In remembrance of Martin Luther
King Jr. and his dream, two local
Christian churches joined together
in worship Sunday.

An ecumenical worship service
was held at Central Christian
Church to bring together members
of its predominantly white congre-
gation and members of the predom-
inantly black congregation of East
Second Christian Church to cele-
brate the life of King, the slain civil
rights activist who died in Mem—
phis, Tenn., April 4, 1968.

“Bringing the two churches to-
gether is following along the same
line of thinking Martin Luther King
Jr. would have wanted and had in-
tended," said Becky McDowell, a
member of Central Christian, 205
E. Short St.

Featured speaker Richard W.
Donelan, an assistant professor in
the UK College of Education, dis-
cussed the symbolism of King's “I
Have a Dream“ speech and said he
thinks the vision King had will con-
tinue to manifest itself in our every-
day lives, individually and collec-
tively.

“People can't just believe in the

Nlttt‘titi l Ulht‘r King lr.’s
Birthday

dream once a year, they must fol-
low and believe in it 365 days a
year,” he said.

Donelan encouraged each person
to play his part in makingKing’s
dream of unity and equality among
the races a reality.

In addition to stressing racial
equality, he spoke about the prob-
lems of homelessness and unem-
ployment.

La Neia Hawkins, a UK senior,
sang a solo for the group Sunday
evening along with other various
choir groups and gospel singers.

At the end of the service, the
group stood in a circle in the church
and joined hands in prayer, “just
like Dr. Martin Lutlter King envi-
sioned," several members said.

By KELLEY POPHAM
Assistant News Editor

It was a cold morning in down-
town Lexington, but community
spirit warmed the hearts, if not the
hands, of more than 1,000 marchers
who gathered at Heritage Hall in
commemoration of the birthday of
Martin Luther King Jr.

The theme for the march and can-
dle lighting ceremony was “United
We Stand A Call To Action,”
but a far more overpowering theme
rose from the voices of student
marchers as they sang the words
“we shall overcome someday."

With tear-filled eyes, student
marcher Kennetha Davis sang with
fellow students from United Carn-
pus Ministry and Black Voices.

“From what I know Lexington is
one of the most prejudiced places,"
said Davis, an English and athletic
training freshman. “For them to rec-
ognize the holiday is like saying
they’re giving everything Martin
thought of or dreamed of a chance
and giving blacks and whites and
the different colors the chance to
come together as one without being
selfish."

More than 30 organizations, in-
cluding the NAACP, local church
groups, WCKU-FM (1.1102), UK’s
Albert B. Chandler Medical Center,
Black Grads of UK and several so-
cial fraternities and sororities, par-
ticipated in the 1.5 mile march.

“I think it’s important for every-
body to join together because it
shows their starting to understand
racism and their trying to become
more as one people than just black
or white and all different races,"
said Melody Holliman, a chemical
engineering freshman who marched
with the United Campus Ministry.

Fred Duerson said he understands
segregation and King‘s struggle far
more than many of the younger
marchers beside him. Duerson said
racism was prevalent in schools and
neighborhoods when he was grow-
ing up.

Duerson recalled one incident in
South Carolina while in basic train-
ing in the Marines when he was
forced to eat in the back room of a
bus station because he was black.

“I’m not bitter about it," he said.
“That was just the way it was... . It
didn't keep me from being able to
raise three children and get a job. I
always felt like I was taught to be a
Christian, treat everybody right, and
God would take care of me and he
has.

“When I was coming out of the
service the movement was going
pretty good at the time. I think the
cause of (King‘s) preaching and
teaching equal rights enabled me to
get a job and provide for my fami-
ly."

The candle lighting ceremony,
which followed the march, concen-
trated on preserving those themes
for which King gave his life, such
as the bond of the family, education
and bringing together a community
of nations in good will. Speakers in-
cluded several civic leaders such as
Lexington Mayor Scotty Baesler
and UK President Charles Wething—
ton. UK's Black Voices organiza-

 

Speaker:
Conspiracy
killed King

By KYLE FOSTER
News Editor

One person, Jamcs Earl
Ray, was convicted of the
assassination of Martin Lu-
ther King Jr. in 1968, but
some people insist that Ray
was part of a conspiracy, of
which the FBI had knowl-
edge but chose to ignore.

Investigative writer Jeff
Cohen presented what he
deemed to be conclusive CV»
idence last night that the
FBI did not investigate
King’s assassination thor-
oughly, or it would have
proved that Ray could not
have acted alone in April
1968.

“If a serious murder in-
vestigation had been made.
we might have found out
who killed Martin Luther
King Jr., but the FBI was al»
lowed to run the investiga—
tion,“ he said.

