3 Cats placed on suspensron

 

By Brian Bennett
Senior Staff Writer

The fallout from Free Throw-
Gate is severe. UK coach Rick Piti-
no announced yesterday that Travis
Ford, Gimel Martinez and Jared
Prickett will each serve one-game
suspensions and miss tonight‘s
game at Tennessee.

Twice during the second half of
Saturday‘s game against Vander-
bilt, Cats‘ players sent the wrong
free-throw shooter to the line inten-
tionally. The first happened when
Ford told Walter McCarty to shoot
instead of Andre Riddick. The sec-
ond occurred when Martinez

game against Tennessee tonight

stepped in for Prickett.

Pitino claims he and his coaching
staff had no knowledge of the inci-
dent during the game. He first heard
about it as several players
joked about the matter with
TV reporters in the locker
room following the game.

The fifth-year head coach
held a team meeting Mon-
day night to find out who
was in on the charity-stripe
caper, and he held another at
7:15 am yesterday to deliv-
er the suspensions.

 

said at a press conference yester-
day. “We‘ve built this program the
last five years on what we believe is
solid integrity. We believe in win-
ning and losing the correct way.

“I'd much rather face Tennessee
knowing I did the right thing than
just going down there thinking
about winning and losing."

Pitino also contacted Van-
derbilt coach Jan van Breda
Kolff to apologize. Both
agreed that the foul-line
frauds did not determine the
outcome of UK's 77-69 vic-
tory.

McCarty and Riddick
were not suspended because
neither knew whom was
fouled on the play, Pitino

“It was a grave mistake I'Mflm said.

TV afterwards," a solemn Pitino

UK celebrated its 129th birth-

reception sponsored by the Stu-
dent Activities Board.

Joseph Burch, vice president
for University relations. wel-
comed students, alumni, faculty
and staff to the Founder's Day
celebration outside the Student
Center Grand Ballroom.

“It is appropriate to come to-
gether every year and to think
about the students that have
passed through UK," Burch said.

Burch said that while past cele-
brations have been more extrava-
gant, yesterday's celebration is
no less important

 

NOV LAWREJCE/Kemel Staff

The party “stands for what UK
offers the state and its people,"
Burch said.

Some students found the tum-
out to be rather small but said
such an event is significant.

“It is important to have a sense
of history about the institution,“
Jerry Moody said, a political sci-
ence and communications senior.

SLAB President Wes Butler
talked about the celebration as a
matter of respect for UK.

“However, the number one rea-
son to have a party is to have a
good time," Butler said.

A party such as this serves as a
sign of prosperity. Butler said.

“UK has been here for 129
years and in all probability it will
be here for another 129 years."

 

 

Women in politics

 

Associated Press

FRANKFORT, Ky. - Legisla-
tive races have drawn increased
numbers of women candidates, but
they still must struggle with the
gender gap, according to a Univer-
sity of Kentucky expert.

“Women are forced to prove their
competence, electability and tough—
ness, whereas men are assumed to
have these qualities,"said UK politi-
cal scientist Penny Miller.

Kentucky is next-to-last among

 

. «a. A-

the states in the percentage of wom-
en serving this year, and two of its
eight female lawmakers are among
those who are retiring at year's end.

Women candidates on the legisla-
tive ballots this year account for
about 13 percent of all candidates
seeking House and Senate seats.

So, no matter what, the numbers
of women in the General Assembly
won‘t grow dramatically for at least
two more years.

Miller said the state's traditional
political culture is the fundamental

“Travis pointed for
(McCarty) to go to the line," the
coach said. “He did not know he

was the non-shooter."
The team didn't gain much of an

advantage, as McCarty and Riddick

were both under 50 percent at the
line entering the game. The Prick-
ett-Mam'nez situation differed.

“Prickett and Martinez did know
what they were doing," Pitino said.
“Gimel said ‘Do you want me to
shoot it for you?’ and Jared said,
‘Go ahead.‘ "

Prickett, a 55 percent foul shoot-
er, missed all four of his attempts,
including an airball. Martinez. an
80.5 percent shooter, made 1 of 2 in
Prickett‘s place.

Free-throw controversies are be-
coming commonplace when UK
travels to Knoxville. Last year, UT
knocked off the Cats 78-77 after A1-
lan Houston's intentional foul-line
miss was rebounded and put in.

Warrington, Braun
announce platform

 

By Jackie Flegle
Staff Writer

 

Student Government Association

presidential running mates Rob
Warrington and Joe Braun revealed
the ideas and issues that are the
backbone of their campaign last
night.
The parmers began speaking at in a
gathering room in the Delta Gamma
social sorority house, before a
group of about 30 listeners.

