Crosbie angry
as senate fails
election reforms

By JOE BRAUN
Assistant Editorial Editor

Student Government Association
senators shrugged off the notion of
a spending cap and ignored bills
that would have prevented them
from placing campaign posters in
certain places on campuses during
spring elections.

SGA President Scott Crosbie said
he is outraged because of the fail-
ures and he plans “to circumvent
the Senate" to resurrect the failed
proposals.

Crosbie would not elaborate on
how he plans to continue efforts to
pass the election reforms. but he
said he believes reforms need to oc-
cur.

He said the senate has let the stu-
dent body down by failing its obli-
gation of representing the students‘
needs.

“(The senators) are not there for
the right purpose. They are not out
for the students. I really feel that
way.”

Several senators at the meeting
expressed their dislike for the re-
forms because it violated their free-
doms of expression and their rights
to campaign freely.

Crosbie said that Senate Pro Tem
Ashley Boyd “stated (Wednesday)
night she learned to cheat (in elec-
tion expenditures) when she ﬁrst
came to SGA."

In a telephone interview last
night, Boyd said: “1 was taught how
to ﬁx receipts when I ﬁrst came to
UK. And I have taught other peo-
ple."

However, she said she no longer
ﬁxes her receipts. "The last few
elections have been fair because I
got (the election materials) at cost,"
she said.

Her experience in easily circum—
venting the election rules is why she
thinks the election procedure should
be changed, she said.

Senator at Large Jeremy Bates
questioned the restrictions the bills
would have had on the placement of
campaign signs on buildings around
campus.

“I don't think we should be able

to just put up posters anywhere, but
I don't think it’s right to restrict it
even further with this election
board tape.” Bates said.

Bates said many senators were
confused about the purpose of the
reform bills, which added to the
chaos at
Wednesday
night's meeting.

“A lot of sen-
ators hadn’t
been down there
(the SGA of-
ﬁce) and read
the bills. The
people were
confused. ask-
ing the same

CROSB'E questions with
different words,“ he said.

Crosbie created an elections re-
form committee last summer to
help improve elections this year. He
said if that committee would have
carried out their assigned duties, the
reforms already would be in place.

“I gave the Senate the responsi-
bility (to reform elections). and I
drafted an elections reform task
force headed by (Senator at Large)
Jason Vandiver. None of these task
forces ever met, they changed heads
here and there and I think they may
have had only one meeting in the
course of the year."

Vandiver resigned last summer as
head of the election reform commit-
tee and Senator at Large Evelyn
Pepper volunteered to head the task
force, Crosbie said

Pepper said the committee had
trouble ﬁnding a time when all of
the senators on the committee could
meet since last spring.

“We tried to set up several com-
mittee meetings, and their sched-
ules conﬂicted and it never worked
out," she said.

Pepper added that she wasn’t
aware Kruspe had taken over re-
form efforts until he presented the
bills at the senate meeting Wednes-
day night.

The committee, under Pepper,
only met one time —— in January.

Curry hopes to motivate UK women with speech

By HEIDI FUGEMAN
Contributing Writer

Carolyn Curry said career-bound
college women need to be motivat-
ed and encouraged to delve into tra-
ditional men's careers.

Curry. wife of UK head football
coach Bill Curry, will speak about
motivating college women at the
UK Development Conference Satur-
day, Feb. I.

All students, faculty and staff are
invited to the conference sponsored
by the UK Panhellenic Council.

Workshops dealing with such
current female issues as leadership
skills, money management, stress,
career choices, health issues and
time management are being of-
fered.

“Women today aren’t getting into
non-traditional careers as much as
we think they are," Curry said.

“Women seem to have self-
estcem problems once they graduate
from college and get into the real
world and realize thcy aren’t ad-
vancing in the way men are, so I
hope to motivate them."

Susan West, assistant dean of stu-
dents and Panhellenic Council ad-
viser, is responsible for scheduling
Curry for the conference.

