US. planes down 4 Serb aircraft

 

By Dusan Stojanovis
Associated Press

 

 

BELGRADE, Yugoslavia —— NATO
stnrck for the first time in the Bosnian war
yesterday when two US. F-16 fighter jets
downed four Serb warplanes that U.N. offi-
cials said bombed an arms plant run by
Bosnia's Muslim-led government.

NATO said the planes ignored several
warnings to leave a [LN-imposed no-fly
zone over Bosnia or face attack and then
were observed dropping bombs on a Mus-
lim-controlled area.

Bosnian Serbs first denied involvement.
But one Serb army official, who spoke on
condition of anonymity, confirmed that

four of their planes were
shot down. Bosnian Serb
leader Radovan Karadzic
said Serb pilots might have

been making “training
flights."
NATO has frequently

threatened intervention to
back U.N. resolutions dur-
ing the 23-month war, most
recently to force Serbs to
pull their artillery away from Sarajevo a
week ago. But yesterday‘s attack was the
first instance of NATO using military mus-
cle anywhere during its 44 years of exis-
tence.

NATO and the United Nations say they

IMWI

are neutral in the Bosnian conflict and will
act against any side violating U.N. agree-
ments. But Bosnian government officials.
who have appealed repeatedly for outside
help for their outgunned troops. were exu-
berant.

“Better days are ahead of us," Bosnian
Vice President Ejup (ianic said in Sarajevo,
Bosnia‘s capital.

Russia, a traditional Serb ally that criti-
cized NATO over its ultimatum to Serbs on
the Sarajevo siege. reacted mildly to the
clash. “If the Serbs did this. I see nojustifi-
cation," said Defense Minister Pavel Gra-
chev.

Although Russia has wanted that military
intervention could worsen the war, (irachev

said he did not think the incident would es-
calate the conflict.

U.S. Adm. Jeremy M. Boorda, the NATO
commander for southem Europe, said the
lesson to be learned was simple: “You
ought not to violate the no-fly zone." He
said NA'l‘O would not hesitate to fire on
any other violators.

The ban was imposed in October 1992,
after Bosnizui Serbs had overrun about 70
percent of Bosnia's territory in fighting
with govennnent soldiers and Bosnian
Croat forces. About 200,000 people have
been reported dead or missing since the war
began over Bosnia‘s secession from Serb-
dominatcd Yugoslavia.

Boorda said US. pilots detected six

plzutcs by radar and broadcast three warn-
ings for them to immediately land or leave
Bosnian air space or risk attack. No re-
sponse was received, and the Atncncans
then saw the planes "make a botnbing tna»
ncuvcr" and witnessed explosions on the
ground. he said.

One U.S. plane then shot down thrcc
planes with air-to-air missiles and a second
US. plane downed a fourth, Boorda said at
a briefing in Naples. ltaly. The two othcr
planes escaped by flying west over (‘roatia
and then north and back east ovcr Banja
Luka, a Serb-controlled region in north—
western Bosnia, NATO said. Matty of the
Bosnian Serb aircraft are based in Banja
Luka.

inappropriate,
2 students say

 

By Jennifer Wieher
Staff Writer

 

'l‘wo students who live next door
to the UK Police Station say they
did not receive proper police assis-
tance when they reported a prowler
on their back porch last week.

Anissa Carver, an undeclarcd jun—
ior, and Wendi Gardner. a genetics
senior, heard noises outside their
apartment on Rose Street late Tues-
day night. The apartment complex
is located between the Alpha ()lllb
CfOll Pi social sorority house and
the UK police station.

Gardner noticed the prowler
when she saw shadows on the
porch. She then reported the inci-
dent to UK police and called some
of her friends for help, Carver said.

Carver said a campus police car
came to the apartment‘s parking lot.
but officers did not check for the
prowler on the back porch.

“The police never even got out of
their cruiser,“ Carver said.

Chris Weller, a sports administra-
tion senior, arrived just as the po-
lice were leaving. Weller and Dan-
ny Murphy, another friend of the
students. checked on Carver and

(iartlncr and then looked out back.
Weller said.

Weller said the prowler was still
in the back. but ran whctt he ltcard
thc them approaching.

