Iraqi abuse

DHAHRAN, Saudi Arabia —
The Baghdad government, bombed
into bunkers by the sky-high tech-
nology of a superpower, turned peo-
ple into weapons yesterday, sending
American and other POWs out to
target areas as
“human

“It was awesome and it was

emerging from Iraq and reaching
Amman,Jordan.

The International Red Cross ex-
pressed concern both about Iraq’s

U.S. bombardment of nuclear in-
stallations in Iraq.

On the fifth day of Operation
Desert Storm. the U.S.-led military

across the city at 3:45 am. (7:45

There were wildly varying and

An anti-Saddam Kurdish resis-

war’s first three days. It did not dis-

Staff reports

About 75 people gathered in Tri-
angle Park Saturday morning to
show support for U.S. troops in the
Persian Gulf, wavmg American
flags as the Star Spangled Banner
played over a public address sys-
tem.

The crowd included family of
troops involved in Desert Storm. as
well as war veterans and young
children. Some held signs. one of
which read, “Send Saddam a greet-
ing via Stealth."

Passing motorists honked their
car horns and shouted suppon to the
demonstrators throughout the rally.

James Comett, of Operation
Desert Care »— the rally's organizer
— said the demonstration was in-
tended to support U.S. troops, not
endorse America’s foreign policy.

“We are concerned regarding the
the anti-war demonstrations taking
place," Comett said last week. “We
think, whether or not you're for
war. you ought to at least support
the troops over there.

“We feel like those guys are over
there servmg their country and nsk-
ing their lives. They need to be
treated as heros."

Demonstrators also signed a ban-
iier donated by a local sign compa-
ny which read. “Kentucky Supports
the Troops of Desert Storm."

Some of the messages written on
the banner: “We love you and we
suppon you 100 percent, ‘ "Kick ass
and come home‘." “Keep your heads
down;" “God bless you all," and
“G0 to it guys -—— you‘re in our
prayers.”

GA race to include Boyd, Crosbie

By GREGORY A. HALL
Senior Staff Writer

Saying problems exist in the cur-
rent Student Government Associa-
tion administration. a third SGA
senator yesterday declared her can-
didacy for SGA president.

Senator at Large Ashley Boyd
said she will run in the SGA spring
elections with Scott Crosbie, a
member of the Farmhouse social
fratemity. as her running mate for

vice president.

Boyd. a psychology senior from
Frankfort. Ky, is a member of the
Alpha Omicron Pi social sorority.

Boyd. 2], said she wants SGA to
be more welcoming to students and
more effective in its operations. She
said current president Sean Loh-
man‘s politics have kept people
away from student government.

"I think that putting students first
is something that every student gov—
eminent president should live by."

Boyd said, making reference to
Lehman‘s campaign slogan. “I
don‘t feel that Sean has stood by
that statement all the time."

Crosbie, 20. said the Lehman ad-
ministration has good ideas but has
not implemented some of its carn-
paign promises. The current admin
istration lost its focus, he said.

He said Boyd-Crosbie would “de—
velop more programs and continue
on with those that have been effec-
tive.

“I think that the student govem-
ment in the past year has not effec-
tively promoted the interests of the
students themselves,“ Crosbie said.
“The slogan 'Students First‘ implies
that the Student Government Asso-
ciation will represent the student.
but too many times they‘ve looked
upon other interests.“

He said SGA has not gotten an
expansion of checkcashing hours
and hasn‘t been vocal about Robin-
son Forest, UK‘s near 15,000-acre

research facility in Ctblcm Ken-
tucky maybe mined.

Boyd and (‘rosbie decided to run
this weekend. Boyd said she has
been conSidering ninning since last
semester.

They said a number of people
persuaded them to enter the race.

“They said they didn‘t like the
(preSidenual) field this far." Boyd
said.

ANDY COLUGNON’ Kernel 5"?“

UK senior Reggie Hanson slams one home in the second half of
Saturday's 58—50 victory over Vanderbilt. Hanson had nine points.

 

Pitino inspiring

force in UK win

Saturday, all wasn't looking spec-
tacular for the Cats, They were, in
short, being controlled by a lesser
Vanderbilt team.

Lesser, that is, in sheer athleti-
cism not in basketball intelli-
gence.

The halftime score: 22-10 Vau-
derbilt. Nineteen points. This from a
L'K team that averages in the lower
40s per half.

The Buffalo Bills scored more
against the Raiders in the first half
of the AFC Championship game on
Sunday than did the Cats against
Vandy. UK was definitely no Super
Bowl team on Saturday.

