Chad Blackburn churned up
Sunset Drive in Lexington, Ky., at
nearly 20 mph riding a single-file
cushion of wheels bolted to the
boots on his feet He was bran-
dishing a hockey stick.

As he crested an incline on the
normally congested street, Black—
burn lowered his stick and
slapped a rubber ball to his mate,
Stacy Cook. Cook had wheels on
his feet, too.

Clad in a black bandana and
black wrist pads, Cook welcomed
the ball to his hockey stick,
lengthened his stride and pushed
the ball out of reach.

Screeching down the receding
grade as the wind rippled his ban-
dana, Cook caught site of U—
shaped wooden contraption jut-
ting above a neighbor’s hedge anti
eased his pace. Cook called the
contraption a “half pipe." He
pointed out his find to Blackburn,
retrieved the ball, slammed the
rubber brake fixed to his right
heel to the pavement and stopped.
Blackburn came abreast of Cook
and fixed his gaze on the half
pipe. ”Let‘s catch air today,"
Blackburn said.

 

‘IT JUST LOOKE

    

D LIKE FUN’

. «park a;

 

“Yeah, catch air," Cook an-
swered. They were happy. The
“bladin’ “ would be good today.

Bladin’ is not a street gang initi-
ation rite. Bladin’, however, is an
adaptation of ice skating and roller
skating technically called in-line
skating. Somewhere between
500,000 and 1 million pairs of in-
line skates have been sold in the
United States. Ankle-snug, nylon
padded ski-boots bolted to four or
five single-file polyurethane
wheels comprise a pair of in-line
skates. They can transform any
sedimentary couch potato into a
lanky speed merchant. Blackburn
and Cook know why.

“Going downhill, bent down,
with the wind in your face, it feels

pretty ~— awesome," Blackburn
said.
But Blackburn, 12, a sixth-

grader at Morton Middle School,
and Cook,14, a freshman at Henry
Clay High School, are not the only
people enjoying in-line skating.

“Two-thirds of the skates we’re
selling are to kids," said Dan Mor-
ris, manager of John's Running
Shop in Lexington. “But I do sell a
lot of pairs to adults. I’ve sold a
lot to people who can’t run any-
more yet want to keep working
out. They‘re skating now.

MCHAEL CLEVENGER/Kemel Staff

When you go Bladin' on in-line skates like the Rollerblade (shown above, courtesy of John's Run-
ning Shop), you do it in style: It’s good exercise and is catching on in Lexington.

New breed of rollerskates
lets kids, adults ‘catch air’

“It's a good workout. It’s a
good method of fitness. It’s not
just for play," Morris said.

Sheila Thompson, budget and
planning manager at the Lexing-
ton Herald-Leader, is using her
pair to do both. Thompson, 39, is
an avid runner who skates to sup-
plement her training and spend
more time with her 10-year-old
daughter, Addie.

“it’s easier to skate than I
thought — but it‘s more exercise
than I thought," Thompson said.
“l’m not the speediest person in
the world, but I‘ve gotten real
smooth."

Thompson and her daughter be-
gan skating together in August.
About twice a week they tour the
streets of Chevy Chase, a neigh—
borhood near UK.

“It‘s a lot of fun, but I still
haven‘t gotten proficient at stop-
ping,“ Thompson said. “But I
haven’t killed myself yet."

At the heart of every pair of in-
line skates is a single~fi|e arrange-
ment of the three, four or five
wheels that propel the skater. The
wheels different in hardness and
have to be replaced about every
1,000 miles.

Officials release name
of transplant recipient

By NICK COMER
Staff Writer

Officials at the Albert B. Chan-
dler Medical Center released the
name of the hospital’s first heart
transplant recipient yesterday.

According to hospital officials,
Jimmy Epling, 40, of Pikeville, Ky.,
is making better-than-expected
FOSTCSS-

“.Mr Epling is in good spirits,"
said Dr. Michael E. Seleka, who led
the team of surgeons in the surgery
Friday morning. "He is walking
around and eating and doing every-
thing he needs to do."

Seleka said Epling had been
moved from the intensive care unit
to a regular room. Immediately fol-
lowing the operation, hospital offi-
cials said Epling would be in the in-
tensive care unit for at least five
days. Seleka said Epling's progress
led to the change.