Presidential candi-
date Warrington first
talked about account- _
ability and how the 7
green boxes the two ,
carry with them repre-
sent this concept.

Warrington and
Braun are asking stu-
dents to place sugges-
tions in those boxes,
so that, if elected,
they will be better pre-
pared to address is-
sues that are irnponant to the stu-
dent body.

He also said that when students
walk into the SGA office under his
administration, they can expect to
be greeted by a “what can I do for
you?“

 

Braun, the vice presidential run-
ning mate. outlined the ticket’s
agenda for the campus, promising
to work on getting cable in every
residence hall room on campus by
incorporating the cost into student
fees.

He pointed out that every room
currently is wired for cable, but that
students must make monthly pay-
ments to receive it.

He said that by negotiating a con-
tract with Telecable, the service
could be received for
1/10 of the current
cost.

Braun said this
would not necessarily
require an increase in
fees, but instead reap-
propriation of fee
money.

Another idea War-
rington and Braun dis-

WARRINGTON cussed was bicycles

on campus. Braun said

several students had
suggested installing shelters over
the bike racks.

Their third idea, also in the devel-
oping stage. suggests having a
“noise room,“ a designated room in

Staffers upset
over parking
meet officials

 

 

By Lance Williams
News Editor

University officials met with
several engineering staff mem-
bers who threatened to withdraw
their donations to the new library
fund as a form of protest over
raises in parking fees.

The officials hoped to tell the
members of the staff about the
reasons for the increase in park-
ing fees and what plans call for
concerning parking in the future
at UK.

Although the engineering staff
council decided to drop the mo-
tion to have the entire staff with-
hold donations from the fund, the
members still were not convinced
by the discussion led by Joe
Burch, vice president for Univer-
sity Relations, and Don Thorton,
director of Transportation and
Parking Services.

The group decided to let each
individual make the decision of
whether to

 

make their view known," but
asked the staff to refrain from us-
ing UK letterhead or supplies to
make their complaints.

Staff members at the nearly 2
1/2 hour meeting expressed con-
cern over travel time from the
stadium to campus and new
ways that prices
could be deter-
mined for park-
ing passes.

Staff members
told Burch that
the current tran-
sit system for
UK is poor and
that it often
takes more than
30 minutes to
get from one
end of the campus to the other.

“I don‘t care to walk five min-
utes to my car, but 1 can’t wait
for 30 minutes for a bus and I
can’t walk 30 minutes for my

this month to

prices of parking tags would be

The members of the staff will
write a letter to UK President
Charles Wethington and hope to
have a crowd of about 50 staff
from the college attend a brown
bag lunch with the Lexington
Staff Council on Thursday from
11 am. to 1 pm. in 231 Student

but Burch wouldn‘t say how fast
UK's system would be. He urged
the staff to give the buses a try in

Speaker challenges evolutionism

 

By John Abbott
Staff Writer

Is creationism such an off-the-wall idea?

That is what Kurt Wise, director of origins re-
search at Bryan College in Dayton, Tenn, tried
to address last night in two lectures in at the Stu-
dent Center.

In the first lecture, titled “The Fossil Record:
The Ultimate Test Case," he outlined 10 charac-
teristics of the fossil record that he said contra-
dicted conventional evolutionist thinking and
showed how they supported the Biblical account
of the creation of the Earth.

in the second lecture, “Mt. St. Helens: What
did we leam?," Wise talked about how accepted
geological drinking maintains that features
around the Washington mountain took hundreds
of thousands or millions of years to form.

Wise countered that these geological features
actually could have been formed very quickly —
which would support the possibility that the
Earth is very young, and thus, the suppositions

still face obstacles

of creationist theory.

“What I‘m interested in is interpreting the fos-
sil record from a new point of view," he said.

One of his points concerned the percentage of
species living at any specific moment in time
that are fossilized. In the Old-Age Conventional
Model, a 5 percent fossilization rate is a very
high estimate. In the Young-Age Creation Mod-
el, conversely, the percentage of species that are
fossilized would be expected to be between 30
and 80 percent

Wise then cited studies done on various ani-
mals that showed the rates of fossilization were
consistent with the Young-Age Creation Model.
and none were as low as the Old-Age Conven-
tional Model would predict.

Under the evolutionary model, he said, spe-
cies should appear in the fossil record in order
from primitive to complex. Under the creation
model, the order of first appearance in the fossil
record would be completely random as far as ev-
olutionary complexity, since all animals, both
primitive and complex, stepped off the Ark at
the same time and began reproducing.

His statistical analysis of the fossil record
showed that it was 95 percent random with re-
spect to evolution. Only plants and vertebrates.
he said, really fit the evolutionist predictions.

