Student lobby effort

applauded by UK,
state lawmakers

By TOM SPALDING
Executive Editor

When State Rep. Ernesto Scor—
sone was an undergraduate at UK,
student activism was at a fever
pitch. Students were involved in
several causes, including lobbying
state leaders on behalf of higher ed»
ucation.

But during the last decade, the
student lobby in Frankfort quieted
to a hush.

This year, however, state legisla-
tors and UK officials say that the
student lobbying is the best they've
seen in a long time.

“I wouldn’t say it’s unprecedent-
ed, but it is a real shift in what has
been going on in the last six to eight
years," said Scorsone, D-75th. “It's
a dramatic improvement"

Scorsone said that the ideas gen-
erated by student leaders in the last
year are having an impact on Frank-

"I think (the effort) has been re-
fined, I think it's a little more orga-
nized and a cautious effort is being
made to contact legislators and to
set up a continuing dialogue," Scor-
sone said.

In the last 10 years there was “a
real lag" in student lobbying, Scor-
sone said. But attitudes have
changed, many say, since legisla-
tors met in the 1988 General As-
sembly.

"Involvement in higher education
as it pertains to funding seems to
have grown in the last two years,"
said Bernie Vonderheide, a UK
spokesman. “I think students un-
derstand, to their credit, :1 lot bet-
ter."

After UK was forced to deal with
an austere state budget two years
ago, a few students — including
Council on Higher Education repre-
sentative Jim Hill, then-Student
Govemnicnt Association President
James Rose and then-state coordi-
nator for governmental relations for
the Board of Student Body Presi-
dents Jeff Speaks —— decided a
more unified approach among stu-
dents was necessary to avoid a re-
peat.

“I knew in 1990 the session
would be one of the most impor-
tant." Speaks said. “It was a very
fundamental change in that schools
are working closer together than
they ever have, which is the great-
est benefit we could ever hope for."

Speaks' torch was passed to John
Elder, a UK junior from Owensbo-
to. Elder began lobbying legislators
through a vigorous statewide letter-
writing campaign, which resulted
in more than l.0()0 letters being
written in support of higher educa-
tion.

“I think students are much more

Clay left note on Blazer
over Christmas break

By TONJA WILT
Campus Editor

A note left on the front doors of
Blazer Hall by Director of Resi-
dence Life Bob Clay may have
contributed to the theft of $3,077 in
valuables over Christmas break, ac-
cording to UK Police.

Two suspects are being investi—
gated in connection with the break-
in at the North Campus residence
hall, according to UK Police.

Police suspect that the intruders
saw a note left on the front door of
Blazer Hall directing UK women
basketball players returning early to
campus to enter the building
through the loading dock door, ac—
cording to UK Police Chief W.H.
McComas.

The note. believed to have been
placed on the front doors Dec. 21,
was written by Clay, McComas
said.

“You don't put a note up that the
back door's unlocked.“ McComas
said. “I just think it’s an unwise
thing to do. There are alternatives."

Clay admitted yesterday that he
left the note on the door. but he
questioned whether it led to the
break-in.

“Leaving a note on a door does

not precipitate a break-in." Clay
said. “They could have accessed
the building with or without the
note."

A set of improperly locked doors
in the basement of the residence
hall also contributed to the break-
in, McComas said. The doors,
which have a triple lock system,
only had two of the locks bolted, he
said.

The burglary has caused some
Blazer Hall residents to lose faith in
residence hall security

“I don’t feel secure. I feel Violat-
ed." said Victoria Glass. who had
more than $100 wonh of valuables
taken from her room. “Someone
came in here and took meaningful
stuff that belonged to my granti—
mother and great aunt. I had uusted
it here at the dorm, stupidly.

“It was a traumatic experience."
said Glass, a psychology tunior. “I
felt like the RA‘s and the hall di-
rector were real helpful. They were
there. were consoling. They did as
much as they could do. I“ were in
their shoes, there would be nothing
I could do better."

Marla Ann Sottarelli. who had
less than $100 in valuables taken
from her room, said that the Uni-
versity acted carelessly.

Soviet troops clash with Azerbaijani rebels

By ANDREW KATELL
Associated Press

MOSCOW — Dozens of muti-
nous Azerbaijani military cadets
fired on Soviet troops patrolling
their capital yesterday, and tens of
thousands of people inoumed vic—
tims of a bloody crackdown on
their republic's nationalist uprising.

The cadets, jomed by comrades
from the neighboring Caucasus re-
public of Georgia. battled for 20
minutes in the morning and sporad-
ically throughout the day with So-
viet soldiers at Baku's garrison and
military academy, Arif Yunusov of
the Azerbaijani Social Democratic
Group reported.

