Delaware committee to interview
University leaders about Roselle

By ELIZABETH WADE
Associate Editor

The University of Delaware pres-
idential search committee will be at
UK tomorrow to interview faculty
and students about UK President
David Roselle’s candidacy for the
position at their school.

“They called me and arranged a
meeting," said UK Faculty Senate
Chairman Don Leigh. “It’s a facul-
ty member. It's the chairman of the
search committee. A number of
Universities have contacted him
about the position of president. in
this case he agreed to be seriously
considered. He is an active candi-
date for this.”

Mary Hempel, University of Del-
aware director of information, said
last night that she was not aware of
any Delaware representatives com—
ing to Lexington.

“l have no information about
that," she said. “The trustee search
committee said they may have an
announcement tomorrow morning
about another candidate."

Joseph Duffey, chancellor of the
University of Massachusetts at Am-
herst; Catherine Lyall, executive
vice president of the University of
Wisconsin system; and Marguerite
Ross Barnett, chancellor of the
University of Missouri at St. Louis
already have been interviewed for
the Delaware position.

UK spokesman Bernie Vonde-
rhcide said Roselle, who was in
San Diego yesterday, had no com-
ment about the position and that
any statements should come from
the University of Delaware.

Roselle told some members of
the faculty Senate Tuesday that he
has become increasingly frustrated
with state leaders’ attitudes reward
funding higher education.

James Applegate, a UK professor
of communications, said if the state
does not receive more funding in
the 1990 legislative session, Ro‘
selle may decide to go to a univer-
sity that receives better funding.

“1 think it depends on the signals
he gets from the legislature. if he

Lohman urges
SGA senators
to attend rally

By MICHAEL L. JONES

UK President David Roselle “has
done more for this institution than
anyone in its history," Student
Government Association President
Sean Lohman told the SGA Senate
at its meeting last night.

Lohman urged the senators to at-
tend a pro-Roselle rally at 5 pm.
today in front of the Administration
Building. The rally is in reaction to
reports that Roselle is seriously
considering leaving UK if chosen
president of the University of Dela-
ware next month.

“Hopefully we can sway him to
stay," Lohman said. “We need to
do all that we are going to do this
week and next We can let every-
one know this is a big concern to
UK, the city and the state.”

Lohman said that Roselle is only
“throwing balls in the air" and has
not made a decision whether to
leave to UK.

Lohman told the senators that he
was contacted by Delaware’s presi-
dential search committee and they
want to interview him about Ro-
selle. Lohman said that Delaware
officials are not going to make a
recommendation until the end of
December.

“This is very important.” Loh-
man said. “He is our key lobbyist."

College of Engineering Senator
Mike Bowling said that “there is

does decide to leave it’ll be because
despite his best efforts he hasn’t
gotten the help to move the Univer-
sity forward," Applegate said. “If
mediocrity is the message, he prob-
ably will think about taking advan-
tage of the opportunity to leave.”

Applegate said many UK faculty
members are frustrated with the
state’s seeming hesitancy to in-
crease funding to higher education.

“The state is in need of a fairer
and higher level of taxing. We’re
taxing on a political level,” Apple-
gate said. “You get what you pay
for. The ball is in Frankfort‘s court,
not just for Dr. Roselle but for the
University of Kentucky. it's all
rooted in whether the state provides
resources to compete with class one
institutions or recede into back wa-
ters."

UK Student Government Asso~
ciation President Sean Lohman said
yesterday that UK would suffer if
Roselle left. Lohman sairl that law—
makers need to “make an invest-
ment to make UK a quality institu-
tion that Roselle would be proud
of."

“We need to give Roselle a bird-
get he can work with and get back
to education and not looking for
money," Lohman said. “He’s done
a fantastic job. We cannot lose him.
In order for him to stay. we need to
get more money.”

State Rep. Ernesto Scorsone, D~
75th, said if Roselle leaves UK, it
probably would not have a signifi-
cant impact on lawmakers” deci-
sions to fund higher education.

“I think it’d be a disaster if he
left,“ Scorsone said, whose district

Rally today
to demonstrate
UK support

for president

By TONJA WILT
Campus Editor

A rally will be held today
at 5 pm. in front of the Ad-
ministration Building to en
courage UK President David
Roselle to remain at UK.

