Former Gov. Wallace Wilkinson, UK's newest trustee, attended his first Board of Trustees meeting yesterday. He appointed himself to
the board in early December and was sworn in later that month.

Ex-governor draws fire
at 1st meeting as trustee

By GREGORY A. HALL
Associate Editor

Former Gov. Wallace Wilkinson
nearly made it through his first
Board of Trustees meeting unno-
ticed. But before he left, he became
the center of media attention re-
sponding to a faculty petition ask-
ing him to resign his board seat.

That led to a terse debate be-
tween Wilkinson and a political sci-
ence professor about teaching loads
and the former governor's self-
appointment.

Wilkinson appointed himself to
the board in December during the
last month of his term as governor.

Near the end of yesterday’s meet—
ing, faculty trustee Raymond Betts
presented a faculty petition asking
Wilkinson to remove himself from
the board.

Betts said the petition was signed
by more than half of the faculty in
the College of Ans and Sciences
and by faculty in the colleges of
Fine Arts and Communications.

The petition “rests upon the

premise that consideration and eval-
uation of the University should be
made on the basis of criticism, not
contention; historical assessment
not spontaneous assenion; contex-
tual evaluation, not capricious ex-
clamation,” Betts said.

Wilkinson attempted to be recog-
nized, but board Chairman Foster
Ockennan began his own speech
and then quickly adjourned the
meeting.

After the meeting, Wilkinson said
he wanted to inform Betts and Car-
olyn Bratt, the other faculty trustee.
that he “was well aware of some of
the faculties sentiments regarding
my appointment."

And then finally to say now
that we understand a little better -—
now that I understand —— what some
of the faculty think about my ap-
pointment and me and that they
have some inkling now about what
the rest of the Commonwealth per-
haps thinks about them that we can
understand each other, get that be-
hind us, and go ahead and begin the
debate about meaningful, substan-

Sigma Chi punished
for hazing incidents

By NICK COMER
Senior Staff Writer

Sigma Chi social fratemity has
been placed on a one-year proba-
tion after a University investigation
revealed several minor incidents of
hazing.

Dean of Students David Stock-
ham said the investigation conduct-
ed by his office revealed three vio-
Iations that were considered hazing.

Hazing is the forcing of pledges
to do abusive mental or physical
acts.

One of the incidents was a "work
session” in which Sigma Chi‘s
pledges came to the fraternity house
late at night and cleaned, Stockham
said. Sigma Chi President Steve
Staples said two of the sessions
were conducted following parties at
the fraternity house, 704 Woodland
Ave.

Jack Wheat, district supervisor
for Sigma Chi‘s national office,
said work sessions are acceptable if
active members participate.

Stockham also charged that the
pledges were quizzed and subjected
to “psychological pressure."

Sigma Chi‘s pledges regularly
are quizzed on such subjects as fra~
temity history, Staples said. He said
the quizzing sessions also took
place after a pany.

Wheat said such sessions follow-
ing a party were “inappropriate."

A third violation involved a “kid-
napping” in a residence hall dining
room. Staples said the incident oc-
curred during the fratemity's “walk-
out" during which pledges “kidnap"
active members and take them to
another Sigma Chi chapter.

Stockham characterized the inci-
dent as “inappropriate and disrup—
tive."

Wheat called the incidents “real
minor, technical violations of our
policy." He said, however, the Uni-
versity's investigation was thor-
ough and he concurred with its
findings.

Stockham said he did not consid-

Wilkinson said he would begin
the debate on higher education re-
form once he learned more of UK's
specifics.

“1 think I’m fairly well equipped
about the question generally," Wil-
kinson said. “But as soon as I Icam
what I feel I need to know about

this institution specifically, I'll be
in a position to speak out as you put
it."

Later, while Wilkinson was an-
swering a reporter's question, facul-
ty member Mark Peftlcy blurted
out: “That's offensive. That's really

Some trustees
lobby against
Scorsone bill

By GREGORY A. HALL
Associate Editor

There was no vote, but a number of UK trustees voiced objections yes-
terday to a bill going through the legislature that would cause trustees and
regents throughout the state to lose their seats on June 30.

