Weapons airdrop

approved by Reagan

By JIM [)RINKARD
Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Rea~
gan yesterday authorized the CIA to
resume airdrops of weapons to Nica-
ragua‘s contra rebels. as congressio-
nal opponents worked to offset an
expected presidential lobbying blitz
for an extension of military aid.

“This is really a gut issue for the
president.“ said Rep. Lee Hamilton.
D-Ind.. an opponent of the aid rene-
wal Reagan is expected to seek for
the rebels on Jan. 26. “It is his high-
est foreign policy objective. The ad-
ministration will pull out every stop
in order to win this vote.“

The House is to vote Feb. 3 on
Reagan‘s request for an as«yet—unde-
termined amount of new military
aid. If it approves the request. the
Senate would vote the next day.

in a speech to administration po-
litical appointees yesterday. the
president reiterated his belief that
only continued military pressure on
Nicaragua‘s leftist Sandinista gov-
ernment will lead to peace for the
region.

“We must have the courage to
stand behind those who continue to
put their lives on the line for democ-
racy in Nicaragua." Reagan said.

He said his final year in office will
be “the year that the United States
will strongly affirm that democracy,
not communism. is the future of
Central America.“

The rebels are currently operating
on a short-term infusion of humani-
tarian aid approved before Congress
left for its holiday recess. including
money to pay for CIA airdrops of
previously stockpiled weapons and

tion's task in winning new lethal

over the weekend. when Nicaraguan
President Daniel Ortega promised to
make substantial concessions to
keep the peace process alive.

Ortega vowed to lift the state of
emergency in his country that has
curtailed civil liberties. to hold di-
rect talks with the rebels aimed at
reaching a cease-fire and to release
political prisoners when a truce is
arranged.

Administration officials call the
promises a ploy to lure Congress
into a cutoff of contra aid. and point
to past failures by the Sandinistas to
live up to their promises.

White House spokesman Marlin
Fitzwater said yesterday that the
amount and composition of the new
aid request will be determined by
what Ortega does between now and
then in fulfilling those promises. a

The University is initiating a
freeze on capital construction and
equipment purchases in response to
an anticipated revenue shortfall in
the state‘s budget. In addition, the
University will subject personnel
service contracts and travel re-
quests to strict review.

The move to reduce costs is in re-
sponse to Kentucky Gov. Wallace
Wilkinson’s request for help in deal-
ing with an expected $53.7 million
shortfall in the current state fiscal
budget. which ends June 30.

The University might also be
asked to surrender some $267 mil—
lion set aside as part of an escrow
account last year.

UK officials announced the mea-
sures at yesterday's regular Board
of Trustees meeting.

Last June. the state's eight univer-

sities were asked by Gov. Martha
Layne Collins‘ administration to set
aside 1 percent of their budgets in
addition to a 2 percent cut in funding
for the universities.

“That (contingency fund) is in di-
rect coalition with what is being
asked of other state agencies at the
present time." said Ed Carter. vice
president for administration.

UK and higher education officials
say they believe that Wilkinson will
use the reserves — totaling $4.7 mil-
lion — to fight the budget deficit.

“We all kind of anticipate that
that will be one of the pots of
money“ that Wilkinson will use. said
Ken Walker. exective financial di-
rector for the Council on Higher Ed
ucation.

“If not. then a bunch of us will be
pleasantly surprised. ”

L'K's $2.67 million reserve is the
largest. followed by the University
of Louisville’s $1.04 million.

The construction freeze will affect
all projects that haven't begun be

fore Jan. 18. Carter said. It will es~
sentially put on hold all capital pro-
jects that are institutionally funded.

The projects are small internal
ones funded out of the University
balance. like office renovation. said
Jack Blanton. vice chancellor for
administration of the Lexington
campus.

Construction which is underway.
like the Robotics Center. the Mining
and Minerals Resource Center and
the Acquatics Center. will not be af-
fected. Blanton said.

The full impact of the freeze won't
be known until Wilkinson unveils his
budget Jan. 27. Carter said.

Little Kentucky Derby postponed; U
Fawn Hall could be coming to UK

By EVA J. WINKIE
Staff Writer

The Little Kentucky Derby will be
later than usual this year.

The dates for the spring LKD car-
nival have been tentatively changed
from April 13-17 to April 2024. due
to scheduling conflicts.

Missy Derifield. LKD chairwo-
man. announced at last night‘s Stu-
dent Activities Board meeting that
because of scheduling problems with
Harper Amusements the LKD would
be postponed one week.

She said a verbal agreement had
been made with Harper. the compa-

ny that provides the annual carni-
val. to set up for production on April
13. LKD opening day.

However. someone at Harper was
apparently unaware of that
agreement. and signed a written
contract with another school. Deri-
field said.

Derifield said she could have
found another carnival company.
but felt more comfortable working
with Harper.

Lynne Hunt. SAB president and
former LKD chairwoman. first
signed with Harper three years ago.
Since then. they have performed
during LKD week annually.