“Let’s say 1 am pleased but not
surprised," Seleka said. “By day

 

two, he was up out of bed and walk-
ing around."

The biggest concern now is ar-
throscleiosis, Seleka said, which
normally is handled with bypass
surgery. The location of arthroscler-
osis in heart transplant patients pre-
vents bypass surgery from being ef-
fective, however.

Seleka said he also was con-
cerned with organ rejection and in-
fection, although Epling has shown
no signs of either problem. He said
he will have a biopsy done probably
tomonow to test for rejection.

With the drugs currently available
to prevent rejection, Seleka said
there is a one-year survival rate of
90 percent and a five-year rate of 75
percent.

Seleka said he is eager to perform
more heart transplants at UK.

“As soon as we get a donor, we‘ll
do it," he said. “From a personal
perspective, I would like to do an-
other one right now. it just depends
on donor availability."

Election dates setup;
3 likely to enter race

By GREGORY A. HALL
Senior Staff Writer

Keeping a watchful eye on the fu-
ture but a hold on the past, the Stu-
dent Government Association is
scrambling to set up elections for a
student trustee while working to
close the book on its regular elec<
tion last week.

~SGA President Sean Lehman
said yesterday that April 17 and 18
have been set as tentative dates for
the election of the student member
of the Board of Trustees.

~At the same time, the SGA elec-
tion board will meet tonight at 7:30
to discuss appeals of the presiden-
tial election and student trustee elec-
tion. Election board chairman Greg
Watkins said rules for the election
could be presented to the SGA Sen-
ate for approval next week.

Releasing
reports:
Colleges do
it differently

By KYLE FOSTER
Senior Staff Writer
and MARY MADDEN
Assistant News Editor

The UK Police Department’s re-
cent decision to comply with a fed-
eral law prohibiting the release of
any police records that name stu-
dents is a move not being repeated
at many colleges in the region.

The Department of Education no—
tified UK in a March 4 letter that
the University was in violation of

the 1974 Family Educational
Records and Privacy Act, which is
designed to protect “educational
records."

Subsequently, UK Police Chief
W.H. McComas said any police
records listing students have been
pulled from the media file. “All oth-
er records that do not involve stu-
dents remain in the media file," he
said. “We have clarified our policy
to conform with the law by creating
a policy that we’re not going to re-
lease student records."

But an informal survey by the
Kentucky Kernel revealed that other
universities have different interpre-
tations of what constitutes educa-
tional records and continue to re-
lease records with students‘ names.

For instance, there has been no
change in policy at Bowling
Green's Western Kentucky Univer-
sity since it received a letter similar
to the one received by UK.

See POLICE, Back page

about violation of election rules by
the campaign of president-elect
Scott Crosbie campaign have been
filed.

There was also one against the
Christa Collins campaign, and some
complaints regarding the senate
race.

~Lohman, two-term SGA presi—
dent and trustee, refuted earlier re-
ports that he would seek a third
term as student trustee. He said he
had considered it but said yesterday
he will not run for the student trus-
tee position.

A vocal member of the board dur-
ing his two terms, Lehman opposed
the nomination of Charles Wcihing
ton as president and interim presi-
dent, and vigorously opposing being
excluded from the presidential
search committee.

He also opposed the interim presi-
dent being allowed to be a candi—

date for president.

Three other candidates have
emerged, including former SGA
president and student trustee Cyndi
Weaver.

Scott Damron, a first—year law
student, is running for the student
trustee with Crosbie’s endorsement.
SGA Senator at Large Sheryl Beas-
ley has also said she will run.

The election of out-of—state stu-
dent Crosbie created the need for
the election of a separate student
U’uSlCC.

Under Kentucky law, the student
body president is also the student
trustee, provided he or she is a tuna

time student and a Kentuckx fc‘\l-
dent.

When James Kuder says he
faces “a tough decision" in
choosing the next dean of Stu-
dents at UK, he's not kidding.

- The school brought in {our di-

positive imprint on those who
will have a hand in the final set

Kudcr, UK‘s vice chancellor
for Student Affairs, said he ex-

tween these “very different can.
didates“ for the position
sometime next week. A quick

ston College, is the only minority
finalist.

