Campus police close Ploskonka case

criminal charges will be filed
against former UK Associate

Ploskonka’s attorneys said
that it was no surprise
because they knew there was
no case against their client all
along.

“We have completed the
investigation,” said W. H.
McComas, campus police
chief. “We came to the con-
clusion that we didn’t have
sufficient evidence for a guilty
(verdict).”

Ploskonka was facing one-five years in
prison and up to a $1,000 fine for failure to
make required disposition of entrusted
property, which is a class D felony under

Kentucky law. He could not be reached for

comment.

A routine UK audit released in January
revealed that Ploskonka had used more
than $8,500 in student fees to buy personal

items, including a
Super Nintendo, a
power saw and a
camping tent. A

pure ased with the
student funds was
found in his home.

the audit was released, McComas said.

The School of Library and

seems tailor-made for the combined
College of Communications and
Information Studies.

Following the national
trend of margin com-
munications an infor-

UK has combined the -
College of Library and
Information Science, the
Department of
Communications, and
the School of Journalism
and Telecommunications,
to form a new College of
Communications and Information

 

Studies.

Thus, when UK sought a new director
for the college, it was a given that the
appointee needed qualifications encom-
passing the broadened scope of the
unique college, said members of the
search committee.

Donald Owen Case, the new director
of the school, has impressive qualifica-
tions for the position, according to the
search committee. He earned a master’s
degree in information studies from
Syracuse University and received his
Ph.D in communication research from
Stanford University.

“Case’s background was very compati-
ble with the broader prospective that the
new college sought,” said Timothy

Tobacco research grants cut

Assaclatetl Press

The US House and Senate
have approved bills that prevent
the US. Agriculture Department
from spending anything on any
research related to the produc-
tion, processing or marketing of
tobacco products.

The bill, drafted by agriculture
appropriations subcommittee
chairman Rep. Richard]. Durbin,
D—Ill., almost for sure will stop
the work at the department’s
Crop Research Laboratory. A
program at the University of
Kentucky that studies burley
tobacco would also be affected.

Rep. Tim Valentine, D-N.C.,
whose district include Oxford,
said fussing about the gill on the
House floor would have been
ludicrous.

type of criminal intent,” he
said. However, “there was
some poor judgements
made.”

Ploskonka agree with the
University auditors to pay
$3,155.61 in restitution to
UK. Paul VanBooven, UK’s
legal counsel, reported his
office received that amount
in earlyJune.

Robert Hemenway,
Chancellor for the
Lexington Campus, said the
results of the investigation
and Ploskonka’s agreement
with the auditors satisfies
UK’s legal interests.

“The question of any pos-
sessions that Mr. Ploskonka
may have mishandled has
been settled by a payment,
so I’m not sure if any fur-
ther actions are necessary.

“It is an absolute folly, given
the present mood of Congress,"
he said. “Tobacco has few friends
in Congress. That’s a fact of life.
That’s just the way it is.”

Durbin defended the legisla-
tion, saying the government
would be hypocritical otherwise.

“I just feel there’s a basic
inconsistency in the federal gov-
ernment telling people that the
use of tobacco products is dan-
gerous while at the same time
subsidizing tobacco and its manu-
facture,” Durbin said last week.

Some researchers at the Oxford
facility say the bill is shortsighted.

“Consumption is not increased
by anything we do,” said Dennis
W. Keever, an entomologist who
tries to keep cigarette beetles
from chewing on stored tobacco.

search committee.

Sineath added that the faculty
is looking to Case to bring
gromh and development to the
expanding curriculum of the new
college and promote the school’s
role in interdisciplinary research.

“I want to help the school inte-
grate with other units within the
college," said Case.

For instance, “Journalism and
Telecommunications (students)
will see the wisdom of incorpo-
rating database research in their
curriculum,” he continued.

UK's School of Library and
Information Science has
Kentucky’s only accredited
degree program in that field and
is credited with training librari-
ans for most of the southeastern
region of the US, said Case.

“With the combined disci-
plines, UK is setting a trend for
the interdisciplinary training that
will be necessary for graduates in
the future,” said Sineath.

