1989 Kentucky Kernel

UK will (lepart from tradition for only
the second time in more thaii 50 years
by not recommending Kentucky (lov.
Wallace Wilkinson for an honorary de~
gree.

Four inl'ormed sources have told the
Kentucky Kernel that Wilkinson was not
among the list ol candidates submitted
to the UK Board ot 'l‘rustees l'or appro-
val by the presidentially appointed honr
orai‘y degrees committee.

Aside from (tov. Louie B. Nunn. who
was elected in 1967. but did not receive
an honorary degree until 1970. Wilkin.
son will be the only governor who has
not received the honor within two years
ot being elected.

Some University ot'licials interviewed
yesterday said they acknowledged the
trend. but they said it did not mean the
governor would not receive an honorary
degree trom UK before the end ot his
tour-year term

“We‘ve always done it. so we're ex
pected to do it." said one high ranking
l'K administrator “Maybe we ought to
wait until the end ol the term beloi‘e
honoring the governor with an honorary
degree.

"'l‘hose traditions exist tor a long
tiiiie and they get changed. and we hope
that people‘s t'eelings don't get hurt or
insulted iii the process." the source
said.

t'iiiversity olticials have expressed
privately that reporting that Wilkinson
was not recommended tor an honorary
degree could lead to a cooling oi l‘t‘la
tioiis between the goiernor and [K
President David Roselle

Some ottieials had perceived the
relationship as improving. pointing to a
recent lunch between the governor and
the president at Maxwell l’lace tollow
mg the announcement oi a $1 million
gilt t'rom 'l‘oyota [CS .\. hie to the [K
library system

“The relationship between the giwei'
iior and the president is not as bad as
people make it out to be.” said lid t‘ar

 

ter. vice president for administration.
"In many ways. they have the same ob~
jectives in mind the problem is. one
is governor. the other is a president."

Wilkinson's press secrealary. Doug
Alexander. could not be reached t'or
comment last night.

Roselle also could not be reached for
comment

A review ot trustees' minutes and
graduation programs dating back to the
early part ot this century shows that
since 1907. only tour Kentucky goven
nors have not been given an honorary
degrees All tour governors held ot'lice
beloi'e 19113.

With AB "Happy” (‘handler‘s elec—
tion to the governor‘s mansion in 193:3. a
trend started and lasted until Nunn was
elected

Since Nunn received his honorary
Doctorate ot Laws m 1970. every Keri-
tiicky governor has received an honor
ary degree troni t‘K within two years
alter being elected

Yesterday‘s \ote by the University
Senate is the next to last step tor liiial

iioii at itsJaiiuary meeting

The Board ot 'l‘rustees. which has
iiiial say on all honorary degree nomir
iiees. will consider the candidates at its
next tull meeting. which will be held in
March

l’caring that word might leak about
whom the honorary degree candidates
are. the lJlHt‘l'Sll) Senate closed its
meeting to the public yesterday

"Japanese cars. cameras and other apr

Four Kentucky state legislators- told a
group of students yesterday that Governor
Wallace Wilkinson is not doing enough t'or
higher education.

John "lick” Rose. state senate pro temp.
said that Wilkinson is catering to ”the peo»
ple who were against education yesterday.
who are against it today. and who will be
against it tommorrow."

State Representative Ernesto Scorsone
criticized Wilkinson's $150 million plan to

ot land in Tokyo. he said

“There are Japanese companies in
tieorgia but (’oea ('ola wit .\tlantai is get-
ting onerlliit‘d ot its protits trom Japan."
he said

Yoting also said other companies such as
lumber companies. tobacco companies and
tood companies are receiving large
amounts ot profits from Japan because
they do not produce the everyday leisure
items that the t'nited States does

Young said the Japanese market will
eventually drain. just as the European
market ot the t'nited States“ tirst and sec-

Reagan involved in aiding
contra nations, Sullivan says

By HARRY I“. ROSENTIIAI.
.-\ssociated Press

WASHINGTON Former Presi
dent Reagan "participated person
ally and directly " in giving favored
treatment to countries that sup
ported the coiitras in Nicaragua.
lawyers for Oliver North say iii a
court filing aimed at having
charges against their client
dropped