Rep. Ernesto Scorsone’s (D-Lexington) bill passed the House on Friday.
It would set up a selection committee that would nominate three people for
every board seat, from which the governor would appoint one person.

The bill would also abolish the state Council on Higher Education and
the boards at the eight state universities.

UK board Chairman Foster Ockerrnan took issue with the bill in a more
than 10-minute speech at the end of the meeting. Afterward, trustees Wil-
liam Sturgill, former Gov. Wallace Wilkinson and Jack Foster all said they
oppose the measure.

Scorsone has praised the bill as a reform measure. Yesterday, Ockerman
and Wilkinson said legislators are calling good board members and pledg-
ing for their re-appointment.

“Calls are being made to certain members of boards saying that they are
‘good guys’ or that every effon is going to be made to retain you on the
board," Ockerman said. “And I know that for a fact."

“So the process has already begun that the legislation is designed to pre-
vent, and that's what's bothersome about the whole thing," Wilkinson said.

He said the screening committee does not takes politics out of the pro-
cess, but simply moves it to another arena.

“If in fact the screening committee as proposed by this legislation is sup
posed to be untouchable, how could members of the General Assembly
or the governor, quote, work to get somebody re-appointed?” Wilkinson
asked. So it‘s just simply a question of where the politics is going to
be, whether its going to be in the Govemor‘s Office or whether its going to
rest partially also in the General Assembly."

Ockennan criticized Scorsone and Gov. Brereton Jones, who also sup-
ports the bill.

“... The govemor is getting some bad advice," he said. “And it takes a
strong and courageous person to admit a mistake and correct the process
that has started, that may have gotten out of hand. And I want to tell
you that this bill would not have moved as fast as it did without the aid of
the governor."

Ockerrnan, 71, a former legislator and executive branch official, said
comments by Scorsone were unsubstantiated slurs against him and other
board members.

Scorsone “said that the system is riddled with corruption,” Ockerman
said. “I reminded him that we were a pan of the system and suggested that
he needs to clarify the matter as to exactly what he meant . I specifically
said that I thought he had impugned the integrity of a United States District
Judge (Henry Wilhoit), the Chief Justice of our Supreme Coun (Roben
Stephens), and you can go right on down the line and take us all in and say
that our integrity had been impugned."

Ockennan said although he asked Scorsone for an apology, Scorsone has
yet to do so.

“Well, needless to say, our conversation staned to deteriorate from that
point on," he said.

When contacted last night, Scorsone said there is no need to apologize.
and he has told that to Ockerman.

Scorsone claims he never said there was anything wrong with the UK
board. Also he said he “won’t apologize" for seeking a better system of ap-
pointment for regents and trustees.

Former board chairman William Sturgill said the bill leaves people With
the impression that current board members care only about politics and not
about institutions.

“To the contrary, people that I‘ve served with on this board are dedicated
and interested in education," Sturgill said. “In my instance, not only do I
give my time and energy to the University. I give my money. I gave the
University a building that houses the development effort.“

Lack of funds prompts
UK’s Nichols to leave

staffed for as long as Nichols
can remember, he said.

“I think one of the (main)
frustrations is that we can‘t see
all the students we want to,"
Nichols said.

With Nichols' absence, the
center staffs five full-time psy-
chologists, whereas UK should
employ 12 full-time psycholo
gists to meet the national aver-
age.

“The Counseling Center is on
the top of my list to add new
staff if and when money be-
comes available," said James
Kuder, vice chancellor for stu-
dentaffairs.

Kuder said he hopes to fill the
director‘s position late this se-
mester. Until then, Nikki Fulks,
associate director of the Coun-
seling and Testing Center, will
serve as interim director. Three
advanced doctoral students also

See NICHOLS. Page 5

After years of coping with a
small staff and limited funds, Mike
Nichols resigned Jan. 3 as the direc—
tor of the Counseling and Testing
Center for a job as a staff psycholo-
gist at Eastern State Hospital.

