leader

Many students said their knowledge of

Kennedy comes frorri what they haye
heard about him

“To me, he‘s parallel to Martin Luther
King tJl'J in how much we've heard about
him," said Susan Wood, a member of Stu
dent Development ('ouncil. "There were a
lot of new ideas and things he didn't get to

“He must have been a good president

He was very popular," said Jori Wollmrn.

“I think that his death had air impact on
everyone" Sears said ‘lt wasn‘t irist

something they heard about on the radio
but actually saw it "

Brett Bellomy, an organizational conr
municatioiis senior. said Kennedy was the
last of the famous presidents.

Cats hope to avoid losses,
frostbite in Alaska Shootout

By 1‘th SPALIDING
Sports Editor

Kentucky got a cold reception
trom Duke UniverSity last week.
and chances are UK won‘t get any
thing less than an icy reception
from opposing tea ms

Fortunately for Eddie Sutton and
the UK basketball team. the Wild
cats‘ trip to the Great Alaska
Shootout doesn't feature any
Dukes

But to a young Wildcat learn. any
field is tough.

"It‘s good enough. as far as we
are concerned.” Sutton said )i‘slt‘l‘v
day

l‘K. 0-1, is one of eight teams
playing in the threeday tourna-
ment that begins Friday

lti first-round games. l'K will
tace the Iona College Gaels Big
East conference representative
Setoti Hall University will battle
the t'niversity of t'tah. Southeast
ern Conference rival University of
Florida takes on the l'niversity ot
(‘alitornia and defending NCAA
champion Kansas t'iiiversity plays
host l'niversity of Alaska
\iichorage

"The Alaska Shootout field is out
standing, as always.” Sutton said
’They have the SEC. Big Eight.
Pac lit and Big East all rep
resented ttbviously. the tourna
riient w ill tiaye a strong field

Sutton called Florida a team
which is picked among the top two

to win the SEC. the best team “on
paper "

He also added a Danny Manning-
less Kansas ballclub and Utah to
the list of possible contenders.

"it allows us to play three games
against good competition." Sutton
said

Meanwhile. Sutton said his team
must focus on Iona. a team with
many similarities to I'K'

- lona‘s lineup for the opener
lists two seniors with a combined
average of Just more than 12
points. and also two freshmen and
a sophomore

' Iona is a team like ours in that
they are young." Sutton said.

“The experience we‘re going to

put out there is a concern," said
Iona coach Gary Brokaw. “The
most important thing for us to do is
to come out and play hard."

. Iona, like the Wildcats. are
without some of their best players.
UK guard Eric Manuel is in limbo
until he's proven innocent by
NCAA officials. UK‘s top point
guard. Sean Sutton, is still ques-
tionable because of a broken cheek~
bone. But the elder Sutton indi-
cated he would “spot play” his son
if ready.

Iona‘s Glenn Grant, Nestor
Payne and Joey Johnson have been
suspended for the UK game for
playing in a summer league that
was not sanctioned with the NCAA,
apparently after the commissioner
of the summer league had told the
players (40 in all) it was sanc~
tioned. even though it wasn‘t.

Brokaw said Payne and Grant
were the Gaels’ “leaders" and that
Johnson was a strong contributor
off the bench,

Sutton said L‘K isn‘t getting out
the crying towel for Iona.

“I think our guys deserve a
break. but l don‘t wish bad luck on
anybody." Sutton said

The most obvious difference in
the two clubs is speed The Gaels
like to run all over the court for 40
minutes, CK likes the halfcourt
game. One Will have to give.

"They like to run at every oppor—
tunity.” Sutton said

Jerry Claiborne. his staff and the

Even though the Cats finished
with a losing season. there were a

Claiborne's team did not give up
this year after losing a tough game
to a top team like they have in the
past.

The Cats did not give up once
this year They battled every team
to the wire every week. despite
having the opportunity to give up

The Cats showed people around
the SEC and the nation that they
could play with ”the big boys“

couple games a season

At the start of the season. tew
gave CK a chance at winning five
games this season, The Cats won

five games and should have won a
few more The UK football team
was about five plays and a couple
of breaks away from going to a

t'K teams featured something

line The Wildcats were setting
themselves up for a run at the SEC
next season

With the loss of only three start—
ers on defense and four on offense.
look for the 1989 football Wildcats

to explode and win eight, nine or 10
games and go to a major bowl.

GIVE JERRY CLAIBORNE a
new contract. With what he accom—
plished this season, he deserves it.

Claiborne has brought the UK
football program back to respect-
ability. around the country. on the
field as well as off the field. The
college athletic world would be
much better off if there were a lot
more Jerry Claibornes.

It will be very difficult for the
coach to go out on the recruiting
trail with only a one-year contract

Administration sees growth next year

By MARTIN (‘th’l‘SINGl-IR
Associated Press

WASHINGTON * The Reagan
administration issued its final eco—
nomic forecast yesterday, opti-
mistically predicting that the econ-
omy will expand at a robust 3.5
percent annual rate next year.

However. private economists
said the projection was far too rosy
and would spell big headaches for
Presidentelect George Bush in his
efforts to reduce the federal budget
deficit.

The administration also was opti-
mistic on the outlook for inflation,
predicting it would ease next year.
The forecast also said interest
rates, which have shot up recently
because of inflationary fears,

Wilkinson will not appeal the Corns

.\ssocialed Press

FRANKFURT, Ky. Gov. Wal—
lace Wilkinson says he agreed with
the Franklin (Iircuit Court decision
that Kentucky's schools are uncon-
stitutionally financed and he will
not join an appeal of the ruling.

Legislative defendants in the
lawsuit have already appealed the
decision. and the Supreme (‘ourt
will hear oral arguments in the
case on Dec. 7.

Wilkinson also said Monday he
had not ruled out a special legisv
lative session on education in Jan-
uary. though he added he would not
call one “if we can't accomplish
something,"

Earlier this year, Wilkinson said
he would call a special legislative
session in January to discuss edu-
cation But Wilkinson. legislators
and education advocates in the
state have recently begun more
discussions and have not agreed on
what steps should be taken to tin-
pron-schools

In October. Judge Ray (‘orns
ruled in f'ayor of a group of 66
mostly rural school districts that
alleged lll a lawsun that the state

would drop as well. Both of the as-
sumptions are disputed by private
economists

The economic forecast provides
the underpinning for the adminis-
tration’s estimate on government
spending and revenues and the
shortfall between the two — the
budget deficit.

The administration often has
been criticized for basing its bud-
get estimates on rosy scenarios,
only to see the deficit swell far
higher when the optimistic growth
