VIEWPOINT

Court should rule
NCAA allegations
open to the public

The University announced on Tuesday that it has en.
tered into a joint petition with the Louisville (‘ourier-Joun
nal asking the Fayette County t‘ircuit (‘ourt to decide

whether allegations against
should be released to the public.

I‘K‘s basketball program

University President David Roselle summed up the con-
flict best by saying the issue is a competition between the
public's right to know and the individual‘s right to privacy.

There are no easy answers to that problem. And the
l'niversity and the (YourierrJournal have taken the most
appropriate action by letting the courts decide

[n this instance. however. it is obvious that the NCAA
allegations and the names linked to them should be public

record.

Primarily. the t'nivei‘sity is a state agency. Inherent
within that term is a public trust that the l'niversity must
maintain. For that reason alone l'K should be compelled to

make the allegations public.

The Open Records Law provides for records to be made
open to the public. Newspapers and the media in general
publish those records: to inform the public

Although it is our suspicion that the l'niversity really
doesn't care whether the allegations are released, lit just
doesn‘t want to be sued ,_ l'K officials will contend that the
allegations against the program are a preliminary report
from the NCAA and could be withdrawn at any time.

Thus. LTniversity officials contend. if the allegations
were made public now and then withdrawn later. the dam»
age to the reputation of individuals named would be se—

rious,

The argument makes sense except for the fact that
damage to the reputations of several people linked to the
UK basketball program could not be any worse. The public
has known all along who is connected to most of the 18 alle

gations against the program

could do no more harm

Releasing those allegations

Furthermore. as the (.‘ouriei'Journal contends in the pe-
tition. the allegations cannot be a preliminary report since
L'K released the first allegation. that assistant basketball
coach Dwane Casey sent $1.0m lll an Emery overnight
package to the father of recruit (‘hris' Mills

By the time the court system makes a decision on the
petition two to three months from now. everyone probably
will know who is connected to what allegations in fact the
University. according to the \‘t‘AA. should have its rev
ponsetothe allegations by Dec 12

()n the surface that timetable would appear to make
this action by [K and the Lomsville paper moot. But this
issue raises a principle about the ptiblic‘s right to know.

which can never be overlooked

Where the public's right to know crosses over the line
and infringes on personal privacy is by no means black
and white It must constantly be examined. even in state
agenCies where records should flow to the public more

freely.
But in this case
ed

ii is clear that line has not been cross-

ious hypocrisy

‘Last Temptation of Christ’ presents positive message

I drove 138.4 miles (ict T to see
Martin Scorsese‘s controversial
and supposedly blaspheiiious
movie. "The Last Temptation of
Christ "

Dayton is a far way to go for
anything. but 1 couldnt see the
movie in Lexington, Louisville or
Cincinnati because specialvinterest
groups have blocked it from being
shown because it does not give the
“official account" of the life of
Jesus Christ

There were a handful of protes
ters standing outside the Neon The
ater in Dayton holding signs and
passmg out fliers ()ne of the pro
testers. Annette Smith of the As
semblies of God. told me the movie
"is bad for (‘hristians '

After watching the Qty-hour
movie. however. I was not ready to
convert to a religion that recrutts
members at airports as some
people have said will happen to
Christians who see the movie bu‘
I felt stronger about my faith
looking at it in a deeper way

Many of the film‘s protesters arc
fundamentalist Protestants who
have not seen the movie but haw
been assured by church leaders
many of whom have not seen the
movie either »- that it is hlasplit-
mous and disrespectful to (‘hrist

While Scorsese's Christ. based on
the one in Neikos Kazantzakiss
1955 novel. most definitely is not
the Westernized version that has
been spoon-fed to us for the last
1.500 years. it is one worth examin
ingandbroodingabout

A religion must allow its mem
bers room to grow and ask ques
tions that will strengthen their
faith Listening to many of those
who have protested the film. how
ever. would give one the impres
sion that Christianity prOVides no
room for any growth

What is so ironic about that is
that Protestantism was born out of
dissent and the need people had to
worship God in a different way
than (‘atholicism allowed at the
time

The blame goes to George Bush

ambiguous labels ranging from pa

I have tried all the theories and
strategies of campaigning which i
learned in my political science
classes to explain the candidates

However. I finally figured out the
