UMass, ll
wagering

By Gary Wuli
StaflI/Vriter

When UK Assistant Professor
Art Goldman woke u this mom-
ing and preppred for is account—
ing classes, e was inspired by all
the talk about the rematch
between UMass and UK and
decided to send a blind fax to
UMass’ School of Accountancy.

In Goldman’s letter he said:
“We realize your accounting ro-
gram is excellent, but our as-

etball team just cant do itll
(Weak Guardslll)”

Later, that morning UMass
Accounting and Informations
Systems Professor Dennis Hanno
walked in his office and noticed
the fax.

“My first reaction was that
someone was probably asking for
tickets,” Hanno said. “When I
read it, I quickly showed it to the
dean and got ermission to go
ahead with the t.”

The original bet asked the
winner to ship the loser a T—shirt
of the op osing team and wear it
in class l3» one full week. Fur—
thermore, the loser must reim-
burse the winner for the shirt,
including shipping and handling.

The point spread is nullified in
the deal.

Hanno then answered the fax
and raised the stakes.

“The meager stakes you 511 -
gest seem to indicate that you 0

we beat them once and we can
beat them again,” Hanno said.

Being no basketball expert, but
a UMass fan, Hanno was offend-
ed b the mention of “weak
guar s.” Hanno mentioned that
many of the guards have taken
many accountin courses and did
very well in t e introductory
course.

“Every game, who comes
through for us? The guards!"
Hanno said.

In Hanno’s return letter he
mentioned UK coach Rick Pitino

According to Hanno, students
are being a proached for tickets
in the midd e of campus.

One student bought four tick-

them for $4,000 apiece. He took
his $16,000 and bought a new car.

Another student at UMass was
ap roached by an outsider that

Unlike most students, this stu—
dent refused the money saying:

“I’ve waited four years for this

Former governor
given a hand and
a wooden chair

By James Ritchie
StafflVriter

Former Kentucky Gov. Edward T. Breathitt left
the Student Center yesterday with a chair.

Omicron Delta Kappa presented Breathitt with
the Chair of Leadership Award in recognition of his
service to UK and the state of Kentucky.

The award was in the form of an actual wooden
chair.

In a short speech, Breathitt described UK. as a
unifying element for Kentucky, connecting people
of different races, religions and economic back-
grounds.

He said that students and recent graduates should
fight to preserve and improve higher education.

He also said that the current legislative session
has been unins irin r in terms of potential benefits
for UK so far, but t at UK has done as well as any
other school at the session.

He said that UK’s prospects at the session were
good.

An important factor in UK's attempts to receive
better funding is voter and community support,
Breathitt said.

lflegislators see that UK has a great deal of voter
support they will be more likely to fund the school,
he said.

One of the most im )ortant ways to develop and
retain this support is through the community col~

M.I. King display gives lllllll at black III'BSS ill America

 

By Daniel Souder
Staff Writer

Located in the Margaret I. King
Library North’s Peal Gallery, where
the special collections are held, is a
slice of histo that highlights the
achievements o the black ress.

The focus is on periodicals, dating
from the Civil War and Reconstruc—
tion, written by black writers for the
black public.

These include such publications as
The Miami Times, Omaha Star and
Chicago Weekend.

The exhibit is the brainchild of UK
professor of sociolo , Doris Wilkin-
Son. She was assiste y William Mar-
shall, director of Special Collections
and Archives.

“She has done a number of exhibits
that portray the African-American role
in American society,” Marshall said.

Newspaper clip in magazine
covers, headlines andeo itical cartoons
are displayed in loss showcases.

The layout shows the evolution of
the black struggle for recognition and
acceptance in society.

“ he black press becomes a very
active participant in what becomes the
civil rights movement,” Marshall said.

One article from The Gazette has a
headline that screams

“Fire Du-bois From Editorship.” It
concerns W.E.B. Dubois, a respected

 

black leader of the late 19th century.

At the time, Dubois was editor of
the Crisis.

The uproar arose from concerned
blacks who disliked him for “back-slid-
ing, accepting segregation and joining
Jim Crow Negroes."

Another publication, The Bee, cele—
brates the 20th anniversary of the
Emancipation Proclamation.

The Bee proclaimed it “the grand—
est event in the history of the colored
man.” Frederick Douglass was the
guest of honor at the ceremony.

Martin Luther Kin Jr.’s famous
speech to 250,000 peopFe in Washing-
ton, D.C., was covered in the Pitts-
burgh Courier under the banner “I
Have A Dream Today!”

The black press has historically
been Izizss nests-oriented 21d more con-
cerne wit re rtin t e stru les
faced by blacks. pO 8 gg

“These are the newspapers that had
a point of view and a purpose,” Mar-
shall said.

Besides historic articles, the exhibit
also features a number of photographs.

The accompanying aerial picture to
the article on Kin resembles the
scene of the peace demonstration in
the movie Fonts: Camp.

Another photo depicts US.
Olympic Sprinters Tommie Smith and

John Carlos.

um with their medals draped over their
necks, both men raise their fists in the

Controversy arose when they were

lack magazines are also given atten—

tion.

Colin Powell made the cover of

Elton ’s 50th anniversary issue. Upon
his eath in 1990, Jet declared Sammy
Davis, Jr. the world’s greatest enter-
tainer.

Both Ebony and jet were founded
by John H. Johnson.

The exhibit will run through mid-
April.

[HD1111] Rabin assassin
given prison sentence

TEL AVIV, Israel — Even as guards hauled him
away to a life behind bars, convicted assassin Yigal
Ainir showed no remorse about gunning down
Israel's prime minister.

The 25-year-old former law student told the Tel
Aviv court in his final statement yesterday that
Rabin had to be killed because his efforts to make
peace by giving up land to the Arabs were a calami-
ty for the Jews.

