NCAA begins ‘official inquiry’ of UK basketball

NCAA looks into allegations
of UK recruiting violations

By (‘..\. [)l’.\.VE BONIFER
Editorial Editor

The news could not have been ZlDV
worse for UK fans at President
David Roselle-s Monday press cori—
terence

Roselle told about 20 reporters on
the 18th floor of the Patterson tiffice
Tower that he had received a letter
from S. David Berst. director of
NCAA enforcement. informing him
”it appears reasonable to expect"
assistant coach Dwane Casey sent
$1,000 to the father of recruit (Thris
Mills.

In addition, Berst told Roselle
other inquiries have been conducted
and UK should expect “approxi-
mately 10 other additional allega-
tions" handed down from the NCAA
within the next 30 days.

"From the beginning. our ()DJEC-
tive in this matter has been to deter
mine the validity of the allegation
and report to the NCAA," Roselle
said in a prepared statement. “We
will defend the basketball program
against any unfounded allegation.
but we will take full responsibility
for any wrongdoing judged to have
occurred."

The investigation stems from a
March 30 incident in which the hos
Angeles Daily News reported that
Casey sent a videotape and 20 $50
bills to Claud Mills in an Emery
overnight express package.

Casey and his attorney, Joe Hill
Campbell, have denied the allega-

tion Neither could be reached for
comment

liexmgton attorney James Park
Jr. who has headed the l'iiivers‘ity
investigation of the incident. has
"rather thoroughly” investigated
the Mills matter. Roselle said. and
will include his findings in a com-
prehensrve report issued to the
NCAA.

Roselle said he did not know what
the other allegations were about. but
he knew the NCAA was “rather
thoroughly, in fact. investigating our
program in conSiderable detail and I
didn‘t know what to expect exactly."

If found guilty. UK could face sev-
eral penalties. including possible
probation, loss of scholarships and
teleVision appearances.

(Thris Mills would be ineligible to
play basketball at UK. However. he
would be eligible to play at another
school. Both (‘hris and (‘laud Mills
could not be reached for comment.

Charles Smrt of the NCAA said
Monday he did not know when the
investigation of the basketball pro-
gram would be completed oecause
“each case has its unique situation."

Although Smrt would not comment
specifically on the investigation. he
said: “We don't make an allegation
unless we think there is some suffi-
cient evrdence to back it up. ”

UK coach Eddie Sutton. who was
out of town on a recruiting trip. said
in 3 released statement that he was
not involved in or aware of any

All-Star Michael Jordan to open Bluegrass Games Friday

By CATHERINE MONZI NGU
Staff Writer

NBA All-Star Michael Jordan will
officially open the fourth edition of
the Bluegrass State Games Friday
night by lighting the ceremonial
flame at Commonwealth Stadium.

Marianne Blodgett. media coordi-
nator for the Bluegrass State
Games. said, “Hopefully, Michael
Jordan will give a message to the
athletes."

Jordan. a member of the Chicago
Bulls was named Most Valuable
Player of the NBA last season He is

known for his strong anti-drug
stance
He l5 “3 model athlete and per

son." Blodgett said.

Kentucky Lt. Gov Brereton Jones
and Lexington Mayor Scotty Baesler
will welcome the participants with
brief speeches

There will be "a lot of snappy en—
tertainment." Blodgett said.

This will be the fourth year of the
Bluegrass State Games. which was
introduced by Martha Layne Collins
during her term as governor.

 

Blodgett said the purpose of the
games is “to provide Kentuckians of
all ages and skill levels an opportu-
nity to participate and to showcase
their talents."

Since 1985. the Bluegrass State
Games has grown from six to 18
events. About 10.000 athletes, ages 4
to 88, representing 111 counties. are
scheduled to participate this year.

Fred Hynson. executive director

of the Games. attributed the in-
crease in participation to greater op-
portunities for amateur athletes and
the growing popularity of amateur
sports.

“Amateur sports are a coming
thing on a national basis. " he said.

Blodgett said instead of adding
more events to the games this year,
“(we are going! to analyze and per

feel what we have before we go any
further.“

There were no preliminaries or re
gional events this year because
planning for the games did not begin
until April

About 1.174 athletes and 188 teams
are returning competitors, Blodgett
said. Of those, 747 individuals and 54
teams are past medal winners.