“No one puts the arthropods as the most prirn-
itive invertebrates. yet they appear first in the
fossil record,“ he said.

Another problem with evolution, he said, is
the fact that placing organisms in an evolution-
ary order is extremely difficult to do with cer-
tainty.

“It turns out that you can put anything in an
evolutionary order.“ he said, “but you can‘t pre-
dict what order it should be. It might go from A
toZothvorK toQ.

“1 think that crazy flood model stands up rea-
sonably well."

Sociology senior Roy Stephens said he found
the lecture enlightening.

“Evolution has reached the point of being so
canonized that few people consider any altema-
tive, to the extent that some very rational and in-

female legislators have come from
affluent backgrounds.

Statewide groups like the com-

That was the lead sentence to the story I
started to write before UK's stupefying
comeback win last week at LSU.

“UK’s XX-XX loss at Louisiana State
marks the Wildcats first three—game losing
streak in four years. LSU zoomed out to a
48-32 halftime lead blah blah blah yadda
yadda yadda."

With the score an ignominious 68-37
and the game nearly two-thirds gone, a
third straight defeat seemed imminent.

University home, l felt my hackles rising. l

petent and stinky. Call it sportswriter's
bloodlust: a sometimes overpowering urge
to kick a team when it‘s down.

Safe from my perch behind the terminal,
I was going to hammer these poor boys.
For their having the audacity to lose (or
even appear to lose) three consecutive bas-
ketball games, I was prepared to call into
question their ability, intelligence. motiva-
tion, integrity and most of all: their worthi-
ness to don the holy blue and white when
marching into basketball battle.

Sponswriters are like hit-and-run drivers

with vanity plates. They'll run somebody
down, leave them broken, cut, embar~
rassed and unable to fight back. Speeding
away untouched, the sponswriter wants
everyone to know who did it, but it’s his
street and nobody can touch him.

So I began revving up for my attack.
Stocking up on caustic clauses and acidic
adverbs, I was completely ignoring the
game. (This is acceptable in spons jour~
nalism because night games often end after
the time at which the story is supposed to
be proofread, spell-checked and on the
page.

What this means is that sportswriters
compose a game story while the game is
still in progress. This can create obvious
problems.)

At this point I noticed something weird

was happening. LSU‘s 31-point lead had
become a 15-point lead. Hmm. Suddenly
it's a 12-point lead, before long it's down
to single digits.

Did Chris Harrison just hit two three-
pointers? What is this?

They can’t win this game, what are they
trying to do?

Oh, me of little faith. Win it they did.
Walter McCany's left-side three-pointer
with 19 seconds left gave UK it‘s first lead
since 1-0 and free throws from Tony Delk
and Travis Ford clinched it 99-95.

At this point, the fingers of every spons-
writer in the Pete Maravich Assembly
Center were fast-breaking across key-
boards, rewriting leads, inserting statistics,
trying to find different words for “shot."
Eventually all the stories were written.

 

Many, like mine, completely reworked
from their original form.

Unfortunately my story never made it to
print. Operating the computer-modem sys-
tem we use to transmit stories from fara-
way requires certification from Starfleet.
Consequently, by the time I was ready to
send, an Associated Press story had been
used and the paper was on its way to press.

While my account of the greatest come—
back in UK basketball history will never
see print, I can tell you that, like the team,
it went through a massive change over the
course of the game.

And, it must be said, a change for the
better.

The Lady Kats head to Murray
State tonight, hoping desperately
not to have their
bubble burst.

UK (14-10), on
the outside looking
in for an NCAA
Tournament berth
(unless, of course,
they win the South-
eastern Conference
Tournament), can
ill afford a loss in
their last two regu- II mam
lar season games,
particularly to the lowly Lady Rac-
ers (6-17).

The Lady Racers probably would
just as soon play UK at Memorial
Coliseum. Murray is 6-7 on the
road, but 0-9 at home.

The Lady Kats are coming off ar-
guably their best performance of
the season, a 95-89 overtime loss to
No. 1 Tennessee at Memorial Coli-
seum on Sunday.

The loss to the Lady Volunteers
is the kind of game UK head coach

Sharon Fanning would like to see
her team build on.

Fanning said the Murray State
game, along with UK’s game
against LSU at home on Saturday,
will be extremely imponant in the
eyes of the NCAA's selection com-
mittee.

“Every team has to play well in
February," Fanning said after the
UT game.

“To my knowledge, we haven't
lost outside of the Top 25.

“Of course, we have to play well
in our last two games, but that's
something that’s expected of every
team coming down the stretch."

Murray State has not been play-
ing well coming down the stretch.

The Lady Racers have lost 13 of
their past 14 games, and just last
week snapped an ll-game losing
streak with a 79-76 win over Mid-
dle Tennessee. Murray is coming
off an 83-65 loss to Southeast Mis-
souri.

