”Since we had eight people with no experi-

The competition was based on a two-

Correction

Due to an editor's error, a brief ap-
pearing in Wednesday‘s Kernel con-
tained some incorrect information.

Referring to the decision by Franklin
Circuit Court Judge Ray Corns, the
brief should have said that 66 poorer
school districts are asserting that state
has not done its job. as madated by the
state constitution, in providing equal
funding.

Due to an editor's error, the band

Westhead says he’s interested in coaching the Wildcats

Hy ('HRIS HARVEY
Staff Writer

Loyola Marymount University men‘s
basketball coach Paul Westhead said he is
interested in becoming the next head
coach of UK. but he has not been contacted
by UK Athletics Director (1M. Newton
about the job.

”I haven't talked to (1M, so right now
I'm a non-participating factor," Westhead
said yesterday from his basketball office
in hos Angeles. “The. image that Kentucky
represents to me is all of what college has-
ketball is about. Anyone in the basketball
business has extra high regard, as I do, for
the school."

Newton would iiol coiiiinent yesterday on
Westhead‘s chances of becoming l'K's
next head coach. adding that he was still
searching for a successor to Eddie Sutton

Sutton, of course, resigned under pres-
sure March 19 m the wake of an NCAA in
vestigation into l’K's program.

Lute Olson, thought to be one of the top
candidates for the vacant coaching posi»
tion, signed a five-year contract Wednes-
day to remain head coach at the l'niversr
ty of Arizona.

Duke University coach Mike Kryzewski
and Los Angeles lakers‘ coach Pat Riley
already have said they have no interest in
the job.

Westhead is thought to be somewhere on
New ton's list

“l'in still in the preliminary stages.
Newton said "We're going to take our
time. We are itot going to be rushed]

Westhead said he has a lot of respect ioi
Newton.

“I've known ('M. for a Whllf‘, so I hau-
high regard for him.” Westhead said.

But Westhead said l'K will have to con
tact him if they want him tocoach.

“I‘m happy where I'm at. It's a terrific
spot for me," Westhead said. "l'ntil l have
some conversation with the l'niversity i
can't really say a whole lot about the situa
firm at Kentucky,"

Sixth-ranked Cats
face tough tests
in SEC title chase

By Kll’ m MMAR
Sta ff Writer

Kentucky's road to a South
eastern (‘onference tennis title
takes a harder turn as the sixth-
ranked Wildcats face two tough
tests this weekend

Today. the Wildcats, l5? over
all and 371 in the SEt'. tangle
with what t'K coach Dennis
Emery calls an "improved" Au
burn University team. which
has a 19-7 overall record. but is
just (l~2 in the league

Then it's off to Bayou country,
where UK faces Louisiana State
University, last year's SEC reg»
ular—season champion and
N( ‘AA tournament runner—up

“We're going to be hard
pressed to win the regular-sea
son title." Emery said. "We
have to play LSt' and (ieorgia

ranked 4th in the country: on
the road LSl' is in the driver's
seat because they’re undefeated
in league play and have already
beaten Georgia "

Revenge will be on the minds
oi the (‘ats when they take on
LSl'. 102 overall and 4-0 in the
conference

season tinale last year. both t'K
and LSt' were mi in the confer
ence,

The match was not decided
until the final set ot the liiial
match. which t'K lost 9-? iii a

won the championship

The stakes are equally high
tor the ('ats this year tor [K
to stay in contention for the SE('
regularrsruison title they need
both Victories this weekend

LSt' has continued its remark
able success mostly due to its
heart coach~ .lcri‘y Simmons,

 

who Emery said has molded the
Tigers into a tough squad.

"I think he‘s done a better job
this year than last because he
hasn‘t had as much talent
Emery said. ”He's done a good
job shuffling some transfer stu-
dents and some freshmen."

But before the (Tats tangle
with LStl. they must take on a
tough Auburn team.

Auburn‘s No. 1 player, lan
ltussell, was an SEC finalist last
season, Emery said. But the UK
coach said “they‘re tough all
the way down the line" from
their fourth seed to their sixth.

"With No. 4 (Matt Hewitti
being their toughest tspoti," he
said

Emery said this is Auburn‘s
best team since 19%, when the
Tigers won the SEC. ()ne of
their season highlights was an
upset of lSth-ranked San Diego
University

Two (lays after Auburn, the
(‘ats will have to face LSU

“They are very strong at the
trip of their line-up," Emery
said “They have three of the
top 17 players in the country.
While LSt' is not a real good
road team. they're very tough
at home "

The UK coach sees some keys
to success for the (Tats

"We have to get a really good
perlorrnance at tbottom posi-
tionsr." Emery said "We have
had a bad habit this year of
playing at the exact same level
as our opponents If they rUK's
oppoiientsi have played poorly,

with them and played them at
their level

Bat Cats
slip past
Western

By BARRY REEVES
Senior Staff Writer

The UK Bat Cats seemed to be
gearing up for their annual late-
season charge — at least for the
first half of the game — as they
beat Western Kentucky University
last night at Shively Field 8-6.

“Yeah. We looked very good in
the first five or six innings.“ UK
coach Keith Madison said. “But we
definitely didn‘t look very good the
last four innings. “

“I think it looks OK for us to go
on a run," UK shortsop Billy White
said. “We‘ve won two games in a
row and we have been playing bet
ter and better every day. In the
past, things have worked out in
late season and hopefully they will
again."

