Barnes, a native of Johnson City, Tenn., assumed responsibilities immediately as coordinator of recruiting for coach Sharon Fanning's Lady Kat staff.
"I am very pleased to have Andy on my staff," Fanning said. "He is an aggressive, intelligent young man who wants to get involved with the community as well as coach basketball. I think he has the personality to get recruits to this campus, and with this program that's half the battle."
A 1980 graduate of East Tennessee. Barnes coached at the high school level for six years before joining coach Susan Yow as an assistant at Drake a year ago. From 1980 to 1984. he was an assistant men's basketball coach, head baseball coach and head golf coach at Daniel Boone High School in Gray, Tenn. He then taught for one year at Sun Valley High School in Monroe. N.C., before returning to Tennessee to teach and assist in men's basketball at Unicoi County High in Erwin.
"Andy has a good knowledge of the game and will assist in practice and games as well as coordinate the recruiting," Fanning said. "Philosophically, we are on the same track, and I feel very confortable discussing goals with him."
Barnes, 29, said he is thrilled to join Fanning and the Lady Kat program.
"Growing up in Tennessee, I am very familiar with Kentucky tradition," he said. "I understand the tremendous amount of potential for this program and I'm excited to be a part of it."
Singletary Grants Awarded
Eleven Kentucky high school seniors and one community college student have been awarded the 1987 Otis A. Singletary Scholarships, which are funded by the University of Kentucky Athletics Association.
The UKAA Board of Directors established the scholarship fund in 1985, giving $250,000 from athletic funds to begin the program.
Each of the 12 scholarships is worth $19,200, which covers all expenses for four years of college, including tuition, room and board and books. The scholarships are named in honor of former UK president Dr. Otis A. Singletary, who retired at the end of last month. They are the largest merit scholarships in school history.
To win a scholarship, recipients must score 30 or higher on the ACT and have a grade-point average of 3.5 or above. Students also are evaluated on writing ability, extracurricular activities and a personal interview.
The 12 recipients are Carol Ann Collett of Jackson, Neil Edward Scheurich of Lexington, Rebecca Kathryn Collins of Thelma, Sharon Elaine Durall of Greenville, Julie Ann Long of Clinton, Benjamin Thomas Marshall of Flemingsburg, Barry Paul McNees of Winchester, James Brian Rogers of Hopkinsville, Bryan Jay Vanhoose of Catlettsburg, Kevin Wayne Weaver of Bowling Green, Pamela Joy Williams of Hopkinsville and Michael David Wilson of Stearns.
"This is one small way of showing our commitment to supporting the entire university community," said UK athletics director Cliff Hagan. "In addition to attracting the best athletes possible, we want to do our part to attract the best scholars to the University of Kentucky."

The UK General Scholarship Fund is $7,000 richer after receiving a check from the Gulf Oil Products Division recently. The check represented seven MVP Awards given to UK basketball players during SEC TV games last season. Ed Davender won three of the awards, while James Blackmon and Derrick Miller each received two.
'Charlies Boys' Swap Stories At K-Men s Dinner
Weather Couldn't Dampen Paintsville Gathering
They unofficially bill themselves as "Charlie's Boys," those brave guys who survived the Charlie Bradshaw era in UK football (1962-68). and they always are well represented at the annual K-Men's dinner meeting and golf outing at the Paintsville Country Club.
Such was the case on June 19-20. when thunder showers failed to dampen the enthusiasm of the Wildcat varsity alumni who on that particular weekend had chosen to honor the UK baseball, track and tennis teams for fine seasons just completed.
Among the first to arrive at the Heart O' Highlands Motel, the

traditional headquarters for the K-outing. after a round of golf Friday were Terry Beadles, a safety-quarterback, and Kerry Curling, a defensive guard, on the 1965-66-67 UK squads.
Beadles is best remembered for three interceptions, including one in the end zone, in UK's opening upset of Missouri on a hot, steamy day in Columbia in 1965. He intercepted three other pas.;es as a sophomore safety that year and then played quarterback the following two years.
As with most of "Charlie's Boys," reminisces eventually got around to the rough practice sessions when Bradshaw, the former Marine Corps sergeant and drill instructor, brought his boot camp tactics to the Wildcat camp. Bradshaw had played and coached under Paul Bryant and then followed the "Bear" to Tuscaloosa as line coach of the Crimson Tide.