The researchers work with a
collection of 2,200 varieties of
tobacco seeds and seeds from
related plants. The seeds, smaller
than poppy seeds, are kept in vials
in a temperature-controlled closet

ties.

“Expectations for the school

rising expectations for UK in

Case said.

Staff and faculty are impressed
with Case’s enthusiasm, merits,
and listening skills, said members
of the search committee.

“Don is uniquely qualified to
lead the school into its next stage
of development,” said David
Dick, a professor of journalism.

As for Case’s adaptation to
Lexington and UK, the transi—
tion appears smooth.

“I have worked with members
of the UK faculty before, so it
seems like home,” Case said.

Moving away from California’s
declining interest in higher edu-
cation to Kentucky’s profound
interest in higher education was
welcome, Case said.

“Unlike California,” Case said,
“Kentucky has a sound economy.
And as UK‘s expectations get
higher, the programs (at UK) are
getting better and better.”

Scorsone fuming; Jones

names four to health board rPIZ

Matt Felice
SmflWr-itcr

Governor Brereton Jones has
yet to appoint the fifth member
to the new Health Policy Board.
However, if he takes state Rep.
Ernesto Scorsone’s, D-
Lexington, advice he will appoint
a consumer advocate.

Scorsone, whose district
includes UK’s campus, has criti-
cized Jones’ first four appoint-
ments, saying, “There don’t seem
to be any
appointments to
represent the
consumer.”

Scorsone noted
that the Public
S e r v i c e
C o m m i s s i o n ,
which regulates
utilities in
Kentucky, is
made up of only consumers and
consumer advocates, and no utili-
ty company representatives.

The Commission was the origi-
nal model used at the beginning
of the Health Policy Board selec-
tion process, Scorsone said, but it
was later decided that the board
could have two or three represen-
tatives from health are providers.

All four of Jones’ ap ointees
have been or are emp oyed in
health care services, a central
point to Soorsone’s criticism.

However, the nominees’ range
of experience goes beyond health

superb job, because they each
possess a unique and rare combi-
nation of the intellect to imple-
ment the Health Care Reform
Act and the compassion to see
that it's implemented with fair-
ness and vision,” said Jones.

However, that explanation
hasn’t satisfied Scorsone.

“I don’t have any problems
with the nominees individually,"
said Scorsone, “I’m concerned
about the com osition of the
board and the ba ance of it.”

“The governor built up these
appointments as the most impor-
tant of his tenure, but I don't
believe they live up to that stan-
darr .”

Jones earlier called Scorsone’s
remarks “silly,” claiming that the
criticism may have been driven by
the fact that Scorsone “wanted
me to get him a job in
Washington with the Clinton
administration. I wasn’t able to do
that."

Scorsone denied
the governor’s
a s s e s s m e n t .
. “\Vhen I had
approached the
governor, I asked
him to put in a
good word for
me, but that’s it.
That was two
years ago. My
comments were
motivated by the fact that I want
a good Health Policy Board."

When asked what kind of
appointments would make a good
Health Policy Board, Scorsone
suggested selecting someone
from consumer advocacy groups
like the Community Farm
Alliance, stressing that there are
many in the non-health care
provider business community
who purchase health care for
their em loyees and better know
the nee s of health care recipi-
ents.

Congenial Cats, Cards build
hype as “Dream Game” nears

Doc Purcell
Senior Staff lVrr'trr

\Vhen one thinks of bitter ath-
letic rivalries, UK—University of
Louisville usually comes to mind.

But last Friday in a joint news
conference held to unveil numer-
ous state—wide marketing ploys as
well as a trophy and logo for the
two schools’ first meeting on the
football field in 70 years, the
notorious adversaries looked
much more like friends than foes.

And according to representa-
tives of both schools, the Cats and
Cards will keep things congenial
until the Sept. 3 kick-offarrives.

“\Ve know the two football
teams will be very competitive on
the field,”Alyssa Middleton, UK’s
assistant director for marketing,
promotions, and licensing said.
“We just want to make this a
classy operation.”

