Stories like Tyrone Johnston‘s can scare the beje-
sus out of white men.

Johnston, who is white, applied for an internship
in the graphics department of USA Today. The
1992 UK graduate said he received a letter from the
paper saying he was not selected, that the position
he was applying for was only open to minorities.

Months later when he applied to the paper for a
job, he said the rejection letter he received assumed
he was black.

“What ticked me off was that they said if I was a
minority to apply for a minority internship," he
said.

Johnston said he's not bitter about the incident
and concedes that he was probably not qualified
enough to work at the nation’s leading daily news-
paper.

Still, stories like his spread through the ranks of
college-age white men, sometimes kindling a fear.
substantiated or not, that it is European-American
males who will be operating at a disadvantage in
trying to find jobs or enter graduate school.

In a strange reversal of history, many whites, par-
ticularly white men, believe they will be slighted,
devalued, because businesses and universities are
more interested in something called diversity.

The relationship between this perception and real-
ity is somewhat murky. For every rumored story of
“reverse discrimination" there is a white male occu-
pying a govemor‘s mansion (46 out of 50). a Senate
seat (90 out of 100) or a corporate executive’s of-
percent, according to one study).

That doesn‘t make the
perception or the fear any

 

 
 

. less real. Indeed, white

' discrimination suits in
flelq' The 1993, more than ever be-
majority Of fore, according to the

peOple In the ploymentCommission.

Quinton Dickerson, a
political science junior out
of school this semester
working for a political
campaign. said he is ar-

ing policies that favor mi-
news exE’t!’ norities. If everyone is
, equal under the law, he

said, “How do we go about explaining why (minori-
ties) need preferential treatment?“

Wanda Lloyd, a senior editor at USA Today, said
there are good reasons why many of the daily‘s in-
ternships are only open for minorities. She said gen-
erally 10 of the 15 intems the paper accepts each
year will be minority applicants.

“We’re trying to level the playing field. The ma-
jority of people in the business are non-minorities,
are white," she said.

She said industry studies show that non-whites
make up only 10.5 percent of the newsroom staffs
of daily newspapers, while the 1990 Census tallies
their number at 24.4 percent of the
country‘s population.

She said adding women, blacks,
Hispanics, Asian-Americans or Am-
erican Indians to the paper‘s payroll
makes good business sense. “If we don t
attract those readers to our newspaper,
pretty soon w 're not going to have

OUT IN THE COLD?: Concerns from white males about institutional bias against them are
calling into question the legitimacy of minority and female recruitment policies.

White males challenge
race, sex-based policies

”It shows the ugly side of affirmative action." he
said, adding that minorities have as much access to
jobs as anyone.

“All the opportunities are there for them,“ he said.
“I don't think that hiring people who are less quali-
fied just because they’re a minority isjustified."

Bill George, UK associate director for Human Re-
sources, said businesses only want qualified job ap-
plicants. They have gtxid reasons for seeking to vary
the sex, and ethnic and racial background of em-
ployees, he said.

“It‘s good business for us to want a diverse work
force“ because of the different perspectives, styles
and approaches possible with employees from dif-
ferent backgrounds, George said. “The University
benefits by a larger, more diverse outlook."

George oversees University hiring zutd said UK
doesn’t operate on a quota system. He described af-

hiring practices.

with a readership of minorities and women,“ George

The Battle of the Barns
Some researchers feel

left out of farm debate

 

By Don Puckett
Senior Staff Writer

 

As the struggle between UK and Frankfort over the
fate of Coldstream Farm heats up, animal studies re-
searchers think their department has been left out in the
cold.

UK has used Coldstream, which is a few miles north
of campus, for animal and agricultural research since
the 1950s The UK Board of Trustees voted in 1987 to
develop a research park at Coldstrearn and made plans
in 1991 to move the animal studies department to UK's
Pin Oak Farm in Woodford County.

But to date. no animal research facilities have been
built at Pin Oak.

“Pin Oak is an excellent farm, but it really doesn‘t
have any buildings that we can use as research facili-
ties for any of the animals we have,“ said Guy Kira-
cofe, who is director of UK‘s animal studies depart-
ment.

In the latest budget request, UK asked the state for
$12.5 million to implement “phase one" of Pin Oak‘s
improvement. Gov. Brereton Jones has said Ken-
tucky’s General Fund will not be large enough this
year to pay for new facilities at Pin Oak.

Instead, Jones suggested UK sell Coldstream or
work with private developers to build the research
park. The revenue generated from Coldstream’s devel-
opment could then be used to pay for Pin Oak im-
provements and offset other educational expenses,
Jones said.

UK President Charles Wethington said Jones‘ idea
runs counter to the Board of Trustees' wishes for UK
to develop and maintain control of the Coldstrearn
Farm research park.

“Phase one" would prepare Pin Oak for beef and
dairy cattle research only. Research also currently is
conducted with poultry, swine and sheep at Cold-
stream.

