Burnette, others
file innoncent pleas
on theft charges

By MARK R. CHELLGREN
Associated Press

FRANKFURT, Ky. — State Agri-
culture Commissioner Ward
“Butch" Burnette and a group of
co—defendants pleaded innocent to
theft charges yesterday during a
brief appearance in Franklin Cir-
cuit Court.

Burnette declined to answer
questions about his legal predica-
ment, but his attorney said that
Burnette would be vindicated.

“I assure you that my client is
innocent of this charge and when
the trial occurs, you'll find out,
you‘ll see,“ said Lexington lawyer
James Shuffett.

Judge William Graham allowed
all of the defendants to remain free
on their own recognizance and
gave attorneys additional time to
file motions. No further proceed-
ings were scheduled.

The theft charge alleged that
Burnette and three others con-
spired to have the state pay for a
pair of charter airplane trips he
took in December 1987, a few
weeks before assuming office.

Burnette also was charged with
complicity to commit theft for al-
legedly going along with a scheme
by an Agriculture Department em-
ployee to submit false time sheets
for work she did not perform.

One indictment named Burnette,
his chief aide J .D. Wolf, Bruce
Harper, who was manager of Gov.
Wallace Wilkinson’s Mercer County
farm operation, and John Kelly, a
Finance Cabinet official who
worked for Wilkinson during the
1987 campaign.

If convicted, Burnette would not
automatically lose his office.

The other three also pleaded in-
nocent and remained free on their
own recognizance.

Student takes big step
in helping his career

By CHARLES McCUE
Assistant Arts Editor

"One small step for a man, one
giant leap for mankind.“ Those
were the words of Neil Armstrong
while he was making history as the
first man to walk on the moon.

Rick Cary, a group commander
for UK‘s Reserve Officer Training
Corps, made one small significant
step of his own last summer.

Cary participated in the six-week
Professional Development Pro-
gram designed for junior and se-
nior cadets to get a head start on
their military careers. While he
was there, Cary had the chance to
meet Armstrong and other astro-
nauts from around the world.

After an intense selection proc—
ess, (‘ary and 39 other cadets in the
nation were chosen. Cary was the
only cadet from the UK ROTC pro-
gram chosen to participate.

Cary. who is interested in the
US. space program. worked with
the Strategic Defense Initiative Or-
ganization. which is developing the
anti-missile defense, popularly
known as “Star Wars."

“I think space is where the fu—
ture is in this country," Cary said.
“Every day there is more and
more stuff to be tracked."

SDIO. a division of the US. De-
partment of Defense, is a purple
heart service in which personnel
from all the armed forces are in-
volved in the program.

Cary spent most of his time in
the Pentagon, where the SDIO of-
fices are located.

While at the Pentagon, Cary
worked in the contracting and key
technical offices. He also visited
naval research laboratories.

“It gave me a good cross-section
of how the Pentagon ran," he said.
“I have a specific interest in the
space program. and I became fa-
miliar with the people affiliated
with the National Space Program."

While in Washington. DC, Cary
attended an invitationonly recep—
tion commemorating the Apollo 11
space mission. Among those at-
tending the reception were Apollo
11 astronauts Neil Armstrong and
Buzz Aldrin, and several Soviet
cosmonauts,

“One of the most interesting peo—
ple I met was Maj. Gen, Leonov.
who is head of the Soviet space
program," Cary said “Leonov was
the first man to actually walk in
space. While we were talking. he
told Col. Warden that ‘We were the
future of the space program.‘ The
colonel later joked that we might
end up on the front page of Pravda.
The experience was very reward-
ing career-wise,“ he said. “It gave
me an inside look at the space pro-
gram, of SDIO and the research
operations. I feel privileged be-
cause not a lot of cadets get to do
what I did. The experience . . . was
a once-in-a-lifetime thing."

Baesler and

By ROBYN WALTERS
Contributing Writer

In an effort to better under-
stand the plight of the homeless,
Lexington Mayor Scotty Baesler
and Councilwoman Debra
Hensley spent Wednesday night
as homeless people.