The two universities’ are confi-
dent that the united stand they
are presenting on the marketing
front will be of great benefit both
financially and from a recruiting
standpoint, Middleton said.

And they have went to great
lengths to build excitement and
cohesion for the contest, drawing
numerous corporate sponsors
who will aid in promoting the

game for both sides.

Curry hopes to open Moe

and the pass to Win season

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. —
Though the shadow of the Trent
DiGiuro case was still looming,
Bill Curry finally had the chance
to talk some football yesterday.

Speaking at the Southeastern
Conference media days, Curry
tried to ignore speculation and
FBI investigations for a while,
instead focusing on quarterbacks
and the offensive scheme.

He noted that the rebuilding of
the \Vildcat football program still
IS an on-going process.

The next lo ical step Curry
maintains is to the consistent
in placing his program among
SEC contenders.

In 1994, he hopes that a steady
defense coupled with a more
diverse offense will begin that
process.

“We came close enough (to an
SEC championship) last year that
I really be ieve that our players
will be able to see now that'if they

...................

do the extra bit of
work that allows
to throw and
catch in addition
, to being able to
run the football
and keep improv-
ing defensively

 

we'll be right in
am" the hunt.”
spam cumin That wide—open

offense will be a

necessity for UK
this season as it will feature an
imposing ground game with an
inexperienced passing attack.

“1 think teams are gomg to try
to stop the run because Moe
(\Nilliams) had such success last
year,” said senior fullback Damon

Hood.

Although who will be throwing
the football is still up in the air.
Sophomore Jeff Speedy and
junior Antonio O’Ferral are“

one spot at quarterback. But the
UK coach said he won’t use a
quarterback-by-committee sys-
tem.

“In the spring we did not see a
quarterback step up and have the
kind of completion percentage
and show the kind of presence
that we feel is going to be
required to win in our league,”
Curry said.

Notes:

'Curry declined to comment
on the DiGiuro investigation, say-
ilpg he only was aware that the

I has been called in. Curry said
that “certain parameters” in the

case opened it to federal interest.

tinue to deal with the loss.

Greedy major league
players ruining game

I used to love playing little
league baseball.

I was a pitcher, and a pretty
good one,too. I enjoyed the thrill
of stepping up to the mound and
showing my best stuff. All the
kids did.

I especially remember the
efforts of my father, who’d prac-
tice with me for hours at a time so
that I could become better at the
game I loved. He volunteered
unselfishly as a coach and umpire
in order to make the game enjoy-
able to others as well.

It’s because of my father and
others like him that the game of
baseball means so much to so
many people. It’s thanks to their
caring efforts that baseball con—
tinues to conjure up some of our
most profound feelings of patrio-
tism, and helps to define what it is
to be an American.

Because of this, I look on the
possibility of a players’ strike in
major league baseball as repug-
nant

America’s national pastime is
being ruined. Ironically, the play-
ers, the people who should love
the game the most, are doing the
damage.

The greed of the players is well
documented. Since 1972, every
time the players and the owners
have tried to renew their collec-
tive bargaining agreement, there
has been a strike. If you are a
statistician, that’s 7 for 7; a perfect
record if you’re trying to improve

 

.‘ w your batting

average, but less

caps. Owners

claim that caps
Knuckles 0n . Players
SpomCo/umnirt salaries are

imperative to the
survival of many franchises.

The facts are on their side: 19
out on8 teams are losing $3 mil-
lion to $12 million a year.

The reason: skyrocketing con-
tracts are necessary to obtain the
players that make teams winners.
Success demands too high a price,
shutting out the smaller baseball
markets (like Seattle and
Milwaukee) from ever becoming
serious contenders.

The players’ union, led by
Executive Director Donald Fehr,
decries the caps as a threat to the
free-market principle. Currently,
the average player in the Major
League makes around $1 million
a season. The minimum salary for
a player is $109,000 a season.

It is not the average player that
Fehr is speaking for; the cap
would mean little to them.
Instead, Fehr is speaking on
behalfof the upper echelon of the
baseball world. These are the
poverty stricken players that only
make, say, $4 million or so for

one season’s work.