Nichols, who was the center’s di-
rector for seven years, resigned to
rid himself of administrative head-
aches and duties in hopes of work-
ing more with patients. Although
Nichols said he has been thinking
about changing jobs for a while, a
lack of funding for many UK pro-
grams may have sped up the pro-
cess.

“You sort of get used to it after
awhile," Nichols said. “Maybe it
tired me out a little quicker with
these budget cuts. Any growth in
any department is really minimal.“

Despite the recent budget cuts
and hiring freeze, the Counseling

Amelatod Prue

ANN ARBOR, Mich. —— Heis-
man Trophy winner Desmond Ho-
ward wiII forgo his final year of
collegiate eligibility at Michigan
and offer himself to the National
Football League or the Canadian
Football League.

“At this stage, it's a business,"
the All-American wide receiver
said at a news conference yester-
day. “In the business world, it’s
about marketability. You go to the
highest bidder."

Howard, 21, said the decision to
leave Michigan was a hard one. But
the 5-foot-9, 176-pound Howard
said he went as far as he could in
college football.

“As far as awards and accolades
are concerned. once you’ve won the
Heisman. then most people in col-
lege football will think you've done
it all," he said at the university's
Crisler Arena, his parents nearby. “I
think there's nothing else I could do
as far as individual accomplish-
ments would be concerned.

“All I would have been striving
for was to help Michigan win the
national championship."

Howard becomes the third Heis-

The

man winner in the last four years to
pass up a final year of eligibility.
Barry Sanders (1988) and Andre
Ware (1989) were the others, while
1990 winner Ty Detmer returned
for a final season at Brigham
Young.

Howard, who carried a 3.44
grade point average last fall, is
scheduled to graduate in May. Orig-
inally, Howard was adamant that he
would stay in school and pursue a
doctoral degree in social work.

Lately, since he won college foot-
ball's top honor, he has been eva-
sive about entering the NFL draft or
possibly playing in Canada as fel-
low speedster Rocket Ismail did af-
ter leaving Notre Dame.

He‘ll be a hot commodity in the
NFL.

“Howard is a first five-to-seven
pick," said John Butler, director of
player personnel for the Buffalo
Bills. “He’s what I call a 2-in-l. A
receiver with return abilities. He‘s a
game breaker and a game-changer."

Added an NFL general manager
who declined to be identified: “De‘
smond is a lot more complete
player than the Rocket. You know
he can play regularly as a receiver.
He’s very talented. He'll go high."

Howard said the decision to turn
pro was made with thought and
plenty of advice from his mentors.

“I've talked to numerous people,
from Coach Schembechler to my
parents to Rocket Ismail to Magic
Johnson,“ Howard said. “I know
that my parents are behind me a
hundred percent, and my coaching
staff has been very supportive of
me. So as long as my support sys-
tem is behind me. I feel as though
I‘m making the right decision.

“You really don’t want to just up
and jump into something brand
new, so it really was a difficult de-
cision. What made me decide is not
any one particular thing. It's a lot
of opinions and just critical outlook

upon things that have taken place in
my life."

Howard's impressive kick retum-
ing and pass receptions led the
Wolverines to the Big Ten champi-
onship and the Rose Bowl, where
they lost to Washington 34-14.
Michigan finished ranked No. 6.

In 1991, he caught 61 passes for
950 yards and 19 touchdowns, ran
12 times for 165 yards and two
more TDs, retumed 15 punts for
261 yards and a TD and returned 12
kickoffs for 373 yards and a TD.

In addition to the Heisman, he has
received the Walter Camp trophy.

The Calgary Stampeders hold the
Canadian Football League negotia-
tion rights to Howard. They said

they would consider making an of-
fer to him should he forgo his 1992
collegiate eligibility.

His prep career was as impressive
as his collegiate. He was the point
guard on the basketh squad that
made Ohio state finals in his junior
year.

He earned three letters in foot-
ball, three in uack and one in bas-
ketball. He received All-State and
All-American recognition in foot-
ball in 1987.

maine plans to run track at Michi-
gan in the fall.