Nevertheless, that was all the Cats
could muster against a slowed-
tlowu, quick-witted Vandy team.
Smart, perhaps, isn‘t a necessary
modifier, as it seems quite redun-
dant when one speaks of an Eddie
Fogler club.

Fogler »-—~ a serious coach who has
a good sense of humor and loves
cameras’ lights and reporters‘ ques-
tions —~ has Vanderbilt playing the
smartest basketball in the Southeast-
ern Conference.

And the Cats w no dummies
themselves — were, in that first
half, unable to adjust to Vandy‘s
thick zone defense and the take-
your-time offense.

Shots, which ostensibly looked
like good ones, clanked off the rim
into the hands of a waiting Vandy
postman or bounced wildly over the
backboard. A bit a spastic offensive
movement probably caused by
sheer frustration doused With a bit
of desperation —» left the Cats at
Vandy's disposal.

The UK players, it seemed, had
lost themselves while under the
spell of Fogler's firm strategy. They
missed 2/3 of their shots within the
three-point arc and shot a miserable
3-for-lb outside of it.

Why'.’

“Vanderbilt played as intelligent~
1y as I‘ve seen a team play," UK
coach Rick Pitino said. It was
Vanderbilt‘s execution."

But Pitino is not the kind of coach
who lets a little disorganization on
his team’s part get in the way of vic-
tory. He had a plan to neutrali7e Fo-
gler's strategy after that disastrous
half.

”I told them, ‘If the shots aren‘t
there, there are. a few things that you
can turn to,“ Pitino said. "You‘ve
got to treat it (a bad shot) as a pass
off the offensive glass. And two you

By AL HILL
Senior Staff Writer

When UK coach Rick Pitino was
watching his team play the Vander-
bilt Commodores Saturday, he must
have thought he had mistaken the
Rupp Arena entrance for the open-
ing to another era in basketball.

“This was an old-fashioned game,
a throwback game," Pitino said af—
ter his squad beat Vanderbilt 58-50.

And, as Pitino knew, that kind of
game was just what Vanderbilt
coach Eddie Fogler wanted. Fo-
gler’s slowdown tactics were good
enough to produce a 22-19 halftime
lead. The Cats managed 40 shots
and converted only 1 1.

“I felt that our best chance was to
do that,” Fogler said. “I think short-
ening the game is something that
needs to be done for our basketball
team to win here tonight."

But the Cats came out in the sec-
ond half with a different look in
their eyes and a different starting
lineup — one without freshman
power forward Jamal Mashbum.
The Commodores (10—7. 4—3) held
Mashbum to only one rebound and
no points in the first half. So. Pitino
sat him down.

Three minutes and 58 seconds
into the second half, Pitino allowed
his prized freshman readmittance
into the game — with the score 29-
23 in favor of the Commodores.

And a little over two minutes lat-
er, Mashburn muscled over Vander-
bilt for a three~point play, giving the
Cats 3 30-29 lead — a lead they
would never relinquish. The Cats
went on to win Saturday‘s game.

And ironically the victory may

have to get the ball inside. The
third thing is we really have to do
yatc our defense.‘ "

Pitino didn‘t stop there. One must
understand that Palm is a master
motivator. He knows the subtle ~7-
and not so subtle » coaching tech-
niques that awaken a player to realty
ties of his performance and make
him want to correct them.

In the past, his big project has
been Sean Woods, the L'K point
guard. Woods, who has always suf-
fered from m'erconfidence, has a
unique relationship with his coach.
and even when Pitino gets a bit
harsh benching. etc. A the jun-
ior guard responds with better play.

Saturday‘s pupil was freshman
Jamal Mashbum. The (Moot-8 for-
ward was not, in any effective
sense at Rupp Arena during the
first half. He took two shots ..- both
missed » and pulled down only
one rebound.

So Pitino benched Mash.

"I just put it on the board (during

halftime),“ Pitino said. “I told them
that if we are only getting one re-
bound out of our power forward
then we are obviously going to
make a change.

“1 didn‘t direct it in any area, just
made a statement. And I think la—
mal has a great deal of pride.“

Mashbum responded just as did
the entire team. The defense started
moving faster and forced turnover
after tumover. And they worked it
inside —-- to none other than Mash-
burn.

“I thought I wasn't going to play
the whole rest of the game,“ Mash-
bum said. “You never know with
Coach. But that‘s why I came
here. Where other coaches back off,
Coach Pitino pushes.“

Mashbum. pushed as he was,
pushed Vandy defenders around un-
derneath to grab six rebounds —
five offensively —— and 17 points in
the triumphant second half.

See PlTINO, page 4

have never occurred if Mashbum
hadn’t been benched.