North attorney Brendan Sullivan.
opposing a compromise between
the indeix‘ndent counsel and the
.Iiis‘tiee Department. said in court
papers released yesterday that that
proposed deal on keeping certain
secrets oitt of the trial would pre
vent him from introducing this evi
iieiice which he said was central to
\orth‘s defense

He also criticized Attorney lien
et'al Dick Thoriiburgh tor declining
"to take the political heat” and
make a separate st‘t't't‘lsrt)t‘ttlt‘clIIIL‘.
move that could lead to charges
being thrown out

Sullivan said: "At the heart or
this case are the quid pro quo and
other thirdcountry arrangements
with which the Reagan administra
tion obtained military support for
the reststance during the socalled
Roland Amendments. and the poli
cy that those third~eountry .ii
rangements would not be disclosed
outside a limited group ot exec
ain't-branchofficials '

The Roland amendments. passed

by Congress. restricted and at
times prohibited the spending of
federal funds in support of the
guerrilla war against the leftist
government in Nicaragua.

Former National Security Advis»
er John Poindexter testified at the
congressional Irancontra hearings
in 1987 that Reagan favored mak-
ing up for that lack of official US.
support with money from other na-
tions But the assertion that Rea-
gan was personally involved in ar-
ranging to return the favors is new

Sullivan‘s statements were in a
written response to US. District
Judge (ierhard A (iesell, objecting
to a new plan for protecting nation-
al security secrets at North's trial.

The plan. worked out by indepen-
dent counsel Lawrence Walsh and
the Justice Department. “would
gut the defense and guarantee a
‘cuekoo-clrwk‘ trial.“ Sullivan said.
It would hide “critical information
about the Reagan administration‘s
lllll'tlrt‘tllllllt'} arrangements for
military support of the resistance
and the official nondisclosure of
those arrangements "

Sullivan said that the way the
govet‘nttiettl proposed to present
this information to the jury
through a general “admission"
with no details allowed -. would
leave out “that President Reagan
and top executive branch officials
participated personally and direct—
Iy in thosearrangements "

He said under the government

proposal. the jury would never
hear about “direct personal partic-
ipation in the third-country ar-
rangements" by Reagan and these
officials of his administration: Na-
tional Security Adviser Robert Mc-
Farlane. Poindexter's predecessor;
Secretary of State George Shultz;
Secretary of Defense Caspar Wein-
berger; Chairman of the Joint
Chiefs John Vessey. and the late
(‘IA Director William Casey.

Most of the details of the pro-
posed court agreement were kept
secret. but their intent was to es-
tablish nine specific categories of
information that cannot be re-
vealed by North in his defense.

Sullivan urged that Gesell reject
the proposed rules out of hand.

The proposed agreement between
'l‘hornburgh and Walsh is a com-
promise to deal with Justice De-
partment objections that rules
under which the trial was to be
conducted would allow North to
disclose important national securi-
ty information.

Gesell is to conduct a hearing on
the agreement today.

The beginning of the trial was
put on hold Sunday when Chief Jus~
tice William Rehnquist of the Su—
preme Court granted the Justice
Department's request for a stay.
However. the department has said
it will ask Rehnquist to lift the stay
if (Iesell approves the agreement
on testimony involving classified
information.

CHICAGO — Sixty years ago
today. machinegun fire echoed
from a garage in 3 Near North
Side neighborhood and seven
members of George “Bugs"
Moran’s gang fell dead in the St.
Valentine’s Day Massacre.

It was the Prohibition era‘s
goriest crime and the beginning
of the end of gangster rule.

Now Prohibition is dead and
the garage is gone but the mem-
ories live on for some Chicago
residents. who vividly recall
when "gangland graduated
from murder to massacre," as
news accounts of the day put it.

A senior citizen's home bor-
ders the site. and residents of
the Lincoln Park Senior Center
say their parking lot is on the
very spot where the seven fell.
Some residents believe their
ghosts still walk.

“I‘d be sitting on my reclining
chair and hear things moving
around knives and forks
clanging together I’d hear
someone go out the door." said

 

60 years later, Chicagoans recall
events of St. Valentine’s massacre

Madeline Bushbaum. 84. who
lived in the neighborhood at the
time.

