Shipman’s plea for shock probation denied

By JIM WHITE
Managing Editor

Bradley J. Shipman. the former UK stu-
dent sentenced to five years in prison for
second-degree manslaughter, second-de-
gree assault and drunken driving. was den~
ied shock probation yesterday by a
Fayette circuit judge.

Judge James E. Keller overruled a mo-
tion filed last week by attorneys that the

20yearold Shipman be released after
serving an abbreviated prison term. He
will be eligible for parole in one year.

"We were all naturally disappointed.”
said Scotty Sears, vice president of Pi
Kappa Alpha. Shipman‘s fraternity. "i
think Brad would have a more potent mes«
sage if he was not in prison."

Shock probation is for young offenders
who commit serious. yet unintentional
crimes. said Kevin Horne, Shipman‘s at—

torney. It requires an individual to spend a
short time in prison before being put on
one-to-f'ive-year probation.

Members of Pi Kappa Alpha and Ship-
man's attorneys. Horne and Larry Bob.
erts. argued that Shipman should be put on
shock probation so he could speak to col-
lege and high school students about his ex-
perience. saying that his case needs to be
kept fresh in the public's eye to deter
drunken driving.

In January. the fraternity circulated a
petition on and around campus in support
of shock probation Also. the fraternity is
making a video about Shipman's acCident
to be distributed through Pi Kappa Alpha
chapters nationwide

“We think that the nlm will do a good
job." Sears said “But the message would
be stronger if Brad was there to speak in
person.

Teaching more important than money to vice chancellor

By (‘HER Yl. WALDRIP
Staff Writer

When Donald Sands, L’K Vice Chancellor
of Academic Affairs. left his position as a
senior chemist at a California lab to come
to UK in 1962. he underwent a 30 percent
cut in pay but it was money he has never
regretted losing,

“1 really did want to be a teacher and l
envied my colleagues. the ones I'd known
from graduate school or professional meet-
ings. who were in universities.” Sands
said.

When a friend told him ['K was looking
for someone interested in crystal research.
heapplied.

"I flew out here from California on a day
in January »7 it was below zero degrees. l
came from California into that." be said.
“I never regretted it. l never regretted it a
bit."

Sands. 59, has come a long way since
that cold day in January. He's gone from
assistant chemistry professor in 1962 to
vice chancellor of academic affairs and
has won the admiration of those around
him.

"I couldn't think of anybody better to
work for. I really couldn‘t.” said Sands‘
assistant. Faith Harriers.

Harders said Sands has worked to better
l'K by raising money for scholarships.

Gov. Wilkinson cancels

By MARK R. (‘llELLGBEN
Associated Press

FRANKFURT w
(lov. Wallace
Wilkinson said yester-
day he still hopes to
be able to call a spe~
cial session of the
General Assembly to
take up his education
package. but it won‘t
happeiianytime soon.

“It's now clear that
we‘re not going to WILKINSON
have one in March." Wilkinson said.

Wilkinson said competing interest groups
have their own education agendas and it
has proved difficult to reach any sort of
consensus.

”You could almost say that no two peo-
ple in the commonwealth are in complete
agreement." Wilkinson said.

Wilkinson also said he would like to see a

working on an orientation for new teaching
assistants. and helping to institute awards
for faculty who make outstanding contribu-
tions to undergraduate education.

"I think everybody does like him and ey -
eryone has a lot of respect for him. too."
llarders said.

According to David Watt. chemistry de~
partment chairman. one reason Sands is so
well respected may be that he is both a
teacher andadministrator.

Sands "is an administrator. but he nev-
ertheless volunteers to teach undergrad-
uate chemistry courses.” Watt said "His
willingness to find time to do this is some
thingladmire."

Although he is not teaching now. he
taught Chemistry 440 last semester. tine of
his students. chemical engineering major
Barry Martin. said Sands spent a lot of
time helping students outside of class.

“When we had a test on Monday. he had
special office hours Sunday night." Martin
said. ”He‘s always available for questions.
more so than any other professor.”

