Casey 1" hppay’

to end ordeal
over package

By TIM WIESENHAHN
Staff Writer

Former assistant basketball coach
Dwane Casey said yesterday that he
feels he has been
vindicated from
any involvement
of an alleged
payoff that
brought the UK
basketball pro—
gram sanctions
from the NCAA.

In a news con-
ference held yes-
terday afternoon
at the Radisson
Plaza Hotel in Lexington, Casey and
his attorney, Joe Bill Campbell, de~
clared that the former coach was re
lieved that the ordeal was finally be-
hind them.

“I‘m so pleased that it‘s all over
with," Casey said. “I've established
a great friendship with Joe Bill, but
it‘s time to get on with next chapter
of our lives.“

Casey reached an out-of—court set-
tlement with Emery Air Freight
Corp. on Oct. 25. He had filed an in-
vasion of privacy Suit against Emery
and Security Experts Inc. in July
I988 that sought $6.9 million in
damages.

“It hurts in the same aspect that
I’m happy today that it took me two
years to prove myself innocent," he
said. “Hopefully, this has done
that.”

Casey earlier settled out of court
with Security Experts.

Casey said that a letter from Em-
ery detailing the settlement will be
sent to the NCAA in hopes of allow-
ing him to return to the coaching
ranks, which he was barred from for
five years in 1989.

Casey‘s trial was scheduled to be
gin today in US. District Court in
Lexington.

“The court set up the initial settle—
ment conference," Campbell said.
“Emery made a money offer to
Dwane Casey -— we did throw out
the initial number. We agreed to ac-
cept the condition of confidentially.

“The amount of money will never
be known. It's a substantial amount
of money. We’re not going to risk
the settlement,” he said.

“It is settled and concluded,”
Campbell added. “We established
that Dwane Casey did not put mon-
ey in the package.

“All claims against all parties will
be dismissed," Campbell said. “The
lawsuit is over. There are no more
claims against anybody." Campbell
said he was confident of Casey’s
chances of winning if the case had
gone to trial.

“I felt like we were going to have
to try the case. There was no credit-
able persuasive evidence that
Dwane Casey put the money in the
package. There is serious doubt in
my mind about whether or not the
money was in the package. There‘s
always been that question."

The Los Angeles Daily News re-
ported in April 1988 that an Emery
package — sent by Casey and ad-
dressed to then-UK recruit Chris
Mills —« popped open in an Emery
terminal, allegedly revealing $1,000
in cash.

As a result of the ensuing NCAA
investigation, UK‘s basketball pro-
gram was placed on probation for
three years.

Eddie Sutton, the former UK
coach, resigned and is now the head
basketball coach at Oklahoma State
University.

C asey. who was banned from
coaching at a NCAA institution for
five years, has maintained his inno-
cence throughout the entire affair.

Despite the severity of the penal-
ties, Campbell said Casey doesn’t
hold a grudge against the NCAA.

“The NCAA is an organization
Dwane Casey believes in." Camp-
bell said.

Casey said he has been ap-
proached by several coaches inter—
ested in his availability.

“1 do want to coach intercolle-
giate athletics — where that might
be. I don’t know," Casey said. “My
next selection of schools has to be
the best possible situation."

“It's really sad," said Shelda
Hale-Roca, an English instructor
who stood off to the side, watching.
“I‘ve seen this sculpture destroyed
and repaired so many times that you
really can’t have a chance to enjoy
it."

"It seems like there is some kind

“It's childish, destructive and ignor-

Joe O’Brien, a mason with

I)! l 'ERSIONS

Writer Nikky Finney
observes community

By MTCHELL LH. DOUGLAS
Contributing Writer

Your first glance of Nikky Fin-
ney undoubtedly will draw you to
her long brownish-blonde head of
dreadlocks. She is much more than
your typical person. Her method of
observation adds to her writing
style.

Finney came to UK last year as a
visiting professor, hoping to finish
her first novel. She finished that
novel, “While Others Played and
Chased the Sun," last month and
she hopes do get it published early
next year.

“As a writer, I want to hang on
the fringe and watch,” she said.

Bom in Conway, SC, Finney
completed her undergraduate stud-
ies at Talladega College, a small
histoncally black school in Ala-
bama, and her graduate work at At-
lanta University.