“We always figured it was the
dead ones looking for the ones
that killed ’em." said Bush-
baum. who has moved out of the
room closest to the murder site.
“I don’t hear ’em anymore. but
several people moved out of the
building because they said they
were disturbed. "

At the time of the massacre.
“Scarface" Al Capone. leader of
Near South Side bootlegging op-
erations, wanted Moran's terri-
tory up north.

On the morning of Feb. 14.
1929. a day when the tempera-
ture was 10 below zero. four
men ——- two wearing police uni—
forms — raided Moran‘s garage
headquarters.

They lined the men up against
the wall as if for a routine frisk
for weapons. and instead deliv-
ered a Valentine’s Day hail of
gunfire that riddled the victims.
almost severing limbs.

Bushbaum. then a 24-yearold
evening telephone operator. was
playing pool with the guys in the

back room of Drake Braithwaite
undertakers. about three blocks
from the scene. She said she
often helped out. answering the
telephone when the employees
went out “to pick up a stiff‘

“While we were playing. the
garage door flew open and there
were the coppers and the paddy
wagon.“ she recalled.

“They brought in two bodies
on two slabs and just slid ’em
off on the floor and said, ‘We
gotta go back. we got five more
dead out there! ‘

”I saw the guy with half his
brains shot out. and I tell you. I
didn't feel so good." Bushbaum
said.

Six of the victims died instant—

in his hospital bed. upheld the
gangland code when police
asked who’d done the shooting.

“Nobody." Gusenberg said.
“It‘s getting dark. sarge. So

Moran. who was not at his
headquarters that day. later
told police: “Only the Capone
gang kills like that."

Kocan is
leader of
Cool Cats

By BOB NORMAN
Staff Writer

High up on one of the towering
walls that surround the hockey rink
at the Lexington lce Center. there
is a small scar — a tiny. puck-
shaped hole.

The hole is. in fact. the direct
result of a high-flying. outofcon~
trol hockey puck. It was not. how-
ever, shot out of a cannon, or
thrown by a snappy major league
pitcher. It was driven airborne
with a standard hockey stick by
Kentucky Cool Cat star Keith
Kocan.

The same Keith Kocan is helping
his team in its attempt to bring
home a Southern Collegiate Hockey
Association championship.

“We were just playing around.
and I hit the puck pretty good."
said Kocan, a computer science se—
nior. “It hit the crossbar and de-
flected up there. "

In Kentucky. the only shot people
generally like to see comes in the
form of a precision jumper or a
slam dunk. In short. most
Kentuckians are aesthetically
adapted to the rotation of a basket—
ball - not a smooth sliding hockey
puck.

But Kocan grew up in a different.
much colder environment. The
north-born hockey player has
played with skates rather than
hightop sneakers all his life. His
sports heroes were not Kyle Macy

and Sam Bowie. but Wayne
Gretsky and Bobby Orre.
“Being from Buffalo lNew

York), all the publicity and talk
was around hockey." the 21-year
old said. "During my childhood.

the hockey players were my
heroes. "
Although Kocan hasn‘t quite

made “hero“ status here at UK. he
has made a significant impact on
the Cool Cats. He is their leading
scorer and the team's leader on the
Ice.

His success is the fruition of a lot
of hard work and conditioning.

 

Keith Kocan skates around at the Lexington Ice Center during a
recent UK Cool Cats' game. Kocan is considered the team leader.

along with natural athletic talent. -

Kocan began playing at the age of
eight. and hasn't hung up his
skates since.

Living only a few miles south of
the Canadian border. Kocan had
the opportunity to play a lot in Can-
ada. where hockey is as popular as
baseball is in the United States. He
also traveled to Michigan. Pennsyl-
vania and Massachusetts in the 30-
game season.

“In Buffalo. we had house
leagues with about ten teams in
each league." Kocan said. “From
those teams they picked the best
players to play for the town teams.
I played and traveled with the town
team.“

He played in the amateur hockey
leagues until he moved to northern
Kentucky With his family at the
age of 17.

Since his arrival. Kocan has had
his hand in many of the Cool Cats
wins. and he hopes to help bring
many more home. Before he leaves
after next season. he wants the one
thing that every athlete strives for
a championship.