Roselle, who is a candi-
date for the presidency of the
University of Delaware, told
several members of the law].
ty Senate that he is becoming
discouraged with the state’s
lack of funding for higher ed-
ucation.

Student Government Asso-
ciation President Sean Loh-
man called an emergency
meeting of the student organ—
ization President’s Round
Table to discuss the plans for
today’s rally.

“It is really important that
the students, faculty, staff
and the entire University
community let Dr. Roselle
know how much he means to
us," Lohman said after the
meeting. “We don’t realize
how much he has done for
us. We owe it to him to show
him our appreciation."

Although the rally will fo-
cus on Roselle, organizers
said they also will stress the
need for the state to ade-
quately fund higher educa—
tion.

“Another reason is to let
the political legislature know
that we need more funding
and more importantly let the
governor know,” Lohman

Staff reports

UK President David Roselle
was honored for his use of infor-
mation technology in higher ed-
ucation.

Roselle was given the 1989
CAUSE Recognition Award for
institutional Leadership at the
national conference of CAUSE.
a professional association for
computing and information tech-
nology in San Diego.

The CAUSE award includes a
$1,500 contribution to UK,
which Roselle has designated to
UK's general scholarship fund.

Roselle was cited for bringing
national attention to UK by allo-
cating resources for major pro-
jects dealing with general-
purpose computing, communica-
tions, microcomputers. super-
computing and administrative
information systems.

The association also said that
Roselle has become a highly vis-
ible and active advocate for the
application of information tech-
nology in higher education
through his many speaking on-
gagements and participation on

national committees.

Since Roselle became UK’s
president in I987, the Universi-
ty has installed a supercomput~
er, increased mainframe com-
puting capacity fivefold,
upgraded networks and quadru-
pled the number of network
connections. UK also has auto-
mated the student registration
process and improved student
access to computers.

To underscore the importance
of computing and communica-
tions, Roselle initiated manage‘
ment changes that included the
creation of the new position of
vice president for infomiation
systems, which is held by Eu-
gene Williams.

Underlying the computing
and communications improve-
ments at UK is the philosophy
that technology should not be an
end in itself, but rather should
be used to support the overall
educational. research and ser-
vice mission of the university,
Williams said.

ally since 1980.

Students must begin to lobby
Wilkinson, lawmakers say

President David Roselle told \lll-
dents and legislators at Ll l'iicstlav
meeting at the Student Center.

“The state has done a poor Job,
frankly, of keeping up with its
share of the bargain and the \III-
dents have ti right to be angry. they
really do," Roselle said.

Roselle said students have done
their part financing higher educa-
tion by paying increased tuition.
and therefore the state must .ide-
quately fund it.

Students met ‘-\llll eight state
representatives from Central Kin
lucky to discuss what can lie dime
to ensure that adequate funding i.
allocated for the state's eight lilll
versities and 14 community collcc
es.

Legislators said students should
take an old-fashioned approat h .llli'.
write letters to state lLlWlll‘tll'u‘ix to
drum up support for higher cdiita
tion.

“Never underestimate the impat'.
you can have by sitting down and

Claiborne brought respect back to UK football

In one quick statement, Jerry
Claiborne was not the UK football
coach any longer.

The man that had brought the
football program of his alma matter
from the ruins is gone. The man
with the morals and integrity of
five men is gone.

No more Claiborne.

While some fans are rejoicing
with Claibome‘s retirement, true
Wildcat fans are in a state of sorrow
and shock. Make no mistake, the
program will miss Claiborne.

As fans‘ statements on call-in
shows got worse and worse, all
they did was fuel the belief that
most people who call into these
shows are ignorant.

And UK Athletics Director CM.
Newton summed it best when he
said: “Being anonymous is a won-
derful thing. How many times in
our life wouldn't all of us like to
be anonymous.”

Anyone who believes that Clai-
borne did not work minor miracles
with this program is dead wrong.

 

Bmw
REEVES

 

His record on the field was not
that good, but there is more to col-
lege football than your won-loss
percentage. By turning the UK pro-
gram into one of the country’s
most respected, Claiborne per-
formed the minor miracle.

But I guess his downfall was that
he did not perform the major mira-
cle — a championship caliber team
without cheating.

Claibome’s teams were able to
compete with the Southeastern
Conference “Big dawgs” without
cheating. The Cats may not have
won, but they competed with quali-
ty people —— ones who went to
class, graduated and were successful
outside of football.