-Don Robertson, associate

will review before making his fi-
nal decision.

Kuder said he is looking for “a
person who is very student‘

who can manage a budget and
work with people and a thoaght-
ful decision-maker.

“We need a woman or man
who will reach out to get things

How does each candidate fare

Although Robertson, Jones

student affairs, Stockham has

Bat Cats prepare for
stretch through April

By BOB NORMAN
Sports Editor

Keith Madison feels good about
his team’s 22—6 record and its third-
place ranking in the Southeastem
Conference, one of the best confer-
ences in baseball.

But he knows his team has to get
better, and he also is profoundly
aware of the deceptive nature of op-
timism in baseball.

“We feel good about things," the
head baseball coach said, but
we are not where we want to be."

At this point last season. UK’s
1990 team was 19-9. The team,
however, finished 27-29, 8—18 in
the SEC. Last place.

But the difference between one
year and the next is often refreshing,
as the Cats have gone 54 in the
SEC this season, including taking
two of three from the Mississippi
State lmt weekend.

The Cats will once again test their
mettle today as they face Kentucky
State University (5-8) today at 3 on
Shivcly Field.

The Cats, in fact, have three op-
ponents to play at home during the
next three days — State today, Mar-
shall University tomorrow and Bel-
larmine College Thursday — before
they travel to Nashville, Tenn.. Sat-
urday to play SEC rival Vanderbilt
for a three-game series. On the sur-
face, these games may seem insub-
stantial for the Cats. They are not
SEC games and, from a historical

perspective, they are not competi-
tive.

UK, since its first meeting with
Marshall in 1934, has compiled a
47-15 combined record against the
three schools. But Madison, espe-
cially after last season's disaster,
doesn't take anything for granted.

“Kentucky State has always been
a team that runs very well," Madi-
son said of the team the Cats beat 8-
4 last season. “They also have a
good hitting ballclub."

Said Kentucky State coach Ron
Braden: “UK always makes good
contact. They can score a lot of runs
real quick."

No lack of respect here. UK's last
two losses have not come at hands
holding bats or the hands throwing
curve balls — they have come at the
hands covered by leather gloves.

Against Tennessee they commit-
ted a season-high six errors in a 7-1
loss. Sunday, UK lost a cnrcial at-
tempt at a three-game sweep of SEC
rival Mississippi State 4-3. Only one
MSU run was earned.

“What that tells me is that when
one person makes an error, every-
one else gets tight,“ Madison said.
But 25 out of our 28 games we
have played excellent defense."

UK's offense will face KSU’s Mi—
chael Chappelle today.

Expect a group effort from KSU's
mound.

“We're going to pitch everybody.
I don’t let anybody pitch over three
innings,” Braden said.

to find new starters

GREG EANSI Kernel suit

UK coach Bill Curry observes his new football team yesterday.

By BOB NORMAN
Sports Editor

When UK assistant football coach
John Guy watched his football
players running through their first
spring practice yesterday, he was
watching for more than just who
was going to help carry what he
calls “the load" for next season’s
team.

He was watching to see who
would carry the burden.

“When you talk about carrying
the burden, you talk about starting
and everything that goes into start-
ing at this level,” Guy said.

“Someone who shares the load is
a contributor. We are trying to de-
velop contributors, not backups.”

Theburdenis—atthisveryearly
point in the preseason — heavy. and
the load has yet to be shared.

The burden left for UK's return-
ers is staggering. Without All-SEC
linebacker Randy Holleran, line-
backer Billy Swanson and bandit
Jeff Brady, UK loses 340 tackles.
That equals more than one-third of
all tackles made last year (988).

And the percentage of burden left
on the offensive side of the ball is
even more drastic. Gone is Al Bak-
er, who led the Cats in rushing with
780 yards. Baker was second in re-
ceiving with 317 yards.

Altogether, Baker accounted for
30 percent of UK‘s rushing and re-
ceiving yards. He scored 10 of
UK‘s 14 rushing touchdowns.

ran out of eligibility after the end of
last season.

Look at the names and numbers:
leading receiver Phil Logan (565
yards, 37 receptions and four touch-
downs); Baker (35 receptions, two
touchdowns); tight end Rodney
Jackson (282 yards. 34 receptions
and two touchdowns); and John
Bolden (11 receptions. 118 yards
andfour touchdowns).