”If the police went arottnd back. i
think they would have caught the
guy." Weller said.

UK Police Chief W.ll. Mct"otnas
said his officers probably responded
to the call out of courtesy and for
security reasons. He said. however,
that they could not investigate be-
cause the area was not in the depart
tnent‘s jurisdiction.

“We would be held extremely li-
able if anything happened," Mc(‘o-
mas said.

John Potts. a captain with the
Lexington police department, said
UK police wouldn't even be able to
arrest the suspect if they caught
hitn.

He advised all students not living
on University property to call Oil
in case of emergencies, so that city
police can respond.

McComas said his officers usual-
ly contact Lexington police when
there is a problem with jurisdiction.

Potts, said, however, that Lexing-

R.E.M.'s ‘Automatic for the People’ is nominated for the Best
Album of the Year Grammy. The Grammys air at 8 p.m. today.

The other (iratntny nominees iti-
clude old timers Billy Joel, Neil
Young, Meat Loaf. Rod Stewart
and Tina Turner. Joel's "The River
of Dreams" is nominated for
Record of the Year, Album of the
Year. Song of the Year and Best
Pop Vocal Performance. Male.

The Best New Artist category re-
mains the last hope for a transfusion
of youthful vitality. Belly. Blind
Melon, Toni Braxton. Digable Plan-
ets and Sisters With Voices all are
nominated l)igable Planets. with its
fusion oi~ funk and rap, is a sure bet
to enter the orbit of stardom.

With the addition of awards for
altentative tnusic and rap music. the
(irammys are hoping to appeal to a
wider audience. Unfortunately,
some of the nominees for altema-
live music seem very mainstream.
112’s Zooropu and R.li.M.‘s Auto
matte for the People are nominated
for Best Alternative Music Album.
along with truly altemativc works
by Belly (Star), Smashing Pump-
kins (Sianwse Dream) and Nirvana
(In Utero). It'll probably a toss up
between .S't'mnrse Dream and In
Urero.

Smashing Pumpkins also is nomi-
nated iii the Hard Rock category for

the track “Cherub Rock" from Sla-
ntese Dream, and the band should
be a clear winner over ‘70s relics
A(‘./l)(f (“Highway to Hell") attd
Robert Plant (“(‘alling to You").
Other songs nominated are “Leave
it Alone" by Living Colour and
“Plush" by Stone Temple Pilots.
Nominees for Best Rap Perfor-
mance by a Duo or (iroup include
“Revolution“ (Arrested Develop-
ment), “insane in the Brain" (Cy-
press llill). “Rebirth of Slick (Cool
Like Dal)" (Digable Planets). "Nu-
thin' but a ‘G‘ 'l'htutg“ (Dr. Dre &
Snoop), and “Hip Hop Hooray"
(Naughty by Nature). “Rebirth of
Slick ((‘ool Like hat)" is a slickly
produced song with a catchy riff
that surely will snag the award.
Aerosmith is nominated for two
songs in the same category of Best
Rock Song. The love ballad “Cryin'
" and the rock anthem “Livin’ on
the Edge" both are nominees. Other
nominees are Lenny Kravitz‘s “Are
You (lonna Go my Way," Meat
Loaf s “I‘ll Do Anything for Love
(But I Won‘t Do That)" and Soul
Asylum’s “Runaway Train."
“Runaway Train“ should receive
the award without being derailed by
Aerosmith's double whammy.

Senior inside guys leave mark on UK

Martinez difi‘ers from mates:
He’s always been a Wildcat

 

By Brett Dawson
Assistant Sports Editor

 

(iimel Martinez stands out
arnoug the seniors on the 1993-94
UK basketball tezun.

'l'ravis l’ord transferred from Mis-
souri. Rodney Dent transferred
from ()dessa Junior College. Jeff
Brassow was recruited by Eddie
Sutton. then spent live years under
Rick l’itiuo.

And Martinez? He came to Lex-
ington four years ago and is about
to finish up his fourth season. And
then he‘ll be off.

And that‘s perfectly nonnal. l~'or
most players. But in this group of
seniors, it makes Martinez down-
right unusual. lle stzmds out for be-
ing like everyone else.