For that reason, Claiborne was a

winner in the truest sense of the
word.

At Tuesday's news conference.
Claiborne looked like a man humil-
iated and sorry that he had let the
people of Kentucky down because
his teams had not won.

For that, the people of the com-
monweaith should feel ashamed. To
put such pressure on a man with
his integrity is pitiful. Absolutely
pitiful.

The people of this state should
commend Claiborne, not degrade
him.

Claiborne stood his ground. He
would not compromise his integri-
ty one bit for a win or two. Don’t
get me wrong, winning was high
on his list of priorities, but it was
not No. 1. Making his players bet-
ter people were his main objective.

“If the rules did not make our
players better people, then we
change the rules," Claiborne said
Tuesday.

People who do not like Clai-
borne are people who do not know

him. Everyone who knows the
coach may not agree with every-
thing he did, but they respect his
decisions.

Before judging Claiborne, re-
member what the football program
was like before he arrived. Fran
Curci ran a program about as bad
as possible.

Curci's players were listed in the
police blotter on a recurring basis.
Curci’s players were rarely seen in
class or being honored at gradua-
tron.

Sure a couple of Curci’s teams
had good years, but that was later
clouded by the fact that he broke
rules and was humbled by the
NCAA with probation.

The fact is, Curci’s program was
a disgrace to UK and Kentucky.
Just like Barry Switzer, Curci de-
cided that wins were his top priori-
ty. Rules and the future of his
players did not matter.

Curci or Claiborne? Which

would you pick?

To sum it up: Curci displayed
the morals of a weasel.

The problem now is who will be
Claibome’s successor? Newton said
that he would “certainly take 3 Jerry
Claiborne clone."

Are there any Claiborne clones
willing to become his successor?
That’s a big question. Newton
thinks he will be able to find one
though.

Names being tossed around are
the University of Louisville's Ho-
ward Schnellenberger, the Universi-
ty of Pittsburgh’s Mike Gottfried
and Eastern Kentucky University‘s
Roy Kidd.

All three were candidates when
Claiborne was hired in December
1981.

Gottfried is the logical choice for
the job. He is respected throughout
the college football community for
rebuilding the Pitt program, both
on and off the field.

Barry Reeves
Sports Editor

I was able to watch him work
miracles with the Murray State
University program when he was
there in the late 19703 to early
'803. He is young and quite ener-
getic. He’s far more likely to re-
main in coaching much longer than
Schnellenberger or Kidd.

He has shown the discipline
needed to run a program the right
way. He suspended his top mnning
back, Craig Hayward, for three
games two years ago.

Another big advantage that Gott-
fried has is that he now has recruit-
ing connections in Pennsylvania
and New York ——- where big line-
men and linebackers usually are
found.

And finally, he is the best of
friends with UK basketball coach
Rick Pitino. Pitino would like
nothing more than for Gottfried to
come to UK. and so would 1.

Curry’s winning season stems tide of complaints from fans

By DAVID LEON MOORE
USA TODAY/Apple College
Information Network

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. —— Bill
Curry rises at 4:30 every morning.
Time to himself, for reflecting and
thinking clearly.

He calls it his “sanity time."

Things become less sane a little
later, when Alabama football fans

 

A MIDSUMJVIER NIGHT’S DREAM

begin to stir.

Boy, do they stir.

Of course, Curry, in his third,
and by far happiest, year as the Ala-
bama coach, knows all about that.
He’s survived a death threat, a brick
thrown through his office window,
plus innumerable angry letters and
phone calls demanding his firing.

Suddenly, however, it seems
Curry is an OK guy. Funny how

 

 

everything changes with a 10-0
record, a No. 3 national ranking
and, with a victory Saturday against
Auburn (8-2, No. 10), a shot at a
national championship.

Listen to the folks calling in to
his weekly radio show:

Caller: “This is Jim from Opeli-
ka, and I wouldjust like to say that
I apologize for not supporting you
from the beginning. I’m with you
now, and I’m sorry it took so
long.”

Curry: “No need to apologize,
Jim. The thing about our business
is you have to prove yourself."

It has not been easy.

Curry’s hiring in 1987 to replace
Ray Perkins was met with outrage
from Crimson Tide loyalists who
couldn’t believe a guy who had
never played for or coached under
demigod Bear Bryant, who turned
’Bama football into a religion,
would get the job.