“He does all the problems himself. In,
stead of getting solutions from the manual.
he works them out by hand. if you have a
problem. he'll get out the sheet of paper he
worked them out on." Martin said.

With his grey hair. neat clothes and trim
stature. Sands looks distinctly "professor—

compromise on education reached at next
week‘s legislative conference. but he is not
optimistic.

“I would hope that we could accomplish
an agreement. a consensus that we‘re
going to restructure schools." be said.

Instead. “! understand that they‘s proba-
bly lying in ambush for me." Wilkinson
said.

Wilkinson denied that
fused to compromise.

“l’ve never had a ‘My way or no way"
kind of thing." he said.

But he also repeated his contention that
a complete overhaul of the education sys-
tem is needed.

“I think restructuring must come first.“
Wilkinson said. "All of the rest of it. in my
view. is for naught if we don‘t get at the
heart of the matter."

During the morning news conference.
Wilkinson appointed 12 of the 15 members
of the new Council on School Performance
Standards. The group is supposed to report

he also has re

ly' " But behind his thoughtful eyes there is
a rare warmth.

"He‘s a kind man. ' said Kate Johnson.
coordinator of scholarships and retention
through academic affairs. "He's very in-
terestcd in students and other people. lies
real tolerant of individual differences.”

Sands‘ daughter. ('arolyn Loof'f. said he
was tolerant e\ en when his children s
VIC“ s differed from his own.

“lies got very strong opinions. but he
never field us to his opinions. We were free
to make our own choices.” said Looff. who
is the executiyc director of l'K‘s (‘enter for
Business and Economic Research.

“He's got very high standards and l ad-
mire him a lot. He‘s had a big influence on
my life." she said.

Sands has a number of hobbies. lllL'iUd'
mg working crossword puzzles. going to
operas and studying said his wife. Eliza—
beth. She and others have called him
“bright." "sharp. 'and “intellectual."

Sands just said he ioy cs to learn.

"Basically what I am is a student." he
said. adding that the interest in learning
goes along with being a teacher Teaching
is “not just helping others to learn but
learning yourself. " he said

As one of several consultants in a [K

project to develop a university in lndone-

sia. Sands took two trips there last semesr
ter. staying about a month each time

back in August with a system for deter-
mining precisely how Kentucky schools
are performing and standards for how they
should be doing

Such a system is crucial for Wilkinson s
own plan for schools. which essentially
would free individual teachers f'rom regu-
lations to pursue what they thought best
for the students Wilkinson would also es»
tablish a series of benchmark schools to be
used as models for new teaching methods
andtools.

Wilkinson also has proposed an incentive
program that would pay cash to schools
where students show improvement. The
money could be used in any way the per-
sonnel at the school desired.

The council was not appointed to pro-
mote his own program. Wilkinson said.

“This committee is not political." Wil-
kinson said. “It is not designed to be for
one education program or another educa-
tion program."

‘Don’t Tell A Soul,’ but new album
continues The Replacements’ growth

Like most great American bands, The
Replacements have built up a certain mystique
about themselves as being a band with one
hand on their amplifiers’ volume knob and the
other on the self-destruct button.

about to the general public. but

American hands capable of consis-
tently putting out quality material.

In Meet Me is that kind of album.

Like most great American bands.
The Replacements have hutlt up a
certain mystique about themselves
as heme a hand \\lth one hand on
their amplifiers volume knob and
the other on the seltdestruct hut-
Tint

But something happened in the
year .llltl a halt since that last
album the hand grew up. They

 

 

 

 

 

began by replacing guitarist Bob
Stinson with Slim Dunlap and the
change became immediately no-
ticeable,

The band was known to be a hap-
hazard experience on the concert
trail. One night, they could be ca-
pable of putting on an extremely
powerful show, they next they
could be so staggering drunk that
they couldn't remember simple
chord progressions.

I got to see this new-found matu-
rity at their Bogarts appearance
late in ‘87. They still put on a
rowdy. irreverent show but they re-
alized that they were there to con-
centrate on music instead of con
centrating on dousing the audience
with beer,

Band leader and lyricist Paul
Westerberg also got married. All of
this has resulted in Don‘t Tell A
Soul. the group's most subdued and
yet most mature album to date.