But Martinez doesn‘t attract
much attention. He never has. And
once again, he‘ll likely be overshad-
owed when he turd his fellow sen-
iors are honored tomorrow night
dttring UK's annual Senior Night.

attention of (Jamal Mashburn) or

that matter, but he's been very much
in support of all of those guys." UK
head coach Rick l’itino said of Mar-
illlcl. “He’s been a major part of
this program."

Martinez seems content with the
time he has spent as a Wildcat. lle‘s
seen great players come and go.
And he's been involved in sotne of
the greatest moments in UK's sto-
ried basketball history.

“I‘ve had a great time,“ Martinez
said of his UK career. “I've played
under a great coach turd played with
great tezuns. We've had so many
high points during my career."

Among those were arguably the
finest college basketball game ever
(the UK-l)uke rnatchup in l‘)‘)2), a
lr'inal l‘our appearance in l‘)‘)3 and
the rally to end all rallies, a 31-point
comeback and eventual 0005 win
over LSU this season.

For Martinez individually, his
four years at UK have included vast
improvements as a player. a few fa-
cial hair changes and a roller coaster
relationship with the UK fans.

“I guess (the fans) were kind ol
down back in my first year here."
the 6-foot-8 forward said. “They
didn‘t think I could (play here). I
think that motivated tne a lot to
work harder to prove to them that I
could."

Atld he did. He went frotit art un-
dersizcd center in his freshman sea
son to a versatile fronteourt substi-
tute. Along the way, he developed a
stntxrth up-and-under move and a
solid three-point shot.

“He's probably gotten the most
out of his ability that he could possi-
bly get,” Pitino said. “He's become
a real good three-point shooter. lle's
become an excellent passer, a good
foul shooter."

llis development was hindered
from time to time by a series of nag-
ging injuries. He suffers frotn a se—
vere case of scoliosis, which eventu-
ally may require surgery. He
sustained a hairline fracture in his
foot last year.

And the salvo of whacks Marti-
nez' nose has taken in his time at
UK have become near-legendary.

“lle‘s gotten about two inches
smaller because of the scoliosis in
his back. but his nose has grown
about two inches because of all the
shots he's taken to it," l’itino said.

 

If Martinez is famous for auy~
thing. it‘s for his penchant for foul-
ing. l’itino even went so far as to
speak with the Southeastern (‘onfer-
cncc's league office earlier this year
to ask the referees to take it easy on
Martinez.

It‘s a common sight to see the for‘
ward stare in disbelief after
being whistled for a hack.

“I just think he's very fun-
tiy when he never thinks he
fouls anyone." l’itino said.
“He thinks the rclcrees are
totally against him. He
thinks they don't like (‘u-
bans."

Martinez's future looks
bright. He said he is “about
a year“ from his degree, and
next January, he plans to
marry his fiancee, Missy l)iehr. a
UK senior froin (Tolumbus. ( )hio.

He hopes to go into coaching
someday, and for now, playing pro-
fessional basketball irt abroad is on
his mind as well.

“If the opportunity is there, I
would love to (play pro ball)," Mar-
tinez said. “I wouldn't mind going
overseas. I think it would be fun to
see other parts of the world."

But that doesn't mean he‘s anx-
ious to move on frotn UK. After all,
unlike his peers, he attended only
one college, and he spent just four
years in blue and white.

“I would love to keep playing
here," Martinez said. “This is a
great place to play. I wish it could
keep going."

Injured Dent
moonlights
as a coach

 

By Doc Purcell
Staff Writer

 

Rodney Dent lay crumpled on
the Rupp Arena floor, his face
cringed in pain, his hzuids clinching
his freshly injured left knee.
Around him a whirlwind of tezun-
tnates, coaches and trainers in-
quired of his condition, perhaps
wondering if they wanted to know.

Dent, after all, was the UK has-
ketball team’s omnipotent inside
force. At 6-foot-ll and 240
pounds. be combined height and
bulk, a feature no other Wildcat
post-player could boast.

And this was his senior season —
the swzui song of a collegiate ath-
lete. It was to be a special one. He
had gathered two years of playing
experience at Odessa (Texas) Jun-
ior College, a basketball factory
that had produced current NBA star
Larry Johnson.

