Students take of early;
Faculty advocate staying

By Anthony Zechella

Contributing Writer

If you are readin this article, there is a good
chance you are attendgin or conducting a class today.

Ordinarily, Wednesdgay classes are not the materi-
al for a story, but the desolate nature of campus illus-
trates that you are out of the norm.

Traditionally, the Wednesday before Thanksgiv-
ing is a day when a large number of professors and
students alike are stricken with some strange illness
that causes the cancellation of classes.

In actuality, some professors simply cancel classes
so students can travel, while others treat this day the
same as any other and have class.

This disparity in policy creates strong opinions
among both students and administrators.

Scott Fineisen, accounting junior, thinks cancel-
ing Wednesday classes makes sense.

“I think that having classes canceled is good
because this time of year, both students and faculty
need a break from school,” he said.

Fineisen thinks students should have this day off
because the University does not yet provide a fall
break.

“An extra day off is the least they can do,”
Fineisen said.

Andrew Hess, secondary education junior, said
VVednesday’s class schedule should depend on the
validity of each class.

Cronkite upset
that Brinkley apologized

NEW YORK —— Walter Cronkite said Mon-
day he’s disappointed that his fellow broadcast
veteran David Brinkley apologized for calling
President Clinton “a bore."

As a commentator, Brinkley is entitled to
express his opinions, Cronkite said. Rather than
apologize, he should have put Clinton on the
spot.

“Why shouldn’t he have an opinion ifhe thinks
the president is boring?" asked Cronkite, who
retired in 1981 as the “CBS Evening News”
anchor, in an interview with The Associated
Press.

“If he’s not going to a ologize, then the nice
thing would have been if e had said, ‘Mr. Presi—
dent, you know now that I think you’re boring.
You've got 10 minutes to prove me wrong’,” he
said.

193'" owners l‘atily new agreement

CHICAGO —— Baseball owners reversed them-
selves and ratified a new collective bargaining
agreement yesterday, ending a four-year f1 ht
with their players and ushering in a new era t at
includes interleague play and revenue sharing.

Approval came in 26—4 vote, three more than
the three-quarters majority needed for ratifica-
tion. The same proposal was voted down 18-12
three weeks ago, and this latest vote represents a
shift of 14 votes.

Final approval from players could come next
week, when the union’s executive board meets in
Puerto Rico.

“A long and winding road has come to an
end," acting commissioner Bud Selig said. “Base—
ball fans can finally look forward to five years of
uninterrupted play. We can now work together to
bring )eace to the game. This very difficult and
painful process is now behind us."

“The University should go ahead and not have
class campus-wide unless classes are actually going to
be useful,” he said.

However, to David Stockham, dean of students,
the policy is not that subjective.

“My perception is that we should follow the class
schedule. Any deviation leads to inadequacy,” said
Stockham.

While Stockham understands the students’ desire
to go home, he believes policy is policy.

“Even though you want to go home early, you
might as well attend class because you paid the
money to go here,” he said.

Jane Riggs, assistant English adviser, also thinks
following school policy is the best way to maintain

On the other hand, communications professor
Susan Morgan understands why students want to go
home.

“Everyone wants to see their family and friends, so
I don’t take it personally when students do not show
up the day before break,” she mid

Nevertheless, she has an obligation to teach class
and rewards the students who show up that day.

“I don’t cancel class because I have a job to do and
there are a limited number of days in the semester,”
Morgan said.

“The students are adults with their own priorities,
but I try to give them an incentive by taking atten—

In the first

round of the tour-
nament on Friday,
the Cats lost 68-54
to Michigan. But
UK bounced back
the following day
with a 61-44 win over Western
Michigan.

“We did well,” said UK head
coach Bernadette Mattox. “What
we've got to understand is that
we’ve got a young team. I’m start-
ing probably three freshmen. So

 

Mattox

said. “We need scorers
and she’s obviously got to take on
that role too.

“Not so much just one thing,
but she’s got to be a complete
player in our system.”