Hensley, who chairs the may-
or‘s task force on homelessness,
stayed with Baesler on the
streets from 6 pm. until 9:30
am. yesterday as part of a doc-
umentary on the homeless that
will be broadcast in November.

Baesler could not be reached
for comment yesterday, but
Hensley said her experience
helped her better understand
the homeless problem in Lexing-
ton.

“We did not do this to exploit
the homeless or to make a polit-
ical event out of it," Hensley
said. “It was learning perspec-
tive of what some do every
day."

Henlsey

Baesler and Hensley stayed

on the streets for a docu
mentary for the Troubadour
Project, which is designed to
raise money for the homeless.

The Troubadour Project is
using the song “Mountain“ to
raise money for area charities
that help the homeless.

Michael Johnathon, the pro-
ject‘s founder, said he was glad
Baesler and Hensley agreed to
do the documentary.

“The two people in Central
Kentucky with the most influ-
ence in decisiommaking on the
homeless finally got to go
through it," Johnathon said.

The two officials walked
around town, stood in line for
food, and slept at the Salvation
Army Emergency Shelter for
the homeless.

saw because I was aware of the

By ALLEN I). (iREl-IR

Efforts to form l'K's tirst aboi

night in a preliminary meeting that
attracted about 25 [K students and
faculty members.

The non-profit organization is dc

The group was formed as "a re

that these rights are in danger.“
said Kakie Urch, a journalism and

The group will serve as a cam-

San Francisco won’t repeat,
Bills, Vikings in Super Bowl

The final NFL season of the
1980‘s begins tomorrow without a
dominant team staking a claim as
the team to beat.

The San Francisco 49er's, de-
fending Super Bowl champions,
won‘t be able to repeat because ev-
eryone will be gunning for them.

Here‘s a division-by-division
break down of the upcoming NFL
season,

AFC East

Buffalo's defense will keep of
them on top, but a lack of a run
ning game c0uld keep them from
winning the Super Bowl. Eric Dick-
erson may be all-world. but none of
lndianapolis' quarterbacks are all-
state. They have the talent to take
second place over New England
and New York Jets. New England
and New York have a knack of los-
ing games they should win.

AFC Central
Cincinnati has the personnel to
stay on top of the NFL's toughest
division. Houston has the Moon. but
the lack of depth because of Plan B
free agency could bring them back
to earth. Cleveland traded away
one of their two quality running
backs. Then the other was arrested
on drug charges and will miss at

least the first four games

 

. Kn
._ BOWMAR

$1?!

AFC West

Seattle will win division provided
quarterback Dave Krieg is consis—
tent. Playing in pro football's wea-
kest division doesn't hurt them ei-
ther. Los Angeles has a wealth of
talent, but they also have a number
of injuries and question marks. San
Diego will improve from fifth to
third with the addition of Jim Mc-
Mahon.

NFC East

Washington will prevail because
they made smart off-season acquis-
tions and seem to be healthy head-
ing into the season. Philadelphia
has a number of impact players,
but they don't have the offensive
line to keep quarterback Randall
Cunningham healthy all season.
The New York Giants are getting
old and needs to replace too many
key people. The loss of running
back Joe Morris for the season will
really hurt.

NFC Central

This is the year Minnesota finally
conquers its divisional rival Chi-
cago. The trading of McMahon by
Chicago was a mistake because he
added an intangible element to the
team. Both of these teams, howev-
er, will make the playoffs because
of a built-in cushion; each team
gets to play a total of six games
against Green Bay, Tampa Bayand
Detroit.

NFC West

San Francisco may be getting
old, but they still have the best all-
around quality at the skill positions
of quarterback, wide receiver and
running back. hos Angeles is
loaded with fire power but doesn‘t
have a great running back or pass
rusher. New Orleans has the unen-
viable position of playing in a divi-
sion with two of the NFL’s best
teams.

