faculty to receive a 5.5 per-

included a 2.5 percent “catch-

try to bring faculty salaries
more in line with national

will give staff a 3.5 percent

a 3.5 salary raise until Janu-

Judgedismisses former
football coach's lawsuit
By Jonathan Smith
is xtnrucxv KERNEL
A federal judge yesterday threw out a law-
suit filed by a former UK assistant football
coach who admitted to committing serious re-
cruiting violations while at UK.
The suit, in which Bassett claimed he was
told that if he resigned from his recruiting co
ordinator post, no further charges would be
brought against him, was tossed by US. Dis--
trict Court Judge Joseph Hood.
“The university is pleased with Judge
Hood's ruling that granted the athletic associ-
ation's motion for summary judgment in the
Bassett case," said UK spokesperson Jay
Blanton. “It has been the university’s position
all along.
“There was no merit to Mr. Bassett's case
and Judge Hood’s ruling affirms that."
The summary judgment brings an end to
a civil suit that has stretched over a span of
14 months.
Although every charge against the UK
Athletic Association has been dropped, a
claim against the National Collegiate Athletic
Association is still pending. That suit alleges
the eight-year banishment from intercolle
giate athletics conveyed upon Bassett has re

Staff representatives are tout-

decision to tweak the proposed

Kyle Dippery. chair of the Staff
Senate. said this is an example of
how the Staff Senate is fulfilling
its roles in bringing staff concern:
to the administration.
"It‘s a sign of how l‘ffOClth‘ the
Staff Senate can be. a sign that
that the president is wrlling to
work with the staff through the
Staff Senate.” Dippery said.
Jay Blanton. a UK spokesman.
said that is the way the message
should be read.
“It's a strong indicator of how
important the Staff Senate is.“ he
said.
Blanton also said it highlights
UK's preference of the current sys~
tcm.
“Clearly Kyle‘s input. the input
of the Staff Senate and the elected
representatives were important to
the president and important to the
process.“ Blanton said.
But Dippery said he is also con-
cerned with how this will be per»
ceived by those pushing for union-
ization.
"I hope people see this as Dr.
Todd reaching a compromise with
the staff and senate and not so
much as giving in or backing
down." Dippery said.
Though Dippery said this is a
major step. he doesn't believe it
will have a calming effect on the
staff. many of who are upset over a
number of issues which were
brought to the forefront by the ini-
tial two-tier pay raise proposal.
“I'm not sure anything (will
pacify them), Dippery said. “I
think they are so caught up in
their anger that they‘re not willing
to let it go, unfortunately."
In the meanwhile, Dippery said
he thinks staffers should continue

Nick'& Vanessa’s
Vegas weekend
I‘Ile DiSI-l
By Mara Reinstein
Nick Lachey isn't afraid to travel for love -
- or, for that matter, a date. On April 8, the
singer headed to Las Vegas to meet up with
MTV VJ Vanessa Minnillo, whom he had
kissed at New York City's Underbar 10 days
earlier Just before midnight, Lachey and his
entourage (including his ex-wife's best friend.
CaCee Cobb, who, despite reports, is not dat-
ing Lachey) settled into a VIP area at Pure
nightclub. Then, at 2:45 am, Minnillo ar-
rived. And sprawled across the sofa bed. "She
was dancing seductively in front of Nick."
says a source. "She was being a tease."
Lachey's response: sticking dollar bills in her
dress, say sources. By 4 am, before the two
left separately, "Nick started making out with
her," says a source. "She ended the show by
putting her finger on her mouth to signal him
to be discreet."
It's no secret, though. how Lachey, 32, feels
about the vivacious Total Request Live host,
25, who portrays his ex in his upcoming
"What's Left of Me" video. "He's crazy about
her," says a Lachey source. "He keeps telling
friends how cool and sexy she is." Seconds
another, "He loves that she's a guy's girl; the
anti-Jessica." But he may have to play hard-
ball to get her: Sources close to Minnillo say
not only is she disinterested in dating Lachey,
but she also harbors feelings for her ex, New
York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter. "She‘s
not wasting time with Nick if she can be
with Derek." says a source.
Can It Last?
For now. Lachey may have to settle for a
spring fling. The singer is in the midst of a
radio tour to support his album, due May 9.
(Speaking on Philadelphia's QIOZ—FM on
April 6, he said of his love life, "I will not
comment") Minnillo, meanwhile, is back to
her MTV duties in NYC. "Nick might fly in to
see her." says a Lachey source. Adds another
Lachey insider. "They have fun hanging out.
Vanessa doesn't take things too seriously."
Vanessa vs. The Hiltons
On April 7, Minnillo and Paris and Nicky
Hilton hit Vegas club Tao for co-owner Jason
Strauss' birthday party. By evening's end.
they were feuding. "Vanessa grabbed the fin-
Lachey follows new flame
Minnillo to Sin City for hookup
ger of the Hiltons‘ aunt, Kyle, hard," a source
says. "Paris and Nicky flipped out." (A Hilton
rep did not return calls.) Later, the source
says, the Hiltons signaled security and had
Minnillo kicked out for drinking too much.
Argues a Minnillo pal, "Kyle hurt Vanessa's
hand; Vanessa got mad. The Hiltons flipped."
Minnillo‘s rep tells Us, "Vanessa had a great
time being honored for her Maxim cover. As
far as we're concerned, what happens in Ve-
gas, stays in Vegas."