Cohen said he has been
investigating FBI involve-
ment in King’s life since the
civil-rights activist‘s death
and has found that the FBI
wired-tapped King's
phones, bugged his hotel
rooms and planted false sto—
ries in newspapers across
the country.

“It's possible that King
was the most investigated
citizen ever." he said.

Cohen also claims that he
was spied upon by the FBI
for his involwnicnt in Cl\ll-
rights activities.

He said he was able to
look at part of art FBI file

dom of Information Act cs-

the House of
Representatives
Friday by a 56-

choppy waters
lie ahead for the

Already the

bill calls for the complete ouster of
all university boards and the state
Council on Higher Education.

It also would create a committee
that would nominate people from
whom the governor would chose
board appointees.

Senate Majority Leader John
“Eek" Rose (D-Winchester) said
Friday the bill will not be heard in
his house for a few weeks.

“We're very early in the session,
so I see no need for this legislation
to be on the fast track," Rose said.

Evidence of Senate opposition
arose late last week when Senate
Minority Leader John Rogers (R-
Somerset) mailed letters to all uni-
versity board members asking them

to lobby against the bill.

In those few weeks. all sides ad-
mit there will be a lot of negotia-
tion. Rose said he wants to meet
again with Gov. Brereton Jones,
who has endorsed the bill.

Rose said his last meeting with
Jones left some of his questions un-
answered. “I did not leave that
meeting with a clear understanding
of where he was coming from."

One of the proposals would be for
the governor to reappoint a number
— 25 to 50 percent — of trustees
and regents currently serving on the
board. Jones has said he would to

State budget woes won’t delay UK library,
if General Assembly approves it this year

By GREGORY A. HALL
Associate Editor

FRANKFORT, Ky. —- The
bleak projections surrounding the
state's budget, which is expected
to be released in less than a week,
apparently will not delay the
building of a new central library
at UK.

Provided the library project is
approved, UK's requesting of a

$46 million bond issue in second
year of the biennium would not
delay the project. The University
originally had requested the bond
issue in the first year of the bien-
nium.

The Gov. Brereton Jones Ad-
ministration has said cuts in the
total appropriation given to the
state universities are possible.

“I believe there is a significant
possibility that there will be actu-

al cuts in next year‘s state tiind-
ing of the higher education sys-
tem," said Cabinet Secretary Kc-
vin Hable. “That's not to say
there will be cuts in the second
year. We will have more revenue
available, and there will be it far
lesser likelihood of cuts in the
second year."

Don’t call him Randy

Travis Tritt’s newest release continues fusion of rock, country

It’s All About To Change
Travis Tritt
Warner Brothers

By DAVE LAVENDER
Staff Critic

Not too many years ago. guitarist
Lonnie Mack recorded a song that
said, “I'm too rock for country, too
country for rock 'n' roll."

Unfortunately for Mack, the state-
ment proved to be painfully true.
For at that time. the rock and coun-
try mixture was like drinking and
driving: a deadly combination.

But that was then and Tritt is
now.

Travis Tritt, that is.

Tritt, who seems to have taken
the torch of rebel yell from Hank
Williams Jr., proves that it is not
only all right for one's music to be
influenced by the Allman Brothers
and James Taylor. as well as Merle
Haggard. but that it is also down-
right vogue.

It was no stroke of beginner's
luck that Tritt’s first two albums:
Country Club and his new release,
11': All About To Change, have both
gone platinum. Nor is it luck that

o n'él‘riéiv o

Tritt's newest release is at No. 29
and climbing on the Billboard Pop
Charts.

Tritt, a brilliant balladeer from
Marietta, Ga, has quickly endeared
himself to country and rock fans.
He seems to have it all: a trademark
husky voice, good looks, great
songwriting ability and last, but not
least. a great sense of humor. After
winning the Horizon Award (best
new artist) from the Country Music
Association, Tritt quickly quipped,
“Maybe people will quit calling me
Randy" (referring to fellow artist
Randy Travis).

It also is his sense of humor that
sparked the first release off his new
album, which skyrocketed to No. 1.
From the same vein as the George
Jones classic, “The Last Thing I
Gave Her Was The Bird," Tritt's.
“Here's A Quarter (Call Someone
Who Cares),” which he jokingly

 

Call someone who’ll listen and might give a

damn, maybe one of your sordid affairs/but don‘t
j_ you come 'round here handin’ me none of your
:' I

'nes/Here's a quarter, call someone who cares.

Travis Tritt,
performer

 

wrote about his ex-wife, has be-
come an instant classic, as well as
the national anthem for folks on the
mend.

To prove his sardonic sense of
humor, Tritt debuted the song on
“The Tonight Show," stating, “If
anyone could relate to a song for di-
vorcees, it was those two guys
(Johnny Carson and Ed McMa-
hon).”