They quickly mobilized.

There was a death threat aimed at
Curry, plus one for Joab Thomas.

. the then-school president who went
' out on a limb to hire a guy better

known for his playing career (a cen-
ter for Vince Lombardi’s Green Bay
Packers and Don Shula’s Baltimore

Colts) than his coaching career (31-
43-4 in seven years at Georgia
Tech).

A 7—5 record in 1987 calmed no
one.

Then came a homecoming loss
to Mississippi last year, and a
brick through his office window.

“It bothered my wife a lot, and it
bothered my mom.” Curry said. “I
guess it’s stupid, but it didn’t real-
ly bother me. 1 don’t know why."

Since then, Alabama has lost
just two games, finishing 9-3 last
season and going 10-0 so far this
year.

So, as Alabama fans nervously
await the Crimson Tide’s historic
first trip to Auburn, Ctirry is
breathing easier about his own fu-
ture.

Caller: “Coach. I was in your of-
fice some time ago and asked you
for an autographed picture. I just
want to say that it came. I began to
trust you when I got that picture."

Curry: “Glad you got it.”

At the beginning of the season,
Alabama pessimists — Curry calls
them “The Fellowship of the Mis-
erable" — figured they’d be run-
ning him out of town about now.

Bill Curry,

Alabama football coach
—

Nothing forecast a season like this.

Especially not when, early in the
season, quarterback Jeff Dunn and
top running back Murry Hill went
down with injuries.

But lightly regarded Gary Hol-
lingswonh stepped in at quarterback
and junior college transfer Siran
Stacy took over the running chores.
And in the fourth week something
strange and wonderful happened.

At Mississippi, the Tide got am-
bushed. Alabama trailed 21—0 just 7
1/2 minutes into the game.

What happened next, Curry says
“was the pivotal point of our sea-
son and the highlight of my 15
years in coaching."

Hollingsworth got hot. Alaba-
ma’s defense stiffened. The field
tilted the Tide’s way.

Curry said: “We were in a hostile
stadium against a hot team that was
beating us into the dirt. But 1 saw

ma 62, Mississippi 27.

Running off the field at halftime,
Curry bumped into Larry New, his
defensive line coach. “He‘s got
these tears in his eyes, and he says,
‘We got us a football team.‘ I said,
‘Yeah, we do.”

Three weeks later came a pivotal
victory at Penn State, when 6-7 de-
fensive end Thomas Rayam blocked
an 18-yard field goal in the final
seconds to preserve a 17-16 Alaba-
ma win.

Caller: “Coach Curry, I‘d like to
give a little credit to Thomas Ray-
am’s parents. You know, they real-
ly deserve credit, 'cause if Thomas
was 6-4 instead of 6-7, we'd be 7-1
right now ’sted of 8-0."

His biggest fault as the Alabama
coach is that he was never one of
Bryant’s boys.

Curry, 47, fashion model hand-
some, deeply religious, a bit of a
fitness freak, has always fought
long odds, starting his pro football
career as an undersized 20th-round
pick of the Packers.

“That was in 1965, and every
year since then, I’ve gone to work
not knowing if I’d have a job the
next year," he said. “So I don't feel
threatened.”

Former Alabama center Gaylon
McCollough, a Birmingham plastic
surgeon, said: “The average man
would not have been able to stand
up under the pressures that were put
upon Bill his first couple of years.
But what‘s happened to him at Ala-
bama is just another chapter in his
life. People have told him over and
over again that he couldn’t do
things and he’s proved them wrong.

I was unable to compile my Top
10 songs because I was at a con~
vention in New Orleans, so here it
IS.
The following are not necessarily
my favorite songs from the ’805,
i but I feel they best represent this
unpredictable and innovative decade.

The passing decade has been one
of the many changes in the music,
many of which are conspicuously
absent in the following list. It ig-
nores the hip-hop revolution,
leaves aside zydeco and the juju
music coming out of South Africa,
and fails to mention the rise to
prominence of such influential
black performers as Anita Baker and
the brothers Marsalis. What it does
attempt to do is give a different per-
spective than that presented by the
Kemel’s four critics, which while
valid seemed top heavy from the
latter portion of the decade.

So, I’m not refined, I’m not at-

what works for me. I'm a hard