NFC Playoffs:

Title: Minnesota 24, Washington
17.
AFC Playoffs:

Chapman and Walker‘to appear
at tonight’s Wheelcat exhibition

By TOBY GIBBS
Contributing Writer

The UK Wheelcats will play a
team of officers from the Lexing-
ton-Fayette Urban County Drug
Abuse Resistance Education in a
charity basketball game tonight at
Memorial Coliseum.

The 7 pm. game will feature the
10 members of the Wheelcats and
23 members of the DARE force.

During halftime, former UK bas-
ketball stars Rex Chapman and
Kenny Walker will participate in a
slamdunk contest,

“Kenny and l are good friends.

and I am looking forward to the
slam-dunk competition,“ Chapman
said. “We hope a lot of people
come out to help the Wheelcats.

UK basketball coaches Rick Piti-
no and Sharon Fanning and their
teams will be at the game to hand
out T-shirts and bumper stickers
that feature anti-drug messages.

Wheelcat Mike Paulus said he
hopes tonight's game will let peo-
ple know more about both groups
and make them aware of drug
abuse.

Most of the money raised tonight
will go to the Wheelcats and the

rest will go to the DARE force,
Paulus said.

The Wheelcats are entering their
15th season of competition. They
posted a 25-5 record last season
and were undefeated in their con-
ference.

The DARE force is a division of
the Lexington-Fayette Urban Coun-
ty Government designed to educate
students about the dangers of drug
abuse.

Tickets, which can be purchased
at Kentucky Fried Chicken restau-
rants, cost $2 for adults and $1 for
children under 17. Tickets also can
be purchased at the door.

Wildcats ready to ‘rock and roll’

Continued from Page I

eye. “And as far as I am con-
cerned, we will kick their ass."

Last year‘s game was more
than a loss to some of the UK
players, because lU scored a
touchdown on the last play of the
game when it could have run the
clock out and settled for a 28—15
victory.

“I don't hold a grudge, but
there was no reason for them to
score on that last play. No rea-
son," said Gardner, a (H, 235-
pound senior.

And when Mallory was asked
about his decision to go for the
touchdown, he side—stepped the
issue.

”It was a situation where a
team had taken the ball down the
field and put it into the end-
zone," said Mallory, sounding
like a politician. “It will always
be a big rivalry between these
two teams."

Enough politics. The game will
be won on the grass at Common}
wealth Stadium, not in the
media. Both teams have plenty
to worry about concerning the
game.

The UK coaching staff is most
concerned with how to stop IU‘s
senior quarterback Dave Schnell,
who passed for 190 yards and two
touchdowns in last season's UK
game, and Big 10 Player of the
Year Anthony Thompson, who
ran for 166 yards and two touch-
downs.

“People talk about their losses.
but they have seven seniors
starting on their offense, so they
are not inexperienced in age,“
Claiborne said. “Thompson was
the Big 10‘s Player of the Year
and Schnell had an All-Confer-
ence type year last year, so we
have to stop them if we are going
towin."

Thompson, a Heisman Trophy
candidate. ran for 1,546 yards as
a junior.

“Anthony Thompson has done
it all," UK outside linebacker
Jeff Brady said. “He‘s big,
strong and fast. We have to con-
tain him if we are to win. We
have to push him back instead of
letting him go forward.“

Gardner, who played against
him the last two years, said,
“We can't let him run wild like

Freshman Kurt Johnson returns a kick during a recent UK
scrimmage. UK faces Indiana tomorrow in its season-opener.

he did last year. We have to con-
tain him because he is the key to
their entire offense. If he gets
going, it will Open up their pass»
ing game.“

Schnell completed 53.1 percent
of his passes last season for 1,499
yards. Claiborne said Schnell‘s
biggest attribution is his mobili-
ty.

“We need to stay in our rush-
ing lanes," the UK coach said.
“He can throw well off the run
and he runs the ball well also.
(His mobility) was a big factor
inlast year’s game."

“He really ate us up last
year," Gardner said of the IU
quarterback. “Schnell had a
great game last year because we
had a lot of busted assignments.
We lost containment and let him
out of the pocket, and he made
uspay."