All those names and numbers are
gone from UK. They all represent
little parts of the full burden left on
those players performing yesterday
in blue shorts (pad practice begins
today).

UK head coach Bill Curry said he
wasn’t worried if new names and
new numbers would replace the old
— he is just coneemed with when.

"They have to." Curry said blunt-
ly. “We’ve just got a long way to
go. It’s a lot different (without last
year's talented seniors).

Because of UK's style of using
many players during the season.
both the offense and defense have
many contributors returning.

At defensive end is Derrick
Thomas, who proved in the Tennes-
see game that he was ready for the
big time. Replacing the mighty
Holleran is Marty Moore, who had a
lot of quality minutes last season.

Expect five-year senior Gary Wil-
lis to play a strong hit man in place
of Brady. And much of the burden
will be carried by returning starters
Dean Wells, Larry Jackson and Ster-
ling Ward.

On the offensive side of the ball,
UK has five quality quarterbacks
vying to fill the spot that produced
as much trouble as it did surprises
last season.

Last season’s starter Freddie Mag-
gard gets knocked out with a shoul-
der injury. Brad Smith enters and
shows a certain amount of brilliance
before going down with a knee inju-
ry. Then in comes Ryan Hockman,
who played great games against
Florida and Tennessee.

Now enter freshman athlete Poo-
kie Jones and 6-foot-3 gun Mike
Kinney.

Those quarterbacks will have
small but effective targets as well.

Kurt Johnson, projected as starter
at flanker back, at 5—7 and 140
pounds, is stout and has a knack for
outsmarting larger defenders.

Neal Clark, at 5-9 and 170
pounds, probably will start at split
end. Clark, if he lacks a certain
amount of explosiveness. has a
smoothness to overcome it.

At running back, Mike Thomas,
Craig Walker and recnrit Damon
Hood will vie for Baker‘s vacant
spot. Thomas is the front-runner but
currently is being nagged by “respir-
atory problems." Hood, Mr. Ken-
tucky in football, is expected to
make an early impact.

Returning at fullback is power-
house Terry Samuels — a redshirt
freshman himself last season. He
started six games to rush for 325
yards and catch 34 passes for 223
yards. His name was on the Fresh-
man AlI-SEC list at season‘s end.

“I‘m going to miss Al (Baker) be-
cause of his strength and speed,"
Samuels said after yesterday’s prac-
tice. But we’ve got some good
backs that have come in. Right now
it's a matter of coming together.”

 ‘Bonfire’ is better

REVIEW

Associated Press

There’s something about a Brian
De Palma movie that's just not
right. There’s always something
off-center or riding the razor's edge
of sloppiness. it’s like a well-
dressed woman with perfect make-
up who has lipstick blotches on her
teeth.

“Dressed to Kill" started off as a
fast-paced. slick erotic tease and
promptly slipped into a very care-
less B-movie. “Scarface” had the
promise of a hard-edge adventure
with a lot of tension and drama, and
then deteriorated into a drug joke.
“The Untouchables" borrowed so
heavily from other movies that it
was hard to get much honesty out
of it.

“The Bonfire of the Vanities"
(Warner Bros), based on the Tom
Wolfe novel, was generally trashed
by critics and audiences alike when
it played theatrically.

What's off about this latest De
Palma work is that the movie can‘t
be taken seriously. The characters
are straight out of a comic strip and
proceed through some cartoon-like
situations. So it probably works as
video on the home screen because
it’s no better or no worse than 3 Sat-
urday morning cartoon.

Sherman McCoy is a self-styled
“Master of the Universe." He is a
millionaire and has an uptight, snot-
ty wife and a spoiled, married mis-
tress, Maria His very ordered and
affluent life comes crumbling down
after his mistress runs over a man in
the South Bronx, flees the scene
and leaves Sherman holding the
bag.

It’s not just another hit and run.
The victim is black; Sherman and
Maria are white. A local black min-
ister, the Rev. Bacon, wants to
make the accident into a racial
cause celebre. The district attorney,
who wants to run for mayor, needs
minority votes and is eager to prove
that the city goes after white crimi-
nals just as diligently as it does
black criminals.