Jennifer Parker, a 5—foot-6 guard.
leads Murray State in scoring with
21.4 points per game.

Her backcourt mate, Melissa
Shelton, is MSU’s only other dou-

ble figure scorer, averaging 13.7
pointsanouting.

Junior guard Stacey Reed leads
UK in scoring.

Reed, who scored 24 points
against Tennessee, averages 17.8
points per game. Senior forward Te-
dra Eberhart is second on the Lady
Kats, averaging 16.1 points per
game after a 27-point outing against
UT.

The Lady Kats lead the all-time
series with Murray State 13-2, in-
cluding an 89-55 win in Lexington
last season.

Reed said after the Tennessee
game that UK would have to focus
on winning its 14th over Murray as
well as knocking off LSU to im-
prove its standing in the eyes of the
NCAA Toumament’s selection
committee.

“These last two games, the Mur-
ray Statc game and the LSU game,
they're going to be imponant,"
Reed said.

“I don’t know what (the selection
committee is) looking for, but if
they want a good ball club, I think
they’ll take us."

Wildcats land
wide receiver

Statt report

 

 

After signing numerous big
linemen, a strong-armed quarter-
back and a placekicker, UK
football coach Bill Curry put the
cap on his recruiting season.
Curry signed Trevor Hypolite, a
wide receiver from Rockledge,
Fla.

Hypolite, who lettered three
years and started two for Rock-
ledge High coach Chuck Wood,
helped lead his team to a three-
year record of 27-5.

“Signing Trevor marks the fi-
nal piece in our recruiting puzzle
this year in terms of meeting our
needs by position,” said UK as-
sistant head coach and recruiting
coordinator Tommy Limbaugh.

“The one gap that we had not
filled was signing a top~notch re-
ceiver. Trevor fills that need.
He’s a big receiver with good
hands and good speed."

UK's 1994 recruiting class
was ranked 13th nationally last
week by Max Emfinger’s Na-
tional BlueChips Recruiting Ser-
vice. Hypolite, who signed after
Emfinger's ranking was re-
leased, is UK's 10th Florida
signee this season.

Replays showed Houston com-
mitted a violation by crossing the
line too soon.

The suspensions suddenly make
tonight's game more competitive.
The Vols are just 5-17 on the year
and 2-10 in the Southeastern Con-
ference but will be facing a UK
squad with just eight available
players and no frontcourt subs.

Ford leads the Cats in assists and
emotion; Prickett leads the team in
rebounding; and Martinez is an im-
ponant cog in the motion scheme.

The Cats may find it tough to-
night to stop the tall Vols. Kevin
Whitted had 19 points and 7-footer
Steve Harner netted 18 points and
12 boards during UK's 93-74 victo-
ry in January. That came against a
fuller set. of Big Blue big men.

Add to that problem the futility
UK has had at Tennessee. Knox-
ville has been Knocksville for the
Cats, who have lost 17 of the past
21 on the UT campus.

“We know our chances of win-
ning are slim," Pitino said. “I would

inli‘mluting. ..

say we probably can‘t press at all.
We can win this game, but we’re
going to have to play perfect bas—
ketball."

Rodrick Rhodes, a slim 6-foot-7
forward, will have to be the backup
power forward, Pitino said.

Reserve junior guard Chris Harri-
son is expected to make his first ca~
reer start in place of Ford, and
freshman point guard Anthony
Epps also must contribute.

“We'll have to play smarter,"
Epps said of tonight’s challenge.
“We can't commit all the silly
fouls. We just have to execute."

“Although it's a big loss, we can
overcome it," Harrison said.

The three culprits weren't availa-
ble for comment yesterday, but
teammates provided a clue as to
how they reacted.

“I think they handled it well,"
guard Tony Delk said. “They felt
like they did something wrong and
they have to pay for it."

“Travis is a great competitor,"
Harrison said. “At the time I don’t
think he thought it was wrong until
he sat back and looked at it."

Though Pitino was highly upset
at his players‘ antics, he doesn't
plan on holding a grudge.

young men who work very, very
hard," he said. “They just made a
mistake. They’re young, and we all
make mistakes in the spur of the
moment."

At 20-5 and 9-3 in the SEC, the
No. 7 Cats are fighting for a No. 1
seed in the NCAA Tournament and
the SEC East crown. With just four
games left to play, Rhodes appealed
to Pitino, asking if there was any
other option to suspending three of
the team's most pivotal players.

“I told him you also have the op-
tion to win the game,” Pitino said.

Staff Writer

 

If there were ever any doubt about that adage “Good
things come in small packages,” UK freshman gym-