The downtown garrison was the
scene of some of the most fierce
fighting when thousands of troops
stomied into Baku, the \OtthCl'n re-
public‘s capital. early Saturday and
broke through barricades erected
by militants.

Sporadic fighting has continued
since On Saturday. in the first re:

Azerbatiani soldiers fought a

restore order.

OccaSional shots rang out else-
where in Baku yesterday, Yunusov
and Radio Moscow reported. The
activist said by telephone from
Baku that one bullet broke a win-
dow in his apartment building.

Cooperation needed in dealing with education, official says

By REGINA SWIFT
Staff Writer

Cooperation and collaboration
between educators of all levels is
the key to correcting many of the
problems in the nation's education-
al system, according to Leonard L.
Haynes, assistant secretary for
post-secondary education in the
US. Department of Education.

During his speech last Monday
night at the Hyatt Regency Hotel,
Haynes offered several suggestions

for improving UK’s recruitment
and retention of minority students
in teacher education and commend—
ed the University for its present
programs.

“Cooperation and collaboration.
Working together to accomplish
great things. More than ever. we
need this kind of approach to edu~
cation," Haynes said. “It is not ‘we'
and ‘they.’ It is ‘us together."‘

Haynes was appointed by Presi-
dent Bush last October to be re-
sponsible for about $10 billion of

federal funds which are used for
“student financial aid and others in
post secondary education.“ That is
almost half the department‘s bud~
get, Haynes said.

Haynes is responsible for admin-
istering more than 40 student f inan-
cial aid, institutional aid and inter-
national education programs.

In addition to cooperation,
Haynes suggested that UK and oth-
er institutions “offer as a part of
their orientation 3 course on the im-
ponance of education."

“We have to tell them it‘s impor-
tant to be a teacher. Teaching is
about the only place you get the
chance at immortality. because
through you, they ichildren or stu-
dents) livc. You can impact peo-
ple's lives in ways that wdl last
forever," Haynes said.

"Most people cart only remem-
ber three or four teachers. But what
if there weren‘t those three or
four?“

One of the biggest problems in
the financml aid program is the

high rate of students who default on
their loans. Haynes said.

While his budget is close to $11)
billion. he \dltl that $10 billion is
being lost because of students not
repaying their loans.

Haynes said that everyone has
the right to be educated and institu~
tions like UK have the ft‘SpOflSlbllh
ty to educate them.

There are about 13 million mi-
nority students. Haynes said.
“Thcy, too, must be included in the
(education) revolumin."

1n (itilil‘omia. if the current lll‘
.reasc in the Hispanic population
ctillilllUCS. 2% more college cam-
puses will be needed by 2005.
Haynes said.

"The data is not lying. We have
to do something," he said. “With-
out the rcqutrcd skills, reading and
writing, those people Wlll not be
able to own a detached house. You
can not sugar-coat this problem.

inches to 18 feet. 6 inches is tough.
you ought to hear some of the other
ideas the NCAA rules committee
was kicking around.

How about trying extra points
from the hashmarks?

Or placing the PAT kick out at the
25-yard line?

Or making long field goals, say
from 40 yards and up, worth more
than the chipshot short ones?

The rulesmakers chose a less dra-
matic route according to Dave Nel-
son of the University of Delaware,
secretary of the rules committee that
voted this week to squeeze the posts
nearly five feet. The rule takes effect
next st‘astttl it approved by the
NCAA Executive Committee, which
will tonsidei it iii May.

“This is not revolutionary,” Nel-
son said. “We're just going back to
where we were.“

Nelson said the rulesmakers wi-
dened the goalposts from 18-6 to 23-
4 m 1959 after being alarmed at just
64 field goals made nationwide in
1957. “The reason we changed was
that the game is called football," he
said. “It didn't have enough kicking
then."

There were other incentives added
— first the 1—inch tee in 1949, then
the limb tee in 1965. By 1988, the
leg was back in the swing of things
with 1.420 field goals nationwide.
This, however, was not exactly what
the rules people had in mind. “The
balance between touchdowns and
field goals went well beyond what
we anticipated." Nelson said.

So, they pulled back, voting a year
ago to take away tees from the kick-
ers after they made 67.6 percent of
their field goal attempts in 1988.
The result was that in 1989, the per-
centage went up to 69.2.

“We‘re not always such good ora-
cles." Nelson said.

A year ago, the American Football
Coaches Association suggested nar-
rowing the posts but leaving the
tees.

“1 don’t know if they had to do
both," said Syracuse coach Dick
MacPherson, who saw his school's
record of 262 consecutive PATs end
in the tee-less opener last season.
“The coaches make recommendations
to the committee and they do what
they want. [just think they ought to
listen to the coaches more closely.
"they‘re more involved."