ployee who works in sheet

skeptical about unionizing.
but that has changed with re-
cent developments.
“I didn’t think it (a posi-
tive change) was possible at
first when people started
talking union talk,” Moore
said. “Since the union has
come up, I’ve seen a lot of
things come up in conversa-
tion that wouldn’t have come
up before.”
McGowan also chal-
lenged statements made by
staff representatives that ac-
cused the union of taking ad-
vantage of the staff’s anger
over recurring issues to try
and bolster their own mem-
bership rolls.
“Where in the American
ideal is it wrong to want to
be bigger and better?” Mc-
Gowan asked.
McGowan also said the
unionized staffers want noth-
ing but the best for UK, in.
cluding achieving the goal of
being a top 20 research insti-
tution.
“Every one of them
wants that university to be a
successful university,” he
said.
Samantha Gange. a staff
support associate in the Col-
lege of Law. also said she
thinks the unionization
movement should by no
means stop.
“I think I feel it’s the only
option of being heard,” she
said. “Individually we are in-
visible but collectively we
are a voice We’re just try-
ing to be part of a communi-
ty and I think a union will

ence, or interference with
Bassett’s contractual or busi-
ness relationships.
“This court refuses to con-
done (Bassett’s) ludicrous ef-
forts to bind the UKAA to
agree to breach its obligations
to the NCAA and conceal
(Bassett’ s) numerous rules in-
fractions,” Hood wrote in his
order.
Bassett became UK's di-
rector of football operations
in 1999. and later was desig-
nated the recruiting coordina-
tor under former head coach
Hal Mumme. He was forced to
resign in November of 2000
by then-UK athletic director
Larry Ivy for “mishandling”
campus funds.
In January 2005 Bassett
admitted, according to an
NCAA report. to sending
$1,400 to a Memphis high
school coach.
After the NCAA conclud—
ed its investigation, several vi-
olations were found and the
NCAA punished UK by taking
away 19 scholarships over a
three-year period and reduc—
ing UK’s scholarship al-
lowance from 85 to 80.
Bassett filed his lawsuit in
September 2004 against the
NCAA. the Southeastern Con-
ference and the UKAA. seek-
ing $50 million in damages.
He alleged they committed
antitrust violations, conspira-
cy. fraud and tortious interfer-
ence.
The original lawsuit filed
by Bassett said Ivy and for-
mer offensive coordinator
Tony Franklin “conspired to
ruin Coach Bassett’s college
coaching career"
The UK Athletics Depart-
ment has declined to com-