Then it was on to the
Bluegrass, where he struted
32 of 34 games and contrib-
uted tnore than six points an
outing for a talent-stocked
learn that reached the
NCAA Final Four.

llis second and final sea-
son as a Wildcat also began
with great success. 'l‘hrough
l0 games this year, he was
averaging more than 10
points a night and was one
of coach Rick Pitino’s starters.

It was the l lth game of the carn-
paign — a Southeastem Confer-
ence match-up with long-time ad-
versary Vanderbilt — that proved
to be Dent‘s Waterloo.

He tangled with Commodore for-
ward Bryan Milbum then slumped
to the court early in the game.

llis teammates and coaches soon
got the dreadful news, the Cats‘
center, known affectionately as
“Moon," had tom his anterior cru-
ciate ligament, bringing his senior
season to an abrupt end.

He sat quietly on the sidelines in
the second half, watching the other
UK players, knowing that Rupp
Arena was no longer his domain.

UK won that game in easy fash-
ion, but went on to struggle in con
ference road match-ups with Geor-

gia and Florida, its stars seemingly
unable to shine without Moon‘s
presence.

But that was then, and this is
now. The Wildcats have found their
niche, and so has Dent.

“He's a very funny person," UK
forward (iimel Martinez said. “I
think he has recovered a lot. He has
made great progress with his knee."

While his teammates boast a No.
7 national ranking and are readying
themselves for the madness of
March, Dent knows he can‘t be a
part of that — at least not in the
box scores. He has, however, found
himself in an equally meaningful
role. No longer can he be seen sit-
ting sornberly on the bench wearily
watching the other Wildcats.

“I want to sit over there and
coach if I can‘t play." Dent said.

“(l) help coach l’itiuo out. holler
at (my tezunmates) and get them
sparked up zutd ready to play."

“He’s always there encouraging
us and cheering us on,” senior for-
ward Jeff Brassow said.

His sideline demeanor certainly
was saddening just after the injury,
but now he is seemingly the wildest
Cat of all, taking on a role as an
emotional spark and a worthy l’iti-
no assistant.

brash, much like his play on the
court. llis knee is rapidly improv-
ing through rehab. and he hopes to
begin running in several weeks.

One small ray of hope remains
for Dent to suit tip in a UK uniform
again. The University plans to send
zui appeal to the NCAA in hopes of
earning him a medical rcdshirt —
arid ultimately another year of eligi—
bility.

No matter what the outcome,
however, the Moon has and surely
will continue to shine light around
the UK bench this season.

Book giveaway
benefits campus

EDITORIAL

UK’s Student Health Service may soon be overwhelmed
with bookworms complaining of back problems after hauling
home boxes whose contents were more precious than gold.

The Student Center grand ballroom was filled with 50,000
free books last week — for a brief time, at least — and gleeful
academics swarmed the room, dashing from table to table
rummaging through piles of volumes and filling cardboard
boxes with their treasures.

Universities are full of those who, as children. hoardcd
books instead of trucks or dolls m kids who would rather have
been under a shade tree with Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys
than on a dusty baseball field.

Those inner children were rewarded with an early Christ-
mas, and we have Penguin Books, the Christian Appalachian
Project and, most especially, the Student Government Associ-
ation to thank.

This is the kind of service for students that goes beyond the
call of duty for SGA.

It is a service that serves as recreation for students, one that
disproves the myth that no one reads for pleasure anymore.

The giveaway also enhances academics on campus.

No one knows better than students how expensive books are,
and after spending $250 on textbooks each semester, it is diffi-
cult to spend money on books just because you enjoy learning.
For many of us, it was an opportunity to pick up some things
that we always meant to read, but never quite got around to
purchasing.

Through this iveaway, SGA helped tnakc learning more ac-
cessible for sin ents.

The groups involved in the giveaway deserve our thanks.
And at least now, we all have something to read on the beach
during spring break.

Topics to avoid
during election

This is my favorite time of
year. We alternate between cold
days and warm days. Idiots wear
shorts and T-shirts in 30 degree
weather because, darn it, the sky
is blue and the sun is out.

Midterm tests are upon us, ac-
counting possibly for the mindset
of the idiots in shorts. And along
with midterrns, Student Govem-
ment Association elections are
upon us.

As we start to be