"It was near the end of practice one day," Beadles recalled, "and coach Bradshaw placed the ball on the 10-yard line. He said if the offense scored in four plays, we could go in. If the defense stopped us, they would go in.
"On the first play, I sneaked almost to the goal line before being stopped. As I was getting up, I saw a blurr out of the corner of my eye. It was coach Bradshaw. He knocked me down and then picked me up by my noseguard and shouted, 'Don't you ever get tackled on the six-inch line again.' From then on, I made sure I had a clear shot before heading for the goal line."
Beadles has been a locomotive engineer on the Illinois Central-Gulf Railroad for 14 years. Prior to that he coached Fulton High, his alma mater, for five years. Curling, who hails from Princeton, was his assistant for five years and then took over the head job, which he is now giving up to return to school, perhaps at UT-Martin.
Curling, who was honorary co-captain of the 1967 team along with Doug Van Meter, has a 16-year-old son who is a star golfer with the Fulton team, which finished ninth in the state this season.
Van Meter, who prepped at Owensboro Catholic, was also at Paintsville and remembered well the 17-7 victory over Auburn in 1966, his junior year. When the Tigers' Jimmy Jones line up for a field goal attempt on the UK 24, Bradshaw sent Dicky Lyons in at one end to try to block the kick, and instructed Van Meter, at the other end, to make sure it wasn't a fake. Lyons blocked the kick, Van Meter caught the ball and headed goalward, only to drop the ball and recover it on the 15.
"I couldn't believe it," he said. "I don't know what happened. I didn't get tired. I just dropped the ball."
However, things turned out well as the turnover set up a UK score.
The regular starter at the other end was Jeff Van Note (1966-67-68). He was also at Paintsville and looking fit as the proverbial fiddle after coming off his umpteenth season as center for the Atlanta Falcons. An underrated player during his years at UK, Van Note is associated with Forum Investment Counselors in

Louisville. His son Doug is a senior soccer player at St. Xavier High. The Van Notes also have Susan, 15. and Paige. 12.
Van Note was co-captain of the 1968 team, with Dennis Dren-nen. Rich Machel. a defensive guard in 1964-65-66 and co-captain with Larry Seiple of the '65 team, came to Paintsville from Pittsburgh, where he is a partner in a commercial food company. He reports that a former teammate. Gerard Murphy (DG, 1963-64-65), has a tire distributorship in San Francisco.
Cary Shahid, a linebacker in 1967-68-69, came up from Ft. Walton Beach, Fla., where he is in the development business with hi. .ather. The Shahids developed much of the strip of white sand beaches that include Destin, where the SEC has held its annual meetings the past few years.
Lt. Col. Jerry Davis (S, 1965-66), a squadron commander at Montgomery Air Force Base, said he plans to retire in January after 20 years in the service. As the son of an Air Force lieutenant colonel, he was a well-traveled young man when he enrolled at UK. having lived in nine states and three foreign countriesGermany. Finland and Japan. He attended high school in Frankfurt, Germany, as a sophomore; while in Helsinki, he captured the Finnish 70-meter dash (17-and-under age group). He has an 18-year-old son attending the University of Texas and another son, 14, and a daughter. 12, at home.
Basil Mullins (DT, 1963-64-65), a Paintsville native who is a Kentucky Fried Chicken executive in Louisville, has a daughter. Michele, who is a junior at UK, and a son. Hunter, who is a walk-on football player at Eastern.
Representing Bradshaw's first team, the "Thin Thirty," were Lexington businessman Dave Gash, who is president of the Lexington Wildcat Club and whose son Dave was a recent walk-on player at UK, Terry Clark, who had a successful coaching career at Bryan Station High and Alabama native Phil Pickett.
By season's end, that squad was so thin that Bradshaw played only 22 players in a 12-10 upset of Tennessee in Knoxville. Bradshaw surprised the Vols with a shotgun offense built around the versatile Darrell Cox, who had quit the team during the infamous mass exodus of players, but was convinced to return from his native Florida, where he is a successful businessman today.
Cox gained 111 yards in 19 carries, which was three more rushing yards than the entire UT total, three a six-yard completion, averaged 41 yards on four punts, returned two punts, broke up four UT passes and got the necessary yardage in four of five critical first-down situations.
Clarkie Mayfield (1961-62-63) of Alva, Ky., kicked a 36-yard field goal to tie the score in the first quarter and then hit a 19-yarder in the final 16 seconds to give UK the win. A successful coach at Jackson State University, Mayfield died while trying to rescue persons trapped in the Beverly Hills Country Club fire.
Also present in Paintsville were two 1966 teammates who had unforgettable run-ins with Bradshaw. Mike Cassity, who played end and was a second cousin to the McGuire Sisters, a popular singing group at the time, earned fame of a sort when he reached the breaking point in practice one day and decked Bradshaw; surprisingly enough, Cassity was not kicked off the team. Bradshaw did suspend starting placekicker Chuck Arnold from the team in a "personal matter," and left him home as the Wildcats lost 28-19 to UT in Knoxville in a game that a missed UK extra point in the first
