Wilkinson says he’s not under investigation

 

Associated Press

Neither the FBI nor any grand jury is in-
vestigating Gov. Wallace Wilkinson,
according to a spokesman for US. Attor-
ney General Dick Thornburgh.

Wilkinson also has denied that he is the
target of an FBI probe into his Italian
business deals.

The allegation was raised by The Cou-
rier-Journal, which reported Saturday that
the federal government was checking to
see if a logging company co-owned by Wil-

kinson had improperly brought money into
the United States.

Wilkinson challenged the newspaper to
disclose the source of its information, but
it declined.

So, the question seems to be when is an
investigation not an investigation?

The Lexington Herald-Leader said inter-
views with law enforcement officials in
Washington and Kentucky indicate the an-
swer may lie in the phrasing understood
by only a few officials of the US. Justice
Department.

The Justice Department says “an inves

tigation" exists only after preliminary evi-
dence has been gath red and authorities
determine that there is enough evidence to
justify opening a formal case file.

The Wilkinson case apparently is in that
embryonic stage before investigators know
enough to determine whether the case is
worth pursuing, the newspaper reported.

The Italians “sent stuff back here," a
Justice Department source said. “It‘s
being translated now, and nobody knows
where it will lead, if anywhere."

The Kentucky end of the inquiry appar-
ently was sparked by the Italian tax-police

“People are people everywhere,"
whether they are Americans or Rus-
sians, said Vladimir Schukin, a Soviet
journalist.

Breaking stereotypes between the
world's two superpowers and forming
an open line of communication were the
reasons two Soviet journalists came to
UK yesterday.

Schukin, a North American editor of
Novosti Press Agency —— a news wire
service that serves the Soviet Union ~—
and Vladimir Tyurienkov, former stu-
dent editor of Baumanets — the news-

 

paper of the Moscow Higher Technical
Institute * visited UK to promote an
exchange program with American uni-
versities.

“(The program) is to give the oppor-
tunity, to give the chance for students
in both countries to exchange informa-
tion about student life," Schukin said. It
is “to clear up old misconceptions and
break old stereotypes. The future of our
earth belongs to young students."

The correspondence program involves
publishing articles from Russian jour-
nalists in United States college papers,
and American journalists publishing ar-
ticles in Russian college newspapers.
Visits by student journalists between

Soviets visit campus, promote program

the two countries also are being ar-
ranged.

The program was started through the
Novosti Press Agency by recent grad-
uates of Moscow State University‘s
journalism school. Peter Schiller, a se-
nior at the University of Cincinnati,
began the program at UC after speak~
ing with representatives of Novosti at
the Soviet Traveling Exhibition.

Schiller said the program is a chance
for Soviet journalists to write freely
without being censored.

”In Russia, it is up to the editor of the
paper if they want to print a story or
not," Schiller said. "It all depends on
the editor."

Reds and‘Rose a gamble, so pick Padres to take N L West

Ah, yes The first of April is upon
us and every sports fan knows
what that means — the start of the
major league baseball season.

America's game started its regu-
lar season yesterday in good fash-
ion — with the host Cincinnati Reds
a winner

Every team in the league has
dreams of winning the pennant and
playing in the World Series be-
cause this is their year.

Well. everybody
Braves and Orioles.

Here is a brief preview — with a
few predictions _- of the upcoming

The New York Mets definitely
have the best talent in the league.
but they also have the largest col-
lection of egOS in baseball. The
Mets make the Yankees look like
America ‘5 team.

it the Mets can play team base-
ball and keep from beating each
other up » which are a couple of
very big ifs — they will probably
win the East. This could be the last
.war of the Mets‘ dynasty over the
Ni. East because the team leaders

 

 

are getting older and the young
players are getting cockier.

If the Mets beat themselves, then
any of three teams — St. Louis,
Pittsburgh or Montreal — will
jump ahead of them.

The Cardinals, if they can stay
healthy, probably have the best
chance to catch the Mets because
they are a team. this is an odd
year and they have, undoubtedly.
the best manager in baseball,
Whitey Herzog.

The Pirates are probably still a
year away, but they do have the
raw talent to surprise in the East.

Next to the Mets. the Expos have
the second best starting pitchers in
the National League. They also can
score some runs. but do they have
enough fan support from the city of
Montreal to inspire a winner? I
don‘t think so.

NL WEST:

The Los Angeles Dodgers, the de-
fending World Champions, have
improved with the addition of
Eddie Murray, but can the Dodgers
shake the “year-after” blues?