Don't Tell A Soul splices the best
elements of Pleased To Meet Me
and Tim together. The country feel
that surfaced on Tim‘s “Waitress
In The Sky” is evident here in
”Achin' To Be" although there‘s
nothing along the lines of the smar-
my cocktail lounge jazz of Pleased
To Meet Me's “Nightclub Jitters."

The album starts off with the
acoustic strum of "Talent Show"
which eventually kicks in with a
drivmg beat. This song sets a fit»
ting tempo for the rest of the
album to follow.

Westerberg assures the hard
core faithful that, despite the pres-
sures of having a major label con-
tract, they haven't sold out. “We
ain't much to look at so/Close your
eyes here we go" he tells us.

Westerburg confronts those pres-
sures (“The demands made upon
you/Are hard to live up to/It‘s fu-
tile to try and deny it") on
“They‘re Blind," an indictment of
both critics of the band and the
fickle music-buying public. “The
things you hold dearly are scoffed
at and yearly judged once and then
left aside/They hold you too close
to the light."

They‘re harsh words and Wester-
berg is obviously a man of convic-
tions.

He‘s also an expert at succinctly
conveying the anxiety-ridden feel~
ings of isolation and consequent re-
bellion that permeate most of his
characters. Perhaps his best exam‘
ple of this is Let It Be‘s “Unsatis-
fied“ where, by the end of the
song, Westerberg has reduced its
emotion to a simple repitition of
the chorus (“I’m so unsatisfied").
Each time, Westerberg‘s raw and
unhindered voice gives the line a
new inflection, changing the feeling
until it winds down into a subdued
resignation.

"Achin‘ To Be" is this albums
“Unsatisfied.“ Here Westerberg
paints a portrait of a lonely woman

 

the Kentucky Kernel

 

 

 

we are students

 

 

 

 

who‘s like an artist with nothing in
front of her but a blank canvas.
She dances alone in clubs where
she‘s transparent to everyone ex-
cept Westerberg. He is her ally in
loneliness and, because of this, is
able to see her for what she is —an
empty, unfulfilled life, “She’s
achin‘ to bejust like me.“

That same feeling is in the first
single off the album, “I‘ll Be You."

From the first lines —“If, it's a
temporary lull/Why‘m I bored
right out of my skull" — you know

where Westerberg is coming from.
The best phrase to describe the
song is a title from one of the
bands early days, “Shiftless When
Idle.“

This is also the most smoothly
produced album and it shows on
the anthemic “We‘ll Inherit The
Earth." which concerns itself with
the apparent lack people willing to
make a commitment to any ideal.
much less themselves.

What starts with the brooding
portent of “We‘ll inherit the earth-
/But we don‘t want it" turns into a

mocking “It ~s been ours since
birth/ What are you doing on
it'l/Well inherit the earth/Don't

tell anybody/It's ours already,"

Not even the rave-up throwback
to the Sorry Ma, I Forgot To Take
Out The Trash days sounds as
ragged as it wants to be,

But maybe that‘s because The
Replacements themselves are now
concerned with focusing their en»
ergies into tightly-knit songs with
an emotional center instead of dis»
posable rockers

Whatever the case. this album.
while not as raucous or instantly
enjoyable as Pleased To Meet Me.
shows the band giving a forceful
scratch at the itch of their poten-
tial. If this band gets any better, it
could get scary .

Tigers have league

 

by the tail, but SEC

race far from over

By (‘HRIS HARVEY
Staff Writer

A few weeks ago, the Southeast-
ern Conference basketball race
looked as cluttered as the NCAA‘s
desk with violations. as most of the
teams had comparable won-lost re-
cords.

Now, however, a team has finally
emerged which looks set to break
away from the rest of the league
pack.

Tonight‘s SEC hardwood contests
could prove to be yet another im-
portant piece to solving the puz-
zling question of who’ll be wearing
the conference crown come March
and who’ll be among the confer-
ence‘s also-rans.

