular-season
championship. The Bearcats lost
in the conference tournament and
in the NCAA tournament.

Part Of it was the lack ofa point
guard tO get him the ball. Part of it
was the backcourt’s inability to
take the pressure Off of him by bit-
ting from the perimeter. And part
Of it was Fortson’s stormy rela-
tionshi with Officials.

He ouled out of five games and
got a half-dozen technical fouls.
Fortson spent much of his time
fighting through zone defenses
that turned him into a pinball.

After a victory over Southern
Miss on Feb. 26, Fortson said the
officiating would be the main con-
sideration in his decision about the

NBA draft.

“I guess they’re trying to give
me a sign: ‘Get the hell out of
here.’ That's what the message is,”
Fortson fumed at the time.

Fortson also clashed with Hug-
gins, who benched him for a game
against DePaul.

Huggins suggested that Fort-
son — who was urging teammates

to get him the ball more often —
wasn’t on the same page with the
head coach.

Fortson leaves Cincinnati with
1,881 career points. He had three
of the top five games in school his—
tory for shooting percentage,
including a school-record 93.3
percentage (I4-of—IS) against
Eastern Michigan last Dec. 1‘).

CINCINNATI — The Colorado Rockies
wanted to get Off to a good start on the road
this season. They couldn’t have done much
worse.

Deion Sanders returned to baseball with a
big game and the Rockies —— one of baseball’s
worst road teams last year — fumbled around
in the field, helping the Cincinnati Reds pull
away to an I 1—4 victory yesterday afternoon.

Sanders opened a four—run first inning with
a double. He later singled, stole a pair of bases
and scored on one of the Rockies’ two errors.

Colorado was equally inept in the field. Left
fielder Dante Bichette misplayed Sanders’ fly
ball into a double to start the Reds’ big first
inning and misplayed a hit by Reggie Sanders
into a triple in the same inning.

Hal Morris had a pair of run—scoring singles

and an RBI double, giving him a hit in each of
his last 30 games. He ended last season by hit-
ting safely in 29 games, but streaks don’t carry
over to a new season.

A crowd of 54,820 —- the ninth-largest in
stadium history —- stood for a moment of
silence before the game to commemorate the
one-year anniversary of umpire John McSher-
ry’s death.

There were no disagreements with the
umpires, who have adopted a no-tolerance pol-
icy toward arguments this season. Umpires
union chief Richie Phillips watched the game
from the stands.

Rockies manager Don Baylor watched his
team self-destruct in the first inning, when
loser Kevin Ritz gave up a walk, single, double,
triple and homer to the Reds’ first five batters.

The Rockies, who were 28-53 away from
Coors Field last season, rallied against winner
john Smiley to tie it in the fourth. Vinny

But Ritz gave up a gO-ahead double to Sini-
Iey in the fourth, and the Reds batted around
and put the rame away with four runs in a sixth
inning that eatured two Rockies errors.

The 11 runs tied Cincinnati’s record for
O ening day. It was the fourth time in franchise
history and the first since 1987 that Cincinnati
scored 1 1 times in its opener.

Ritz, who won a club-record 17 ames last
season, ave up eight hits, four waI s and five
runs in five innings. Smiley allowed six hits and
four runs over six innings in his first opening-
day start.

Kevin Jarvis got the save by pitching the
final three innings.

Deion Sanders, who took last season off to
become a two~way player with the Dallas Cow-
boys, went 2-for-4 with an RBI, a pair of stolen
bases and two runs scored to jump-start an
offense that generated 15 hits.

ullin out the victory in the end was Mas—
seameh Pgmami and Courtney Allen in doubles
baiting Tiffany Gates and Jennifer Hall of
Mtre Dame 8- 2.
,,_;Emami credits the win to the team’s hard
work.

“It 5 really awesome because no one expects
us to do anythin great," she said “I think we
showed peO le t at we re a damn mod team.
It feels gooc because we 're the underdog, and
this should definitely help our ranking.

“\Ve worked our asses off, that's all it took.
\Ve just worked that much harder than they

did.”

Emami lost her singles match to Hall 7-5,
6-1.

Her doubles partner Allen seemed to think
the same.