Riding the periphery of it all is a
down-and-out drunk, Peter Fallow,
whose career in journalism is about
to come to a screeching halt. Fallow
chronicles it all, gets the inside
track and ultimately produces a
best- selling book.

There are a few cute twists to the
story of Sherman‘s fall and Fal-

As Sherman, Tom Hanks, look-
ing very odd with capped teeth and
precision cut hair, is somewhat
jerky and nervous. He moves like
he's in pain throughout the movie
— like he’s walking on broken
glass and is not quite sure how to
get off.

Melanie Griffith has finally
found her niche and is quite believ-
able as Maria Ruskin, a manipula—
tive bubblehead.

Bruce Willis as Fallow somewhat
overdoes the drunk routine —— with-
out much style. It becomes a trifle
boring after a while. But Willis is
Willis and remains his acerbic self.

About the only likeable character
in the entire movie is Morgan Free-
man’s Judge White. He also is the
only character who bears any sem-
blance to reality.

There’s good support from Kim
Cattrall as Judy McCoy, Saul Rubi-
nek as Jed Kramer, F. Murray Abra-
ham as the D.A. and John Hancock

Student body
should help UK

‘pack the stacks’

Years ago, when the UK student body was a much smaller place,
graduating classes would get together and donate something to the
University —— like a tree or a fountain M. as a way to show their ap-
preciatjon.

As enrollment grew and the campus started spreading its wings,
that tradition began to die out.

Now, however, some students are trying to resurrect that idea.
And for a worthy cause to boot.

So UK‘s graduating class of 1991 is giving the school “Universi-
ty Day." set for tomorrow. This year the widely touted celebration
will benefit the “Pack the Stacks“ fund—raising campaign for the
UK Libraries.

The day’s program, which is being planned by the Student Li-
brary Endowment Committee, features a lecture from Chai Ling, a
prominent leader of the Chinese student uprising at Tiananmen
Square.

But the most important pan of“Pack the Stacks" campaign may
belong to you. Graduating students are encouraged to donate $35 to
the Library Endowment Fund drive.

We have all experienced the frustration of needing a book for a
research paper of class presentation, only to discover that it was no—
where to be found on the Margaret 1. King Library’s shelves.

Help the library system build up its collection so future UK stu-
dents won't have to go through the same nightmare we have.

The $35 donated by students will be used to buy a book for the li-
brary and the donor’s name will be on a nameplate in the book.

Forking over that kind ofcash, we realize, is not easy, especially
considering our woeful economy. Dig deep anyway. Give a little
back to a school that has given you a lot. A worthy cause deserves
a chance to succeed.

 

Poor SGA voter turnout

against its white-painted walls.

They were about 10 feet from
the Kentucky Kernel newsroom,
about 1 million feet from the out-
side world. Campaigning will do
that to a person. Leaves you tired,
disillusioned. Your face hurts
from all that smiling.

Walking up to them, however, i
noticed something a little peculiar
that I couldn’t spot in the other
UK students running for Student
Government Association president
and vice president.

It was an almost undcscribable
look of, well, despair. Neither of
them had to say anything. The
tone in their voices was indicative
of people who had already concerto
ed. Hensley and Saffer, the elec-
tion underdogs, were ready to
chew off the leach and go home.

The reasons were simple, Hen-
sley said. They (fid not have
friends shoving campaign litera-
ture in people’s faces as they
walked by Margaret 1. King Li-
brary. Hensley said, quite candid-
ly, that he'didn’t feel comfortable
asking his friends to do that.

They did not luv: much sup-
port. Neither is in a greelt organi-
zation, although Hensley was a
Sigma Nu at Ohio State Universi-
ty. They did not receive the Greek
Political Action Committee en-
dorsement. Their only real vocal
support was from the Kentucky
Kernel editorial board. and any
election pundit knows that’s the
kiss of death

What struck me as odd -~ and
what left me in some ways also
disillusioned-- was the fact that
this was pediapa the most bat.

It's a shunt: that none of the
candidates appealed to voters. It’s
an even greater tragedy, however,

It is disturbing to see that even
someone as well-known as Chris.

is embarrassing to see Keith Clark

600, to see HensleysSaffer receive
only 300.