“Everything1 did, I did for God, for the Torah
of Israel, the people of Israel and the land of
Israel," Ainir said. He dismissed the three—month
proceedings as a show trial and told Judge Edmond
Levy: “May God help you.”

The three-judge panel convicted Amir and
ordered the maximum sentence — life in prison for
murdering Rabin, as well as six years for wounding
his bodyguard.

m America ill-prepared ior attack

\VASHINGTON — America is ill—prepared to
cope with the explosion ofa chemical, biological or
nuclear weapon by terrorists, a Senate committee
reported yesterday. Equipment and training defi~
ciencies are aggravated by bureaucratic turf wars, it
found.

“It is not a matter of‘iF but rather ‘when' such
an event will occur," the Permanent Subcommittee
on Investigations said. “Many of the terrorist
groups of today appear more likely to utilize
weapons ofmass destruction."

The re ort, written by the committee's Demo-
cratic staff at the direction of Sen. Sam Nunn of
Georgia, said terrorists have a wide choice of
weaponry.

As examples, it cited the World Trade Center
bombing, in which terrorists used sodium cyanide
in an attempt to kill everyone in the north tower,
the Tokyo subway gassing, the Oklahoma City fed—
eral buildin bombin and the availability of nucle-
ar material om the Sinner Soviet Union.

clinton wants accountability in BlillCllllllI

PALISADES, N.Y. — As President Clinton
complained about giving students “free asses” to
the next grade, the nation‘s governors ended a two-
day education summit yesterday with a pledge to
set tough academic standards in their states.

Clinton said students, teachers and schools need
to be more accountable, and the governors
promised to set up, within the next two years, tests
that will assess whether students are meeting high-
er standards in their states.

After late-night partisan bickering, the gover-
nors issued a six-page policy statement aimed at
rekindling the academic standards movement in
the states — a grass-roots campaign, not one com—
ing from Washington.

Jolml mum to television u up

LOS ANGELES — Don Johnson is back on
TV as a cop, philosophical about roles as police
officers. ‘

“I think we are all secretly fascinated with life
and death. And cops deal with life and death in a
very real my every day,” Johnson told 'I’V’s
“Extra” in an interview for broadcast today.

“We may all be in denial about our ultimate
demise. It’s going to happen. That’s something you
can count on,” the 46-year-old actor said.

TUUIISUUIIE Tony Del/e ha;. been UK ’r top rearing threat the past threeyeair.

UK needed a lift last weekend
against Wake Forest after the
Deacons had cut a 28—point UK
lead to 11. The C ats were cold.
Delk turned up the heat ripping
off the team s next sexen points.

For the ( ats to be successful
this weekend against UMass and
beyond, Delk and his experience
need to be on the court. He has
become a constant for UK, the go-

to—guy that hasn't roamed the
court since Mashburn.

“VVe’ve been in a lot of tourna-
ments and games that get us ready
for something like this," Delk said.

If the Delk and Cats aren‘t
ready the class that couldn't miss
might actually come up empty.

Hansen's live leet make Gym Kat program shine

By Ty Halpin

.N‘I-nim-Smfl‘li'riier prolific athlete of all time —-— will

compete in her final meet at

Memorial Coliseum tomorrow
night. Fittingly, UK will throw the
Southeastern Conference’s party,
holding the meet Hansen has
dominated the last three years.

With it all coming to a close,
Hansen is half lad, halfsad.

“I’m very giad this is over, in
some wa s,” Hansen said last
night. “A er 14 years of gymnas-
tics, it’s time to move on.”

NIovin on means more free
time, antigmore study time. The
latter might be more of a lift for
the Somerset, Wis. native than
any chan e the end of her flipping
career wifi bring.

Where Hansen’s gymnastics
routines come as almost second
nature, life in the classroom has
been anything but easy. The
senior has dyslexia, a learning dis—
ability that makes reading much
more difficult than it is for the
average student.

“It’ll give me a lot more time to
work on school,” Hansen said,
smiling. “I’m truly happy to be
just a student.”

As a student, Hansen has been
something of a triumph. An ani—
mal science major, Hansen hopes
to become a “horse dietician.”

Certainly, the added free time

A 5—foot ball of fire, which has
burned brightly for the better part
of four years, will tail off into the
distance Friday night. As it dies,
jenny Hansen hopes there will be
one more 5 ark, one more flicker.

And, if ight plans 0 accord-
ingly, one more NCAA itle.

horse around, but after that's over,
she’d like to be helping around

Hansen has carried the
gymnastics torch
tenure In Lexin '
three straight 1 CAA All—Around
titles, Hansen has brought nation—

al respectability to a previously

unheralded program.

“She’s done so much for the
program,” said Colleen Sheehy,
who competed with Hansen until
an injury sidelined her this season.
“She‘s brought UK to another
level.”

That other level hasn't quite
been enough. Hansen, who has
always attended the NCAA meet
without her full cast of teammates,
longs to take them along.

“That's been her focus all
along,” said UK coach Leah I it—
tle. “VVe’ve got a good chance to
make it this year, which would cap
a tremendous career for Ienny.“

In ending her career, Hansen
also will halt the continuous heat—
ing on her body. According to Lit-
tle, gymnasts make about 20,000
landings (dismounts, flips and
tumbling runs) per month during
the season. ()ver four years, that
totals 280,000 landings.

Rest will not come until
Hansen (and her UK mates) finish
their season. With the NCAA
meet on the horizon, Hansen
looks forward to gathering more
hardware one last time.

“It’s been really rough this
year,” she said. “But, (not winning
the NCAA Championship) 1s kind
ofa scary thought. I ve just got to
get my focus back.”