In the second half. Mashbum
picked up five offensive rebounds,
and a game leading 17 points that
enabled the Cats to win their ninth
game in a row this season and 15th
straight at Rupp Arena.

“We couldn‘t get him (Mashbum)
off the boards, then he hit the big
three,” Fogler said. “He's a load in
there. Horse, he‘s from New York
and I’m from New York, so make
that a horse."

Call him what you want, but the
way Mashbum has played in the
second half this season, maybe
“Bluechip” would be more appro-
priate.

One of the reasons Mashbum
chose UK was Pitino’s ability to
motivate players. Pitino made only
a slight change, and that lit a fire
under Mashbum.

“I just put it on the board," Pitino
said. “I told that them that if we are
only getting one rebound out of our
power forward, then we are obvi-
ously going to make a change. I
didn‘t direct it in any area. just
made a statement, and I think lanzal
has a great deal of pride."

Mashbum led all scorers with 17
points, five better than his average.
Mashbum also led the Cats in re-
bounds, along with junior lohn Pel-
phrey, with six.

Vanderbilt was led by senior
guard Scott Draud, who finished
with 15 points and sophomore
guard Kevin Anglin, who scored 14.

Saturday's game was the Cats
lowest point total of the season.
They have been averaging 85.6

Lady Kats shoot over wall,
beat Commodores 80—63

By JONATHAN MILLER
Staff Writer

Bombs were bursting in the nets
at Memorial Coliseum Sunday as
the UK Lady Kats dismantled a (to
liath-like Vanderbilt squad 80-63.

The Lady Kats (13-4) broke a
three—game losing streak while
mending a poor Southeastem Con-
ference start before a roaring crowd
of 1,720.

The Lady Kats won their first
SEC game in three tries. The Lady
Commodores (11~7) fell in their
fourth consecutive loss and now are
2-3 in the conference.

“We. were outworked. outhustled
and outplayed," said Phil I ee,
Vandy’s head coach. “It was a dis-
appointing effort we‘re in a
slump."

The lady Commodores posed a
formidable frontiltne wall with 6.4
Wendy Scholtens. 6-3 \tlistv Lamb.
5-11 Julie Powell and 6-8 skyscrap-
er sub Heidi Gillingham.

As a result, the lady Kats had lit—
tle ch01ce but to shoot over the
Lady Commodore wall.

And the wall crumbled a thanks
to a blistering 9 of 17. 1’75 percent)
three«point assault by Kats Tracye
Davis, Kristi Cushenberry and Mia
Daniel.

Davis (lid the most damage by
hitting 4 of 7 from three-point
range. She scored 14 points for the
game.

Cushenberry led scoring for the
Lady Kats with 18 points (3 of 2
three-pointers).

But it was Daniel‘s three—
consecutive treys that blew the
game open at the 12:49 mark in the
first half.

When Lady Kat head coach Shar-
on Fanning inserted Daniel into the
game at the 14:14 mark, Vandy led
18-14.

“Coach told me to shoot the ball."
said Daniel, 3 5-11 sophomore.

The Lady Commodores backed
away from Daniel, daring her to
shoot the trey.

Swish, barn. boom.

Daniel's nine straight points
which were her only points
sparked a 16-0 run, and the Kats led
30-18 with 9:44 left.

”Somebody has to make the big
play," Fanning said. “We‘re im-
proving our patience for making the
big play."

The 44-32 halftime break only
proved to delay the Kats from mak-
ing more big plays.

Davis hit two straight trcys early
to extend the lead to 18 points.

The UK gymnastics learn has
come one step closer to the day it
faces Southeastern Conference
competition but still has a way to
go before it will be up to par with
SEC powerhouses.

Friday night’s victory over
Bowling Green University in Me—
morial Coliseum marked the
Kats’ fourth straight win in as
many contests.

Yet, despite the impressive
record, the Kats have been aver-
aging about 183 points while oth-
er SEC tearns generally are per-
forming in the low 1905.

This team is very young, how-
ever, and these are the first col-
lege meets for many of them, like

 

SEC awaits the youthful team

freshman Amy
Appel -— who
finished sec-
ond overall in
her UK debut.
“The main
thing we have
to do in gym-
nastics is what
we have done
today — try to
APPEL improve each
week, try to add a little more diffi-
culty, eliminate your mistakes,”
UK gymnastics coach Leah Little
said.

Appel, who finished with a
36.65 score, shrugged off an in-
jured shin that she sustained dur-
ing the uneven bars competition.
The 18-year-old won over not
only thejudges but also the crowd

with her stirring floor exercise.

She displayed both great con-
trol and a good deal of difficulty
— which was good enough to win
the event with score of 9.55.