The events at the games include

archery. equestrian. soccer. and
track and field. There also is a divi-
sion for disabled athletes.

Also on Friday. the Governor's
Pacesetters. athletes over 55 years
old. will be walking in Frankfort.

The Bluegrass State Games run
through July 31. The opening cere
mony is 8 pm. Friday at Common-
wealth Stadium. Admission is free.

Children learn facts about space travel at camp

By CATHERINE MONZINGO
Staff Writer

Forty students from the Universi~
ty of Kentucky‘s Gifted Student Pro
gram returned to Lexington two
weeks ago after attending the US,
Space Camp at the NASA Space and
Rocket Center in Huntsville, Ala,

“The schedule of events ensures
that active minds have an active ex-
perience at Space Camp." said
Betty Langley, director of the Gifted
Student Program at UK. “From

sunrise to sunset. participants are
presented with a variety of thought-
provoking activities — from model
rocketry and space station design to
shuttle mission simulations - that
challenge their minds in a relaxed.
fun atmosphere.“

Depending on their grade level.
students participated in Space Camp
tgrades fifth through seventh; or
Space Academy (grades eight
through 10th ) ,

At the Space Camp. campers
worked with model rockets, handled

various equipment, experienced the
zero gravity of space and engaged in
a practice mission.

Brooks Hefner. a Space Camper,
did very well on his model rocket,
receiving a perfect score in competi-
tion.

Hefner said the rockets were
graded on “safety. first~stage sepa-
ration. parachute coming out. and
parachute opening. “

Hefner also put on the top half of a
space suit. “it was hot,“ he said. "It
was hard to move around in. “

Ellen Carr, another Space Camp-
er, said the Moon Walk Trainer. a
device which simulates walking on
the moon. was like ”a little bicycle
seat attatched to a spring. “

On the first day of Space Acade-
my. students received their assign-
merits.

Throughout the week. they pre~
pared for the missions on Thursday
and Friday.

During the graduation ceremony.
students received awards and certif-
icates and their Space Camp wings.

tion from the normal pattern of the
heartbeati here in Lexington since
his potassium has been corrected
and we really don't find any evi-
dence of a cardiovascular factor
that should prevent Ed from playing
professional basketball."

Doctors thought that a low level of
potassium in Davender's body
caused the extra beats.

But after the potassium level was
corrected. the Brooklyn native was
given a clean bill of health — and a
chance to get back with the Bullets.

Davender said he was glad the
condition of his health was settled.
but the incident still shook him up.

“Something like that, it can really
scare somebody if you don‘t know
what was going on, which I didn't,"
Davender said.

DeMaria said there were several
contributing factors to Davender's
increased heart rate.

“You might ask why would a
healthy young man have a low po
tassium and I don‘t know the exact
answer to that," he said. “But Ed
was trying to work himself into
shape before going to summer camp
and the temperature was very, very
high. , ,

“I think. in retrospect. Ed feels
his dietary regimen wasn‘t as
nutritional as it may have been."

Davender said that his diet consise
ted of “a lot of fast foods, things like
that 77 but since the incident that
happened my diet has been real well
and I'm going to make sure it con-
tinuestobethatway "

Davender was drafted 60th in the
third round of the NBA's June 28
draft. Davender was confident about
his future Wth the Bullets. saying
that Washington coach Wes L'nseld

would give him a fair chance to
make the team's roster.

“I think I have just as good a
chance as anybody they drafted. I'm
the only point guard that they
drafted, and they have only one le-
gitimate point guard on the team,"
Davender said. “They have a thing
there saying Washington has a youth
movement. And I‘m only 22. So
that‘s working my way too.“

DeMaria indicated that he and UK
team physician Dr. Michael Ray
had tested athletes before the season
for the last few years and he had de-
tected an “insignificant“ problem
with Davender‘s heart two years
ago.

"Two years ago when I first saw
Ed. we determined an insignificant
amount of leakage of one of the
heart valves.“ DeMaria said. “It‘s a
very tiny amount not even enough
to result in a heart murmur.
That‘s really all we found in him.
It's not a significant problem. He

played very well for two years Wllh-
out any difficulties. "

Davender said he was told to light-
ly change his diet, including potassi-
um-rich food like, “banannas. when
I get through playing leave the soda
alone and drink some Gatorade.
Lots of fruits, things like that."