A preview of tonight‘s games:

University of Alabama at Missis-
sippi State University: For Coach
Wimp Sanderson‘s Crimson Tide
its-5, and 84 in SEC) this game is
of huge importance as his team is
in the thick of the title hunt. The
Tide can‘t afford to stub their toe
down in Starkville, Miss, because
after its game with the Bulldogs. it
must travel to Lexington to take on
an angry bunch of Wildcats.

Richard Williams” inconsistent
Bulldogs (912, 3-9 in SEC), can
play the role of a spoiler by beating
the Tide. To do that, forward Cam-
eron Burns must be active on both
the offensive and defensive ends of
Humphrey Coliseum.

The key to the game is how well
the veteran Alabama starting five
can rattle the youthful Bulldogs at
the start. If the Dogs get confi-
dence early. they could end up
dealing the Tide a crushing confer-
ence loss.

Auburn University at the Univer-
sity of Florida: The Gators (14-10,
8-4 in SEC) have suddenly found
that playing hard for 40 minutes
can translate into wins. A month
ago. coach Norm Sloan's club was
all but left for dead. But suddenly
Dwayne Schintzius and company
have gone on a six-game win
streak that they hope to continue

With a 1-11 conference record,
Auburn can forget about any type
of championship, so they may want
to use this game to fine tune their
poor offensive game for the SEC
tournament held in March.

Vanderbilt University at the Uni-
versity of Georgia: The Commo-
dores (14-10, 8-4 in SEC) find them-
selves in a position they haven’t
been in this late in the season:
near the top of the league stand-
ings. Trailing league leader LSU
by only one game, coach C.M.
Newton’s squad is playing inspired
basketball — just ask UK after
they were beaten 8161 last week in
Nashville, Tenn. If they can contin-
ue to win, a second straight NCAA
bid may be in the offering, and it
could help Newton go out in a blaze
of glory.

Georgia (13-10. 5-7 in SEC) can
just about forget winning the
league, but the Dawgs are still in
the running for some kind of post-
season bid. Georgia had a disap-
pointing campaign. but should be
strong enough at home to whip the
visiting Commodores.

The keys to the game are how
well Vandy's “bomb squad" hits
their patented three-pointers.
Vandy hit 10 of them against UK.
Georgia can post its sixth confer-
ence win of the season if they can
get guard Litterial Green and de-
fensive ace Patrick Hamilton to
find their shooting range.

next hurdle for Cats

After scor-
ing 50 points
against the
University of
T e n n e s s e e
S a t u r d a y
night, Louisia-
na State Uni-
versity fresh—
man Chris
Jackson is
showing no
signs of wearing out.

But can the “law of averages"
affect a player like Jackson. the
Southeastern Conference‘s leading
scorer at 28.2 points a game?

UK basketball coach Eddie Sut-
ton entertained that question from
a reporter yesterday during his
team’s practice, Shaking his head.
the UK coach responded. “I would
just as soon not play against him at
all."

Sutton doesn't say that about
many players. But then, (‘hris
Jackson is hardly just any player

“Jackson is the best player in the
SEC, by far." [’K forward Derrick
Miller said yesterday Miller
should know * he had the unfortu—
nate job of guarding Jackson when
LSU beat the Wildcats in Itupp
Arena 64-62on Jan. 14th

On that night. Jackson scored 27
points — including the final ii; for
his team ‘ to carry the visitors
from a 13-p0int defecit to a '\u)~
point wm.

Ironically. one of Jackson's poor-
est shooting nights came against
['K - » he hit only nine of 23 shots

“You have games like that]
Jackson said. "But you've got to
stay tough. and I did."

His team has been even tougher
LSU, 1745 overall and 9-3 in the
league. is the hottest team in the
SEC and one of the hottest in the
nation. The Tigers. ranked .'\o. it)
in the Associated Press poll. lead
the conference by a full game and
have lost only once since snatching
the victory from [K one month
ago.

”LSU has got hold of a rabbits
foot and you've got to have that to
win a conference championship]