True to form, the shortsighted
players rejected the salary cap. In
a counter-proposal, they magnan-
imously offered to raise the mini-
mum salary to around $200,000
and allow salary arbitration every
two years instead of three.

Bonehead proposals like these,
combined with the whose-limo-
is-bigger attitude ofmany players,
make me wonder ifthe greed ever
ends.

Today ’5 players are more inter-
ested in who gets the money than
in the good name of the game. As
Allen Simpson states in Baseball
America , “Baseball belongs to
our society, not to the brazen few
who act irresponsibly and threat-
en to give our game another black
eye.”

Baseball does not need another
strike. \Valking off the field
would be a dangerous threat to
the game's popularity among the
American people. If it is to take
place, and it looks inevitable, it
will only prove that even the old-
est and most revered of our
nation’s institutions isn’t safe
from our own moral decline.

Is it too much to ask that the
pla ers stop being so bullheaded
and’ deal on a level other than the
ridiculous to avoid another strike?

If not for their own benefit,
then for the millions of children
who play the game today, and the
fathers who dedicate so much
time to teach them.

FACTS.

Today abortion is a safe, simple procedure.

At EMW Women’s Clinic we know that one of your primary
concerns with having an abortion is safety.

That’s-why we wanted you to know that a first trimester
abortion is one of the safest surgical procedures performed in
America today. As safe as a penicillin shot. Safer than a
tonsillectomy. And four times safer than childbirth.

And because the decision to have an abortion is never an
easy one, EMW has specially trained staff to discuss
alternatives and offer support and reassurance without

ressure. Abortion and other women’s services are performed
by physicians in EMW’s safe and private clinic.

The Student Government
Association is attempting to edu-
cate students about the legal
aspects of landlord/tenant rela-
donships.

SGA has been conducting
Brown Bag Forums every
Wednesday at noon in the
Student Center to help students
obtain free legal advice.

“The forums were set up
because students’ money pays for
legal services all year,” said Amy
Abernathy, SGA executive direc-
tor for student services. “This is
the first time the service has been
extended into the summer.

“The forums are intended to
allow for discussion on legal
issues that are of interest to stu-
dents. This summer the forums
have centered arouhd
landlord/tenant rights.”

The Brown Bag forums started
summer and are expected to con-
tinue into the fall semester.

Cindy Weaver was appointed
to chair the forums. While all of
the summer forums have
addressed landlord/tenant rights,
future fall forums are hoped to
be expanded to cover other top-
ics.

Attorney Cindy Weaver advises a UK student how to resolve a conflict
with a landlord during a Brown Bag Forum.

The main purpose of the
forums, Abernathy said, is to
show students how to address
legal problems that they might
encounter.

Although this summer's atten-
dance has been disappointing for
oranizers.“There has been a low
turnout because it is summer
time, there has not been much
publicity about the forums, and
there has only been one topic dis-
cussed,” Abernathy said. “I am
confident the attendance will be
higher in the fall.”

Weaver noted, however, that
her office hours have been filled
throughout the summer.

“While there has usually been
around six people at the forums, I
have seen on average fifteen peo-
ple a week during my office
hours. By far this has been one of
the most used and popular ser-
vices offered by student govern-
ment.”

The student legal service at UK
can not undertake representation

for students, but it can give direc—
tion and help students evaluate
possible solutions. If necessary,
students are referred to legal
counsel or are encouraged to pur-
sue claims in small claims court.

“I have received a lot of positive
feedback, such as thank you notes,
from this service. I feel good
knowing that I am helping to pro-
vide a real service to people who
normally could not afford legal
advice.”

Weaver and Abernathy hope to
conduct another Brown Bag
Forum during orientation week-
end to assist in helping students
who are moving into new apart-
ments deal with problems before
they arise.

“We feel that orientation
would be a good time to conduct
these forums since many people
are entering into leases at this
time,” Weaver said.

“There are a lot of things stu-
dents should know to protect
their rights.”