Davender said he wasn't sure if he
could report to the Bullets summer
camp at Princeton. NJ.

"I haven't played in a week and a
half." he said. "It would be kind of
silly to go there and not play the
way I normally play and not be in
tip-top shape, going in there and
playing against other rookies
free agents and plus some NBA
players. l can't go up there hall‘-
steppin.‘ ”

DeMaria said Davender's medical
records “’1“ be forwarded to the Bul-
lets and it is unlikely there will be
additional tests performed by the
NBAteani.

Summer cinema roundup
‘Midnight Run,’ ‘Wanda’ are hits; ‘Caddyshack II’ bombs

 

‘Midnight Run‘

 

By LAl'RA Sl'T'I‘ON
Contributing Critic

In a summer where action movies
have expired at the box office long
before their life expectancies. “Mid—
night Run" may restore some much-
needed credibility to this maligned
genre.

The film, by “Beverly Hills Cop"
director Martin Brest, stars Robert
DeNiro as Jack Walsh. a tough.
wise-cracking cop turned bounty
hunter Walsh is hired by a flaky
bail bondsman to find an embezzler
who‘s jumped bail. Walsh must pick
up the crook in New York City and
return him to Los Angeles within
five days For 3100.000. the bonds~
man calls it “an easy gig a mid—
night run ”

The criminal. however. is played
by Charles Grodin. the surliest. whi-
niest star since Morris the Cat. As
Jonathan Mardukas. an accountant
turned-white-collar crook. Grodin
makes the crosscountry journey
less than pleasant for DeNiro's char-
acter. but all the more humorous for
us

When he‘s not pouting or taunting
Walsh for his lack of bounty-hunter
prowess ("You couldn't even deliver
a bottle of milkf'U. Mardukas. alias
the Duke. nags his captor about his
poor eating and smoking habits and
shamelessly pries into his personal
life

Although Walsh is generally easy"
going. his sense of humor begins to
wane. espeCIally' when Mardukas
dramatically lets his fear of flying
be known right before their flight to
Los Angeles leaves

Because of the disturbance. they

are escorted off the aircraft Mardu
kas smirks all the way to the bus
station cominced he can. gnc his
captor the slip

To complicate matters for Walsh

he and Mardukas are being pursued
by the FBI. some bumbling niohr
types and a rival bounty hunter de-
termined to get III on the action

Although “Midnight Run" has the
dubious distinction of being labeled
"the best buddy film since ‘The
Sting.' “ action lovers need not de~
spair. for there‘s plenty of it here
DeNiro‘s head is nearly blown off in
the first scene. if for no other reason
than to assure us that it is an action
mowe.

Still. the spirit and much of the
humor of this film lies with the
“friendship" that develops between
captive and captor while on the
road.

Much about the men and their
lives is revealed Both have fought
selling out for the sake of principles
In their own socially unacceptable
ways. they see themselves as ethi-
cally superior to the powers that
rule

lt is revelatiom like this that fill
the plot with depth and texture.

 

 

 

 

making the film far superior to any
action movie around. ln spite of a
few surprisingly tender moments.
Mardukas probably sums up the
relationship best when he sardoni-
cally muses. “I think under different
circumstances . , . you and I would
havestillhatedeach other."

The acting is just as impired as
the plot. You know DeNiro isn't tak‘
ing the role too seriously while
watching him try to apprehend Gro
din while standing inside a shower
stall. safe from Grodin's mongrel of
adog.

It is Grodin‘s acerbic wit. howevv
er. that really makes this film work
Whether he‘s being shot at by thugs
or handcuffed to a mum. Grodin
manages to whine and wince his
way through it I hope this film
brings him many more chances to
display his cranky brand of humor

"Midnight Run." rated “."R is

‘Caddyshack II‘

the construction business. i] guess
in addition to not putting any jokes
in the movie. they didn‘t have time
to re-write Dangerfield's role. i

In an effort to fit in. Hartounian's
daughter asks him to join the coun-
try club. Naturally. the snobs reject
him.

