Playmate of
the Rail

Seeing that you should
all be devoted Kernel
readers I'm going to
assume you've heard
about Playboy
interviewing UK
women for their Girls
of the Southeastern
Conference issue.
There has been some
controversy
concerning Playboy.

What about how Playboy
discriminates against
men? Playboy only
uses female models,
but employment wise
men are getting a
raw deal. This is why
I also should be
allowed to try out for
Playboy.

Come on, I'm good
looking (don't laugh),
I can be sexy (please
don't laugh), and
females find me very
attractive (OK, now
you can laugh).

Anyway, here are some
reasons why I would
make a good
Playmate.

First of all. l go to UK
and I am over the
age of 18.

I look incredible in a
blue and white, UK
baby-doll T-shirt.

I can bend my body in
strange and exotic
forms like sitting
Indian style and
standing on my head.

I can pucker my lips with
the best of them.

I don't like to wear
women’s clothing,
which is a plus when
posing nude.

It takes me an
extraordinarily long
time to look great;
too bad I never take
even a fourth of the
time though.

I'm sure with time I
could pretend to like
geriatric Hugh Hefner
-just like all the
other Playmates.

I wouldn’t be opposed to
playing volleyball
with all the other
Playmates at the
Playboy mansion.

I enjoy sunsets and long
walks on the beach
followed by
stimulating
conversations with
the opposite sex and
blah blah blah (insert
more sensitive crap).

I don’t mind wearing
anything but high
heels, as long as they
are Gucci.

Six words: “Wet and Wild

Student receives scholarship

Prestigious: Award totals $30,000
in scholarship money for grad school

By Emily Burton

conmautmc‘wmtrn

The I'K men's basketball team didn‘t take the
title of NCAA champions this season. but one l'K
student excelled at a different sport one involv~
ing the mind.

Jay .I. Yarellas lll won the prestigious Harry
S. Truman Scholarship. becoming the eighth I'K
student to receive this award, Varellas is one of 70
recipients nationwide of this 3:10.000 scholarship
named in honor of the late President Truman.

“(The scholarship) was very hard to apply for.
but there are a lot of faculty and staff who were
very helpful." \‘arellas said. "It was a collabora
tive process. There are a lot of great people on
campus. ljust got lucky."

Varellas was chosen out of .392 other candi-
dates from more than 300 colleges and universi-
ties around the nation.

Kate .lolinson. the academic cmrdinator of the
UK Honors Program. stressed the importance of
receiving the prestigious award.

“The competition is very fierce."
said.

A graduate of Sayre High School in Lexington.
\‘arellas is a history senior. After attending a
leadership development program in Liberty. Mo.
for a week in May. he will receive the scholarship
in a special ceremony at the Truman Library in
Independence. Mo. later in the month.

Johnson

Recipients of the Truman Scholarship must be
enrolled in a four-year university or college. Stu-
dents who are nominated have excellent academic
records and a commitment to a government ca-
reer or other leadership positions dedicated to
public service as well as a comprehensive back-
ground in public service.

Something \‘arellas knows all about.

His list of activities include Student Govern-
ment Association senator at large. the undergrad-
uate representative in the Presidential Search
Committee. a Leftist Student Union member and a
member of Kentuckians for the Commonwealth.

Despite it all. Varellas makes time for a per-
sonal life.

“l try to catch my little bro‘s soccer games
and I eat supper with my family on Sunday
nights. i always try to find time for my friends.
but it gets a bit hectic at times." he said.

As for the future. Varellas is keeping his op-
tions open.

“I might get a master‘s in political science or
social science. but I haven't decided yet."

()f the 330.000 scholarship he received. Varel-
las must use $3.000 for his senior year and the rest
for graduate studies. He will also receive priority
admission at respected graduate institutions and
even special internship opportunities with the
Federal Government.

\‘arellas said his parents. both who graduated
from the LR (‘ollege of Law. played a big part in
his career decisions.

“I was raised to have a critical vision of the
world." Varellas said.

“When I look around and see things wrong. I
just can‘t sit still."

possibilities, Grizzlies owner will take his team to Memphis

By lamin Swann

ASSISTANl NEWS EDITOR

(‘ardinal basketball is still there.

But NBA basketball won‘t be
not for now.

Louisville has been overlooked for the
second time in a year to bring a NBA team to
the city on the Ohio River after the Vancou-
ver Grizzlies owner Michael Heisley chose
Memphis ’l‘uesday to relocate his team.

The Grizzlies are the second NBA team
to turn down lmuisville. A less organized ef»
fort to lure the Houston Rockets collapsed
last November when voters there approval a
referendum to build a new arena.

Hours after Heisley snubbed Louisville
for Memphis on Monday. the NllA's (‘har-
lotte Hornets also applied for relocation
there.

“Obviously.

at least

both teams can't move to

the same city." lllum said. “Hut it doesn‘t al'
fect us. We're on the sidelines."

The Grizzlies appear to be the more like
ly team to end up in Memphis. 'l'he Hornets
want the option to move in case (‘liai‘lotte
voters reject a new $215 million downtown
arena in a referendum in June. corowner
Ray Wooldridge said.

With basketball so dominant in Ken
tucky. especially with [TK and the l'niversi-
ty of Louisville. many fans wonder ifa NBA
team could prosper in the state.

I’K undeclared freshman Adam Hurke
said a NBA teatn would be successful in the
state.

"Yes a team would be successful. be
cause Kentucky is a basketball state with
Kentucky (Wildcats) and Louisville ((‘ardi-
nalst." Burke said.

Jason Stith. a civil engineering fresh
man. said a NBA team would not be success-

unlike (‘hicago or Memphis. It‘s hard to lure
a team to LouisVille because Louisville
doesn‘t have an arena ready like Memphis
or New Orleans." Stith said.

the other cities in the running.

.l. Hruce Miller. the attorney who head-
ed Louisville's effort to lure the Grizzlies
said if Louisville already had a downtown
arena. lleisley‘s decision "wouldn't have
even been a contest."

A NBA relocation committee will be ap
pointed in a week to review both applica-
tions and make a recommendation to the
league‘s board of governors within four
months.