“She speaks about women in his-
tory who have been leaders and mo—

tivators. I think she would be a
good role model for women at
UK," West said.

The workshops will be followed
by a luncheon, which is included in
a registration fee of 55. Pre-
registrations are due in by Jan. 28,
in 575 Patterson Office Tower.

The conference will begin at
Worsharn Theater in the Student
Center at 9 a.m.For more infonna—

UK, Arkansas planning to take a good look in the mirror

By JOHN KELLY
Assistant Sports Editor

Arkansas basketball coach Nolan
Richardson is none too happy about
looking down the floor at Rupp
Arena tomorrow and seeing a re-
ﬂection of his own team — wearing
white shorts trimmed in blue.

“We do a lot of the same things,"
Richardson said. “(UK coach) Rick
(Pitino) and I have a lot of things in
common — similarity in the game
and the way we think it should be
played. There
are going to be a
lot of things that
are going to be a
mirror of one
another.

“Sometimes
those mirror
teams are very
hard to play be-
cause you're al-
ways playins PITINO
someone that
doesn't look like you. And you al-
ways want to play someone that
don't look like you. I’ve always
thought that if I could take a team
anywhere and play the total oppo~
site of every team in that league,
then they have to adjust to me."

So what will No. 8 UK (14-3
overall; 4-] Southeastern Confer-
ence) have to adjust to when it faces
No.9 Arkansas (l6-3: 54) at Rupp
Arena?

By JOHN KELLY
Assistant Sports Editor

A few weeks back, UK coach
Rick Pitino said his team had 15
fouls to give under the basket.

Sophomore Gimel Martinez
and freshmen Andre Riddick and
Aminu Timberlake were sharing
playing time at the center posi-
tion, none of the three really out-
shining the others.

With three interchangeable
centers, Pitino knew he had the
luxury of being able to replace
one center in foul trouble with
another who was equally effec-
live.

But now, two days after six of
his players fouled out in a hum-

Riddick breaks into starting lineup

bling 107-85 loss to Tennessee,
Pitino has had a rare change of
opinion.

Yesterday, he decided that UK
could live without a few of those
fouls underneath. More speciﬁ-
cally, he said he didn't need the
ones that Martinez methodically
chalks up in the early minutes of
nearly every game he starts.

So Martinez will spend the
opening minutes of Saturday's
game with Arkansas hanging out
with Pitino. on the bench.

“Gimel Martinez, early in the
game. just gets in foul trouble
and never plays any time." Pitino
said. “He just immediately picks
up two fouls at the start of every

game.
“This way maybe he can watch

a little bit more and learn and be a
little surer of himself when he
comes into the game just by
watching a little bit. He’s never
getting a chance to showcase his
ability because he always gets in
early foul trouble."

The center's foul trouble is only
one of the reasons Pitino will give
freshman Andre Riddick his ﬁrst
UK start. He is more interested in
ﬁnding a cure for the Cats rc-
bounding woes.

The opposition has outrebound-
ed UK nine times in 16 games. As
a team, UK is averaging 34.1 re-
bounds a game, while its oppo-
nents are grabbing 36.

In the Cats three losses, the

Let's go to Pitino’s scouting re-
port.

“They apply a lot of pressure."
Pitino said. “They play some zone.
They mix up their defenses very
well. They're extremely experi-
enced. They challenge shots and
they're deep so they don't have to
worry about foul trouble."

Sound familiar?
In addition, each team leads its

respective division in the realigned
SEC —- Arkansas tops the Western
Division and UK leads the Eastern.

While the teams' styles might
minor each other, Richardson said
that his team is not quite as effec-
tive from three-point land as the
Cats have been this season. On the
other hand. his offensive philoso-
phy is not as three-point dominated
as UK's.

“Anytime you play a Kentucky
team, the thing that is the most dis-
turbing is that they shoot as many
three-pointers as they do," Richard-
son said. “And make so many of
them. That means that defense on
the perimeter has got to be at a pre-
mium.

"The three-pointer is not the
biggest thing in my offense, but