Tritt’s landmark chorus, “Call
someone who’ll listen and might
give a damn, maybe one of your
sordid affairs/but don’t you come
'round here handin‘ me none of
your lines/Here‘s a quaner, call
someone who cares."

Tritt, who penned seven of the 10
songs on the album. scores with his
ballads, such as the No. 1 hit, “Any-

On Every Street

Depending on how well you like
a musical smorgasbord. the Dire
Straits’ first album since 1985 is re-
markable either for its diversity or
lack of focus.

No one is going to accuse lead
singer Mark Knopfler of being
stuck in a nit, that’s for certain. On

Fuel"), cocktail-lounge jau (“Fade

to Black”), folk music (“iron
Hand"), and swinging homs (“My
Parties”). The band spares us any
rap.

Pulling this potential mess to-
gether are Knopfler's laid-back
singing, jaw-dropping guitar licks
and wry humor — “My Parties"

and “Heavy Fuel" are Strait-faced
satire more worthy of a bookshelf

I: that a record rack.

Knopfler sometimes shifts gears

too abruptly (from lonely Dobro to

full orchestra at one point). Many of
his ideas are recycled from earlier
albums, and this one would have
benefited from tighter editing. The
opener “Calling Elvis" runs on for
more than six minutes — did Elvis
ever cut a six-minute song? Still,
On Every Street explores more sty—
listic avenues in 12 songs and 60
minutes than many major pop
groups cover in an entire career.

ing," which was inspired by Harley
Davidson rides taken with his fa-
ther and Atlanta Falcons coach Jer-
ry Glanville.

However, it is Tritt's brash, hard-
driven translations of “Don‘t Give
Your Heart To A Rambler," a 1954
Jimmie Skinner bluegrass tune, and
a live, eight-guitars-wailing version
of an Atlanta Rhythm Section's
tune, “Homesick." which really sets
this album on the cutting edge of
the industry.

With Tritt’s tear-stained pen and
blue-collar guitar work, it was hard-
ly necessary to dial assistance.

However, the collaborations with
touring mate Marty Stuart, South~
em—rockers Little Feat and Tanya
Tucker, Country Music Associa-
tion’s Female Vocalist of the Year,
are incredibly smooth and add that
extra spice to the album.

Classical meets country at the
crossroads on, ”Someone For Me,"
as ex-Eagles member Bernie Lea-
don and Nashville studio musicians
Billy Walker Jr.. Matt Rollings and
Paul Franklin, are interwoven with
an orchestra of violins, cellos and
even congas. With Tritt's gritty
lead vocals and Tucker's gravely
harmony blending as one, the only
thing that can stop this song from
hitting the top of the charts is the
New Madrid Fault's re-routing it-
self through Music City.

Tritt displays his Southem-fried
rock best during a live recording of
“Homesick.” and on “Biblebelt,” a
true story weaved into song about a
married youth pastor running off
with a married piano player in a
church Tritt attended in Marietta.

High-scoring Houston
leads Tennessee attack

Denying Vols’
star the ball
key to victory,
Pitino says

By TIM WIESENHAHN
Sports Editor

The “haves" and “have nets" of
this world can do more than affect
social, political and economic
change. They, too, can affect the
outcome of many of life's less sig-
nificant, but perhaps more enter-
taining pastimes. Namely, UK-
Tennessee basketball games.

With a basketball in his hands,
Tennessee guard Allan Houston be-
comes a have.

“He has great range, he goes to
the basket well," said UK coach
Rick Pitino. “Certainly, he does the
things that make him one of the pre-
mier guards in the country."

Houston's 20 points per game av-
erage leads the Volunteers. He has
scored 20 or
more points
eight times this
season. He
ranks among the
Southeastern
Conference's
leaders in scor-
ing, field-goal
percentage,
three-point field

oal enta e,

imfiwrfpfl HOUSTON
game, free throw percentage and as-
sists.

Without a basketball, however,
Houston may simply be a mortal.
No one is certain. No one has been
able affect him. No one on the
Vols‘ schedule, anyway.

But tonight in the Vols’ 24,00-
plus Thompson-Boling Arena, the
Wildcats (14-2; 4-0) hope to lower
Houston’s all-hoops status. They
hope to make him a have not.

”The fewer times he has the ball
in his hands, the more effective
your defense is going to be," Pitino
said. “You’ve got to keep the ball
away from him as much as possi-
ble."

Last season, UK won both meet-
ings — 78-74 in Knoxville and 85-
74 in Lexington. But Houston could
not be stopped. He scored 20 points
and grabbed six rebounds in Knox-
ville and had 26 points in Lexing-
ton. The 6-foot—6 junior has aver-
aged 18.3 points against the Cats.