Finney has been published in
magazines like Black Southerner
and Essence in 1976. Her first
book of poetry, “On Wings Made
of Gauze," was published in 1986.

Teaching didn’t occur to Finney
until UK offered her ajob — an un-
expected love of the profession en-
couraged her to stay.

Welcomed warmly on campus,
Finney said her supportive col-
leagues made the transition from
writing poetry at her home in Oak-
land to teaching creative writing in
Lexington a smooth one.

“Even though my students were
from different parts of Kentucky,
when it came down to it, we (are)
all writers working on the craft of
writing," she said.

In the classroom, Finney played
a dual role as teacher and student,
learning about communities she
had not explored before teaching.

She was amazed to hear of the
number of blacks in the Appala-
chian mountains and their stories
and discovered black history in
Lexington, history she found inter—
esting and enriching.

The concern Finney shows for
community and culture are alive in
her poems and short stories.

“Something has to grab me by
my heart — it has to be important,”
Finney said of her writing. “It has
to strike me, whether it angers me
or makes me happy.”

Finney said it is important to tell
stories of community and family
and to also be a “voice box”
through which African-American
culture is told.

”That’s what I do. That’s my rea~
on," Finney said. “Other people
are doctors and architects —- l
write.”

Finney enjoys comments from
her audience, good or bad, while
she reads from her work.

The audience feedback she iden-
tifies as being “crucial" originates
from an old African tradition
known as “call and response," Firi-
ney said.

Finney describes her audience as
“sensitive people who care about ra-
cism, sexism, injustices and chang-
ing the world in a one on one way."

Being a black female poet, Fin-
ney finds herself in a unique posi-
tion to relay her message to such an
audience.

Her work is similar to that of fa-
mous female poets, including writ-
ers like Phyllis Wheatly, Nikki Gio-
vani and Sonia Sanchez.

To Finney, writing is precarious,
but also the one thing that keeps her
head above water.

“Writing is the loneliest profes-
sion in the world,” she said. “It's
not the money, it's not the fame.
You have to be mad or possessed by
the beauty of words.

“Why else would I do this?”

Senior citizens and the general
public attended two recitals per-
formed by the UK Symphonic
Winds Concert Band at the Otis A.
Singletary Center for the Ans
Thursday.

The band completed two separate
recitals; one at 3 pm. for senior citi-
zens, and a later performance at 8
pm, open to the public.

Director Tom Brawner conducted
the band through six pieces, includ-
ing Philip Sparke’s “The Year of
the Dragon" and Franz Liszt’s, “Les
Preludes.”

The program began with Johann
Strauss’ “Die Feldermaus Over-
ture.”

This acted as a delightful opening
to the recital with its pleasing opera
air. Brawner then led the band into
“Ballo del Graduca," an Italian
dance tune written by Jan Swee-
linck. During this work, the clari-
nets produced a rapturous melody
that mesmerized the audience. Fol-

blows audience away

lowing “Ballo del Graduca", the
band artfully executed Philip
Sparke’s ”The Year of the Drag—
on."

Divided into three parts, this
rhythmic work was the highlight of
the recital.

The last piece in the first set,
“Blue Bells of Scotland", created
by Arthur Pryor, ended with a
trombone solo by Dale Warren.

Franz Liszt’s “Les Preludes”
opened the second set of the recital.

A counterpart to lamartine’s
poem "Les Preludes”, this piece
presented the elemental themes of
the stars, the earth, and the waves
with gentle articulation.

Dominated by the horns, this in-
strumental sparked the imagination
and elevated the mind. The second
work in the set, “The Black Horse
Troop March,” written by John
Phillip Sousa and conducted by W.
Dale Warren, with a military patri-
otic air. The recital closed with
Thomas Knox’s “American Pa-
geant.”

A firmer West German chancel-
kirbrokeranksandflewtolraqyes-
terday to seek freedom for foreign-
ers held hostage by Saddam
Hussein, and the European Commu-
nity convened a special session in
hopes of keeping members in line.

Secretary of State James A. Baker
III met with the exiled emir of Ku-
wait, and volunteered that military
action to recover the oil-rich emirate
from Iraqi invaders was under con-
sideration.

