the soroi'ity's toundat ion chairman.

The fund for Whalen. who joined the
sorority iii I987. is a special focus for the
sorority

The 20-year old t'K _]llllltll‘ was killed in

passenger in the car driven by former UK

the side of the road. (the UK student was
seriously injured in the accident.

Record-breaking Gym Kats on a roll

By (‘HRIS HARVEY
Staff Writer

If there is a such thing as a
moral victory, the Gym Kats per-
formed their way to a moral vic-
tory last weekend in a dual meet
against Louisiana State University
in Baton Rouge, La.

UK coach Leah Little‘s squad
lost the meet, 19125-1888, but did
come away with some unexpected
record-shattering performances,

“Gomg in, we just wanted to sur.
yive,” assistant coach Jeff
Thompson said, “A number of girls
did the best routines of their life. "

The Gym Kats‘ first record per-
formance of the day was turned in
by freshman Amie Winn. Winn
broke the UK record for uneven
bars by posting a 9.7.

Winn also scored an impressive
mind-boggling 38.50 for the all-
around, which broke the old mark
of 38,10 that was set earlier in the
meet by UK senior Cindy Jasper.

“A 38 all-around average is like
scoring 30 points in basketball."
Thompson said “Winn is one of the
top girls igymnastsi in the coun~
try.”

Although her performances
weren‘t of the magnitude of
Winn's. Jasper had an equally good
meet. Jasper, a Lexington native,
scored a career—high 38.10 in the
all-around. She also scored career

highs on the uneven bars i9.5i,
floor (9.6) and balance beam i9.6l.
while finishing second on the beam.

“We got an outstanding perfor
mance from Cindy,“ Thompson
said. “Her score was at least two
points higher than her previous
best."

In all, the Wildcats had 16 ca-
reer-high performances to go along
with six school records.

In addition to setting records. the
Kats may have returned with
something even more important ~
confidence. The team has been
lacking confidence since it experi»
enced a rash of quirkish injuries.

“We definitely gained confi-
dence.“ Jasper said. “We per-
formed more like a team."

The Kats (2—4) are hoping the
LSU meet will mean bigger and
better things for them as they take
on the University of New Hamp-
shire i7-3i and Bowling Green
State University (46) in a tri-meet
at 7:30 tonight in Memorial Col»
iscum.

New Hampshire is led by senior
Lori Brady, who scored highs in
the vault and all-around at Ver-
mont last weekend.

Bowling Green, despite their los~
ing record, is currently on a three»
match winning streak.

“If we do our routines like we did
them at LSU, then everything
:hould fall into place." L'K assis-

tant coach Brad Wunderlich said.
”We need to maintain that level. I
think that we’re really starting to
peak.“

Consistency is something
Wunderlich felt was coming all
along.

“I've been expecting it all year,"
he said. “When people are trying
hard and things are going bad, you
know that when things go good that
you'll have some exceptional per-
f ormances . ‘ ‘

Against New Hampshire and
Bowling Green, the Kats probably
won't have to pull off another re»
cord-setting performance to come
away a winner tonight, Wunderlich
said.

“They (Friday‘s opponents) have

good talent, but they aren’t as
strong as teams in the SEC,” he
said. “We just need to perform our
routines. We can't control how the
other team performs, but we can
control ours. ”

Improvement is necessary, if the
Kats look to do well in the SEC
tournament, Wunderlich said.

“We can improve a lot. We can
still get a higher score here and
there, “ he said.

In the SEC tournament, the Kats
will be competing against perenni.
al heavyweights — Alabama, Flor-
ida, Georgia and LSU —all of
whom are ranked ahead of UK in
the SEC.

Boeheim’s roster includes two
top All-American candidates —
Sherman Douglas and Derrick
Coleman.

Douglas, a (H) senior, is con-
sidered by many as the best
point guard in college basket-
ball. Douglas is averaging 18.1
points and 8.8 assists per game.

06408901“D0uglas is a great
point guard," Sutton said. “He
throws the alleyoop better than
anybody I've ever seen.

“Sherman Douglas has had as
good of a year as he‘s ever had

for us, and he's had two great
seasons before,“ Boeheim said.
“He’s going to become our all-
time leading scorer and set the
assists record for the nation
within the next two games or so.

“When he’s (Sherman )
healthy, he‘s as fine a point
guard as I‘ve ever seen," he
said. “When he’s not been
healthy this year, we‘ve had
problems winning. "

In mid-January, the Orange—
men ran into some trouble when
Douglas‘ playing time was se-
verely limited by a leg injury.

Wrocklage dragging in
Scruffy The Cat show

By J0[)l WHITAKER
Staff Writer

It was noon last Friday. Charlie
had just gotten up and thrown
some ”stuff“ in pots on the stove.

“Excuse me,“ he said as he put
down the phone and went to turn
off the stove. I asked if I should
call back later and give him time
to eat. “No, that’s OK,” he said. “I
don‘t think it matters whether
charred food is hot or cold."

Such is the life of Charlie Ches-
terman. lead singer and “some-
times guitarist“ of Scruffy The
Cat, the day after returning from a
week on the road.

That week on the road was just
the beginning of a tour that will
take the band to nightclubs and a
few universities east of the Missis-
sippi through June or July. Tomor-
row night, the tour will make a
stop here in Lexington at the
Wrocklage.

Throughout the tour, Scruffy will
be promoting their latest album,
Moons of Jupiter, released last fall
on Relativity records.

Moons of Jupiter, the fourth re—
lease from the Boston—based band,
was recorded in Memphis, Tenn.,
at Ardent Studios in a mere 11 days
under the production of Replace-
ments producer Jim Dickinson.

()ne of Chesterman‘s favorite
stops from previous tours was
Sudsy Malonc's Laundrymat and
Bar in Cincinnati.

“It's one of the greatest concepts
cvcr." (Ihesterman said of being
able to do laundry and sec a live
band at the same timc.

So what brings these guys to ch~
ington‘.’ Why the Wrocklagc‘.’

“Someone obviously wants to see
us play there,“ Chesterman said.
“We'd set up in someone‘s living
room if they wanted us to.“

Not that they would have timc, ot
coursc. After the tour, the band

Woods saves ‘

Hy DAWN FEI.I(‘I('('III.»\
Contributing Critic

The energy and believability of
.lamcs Woods‘ performance saves
”Truc Believer" from becoming
just another formula thriller.

In the film. Woods plays Eddie
Dodd, a brilliant trial lawyer and
one-time champion of civil liberties
who has lost his idealism and sold
out for a lucrative specialization in
drug law.

Now under pressure from Roger
Baron, his idealistic young law
clerk (Robert Downey Jr». Eddie
takes a murder case, a Korean
convict who has just killed a fellow
inmate but claims he‘s doing time
for a murder he didn‘t commit.
Though cynical at first, Eddie
begins to believe his client is
innocent. Soon, proving this in
court becomes his lastditch effort
to regain his own passion and be-
lief in justice and the law.

Though we never doubt that
Eddie will win his case. Wrxxls‘
performance saves this plot prcm~
ise from seeming overly corny.

“Maybe we'll just go to the

beach a lot," (‘hestcrman said.

Scruffy The (fat was lormed five
years ago in Boston. the brainchild
of Chestcrman and bassist Mac
Paul Stanfield. The two left their
homes in Iowa to venture to the
town (,‘hesterman considers to have
“one of the best music scenes in