“This is a very difficult game.”
Pitino said. “They (Tennessee) play
very well at home, they’re a much
deeper team this year."

Tennessee ( 9-6; 2-2) has lost two
straight and three of its last four.
Last week, the Vols lost 73-59 at
South Carolina and 71-65 at Flori-
da. Nevertheless, Pitino refuses to
take Tennessee lightly.

“They are deeper, more experi-
enced, they rebound extremely
well," Pitino said. “We’ve had two
very good ball games down there,
so we expect another one this year."

Still, Pitino said he likes his
team’s chances for victory.

“I like the way we play on the
road." he said. “This team is con-
scious of what the road is all about

“(Playing on the road is) it's
about understanding — understand-
ing the whistle, understanding rest,
understanding preparation, under-
standing the seriousness that you
must be significantly better on the
road that you cannot doing anything
other than play 40 minutes.”

UK has not lost an SEC game on

the road this season. Many coaches
around the conference have said
that the Cats now possess a “signifi-
cant advantage.” Pitino, however,
disagrees.

“A leg up yes, but not a signifi-
cant advantage," he said. “It’s way
too early. It’s only four games into
the season. Nobody has any edge

.. right now.”

Notes:

-UK is ranked fifth in the nation
in three-point goals made per game,
first in the SEC in three-point goals
made per game and first in the SEC
in three-point defense.

-UK's opponents are averaging
24.2 percent from three-point range,
which leads the SEC.

-The Cats are taking more than
twice as many three-pointers ..s
their opponents and are making al-
most three times as many three-
pointers as its opponents.

-So far this season, UK is shoot—
ing 37.6 percent from three-point
range, the best percentage for the
Cats since the three-point shot was
adopted in 1986.

-Jamal Mashburn leads the Cats
in three-pointers made (30) and
three-point percentage (48.4 per-
cent).

-UK is 11 -0 when it shoots a bet-
ter three-point percentage than its
opponents.

-In 12 of 16 games this season, at
least one Wildcat has made more
three pointers than the entire oppos-
ing team.

-All but one Wildcat (Andre Rid-
dick) have taken a three-point shot.

-All but two Cats (Riddick and
Aminu Timberlake) have made a
three-point shot

Columnist
says Rupp
rich man’s
playhouse

By TIM WIESENHAHN

Let the Hog hype begin.

With Saturday‘s UK-
Arkansas game at Rupp Are-
na looming just beyond a
Tennessee-orange horizon, it
seems those of the Razorback
persuasion have already se-
cured a place in Hog heaven
—— atop the Southeastern
Conference.

In the Jan. 15 Arkansas
Democrat-Gazette, columnist
Wally Hall said the Hogs can
still win the SEC‘s Western
Division and the overall title,
too. Hall said he didn’t see
Arkansas losing another
game — including UK.

He says:

“Yes, I know they go to
Rupp Arena to play Ken-
tucky next Friday, but with
their 2-3 matchup zone and
huevos ranchero defense, the
Wildcats are going to have
big-time trouble.

“ .. The Wildcats have vir-
tually no inside game. They
live on the three-point shot
and the quickness of Arkan-
sas in the egg defense or the
matchup will severely dam-
age Kentucky’s shooting
from way out there."

In his Sept. 15 column,
Hall was less restrained.

“Of all the places the Hogs
will visit in the SEC during
their first basketball season,
the toughest will not be the
renowned Rupp Arena," Hall

See HOGS. Page 5

Pelphrey more interested
in winning basketball games
than achieving milestones

By BOBBY KING
Senior Staff Writer

John Pelphrey sat in front of a
locker with his blue-trimmed jersey
still clinging to his slender frame
and a warm-up jacket cloaked over
his shoulders.

His eyes, glowing from the glare

 

of the television
lights, peered
outward with
the look of an
awestruck kid
pressed against
the glass of a
candy store win-
dow.

The other

 

players were al-
ready showered
and back in
their street clothes, ready for the
post-game onslaught of questions.

But Pelphrey didn't move. seem-
ingly content to sit there and enjoy
the moment, nearly oblivious to the
three—deep gaggle of reporters who
were struggling around him to hear
the words that he spoke.

PELPHREY

His mind was on the basketball
that was lying beneath him on the
floor. Earlier Saturday afternoon,
teammate Dale Brown had thrown
him the ball on a fast break. After
pulling it to his body, he softly laid
the ball off the glass for two points.

Make that for 1,001 points.

No one seemed to recognize the
shot‘s significance at the time. The
24.090 spectators perched through-
out the darkened reaches of Rupp
Arena cheered as though it were
just another basket.

An Eastern Kentucky University
player picked up the ball and threw
it to another teammate, who
bounced it up the floor without hes-