Hoping to get even, Hartounian
buys the club and turns it into a
giant amusement park.

Unlike the original. there’s none of
the spontaneous wit or ad-libbed mo-
ments when people like Bill Murray,
Chase. Dangerfield and the late Ted
Knight were cut loose to create
comic chaos.

Part of that is due to the sequel's
cast. Mason. like Dangerfield. is
finding success late in his career.
but this film won‘t do for him what
“Caddyshack” did for Dangerfield.
A lot of unemployed actors. includ-
ing Dyan Cannon. Robert Stack and
Randy Quaid. picked up paychecks
to see how far down into the dumps
they could send their careers.

Chase sleepwalks through his
cameo role. displaying his trade»
mark bumblings and smart-alecky'
quips Dan Aykroyd is just down»
right embarassing as a mentally
unstable. whiney ex-Marine hired by
the snobs to knock off Mason. He
seems to have prepared for the role
by downing a six-pack and a can of
helium

"Caddyshack 11." rated "PC," is
now playing at North Park and
Crossroads cinemas.

Arts Editor

At the end of the trailer for "Cad-
dyshack." a mice-over by Chevy
Chase promised the mowe was
“even better than 'Caddy‘shack ll ' "

Well. If Chase is ever in need of a
second job (and he might be after
appearing in this sequeli he could
surely find a job as a psychic

To borrou a golf term. the makers
oi "Caddyshzick II" should have de
clared a niulligan and started over.
or better yet. never have stepped up
toihe tee

In addition to luring Chase back.
they also got the originals director
and cowriter. Harold Ramis. to help

write it Ramis has done better

Hour." “Ghostbusters"i and he

should have known by now that flat-

‘A Fish Called Wanda'

 

By ROB SENG
Arts Editor

About a year ago. a rumor circu»
lated that Monty Python‘s John
(‘leese was considering retiring
from show busmess because he felt
he couldn't make people laugh any-
more

Thankfully. (‘leese stuck around
and made “A Fish (‘alled Wanda."
which. thanks to his bright and witty
script. may well be the funniest
comedy of the year.

Jamie Lee Curtis and Kevin Kline
play Wanda and Otto. an American
couple who plan a jewelry robbery
with the aid of a proper English gen-
tlemen. George. and his stuttering.
animal-loving henchman, Ken. who
is played by Python member Mi-
chaelPalin.

In an attempt to clair" all the jew-
els for themselves, Wanda and Otto
turn George over to the. police.
George. however, has prepared for
the doublecross and given the key to
the safe to Ken. who hides it in his
fishtank.

Feigning innocence. Wanda tries
to find the location of the safe from
George. When he reveals nothing,
she goes after George's lawyer. Ar-
chie Leach 1Cleese). thinking
George will tell Archie where the
jewels are during their pre-trial con~
ferences

Jamie Lee Curtis stars with (from left) Michael Palin. John Cieese
and Kevin Kline in the comedy "A Fish Called Wanda."

Archie, always the proper En-
glishman. resists Wanda‘s amorous
advances at first. but eventually
gives in to the affair. (After seeing
Curtis in numerous skimpy outfits.
what man wouldn‘t?)

Eventually. Leach becomes in-
volved in the caper. which results in
a climactic chase scene involving all
the principals: Ken is after Otto for
eating his goldfish. Otto and Wanda
are after the jewels and Leach is
after both Wanda and the elusive
jewels.

Although the humor owes more to
Chaplin and Warner Brothers car»
toorLs than Python. the movie is fur‘
ther helped by a cast which ably
plays off each other and combines

all of their characters' traits into a
comedic whole

As a cunning vixen who gets
turned on by foreign languages. Cur-
tis oozes sexuality, while proving to
be a capable comedienne.

Kline plays Otto with the right
amount of machismo bravado. Palin
hears the brunt of much of the mov-
ie‘s questionably sadistic humor. but
is allowed to gain revenge at the
end.

But it's Cleese‘s show all the way,
and. even though he plays the
straight man for much of the film.
its his jokes that are bouncing all
over the place.

"A Fish Called Wanda," rated
“R. " is not yet playing in Lexington.