Martinez and fellow freshmen
will take their next ste as they
return to the court tonig t in their
home opener against Michigan
State.

It is only the Cats second game
all time against the Spartans and
UK won the lone matchup 89-72
in 1989.

Despite the fact that the young
Cats have two re lar season
games under their belt: nerves are

still there.

“I always get the nerves before
every single game,” Martinez said.
“But once the ball is in the air, I’m
set and ready to play.”

Defeating the Spartans will be a
challen e for the Cats.

Mic igan State returns all five
starters from last year’s 18-1 1
squad although they were defeated
82-72 by No. 21 Texas in its
opemn game. »

Mic igan State is led by guards
Tamika Matlock and Jamie Wes-
ley, who both scored 14 points in
the opener.

“They’re a veteran basketball
club so we’re really going to have
to be smart offensively, take care
of the basketball, and get back on
defense because they’re a transi-
tion team,” Mattox said.

UK will also have an ailing
Shaunda Roberts who is listed as
questionable for this evening. She
suffered a lower back injury
against Western Michigan and did
not play against Michigan.

Last season Roberts was the
leading scorer for the Cats averag-
ing more than 17 points—per-game
and she put in 22 points against
Western Michigan.

“That back is irritating her a
little bit, but I’ve asked the team to
step up and they have,” Mattox
said.

“But obviously we’re waiting on
her to come back.”

Indiana hires Washington assistant

Cameron replaces

Mallory as head coach

Associated Press
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. ——
Cam Cameron, quarterbacks

coach of the Washington Red-
skins, got his first head coaching
assignment yesterday, returning to
Indiana as Bill Mallory’s replace-
ment as football coach.

Cameron, who played football
and basketball at Indiana, was
introduced as the Hoosiers’ new
football coach at a news confer-
ence yesterday morning. He
signed a seven-year contract.

“There’s all sorts of sentimen-
tal reasons you can come up with,
that I grew up here, it's my alma
mater, but the bottom line is to
put together one of the quality
programs in the country. That’s
the objective,” Cameron said.

He said he would remain with
the Redskins throu h the end of
the NFL season, shuttling back
and forth to Bloominigton as he
puts together a new In 'ana staff.

“I don’t know that scary is the
term," he said when asked about
his first head coaching job.

“I’ve got no fear in this deal.
I’m not scared about what can or
can’t happen. I’m going to turn
this thing loose. We’re going to
have a heck of a time we’re
going to have some fun. I’m not
going to be a worrywart.”

Athletic Director Clarence
Doninger said a selection commit-
tee looked at “various profiles” for
a coach.

“But one of the profiles that
intrigued us was a coach that had
Indiana ties, a coach that had been
involved in the college ranks and
in the pro ranks. We have a per-
son, we have the person,” he said.

Mallory, who was fired Oct. 31,
compiled a 69-77-3 record in 13
seasons -— Indiana records both
for victories and losses — but the
Hoosiers dropped to 2-9 last year
and 3-8 this season.

A victory over Purdue on Sat-
urday snapped a 15- me Big Ten
losing streak by the oosiers.

“I know there’s a foundation
here,” Cameron said. “Knowing

how I like to recruit, the kind of
kids we want, I think we can get
the job done. We can compete
with anyone in the country in
facilities and the challenge is
getting the job done.”

Cameron, stepson of former
Indiana State football coach Tom
Harp, played at Terre Haute
South High School.

He was a backup quarterback
for two years at Indiana and played
basketball for three years before a
football knee injury ended his
playing career.

Cameron coached under Bo
Schembechler and then Gary
Moeller at Michigan, first as a
graduate assistant for We years
and as a full-time assistant the next
eight years.

He has made his mark at devel-
oping quarterbacks, as well as
receivers.

Three of his Michigan 035 are
in the NFL this season: Jim Har-
bau h, Elvis Grbac and Todd
Colfins.

His Wolverine receivers
included Desmond Howard, Chris
Calloway and Derrick Alexander.