And the USS Midway. one of
four American aircraft carriers de-
ployed as pan of Operation Desert
Shield, entered the Persian Gulf.
Like the USS Independence, which
left the gulf last month after a few
days, the Midway apparently was
sent in as a show of force.

Iraq, meanwhile, said that in the
event of war over Kuwait, it would
attack Arab countries participating
in the U.S.-led multinational force.

The latest mission to Baghdad
was mounted by former Chancellor

Willy Brandt. who arrived in the Ira-
qi capital late yesterday aboard a
chartered Lufthansa Airbus that can
carry about 250 people. Brandt, who
was seen off by Iraq's ambassador
to Germany, carried letters and a
bouquet of flowers from relatives of
the estimated 400 German hostages.

Brandt's mission has the backing
of the German govemment despite
the EC's stand against negotiating
for the release of the hundreds of
foreigners in Iraq and Kuwait. Sad-
dam has tried to use the hostages —
whom he calls “guests" — to splin-
ter the alliance against him.

Also yesterday, a delegation of
Irish legislators left Baghdad after
talks with Iraqi officials aimed at
winning freedom for an estimated
220 Irish citizens.

“We are given to believe that the
Iraqi government will soon resolve
the issue of Iraqi guests," said Irish
lawmaker Michael Higgins.

Former Prime Minister Yasuhiro
Nakasone of Japan also was meeting
with Iraqi officials in hopes of win-
ning the release of more than 300
Japanese hostages.

Election turnout
expected to be low

By MARK R. CHELLGREN
Associated Press

FRANKFORT, Ky. — Less than
half of Kentucky's 1.8 million regis-
tered voters are expected to cast bal-
lots today. with voter unrest pitted
against apathy for turnout.

The two men at the top of the bal-
lot, US. Sen. Mitch McConnell and
Democratic challenger Harvey
Sloane, both predicted turnout of 40
percent or less.

Secretary of State Bremer Ehrler
was more optimistic and predicted a
45 percent turnout.

There is an unusual mix on ballots
around the state.

McConnell’s bid to retain his seat
against Sloane has heated up in the
past few days. Sloane has pressed
his anti-incumbent theme and
McConnell has pointed to wide-
spread endorsements of him for a
second term.

Republicans hope McConnell can
lead the GOP ticket to unprecedent-
ed success.

Republicans fielded 54 candidates
for seats in the Kentucky House,
giving them a theoretical shot at
control of the 100-member House.
Thirteen of the 19 state Senate seats
on the ballot also have contested
races.

All four of Kentucky's Democrats
in Congress have opposition. Of the
three Republicans in the US
House, only 4th District Rep. Jim
Bunning drew an opponent — Dem-
ocrat and retired civil rights advo-
cate Galen Martin.

Two of the congressional races
were rematches.

Seventh District Democratic Rep.
Chris Perkins hooked up against
Pikeville Republican Will T. Scott
for the second time.

Second District Rep. William
Natcher. the dean of Kentucky’s
congressional delegation and one of
the most senior men in Washington,
ran against retired Army officer
Martin Tori again.

Louisville Democrat Ron Mazzoli
was challenged by Republican A]
Brown in the 3rd District.

First District Democratic Rep.
Carroll Hubbard was challenged by
Populist Marvin Seat

Four proposed amendments to the
Kentucky Constitution are also to be
decided in campaigns that became
unexpectedly heated in the last week
or so.

There are also three contested rac-
es for seats on the Kentucky Su-
preme Court.

In the 1st District, Appeals Court
Judge J. William Howenon of Padu-
cah and Hopkins Circuit Judge
Thomas Spain ran to succeed retir-
ing Justice Roy Vance.

The retirement of Justice William
Gant in the 2nd District prompted a
contest between Appeals Judge
Charles Reynolds of Bowling Green
and Hardin Circuit Judge William
Cooper.

Justice Charles Leibson in the 4th
District was opposed by Henry Trip-
lett.

 

“I thought at first we'd
have a real big turn-
out...l think now it we
get 45 percent, we’ll be
doing well."

Bremer Ehrler,
Secretary of State

 

Controversial proposals to merge
governments in Daviess County and
Warren County may prompt people
to the polls there.

“I thought at first we‘d have a real
big turnout," Ehrler said.

“I think now if we get 45 percent.
we’ll be doing well."