Animal studies faculty also say their current research

Presidents getting
used to conflicts
with governors

By Mark R. Chellgren
Associated Press

FRANKFOR’I‘. Ky. — When Wallace Wilkin-
son was govcmor, he called university presidents
“crybabies.”

Gov. Brereton Jones also gave the university
presidents sitting in the House gallery the rhetor-
ical back of his hand
during his State of the
Commonwealth
speech three weeks
ago.

In both instances, it continued a tradition of
gubernatorial frustration with higher education.

Sen. Mike Moloney, D-Lexington. the chair-
man of the Senate Appropriations and Revenue
Committee, has seen the constemation grow in
the govemor's office.

And he has seen the universities move beyond
the executive branch for aid and comfort

“Individually and collectively, the university
msidents not only have a constituency, but they
have respectability," Moloney said.

“And they have historically not been afraid to
question a governor or a governor's authority.
And that’s something that most governors don’t
like to have happen."

The presidents are a bit more politic when

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A few
months after he called on higher-
education leaders to reduce
program duplications, Gov.
Brereton Jones gave his
support for creating a four—
year engineering program
at Paducah Community
College.

Jones insists there was no
contradiction with his pro-
posal last month to use as
much as $6 million in state
money to start the engineer-
ing program. fulfilling a
campaign pledge to Paducah com-
munity leaders.

“What I was referring to (last
fall) was expanding offerings that

 

were available elsewhere," Jones
told The Courier-Joumal in an in-
terview.

Although the University of
Louisville and UK offer undergrad-
uate engineering degrees,
there is no similar program
in western Kentucky, Jones
said.

“To say we don't have
adequate engineering edu-
cation in western Kentucky
and we‘re not going to have
it because we need to resist
expansion would be totally
illogical," Jones said.

But some legislators and
educators say Jones‘ plans for the
Paducah Polytechnic Institute con-
tradict his statements from last fall.

At that time, Jones called on the

Suspect sought

in 3 area assaults

 

By Lance Williams
News Editor

 

UK police report separate attacks
against three women on or near the
campus since last week. None of
the women were seriously injured.

Police say one person, who re-
mains at large, may be involved in
all of the alleged attacks. The sus-
pect is described in police reports
as a white man in his mid-203,
about six feet tall with a medium to
stocky build and short, dark blonde
hair.

According to witnesses. the as-
sailant was wearing different
clothes in each attack, ranging from
sweat pants to blue jeans. He also
was reported to be wearing and a
mold-colored warm-up jacket or a

red and blue nylon jacket.

In one of he incidents, a visiting
UK professor allegedly was at-
tacked from behind as she was
walking home on South Limestone
Street. A police report says the man
grabbed the professor by the neck
and said, “You know what I want.“

The woman began crying and the
man let her go, the report said. All
the assaults have come after dark.

UK police urge students to follow
safety precautions, including:

Do not go out alone at night.

-Always be aware of your sur-
roundings.

Don‘t feel awkward about look-
ing over your shoulder to see who
may be behind you.

~If you third: you are being fol-
lowed, nm to the nearest populated
area.

o a ..a,... a...‘A‘~-..c «.4, q.
I ~. .

 

 

The governor urged the Higher
Education Review Commission to
resist requests to expand university
programs.

“One would wonder if the execu-
tive branch has read its charge" to
higher education, said Ronald
Kurth, president of Murray State
University.

The idea of a local engineering
program dates back at least four
years. when Paducah began seeking
a new, high-technology investment
from the federal government at its
Uranium Enrichment Plant, said
Harry Ruth, chairman of the Great-
er I’aducah Economic Development
Council.

Young team
learns lessons

the hard way

SYRACUSE, N.Y. — I had heard of Pamplona.
read about it, seen the images of the raging bulls
chasing the horrified Spaniards through the streets.
Now, I understand their plight.

Saturday, the Carrier Dome transformed from
arena to stampede scene as Orangemen fans, sud-
denly overcome by a mob mentality. toppled
everything (including several unfonunate joumal-
ists) in their incendiary path to the court following
Syracuse's 93-85 victory over UK.

As I fled from the chaos to the safety of the

press room, the memory of the Wildcats and the
Orangemen standing eye-to-eye,
the score knotted 83-83 with just
more than one minute to play
seemed distant.
_ All that lingered for UK was the
- aura of defeat. Another loss. An-
' other cardiac of a game, harder on
the collective hearts of Wildcat
fans than the buckets of Kentucky
, Fried Chicken passed through the
. Syracuse student section.

However, Rick Pitino, the UK
coach who labeled last Wednes-
day's loss to Arkansas the most disappointing of
his career (proving he has, in some way, deleted
Pitt 85, UK 67 from his memory bank). sat calmly
through Saturday’s press conference.

Though his Cats lost this battle, they did show
marked offensive improvement from their chemis-
try-depraved second-half exhibition against the
Razorbacks. And in the process, elements of Piti-
no-ball from the past resurfaced, albeit in a shaky
and unpolished form.