Derifield said one reason both she
and Hunt chose Harper was that
there are few carnival companies in
existence and few who are willing to
work an event like LKI) on a college
campus.

She said scheduling dates were the
main conflict with carnival compa-
nies. as they are in high demand
during the spring and summer sea-
son. Deriiield said liability was also
a factor. because of the increase in
the price of insurance

“They're «Harper Amusements)
good people to work with." she said.

didn‘t play 40 minutes. That‘s a
great effort.

“If you can get that kind of pro-
ductivity out of 40 minutes of play-
ing the pivot position. then I would
say we‘d have an excellent chance
of winning the majority of our ball-
games."

Ellis showed no ill effects from the
injury, although Sutton noted that
Ellis' lack of physical conditioning
was obvious.

“You could see him huffing and
puffing going up and down the
floor." Sutton said. “But you don‘t
miss that many practice days (and
stay in top shapei.“

Ellis recently completed his reha-
bilitation program with assistant
trainer Charles Wooton. The pro-
gram consisted of swimming, bike
riding and running.

Wooton said Ellis‘ ankle is about
EDS-percent healed. He said the train-
ing staff classifies three types of
ankle injuries — first. second and
third degree — with third degree
being the most severe. He said Ellis‘
was “about 2 plus.“

“He came back a lot faster than
we thought he was going to.“ Woo-
ton said.

Ellis said the only problem is
when he goes up for a layup off his
left leg. he can‘t jump as high as he
previously could.

“When you‘re right-handed and
you go up for a layup. you go off
your left leg.“ Ellis said. “Right
now, I just can't get up off the floor
on it like I used to be able to. That
constitutes the five percent that I‘m
lacking right now. Everything else

"I don‘t really care how they play
me, just as long as I can get in there

and be able to produce like I did last

Sutton says Gators

By cums ALDRIDGE
Staff Writer

Kentucky may be in for its tough—
est Southeastern Conference game
to date when the Cats host the Flor-
ida Gators tonight at Rupp Arena.

UK coach Eddie Sutton calls Flor-
ida the deepest and most talented
team in the league — his Cats in-
cluded.

But Florida received some bad
news this week when it learned that
outstanding freshman forward, 6-
foot-8 Livingston Chatman, will miss
the game because of arthroscopic
knee surgery. He is the Gator's top
rebounder (7.3) and second—leading
scorer (14.5) this season.

The adversity created by the loss
of a star player, plus the fact that
Florida hasn’t been playing up to its
preseason expectations makes the
Gators dangerous. Tonight’s game
may be just what Florida coach
Norm Sloan needs to bring his Ga-
tors out of their shell.

“(Sloan) made a comment that he
expects them to break out of their
slump at any moment, hopefully in
Rupp Arena," said UK assistant
coach Jimmy Dykes, who scouted
the Gators’ win over Ole Miss Satur-
day.

Dykes said he believes Florida
will try to get UK to play an up-
tempo style, which may not be ad-
vantageous to Kentucky.

“We're not afraid to run with any-
one because we feel we have the
horses," Dykes said. “But on the
other hand, you don’t want to get
into a Ping-Pong match with some-

one who plays Ping-Pong 24 hours a
day.“

The Gators will again be led by
the insideoutside combination of se-
nior guard Vernon Maxwell and
sophomore center Dwayne Schintzi-
us. Maxwell leads the team in scor-
ing, averaging 20.1 points per game.
The 7-2. 245-pound Schintzius aver-
ages 13.6 points and 7.1 rebounds a
game.

Forward Pat Lawrence is a three-
pomt demon, hitting more of his
three-point attempts (50 percent)
than two-pointers (46.3).

Kentucky and Florida are current-
ly tied for first place in the SEC
with 5-1 and 3-1 conference records,
respectively.

“At this stage in the season. it's as
important to us as any game we'll
play,“ Sutton said,

 Corner makes some changes
as Van Horn eyes next bout

By JIM WHITE
Assistant Sports Editor

A few things have changed in Dar-
rin Van Horn’s corner since he last
fought in the Bluegrass.

That was in August when the UK
sophomore and professional boxer
downed Greg Taylor in an eight-
round bout at Lexington’s Continen-
tal Inn.

After that, Darrin and his father,
then-promoter/trainer G.L. Van
Horn, hit the road in search of “big
time“ boxing success.

They traveled to New York City
where the middleweight knocked out
Norberto Bueno in the third round at
Madison Square Garden on Sept. 17.
Things were beginning to pick up.

While there, Darrin, now ranked
third in the world by the Internation-
al Boxing Federation, posed for the
cover of this month’s “The Ring"
magazine.

From there, it was off to Atlantic
City where Darrin “School Boy"
Van Horn scored two more victories
over Jaun Alanso Villa in October
and Joe Summers in December.
Both were 10—round decisions.