The Bat Cats jumped out to an
8—0 lead after four innings, but had
to hang on in the final innings as
the Hilltoppers scored six runs in
the late stages.

With the win, UK revenged an
earlier loss to Western this season
in Bowling Green, a 7—4 decision.
UK ran its record to 18-15-1 overall.
The Hilltoppers fell to 16-20.

“We jumped out early and were
playing like we can," Madison
said. “But I am very disappointed
in how we finished. It seemed like
we were satisfied once we got the
big lead."

UK freshman pitcher Larry
Luebbers looked almost invmcible
in the first six innings of the game
as he had a shutout on only four

hits entering the seventh. Lueb-
bers, who ran his record to 34), al-
lowed two runs in 6 1/3 innings.

“We got off to a good start offen-
sively, and with the weather so
nice, it was a lot of fun to pitch
today." Luebbers said. “It is a lot
easier to pitch when the weather is
as nice as it was today."

"Larry pitched a real fine game
today,“ the UK coach said. “He
has had an upAanddown season so
far, so maybe this will put him on
the right track personally. This
was his best game of the year. ”

The Bat (,‘ats jumped on the
scoreboard early when White hit a
solo home run in the bottom of the
first inning. White hit a 3-2 pitch
from (His Lewis over the right cen-
ter-field fence for his seventh home
run of the season

for the Indianapolis-based band
Exquisite Fashion,

And that is the philosophy the
band still follows, The foursome,

Once they play. however. one
automatically notices the band's

“We grew up listening to
MTV. A Flock (if Seagulls. The
P‘ixx and other early 8th new
wave.“ said Johnson.

The band benefitted most
from being from Indianapolis
where the music scene is very
competitive.

”There is a great under-21
scene. they have been very sup~
portive." Douglass said.

“The music scene in Indianap-
olis is pretty metal.” said Terry

dances will be accompanied by re-
cordings of traditional music.

The visit by the Ukrainian danc-
ers will provide a cultural and
learning experience for everyone
involved.

“We want the dancers to meet as
many people as posible so that the
cultural exchange takes place,"
Kruse said. "That‘s a big reason
for them coming. and of course
that‘s the reason that the Senate of
Soviet Initiatives is interested in
the project. Part of their goals re-
late to facilitating cultural ex-
changes so that regular Soviet peo-
ple and regular American people.
have a chance to meet each other. "

“I think this can be a really posi-
tive experience for everyone in-
volved. First of all. from the stu»
dents on through to the dancers
and every body involved in be-
tween." said L'K Russian instruc»
tor Bob Flynn, ”One of the under-
lying things you hope for is to
break down stereotypes and for

new wave and college rock
music sometimes has proved to
be an obstacle because most
clubs are reluctant about book
ing a dance band.

“The type of music we play is
hardest for breaking into the
club scene. But the clubs are
better clubs. You can play origi-
nal and dance music.” Johnson
said.

Exqutsite Fashion seems to
deserve the title of “The Mid»
west‘s Hottest College Rock
Band." Having already con»
quered the Midwestern college
circuit. the band would like to
eventually play in Chicago.

“In Chicago. our act would be
all-original. no covers." Johnson
said.

Life has been no bed oi roses
for the band.

“We actually played in bars
where they quit serving long»
neck Budweisers after a certain
time because they «the patronsr
would throw them at the band."
Johnson said.

“lf you start out rough. things
get easier as you go on." Doug
lass said.

For such a young band. the
group has accumulated an im
pressive list of credentials They
have opened for A Flock (if Sea-

Theater group ends season
with Simon’s ‘Biloxi Blues’

By ELIZABETH HAMMOND
Staff Critic

The UK Theatre began its season
finale last night with a bang and
quite a few chuckles as well. It is
often said in theater that comedy is
much more difficult to perform
than any other medium.

UK's cast did an excellent job of
pulling off the second in the Neil
Simon Brighton Beach Trilogy.
“Biloxi Blues.”

The play revolved around the
central character Eugene Morris
Jerome. played by Jett Reed (a
nary. and his comic. although
sometimes enlightening. adven-
tures in the army in Biloxi. Miss

Eugene discovers his sexuality.
the importance of dedicating one
self to a cause and the relevance of
having good friends to fall back
upon.

All of the performers gave a
good opening night. Two of the
more noticeable performances

were given by Eric Ross Lohman
who played Roy Selridge and Ron
Smith. playing Don Carney.

The character Selridge was often
the hightlight of the show and was
without pretense. His lines were

given well. but the characterization
of Selridge was excellent.

Smith also portrayed the humble
nerdiness of Carney to a tee. Both
characters were very amusing.

The show ran as smooth as could
be expected. The laughter was
spontaneous and regular in the
Gutgnol Theatre. The actors reac-
ted to the audience's approval and
continued with a delightful show.

      
   

     
 

The character Epstine. played by
Billy Breed. was a difficult one to
play. Epstine was the sombre char-
acter. often reminding the others of
honor in the real world. not only in
the Army.

He balanced the lightheartedness
of the other characters and still
kept the attention focused upon
himself. He had a riveting mono-
logue when he explained to Eugene
his trauma in the lavatory when
his head was dunked into the toilet