The key element in the Cats' quest for chemistry
is sophomore forward Jared Prickett. the collegiate
Dennis Rodman of late (43 boards in his past three
games). As essential as Prickett‘s rebounding
prowess is to the team's success is his ongoing ev-
olution as a passer on the interior.

Judging from UK’s offensive sets against the
Orangemen, Pitino apparently is focussing on cast-
ing Prickett in the same role that Deron Feldhaus
starred in.

Feldhaus, you may recall, was a vital cog in the
precision ball movement that brought Pitino’s ear-
ly squads fame. He spent much of his on-court
time flashing to the free-throw line, then deciding
whether to reverse the ball to the wing for an open
three, dump it down to the low post or take an
open 15-footer.

Fouling legend Gimel Martinez, the tearn’s resi-
dent grizzled veteran, excels in the Feldhaus mold.
Because of the senior's extraordinary propensity
for disqualification, however, it is imperative for
Prickett to embrace the role also.

The sophomore seemed, at times on Saturday,
perplexed, hesitating for a split second before mak-
ing his decisions. And, you know the saying, inde-
cision kills.

In the morbid Wildcat lockerroom. a downtrod-
den Prickett lamented about what could have been.

“I needed to look for Andre (Riddick) in the
paint and for my shot more, rather than just pass-
ing back outside."

Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim detected Prickett’s
struggles with the system as well.

“He was just looking to pass. He was open for a
shot several times," said Boeheim, who added
“things will come around for (Prickett).”

Feldhaus, in the early days of his role, looked
just as indecisive as Prickett did Saturday. As time
progressed, however, the decisions became second
nature as experience yielded quite the suit of ar-
mor. No doubt. the
same will eventually
be sandprnckeu. . The Wildcats’ 2-3

The rmponant thing
to Pitino is that his zone looked
team at least attempted - -
the interior passes and at times as mept
me three-pong 1:0"? as Chris Farley
za that marre e - . .
kansas game did not m a I'mbo
ensue.

Another encourag- contest.
ing sign for the UK
coach was the never-
say-die attitude his team showed throughout the
contest. Near the end of the turbo-charged first
half, the Orangemen led 48-36, only to have the
Cats score the final seven points and head to the
lockerroom with momentum in hand.

Then, at the start of the second half, UK took the
‘Cuse’s best shot. After falling behind 59-45, the
Cats reeled off 13 straight points, perhaps inspired
by the Syracuse band‘s frisky rendition of the Vil-
lage People's skating rink classic “Y.M.C.A."
(And I, for one, just can’t get enough of the Vil-
lage People.)

Seriously, the Wildcats' success could largely be
attributed to revitalized mad bomber Tony Delk,
who had the Carrier Dome crowd and the assorted
NBA scouts on hand oohing and ahhing at as be
drained three after three. Somewhere, Dick Vitale
must have been screaming, “Get him the ball. You
can't stop him. baby!" -

In the end,though, UK just couldn‘t match the
’Cuse. The Wildcats' 2-3 zone, a system Pitino has
been forced into due to Travis Ford’s lack of
height and the lack of inside depth. looked at times
as inept as Chris Farley in a limbo contest.

The Orangemen's shooting was hotter than a
scalding iron, their spirits higher than Lawrence
Moten‘s socks.

So this was yet another lesson for the young
Cats, playing a hungry team in front of a hostile
crowd.

From the depression-gripped scene that was the
UK lockerroom, though, it appeared Wildcat
plasyers have had enough lessons to last a season.

Orange Crush: UK falls 93-85

Autry is hot hand helps
Syracuse fry the Cats

By Ty Halpin
Sports Editor

 

SYRACUSE, N.Y. — The Syracuse Orangemen
sliced and diced UK 93-85 in staging their version of
the “Kentucky Fried Movie" Saturday at the Carrier
Dome.

The Cats (18-5) soured at the end of ------------
the game while the Orange (16-4) siz- .2j &
zled. Syracuse, whipped into a frenzy "m“ '
after holding the lead for most of the
game, scored the last eight points to
grill the Cats.

“They did a great job down the
stretch," UK coach Rick Pitino said.

“The mistakes we made down the
stretch really hurt us.”

Forward Rodrick Rhodes concurred. I I “Hill.

“We played a good game,” Rhodes
said. “We didn’t do the things we needed to do to get
the win at the end of the game.”

A good part of the Orangemen’s success was their
shooting. Syracuse was hotter than jalapenos in the
first half, hitting 19 of 28 shots on its way to a 60 per-
cent performance for the game.

The most flavorful shot of the game rested with Sy-
racuse point guard Adrian Autry. With one minute re-
maining, the senior broke UK’s press and drew a foul
from Rhodes as he drove the lane.

The ball hung on the rim for what seemed like an
eternity before falling through, igniting the sea of
31,560 Orangemen fans into a spirited frenzy.

Autry found the win over the No. 4 Cats to be quite