American Indians plan Super Bowl protest

MINNEAPOLIS — After focus-

and will hold a rally before the
game Sunday.

UT hands
UK first
SEC loss

By JOHN KELLY
Assistant Sports Editor

Tennessee took advantage
of its 52 free-throw opportu-
nities late in the second half
to seal a 107-85 upset of No.
8 UK at Thompson-Boling
Arena in Knoxville, Tenn,
last night.

Six UK players fouled out
in the waning minutes as the
Vols continued to add points
to a lead that reached as high
as 21 points. Unranked Ten-
nessee became the first team
to reach the century mark
against UK this season while
handing UK its first South-
eastern Conference Ioss of
the season.

UK kept it close most of
the way until the fouls began
to mount late in the second
half and UT continued to
convert its free-throws.

Mashbum fouled out in the
final three minutes, finishing
the game with a team~high 28
points. Senior Deron Feld-
haus, one the few Wildcat
players on the court at the
end, contributed 23 points.

Louisville, Ky., native Al-
Ian Houston led UT with 36
points.

‘Piano Lesson’ continues its national debut today

By JOHN DYER FORT
Assistant Arts Editor

Making its national touring de-
but, The Piano Lesson opened last
night at the Lexington Opera
House. Presented by the Broadway
Live Series, the performance was
the first since its boisterous Broad-
way run and will only run through
today, with a matinee performance
at 2 pm. and evening show at 8 pm.

The Piano Lesson is the lyrical,
dramatic tale of a black family and
its emotional legacy. In this drama,
a brother and sister are torn be-
tween their joint possession of a
family heirloom, a piano carved by
their grandfather. The piano repre-
sents both the rich history of their
African heritage and the scars left
behind from years of slavery —
scars that have taken generations to
heal.

Set in Pittsburgh in 1936, the
brother wants to sell the piano in or-
der to buy land in Mississippi
where his forefathers were slaves.
For him, the piano represents a
chance to advance himself in a
white world. His sister, however,
strongly opposes giving up the heir-
loom. knowing its priceless value as

a hand-carved genealogical link to
their heritage. In the course of Pia-
no, the two are forced to examine
their own feelings and values be
fore they can face each other and
agree on the fate of the piano.

Beginning at the Yale Repertory
Theater and ending in Broadway,
the team of playwright August Wil-
son and director Lloyd Richards
have claimed two Pulitzer Prizes,
two Tony awards and a slew of
prizes from critics since 1985.

The highly acclaimed Fences,
which opened on Broadway in
1987, has won the most awards in
Broadway history.

Their latest effort, The Piano Les-
son. hit Broadway in 1990 and won
the Drama Desk Award, the New
York Drama Critics’ Circle Award
and a Tony nomination as best play.
The Piano Lesson also won the Pu-
litzer Prize in 1990.

Fortner dean of the Yale School
of Drama, Richards launched pro-
gressive Afro-American theater in
1959 when he directed the first pro-
duction of A Raisin in the Sun. He
was nominated for the Tony Award
for Best Director for three of the
four Richards/Wilson collabora-
tions, receiving the award once for

Fences.

Teaming up with Wilson in 1984,
the two have single-handedly creat-
ed the "new black drama.” Like
their other joint efforts, The Piano
Lesson was refined on the road
from Yale to Chicago, San Diego,
Boston and Washington, DC, be-
fore appearing on Broadway.

Between San Diego and Los An-
geles, the play’s ending was re-
worked, causing The Los Angeles
Times to comment that “it is far
more frightening and satisfying."

After opening on Broadway. The
New York Times praised Piano for
its poetry and drama, remarking
“The central fact of black American
life —- the long shadow of slavery
— transposes the voices of Mr.
Wilson's characters to a key that
rattles history and shakes the audi-
ence on both sides of the racial di-
vide.”

The Piano Lesson will continue
with performances today at 2 and 8.
Tickets are $24 and $12 for the
matinee and $40 and $20 for the
evening performance. UK students,
staff and faculty are eligible for dis-
counts. For more information. call
233-3565.