There is no doubt that the San
Diego Padres improved over the
winter more than any other team.
The additions of Jack Clark and
Bruce Hurst could catapault them
to the top. If the Padres trade one
of their two young, marketable
catchers, they definitely will win
the division, but the Padres' man-
agement is asking for an arm and
aleg in return.

The Cincinnati Reds have the tal-
ent to win the division, but no team
can win a division without a leader
— and the Reds don’t have a lead-
er. The beet thing that could hap-

pen to the Reds is if manager Pete
Rose -— the worst manager in base—
ball — is suspended or fired.

Winner: San Diego Padres by
three games.

AL EAST:

With only 3 1/2 games separating
first and fifth place last season,
this is still the toughest division in
baseball, which makes it difficult
to call a winner. There are five
teams with a chance to win the
East.

With Bruce Hurst, the Boston
Red Sox would be the easy pick to
win the pennant, but Hurst is in
San Diego, and there are many ifs
in Boston’s starting rotation. The
Sox do have enough offense to win,
but any injuries to a starting pitch-
er and Boston will find itself closer
to the bottom than the top.

The New York Yankees have bet-
tered themselves from a year ago
— especially in the dugout ~— but
an injury to Dave Winfield could be
devastating. Winfield is scheduled

to return in late July and look for
the Yanks to make a run at the top
spot.

The Toronto Blue Jays and the
Milwaukee Brewers have the solid
starters, but their benches are
weak and an injury will finish off
their chances. Both teams have
ample veterans and promising
youth to make a run at the pen—
nant, but do they have the consis-
tency it will take to win this divi-
sion? No.

Winner: New York Yankees by
on game.

AL WEST:

Last season, the Oakland Athlet-
ics had the best team in baseball,
but they came up short in the
World Series. That won’t happen
again. With the addition of Mike
Moore to the league’s best pitching
staff, the A’s look to be invincible.

Unless something dreadful hap-
pens to Oakland — like Jose Cause-
co breaking his leg —— the A‘s will
win the division.

The Minnesota Mns won the

91 games last season to finish sec-
ond in their division. They will
have to win more than 100 games
this year to advance to the play-
offs. The Twins have improved
from a year ago and still have the
most underrated player in the
game — Kirby Puckett.

The Kansas City Royals are a
better-than-average team, but in

enough. The Royals added catcher

Michigan downs Seton Hall

College hoops
changing face
once again

By HAL BOCK
Associated Press

SEATTLE — The proprietors of
college basketball look proudly at
their product and proclaim it the
best game on the sports block.
That‘s not to say, however, that
they are unwilling to alter it.

Within the last decade, they’ve
changed it substantially, introduc-
ing the still-controversial 3-point
shot and forcing teams to shoot
within 45 seconds.

What will they do for the next de-
cade? How will the face of basket-
ball change as the game ap-
proaches the year 2000 and the 21st
century?

Ed Steitz, secretary-editor of the
NCAA rules committee and who is
called the father of the 3-point shot,
thinks it will continue to evolve.

“By then, we’ll have a wider
lane, from the current 12 feet to the
Olympic width of 18 feet," Steitz
said. “it will minimize rough low
post play, open the lane for the
drive and enhance the clever, low
post player. We have to do some-
thing to minimize congestion.
There are so many big people in
such a confined area.”

That confined area will be ad-
justed eventually, too, Steitz said.

“I see them lengthening the
court by about 20 percent,” he
said. “It‘s an end-line-to-end-line
game now with much less half-
court play.“

The speed of the game and effi-
ciency of the shooters continues to
improve, and Steitz thinks that
trend will continue and cause the
iafoot, 9-inch distance for 3-point
shots and 45~second clock to be ad—
justed.

“The clock will be reduced, prob-
ably to 30 seconds," he said. “The

 

IANDAL WILLIAMSON/Kernel Stat!

Michigan's Glen Rice, shown here in the Southeast Regional, was
a big reason why the Wolverines won the national championship.

3-point goal will be moved out in
relation to shooting percentages.“

A committee of coaches already
has suggested changing the 3-point
shot to the international distance of
20 feet, 9 inches. Steitz does not be-
lieve that change will be approved
by the rules committee this week
because NCAA research does not
show any substantial change in the
accuracy of shooters from 19—9.
That, too, will change eventually,
though.

“Shooting will improve because
it improves every year,“ he said.
"Everybody likes to score, so they
work on it. I think the players will
be quicker, taller better jumpers
and better shooters.