Ehrler said he looked at previous
voter turnouts in similar election
years and found the numbers disap-
pointing. “It’s kind of pathetic, 39,
40, 42 percent," he said.

Diplomatic sources in Baghdad
said David Iange, a former prime
minister of New Zealand, and Ank-
er Jorgensen, a former prime minis-
ter of Denmark, plan to come to
Iraq.

Ireland. Germany and Denmark
are EC members. A special meeting
of European Community foreign
ministers was scheduled in Rome
last night to discuss departures from
the EC policy.

During the weekend, about 50
British and American hostages in
Iraq were allowed to call relatives at
home.

State Department deputy spokes-
man Richard Boucher quoted many
of the hostages as saying they had
lost weight, that the food was poor
and that they were often cold.

He added: “We think if he (Sad-
dam) is genuinely concerned about
allowing husbands and fathers to
talk to their wives and children, he
should simply release all the hostag-
es and let them come home.”

One father said his hostage son
told him Britain should not yield.

“He said the telephone call was

E 57’ g/w flflfp/

being recorded but he didn’t give
two monkeys and to let the govem-
ment know that the hostages want
no negotiations with the terrorists
and they are 100 percent behind
them,” the father said. British offi-
cials did not identify the father and
son by name.

But in Brockton, Mass., Mary
Tmndy said she’ll go to Baghdad
for Christmas if it will help her twin
brother, John Stevenson. She said he
had called other relatives in Florida,
adding: “We’re all planning to
spend the holidays with John."

Secretary of State Baker was in
Saudi Arabia yesterday as part of a
seven-nation tour aimed at testing
support among Arabs, Europeans
and the Soviets for military action
against Saddam.

In the Saudi town of Taif, Baker
met with the emir of Kuwait, Sheik
Jaber al-Ahmed al-Sabah, who was
driven from his homeland by Iraqi
invaders Aug. 2.

“As far as I am concerned I would
like my country to be liberated to-
day and before tomorrow.” the emir
told reporters.

Kentucky Kernel, Tueedey, November 6, 1m - 3

Baker meets with exiled emir of Kuwait

Baker said the Persian Gulf crisis
“is entering a new phase, and while
we are still seeking a peaceful politi-
cal and diplomatic solution, we have
to put ourselves in a position where
we would be able to exercise any
options that might be available."

While Baker said he had not dis-
cussed a military timetable with the
emir, he added: “I don't think that
we can or should rule out resort to
force if that should be necessary."

In Iraq. the army newspaper Al-
Qadissiyah said Arab nations that
join the multinational force would
suffer if there is a war.

“All dens of evil everywhere, and
whoever supported them, would not
be safe from our attacks,” said the
editorial carried by the official Iraqi
News Agency.

The dispatch monitored in Cyprus
said that “if war occurs as a result of
the U.S.-Westem conspiracy and be-

Staying away
from the polls
solves nothing

Watching the events transpire in Eastern Europe last year was

a moving sight for anyone who believes in the power of de-
mocracy and the hope it promises people.

As one East German student told Cable News Network last
year as the Berlin Wall came crumbling down in November,
freedom is what he only could dream about for all of his life.

Today, Americans have an opportunity to do what thousands
of people in Europe and China died for last year — the right to
vote. Sadly, less than half of the eligible voters will bother to
go to the voting booths and take the few minutes required to
vote.

A caller on C—Span last week said she plans to stay home to-
day because she doesn’t like her choices, and, besides, it
doesn’t really matter what she thinks anyway — special inter-
ests with lots of money command the attention of her govem-
ment officials.

We could fill this space by urgmg you to vote by claiming
that every vote makes a difference no matter who you are. Or
we could assert that if everyone had the attitude that their vote
has little effect on government, we could be paving the way for
a dictator.

To be sure, government has failed the people. Aimlessly
drifting, most politicians look to the polls, rather than their
souls, for conviction for their guidance.

But no matter how hopeless the situation seems, it still is
very important to take a few minutes today to vote. (Polls are
open from 6 a.m. to 6 pm.) By voting for someone, you at least
are telling city hall. Frankfort or Washington how you feel
about the way things are going.

If you don’t like the choices the Democratic or Republican
parties offer this fall, write someone in — instructions on how
to do so are on the inside of the voting booth.

While many people may not think this