“I feel pretty good," Appel said.
“I have a few things l can work
on. I felt like l helped the team fi-
nally.”

Appel is one of a dynamic
bunch of freshmen featuring Su-
zanne Gutierrez — who led the
Cats for the second time in a row.
Gutierrez was the overall individ-
ual winner with a score of 36.80.

Gutierrez won the beam event,
after completing her routine with-
out falling — something the Kats
have had problems with thus far.

“For them to be so young and
doing so well they have really sur-
prised me. The freshmen have
really been carrying us," Little
said.

Bills-Giants: A clash of opposites

Associated Press

TAMPA, Fla. — For the silver
anniversary Super Bowl. the NFL
offers a matchup of opposites, a raz-
zle-dazzle offense against a defense
that surrenders points grudgingly.

AFC champion Buffalo is like
one of those old AFL teams that
scored touchdowns in bunches. The
Bills produced 95 points in two
playoff games.

The NFC champion New York
Giants are a reminder of the old
NFL teams, where points were of-
ten at a premium, allowed infre-
quently by determined defenses.
They permitted just 16 points in two
playoff games.

This. then, is the immovable ob-
ject against the irresistible force.
This is Ray Nitschke, his uniform
covered with grass stains and mud,
against Darryle Lamonica, firing
long pass after long pass downfield.
This is the stout defense against the
free-wheeling offense. This ought to
be fun.

The Giants were almost perfect
against Chicago in a 31-3 victory
that moved them to the champion-
ship game. Then they allowed just
one TD against San Francisco and
rode five field goals by Matt Bahr
to a 15-13 victory.

“We tried to shorten the game a
little,” Giants coach Bill Parcells
said. “Defensively, we had just a
one-play lapse. Offensively, we did
a good job running.”

The Bills glided up and down a
snowy field, shellacking Miami 44-
34 in the playoff opener, and then
embarrassed the Los Angeles Raid-
ers 51—3 in the championship game,
scoring almost at will.

Buffalo’s offense rides on the ri-
fle passes of golden-armed Jim Kel-
ly, who threw for five TDs in the
two playoff games, and running
back Thurman Thomas a 1,-000
yard rusher.

New York uses backup Jeff Hos-

 

Super Bowl XXV

tetler at quarterback, giving him his
first real game action in a seven-
year pro career as a replacement for
injured Phil Simms, and elderly run-
ning back Ottis Anderson, available
and ignored by the rest of the league
as a Plan B free agent in each of the
last two years.

“They keep telling me I can't do
it," Hostetler said. “Well, I'm going
to the Super Bowl. The defense did
a super job to hold San Francisco to
that number of points and give us a
chance to kick a field goal and win
it.”

New York’s defense revolves
around all-pro linebacker Lawrence
Taylor, whose recovery of a fumble
forced by Erik Howard led to the
winning field goal against the 49ers.
It was typical for the Giants, who
led the NFC in turnovers.

Buffalo answers with Bruce
Smith, the NFL's Defensive Player
of the Year. The Bills‘ defense
made its own statement with five in-
terceptions against the Raiders in
the AFC title game.

The teams met in the regular sea-
son with Buffalo winning l7-13. It
was in that game that both quarter-
backs were injured, Kelly twisting
his knee and Simms spraining his
arch.

Kelly returned for the playoffs
and has been nothing short of bril-
liant. The Giants, however, have
prospered behind Hostetler, who

has won four straight games since
Simms went down.

Club threatens game

When a furor over an exclusive
pirate club threatened to taint the
Super Bowl festivities with charges
of racism, it was a controversy the
National Football League couldn’t
ignore.

“The NFL was concerned. They
didn't want to see this thing become
an embarrassment,” said Leonard
Levy, co-chairman of the Tampa
Bay Super Bowl Task Force. “Their
message was: ‘Make the controver-
sy go away. We want it to disap-

r"

pear.

At issue was Ye Mystic Krewe of
Gasparilla, an all-white, all-male
club of this city’s power elite. Each
year since 1904, members have
donned colorful pirate garb, crowd-
ed onto a tall ship and launched a
mock invasion and parade that‘s
drawn as many as half a million
spectators.

The raucous event, based on the
legendary deeds of 18th—century pi-
rate Josc Gaspar, was a key selling
point when the city was named to
play host to the silver anniversary
Super Bowl.

It was even rescheduled for the
eve of the Jan. 27 game.

But the plans started to unravel
last August when news media re-
ports critical of the Krewe’s racial
makeup prompted black leaders for
the first time to publicly demand
that it be integrated.

The Cats did, indeed, elevate their
defense, and led by a scrambling
Jeff Brassow forced turnover after
turnover in the deciding second-half
stretch.