The encyclopedia has al-
ready received attention from
citizens giving names and in-
formation to be included in
the encyclopedia. Hardin said.
“There is a list of names
just based on our own re-
search from reading newspa-
pers and reading reports from
various national organiza-
tions and from churches and
other publications that we’ve
come across.” said Gerald
Smith. associate professor of
history at UK and another
general co-editor of the
KAAE.
Smith said the body will
also include information
about important organiza-
tions and movements from
black history as well as topi-
cal essays about slavery, edu-
cation. women. religion.
sports, business. civil rights.
medicine and law.
The third coeditor. Karen
McDaniel. is a professor
emeritus at Kentucky State
University and is working on
her dissertation for a doctor-
ate in history at UK. Her fo-
cus is on black women.
The estimated cost of the
project is about $700 000 of
which UK has provided
$130,000. UK has led the way
in providing needed re-
sources. Hardin said.
“UK has contributed fund-
ing up from." said Hardin.
“They have been very helpful
in getting the Web site going
and getting the office support
that is needed. Now. we are
going to have to reach out to
corporate and private citizens
to add their support."
Faculty from other univer-
sities and UK will form the
editorial advising commit-
tees. Local community lead-
ers, like Tubby Smith and De.
monte Dawson. are taking
part by participating in the
steering committee for the en-
cyclopedia.
UK will house the project
in the MI. King Library this
fall and host the project's Web
site. UK previously housed
the Kentucky Encyclopedia.
published in I992.
Smith said he sees the en-
cyclopedia as a great opportu-
nity. not only for the universi-
ties. but for the students as
well.
“The opportunity to work
on this kind of project is
something that we believe is
going to be good for the stu-
dents and for the graduate
program.” Smith said. “We've
got a great project going on.
In the future. there should be
more students who say ‘I
want to be involved because it
allows me to work on a topic
I‘m interested in and to use
this as a research project for a
masters or doctorate degree.”
Graduate students from
UK and WKU will be hired to
do research. fact check and
write for the encyclopedia.
Project leaders will begin
touring next month to garner
financial support. The project
is currently funded through
the Thomas D. Clark Founda-
tion and will move into their
offices at the King Library in
June.

Dippery also said that

Pulitzer shutout stings playwrights
By Diane Haithman
LOS ANGELES rmts
As journalists. novelists.
photographers and poets
toasted their winners of the
2006 Pulitzer Prizes. play-
wrights were left with empty
champagne glasses Monday
when it was announced that
the Pulitzer board had select-
ed no recipient in the drama
category for the first time
since 1997.
Although some Pulitzer
competition representatives
denied that the decision repre-
sented either a snub to the fi-
nalists or a comment on the
sorry state of new American
theater. some in the theater
community felt different.
Adam Rapp. who was
among the three finalists for
his play “Red Light in Win—
ter." said Tuesday that the
lack of a drama award was
like “a year without a Santa
Claus" for playwrights.
Rapp would have been
happy if either of the other fi-
nalists. Christopher Durang
for his play “Miss Wither-
spoon." or Rolin Jones for
“The Intelligent Design of
Jenny Chow." had won. But
Rapp added: “Not to name a
winner when there are three
plays worthy of being finalists
is a little obnoxious. I feel like
our vocation is a dying species
in America. We need everyone
supporting us as much as pos-
sible. Telling stories in the the-
ater is an important thing.
Playwrights are moving to the
West Coast to do TV and film
just to stay solvent."
Craig Lucas, whose book
for the Broadway musical
“The Light in the Piazza" was
believed to be in Pulitzer con-
tention. was highly vocal in
his disrespect for the Pulitzer
committee. saying that the
group “wouldn't know the
world if it ran over them with
a truck." However. he did say
that if he had won a Pulitzer.
he would have been “thrilled
for my bank account," and he
called the award important to
the potential financial success
of a playwright.
John Weidman. president
of the Dramatists Guild of
America, said winning a
Pulitzer can give a definite
boost to a young playwright’s
career and called the lack of
an award in 2006 “a negative
statement“ for theater.
Pulitzer prize administra-
tor Sig Gissler disagreed. “I’m
no expert on the theater busi-
ness. All I can say with some
confidence is this is not a de-
finitive comment on the state
of drama in America," he
said, citing the fact that the
Pulitzer board has named no
winner in drama 15 times in
the past and has done the
same “58 times altogether" in
various categories, including
fiction and public service.
This year. the Pulitzer
committee changed the time
parameters for a play to quali-
fy to the calendar year rather
than spring to spring. That
had some observers grum-
bling that worthy plays, in-
cluding David Lindsay-
Abaire’s "‘The Rabbit Hole,”
would have to wait until next
year to be eligible, because the
switch limited the eligibility
period to 10 months.
Linda Winer, the Long Is-
land, N.Y., newspaper News-
day‘s chief theater critic, led a
panel of five jurors who select-
ed the finalists and said that a
longer theater calendar still
would not have revealed a play
that “was jumping up and
down and saying, ‘I'm a
Pulitzer Prizewinning play.’ “
“ ‘The Rabbit Hole,’ “ she
said. “was a play I didn‘t like
anyway. I‘m on the record
with the fact that it was a play
that was beautifully per-
formed, but it was a movie of
the week."