“We have been playing good in doubles,”
she said. “Our team has been on a good run,
and now we are looking good going into the
(Southeastern Conference meet)"

Despite solid doubles play, Allen lost her
sin les match to Darcie Scarlinge 6—2, 7-5.

. tepping u 1 early for UK was Kelly Brown
whodismisse Marisa Velaso(1- 3, 6-- ’.

“ I his feels great we haVe been working so
hard” Brown said. I m glad to contribute to
the win.

Brown and Christy Sigurski finished off

Valeso and Kelly Zalinski 8-5 to cap ot'fanoth-
er doubles victory for the (Eats.

“\Ve went in really confident, no one was
really tentative," Si rurski said. “I think our vic-
tory really broug t them down and gave
( ourtne} and \‘Iassoumeh the momentum to

win. Im really glad we came throu h. We
should go) up around 10 to 15 spots w en the
new ran 'ngs come out.”

In one— on- one competition, Sigurski lost
her match to Zalinski 6- 4, 6-4.

( aroline Kirk kept the hard working men-
tality going as she played through tendinitis
pain in her shoulder Kirk topped Olson 6-2,
7-5 in a ton h singles match.

“\Ve h'JIT a strong weekend, but it meant
more to beat Notre Dame," Kirk said. “We
re ally fought hard to beat them. I had a tough
time playing through the injuries, but it felt
good to beat them."

Kathy Herring finished off'l‘iffany Gates 6-
3, 6-4 in a tight match, helping UK gain the
advantage in singles.

lhis is a really good feeling, especially
when you “in a tight match like this one,”
Herring said.

Coach Mark Guilbeau enjoyed the win but
is still encouraging the team to maintain its

exploits after a 6-5 win in 10
innings over the Toronto Blue
Jays, following through on his
pledge to be more cooperative
with the media this season.

“I‘m happy to come over and
be productive in the first game,"
Belle said. “There was pressure
coming over, hitting with a guy
like Frank Thomas and our
tremendous lineup.”

son opener for the White Sox.

Martin tied it with a pinch-hit
home run in the ninth inning and
Durham streaked home from first
base on what should have been an
infield hit in the 10th.

A Skyl)ome crowd of 40,299,
more than 10,000 short of a sell-
out, saw Thomas and Belle give
( hicago an early lead. Solo home
runs by ( .1rlos Delgado and Alex
Gonzal,ez though, helped put the
Blue Jays ahea 5—2 entering the
eighth.

But Thomas opened the eighth
with a single and Belle followed
with a drive into the left-field
stands off AL Cy Youn v winner
Pat Hentgen. It was Be le's first
homer since lcaVing Cleveland for
a five-year deal in Chicago -— he

“I looked terrible in spring
training,’ Belle said “LVcrybody
was wondering when I was going
to hit a home run. Once the sea—

son starts, everything is for keeps.
These are the statistics that count.
The main thing is that we started
the season out 1—0."

Martin made it S-all when, bat-
ting for Ron Karkovice, he bit
closer Mike Timlin's first pitch
over the left field wall. \Vith two
outs, Thomas drew a walk that put
two runners on for Belle, who
popped out.

Durham drew a two-out walk

from loser Dan Plesac in the 10th
and Tony Pena bounced a
grounder into the hole for a sin-
gle.

Green said. “The only two things

ference at the school yesterday to

pound junior, was the ()wls‘ lead—
ing scorer and rebounder the past

got to it, it went off the tip of my
glove. I did everything I could to
stop it."

Roberto Hernandez pitched
the 10th for a save, 1reserving the
win for Tony Castillo.

Thomas, batting third, went 2-
for-4 with a walk and Belle, hit-
ting cleanup, was 2-for-5.

Belle provided a quick dividend
for his new team. After Tony
Phillips led off the game with a
single and Thomas singled with
one out, Belle lined an opposite-
field, RBI double to right.

Belle, as usual, caused a stir
amon v the fans. They booed him
when the threw a foul to a ballboy,
rather than tossin it into the
stands, and threw is home—run
ball back onto the field.

I know that,‘ Belle said.

‘I take it as a compliment that
they're aware of my accomplish-
ments."