Dennis Erickson, coach of national
.hampioii Miami. wishes the rules-
makers would just leave well enough
alone.

“We keep fiddling with a good
game," he said. “We keep changing
things. Why, 1 just don't under-
stand."

Erickson said his team got a taste
of what narrower goal posts would
be like when the Hurricanes prepared
for the Sugar Bowl at the New Or-
leans Saints’ practice facilities,
which are equipped with the NFL‘s
18-6 goalposts. “You think you hit
it good and it‘s not," he said.

“It will make a big difference. This
puts a premium on accuracy. It
makes it a different game. You get a
great college kicker and first they
take away his tee and now they nar-
row the goal posts. They're making
it tough on these kids."

Penn State placekicker Ray Tarasi,
who made 19 of 23 field goal tries
this season, sees the change as no
big deal.

“What is it. two feet on each
side?" he said. “1f 1 hit it right, it‘s
down the middle. anyway. You don't
shave the posts on kicks. Most field
goals that are made are made within
the pro width. You‘re either down
the middle unless something major
goes wrong. Then you miss.

“l think what this will do is make
kickers concentrate more. 1 know
that's what happened when they took
away the tees."

Tarasi is a senior who hopes to be
kicking at 18-6 targets in the NFL
next season. What will the change
mean for his successors at Penn
State?

“It" be interesting," he said.

 

 

Miller’s new attitude,
five three-pointers
lead Cats to victory

By BARRY REEVES
Sports Editor

Derrick Miller has changed.

His attitude has made a 180 degree turn
from a year ago. He's a different man. No
doubt.

After a sub-par first half performance,
UK coach Rick Pitino did not call Miller‘s
name to start the second
half.

In that past, Miller's
ego would have been
crushed. Although he
hit only 4 of 12 field
goals, he hit three 3-
pointers and scored 11
points in the first half.

Miller, UK‘s leading
scorer with an average , ,
of 19.1 points per
game, was not starting MILLER
a half for the first time this year. But Mill-
er, a 6-5 senior guard. was not surprised
when he did not get the call to start the sec-
ond half.

“l didn’tplay well at all in the tirst half,"
Miller said. “And Richie hat! '.1 goctl lll’\‘l
half, so I was not totally surprised when
my name was not called (to start the second
hall). Coach (Pitino) knew what he was do-
ing. I trust him.“

Derrick Miller hat changed.

Nobody had to tell Miller how bad he
played in the first half because he‘s his
own toughest critic. “l was just horrible in
the first half. I didn't have the look in my
eye. In fact, (John) Pelphrey was just about
the only one who did.“

And at halftime, Pitino, with Miller‘s
fragile ego in mind, used reverse psycholo-
gy to motivate Miller and the rest of the

squad for the second half. The only person
Pitino yelled at during halftime was Pel-
phrey.

“At halftime, 1 was getting on John for
everything he has ever done. Everything,"
Pitino said during his post-game news con-
ference. “He was the only person
screamed at halftime.

“When I started yelling at him, he sort 0
looked at me funny, then he realized what
was doing. And the other players figuret
out what 1 was doing."

“For the longest, 1 just sat there ant
scratched my head. I couldn’t figure ou
why he wasn’t getting on me because ht
always gets on me and everyone,” Mille
said. “But then I figured out why.”

Pitino said: “1 was afraid I would alienati
Derrick ifl really got on him."

Derrick Miller has changed.

about his bad reputation. He was focusing
all of his thoughts toward helping UK
when Pitino called his name.

And with 17:‘\8 remaining in the game,
Pitino called for his lone senior to lead his
squad to victory.

And Miller responded. When he entered
the game, the spirit of the Wildcats picked

to upset the Volunteers.

Cool Cats score early,
wallop Georgia in series

By GREGORY A. HALL
Stall Writer

The Georgia Bulldogs were coming from
behind in Saturday night's game before it
ever staned.

A Southern Collegiate Hockey Associa-
tion rule states that a team must dress two
goalies. The Bulldogs first-suing goalie
was suspended and did not dress. Conse-
quently. Georgia was assessed with a two-
minute bench minor before the game ever
started.

“I don't think it's right and 1 think that it
hurts.“ said Georgia coach Ron Hall.

UK swept the weekend series winning
13-2 on Friday and 10-2 Saturday.

The Cool Cats scored six first period
goals en route to Friday night‘s wrn. On
Saturday the Cool Cats started successful-
ly, but slowly.

“We usually start off slow in the second
game of a series." said assistant UK coach
Carl Montgomery. "Our second period is
our worst."

The Cool Cats opened a two-goal lead in
the first period and extended it to three in
the second period