UK sophomore quarterback
Freddie Maggard, who is making
his first start in a college game,
may find this Indiana defense a
little more forgiving than last
year‘s. Indiana returns only one
starter — cornerback Mike
Dumas — from last year's de-
tense.

it!

After a 3lg-year hiatus from re-
cording, the Rolling Stones went
into Olympic studios in London to
make one of their best albums ear-
lier this year,

The Stones, who normally take
up to )8 months to make an album.
completed “Steel Wheels“ in a six-
month stretch.

They are much tighter as a unit
and are focussed on the music it-
self.

That tightness is evident on
”Mixed emotions." where Mick
Jagger's vocals blend in well with
the guitars of Ron Wood and Keith
Richards.

The lyrics could refer as much to
the uneasiness between Jagger and
Richards as anything else: “You’re

tions, you're not the only ship a-

But the best song on Side 1 isn‘t
“Mixed Emotions." “Hearts For
Sale“ has the power of the Stones’
tunes from the early 19705 with a
catchy guitar rift

Side 2 is just as strong as the
first, which has three good tunes.

VIEWPOINT

US. can help itself
by aiding the Poles

“Freedom suppressed and re»
gained bites with deeper fangs than
freedon never endangered. "

Cicero

In the last few weeks the people
of Poland have regained that elu-
sive political freedom which evapo
rated over 40 years ago with the
end of World War 11.

Poland‘s communist party faced
with a grave economic and poiliti-
cal situation turned to the once out-
lawed Solidarity party to help lead
the government.

The seed of freedom was first
planted over nine years ago in 1980
with the signing of the accord
which formed Solidarity, the first
independent trade union in a com-
munist country, in Gdansk.

Although Solidarity was banned
in 1981 by the Polish Communist
Party, founder Lech Walesa and
others continued to press for work-
ers rights and political freedoms.
Walesa‘s non-violent efforts earned
him the Nobel Peace Prize in 1983.

But what has helped the winds of
democracy reach Poland. has been
Mikhail Gorbachev‘s policies of
“Glasnost” and “Peristroika”.
Gorbachev urged for change and
reform not only in the Soviet Union
but other communist countries as
well.

Poland followed Gorbachev‘s
lead and offered limited elections
in May. The party stacked the deck
to guarantee they would keep
power even if they lost every seat.
And that nearly happened.

The people voiced their frustra—
tion with the government by hand-
ing the communist party a stun-
ning defeat on every level.

After some arguing it was agreed
that Solidarity member Tadeusz
Mazowiecki would become the Pre~
mier of the new government.

But Solidarity's victory could be
short lived. One of the reasons Po-
land’s ruling party went silently
into the night was the staggeringly
pathetic condition of their econ-
omy.

Poland has one of the largest for-
eign debts of any Warsaw Pact
country ($39 billion and growing)

and faces critical shortages in al-
most all foods.

If the new Solidarity-led govern-
ment can‘t produce results within
the first year the communists may
take over again, as if to say “We
told you so."

When President Bush visited Po-
land, Walesa asked for $10 billion
in foreign aid. Upon returning to
America the president countered
with an offer of $100 million, exact-
ly 1% of what Walesa asked for.

There is bipartisan support in
Congress for increased aid for P0-
land. Minority Senate Leader Bob
Dole (R‘KanJ and Majority Senate
Leader George Mitchell (D-Maine)
have visited Poland and are seek‘
ing more than the $100 million.

Although most Americans are op
posed to tax increases in any form,
America would derive many bene-
fits from aiding Poland. Private
capital. however, could help fit the
bill and so could a slight reduction
in some overly expensive weapons
systems. such as the Stealth Bomb—
er,

oAn open and economically sta~
ble Poland would be a good trading
partner for the US. It could help
reduce the l'.S.'s staggering trade
deficit.

Olt could pave the way for simi~
lar transfers of power in other
communist countries.

-Help reduce the tensions be-
tween East and West and allow the
US. to spend less of it’s defense
budget in Western Europe, where
approximately 50% of the defense
budget goes.

While the US. would be reaching
out to help Poland. it would also be
aiding its‘ own cause.
