would be Bush‘s first known use of executive
privilege, a doctrine recognized by the courts to

that Bush make the privilege claim if a Republi»

' Donations to help future
Cawood Ledford scholars

By Andrea Ulide

ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR

Upon his retirement. UK sports commentator (‘awood
Ledford announced the birth of a scholarship in his name.
one that will continue to live on even after his death Wednes-
day at age 75.

The Cawood Ledford Scholarship Fund began in 1992
with the proceeds Ledford had from his lifetime activities.
The scholarship aids athletes who have finished their athlet-
ic eligibility but have not received a degree.

The athletes can return after pursuing a sports career.
and have the option to work to pay for schooling until a de-
gree is achieved. Common work projects include working for
UK Athletics and community outreach projects,

The scholarship is an endowment fund and its interest is
used to help the athletes. said Bob Bradley of [7K Athletics.
He said the fund is the only of its kind for UK sports.

The amount of money assessed to students depends on
their needs. and athletes from any sport are eligible. James
Blackburn. Sonny Collins and Steve Hricenak were all UK
athletes who were able to attain their degrees under the
scholarship.

Kathy DeBoer. a Senior Associate Athletic Director. said
Ledford cared deeply about UK and the students.

"Cawood was very. very close to our program and not
only tremendously interested in what kids were doing on the
court. but how they were doing in the classroom." DeBoer
said.

Friends of Ledford conﬁrmed he started radiation and
chemotherapy treatment for cancer last December. Within
that time. DeBoer said Ledford spoke with his wife. Frances.
and decided any donations after his death would go toward
the scholarship fund.

DeBoer said Ledford worked to gain support for the
scholarship whenever possible.

“He felt that the athletes who competed here (at UK)
gave a tremendous amount to the university." she said.
"Ledford decided to give back to them."

Donations made will go directly to the scholarship fund.
The larger the fund gets. the more scholarships may be allots
ted. DeBoer said her ofﬁce and other ofﬁces on campus are
already receiving a number of interested donors

Most of the donations. she said. have come from individ-
uals who had relationships
with Ledford. One donor. a
man from Michigan. began
making donations after listen
ing to Ledford during UK bas-
ketball games on the radio.