On Feb. 21, Darrin and his father
will return to Kentucky to fight.
Darrin will go up against John Mun—
duga of Uganda in a bout that will

be nationally televised by NBC.

Van Horn enters the fight with a
record of 34-0 with 21 knock outs.
Munduga will carry a 26-1 record
into the ring. He has knocked out 17
opponents.

When the bell sounds at the Farn-
ham-Dudgeon Civic Center in
Frankfort, Darrin, who recently
turned 19 years old, will be in the
ring as usual. But his father’s role
has changed a bit.

“We have stepped up quite a few
notches from when we started out
two or three years ago,“ G.L. said
at a press conference held yesterday
in Frankfort. “I was very hard on
Darrin, but Darrin couldn‘t tell the
difference between, was it his train-
er getting on his butt or was it his
dad. We had a lot of problems
there."

Enter fight trainer Donald Turner.

“He‘s a black G.L. Van Horn,"
G.L. said of Turner. “1 would like
for Don to take Darrin where he
should be. Where I haven't been
able to take Darrin for the last three
times out. Before I made a mistake

. . . I went ahead and reached out
and got, let me tell you, one of the
finest trainers around. And you‘re
going to see the difference in Darrin
this next time out.“

“I know what (Darrin) is capable
of,“ said Turner, who is known to he
a disciplinarian. “And I won’t ex-
cept anything less of what he's capa-
ble of."

Turner is based in California,
Penn, where he currently trains two
world ranked fighters. He also
trained Cincinnati fighter Aaron
Pryor up until Pryor’s second title
defense.

Darrin, however, won't be going to
Pennsylvania to train. Turner will
make the trip to Lexington before
bouts to work out at the Continental
Inn where Darrin lives.

“I met (Turner) in Atlantic City
on my last fight,“ Darrin said.
“When I saw him I looked at him I
just said, ‘Oh, my god,’ because he
didn‘t look that old and I knew I
wouldn’t have any respect for him.
Then I found out he’s older than my
dad so that changed."

G.L., now tackling the sole job of
Darrin's manager, also has passed
on the responsibility of promoting
his son to Cedric Kusher who has di-
rected the progress of five world
champion boxers.

Although G.L. said the reason he
relinquished the jobs of trainer and
promoter was because of father—son
conflicts, he still is pretty sore about
some remarks made by 1987 World

for either the event or the organization. Do you know what your authority
and responsibility is in arranging for programs and events? Understand
what a contract is. Analyze activities and events to detect potential

Viewpoint

Minority teachers
needed for system
to fulfill purpose

As the needs of black students in Higher Education in-
crease, unfortunately the resources to deal with these
needs are growing smaller.

Statistics indicate a nationwide trend toward fewer tea-
chers entering the profession. Even more frightening, how-
ever, is the increasing shortage of minority teachers.

During the 1980-81 school year, 108,000 graduates earned
bachelor degrees in education. Of these, 8.8 percent were
black. Four years later, blacks made up only 5.9 percent of
the graduating class, even though the total number of
graduates had shrunk by about 20,000.

Yesterday saw the end to the “Conference on Minority
Recruitment and Retention in Teacher Education Pro-
grams,” a UK-sponsored, three-day seminar designed to
reverse the decline in the number of minority teachers.

Administrators, educators and faculty from across the
nation gathered to study a model put together by several
UK professors and officials. The model was presented in a
general format so as to allow participants to apply it to
their specific needs.

The conference no doubt was filled with enthusiasm and
inspiration. As these educators return to their offices, we
hope they don’t lose the fire.

For the education system in our country to be effective,
something has to be done. Every year, thousands of stu-
dents drop out of school. Even more plod along with little
interest, going only to satisfy their parents, the police or
future employers.

For these students to stick with it and get something out
of their studies, something or someone has to keep them
there. That someone is the teacher. A good teacher not
only has knowledge and teaching skills, but also has the
ability to identify with the students and the students’ prob-
lems.

And whether we like it or not, for a minority student
that teacher is often a minority teacher. A minority teach-
er serves as a role model, as a friend and a confidant. El-
ementary and middle school teachers especially rely on
their ability to make friends with a student as a way of
making a difference in his or her life.

We want to congratulate UK for taking the initiative in
recognizing the danger of this shortage. We urge those in-
volved — and others — to continue their efforts. This is a
problem that apathy won’t solve.

. . A
Park It '
0

Former UK basketball coach Adolph Rupp once said all he wanted
from God was an NCAA championship and a parking space on this
campus.

The'Baron got four championship trophies over his 42-year career,
but he probably had a more difficult time finding a place to park his
car.

Each year, students, faculty and staff increasingly complain about
the lack of parking spaces on UK‘s campus.

A quick check of the parking lots around campus would probably
reveal that many cars are parked illegally because the drivers could
not find anywhere else to park it.

Nevertheless, many of the illegally parked vehicles are open season
for either a parking ticket or even worse. a tow truck.

What do you think should be done about the parkin
